He answered advertisements until he could not afford to buy any more stamps. Boris grew annoyed, then depressed, then a little hardened. Still he went on trying and still he failed. He began to think that he had no future at all.‎ ‎“Why don’ t you start your own business？” one of his uncles told him. “The world is a moneylocker. You’ d better find a way of opening it.”‎ ‎“But what can I do？”‎ ‎“Get out and have a look round,” advised his uncle in a vague sort of way. “See what people want; then give it to them, and they will pay for it.”‎ Boris began to cycle around the town and found a suitable piece of a waste ground in the end. Then he set up his business as a cycle repairer. He worked hard, made friends with his customers and gradually managed to build up his goodwill and profit. A few months later, he found that he had more work than he could deal with by himself. He found a number of empty shops but they were all no good: in the wrong position, too expensive or with some other snags (障碍). But at long last, he managed to find an empty shop on a new estate where there were plenty of customers but no competition.‎ Boris and his assistant taught themselves how to repair scooters and motorcycles.

Spending has increased by 40 percent in the past two years.‎ Go online, and you can buy a Robin Hood costume for your dog, or a Wonder Woman dog costume, or a cow costume. The costumes come in various sizes. Purchase a large one for your Mastiff or a small one for your Chihuahua. They cost as little as ＄7.80 or as much as ＄300. In Hollywood, pet costumes for movie characters and famous people are popular. Some dogs are dressed as Edward Scissorhands or Kim Kardashian, reported “Entertainment Weekly”. In New York, Jimmy Kimmel, the latenight television host, held a dog costume show on his show. Cat owners can also participate in the fun.‎ Why are Americans spending so much on their pets? “Time” magazine reports that “pets have their status (地位) today，” and “more than ‎9 in 10 owners consider their pets to be members of their family.” Many people have strong emotional ties with their dogs and cats.‎ Zoher Kapu, who works for eBay, the online marketplace, told “the Chicago Tribune” that eBay had 1.5 million pet costumes for sale on Oct. 21 out of 800 million items listed. There were 159 million active customers in 200 countries.‎ In Britain, “The Telegraph” newspaper noted that pet owners spend D|S1.5 billion in 2015 on nonfood items for their pets.

Americans spend more money on costumes than food for their pets B. the Halloween pet costume trend is spreading globally C. people in America like buying costumes for their pets online D. pets owners in America are fond of dressing up their pets D Road traffic crashes kill 1.25 million people each year worldwide. The statistics are part of the “Global Status Report on Road Safety ‎2015”‎. The report surveyed 180 countries, and it shows the number of annual deaths from traffic crashes is stabilizing (稳定). And that is good news as the number of motor vehicles grows worldwide. But the data also show that road crashes are the No.1 ‎ cause of death among young people aged 15 to 29. Young adults around the world are the worst driving risks. Even in the U.S.‎, drivers aged 15 to 24 account for about 30 percent of all drivingrelated accidents. But the World Health Organization (WHO) says they are preventable.‎ The WHO report also finds a big gap in road safety and deaths between poor and rich countries. Poor countries have only 54 percent of the world’s vehicles. But those countries have some of the worst safety statistics in the report. “Africa has only two percent of the world’s vehicles, but has the highest death rate on the road，” says Etienne Krug, the head of the WHO Department of Noncommunicable Diseases. Sweden, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom are leaders in preventing traffic deaths.‎ Stronger road safety laws and stricter vehicle safety requirements in developing countries would prevent many accidents. Laws can quickly influence driving behavior. In only three years, 17 countries became safer by putting tougher road safety laws into effect. Some of those laws include banning drunk driving, requiring cyclists and motorcycle drivers to wear helmets and making safety belts mandatory (强制性的) in all vehicles. Good injury care after a crash can cut the number of deaths from road injuries in half. Of course, there are also many other ways to make roads safer.‎ ‎32. The underlined word “they” in Paragraph 1 probably refers to ________.‎ A. motor vehicles B. the statistics C. traffic crashes D. young drivers ‎33. What can be inferred from Paragraph 2?‎ A. People in developed countries are very skilled at driving.‎ B. Africa has to take some measures to prevent traffic deaths.‎ C. The Netherlands has done the best in avoiding traffic accidents.‎ D. Poor countries need to buy fewer cars to reduce traffic accidents.‎ ‎34. What is most likely to be talked about in the paragraph following the text?‎ A. More ways to make roads safer.‎ B. Suggestions on good injury care.‎ C. The number of deaths from accidents.‎ D. Other road safety laws in poor countries.‎ ‎35. The text is mainly about ________.‎ A. the danger of driving alone B. the No.1 killer among the youth C. the ways to avoid road accidents D. the importance of helmets in driving cars 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项 Music is a major part of our lives, 36 , from car rides home，to fierce workouts in the gym, or even the movies and TV shows we watch.

D考查推理判断。文章开头以自问自答的方式向人们发出号召，让人们参与到志愿活动中，然后在下文详细介绍了志愿者工作的地点、时间、任务、要求等，由此可知文章主要目的是宣传这项工作，故答案选D。‎ ‎22. A考查词义猜测。在文章开头作者提出问题：你希望通过你的工作而使别人的生活有所改变吗？然后鼓励人们加入进来，由此判断加入进来后就会实现自己的愿望，即通过自己的工作让别人的生活更加有意义，故答案选A。此题易误选答案为D，make it 意思是“成功地做到或得到”因为开头作者只是问读者是否想获得工作中的满足感，而没有提出这是一份工作招聘信息，所以D选项错误。‎ ‎23. D考查细节理解。根据文章倒数第二段内容:But your primary concern is to let them know they are valued 可知志愿者们除了帮助保护智障患者的安全外，最重要的任务就是让那些被帮助的人感到自身的价值和重要性，故答案选D。‎ ‎24. B 考查细节理解。根据文章末段的小标题Skill and Experience Required.和末段中 Previous care-related experience will be a great advantage for you. 可知有先前类似经验的人在申请这项工作时会优先得到录用，故答案选B。‎ B篇 语篇解读：主人公Boris毕业后，在寻找工作的过程中屡屡受挫，失望之至。在叔叔的建议下，他从修理自行车开始，逐渐走向了成功。‎ ‎25. 选B　标题归纳题。纵观全文可以看出，文章讲述的是主人公求职屡遭拒绝，最后经过调整思路赚得第一桶金，然后把自己的生意越做越大，从而打开了世界这把锁钱的锁的故事。由此可知，B项最能概括全文。‎ ‎26. 选C　细节理解题。由倒数第二段的“Then he set up his business as a cycle repairer.”可知答案。‎ ‎27. 选D　推理判断题。由倒数第二段的“But at long last, he managed to find an empty shop on a new estate where there were plenty of customers but no competition.”可以看出，那里顾客较多，没有竞争，也就是说那里机会好，所以选D。‎ C篇 语篇解读：在美国万圣节期间，15%的美国人会给他们的宠物购买戏装。“万圣节宠物戏装秀”的风尚已经席卷全球。‎ ‎28. 选C　写作手法题。读过文章后可知，作者在每一段都用了数据来说明万圣节期间人们花费大量的钱来为自己的宠物购买戏服。‎ ‎29. 选D　段落大意题。根据第三段内容可知，在网上你可以为你的狗狗买到一件罗宾汉戏装，或者一件神奇女侠的狗狗戏装，亦或是一件奶牛服。宠物服装尺寸多样，价格也高低不等。在好莱坞，电影人物和名人的宠物戏装很受欢迎。故本段主要介绍的是美国的各种各样的宠物戏服。‎ ‎30. 选A　细节理解题。根据第四段首句问题“Why are Americans spending so much on their pets? 以及回答 ‎“more than ‎9 in ... their dogs and cats.”可知，超过90%的主人把宠物看做是自己的家庭成员。很多人都和 他们的狗和猫有着强烈的情感，也就是说美国宠物拥有者非常爱他们的宠物。‎ ‎31. 选B　推理判断题。根据第五段“There were 159 million active customers in 200 countries.”可知，在万圣节前夕，eBay网上有来自200个国家的1亿5千9百万顾客在给自己的宠物挑选戏装。由此可推知，“万圣节宠物秀”已经席卷全球。‎ D篇 语篇解读：本文为议论文。文章运用大量事实论述了道路交通事故是造成年轻人死亡的头号杀手。‎ ‎32. 选C　指代关系题。第一段讲述了道路交通事故是造成年轻人死亡的最主要原因，之后WHO称这可以避免。所以，they在文中指代traffic crashes。‎ ‎33. 选B　推理判断题。由第二段可知，非洲仅占有世界上2%的机动车辆，但因为道路交通事故而造成的伤亡数却是世界之最。由此可推知，非洲应该采取措施来应对这个问题。‎ ‎34. 选A　推理判断题。最后一段最后一句话告诉我们还有别的方法也可以减少交通事故造成的死亡，让道路变得更加安全。因此接下来文章很可能要谈减少交通事故造成的死亡的其他方法。‎ ‎35. 选B　主旨大意题。第一段告诉我们道路交通事故是造成年轻人死亡的头号杀手，之后提供了大量事实论证，最后给出了一些减少此类事故的建议。故选B。‎
