第三部分：阅读理解（共50分）
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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
One day while shopping in a small town in southern California，it was my misfortune to be approached by a clerk whose personality conflicted with mine. He seemed most unfriendly and not at all concerned about my intended purchase. I bought nothing，and marched angrily out of the store. My hostility toward that clerk increased with each step.
On the outside，standing by the road，was a dark-skinned young man in his early twenties.
His expressive brown eyes met and held mine，and in the next instant a beautiful, dazzling smile covered his face. I gave way immediately. The magnetic power of that smile dissolved all bitterness within me，and I found the muscles in my own face happily responding.
“Beautiful day，isn't it？”I remarked，in passing. Then，I turned back.“I really owe you a debt of gratitude，”I said softly.
His smile deepened, but he made no attempt to answer．A Mexican woman and two men were standing nearby．The woman stepped forward and volunteered, \but he doesn't speak English．Do you want me to tell him something?\．The young man's smile had made a big person of me．My friendliness and good will toward all mankind stood ten feet tall． \．
I gave her arm a friendly pat as I turned to leave．\tell him that,\I insisted．%understand．I am sure !\
3

B
I was going to die in Antarctica, I was certain．An image of my frost-covered body, pale and lifeless, filled my mind as I glanced around．In all directions the empty wilderness of Antarctica stretched away from me, the only feature on the landscape was the division between snow and sky．I gazed sadly at my team．They were rapidly disappearing over the horizon．
I was leading an expedition （探险） attempting to reach the south pole．The team was made up of ordinary women from all around the world----from Jamaica, India, Singapore and Cyprus-many of whom had never seen snow, or spent a night in a tent, before we set off．Our aim was to be the most international all-female team to reach the South Pole．
As I watched, the rest of the team had marched on, unaware that I was not with them．By the time I realized that my sledge(雪橇) was firmly trapped, the team were already a long way ahead of me．I called out to Era, my teammate,\
Getting no response I called again, but my shouts were carried away in the opposite direction by the wind．Seconds passed．Nothing．I was gradually being left alone, completely defenseless against the low temperatures of Antarctica．
My strength increased when I thought of a cold, lonely death．I pulled again my sledge, which moved a little．I removed the ice with my ski-pole(滑雪杖) and boot, desperately trying to break the sledge free．The sledge shot forward, knocking me off balance．I struggled to my feet and set off after the team．
I caught up just as Reena, my teammate from India, looked behind her and noticed there was one person missing．She swung around on her skis in shock and spotted me in the near distance．
As we continued, my panic slowly faded．For the rest of the day, each of the team was glancing over their shoulder every few minutes．They were not going to risk losing me again． 46．From the first paragraph we can safely infer that the author ． A．disliked her team B．got seriously ill C．was in panic D．lost her way

C
You're happy to let your best friend borrow your mountain bike, but would you be willing to loan it out to a total stranger if you could make some money off the arrangement?
That's the idea behind peer-to-peer （P2P） renting, a new model conducted by sites such as eBay and Craigslist．Instead of selling an idle （闲置） thing, you loan it to people in your town, get paid a small rental fee and get it back when the borrower's done with it．In the past few years, almost a dozen websites have popped up piwmsing to connect lenders and borrowers．For instance, you can use GetAround to rent out your car or motorcycle, SnapGoods to rent out electronics and gadgets(小装置), ToolSpinner to rent electric drills and lawnmowers, Zaarly and Knb to rent out a little bit of everything else．
Old as it may sound, P2P renting is more high-tech than before, with websites that avoid cash for credit cards．A user creates an online listing for the item she wants to rent out, choosing her own rental fee．When someone wants the item, he keeps it on an online calendar, and the two arrange a time and place for pickup．Each site operates a little differently, but all use technology to make renting easy, safe and relatively inexpensive．
Why rent your stuff? You may not make a ton of money, but it is a good way to get some use, out of idle things．The people who rent those goods are able to save thousands of dollars by renting instead of buying new．
There may be other benefits．\JustSharclt's spokesperson．\more important, we're really connecting people and building community, too．\ Get to know your neighbors and make a few bucks （dollars） in the process? Sounds like a
good deal．
51．The new model of peer-to-peer renting helps people ______. A．make better use of their idle things B．share ideas on the Internet C．keep up with high-tech trend D．earn tons of money in a special way 52．GetAround, SnapGoods, ToolSpinner, Zaarly and Krrb are all . A．the companies selling idle things B．the special people good at P2P renting C．the websites for P2P renting D．the courses to teach people to do P2P renting 53．What does the third paragraph mainly talk about?
