Whenever we do something wrong, Jesus Christ sees it. He loves us and doesn’t say it. Perhaps he’s wondering how long we’ll keep our mind suffering. A little boy named Johnny was visiting his grandparents on their farm and he was given a slingshot(弹弓) to play with out in the woods. He 36 for some time but he could never hit the target he had set for himself. Getting a little 37 , he walked back to the farmhouse for dinner. As he was 38 back, he saw Grandpa’s pet duck. Just out of 39 , he let the slingshot fly , hitting it in the head ,and killed it. In a panic, he 40 the dead duck in the woodpile, only to see his sister Sally 41 be watching him. Sally had seen all this, but she said 42 . After lunch that day Grandma s aid, “Sally, it’s your turn to wash the dishes.” But Sally said, “Grandma, Johnny told me he wanted to help in the kitchen.” And then she spoke 43 to him, “Remember the duck？” So Johnny did the dishes. Later that day, Grandpa asked if
44 wanted to go fishing, but Grandma said, “I’m sorry but I need Sally to help me make supper.” But Sally just smiled and said, “Well, that’s all right because Johnny told me he was too 45 to help you. And she whispered again, “Remember the duck?” So Sally went fishin g and Johnny 46 to help make supper. After several days of doing both his 47 and Sally’s, Johnny finally couldn’t 48 it any longer. He came to his Grandma and told her that he had killed the duck .Grandma smiled and gave him a big 49 . “Sweetheart, I know. You see, I was watering the flowers at the window 50 I saw you shoot my duck with the slingshot, and I saw the whole thing. But because I love you, I 51 you. I was just wondering how long you would let Sally 52_ of you.”
In reality, no matter how 53 or how uncomfortable it is to admit our wrongdoing, we should always choose to 54 it and work it through instead of running away from it. Hard as it is, it 55 us and makes us who we are.

B
Twelve years ago, when I was 50,I wondered what 60 or 70 would be like ? I looked around and saw only one style of living. It’s not fair, I thought. Young people have so many styles to choose from, but older people have just one choice. So I decided to do something about it, something practical.
I worked on my fitness by joining exercise classes in town. A few years later, my husband and I moved to a retirement community, and I wanted to teach aerobic（有
氧运动的）classes. The community center wouldn’t give me a room to teach in, so I had to walk around and find any available empty room.
One day, the community center staff came to me and asked if I would help with the entertainment for a Hawaiian luau（夏威夷式宴会）they were putting on. I said yes. Then I talked five other ladies into dancing with me. We performed the hula （呼啦舞）and a war chant and brought the house down. Someone had a camera and took pictures, and then sent them to our local paper. We got requests for more engagements, which in turn led to more publicity and yet more engagements. Soon we had invitations from all over the country. The Dancing Grannies were born!
I think the real secret of the Dancing Grannies is our attitude. I was raised extremely poor-no food poor. If we wanted toys we had to make things up to play with, so I learned early to be very creative. And you know, I think being poor was one of the best things that ever happened to me because I learned to look for treasures.
That’s what I’m still doing toda y—looking for the treasure in growing old. I’m getting better and better.
It’s true that antiques have to be treated a bit differently, with a little care, but they still have a beauty of their own.
61. What did the writer think of the living style of the older people when she was 50?
A. Unsatisfying
B. Favorable
C. Pleasant
D. Practical
62. Why did the writer have to walk around and find an empty room?
A. Because she wanted to keep fit by walking.
B. Because she couldn’t offer an expe nsive room.
C. Because she wanted to find a better one.
D.. Because she wasn’t given a room to teach in by the community center.
63. What can we infer from the writer’s performance?
A. It was just so-so.
B. It was a success.
C. It was average.
D. It was a failure.
64. What made the writer learn to look for treasures?
A. Being active
B. Being rich
C. Being poor
D. Being creative
65. What does the underlined word “antiques” (in the last paragraph) refer to?
A. Ancient treasures
B. Old people
C. The Dancing Grannies
D. Poor children
C
Americans are buying more products and services than ever before through the Internet，and the popularity of online sales is likely to spread to other countries. Online sales now represent as much as one-tenth of all retail(零售) sales in the United States，which has led traditional stores to seek new ways to keep their customers loyal.
Lynne Shaner used the Internet to buy everything she needed for her wedding and holiday gifts for her husband. Other than food, 90 percent of her purchases(购买的东西) were made on her home computer. “I find that, by being able to go online and opt for the things that I need to select and have them delivered to me right at my doorstep, I’m free from all the driving, all the crowds, all the noise, and I usually get a better selection.”
There are a lot of people like her. Experts say American online shopping hit records in both November and December. Fifty-seven percent of Americans have bought something electronically. Store owners worry that this growing amount of online sales will hurt their business. Cornell University marketing professor Ed McLaughlin says, “They should be worried. Anything that can move online will b e sold online. And it's just a matter of time. However, traditional stores can keep their customers by selling goods like clothing, which buyers may want to see and try on before purchasing. The stores could also offer things that are difficult to ship. ”
Bill Martin, whose business helps stores learn about their customers, says, “Traditional stores offer a social experience that some people enjoy. There is still a lot of emotion in the buying decision that takes place, and you can't always get that on-line. It's a rather cold process. Traditional stores can provide goods for buyers more quickly than online stores. And some retailers are using websites to persuade people to visit their stores. ”
While online shopping worries some business owners, the only worry for delivery services like FedEx and UPS is keeping up with the number of packages. UPS Manager Dana Kline says her company is very busy at this time of year. UPS is so busy that it has filled 55,000 temporary worker positions during the holiday season.
66. According to Lynne Shaner, shopping online ________.
A. offer many benefits to customers
B. will replace traditional shopping soon
C. helps choose things she needs most
D. seldom provides a better selection
67. What does the underlined ph rase “opt for” in the second paragraph mean?
A. choose
B. sell
C. design
D. purchase
68. Professor Ed McLaughlin thinks that _________.
A. online shopping has little effect on traditional stores
B. traditional stores can do nothing to stop challenges from online shopping
C. it is time for store owners to be anxious about their business
D. traditional stores should sell more things that are difficult to ship
69. What can we know from the fourth paragraph?
A. Online sales fail to offer customers sense of emotion.
B. Customers enjoy social experience when shopping online.
C. Traditional stores can help customers decide what to buy.
D. Customers can buy goods more quickly after visiting websites.
70. From the passage we can infer _______.
A. UPS has filled more worker positions than FedEx
B. business owners are concerned about delivery services
C. FedEx is keeping up with UPS on the number of packages
D. delivery services are facing more and more pressure from online sales
D
The word "conservation" has a thrifty meaning．To conserve is to save and protect, to leave what we ourselves enjoy in such a good condition that others may also share the enjoyment．Our forefathers had no idea that human population would increase faster than the supplies of raw materials: most of them, even until very recently, had the
foolish idea that the treasures were "limitless" and could "last forever". Most of the citizens of earlier generations knew little or nothing about the complicated and delicate system that runs all through nature, and which means that, as in a living body, an unhealthy condition of one part will sooner or later be harmful to all the others.
Fifty years ago, nature study was not part of the school work; scientific forestry was a new idea; wood was still cheap because it could be brought in any quantity from distant woodlands; soil destruction and river floods were not national problems; nobody had yet studied long-term climatic cycles in relation to proper land use; even the word "conservation" had nothing of the meaning that it has for us today. For the sake of ourselves and those who will come after us, we must now set about correcting the mistakes of our forefathers．Conservation should be made part of everybody's daily life．To know about the water table in ground is just as important to us as a knowledge of the basic math formulas．We need to know why all watersheds（上游集水区） need the protection of plant life and why the running current of streams and rivers must be made to give their fall benefit to the soil before they finally escape to the sea．We need to be taught the duty of planting trees as well as of cutting them．We need to know the importance of big, grown trees, because living space for most of man’s fell ow creatures on this planet is damaged not only in square measure of surface but also in cubic（立方体的）volume above the earth. In a word, it should be our goal to restore as much of the original beauty of nature as we can.
71．The author's attitude towards the use of natural resources is _____．
A．positive B．uninterested C．optimistic D．critical
72．According to the author, the greatest mistake of our forefathers was that .
A．they had no idea about scientific forestry
B．they had little or no sense of environmental protection
C．they were not aware of the importance of nature study
D．they had no idea of how to make good use of raw materials 73．To avoid repeating the mistakes of our forefathers, the author suggests that _____.
A．environmental education be directed toward everyone
B．we plant more trees
C．natural sciences be taught to everybody
D．we return to nature
74．How can you understand the underlined sentence in the last paragraph?
A．Our living space on the earth is getting smaller and smaller．
B．We must preserve good living conditions for both birds and animals．
C．We need to take some measures to protect space．
D．Our living space should be measured in cubic volume．
75. Which of the following is likely to consist with the main idea of the passage?
A. Many hands make light work
B. All rivers run into the sea
C. A bit more green, more than a chance.
D. Save for a rainy day

（请注意题后的字数要求）
(1) My name is Amy. I’m a 25-year-old graduate student who likes yoga, home-decorating shows and eating spoonfuls of peanut butter straight from the jar.
Oh yeah, and I’m an iPhone addict.
(2) I wasn’t always an addict. In fact, for many years I told myself I didn’t want a fancy cellphone. They seemed like too much work, always beeping, ringing and demanding attention. I was perfectly content with my simple antique, and I didn’t anticipate changing my mind any time soon.
(3) However, about a year ago, I found myself envious of all those proud iPhone owners, cradling their shiny new phones and showing them off to all their friends.
(4) Eventually I couldn’t ignore my iPhone instinct any longer, and I welcomed my new iPhone into my life. I instantly fell in love with the little bundle of joy, and could no longer imagine a life without it.
(5) To my surprise, I suddenly found myself with a whole new circle of friends—other iPhone owners I could go to for advice and support as I learned the various functions of my new device. They responded to my iPhone-related questions when my other friends couldn’t, and didn’t roll their eyes when I boasted (自夸) about all the things it could do.
(6) My iPhone became my best friend. It slept right beside me and was the first thing I reached for in the morning. I checked my e-mail about 20 times a day. I also experienced attachment anxiety when I left it in the change room at the gym. ___________ she beeped and needed my response? Or, even worse, what if a careless gym-goer knocked her out of my bag and caused her screen to (I hardly dared to imagine it) crack?
(7) Reflecting upon the past few months, I couldn’t believe I was addicted to my iPhone.
76. List Amy’s favorite things before becoming an iPhone addict.(no more than 10 words)
_____________________________________________________________________
77. Why, for many years, didn’t Amy consider buying an iPhone? (no more than 15 words)

As is vividly shown in the picture, a boy is happy with the fact that he can depend on the Internet to finish tasks without any difficulty. It mirrors a common phenomenon. Nowadays, students tend to make use of the Internet to gain information they need.
There are some reasons accounting for it. To begin with, students find it convenient to surf the Internet for useful information, where problems can be solved with the help of several clicks. What’s more, there’s no doubt that the pressure to succeed also causes students to turn to computers for accurate answers. As a result,
it’s likely that students will lose interes t in studying, which is not beneficial to their overall development.
In my opinion, measures must be taken to solve the problem. Firstly, it is vital that students gain confidence in themselves and their abilities while doing tasks. Besides, what teachers and parents should do is encourage students to be creative. Finally, doing tasks independently is of great significance.。
