For some of us, shopping is an enjoyable way of spending our spare time and our money. For me, its something I would rather avoid. Thank goodness for the Internet! Its more convenient to buy CDs, electrical items, even food, from the fort of your sofa. But thats not the only reason: price is an important factor. We can buy goods and services cheaper online. But sometimes the problem is knowing what to buy. This has led to a type of shopping called “showrooming”. Showrooming is something Ive done. I will go to a shop to see, touch and try out products but then go home and buy them online at a knockdown price. Im not alone in doing this. Research by a pany called Foolproof, found 24of people showroomed while Christmas shopping in xx. Amy Cashman, Head of Technology at TNS UK, says the reasons for this new shopping habit are that “people are lacking time, lacking money and they want security about the products they are buying.” She explains that consumers are not only shopping online at home but they are using the Internet in store or on their smartphones to shop around. But does this mean technology will kill shops? Certainly shops will change. They will have to offer more petitive prices or encourage people to buy more by giving instore discounts or free gifts. We mustnt forget that buying in a shop means you can get expert advice from the sales assistant and you can get good aftercare. Its good to speak to a real human rather than look at a faceless puter screen but at least by showrooming, you get the best of both worlds!31.The two questions in Paragraph 1 are raised to A. give two examplesB. introduce the topicC. pare different opinions D. get answers from readers32.

The authors attitude towards showrooming is .A. critical B. negative C. casual D. supportiveBMy father had always been an alert (警觉的) observer of human character. Within seconds of meeting someone, he could sum up their strengths and weaknesses. It was always a challenge to see if any of my boyfriends could pass Dads test. None did. Dad was always right they didnt pass my test either. After Dad died, I wondered how Id figure it out on my own.Thats when Jack arrived on the scene. He was different from any other guy Id dated. He could sit for hours on the piano bench with my mother, discussing some posers. My brother Rick loudly announced that Jack wasnt a turkey like the other guys Id brought home. Jack passed my familys test. But what about Dads?Then came my mothers birthday. The day he was supposed to drive, I got a call. “Dont worry,” he said, “but Ive been in an accident. Im fine, but I need you to pick me up.”When I got there, we rushed to a flower shop for something for Mom. “How about gardenias?” Jack said, pointing at a beautiful white corsage (胸花). The florist put the corsage in a box.The entire ride, Jack was unusually quiet. “Are you all right?” I asked. “Ive been doing a lot of thinking,” he said. “I might be moving.” Moving? Then he added, “Moving in with you.” I nearly put the car on the sidewalk. “What?” I asked. “I think we should get married,” he said. He told me hed planned his proposal in a fancy restaurant, but after the accident, he decided to do it right away. “Yes,” I whispered. We both sat dumbfounded (目瞪口呆), tears running down our cheeks. Id never known such a tender moment. If only Dad were here to give his final approval.“Oh, lets just go inside.” Jack laughed. My mother opened the door. “Happy Birthday!” we shouted. Jack handed the box to her. She opened it up. Suddenly, her eyes were filled with tears. “Mom, whats wrong?” I asked. “Im sorry,” she said, wiping her eyes. “This is only the second gardenia corsage Ive ever received. I was given one years ago, long before you kids were born.” “From who?” I asked. “Your father,” Mom said. “He gave me one right before we were engaged.” My eyes locked on Jacks as I blinked away (眨掉) tears.

CBeing a senior high school student, my future is always on my mind. To be exact, thoughts of the future have kept me up countless nights and made me worry enough to do poorly on more than one test. Because of this, words of wisdom are a source of fort. Steve Jobs gave a speech to Stanfords graduating class in xx and his words resound repeatedly in my mind whenever I think about my future.It started when I became a junior, when college came into view. Its the first big step to make your life your own. So when Jobs discussed his life as a student, some fears were eased. He also felt the need to attend college to make something of himself. He faced what many are extremely afraid of: uncertainty. His lack of understanding caused him to stop attending college and focus on what he felt was important. His story had a happy ending, of course, since he certainly turned out well.This doesnt mean that students shouldnt attend college, but rather that they shouldnt worry so much. Youll get where you need to go, even if your path is a bit more winding than youd like.Jobs talked about the hardships in his work. His love of his work helped him carry on and he got where he was meant to be, which restates the point: dont panic. One particular part of his speech stayed with me. Steve Jobs quoted the saying “Stay hungry, stay foolish” and it has bee my motto. Staying foolish is realizing that you are still a fool, no matter how much youve learned or experienced. There is always more to explore. Staying hungry is wanting to find those things about which you are still uneducated.Steve Jobs level of success is possible to achieve, and I aim to prove that. With the will power to go into the world living every day like its my last and allowing the future to take care of itself, I will do great things. In the last moments of my life, Ill be proud of what I have done and hope to have all the wisdom a person could wish for. 40.

Based on a random sampling method, the survey, done in May last year, investigated about 1,095 people living in cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Xinjiang, Jinzhong, and Luzhou. All these people were aged between 18 and 60. The survey shows that 55.5% of the parents did not know who their childrens best friends were. Fathers, in particular, knew even less about their children than mothers, as the survey shows only 33.8% of fathers knew who their childrens best friends were while 50.8% of mothers did so, China Youth Daily reported. Parents with little education were less concerned with their childrens life, or whom their children played with. The survey shows that among parents that graduated from primary schools or without any educational background, only 33.1% knew who their childrens best friends were. Among parents that had received middle school education, the related proportion reached 45.5%. This years survey was also based on random sampling. In May xx, the Horizon Research Group investigated some 1,456 families in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Wuhan, Changsha, Xian, Chengdu and Harbin. The survey shows that children under the age of 12 play for less time with their playmates than their parents did when they were young. The survey also shows that most children at present spend only 21.9% of their time playing with their friends, while their parents spent 36.8% of their time with their playmates when they were young. Nowadays, most children spend more time with their grandparents or babysitters than with their parents.44.

These pirates then sell those recordings on the street or over the Internet for very low prices. Some share them for free. “Its unfair for people to pirate movies, ” says 15-year-old Hadaia Azad Ezzulddin. Movie piracy “takes money out of the pockets of thousands of people in the movie industry,” she notes. Victims include famous actors and directors as well as local theater owners and their employees. Hadaia came up with an idea that could help stop movie piracy. Hadaias idea uses infrared(红外线的) light. This range of light is invisible to the human eye. It is visible, however, to many types of cameras. Theater owners could place small infrared lights on their movie screens. The lights would not disturb people watching the movie. It would, however, distort the recordings made by many types of cameras. To test her idea, Hadaia built a box with a movie screen inside. Then, she projected images on that screen through a hole in the box. She took recordings of those images, using nine different types of cameras. These included the types found in cell phones as well as camcorders. During some tests, she also turned on light emitting diodes(发光二极管), or LEDs. The LEDs were embedded（植入的） in a certain place behind the movie screen. They gave out infrared light. Sure enough, she showed, a pirated movie included odd stripes or spots if it had been recorded while the LEDs were on. It might be possible to use the LEDs to flash the date and time on the movie screen. The information would then appear in the illegal recordings. Theater owners or police might use the information to track down the pirates. Cutting down on piracy might get more people into theaters to watch the real movie instead of an illegal copy. Six out of every ten films now produced arent profitable. They dont make enough money to recover how much was spent to make and market them. Such a poor payback can discourage filmmakers from producing anything but the types expected to bee blockbuster hits. It might also keep smaller theaters from showing a wider variety of movie types. 47. From what Hadaia says in Paragraph 2, we can infer that _. A. most people spend less money on pirates movesB. the pirates dont have to pay for the movie ticketsC. theater owners will increase the price of movie ticketsD. she strongly criticizes those who video movies in the theater48. Infrared lights are put on the movie screens to _. A. adjust the brightness of the movie screensB. make sure the images of movies are darkC. protect the eyesight of viewers in the darknessD. make illegal copies of movies unpleasant to see49. What is the correct order of the steps in Hadaias test? a. She projected pictures on the screen.b. She used cameras to record the pictures. c. She turned on the LEDs placed behind the screen. d. She made a special box with a movie screen inside. A. bacdB. dcabC. dbacD. bcad50. According to the last paragraph, we can know that _. A. forty percent of movies now are profitableB. small theaters often choose to show low-cost movies C. more and more people go to theaters to fight movie piracyD. filmmakers prefer to produce ordinary movies than blockbusters第四节：完成对话（共5小题，每题2分，满分10分） Sara, Ive been looking forward to our yearly camp out for 3 weeks.51.
