第二节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1分，满分20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）选出可以填入空白的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

In ancient Egypt, the pharaoh(法老) treated the poor message runner like a prince when he arrived at the palace, if he brought good news. However, if the exhausted runner had the misfortune to bring the pharaoh unhappy news, his 31 was cut off.

Shades of that spirit spread over today’s conversations. Once a friend and I 32 up some peanut butter and sandwiches for an outing. We were walking light heartedly out the door, picnic basket in hand, 33 a 34 neighbor looked up at the sky and said, “Oh boy, _35_ day for a picnic. The weatherman says it’s going to rain.” I wanted to 36 him on the face with the peanut butter and sandwiches. Not for his stupid weather report, for his smile.

Several months ago I was 37 to catch a bus. As I put my handful of cash across the Greyhound counter 38 , the sales agent said with a broad smile, “Oh that bus 39 five minutes ago. “ Dreams of head-cutting!

It’s not the 40 that makes someone angry, 41 it’s the unsympathetic attitude with which it’s delivered. Everyone must 42 bad news from time to time, and winning professionals do it with the proper 43 . A doctor advising a patient that she need an operation does it in a caring way. A boss 44 an employee he didn’t get the job 45 a sympathetic tone. Big winners know, when delivering any bad news, they should share the feeling of the receiver.

Unfortunately, many people are not 46 of this. When you are tired 47 a long flight, has a hotel clerk 48 said that your room isn’t ready yet? It makes you as 49 want to land your fist right on their unsympathetic faces.

Had my neighbor told me of the upcoming 50 with sympathy, I would have appreciated his warming. Big winners, when they bear bad news, deliver bombs with the emotion the bombarded(被轰炸的）person is sure to have.

第三部分: 阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分, 满分40分）

A

Golden sunlight danced in the treetops, and children’s laughter filled the park. The smell of popcorn played on the breeze, and life seemed good. It was one of the happiest Saturday mornings I had spent with my little daughter, Gigi.

That was, until two strangers threw her into their car and sped away. It seemed like a bad dream. I could barely whisper when the police questioned me. For hours we waited, but there wasn’t any news.

“Go home, Ma’am,” the police officer said. “We’ll monitor your telephone. Trust me, we’ll find her.” After what had just happened, it was hard for me to trust anything.

My friend Gloria came over that afternoon. “I heard about Gigi on the radio. Everyone is looking for the car. The interstates are all blocked.” She took my hand and said, “Look here. I want you to have this picture and pray with me.”

It was a picture of a little girl sound asleep in her bed. Standing by the bed was a tall, blond angel. His hand was touching the girl’s shoulder as he smiled down at her.

“I’m too exhausted for any hocus-pocus right now, Gloria! I want my daughter home!” I screamed, and then began sobbing. Gloria placed the photo on our desk and knelt down beside me. “Just pray with me,” she said, holding my hand.

I had no strength left, so we prayed and waited what seemed an eternity. But the phone never rang.

Suddenly, the front door swung open. There stood Gigi. “Gigi! Thank God!” I cried, throwing my arms around her, “Where did those men take you? How did you get home? Did the police find you?”

“No Mommy!” said Gigi. “I was really scared because those men said they were taking me far away. We were going really fast. But then a tall man walked out in front of the car, and they ran off the road and hit a tree.” Then the tall man ran up and opened the car door and pulled me out. He was really nice, and said I would be okay now. He must have brought me home because then I woke up here in front of our house.”

“But who... how did he know... where to bring you?” My voice broke and trailed to a whisper.

“I don’t know, Mommy,” Gigi said.

Just then Gigi noticed Gloria’s picture on the desk. “That’s him!” She gave a loud cry, pointing at the picture. “That’s him! Except he didn’t have wings, and he was wearing blue jeans and a T-shirt. But that’s him exactly. I’d remember him anywhere!”

Later that night, the police found the injured kidnappers. When questioned, the driver remembered making a shar
