He walked down his block and __64__(find) a lot of stores. He passed a CD store and looked through __65__ front door for a second. He stopped and saw a beautiful girl about his age. He opened the door and walked in, not looking at anything else but her. He walked __66__(close) until he was finally at the front desk __67__ she sat. She looked up and smiled, “Can I help you？” He said, “I would like to buy a CD.” He picked one out and gave her the money for it. “Would you like me to wrap it for you？” she asked，__68__(smile) again. He nodded and she went to the back. She came back with the wrapped CD and gave it to him. After that, he often bought a CD there.

    They wear the latest fashions with the most up-to-date accessories(配饰)．Yet these are not girls in their teens or twenties but women in their sixties and seventies．A generation which would once only wear old-fashioned clothes is now favoring the same high street looks worn by those half their age．

Professor Julia Twiggy, a social policy expert，said，“Women over 75 are now shopping for clothes more frequently than they did when they were young in the 1960s．In the 1960s buying a coat for a woman was a serious matter．It was an expensive item that they would purchase only every three or four years—now you can pick one up at the supermarket whenever you wish to．Fashion is a lot cheaper and people get tired of things more quickly．”  Professor Twiggy analyzed family expending data and found that while the percentage of spending on clothes and shoes by women had stayed around the same—about 5 or 6 percent of spending，the amount of clothes bought had risen sharply．

The professor said，“Clothes are now 70 percent cheaper than they were in the 1960s because of the huge expansion of production in the Far East．In the 1960s Leeds was the heart of the British fashion industry and that was where most of the clothes came from，but now almost all of our clothes are sourced elsewhere．Everyone is buying more clothes but in general we are not spending more money on them．’’

Fashion designer Angela Barnard，who runs her own fashion business in London，said older women were much more affected by celebrity style than in previous years．She said,“When people see stars such as Judi Dench and Helen Mirren looking attractive and fashionable in their sixties，they want to follow them．Older women are much more aware of celebrities．There’s also the boom in TV programmers showing people how they can change their look，and many of my older customers do yoga to stay in shape well in their fifties．When I started my business a few years ago，my older customers tended to be very rich，but now they are what I would call ordinary women. My own mother is 6l and she wears the latest fashions in a way she would never have done ten years ago．”

33．It can be concluded that old women tend to wear the latest fashions today mainly because___________．

A．they get tired of themselves more quickly

B．TV shows teach them how to stay in shape

C.  they feel much younger now

D．clothes are much cheaper than before

34．What can we learn about old women in terms of fashion?

A．They are often ignored by fashion designers．

B．They are now mole easily influenced by stars．

C．They are regarded as pioneers in the latest fashion．

D．They are more interested in clothes because of their old age．

35．Which is the best possible title of the passage?

A．Age Is No Barrier for Fashion Fans．   

B．The More Fashionable，the Less Expensive．

C．Unexpected changes in Fashion．         

D． Boom of the British Fashion Industry

In the winter vacation, I paid a visit a mountain village in a suburb of Handan. No sooner had I got off the bus when I was greatly surprising to see all the changes. It was far better than I had been expected. Now every family can drink cleanly running water. The villagers needn’t carry water himself any more. Firewood is no longer used for cooking. Marsh gas, a new cheap clean energy, make it very convenient to cook and light. As all the families have color TV set, they can enjoy plays at home. It impressed me most was that the best building in a village was the school. I hope the mountain village will become better and better.

A. so well-known a                     B. a so well-known

C. such well-known a                  D. a such well-known

It’s clear that with unprecedented (空前的) pressure on our natural resources and our climate, the world economy needs to “green up”. The shift to a green economy represents one of the biggest business opportunities in decades. Already, the global low-carbon market is worth more than £3 trillion, and is set to reach £4 trillion by 2015 as more economies invest in low-carbon technologies.

And we need to focus on green growth because the price of inaction is too high. Business is constantly looking for ways to become more efficient and the competitive gains for British companies’ efficient use of resources such as water, energy and materials are enormous, with potential savings of about £23 billion a year. We do not underestimate the challenges that we face in moving to a green economy. We often take our natural resources for granted but these are not inexhaustible, and demand is increasing. This is an economic issue, it’s a development issue, and it requires global action.

Next month, I’m joining leaders in business, government and civil society from all over the world at the Rio+ 20 Earth Summit in Brazil. I’ll be calling for an absolute commitment from my international colleagues to inclusive (广泛的) green growth as the path to shared prosperity. Governments need to create the framework for the private sector（部门）to act. We want an agreement to develop sustainable development goals that meet the linked challenges of food, energy and water security.

At home, we’re providing support to companies that are changing the way they do business. Our Green Economy Council brings together government, businesses and the third sector to help us create the right way to enable action from everyone — from government, businesses and consumers. We in the government want to create an effective basis for the green economy, with policies that are helping growth and giving businesses the certainty to plan and invest.

A strong green economy will generate the investment and innovation (创新) to transform our products and services and capture new markets, though the case for green investment and green growth is compelling (有吸引力的), as we rebuild the British economy. To my mind, there is no other option.

59. It is time for the world economy to “green up” due to _______.

   A. the appearance of low-carbon technologies

B. the pressure on natural resource and climate

   C. the increasing demand of worldwide population

   D. the present environmental problems like pollution

60. What can be learned from the second paragraph?

   A. Some businesses have efficiently saved a lot.

   B. Inefficient companies will have to compete much.

   C. A green economy is in reality a development issue.

   D. There are many difficulties on the way to a green economy.

61. To develop green economy, the governments should ________.

   A. change the way companies do business

   B. make effective policies for the green economy

   C. actively attend Rio+20 Earth Summit to be held in Brazil

   D. encourage businesses to invest more on sustainable energies

62. What is the author’s attitude towards the coming green economy?

   A. Doubtful.              B. Hopeful.          C. Negative.        D. Worried.

 John received an invitation to dinner, and with his work _____, he gladly accepted it.

 “Beating is a sign of affection，cursing (骂)is a sign of love.”

Many may not expect to hear the words of the old Chinese saying in these modern times—with parents wealthier and better educated than they have ever been—but experts say they still ring true.

Today，it seems，Chinese parents are more likely to send their children to pre­college military academies in the United States in the hope that some tough love will pave the way to success.

“Good education doesn't mean letting your children enjoy privileges，especially our boys.” said Song Wenming，an entrepreneur (企业家)in Jinhua，East China's Zhejiang province. “They should be raised in tough conditions to know what to fight for in the future.”

In August，Song sent his 17­year­old son to Valley Forge Military Academy (VFMA) in Pennsylvania. And he is far from alone，even though it takes a lot of money—around $48,000 per year—to send a child to a strict military school.

Statistics show that an increasing number of Chinese students have been registering with such academies.

A few years ago，there were no Chinese students at Valley Forge. Today，there are 28.“All of the Chinese students at Valley Forge came from wealthy families；some of them were spoiled.” said Jennifer Myers，director of marketing and communications at the school.

Song's only son，Song Siyu，had a rocky start during his first six weeks at the school. The teenager said he went to the school voluntarily but did not expect it to be as difficult.

Now，three months later，he has perfected the art of taking a bath in 35 seconds，finishing a meal without looking at his food，and making his bed with precision. He can even take criticism，no matter how unreasonable.

“The training is hard but I know it is good for self­development of individuals.” said Song Siyu. “The endless training and scolding are just ways to build up our character；they are not personal.”

But his enthusiasm is not universal. Ten of the 13 Chinese students who joined the academy this year have transferred to other schools.

But for those who stick with it，there is a reward for all the hard work.

32．From the second paragraph，we can know the old Chinese saying _____________ .

A．is out of date in modern times

B．is disagreed by rich parents

C．is still worth trusting

D．is deeply believed by better educated parents

33．The underlined sentence means that _____________.

A．Song sent his only son to military school，so he feels lonely

B．Song is the only one who sends his child to military school

C．there are other people sending their children to military school besides Song

D．the fee of the military school is so high that only Song can afford it

34．How many Chinese students are there at Valley Forge before this year?

A．10.　　    　　B. 13.           C．15.          D．25.

35．Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?

A．It's likely that more and more Chinese students will attend VFMA.

B．Most Chinese parents approve of educating their children by beating and cursing nowadays.

C．Song Siyu had no difficulty in adjusting to the life at VFMA.

D．Most Chinese students support the way of education at VFMA.

Andrew Carneigie, known as the King of Steel, built the steel industry in the United States, and, in the process, became one of the wealthiest men in America. His success resulted partly from his ability to sell the product and partly from his policy of expanding during periods of economic decline, when most of his competitors were reducing their investments. Carnegie believed that individuals should progress through hard work, but he also felt strongly that the wealthy should use their fortunes for the benefit of society. He opposed charity, preferring instead to provide educational opportunities that would allow others to help themselves. “He who dies rich, dies disgraced”, he often said. Among his more noteworthy contributions to society are those that bear his name, including the Carnegie Institute of Pittsburgh, which has a library, a museum of fine arts, and a museum of national history. He also founded a school of technology that is now part of Carnegie-Mellon University. Other philanthropic(慈善的) gifts are the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace to promote understanding between nations, the Carnegie Institute of Washington to fund scientific research, and Carnegie Hall to provide a center for the arts. Few Americans have been left untouched by Andrew Carnegie’s generosity. His contributions of more than five million dollars established 2,500 libraries in small communities throughout the country and formed the nucleus of the public library system that we all enjoy today.

 “Hi Dave, how are you today? Just thought I’d let you know what I’m doing,” the e-mail would read. Or “Sorry you’re going. I’ve had a good time and that would probably have had something to do with you, so thanks.”
In some ways, the relaxed attitude was shocking, says Melville. But it was a sign of how students’ understanding of their role has changed. “They have a more independent view of the university, and they feel free to comment,” said Melville.
A committee, led by Melville, was set up earlier this year to explore the change in students’ attitudes towards teachers.
“This is something being driven by young people,” said Melville. “They live surrounded by different kinds of electronic resources. They use social networking tools and things like Wikipedia. The first group of these students is now at university.”
Students do not regard teaching staff in the same way as previous students did. “Because Web 2.0, Google, Wikipedia are all about being able to change things yourself, students expect to be able to do this as well,” said Melville.
There have been other changes in the student-teacher relationship. If students choose to study through a social networking group, they are in control. They don’t always make staff welcome, and they are free to decide which staff members they allow in.
   “Almost everybody who gets into using these kinds of technologies, it appears, becomes much shallower in their research,” said Melville.
4. Who is Dave most probably in the first paragraph?
A. a high school studentB. a university student
C. a teacherD. an online pen friend
5. We can find the following changes in the student-teacher relationship EXCEPT

_____.
A. it becomes much more relaxed than before
B. students are more at ease to comment
C. students have the say in choosing teachers to welcome into their social group
D. teachers are no longer regarded as knowledgeable and necessary

6. What is the change in attitudes rooted in according to Melville?
A. The first group of students at university.
B. The electronic resources.
C.The society.
D. Wikipedia.

7. What may be the disadvantages of using the technologies?
A. Students have more information resources besides from teachers.
B. Technologies keep them from doing deep research.
C. Teachers cannot control or influence their students at all.
D. Students spend too much time on online games.

The Red Cross is an international organization 61.________ task is to stop suffering. They don’t care about the people’s race, nationality, religion 62._____ political beliefs. They help anyone 63._____ need of help.

When he returned to Switzerland, he wrote a book about his experience. The leaders of many countries read his book and wanted to do something. As a result, the Red Cross 65._ _______ (establish) in Geneva, Switzerland in 1863. It was an organization that would help all the people affected.

In 1864, there was 66.______ Red Cross meeting in Geneva, an American woman called Clare Barton wanted the Red Cross to help people in peace time as well as in wartime.

       Many people write to newspaper and magazines to express their opinions. Letters to the editor must carry the writer’s full name, address and telephone number, although the information is not necessary for publication. This requirement to provide personal particulars is a clear indication that writers are held responsible for what they say. When a writer wants his voice heard, he needs to claim ownership of his voice. Responsibility is the name of the game.

“People today prefer living together to putting their signatures on a marriage certificate because they refuse to accept responsibility for the relationship,” said social worker Ken Yip, “and this is what is causing a lot of family problems.” When we sign a paper, for example, a business contract or a bank document, the signature is a seal of consent, an agreement to take the matter seriously. Most governments and many organizations will not process written complaints if they do not bear the writer’s signature. The absence of a signature, they explain, tells us that the writer cannot be too serious and therefore does not deserve a reply.

      There are people who wish to remain anonymous（匿名的）for various reasons. Multi-billionaire Mr. King donates generously to charity several times a year. He gives simply because he wants to help but not for the publicity his donations may bring, and he does not want his good deeds to make news. In other cases, people insist on anonymity because they are afraid of the consequences of revealing their identity. Crime witnesses may be willing to assist the police, but most are unwilling to give their names when reporting a crime.

Name or no name? The answer is very personal and lies in how much we want to get involved. We all have a name. It is a matter if responsibility to use it when we make a statement, a claim or an accusation. We all want to honor our own name, and it is only by stamping our expression of an opinion with our own name that we honor what we say.

29.What does the writer mean by saying “Responsibility is the name of the game”?

    A. Writers need to provide their personal information in the game.

   B. Publication must bear the writer’s full name, address and phone number.

    C. Writers should be responsible for their names.

    D. Names are required to indicate writers’ responsibility for what they say.

30.The second paragraph suggests that a paper without a signature may _______.

 A. help to end a relationship             B. not get a reply

    C. be accepted all the same              D. become a family problem

31.Some people don’t want their names known because they are ________.

    A. hesitant to make a donation                  B. unwilling to draw public attention

    C. afraid of an accusation                        D. ready for involvement

32.The passage is mainly about _______.

    A. honor and writers                             B. identity and signature

 C. signature and responsibility                  D. anonymity and signature

The 4-year-old boy was mentally disabled, unable to speak in complete sentences and unable to play with other children because of his violent fits（发作）of hitting and biting.

The decision facing one Brooklyn jury（陪审团）was how much a landlord should pay in damages to the boy — named “G.M.M.” in court documents — after an investigation showed he had been living in an apartment illegally coated with lead paint.

Attorneys（律师）representing G.M.M. said $3.4 million was the right number, arguing that the boy would have had a bright career ahead of him; both of his parents had graduated from college and his mother received a master’s degree. But the landlord’s defense put the figure at less than half that – $1.5 million. Attorney Roger Archibald noted that because the boy was Hispanic, G.M.M. was unlikely to attain the advanced education that would provide to such a large income.

The 4-year-old’s case is a rare public look at one corner of the American legal system that explicitly uses race and gender to determine how much victims or their families should receive in compensation（赔偿） when they are seriously injured or killed.

As a result, white and male victims often receive larger awards than people of color and women in similar cases. These differences largely derive from projections of how much more money individuals would have earned over their lifetimes had they not been injured – projections that take into account average earnings and employment levels by race and gender.

21.What is the passage mainly about?

   A. Description of the boy’s damage.         B. Situation of the boy’s family.

   C. Compensation for the boy’s damage.       D. Advantages of American legal system.

22. What can we conclude from the passage?

   A. The boy’s illness resulted from the lead paint of the apartment.

   B. The compensation mainly depends on the costs for treatment.

   C. The boy would earn a lot of money without the injury.

   D. The jury is in favor of the G.M.M attorneys in the boy’s case.

23. What factors seem to affect the jury’s decision?

   A. Gender and education.                 B. Race and gender.        

C. Race and education.                   D. Social status and education.

24. What does the author feel about the boy’s case?

   A. Angry.            B. Satisfied.           C. Unjust.          D. Optimistic.
