ASome successful brands are memorable for their creativity.They convey accurate information to us.However, some of these origins are very interesting.GoogleThe world’s largest search engine has developed a brand.Its founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin knew their company’s potential when they were freshmen at Stanford.The original plan was to name it“googol”,which meant “a huge number”,but Larry Page misspelled it as“Google”.Both the site and the company registered“Google”. However,this error distinguishes“Google”from other search engines.McDonald’sThe original name came from the last name of the inventors:Maurice“Mac”and Richard“Dick”McDonald. Before1940,they owned and operated a successful restaurant,but once World WarⅡwas over,they decided to try a new system to reduce the time people spent waiting for their food.So the first McDonald’s opened in1948. Over time,their simple and bright colors have made it one of the most recognizable symbols on the earth.RolexHans Wilsdorf,founder of the Rolex brand,says he wants a short watch name to pronounce easily.After combining all the letters and coming up with100possible names,none of them fit the bill.But a trip on a horse-drawn ride changed the fate of his company,because a“genius”,as he called it,whispered the word“Rolex”into his ear.IKEAFounded in1943,IKEA went from selling all kinds of objects to becoming the benchmark of Swedish creativity worldwide with its furniture and facilitates packaging.The word IKEA is a combination of the first letters of founder’s first name and last name:Ingvar Kamprad,the farm where he grew up:Elmtaryd,and the town in southern Sweden where it was located:Agunnaryd.21.What contributed to the brand“Google”?A.The company’s plan.B.The company’s potential.rry Page’s mistake.D.Sergey Brin’s creation.22.What was the original intention of McDonald’s?A.To earn more money.B.To offer convenience for customers.C.To create simple and bright colors.D.To expand the business to the world.23.Which brand has something to do with the founder’s hometown?A.Google.B.McDonald’s.C.Rolex.D.IKEA.BWhen I was six,I was so desperate to be out in nature.I’d be transported through David’s documentaries(纪录片)to all these amazing places.I did a PhD studying ants and butterflies,before getting a call from the BBC asking about my work for a show called Life in the Undergrowth.I was so excited and immediately begged,“Please let me help!”Sir David himself came to film with me,so I got to meet him early on,and he is the loveliest person.Something was wrong with the car.He dived straight under it to try to fix it.His enthusiasm and passion was so real.The first trip I did with him was to Israel as an assistant producer,then in Madagascar.My dream came true.Usually,we spend six weeks filming for about three minutes of TV.What usually happens is that we’re going to film one thing but the animal ends up doing something else.We stay in whatever basic accommodation is the closest,because we can’t waste time on the way.So it’s rare that we stay in a hotel.Patience is the key,then learning and listening.Of course you encounter animals that could hurt you.There was a moment on Planet Earth where a wolf approached me and we had o push it off with a camera.During filming for Seven Worlds we came across a beautiful but deadly snake,which casually came into our room.I took it up in a hat and put it back into the jungle.I still remember the chimps in Senegal jumped on a tree next to me and pushed it to the ground.He was like saying,“You can stay here,but if I wanted to crash you,I could.”When we film certain animals,like lions for example,we must be vigilant.We know they will attack other creatures for their territories,but there’s something fascinating in the small creatures.I’ve always cared about these beautiful lives and the planet.I desperately want to preserve the creatures in the natural world.24.Why did the author agree to work for BBC?A.He could study more animals.B.He would travel abroad.C.He could work with David.D.He would become famous.25.What quality is the most important for the author’s job?A.Patience.B.Listening.C.Enthusiasm.D.Observation.26.What does paragraph4mainly talk about?A.Clever avoidance keeps animals away.B.Filming in nature has potential danger.C.The author prefers strange experiences.D.Violent behaviors are common in the wild.27.What does the underlined word“vigilant”in the last paragraph mean?A.Cautious.B.Strict.C.Energetic.D.Powerful.CNo video games are allowed after10pm.It is not allowed to play games for more than90minutes on non-holidays.No more than400yuan per month is allowed to buy virtual weapons and costumes.The Chinese government has issued new regulations aimed at controlling teenager’s addiction to video games. Some officials believe that this problem is the reason why more and more young people are suffering from myopia (近视)and poor learning.The rules forbid users under the age of18from playing between10pm and8am.The rules demand that they shouldn’t play more than90minutes on non-holidays and more than3hours on weekends and other holidays.Officials have taken stronger measures to monitor large technology companies and promote them to help spread the advocated cultural values.The official media regarded some games as“poisons”and banned some violent games.In addition,minors must use real names and ID numbers when they log into the game.These regulations also limit the amount of money that teenagers can use to purchase virtual items such as weapons, clothing,and pets through the app.Analysts said that these regulations have been largely predicted by the industry and are unlikely to affect its earnings.However,young gamers may also find ways to bypass(绕开)the rules,such as using the parent’s phone number and ID number.“There will always be something imperfect,”said Daniel Ahmad,senior analyst at Niko Partners.However,he added that thanks to the regulations,China is now one of the most regulated video game markets in the world.Yang Bingben is the owner of an industrial technology company.He noticed that his son often plays games that don’t require networking and is difficult to control.“We have something new to replace the games,”he said,“our thinking should be to build more stadiums,such as football stadiums and basketball courts.”28.The new regulations will help Chinese teenagers with their_______.A.intelligenceB.study and eyesightC.personalitiesD.constitutions and morals29.What did Daniel Ahmad think of the regulations?A.They are adjustable.B.They are creative.C.They are effective.D.They are worthless.30.What can be inferred from Yang Bingben’s words?A.Teenagers are spending more time in the stadiums.B.Football and basketball will be popular with teenagers.C.Getting rid of the addiction to video games is impossible.D.Doing sports helps prevent teenagers playing video games.31.In which section of a newspaper can you read the text?A.Literature.cation.C.Fashion.D.Sport.DPut“crottin de chevre”into Google Translate,and you’ll be told it means“goat dung(粪)”.So if it appeared on a menu,you might feel sick of it.Actually,you have missed a delicious cheese made of goat’s milk that is often served as a starter in France.Such misunderstandings are why Google admits that its free tool,used by about500million people,is not intended to replace human translators.Tourists might accept a few misunderstandings because the technology is cheap and convenient.But perhaps in business,law or medicine,these services often fall short.“Using Google Translate can lead to some serious errors,especially when words have multiple meanings,which is often the case in fields such as law or engineering,”says Samantha Langley,a translator in France.That is not to say professional translators do not use Computer Assisted Translation(CAT)tools.Some applications can help them take the dull work out of repetitive translations.CATs are even used as part of modern language degree courses these days.So how good are they?One of the most popular new tools is the so-called translation ually paired with a smartphone app, they pick up spoken foreign languages and translate them for the user.“It has taken decades of research to combine that with speech recognition technology,which has allowed us to make a huge leap forward in terms of accuracy,”says Andrew Ochoa,chief executive of Waverly Labs,which produces translation earphones.“For meetings and conferences,wearable translators like Waverly’s are undoubtedly popular.But even this new generation tech has ers must wait at least a few seconds for a phrase to be translated,or more if the internet connection is poor.”And computers still lack the subtlety(微妙)of human communication.“I find it’s actually harder to desert part of the sentence and rebuild it than to just create something from the beginning,”says Antonio,a translator.But he thinks this problem could be resolved within the next10years.32.What does the author intend to do in paragraph1?A.Add some more related information.B.Provide some advice for the readers.C.Summarize the following paragraphs.D.Introduce the topic of the text.33.How do professional translators do to improve their working efficiency?A.By changing Google Translate.B.By surfing online.C.By using CAT tools.D.By working with engineers.34.What advantage does the translation earphone have compared with many CATs?A.It is more accurate.B.It is more attractive.C.It is cheaper.D.It is smaller.35.What may be the best title for the text?A.Are Computer Translators Good?B.Why do Human Translators Need Help?C.What Is the Problem of Human Translators?D.Can Computer Translators Replace Human Translators?第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

He received great praise for his powerful performance at Stanley Kowalski in Tennessee William s’ play, A Streetcar Named Desire. His fame grew when he acted the same part in the movie version, released in 1951.Marlon Brando won the Best Actor Oscar for The God Father, but he rejected it. He sent a woman named Sasheen Littlefeather to speak for him at the Academy Awards ceremony. She said that Brando could not accept the award because of the way the American film industry treated Native Americans. The people at the Academy Awards ceremony did not like the speech. But some experts think the action helped change the way American Indians were shown in movies.Marlon Brando acted in about forty movies. He was nominated for a total of eight Academy Awards. But he earned a “bad boy” reputation for his public outbursts and unusual behaviours. According to Los Angeles magazine, “Brando was rock and roll before anybody knew what rock and roll was”. His later life was marked with fami ly tragedies. His son Christian went to prison for killing his daughter Cheyene’s boyfriend. Cheyene later committed suicide. Brando became lonely. He worked occasionally for the money. But, in his prime, Marlon Brando was an actor other actors could only hope to become.61.

It will be the first time that card payments have outstripped cash outlay for goods and services. There are 246 plastic card transactions made every second. Total plastic card use is expected to exceed £269 billion in 2014, just a whisker ahead of the predicted £268 billion for cash payments, said banking industry body the Association for Payment Clearing Services.The group, which represents the major banks, said credit cards had become “demonized”（魔鬼化）as one of the main causes of ballooning debts, but added: “Without plastic, our society would virtually stop .”Last year, the number of plastic cards in use in China grew by 13 million, or 9%, to 160million—the equivalent of 3.5 cards per adult. Two-thirds of card transactions are now made using debit cards. Plastic accou nted for £244 billion of spending in 2013. “This year, total plastic card use, if business card usage is included, is expected to top £269 billion. In 2015 it is expected that personal plastic card usage alone will overtake cash payments,” said Chen. In terms of numbers of transactions, cash will remain much bigger than plastic for some time to come，it added. Cash will always remain there for low-value payments.”Meanwhile, 2013 was the year that e-commerce “came of age” in the China. More than 18 million people bought goods or services online, up 50% in 2012.

Fraud losses on plastic cards fell by 5% to £402 million as measures to combat crooks started to take effect.A new generation of cards containing computer chips is being introduced, and by the end of this year most people making face-to-face purchases will have to type their four-digit Pin number into keypads at tills and will no longer have to sign receipts.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN EIGHT WORDS)68.
