第三部分：完形填空（共20小题，每题1.5分，共30分）My l4-year-old son, John, and I spotted the coat which was hanging at a secondhand clothing store in Northampton Mass. While the other coats drooped(低垂), this one looked as if it were 36 itself up. The coat had beautiful tailoring, a Fifth Avenue label and a(an) 37 price of $28, which was popular just then with 38 , but could cost several hundred dollars new. This coat was even better, bearing that 39 of classic elegance. John tried it on and the fit was perfect. John 40 the coat to school the next day and came home wearing a big smile "Did the kids like your coat?" I asked. "They loved it," he said, 41 folding it over the back of a chair and smoothing it flat. Over the next few weeks, a 42 came over John. Agreement replaced contrariness(作对)and reasoned discussion replaced fierce 43 . He became more mannerly and 44 , eager to please. He would generously loan his younger brother his tapes and lecture him 45 his behavior. When I mentioned this incident to his teacher and 46 what caused the changes, she said laughing. "It 47 be his coat!" Another teacher told him she was giving him a good 48 not only because he had earned 49 but because she liked his coat. At the library, we ran into a friend “Could this be John?" he asked surprisingly, 50 John's new height, assessing the cut of his coat and extending his hand, one gentleman to another. John and I both know we should never 51 a person's clothes for the real person within them. 52 there is something to be said for wearing a standard of excellence for the world to see and for 53 what is on the inside to what is on the outside. For John it is a time when it is as easy to try on different approaches to 54 as it is to try on a coat.

第四部分：阅读理解（共20小题，每题2分，共40分）
A Time spent in a bookshop can be most enjoyable, whether you are a book-lover or merely go there to buy a book as a present. You may even have entered the shop just to find shelter from a sudden shower. Whatever the reason, you can soon become totally unaware of your surroundings.The desire to pick up a book with an attractive dust jacket is irresistible, although this method of selection ought not to be followed, as you might end up with a rather dull book.You soon become interested in some book or other, and usually it is only much later that you realize you have spent far too much time there and must dash off to keep some forgotten appointment----without buying a book, of course.This opportunity to escape the realities of everyday life is, I think, the main attraction of a bookshop. There are not many places where it is possible to do this. A music shop is very much like a bookshop. You can wander round such places to your heart’s content. If it is a good shop, no assistant will approach you with the inevitable greeting, “Can I help you, sir?” You needn’t buy anything you don’t want. In a bookshop an assistant should remain in the background until you have finished browsing. Then and only then, are his services necessary. Of course, you may want to find out where a particular section is, but when he has led you there, the assistant should retire carefully and look as if he is not interested in selling a single book.You have to be careful not to be attracted by the variety of books in a bookshop. It is very easy to enter the shop looking for a book on ancient coins and come out carrying a copy of the latest best-selling novel and perhaps a book about brass-rubbing-something which had only slightly interested you up till then. This volume to the subject, however, happened to be so well illustrated and the part of the text you read proved so interesting that you just had to buy it. This sort of thing can be very dangerous. Apart from running up a huge account, you can waste a great deal of time wandering from section to section.56. The underlined phrase “dust jacket” means___________A. a kind of clothes B. a paper cover of bookC. a dusty book D. a title of a book57. You may spend too much time in a bookshop because___________________ A. the dust jackets are very attractive B. it is raining outsideC. you start reading one of the books D. you have to make sure you won’t buy a dull book as a present58. In a good bookshop_____________A. your heart is satisfied B. the assistant greets you in a warm way C. all the books there are interesting D. you feel that you are in a music shop59. The best title for this passage may be__________ A. How to Spend Your Time B. The Attraction of BookshopsC. Bookshops and Their Assistants D. How to select Books?
BCan you remember what kind of sports interest you most during childhood? Looking back to years ago, you probably find excitement and great fun in just racing around the playground or skipping rope for hours. At that time, you were thinking entertainment rather than fitness.However, nowadays with so much high-tech home equipment and so many underused gym memberships, people seem to have forgotten the simple joy of jumping rope. Actually, restoring it will give you a total-body exercise and keep you healthy.Jumping rope has never gained really widespread acknowledgement although it’s regarded as an excellent form of exercise. There are two essential reasons for that.For one thing, while most people recognize jumping rope as an excellent form of cardiovascular (心血管的) exercise , they also believe that it is simply too difficult to continue jumping for the near 20 minutes that it takes to achieve a beneficial physical outcome.For another, a lot of people consider it somewhat to be boring and overly repetitive instead of enjoyable or entertaining.In fact, jumping rope can be great fun and exciting as long as you find a proper way to practice it. For instance, you can change your pattern every 10 or 20 jumps instead of doing the usual two-foot bounce over and over again. A single bounce, a double –bounce, a skip , a knee-up , side swings , as well as a variety of other easy-to-learn free-style rope-jumping .Now scientists’ research is discovering that jumping rope also prepares the brain for learning and memory. It is an exercise allowing both brain hemispheres（半球）to perform in parallel (平行) to each other . Come and join us in jumping rope—a life-long activity requiring little equipment, time and space, yet leading to a much healthier life.60. What’s the function of the first paragraph? A. It’s used to lead in the topic to be discussed. B. It’s used as a conclusion of the research. C. It’s used to express the author’s opinion. D. It’s used to give some background information.61. It’s because that rope jumping has not spread widely around the world.A. it is too difficult to learn to jump B. it requires little equipment, time and space C. it benefits the cardiovascular systemD. it is considered boring and repetitive 62. According to the researchers, jumping rope . A. helps both brain hemispheres work equally B. is suitable for patients to recover from illness C. is especially dangerous for small kidsD. only prepares the brain for learning.63. What is the author’s attitude towards rope jumping? A. He is arguing against it. B. He is not clear about its effect. C. He is sitting on the fence of it. D. He is in favour of it.

DCompetition between international universities is heating up, as China grows as one of the largest exporters of students aiming to study abroad. “Lots of universities are becoming more and more aggressive to attract Chinese students. Every day I receive contacts from universities in the US expressing the desire to come to China to recruit students,” said Frank Joseph, a commercial officer from embassy of the United States.One key reason why more Chinese students are able to study abroad is the economy. With China’s boom within the past decade, more families have the financial wherewithal(资金) to send their children to international universities. There will be a total of 200,000 family-funded Chinese students studying overseas in 2009, up 20 percent from last year, said Wu Zaofeng, deputy secretary general of China Education Association for International Exchange.International institutions, Joseph said, are also facing increasingly tough financial situation with a shortage of domestic students and a drop in government subsidies(补贴). Students, especially in the US are paying high tuition fees and living expenses. Chinese students with money to spend, according to experts, can fill up the gap. Students on average spend 150,000 yuan to 200,000 yuan every year studying in US, according to statistics from the US Institute of International Education. During 2007-2008, there were approximately 81,000 Chinese students studying in the US, up 19.8 percent from 2006.Representatives from approximately 60 universities from the United States are planning to arrive in Beijing this weekend to attract more Chinese students at this year’s fair. Besides the US, many other countries are also vying(竞争) to enroll Chinese students.Post-study work visa put out by British government allows all international students completing a UK degree qualification to apply for a visa to stay on and look for work in UK for up to 2 years. Being the third most popular destination for international students next to the US and the UK, France has set up two types of scholarships and has handed out an increase of 26 percent in scholarship funds to Chinese students in recent years.68. The reason for heating up competition between international universities is ___. A. China’s boom, the students’ desire and foreign universities’ commercial motive B. that China is one of the largest exporters of the students aiming to study abroad C. that the students in China are becoming richer and richer D. that the students in foreign countries do not want to go to universities69. The word “domestic” in the third paragraph closely means _______? A. local B. international C. native D. household 70. Which of the following statements is true? A. In 2009 there will be 200,000 Chinese students studying in the US. B. There are fewer family-funded Chinese students studying abroad in 2008 than in 2009. C. In 2009 there will be 200,000 state-funded Chinese students studying overseas. D. Chinese students are able to study abroad for their relatives overseas.71. From the passage we can learn that _____. A. the number of foreign students is becoming smaller and smaller B. there were approximately 81,000 foreign students studying in the US during 2007-2008 C. the international universities are short of money D. the Chinese students spend more money than the American students
ENOT all memories are sweet. Some people spend all their lives trying to forget bad experiences. Violence and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physical and emotional scars. Often they relieve experiences in nightmares.Now American researchers think they are close to developing a pill, which will help people forget bad memories. The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience. They hope it might reduce, or possibly wipe out, the effect of painful memories.In November, experts tested a drug on people in the US and France. The drug stops the body releasing chemicals that fix memories in the brain. So far the research has suggested that only the emotional effects of memories may be reduced, not that the memories are wiped out. They are not sure to what degree people's memories are affected.The research has caused a great deal of argument. Some think it is a bad idea, while others support it.Supporters say it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldiers' troubling memories after war. They say that there are many people who suffer from terrible memories. “Some memories can ruin people's lives. They come back to you when you don't want to have them in a daydream or nightmare. They usually come with very painful emotions,” said Roger Pitman, a professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. “This could relieve a lot of that suffering.”But those who are against the research say that maybe the pills can change people's memories and changing memories is very dangerous because memories give us our identity. They also help us all avoid the mistakes of the past.“All of us can think of bad events in our lives that were terrible at the time but make us who we are. I'm not sure we want to wipe those memories out,” said Rebecca Dresser, a medical ethicist.72. The passage is mainly about .A. an argument about the research on the pill B. a new research on the pillC. a way of wiping out painful memories D. a new medical invention73. The drug tested on people can .A. cause the brain to fix memories B. prevent body producing certain chemicalsC. stop people remembering bad experiencesD. wipe out the emotional effects of memories74. We can infer from the passage that .A. the pill has already been produced and used by the American publicB. the pill will certainly stop people's emotional memoriesC. taking the pill will do harm to people's physical healthD. experts are not sure about the effects of the pills 75. Which of the following does Rebecca Dresser agree with in the last paragraph?A. Some memories can ruin people's lives.B. Experiencing bad events makes us different from others.C. People want to get rid of bad memories.D. The pill will reduce people's sufferings from bad memories.
