    第三部分：阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
    阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
    One of today’s hottest topics among women (and to an extent among men too now) is anti aging and how to reverse the signs of age. The beauty industry has responded to this by offering a wide collection of anti aging creams and other anti aging products aimed at all pocketbooks, ranging from economical to highly priced.
    And the question is “do any of these often much-vaunted(被过度吹嘘的) anti aging creams actually work?” And if they do, how precisely do they perform their miracles?
    Well, the appropriate response to that is that they do work—after a fashion. There certainly are anti aging creams available for a relatively modest price that will reduce the appearance of wrinkles in a comparatively short period of regular application. But this really is the limit of their powers: they won’t actually undo skin damage or eradicate(根除) all signs of age; they will simply modify them, some more effectively than others.
    The way they work is like so: they remove upper layers of dead skin cells and make deeper layers absorb water, serving to plump them up and make them look fuller and healthier. But since such anti aging creams only go skin deep, as it were, skin damage will reappear once you stop using the anti aging wrinkle(皱纹) cream.
    This means fairly heavy regular use, which might be costly depending on your choice of product. However, if you can afford it or think it’s worth the cost, it won’t be such an issue. After all, what woman wants to look older than her years when looking good is so tied up with many women's self-esteem(自尊) and sense of identity.
    A compromise(折中) solution for those on a tighter budget is to use the cheaper creams. In addition, it’s always wise to be a little experimental to make sure you end up with the one that suits your skin best.
    So, to sum up: an anti wrinkle face cream will work within limits, depending on your objective.
    41.   This passage mainly tells us something about _____.
    A. anti aging creams                         B. anti aging foods
    C. anti wrinkle face                          D. anti wrinkle skin
    42.   According to the author, we can infer _____.
    A. anti aging creams must reverse the signs of age
    B. skin damage must not reappear after using creams
    C. anti aging creams should be properly used
    D. skin damage will disappear forever after using creams
    43.   The benefits from anti aging creams are the following except that _____.
    A. they remove upper layers of dead skin cells
    B. they make deeper layers absorb water
    C. they make layers look fuller and healthier
    D. they make wrinkle faces rough
    44.   The meaning of the underlined phrase “on a tighter budget” is _____.
    A. having a larger amount of money
    B. having a smaller amount of money
    C. having no money at all
    D. having a lot of money
    45.   Fairly heavy regular use will make you _____.
    A. spend much money on your choice of product
    B. easily afford your choice of product
    C. think your choice of product wrong
    D. believe your choice of product right

    In William Shakespeare’s play, Julius Caesar, there is major difference between two of the characters, Brutus and Mark Antony, Brutus was very honorable and Antony was very persuasive. When Brutus spoke at Caesar’s funeral, he appealed to the people’s logic and Antony spoke to the emotions of the people. Antony was very smart and used his brain frequently during the play and Brutus was very naive(天真的，率直的) about many of things.
    Brutus was very honorable in the way that he always told people the truth. Antony was persuasive in the way that he used people to get whatever he wanted. For example, Antony used Lepidus to seek revenge on all of the conspirators (同谋者，阴谋者) to take the blame for their deaths. Brutus’ speech at Caesar’s funeral was very short and to the point and spoke to the logic of the people in the crowd. For example, Brutus spoke in a detached way about Caesar’s death while Antony spoke to the emotions of the crowd by crying and talking about all the good things that Caesar did for Rome. Antony’s intelligence was very apparent throughout the play and Brutus appeared to be naive about many things. Antony as smart in the way that he controlled people to his own advantage. Brutus appeared to be naive throughout the whole play because he believed everyone was as honorable as he. Brutus did not question what he was told, assuming it was always true.

    The purpose of communication is to get your message across to others. This is a process that involves both the sender of the message and the receiver. This process leaves room for error, with messages often being misunderstood by one or more of the parties involved. This causes unnecessary confusion.
    In fact, a message is successful only when both the sender and the receiver perceive (感知) it in the same way. By successfully getting your message across, you convey your thoughts and ideas effectively. When not successful, the thoughts and ideas that you convey do not necessarily reflect your own, causing a communication breakdown and creating roadblocks that stand in the way of your goals — both personally and professionally.
    In a recent survey of recruiters (招募者) in companies with more than 50,000 employees, communication skills were cited as the single more important factor in choosing managers. The survey, conducted by the University of Pittsburgh’s Katz Business School, points out that communication skills, including written and oral presentations, as well as an ability to work with others, are the main factors leading to job success.
    In spite of the increasing importance placed on communication skills, many individuals continue to struggle with this, unable to communicate their thoughts and ideas effectively — whether in oral or written form. This inability（无能） makes it nearly impossible for them to compete effectively in the workplace, and stands in the way of career progression. Getting your message across is essential to progressing. To do this, you must understand what your message is, what audience you are sending it to, and how it will be perceived. You must also weigh-in the circumstances surrounding your communication, such as situational and cultural context.
    47. The underlined word “This” in the first paragraph refers to ______.
    A. the purpose of communication
    B. the process of getting your message across to others
    C. the process of letting others know your purpose 
    D. the cause of unnecessary confusion
    48. A communication failure occurs when ______.
    A. the sender and the receiver understand the message in the same way
    B. the receiver purposely understands the message wrong
    C. the way you send the message creates problems with the receiver
    D. the sender creates problems in a professional way
    49. _______ make for job success.
    A. Communication skills and ability to cooperate
    B. Communication skills along with written presentations
    C. Written presentations together with ability to work with others
    D. The abilities to cooperate with others
    50. What is the attitude of the writer towards the communication skills?
    A. Neutral.      B. Opponent.     C. Supportive.       D. Indifferent.

    Vancouver ended its time hosting the 2010 Olympic games on a light-hearted note, with a closing ceremony that featured floating moose, dancing Mounties and gigantic cut-out hockey players wearing the gold medals Team Canada had won hours before.
    The upbeat ending was in stark contrast to the grim beginning of these games, which were marred by protests, the death of a Georgian luger, and then by unseasonably warm weather that left organizers postponing events and trucking in snow on Cypress Mountain.
    ``You took on a stubborn mountain with all your might,'' said Vancouver Organizing Committee CEO John Furlong, lauding the games' blue-garbed staff in a speech during the ceremony. ``The final result: Blue Jackets 1; Cypress Mountain weather zero.''

    Throughout our childhood our parents taught us to say “thank you” and it has become a habit — something we say automatically (自动地), along with “please”. And because of this we have forgotten just how important gratitude is and how essential it is in leading fulfilled (感到满足的) lives.
    Just for a minute, think of all the things you are grateful for, such as loving friends, good health, great holidays as well as everyday items such as a comfortable home, TV, and clean water. The list, in fact, could go on and on.
    Now focus on events that have made you angry — it’s raining, the car won’t start, and a colleague (同事) makes you annoyed. You start to feel unhappy, and that is something that certainly does not make you feel good！
    In fact, we have the ability to choose how we feel — it’s just our perception (认识) of how things are. But for most of us, it just doesn’t seem easy.
    Let me give you an example: it’s a rainy day, and immediately most people will start to complain, telling everyone who will listen what a miserable day it is, with the result that they end up feeling miserable themselves. But look at it another way and despite wet clothes and hair, both will dry perfectly well and no lasting harm has been done. And in addition to this, because of rain, we not only live in a green and beautiful landscape, we are also able to grow a lot of fruit and vegetables.
    There really is no obvious reason for feeling miserable — in fact there is a great deal to be grateful for. It all depends on what we think about things.
    Realize what a difference having gratitude can make to your life. That’s why gratitude is so special — use it to feel good!
    68. What do we usually do automatically according to the author?
    A. Focus on good things.                                  B. Prefer to feel good.
    C. Express thanks orally.                                  D. Take many things for granted.
    69. By the example in the fifth paragraph, the author advises us to _____.
    A. see things in a different way                          B. refuse the unchangeable things
    C. ignore the harm bad weather does                  D. listen to others’ complaints patiently
    70. By writing the passage, the author mainly wants to tell us _____.
    A. to think twice before we act                         
    B. to be grateful for what we have
    C. it is no use making complaints                      
    D. saying “thank you” has many disadvantages

    Every family with kids has seen its share of arguments, shouting and complaining. It turns out that all those conflicts serve an important purpose in the development of children . Saying “no” followed by a bad temper, just may be an unavoidable part of growing up. And that’s a good thing. These are the first steps toward independence. Even young children have to challenge their parents sometimes. Studies have shown the following:
    ·Although stressful, conflicts are beneficial for children.
    ·Learning to manage conflicts is necessary for a child’s development.
    ·Conflicts during the preschool years occur because children desire even more attention than parents can or should give.
    If you understand why conflicts occur, it can minimize the conflicts between you and your children. Conflict is a child’s attempt to develop a sense of self and how he or she learns to express his or her needs and ideas. Parents develop and drive this independence by putting children to the outside world both formally and informally.
    Conflicts can grow out of a difference of opinion or might just be a way to blow off steam(发脾气) . In rare situations, constant conflicts between parents and children can indicate a deeper emotional problem. Consult your doctor if this seems to be your situation.
    It’s important to offer your child choices, which should be determined by age and developmental level. The more responsible a child is, the more choices he or she gets in reward. You can threaten your child with punishment, but often offering a choice will better improve angry situations. Consequences and rewards should have some meaning to your child.
    Often a child’s adverse(敌对的)reaction when he or she hears the word “no” can be avoided by giving the child an explanation as to why you have refused his or her request.
    60. Why does the author think conflicts are good?
    A. It’s a sign that children are trying to be independent.
    B. Children can learn to control the bad temper.
    C. This can develop a better way of communication.
    D. It can improve the relationship between parents and children.
    61. A 3-year-old boy challenges his parents angrily, according to studies, because he may          ,
    A. feel being ignored by his parents.
    B. get tired of being looked after by his parents.
    C. want to stay with his parents at any time.
    D. be blamed by his parents for his faults.
    62. In most cases , the conflicts between parents and their children      .
    A. lead to more misunderstandings                       B. don’t hurt feelings
    C. are highly valued by parents                                 D. involve visiting doctors
    63. What can be concluded from the passage?
    A. Children understand what their parents think of clearly.
    B. Children enjoy giving their opinions by conflicting with their parents.
    C. Most parents would rather punish their children than reward them.
    D. Communication can reduce conflicts between parents and children.
