AEverybody has one of those days when everything goes wrong. This is what happened to Harry.He got up one morning very late because he had forgotten to wind up (旋) his alarm clock. He tried to shave quickly and cut himself. When he got dressed, he got blood all over his clean shirt, so he had to find another one. The only other shirt that was clean needed ironing (熨), so he ironed it. While he was ironing it, there was a knock at the door. It was theman to read the electricity meter (表). He showed him where the meter was, said goodbye and found that the iron had burnt a hole in his shirt. So he had to wear the one with the blood on it after all. By th is time it was very late, so he decided he couldn’t go to work by bus. He telephoned for a taxi to take him to work. The taxi arrived and Harry got in and began to read the newspaper.In another part of the town, a man had killed a woman with a knife and was seen to run away in a taxi. When Harry’ s taxi stopped outside his office, a policeman happened to be standing there. He saw the blood on Harry’ s shirt, and took him to the police station. He was kept till 3 o’clock in the afternoon before the police w ere sure that he was not the man they wanted. When he finally arrived at the office at about four, his boss took a look at him and told him to go away and find another job.21.

Peers affect your life, whether you know it or not, just by spending time with you.Pe ers can have a good effect on one another. Maybe another student in your science class taught you an easy way to remember the planets in solar system. Maybe you got others excited about your n ew favorite book and now everyone’s reading it.However, sometimes peers affect one another in another way. For example, one kid in school might try to get another to cut class with him, your soccer friend might try to persuade you to be mean to another player and never pass her the ball, or a kid in the neighborhood might want you to shoplift with him. Some kids give in to peer pressure because they want to be liked, to fit in, or because they worry that other kids may make fun of them if they don’t go along with the group. Others may go along because they are curious to try something new that others are doing. The idea that “everyone’s doing it” may influence some kids to leave their better judgments or their common senses behind.Peer pressure can be extremely strong and hard to get rid of. Experiments have shown how peer pressure can influence someone to change her/ his mind from what she/ he knows for sure is a correct answer to the incorrect answer-just because everyone else gives the incorrect answer! That holds true for people of any age in peer pressure situations.It can be hard to walk away from peer pressure, but it can be done. Paying attention to your own feelings and beliefs about what is right and wrong can help you know the right thing to do. Inner strength and self-confidence can help you stand firm, walk away and resist doing something when you know better.25. What is the best title for this passage?A. Peers have a good effectB. Children give in to peer pressureC. Peer pressure is hard to resistD. Peer pressure26. The underlin ed word “shoplift” in Paragraph 3 probably means “________”.A. do some shoppingB. carry goods for shopsC. steal in shopsD. take the lift upstairs in shops27. The writer will NOT agree that ________.A. only children change their correct answers to incorrect ones because of peer pressureB. peers have an effect on one anotherC. peer pressure can be got rid ofD. peers will believe in themselves if there are other peers who agree with them28. By writing the pas sage the writer intends to ________.A. tell people to follow other’s opinionsB. warn people to stay away from their peersC. tell it is hard to walk away from pressureD. persuade people to do the right thing regardless of peer pressureCSome people love eating food right after it is cooked. I prefer food just take out from the freezer. Fruit, candy, nuts, chocolate, cake with butter cream frosting(糖霜),even peas, all of them taste delicious when frozen. In fac t, I often eat them that way.I was a kid when I picked up the habit. In my family, lots of things were thrown into the freezer —finally, two freezers—to prevent them from going bad. Among them were some of the candies my sisters and I had collected o n Halloween.If we eat when they are still warm, we’ll find ourselves taking the cookies more than we should. It’s better if we can put them into the freezer and wait. That way we’ll eat less and enjoy them more because they are hard and chewing becomes a slower, more patient effort. That’s the point about frozen butter-cream frosting. Put it in your mouth at room temperature, and it’s gone very quickly. But when it’s frozen, you can enjoy the taste much longer as it melts(融化) in your mouth.The freezer treats a lot of fruits kindly. Take frozen grapes for example, I keep a bowl of grapes in my freezer. They become a little icy, and somehow their sweetness isimproved. They are perfect and healthy dessert(点心).This is the same with oranges, apples, bananas…You might think bananas would get super-hard when frozen. Wrong! They become cool, creamy and sweet. If you have wisely covered some or all of the bananas with melted chocolate before putting them into the freezer, they will have a double taste.As long as you aren’t eating anything that truly has to be hot, go ahead and experiment.29. What is the passage intended to tell us ____________.A. Fruit should be frozen before one eats it.B. Frozen food is better than hot food.C. The author prefers frozen food.D. Hot food is not healthy.30. The author began to enjoy frozen food when he _________.A. was youngB. learned cookingC. got marriedD. got a fever31. Why does the author NOT advise us to take hot cookies?A. Because they need more time to prepare.B. Because the taste is not good when they are hot.C. Because they are too delicious to avoid our overeating.D. Because we may eat them quickly and enjoy them less.32. What does the underlined word “it” in the third paragraph refer to?A. The tasteB. Butter creamC. The cookieD. Frozen butter cream frostingDFor those who are tired doing the laundry, Samsung has found an answer: a washing machine that can tell you when your laundry is done via a smartphone app(application).Strange though it may seem —“my wife already does that” was a common response among attendees viewing the device when it was introduced at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) this week — Samsung is just one of many appliance makers racing to install (安装) a large number of internet-connected features in machines in an effort to make them “smart”.Last year, it was a refrigerator that tweeted. This year, it’s Wi-Fi-enabled laundry machines and fridges that can tell you when your groceries are going bad.The washers and dryers, available starting in the spring, connect to any smartphone through a downloadable application. The phone can then be used as a remote control, so the machines can be turned on and off while their owners is at work or on the bus.Samsung says it’s not just something new — the app connection actually has some practical uses. “If you started to dry clothes in the morning and forgot to take them out, you can go to your phone and restart your dryer for the time when come home, so your clothes are refreshed and ready to go,” said spokesperson Amy Schmidt.The company also says that with electricity rate(电价)varying depending on the time of day, more control over when the machines are used can help save money.Perhaps, but what they wil l probably really accomplish is what all good technologies do —enable laziness. Ra ther than getting up to check on whether the laundry is done, users will instead monitor it on their phones while watching TV.33. What can be inferred from the common response of the attendees at the CES?A. The machine will be a big success.B. their wives like doing the laundry.C. The machine is unrelated to their life.D. This kind of technology is familiar to them.34. What can we learn about the new laundry machines?A. They can tell you when your clothes need washingB. They can be controlled with a smartphoneC. They are difficult to operateD. They are sold at a low price35. We can conclude form Samsung’s statements that ___________.A. the app connection makes life easierB. it is better to dry clothes in the morningC. smartphone can shorten the drying timeD. we should refresh clothes back at home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。
