第三部分:阅读理解(共16小题;每小题1.5分,满分24分)
阅读下列短文,然后从各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。  
You’ve no doubt heard people say how much they “need” a holiday, when what they really mean is that they want one. Certainly, people working under pressure feel a very strong desire to escape from work and become less tight during holidays, and experience a changed environment.
However, work for many people today is office work and mental, rather than physical tasks. These people may seek much more energy-taking activities while on holiday, rather than simply lying on a beach. 
Once people become used to going on holiday, taking holidays becomes a habit. For many people the holiday is one of the last things to be given up, and indeed many workers have chosen to spend some of their last pay when being on holiday. It may give them a “lift” in facing some difficulties in life.
Most of us also enjoy showing off the lovely tans --- dark skins we get from a holiday. So many tourists are now able to afford holidays in the sun that tans have become quite common; although we join a tan together with health, it has been fully shown that too much sunshine will result in high danger of skin problems, as well as drying out one’s skin and leading to more lines on your face later in life.

A. love working outdoors all the time

D. become rich and want a better life
57. When office people have holidays, they often _________ .
A. lie on the beach and enjoy sunshine  
B. spend more than they can afford
C. think about their work on the beach  
D. choose to do more physical exercise

A. cheer someone up                
B. help someone find a job
C. be the last thing not to be given up   
D. bring good luck to someone
59 At the end of the passage the writer tries to tell the reader _________.
A. the importance of getting sunshine

Jewelweeds are pretty flowers that grow in wet, shady spots all over the Northern Hemisphere. According to a recent experiment, they seem to know their own flower family —or at least, recognize whether or not they came from the same mother plant. Together with other through their leaves, but through their roots.
Scientists planted jewelweeds in pots with either siblings(兄弟姐妹)or strangers. Sibling plants were grown from seeds that came from the same mother plant. Stranger plants were grown from seeds from different plants.
When jewelweeds were planted in pots with strangers, the plants started to grow more leaves than if they had been planted alone. This response suggests that plants are competing with strangers for sunlight, since a plant with more leaves can receive more light and make more food.
When jewelweed seedlings were planted with siblings, they few a few more branches than they normally would if they were alone—but they did not start growing lots of extra leaves. This behavior suggests the plants are more likely to share resources, rather than compete.
The plants only responded this way when they shared soil. If stranger seedlings were planted in different pots and placed next to each other, for example, they did not grow more leaves. This different shows that the plants must use their roots to detect sibling plants in the same soil. In 2007, Dudley and her team studied the Great Lakes sea rocket, a plant that grows on the beach—where it may be hard to get fresh water. In that experiment, the botanists observed that when sea rockets were planed with siblings, they tolerated each other. But when they were planted with strangers, the sea prickets reacted by working extra hard to grow lots of roots, but not extra leaves.
The different types of plants may react in different ways, but they have one thing in common: the roots. In both experiments, on Jewelweeds and sea rockets, the key was the shared soil—and other plant species may turn out to show similar behavior. These experiments, as well as earlier experiments, suggest “The phenomenon is quite common.” Says Hans de Kroonof, an ecologist in the Netherlands.
57.In Paragraph 1, the author mentions a recent experiment of Jewelweeds to___________.
A.make a comparison  B.introduce a topic
C.describe a pretty flower   D.put forward a new theory
58.What can we know from the experiments done by scientists?
A.Jewelweeds can grow in the Northern Hemisphere.
B.Jewelweeds can grow in wet, shady spots.
C.Jewelweeds are more friendly to their siblings than to stranger plants.
D.jewelweeds can recognize their siblings through leaves.
59.If jewelweeds and their siblings are planted in different pots and placed close to one another, they will___________.
A.start to grow more leaves       B.detect the strangers 
C.compete with sibling plants     D.grow normally
60.The best title of the passage would be___________.
A.Flower family knows its roots
B.The growing conditions of Jewelweeds
C.Jewelweeds and sea rockets
D.The stranger plant recognize each other

While you may be doing everything right, ignoring just one or two steps in the process may keep you from getting a job, especially in this fierce market. Here is a checklist that covers some of the major links in the job-search chain.
THE RESUME --- Make sure it is up-to-date and tailored to the types of jobs you are seeking for. Have someone else look at your resume. If you cannot afford a career coach, give your resume to friends or family members to scrutinize. Have copies of your resume printed so that you are ready to hand them out at interviews.
COVERING LETTERS---Maybe you’ ve set up a few basic styles in advance, but that’s not enough. Each covering letter should be designed to suit the job for which you are applying.
THE WARDROBE(衣橱)---Check your wardrobe to ensure that you have the appropriate professional dress, including shoes, ready for interview.
NETWORKING---Don’t isolate yourself from others for days. Network through e-mail messages, phone calls, appointments and meetings keep you in touch with the outside world and prevent you from becoming depressed.
APPLICATION---A glance at huge online job sites isn’t usually the best way to find a job. You are more likely to succeed through the people you know via networking.
THE FOLLOW—UP---It is quite common to apply for job and never hear back from the company. Take measures, such as following up with a phone call a week or so after you apply. If you know someone at the company, check whether that person will put in a good word for you.
INTERVIEWS----If you’ ve  got plenty of interviews but no return calls or job offers, take a look at your interviewing skills. This is one area where investing in a career coach may pay off. But if you can’t afford one, try to find a job group or service that conducts free mock(模拟) interviews.
SUPPORT SYSTEMS---Finally, recognize that looking for job is rather difficult. Even at the best of times, a job hunt is often about rejection, and that can be hard to endure. Staying in touch with family, friends, professional networks and fellow job seekers can help you to maintain a positive attitude and a sense of perspective.
【小题1】It is implied in the text that__________.

A.people often pay no attention to writing their resume
B.the interview is the most difficult step for interviewees
C.a career coach often offers free mock interviews to interviewees
D.your social network may help you a lot in your job hunt

A 34-year-old mother has spoken of how she woke up thinking she was 15 years old and living in 1992.

Naomi Jacobs, from Manchester, was convinced she was still a teenager. In her mind, John Major was Prime Minister and George Bush Sr. was running the White House. She also showed how she screamed when a boy appeared and called her “Mum”. Mobile phones and e-mails were puzzling and Google, Facebook and YouTube sounded like made-up words, she said.

Ms. Jacobs, who had no memory of the years, was told by doctors that she had Transient Global Amnesia (TGA). She has now written a book about the experience which happened in 2008.

“I fell asleep in 1992 as a brave, very confident know-it-all-15-year-old, and woke up as a 32-year-old single mum living in a rented house,” Ms. Jacobs said. “The last thing I remember was falling asleep in my bed, dreaming about a boy in my class. When I woke up, I looked in the mirror and had the fright of my life when I saw an old woman with wrinkles staring back at me. Then a little boy appeared and started calling me Mum. That’s when I started to scream. I didn’t know who he was. I didn’t think he was much younger than I was, and I certainly didn’t remember giving birth to him. I began sobbing uncontrollably. I just wanted my mum. I couldn’t get my head around going to bed one night and waking up in a different century.”

TGA is a rare type of amnesia which can occur suddenly, affecting around three people per 100,000 each year. Fortunately, permanent memory loss is rare. Ms. Jacobs’ memory started to return after eight weeks.

Some people who often suffer from migraines (偏头痛) also appear to be more likely to have TGA. The cause of TGA is unknown. Some think that it may be caused by a temporary cut of blood flow to parts of the brain involved in memory.

1. When a little boy came to call her “Mum”, Naomi Jacobs was _____.

A. excited            B. frightened       C. worried           D. embarrassed

2.What was the last thing Naomi Jacobs could remember?

A. She was a brave and confident girl.

3.According to the text, TGA _____.

A. is quite common

B. is caused by brain injuries

4.What’s the main idea of the text?

A. Naomi Jacobs has a poor memory.

B. Naomi Jacobs gets an amazing career after TGA.

C. Naomi Jacobs wakes up with the memory of her youth.

D. Naomi Jacobs succeeds in overcoming the disease.

5.According to the passage, we know _______.

A. Ms. Jacobs’ memory returned to normal now

A new research has uncovered that culture is a determining factor when interpreting facial emotions.The study reveals that in cultures where emotional control is the standard,such as Japan,focus is placed on the eyes to interpret emotions.Whereas in cultures where emotion is openly expressed,such as the United States,the focus is on the mouth to interpret emotion.

“These findings go against the popular theory that the facial expressions of basic emotions can be universally recognized,”said University of Alberta researcher Dr.Takahiko Masuda.“A person's culture plays a very strong role in determining how they will read emotions and needs to be considered when interpreting facial expression."

These cultural differences are even noticeable in computer emoticons (情感符号),which are used to convey a writer’s emotions over email and text messaging.The Japanese emoticons for happiness and sadness vary in terms of how the eyes are drawn,while American emoticons vary with the direction of the mouth.In the United States the emoticons :) and :--) show a happy face,whereas the emoticons :(  or :--( show a sad face.However,Japanese tend to use the symbol (^-^) to indicate a happy face,and ( ;_;) to indicate a sad face.

“We think it is quite interesting and appropriate that a culture tends to mask its emotions. The Japanese would focus on a person's eyes when determining emotion,as eyes tend to be quite subtle (微妙的),”said Masuda.“In the United States, where open emotion is quite common,it makes sense to focus on the mouth, which is the most expressive feature on a person's face.”

60.The text mainly tells us that______.

A. cultural differences are expressed in emotions

B. culture is the key to interpreting facial emotions

C. different emoticons are preferred in different cultures,

D.people from different cultures express emotions differently

61.If a Japanese wants to detect whether a smile is, true or false,he will probably______.

C. look into the eyes                        D. judge by the voice

62.People used to believe that___________.

A.some facial expressions of emotions were too complex to be recognized

B.people in the world interpreted basic emotions in different ways

C.people could only recognize the facial expressions of basic emotions;

D.people all’ over the world understood basic emotions in the same way

63.The computer emoticons used by the Americans show that_____________.

A.they express their feelings openly

B.they tend to control their emotions

C.they are good at conveying their emotions
