The site is like Amazon.com, but for audio books. It includes thousands of recommendations and customer reviews that are extremely helpful. The site lets you listen to a free piece of each book so you can tell ahead what the narrator(讲述者)sounds like. No wonder that most people who listen to an audio book for the first time are immediately attracted.‎ This is the perfect opportunity to find out what so many people know about audio books.

Each of her objects had its place, but mine always hid somewhere. She even labeled everything. I always looked for everything. Over time, Kate got neater and I got messier. She would push my dirty clothing over, and I would lay my books on her tidy desk. We both got tired of each other. War broke out one evening. Kate came into the room. Soon, I heard her screaming. “Take your shoes away! Why under my bed!” Deafened, I saw my shoes flying at me. I jumped to my feet and started yelling. She yelled back louder. The room was filled with anger. We could not have stayed together for a single minute but for a phone call. Kate answered it. From her end of the conversation, I could tell right away her grandma was seriously ill. When she hung up, she quickly crawled（爬）under her covers, sobbing. Obviously, that was not something she should go through alone. All of a sudden, a warm feeling of sympathy rose up in my heart. Slowly, I collected the pencils, took back the books, made my bed, cleaned the socks and swept the floor, even on her side. I got so into my work that I even didn’t notice Kate had sat up. She was watching, her tears dried and her expression one of disbelief. Then, she reached out her hands to grasp mine. I looked up into her eyes.‎ ‎ She smiled at me, “Thanks.” Kate and I stayed roommates for the rest of the year. We didn’t always agree, but we learned the key to living together: giving in, cleaning up and holding on.‎ ‎5.What made Kate so angry one evening?‎ A．She couldn’t find her books.‎ B．She saw the author’s shoes beneath her bed. ‎ C．She got the news that her grandma was ill.‎ D．She heard the author shouting loud. ‎ ‎6.The author tidied up the room most probably because _______.‎ A．she was scared by Kate’s anger B．she hated herself for being so messy C．she was asked by Kate to do so D．she wanted to show her care ‎7. How is Paragraph 1 mainly developed?‎ A．By showing differences B．By analyzing causes C．By describing a process D．By following time order ‎8.What might be the best title for the story?‎ A．My Friend Kate B．Learning to Be Roommates ‎ C．How to Be Organized D．Hard Work Pays Off C Friendships can be difficult — because often people aren't as honest and open as they should be. Sometimes, people finally get hurt. Most problems with friendships come up because people are just too selfish to care about the things that their friends need. They care about their own needs much more, which makes it hard for friendships to work. However, being selfish is part of human nature. During a period of friendship people often just take care of themselves and their own needs, not those needs of other people. Even though being selfish is something that all humans are born with, it is something that everyone should be against.  The best thing to remember when you are a friend to anyone is that you need to ‎ treat your friends the same way that you'd like to be treated. This is wonderful advice for a friendship, because it is really the only way to make sure that you are giving your friends everything you would want to be given in a friendship. Whenever you have a question about how you should treat a friend, it is easy to find an answer simply by asking yourself what you would like your friend to do for you, if he or she was in your shoes.  Even if you're always thinking about how you'd like to be treated, and your friends are too, there are problems that come up from time to time in each friendship, and it is important to understand how to deal with these problems so that you can build stronger and healthier friendships. Problems like friends getting boyfriends or girlfriends and not spending enough time with their friends, or even friends finding new friends and leaving old friends behind are problems that will probably come up with one or more of your friendships. It is important to know how to deal with these friend problems so that you can keep your friends and make new ones. No one wants to have a broken friendship.  9.This passage mainly talks about ________.‎ A．the importance of friendship B．the advantages of friendship C．the disadvantages of friendship D．the problems of friendship ‎ ‎10.According to the writer, problems with friendship may appear when _____.‎ A. one is selfish ‎ B. one is honest C．one is open D．one is kind ‎11.According to the passage, the first and most important thing to be other people's friend is ________.‎ A．not to hurt your friends' feelings B．to give your friends whatever you have C．to treat your friend as you like to be ‎ D．not to think of your own need any more ‎12.What's the purpose of understanding how to deal with friendship problems?‎ A．To have a comfortable life.‎ B．To be treated the way you want.‎ C．To build stronger and healthier friendships.‎ D．To get a boyfriend or girlfriend more quickly.‎ ‎ D What is the most common cause for people in the UK to ask for leave due to illness? The answer is not the common cold or flu, but back pain. Back pain affects one in three British adults, costs the country over 5 billion pounds every year and is very difficult to treat. But now Britain’s National Health Service (NHS) will be offering a new solution: acupuncture(针灸). The ancient Chinese needle treatment has been around in the UK for many years, but this is the first time it has been officially approved by the NHS.‎ Traditionally, doctors in the UK have advised back pain sufferers to stay active, do stretching exercises and take painkillers when necessary. In more serious cases some people are given X-ray treatment or injections with medicines. However, there is evidence that acupuncture may be more effective than expensive X-rays or injections, so patients who have been suffering for over six weeks should be given a choice. As an alternative to acupuncture, patients will be able to choose either a course of spinal manipulation (脊柱推拿), or a series of special exercise sessions. In the UK, acupuncture is regarded as an aiding treatment, which means medical procedure hasn’t experienced serious experiments by which scientists prove some treatments work. While many experts have welcomed the policy to make acupuncture available on the NHS, some are still doubtful about its effectiveness.‎ Research from the US earlier this month found that similar acupuncture using toothpicks (牙签) which do not stick into the skin could be as good as using real needles. So while some are yet to be convinced, back pain sufferers will be hoping that acupuncture helps get them feeling healthy again.‎ ‎13. According to the passage, which is the best way to treat back pain?‎ A. To stay active. B. To do stretching exercises.‎ C. To be acupunctured. D. To take X-ray treatment or injections.‎ ‎14. Why are some people still doubtful about the effectiveness of acupuncture?‎ A. Because they have other choices. ‎ B. Because acupuncture hasn’t been tested by scientists strictly. ‎ C. Because using toothpicks is as good as using real needles.‎ D. Because acupuncture costs too much.‎ ‎15.The underlined word “available” in paragraph 2 could be best replaced by _______.‎ A. expensive B. useful C. perfect D. amazing 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。‎ How to Make Wise Decisions We make decisions every day; everything we say and do is the result of a decision. __16__ However, there are some steps you can follow.‎ ‎● List your options (选择). It may appear that there is only one course of action, but that is not necessarily true. No matter how limited your situation seems, try to make a list of options. Brainstorm, and write down every idea that comes to your mind, as crazy as it may seem. You can always cross it off the list later, but crazy ideas can bring creative solutions. Once you have your list, ask others for suggestions. __17__‎ ‎● Weigh the possible results. For every option, list every possible result, and label it as positive or negative. __18__ You can put a plus sign next to each positive result and a minus sign next to each negative one. Give two pluses or minuses to the best and the worst.‎ ‎● __19__ This is the hardest step, but there will hopefully be a decision on your list that is supported by both logic and intuition (直觉). If you still can't decide, ask for advice from people you trust. If need be, let them be the tie-breakers—it’s better than flipping (掷) a coin. ‎ ‎● Once you have made a decision, carry it out wholeheartedly. At this stage, don't let yourself be confused by thinking about all the choices you didn’t pick.‎ In the end, remember to evaluate your decision afterward.__20__ By drawing wisdom from every decision you make, you can ensure that every choice has at least one positive result.‎ A. Make a choice.‎ B. Think about who is affected.‎ C. There is a simple way to do this.‎ D. You should hope for the best and prepare for the worst.‎ E. If you don’t evaluate your decision afterward, you won't learn anything from it.‎ F. Sometimes they can offer the most creative ideas.‎ G. There are no easy formulas (公式) for making the right decision.‎ 第二部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节（共20小题：每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ ‎"My wallet!

At nine o’clock we arrived at the foot of the mountain and started climbing. The mountain was very high and some of us got tired soon, but all of us were very excited. We cheered happily when we got to the top. The view was wonderful. We had our lunch there and enjoyed ourselves very much. Unfortunately when we began to walk down the mountain, we were caught in a storm. Faced with unexpected situation, our teacher remained calm, asking us to help each other down. So we shared our umbrellas and raincoats with each other and walked more cautiously. Finally we all reached the parking lot safely and got on the bus heading back home.‎ Despite the unexpected rain and wind, we still had a good time. ‎
