Traditional stores ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )can also deliver goods more quickly than online retailers(零售商). And smart businessmen are using stores to guide customers to websites and using their websites to encourage customers to visit their stores.

The hurricane left ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) cities in ruins，streets flooded，homes damaged，millons of households without power. According to IHS Global Insight，a forecasting firm，the superstorm will end up causing about 50 billion US dollars in business losses.
Local media report ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s show that the storm has caused power fails affecting some 7 million homes, shut down 70 percent of East Coast oil refineries (炼油厂) and caused worse than expected damage in the New York subway area，which produces about 10 percent of US economic output.
More than 18,000 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )flight cancellations have been reported across the United States in the consequence of the hurricane.

US President ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) Barack Obama on Tuesday declared “a major disaster” in the states of New Jersey and New York，ordering federal aid to help with state and local recovery from Sandy.

Ⅴ.阅读理解
(2013·潍坊市高考模拟)Whe ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )never anyone measures educational success，East Asian countries are always top scorers. But in a recent league table，a European country，Finland，was top of the class. South Korea was still in second place，though. Britain was at number 6.
In Korea the school ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) day is long—typically 7 or 8 hours，followed by hours of private tutoring in the evenings. All_this_hothousing leaves Korean students so tired，they sometimes fall asleep in class next day. Worries about the effects of late night cramming(填鸭式)led the government to force cramming schools to close by 10 p．m.. Finnish children spend the least time in class in the developed world，often finishing just after lunch，with about one hour of homework a day. Private tuition is uncommon. The British and American school day is quite long in comparison，around 6 hours，and secondary school pupils do 2 or 3 hours of self study a night.
The Korean educa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tion system，like many in Asia，is intensely competitive，with students even competing to get into the best cramming schools，to help them get ahead. Finnish education is far less cut throat. Classes are all mixed ability，and there are no league tables. British schools again occupy the middle ground，with quite high levels of competition for places at university，and schools and universities battling to come top of league tables for everything from exam results to student satisfaction. Korea and Finland both do well，yet their education systems are so different.
However，there are ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )some similarities in Korea and Finland. In those countries，teachers have high status in society，and education is very highly valued. Those attitudes can't change quickly. But it can be done. They might be the star pupils now，but until the 1970s，Finland's educational system was poor. Their thoroughly different approach to schooling has taken them to the top in just a generation.
1．The students spend the least time in school in __________.

A．private evening tutoring B．self study at home
C．long hour study D．school study
[解析] 猜测词义题、由上一句的白天上学时间及晚上私人辅导时间可知划线部分意思是长时间的学习(long hour study)。
[答案] C
4．From Paragragh 3，we can know that __________.
A．Finnish students are less stressed in study
B．there're also many cramming schools in Britain
C．students in Korea are the most competitive in Asia
D．British schools are less competitive than universities

At first，the earth' ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s surface layer was made up of huge blocks of hard，solid rock.Then slowly，the rock broke up into smaller pieces.Finally stones，pebbles(砾石)and grains of sand were formed.Many sorts of plants and animals lived and died on the surface of the earth.Their remains mixed with the stones，pebbles and formed soil.____2____
There are many ways ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) in which large pieces of rock break up into smaller ones.____3____
When winds blow grai ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ns of sand against a large piece of rock for a long time，the softer layers of the rock are slowly worn away.This leaves holes and cracks(裂缝)in the rock，which become bigger and finally the rock breaks up into smaller pieces.
The moving water of st ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )reams and rivers also helps to break up the rock.As the water moves along，it carries with small pieces of rock.These rub the larger ones.Thus，the larger pieces of rock are worn down to smaller pieces.
The heat of the su ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n is also helpful in breaking up the rock.When the sun shines，the rock becomes very hot.____4____
Ice also plays a pa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rt in making soil.____5____As this happens，the cracks become wider，and finally the rock breaks up into smaller pieces.

Ⅵ.阅读理解
(2013·江西红色六校第二次联考)
Use More Facial Expression
One psychologist feel ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s that our facial expression is responsible more than anything else for the impression others have of us. In fact，more than 50 percent of another's impression，he believes，is influenced by the look on your face. Naturally a smile in which the eyes participate is extremely communicative. An unfriendly look often brings the same thing in return. People tend to mirror your expression，so try to show how you feel about a topic or an idea or the audience through your facial expression.21教育网
Rid Your Inner Fear
It's natural to have ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )some tension or nervousness when you appear before an audience. The way to handle it is to put it to work for you，get into action，as Shakespeare observed，action cures fear. There are only a few known ways to control fear. The first is to admit it，do the thing you fear and it will be the death of fear itself. Another simple aid at the last minute before you begin，is to take a few deep breaths，which will help keep your voice under control. In fact，if you're thoroughly prepared，just taking a few deep breaths before you're introduced will give you added confidence and balance. Other known ways to control nervousness and fear are to give yourself an encouraging talk or take some physical exercise.
Polish Your Voice
Our voice is the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) main instrument we possess for communicating with people. We all sound sensitive. So invest in a tape recorder，practice your speech by speaking it into the microphone and then listen to it.You can even have others join in the evaluation of your strong points and your weaknesses or faults as well. Remember that Demosthenes and Winston Churchill both used pebbles in their mouths while practicing their speaking. Simply reading out loud can also help you improve your voice and develop a personal style.www-2-1-cnjy-com
Strengthen Your Memory
Psychologists tell us ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) that most individuals don't use above ten percent of their natural capacity for memory，that's comparable to trying to run a car on one cylinder(汽缸)．Why do most people use so little of their power of memory Because they don't practise the fundamentals of remembering. First and most important，it's necessary to have a burning desire to remember；it's difficult to recall anything without wanting to do so. Step two is concentration. Henry Ward Beecher once observed，one hour of intense concentration can accomplish more than years of dreaming. The next principle is repetition. We learned many things in school by repetition. When you hear a name for the first time，repeat it，spell it，write it down and review it. You'll soon know it by heart.2-1-c-n-j-y
1．Why should you polish your voice
A．Because it can develop a personal voice.

A．By having a desire to remember，concentrate and repeat.
B．By practicing the fundamentals of remembering.
C．By writing down what we want to remember.
D．By repeating，spelling and reviewing it.
