9、.二、B阅读理解/B(总题数：7，分数：70.00)Londoners are great readers. They buy vast numbers of newspapers and magazines and of booksspecially paperbacks, which are still comparatively cheap in spite of ever-increasing rises in the costs of printing. They still continue to buy “proper“ books, too, printed on good p
10、aper and bound between hard covers.There are many streets in London containing shops which specialize in book-selling. Perhaps the best known of these is Charring Cross Road in the very heart of London. Here bookshops of all sorts and sizes are to be found, from the celebrated one which boasts of be
11、ing “the biggest bookshop in the world“ to the tiny, dusty little places which seem to have been left over from Dickens time. Some of these shops stock, or will obtain, any kind of book, but many of them specialize in second-hand books, in art books, in foreign books, in books on philosophy, politic
12、s or any other of the myriad subjects about which books may be written. One shop in this area specializes solely in books about ballet.Although it may be the most convenient place for Londoners to buy books, Charring Cross Road is not the cheapest. For the really cheap second-hand volumes, the colle
13、ctor must venture off the beaten track, to Farringdon Road, for example, in the East Central district of London. Here there is nothing so grandiose as bookshops. Instead, the booksellers come along each morning and tip out their sacks of books on the small barrows (流动售货车) which line the gutters (街沟)
14、. And the collectors, some professional and some amateur, who have been waiting for them, pounce (一把抓住) upon the dusty cascaded (一叠叠图书). In places like this one can still, occasionally, pick up for a few pence an old volume that may be worth many pounds.（分数：10.00）(1).“Londoners are great readers“ me

Everyone has imagination, but most of us, once we become adults, forget how to access it. Creativity isnt always connec
19、ted with great works of art or ideas. People at work and in their free time routinely think of creative ways to solve problems. Maybe you have a goal to achieve, a tricky question to answer or you just want to expand your mind! Here are three techniques to help you.This technique involves taking unr
20、elated ideas and trying to find links between them. First, think about the problem you have to solve or the job you need to do. Then find an image, word, idea or object, for example, a candle. Write down all the ideas/words associated with candles: light, fire, matches, wax, night, silence, etc. Thi
21、nk of as many as you can. The next stage is to relate the ideas to the job you have to do. So imagine you want to buy a friend an original present, you could buy him tickets to a match or take him out for the night.Imagine that normal limitations dont exist. You have as much time/space/money, etc, a
22、s you want. Think about your goal and the new possibilities. If, for example, your goal is to learn to ski, you can now practice skiing every day of your life because you have the time and the money. Now adapt this to reality. Maybe you can practice skiing every day in December, or every Monday in J
23、anuary.Look at the situation from a different point of view. Good negotiators (谈判者) use this technique in business, and so do writers. Fiction writers often imagine they are the characters in their books. They ask questions, what does this character want? Why cant she get it? What changes must she m
24、ake to get what she wants? What does she dream about? If your goal involves other people, put yourself “in their shoes“.

A. setting a goal is as simple as skiing B. you have every resource to achieve your goal C. new possibilities will soon appear D. December and January are t

29、ens. But at about age 15 or so, the men voluntarily began cutting down their nightly sleep time because of pressures from school, work, and other activities. These men tended to view their nightly periods of unconsciousness as bothersome interruptions in their daily routines.In general, these “short
30、 sleeps“ appeared ambitious, active, energetic, cheerful, conformist (不动摇) in their opinions, and very sure about their career choices. They often held several jobs at once, or worked full-or part-time while going to school. And many of them had a strong urge to appear “normal“ or “acceptable“ to th
31、eir friends and associates.When asked to recall their dreams, the “short sleepers“ did poorly. More than this, they seemed to prefer not remembering. In similar fashion, their usual way of dealing with psychological problems was to deny that the problem existed, and then to keep busy in the hope tha
32、t the trouble would go away.The sleep patterns of the “short sleepers“ were similar to, but less extreme than, sleep patterns shown by many mental patients categorized as manic (疯人).The “long sleepers“ were quite different indeed. Baekeland and Hartmann report that these young men had been lengthy s
33、leeps since childhood. They seemed to enjoy their sleep, protected it, and were quite concerned when they were occasionally deprived of their desired 9 hours of nightly bed rest. They tended to recall their dreams much better than did the “short sleepers.“Many of the “long sleepers“ were shy, anxiou
34、s, introverted (内向), inhibited (压抑), passive, mildly depressed, and unsure of themselves (particularly in social situations). Several openly states that sleep was an escape from their daily problems.（分数：10.00）(1).According to the report, _. A. many short sleepers need less sleep by nature B. many sh
35、ort sleepers are obliged to reduce their nightly sleep time because they are busy with their work C. long sleepers sleep a longer period of time during the day D. many long sleepers preserve their sleeping habit formed during their childhood（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(2).Many “short sleepers“ are likely to ho
36、ld the view that _. A. sleep is a withdrawal from the reality B. sleep interferes with their sound judgment C. sleep is the least expensive item on their routine program D. sleep is the best way to deal with psychological troubles（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(3).It is stated in the third paragraph that short sl
37、eepers _. A. are ideally vigorous even under the pressures of life B. often neglect the consequences of inadequate sleep C. do not know how to relax properly D. are more unlikely to run into mental problems（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(4).When sometimes they cannot enjoy adequate sleep, the long sleepers might
38、_. A. appear disturbed B. become energetic C. feel dissatisfied D. be extremely depressed（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(5).Which of the following is NOT included in the passage? A. If one sleeps inadequately, his performance suffers and his memory is weakened. B. The sleep patterns of short sleepers are exactly
39、the same as those shown by many mental patients. C. Long and short sleepers differ in their attitudes towards sleep. D. Short sleepers would be better off with more rest.（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.What exactly is a lie? Is it anything we say which we know is untrue? Or is it something more than that? For exam
40、ple, suppose a friend wants to borrow some money from you. You say “I wish I could help you but Im short of money myself.“ In fact, you are not short of money but your friend is in the habit of not paying his debts and you dont want to hurt his feelings by reminding him of this. Is this really a lie
41、?Professor Jereald Jellison of the University of Southern California has made a scientific study of lying. According to him, women are better liars than men, particularly when telling a “white lie,“ such as when a woman at a party tells another woman that she likes her dress when she really thinks i
42、t looks awful. However, this is only one side of the story. Other researchers say that men are more likely tell more serious lies, such as making a promise which they have no intention of fulfilling. This is the kind of lie politicians and businessmen are supposed to be particularly skilled at. the
43、lie from which the liar hopes to profit or gain in some way.Research has also been done into the way peoples behavior changes in a number of small, apparently unimportant ways when they lie. It has been found that if they are sitting down at the time, they tend to move about in their chairs more tha
44、n usual. To the trained observer they are saying “I wish I were somewhere else now. “ They also tend to touch certain parts of the face more often, in particular the nose. One explanation of this may be that lying causes a slight increase in blood pressure. The tip of the nose is very sensitive to s
45、uch changes and the increased pressure makes it itch (痒).Another gesture which gives liars away is what the writer Demond Morris in his book Manwatching calls “the mouth cover“. He says there are several typical forms of this, such as covering part of the mouth with the fingers, touching the upper-l
46、ip or putting a finger of the hand at one side of the mouth. Such a gesture can be interpreted as an unconscious attempt on the part of the liar to stop himself or herself from lying.Of course, such gestures as rubbing the nose or covering the mouth, or moving about in a chair cannot be taken as pro
47、of that the speaker is lying. They simply tend to occur more frequently in this situation. It is not one gesture alone that gives the liar away but a whole number of things, and, in particularly, the context in which the lie is told.（分数：10.00）(1).One sometimes tells ones friend a “white lie“ because
48、 one wants to _. A. make a profit from the other person B. avoid offending the other person C. convince the other person D. have some fun（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(2).One research suggests that women _. A. generally lie far more than men B. tend to tell more serious lies than men C. make more promises they can fulfill th
