But what if it also had 27 floors, a replica (复制品) of King Tut’s burial chamber (墓室), or an indoor garden? Make yourself at home in some of the coolest houses from around the world.‎ Sea Creature Shack Naucalpan, Mexico ‎      Here’s what it’d be like to live in a shell. Architect Javier Senosiain designed this home to look like a real shelled sea creature called the nautilus. The house has rooms and hallways, plus a large front window with multi-colored glass. There’s even an indoor garden. The center of the house holds a TV room lined with soft sofas. If you lived here, you’d never want to come out of your shell.‎ Tower Power Mumbai, India ‎       For a billionaire looking for new digs, the sky’s the limit. One wealthy businessman even had a 27-story tall building used as a private home for his family of five. The tower — which supposedly cost one billion dollars — boasts a spa, ballroom, movie theater, and yoga studio. Living the high life comes at a price, though. The building’s first electric bill reportedly totaled $115,000.‎ Pyramid Palace Wadsworth, Illinois ‎       The United States isn’t known for having pyramids (金字塔) or pharaohs (法老). But one Illinois family decided to switch things.

Even the family’s cars get the ancient Egyptian royal treatment — the garage is shaped like three pyramids.‎ ‎21.

This can be anything from a simple fall into a swimming pool, or walking off the top of a tall building. It sounds like a job that you would have to be made to try, but there are actually lots of people who want to do it.‎ ‎ Sarah France, twenty-four, is one of Britain’s sixteen professional stunt women ---there are one hundred and sixty stunt men in the country. We asked Sarah how she came to be a stunt woman.‎ ‎ “When I was young I was trained to be a dancer, and for seven years after school I was hardly out of work. A dancer’s life is pretty short, though, and my father suggested I should think about doing stunt work after I’d given up dancing. I thought about it for the next two years and decided to have a go. For six months, I worked really hard every day. I had to learn different skills---swimming, jumping, horse -riding, etc.”‎ ‎ Sarah finished the course in just five months and applied to the office which decides whether you’re accepted as a professional stunt person or not. Two weeks after she was accepted, Sarah was throwing off the Great Wall of China in Superman IV.‎ ‎ “I was very lucky to get work so quickly. I had a small part, playing a traveler who fell off the Wall after an earthquake. The traveler’s life was saved by Superman,‎ ‎ of course! Actually, I fell forty-five feet into a pile of cardboard boxes! You can’t use anything softer than that or you will be brought back into view of the cinema. Instead you just have to learn to fall properly. It’s quite dangerous but I enjoy it.”‎ ‎24.Quite a number of people want to do dangerous acts in films because___________.‎ A．they are mad B．they don’t think them dangerous C．no training is needed D．they can earn much money ‎25．Sarah gave up dancing because___________.‎ A.her father persuaded her to do stunt work B.she could not go on dancing forever C.she had to work hard every day D.she was often out of work ‎26．Soon after Sarah got her new job as a stunt person, ______________.‎ A．an earthquake took place near the Great Wall B．she fell off the Great Wall and hurt herself C．she was asked to act in Superman IV D．she learned how to fall properly ‎27．The purpose of the first sentence of the passage is to ____________.‎ A．draw the readers’ attention to the whole passage ‎ B．invite you to try jumping off the Great Wall for money ‎ C．ask you to be a stunt person D．raise a question for the readers to think about C Researchers at the University of Kansas say that people can accurately judge 90 percent of a stranger’s personality simply by looking at the person’s shoes.‎ ‎“Shoes convey a thin but useful slice of information about their wearers,” the authors wrote in the new study published in the Journal of Research in Personality. “Shoes serve a practical purpose, and also serve as nonverbal indications with symbolic messages. People tend to pay attention to the shoes they and others wear.”‎ Medical Daily notes that the number of detailed personality traits detected in the study include a person’s general age, their gender, income, political affiliation(派别), and other personality characteristics, including someone’s emotional ‎ stability.‎ Lead researcher Omri Gillath said the judgments were based on the style, cost, color and condition of someone’s shoes. In the study, 63 University of Kansas students looked at pictures showing 208 different pairs of shoes worn by the study’s participants. Volunteers in the study were photographed in their most commonly worn shoes, and then filled out a personality questionnaire.‎ So, what do your shoes say about your personality?‎ Some of the results were expected: People with higher incomes most commonly wore expensive shoes, and flashier footwear was typically worn by extroverts(外向者).However, some of the more specific results are interesting. For example, “practical and functional” shoes were generally worn by more “agreeable” people, while ankle boots were more closely aligned with “aggressive” personalities.‎ The strangest of all may be that those who wore “uncomfortable looking” shoes tend to have “calm” personalities.And if you have several pairs of new shoes or take exceptional care of them, you may suffer from “attachment anxiety”, spending a large amount of time worrying about what other people think of your appearance. There was even a political calculation in the mix with more liberal types wearing “shabbier and less expensive” shoes.‎ The researchers noted that some people will choose shoe styles to mask their actual personality traits, but researchers noted that volunteers were also likely to be unaware that their footwear choices were revealing deep insights into their personalities.‎ ‎28．We can infer from Paragraph 2 that___________.‎ A．shoes are vital to their wearers B．a practical purpose is to wear shoes C．people want to buy new shoes they pay attention to D．shoes may give away their wearers’ information ‎29．Which of the following is NOT true according to the text?‎ A．People with high incomes probably wear expensive shoes.‎ B．Ankle boots are closely aligned with “aggressive” personalities．‎ C．People wearing “uncomfortable looking” shoes tend to be calm D．People who wear practical and functional shoes may be hard to deal with ‎30．The underlined word “attachment anxiety”, probably means ___________.‎ A．Attached happiness to one’s personality.‎ B．Feeling always worried about everything.‎ C．Often feeling worried about his or her appearance.‎ D．Wasting an inordinate amount of time.‎ ‎31．Which might be the best title for the passage?‎ A．Bad Shoes, Bad Personality. B．People Are What They Wear.‎ C．How To Choose Suitable Shoes D．Shoes Reflect A Person’s Personalities.‎ D Planning to go to a gym? If you are one of those who spent many days planning to join a gym or to attend it regularly, then why not choose some home exercise? Here are some home exercises without equipment.‎ Jumping jacks This one is the best home workout without weights which is a great exercise that will work your hands and legs. Perform this exercise by standing with your feet placed together and arms at your sides. Now tuck in your abs(收腹) and jump by bending in your knees. At the same time, move your feet apart as much as you can and raise your hands to bring in line with your shoulder. While you come back you must be in a starting position, feet together, hands at sides and knees bent. You must land on your heels and again jump.‎ Jogging Jogging is one of the best home exercises without weights. You don’t need to have a lawn or jogging track at home to perform this exercise. There are many benefits of jogging. It will work your entire legs. Moreover, it is a classic cardiovascular(心血管) workout. Make sure you wear jogging footwear even if you are jogging at home to avoid any stress on your feet. Also, you can gradually increase the jogging time and speed.‎ Rotating(旋转) exercise Start by rotating your wrists, clockwise(顺时针地) and anticlockwise. Now, alternately rotate your feet in the same fashion. Now place both your hands on the shoulder and start rotating your shoulder clockwise and anticlockwise. Place an exercise mat and lie flat on your back. Now lift your left leg and rotate it clockwise; do not bend your knees. Now rest the left leg, lift your right leg and rotate it anticlockwise.‎ It is necessary to set a perfect mood for exercise which will help you stick to the exercise routine and excitement. Make sure you wear proper exercise clothes to perform the workout with ease. Also, putting on your favorite music will make your exercise session more lively. If you get bored with exercises, just dance, after all it’s also one of the best home exercises.‎ ‎32．To carry out jumping jacks effectively, you ________.‎ A．need to keep your two feet apart at first B．must stand straight first and bend your abs C．must use your arms to support your body D．need to use your heels to touch the ground ‎33．What can we learn from Paragraph 3?‎ A．You may exercise your body entirely by jogging at home.‎ B．It may do harm to your feet to jog at home without shoes.‎ C．You’d better choose a space as the jogging track at home.‎ D．You must stick to a fixed time and speed while jogging.‎ ‎34．What is the right order of your body parts during rotation exercise?‎ A．hands—legs---back----legs.

The reason for most foot pain is that shoes fit poorly or force the feet into unnatural shapes. 36． Aside from carefully selecting the right shoes, there are some easy measures you can take to keep foot pain at bay.‎ ‎1. Stretch Your Shoes If your feet are rubbing against your shoes, this could indicate that you need more width, length or both. However, sometimes going to the next larger size is not an option, as the next size may be too large. 37．‎ ‎2. Using Shoe Inserts Both podiatrists（足病医生）and those in the shoe repair industry often recommend inserts to increase shoe comfort. 38．Determining the best insert for your shoes depends on what hurts.‎ ‎3. 39．‎ The way you lace（用带子系紧）your shoes can make a world of difference in their comfort. Lacing them too tightly or incorrectly can make your feet hurt. Cramped toes, rubbing on the top of the foot, and pressure on the big toe can likely be relieved if you lace your shoes differently.‎ ‎4. Wearing Socks ‎40．They are usually made of cotton or nylon. Not only do they add an extra layer of cushion to your shoes but they also keep your feet from sweating. This prevents moisture（水汽）from forming in the shoes. Moisture in your shoes can cause blisters and calluses on your feet.‎ A．Adjusting Shoe Laces B．Buy Shoes without Shoe Laces C．There are a lot of shoe inserts to choose from D．Therefore, you need to know the size of the shoes that are fit for your feet E. In fact, ill-fitting shoes are a top cause of foot pain F. Socks are of great help to add more comfort to your shoes G. In this case stretching the shoes may be a good solution 第三部分：语言知识运用（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）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ There was a woman named Japan Atsuko Saeki living in the city of Fujisawa．When she was a teenager, she 41 of going to the United States．Most of what she knew about American 42 was from the textbooks she had read．“I had a 43 in mind: Daddy watching TV in the living-room, Mummy 44 cakes and their teenage daughter off to the cinema with her boyfriend．”Atsuko 45 to attend college in California.When she arrived, however, she found it was not her 46 world．“People were struggling with problems and often seemed 47 ” she said．“I felt very alone．”One of her hardest 48 was physical education.“We played volleyball,” she said．“The other students were 49 it, but I wasn’t．”‎ One afternoon, the instructor asked Atsuko to 50 the ball to her teammates so they could knock it 51 the net.No problem for most people, but it terrified Atsuko.She was afraid of losing face 52 she failed．‎ A young man on her team 53 what she was going through．“He walked up to me and 54 ‘Come on.You can do that.’”‎ ‎“You will never understand how those words of 55 made me feel…Four words: You can do that．I felt like crying with happiness.”‎ She made it through the class.Perhaps she thanked the young man; she is not 56 ．Six years have passed.Atsuko is back in Japan, working as a salesclerk．“I have 57 forgotten the words,” she said．“When things are not going so well, I think of them．”She is sure the young man had no idea how much his kindness 58 to her. “He probably doesn’t even remember it,” she said.That may be the lesson.Whenever you say something to a person cruel or kind—you have no idea how long the words will 59 .She’s all the way over in Japan, but still she hears those four 60 words: You can do that．‎ ‎41．A．learned B．dreamed C．spoken D．heard ‎42．A．picture B．education C．life D．spirit ‎43．A．photo B．painting C．way D．drawing ‎44．A．frying B．baking C．steaming D．boiling ‎45．A．hoped B．attempted C．liked D．arranged ‎46．A．described B．created C．imagined D．discovered ‎47．A．tense B．cheerful C．relaxed D．deserted ‎48．A．classes B．questions C．times D．projects ‎49.
