out new computers that make shopping carts more intelligent(具备智能的). they will help shoppers find paper cups or toilet soap, and keep a record of the bill.the touch-screen devices(触摸屏装置)are on show at the food marketing institutes exhibition here this week. “these devices are able to create value and get you around the store quicker,” said michael alexander, manager of springboard retail networks inc., which makes a smart cart computer called the concierge.canadian stores will test the concierge in july. a similar device, ibms “shopping buddy”, has recently been test-marketed at stop & shop stores in massachusetts. neither device tells you how many fat grams or calories are in your cart, but they will flash you with items on sale. the idea is to make it easier for people to buy, not to have second thoughts that maybe you should put something back on the shelf. “the whole model is driven by advertisers need to get in front of shoppers,” said alexander. “theyre not watching 30-second tv ads anymore.” people can use a home computer to make their shopping lists. once at the store, a shopper can use a preferred customer card to start a system(系统)that will organize the trip around the store. if youre looking for toothpicks, you type in the word or pick it from a list, and a map will appear on the screen showing where you are and where you can find them. the device also keeps a record of what you buy. when youre finished, the device figures out your bill. then you go to the checker or place your card into a self-checkout stand and pay. the new computerized shopping assistants dont come cheap. the buddy devices will cost the average store about $ 160,000, and the concierge will cost stores about $ 500 for each device.25the underlined word “they” (paragraph 1) refers to _. asupermarketsbshop assistantscshopping cartsdshop managers26which of the following is the correct order of shopping with computerized shopping carts? astart the system.bmake a shopping list.cfind the things you want.dgo to a self-checkout stand. aabdcbbacdcacbddbcad27we can learn from the last paragraph that _. aintelligent shopping carts cost a large sum of money bthe concierge is cheaper than the buddy devices cshop assistants with computer knowledge are well paiddaverage stores prefer the concierge to the buddy devices28what might be the most suitable title for the text?anew age for supermarkets. bconcierge and shopping buddy.cnew computers make shopping carts smarter.dtouch-screen devices make shopping enjoyable.ccompassion (同情) is a desire within us to help others. with effort, we can translate compassion into actions. an experience last weekend showed me this is true. i work part-time in a supermarket across from a building for the elderly. these old people are our main customers, and its not hard to lose patience over their slowness. but last sunday, one aged gentleman appeared to teach me a valuable lesson. this untidy man walked up to my register(收款机)with a box of biscuits. he said he was out of cash(现金), had just moved into his room, and had nothing in his cupboards. he asked if we could let him have the food on trust. he promised to repay me the next day. i couldnt help staring at him. i wondered what kind of person he had been ten or twenty years before, and what he would be like if luck had gone his way. i had a hurt in my heart for this kind of human soul, all alone in the world. i told him that i was sorry, but store rules didnt allow me to do so. i felt stupid and unkind saying this, but i valued my job. just then, another man, standing behind the first, spoke up. if anything, he looked more pitiable. “charge it to me,” was all he said. what i had been feeling was pity. pity is soft and safe and easy. compassion, on the other hand, is caring in action. i thanked the second man but told him that was not allowed either. then i reached into my pocket and paid for the biscuits myself. i reached into my pocket because these two men had reached into my heart and taught me compassion.29the aged gentleman who wanted to buy the biscuits _.ahoped to have the food first and pay later bforgot to take any money with him cpromised to obey the store rulesdcould not afford anything more expensive30which of the following best describes the old gentleman?akind and lucky bpoor and lonelycfriendly and helpful dhurt and disappointed31the writer acted upon the store rules because _.ahe wanted to keep his present jobbhe felt no pity for the old gentlemanche considered the old man dishonestdhe expected someone else to pay for the old man32what does the writer learn from his experience?awealth is more important than anything else.bexperience is better gained through practice. chelping others is easier said than done.dobeying the rules means more than compassion. d these days, it seems that almost all of us are too seriousmy older daughter often says to me, “daddy, youve got that serious look again” even those of us who are committed to(致力于) non-seriousness are probably too seriouspeople are frustrated and anxious about almost everything - being five minutes late, witnessing someone look at us wrong or say the wrong thing, paying bills, waiting in line, overcooking a meal, making an honest mistake - you name it, and we all lose perspective(理性看法) over it the root of being anxious is our unwillingness to accept life as being different, in any way, from our expectationvery simply, we want things to be a certain way but theyre not a certain waylife is simply as it isperhaps benjamin franklin said it best: “our limited perspective, our hopes and fears become our measure of life, and when circumstances dont fit our ideas, they become our difficulties” we spend our lives wanting things, people, and events to be just as we want them to be - and when theyre not, we fight and we suffer the first step in recovering from over-seriousness is to admit that you have a problemyou have to want to change, to become more easygoingyou have to see that your own anxiety is largely of your own creation - its made up of the way you have set up your life and the way you react to it the next step is to understand the link between your expectations and your frustration levelwhenever you expect something to be a certain way and it isnt, youre upset and you sufferon the other hand, when you let go of your expectations, when you accept life as it is, youre free a good exercise is to try to approach a single day without expectationdont expect people to be friendlywhen theyre not, you wont be surprised or bothered; if they are, youll be delighteddont expect your day to be problem-freeinstead, as problems come up, say to yourself, “ah, another barrier to overcome” as you approach your day in this manner youll notice how elegant life can berather than fighting against life, youll be dancing with itpretty soon, with practice, youll lighten up your entire lifeand when you lighten up, life is a lot more fun33why are people easily frustrated and anxious these days?abecause their children are disappointingbbecause they have to look serious in publiccbecause life is becoming a greater burdendbecause people have lost sensible judgment34according to benjamin franklin, what was the cause of over-seriousness?athe fact that peoples perspective, hopes and fears are limitedbthe fact that people cant change life itselfcthe fact that things fail to meet peoples expectationsdthe fact that circumstances turn out to be difficult35in what pattern is this article developed?aphenomenon, causes and solutionsbproblems, explanation and conclusioncexamples, causes and argumentsdphenomenon, analysis and conclusion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。 forgivenessto forgive is a virtue, but no one has ever said it is easy. when someone has deeply hurt you, it can be extremely difficult to let go of your hate. however, forgiveness is possible, and it can be surprisingly beneficial to your physical and mental health. people who forgive show less sadness, anger and stress and more hopefulness, according to a recent research. 36 try the following steps: calm yourself. 37 you can take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, or someone you love. dont wait for an apology. many times the person who hurt you does not intend to apologize. they may have wanted to hurt you or they just dont see things the same way. 38 keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean becoming friends again with the person who upset you. take the control away from your offender(冒犯者). rethinking about your hurt, gives power to the person who caused you pain. instead of focusing on your wounded feelings, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you. 39 if you understand your offender, you may realize that he or she was acting out of unawareness, fear, and even love. you may want to write a letter to yourself from your offenders point of view. dont forget to forgive yourself. 40 but it can rob you of your self-confidence if you dont do it. a. why should you forgive? b. how should you start to forgive?c. recognize the benefits of forgiveness. d. try to see things from you offenders angle. e. for some people, forgiving themselves is the biggest challenge. f. to make your anger die away, try a simple stress-management technique.g. if you wait for people to apologize, you could be waiting an awfully long time.第三部分 英语知识运用(共两节, 满分45分)第一节:完形填空(共20小题;每小题1.5分, 满分30分)阅读下面短文,
