Meat is nearly always on the table, no matter what part of China you are in. It is so common that Zhang Xiuyan has long grown used to the difficulties of being a vegetarian in China.The 67-year-old woman cannot eat meat because it causes her uncomfortable feeling in stomach. “ Every time I go out, I meet the same situation,” she says. “ I tell them I don’t eat meat, so in the soup, please don’t include chicken or duck. But when they serve it, there’s always a little bit of meat.”Ms Zhang says it’s sometimes just a problem of communication. “ For example, when they serve green beans, there is a bit of meat in the dish. I say ‘how come there’s still meat?’” she says. “And the waiter look and say,’ Oh that? That shouldn’t be a problem!’”Ms Zhang is among 50 million Chinese who are believed to be vegetarians, about 4 percent of the 1.3 billion population. Traditionally in poorer times, meat was a luxury(奢侈). But times are changing, and with them, so are cultural attitudes(态度).Belle Zhang from Beijing is another vegetarian who has also had difficulties at restaurants. “At home of the noodle restaurants here, even if you order a bowl with no meat, the soup is always made from meat,” she says, “ we vegetarians can always taste it!” She says a recent trip with friends up to China’s Northeast proved more difficult than other parts of the country.“The food in the Northeast is really meaty, so there wasn’t a single dish we ordered that was vegetarian,”she says. “Every plate on the table in one way or another had a little bit of meat in it.”28. Why does Ms Zhang dislike eating meat?A. Because she loves animals.B. Because she wants to keep fit.C. Because it does harm to her health.D. Because she is a picky eater(挑食者).29. Hearing the waiter’s reply, Ms Zhang probably feels _________.A. curiousB. interestedC. surprisedD. angry30. What’s the best title of this article?A. The introduction of Chinese food.B. A story of vegetarians.C. Being a vegetarian in China.D. Views on vegetarians.CCathy Krause, who works as an emergency dispatcher(紧急调度员) at the Rockwood Police Department, is tired of getting calls from children, most of which are usually a joke. However, a phone call from 5-year-old Jackson McManus who said his father was in trouble was the real deal.“I’ve not had the call like this before,” Krause said as she spoke about the 911 call. Krause was able to calm the boy down and ask him questions to help police find his location and also gather information about the situation. “I asked him plenty of questions and he was so good,” she said. “He was a little nervous in the beginning, but he did everything I asked him to do.” Krause asked Jackson if his father was awake. Jackson went to check on his father who couldn’t give any replies when he called out his name. This led Krause to believe that the man was unconscious(无意识).Jackson told his father’s name but she was sti ll unable to locate the address. She then asked the boy where he went to school and told him to look at the garage and see if there were any numbers. “I already had a car look for you,” Krause said as she continued to talk to the child.The boy mentioned a street called Groat Street which is between Huron River Drive and Woodruff Road. With these details, she realized that the boy lived at the southern end of the Brownstown Township. She told Jackson to stand outside his house and wave so that police officers would be able to see him.Even though Jackson got some of the numbers of his address wrong, police saw him outside his home and the father was quickly taken to a local hospital. He is now in good condition.The father had been suffering from low sodium because of the medicine he was taking. He told 7 Action News he had taught Jackson and his daughter Mary how to call 911 when something terrible happened to him.31. Which of the following is most important for Cathy?A. To know Jackson’s exact address.B. To get through to Jackson’s father.C. To learn about Jackson’s situation.D. To get in touch with Jackson’s school.32. We know from the text that Jackson ________.A. answered all of Cathy’s questions correctlyB. remained clear-minded in the accidentC. has been well trained in giving first aid(急救)D. know his community very well33. The text above is probably taken from _______.A. a medical reportB. a book reviewC. a news reportD. a story bookDWhat is the first thing you notice when you walk into a shop? The products displayed at the entrance? Or the soft background music?But have you ever noticed the smell? If it isn’t special, the answer is likely to be no. But though a shop’s scent(气味) may not be compared with sounds, it is certainly there. And it is providing to be an increasing powerful tool in encouraging people to purchase（购买）.A brand store has become famous for its special scent which floats through the quite dark hall and out to the entrance. A smell may be attractive but it may not just be used for freshening air. One sports goods company once reported that when it first introduced scent into its stores, customers’ willingness to purchase increased by 80 percent.When it comes to the best shopping streets in Paris, scent is just as important to a brand’s success as the quality of its window displays and goods on sales. That is mainly because shopping is a very different experience to what it used to be.Some years ago, the focus（聚焦）for brand name shopping was on a few people with sales assistants’ disproving attitude（伪善的态度）and don’t-touch-what-you-can’t-afford displays. Now the rise of electronic purchase has opened up famous brands to a wider audience. But while e-shops can use sights and sounds, only bricks-and-mortar stores(实体店) can offer a fullexperience from the minute customers step through the door to the moment they leave. another brand store seeks to(追寻) much more than a shop, but rather a destination. And scent is just one way to achieve this.Now a famous store uses man-made smell to make sure that the soft scent of baby powder floats through the kid department, and coconut scent in the swimsuit department. A department store has even opened a new lab, inviting customers on a journey into the store’s windows to smell books, pots and drawers, in search of their perfect scent.34. According to the passage, what is an increasingly powerful tool in the success of some brand store?A. Friendly assistant.B. Special scents.C. Soft background music.D. Attractive window display.35. E-shops are mentioned in the passage to ______.A. show the advantages of brick-and mortar storesB. force shop assistants to change their attitudeC. push stores to use sights and soundsD. introduce the rise of e- shopping36. The underlined word “destination” in Paragraph 5 means _______.A. an area that exhibits goodsB. a place where travelers like to stayC. a place where customers love to goD. a goal that a store expects to meet37. The main purpose of the passage is to _______.A. compare and introduceB. examine and recommendC. discuss and reviewD. inform and explain惠山区AAmazing events in our birthday month:Spend over $50 and get a chance to win a $10 gift card.Spend over $100 and get a chance to win prizes, from Nobel membership, e-dictionaries to concert tickets!25.

Calvin ran to his room and dived into bed.He heard Mama coming down the hall.“Did you do this?” his mother asked. Calvin looked out from under the covers. His mother stood over him, holding a rubber spider(蜘蛛).“Do what?” he asked.“You put that thing in my bed,” Trudy told him, stepping out from behind Mama.“Don’t think that just because it’s your birthday you can get away with something like this,” Mama scolded (责骂).“You do want your present, don’t you?” That wiped the smile off Calvin’s face.“Course I do,” he said.“Then you apologize (道歉).”Calvin dropped his head. “Sorry Trudy,” he mutt ered (嘟囔).“Here,” Mama said. “Happy birthday.” At the breakfast table she handed Calvin an envelope. Inside were tickets to the matinee show of Lomax the Magnificent, the world-famous magician and hypnotist. “You’ve got two tickets there,” Mama said, “and I know someone who’d really love to go along.” She smiled at Trudy.“You don’t mean here, do you?” Calvin asked, eyeing his little sister.“Well, that would be really nice. But those tickets are yours. If you want to ask somebody—” Calvin didn’t wait f or his mother to finish. He rushed out of the house to tell Rodney, his friend next door, that the two of them were going to see Lomax the Magnificent.28. Who screamed at the beginning?A. Calvin.B. Calvin’s sister.C. Calvin’s friend.D. Calvin’s mother.29.

What is the best title for this passage?A. Trudy’s SpiderB. Mother’s TicketsC. Calvin’s BirthdayD. Rodney’s PresentCWherever I look outside my home, I see people busy on their high-tech devices (设备), while driving, walking, shopping, even sitting in toilets. When connected electronically, they areaway from physical reality.People have been influenced to become technology addicted. One survey reported that “addicted”was the word use d by people to describe their relationship to Ipad, smart phones and similar devices. One study found that people had a harder time getting away the attraction of social media than they did for sleep, cigarettes and wine.The main purpose of technology companies is to get people to spend more money and time on their products, not to actually improve our quality of life. They have successfully created a cultural disease. A number of people willingly give up their freedom, money and time to catch up on the latest information, to catch up with people around them or to appear modern.I see people trapped in a pathological（病态的）relationship with time-wasting technology, where they serve technology more than technology serves them. I call this technology servitude (奴役). It means a loss of personal freedom and independence（独立）because of many kinds of devices that eat up time and money.What is a healthy use of technology devices? That is the important question. Who is really in charge of my life? That is what people need to ask themselves if we are to have any chance of breaking up mistakes about their use of technology. When we can live happily without using so much technology for a day or a week, then we can regain(重获) control and personal freedom, become the master of technology and discover what there is to enjoy in life free of technology. Mae West is famous for praising the wisdom that “too much of a good thing is wonderful.” But it’s time to discover that it does not work for technology.Richard Fernandez, an e xcellent coach at Google said that “we can be swept away by our technologies.” To break the grand digital connection, people must consider how life long ago could be fantastic without today’s overused technology.31. We can learn from this passage that people ______________________________.A. consider too much technology wonderfulB. have realized the harm of high-tech devicesC. can regain freedom without high-tech devicesD. may enjoy life better without overused technology32. From the passage, technology companies________________________________.A. improve people’s quality of lifeB.provide the latest informationC. attract people to buy their productsD.deal with cultural diseases33. What’s the writer’s opinion on the overusing of high-tech devices?A. He thinks the overusing of high-tech devices makes people’s life wonderful.B. Using high-tech devices when it is necessary rather than overusing it is a right choice.C. He is unsure if it is right to overuse high-tech devices.D. It makes no difference to people to overuse high-tech devices.DListen carefully to what I say.” the time traveler said. “I shall tell you something that you will not agree.”“Why will we not agree?” I asked.“Because the science and mathematics you know are not correct,” he said, “You believe there are only three dimensions(三维空间）---length, breadth(宽）and thickness.”“There is nothing to agree with that,” the youngest member of our little group said.“Exactly!” the time traveler answered. “But there is also a fourth dimension---time.”“We all know about time,” another member of the group said,” Time passes.”“I do not agree,” the time traveler said. “Length, breadth and thickness do not pass. They stay in the same place in space. We move about them. I can prove that time is the same. It does not pass. We move in time the same way that we move in length, breadth and thickness.”None of us believed the time traveler, and we argued with him for many hours.“If we could travel back in time,” the scientist said, “we could do things to change the future.”“If we could travel forward in time,”the doctor(博士）said, “We could do things that change our present.”The time traveler smiled. “It is clear,” he said, “that there is only one way I can show you that I am right.

Valleyview Sculptors’ Society Group Exhibition is on from Tuesday to Sunday.BOne of Britain’s bravest women told yesterday how she helped to catch suspected(可疑的)police killer David Bieber -- and was thanked with flowers by the police. It was also said that she could be in line for a share of up to ￡30,000 reward money.Vicki Brown,30,played a very important role in ending the nationwide manhunt.Vicki,who has worked at the Royal Hotel for four years,told of her terrible experience when she had to steal into Bieber’s bedroom and to watch him secretly.Then she waited alone for three hours while armed police prepared to storm the building.She said:"I was very nervous.But when I opened the hotel door and saw20armed policemen linedup in the car park I was so glad they were there.”The alarm had been raised because Vicki became suspicious(怀疑)of the guest who checked in at3pm the day before New Year’s Eve with little luggage and wearing sunglasses and a hat pulleddown over his face.She said :“He didn’t seem to want to talk too much and make any eye contact(接触).”Vicki,the only employee on duty, called her bosses Margaret,64,and husband Stan McKale,65,who phoned the police at11pm.Officers from Northumbria Police called Vicki at the hotel in Dunston,Gateshead,at about11:30 pm to make sure that this was the wanted man.Then they kept in touch by phoning Vicki every15minutes.“It was about ten past two in the morning when the phone went again and a policeman said‘Wouldyou go and make yourself known to the armed officers outside?’.My heart missed a beat.”Vicki quietly showed eight armed officers through passages and staircases to the top floor roomand handed over the key.“I realized that my bedroom window overlooks that part of the hotel,so I went to watch.I couldnot see into the man’s room,but I could see the passage.The police kept shouting at the man tocome out with his hands showing.Then suddenly he must have come out because they shouted for him to lie down while he was handcuffed (带上手铐).”28 Vicki became suspicious of David Bieber because__________.A.the police called herB.he looked very strangeC.he came to the hotel with little luggageD.he came to the hotel the day before New Year’s Eve29 David Bieber was most probably handcuffed in________.A.the passageB.the man’s roomC.Vicki’s bedroomD.the top floor room30 The whole event probably lasted about_______hours from the moment Bieber came to the hotelto thearrival of some armed officers.A.6B.8C.11D.14CSome time ago I discovered that one of my chairs had a broken leg. I didn’t think there would be any difficulty in getting it repaired, as there are a lot of antique (古董) shops near my home. So I left home one morning carrying the chair with me. I went into the first shop expecting a friendly reception(接待). I was quite wrong. The man wouldn’t even look at my chair.The second shop, though slightly more polite, was just the same, and the third and the fourth--so I decided that my approach must be wrong.I entered the fifth shop with a plan in my mind. I placed the chair on the floor and said to the shopkeeper, “Would you like to buy a chair?” He looked it over carefully and said, “Yes, not a bad chair. How much do you want for it, sir?” “Twenty pounds,” I said. “OK,” he said, “I’ll give you twenty pounds.” “It’s got a slightly broken leg,” I said. “Yes, I saw that, it’s nothing.”Everything was going according to my plan and l was getting excited. “What will you do with it?” I asked.“Oh, it will be easy to sell once the repair is done.” “I’ll buy it,” I said. “What do you mean? You’ve just sold it to me,” he said. “Yes, I know but I’ve changed my mind. I am sorry. I’ll give you twenty-seven pounds for it.” “Youchair.” “You’re right,” I said. “And what would you have done if I had walked in and said, ‘Would you repair this chair for me?’” “I wouldn’t have agreed to do it,” he said. “We don’t do repairs, not enough money in it and too much trouble. But I’II repair this for you. Shall we say for five pounds?” He was a very nice man and was greatly amused by the whole thing.31 We can learn from the text that in the first shop the writer_______.A. was rather impoliteB. was warmly receivedC. asked the shopkeeper to buy his chairD. asked the shopkeeper to repair his chair32 The expression "the penny dropped" in the last paragraph means the shopkeeper_______.A. changed his mindB. accepted the offerC. saw the writer’s purposeD. decided to help the writer33 How much did the writer pay?A. ￡5.B. ￡7.C. ￡20.D. ￡27.DThe father’s role in the family is important. One researcher says babies who are cared for by their fathers have greater cognitive (认知的) development at one year of age than babies not cared for by their fathers. Another researcher reports that by spending time with their pre-school children, fathers can help to deve lop children’s language ability. Researchers also point out that for school-age children, fathers are one bridge with the outside world.Fathers who value (重视) education have children who do better in school than those children whose fathers don’t value education. What’s more, fathers who spend quality time with their children may give their children happy memories which may last a lifetime.common.G ood fathers attend their children’s school activities. They also involve the children in their lives and the adult world by taking them to see the workplace, or by taking them when the car needs to be repaired, etc.Good fathers expect a great deal from their children, but also accept and support the unique individuals (个体) that their children are becoming.Good fathers prefer explanations and reasoning to force.Good fathers know their time with children is really an investment (投资) in them.Being an involved father is good for children and good for fathers. Both children and fathers have the chance for growth and development. Today’s lifestyles are changing. More and more fathers are keeping a balance between their personal life, work, and family time.34 The passage is mainly about _________.A. how to be a qualified fatherB. the growth and development of both fathers and childrenC. the father’s role in the growth and development of childrenD. the change of the father’s role in modern societyA. has the same ideas as othersB. is the only one of his typeC. does everything without considering others’ ideasD. tries to do everything well36 Which of the following statements is CORRECT according to the passage?A.

It was also said that she could be in line for a share of up to ￡30,000 reward money.Vicki Brown,30,played a very important role in ending the nationwide manhunt.Vicki,who has worked atthe Royal Hotel for four years,told of her terrible experience when she had to steal into Bieber‟s bed room and towatch him secretly.Then she waited alone for three hours while armed police prepared to storm the building.She said:"I was very nervous.But when I opened the hotel door and saw20armed policemen li nedup in thecar park I was so glad they were there.”The alarm had been raised because Vicki became suspicious(怀疑)of the guest who checked in at3pm theday before New Year‟s Eve with little luggage and wearing sunglasses and a hat pulleddown over hi s face.She said:“He didn‟t seem to want to talk too much and make any eye contact(接触).”Vicki,the only employee on duty,called her bosses Margaret,64,and husband Stan McKale,65,who phoned the police at11pm.Officers from Northumbria Police called Vicki at the hotel in Dunston,Gateshead,at about11:3 0 pm to makesure that this was the wanted man.Then they kept in touch by phoning Vicki every15minutes.“It was about ten past two in the morning when the phone went again and a policeman said‘Wo uld you go and make yourself known to the armed officers outside?‟.My heart missed a beat.”Vicki quietly showed eight armed officers through passages and staircases to the top floor room and handedover the key.“I realized that my bedroom window overlooks that part of the hotel,so I went to watch.I could not see intothe man‟s room,but I could see the passage.The police kept shouting at the man tocome out with his handsshowing.Then suddenly he must have come out because they shouted for him to lie down while he was handcuffed(带上手铐).”28 Vicki became suspicious of David Bieber because__________.A.the police called herB.he looked very strangeC.he came to the hotel with little luggageD.he came to the hotel the day before New Year‟s Eve29 David Bieber was most probably handcuffed in________.A.the passageB.the man‟s roomC.Vicki‟s bedroomD.the top floor room 30The whole event probably lasted about_______hours from the moment Bieber came to the hote lto thearrival of some armed officers.A.6B.8C.11D.14CSome time ago I discovered that one of my chairs had a broken leg. I didn‟t think there would be any difficulty in getting it repaired, as there are a lot of antique (古董) shops near my home. So I left home one morning carrying the chair with me. I went into the first shop expecting a friendly reception(接待). I was quite wrong. The man wouldn‟t even look at my chair.The second shop, though slightly more polite, was just the same, and the third and the fourth--so I decided that my approach must be wrong.I entered the fifth shop with a plan in my mind. I placed the chair on the floor and said to the shopke eper, “Would you like to buy a chair?” He looked it over carefully and said, “Yes, not a bad chair. How much do you want for it, sir?” “Twenty pounds,” I said. “OK,” he said, “I‟ll give you twenty pounds.” “It‟s got a slightly broken leg,” I said. “Yes, I saw that, it‟s nothing.”Everything was going according to my plan and l was getting excited. “What will you do with it?” I asked.“Oh, it will be easy to sell once the repair is done.” “I‟ll buy it,” I said. “What do you mean? You‟ve just sold it to me,” he said. “Yes, I know but I‟ve changed my mind. I am sorry. I‟ll give you twenty-seven pounds for it.” “You must be crazy,” he said. Then, suddenly the penny dropped. “I know what you want. You want me to repair your chair.” “You‟re right,” I said. “And wh at would you have done if I had walked in and said, …Would you repair this chair for me?‟” “I wouldn‟t have agreed to do it,” he said. “We don‟t do repairs, not enough money in it and too much trouble. But I‟II repair this for you. Shall we say for five pounds?” He was a very nice man and was greatly amused by the whole thing.31 We can learn from the text that in the first shop the writer_______.A. was rather impoliteB. was warmly receivedC. asked the shopkeeper to buy his chairD. asked the shopkeeper to repair his chair32 The expression "the penny dropped" in the last paragraph means the shopkeeper_______.A. changed his mindB. accepted the offerC. saw the writer‟s purposeD. decided to help the writer33 How much did the writer pay?A. ￡5.B. ￡7.C. ￡20.D. ￡27.DThe father‟s role in the family is important. One researcher says babies who are cared for by their fathers have greater cognitive (认知的) development at one year of age than babies not cared for by their fathers. Another researcher reports that by spending time with their pre-school children, fathers can help to develop children‟s language ability. Researchers also point out that forschool-age children, fathers are one bridge with the outside world.Fathers who value (重视) education have children who do better in school than those children whose fathers don‟t value education. What‟s more, fathers who spend quality time with their children may give their children happy memories which may last a lifetime.While each father is a unique person who educates children in his own style, good fathers have something in common.Good fathers attend their children‟s school activities. They also involve the children in their lives and the adult world by taking them to see the workplace, or by taking them when the car needs to be repaired, etc.Good fathers expect a great deal from their children, but also accept and support the unique individuals (个体) that their children are becoming.Good fathers prefer explanations and reasoning to force.Good fathers know their time with children is really an investment (投资) in them.Being an involved father is good for children and good for fathers. Both children and fathers have the chance for growth and development. Today‟s lifestyles are changing. More and more fathers are keeping a balance between their personal life, work, and family time.34 The passage is mainly about _________.A. how to be a qualified fatherB. the growth and development of both fathers and childrenC. the father‟s role in the growth and development of childrenD. the change of the father‟s role in modern societyA. has the same ideas as othersB. is the only one of his typeC. does everything without considering others‟ ideasD. tries to do everything well36 Which of the following statements is CORRECT according to the passage?A.
