21、 I wandered into the small store where I usually buy milk,when the store owner received a call from a customer. The customer and his wife had shopped there several months earlier. He noticed that his wife really liked one thing in the store,so he wanted to buy it as a surprise.
But the customer was in Tennessee,far away from the store which was in Maine. What was more,he had been to the store several months earlier,and it was difficult to believe that the store owner would remember him,or what he was looking for.
The store owner took a few close-up photos with her camera,and e-mailed them to the customer on the computer. The customer looked at the photos,and decided which one he wanted. They talked and discussed a price over the phone. She took care of the credit card transaction (交易) online,and promised the gift would be shipped out that afternoon.
The store owner was really smart. She was willing to push herself to find new ways to make the transaction actually happen. And it did work. However,it was the first time she had ever done it.
I was amazed that the store owner discovered a creative solution that could lead to a new way of doing business. I was impressed by what she did—so easily,but how difficult it is for many of us to make that leap (飞跃). I'm not just talking about technology,but about learning how to adapt to change. Most people hate or fear change unless they get to know exactly what change needs to be made. However,we should realize that challenge and opportunity go hand in hand.
【1】According to the passage,which of the following is TRUE?
A.The customer had ever been to the store before.
B.The owner often did business by using her camera.
C.The owner and the customer discussed the price on the computer.
D.The gift was sent out by train that afternoon.
【2】The author was impressed by the store owner because .
A.she was always ready to help others
B.she told the writer how to run a store
C.she managed to find a new way when facing change
D.she was a successful businesswoman
【3】What's the correct order of the store owner's solution?
a. e-mailing the photos to the customer on the computer
b. taking care of the credit card transaction online
c. taking a few close-up photos with her camera
d. talking about the price of the gift with the customer
A.bcda
B.abcd
C.cabd
D.cadb
【4】Which of the following words can best describe the store owner?
A.Tumorous
B.Creative
C.Confident
D.Honest
22、Are you interested in hi-tech products? Here are some that you might find at the market pretty soon.
CX-1
Tired of dragging your bag through busy airports? Then you might want to consider CX-1. The smart suitcase uses facial recognizing software to follow its owner as he / she is checking in or heading to the gate. Though CX-1 can only move at a speed of up to seven miles per hour, a tiny tool enables owners to keep track of the suitcase’s location. It is expected to be sold on the market by late 2018.
Aibo
Sony’s latest version of the Aibo robotic dog is almost as fun as the real thing—but much less work. The pet dog can recognize its owner, obey several commands, and even recall the behavior that pleases its master the most. Aibo can also learn new tricks, take photographs, and over time, develop its own unique personality.
Forpheus
Forpheus, an “athletic” robot developed by Japanese technology company Omron. It teaches users how to play ping-pong. The 10-feet-tall machine uses a camera and artificial intelligence to track the ball’s speed and can predict the ball’s direction correctly. The smart Forpheus can also quickly test its player’s abilities and adjust the playing level, making the game fun.
Black Box VR
Though many people determine to go to the gym once a week, few reach their goal. Black Box VR wants to change that by turning hard exercise into fun video games. Using it, gym users will find themselves fighting enemies, including big creatures—all while getting exercise.
【1】What is the feature of CX-1?
A. It can be opened by facial expressions.
B. It can recognize and follow its owner.
C. It can move very fast in busy places.

C. Forpheus. D. Black Box VR.
23、 There are plenty of things to do while at home, from watching heartwarming TV to indoor fitness, but if you want to do something with the whole family, a board game is the perfect activity.
Telestrations
It is like a combination of the whisper game Telephone and Pictionary. Players draw a word and pass their sketch to the player next to them, who writes down the word they think the first player draws. The next player draws the word the previous player writes down, and the game continues in this way until the final drawing or description comes out wildly different from the original one. It is most popular among kids.
Catan
A slightly more involved game than Risk or Monopoly, Catan, previouly known as Settlers of Catan or Settlers, has become popular in the past decade or so beyond board game enthusiasts. In the game, which has many expansions available if you get bored with the original, players become “settlers”, each trying to build up individual settlements while trading resources. The bigger your settlement, the more points, and the first to a set number wins.
Ticket to Ride
It is an easy-to-understand game that is about something as simple as trains. Players use colored train cars that they are able to obtain by collecting cards of the same color to create train routes across a map of the U. S. Expansion packs have many other maps to choose from. Bigger train routes give you more points, as do building the routes shown on the secret ticket cards you draw at the beginning of the game.
Lords of Waterdeep
This board game from the makers of Dungeons Dragons is definitely more complex but is one of the most enjoyable games once you understand all the rules. Beautifully designed in fantasy style, Waterdeep is a “worker placement game”, in which players use agents to gather resources to complete quests, which generate victory points. Whoever has the most at the end of the game wins.
【1】In which of the following board games is drawing needed?
A.Telestrations.
B.Catan.
C.Ticket to Ride.
D.Lords of Waterdeep.
【2】Who will be the winner in Catan?
A.The one becoming the first settler.
B.The one getting needed points first.
C.The one gathering the most resources.
D.The one creating the most train routes.
【3】What do the four board games have in common?
A.They have many expansions.
B.They ask players to get points.
C.They involve more than one player.
D.They are easy to understand and play.

The Shepherd’s Life by James Rebanks
Reviewed by Helena
No lyrical, romantic account, but a hard-bitten, dull and down-to-earth story of a family, a community and an environment. A story of cycles — of seasons, years, people, generations, stretches back centuries. A story of farming which only exists now in the remoter, wilder regions of the UK, where the land is too hard and the environment too harsh for farming to be an “agribusiness”. Where success, survival of farms, their sheep are dependent on knowledge passed down through generations and shared between farmers and shepherds in a small, close-knit and mutually-dependent community. A story of people hefted to their land every bit as much as their sheep are hefted to their fells.
A Month in the Country by J.L.Carr
Reviewed by L. R. Fisher
It is unbelievably simple and delightfully slow-paced, full of Lawrence-like description of a vanished (消失的) country landscape. The focal points are a casual and peculiar friendship between two war-scarred, shell-shocked men Tom Birkin and Moon. In a book barely 100 pages long, the author not only manages to give us a story that flows like a stream, but also achieves impressive characterization, bitter feelings of war and a corresponding celebration of peace, a little suspense, and even a twist in the tail.
A Walk in the Woods by Bill Bryson
Reviewed by T. Bently
Having read all of Bill Bryson’s travel books, this was the last one left. I hadn’t read this because I had been told it was one of his weakest one. But I decided, through no other reason that I needed a hit of Bryson, to read it. People couldn’t have been more wrong. From the very beginning of assessing the feasibility, arranging for Katz to accompany him to the purchasing of his equipment and the purchasing of “a large knife for killing bears and hillbillies”, Bryson is at his absolute best. His cute eye is a wise witness to this beautiful but fragile trail. His encounters along the trail and Katz anti-social, childish antics (滑稽动作) make the first 150 pages more than a laugh-out-loud hike. I couldn’t have been more surprised. An adventure, a comedy, and a celebration, A Walk in the Woods is destined to become a modern classic.
【1】In The Shepherd’s Life, James Rebanks takes readers through a shepherds’ life ________.
A.featuring a hard struggle in the remote and beautiful area
B.alternated by the seasons and changed by the generations
C.little noticed, and deeply attached to the harsh land
D.spent in a profitable agricultural and friendly community
【2】From the review of A Month in the Country we can learn that Tom and Moon ________.
A.have lived in a slow-paced country throughout their life
B.are war survivors with troubled memories
C.were deafened by the explosion of a shell in the war
D.will make the end of their story more fascinating to read
【3】By saying “People couldn’t have been more wrong”, the reviewer wants to say that ________.
A.Bryson’s travel book is the best seller in travelling literature
B.Bryson’s travelling experience is laughable
C.it’s a pity that people turn a blind eye to Bryson’s travelling experience
D.A Walk in the Wood combines artistic quality well with natural beauty

26、阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Once, there was a poor boy. He made a living by selling things from door to door. Through this, he could earn some money to pay for his school.
One day, as he was walking from house to house as usual, he felt very hungry and weak. He felt that he couldn't walk even a few steps. He decided to ask for food at a house. So he knocked at the door. He was amazed to see a very beautiful young girl open the door for him. He asked the girl for a glass of water instead of a meal.
The young girl thought he must be hungry and thirsty. So she offered him a huge glass of milk. With a surprised look, the boy drank the milk very slowly. At once, he felt he was full of energy.
"How much do I pay you for this milk?" he asked the girl.
"I do not want any money for this," she replied. "Morn has taught me never to accept pay for a kindness."
The boy thanked the girl from the bottom of his heart and left the place. As the boy left that house, he felt stronger physically. He thought he must do something else to help others.
Years passed by quickly. Both the boy and the young girl grew up. In the girl's youth, unluckily, she fell ill. She suffered from an uncommon disease. It was hard for the local doctors to cure her. Even many doctors with rich experience didn't know how to cure her. Finally, she was sent to a hospital in a big city. There were many excellent doctors and the most advanced skills in the hospital.
Dr. Kevin was a well-known doctor. He was called in by the hospital to examine the girl. When he heard the name of the town that she came from, a strange light filled his eyes. Immediately, he rose and went down through the hospital hall into her room.
注意:
