Peter loved to shop used articles. Almost a month ago, he bought popular word game that used little pieces of wood with different letters on them. As he was purchasing it, the salesgirl said, “Uh, look, the game box haven’t even been opened yet. That might be worth some money. ”
Peter examined the box, and, sure enough, it was completely covered in factory-sealed plastic. And he saw a date of 1973 on the back of the box.
“You should put that up for auction (拍卖) on the Internet, and see what happens.” the salesgirl said.
“Yes, you’re right. People like something rare.” Peter agreed, “I can’t imagine there being very many unopened boxes of this game still around 40 years later.”
“Don’t forget to tell me if you sell it.” the salesgirl smiled.
“No problem.” Peter said.
After he got home, Peter went online to several auction websites looking for his game. But he couldn’t find it. Then he typed in the name of the word game and hit Search. The search result was 543 websites containing information about the changes of the game. Over the years, the game had been produced using letters in different sizes and game boards in different colors. He also found some lists of game fans looking for various versions of the game. Peter emailed some of them, telling them what he had.
Two weeks later, Peter went back to the shop.
“Hello. Do you still remember the unopened word game?”
The salesgirl looked at him for a second, then recognized him and said, “Oh, hi!”
“I’ve got something for you,” Peter said. “I sold the game and made $1,000. Thank you for your suggestion.” He handed her three $ 100 bills.

When I was nine years old, I loved to go fishing with my dad. But the only thing that wasn’t very fun about it was that he could catch many fish while I couldn’t catch anything. I usually got pretty upset and kept asking him why. He always answered, “Son, if you want to catch a fish, you have to think like a fish”, I remember being even more upset then because, “I’m not a fish!” I didn’t know how to think like a fish. Besides, I reasoned, how could what I think influence what a fish does?
As I got a little older I began to understand what my dad really meant. So, I read some books on fish. And I even joined the local fishing club and started attending the monthly meetings. I learned that a fish is a cold-blooded animal and therefore is very sensitive to water temperature. That is why fish prefer shallow water to deep water because the former is warmer. Besides, water is usually warmer in direct sunlight than in the shade. Yet, fish don’t have any eyelids(眼皮) and the sun huts their eyes… The more I understood fish, the more I became effective at finding and catching them..
When I grew up and entered the business world, I remember hearing my first boss say, “We all need to think like sales people.” But it didn’t completely make sense. My dad never once said, “If you want to catch a
fish you need to think like a fisherman.” What he said was, “You need to think like a fish.” Years later, with great efforts to promote long-term services to people much older and richer than me, I gradually learned what we all need is to think more like customers. It is not an easy job. I will show you how in the following chapters.
31. Why was the author upset in fishing trips when he was nine?
A. He could not catch a fish.
B. His father was not patient with him.
C. His father did not teach him fishing.
D. He could not influence a fish as his father did.
32. What did the author’s father really mean?
A. To read about fish.
B. To learn fishing by oneself.
C. To understand what fish think.
D. To study fishing in many ways.
33. According to the author, fish are most likely to be found _________.
A. in deep water on sunny days
B. in deep water on cloudy days
C. in shallow water under sunlight
D. in shallow water under waterside trees.
34. After entering the business world, the author found _________.
A. it easy to think like a customer
B. his father’s fishing advice inspiring
C. his first boss’s sales ideas reasonable
D. it difficult to sell services to poor people
35. This passage most likely comes from _________.

B. a popular sales book
C. a novel on childhood
D. a millionaire’s biography

Daniel Anderson, a famous psychologist, belie ves it’s important to distinguish television’s influences on children from those of the family. We tend to blame TV, he says, for problems it doesn’t really cause, overlooking our own roles in shaping children’s minds.
One traditional belief about televisi on is that it reduces a child’s ability to think and to understand the world. While watching TV, children do not merely absorb words and images (影像). Instead, they learn both explicit and hidden meanings from what they see. Actually, children learn early the psychology of characters in TV shows. Furthermore, as many teachers agree, children understand far more when parents watch TV with them, explaining new words and ideas. Yet, most parents use an educational program as a chance to park their kids in front of the set and do something in another room.
Another argument against television is that it replaces reading as a form of entertainment. But according to Anderson, the amount of time spent watching television is not related to reading ability. TV doesn’t take the place of reading for most children; it takes the place of similar sorts of recreation, such as listening to the radio and playing sports. Things like parents’ educational background have a stronger influence on a child’s reading. “A child’s reading ability is best predicted by how much a parent reads.” Anderson says.
Traditional wisdom also has it that heavy television-watching lowers IQ (智商) scores and affects school performance. But here, too, Anderson notes that no studies have proved it. In fact, research suggests that it’s the other way around. “If you’re smart young, you’ll watch less TV when you’re older,” Anderson says. Yet, people of lower IQ tend to be lifelong television viewers.
For years researchers have attempted to show that television is dangerous to children. However, by showing that television promotes none of the dangerous effects as conventionally believed, Anderson suggests that television cannot be condemned without considering other influences.
36. By watching TV, children learn _________.
A. images through words
B. more than explicit meanings
C. more about images than words
D. littl e about people’s psychology
37. An educational program is best watched by a child _________.
A. on his own
B. with other kids
C. with his parents
D. with his teachers
38. Which of the following is most related to children’s reading ability?
A. Radio-listening
B. Television-watching
C. Parents’ reading list
D. Parents’ educational background
39. Anderson believed that _________.
A. the more a child watches TV, the smarter he is
B. the younger a child is, the more he watches TV
C. the smarter a child is, the less likely he gets addicted to TV
D. the less a child watches TV, the better he performs at school
40. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To advise on the educational use of TV.
B. To describe TV’s harmful effects on children.
C. To explain traditional views on TV influences.
D. To present Anderson’s unconventional ideas.

It was once common to regard Britain as a society with class distinction. Each class had unique characteristics.
In recent years, many writers have begun to speak the 'decline of class' and 'classless society' in Britain. And in modern day consumer society everyone is considered to be middle class.
But pronouncing the death of class is too early. A recent wide-ranging society of public opinion found 90 percent of people still placing themselves in particular class; 73 percent agreed that class was still a vital part of British society; and 52 percent thought there were still sharp class differences. Thus, class may not be culturally and politically obvious, yet it remains an important part of British society. Britain seems to have a love of stratification.
One unchanging aspect of a British person's class position is accent. The words a person speaks tell her or his class. A study of British accents during 1970s found that a voice sounding like a BBC newsreader was viewed as the most attractive voice, Most people said this accent sounded 'educated' and 'soft'. The accents placed at the bottom in this study, on the other hand, were regional（地区的）city accents. These accents were seen as 'common' and 'ugly'. However, a similar study of British accents in the US turned these results upside down and placed some regional accents as the most attractive and BBC English as the least. This suggests that British attitudes towards accent have deep roots and are based on class prejudice.
In recent years, however, young upper middle-class people in London, have begun to adopt some regional accents, in order to hide their class origins. This is an indication of class becoming unnoticed. However, the 1995 pop song 'Common People' puts forward the view that though a middle-class person may 'want to live like common people' they can never appreciate the reality of a working-class life.
41. A recent study of public opinion shows that in modern Britain ________.
A. it is time to end class distinction
B. most people belong to middle class
C. it is easy to recognize a person’s class
D. people regard themselves socially different
42. The word stratification in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ________.
A. variety
B. authority
C. division
D. qualification
43. The study in the US showed that BBC English was regarded as _________.
A. regional
B. educated
C. prejudiced
D. unattractive
44. British attitudes towards accent _________.
A. have a long tradition
B. are based on regional status
C. are shared by the Americans
D. have changed in recent years
45. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. The middle class is expanding
B. A person’s accent reflects his class
C. Class is a key part of British society
D. Each class has unique characteristics.

D推理判断题。根据The more I understand fish, the more I became effective at finding and catching them.―我越了解鱼，我越能有效地找到鱼，抓住鱼。‖可知，此处父亲的意思是要我了解钓鱼的方法，故选D。 33. D推理判断题。根据That is why fish prefer shallow water to deep water. 可知，鱼喜欢在浅水里，不喜欢在深水里，故排除AB两项。根据Water is usually warmer in direct sunlight than in the shade. Yet, fish don‘t have any eyelids(眼皮) and the sun hurts their eyes可知，鱼喜欢呆在阴凉处，不喜欢呆在阳光直射的地方，故排除C项。D 项，水边树下的浅水处是鱼喜欢呆的地方，故此处更有可能发现鱼。故选D。
34. B推理判断题。根据I gradually learnt what we all need is to think more like customers. ―我逐渐了解我们需要像消费者一样去思考‖，这与父亲的―You need to think like a fish‖相似，因此，这是父亲的话给他的启发。故选B。
35. B推理判断题。根据It is not an easy job. I will show you how in the following chapters.―这不是一份轻松的工作，我将在下面几章里向你们展示如何去做‖，故推断这是在教授大家如何去销售的书，故选B。【考点定位】故事类短文阅读。【解析】
试题分析：本文叙述著名心理学家Daniel Anderson对孩子们看电视的看法，打破了以往人们认为看电视对孩子不好的想法。他认为孩子们看电视不止学到显现出来的东西，父母陪孩子看电视，孩子可以学到更多的知识；孩子看电视并没有代替孩子阅读，并没有影响孩子的智商。
36. B细节理解题。根据第二段的Instead, they learn both explicit and hidden meanings from what they see.可知，孩子们通过看电视，可以学到显性和隐藏的意义，因此不仅仅学到隐藏的意思，故选B。
37. C推理判断题。根据第二段的Furthermore, as many teachers agree, children understand far more when parents watch TV with them.―孩子们有父母陪着看电视理解得更多‖，故推断教育节目最好是父母陪着孩子看。故选C。
38. D细节理解题。根据第三段的― A child ‘s reading ability is best predicted by how much a parent reads.‖ Anderson says.‖可知，父母的阅读量对孩子的阅读能力影响最大，故选D。 39. C细节理解题。根据第四段的―If you‘re smart young, you ‘ll watch less TV when you‘re older,‖可知，如果你小时候越聪明，长大后看电视看得越来越少，故选C。 40. D推理判断题。根据最后一段的Anderson suggests that television cannot condemned without considering other influences.―Anderson认为不应该按照常规，不考虑电视的其他影响而去谴责电视，故推断这篇文章的目的是呈现Anderson打破常规的想法，故选D。【考点定位】教育类短文阅读。【解析】
这篇短文给我们讲述了在英国阶级社会中，阶级划分是重要的一部分。作者在短文中给我们介绍了两项调查，通过调查的结果我们可以看到，英国社会里的阶级划分没有消失，它是英国社会重要的一部分。
41. D细节理解题。根据短文第三段的内容可知，关于―阶级消亡‖的说法，在英国对大众进行了一个调查，结果发现90%的人们仍然把自己划分在一定的阶层中；73%的人认为阶级是英国社会一个必不可少的部分，由此可知人们仍然认为他们在社会中是有区别的。故选D。
42. B词义猜测题。根据短文第三段的内容可知，根据一项关于英国社会阶级是否消亡的调查可知，绝大多数人仍然认为英国社会存在不同的阶级，这是英国社会中重要的一部分。由此可知，英国人好像对阶级划分非常热衷。stratification划分，跟B选项是同义词，故选B。
43. D细节理解题。根据第四段中―However, a similar study of British accents in the US turned these results upside down and placed some region al accents as the most attractive and BBC English as the least.‖可知，美国关于英语口音的调查结果刚好和英国的调查结果相反，他们认为一些地方口音是最吸引人的，而BBC英语是最不吸引人的，故选D。44. A 推理判断题。根据第四段最后一句话This suggests that British attitudes towards accent have deep roots and are based on class prejudice. 这表明，英国的态度口音有很深的渊源，而且是基于阶级偏见。
45. C主旨大意题。这篇文章给我们讲述了在英国社会中，阶级划分是重要的一部分。作者在短文中给我们做了两项调查，其中一项告诉我们大多数人们认为阶级是英国社会必不可少的一部分，另一项是关于人们说话的口音，英国和美国的调查结果正好相反，也说明了英国阶级划分的根源非常深。由此可知C 选项：阶级是英国社会中的一个重要部分符合短文的大意。故选C。
【考点定位】文化类短文阅读。 46-50 FCBDA 【解析】试题分析：
46. F根据Edward Leonardo Norton 对于中国的古典文学作品感兴趣，并且去上夜校来学习古典汉语。选项F叙述的是Kunqu Society是中国古典的戏院，把唱歌、跳舞和中国文学作品联系起来。这正符合Edward Leonardo Norton的要求，故选F。
47. C根据Daphne Sui-yuan Tan对于自己的以及其他人的家族历史感兴趣。选项C叙述的是legacy of my Chinese Family，关于家族的历史，这正符合Daphne Sui-yuan Tan的要求，故选C。

A new technology, DNA test, has appeared recently as good news for some people. All they have to do is to pay 125 pounds, give testers their saliva sample and wait for 4 to 6 weeks. The result can help them see how m uch chance they have of getting serious disease, what they love to eat and what exercise suit them most. The medical report may raise their awareness of keeping fit. However, it may give rise to unnecessary anxiety in so me people as well.

An analysis of saliva sample, a medical fee of 125 pounds and a waiting period of 4 to 6 weeks now means a lot to some people. They will know better their dietary habits, the best exercises for them and above all, wh at serious disease may attack them. All these are made possible with the aid of a new technology, DNA test. Af ter reading the test report, people may realize more clearly the importance of staying healthy. Some of them, h owever, may become overly concerned about their health. Version 3:
DNA test, a new technique, which is tested by analyzing saliva sample, appears in the foreign medical indus try. Lasting for 4-6 weeks, the test costs 125 pounds. As for its functions, not only can the technique be used to predict major diseases, but it also enables people to foresee the examinees‘food preferences. With such a tec hnique, examiners are able to provide various suggestions on appropriate ways of exercise for examinees. It is said that the test will enhance the examinees‘consciousness of health, but on the contrary it will also be more l ikely to result in over-anxiety.
读写任务
Confronted with the misbehavior of her new class, Sally emphasized the idea of
“we are family” and afterwards worked out 10 rules to regulate the students’
conduct. Amazingly, she earned respect from her students, all of whom later grew to be confident, considerate and well-behaved.
The most obvious problem with our class is lack of interaction or teamwork. Everyone is minding his or he r own business without paying the slightest attention to the people around, thus giving rise to inefficiency in th eir study and even putting a limit to the play of their potential.
To address the issue concerned, I would make it a rule that every Friday a project of a certain subject shou ld be assigned by teachers and completed by every study group consisting of four students. The final presentati on on the following Monday will be a result of group work.
From where I stand, this rule will definitely exert a profound and far-reaching effect on students‘ academi
c performance. First an
d foremost, a harmonious but competitiv
e interaction in a group will help everyone‘s le arning. Additionally, we can combine our skills and knowledge as well as experiences in solving problems more efficiently. It is for those reasons that I firmly believe that this rule will promote the learning atmosphere and our teamwork spirit.
With continuous efforts, our class, a big family, will compose an extraordinary harmonious symphony.
