阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。

Every American family has its own traditions on Thanksgiving Day, and mine is not different. Once the national holiday arrives, my mom rises early to make the meal. She puts a turkey in the oven, chops carrots and bakes pies. I’m sorry to say that the men in the family –my dad, my younger brother and myself –rarely pitch in to help. Our job is to wash the mountain of dirty dishes after the meal is over.
Around 2 pm every Thanksgiving Day, family members seat themselves around the kitchen table. Plates of turkey, vegetables, salad, rolls and pies cover it. At this point, we can hardly keep ourselves from drooling (流口水) all over our fancy clothes, but it’s not yet time to eat.
First, we must bow our heads, close our eyes and say a prayer of thanks aloud to God for giving us everything we have. Under normal circumstances, I would have no problem making a list of things I am thankful for. I grew up in a loving family. My parents, who aren’t wealthy, took out loans to help me pay for university.
But, the funny thing is, every time I sit down for Thanksgiving dinner and try to say a prayer of thanks, my mind usually goes blank. I think it has something to do with my growling (咕咕叫) stomach and all of that food sitting right there under my nose.
Eventually, though, we all finish our short prayers and dig in. To be sure, the day includes
other highlights – visiting with family and watching football. But usually around 6 pm we are all ourselves stuffed like turkeys and thankful to have a nice warm bed to sleep in.

A. tell what the family do for Thanksgiving Day

Recently, university students around the world were asked to volunteer in a global experiment called Unplugged. It was designed to see how young people would react if they were asked to observe a total media ban by unplugging all forms of media devices for 24 hours.
Unplugged is being run by Dr. Roman Gerodimos, a lecturer in Communication and Journalism at Bournemouth University. During the experiment, Dr. Gerodimos said there were already signs of how much the exercise affected volunteers. He said: “They’re reporting withdrawal symptoms, overeating, feeling nervous, isolated and disconnected.”
During their 24-hour test, three of the experiment’s participants were followed around by a BBC reporter plus cameraman.They were asked to write down 100 lines about their day offline, but of course, they all waited until the next day when they had access to their laptops.
Elliot Day wrote: “Today,my whole morning routine was thrown up into the air.Despite being aware of the social importance of the media, I was surprised by how empty my life felt without the radio or newspapers.”
From Caroline Scott, we read: “I didn’t expect it,but being deprived of the media for 24 hours resulted in my day-to-day activities becoming so much harder to carry out than usual…I didn’t break out in a cold sweat like our lecturer expected us all to,but It’s not something I would like to do again！”
And Charlotte Gay wrote：“I have to say the most difficult item for me to be without has been my mobile; not only is it a social device, it’s my main access point of communication.”
Earlier in the year, a UK government study found that in the UK we spend about half our waking hours using the media, often plugged into several things at once. So, with technology continuing to develop at an alarming rate, how much time will you set aside for sleep in the future?
66.What can we learn about the volunteers?
A.V olunteers didn’t write down about their day offline.
B.V olunteers weren’t allowed to use any media for 24 hours.
C.V olunteers were followed around by Dr Roman Gerodimos.
D.Only volunteers in the UK took part in Unplugged experiment.
67.Which of the following is NOT mentioned about the participants’ feelings？
A.Anxious.
B.Lonely
C.Bored.
D.Despaired.
68.Which of the following is true of Caroline Scott？
A.The media ban affected his temperature.
B.His work went on smoothly without the media.
C.His work was carried on hard without the media.
D.His life was empty without the radio or newspapers.
69.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A.People should use the media devices reasonably.
B.People can easily survive the media devices addict.
C.People can spend more time sleeping in the future.
D.People spend about half the time using the media devices.
70.The text is most probably a .
A.newspaper ad
B.book review
C.news report
D.science fiction story

In the animal kingdom, weakness can bring about aggression (侵略) in other animals. This sometimes happens with humans also. But I have found that my weakness brings out the kindness in people. I see it every day when people hold doors for me, pour cream into my coffee, or help me to put on my coat. And I have discovered that it makes them happy.
From my wheelchair experience, I see the best in people, but sometimes I feel sad because those who appear independent miss the kindness I see daily. They don’t get to see this soft side of others. Often, we try every way possible to avoid showing our weakness, which includes a lot of pretending. But only when we stop pretending we’re brave or strong do we allow people to show the kindness that’ s in them.
Last month, when I was driving home on a busy highway, I began to feel unwell and drove more slowly than usual. People behind me began to get impatient and angry, with some speeding up alongside me, horning (按喇叭) or even shouting at me. At that moment，I decided to do something I had never done in twenty-four years of driving. I put on the car flashlights and drove on at a really low speed.
No more angry shouts and no more horns!
When I put on my flashlights, I was saying to the other drivers, “I have a problem here. I am weak and doing the best I can.” And everyone understood. Se veral times, I saw drivers who
wanted to pass. They couldn’t get around me because of the stream of passing traffic. But instead of getting impatient and angry, they waited, knowing the driver in front of them was in some way weak.
Sometimes situations cal l for us to act strong and brave even when we don’ t feel that way. But those are few and far between. More often, it would be better if we don’t pretend we feel strong when we feel weak or pretend that we’re brave when we’ re scared.
71. The author has discovered that people will feel happy when ________.
A. they offer their help
B. they receive others’ help
C. they feel others’ kindness
D. they show their weakness
72. The author feels sad sometimes because ________.
A. he has a soft heart
B. he relies much on others
C. some people pretend to be kind
D. some people fail to see the kindness in others
73. What did the other drivers do when they saw the flashlights?
A. They speeded up to pass.
B. They waited with patience.
C. They tried their best to help
D. They put on their flashlights too.
74. In this passage, the author advises us to ________.
A. handle problems by ourselves
B. accept help from others
C. admit our weakness
D. show our bravery
75. Which of the following is the best title of this passage?
A. A Wheelchair Experience.
B. Weakness and Kindness.
C. Weakness and Strength.
D. A Driving Experience.

Most people like using short-cuts. We all usually want to get from A to B as quickly as possible, and when we want to get our messages across to people who have the same job as ours, we often use jargon (行话). It’s a kind of short-cut that helps us communicate without wasting time. Jargon is simply a kind of language shorthand that lets us say what we mean quickly.
In the business world, you might expect to hear or use a lot of jargon. However, a report in Britain claims that most managers overuse business jargon and that this has a negative effect on how staff feel.
Most employees in Britain, according to this survey, have a low opinion of the colleagues who use management jargon. Over a third of those surveyed think it shows a lack of confidence and almost one in five think people who use it are untrustworthy or trying to cover something up. Some of the most overused business expressions were: get our ducks in a row (have everything arranged efficiently), brain dump (tell everything you know about a particular subject) and think outside the box (be creative in how you think about problems).
Peter Russian from Investors in People says that an effective boss is one who can communicate in a way which everyone can easily understand，not one who __________________.
So now that you’ve got an overview of business jargon, it’s time to give you a warning not to overuse this jargon to speak. But that’s a real no-brainer, isn’t it?
76. What is the best title of the passage? (Please answer within 7 words.)
____________________________________________________________________________
77. Which sentence in the passage can be replaced by the following one?
Jargon is one of the short-cuts in our language which are used to express our real meanings and feelings quickly.
____________________________________________________________________________ 78. Please fill in the blank in the fifth paragraph with proper words or phrases to complete the
sentence. (Please answer within 10 words.)
____________________________________________________________________________ 79. What’s your opinion of business jargon? Why? (Please answer within 30 words.)
___________________________________________________________________________ 80. What does the underlined word “this” refer to? (Line Two, Paragraph Two )

【要点综述】本文是记叙文。作者讲述了与父亲一起泛舟湖中游玩、救助落水的父亲的经历，表达了作者的感恩之情。作者与父亲一起驾船去湖中航行，到了湖心时突遇大风，船被巨浪打翻，父亲被吓呆了，颤声呼救。作者平安救起了父亲，并产生了照顾父亲的想法。
36. C由倒数第二段“I swam to Dad ______ and assisted him in climbing onto the hull of the
boat. ”可知，父亲不擅长游泳，故选择C项。
37. D该句句意为“至于我，因为生活在安大略湖边，划船和游泳这两样在十二岁前都学
会了”，D项符合实情。A、B两项并不能说明作者这两样都会，故予以排除。
38. B由下文可知，这次泛舟湖中父亲遇险落水，最后终于得救，所以此经历令人难忘，
故C项不妥；作者全力救助了父亲，A、D两项与文意不符。unforgivable不可原谅的，难以饶恕的；unforgettable难忘的；cheerful兴高采烈的，令人愉快的；regretful
遗憾的，后悔的。
39. C send派遣，发送；order命令；invite邀请；allow允许。C项符合礼仪习俗。
40. A由第三段突起大风可知，到达湖心之前应该是风平浪静，故选择A项。calm (水面)
平静的，(天气)无风的；icy冰冷的，结冰的；stormy有暴风雨的；thundery如雷的，打雷的。
41. B go well为固定搭配，意为“进展顺利”。句意：尽管父亲有好几年没有划船了，但操
作起舵柄来却非常娴熟。
42. A根据下文船猛然受到撞击，推知突然刮起了大风，A项切合语境。strong wind意为
“大风，强风”。
43. D repeatedly重复地，反复地；lightly轻轻地，轻巧地；hardly几乎不；violently猛烈
地，剧烈地。D项与前句语意匹配。
44. A由前文“…a ___ ___ wind came all of a sudden”以及“The boat was hit ______”可
知，父亲所处的境况非常危险，故选择A项。at one’s best 处于最佳状态。
45. C根据转折词but和下一段中的“he shouted in a trembling voice”可知C项符合文意。
freeze(因害怕等)惊呆，吓呆；suffer受痛苦，受折磨；fall跌倒；withdraw撤退，撤离。
46. B父亲不会游泳，而且用颤抖的嗓音呼喊，可见是在呼喊“救命！”这也正是倒数第二
段提到父亲感到awkward“尴尬的”的缘由。
47. A fix any problem意为“解决任何问题”，A项顺接下句文意。
48. A turn to求助于；live with与……一起居住，学会适应……；argue with与……争辩；
object to反对。句意：他是我总能求得力量和安全感的人。
49. D a fountain of……的源泉；a stream of一连串，接二连三(的事情)；a shower of一阵，
一连串(辱骂等)；a wave of汹涌的，蜂拥而来的。只有D项可与water搭配。
50. D根据句意可知，前后为转折关系，选择D项。
51. C由下句“We were thrown into the water …”可知，船体已被巨浪打翻，C项符合文意。
get through穿过，通过，完成；pour into涌入，大量流进；turn over打翻，翻转；lift up举起，提起。
52. B由“I swam to Dad …”可知，B项可使上下文连贯。句意：此刻我感到要极力保护
他。be protective of/toward对……护卫的、保护的；be ashamed of以……为羞耻；
be tired of对……厌倦、厌烦；be afraid of害怕……
53. B由前句中的fiercely“强烈地，极度地”可知，B项顺承上文文意。hopelessly无望地，
绝望地；quickly迅速地；slowly缓慢地；helplessly无能为力地，无助地。
54. C C项fear与前文中的“froze”和“trembling”含义匹配。
55. D make up for补偿，弥补；get ready for为……做好准备；pay sb. off for对某人报复；
look out for照料，照看。句意：更重要的是，我觉得该轮到我照顾父亲了。

Super Girl has already been very hot all over China since it started on May 7, in Beijing. We have had a survey about the phenomenon recently.
There are two sides of opinions of it. Some people say Super Girl is their favorite. They hold their view that Super Girl can offer a stage for ordinary people to take part in it equally and have the chance of becoming famous overnight. While others think that Super Girl makes the girls waste time and energy so that it can have some bad effects on their study. In addition, it can cause some teenagers to have bad ambition about becoming famous overnight.
From my point of view, it is wrong of young people to admire Super Girl too much, because they may mislead young people. I think to learn more and work hard is the real way to success.
