第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题，每题2分，满分40分）
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
A photographer takes a picture of the Chinese bronze rat head and rabbit head sculptures display on the preview of the auction（拍卖）of Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Berge’s art collection at the Grand Palais in Paris, France, Feb, 21, 2009. Chinese lawyers have asked the French court to stop auction house Christie’s putting two bronze relics（文物） looted from China under the hammer, lawyers said Friday.
A Paris court on Monday ruled against stopping the sale of two looted Chinese bronze sculptures which come up for auction at Christie’s on Wednesday. Under the ruling of the Tribunal de Grande Instance in Paris, the plaintiff（起诉人）, the Association for theProtection of Chinese Art in Europe（APCAE）, was ordered to pay compensation（赔偿）to the defendant.
Ren Xiaohong, a lawyer for APCAE, told Xinhua that it was “of great significance” to file the lawsuit. “We hope to arouse public attention in Europe on the fate of numerous Chinese works stolen in the past, to help keep those relics well protected and collected,” Ren said.
The Qing Dynasty（1644—1911）relics, the heads of a bronze rabbit and a rat, were among an original set of 12 bronze animal heads that were once decorated at the imperial summer resort Yuanmingyuan. They were looted when the palace was burnt down by Anglo-French allied forces during the Second Opium War in 1860.
The pair became part of a collection of the late fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent. They have been put up for auction by his partner, Pierre Berge. The two items are expected to fetch between 16 million and 20 million euros.
So far, five of the 12 bronze animal heads have been returned to China, while the whereabouts（下落）of five others are unknown.
56. The two bronze animal heads were displayed at the Grand Palais in Paris so that
.
A. they could be collected and well preserved
B. the photographers could take pictures
C. the public could see them in advance
D. they couldn’t be sold at auction
57. The significance to stop the sale of two bronze animal heads is to
.
A. fetch between 16 million and 20 million euros
B. draw public attention to the Chinese works stolen in the past
C. make the world know more about history of the Qing Dynasty
D. find the other five bronze animal heads and return them to China
58. Which of the following is NOT true?
A. The 12 bronze animal heads have been put up for auction.
B. The 2 bronze animal heads haven’t been returned to China.
C. The 12 bronze animal heads were used as imperial decoration.
D. Yuanmingyuan was once burnt down by Anglo-French allied forces.
59. The passage is most probably taken from
.
A. a newspaper
B. an advertisement
C. a history textbook D. an introduction of auction
B
Having one of those days?or weeks?when everything seems to annoy you? Even if you do nothing about it, your bad mood（心情）will probably go away after some time. But with a little effort, you can forget it much faster—often within a day or two.
◇Walk it off
Exercise is the most popular bad-mood buster. A person who’s in a bad mood his low energy and high tension. Taking a fast ten-minute walk, or doing some quick exercises can do wonders towards changing that bad mood.
◇Tune it out
Listening to your favorite music for a while can also make tension go away quickly, because music starts associations with past positive experiences we’ve had.
◇Give yourself a pep talk
Stop and listen to what’s on your mind. Bad moods are often started by too many negative thoughts. Write them all down on paper, the pessimistic（悲观的）messages you’ve been giving yourself and then give optimistic answers. (“I still don’t have a job.” vs “I have two interviews next week.”)
◇Reduce your stress
Relaxation techniques are wonderful mood-lifters. These include deep breathing, stretching and visualizing, all of which sound complicated（复杂的）but aren’t. One easy way to visualize: close your eyes and picture a favorite place, such as the beach. Another simple way to be against distress is to make a to-do list. One reason for being in a bad mood is feeling you have no options. By taking control over certain areas, you realize you’re not helpless. You can make changes in your mood and life.
◇Avoid things that won’t improve your mood.
TV may not help much: You need to increase your energy level and stimulate（刺激）your mind—something that the TV show “Neighbors” won’t do. And before you reach for that piece of cake and coffee, think about how mood and food are linked. Sugar and caffeine contribute to depressed moods. A better choice? Research shows that carbohydrates, such as potatoes and pasta（面食）, produce a calming effects in people who have a desire for them.
60. Which of the following may help us stop a bad mood?
A. Doing nothing about it.
B. Exercising and enjoying music.
C. Writing down negative thoughts.
D. Talking about it with neighbors.
61. Why is it suggested that you close your eyes and picture the beach?
A. It helps remove bad mood.
B. It brings us a new technique.
C. It is not complicated to do so.
D. It is an area to be easily controlled.
62. TV may not improve your mood because it
.
A. shows what happens around you B. does not energize you
C. reminds you of eating and drinking D. produces a calming effect
63. Which would be the best title for this passage?
A. Energy Level and Stress B. How to Beat a Bad Mood
C. Bad Mood and Our Life D. How to Control Your Feeling
C
It often happens that a number of applicants（申请人）with almost the same qualifications and experience all apply for the same position. In their educational background, special skills and work experience, there is little, if anything, to choose between half a dozen candidates. How then does the employer make a choice? Usually on the basis of an interview.
There are many arguments for and against the interview as a way of selection. The main argument against it is that it results in a wholly subjective decision. As often as not, employers do not choose the best candidate. They choose the candidate who makes a good first impression on them. Some employers, of course, reply to this argument by saying that they have become so experienced in interviewing staff that they are able to make a good assessment of each candidate’s likely performance. The main argument in favor of the interview is that an employer is concerned not only with a candidate’s ability, but with his or her suitable personality for the particular work situation. Many employers, for example, will overlook occasional mistakes from their secretary if she has a pleasant personality.
It is perhaps true to say, therefore, that the real purpose of an interview is not to assess the assessable aspects of each candidate but to make a guess at the things that are hard to measure, such as personality, character and social ability. Unfortunately, both for the employers and applicants for jobs, there are many people of great ability who simply do not interview well. There are also, of course, people who interview extremely well, but are later found to be very unsatisfactory employees. Candidates who interview well tend to be quietly confident, but never boastful（自夸的）, direct and straightforward in their questions and answers; cheerful and friendly, but never over-familiar; and sincerely enthusiastic and optimistic. Candidates who interview badly tend to be either very shy or over-confident. They either talk too little or never stop talking. They are either over polite or a bit rude.
64. People argue over the interview mainly because they have
.
A. different purposes in the interview
B. different experiences in interviews
C. different standards of selection
D. different ways of selection
65. The underlined word “subjective” means “based on one’s
rather than facts” .
A. personality
B. character C. opinion D. ability
66. The purpose of the last paragraph is to indicate
.
A. a link between success in interview and personality
B. connections between work abilities and personality
C. differences in interview experience
D. differences in personal behavior
67. What is the author’s attitude towards the interview?
A. He thinks it is a good way of selection.
B. He doesn’t quite agree with it.
C. He is neither for nor against it.
D. It is not clear.

Since we are social beings, the quality of our lives depends in large measure on our interpersonal relationships. One strength of the human condition is our tendency to give and receive support from one another under stressful circumstances. Social support consists of the exchange of resources among people based on their interpersonal ties. Those of us with strong support systems appear better able to deal with major life changes and daily difficulties. People with strong social ties live longer and have better health than those without such ties. Studies over a range of illnesses, from depression（抑郁症）to heart disease, show that the presence of social support helps people protect themselves from illness, and the absence of such support makes poor health more likely.
Social support cushions stress in a number of ways. First, friends, relatives and coworkers may let us know that they value us. Our self respect is strengthened when we feel accepted by others despite our faults and difficulties. Second, other people often provide us with informational support. They help us to explain and understand our problems and find solutions to them. Third, we typically find social companionship supportive. Engaging in leisure time activities with others helps us to meet our social needs while at the same time distract（转移…注意力）us from our worries and troubles. Finally, other people may give us important support—financial aid, material resources, and needed services—that reduces stress by helping us solve and deal with our problems.
68. Research shows that people’s physical and mental health has much to do with
.
A. the social medical system
B. the amount of support they get from others
C. their strength for dealing with interpersonal ties
D. their ability to deal with daily worries and troubles
69. The underlined word “cushions” probably means “
” .
A. adds up to
B. lessens the effect of
C. does away with
D. lays the foundation for
70. Helping a sick neighbor with some repair work is an example of
.
A. important support
B. informational support
C. social activity
D. the strengthening of self-respect
71. Social companionship is beneficial in that it
.
A. helps strengthen our ties with relatives
B. enables us to get rid of our faults and mistakes
C. makes our leisure time activities more enjoyable
D. draws our attention away from our worries and troubles

As my train was mot due to leave for another hour, I plenty of time to spare. After buying some magazines to read on the journey, I made my way to the luggage office to collect the heavy suitcase. I had left there three days before. There were only a few people waiting, and I took out my wallet to find the receipt for my case. The receipt did not seem to be where I had left it. I emptied the contents of the wallet, and railway tickets, money, waste-paper, and photographs fell out of it; but no mater how hard I searched, the receipt was nowhere to be found.
When my turn came. I explained the situation sorrowfully to the assistant. The man looked at me doubtfully as if to say that he had heard this type of story many times and asked me to describe the case. I told him that it was an old, brown-looking object not different from the many cases I could see on the shelves. The assistant then gave me a form and told me to make a list of the chief contents of the case. If they were correct, he said, I could take the case away. I tried to remember all the articles I had hurriedly packed and wrote them down as they came to me.
After I had done this, I went to look among the shelves. There were hundreds of cases there and for one fearful moment, it occurred to me that if someone had picked the receipt up, he could have easily claimed the case already. This had not happened fortunately, for after a time. I found the case lying on its side high up in a corner. After examining the articles inside, the assistant was soon satisfied that it was mine and told me I could take the case away. Again I took out my wallet; this time to pay. I pulled out a ten-shilling notes and the “lost” receipt slipped out with it. My face turned red and I glanced up at the assistant. He was nodding his head knowingly, as if to say that he had often seen this happen before too!

73. Before the writer could take his case back, he had to
.
A. pay a ten-shilling note
B. read some articles in the magazine
C. pick up a receipt
D. make a list of the chief contents in the case
74. The writer felt foolish because
.
A. he had to fill in a form
B. the assistant was laughing at him

One possible version：
Recently more than 260,000 netizens have participated in the survey about whether the curriculum（课程）of senior high school should be divided into arts and science.
About 46% of the netizens are in favor of the idea that the curriculum should be divided into arts and science. Otherwise, students may have too much to learn, which increases their burden greatly. However, about 54% of the netizens think that it is unwise to get arts and science separated. They believe that it is not good for students’ full development and that they may have a narrow knowledge.
In my opinion, the problem does not lie in whether the curriculum should be divided or not. Actually, some students spend their time and energy mostly on either arts or science, which may have a bad effect on their future. So I would like to suggest that the college entrance examination should be reformed.
第二小题
开放作文
One possible version：
As we can see in the picture, a man is hung on a scale, which is balanced by the weight. The man is carrying something while his eyes are staring at the weight, which stands for value.
I think this picture tries to tell us that the man is eager to get more in return for what he has done for the society. Without pay he would probably do nothing. As our country is still developing, we need more people who can make contributions. Only when everyone does his best can our society become better in the shortest possible time.
