then itll look like a sunset.” “thats a very good idea!” the director said. then he turned to the camera crew and said, “tomorrow morning i want you to get me a beautiful sunrise over the sea.”the camera crew went out early the next morning and filmed a bright sunrise over the beach in the middle of a beautiful bay. then at nine oclock they took it to the director. “here it is, sir,” they said, and gave it to him. he was very pleased. they all went into the studio. “all right,” the director explained, “now our hero and heroine are going to say goodbye. run the film backwards so that we can see the sunset behind them.”the “sunset” began, but after a quarter of a minute, the director suddenly put his face in his hands and shouted to the camera crew to stop.the birds in the film were flying backwards, and the waves on the sea were going away from the beach.24. one evening, the director sent his camera crew out _.a. to film a scene on the sea b. to find an actor and an actressc. to watch a beautiful sunset d. to meet the audience25. why did the director want to send his crew to the west coast?a. because he changed his mind about getting a sunset.b. because he was angry with his crew.c. because he wanted to get a scene of sunset.d. because it was his secretarys suggestion.26. the director wanted to film a sunset over the ocean because _.a. it went well with the separation of the hero and heroineb. when they arrived at the beach it was already in the eveningc. it was more moving than a sunrised. the ocean looked more beautiful at sunset27. after the “sunset” began, the director suddenly put his face in his hands _.a. because he was moved to tearsb. as he saw everything in the film moving backwardsc. as the sunrise did not look as beautiful as he had imaginedd. because he was disappointed with the performance of the hero and heroinecin order to help customers find what they want quickly, its important to keep the thousands of titles in the main street movies store organized properly. this section of the employee handbook will tell you how to organize videos.each main street movies store has three main sections:1. new releases wall.2. film library.3. video games.new releases wall. almost 70 percent of movie rentals are new releases, and that is the first place where most customers go when they enter the store. the center section of shelves on this wall holds hottest hits. when new titles come into the store, place them on this wall in alphabetical order. the shelves beside hottest hits are called recent releases. the new releases wall, including the hottest hits and recent releases shelves, holds about 350 titles.film library. the thousands of titles in the film library are organized into categories. the films within each category are displayed alphabetically. here are the categories and their two-letter computer codes:acactiondrdramahohorrorchchildren fafamilymumusiccocomedyflforeign languagescscience fictionforeign language titles include films that were originally made in a foreign language and films with foreign language subtitles. a sticker on the back of each box tells which type of film it is.video game. all the video games in main street movies are arranged in alphabetical order. although video games represent only a small percentage of our inventory(库存), they are stolen more often than any other type of goods in our store. therefore, video games are never displayed on the shelves. shelves in the video game section hold cardboard with pictures and information about each game. when a customer wants to rent a particular game, you then find the game from the locked case behind the counter.28. whom do you think this passage is most probably addressed to?a. the readers in the store. b. the manager of the store.c. the customers in the store. d. the salespersons of the store.29. in which order are the new movies moved in the store?a. from hottest hits to film library to recent releases.b. from film library to hottest hits to recent releases.c. from recent releases to film library to hottest hits.d. from hottest hits to recent releases to film library.30. why cant video games be seen on the shelves?a. because theyve been sold out.b. because theyre in the storehouse.c. because theyre in a locked case behind the counter.d. because they represent a small percentage of the inventory.31. how can a customer find a film with foreign language subtitles? a. check the computer. b. look at the back of the box. c. check the center section. d. watch a few minutes of the film.dthe enigma (谜）of beautythe search for beauty spans centuries and continents. paintings of egyptians dating back over 4,000 years show both men and women painting their nails and wearing makeup. in 18th-century france, wealthy noblemen wore large wigs (假发）of long, white hair to make themselves attractive. today, people continue to devote a lot of time and money to their appearance.there is at least one good reason for the desire to be attractive：beauty is power. studies suggest that good-looking people make more money, get called on more often in class, and are regarded as friendlier.but what exactly is beauty? its difficult to describe it clearly, and yet we know it when we see it. and our awareness of it may start at a very early age. in one set of studies, six-month-old babies were shown a series of photographs. the faces on the pictures had been rated for attractiveness by a group of college students. in the studies, the babies spent more time looking at the attractive faces than the unattractive ones.the idea that even babies can judge appearance makes perfect sense to many researchers. in studies by psychologists, men consistently showed a preference for women with larger eyes, fuller lips, and a smaller nose and chin while women prefer men with large shoulders and a narrow waist. according to scientists, the mind unconsciously tells men and women that these traits the full lips, clear skin, strong shoulders equal health and genetic well-being.not everyone thinks the same way, however. our hardwiredness can be changed by all sorts of expectations mostly cultural, says c. loring brace, an anthropologist at the university of michigan. what is considered attractive in one culture might not be in another. look at most western fashion magazines：the women on the pages are thin. but is this perfect body type for women worldwide? scientists answer is no; what is considered beautiful is subjective and varies around the world. they found native peoples in southeast peru preferred shapes regarded overweight in western cultures.for better or worse, beauty plays a role in our lives. but it is extremely difficult to describe exactly what makes one person attractive to another. although there do seem to be certain physical traits considered universally appealing, it is also true that beauty does not always keep to a single, uniform standard. beauty really is, as the saying goes, in the eye of the beholder.32. peoples ideas about beauty _.a. have existed since ancient timesb. can be easily describedc. have little influence on a persons successd. are based upon strict criteria33. in paragraph 3, the babies in the study _.a. were rated for their appearanceb. were entered in a beauty contestc. were shown photos of a group of college studentsd. were able to tell attractive faces from unattractive ones34. the underlined word “traits” in paragraph 4 probably means _.a. qualities b. measurementsc. judgments d. standards35. we can learn from the passage that _.a. the ideas of beauty vary as people grow upb. the search for beauty is rooted in lack of confidencec. the standards for beauty are based on scientific researchesd. the understanding of beauty depends on cultural backgrounds第二节 (共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。（注意：若你选择的答案为e, 请在机读卡上填涂ab；答案为f, 填涂ac；答案为g, 填涂ad）how can we all get more laughter into our lives? here is what the experts suggest:36. _nancy alguire, a teacher in clifton park, n.y. was once painfully shy and she seldom laughed. then she married a circus clown (小丑). “i became interested in the clowns,” she recalls,“ one day i put on a costume and paint my face. that afternoon my whole life changed. i learned to laugh and enjoy life in a way i had never done before.” 37. _ to this day, she still makes it a rule to be with people who enjoy life and laughing.38. _it doesnt take you too much time and can be easy. collect favorite cartoons and jokes. also, keep a paper for writing down humor you find in everyday life.“good ideas come and go fast, you have to capture them quickly or they are gone,” says virginia tooper.laugh when you need it most.“39. _” says comedian bill cosby.“and once you find laughter, no matter how painful your situation might be, you can survive it,” he insists.gray alan, a sociology professor at the university of minnesota, claims that laughter is a skill we can all gainbecause it comes naturally. 40. _ just remember: we are just here for a period, so get a few laughs.a. you can soften the worst blows through humor.b. mix with people who laugh.c. practise the art of laughing.d. keep a laughter file.e. he who laughs last laughs best.f. but its also something that has to be developed.g. peoples joy can affect those around them.第三部分 英语知识运用(共两节，满分45分) 第一节 完形填空(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项 (a、b、c和d)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。i lost my elderly mother a few weeks ago. actually, my mother had fallen over during the night and had not been able to 41 again. she had woken up the neighbors by banging on the wall. the 42 called an ambulance, which took her 43 to the hospital. my mother has 44 thought that hospitals are a real horror. she believes that doctors and hospitals give you 45 diseases. my father went to hospital a year ago, and after a few weeks, he 46 . the fact that he was also in the final 47 of lung cancer was certainly related, but by my mothers logic, my fathers death was 48 with the hospital. when a neighbor 49 me up and told me that my mother had been taken off in an ambulance, the first thing i did was similar, which was to ring queen elizabeth hospital. the paramedics(护理人员) had told my neighbor that my mother would 50 be taken there, 51 i was told that no one by that name had been 52 , so they gave me the numbers of two other west midland hospitals. both of them also 53 that they were holding my mother. i rang the 54 and asked them to find her, but the nice officer said
