though goo goo clusters may not be as familiar as kit kat or hershey bars, people of all ages have enjoyed it for an entire century.in 1901, a 19-year-old named howell campbell opened a candy store in nashville, tennessee. he made all kinds of sweets and hard candies with just two copper kettles and about a dozen employees. then, in 1912, he made the first candy to combine chocolate with other ingredients such as caramel, marshmallow, nougat, and peanuts. originally, these clusters were hand-wrapped and sold under the counter at a few local stores with a sign reading,“a nourishing (滋养的) lunch for a nickel.” now, they are known as goo goo clusters. what else makes a goo goo so special?“in addition to it being the very first-ever combination confection created, its shape also makes it quite unique, says beth sachan, goo goo clusters senior marketing manager.“the goo goo cluster is a big, imperfectly round mound (垛) of deliciousness!”the 100th anniversary of the goo goo cluster is being celebrated throughout the month of october, the biggest candy-selling month of the year. about 40 restaurants in the nashville area have created unique desserts inspired by goo goo clusters to serve to their customers.additionally, a goo goo-sponsored race called the “jogn hog” was held in nashville on october 13. adults and children ran three miles to the finish line after eating at least one of six goo goo clusters from a bag they were given at the halfway point. a golden goo goo was hidden in one of the bags. the winner received a $100 gift certificate to the candys website, googoo. com. 28. we can learn from the first paragraph that goo goo clusters _. a. have been popular with the customers b. will be sold out by this halloween c. look like kit kat and hershey bars d. are much better than other candies29. the underlined word “confection” probably means _. a. ingredient b. candy c. food d. deliciousness30. the customers would like to enjoy goo goo clusters probably because of _. a. its weight and combination b. its package and design c. its fair price and low cost d. its shape and deliciousness31. the 100th anniversary of the goo goo cluster is being celebrated by _. a. offering specially designed desserts b. giving away many gift certificates c. opening a lot of restaurants d. holding a competition of eating candiesdlove to sink into your chairs and relax when you get to school? then you will not be happy to hear that schools all over the world are seriously considering exchanging traditional desks for ones with no seats at all yes, that means you will be encouraged to stand through those already too long math and science lessons! why would anyone even think of putting kids to such cruelty? experts say it improves their health and helps fight obesity. while that may seem a little far-fetched (牵强的) the officials at the few schools around the world seem to agree.among them are educators from the college station independent school district in texas, who recently completed a week-long experiment involving 480 students across three elementary schools. the 374 kids that agreed to participate in the study were provided a device that helped record step count and calorie consumption over the entire period.all 25 teachers involved in the study reported that students appeared to be more alert and concentrate better, when allowed to stand. the one thing that did surprise the researchers was that younger kids were more willing to stay standing than kids in higher grades. they believe this may have something to do with the fact that after years of being asked to “sit still”, older kids have a harder time adjusting to this unexpected freedom.american schools are not the only ones reporting success with stand-up desks. four catholic schools in perth, australia, which have been testing them since october 2013, have seen similar results. in may 2014, grove house primary school in bradford, west yorkshire, became europes first test one, with a seven-week trial that involved the use of desks made by ergotron in their fifth-grade classrooms. while official results are not out yet, early reactions from both teachers and students, have been extremely encouraging.the findings of these studies and others done previously, all seem to mean that allowing kids to move around in classrooms is a win-win for students and teachers it helps kids get healthier and provides educators with a more engaged audience.32. according to the first paragraph, what may make the students at school unhappy is that _.a. they have to exchange desks with each otherb. they have to exchange traditional desks for ones with no seatsc. there are no seats for them to sit in classd. the officials show no sympathy to them at all33. according to the teachers, older students may not like stand-up desks because _.a. they are cleverer than younger students b. they are easily tired of standing longc. they have formed the habit of sitting d. they do badly in class while standing34. what is most likely to be the result of the seven-week trial? a. the standing desks cant be used at all.b. it is good for students to use stand-up desks.c. more tests should be done in other schools.d. the students are different in personality.35. why do the teachers like the standing desks? a. because the educators can draw the students attention.b. because the teachers can keep the students healthy.c. because the students can have a walk in the classroom.d. because the standing desks can keep the students concentrated.第二节（共5小题； 每小题3分， 满分15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。it is necessary to be reasonable and flexible enough to avoid conflicts as much as possible and live in peace with others. 36 if you have done all your best to avoid conflicts and you are still arguing, then read these effective tips on how to avoid conflicts.dont get in the center of the conflict.sometimes people can get in the center of conflicts due to their enthusiasm for offering help. frankly speaking, it is very unwise, because it can make you the main figure of the conflict. 37 you should focus on your own life issues.be kind. 38 life is full of conflicts and disagreements, thats why you should find more conservative ways of dealing with them. for example, kindness can lessen the conflict.try to be a peacekeeper.peacekeepers tend to cooperate with people without bad emotions which usually lead to arguments and even conflicts. 39 ” this saying is the life motto of a natural-born peacekeeper. dont worry if you are not a natural-born peacekeeper; you can gain this skill during life.walk off.when the conflict is gathering pace and you cant manage to control yourself, you should choose to handle the situation in another way. by all means, try to keep yourself away from stress. 40 you should get away from the situation for a while.a. conflicts are unavoidable, so try to accept them.b. the greatest victory is a battle not fought.c. it is helpful to put some distance between yourself and the opponent.d. let other people solve their problems without your presence.e. weak people usually desire others to offer help and support.f. arguing can either break your friendship or affect your relationship to some degree. g. when someone pushes you to the limit, try to act kindly towards this person.第三部分 英语知识应用（共两节，满分55分）第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（a、b、c和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。there are many principles and values all people live by. the 41 that i live by is honesty. i have always been taught that lying will just get me into more trouble than i might already be 42 . being honest is a 43 all people need to have and use to go 44 in life.ever since i was a little kid, my parents have 45 me to be honest 46 it is the right thing to do. as i got 47 , i realized something very important that could 48 the way people take me to be a person. if just once you stop being honest and tell a lie it will 49 change peoples opinion of you and their whole way of acting 50 you. when you tell a lie you lose that persons 51 forever or have to work your whole life to get it back. it is my personal 52 to achieve great things in life and honesty willsurehelp me get there. for me right now losing somebodys trust would be a truly 53 thing. whatever you do for a living or 54 you live, honesty is something important for all of us.honesty gets you much higher in life than getting into more 55 like lying would. lying can 56 get you into trouble dealing with the government. honesty is just as important to me as my family. already, i know it is something that will 57 my future and my relationship with all people. it is something about myself that i hope to never 58 no matter what happens. most of all honesty will help me no matter whether im at school, home or just 59 with friends. it is something 60 i hope my children will also have and appreciate.41.a. professionb. lawc. careerd. contract42.a. inb. intoc. ond. onto43.a. characterb. qualityc. personalityd. speciality44.a. slowlyb. downc. fastd. far45.a. advisedb. madec. taughtd. ordered46.a. in caseb. so thatc. althoughd. because47.a. olderb. elderc. strongerd. taller48.a. acceptb. ensurec. changed. exchange49.a. possiblyb. totallyc. hardlyd. nearly50.a. likeb. towardc. againstd. forward51.a. confidenceb. hopec. interestd. trust52.a. arrangementb. intentionc. goald. purpose53.a. horribleb. fascinatingc. unacceptabled. surprising54.a. whereverb. wheneverc. whicheverd. whomever55.a. questionsb. problemsc. accidentsd. incidents56.a. surelyb. easilyc. evend. still57.a. breakb. impro
