Oxford Street London is a shoppers’ paradise, and most visitors head for Oxford Street. Halfway along is Selfridges, one of the world’s first department stores where the architecture and window dressing impress you even before you go in. There are at least four other major stores on this street, plus Europe’s largest music shop. In December the atmosphere is especially festive because of the Christmas lights which are always lighted by a politician, a great sportsman, or a super star. 第 2 页 共 6 页 Kensington High Street A fashionable area for shopping is Kensington High Street. One of its department stores even has a roof garden — good for relaxing between purchases. There’s also an organic food superstore. Borough Market You can’t visit London without going to a supermarket. One of the oldest and best for food is probably Borough Market on the south bank of the Thames. Get off the underground at London Bridge and wander among fresh fish stalls, bakeries, and fruit and vegetable sellers. You can also buy specialities to take away, like cheeses, pork pies, mustard and chutney. More places for bargains Portobello Road Market on a Saturday is your best choice for jewelry or collector’s items. It’s a short walk from the underground station at Notting Hill Gate and you never know what you will find. For clothes, Camden Market is the place. It gets a little crowded at the weekends, though. Convent Garden Market offers great experience for the simple pleasure of looking at jewelry and gifts. 21．Oxford Street becomes special in December for ________. A．the wonderful window dressing B．the Europe’s largest music shop C．the lights lighted by a famous person D．many bargains to choose from 22．To enjoy food，you can go to ________. A．Camden Market B．Borough Market C．Kensington High Street D．Portobello Road Market 23．Where is this passage probably taken from? A．A science book. B．A traveler’s journal. C．A news report. D．A trip guide. B I’ve never been the kind of person to say, “it’s the thought that counts” when it comes to gifts. That was until a couple of weeks ago, when my kids gave me a present that blew me away. For years now, I’ve been wanting to sell our home, the place where my husband and I raised our kids. But to me, this house is much more than just a building. In the front room, there’s a wall that has hundreds of pencil lines, marking the progress of my children’s growth. Every growth stage is marked in grey, with each child’s name and the date they were measured. Of all the objects and all the memories, it’s this one thing in a home that’s the hardest to leave behind. Friends I know have returned home after work only to discover their wall of heights has been freshly painted over. A new paint job wouldn’t normally be greeted by tears, but erasing that evidence of motherhood hurts more than it should. Our kids grow in so many ways, but the wall is physical evidence of their progress, right there for everyone to see. Over the years, I’ve talked about how much I would hate leaving that wall behind when I moved, even though the last marks were made 10 years ago when my kids stopped growing. So one day, while I was at work, my children decided to do something about it. They hired Jacquie Manning, a professional photographer whose work is about capturing (捕捉) the beautiful things in life, from clear lakes and skies to diamonds and ballgowns (舞会礼服). She came to our house while I was at work, and over several hours, took photos of the hundreds of drawings and lines, little grey fingerprints (手印), and old marks. Somehow, she managed to photograph all those years of memories perfectly. Afterwards, she put all the photos together into one image, transforming them into a beautiful history of my family. Three weeks later, my children’s wonderful gift made its way to me—a life­size photo of the pencil lines and fingerprints that represents entire lifetimes of love and growth. 24．The underlined phrase in Para. I “blew me away” probably means “________”. A．attracted me B．surprised me C．accepted me D．refused me 25．What does the house really mean to the author? A．A house. B．Buildings. C．An object. D．Memories. 26．What surprised the friends I know after work? A．Finding the wall repainted. B．Erasing the fingerprints. C．Greeting them by tears. D．Leaving the wall unfinished. 27．What is the best title for the text? A．Gift Made with Love B．Buildings Made by Children C．AVery Wonderful Painting D．A Family History C Marketers are often very conscious of the ways that their advertisements can backfire or "go wrong” in the eyes of their audiences. However, this rarely happens and there are virtually no cases where advertising has resulted in a decline in sales. A psychological reason can account for the cause. It has to do with the mere exposure effect, which basically means that the more we're exposed to something, the more we like it. The mere exposure effect is commonly attributed to Robert Zajonc for the important research that he conducted in the 1960s. His research, and the research of many others, shows that we tend to develop a liking or positive feeling for symbols or items that we see repeatedly. 第 3 页 共 6 页 When we take the mere exposure effect into account, it becomes clear why advertising rarely has a negative impact. Advertising helps to put brand assets (资产), like your logo and color and product and brand characters, in front of people, and the more these assets get in front of people, the more likely people are to develop positive feelings toward these assets and your brand. In fact, the impact of the mere exposure effect has been shown specifically in studies using advertisements, and they have found that students rated a banner ad more favorably when they had previously appeared as a pop up on their computer. In order to fully take advantage of the mere exposure effect in marketing, marketers should make sure to use recognizable elements within their advertising. In addition, they should make sure that these element s align with what the customer sees when they see the product. This will ensure that your customers will have an easier time noticing the product on the store shelves or on the computer screen and that they will have some familiarity with the brand. The mere exposure effect is just one of many psychological biases that people use to simplify how they go about the world.

A familiar song becomes more appealing. B. We often follow trends to make daily purchases. C. People are often drawn to something unfamiliar. D. Advertising with celebrities can increase product sales. 29. What can be inferred from paragraph 3? A. Advertisement creates instant brand love. B. Logos seen often in advertisements are rarely liked. C. The banner ad has a significant attraction for consumers. D. Advertisement uses exposure to develop brand appreciation. 30. What does the underlined part in paragraph 4 refer to? A. Contribute to. B. Correspond to. C. Differ from. D. Depend on. 31. Where is the text most probably taken from? A. A business webpage. B. A news report. C. A psychology textbook. D. Amarketer's diary. D Owning a dog is associated with a significantly lower risk of heart disease and death, according to a comprehensive new study published by a team of Swedish researchers on Friday in the journal Scientific Reports. The scientists followed 3.4 million people over the course of 12 years and found that adults who lived alone and owned a dog were 33 percent less likely to die during the study than adults who lived alone without dogs. In addition, the single adults with dogs were 36 percent less likely to die from heart disease. “Dog ownership was especially prominent as a protective factor in persons living alone, which is a group reported previously to be at higher risk of heart disease and death than those living in a multi­person household,” Mwenya Mubanga, a Ph.D．student at Uppsala University in Uppsala, Sweden, and the lead junior author of the study, said in a statement announcing its findings. The link between dog ownership and lower mortality(死亡率)was less pronounced in adults who lived either with family members or partners, but still present, according to the study. “Perhaps a dog may stand in as an important family member in the single households,” Mubanga added. “Another interesting finding was that owners of dogs which were intended originally for hunting were most protected.” The study, which is the largest to date on the health relations of owning a dog, suggested that some of the reasons dog owners may have a lower risk of mortality and heart disease were because dog owners walk more. “These kind of epidemiological (流行病学的)studies look for associations in large populations but do not provide answers on whether and how dogs could protect their owners from heart disease,” Tove Fall, a senior author of the study and a professor at Uppsala University, said in a statement “We know that dog owners in general have a higher level of physical activity, which could be one explanation to the observed results,” Fall added. “Other explanations include an increased well­being and social contacts or effects of the dog on the bacterial microbiome(微生物菌群) in the owner.” Fall added that because all participants of dog owners in Sweden or other “European populations with similar culture 第 4 页 共 6 页 regarding dog ownership.” 32．Why did the researchers do the study related to 3.4 million people’s health and the dogs? A．To help Europeans, B．To find their association. C．To protect unhealthy adults. D．To reduce risk of heart disease. 33．What does the underlined word “prominent” probably mean in Para.3? A．Universal. B．Confusing. C．Appealing. D．Important 34．What’s the main idea of the text? A．Adults living with dogs are less likely to die. B．Swedish people are very fond of animal pets. C．Keeping a dog is a popular and healthy hobby. D．Owning dogs reduces the risk of heart disease. 35．What’s the writer’s attitude towards owning a dog? A．Positive. B．Negative. C．Objective. D．Contradictory. 七选五（共 5小题；每小题 2.5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。 Exercise for a Better Brain Most of the time, your brain is the boss of your muscle—directing how you hit a ball, play the piano, or open a cereal box.____36____When you're active, they send chemical signals telling your brain, "Hey, it's time to grow!" Recent research suggests physical activity is good for your brain and encourages the birth and growth of new brain cells. In a study, people who ran for 45 minutes three days a week boosted their levels of a brain­derived neurotrophic（神经营养的）factor, a chemical that acts like fertilizer for new brain cells.____37____ Studies suggest that in younger adults, exercise can add to the overall number of cell in the hippocampus （海马体）.____38____It's a good deal because these new brain cells are very active and get involved in more memory circuits than older cells do. At any age, you might notice that you have an easier time remembering things after you start a new exercise. ____39____If you're inactive, walking around the block may be the only way to encourage neuroplasticity. People who don't like to move but tried to walk daily by 7500 steps or more had bigger brains than those who didn't exercise—the same to 1.4 to 2.2 fewer years of brain aging. So it is advisable for people at any age to get involved in light activity, such as doing housework, shopping, gardening, or walking the dog.____40____ A．Again, a little goes a long way. B．Tips have been offered as to how to properly exercise. C．After four months of workouts, their scores improves on a memory test. D．Besides this, studies have also suggested that dying cells can be cleared with regular exercise. E．But when it comes to growing new brain cells, more and more researches show that when you exercise, your muscles take charge. F．Exercise also helps keep brain cells alive longer and replaces old cells with new ones. G．The more light activity study participants logged, the greater the overall size of their brains. 完形填空（共 15小题；每小题 1分） In a restaurant, I met a young man.

Anabia, an 11­year­old girl, was excited because today was the drawing contest at her school. Anabia was really good at drawing and usually got the highest marks in art. Her teachers would often ask her to make posters for school plays and call on her during free periods to help with cuttings, drawing, shading, colouring and much more. There was an art competition taking place in school and Anabia had worked really hard and wanted to win it. But there was one thing that was disturbing her today. Recently, a new girl, Rida, had joined her class. She was also interested in art but she was not as good at drawing as Anabia was. Miss Saima, the art teacher, helped Rida and taught her tips and tricks to improve her drawing skill. And now Rida was also considered among the best artists in grade six. Rida was quick, smart and intelligent. Anabia became jealous of Rida’s intelligence and felt that the new girl would be tough to beat. So that day, for the art competition, Miss Saima took all the students to the art room, told them their roll numbers and gave important instructions. Anabia’s roll number was 16, while Rida was number 17. The bell rang, indicating the beginning of the contest. Miss Saima wrote on the board: make a scene of a sunset with a flowing river and a sailing boat. Anabia knew that the best tools to make a sunset were oil pastels (油画棒). Anabia started to look for her oil pastels in her art bag. Then, after looking through the bag, she remembered that she had left them at home. Immediately, she got up to tell Miss Saima. Miss Saima was disappointed at Anabia’s carelessness and told her that she could not help her, as it was her responsibility to be prepared for the contest that had been announced a week in advance. Anabia’s best friends were also there, but none of them offered to share anything, much to Anabia’s surprise and disappointment. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为 150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Para. 1.Anabia’s eyes were filled with tears.
