Ⅲ.閱讀理解
BELIEVE it or not，
the color of the tie Barack Obama wore to the inauguration
(就職典禮)
is a hotly debated topic.
The level of public interest in Obama's tie might seem strange but many people believe his choice will symbolize the type of government he plans to run，
as the color of a politician's tie is thought to convey ideas of power，
trustworthiness and more.
Policies of ties
It may be the least practical item of male dress，
but it is arguably the most expressive. In the UK and many other countries around the world，
conservative
(保守的 )
politicians may wear a blue tie and their liberal opponents a red one. In America，
the colors go the other way round. The Republicans have in recent years become associated with the color red，
and the Democrats with blue. But in spite of this，
Bush wears blue ties more often than any other color.
What they mean
According to Sharon Haver，
editor of focusonstyle. com，
in America the feelings associated with colors overrule their political significance. “A guy who wants to be regarded as strong and in charge would wear red，
” Haver says. Unsurprisingly，
the business tycoon Donald Trump is known for wearing red ties. But what about blue？ According to Haver，
“Blue is a softer color…Look at the sky.
It's peaceful and calm and trustworthy.”
Selecting the right tie for the right occasion
●Perfect job
interview tie
Perhaps no other tie-wearing occasion is as important as the job interview.
Gilchrist，
the fashion expert，
advises playing it safe and choosing a conservative one.
Best choices are solids，
stripes or small patterns. An excellent color is burgundy(深紅色) or another serious color. Avoid pink or yellow，
which suggests that the wearer lacks gravity.
Pattern ties，
Gilchrist suggests，
should be limited to a maximum of three colors. A striped tie is a safe choice as this is acceptable to everyone. Last，
Gilchrist recommends saving the expensive “hip” tie for those applying for glamorous creative jobs.
●Date-night tie
When picking out the right tie for taking a girl out on a date，
spend more time considering color than pattern. According to studies，
women are attracted to men wearing the color blue，
because blue gives the image of a “stable，
faithful，
constant，
always there” person. So what is the worst color to wear on a date？ “ Flattened caterpillar (毛蟲)
yellow-green，
” according to Gilchrist， “ it will repel both sexes equally.”
31．Why are people interested in the tie that Obama wore to the inauguration？
A．Because they think the tie he wore will enable them to know about his personalities and policies.
B．Because they want to advise him how to select an appropriate tie for such a big occasion.
C．Because they think the tie will tell if he is trustworthy as they expected when he assumes office.
D．Because they believe the tie is an essential part of dressing to a mature politician like Obama.
32．What can we infer about Bush，
the former president，
from the passage？
A．He was probably liberal in his policies when he was in power.
B．He was a Republican when he served as president.
C．He wore only blue ties and had no ties of alternative colors.
D．He wanted to make himself unique by the tie that he wore.
33．The example of “the business tycoon Donald Trump” is given to ________.
A．prove that color reflects people's feelings to a certain degree
B．show that Donald is so wealthy that he can afford expensive ties
C．tell that Donald is physically strong and can handle everything
D．explain that red is a popular color，
especially with businessmen
34．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text？
A．Ties can be ignored by politicians since they are the least practical item of male dress.
B．Do choose ties carefully before dating，
because it is the most important occasion.
C．Why to avoid pink or yellow ties in job interviews is that they don't match the atmosphere. D．The more colorful the tie is，
the more likely you'll get the job you want.

課時作業(四十)
.1.A 本題考查動詞辨析。quit smoking＝stop smoking，意為“戒煙”。
2．D 本題考查名詞辨析和常用搭配。keep pace with跟上。句意為：為了跟上新發展的腳步，科學家們不得不努力工作。keep in touch with與……保持聯系，了解(情況)；keep company(with)與……來往；keep track of通曉事態，了解動向。
3．C 本題考查非謂語動詞。此處非謂語動詞作方式狀語，邏輯主語是the match，非謂語動詞與邏輯主語之間是被動關系，且其動作已經完成，故用過去分詞，選C。
4．A 本題考查動詞搭配。B項(spend)和D項(provide)不符合動詞用法。spend (time/money) on sth./(in) doing sth.，provide sb. with sth./provide sth. for sb.，因此可以先排除。C項(offer主動提供)意思不符。devote (time/effort/one's life, etc. ) to sth./sb.或者devote oneself to sth./sb.，意為“把……奉獻給，把……專用于”。句意為：這位母親雖然工作很忙，但還是把很多時間花在子女身上。
5．C 本題考查交際用語。該對話是醫生與病人之間的對話，當醫生聽到病人的病情介紹之后，在診斷前醫生通常會安慰一下病人，使病人不至于過分緊張。所以應用“take it easy(別緊張)”等來對病人表示安慰。
6．A 本題考查定語從句。分析句子結構可以知道，兩空均為定語從句結構，第一個定語從句中缺少謂語動詞see的賓語，故第一空應用關系代詞 that，which 或省略不填；第二個的定語從句中缺表語，故只能用that 連接，不可用which，且不可省略，the one that相當于what。
7．C 本題考查動詞短語辨析。take up開始學，從事； get on 上車，相處，進展； pick up拾起，學會，收聽到，搭車；turn on打開。根據句子意思，應選擇pick up，表示搭乘(出租車)。
8．A 本題考查名詞辨析。四個詞都可以表示“方法”，但是只有approach可以和to搭配。其余三項接of，way還可以加不定式。
9．C 本題考查非謂語動詞。remain 在there be 結構中用作后置定語。由于remain是不及物動詞，故應用現在分詞remaining，相當于定語從句that remains；因為問題是被“解決”的，故應用不定式的被動結構來表示。
10．C 根據上下文語境及講話人語氣可知，選項動作表示經過努力才完成。在這種語氣的肯定句和疑問句中，常用“be able to”表達，在否定句中也可用“can”。
