thought of wandering around the shops fill you with terror For some of us shopping is an enjoyable way of spending our spare time and our money For me it s something I would rather avoid Thank goodness for the Internet It s more convenient to buy CDs electrical items even food from the comfort of your sofa But that s not the only reason price is an important factor We can buy goods and services cheaper online But sometimes the problem is knowing what to buy This has led to a type of shopping called showrooming Showrooming is something I ve done I will go to a shop to see touch and try out products but then go home and buy them online at a knock down price I m not alone in doing this Research by a company called Foolproof found 24 of people showroomed while Christmas shopping in 2013 Amy 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 around But does this mean technology will kill shops Certainly shops will change They will have to offer more competitive prices or encourage people to buy more by giving in store discounts or free gifts We mustn t forget that buying in a shop means you can get expert advice from the sales assistant and you can get good aftercare It s 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 1 The two questions in Paragraph 1 are raised to A introduce the topic B give two examples C compare different opinions D get answers from readers 2 According to Amy Cashman which is not the reason for showrooming A The lack of time B The comfort of the sofa C The shortness of money D The security of the product 3 The author s attitude towards showrooming is A critical B neutral C casual D supportive 个性化教学辅导教案 Beijing XueDa Century Education Technology Ltd 2 B There is a very instructive incident involving the life of Alexander the Great King of Greek Alexander after conquering many kingdoms was returning home On the way he fell ill and it took him to his death bed With death staring him in his face Alexander realized his conquests his great army his sharp sword and all his wealth were of no consequence So he lay helplessly waiting to breathe his last He called his generals and said I will depart from this world soon and I have three wishes Please carry them out without fail My first desire is that said Alexander My physicians alone must carry my coffin After a pause he continued Secondly I desire that when my coffin is being carried to the grave the path leading to the graveyard be spread with gold silver and precious stones which I have collected The king continued My third and last wish is that both my hands should be kept hanging out of my coffin Alexander s favourite general kissed his hand and pressed it to his heart Oh King we assure you that your wishes will all be fulfilled But tell us why do you make such strange wishes Alexander took a deep breath and said I would like the world to know of the three lessons I have just learnt I want my physicians to carry my coffin because people should realize that no doctor can really cure any bodies They are powerless and cannot save a person from the clutches of death So let people not take life for granted The second wish of spreading gold silver and other riches on the way to the graveyard is to tell people that not even a bit of gold will come with me I spent all my life earning riches but cannot take anything with me Let people realize that it is just a waste of time to chase wealth And about my third wish of having my hands hanging out of the coffin I wish people to know that I came empty handed into this world and empty handed out of this world With these words the King closed his eyes Soon he let death conquer him and breathed his last 4 The first paragraph suggests that Alexander A wanted to leave the world as he came empty handed B realized that what he got in his life was nothing to him at all C was spending a lot time conquering many kingdoms and had earned a great amount of wealth D regarded his conquests his great army his sharp sword and all his wealth as the most important things 5 The underlined word clutches in Paragraph 4 means A sentence B attention C control D shadow 6 The author intends to A tell us the story of Alexander B stress the power of Alexander the Great C persuade people to realized what Alexander said D introduce readers to the instructive lessons of Alexander 7 What would be the best title of the passage A The Death of Alexander B The Greed of Alexander C Three wishes of Alexander D The Life of Alexander 个性化教学辅导教案 Beijing XueDa Century Education Technology Ltd 3 C A new study shows students who write notes by hand during lectures perform better on exams than those who use laptops Students are increasingly using laptops for note taking because of speed and legibility 清晰 度 But the research has found laptop users are less able to remember and apply the concepts they have been taught Researchers performed experiments that aimed to find out whether using a laptop increased the tendency to make notes mindlessly by taking down word for word which the professors said In the first experiment students were given either a laptop or pen and paper They listened to the same lectures and were told to use their usual note taking skills Thirty minutes after the talk they were examined on their ability to remember facts and on how well they understood concepts The researchers found that laptop users took twice as many notes as those who wrote by hand However the typists performed worse at remembering and applying the concepts Both groups scored similarly when it came to memorizing facts The researchers report said While more notes are beneficial if the notes are taken mindlessly as is more likely the case on a laptop the benefit disappears In another experiment aimed at testing long term memory students took notes as before but were tested a week after the lecture This time the students who wrote notes by hand performed significantly better on the exam These two experiments suggest that handwritten notes are not only better for immediate learning and understanding but that they also lead to superior revision in the future 8 More and more students favor laptops for note taking because they can A write more notes B digest concepts better C get higher scores D understand lecture better 9 While taking notes laptop users tend to be A skillful B tireless C thoughtful D mindless 10 The author of the passage aims to A examine the importance of long term memory B stress the benefit of taking notes by hand C explain the process of taking notes D promote the use of laptops 11 The passage is likely to appear in A a finance report B a computer textbook C a science magazine D a newspaper advertisement 个性化教学辅导教案 Beijing XueDa Century Education Technology Ltd 4 D If you don t think technology can improve your trip meet Judy Williams When she and her husband recently checked into Blu Hotel in Zurich a clerk asked them to sign the dotted line on a room rate hundreds of dollars higher than their online offer It was not a cheap stay says Williams a lawyer from Billings Mont But it became more of one after her husband fired up the B app he d used to book their room on his smartphone As soon as we showed him the cost he honored it Williams says Technology may create challenges for travelers but it can also solve them It s more than making sure of a hotel cost The latest B can help users select hotels by location make a secure booking and view the confirmed 已确认的 cost so they never need to re discuss their hotel price Another pain point for travelers is traffic that eats away precious vacation time There s a new app called Commute which is aimed at users who have to make the same trip every day But if you re headed to Los Angeles or Honolulu where visitors can easily get stuck in hours of heavy traffic Commute can help Just input basic information about your destination and expected leaving time and the app will start sending you traffic information 15 minutes before you leave Testing Commute proved to be a challenge for me because my home address is about 900 miles from my place of work But if you have only a short distance to travel through a heavily populated area you can use Commute to avoid traffic jams Another source of travel related problems is money That s particularly true when you re dealing with a foreign currency The latest Travel Money Tracker helps travelers prevent currency mix ups It immediately changes a country s native currency to yours so you know exactly how much that Espresso 浓咖啡 in Milan costs in dollars It can also warn you when you re overspending which can sometimes be a problem when you re on vacation The only catch of course is that you have to remember to record all your purchases Taken together these apps solve some of the most common travel problems But not all of them Some things no smartphone can fix which means I get to keep my job for now at least 12 What does the writer want to tell through the example of Judy Williams A The cost of Blu Hotel was higher than that of others B The clerk was very friendly and patient C The smartphones have many functions D Technology can make our trips better 13 Commute is not suitable for those who A have a long journey B go on the same trip every day C can easily get stuck in traffic jams D travel a short distance downtown 14 What is the function of Travel Money Tracker A It tells people how much Espresso costs B It warns people when they are shopping C It changes the native currency to yours D It records all people s purchases 15 What is the purpose of this passage A To encourage people to travel 个性化教学辅导教案 Beijing XueDa Century Education Technology Ltd 5 B To introduce some new apps C To help people with technology problems D To provide people with traveling information 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 Is bottled water better for you than tap Or should you choose vitamin enriched water Experts say skip it all None of these products is likely to make you any healthier Below we look at four major myths about the benefits of drinking water 16 Experts say there s an easy way to judge If you are not thirsty your fluid intake is likely just right Myth No 1 Drink eight glasses each day Scientist say there s no clear health benefit of drinking so much water a day 17 Nobody really knows says Dr Stanley Goldfarb a kidney expert at the University of Pennsylvania Myth No 2 Lots of water equals healthier skin The body is already 60 percent water 18 Adding a few extra glasses of water each day has a limited effect It s such a tiny part of what s in the body says Goldfarb It s very unlikely that one s getting any benefit Myth No 3 19 A more accurate statement may be drinking water is a helpful tool for dieters Water is a great strategy for dieters because it has no calories says Madeline Fernstrom of the University of Pittsburgh So you can keep your mouth busy without food and get a sense of satisfaction But water is not magical she adds Other zero calorie options such as diet sodas are fine too Myth No 4 It s easy to get dehydrated 脱水的 during a workout Dehydration sets in when a person has lost 2 percent of his or her body weight 20 It s also obvious that individuals in hot dry climates have an increased need for water says Goldfarb But for a walk in the park no water bottle is necessary A So where does the standard advice come from B But it s unclear whether these changes are clinically significant C So for a 200 pound man this means losing 4 pounds of water D Drinking extra water leads to weight loss E Drink as much water as you can F So if you take a 200 pound man he s 120 pounds of water G But first how do you know if you re drinking enough water 个性化教学辅导教案 Beijing XueDa Century
