Ⅰ.阅读理解 A Peter Whittle helps people get their time back.From behind the counter (柜台) of his repair shop，he brings life to 19th century pocket watches，old European clocks，and modern Rolexes. Digital watches and cell phones may have replaced traditional timekeepers for many，but in the 20 years since he opened Whittle's Watch Works，the demand for his services has only grown.Open three days a week，Whittle's shop takes in more than 1，000 watches a year，sometimes 10 in one day. Sixty years ago，there were more than 50，000 independent watchmakers in America.These days，the number has dropped to fewer than 6，000，according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.“People say no one wears watches anymore，” Whittle said，“but at home，somewhere in a drawer，you might have your mother's watch or your grandfather's watch.And one day，you might find that you want to get it repaired.” Whittle said he's been busy since the day he opened.He doesn't advertise，and seldom has an online presence，but people knock on the door even when the closed sign is up.During office hours he wears a long white coat that makes him look like a doctor，which he is，in a way.Whittle's services can cost very little，or hundreds. Joseph Caprara，a watch collector，has been coming to Whittle's for more than ten years.Of the dozens of timepieces he had brought to Whittle，one of the most memorable was an inexpensive watch his mother wore.“What he's really doing sometimes is restoring memories，” Caprara said.“Sometimes a watch is worth a lot more to a person than what you'd think.” Though the great increase of cell phones has led to fewer people wearing watches，Jordan Ficklin，executive director of the American Watchmakers-Clockmakers Institute，sees hope for the industry in newer devices，which he says are bringing back that sense of a physical connection with a watch.And like traditional timepieces，the marketing around computerized watches often links the device to emotional experiences: a non-athlete training for a first marathon，a parent monitoring a child's illness，people whose watches have become a basic part of their life. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇记叙文。虽然数字手表和手机可能已经取代了许多传统的计时器，但是Whittle开办的钟表店生意仍然很好，仍有很多人找他修理手表，这是因为手表能让人们想起旧时的记忆。 1．What do we know about Whittle's Watch Works? A．It is going well. B．It opens five days a week. C．It needs online advertising. D．It has fewer and fewer customers. 解析　细节理解题。根据第二段中的“but in the 20 years since he opened Whittle's Watch Works，the demand for his services has only grown”可知，Whittle的钟表店生意很好。 答案　A 2．What does Whittle think of repairing watches? A．It is demanding. B．It still has a market. C．It is disappearing slowly. D．It should charge higher than before. 解析　推理判断题。根据第三段中的“but at home，somewhere in a drawer...And one day，you might find that you want to get it repaired”可知，你可能有一天想修理你母亲或者你祖父的手表，由此可推知，Whittle认为修表还是有市场的。故选B。 答案　B 3．What did Caprara say about watches? A．They are a waste of money. B．They have gone out of fashion. C．They are likely to rise in value. D．They keep old memories alive. 解析　细节理解题。根据题干关键词Caprara可定位至文章第五段，根据第五段内容可知，Caprara认为手表可以让人回想起以前的记忆。故选D。 答案　D 4．What can we learn about computerized watches? A．They fail to sell well. B．They will replace traditional watches. C．They have a huge influence on cell phones. D．They can also create emotional ties with customers. 解析　细节理解题。根据最后一段最后一句话可知，与传统钟表一样，计算机化的手表的营销往往将该设备与情感体验联系起来，即计算机化的手表也可以与顾容建立情感联系。故选D。 答案　D B In the nineteenth century，thatch(茅草屋顶)played an important role in protecting British homes from the weather.But new technologies have since led to a rapid decline in thatching and many of the thatched cottages that remain have been changed beyond all recognition by developers or have fallen into disrepair，a rather upsetting reminder of a bygone age. A Welsh company，however，is trying to breathe new life into some of the last traditional thatched cottages in west Wales by repairing them and letting them out as holiday homes.Called “Under the Thatch”，the company is run by Greg Stevenson，who lives in his own thatched cottage in Ceredigion.As an architectural historian by training，he repairs old buildings in old-fashioned ways. All the cottages are in attractive locations around southwest Wales.Unlike most holiday homes，the cottages are let all year round—chiefly because Greg prices them lower than many holiday properties(房屋) and he'd prefer that properties are rented just above cost price than not used at all. Its success has meant that Greg has been able to buy up more old cottages and bring them back into the community.Greg has also diversified from offering only thatched cottages: he now lets out a variety of rare accommodations decorated in western styles，including a renovated(修复)train carriage and two gypsy caravans which were used by Romanies. Most of his thirty properties are run using environmentally friendly technologies，including solar panels and recycled furnishings.But most importantly，what the cottages all have in common is that they bring back life to local communities.Spend a weekend “Under the Thatch” rather than in a holiday home，buy local food and visit nearby restaurants，and you will be contributing to the local economy. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。在英国历史上曾经发挥过积极作用的茅草屋被人们遗忘且数量迅速减少，不过最近威尔士的一家公司正试图给最后的一些传统茅草屋注入新的活力。这家公司把这些茅草屋变成了复古的度假屋，并取得了成功。 5．How does the author feel when talking about thatched cottages in paragraph 1? A．Excited. B．Afraid. C．Sorry. D．Humorous. 解析　推理判断题。由第一段中的“many of the thatched cottages...a rather upsetting reminder of a bygone age”可知，许多保留下来的茅草屋要么被开发商改造得面目全非，要么年久失修，这让人难过地想起了一个逝去的时代。通过关键词“changed beyond all recognition” “fallen into disrepair” “upsetting reminder”可以判断出，作者在第一段中谈到茅草屋时有些难过。故选C。 答案　C 6．What is the main reason for the success of “Under the Thatch”？ A．The properties' low prices. B．The company's excellent services. C．The company's creative designers. D．The properties' beautiful locations. 解析　细节理解题。由第三段中的“Unlike most holiday homes，the cottages...holiday properties(房屋)”可知，“Under the Thatch”成功的主要原因是价格很低。故选A。 答案　A 7．Besides thatched cottages，what does Greg's company provide? A．Design plans for modern cottages. B．Other uncommon styles of holiday homes. C．Environmentally friendly technologies. D．Advice on developing the local economy. 解析　细节理解题。由倒数第二段中的“he now lets out...used by Romanies”可知，Greg的公司现在推出了各种罕见的西方风格的住所，所以除了茅草屋，Greg的公司还提供其他不寻常风格的度假屋。故选B。 答案　B 8．What can be the best title for the text? A．Buy Up Traditional Thatched Cottages B．Protect British Homes from the Weather C．Spend a Weekend under the Thatch D．Bring Properties Back into the Community 解析　主旨大意题。通读全文尤其是最后一段的内容可知，作者通过对英国历史上曾经发挥过积极作用的茅草屋的介绍以及对这些传统茅草屋被注入新的活力后的现状的描述，呼吁游客“在茅草屋下”度过周末，而不是在度假屋中度过。所以短文的最佳标题为“在茅草屋下度周末”。故选C。 答案　C Ⅱ.七选五 Cinemas may completely disappear in the West.Every year，fewer people are going to the cinema. 1 It's the same story in the US，Canada and Australia. 2 High prices are one reason.A ticket can cost around ￡16 in London.But it's not only the tickets：prices of snacks in cinemas are often double those in a normal shop.Many people can't afford to go to the cinema. 3 With the rise of TV and film streaming services at home，there are a lot more choices than at the cinema.The UK's top streaming service offers over 5，000 films and TV shows to its customers，all for the cheap price of ￡8 a month.It used to be that only cinemas could offer a high quality film experience on a big screen，but that's changed. 4 Many even have “surround sound”in their living rooms，where sounds are played all around home.And at home fans can sit in a comfortable seat and eat their own cheap snacks. In addition，fans can really concentrate on a film by watching it at home.At the cinema，some people talk loudly about the cast and give away the plot.Even worse，little kids race up and down，crying and laughing. 5 In a word，social trends have changed movie-going habits，as have new forms of competition from other media. A．Most people now have a large HDTV. B．At home，these problems don't exist. C．Nowadays，only 165 million tickets are sold in the UK. D．Instead of a night out，fans are choosing to watch films at home. E．People can't enjoy surround sound when watching films at home. F．It's certain that there will be no cinemas in the West in the future. G．There are many reasons why people have stopped going to the cinema.
