I do. He loves you. Sometimes I think he loves you more than he loves me. He’s addicted to you, to the way you promise to rid him of his problems only to cause more of them. You just sat back and laughed as his car went spinning through the street, crashing into two other cars. He wasn’t the only one hurt by you that night.‎ Do you remember the night of my first high school party ? You were there. My friends were intrigued by you. They treated you as if they were never going to see you again, drinking all of you that they could. I spent two hours that night helping my friends who had fallen completely. “ I’m so embarrassed,” they said as I held their hair back so that they could vomit. “ I’m sorry,” they said when I called taxis for them, walking them out and paying the driver in advance. “ This won’t happen again,” they said as they were sent to the hospital to have their stomachs pumped. Two 15-year-old girls slept in hospital beds that night thanks to you. ‎ Do you remember the night when you took advantage of my 17-year-old neighbor who had drive to pick up his sister from her dance lessons? Do you know how we all felt when he hit another car and killed the two people in the car? He died the next morning, too. His sister walked home from her dance lesson, and passed police cars and a crowd of people gathering on the ‎ sidewalk just two blocks away from the dance studio. She didn’t realize her brother was in the midst of it all. She never saw him again. And it’s all your fault.‎ I wish you’d walk out of my life forever. I don’t want anything to do with you. Look at all the pain you’ve caused. Sure, you’ve made people happy too from time to time. But the damage you’ve caused in the lives of millions is inexcusable. Stop luring the people I love.

The underlined phrase “were intrigued by” in 3rd paragraph is closest in meaning to “___________. ” ‎ ‎ A. were familiar with B. were disappointed with ‎ C. were interested in D. were satisfied with ‎ ‎27. What is the tone of the article?‎ A. Unconcerned. B. Doubtful C. Critical D. Humorous C China dropped its decades-long, one-child policy in October to allow each family to have two children. This change has put 270 million married women of childbearing age in the position of choosing between family and work. The employers also face big challenges as more female workers will have maternity leaves(产假)for a total of seven to eight months. ‎ In a survey recently published by classified advertising website Ganji.com, career women who might be considering having a second child were asked what kinds of pressure they might expect. More than 76 percent of the respondents mentioned concerns about the financial burden of raising two children, while more than 71 percent said it would be difficult to balance career and family. Additionally, nearly 56 percent said that having a second child would definitely have a negative effect on their career.‎ A survey conducted by Chongqing-based human resources website job. Cq.qq.com found that over 70 percent of job seekers believe that having a second child wound make females less popular in the job market, although two-thirds of the employers said the policy will make no difference during their recruitment.‎ Feng Lijuan, a senior expert on human resources at 51job.com, a leading Chinese job finding platform, said she would not say “there is discrimination (歧视)against career women”. Feng said Chinese women shoulder more family responsibility. “It is not only about maternity leave; a female employee might only get back to work after three to five years after having her first child.‎ Wang Yixin, a senior consultant at Zhaopin, said the positive side is that more companies are trying to attract more talent by providing support to career women. “Different from before, it is not only employers choosing employees. Many talents, including professional career women, also choose employers,” said Wang. “According to our survey, many large enterprises are very open to their employees’ choice of having a second child.‎ ‎28. Married women are_________ after two-children policy came into effect.‎ A. supportive B. opposed C. indifferent D. in a dilemma ‎29. What in not the concern of having two children in the survey?‎ A. Family conflicts      B. Financial problems  C. Losing jobs     D. More pressure ‎30. According to Feng Lijuan, which of the follow is right?‎ A. Female employees shouldn’t have maternity leave.‎ B. Family affairs distribute career women’s energy.‎ C. Chinese women shoulder more work responsibility.‎ D. All employers discriminate female workers.‎ ‎31. What is the best title of this passage?‎ A. The Burden of Career Women B. Having Two Children, Good or Bad?‎ C. A Balance Between Career and Family D. A Chinese New Policy D ‎ Wang Mengshu, an expert at the Chinese Academy of Engineering, said at a group discussion on the sidelines of the annual session of the National People’s Congress that Wi-Fi should not be provided on high-speed trains, as it might disturb communication signals of trains and would also cost a lot in keeping trains in good condition. He also encouraged passengers to enjoy the views, instead of fixing their eyes on tiny screens of smart phones and laptops. However, on last Tuesday Beijing Youth Daily said it should be market demand that decides whether the Wi-Fi is offered on the trains or not.‎ ‎ An increasing number of residents, especially young white-collar workers, are addicted to their smart phones rather than face-to-face interactions, thanks to the extensive Wi-Fi coverage across the country. That partly justifies Wang’s opposition to the offering of Wi-Fi on high-speed trains, because they are not supposed to be dependent on high-tech devices. It is also evident that passengers on trains without free Wi-Fi will use their smart phones and other mobile devices less. However, whether the trains should provide a free Wi-Fi service fundamentally depends on customer demand.‎ ‎ In other words, state-owned as it is, the China Railway Crop still has to obey relevant market rules, and provide technologically possible services to passengers if that is what they want. It cannot turn a blind eye to customers’ wants “for the sake of their well-being”.‎ ‎ Free Wi-Fi, in fact, is already available on a lot of buses and coaches. This is a natural response to their competition with trains (especially high-speed ones), which are significantly faster and safer. The bus companies have been forced to improve their services to survive. It requires proper guidance, not a total ban on the bus, to make up for the negative effects of high-end technologies, such as people’s increasing addiction to smart phones. ‎ ‎32. Which is one of the reasons for Wang Mengshu saying no to free Wi-Fi on the train?‎ A. Making communication signals of trains stable.‎ B. Not focusing on the screens of phones and laptops.‎ C. A high cost of keeping trains in good condition.‎ D. Missing the beautiful views throughout a journey.‎ ‎33. Which of the following best explains the underlined part in the second paragraph?‎ A. Some people go against Wang’s proposal.‎ B. Wang’s opposition proves reasonable in part.‎ C. Most people think Wang’s suggestion hard to carry out.‎ D. Young white-collar workers consider Wang’s advice right.‎ ‎34. What does “market rules” in the 3rd paragraph refer to?‎ A. Demand depends on supply. B. The market decides purchasing power.‎ C. Everything depends on money. D. The market is in the control of customers.‎ ‎35. According to the last paragraph, the author agree__________.‎ A. People should drop smart phones. B. Every coin has two sides.‎ C. High-end technologies cause more side effects. D. A total ban on free Wi-Fi is reasonable.‎ 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，选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Training for a marathon requires careful preparation and steady, gradual increases in the length of the runs. 36 ,buy the best-fitting, best-built running shoes you can find. No one can say which brand will work best for you or feel best on your feet, so you have to rely on your experience and on the feel of each pair as you shop. When you have found shoes that seem right, walk in them for a few days to double-check the fit. 37 . As always, you should stretch(伸展) at least ten minutes before each run to prevent injuries. ‎ During the first week, do not think about distance, but run five minutes longer each day. 38 ,it is wise to take a day off to rest. But during the next week, set a goal of at least a mile and a half per run. 39 . After two weeks, start timing yourself. 40 .

Now you are ready to figure out a goal of improving distance and time C. Time spent for preparation raises the quality of training D. With each day, increase the distance by a half mile ‎ E.
