a. online shopping traps.b. new credit cards for parents.c. the arrival of cyber pocket money.d. internet users in the us and the uk.bwomen have jumped ahead of men for the first time in using the internet to do their holiday shopping, according to a study published last week in the us. for years men have been more likely to shop on the internet than women, but during the 2011 holiday season 58 percent of those making online purchases(购买) were women. “it shows how mainstream the internet is becoming”, said lee rainie, director of the pew internet and american life project group, which carried out the study. rainie said it was only a matter of time before women shoppers caught up with men. this is because women traditionally make decisions about spending. users were more likely to shop online to save time. internet users between the ages of 18 and 29 were responsible for some of the most dramatic increases in the online gift-buying population this time around. however, three-quarters of the us internet users did not buy holiday gifts online in 2011. they worried about credit card security(安全), or just compared online prices with off-line prices, then dashed off to the shops to get the best deals.“but even if shoppers dont buy online, websites are becoming promotion tools for stores,” said dan hess, vice president of comscore networks inc. hess said that actually most stores websites can make customers fully believe the security of their credit card numbers. and most are able to ensure that gifts arrive on time. “its all about making the shopping experience more efficient, more reliable and more comfortable.” hess said.5. which of the following statements is true?a. more women shopped online than men during 2011 holiday season.b. there were fewer women online shoppers than men during 2011 holiday seasonc. most of the internet users between the ages of 18 and 29 are women. d. people in the us were more likely to buy gifts online.6. from the passage we can infer that_.a. men usually decide how to spend money in the family b. women usually decide what to buy in the familyc. the internet is used in all the shops. d. more and more shops will sell their goods online.7. according to dan hess, shopping online is _.a. unsafeb. convenient c. a waste of time d. cheaper8. what can we know from the passage?a. american people only buy gifts in holidays. b. shopping online is fun for women.c. shopping off-line provides better service. d. young people like to do gift-shopping online. c music is often thought of as “easy” or “play time”， but its not that at all. music plays a very important part in our education. students who learn music learn a lot of music history at school. this includes “modes (调式)”，which were used in churches during the development of music. they are still used today. students learn about the historical events that were taking place when the music they play was written. they learn what the music was used for. so much of our culture is in music and has been for centuries. music also helps with science. students use science to help them discover what sounds good together and what doesnt. students also need science to understand something called the “overtone series”, which is about how music is produced by vibration (颤动) and why. students learn a lot about languages. many songs are written in other languages, including ancient ones. students must learn to translate these works to understand what they are singing about. some songs are famous poems or short works set to music. students learn a huge amount of coordination (协调) through music, so parts of the body can work better together. students must use fine motor skills in order to play an instrument. singers and players must learn breath control and be in good shape to play. students learn about art. some famous pieces were written about important works of art, and students learn about the artists and styles as theyre playing the music. music education also brings higher thinking to our children. it allows them to think about complex patterns (how can i make my part sound better？how do this music and these different parts fit together？). students have to know absolutely what every other musician does at all times. in that way, it develops teamwork. as one can see, music is very important to education besides bringing us fun.9. learning music is helpful to the following subjects except _a. science b. language c. politics d. history 10. students who learn music have to translate songs _ a. because they are learning the language b. because they must understand what they are singing about c. because the songs are ancient ones d. because they are famous poems 11. which of the following is not true according to the passage? a. modes are still used in modern music. b. different kinds of music show different cultures. c. its easier for athletes to learn to play an instrument. d. a good musician should know the importance of teamwork. 12. what is the main idea of the passage? a. the importance of music. b. the importance of music education. c. ways to learn music well. d. skills music students should have. dmany years ago, my dad was facing a serious heart condition. he was unable to do a steady job. he fell suddenly ill and had to be admitted to the hospital. he wanted to do something to keep himself busy, so he decided to volunteer at the local childrens hospital. my dad loved kids. it was the perfect job for him. he ended up working with the seriously ill children. he would talk, play, and do arts with them. one of his kids was a girl with a rare disease that paralyzed（瘫痪）her from the neck down. she couldnt do anything, and she was very depressed. my dad decided to try to help her. he started visiting her in her room, bringing paints, brushes and paper. he stood the paper up, put the paintbrush in his mouth and began to paint. he didnt use his hands at all. all the while he would tell her, “see, you can do anything you set your mind to.” at the end of the day, she began to paint using her mouth, and she and my dad became friends. soon after, the little girl was sent home because the doctors felt there was nothing else they could do for her. my dad also left the childrens hospital for a little while because he became ill. some time later after my dad had recovered and returned to work, in came the little girl who had been paralyzed and only this time she was walking. she ran straight over to my dad and hugged him really tight. she gave him a picture she had done using her hands. at the bottom it read: “thank you for helping me walk.” my dad would cry every time he told us this story and so would we. he would say sometimes love is more powerful than doctor, and my dad who died just a few months after the little girl gave the picture loved every single child in that hospital.21. the authors father worked at the local hospital to _.a. realize his childhood dreamb. ease his serious heart conditionc. earn money to pay for treatmentd. keep himself occupied and happy22. how did the authors father help the paralyzed little girl?a. he helped her practice walking.b. he visited her and made a toy for her.c. he showed her she could still do things.d. he painted special pictures for her.23. according to paragraph 4, the paralyzed girl _.a. gradually recovered and walkedb. eventually became a unique painterc. was sent home and never seen againd. sent him a picture painted with her mouth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。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 money is a topic ill save for another day. so today i want to give you some wisdom about how to make the most of the time you spend in the kitchen. here are three tips for great cooking on a tight schedule: 1.think ahead. the moments when i think cooking is a pain are when im already hungry and theres nothing ready to eat. so think ahead of the coming week. when will you have time to cook? do you have the right materials already? 17 2. make your time worth it. when you do find time to cook a meal, make the most of it and save yourself time later on. are you making one loaf of bread? 18 it takes around the same amount of time to make more of something. so save yourself the effort for a future meal. 3. 19 this may surprise you, but one of the best tools for making cooking worth your time is experimentation. it gives you the chance to hit upon new ideas and recipes that can work well with your appetite (食欲) and schedule. the more you learn and the more you try, the more ability you have to take control of your food and your schedule. hopefully that gives you a good start. 20 and dont let a busy schedule discourage you from making some great changes in the way you eat and live! a. try new things. b. ability is easily improved. c. make three or four instead. d. understand your food better. e. cooking is a burden for many people. f. let cooking and living simply be a joy rather than a burden. g. a little time planning ahead can save a lot of work later on.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1.5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。mr johnson worked in an office.he was short and fat and he looked like a forty-year-old man 21 he was no more than thirty-five. he 22 three thousand dollars a month and had his own house and car. but he was very miserly（吝啬的)and had 23 friends. he took good care of nobody but 24 . he was introduced to several girls, but he never bought any 25 for them and no girl liked a man like him.so he had to 26 alone in the beautiful house. he was always sad of it and didnt know the 27 . one sunday morning mr johnson felt lonely 28 and went out for a walk near a park. it was a fine day. the sun was 29 and the birds were singing in the tree. beautiful 30 and green grass could be seen everywhere. he 31 his sadness and walked on. suddenly he heard someone was calling 32 . he turned round and saw a pretty girl with a pair of glasses 33 to catch up with him. he felt strange 34 he didnt know her at all. but he stopped to 35 her. “dont you remember me,sir?”asked the girl. “i 36 you last december!” “i am sorry, madam.”said mr johnson.”but.” “im 37 you are one of my childrens fathers,” the girl said. suddenly she found she didnt know the man at all and her 38 turned red and hurried off. 39 her disappearing figure(身影), mr johnson could not understand 30 it meant. of course, he didnt know she was a teacher.21. a. ifb. whetherc. thoughd. when22. a. paidb. was paidc. borrowedd. was lent23. a. fewb. a fewc. manyd. plenty of24. a .he b. himc. hisd. himself25. a. ticketsb. presentsc. beancurdd. firewood26. a. liveb. playc. workd. build27. a. excuseb. advicec. suggestiond. reason28.a.in the officeb. at schoolc. at homed.in the restaurant29. a. flyingb. shiningc. standingd. sitting30. a. stonesb. treesc. flowersd. stones31. a. wroteb. readc.rememberedd. forgot32. a. behindb. frontc. awayd. over there33. a. restingb. tryingc. planningd. asking34. a. whileb. untilc. unlessd. because35. a. wait forb. helpc. discoverd.discuss with36.a.examinedb. hurtc. visitedd. invited37. a. afraidb. surec. sadd. sorry38. a. head b. eyesc. noesd. face39.a. looking atb. drawingc. beatingd. receiving40. a. whyb. whenc. whered. what第ii卷注意：将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。第二节：单词拼写 (根据所给的汉语提示写出单词的正确形式，每空一词)（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）41. she never expressed any _ (同情) when he was injured.42. the worker w_ to having seen the accused near the scene of the crime.43. you can divide a rectangle with the d_ 5cm3cm into a square and a smaller rectangle.44. my friends u_ that i should apply for the job.45. topics for compositions should have _ (有关) to the experiences and interests of the students.46. at present, the _ (分配) of profits cannot satisfy most of the people.47. the teacher is easy-going, and she often _(参加) in the pupils games.48. doctors _ (推荐) taking a walk after supper.49. vitamin pills are no s_ for healthy eating.50. o_ in carrying out an experiment, he cant spare time to look after his children.第三部分 写作（共两节，满分40分）第一节 短文改错（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）下面短文中共有10处错误，错误涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。增加：在缺词处加一个漏词符号（），并在此符号下面写出该加的词。删除：把多余的词用斜线（）划掉。修改：在错的词下划一横线，并在该词下面写出修改后的词。注意：1每处错误及其修改均仅限一词； 2只允许修改10处，多者（从第11处起）不计分 one day, while my friend and i was traveling through germany, we were not very hungry but we only had a little money. we decided stop at a village market to buy something to eat. we choose the cheapest biscuits and ate it under a tree. we thought the biscuits were great. “lets got some more,” i said, “theyre cheap and they really taste well.” my friend could re
