三、完形填空（共30分）
In this modern world, we rush around all day, doing things, talking, sending and reading message. We are always on, always connected, always thinking, always talking. There is no   36   for stillness.
And when we are   37   to be still because we’re in line for something, or waiting at a doctor’s appointment, or on a bus or train, we often   38  something to do. Some will play with mobile devices, others will read something. Being still isn’t something we’re   39  .
This comes at a   40   : we lose that time for   41 , for observing and listening. We lose peace.
And   42   yet: sometimes too much action is worse than no action at all. You can run around crazily, but get   43  done.
Take a moment to think about   44   you spend your days. Are you constantly rushing around? Are you constantly reading and answering   45   checking on the news and the latest stream of information? Are you always   46   through your schedule?
Is this how you want to spend your   47   ? If so, peace be with you. If not, take a moment to be   48 . Don’t think about what you have to do, or what you’ve done already.   49   be in the moment.
Then after a minute or two of doing that, consider your life, and how you’d  
50   it to be. See your life with less movement, less doing, less rushing. See it with more stillness, more consideration, more   51   .
Then be that vision.
It’s pretty simple: all you have to do is sit still for a little bit each day.   52   you’ve gotten used to that, try doing less each day. Breathe when you feel yourself moving too   53  . slow down. Be present. Find happiness now, in this moment, instead of   54  for it.
55   the stillness. It’s a treasure, and it’s available to us, always.

Last year, I was speaking at a gathering of wealthy male investors. The organizers posted the   1  of a survey showing that only a small percentage of wealthy men believed their wives spent too much.
'What?'   2  one participant. 'Those guys have to be lying.'
There is no reliable   3  of who spends more among the rich: men or women. Both will say the other is the   4  spender.
A recent survey by Wilmington Trust, Campden Research and Relative Solutions proves the   5  . The companies polled 40 women (I know, that is more like a show of hands than 'survey'), each with a net worth of $25 million or more.
About half the respondents（受調(diào)查者） inherited（.繼承） their   6  , a quarter   7  it from their husbands and the other quarter earned it   8   . That is roughly in line with other surveys of   9  women and the source of their money. One interesting note: among the self-made women, 90% got their money from owning a business, rather than   10  a salary.
As for   11   , almost all the women (90%) described their spending habits as 'below their means.' The report on the survey said that is 'possibly   12  they do not view their extreme wealth as defining their success.
'Women tend not to spend as much as   13  and splash（潑灑得使到處是） their names all over the place,' said one woman in the survey, describing her spending as conservative and he lifestyle as 'below the radar.'
Many women also worried about wealth having   14   effects on their children and didn't want to spend lavishly（揮霍） to   15  a bad example.
At the same time, 70% of the women said they 'buy nice things when   16   .' And 93.5% of the women said they were responsible for making   17  on major purchases, which   18  that they do a lot of the big spending.
Of course, for truly major purchases a house in Aspen, Colo., a Gulfstream, a Feadship the couple probably makes the decision   19  .

閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)A、B、C、D中，選出最佳答案。
The competition for Hollywood's highest honors has begun with the announcement Tuesday in Los Angeles of this year's nominations（提名）for the 82nd Academy Awards. 
As expected, James Cameron's Avatar received a Best Picture nomination. And Cameron's former wife, Kathryn Bigelow, was nominated for The Hurt Locker, a war film set in Iraq.  Bigelow would be the first female director to win Best Picture.
Hollywood author Tom O'Neil says the race between the former couple adds more drama to the competition.  "We have a classic David-versus-Goliath battle here for Best Picture at the Oscars. The most successful movie ever made, Avatar, up against a movie that lost money, The Hurt Locker - directed by the former Mrs. Goliath, Kathryn Bigelow. This race has all kinds of dimensions（程度） to it," he said.
For the first time since 1943, 10 films are competing for the Best Picture award.
Entertainment reporter Sam Rubin says that means greater interest in the Academy Awards ceremony March 7th.  "The Oscars are a television show," he explained. "So the idea is to increase ratings and interest in the television show."
District Nine represents another departure -- a tale of science fiction -- like the box office hit Avatar.
"No science-fiction movie has ever won Best Picture. Only two have been nominated in the past: Star Wars and E.T. Two are nominated for Best Picture now," O'Neil said.
Best Picture nominee Precious is a drama about the struggles of an inner-city teen, and its director, Lee Daniels, is also nominated in the Best Director category. He is first African-American director to get a Best Picture nomination. 
The other Best Picture nominees are An Education, The Blind Side, Inglourious Basterds, A Serious Man, and Up in the Air.
Over the past 20 years, the film with the most nominations has won best picture 15 times --making Avatar and The Hurt Locker the favorites. 
1. According to the passage, the director of the film __________might be the first female director to win Best Picture.
A. Avatar       B. The Hurt Locker     C. Star Wars     D. The Blind Side
2.How many films have been nominated for the Best Picture Award of the 82nd Oscars?
A. 2           B. 6                C. 8             D.10
3. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?
A. The nominations for the 2009 Oscar Best Picture Films
B. The competition for Hollywood's highest honors has begun
C. The race between a couple                D. Best Picture Award for the Oscars
4. Which of the following is TRUE about Avatar?
A. It is the most successful movie ever made.
B. It’s the only science-fiction movie that has ever won Best Picture.
C. It was directed by James Cameron                   D. It’s a war film.

There is an endless supply of stories about sleepwalkers(夢(mèng)游者). People have been said to climb on roofs, solve mathematical problems, write music, walk through windows, and do murder in their sleep.
In Revere, Masachusctts, a hundred policemen scarched for a lost boy who left his home in his sleep and woke up five hours later on a strange sofa in a strange living room, with no idea how he had got there.
At the University of Lowa, a student was reported to have the habit of getting up in the middle of the night and walking three—quarters of a mile to the lowa River. He would take a swim and then go back to his room to bed.
An American expert on sleep claims(聲稱(chēng)) that he has never seen a sleepwalker. He is said to know more about sleep than any other living man, and during the last thirty—five years he has lost a lot of sleep watching people sleep. He says, “Of course, I know that there are sleepwalkers because I have read about them in the newspapers. But none of my sleepers ever walked, and if I were to advertise for sleepwalkers for an experiment, I doubt whether I would get many takers(應(yīng)征者).”
Sleepwalking, however, is a scientific reality. It is one of those strange things that sometimes looks quite fantastic(奇特的). Doctors say that sleepwalking is much more common than is generally supposed. Many sleepwalkers do not try to find help and their sleepwalking is never recorded.

A
For most people, the word “fashion” means “clothes”. But people may ask the question, “What clothes are in fashion?” And they use the adjective (形容詞) “fashionable” in the same way: “She was wearing a fashionable color.”
But of course there are fashions in many things, not only in clothes. There are fashions in holidays, in restaurants, in films and books. There are even fashions in school subjects, jobs…and in languages.
Fashions change as time goes. If you look at pictures of people or things from the past, you will see that fashions have always changed. An English house of 1750 was different from his grandson in 1860.
Today fashions change very quickly. Some of this is natural. We hear about things much more quickly than in the past. Newspapers, radios, telephones and television send information from one country to another in a few hours.
New fashions mean that people will buy new things, so you see there is money in fashion.
41  From this passage we know that “fashion” means _________.
A  clothes   B  many things    C  most of the popular things    D  everything
42  Which of the following things is fashionable today?
　  A  Surfing on the Internet

閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。
A
Fifty years from now the world’s population will be declining, with no end in sight. Unless people’s values change greatly, several centuries from now there could be fewer people living in the entire world than live in the United States today. The big surprise of the past twenty years is that in not one country did fertility (生育能力) stop falling when it reached the replacement rate（出生率）—2.1 children per woman. In Italy, for example, the rate has fallen to 1.2. In Western Europe as a whole and in Japan it is down to 1.5. The evidence now indicates that within fifty years or so world population will peak at about eight billion before starting a fairly rapid decline.
Because in the past two centuries world population has increased from one billion to nearly six billion, many people still fear that it will keep “exploding” until there are too many people for the earth to support. But that is like fearing that your baby will grow to 1,000 pounds because its weight doubles three times in its first seven years. World population was growing by two percent a year in the 1960s; the rate is now down to one percent a year, and if the patterns of the past century don’t change completely, it will head into negative numbers. This view is coming to be widely accepted among population experts, even as the public continues to focus on the threat of uncontrolled population growth.
As long ago as September of 1974 Scientific American published a special issue on population that described what demographers (人口統(tǒng)計(jì)學(xué)家) had begun calling the “demographic transition” from traditional high rates of birth and death to the low ones of modern society. The experts believed that birth and death rates would be more or less equal in the future, as they had been in the past, keeping total population stable after a level of 10-12 billion people was reached during the transition.
56. Which of the following statement is NOT true according to the passage?
A. The world’s population in the future will be reducing endlessly.
B. When the earth population reaches 8 billion, it will see a rapid decrease.
C. In modern society the birth and death rates will be more or less equal in the future.
D. The public now pay little attention to the threat of uncontrolled population growth.
57. What’s reason for the sharp increase of world population in the past two centuries?
A. Because people fear that the world will explode.
B. Because the world’s replacement rate keeps falling.
C. Because people’s values has greatly changed.
D. The passage doesn't mention it.
58. The expression “demographic transition” (Paragraph 3) probably means _______.
A. high death rate to the low one
B. high birth rate to the low one
C. high rates of birth and death to the low ones
D. low rates of birth and death to the high ones
59. We can learn from the passage that _______.
A. in the near future there will be a rapid decline of the world population
B. the birth and death rates of modern society will be unequal in the future
C. there would be the same population living in the world than it in the US today
D. in Western Europe the replacement rate has declined to a negative number
