Of the outstanding ladies listed below, who do you think was the most important woman of the past 100 years?‎ Jane Addams(1860—1935)‎ Anyone who has ever been helped by a social worker has Jane Addams to thank. Addams helped the poor and worked for peace. She encouraged a sense of community(社区)by creating shelters and promoting education and services for people in need. In 1931, Addams became the first American woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize.‎ Rachel Carson(1907—1964)‎ If it weren’t for Rachel Carson, the environmental movement might not exist today. Her popular 1962 book Silent Spring raised awareness of the dangers of pollution and the harmful effects of chemicals on humans and on the world’s lakes and oceans.‎ Sandra Day O’Connor(1930—present)‎ When Sandra Day O’Connor finished third in her class at Stanford Law School, in 1952, she could not find work at a law firm because she was a woman. She became an Arizona state senator(参议员)and, in 1981, the first woman to join the U.S. Supreme Court. O’Connor gave the deciding vote in many important cases during her 24 years on the top court.‎ Rosa Parks(1913—2005)‎ On December 1,1955, in Montgomery, Alabama, Rosa Parks would not give up her seat on a bus to a white passenger. Her simple act landed Parks in prison. But it also set off the Montgomery bus boycott. It lasted for more than a year, and kicked off the civil-rights movement. “The only tired I was, was tired of giving in,” said Parks.‎ ‎1. What is Jane Addams noted for in history?‎ A. Her social work.‎ B .Her teaching skills.‎ C. Her efforts to win a prize.‎ D. Her community background.‎ ‎2. What was the reason for O’Connor’s being rejected by the law firm?‎ A. Her lack of proper training in law.‎ B. Her little work experience in court.‎ C. The discrimination against women.‎ D. The poor financial conditions.‎ ‎3. Who made a great contribution to the civil-rights movement in the U.S.?‎ A. Jane Addams. B. Rachel Carson.‎ C. Sandra Day O’Connor. D. Rosa Parks.‎ ‎4. What can we infer about the women mentioned in the text?‎ A. They are highly educated. B. They are truly creative.‎ C. They are pioneers. D. They are peace-lovers.‎ B Although his 1-year-old smart-phone still works perfectly, Li Jijia already feels the need to replace it.‎ ‎“There are many better ones available now. It's time to upgrade(更新）my phone.”‎ Li’s impatience is shared by many. Shortly after the season when new products are released（发布，发售）, many consumers feel the urge to upgrade their electronic equipment, even though the ones they have still work just fine.‎ As consumers’ minds are occupied by Apple’s newly released products and debate whether the Google tablet is better than the new Amazon Kindle, it might be time to take a step back and ask: “Do we really need the latest upgrades?”‎ According to Donald Norman, an American author, “planned obsolescence (淘汰）” is the trick behind the upgrading culture of today’s consumer electronics industry.‎ Electronics producers strategically release new upgrades periodically, both for hardware and software, so that customers on every level feel the need to buy the newest version.‎ ‎“This is an old-time trick---they’re not inventing anything new,” Norman said. “This is a wasteful system through which companies--many of them producing personal electronics-- release poor-quality products simply because they know that, in six months or a year, they’ll put out a new one.”‎ But the new psychology of consumers is part of this system, as Norman admitted, “We now want something new, something pretty, the next shiny thing.” In its most recent year, Apple's profit margin(利润) was more than 21 percent. At Hewlett-Packard, the world’s biggest PC maker, it was only 7 percent.‎ Apple’s annual upgrades of its products create sales of millions of units as owners of one year’s MacBook or iPhone line up to buy the newest version, even when the changes are slight. ‎ As to Li Jijia, the need for upgrading his smart-phone comes mainly from friends and classmates. When they are switching to the latest equipment, he worries about feeling left out.‎ ‎“Some games require better hardware to run,” said Li. “If you don't join in, you lose part of the connection to your friends.”‎ ‎5. What’s the author’s attitude towards people’s greed for new products?‎ A. Supportive. B. Optimistic. C. Critical. D. Unclear.‎ ‎6. How do the electronics companies successfully promote their latest products?‎ A. They make full use of the “planned obsolescence” strategy.‎ B. They make a fool of customers by recycling their old products.‎ C. They control the customers’ way of thinking while shopping.‎ D. They invent new products to attract the youth like Li Jijia.‎ ‎7. Why is Apple Company interested in producing latest version of its product?‎ A. To provide customers with better service.‎ B. To defeat other competitors like Hewlett-Packard. ‎ C. To establish a favorable image of itself among its customers.‎ D. To make huge profits out of its business.‎ ‎8. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that Li Jijia feels the need to replace his smart-phone as a result of____.‎ A. new psychology B. peer pressure C. life style D. friends' expectation C When my brother and I were young, my mom would take us on Transportation Days. ‎ It goes like this: You can’t take any means of transportation more than once. We would start from home, walking two blocks to the rail station. We’d take the train into the city center, then a bus, switching to the tram, then maybe a taxi. We always considered taking a horse carriage in the historic district, but we didn’t like the way the horses were treated, so we never did. At the end of the day, we took the subway to our closest station, where Mom’s friend was waiting to give us a ride home—our first car ride of the day.‎ The good thing about Transportation Days is not only that Mom taught us how to get around. She was born to be multimodal (多方式的). She understood that depending on cars only was a failure of imagination and, above all, a failure of confidence—the product of a childhood not spent exploring subway tunnels. ‎ Once you learn the route map and step with certainty over the gap between the train and the platform, nothing is frightening anymore. New cities are just light-rail lines to be explored. And your personal car, if you have one, becomes just one more tool in the toolbox—and often an inadequate one, limiting both your mobility and your wallet.‎ On Transportation Days, we might stop for lunch on Chestnut Street or buy a new book or toy, but the transportation was the point. First, it was exciting enough to watch the world speed by from the train window. As I got older, my mom helped me unlock the mysteries that would otherwise have paralyzed my first attempts to do it myself: How do I know where to get off? How do I know how much it costs? How do I know when I need tickets, and where to get them? What track, what line, which direction, where’s the stop, and will I get wet when we go under the river?‎ I’m writing this right now on an airplane, a means we didn’t try on our Transportation Days and, we now know, the dirtiest and most polluting of them all. My flight routed me through Philadelphia. My multimodal mom met me for dinner in the airport. She took a train to meet me. ‎ ‎9. Which was forbidden by Mom on Transportation Days?‎ ‎ A. Havinga car ride. B. Taking the train twice.‎ C. Buying more than one toy. D. Touring the historic district.‎ ‎10. According to the writer, what was the greatest benefit of her Transportation Days?‎ A. Building confidence in herself. B. Reducing her use of private cars.‎ C. Developing her sense of direction. D. Giving her knowledge about vehicles.‎ ‎11. Which means of transportation does the writer probably disapprove of (不赞成)?‎ A. Airplane. B. Subway. C. Tram. D. Car.‎ D One of the greatest contributions（投稿）to the first Oxford English Dictionary was also one of its most unusual. In 1879, Oxford University in England asked Prof. James Murray to serve as editor for what was to be the most ambitious dictionary in the history of the English language. It would include every English word possible and would give not only the definition but also the history of the word and quotations (引文) showing how it was used. ‎ This was a huge task. So Murray had to find volunteers from Britain, the United States, and the British colonies to search every newspaper, magazine, and book ever written in English. Hundreds of volunteers responded, including William Chester Minor. Dr. Minor was an American Surgeon（外科医生）who had served in the Civil War and was now living in England. He gave his address as “Broadmoor, Crowthorne, Berkshire,” 50 miles from Oxford. ‎ Minor joined the army of volunteers sending words and quotations to Murray. Over the next years, he became one of the staff’s most valued contributors. ‎ But he was also a mystery. In spite of many invitations, he would always refuse to visit Oxford. So in 1897, Murray finally decided to travel to Crowthorne himself. When he arrived, he found Minor locked in a book-lined cell（囚室）at the Broadmoor Asylum（精神病院）for the Criminally insane. ‎ Murray and Minor became friends, sharing their love of words. Minor continued contributing to the dictionary, sending in more than 10,000 submissions in 20 years. Murray continued to visit Minor regularly, sometimes taking walks with him around the asylum grounds. ‎ In 1910, Minor left Broadmoor for an asylum in his native America. Murray was at the port to wave goodbye to his remarkable friend. ‎ Minor died in 1920, seven years before the first edition of the Oxford English Dictionary was completed. The 12 volumes defined 414,825 words, and thousands of them were contributions from a very scholarly and devoted asylum patient. ‎ ‎12. According to the text, the first Oxford English Dictionary _______. ‎ A. came out before Minor died B. was edited by an American volunteer ‎ C. included the English words invented by Murray D. was intended to be the most ambitious English dictionary ‎13. How did Dr. Minor contribute to the dictionary? A. He helped Murray to find hundreds of volunteers. B. He sent newspapers, magazines and books to Murray. C. He provided a great number of words and quotations. D. He went to England to work with Murray. ‎ ‎14. Prof. Murray and Dr. Minor became friends mainly because _______.‎ A. they both served in the Civil War B. they had a common interest in words C. Minor recovered with the help of Murray D. Murray went to America regularly to visit Minor ‎15. What does the text mainly talk about? A. The history of the English language. ‎ B. The friendship between Murray and Minor. C. Broadmoor Asylum and its patients. ‎ D. Minor and the first Oxford English Dictionary. ‎ ‎ ‎ 第二部分 完形填空（共20小题，每小题2分，满分40分）‎ 阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从36-55各题所给的四个选项（A,B,C和D）中，选出一个最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ ‎ On a Friday 16 , a poor young artist stood at the gate of the subway station, playing his violin.
