Its “designed for travelers who like reading”. It is famous for its travel book collection. Categorized by country and region, you can find books on history, arts, food, culture, film, literature, and many more topics of the region. Its absolutely fascinating. My favourite is the London literature section near the entrance. Its very tasteful selection and its a pleasure just to read a few paragraphs while you browse (浏览). The interior is beautiful. Classic wooden counters, wooden floors, shelves and tables of book are organized nicely. Every time I passed by I had to make a stop there. Staff there are helpful and friendly.I love the convenience of Amazon but bookstores with special atmosphere like this just cannot be replaced. Rachel Z, San FranciscoI dont read books as often as I would like. I just dont have time, and lets be honest, after doing all my schoolwork. Id rather just put my brain on coast and read an OK magazine and catch up with some news about film stars. I was brought into Daunt while wandering down the street and its really just an inspiring place and it actually made me want to “read” something. Really, if youre anywhere near the shop, do pop in and just look around, even if you have a love/ hate relationship with reading like I do. The inside of the shop made me look around as if I remember enjoying as a kid seeing some new big store, when in fact its not new, but the sight of a bookstore with classic design charm is refreshing after spending so much time in libraries.Go and see it for yourself. You wont be disappointed! Thomas A, London21. Those who want to read in Daunt Books _.A. should avoid Sunday morning B. can only read travel books thereC. will find there is no place for parking D. can only buy the books they want in cash22.

What is the reading habit of Thomas A?A. He likes reading British literature. B. Reading is just a way to relax himself.C. He likes visiting big and new bookstores. D. He thinks reading in libraries is more helpful24. How did Thomas A know about Daunt Books?A. His friend introduced it to him. B. He knew it from a popular magazine.C. He talked with the librarys staff about it. D. He paid a visit to it only by accident. BA humpback, a kind of big whale, can weigh as much as 40 tons and reach 50 feet from nose to tail. That means they can easily overturn small boats and it can be a great trouble to anyone who jumps on the back of the animal.But that was just what Sam Synstelien did when he saw a humpback in trouble in Central Californias Morro Bay. The animal was hopelessly tangled (缠绕) in a rope that was attached to a buoy (浮标).Synstelien, along with his partner Nicholas Taron, had already tried reporting the poor animal to the U.S. Coast Guard - but they were told it would be hours before rescuers could come. Hours, the fishermen thought, this whale didnt have. “If we wanted the humpback to survive we had to go to get it,” Taron later said. “We thought there was no other choice for the whale; we decided to go for it. We were so excited then. I dont think we were that scared.”Its easy for Taron to say, of course. His role in the rescue was mostly in the cheering department. In the video, you can hear him shouting “Swim! Swim! Move! Just get it! Get it!” from the side of the boat while filming the entire rescue. “The humpback was just swimming in circles,” Taron said. “You could tell it was stressed and being held to the bottom.”The very agitated whale didnt take well to human intervention (介入) and even hit the boat with its huge tail with a lot of force. But Synstelien hung in there, and at last cut through the rope. And then with a sudden move, the humpback swam deep down beneath the waves. It wasnt much of a thank you, but Synstelien and Taron were happy.25. What did Synstelien and Taron do first when they found the humpback in trouble？A. They wrote a report about it. B. They asked for professional help.C. They guessed its size and weight. D. They decided to save it at once.26. What did Taron do in the rescue effort?A. He was cheering Synstelien on. B. He tried to control the humpback.C. He directed and recorded the rescue effort. D. He tried to remove the rope from the humpback.27. What does the underlined word “agitated” in the last paragraph mean?A. Sad and painful. B. Puzzled and brave. C. Stupid and impolite. D. Nervous and upset.C Heading off to college this year? Here are some fashion tips from our experts you should keep in mind：Dress to impress: Stylist and business consultant Daniela Smith says, “Girls should keep in mind that your college professors will often be the bridge that connects you to your future career and your classmates will become your professional network. You dont need to dress like youre going to the office, but you should display an ability to properly present yourself with appropriate maturity and confidence, and look puttogether.”Logo mania (品牌狂热症)：Wearing the logos of brands aimed at younger customers physically identifies you as part of that age group, so consider the targeted age group of the stores you shop at. Its tempting to load up on logos, especially wellknown logos that signify highend brands. But consider this: college is a time of selfdiscovery, a chance to develop your own personal style. Instead of wearing logos head to toe, “walking advertisement” style, why not express who you really are?Wear real pants: The combination of leggings and baggy shirts is all too common on college campuses. Smith points out that leggings, yoga pants, and sweatpants are entirely unacceptable in public unless youre exercising. Although leggings worn as pants are a common trend among high school and college girls, they are not an appropriate choice for daywear. As a young woman, your style choice should begin to reflect your maturity level. So, get rid of leggings and wear real pants!Keep the cute factor to a minimum: Stay away from sweaters and Tshirts with smiling animals, cartoon characters, or Hello Kitty on them. Sure, kittens might be cute, but theyre not doing you any favors in the style department. Dressing too cutesy (矫揉造作的) can take years off your look, and not necessarily in a good way!28. The second paragraph indicates the importance of _.A. impressing professors B. getting on well with classmatesC. creating a professional image D. dressing appropriately29. The author recommends wearing real pants because _.A. leggings and baggy shirts are too commonB. yoga pants and sweatpants are not so comfortableC. real pants can present you with appropriate maturityD. people like real pants better than the other pants30. Whats the writers attitude towards sweaters with animals on them?A. They make people look lovely.B. They are very fashionable these days.C. They will show youre an animal lover.D. They are not suitable for collegeaged students.31. In which magazine would you most likely find this passage?A. Business Week. B. Parents. C. Style. D. Travel & Leisure.DA day in the life of 18yearold David Lanster is full of typical teenage stuff: school, baseball practice and homework. And then he starts cooking. “Some nights Im up until 1: 00 a.m. making pies, or even later if were cooking beef,” said the student at Ransom Everglades High School in Florida, US.For the past year, Lanster and Kelly Moran, his classmate, have been hosting fancy dinner parties at Lansters parents home. Their meals have 17 courses and are all made by themselves. Their guests used to give them gifts to thank them until the pair decided to do something nice for charity. “We got some really great Miami Heat tickets, a nice watch, and many kitchen gadgets (小器具),” Lanster said. “But we wanted to make this something positive for people other than us.”Lanster and Moran focus on Common Threads, a charity that aims to teach kids in poor communities to cook and make healthy eating choices. The young cooks ask their guests to give however much they want as payment for their meals. It all goes to Common Threads because Lansters parents cover their food costs. After their last 12person event, Lanster and Moran gave $1,600 to the charity.Now, theyre taking their show out of the kitchen and on the road. They have started to organize private dinner parties with a similar model: the host pays for the ingredients, and the guests make a donation to a charity of their choice.Without formal training, Lanster said he had been interested in cooking since he helped his mom in the kitchen when he was very young. He learned how to cook by reading cookbooks and watching TV programs. Outside the kitchen, the two are busy preparing their college applications. Neither of them is sure what they will do in the future, but theyve promised their parents that they will leave professional cooking alone until they finish school.32. How is Lansters life different from other teenagers lives?A. He plans to become a professional chef.B. He plays baseball every day after school.C. He goes to a cooking school in his spare time.D. He holds dinner parties after a normal school day.33. What will Lanster and Moran usually do after a private dinner party?A. Receive thankyou cards from the guests.B. Visit the poor children at Common Threads.C. Ask the guests to donate money to the charity.D. Cover the food costs with the money collected.34. Which of the following about Lanster and Moran is TRUE?A. They received formal cooking training before starting their dinner parties.B. They hate going to school and trying to do something different.C. Theyve made up their minds to become professional chefs.D. Their way of giving to charity is different from others.35. Which of the following words can best describe Lanster and Moran?A. Ambitious. B. Generous. C. Creative. D. Optimistic.第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Perhaps you have heard the expression “When in Rome, do as the Romans do.” So when you want to do business in France, you have to get to know French culture, make marketing plans, and run your business by local laws._36_ The French take great pride in their language, so anyone who does not speak it may run the risk of being disrespected by his French colleagues or business partners.
