阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）选出可以填入空白的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
In ancient Egypt, the pharaoh(法老) treated the poor message runner like a prince when he arrived at the palace, if he brought good news. However, if the exhausted runner had the misfortune to bring the pharaoh unhappy news, his 31 was cut off.
Shades of that spirit spread over today’s conversations. Once a friend and I 32 up some peanut butter and sandwiches for an outing. We were walking light heartedly out the door, picnic basket in hand, 33 a 34 neighbor looked up at the sky and said, “Oh boy, _35_ day for a picnic. The weatherman says it’s going to rain.” I wanted to 36 him on the face with the peanut butter and sandwiches. Not for his stupid weather report, for his smile.
Several months ago I was 37 to catch a bus. As I put my handful of cash across the Greyhound counter 38 , the sales agent said with a broad smile, “Oh that bus 39 five minutes ago. “ Dreams of head-cutting!
It’s not the 40 that makes someone angry, 41 it’s the unsympathetic attitude with which it’s delivered. Everyone must 42 bad news from time to time, and winning professionals do it with the proper 43 . A doctor advising a patient that she need an operation does it in a caring way. A boss 44 an employee he didn’t get the job 45 a sympathetic tone. Big winners know, when delivering any bad news, they should share the feeling of the receiver.
Unfortunately, many people are not 46 of this. When you are tired 47 a long flight, has a hotel clerk 48 said that your room isn’t ready yet? It makes you as 49 want to land your fist right on their unsympathetic faces.
Had my neighbor told me of the upcoming 50 with sympathy, I would have appreciated his warming. Big winners, when they bear bad news, deliver bombs with the emotion the bombarded(被轰炸的）person is sure to have.

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，从每篇短文后所给各题的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Golden sunlight danced in the treetops, and children’s laughter filled the park. The smell of popcorn played on the breeze, and life seemed good. It was one of the happiest Saturday mornings I had spent with my little daughter, Gigi.
That was, until two strangers threw her into their car and sped away. It seemed like a bad dream. I could barely whisper when the police questioned me. For hours we waited, but there wasn’t any news.
“Go home, Ma’am,” the police officer said. “We’ll monitor your telephone. Trust me, we’ll find her.” After what had just happened, it was hard for me to trust anything.
My friend Gloria came over that afternoon. “I heard about Gigi on the radio. Everyone is looking for the car. The interstates are all blocked.” She took my hand and said, “Look here. I want you to have this picture and pray with me.”
It was a picture of a little girl sound asleep in her bed. Standing by the bed was a tall, blond angel. His hand was touching the girl’s shoulder as he smiled down at her.
“I’m too exhausted for any hocus-pocus right now, Gloria! I want my daughter home!” I screamed, and then began sobbing. Gloria placed the photo on our desk and knelt down beside me. “Just pray with me,” she said, holding my hand.
I had no strength left, so we prayed and waited what seemed an eternity. But the phone never rang.
Suddenly, the front door swung open. There stood Gigi. “Gigi! Thank God!” I cried, throwing my arms around her, “Where did those men take you? How did you get home? Did the police find you?”
“No Mommy!” said Gigi. “I was really scared because those men said they were taking me far away. We were going really fast. But then a tall man walked out in front of the car, and they ran off the road and hit a tree.” Then the tall man ran up and opened the car door and pulled me out. He was really nice, and said I would be okay now. He must have brought me home because then I woke up here in front of our house.”
“But who... how did he know... where to bring you?” My voice broke and trailed to a whisper.
“I don’t know, Mommy,” Gigi said.
Just then Gigi noticed Gloria’s picture on the desk. “That’s him!” She gave a loud cry, pointing at the picture. “That’s him! Except he didn’t have wings, and he was wearing blue jeans and a T-shirt. But that’s him exactly. I’d remember him anywhere!”
Later that night, the police found the injured kidnappers. When questioned, the driver remembered making a sharp turn to avoid hitting a tall blond man.
Twenty years have gone by. Nobody claims to have rescued Gigi and there have been no logical explanations for Gigi’s miraculous escape.
There have always been things that people can’t explain. But, from that day forward, I believe that all experiences, positive and negative, are given to us for our strengthening and learning.
Gigi keeps Gloria’s picture on her desk, and she remembers her angelic friend. And, like my daughter, I have a faith that has carried me through many trials since that day many years ago.
51. The writer describes a happy scene at the beginning of the passage to ___.
A. introduce a topic B. attract readers’ attention
C. show the beauty of nature D. make a sharp contrast
52. What is the writer’s attitude towards the pray together with Gloria?
A. Curious B. Grateful C. Doubtful D. Causal

A. the police followed and caught them
B. Gloria’s best friend helped the police to find them
C. an angel spotted them and took them to the police station
D. they had an accident when a tall man tried to stop their car
54. What can be best title for the passage?
A. picture of an angle B. power of God C. Gigi’s escape D. Mommy’s anxiety.

B
One morning a few years ago, Harvard President Neil Rudenstine overslept. For this busy man, it was a sort of alarm: after years of non-stop hard work, he might wear himself out and die an early death.
Only after a week’s leave—— during which he read novels, listened to music and walked with his wife on a beach—— was Rudenstine able to return to work.
In our modern life, we have lost the rhythm between action and rest. Amazingly, within this world there is a universal but silly saying: “I am so busy.”
We say this to one another as if our tireless efforts were a talent by nature and an ability to successfully deal with stress. The busier we are, the more important we seem to ourselves and, we imagine, to others. To be unavailable to our friends and family, and to be unable to find time to relax—— this has become the model of a successful life.
Because we do not rest, we lose our way. We miss the guide telling us where to go, the food providing us with strength, the quiet giving us wisdom.
55. The “alarm” in the first paragraph refers to “_______”.
A. a signal of stress B. a warning of danger
C. a sign of age D. a spread of disease
56. According to Paragraph 4, a successful person is one who is believed to _______.
A. be able to work without stress B. be more talented than other people
C. be more important than anyone else D. be busying working without time to rest
57. Some people feel guilty when taking time to rest because they _______.
A. think that taking a rest means lacking ambitions
B. fail to realize that rest is an essential part of life
C. fail to realize that religions force them to rest
D. think that taking a rest means being lazy.
58. What is the main idea of this passage?
A. We should balance work with rest. B. The Sabbath gives us permission to rest.
C. It is silly for anyone to say “I am busy.” D. We should be available to our family and friends.
C
The simple exercise of sitting down and standing up again without holding onto anything, could suggest how long you have to live. This is the belief of a group of physicians, who came up with the ‘sitting-rising test’ to measure their patients’ flexibility and strength. They developed a scoring system for the test and found that people who scored three points or less out of 10, were more than five times as likely to die within six years, as those who scored more than eight points.
Claudio Gil Araujo, of Gama Filho University in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, was among the doctors who originally developed the sitting rising test (SRT) to quickly assess the flexibility of athletes, but he now uses it to persuade his patients that they need to stay active to maintain their muscle and balance, and live longer, Discover Magazine reported.
As we age, our muscles tend to become weaker and a loss of balance means we are increasingly likely to fall. Current ways to test frailty can be time-consuming, impractical and inaccurate for small doctors’ surgeries, but experts are keen to keep older people moving. Dr Araujo says that anyone can take the SRT because no equipment is needed.
In a study, published in the European Journal of Cardiology, the researchers described how 2002 adults aged between 51 and 80 took the SRT at Clinimex Exercise Medicine Clinic in Rio. They found that patients who scored fewer than eight poin
