shopping? or does the thought of wandering round the shops fill you with terror? for some of us，shopping is an enjoyable way of spending our spare time and our money. for meits something i would rather avoidthank goodness for the internet! its more convenient to buy cds，electrical items，even food，from the comfort of your sofabut thats not the only reason：price is an important factorwe can buy goods and services cheaper online. but sometimes the problem is knowing what to buythis has led to a type of shopping called “showrooming”showrooming is something ive donei will go to a shop to see，touch and try out products but then go home and buy them online at a knock-down priceim not alone in doing thisresearch by a company called foolproof，found 24of people showroomed while christmas shopping in 2013amy cashman，head of technology at tns uk，says the reasons for this new shopping habit are that “people are lacking time，lacking money and they want security about the products they are buying”she explains that consumers are not only shopping online at home but they are using the internet in store or on their smartphones to shop aroundbut does this mean technology will kill shops? certainly shops will changethey will have to offer more competitive prices or encourage people to buy more by giving in-store discounts or free giftswe mustnt forget that buying in a shop means you can get expert advice from the sales assistant and you can get good aftercareits good to speak to a real human rather than look at a faceless computer screen but at least by showrooming，you get the best of both worlds!21what does showrooming mean in the text?atrying in shops and buying online bshowing products in a roomcbuying something in a store dshopping on the internet22what can be inferred from paragraph 4 ?aonline shops will disappear bfree gifts will surely promote salescshops need necessary changes dshops will be replaced by online shops23the authors attitude towards showrooming is acritical bneutral csupportive dcasualb march 21 has been declared world sleep day, a time to recognize and celebrate the value of sleep . many sleep experts hope it will be a wake-up call. according to a 2014 poll(民意调查) by the national sleep foundation, nearly 4 in 5 americans dont get as much sleep as they should during the workweek. on average, adults are thought to need at least eight hours of sleep a night, although some can manage with less and some wont do well without more. but the survey found that, on workdays, only 21% of americans actually get a full eight hours of sleep , and another 21% get less than sixto many of us, the thought of spending more time sleeping is ,well, a big yawn . on the other hand, the thought of being smarter, thinner, healthier and more cheerful has a certain appeal. and those are just a few of the advantages that can be ours if we consistently get enough sleep, researchers say. also on the plus side: were likely to have better skin, better memories better judgment , and, oh, yes ,longer lives when you lose even one hour of sleep for any reason, it influences your performance the next day, said dr alon avidan , director of the ucla sleep disorders center. a study published last year found the same to be true even of children. when kids aged 8 t0 12 slept for just one hour less for four nights, they didnt function as well during the day. but sleeping has an image problem we see napping or steeping as lazy, said jennfer vriend, a clinical psychologist in ottawa, canada, and the leading author of the study with children we put so much emphasis on diet, nutrition and exercise. sleep is in the back seat. in fact, she added, no matter how much we work out, no matter how well we eat, we cant be in top physical shape unless wealso get plenty of sleep 24. the underlined part in paragraph i means_.a. to wake up the sleepers b. to serve as a morning callc .to draw peoples attention d. to declare the special day25. from paragraph 3 we can infer that_.a. being healthier is one of the advantages for usb. sleeping has nothing to do with ones expectationsc. enough sleep is the guarantee（保证） of the appealing thingsd. spending more time on sleeping is a waste of time26. what jennifer vriend said in the last paragraph implies that_.a. people care little about sleeping b sleeping is an image problemc. lazy people tend to sleep long d. sleeping is only part of our life27. what is the purpose of the passage?a. to talk about peoples sleeping problems b. to provide an investigation result of sleepingc. to stress the function of sleeping at nightd. to arouse（引起） the awareness of enough sleepingc french surgeons have performed what they said on wednesday was the worlds first partial face transplant（移植）- giving a new nose, chin and lips to a woman attacked by a dog. specialists from two french hospitals carried out the operation on a 38-year-old woman on sunday in the northern city of amiens by taking the face from a brain-dead woman, who had hanged herself just hours before the operation. her family agreed on the operation. “the patient is in an excellent state and the transplant looks normal,” the hospitals said in a brief statement after waiting three days to announce the pioneering surgery. the woman had been left without a nose and lips after the dog attacked her last may, and was unable to talk or chew properly. such injuries are “extremely difficult, if not impossible” to repair using normal surgical techniques, the statement said.the statement did not say what the woman would look like when she had fully recovered, but medical experts said she was unlikely to resemble the woman who had been the source of her new face. the operation was led by jean-michel dubernard, a specialist from a hospital in lyon who has also carried out hand transplants. skin transplants have long been used to treat burns and other injuries, but operations around the mouth and nose have been considered very difficult because of the areas high sensitivity（敏感） to foreign tissue.teams in france, the united states and britain had been developing techniques to make face transplants a realitythere was a short-term risk for the patient if blood vessels became blocked, a medium-term danger of her body rejecting the new skin and a long-term possibility that the drugs used could cause cancers. experts say that although such medical advances should be celebrated, the transplant had thrown up moral（道德的）and ethical(伦理的)issues. little is known about the psychological effect of the transplant.28. the best title for the passage would be _. a. french woman has first partial face transplant b. first face transplant opens debate c. risks and ethical problems of a face transplant d. a complete face transplant of a french woman29. why did the woman need such an operation? a. her face had been bitten by a dog b. her face had been burnt in a fire. c. she was born especially ugly d. she wanted to test such an operation.30. the underlined word resemble means _. a. to remember forever b. to recognize immediately c. to set as an example d. to present similarity or likeness to31. what can we learn about the operation? a. the woman had used the dead woman s whole face. b. there has arisen（引起） a debate about the operation. c. the woman will suffer from psychological damage soon. d. such transplants have been performed by doctors.32. which of the following is not one of the risks of the operation? a. block of blood vessels. b. organ rejection c. heart damage. d. side effect of the drugsddr. michael prager, a leading botox expert, said that a growing number of women are developing something called “computer face”. he also mentioned that professionals who worked long hours in front of a screen were ending up with saggy jowls（颚骨）,“turkey neck” and deep-set wrinkles on their forehead and around their eyes. the botox expert said that, of all his clients, office workers were most likely to show premature （过早的）signs of aging. “ if you are one of the unfortunate people who frown（皱眉）while you are concentrating on the screen then, over time, you will inevitably end up with frown lines. dr. prager said. “what is perhaps more surprising is the number of women with saggy jowls because they are sitting in one position for so long. if you spend most of the time looking down then the neck muscles shorten and go saggy, eventually giving you a second neck.” dr. prager, who has a practice near harley street in london, said he encourages his clients to put a mirror next to their computer so they can see if they are frowning at the screen. “when people are stressed or thinking hard about something, then they will often put on a grumpy（脾气暴躁的）face without even knowing what they are doing. when my clients put a mirror next to their desk, they are often shocked by the angry, frowning face which stares back at them.” he said, “the women i am seeing at the moment have only been using computers at work for the last decade or so. but women in their 20s have grown up with them and use them for every single task. i think the problem is going to become much, much worse. in another ten years, they could be looking quite awful.” dr. prager said there were several simple steps which could avoid “computer face” such as regular screen breaks and stretching the neck muscles. and, of course, there was always botox. he said that , after a couple of sessions of botox, the habit of “grumpy face” could be broken.33.according to the passage, which of the following are signs of aging? a. saggy jowls and short necks b. turkey neck and frown lines c. deep-set wrinkles and angry faces d. second neck and stressed muscles34. why does dr. prager suggest a mirror for his clients? a. to be aware of their “computer face” b. to see if they have got a second neck c. to make sure their make-up is perfect d. to find more signs of premature aging35. from the last 2 paragraphs, we can know that_ a. “computer face” is avoidable b. we should give up using computers c. we should break the habit of “grumpy face” d. the younger generation is worse at computers第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节
