AShake Shack is a new kind of restaurant being more popular in the U. S. The restaurants are not "fast food.” They are known as "fast casual.”Observers say Americans want more choices and fresh food when choosing where and what to eat. This trend is one reason why the fast food restaurant McDonald's has struggled financially. In the last quarter of 2014, McDonald’s net ine dropped by about $300 million.The January earnings report brought more bad news. Worldwide sales dropped for the eighth month in a row and even more than expected. While McDonald's is struggling to get their customers back, Shake Shack, is doing well in making money. The New York-based burger chain had a very successful IPO, or initial public offering, of shares at the end of January. On its first day of trading, Shake Shack went from $21 a share to just under $46 a share. Being part of the "fast casual" trend has helped Shake Shack. Other fast casual restaurants in the U.S. include Chipotle, and Panera.Bonnie Riggs is a restaurant expert with NPD. She has followed Americans' restaurant habits for almost 30 years. She says one reason Americans like fast casual food is because it's new. It is creative, it is something different and people like to try new things." Her studies shows Americans made 61 billion visits to restaurants last year. Three out of four visits were to fast food restaurants, like McDonald's. Fast casual is still a small percentage of restaurant visits, but it has developed fast. Just as Ms. Riggs says, "it’s growing by leaps and bounds, because they meet consumers' needs.They know it's being prepared while they wait, it's fresh, quality food, good tasting food at whatthey say are reasonable and affordable prices."Many Americans still like their fast food, they are not going as often. They are finding other ways to have a meal.21. What is the trouble with McDonald’s?A. it’s share goes down to $21.B. Shake Shack has taken its place.C. It’s not popular with Americans.D. It’s sales and in e have dropped.22. W e can learn from Bonnie Riggs that Americans . .A. like to try something newB. care only about the qualityC. don't like fast food any moreD. pay more restaurant visits lo fast casual23. What does the underlined phrase “by leaps and bounds” in Paragraph 3 mean?A. Steadily.B. Rapidly.C. Slowly.D. Normally.BTwo friends have an argument that breaks up their friendship forever, even though neither one can remember how the whole thing got started. Such sad events happen over and over in high schools across the country. In fact, according to an official report on youth violence, "In our country today, the greatest threat to the lives of children and adolescents is not disease or starvation or abandonment, but the terrible reality of violence". Given that this is the case, why aren't students taught to manage conflict the way they are taught to solve math problems, drive cars, or stay physically fit?First of all, students need to realize that conflict is unavoidable. A report on violence among middle school and high school students indicates that most violent incidents between students begin with a relatively minor insult(侮辱). For example, a fight could start over the fact that one student eats a peanut butter sandwich each lunch-time. Laughter over the sandwich can lead to insults, which in tarn can lead to violence. The problem isn't in the sandwich, but in the way students deal with the conflict.Once students recognize that conflict is unavoidable, they can practice the golden rule of conflict resolution (解决): stay calm. Once the student feels calmer, he or she should choose words that will calm the other person down as well. Rude words, name-calling, and accusations only add fuel to the emotional fire. On the other hand, soft words spoken at a normal sound level can put out the fire before it explodes out of control.After both sides have calmed down, they can use another key strategy (策略) for conflict resolution: listening. Listening allows the two sides to understand each other. One person should describe his or her side, and the other person should listen without interrupting. Afterward, the listener can ask non-threatening questions to clarify the speaker's position. Then the two people should change roles.Finally, students need to consider what they are hearing. This doesn't mean trying to figure out what's wrong with the other person. It means understanding what the real issue is and what both sides are trying to acplish. For example, a shouting match over a peanut butter sandwich might happen because one person thinks the other person is unwilling to try new things. Students need to ask themselves questions such as these: How did this start? What do I really want? What am I afraid of? As the issue bees clearer, the conflict often simply bees smaller. Even if it doesn't, careful thought helps both sides figure out a mutual solution.There will always be conflict in schools, but that doesn't mean there needs to be violence. After students in Atlanta started a conflict resolution program, according to Educators for Social Responsibility, "64 percent of the teachers reported less physical violence in the classroom ;75 percent of the teachers reported an increase in student cooperation; and 92 percent of the students felt better about themselves". Learning to resolve conflicts can help students deal with friends, teachers, parents, bosses, and coworkers. In that way, conflict resolution is a basic life skill that should be taught in schools across the country.24. This article is mainly about .A. the lives of school childrenB. the cause of arguments in schoolsC. how to analyze youth violenceD. how to deal with school conflicts25. From Paragraph 2 we can learn that .A. violence is more likely to occur at lunchtimeB. a small conflict can lead to violenceC. students tend to lose their temper easilyD. the eating habit of a student is often the cause of a fight26. Why do students need to ask themselves the questions stated in Paragraph 5?A. To find out who is to blame.B. To get ready to try new things.C. To make clear what the real issue is.D. To figure out how to stop the shouting match.27. The writer's purpose for writing this article is to .A. plain about problems in school educationB. teach students different strategies for school lifeC. advocate teaching conflict management in schoolsD. inform teachers of the latest studies on school violenceCIf you exhibit positive characteristics such as honesty and helpfulness, the chances are that you will be thought as a good-looking person, for a new study has found that the perception (认知) of physical attractiveness is influenced by a person's personality.The study, which was led by Gary W. Lewandowski, has found that people who exhibit negative characteristics, such as unfairness and rudeness, appear to be less physically attractive to observers. In the study, the participants viewed photographs of opposite-sex individuals and rated them for attractiveness before and after being provided with information about their personalities.After personality information was received, participants also rated the probability of each individual's being a friend and a dating partner. Information on personality was found to significantly change the probability, showing that cognitive (认知的) processes modify (修改) judgments of attractiveness."Thinking a person as having a desirable personality makes the person more suitable in general as a close relationship partner of any kind," said Lewandowski.The findings show that a positive personality leads to greater expectation of being friends, which leads to greater expectation of being romantic partners and, finally, to being viewed as more physically attractive. The findings remained consistent regardless of how "attractive" the individual was formerly thought to be or of the participants' current relationship status."This research provides a positive oute by reminding people that personality goes a long way toward determining your attractiveness; it can even change people's impressions of how good-looking you are," said Lewandowski.28. In the study the participants were required to .A. try to make friends with each otherB. try to prove positive characters make people more attractiveC. exhibit negative characters such as unfairness and rudenessD. rate one's attractiveness by photos before and after knowing her or his personality29. What's the CORRECT order of how cognitive processes modify judgments of attractiveness?a. find a person with a positive personalityb. view the person more physically, attractivec. want to make friends with the persond. want to be his/her romantic partnerA. a→c→d→bB. d→c→b→aC. c→b→a→dD. a→d→c→b30. Which of the following is WRONG according to the passage?A. The research reminds people to pay more attention to the personality.B. Personality can change people's impressions of one's appearance.C. The judgment of one's attractiveness always stays unchanged.D. Positive personality may lead to more friends.31. The passage is written in a(n) tone.A. subjectiveB. objectiveC. scepticalD. negativeDYou arrive on time at the Smith’s house to babysit three year-old Max. When Mrs. Smith invites you into the house, you find Max sitting on the floor with an ipad. You look around for a book, and then you realize the ipad is teaching him how to read through a series of songs and games. Mrs Smith looks as though she couldn’t be prouder of her son for playing such educational games.Technology is being more important in our everyday lives. From playing a game to asking Siri for directions to a restaurant, we are depending heavily on our handheld device. panies such as Fisher-price and Open solutions are making apps such as “Laugh and Learn”, “Baby Hear and Read ”and “Baby’s First Puzzle.”These apps are marketed to parents and their babies. Some panies say that their apps will help the baby learn to read while others promise skills such as identifying shapes and sounds. Many parents say that these games have helped their children a lot.Recently the campaign for a mercial-Free Childhood, a Boston-based group, has been accusing panies, who make these supposedly educational games, of false advertising. The campaign believes that these games are doing very little to improve the education of young children.“What babies need for healthy brain development is active play, hand-one creative play and face-to-face interaction. ”says Susan Linn, the group’s director. This means that when you arebabysitting little Max, you should play board games with him or games that require him to use his own imagination. This will help him to learn not only skills that the games teach him, but he will learn social skills. The American Academy of Pediatrics agrees with Linn, discouraging any electronic time for babies under 2 , while older children should be limited to one to two hours a day.32. We can learn that many parents think the apps such as “ Laugh and Learn” are .A. dull to useB. plex to operateC. expensive to buyD. beneficial to possess33. Which of the following may Suan Linn agree with?A. The ipad will soon take the place of babysitters.B. Baby’s First Puzzle is a good choice for parents.C. Babies should stay away from these learning apps.D. The apps from Fisher-Price can teach children a lot.34. What a babysitter really needs to do is to .A. buy more educational apps from marketsB. turn to mercial-Free Childhood for helpC. create more activities that children can take part inD. encourage more kids to discover more electronic games35. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage？A. Fun educational apps for educationB. Learning apps: Do they really help?C. Is modern technology improving our lives?D.

She stopped to speak to Mr. Lee. I knew I could see Mr. Lee anytime around the neighborhood, so I just stood there. After we passed him, my mother stopped and said something unforgettable, "You let that be the last time you ever walk by somebody you know without opening your mouth to speak, because even a dog can wag its tail when it passes you on the street. "That sentence sounds simple but it made me become who I am.At work, I used to say hello to the president of the company and ask him how our business was doing. But I also spoke to the people in the cafe and people who cleaned the buildings, and asked them how their children were doing, for every single person deserves to be accepted, no matter how humble(低微的)they are. I remember that after a few years of passing by the president, I had the courage to ask him for a chat. We had a great talk. At some point, when I asked him how far he thought I could go in his company, he said that if I wanted to, I could get all the way to his seat.I've become vice-president, but that hasn't changed how I treat people. I speak to people wherever I am. Speaking to people creates a pathway into their world, and it lets them come into mine, too.The day you speak to someone who has his head down and then see him lift it up and smile, you will realize how powerful it is just to open your mouth and say hello.41. What is the best title for this passage?A. The power of being talkativeB. My mother's influence on meC. The power of saying helloD. My way to become vice-president42. It is implied in the first paragraph that .A. the writer didn't like Mr. LeeB. the writer didn't say hello to Mr. Lee on that occasionC. the writer didn't get along well with his motherD. the writer's mother stopped to say hello to everyone she met43. What can we learn from the second paragraph?A. The writer didn't say hello to everyone in the company.B. The writer made a very good impression on the president of the company.C. The president of the company thought the writer was much better than him.D. The president of the company actually didn't like the writer at all.44. For the writer, saying hello to others .A. is a way to get what he wantsB. has become a habit and a way of lifeC. is a way to show respect for his motherD. is important in making him remembered45. According to Paragraph 3, in the writer’s opinion, speaking to others can .A. make our world much betterB. make people much happier every dayC. help people understand each other betterD. help people work much better BTraditional Japanese food is surely one of the healthiest and most delicious in the world, and fortunately for most of us, foods like tofu, sushi and even green tea are now familiar and can be found easily out of Japan. As a national cuisine(烹饪), thanks to many social as well as political changes, Japanese food has greatly developed over the past few centuries. In ancient times, when much of the traditional cuisine was influenced by Korean and Chinese cultures, Japanese cuisine slowly changed with the start of the medieval(中世纪的)period, which brought along with it new tastes.2With the coming of the modern age, a great many changes took place and the Japanese cuisine was influenced greatly by Western culture. However, the traditional Japanese food of today is still very like what existed toward the end of the 19th century. This would mean that a large part of the Japanese cuisine includes those foods whose cooking methods and ingredients(原料)have been introduced from other cultures, but which have since then been experimented with and developed by the Japanese themselves.The thing about Japanese food is that you either will love it or will completely look down upon it. With traditional Japanese food, there is no such thing as an in-between. However, chances are that if you hate Japanese food, then you probably haven’t even tasted real Japanese food or you simply haven’t given yourself the chance to like it. Unlike other cuisines, Japanese food is not something that you will appreciate after having onlya bite. Like wines and cigars, Japanese food needs time to be liked.46. After reading the whole passage, we learn that this passage mainly .A. advises us to eat healthy food is so healthyB. explains why Japanese food is so healthyC. introduces some famous traditional Japanese foodD. tells us something about traditional Japanese food47. What does the writer mean by saying “fortunately for most of us”?A. That most people know how to prepare tofu and sushi themselves.B. That most traditional Japanese food can be enjoyed everywhere.C. That we can enjoy some traditional Japanese food out of Japan.D. That Japanese food like tofu, sushi and even green tea is not strange to us.48. What can we learn from the passage?A. Japanese food changed most during the medieval period.B. Japanese food has been greatly influenced by other cultures.C. The traditional Japanese food of today tastes totally different from that in the past.D. Korean food is also one of the healthiest foods in the world.49. The last paragraph suggests that .A. healthy food usually doesn’t taste goodB. not everyone likes Japanese foodC. some people are crazy about Japanese foodD. it’s very easy to tell whether the food is real Japanese food or not50. In the writer’s opinion, Japanese food .A. is not as good as people thinkB. sometimes tastes really terribleC. is worth tasting a second timeD. tastes as good as Chinese foodCStarting a new school term is always exciting. It is a chance to see all of your friends again. But most exciting of all, the new term is an opportunity to take up new hobbies. As you know, it is common in Britain for students to take up new hobbies after the Christmas holidays. Promising to begin something new is a common New Year resolution for many school teenagers.Most schools offer different kinds of hobby classes. Students take them in their free periods or after school. Some classes you have to pay for and others are free of charge. For example, I once took a free Wednesday evening gymnastics class that my school offered. But when I learnt how to play the drum my parents had to pay for the lesson, and they did so, like most parents, without any complaint.The most popular extra classes at my school were piano lessons and drama club: Both classes offered exams students could take. Because the extra classes may take up much time of the students, students with many hobbies sometimes felt more stressed than those without any. But they could enjoy their life better than those who didn't foster (培养) any hobbies at school. For example, they could build up good friendship with the persons who shared the common interest with them.

Yet it seems like just yesterday that she taught me a lesson in forgiveness that I can only hope to pass on to someone else someday. On a Saturday afternoon, a friend and I were throwing rocks onto the roof of the old lady's house. I found a smooth rock and sent it. The stone headed straight for a small window on the old lady's back door. At the sound of broken glass, we took off from the old lady's yard.I was too scared about getting caught that first night. However, a few days later when I was sure that I hadn't been discovered, I started to feel guilty for her misfortune.I decided to save my paper delivery money, and in three weeks I had the seven dollars that I thought would cover the cost of her window. I put the money in an envelope with a note explaining that I was sorry for breaking her window. Then I put the envelope through the letter slot in her door. My soul felt redeemed (救赎) and I couldn't wait for the freedom of, once again, looking straight into the old lady's eyes.The next day, I. handed the old lady her paper. She thanked me for the paper and said, "Here, I have something for you. " It was a bag of cookies. I thanked her and ate the cookies as I continued my route.After several cookies, I felt an envelope and pulled it out of the bag. When I opened the envelope, I was shocked.

A silly mistakeD. True forgivenessEWhen I asked my daughter which item she would keep: the phone, the car, the cooker, the computer, the TV, or her boyfriend, she said "the phone". Personally, I could do without the phone entirely, which makes me unusual. Because the telephone is changing our lives more than any other piece of technology.Point 1 The telephone creates the need to communicate, in the same way that more roads create more traffic. My daughter comes home from school at 4:00 pm and then spends an hour on the phone talking to the very people she has been at school with all day. If the phone did not exist, would she have anything to talk about?Point 2 The mobile phone means that we are never alone. !' The mobile saved my life, "says Crystal Johnstone. She hadan accident in her Volvo on the A45 between Otley and Skipton. Trapped inside, she managed to make the call that brought the ambulance(救护车) to her rescue.Point 3 The mobile removes our secret. It allows marketing manager of Haba Deutsch, Carl Nicolaisen, to ring his sales staff all round the world at any time of day to ask where they are, where they are going, and how their last meeting went.Point 4 The telephone separates us. Antonella Bramante in Rome says, "We worked in separate offices but I could see him through the window. It was easy to get his number. We were so near--but we didn't meet for the first two weeks!"Point 5 The telephone allows us to reach out beyond our own lives. Today we can talk to several complete strangers simultaneously (同时地) on chat lines (at least my daughter does. I wouldn't know what to talk about). We can talk across the world. We can even talk to astronauts (if you know any) while they're space-walking. And, with the phone line hooked up to the computer, we can access(进入) the Internet, the biggest library on Earth.61. How do you understand" Point 1—The telephone creates the need to communicate,... "？A. People don't communicate without telephone.B. People communicate because of the creating of the telephone.C. People communicate more since telephone has been created.D. People communicate more because of more traffic.62. Which of the following best shows people's attitude towards mobile phones?A. Mobile phones help people deal with the emergency.B. Mobile phones bring convenience as well little secret to people.C. Mobile phones are so important and should be encouraged.D. Mobile phones are part of people's life.63. Which points do you think support the idea that phones improve people's life?a. Point 1.b. Point 2.c. Point 3.d. Point 4.e. Point 5.A. c, dB. a, eC. a, cD. b, e64. It is possible to talk to several complete strangers simultaneously through .A. the TV screenB. a fax machineC. the phone line hooked up to the computerD. a microphone65. The best heading for the passage is .45A. The power of PhonesB. Kinds of PhonesC. How to Use PhonesD. Advantage of Phones 第II 卷第三部分：书面表达：（共两节，50分） 第一节：阅读表达（20分）[1] Busy work schedules are creating a generation of “ Maybe Later ” children. Thought those children are the most important to their parents, they are too busy with their work to spare time for them.[2] In a study, working parents spend less than an hour a day with their children. Almost eight out of ten children said they hated being parked in front of the television instead of being entertained and 60 percent said they wished their parents worked less and had more time to play with them. [3] The generation of “ Maybe Later ” kids shows a worrying trend of parents not spending as much time as they should with their children. Parents admit their children aren ’t getting enough of their attention, and children are also feeling the effect of this, longing fro their parents to spend more time with them.[4] “We live in ever busier times with many parents taking work home with them, but it seems this is having a negative effect on the relationship they have with their children,” Dr James Carnd said, “ Trying to balance work an home life can be difficult, but parents need to remember that playing with your kids is a great way to relieve stress.”[5] The research also found that on top of a normal working week, tired parents check their emails as soon as they get home at least four nights a week. And at least one of the two parents misses dinner twice a week because they work late. When they ’re at home, they spend much of their spare time cooking and cleaning playing with their children .And more than half parents often find themselves promising to play with their children after they ’ve finished work, checked their emails or completed housework. 66. What children are called “ Maybe Later ” children ? (no more than 10 words)67. What has a negative effect on the relationship between parents their children? (no more than 6 words)68. What benefit can parents get from playing with their children according to what Dr James Carnd said? (no more than 6 words)69. Fill in the blank in the last paragraph with proper words. (no more than 4 words) 70. Write a sentence of wish to parents in the name of a “ Maybe Later ” child. (no more than 15 words)第二节：写作（30分）假如你是李华，现在高中二年级学习。
