阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
Every time I lost a tooth I would put it under my pillow at night.The next morning I would wake up to find two coins replacing my tooth.Then I'd wonder about the tooth fairy(牙仙子，英国童话里的一个仙子) all day.
“Mom, where do you think the tooth fairy lives? What does she do with the teeth she collects？”
My mom said she didn't know.She only knew that the tooth fairy took the tooth away while we were sleeping and left us some money under our pillow.But I wanted to find out.So I think it was a good thing that I would lose another tooth.The plan was to stay up all night and ask the tooth fairy when she showed up.
That night I lay quietly in my bed, growing sleepy as the night went on.Moments later, I felt that someone was close to me.Through my half opened eyes, I didn't see any feet, but I knew it was the tooth fairy.I watched her run around and fly right out of my room.She was wearing a shiny green dress.After she left, I immediately felt under my pillow.There were two coins.I had never even felt my pillow move.I wondered if she used magic.
As I got older, I learned from my teachers that the tooth fairy didn't exist.It was just a mythical figure of early childhood.I kind of thought it was, but how could I see the tooth fairy fly that night?
Then one night my mom came into my room to check on me.The moonlight was bright that night and it shone through my window right on her shiny green nightdress.Right then I knew deep down that my mom was the tooth fairy.

Ⅰ.阅读理解(共8小题；每小题2分，满分16分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
People with an impulsive personality refer to those who tend to do things without considering the possible dangers or problems first.According to a new study by researchers at the University of Georgia, such people may be more likely to have food addiction.The study found that people exhibiting impulsive behavior weren't necessarily overweight, but impulsiveness was related to a direct relationship with food, and therefore, less healthy weight.
Food addiction has been compared to addictive drug use.Studies have linked the dopamine(多巴胺) release that occurs after tasting delicious food to the dopamine release that happens when people consume other addictive substances.
Impulsive behavior involves several personality traits (特点)．Two of these traits, known as negative urgency and lack of perseverance, were particularly associated with food addiction and high BMI (身体质量指数) during the study.
Negative urgency is characterized by the tendency to behave impulsively when experiencing negative emotions.Some people might drink alcohol or take drugs.For others, it could mean eating to feel better.Lack of perseverance is when a person has a hard time finishing hard or boring tasks.People with a lack of perseverance might have difficulty attempting to change addictive eating behavior, which could also cause obesity.
“Impulsiveness might be one reason why some people eat in an addictive way despite motivation to lose weight，” said Dr.Ashley Gearhardt, a clinical psychologist.He was involved in developing the Yale Food Addiction Scale in aid of those people.“We are theorizing that if food addiction is really a thing, then our measure, the Yale Food Addiction Scale, should be related to helping control impulsive action，” said Gearhardt.
Clinical psychologist Dr.James MacKillop, whose lab was conducting the study, believes that therapies used to treat addictive drug behavior could help people who suffer from addictive eating habits.
“Most of the programs for weight loss at this point focus on the most obvious things, which are clearly diet and exercise，” MacKillop said.“It seems that managing strong desires to eat would naturally fit in with the skills a person would need to eat healthily.”
1．According to Paragraph 1, the result of food addiction is ________.
A．less healthy weight B．motivation to lose weight
C．negative emotions D．taking alcohol or drugs
2．How does the author introduce the two personality traits in Paragraph 4？(　　)
A．By making comparisons and conclusions.
B．By explaining causes and effects.
C．By presenting questions and answers.
D．By giving definitions and examples.
3．What can be inferred about the Yale Food Addiction Scale from the text？(　　)
A．It has been successfully carried out among overweight people.
B．It might help some impulsive people with food addiction to lose weight.
C．It will prove whether food addiction is a problem to impulsive people.
D．It is theoretically a proper treatment for addictive food and drug behavior.
4．Which of the following can be the best title for the text？(　　)
A．Dopamine Release Caused by Food Addiction
B．Food Addiction Compared to Drug Use
C．Impulsive Personality Linked to Food Addition
D．Food Addiction Contributing to Obesity
B
Most people think about donating blood.However.Very few actually do it.Even the most consistent ones donate an average of just three to four times during their lifetime.Now the officials in Sweden are trying to change the trend with the help of modern-day technology.
The encouragement to donate again begins shortly after the donor leaves the clinic when he/she receives a “thank you” text.Though that certainly helps them feel appreciated, what is even more pleasing is the text they receive each time their blood is used to help someone in need.
Karolina Wiberg, manager of the Stockholm blood service, believes this small gesture not only results in repeat donors, but helps bring in new ones.The_program that was started in Stockholm has received such positive feedback that it is now being rolled out across the country.
However, Swedish officials are not stopping there.They are also encouraging local clinics to publish the exact levels of the different blood groups they have at any given time on their websites.This allows potential donors to realize that their blood can make a difference in saving someone's life.
While all these outreach programs are great, busy citizens, even the ones with the best intentions have to be occasionally reminded.In order to jog their memories, officials ask people for authorization to send them text, Facebook, and e-mail reminders.Though that may sound disturbing, the citizens do not seem to mind, given that the messages are light-hearted and fun-things like “We won't give up until you bleed”．
Though Sweden is currently the only country using modern technology to urge more donations, don't be surprised if more join in, especially if the Nordic (北欧) country's blood banks start to overflow!
5．Why is another text sent to blood donors after a “thank you” one？(　　)
A．To ask them for authorization.
B．To inform them their blood is used.
C．To remind them to donate blood immediately.
D．To tell them the levels of blood groups.
6．What does “the program” in Paragraph 3 refer to？(　　)
A．Publishing information about blood donation.
B．Giving Facebook reminders to citizens.
C．Sending text messages to blood donors.
D．Providing people with blood service.
7．What do people think of blood donation reminders？(　　)
A．Disturbing. B．Memorable.
C．Authentic. D．Acceptable.
8．What can we infer from the last paragraph? (　　)
A．Sweden will stop urging blood donation.
B．Sweden has benefited little from its program.
C．More countries may follow Sweden's example.
D．Nordic blood banks are in great need of blood.

Ⅱ.概要写作(满分25分)
阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
It's a really good idea to visit colleges before you apply because their websites can all start to look and sound the same. Nothing will give you the sense of what it will actually be like to live on a college campus(校园) like visiting and seeing for yourself the dorms， classrooms and athletic equipment and， of course， the students. It seems a little crazy once senior year hits to find the time to visit college campuses， and it can also be pricey if the schools you are applying to happen to be more than a car ride away. But keep in mind that you are making a decision about the next four years of your life， and do all the research you can to make sure you are making the right one.
There's no excuse not to visit the schools in your local area. In fact， a lot of college applications even ask if you have visited campus， and obviously， if you live across the country that won't be as much of a possibility， but if you live nearby， go check it out！
If campus visits aren't going to happen before you apply， at the very least you should find some time between applying and getting your acceptance letters to visit schools you'd like to attend. It can save you a lot of heartache if you rule out now the things that you don't like about certain campuses， things that you wouldn't know unless you actually visit.
Now， if time and money are making it impossible， then check out the online college fairs at College-WeekLive. It's a chance to chat online with admissions officers， students， and college counselors(顾问)， and it won't cost you a penny！ You can register for its online college fair at collegeweeklive. com. While visiting an online college fair can't take the place of an actual campus visit， it can be a very useful tool that along with all your other research will help you make an informed decision about which colleges or universities you'd like to attend.
　
　
　
【答案】
One possible version：
To decide wisely which colleges to attend， you are advised to pay a visit to colleges before you apply， especially the ones you live close to(要点1). At least you should visit the schools you want to go to(要点2). If you can't go and check it out for lack of time and money， visit the online college fairs at CollegeWeekLive， where you can get necessary information(要点3).

【答案及解析】
1．A　考查insist，suggest的用法。句意： 老人坚持说那男孩不是贼，建议放了他。故第一空不用虚拟语气，suggested后的宾语从句用虚拟语气，谓语动词用 should do，should 可省略。
2．A　考查ought to do的用法。句意：到了吃晚饭的时候了，我应该回家了。只有ought后加to do构成ought to do，表示“应该做……”。
3．C　考查it's time (that)…的用法。句意：现在已六点了。你不认为到了该回家的时候了吗？it's time(that)从句中谓语动词用过去式或should＋动词原形(should不省略)形式。
4．A　考查动词demand 的用法。句意：工人们要求增加百分之十的工资。demand的宾语从句要用虚拟语气，谓语动词“should＋动词原形”，should可省略。
5．B　考查you'd better do sth 的用法。句意：——妈妈，我得了重感冒。——噢，汤姆，你最好去看医生！根据上下文，应用you'd better do sth “你最好做……”。
6．D　考查I'd rather(that)…句型。 句意： 我真希望约翰没有参加讨论，一走了之啊！这是对过去的虚拟，表示但愿某事已经发生。
7．B　考查动词suggest的用法。句意：近来，许多专家建议应尽快通过关于野生动物保护的另一项法律。由recently可判断用现在完成时，suggest表示“建议”时，宾语从句用“should＋动词原形”形式，should可省略。
8．A　句意：老师们建议父母，为了安全起见，不要让12岁以下的孩子骑车上学。recommend在句中是“建议”的意思，其后的宾语从句通常用虚拟语气，即从句的谓语动词用“should＋动词原形”的形式。
9．B　句意：如果我们走另外一条路，我们就有可能及时赶到这儿参加会议。由句意可知，实际上我们没有走另外一条路，所以没能及时赶到这儿参加会议。本题是对过去动作的虚拟假设。对过去动作虚拟时，主句用了might＋have＋过去分词，从句用过去完成时had＋过去分词。
10．A　句意：Joan苍白的脸色表明她生病了，妈妈建议她去医院。suggest 作“表明”讲时从句不用虚拟，作“建议”讲时从句要用虚拟语气，所以选A。
11．A　suggestion作主语时，其后面that引导的表语从句中谓语动词应用should＋动词原形，should 可省略。且harvest 是动作承受者，所以用被动语态。句意：他的建议是在雨季来临之前，要把庄稼收完。
12．D　考查虚拟语气。would rather后跟从句时，从句要用一般过去时来表示现在或将来的动作，故选D项。
13．C　本题考查虚拟语气的用法。句意：如果他当初听了我的建议，他就不会失去工作了。由句意可知从句是对过去动作的虚拟，对过去动作虚拟时，从句应用过去完成时，故选C。
14．B　句意：我建议应该有一种语言，全世界都可以理解和使用。suggest后的宾语从句应用虚拟语气，第二空是定语从句，从句中缺少宾语，故选B。
15．B　句意：年轻人坚持说他没做错，应该被释放。第一空表示坚持认为，用陈述语气，第二空表示应该，用虚拟语气，故选B。
课件16张PPT。Period Three　Grammar在正式的书面语和非正式的口语中，常用不同方式来告诉别人应该做什么。下面是一些常用来表示“说服”的单词、短语和句式及其用法。说服1．ought to/should
情态动词ought to 和 should，后面跟动词原形或完成形式。 ought to更多反映客观情况，表示根据法律、义务“应当”，比should语气强；should表示主观看法，一种建议、劝说。 should/ought to＋have done 表示过去应该做而实际没有做的事情，含有责备或遗憾的语气，其否定式为“should not have done/ought not to have done”。As a Party member，you ought to give the lead.
作为党员，你应该带头。
You should brush your teeth before you go to bed.
你在睡觉前应该刷牙。
We should have studied last night，but we went to the concert instead.
我们昨晚本应该学习，却去看了演唱会。
They ought not to have let you out of hospital so soon；otherwise，you would feel better.
他们本不该让你这么快出院的，不然的话，你身体现在会大有好转。2．insist/demand/suggest
insist“坚决要求”；demand“要求”；suggest“建议”。这些动词后的宾语从句中谓语常用“(should)＋动词原形”。
【注意】 insist作“坚持认为/说”讲时，宾语从句不用虚拟语气；suggest指“暗示，表明”时，宾语从句中谓语动词用陈述语气，不用虚拟语气。He insisted that we (should) accept these gifts.
他一定要我们收下这些礼物。
He demanded that we (should) start right away.
他要求我们马上动身。
He suggested that the work(should)be started at once.
他建议立即动工。
Mike insisted that he had never stolen anything.
迈克坚持说他从来没偷过东西。
His attending her wedding party suggested that he had forgiven her.
他去参加她的婚礼表明他已经原谅她了。3．It is (high/about) time (that)…
在It is (high/about) time (that)…句型中，从句的谓语动词用过去式或should＋动词原形(should不能省略，be用were)来表示，意为“(早到了)该做……的时候了”。
It's high time that we protected the historical old buildings.
到了我们保护历史古建筑物的时候了。4．I would rather you…
在I'd rather (that) you…句型中，从句谓语动词要用虚拟语气，即用一般过去时表示当时或将来要做的事；用过去完成时表示过去要做的事。
I'd rather you met her at the airport tomorrow morning.
我但愿你明天早上能在机场见到她。
I'd rather you hadn't told him the news that day.
我真希望你那天没有把消息告诉他。
5．You'd better…
You'd better…“你最好……”，后跟不带to的不定式，其否定形式是You'd better not do sth。
You'd better go to hospital at once.
你最好立即去医院看病。
6．If I were you，I would…
If I were you，I would do/have done 表示“如果我是你，我(就)会……”。
If I were you，I would accept the job at once.
如果我是你，我会立即接受这个工作。【翻译句子】

Ⅰ.阅读理解(共4小题；每小题2分，满分8分)
阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
“A good book for children should simply be a good book in its own right，” says Mollie Hunter.Born and brought up near Edinburgh, Mollie has devoted her talents to writing primarily for young people.She firmly believes that there is always and should always be a wider audience for any good book whatever its main market is.In Mollie's opinion it is necessary to make full use of language and she enjoys telling a story, which is what every writer should be doing.“If you aren't telling a story, you're a very dead(呆板的) writer indeed，” she says.“I have this great love of not only the meaning of language but of the music of language，” she says.“This love goes back to early childhood.I've told stories all my life.I had a school teacher who used to ask us what we would like to be when we grew up and, because my family always had dogs, and I was very good at handling them, I said I wanted to work with dogs, and the teacher always said ‘Nonsense, Mollie, dear, you'll be a writer.’ So finally I thought that this woman must have something, since she was a good teacher and I decided when I was nine that I would be a writer.”
This childhood intention is described in her novel, A Sound of Chariots, which although written in the third person is clearly autobiographical(自传体的) and gives a picture both of Mollie's ambition(理想) and her struggle towards its achievement.Thoughts of her childhood inevitably(不可避免地) brought thoughts of the time when her home was still a village with buttercup meadows and strawberry fields—sadly now covered with modern houses.“I was once taken back to see it and I felt that somebody had lain dirty hands all over my childhood.I'll never go back，” she said，“Never.” “When I set one of my books in Scotland，” she said, “I can recall my romantic(浪漫的) feelings as a child playing in those fields, or watching the village blacksmith at work.And that's important, because children now know so much so early that romance can't exist for them, as it did for us.”
1．What does Mollie Hunter feel about the nature of a good book？(　　)
A．It should not aim at a narrow audience.
B．It should be attractive to young readers.
C．It should be based on original ideas.
D．It should not include too much conversation.
2．In Mollie Hunter's opinion, which of the following is one sign of a poor writer？(　　)
A．Being poor in life experience. B．Being short of writing skills.
C．The weakness of description. D．The absence of a story.
3．________ made Mollie Hunter determined to be a writer.
A．Loving of telling stories B．Her early writing experience
C．Her teacher D．Mollie's ambition
4．What's the writer's purpose in this text？(　　)
A．To describe Mollie Hunter's most successful books.
B．To provide information for Mollie Hunter's existing readers.
C．To introduce Mollie Hunter's work to a wider audience.
D．To share her enjoyment of Mollie Hunter's books.

The mystery of why a baby is comforted by being picked up has been discovered.A new study not only shows that babies deeply relax when they are carried, but goes on to explain the physical processes at work.An instinct(本能) in evolution causes crying babies to calm down, when they are held in their mother's arms.
When babies are picked up and carried, their heart rate slows down and they “automatically and deeply” relax.But this doesn't happen when they are simply held, the study found.The scientists say the study is the first to show that the baby's response to being cared is a coordinated (协调的) set of nervous regulation of hearts.
The findings could help parents who have trouble tranquilizing their babies, claim the scientists.“Their baby response reduces the mother's burden of carrying, and is important to both the mother and the baby，” Dr Kumi Kuroda, from the Riken Brain Science Institute in Japan.The researchers believe the calming response is a survival trait(特征) preserved by evolution in many mammals, including lions and squirrels.
The research involved measuring electrical brain activity in both human babies and mouse babies.When baby mice are carried by their mothers, their legs flexed (弯曲的) and they stopped giving off loud sound.In mice, the calming response was depended on the sense of touch and the ability to feel body movement.
The findings may have importance for parenting, say the scientists.“Such proper understanding of babies would reduce parents' feeling of failure and be important, because crying is a major risk for child abuse，” said Dr Kuroda.“Although our study was done on mothers, we believe that this is not specific to mums and can be used by any primary caregiver.”
4．What response do crying babies have when they are picked up？(　　)
A．They stop crying and fall asleep quickly.
B．They smile at the mothers at once.
C．They relax with the heart rate slowing down.
D．They ask for more body contact.
5．What does the underlined word “tranquilizing” in Paragraph 3 probably mean？(　　)
A．Raising. B．Calming.
C．Carrying. D．Teaching.
6．Who will be interested in the text？(　　)
A．Primary school teachers.
B．Parents with teenagers.
C．People who take care of babies.
D．Couples who want to have children.
7．What does the text mainly talk about？(　　)
A．How we can take good care of babies.
B．Mothers have trouble in bringing up children.
C．What to do when your baby cries.
D．Why babies calm down when picked up and carried.

【参考范文】
It is reported that up to 67% of the old people are suffering from mental diseases resulting from loneliness.Several reasons contribute to this phenomenon.
One of them is that with the development of modern society, people in growing numbers are becoming busier and busier.As a result, they haven't enough time to go back home, leaving their old parents alone.What's more, after retirement, most seniors have nothing to do, which adds to their loneliness.As far as I'm concerned, on the one hand, for us children, we should often go home and stay together with our parents no matter how busy we are.On the other hand, our society should organize all kinds of activities for the senior to help them lead a colorful life.Only when all of us care for the aged can we build a harmonious society.五、写作练笔

Chinese style of crossing the road
Recently, a heated debate arose online in China about the Chinese style of crossing the road.___________________One possible version：
Chinese style of crossing the road
Recently, a heated debate arose online in China about the Chinese style of crossing the road. As is shown in the picture, a large crowd of people are crossing the road regardless of red lights, which prevents the vehicles from moving forward even at the sight of green lights.Various reasons might account for pedestrians to run traffic lights. Some people believe it is not against traffic laws and won't be fined because so many people do it together. Others may argue that traffic lights are not arranged scientifically, so that they have to wait too long before they can cross the road.In my opinion, the jaywalkers should be severely punished. Most importantly, people should be educated to obey laws from childhood. Start out small and develop a good sense and habit of observing laws. Only by improving people's safety and law awareness can we create a harmonious society.Unit 24　Society

Our risk of cancer rises rapidly as we age.So it makes sense that the elderly should be routinely screened for new tumors (肿瘤) or doesn't it?
While such tracking of cancer is a good thing in general, researchers are increasingly questioning whether all of this testing is necessary for the elderly.With the percentage of people over age 65 expected to nearly double by 2050, it's important to weigh the health benefits of screening against the risks and costs of routine testing.
In many cases, screening can lead to additional examinations and operations to remove cancer, which can cause side effects, while the cancers themselves may be slow-growing and may not cause serious health problems in patients' remaining years.But the message that everyone must screen for cancer has been so ingrained (根深蒂固的) that when health care experts recommended that women under 50 and over 74 stop screening for breast cancer, it caused a noisy reaction among doctors, patients and social groups.
It's hard to uproot deeply-held beliefs about cancer screening with scientific data.Certainly, there are people over age 75 who have had cancers detected by routine screening, and gained several extra years of life because of treatment.And clearly, people over age 75 who have other risk factors for cancer, such as a family history or previous personal experience with the disease, should continue to get screened regularly.But for the rest, the risk of cancer, while increased at the end of life, must be balanced with other factors like remaining life expectancy.
A recent study suggests that doctors start to make more objective decisions about who will truly benefit from screening—especially considering the explosion of the elderly.
It's not an easy calculation to make, but one that makes sense for patients.Dr.Otis Brawley said, “Many doctors are ordering these tests purely to cover themselves from medical disputes.We need to think about the wise use of health care, which means making some difficult decisions with elderly patients, and going against the misguided belief that when it comes to health care, more is always better.”
4．Routine cancer screening for the elderly people makes sense because ________.
A．it is believed to contribute to a long life
B．it is part of their health care package
C．they are more sensitive about the health
D．they are in greater danger of tumor growth
5．How do some researchers now look at routine cancer screening for the elderly？(　　)
A．It adds too much to their medical bills.
B．They are doubtful about its necessity.
C．It helps increase their life expectancy.
D．They think it does more harm than good.
6．What is the traditional view about women screening for breast cancer？(　　)
A．It is a must for adult women. B．It applies to women over 50.
C．It is intended for young women. D．It doesn't apply to women over 74.
【答案及解析】
【解题导语】定期癌检查是否对上了年纪的人减少疾病的扩散有用呢，研究人员就此展开了研讨，上了年纪的人需要更多的健康管理而不仅仅是定期检查。
4．D　细节理解题。根据第一段第一句“Our risk of cancer rises rapidly as we age”可知，年龄增长发生癌症的风险会迅速扩大。故D正确。
5．B　细节理解题。根据第二段“researchers are increasingly questioning whether all of this testing is necessary for the elderly”可知，研究者们越来越质疑对老年人来说，所有这些测试是否必要，故B正确。
6．A　推理判断题。根据第三段提到 “But the message that everyone must screen for cancer has bee so ingrained”，“但是每个人必须检查防癌的这个想法是如此根深蒂固”，故选A项。
C

February 7 marks the 200th anniversary of the writer's birthday.To mark this date, BBC writer Alex Hudson listed six things Dickens gave the modern world.Let's take a look at two of them.
A White Christmas
Dickens is described as “the man who invented Christmas”—not the religious festival, but the cultural aspects that we associate with the festive season today.
In the early 19th century, Christmas was barely worth mentioning, according to critic and writer Leigh Hunt.The committee which ran the Conservative Party even held ordinary business meetings on Christmas Day—unthinkable in the West nowadays, when everyone but the most necessary workers takes at least three days off.
Many people believe that Dickens' popular descriptions of the festive period became a blueprint for generations to come.In his classic novel, A Christmas Carol, he not only put forward the idea of snow at Christmas, but also painted a picture of glowing warmth—“home enjoyments, affections and hopes”．
In his biography of Dickens, Peter Ackroyd wrote: “Dickens can be said to have almost single-handedly created the modern idea of Christmas.”
“Dickens” poverty(贫穷)
Dickens was one of the first to take an honest look at the underclass and the poor of Victorian London.He helped popularize the term “red_tape” to describe situations where people in power use needless amounts of bureaucracy(官僚作风) in a way that particularly hurts the weaker and poorer members of society.
“Dickensian” has now become a powerful word for describing an unacceptable level of poverty.In 2009, when the president of the Association of Teachers and Lecturers in the UK wanted to talk about poverty in some areas of Britain, she did not use words like “terrible” or “horrific”， but rather described it as “life mirroring the times of Dickens”．
7．The article is mainly about________.
A．a brief introduction to Charles Dickens
B．Charles Dickens' influence on the world
C．the characters in Charles Dickens' stories
D．Charles Dickens' achievements in literature
8．Why is Dickens called “the man who invented Christmas”？(　　)
A．Because he created both religious and culture festival.
B．Because all his novels have something to do with Christmas.
C．Because one of his novels helped to shape Christmas celebrations.
D．Because he was the first man to have proposed celebrating Christmas.
9．According to the article, the phrase “red tape” refers to ________.
A．rules or procedures that are required to accomplish a task
B．a situation in which poor members of society are hurt
C．conflict between people in power and weaker people
D．pointlessly time-consuming official procedures
10．We can learn from the passage that ________.
A．Dickensian is widely used to describe the Christmas
B．Charles Dickens' novels reflect the true life at his age
C．every person can take three days off for Christmas
D．the theme of Charles Dickens' stories is about poverty
【答案及解析】
【解题导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章介绍了狄更斯对现代社会的两个重要影响。
7．B　主旨大意题。从第二段第二句“To mark this date, BBC writer Alex Hudson listed six things Dickens gave the modern world”可知，为纪念这个日子，BBC作家亚历克斯·哈德逊列举了狄更斯带给现代世界的六件事，可见主要讲的是狄更斯对整个世界的影响，故选B。
8．C　细节理解题。由第五段“he not only put forward the idea of snow at Christmas, but also painted a picture of glowing warmth －home enjoyments, affections and hopes”“他不仅提出了圣诞节雪的想法，还描绘出一幅温暖发光的图画，家庭中的生活、感情和希望”以及第六段“Dickens can be said to have almost single-handedly created the modern idea of Christmas”可知，狄更斯可以说一手创造了现代圣诞节，故选C。
9．D　词义推断题。由倒数第二段“He helped popularize the term ‘red tape’ to describe situations where people in power use needless amounts of bureaucracy in a way that particularly hurts the weaker and poorer members of society”可知，red tape的意思是“官方办事时的繁文缛节”，故选D。
10．B　理解推断题。由“she did not use words like ‘terrible’ or ‘horrific’， but rather described it as ‘life mirroring the times of Dickens’”可知， 英国教师与讲师协会主席用“反映了狄更斯时期的生活”来描述贫穷，证明了狄更斯的作品真实反映了生活，故选B。

第二节　概要写作(满分25分)
阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
When you are learning English， listening， speaking and writing are important， but reading can also be very helpful. When you read， you can not only learn some new words， but also learn how to use these English words. When you read， it gives you a good example for writing.
Read something that you can (more or less) understand. If you need to stop every three words to use a dictionary， it is not interesting. Reading books with a reasonable number of new words is very important. If there are four or five new words on a page， write them in your notebook. But you don't have to write them while you read. Instead， try to guess their meaning as you read， and mark them with a pen. Then come back when you have finished reading to look them up in a dictionary and write them in your own vocabulary book. Then try to remember them.
You should develop a good habit of reading. For example， read for a short time once a day. Fifteen minutes every day is better than two hours every Sunday. Fix a time to read and keep to it. You can read for fifteen minutes when you go to bed， or when you get up or at lunchtime.
There are a variety of books in the bookstore， so what kinds of books should you choose？ Choose a book or a magazine about a subject that you like， because you are going to spend time and money reading it. So， choose an interesting book. You can also read newspapers. There are many English newspapers in China， for example， 21st Century Teens. It is easy enough for you to understand. There is something interesting in it.

课件9张PPT。商店为了让顾客掏腰包，使出了一些伎俩，别中计了！学学反击的诀窍，让自己保持高度警觉。
Saving while shopping
We know that candy，sodas and pop magazines are piled neatly next to the checkout to make you spend just a little more money before you leave.That's an easy trick to recognize.Here are more：Attack the senses：If your mom said “Don't go to the grocery store hungry”，she was onto something.Stores tend to turn your senses against you，attacking your senses of smell and sight to get you to buy.Whether a supermarket or department store，the smell of fried chicken，baked goods get you thinking of spending.
What to do：Eat before you arrive，have a list in hand and get in and out as fast as possible.Aisle(走廊) designs：Of course，the whole store is a giant maze(迷宫)designed to get you to see as many goods as you can before you leave.Keep in mind，the newest，highest-priced goods will sit on eye-level shelves，possibly bathed in warm light，to attract your attention.They will be well-stocked(货源充足的)．The older or lesser-priced goods will often be on shelves that are harder to get to and don't expect those items to be as well-stocked.What to do：If you want some older，off-brand，or cheaper goods that are not in stock，do not compromise and buy the higher-priced ones.
Shopping cart(手推车)：I used to think stores offered shopping carts in the front of the store for shoppers' convenience.Actually，they may just want you to have a big bin to drop lots of items into，even if you didn't seek or shop for them at first.
What to do：Go for the smaller handheld baskets if you are not shopping for a lot and avoid the shopping cart.
Stores want you to make more buys and spend more than you planned，so you must fight back.【佳句仿写】
1．Whether a supermarket or department store, the smell of fried chicken, baked goods get you thinking of spending.
仿写：他来不来都没关系。
__________________________________
【答案】Whether he will come or not，it doesn't matter.2．The older or lesser-priced goods will often be on shelves that are harder to get to and don't expect those items to be as well-stocked.
仿写：他总是迟到，不要指望这次他能按时到。
___________________________________
【答案】He is always coming late.Don't expect him to come on time this time.
3．Actually, they may just want you to have a big bin to drop lots of items into, even if you didn't seek or shop for them at first.
仿写：即使我现在走，也会迟到。
___________________________________
【答案】Even if I leave now，I'll be late，too.
