part of a taste of new zealand at the blair house, the presidents guesthouse. the event was hosted by usa chief of protocol, ambassador capricia marshall, and featured the new zealand ambassador to the united states, the right honorable michael moore.ambassador moore was also previously the prime minister of new zealand. new zealand is an island in the south pacific near austialia. its composed of, as ambassador moore joked, around 4.5 million people and 40 million sheep. it also has nice multi-cultural food and traditions, which the students experienced firsthand.the local students were joined by kids from the new zealand embassy and they all got their hands messy cooking some of the favorite dishes in new zealand. the menu included lamb chops, fish and chips, and a kiwi-style vegetarian mini-pie.the food was delicious and beautifully craftcd with some help from the blair house chief cooks and a special guest cooks from a new zealand-style restaurant in washington.for dessert, there were several delicious things to choose from. but what stood out from the rest was the pavlova, a treat made with fruit and others. not only was the pavlova nice to look at, but its also a dish with some controversy.peter macaulay, an adviser to the embassy of new zealand who attended with his two children, brianna and fraser, cheerfully explained why the pavlova was so controversial.named after a russian ballet dancer who visited the country in 1927, the pavlova was created by the new zealanders in honor of their special guest. the hullabaloo started when the dancer was honored with the same exact dish when she visited australia. ever since, a friendly competition has carried on over which country should take credit for originating the dessert.“we say that we did. and i would stick with our story!” said ambassador moore, when asked about the dish.a taste of new zealand was the fourth place in a series designed to highlight the unique cultures of select nations around the world. like previous events, it was fun, enlightening, and delicious!51.from the passage, we can infer that _.a. new zealanders each have more than 10 sheepb. raising sheep is a big

mobile phone unit. but the south korean company said operating profit for its mobile phone unit rose 18% from the previous three months, partly due to positive impact from adjustments of one-off (一次性的) expenses. samsung is the worlds biggest mobile phone maker and the figures came as the electronics giant reported a net profit of 7.57 trillion (万亿) for the first quarter, up from 7.3 trillion in the previous three months.the success of its galaxy range of smartphones has been one of the biggest drivers of samsungs growth in recent years.it helped the company defeat nokia as the worlds biggest phone maker in 2012. however, competition in the sector has been increasing, forcing manufacturers to lower their prices and hurting their profitability (利益率).at the same time, demand for smartphones in developed markets - which have been key drivers of growth of the sector so far - has also begun to slow.“this is further evidence that the global market for smartphones is maturing and the pace of growth samsung has enjoyed in recent years is slowing,” said andrew milroy, an analyst with consulting firm frost & sullivan.he added that “the company will have to look at introducing lower cost models in emerging markets to maintain the business.”for its part, samsung has been looking to dip into the emerging markets by launching low cost handsets there.however, it has been facing increased competition ahead as well, especially from chinese firms such as xiaomi, huawei and zte.55. the best title for the news report should be .a. the biggest phone maker b. a sale fall for samsung smartphonesc. measures to increase profits d. make full use of mobile phones56. the underlined word “emerging” in the passage means .a. carefully choosingb. never developing c. newly rising d.

lower their prices.c. nokia is the worlds biggest phone maker now.d. samsung has been taking measures to occupy the emerging markets.58. we can infer from the passage that . a. in a sense samsung electronics have an unclear future b. many laws are carried out to manage the samsung handsetsc. xiaomi, huawei and zte are all produced in south koreand. companies or individuals will not buy samsung electronics any more（2013安徽高考一轮单元检测）calthough many chinese students say that their knowledge of english grammar is good, most would admit that their spoken english is poor. whenever i speak to a chinese student they always say, “my spoken english is poor.” however, their spoken english does not have to remain “poor”! i would like to suggest that there may be some reasons for their problems with spoken english.first, they fail to find suitable words to express themselves due to a limited vocabulary. obviously the better answer is to expand their vocabulary. however, you can speak with a limited vocabulary, if your attitude is positive. others will follow you as long as you use the words that you know.second, they are afraid of making mistakes. sometimes they make mistakes when they are speaking because they are shy and nervous. yet students should remember that their goal should be fluency not accuracy. your aim in writing is to be accurate following the rules for grammar and using the right words and spelling them correctly. however, in speaking your aim is fluency. you want to get your message across, to talk to someone in english, as quickly and as well as you can, even though sometimes you may use a wrong word or tense, but it doesnt matter because the person you are speaking to will understand you and make allowances for any mistakes he hears.the third reason is that not enough attention is paid to listening. you have one mouth but two ears! all that hearing was necessary for you to start speaking. fourth, most chinese students are reactive rather than active language learners. instead of actively making use of opportunities to improve their spoken english they passively wait for speaking opportunities to come to them and wonder why their english always remains poor. if you have this active outlook, then you will see english opportunities wherever you go.if you do not use your english beyond the classroom you will forget that english you know. remember: use it or lose it. you can learn how to speak english better by speaking english more.59. what is most probably the writers purpose in writing the passage?a. to improve your written english.b. to improve your listening.c. to improve your spoken english.d. to improve your vocabulary.60. which of the following does the writer agree with according to the third paragraph?a. dont be fluent. just be accurate!b. dont be nervous, dont be shy. just write!c. dont be afraid of making mistakes. just speak!d. dont be shy, dont be fluent. just listen and write!61. the main idea of the last paragraph is possibly close to the meaning of “ ”.a. haste (仓促) makes wasteb. better late than neverc. pride goes before a falld. practice makes perfect62. the text is most probably taken from a .a. teachers diaryb. report on studyc. sports newspaperd. movie magazine（2014扬州高考阅读精练）dhabits are a funny thing. we reach for them mindlessly, setting our brains on auto-pilot and relaxing into the unconscious comfort of familiar routine. “not choice, but habit rules the unreflecting creatures,” william wordsworth said in the 19th century. in the ever-changing 21st century, even the word “habit” carries a negative meaning.so it seems contradictory to talk about habits in the same context as innovation (创新). but brain researchers have discovered that when we consciously develop new habits, we create parallel paths, and even entirely new brain cells, that can jump our trains of thought onto new, innovative tracks.rather than dismissing ourselves as unchangeable creatures of habit, we can instead direct our own change by consciously developing new habits. in fact, the more new things we try, the more creative we become.but dont bother trying to kill off old habits; once those procedures are worn into the brain, theyre there to stay. instead, the new habits we deliberately press into ourselves create parallel pathways that can bypass those old roads.“the first thing needed for innovation is attraction to wonder,” says dawna markova, author of the open mind. “but we are taught instead to decide, just as our president calls himself the decider.” she adds, however, that “to decide is to kill off all possibilities but one. a good innovational thinker is always exploring the many other possibilities.”“all of us work through problems in ways of which were unaware,” she says. researchers in the late 1960s discovered that humans are born with the ability to approach challenges in four primary ways: analytically, procedurally, collaboratively (合作地) and innovatively. at the end of adolescence, however, the brain shuts down half of that ability, preserving only those ways of thought that have seemed most valuable during the first decade or so of life.the current emphasis on standardized testing highlights analysis and procedure, meaning that few of us use our innovative and collaborative ways of thought. “this breaks the major rule in the american belief systemthat anyone can do anything,” explains m. j. ryan, author of the 2006 book this year i will and ms. markovas business partner. “thats a lie that we have preserved, and it fosters commonness. knowing what youre good at and doing even more of it creates excellence.” this is where developing new habits comes in. 63. brain researchers have discovered that .a. the forming of new habits can be guidedb. the development of habits can be predictedc. the regulation of old habits can be transformedd. the track of new habits can be created unconsciously64. which of the following statements most probably agrees with dawna markovas view?a. decision makes no sense in choices.b. curiosity makes creative minds active.c. creative ideas are born of a relaxing mind.d. formation of innovation comes from fantastic ideas.65. the purpose of the author writing this article is to persuade us .a. to give up our traditional habits deliberatelyb. to create and develop new habits consciouslyc. to resist the application of standardized testingd. to believe that old habits conflict with new habits(原创)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。federal regulators wednesday approved a
