In her other hand, she holds a paper carrier bag.I know this lady. It is not her first visit. She is the boy’s grandmother, and her daughter bought the house next door last October.Her daughter, Nicole, speaks fluent English. But she is now in Shanghai, and her parents are here with the little boy. Nicole has obviously told her mother that I am having heart surgery soon, so her mother has decided I need more nutrients. (56题)I know what is inside the bag—a thermos with hot soup and a stainless-steel container with rice, vegetables and either chicken, meat or shrimp, sometimes with a kind of pancake. This has become an almost-daily practice.(57题) Communication between us is somewhat affected by the fact that she doesn’t speak English and all I can say in Chinese is hello. Once, she brought an iPad as well as the food. She pointed to the screen, which displayed a message from her daughter telling me that her mother wanted to know if the food was all right and whether it was too salty. I am not used to iPads, so she indicated I should go with her to her house. Then, she handed the iPad to her husband and almost immediately I found myself looking at Nicole in Shanghai and discussing her mother’s cooking and salt intake. Instantly, tears welled in my eyes.“Your mother just can’t be bringing me meals like this all the time,”I insisted. “I can hardly do dishes in return.”“Oh, no, Lucy.” Nicole said. “Mum doesn’t like western food. Don’t worry about it; she has to cook for the three of them anyway, and she wants to do it.”The doorbell keeps ringing and there is the familiar brown paper carrier bag, handed smilingly to me.I am now working on some more Chinese words—it’s the least I can do after such a display of kindness.“Thank you” is, of course, the first one. Somehow, it seems inadequate. (58题)56. The elderly Chinese lady visits Lucy regularly because______.A. Lucy pays her to deliver foodB. Lucy likes cooking Chinese foodC. she cares about Lucy’s state of healthD. she wants to make friends with Lucy57. Nicole’s mum took an iPad to Lucy’s home for_________.A. displayingB. communicatingC. cookingD. chatting58. In this passage Lucy mainly expresses her ______.A. preference for the Chinese foodB. gratitude to the Chinese familyC. love of the advanced technologyD. affection for the Chinese languageBChinese Emoji (表情符号) Circles Globe (62题)“Funny”, a made-in-China emoji, seems to have recently moved beyond China. Now, it is more than an emoji, but a cultural expansion.Reaching Global MarketsA series of “funny” emoji-based bolsters (抱枕) have attracted the attention of Japanese customers. Even if one bolster is more than three times as expensive as in China, it doesn’t kill their desires to buy it. One Japanese customer Miki said, “They are just so cute and I bought three bolsters at one time for my family. And every time I see them, my mood just brightens suddenly.” (59题)A Japanese netizen Kiro Kara said, “I think the emoji implies very complicated meanings. My dad will send it when he doesn’t agree with someone but he has to say someth ing and behave politely.”Addition to Domestic Social MediaCompared with Japanese impressions of the “funny” emoji, Chinese netizens prefer to use the emoji to tease one another on social media.One commonly seen online comment is, “We strongly suggest st opping the usage of the emoji. Because every time other people send me the emoji, I feel very uncomfortable and consider myself as a fool.”Regarded as the most popular emoji, the “funny” emoji has received much attention since its release in 2013. In fac t, the “funny” emoji is the updated version of its original one; “funny” has a smiley mouth, two eyebrows and a naughty look. All these characteristics present users a sense of satire (讽刺). (60题)In Everyday Use AbroadIt’s not the first time the Chinese emoji takes the world stage. Earlier this year, one emoji from the Chinese basketball celebrity Yao Ming has been spread through the Middle East region. In a city in southern Egypt, Yao’s smiling emoji has appeared frequently in local traffic signs to remind peoplethe road ahead is one-way. Many locals do notknow Yao Ming but are familiar with his emojiand nickname “Chinese Funny Face”.As a new online language, emojis havebecome a necessary part of people’s daily li fe, helping people express their views in a more vivid and precise way. (61题) Also, it can help foreigners learn about Chinese culture. But how to properly use “the fifth innovation in China” without hurting others and turn them into commercial advantages still need answers.59. Why do the bolsters attract Miki’s attention?A. They are inexpensive.B. They help reach an agreement.C. They help brighten the mood.D. They are helpful to express desire.60. According to the passage, which of the following is the latest “funny” emoji?A. B. C. D.61. Emojis are so popular worldwide mainly because people use them to ______.A. express their views more vividlyB. present their sense of satire directlyC. imply very complicated meanings properlyD. tease one another on social media purposely62. The main purpose of the text is to ______.A. promote the emoji worldwideB. teach us how to use the emojiC. explain the meaning the emojiD. show us the popularity of the emojiCEvery year billions of pounds are spent on hair loss treatment. If we succeed in curing hair loss with 3D printed hair follicles(毛囊), it will be a huge revolution.L’Oreal, the cosmetics firm is partnering with a French bio-printing company called Poietis, which has developed a form of laser(激光) printing for cell-based objects. Poietis’ technique begins with the creation of a digital map that determines where living cells and other tissue components should be placed to create the desired biological structure. This involves how the cells are expected to grow over time. The file based on the digital map is then turned into instructions for the printing equipment, so that it can lay down tiny droplets made out of the cell-based "bio ink" one layer at a time. The printingprocess involves bouncing a pulsing laser off a mirror and through a lens, so that when it hits a ribbon(色带) containing the bio ink, a droplet of the matter falls into place. About 10,000 of these micro-droplets are created every second. (63题)It typically takes about 10 minutes to print a piece of skin 1cm wide by thick. However, since hair follicles are complex and consist of 15 different cells in a structure, they may take longer.Poietis is not the only company working on bio-printing, but most others use another way, which involves pushing a bio-ink through a nozzle(喷嘴), rather than lasers to build their tissue. Poietis suggests its technique puts less stress on the biological matter, meaning there is less risk of causing it damage. (64题)Alopecia UK—a charity that provides support and advice about hair loss—has mixed feelings about the development.“It is encouraging to know that (66题)companies such as L’Oreal are investing in technology that may help those with hair loss in t he future,” said spokeswoman Amy Johnson.(66题) “However, we would suggest it’s still very early to be getting excited about what this potentially could mean for those with medical hair loss. At this point it is unclear as to whether this technology could benefit those with all types of hair loss.” (65题)“Also, if this new technology does lead to a treatment option, given the high costs of existing hair transplant procedures, how many people will be able to realistically afford any new technological advances that may become available? (65题) As with any other research and development into processes that may be able to help those with hair loss, we watch with great interest.”63. What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us?A. How the printing process is carried out.B. Where the living cells should be placed.C. How long the cells are expected to grow.D. What the printing equipment is made up of.64. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. hair follicleB. biological matterC. nozzleD. bio-ink65. The passage implies that the new technology may ______.A. meet some practical challengesB. help people with hair loss at presentC. offer solutions to all problems of hair lossD. cost a large sum of money to transplant hair66. What is Amy Johnson’s attitude towards the new technology?A. Disapproving.B. Optimistic.C. Cautious.D. Negative.DThere is no doubt eCommerce is growing, and it will continue to grow. However, physical stores would not die as a result of the rise of eCommerce, at least not in the near future. The idea that eCommerce is taking over physical stores has already misguided many people. Physical stores are far from vanishing, and there are some solid reasons for it. (69题)The projections for online spending is optimistic with $150 billion expected to be spent in the coming three years, yet we are also expecting (67题) $300 billion in spending at physical stores in the same duration. Do you still think that physical-store shopping is too small to sustain the eCommerce blow?Even though consumers are staying away from physical stores that follow older concepts, yet we are seeing the rise of fresh concept stores all around the US. We are seeing innovative and attractive success stories of physical stores, ranging from clothes stores to restaurants to health spas. It would be easy to assume that this trend will continue.Indeed, many shopping malls are dying, yet there are still those shopping centers that are performing well. You can see this for yourself by visiting shopping malls near you. What I want to emphasize here is that not all shopping centers are made equal, just like not all eCommerce retailers are made equal. Both shopping malls and eCommerce sites can lose business if they fail to maintain productivity through improvements and innovations. (68题) When you visit shopping centers that are serious about their business, you would see their shops and parking lots packed.On the other hand, even e-tailers like Amazon have?experimented?with pop-up shopping concepts. It is important to bear in mind that consumers prefer face-to-face interactions instead of online interactions during shopping, meaning that?physical stores?are going to stay there.Still, eCommerce retailers are seeing all of their excitement disappear as they settle the sales tax problem associated with e-tailing. As of now, five states of America have already imposed sales tax on purchases through eCommerce sites, and e-tailers in those states have already witnessed 6 to 12 percent decrease in sales.This reinforces the fact that physical stores are here to stay, and if you are still undervaluing their growth, you are omitting a huge chunk of the retail representation. (69题)67. The underlined word "projections" in Paragraph 2 probably means____.A. intentionsB. assessmentsC. performancesD. predictions68. What can we infer from the passage?A. E-tailers are more creative businesses.B. Fresh concepts help build good business.C. Fewer consumers will visit physical stores.D. Physical stores can’t stand the blow of eCommerce.69. What is the best title for this passage?A. Is Offline Spending Greater Than Online Spending?B. Online Stores . Physical Stores—What’s the Difference?C. Will Physical Stores replace eCommerce in the Near Future？D. Does eCommerce Success Mean Physical Stores Will Disappear?70. Which of the following shows the development of the passage?两项为多余选项。

I found a chained sliding door that was wide enough for me to pass through.Inside, there was a heavy smell of dead mice in the dark. After my eyes adjusted, I noticed a shaft (升降机井) that rose all the way to the top of the barn. On one side was a one-man elevator with a long rope and roller.I stepped onto the platform and gave the rope a drag and the elevator began sliding up the shaft, but stopped halfway. After a brief panic attack, I noticed holes in the wall at regular intervals, forming a ladder. For reasons known only to an 11-year-old, I decided it would be better to go up than down. So, with shaking hands, I began climbing the wall.After what seemed like forever, I reached the top of the shaft. I stood up, dusted myself off and found…absolutely nothing of interest. It was just an empty room with a ladder leading up to the roof.I climbed all the way up here for this? Then I noticed a fire extinguisher（灭火器）,which I’d always wanted to shoot off. So this was the chance of a lifetime. I tried it, and, much to my surprise, the thing worked! It shot out a thick cloud of powder that instantly filled the r oom. I couldn’t breathe. I was going to choke to death, and they’d probably never even find my body.Luckily, I remembered the ladder to the roof. I climbed up, popped the straw roof and saw a bright blue sky.I suddenly realized the dust and powder pouring out of the top could draw attention. So when the dust had settled, I climbed down and slipped out of the chained door. I’m not sure if I was more excited about being alive or about not being caught, but I ran all the way back home.56. When the author got inside the barn, he _______.A. noticed a man on the elevatorB. opened the chained sliding doorC. saw many dead mice in the darkD. found a shaft leading to the top57. Which of the following is the right order of the author’s adventure?a. The elevator stopped halfway.b. He entered the round grain barn.c. He climbed to the top of the shaft.d. He found a fire extinguisher and shot it off.英语第3页（共12页）A. b-a-c-dB. a-c-b-dC. c-a-d-bD. b-c-a-d58. After getting out of the chained door, the author might feel _______.A. inspiredB. relievedC. surprisedD. disappointed59. From the passage, we can learn that the author was probably a boy full of _______.A. passionsB. dreamsC. curiosityD. imaginationBAs we enjoy the summer ocean waves along the beaches, we may think nervously about Steven Spielberg's Jaws and the great fear that sharks inspire in us. Yet we are happy to see global efforts to protect the declining number of sharks. The world has realized that we need the species, like sharks, to keep a balanced ecosystem.Sharks, in particular, are “in” these days. Thanks to good public policy and famous stars such as Jackie Chan and Ang Lee, killing sharks for fin soup is no longer cool.The demand for shark fins has been rising for decades, threatening sharks with extinction（灭绝）—up to 100 million sharks are killed each year just for their fins. But we have started to reverse the trend, particularly in many areas of the United States and overseas where restaurants once proudly provided delicious shark fins on the menu.In California, a ban on the sale and possession of shark fin soup has gone into effect this year through the efforts of Wild Aid and other organizations.Overseas marketing and public efforts featuring posters on public transportation systems and TV ads have been underway for the past few years. These efforts all show signs of success, on both the supply side and the demand side of trade in shark fins.Actually, stopping the killing of sharks is part of a broader movement to stop the killing of wild animals and the buying and selling of wildlife products. These products come from hunting elephants, tigers and rhinos, besides killing marine life.Whether it is shark fin soup or ivory piano keys, killing animals is big business. The hunting of elephants in search of ivory tusks for luxury（奢侈的）goods has become a full-scale war. The decrease of African elephant populations is alarming. Together with international partners, the United States is leading the worldwide effort to reduce demand for high-end products that rely on killing animals.60. T he underlined word “reverse” in Paragraph 3 probably means _______.A. showB. keepC. followD. change61. From the passage, we know _______.A. Jackie Chan and Ang Lee make fin soup popularB. a lot of wild animals have been killed for productsC. Steven Spielberg's Jaws inspires us to protect sharksD. the number of African elephants has been increased62. What can we infer from the passage?A. More animals for high-end products will be saved.B. People have kicked the habit of having shark fin soup.C. Shark fins will not be available any more in restaurants.D. Global efforts have succeeded in stopping killing wild animals.英语第4页（共12页）CDear David,I’m glad you would like to share your feelings with me. It’s hardly surprising that your f eelings of not being “grown up” have come on strongly at this point in your life, just before you’re about to become a father. You are asking: will I make a good father? How will I cope? Should I have brought another little person into the world? Can I provide for it? Heeelp! I think nearly every sensitive about-to-be-parent must have these occasional feelings of self-doubt and inadequacy（不适）before the birth and it would be most unusual if you didn’t share them.It’s difficult, honestly, to feel grown-up unless you have something less grown-up to relate to. The boss with a hen-pecking wife may feel like a seven-year-old when he’s at home. But as he walks through the office door, and knows he’s going to be surrounded by staff looking to him for advice, he gro ws into a fully mature man. And I think it’s a mistake to imagine that we all feel, as we age, a kind of progression of states, from the baby to the adult. Most people feel, on Tuesday, about three years old, and on a Wednesday, around 80. I remember feeling very grown-up at eight, a time when I was weighed down with responsibility. These days, much older, I can, in the company of people I feel at ease with, feel like a young girl.There’s a common remark that “all men are little boys”, but it’s not true. It’s more true that men often behave like little boys. But nearly all people, at some moments in their lives, are capable of great maturity.Once your baby arrives, you’ll soon feel less childlike, or rather, less often. When your child tries to put its fi ngers into the electric plug, the adult in you will rise up to prevent it. You’ll see you have very little in common with a needy child, particularly if it’s looking to you for comfort and support.Comfort yourself, David, with two truths. One is that your friends laugh when they talk about this subject because they, like you, feel frightened. And remember that people who haven’t grown up don’t go around talking about the fact that they don’t feel grown-up.Hope my advice will be helpful and good luck to you and your little one.Sincerely Yours,Miss Advice63. According to the passage, Miss Advice thinks David’s self-doubt _______.A. valuableB. naturalC. unusualD. bearable64. From Paragraph 2, we can learn that people’s sense of maturity _______.A. will increase with ageB. is obviously seen at homeC. changes with different situationsD. becomes stronger with familiar people65. Miss Advice holds that _______.A. all men behave like little boysB. people tend to laugh at the subjectC. men with a baby feel more grown-up英语第5页（共12页）D. people enjoy talking about their immaturity66. Miss Advice wrote the letter to _______.A. offer suggestions to a future fatherB. teach people how to grow upC. encourage people to be responsibleD. solve problems of the less grown-upDDoes everyone want a challenging job? In spite of all the attention focused by the media, academicians, and social scientists on human potential and the needs of individuals, there is no evidence to support that the vast majority of workers want challenging jobs. Some individuals prefer highly complex and challenging jobs; others develop in simple, routine work.The individual-difference variable（变量）that seems to gain the greatest support for explaining who prefers a challenging job and who doesn’t is the strength of an individual’s needs for personal growth and self-direction at work. Individuals with these higher-order growth needs are more responsive for challenging work. What percentage of ordinary workers actually desire higher-order need satisfactions and will respond positively to challenging jobs? No current data is available, but a study from the 1970s estimated the figure at about 15%. Even after adjusting for changing work attitudes and the growth in white-collar jobs, it seems unlikely that the number today exceeds 40%.The strongest voice advocating challenging jobs has not been workers—it’s been professors, social science researchers, and media people. Professors, researchers, and journalists undoubtedly made their career choices, to some degree, because they wanted jobs that gave them autonomy, recognition and challenge. That, of course, is their choice. But for them, to force their needs onto the workforce in general is presumptuous (冒失的).Not every employee is looking for a challenging job. Many workers meet their higher-order need off the job. There are 168 hours in every individual’s week. Work rarely consumes more than 30% of this time. That leaves considerable opportunities, even for individuals with strong growth needs, to find higher-order need satisfaction outside the workplace. So don’t feel you have a responsibility to create challenging jobs for all your employees. For many people, work is something that will never excite or challenge them. And they don’t expect to find their growth opportunities at work. Work is merely something they have to do to pay their bills. They can find challenges outside of work on the golf course, fishing, at their local pub, with their friends in social clubs, with their family, and the like.67. What makes people choose challenging jobs?A. Positive responses.B. Work attitudes.C. Higher-order growth needs.D. Personal self-direction.68. Who is the least likely to prefer a challenging job?A. College professors.B. Construction workers.C. Social researchers.D. Media journalists.69. The passage is intended for _______.A. job-huntersB. researchersC. graduatesD. employers70. Which is the best title for the passage?A. Not Everyone Wants a Challenging Job英语第6页（共12页）B. Complex Jobs Offer Growth OpportunitiesC. Employers Should Create Challenging JobsD. Challenging Jobs Give a Sense of Recognition第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）How to Love Your ParentsEven if you think that your parents are mean-spirited at times, loving your parents is a normal and fulfilling part of life. You love them for the fact that they created you, raised you, and are in part a source of who you are. Here are some ways to love your parents.____71____ A gentle “good morning” and “I love you” will warm a coldest heart. Remember that they brought you into this world. Without your parents, we might still wander at an unknown corner in an unknown world.Respect them more and cherish these moments. You can use these moments to learn from them for when you're off on your own. It's OK to get angry but angry actions don't help you or your parents. Act calmly, cool off, journal about your feelings, or talk to a friend. ____72____ Obey their requests. It will make your attitude better and earn you more respect from them. It may seem like you a re going through hell when you don’t get what you want or you have to clean. However, you had better rem ember they keep a roof over your head when it’s cold, raining, snowing, or too hot. Understand that parents are human beings and make mistakes.____73____ Since you can forgive your friends, why not forgive your parents?Keep company with them. Do things with your parents like watching TV, or go somewhere with them. ____74____ Listen to their old stories and learn from them. You will find they are your teachers in this way or another.Some people simply may not be able to love their parents. ____75____ Seek help if you are being abused in any way.

Other days, I feel a sense of expectation within me just thinking about fall that makes me want to burst. Tonight, all five of us were in the family room doing our own things.At this moment, my littlest kid is my number one trouble and my number one joy. He has a tooth on the way and although it’s such a tiny thing, it’s causing so much grief. I’m holding him a lot and I’m not going to lie. I live for his afternoon nap (小睡) so I’m able to actually get dressed and use the restroom.The big E is starting school soon. The other day, I found myself a bit depressed about the end of summer and the beginning of another school year. I looked out of our front window with eyes that were heavy and a bit teary. Then, I suddenly realized just how silly this end of summer depression of mine is. I can’t change time. But, I can change my emotions and my tho ughts. I decided not to spend my final days of summer vacation walking around with a sad face. I decided to hug the last few days of summer and remind myself that before I know it, we will be back in our school routine and all will go well.This week we plan on meeting teachers. I’m taking my girl to have her nails done before her first day of kindergarten. We want to bake a few dozen cookies. We’ll take our evening walks as usual and stay up late. And last but not least, I’ll get school cloth ready, I’ll pack lunches and write lunch notes, we’ll read“The Kissing Hand,”like we normally do, and I’ll tuck (掖好被子) my third grader and kindergartener in their little beds before the big first day.Thank you summer, you’ve been warm and wonderful, you’ve been sweet and sticky, you’ve been refreshing and exactly what we need. And your sunsets have been amazing, so thank you.56. According to Paragraph 1, the author __________.A. feels excitedB. has mixed feelingsC. feels worriedD. has bad feelings57. How will the author spend the final days of the summer vacation?A. Live a simple life.B. Stay at home and relax herself.C. Treasure the vacation.D. Walk around with a depressed face.58. From the passage, we can learn that the author __________.A. is fond of reading novelsB. has two annoying childrenC. often takes evening walksD. has no time to get dressedBEver walked to the shops only to find, once there, you’ve completely forgotten what you went for? Or struggled to remember the name of an old friend? For years we’ve accepted that a forg etful brain is as much a part of ageing as wrinkles and grey hair. But now a new book suggests that we’ve got it all wrong.According to The Secret Life of the Grown-up Brain, by science writer Barbara Strauch, when it comes to the important things, our brains actually get better with age. In fact, she argues that some studies have found that our brain hits its peak between our 40s and 60s – much later than previously thought.Furthermore, rather than losing many brain cells as we age, we retain them, and even produce new ones well into middle age. For years it’s been assumed that brain, much like the body, declines with age. But the longest, largest study into what happens to people as they age suggestsotherwise.This continuing research has followed 6,000 people since 1956, testing them every seven years. It has found that on average, participants performed better on cognitive (认知的) tests in their 40s and 50s than they had done in their 20s. Specifically, order people did better on tests of vocabulary, verbal memory (how many words you can remember) and problem solving. Where they performed less well was number ability and perceptual speed – how fast you can push a button when ordered. However, with more complex tasks such as problem-solving and language, we are at our best at middle age and beyond. In short, researchers are now coming up with scientific proof that we do get wiser with age.Neuroscientists are also finding that we are happier with ageing. A recent US study found older people were much better at controlling and balancing their emotions. It is thought that when we’re younger we need to focus more on the negative aspects of life in order to learn about the possible dangers in the world, but as we get older we’ve learne d our lessons and are sub-consciously aware that we have less time left in life: therefore, it becomes more important for us to be happy.59. Barbara Strauch probably agrees that __________.A. the young are better at handling important thingsB. people’s brains work best between their 40s and 60sC. ageing leads to the decline of the function of the brainD. wrinkles and grey hair are the only symbols of ageing60. The continuing research has found older people perform better on __________.A. vocabulary testsB. number abilityC. perceptual speedD. body balance61. People are happier with age because __________.A. they learn to value the time leftB. they know how to share feelingsC. they cannot focus on negative aspectsD. they do not realize the possible dangers62. What is the main idea of the passage?A. People get wiser with age.B. People get more forgetful with age.C. People get happier with age.D. People get more self-aware with age.CEveryone procrastinates. We put things off because we don’t want to do them, or because we have too many other things on our plates. Putting things off – big or small –is part of being human. But procrastination does have consequences. When your procrastination leaves you feeling discouraged, it is time to take action, and one of the best ways to get rid of it is to make an un-scheduled.An un-schedule is a weekly calendar of all the ways in which your time is already accounted for. You consider not only your timed commitments such as classes and meetings, but also your untimed activities such as meals, exercise, time with friends, and the like. Once you have made your un-schedule, you may be able to see your time is often filled with more activities than you realize, for instance, that you really don’t have five hours to spend writing on the night before your paper is due. Procrastinators’ views of time tend to b e unrealistic, and the un-schedule can help you outline a realistic plan.By planning accordingly, you will not only get a better night’s sleep, you may also end up witha better paper.The un-schedule might also be a good way to get started on a larger project, such as a term paper or an honors paper. You may think that you have “all semester” to get the writing done, but if you really map out how much time you have available to write on a daily and weekly basis, you will see that you need to get started sooner, rather than later. In addition, the un-schedule may reveal especially busy weeks or months, which will help you budget time for long-term projects. Perhaps most importantly, the un-schedule can help you examine how you spend your time. You may be surprised at how much time you spend watching television, and decide to make a change. It’s especially important that you build time for fun activities into your un-schedule. Otherwise, you will procrastinate in order to steal time for relaxation.You can also use the un-schedule to record your progress towards your goal. Reward yourself for your small successes. Seeing what you’ve achieved will help you reinforce (强化) the productive behavior, and you will feel more motivated in the following process.As you explore ways to conquer procrastination, don’t expect overnight transformation. You developed the habit over a long time; you aren’t going stop magically. But you can change the behavior, bit by bit. If you start to make an un-schedule now, you will eventually develop new habits.63. From Paragraph 2, we can know that procrastinators __________.A. usually have sleeping problemsB. tend to be unrealistic in daily lifeC. spend more time in doing exerciseD. often fail to notice untimed activities64. Which of the following statements best reflects an un-schedule?A. “Now I have more time for fun.”B. “I can start my big project later.”C. “I’ll treat myself to a movie for my progress.”D. “I’m going to have more time to finish my paper.”65. According to the writer, people need to make an un-schedule because of their __________.A. interests in doing things differentlyB. determination to try out new thingsC. inability to manage time properlyD. lack of concentration on a project66. The author writes the passage to __________.A. show concernsB. offer suggestionsC. express dissatisfactionD. make commentsDI wish documentaries, not movies. I read history books, not fiction. I use every free moment to accomplish one of the tasks on my never-ending checklist, and I am completely filled with thoughts of productivity. An hour sleeping is an hour wasted. And like the rest of 21st century America, I like it. But this fixation on productivity is increasingly destroying character and transforming men into robots.New York Times columnist David Brooks warned American University students of this cultural decline in a speech. “We cut off all things spiritual and emotional in a competitive urge to stand out”, he said, “The pressure to succeed professionally, to acquire skills, to do the things you need to do to succeed in an information age economy really became the overwhelming (难以应付的) pressure, and it sort of eclipses the thinking about character and morality.Many students happily go to college, viewing it as a next step on their rise to professional achievement. Forcing as many success-building activities into their schedules as they can, they enjoy keeping busy with little sleep. “Today’s outstanding kids are likely to spend theirafternoons and weekends shuttling from one skill-improving activity to the next,” Brooks wrote in an article, “We fear failure more than we desire success.”A century ago, college was about character building. Today, our characters are in decline. We are experts on economics, material things and professional skills. We fail to discuss andunderstand relationships, emotions and all things spiritual. Philosophers Karl Popper divided the world into two categories: Clocks and Clouds. Clock problems are those that can be taken apart, examined and solved through deductive reasoning (演绎推理). Clouds cannot be taken apart. Cloud problems represent whole systems that need to be understood in a different way. “When we have a Cloud problem, we try to turn into a Clock problem,” Brooks said. And in a reason-centered culture, adding titles to one’s resume becomes a trend. At American University, 85 percent of seniors (and 89 percent of business majors) graduate with at least one practical experience which is often helpful to a student’s future career, but can sometimes draw focus away from academics.To prevent the death of man’s character, B rooks urges rediscovering our human natures through falling in love. And by love he means love for a task, job, or another person. “Synchronicity is key to happiness,” he said. Rather than crazily increasing our long lists of accomplishments, we need to lose ourselves in what we do, and success will come on its own.67. From Paragraph 1, we can learn that people __________.A. are controlled by timeB. are keen on reading booksC. are changing their charactersD. are eager to achieve more68. In Paragraph 2, the underlined word “eclipses” means __________.A. deletesB. weakensC. worsensD. emphasizes69. The last paragraph mainly tells us that __________.A. love is more important than focusB. the focus on human natures countsC. more work contributes to happinessD. success comes from devotion to work.70. The purpose of this passage is to __________.A. bring awareness to character buildingB. stress the importance of productivityC. warn about the pressure to seek successD. criticize students’desire for achievements 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）Weighing the OptionsMaking decisions when shopping is often a tough call. Even if you’re satisfied with the first dress you try on, would you go on looking for alternatives, comparing styles and prices, until literally dropped dead?Psychology researchers have studied how people make decisions and concluded there are two basic styles. “Maximizes” like to take their tim e and weigh a wide range of options, –sometimes every possible one –before choosing. “Satisficers” would rather be fast than thorough. __________ (71) So even if they see what would seem to meet their requirements, they can’t make a decision until after they’ve examined every option to make sure that they’re making the best possible choice. Researchers followed 548 job-seeking college seniors at 11 schools from October through their graduation in June. They found that the maximizers landed better jobs. __________ (72)“The maximizers is kicking himself because he can’t examine every option and at some point had to just pick something,” they say. “Maximizers make best decisions and end up feeling bad about them. __________ (73)”Satisficers also have high standards, but they are happier than maximizers. Maximizers tend to be more depressed and to report a lower satisfaction with life, his research found. Faced with so many choices in our lives, we need to learn how not to waste time and energy on our decision-making. _________ (74) For instance, if you’re picking a restaurant for lunch meeting, first deciding on a certain part of town or type of cuisine can narrow your options.Once you’ve arrived at a decision, stick with it. __________ (75) To limit the nu mber of options you can set a time for decision-making. Say you are buying a new bag, you could spend an amount of time studying features, price and value – but if you give yourself only five minutes to make a decision, and there are only bags you can cons ider, you’ll save time. You’ll be happier with your decision, too.A. Maximizers are people who want the best.B. First of all, decrease your range of options.C. Comparing is often a must when you make a decision.D. Just accept that no decision is ever completely perfect.E. Satisficers make good decisions and end up feeling good.F. The other is to make decisions more accurately at the beginning.G. Their starting salaries were 20 percent higher but they felt worse about their jobs第四部分：书面表达（共两节，35分）第一节（15分）你的英国朋友Tom 将来你家共度除夕，你打算当天下午去地铁站接他。

In her other hand, she holds a paper carrier bag.I know this lady. It is not her first visit. She is the boy’s grandmother, and her daughter bought the house next door last October.Her daughter, Nicole, speaks fluent English. But she is now in Shanghai, and her parents are here with the little boy. Nicole has obviously told her mother that I am having heart surgery soon, so her mother has decided I need more nutrients. (56题)I know what is inside the bag—a thermos with hot soup and a stainless-steel container with rice, vegetables and either chicken, meat or shrimp, sometimes with a kind of pancake. This has become an almost-daily practice.(57题) Communication between us is somewhat affected by the fact that she doesn’t speak English and all I can say in Chinese is hello. Once, she brought an iPad as well as the food. She pointed to the screen, which displayed a message from her daughter telling me that her mother wanted to know if the food was all right and whether it was too salty. I am not used to iPads, so she indicated I should go with her to her house. Then, she handed the iPad to her husband and almost immediately I found myself looking at Nicole in Shanghai and discussing her mother’s cooking and salt intake. Instantly, tears welled in my eyes.“Your mother just can’t be bringing me meals like this all the time,” I insisted. “I can hardly do dishes in return.”“Oh, no, Lucy.”Nicole said. “Mum doesn’t like western food. Don’t worry about it; she has to cook for the three of them anyway, and she wants to do it.”The doorbell keeps ringing and there is the familiar brown paper carrier bag, handed smilingly to me.I am now working on some more Chinese words—it’s the least I can do after sucha display of kindness.“Thank you” is, of course, the first one. Somehow, it seems inadequate. (58题)56. The elderly Chinese lady visits Lucy regularly because______.A. Lucy pays her to deliver foodB. Lucy likes cooking Chinese foodC. she cares about Lucy’s state of healthD. she wants to make friends with Lucy57. Nicole’s mum took an iPad to Lucy’s home for_________.A. displayingB. communicatingC. cookingD. chatting58. In this passage Lucy mainly expresses her ______.A. preference for the Chinese foodB. gratitude to the Chinese familyC. love of the advanced technologyD. affection for the Chinese languageBChinese Emoji (表情符号) Circles Globe (62题)“Funny”, a made-in-China emoji, seems to have recently moved beyond China. Now, it is more than an emoji, but a cultural expansion.Reaching Global MarketsA series of “funny” emoji-based bolsters (抱枕) have attracted the attention of Japanese customers. Even if one bolster is more than three times as expensive as in China, it doesn’t kill their desires to buy it. One Japanese customer Miki said, “They are just so cute and I bought three bolsters at one time for my fam ily. And every time I see them, my mood just brightens suddenly.” (59题)A Japanese netizen Kiro Kara said, “I think the emoji implies very complicated meanings. My dad will send it when he doesn’t agree with someone but he has to say something and behave p olitely.”Addition to Domestic Social MediaCompared with Japanese impressions of the “funny” emoji, Chinese netizens prefer to use the emoji to tease one another on social media.One commonly seen online comment is, “We strongly suggest stopping the usage of the emoji. Because every time other people send me the emoji, I feel very uncomfortable and consider myself as a fool.”Regarded as the most popular emoji, the “funny” emoji has received much attention since its release in 2013. In fact, the “funny” e moji is the updated version of its original one; “funny” has a smiley mouth, two eyebrows and a naughty look. All these characteristics present users a sense of satire (讽刺). (60题) In Everyday Use AbroadIt’s not the first time the Chinese emoji takes the w orld stage. Earlier this year, one emoji from the Chinese basketball celebrity Yao Ming has been spread through the Middle East region. In a city in southern Egypt, Yao’s smiling emoji has appeared frequently in local traffic signs to remind people the road ahead is one-way. Many locals do not know Yao Ming but are familiar with his emoji and nickname “Chinese Funny Face”.As a new online language, emojis have become a necessary part of people’s daily life, helping people express their views in a more vivid and precise way. (61题) Also, it can help foreigners learn about Chinese culture. But how to properly use “the fifth innovation in China” without hurting others and turn them into commercialadvantages still need answers.59. Why do the bolsters attrac t Miki’s attention?A. They are inexpensive.B. They help reach an agreement.C. They help brighten the mood.D. They are helpful to express desire.60. According to the passage, which of the following is the latest “funny” emoji?A. B. C. D.61. Emojis are so popular worldwide mainly because people use them to ______.A. express their views more vividlyB. present their sense of satire directlyC. imply very complicated meanings properlyD. tease one another on social media purposely62. The main purpose of the text is to ______.A. promote the emoji worldwideB. teach us how to use the emojiC. explain the meaning the emojiD. show us the popularity of the emojiCEvery year billions of pounds are spent on hair loss treatment. If we succeed in curing hair loss with 3D printed hair follicles(毛囊), it will be a huge revolution.L’Oreal, the cosmetics firm is partnering with a French bio-printing company called Poietis, which has developed a form of laser(激光) printing for cell-based objects. Poietis’ technique begins with the creation of a digital map that determines where living cells and other tissue components should be placed to create the desired biological structure. This involves how the cells are expected to grow over time. The file based on the digital map is then turned into instructions for the printing equipment, so that it can lay down tiny droplets made out of the cell-based "bio ink" one layer at a time. The printing process involves bouncing a pulsing laser off a mirror and through a lens, so that when it hits a ribbon(色带) containing the bio ink, a droplet of the matter falls into place. About 10,000 of these micro-droplets are created every second. (63题)It typically takes about 10 minutes to print a piece of skin 1cm wide by thick. However, since hair follicles are complex and consist of 15 different cells in a structure, they may take longer.Poietis is not the only company working on bio-printing, but most others use another way, which involves pushing a bio-ink through a nozzle(喷嘴), rather than lasers to build their tissue. Poietis suggests its technique puts less stress on the biological matter, meaning there is less risk of causing it damage. (64题) Alopecia UK—a charity that provides support and advice about hair loss—has mixed feelings about the development.“It is encouraging to know that (66题)companies such as L’Oreal are investing in technology that may help those with hair loss in the future,” said spokeswoman Amy Johnson.(66题) “However, we would suggest it’s still very early to be getting excited about what this potentially could mean for those with medical hair loss. At this point it is unclear as to whether this technology could benefit those with all types of hair loss.” (65题)“Als o, if this new technology does lead to a treatment option, given the high costs of existing hair transplant procedures, how many people will be able to realistically afford any new technological advances that may become available? (65题) As with any other research and development into processes that may be able to help those with hair loss, we watch with great interest.”63. What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us?A. How the printing process is carried out.B. Where the living cells should be placed.C. How long the cells are expected to grow.D. What the printing equipment is made up of.64. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. hair follicleB. biological matterC. nozzleD. bio-ink65. The passage implies that the new technology may ______.A. meet some practical challengesB. help people with hair loss at presentC. offer solutions to all problems of hair lossD. cost a large sum of money to transplant hair66. What is Amy Johnson’s attitude towards the new technolog y?A. Disapproving.B. Optimistic.C. Cautious.D. Negative.DThere is no doubt eCommerce is growing, and it will continue to grow. However, physical stores would not die as a result of the rise of eCommerce, at least not in the near future. The idea that eCommerce is taking over physical stores has alreadymisguided many people. Physical stores are far from vanishing, and there are some solid reasons for it. (69题)The projections for online spending is optimistic with $150 billion expected to be spent in the coming three years, yet we are also expecting (67题) $300 billion in spending at physical stores in the same duration. Do you still think that physical-store shopping is too small to sustain the eCommerce blow?Even though consumers are staying away from physical stores that follow older concepts, yet we are seeing the rise of fresh concept stores all around the US. We are seeing innovative and attractive success stories of physical stores, ranging from clothes stores to restaurants to health spas. It would be easy to assume that this trend will continue.Indeed, many shopping malls are dying, yet there are still those shopping centers that are performing well. You can see this for yourself by visiting shopping malls near you. What I want to emphasize here is that not all shopping centers are made equal, just like not all eCommerce retailers are made equal. Both shopping malls and eCommerce sites can lose business if they fail to maintain productivity through improvements and innovations. (68题) When you visit shopping centers that are serious about their business, you would see their shops and parking lots packed.On the other hand, even e-tailers like Amazon have experimented with pop-up shopping concepts. It is important to bear in mind that consumers prefer face-to-face interactions instead of online interactions during shopping, meaning that physical stores are going to stay there.Still, eCommerce retailers are seeing all of their excitement disappear as they settle the sales tax problem associated with e-tailing. As of now, five states of America have already imposed sales tax on purchases through eCommerce sites, and e-tailers in those states have already witnessed 6 to 12 percent decrease in sales.This reinforces the fact that physical stores are here to stay, and if you are still undervaluing their growth, you are omitting a huge chunk of the retail representation. (69题)67. The underlined word "projections" in Paragraph 2 probably means____.A. intentionsB. assessmentsC. performancesD. predictions68. What can we infer from the passage?A. E-tailers are more creative businesses.B. Fresh concepts help build good business.C. Fewer consumers will visit physical stores.D. Physical stores can’t sta nd the blow of eCommerce.69. What is the best title for this passage?A. Is Offline Spending Greater Than Online Spending?B. Online Stores . Physical Stores—What’s the Difference?C. Will Physical Stores replace eCommerce in the Near Future？D. Does eCommerce Success Mean Physical Stores Will Disappear?70. Which of the following shows the development of the passage?D.CP: Central Point P: Point Sp: Sub-point (次要点) C: Conclusion第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

In the downturn that began in December 2007, the recession ruined the w ealthiest cconsumer markets—the united States, Europe, Japan—there were very few safe shelters. But some countries, such as Peru, managed to grow right through the global recession. And some companies arranged their business so that they resisted the contraction and benefited from the trends affecting their industry. Some even managed to bring more business.Chief among the Great Recession’s winners is McDonald’s.McDo nald’s sales growth in 2014 was greater than in 2006 and 2007. while many restaurants reduced their business operation, it opened nearly 600 stores in 2014. and the chain has achieved same-store sales growth in each of 2014’s first seven months.In 2014, after a decade of severely trading up to higher quality consumer goods and services, Americans began to trade down with a vengeance（报复）. McDonald’s, which has 44 percent of its 32,000 stores in the United States, was set up to profit from trading downin two ways. Fist, in a recession, people eat out less and at home more frequently. And when they eat out, they eat at cheaper places. McDonald’s is so cheap, efficient, and convenient that it was a practical alternative to cas ual restaurants like Ruby Tuesday.In the United States, McDonald’s may be a cheap source of caloriesin food. In other parts of the world, McDonald’s is an appealingbrand, identified with middle-class, westernized consumerism. Much of the world, such as China, India, is still not developed for the Golden Arches. Coincidentally, these are the right places where its business has continued to grow during the global recession. While it faces operational challenges in markets, McDonald’s has benefited form a weakening dollar and rising incomes in Asia.The question now for investors（投资者）is whether McDonald’s can survive the recovery. [来源学#科#网Z#X#X#K]When people feel better-off, will they still stop by? The growth in same-store sales in the United States has come down a little in recent months. And there’s a rising amount of the population that has grown accustomed to eating healthier and better. Going forward, McDonald’s may face larger cultural barriers in the United States than in China.67．From the passage we can infer that in the recession.A．the developing countries grew wealthierB．the rich countries became unable to recoverC．the Western companies suffered a great lossD．the opportunities were brought as well as challenges68．McDonald’s managed to remain popular in the recession mainly because of .A．its good operation B．the American food cultureC．its low price and convenience D．the weak value of dollars69．The underlined word “contraction” in Paragrap h Imeans .A．formal written agreement B．influence on industryC．disappointing management D．process of reduced trade70．What can be the best title for this passage?A．Who Won the RecessionB．Who Traded down in the RecessionC．How Western Business Survived the RecessionD．How McDonald’s Kept Growing after the Recession第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共2014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。

Those with TVs in their bedrooms scored about eight points lower on math and language arts tests than children without bedroom TVs.A second study ,looking at nearly 1000 grown-ups in New Zealand, found lower education levels among 26-year -olds who had watched lots of TV during childhood .But the results don’t prove that TV is the cause and don’t ride out that already poorly motivated youngsters(年轻人）may watch lots of TV.Their study measured the TV habits of 26-year-olds between ages 5 and 15. These with college degrees had watched an average of less than two hours of TV per week night during childhood, compared with an average of more than 2 1/2 hours for those who had no education beyond high school.In the California study, children with TVs in their rooms but no computer at home scored the lowest while those with no bedroom TV but who had home computers scored the highest.While this study does not prove that bedroom TV sets caused the lower scores, it adds to accumulating findings that children shouldn't have TVs in their bedrooms 【小题1】According to the California study, the low-scoring group might ____________ .A. have had computers in their bedroomsB. not be interested in mathC. be unable to go to collegeD. have watched a lot of TV【小题2】What is the researchers’ understanding of the New Zealand study results?A.

Poorly motivated 26-year-olds watch more TV.【小题3】What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?A. More time should be spent on computers.B. TV sets shouldn't be allowed in children’s bedrooms.C. Children should be forbidden from watching TV.D. Further studies on high-achieving students should be done【小题4】What would be the best title for this text?A. Computers or TelevisionB. Studies on TV and College EducationC. Effects of Television on ChildrenD. Television and Children’s Learning Habits18．We were driving on the right road when, all of a sudden, a black car pulled out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver stepped on his brake, skidded(打滑), and missed the black car’s back end by just inches! The driver of the black car, who almost caused a major accident, turned his head angrily and started shouting bad words at us.My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy. I mean, my taxi driver was friendly. So, I said, “Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined y our car and sent us to hospital!” And the following is what my taxi driver told me, which I now call “the law of the Garbage Truck”.“Many people are like garbage(垃圾) trucks. They run around full of garbage, full of anger, and full of disappointment. As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump(倾卸)it. And if you let them, they dump it on you. When someone wants to dump on you, don’t take it personally. Just smile, wave, wish him well, and move on. Believe me. You’ll be happier.”So this is “The Law of the Garbage Truck”. I started thinking: How often do I let “Garbage Trucks” run right over me? And how often do I take their garbage and spread it to other people at work, at home, or on the streets? It was then that I said, “I’m not going to do it any more.”I began to see “Garbage Trucks”. I see the load they’re carrying. I see them coming to drop it off. And like my taxi driver, I don’t make it a personal thing;I just smile, wave, and move on.Good leaders know they have to be ready for their next meeting. Good parents know that they have to welcome their children home from school with hugs and kisses. What about you? The mark of a successful person is how quickly he can get back his focus on what’s important.【小题1】Who acted like a garbage truck in the accident described in the first two paragraphs?A. The author.B. The driver of the black car.C. The taxi driver.D. Both drivers.【小题2】The reason why the taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy is that ______.A. the black car was full of garbageB. the driver of the black car didn’t cause any damage to the taxiC. the taxi driver didn’t want his mood ruinedD. the driver of the black car was angry and the taxi driver felt a little frightened 【小题3】The underlined part “the load” in Paragraph 5 refers to _____.A. waste materialsB. excitementC. new productsD. bad mood【小题4】What is the main idea of the last paragraph?A. Always be kind and hardworking.B. Try to be good leaders as well as good parents.C. Ignore unpleasantness and stick to(坚持) your tasks.D. Do things quickly so as to be ready for the next.19．Are you a big fan of pirate（海盗） stories? Do you know how to talk like a pirate? You can have fun on September 19th. This special holiday is called International Talk Like A Pirate Day. It was invented in 1995 by two young Americans, John Baur and Mark Summers.These two good friends came up with this idea when they were playing racquetball, and began to talk like pirates. At that moment, they thought, “Young people are interested in pirate, but there is no such a chance for people to get together to share it. Why not have a day when everybody talks like a pirate?” They decided to make September 19th the date. Since then, Baur and Summers have tried hard to promote Talk Like A Pirate Day. As Baur said, “We’ve talked like pirates, and encouraged several of our friends to do so every September 19th.”At first, this day was only known by a few people. In 2002, Baur and Summers sent a letter about their invented holiday to Dave Barry. This columnist（专栏作家）really liked their idea. He promoted the holiday and made it known to more and more people. Now, it has really become an international holiday. On Talk Like A Pirate Day, you need to dress like a pirate. You should wear a big hat or maybe cover one of your eyes. You can pretend to be any kind of pirate that you can find in any story or movie.Having fun and being relaxed are not the only best things about the holiday. Young people share the same interest and childhood dreams that day. That's why it is welcomed by so many people, especially young people.Unlike traditional holidays, International Talk Like A Pirate Day is a brand new holiday which is invented by the youth themselves and celebrated by themselves too. Because of Baur and Summers’ imagination and creativity, thousands of young people’s pirate dream come true. Next time, when you have a good idea, why not share it with your fiends and insist on your belief? Maybe you can create another wonderful holiday for the youth in the future.【小题1】How did John Baur and Mark Summers invent the special holiday?A. Many young people asked them to do itB. They did it just for pleasureC. They did it in order to honor piratesD. They thought out the idea by chance and imagination【小题2】Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A. It was Dave Barry who made more people know the holiday.B. Talk Like A Pirate Day is a young, active and lively holidayC. The holiday has been popular since the birth of it.D. Thanks to John Baur and Mark Summers’ imagination and creativity, many people realize the pirate dream.【小题3】According to the passage, which of the following can show that the holiday is special?A. It is a brand new holiday invented and celebrated by the youth themselves.B. It is a wonderful and instructive holiday.C. It has a long history.D. People can make their dream come true on this day.【小题4】Which of the following can serve as the best title of the passage in a newspaper？A. You ng people’s pirate dreamB. Can you talk like a pirate?C. John Baur and Mark SummersD. September 19th—a traditional day in honor of pirates20．Today many people say that women have the same chance as men in society. But this was not always so. In the past, women all over the world had to fight to get the same chance as men in education and jobs. Many people said that women should not receive much education because they would not do as well as men when they went to work.One woman who showed that women should have the same chance was Marie, a scientist. In the 1800s scientists knew that a metal, uranium, gave off radiation. They also knew how much radiation came from his element. But they didn’t know what this radiation was like; they wondered why and how uranium gave off radiation. Marie Curie set out to answer these questions. In one of her experiments she was studying a certain material which, she knew, contained uranium, But it gave off 4 times as much radiation as usually does. What could explain this fact? Marie Curie thought that there must be another source of radiation in this material.In 1898 Marie Curie set out to find out this new source of radiation, which she named “radium”. Her husband, who was also a scientist, h elped her. They set up a laboratory in an old building behind a school. For four years Curies searched, doing many experiments, And one morning in 1902 Marie found the source of the radiation. Marie Curie proved to the world that there was element that gave off radiation. And she also proved to the world that, if women are given truly equal chance, they can really help society.【小题1】The scientists of Marie Curie’s day knew .A. that uranium gave off radiationB. that radium gave off radiationC. that there was some radium in uraniumD .that uranium and radium both gave off radiation【小题2】The Curies found the element radium .A. with other scientists’ helpB. by asking some famous scientistsC. by doing many experimentsD .w ith their teachers’ help【小题3】In the past many people thought .A. that women must get the same chance as men in education and jobsB. that women should receive much educationC. that women should get good jobsD. that women could not do the work well【小题4】Marie Curie proved to people .A. that there was a new element uraniumB. that there was a new element radiumC. that women could do their work as well as men if they were really given the same conditionsD. both B and C21．Personal computers and the Internet give people new choices about how to spend their time.Some may use this freedom to share less time with certain friends or family members, but new technology will also let them stay in closer touch with those they care most about. I know this from personal experience.E-mail makes it easy to work at home, which is where I now spend most weekends and evenings. My working hours aren’t necessarily much shorter than they once were but I spend fewer of them at the office. This lets me share more time with my young daughter than I might have if she’d been born before electronic mail became such a practical tool.The Internet also makes it easy to share thoughts with a group of friends. Say you do something fun see a great movie perhaps-and there are four or five friends who might want to hear about it. If you call each one, you may tire of telling the story. With E-mail, you just write one note about your experience, at your convenience, and address it to all the friends you think might be interested. They can read your message when they have time, and read only as much as they want to. They can reply at their convenience, and you can read what they have to say at your convenience. E-mail is also an inexpensive way stay in close touch with people who live far away. More than a few parents use E-mail to keep in touch, even daily touch, with their children off at college.We just have to keep in mind that computers and the Internet offer another way of staying in touch. They don’t take the place of an y of the old ways.【小题1】The purpose of this passage is to ________.A. explain how to use the InternetB. describe the writer’s joy of keeping up with the latest technologyC. tell the merits(价值) and usefulness of the InternetD. introduce the reader to basic knowledge about personal computers and the Internet【小题2】The use of E-mail has made it possible for the writer to ________.A. spend less time workingB. have more free time with his childC. work at home on weekendsD. work at a speed comfortable to him【小题3】According to the writer, E-mail has an obvious advantage over the telephone because the former helps one ________.A. reach a group of people at one time convenientlyB. keep one’s communication as personal as po ssibleC. pass on much more information than the laterD. get in touch with one’s friends faster than the later【小题4】 The best title for this passage is ________.A. Computer: New Technological AdvancesB. Internet: New Tool to Maintain Good FriendshipC. Computers Have Made Life EasierD.
