In the parking lot of the shopping center, I started to walk 28 the path of a car that was
approaching rapidly. I stopped, 29 a couple of steps back and looked at the 30 to indicate that I was not attempting to be 31 . She brought her car to a stop, 32 to me to cross, and smiled. It seemed so simple. It was in that 33 of receiving her smile that something magical happened. My 34 immediately lifted and all traces of the blue, depressed and down feeling disappeared. I 35 with a smile of my own. It was the least I could do for this 36 stranger, who had brought me out of a miserable time with a mere flash of a 37 .
I’m sure that thi s lady who smiles freely without giving it a second 38 has no idea of the 39 she made in that second. 40 her, you never know how you may be positively changing something for someone else. So, keep smiling!

第二部分阅读理解（共25小题。

第一节每小题2分，第二节每小题1分；满分45分）
第一节阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A
It was midnight in Paris and we were rolling toward the Avenue Bosguet. As we came to the Pont Alexander III, the cab slowed down, for the traffic light was red against us, and then, without stopping, we sailed through the red light in a sudden burst of speed. The same performance was repeated at the Alma Bridge. As I paid the driver, I asked him why he had driven through two red lights.
“You ought to be ashamed of yourself, breaking the law and endangering your life that way,” I said angrily.
He looked at me, astonished. “Ashamed of myself? I am a law-abiding(遵纪守法的) citizen and have no desire to get killed either.” He cut me off before I could protest.
“No, just listen to me before you complain. What did I do? Went through a red light. Well did you
ever stop to consider what a red light is, what it means?”
“Certainly,” I replied. “It is a stop signal and means that traffic is falling in the opposite direction.”“Half-right,” said the driver, “but incomplete. It is only an automatic signal. And it does not mean that there is cross traffic. Did you see any cross traffic during our trip? Of course not. I slowed down at the light, looked carefully to the right and to the left. Not another car on streets at this hour. Well, then! What would you have me do? Should I stop like a dumb animal because an automatic, brainless machine turns red every forty seconds? No, monsieur (先生),” he thundered, hitting the door with a huge fist. “I am a man, not a machine. I have eyes and a brain and judgement, given by God. It would be a sin(罪恶) against nature to surrender (使屈服) them to the orders of a machine. Ashamed of myself, you say I would only be ashamed of myself if I let those blinking lamps do my thinking for me. Good night, monsieur.”
Is this bad, or is this good? Frankly I am no longer sure. I never doubted that it was wrong to drive through a red light, but now I find my old Anglo-Saxon standards somewhat shaken.
41. At the Alma Bridge____________.
A. the writer stopped the cab and paid the driver
B. the cab went through a red light again
C. there was a performance the writer had already watched
D. the writer began to scold the driver
42. The main reason that the driver dared to drive through the red light was that ______.
A. he found there was no cross traffic there and then
B. he thought it a shame to be controlled by a machine
C. he knew no others would see him at this hour
D. he didn’t trust any brainless machine
43. According to the passage, the driver thought what he had done as ________.
A. brave behavior
B. a law-breaking action
C. something to be proud of
D. something to be ashamed of
44. The writer is probably__________.
A. an old man
B. a French person
C. an English person
D. a Japanese gentleman

Teen Dating can be fun if you are aware of its pros and cons and are also aware of the ways to protect yourself. There are a couple of suggestions you would like to know before you are out for dating.
Do not go out for dating with somebody whom you have seen only a few times and not known much about.
Before leaving for a date, know the exact plans for the evening and make sure a parent or a friend knows these plans and what time to expect you home. Let your date know that you are expected to call or tell that person when you get in.
Similarly, if you leave a party with someone you do not know well, make sure you tell another person you are leaving and with whom. Ask a friend to call and make sure you arrive home safely. No matter how good the person appears to you, trust your inner instincts (直觉). If a situation makes you uncomfortable, try to stay calm and think of a way to remove yourself from the situation without letting your date realize what is going on in your mind.
Be aware of your decreased ability to react under the influence of alcohol or drugs and keep yourself
in control when out for a date.
Always stay firm, straightforward and clear in your relationships, thoughts, decisions and judgments. Never let a doubt come to your mind or face when out for dating. If you are firm and clear in your communication, your date will always be careful in dealing with you.
You should think ahead about ways to be safe if you are in a dangerous or potentially(潜在的) dangerous relationship. Adults, like parents, teachers, counselors, can be trusted in such cases.
45. Which of the following is forbidden when dating according to the passage?
A. Going out for dating with a stranger.
B. Knowing the plan for the evening.
C. Telling your parents about the date.
D. Telling the person you date that your parents know about the date.
46. The underlined word “date” in the third paragraph might mean_________.
A. a time
B. a plan
C. a person
D. a place
47. If you feel uncomfortable, you should NOT ________.
A. leave as soon as possible
B. tell your date what you are thinking
C. stay calm
D. trust yourself
48. The best title for this passage might be _________.
A. Be careful with your friends
B. Never go out dating
C. Safety measures for teen dating
D. Dating out is always dangerous
C

THANK-you cards—heartfelt expressions of gratitude for gifts, services and general kindness—seem to be rare in an age when the Internet continues to reduce human touch.
Although our society has changed greatly over the past century, the etiquette of thank-you notes has not.
While most people would agree that thank-you notes under these conditions are a necessity, there are still those who forever delay or are forgetful for unknown reasons.
And at no time of the year are thank-you notes more visible (or lacking) than June, the month of graduations, and the beginning of summer parties.
“It’s a must-do thing. A real ‘thank you’ does not come by e-mail. It comes in the mail in an envelope. And what comes out of an envelope is a beautiful thing to touch and to handle and to pass around for everyone to read,” said etiquette expert Letitia Baldrige.
Don’t think for a second that Baldrige is old-fashioned. Handwritten thank-you notes—any handwritten letter, for that matter—have taken on an air of extra importance in this e-hyper (电子狂躁的) world.
Baldrige remains hopeful that the art may be enjoying a renaissance (复兴).
More than simply obeying rules of etiquette, thank-you cards are a sign of caring.
“They’re more important now than ever,”expert Peter Post says. “You are building a relationship. And part of building that relationship is that you recognize it when someone has done something nice for you.”
“The payoff,” Post says, “can be huge. The more we do it, the more it comes back to us, and it’s a benefit to us all. It makes our world a little bit nicer place to live in.”
53. Nowadays thank-you cards seem to be rare mainly because__________.
A. people think that they are out of fashion
B. it is quicker to say thanks by e-mail
C. the Internet has reduced our chances of getting together
D. people are too busy to remember these things
54. From the context, the underlined word “etiquette” in the second paragraph probably means _______.
A. old objects for sale
B. rules for people to obey
C. hand-made articles
D. customs for polite behavior
55. The author implies in this article that________.
A. old-fashioned people take a negative attitude to e-mails
B. the changing society is making people impolite and lazy
C. modern technology is driving people apart
D. the e-hyper world is not a nice place to live in
56. What is the author’s main purpose of writing this article?
A. To remind people to express heartfelt thanks.
B. To criticize people’s forgetfulne ss.
C. To suggest building a new relationship.
D. To emphasize the importance of e-mail.

Educating girls quite possibly brings in a higher rate of return than any other investment available in the developing world. Women education may be an unusual field for economists, but increasing women’s contribution to development is actually as much an economic as a social issue. And economics provides guideposts that point to an explanation for why so many girls are deprived(被剥夺) of an education.
Parents in low-income countries fail to invest in their daughters because they do not expect them to make an economic contribution to the family: girls grow up only to marry into somebody else’s family and bear children. Girls are thus seen as less valuable than boys and are kept at home to do housework while their brothers are sent to school—the prophecy (预言) becomes self-fulfilling, trapping women in a bad circle of neglect.
An educated mother, on the other hand, has greater earning abilities outside the home and faces an entirely different set of choices. She is likely to have fewer but healthier children and can insist on the development of all her children, ensuring that her daughters are given a fair chance. The education of her daughters then makes it much more likely that the next generation of girls, as well as of boys, will be educated and healthy. The bad circle is thus transformed into a good one.
Few will question that educating women has great social benefits. But it has enormous economic advantages as well. Most obviously, there is the direct effect of education on the wages of female workers. Wages rise by 10 to 20 percent for each additional year of schooling. Such big returns are impressive by the standard of other available investments, but they are just the beginning. Educating women also has a significant influence on health practices, including family planning.
57. By saying the prophecy (预言) becomes self-fulfilling…in the second paragraph, the author means that ________.
A. girls will turn out to be less valuable than boys
B. girls will be capable of realizing their own dreams
C. girls will eventually find their goals in life beyond reach
D. girls will be increasingly discontented with their life at home
58. The author believes that a bad circle can turn into a good circle when ________.
A. women care more about education
B. girls can gain equal access to education
C. a family has fewer but healthier children
D. parents can afford their daughters’ education
59. What does the author say about women’s education?
A. It deserves greater attention than other social issues.
B. It is now given top priority(优先) in many developing countries.
C. It will bring in greater returns than other known investments.
D. It has aroused the interest of a growing number of economists.
60. The passage mainly discusses_________.
A. unequal treatment of boys and girls in developing countries
B. the potential earning power of well-educated women
C. the major contributions of educated women to society
D. the economic and social benefits of education women
