Many tourists visiting the USA on vacation enjoy shopping for bargains. You can find many bargains in the US if you know where to shop and how to take advantage of the competitive sales.
Department stores offer good quality and high fashion
Macy’s department stores offer a wide selection of merchandise(商品), including fashion clothing, luggage and jewelry. They normally offer good quality merchandise, well known brands and the latest fashions, but not low quality products at bargain prices. They frequently have seasonal sales with attractive discounts. At such times, you can get high quality or fashion merchandise at bargain prices.
General merchandise stores offer affordable quality
Sears and JCPenny are two large national chains with stores across the US. They are similar to department stores but they do not offer high fashion merchandise or luxury(奢侈的) brands. Instead, they feature good quality merchandise at affordable prices. They are particularly known for their selection of children's clothing and domestic goods. Sears is famous for its selection of tools and garden products.[来源:Z_xx_k.Com]
Discount stores sell at low prices
Discount stores sell some good quality merchandise at affordable prices and some lower quality merchandise at very low prices. If you are not looking for the latest fashions, famous brands, or the best quality, you can find some very inexpensive merchandise at a discount store. Some national discount chains with stores across the US are K-Mart, Wal-Mart, Target and Caldor.
Outlet stores are a bargain hunter's wonderland
Outlet stores or factory outlets sell high quality merchandise and well-known brands at discounted prices.

I was 16 when my father finally decided he would send me to wilderness camp for several months. He had threatened to do it many times before, but my mother had always managed to prevent him from doing so. This time he insisted on doing it.
The latest incident was the last straw. Impulsively(冲动地), I had pushed Mr. Ford, my math teacher, down a flight of steps at school. He broke his arm in two places. Anyway, he had agreed not to accuse me as a favor to my dad, who was in the middle of a tight race for sheriff(执法官) in our town. But my reckless behavior had my dad’s closest advisor talking.
“John, he’s your son and he’s a kid, but he is dragging you down,” I heard Jake Hutch tell my dad through his closed office door the night after I pushed Mr. Ford. “If you can’t make your son obey the rules, how can you make the law obeyed in this town?”[来源:Zxxk.Com]
So, off to Pisgah National Forest I went. I imagined hours of untold abuse at the hands of some strong sergeants(军士). I was determined no to be broken. I was who I was.
Nearly every day for six months, a small group of other troubled teens and I carried our 30-pound backpacks on a difficult journey covering about 10 miles. We hiked in a rough wilderness that seemed untouched by civilization.
Our sergeants were firm but kind, not frightening as I had imagined. We learned how to make a fire without matches and create a shelter with branches and grass. We learned which plants were safe to eat out in the wild. I felt myself change. I was calm and often reflective. My old, impulsive self was gone.
One morning, six months later, my dad came to pick me up. I ran to hug him and saw relief and love in his eyes.
“So what’s it like being sheriff?” I asked on the ride home.
“I lost the race, Danny,” he said.
“I’m sorry, Dad.” I knew my behavior probably had a lot to do with the defeat.
Dad squeezed my shoulder and brought me close. “As long as I don’t ever lose you, I’m okay.”
24. The author was finally sent to wilderness because _____.
A. he could learn how to survive in the wild
B. his teacher insisted on giving him a lesson
C. he pushed his math teacher down the stairs
D. his mother feared that he would be accused
25. The underlined word “reckless” in Paragraph 2 probably means ______.
A. selfish B. careless C. rude D. reasonable
26. What can we learn about the author from the passage?
A. He changed a lot after the camp.
B. He was not satisfied with his life in the camp.
C. He was still what he used to be after the camp.
D. He made enemies with other troubled teens at the camp.
27. How did the author’s father feel at the end of the story?
A. Grateful. B. Annoyed. C. Disappointed D. Relieved
C
You may have experienced the annoyance of being fined because of parking illegally or finding your car towed away(拖走)after leaving it parked somewhere for a couple of minutes.But now a high-tech car sticker that’s designed to be stuck to a car’s windscreen could help motorists avoid such a situation.
The TowStop sticker sends a text message to a driver when touched by a traffic policeman,to allow motorists to send a reply and give them time to move their cars immediately.Frankfurt-based IT consultant,Daniel Kalliontzis,came up with the idea and is raising money to put his £43sticker into production.
Car owners can put the sticker inside their car’s windscreen,having set it up with key information,such as their phone number.The slim design will include a sensor(传感器)that,when touched by a traffic policeman,will send a text message warning a driver of a possible fine.The driver could then type a reply for the policeman using a smartphone,which will appear on the sticker’s screen.
The smart sticker system will rely on the good will of traffic policemen and in a way,a German law.The law states:an officer has to choose the most efficient and inexpensive way for
the car owner to remove the vehicle.It could be cheaper for the government to call the driver than to tow his car.
Mail Online asked the Department of Transport whether the sticker could be used in the UK in a similar way.A spokesman said,“In England there is no legal duty to warn the motorist before issuing the ticket.However,a policeman does have the discretion not to issue a ticket if he doesn’t think the situation is that bad or he just wants to issue a warning.”
So far,Mr.Kalliontzis has raised just over£2,362of his£39,381goal.If he manages to raise the money,the stickers will be shipped in June 2015.But it appears that car owners using the smart system could get some unnecessary warning messages,because anyone could touch the smart sticker.
28.The author wrote the third paragraph to _______________.
A. explain how a smart car sticker works B. advise drivers to buy a car sticker
C. show the importance of a sensor D. tell drivers how to park a car
29.We may infer from the text that in Britain _______________.
A. car owners don’t have to worry about a parking ticket
B. smart car stickers wouldn’t work as well as in Germany
C. traffic policemen prefer to call a driver rather than tow his car
D. the Department of Transport thinks highly of smart car stickers
30.The underlined word “discretion” in Paragraph 5 can best be replaced by“____________”.
A. trouble B. pressure C. freedom D. opportunity
31.What would be the best title for the text?
A. Daniel Kalliontzis — a great inventor B. Environment-friendly car stickers
C. Parking systems in Europe D. End of the parking ticket?
D
With the development of science and technology, new inventions, especially new electronic products, have made people’s lives easy and convenient. But as the saying puts: A coin has two sides.
One day, I was walking in the park with a friend and his cell phone rang, interrupting our conversation. There we were, walking and talking on a beautiful sunny day and…I became invisible, absent from the conversation.
The telephone used to connect you to the absent. Now it makes people sitting next to you feel absent. Why is it that the more connected we get, the more disconnected I feel? Every advance in communications technology is a tragedy to the closeness of human interaction. With email and instant messaging over the Internet, we can now communicate without seeing or talking to one another. With voice mail, you can conduct entire conversations without ever reaching anyone. If my mom has a question, I just leave the answer on her machine.
As almost every contact we can imagine between human beings gets automated, the alienation(疏远) index goes up. You can't even call a person to get the phone number of another person any more. Directory assistance is almost always fully automated.
Pumping petrol at the station? Why say good morning to the attendant when you can swipe(刷)your credit card at the pump and save yourself the bother of human contact?
Making a deposit at the bank? Why talk to a teller who might live in the neighborhood when you can just insert your card into ATM?
Pretty soon you won’t have the burden of making eye contact at the grocery shop. Some supermarket chains are using a self-scanner so you can check yourself out, avoiding those check-out people who look at you and ask how you are doing.
I am not against modern technology. I own a cell phone, an ATM card, a voice mail system, and an email account. Giving them up isn't wise…they're a great help to us. It's some of their possible consequences that make me feel uneasy.
More and more, I find myself hiding behind e-mail to do a job meant for conversation. Or being relieved that voice mail picked up a call because I didn't really have time to talk. The communications industry devoted to helping me keep in touch is making me lonelier.
So I've put myself on technology restriction: no instant messaging, with people who live near me,no cell phoning in the presence of friends, no letting the voice mail pick up when I'm at home.
32. Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?
A. The Advance of Communications Technology
B. The Consequences of Modern Technology
C. The Process of Communications Revolution
D. The Automation of Modern Communications
33. Paragraphs 5 to 7 are listed as examples, which show that the use of modern communications is ___________.
A. encouraging B. disappointing C. satisfying D. embarrassing
34. The passage implies that _______________.
A. modern technology is bridging the people
B. modern technology is separating the people
C. modern technology is developing too rapidly
D. modern technology is interrupting our lives
35. What does the writer think to do with the modern technology?
A. We may use them no matter what others are doing.
B. We can throw them away and return to the ancient.
C. We can be far away from them forever.
D. We can use them less and communicate with the people around us.
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。
Some animals can be trained to help humans. For example, specially trained dogs help blind people walk around the town safely. Some kinds of monkeys can be taught things too. 36 The monkeys pick up the phone when it rings, carry shopping bags and do housework.
In the wild, animals and humans are not usually friends. 37 In Africa, the honey- guide bird works with humans to find food. The bird likes to eat the grubs (幼虫) — a type of insect that lives inside a beehive (蜂巢). It knows how to find beehives but it can’t open them and get the grubs. People like to eat honey, but they aren’t very good at finding beehives. 38 The bird flies to a beehive and people follow it. When the people open the beehive and take the honey, they give the grubs to the bird.
In Laguna in the south of Brazil, fishermen and dolphins work as a team. The ocean isn’t very clean, so the fishermen can’t see the fish. 39 When the dolphins find a large group of fish, they make a noise to tell the fishermen. Then the dolphins push the fish to the beach. The
fishermen wait in the water near the beach and catch a lot of fish in their nets. The fishermen’s nets make it easier for the dolphins to catch fish too. In Laguna, fishermen and dolphins have been working together for many years. 40 Meanwhile, the dolphins must be happy to help because they teach their babies how to work with the humans!
A. They attack each other for food or something else.
B. So the bird and the people help each other.
C. They can learn how to help people who can’t use their arms or legs.
D. In fact, they usually help to get enough food for their babies.
E. The fishermen teach their children how to work with the dolphins.
F. However, there are a few interesting examples where they can work together.
G. However, dolphins can find them easily by using sounds.

At one home I passed, I noticed a newspaper that 62 (lie) by the roadside instead of near the door. Thinking I would make someone else’s life a little 63 (easy), I picked up the paper and gently threw it towards their door. 64 instead of landing on the doorstep, the paper sailed in the wrong direction because of the strong wind and landed on the roof of a big truck in the driveway.
No one saw the funny scene but me and I burst out laughing. It was very quiet and they were 65 (probable) still sleeping. It was too early to knock on the door and tell the homeowner 66 their newspaper was. So, instead I walked home, got dressed and went to the store to make it right.
I returned a little later with a new newspaper and a basket of strawberries freshly
67 (pick) from my garden. I found the homeowner in the driveway with some of his friends. With a deep breath I came up to him and said, “I hope you have a great sense of humor.” I explained what had happened 68 his newspaper.

Dear editor,
My English teacher has been collecting opinions on the reform which the English test will
be removed from China’s college Entrance examination by 2020 and tests will be holding several times a year. And the opinions are different.
Some students are for it. They think this reform can reduce our study pressure and change China’s once-in-a-lifetime exams system. What’s more, they can spend many time on the subjects that they are interested in.
However, some students argue a reform wouldn’t reduce the students’ burden of learning English, because of schools may reduce English classes and not being strict with English teachers. If so, their parents may ask them to attend the training class outside the school. Not only they spend more money and also it may become a burden.
Yours,
Chen Hao

Dear editor,
My English teacher has been collecting opinions on the reform the English test will be removed from China’s college Entrance examination by 2020 and tests will be several times a year. And the opinions are different.
Some students are for it. They think this reform can reduce study pressure and change China’s once-in-a-lifetime system. What’s more, they can spend time on the subjects that they are interested in.
However, some students argue reform wouldn’t reduce the students’ burden of learning English, because of schools may reduce English classes and not strict with English teachers. If so, their parents may ask them to attend the training class outside the school. Not only spend more money also it may become a burden.
Yours,
Chen Hao

第二处:holding改为held。此处主语是动作对象,故用被动语态。
第三处:our改为their。此处物主代词应该与句子主语保持一致。他们认为这次改革能减轻他们的学习压力。
第四处:exams改为exam。英语中名词作定语一般用单数形式。
第五处:many改为more。此处指的是花费更多的时间在自己喜欢的科目上,含有比较之意,故用形容词比较级作定语。
第六处:a改为the。此处特指的是取消英语这次改革,故用定冠词。
第七处:去掉because后面的of。because of后面接名词性短语,because后面接从句。
第八处:being改为be。此处be和前文reduce为并列谓语,may是情态动词,后面实意动词用原形。
第九处:they前面加will。此处为倒装句,句子中描述的是将来动作,故用一般将来时态。
第十处:and改为but。此处为not only...but also固定结构。
【备注】这篇短文主要介绍了一些学生关于高考取消英语考试的意见。
