My favorite shoes! Ive been to many conferences where my business fellows have told me how much they like my shoes. Just wearing them makes me feel more calm and content in the office. I recommend them to all of my co-workers, and I own a pair of each color.2. These are the worst shoes I have ever worn! The leather came off after only one week, and everybody thought they were ugly. The bottom of the shoes made everything slippery. My employer fired me because he hated them! From then on, I will only wear Brand X shoes!3. These shoes do exactly what shoes are supposed to do. There isnt anything too special about them. In the morning, I put them on and go about my day. They look delightful enough, and they are quite durable. I will probably buy another pair.4. These shoes are my most cherished possession. I met my bride while buying a pair of these shoes. She was the saleswoman at the store I bought them at, and after she sold me three pairs, I asked her for her phone number and we started dating. Soon after that, we were engaged. We are getting married this afternoon, and I couldnt be happier.21.How many pairs of leather dress shoes does the first customer own?A. One. B. Two. C. Three. D.

You freeze in horrors and burn with shame.What to do? Here are four common email accidents, and how to recover.Clicking “send” too soonDont waste your time trying to find out if the receivers has read it yet. Write another email as swiftly as you can and send it with a brief explaining that this is the correct version and the previous version should be ignored.Writing the wrong timeThe sooner you notice, the better. Respond quickly and briefly, apologizing for your mistake. Keep the tone measured: dont handle it too lightly, as people can be offered, especially if your error suggests a misunderstanding of their culture(I.e. incorrect ordering of Chinese names).Clicking “reply all” unintentionallyYou accidentally reveal(透露)to entire company what menu choices you would prefer at the staff Christmas dinner, or what holiday youd like to take. In this instance, the best solution is to send a quick, light-hearted apology to explain your awkwardness. But it can quickly rise to something worse, when everyone starts hitting “reply all” to join in a long and unpleasant conversation. In this instance, step away from your keyboard to allow everyone to calm down.Sending an offensive message to its subjectThe most awkward email mistake is usually committed in anger. You write an unkind message about someone, intending to send it to a friend, but accidentally send it to the person youre discussing. In that case, ask to speak in person as soon as possible and say sorry. Explain your frustrations calmly and sensiblysee it as an opportunity tic hear up any difficulties you may have with this person.24. After realizing an email accident, you are likely to feel _.A. curious B. delighted C. awful D. funny25. If you have written the wrong name in an email, it is best to _.A. apologise in a serious manner B. tell the receiver to ignore the errorC. learn to write the name correctly D. send a short notice to everyone26. How should you deal with the problem caused by an offensive email?A. By promising not to offend the receiver again.B. By seeking support from the receivers friends.C. By asking the receiver to control his anger.D. By talking to the receiver face to face.27. What is the passage mainly about?A. Defining email errors. B. Reducing email mistakes.C. Handling email accidents. D. Improving email writing.CJohn Logie Baird will always be remembered as the man who invented television. Baird was born on August 14, 1888. During the early 1920s, John Logie Baird had a small laboratory in the seaside town of Hastings. It was in that laboratory that he first succeeded in projecting a moving figure across the walls. Unfortunately, during a later experiment he got a shock. Not only did this leave him shaken, but it also blew out the fuse(保险丝) box in the entire building. The owner of the house had been suspicious of the strange goings on in the curious Scottish mans apartment and he was politely asked to leave. After that he moved to a department in Soho, London and continued his experiments. Success finally smiled on him and on October 25, 1925 he was able to transmit his first moving image. This was the first time that any such success had been achieved. Unfortunately, his eyes were the only ones to witness it at the time. He called his new invention “the televisor”. On June 16, 1926 he showed his first work to an audience of interested witnesses. But none of them imagined just what an impact his invention would have on the modern world. Over the following years, Baird worked hard for further improvement. He managed to transmit images over longer distances, achieving the first transatlantic broadcast in 1928. He became the pioneer of color television, too. He showed the first experimental color television images as early as 1928. By 1930 he had managed to develop a system for broadcasting simultaneous (同时发生的) sound along with the images. Television had truly been born. Baird continued to make many important contributions to the development of television. In 1944 he presented the first color television set to the world. He died on June 14, 1946. His invention completely transformed how we communicate, how we see each other and the world and how we spend our time.28.What happened after Braird got a shock during an experiment?A.He was too frightened to carry on with his experiments.B.The owner of the house began to suspect him.C.He politely asked for his neighbors forgiveness.D.He was driven out of the apartment in which he lived.29.What does the underlined sentence in the fourth paragraph imply?A.Baird had sharp eyes for detail.B.He couldnt believe what he saw.C.Baird was the only one witnessing the great success.D.Baird was too surprised to say a word.30.What marked the true birth of television?A.The invention of the first color television set.B.The simultaneous broadcast of sound and images.C. The first transatlantic broadcast.D.The invention of “the televisor”.31.Which of the following shows the right order of the events related to Baird?a. He moved to Soho, London.b. He transmitted his first moving image.c. He showed his work to people for the first time.d. A shock happened to him during an experiment.e. He showed the first experimental color television images.A.dabce B.debcaC.abc de D.cdebaDThe unique coloration (自然花纹) of the giant panda that is loved by many people has long been a mystery to scientists. But now a joint research team believes they have solved the mystery, once and for all. The black and white patches on the giant panda mainly have two functions camouflage (伪装) and communication, the joint research team from University of California, Davis, and California State University, Long Beach explains. The giant pandas white face, the back of ear, the back of tongue, belly, and rump (臀部) are adapted for crypsis (隐蔽) against a snowy background, whereas its black shoulders and legs are adapted for crypsis in shade, according to the study that the joint research team published in the journal of Behavioral Ecology on Feb. 28. However, dark markings on the head are not used in crypsis, but in communication: dark ears may be involved with signaling intention about aggressive behavior while dark eye marks may serve in individual recognition, according to the study.There is no strong evidence for their fur color being involved in temperature regulation, disrupting the animals outline or in reducing eye glare, the study explains. “Understanding why the giant panda has such striking coloration has been a long-standing (存在已久的) problem in biology that has been difficult to tackle because actually no other mammal has this appearance, making analogies difficult,” said Dr. Tim Karo, a professor from the University of California and the lead researcher.32.Which of the following body parts of pandas serve as intention of violence?A.Dark ears. B.White face. C.White belly. D.The dark markings on the head.33.The underlined word “tackle” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to _.A.analyze B.solve C.discover D.face34.Which of the following statements is FALSE?A.The black legs are used for disguise in shade.B.The dark eye marks may act as individual recognition.C.The fur color of a panda is involved in temperature regulation.D.The white rump of the panda is used for disguise against a snowy background.35.Where would you be most likely to find the text?A.a science fiction B.Childrens literatureC.an official document D.a science report第二节 (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。选项中有两项为多余选项。Some people are successful while others are unsuccessful. The key difference between the two groups is not talent or luck.It is what they choose to do and choose not to do. 36 1. They drift(随波逐流). Ineffective people drift though life with no clear goals.37They are busy all day without ever accomplishing the really significant things they should do. They find it hard to differentiate between jobs that are urgent and jobs that are important. They do not measure progress against written objectives because they do not set themselves any objectives. 2.38 Successful people are prepared to move out of their comfort zones and take some calculated risks. Ineffective people prefer to stay doing what they know they can do. They do not want to try new things at which they could fail or make a fool of themselves. They are reluctant to learn new skills; instead they are keen to keep treading the paths they know well. 3. They are indecisive. Successful people make choices, they are decisive and they get quite a few decisions wrong. But they move forward. When they see an opportunity, they seize it.39They defer decisions. They wait to see what will happen. They fear that if they make a decision it might turn out to be the wrong decision so they pause. They do not move forward. They miss opportunities. 4. They blame others. Ineffective people have a long list of excuses. They are victims. Their parents, teachers, bosses and colleagues have all let them down from time to time. They have been unlucky.40They know that it is their actions and choices that determine their success or failure. How can an ineffective person become effective and successful? First by acknowledging that they have some bad habits that are restricting them, and then by taking actions to break the habits. Deep-rooted habits are hard to break, but it can be done. That is what successful people do.A. Unsuccessful people often avoid hard choices.B. Here are four of the key habits of ineffective people.C. All people should try their best to realize their goals.D. They do not have a to-do list, or if they have one they ignore it.E. They avoid risks and discomfort.F. They are easily distracted.G. Successful people take charge of their lives and do not blame others.第三部分语言知识运用(共两节，满分45分)第一节 (共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。At my heaviest I weighed 370 pounds.
