12.Rosalia Mera,the world’s richest self-made woman has died at the age of 69in August,2013.She started as a poor Spanish seamstress(a woman clothes maker),and later founded the well-known fashion retailer(零售商)Zara.Mera was the richest woman in Spain with a worth of S 6,100,000,000.Mera was seriously ill while on holiday and died in a hospital in the town where she was born,La Coruna in northern Spain.
Having left school at 11years old,Mera worked as a seamstress as a teenager before setting up a company,which would grow into one of the biggest clothes retailers in the world.Today the brand (品牌) name sits above 1,763Zara stores around the world.

分析 翻譯:
在2013八月,Rosalia Mera,世界白手起家女首富死了,享年69歲.她開始時是一個貧窮的西班牙女裁縫,后來創(chuàng)立了著名的時裝零售商Zara.Mera身價6,100,000,000,是在西班牙最富有的女人.度假時Mera的病很嚴重,死在她出世的在西班牙北部拉科魯尼亞的小鎮(zhèn)的醫(yī)院里.在11歲離開學校,在設立公司之前,Mera做一個十幾歲的青少年裁縫一樣的工作,長大后成為世界上最大的服裝零售商.今天這個品牌名字坐落在世界各地有1763家ZARA店.Zara模式成熟的想法來自Mera的第一次交易:生產(chǎn)快速和廉價的仿制品.Mera是被叫做這個領域“快時尚”第一批的成員之一.盡管她極其富有,Mera呆在家附近的地方,經(jīng)常可以在加利西亞的酒吧看到她與朋友和鄰居說話.

解答 61.根據(jù)文中第一段最后一句Mera was seriously ill while on holiday and died in a hospital in the town where she was born,La Coruna in northern Spain.可知她的故鄉(xiāng)是西班牙.故答案為:Spain
62.根據(jù)文中第一段第二句She started as a poor Spanish seamstress(a woman clothes maker),and later founded the well-known fashion retailer(零售商)Zara.觀察到maker轉化成making,因而將retailer名詞化單詞轉化成動詞retail,再加ing.故答案為:retailing
63.根據(jù)文中三處提到Zara這個品牌.第一處She started as a poor Spanish seamstress(a woman clothes maker),and later founded the well-known fashion retailer(零售商)Zara.第二處 Today the brand (品牌) name sits above 1,763 Zara stores around the world.第三處The Zara model grew up from the idea that first sent Mera into business:producing speedy and cheap imitations(仿制品).可知品牌名稱為Zara.故答案為:Zara
64.根據(jù)文中第二段最后一句Today the brand (品牌) name sits above 1,763 Zara stores around the world.可知有1763家店.故答案為:1,763
65.根據(jù)文中第一句Rosalia Mera,the world’s richest self-made woman has died at the age of 69 in August,2013.可知她死時69歲.故答案為:69

"Oh,Tom.You're still playing on that computer game.You must stop now,because it's half past eleven.If you don't go to bed soon,you'll be very tired tomorrow."Said Mrs.White.

Today more and more families have computers.Parents hope computers can help their children improve their study at school.But many of their children use computers to play games,listen to songs and watch videos instead of studying.We often see that computer net bars are crowded with people,especially young boys.They spend a lot of money competing(競爭) with the computerized(用計算機控制的) machines.The more they lose,the more they want to win.The result is that they don't'want to work or study.
In some countries,even scientists hate computers.They say computers cause millions of people to lose their jobs or cause them a lot of trouble.Computer game addiction(癮) is a serious problem in social life.Something should have to be done to solve the problem.

7.How green are you?Do you know how to be green?
   We all need a healthy environment,but we produce waste every day and h is harmful to our environment.Though we are young,we can still do something to help.Here are some ideas for you.
   Reduce
   Reduce means"use less".Don't waste things.This saves money and reduces pollution.Before we buy something new,think whether it is really necessary-or maybe the old one is still useful.
   Reuse
   Reuse means"use again".When we buy things,make sure that they can last a long time.When something is broken,we should repair it instead of throwing it away and buying a new one.Don't use a paper cup or a paper bag.It's better to use a china (瓷) cup and a lunch box because you can use them again.
   Recycle
   Recycle means"change things into something else".Though it takes energy to change something into something else,it's better than throwing things away or burning them.
   So please remember these words:reduce,reuse and recycle.

56.What is the passage about?C
A.How to produce things.         
B.How to burn things.
C.How to be green.               
D.How to help others.

A.Always throw away old things.   
B.Don't waste things.
C.Always buy new things.         
D.Never buy new things.
58.The underlined word"last"means"B".
A.中斷        
B.持續(xù)          
C.終止        
D.湊合

1.Are you shy?If you are,you are not alone.In fact,close to 50percent of people are shy.Almost 80percent of people feel shy at some point in their lives.These days,shyness is becoming more and more common.Now,scientists are trying to understand shyness.They have some interesting ideas about why people are shy.
Is it possible to be born shy?Many scientists say yes.They say 15to 20percent of babies behave shyly.These babies are a little quieter and more watchful than other babies.Interestingly,these shy babies usually have shy parents.As a result,scientists think that some shyness is genetic.
Family size might cause people to be shy as well.Scientists at Harvard University studied shy children.They found that 66percent of them had older brothers and sisters.As a result,they became shy.At the same time,children with no brothers and sisters may be shy as well.Growing up alone,they often play by themselves.They are not able to learn the same social skills as children from big families.
You may also be shy because of where you were born.When scientists studied shyness in different countries.They found surprising differences.In Japan,most people said they were shy.But in Israel,only one of three people said so.What explains the difference?One scientist says the Japanese and Israelis have different opinions of failure.In Japan,when people do not succeed,they feel bad about themselves.They blame(責備)themselves for their failure.In Israel,the opposite is true.Israelis often blame failure on outside reasons,such as family,teachers,friends,or bad luck.In Israel,freedom of opinion and risk taking are strongly supported.This may be why Israelis worry less about failure and are less shy.
For shy people,it can be difficult to make friends,speak in class,and even get a good job.But scientists say you can get over your shyness.They suggest trying new things and practicing conversation.And don't forget---if you are shy,you are not the only one.
50.What is the passage mainly about?B
A.Happiness.B.Shyness.C.Kindness.D.loneliness.
51.What does the underlined word"genetic"in paragraph 2probably mean?A
A.Passed down from parents.B.Learned from friends.
C.Taught by teachers.D.Made up by brothers.
52.What can be learned from the passage?C
A.Most little babies are born shy and quiet.
B.If you are shy now,you will be shy forever.
C.Many shy children have older brothers and sisters.
D.Most Israeli people are shy of expressing opinions.
53.We can learn from the passage thatB may cause shyness.
A.genetics,grown--ups and birthplaceB.genetics,family size and birthplace
C.family size,grown--ups and failureD.genetics,family size and freedom
54.Scientists suggest that shy people can get over their shyness byB.
A.blaming their failure on outside reasons
B.trying new things and practicing conversation
C.getting themselves away from their shy parents
D.trying to understand reasons for their shyness
