第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，16小题，满分32分）

第一节：阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

For the last couple of weeks, I had been stuck in front of my computer working on a project that was very important to me. My every waking hour was consumed by the project and although I imagined that I would feel happy after completing parts of the project, I was confused to find that instead, I was feeling rather depressed. I tried a range of methods to help cheer myself up. I had a relaxing bath, cooked a delicious meal to enjoy with my family and even watched a light-hearted movie, but to_no_avail. It was only when I turned to meditation（沉思）for a solution that the answer came to me: turn to nature!

The very next day, I grabbed my camera and a bottle of water and set off to spend a few hours walking in a nature reserve, even though it was pouring with rain. Within a couple of minutes I felt alive again. To be honest, I felt like a young school girl again and had to stop myself from hopping along the path singing I'm singing in the rain, a song I used to sing when I was a child. I think as adults we often try too hard to control our inner children and as a result we restrain our own spirits, which only leads to depression and stress.

Interestingly, it has been shown that people who spend 40 minutes walking in a nature reserve have a drop in their blood pressure levels, but this does not happen when they spend a similar amount of time walking in a busy city centre.

If you feel a little low in spirits and know that you have spent too much time indoors, relax completely, remove your shoes and let your inner child come out and play.

36．The author felt depressed because she .

A．couldn't consume her waking hours B．had not seen a film for a long time

C．had not finished her work on time D．had worked on a hard job for too long

37．The author walked in a nature reserve in the rain in order to .

A．take photos B．find a solution to the project

C．hop along the path D．cheer herself up

38．The underlined part “to no avail” in Paragraph 1 probably means “ ”.

A．unsuccessful B．unrelated C．uninteresting D．unexpected

39．The last paragraph mainly serves as a（n） .

A．explanation B．suggestion C．introduction D．reminder

B

It is pretty much a one-way street. While it may be common for university researchers to try their luck in the commercial world, there is very little traffic in the opposite direction. Pay has always been the biggest deterrent, as people with families often feel they cannot afford the drop in salary when moving to a university job. For some industrial scientists, however, the attractions of academia（学术界）outweigh any financial considerations.

Helen Lee took a 70% cut in salary when she moved from a senior post in Abbott Laboratories to a medical department at the University of Cambridge. Her main reason for returning to academia mid-career was to take advantage of the greater freedom to choose research questions. Some areas of inquiry have few prospects of a commercial return, and Lee's is one of them.

The impact of a salary cut is probably less severe for a scientist in the early stages of a career. Guy Grant, now a research associate at the Unilever Centre for Molecular Informatics at the University of Cambridge, spent two years working for a pharmaceutical（制药的）company before returning to university as a post doctoral researcher. He took a 30% salary cut but felt it worthwhile for the greater intellectual opportunities.

Higher up the ladder, where a pay cut is usually more significant, the demand for scientists with a wealth of experience in industry is forcing universities to make the transition（转变）to academia more attractive, according to Lee. Industrial scientists tend to receive training that academics do not, such as how to build a multidisciplinary team, manage budgets and negotiate contracts. They are also well placed to bring something extra to the teaching side of an academic role that will help students get a job when they graduate, says Lee, perhaps experience in manufacturing practice or product development.“Only a small number of undergraduates will continue in an academic career. So someone leaving university who already has the skills needed to work in an industrial lab has far more potential in the job market than someone who has spent all their time on a narrow research project.”

41．The underlined word “deterrent” most probably refers to something that “ ”.

A．keeps someone from taking action B．helps to move the traffic

C．attracts people's attention D．brings someone a financial burden

42．What was Helen Lee's major consideration when she changed her job in the middle of her career?

A．Flexible work hours

B．More freedom to choose research questions

C．Her preference for the lifestyle on campus

D．Prospects of academic accomplishments

43．What contribution can industrial scientists make when they come to teach in a university?

A．Increase its graduates' competitiveness in the job market.

B．Develop its students' potential in research.

C．Help it to obtain financial support from industry.

D．Gear i
