The windows are broken and there is no front door. The broker himself has not been inside the home because his company has a policy of not going in unsecured houses alone. Detroits declining fortunes have left its population about a third of what it used to be in its peak, according to the U.S. Census Bureau（人口普查办公室）.Now, the property has accrued (拖欠) more than $6,000 in back taxes (退税款) and will enter foreclosure next year if that debt is not settled. So while the owner is asking for an iPhone 6, the true cost of the sale comes from the buyer including the cost of the back taxes.That attracted great interest in the property, as Else said that he received four offers today alone. One woman said she was interested in the house for the wood. Another said that they would be willing to hand over an iPhone 5, and another offered $ 850. But Else hinted that the most likely buyer is someone who already lives on the block and put in a $ 700 bid（出价）, and their familiarity with the area appeared to put them at the head of the pack. He said he expects one of the four offers to work out, and may even confirm the sale tonight.This is not the end of his bartering (物物交换) business, however, as Else said that hes already gotten another call from a homeowner who has had trouble selling their property. 1、Why did the owner drop his price for the house?A. Because the house was too old.B. Because there is a boom in economy. C. Because he wanted to sell the house quickly.D. Because the population in Detroit is small.2、Larry Else hasnt come into the house because _.A. it is dangerous to enter itB. the owner doesnt permit itC. he is not familiar with the areaD. it will break the companys rule3、The house will most possibly be sold at the price of _.A. $ 5,000 B. $ 850 C. $ 700 D. an iPhone 64、The passage is most probably taken from _.A. a story book B. a news report C. an economy report D. a tourist brochure参考答案14、CDCB 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。It takes more than just practice to become an Olympian.

A messy desk can actually lead people towards clearer thinking, say researchers from Germany. The researchers found in a series of linked studies- using a messy desk and a messy shop front -that people actually thought more clearly when all around was chaos, as they sought to simplify the tasks at hand. That is ,visual and mental clutter（杂乱）forces human beings to focus and think more clearly. For instance, famous thinkers and writers such as Albert Einstein and Roald Dahl have been notorious for their untidy desks. “Messy desks may not be as detrimental as they appear to be, as the problem-solving approaches they seem to cause can boost work efficiency or emhance employees creativity in problem solving,” say the authors.Oddly, the effect seems to work most on conservatives-political liberals are less liable to be worried about mess in the first place, say the researchers. “Business and government managers often promote clean desk policies to avoid disorganized offices and messy desks, for the purpose of boosting work efficiency and productivity.” Writes a researcher, Jia Liu of the University of Groningen, “This practice is based on the conventional wisdom that a disorganized and messy environment can clutter ones mind and complicate ones judgments”“However, not all evidence supports this conventional link between a messy environment and a messy mind”. The scientists tested peoples response in variousmessyenvironments, including a messy shop front, a disorganized desk, and even a work environment where a language taskremindedpeople of messiness.The authors found in the series of six studies that people tended towards simplicity in their thinking.“They categorized products in a simpler manner, were willing to pay more for a T-shirt that depicts a simple-looking picture, and sought less variety in their choices”, said the researchers.61.According to the text, a proper way to lead people towards clearer thinking is to . A.make a list of priorities B.simplify the tasks at hand C.follow famous people D.mess up their mind【答案】B【解析】根据第二段第一句可知 当四周混乱的时候，他们的思维更清晰。因为他们试图简化手头的工作。62.Why did the author take Albert Einstein and Ronald Dahl for example? A.To tell readers untidy desks can make you as famous as celebrities. B.To convince readers that untidiness is not all that bad. C.To inform readers of one way to success-untidy desks. D.To attract readers and show the authors wide range of knowledge.【答案】B【解析】第二段倒数第二句“视觉上和精神上的杂乱迫使人们集中注意力思维更清晰”；最后一句接着举了Albert Einstein and Ronald Dahl的例子，就是为了说明上一句的。63.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A.A messy environment will certainly lead to a messy mind. B.A clean environment will do great harm to work efficiency. C.People tend to clear up the mess before thinking clearly. D.All people are not in favor of “clean desk” in the office.【答案】D【解析】D项的意思是“并不是所有人都赞成办公室里清洁的桌子”。可从倒数第三段东一句可知。64.The underlined word “detrimental” probably means . A.disadvantageous B.useful C.beneficial D.accessible【答案】A【解析】根据下句可知“。他们导致的解决问题的方法能够促进工作效率”。所以第一句的意思是“杂乱的桌子看上去似乎不想他们看上去那么有害的” 65.What is the main idea for this passage? A.The messier the desks are, the more efficient the employees are. B.Messy desks in the office can have a positive effect on employees. C.We should make our office messy to improve our work efficiency.

I started to dream of retirement. Sitting in traffic on a weekday morning, I would find my mind wandering, I would imagine spending time with my grandchildren, quiet evenings with my wife, traveling, or rediscovering some great books. I told myself that I wouldnt sign myself up for any committees, any classes, or anything requiring a schedule. My first day of retirement came at last!I cooked a great breakfast for my wife and me, leisurely read the paper, cleaned a bit of the house, and wrote a few letters to friends. On the second day, I cooked breakfast, read the paper . . . On the third day, . . . This is retirement? I tried to tell myself that it was just the transition(过渡), that those golden moments were right round the corner, and that I would enjoy them soon enough. But something was missing. A former colleague asked a favor. A group of students were going to Jamaica to work with children in the poorest neighborhoods. Would I interrupt my new found “happiness” and return to the students, just this once? One trip. Thats all. My bags were packed. The trip was very inspiring. I was moved not only by the poverty I saw but also by the sense of responsibility of the young people on the trip. When I returned home, I offered to work one day a week with a local youth organization. The experience was so positive that I was soon volunteering nearly full-time, working with students across North America to assist them in their voluntary work. Now, it seems the tables have turned. Some days I am the teacher, other days I am the student. These young people have reawakened my commitment (责任感) to social justice issues by challenging me to learn more about the situation in the world today, where people are still poor and suffer because of greed, corruption and war. Most importantly, they have given me the opportunity to continue to participate in helping to find solutions. In return, I help them do their charitable projects overseas. Ive gone from running one school to helping oversee the construction of schools in twenty-one countries! 1. What did the writer expect to do after he retired? A. To stay away from busy schedules. B. To write some great books. C. To do some voluntary work. D. To plan for his future. 2. Why did the writer decide to go to Jamaica? A. He missed his students in that country. B. He couldnt refuse his colleagues favor. C. He was concerned about the people there. D. He was not satisfied with his retired life. 3. Which of the following could be the best title for the passage? A. My Retired Life. B. Being the Head of a High School. C. My Attitudes towards Life. D. An Experience of Being a Volunteer. 4. What does the writer think of his retired life now? A. Disappointing. B. Troublesome. C. Promising. D. Meaningful.【参考答案】33.ADAD
