A
Some people will do just about anything to save money. And I am one of them. Take my family’s last vacation. It was my six -year old son’s winter break from school, and we were heading home from Fort Lauderdale after a week long trip. The flight was overbooked, and Delta, the airline, offered us $400 per person in credits to give up our seats and leave the next day．I had meetings in New York, so I had to get back. But that didn’t mean my husband and my son couldn’t stay. I took my nine- month old and took off for home．
The next day, my husband and son were offered more credits to take an even later flight. Yes, I encouraged — okay, ordered — them to wait it out at the airport, to “earn” more Delta Dollars. Our total take: $1,600．Not bad, huh
Now some people may think I’m a bad mother and not such a great wife either. But as a big time bargain hunter, I know the value of a dollar. And these days, a good deal is something few of us can afford to pass up．
I’ve made a living looking for the best deals and exposing（揭露）the worst tricks. I have been the consumer reporter of NBC’s Today show for over a decade. I have written a couple of books including one titled Tricks of the Trade: A Consumer Survival Guide. And I really do what I believe in．
I tell you this because there is no shame in getting your money’s worth. I’m also tightfisted when it comes to shoes, clothes for my children, and expensive restaurants. But I wouldn’t hesitate to spend on a good haircut. It keeps its shape longer, and it’s the first thing people notice. And I will also spend on a classic piece of furniture. Quality lasts．

London’s newest skyscraper (摩天大楼)is called the Shard and it cost about 430 million pounds to build. At a height of almost 310 metres, it is the tallest building in Europe. The Shard has completely changed the appearance of London. However, not everyone thinks that it is a change for the better.
The Shard was designed by the famous Italian architect Renzo Piano. When he began designing the Shard for London, Piano wanted a very tall building that looked like a spire (尖顶) He wanted the glass surfaces to reflect the sky and the city. The sides of the building aren’t regular. So the building has an unusual shape. It looks like a very thin，sharp piece of broken glass. And that is how the building got the name: the Shard. Piano says that the spire shape of the Shard is part of a great London tradition. The shape reminds him of the spires of the churches of London or the tall masts (桅杆）of the ships that were once on the river Thames.
The Shard has 87 floors. At the top, there is an observatory. At the moment the building is empty, but eventually there will be a five-star hotel. There will also be top quality restaurants, apartments and offices.
Before building work began, a lot of people didn’t want the Shard though the plans were approved. Now they are still unhappy about the Shard. Some critics say that such a tall skyscraper might be good in a city like New York, but not in London. They say that the best thing about the Shard is its spire shape. But that is the only thing. There is no decoration, only flat surfaces. The Egyptians did that 4,500 years ago. They also think the Shard is too big for London. It destroys the beauty of the city.
Other critics don’t like what the Shard seems to represent. They say that the Shard shows how London is becoming more unequal. Only very rich people can afford to buy the expensive private apartments and stay in the hotel. But the people who live near the Shard are among the poorest in London. So the Shard seems a symbol of the division in society between the very rich and the poor.
The Shard now dominates the London skyline. It is not certain, however, that ordinary London citizens will ever accept it as a valuable addition to the city.
5. London’s newest skyscraper is called the Shard because of ._____
A. its cost
B. its size
C. its shape
D. its height
6. When he designed the Shard, Piano wanted it to _____
A. change London’s skyline
B. inherit London’s tradition
C. imitate the Egyptian style
D. attract potential visitors
7. The critics who refer to social division think the Shard_______ .
A. is only preferred by the rich
B is intended for wealthy people
C. is far away from the poor area
D. is popular only with Londoners
8. Which would be the best title for the passage
A. The Shard: Cheers and Claps
B. The Shard: Work of a Great Architect
C. The Shard: New Symbol of London
D. The Shard: A Change for the Better

Today the word friendship has been used so often that it has lost its meaning. Some jokingly or seriously say that friends are made to be used. It makes me very sad.
True friendship doesn’t mean that when you need your friend’s help, you will treat him to dinner, and when you have to protect yourself, you will put your friends in a difficult situation.
In fact, true friendship is the communication and understanding of the hearts.
True friendship is like pared with decent wine, water is tasteless, but is of great help when we are thirsty. True friends don’t need to be with each other every day, but are connected in heart every minute.
True friendship is like medicine. Though it is bitter, it cures your illness. True friends give you some suggestions even if they know you would not take. They criticize you when others have a good word for you, not because of envy but worrying that you may lose your cool head.
True friendship has nothing to do with fame, power or money. True friends would often watch you silently far away when you are influential, but come to you whenever you need their help. You’re not his stepping-stone to success, but are his crutch to live through difficulties.
True friends make you complete. Many persons go along with you through your life ─your parents, your husband/wife, and your children, who take care of you and make your life happy. However，, you still need someone who understands your thoughts and souls. Without them, you are likely to be unhealthy in spirit.
True friends stay in your heart, rather than at your side; they know you more than yourself, and try to better you.
9. The writer speaks of water because ______.
A. it has no taste B. it is easy to get C. it is important to our life D. it stays with us every day
10. The underlined word “influential” in Paragraph6 means “______”.
A. quiet B. busy C. helpful D. powerful
11. According to the passage, true friends may help you ______.
A. enjoy mental health B. achieve your success C. understand them better D. live a happy life
12. Which of the following sentences is TRUE
A. True friends need to be with each other every day.
B. True friendship is like medicine, and it can cure your illness.
C. True friendship has something to do with fame，power or money.
D. True friendship means that when you need your friend’s help，you will treat him to dinner.

【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段The sides of the building aren’t regular. So the building has an unusual shape. It looks like a very thin，sharp piece of broken glass. And that is how the building got the name: the Shard.可知, 这座建筑的侧面不规则。所以这座建筑有一个不寻常的形状。它看起来像一块非常薄、锋利的碎玻璃。这就是这座建筑得名的原因。所以正是因为它的外形新的摩天大楼才被称作为“the Shard”。故选C项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Piano says that the spire shape of the Shard is part of a great London tradition ”可知Piano说，Shard的尖顶形状是伦敦伟大传统的一部分。所以当Piano设计Shard时，Piano希望它能继承伦敦的传统，故选B项。

【8题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段However, not everyone thinks that it is a change for the better 可知文章是在探究与阐述对新的摩天大楼所带来的变化究竟是怎样的，故利用这样的话题作为标题很鲜明直接，所以短文的最佳标题为“碎片大厦：更好的改变？”故D正确。

【答案】28. of 29. different
30. movements
31. but 32. was
33. to like
34 that 35. greatly
36. doing 37. yourself
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。作者是一个急脾气，为了学习太极，不得不学会有耐心，但是学会了太极却给了作者很多好处。通过这次经历作者明白了一个道理：我们不擅长的东西会使我们获益良多。
【28题详解】
考查固定短语。句意：你害怕你认为自己不擅长的事情吗？短语be afraid of表示害怕，故填of。
【29题详解】
考查形容词。句意：我觉得学太极拳很难，与我以前学的很不同。根据句意可知，这里应该用difference的形容词形式充当宾语补足语，故填different。
【30题详解】
考查名词复数。句意：在太极拳中，很小的动作都很重要的。形容词修饰名词，再根据后面的谓语动词are，可知此处用名词的复数形式，故填movements。
【31题详解】
考查连词。句意：我过去习惯于快和活跃，但现在为了学会胎记，我却要学习耐心。根据分析可知，空格前后的内容含有转折关系，应该填上一个表示转折关系的连词but，故填but。

【34题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：我不擅长于与保持平衡有关事情。此处anything做先行词，是不定代词，在后面的定语从句中做主语，用关系代词that，故答案为that。
【35题详解】
考查副词。此处是副词修饰动词作状语，故用greatly修饰improved。故答案为greatly。
36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。固定结构：keep doing sth.一直做某事，故答案为doing。
【37题详解】
考查代词。句意：挑战你自己。主语与宾语指同一事物，宾语用反身代词yourself。故填yourself。

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
All the best!
Yours,
Li Hua
【答案】Dear Li Ming，
I'm sorry to hear that you have some difficulty in learning English. I've got some advice on how to make it. As we all know, English is very important. It is one of the most widely used languages in our daily life. Having a good command of it, we can communicate with people from all over the world.
To learn English well, first of all, I suggest you (should) read the English words, sentences and short articles aloud every morning. Meanwhile, you should try to memorize the useful sentences as many as possible and recite some short passages as well. Moreover, it is suggested that you (should) read a great variety of books after school. Last but not least, a certain amount of time should be spent on listening exercises.
As long as you can make good use of your spare time to learn English, surely, you will make rapid progress. Just as the saying goes, “Where there is a will, there is a way.” If you stick to your dream and study hard, I'm sure you will be successful in your English study.
All the best!
Yours,
LiHua
