The term has created a verb,“to Godwin,”as in,“You Godwined this discussion!”The mention of Godwins Law has come to be seen as a way to end an online discussion.Here is a complaint voiced by a forum user:It seems like Godwins law is becoming a real problem for any sort of discussion on the internet.Whenever Hitler,or Nazis,is brought up in a discussion,the discussion is then over and the poster who mentioned the subject is laughed at.This would be a problem if people mention Godwins law when the Hitler/Nazi mention is relevant to the topic at hand.25.What will certainly happen according to“Godwins Law”if the online discussion is lengthened?A.The debaters will maintain their justice. B.The debaters will mention Hitler or Nazis.C.The debaters will earn a place in the forum.

D.A way of creating words.CI felt like I had clicked my heels three times and come to a country away from home every morning as I walked through the doors at the Embassy of Australia in Washington.Musical Aussie accents,and Aboriginal art exhibits made me wonder if I had entered without a visa.In fact I was a temporary employee,a public affairs unpaid intern（实习）for three months during the summer in order to engage myself in the culture of the country where I planned to study the next spring.During the summer I read the Australian news every day.Working at the embassy allowed me to escape the U.S. for six hours per day and learn about what was going on across the planet.After reading the daily Australian and U.S. news I usually helped prepare a PowerPoint presentation for school kids who visited the embassy as part of a school activity.Depending on whether an embassy event was going on,I would attend weekly meetings to listen in on planning and see what I could do to help.Usually there were smaller tasks to be done such as creating visitors guides. The most fantastic event in which I participated was the visit of the Australian prime minister.As the only American among countless Australian media and staff,I felt comfortable and was kept busy taking pictures and recording door-stop interviews at famous sites such as the Capitol.As an intern,you will not be exposed to top-secret information,but you are on the inside when it comes to special events.Government work is a useful addition to ones experience.As an embassy employee you will gain invaluable knowledge while spending your summer in a culturally diverse workplace.28.What is the author talking about?A.Her embassy internship.B.Her trouble in finding a job.C.Her foreign culture experience.D.Her preparation for future employment.29.Why was the author in the Embassy of Australia for three months?A.To apply for a visa.B.To prepare to study in Australia.C.To record musical Aussie accents.D.To appreciate Aboriginal art exhibits.30.What was the author forbidden to do when the Australian prime minister visited America?A.Record door-stop interviews.B.Know top-secret information.C.Take pictures of special events.D.Stand among the Australian staff.31.What can we infer about her daily routine at the Embassy?A.It is tiring.B.It is boring. C.It is exciting.D.It is relaxing.DUggs（雪地靴）are certainly ugly,or at least inelegant.The shapeless boots,pulled on in a hurry,can make anyone look like a slob（粗汉）,which has made them the target of disrespect.It hasnt been hard to find someone strongly condemning them.“Ugg boots are not sexy”,the Independent declared in 2003,“unless youre Mrs.Bigfoot on a lone mission across Antarctica to find Mr.Bigfoot.”When wearing the boots,a writer of The Gloss complained,“theres nothing to indicate that you dont have square,horrible shoe boxes in place of human feet.”In 2015,one coffee shop on Brick Lane in east London even banned Ugg-wearers.And yet,over the years,plenty of strange and unattractive shoes have met with the approvalof the fashion establishment.The problem with Uggs wasnt that they were ugly;its that they were common.But a funny thing happened on the way to fashions tomb:the universal Ugg has not gone anywhere.Uggs have quietly stayed here since their best time.Once you start paying attention, youll be shocked to discover how many people are still wearing them.They are worn by mothers in town and in the country,by teenagers on Saturday shopping trips and by people in fashion.Perhaps the secret of Uggs unstoppable success is that,if there is a dividing line between public appeal and private style,it might be a pair of cosy boots.They are certainly comfortable,soft and warm,as if your feet were in the hugging of someone who really loves you.At $150 a pair, they are neither cheap nor entirely out of range.They are casual and indulgent（任性）.Somehow Uggs,the boots that so many people hate,have managed to challenge the cruel logic of the fashion cycle and carry on whether you approve of them or not.32.What is the best title of the passage?A.Uggs Refuse to Die.B.Uggs Have Existed So Long.C.Uggs Enter the Fashion Circle.D.Uggs Have Gone Somewhere.33.Why does the author quote many magazines words in the first paragraph?A.To prove Uggs toughness.B.To prove Uggs popularity.C.To prove peoples approval.D.To prove peoples condemning.34.What does the author think very strange?A.Uggs are very common.B.Uggs stay there regardless.C.Uggs are worn by teenagers.D.Uggs are inelegant and ugly.35.What is the secret to the success of Uggs according to the passage?A.They are very cheap.B.They own private style.C.They have public appeal.D.They are very comfortable.笫二节（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。How I trained myself to get up earlierI am not what you would call a morning person.Im a writer.But getting up early has become really important for me.These are the techniques that I used to follow to learn to get up earlier: 36 In my case it is 6 am so that I could do a couple of hours,write my blog and catch up my email before everyone else started work.Promise myself a reward.I always wanted to learn shooting so I promised myself I would book a days shooting if I got up early for a month.Get clothes,computer and breakfast ready the night before. 37 Alarms.I set my bedside alarm for 06:00.I also set my telephone to ring at 06:05 but I put the phone on the other side of the room so that I have to get out of bed to stop it ringing.Naps（打盹）and earlier nights.Sleep is like money in the bank.If you overdraw by getting up early,you have to pay in some other time. 38 Also,in the long run,going to bed an hour or so earlier meant that I was getting the right amount of sleep.Talk big widely about your new early-birdiness. 39 My friend Stuart says “We are the stories we tell about ourselves.”If I describe myself as a punctual,early-rising,efficient robot maybe thats what Ill become.To cut a long story short.It worked!I wake up at six,feel fresh and jump right out of bed without any alarms. 40 A.This technique works every time.B.Decide what time I wanted to get up.C.Initially,I did this by having short naps after lunch.D.None of these is rocket science,but they are worth sharing.E.It makes you
