Henry was a pen name used by an American writer of short stories. His real name was William Sydney Porter. He was born in North Carolina in 1862. As a young boy he livedan exciting life. He did not go to school for very long, but he managed to teach himself everything he needed to know. When he was about 20 years old, O. Henry went to Texas, where he tried different jobs. He first worked on a newspaper, and then had a job in a bank, when some money went missing from the bank. O. Henry was believed to have stolen it. Because of that, he was sent to prison. During the three years in prison, he learned to write short stories. After he got out of prison, he went to New York and continued writing. He wrote mostly about New York and the life of the poor there. People liked his stories, because simple as the tales were, they would finish with a sudden change at the end, to the reader's surprise.25.In which order did O. Henry do the following things?a. Lived in New York.b. Worked in a bank.c. Traveled to Texas.d. Was put in prison.e. Had a newspaper Job.f. Learned to write stories.A.e. c. f. b. d. aB.c. e. b. d. f. aC.e. b. d. c. a. f.D.c. b. e. d. a f.26.People enjoyed reading O. Henry's stories because _____.A.they had surprise endingsB.they were easy to understandC.they showed his love for the poorD.they were about New York City27.O. Henry went to prison because _____.A.people thought he had stolen money from the newspaperB.he broke the law by not using his own nameC.he wanted to write stories about prisonersD.people thought he had taken money that was not hisCIn modern society there is a great deal of argument about competition. Some value it highly, believing that it is responsible for social progress and prosperity. Others say that competition is bad, for it sets one person against another and it leads to unfriendly relationship between people.I have taught many children who held the belief that their self-worth relied on how well they performed at tennis and other skills. For them, playing well and winning are often life-and-death affairs. In their single-minded pursuit (追求) of success, the development of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten.However, while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed, others take an opposite attitude. In a culture which values only the winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players, they strongly blame competition. Among the most vocal are youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressures from their parents or society.Teaching these young people, I often observe in them a desire to fail. They seem to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success. By not trying, they always have an excuse: “I may have lost, but it doesn’t matter because I really didn’t try.” What is not usually admitted by them is the belief that if they had really tried and lost, that would mean a lot. Such a loss would be a measure of their worth.Clearly, this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove themselves. Both are based on the mistaken belief that one’s self-respect relies on how well one performs in comparison with others. Both are afraid of not being valued. Only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to dissolve (缓解) can we discover a new meaning in competition.28 The underlined phrase “the most vocal” in Paragraph 3 refers to those who ______.A.are against competition most strongly.B.are fond of competition very much.C.are satisfied with competition.D.are interested in competition29 According to the passage, why do some people support competition?A.Because they think friendly relationship needs it.B.Because they think social progress and prosperity need it.C.Because they think it can make us become cleverer.D.Because they think it can deal with many personal problems.30 We can learn from the passage that __________.A.all the people have the same opinion about competitionB.Failure can make most people feel downC.Both the true competitors a nd those with a desire to fail believe one’s worth lies in his performance compared with otherspetition can make every competitor successful31 The passage manly talks about different opinions about ________.petitionB.successC.failureD.friendshipDThe year before the first modern Olympic Games,Greece invited China to send a team.But the Qing government(政府)didn't send any athletes to the Games.China did not take part in the Olympics until the 10th Games,held in Los Angeles in 1932.There,Liu Changchun took part in the men's 100metre and 200metre races.He did not win any medals.China won her first gold medal at the 23rd Olympics in Los Angeles in 1984,when Xu Haifeng won the men's free shooting event.China came in fourth with 15gold medals in all. At the 2000Olympics in Sydney,Australia,China won 28gold medals,entering the top three of the medal chart for the first time.September 22nd,2000was named China Day because China won six gold,three silver and one bronze medals that day.In 2004,the 28th Olympic Games were held in Athens,Greece.Two hundred and two countries took part in the Games.China got the second place with thirty-two gold,seventeen silver and fourteen bronze medals.We all know that in 2008,the Olympic Games were held in Beijing,where China won the first place.32 .When was China first invited to the Olympics? ______ .A.In Tang Dynasty(朝代).B.In Song Dynasty.C.In Ming Dynasty.D.In Qing Dynasty.33.Which Olympics did China take part in? ______A.The tenth Olympics.B.The eighth Olympics.C.The fifth Olympics.D.The first Olympics.34.How many medals did China win at the 28th Olympics? ______A.Thirty-two.B.Seventeen.C.Fourteen.D.Sixty-three.35.In 2008 China hosted ______ Olympic Games.A.the 28th WinterB.the 28th SummerC.the 29th WinterD.the 29th Summer.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项,有两项为多余选项。

AAt the age of ten I could not figure out what this Elvis Presley guy had that the rest of us boys did not have．I mean，he had a head，two arms and two legs，just like the rest of us．About nine o’clock on Saturday morning I decided to ask Eugene Correthers，one of the older boys，what it was that made this Elvis guy so special．He told me that it was Elvis’ wavy hair and the way he moved his body．About half an hour later all the boys in the orphanage（孤儿院）were called to the main dining-room and told we were all going to downtown Jacksonville，Florida to get a new pair of Buster Brown shoes and a haircut．That is when I got this big idea，which hit me like a ton of bricks. If the Elvis hair cut was the big secret，then that’s what I was going to get．All the way to town I told everybody, including the matron（女管家）from the orphanage who was taking us to town，that I was going to look just like Elvis Presley and that I would learn to move around just like he did and that I would be rich and famous one day, just like him．When I got my new Buster Brown shoes, I could hardly wait for my new hair cut and now that I had my new Busier Brown shoes I would be very happy to go back to the orphanage and practice being like Elvis.We finally arrived at the big barber shop，where they cut our hair for free because we were orphans（孤儿）．I looked at the barber and said，“I want an Elvis hair cut. Can you make my hair like Elvis？”I asked him，with a big smile on my face．“Let's just see what we can do for you，little man，”he said．I was so happy when he started to cut my hair．Just as he started to cut my hair, the matron signed for him to come over to where she was standing．She whispered something into his ear and then he shook his head，like he was tellingher“No”．Then he told me they were not allowed to give us Elvis hair cuts．Then I saw my hair falling onto the floor．21．In the author’s eyes，Elvis Presley was_________．A．disgusting B．admirable C．ambitious D．dynamic22．From the passage，we can know that______________．A．Buster Brown was more appealing than Elvis PresleyB．An Elvis hair cut cost the orphans a lot of moneyC．The matron did not want the boy to have an Elvis hair cutD．The barber was unwilling to give the boy an Elvis hair cut23．We can learn from the underlined sentence that the boy was______．A．excited to have an Elvis hair cut B．worried to think about the secretC．anxious to remove the ton of bricks D．careful to seize the chance24．How would the boy probably feel when he walked out of the barber shop？A．Delighted． B．Guilty． C．Self-satisfied．D．Depressed．BInstagram is a fast，beautiful and fun way to share your life with friends and family．Take a picture or video，choose a filter to transform its look and feel, and then post to Instagram—it's that easy．You can even share to Facebook, Twitter and more．It’s a new way to see the world．So many photos of food are contained on Instagram—now a pop-up diner in London is taking advantage of this new trend by letting people settle the bill for their meals simply by uploading photos of their dishes to social networks．I always thought people’s taking pictures of their food was kind of silly, but at this ne w pop-up restaurant in the UK，I’d probably do it too．“The Picture House”is the world’s first pay-by-photo restaurant—you order， click a photo of the food，share on Instagram and eat for free!The restaurant belongs to frozen food giant（巨人）Birds Eye，who came up with the idea to cash in on people’s addiction with photographing food and sharing the pictures online. They conducted a survey and found out that more than half of the British population regularly took pictures of their meals．So they realized it was a better way to advertise their new dining range．The pop-up diner was open in Soho，London for three days in May，and is now moving to other major UK cities．They serve two-course meals that customers don’t have to pay for, if they photo and lnstagram it．The restaurant is a part of Birds Eye’s“Food for Life”campaign，a new marketing project that aims at changing the way people look at frozen food．“Taking photos of food enables people to show off and to share their mealtime moments—from the everyday to the special，”said marketing director Margaret Jobling．The reaction to The Picture House has been great so far. And the pay-by-picture concept has proven to be an effective way．Alternative payment methods are actually gaining popularity among a lot of businesses．Last year in a cafe in Germany customers pay by how much time they spend there，not by what they eat．25．Instagram probably is______．A．a restaurant free of charge B．a campaign of“Food for Life’’C．a program used to share photos D．a new marketing project26．What’s the author’s attitude to this new trend？A．Confused B．UnconcernedC．Opposed D．Interested27．“The Picture House”encourages sharing photos of its food to_____．A．raise the price of frozen food B．attract more customersC．create a new social media trend D．reward the regular customers28．Which of the following can serve as the best title for the passage？A．Pay by Picture B．The Pop-up Diner C．No Need to Pay D．Food for LifeCChina’s famous scientist, the Cloth Shoes Academ ician Li Xiaowen passed away on January 10th, 2015 in Beijing at the age of 67. Hundreds of thousands of netizens sang high praise forhim online, showing their respect to the leading authority in remote sensing field. Following Li Xiaowen’s last wish, his family held a simple funeral for him, while many admirers from all over the country came to the funeral for remembrance. Some national leaders including Premier Li Keqiang also sent a wreath.Li was a professor at Beijing Normal University and an academician of the Chinese Academy of Science. His research achievements have advanced the development of remote sensing science, and made China one of the leaders in this field. He also received several famous science prizes from China. He published 1,878 essays on his blog since All his students have thumbed up to Li for his contributions to the development of remote sensing. He was known to everyone in the remote sensing circle, but was impressive on netizens for a photo.In recent years, Professor Li’s quiet a nd self-effecing behavior was recognized through social media. In 2014, a photograph of Academician Li was taken by his student, in which he was attentively making a lecture with shabby clothes, grizzled（斑白的） hair and straggling beard, without socks, and wearing black cloth shoes. He looked like an old villager, rather than a famous scientist. The photo became popular on the Internet and earned him the title of the “Cloth Shoes Academician.” His simple plain image, kindness to all his students and dedication to his career are three important features on him.

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’ intension to purchase increased by 80 percent．When it comes to the best shopping streets in Pairs，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 for brand name shopping was on a few people with sales assistants’disproving attitude and don’t-touch-what-you-can’t afford displays．Now the rise of electronic commerce（e-commerce）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 full experience from the minute customers step through the door to the moment they leave. Another brand store seeks to be much more than a shop，but rather a destination．And scent is just one way to achieve this．Now a famous store uses complex man-made smell to make sure that the soft scent of baby powder floats through the kid department，and coconut（椰子）scent in the swimsuit section．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. 32．According to the passage，what is an increasingly powerful tool in the success of some brand store？A．Friendly assistant． B. Unique scents．C．Soft background music D．attractive window display．33．E-shops are mentioned in the passage to_____．A．show the advantages of brick-and-mortar storesB．urge shop assistants to change their attitudeC．push stores to use sights and soundsD．introduce the rise of e-commerce34．The underlined word“destination”in Paragraph 5 means_____．A．a platform that exhibits goodsB．a spot where travelers like to stayC. a place where customers love to goD．a target that a store expects to meet35．The main purpose of the passage is to________．A．compare and evaluate B．examine and assessC．argue and discuss D．inform and explain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。
