A
Though online ordering is popular in the UK today, hands-on experience still attracts many buyers’ attention.
Oxford Street
London is shoppers’ paradise, and most visitors head for Oxford Street. Halfway along is Selfridges, one of the world’s first department stores where the architecture and window dressing impress even before you go in. There are at least four other major stores on this street, plus Europe’s largest music shop. In December the atmosphere is especially festive because of the Christmas lights which are always lighted by a politician, a great sportsman, or a super star.
Kensington High Street
A fashionable area for shopping is Kensington High Street. One of its department stores even has a roof garden---good for relaxing between purchases. There’s also an organic food superstore.
Borough Market
You can’t visit London and not go to a supermarket. One of the oldest and best for food is probably Borough Market on the south bank of the Thames. Get off the underground at London Bridge and wander among fresh fish stalls, bakeries, and fruit and vegetable sellers. You can also buy specialist food to take away, like cheeses, pork pies, mustard and chutney.
More places for bargains
Portobello Road on a Saturday is your best choice for jewelry or collector’s items. It’s a short walk from the subway station at Notting Hill Gate and you never know what you will find. For clothes, Camden Market is the place. It gets a little crowded at the weekends, though. Convent Garden offers great experience for the simple pleasure of looking at jewelry and gifts.
21. Oxford Street becomes special in December for ____________.
A. the wonderful window dressing
B. the Europe’s largest music shop
C. the lights lit by a famous person
D. many bargains to choose from
22. To enjoy food, you can go to _____________.
A.Camden Market
B. Borough Market
C. Kensington High Street
D. Portobello Road
23. Where is this passage probably taken from?
A. A science book. B. A traveler’s journal.
C. A news report. D. A trip guide.
B
If a city wants to hold the Olympics, it must submit a proposal to the IOC. After
all proposals have been submitted, the IOC votes. If no city with the fewest votes is eliminated(淘汰), the voting continues, until a majority winner is determined. Typically， the Games are awarded several years in advance, allowing the winning city time to prepare for the Games.
In selecting the site of the Olympic Games, the IOC considers a number of factors, and chiefly among them is which organizing committee seems most likely to stage the Games effectively. The IOC also considers which parts of the world have not yet hosted
the Games. For instance, Tokyo, the host of the 1964 Summer Games, and Beijing, that of the 2008 Games, were chosen in part to popularize the Olympic movement in Asia. Because of growing importance television worldwide, the IOC in recent years has also taken into account the host city’s time zone. Whenever the Games take place in the USA or Canada, for example, American television networks are willing to pay specially higher amounts for television rights because they can broadcast popular events live in the best viewing hours.
Once the Games have been awarded, it is the duty of the local organizing committee----not the IOC or the NOC of the host city’s country to provide them with money. This is often done with a part of the Olympic television revenues(收入), and corporate sponsorships, tickets sales, and other smaller revenue sources. In many cases there is also direct government support. Although many cities have achieved amounts of money by hosting the Games, the Olympics can be financially risky. When the financial gains from the Games were less than expected, the city was left with large debts.
24. _______will be determined to host the Olympic Games by the IOC.
A. A city that submits a proposal
B. A majority winner in voting
C. A city that has perfect time zone
D. One that hasn’t hosted the Games
25. If the Games take place in Canada, American television networks___.
A. will not pay for the Canadian television networks
B. will be forbidden to broadcast live sporting events
C. can’t broadcast popular events live in the best viewing hours
D. are willing to pay much higher amounts for television rights
26. According to the last paragraph, which following statement is true?
A. The host city must be left with large debts
B. There is no financial risk in hosting the Olympic Games
C. The city may achieve a lot of money
D. It is impossible that the host city couldn’t make money
27. Which of the following can be the best title of this passage?
A. Winner or loser B. Applying for host for Olympics
C. How to host Olympic Games D. The Olympic Games
C
If you have a chance to go to Finland, you will probably be surprised to find how “foolish” the Finnish people are.
Take the taxi drivers for example. Taxis in Finland are mostly high-class Benz
with a fare of two US dollars a kilometer. You can go anywhere in one, tell the driver to drop you at any place, say that you have some business to attend to, and then walk off without paying your fare. The driver would not show the least sign of anxiety.
The dining rooms in all big hotels not only serve their guests, but also serve outside diners. Hotel guests have their meals free, so they naturally go to the free dining rooms to have their meals. The most they would do to show their good faith is to wave their
registration card to the waiter. With such a loose check, you can easily use any old registration card to take a couple of friends to dine free of charge.
The Finnish workers are paid by the hour. They are very much on their own as soon as they have agreed with the boss on the rate. From then on they just say how many hours they have worked and they will be paid accordingly.
With so many loopholes（漏洞）in everyday life, surely Finland must be a heaven to those who love to take “petty advantages”. But the strange thing is, all the taxi passengers would always come back to pay their fare after they have attended to their business; not a single outsider has ever been found in the free hotel dining rooms. And workers always give an honest account of the exact hours they put in. As the Finns always act on good faith in everything they do, living in such a society has turned everyone into a real “gentleman”.
28. The underlined words in this passage means to “______”.
A. be ready to help others B. make good use of one’s friends
C. be a little ahead of others D. gain something at other’s expense
29. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. While taking a taxi in Finland, you can get off without first paying your fare.
B. In a big hotel in Finland, you can enjoy free meals if you’re living in the hotel.
C. The bosses in Finland pay the employees according to registration of their working hours.
D. The workers are always honest with their working hours.
30. We can learn from the passage that ______.
A. the Finnish society is of very high moral（道德）level
B. there are many loopholes in everyday life in Finland
C. in Finland, most taxi drivers will not charge you anything
D. everyone in Finland is like a gentleman, for they have faith in themselves
31. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?
A. Life in Finland B. A Society with “Foolish” People
C. What a Life D. Honest accounts of the Finns
D
“Clothes Swapping” is an activity which has become increasingly popular among American women. At a clothes swap event the women can give away unwanted clothing and get something different in return.
Recently about 300 women went to a clothes swap at a high school in Springfield, Virginia. It was the largest crowd ever for the area’s popular clothing-swapping group.
Daphne Steinberg was having a good day. “For anyone who knows Ann Taylor LOFT, Ann Taylor is a really good women’s designer and I will totally wear this to work. So I love that, I love that I can equip myself for work and have a good time in doing it, not totally bankrupt(使破产) myself.”
Sandy Van Dusen likes the idea that clothes are finding new homes instead of being thrown away. “Because it helps to keep the Earth green. There’s no point in my opinion in continuing to buy new clothes when we can reuse what’s already here. Give it a new home--- let somebody else love what you used to love and no longer love.”
Kim Pratt organized the clothing-swapping event in Springfield. She also organized a money-raising activity for the high school’s debate team. It is one of several ways that
her group gives to charitable causes. Another is by donating all of the “un-swapped” clothing to shelters for victims of domestic violence.
“I started doing this four years ago, and we’ve been doing it for four years, getting bigger and bigger each time we have a swap.”
She used the social media website meetup.com to help publicize the events. The website has helped her group grow from 30 members to 1,300. Mrs. Pratt says most of the members respect the clothing swap rules. But she say competition for desirable fashion can be strong.
“We have to tell people sometimes not to hover over（逗留在） the new people coming in with their clothing. As they put it out, some people tend to grab the stuff right out of their hands and it becomes like a free-for-all. We try to avoid that as much as possible.”
32. Women can______ at a clothes swap.
A. exchange unwanted clothing for something different
B. buy whatever clothing they like
C. have a social gathering and make friends
D. make some money by giving away unwanted clothing
33. We can learn from what Daphne Steinberg said that ______.
A. she had been to a clothes swap for the first time
B. she experienced the largest clothes swap ever in the area
C. she could get some clothes she likes at the clothes swap
D. she saved much more money than she had expected
34. What is Paragraph 5 mainly about?
A. What Kim Pratt did with the un-swapped clothes.
B. How Kim Pratt started the clothing-swapping event.
C. What Kim Pratt did to help people in need.
D. How Kim Pratt raised money to help charitable causes
35. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that ______ .
A. clothes swaps are often out of control in the end
B. inappropriate behavior at clothes swaps needs to be controlled
C. clothes-swapping is becoming increasingly popular with women
D. more clothing swapping events need to be organized

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。
Having a learning disability doesn’t mean you can’t learn. Learning disabilities happen because of the way a person’s brain takes in and processes information. 36 The trick will be figuring out how you learn best .
Learning disabilities aren’t contagious(传染的)，but they can be genetic. That means they can be passed down in families through the genes, like many other traits we get from our parents and grandparents. Someone with a learning disability probably has other family members who have some learning troubles, too. Kids with learning problems are sometimes surprised to find out that one of their parents had similar troubles when he or she was in school. 37
Learning experts now know a lot more about the brain and how learning works.
It’s very hard for a kid to know if he or she has a learning disability. But kids don’t have to figure all this out on their own. 38 Start with your teacher and your mom or dad.
Finding out you have a learning disability can be upsetting. 39 But the truth is that learning disabilities are pretty common. And if your learning specialist or psychologist has figured out which one you’re facing, you’re on the right track. Now, you can start getting the help you need to do better in school.
To make this special help really work, you’ll need to practise the new skills you’re learning. It may take a lot of efforts every day. 40 Soon, you’ll enjoy the results of all your hard work: More fun and success at school!
A. But you’ll need some help and you’ll need to work extra hard.
B. What a kid needs to do is to tell someone.
C. There are people who know how to do just that.
D. You might feel different from everyone else.
E. But kids today have an advantage over their parents.
F. As a result, some people learn differently.
G. That can be a challenge, but you can do it.

Dear Brain,
I'm sorry to tell you that I’ve lost your new USB Disk. Now I’m expressing my deepest apology for my carelessness.
Actually, I put the USB Disk in my schoolbag after we met in library yesterday. But to my sorrow, it was lost on my way home. I tried to get it back but failed. How sorry and guilty I felt!
This morning, I went to buy the same USB Disk in some bookstores but it is too expensive for me. However, I promise that I'll tighten my belt these days to get you a completely new one by the end of this month. Please forgive me again and accept my sincere apology.
Best wishes! (110 words)
Yours,
Li Hua
