The day of my big solo(独唱表演) had finally arrived. It was a big event: the Spring Fling Choir Concert. My 36 was on the cover of the program. “Cindy Hamond … Soloist.” I couldn’t 37 it. Not that it was my name, but that it wasn’t Renee Swanson’s.
Renee and I had been classmates since kindergarten. She was always wherever I was and she was always 38 of me. The school plays? Renee would have the leads. Softball? She played first base. Dance-class recital needs a big finish? Renee was 39 . The only time I ever came in ahead of Renee was at roll call(点名). Hamond comes before Swanson. I count that as a 40 .
The choir concert tryouts were 41 for me. We waited while Ms. Jenkins called us one at a time into the choir room. When Ms. Jenkins got to the H’s, my heart sped up and my whole body was shaking. When I came back, Renee smiled at me. Ms. Jenkins called her name and Renee calmly followed her. She was still 42 and smiling when she came out.
When Ms. Jenkins announced who 43 the choir group, I wasn’t surprised when Renee’s name was on her list and mine wasn’t. “So,” I said under my breath, “what else is 44 ?”
Sudden clapping came. Everyone was looking at me. I’ve 45 something here, I thought. Ms. Jenkins looked at me, “Cindy, you will have to start 46 with me. The solos take extra preparation.” Solo? I got the solo? I glanced Renee smiling and giving me the thumbs-up sign.
Now the day had come, we filed onto the 47 . I was front and center. The spotlight circled me in its bright light, but I 48 right there. I couldn’t breathe. I couldn’t think. I couldn’t sing. The note started up and then 49 in my throat. “You can do it, Cindy,” Renee whispered. “I know you can.” I wasn’t as 50 as she was.
My 51 came again. I took a deep breath and sang out. All that came out was a rusty-sounding squeak(刺耳的声音). But in that same moment, from behind me, came the pure tone of the right note. Renee gave me a gentle poke(轻戳). My voice lifted and 52 hers. When the next note came, it was all me.
The rest of the solo went well. And when the concert was over, the applause was thunderous. Renee was the first to hug me.
“Thanks, Renee,” was all I 53 get myself to say.
Renee smiled and gave me another hug. “What are friends 54 ?”
Friends? Did she say friends?
“You’re right,” This time I hugged her, beginning to 55 the feeling of being her friend.
36. A. song B. photo C. name D. writing
37. A. refuse B. judge C. bear D. believe
38. A. ahead B. proud C. afraid D. nervous

Today there are twenty to twenty-five million shopping carts rolling around the world. In fact, the shopping cart is presently one of the most often used items on four wheels, second only to the automobile. Indeed, almost everybody in America will spend a part of his or her life behind a shopping cart. They will, in a lifetime, push it many miles. But few will know—or even think to ask—who it was that invented them.
Mr. Sylvan N. Goldman of Oklahoma City invented the shopping cart in 1937. Mr. Goldman’s invention did not make him famous. It did, however, make him very rich.
When Goldman invented the cart he was in the supermarket business. Every day he would see shoppers lugging groceries around in baskets that they had to carry. One day Goldman suddenly had the idea of putting baskets on wheels. The wheeled baskets would make shopping much easier for his customers. And by lightening their chore, he would attract their business. Pondering the idea, Goldman walked into his office and sat down on a folding chair. Looking down at the chair, Goldman had another idea. The carts, he realized, should be made so they could be folded up. This would make it easier to store them when not in use.
On June 4, 1937, Goldman’s first batch of carts was ready for use in his market. He was terribly excited on the morning of that day as customers began arriving. He couldn’t wait to see them using his invention. But Goldman was disappointed. Most
shoppers gave the carts a long look, but hardly anybody would give them a try. After a while, Goldman decided to ask customers why they weren’t using his carts. “Don’t you think this arm is strong enough to carry a shopping basket?” one offended shopper replied.
Day after day, the same thing happened. People wouldn’t use the carts. They preferred a basket on the arm to a basket on wheels. But Goldman wasn’t beaten yet. He knew his carts would be a great success if only he could persuade people to give them a try. To this end, Goldman tried something that was both very clever and very funny. Believe it or not, he hired a group of people to push carts around his market and pretend they were shopping! Seeing this, the real customers gradually began copying the phony customers.
As Goldman had hoped, the carts were soon attracting larger and larger numbers of customers to his market. But not only did more people come—those who came bought more. With larger, easier-to-handle baskets, customers unconsciously bought a greater number of goods than before.
Today’s shopping carts are five times larger than Goldman’s original model. Perhaps that’s one reason Americans today spend more than five times as much money on food each year as they did before 1937—before the coming of the shopping cart.
59. The passage is written to _______.
A. tell about the life of an inventor B. explain the power of advertising
C. introduce the history of an invention D. analyze the secrets of business success
60. How did Goldman get customers to use the shopping cart?
A. By showing how it worked. B. By printing advertisements.
C. By giving a special discount. D. By describing why it was useful.
61. What unexpected benefit did Goldman gain?
A. Goldman became famous. B. Shoppers bought more goods.
C. Shopping carts became larger. D. More customers came to his store.
62. The passage suggests the following secrets of success EXCEPT _______.
A. acting on your ideas B. believing in your work
C. using your imagination D. watching your competition
C
Bear Story
Campers Gene and Marie Marsden took pride in being good citizens when in the wild. While driving miles to the Green River Lakes area, they instructed their children in the rules they’d learned in the bear safety handbook put out by the Bridger-Teton Forest Service. The number-one rule was “Don’t feed the bears!”—whether intentionally or not. Warning the kids not to go anywhere near a bear, the Marsdens had no problem with the intentional part, but the unintentional part was not as easy to
avoid as they thought.
Mr. and Mrs. Marsden did their best to keep a tidy camp. While the handbook had said to hang all food at least ten feet off the ground, they did that and locked their food in their trailer at night. Afraid that the scent of the bait(鱼饵) might attract a bear, they even locked up Marie’s fishing pole. Being sure nothing was left out, they went to bed.
Gene says he now regrets not having taken their dog Spike into the tent at night, but they liked having him on guard. On the night of the encounter(相遇), Spike would not stop barking, and Marie knew he must be sounding the alarm on something more dangerous. When she unzipped the tent and shone her flashlight, she saw a young bear.
They all piled into the car and drove quickly down the trail. They drove to a pay phone twenty miles away and called a Fish and Game Department ranger, who identified the bear by the white ruff the Marsdens had seen around his neck. The authorities informed the Marsdens that the bear was a young male that they’d been keeping an eye on.
The next morning, the Marsdens heard helicopters circling over the mountain and wondered if it might have something to do with the bear. After spending the night in the public campground, they drove back to their site. Wandering the area in search of clues, Marie came to a stop below a tallest tree. She slapped her head and shouted, “Oh no!”
“What is it?” Gene asked.
Marie pointed at the ground where Spike’s dog food bowl lay upside down.
A week after their return home, the Marsdens read the headline in their local paper. “Bear Euthanized in Wind Rivers.” According to the article, the Fish and Game Department had shot the young bear because, having been rewarded for invading(侵入) a human campsite, it would likely do so again.
The Marsdens knew they had been lucky in the encounter, yet much to their shame and sadness, they also knew that the bear had not.
63. Who is mostly to blame in the bear’s death according to the writer?
A. The bear. B. The Bridger-Teton Forest Service.
C. The Marsdens. D. The Fish and Game Department.
64. What does the underlined word “reward” refer to in Paragraph 8?
A. The bear frightening the Marsdens away.
B. The bear receiving no punishment.
C. The bear fighting against Spike.
D. The bear getting the dog’s food.
65. The passage is written to show_________.
A. taking pets for camping should be forbidden
B. choosing right spots is important for camping
C. people’s improper behavior can cause great loss
D. people had better keep away from dangerous animals
66. The passage might be from __________.
A. a camping magazine B. a handbook on bear safety
C. a geography textbook D. a statistical study on bears’ deaths
D
Even though multiple generations have now grown up glued to the flickering light of the TV, we still can’t let go of the belief that the next generation of technology is going to doom(毁掉) our kids.
I’ve spent over a decade observing young people’s practices with technology. When I began my research, I expected to find lots of teenagers who were escaping “real life” through the Internet. That was certainly my experience. As a geeky, queer youth growing up in the early 1990s, the Internet was the only place where I didn’t feel judged. I wanted to live in a digital-only world.
To my surprise—and, as I grew older, relief—that differed from what most youth want. Early on in my research, I met a girl who told me that she’d much rather get together with her friends in person, but she had so many homework demands and her parents were often concerned about her physical safety. This is why she loved the Internet: She could hang out with her friends there. For many teenagers, technology is a relief valve. I’ve heard this reasoning echoed by youth around the country.
This is the Catch-22 that we’ve trapped today’s youth in. We’ve locked them indoors because we see the physical world as more dangerous than ever before, even though by almost every measure, we live in the safest society to date. We put heavy expectations for our kids, maxing them out with structured activities and homework. And then we’re surprised when they’re worn out and addictive.
If we truly want to reduce the amount young people use technology, we should free up more of their time. For one thing, we could radically reduce the amount of homework and tests American youth take. Finland consistently outperforms the U.S. in school, and it emphasizes student happiness, assigning almost no homework. When I lecture in Finland, parents don’t seem nearly as anxious about technology addiction as Americans. We should also let children roam. It seems like every few weeks I read a new story about a parent who was visited by child services for letting their school-aged children out of their sight. Indeed, studies in the U.S. and the U.K. consistently show that children have lost the right to roam.
This is why many of our youth turn to technology. They aren’t addicted to the computer; they’re addicted to interaction, and being around their friends. Children, and especially teenagers, don’t want to only socialize with parents and siblings; they want to play with their peers. That’s how they make sense of the world. And we’ve robbed them of that opportunity because we’re afraid of evil spirits.
We’re raising our children in captivity and they turn to technology to socialize,
learn and decompress(减压). Why are we blaming the screens?
67. The writer thinks Internet addiction happens today because ________.
A. the youth are required to learn the modern technology
B. the youth want to escape the dangerous real world
C. the youth are fascinated by a digital-only world
D. the youth want to communicate with each other
68. Which of the following CANNOT be learned from Paragraph 4?
A. Parents are demanding of their children.
B. Parents are overprotective of their children.
C. Parents are worried about their children’s health.
D. Parents are surprised at the effect of their measures.
69. Finland is mentioned in Paragraph 5 to show that _________.
A. all work and no play make American children suffer a lot
B. children in Finland have little technology addiction
C. offering children more free time is a good solution
D. the government of Finland takes good measures
70. The main purpose of this passage is to _________.
A. share experiences in using technology
B. discuss the real causes of Internet addiction
C. provide some suggestions on technology use
D. persuade young people to wisely use technology
第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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。
If you live in Tokyo or Toronto, you need a warm coat in the winter. 71 The aim of advertising is to change our ideas about things we want and need.
Some ads for designer products use people’s vanity(虚荣心) to sell the product. The ads try to create a personality for each brand. For example, one brand of watches is for people who like adventure, with ads featuring an auto racer or a pilot wearing them. Another brand of watches is for elegant and fashionable people, and the ads show wealthy travelers on a cruise ship. The watches look almost the same—only their images are different. When you buy that brand of watch, you are buying the image. 72
Many ads use people’s emotions to persuade us that we need the product. Think of a TV commercial that shows a woman out driving in a car on a rainy day, with her two small children. Suddenly, another car turns in front of her. The mother quickly hit the brakes, and her car comes to a stop. The children are still smiling and laughing. The message is: This car will keep you safe. 73 Other examples are slogans that tell you to “take vitamins to prevent heart disease,” or “buy insurance—protect your family.”
Commercials for soft drinks often show people having a party, playing sports, or enjoying a day at the beach: Everyone in the ad is having a good time. The message is: If you buy this drink, you will have a good time too. Many ads like this are based on people’s desire for fun and enjoyment.
74 Psychologists have found that people have positive feelings about things they see more often, so the same ad is used for a long time before it is replaced with a new ad. Other studies found that people react better to an ad when it is fresh in their memory, so TV ads are repeated very often.
Knowing about psychology in advertising lets us make better decisions about the things we buy. 75
A. Advertisements like this one use fear to sell products.
B. But you want one that is short, or black, or has a designer brand.
C. You have to be careful not to be fooled by the ads on the Internet.
D. But the children may not realize that what they are viewing is unreal.
E. This is the reason that people spend much more money for a product.
F. After an ad is prepared, advertisers use psychology to make it more effective.
G. It helps us know the difference between what we want and what we really need.
