第二部分阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2.5分，满分50分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳

选项。

A

Like many men at some point, I dream about opening a bar.

I plan to call it Work Out. It will cater to married women in

need of a little fun. On Friday nights, they will be able to come

here and enjoy themselves.

See, I have a gift for business. I am, as my wife Zsa Zsa

likes to say, "A man with a million ideas, none of them very

good." Speaking of Zsa Zsa, she is fed up with this plain little

life I've made for us - too many kids, too many chores,

mind-numbing(令人麻木的) debt. The other day, she said she

thought we needed a new family car. "Sure.How about an 87 Lincoln?

" I said, and saw my dear Zsa Zsa age about 20 years, and become

her mother right before my eyes.

Yes, money is our madness. Last year, we thought we had found

a little cushion when I published a book about the life here in

suburban America. It sold 12 copies - six of them to my mother.

Four other copies went to various aunts and uncles, who used them

for martini coasters(杯垫) , then sold them at yard sales. The

two remaining copies went to perfect strangers. (I think I owe

you dinner, whoever you are. Call me, OK? We'11 arrange something.)

When the book didn't take off, I wrote a TV show. Then I

penned a short novel based on the earlier TV idea that didn't

sell. Currently, I am at work on a set of encyclopedias (百

科全书) . In a month, I plan to sell them door to door. 6 almost

every morning, hoping to tap out one idea -just one - that will

take us up the hill, to the mountain, to the top.

life.

A. enjoyable

B. wealthy

C. hard

D. comfortable

37. By saying "Sure. How about an 87 Lincoln?", the author

A. was just joking

B. was showing off their fortune

C, thought his wife would like it D. promised it to his wife

A. He made a lot of money from it.

B. He sold it door to door.

C. It didn't sell well at all.

While applying to college may seem easy, getting in can be tough ! When you apply for college, you will have to be honest with yourself and do a bit of research to find the right fit. Here are three steps to take when applying to colleges for the best chances at getting into the best college for you.

Step l: Making a List of Colleges to Apply to

With over 6,000 colleges in the United States, the first step in applying to college is to do some research and make a college list. This process will be different for everyone. The number of colleges you apply to can vary, from applying to I school (not recommended) t0 30 schools (not recommended), each applicant can choose how many colleges they apply to. Many limit the number because applications are accompanied by a fee.

Step2: Splitting the List into Target, Reach and Safety Schools

In general, students will want to apply to three types of schools: Target, Reach and Safety schools. It is up to you how many applications you send, but a good mix would be more target than reach, and at least one safety. You will need to take your list, and now decide which are your top picks, which are

attainable for you academically, which are affordable for you only with aid, and refine (精炼) your broad list into a group of schools that gives you the best chance for success. Talk to an admissions counselor at your high school if you have questions about this.

Step 3: Completing and Sending Applications to Colleges Once your list is complete you are ready to apply to college by completing and sending in applications! College applications take time to complete - you have to write essays, ask for recommendations and get test scores sent to schools - so stay organized! A1l colleges will require these types of application materials, so start thinking about these items well before October or December. Once you complete and send them, then you have successfully applied to college.

41. It can be learned from the first paragraph that_______。

A. you don't have to think twice before applying to college

B. you should be cautious to pick up the right college

C. once you apply to a college, you'll be admitted to it easily

D. each applicant should choose the best college for their ideal

42. To make a list of colleges, you ________。

A. needn't consider about your ability

B. are supposed to choose merely one most fit

C. had better take your academy into account

D. are required to pick out more than 30 colleges

43. Which of the following statements is WRONG?

A. One doesn't have to send his test scores to the intended college.

B. Refer to an admissions counselor at high school if necessary.

C. One should clarify the list according to one's abilities.

D. Teachers' recommendations are included in application materials.

44. We can conclude from the text that ________.

A. each applicant has the right to apply to any colleges for free

B. the more college one chooses, the more successful he will be

C. safety schools are those that don't have so many requirements

D. applicants should send required materials before the deadline

45. The text is mainly about _________.

C

You don't need to get in a time-traveling machine to see how technology will reshape our lives, such as the way we shop. Several new technologies that are to change your buying habits already exist. Let's see what's in store for your future shopping. Try it on, virtually (虚拟的) .

Want to shop online for a new pair of eyeglasses? You don't need to guess which pair looks best on you. Go and see the eBay Fashion iPhone App(程序) to try a pair of eyewear you're checking out on a picture of your face. But what if you want to buy something bigger? Thanks to Microsoft Kinect's motion tracking camera. you can cover clothes on your screen body. You can even choose, the background of your virtual fitting room to enrich your shopping experience. Get a perfect, custom fit.

Everyone's body is shaped differently. To get a perfect fit, you sometimes have to get your clothes changed. But by using 3D scanning technology. all the clothes you buy will fit your body perfectly. Some companies scan your body using High-tech to get the most accurate measurements, so they can make special

clothes just for you. High-tech shopping carts and checkout counters.

High-tech shopping carts could, in time, be a common sight

in malls –and supermarkets. Microsoft Kinect-enabled carts are currently under test. The cart can follow you along the aisles(通道 ). controlled merely by your movement and your voice. In China, a supermarket chain introduced tablet-equipped carts that guide shoppers around the stores' aisles.

In the United States. several supermarkets use a device called SCAN IT that gives buyers the freedom to scan purchases on their own while they shop. While it's great not having to line up at a checkout counter, we wouldn't mind it if the store used Toshiba's new Object Recognition Scanner. The machine identifies a product as soon as it's

placed in front of a camera just by its shape and color, even

if it has no bar code.

46. What's the best title for this text?

A.ways for Future Shopping

D. Microsoft Kinect-enabled carts.

49. The Object Recognition Scanner can identify a product more quickly by _______.

in future.

D. The new technologies are only dreams that are impossible to come true.

Nuclear power's danger to health, safety, and even life itself can be summed up in one word: radiation.

Nuclear radiation has a certain mystery about it, partly because it cannot be detected by human senses. It can't be seen or heard, or touched or tasted, even though it may be all around us. There are other things like that. For example, radio waves are all around us but we can't detect them, sense them, without a radio receiver. Similarly, we can't sense radioactivity without a radiation detector. But unlike common radio waves, nuclear radiation is not harmless to human beings and other living things.

At very high levels, radiation can kill an animal or human being immediately by killing masses of cells in vital organs. But even the lowest levels can do serious damage. There is no level of radiation that is completely safe. If the radiation does not hit anything important, the damage may not be serious. This is the case when only a few cells are hit, and if they are killed immediately, your body will replace the dead cells with healthy

ones. But if the few cells are only damaged, and if they reproduce themselves, you may be in trouble. They can grow into cancer. Sometimes this does not show up for many years.

This is another reason for some of the mystery about nuclear radiation. Serious damage can be done without the victim being

aware at the time that damage has occurred. A person can be irradiated(辐射 )and feel fine. then die for cancer five, ten,

or twenty years later as a result. Or a child can be born weak

as a result of radiation absorbed by its grandparents.

Radiation can hurt us. We must know the truth.

51. What is the most dangerous factor of nuclear power?

A. Amount

B. Quantity

C. Radiation

D. Place

52. Which of the following statements is TRUE?

A. Nuclear radiation can do little harm to human beings.

B. Nuclear radiation can do harm to human beings.

C. Nuclear radiation can be detected by human senses.

D. Nuclear radiation is just like common radio waves.

53. How can nuclear radiation kill an animal?

A. By damaging its heart.

B. By killing a few cells in its body.

C. By hitting any place in its body.

D. By killing many cells in important organs.

54. Nuclear radiation has a certain mystery because_______.

A. it can do harm to a person while the victim doesn't know

B. human beings learn its harmfulness

C. nuclear radiation can kill a person very easily

D. human beings have no effective machine to detect nuclear radiation

55. If a human being is hit by nuclear radiation, he may _______.

A. die of cancer after many years

B. die immediately

C. have a child who may be born weak

D. all of the above

第三部分写作

第一节：阅读下面短文，按照要求用英语回答问题。

（共5小题：每小题2分，满分l0分）

As an English teacher, I've been lucky enough to travel to many countries. I've seen

people celebrating everything from the arrival of new babies to

the delivery of new cars.

I've attended weddings, parties and religious celebrations in countries as far apart as

Argentina and Japan, and I've noticed that gold - the metal or the colour is almost

always part of cultural events, traditions and celebrations. From "mashallah" gold tokens(纪念品) that people give to babies in Turkey, to the

gold stars that primary teachers stick on their students' exercise books, to the gold coffin that the "King of Pop" Michael Jackson was buried in, it makes me wonder: Why do people love gold?

For some people, gola seems to be a status symbol. Indian businessman Datta Phuge loves gold so much that he's even bought a shirt made of the stuff - at a cost of $ 250,000. Datta Phuge has his reasons. He explains: "Some celebrities want to own an Audi or Mercedes and have big cars. I chose gold. "

For other people, gold is an investment. The price of gold generally increases over time and in European markets it reached over $ 1, 500 per ounce in 2011.

And for many people, the family heirloom（传家宝） brings together status and investment. My mother has a gold bracelet
