We provide a collection of books for you.Biography When Salinger learned that a car park was to be built on the land, the middle-aged writer was shocked and quickly bought the neighboring area to protect it.

Red Wolf by Liza Marklund published by Atria Books Price: $25.99Short Stories She wants to say to him what she has learned, none of it in class.

You Are Free by Danzy Senna published by Riverhead Books Price: $14.99Humor Do your kids like to have fun? Come to Fun Times! Do you like to watch your kids having fun? Bring them to Fun Times! Fun Timess “amusement cycling” is the most fun you can have in the United States right now.

Happy And Other Bad Thoughts by Larry Doyle published by Ecco Price: $1521. If you want to know something about Salinger, you can buy the book published by _. A. Ecco B. Atria Books C.

Disney World workers C. parents with young children D. middle school teachers24. In which column of a newspaper could we find this passage? A. Politics. B. Entertainment. C. Sports. D. Science.B My house is made out of wood, glass and stone. It is also made out of software. If you come to visit, youll probably be surprised when you come in. Someone will give you an electronic PIN （个人身份号码）to wear. This PIN tells the house who and where you are. The house uses this information to give you what you need. When its dark outside, the PIN turns on the lights nearest you, and then turns them off as you walk away from them. Music moves with you too. If the house knows your favorite music, it plays it. The music seems to be everywhere, but in fact other people in the house hear different music or no music. If you get a telephone call, only the nearest telephone rings. Of course, you are also able to tell the house if you want something. There is a home control console (控制台), a small machine that turns things on and off around you. The PIN and the console are new ideas, but they are in fact like many things we have today. If you want to go to a movie, you need a ticket. If I give you my car keys, you can use my car. The car works for you because you have the keys. My house works for you because you wear the PIN or hold the console. I believe that ten years from now, most new homes will have the systems that Ive put in my house. The systems will probably be even bigger and better than the ones Ive put in today. I like to try new ideas. I know that some of my ideas will work better than others. But I hope that one day I will stop thinking of these systems as new, and ask myself instead, “How will I live without them?”25. What does the passage mainly discuss? A. How to develop a new system. B. The function of the PIN. C. A home for the future. D. Easy life in the future.26. Whats the purpose when the writer wrote the fourth paragraph? A. To let readers know why his ideas are new. B. To let readers know how special his house is. C. To explain the importance of the PIN and the console. D. To explain more easily what the functions of the PIN and the console are.27. The writers new house is different from ordinary ones mainly because _. A. it has been controlled by computers B. you can make a telephone call anywhere C. it has your favorite music following you D. the writer is able to change his new idea into practice28. What is the writer most likely to be according to the passage? A. An IT expert.B. A famous doctor. C. An idealist D. An experienced teacher. C As a human being you may have the choice of three basic attitudes towards life. You may treat life with the philosophy (哲学) of the vegetable, in which case your life will include being born, eating, drinking, sleeping, marrying, growing old and dying. The second basic attitude is to look at life as if it were a business. A great many so-called successful men and women believe that life is a business. If you believe so, your first question of life, naturally, is What do I get out of it? How much is this worth to me? In a word, based on this attitude, happiness becomes a matter of successful competition. The great majority of human beings today look at life as if it were a business. The third attitude toward life is the way of the artist. Here the basic philosophy is What can I put into it?. They value cooperation and contribution. This point of view has been proved by history; for history remembers best those who have contributed most richly to the interests of their fellow-men. The more we investigate(调查),the more we become certain that the artistic attitude is the only one which goes with human happiness. 29. From the passage we know people who take the second life attitude _. A. are mostly businessmen B. think of getting the interests (利益) first C. find their happiness from hard work D. take competition as their whole life 30. People who are best remembered by history are probably_. A. those living on vegetables B. successful men C. artists D. businessmen31. We may infer from this passage that _. A. some people are living only on vegetables B. the artistic attitude is accepted by most people C. the writer prefers the third life attitude D. artists do most for the society in order to be remembered longer than others DAn earthquake happens when two plates rub (碰撞) together. The earth plates travel in different directions and at different speeds. If one plate is slowly forced underneath the other, pressure builds up until the plates break apart. This process causes the ground to move. It is an earthquake. In other words, earth-quakes are the shaking of the earths surface caused by the earths rocky outer layer as a result of the energy stored within the earth. The strain within the rocks is suddenly released (释放). The damage an earthquake causes depends on where it is and the time it is happening. If an unpopulated region is struck, there will be low loss of life or property. If it hits a large city, there may be many in-juries and much destruction. Many of the areas at risk are largely populated now. Major earthquakes hitting those areas today could produce terrible damage. Actually, there are several million small earth-quakes every year. Large earthquakes such as the 1964 Alaskan quake that measured 9.2 on the Richter scale, cause millions of dollars in damage. In the last 500 years, millions of people have been killed by earth-quakes around the world including 240,000 in the 1976 Tangshan earthquake in China.A 60-second or less earthquake can cause devastation that continues for years after the first tremor (小震). In 1972, a series of severe earthquakes struck Managua, Nicaragua. Fifteen years later, the city still looked the way it had a week after the earthquake hit, because the country did not have the necessary money to rebuild it.The shaking of the earth is sometimes not the greatest disaster. It is in the ensuing fires and floods that often the greatest damage occurs. In the 1906 earthquake, it was the fires caused after it that did the majority of the damage. An earthquake can also destroy dams high above a city or valleys, causing floods to sweep down and sweep away everything in their path. 32. Which of the following is the main idea of the first paragraph?A. An earthquake comes from inside the earth. B. The earth has great energy in storage.C. How the earth plates move. D. How an earthquake happens.33. Which of the following is mentioned to show that an earthquake can kill too many people?A. The 1964 Alaskan quake. B. The 1976 Tangshan earthquake.C. The 1972 Managua earthquake. D. The 1906 earthquake.34. The underlined word “ensuing” in the last paragraph probably means _.A. causing too much heat and great damage B. causing many injuries and much destructionC. happening as a result of another event D. happening suddenly and unexpectedly35. By giving the example in Paragraph 4, the author wants to show that _.A. an earthquake doesnt last long B. the damage can last longC. people in Managua suffered too much D. Nicaragua is still a poor country 第2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。 We all regard receiving presents as a pleasant experience and yet it can be one of the most awkward(尴尬的) situations. It is often difficult to look pleased when you receive a gift which is entirely useless or the wrong size. 36 However, you have no right to change an article purchased just because it does not fit or is not to your liking. Worse still, the agreement on the sale is between the person who bought it and the shop. So you will have to tell your favorite aunt that the T-shirt does not fit. But an exchange is not always that simple because there has to be a good reason for it. 37 For example, if the buyer was told that a switch was voice operated and later found out it was not, then action could be taken. You would have the right to return it and get the money back. But if you are returning something, no matter what the reason is, you will be expected to have proof of purchase. If the receipt cannot be found, then it is possible to use another proof of purchase such as a credit card receipt. 38 Many big stores have a much more tolerant policy towards returns and see it as a gesture of goodwill to exchange goods without question. Stores including Marks & Spencer are well known for their “no argument” policy on returned goods. 39 So if a shop refuses to exchange the goods or to offer a refund(退款), the seller is likely to be within his legal rights unless there is something wrong with the goods. In that case, the boot is on the other foot. You have every right to demand a cash refund or a replacement, but only if you have returned it within a “reasonable” time. 40 Some shops and stores expect things to be returned within a week of purchase, while others may permit a much longer time limit. In any case if you return a thing after what is considered a “reasonable” time, then all you are legally entitled to is the cost of repair.A. It is unlike anything you would buy for yourself. B. If all of these have been lost, you may have to rely on a witness.C. However, shoppers should remember this is a privilege, not a right.D. Unfortunately, the law does not explain what is meant by “reasonable”. E. All you can do is exchange it after your friend or relative has gone home.F. Either the thing has to be broken or unsuitable for the job it was intended to do.G. You should make clear what your legal position is before returning goods to the shops.第三部分: 语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分） 第一节 完型填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑.
