Last year I ruined my summer vacation by bringing along a modern convenience that was too convenient for my own good: the iPad. Instead of looking at nature, I checked my email. Instead of paddling a small boat, I followed my Twitter feed (推特简讯). Instead of reading great novels, I stuck to reading four newspapers each morning. I was behaving as if I were still in the office. My body was on vacation but my head wasn’t. So this year I made up my mind to try something different: withdrawal (退出) from the Internet. I knew it wouldn’t be easy, since I’m bad at self-control. But I was determined. I started by giving the iPad to my wife. The cellphone signal at our house was worse than in the past, making my attempts at cheating an experience in frustration (沮丧). I was trapped, forced to go through with my plan. Largely cut off from e-mail, Twitter and my favorite newspaper websites, I had few ways to connect to the world except for radio and how much radio can one listen to, really? I had to do what I had planned to all along: read books. This experience has had a happy ending. With determination and the strong support of my wife, I won in my vacation struggle against the Internet, realizing finally that it was I, not the iPad, that was the problem.I knew I had won when we passed a Starbucks and my wife asked if I wanted to stop to use the Wi-Fi. “ I don’t need it,” I said. However, as we return to post -vacation life, a harder test begins: Can I continue when I’m back at work? There are times when the need to know what’s being said right now is great. And I have no intention of giving up my convenience completely. But I hope to resist the temptation (诱惑) to check my e-mail every five minutes, which leads to checking my Twitter feed and a website or two. I think a vacation is supposed to help you reset your brain to become more productive. Here I hope this one worked. 41. What do we know about the author’s last summer vacation？ A.

To develop one’s taste in English，the most effective way is to read English books extensively. However, one may be at a loss to choose the appropriate books，especially as a beginner.I would like to share some of my experience. My first English novel was Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice，recommended by many English teachers and professors as an ideal book for English learners. But I had great difficulty in understanding the novel，let alone enjoying it. It’s not the vocabulary that troubled me，but rather the way Austen constructs sentences，and her way of thinking，which seemed too remote to me at that time. My fading enthusiasm was much recovered after reading Hemingway’s novel Farewell to Arms. I particularly liked his brief and lively style. So my first suggestion is，as a beginner, you’d better choose contemporary novels instead of classical ones. However，reading novels is not the only way to improve your English. English essays can at once inform you，entertain you, and improve your taste in English. The best example is Bertrand Russell’s work. Its language is plain, yet you cannot help feeling the elegance and the unique sense of humor. His simple language enables his philosophy(哲理) within the reach of ordinary people. Here comes my second suggestion—essays are indispensable. Never follow other’s opinions blindly，however famous or influential the person might be. As a saying goes，one man’s meat is another man’s poison. With that in mind，we are sure to find out our favorite writers through reading and develop our fine taste in English. 45. What made the author’s first English novel hard to understand? A. Complex conversations. B. Not knowing the social background. C. The old-fashioned vocabulary. D. Sentences and Austen’s thinking pattern. 46. Which can best replace the underlined word“ indispensable”? A. necessary B. challenging C. related D. inspired 47. What advice does the author give in the last paragraph? A. Choose books that challenging us most. B. Read books that are instructive. C. Don’t be affected by other’s choices. D. Compare books before buying. 48. What is the author’s purpose of writing the passage? A. Give comments on literature works. B. Tell beginners how to choose English books. C. Encourage people to read more English books. D. Recommend first-class books to English learners.

In today's world of smart phones and notebook computers, most people have at least one time-telling thing with them. Since these digital products are so common, is time running out for the 500-year-old watch? According to some consumers, the answer is yes. New Jersey teenager Charlie Wollman says a watch is “an extra piece of equipment with no necessary function.” Many young adults think so and use their smart phones to tell time. It is said that fewer young people wear watches today than ten years ago. As a result, some people say that the watch industry is at a crossroads. However, watchmakers optimistically say that watches regain popularity when consumers reach their 20s and 30s. By then, they are willing to spend money on a quality watch that doesn’t just keep good time. Fifty years ago, watchmakers took pride in their products’ accuracy. But in recent years, the watch industry has changed itself into an accessory(附属的) business. And today, the image a watch communicates has become more important than the time it tells. “Complications” — features that go beyond simple timekeeping — are an important part of a watch’s image. Today’s watches offer lots of features that meet almost any personality. These features include compasses, USB drivers, and even other functions . Creativity also plays a key role in designing today’s watches. For example, Japanese watchmaker Tokyoflash makes watches that don’t even look like watches. The company’s popular Shinshoku model uses different color lights to tell time. It looks more like a fashionable bracelet(手镯) than a watch. Whether a watch communicates fashion sense, or creative talent of a love sports, consumers want their watches to stand out. Nowadays, everyone has the same kind of gadget(配件) in their bags, so people want to make a statement with what’ s on their wrists. Will this interest in wrist fashion last? Only time will tell! 49. What can we know from the first paragraph? A. As most people see, watches are out of fashion. B. The watch industry will close down sooner or later. C. Some people feel that watches have been of no use. D. There are so many choices of watches for teenagers today. 50. Japanese watchmaker Tokyoflash is mentioned in Paragraph 4 to_______. A. tell that today’s watches need more imagination B. show why Shinshoku watches are popular C. advertise Shinshoku watches made by Tokyoflash D. make a comparison between watches and bracelets 51. What might be the most suitable title for the passage? A. Japanese Watches Stand Out B. Watches Tell More Than Time C. Watch Industry Is in a Bad Situation D. Watches Are Becoming Less Popular

Best friends may be priceless but the cost of keeping the relationship alive is £23,870. According to a study, a BFF (best friends forever) does not come cheap with devoted friends spending £4,679 on birthday presents alone over a lifetime. And while it costs nothing to be a shoulder to cry on, big-hearted Britons go the extra mile and spend £168 on pick-me-ups(提神物品) to get their mate through a rocky patch (艰难时刻)like the breakup of a relationship. There’s a further £242 spent on presents to show how much they mean from gifts bought on holiday to treats for no reason. And distance does not break up a close friendship as BFFs spend a whopping(巨大的) £18,000 on travel to see each other despite being miles apart because of university, jobs and marriage. The study by cashback site TopCashBack found on average BEFs who marry can expect £431 spent on them and a further £283 on gifts when they have children. And they can rely on their pals to help out when they move houses as they will obtain £127 worth of housewarming presents and takeaways(a kind of food). The survey based on a friendship lasting 40 years found more than eight in ten adults with a BFF felt their friendships were worth every penny. TopCashback spokesperson Natasha Smith said: “Those friendships which stand the test of time are often the most important in our lives. However, they come at a cost. From train tickets once a month to flights and a new dress for a wedding on the Italian coast, the price paid for having a best mate can soon add up. But when we asked people to compare their friendship with the financial investment(投资), only 14% thought their friendship was equal to their investment with the vast majority thinking it was worth more." 52. What does the underlined word in Paragraph 2 mean? A. generous B. ambitious C. troublesome D. energetic 53. To keep the relationship, where do BEFs spend the most money? A. Buying birthday presents. B. Cheering up a friend in low spirits. C. Paying for holiday gifts and other treats. D. Going a particular distance to visit friends. 54. What is Natasha’s understanding of BEF friendship? A. It’s costly and unaffordable. B. It’s expensive but worthwhile. C. It’s rewarding but hard to keep. D. It’s changeable but worth possessing. 55. How is the passage developed? A. By listing figures. B. By giving examples. C. By analying causes. D. By making comparisons.

It is important to introduce yourself in a creative, memorable way to distinguish yourself from the crowd. 56 . Since being witty(言辞诙谐的) doesn’t always come easily, try one of these creative introductions and separate yourself from the rest. Write your first or last name on a piece of paper. 57 . So if your name is Tom, you might say you are tireless, optimistic and mild. 58 . Then say that you will do so in the words of your“best and worst critic”— your mother. By breaking the ice in this way, you can go on in either a humorous or serious fashion. Introduce yourself silently, by drawing a picture of yourself on a large sheet of paper. 59 . In fact, in some situations, it may be better if you don’t. Put a title at the top of your drawing, if you like, such as “Hello! This is me.” Turn the traditional introduction upside down by describing yourself in exactly opposite terms of who you are. Have fun with this“back door approach”, and keep people guessing just how much you are exaggerating(夸张). 60 . Don’t bother calling me tomorrow, because I will be hiding in a closet. Send text messages to my girlfriend while I drink a Bud Light on the job. A. This introduction requires you to be gifted in art. B. Freely admit that you don’t like talking about yourself. C. It doesn’t matter whether you have artistic abilities or not. D. For example: I am probaby the laziest person you will ever meet. E. Use each letter as the first letter in an adjective that describes you. F. Bring in the surprise factor— sometimes known as the shock factor. G. After all, anybody can stand up and announce their name, business title and job responsibilities.

In China, there are 61 (variety) means of transport for day-to-day living: subways, buses, cars, and even bikes… but taxis rank high on the list. Taxis are certainly the most convenient, as 62 requires little effort to raise your arm to call a cab. Besides, fares in China are affordable. They start in daytime hours in the capital at 13 yuan for 63 first 3 kilometers, after 64 you pay another 2.3 yuan per kilometer. This is far 65 expensive than that in European capitals. In London, for example, two kilometers’ ride could cost you about 63 yuan. Taxicabs , as we know today, first appeared in China in the early 20th century, but 66 (be) the reserve (特权) of the rich and the powerful. Nowadays, taking a cab is common in China. Before coming to China, I 67 (warn) that there were awful drivers who would make long detours (绕行) 68 (get) higher fares. 69 , most taxi drivers I have met are nice. They know the city like the back of their hands, and are glad to be 70 some help.
