I just want to know the location of the little red light，and now that Parks is gone，I realize that I never will.语篇解读本文为一篇记叙文，涉及家庭、朋友与周围的人的话题。讲述了一家五金店的倒闭和人们对它的怀念的一些情况。4Why did Parks decide to stop its business?AThe owner invested in other business.BThe owner couldnt make enough money.CIts location was not convenient for shopping.DIt couldnt win enough affection from the locals.解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Running a small，local，familyowned hardware business was no longer profitmaking.The towns affection for Parks Hardware was just not enough to allow it to compete against the giant warehouse stores.”可知，经营这样的五金店已经不能够挣钱了，镇上的人们对这家五金店的喜爱并不能使它赢得与大型仓储式商店的竞争。故选B。答案：B5What did Parks do before closing?AIt had a closing down sale.BIt struggled for its reorganization.CIt distributed its goods to regulars.DIt looked for a new owner.解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的“the lettering on the front window changed from20% OFF EVERYTHING to30%，40%”可知，五金店在关门息业之前采取了加大力度打折促销的方式，即清仓大处理。故选A。答案：A6What does the writers experience in Paragraph 3 indicate?AThe benefit of having more choices.BThe pressure of competition for Parks.CThe good service of Parks.DThe responsible working attitude of large stores.解析：推理判断题。根据第三段中的“The man examined it，and said，Neither can I”以及“Lin would spring into action and together wed sit down to find the solution.”可知，作者提及自己购买无线门铃的经历是为了说明这家大型商店和帕克的五金店在服务质量方面存在的差别，借以突出帕克的五金店良好的服务。故选C。答案：C7Whats the writers tone in writing this passage?AHumorous.BSupportive.CCritical.DRegretful.解析：推理判断题。从文章开始到文章结束，作者在字里行间都描述了自己和其他人对镇上一家五金店关门的惋惜之情。故选D。答案：D.阅读七选五Although people value intelligenceunderstanding，reasoning，the ability to learnthey also respect wisdom，or the knowledge and experience that they gain over a lifetime.In some ways，wisdom is like beauty: we value it，we desire it，we know it when we see it，but it is nearly impossible to pin down such a nice quality.11Working at being social.Studies show that people who stay connected with others show higher levels of wisdom than those who remain alone.2Next time youre at a party or gathering，single out someone whos standing alone and strike up a conversation.23Wisdom involves being able to understand all sides of an issue without letting personal feelings get in the way.Opening your mind means realizing that everyone has a life story that influences their actions.During the course of every day，make a note of the issues that annoy you，and take a moment to see them from the other side.3Learning how to say “I could be wrong”A wise person understands that it is impossible to know everything and that life is likely to take unexpected turns.4Admitting that there are times when you could be mistaken will go a long way towards strengthening your fame.4Reading the news.5If you havent already read a daily paper or news online，start by going through a single frontpage article from a major respected news source.Almost everyone has the potential to become wiser，particularly if you strengthen these habits.APracticing being openminded.BSharing good news with your friends.CBut researchers have tried and here are what theyve found.DRecognizing your errors can lead only to even greater wisdom.EMake an effort to join a new club，or invite an old friend for coffee.FYou do not have to admit your mistakes if you are really unwilling to.GYou cannot make balanced choices unless you understand world circumstances.语篇解读本文主要介绍了如何变得更有智慧。1解析：空处承接下文，且与上文在逻辑上有转折关系，在文章中起承上启下的作用，所以选C项，介绍研究人员发现的变得更有智慧的方法。答案：C2解析：根据“Working at being social.”并结合下文中的“Next time youre at a party or gathering，single out someone whos standing alone and strike up a conversation.”可知，空处举例说明人们要参加社交活动，提升智慧，故选E项。答案：E3解析：根据本段中的“Opening your mind means realizing that everyone has a life story that influences their actions.”并结合本段的整体内容可推知，本段主要鼓励人们要思想开明，所以选A项。答案：A4解析：根据“Learning how to say I could be wrong”和空后一句可知，承认错误会让人更加有智慧，所以选D项。答案：D5解析：结合“Reading the news.”并根据本段整体内容可推知，阅读新闻会让人们对周围甚至整个世界有一定的了解，这也会让人变得更有智慧，所以选G项。答案：G.语法填空When I was an international student in China，I was lucky to experience Chinese New Year.The buildup was exciting as everywhere 1.
