Public bookshelves are appearing across Germany on street corners, city squares and in suburban supermarkets. In these free for all libraries, people can grab whatever they want to read, and leave behind anything they want for others. There’s no need to register, no due date, and you can take or give as many as you want.“This project is aimed at everyone who likes to read. It is open for everybody，” Michael Aubermann, one of the organizers of the free book exchange said.
The western city’s latest public shelf was put up next to Bayenturm. It is the fourth free shelf that Aubermann’s group, the Cologne Citizen’s Foundation, has placed outside. “We set up our other outdoor shelves last year and it’s been working really well，” said Aubermann. The public bookshelves, which are usually financed by donations and cared for by local volunteer groups, have appeared independently of each other in many cities, suburbs and villages. Each shelf holds around 200 books and it takes about six weeks for a complete turnover，with all the old titles replaced by new ones.
Even commercial book stores and online book sellers seem to support the idea of free book exchanges. “We see this project rather as a sales promotion than as competition，” said Elmar Muether. “If books are present everywhere, it helps our business, too.”
So far, the Cologne book group has had few problems with damage or other problems. Aubermann said, “Propaganda (宣传) is the only kind of literature we do not allow here.”
At another bookshelf in the Bayenthal neighborhood, the lower shelves are reserved for children’s literature only. “It is important that we make it easy for everyone to participate in this ‘reading culture on the street’ — from old readers to kids to immigrants, ” Aubermann said.
While most of the shelves have so far been put up in upscale_neighborhoods,_Aubermann and the 20 volunteers who help look after the project are planning to put up future shelves in poor neighborhoods, where citizens often don’t have as much access to literature.

B．People can’t borrow books unless they donate books.
C．People can borrow whatever they like after registering.

解析：选A 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“people can grab whatever they want to read, and leave behind anything they want for others. There’s no need to register, no due date, and you can take or give as many as you want.”可知，人们可以随意取阅或捐赠图书，不需要登记，也没有规定的还书时间。
2．According to Aubermann, the public bookshelves ________.
A．are financed by local volunteers
B．have been going well since their birth
C．were managed by the local government
D．will hold more books and take a shorter turnover
解析：选B 细节理解题。由第二段中的“We set up our other outdoor shelves last year and it’s been working really well”可知，公共书架自诞生以来运行良好。根据第二段第四句话可知A项错误，C、D两项文中没有信息支持。
3．The underlined phrase “upscale neighborhoods” refers to ________.
A．communities that have many people
B．communities that have many tall buildings
C．communities that are free to live in

Life can sometimes seem like an endless series of exhibitions. For those of us involved in the art world, there are times when we’re constantly visiting gallery (画廊) after gallery, taking in as much as possible and getting to know the works of artists from far and wide. But there are some artists whose works consistently stand out. Some artists’ works stay in the thought and heart of an audience long after the show is over. I’ve noticed over the years that these are often the artists who have understood fully the skill of telling the story behind their art. These artists aren’t just selling paintings — they’re selling an experience.
Roxanna Kibsey is one of these artists. Her paintings are often exact description of frozen tundra (冻原) or autumn trees — so bright that they could nearly burn a hole in the canvas. When I met her at an exhibition she couldn’t wait to tell me about the place in her paintings. “Where I grew up we had nine months of winter every year. It’s really quite a tough place，” she said. She relived a part of her childhood when we chatted in front of her painting. The image brought to my mind memories of driving through the snow covered countryside during my own first winter in Canada. I could almost hear the crunching ice under my feet as she described to me the countryside she grew up in.
Businessmen may have their elevator_pitch,_but artists, too, need their 30 second story which rolls freely off the tongue. That’s why it’s so important that for each piece you might be exhibiting, you can conjure up (唤起) a story behind it, and tell that story to your audience in a way that helps them connect with your work, and makes them want to buy a piece.
语篇解读：作者通过自己跟一位画家的接触以及对她作品的描述来告诉我们什么样的画家才会打动我们，感染我们。
5．What kind of artists does the author like
A．Those who have great skills.
B．Those who have held many exhibitions.
C．Those who paint scenes of their own home towns.
D．Those who tell their experience through their paintings.
解析：选D 细节理解题。由第一段中的“These artists aren’t just selling paintings — they’re selling an experience.”可知，作者认为能够打动观众、给观众留下深刻印象的是那些能够通过自己的画作描述自己的经历的画家。
6．Through Roxanna Kibsey’s painting, the author ________.
A．had a beautiful imagination
B．thought of a serious question
C．brought back his own memory
D．thought of his own home town
解析：选C 细节理解题。由第二段最后两句可知，作者看着Roxanna Kibsey的画作，听着她的讲述，不禁联想到自己第一次在加拿大过冬时的情景。
7．We can learn from Paragraph 2 that ________.
A．Kibsey’s work reflects her own life
B．Kibsey had an unhappy childhood
C．Kibsey doesn’t like her home town
D．Kibsey’s home town is beautiful in winter
解析：选A 推理判断题。由第二段可知，Roxanna Kibsey的画作描述了画家家乡冬天一片肃杀的景象，反映了她的童年生活。
8．What does the underlined part “elevator pitch” probably refer to
A．A sales introduction.
B．A wise choice.
C．A small mistake.
D．A modern tool.
解析：选A 词义猜测题。分析最后一段，商人的“elevator pitch”就等同于画家的“30 second story”，是一种“产品推介”，用来吸引买家。

For two years, Debbie followed this routine.Supermom had become a struggling writer and she was loving every minute of it.
One night, however, her husband, said to her, “Honey, I’m sorry, but you’re not bringing in any income. We can’t do this anymore. We can’t survive on just what I make.”
That night, her heart broken and her mind too busy to let her sleep.She stared at the ceiling in their darkened bedroom.Debbie knew — with all of the responsibilities of keeping up a house and looking after four kids — that working 40 hours a week would leave her no time to write.
Seeing her despair, her husband woke up and asked, “What’s wrong？”

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。
Lorena parted the curtain in her living room and looked out onto the wet street. She was relieved the sunlight appeared. If it didn’t stop raining it would ruin her day. Her mother had promised to drive her to Fashion Fair if it were sunny. Lorena was desperate to go there because she had to replace a Nike jacket.
Earlier that Wednesday afternoon, Eddie, the most popular seventh grader, had given Lorena his jacket and asked her to keep an eye as he would play basketball in a hurry. Lorena was quite happy to be of help.
During her last class, the biology teacher made them cut apart dead frogs. For fear of getting blood on Eddie’s jacket, Lorena folded it and placed it on a chair. Then she took the knife and cut the skin quickly. She felt sick opening the frog’s belly.
When the bell rang Lorena hurried out because the bus she caught for home would leave ten minutes after school. She raced to board the bus and found a seat. After a few minutes the driver started the engine and drove away when Lorena looked out of the window and saw Eddie. “The jacket！” she screamed. She shot from her seat and ran up to the driver. “You’ve got to stop! I forgot Eddie’s jacket！” “Who’s Eddie I don’t know Eddie, ” the driver said crossly. “Sit down.”
All that evening she was upset and blamed her biology teacher for her problem. If he hadn’t made them dissect (解剖) frogs, she wouldn’t have been so absent minded. The next day Lorena rushed from the bus to the biology room. The jacket was not there!
“How can I ever tell Eddie？” she thought, closing her eyes. She spent most of her break and lunch period in the rest room, brushing her hair and worrying. On Friday she stayed home to avoid Eddie. She told her mother she wanted to go shopping to buy her a gift for her birthday, which was the next week. Actually, she wanted to buy a Nike jacket with her life savings at Fashion Fair.
Paragraph 1：
Mom drove Lorena to Fashion Fair and left, asking her not to waste money.
Paragraph 2：
Lorena was about to leave when she saw Eddie in his Nike jacket.
参考范文：
Paragraph 1：
Mom drove Lorena to Fashion Fair and left, asking her not to waste money. Waving goodbye to mom, Lorena ran for a Nike store. Entering the door, she had a quick glance around. Her heart sank when she found nothing familiar in sight. Still, she combed every corner of the store for the jacket she wanted but in vain. Finally, she turned to the assistant for help. Knowing what Lorena wanted, the assistant promised to place an order for her, saying it should be ready two days later. Overjoyed, Lorena paid the advance.
Paragraph 2：
Lorena was about to leave when she saw Eddie in his Nike jacket. Instantly her eyes met his, Eddie cast his eyes away. Then Lorena found a beautiful girl standing beside him, talking merrily with her hand in his. Mind blank, Lorena made her way to the bus stop, forgetting all about the gift for her mom and asking Eddie why the jacket found its way back on him now. Eventually when her consciousness came back, she wondered what she should do next.PAGE

There’s a saint(圣人) of animals. A saint of lost things. And now there’s even a saint of computer geeks (电脑怪客). But have you ever heard of Amma, the saint of hugs
Okay, so she hasn’t made it into the Catholic Church’s list yet, but we firmly believe that Mata Amritanandamayi, an Indian woman known as Amma, is as canon worthy as anyone we’ve ever heard of. For over 30 years, Amma has been traveling the globe, giving hugs to everyone she meets, asking nothing in return. Though she considers herself spiritual, she does not advocate any particular religion — her message is love, pure and simple.
Sure, this may sound a lot like that Free Hugs guy in Australia, but we have a feeling he probably swiped his idea from Amma in the first place. After all, no matter how many hugs he’s given in the last few years, he’ll have a long way to go if he wants to catch up to her — to date，Amma has given over 26 million hugs, or “darshan”， as she calls the experience.
So why does she do it As Amma told BBC News, “Love is a very special, very uplifting feeling. That’s what I’m trying to give people. It’s like visiting a perfume factory. Consciously or unconsciously you will carry that fragrance (芬芳) around with you.”
Amma has built a worldwide network of followers who can’t get enough of her hugs. One fan flew all the way across the globe from Australia to London to meet with her, and waited with hundreds of others to experience the pure joy of darshan. In each city she visits, Amma doles out (发放) hugs all day long, often until as late as two or three in the morning, until everyone’s gotten a turn.
Though Amma receives no money for the experience，she is the founder of a charity called Mata Amritanan damayi Math. Many of her followers contribute money to the organization in appreciation of Amma’s hugs. With those funds, the organization has built more than 36,000 houses. Or should we call them the houses that hugs built
语篇解读：本文是人物故事。一个印度妇女足迹遍及全球，她的目的是给自己遇见的每个人一个拥抱，以此来传递真爱。
1．Amma gives hugs to everyone she meets in order to ________.
A．spread the message of love
B．advocate a particular religion
C．raise money to build houses
D．become familiar with her followers
解析：选A 细节理解题。由文章第二段最后一句可知， Amma的目的是为了传播爱，并非出于宗教目的。
2．What do we know about the Free Hugs guy in Australia
A．He must be more famous than Amma.
B．He does the same thing as Amma.
C．He flew all the way from Australia to London to meet with Amma.
D．He has given over 26 million hugs.
解析：选B 推理判断题。由文章第三段对澳大利亚Free Hugs guy的介绍可知，他也是给人们拥抱。
3．In what way are giving hugs and visiting a perfume factory similar, according to Amma
A．They both spread something beautiful.
B．They are both very simple acts.
C．They are both some conscious or unconscious.
D．They both leave a lasting impression.
解析：选A 推理判断题。文章第四段Amma说，参观香水制造厂你有意无意中都会带着芬芳，而你给人拥抱时也传播了爱，两者都能给人带来美好的东西。
4．What would be the best title for the passage
A．A Canon worthy Woman
B．A Special Charity
C．Everyone Wants a Hug
D．The Saint of Hugs
解析：选D 标题归纳题。Amma足迹遍及全球，给人拥抱，她不愧是拥抱使者。用文章第一段的话作为文章的主旨最恰当。

When it comes to eating habits, China is a country we must mention.Unlike in the West, __1__ everyone has their own plate of food, in China the dishes __2__(place) on the table and everybody shares. If you __3__(treat) by a Chinese host, be prepared for a ton of food.

1．where 考查定语从句。空处是关系副词，引导定语从句，修饰先行词the West，同时在从句中作地点状语。
2．are placed 考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。句子讲述的是客观情况，要用一般现在时；主语the dishes与动词place之间是被动关系，应用被动语态；分析句子结构可知，主语为the dishes，故谓语动词用are。
3．are being treated 考查动词的时态和语态。主语you和谓语动词treat之间构成被动关系，故应该使用被动语态；此处使用现在进行时，生动的表现出了中国主人招待客人的热情。
4．left 考查with复合结构。空处作宾语the food的补足语，并且the food与leave之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，所以要用过去分词。
5．to 考查介词。be polite/impolite to sb.是固定短语，意思是“对某人礼貌/不礼貌”。
6．the 考查冠词。“fan”是汉字里表示“翻过来”的意思。此处表示特指，故要用定冠词the。
7．fishermen 考查名词复数。fisherman为可数名词，且其前无限定词修饰，故空处应用名词的复数形式。
8．separation 考查名词。空处前面有定冠词the修饰，再结合空后的of可知，空处应填名词。
9．extremely 考查副词。空处修饰后面的形容词useful，作状语，要用副词。
10．eastern 考查形容词。空处作定语，修饰后面的名词country，表示“东方的”，所以要用eastern。
