It was a cold winter’s night when I stopped for gas on my way home from work. I was tired and had a slight   36 .

I worked in a   37  doctor’s office and this was one of those days when the unexpected happened, making the schedule run   38  than usual. It seemed I was going to be late   39  home and my husband, being the   40  person, would be ready to pronounce me late once again. Maybe   41  I hurried, I could still make it home.

I was heading inside to   42  for my gas when I noticed an older couple at the counter. I heard them asking for   43  to the local hospital. It was the same hospital that I had just   44  a few minutes ago.

The young man at the counter was trying to be   45  in explaining how to get there, with two other people making   46 . One of them was   47  trying to give them a whole different route back. It was then that I walked over to the couple and said, “Would you like to follow me to the   48 ?”

A look of   49  crossed the woman’s face.

“I’m going right by there,” I said, which wasn’t a(an)   50  since I had just made up my mind to do   51  that.

I got in my car and began the journey back. I was trying to watch to be sure they were right   52  me. It took only fifteen minutes to get there as rush hour traffic was beginning to   53 . I felt better than I had all day and my headache was nearly gone.

Later, as I arrived home, my husband   54 , “So you aren’t ever late any more.”

I said, “Sometimes it’s   55  to be late.”

For most of us, our house is our home base, and having a happy and pleasant vibe (氛围) in all of our rooms is important.

1. ... Adding color to any room can help you feel more cheerful, and it can be done pretty quickly! Consider painting just one wall a lively color. A bright red, a peaceful green or even a lively yellow completely changes the feel.

2. ... First of all, think flower power! Fresh flowers are very easy to get at your local grocery market, and they make any room seem more alive. Plants have the same positive effect. Another way to celebrate life is to surround yourself with images of friends and family. Don’t keep your photos in albums or in your computer. Put them up on the walls to remind yourself of your favorite times and your favorite people.

3. ... The more points of light in any room, the better it will be. Especially as the days are getting shorter, having warm lighting will help you feel full of energy and alive through the winter months. In your bedroom, put a lamp on either side of your bed. Installing dimmers (调光器) is also a simple and inexpensive way to make the mood of a room easy to change. At dimmers.net, for example, you can get a dimmer for just $17.75.

4. ... You begin and end almost every day in your bedroom, so make the room comfortable! Have proper bedding and pillows (枕头). Keep your bedroom as tidy as possible, and remove anything that will interfere with your sleep. Get your new pillows and bedding at bedbathandbeyond.com.

5. Take control It’s this simple: Clear space = A clear mind. Keep desktops, countertops and tabletops open. Put the papers, files and other things away. Not only will your home feel cleaner, it will feel a whole lot bigger!

第三部分： 阅读（共两节，满分40分）

第一节　阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）

         阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从41~55各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卷上将该项涂黑。

(A)

In 1901, H.G. Wells, an English writer, wrote a book describing a trip to the moon. When the explorers landed on the moon, they discovered that the moon was full of underground cities. They expressed their surprise to the “moon people” they met. In turn, the “moon people” expressed their surprise. “Why,” they asked, “are you traveling to outer space when you don’t even use your inner space?”

H.G. Wells could only imagine travel to the moon. In 1969, human beings really did land on the moon. People today know that there are no underground cities on the moon. However, the question that the “moon people” asked is still an interesting one. A growing number of scientists are seriously thinking about it.

Underground systems are already in place. Many cities have underground car parks. In some cities, such as Tokyo, Seoul and Montreal, there are large underground shopping areas. The “Chunnel”, a tunnel connecting England and France, is now complete.

But what about underground cities? Japan’s Taisei Corporation is designing a network of underground systems, called “Alice Cities”. The designers imagine using surface space for public parks and using underground space for flats, offices, shopping, and so on. A solar dome (太阳能穹顶) would cover the whole city.

Supporters of underground development say that building down rather than building up is a good way to use the earth’s space. The surface, they say, can be used for farms, parks, gardens, and wilderness. H.G. Wells’ “moon people” would agree. Would you?

1. The explorers in H. G. Wells’ story were surprised to find that the“moon people” ___________.     

A. knew so much about the earth            B. understood their language

C. lived in so many underground cities    D. were ahead of them in space technology

2. What does the underlined word “it” (Paragraph 2) refer to?

A. Discovering the moon’s inner space.               B. Using the earth’s inner space.

C. Meeting the“moon people”again.                         D. Traveling to outer space.

3. What sort of underground systems are already here with us?

A. Offices, shopping areas, power stations.  

B. Tunnels, car parks, shopping areas.

C. Gardens, car parks, power stations.      

D. Tunnels, gardens, offices.

4. The word “wilderness” in the last paragraph means___________.

    A. wildlife                                                                  B. poor districts     

C. desert                                                         D. an area that is not allowed to build on

5. What would be the best title for the text?

A. Alice Cities — cities of the future      

B. Space travel with H. G. Wells

C. Enjoy living underground                     

D. Building down, not up
