You would think that so many suitably bachelors out there that any young Chinese woman could have her pick. But the fact is that there are many “Shengnv” in China. Media reports say there may be as many as 500,000 “Shengnv” in the capital.The term “Shengnv”, directly translated as “leftover women”, refers to ecudated women in their late twenties who are still single. Quite simply, “nv” means women and “sheng” means left over but, depending on how you look at it, “sheng” can also mean successful. Some believe that the phrase was invented as a play on words to mean that “Shengnv” is actually a positive way to portray being a single, successful woman.“Shengnv” are pioneers in modern day China. They are able to enjoy their success in big cities with very little restriction. They are aware of the pressure society puts on them to get married but they are all highly educated and financially independent therefore there is not an immediate need to find a husband to support them. Chinese people often think males should be higher in a relationship in every sense, including height, age, education and salary. This leads to a phenomenon in which A-grade men marry B-grade women, B-grade men marry C-grade women and C-grade men marry D-grade women. Only A-grade women and D-grade men cant find partners. Apparently, if you are an “A-grade” woman, finding a husband better than you (a must in Chinese culture apparently) is hard to do. These women are “leftover” because they are “too successful” and therefore have high standards when it comes to picking their lifelong partners. They are free and able to live independently, which was not so possible for previous generations. Right now it seems family guilt is the only real factor contributing to decreasing Chinas “Shengnv” population, as daughters give in to the demands of their families. As China rapidly modernizes, the term “Shengnv” may even develop into a wholly positive label.26. The underlined part in Paragraph 1 implies that Chinese young women _.A. will be picked up by single young men B. will become “Shengnv” in large numbersC. have a wide range of choices for husbands D. prefer to stay in the capital of the country27. Which of the following about “leftover women” is TRUE? A. They are educated in the capital. B. They are almost thirty years old. C. They prefer to be single women. D. They are successful in business.28. One reason for “Shengnv” not being in a hurry to have a husband is that they _. A. are pioneers in modern society B. have no restriction in life C. bear no pressure from society D. dont need to depend on others29. Why should Chinese husbands be higher in different senses than their wives?A. Because they cant find wives of higher grades.B. Because they have different education backgrounds.C. Because Chinese culture requires them to do so.D. Because men wont marry successful women.30. What conclusion can we make about “Shengnv” in the future?A. They may become positive images. B. They may become more successful.C. They will have higher standards for partners.D. They will ignore the demands of their families.BOn 2 September, 1666, the citizens of London woke to see the citys crowded wooden houses on fire. The fire started in a bakers shop in Pudding Lane in the early hours of the morning. By the time it burned out on 5 September around 13,000 buildings had been destroyed, including the original St Pauls Cathedral, 87 churches and 52 company halls. Between 65,000 and 80,000 people lost their homes, although thankfully only a handful were recorded as having been killed. The estimated cost of the fire was around 10 million pounds. Soon after the fire, several designs were put forward for the redevelopment of London, among them one from Wren, a favorite of King Charles II. A common theme was streets spreading out from the river and crossing with others running parallel to it. However, a lack of money to buy the land and the need to rebuild the city quickly ruined all his grand ideas. Instead, nearly 3,000 houses were built within the first three years, mostly back on the original layout.The task of getting London rebuilt was given to a committee of six men, including Wren. Their role was to manage surveys of ruined properties and consider the form and scale of new buildings, and any adjustments to the streets.The major roads were widened to reduce the risk of fires spreading in future. For the same reason, buildings were constructed largely from brick and stone instead of wood. Guidelines were also made for the height of houses and about how much wood could be used on the outside. There was even a new rule insisting on the use of downpipes, to stop problems with rainwater flowing down from gutters(拌水沟).Although others designed and rebuilt many properties in Lincoln after the Great Fire, Wren was the most productive architect. In total, he designed and supervised the construction of 52 churches, 36 company halls, two great hospitals and St Pauls Cathedral, all of which took 35 years to complete. Many of these still stand today. Wren was also one of the architects of the 62-meter-tall Monument, a memorial to the Great Fire which stands close to the site where it started.31. According to the passage, the fire in London _.A. lasted four days before it was out B. started in the wealthy neighborhoodC. broke out in the afternoon D. caused thousands deaths32. Wrens grand ideas to rebuild the city were ruined partly because .A. King Charles II didnt approve of it B. they were short of money to pay workersC. houses should be rebuilt in their formr place D. his design required more time than needed33. Which of the following measures helped prevent fires?A. All newly-built roads were widened. B. All new buildings were of the same height.C. A limited amount of wood was used. D. A large number of downpipes were used.34. What can be learned from the last paragraph? A. Wren designed most of the new buildings. B. It took 35 years to build St Pauls Cathedral.C. Today we can see some buildings designed by Wren.D. Two architects designed the 62-meter-tall Monument.35. Which is the best title for the passage?A. Works of a Great Architect B. The Great Fire of LondonC. Reconstruction of London D. Measures against Great FireCDeciding on a major is one of the most important choices that a college student makes. The first thing that you need to realize is that this decision is not final. Many high school students are worried about having to pick a major and place too much stress on it. They ask themselves, “How should I choose right now what I am going to do in the future?” The short answer is that you dont have to. The average college student changes majors at least three times. However, having an idea of what you want to do will give you a starting point and make the process much easier.First, start out with a general idea about what type of school you might want to attend. This could be a technical school, a broad liberal arts school, or a science-heavy school, For example, if you enjoy working with your hands and want specific training, a technical school could be good for you. lf instead you would rather study a wide range of topics and have a broad background, a liberal arts school would be a good choice. Doing this will make selecting a major easier.Next, consider your interests. If you know a specific career that you would like to go into, find out what majors would help you pursue that career. If you do not have a career in mind, you can approach it from the opposite direction. Go through potential majors and see if any area interests you. Then, look into possible careers associated with that major. Another thing to consider is that even after you get your degree, the average person makes at least three career changes during their lifetime. However, your skills from previous jobs will “carry over”. For example, you want to go into journalism, so you get a degree in communications with an emphasis in journalism. After being a journalist for three years, you decide you want to go into public relations. Your communications background and skillslearned from your previous job still enable you to purlieu the new career.36. Why do many high school students fear choosing a major?A. Because they dont know what choice to make.B. Because they dont want to change majors in college.C. Because they suffer from too much stress.D. Because they are afraid of their future.37. If you find that a technical school is good for you, you can _.A. decide what major suits you B. study a wide range of topicsC. choose your major more easilyD. get a broad education background38. Going through potential majors helps students find out _. A. what major may interest them B. whats good for success in careerC. what field they may be good at D. what school promises a good career39. It can be learned from the last paragraph that _.A. people change jobs in order to develop their skillsB. journalism and public relations share the same requirementsC. a degree in communications enables you to find a job easilyD. previous job experience will be useful in a new career40. The passage mainy helps us to _.A. choose future career B. decide on a major C. enter a good collegeD. learn about our potentialsDRaise your hand if youve had your Smartphone stolen. According to the Federal Communication Commission（FCC.）, the phone theft rate for the year 2013 is estimated to be about 369 per 100,000 individuals - with a higher rate in cities. The solution to that problem starts at home - with you. While 36 percent of Smartphone owners secure their phone with a four-digit code, just 11 percent used a code longer than four digits, a password, or an unlock pattern; fully a third of those surveyed took none of the listed security measures at all.Improved security can definitely help deter thefts. In cases where users set no password, its quite easy to erase a phone and turn it around on the black market. While simple four-digit pass codes can help slow that process down, they are mathematically much easier to crack(破解) than longer, more complicated passwords.Technological measures have agreeably begun in the making process: Apple, for example, introduced a feature which prevents someone from disabling the Find My iPhone service, erasing the device, or reactivating an erased device. In the six months after that update, thefts of iPhones decreased by around a quarter in New York, San Francisco and London. Were everybody to set a strong password on their devices - or were device makers to require users to set a passcode, rather than merely suggesting it - it would be considerably harder for thieves to resell those phones elsewhere. Though much as with cars, it wouldnt necessarily stop incidents where smart phones are taken apart. The FCC, is asking that device makers better educate consumers about the anti-theft measures available on their devices. Really, its a matter of common sense: just as you wouldnt leave your house unlocked - especially if you lived in an urban area you shouldnt walk around with an unprotected phone. Because these days, the amount of sensitive and personal information you keep in your phone may actually be more valuable than what you leave in your house. So, for your own sake, fire up that Smartphone and set a secure passcode, and do it right now.41. Which of the following can be the FCCs conclusion? A. More smartphones are stolen in cities than in the countryside. B. Smartphones should be put at home so that they wont be stolen.C. About 400 smart phones were stolen in cities in 2013. D. A four-digit code is the best way to secure your smartphone.42. What does the underlined word “deter” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A. Commit. B. Discourage. C. Investigate. D. Report43. If security measures are taken in the making process, _ A. it wont be possibly for stolen smart phonics to be soldB. users have to set a passcode before using a SmartphoneC. there will be fewer thefts of smartphonesD. the stolen smartphones will be almost useless44. We can know from the last paragraph that _.A. houses can usually be left unlocked in the countrysideB. people should buy more expensive smartphonesC. personal or valuable information shouldnt be kept in the smartphoneD. phone makers are expected to play their part in preventing phone thefts45. Whale is the purpose of the passage?A. To advise securing smartphones. B. To advertise an Apple product.C. To condemn smartphone thefts. D. To tell us the result of a survey.第二节 信息匹配（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。首先，请阅读以下旅行社对New Zealand 的旅游线路信息介绍：A.14Day New Zealand Highlighter From the North to the South.
