选项，并在答题纸上将该选项标号涂黑。

Three packs of cigarettes were lying there on the pavement. I went down from Shubentsov’s office doorstep, picked them up and pocketed them. Later, in a bar, when I opened the first pack, I found – to my 21 – the twenty cigarettes were there.

I’m still at the bar, telephone in one 22 and the cigarettes in the other. I’m dialing Shubentsov, who told me to call the moment I felt the urge to 23 . I feel it, feel it even 24 than I felt Shubentsov’s healing(恢复) energy. That’s saying something, since Shubentsov is known around the world for 25 smokers of their nasty habit, using a 26 method. He sent his healing energy from his fingertips, he tells me – something he picked up from another man in Russia. “I help you for free,” he told me in his muddy accent. “Just call me 27 .”

I went to see Shubentsov. I think it’s time to 28 because I’m getting old, and I can’t keep doing this to myself. But here’s the real problem. I should quit, but like a lot of you 29 with the same habit, I really don’t want to.

Smoking has been very good to me. Cigarettes have never let me down, never abandoned me on 30 , desperate nights. Smoking 31 my head, helps me 32 . Smoking has started conversations, driven away annoying people. Smoking helps me celebrate victories, get over losses, comfort the comfortless. It also chases away the mosquitoes.

I will 33 . Soon. My body and my mind are demanding that , daily.

I claim to smoke for pleasure, but I realise that slowly I’m losing control of this close, special friend. I 34 that. I realise it’s not just a “habit”. I’m 35 .

So here I am, attempting to 36 again, at Shubentsov’s place. I’ve tried all the other quitting techniques 37 . Anytime the urge to smoke 38 , he said, just call him immediately and he’ll help. The funny thing is, I realise that I’m not phoning him to stop me from lighting up. I’m phoning him so I can. If I call, I’ll have done my part. Then I can smoke this cigarette. Besides, I know that at 9.30 on a Friday night, I’ll get the answering machine. I do. “The office is open from ten to four. Call me back then. This machine does not take messages.”

I put the phone down and I can honestly say I’m 39 . You see, it’s not Shubentsov’s fault or anyone else’s fault that I’m still 40 . It’s mine.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to smoke this cigarette. Whether I’ll really enjoy it, though, is another story.

21.A. sadness B. disappointment C. inspiration D. delight

22. A. pack B. hand C. pocket D. bar

23.A. smoke B. talk C. drink D. dial

24.A. weaker B. faster C. stronger D. harder

25.A. accusing B. helping C. developing D. curing

26.A. popular B. mysterious C. frightening D. dangerous

27.A. whenever B. whatever C. however D. whichever

28. A. start B. continue C. stop D. keep

29. A. struggling B. beating C. hitting D. playing

30.A.lovely B. friendly C. lonely D. daily

31.A. destroys B. hurts C. cuts D. clears

32.A. breathe B. smile C. see D. think

33.A. begin B. quit C. report D. study

34.A. hate B. love C. ignore D. miss

35.A. ill B. excited C. addicted D. fascinated

36. A. give in B. give up C. give off D. give away

37.A. available B. alike C. abnormal D. additional

38.A.strikes B. attacks C. indicates D. continues

39.A.disappointed B. unhappy C. satisfied D. relieved

40.A.living B. working C. smoking D. smiling

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

A

Computer games have been criticised for quite some time over a whole range of issues. Some people say they are overly violent and encourage violent behaviour particularly in children. Others say that they make children unsociable and are bad for their eyes. Some have even attributed falling standards of literacy and a lack of interest in reading on them. Now, however, it seems that computer games have also become a feminist(女权主义者) issue.

Game manufacturers have, for some time, been looking to increase the number of female game players. The vast majority of computer games still sell to a mainly male market. Perhaps this is because the violent nature of many of the games appeals more to males or perhaps because many of the main characters in the games are male. Manufacturers' attempts to produce more female characters increase their share of the female gaming market which has met with serious criticism from many women's groups.

While heroines(女英雄) such as Lara Croft of the Tomb Raider game are seen as providing positive role models of strong women, many believe that the character's unrealistic Barbies are subconsciously setting unattainable standards in the minds of young women. Perhaps a stronger criticism is that although many games now include female characters, their role is often secondary and they support the main, male, action characters within the games. Of course the nature of many of the games remains violent and destructive and this in itself could well continue to put off female gamers.

There are now, however, a number of web sites springing up on the World Wide Web to help women deal with this issue. Sites such as Game Girlz, Women Gamers and Game Gal offer game reviews, articles, discussion forums and even employment opportunities for women interested in becoming part of the rapidly expanding games industry. The games are reviewed by women from a very female perspective. Some rate the games from one to ten across a range of criteria which include the appearance of the female characters, the degree of intelligence a
