and shaky. it was the first time, after all. i drew the violin from my coat like a gun. it was here, in southampton, with trains rattling overhead, that i was about to declare myself. one moment i was part of the hurrying crowds, the next i stood nakedly apart, my back to the wall, my hat on the pavement before me, the violin under my chin. the first notes i played were loud and raw, like a hoarse declaration of protest, then they settled down and began to run more smoothly and to stay more or less in tune. to my surprise, i was neither arrested nor told to shut up. indeed, nobody took any notice at all. then an old man, without stopping, quietly dropped a penny into my hat as though to get rid of some guilty evidence. other pennies followed, slowly but steadily, dropped by shadows who appeared not to see or hear me. it was as though the note of the violin touched some tender nerve that had to be answered like a babys cry. when id finished the first tune there was a penny in my hat; it seemed too easy, like a confidence trick. but i was elated (情绪高昂的) now; i felt whenever i went from here this was a trick i could always live by.25. the underlined phrase “have a go” in paragraph 1

parents might have left it too late to buy the present their child really wants for christmas. every year there seems to be a certain popularity which sweeps across britain, whether through clever marketing or peer pressure (同龄人压力), so that practically every child in the country wants the same thing for christmas. of course, with thousands of parents trying to make their childs christmas, its quite easy for the most popular presents to get sold out before everyone can buy one. this leads to parents going to extraordinary lengths to find the desired gift. in past years, the most favored toys have included tracy island, from the “thunderbirds” tv series, and buzz lightyear, from the “toy story” film. this years must-have present is the nintendo wii, an indication that british children are becoming more and more technologically savvy (有见识的). other presents which are expected to top christmas wish-lists this year are several toys related to tv programs, such as popular science-fiction series “doctor who”, and pre-school sense “in the night garden”, as well as the main character from the “transformers” movie. as parents search shops and online stores for the gifts their children want, some people are cashing in. those who predicted the trends bought some of the top presents earlier in the year, and can now sell them for great profits online. special stock-check websites have been set up to warn parents as soon as a certain item becomes available anywhere. but with so many people signed up itll still be a race against time to buy the toys before they sell out again. some children will be disappointed on christmas morning, but lets hope that the chocolates, christmas dinner and the many other presents will make up for it.33. why some parents might have left it too late to buy the present their child really wants for christmas?a. they didnt care about the presents for their children.b. they didnt know what to buy for their children.c. they couldnt buy the desired present because they ran out quickly.d. they found the desired present was too expensive to afford.34. which favored toy is not mentioned in the passage?a. nintendo wii b. buzz lightyear c. tracy island d. thunderbirds35. if the children got disappointed towards their christmas, what should the parents do?a. replace the present with childrens favorite toy.b. comfort the children in other ways such as the chocolates, the christmas dinner.c. explain the reason why they didnt get the desired present.d. ignore their childrens feeling.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。 its a common experience: you log on to social media, only to find that you have been asked to share an advertisement. you then get some coupons (打折券) or lucky money. 36 if that ad has any false information in it, you may be fined along with the company, according to chinas new advertising law, which came into effect on september 1. the new law is thought to be “the strictest” in history. 37 companies cannot use “best” and “state-level” to describe their products, and photos and descriptions should be true to reality. if they disobey the rules, they will be fined up to 2 million yuan. 38 that means if your friends post or share an ad, they should also obey the law. the old advertising law had been in place for 20 years, while marketing has changed greatly, especially because of the internet. 39 but they have become one of the most important forms of advertising since then. its almost impossible for people to avoid them. with the change in the law, consumers can now skip pop-up ads. it means that pop-up ads should have “close” buttons that can clearly be seen so that they can be closed with a

in all ads, including pop-up ads and even wechat promotions.d. but now you should think twice before doing so.e. these rules apply not only to organizations, but also to individuals.f. this shows how much the government wants “to protect consumers rights.g. many experts welcome the changes, saying it will “change advertising in china”.第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节
