For example, the top crowd decides that it is smart to wear bright red sweaters. Very soon everybod y is wearing a bright red sweater.There is nothing wrong with that, except the fact that bright red is not suitable on some people at all.The situation can even become dangerous, if the top crowd decides that it is smart to drink or to drive cars at 70 miles an hour. Then the people who follow the lead are causing danger to people's lives. They are like sheep being led to the slaughterhouse (屠宰场). Perhaps you have come across situations like these more than once in your life. In fact, at one time or another you probably did something you knew to be wrong. You may have excused yourself by saying, "The crowd does it." Well, let the crowd do it, but don't do it yourself. Learn to say, "No." Make your own judge (判断). If you know the crowd is planning something with which you disagree, have the courage to leave them politely. You'll have the satisfaction of standing on your own feet.31.

Rules for Teens.This is a watch that Ja mes Bond would be proud to wear!NOW O36.With help from a Mr.H, you can .A. stop using batteries.B. finish your homework on time.C. remember your teacher’s instructions.D. get your room tidied on your way home.37.A PENGO WATCH CONTROL can help you to .A. repair your TVB. organize your homeworkC. be a James BondD. know what the weather is like38.You can get your Mr. H for .A. $499B. $299C. $199D. $9939.Where would you be most likely to find the two texts?A. On a notice boardB. In a company brochure.C. On a teenage websiteD. In a college newspaper.Life is difficult.It is a great truth because once we truly understand and accept it, then life is no longer difficult.Most people do not fully see this truth. Instead they complain(抱怨) about their problems and difficulties as if life should be easy. It seems to them that difficulties stand for a special kind of suffering especially forced on them or else on their families, their class, or even their nation.What makes life difficult is that the process of facing and solving problems is a painful one. Problems, depending on their nature, cause sadness, or loneliness(孤独) or regret or anger or fear. These are uncomfortable feelings, often as painful as any kind of physical pain. And since life causes a lot of problems, life is always difficult and is full of painYet, it is in this whole process of solving problems that life has its meaning. Problems are the serious test that tells us success from failure. When we want to encourage the growth of human spirit, we encourage the human ability to solve problems, just as in school we set problems for our children to solve. It is through the pain of meeting and working out problems that we learn. As Benjamin Franklin said, "Those things that hurt, instruct(指导)." It is for this reason that wise people learn not to fear but to welcome the pain of problems.40.From the passage, it can be inferred that_______.A.everybody has problems B.we become stronger by facing and solving the problems of lifeC.life is difficult because our problems bring us painD.people like to complain about their problems41. The writer probably used just one short sentence in the first paragraph to ___.A. save spaceB. persuade readersC. make readers laughD. get readers' attention42. The main idea of paragraph 3 is that _________.A. most people feel life is easyB. the writer feel life is easyC. the writer likes to complain about his problemsD. most people complain about how hard their lives are43. According to the passage, we give school children difficult problems to solve in order to ______.A. encourage them to learnB. teach them to fear the pain of solving the problemsC. help them learn to deal with painD. teach them how to respect problems44. The saying from Benjamin Franklin "Those things that hurt, instruct" suggests that ______.A. we do not learn from experienceB. we do not learn when we are in painC. pain teaches us important lessonsD. pain cannot be avoidedAlong the river banks of the Amazon and the Orinoco there lives a bird that swims before it can fly, flies like a fat chicken, eats green leaves, has the stomach of a cow and has claws (爪) on its wings when young. They build their homes about 4.6m above the river, an important feature for the safety of the young. It is called the hoatzin.In appearance, the birds of both sexes look very much alike with brown on the back and cream and red on the underside. The head is small, with a large set of feathers on the top, bright red eyes, and blue skin. Its nearest relatives are the common birds, cuckoos. Its most striking (显著的) feature, though, is only found in the young.Baby hoatzins have a claw on the leading edge of each wing and another at the end of each wing tip. Using these four claws, together with the beak (喙), they can climb about in thehoatzins have learned to fly, they lose their claws.During the drier months between December and March hoatzins fly about the forest in groups of 20 to 30 birds, but in April, when the rainy season begins, they collect together in smaller living units of two to seven birds for producing purposes.45.What is the text mainly about?A.Hoatzins in dry and rainy seasons.B.The relatives and enemies of hoatzins.C.Primitive birds and hoatzins of the Amazon.D.The appearance and living habits of hoatzins.46.Young hoatzins are different from their parents in that_________ .A.they look like young cuckoosB.they have claws on the wingsC.they eat a lot like a cowD.they live on river banks47.What can we infer about primitive birds from the text?A.They had claws to help them climb.B.They could fly long distances.C.They had four wings like hoatzins.D.They had a head with long feathers on the top.48.Why do hoatzins collect together in smaller groups when the rainy season comes? A.To find more food. B.To protect themselves better.C.To keep themselves warm. D.To produce their young.Do you like shopping? Or does the thought of wandering round the shops fill you with terror? For some of us,shopping is an enjoyable way of spending our spare time and our money. For me.it's something I would rather avoid.Thank goodness for the Internet! It's more convenient to buy CDs,electrical items,even food,from the comfort of your sofa.But that’s not the only reason:price is an important factor.We can buy goods and services cheaper online. But sometimes the problem is knowing what to buy.This has led to a type of shopping called “show rooming”.Show rooming is something I've done.I will go to a shop to see,touch and try out products but then go home and buy them online at a knock—down price.I'm not alone in doing this.Research by a company called Foolproof,found 24%of people show roomed while Christmas shopping in 2013.Amy Cashman,Head of Technology at TNS UK,says the reasons for this new shopping habit are that“people are lacking time,lacking money and they want security about the products they are buying.”She explains that consumers are not only shopping online at home but they are using the Internet in store or on their smartphones to shop around.But does this mean technology will kill shops? Certainly shops will change.They will have to offer more competitive prices or encourage people to buy more by giving in—store discounts or free girls.We mustn’t forget that buyin g in a shop means you can get expert advice from the sale s assistant and you can get good aftercare.It’s good to speak to a real human rather than look at a faceless computer screen but at least by show rooming,you get the best of both worlds!A.introduce the topic B.give two examplesC.compare different opinions D.get answers from readers50.What does show rooming mean in the text?A.Trying in shops and buying online.B.Showing products in a room.C.Buying something in a store.D.Shopping on the Internet.51.According to Amy Cashman,which is not the reason for show rooming?A.The lack of time. B.The comfort of the sofa.C.The shortness of money. D.The security of the product.52.What can be inferred from Paragraph 4 ?A.Online shops will disappear.B.Free gifts will surely promote sales.C.Shops need necessary changes.D.Shops will be replaced by online shops.53.The author's attitude towards show rooming is _______A.critical B.neutral C.supportive D.casual五、短文改错(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)54.假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文,请你修改你同桌写的以下短文。

For example, the top crowd decides that it is smart to wear bright red sweaters. Very soon everybody is wearing a bright red sweater.There is nothing wrong with that, except the fact that bright red is not suitable on some people at all.The situation can even become dangerous, if the top crowd decides that it is smart to drink or to drive cars at 70 miles an hour. Then the people who follow the lead are causing danger to people's lives. They are like sheep being led to the slaughterhouse (屠宰场).Perhaps you have come across situations like these more than once in your life. In fact, at one time or another you probably did something you knew to be wrong. You may have excused yourself by saying, "The crowd does it." Well, let the crowd do it, but don't do it yourself. Learn to say, "No." Make your own judge (判断). If you know the crowd is planning something with which you disagree, have the courage to leave them politely. You'll have the satisfaction of standing on your own feet. 31.

Instead they complain(抱怨) about their problems and difficulties as if life should be easy. It seems to them that difficulties stand for a special kind of suffering especially forced on them or elseon their families, their class, or even their nation.What makes life difficult is that the process of facing and solving problemsis a painful one. Problems, depending on their nature, cause sadness, or loneliness(孤独) or regret or anger or fear. These are uncomfortable feelings, oftenas painful as any kind of physical pain. And since life causes a lot of problems,life is always difficult and is full of pain as well as joy.Yet, it is in this whole process of solving problems that life has its meaning. Problems are the serious test that tells us success from failure. When we want to encourage the growth of human spirit, we encourage the human ability to solve problems, just as in school we set problems for our children to solve. It is throughthe pain of meeting and working out problems that we learn. As Benjamin Franklinsaid, "Those things that hurt, instruct(指导)." It is for this reason that wise people learn not to fear but to welcome the pain of problems.40.From the passage, it can be inferred that_______.A.everybody has problems B.we become stronger by facing and solving the problems of lifeC.life is difficult because our problems bring us painD.people like to complain about their problems41. The writer probably used just one short sentence in the first paragraph to ___.A. save spaceB. persuade readersC. make readers laughD. get readers' attention42. The main idea of paragraph 3 is that _________.A. most people feel life is easyB. the writer feel life is easyC. the writer likes to complain about his problemsD. most people complain about how hard their lives are43. According to the passage, we give school children difficult problems to solvein order to ______.A. encourage them to learnB. teach them to fear the pain of solving the problemsC. help them learn to deal with painD. teach them how to respect problems44. The saying from Benjamin Franklin "Those things that hurt, instruct" suggeststhat ______.A. we do not learn from experienceB. we do not learn when we are in painC. pain teaches us important lessonsD. pain cannot be avoidedAlong the river banks of the Amazon and the Orinoco there lives a bird that swims before it can fly, flies like a fat chicken, eats green leaves, has the stomach of a cow and has claws (爪) on its wings when young. They build their homes about 4.6m above the river, an important feature for the safety of the young. It is called the hoatzin.In appearance, the birds of both sexes look very much alike with brown on the back and cream and red on the underside. The head is small, with a large set of feathers on the top, bright red eyes, and blue skin. Its nearest relatives are the common birds, cuckoos. Its most striking (显著的) feature, though, is only found in the young.Baby hoatzins have a claw on the leading edge of each wing and another at the end of each wing tip. Using these four claws, together with the beak (喙), they can climb about in the bushes, looking very much like primitive(原始的) birds must have done. When the young hoatzins have learned to fly, they lose their claws.During the drier months between December and March hoatzins fly about the forest in groups of 20 to 30 birds, but in April, when the rainy season begins, they collect together in smaller living units of two to seven birds for producing purposes. 45.What is the text mainly about?A.Hoatzins in dry and rainy seasons.B.The relatives and enemies of hoatzins.C.Primitive birds and hoatzins of the Amazon.D.The appearance and living habits of hoatzins.46.Young hoatzins are different from their parents in that_________ .A.they look like young cuckoosB.they have claws on the wingsC.they eat a lot like a cowD.they live on river banks47.What can we infer about primitive birds from the text?A.They had claws to help them climb.B.They could fly long distances.C.They had four wings like hoatzins.D.They had a head with long feathers on the top.48.Why do hoatzins collect together in smaller groups when the rainy season comes? A.To find more food. B.To protect themselves better.C.To keep themselves warm. D.To produce their young.Do you like shopping? Or does the thought of wandering round the shops fill you with terror? For some of us,shopping is an enjoyable way of spending our spare time and our money. For me.it's something I would rather avoid.Thank goodness forthe Internet! It's more convenient to buy CDs,electrical items,even food,from the comfort of your sofa.But that’s not the only reason:price is an important factor.We can buy goods and services cheaper online. But sometimes the problem is knowing what to buy.This has led to a type of shopping called “show rooming”.Show rooming is something I've done.I will go to a shop to see,touch and try out products but then go home and buy them online at a knock—down price.I'm not alone in doing this.Research by a company called Foolproof,found 24%of people show roomed while Christmas shopping in 2013.Amy Cashman,Head of Technology at TNS UK,says the reasons for this new shopping habit are that“people are lacking time,lacking money and they want security about the products they are buying.”She explains that consumers are not only shopping online at home but they are using the Internet in store or on their smartphones to shop around.But does this mean technology will kill shops? Certainly shops will change.They will have to offer more competitive prices or encourage people to buy more by giving in—store discounts or free girls.We mustn’t forget that buying in a shop means you can get expert advice from the sales assistant and you can get good aftercare.It’s good to speak to a real human rather than look at a faceless computer screen but at least by show rooming,you get the best of both worlds!49.The two questions in Paragraph l are raised to _______.A.introduce the topic B.give two examplesC.compare different opinions D.get answers from readers50.What does show rooming mean in the text?A.Trying in shops and buying online.B.Showing products in a room.C.Buying something in a store.D.Shopping on the Internet.51.According to Amy Cashman,which is not the reason for show rooming?A.The lack of time. B.The comfort of the sofa.C.The shortness of money. D.The security of the product.52.What can be inferred from Paragraph 4 ?A.Online shops will disappear.B.Free gifts will surely promote sales.C.Shops need necessary changes.D.Shops will be replaced by online shops.53.The author's attitude towards show rooming is _______A.critical B.neutral C.supportive D.casual五、短文改错(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)54.假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文,请你修改你同桌写的以下短文。

We sat down and had a rest near a path at the foot of a hill. It was quiet and we enjoyed ourselves. Suddenly we heard bells ringing at the top of the hill. What we saw made us pick up all our things and run back to the car as quickly as we could.

They took care of their kids without the help of the kid’s mothers. At the same time, they also took part in different kinds of activities with their kids together, such as cooking, fishing and selling goods.Why is the show so popular? “It reflect s (折射) social reality. In big cities, fathers are always busy earning money and making achievements in their career. They don’t spare more time with their kids.” said Xie Dikui, general director of the show. As the father of a 3-year-old daughter, Xie said that he found his own heart being touched as he made it. “Although these fathers are busy, they are able to spare time for their kids. We can do better than them.”This also happens in some rural areas in China.

Mr. Xu often goes back to his hometown during summer and winter vacationsCWhen I was growing up in America, I was ashamed of my mother’s Chinese English. Because of her English, she was often treated unfairly. People in department stores, at banks, and at restaurants did not take her seriously ,did not give her goodservice ,pretended not to understand her ,or even acted as if they did not hear her .My mother has realized the limitations of her English as well. When I was fifteen, she used to have me call people on phone to pretend I was she . I was forced to ask for information or even to yell at people who had been rude to her. One time I had to call her stockbroker (股票经纪人).I said in an adolescent voice that was not very convincing, “This is Mrs.Tan..”And my mother was standing beside me ,whispering loudly, “Why he does’t send me check ?It has already been two weeks late.”And then , in perfect English I said : “I’m getting rath er concerned .You agreed to send the check two weeks ago, but it hasn’t arrived.”Then she talked more loudly. “What he wants? I e to New York tell him in front of his boss.” And so I turned to the stockbroker again, “I can’t tolerate any more excuse. If I don’t receive the check immediately , I am going to have to speak to your manager when I am in New York next week.”The next week we ended up in New York. While I was sitting there red-faced, my mother, the real Mrs.Tan, was shouting to his boss in her broken English.When I was a teenager, my mother’s broken English embarrassed me. But now, I see it differently. To me, my mother’s English is perfectly clear, perfectly natural. It is my mother tongue. Her language, as I hear it, is vivid, direct, and full of observation and wisdom. It was the language that helped shape the way I saw things, expressed ideas, and made sense of the world.66.Why was the author’s mother poorly served?A. She was unable to speak good English.B. She was often misunderstood.C. She was not clearly heard.D. She was not very polite.67.From Paragraph 2, we know that the author was .A. good at pretendingB. rude to the stockbrokerC. ready to help her motherD. unwilling to phone for her mother68.After the author made the phone call, .A .they forgave the stockbrokerB. they failed to get the checkC. they went to New York immediatelyD. they spoke to their boss at once69.What does the a uthor think of her mother’s English now?A. It confuses her.B. It embarrasses her.C. It helps her understand the world.D. It helps her tolerate rude people.70.We can inter from the passage that Chinese English .A. is clear and natural to non-native speakersB. is vivid and direct to non-native speakersC. has a very bad reputation in AmericaD. may bring inconvenience in AmericaPart IV Writing (45 marks)Section A (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.How do we find happiness every single day?

Go over the list and tell yourself what a wonderful person you are and what a great job you have done.Have you ever kept a journal? Sometimes writing things down will give us clarity and awareness. When you write down in a journal, you have the ability to express yourself as you truly would like to be. Writing is part of inner peace, which is a road towards happiness. Take 5 minutes every day to write down your ideas and thoughts in your journal. By doing so, you will find inner peace and a sense of happiness.The 3 easy steps above take only 15 minutes. Not only will it bring happiness to you but also to others.Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.[1]When children go to camp, they are on their own, sometimes for the very first time in their lives. They have to decide what to wear, what to eat and which activities to participate in. As a result they develop confidence and independence.[2]As self-respect develops from learning to be on their own, children continue to try new activities. Also it is possible that they will engage in what they are unfamiliar with. In school, children do not experience success in the same way. Camp can be a school without failure because just having fun makes them a success.[3]One of the greatest benefits of a camp experience is that children develop social skills. In a camp setting, a good counselor will make sure that every camper is included in the activity and that each child interacts with the others in a positive way. They learn to give and take, and they learn how to work and cooperate. Something as simple as clean-up, is not only there to get the cabin clean, but to promote a team atmosphere of working together which in turn results in friendship.[4]The obvious benefit of camp is that campers make long lasting friendships. These friendships can often be unique and special because campers are living with each other and see the true personalities. Chi1dren learn to see others from a different viewpoint. Children tend to be accepted for who they are and do not have to be concerned about what they wear, what they are good at and how they look. This is because in a camp setting, respect and caring finally win out over materialistic objectives.[5]In a word, camp does give children fun, friends and fulfillment.81.According to Paragraph 2, what makes camp different from a school?

I found myself at a checkout counter behind an elderly woman seemingly in no hurry as she paid for her groceries(食品杂货). A PhD student with not a lot of money, I had hurried into the store to pick up some flowers.We were in Boston, a place not always known for small conversation between strangers. The woman stopped emptying her basket and looked up at me. She smiled. It was a nice smile –warm and comforting—and I returned her gift by smiling back.“Must be a special lady, whoever it is that will be getting those beautiful flowers,” she said.“Yes, she’s special,” I said, and then to my embarrassment, the words kept coming out.“It’s only our second date, but somehow I am just having the feeling she’s ‘the one’. Jokingly, I added, “The only problem is that I can’t figure out why she’d want to date a guy like me.”“Well, I think she’s very lucky to have a boyfriend who brings her such lovely flowers and who is obviously in love with her,” the woman said.” “My husband used to bring me flowers every week –even when times were tough and we didn’t have much money. Those were incredible days; he was very romantic and – of course – I miss him since he’s passed away.”I paid for my flowers as she was gathering up her groceries. There was no doubt in my mind as I walked up to her.I touched her on the shoulder and said, “You were right, you know. These flowers are indeed for a very special lady.” I handed her the flowers and thanked her for such a nice conversation.It took her a moment to realize that I was giving her the flowers I had just purchased. “You have a wonderful evening,” I said. I left her with a big smile and my heart warmed as I saw her smelling the beautiful flowers.I was slightly late for my date that night and telling my girlfriend the above story. A couple of years later, when I finally worked up the courage to ask her to marry me, she told me that this story had helped to seal it for her –that was the night that I won her heart.80.What does the underlined phrase “her gift”(Paragraph 2) refer to?A.Her smile.B.Her words.C.Her flowers.D.Her politeness.81.

Immediately say it to yourself several times without moving your lips. You could also repeat the name in a way that does not sound forced or artificial.Ask the other person to recite and repeat.You can let other people help you remember their names. After you’ve been introduced to someone,ask that person to spell the name mad pronounce it correctly for you. Most people will be pleased by the effort you’re making to learn their names.Admit you don’t know.Admitting that you can’t remember someone’s name can actually make people relaxed. Most of them will feel sympathy if you say. “I’m working to remember names better. Yours is right on the tip of my tongue. What is it again?”Use associations.Link each person yon meet with one thing you find interesting or unusual. For example,you could make a mental note: "Vicki Cheng -- tall, black hair. " To reinforce you’re your associations, write them on a small card as soon as possible.Limit the number of new names you learn at one time.When meeting a group of people, concentrate on remembering just two or three names. Freeyourself from remembering every one. Few of the people in mass introductions expect you to remember their names. Another way is to limit yourself to learning just first names. Last names can come later.Go early.Consider going early to conferences, parties and classes. Sometimes just a few people show up on time. That's fewer names for you to remember.

You know people just like that, don’t you?They keep taking pictures because they think that it helps record the moment, but as Henkel’s latest study has just found out, this obsession may prevent their brains from remembering what actually happened, reported The Guardian.In her study, Henkel, led a group of college students around a museum and asked them to simply observe 15 objects and to photograph 15 others. The next day the students’ memory of the tour was tested, and the results showed that they were less accurate in recognizing the objects and they remember fewer details about them if they photographed them.“When people rely on technology to remember for them---counting on the camera to record the event and thus not needing to attend to it fully themselves, it can have a negative impact on how well they remember their experiences,” Henkel explained.But there is also an exception: if students zoomed in to photograph part of an object, their memory actually improved, and those who focused the lens on a specific area could even recall parts that weren’t in the frame.So basically, this study is saying that constantly taking pictures can harm your memory. But shouldn’t reviewing pictures we have taken help wake up our memories? This is true, but only if we spend enough time doing it.“In order to remember, we have to access and interact with the photos, rather than just amassing them.’’ Henkle told The Telegraph. However, previous research has shown that most people never take the time to look over their digital pictures simply because there are too many of them and they aren’t usually very organized on their computer.88.The author mentioned Henkel’s trip to the Grand Canyon at the beginning to ________.A. describe the great view of the Grand CanyonB. complain about some tourist’s bad habitsC. point out people’s obsession with taking picturesD. give suggestions on how to enjoy one’s tour89. Which of the following statements about Henkel’s study is TURE according to the article?A. Taking pictures in museum tour helps students organize objects better.B. Reviewing pictures always helps people bring back memories.C. Pictures that focus on the details of objects are likely to improve people’s memoriesD. People should spend more time studying real objects than taking pictures of them.90. The word “amassing” in the last paragraph probably means_________________.A. displayingB. collectingC. ignoringD. remembering91. What is the article mainly about?A. Some skills to learn for taking pictures.B. People’s obsession with taking pictures.C. How pictures remind us of our past.D. How to deal with pictures after taking trips.V. TranslationDirections: Translate the following sentences into English, using the wording given in the brackets.92. 知识的传播会使世界成为一个更加美好的地方。

For example, the top crowd decides that it is smart to wear bright red sweaters. Very soon everybody is wearing a bright red sweater.There is nothing wrong with that, except the fact that bright red is not suitable on some people at all.The situation can even become dangerous, if the top crowd decides that it is smart to drink or to drive cars at 70 miles an hour. Then the people who follow the lead are causing danger to people's lives. They are like sheep being led to the slaughterhouse (屠宰场).Perhaps you have come across situations like these more than once in your life. In fact, at one time or another you probably did something you knew to be wrong. You may have excused yourself by saying, "The crowd does it." Well, let the crowd do it, but don't do it yourself. Learn to say, "No." Make your own judge (判断). If you know the crowd is planning something with which you disagree, have the courage to leave them politely. You'll have the satisfaction of standing on your own feet.31.The writer disapproves of wearing red sweaters if _____.A. the crowd is wearing themB. you don't look good in redC. you can't afford themD. your parents disapprove32.The writer urges the readers to ____.A. obey their parentsB. take the advice of their eldersC. be independentD. follow the crowd33.People who blindly follow the "top" crowd ____.A. will make themselves happyB. will lose friendsC. sometimes do things against their better judgmentD. finally become pace-setters in their own right34.The main idea of this passage is that ____.A. in every school there is a "top" crowd that sets the paceB. it is a mistake to follow the "top" crowd blindlyC. at one time or another you probably did something you knew to be wrongD. people who follow the "top" crowd are endangering their lives 35.Which is the best title for this passage?A.

In a college newspaper.Life is difficult.It is a great truth because once we truly understand and accept it, then life is no longer difficult.Most people do not fully see this truth. Instead they complain(抱怨) about their problems and difficulties as if life should be easy. It seems to them that difficulties stand for a special kind of suffering especially forced on them or else on their families, their class, or even their nation.What makes life difficult is that the process of facing and solving problems is a painful one. Problems, depending on their nature, cause sadness, or loneliness(孤独) or regret or anger or fear. These are uncomfortable feelings, often as painful as any kind of physical pain. And since life causes a lot of problems, life is always difficult and is full of pain as well as joy.Yet, it is in this whole process of solving problems that life has its meaning. Problems are the serious test that tells us success from failure. When we want to encourage the growth of human spirit, we encourage the human ability to solve problems, just as in school we set problems for our children to solve. It is through the pain of meeting and working out problems that we learn. As Benjamin Franklin said, "Those things that hurt, instruct(指导)." It is for this reason that wise people learn not to fear but to welcome the pain of problems.40.From the passage, it can be inferred that_______.A.everybody has problemsB.we become stronger by facing and solving the problems of lifeC.life is difficult because our problems bring us painD.people like to complain about their problems41.The writer probably used just one short sentence in the first paragraph to ___.A. save spaceB. persuade readersC. make readers laughD. get readers' attention42.The main idea of paragraph 3 is that _________.A. most people feel life is easyB. the writer feel life is easyC. the writer likes to complain about his problemsD. most people complain about how hard their lives are43.According to the passage, we give school children difficult problems to solve in order to ______.A. encourage them to learnB. teach them to fear the pain of solving the problemsC. help them learn to deal with painD. teach them how to respect problems44.The saying from Benjamin Franklin "Those things that hurt, instruct" suggests that ______.A. we do not learn from experienceB. we do not learn when we are in painC. pain teaches us important lessonsD. pain cannot be avoidedAlong the river banks of the Amazon and the Orinoco there lives a bird that swims before it can fly, flies like a fat chicken, eats green leaves, has the stomach of a cow and has claws (爪) on its wings when young. They build their homes about 4.6m above the river, an important feature for the safety of the young. It is called the hoatzin.In appearance, the birds of both sexes look very much alike with brown on the back and cream and red on the underside. The head is small, with a large set of feathers on the top, bright red eyes, and blue skin. Its nearest relatives are the common birds, cuckoos. Its most striking (显著的) feature, though, is only found in the young.Baby hoatzins have a claw on the leading edge of each wing and another at the end of each wing tip. Using these four claws, together with the beak (喙), they can climb about in the bushes, looking very much like primitive(原始的) birds must have done. When the young hoatzins have learned to fly, they lose their claws.During the drier months between December and March hoatzins fly about the forest in groups of 20 to 30 birds, but in April, when the rainy season begins, they collect together in smaller living units of two to seven birds for producing purposes.45.What is the text mainly about?A.Hoatzins in dry and rainy seasons.B.The relatives and enemies of hoatzins.C.Primitive birds and hoatzins of the Amazon.D.The appearance and living habits of hoatzins.46.Young hoatzins are different from their parents in that_________ .A.they look like young cuckoosB.they have claws on the wingsC.they eat a lot like a cowD.they live on river banks47.What can we infer about primitive birds from the text?A.They had claws to help them climb.B.They could fly long distances.C.They had four wings like hoatzins.D.They had a head with long feathers on the top.48.Why do hoatzins collect together in smaller groups when the rainy season comes?A.To find more food.

For some of us,shopping is an enjoyable way of spending our spare time and our money. For me.it's something I would rather avoid.Thank goodness for the Internet! It's more convenient to buy CDs,electrical items,even food,from the comfort of your sofa.But that’s not the onlyreason:price is an important factor.We can buy goods and services cheaper online. But sometimes the problem is knowing what to buy.This has led to a type of shopping called “show rooming”.Show rooming is something I've done.I will go to a shop to see,touch and try out products but then go home and buy them online at a knock—down price.I'm not alone in doing this.Research by a company called Foolproof,found 24%of people show roomed while Christmas shopping in 2013.Amy Cashman,Head of Technology at TNS UK,says the reasons for this new shopping habit are that“people are lacking time,lacking money and they want security about the products they are buying.”She explains that consumers are not only shopping online at home but they are using the Internet in store or on their smartphones to shop around.But does this mean technology will kill shops? Certainly shops will change.They will have to offer more competitive prices or encourage people to buy more by giving in—store discounts or free girls.We mustn’t forget that buying in a shop means you can get expert advice from the sales assistant and you can get good aftercare.It’s good to speak to a real human rather than look at a faceless computer screen but at least by show rooming,you get the best of both worlds!49.The two questions in Paragraph l are raised to _______.A.introduce the topic B.give two examplesC.compare different opinions D.get answers from readers50.What does show rooming mean in the text?A.Trying in shops and buying online.B.Showing products in a room.C.Buying something in a store.D.Shopping on the Internet.51.According to Amy Cashman,which is not the reason for show rooming?A.The lack of time.B.The comfort of the sofa.C.The shortness of money.D.The security of the product.52.What can be inferred from Paragraph 4 ?A.Online shops will disappear.B.Free gifts will surely promote sales.C.Shops need necessary changes.D.Shops will be replaced by online shops.53.The author's attitude towards show rooming is _______A.critical B.neutral C.supportive D.casual五、短文改错(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)54.假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文,请你修改你同桌写的以下短文。
