inspired the American music industry with her success．‎ When Taylor Swift first came to public notice，she was a 17﹣year﹣old newcomer who loved singing to her own guitar．She was far more enthusiastic

nearest big hospital so when his wife got cancer several years ago Norm was faced with a four and a half hour drive to where she could be treated．That meant lots of expense for meals，fuel，hotels and so on but in the end the cancer took his wife anyway．‎ Norm was obviously very stricken by his wife's passing but he was also very angry because he realized that other people were facing the same sorts of hardships．He wanted to do something but he didn't want to give money to the charities（慈善机构）that support cancer research because he didn't know how much of it would actually get to the researchers．What he did was start to hold parties．‎ About every three weeks on Saturday evenings there is a party in Norm's garden．Neighbours，friends and relatives come and bring snacks and drinks；many bring instruments，there is music and lancing and at some point during the evening Norm tells about a family he has found who are having difficulties meeting the cost of supporting a cancer patient undergoing treatment far from home．Then a honey﹣pail is passed around and the money collected，every cent of it，goes directly to that family．‎ Norm's passion to help the families of other

Kondo is an expert on organizing and cleaning．She is considered all expert on clearing away unused or unnecessary things，better known as clutter．Actually，she did write a book on the issue，which is called"The Life﹣Changing Magic of Tidying Up"．Her book is a best﹣seller around the world．It has sold more than 2 million copies．‎ Marie Kondo says people can improve their lives by changing the way they think about all their stuff﹣everything from books，documents and photographs to clothing and personal mementoes．"Her book is a best﹣seller around the world"And this is pretty good．"Ms．Kondo writes．‎ This is not the first time an organizing expert has written a book on clutter．Other books suggest wonderful things will happen when you organize your home．One book says that if you throw out 50 things from your home，you will actually find your life．Another book says that if you make clutter disappear，you will also lose weight．And still others promise a better job，more money and a perfect family if you simply organize the things that fin your life．Marie Kondo makes some of the same claims．She told the Business Insider website that some of her clients have lost weight．"Your self﹣perception is impr oved by living in a clean and neat room，"she said．"This can change lifestyles and，in turn，appearances．"‎ Marie Kondo teaches a method of organizing she calls KonMari．It is more of an event or ceremony．This is the part that followers say makes it more lasting．Ms．Kondo says KonMari creates a different relationship between you and your possessions．If the object meant something to you or served you well，you thank it for its service before throwing or giving it away．In her book，Ms．Kondo suggests that you touch the item and ask one simple question："Does it bring me joy？"If it doesn't，you give it away so that it may give joy to someone else．‎ ‎29．What does the word"clutt er"in the first paragraph refer to？　　‎ A．expert on organizing and cleaning ‎ B．unused or unnecessary

American inventor called Elias Howe finally fell asleep．He had been working all night on the design of a sewing machine but he had run into a very difficult problem：It seemed impossible to get the thread to run around the needle without any problems．‎ Though he was tired，Howe slept badly．He turned and turned．Then he had a dream．He dreamt that he had been caught by terrible savages whose king wanted to kill him and eat him unless he could build a perfect sewing machine．When he tried to do so，Howe ran into the same problem as before．The thread kept getting caught around the needle．The king flew into the cage and ordered his soldiers to kill Howe．They came up towards him with their spears raised．But suddenly the inventor noticed something．There was a hole in the tip of each spear．The inventor awoke from the dream，realizing that he had just found the answer to the problem．Instead of trying to get the thread to run around the needle，he should make it run through a small hole in the center of the needle．This was the simple idea that finally made Howe design and build the first really practised sewing machine．‎ Elias Howe was not the only one in finding the answer to his problem in this way．Thomas Edison，the inventor of the electric light，said his best ideas came into him in dreams．So did the great physicist Albert Einstein．Charlotte Bronte also drew in her dreams in writing Jane Eyre．‎ To know the value of dreams，you have to understand what happens when you are asleep．Even then，a part of your mind is still working．This unconscious（无意识的），but still active part understands your experiences and goes to work on the problems you have had during the day．It stores all sorts of information that you may have forgotten or never have really noticed．It is only when you fall asleep that this part of the brain can send messages to the part you use when you are awake．However，the unconscious part acts in a special way．It uses strange images which the conscious part may not understand at first．This is why dreams are sometimes called"secret messages to us"．‎ ‎33．The problem Howe was trying to solve was　　．‎ A．what kind of thread to use B．how to design a needle which would not break C．where to put the needle D．how to stop the thread from getting caught around the needle ‎34．Thomas Edison is spoken of because　　．‎ A．he also tried to invent a sewing machine ‎ B．he got some of his ideas from dreams C．he was one of Howe's best friends ‎ D．he also had difficulty in falling asleep ‎35．Dreams are sometimes called"secret messages to ourselves"because　　．‎ A．strange images are used to communicate ideas B．images which have no meaning are used C．we can never understand the real meaning D．only specially trained people can understand them．‎ 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。‎ For people with thousands of pages to read，speed reading seems like a manna （甘露） from heaven．In addition，speed reading helps lighten the load of information you have to absorb since it provides a filter that you can use in screening all bits of information before you approach them．‎ ‎（36）　　Examining how much information you need will help you identify how you should read a certain document to maximize your learning and comprehension．Thorough reading may no longer be necessary in some cases，such as when you only need an outline of a certain document．‎ Another skill that can ease the burden of a reader is the ability to read words in blocks．Make sure you do not spend too long on a certain block．（37）　　This will also make reading less tiresome and boring．‎ To master this important skill，you have to practice reading more and more words in a certain block at one time．A suggestion shared by some experts regarding this step is to increase the distance between you and the document you are reading．If you can read more and more words in one block，you can cut down on the time it usually takes you to read a certain text and you will be able to read more in a shorter period．‎ Readers should also practice reducing the number of times they go back to previous sections or blocks．Using a pointer such as the tip of a pencil or pen can also help to make the flow of your reading smoother and faster．（38）　　Thus，your speed in reading will largely depend on the speed of the movement of your pointer．‎ If you still find yourself confused about the topic even after you have finished reading the document，do not re﹣read right away．Re﹣reading immediately will just lead to slower speed in reading．（39）　　Getting your own reading corner will also help．‎ ‎（40）　　Continue practicing and practicing the techniques aforementioned and soon，you'll achieve the reading speed that will work best for you．‎ A．In this technique，your eyes will follow the tip of the pointer．‎ B．This saves time and reduces the effort that you have to make．‎ C．Taking a short break first is recommended before reading the material again．‎ D．As a final note，the most important point is consistent and deliberate practice．‎ E．Your invaluable time can be saved if you can have your reading speed doubled．‎ F．The first step to increase your reading speed is to identify the specific information you need．‎ G．Reducing the time you spend on a specific number of words in a block will make no difference．‎ 第三部分 英语知识运用(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）‎ You may have
