I was going to Marblehead with my sailboat team. The team was racing down the highway at 85 mph 17 we realized we were 18 . Luckily, we saw a rest area ahead. I had a brand new $20 bill. I was so 19 because I had never had that kind of cash before. But spending it on 20 seemed like throwing it away.

LONDON Tuesday April 11—Dustin Hoffman fan Pamela Crack got the shock of her life when the movie star telephoned her as she was doing her housework.Crack,58,said she was “flabbergasted” when she picked up the phone and heard the star at the other end.

Columbus made four voyages to the west between 1492 and 1504 in his vain(徒劳的)search for a sea route to Asia. The mystery of why he failed to find it haunted(萦绕心头的,耿耿于怀的) him and filled him with sadness.
Wherever he went to Cuba(古巴),Puerto Rico(波多黎各),Jamaica(牙买加),South America, Panama(巴拿马),down the coast of Central America—it was always the same story. Instead of golden palaces, there were grass huts and palm-leaf tents. Instead of silk-robed merchant princes, he found “Indians” who did not have so much as a shirt on their backs.
When Columbus explored the West Indies in 1493,he heard tales of a fierce Indian tribe(凶狠的印第安部落) who literally devoured(吞食) its defeated enemies after a battle. These people were called by many names in the area, including Calina, Canima, Carib, and Caniba. Columbus recorded the name of the American natives as Canibales in Spanish, a word which came to refer, within a few years, to any eater of human flesh(食人部落,食人族).In the similar fashion, the word Caribbean, a title for the sea as well as for the region, came into English.
At times Columbus knew that this new land was not China, not Japan, not the Spice Islands. He seemed to accept it as a part of the earth that the geographers of Europe had never heard of before. It was another world—and he called it exactly that—but Columbus also insisted until he died that land he had reached was an unknown part of Asia.
41.What is the best title for this text?
A. Sailing to Asia B. Columbus’ voyages C. West Indies D. Spice Islands
42.In the course of his four voyages, Columbus succeeded in .
A. finding China and the Spice Islands B. trading with many merchants
C. visiting several parts of Central and South America D. sailing to Asia
43.According to this text, Columbus .
A. sailed to find new lands for the king
B. sailed to find a water route round the world
C. sailed to establish trading ports
D. named the Caribbean which literally means any eater of human flesh
44.Columbus thought that .
A. others had sailed to Asia before him
B. it was impossible to sail to Asia
C. the land he had found was not China or Japan
D. the geographers knew about the land he had found
45.The text implies that .
A. Columbus never realized the full meaning of his discovery
B. Columbus was disappointed with his voyages
C. there was no way to reach Asia from Europe at that time
D. Columbus found exactly what he had intended to

Compulsive(强迫的)shoppers may have a new psychological excuse to blame for their wild shopping. Psychologists at the University of Canterbury in New Zealand are studying the “shop-till-you-drop”habit as a behavioral disorder similar to compulsive eating. Compulsive shoppers frequently buy more than they can afford or more than they need, and it causes them distress.
“It becomes a problem when you are out of control,”psychology lecturer Neville Blampied said.“When you are feeling bad and blue, what do you do? Some people eat chocolate cake and ice cream. Some people take the credit card and go out to the shop.”Bank managers understand the problem because they have to deal with people who have to be persuaded to stop using their cards drawing money.
Compulsive shopping was first discovered in 1915,although it was then known as oniomania. Few studies have been done on the problem.
An advertisement in a Christchurch paper, calling for people to take part in an experimental treatment program designed by Mr Wilson, attracted 10 replies. But the problem, said Mr Wilson, is“clearly not rare”.He thinks that compulsive shopping should be treated with drugs.“As psychologists we are interested in non-drug treatments for behavioral difficulties,”Mr Wilson said.
Compulsive eaters or shoppers get a kick from their habit.“Both activities provide an immediate kind of kick and you feel a bit better,”he said.“You have long-term problems, but human beings are extremely good at not seeing long-term problems and are very sensitive to short-term benefits,”he said.
The aim of the treatment was to help people find better ways of managing their emotions. The program, consisting of 10 one-hour weekly lessons and two follow-up treatments, is loosely based on teaching stress management.
“You often have to start to get people to correctly recognize their emotions. Not being able to know what you really feel weakens your ability to solve the problems connected with what’s making you feel that way,”Mr Wilson said.
46.What is this article mostly about?
A. Signs of compulsive shopping.
B. Studies of compulsive shopping.
C. comparison of compulsive shopping and compulsive eating.
D. An experimental treatment program designed by Mr Wilson.
47.The compulsive shoppers will go shopping when .
A. they have lots of money B. they are taking drugs
C. they are feeling sad D. they win a prize
48.The underlined word“it”in the first paragraph most probably refers to .
A. compulsive eating B. a new psychological excuse
C. the study done by Blampied D. the behavior of wild shopping
49.Which of the following is considered important in treating compulsive shoppers?
A. Teaching them to manage their money better.
B. Teaching them to understand their emotions.
C. Persuading them not to draw money from the bank.
D. Treating them with right drugs.
50.When the writer says that compulsive shoppers get a kick from their habit, he means that they .
A. feel distressed after their wild shopping B. feel better after treatment from psychologists
C. are better able to deal with stress problems D. have a feeling of excitement after shopping

一.单选
1-5 CCACD 6-10 BCBDD 11-15 AABBA
二.完形
16.解析:从上下文意思分析,此处表示下文将要向大家介绍一下我的learning experience。与大家共同分享,所以用share。say在此具有较强的干扰性,主要是受汉语的影响。
17. 解析:此处应根据句型结构去选择答案。be doing sth.when sth.else happened为英语的固定句型结构,表示“正在做某事,这时另一件事发生了”的意思。在这一结构中,连词必须用when,或者用and at this time。答案:D
18. 解析:从第6题所在的句子意思分析,此处应表示“饿了”。如果仅仅从下一句话的a rest area分析,不去全面理解的话,很容易误选B项。答案:C
19. 解析:从下一句的意思分析,此处应表示“高兴”。 答案:A
20. 解析:从上文来看,此处就是到这里购买食物,解决“饥饿”的问题。答案:B
21. 解析:从上一句话的意思分析,“我挤进购买pizza的队列”,说明不可能“立即买到”。而上文又没有说明数量有限,所以A项也不对。此处应该说明一个过程。答案:B
22. 解析:此处应表示“吃到一半的时候才意识到没有付钱”的意思。而thought表示“思考,认为”的意思,容易受汉语影响。答案:D
23. 解析:我从里面走出来。leave out为“漏掉”的意思。容易受leave的汉语意思影响而误选此项。答案:A
24. 解析:本题通过语言环境的暗示来考查短语动词的用法。四个动词都可和over连用构成短语,但意思不同:look over “快速地查看、查阅”;get over “克服,熬过不愉快的事,从……中恢复过来”;turn over “翻身;反复考虑”;think over “考虑”。根据意思,此处应表示受到良心的谴责,无法从中摆脱出来,故用get over。答案:B
25. 解析:此处根据本句及上下文意思应表示“付款”。答案:B
26. 解析:此处根据句意应表示“不愿意”的意思。答案:A
27. 解析:此处根据意思应表示不愿意做的原因“是因为担心别人会说……”。答案:D
28. 解析:此处用for表示“交换”的意思。答案:C
29. 解析:此处应联系第3题和第4题所在的两句话的意思考虑。答案:C
30. 解析:此处是remind oneself of something的被动形式,表示“想起”的意思。答案:B
31. 解析:根据文章的第一句话的暗示得出答案。答案:A
32. 解析:此处表示“向……妥协”的意思,故用give in短语。答案:D
33. 解析:根据上文的意思,那个pizza没有付钱,当然是“免费的”。答案:A
34. 解析:此处表示“即使你摆脱了,你的良心也会陪伴着你”。catch up with表示“追赶上”的意思。答案:C
35. 解析:根据上一句的saying的意思判断,此处作者把自己比喻成了coward和hero时的心理感受。答案:D
三.阅读理解
36.解析:本题的命题意图是检测学生依据上下文在特定语篇条件下对词语的猜测技能。从语法和句子结构上讲,题中所给四个选项都正确。根据语境,家庭主妇突然接到她崇拜已久的电影明星的电话,自然应是先吃一惊。答案:D
37. 解析:本题的命题意图是检测学生通过阅读提取具体信息的能力。由文章第三段首句可知,是Dave Crack在出租车上告诉了他Pamela是他的影迷。答案:B
38. 解析:本题仍为细节理解题。由文章第三段末句和第四段首句可知,Hoffman不负所托,专门在颁奖仪式上提到Dave Crack。答案:B
39. 解析:本题的命题意图是检测学生依据事实进行推理和判断的能力。根据文章提供的事实和常识,可排除A、B、D三个选项。答案:C
40. 解析: 本题的命题意图是检测学生依据语篇内容判断事实时间顺序的能力。这样的判断相对而言并不困难,但是,重要的问题是,要能够从行文之中把相关的事实提取出来,并进行有效的空间想像,安排它们的时间顺序。答案:A
41. 解析:该题属于主旨大意题。本文主要讲哥伦布的航海经历,B项内容与主题相符,因此,B为正确选项。答案:B

43. 解析:该题属于事实细节题。根据第三段第三句话“Columbus recorded the name of the American natives as Canibales in Spanish,a word which came to refer,within a few years,to any eater of human flesh”可知,哥伦布用“Caribbean”这一源于西班牙语的词汇,来表示当时发现的“食人族”。因此,D为正确选项。答案:D
44. 解析:该题属于事实细节题。根据最后一段前两句话可知,哥伦布认为自己发现的陆地是欧洲的地理学家并未听说的新大陆。因此C为正确选项。答案:C
45. 解析:该题属于推理判断题。哥伦布本人期待发现的是亚洲大陆,他一直认为自己所到之处就是亚洲某地,而实际上,他是发现美洲大陆的第一人。因此,A为正确选项。答案:A
46. 解析:本题的命题意图是检测学生对全文主旨的概括能力。通观全文,主要介绍的是对购物癖的新认识:它是一种心理疾病。文章对购物癖的症状、病因、病理及治疗措施进行了具体介绍。答案:B
47. 解析:细节考查题。答案依据在第二段。答案:C
48. 解析:此处的it实际上是指“Compulsive shoppers frequently buy more than they can afford or more than they need”这一状况。答案:D
49. 解析:心病还须心药治。答案:B
50. 解析:根据第五段“Both activities provide an immediate kind of kick and you feel a bit better”,可推出答案。答案:D

Dear editor,
I’m writing to tell you about the discussion we recently had about whether our parents should accompany us studying at school.
We do have different opinions on this matter. Most of us (about 70%)think our parents should not accompany us studying at school since it make us fall into the habit of dependence, so that we won’t form the good habit of studying. What’s more, it is harmful for us to form the habit of controlling ourselves. At the same time it affects our parents’ work, studies and rest.
While about 30%of my classmates think it necessary for our parents to accompany us studying at school. Accompanying us studying at school can let us have more time to spare for our studies. Besides, we shall be more healthy for their cooking. On the other hand our parents can help us set up our aim, urge us to finish our task, encourage us to overcome difficulties and get us into the good habit of studying..
Yours truly,
