Instead both men opened bookshops on opposite sides of Coleford High Street. It was hard to make money from books, which made the competition between them worse.Then Richard married a mysterious girl. The couple spent their honeymoon on the coastbut Richard never came back. The police found his wallet on a deserted beach but the body was never found. He must have drowned.Now with only one bookshop in town, business was better for George. But sometimes he sat in his narrow, old kitchen and gazed out of the dirty window, thinking about his formal rival(竞争对手). Perhaps he missed him?George was very interested in old dictionaries. Hed recently found a collector in Australia who was selling a rare first edition. When the parcel arrived, the book was in perfect condition and George was delighted. But while he was having lunch, George glanced at the photo in the newspaper that the book had been wrapped in. He was astonishedthe smiling face was older than he remembered but unmistakable! Trembling, George started reading.“Bookends have bought ten bookstores from their rivals Dylans. The company, owned by multi-millionaire Richard Pike, is now the largest bookseller in Australia.”21.

They have no school. Yet they all can chant the English alphabet（字母表）, and some can make words. The key to their success: 20 tablet computers(平板电脑) dropped off in their Ethiopian village in February by a U.S. group called One Laptop Per Child. The goal is to find out whether kids using todays new technology can teach themselves to read in places where no schools or teachers exist. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology researchers analyzing the project data say theyre already amazed. “What I think has already happened is that the kids have already learned more than they would have in one year of kindergarten,” said Matt Keller, who runs the Ethiopia program. The fastest learnerand the first to turn on one of the tabletsis 8-year-old Kelbesa Negusse. The devices camera was disabled to save memory, yet within weeks Kelbesa had figured out its workings and made the camera work. He called himself a lion, a marker of accomplishment in Ethiopia. With his tablet, Kelbasa rearranged the letters HSROE into one of the many English animal names he knows. Then he spelled words on his own. “Seven months ago he didnt know any English. Thats unbelievable,” said Keller. The project aims to get kids to a stage called “deep reading,” where they can read to learn. It wont be in Amharic, Ethiopias first language, but in English, which is widely seen as the ticket to higher paying jobs. 25. What can we infer from Kellers words in Paragraph 3? A. They need more time to analyze data. B. More children are needed for the research. C. He is confident about the future of the project. D. The research should be carried out in kindergartens. 26. How does the Ethiopia program benefit the kids in the village? A. It trains teachers for them. B. It contributes to their self-study. C. It helps raise their living standards. D. It provides funds for building schools. 27. What is the aim of the project? A. To offer Ethiopians higher paying jobs. B. To make Amharic widely used in the world. C. To help Ethiopian kids read to learn in English. D. To assist Ethiopians in learning their first language. 28. It amazed Keller that with the tablet Kelbesa could _. A. learn English words quickly. B. draw pictures of animals. C. write letters to researchers. D. make phone calls to his friends. C Low-Cost Gifts for Mothers DayGift No. IOffer to be your mothers health friend.

The products displayed (展示) at the entrance? Or the soft background music?But have you ever notice the smell? Unless it is bad, the answer is likely to be no. But while a shops scent may not be outstanding compared with sights and sounds, it is certainly there. And it is providing to be an increasing powerful tool in encouraging people to purchase.A brand store has become famous for its distinctive scent which floats through the fairly dark hall and out to the entrance, via scent machines. A smell may be attractive but it may not just be used for freshening air. One sports goods company once reported that when it first introduced scent into its stores, customers intention to purchase increased by 80 percent.When it comes to the best shopping streets in Pairs, scent is just as important to a brands success as the quality of its window displays and goods on sales. That is mainly because shopping is a very different experience to what it used to be.Some years ago, the focus for brand name shopping was on a few people with sales assistants disproving attitude and dont-touch-what-you-cant-afford displays. Now the rise of electronic commerce (e-commerce电子商务) has opened up famous brands to a wider audience. But while e-shops can use sights and sounds, only bricks-and-mortar stores (实体店) can offer a full experience from the minute customers step through the door to the moment they leave. Another brand store seeks to be much more than a shop, but rather a destination. And scent is just one way to achieve this.Now a famous store uses complex man-made smell to make sure that the soft scent of baby powder floats through the kid department, and coconut (椰子) scent in the swimsuit section. A department store has even opened a new lab, inviting customers on a journey into the stores windows to smell books, pots and drawers, in search of their perfect scent.32. E-shops are mentioned in the passage to _ .A. introduce the rise of e-commerce B. urge shop assistants to change their attitudeC. push stores to use sights and sounds D. show the advantages of brick-and-mortar stores33. The underlined word “destination” in Paragraph 5 means _ .A. a platform that exhibits goods B. a spot where travelers like to stayC. a place where customers love to go D. a target that a store expects to meet34. The main purpose of the passage is to _ .A. compare and evaluate B. inform and explain C. examine and assess D. argue and discuss35. According to the passage, what is an increasingly powerful tool in the success of some brand store?A. Unique scents. B.Friendly assistant. C. Soft background musicD. attractive window display.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 Be ConfidentWe are all human and have weaknesses. Even if your physical appearance or social skills arent what you wish they were, that doesnt have to stop you from being confident. (36)_*Make a list of special talents you have, or things you do that are goodmorally（道德上） or otherwise. It doesnt have to be a specific skill；it can be an approach or an attitude that you hold through life. (37)_ Are you very patient with people? Do you always see the humorous side of things? Are you always there for your friends? *(38)_ When you feel strongly about something, speak loudly and clearly and make eye contact with people.
