Billions will be spent trying to deal with a bargain in the approach to Christmas. But as close attention turns to whether or not the deals on offer are real discounts, instead of marketing tricks, spare a thought for the thousands of extra deliveries that will be made and the resulting crowding and blockage, CO2 emissions (释放), and stress that this shopping holiday creates. Demand for more drivers highlights the highly seasonal nature of shopping, with similar increases on Mother’s Day, Valentine’s Day and the run up to Christmas. Although the industry is constantly learning from past mistakes to better serve customers, it neglects extremely important energy, ability to move around and health issues. Behind the scenes, the basic equipment that makes all this online shopping possible is huge—the extra delivery vans add to already crowded and blocked roads, and drivers suffer from stress and tiredness. Seasonal shopping events like Black Friday harm people and the planet. One medium-sized business in London recently told us that roughly 75% of the goods received by its front desk in the run up to Christmas were personal parcels. Extremely importantly, in a hub-and-spoke (辐射状的)model, not only do these parcels arrive from different vans travelling long distances from different warehouses, but delivery results in travelling on some of the most precious, crowded and blocked and polluted streets in London—simply to service online shopping preferences. At this early stage of the next evolution of shopping, it is important that we consider the benefits and broader societal costs of different shopping and delivery options. Or else we risk hard-wiring in a set of expectations fighting with our responsibilities to cut carbon and improve air quality in cities. 45．What can we know about the result of extra holiday delivery? A．It creates less pleasure. B．It produces more CO2 emissions. C．It makes people crowd in the shops. D．It makes the drivers earn more money. 46．What can we infer about the drivers in Paragraph 2? A．They harm the people and the planet. B．They are needed less on Mother’s Day. C．They lead to crowded and blocked roads. D．They feel exhausted during the holiday shopping delivery. 47．Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “highlights”? A．Emphasizes. B．Suggests. C．Recommends. D．Challenges. 48．What is the text mainly about? A．The benefits of holiday shopping. B．The concerns about the holiday shopping delivery. C．The stress and tiredness caused by the holiday shopping. D．The holiday shopping’s influence on society and environment. When you leave retirement planning too late, it may be difficult to start putting aside adequate funds in the years when you have other financial commitments. The Central Provident Fund (CPF) Board conducted a Facebook contest (apps.facebook.com/areyoureadysg) last year, collecting stories and anecdotes others have to share on their difficulties in managing their finances, relating to cash flow, housing, healthcare and retirement. Thankfully, there is now an easy way to start with the latest CPF Board initiative, Are You Ready(AYR). Launched in 2011, AYR is designed to encourage Singaporeans to kick-start their financial and retirement planning. Through tools, talks and games, AYR provides an informative and interactive way for Singaporeans to understand the importance of retirement planning; and take an active role in working towards it. AYR revolves around 4 checklists built upon 4 key messages: Managing your cash flow A basic step in financial planning, this puts you in a better position to consider other aspects of retirement planning and adequacy. Buying a house within your means. This theme focuses on helping Singaporeans understand the principles of prudence and affordability in making their most expensive financial commitment. Taking charge of healthcare costs Singaporeans need to plan ahead to be financially and physically prepared for health uncertainties. Securing your retirement Increasing life expectancy means putting a financial plan in place as early as possible; to be financially independent in old age. 49．The purpose of Are You Ready initiative is to ___________. A．stimulate the interaction among Singaporeans. B．provide an incentive to contribute more in work C．inspire Singaporeans to jump off in retirement planning. D．familiarize Singaporeans with the financial system 50．Which of the following might the author most agree with? A．The effort to buy a house made people hold off on buying other items. B．With people living longer, people have to save more money for retirement. C．Health issue turns out to be the biggest consideration in retirement. D．Retirement requires people withdraw excessive income to maintain flexibility. 51．What might be the best title for the passage? A．Are You Ready-Hand-on Approaches B．Real-life Stories -Pressing Financial Burdens C．A Light for Singaporeans-Early Retirement D．Let It Go-Retirement Planning A few years ago, Paul Gerner began to gather a group of architects in Las Vegas to ask them what it would take to design a public school that used 50 percent less energy, cost much less to build and obviously improved student learning. “I think half of them fell off their chairs,” Gerner says. Gerner manages school facilities （设施） for Clark County, Nevada, a district roughly the size of Massachusetts. By 2018, 143,000 additional students will enter the already crowded public-education system. Gerner needs 73 new schools to house them. Four architecture teams have nearly finished designing primary school prototypes （样品）; they plan to construct their schools starting in 2009. The district will then assess how well the schools perform, and three winners will copy those designs in 50 to 70 new buildings. Green schools are appearing all over, but in Clark County, which stands out for its vastness, such aggressive targets are difficult because design requirements like more natural light for students go against the realities of a desert climate. “One of the biggest challenges is getting the right site orientation （朝向）,”Mark McGinty, a director at SH Architecture, says. His firm recently completed a high school in Las Vegas. “You have the same building, same set of windows, but if its orientation is incorrect and it faces the sun, it will be really expensive to cool.” Surprisingly, the man responsible for one of the most progressive green-design competitions has doubts about ideas of eco-friendly buildings. “I don’t believe in the new green religion,” Gerner says. “Some of the building technologies that you get are impractical. I’m interested in those that work.” But he wouldn’t mind if some green features inspire students. He says he hopes to set up green energy systems that allow them to learn about the process of harvesting wind and solar power. “You never know what’s going to start the interest of a child to study math and science,” he says. 52．How did the architects react to Gerner’s design requirements? A．They lost balance in excitement. B．They showed strong disbelief. C．They expressed little interest. D．They burst into cheers. 53．Which order of steps is followed in carrying out the project? A．Assessment — Prototype — Design — Construction. B．Assessment — Design — Prototype — Construction. C．Design — Assessment — Prototype — Construction. D．Design — Prototype — Assessment — Construction. 54．What makes it difficult to build green schools in Clark County? A．The large size. B．Limited facilities. C．The desert climate. D．Poor natural resources. 55．What does Gerner think of the ideas of green schools? A．They are questionable. B．They are out of date. C．They are advanced. D．They are practical. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分） Culture Shock Culture shock refers to the anxiety and feelings(of surprise,uncertainty,confusion,etc.)felt when people have to operate within a different and unknown cultural or social environment,such as a foreign country. Generally speaking,we could say that there are four stages of culture shock.The first stage is called“the honeymoon” 56 And everything seems to be wonderful and everybody seems to be so nice to you. The next stage is“the hostility stage(排斥期)”.In this stage,you begin to notice not everything is as good as you originally thought it was. 57 Moreover,people don't treat you like a guest anymore. Then you come to the third stage called“recovery”.In this stage,you start to feel more positive. 58 The whole situation starts to become more pleasant.Now you begin to learn to adapt yourself to it. The last stage of culture shock is called“adjustment". 59 You have learned enough about the new culture.The things that originally made you feel uncomfortable or strange are now things that you understand.Now you have adjusted to the new culture and you feel comfortable. Not all individuals visiting another country will experience all these four stages. 60 It also occurs within cultures as individuals move from place to place or from one setting to another. A．You should communicate with people more often. B．And you try to learn everything you don't understand. C．You become tired of many things about the new culture. D．Friends should help each other to deal with culture shock. E．In addition,culture shock is not limited to the overseas visitors. F．In this stage,you are excited about living in a different place. G．In this stage,you have reached a point where you actually feel good. 第四部分 语法填空（共10小题；每小题1. 5分，满分15分） Walking down the city streets,you look up and see 61 red telephone box.Behind it,on the road,a big red double-floor bus passes by, 62 (carry) citizens and tourists.This is London.And the red is what the city is famous 63 .

Body language is of great importance when it comes to communicating with others. On various occasions, it conveys more than the words we speak. Accordingly, proper body language assists us to leave a good impression on others. As for me, I prefer to smile when communicating with someone. A smile can narrow the distance between us. It goes without saying that it is much easier for us to make approaches to other people with a smile. Besides, a smile makes our communication joyful. Body language is significant in communication, but we should use it in a proper way. That’s all. Thanks for your listening. 答案第1页，共2页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$null
