We lived in a nice little three-bedroom bungalow (平房) in Michigan. Mom and Dad worked so hard, yet always found the time to spend ‎ with us. The only place they could take five active children to was the drive-in (汽车影院) movies!‎ We always looked forward to going to the drive-in! Mom would fill a big bag with homemade popcorn. On the way there, Dad would make a special stop at the penny candy store, where we were all allowed to fill a little brown bag with all kinds of penny candy. We were so exited as we carried our treasures back to the car, knowing we couldn’t eat it until the cartoon began.‎ We would get there early, so that we could play on the playground, right under the big screen. As soon as it started to get dark, the screen lit up, and we would race back to the car to get our candy.‎ There were always two cartoons playing before the movie, like Felix the Cat, The Coyote, and Tom and Jerry. But what was just as exciting was the ticking clock advertisement for the refreshment stand, with dancing hot dogs, candy and ice cream. That came on right before the movie. It was all that five kids could hope for, and by then, stay awake for.‎ We would get home around 2 am, pretty late for us. Mom helped us drug ourselves and our pillows to our beds and dad carried in the little ones.‎ I was disappointed the day they closed the last drive-in in our town. It will always hold special memories for us—those days of penny candy.‎ ‎24. What could the author eat when he watched the cartoons and movies?‎ A. Hot dog B. Ice cream ‎ C. Hamburgers D. Popcorn and candy ‎25. What does the underlined phrase “our treasures” in the second paragraph refer to?‎ A. Mom and dad B. The penny candy ‎ C. Favorite cartoons D. Homemade popcorn ‎26.

He had a boring childhood.‎ B. He had four younger brothers.‎ C. He missed the driver-in very much.‎ D. He didn’t like watching the movies at all.‎ C This could be the perfect gift for the partner,who embarrasses you on the dance floor.Smart socks, which can teach to dance, may be the answer for anyone with two left feet.‎ The socks have been developed as a running tool to help runners improve their skills. Thanks to the socks, users can accurately record not only how far and fast they run but also how well. It means the user maximizes their performance, and reduces damage to body and prevents hurt. The hi-tech socks are made of special fibers that watch the movements of your feet. They look, feel and can be washed like normal clothes.‎ Sensors (传感器) record each movement and send it by an ankle transmitter (脚踝发射器) to a smart phone. Then a “virtual coach” application shows the information and can tell the user what they are doing wrong, and help to improve skill in any task with feet.‎ The socks should be useful to athletes and weekend joggers. “People think running is so easy ‎ and of course everybody can do it but not necessarily safely and well,” Dr Davide Vigano said. A recent study showed that between 60 and 80 percent of runners got hurt per year. This is pretty much more than any other human activity. Researchers say the technology can also be developed to teach people how to dance, play sports such as golf, or even to help to teach women to walk better in high heels.‎ Mr.Vigano said, “ People could all benefit from the idea.We have had interest from all sorts of sports, like skiing, football, cycling and golf. Anything where you have to use your feet can use it. It could even be put in high heels to help women walk in them safely. ”‎ Socks are just the start, and the technology could be used in gloves, hats and boots. The socks, anklet and software package, are expected to be sold for around￡120, which will go on sale in March.‎ ‎28. What does the underlined part “anyone with two left feet” refer to?‎ A. People who are disabled.‎ B. People who are interested in dancing.‎ C. People who are not good at dancing.‎ D. People who invented the socks.‎ ‎29. What's special about fibers that the socks are made of?‎ A. They feel much softer than normal clothes.‎ B. They can monitor the movement of feet.‎ C. They are expensive to produce.‎ D. They act as a smart phone for users.‎ ‎30. Which of the following is NOT mentioned about the socks?‎ A. They can improve the skill of running.‎ B. They can help women walk better in high heels.‎ C. They can teach people to dance well.‎ D. They can be worn for days without washing.‎ ‎31. According to Dr.Vigano, .‎ A. everyone can make good use of the smart socks B. users can run as fast as they like with the socks C. 60 to 80 percent of runners would like to buy the smart socks D. no runners will get hurt, thanks to the socks D One of the most popular comments I have heard about time is that we need to balance our time in order to live a more balanced life. We often feel that if we are focused and devoted, happy and positive, loving and generous, healthy and energetic, then we will be balanced people. And if the pie chart of our daily life has just the right ratios (比率) of work, life, family, health, and service, then our time will be balanced.‎ The problem with trying hard for balance is that most people’s understanding of this state is so different from what balance actually is! Balance is not about walking around with a bunch of positive qualities; it’s about walking on the tight rope between the poles within us and the circumstances outside of us. Strictly speaking, in order to achieve true balance, we should accept we may have some shortcomings. We should accept and love the most challenging parts of life because they offer gifts for full, real living.‎ Even though we measure time in a linear (线状的) way, time is and will always be asymmetrical (不均匀的). One moment is not like another, just like each day is different and each tide that rolls in is different from the previous one. This is why it is impossible to balance our time through a pie chart in a time management book. Exploring asymmetrical time allows us to move in line with an unbalanced time and thus regain our relative balance. If we stop measuring ourselves against the standards of linear time, we can accept ourselves more fully. New possibilities arise as we accept the uncertainty.‎ ‎32. Why does the author think it’s difficult to achieve balance in life?‎ A. people don’t know the true meaning of balance.‎ B. people may not have enough good qualities.‎ C. people cannot create their pie charts of daily life.‎ D. people fail to realize the qualities they really need.‎ ‎33. In the author’s opinion, what does a balanced life mean?‎ A. We should arrange our time wisely.‎ B. We should try to believe ourselves.‎ C. We should learn to improve ourselves and our lives.‎ D. We should accept the bad aspects of ourselves and life.‎ ‎34. What does the last paragraph mainly want to tell us?‎ A. Uncertainty can help build up confidence.‎ B. It is difficult for us to accept ourselves fully.‎ C. There are always uncertain things occurring in life.‎ D. New possibilities can help us achieve balance in life.‎ ‎35. What may be the best title for the text?‎ A. The true meaning of time B. Seeking relative balance C. Struggle for a balanced life D. Popular comments about time 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Coming to a university as an international student can be understandably exciting. 36 But there can be dark clouds on the horizon that can dampen(减少，抑制)the spirits of any brave adventures.‎ What can be a big stressor for international students is finding housing if you are not going to be living on campus. 37 You want to make a good and informed decision so that you can simply enjoy your stay rather than suffer through it because of a bad housing situation. One of the most important qualities of housing is proximity(接近,临近), or in layman's(外行人)terms, location!‎ ‎ 38 Read on for some helpful housing tips to make your international stay as pleasant as possible!‎ First of all, check out how close the options you are looking at from the campus where you will be studying. It is up to you if you want or need to be close enough to campus to keep it in walking distance.‎ ‎ 39 You want to be prepared for all emergency situations, and having easy access to public transportation is a smart choice. The next thing you need to check out is the location's proximity to places that you will need to visit often, like grocery stores and drug stores.‎ ‎ 40 But if you do the work ahead of time, you can have the best and safest experience possible when getting to your international destination.‎ A. It's difficult to have to consider all the things.‎ B. You are on your way to a new land and even grander adventures.‎ C. You’d better set about looking for accommodations where you’ll work.‎ D.
