Along the way he had completely run out of money and was forced to spend the night in his car. This continued until one morning, after a week of sleeping in his car, he walked nervously into a restaurant and ordered a big breakfast.‎ After eating his first good meal in weeks, he found himself lying to the waiter, telling him he had lost his wallet. The waiter, who was also the owner, walked behind the chair where the young man had been sitting. He bent down, and came up with a $ 20 bill that looked as if it had fallen on the floor. “Sir, you must have dropped ‎3‎ this, ” the owner said. The young man couldn't believe his luck! He quickly paid for the breakfast, left a tip, bought gas with the change, and headed West.‎ On the way out of town, he began to understand what that fellow did. “Maybe nobody dropped the money at all. Maybe that fellow just knew I was in trouble and he helped me in a way that didn't embarrass me. So I just made a promise to help other people if I can. ”‎ Later, he worked very hard and became a rich man. Now, he lives near Kansas City. Each year he gives away thousands of dollars. He is known as the “Secret Santa” because at Christmas time each year, he personally hands money out to those on the street and at restaurants. Last year, he gave more than $ 50,000 away in Kansas City.‎ 1. The young man was traveling across the country in 1971 probably to .‎ A. improve his life B. hand out gifts to passers-by C. look for a good restaurant D. show his new car to others 2. On the way out of town, the young man got to know that ___.‎ A. it was very honest of the owner to return his money B. he could probably find himself a job in the restaurant C. the owner helped him in a way that didn't hurt his feelings D. another man who had breakfast in the restaurant lost the money 3. From this text we can infer that ___.‎ A. the man raised money for the poor B. the man did carry out his promise C. Santa gives the man money each year D. the man was not successful in the end 4. The best title for the text may be __.‎ A. Secret Santa of Kansas City B. The Key to Success C. A kind Waiter in the Restaurant D. Never Give Up C For Western designers, China and its rich culture have long been an inspiration(灵感) for Western creative.‎ ‎"It's no secret that China has always been a source(来源)of inspiration for designers," says Amanda Hill, chief creative officer at A+E Networks, a global media company and home to some of the biggest fashion shows.‎ Earlier this year, the China Through A Looking Glass exhibition in New York exhibited 140 pieces of China-inspired fashionable clothing alongside Chinese works of art, with the aim of exploring the influence of Chinese aesthetics (美学) on Western fashion and how China has fueled the fashionable ‎ imagination for centuries. The exhibition had record attendance, showing that there is huge interest in Chinese influences.‎ ‎"China is impossible to overlook, " says Hill. "Chinese models are the faces of beauty and fashion campaigns that sell dreams to women all over the world, which means Chinese women are not just consumers of fashion -- they are central to its movement." Of course, not only are today's top Western designers being influenced by China ‎--some of the best designers of contemporary fashion are themselves Chinese. "Vera Wang, Alexander Wang, Jason Wu are taking on Galliano, Albaz, Marc Jacobs - and beating them hands down in design and sales," adds Hill.‎ For Hill, it is impossible not to talk about China as the leading player when discussing fashion. "The most famous designers are Chinese, so are the models, and so are the consumers," she says. "China is no longer just another market; in many senses it has become the market. If you talk about fashion today, you are talking about China - its influences, its direction, its breathtaking clothes, and how young designers and models are finally acknowledging that in many ways."‎ 1. What can we learn about the exhibition in New York?‎ A. It promoted the sales of artworks. B. It attracted a large number of visitors.‎ C. It showed ancient Chinese clothes. D. It aimed to introduce Chinese models.‎ 2. What does Hill say about Chinese women?‎ A. They are setting the fashion. B. They start many fashion campaigns.‎ C. They admire super models. D. They do business all over the world.‎ ‎4‎ 3. What do the underlined words "taking on" in paragraph 4 mean?‎ A. learning from B. looking down on C. working with D. competing against 4. What can be a suitable title for the text?‎ A. Young Models Selling Dreams to the World B. A Chinese Art Exhibition Held in New York C. Differences Between Eastern and Western Aesthetics D. Chinese Culture Fueling International Fashion Trends D Is It Worth Buying Organic Food? Organic food, grown without artificial chemicals, is increasingly popular nowadays. Consumers have been willing to pay up to twice more for goods with organic labels (商标). However, a study led by researchers at Stanford University says that organic products aren't necessarily more nutritious, and they're no less likely to suffer from disease-causing bacteria, either.‎ The latest results, published in the Annuals of Internal Medicine, suggest that buyers may be wasting their money. "We did not find strong evidence that organic food is more nutritious or healthier," says Dr. Crystal Smith-Spangler from Stanford. "So consumers shouldn't assume that one type of food has a lower risk or is safer."‎ For their new study, Smith-Spangler and her colleagues conducted a review of two categories of research,‎ including 17 studies that compared health outcomes between consumers of organic against traditional ‎ food products, and 223 studies that analyzed the nutritional content of the foods, including key vitamins, minerals and fats.‎ While the researchers found little difference in nutritional content, they did find that organic fruit and vegetables were 20% less likely to have chemicals remaining on the surfaces. Neither organic nor traditional foods showed levels of chemicals high enough to go beyond food safety standards. And both organic and traditional meats, such as chicken and pork, were equally likely to be harmed by bacteria at very low rates. The researchers did find that organic milk and chicken contained higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids, a healthy fat also found in fish that can reduce the risk of heart disease. However, these nutritional differences were too small, and the researchers were unwilling to make much of them until further studies confirm the trends.‎ Organic food is produced with fewer chemicals and more natural-growing practices, but that doesn't always translate into a more nutritious or healthier product. The U. S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) states that "whether you buy organic or not, finding the freshest foods available may have the biggest effect on taste." Fresh food is at least as good as anything marketed as organic.‎ 1. The new research questions whether organic food ___ _.‎ A .should replace traditional food B .has been overpriced by farmers C .is grown with less harmful chemicals D .is really more nutritious and healthier ‎33.Smith-Spangler and her colleagues found that __________.‎ A .organic food could reduce the risk of heart disease B .traditional food was grown with more natural methods C .both organic and traditional food they examined were safe D .there was not a presence of any forms of bacteria in organic food ‎34.Which of the following is relatively healthier according to the passage?‎ A .Organic chicken and pork. B .Organic milk and chicken.‎ C .Traditional chicken and pork. D .Traditional fruit and vegetables.‎ ‎5‎ ‎35. What is the author's attitude toward organic food?‎ A .Skeptical B .Neutral C .Unconcerned D .Approving 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。‎ Forgiveness To forgive is a virtue, but no one has ever said it is easy. When someone has deeply hurt you, it can be extremely difficult to let go of your hate. However, forgiveness is possible, and it can be surprisingly beneficial to your physical and mental health. People who forgive show less sadness, anger and stress and more hopefulness, according to a recent research.‎ ‎36 Try the following steps:‎ Calm yourself. 37 You can take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, or someone you love.‎ Don't wait for an apology. Many times the person who hurt you does not intend to apologize. They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don't see things the same way. 38 Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean becoming friends again with the person who upset you.‎ Take the control away from your offender(冒犯者). Rethinking about you hurt gives power to the person who causes you pain. Instead of focusing on your strong feelings, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you.‎ ‎39 If you understand your offender, you may realize that he or she was acting out of unawareness,‎ fear, and even love. You may want to write a letter to yourself from your offender's point of view.‎ Don't forget to forgive yourself. 40 But it can rob you of your self-confidence if you don't do it.‎ A. Why should you forgive?‎ B. How should you start to forgive?‎ C. Recognize the benefits of forgiveness.‎ D. Try to see things from you offender's angle.‎ E. For some people, forgiving themselves is the biggest challenge.‎ F. To make your anger die away, try a simple stress-management technique.‎ G. If you wait for people to apologize, you could be waiting an awfully long time.‎ 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)‎ 阅读下面的短文，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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ I was driving my newly-acquired motorcycle across the vastness of North Dakota.
