其次部分　阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)
第一节　(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30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。
A
My husband Desmond was once a financial planner.Even though he couldn’t balance our budge，his clients trusted him completely and he made them feel secure.In exchange they paid him very well.We had a nice life then.At that time，my yoga studio(瑜伽馆)was just starting to make a profit，and I had recently decorated it.At last，I was in control of my working life and poured my heart and soul into making it succeed.
When we first met，I fell hard for Desmond right away，although I wouldn’t call it love I’d never been with a man who was smarter than I was，but after a while I got used to this，and it didn’t bother me so much.I was recovering from a broken heart and needed something to help me move on.If it wasn’t love，it was good enough，and when he asked me to marry him I jumped at the chance，knowing that it might be my last.
Things started out so well.I was working steadily and Desmond was patiently climbing up the ladder in his department.Then，without any warning，one gray winter afternoon in year five，he just upped and left his desk at the bank，handed in his resignation，and came home and told me he wanted to start an interior design business.
He has always loved mixing and matching，and has a real eye for color，texture，and shape，but the idea of turning a hobby into a business wasn’t something we had ever discussed.I thought the stress of his job was becoming too much and perhaps he would take a few months off over the spring and summer to relax and get the idea out of his system，I didn’t believe he could be serious.But once he had a few clients，he began to draw up plans，ordering catalogues and turning our empty workshop into a kind of makeshift studio with all of his sketches pinned to the wall.After spending a lot of time and money on all of this preparation，and really doing quite a nice job of it，he called each client in turn and apologized，saying he wouldn’t be able to design their living spaces after all.
36．The woman in the passage________.
A．fell in love with Desmond at first sight
B．managed a yoga studio with her husband
C．felt really uncomfortable with a smart man
D．married Desmond because of heart attack
37．His wife thought Desmond suddenly quit his job because he________.
A．couldn’t wait to be promoted
B．had experience in interior design
C．couldn’t bear the pressure from his job
D．wanted to do something he enjoyed
38．The woman ________ her husband’s decision.
A．was supportive of
B．was uninterested in
C．was satisfied with
D．was negative about
39．It can be inferred from the last paragraph that Desmond ________.
A．was more likely to change his mind
B．would return to his office in the bank
C．made a big business in interior design
D．was not well prepared for his business
B
Are you an optimist? Do you look at your glass and see it as half full？Do you believe that every cloud has a silver lining and that generally things turn out for the best? Do you believe that if something is meant to be，it will be? If you reply “yes” to all of these questions，then you are an optimist.You probably are enthusiastic，cheerful and outgoing.You may well be successful at work and in love.
But you may be misguided because things don’t turn out for the best.You may believe that when one door closes，another one opens(for example，you may fail to land a new job，another chance will come around soon)．Wrong.When one door closes，another door slams in your face.That’s bitter reality.
Now a book has been published which confirms what we pessimists(悲观者)have suspected all along.It’s called The Positive Power of Defensive Pessimism.Its author argues that defensive pessimism can lead to positive results.Defensive pessimism is a strategy used to manage fear，anxiety and worry.Defensive pessimists prepare for things by setting low outcomes for themselves.They carefully consider everything that may go wrong and plan for ways to handle these problems.And this gives them a sense of control.Lawrence Sanno，a psychology professor，says，“What’s interesting about defensive pessimists is that they tend to be very successful people，so their low opinion of the situation’s outcomes is not realistic.They use it to motivate themselves to perform better.”
So far，so good.This_is_not_rocket_science.Defensive pessimists prepare carefully and consider what might go wrong，whether at work，on a date or even in a sports game.It makes sense to have a back－up plan.There are many sayings in English urging caution.For example，“Don’t put all your eggs in one basket，” and “Don’t count your chickens until they hatch.” To have a confident and optimistic approach to life’s problems is good.But listen to what Woody Alien，the American comedian says ，“Confidence is what you have before you understand the problem.”
There are pros and cons to being an optimist and a pessimist.Don’t feel bad if you see the glass half empty.You are a realist.But lighten up and hook up with someone who sees the same glass half full.
40．What is the passage mainly about?
A．The benefits of defensive pessimism.
B．How to become successful in life.
C．A book that has recently been published.
D．The dangers of being too optimistic.
41．The underlined sentence “This is not rocket science” in Paragraph 4 means________.
A．the cost is not so high
B．there is no real proof
C．it’s not a dangerous thing to do
D．it is quite simple to understand
42．The writer would probably describe himself as____
A．a success　　　　　　 B．a failure
C．a realist D．a scientist
43．Which of the following English expressions would a defensive pessimist believe?
A．Whatever will be，will be.
B．The glass is half full not half empty.
C．Every cloud has a silver lining.
D．Don’t put all your eggs in one basket.

Would the world be more peaceful if women were in charge？A challenging new book by the Harvard University psychologist Steven Pinker says that the answer is “yes”．
In The Better Angels of Our Nature，Pinker presents data showing that human violence，while still very much with us today, has been gradually declining.Moreover，he says，“over the long sweep of history，women have been and will be a peaceful force.Traditional war is a man’s game: tribal women never band together to attack neighboring villages.”As mothers, women tend to maintain peaceful conditions in which to bring up their children.
Skeptics(怀疑者)immediately reply that women have not made war simply because they have rarely been in power.If they were empowered as leaders，the disorder of the world would force them to make the same warlike decisions that men do.Margaret Thatcher，Golda Meir，and Indira Gandhi were powerful women；all of them led their countries to war.But it is also true that these women rose to leadership by playing according to the political rules of “a man’s world”．It was their success consistent with(与……全都) male values that enabled their rise to leadership in the first place.In a world in which women were in the majority of leadership positions，they might behave differently in power.
So we
