With more and more people swimming at beaches every year, the problem of sharks takes on new importance. There are people who still insist that sharks never attack human beings unless they are bleeding or wounded, but this thought has not been clearly proved. In the past few years, on both the Atlantic and Pacific coasts, there have been cases of shark attacks which resulted in death. And just how many of the swimmers who have disappeared were victims of shark attacks will never be known. Clearly, these violent fish can be dangerous. Several species are known to attack human beings, and it is believed by some experts that certain sharks, once having tasted human blood, develop a taste for it.
The chances that one will come across a shark are small, but certain measures should be taken by everyone. Putting hands or legs over the side of a boat in warm water is to be avoided. Swimming far out from beaches is inviting trouble. No swimmer should go great distances from shore alone, or go into the water when nobody else is about. Skin divers, particularly those who go deep down in the water or among rocks and ledges(暗礁) that serve as hiding places for sharks, are taking unnecessary risks.
If one is in a boat that is rubbed against by a shark, he should remember the creature is not trying to upset his boat; it is probably trying to rub off sea lice (海虱). A beat, especially on the nose, will scare it away. If a swimmer comes across a shark, he should swim away as quietly as possible, trying to avoid making it angry. He should also head for shore (岸) as quickly as possible.
4. What should be done if a shark rubs against your boat
A. Stir up the water. B. Shout and scream.
C. Kick the shark. D. Hit it on the nose.
5. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 1 mean
A. Certain sharks will become interested in human blood when they have tasted it.
B. Certain sharks will hate human blood again after they have tasted it.
C. Certain sharks will taste human blood every day after they have tasted it.
D. Certain sharks will lose sense of taste when they have tasted human blood.
6. Where do sharks sometimes hide themselves
A. Places with sea lice in water. B. Somewhere near the beaches.
C. Among the rocks and ledges. D. It isn’t mentioned in the passage.
7. Which of the following is true according to the passage
A. Some people don’t think sharks will attack human .
B. It’s impossible for swimmers to run into sharks.
C. Swimmers should be very careful about sharks.

Nearly everyone would agree that it is very hard to let go of anger after you have been hurt by someone. However, research shows that forgiveness is good for your health. It can give you more energy, help you sleep better. According to Dr Frederic Luskin, author of the book Forgive for Good, people who are able to forgive are less angry and more hopeful. “It can reduce the wear and tear on our bodies,” says Dr Luskin, “and allow people to feel more energetic.”
You are probably asking yourself, “How is it possible to forgive ” It is not easy, but here are some suggestions to try. When you have been hurt, first try to calm yourself down: breathe deeply and force yourself to think of something pleasant, such as someone you love or a beautiful sunset. Thinking about the hurt is of no use; it only gives power to the person who hurt you. Train yourself to see beauty, love and kindness in the world around you. Never wait for an apology, because you may be waiting forever. Very often the one who hurt you will never think of apologizing, either because they meant to hurt you or because they don’t understand your point of view. It can be very helpful to you to write yourself a letter, imagining what the other person’s perspective might be. Try to stand in his shoes to see the situation; you may realize that the hurt was a result of ignorance or fear — or maybe even love. Finally, remember that forgiving someone does not mean that you have accepted their action. It only means that you have chosen to let go of the hurt.
8. What is the main idea of the passage
A. Forgiveness is possible for all people. B. We should not wait for an apology.
C. When someone has hurt you, try to forgive. D. Forgiveness can be extremely difficult.
9. Which statement is NOT true according to the passage
A. Forgiveness can make people feel more energetic.
B. People who forgive show less anger and more hope.
C. Forgiveness means you accept the hurting actions.
D. Being lost in hate may bring you deeper hurt and pain.
10. What does the underlined phrase in the first paragraph mean
A. Damage. B. Energy. C. Waste. D. Sensitivity.
11. How can you calm yourself when someone has hurt you
A. Take deep breaths and think of something pleasant.
B. Learn to look for love, beauty and kindness around you.
C. Try to see things from the other person’s perspective.
D. All of the above.

Wangdu Bookstore was founded 13 years ago. The owner Ms. Shi said, “Bookselling is a low-profit business. More and more people buy books from online bookstores because they are offering bigger discounts.” Wangdu Bookstore started to lose money two or three years ago when online bookstores grew rapidly. To open up the market and develop readers’ buying habits, online bookstores use low prices as an important sales method.
“We offer a 10% discount to customers and 15% to club members. At these discount levels, our book sales are still going down,” Ms. Shi said. She believes low costs and no rent are big reasons why online bookstores are growing so quickly.
A survey shows that online bookstores have already taken more than 10% of all book sales in China. In large cities, online shopping has become the main book-buying method. With online bookstores gradually growing in the book market, the difficulties for real bookstores are becoming increasingly clear. Recently, JiFengShuYuan has had to face the possibility of closure (倒闭) because of the bad effects of online competition and high rent. “We all have the same problem as JiFengShuYuan’s. Real bookstores are going to disappear sooner or later,” said Ms. Shi sadly.
But at this hard time, Eslite Bookstore overseas is doing very well. Few Eslite bookstores sell only books. Instead, most of the store space is given to tapes and CDs, clothes, and other high-profit items. This is how Eslite pays for the rent.
12. Why did Wangdu Bookstore start to lose money
A. Bookselling was a low-profit business. B. It had to pay more for the costs and rent.
C Online bookstores were developing fast. D. It gave a much lower discount to customers.
13. Why does the author use the example of Eslite Bookstore in the last paragraph
A. To show that the bookselling isn’t a good business.
B. To give a quite different example of a real bookstore.
C. To tell the readers that real bookstores may disappear.
D. To advise real bookstore owners to give up their businesses.
14. What can we infer from the passage
A. JiFengShuYuan is not doing business at present.
B. Online bookstores can offer customers discounts lower than 15%.
C. People in both large and small cities prefer buying books online.
D. Real bookstore owners are not smart enough to run their businesses.
15. What’s the main idea of the passage
A. The success of Eslite Bookstore. B. The advantages of online bookstores.
C. The problems faced by Wangdu Bookstore. D. The difficulties faced by real bookstores.

47. Sue and Johnsy had their art studio in Greenwich Village.In Novemberan unknown disease struck this village and Johnsy was seriously sick with it. The doctor took Sue aside and claimed, “She has one chance in ten. And that chance is for her to want to live.”
Sue came into Johnsy’s room, only to find Johnsy’s eyes were open, but they weren’t watching her.Instead,she stared out the window and counted backwards: “Ten, nine, eight, seven... ”
“What are you counting, dear ” asked Sue. “They’re falling faster now,” replied Johnsy. “Three days ago there were almost a hundred. But now there are only five left. When the last one falls, I must go, too. Didn’t the doctor tell you ”
“Oh, I never heard of such nonsense. Now, try to take some broth(肉汤),and let yourself relax,” quickly replied Sue. But Johnsy’s mind was made up. “I don’t want any broth. I just want to see the last leaf fall.”
“Try to sleep,” said Sue. Then she went to fetch her neighbour Mr Behrman, a failed painter, to be a model for her drawing. In 40 years he had never produced the masterpiece he longed to paint. Sue told him about Johnsy’s longing to slip away like the leaves. Behrman cried with disbelief, “Such a foolish idea! This is not a place in which Miss Johnsy shall lie sick. Someday I will create a masterpiece, and we shall all go away.”
Behrman and Sue looked out of the window at the vine(藤蔓)and noticed that there was just one remaining leaf. Then they looked at each other for a moment without speaking as if thinking of something artistic. What’s more, a cold rain was falling, mixed with snow.
The next morning, Johnsy woke and asked for the curtains to be opened. One leaf remained on the vine, bravely holding on in the wind and rain. ‘‘It will fall today, for sure. And I will die with it.
That day in the afternoon, the doctor came, not for Johnsy, but for Mr Behrman, who was found lying in bed helplessly with pain, his shoes and clothing wet through and icy cold, and some brushes, paints, a lantern and a ladder on the ground.
The following day, Johnsy commanded that the curtain be raised again.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After Behrman’s funeral, Sue came to Johnsy who was sipping her soup, and said,“I have something to tell you.”

【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了原谅别人能对自己的身体能带来好处。
【8题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Nearly everyone would agree that it is very hard to let go of anger after you have been hurt by someone. However, research shows that forgiveness is good for your health. It can give you more energy, help you sleep better.(几乎每个人都认为当你被别人伤害时,你是很难不去生气的。但是,研究表明,原谅对你的身体有好处。它能使你精力充沛,给你带来更多的帮助,让你睡眠更好。)”可知,本文主要讲述原谅他人的好处,且后文介绍了几种让自己冷静的方式,故文章通过介绍原谅他人所带来的好处来鼓励我们学会原谅别人,故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Finally, remember that forgiving someone does not mean that you have accepted their action. It only means that you have chosen to let go of the hurt.(总之,要记住,原谅别人并不意味着你接受他们的行为。它只意味着你选择放手伤害。)”可知,原谅别人并不是接受别人对你的伤害的行为,故选C。
【10题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线词的内容“says Dr Luskin, “and allow people to feel more energetic.”(Dr Luskin说道:“并且它能让人们变得更加有活力。”)”可推知,原谅别人可以给人带来身体上的好处,故此处的划线词与A项“damage伤害”意思相近,原谅别人可以减少身体上的伤害,故选A。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“When you have been hurt, first try to calm yourself down: breathe deeply and force yourself to think of something pleasant, such as someone you love or a beautiful sunset.(当你感觉受到了伤害,首先,尽量让自己冷静下来,深呼吸并强迫自己想一些令人愉悦的事情,比如说你爱的人和美丽的日落。)”、“Train yourself to see beauty, love and kindness in the world around you.(让自己去看到身边的美、爱和善良。)”以及“Try to stand in his shoes to see the situation;(努力让自己站在别人的角度去看待问题。)”可知,当你受到伤害时,让自己冷静下来的方法包括深呼吸,想一些开心的事情、学会寻找身边的美、爱和善良以及学会站在他人的角度来看待问题,故选D。
D
Wangdu Bookstore was founded 13 years ago. The owner Ms. Shi said, “Bookselling is a low-profit business. More and more people buy books from online bookstores because they are offering bigger discounts.” Wangdu Bookstore started to lose money two or three years ago when online bookstores grew rapidly. To open up the market and develop readers’ buying habits, online bookstores use low prices as an important sales method.
“We offer a 10% discount to customers and 15% to club members. At these discount levels, our book sales are still going down,” Ms. Shi said. She believes low costs and no rent are big reasons why online bookstores are growing so quickly.
A survey shows that online bookstores have already taken more than 10% of all book sales in China. In large cities, online shopping has become the main book-buying method. With online bookstores gradually growing in the book market, the difficulties for real bookstores are becoming increasingly clear. Recently, JiFengShuYuan has had to face the possibility of closure (倒闭) because of the bad effects of online competition and high rent. “We all have the same problem as JiFengShuYuan’s. Real bookstores are going to disappear sooner or later,” said Ms. Shi sadly.
But at this hard time, Eslite Bookstore overseas is doing very well. Few Eslite bookstores sell only books. Instead, most of the store space is given to tapes and CDs, clothes, and other high-profit items. This is how Eslite pays for the rent.
12. Why did Wangdu Bookstore start to lose money
A. Bookselling was a low-profit business. B. It had to pay more for the costs and rent.
C. Online bookstores were developing fast. D. It gave a much lower discount to customers.
13. Why does the author use the example of Eslite Bookstore in the last paragraph
A. To show that the bookselling isn’t a good business.
B. To give a quite different example of a real bookstore.
C. To tell the readers that real bookstores may disappear.
D. To advise real bookstore owners to give up their businesses.
14. What can we infer from the passage
A. JiFengShuYuan is not doing business at present.
B. Online bookstores can offer customers discounts lower than 15%.
C. People in both large and small cities prefer buying books online.
D. Real bookstore owners are not smart enough to run their businesses.
15. What’s the main idea of the passage
A. The success of Eslite Bookstore. B. The advantages of online bookstores.
C. The problems faced by Wangdu Bookstore. D. The difficulties faced by real bookstores.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了因为网上购物的流行,导致很多实体书店面临倒闭的风险,即使它们提供打折,也无济于事。但是诚品书店在海外却经营得很好,因为它很不止卖书,还卖磁带、CD、衣服和其他物品。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Wangdu Bookstore started to lose money two or three years ago when online bookstores grew rapidly.(当网上书店迅速发展时,望都书店就开始亏损。)”可知,望都书店开始亏损是因为网上书店迅速发展起来,故选C。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“But at this hard time, Eslite Bookstore overseas is doing very well. Few Eslite bookstores sell only books. Instead, most of the store space is given to tapes and CDs, clothes, and other high-profit items. This is how Eslite pays for the rent.(但是在这艰难的时间里,诚品书店在海外却经营得很好。很少的诚品书店只卖书籍。相反,大多数的商店还经销磁带、CD、衣服和其他物品,用于支付其高额的租金。)”可知,文章在末尾处提出了一个相反的例子,即使在实体书店很艰难的时候,它仍然靠着自身的智慧经营得很好,故选B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章的第一段“To open up the market and develop readers’ buying habits, online bookstores use low prices as an important sales method.(为了打开市场并培养读者的购买习惯,网上书店将低价作为一种重要的销售方式。)”和第二段““We offer a 10% discount to customers and 15% to club members. At these discount levels, our book sales are still going down,” Ms. Shi said. She believes low costs and no rent are big reasons why online bookstores are growing so quickly. (施说:“我们向顾客提供10%的折扣,向俱乐部会员提供15%的折扣。在这样的水平下,我们的图书销量仍在下降。”她认为,低成本和无租金是网上书店增长如此之快的主要原因。)”可知,实体书店最低折扣是15%,然而网上书店却以低价作为主要的销售方式,故可推知,网上书店可以提供低于15%的折扣,故选B。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Wangdu Bookstore was founded 13 years ago. The owner Ms. Shi said, “Bookselling is a low-profit business. More and more people buy books from online bookstores because they are offering bigger discounts.” Wangdu Bookstore started to lose money two or three years ago when online bookstores grew rapidly. To open up the market and develop readers’ buying habits, online bookstores use low prices as an important sales method. (望都书店成立于13年前。施说:“图书销售是一项低利润业务。越来越多的人从网上书店购买书籍,因为他们提供更大的折扣。”两三年前,当网上书店迅速发展时,望都书店开始亏损。为了打开市场并培养读者的购买习惯,网上书店将低价作为一种重要的销售方式。)”可知,文章以望都书店为代表,主要讲述了因为网上购物的流行,导致很多实体书店面临倒闭的风险,即使它们提供打折,也无济于事的现状,故D项“实体书店面临的困难”符合文章主旨大意,故选D。

47. Sue and Johnsy had their art studio in Greenwich Village.In November,an unknown disease struck this village and Johnsy was seriously sick with it. The doctor took Sue aside and claimed, “She has one chance in ten. And that chance is for her to want to live.”
Sue came into Johnsy’s room, only to find Johnsy’s eyes were open, but they weren’t watching her.Instead,she stared out the window and counted backwards: “Ten, nine, eight, seven... ”
“What are you counting, dear ” asked Sue. “They’re falling faster now,” replied Johnsy. “Three days ago there were almost a hundred. But now there are only five left. When the last one falls, I must go, too. Didn’t the doctor tell you ”
“Oh, I never heard of such nonsense. Now, try to take some broth(肉汤),and let yourself relax,” quickly replied Sue. But Johnsy’s mind was made up. “I don’t want any broth. I just want to see the last leaf fall.”
“Try to sleep,” said Sue. Then she went to fetch her neighbour Mr Behrman, a failed painter, to be a model for her drawing. In 40 years he had never produced the masterpiece he longed to paint. Sue told him about Johnsy’s longing to slip away like the leaves. Behrman cried with disbelief, “Such a foolish idea! This is not a place in which Miss Johnsy shall lie sick. Someday I will create a masterpiece, and we shall all go away.”
Behrman and Sue looked out of the window at the vine(藤蔓)and noticed that there was just one remaining leaf. Then they looked at each other for a moment without speaking as if thinking of something artistic. What’s more, a cold rain was falling, mixed with snow.
The next morning, Johnsy woke and asked for the curtains to be opened. One leaf remained on the vine, bravely holding on in the wind and rain. ‘‘It will fall today, for sure. And I will die with it.
That day in the afternoon, the doctor came, not for Johnsy, but for Mr Behrman, who was found lying in bed helplessly with pain, his shoes and clothing wet through and icy cold, and some brushes, paints, a lantern and a ladder on the ground.
The following day, Johnsy commanded that the curtain be raised again.

【答案】Possible Version I
The following day, Johnsy commanded that the curtain be raised again. Miraculously, the leaf was still there, clinging to its stem against the wall, like a strong-willed soldier holding his arms. Staring at the scene for a while, Johnsy turned to Sue and said in a soft voice, “I’ve been a silly girl, Sue. It is definitely a crime to want to die. Now, could you bring me a little broth, and help me sit up.” At this, a flicker of a smile crossed Sue’s face, as she knew inside the embers of hope, the fire of life had been rekindled. “Of course, dear, ” responded Sue with great relief. With a strong desire for life and careful nursing, Johnsy was on the road to recovery. MrBehrman, however, failed in the fight against the disease which claimed his life mercilessly.
After Behrman’s funeral,Sue came to Johnsy who was sipping her soup, and said, “I have something to tell you.” Seated on the bed, Johnsy listened to her attentively. “Mr Behrman died for art and also for you, dear.” Sue paused for a moment, eyes moist with tears. “Look out of the window at the last leaf. Didn’t you wonder why it never fluttered or moved when the wind blew Ah, dear, it’s Behrman’s last masterpiece. He painted it there the night when the last leaf fell.” Upon hearing this, Johnsy felt as if she were struck by a sudden thunder, too shocked and moved to utter a single word. It didn’t occur to her that in an attempt to cheer her up, Mr Behrman had created such an amazing piece of art at the cost his own life. She decided at that moment that she would cherish and live her life to the utmost and embrace this world with kindness and gratitude.
Possible Version 2
The following day,Johnsy commanded-that the curtain be raised again. Everything outside was bathed in the warm sunshine and the remaining leaf on the wine seemed quite mesmerizing with its dreamlike bright color. “It is still there! ” exclaimed Johnsy with amazement. Noticing her surprised look, Sue confirmed, “Indeed, it didn’t fall after such a violent storm, so never should you give up the hope of recovery! ” Staring at the last leaf, Johnsy felt a gleam of hope flaring up inside her heart, clear and dazzling. Then, she didn’t lie lifeless in bed any more, but sat up and asked Sue for some food. “Never give up!” Johnsy murmured to herself with great courage and determination.
After Behrman’s funeral, Sue came to Johnsy who was sipping her soup, and said, “I have something to tell you.” Seeing a sense of sheer confusion flashing across Johnsy’s eyes, Sue started, “The leaf left on the vine doesn’t fall as it’s a fake l painted by Mr Behrman and me when the last leaf fell during the stormy night. Mr Behrman came up with this brilliant and risky idea and we carried it out together. He created his only masterpiece to give you hope at the price of his life.” Johnsy froze there, overwhelmed by tremendous shock mingled with a feeling of guilt and gratitude. What she realized was that being exposed to the storm that night worsened Behrman’s illness, which led to his death. Outside on the vine, the last leaf appeared so realistic and artistic, standing still tenaciously, like a tiny sliver light in the darkness of Johnsy’s life.
