Three packs of cigarettes were lying there on the pavement. I went down from Shubentsov’s office doorstep, picked them u p and pocketed them. Later, in a bar, when I opened the first pack, I found – to my 36 – the twenty cigarettes were ther e.
I’m still at the bar, telephone in one 37 and the cigarettes i n the other. I’m dialing Shubentsov, who told me to call the m oment I felt the urge to 38 . I feel it, feel it even 39 than
I felt Shubentsov’s healing energy. That’s saying something, since Shubentsov is known around the world for 40 smoke rs of their nasty habit, using a 41 method. He sent his heali ng energy from his fingertips, he tells me – something he pick ed up from another man in . “I help you for free,” he told me in his muddy accent. “Just call me 42 .”
I went to see Shubentsov. I think it’s time to 43 because I’m getting old, and I can’t keep doing this to myself. But here’s the real problem. I should quit, but like a lot of you 44 wit h the same habit, I really don’t want to.
Smoking has been very good to me. Cigarettes have never let me down,
never abandoned me on 45 , desperate nights. Smoking 4 6 my head, helps me 47 . Smoking has started conversati ons, driven away annoying people. Smoking helps me celebra te victories, get over losses, comfort the comfortless. It also c hases away the mosquitoes.
I will 48 . Soon, my body and my mind are demanding that , daily.
I claim to smoke for pleasure, but I realise that slowly I’m losin g control of this close, special friend. I 49 that. I realise it’s not just a “habit”.I’m 50 .
So here I am, attempting to 51 again, at Shubentsov’s pla
ce. I’ve tried all the other quitting techniques 52 . Anytime t he urge to smoke 53 , he said, just call him immediately an d he’ll help. The funny thing is, I realise that I’m not phoning hi m to stop me from lighting up. I’m phoning him so I can. If I ca ll, I’ll have done my part. Then I can smoke this cigarette. Besi des, I know that at 9.30 on a Friday night, I’ll get the answerin g machine. I do. “The office is open from ten to four. Call me b ack then. This machine does not take messages.”
I put the phone down and I can honestly say I’m 54 . You s ee, it’s not Shubentsov’s fault or anyone else’s fault that I’m st ill 55 . It’s mine.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to smoke this cigarette. Wh ether I’ll really enjoy it, though, is another story.

第三部分阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)
请认真阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的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。

A
Seeing in Stereo
Have you wondered why you have two eyes and why they ar e set close together on the front of your face? The reasons ar e simple and important to the way you see the rest of your wo rld．
Your eyes are like two small cameras. A camera catches a n image of an object and records it on film．Similarly，
when you look at something，
each eye takes in what it sees and sends this image to the ba
ck of the eyeball．Because your eyes are set close together ，
they view the world from about the same height but from sligh tly different angles. Working as a team, the eyes send the ima ges to your brain, which puts them together into a single, cent ered image.
Seeing in stereo means seeing with two eyes working toget her，
which is called stereoscopic sight．This allows you to view th e world in three dimensions，or 3-
D．Seeing depth helps you to judge the distance between yo u and the objects you see and to adjust to the changing angle at which you see something as you move closer to or farther away from it．If images are coming from only one eye, howev er，only two of these dimensions-height and width-
can be perceived．A world seen with one eye is thus two-dimensional，as in a photograph．
Now consider why your two eyes are on the front of your fa ce．Think of other animals with this same arrangement．The y are all animals that hunt，
like lions and wolves．Their eyes face directly in front of them ．This provides a field of sight about 180 degrees wide，which is called binocular sight．On the other hand，
animals that are hunted have eyes on the sides of the head，which provides nearly 360-
degree field of sight．In order to stay alive，
they need to see things coming from the sides and from behin d．However，without stereoscopic sight，
they have difficulty determining how far a danger is．
With sight both stereoscopic and binocular，
humans share with animal hunters the ability to see from side to side and to accurately determine the distance．If you think it would be great to have another type of sight，
perhaps with hundreds of tiny eyes like many insects do，think again! Each tiny insect eye sees only a tiny part．Besid es，
what if you needed glasses? Be glad for the eyesight that yo u have．
56. According to the passage，
an eye is like a camera because both
A. can record images
B. can imagine objects
C. provide centered images
D. work at the same height
57. Stereoscopic sight is a result of having
A. a three-hundred-sixty-
degree field of sight B. hundreds of eyes，
all seeing parts of an image
C. two eyes close to one another that work together
D. one eye on either side of the head，
each seeing a different image
58．The author implies that “seeing in stereo”
A．is similar to the way cameras work B．is an ability hu mans are fortunate to have
C．would be better for a wider field of sight D．helps people t o have better sight than animals
B
Computer games have been criticised for quite some time ove r a whole range of issues. Some people say they are overly vi olent and encourage violent behaviour particularly in children. Others say that they make children unsociable and are bad fo r their eyes. Some have even attributed falling standards of lit eracy and a lack of interest in reading on them. Now, however , it seems that computer games have also become a feminist i ssue.
Game manufacturers have, for some time, been looking to inc rease the number of female game players. The vast majority of computer games still sell to a mainly male market. Perhaps this is because the violent nature of many of the games appe als more to males or perhaps because many of the main char
acters in the games are male. Manufacturers' attempts to pro duce more female characters increase their share of the fema le gaming market which has met with serious criticism from m any women's groups.
While heroines such as Lara Croft of the Tomb Raider game are seen as providing positive role models of strong women, many believe that the character's unrealistic Barbies are subc onsciously setting unattainable standards in the minds of you ng women. Perhaps a stronger criticism is that although many games now include female characters, their role is often seco ndary and they support the main, male, action characters with in the games. Of course the nature of many of the games rem ains violent and destructive and this in itself could well continu e to put off female gamers.
There are now, however, a number of web sites springing up on the World Wide Web to help women deal with this issue. Si tes such as Game Girlz, Women Gamers and Game Gal offer game reviews, articles, discussion forums and even employm ent opportunities for women interested in becoming part of the rapidly expanding games industry. The games are reviewed by women from a very female perspective. Some rate the ga mes from one to ten across a range of criteria which include t he appearance of the female characters, the degree of intellig
ence attributed to them in the game and even the marketing a ttitude adopted by the company. The sites are obviously looki ng for games that move away from the very male dominated a nd violent nature of the majority of computer games. Many of t hem review games that are more constructive and developme ntal. Although the common fantasy themes of knights, witches and goblins（妖
精） still exist within these games, the aims are often very diff erent. Instead of destroying opposing armies，
the aim of the game can be to make peace with them.
With this increased degree of awareness and involvement fro m women in the games industry many positive changes could be made that could encourage more women and young girls t o become enthusiastic about technology. Perhaps we may ev en find more male gamers moving away from the traditional vi olent and destructive games towards the more positive values promoted by these more feminine role models, after all Tomb Raider is still one of the most popular computer games on th
e market, but perhaps that's too much to ask.
59. What is paragraph 1 mainly about ?
A. The violence in computer games.
B. Common criticis ms of computer games.
C. Children’s feeling in computer games.
D. The computer
issues.
60. Manufacturers want to produce more female characters in order to _______.
A. increase sales in the male market
B. help women learn how to play computer games
C. encourage more women to buy computer games
D. increase the number of male game players
61. From the passage we know that Tomb Raider is _______.
A. a film which provides positive role models of strong wom en
B. a site which helps women to deal with many issues
C. a female role which is secondary in many games
D. a computer game which is very popular on the market
62.Which would be the best title for the passage ?
A. Girls’ Games
B. Computer Games
C. Children’s Game s
D. Games Industry

Hungry For a Win
A victor is, by definition, someone who wins a struggle or cont est. However, that doesn’t mean he or she will live a proud an d happy life ever after, as Katniss Everdeen is about to discov
er in The Hunger Games: Catching Fire.
Catching Fire, out in Chinese theaters on Nov 21, is set in a f uturistic society called Panem. Every year its government hol ds a televised fight to the death. Two teenagers from each of t he 12 districts of Panem are chosen to compete.
In the new film, last year’s victors Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence) and her partner Peeta are back home after winning the 74th Hunger Games. Katniss just wants to live a normal life. Howe ver, that never seems to happen. She has nightmares, which remind her that she is a killer.
Her worst nightmare comes true when the annual Hunger
Games arrive again. The teenager finds herself back in the c ompetition along with Peeta. Since Katniss brings hope to Pa nem through her courage, President Snow plans to use this y ear’s Games to kill off Katniss and Peeta and in turn dampen t he fires of rebellion.
“This is the next step of Katniss’ heroism and the next part of her journey to finding out who she is really going to be,” told Reuters.
Fast-
paced and full of action, Catching Fire looks to outdo the succ ess that the first film had in 2012. With a 97 percent rating on the movie review website Rotten Tomatoes, it is enjoying posi
tive reviews. Critics have praised it for being faithful to the boo k written by American author Suzanne Collins. The Hollywood Reporter said that Catching Fire outshines the first movie a lo t.
Jennifer Lawrence, who won a best actress Oscar this year fo r her 2012 movie Silver Linings Playbook, has helped Catchin g Fire find success, Forbes pointed out. The 23-year-
old actress does well playing a young lady who hates what sh e was forced to do to stay alive yet is determined not to give u p.
“’s down-to-
earth personality in real life won the hearts of the public. So gi ven a wildly popular first film that blew everyone away, a risin g fan base and a lead performer beloved by the mainstream p ress and viewers, the sequel(续
集) was always going to be big,” Forbes noted.
63. The underlined word “dampen” in Paragraph 4 is closest i n meaning to “_______”.
A. hold
B. light
C. reduce
D. support
64. Which of the following is TRUE about the film’s story acco rding to the article?
A. Every year 12 teenagers in total are chosen to join in the te levised fight.
B. Despite having won the 74th Hunger Games, Katniss does n’t feel much joy.
C. Katniss and Peeta are chosen once again to make the TV show more appealing.
D. Jennifer Lawrence won a best actress Oscar this year for t he first Hunger Games movie.
65. What are some reasons why Catching Fire will probably b
e successful?
a. The previous film was successful.
b. It is true to the original book’s story.
c. Most of the reviews of the movie are positive.
d. It has many famous stars in addition to Jennifer Lawrenc
e.
A. abc
B. abd
C. acd
D. bcd
66. After reading the passage, we can infer that _______.
A. President Snow thinks highly of Katniss and Peeta’s victory

C. Critics hold a negative attitude to the first movie of Hunger Games
D. The personality of the leading actress contributes to the su
ccess of Catching Fire

The statistics I’ve cited and the living examples are all too fam iliar to you. But what may not be so familiar will be the increas ing number of women who are looking actively for advanceme nt of for a new job in your offices. This woman may be equipp ed with professional skills and perhaps valuable experience. She will not be content to be Executive Assistant to Mr. Seldo m Seen of the Assistant Vice Presi dent’s Girl Friday, who is th e only one who comes in on Saturday.
She is the symbol of what I call the Second Wave of Femin ism. She is the modern woman who is determined to be.
Her forerunner was the radical feminist who interpreted her trapped position as a female as oppression by the master cla ss of men. Men, she believed, had created a domestic, servile role for women in order that men could have the career and t he opportunity to participate in making the great decisions of s ociety. Thus the radical feminist held that women through hist ory had been oppressed and dehumanized, mainly because man chose to exploit his wife and the mother of his children. S ometimes it was deliberate exploitation and sometimes it was the innocence of never looking beneath the pretensions of life .
The radical feminists found strength in banding together. C oming to recognize each other for the first time, they could ex plore their own identities, realize their own power, and view th e male and his system as the common enemy. The first phas es of feminism in the last five years often took on this militant, class-
warfare tone. Betty Friedan, Gloria Steinem, Germaine Greer, and many others hammered home their ideas with a persiste nce that aroused and intrigued many of the brightest and mos t able women in the country. Consciousness-
raising groups allowed women to explore both their identities and their dreams—
and the two were often found in direct conflict.
What is the stereotyped role of American women? Marriag e. A son. Two daughters. Breakfast. Ironing. Lunch. Bowling, maybe a garden club of for the very daring, non-
credit courses in ceramics. Perhaps an occasional cocktail pa rty. Dinner. Football or baseball on TV. Each day the same. N ever any growth in expectations—unless it is gro
wth because the husband has succeeded. The inevitable que stion: “Is that all there is to life?”
The rapid growth of many feminist organizations attests to the fact that these radical feminists had touched some vital nerve
s. The magazine “Ms.” was born in the year of the death of th e magazine “Life.” But too often the consciousness-
raising sessions became ends in themselves. Too often sexis m reversed itself and man-
hating was encouraged. Many had been with the male chauvi nist.
It is not difficult, therefore, to detect a trend toward moderatio n. Consciousness-
raising increasingly is regarded as a means to independence and fulfillment, rather than a ceremony of fulfillment itself. Gen uine independence can be realized through competence, thro ugh finding a career, through the use of education. Remembe r that for many decades the education of women was not sup posed to be useful.
67. What was the main idea of this passage?
A. The Second Wave of Feminist.
B. Women’s Indep endent Spirits.
C. The Unity of Women.
D. The Action of U nion.
68. What was the author’s attitude toward the radical?
A. He supported it wholeheartedly.
B. He opposed it strongly.
C. He disapproved to some extent.
D. He ignored it c ompletely.
69. What does the word “militant” mean?
A. Aggressive.
B. Ambitions.
C. Progressive.
D. Indepen dent.
70. What was the radical feminist’s view point about the male ?
A. Women were exploited by the male.
B. Women were independent of the male.
C. Women’s lives were deprived by the male.
D. The male were their common enemy.

The back-to-
school season is upon us, and once again, parents across the
country have loaded their kids’ backpacks up with snack pac ks and school supplies. It’s a good moment to reflect on what else we should be giving our kids as they head off to school. American pare
nts are feeling particularly anxious about that question this ye ar. The educational process feels more than ever like a race, one that starts in pre-
school and doesn’t end until your child is admitted to the perfe ct college. Most parents are more worried than they need to b e about their children’s grades, test scores and IQ. And what we don’t think about enough is how to help our children build t heir character—
how to help them develop skills like perseverance, optimism, r esponsibility, and self-
control, which together do more to determine success than S.
A.T. scores or I.Q.
There is growing evidence that our anxiety about our children’s school performance may actually be holding them back from le
arning some of these valuable skills. If you’re concerned only with a child’s G.P.A., then you will likely choose to minimize th e challenges the child faces in school. With real challenge co mes the risk of real failure. And in a competitive academic env
ironment, the idea of failure can be very scary, to students an d parents alike.
But experiencing failure is a critical part of building character. Recent research by a team of psychologists found that adults who had experienced little or no failure growing up were actua lly less happy and confident than those who had experienced a few significant setbacks in childhood. “Overcoming those ob stacles,” the researchers assumed, “could teach effective copi ng skills, help engage social support networks, create a sense of mastery over past adversity, and foster beliefs in the ability to cope successfully in the future.”
By contrast, when we protect our children from every possible failure—
when we call their teachers to get an extension on a paper; w hen we urge them to choo
se only those subjects they’re good at—
we are denying them those same character-
building experiences. As the psychologists Madeline Levine a nd Dan Kindlon have written, that can lead to difficulties in ad olescence and young adulthood, when overprotected young p eople finally confront real problems on their own and don’t kn ow how to overcome them.
In the classroom and outside of it, American parents need to
encourage children to take chances, to challenge themselves, to risk failure. In the meantime, giving our kids room to fail m ay be one of the best ways we can help them succeed.
☺Parents throughout (71) ▲ their kids’

James Bender, in his book How to Talk Well tells the story of a farmer who grew award-
winning corn. Each year he won a blue ribbon. One year a ne wspaper reporter interviewed him and learned something inter esting about how he grew it.
The reporter discovered that the farmer shared his seed corn with his neighbors. “How can you afford to share your best se ed corn with your neighbors when they are entering corn in co
mpetition with yours each year?” The reporter asked. “Why,” s aid the farmer, “didn’t you know? The wind picks up pollen(花粉) from the ripening corn and carries it from field to field. If m y neighbors grow bad corn, cross-pollination(异花受
粉) will slowly reduce the quality of my corn. If I am to grow go od corn, I must help my neighbors grow good corn. ”
He is very much aware of the connectedness of life. His corn cannot improve unless his neighbors’ corn also improves. The lesson for each of us is this: If we are to grow good corn, we must help our neighbors grow good corn.
