A. either B. any
C．each D. another
21．A　考查代词。句意：我在纽约和芝加哥都住过，但是两个地方我都不喜欢。either指两者，与not连用，表示“两个都不”；any“任何”，指三者或三者以上；each“每一个”，指三者或三者以上；another“另一个”。从句中的纽约和芝加哥可知是两个地方。故选A。

A. 不填；a B. a; the
C. the; a D. the; 不填
22．B　考查冠词。句意：这是一个寒冷的冬天的夜晚，明亮的月光划过夜空。a cold winter night“一个寒冷的冬天的夜晚”，表示泛指；sky要用定冠词修饰。故选B。

A. Don't mention it B. That's all right
C．I have no idea D. Go ahead
23．C　考查交际用语。从句中的“I've never tried.”可知，从来没有试过，肯定是不知道的。Don't mention it别提了；That's all right不必客气，没关系；I have no idea不知道；Go ahead走在前面，进行。句意：——不停地跑你能跑多远？——不知道。我从来没有试过。
24． I didn't think I'd like the movie, but actually it ________ pretty good.
A．has been B. was
C．had been D．would be

25． The room is empty except for a bookshelf ________ in one corner.
A．standing B. to stand
C. stands D. stood
25．A　考查非谓语动词。句子中已经有谓语is，bookshelf与stand是主动的关系，故用现在分词作定语，修饰bookshelf。句意：除了一个书架立在墙角，这间屋子空空的。
26．Mark needs to learn Chinese ________his company is opening a branch in Beijing.
A. unless B. until
C．although D. since
26．D　考查状语从句的连接词。his company is opening a branch in Beijing是学习汉语的原因。unless除非；until直到……为止；although尽管；since由于，自从。在句中since是“由于”的意思。句意：马克需要学习汉语，因为他的公司要在北京开一个分公司。

27．C　考查动词时态。从句中说“我们太晚了”可知，“火车已经走了”，再从答语“没关系。我们乘坐去伦敦的下一趟火车”看，指火车现在已经走了，故用现在完成时。
28． ________ I have to give a speech, I get extremely nervous before I start.
A. Whatever B. Whenever
C. Whoever D. However
28．B　考查让步状语从句。I have to give a speech句中有主语、谓语和宾语，故不能选whatever和whoever，又因however后面跟副词或形容词，故选whenever。句意：不论什么时候我演讲，在开始之前我都特别紧张。
29． I stopped the car ________ a short break as I was feeling tired.
A. take B. taking
C. to take D. taken
29．C　考查非谓语动词。“我”停下车的目的是想休息一下。to take a short break是不定式短语作目的状语。句意：我停下车休息一下，因为我感到累了。
30． It's good to know ________ the dogs will be well cared for while we're away.
A. what B. whose
C. which D. that
30．D　考查名词性从句。句中的it是形式主语，________ the dogs will be well cared for while we're away是真正的主语，故用引导词that。句意：我们不在的时候这些狗会被照顾得很好，知道这些我们很高兴。

33． ________ at the cafeteria before, Tina didn't want to eat there again.
A. Having eaten B. To eat
C. Eat D. Eating
33．A　考查非谓语动词。从句中的again可知，Tina已经在这家自助餐馆吃过饭，再根据句中的before可知，空格中这个动作要发生在didn't want之前，eat与Tina是主动的关系，故用现在分词的完成式。句意：Tina以前在这家自助餐馆吃过饭，她不想再在那里吃了。
34． The Smiths are praised ________ the way they bring up their children.
A. from B. by
C. at D．for

“Sorry I had to keep you waiting, but I was pretty sure I made the right decision to have you as part of our workforce before you even stepped into this office.

George Gershwin, born in 1898, was one of America's greatest composers. He published his first song when he was eighteen years old. During the next twenty years he wrote more than five hundred songs.
Many of Gershwin's songs were first written for musical plays performed in theatres in New York City. These plays were a popular form of entertainment in the 1920s and 1930s. Many of his songs have remained popular as ever. Over the years they have been sung and played in every possible way — from jazz to country.
In the 1920s there was a debate in the United States about jazz music. Could jazz, some people asked, be considered serious music? In 1924 jazz musician and orchestra leader Paul Whiteman decided to organize a special concert to show that jazz was serious music. Gershwin agreed to compose something for the concert before he realized he had just a few weeks to do it. And in that short time, he composed a piece for piano and orchestra which he called Rhapsody in Blue. Gershwin himself played the piano at the concert. The audience were thrilled when they heard his music. It made him world-famous and showed that jazz music could be both serious and popular.
In 1928, Gershwin went to Paris. He applied to study composition (作曲)with the well-known musician Nadia Boulanger, but she rejected him. She was afraid that classical study would ruin his jazz-influenced style. While there, Gershwin wrote An American in Paris. When it was first performed, critics (评论家)were divided over the music. Some called it happy and full of life, to others it was silly and boring. But it quickly became popular in Europe and the United States. It still remains one of his most famous works.
George Gershwin died in 1937, just days after doctors learned he had brain cancer. He was only thirty-nine years old. Newspapers all over the world reported his death on their front pages. People mourned the loss of the man and all the music he might have still written.
61．Many of Gershwin's musical works were ________．
A．written about New Yorkers

You can't always predict a heavy rain or remember your umbrella. But designer Mikhail Belyaev doesn't think that forgetting to check the weather forecast before heading out should result in you getting wet. That's why he created Lampbrella, a lamp post with its own rain-sensing umbrella.
The designer says he came up with the idea after watching people get wet on streets in Russia. “Once, I was driving on a central Saint Petersburg street and saw the street lamps lighting up people trying to hide from the rain. I thought it would be appropriate to have a canopy(伞篷)built into a street lamp，” he said.
The Lampbrella is a standard-looking street lamp fitted with an umbrella canopy. It has a built-in electric motor which can open or close the umbrella on demand. Sensors(传感器)then ensure that the umbrella offers pedestrians shelter whenever it starts raining.
In addition to the rain sensor, there's also a 360° motion sensor on the fiberglass street lamp which detects whether anyone is using the Lampbrella.After three minutes of not being used the canopy is closed.
According to the designer, the Lampbrella would move at a relatively low speed, so as not to cause harm to the pedestrians. Besides, it would be grounded to protect from possible lightning strike. Each Lampbrella would offer enough shelter for several people. Being installed(安装) at 2 meters off the ground, it would only be a danger for the tallest of pedestrians.
While there are no plans to take the Lampbrella into production, Belyaev says he recently introduced his creation to one Moscow Department, and insists his creation could be installed on any street where a lot of people walk but there are no canopies to provide shelter.
66. For what purpose did Belyaev create the Lampbrella?
A. To predict a heavy rain.
B. To check the weather forecast.
C. To protect people from the rain.
D. To remind people to take an umbrella.
67．What do we know from Belyaev's words in Paragraph 2?
A. His creation was inspired by an experience.
B. It rains a lot in the city of Saint Petersburg.
C. Street lamps are protected by canopies.
D. He enjoyed taking walks in the rain.
68．Which of the following shows how the Lampbrella works?
A. motor→canopy→sensors
B. sensors→motor→canopy
C. motor→sensors→canopy
D. canopy→motor→sensors
69．What does Paragraph 5 mainly tell us about the Lampbrella?
A. Its moving speed. B. Its appearance.
C. Its installation. D. Its safety.
70．What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. The designer will open a company to promote his product.
B. The Lampbrella could be put into immediate production.
C. The designer is confident that his creation is practical.
D. The Lampbrella would be put on show in Moscow.
【要点综述】 这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍设计师Mikhail Belyaev设计的Lampbrella，它能给街道上的人们遮雨。虽然这一设计还没有实施，但是Mikhail Belyaev却对自己的设计很自信。
66．C　考查细节理解。从第一段的“But designer Mikhail Belyaev doesn't think that forgetting to check the weather forecast before heading out should result in you getting wet. That's why he created Lampbrella…”可知Mikhail Belyaev设计Lampbrella是为了给街道上的人们遮雨的。
67．A　考查推理判断。从Mikhail Belyaev 说的话“I was driving…and saw the street lamps lighting up people trying to hide from the rain. I thought it would be appropriate to have a canopy built into a street lamp.”可知，他的创意灵感来自他的一次生活体验。故选A。
68．B　考查细节理解。从第三段的内容可找到答案，Lampbrella工作的过程是先通过传感器(sensors)，传到发动机(motor)，再到伞篷(canopy)打开。故选B。
69．D　考查主旨大意。从本段的“so as not to cause harm to the pedestrians”和“Being installed at 2 meters off the ground, it would only be a danger for the tallest of pedestrians”可知该段是讲Lampbrella的安全性。
70．C　考查推理判断。从本段Mikhail Belyaev说的话看出他对自己的设计很自信。故选C。

Sparrow is a fast-food chain with 200 restaurants. Some years ago, the group to which Sparrow belonged was taken over by another company. Although Sparrow showed no sign of declining, the chain was generally in an unhealthy state. With more and more fast-food concepts reaching the market, the Sparrow menu had to struggle for attention. And to make matters worse, its new owner had no plans to give it the funds it required.
Sparrow failed to grow for another two years, until a new CEO, Carl Pearson, decided to build up its market share. He did a survey, which showed that consumers who already used Sparrow restaurants were extremely positive about the chain, while customers of other fast-food chains were unwilling to turn away from them. Sparrow had to develop a new promotional campaign.
Pearson faced a battle over the future of the Sparrow brand. The chain's owner now favored rebranding Sparrow as Marcy's restaurants. Pearson resisted, arguing for an advertising campaign designed to convince customers that visits to Sparrow restaurants were fun. Such an attempt to establish a positive relationship between a company and the general public was unusual for that time. Pearson strongly believed that numbers were the key to success, rather than customers' spending power. Finally, the owner accepted his idea.
The campaign itself changed the traditional advertising style of the fast-food industry. The TV ads of Sparrow focused on entertainment and featured original songs performed by a variety of stars. Instead of showing the superiority of a specific product, the intension was to put Sparrow in the hearts of potential customers.
Pearson also made other decisions which he believed would contribute to the new Sparrow image. For example, he offered to lower the rent of any restaurants which achieved a certain increase in their turnover (营业额)．
These efforts paid off, and Sparrow soon became one of the most successful fast-food chains in the regions where it operated.
71．Which was one of the problems Sparrow faced before Pearson became CEO?
A. The number of its customers was declining.
B. Its customers found the food unhealthy.
C. It was in need of financial support.
D. Most of its restaurants were closed.
72．What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A．Customers of Sparrow restaurants.
B．Sparrow restaurants.
C．Customers of other fast-food chains.
D．Other fast-food chains.
73．For what purpose did Pearson start the advertising campaign?
A．To build a good relationship with the public.
B．To stress the unusual tradition of Sparrow.
C．To learn about customers' spending power.
D．To meet the challenge from Marcy's restaurants.
74．The TV ads of Sparrow ________．
A．changed people's views on pop stars
B．amused the public with original songs
C．focused on the superiority of its products
D．influenced the eating habits of the audience
75．What was Pearson's achievement as a CEO?
A．He managed to pay off Sparrow's debts.
B．He made Sparrow much more competitive.
C．He helped Sparrow take over a company.
D．He improved the welfare of Sparrow employees.

One possible version：
Dear Tom，
How are you doing? You asked me in your last letter about my plan for the coming summer vacation. I am sorry that I didn't reply without delay.How I wish I would read and reply your email as soon as I received it. However, I was busy preparing for my final exam at that time, which is vital for me. As a result, I had no choice but to completely focus on my study, for which I am very sorry. I hope you can understand me.
During the holiday, I am going to do a part-time job. On the one hand, I can earn some money to reduce the burden of my family. On the other hand, I can accumulate the social experience, which does good to my future life. At the same time, I will not forget to go over my lesson. I will spend an instructive holiday. How will you spend your holiday? I hope you have a good time.
These are my plans for the summer vacation. What's yours? I am looking forward to your earliest reply.
Best wishes!
Yours，
