第二部分阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2分，满分30分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A, B, C和D)中.选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

AA new study shows students who write notes by hand during lectures perform better on exams than those who use laptops(笔记本电脑).Students arc increasingly using laptops for note-taking because of speed and legibility(清晰度).But the research has found laptop users are less able to remember and apply the concepts they have been taught.Researchers performed experiments that aimed to find out whether using a laptop increased the tendency to make notes "mindlessly" by taking down word for word what the professors said In the first experiment, students were given either a laptop or pen and paper .They listened to the same lectures and were told to use their usual note-taking skills. Thirty minutes after the talk , they were examined on their ability to remember facts and on how well they understood concepts.The researchers found that laptop users took twice as many notes as those who wrote by hand. However, the typists performed worse at remembering and applying the concepts. Both groups scored similarly when it came to memorizing facts.The researchers' report said, "While more notes are beneficial, if the notes are taken mindlessly, as is more likely the case on a laptop, the benefit disappears."In another experiment aimed at testing long-term memory, students took notes as before but were tested a week after the lecture. This time, the students who wrote notes by hand performed significantly better on the exam.These two experiments suggest that handwritten notes are not only better for immediate learning and understanding, but that they also lead to superior revision in the future.21. More and more students favor laptops for note-taking because they can .A. write more notesB. digest concepts betterC. get higher scoresD. understand lectures better22. While taking notes, laptop users tend to be .A. skillfulB. mindlessC. thoughtfulD. tireless23. The author of the passage aims to .A. examine the importance of long-term memoryB. stress the benefit of taking notes by handC. explain the process of taking notesD. promote the use of laptops24. The passage is likely to appear in .A. a newspaper advertisementB. a computer textbookC. a science magazineD. a finance reportB(Q = Question; A = Answer)Situation IQ: If someone sits right next to me in an empty movie theater, is it rude to move?A: Maybe, but nobody will fault you for it. Chances are that close sitter doesn't realize he disturbs you, so he may miss your annoyance. You undoubtedly aren't the first person he's met who needs enough room. Forgive his bad judgment, move quietly and enjoy the show.Situation IIQ: If I use the bathroom at a store, do I need to buy something?A: Consider frequency and urgency. Is this a one-time or an emergency? If so, you don't have to buy anything, but it would be kind if you did. However, if you regularly use the bathroom at this place, then you are a customer, and you should act like one.Situation IIIQ: If someone is talking loudly on the bus, is there a nice way to ask him to keep it down?A: No. Try other means.1) Stare at him until he gets aware of it and quiets down. 2) Lift your finger in a silence motion(动作)and smile. 3) Put on earphones and ignore him.Situation INQ:If I remember my friend's birthday a day late, should I apologize or just wish her a happy birthday like nothing happened?A: This is the reason why the word belated was invented. "Happy belated birthday!" is short for: "Well, I know I forgot, but then I remembered. Forgive me and happy birthday."Situation VQ: Can I lie about seeing a text because I was too busy or lazy to respond(回复) to it?A: Don't lie. Receiving a text does not mean you need to respond to it. Why waste a perfectly good lie when the truth will serve? "Yes," you can say if ever asked, "I saw it." No explanation is needed as to why you don't respond.25．You will get annoyed in a theater when .A. a person is too activeB. a person is too rude to youC. a person talks too loudlyD. a person sits too close to you26. How will you quiet someone down in a public place?A. By making fun of him continuously.B. By looking purposefully at him.C. By talking to him directly.D. By pointing angrily at him.27. The underlined word "belated" in Situation IV probably means .A. predictedB. returnedC. cancelledD. delayed28. What is the passage mainly about?A. Modern ways to mind your manners.B. Different ways to change others' manners.C. Proper manners to offer help to others.D. Good manners to talk to people.CWould it surprise you to learn that, like animals, trees communicate with each other and pass on their wealth to the next generation?UBC Professor Simard explains how trees are much more complex than most of usever imagined. Although Charles Darwin thought that trees are competing for survival of the fittest, Simard shows just how wrong he was. In fact, the opposite is true: trees survive through their co-operation and support, passing around necessary nutrition "depending on who needs it".Nitrogen (氮) and carbon are shared through miles of underground fungi (真菌) networks, making sure that all trees in the forest ecological system give and receive just the right amount to keep them all healthy. This hidden system works in a very similar way to the networks of neurons (神经元) in our brains, and when one tree is destroyed, it affects all.Simard talks about "mother trees", usually the largest and oldest plants on which all other trees depend. She explains how dying trees pass on the wealth to the next generation, transporting important minerals to young trees so they may continue to grow. When humans cut down "mother trees" with no awareness of these highly complex "tree societies" or the networks on which they feed, we are reducing the chances of survival for the entire forest."We didn't take any notice of it" Simard says sadly. "Dying trees move nutrition into the young trees before dying, but we never give them chance." If we could put across the message to the forestry industry, we could make a huge difference towards our environmental protection efforts for the future.29. The underlined sentence "the opposite is true" in Paragraph 2 probably means that trees .A. compete for survivalB. protect their own wealthC. depend on each otherD. provide support for dying trees30. "Mother trees" are extremely important because they .A. look the largest in size in the forestB. pass on nutrition to young treesC. seem more likely to be cut down by humansD. know more about the complex "tree societies"31. The underlined word "it" in the last paragraph refers to .A. how "tree societies" workB. how trees grow oldC. how forestry industry developsD. how young trees survive32. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Old Trees Communicate Like HumansB. Young Trees Are In Need Of ProtectionC. Trees Are More Awesome Than You ThinkD. Trees Contribute To Our SocietyDTravis is the manager of G&G where he is responsible for forty employees (雇员)and profits (利润) of over $2 million per year. He's never late to work. He does not get upset on the job. When one of his employees started crying after a customer screamed at her, Travis took her away. "Your working uniform is your shelter," he told her. "Nothing anyone says will ever hurt you. You will always be as strong as you want to be."Travis picked up that lecture in one of his G&G training courses, an education program that began on his first day and continues throughout an employee's occupation. The training has, Travis says, changed his life. G&G has taught him how to live, how to focus, how to get to work on time, and how to master his emotions (情绪). Most importantly, it taught him willpower.At the center of that education is an extreme focus on an all-important habit; willpower. Dozens of cases show that willpower is the single most important habit for a person's success.And the best way to strengthen willpower is to make it into a habit. "Sometimes it looks like people with great self-control aren't working hard—but that's because they've made it automatic," Angela Duckworth, one of the University of Pennsylvaniaresearchers said. "Their willpower occurs without them having to think about it."The company spent millions of dollars developing programs of study to trainemployees on self-control. Managers wrote workbooks that serve as guides to how to make willpower a habit in workers' lives. Those courses arc, in part, why G&G has grown from a sleepy company into a large one with more than seventeen thousand stores and profits of more than $10 billion a year.33. We loam from Paragraph 2 that employees in G&G must .A. learn to give lecturesB. attend education programsC. design a working uniformD. develop a common hobby34. Willpower will become a habit when employees can .A. focus on the profitsB. benefit from the jobC. protect themselves wellD. control their feeling well35. What can we infer from the passage?A. G&G has grown into a large company.B. G&G will spend half its profits training employees.C. G&G may become more successful in the future.D. G&G has to produce more workbooks for managers.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分, 满分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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

use the bathroom at a store,do I need to buy something?A:Consider frequency and urgency.Is this a one-time or an emergency?If so,you don't have to buy anything,but it would be kind if you did.However,if you regularly use the bathroom at this place,then you are a customer,and you should act like one.Situation IIIQ:If someone is talking loudly on the bus,is there a nice way to ask him to keep it down?A:No.Try other means.1)Stare at him until he gets aware of it and quiets down.2) Lift your finger in a silence motion(动作)and smile.3)Put on earphones and ignorehim.Situation INQ:If I remember my friend's birthday a day late,should I apologize or just wish her a happy birthday like nothing happened?A:This is the reason why the word belated was invented."Happy belated birthday!"is short for:"Well,I know I forgot,but then I remembered.Forgive me and happy birthday."Situation VQ:Can I lie about seeing a text because I was too busy or lazy to respond(回复)to it?A:Don't lie.Receiving a text does not mean you need to respond to it.Why waste a perfectly good lie when the truth will serve?"Yes,"you can say if ever asked,"I saw it."No explanation is needed as to why you don't respond.25．You will get annoyed in a theater when.A.a person is too activeB.a person is too rude to youC.a person talks too loudlyD.a person sits too close to you26.How will you quiet someone down in

others.D.Good manners to talk to people.CWould it surprise you to learn that,like animals,trees communicate with each other and pass on their wealth to the next generation?UBC Professor Simard explains how trees are much more complex than most of usever imagined.Although Charles Darwin thought that trees are competing for survival of the fittest,Simard shows just how wrong he was.In fact,the opposite is true:trees survive through their co-operation and support,passing around necessary nutrition "depending on who needs it".Nitrogen(氮)and carbon are shared through miles of underground fungi(真菌)networks,making sure that all trees in the forest ecological system give and receive just the right amount to keep them all healthy.This hidden system works in a verysimilar way to the networks of neurons(神经元)in our brains,and when one tree is destroyed,it affects all.Simard talks about"mother trees",usually the largest and oldest plants on which all other trees depend.She explains how dying trees pass on the wealth to the next generation,transporting important minerals to young trees so they may continue to grow.When humans cut down"mother trees"with no awareness of these highly complex"tree societies"or the networks on which they feed,we are reducing the chances of survival for the entire forest."We didn't take any notice of it"Simard says sadly."Dying trees move nutrition into the young trees before dying,but we never give them chance."If we could put across the message to the forestry industry,we could make a huge difference towards our environmental protection efforts for the future.29.The underlined sentence"the opposite is true"in Paragraph2probably means that trees.pete for survivalB.protect their own wealthC.depend on each otherD.provide support for dying trees30."Mother trees"are extremely important because they.A.look the largest in size in the forestB.pass on nutrition to young treesC.seem more likely to be cut down by humansD.know more about the complex"tree societies"31.The underlined word"it"in the last paragraph refers to.A.how"tree societies"workB.how trees grow oldC.how forestry industry developsD.how young trees survive32.What would be the best title for the passage?A.Old Trees Communicate Like HumansB.Young Trees Are In Need Of ProtectionC.Trees Are More Awesome Than You ThinkD.Trees Contribute To Our SocietyDTravis is the manager of G&G where he is responsible for forty employees(雇员)and profits(利润)of over$2million per year.He's never late to work.He does notget upset on the job.When one of his employees started crying after a customer screamed at her,Travis took her away."Your working uniform is your shelter,"he told her."Nothing anyone says will ever hurt you.You will always be as strong as you want to be."Travis picked up that lecture in one of his G&G training courses,an education program that began on his first day and continues throughout an employee's occupation.The training has,Travis says,changed his life.G&G has taught him howto live,how to focus,how to get to work on time,and how to master his emotions(情绪).Most importantly,it taught him willpower.At the center of that education is an extreme focus on an all-important habit;willpower. Dozens of cases show that willpower is the single most important habit for a person's success.And the best way to strengthen willpower is to make it into a habit."Sometimes it looks like people with great self-control aren't working hard—but that's because they've made it automatic,"Angela Duckworth,one of the University of Pennsylvaniaresearchers said."Their willpower occurs without them having to think about it."The company spent millions of dollars developing programs of study to trainemployees on self-control.Managers wrote workbooks that serve as guides to how to make willpower a habit in workers'lives.Those courses arc,in part,why G&G hasgrown from a sleepy company into a large one with more than seventeen thousand stores and profits of more than$10billion a year.33.We loam from Paragraph2that employees in G&G must.A.learn to give lecturesB.attend education programsC.design a working uniformD.develop a common hobby34.Willpower will become a habit when employees can.A.focus on the profitsB.benefit from the jobC.protect themselves wellD.control their feeling well35.What can we infer from the passage?A.G&G has grown into a large company.B.G&G will spend half its profits training employees.C.G&G may become more successful in the future.D.G&G has to produce more workbooks for managers.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

But the research has found laptop users are less able to remember and apply the concepts they have been taught.Researchers performed experiments that aimed to find out whether using a laptop increased the tendency to make notes “mindlessly”by taking down word for word what the professor said.In the first experiment, students were given either a laptop or pen and paper. They listened to the same lecturers and were told to use their usual note-taking skills. Thirty minutes after the talk, they were examined on their ability to remember facts and on how well they understood concepts.The researchers found that laptop users took twice as many notes as those who wrote by hand. However, the typists performed worse at remembering and applying the concepts. Both groups scored similarly when it came to memorizing facts.The researcher’s report said, “While more notes are beneficial, if the notes are taken mindlessly, as is more likely the case on a laptop, the benefit disappears.”In another experiment aimed at testing long-term memory, students took notes as before but were tested a week after the lecture. This time, the students who wrote notes by hand performed significantly better on the exam.These two experiments suggested that hand written notes are not only better for immediate learning and understanding, but that they also lead to superior revision in the future.21. More and more students favor laptops for note-taking, because they can________.A. write more notesB. digest concepts betterC. get higher scoresD. understand lectures better22.

Suddenly a firm 18 on our shoulders stopped us.Turing around, I found a teacher staring angrily at us. In those seconds millions of 19 flashed through my mind. My father would beat me hard. 20 than that, my mom might be so mad that she might not stop him.

However, Mr Smith had a different 25 to teach.Slowly, he bent down to look me in the eyes, and I was met with a look of concern26 anger. He spoke softly as he explained why he was 27 in my decision to go whereI may have got hurt. He cared more about my 28 than the fact that I’d broken a rule. My heart was 29 with regret, and I discovered that he still loved me even after I disappointed him. The rest of the day, he didn’t even mention it in class publicly, nor did he tell my parents.

Our parents have jobs that keep them busy almost all day long. They only have a free day in a week. This doesn’t allow them to keep an eye on their children.On the other hand, the modern society gives more freedom to the children than they could “handle〞. As a child, you don’t know how to grow up by yourself until you reach a certain age. That is why you need school and parents to be by your side all the time. If you don’t have either of them you may make a lot of mistakes. The social system of the modern society is very lenient especially with the children.Most of the children today are rebels (判逆者). They are rude. They are given too much freedom by their families. This is their parent’s mistake. They ought to know that the freedom they give to their children is misunderstood.For example it is a bad thing for a 17 – year – old child to go out in the evening on weekends. Parents are also guilty of the way their children show up in the street or at school. The same guilt belongs to the teaching system as well. Pupils shouldn’t be allowed to dress like they were on a fashion presentation at school.Another important fact we can think of regarding the freedom of children is their free will of spending money. Parents shouldn’t allow their children to spend money on whatever they want.I think children are given too much freedom not only by their parents, but also by the society. The latter is more to be blamed!64．The writer implies that parents’ busy lifestyle .A．makes their children become independentB．may lead to a tense parent – child relationshipC．is harmful to their children’s healthD．is likely to create a troubled generation65．What does the underlined word “lenient〞 (in Para 2) mean?A．Not responsible B．Not strict. C．Unkind. D．Unfair.66．It seems that the writer agrees that students .A．should stay at home on weekendsB．can wear trendy clothes at schoolC．had better wear school uniform at schoolD．can be allowed to go out in the evenings67．According to the writer, which of the following takes the primary responsibility for children’s problems?A．The social environment. B．The educational system.C．Each family. D．The school.孩子不公平。

As a child, Eunice had been taught to keep away from lepers---people with a terrible disease called leprosy(麻风病). People stayed away from them and said that they were being punished by their sins(罪孽). Lepers were sent to live alone.When Eunice was nine, she saw a group of lepers begging for food outside her house. She knew one of the lepers as the daughter of next door neighbor.

Play is important to healthy brain development. Play allows children to create and explore a world they can master, conquering their fears while practicing adult roles. Undirected play allows children to learn how to work in groups, to share, to negotiate, and to resolve conflicts. Ideally, much of play involves adults, but when play is controlled by adults, children acquiesce (顺从) to adult rules and concerns and lose some of the benefits play offers them, particularly in developing creativity, leadership, and group skills. In contrast to passive entertainment, play builds active, healthy bodies. In fact, it has been suggested that encouraging unstructured play may be an exceptional way to increase physical activity levels in children, which is one important strategy in the resolution of the obesity problem.Children’s development is critically influenced by appropriate, affec tive relationships with loving and consistent caregivers as they relate to children through play. When parents observe their children in play or join with them in child-driven play, they are given a unique opportunity to see the world from their children’s vantage point as the child navigates a world perfectly created just to fit his or her needs. The interactions that occur through play tell children that parents are fully paying attention to them and help to build enduring relationships. Parents who have the opportunity to look at their children’s world learn to communicate more effectively with their children and are given another setting to offer guidance. Less verbal children may be able to express their views, giving their parents an opportunity to gain a fuller understanding of their perspective. Quite simply, play offers parents a wonderful opportunity to engage fully with their children.44. Compared with undirected play, play which is controlled by adults ______.A. doesn’t benefit the children at allB. doesn’t help develop leadership and group skillsC. makes children become more activeD. helps increase physical activity levels45. The third paragraph mainly tells us that ______.A. play offers parents a good chance to establish good relationships with childrenB. children’s development is greatly influenced by relationships with parentsC. play helps children better express their viewsD. play offers parents a unique opportunity to see the world from a different perspective46. From the last paragraph, we know that ______.A. play can’t help children become adapted to the school settingB. play makes social-emotional learning and academic learning separatedC. play is beneficial to social-emotional learning as well as academic learningD. it i s necessary to strengthen children’s academic development at the expense of others47. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. Undirected play can help children develop team spirit.B. Play can improve children’s willingness to learn.C. Play helps adults gain a better understanding of the children’s thoughts.D. Adults shouldn’t be involved in children’s play.(D)When Suzanne Kail, an English teacher at a public high school in Magnolia, Ohio, was told that she would be required to teach her students Latin and Greek word roots, she rolled her eyes. Kail believed in a progressive approach to education, in which active participation in meaningful learning was the most important. In an account of her experience in the English Journal, she wrot e, “asking students to do rote memorization (机械记忆) was the opposite of what I believed in most.” Still, her department head insisted on it. She was sure her students wouldn’t like it, either. Kail was surprised — as was anyone who took a look at the recent studies supporting the effectiveness of “old school” methods like memorizing math facts, reading aloud, practicing handwriting and so on. While the education world is all excited about so-called 21st-century skills like cooperation, problem solving and critical thinking, this research suggests that we might do well to add a strong dose (一剂) of the 19th century to our children’s schooling.As soon as Kail began teaching her students the Greek and Latin origins of many English terms —that the root “sta” means “put in place or stand”, for example,and that “cess” means “to move or withdraw”—they eagerly began recognizing familiar words including the roots, like “statue” and “recess”. Kail’s students started using these terms in their writing, and many of them told her that their study of word roots helped them answer questions on the SAT and on Ohio’s state graduation exam. For her part, Kail reported that she no longer saw rote memorization as “evil”. That’s also true of another old-fashioned method: drilling math facts, like the multiplication table (乘法表). Although many progressive educators speak ill of what they call “drill and kill” (kill students’ love for learning, that is), rapid mentalretrieval (检索) of basic facts is required for doing more complex and more interesting kinds of math. The only way to achieve this, so far as anyone has been able to determine, is to practice and practice. Indeed, many experts have observed the wide gap between the math scores of American and Chinese students on international tests. Asian schools focus heavily on math facts. Failure to do so can effectively close off the higher realms (范围) of mathematics —a study found that most errors made by students working on complex math problems were due to a lack of automaticity (自动性) in basic math facts.48. What did Suzanne Kail think was the most important in learning at first?A. Memorizing math facts.B. Problem solving ability.C. Studying word roots.D. Students’ active participation.49. How does the study of word roots benefit students?A. It helps students build a large vocabulary more easily.B. It provides students with motivation for rote memorization.C. It helps students break up their conventional thinking.D. It gives students more knowledge about Greek and Latin.50. The author might NOT approve of ______.A. using rote memorizationB. abandoning 21st-century methodsC. practicing handwritingD. remembering basic math facts repeatedly第二部分 7选5Public Speaking and Critical ThinkingWhat is critical thinking? To a certain degree, it’s a matter of logic(逻辑)—of being able to spot weaknesses in other people’s arguments and to avoid them in your own. It also includes related skills such as distinguishing fact from opinion and assessing the soundness of evidence.In the broad sense, critical thinking is focused, organized thinking—the ability to see clearly the relationships among ideas. 71 The greatest thinkers, scientists, and inventors have often taken information that was readily available put it together differently to produce new ideas. That, too, is critical thinking.72 As the class goes on, for example, you will probably spend a good deal of time organizing your speeches. While this may seem like a purely mechanical(机械的) exercise, it is closely connected with critical thinking. If the structure of your speech is loose and confused, chances are that your thinking is also disordered and confused. If, on the other hand, the structure is clear, there is a good chance your thinking is too. Organizing a speech is not just a matter of arranging the ideas you already have. 73What is true of organization is true of many aspects of public speaking. 74 As you work on expressing your ideas in clear, accurate language, you will improve your ability to think clearly and accurately. 75 As you learn to listen critically to speeches in class, you will be better able to assess the ideas of speakers in avariety of situations.If you take full advantage of your speech class, you will be able to develop your skills as a critical thinker in many circumstances. This is one reason public speaking has been regarded as a vital part of education since the days of ancient Greece.A．Rather, it is an important part of shaping the ideas themselves.B．This may seem like a lot of time, but the rewards are well worth it.C．It may also help you to know that there is no such thing as a perfect speech. D．It has often been said that there are few new ideas in the world, only reorganized ideas.E．If you are wondering what this has to do with your public speaking class, the answer is quite a lot.F．The skills you learn in your speech class can help you become a more effective thinker in a number of waysG．As you study the role of evidence and reasoning in speech making, you will see how they can be used in other forms of communication as well.IV. 短文改错：This afternoon, an American high school delegation consisted of 10 studentsand 5 teachers came to visit our school. Unfortunately, our class was chosen tohave a discussion with the visitors, which was a good opportunity to practiseour English.

He had been forced to take a job stocking shelves at a local grocery store for $8.90 an hour when he couldn’t get wor k fixing floors. On a good day in Australia, he now makes as much as 50 Australian dollars (US$50.21) an hour—about twice the amount for a typical flooring job in the U.S. He plans to start his own flooring business.“I can make what I did in a week in th e U.S. in less than a day here,〞 said Mr. Davila, who lives near a mining boom town in Western Australia.Australian government figures show just under 7,000 Americans currently working on long-term visas, an 80% jump over the past five years. U.S. citizens are now the third-largest group applying for so-called 457 work visas, after British and Indian nationals. Americans with degrees in areas such as accounting or mine engineering, as well as other skilled workers, can obtain a nonrenewable(不可续期的) permit for as much as a three-year stay. After that, they can apply for the renewable 457, which allows up to a four-year stay.The need for workers is particularly pressing in Western Australia. The mining state’s unemployment rate was 4.5% in November, below th e national average of 5.2%.Drivers of heavy trucks can pull in six-figure salaries while experienced crane (起重机) operators can earn hundreds of thousands a year. Attracting skilled workers is a shift for Australia, which historically sent many of its most highly educated to the U.S. and Europe, according to migration data.8. _____, a growing number of Americans go to work in Australia.A. As a result of the encouragement of AustraliaB. As a result of high unemployment in the U.S.C. Out of their ambition of finding valuable resourcesD.

Failure，they say, is the best teacher. We learn and have more confidence in what we know through trial and error, which onetime or another has 36 failure. You don’t have to 37 your failure if what you really want to achieve is 38 .For every 39 achievement, there have been one or more failures. But those who we call successful are those who 40 to accept failure and believe success is the other side of failure. The incandescent light (白炽灯) was 41 after 1,000 failures. If Thomas Edison had 42 after he tried 100 times without the desired result, what would have been the 43 of such effort?Any time you see products and new inventions, think in terms of failures that are not accepted.44 everything in a microform (微缩过程) today is a result of failure not accepted.Any time your effort is not bringing a(n) 45 result, you don’t have to call it a failure. Call it a challenge. What is the 46 between the two? One is negative, the other is 47 ; one demotivates , the other motivates.What you need is positive thinking and motivation to 48 success. Failure is an end thing; 49 is an open thing. Failure means there is no way out, no alternative, but a challenge is a question mark 50 another way out of the situation, an alternative 51 to the problem.Keep dreaming, keep moving; that is the solution to success.A wise man once said if you cannot fly, run. If you cannot 52 ,walk. If you cannot walk, crawl; just keep moving. If you fall down, you have to 53 and start moving. If not, other people will step on you towards their 54 .

She has been counting every day while she waits for the products she ordered to arrive, as many deliveries have been delayed over the past month.“It took more than a week for one of my parcels to arrive from Beijing while, in the past, it took only four days,〞said Yao.She is just one of the many who like shopping on Taobao , the country’s largest online shopping site, which has posted apologetic announcements to customers for the delays in deliveries.“Many parcels are still at the airport and cannot be delivered on time, but I think I will do my best.〞Taobao clothes retailer(零售商) IM Shop said on its website. Meanwhile, major express delivery companies in China have put up notices saying they are ready to cope with the delay in recent days.“It was mainly caused by a big increase in online shopping orders because of discounts offered by e-commerce companies,〞said Chen Shousong, an analyst with domestic research company Analysis International.Taobao Mall, the country’s largest business-to-customer shopping site by market share, for example, rolled out a large-scale discount on November 11 in which 150 brands sold their products at half price. The discount attracted the attention of many e-shopping enthusiasts who spent 936 million yuan( $ 142 million) in just one day. The recent shortage of diesel oil, which restricts delivery vehicles’ capacity, and bad weather conditions in North China, also added to an already overloaded express delivery market.Bottlenecks in delivery often appear before long holidays, such as the coming Christmas and New Year holidays and the Chinese traditional Spring Festival holiday. Delivery employees often quit their jobs at that time when faced with lots of work and low pay. So some express delivery companies are applying to build their own teams, even airlines.64. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. Waiting for the Postman ImpatientlyB. Shopping on Taobao ConvenientlyC. Arguing with Retailers Online HeatedlyD. Suffering from Large-scale Discounts65. Why were many deliveries delayed last month?A. The airport didn’t perform their duty properly.B. Some customers didn’t pay enough money.C. Sales volume in online shopping goes up rapidly.D. Delivery companies are short of vehicles.【答案】C【解析】根据第三段It was mainly caused by a big increase in online shopping orders because of discounts offered by e-commerce companies,送货慢的原因是意为商家打折，网上订单剧增造成的，可知 C为正确答案。

AJimmy is an automotive mechanic, but he lost his job a few months ago. He has a good heart,but always afraid to apply for a new job.One day, he gathered up all his strength and decided to attend a job interview. His appoint⁃ment was at 10 a.m. and it was already 8:30. While waiting for a bus, he saw an elderly man wild⁃ly kicking the tyre of his car. Obviously there was something wrong with the car. Jimmy immedi⁃ately went up to lend him a hand. When Jimmy finished working on the car, the old man asked him how much he should pay for the service. Jimmy said there was no need to pay him; he justhelped someone in need, and he had to rush for an interview. Then the old man said,“Well, Icould take you to the office for your interview. It’s the least I co uld do. Please, I insist.”Jimmyagreed.Upon arrival, Jimmy found a long line of applicants waiting to be interviewed. Finally hisname was called. The interviewer was sitting on a large chair facing the office window. Rockingthe chair back and forth, he asked,“Do you really need to be interviewed?”Jimmy’s heart sank.“With the way I look now, how could I possibly pass this interview?”He thoughtto himself.Then the interviewer turned the chair and to Jimmy’s surprise, it was the old man he helpedearlier in the morning.“Sorry I had to keep you waiting, but I was pretty sure I made the right decision to have youas part of our workforce before you even stepped into this office. I just know you’d be a trustwor⁃thy worker. Congratulations!”Jimmy sat down and they shared a cup of well-deserved coffee .高三英语第 1 页（共 8 页）21. Why did Jimmy apply for a new job?A.

However, I still feel the festive atmosphere in my family.Each year, I attend not just one Thanksgiving dinner, but typically between three and four.Thanksgiving lasts all throughout the second half of the week. I travel to different housess s to spendtime with different parts of my family. We usually eat a giant amount of traditional Thanksgivingfoods such as deviled eggs, ham, green beans, potatoes, a nd breads. We don’t eat thetraditionalturkey like many families do, but we have just about everything else that someone would want toeat.After eating, we sit around and chat. Usually someone has brought a guest, such as a newboyfriend/girlfriend or a new baby, so there’s always a chance to get to know the new family mem ⁃ber, as well as catching up with family that I haven’t seen for a long time.My extended families are very different, which makes for different holiday experiences. Mymother’s family is very polite and quiet, and that makes the dinner with them seem very formal.My father’s family is the opposite. They’re loud and don’t even try to control what words comeout of their mouths. Their Thanksgiving usually includes yelling at whatever football game is onthe television. It’s very casual and relaxed. Either way, it’s nice to be able to see my family andspend time with them.In my eyes, Thanksgiving is a holiday based on being thankful for what you have, spendingtine with family, and eating a lot more food than you probably should. Not all these things go withits history, but it makes for a nice tradition.高三英语第 2 页（共 8 页）25.

She enjoys spending time both of her parent s’families although they are quitedifferent.CDriving to a friend’s house on a recent evening, I was attracted by the sight of the full moonrising just above my friend’s roof-tops. I stopped to watch it for a few moments, thinking aboutwhat a pity it was that most citizens, myself included, usually miss sights like this because wespend most of our lives indoors.My friend had also seen it. He grew up living in a forest in Europe, and the moon meant a lotto him then. It had touched much of his life.I know the feeling. Last December I took my seven- year- old daughter to the mountainous jungle of northern India with some friends. We stayed in a forest rest-house with no electricity orrunning hot water. Our group had campfires outside every night, and indoors when it was too coldoutside. The moon grew to its fullest during our trip. Between me and the high mountains lay threeor four valleys. Not a light shone in them and not a sound could be heard. It was one of the quiet⁃est places I have ever known, a bottomless well of silence. And above me was the full moon, which struck me deeply.Today our lives are filled with glass, metal, plastic and fibre-glass. We have televisions, cellphones, papers, electricity, heaters and ovens and air-conditioners, cars, computers.Struggling through traffic that evening at the end of a tiring day, most of which was spent in⁃doors, I thought that before long I would like to live in a small cottage. There I will grow vegeta⁃bles and read books and walk in the mountains, and perhaps write, but not in anger. I may be⁃come an old man there, and wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled and measure out my lifein cof⁃fee spoons. But I will be able to walk outside on a cold silent night and touch the moon.高三英语第 3 页（共 8 页）28. The best title for the passage would be ________.A. The pleasures of modern lifeB.
