　　第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题，每题2分，满分40分）

　　阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

　　A

　　A photographer takes a picture of the Chinese bronze rat head and rabbit head sculptures display on the preview of the auction（拍卖）of Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Berge’s art collection at the Grand Palais in Paris, France, Feb, 21, 2009. Chinese lawyers have asked the French court to stop auction house Christie’s putting two bronze relics（文物） looted from China　under the hammer, lawyers said Friday.

　　A Paris court on Monday ruled against stopping the sale of two　looted Chinese bronze sculptures which come up for auction at Christie’s on Wednesday. Under the ruling of the Tribunal de Grande　Instance in Paris, the plaintiff（起诉人）, the Association for theProtection of Chinese Art in Europe（APCAE）, was ordered to pay compensation（赔偿）to the defendant.

　　Ren Xiaohong, a lawyer for APCAE, told Xinhua that it was “of great significance” to file the lawsuit. “We hope to arouse public attention in Europe on the fate of numerous Chinese works stolen in the past, to help keep those relics well protected and collected,” Ren said.

　　The Qing Dynasty（1644—1911）relics, the heads of a bronze rabbit and a rat, were among an original set of 12 bronze animal heads that were once decorated at the imperial summer resort Yuanmingyuan. They were looted when the palace was burnt down by Anglo-French allied forces during the Second Opium War in 1860.

　　The pair became part of a collection of the late fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent. They have been put up for auction by his partner, Pierre Berge. The two items are expected to fetch between 16 million and 20 million euros.

　　So far, five of the 12 bronze animal heads have been returned to China, while the whereabouts（下落）of five others are unknown.

　　56. The two bronze animal heads were displayed at the Grand Palais in Paris so that

　　.

　　A. they could be collected and well preserved

　　B. the photographers could take pictures

　　C. the public could see them in advance

　　D. they couldn’t be sold at auction

　　57. The significance to stop the sale of two bronze animal heads is to

　　.

　　A. fetch between 16 million and 20 million euros

　　B. draw public attention to the Chinese works stolen in the past

　　C. make the world know more about history of the Qing Dynasty

　　D. find the other five bronze animal heads and return them to China

　　58. Which of the following is NOT true?

　　A. The 12 bronze animal heads have been put up for auction.

　　B. The 2 bronze animal heads haven’t been returned to China.

　　C. The 12 bronze animal heads were used as imperial decoration.

　　D. Yuanmingyuan was once burnt down by Anglo-French allied forces.

　　59. The passage is most probably taken from

　　.

　　A. a newspaper

　　B. an advertisement

　　C. a history textbook D. an introduction of auction

　　B

　　Having one of those days?or weeks?when everything seems to annoy you? Even if you do nothing about it, your bad mood（心情）will probably go away after some time. But with a little effort, you can forget it much faster—often within a day or two.

　　◇Walk it off

　　Exercise is the most popular bad-mood buster. A person who’s in a bad mood his low energy and high tension. Taking a fast ten-minute walk, or doing some quick exercises can do wonders towards changing that bad mood.

　　◇Tune it out

　　Listening to your favorite music for a while can also make tension go away quickly, because music starts associations with past positive experiences we’ve had.

　　◇Give yourself a pep talk

　　Stop and listen to what’s on your mind. Bad moods are often started by too many negative thoughts. Write them all down on paper, the pessimistic（悲观的）messages you’ve been giving yourself and then give optimistic answers. (“I still don’t have a job.” vs “I have two interviews next week.”)

　　◇Reduce your stress

　　Relaxation techniques are wonderful mood-lifters. These include deep breathing, stretching and visualizing, all of which sound complicated（复杂的）but aren’t. One easy way to visualize: close your eyes and picture a favorite place, such as the beach. Another simple way to be against distress is to make a to-do list. One reason for being in a bad mood is feeling you have no options. By taking control over certain areas, you realize you’re not helpless. You can make changes in your mood and life.

　　◇Avoid things that won’t improve your mood.

　　TV may not help much: You need to increase your energy level and stimulate（刺激）your mind—something that the TV show “Neighbors” won’t do. And before you reach for that piece of cake and coffee, think about how mood and food are linked. Sugar and caffeine contribute to depressed moods. A better choice? Research shows that carbohydrates, such as potatoes and pasta（面食）,　produce a calming effects in people who have a desire for them.

　　60. Which of the following may help us stop a bad mood?

　　A. Doing nothing about it.

　　B. Exercising and enjoying music.

　　C. Writing down negative thoughts.

　　D. Talking about it with neighbors.

　　61. Why is it suggested that you close your eyes and picture the beach?

　　A. It helps remove bad mood.

　　B. It brings us a new technique.

　　C. It is not complicated to do so.

　　D. It is an area to be easily controlled.

　　62. TV may not improve your mood because it

　　.

　　A. shows what happens around you B. does not energize you

　　C. reminds you of eating and drinking D. produces a calming effect

　　63. Which would be the best title for this passage?

　　A. Energy Level and Stress B. How to Beat a Bad Mood

　　C. Bad Mood and Our Life D. How to Control Your Feeling

　　C

　　It often happens that a number of applicants（申请人）with almost the same qualifications and experience all apply for the same position. In their educational background, special skills and work experience, there is little, if anything, to choose between half a dozen candidates. How then does the employer make a choice? Usually on the basis of an interview.

　　There are many arguments for and against the interview as a way of selection. The main argument against it is that it results in a wholly subjective decision. As often as not, employers do not choose the best candidate. They choose the candidate who makes a good first impression on them. Some employers, of course, reply to this argument by saying that they have become so experienced in interviewing staff that they are able to make a good assessment of each candidate’s likely performance. The main argument in favor of the interview is that an employer is concerned not only with a candidate’s ability, but with his or her suitable personality for the particular work situation. Many employers, for example, will overlook occasional mistakes from their secretary if she has a pleasant personality.

　　It is perhaps true to say, therefore, that the real purpose of an interview is not to assess the assessable aspects of each candidate but to make a guess at the things that are hard to measure, such as personality, character and social ability. Unfortunately, both for the employers and applicants for jobs, there are many people of great ability who simply do not interview well. There are also, of course, people who interview extremely well, but are later found to be very unsatisfactory employees. Candidates who interview well tend to be quietly confident, but never boastful（自夸的）, direct and straightforward in their questions and answers; cheerful and friendly, but never over-familiar; and sincerely enthusiastic and optimistic. Candidates who interview badly tend to be either very shy or over-confident. They either talk too little or never stop talking. They are either over polite or a bit rude.

　　64. People argue over the interview mainly because they have

　　.

　　A. different purposes in the interview

　　B. different experiences in interviews

　　C. different standards of selection

　　D. different ways of selection

　　65. The underlined word “subjective” means “based on one’s

　　rather than facts” .

　　A. personality

　　B. character C. opinion D. ability

　　66. The purpose of the last paragraph is to indicate
