2015届高考终极压轴卷——英语(新课标II)
2015年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试新课标全国卷Ⅱ英语试卷和答案解析
2015年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试（新课标全国卷Ⅱ）英语AMy color television has given me nothing but a headache. I was able to buy it a little over a year ago because I had my relatives give me money for my birthday instead of a lot of clothes that wouldn't fit.I let a salesclerk fool me into buying a discontinued model. I realized this a day later, when I saw newspaper advertisements for the set at seventy-five dollars less than I had paid. The set worked so beautifully when I first got it home that I would keep it on until stations signed off for the night.Fortunately, I didn't get any channels showing all-night movies or I would never have gotten to bed.Then I started developing a problem with the set that involved static(静电)noise. For some reason,when certain shows switched into a commercial, a loud noise would sound for a few seconds. Gradually, this noise began to appear during a show, and to get rid of it, I had to change to another channel and then change it back. Sometimes this technique would not work, and I had to pick up the set and shake it to remove the sound. I actually began to build up my arm muscles(肌肉)shaking my set.When neither of these methods removed the static noise,I would sit helplessly and wait for the noise to go away. At last I ended up hitting the set with my fist, and it stopped working altogether. My trip to the repair shop cost me $62, and the set is working well now, but I keep expecting more trouble.1. Why did the author say he was fooled into buying the TV set?A. He got an older model than he had expected.B. He couldn't return it when it was broken.C. He could have bought it at a lower price.D. He failed to find any movie shows on it.2. Which of the following can best replace the phrase“signed off”in Paragraph 1?A. ended all their programsB. provided fewer channelsC. changed to commercialsD. showed all-night movies3. How did the author finally get his TV set working again?A. By shaking and hitting it.B. By turning it on and off.C. By switching channels.D. By having it repaired.4. How does the author sound when telling the story?A. Curious.B. Anxious.C. Cautious.D. Humorous.BYour house may have an effect on your figure. Experts say the way you design your home could play a role in whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off. You can make your environment work for you instead of against you. Here are some ways to turn your home into part of your diet plan.Open the curtains and turn up the lights. Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating, for people are often less self-conscious (难为情的) when they're in poorly lit places—and so more likely to eat lots of food. If your home doesn't have enough window light, get more lamps and flood the place with brightness.Mind the colors. Research suggests warm colors fuel our appetites. In one study, people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room. Warm colors like yellow make food appear more appetizing, while cold colors make us feel less hungry. So when it's time to repaint, go blue.Don't forget the clock—or the radio. People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories (卡路里) per meal than those who rush through their meals. Begin keeping track of the time, and try to make dinner last at least 30 minutes. And while you're at it, actually sit down to eat. If you need some help slowing down, turn on relaxing music. It makes you less likely to rush through a meal.Downsize the dishes. Big serving bowls and plates can easily make us fat. We eat about 22 percent more when using a 12-inch plate instead of a 10-inch plate. When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one, total intake (摄入) jumps by 14 percent. And we'll pour about 30 percent more liquid into a short, wide glass than a tall, skinny glass.5. The text is especially helpful for those who care about ________.A. their home comfortsB. their body shapeC. house buyingD. healthy diets6. A home environment in blue can help people _______.A. digest food betterB. reduce food intakeC. burn more caloriesD. regain their appetites7. What are people advised to do at mealtimes?A. Eat quickly.B. Play fast music.C. Use smaller spoons.D. Turn down the lights.8. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Is Your House Making You Fat?B. Ways of Serving DinnerC. Effects of Self-ConsciousnessD. Is Your Home Environment Relaxing?CMore students than ever before are taking a gap year(间隔年)before going to university.It used to be called the“year off”between school and university.The gap-year phenomenon originated(起源)with the months left over to Oxbridge applicants between entrance exams in November and the start of the next academic year.This year,25,310 students who have accepted places in higher education institutions have put off their entry until next year,according to statistics on university entrance provided by the University and College Admissions Service(UCAS).That is a record 14.7% increase in the number of students taking a gap year.Tony Higgins from UCAS said that the statistics are good news for everyone in higher education.“Students who take a well-planned year out are more likely to be satisfied with,and complete,their chosen course.Students who take a gap year are often more mature and responsible,”he said.But not everyone is happy.Owain James,the president of the National Union of Students(NUS),argued that the increase is evidence of student hardship—young people are being forced into earning money before finishing their education.“New students are now aware that they are likely to leave university up to ￡15,000 in debt.It is not surprising that more and more students are taking a gap year to earn money to support their study for the degree.NUS statistics show that over 40% of students are forced to work during term time and the figure increases to 90% during vacation periods,”he said.9. What do we learn about the gap year from the text?A. It is flexible in length.B. It is a time for relaxation.C. It is increasingly popular.D. It is required by universities.10. According to Tony Higgins,students taking a gap year .A. are better prepared for college studiesB. know a lot more about their future jobsC. are more likely to leave university in debtD. have a better chance to enter top universities11.

并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑．AYou know how wonderful you are, and you know that others know how wonderful you are, but what do you do when admiration crosses over the line into jealousy(嫉妒)? For most teens there will come a day when you realize that one of your friends is jealous and that this jealousy is hurting your friendship. When this happens it can seem like there is nothing that you can do, but the good news is that there is. Don’t let jealousy spoil your relationships. Deal with it confidently and you might be back to normal much sooner than you think.It can be hard to walk up to a friend and ask them what the problem is, but if you want to save your friendship you’ll have to do just that. Don’t approach them and ask why they are jealous of you unless of course you want to appear totally conceited (逞能), just take some time alone with them and let them know that you’ve been feeling like there’s been something coming between you. If they refuse to respond, then use the opportunity to explain how you have been feeling. Chances are that something you say will strike a nerve and your friend will open up as well.When you figure out what is annoying your friend, ask him or her what (s)he thinks would make the situation better. If, for example, (s)he says that (s)he feels like (s)he doesn’t get to spend any time with you because of your being off with your new friends from the swim team then maybe you could invite her along the next time or block off one day a week for just the twoof you. Remember, th ough, that whatever solution you decide on should be a compromise. Don’t limit your own talents or opportunities simply because your friend is unhappy. Try instead to include him or her in your new life and see how that works out.Even the best of friendships can be ruined by jealousy. This destructive emotion is rarely productive and can turn best friends into worst enemies. Before taking extreme action, chat with your jealous friend to see if the two of you can work out a compromise. If you can’t, be prep ared to know exactly how far you will go to keep your friend and how far you won’t.1. According to the author, the jealousy emotion is________.A. normalB. productiveC. destructiveD. extreme2. What does the author intend to tell us in paragraph 2?A. How to solve the problem of jealousy.B. Why we need to solve the problem of jealousy.C. How to explain your jealousy to your friends.D. Why it is hard to deal with the problem of jealousy.3. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?A. There’s always a solution to solve the problem of jealousy.B. Jealousy can turn best friends into worst enemies.C. You may lose a friend to keep your own gifts, chances or self development.D. You should go a long way with your friend to work out a solution4. This passage is mainly intended for________.A. female readersB. studentsC. teenagersD. best friendsBOne day I was walking home along the street with my iPod on, when suddenly my headphones(耳机) were knocked off my head and a man threw his arm around my neck, saying “Just be quiet.” I was being attacked, and this man’s arm was gripping (紧夹) onto me! I started。

2015高考终极押题卷全国卷外语
2015终极押题卷英语卷试卷分第I卷（选择题）和第II卷（非选择题）两部分，共150分。
考试时间120分钟第I卷第一部分听力（共两节，满分30分）(略)第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题：每小题2分，满分30分）AChange is everything in the case of mobile phones.Recent research indicates that the mobile phone is changing not only our culture,but our very bodies as well.First,let’s talk about culture.The difference between the mobile phone and its parent,the fixed-line phone,is that a mobile number corresponds to a person,while a landline goes to a place. If you call my mobile,you get me.If you call my fixed-line phone,you get whoever answers it.This has several implications（含义）.The most common one,however,and perhaps the thing that has changed our culture forever,is the“meeting”influence.People no longer need to make firm plans about when and where to meet.Twenty years ago,a Friday night would need to be arranged in advance.You needed enough time to allow everyone to get from their place of work to the first meeting place.Now,however,a night out can be arranged on the run.It is no longer“see you there at8”,but“text me around8and we’ll see where we all are.”Texting changes people as well.In their paper,“Insights into the Social and Psychological Effects of SMS(Short Message Service)Text Messaging",two British researchers distinguished between two types of mobile phone users:the“talkers”and the“texters”－those who prefer voice to text messages and those who prefer text to voice.They found that the mobile phone’s individuality and privacy gave texters the ability to express a whole new outer personality.Texters were likely to report that their family would be surprised if they were to read their texts.This suggests that texting allowed texters to present a self-image that differed from the one familiar to those who knew them well.Another scientist wrote of the changes that mobiles have brought to body language.There are two kinds that people use while speaking on the phone.There is the“speakeasy”:the head is held high,in a self-confident way,chatting away.And there is the“spacemaker”:these people focus on themselves and keep out other people.Who can blame them?Phone meetings get cancelled or reformed and camera-phones intrude （侵入）on people’s privacy.So,it is understandable if your mobile makes you nervous.But perhaps you needn’t worry so much.After all,it is good to talk.1.The“meeting”influence of a mobile phone refers to the fact that________.A.people can arrange their meeting place and time more flexiblyB.people have to make a firm plan about when and where to meetC.people are able to meet someone at any place and any timeD.people have to attend phone meetings than ever before22.According to the two British researchers,the Social and Psychological Effects are most likelyto be seen on________.A.talkersB.the“speakeasy”C.the“spacemaker”D.texters23.We can infer from the passage that the texts sent by texters are_________.A.showing or making knownB.well writtenC.unacceptable by othersD.shocking to others24.According to the passage,who is afraid of being heard while talking on the mobile?A.talkersB.the“speakeasy”C.the“spacemaker”D.textersBTop Four Ways to Build a Wonderful Life1.Live Below Your MeansThere will always be temptation to give up the future for immediate pleasure.We all want to buy that new piece of technology,treat ourselves to an expensive night on the town,or take out a loan for the flashy car we can’t afford.It might feel great at the time but unwise spending hurts a lot later on.Enjoy life’s simple pleasures and save as much as you can.Expensive things don’t create lasting happiness and security.Careful spending will bring you greater leisure and enjoyment in the long run.2.Put Your Money to WorkSaving is great,but to make the most of your money you need to put it to work.Good investments can be the difference between retiring in your40’s or in your60’s.A post today at The Simple Dollar really got me thinking.According to Trent’s estimates,if a person in their early20’s invests 20%of their income in an S&P index fund,the interest they earn will equal their current salary when they reach their early40’s.They could retire without a drop in income!Wise investing is the surest path to financial independence and it’s something everyone can work on.It’s definitely an area I’ll be devoting more attention to in my personal life.cate YourselfTo be happy we need continuous growth.The best way to grow is life-long education.This doesn’t mean you need to pursue a doctorate or spend2hours reading every day.Self-education can be anything that takes you out of your comfort zone.The important part is keeping an open mind and searching for fresh ideas and cation builds over time.It might feel like the bits of wisdom you acquire don’t mean much,but over the years they add up to form a wiser,kinder, more interesting person.4.Develop Lasting Personal RelationshipsSuppose you had everything you wanted.Would you be happy without anyone to share it with? The personal relationships we develop with friends and family members are the greatest source of happiness in our lives.Don’t forget about them.Taking the time to cultivate and enjoy personal relationships is essential to long-term happiness.Without the people you care about you’ll probably be miserable,no matter how successful you become.25.According to the passage,in order to achieve financial independence after retirement,we’dbetter________.A.get along well with our family and friendsB.bring ourselves leisure as well as enjoymentC.invest our money wisely when we are youngD.learn some new skills and try to find a new job26.From the passage we can infer that some people try to________.A.gain happiness by buying themselves expensive thingsB.save everything they can to help those in needC.devote more attention to their personal lifeD.take out a loan to promote technology27.The author of the passage may agree that the key to self-education is________.A.gaining as many degrees as possibleB.being open to new ideas and viewsC.only focusing on very big eventsD.creating long-term happiness28.The above passage is written in order to________.A.explain what true happiness is aboutB.offer ways to achieve a happy and successful lifeC.introduce different definitions about D.persuade readers to find out the meaning of lifeCIn the countries of South and Southeast Asia,the elephant has been an important part of the culture,economy and religion for centuries．And nowhere more so than in Thailand．Unlike its African cousin,the Asian elephant is easily domesticated（驯化）．The rare so-called white elephants have actually lent the power of royalty to its rulers，and until the1920s the national flag was a white elephant on a red background．To the early Western visitors,the country's romantic name was“Land of the White Elephant"．Today,however,the story is very different．Out of work and out of land,the Thai elephant struggles for survival in a nation that no longer needs it．The elephant has found itself more or less deserted by previous owners who have moved on to a different economic world and a society in the western part．And while the elephant's problems began many years ago,now it has a very low national advantage．How does the national symbol turn into ignored animals?It is a story of worse environment and the changing lives of the Thais themselves．According to Richard Lair,Thailand's expert on the Asian elephant and author of the report Gone Astray,at the turn of the last century,there may well have been as many as100,000national elephants in the country．In the north of Thailand alone,it was estimated（估计）that more than20,000elephants were employed in transport,1,000of them alone on the road between the cities of Chiang Mai and Chiang Saen．This was at a time when90percent of Thailand was still forest---a habitat that not only supported the animals but also made them necessary to carry goods and people．Nothing ploughs through thick forest better than lots of sure-footed elephants．By1950the elephant population had dropped,but still to the number of13,397．However, today there are probably no more than3,800,with another l,350wandering free in the national parks．But now,Thailand's forest covers only20percent of the land．This deforestation（采伐森林）is the central point of the elephant's difficult situation,for it has effectively put the animals out of work．This century,as the road network grew,the elephant's role as a beast of burden decreased．29．What can we know about African elephants from the passage?A．It is of little value to domesticate them．B．It is hard to domesticate them．C．They are living a better life than Asian elephants．D．Their fate is quite similar to that of Asian elephants．30．Thailand was once called"Land of the White Elephant"because________．A．white elephant was a national symbol until the1920sB．white elephant is rarely seen and thus very specialC．white elephant has helped kings to gain the ruling authorityD．this name was so romantic that it was popular among visitors31．Why is the Thai elephant"out of work",according to the author?A．Because there are too many elephants but too few jobs．B．Because the elephants can't do labor work any longer．C．Because the government pays little attention to the problem．D．Because the elephants are no longer useful to their owners．32．Which of the following statements is TRUE about the elephant population at various times?A．There were100,000domesticated elephants at the turn of the last century．B．20,000elephants were employed in transport in Thailand at the turn of the century．C．By1950the elephant population in Thailand has been quite small．D．Today the elephant population is estimated at5,150．DWhen I heard the piano,I walked to Mrs.Windsor’s house and waited outside as I always did. That meant she was working with another student,and I was not supposed to bother them by ringing the bell.I stood against the wall and daydreamed what I’d rather be doing.“Almost anything”,I sighed dejectedly.I had been tutored enough to read,understand,and even write some musical compositions,but I just didn’t have a gift for it.It didn’t come to me naturally.I thought back to happier times when I was writing stories and acting them out with my friends,cutting up old clothes to make dresses that performers wear in plays,and building scenery out of old things we found.But Mrs.Windsor had offered to give me the lessons for free,so I felt my duty to try.The door opened and Wendy Barton came out.I walked in,sat down on the piano bench and began to sort through my sheet music.“Hello,”I heard a voice behind me say softly.I turned around to see a little girl standing behind me,eating an apple.But before I could make any response,Mrs.Windsor walked into the room in her usual urgent manner and announced,“Jennifer,this is my niece,Pasha.Pasha,this is Jennifer.Pasha will be giving you your lesson today.I’m up to my ears in something else!”she then exited to the kitchen.Pasha set her apple down on the side table and slid beside me on the piano bench.“What piece do you like best?”she asked.“What do you mean?”I asked.“They’re all the same to me.I don’t know.“You mean you don’t have a favorite?”“No,not really.”Pasha looked at me,rather puzzled,then opened my sheet music to the beginning page and asked me to play.I arranged my fingers on the keys and studied the notes on the page for a moment.Then I frowned and concentrated to make the notes on the page match the finger movements.I have to admit I was a rather mechanical pianist.After about a page or two,Pasha gently put her hand on top of mine as if to calm my fingers. There was a long pause.“What are you hearing in the music?”I looked at her rather strangely and admitted I didn’t know what she meant.“Like a story.What story is being playing out within the music?”“I guess I’ve never thought about it before.I don’t know.”“Here,let me try and you listen,”Pasha advised.She closed her eyes and took a deep breath,letting her fingers dance lightly over the keys. Then,she began to play.“See,it begins here beside some kind of river.Hear the water flowing beside you?”Her fingers rose and fell gently on the keys.“Now the princess appears and she’s picking flowers from the water’s edge.”A carefree,happy piece of music filled the air in time to Pasha’s dancing fingers.“Oh,but she slips!”The music changed.“And our princess is being carried off by the fast-flowing stream.Quickly,the princess’s horse sees her plight(困境),”Pasha continued, and races to the river’s edge where he swims out to let her catch hold of him.They make it to the bank and she hugs her faithful horse and swears she will never again wear princess skirts that weigh her down.She will only wear jeans and T-shirt from now on.”Pasha finished with a big smile and then looked at me.“Aren’t you the girl who tells the stories?”she asked.“I guess.I do tell a lot of stories.”“Oh,yes!All the kids talk about them.I’ve heard about you.Well,all you have to do is learn to hear the stories in the music.That’s all there is to it.”“I’ve never thought it that way.”“Let’s try another one,shall we?”Pasha smiled and together we played that afternoon, finding the stories in the music and learning that sometimes it takes a friend to pull you out of the river onto dry land again.33.The underlined word“dejectedly”in Paragraph1is closest in meaning to_______.A.nervouslyB.desperatelyC.impatientlyD.unhappily34.Jennifer got lost in thought when she________.A.played the piano with Pasha for the first timeB.listened to Pasha tell her story about the princessC.remembered happier times of writing stories and acting them outD.discovered that Mrs.Windsor’s niece would be giving the piano lesson35.By describing herself as a mechanical pianist,the author showed______.A.she could remember the notes in a short timeB.she was playing the piano without thinkingC.Pasha was showing off her skillsD.it had been a long time since she played last time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人空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑．AYou know how wonderful you are, and you know that others know how wonderful you are, but what do you do when admiration crosses over the line into jealousy(嫉妒)? For most teens there will come a day when you realize that one of your friends is jealous and that this jealousy is hurting your friendship. When this happens it can seem like there is nothing that you can do, but the good news is that there is. Don’t let jealousy spoil your relationships. Deal with it confidently and you might be back to normal much sooner than you think.It can be hard to walk up to a friend and ask them what the problem is, but if you want to save your friendship you’ll have to do just that. Don’t approach them and ask why they are jealous of you unless of course you want to appear totally conceited (逞能), just take some time alone with them and let them know that you’ve been feeling like there’s been something coming between you. If they refuse to respond, then use the opportunity to explain how you have been feeling. Chances are that something you say will strike a nerve and your friend will open up as well.When you figure out what is annoying your friend, ask him or her what (s)he thinks would make the situation better. If, for example, (s)he s ays that (s)he feels like (s)he doesn’t get to spend any time with you because of your being off with your new friends from the swim team then maybe you could invite her along the next time or block off one day a week for just the two of you. Remember, tho ugh, that whatever solution you decide on should be a compromise. Don’t limityour own talents or opportunities simply because your friend is unhappy. Try instead to include him or her in your new life and see how that works out.Even the best of friendships can be ruined by jealousy. This destructive emotion is rarely productive and can turn best friends into worst enemies. Before taking extreme action, chat with your jealous friend to see if the two of you can work out a compromise. If you can’t, be prepa red to know exactly how far you will go to keep your friend and how far you won’t.1. According to the author, the jealousy emotion is________.A. normalB. productiveC. destructiveD. extreme2. What does the author intend to tell us in paragraph 2?A. How to solve the problem of jealousy.B. Why we need to solve the problem of jealousy.C. How to explain your jealousy to your friends.D. Why it is hard to deal with the problem of jealousy.3. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?A. There’s always a solution to solve the problem of jealousy.B. Jealousy can turn best friends into worst enemies.C. You may lose a friend to keep your own gifts, chances or self development.D. You should go a long way with your friend to work out a solution4. This passage is mainly intended for________.A. female readersB. studentsC. teenagersD. best friendsBOne day I was walking home along the street with my iPod on, when suddenly my headphones(耳机) were knocked off my head and a man threw his arm around my neck, saying “Just be quiet.” I was being attacked, and this man’s arm was gripping (紧夹) onto me! I started screaming and tried to pull him off me, but failed. He was forcing me to walk towards the back ofa n auto repair shop and he just kept saying “Be quiet.”My mind froze with fear. Then I heard my great-grandmother’s voice in my head. She was saying “Come on now, I know you are stronger than that!” She was the rock in our family until she died four years ago.I have never had any self-defense(自卫) training, but I went for it—I let out a loud scream as I kicked my leg back into his shin(胫骨)! He let go of me and I ran off. When I looked back to see if he was running after me, I saw he was running in the opposite direction. Then I ran like crazy to a nearby drugstore.I asked the girl at the counter for the phone and called my mom. She picked me up five minutes later and I explained what happened through sobs. “I am calling the police!” She exclaimed. When we got home, two officers were waiting for us and I told them what had happened.After my experience, I was afraid to do anything. Things slowly got better, but I still don’t like anyone going near my neck.The fear isn’t totally gone—after all, the guy is still out there somewhere. But I had a new understanding of my own strength. I never expected to be able to fight off an attacker. I am stronger than I realized.1．How did the author get rid of the man?A. Her great-grandmother came and helped.B. She used all her strength to pull him off her.C. Her loud scream scared the attacker and people came to help.D. Her great-grandmother’s words gave her the strength to defend herself.2．After the author escaped from the man, _________.A. she called the policeB. she called her motherC. she screamed to get more attentionD. she looked back to remember his appearance3．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. The accident left no influence on the author now.B. The attack made the author more confident in a way.C. The author Suddenly remembered some self-defense moves.D. The author was so frightened that she did nothing to fight back.4．What might be the author’s purpose of writing this passage?A. To show the importance of self-defense training.B. To warn teenagers of possible dangers on the way to school.C. To show how brave she was while she was being attacked at that time.D. To share her experience and tell us that we are perhaps not as weak as we thought we were.CMy mother has always been a follower of traditional methods when it comes to anything. She cooks traditional food，likes dressing up traditionally and likes the traditional way of shopping. She loves going to markets and going from one shop to another to find out what suits her best. She can walk miles when it comes to shopping along with her friends. She knows all the local markets and shops and knows very well where she can get best discounts（折扣）．However，now she always gets tired when she goes out in the market. So one day I decided to introduce a new shop，which is much larger than usual markets and where she can also get discounts．I am talking about online gift stores. She has a basic knowledge of computers and can operate computers. At the beginning，she was doubtful about shopping from these online gift shops because she wasn’t too sure about the quality of the products.One day I decided to get her some branded things so that she could build trust in these shops. I ordered a Timex watch and a Sisley handbag for her. She never bought things online，but when they were delivered as a gift，she jumped for joy. She could not believe that I had ordered these gifts for her despite her being not much positive about online shops. However，after she saw both the products，she was assured that these online gift shops sent the promised brands and products，she loved her new watch and handbag.After this experience she ordered a gift for her friend's wedding. She chose a gift basket that could be made according to her requirements. They sent a beautifully decorated basket with fine wines and chocolates. The basket was so artistically decorated that it became her friend's favorite gift. Since then she has been consistently shopping online.1．What can we learn about the author's mother?A.

The goods in the new shop are much cheaper.3．What was the attitude of the author's mother to shopping online at first?A. She thought it was a good idea.B. She thought goods online were cheap.C. She doubted the quality of the goods.D. She worried about the difficulty in operation.4．The author decided to buy his mother some branded things＿．A. in order to please his motherB. so that she could trust in shopping onlineC. so that she would live a happy life in her later yearsD. so that she would get a surprise on Mother's DayDThe Saturday Evening Post 2015 Great American Fiction Contest is underway!In its nearly three centuries of existence, The Saturday Evening Post , a bimonthly magazine, has published short fiction by a who's who of American authors including F.Scott Fitzgerald, William Faulkner, Anne Tyler, Kurt Vonnegut, Jr．Ray Bradbury, Louis L’Amour, Sinclair Lewis, Jack London, and Edgar Allan Poe．You have the opportunity to join our excellent line - up by entering The Saturday Evening Post's Third Annual Create American Fiction Contest．The winning story will be published in the Jan/Feb 2015 edition of The Saturday Evening Post, and the author will receive a $ 500 payment．Five runners - up will each receive a $ 100 cash payment and will also have their stories published online．Submission（投稿）Guidelines● Stories must be between l,500 and 5,000 words in length．● All s tories must be submitted by the author, and previously unpublished（not including personal websites and blogs）．● No extreme profanity or graphic sex scenes．● All stories must be submitted online in Microsoft Word format with the author's name, address, telephone number, and email address on the first page．●Entries should be character or plot - driven pieces in any genre（体裁）of fiction．●Think local．The Post has historically played a role in defining what it means to be an American．Your story should in some way touch upon the publication' s mission: Celebrating; America, past, present, and future．● There is a $ 10 entry fee, which helps cover a portion of the cost of operating the contest．● All entries must be received electronically by July l, 2014．Click here to view the winners of the 2014 Great American Fiction ContestClick here to view the winners of the 2013 Great American Fiction Contest1．We can learn from the passage, The Saturday Evening PostA．has played an important part in American historyB．came into being as early as the 18th centuryC．is a magazine published every monthD．holds the contest every two years2．According to the requirements, the entriesA．must reflect American societyB．should be sent by post or emailC．should have at least 5,000 wordsD．mustn't have ever appeared on blog3．What do we know about the 2015 contest?A．It will last until the end of 2014．B．It will only allows famous writers to take part．C．The participants can enter the contest for free．D．Only the winning stories will be published in the magazine．第二节（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分）【题文】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。
