Everyone was in bed except me. Under the strong light, I looked sadly before a huge pile of troublesome stuff they call “books”.I was going to have my examination the next day. "When can I go to bed?" I asked mys elf. I didn’t answer, in fact I dared not.The clock struck 12. "Oh, dear!" I cried, " ten more books to read before I can go to bed!” We pupils are the most wretched creatures in the world. Dad does not agree with me on this. He did not have to work so hard when he was a boy ."The clock struck one. I was quite hopeless now. I forgot all I had learnt. I was too tired to go on. I did the only thing I could. I prayed, “Oh, God, Please help me pass the exam tomorrow. I do promise to work hard afterwards, Amen.” My eyes were heavy, so heavy that I could hardly open them. A few minutes later, with my head on the desk, I fell asleep.21．When the author was going over his lessons, all the others in the house were_____ .A. asleepB. working in bedC. outsideD. quietly laughing at him22．Reviewing his lessons didn’t help him because ________.A. it was too late at nightB. he was very tiredC. his eyes l ids were so heavy that he couldn’t keep them openD. he hadn’t studied hard before the examination23．What do you suppose happened to the author?A.

The Night Before the ExaminationB. Working Far into the NightC. A Slow StudentD. Going Over My LessonsBIn ancient Egypt, a shopkeeper discovered that he could attract customers to his shop simply by making changes to its environment. Modem businesses have beenfollowing his lead, with more tactics (策略).One tactic includes where to display the goods. For example, stores place fruits and vegetables in the first section. They know that customers who buy the healthy food first will feel happy so that they will buy more junk food (垃圾食品) later in their trip. In department stores, the women's shoe section is generally next to the women's cosmetics (化妆品) section, while the shop assistant is going back to find the right size shoe, bored customers are likely to wander over and find some cosmetics they might want to try later.Besides, businesses seek to attractive customers' senses. Stores notice that the smell of baked goods encourages shopping, so they make their own bread each morning and then fan(煽动) the bread smell into the store throughout the day. Music sells goods, too. Researchers in Britain found that when French music was played, sales of French wines went up.When it comes to the selling of houses, businesses also use highly rewarding （优惠）tactics. They find that customers make decisions in the first few seconds upon walking in the door, and turn it into a business opportunity. A California builder designed the structure of its houses smartly. When entering the house, the customer would see the Pacific Ocean through the windows, and then the pool through an open stairway （阶梯）leading to the lower level. The immediate view of water on both levels helped sell these $10 million houses.25. Why do stores usually display fruits and vegetables in the first section?A. To show they are high quality foods.B. To help sell junk food.C. To sell them at discount(折扣) prices.D. To save customers time.26. According to Paragraph 3, which of the following encourages customers to buy?A. Filling the store with the smell of fresh breadB. Opening the store early in the morning.C. Displaying British wines next to French ones.D. Inviting customers to play music.27. What is the California builder's story meant to prove?A. A good first impression increases sales.B. The house structure is a key factor (因素)customers consider.C. The more costly the house is, the better it sells.D. An ocean view is much to the customers' taste.28. What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To show dishonest business practices.B. To explain how businesses turn people into their customers.C. To introduce how businesses have grown from the past.D. To report researches on customer behavior.CThe old man walked with a cane (拐杖) slowly into the restaurant. His poor jacket, patched (打补丁的) trousers, and worn-out shoes made him stand out from the usual Saturday morning breakfast crowd. Unforgettable were his pale blue eyes that sparkled like diamonds, large rosy cheeks, and thin lips that held a steady smile.He walked toward a table by the window. A young waitress watched him and ran over to him, saying, “Here, Sir. Let me give you a hand with that chair.”Without a word, he smiled and nodded a thank you. She pulled the chair away from the table. Supporting him with one arm, she helped him move in front of the chair, and get comfortably seated. Then she pushed the table up close to him, and leaned his cane against the table where he could reach it.In a soft, clear voice he said, “Thank you, Miss.”“You’re welcome, Sir.” She replied. “My name is Mary. I’ll be back in a moment. If you need anything, just wave at me.”After he had finished a hearty meal of pancakes, bacon, and hot lemon tea, Mary brought him the change, helping him up from his chair and out from behind the table. She handed him his cane, and walked with him to the front door. Holding the door open for him, she said, “Come back and see us, Sir!”He nodded a thank you and said softly with a smile, “You are very kind!”When Mary went to clean his table, she was shocked. Under his plate she found a business card and a note written on the napkin, under which was a $ 100 bill.The note on the napkin read, “Dear Mary, I respect you very much, and you respect yourself, too. It shows by the way you treat others. You have found the secret of happiness. Your kind gestures will shine through those who meet you.”The man she had served was the owner of the restaurant. This was the first time that she, or any of his employees, had seen him in person.29．Mary ran over to the old man because _____.A. the old man was the boss of the restaurantB. she was worried that the old man might cause trouble to the restaurantC. the old man had asked her to wait on himD. she saw the old man had some difficulty moving and taking a seat30．The words the man left on the napkin suggested that _____.A. respecting others means respecting oneselfB. serving others is a respectable jobC. Mary would get a rise as a result of her kindnessD. Mary’s kind service would bring in more money for her31．Which of the following titles goes best with the story?A. A kind- hearted GirlB. Kindness Means OpportunitiesC. Shining KindnessD. A Special bossDDogs and cats are not for students who live in the dormitory. Just think about the noise, the smell and all that wild behavior—chewing on whatever they can get their teeth on, or knocking over the trash can. But don’t feel sad. There are smaller and less destructive pets to make your dormitory life colorful.Betta fishThey make great pets with their big personality and astonishing colors, ranging from bright red, dark blue to lemon yellow. Unlike many fish, most bettas react to their owner’s presence and become more active when they are nearby, which is unusual in the fish world.ChinchillasWithout bad smell, about the size of a rabbit and with fur so dense that theycan’t get pests such as fleas (跳蚤), the friendly creature originally from the Andes Mountains in South America makes an ideal indoor pet. Chinchillas are very social animals, so if you only have one, you will become its family. In cold winter days, in a glance at this fury pet in a dorm will bring you a lot of warmth.Land hermit crabsIn a society where owners are often asked “Are they tasty?”, land hermit crabs are among the most unlucky animals commonly kept as pets. But they are easy to care for, inexpensive and fascinating to watch. And the fact that they don’t cause any allergic (过敏的) reactions makes them perfect for college dormitories.Red-eared slidersIf you’re interested in a lifelong friend, a red-eared slider makes a wonderful pet. If well cared for, they can live for around 40 years. But there are a couple of things you should know. Red-eared can grow to an adult size of up to 30cm! So you may need a larger tank quickly. In addition, you will need to provide UV lighting, water heater, and a swimming area and a basking (晒太阳) area. Housing a red eared slider is not easy.32．All the dormitory pets mentioned in the text are _____.A. active and allergicB. quiet and peacefulC. colorful and tastyD. small and smelly33．Which of the following is not true about these creatures?A. Bettas are active and rich in colors.B. Chinchillas are originally mountain animals.C. Land hermit crabs are allergic but tasty.D. Red-eared sliders need more care from the owner.34．If you want to keep the pet as long as possible, you’d better choose _____.A. Betta fishB. ChinchillasC. Land hermit crabsD. Red-eared sliders35．The text is mainly to _____.A. introduce the best way to keep petsB. offer useful tips for choosing petsC. inform students of lifestyle of petsD. recommend some dormitory pets第二节 7选5（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。
