第三部分  阅读理解（共20小题；每小题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。

Geena David knew she wanted to be a movie star when she was very young. She was not sure what gave her the idea, but she wanted to look like a movie star. “I have a lot of pictures from my childhood of me wearing sunglasses,” she says. “I used to wear them to watch TV.”

Early movie actors started wearing sunglasses not because they looked good, but because their eyes hurt. The lights used on movie sets were extremely bright and could cause a painful problem known as “Klieg eyes”. It was named after the Klieg brothers who invented the lights. Actors wore sunglasses to give their eyes a rest. But when movie stars began wearing their sunglasses in public, they quickly became a must.

Eventually actors started wearing sunglasses in their movies as well as on the street. Audrey Hephburn wore ultra-cool Ray-Ban sunglasses in the 1961 movie, Breakfast at Tiffany’s. As a result, Ray-Ban sunglasses started to appear more and more in the movies. In 1979, Ray-Ban “Wayfarers” were worn by Jake and Elwood in The Blue Brothers. Tom Cruise wore Ray-Ban “Aviator” sunglasses in the 1986 hit, Top Gun. Then in 1997, Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones made Ray-Ban “Predator” sunglasses famous in Men in Black.

　  Of course sunglasses aren’t just a fashion statement. The main reason to wear sunglasses is to protect our eyes against UV radiation. UV radiation can damage our eyes, so people now choose their sunglasses carefully. But you don’t have to give up style for safety. The choice of frames and lenses available these days is huge. So you can protect your eyes and still be the coolest person on the beach.

You may be spending far too many of your present moments in efforts to win the approval of others, or in being concerned with some disapproval that you have encountered．We all enjoy applause, compliments(恭维)and praise, and approval in itself is not unhealthy. Approval-seeking is a misleading zone only when it becomes a need rather than a want.

If you want the approval, you are simply happy to have the recognition of the other people. But if you need it, you are going to break down if you don’t get it. That’s when the self-destructive forces move in. Similarly, when approval-seeking becomes a need, you give up a large part of yourself to the “outside person” whose advocacy(拥护)you must have. If they disapprove, then you are immobilized(使丧失机动性)（even in a small way）. In such a case, you have chosen to wear yourself——worth on your sleeve for someone to rub or not to rub as they see fit. You feel good inside only if they decide to praise you.

The need for approval of another person is bad enough, but the real trouble comes with the need for the approval of everyone for every act. If you carry around such a need, then you are bound for a great deal of misery and frustration in your life. Moreover, you will be incorporating a wish——washy (软弱无力的)non-person self-image that will result in the kind of self-rejection.

The need for approval must go! No question makes there. It must be completely got rid of from your life if you are to gain personal fulfillment. Such need is a psychological dead end, with absolutely no benefits to you.

1．Approval-seeking is healthy when________

       A．you need the approval

       B．you only want the approval

       C．you need the approval of everyone for every act

       D．you don’t care about the approval

2．The self-destructive forces move in when________

       A．you need the approval and you get it

       B．you want the approval and you get it    

       C．you need the approval but you don’t get it

       D．you want the approval but you don’t get it

3．What does the sentence” You hven chosen to wear your self-worth on your sleeve for someone to rub or not to rub as they see fit.” mean?

       A．You have decided to give up yourself worth in order to get the approval.

       B．You have decided to change yourself worth in order to get the approval.

       C．You have decided to show yourself worth to others and allow them to make a judgment.

       D．You have decided to put yourself worth in other’s hand and allow them to keep it or hurt it as they like.

4．The need for the approval of everyone for every act will enentually result in________

       A．self-rejection         B．real troubles    C．misery     D．frustration

5．What can we infer from the passage?

       A．People can benefit from the need of the approval.

       B．Both the want and need for approval are unhealthy.

       C．The need for the approval is a destructive feeling and people must get rid of it.

       D．Since everyone enjoys praise and compliment, approval-seeking is a natural human need.

Since we are social beings, the quality of our lives depends in large measure on our interpersonal relationships. One strength of the human conditions is our possibility to give and receive support from one another under stressful(有压力的) conditions. Social support makes up 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 problems. People with strong social ties live longer and have better health than those without such ties. Studies over types of illnesses, from depression to heart disease, show that the presence of social support helps people defend themselves against 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 co-workers may let us know that they value us. Our self-respect is strengthened when we feel accepted by others in spite of our faults and difficulties. Second, other people often provide us with informational support. They help us to define and understand our problems and find solutions to them. Third, we typically find social companionship supportive. Taking part in free-time activities with others helps us to meet our social needs while at the same time distracting(转移注意力) us from our worries and troubles. Finally, other people may give us instrumental support — money aid, material resources, and needed services — that reduces stress by helping us resolve and deal with our problems.

1．Interpersonal relationships are important because they can _______.

A．make people live more easily       B．smooth away daily problems

C．deal with life changes              D．cure types of illnesses

2．The researches show that people's physical and mental health _______.

A．lies in the social medical care systems which support them

B．has much to do with the amount of support they get from others

D．is related to their courage for dealing with major life changes

4．Helping a sick neighbor with some repair work in spare time is an example of _______.

       A．instrumental support                   B．informational support

       C．social companionship              D．the strengthening of self-respect

5．What is the subject discussed in the text?

       A．Interpersonal relationships.     B．Kinds of social support.

       C．Ways to deal with stress.      D．Effects of stressful conditions.

第四部分：书面表达（共两节，满分45分）

第一节：阅读表达（共5小题；每题3分，满分15分）

    阅读下面的短文，并根据短文后的要求答题。（请注意问题后的字数要求）

You know you have to read “between the lines” to get the most out of anything. I want to persuade you to do something equally important in the course of your reading. I want to persuade you to “write between the lines.” Unless you do, you are not likely to do the most efficient kind of reading.

There are two ways you can own a book. The first is the property right you establish by paying for it, just as you pay for clothes and furniture. But this act of purchase is only the prelude(前奏) to possession. Full ownership comes only when you have made it a part of yourself, and the best way to make yourself a part of it is by writing in it.

Why is marking up a book necessary while reading it? First, it keeps you wide awake. In the second place, reading, if it is active, is thinking, and thinking tends to express itself in words, spoken or written. The marked book is usually the thought-through book. Finally, writing helps you remember the thoughts you had, or the thoughts the author expressed

If reading is to accomplish anything more than passing time, it must be active. You can’t let your eyes glide(滑动) across the lines of a book and come up with an understanding of what you have read．The book you read for pleasure can be read in a state of relaxation, and nothing is lost. But a great book, rich in ideas and beauty, a book that raises and tries to answer great fundamental questions, demands the most active reading which you are able to do. If, when you have finished reading a book, the pages are                  your notes, you know that you read actively.

76．Which sentence in the passage is the closest in meaning to the following one? If you “write between the lines” while reading, you probably read actively and efficiently.

________ ________ ________ ________ ________ ________ ________ ________ ________ 

77．What is owing a book in its true sense according to the author? (Please answer within 10 words.)

________ ________ ________ ________ ________ ________ ________ ________ ________                                                                                 

78．List at least two reasons of marking up a book necessary while reading it. (Please answer within 30 words.)

________ ________ ________ ________ ________ ________ ________ ________ ________                                                                                 

79．Translate the underlined sentence in the last paragraph into Chinese.

________ ________ ________ ________ ________ ________ ________ ________ ________                                                                                 

80．Fill in the blanks in the last sentence with proper words. (Please answer within 10 words)

 ________ ________ ________ ________ ________ ________ ________ ________ ________
