AAt the age of ten I could not figure out what this Elvis Presley guy had that the rest of us boys did not have．I mean，he had a head，two arms and two legs，just like the rest of us．About nine o’clock on Saturday morning I decided to ask Eugene Correthers，one of the older boys，what it was that made this Elvis guy so special．He told me that it was Elvi s’ wavy hair and the way he moved his body．About half an hour later all the boys in the orphanage(孤儿院)were called to the main dining-room and told we were all going to downtown Jacksonville，Florida to get a new pair of Buster Brown shoes and a haircut．That is when I got this big idea，which hit me like a ton of bricks. If the Elvis hair cut was the big secret，then that’s what I was going to get．All the way to town I told everybody, including the matron(女管家)from the orphanage who was taking us to town，that I was going to look just like Elvis Presley and that I would learn to move around just like he did and that I would be rich and famous one day, just like him．When I got my new Buster Brown shoes, I could hardly wait for my new hair cut and now that I had my new Busier Brown shoes I would be very happy to go back to the orphanage and practice being like Elvis.We f inally arrived at the big barber shop，where they cut our hair for free because we were orphans(孤儿)．I looked at the barber and said，“I want an E lvis hair cut. Can you make my hair like Elvis?”I asked him，with a big smile on my face．“Let's just see what we can do for you，little man，”he said．I was so happy when he started to cut myhair．Just as he started to cut my hair, the matron signed for him to come over to where she was standing．She whispered something into his ear and then he shook his head，like he was telling her“No”．Then he told me they were not allowed to give us Elvis hair cuts．Then I saw my hair falling onto the floor．21．In the author’s eyes，Elvis Presley was_________．A．disgusting B．admirable C．ambitious D．dynamic22．From the passage，we can know that______________．A．Buster Brown was more appealing than Elvis PresleyB．An Elvis hair cut cost the orphans a lot of moneyC．The matron did not want the boy to have an Elvis hair cutD．The barber was unwilling to give the boy an Elvis hair cut23．We can learn from the underlined sentence that the boy was______．A．excited to have an Elvis hair cut B．worried to think about the secret C．anxious to remove the ton of bricks D．careful to seize the chance 24．How would the boy probably feel when he walked out of the barber shop? A．Delighted． B．Guilty． C．Self-satisfied．D．Depressed．BInstagram is a fast，beautiful and fun way to share your life with friends and family．Take a picture or video，choose a filter to transform its look and feel, and then post to Instagram—it's that easy．You can even share to Facebook, Twitter and more．It’s a new way to see the world．So many photos of food are contained on Instagram—now a pop-up diner in London is taking advantage of this new trend by letting people settle the bill for their meals simply by uploading photos of their dishes to social networks．I always thought people’s taking pictures of their food was kind of silly, but at this new pop-up restaurant in the UK，I’d probably do it too．“The Picture House”is the world’s first pay-by-photo restaurant—you order， click a photo of the food，share on Instagram and eat for free!The restaurant belongs to frozen food giant(巨人)Birds Eye，who came up with the idea to cash in on people’s addiction with photographing food and sharing the pictures online.They conducted a survey and found out that more than half of the British population regularly took pictures of their meals．So they realized it was a better way to advertise their new dining range．The pop-up diner was open in Soho，London for three days in May，and is now moving to other major UK cities．They serve two-course meals that custom ers don’t have to pay for, if they photo and lnstagram it．The restaurant is a part of Birds Eye’s“Food for Life”campaign，a new marketing project that aims at changing the way people look at frozen food．“Taking photos of food enables people to show off and to share their mealtime moments—from the everyday to the special，”said marketing director Margaret Jobling．The reaction to The Picture House has been great so far. And the pay-by-picture concept has proven to be an effective way．Alternative payment methods are actually gaining popularity among a lot of businesses．Last year in a cafe in Germany customers pay by how much time they spend there，not by what they eat．25．Instagram probably is______．A．a restaurant free of charge B．a campaign of“Food for Life’’C．a program used to share photos D．a new marketing project26．What’s the author’s attitude to this new trend?A．Confused B．UnconcernedC．Opposed D．Interested27．“The Picture House”encourages sharing photos of its food to_____．A．raise the price of frozen food B．attract more customersC．create a new social media trend D．reward the regular customers28．Which of the following can serve as the best title for the passage?A．Pay by Picture B．The Pop-up Diner C．No Need to Pay D．Food for LifeCChi na’s famous scientist, the Cloth Shoes Academician Li Xiaowen passed away on January 10th, 2015 in Beijing at the age of 67. Hundreds of thousands of netizens sang high praise for him o nline, showing their respect to the leading authority in remote sensing field. Following Li Xiaowen’s last wish, his family held a simple funeral for him, while manyadmirers from all over the country came to the funeral for remembrance. Some national leaders including Premier Li Keqiang also sent a wreath.Li was a professor at Beijing Normal University and an academician of the Chinese Academy of Science. His research achievements have advanced the development of remote sensing science, and made China one of the leaders in this field. He also received several famous science prizes from China. He published 1,878 essays on his blog since 2007. All his students have thumbed up to Li for his contributions to the development of remote sensing. He was known to everyone in the remote sensing circle, but was impressive on netizens for a photo.In recent years, Pr ofessor Li’s quiet and self-effecing behavior was recognized through social media. In 2014, a photograph of Academician Li was taken by his student, in which he was attentively making a lecture with shabby clothes, grizzled(斑白的) hair and straggling beard, without socks, and wearing black cloth shoes. He looked like an old villager, rather than a famous scientist. The photo became popular on the Internet and earned him the title of the “Cloth Shoes Academician.” His simple pl ain image, kindness to all his students and dedication to his career are three important features on him. All these are precious to educational and academic community.“The society is changeable but Academician Li is quiet. He faced all stuff with his char acters of quietness and simplicity. It is clear that he has become the ‘Teacher Immortal’.” said Ge Yuejing, a senior leader of Beijing Normal University.29. Why was Li Xiaowen popular with netizens?A. He had great achievements while he lived a simple life.B. He had high social statue while he wore shabby clothes.C. He was famous in the world while he was kind to students.D. He was poor while he dedicated much to his career.30. The second paragraph mainly tells us ________.A. why Li Xiaowen was called the Cloth Shoes AcademicianB. how Li Xiaowen was loved by h is studentsC. how Li Xiaowen did his researchD. what achievements Li Xiaowen has made31. Which statement is TRUE according to the passage?A. Premier Li Keqia ng came to Li Xiaowen’s funeral.B. A good teacher needs to publish essays on the Internet.C. Social media made Professor Li Xiaowen world-famous.D. Professor Li’s attitude to life and his career earned himself high praise and respect.DWhat is the first thing you notice when you walk into a shop? The products displayed(展示)at the entrance? Or the soft background music?But have you ever notice the smell? Unless it is bad，the answer is likely to be no．But while a shop’s scent may not be outstanding compared with sights and sounds，it is certainly there．And it is providing to be an increasing powerful tool in encouraging people to purchase．A brand store has become famous for its distinctive scent which floats through the fairly dark hall and out to the entrance，via scent machines. A smell may be attractive but it may not just be used for freshening air．One sports goods company once reported that when it first introduced scent into its stores，customers’ intension to purchase increased by 80 percent．When it comes to the best shopping streets in Pairs，scent is just as important to a brand’s success as the quality of its window displays and goods on sales．That is mainly because shopping is a very different e xperience to what it used to be．Some years ago，the focus for brand name shopping was on a few people with sales assistants’disproving attitude and don’t-touch-what-you-can’t afford displays．Now the rise of electronic commerce(e-commerce)has opened up famous brands to a wider audience．But while e-shops can use sights and sounds，only bricks-and-mortar stores(实体店)can offer a full experience from the minute customers step through the door to the moment they leave. Another brand store seeks to be much more than a shop，but rather a destination．And scent is just one way to achieve this．Now a famous store uses complex man-made smell to make sure that the soft scent of baby powder floats through the kid department，and coconut(椰子)scent in the swimsuit section．Adepartment store has even opened a new lab，inviting customers on a journey into the store’s windows to smell books，pots and drawers，in search of their perfect scent. 32．According to the passage，what is an increasingly powerful tool in the success of some brand store?A．Friendly assistant． B. Unique scents．C．Soft background music D．attractive window display．33．E-shops are mentioned in the passage to_____．A．show the advantages of brick-and-mortar storesB．urge shop assistants to change their attitudeC．push stores to use sights and soundsD．introduce the rise of e-commerce34．The underlined word“destination”in Paragraph 5 me ans_____．A．a platform that exhibits goodsB．a spot where travelers like to stayC. a place where customers love to goD．a target that a store expects to meet35．The main purpose of the passage is to________．A．compare and evaluate B．examine and assessC．argue and discuss D．inform and explain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。

Just as he expected, a little boy soon appeared by the store owner's sign."How much are you going to sell the puppies for?" he asked. The store owner replied, "$10 for each." The little boy reached in his pocket and pulled out some change. "I have $2.50" he said. "May I please look at them?"The store owner smiled and whistled, taking out five dogs. One puppy was left behind, immediately the little boy singled it out and said, "What's wrong with that little dog?" The store owner explained that the little puppy was disabled. It would always be lame.The little boy became excited. "That is the little puppy that I want to buy." The store owner said "No, you don't want to buy that little dog. If you really want him, I'll just give him to you.”The little boy got quite upset, looked into the store owner's eyes, pointing his finger, and said, "I don't want you to give him to me. That dog is worth eveny bit as much as all the other dogs and I'll pay full price. In fact, I'll give you $2.50 now, and 50 cents a month until I have him paid for."The store owner countered, "You really don't want to buy this little dog. He is never going to be able to run and jump and play with you like the other puppies.'On hearing this, the little boy reached down and rolled up his pant leg to reveal a badly twisted, crippled left leg supported by a big metal brace. He looked up at the store owner and softly replied, "Well, I don't run so well myself and the little puppy will need someone who understands!”21. Why does the shop owner stick the sign?A. To advertise all his goods.B. To attract little children.C. To warn about the danger of dogs.D. To keep the wind out.22.Why did the boy become excited when he knew the dog was lame'?A. Because he could buy it at a low price.B. Because he didn't have enough money for a good one.C. Because he had the similar disability.D. Because he found a partner to share his sadness.23. If the boy bought the dog, he would pay for it _________.A. in 15 monthsB. in 3 monthsC. in 1 yearD. at that time24. The underlined word “countered” can be replaced by _________.A. agreedB. insistedC. calculatedD. contradictedBOwning a smart phone may not be as smart as you think. They may let you surf the Internet, listen to music and snap photos wherever you are... but they also turn you into a workaholic (工作狂). A study suggests that, by giving you access to emails at all times, the all-singing, all-dancing mobile phone adds as much as two hours to your working day.Researchers found that Britons work an additional 460 hours a year on average as they are able to respond to emails on their mobiles. The study by technology retailer Pixmania, shows the average UK working day is between nine and ten hours, but a further two hours is spent responding to or sending work emails, or making work calls. Almost one in ten admits spending up to three hours outside their normal working day checking work emails. Some workers confess (坦白) they are on call almost 24 hours a day, with nine out of ten saying they take work emails and calls outside their normal working hours. Nearlytwo-thirds say they often check work emails just before they go to bed and as soon as they wake up, while over a third have replied to one in the middle of the night.Ghadi Hobeika, marketing director of Pixmania, said, “The ability to access millions of apps, keep in contact via social networks and take photos and video as well as text and call has made smart phones valuable for many people. However, there are drawbacks. Many companies expect their employees to be on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and smart phones mean that people cannot get away from work. The more constantly in contact we become, the more is expected of us in a work capacity (容量).”25. The text is probably taken from __________.A. a scientific reportB. a financial reportC. a newspaperD. a travel journal26. The underlined word “drawbacks” in the last parag raph probably means __________.A. disagreementsB. disadvantagesC. mistakesD. features27. Ghadi may agree that __________.A. employees are supposed to be on call 24 hours a dayB. the ability to access many apps made smart phones worthlessC. smart phones might turn a person into a workaholicD. people cannot get away from work without smart phones28. What is the main idea of this passage?A. Smart phones are lengthening working hours.B. Smart phones are becoming valuable for many people.C. Britons work an additional 460 hours a year on average.D. Smart phones are more beneficial to our life than we think.CThe sharing economy has grown in recent years to include everything from apartment sharing to car sharing to community tool sharing. Since 2009, a new form of sharing economy has been emerging in neighborhoods throughout the US and around the world—— Little Free Library. The libraries are boxes placed in neighborhoods from which residents can withdraw (取出) and deposit (存入) books. Little Free Libraries come in all shapes and sizes. Some libraries also have themes, focusing on books for children, adults, or tour guides.In 2009, Tod Bol built the first Little Free Library as a gift to his mother, who was a devoted reader. When he saw the people of his community gathering around it, exchanging conversation as well as books, he knew he wanted to take his simple idea further. “I think Little Free Libraries open the door to conversations we want to have with each other,” Bol said.Since then, his idea has become a movement, spreading from state to state and country to country. According to Little , there are now 18,000 of the little structures around the world, located in each of the 50 US states and 70 countries in Europe, Africa and Asia.The Internet has helped to spread Little Free Libraries. But an Atlantic article says the little structures serve as a cure for a world of e-reader downloads. The little wooden boxes are refreshinglyphy sical and human. For many people, the sense of discovery is Little Free Libraries’ main appeal. “A girl walking home from school might pick up a graphic novel that gets her excited about reading; a man on his way to the bus stop might find a volume of poet ry that changes his outlook on life,” says the Atlantic article. “Every book is a potential source of inspiration”.29. How do Little Free Libraries get their books?A. The communities bought them.B. Tod Bol donated them.C. US government provided them.D. Citizens shared them.30. Why did Tod Bol want to build more Little Free Libraries?A. They can offer neighbors more chances to talk.B. He was inspired by the sharing economy.C. He wanted to promote his idea worldwide.D. They are a gift to please his mother.31. What does the author of the Atlantic article believe?A. Little Free Libraries are more popular than e-reader downloads.B. E-reader downloads are undoubtedly beneficial.C. Little Free Libraries are physical and human.D. The Internet has helped to spread Little Free Libraries.32. Little Free Libraries attract readers most in that ________.A. they are in various shapes and sizesB. they are located all over the worldC. they connect strangers togetherD. they may give readers a sense of discoveryDAmerica’s Best National ParksPacific: Yosemite National Park, CalifClosest city: Oakland, Calif. (3.5-hour drive)This Golden State treasure has dense forests and rock formations like the Half Dome—a naturalist’s dream in winter, spring, summer or fall. “Anytime of year, it’s such an important park,” says Patricia Schultz, author of 1000 Places to See Before you Die. She recommends taking a tour with a naturalist guide to learn about the reintroduction of wolves into the park.Pacific: Denali National Park, AlaskaClosest city: Fairbanks, Alaska (two-hour drive)Denali National Park includes the towering(高耸的) Mt.

After three years behind the bars, she was released. Only a few years later, she was given a sentence far worse—she had an incurable and progressive disorder and would be totally blind. Meanwhile, Grace was also happily pregnant but terrified she would never see her child’s face. She believed she would succeed as a mother, although “success” had never been in her vocabulary before. She managed well despite fading vision.For years she kept consulting specialists about her eye problems, only to be told that her son would also be blind by the time he was a teenager. She swore to find something, anything, to prevent him from facing her fate. When conventional medicine offered no hope, Grace began a personal quest. She entered a local college. The office for disabled students had her reading assignments put on cassette tapes so that she could listen and learn. She began studying anatomy, physiology and other health sciences. Everyone knowing her was astonished at her persistence to educate herself, restore her vision and keep focused on raising a son who would have perfect eyesight.Eventually Grace’s own way worked and she earned the Ph. D. in Holistic Health for her successful work in improving serious eye disorder. Her eyesight slowly improved so much that she was able to qualify for a driving license. Even better, her son had perfect vision and was accepted into the Air Force.21. From the passage we can know that Grace used to be _______.A. aggressiveB. troublesomeC. ignorantD. competitive22.

On most days, our grades were based on our oral answers to homework questions.Mrs.Totten usually walked up and down the rows of desks requesting answers from student after student in the order the questions had appeared on our homework sheets. She would start either at the front or the back of the classroom and work toward the other end.S ince I was seated near the middle of about 35 students, it was easy to figure out which questions I might have to answer. This particular time, I had completed my usual two or three problems according to my calculations.What I failed to expect was that several students were absent, which threw off my estimate. As Mrs.Totten made her way from the beginning of the class, I desperately tried to determine which math problem I would get. I tried to work it out before she got to me, but I had brain freeze and couldn’t function.When Mrs. Totten reached my desk, she asked what answer I’d got for problem No.14.“I (I)didn’t get anything,” I answered, and my face felt warm.“Correct,” she said.It turned out that the correct answer was zero.What did I learn that day? First, always do all your homework. Second, in real life it isn’t always what you say but how you say it that matters.

AOne day an old woman was traveling alone in the mountains. Suddenly she saw something shining in the stream. When she came close, she found it was a precious stone. She put the stone into her bag and went on with her trip.The next day the old woman met a young man, who was also a traveler in the mountains. The young man looked very hungry, so the old woman opened her bag to share her food. The hungry traveler saw the precious stone and asked carefully, “The stone is beautiful. Would you like to give it to me?”“Sure. Why not?” the woman said, and handed the stone to him.The young man left happily with the stone. He knew it was worth enough to give him security for a lifetime. But a few days later he came back to return the stone to the woman.“I’ve been thinking,” he said. “I know how valuable the stone is, but I give it back and hope that you can give me something even more precious. Give me what you have within your bag.”The woman opened her bag. It was almost empty. She looked at the young man and smiled, “I have nothing special in my bag, but I do have something precious —the joy of giving!”The young man felt ashamed and left silently.21. How did the young man find the precious stone?A. He found it in his food.B. He dug it out in a valley.C. He saw it in the woman’s bag.D. He noticed it shining in the stream.22. What does the underlined word “security” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A. Money.B. Worry.C. Health.D. Trouble.23.

Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?A. A special stoneB. The joy of giving. A woman and a young man D. An experience in the mountainsBUsually, legends are stories of events from long ago. Urban legends, on the other hand, are stories in the recent past, perhaps even last week! Urban legends are that there are many different versions (版本) of the same story, with local information changed to make the story seem more real. Today, the Internet has become a common way for urban legends to spread very quickly.A good example of an urban legend is the story of the girl who was killed by her jeans. In the 1980s, it was popular to wear very tight jeans. At that time, Levi’s sold special jeans that shrank (缩水) when you washed them. According to the story, a girl wanted to make her jean as tight as possible, so she wore them in the water. Unluckily, they shrank so much that the girl died. In fact, t his legend came from a Levi’s advertisement on TV. In the TV ad, a man stepped into the water and his tight jeans became the right size.However, some stories that sound like urban legends really come from real events. For example, there is a story about muggers (抢劫者) using snakes to rob people. There have been real reports about this. The muggers hold a snake in a person’s face and then take the person’s money. According to the legend, these muggers are very common, so you should keep an eye out for strangers carrying snakes.25. What’s the main idea of the passage?A. It tells readers some surprising stories.B. It tells readers what urban legends are.C. It tells readers how to make up urban legends.D. It tells readers a TV ad.26. The passage tells us that urban legends ______.A. usually take place in the country, or in small townsB. have the same version in different placesC. none of them come from real eventsD. are immediately known because of the Internet27.

Which story in the passage really happened?A. The dog in the microwave.B. The dead man in the office.C. The girl killed by her jeans.D. The muggers using snakes.CFor many people in the US, sports are not just for fun.

AJerome Kern is often called “The father of American musical theater (音乐剧)”. Kern is remembered for the hundreds of songs he wrote for musical plays and movies. Music historians say that Kern gave artistic importance to American popular music for the first time.Jerome Kern was born into a middle-class family in New York City in 1885. Jerome’s mother, Fanny, loved the piano. She began to teach Jerome how to play it when he was very young. He became a fair piano player, but not so good that anyone expected him to become a great musician.Jerome was a quiet boy. When he completed high school, his father said he would have to work in the family’s store. Mr. Kern said his son could never make money by writing music. But he later came to believe that Jerome might do better in music than in business after all. So he let the boy go to Europe to study music, as almost all serious young musicians did at the time.Jerome Kern began his career as a songwriter in theaters in London and later in New York City. Success came quickly. By the early 1920s, Kern was a successful young composer for Broadway musical comedies. In one three-year period alone, he wrote music for 19 shows.Other people wrote the words for Kern’s songs. Kern wrote only the music. And he worked on each song endlessly until he was satisfied that the music was perfect. He almost never changed his music to fit the words.One critic wrote this about h is music: Kern’s songs are like black and whit e drawings. They need no color,no decoration. His song is always in balance, perfect in form and pleasing in design.21.

According to the critic’s comments in the last paragraph, .A. Kern’s works are pure without any unnecessary decorationsB. Kern’s works will be better with more colors and decorationsC. Kern’s works always present sadness and other bad emotionsD. Kern’s works are looked down upon by criticsBMy friend Jessie and I have known each other since we were very young. Friendships get more precious as we get older, and when we reached our forties, we decided we needed to put in a little more work to keep our friendship strong, healthy and growing. We pick out one Saturday a month and promise to do something together. Sometimes we have a long lunch out. Other times we go to see a movie or shopping. But at least once a quarter, we have an adventure.In some adventures we drove to our favorite places. In other adventures we spent a night in a place sharing a festival like Christmas or sometimes we just drove, stopping wherever we wanted. We have headed out of the state to Tennessee. We have tried out new restaurants and new shops.One of our adventures took us to a very small town in south Georgia. It was one of those watermelon or cotton or peanut festivals, and we enjoyed buying the handmade gifts and eating the terrific foods. The most impressive was a parade（游行）, with local school marching bands and service groups. We joined the parade and began smiling and waving! Everyone smiled and waved back! Of course, their smiling faces turned confused and puzzled as we passed in our car. “Who are these women?” they must have wondered. Finally, we turned a corner and a serious-looking policeman directed us back to the highway. We really had a great day!Fun is always on the menu, whether it’s a weekend trip or a couple of hours over lunch. We talk and have influence on each other’s life. We sha re our struggles and our happiness. We ask for and receive advice. And we laugh!Don’t keep promising yourself that “someday soon” you will get together with them. Do it now. Pick up your phone and make a plan for this weekend. You need it. Your friend ne eds it. You’ll be a happier, healthier person for it!25. What can we infer from the first paragraph?A.

Keeping our friendship strong and healthyC. Having lunch out with a friendD. Getting together once in a quarterCThe SAT is one of two major tests for the entrance to American colleges and universities. The othertest is called the ACT. More than 2 million students take the SAT yearly, including about 100,000 foreign students. The organization of the SAT will change the entrance test in 2016. The College Board announced that the new SAT will no longer test students on rarely used words. But it will include passages from American historical documents or from writings on freedom and human rights.The College Board says words on the new test will be related to usage. Students will be asked to tell the meaning of words according to the context of the reading passages. Nigerian student Peace Umoru is in her first year at Howard University. She says the rarely used words are the hardest part for international students. The new test will be easier because of the reform（改革）.Eddie West is with the College Board. He says the new test will better predict a student’s performance in college. The changes are moving the test in a positive direction. The new SAT pays more attention to skills and abilities that students need to succeed. The addition of material about American historical documents could make the test harder for international students. After all, they live in different countries with different cultures. But it’s a good chance for them to understand the Declaration of Independence (《独立宣言》) or Martin Luther King’s work, or anything else that might be tested.Students from other countries, particularly those who did not grow up learning English, may feel it is more difficult. For them, the test is in a foreign language. But the College Board says it has formed a free, online educational service. Khan Academy will provide preparation material linked to the newly designed SAT.29. What will be removed from the new SAT?A. Words that are often used.B. Words that are seldom used.C. Passages about human rights.D. Material about American historical documents.30. What will be tested in the new SAT?A. All the different meanings of a word.B. The rare usage of the common words.C. The difficult words for foreign students.D. The proper meaning of the words in the passages.31. Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?A. Eddie West is against the changes to the SAT.B. The SAT is an entrance test just for foreign students.C. The SAT is the only entrance test to American colleges.D. The foreign students should make great efforts to pass the SAT.32. What’s the main idea of the text?A. How to prepare for the new SAT.B. The SAT will change the entrance test in 2016.C. Advice for foreign students on passing the SAT.D. Tests for entrance to American colleges and universities.DThousands of jobs come into our Job Center and Employment Office every week, but they get snapped up quickly.
