第三部分：阅读理解（满分50分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A,B,C,D） 中，选出最佳选项。
(A)
Surgery that can improve the way a person looks is being more and more popular in the United Stated. This kind of surgery is called cosmetic surgery (整形手术), and both men and women are turning to this treatment as a way of keeping their appearance young as well as keeping competitive in their jobs. Men especially are beginning to turn to face-lifts, liposuction (taking fat out of the body), and implants (putting man-made parts into their bodies) to help them look younger. As companies downsize and move younger employees into higher positions, older employees in their late forties and early fifties feel the need to look and act younger in order to stay competitive. A younger look through cosmetic surgery may give an older employee a few more years on the job.
These operations are not without dangers, however. One young woman had an eye operation to get rid of the bags under her eyes. She described her experience as terrible. She said, "When he started cutting, I was fully awake. Even though he'd given me an injection (注射) near my eyes, I saw everything." She went on to explain, "I knew I had to keep still because of what he was doing. He was scraping away fat under my eyes. It took about ten minutes. After he finished I felt I couldn't walk. I was so weak." Her troubles did not end after the operation. For two weeks, her eyes were swollen and almost completely closed, and even dark glasses could not hide the side effects of the operation.
Liposuction is probably the most popular cosmetic operation in the United States. It seems simple enough. First, a small cut is made over the places where the patient wants the fat removed. Next, a small pipe is put into the cut. A machine is then turned on, and the fat is taken right out of the body. However, as one doctor explained, some problems can happen after the operation. He warned, "Irregular lumps (块) and loose skin can result from this operation. If it is not completely done, liposuction can produce a very lumpy result." Patients often must have more liposuctions to correct the problem.
41. What is the main idea of the first paragraph?
A. Some people want to have cosmetic surgery in order to keep their jobs.
B. There are two reasons why people have cosmetic surgery.
C. How older employees try to stay on their jobs for more years.
D. A person can win the competition in the job by means of looking young.
42. How many kinds of cosmetic surgeries does the writer mention?
A. 5 B. 4 C. 3 D. 2
43. The underlined word "downsize" (in Para. 1) means_______ .
A. develop branches and employ more labourers
B. become smaller in the number of employees
C. move downwards to other places
D. put an end to business
44. What do we know about liposuction from the text?
A. An unsuccessful liposuction may lead to more operations.
B. Most liposuction operations are successful and safe.
C. A liposuction can be lifelong useful for people to stay young.
D. A bad liposuction needs more doctors to make it up.

A year ago, I paid no attention to English idioms, though my teacher emphasized(强调) the importance again and again. But soon, the importance of English idioms was shown in an amusing experience.
One day, I happened to meet an Englishman on the road, and soon we began to talk. As I was talking about how I was studying English, the foreigner seemed to be astonished. Gently shaking his head, shrugging his shoulders, he said, “You don’t say!” “You don’t say!” I was puzzled. I thought, perhaps this is not an appropriate topic. “Well. I’d better change the topic.” So I said to him. “Well, shall we talk about the Great Wall? By the way, have you ever been there?” “Certainly, everyone back home will laugh at me if I leave China without seeing it. It was magnificent.” He was deep in thought when I began to talk like a tourist guide. “The Great Wall is one of the wonders in the world. We are very proud of it.” Soon I was interrupted again by his words:” You don’t say!” I couldn’t help asking, “Why do you ask me not to talk about it?” “Well, I didn’t request you to do so.” He answered, greatly surprised. I said, “Didn’t you say ‘you don’t say’?” hearing this, the Englishman laughed to tears. He began to explain, “ ‘You don’t say’ actually means ‘really!’ it is an expression of surprise. Perhaps you don’t pay attention to English idioms.”
Only then did I know I had made a fool of myself. Since then I have been more careful with idiomatic expressions. Remember: what the English teachers said is always right to us students.
53. At first on hearing “you don’t say”, I thought the foreigner meant________.
A. he was not interested in the topic
B. he was only interested in the Great Wall
C. I had talked too much
D. I had to stop talking
54. What does the underlined word “amusing” (paragraph 1) probably mean?
A. important B. interesting C. terrible D. unlucky
55. From the passage, we can infer that ______.
A. the Englishman left China without seeing the Great Wall
B. the Englishman wanted to see the Great Wall as soon as possible
C. the Englishman wanted me to act as his guide
D. the Englishman visited the Great Wall and thought it worth visiting
56. After the Englishman explained the idiom, ________.
A. I thought the Englishman had fooled me
B. The Englishman became angry
C. I felt very silly
D. I became more careful in everything

College libraries are designed primarily for research and study. To explain its use, let us choose a research topic and follow the step-by-step procedure of looking up the material for the paper. Suppose your assignment is to write a paper on a novel called "The Sun Also Rises" by American writer Hemingway. The first step is to go to the main catalog. Many small drawers on the large wooden cabinets are lined up in alphabetical(字母的) order. Each of the drawers contains hundreds of alphabetical ordered cards. These cards are printed references to all materials available in the library. Title cards are cataloged by the first word of the book title, leaving out the articles like "a", "an" and "the". And then you get the cards for the books you need. On the upper left corner of each card is the call number. This is the numerical code that shows where the book is located in the library. The library has open and closed stacks. If your book is on the open stacks, you can go to the open-stack room, and according to the call number find it out by yourself. There are only about 30,000 books on open stacks, while most of the 800,000 books in our library are kept in closed stacks, which are accessible only to teachers and graduate students. For undergraduates like you, borrowing books from the closed stacks have to be done with the help of our librarian. In that case, you must fill out a call slip( 纸条) for the book, showing the call number, author and title. You can get call slips on tables near the catalog cabinets. You show your call slip together with your library card to a librarian at the information desk. He or she will help you find the book out in the closed stacks.
57. What is the main purpose of this text?
A. To present readers a brief introduction to a college library.
B. To guide readers how to find books needed in a college library.
C. To tell readers how to fill out a call slip in a college library.
D. To show readers where to find books in a college library.
58. What letter you should look for on the title card for the book "The Old Man and the Sea" by Hemingway?
A. The letter "t". B. The letter "h". C. The letter "s". D. The letter "o".
59. How are books arranged and shelved in the library?
A. By call numbers. B. By call slips of authors' names.
C. In alphabetical order. D. By the first word of book title.
60. Suppose you are an undergraduate and you want to borrow a book from the closed stacks, which is the correct order to do it?
a) go to the main catalog
b) show your call slip and library card
c) find out the call number
d) fill out a call slip
e) get the cards for the book
A. a-b-e-d-c B. a-e-c-d-b C. b-a-c-d-e D. b-c-a-e-d
第二节、阅读下列材料， 从所给的六个选项（A,B,C,D,E,F）中，选出符合各小题要求的最佳选项。选项中有一项是多余选项。
The following people are expressing their thoughts (61---65) to show their concern for food, environment and so on. After that are pieces of related information (A---F).Now decide which piece of information would be most suitable for the thought and idea mentioned in questions 61---65 and mark your answer letter (A---F) on your answer sheet. There is one extra paragraph which you do not need to use.
61. How I was struck by the clear water and fresh air in my childhood! But everything has changed, that is, the clear water and fresh air are nowhere to be found again as they were. Above all, a great deal of waste hardly rots away.
62. More and more people are beginning to have a good knowledge of the importance of a safer and cleaner environment, which in turn forces the business to be cleaned up.
63. Organic products are getting more and more popular among people, but we should know the fact that organic products might also have something to do with pesticides.
64. I’m very much fond of growing some vegetables of my own in my small garden, for many vegetables on sale in markets are actually becoming more and more dangerous as a result of widespread pesticides.
65. Nowadays, it is very convenient for consumers to find and buy green food in supermarkets as they are clearly marked.
A. “Organic produce is always better,” Gold said. “The food is free of pesticides(农药), and you are generally supporting family farms instead of large farms. And more often than not it is locally grown and seasonal, so it is more tasty.” Gold is one of a growing number of shoppers buying into the organic trend, and supermarkets across Britain are counting on more like him as they grow their organic food business.
B. Market research shows that Gold and others who buy organic food can generally give clear reasons for their preferences---but their knowledge of organic food is far from complete. For example, small amount of pesticides can be used on organic products. And about three quarters of organic food in Britain is not local but imported to meet growing demand. “The demand for organic food is increasing by about one third every year, so it is a very fast---growing market,” said Sue Flock, a specialist in this line of business.
C. Many cities around the world today are heavily polluted. Careless methods of production and lack of consumer demand for environment-friendly products have contributed to the pollution problem. One result is that millions of tons of glass, paper, plastic, and metal contains are produced, and these are difficult to get rid of.
D. However, today, more and more consumers are choosing “green” and demanding that the products they buy should be safe for the environment. Before they buy a product, they ask questions like these: ”Will this shampoo damage the environment?” “Can this metal container be reused or can it only be used once?”
E. Only a few years ago, it was impossible to find green products in supermarkets, but now there are hundreds. Some supermarket products carry labels(标签) to show that the product is green. Some companies have made the manufacturing(制造) of clean and safe products their main selling point and emphasize it in their advertising.
F. The concern for a safer and cleaner environment is making companies rethink how they do business. No longer will the public accept the old attitude of “Buy it, use it, throw it away, and forget it.” The public pressure is on, and gradually business is cleaning up its act.
