She came to this country with her family on a tiny ship during World War I when she was only 8 years old. During the trip she survived stormy seas, little food, and an attack by a German U-boat. After getting here, her large family worked hard to build a new life in America. They never had much money but were rich in love.One day, when I was about 5 or 6 years old, my parents and brothers went on a trip. It was just me and Nanny in the house for the weekend. Nanny seemed so happy to be taking care of me all by herself. She made me a special breakfast that first morning. However, all I could do was to complain about how the food was not how Mom always made it. Nanny quietly put down the plate and went into the living room. I followed a minute later and saw that she had tears in her eyes. It was the first time I had ever seen my strong and proud grandmother cry and I was the one who had caused it.I walked over to Nanny, climbed on her lap, and for the first time in my short life I did something else too. I apologized without being told to and asked Nanny to forgive me. She smiled, rubbed my head, and told me I was a good boy even though I didnt feel like one then.That memory just like my Nannys love will stay in my heart forever. It is a sign of both strength and wisdom. Asking for forgiveness helps us to learn, to grow, and to love.24. The boy complained to Nanny that the food _.A. was just to his parents taste B. was served a bit later than usualC. was prepared in a special way D. wasnt cooked the way his mom did25.

What kind of person is Nanny in authors eyes?A. Joyous and jealous. B. Kind and sensitive.C. Strong-willed and wise. D. Hardworking and careful.C (改编)Oh my God, the robots are taking over! Were doomed! Doomed! Now that Ive gotten that out of my system, its become clear that while we may or may not be doomed, the robots are taking over. The latest example is the governments new guidelines for self-driving cars.Tesla, Google and Uber are already testing driverless cars in cities across America. Uber chief executive Travis Kalanick is among those predicting that by 2021, self-driving cars will play a big part in urban settings.Nearly 40,000 people died last year in this nation in automobile-related accidents, and we believes driverless cars can save tens of thousands of lives annually.Makes sense. Robot drivers are less likely to get drunk, drive without a license, text while driving or feel agitated at the scene of a pileup. On the other hand, I wonder how these highly sensitive cars will react, with walkers constantly dashing into the street. Will they jam on the brakes every 10 seconds?But theres a bigger picture. Not only are robots replacing humans behind the wheel, but behind the work desk, in warehouses, senior homes, you name it. Robots arent just taking over in the workplace.The question is, where cant a robot function better than a human? How about writing songs? A robot can go through every combination of notes in record time and come up with a pleasing melody. The lyrics might be a different story. Is a Grammy-winning song co-written by Hank Human and R-3071 in our future?Finally, its only a matter of time until we have robot politicians and presidential candidates. Why not? They can be programmed to be experts in world and domestic affairs and come up with the best solutions without corruption and bad humors.Actually, its too bad such technology isnt available in 2020. Pretty sure the robot would win in a landslide.28. The underlined word “agitated” is closest in meaning “_”.A. Tired B. Anxious C. Careful D. Cautious29. What doubt does the writer have about self-driving cars?A. How passengers behave in it. B. How robot drivers get the license.C. How they avoid crashing into other car. D. How they respond to walkers on a busy street.30. The last questions asked in the sixth paragraph reflects the writers .A. confidence in robots, winning Grammy AwardsB. eagerness to listen to songs written by robotsC. doubt about robots ability to write songsD. curiosity about the future Grammy songs31. What is the authors attitude towards the coming robot?A. Disgusted. B. Indifferent. C. Doubtful. D. Optimistic.D (改编)Half off usually unaffordable products? Only $49.99 for that $100.00 dinner? Thats the magic of Groupon, but for some small business owners the “great business” offered by Groupon can be equal to the kiss of death. How could that occur?The math of Groupon seems simple at a glance, but upon further inspection the numbers dont add up when it comes to smaller businesses. A Groupon typically offers a 50% discount on a product or service; then the remaining profit is divided between Groupon and the small business. While Groupon has already received the profit in advance, the merchant is left waiting for their cut. Those worrying numbers are assuming the price cut is 50/50, which, in some cases, is being generous.When you break it down to numbers, a Groupon deal seems disastrous, but its not only the numbers small business owners have to worry about. The point of Groupon deals is to attract new and hopefully long term customers. Yet, does this actually happen? The majority of consumers buying the Groupon are there for the bargain and dont return after using their Groupon. CFHS Junior Angelita Pope stated, “I love the deals offered by Groupon! They can really save you so much money.” However, she went on to say that she hadnt returned once to any of the businesses after using her Groupon.For some small businesses, the pressure lies with the responses of their loyal customers, who watch as new faces get the same product or service for half the price that they have been paying for years. When you break it down, Groupon indicates that the business offering the deal is not only willing to be flexible with their price, but also that their product or service isnt worth the price theyre charging for. When combining these factors, its no wonder loyal customers are put off by the idea of their favorite shop offering Groupons.Now I by no means say Groupons have bad effects on all businesses; however the storm of Groupon is actually a disaster for a small business.32. What is good about Groupon?A. It brings small business owners more profit. B. It helps add up the numbers.C. It can improve the quality of the product. D. It can offer a large discount.33. CFHS Junior Angelita Popes statement suggests that _.A. Groupon may not bring customers backB. people like using Groupon in the same businessC. the purpose of Groupon is to promote businessD. small business owners neednt worry about deals34. Whats the pressure of some small businesses according to the passage?A. Their products may not be as good as as before.B. They may not be offered the “great business” by Groupon.C. Their regular customers may feel cheated and wont trust them.D. They will be closed down by the government.35. What could be the best title for the text?A. A new business trendGroupon dealingB. The effects of Groupon on small businessesC. The development of a Groupon companyD. A fantastic shopping experienceGroupon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。How to Survive Dorm LifeLiving on campus is just a challenge students must face.

With the opening night only a week away, I was still learning my lines by heart. I was having 42 handling my part-time job at the bank in the daytime and my acting at night at the same time. As I walked, I thought seriously about 43 both acting and San Francisco. I had 44 too much of city life.As I walked down the 45 streets under the tall buildings, I felt very small and cold, so I began 46 both to keep warm and to keep away from any possible robbers. Very few people were still out 47 a few homeless people under blankets.About a block from my 48 , I heard a sound behind me. I 49 quickly, half expecting to see someone with a knife or a gun. The street was empty. All I saw was a shining streetlight. Still, the noise had made me 50 so I started to run faster. Not until I reached my apartment building and unlocked the door did I 51 what the noise had been. It had been my wallet 52 to the sidewalk.Suddenly I wasnt cold or tired anymore. I ran out of the door and back to where Id heard the noise. Although I searched the sidewalk 53 for 15 minutes, my wallet was 54 to be found.Just as I was about to quit the 55 , I heard the garbage truck stop to the sidewalk next to 56 . When a voice came from the inside, “Alisa Camacho?” I thought I was dreaming. How could this man know my name? The door opened and out jumped a small blonde man with an 57 look in his eyes. “Is this 58 youre looking for?” He asked, holding up something like a wallet.It was already 3 a.m. by the time I got into bed. I couldnt get much sleep, but I had got my wallet back. I also had got back some 59 of city life. I realized the city couldnt be a bad place 60 people were willing to help each other.41Acomfortable Bserious Ctiresome Dfortunate42Acomfort Bdesire CpainDtrouble43Asetting upBgiving upCholding upDpicking up44AexpectedBchanged CcontrolledDpossessed45AdesertedBcrowded CblankDnarrow46Arunning BjumpingCmovingDmarching47ATowardsBexceptCincludingDbetween48AbankBtheatreCapartmentDoffice49AstoodBwalkedCturnedDleft50AsatisfiedBconfusedCfrightenedDannoyed51Aturn outBfigure outCgive outDpull out52AbelongingBaddingCstickingDfalling53AgratefullyBanxiouslyCskillfullyDdelightedly54AnowhereBanywhereCeverywhereDsomewhere55AinstructionBtrain
