第二部分: 阅读理解（第一节20小题，第二节5小题；每小题2分，满分50分）

第一节: 阅读下列材料，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该选项标号涂黑。

A

A person, like a commodity, needs packaging. But going too far is absolutely undesirable. A little exaggeration(夸张) will do no harm when it shows the person’s unique qualities to their advantages. To show personal attractiveness in a casual and natural way, it is important for one to have a clear knowledge of oneself. A skilled packager knows how to add art to nature without any signs of embellishment so that the person so packaged is not a commodity, but a human being, lively and lovely.

A young person, especially a female, shining with beauty and full of life, has all the favor granted. Youth however, comes and goes in a flash. Packaging for the middle-aged is primarily to hide the marks made by years. If you still enjoy life enough to keep self-confidence and work at pioneering work, you are unique in your natural qualities, and your attractiveness and grace will remain. Elderly people are beautiful if their river of life has been, through plains, mountains and jungles, running its course as it should. You have really lived your life, which now arrives at a self - satisfied stage of quietness and calmness with no interest in fame or wealth. There is no need to make use of hair dyeing. The snow-capped mountain itself is a beautiful scene of fairyland. Let your looks change from young to old in step with the natural ageing process so as to keep in harmony with nature, for harmony itself is beauty, while the other way round will only end in unpleasantness. To be in the company of the elderly is like reading a thick book of good edition, which attracts one so much that one is unwilling to part with it. As long as one finds where one stands, one knows how to package oneself, just as a commodity sets up its brand by the right packaging.

41. The underlined word in the first paragraph is closest to the word ______ in meaning.

A. decoration B. clarification C. movement D. identification

42. It can be concluded from the text that ______.

A. people should be packaged at all ages

B. people should be packaged in a special way

C. elderly people also care about packaging

D. proper packaging makes people attractive

43. For the middle-aged, attractiveness ______ .

A. hardly exists B. is the strongest

C. comes from the inside D. comes from the appearance

44. According to the author, if you want to keep in harmony with nature, you should ______.

A. dye your hair B. make up at a young age

C. follow the ageing process D. give up fame and wealth

45. The underlined sentence means that elderly people ______.

A. are usually packaged like a finely-made book

B. experience a lot and have rich knowledge of life

C. do a lot of traveling and can give you much information

D. enjoy reading thick books about beautiful nature and fairyland

B

The Norwegian Government is doing its best to keep the oil industry under control. A new law limits exploration to an area south of the southern end of the long coastline; production limits have been laid down (though these have already been raised); and oil companies have not been allowed to employ more than a limited number of foreign workers. But the oil industry has a way of getting over such problems, and few people believe that the Government will be able to hold things back for long. As one Norwegian politician said last week: “ We will soon be changed beyond all recognition.”

Ever since the war, the Government has been carrying out a program of development in the area north of the Arctic Circle. During the past few years this program has had
