No, I had nothing in the world but a million-pound note. So I forced myself to go on by. But soon I was drawing back again. The temptation troubled me a lot. I must have passed that shop six times during that struggle. At last Igave in, I had to. I asked if they had a cheap suit. The fellow I spoke to made no answer at first, looked me up and down, noticed that I was almost in rags(衣衫褴褛), then said, “Just a minute.”I waited till he had finished his work. Then he took me into a back room to choose a cheapest suit for me. I put it on. It didn’t fit, but it was new and I was anxious to have it, so I said shyly:“Could you wait a few da ys for the money? I haven’t any small change on me.”The fellow looked at me coldly and said, “Oh, you haven’t. Well, of course, I know that gentlemen like you carry only large notes.”I was angry, and said, “My friend, you shouldn't judge a stranger alway s by the clothes he wears. I am quite able to pay for this suit. I simply didn't wish to put you to the trouble of changing a large note. ” “Why do you think we can’t change your note? Instead, we can.”I handed the note to him and said: “Oh, very well, I am sorry.”He received it with a smile, and then as he looked at the note, his smile froze.Realizing what was going on, the owner of the shop gave a low whistle and talked excitedly, as if to himself.“To sell such a suit as that to a millionaire! Tod’s a fool. Please get those clothes off, sir. Wait till you see what we’ll make for you to your own measure.”Before I could get in a word he had measured me, and was giving orders for evening suits, morning suits, shirts and all sorts of things.( ) 34.

She let her eyes lazily scan the landscape for wildlife. Then a deer came into view about 200 yards in front of them. "Dad, there's a deer there!" Alexis said. It was a male deer with sharp antlers (角) on each side of its head.As the car moved closer, Alexis saw that the deer's head was bent toward the ground. Then she heard a scream and saw an arm fly up near the deer's head. Alexis realized the deer was attacking a woman. Sue, a 44-year-old mother, had been out for her morning run. The deer followed her and edged closer. "I knew I was in trouble," Sue says. She went to pick up a stick for self-defense, and the deer charged. It lifted her with its antlers and threw her into the air. Sue could feel blood flew down her leg. Within seconds, the deer had pushed her off the road.When Alexis and her father pulled up, the deer was throwing Sue like a doll. Alexis looked into the woman's terrified eyes, and before her father had even stopped the car, the teenager jumped quickly out of the car and ran toward the deer. "I was kicking it to get its attention," she says. Then her father, who had followed his daughter, pushed the deer away from the women.Alexis helped Sue into the car, and then applied a piece of cloth to Sue's injured leg. "We're going to get you to a hospital," Alexis said. Then she heard her father shout loudly. He had been knocked to the ground. Alexis took hold of a hammer from the car and ran to where her father lay on his back. She beat the deer's head and neck, but the blows didn't scare it away. "I was losing faith," she says. "A couple more strikes, Alexis," said her father. "You can do it." Turning the hammer around, Alexis closed her eyes and beat the deer's neck with all her strength. When she opened her eyes, the deer was running away. Alexis got in the driver's seat and sped toward the nearest hospital.After Sue was treated, she tearfully thanked her rescuers. "You expect a teenage girl to get on the phone and call for help," she says, "not to beat up a deer."( ) 38. What was Sue doing when she was attacked by the deer?A. She was driving home.B. She was resting on the road.C. She was taking exercise.D. She was feeding wild animals.( ) 39. What did Alexis do to save Sue?A. She pushed the deer away.B. She hit the deer with her feet.C.

What is the best title for the passage?A. A Woman Was Seriously InjuredB. A Dangerous Deer Attacked a WomanC. A Girl Rescued Her Father SuccessfullyD. A Teenager Saved Others from a Deer AttackDTurning the lights out or wearing a blindfold while eating could be a quick way to lose weight, according to scientists. The simple trick works because it stops diners eating for pleasure rather than for calories. It also triggers (引发) a part of the brain that is worried that unseen food may go bad.An experiment by the University of Konstanz, in Germany, found that people who were blindfolded consumed nine percent fewer calories before they felt full, compared to those who could see. They also vastly overestimated how much they had eaten because they could not see how much was left on the plate. Blindfolded volunteers estimated they had eaten 88 percent more than they actually had.Scientists believe that not seeing food on the table also allows the body to know when it is full in real time rather than remembering past experiences where it might have taken a full plate to feel full.In the experiment, 50 people were blindfolded and 40 were allowed to see their food. All were told not to eat within two hours of the experiment. They were then given three 95g bowls of chocolate ice cream and invited to eat for 15 minutes. Their bowls were taken away and the remaining ice-cream weighed, while the participants were quizzed on how much they thought they had eaten.On average the group who could see ate 116g while the blindfolded groups ate 105g. However, the blindfolded group believed they had eaten 197g while compared with 159g for the non-blind volunteers. They were also asked how pleasant the ice-cream tasted and the blindfolded group rated lower than those who could see.“The experienced pleasure of eating was lower in the blindfolded group. Not seeing the food might have decreased the appetite. Sight plays an important role in the eating experience and in the overall dining experience.”Previous studies have shown that the visual influence of food plays a large part in the taste. While restaurants that allow diners to eat in the dark state that it triggers other senses, in fact eating in darkness is likely to taste far milder than usual.( ) 42. With the lights out, diners eat less partly because ______.A. they want to quickly finish their mealsB. they trust their feelings more than everC. they focus more on fun than the caloriesD. they worry about the quality of the food( ) 43. We can learn from the passage that the blindfolded group ______.A. spent a much longer time eating the same foodB. believed they ate more than they really didC. depended on past experiences to feel fullD. thought the food tasted better than usual( ) 44. The last two paragraphs tell us that ______.A. diners are likely to lose their appetite eating in darknessB. senses rather than sight play an important role in the tasteC. findings of this experiment differ from the previous studiesD. restaurants benefit a lot from allowing diners to eat in the dark( ) 45. The main purpose of the passage is to ______.A. provide statistics related to eating in the darkB. offer reasons for people to eat in the dark areasC. inform the readers of the result of an experimentD. advise the readers to lose weight in a new way第Ⅱ卷（非选择题共60分）四、词汇（本题共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分）A. 请根据括号中的中文提示、英文释义或句意，写出句中所缺单词，使句子通顺。
