第二部分 阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)
第一节 (共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A. B. C. D)中选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
The holiday season always means you need to get some shopping done. People tend to buy impulsively (冲动地) for either an exciting product or an exciting price. Whether you are shopping online or in physical stores, here are some tips for you to control your impulses and stay within your budget.
- 13 -
Physical stores are often designed or arranged to be full of temptations. Basic or cheaper products are at the back of the store, where shoppers can’t access them without first meeting more expensive products. Some stores are perfumed because pleasant smell has been shown to make people more impulsive. But if you have a plan and visit the stores with a more defined idea of what you want, then these tricks won’t work on you.
Set up some rules for yourself. The Wall Street Journal recently followed some Americans into a grocery store, and observed their decisions. Some couples make a point of shopping together, so they can put checks on each other’s impulse. Others avoid using shopping carts, because they’re cautious of feeling the need to fill them up.
Another Wall Street Journal column advises consumers to wait 20 minutes before buying. It takes about that long to cool off when we find a hot purchase. The column also advises shoppers to think about what they’re giving up to buy the product ― such as the peace of mind of no credit card balance, or a vacation or a car.
Don’t shop when you are hungry or tired because we tend to confuse our needs. Avoid paying with apps or even using credit cards. When people can see real money leaving their hands it has a cooling effect on impulsive purchasing.
When you are shopping on line, spending too much time digging through reviews can lead to over-thinking purchases and obsessing over factors that don’t really matter, warns an article in the Atlantic, so don’t do that. Sometimes, shopping around helps us choose the better deal, despite what we actually prefer.
21. To tempt people to shop, physical stores may ____.
A. tie colorful presents to the goods
B. make the store full of fragrant smells
C. place expensive products at the back of the store
D. lay cheaper supplies near the entrance of the store
22. The underlined part in the last paragraph means _____.
A. continuously wondering B. eagerly looking for
C. quickly deciding D. timely ignoring
23. What can we learn from the passage?
A. 20 seconds before buying helps cool your impulse off.
B. Physical condition has little effect on impulsive purchasing.
C. Paying with apps or credit cards becomes more popular.
D. Shopping around may contribute to the better deals.
24. According to the passage, we can avoid purchasing impulsively except ____.
A. by studying online purchase reviews carefully
B. by going shopping with an economical person
C. by refusing the goods for sale in the stores
- 13 -
D. by trying to use cash to pay for the goods
B
Chocolate is as big a part of American culture as baseball and apple pie. But its roots run much deeper.
Made from the seed of the tropical cacao tree, chocolate dates back at least 3,000 years to the ancient civilizations of Central and South America, where the cacao tree is native. The Aztec people valued the tree’s cocoa beans so much that they used them as currency.
Cheri Friedman knows how much America loves chocolate. She is co-owner of Kron Chocolatiers, a small, smart chocolate shop that opened 32 years ago in Washington D. C. “I think it’s one of the best comfort foods there is.” Friedman says she takes pride in the fact that Kron’s chocolates are made with the finest ingredients.
Americans’ love of chocolate has helped to make it a big business in this country. Mark Sesler is senior vice president of marketing at Russell Stover Candies, one of the largest manufacturers（生产商） of chocolate in the U.S.
According to Sesler, the industry got its start in the early 1900s with small-scale chocolatiers such as Steven Whitman, and Claire and Russell Stover. They started with small stores --- much like Kron--- but soon expanded their business into broader markets --- thanks, Sesler notes, to an important technological advance. But that melt-in-your-mouth feeling comes at a price. Chocolate as we know today is made with lots of sugar and milk, both very high in calories. That’s given chocolate a rather bad reputation among nutritionists.
In recent years, however, research has proved that chocolate, particularly dark chocolate, is also naturally rich in cancer-fighting antioxidants – a fact that chocolate manufacturers like Russell Stover are happily promoting.
25. Why can Mark Sesler’s business be expanded?
A. For it has many cooperators such as Kron and Claire.
B. For Americans’ love of chocolate and the advanced technology.
C. For it started with small stores.
D. For its products can serve as medicines for some special patients.
26. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. Chocolate can help cancer patient recover.
B. Dark chocolate is rich in sugar and milk.
C. Russell Stover likes the finding for the sake of its own business.
D. Russell Stover helps promote the finding for people’s health.
27. How does the author introduce the topic that chocolate is a big part of American culture?
A. By presenting research findings.
B. By analyzing cause and effect.
C. By making a comparison and giving examples.
D. By explaining and analyzing some facts.
28. What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. Americans’ longstanding love of chocolate.
B. Origin of the manufacture of modern chocolate.
- 13 -
C. Introduction of American chocolate manufacturers.
D. Information to promote the benefits of chocolate.

It may not be New Zealand’s capital, but it claims superiority in everything from pretty natural scenery to mouthwatering food and exciting entertainment. Welcome to Auckland – a city of sights and adventures.
Sandwiched between two harbors, Auckland is known for its seas. Check out the Viaduct Harbor, which was built in 1995, when New Zealand hosted the America’s Cup, a world famous sailing competition. From here, it’s easy to see why Auckland is called the “City of Sails” – with around 135,000 boats, there are more boats per person than any other city in the world. Even if you are not a surfer, you can still get on a commuter ferry(通勤轮渡) to explore the piercing blue sea.
Auckland is also defined by its volcanoes. Among the 48 volcanic cones(火山堆)，many are surrounded by green parklands, making them perfect family picnic spots.
If you want to see a panoramic view of New Zealand’s largest city, just go up to the Sky Tower which is 328 meters high, the tallest man-made point in the Southern Hemisphere. If action is more your thing, you can see the city in an entirely different way by bungee jumping from the top of the high structure.
A taste bud adventure is another must. The city’s fresh seafood means you will be bowing to your fork on arrival. And though traditional European cooking dominates(主导), a flowing of Asian immigrants has given the food scene an extra kick.
29. Which is NOT correct of Auckland?[Z-x-x-k.Com]
A. The number of the boats owned by each citizen in Auckland is the biggest in the world.
B. Auckland enjoys a great fame for its sandwiches.
C. A commuter ferry is provided to help explore the piercing blue sea.
D. People from home and abroad are attracted by the adventures and sights in Auckland.
30. What does the underlined word mean in the 4th paragraph?
A. overall B. fantastic C. prosperous D. unique
31. What can we infer from the last sentence?
A. The Asian immigrants changed the traditional European cooking here.
B. The Asian immigrants dislike the food scenes here.
C. The Asian immigrants has kicked New Zealand’s traditional cooking style.
D. The Asian immigrants make Asian foods popular here.
D
On April 8, Tumblr, a microblogging site owned by Yahoo, became the largest website to declare that it had been hit by the “Heartbleed Bug” and urged users to change not just their passwords for Tumblr, but for all their other online accounts, too. But security experts warned that such a move could be useless because if the website has not fixed the problem, hackers(黑客）could just as easily steal the new password.
Although security analysts didn’t go as far as telling users to stay off the
- 13 -
Internet completely, they said users should avoid doing anything sensitive like online banking.
According to a recent study by Risk Based Security, a threat research firm, there were more than 2,000 data security attacks in 2013. The good news is that the number was down from 2012, when more than 3,000 incidents were reported. The bad news is that the smaller number of attacks in 2013 resulted in more damage – about 814 million data records were exposed during the year, about twice as many as in any other previous year on record.
According to Farhad Manjoo in a New York Times column, the numbers point to another factor that adds to the difficulty in locating digital threats: attackers are clever. Advances in security are matched by advances in attacks. If you fix one Internet security bug, you can be sure that attackers will just find another, more dangerous one.
Does this mean we can do nothing about it? Not necessarily, says Manjoo. Large hackers are receiving more attention, which might push the industry and consumers to take security more seriously. Security threats are gaining increasingly coverage in the media and average people are now talking about how to safeguard their systems.
32. Which is NOT the reason for the difficulty in locating digital threats?
A. More data records exposure. B. High intelligent attackers.
C. Fewer Internet security bugs. D. People’s lack of security awareness.
33. How did the author prove that the safety situation in 2013 was even worse?
A. By presenting examples. B. By listing figures.
C. By analyzing causes. D. By making experiments.
34. How does the author feel towards the future of Internet security?
A. Optimistic. B. Doubtful. C. Disappointed. D. Indifferent.
35. The purpose of this passage is to ______.
A. inform people of a new study on Internet safety
B. criticize Internet hackers’ illegal behavior
C. advise people to change their passwords frequently
D. arouse people’s awareness of the serious Internet safety situation

I have collected some examples that should be an inspiration to anyone who desires to be successful. They show that if you want to succeed you should expect failure along the way. I actually believe that failure can encourage you on and make you try even harder. 36 The truly successful men won’t be beaten. They take responsibility for failure, learn from it and start all over from a stronger position.
Walt Disney --- one of the greatest business leaders who created the global Disney empire of film studios, theme parks and consumer products didn’t start off successful. 37 Believe it or not, Walt was fired from an early job at the Kansas City Star

Newspaper because he was not creative enough! In 1922 he started his first company called Laugh-O-Gram. The Kansas based on business would produce cartoons and short advertising films. 38 Walt didn’t give up. He packed up, went to Hollywood and started The Walt Disney Company.
Bill Gates --- co-founder and chairman of Microsoft set up a business called Traf-O-Data. The partnership between him, Paul Allen and Paul Gilbert was based on a good idea but a flawed business model that left the company with few customers. 39 However, Bill Gates and Paul Allen took what they learned and avoided those mistakes when they created the Microsoft empire.
40 I hope that these are inspiration and motivation for everyone who aspires to successful in whatever way they choose.
A. So, the one thing successful people never do is: Give up!
B. In 1923, the business went bankrupt.
C. He was greatly depressed.
D. Every experience of failure increases the hunger of success.
E. The company ran up losses between 1974 and 1980 before it was closed.

Composition:
Dear classmates,
I feel greatly honored to give a speech here. My topic is “Competition and Cooperation”. As we all know, competition exists in every aspect of our life. Competition plays an important role in our daily life. Moreover, the more developed society is, the fiercer the competition will be.
On the other hand, competition is closely connected with cooperation. In fact, competition often goes hand in hand with cooperation. Competition promotes cooperation and cooperation in turn is more likely to lead to success in competition.
In a word, we must attach great importance to cooperation. And we should always bear in mind that no one is an island. Therefore, we need to learn to be cooperative in a team. Most tasks are finished by a cooperative team. Teamwork matters a lot and
- 13 -
cooperation is a key factor to win.
Thanks for your attention.
