第二部分 阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在
答题爷上将该项涂黑。
（A）
It was an early September day, cool and bright and just right for running, and I was in the first few miles of a l0--mile race over a course with a few high hills．Still, I felt energetic, despite the hills．It was going to be a fine run．
Just ahead of me was Peggy Mimno, a teacher from Mount Kiseo, New York．She too was running easily, moving along at my speed．The pace felt comfortable, so I decided to stay where I was; why pay attention to pace when she was setting such a nice one? I'd overtake（追上） her later on when she was tired．
So I ran behind her．The course headed north for miles, wandered west for a hilly mile, then turned south again along a winding road．The race was getting harder．We had four miles left and already it was beginning to be real work．
Peggy overtook a young runner．She seemed to know him, for they exchanged a few cheerful words as she passed him．Their exchange worried me．You don't chat during a race unless you feel good, and Peggy plainly was．
Still, I was close enough to overtake her if she was tired, so I didn't give up hope completely．We were getting nearer to a long, punishing hill now and it would be the test．We were a mile from the finishing line, so whatever happened on the hill would almost determine who crossed it first．
As I moved up the hill, my attention wandered for a few minutes．When I looked up, Peggy was moving away--first five yards, then ten, then more．Finally it was clear that there was no help of catching her．She beat me soundly．
There is an important lesson in that race．Women are thought to be weaker, slower and not nearly as skilled in sports．Yet as Peggy Mimno so clearly showed, the similarities between men and women runners are more important than differences．I have run with a number of women, and I can say it is often hard work．
46．What did the writer think of the race in the beginning?
A．It would be hard work．
B．It would be an easy race．
C．It would be a test of his strength．
D．It would be a good learning experience．
47．What worried the writer when Peggy greeted the young runner?
A．Peggy overtook the young runner．
B．Peggy was running energetically．
C．Peggy was laughing as the writer．
D．Peggy paid no attention to the writer．
48．By saying "a long, punishing hill" （paragraph 5 ）, the writer implies that _____________ ．
A．Peggy would fail to reach the hilltop
B．men are more skilled at climbing hills
C．overtaking Peggy would be easy
D．climbing the hill would be a demanding task
49．What lesson does the writer learn from the race?
A．Women are as good as men in sports．
B．Women are better at climbing hills．
C．He should have more training in a cross-country race．
D．He should set a quicker pace at the beginning of a race．
（B）
Australia －a huge island continent that lies to the south of Asia．Australia－more than two hundred years old, a nation that is still growing．
Its big cities lie on the southeast coast, this is where most Australians live．Australians prefer to own their own houses, though some live in apartments．Australians are a suburban people．The suburbs surround the cities for many miles, and so efficient transport is of great importance．As the economy grows, so do its industries- a higher level of production, a wider range of products．
The Australian works hard, but he likes his leisure．The climate makes outdoor activities the most popular．
Canberra, the capital of Australia, is a planned modem city located inland．Australia is governed by a parliamentary democracy．The representatives of other countries have their embassies here．Australia wants to strengthen relations with her neighbors．
Australia is a strange land, a land of vast expanses- fertile valleys, snow fields and deserts- also a land with unique animal, many that can not be found on any other continent in the world today．
Much of the continent is dry, but man has utilized the land, made it productive, with its tools, with its technology．This is the driest continent of all, and water is a precious possession, more precious than all other natural resources．Large dams are built to collect the water, there to irrigate the fields of pastures and crops．
But Australia is changing．The land of wool and wheat is now a land of large-scale industry and mining．The costs of developing the new mineral discoveries are enormous, but the rewards are great too．
Australia — a young and developing nation．Australia — a nation that wants to communicate with its neighbors．
50．Australia is an island located ______ of Asia and its big cities lie ____ of the coast．
A．to the south; on the southeast B．to the north; on the southwest
C．to the east; on the northeast D．to the east; on the southwest

People can be addicted to（沉溺于） different things — e．g．alcohol, drug, certain foods, or even television．People who have such an addiction are compulsive（强迫的）: they have a very powerful psychological need that they feel they must satisfy．According to psychologists, many people are compulsive spenders．They feel that they must spend money．This compulsion, like most others, is impossible to explain reasonably．For compulsive spenders who buy on credit（以赊欠方式）, charge accounts are even more exciting than money．In other words, compulsive spenders feel that with credit, they can do anything．Their pleasure in spending large amounts is actually greater than the pleasure that they get from the things they buy．
There is even a special psychology of bargain hunting．To save money, of course, most people look for sales, low prices, and discounts．Compulsive bargain hunters, however, often buy things that they don’t need just because they are cheap．They want to believe that they are helping their budgets（预算）, but they are really playing an exciting game．When they can buy something for less than other people, they feel that they are winning．Most people, experts claim, have two reasons for their behavior: a good reason for the things that they do and the real reason．
It is not only scientists, of course, who understand the psychology of spending habits, but also business people．Stores, companies, and advertisers use psychology to increase business．They consider people’s needs for love, power, or influence, their basic values, their beliefs and opinions, and so on in their advertising and sales methods．
Psychologists often use a method called “behavior therapy（疗法）” to help individuals solve their personal problems．In the same way, they can help people who feel that they have problems with money．
54．According to the psychologists, a compulsive spender is one who spends large amounts of money _____．
A．and takes great pleasure from what he or she buys

B．Business people and advertisers can use the psychology of people’s spending habits to increase sales．

D．Compulsive bargain hunters do not have problems with money．
56．What is the text mainly about?
A．The psychology of money-spending habits．
B．The habits of compulsive spenders．
C．A special psychology of bargain hunting．
D．The use of the psychology of spending habits in business．
57．From the text we may safely conclude that compulsive spenders or compulsive bargain hunters _____．
