They order clothes and they dont fit. People get very unhappy.”Wong and her design partner, Xuaner “Cecilia” Zhang, are Team White Mirror, creators of what they call a “virtual (虚拟)fitting room”. Their goal is simple and consumer-friendly: to let online clothing shoppers have a perfect fit and a perfect look when shopping every time. Both women are from China, Wong from Hong Kong and Zhang from Beijing. They both order most of their clothing online. They got the idea from their own experience as consumers and from listening to the complaints of friends and relatives. “They say, The color is wrong or I got the right size but it still does not fit. We want to make it like youre in the store trying on the clothes,” Zhang said.Using a Kinect developed by Microsoft for use with its Xbox 360 video game player, Zhang scans Wong and turns her image(影像) into, in effect, a virtual model, keeping Wongs dimensions (尺寸), and even her skin and hair color. “We put the clothes on the shoppers 3-D body models and show how they look when they are dressed,” Wong said. So far, Wong and Zhang have adapted the software to show dresses and shirts, and they are now working on shorts.Asked if she thought men as well as women might be interested in using their virtual fitting room, Wong said, “I think their wives will care about this, so it will also be important to men.”5. Why is shopping conveniently online for clothes a disadvantage?A. Students may easily get addicted to it.B. It causes shoppers to waste too much money.C. It attracts more online clothing shoppers.D. Clothes bought online may not fit.6.

C My parents moved to Mississippi when my brother and I were small children, and we were separated from our Oklahoma grandparents by some 600 miles. This geographic distance allowedus to only visit our grandparents once a year, either at Christmas or during summer vacation. Most of my classmates lived near their grandparents, and I would routinely hear stories of extended families（大家庭）regularly spending time with one another, fishing at “grandpas” house or going over to “grandmas” for her famous fried chicken. We were disappointed that we did not get to spend more time with our grandparents, but our love for them remained deep and strong. We always expected a road trip to Oklahoma. We would count the days, and when Day I came, the entire family would pile into the car at four oclock in the morning. Crossing the Mississippi River into Louisiana, the landscapes （风景）changed. Crossing the Red River in Oklahoma, we were in a foreign world. Every trip to see my grandparents cant be without bringing delight. We jumped out of the car in their driveway to be met with bear hugs. My grandparents wanted to know everything about their grandchildren, and we would sit for hours and tell story after story. Grandma had a meal planned, and you could bet she fixed her grandsons favorite foods. Of course the best part of the visit was that we were able to do whatever we wanted without punishment from our grandparents. Grandma and Grandpa always had presents for us, neat scenic trips planned and lovely surprises, such as the time we got to go to a local restaurant and eat the worlds largest hamburger.9. The family dont visit the grandparents often because _. A. they live far away from each other B. they seldom have a vacation C. they are all busy with their work D. they have a bad attitude to them10. Whenever the author and his brother met their grandparents, they _. A.shared cooking skills with each other B. found they were in a foreign world C.were all full of great excitement D. seemed not to be familiar with each other11. What can we infer from the authors story？ A. Distance leads to the most beautiful scene. B. Physical separation (实际的分离) hurts the heart deeply. C. Distance cant break the bond (纽带) of love. D. Family life is filled with love and understanding.D Vacation is a time for refreshment. In work, we are often called to think. Sometimes, its good to give our brains a rest. Without a break, we may not be able to perform up to our potential. This can be a problem, not only for the employee, but for the employer as well.“The main benefit of vacation is for the worker to come back energized(有活力的),”says Weaver.“If they havent had a break, then theyre not coming back with new energy. They havent had a chance to step back and get perspective（远景）, and come back with renewed enthusiasm(热情).” Long working hours without a break, insecurity（不安）about ones job, and other work-related worries can lead to burnout and stress. Humans can usually adapt to pressure, but not for a limitless amount of time. “It is a problem of relating good workers and having them loyal to the firm while theyre there,”says David Maume, PhD, professor of sociology at the University of Cincinnati. He says burnout can also affect employeesproductivity, creativity, and effectiveness. In addition, high levels of stress are likely to be precursors (前兆) to depression, which can hit both the employer and employees pocketbook. Even people who manager to remain productive at work can have problems. If theyre always at work, then theyre not with their family and friends. If theyre working while on vacation, for the time that theyre on the job, theyre not really present. An unbalanced emphasis on work can strain family and social life. When you come up for air, you may see that youre alone, or that your relationships have gone on without you.x k b 1 . c o m12. The underlined word“there”in the fourth paragraph probably refers to _.A. the vacation B. the university C. thecompany D. the home13. Whats the main benefit of a vacation?A. The worker can step back and get more excited B. The worker can come back with new energy.C. The worker can adapt to pressure much better.D. The manager can be more creative.14. When a worker is always at work, he is likely to get more and more_ .A. active B. energetic C. skillful D. absent-minded 15. Which of the following is the best title of the text?A.

Why the workers need a vacation. 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项。 Speaking is not equal to learning1. You dont need to study grammar too much. The first suggestion may sound strange to many students who begin to learn English, but it is exactly important. 16 However, if you want to speak fluently, you should try to speak English without thinking too much of grammar. Studying grammar will only slow you down and make you hesitate. You will think about the grammar rules instead of naturally saying a sentence like a native.2. You cant translate every word. When you try to speak English, you do not have to translate every word from your mother tongue. 17 Another problem you may meet is that you will misuse grammar rules that you have learned in your mother language. 3. 18 The reason why many people can learn well is that they often practice. But in order to speak English fluently, you need to practice speaking. When you study, do not just listen. Speak out loud the material you are listening to and practice what you hear. Practice speaking out loud until your mouth and brain can do it without any effort. 19 4. You should study correct material.A phrase you often hear is, “practice makes perfect.” this is not completely true. Practice only makes what you are practicing permanent. If you practice the incorrect sentence, you will have perfected saying the sentence incorrectly. 20 A. You should try to speak fluently.B. You need to practice what you hear.C. By doing so, you will be able to speak English fluently.D. If you want to pass examination, you should study grammar well.E. If you listen more, you can speak correctly and fluently sooner or later.F. Therefore, it is important that you study material that is commonly used by most people. G. The order of words is probably completely different and you may be both slow and incorrect by doing this.第二部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题15分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A, B, C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。When I was 13 my only purpose was to become the star on our football team.
