For example, the top crowd decides that it is smart to wear bright red sweaters. Very soon everybody is wearing a bright red sweater.There is nothing wrong with that, except the fact that bright red is not suitable on some people at all.The situation can even become dangerous, if the top crowd decides that it is smart to drink or to drive cars at 70 miles an hour. Then the people who follow the lead are causing danger to peoples lives. They are like sheep being led to the slaughterhouse (屠宰场).Perhaps you have come across situations like these more than once in your life. In fact, at one time or another you probably did something you knew to be wrong. You may have excused yourself by saying, The crowd does it. Well, let the crowd do it, but dont do it yourself. Learn to say, No. Make your own judge (判断). If you know the crowd is planning something with which you disagree, have the courage to leave them politely. Youll have the satisfaction of standing on your own feet.31 The writer disapproves of wearing red sweaters if _.A. the crowd is wearing themB. you dont look good in redC. you cant afford themD. your parents disapprove32 The writer urges the readers to _.A. obey their parentsB. take the advice of their eldersC. be independentD. follow the crowd33 People who blindly follow the top crowd _.A. will make themselves happyB. will lose friendsC. sometimes do things against their better judgmentD. finally become pace-setters in their own right34 The main idea of this passage is that _.A. in every school there is a top crowd that sets the paceB. it is a mistake to follow the top crowd blindlyC. at one time or another you probably did something you knew to be wrongD. people who follow the top crowd are endangering their lives35Which is the best title for this passage?A.

It is a great truth because once we truly understand and accept it, then life is no longer difficult. Most people do not fully see this truth. Instead they complain(抱怨) about their problems and difficulties as if life should be easy. It seems to them that difficulties stand for a special kind of suffering especially forced on them or else on their families, their class, or even their nation. What makes life difficult is that the process of facing and solving problems is a painful one. Problems, depending on their nature, cause sadness, or loneliness(孤独) or regret or anger or fear. These are uncomfortable feelings, often as painful as any kind of physical pain. And since life causes a lot of problems, life is always difficult and is full of pain as well as joy.Yet, it is in this whole process of solving problems that life has its meaning. Problems are the serious test that tells us success from failure. When we want to encourage the growth of human spirit, we encourage the human ability to solve problems, just as in school we set problems for our children to solve. It is through the pain of meeting and working out problems that we learn. As Benjamin Franklin said, Those things that hurt, instruct(指导). It is for this reason that wise people learn not to fear but to welcome the pain of problems. 40From the passage, it can be inferred that_.Aeverybody has problems Bwe become stronger by facing and solving the problems of lifeClife is difficult because our problems bring us painDpeople like to complain about their problems41 The writer probably used just one short sentence in the first paragraph to _. A. save space B. persuade readersC. make readers laugh D. get readers attention 42 The main idea of paragraph 3 is that _. A. most people feel life is easyB. the writer feel life is easyC. the writer likes to complain about his problemsD. most people complain about how hard their lives are 43 According to the passage, we give school children difficult problems to solve in order to _. A. encourage them to learnB. teach them to fear the pain of solving the problemsC. help them learn to deal with painD. teach them how to respect problems 44 The saying from Benjamin Franklin Those things that hurt, instruct suggests that _. A. we do not learn from experience B. we do not learn when we are in painC. pain teaches us important lessons D. pain cannot be avoided Along the river banks of the Amazon and the Orinoco there lives a bird that swims before it can fly, flies like a fat chicken, eats green leaves, has the stomach of a cow and has claws (爪) on its wings when young. They build their homes about 4.6m above the river, an important feature for the safety of the young. It is called the hoatzin.In appearance, the birds of both sexes look very much alike with brown on the back and cream and red on the underside. The head is small, with a large set of feathers on the top, bright red eyes, and blue skin. Its nearest relatives are the common birds, cuckoos. Its most striking (显著的) feature, though, is only found in the young.Baby hoatzins have a claw on the leading edge of each wing and another at the end of each wing tip. Using these four claws, together with the beak (喙), they can climb about in the bushes, looking very much like primitive(原始的) birds must have done. When the young hoatzins have learned to fly, they lose their claws.During the drier months between December and March hoatzins fly about the forest in groups of 20 to 30 birds, but in April, when the rainy season begins, they collect together in smaller living units of two to seven birds for producing purposes.45What is the text mainly about?AHoatzins in dry and rainy seasons.BThe relatives and enemies of hoatzins.CPrimitive birds and hoatzins of the Amazon.DThe appearance and living habits of hoatzins.46Young hoatzins are different from their parents in that_ Athey look like young cuckoosBthey have claws on the wingsCthey eat a lot like a cow Dthey live on river banks47What can we infer about primitive birds from the text?AThey had claws to help them climb.BThey could fly long distances.CThey had four wings like hoatzins.DThey had a head with long feathers on the top.48Why do hoatzins collect together in smaller groups when the rainy season comes?ATo find more food. BTo protect themselves better.CTo keep themselves warm. DTo produce their young. Do you like 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 “show rooming”Show rooming 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 knockdown priceIm not alone in doing thisResearch by a company called Foolproof，found 24of people show roomed 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 instore discounts or free girlsWe 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 show rooming，you get the best of both worlds!49The two questions in Paragraph l are raised to _.Aintroduce the topic Bgive two examplesCcompare different opinions Dget answers from readers50What does show rooming mean in the text?ATrying in shops and buying onlineBShowing products in a roomCBuying something in a storeDShopping on the Internet51According to Amy Cashman，which is not the reason for show rooming?AThe lack of time BThe comfort of the sofaCThe shortness of money DThe security of the product52What can be inferred from Paragraph 4 ?AOnline shops will disappearBFree gifts will surely promote salesCShops need necessary changesDShops will be replaced by online shops53The authors attitude towards show rooming is _Acritical Bneutral Csupportive Dcasual五、短文改错（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）54假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下短文。短文中共有10处错误，每句中最多有两处。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（），并在其下面写出该加的词。删除：把多余的词用斜线（ ）划掉。修改：在错的词下面划一横线，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。Dear Tom,Im an Australian boy of 16 years old, which lives in Sydney.
