He worked in a factory and every day he got a little money. Hard work made him thin and weak. He wanted to borrow a lot of money to learn to paint pictures, but he did not think he could pay off the debts.One day a lawyer said to him, “One thousand dollars, and here is the money.”As Hobbs took the package of notes, he was very dumbfounded. He didnt know where the money came from and how to spend it. He said to himself, “I could go to find a hotel and live like a rich man for a few days; or I give up my work in the factory and do what Id like to do: painting pictures. I could do that for a few weeks, but what would I do after that? I should have lost my place in the factory and have no money to live on. If it were a little less money, I would buy a new coat, or a radio, or give a dinner to my friends. If it were more, I could give up the work and pay for painting pictures. But its too much for one and too little for the other.”“Here is the reading of your uncles will(遗嘱)”，said the lawyer, “telling what is to be done with this money after his death. I must ask you to remember one point. Your uncle has said you must bring me a paper showing exactly what you did with his money, as soon as you have spent it.”“Yes, I see. Ill do that，” said the young man.1Hobbs wanted to borrow money to _.A. learn to paint pictures B. work abroadC. pay off the debts D. study abroad2What does the underlined word “dumbfounded”(in Paragraph 2) probably mean?ASatisfied BFrightened CSurprised DExcited3With the money he got, at first Hobbs _.Aplanned to have a happy life for a few daysBdecided to give up his work in the factoryCwas to give a dinner to his friendsDhad no idea what to do4Hobbs was asked to _.Atell the lawyer what was to be done with the moneyBread his uncles willCtell the lawyer what he did with the money after spending itDbuy some picturesBIn ancient Egypt, a shopkeeper discovered that he could attract customers to his shop simply by making changes to its environment. Modern businesses have been following his lead, with more tactics（策略）.One tactic involves where to display the goods. Foe example, stores place fruits and vegetables in the first section. They know that customers who buy the healthy food first will feel happy so that they will buy more junk food later in their trip. In department stores, the womens shoe section is generally next to the womens cosmetics(化妆品) section：while the shop assistant is going back to find the right size shoe, bored customers are likely to wander over cosmetics they might want to try later. Besides, businesses seek to appeal to customers senses. Stores notice that the smell of baked goods encourages shopping, so they make their own bread each morning and then fan the bread smell into the store throughout the day. Music sells goods, too. Researchers in Britain found that when French music was played, sales of French wines went up. When it comes to the selling of houses, businesses also use highly rewarding tactics. They find that customers make decisions in the first few seconds upon walking in the door, and turn it into a business opportunity. A California builder designed the structure of its houses smartly. When entering the house, the customer would see the Pacific Ocean through the windows, and then the pool through an open stairway leading to the lower level. The instant view of water on both levels helped sell these $10 million houses.5. Why do stores usually display fruits and vegetables in the first section? A. To save customers times. B. To show they are high quality foods. C. To sell them at discount prices D. To help sell junk food.6. According to Paragraph 3, which of the following encourages customers to buy? A. Opening the store early in the morning. B. Filling the store with the smell of fresh bread C. Inviting customers to play music. D. Displaying British wines next to French ones.7. What is the California builders story intended to prove? A. A good first impression increases sales B. The more expensive the house is, the better it sells. C. An ocean view is much to the customers taste. D. The house structure is a key factor customers consider.8. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To show dishonest business practices. B. To report researches on customer behavior. C. To introduces how businesses have grown from the past. D. To explain how businesses turn people into their customers.

If you had attended a winter activity in New York a few years ago, you would have seen a whole polar bear club. These Polar Bears are people who meet frequently in the winter to swim in freezing cold water. That day, the air temperature was 3, and the water temperature was a bit higher. The members of the Polar Bear Club at Coney Island, New York are usually about the age of 60. Members must satisfy two requirements. First, they must get along well with everyone else in the group. This is very important because there are so many different kinds of people in the club. Polar Bears must also agree to swim outdoors at least twice a month from November through February.Doctors do not agree about the medical effects of cold-water swimming. Some are worried about the dangers of a condition in which the bodys temperature drops so low that finally the heart stops. Other doctors, however, point out that there is more danger of a heart attack during summer swimming because the difference between the air temperature and water temperature is much greater in summer than in winter. The Polar Bears themselves are satisfied with the benefits (or advantages) of cold-water swimming. They say that their favorite form of exercise is very good for the circulatory system（循环系统）because it forces the blood to move fast to keep the body warm. Cold-water swimmers usually turn bright red after a few minutes in the water. A person who turns blue probably has a very poor circulatory system and should not try cold-water swimming.The main benefits (or advantages) of cold-water swimming are probably mental. The Polar Bears love to swim year-round; they find it fun and relaxing. As one 70-year-old woman says. When I go into the water, I pour my troubles into the ocean and let them float away.12. The members of the Polar Bear Club must meet the following requirements except that_. A. they must reach the age of 60 B. they should be easy to make friends with C. they must swim outdoors at least 8 times in the four cold monthsD. they must agree to swim outdoors from November through February13.

A. encourage people to take part in cold-water swimming actively B. point out the possible danger of blood illness during cold-water swimmingC. believe swimming is helpful both in winter and in summerD. have different ideas about the medical effects of cold-water swimming14.

A. they can remain young B. it is an easy way to keep the body warm in winterC. they find it enjoyable and interesting D. they might meet fewer troubles in life15. The passage is mainly about _. A. a group of cold-water swimming lovers B. the polar bears life C. doctors ideas about cold-water swimming D. the requirements of the Polar Bear Club 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑，选项中有两项为多余选项。Tips for Cooking on a Tight ScheduleFrom my experience, there are three main reasons why people dont cook more often: ability, money, and time. 16 .
