A
During this shopping season, salespeople will come up with different strategies to attract your business. Many product companies use specific colors to cause positive emotions and compete for sales. However, sight is not the only sensory detail that companies use. Sounds and smells can also influence consumer purchasing decisions.
Nobel Prize-winning research shows that our sense of smell has great power to cause an emotional response. A study published earlier this year compared purchasing behavior in a French flower shop when the smell of lavender was given off and when it wasn’t. It found that the smell increased the number of customers purchasing items and the amounts of their purchases. An earlier study using Nike shoes found that consumers desired the shoes more, and were willing to pay more, when the room had a mixed smell of flowers. Realizing the subconscious impact of smell, many stores apply artificial scents through their heating and air-conditioning vents or place scent machines above their doors. For instance, a coconut scent might make that bikini more appealing as you long for a vacation.
Ever felt excited due to a store’s fast-paced music? Or calmed by a piece of light music? A retailer’s choice of music can have a big impact on customer moods. One study found that when subjected to loud music, customers will spend less time in a store. But interestingly, the researchers did not find a difference in sales or customer satisfaction. Another interesting finding from a recent study was that customers actually shop longer when exposed to unfamiliar music. Just as department stores use different scents in certain departments, many use different music in some areas to appeal to various consumers.
Well, you could always leave the store and take a break, but the food court probably isn’t your best choice as brands like Cinnabon and Panera Bread also use scents as part of their customer experience. Online retailers use a variety of other strategies to get your business, but you can always ignore those and enjoy the familiar scents of home.
1. The passage is mainly about ______.
A. two factors affecting consumers’ shopping habits
B. the strategies for satisfying consumers
C. special services from super shopping malls
D. consumers’ favorite sounds and smells
2. How does music affect consumers according to the passage?
A. It controls consumers’ desire for shopping.
B. It influences how long consumers stay in a shop.
C. It gives consumers the satisfaction of enjoying the products.
D. Whether consumers are willing to purchase goods depends on it.
3. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “excited” in Paragraph 3?
A. Satisfied. B. Depressed. C. Surprised. D. Stimulated.
4. What does the writer try to express in the last paragraph?
A. Online shopping is becoming more and more popular.
B. People should spend more time at home with families.
C. People can choose to escape shops’ promotion strategies.
D. Smells and sounds are important for consumers’ shopping experience.
【答案】1. A 2. B 3. D 4. C
【解析】
【导语】文章主要介绍商家用气味和声音影响消费者购物决策的策略。
【1题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是根据第一段中“However, sight is not the only sensory detail that companies use. Sounds and smells can also influence consumer purchasing decisions.(然而,视觉并非商家使用的唯一感官细节,声音和气味同样会影响消费者的购买决策。)”可知,全文围绕气味、声音这两个影响消费者购物习惯的核心因素展开。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“One study found that when subjected to loud music, customers will spend less time in a store.(一项研究发现,当身处喧闹的音乐环境中时,消费者在店内停留的时间会更短。)”可知,音乐会直接影响消费者在店内的停留时长。
【3题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段中“Ever felt excited due to a store’s fast-paced music? Or calmed by a piece of light music?(你是否曾因商店的快节奏音乐感到兴奋?或是因一段轻音乐感到平静?)”可知,快节奏音乐会对人形成感官刺激,人们因商店的快节奏音乐感到兴奋,此处excited意思为“受刺激的,亢奋的”,和stimulated语义最接近。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Online retailers use a variety of other strategies to get your business, but you can always ignore those and enjoy the familiar scents of home.(线上零售商也会用各类策略吸引你消费,但你完全可以忽略这些,在家享受熟悉的气味。)”可知,作者意在表达消费者可以主动避开商家的各类促销诱导策略。

By high school, T. J. was the most famous one in his town. I met him for the first time at a weekend leadership election. When I showed up, the community leaders gave me this overview of the attending students: “We have all the students here today, from the student president to T. J. Ware, the boy with the longest arrest record in the history of town.”
At the start of the election, he was standing against the back wall. He didn’t really join the discussion groups, or didn’t seem to have much to say. But slowly, the interactive games drew him in. The ice melted when the groups started building a list of positive and negative things that had occurred at school that year. T. J. had some definite comments on those situations. All of a sudden he was being treated like a leader. He knew something about poverty, hunger and hopelessness, and everyone was listening. By the end of the election, he had joined the Homeless Project team. The other students on the team elected him co-chairman of the team.
But when T. J. showed up at school on Monday morning, he arrived to a firestorm. A group of teachers were protesting (抗议) to the school principal about his being elected co-chairman. They reminded the principal, “He’ll probably steal half the food.”
Surprisingly, two weeks later, T. J. and his friends led a group to collect food. They created a school record: 2,854 cans of food in just two hours. It was enough to fill the empty shelves in two neighborhood centers, and the food took care of needy families in the area for 75 days. The local newspaper covered the event with a full-page article the next day. The event he led now collects 9,000 cans of food in one day, taking care of 70 percent of the need for food for one year.
Maybe you’ve heard the saying, “A bird with a broken wing will never fly as high.” T. J. reminds us that a bird with a broken wing only needs mending. But once it has healed, it can fly higher than the rest.
5. What was T. J. famous for when the author first met him?
A. Collecting food. B. Making troubles.
C. Being elected co-chairman. D. Showing up at the election.
6. Which of the following is true?
A. The groups welcomed T. J.’s opinions.
B. T. J. knew little about the topics in the discussions.
C. T. J. was unwilling to collect food for needy families.
D. The groups made a list of positive and negative things about T. J..
7. Why did T. J. arrive to a firestorm?
A. He was caught in terrible weather. B. He suffered a fire disaster.
C. His stealing was made public. D. His being elected was strongly opposed.
8. What does the story intend to tell us?
A. God helps those who help themselves.
B. Bad times makes a good man.
C. Everyone deserves a chance to clean up their mistakes.
D. Bad luck often brings good luck.
【答案】5. B 6. A 7. D 8. C
【解析】
【导语】文章讲述有不良记录的少年T.J.获得机会、改过自新并做出突出贡献,告诉我们犯错的人也值得改过自新的机会。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“We have all the students here today, from the student president to T. J. Ware, the boy with the longest arrest record in the history of town.(今天到场的学生都在这里,从学生会主席到T·J·韦尔,这个镇上有史以来被捕记录最多的男孩)”可知,作者初次见到T.J.时,他因惹麻烦、有不良被捕记录而出名。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“T. J. had some definite comments on those situations. All of a sudden he was being treated like a leader. He knew something about poverty, hunger and hopelessness, and everyone was listening.(T·J.对这些情况给出了一些明确的评价。突然间他被大家当作领导者对待。他了解贫穷、饥饿和绝望,所有人都在倾听他的发言)”可知,小组接纳并欢迎T.J.的观点。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“A group of teachers were protesting (抗议) to the school principal about his being elected co-chairman. They reminded the principal, “He’ll probably steal half the food.”(一群老师向校长抗议他当选联合主席。他们提醒校长:“他可能会偷走一半的食物。”)”可知,T.J.遭遇激烈非议,是因为他当选联合主席一事遭到强烈反对。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Maybe you’ve heard the saying, “A bird with a broken wing will never fly as high.” T. J. reminds us that a bird with a broken wing only needs mending. But once it has healed, it can fly higher than the rest.(或许你听过这句谚语:“折翼之鸟永飞不高。”T·J的经历提醒我们,折翼的鸟儿只需要修补伤口。一旦痊愈,它可以飞得比其他鸟儿更高)”可知,文章旨在告诉我们,每个人都拥有改正错误、重塑自我的机会。
C
We can have conflicts with our important persons like friends, relatives, workmates, etc. But the conflicts doesn’t necessarily mean that the relationship will be destroyed. In fact, sometimes conflict helps people to let out their silent feelings, allowing them to free their suppressed emotions. However, when in a conflict, we usually get angry and say or do things which aren’t linked to the problem at hand. Therefore, it is important that we should try to avoid conflicts through effective communication.
In a heated argument, we usually say things that aren’t related to the real problem, and even use rude words to make sure we gain an advantage over the other person. Then the whole situation goes badly. So we should separate(隔离) the root cause of the problem and build our discussion around it. This ensures that there are no rude remarks and the situation moves in a positive direction.
It’s easy for us to think we’re right and if something isn’t working out, it surely must be someone else’s fault. However, if you aim to solve a conflict, first of all, you should show some respect and allow the other party to express themselves. Using remarks like, “I understand your concern on this” or “I know you’re right at your end”, would make the other person feel more appreciated.
Sometimes some people get too excited and may behave in the wrong way or say something others may not appreciate. This can cause a worse situation. Actually, they should control their emotions and keep calm. This has to be learned through self-control and observing behavior of other people.
The tips mentioned above are useful for most situations. However, we don’t rule out the possibility that there are some people always want to create some sort of trouble for others. You can tell them from others, and putting in an effort to resolve a conflict with them may just not be a wise idea. The best way to deal with these people is to forget them. A famous saying can help you and that is: “You should never fight with a pig; you both get dirty and only the pig likes it.”
9. What can we learn from Paragraph 1?
A. Conflicts may help us deal with our emotions.
B. Conflicts can improve our relations with others greatly.
C. Effective communication can help us avoid conflicts undoubtedly.
D. The closer two friends are, the more conflicts are between them.
10. When making discussions to solve conflicts, we should .
A. know others’ personal quality
B. know others’ ability of expression
C. avoid showing our disadvantages
D. avoid the root cause of the problem
11. The author suggests that when people get too excited, they should .
A. behave like other people B. control the situation
C. learn to keep their head D. say something unconcerned
12. In the author’s opinion, how should you deal with those who always want to create trouble for you?
A. Fight with them. B. Ignore them.
C. Have a talk with them. D. Give them something they like.
【答案】9. A 10. D 11. C 12. B
【解析】
【分析】日常生活中,我们会与各种各样的人发生冲突,即使是最重要的人。文章介绍通过有效的交流来避免冲突的几个技巧。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段的内容In fact, sometimes conflict helps people to let out their silent feelings, allowing them to free their suppressed emotions.(事实上,有时候冲突能帮助人们释放他们无声的情感,允许他们释放他们压抑的情感。)可推知,A项“冲突或许能帮助我们处理情感”正确,故选A。

细节理解题。根据第二段内容So we should not separate(隔离) the root cause of the problem…This ensures that there are no rude remarks and the situation moves in a positive direction.(我们不应该隔离问题的根源……这样会确保没有粗鲁的评论,情势向积极的方向发展。)可知,在讨论中,我们应该关注问题的根源。故选D。

I’v worked part time since taking early retirement ten years ago. I was inspired by an older friend. We worked for the same company, and he retired two years before I was also considered “spare”, as some companies call it.
Soon after I left work, we had lunch together. First, he assured me that there was life after work. Then he related his own experience. He didn’t want to take another full-time job, so he turned his daughter’s old bedroom into a home office. He arranged for some consulting work from our old company, and he picked up more projects from other contacts. Soon he was working 20 to 30 hours a week. He wasn’t making as much money. His kids were grown-up, so he didn’t need as much income. “As soon as I left that job,” he told me, “my back problems went away. I started to eat better and get more exercise, I make half as much money, but I feel twice as good, and I’m twice as happy.”
I decided to follow a similar track. At the time, my younger child almost finished college, so my parental responsibilities were winding down. We sold our old house and moved into a townhouse. I went to work for myself. And the result? Today I, too, make less money. But we make ends meet. And I feel twice as good and twice as happy.
Our experience isn’t for everybody. But a lot of people have retired early and lived to tell the tale, which proves it possible. Jack, another friend, was a salesman for a communication firm. He had a long distance to work and did a lot of traveling. He decided to leave the corporate world, in part because he had health problems and he wanted to spend more time with his family. Later, he quit his job with flexible hours and was restored to his health. And now he has found a part-time job, and he, together with his family, is leading a more relaxing life.
13. How did the author and his friends feel about their retired life?
A. It’s busy but wealthy. B. It’s flexible but tiring.
C. It’s healthy and happy D. It’s relaxing and wasteful.
14. What did the writer’s friend try to tell him at lunch that day?
A. He regretted not leaving his job earlier. B. He lived a much better life after retiring
C. He made more money after finding a new job. D. His life was not easy for him after losing his job.
15. Before Jack left his last job, he ______.
A. lived a busy life B. used to find part-time jobs
C. often traveled with his family D. worked hard as a real travel agent
16. What does the author mainly confirm by writing the text?
A. Health is more important than work
B. Young people generally live an exhausting life.
C. More retired people are paying attention to health.
D. It may be a good choice for people who retire early to do a part-time job.
【答案】13. C 14. B 15. A 16. D
【解析】
【导语】作者结合自身与朋友的早退休经历,介绍早退休后做兼职的生活状态,证明这是不错的生活选择。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“I started to eat better and get more exercise, I make half as much money, but I feel twice as good, and I’m twice as happy.(我开始吃得更好、锻炼更多,我赚的钱减半,但身体状态好了一倍,幸福感也翻倍)”以及第三段“And I feel twice as good and twice as happy.(而且我的身体状态好了一倍,幸福感也翻倍)”、第四段“he quit his job with flexible hours and was restored to his health. And now he has found a part-time job, and he, together with his family, is leading a more relaxing life.(他辞去工作,身体得以恢复。如今他找到一份兼职,和家人过着更轻松的生活)”可知,作者和朋友们的退休生活健康且幸福。

Spring is coming, and it is time for those about to graduate to look for jobs. Competition is tough, so job seekers must carefully consider their personal choices. Whatever we are wearing, our family and friends may accept us, but the workplace may not.
A high school newspaper editor said it is unfair for companies to discourage visible tattoos (纹身), nose rings, or certain dress styles. It is true you can’t judge a book by its cover, yet people do “cover” themselves in order to convey certain messages. What we wear, including tattoos and nose rings, is an expression of who we are. Just as people convey messages about themselves with their appearances, so do companies. Dress standards exist in the business world for a number of reasons, but the main concern is often about what customers accept.
Others may say how to dress is a matter of personal freedom, but for businesses it is more about whether to make or lose money. Most employers do care about the personal appearances of their employees, because those people represent the companies to their customers.
As a hiring manager I am paid to choose the people who would make the best impression on our customers. There are plenty of well-qualified candidates, so it is not wrong to reject someone who might disappoint my customers. Even though I am open-minded, I can’t expect all our customers are.
There is nobody to blame but yourself if your set of choices does not match that of your preferred employer. No company should have to change to satisfy a candidate simply because he or she is unwilling to respect its standards, as long as its standards are legal.
17. Which of the following is the newspaper editor’s opinion according to Paragraph 2?
A. People’s appearances carry message about themselves.
B. Customers’ choices influence dress standards in companies.
C. Candidates with tattoos or nose rings should be fairly-treated.
D. Strange dress styles should not be encouraged in the workplace.
18. What can be inferred from the text?
A. Candidates have to wear what companies prefer for an interview.
B. What to wear is not a matter of personal choice for companies.
C. Companies sometimes have to change to respect their candidates.
D. Hiring managers make the best impression on their candidates.
19. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
A. Employees Matter B. Personal Choices Matter
C. Appearances Matter D. Hiring Managers Matter
20. The author’s attitude towards strange dress styles in the workplace may best be described as .
A. enthusiastic B. negative
C. positive D. sympathetic
【答案】17. C 18. B 19. C 20. B
【解析】
【分析】又是一年毕业季,很多大学毕业生又要开始为寻找一份可以赖以生存的工作而奔忙了,但是,影响就业成功的因素很多,其中有一点就是面试时的着装。

【18题详解】
推理判断题。通读第三自然段可知本文作者的意思是:员工的穿着不再是员工的私人问题,而是影响到公司的声誉和发展的大问题。选B。
【19题详解】
主旨大意题。本文讨论的主要是在求职的时候,人的外貌和穿着是很重要的,因为公司都要选择一些在形象上能够代表公司的人,故本题选C。
【20题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段There are plenty of well-qualified candidates, so it is not wrong to reject someone who might disappoint my customers.Even though I am open-minded, I can’t expect all our customers are说明作者也认为那些穿着奇怪的人是不能被选中的,说明他对这样的穿着是持否定的态度的,故选B。

47. patches
48. was diagnosed
49. have 50. the
51. would be
52. posting
53. that 54. professional
55. by
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇记叙文,讲述患白癜风的女孩Chantelle Brown改变了人们对白癜风以及美好事物的理解。
【46题详解】
考查定语从句。本题定语从句的先行词是the skin condition,关系代词which指代先行词引导非限制性定语从句并在句中做主语。关系代词that不能引导非限制性定语从句的。故填which。
【47题详解】
考查名词。名词patch小块,补丁;本句中该词的复数形式做动词develop的宾语。句意:四岁的时候她开始长出一块又一块的白色皮肤并被诊断为白癜风。故填patches。
【48题详解】
考查固定短语。短语be diagnosed with…被诊断为……;该短语在句中和started to…构成并列谓语。句意:四岁的时候她开始长出一块又一块的白色皮肤并被诊断为白癜风。主语是第三人称单数,故填was diagnosed。
【49题详解】
考查时态。本句是一个评价性的句子,所以要使用一般现在时。句意:没有人真正值得为什么有百分之一的人患上这种皮肤病。故have。
【50题详解】
考查冠词。定冠词the表示特指,不定冠词a/an表示泛指。本句中the way her skin looked特指她患上白癜风的皮肤看起来的样子。故填the。
【51题详解】
考查时态。因为被同学欺凌,她多次搬家,在16岁的时候离开了学校,在那时她决定要为自己的皮肤而骄傲。她在过去的时间决定未来要让自己对皮肤自豪,所以使用过去将来时。故填would be。
【52题详解】
考查动名词。动词短语get down to开始认真做某事;其中的to是介词,后面要接动名词做宾语,所以本句使用动名词短语posting…做宾语。故填posting。
【53题详解】
考查强调句型。强调句型的基本结构为It is/was被强调成分that/who其它成分;其最大的特点就是去掉it is/was…that/who…句子仍然成立。本句强调的是时间状语while she was doing that。横线处使用that与it was构成强调句型。故填that。
【54题详解】
考查形容词。形容词professional职业的;专业的;该词在句中作定语修饰名词name。故填professional。
【55题详解】
考查固定短语。短语little by little逐渐地;逐渐地她慢慢改变了人们对美的理解。故填by。
【点睛】本文第8小题考查了强调句型,而且该题的干扰很强。能够准确把握句子结构是关键。随着高考考点的不断深入变化,该句型总是以新的面孔出现,或本身发生变化,或与其他句式结构相结合,然而万变不离其宗,总是脱不掉it,be,that/who这一框架结构。结合近几年有关高考题的特点,将其变化形式归纳如下:强调句型的一般疑问句形式。一. 句式特征:Is/ Was it +被强调部分+ that…; 二、 结合特殊疑问词构成特殊疑问句形式。句式特征:特殊疑问词+is/was it that…? 三、 强调句型的反意疑问句形式。句式特征为:It is/was+被强调部分+that…,isn’t / wasn’t it? 四、强调句型的感叹句形式。句式特征为:what/ how … it is (that) +主语+谓语!

My father was pleasing when I showed him the money a month after. He gives me the other fifty. You can imagine how happily I was when I rode to school on my own bicycle.

4. 在father后加for
5. And→But
6. 删除school前的the
7. pleasing→pleased
8. after→later

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者在放学后去卖报纸,靠自己的努力赚钱买自行车的事情。
【详解】1.考查名词。句意:我上高中时,我的每个朋友都有一辆自行车。分析句子可知,句中涉及固定短语“each of+可数名词复数”,意为“每一个……,……中的每一个”,“friend”意为“朋友”,为可数名词,复数形式为“friends”。故将friend改为friends。
2.考查代词。句意:我希望我也能有一辆。分析句子可知,句中泛指一辆自行车,应用代词“one”,代替前面提到的同类人或物中的一个,“it”特指前文提到过的同一事物,不符合语境。故将it改为one。
3.考查定语从句。句意:一天,我看到一辆二手自行车,只要一百元。分析句子可知,句子为非限制性定语从句,先行词为“second-hand bicycle”,指物,在从句中作主语,故应用关系代词“which”引导从句。故将that改为which。
4.考查固定短语。句意:我向父亲要钱。分析句子可知,句中涉及固定短语“ask sb. for sth.”,意为“向某人要某物”,故应在father后加for。故在father后加for。
5.考查连词。句意:但他说他只能给我一半的钱。分析句子可知,上文“我向父亲要钱”和下文“他说他只能给我一半的钱”之间为转折关系,故应用连词“but”连接,表转折,句首单词首字母大写,“And”表并列,不符合语境。故将And改为But。
6.考查固定短语。句意:所以放学后我去卖报纸。分析句子可知,句中涉及固定短语“after school”,意为“放学后”,故school前的定冠词the多余。故删除school前的the。
7.考查形容词。句意:一个月后,当我把钱给父亲看时,他很高兴。分析句子可知,句子主语为“My father”,指人,应用形容词“pleased”作表语,意为“高兴的”,修饰人,“pleasing”意为“令人高兴的”,形容词词性,修饰物,不符合语境。故将pleasing改为pleased。
8.考查副词。句意:一个月后,当我把钱给父亲看时,他很高兴。分析句子可知,句中涉及固定短语“一段时间+later”,意为“一段时间之后”,“a month later”意为“一个月后”。故将after改为later。
9.考查时态。句意:他给了我另外50元。根据上下文内容可知,句子陈述的是过去发生的事,应用一般过去时,动词要用过去式,“give”的过去式为“gave”。故将gives改为gave。
10.考查形容词。句意:你可以想象,当我骑着自己的自行车去学校时,我是多么高兴。分析句子可知,句子为“how”引导的宾语从句,“how”后应用“happy”,意为“高兴的”,形容词词性,在句中作表语。故将happily改为happy。

第二部分 阅读理解(共两节,满分50分)

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
During this shopping season, salespeople will come up with different strategies to attract your business. Many product companies use specific colors to cause positive emotions and compete for sales. However, sight is not the only sensory detail that companies use. Sounds and smells can also influence consumer purchasing decisions.
Nobel Prize-winning research shows that our sense of smell has great power to cause an emotional response. A study published earlier this year compared purchasing behavior in a French flower shop when the smell of lavender was given off and when it wasn’t. It found that the smell increased the number of customers purchasing items and the amounts of their purchases. An earlier study using Nike shoes found that consumers desired the shoes more, and were willing to pay more, when the room had a mixed smell of flowers. Realizing the subconscious impact of smell, many stores apply artificial scents through their heating and air-conditioning vents or place scent machines above their doors. For instance, a coconut scent might make that bikini more appealing as you long for a vacation.
Ever felt excited due to a store’s fast-paced music? Or calmed by a piece of light music? A retailer’s choice of music can have a big impact on customer moods. One study found that when subjected to loud music, customers will spend less time in a store. But interestingly, the researchers did not find a difference in sales or customer satisfaction. Another interesting finding from a recent study was that customers actually shop longer when exposed to unfamiliar music. Just as department stores use different scents in certain departments, many use different music in some areas to appeal to various consumers.
Well, you could always leave the store and take a break, but the food court probably isn’t your best choice as brands like Cinnabon and Panera Bread also use scents as part of their customer experience. Online retailers use a variety of other strategies to get your business, but you can always ignore those and enjoy the familiar scents of home.
1. The passage is mainly about ______.
A. two factors affecting consumers’ shopping habits
B. the strategies for satisfying consumers
C. special services from super shopping malls
D. consumers’ favorite sounds and smells
2. How does music affect consumers according to the passage?
A. It controls consumers’ desire for shopping.
B. It influences how long consumers stay in a shop.
C. It gives consumers the satisfaction of enjoying the products.
D. Whether consumers are willing to purchase goods depends on it.
3. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “excited” in Paragraph 3?
A. Satisfied. B. Depressed. C. Surprised. D. Stimulated.
4. What does the writer try to express in the last paragraph?
A. Online shopping is becoming more and more popular.
B. People should spend more time at home with families.
C. People can choose to escape shops’ promotion strategies.
D. Smells and sounds are important for consumers’ shopping experience.
B
By high school, T. J. was the most famous one in his town. I met him for the first time at a weekend leadership election. When I showed up, the community leaders gave me this overview of the attending students: “We have all the students here today, from the student president to T. J. Ware, the boy with the longest arrest record in the history of town.”
At the start of the election, he was standing against the back wall. He didn’t really join the discussion groups, or didn’t seem to have much to say. But slowly, the interactive games drew him in. The ice melted when the groups started building a list of positive and negative things that had occurred at school that year. T. J. had some definite comments on those situations. All of a sudden he was being treated like a leader. He knew something about poverty, hunger and hopelessness, and everyone was listening. By the end of the election, he had joined the Homeless Project team. The other students on the team elected him co-chairman of the team.
But when T. J. showed up at school on Monday morning, he arrived to a firestorm. A group of teachers were protesting (抗议) to the school principal about his being elected co-chairman. They reminded the principal, “He’ll probably steal half the food.”
Surprisingly, two weeks later, T. J. and his friends led a group to collect food. They created a school record: 2,854 cans of food in just two hours. It was enough to fill the empty shelves in two neighborhood centers, and the food took care of needy families in the area for 75 days. The local newspaper covered the event with a full-page article the next day. The event he led now collects 9,000 cans of food in one day, taking care of 70 percent of the need for food for one year.
Maybe you’ve heard the saying, “A bird with a broken wing will never fly as high.” T. J. reminds us that a bird with a broken wing only needs mending. But once it has healed, it can fly higher than the rest.
5. What was T. J. famous for when the author first met him?
A. Collecting food. B. Making troubles.
C. Being elected co-chairman. D. Showing up at the election.
6. Which of the following is true?
A. The groups welcomed T. J.’s opinions.
B. T. J. knew little about the topics in the discussions.
C. T. J. was unwilling to collect food for needy families.

We can have conflicts with our important persons like friends, relatives, workmates, etc. But the conflicts doesn’t necessarily mean that the relationship will be destroyed. In fact, sometimes conflict helps people to let out their silent feelings, allowing them to free their suppressed emotions. However, when in a conflict, we usually get angry and say or do things which aren’t linked to the problem at hand. Therefore, it is important that we should try to avoid conflicts through effective communication.
In a heated argument, we usually say things that aren’t related to the real problem, and even use rude words to make sure we gain an advantage over the other person. Then the whole situation goes badly. So we should separate(隔离) the root cause of the problem and build our discussion around it. This ensures that there are no rude remarks and the situation moves in a positive direction.
It’s easy for us to think we’re right and if something isn’t working out, it surely must be someone else’s fault. However, if you aim to solve a conflict, first of all, you should show some respect and allow the other party to express themselves. Using remarks like, “I understand your concern on this” or “I know you’re right at your end”, would make the other person feel more appreciated.
Sometimes some people get too excited and may behave in the wrong way or say something others may not appreciate. This can cause a worse situation. Actually, they should control their emotions and keep calm. This has to be learned through self-control and observing behavior of other people.
The tips mentioned above are useful for most situations. However, we don’t rule out the possibility that there are some people always want to create some sort of trouble for others. You can tell them from others, and putting in an effort to resolve a conflict with them may just not be a wise idea. The best way to deal with these people is to forget them. A famous saying can help you and that is: “You should never fight with a pig; you both get dirty and only the pig likes it.”
9. What can we learn from Paragraph 1?
A. Conflicts may help us deal with our emotions.
B. Conflicts can improve our relations with others greatly.
C. Effective communication can help us avoid conflicts undoubtedly.
D. The closer two friends are, the more conflicts are between them.
10. When making discussions to solve conflicts, we should .
A. know others’ personal quality

C. avoid showing our disadvantages
D. avoid the root cause of the problem
11. The author suggests that when people get too excited, they should .
A. behave like other people B. control the situation
C. learn to keep their head D. say something unconcerned
12. In the author’s opinion, how should you deal with those who always want to create trouble for you?
A. Fight with them. B. Ignore them.
C. Have a talk with them. D. Give them something they like.

I’v worked part time since taking early retirement ten years ago. I was inspired by an older friend. We worked for the same company, and he retired two years before I was also considered “spare”, as some companies call it.
Soon after I left work, we had lunch together. First, he assured me that there was life after work. Then he related his own experience. He didn’t want to take another full-time job, so he turned his daughter’s old bedroom into a home office. He arranged for some consulting work from our old company, and he picked up more projects from other contacts. Soon he was working 20 to 30 hours a week. He wasn’t making as much money. His kids were grown-up, so he didn’t need as much income. “As soon as I left that job,” he told me, “my back problems went away. I started to eat better and get more exercise, I make half as much money, but I feel twice as good, and I’m twice as happy.”
I decided to follow a similar track. At the time, my younger child almost finished college, so my parental responsibilities were winding down. We sold our old house and moved into a townhouse. I went to work for myself. And the result? Today I, too, make less money. But we make ends meet. And I feel twice as good and twice as happy.
Our experience isn’t for everybody. But a lot of people have retired early and lived to tell the tale, which proves it possible. Jack, another friend, was a salesman for a communication firm. He had a long distance to work and did a lot of traveling. He decided to leave the corporate world, in part because he had health problems and he wanted to spend more time with his family. Later, he quit his job with flexible hours and was restored to his health. And now he has found a part-time job, and he, together with his family, is leading a more relaxing life.
13. How did the author and his friends feel about their retired life?
A. It’s busy but wealthy. B. It’s flexible but tiring.
C. It’s healthy and happy D. It’s relaxing and wasteful.
14. What did the writer’s friend try to tell him at lunch that day?
A. He regretted not leaving his job earlier. B. He lived a much better life after retiring
C. He made more money after finding a new job. D. His life was not easy for him after losing his job.
15. Before Jack left his last job, he ______.
A. lived a busy life B. used to find part-time jobs
C. often traveled with his family D. worked hard as a real travel agent
16. What does the author mainly confirm by writing the text?
A. Health is more important than work
B. Young people generally live an exhausting life.
C. More retired people are paying attention to health.
D. It may be a good choice for people who retire early to do a part-time job.

Spring is coming, and it is time for those about to graduate to look for jobs. Competition is tough, so job seekers must carefully consider their personal choices. Whatever we are wearing, our family and friends may accept us, but the workplace may not.
A high school newspaper editor said it is unfair for companies to discourage visible tattoos (纹身), nose rings, or certain dress styles. It is true you can’t judge a book by its cover, yet people do “cover” themselves in order to convey certain messages. What we wear, including tattoos and nose rings, is an expression of who we are. Just as people convey messages about themselves with their appearances, so do companies. Dress standards exist in the business world for a number of reasons, but the main concern is often about what customers accept.
Others may say how to dress is a matter of personal freedom, but for businesses it is more about whether to make or lose money. Most employers do care about the personal appearances of their employees, because those people represent the companies to their customers.
As a hiring manager I am paid to choose the people who would make the best impression on our customers. There are plenty of well-qualified candidates, so it is not wrong to reject someone who might disappoint my customers. Even though I am open-minded, I can’t expect all our customers are.
There is nobody to blame but yourself if your set of choices does not match that of your preferred employer. No company should have to change to satisfy a candidate simply because he or she is unwilling to respect its standards, as long as its standards are legal.
17. Which of the following is the newspaper editor’s opinion according to Paragraph 2?
A. People’s appearances carry message about themselves.
B. Customers’ choices influence dress standards in companies.
C. Candidates with tattoos or nose rings should be fairly-treated.
D. Strange dress styles should not be encouraged in the workplace.
18. What can be inferred from the text?
A. Candidates have to wear what companies prefer for an interview.
B. What to wear is not a matter of personal choice for companies.
C. Companies sometimes have to change to respect their candidates.
D. Hiring managers make the best impression on their candidates.
19. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
A. Employees Matter B. Personal Choices Matter
C. Appearances Matter D. Hiring Managers Matter
20. The author’s attitude towards strange dress styles in the workplace may best be described as .
A. enthusiastic B. negative
C. positive D. sympathetic
