In the end, they worked out a software program with the old machine. Bill sold it for 4200 dollars when he was only 17.In 1973, Bill went to Harvard University . He developed the Basic language for the first microcomputer . In his third year, he left Harvard. Bill began his company in 1975 with his friend Paul Allen. They thought that the computer would be a very important tool in every office and in every home, so they began developing software for personal computers. They developed the software to make it easier for people to use computers.In 1999, Bill wrote a book. In the book, he told people how computer technology could solve business problems in new ways.

There were green forests and they could find enough to eat. Later, parts of the earth became cold and dry, and the forests there died. Then dinosaurs could not find enough to eat. This must be one reason why dinosaurs died out.We can guess another reason. New kinds of animals came on the earth. Some had big brains and strong. They could kill dinosaurs.There may be other reasons that we don't know about yet. Scientists are are trying to make more discoveries about dinosaurs. Dinosaurs were of many sizes and shapes. Some were as small as chickens, while some were about 90 feet long.There were also terrible rights between dinosaurs. They night have happened more than 100 million years ago. Though there was no man to see any of the fights, we can be told by the animal's footprints (足迹) that fights did take place.( )5. According to the passage, dinosaurs did exist only on the earth _____.A. for millions of yearB. millions of years agoC. more than 100 million years agoD. when it was warm and wet somewhere( )6. One reason why dinosaurs died out is that _____.A. there were too many dinosaursB. parts of the earth became cold and dryC. the dead forests there could not supply them with enough foodD. they couldn’t find enough go eat( )7.

The African elephant is the biggest of all land animals. It may be more than 12 feet tall and weigh over 6 tons. the Indian elephant is a foot or so shorter and weighs less, but it still huge. The African elephant has bigger ears, longer tusks and a flatter head.Like all other mammals, elephants have hair,but adults have very little. Young ones have much more. Most elephants are members of a herd(群). The herds wander about while hunting. All elephants are plant eaters. They gather grass and leaves with their trunks and dig up roots with their sharp tusks. An elephant needs several hundred pounds of food and over 30 gallons of water a day. It uses its trunk to put food and water into its mouth. Since its trunk is its nose, it also breathes through it.People have a number of mistaken ideas about elephants. One is that elephants never forget. Elephants have large brains and very intelligent, but they forget just as we do.Another mistaken idea is that elephants outlive people. Actually, few live more than 70. There are no elephant graveyards, places where elephants supposedly go when they die. And the so-called pygmy elephant(侏儒象) are really African elephants that live in the forest and are not as big as those who live in the bush.In Asia people have used elephants for working and hunting for centuries.Rulers there have been proud of their royal elephants. African elephants are seldom tamed, and the idea has grown up that they cannot be. This is another wrong idea. Jumbo, the famous circus(马戏团) elephant was an African elephant. And in early times African elephants served as war horses.The elephants of today are remnants(残余) of a much large group. Fossils of hundreds of kinds have been found.( )9.What is special about young elephants ?A.They like living in a big group.B.They have more hair than adults.C.They are shorter and very weak.D.They have much flatter heads.( )10.What is the second paragraphy mainly about ?A.The living habits of elephants.B.The hair and trunks of elephants.C.The importance of the tusks.D.How elephants eat their food.( )11.What does the underlined word “outlive” in Paragraphy3 probably mean ?A.AttackB.Make friends withC.Serve forD.live longer than( )12.Which of the following is NOT the mistaken idea about elephants?A.They are plant eatersB.They never gorget.C.They outlive people.D.They cannot be tamed.DOnline shopping has become more and more popular these years. Women have jumped ahead of men for the first time in using the Internet to do their holiday shopping, according to a study published last week in the US.For years men have been more likely to shop on the Internet than women, but during the 2013 holiday season 58 percent of those shopping online were women.“It shows how popu lar the Internet is becoming,” said Lee Rainie, director of the Pew Internet and American Life Project group, which carried out the study. Rainie said it was only a matter of time before women shoppers caught up with men. This is because women traditionally make decisions about spending.Users were more likely to shop online to save time. Internet users between the ages 18 and 29 were responsible for some of the surprising increase in the online gift-buying population this time around. However, three-quarters of the US Internet users did not buy holiday gifts online in 2013. They worried about credit card security(信用卡安全), or just compared online prices with off-line prices, then dashed off to the shops to get the best deals.“But even if shoppers don't buy online, websites are becoming promotion(促销) tools for stores,” said Dan Hess, vice president of Com Score Network Inc. Hess said that actually most stores, websites can make customers fully believe the security of their credit card numbers. And most are able to ensurethat gifts arrive on time.“It's all about making the shopping experience more efficient(效率高的), more reliable and more comfortable.” Hess said.( )13.Which of the following statements is true?A.There were fewer women online shoppers than men in 2013.B.More women shopped online than men in 2013.C.Most of the Internet users between the ages 18 and 29 were women.D.People in the US were more likely to buy gifts online( )14.What does the underlined part “dashed off” probably mean?A.关闭B.推迟C.匆忙D.起飞( )15.According to Dan Hess, shopping online is_______.A.unsafeB.convenientC.a waste of moneyD.cheaper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答案。

人教课标版高一下学期期中英语考试卷（实验班）一、阅读理解（每小题2分，共40分）AThe man goes quietly into the room. He stands over the bed where his three-day-old son is lying and begins to speak to him.“My son, I have dreamt of you for many, many years. I had your name picked out even before you were born because I knew that I wanted you. Every time I thought of you I would have a smile on my face. Gabriel. You always gave me joy.“I really hope we have a great relationship, where you can talk to me about anything and not be embarrassed. Most of the time it will seem like I am too old to understand, but I’m sure you will see that, as I did with my father, my advice is some of the best you will get.“I am sorry for the misunderstandings (误会) we will have, but you will understand I spent my whole life waiting for you. You are my son, so I am not going to sit back and watch you hurt yourself. You are very important to me. ”The man stops and looks at his son. Then he begins to sob (呜咽).“Sorry, my dear, I’m crying because something bad happened. I am seriously ill. I will leave you soon.” The man gives a weak laugh. “This is the first time in many years I have been brought to tears.” The man kisses the baby who is sleeping so soundly and w hispers, “I will love you forever.”1.

Every four years, many countries send their best sportsmen to compete for the highest honour in sport. As many as 6，000 people take part in over 20 sports. For the winners, there are gold medals and glory. But there is honour, too, for all who compete, win or lose. That is in the spirit of the Olympics—to take part is what matters.The Olympic Games always start in a bright colour and action. The teams of all the nations parade in the opening ceremony and march round the track. The custom is for the Greek team to march in first, for it was in Greece that the Olympics began. The team of the country where the Games are being held—the host country—marches in last.The runner with the Olympic torch (火炬) then enters the stadium and lights the flame. A sportsman from the host country takes the Olympic oath (宣誓) on behalf of all the competitors. The judges and officials also take an oath. After the sportsmen march out of the stadium, the host country puts on a wonderful display.The competitions begin the next day. There are usually more than twenty sports in the Games. The rule is that there must be at least fifteen. The main events are in track and field，but there are a few days before these sports start. Each day the competitors take part in different sports，like riding，shooting，swimming，and cross －country running. Points are gained for each event. Medals are awarded for the individual winners and for national teams.More and more women are taking part in the Games. They first competed in 1900, in tennis and golf. Women's swimming events were introduced in 1912.But itwas not until 1928 that there were any track and field events for women. Now they compete in all but half a dozen of the sports. In horse riding, shooting, and boat racing, they may compete in the same events as men.4．Why is there honour for the losers as well as for the winners?A．Because losers and winners should be equally treated.B．Because failure is the mother of success.C．Because losers need encouragement.D．Because what really matters is to take part in the Olympic Games.5．Which of the following is a long－established practice in the opening ceremony?A．Runners enter the stadium with torches.B．Each team puts on a wonderful display.C．The Greek team marches in first.D．Sportsmen and sportswomen wear magnificent clothes.6．Who takes the Olympic oath?A．A judge from a foreign country.B．A sportsman from the host country.C．An officer from the host country.D．A Greek sportsman.7．When did women start taking part in the Olympic Games?A．In 1912. B．In 1900. C．In 1928. D．In 1924.CLaptop computers are popular all over the world. People use them on trains and airplanes, in airports and hotels. These laptops connect people to their workplace. In the United States today, laptops also connect students to their classrooms.Westlake College in Virginia will start a laptop computer program that allows students to do schoolwork anywhere they want. Within five years, each of the 1500 students at the college will receive a laptop. The laptops are part of a $10 million computer program at Westlake, a 110-year-old college. The students with laptops will also have access to the Internet. In addition, they will be able to use e-mail to "speak"with their teachers, their classmates, and their families. However, the most important part of the laptop program is that students will be able to use computers without going to computer labs. They can work with it at home, in a fast-food restaurant or under the trees—anywhere at all!Because of the many changes in computer technology, laptop use in higher education, such as colleges and universities, is workable. As laptops become more powerful, they become more similar to desktop computers.In addition, the portable computers can connect students to not only the Internet, but also libraries and other resources. State higher-education officials are studying how laptops can help students. State officials are also testing laptop programs at other universities, too.At Westlake College, more than 60 percent of the staff use computers. The laptops will allow all teachers to use computers in their lessons. As one Westlake teacher said, " Here we are in the middle of Virginia and we're giving students a window on the world. They can see everything and do everything."8. The main purpose of the laptop program is to give each student a laptop to _______.A. work at homeB. access the InternetC. use for their schoolworkD. connect them to libraries9. Why is the word "speak" in the second paragraph in quotation marks(引号)?A. None of the above reasons is correct.B. They use the computer language.C. Laptops have speakers.D. They don't really talk.10. Which of the following is true about Westlake College?A. All teachers use computers.B. It is an old college in America.C. 1500 students have laptops.D. Students there can do everything.11. A window on the world in the last paragraph means that students can _______.A. get information from around the worldB. travel around the worldC. attend lectures on information technologyD. have free laptopsDMany animal and plant species have become extinct and many more are in critical danger. Finding ways to protect the earth's wildlife and conserve the natural world they inhabit (居住) is now more important than ever.DodoThe Dodo is a classic example of how human caused damage to the earth's biology. The flightless Dodo was native to the Island of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean. It lived off fruit fallen from the island's trees and lived unthreatened until humans arrived in 1505. The easily controlled bird became a source of food for sailors and was attacked by animals introduced to the island by humans such as pigs, monkeys and rats. The population of Dodos rapidly decreased and the last one was killed in 1681.RhinosThe Rhino (犀牛) horn is a highly prized item for Asian medicine. This has led to the animal being hunted in its natural habitat. Once widespread in Africa and Eurasia, most Rhinos now live in protected natural parks and reserves (保护区). Their numbers have rapidly decreased in the last 50 years, and the animals remain under constant threat from poachers(偷猎者).The Giant PandaThe future of the World Wildlife Fund's symbol is far from certain. As few as1,000 remain in the wild. The Chinese government has set up 33 pandareserves to protect these beautiful animals and made poaching them punishable with 20 years in prison. However, the panda's distinct black and white patched coat fetches a high price on the black market and determined poachers still pose (造成) one of the most serious threats to the animals continued existence.WhalesThe International Whaling Commission is fighting to ensure the survival of thewhale species. Despite the fact that one-third the world'soceans have been declared whale sanctuaries (保护区),7 out of 13 whale species remain endangered. Hunted for their rich supply of oil, their numbers have decreased to just 300. Collisions with ships, poisonous pollution and being caught in fishing nets are other major causes of whale deaths.TigersThe last 100 years has seen a 95% reduction in the numbers of remaining tigers to between 5,000 and 7,000 and the Bali, Javan, and Caspian tigers are already extinct. The South China tiger is precariously close to disappearing, with only 20 to 30 still alive. Like the Rhino horn, tigers' bones and organs are sought after for traditional Chinese medicines. These items are traded illegally along with tiger skins.12. Which group of the following animals has already died out according to the text?A. The Dodo and the Bali, Javan, and Caspian tigers.B. The Rhino, Whale and the South China tiger.C. The Rhino, Panda, Whale and Tiger.D. The Dodo, Rhino and Giant Panda.13. ________can serve as a cure for certain diseases.A. The Dodo's delicious meatB. The panda's black and white patched coatC. The whale's rich oilD. The Rhino horn and tigers' bones and organs14. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. The number of South China tigers has reached crisis point.B. The whale is the representing mark for the World Wildlife Fund.C. People hunt for the endangered animals for high profit.D. Many animals are threatened with extinction as a result of human activity.15. Which of the following is mentioned in all the descriptions of those wild animals?A. The way of their life.B. Why they are hunted.C. The reason for their extinction or being in danger.D. Punishment for hunting wild animals.EMy mother is a diligent and kind woman. She is very busy from morning till night.

She goes to work early in the morning and does not return home until late in the afternoon._________17_______She treats them with patience and teaches them well.

Standing on the bridge, they 38 each other’s hands with 39 in their eyes.“Could you stay another few days?

AThanksgiving Day is special holiday in the United States and Canada. Families and friends gather to eat and give thanks for their blessing.Thanksgiving Day is really a harvest festival. This is why it is celebrated in late fall, after the crops are in. But one of the first thanksgivings in America had nothing to do with a good harvest. On December 4, 1619, the Pilgrims from England landed near what is now Charles City, Virginia. They knelt down and thanked God for their safe journey across the Atlantic.The first New England Thanksgiving did celebrate a rich harvest. The Pilgrims landed at what is now Plymouth, Massachusetts, in 1620. They had a difficult time and the first winter was cruel. Many of the Pilgrims died. But the next year, they had a good harvest. So Governor Bradford declared a three-day feast〔盛宴〕. The Pilgrims invited Indian friends to join them for their special feast. Everyone brought food.In time, other colonies〔殖民地〕began to celebrate a day of thanksgiving. But it took years before there was a national Thanksgiving Day. During the Civil War, Sarah Josepha Hale persuaded Abraham Lincoln to do something about it. He proclaimed〔宣布〕the last Thursday of November 1863 as a day of thanksgiving. Today, Americans celebrate this happy harvest festival on the fourth Thursday in November. Canadians celebrate Thanksgiving Day in much the same way as their American neighbours. But the Canadian thanks-giving Day falls on the second Monday in October.1. The first to celebrate thanksgiving were .A. some people from EnglandB. the American IndiansC. Sarah Josepha HaleD. Governor Bradford2. We can infer from the passage that New England must be .A. in the U. S. A.B. in Great BritainC. in CanadaD. on some island off the Atlantic3. Which of the following is NOT true?A. Thanksgiving Day used to be a holiday to celebrate a good harvest.B. Abraham Lincoln was not the first to decide on thanksgiving celebrations.C. Thanksgiving Day is celebrated to express the American and Indian people’s thanks toGod.D. There’s little difference between the American way and the Canadian way to celebrateThanksgiving Day.4. The passage mainly tells us .A. how Thanksgiving Day is celebrated in the U. S. A.B. how Thanksgiving Day came into being and the different ways it is celebratedC. that Thanksgiving Day is in fact a harvest holidayD. how the way to celebrate Thanksgiving Day changed with the time and placesBHow Americans Began to Eat TomatoesPeople have strange ideas about food. For example, the tomato is a kind of very delicious vegetable. It is one of useful plants that can be prepared in many ways. It has rich nutrition and vitamin in it. But in the 18th century, Americans never ate tomatoes. They grew them in their gardens because tomato plants are so pretty. But they thought the vegetable was poisonous (有毒的). They called tomatoes “poison apples.”President Thomas Jefferson, however, knew that tomatoes were good to eat. He was a learned man. He had been to Paris, where he learned to love the taste of tomatoes. He grew many kinds of tomatoes in his garden. The President taught his cook a way for a cream of tomato soup. This beautiful pink soup was served at the President’s party. The guests thought the soup tasted really good. They never thought their president would serve his honored guests poison apples. Jefferson never spoke to his honored (忠实的) guests about the fact.5. After you read the passage, which of the following do you think is true?A. Americans never ate tomatoes after they began to plant them.B. Americans didn’t eat tomatoes before 19th century.C. Even now Americans don’t eat tomatoes.D. In the 18th century Americans ate a lot of tomatoes.6. The passage tells us that Jefferson was a President who learned to love the taste oftomatoes .A. while he was in ParisB. when he was a little boyC. because his parents told him soD.rom books7. According to the text, _______ made the beautiful pink soup served at the President’sparty?A. the President himselfB. a French cookC. the President’s cookD. the President’s wife8. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?A. All of the guests knew the soup that was served at the President’s party was made oftomatoes.B. All of the guests thought the soup which was prepared by the President’s cook was nice.C. All of the guests thought the taste of the beautiful pink soup was nice.D. None of the guests knew that their president would serve his honored guests poisonapples.CMeeting people from another culture can be difficult. From the beginning, people may send the wrong signals(信号). Or they may pay no attention to signals from another person who is trying to develop a relationship.Different cultures emphasize(强调) the importance of relationship building to a greater or lesser degree. For example, business in some countries is not possible until there is a relationship of trust. Even with people at work, it is necessary to spend a lot of time in “small talk”, usually over a g lass of tea, before they do any job. In many European countries—like the UK or France—people find it easier to build up a lasting working relationship at restaurants or cafes rather than at the office.Talk and silence may also be different in some cultures. I once made a speech in Thailand.I had expected my speech to be a success and start a lively discussion; instead there was an uncomfortable silence. The people present just stared at me and smiled. After getting to know their ways better, I realized that they thought I was talking too much. In my own culture, we express meaning mainly through words, but people there sometimes feel too many words are unnecessary.Even within Northern Europe, cultural differences can cause serious problems. Certainly, English and German cultures share similar values; Germans prefer to get down to business more quickly. We think that they are rude. In fact, this is just because one culture starts discussions and makes decisions more quickly.People from different parts of the world have different values, and sometimes these values are quite against each other. However, if we can understand them better, a multicultural environment(多元文化环境) will offer a wonderful chance for us to learn from each other,9. The author mentions his experience in Thailand to show that_________.A. the English prefer to make long speechesB. too many words are of no useC. people from Thailand are quiet and shy by nameD. even talk and silence can be culturally different10. According to the text, how can people from different cultures understand each other better?A. By sharing different ways of lifeB. By accepting different babitsC. By recognizing different valuesD. By speaking each other’s languages11. What would be the best title for the text?A. Multicultural EnvironmentB. Cross-Cultural DifferencesC. How to Understand Each OtherD. How to Build up a RelationshipDIn choosing a friend, one should be very careful. A good friend can help you study. You can have fun together and make each other happy. Sometimes you will meet fair weather friends. They will be with you as long as you have money or luck, but when you are down, they will run away. How do I know when I have found a good friend? I look for certain qualities (品质) of chara cter, especially understanding, honesty and reliability (可靠).Above all else, I look for understanding in a friend. A good friend tries to understand how another person is feeling. He is not quick to judge. Instead, he tries to learn from others. He puts himself in the other person's place, and he tries to think of ways to be helpful. He is also a good listener.At the same time, however, a good friend is honest. He does not look for faults (过错) in others. He notices their good points. In short, a friend will try to understand me and accept me.Another quality of a friend is reliability. I can always depend on (信赖) a good friend. If he tells me he will meet me somewhere at a certain time, I can be sure that he will be there. If I need a favor, he will do his best to help me. If I am in trouble, he will not run away from me.There is a fourth quality that makes a friend special. A special friend is someone with whom we can have fun. We should enjoy our lives, and we would enjoy our friendship. That is why I especially like friends who are fun to be with. A good friend likes the same things I like. We share experience (经验) and learn from each other. A good friend has a good sense of humor (幽默), too. He likes to laugh with me. That is how we share in the joy of being friends. And I know that he is looking for the same quality in me.When I meet someone who is reliable, honest, and understanding, I know I've found a friend!12. Which of the following qualities the writer thinks is the most important in choosing afriend?A．understanding. B. honesty. C. reliability. D. a sense of humor.13. If you have fair weather friends, ______ .A. they will give you all that they have when you need helpB. you will be refused when you get into troubleC. you will become richD. you can be sure that you get real friends14．Good friends need to ______.A. always point out each other's mistakesB. be helped with moneyC. understand each other's feelingsD. have money or luck15．This passage mainly discuss ______ .A. the qualities of a friendB. where to choose friendsC. how to get along with friendsD. the importance of having a friend第二节根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中，选出能填入空白处的最正确选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

When he was young, he was good at science and maths. And he wanted to be a scientist.Bill started to play with computers when he was 13. At that time, computers were very large machines.Once he was interested in a very old computer. He and some of his friends spent lots of time doing unusual things with it. In the end, they worked out a software program with the old machine. Bill sold it for 4200 dollars when he was only 17.In 1973, Bill went to Harvard University . He developed the Basic language for the first microcomputer . In his third year, he left Harvard. Bill began his company in 1975 with his friend Paul Allen. They thought that the computer would be a very important tool in every office and in every home, so they began developing software for personal computers. They developed the software to make it easier for people to use computers.In 1999, Bill wrote a book. In the book, he told people how computer technology could solve business problems in new ways. It was one of the best-sellers on The New York Times' list. Bill Gates has many hobbies. He enjoyed reading very much. He also enjoys playing golf and bridge.( )1.

We can learn from the text that _____.A. Bill worked for Microsoft before he went to Harvard UniversityB. Bill sold his first software program for 420 dollarsC. Bill began his company in 1976 with his friendD. reading is one of Bill's hobbiesBMillions of years ago dinosaurs lived on the earth. In the days of dinosaurs, the whole earth was warm and wet. There were green forests and they could find enough to eat. Later, parts of the earth became cold and dry, and the forests there died. Then dinosaurs could not find enough to eat. This must be one reason why dinosaurs died out.We can guess another reason. New kinds of animals came on the earth. Some had big brains and strong. They could kill dinosaurs.There may be other reasons that we don't know about yet. Scientists are are trying to make more discoveries about dinosaurs. Dinosaurs were of many sizes and shapes. Some were as small as chickens, while some were about 90 feet long.There were also terrible rights between dinosaurs. They night have happened more than 100 million years ago. Though there was no man to see any of the fights, we can be told by the animal's footprints (足迹) that fights did take place.( )5. According to the passage, dinosaurs did exist only on the earth _____.A. for millions of yearB. millions of years agoC. more than 100 million years agoD. when it was warm and wet somewhere( )6.

The African elephant is the biggest of all land animals. It may be more than 12 feet tall and weigh over 6 tons. the Indian elephant is a foot or so shorter and weighs less, but it still huge. The African elephant has bigger ears, longer tusks and a flatter head.Like all other mammals, elephants have hair,but adults have very little. Young ones have much more. Most elephants are members of a herd(群). The herds wander about while hunting. All elephants are plant eaters. They gather grass and leaves with their trunks and dig up roots with their sharp tusks. An elephant needs several hundred pounds of food and over 30 gallons of water a day. It uses its trunk to put food and water into its mouth. Since its trunk is its nose, it also breathes through it.People have a number of mistaken ideas about elephants. One is that elephants never forget. Elephants have large brains and very intelligent, but they forget just as we do.Another mistaken idea is that elephants outlive people. Actually, few live more than 70. There are no elephant graveyards, places where elephants supposedly go when they die. And the so-called pygmy elephant(侏儒象) are really African elephants that live in the forest and are not as big as those who live in the bush.In Asia people have used elephants for working and hunting for centuries.Rulers there have been proud of their royal elephants. African elephants are seldom tamed, and the idea has grown up that they cannot be. This is another wrong idea. Jumbo, the famous circus(马戏团) elephant was an African elephant. And in early times African elephants served as war horses.The elephants of today are remnants(残余) of a much large group. Fossils of hundreds of kinds have been found.( )9.What is special about young elephants ?A.They like living in a big group.B.They have more hair than adults.C.They are shorter and very weak.D.They have much flatter heads.( )10.What is the second paragraphy mainly about ?A.The living habits of elephants.B.The hair and trunks of elephants.C.The importance of the tusks.D.How elephants eat their food.( )11.What does the underlined word “outlive” in Paragraphy3 probably mean ?A.AttackB.Make friends withC.Serve forD.live longer than ( )12.Which of the following is NOT the mistaken idea about elephants?A.They are plant eatersB.They never gorget.C.They outlive people.D.They cannot be tamed.DOnline shopping has become more and more popular these years. Women have jumped ahead of men for the first time in using the Internet to do their holiday shopping, according to a study published last week in the US.For years men have been more likely to shop on the Internet than women, but during the 2013 holiday season 58 percent of those shopping online were women.“It shows how popu lar the Internet is becoming,” said Lee Rainie, director of the Pew Internet and American Life Project group, which carried out the study. Rainie said it was only a matter of time before women shoppers caught up with men. This is because women traditionally make decisions about spending.Users were more likely to shop online to save time. Internet users between the ages 18 and 29 were responsible for some of the surprising increase in the online gift-buying population this time around.However, three-quarters of the US Internet users did not buy holiday gifts online in 2013. They worried about credit card security(信用卡安全), or just compared online prices with off-line prices, then dashed off to the shops to get the best deals.“But even if shoppers don't buy online, websites are becoming promotion(促销) tools for stores,” said Dan Hess, vice president of Com Score Network Inc. Hess said that actually most stores, websites can make customers fully believe the security of their credit card numbers. And most are able to ensure that gifts arrive on time.“It's all about making the shopping experience more efficient(效率高的), more reliable and more comfortable.” Hess said.( )13.Which of the following statements is true?A.There were fewer women online shoppers than men in 2013.B.More women shopped online than men in 2013.C.Most of the Internet users between the ages 18 and 29 were women.D.People in the US were more likely to buy gifts online( )14.What does the underlined part “dashed off” probably mean?A.关闭B.推迟C.匆忙D.起飞( )15.According to Dan Hess, shopping online is_______.A.unsafeB.convenientC.a waste of moneyD.cheaper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答案。

Butwhat Americans often consider the first Thanksgiving took place in Plymouth Colony. Today wecall it Massachusetts. They held a three-day celebration in the fall of 1621. They celebrated theharvest withmembers of a local Indian tribe (部落).The best-known food that Americans traditionally eat on Thanksgiving is turkey.Thanks-giving turkeys are traditionally served with a bread mixture that some Americans callstuffing. Side dishes include sweet potatoes, green beans and other vegetables. The mealtraditionally ends with a dessert of pumpkin pie or pecan pie.Some Thanksgiving foods have changed over time. For example, most turkeys these days arebred with larger breasts to provide more white meat. Corn has also changed. It tastes muchsweeter than that of the past.The way Americans prepare for Thanksgiving has also changed. Economist John Anderson ofthe American Farm Bureau Federation says people look for ways to save time. “There are a lot ofus who have grandmothers who would not even think of using a store-bought pie crust (面包皮).And that is kind of the least of the shortcuts that we use.” He says shortcuts like buying prepared foods for the holiday are part of a bigger trend (趋势) in America.Charity groups and religious organizations will also be busy this Thursday, servingThanks-giving meals to the needy.

John Anderson’s grandmother is fond of store-bought piesCHouse plants do more than just brighten up a room with color and living energy. Along with being pleasing to the eyes, they bring real health benefits to your body. Not only do complaints about headaches, stress, and colds fall when indoor plants are present, but also they can help to keep the air clean.A study in America found that common house plants could improve air quality. It was reported that house plants were able to remove about 87 percent of air toxins (有毒物质) in 24 hours.House plants make people feel calmer and more optimistic, says Bruno Cortis, a professor from University of Chicago. Interestingly, he says that studies have shown that hospital patientswho face a window with a garden view recovered more quickly than those who had to look at a wall.According to the study of an agriculture university in Norway, indoor plants can reduce fatigue (疲劳), coughs, sore throats and other cold-related illnesses by more than 30 percent, by increasing humidity (湿度) levels and decreasing dust.More and more companies and factories are beginning to catch on that adding plants indoorshealth and morale (士气). According to one study published in does wonders for employees’　Rehabilitation Literature, a design company placed plants in its office so that no employees would be more than 45 feet from greenery. The company administrators said they noticed more creativity and increased productivity in employees.Of course, some plants are poisonous and should be handled with care or not at all if you have small children.

What would be the best title for the passage?A. Benefits of house plantsB. Studies on house plantsC. Offices and house plantsD. Illnesses and house plantsDAll across the United States, honeybees are flying away from their hives (蜂房) and dying.Empty hives are causing a lot of worry about some important food crops.Bees give us a lot more than delicious honey. They enable plants to produce the fruits andnuts we enjoy by carrying pollen (花粉) from one plant or flower to the next. The wind pollinates(授粉) oats, corn, and wheat, but many other plants (like apple and cherry trees ) depend oninsects, bats, and birds.Bees live in groups of about 40,000 indi viduals called colonies. “The colony is what we call asuper-organism,” says Dr. Jeff Pettis of the Bee Research Laboratory at the U.S. AgriculturalResearch Service. “When a lot of bees die, the whole colony is at risk.” Researchers like him government and university labs all over the country are trying to figure out why so many beecolonies are dying.However, Pettis explains, bees are hard to study. Most die away from the hive, so researchersdon’t have dead bodies to examine. And when researchers return to a hive after two weeks, abouthalf the bees they studied on their first visit will be dead, replaced by new ones in the natural lifecycle of bees. Besides, these busy insects fly up to two miles away from their hive in search ofpollen and nectar (花蜜) from flowers. So when bees pick up diseases or get exposed to poisons intheir environment, it is hard to know exactly where that happened.But researchers do have some ideas about what could be affecting bees’ health. They could b sick from poisons widely used to kill insects, or they might not be getting enough good food tostay strong. Also, tiny insects called mites (小蜘蛛) feed on bees. “Any or all of these things couldbe weakening the honey bees,” Pettis explains, “and then a virus orbacteria (细菌) could be doing the killing.”　47.

While studying bees, researchers have the following difficulties EXCEPT ______.A. most bees die in places far away from their hiveB. bees have a natural life cycle which is too quickC. bees leave their homes too often in search of foodD. bees travel long distances looking for pollen and food50.
