3.Once a month, just after sunset, trucks fill an outdoor parking lot in Los Angeles, California．Some trucks sell all kinds of food. Others have clothing for sale. These are known as fashion（时尚）trucks.
It's really fun to go through everything in the truck. The back of the truck is a small store. Clothing hangs on one side. Jewelry（首饰）and purses are on the other. The store looks colorful and is well organized. There is also a very small room for trying on clothes.
Jordana Fortaleza is one of the truck owners. She says the cost of owning a truck is much lower than paying for a store. And there is another reason to use a truck. You can take your business to your customers. But there are also
difficulties.
The biggest problem is the weather. In winter, it's cold outside and there's no one around. Another problem is keeping the truck in good condition. When it breaks down, the repairs can take days. Business stops during the time. It happens at least once a year because her truck is 38 years old．
Meagan Rogers is a fashion school graduate. She says the job market is so hard now, but with a fashion truck she's able to start earning money while her classmates are still working without pay.
Which of the following is an advantage of a fashion truck?（）

6.You know what a hotel is, of course. And perhaps, you also know what a condo is －a residential（居住的）building divided into separate units that are owned by different people. What you may not know is that in some U. S. cities, the two have come together into something called a "condo hotel ".
Some condo hotels can now be found in beach and mountain towns and a few small cities. However, none is more famous than the great 105-year-old Plaza Hotel in New York, on Fifth Avenue across from Central Park. The Plaza closed for repair in 2005. When it reopened two years later, more than half of it had been changed into one of these modern condo hotels.
Here's how it works: You buy what equals to an apartment（公寓）. If it's at The Plaza, it will cost you between $1.5 million and $9 million. So you own a part of the building. But there's some inconvenience. You may stay there no more than
120 days a year. The rest of the time, the hotel's workers can book guests into your place, just as they would in the regular hotel's rooms. So if you're lucky and rich, you can now live in really special quarters up to almost one third of
the year, while others pay off your mortgage（房贷）the rest of the year.
So far, a great many of the nation's condo hotel units have been purchased not by rich people but by richer companies, including foreign ones. They want a nice place for their bosses to stay when they're in town or working late at the office.
A condo is a place where people ____.（）
A.live
B.work
C.eat
D.study
正确答案：A
本题解析：

11."The price of books for our students is just getting higher and higher, and along with the rising cost of tuition（学费）, it's killing these students," said Peter Jason, a college professor. "Remember, students are one of the poorest groups of people in America. Almost half of them have at least one part-time job. In fact, one of my students has three jobs. And she still manages to have high scores and go to school full-time."
Textbook prices are usually high. Adding to that problem, many college teachers change textbooks year after year. They either upgrade to a new edition（版本）or change to a different textbook. This further hurts students because if a teacher no longer uses a textbook, that book has no resale value.
Dr. Jason decided to make life a little easier and a lot cheaper for his students by writing his own book on public speaking. "Many books have an increased price because of CD-ROMs, lots of color photographs and pictures. I talked to my students, and many of them, like me, prefer to keep things simple. So, a few years ago, I wrote my own textbook. I made sure that it was simple. Compared to most of other public speaking books, mine is half the number of pages, and one-third the price. That is $30 instead of $90. When I wrote a second edition last year, students only had to buy the 35 new pages. For only $7, they had almost a new book. "
What did Dr. Jason decide to do to help the students?（）
A.To choose cheaper textbooks
B.To write a textbook himself
C.To speak to his students
D.To use old textbooks
正确答案：B

13.All the housewives who went to the new supermarket had one great ambition: to be the lucky customer who did not have to pay for her shopping. For this was what the notice just inside the entrance promised. It said, "Remember, once a week, one
of our customers gets free goods. This May Be Your Lucky Day! "
For several weeks Mrs. Edwards hoped, like many of her friends, to be the lucky customer. Unlike her friends, she never gave up shopping. The cupboards in kitchen were full of things which she did not need. Her husband tried to advise her against buying things but failed. She dreamed of the day when the manager of the supermarket would approach her and say, "Madam, this is Your Lucky Day. Everything in your basket is free. "
One Friday morning, after she had finished her shopping and had taken it to her car, she found that she had forgotten to buy any tea. She dashed back to the supermarket, got the tea and went towards the cash-desk. As she did so, she saw the manager of the supermarket approach her. "Madam," he said, holding out his hand, "I want to congratulate you! You are our lucky customer and everything you have in your basket is free!"

16.It is widely accepted that English is the global language of modern times.
About three decades ago, French was recognized as the language of diplomacy （外交），and German was considered the language of science and technology. English now dominates（主导）not only as the language of science but also diplomacy, computing, and tourism. Today, in terms of native speakers, Mandarin Chinese is the wo rld’s largest language.
Yet there are people who believe that China will become the most powerful country in the world. Some have even fixed the date as early as the year 2020. At present, while English is more widely spoken than any other language, there are more people who speak Chinese than English due to the large population in China alone. If China does become a world power, there is no doubt that this language will spread worldwide.
As the controversy over which language will become dominant in the world continues, there are many who feel that the dominance of English is unique and irreversible（不可逆的）.However, a separate study from David Graddol’s suggests that English’s dominance in the scientific area will continue. There is also an argument that the English language would be changed greatly by 2020 for various reasons. With the possibility of China rising as a world power, Mandarin could definitely challenge the dominance of English as a global language.
Which language has the largest population of native speakers?（）
A.French
B.English
C.German
D.Chinese
正确答案：D
本题解析：
细节理解题。

根据短文第三段的“there are more people who speak Chinese than English due to the large population in China alone”可知，因为中国庞大的人口数量，目前相比较于被广泛使用的英语，汉语有更大的使用人群。

20.Many schools have their art programs removed in an effort to improve test scores and save money. However, some researchers believe that this is not correct. Students can master some basic skills in art class that they cannot find in a normal classroom.
Allow me to share why you have to take art class.
First and most important, it stimulates creativity（激发创造力）.Art schools encourage you to think outside the box and be creative enough to create something artistic. It can be used not only in art but in life, too.
Besides, it helps you make the right choice. In art class, you are usually free to do what you want. In every art class, you are required to make decisions that can determine what your painting will turn out to be.
In addition, students can learn the art of critical（批判性的）thinking as a skill of observation（观察）. For example, art students find ways to imagine. That is a skill they need to become better readers and problem settlers.
What is more, it is noted that the company's bosses are actively looking for employees who can think creatively. Creative thinking is one of the most important skills that students can learn in art courses.
Finally, students who are trained in art class have interesting mental habits. They learn how to work on a task for a long time and how to continue to work even if they are discouraged. They are better for creating a link between the classroom and the outside world. In addition, children who do art work are able to look back
on their work and make judgments about themselves.
Why are art programs removed from many schools?（）
A.To make students have their own hobbies
B.To improve students' test scores and save money
C.To help students master some job skills
D.To give students more free time
正确答案：B
