To introduce the topic of the passage.‎ B. To stress the popularity of ebooks.‎ C. To show what the author cares about.‎ D. To remind us of the change at the library.‎ ‎22．According to Paragraph 2, what can we know about Amazon?‎ A. It has sold ebooks for five years.‎ B. Its ebooks are cheaper than printed books.‎ C. It has the best ebooks among all libraries.‎ D. Its ebooks sell better than printed books.‎ ‎23．We know from the survey done by Pew Internet Project that ________.‎ A. few library customers know how to read ebooks B. the promotional effort at ebook readers is not big enough C. library customers should be reminded about the ebook service D. more library cards should be offered to readers free of charge ‎24．Why did Penguin Books NOT supply new ebooks to libraries?‎ A. Because they are not allowed to offer ebooks.‎ B. Because they wanted to increase the sales of printed books.‎ C. Because they didn't want their ebooks to be copied.‎ D. Because their products were not welcomed there.‎ How to Graduate from College with a High GPA(Grade Point Average)‎ One Hour a Day One of the most challenging things about college is time management. It’s not that you don’t have enough. In fact you usually have too much time, and as a result time gets wasted. If you take good notes in class, and spend one hour reviewing your notes every day before going to sleep, you will make use of the power of the subconscious(下意识)to absorb information and by the time exams come around you’ll know all the material on a subconscious level, and you don’t have to sit up the night before exams.‎ Select Easy Courses The reason why selecting easy courses is powerful is that it allows you to start off your college career with an extremely high GPA. Good grades have less and less of an impact on your GPA later in your college career and raising your GPA becomes much more difficult. Selecting easy ‎ courses in the first term also leaves room for the occasional failure when coursework become more challenging.‎ Join (or Form) Study Groups If you go to a large public school where classes often have 700 plus people, study groups are an extremely effective way to ensure good grades. Study groups are often led by older students who have taken the course and received A’s in that particular course. They also often provide you with resources such as practice tests, practice problems, and many others that might not be provided by professors.‎ Use Personal Development I can honestly say I didn’t involve myself in personal development when I was in college. Looking back I realize that I suffered from low self-respect and a very unhealthy self-image. But, if I had combined personal development techniques with the three steps above, my college career would have turned out very differently.‎ If you have already started school, I recommend developing a strategy that applies these four ideas to your current schedule. If you haven’t started school yet, do some research on easier courses and what study groups might be available. If you follow through and commit to the four recommendations above, you’ll set yourself up for a very successful first term, and hopefully a very successful college career.‎ ‎25．According to the passage, managing your time wisely leads to __________.‎ A. sitting up late before exams B. spending less time each day C. mastering what you learn in an easy way D. benefiting from the notes ‎26．Group study is meant to let the students ___________.‎ A. study effectively B. get along well with one another C. practice solving problems D. study independently ‎27．The winter attached least importance to ___________ when he was at college.‎ A. reviewing his lessons one hour a day B. selecting easier courses to learn C. involving a study group led by senior students D. applying personal development techniques ‎28．From the passage we can infer that _____________.‎ A. every college student is to get a high GPA when graduated B. personal development is that most important techniques of the 4 steps C. the earlier you choose easy courses, the better performance you’ll have D. the fist school year’s success plays an important role in your college career The world’s richest man might seem to have it all, but Bill Gates has one regret. The self-made billionaire said he felt stupid for not knowing any foreign languages.‎ Speaking in his third Ask Me Anything question-and-answer session for online forum Reddit(红迪网), the Microsoft founder said that he wished he spoke French, Arabic or Chinese.‎ He said: “I took Latin and Greek in high school and got A’s and I guess it helps my vocabulary. I ‎ keep hoping to get time to study one of these—probably French because it is the easiest. I did Duolingo for a while but didn’t keep it up.”‎ Gates, who is worth $79.3 billion, praised Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg for surprising an audience in Beijing when he spoke fluent Chinese. “Mark Zuckerberg amazingly leamed Chinese and did a Q&A with Chinese students—unbelievable, isn’t it?” he said.‎ This isn’t the first time for Gates to admit his regret over language. He also showed his habits at home and personal insights.‎ Last February, Gates said he likes to do the dishes himself—to his own special standards every night and also told the interviewer that his wife, Melinda, would likely want Samuel L. Jackson to play her husband in a biopic(传记片).‎ He also admitted that he would pick up a $100 bill if he found it on the street.‎ As he took the top spot on Forbes(福布斯)28th Annual Billionaires list last year for the fourth time, he said he is pretty basic when it comes to so ending on clothes and food, but that he enjoys investing in shoes and racquets(球拍)when he plays tennis.‎ When asked a life lesson he had to learn the hard way, the billionaire said staying up too late is a habit he is still trying to break. “Don’t stay up too late even if the book is really exciting. You will regret it in the morning. Pam still working on this problem,” he said.‎ ‎29． Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?‎ A. An Interview with Bill Gates B. How Bill Gates Succeeded C. Bill Gates’ Regret D. The Richest Billionaire ‎30． The underlined part in Paragraph 8 may actually mean that_____.‎ A. it is important to lay a good foundation of life B. food and clothing are basic needs for people’s life C. he doesn’t spend much money on food and clothes D. he never cares about buying food and clothing ‎31．What advice did Bill Gates give?‎ A. Avoid staying up too late.‎ B. Be a good language learner.‎ C. Do the dishes yourself at home.‎ D. Pick up the $100 bills in the streets.‎ ‎32．Which of the following is true according to the passage?‎ A. Bill Gates is also the founder of Facebook B. Bill Gates topped the list of Forbes 28 times.‎ C. Bill Gates was good at learning languages in high schoo1.‎ D. Bill Gates’ wife wants Samuel to play a game with Gates.‎ People in the United States honor their parents with two special days：Mother’s Day, on the second Sunday in May, and Father’s Day, on the third Sunday in June. These days are set aside to show love and respect for parents. They raise their children and educate them to be responsible (有责任感的) citizens. They give love and care. These two days make us think about the changing roles of mothers and fathers. More mothers now work outside the home. More fathers must help with child care.‎ These two special days are celebrated in many different ways. On Mother’s Day people wear carnations. A red one symbolizes a living mother. A white one shows that the mother is dead. Many people attend religious services to honor parents. It is also a day when people whose parents are dead visit the cemetery (墓地).On these days families get together at home, as well as in restaurants. They often have outdoor barbecues for Father’s Day. These are days of fun and good feelings and memories.‎ Another tradition is to give cards and gifts. Children make them in school. Many people make their own presents. These are valued more than the ones bought in stores. It is not the value of the gift that is important, but it is “the thought that counts”. Greeting card stores, florists, candy makers, bakeries, telephone companies, and other stores do a lot of business during these holidays.‎ ‎33．Which of the following is NOT a reason for children to show love and respect for parents?‎ A. Parents bring up children.‎ B. Parents give love and care to children.‎ C. Parents educate children to be good persons.‎ D. Parents pass away before children grow up.‎ ‎34．What do you think “florists” do?‎ A. They sell flowers.‎ B. They make and sell bread.‎ C. They offer enough room for having family parties.‎ D. They sell special gifts for Mother’s Day and Father’s Day.‎ ‎35．What do you know from the passage?‎ A. Mother’s Day and Father’s Day are both in May.‎ B. Fewer women worked outside the home in the past.‎ C. Not all the children respect their parents D. Fathers are not as important as mothers at home.‎ ‎36．On Mother’s Day and Father’s Day, ________.‎ A. people usually have family parties B. everyone goes to visit the cemetery C. children always go to parents’ home D. hand-made cards are the most valuable gifts 三、完形填空 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。‎ My wife Andrea and I picked a great time to move to New York City just a few days before the super storm Sandy hit the place.‎ Although Sandy _________ my family to stay indoors for two days while the wind and rubbish swirled through my new neighborhood, it _________ some unusual opportunities for us to meet our _________ by serving them.

The study’s results show that food dropped for five seconds is less likely to contain bacteria than if it sits there for longer, according to Hilton.‎ The students also found that the type of flooring where the dropped food lands has an effect. 58． Bacteria are most likely to transfer from tiled (铺瓷砖的) surfaces to moist food when the food has stood there for more than five seconds.‎ ‎59． Therefore, consumers should still be cautious. “However, the findings of this study will ‎ bring some light relief to those who have been employing the five-second rule for years, despite a general consensus that it is purely a myth,” professor Hilton said in a statement.‎ The research team at Aston also surveyed 500 people to find out who employs the five-second rule. Of the people surveyed, 87% said they would eat food dropped on the floor, or have done so in the past. 60． “Our study showed people are also more likely to follow the five-second rule, which our research has shown to be much more than an old wives’ tale,” Hilton says.‎ Still, scientists say you should be careful about eating food dropped on the floor, especially if you have doubts about the cleanliness of the surface. 61．‎ A. But is that true?‎ B. Carpeted surfaces posed the lowest risk.‎ C. Of those people, the majority were women.‎ D. We’ve just lost our last excuse to eat food off the floor.‎ E. Usually people recover from the infection in five to ten days.‎ F. There is still a risk of infection if certain bacteria are present on the dropped surface.‎ G. A biologist points out that one in six Americans get sick from food poisoning every year.‎ 五、短文改错 ‎62．短文改错 假如英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌的以下作文。文中共有10处错误，每句中最多有两处。错误涉及单词的增加、删除或修改。‎ 增加：在缺词处加一个漏词符号∧，并在此符号下面写出该加的词。‎ 删除：把多余的词用斜线＼划掉。‎ 修改：在错词下面划一横线，并在该词下面写出修改后的词。‎ 注意： 1、每处错误及其修改均仅限一词； 2、只允许修改10处，多者从第11处不计分 All parents wish their children, especially senior high students, can go to top universities and have a bright future. So they always expects their children to make fully use of their time to study. They don’t allow them watch TV, play computer games or go out to play with their friends. Some students just complained that their parents are only concerned about their grades but not their other need.‎ To my opinion, how our parents are doing is out of nothing but the love. The most important thing, I think, is that they should learn to communicate with our parents, telling them that we’ll never let them down and will work harder to earn trust and respect from them.‎ 七、书面表达 ‎63．短文写作 假如你是李华，你的外国朋友Jim问你什么是“广场舞”。请写一封回信介绍：‎ ‎1. 什么是广场舞；‎ ‎2. 广场舞的利与弊；‎ ‎3. 你认为该如何协调老年人健身的需求与其他人休息的需要。‎ 注意：‎ ‎1. 词数100左右；‎ ‎2. 可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯；‎ ‎3. 开头与结语已给出，不算入字数。‎ Dear Jim,‎ I’ve received your letter inquiring square dancing.‎ ‎___________________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎___________________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎___________________________________________________________________________________‎ Sincerely yours,‎ Li Hua 参考答案 ABADA ABCAD ACDDB CAADB ‎21．A ‎22．D ‎23．C ‎24．B ‎25．C ‎26．A ‎27．D ‎28．D ‎29．C ‎30．C ‎31．A ‎32．C ‎33．D ‎34．A ‎35．B ‎36．A ‎37．C ‎38．C ‎39．B ‎40．D ‎41．A ‎42．A ‎43．B ‎44．C ‎45．D ‎46．D ‎47．B ‎48．A ‎49．B ‎50．A ‎51．B ‎52．D ‎53．C ‎54．A ‎55．D ‎56．C ‎57．A ‎58．B ‎59．F ‎60．C ‎61．G ‎62.‎ ‎【小题1】can---could ‎【小题2】expects--- expect ‎【小题3】fully-- full ‎【小题4】them后面加to ‎【小题5】complained--- complain ‎【小题6】need--- needs ‎【小题7】how--- what ‎【小题8】To--- In ‎【小题9】去掉but后面的the ‎【小题10】they---we ‎63．‎ Dear Jim,‎ I’ve received your letter inquiring square dancing.‎ In China, some retired people gather on the square or in the park to dance together in the early morning or evening. People call it square dancing. It is a good way of keeping fit, especially for the elderly. However, the noise caused by the loud music really affects the normal life and study of residents living nearby. Besides, square dancing takes up too many public places, like parks and squares, annoying other users. Considering the current situation, I think that the dancers should keep the music down to an acceptable level, and arrange their dancing time properly. What’s more, in order to reduce the inconvenience to others, organizers should carefully choose suitable places to dance in and more importantly, dancers and residents should learn to tolerate, understand and respect each other.‎ Sincerely yours,‎ Li Hua
