】2016专八阅读样卷（等同15年考卷）PASSAGE ONE1/In2011,many shoppers opted to avoid the frenetic crowds and do their holiday shopping from the comfort of their computer.Sales at online retailers gained by more than15%, making it the biggest season ever.But people are also returning those purchases at record rates,up 8%from last year.2/What went wrong?Is the lingering shadow of the global financial crisis making it harder to accept extravagant indulgences?Or do people shop more impulsively-and therefore make bad decisions-when online?Both arguments are plausible.However,there is a third factor:a question of touch.We can love the look but,in an online environment,we cannot feel the quality of a texture,the shape of the fit,the fall of a fold or the weight of an earring.And physically interacting with an object makes you more committed to your purchase.3/When my most recent book Brandwashed was released,I teamed up with a local bookstore to conduct an experiment about the differences between the online and offline shopping.I carefully instructed a group of volunteers to promote my book in two different ways.The first was a fairly hands-off approach.Whenever a customer would inquire about my book,the volunteer would take them over to the shelf and point to it.Out of20such requests,six customers proceeded with the purchase.4/The second option also involved going over to the shelf but,this time,removing the book and then subtly holding onto it for just an extra moment before placing it in the customer's hands.Of the20people who were handed the book,13ended up buying it.Just physically passing the book showed a big difference in sales.Why?We feel something similar to a sense of ownership when we hold things in our hand.That's why we establish or reestablish connection by greeting strangers and friends with a handshake.In this case,having to then let go of the book after holding it might generate a subtle sense of loss,and motivate us to make the purchase even more.5/A recent study conducted by Bangor University together with the United Kingdom's Royal Mail service also revealed the power of touch,in this case when it came to snail mail.A deeper and longer-lasting impression of a message was formed when delivered in a letter,as opposed to receiving the same message online.FMRIs(功能性磁共振成像)showed that,on touching the paper,the emotional centre of the brain was activated,thus forming a stronger bond. The study also indicated that once touch becomes part of the process,it could translate into a sense of possession.In other words,we simply feel more committed to possess and thus buy an item when we've first touched it.This sense of ownership is simply not part of the equation in theonline shopping experience.6/As the rituals of purchase in the lead-up to Christmas change,not only do we give less thought to the type of gifts we buy for our loved ones but,through our own digital wish lists,we increasingly control what they buy for us.The reality,however,is that no matter how convinced we all are that digital is the way to go,finding real satisfaction will probably take more than a few simple clicks.11.According to the author,shoppers are returning their purchases for all the following reasons EXCEPT that________.A.they are unsatisfied with the quality of the purchaseB.they eventually find the purchase too expensiveC.they change their mind out of uncertaintyD.they regret making the purchase without forethought12.Why does the author cite the study by Bangor University and the Royal Mail Service?A.To compare similar responses in different settings.B.To provide further evidence for his own observation.C.To offer a scientific account of the brain's functions.D.To describe emotional responses in online shopping.13.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A.Despite online shopping we still attach importance to gift buying.B.Some people are still uncertain about the digital age.C.Real satisfaction depends on factors other than the computer.D.Online shopping offers real satisfaction to shoppers.PASSAGE TWO1/My professor brother and I have an argument about head and heart,about whether lie overvalues IQ while I lean more toward EQ.We typically have this debate about people-can you be friends with a really smart jerk（怪物）?-but there's corollary to animals as well.I'd love it if our dog could fetch the morning paper and then read it to me over coffee,but I actually care much more about her loyal and innocent heart.There's already enough thinking going on in our house, and we probably spend too much time in our heads.Where we need some role modeling is in instinct,and that's where a dog is a roving revelation.2/I did not grow up with dogs,which meant that my older daughter's respectful but unyielding determination to get one required some adjustment on my part.I often felt she was training me:from ages of6to9,she gently schooled me in various breeds and their personalities, whispered to the dogs we encountered so they would charm and persuade me,demonstrated by her self-discipline that she was ready for the responsibility.And thus came our dog Twist,whom I sometimes mistake for a third daughter.3/At first1thought the challenge would be to train her to sit.to heel,to walk calmly beside us and not go wildly chasing the neighbourhood rabbits.But1soon discovered how much more we had to learn from her than she from us.4/If it is true,for example,that the secret to a child's success is less rare genius than raw persistence,Twist's ability to stay on task is a model for us all,especially if the task is trying to capture the sunbeam that flicks around the living room as the wind blows through the branchesoutside.She never succeeds,and she never gives up.This includes when she runs square into walls.5/Then there is her unfailing patience,which breaks down only when she senses that dinnertime was15minutes ago and we have somehow failed to notice.Even then she is more eager than indignant,and her refusal to whine shows a restraint of which I'm not always capable when hungry.6/But the lesson I value most is the one in forgiveness,and Twist first offered this when she was still very young.When she was about7months old,we took her to the vet to be spayed(切除卵巢).We turned her over to a stranger,who proceeded to perform a procedure that was probably not pleasant.But when the vet returned her to us,limp and tender,there was no recrimination(反责),no How could you do that to me?It was as though she already knew that we would not intentionally cause her pain,and while she did not understand,she forgave and curled up with her head on my daughter's lap.7/I suppose we could have concluded that she was just blindly loyal and docile.But eventually we knew better.She is entirely capable of disobedience,as she has proved many times. She will ignore us when there are more interesting things to look at,rebuke us when we are careless,bark into the twilight when she has urgent messages to send.But her patience with our failings and fickleness and her willingness to give us a second chance are a daily lesson in gratitude.8/My friends who grew up with dogs tell me how when they were teenagers and trusted no one in the world,they could tell their dog all their secrets.It was the one friend who would not gossip or betray,could provide in the middle of the night the soft,unbegrudging comfort and peace that adolescence conspires to disrupt.An age that is all about growth and risk needs some anchors and weights,a model of steadfastness when all else is in flux.Sometimes I think Twist's devotion keeps my girls on a benevolent leash,one that hangs quietly at their side as they trot along but occasionally yanks them back to safety and solid ground.9/We've weighed so many decisions so carefully in raising our daughters-what school to send them to and what church to attend,when to give them cell phones and with what precautions. But when it comes to what really shapes their character and binds our family,I never would have thought we would owe so much to its smallest member.14.In the first paragraph,the author suggests that_______.A.a person can either have a high IQ or a low EQB.we need examples of how to follow one's heartC.her professor brother cares too much about IQD.she prefers dogs that are clever and loyal15.According to the passage,all the following are Twist's characteristics EXCEPT_____.A.resignationB.patienceC.forgivenessD.tenacity16.That Twist's devotion keeps my girls on a benevolent leash means that_____.A.Twist is capable of looking after the girlsB.Twist and the girls have become friendsC.Twist knows how to follow the girlsD.Twist's loyalty helps the girls grow up17.What does the author try to express in the last paragraph?A.Gratitude to Twist for her role.B.Difficulties in raising her children.C.Worries about what to buy for kids.D.Concerns about schooling and religion.PASSAGE THREE1/Most West African lorries are not in what one would call the first flush of youth,and[had learnt by bitter experience not to expect anything very much of them.But the lorry that arrived to take me up to the mountains was worse than anything I had seen before:it tottered on the borders of senile decay.It stood there on buckled wheels,wheezing and gasping with exhaustion from having to climb up the gentle slope to the camp,and1consigned myself and my loads to it with some fear.The driver,who was a cheerful fellow,pointed out that he would require my assistance in two very necessary operations:first,I had to keep the hand brake pressed down when travelling downhill,for unless it was held thus almost level with the floor it sullenly refused to function. Secondly,I had to keep a stern eye on the clutch,a willful piece of mechanism that seized every chance to leap out of its socket with a noise like a strangling leopard.As it was obvious that not even a West African lorry-driver could be successful in driving while crouched under the dashboard,1had to take over control of those instruments if I valued my life.So,while I ducked at intervals to put on the brake,amid the rich smell of burning rubber,our noble lorry jerked its way towards the mountains at a steady twenty miles per hour;sometimes,when a downward slope favoured it,it threw caution to the winds and careered(猛冲)along in a reckless fashion at twenty-five.2/For the first thirty miles the red earth road wound its way through the lowland forest,the giant trees standing in solid ranks alongside and their branches entwined(盘绕)in an archway of leaves above us.Slowly and almost imperceptibly the road started to climb upwards,looping its way in languid curves round the forested hills.In the back of the lorry the boys lifted up their voices in song:3/Home again,home again,4/When shall I see ma home?5/The driver hummed the refrain(副歌)softly to himself glancing at me to see if I would object.To his surprise I joined in and so while the lorry rolled onwards,the boys in the back maintained the chorus while the driver and I harmonized and sang complicated bits.6/Breaks in the forest became more frequent the higher we climbed,and presently a new type of undergrowth began to appear:massive tree-ferns standing at the roadside on their thick,squat hairy trunks.These ferns were the guardians of a new world,for suddenly,as though the hills had shrugged themselves free of a cloak,the forest disappeared.It lay behind us in the valley,while above us the hillside rose majestically,covered in a coat of waist-high grass.The lorry crept higher and higher,the engine gasping and shuddering with this unaccustomed activity.I began to think that we should have to push the wretched thing up the last two or three hundred feet,but to everyone's surprise we made it,and the lorry crept on to the brow of the hill,trembling with fatigue,spouting steam from its radiator like a dying whale.We crawled to a standstill and thedriver switched off the engine.7/"We must wait small-time,engine get hot,"he explained,pointing to the forequarters of the lorry,which were by now completely invisible under a cloud of steam.Thankfully I descended from the red-hot inside of the cab and strolled down to where the road dipped into the next valley. From this vantage point1could see the country we had travelled through and the country we18.Which of the following words in the first paragraph is used literally?A.Flush.B.Borders.C.GaspingD.Operations.19.We learn from the first paragraph that the author regards the inadequacies of the lorry as_____.A.inevitable and amusingB.dangerous and frighteningC.novel and unexpectedD.welcome and interesting20.All the following words in the last but one paragraph describe the lorry as a human EXCEPT_____.A.tremblingB.spoutingC.shudderingD.crept21.A suitable title for the passage would be.A.A journey that scared meB.The wild West African lorryC.A journey to rememberD.A comic journey in West Africa【以专八改革样卷的Lorry文学篇章为例——什么是文学的本质】范范_老师发布于2015年9月24日08:45“如果一群学生在一起讨论《呼啸山庄》，一个学生说Heathcliffe颜值并不高不值得Catherine 寻死觅活的，另一个学生说这二人的爱情根本没有多大讨论的价值，还有一人则言林顿太怂，等等。

购物经厉英语作文五年级
购物经厉英语作文五年级Shopping is an activity that many people find enjoyable and even therapeutic. It's a chance to explore new products, indulge in personal desires, or even just to spend time with friends and family. For a fifth-grader, shopping can be an adventure, a learning experience, and a way to express individuality.Imagine walking into a brightly lit mall on a Saturday morning. The air is filled with the scent of fresh popcorn and the sound of light chatter. Stores display their latest collections, enticing shoppers with vibrant colors and trendy designs. For a young student, this is not just a place to buy things; it's a playground of possibilities.One of the first stops is a bookstore, where shelves are stacked high with books of every genre. The smell of new books is intoxicating, and the colorful covers are inviting. Here, a fifth-grader might learn the value of money by deciding which book to buy within a budget. It's a tough choice, but finally, a book about dinosaurs wins the day because it combines two loves: reading and prehistoric creatures.Next, there's a visit to a clothing store. Rows of clothes are hung neatly, each section a different rainbow hue. Trying on different outfits is fun, and it teaches the importanceof making decisions and expressing one's style. After much deliberation, a blue t-shirt with a cool graphic print is chosen, reflecting a personal taste in fashion.The electronics section is a wonderland of gadgets and gizmos. There are tablets that respond to the slightest touch and headphones that cancel out all other noise. It's a chance to learn about technology and its uses. A set of colorful earbuds is picked, not just for their function, but because they look fun and match the new t-shirt.In the toy store, the air is electric with excitement. Action figures, board games, and stuffed animals call out for attention. Here, the lesson is about prioritizing wants and needs. After some thought, a decision is made to save money instead of buying a new toy, showing an understanding of restraint and future planning.At the checkout, there's a sense of accomplishment. Choices were made, money was spent wisely, and new treasures are going home. It's not just about the items bought, but the experiences gained. The bookstore taught budgeting, the clothing store about self-expression, the electronics section about technology, and the toy store about self-control.On the way home, there's a stop at a small ice cream shop. The day ends with a sweet treat, a reward for making smart choices. It's a simple pleasure that caps off a day of learning and fun.Shopping as a fifth-grader is more than just buying things; it's a series of lessons in a real-world classroom. It's about financial literacy, decision-making, self-expression, and planning for the future. Each store is a chapter in a practical life-skills book, and every purchase is a test passed. It's these experiences that shape young minds, preparing them for the bigger shopping trips of life. 。
