coffee shops? its been said that j.k. rowling wrote the harry potter books sitting in one in edinburgh.many people spend hours in these places enjoying a coffee as they work on their laptops(手提电脑). but if youre spending all day buying one expensive coffee after another and havent sold your first novel yet, the cost can really add up.for those who work outside of a traditional office or just want to take time out, theres a new place in london: a pay-per-minute cafe.you can linger for as long as you like in the ziferblat coffee shop. you just take a clock by the door to keep time. when you leave, you return it and pay the bill.the cost of hanging out, eating, working and meeting people in the place is 3 pennies per minute. the shops owner, ivan meetin, says, “everything is free except the time you spend here.”customers help themselves to coffee and cookies. they can also bring their own food while surfing(冲浪) the internet through free wifi.meetins customers clearly are not the kinds who rush work with a paper cup to drink from at their desks. some feel so much at home that they have to wash the dishes. the coffee shops atmosphere is relaxing and a bit informal. these coffee shops, where you pay for the time and not for the cup, have proved popular in russia. only time will tell if the british will warm to the idea.but id like to try it at least once. who knows i might even start writing my own novel. if coffee shops are good enough for j.k. rowling to spend quality time in, why cant i?28. what does the underlined word “linger” in para. 4 refer to?a. drinkb. eatc. workd. stay29. what can we infer about the ziferblat coffee shop?a. it is very popular among the british.b. its customers have to bring food by themselves.c. there are no waiters serving food to customers. d. customers spend less money there than in a traditional cafe.30. the main purpose of the passage is to .a. introduce a new coffee shopb. show the popularity of coffee shops.c. explain why the ziferblat coffee shop was openedd. compare pay-per-minute cafes with traditional ones31. whats the authors attitude towards the ziferblat coffee shop?a. supportive. b. interested. c. doubtful. d. worried.das the dollar continues to remain relatively weak against the euro, europe has largely remained expensive for most travelers from the us. however, with smart planning and a little bit of research it is still possible to travel in europe without spending a fortune. my experience is that travel should be more relaxing than tiring more of a joy than a job. if you have two weeks, i suggest only visiting one country, or even just one region(地区) within a country such as tuscany, provence, andalusia, burgundy, etc. this allows you to gain a greater understanding into the history, culture, and customs to experience some form of what we call cultural immersion(渗透). you can always explore the similarities and differences with close neighboring regions or countries. the british isles and ireland is one such cultural region, as are scandinavia, central europe, or the iberian peninsula. france has its own culture which is very different from other european countries, but you can include the border regions of belgium, germany, and spain as part of a trip.again, my experience traveling to europe for many years is that it is generally better not to attempt to see too much in the course of one trip. that way you truly appreciate your destination in a satisfactory way.32. why does the writer mention the places in the latter part of paragraph 2? a. to show that there are many places to visit in europe. b. to prove that he / she is familiar with many places in europe. c. to show that there are close neighboring regions for you to visit. d. to prove that many places arent worth a visit because they are similar.33. according to the passage, the writer _ when he / she is traveling. a. usually tries to make his / her time enjoyable b. doesnt feel relaxed after walking aroundc. often tries to visit as many places as possible d. doesnt care about how much money he / she will spend34. what does the writer emphasize in the passage? a. europe is really worth a visit for everyone. b. you shouldnt pay a visit to europe nowadays. c. visiting europe is too costly for people at present. d. you shouldnt visit many regions in europe at one time.35. the writer wrote the passage to _. a. show off b. give tips c. advertise d. ask for opinions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 causes 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.完形填空（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和d)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。“where are you?” the urgent voice demanded
