Charles ‎ and Ray Eames chose to design for their own situation——a working couple that needed a house and space for working, but had no children at home. The result was Case Study House No. 8 in Pacific Palisades, Calif, where the Eameses made their home.‎ The family has stayed in the house and it is home to the Eames Office, which promotes the continuation of both Charles’s and Ray’s ideas. The outside of the house and studio has been open to self-guided tours for years. Not so the inside, which is filled with Eames-designed artwork and furniture.‎ Reservations: Reservations are required.

Referring to ‎ a naughty student, he remarked, with a tone of gloomy resignation, “People don’t change.” I knew the kid well He was what one would call a “juvenile delinquent (不良少年)”. But if schooling held no promise of making positive changes in kids, what was the point of teaching?‎ My own son, Alyosha, growing up, was athletic, energetic, and occasionally hard to handle. But he never showed the least interest in tools, or working with his hands in any way. The result was that he couldn’t tell a screwdriver from a paintbrush. I recall one day, as I fussed under the car, calling out to him to bring me an adjustable wrench (活动扳手). He fetched a pair of pliers (钳子). “No,” I pleaded while trying to hold an oily car part in place. “Pliers.” He went back into the garage and returned with a bar. “No, no,” I corrected him. “The adjustable wrench! For loosening a nut.” To which, in his own defence, he exclaimed, “Well, I don’t know!”‎ Years passed. And then, one day, well into his 20s, he told me he had decided on a technical school: machinery technology. I nodded approvingly, but already knew that it was a challenging field, full of moving parts, tools, and dreaded math.‎ During his period in Coast Guard technical school I thought about him daily, wondering what the outcome would be. I had prepared myself for the phone call telling me that it was just too much and he was being sent to sea as a deckhand.‎ It didn’t happen. The phone did ring, but it was Alyosha asking me to fly to Virginia to attend his graduation and pin his new rank on his collar. Prouder I couldn’t have been.‎ As I stood before my son, Alyosha, standing at attention and staring dead ahead, glanced at me. “You want me to help you, Dad?” he said “Always,” I answered, “but not this time.”‎ Yeah, people do change. And, in my experience, it’s usually something to see.‎ ‎24. What’s the anther’s attitude towards the teacher’s remark?‎ A. He approves of it. B. He argues against it.‎ C. He is interested in it. D. He is uncertain about it.‎ ‎25.

Why was the anther ready to get the phone call from his son?‎ A. He missed his son very much.‎ B. He had an appointment with his son.‎ C. He expected good news about his son.‎ D. He thought his son would quit school.‎ C The traditional British pub is part of the scenery of British life. At a recent count, there are around 50000 of them in the UK, some of which date back to as far as the 5th and 6th centuries The oldest — Ye Olde Fighting Cocks in St.Albans — was established in 795.‎ Because of their abundance, the names pubs take were designed to be memorable — but more than that, they were designed to be visual. Outside any traditional pub worthy of its title, you’ll find a hanging signboard with a unique illustration (插图) that represents the name of the business. The practice is so well estalished that even new pubs copy it. But why do they exist at all?‎ The first British pub signs were created in the 12th century and were simple representations of beer containers and other brewing-related equipment used to inform passersby that the establishments sold beer. This was Britain in the dark ages, when education was in short supply. Since most of the population were unable to read, pub signs were used to inform would-be customers that they could find a drink inside.‎ The earliest uses of pub names would reference the sign directly. People would arrange to meet “at the sign of the Eagle and Child” rather than “at the Eagle and Child.”‎ Today the tradition remains unchanged largely out of respect for the past, but many pub signs do have some functionality. Remote country pubs often use signboards to point the way to their doors from more trafficked (可贩卖的) paths. It’s a part of British culture that’s rapidly disappearing — more than 20,000 pubs have closed since 1980 — but for now there are still more than enough around that you can take a moment to appreciate the history and symbolism behind a pubes sign the next time you see one.‎ ‎28. What is special about British pub signs?‎ A. They copy famous art. B. They show British life.‎ C. They have unique pictures. D. They include the history of the pub.‎ ‎29. The first British pub signs were mainly used to .‎ A. inspire passersby B. inform passersby C. educate passersby D. entertain passersby ‎30. Modem British pub signs are different from the earliest ones in .‎ A. size B. style C. material D. purpose ‎31. What is the text mainly about?‎ A. The history of British pubs.‎ B. The importance of British pub signs.‎ C. Why British pubs have illustrated signs.‎ D. Why British pubs are unpopular nowadays.‎ D For a land where snow is hardly a winter rarity, it will come as little surprise that Scotland has several words for the cold white thing that falls from skies.‎ But few might expect the list to amount to a grand total of 421 separate terms designed to describe everything from small flakes (雪片) of wind-driven snow (“spitters”) to a figure in a snowstorm (“snaw-ghast”). ‎ The list, which shows that the Scottish comfortably out-compete the 100 or so words used by the Inuits for snow, is part of a project to bring together the roots of every Scots word into a thesaurus (a book that contains lists of words that have similar meanings).‎ The online Scots Historicl Thesaurus draws on forgotten words from outdated dialects (方言) to terms still used across Scotland today to attempt to record the full range of language used to describe daily life.‎ Initial research at the University of Glasgow has focused on two areas close to Scottish hearts — the weather and sport.‎ Dr Susan Rennie, a Scots specialist at the university, said: “Weather has been a vital part of people’s lives in Scotland for centuries. The number and variety of words in the language show how important it was for our ancestors to communicate about the weather, which could so easily affect their lives.”‎ Researthers found that alongside many words for cloud and mist, Scots have excelled down the ages at dreaming up ways to describe the details of types of snow and the way in which it falls.‎ Someone interested in the weather would mix up “flindrikin” (a slight snow shower) with a “bin-drift”, used to describe thick drifting (堆积) snow. The white thing can also “frog” (start to fall), “feefle” (twist around a comer) or “feuchter” (fall in sight flakes).‎ ‎32. Which of the following comes as a surprise?‎ A. There’s a lot of snow in Scotland.‎ B. There’re many dialects in Scotland.‎ C. Scotland has several words for snow.‎ D. There’re over 400 Scottish words for snow.‎ ‎33. What’s the purpose of the online Scots Historical Theasaurus?‎ A. To record the daily language used by Scots.‎ B. To protect endangered languages in Scotland.‎ C. To carry out research into the climate in Scotland.‎ D. To let foreigners have a better idea of Scots culture.‎ ‎34. Dr Suan Rennie gave an explanation of .‎ A. how they made the world list B. how Scots communicate with each other ‎ C. why Scots like talking about the weather and sport ‎ D. why they did research on the vocabulary of the weather ‎35. Which word describes the process of beginning to snow?‎ A. Feefle B. Frog C. Blin-drift D. Snaw-ghast 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分） ‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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。‎ As a rule, people want to belong to a popular group. A “sense of belong” is a basic social need, and one may feel more pride and security by being part of the popular group. 36 For example, teenagers tend to purchase expensive sneakers of cloths just because their friends buy ‎ those things. This is a typical example of “the bandwagon effect (从众效应).”‎ ‎ 37 A bandwagon was a vehicle pulled by horses or oxen. It was used to cany a political candidate of the crowd at a parade (游行). There was an expection that people would easily remenber and eventually vote for the candidate riding on the bandwagon. But the result surprised everyone. 38 So the popularity of a candidate could be judged by the number of people who jumped on his wagon. Besides that, there was another interesting aspect to his odd phenomenon. 39 They must have felt better following the choice of the majority at the parade. Over time, the term “bandwagon” has become an expression to describe this tendency.‎ ‎ 40 For example, you may be familiar with words like this: “All teens are in love with this new MP3 player. Magic Eko! Now it’s your turn to find out why!” people are led to believe that they don’t belong to a popular group unless they buy Magic Eko. Clearly, the bandwagon effect is an important commerical way to encourage customers to buy new products.‎ A. The term originated in America more than a hundred years ago.‎ B. The bandwagon effect occurs when people believe in something.‎ C. The crowd would prefer to join the wagon loaded with more people.‎ D. People sometimes copy the way others behave in order to enjoy such feelings.‎ E. Today, the bandwagon effect is most commonly seen in the advertising industry.‎ F. It happened that many people would actually “jump” onto their favorite candidate’s bandwagon.‎ G. The increasing popularity of a group encourages more people to “get on the bandwagon” too.‎ 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ However objective we believe ourselves to be, most of us do not judge a product only on the basis of its advantages, We don’t only 41 its quality, value or style before making a decision. 42 , we are easily influenced by the people around us.‎ There is nothing 43 with this.

Is it because they are so similar with 48 to ‎ how much money they 49 and what television ads they watch that they 50 arrive at the same decision? Or do they 51 one another, perhaps out of envy or perhaps because they have 52 information about the products?‎ Research in Finland recently found good 53 that neighbours have a big influence on buying 54 . When one of a person’s ten nearest neighbours bought a car, the 55 that that person would buy a car of the 56 brand during the next week and a half rose by 86 percent. The researchers argued that it was not just a matter of envy. 57 cars seemed to attract neighbours even more. This 58 that people were not trying to keep up with their neighbours, they were eager to 59 them. Since second-hand cars are less reliable, people are more likely to consider others’ 60 before buying.‎ ‎41. A. recognize B. consider C. appreciate D. introduce ‎42. A. Otherwise B. However C.
