15.I was as normal as other children,totally exposed to brilliant sunshine and splendid world.However,I became blind at four after falling off a box car in a yard and landing on my head.Now I am thirty-two.I can slightly remember the brightness of sunshine and what color red is.It would be wonderful to see again,but a calamity(災(zāi)難) can do strange things to people.It occurred to me the other day that I might not have come to love life as I do if I hadn't been blind.I don't mean that I would prefer to go without my eyes.I simply mean that the loss of them made me appreciate the more what I had left.
  Life,I believe,asks adjustments to reality.The more readily a person is able to make these adjustments,the more meaningful his own private world becomes.The adjustment is never easy.I was totally confused and frightened.But luckily,my parents and teacher saw my potential to live,and they made me want to fight it out with blindness.
  The hardest lesson I had to learn was to believe in myself.That was basic.If I hadn't been able to do that,I would have broken down and become a chair rocker on the front porch for the rest of my life.When I say belief in myself,I am not talking about simply the kind of self confidence that helps me down an unfamiliar staircase alone,but something bigger than that:an assurance that I am,despite imperfections,a real,positive person; that somewhere in the complicated pattern of people there is a special place where I can make myself fit.
  It took me years to discover and strengthen this assurance.It had to start with the simplest things.Once a man gave me an indoor baseball and urged me to roll it around.His words stuck in my head."Roll it around!"By rolling the ball I could hear where it went.This gave me an idea how to achieve a goal I had thought impossible:playing baseball.Later I invented a successful variation of baseball-groundball.
  I have set a series of goals and tried to reach them,one at a time.It was no good trying for something that I knew at the start was wildly out of reach because that only invited the bitterness of failure.I would fail sometimes anyway but on the average I made progress.
28.What attitude does the author take to his blindness?B
A.Pessimistic.
B.Optimistic.
C.Desperate.
D.Shameful.
29.According to the passage,which statement is TRUE?D
A.After struggling,the author discovered his potential on his own and began to live with it.
B.The author invented a baseball with the help and encouragement of a kind man.
C.The author happened to be blind due to a car accident.
D.The author would not appreciate life if the calamity hadn't occurred.
30.What is the greatest challenge for the author?C
A.Attempting to adjust himself to reality.
B.Figuring out his own potential to live on one's own.
C.Building up his own confidence so that he can find his place in society.
D.Setting and reaching a series of goals.
31.What is the best title of the passage?A
A.A Disaster Pushes a man forward
B.A Fateful Accident
C.A Sorrowful Life
D.Fighting Against Difficulties.

14.Many people today do not enjoy grocery shopping,but the experience we have is still
many times better than that of the past.
Gone are the days when consumers paid higher prices for the advantage of a painfully
slow shopping experience.In addition to lower prices,supermarkets also offer shoppers added convenience and much quicker service.
In the old days,grocery shopping was quite a bit troublesome.Consumer-sized
packages did not exist,so a clerk had to measure out the exact amount you needed for
everything you bought.This system cost much labor and therefore was rather expensive.
On top of that,the entire experience was extremely time-consuming as,much like buying meat at a butcher shop,the number of shoppers that a store could serve at the same time was limited by the size of its staff.The high labor costs and poor efficiency (效率) were quite a problem for both the industry and its public.
The supermarket is a large departmentalized retail store,offering"one-stop shop"
convenience with housewares,magazines,beauty products,and much more in addition to
the food items sold by traditional stores.Need soap to go with your newspaper and bread?
The supermarket saves you time by providing all three items under one roof.Along with added convenience comes added efficiency.
Shoppers can now fetch what they want from shelves instead of waiting for service.
This in turn reduces the need for additional staff,helping owners to cut costs greatly and to pass the savings back to the consumer.In fact,supermarkets pass so much of the savings back that their margins are razor-thin-only l to 3percent-so to make a profit,they must rely on extremely high turnover rates and keeping operating expenses low,for example,by not offering delivery for one.The result is a quick and painless shopping experience with very reasonable prices.
24.Which of the following is listed as a disadvantage of traditional grocery stores?D
A.Fewer staff members.
B.Less shopping time.
C.Smaller trading profits.
D.Higher operating costs.
25.The underlined word"margins"meansC.
A.savings            B.prices               C,profits             D.expenses
26.Supermarkets don't offer delivery for one becauseA.
A.they want to keep costs down      
B.it isn't a good way to attract consumers
C.there is no demand for such a service  
D.it's the major cause of low efficiency
27.The passage mainly aims to.D
A.introduce the origin of the supermarket
B.discuss the disadvantages of traditional grocery stores
C.explain why the general public hate grocery shopping
D,outline the advantages of supermarkets over traditional groceries.

12.One of my favorite things I like to watch is the bloopers (洋相) and outtakes(花絮) that are shown of mistakes made during the making of a movie.Most DVDs have a section of outtakes,and often they will set me off laughing,especially when you know what was supposed to happen.
We all make mistakes,and have many bloopers and outtakes in a lifetime.Some of them may be funny like movie bloopers,a stupid mistake and we are able to laugh at ourselves.Other outtakes in life,however,are not funny.I am referring to the tragic turns of events that happen in life that can turn our life in a moment.Accidents,disaster,the death of a loved one happen unexpectedly,and can greatly affect our lives.These are outtakes we would prefer not to happen or even replayed in our life.
Times of crisis and tragedy can not be prevented,but how you handle these outtakes will affect the rest of your life.There is always a choice in any crisis.We can choose to feel upset,but keep hopes and move forward,or choose to become stuck in the past.We cannot choose our circumstances,but we do have a choice how we respond to them.We can give in or overcome,and our choice will determine our future.When we drive a car our focus is the road ahead; if we spend all our time looking in the rearview mirror(后視鏡) failure is more or less inevitable(不可避免的)!The same is true in life.We will fail,or at best remain at a standstill if we keep looking back and focusing on the events behind us,reliving the past.

29.The author mentions the outtakes of a movie in the first paragraph becauseA.
A.he wants to direct us to his topic in a natural way
B.they are part of a movie
C.most people have the hobby of watching them
D.he just wants to tell us a story
30.The outtakes in our life are different from those of a movie becauseC.
A.they are more funny      
B.they can be avoided
C.not all of them are funny      
D.they happen more often
31.The purpose of the author is to tell usD
A.the different kinds of outtakes in real life
B.his funny experience in watching a movie
C.what we should learn from the outtakes in real life
D.to choose the right attitude towards outtakes in life
32.What would be the best title for the passage?A
A.Outtakes!Give in or overcome?
B.Outtakes will destroy you.
C.There is always a choice in any crisis.
D.Keep hopes whatever happens.

9.The traditional tent cities at festivals such as Glastonbury may never be the same again.In a victory of green business that is certain to appeal to environmentally-aware music-lovers,a design student is to receive financial support to produce eco-friendly tents made of cardboard that can be recycled after the bands and the crowds have gone home.
Major festivals such as Glastonbury throw away some 10,000abandoned tnts at the end of events each year.For his final year project at the University of the West of England,James Dunlop came up with a material that can be recycled.And to cope with the British summer,the cardboard has been made waterproof.
Taking inspiration from a Japanese architect,who has used cardboard to make big buildings including churches,Mr.Dunlop used cardboard material for his tents,which he called Myhabs.
The design won an award at the annual New Designers Exhibition after Mr.Dunlop graduated from his product design degree and he decided to try to turn it into a business.
To raise money for the idea,he toured the city's private companies which fund new business and found a supporter in the finance group Mint.He introduced his idea to four of Mint's directors and won their support.Mint has committed around£500,000to Myhabs and taken a share of 30percent in Mr.Dunlop's business.The first Myhabs should be tested at festivals this summer,before being marketed fully next year.
Mr.Dunlop said that the design,which accommodates two people,could have other uses,such as for disaster relief and housing for the London Olympics.
For music events,the cardboard houses will be ordered online and put up at the sites by the Myhabs team before the festival-goers arrive and removed by the company afterwards.They can be personalized and the company will offer reductions on the expense if people agree to sell exterior (外部的) advertising space.
The biggest festivals attract tens of thousands of participants,with Glastonbury having some 150,000 each year.Altogether there are around 100annual music festivals where people camp in the UK.The events are becoming increasingly environmentally conscious.

27."Eco-friendly tents"in Pararaph 1refer to tentsB.
A.economically desirable           B.favorable to the environment
C.for holding music performances   D.designed for disaster relief
28.Mr.Dunlop established his businessC.
A.independently with an interest-free loan from Mint
B.with the approval of the City's administration
C.in partnership with a finance group
D.with the help of a Japanese architect
29.It is implied in the passage thatC.
A.the weather in the UK is changeable in summer
B.most performances at British festivals are given in the open air
C.the cardboard tents produced by Mr.Dunlop can be user-tailored
D.cardboard tents can be easily put up and removed by users
30.Which of the following would be the best title for the text?D
A.Don't Use Tents Again        B.The Advantages of Tents
C.How to Produce Tents         D.The Development of Recyclable Tents.

8.(31)E.You probably think you will never be a top student.This is not necessary so,however.Anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to.Here's how:
(1)Plan your time carefully.When you plan your week,you should make a list of things that you have to do.After making this list,you should make a schedule of your time.First your time for eating,sleeping,dressing,etc.then decid a good,regular time for studying.(32)BA weekly schedule may not solve all your problems,but it will force you to realize what is happening to your time.
(2)Find a good place to study.Lok around the house for a good study area.Keep this space,which may be a desk or simply a corner of your room,free of everything but study materials.No games,radios,or television!When you sit down to study,concentrate on the subject.
(3)Make good use of your time in class.(33)C.Really listening in class means less work later.Taking notes will help you remember what the teacher says.
(4)Study regularly.When you get home from school,goover your notes,review the important points that your teacher is going to discuss the next day,read that material.(34)GIf you do these things regularly,the material will become more meaningful,and you will remember it longer.
(5)Develop a good attitude about tests.The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject.They help you remember your new knowledge.The world won't end if you don't pass a test,so don't be over worried.
(35)A.You will probably discover them after you have tried these.

A.There are other methods that might help you with your studying.
B.Don't forget to set aside enough time for entertainment.
C.Take advantage of class time to listen to everything the teachers say
D.No one can become a top student unless he or she works hard.
E.Maybe you are an average student.
F.Make full useof class time to take notes of what the teacher says in class.

The research team said that psychologists (心理學(xué)家) have long believed that an experience's strongest part (the peak (高峰) ) and last part (the end) decide what we think about the quality of that experience.
For their study,lead researcher David Just,PhD,and his colleagues decided to test whether this idea changes depending on how much we pay for an experience.In this case (情況),the experience was eating at a restaurant.
The researchers invited 139people to an all-you-can-eat Italian restaurant.The ubjects were put in two groups:the people in one group were charged 4(26yuan)fortheirmeals,whiletheotherswerecharged8.
After eating,everyone was asked to rate (評(píng)價(jià)) the taste,enjoyment and satisfaction of each slice (切片) of pizza they ate,then rate the overall (全部的) experience.
The team found that when it came to overall enjoyment and taste of the pizza for subjects who paid 4fortheirmeal,thepeak-endideawastrue;theyratedtheoverallexperiencebasedonthepeakratingoftasteandthelastslicetheyate.Theparticipants(參與者)whopaid8for their meal,however,rated their overall experience based only on what they thought of the first slice of pizza they ate.
The team said their findings suggested that other things can change what you pay attention to in judging quality.This study,for example,found that how we judge a meal may be greatly affected by the price we pay for it.
"It is really incredible  how simply increasing the price can lead one to focus so much less on the end experience and so much more on the first impression,"Just told Medical News Today.
He also said that restaurants could use these results to improve their prformance:businesses charging high prices could do better if they gave their customers the best experience first,while lower-priced business may be better off saving the best for last.

28.We can conclude from the research mentioned in the article thatB.
A.lower prices for fod always mean a better experience for customers
B.how much people pay for their food could change their judgment of their eating    experience
C.people tend to decide the quality of their food based on the way it first tastes
D.a(chǎn)sking people to pay more for their food could improve their eating experience
29.The underlined word"incredible"in the second to last paragraph probably meansC.
A.doubtful     B.expected         C.surprising     D.impossible
30.According to the study,first-class restaurants can improve their performance byD.
A.charging their customers less for the food
B.saving the best dishes for the last
C.following strict standards to improve the quality of their food
D.presenting their best food to customers first.

6.There are many places to go on safari in Africa,but riding a horse through the flooded waters of Botswana's Okavango Delta must rank as one of the world's most exciting wildlife journeys.
Several safari camps operate as the base for this adventure,providing unique rides twice a day to explore deep into the delta.The camps have excellent horses,professional guides and lots of support workers.They have a reputation for providing a great riding experience.
The morning ride,when the guides take you to beautiful,shallow lakes full of water lilies,tends to be more active.It is unlike any other riding experience.With rainbows forming in the splashing water around you and the sound of huge drops of water bouncing off your body and face.It is truly exciting.You are very likely to come across large wild animals,too.On horseback it is possible to get quite close to elephants,giraffes and many other animals.The sense of excitement and tension levels rise suddenly though,as does your heart rate,as you move closer to them.
In the evening,rides are usually at a more relaxed and unhurried pace.With golden light streaming across the grassy delta and the animals coming out to eat and drink. Sedate though they are,rides at this time of day are still very impressive.As the sun's rays pass through the dust kicked up by the horses,the romance of Africa comes to life.
Back at the camp you can kick off your boots and enjoy excellent food and wine.Looking back on your day,you will find it hard to deny that a horseback Safari is as close as you will ever come to answering the call of the wild.
