after so many years, the cassette tape was too worn out to be used. i promised her i would find a replacement.my redeemer became moms favorite song after my younger brother tim was killed by a drunk

medicine is not always neededsometimes all a sick person needs is some reassurance that all will be wellin such cases the doctor may prescribe a placeboa placebo is a sugar pill，a harmless shot，or ail empty capsule（胶囊）even though they have no medicine in them , these things seem to make people wellthe patient thinks it is medicine and begins to get betterhow does this happen?the study of the placebo opens up new knowledge about the way the human body can heal itselfit is as if there was a doctor in each of usthe doctor will heal the body for us if we let itbut it is not yet known just how the placebo works to heal the body. some people say it works because the human mind fools itselfthese people say that if the mind is fooled into thinking it got medicine，then it will act as if it did，and the body will feel betterplacebos do not always workthe success of this treatment seems to rest a lot with the relationship between the patient and the doctorif the patient has a lot of trust in the doctor and if the doctor really wants to help the patient，then the placebo is more likely to workso in a way, the doctor is the most powerful placebo of alla placebo can also have bad effectsif patients expect a bad reaction to medicine，then they will also show a bad reaction to the placebothis would seem to show that a lot of how you react to medicine is in your mind rather than in your bodysome doctors still think that if the placebo can have bad effects it should never be usedthey think there is still not enough known about itthe strange power of the placebo does seem to suggest that the human mind is stronger than we think it isthere are people who say you can heal your body by using your mindand the interesting thing is that even people who swear this is not possible have been healed by a placebo28what does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 5 refer to? athe placebo bthe bad effect cthe body dthe medicine29what do we know about placebo according to the passage? ait contains some sort of medicine bit wont function if you are negative about medicine cpeople who dont believe placebo cant be healed by it dpatients and doctors know clearly how it helps to heal the body30why is the doctor sometimes the most powerful placebo? athe patient needs help badly bthe patient believes in the doctor cthe doctor knows better about your body dthe doctor has carefully studied medicine31what is the best title for the text?aplacebo：work on your mindbplacebo：the most powerful medicinecplacebo：the best doctor dplacebo：heal your bodydis beauty something always positive? almost everyone thinks attractive people are happier and healthier, have better marriages and have more respectable jobs. personal advisors give them better advice for finding jobs. even judges are softer on attractive defendants. but in the executive（主管的） circle, beauty can become a disadvantage.while attractiveness is a positive factor for a man on his way up the executive ladder, it is harmful to a woman. handsome male executives were considered having more honesty than plainer men; effort and ability were thought to lead to their success. attractive female executives were considered to have less honesty than unattractive ones; their success was connected not with ability but with factors such as luck. all unattractive women executives were thought to have more honesty and to be more capable than the attractive female executives. why are attractive women not thought to be able? an attractive woman has an advantage in traditionally female jobs, but an attractive woman in a traditionally manly position appears to lack the manly qualities required. this is true even in politics, “when the only clue is how he or she looks, people treat men and women differently, ” says anne bowman, who recently published a study on the effects of attractiveness on political candidates（候选人）. she asked 125 college students to rank two groups of photographs, one of men and one of women, in order of attractiveness. the students were told the photographs were of candidates for political offices. they were asked to rank them again, in the order they would vote for them. the results showed that attractive males completely defeated unattractive men, but the women who had ranked most attractive unchangeably received the fewest votes.32. in traditionally female jobs, attractiveness _. a. makes women look more honest and capable b. strengthens the manly qualities required c. often enables women to succeed quickly d. is of no importance to women33. bowmans experiment shows that when it comes to politics, attractiveness _.a. turns out to be a disadvantage to menb. has as little effect on men as on womenc. affects men and women aliked. is more of a disadvantage than an advantage to women 34. according to the passage, peoples views on beauty are often _.a. practical b. one sided c. old fashioned d. supportive35. the passage is mainly about _.a. the advantages of being attractiveb. the disadvantages of being attractivec. equal rights for womend. the importance of appearance第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。people lie all the time, but depending on how skilled they are. it can be difficult to determine when someone is lying to you. do you know how to recognize the signs that someone is lying to you? 36 liars（说谎者） make false eye contact.a person who is lying to you wont make eye contact with you or they make too much eye contact. if a person is lying he may feel you are watching him and he will look down at the floor or away from your eyes. some people try to stare at you in the face in a deliberate way. 37 liars avoid using contractions(缩略语) the liars will say “i did not notice your money”，instead of “ i didnt notice your money”. this is an attempt by the liars to be absolutely clear what they mean. 38 strange body language.liars often feel uneasy, turn away from the person to whom they are speaking, blink rapidly, smile less and have pitch changes in their tone of voice. they may cross their arms which is a sign of being “closed” or trying not to reveal too much information. 39 . they could touch parts of their face, an ear or a nose or play with keys or another item that they have in their hand.liars provide additional information without being asked for it. 40 . the result is the more complicated the story is, the less believable it will be. you will have the feeling that nothing could be further from the truth.a. usually, it ends up making the story a lot less believable. b. here are some easy ways to help you recognize liars and catch lies.c. sometimes people will look unnatural when they are lying.d. they will get angry if you doubt their story.e. they seem to think that by telling their story in detail, you will find it more believable.f. they try to change the subject or move the conversation in a different direction.g. in this way,
