AA city child’s summer is spent in the street in front of his home, and all through the long summer vacations I sat on the edge of the street and watched enviously the other boys on the block play baseball. I was never asked to take part even when one team had a member missing—not out of specialcruelty, but because they took it for granted I would be no good at it. They were right, of course.I would never forget the wonderful evening when something changed. The baseball ended about eight or eight thirty when it grew dark. Then it was the custom of the boys to retire to a little stoop(门廊) that stuck out from the candy store on the corner and that somehow had become theirs. No grownup ever sat there or attempted to. There the boys would sit, mostly talking about the games played during the day and of the game to be played tomorrow. Then long silences would fall and the boys would wander off one by one. It was just after one of those long silences that my life as an outsider changed.I can no longer remember which boy it was that summer evening who broke the silence with a question: but whoever he was, I nod to him gratefully now. “What’s in those books you’re always reading” he asked casually. “Stories,” I answered. “What kind” asked somebody else wit hout much interest.Nor do I know what drove me to behave as I did, for usually I just sat there in silence, glad enough to be allowed to remain among them; but instead of answering his question, I told them for two hours the story I was reading at the moment. The book was Sister Carrie. They listened bug-eyed and breathless. I must have told it well, but I think there was another and deeperreason that made them to keep an audience. Listening to a tale being told in the dark is one of the most ancient of man’s entertainments, but I was offering them as well, without being aware of doing it, a new and exciting experience.The books they themselves read were the Rover Boys or Tom Swift or I had read them too, but at thirteen I had long since left them behind. Since I was much alone I had become an enthusiastic reader and I had gone through the books-for-boys series. In those days there was no reading material between children’s and grownups’ books or I could find none. I had gone right from Tome Swift and His Flying Machine to Theodore Dreiser and Sister Carrie. Dreiser had hit my young mind, and they listened to me tell the story with some of the wonder that I had had in reading it.The next night and many nights thereafter, a kind of unspoken ritual (仪式) took place. As it grew dark, I would take my place in the center of the stoop and begin the evening’s tale. Some nights, in order to taste my victory more completely, I cheated. I would stop at the most exciting part of a story by Jack London or Bret Harte, and without warning tell them that that was as far as I had gone in the book and it would have to be continued the following evening. It was not true, of course; but I had to make certain of my new-found power and position. I enjoyed the long summer evenings untilschool began in the fall. Other words of mine have been listened to by larger and more fashionable audiences, but for that tough and athletic one that sat close on the stoop outside the candy store, I have an unreasoning love that will last forever.1. Watching the boys playing baseball, the writer must have felt ________.A. bitter and lonelyB. special and differentC. pleased and excitedD. disturbed and annoyed2. The writer feels grateful even now to the boy who asked the question because the boy ________.A. invited him to join in their gameB. liked the book that he was readingC. broke the long silence of that summer eveningD. offered him an opportunity that changed his life3. According to Paragraph 3, story-telling was popular among the boys basically because ________.A. the story was from a children’s bookB. listening to tales was an age-old prac ticeC. the boys had few entertainments after darkD. the boys didn’t read books by themselvesboys were attracted to Sister Carrie because ________.A. it was written by Theodore DreiserB. it was specifically targeted at boysC. it gave them a deeper feeling of pleasureD. it talked about the wonders of the world5. So metimes the writer stopped at the most exciting part of a story to _______.A. play a mean trick on the boysB. experience more joy of achievementC. add his own imagination to the storyD. help the boys understand the story better6. What is the message conveyed in the storyA. One can find his position in life in his own way.B. Friendship is built upon respect for each other.C. Reading is more important than playing games.D. Adult habits are developed from childhood.BIn 1978, I was 18 and was working as a nurse in a small town about 270 km away from Sydney, Australia. I was looking forward to having five days off from duty. Unfortunately, the only one train a day back to my home in Sydney had already left. So I thought I’d hitch a ride (搭便车).I waited by the side of the highway for three hours but no one stopped for me. Finally, a man walked over and introduced himself as Gordon. He said that although he couldn’t give me a lift, I should come back to his house for lunch. He noticed me standing for hours in the November heat and thought I must be hungry. I was doubtful as a young girl but he assured （使…放心）me I was safe, and he also offered to help me find a lift home afterwards. When we arrived at his house, he made us sandwiches. After lunch, he helped me find a lift home.Twenty-five years later, in 2003, while I was driving to a nearby townone day, I saw an elderly man standing in the glaring heat, trying to hitch a ride. I thought it was another chance to repay someone for the favour I’d been given decades earlier. I pulled over and picked him up. I made him comfortable on the back seat and offered him some water.After a few moments of small talk, the man said to me, “You haven’t changed a bit, even your red hair is still the same.”I couldn’t remember where I’d met him. He then told me he was the man who had given me lunch and helped me find a lift all those years ago. It was Gordon.7. The author had to hitch a ride one day in 1978 because .A. her work delayed her trip to SydneyB. she was going home for her holidaysC. the town was far away from SydneyD. she missed the only train back home8. Which of the following did Gordon do according to Paragraph 2？A. He helped the girl find a ride.B. He gave the girl a ride back home.C. He bought sandwiches for the girl.D. He watched the girl for three hours.9. The reason why the author offered a lift to the elderly man was that .A. she realized he was GordonB. she had known him for decadesC. she was going to the nearby townD. she wanted to repay the favour she once got10. What does the author want to tell the readers through the story？A. Giving sometimes produces nice results.B. Those who give rides will be rapid.C. Good manners bring about happiness.D. People should offer free rides to others.CWhat makes a gift special Is it the price you see on the gift receipt Or is it the look on the recipient's face when they receive it that determinesthe true value What gift is worth the mostThis Christmas I was debating what to give my father. My dad is a hard person to buy for because he never wants anything. I pulled out my phone to read a text message from my mom saying that we were leaving for Christmas shopping for him when I came across a message on my phone that I had locked. The message was from my father. My eyes fell on a photo of a flower taken in Wyoming. and underneath a poem by William Blake. The flower, a lone dandelion standing against the bright blue sky, inspired me. My dad had been reciting those words to me since I was a kid. That may even be the reason why I love writing. I decided t hat thos e words would be my gift to my father.I called back. I told my mom to go without me and that I already created my gift. I sent the photo of the cream-colored flower to my computer and typed the poem on top of it. As I was arranging the details another poem came to mind. The poem was written by Edgar Allan Poe; my dad recited it as much as he did the other. I typed that out as well and searched online for a background to the words of it. The poem was focused around dreaming, and after searching I found the perfect picture. The image was painted with blues and greens and purples, twisting together to create the theme and wonder of a dream. As I watched both poems passing through the printer, the white paper coloring with words that shaped my childhood. I felt that this was a gift that my fatherwould truly appreciate.Christmas soon arrived. The minute I saw the look on my dad's face as he unwrapped those swirling black letters carefully placed in a cheap frame,I knew I had given the perfect gift.11. The idea for a special gift began to form when the author was______.A. doing shoppingB. having a debateC. reading a messageD. leaving for Wyoming12. The author's inspiration for the gift came from_____.A. a photo of a flowerB. a story about a kidC. a call from the motherD. a text about Christmas13. The underlined word "it" in Paragraph 3 refers to a poem by_____.A. the fatherB. the authorC. William BlakeD. Edgar Allan Poe14. The author made the gift by_____.A. searching for the poems onlineB. drawing the background by handC. painting the letters in three colorsD. matching the words with pictures15. What is the main purpose of the passageA. To show how to design images for gifts.B. To suggest making gifts from one's heart.C. To explain how computers help create gifts.D. To describe the gifts the author has receivedDPlanning a visit to the UK Here we help with ways to cut your costs.AVOID BIG EVENTS Big sporting events, concerts and exhibitions can increase the cost of accommodation and make it harder to find a room. A standard double room at the Thistle Brighton on the final Friday of the Brighton Comedy Festival (19 Oct.) cost ￡ at . A week later, the same room cost ￡.If you can be flexible and want to know dates to avoid—or you’re looking for a big event to pass your time—check out sites such as , which allow you to search for events in the UK by city, date and category.STAYAWAY FROM THE STATION If traveling to your destination by train, you may want to find a good base close to the station, but you could end up paying more for the sake of convenience at the start of your holiday.Don’t be too choosy about the part of town you stay in. Booking two months in advance, the cheapest room at Travelodge’s Central Euston hotel in London for Saturday 22 September was ￡. A room just a tube journey away at its Covent Garden hotel was ￡. And at Farringdon, a double room cost just ￡.LOOK AFTER YOURSELF Really central hotels in cities such as London, Edinburgh and Cardiff can cost a fortune, especially at weekends and during big events. As an alternative consider checking into a self-catering flat with its own kitchen. Often these flats are hidden away on the top floors of city centre buildings. A great example is the historic O’Neill Flat on Edinburgh’s Royal Mile, available for ￡420 for five days in late September, with room for four adults.GET ON A BIKE London’s ‘Boris bikes’ have attracted the most attention, but other cities also have similar programmes that let you rent a bicycle and explore at your own pace, saving you on public transport or car parking costs.Among the smaller cities with their own programmes are Newcastle (casualmembers pay around ￡ for two hours) and Cardiff (free for up to 30 minutes, or ￡5 per day).16. The Brighton Comedy Festival is mentioned mainly to show big events may __________.A. help travelers pass timeB. attract lots of travelers to the UKC. allow travelers to make flexible planstravelers to pay more for accommodation17. “Farringdon” in Paragraph 5 is most probably __________.A. a hotel away from the train stationB. the tube line to Covent GardenC. an ideal holiday destinationD. the name of a travel agency18. The passage shows that the O’Neill Flat __________.A. lies on the ground floorB. is located in central LondonC. provides cooking facilities for touristsover ￡100 on average per day in late September19. Cardiff’s program allows a free bike for a maximum period of __________.A. half an hourB. one hourC. one hour and a halfD. two hours20. The main purpose of the passage is __________.A. to tell visitors how to book in advanceB. to supply visitors with hotel informationC. to show visitors the importance of self-helpD. to offer visitors some money-saving tipsEHolidays are really important. Many of us will have childhood memories of summer holidays where we were taken away from home to exper ience new environments and learn in different ways.But holidays are expensive and, for those on low wages or living on benefits，they are often unobtainable. Even the cheapest holidays requiretravel and other additional costs that are difficult for many families to meet.For working parents，the long summer break can be a very difficult problem for childcare. When an annual leave allowance amounts to only five weeks，there is a need to spread this across the year. Couples can find themselves taking leave in turn in order to care for children who are on holiday. For some，this makes even an aff ordable family holiday difficult.The schools that I visit in Nottingham are full of experienced staff committed to giving our children a caring and inspiring learning environment. The number of children receiving free school meals is quite large in Nottingham and many schools have breakfast clubs to make sure that children get a healthy start to the day. Most schools undertake programs of group or individual educational support. Schools also have an important role in safeguarding children’s welfare through the ongoing touch and support with their pupils. During the long summer holidays，much of this is missed.While teachers are holidaying in the UK, many of their pupils spend the whole six weeks on the street where they live. The lack of free school meals for six weeks can result in pressure on a family budget and an inability to afford the inspiring experiences that help children to continue their learning.In setting out its plans for a five-term year, Nottingham City Council (委员会）is seeking to reduce the summer holiday down to four and a half weeks, with a. more balanced five terms of roughly eight weeks, each followed by a two-week break. We believe this will give real “down time" for school staff and pupils alike but will be short enough not to cause a real break in learning.We acknowledge that this change may be difficult for some school staff, particularly whose own children are educated in other authorities. However, this must be weighed against the benefits for city children for whom we all have the greatest duty of care.21. The passage is probably written by _____.A. an experienced teacherB. a working parentC. an inspired studentD. a city council member22. The underlined word “they" in the second paragraph refers to “____”.A. environmentsB. holidaysC. wagesD. benefits23. It is suggested in the passage that the summer break be reduced to _____.A. 2 weeksB. weeksC. 5 weeksD. 6 weeks24. The plans for a shorter summer holiday will help students _____.A. obtain the cheapest holidays without additional costsB. get a chance to spend, six weeks a term with teachers in schoolC. benefit more from the caring and inspiring learning environmentD. have more school days to receive free school meals25. It can be inferred from the passage that _____.A. working parents can enjoy a five-week break to care for their childrenB. the suggested plans for a five-term school year can hardly be carried outC. the long summer holiday gives teachers and students real “ down time"D. some school staff will say “ No" to the plans for a shorter summer holiday第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

AI was in a strange city I didn ’t know at all, and what ’s more, I could not speak a word of the language. On my second day I got on the first bus that passed, rode on it for several stops, then got off and walked on. The first two hours passed pleasantly enough, then I decided to turn back to my hotel for lunch. After walking about for some time, I decided I had better ask the way. The trouble was that the only word I knew of the language was the name of the street in which I lived, and even that I pronounced badly. I stopped to ask a newspaper-seller. He handed me a paper. I shook my head and repeated the name of the street and he put the paper into my hands. I had to give him some money and went on my way. The next person.I asked was a policeman. He listened to me carefully, nodded and gently took me by the arm. There was a strange look in his eyes as he pointed left and right and left again. I nodded politely and began walking in the direction he pointed.About an hour passed and I noticed that the houses were getting fewer and fewer and green fields were appearing on either side of me. I had come all the way into the countryside. The only thing left for me to do was find the nearest railway station.21. The writer preferred to walk back to his hotel because.A. he had no money to buy a ticketB. he wanted to lose himself in the cityC. he tried to know the city in this wayD.it was late and there were no buses passing by22. The newspaper-seller .A. didn ’t know where the hotel wasB. didn ’t understand what the writer saidC. could understand what the writer saidD. didn ’t want to take the money from the writer23. From the story we know that the policeman .A. was kind but didn ’t understand the writerB. told the writer where to take a trainC. knew what the writer really meantD.was cold-hearted and didn ’t help the writer24. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. The writer got close to the hotel where he stayed.B. The writer got to the hotel with the policeman ’s help.C. The writer found he was much farther away from the hotel.D.The writer found the hotel in the direction the policeman pointed.BJesse Owens was born in Alabama in the USA, in 1913. There were ten children in his family. Jesse was the youngest. He went to school in the city of Cleveland. At school he showed he had a special talent for athletics ( 田径). He could run fast. He could jump high. He could jump far. Because he was good at athletics, Jesse became a student at Ohio State University.In May, 1935 in Michigan, USA, he broke the world record for the long jump. This washis first world record. On the 25th May Jesse did something unusual. In 45 minutes he broke six world records. Some people think that this was the greatest athletics achievement ever.In 1936 Jesse went to the Olympic Games in Berlin, Germany. There were only nineteen black athletes in the USA team. He won gold medals in the 100 meters race, the 200 meters race, the long jump and the relay race.Jesse was not a professional athlete. This meant that he could not get money for running. Later, he became a professional athlete. To make money he had to appear in strange races. Sometimes he had to race against horses.In 1960 somebody broke Jesse's last world record. In 1980 Jesse died.25. Jesse Owens was born in in the USA.A. AlabamaB. ClevelandC. Ohio D Michigan26. Jesse showed he was very good at when he was at school.A. basketballB. swimmingC. athleticsD. shooting27. Jesse's first world record was for the .A. runningB. relay raceC. high jumpD. long jump28. He won gold medals in 1936 in the Olympic Games in Berlin, Germany.A. twoB. fourC. sixD. eightCPeople have been talking about health for a long time because people know the importance of it. People's understanding of health also becomes deeper with the progress in scientific research. Recently the term "health" has come to have a wider meaning than it used to. It no longer means just the absence of illness. Today, health means the well-being of your body, your mind and your relationship with other people. This new concept of health is closely related to anotherterm-quality of life. Quality of life is the degree of overall satisfaction that a person gets from life.Why has the emphasis of health shifted from the absence of disease to a broader focus on the quality of a person's life? One reason for this has to do with the length and conditions of life that people can now expect. Medical advances have made it possible for people today to live longer, healthier lives. Imagine for a moment that you were born in the year 1900. You could have expected on average to live until about the age of 47. In contrast, if you were born in the year 1999, you could expect to live to the age of 75.29、leads to people's deeper understanding of health.A ：Common knowledgeB ：Better conditions of living C：Progress in scientific research D：Quality of life 30、According tothe passage, to people of today, health means .A ：absence of illness B：overall satisfaction with lifeC：good conditions of living D：a long life31 、The emphasis of health has shifted nowadays because .A ：people enjoy better conditions of living and they can live longer B：people pay more attention to their physical health, not their mental health C：people have realized the importance of mental well-beingD：people are inspired by medical advances32、This passage is mainly about .A ：different understandings of the term "health"B：improving the quality of lifeC：the importance of quality livingD：people's expectations of a long and healthy lifeDBackground music may seem harmless, but it can have a powerful effect on those who hear it. Recorded background music first found its way into factories, shops and restaurants in the USA. Very soon it spread to other parts of the world. Now it is becoming difficult to go shoppingor eat a meal without listening to background music.To begin with, background music was intended simply to create a soothing ( 舒适的) atmosphere. Recently, however, it's becoming a big business. An American marketing expert has shown that music can boost( 提升) sales or increase factory production by as much as a third.But it has to be the light music. Lively music has no effect at all on sales. Slow music can increase receipts(收入) by 34%. This is probably because shoppers slow down and have more opportunity to spot items they would like to buy. Yet, slow music isn't always the answer. The expert found that in restaurants slow music meant customers took longer to eat their meals, which reduced overall sales. So restaurant owners might be well advised to play faster music to keep the customers moving-unless, of course, the resulting indigestion( 消化不良) leads to complaints.33、Background music was first used .A ：in the cinemas and theatres in the USAB：in the offices and hospitals in the USA C：in the schools and churches in the USAD：in the factories, shops and restaurants in the USA34、An American marketing expert has found background music can .A ：increase sales or factory productionB：create a soothing atmosphere C：make people slow downD：make people forget their worries35、Restaurant owners are advised to play to increase overall sales.A ：lively musicB ：loud musicC：faster music D ：slower music第二节：（共5 小题，每题 2 分，共10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

In this way he could measure the work of his steam engine.He discovered that a horse could lift a 3300-pound weight 10 feet into the air in one minute. His engine could lift a 3300-pound weight 100 feet in one minute. Because his engine did ten times as much work as the horse, Watt called it a ten horse-power engine.1.

Reading ComprehensionSection A （15分）Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are f our words or phrases marked A, B, C and D.

Now, it seems, there is scientific evidence to __41__ his cl aim. The idea that geniuses such as Shakespeare, Mozart, an d Picasso possessed certain inborn talents is a false belief, ac cording to a study by a British psychologist and his colleagues .After examining outstanding performance in the arts and sport s, these researchers concluded that __42__ is determined by opportunity, encouragement, training, motivation, self-confidence, and — most important of all — __43__. Even peo ple who were not thought to be __44__ with any special talent could, after having received training, reach levels __45__ con sidered attainable (可获得的) only by gifted individuals. “Talent is a false belief, and it is time that people got rid of it,” they said.This theory — a dramatic __46__ with traditional beliefs — ha s been __47__ by academics worldwide. In fact, studies of acc omplished artists and mathematicians, and top tennis players and swimmers, have reported few early signs of __48__ in the se people before any parental encouragement. No case has been found of anyone reaching the highest levels of achieveme nt without __49__ himself or herself to thousands of hours of s erious training. Even those who are believed to be exceptiona lly talented — whether in music, mathematics, chess, or sport s — have needed lengthy periods of instruction and practice t o achieve their highest level of success. “The persistent false belief that some people reach high levels of performance with out spending numerous hours practising __50__ much to the f act that their practice is usually outside thecasual observer’s view,” stated one scientist.The importance of practice has been noticed in athletics. For i nstance, differences in the composition of certain muscles we re once thought to be __51__ predictors of athletic performanc e. However, the differences in the proportion of certain muscl e fibers(组织)that are __52__ for success in long-distance running are largely the result of extended practice in running. “What makes a genius then?” one may ask. __53__, t here is no clear answer. What is known, however, is that “nurt ure” is at least as important as “nature.” __54__, a supportive environment will do far more for a chi ld’s prospects of succes s than any inborn gifts. This is a message that most of us will f ind __55__ — even if we haven’t won the gene lottery, our fat e is still in our own hands.41. A. make B. challenge C. sup port D. dismiss42. A. excellence B. harmony C. ne gotiation D. response43. A. education B. practice C. fortu ne D. character44. A. satisfied B. concerned C. decorat ed D. gifted45.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. F or each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information give n in the passage you have just read.AIf scientists could create a pill that let you live twice as long while remaining free of diseases, would you take it ?If one considers only the personal benefits that longer life wo uld bring, the answer might seem like a no-brainer: People could spend more time with loved ones; watc h future generations grow up; learn new languages or try different careers.But what about society as a whole ? Would it be better off if l ife spans were doubled? The question is of growing importanc e, and serious debate about it goes back GCLA’s of , answer ed the question with a firm “Yes”. A doubted lifespan, Stock s aid, would “give us a chance to recover from our mistakes, lea d us towards longer-term thinking and delay the startof expensive diseases of aging. It would also raise productivit y through adding to our prime years.”Callahan, a co-founder of the Hastings Center in , didn’t share Stock’s enthus iasm. For one thing, he said, doubling life spans won’t solve a ny of our current social problems. “We have war, poverty, all sorts of issues around, and I don’t think any of th em would be at all helped if people lived longer,” Callahan sai d in a telephone interview. “The question is , ‘What will we get as a society?’ I suspect it won’t be a better s ociety.”Other point out that a doubling of the human lifespan will affe ct society at every level. Ideas about marriage and work will c hange in fundamental ways, they say, as will attitudes toward the young and the old.56. In Paragraph 2, “a no-brainer” most probably refers to ____.A. something coming to mind naturallyB. someone unwilling to thinkC. something difficult to bear in mindD. someone having a low IQ57. According to Stock, a doubled lifespan would result in peo ple____.A. thinking less frequentlyB. having fewer diseases of agingC. making more mistakesD. working productively longer58. Which of the following might be the best title of the passag e?A. Aging: Burden or TreasureB. Base of Society: the Old or the YoungC. Longer Lives: For or AgainstD.

Since the canteen is also used by members of the pu blic, you will be asked to produce your enrollment acceptance advice slip.

Students are allowed to have their lunch at 12:30 pm in the Hall.C. The assembly call will be made before the welcome add ress begins.D. Students can get their student cards from the Library.CIt’s true that high-school coding classes aren’t essential for learning computer s cience in college. Students without experience can catch up a fter a few introductory courses, said Tom Cortina, the assistan t dean at Carnegie Mellon’s of .However, Cortina said, early exposure is beneficial. When yo unger kids learn computer science, they learn that it’s not just a confusing, endless string of letters and numbers — but a to ol to build apps, or create artwork, or test hypotheses (假设). It’s not as hard for them to transform their thought proces ses as it is for older students. Breaking down problems into bit e-sized parts and using code to solve them becomes normal. Gi ving more children this training could increase the number of people interested in the field and help fill the jobs gap, Cortina said.Students also benefit from learning something about coding b efore they get to college, where introductory computer-science classes are packed to the edge, which can drive the l ess-experienced or less-determined students away.The , where people pay to learn programming, started as one of the many coding camps has become popular for adults loo king for a career change. The high-schoolers get the same curriculum, but “we try to adjust lesso ns to things they’re interested in,” said Victoria Friedman, an i nstructor. For instance, one of the apps the students are deve loping suggests movies based on your mood.The students in the Flatiron class probably won’t drop out of h igh school and build the next Facebook.Programming languages have a quick turnover, so the “Ruby on Rails” language they learned may not even be relevant by the time they enter the job market. But the skills they learn —how to think logically through a problem and organize the res ults — apply to any coding language, said Deborah Seehorn, an education consultant for the state of .Indeed, the Flatiron students might not go into IT at all. But creating a future army of coders is not the only purpose of the classes. These kids are going to be surrounde d by computers — in their pockets, in their offices, in their ho mes — for the rest of their lives. The younger they learn how computers think, how to coax the machine into producing wha t they want — the earlier they learn that they have the power t o do that — the better.63. Cortina holds that early exposure to computer science ma kes it easier to ______.A. remodel the way of thinkingB. perfect artwork prod uctionC. formulate logical hypothesesD. complete future job training64. Deborah Seehorn believes that the skills learned at Flatiro n will ______.A. have to be upgraded when new technologies comeB. need improving when students look for jobsC. help students learn other computer languagesD. enable students to make big quick money65. According to the last paragraph, Flatiron students are exp ected to ______.A. stay longer in the information technology industryB. become better prepared for the digitalized worldC. bring forth innovative computer technologiesD. compete with a future army of programmers66. The word “coax” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to ______.A. misguideB. challengeC. frightenD. persu adeSection C （8分）Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sent ences given below. Each sentence can be used only once. N ote that there are two more sentences than you need.A. Another function of scannable chips in clothing could be the ability to find out more information about the product.B. High-tech clothes will be a bestseller of IT times.C. Through smart connected devices in our homes, our shoppin g needs will be anticipated and taken care of.D. Clothing industry contributes to the advance of technology.E. But what if it could soon be our clothing itself that has interne t connect ability?F. It isn't just a dream - internet-connected clothes are already being made but are yet to go ma instream.Wearable technology is nothing new - activity trackers and sm art watches are now as ubiquitous as trainers and glasses. ___67__ In the not too distant fut ure, it's highly likely that our clothes will be almost as smart as our phones.Given we’ve survived just fine for millennia with the clothes we have now , you might wondering what the point of connected clothing would be. Well, imagine if when you put a jacket in t he washing machine, a chip in the jacket automatically puts th e machine on the right laundry setting, making life just that littl e bit easier. ____68___ For instance, how it was designed, itssustainability and even a playlist made by the brand.Whilst none of these functions are things we need, the hope i s that they'll enhance our clothing and the experience that go es with wearing it. ___69___One company leading the way is clothing care label manufacturer Avery Dennison, who have t eamed up with fashion label Rochambeau and Everything to c reate a bomber jacket with a personalized QR code. The code in the chip then gives the wearer a number of perks such as entry to exclusive clubs, special menus at certain restaurants and a ticket to Rochambeau's next runway show.But internet-connected clothing isn't the only way fashion is combining wit h technology - programmatic commerce, a concept developed by global ecommerce consultancy Salmon, is set to change t he way we buy clothes. ___70___ For example, before you've even realized you've run out of tights, your favorite online reta iler has automatically re-ordered some new ones for you based on your repurchasing patterns and an estimation of the average life cycle of your tights.So with connected clothing and homes, it may soon be that w hen it comes to fashion, we barely have to think about anything at all.IV. Summary Wring: （10分）Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize in no mor e than 60 words the main idea of the passage and how it is ill ustrated. Use your own words as far as possible.These days our society develops rapidly and forces people t o rush. It appears that people have got used to being in a hurr y. However, it’s better for people to take their time and live the ir life at a slower pace than to hurry to get things done.The main reason that convinces us to oppose doing work in a hurry is the possibility of doing wrongs in a rush. When peo ple do their jobs or take action in a hurry, they can’t make a s ound decision and probably regret later. As the saying goes, “Haste makes waste.” We should think carefully before making a decision and do our work less quickly. We should not make mistakes by doing work hurriedly.Slowing down the pace of life helps people enjoy their life be tter. For example, taking a train to some place certainly will ta ke more time than taking a plane. However, taking a train mak es people have enough time to get to know a lot of new friends. Besides, it allows people to fully enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way.Finally, slower life pace provides better health conditions for us. As is known to all, taking action in a hurry bothers people and raises their stress. People think if they are not in a hurry, t hey will become a loser and that annoys them. But being in a hurry can hurt people both physically and mentally.In short, working quickly will bring about more material benef its to make our society more advanced. Yet, much stress can’t bring enjoyment, friends and health, which are much more i mportant than money and other material advantages. Therefo re, take your time and live your life at a slower pace.第II卷（共40分）I.
