其次节：完形填空（共20小题；每小题1分，共20分）
阅读下面短文，把握其大意，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。
Three packs of cigarettes were lying there on the pavement. I went down from Shubentsov’s office doorstep, picked them up and pocketed them. Later, in a bar, when I opened the first pack, I found – to my 36 – the twenty cigarettes were there.
I’m still at the bar, telephone in one 37 and the cigarettes in the other. I’m dialing Shubentsov, who told me to call the moment 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 smokers of their nasty habit, using a 41 method. He sent his healing energy from his fingertips, he tells me – something he picked up from another man in Russia. “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 with 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 46 my head, helps me 47 . Smoking has started conversations, driven away annoying people. Smoking helps me celebrate victories, get over losses, comfort the comfortless. It also chases 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 losing 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 place. I’ve tried all the other quitting techniques 52 . Anytime the urge to smoke 53 , he said, just call him immediately and he’ll help. The funny thing is, I realise that I’m not phoning him to stop me from lighting up. I’m phoning him so I can. If I call, I’ll have done my part. Then I can smoke this cigarette. Besides, I know that at 9.30 on a Friday night, I’ll get the answering machine. I do. “The office is open from ten to four. Call me back then. This machine does not take messages.”
I put the phone down and I can honestly say I’m 54 . You see, it’s not Shubentsov’s fault or anyone else’s fault that I’m still 55 . It’s mine.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to smoke this cigarette. Whether I’ll really enjoy it, though, is another story.

36.A. sadness B. disappointment C. inspiration D. delight
37. A. pack B. hand C. pocket D. bar
38.A. smoke B. talk C. drink D. dial
39.A. weaker B. faster C. stronger D. harder
40.A. accusing B. helping C. developing D. curing
41.A. popular B. mysterious C. frightening D. dangerous
42.A. whenever B. whatever C. however D. whichever
43. A. start B. continue C. stop D. keep
44. A. struggling B. beating C. hitting D. playing
45.A.lovely B. friendly C. lonely D. daily
46.A. destroys B. hurts C. cuts D. clears
47.A. breathe B. smile C. see D. think
48.A. begin B. quit C. report D. study
49.A. hate B. love C. ignore D. miss
50.A. ill B. excited C. addicted D. fascinated
51. A. give in B. give up C. give off D. give away
52.A. available B. alike C. abnormal D. additional
53.A.strikes B. attacks C. indicates D. continues
54.A.disappointed B. unhappy C. satisfied D. relieved
55.A.living B. working C. smoking D. smiling
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 are set close together on the front of your face? The reasons are simple and important to the way you see the rest of your world．
Your eyes are like two small cameras. A camera catches an 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 back of the eyeball．Because your eyes are set close together，they view the world from about the same height but from slightly different angles. Working as a team, the eyes send the images to your brain, which puts them together into a single, centered image.
Seeing in stereo means seeing with two eyes working together，which is called stereoscopic sight．This allows you to view the world in three dimensions，or 3-D．Seeing depth helps you to judge the distance between you 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, however，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 face．Think of other animals with this same arrangement．They 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 behind．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．Besides，what if you needed glasses? Be glad for the eyesight that you 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 humans are fortunate to have
C．would be better for a wider field of sight
D．helps people to have better sight than animals
B
Computer games have been criticised for quite some time over a whole range of issues. Some people say they are overly violent and encourage violent behaviour particularly in children. Others say that they make children unsociable and are bad for their eyes. Some have even attributed falling standards of literacy and a lack of interest in reading on them. Now, however, it seems that computer games have also become a feminist issue.
Game manufacturers have, for some time, been looking to increase 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 appeals more to males or perhaps because many of the main characters in the games are male. Manufacturers' attempts to produce more female characters increase their share of the female gaming market which has met with serious criticism from many 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 subconsciously setting unattainable standards in the minds of young women. Perhaps a stronger criticism is that although many games now include female characters, their role is often secondary and they support the main, male, action characters within the games. Of course the nature of many of the games remains violent and destructive and this in itself could well continue to put off female gamers.
