It has been regarded as the beginning of the holiday shopping season. Although its not an official holiday, millions of employers give their employees the day off, and many people use that day to get a jump-start on their holiday shopping. A similar day in Canada and Great Britain is called “Boxing Day”.Black Friday has become somewhat of a marketing sensation(营销效应) in recent years. Since 2005, it has been the busiest shopping day of the year. To lure shoppers, retailers (零售商) routinely open their doors as early as 4 a. m. and offer special sales and promotions to the shoppers that arrive early. Some of the special deals offered by stores are only available in limited quantities. That is why some shoppers intent on getting the best deals often camp out in front of stores overnight so that theyll be the first in line when the doors open.But why Black Friday? Historians believe the name started in Philadelphia in the mid-1960s. Bus drivers and police used “Black Friday” to describe the heavy traffic that would block city streets the day after Thanksgiving as shoppers headed to the stores.Businesses, however, didnt like the negative tone associated with the “Black Friday” name. In the early 1980s, a more positive explanation of the name began to spread. According to this alternative explanation, Black Friday is the day when retailers finally begin to turn a profit for the year. In accounting terms (会计行业), operating at a loss is called being “in the red” because accountants traditionally used red ink to show negative amounts. Positive amounts were usually shown in black ink. Thus, being “in the black” is a good thing because it means stores are operating at a profit.Recently, for those who are too busy to shop on Black Friday or who just dont want to fight the crowds, the Monday following Black Friday has become known as Cyber Monday (网络星期一) for the many online deals.1、On Black Friday，the Americans .Adont have to go to work as usualBlook exactly like the CanadiansCare usually busy doing shoppingDstay at home and relax themselves2、The underlined word “lure” (in Paragraph 2) probably means .AprotectBattractCpersuadeDremind3、How do the retailers understand Black Friday?AIt is totally different from Boxing Day.BThey usually lose some money on the day.CIt never keeps them very busy.DIt probably brings them more money.4、The author writes this passage in order to .Astate the development of Cyber MondayBtell the difference between red and blackCintroduce Black Friday to the readersDexplain the meaning of Boxing Day22（8分） So far, this years global music market has definitely been dominated (支配) by women：Beyonce Knowles, Taylor Swirl, and Iggy Azalea are all making waves. And one hot name that adds more conviction to the list is US singer Ariana Grande.Almost exactly a year ago, Grande released her first album, Yours Truly. And over the past 12 months, the 21-year-old former Nickelodeon(an American TV channel for kids and adolescents)star has transformed from a pop artist you might recognize to an outstanding superstar. She now possesses three top 10 singles in the current Billboard Hot 100 chart, an impressive opening performance at this years MTV Video Music Awards, and millions of followers on social networking sites.Her second album, My Everything, which was released on Aug 25, is the latest sign of her coming dominance. It hit No. 1 on the Billboard 200 album chart this week, making her the only other female singer after Scotlands Susan Boyle to have two continuous No. 1 albums in a single year.Grandes strength lies in her powerful voice and wide voiced range. Unlike her companions Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato, Grandes star power is rooted in the fact that she can really sing. More importantly, Grande knows how to control her voice, which is at once strong and sensitive, and use it to expand her musical territory.My Everything is the best example. In this album, Grande literally tries her hand at everything：dance music, R&B jams, hip-hop tunes, power ballads and even 60s-inflected pop.While you can clearly sense her ambition as a singer, you will be impressed by how effortlessly she handles these different styles of music, especially if you have listened to Yours Truly, a more refreshing 90s R&Binfluenced project.Of course, one suggestion for Grandes future music would be for her to display more personality instead of simply showing her voiced talent. But not to worry, based on what weve heard thus far, its safe to say Grande is well on her way to growing into her own.1、Which of the following contributes to Grandes great success?AThe impressive opening performance.BHer followers on social networking sites.CThe influence of 60s pop and 90s R&BDHer powerful voice and wide voiced range.2、We can conclude from the last paragraph that Grande_.Alikes to show off her voiceBis a promising superstarClacks her own personalityDhas difficulty going further3、What can we learn about Ariana Grande?AShe prefers hip-hop tunes in particular.BShe used to be a pop star in a TV channel.CShe has two top 10 singles of Billboards Hot 100.DShe is the only singer to have two No. 1 albums in a year.4、Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?AA Rising Music GeniusBThe Music Market of WomenCSusan Boyle and Her CompanionsDDifferent Styles of Grandes Music23（8分）“You can choose your friends, but you cant choose your family.” That line comes from American writer Harper Lees book To Kill a Mockingbird. Now compare her words to another famous expression: “Blood is thicker than water”.However, if forced to choose which is more important, American researchers now say friendship is more important than family. Their new study suggests that friends may be more important than family members, especially as we age.The study comes from researchers at Michigan State University. They found the importance of friendship on health and happiness grows as people get older.William Chopik is an assistant professor of psychology at Michigan State and was one of the lead researchers in this study. He says, “Friendship becomes even more important as we age. Keeping a few really good friends around can make a world of difference for our health and well-being.” Chopik notes that we need to think of friendship as an investment in our future happiness.The Michigan State researchers considered information from two separate surveys. In the first group, both family and friendships influenced overall health and happiness. However, in the second, researchers said that friendships “became a stronger predictor of health and happiness” as people get older. Also in the second group, unhealthy friendships led to increased chronic conditions. But with supportive friends, Chopik noted, participants reported being happier.One reason is that people can keep the friendships that make them feel good and move on from the ones that dont. Family, on the other hand, will always be with you. They can be helpful and enjoyable, but can also cause troubles.This may be good news for people who dont have strong ties with family members. Not all of us are born into the families we need. But we all have the ability to choose friends that we need.1、94What should we invest to get later well-being according to the researchers?AGood friend ties. BEasy health exercises.CCommon family relations. DPersonal relation knowledge.2、96How is the research carried out?ABy doing two experiments. BBy interviewing all at once.CBy conducting two surveys. DBy taking part in activities.3、98What can the people with weak family ties do?ADevelop stronger family relations. BMake as many friends as possible.CGet more supportive friends. DStay with family members.4、100What is the main idea of the passage?AFriends and family members are equally important.BWhen we grow older, friendship matters more.CAs we age, family members are more valuable.DWe always need friends and family members.24（8分） A while back I caught a news report on something called couch surfing and the network of trusting souls who make this phenomenon possible. They offer to put up travelers free of charge and help them on their ways. At first, it sounded unbelievable. I mean, inviting strangers into ones home for one or two nights? Give me a break.However, I was intrigued. I decided to investigate. The only way to truly learn about this phenomenon was to dive in. So I planned a trip to Finland, a country Ive always wanted to explore. I would couch surf at every stop there.If ever any anxiety existed when stepping into the unknown, it disappeared when my first host met me at the train station. Ari looked like my idea of a typical Finn: tall and blue-eyed. Finns were also supposed to be famously reserved (寡言少语的). Ari was anything but. He was a live wire, giving me an enthusiastic welcome and hiking with me to his apartment, where he showed me the sleeper sofa, served me tea, and engaged me in warm conversations. He also handed me a key to come and go as I pleased.If this was what couch surfing was all about trust and friendship then I had gotten off to a good start. As I boarded my next train to continue my journey, I began to think about this couch-surfing idea. What urged these people to open their homes to strangers? I concluded that there was a desire to lend a hand to like-minded folks who might enrich their own lives.Seven cities in 14 days. Seven hosts. Seven new friends. If couch surfing taught me anything, its this: Most people are good and generous. Where will couch surfing take me next? Who knows? But I cant wait to find out.1、Which of the following best explains intrigued underlined in the second paragraph?ARelaxed.BDisgusted.CInterested.DEmbarrassed.2、What can we know about Ari?AHe was reserved like most Finns.BHe talked less but he was friendly.CHe treated the author as a friend.DHe saw off the author at the train station.3、Why did people offer couch surfing to strangers?ATo take an adventure with strangers.BTo exchange houses for a short time.CTo learn more about others family lives.DTo enrich their own lives by helping others.4、What can be the suitable title for the text?ATravel on Trust and CouchesBA Free Travel in FinlandCExperiences in Strangers HousesDA Plan for Couch Surfing25（10分） Pinewood Studios is located (位于) about twenty miles west of central London and named after the pinetrees in the grounds. Pinewood has been at the heart of both British and international film production. The house, Heatherden Hall, was bought by Charles Boot in 1934, and he and J. Arthur Rank became partners in the project to build the studios. Pinewood proved pioneering in its use of the “unit system” that allowed more than one film to be made at a time,and this enabled Pinewood to achieve the highest output of all the studios in the world. The first film to be completed at Pinewood was Talk of the Devil (1936, Reed) while the immediate postwar period saw six major productions including the praised Oliver Twist ( 1948 , Lean ) and The Red Shoes
