They have decided to do something to stop it.‎ As online shopping has become more and more popular, some shop owners have 46 that although their shops look busy, they aren’t making much money. This is because customers are 47 to save money by buying online but are worried about choosing the wrong size or colour. So they go to stores to try on clothes before going home to 48 them from a website.‎ But now stores in Australia have come up with an idea to stop this. They are asking customers to pay a ‘trying on’ fee. Winter sportswear shops have introduced charges (收费) of up to $50 to try on boots or other ski wear. This charge is returned if customers come back to buy the 49 within seven days.‎ It isn’t just ski wear; some bridal (新娘的) shops have also introduced charges. Martha Jones, owner of Wedded Bliss, a bridal shop in Melbourne, explains, “We get a lot of people who are not here to buy dresses 50 . Either they try on in-store and then shop online, or they are girls who are not even getting married; they just want to see what they look like in different wedding dresses. Fitting a woman for her wedding dress is a specialist skill that we take very 51_, and we put in time and 52__ to make sure the dress is exactly right.” The fee has been successful: ‘We’ve had fewer time-wasters,’ explains Jones, ‘which means we have been able to give our real customers an even better service.’‎ Would you pay to try on clothes? Do you think it is 53__ to charge brides to try on dresses? Let us know in the comments section below.‎ Ⅳ.

That amount of snow was unusual for the island but I didn’t know that so I wasn’t worried. It didn’t look much thicker than snow I’d seen in Scotland. I was going to visit my friend, Chris, and he’d warned me it would be very cold and snowy. In fact I was feeling too warm as I had too many clothes on.‎ ‎ Chris met me in his car and we were quite near his house, which was only five kilometers from the airport, when we got stuck in the snow. So we phoned the road rescue services and a man and a truck arrived. He said we were the fifth car he’d pulled out of the snow that evening. He started the engine and he’d almost pulled us out ... Only to find that the truck had brought a whole pile of snow down from the sides of the road onto both vehicles and the truck was stuck too. He phoned to get an even larger truck to come and rescue us all. In the end it did !‎ ‎ Chris turned off the engine and we sat in the car to wait for the second truck to pull us out. I suggested he might keep the engine running so we could stay warm. He pointed out that the gas gauge was showing nearly empty and he was worried that we still had to go to his house.

Old clothes and rags have been recycled for a long time. So have papers, bottles, and scrap metal. The 75 of the bottle collector, “Bottles. Bottle-O” used to be heard regularly in our streets. Until the 1960s, most people paid a deposit (押金) when they bought a bottle of drink and got their money back when they 76__ the bottle. However, as more and more of our containers became non-returnable and more and more of our products were made to be thrown away, 77 _of our waste was ‎ recycled.‎ ‎ Now people are starting to realize the problems caused by so much waste. Recycling is increasing. When we recycle waste, we reuse it 78__ new products can be made from it.‎ ‎ Most cities now collect paper and cardboard, glass, and some plastic bottles for recycling, and, in some areas, steel cans are collected. Aluminium (铝) cans are already collected by service clubs, schools, sports teams and charities. 79__, we can recycle food scraps (残羹剩饭) and garden waste as compost (堆肥).‎ Even though 70-80% of our household trash can be recycled, our recycling system is not very good. The problem seems to be the following:‎ l Many people don’t put trash out to be collected for recycling.‎ l Not many products that people want to buy are 80__ in recycled material.

But now one computer can fit on the edge of a coin. The Michigan Micro Mote, also called M^3, is the s_____81____ computer in the world.‎ Teachers and students at the University of Michigan have been working on the M^3 for over a decade. Although it is t____82_____, the M^3 can take pictures, read temperatures and record things.Researchers hope to use the M^3 in hospitals and factories. The computer can be injected(注入) into the body and record information of the p_____83____. The oil industry is also interested in sending the M^3 into oil wells to see how much oil is left.‎ ‎ B_____84____, with the M^3, people don’t need to worry about forgetting to take ‎ anything with them.

Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答问题) (12分)‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ As soon as people realize that my brother Michael, my sister Tiffany and I were born on the same day, that we’re triplets, they ask the strangest questions. But no, we can’t read each other’s minds. We don’t have the same dreams. And I can promise you that we don’t always get along. These are the things I get asked most often when people meet me for the first time.‎ ‎ Although there are lots of good things about being a triplet, one thing I really don’t like is when people think of us as one person - ‘MichaelDesireeTiffany’ instead of ‘Michael’ and ‘Desiree’ and ‘Tiffany’. I don’t like it when people think we should act or think the same just because we were born at the same time, like when people ask me why I’m so shy while Michael and Tiffany are so much louder. And I definitely don’t like it when people don’t understand that we have individual (个人的) choices of what to do in our spare time.‎ ‎ Growing up, Tiffany, Michael and I shared almost everything. It was funny how the exact moment I wanted to use the bike was the same time that Tiffany felt like going for a ride. When the three of us learned to drive at the same time, we very often fought over who got to practise with the car.‎ ‎ My dad came up with a brilliant plan called ‘turns’. One Sunday a month, each of us would have a chance to spend three hours with our dad, alone, and do whatever we wanted. For three hours every month each of us was allowed to feel like he/she was an only child. This helped me to see that being a triplet is a part of me, but it isn’t the only part of me. I don’t just want to be thought of as ‘Desiree, the girl who’s a triplet’. I want to be thought of as an individual.‎ 88. Is Desiree the only girl of the triplets?‎ ‎89. What question might people ask the triplets when they first meet them? ‎ Give one example.‎ 90. How did they decide who practised with the car first?‎ 90. How often could each of the triplets have the“alone time”with their father?‎ 91. In what ways are the triplets different? (List 2)‎ ‎ They have different __________ and __________.‎ ‎93．What are the bad things about being a triplet?‎ ‎94. Write at least 60 words about the topic “My View on Friends”. (以“朋友之我见”为题写一篇不少于60个词的短文，短文开头已给出，标点符号不占格。)‎ ‎（注意：短文中不得出现考生的姓名、校名及其他相关信息，否则不予评分。）‎ The following questions can be included.(短文可以包含下列问题的内容)：‎ l What’s your view on friends?‎ l How are the friends around you?‎ l What do you usually do with your friends? (Give at least two examples)‎ l How do you keep friendship with your friends? And why?‎ ‎ You can begin like this: In my opinion, friends… ‎ ‎ ‎ 参考答案 ‎26--30 DBDCD 31--35 DABAC 36--40 CDCBA 41--45 CCABA ‎46--53 CAEB DEAC 54. their 55. sixties 56.harder 57. wounded 58.
