fed up with waiting in endless lines to pay for what you have bought? angry at wasting time in traffic jams only to find no parking spaces when you eventually arrive at the store? if this is you, then online shopping is the answer to your dreams of trouble-free shopping. or is it?online shopping brings its own challenges. here are a few things to bear in mind when browsing (浏览) various websites. the claim made by online sites is that shopping online is a safe and secure way to make purchases. the evidence challenges this. in any case, you only have to be the victim of fraud (诈骗) once to experience all the problems that come with this form of stealing. use only sites that have a trusted history and an excellent reputation.another problem is the appearance of items in reality is often quite different from what you see on your computer screen. this might not be a problem if you are buying washing up powder but could be a major disappointment when that beautiful blue dress you ordered turns up in green. also, product descriptions are sometimes simply untrue. perhaps the wisest plan is to purchase items where design and color are not essential to customer satisfaction.some even argue that online shopping indirectly contributes to global warming. yes, your car can stay parked but how are online goods delivered? often by some large vans pouring out carbon monoxide and adding to our already desperate traffic problems. you are also by now becoming increasingly irritated (使烦恼) by the fact that the delivery is late and you have wasted the leave from work you have taken to receive it!without question, online shopping is here to stay and it has its benefits. however, perhaps it is not as wonderful as some of its supporters claim it to be.9. the author lists several questions in para. 1 to .a. support online shopping b. collect answers from readersc. show his dislike of going shopping d. introduce the topic of the passage10. by what can online shoppers avoid fraud?a. using only trusted websites. b. choosing big websites.c. collecting shopping evidence.d. seeking advice from the police.11. the author agrees with the fact that _.a. customers are never satisfied with productsb. online shopping is a safe way to make purchasesc. online shopping has nothing to do with global warmingd. delivery delay often makes online shoppers unhappy12. what is the authors attitude towards online shopping?a. very popular. b. a wise choice. c. not trouble free. d. a waste of time. d when luca first heard of the island of inventions, he was still very young. but its wonders sounded so incredible that they were forever burned in his memory. from that moment, he never stopped searching for clues which might lead him to the island. he read hundreds of adventure books, histories, volumes of physics and chemistry, even music.over time, he pieced together his idea of what the island of inventions was like. it was a secret place, where all the great wise men of the world would meet to learn and invent together. access to the island was totally restricted. to join, you had to have created some great invention for humanity. only then could you receive the special invitation which came with directions to the island.so luca spent his youth studying and inventing. every new idea he got, he made it into an invention, and if there were something he didnt understand, hed seek others to help him. soon he met other young inventors and he told them about the island of inventions. they too dreamed of one day receiving an invitation letter. as years passed, the disappointment of not receiving their invitation made luca and his friends work harder and co-operate more. they would meet in lucas house, share their ideas and build new machines. their inventions became known throughout the world, and improved the lives of millions. but still, no invitation came.they didnt lose heart. they continued learning and inventing every day, trying to come up with more and better ideas. fresh young talent joined their group, as more inventors dreamed of getting to the island. one day many years later, luca, already very old, was speaking with a brilliant young man named roberts, who had written to him, asking him to join the group. luca started telling the man of the wonderful island of inventions, and of how he was sure that some day they would receive an invitation. surprised, the young inventor interrupted: “you mean this place isnt the island of inventions? isnt the letter you sent me the real invitation?” it was only then that luca realised that his dream had become true in his very own house. no island could exist which would be better than where he was now. no place of invention would be better than what he and his friends had created. luca felt happy to know that he had always been on the island, and that his life of invention and study had been a truly happy one.13. why did luca and his colleagues probably never receive an invitation to the island?a. their ideas were not considered worthy enough.b. they were too concerned with acquiring fame.c. the organization had already broken up.d. the island was not a real place.14. what did luca learn at the end of the story?a. the island of inventions did not exist. b. he had wasted most of his life.c. he had unknowingly built his own dreamland.d. he finally would receive his invitation.15. which of the following best describes luca?a. aggressive.b. trusting. c. creative.d. easy-going.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。. my mother is a diligent and kind woman. she is very busy from morning till night. as a teacher, she works hard. 16 both my brother and i love her dearly as she loves us.my mother has been teaching math at a middle school in my hometown. she goes to work early in the morning and does not return home until late in the afternoon. 17 she treats them with patience and teaches them well. for her excellent quality and very good teaching results, she has been elected as a model teacher several times.18 every day, when she comes back home from work, she sets about doing housework, sweeping the living room and bedrooms or cleaning the furniture, and putting everything in good order. she seems to be busy all the time. as she has been very busy working every day, she looks older than her age. but she looks as cheerful and happy as ever. mother never buys expensive dresses for herself, but she often buys some inexpensive but high quality clothes for us. 19 she just eats a plain meal outside when she is too busy to cook herself. she lives a busy yet simple life, without any complaints.often she says to us, “work while you work, and play while you play. that is the way to be happy and gay. if you do not work, you will become lazy and be of no use to society”. what a piece of good advice this is! 20 this advice of hers will always serve as a guide to my behavior. my mother is great indeed, and i always feel proud of her.a. she enjoys listening to classic music.b. as a mother, she takes good care of us and gives us every comfort.c. she loves her students and cares for them.d. she never goes to expensive restaurants to enjoy meals.e. my mother is hard-working and never wastes money.f. i never forget it and always bear it in my mind.g. can you tell us something about your mother?第二部分 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，掌握其大意，然后从16-35各题所给的四个选项（a、b、c和d）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。i often read of incidents of misunderstanding or conflict. im left 21 .why do these people create mistrust and problems, especially with those from other 22 ?
