Five years ago the Internet retailer Alibaba began promoting it as a shopping festival, and it has now turned to be the countrys busiest day for online retailers and millions of shopping lovers.JD.com is trying to attract more retailers by offering them free delivery service for a month. Alibaba itself has invited some 30,000 offline stores to participate in the online shopping party. More than 20,000 vendors on Alibabas sites -Tmall and Taobao are promising 50 percent discounts on the day. Shanghai- based Y,also called Yihaodian, a Chinese e-commerce company that is majority-owned by Wal-Mart Stores, is setting up a special sale of imported foods.Last year Alibaba earned19.1 billion yuan in sales during the double eleven promotions. And a 100billion yuan logistics (物流) network was set up by Alibaba this May that aims to make 24-hour deliveries possible.

I live my life with the goal of never having to say those words, because they convey regret, lost opportunities, mistakes, and disappointment.My father is famous in our family for saying, “Take the extra minute to do it right.， I always try to live by the “extra minute” rule. When my children were young and likely to cause accidents, I always thought about what I could do to avoid an “if only” moment，whether it was something minor like moving a cup full of hot coffee away from the edge of a counter, or something that required a little more work such as taping padding (衬垫)onto the sharp corners of a glass coffee table.I dont only avoid those “if only” moments when it comes to safety. It is equally important to avoid “if only* in our personal relationships. We all know people who lost a loved one and regretted that they had foregone an opportunity to say “I love you” or “I forgive you”. When my father announced he was going to the eye doctor across from my office on Good Friday，I told him that it was a holiday for my company and I wouldnt be here. But then I thought about the fact that he is 84 years old and I realized that I shouldnt give up an opportunity to see him. I called him and told him I had decided to go to work on my day off after all.I know there will still be occasions when I have to say “if only” about something, but my life is definitely better because of my policy of doing everything possible to avoid that eventuality. And even though it takes an extra minute to do something right, or it occasionally takes an hour or two in my busy schedule to make a personal connection, I know that Im doing the right thing. Im buying myself peace of mind and thats the best kind of insurance for my emotional well-being.28. Which of the following is an example of the “extra minute” rule?A. Start the car the moment everyone is seated.B. Leave the room for a minute with the iron working.C. Wait for an extra minute so that the steak tastes better.D. Move an object out of the way before it trips someone.29.The author decided to go to her office on Good Friday to A. keep her appointment with the eye doctorB. meet her father who was already an old man.C. join in the holiday celebration of the companyD. finish her work before the deadline approached . 30.The underlined word “foregone” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to A. deserted B. lackedC. avoided D. met31.What is the best title for the passage?A. The Emotional Well-being B. The Two Saddest Words.C. The Most Useful Rule D. The Peace of MindD It is commonly believed that all over the world, boys and girls attend a mixed school, where they study together.But boys schools are the perfect place to teach young men to express their emotions and involve them in activities such as art, dance and music. Always boys at single-sex schools were said to be more likely to get involved in cultural and artistic activitiesthat helped develop their emotional expressiveness, rather than feeling they had to correspond to(和相符) the boy code of hiding their emotions to be a real man. Surprisingly, the findings of the study go against received wisdom that boys do better when taught alongsidegirls. George Carl, headmaster of Eton, warned that boys were being failed by the British education system becauseit had become too focused on girls. He criticized teachers for failing to recognize that boys are actually more emotional than girls. The research argued that boys often perform badly in mixed schools because they become discouraged whengirls do better earlier in speaking and reading skills. But in single-sex schools teachers can adjust lessons to boys learning style, letting them move around theclassroom and getting them to compete in teams to prevent boredom, wrote the studys author, Abigail James, of the University of Virginia.舒中高二统考英语 第6页 (共10页) Teachers could encourage boys to enjoy reading and writing with boy-focused approaches such as themesand characters that appeal to them. Because boys generally have moreacutevision, learn best through touch, and are physically more active, they need to be given hands-on lessons where they are allowed to walk around. Boys in mixed schools view classical music as feminine（女性的) and prefer the modern genre (类型) in which violence and sexism are major themes, James wrote. Single-sex education also made it less likely that boys would feel that they had to be masterful and in chargein relationships. In mixed schools, boys feel forced to act like men before they understand themselves well enough to know what that means, the study reported.32.The writer argues that a single-sex school would _.A. encourage boys to express their emotions more freelyB. help boys to be more competitive in schools. C. force boys to he their emotions to be real men D. naturally strengthen boys traditional image of a man33.Traditionally, in a mixed school boys _. A. behave more responsibly.B. perform relatively better. C.grow up more healthily.D. receive a better education.34. In Abigail James opinion, one of the advantages of single-sex schools is _. A. boys can choose to learn whatever they are interested in B. boys can focus on their lessons without being distracted C. teaching can be adjusted to suiting the characteristics of boys D. teaching can be designed to promote boys team spirit35The underlined word “acute” in paragraph 7 is closest in meaning to _ .A. lovely B. serious C. sharp D. dull第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分。请把答案依次涂到答题卡71-75题）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。 Imagine going to bed not knowing where your next meal is going to come from. 36 Today, nearly 11 percent of people on Earth suffer from hunger, according to a recent State of Food Insecurity in the World report published by the United Nations. But it turns out that this number is something to celebrate! Though the numbers look like a lot, the number of hungry people in the world has actually decreased by about 209 million since 1992. This has been mainly due to the hard work of organizations such as the UN, the FAO and the WFP. According to the WFP, the world produces enough food to feed the entire population of 7 billion people. 37 There are many reasons why food does not go from the producers to the consumers. People living in poverty cannot afford nutritious foods. This makes them weaker and it is harder for them to earn money to escape from poverty and hunger. 38 An average person in the US spends just 6.6% of the income on food. Drought is one of the most common causes of food shortage in the world. 39 In many countries, climate change is worsening the situation. Conflicts around the world can disrupt farming and food production. Fighting forces millions of people to flee their homes. These people dont have the means to feed themselves. 40 Food that is wasted uses up precious natural resources.A. How can we solve the problem?B. Each nation has its own challenges.C. One-third of all food produced is never consumed.D. But not everybody has access to food when they need it.E. That is the fate of nearly 805 million people in the world.F. Natural disasters such as flood and tropical storms can impact food output too.G. Do you know in poor countries people spend over 80% of their earnings on food?第三部分: 英语知识运用(共两节，满分30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，掌握其大意，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C 和 D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。Travis laughed as he tore at the wrapping paper on his birthday present.
