AIt was Thanksgiving morning. I was busy preparing the traditional Thanksgiving turkey when the doorbell rang. I opened the front door and saw two small children in rags huddling together on the top step.“Any old papers, lady？” asked one of them.I was busy. I wanted to say “no” until I looked down at their feet. They were wearing thin little sandals(凉鞋), wet with heavy snow.“Come in and I'll make you a cup of hot cocoa.”They walked over and sat down at the table. Their wet sandals left marks upon the floor. I served them cocoa and bread to fight against the cold outside. Then I went back to the kitchen and started cooking.The silence in the front room struck me. I looked in. The girl held the empty cup in her hands, looking at it. The boy asked in a flat voice, “Lady, are you rich？”“Am I rich? Pity, no！”I looked at my worn-out slipcovers(椅套). The girl put her cup back in its saucer(茶碟)carefully and said, “Your cups match your saucers.” They left after that, holding their papers against the wind. They had reminded me that I had so much for which to be grateful.Plain blue china cups and saucers were only worth five pence. But they matched.I tasted the potatoes and stirred(搅动)the meat soup. Potatoes and brown meat soup, a roof over our heads, my man with a regular job, these matched, too.I moved the chairs back from the fire and cleaned the living room. The muddy marks of little sandals were still wet upon my floor. Let them be for a while, I thought, just in case I should begin to forget how rich I am.1．Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A．Lady, are you rich? B．A story of Thanksgiving DayC．Don't forget how rich you are D．Does cups and saucers match well?2．Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A．The girl thought the writer was rich just because she wanted to make the writer happy.B．The writer had thought she wasn't rich because her supplies were not expensive.C．If cups and saucers match well, they are a best pair even though cheap.D．After hearing what they said, the writer seemed to understand what a rich life was. 3．The writer left the muddy marks of little sandals on the floor for a while to________.A．show that she was a kind-hearted ladyB．remind her that she shouldn't forget how rich she wasC．leave room for readers to think about what being rich isD．prove that she had understood what meant being rich4．It can be inferred from the text that whether you are rich depends on________.A．how much money you have made B．what attitude you have had towards life C．the way you help others D．your social relationshipBEverybody hates it, but everybody does it. A recent report said that 40％of Americans hate tipping. In America alone, tipping is a $16 billion-a-year industry. Consumers acting politely ought not to pay more than they have to for a given service. Tips should not exist. So why do they? The common opinion in the past was that tips both rewarded the efforts of good service and reduced uncomfortable feelings of inequality. And also, tipping makes for closer relations. It went without saying that the better the service, the bigger the tip.But according to a new research from Cornell University, tips no longer serve any useful function. The paper analyzes numbers they got from 2,547 groups dining at 20 different restaurants. The connection between larger tips and better service was very weak. Only a tiny part of the size of the tip had anything to do with the quality of service.Tipping is better explained, by culture than by the money people spend. In America, the custom came into being a long time ago. It is regarded as part of the accepted cost of a service. In New York restaurants, failing to tip at least l5% could well mean dissatisfaction from the customers. Hairdressers can expect to get l5%-20%, and the man who delivers your fast food $2. In Europe, tipping is less common. In many restaurants the amount of tip is decided by a standard service charge. In many Asian countries, tipping has never really caught on at all. Only a few have really taken to tipping.According to Michael Lynn, the Cornell papers' author, countries in which people are more social or outgoing tend to tip more. Tipping may reduce anxiety about being served by strangers. And Mr. Lynn says, “In America, where people are expressive and eager to mix up with others, tipping is about social approval. If you tip badly, people think less of you. Tipping well is a chance to show off."5. This passage is mainly about ________.A. different kinds of tipping in different countries命题人：马婷B. the relationship between tipping and customC. the origin and present meaning of tippingD. most American people hate tipping6. Which of the following best explains the underlined phrase "caught on"?A. become popular.B. been hated.C. been stopped.D. been permitted7. Among the following situations, in your opinion, who is likely to tip most?A. A Frenchman just quarreled with the barber who did his hair badly in New York.B. An American just had a wonderful dinner in a well known restaurant in New York.C. A Japanese businessman asked for a pizza delivery from a Pizza Hut in New York.D. A Chinese student enjoyed his meal in a famous fast food restaurant in New York.8. We can infer from this passage that ________.A. tipping is no longer a good way to satisfy some customers themselvesB. tipping is especially popular in New YorkC. tipping in America can make service better nowD. tipping has something to do with people's characterCPeople are being tricked into Facebook with the promise of a fun, free service without realizing they’re paying for it by giving up loads of personal informatio n.Most Facebook users don’t realize this is happening. Even if they know what the company is up to, they still have no idea what they’re paying for Facebook because people don’t really know what their personal data is worth.The biggest problem, however, is that the company keeps changing the rules early on you keep everything private. That was the great thing about Facebook. You could create your own little private network. Last year. The company changed its privacy rules so that many things; your city, your photo, your friends’ names were set, by default (默认)to be shared with everyone on the Internet.According to Facebook’s vice-president Elliot Schrage, the company is simply making changes to improve its service, and if people don’t share information. They have a “less satisfying experience.Some critics think this is more about Facebook looking to make more money. In original business model, which involved selling ads and putting them. At the side of the pages totally, who wants to took at ads when the y’re online connecting with their friends?The privacy issue has already landed Facebook in hot water in Washington. In April. Senator Charles Schumer called on Facebook to change its privacy policy. He also urged the Federal Trade Commission to set guide lines for social networking sites. “I think the senator rightly communicated that we had not been clear about what the new products were and how people could choose to use them or not to use them,” Schrage admits.I suspect that whatever Facebook has done so far to invade our privacy, it’s only the beginning，which is why I’m considering cancelling my account. Facebook is a handy site, but I’m upset by the idea that my information is in the hands of people I don’t know. That’s too higha price to pay.9. What do we learn about Facebook from the first paragraph?A. It is a website that sends messages to users who want to get married.B. It earns money by putting on advertisements.C. It makes money by selling its users’ personal data.D. It provides loads of information to its users.10. What does the author say about most Facebook users?A. They are unwilling to give up their personal information.B. They don’t know their personal data enriches Facebook.C. They don’t identify themselves when using the websi te.D. They care very little about their personal information.11. Why does Facebook make changes to its rules according to Elliot Schrage?A. To provide better service to its users.B. To obey the Federal guidelines.C. To improve its users’ connectionD. To expand its business.12. Why does the author plan to cancel his Facebook account?A. He is dissatisfied with its present service.B. He finds many of its users untrustworthy.C. He doesn’t want his personal data badly used.D. He is upset by its frequent rule changes.D13. What you have just read is a _______.A. noteB. reportC. scheduleD. poster14. What is going to take place on 2 February, 2013?A. A party for close friends to meet and have fun.B. A party to celebrate a traditional festival.C. A big event to welcome a Chinese new year.D. A social gathering to raise money for wildlife.15. How much do you have to pay in total if four of you go together?A. $ 20.B. $ 40C. $ 60.D. $ 80.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。

twin who won the art competition？”she asked.“No，that's Christine.I'm Katie.”I said.We were not identical twins；we looked quite different.She could defeat Snow White in a beauty contest！Compared to Christine，I felt like one of Cinderella's stepsisters.One Saturday Christine gave me a painting lesson because I was always attempting to be artistic too.But I knocked over the vase of flowers，spilling water onto Christine's painting.Instead of becoming angry，though，she turned the whole mess into a dreamy masterpiece(杰作)．You could look at it five different ways and see five different things.With this brilliant creation，she won First Prize in the art competition.I really envied her，but I knew it wasn't her fault and I was the one with wild，unmanageable hair and no talent.Joining Christine's basketball team was my latest effort to be like her.On the way to the gym，I'd made up my mind to give my best performance in that day's game.I made preparations with great enthusiasm.“Christine，here！”I tossed her a ball.But it was too high，she leapt for it，it slipped through her fingers and crashed into the tape recorder that was used to play the national anthem before each game.I muttered apologies as I picked up the broken pieces of the recorder.Coach looked at the mess and asked，“How are we going to play the song now？”Christine suggested，“Let Katie sing it！She's always singing at home.”Coach asked.“Would you？”I found myself nodding.Coach announced the national anthem and everyone stood.Standing before a microphone，I looked up to the flag.The notes seemed to flow from deep inside me，and my voice was steady and clear.When I finished，the gym was silent Then it was filled with applause.As the game started.teammates patted my back and gave me the “thumbs up”ura Jamison said.“You should try out for the school musical！”I Nodded and said that I might.The next morning Hillary Barnes stopped me in the hallway and asked，“Are you the twin who

a house a home?Not size，of course.I've been in some of the grandest houses in America，and it's clear that no one lives there.Earlier this year，I had dinner in a mud hut in Ethiopia，where we sat on chairs next to the hostess' bed—a home that had more warmth than any house I've been in since.Now John Edwards is exploring what makes a house a home in his justreleased(发行)Home.The Blueprints of Our Lives.There Edwards writes，“This isn't a book about houses；it's a book about homes.About the values they rest on，the dreams they are filled with，and the people they have shaped.”Edwards writes，“The houses and circumstances are different，but much of what you find inside will be familiar.”Whether you're sitting in an airport right now，waiting to fly to your childhood home for Thanksgiving，or in your own home waiting for the relatives to arrive，you know what he's talking about.We've lived in our townhouse for 21 years.It's home now.The loose windows that shake in the wind.The fireplace so shallow it holds only one log.The kitchen window that offers a view of the world passing by.It's where friends sit on the kitchen counter drinking wine while dinner is being fixed.I lived there for only 18 years，but it will always be my true home.Even the lamp in the west living room window，which I could see far down the road when driving home late at night，still shines.While all this talk about childhood memories can be warm and comforting，home is whom you're with，not where you are.As Edwards writes，“Home is family.Home is safety.Home is faith.”Happy homecoming.53．According to the author，what makes a house a home?A．All the belongings in the house.B．Feelings of warmth and comfort.C．The houses and circumstances.D．Drinking with friends on the kitchen counter.54．About the book Home: The Blueprints of Our Lives，we know that ________.A．it was the description of Edwards' housesB．it is mainly about housesC．it helps us understand the concept(概念)of homeD．it was written by the author of the text55．What did the author mean when he mentioned the loose windows and the shallow fireplace?A．His house was too old to live in.B．He missed the feeling of home.C．He hated living there.D．He missed his old friends too much.E篇章结构Ancient Rome was one of the world's most powerful empires more than 2 000 years ago.The Romans' ideas about roads，laws，government and buildings still
