Farah was sitting in the kitchen going over the party list with her mother. The exams were over and Farah wanted
to invite her friends to a party.
“Farah，aren’t you going to invite Hafsa？”her mother asked. Hafsa had been her best friend since childhood.
“Mother，you know I am now a part of Purple Girls Club and we have some rules about people we can be
friends with，”Farah answered.
“Really？And what are the rules？”her mother asked.
“Well，only very pretty girls can be part of our group. And Hafsa is so...you know...dark.”
“I cannot believe it，”her mother said angrily.
As Farah left the kitchen，her father called her from the living room.
Farah went to her father and paled when she saw the exam report in his hands. “Farah，what has happened to
your grades？You have failed in Mathematics，”her father said.
Farah had no answer. The truth was that the activities of Purple Girls Club left her with very little time for
studies.
“Farah，it says that you can take part in supplementary exams(补考).If your grades don’t improve then，I’ll
cancel(取消) your trip to Spain.”
Farah went to her room and called Gina，the leader of Purple Girls Club， “Gina，can you help me to complete
my notes before the exams？”
Gina laughed. “Exams？Who cares about exams？”
One by one，she called her friends in the club but no one seemed to care or wanted to help.
Farah knew Hafsa would help her. Farah also knew Hafsa had been hurt by her，but Hafsa said，“If you need
any help，just let me know. We can study together till your exams.”
Next Monday，as two friends entered the school together，Gina called out.
“Farah，you know our rules. You cannot be friends with those who do not belong to our club.”
“Gina，I have a new rule about friendship，”Farah replied.
21. After Farah joined Purple Girls Club, she chose a friend according to a person’s ________.

The English language is changing, and you are responsible! Whether we consider changes in grammar, spelling,
pronunciation, or the very vocabulary of the language, you have played your part and continue to do so.
When we first learned basic grammar and spelling, perhaps in elementary school, we might have gotten the
impression that these things were sacred. The rules that apply to such things might have been presented as unchanging
and unchangeable. While this way might be helpful for teaching children, it is far from accurate(准确的).
The English language, like many others, is a living, growing, ever-evolving thing. Like it or not, you are involved
in this change. These changes take many forms. Grammar and spelling have changed greatly over the years and
centuries, with the spelling differences in different countries today a reflection of this. While the language of a
thousand years ago might be called English, most of us would hardly recognize it today as the same language.
The first involves changes in the pronunciation of words. Many are familiar with the differences between the
British and American ways of pronouncing certain words. In addition to these differences, the pronunciation of many
words has changed over the years because of how you have decided to pronounce them. For example, consider the
word "err." The traditional pronunciation of this word rhymes with the word "her." Older dictionaries show this to
be the primary or only pronunciation. However, in recent years, more and more people have been pronouncing it so
that it sounds like "air." Another change in the language involves the addition and removal of words. The makers of
dictionaries decide which words deserve to be officially adopted as part of the English language. Through the
centuries, many words have come from other languages. In fact, English has probably done this more than any other
language in the world, which is why spelling and pronunciation rules for English have so many exceptions.
Of course, many slang words have been just short-lived fashions that have died out quickly. Others, though,
have been adopted by mainstream society and become respectable, as have many technical terms. So then remember,
the next time you repeat the newest expression to hit the street, or make up your own words, you may be contributing
to the future of the English language.
24. When we begin to learn English, we think _______________.
A. it is interesting to pick up a new language B. English rules are wrongly presented in fact
C. grammar and spelling rules are unchangeable D. only adults have the ability to affect a language
25. From paragraph 3 we can know that _______________.
A. we can change the English language
B. many languages are changing over years
C. English has changed little in the past 1,000 years
D. there were main changes in grammar and pronunciation
26. Why is the pronunciation of words changing?
A. people speak in different ways B. people have adopted foreign words
C. it has been affected by American English D. makers of dictionaries often change them
27. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. Foreign words involved in English. B. You can change the English language.
C. English language is changing over years. D. The British speaks differently from Americans.

C
During this shopping season, sellers will come up with different ways to get your business. Many product
companies use specific colors to cause positive emotions(情绪) and compete for a sale. However, besides sight,
sounds and smells can also influence people’s purchasing(购买) decisions.
Nobel Prize-winning research shows that our sense of smell has great power to cause an emotional response. A
study published earlier this year compared purchasing in a French flower shop when the smell of lavender was given
off and when it wasn’t. It found that the smell added to the number of people’s purchasing items and the amount of
their purchases. An earlier study using Nike shoes found that people desired the shoes more, and were willing to pay
more, when the room had a mixed smell of flowers. Realizing the subconscious impact of smell, many stores make
use of man-made scents (气味) through their heating and air-conditioning vents (通风口) or place scent machines
above their doors. For instance, a coconut scent might make that bikini more attractive as you plan a vacation.
Ever felt excited because of a store’s fast-paced music? Or calmed by a piece of light music? A retailer’s choice
of music can have a big influence on consumers’ emotions. One study found that when exposed to loud music,
consumers will spend less time in a store. But interestingly, the researchers did not find a difference in sales or
customers’ satisfaction. Another interesting finding from a recent study was that customers actually shop longer when
exposed to unfamiliar music. Just as department stores use different scents in certain departments, many use different
music in some areas to attract varying consumers.
Well, you could always leave the store and take a break, but the food court probably isn’t your best choices as
brands like Cinnabon and Panera Bread also use scents as part of their customers’ experience. Online retailers use a
variety of other ways to get your business, but you can always neglect those and enjoy the familiar scents of home.
28. What can be inferred from Paragraph 2?
A. Decorating stores with flowers becomes a fashion.
B. Shops with special smells can attract more consumers.
C. Smells can actually help businessmen earn more money.
D. The products with a kind of special smell are more popular.
29. How does music have an influence on consumers?
A. It controls consumers’ desire for shopping.
B. It influences how long consumers stay in a shop.
C. It gives consumers the satisfaction of enjoying shopping.
D. Whether consumers are willing to buy things depends on it.
30. What does the underlined word “neglect” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A. taste B. force C. purchase D. ignore

Building Trust in a Relationship Again
Trust is a learned behavior that we get from past experiences. 31 That is a risk. But you can’t be successful
when there’s a lack of trust in a relationship that results from an action where the wrongdoer takes no responsibility 6
to fix the mistake.
Unfortunately, we’ve all been victims of betrayal(背叛). Whether we’ve been stolen from, lied to, misled, or
cheated on, there are different levels of losing trust. Sometimes people simply can’t trust any more. 32 It’s
understandable, but if you’re willing to build trust in a relationship again, we have some steps you can take to get
you there.
⚫ 33 Having confidence in yourself will help you make better choices because you can see what the best
outcome would be for your well-being.
⚫ 34 If you’ve been betrayed, you are the victim of your circumstance. But there’s a difference between
being a victim and living with a “victim mentality”. At some point in all of our lives, we’ll have our trust tested
or violated.
You didn’t lose “everything”. Once trust is lost, what is left? Instead of looking at the situation from this hopeless
angle, look at everything you still have and be thankful for all of the good in your life. 35 Instead, it’s a healthy
way to work through the experience to allow room for positive growth and forgiveness.
A. Learn to really trust yourself.
B. It is putting confidence in someone.
C. Stop regarding yourself as the victim.
D. Remember that you can expect the best in return.
E. They’ve been too badly hurt and they can’t bear to let it happen again.
F. This knowledge carries over in their attitude toward their future relationships.
G. Seeing the positive side of things doesn’t mean you’re ignoring what happened.

When I first entered university, my aunt, who is an English professor, gave me a new English dictionary. I was
36 to see that it was an English-English dictionary, also known as a monolingual (只用一种语言的) dictionary.
37 it was a dictionary intended for non-native learners, 38 of my classmates had one, and to be honest, I
found it extremely 39 to use at first. I would look up words in the dictionary and 40 not fully understand
the meanings. I was used to the 41 bilingual dictionaries, in which the words are 42 both in English and
Chinese. I really wondered why my aunt 43 to make things so difficult for me. Now, after studying English at
university for three years, I 44 that monolingual dictionaries are 45 in learning a foreign language.
As I found out, there is, 46 , often no perfect equivalence (对应) between two 47 in two languages.
My aunt even goes so far as to 48 that a Chinese "equivalent" can never give you the 49 meaning of a
word in English! 50 , she insisted that I read the definition (释义) of a word in a monolingual dictionary when
I wanted to get a better 51 of its meaning. 52 , I have come to see what she meant.
Using a monolingual dictionary for learners has helped me in another important way. This dictionary uses a(n)
53 number of words, around 2,000. in its definitions. When I read these definitions, I am 54 exposed to the
basic words and learn how they are used to explain objects and ideas. 55 this, I can express myself more easily
in English. 7
