A man goes shopping because he needs something. His purpose is 22 and decided in _23_. He knows what he wants, and his _24_ is to find it and buy it. All men simply walk into a shop and ask the assistant for what they want. If the shop has it in stock, the _25 can be and often is completed in less than five minutes, with hardly any chat and to everyones _26_. For a man, slight problems may begin when the shop does not have what he wants. In that case the salesman tries to sell the customer something else - he offers the nearest to the article _27 . Good salesman brings out such a substitute with _28_: “I know this jacket is not the _29 you want, sir, but would you like to try it for size. It happens to be the _30 you mentioned.” Few men have _31_ with this treatment, and the 32 response is: “This is the right color and may be the right size, but I should be wasting my time and yours by trying it on.”For a woman, buying clothes is always done in the _33_ way. Her shopping is not often _34_ on need. She has _35_ fully decided what she wants, and she is only “having a look round”. She is always _36_ to persuasion, willing to try on any number of things. Uppermost in her mind is the thought of finding something that everyone thinks _37_ her. Most women have an excellent sense of _38_ and are always on the look-out for the unexpected bargain. Faced with a roomful of dresses, a woman may easily spend an hour going from one rail to another _ 39_ coming across the dresses she wants to try on. It is a tiresome process, but obviously a(n) _40_one. 21.A.experienceB. effectC. priceD. event22.A. settledB. uncertainC.changeableD. high23.A.detailB.advanceC.hurryD.full24.A.reasonB.needC.dreamD.purpose25.A. dealB. argumentC. resultD.success26.A.adnessB.amusementC.surpriseD.satisfaction27.A.askedB. appointedC. storedD. wanted28A.careB.skillC.attentionD.interest29.A. priceB. styleC. productD.clothes30.A. sizeB. jacketC. colorD.one31.A.experienceB.moneyC.interestD.patience32.A. ordinaryB. usualC.goodD.most33.A.sameB.similarC.oppositeD.different34.A.reliedB.doneC.dependedD.based35.A. alreadyB. neverC. yetD. little36.A. openB. readyC. easyD. hard37.A. performsB. expressesC. suitsD. adapts38.A. valueB. qualityC. clothingD. beauty39.A.afterB.beforeC.asD.by40.A. tiringB.boringC. enjoyableD. peaceful第二部分 阅读理解（共25小题。第一节每小题2分，第二节每小题1分；满分45分）第一节阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A, B, C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。A Some strange,wi1d and wonderful stories colored the news in 2011： A Copenhagen(哥本哈根)bus company has put “love seats” on its vehicles for people looking for a partner“ Even love at first sight is possible on the bus”，said a spokesman to explain the two seats on each bus that are covered in red cloth and a “love seat ”sign .

He said that encouraging visitors to set a value on museums and art galleries, which have been free since 2001, would work extremely well. Mr. Johnson held up New Yorks Metropolitan Museum of Art as a model. Although New Yorks museums are officially free, visitors are strongly encouraged to pay a recommended entry fee of $20. At the Met, entry is impossible without first going to the ticket desk. Mr. Johnsons spokesman later admitted that free admission was a “huge draw” for London, but he said, “Having visited the Met last week, the mayor is impressed by how they maximize voluntary contributions and believes there are lessons to be learnt.” Mark Jones, director of the Victoria and Albert Museum, told The Times that the museum already requested a 3 donation but was not as forceful as New Yorks institutions. He said, “Im not in favor of anything that makes people feel they wont want to go because they feel like they will have to pay.” When entrance fees to national museums were decided not to be charged here in 2001, there was a 70 percent increase in visitor numbers in the first year. Political parties have since been unwilling to suggest change, despite concerns about cost. Hugo Swire, the former Shadow Culture Secretary, was dismissed(解雇) in 2007 for suggesting that “museums and galleries should have the right to charge if they wish”. Some in the art community argue, however, that free entrance has done little to increase the breadth (广泛) of visitors and has caused shortfalls in the budget(预算) for the museums. In response to it, Colin Tweedy, chief executive of Arts & Business, said that Britain was “leading the world” in allowing its treasures to be freely available. He said, “To return to museum charging would be a return to the dark ages.”Ben Bradshaw, the Culture Secretary, said, “The mayor showed his true intention when he suggested those who could afford it should be encouraged to contribute to the arts. I believe it is a disaster for the culture, arts and sport.” He thinks that free museums and galleries have once been one of this Governments great successes. 49.

But now it seems that all the hard work may have been in vain.Scientists say there are ten other reasons why people just keep getting bigger. They say that sleeping habits, central heating, medicines and even some pollutants (污染物) can play a role in weight gain.Traditionally, people have focused on diet and exercise to solve the problem. However the scientists from top US and Canadian universities say that other things must be considered.Lack of sleep could be partly the reason. In recent years, the average nights sleep has dropped from nine hours to just seven. Sleep shortage changes levels of the hormones (荷尔蒙) that control food intake and body fat and increase hunger and appetite.If it is too hot or too cold, we burn calories (卡路里) to cool down or heat up. But if the temperature is just right, the calories may be turned into body fat instead.Those who take medicine to control their blood pressure can often put on weight. Similarly, studies have shown that going on the Pill can add to a womans weight.Mother nature may also be the reason, with our body shape being partly inherited (遗传的). The overweight are also more likely to settle with partners of a similar size. And their children are more likely to be obese (肥胖的). And the use of pollutants is on the rise, say the researchers. The man-made chemicals in pesticides (杀虫剂) and plastics can lead to weight gain.Your mothers age and your weight at birth are also important, with older woman more likely to have obese children and underweight babies having a bigger chance of being obese in later life.We also tend to put on weight as we get older. Finally, giving up smoking can also help pile on the pounds.The scientists from Yale, Cornell and Johns Hopkins said there was some evidence supporting poor diet and lack of exercise as the main causes of obesity. 53. Which is commonly thought to be effective in losing weight?A. To have operation to cut extra fat. B. To take pills and avoid fatty food.C. To sleep less to burn more calories. D. To have less food and take more exercise.54. Which of the following factors doesnt lead to overweight?A. Regular and enough sleep.B. Comfortable living environment.C. Not enough physical exercise. D. harmful chemicals in the food.55. Which of the following statements would the author agree to?A. Lack of sleep leads you to take in more food.B. Unpleasant weather helps you to put on weight.C. Obese parents are not likely to have fat children.D. Medicine for blood pressure helps you lose weight.56. What would women prefer to do to have healthy children?A. To have only one child. B. To marry at an older age.C. To marry a strong husband. D. To give birth to a baby at younger age. EMy mind went blank when I saw the gun pointing against the car window as we pulled out of the garage. This cant be happening to me. Then I felt the gun, cold, against my head, and I heard my friend Jeremy saying, “What do you want? Take my wallet,” but at the time I thought of nothing. I remember being a little annoyed when the gunman pulled me from the car by the hair. I remember the walk to the house - Jeremy, me, the two men with two guns. I remember the fear and anger in the gunmens voices because Jeremy was being slow, and I remember wondering why he was being slow. I did not realize that Jeremy had thrown the keys into the bush. But I remember that sound of the gun hitting Jeremys head and the feeling as the
