The purpose of the advertisement is to _ .A. attract students to libraries B. offer job opportunities C. raise money for libraries D. introduce new books BMy morning routine varies little from day to day. I walk the dog, eat breakfast at the kitchen counter with Katie and Matt, and then settle in for a day at the puter. And because I work mostly from home, I have learned that little walks into the outside world are important for psychological well-being. So before I begin attempting to put sentences together, I walk over to a little coffee shop in my neighborhood, and chat with the folks behind the counter.The coffee shop is on the other side of the historic Chesapeaker & Ohio Canal from my house. Whenever in season, tourists line up to take a slow boat, if not to India, at least into the 19th century.One warm day last fall, I turned the corner to see one of the boatmen sitting alone on the boat, bathed in early-morning light. He was playing the violin. The scene stopped me in my tracks. What I witnessed could only be described as a perfect moment. Ten seconds at most. But months later I still remember just standing there, watching, listening, and taking it all in.We all have such moments put before us. Little surprises. Whether were wise enough to see them is another thing.I thought of the violin man one Sunday afternoon while reading the biographies of those killed in the Columbia incident. The specialist Laurel Clark, talking from the shuttle a few days before it was to land, said it was blissful to see the simple unexpected wonders of space, like a sunset. “Theres a flash; the whole payload bay turns this rosy pink,” she said. “It only lasts about 15 seconds, and then its gone.”I once had a friend who had a strange habit that never stopped to amuse me, maybe because I never quite knew when she was going to spring it on me. It could e in the middle of a particularly lively dinner with old friends. Out of the blue, shed say, “Stop! I want to remember this moment.” I realize now, after her death, what wise advice that is. 54. The author goes out for a walk every day in the morning mainly because _.A. she needs to walk the dog and enjoy the fresh airB. she considers that it is good for her physical healthC. she hates to be left alone at home when others are out D. she benefits psychologically from contacting the outside world55. The underlined word “blissful” in Paragraph 5 probably means _.A. fortable B. valuableC. enjoyableD. reasonable56. The main purpose of the passage is to tell people to _.A. develop a good habitB. enjoy life to the fullestC. catch the valuable moments in lifeD. be willing to follow friends advice57. The author of this passage might be a _.A. writerB. housewifeC. sailorD. waitress CYour car is a necessary part of your life. You use it every day. Of course, you want to hold on to it so you make sure it has the latest alarm and immobilizer(汽车防盗器). But despite all these, cars like yours are still stolen every day. In fact, in this country, one car is stolen almost every minute! And if your car is stolen, you only have a 50:50 chance of seeing it again.Each year, car crime costs nearly 3 billion. Of course, if youre insured, you wont lose out, or will you? Firstly, you will have to pay extra insurance later on, and then you may not be offered the full amount by the agent. You will probably have to hire a car and you will also lose the value of the contents and accessories(配件) in the car.Now es the solution. An RAC Trackstar system, hidden in one of 47 possible secret locations in your car, is the key to our system. If your car is stolen, radio signals are sent at twenty-second intervals from the car to the RAC Trackstar National Control Center via a satellite network. Then a puter gives the vehicles exact location, speed and direction.The RAC Trackstar National Control Center, which operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, will immediately inform the police in the area where the car is located. Because the police receive information every twenty seconds, they will always know the vehicles location. Once the thief has been arrested, your car will be returned to you.RAC Trackstar is unique in being able to provide the National Control Center with details of the exact location of your car, its speed and direction. And speed is the key to successful recovery of a stolen vehicle. RAC Trackstar Control will immediately tell the police if you report your car stolen and under the 24-hour Guardian Option. It will also tell you if your car has been stolen. RAC Trackstars constant updates mean the police are kept informed of the cars location. All these greatly improve your chances of seeing your car again. 58. If your car is stolen, you will have to _. A. hire a new car B. pay more insuranceC. buy a RAC Trackstar system D. inform the National Control Center 59. The Trackstar system can tell the police _.A. where the car isB. how the car is stolenC. who the thief isD. what brand the car is60. According to the passage, with RAC Trackstar, people will _. A. have less chances of having their car stolen B. surely get their stolen car backC. lose no time in finding their stolen car D. predict whether their car has been stolen61. We can learn from the passage that _. A. the speed of the car will help the police find the stolen car B. RAC Trackstar system is installed in the car C. you wont lose money if your stolen car is insured D. Without an RAC Trackstar, you cant get your lost car back.DThere is no doubt emerce is growing, and it will continue to grow. However, physical stores would not die as a result of the rise of emerce, at least not in the near future. The idea that emerce is taking over physical stores has already misguided many people. Physical stores are far from vanishing（消逝）, and there are some solid reasons for it.Theprojectionsfor online spending is optimistic with150 billion expected to be spent in the ing three years, yet we are also expecting 300 billion in spending at physical stores in the same duration. Do you still think that physical-store shopping is too small to sustain(支撑) the emerce blow?Even though consumers are staying away from physical stores that follow older concepts, yet we are seeing the rise of fresh concept stores all around the US. We are seeing innovative and attractive success stories of physical stores, ranging from clothes stores to restaurants to health spas. It would be easy to assume that this trend will continue.Indeed, many shopping malls are dying, yet there are still those shopping centers that are performing well. You can see this for yourself by visiting shopping malls near you. What I want to emphasize here is that not all shopping centers are made equal, just like not all emerce retailers（零售商） are made equal. Both shopping malls and emerce sites can lose business if they fail to maintain productivity through improvements and innovations. When you visit shopping centers that are serious about their business, you would see their shops and parking lots packed.On the other hand, even e-tailers like Amazon have experimented with pop-up shopping concepts. It is important to bear in mind that consumers prefer face-to-face interactions instead of online interactions during shopping, meaning that physical stores are going to stay there.Still, emerce retailers are seeing all of their excitement disappear as they settle the sales tax problem associated with e-tailing. As of now, five states of America have already imposed sales tax on purchases through emerce sites, and e-tailers in those states have already witnessed 6 to 12 percent decrease in sales.This reinforces the fact that physical stores are here to stay, and if you are still undervaluing their growth, you are omitting(省略) a huge chunk of the retail representation.62. The underlined word projections in Paragraph 2 probably means _.A. predictions B. assessments C. performances D. intentions63. What can we infer from the passage?A. E-tailers are more creative businesses.B. Fresh concepts help build good business.C. Fewer consumers will visit physical stores.D. Physical stores cant stand the blow of emerce.64. What is the best title for this passage?A. Will Physical Stores replace emerce in the Near Future？B. Is Offline Spending Greater Than Online Spending?C. Online Stores V.S. Physical StoresWhats the Difference?D. Does emerce Success Mean Physical Stores Will Disappear?65. Which of the following shows the development of the passage?第二节根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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。EHave you ever had a wonderful idea and thought it would make a great invention，but didnt know what to do next？ 66 They will help you make your dreams e true and bee a famous inventor.The first thing that you should do is do some research on the Internet to see if anyone else has invented it.
