It has been made to help you better manage your money. The Winners Club is a transaction account(交易账户)where you receive a key－card so you can get to your money 24/7—that's 24 hours a day, 7 days a week!‎ ‎ It's a club with impressive features for teenagers：‎ ‎ No account keeping fees!‎ ‎ You're no millionaire so we don't expect you to pay large fees. In fact, there are no account keeping or transaction fees!‎ ‎ Excellent interest rates!‎ ‎ You want your money to grow. The Winners Club has a good rate of interest which gets even better if you make at least two deposits(储蓄)without taking them out in a month.‎ ‎ Convenient ‎ Teenagers are busy—we get that. You may never need to come to a bank at all. With the Winners Club you can choose to use handy tellers and to bank from home using the phone and the Internet...You can have money directly deposited into your Winners Club account. This could be your pocket money or your pay from your part－time job!‎ ‎ Mega magazine included ‎ Along with your regular report, you will receive a FREE magazine full of good ideas to make even more of your money. There are also fantastic offers and competitions only for Winners Club members.‎ ‎ The Winners Club is a great choice for teenagers. And it is so easy to join. Simply fill in an application form. You will have to get permission from your parent or guardian (so we can organize that cool key－card) but it is easy. We can't wait to hear from you. It's the best way to choose to be a winner!‎ ‎1. The Winners Club is a bank account intended for ________.‎ A．parents B．teenagers C．winners D．adults ‎2. Which of the following is TRUE about the Winners Club?‎ A．Special gifts are ready for parents. B．The bank opens only on work days.‎ C．Services are convenient for its members. D．Fees are necessary for the account keeping.‎ ‎3. The Winners Club provides magazines which ______.‎ A．encourage spending B．are free to all teenagers C．are full of adventure stories D．help to make more of your money B ‎ I heard many parents complaining that their teenage children are rebelling. I wish it were so. At your age you ought to be growing away from your parents. You should be learning to stand on your own two feet. But take a good look at the present rebellion. It seems that teenagers are taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents. Instead of striking out boldly on their own, most of them are clutching (紧握) at one another's hands for reassurance.‎ ‎ They claim they want to dress as they please. But they all wear the same clothes. They set off in new directions in music. But somehow they all end up huddled (聚在一起) round listening to the same record. Their reason for thinking or acting in thus－and－such a way is that the crowd is doing it. They have come out of their cocoon (蚕茧) into a larger－cocoon.‎ ‎ It has become harder and harder for a teenager to stand up against the popularity wave and to go his or her own way. Industry has firmly carved out a teenage market. These days every teenager can learn from the advertisements what a teenager should have and be. And many of today's parents have come to award high marks for the popularity of their children. All this adds up to a great barrier for the teenager who wants to find his or her own path.‎ ‎ But the barrier is worth climbing over. The path is worth following. You may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party. You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records. You may have some thoughts that you don't care to share at once with your classmates. Well, go to it. Find yourself. Be yourself. Popularity will come—with the people who respect you for who you are. That is the only kind of popularity that really counts.‎ ‎4. In this passage, the author wants to tell ________.‎ A．teenagers to try to pursue their real selves B．readers to try to be popular with people around C．parents to try to control and guide their children D．people to try to understand and respect each other ‎5. The author disapproves of rebelling teenagers ________.‎ A．growing away from their parents B．following the popularity trend ‎ C．walking a new way on their own D．turning to their friends for help ‎6. The phrase “larger－cocoon” at the end of the second paragraph refers to ________.‎ A．the distractive and variable society B．the dazzling music world C．the parental care and love D．the popularity wave in the society ‎ ‎7. What does the author think of advertisements?‎ A．Convincing. B．Instructive.‎ C．Influential. D．Authoritative.‎ C ‎ Girls can easily sad. If your friend is feeling blue and calls you, what will you do? Here are some tips on how you can make her smile again.‎ ‎ Listen to her. When people feel sad, they often have the feeling of needing to be heard. So, listen carefully to what she is saying and do nothing else. Your friend will surely thank you for ‎ being the shoulder she can cry on.‎ ‎ Once you are done with listening, you can offer some advice or remain silent and let her feel everything and let it all out by crying. As a friend, you might think you should give her some advice. But if you have no idea about what to say, just remain silent and be there for her.‎ ‎ In order to be able to help your friend in need, don't be sad for yourself. How can you help your friend when you are also feeling down?‎ ‎ A hug can make a difference in the world. It makes you feel warm and special. A hug makes you feel safe. So give your friend a hug when she needs it the most.‎ ‎ Spend more time with your friend who wants to be happy. Do things together like washing dishes, cleaning, or going out for fun. The more time you spend together, the stronger your friendship will become.‎ ‎ Sometimes, it is much better that you avoid a crying friend in your life. But by doing so, you are also keeping your friend at a distance and will make her wonder if you are her true friend. If you are there when she needs you, your friendship will be much stronger.‎ ‎8. The writer wrote this passage mainly to tell us ________.‎ A. why girls can easily get sad B. what to do when we are sad C. how to make new friends with girls D. how to make a sad female friend happy again ‎9.

The last paragraph shows that ________.‎ A. every dog has its day B. a friend in need is a friend indeed C. where there's a will, there is a way D. two heads are better than one D ‎ It was the summer of 1965. Deluca, then 17, visited Peter Buck, a family friend. Buck asked Deluca about his plan for the future. “I'm going to college, but I need a way to pay for it,” Deluca recalls saying. “Buck said, ‘You should open a sandwich shop.’”‎ ‎ That afternoon, they agreed to be partners. And they set a goal: to open 32 stores in ten years. After doing some research, Buck wrote a check for $1,000. Deluca rented a storefront (店面) in Connecticut, and when they couldn't cover their start－up costs, Buck kicked in another $1,000.‎ ‎ But business didn't go smoothly as they expected. Deluca says, “After six months, we were doing poorly, but we didn't know how badly, because we didn't have any financial controls.” All he and Buck knew was that their sales were lower than their costs.‎ ‎ Deluca was managing the store and to the University‎ of ‎Bridgeport at the same time. Buck was working at his day job as a nuclear physicist in New York. They'd meet Monday evenings and brainstorm ideas for keeping the business running. “We convinced ourselves to open a second store. We figured we could tell the public, ‘We are so successful; we are opening a second store.’” And they did—in the spring of 1966. Still, it was a lot of learning by trial and error.‎ ‎ But the partners' learn－as－you－go approach turned out to be their greatest strength. Every Friday, Deluca would drive around and hand－deliver the checks to pay their supplies. “It ‎ probably took me two and a half hours and it wasn't necessary but as a result, the suppliers got to know me very well, and the personal relationships established really helped out,” Deluca says.‎ ‎ And having a goal was also important. “There are so many problems that can get you down. You just have to keep working toward your goal,” Deluca adds.‎ Deluca ended up founding Subways Sandwich, the multimillion－dollar restaurant chain. ‎ ‎12. Deluca opened the first sandwich shop in order to ________.‎ A．support his family B．pay for his college education ‎ C．help his partner expand business D．do some research ‎ ‎13. Which of the following is true of Buck? ‎ A．He put money into the sandwich business.‎ B．He was a professor of business administration. ‎ C．He was studying at the University‎ of ‎Bridgeport. ‎ D．He rented a storefront for Deluca. ‎ ‎14. What can we learn about their first shop? ‎ A．It stood at an unfavorable place. ‎ B．It lowered the prices to poor management. ‎ C．It made no profits due to poor management. ‎ D．It lacked control over the quality of sandwich. ‎ ‎15. What contributes most to their success according to the author? ‎ A．Learning by trial and error. B．Making friends with supplies. ‎ C．Finding a good partner. D．Opening chain stores.‎ 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。‎ ‎ The world moves so quickly nowadays. With so many daily responsibilities, we can hardly keep our heads above water. 16 ‎ ‎ Many people would say the arts are nice, but not necessary. In school, students should focus on languages, math and science. 17 Not everyone needs to experience Shakespeare or Picasso to have a good life. Besides, who has time?‎ ‎ In truth, spending time learning to appreciate the arts may be more worthwhile than you think. A recent British study examined the salaries and jobs of people who spent time enjoying the arts when growing up. The researchers found those who enjoyed the arts from an early age had better jobs and higher salaries than those who didn’t.‎ ‎ Other studies have found that students studying the arts exercise their reasoning ability. 18 Creative and critical-thinking abilities are also developed through art study. ‎ ‎ 19 Paintings aren’t just pretty pictures. They tell stories about the lives of the subjects or about the experience of the painter. Look at the world from Picasso’s point of view, and you will see everyday life in new ways. Those who appreciate the arts also gain a broader perspective (视角) on the world.‎ ‎ Why is this broader perspective important? Because when we look beyond ourselves, we can appreciate the experience of people from different walks of life. The arts help develop the ability ‎ to see things from many different points of view. These things will help us better communicate and cooperate with other people.‎ ‎ 20 You won’t regret it, and it will do you more good than you realize. ‎ A. This ability helps with problem-solving.‎ B. The best kind of art stirs (激发) our imagination and makes us think. ‎ C. After graduation, listening to Mozart won’t lead you to a better-paying job.‎ D. Should we make time to appreciate the arts?‎ E. It turns out that the arts help us develop many useful skills. ‎ F. Should we just slow down a bit to enjoy the scene?‎ G. If you want to better yourself, go and enjoy the arts. ‎ 第二部分 英语知识运用 （共两节，满分 75分） ‎ 第一节 完形填空（共 40 小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分 60 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ A ‎ I was 45 years old when I decided to learn how to surf.
