    Tired of all the pushing in supermarkets? Fed up with waiting in endless lines to pay for what you have bought? Angry at wasting time in traffic jams only to find no parking spaces when you eventually arrive at the store? If this is you, then online shopping is the answer to your dreams of trouble-free shopping.
    Online shopping brings its own challenges. Here are a few things to bear in mind when browsing (浏览) various websites. The claim (声称) made by online sites is that shopping online is a safe and secure way to make purchases. The evidence challenges this. In any case, you only have to be the victim(受害者) of fraud (欺骗) once to experience all the problems that come with this form of stealing. Use only sites that have a trusted history and an excellent reputation(名声).
    Another problem is that the appearance of items in reality is often quite different from what you see on your computer screen. This might not be a problem if you are buying washing up powder but could be a major disappointment when that beautiful blue dress you ordered turns up in green. Also, product descriptions are sometimes simply untrue! Perhaps the wisest plan is to purchase items whose design and color are not essential to customer satisfaction.
    Some even argue that online shopping indirectly contributes to global warming. Yes, your car can stay parked but how are online goods delivered? Often by some large van pouring out carbon monoxide and adding to our already desperate traffic problems. You are also by now becoming increasingly irritated(使烦恼) by the fact that the delivery is late !
    Without question, online shopping is here to stay and it has its benefits. However, perhaps it is not as wonderful as some of its supporters claim it to be.
    小题1:How can online shoppers avoid fraud?
    A．By choosing big websites.
    B．By collecting shopping evidence.
    C．By seeking advice from the police.
    D．By using only trusted websites.
    小题2:What does the author tell us about online shopping in Paragraph 3?
    A．Don’t believe product descriptions easily.
    B．Product appearances are always not good.
    C．It is usually wise to buy colorful products.
    D．It is normal for a blue dress to change into green.
    小题3:The author agrees with the fact that        .
    A．online shopping is a safe way to make purchases
    B．customers are never satisfied with products
    C．online shopping has nothing to do with global warming
    D．delivery delay often makes online shoppers unhappy
    小题4:What is the author’s attitude towards online shopping?
    A．It is very popular.
    B．It is a wise choice.
    C．It is a double-edged sword(双刃剑).
    D．It is a waste of time.

    小题1:D

    For generations here in the deepest South, there had been a great taboo（禁忌）: publicly crossing the color line for love. Less than 45 years ago, marriage between blacks and whites was illegal, and it has been forbidden for much of the time since.
    So when a great job about an hour’s drive north of the Gulf Coast attracted him, Jeffrey Norwood, a black college basketball coach, had reservations. He was in a serious relationship with a woman who was white and Asian.
    “You’re thinking about a life in South Mississippi?” his father said in a skeptical voice, recalling days when a black man could face mortal（致命的） danger just being seen with a woman of another race, regardless of intentions. "Are you sure?"
    But on visits to Hattiesburg, the younger Mr. Norwood said he liked what he saw: growing diversity. So he moved, married, and, with his wife, had a baby girl, who was counted on the last census（人口普查） as black, white and Asian. Taylor Rae Norwood, three, is one of thousands of mixed-race children who have made this state home to one of the nation's most rapidly expanding multiracial populations, up 70 percent between 2000 and 2010, according to new data from the Census Bureau.
    In the first comprehensive accounting of multiracial Americans since statistics were first collected about them in 2000, reporting from the 2010 census, made public in recent days, shows that the nation’s mixed-race population is growing far more quickly than many researchers had estimated, particularly in the South and parts of the Midwest. That conclusion is based on the bureau’s analysis of 42 states; the data from the remaining eight states will be released soon.
    In North Carolina, the mixed-race population doubled. In Georgia, it grew by more than 80 percent, and by nearly as much in Kentucky and Tennessee. In Indiana, Iowa and South Dakota, the multiracial population increased by about 70percent.
    Census officials estimated the national multiracial growth rate was about 35 percent since2000 according to the known result, when seven million people ----- 2.4 percent of the population ------ chose more than one race.
    小题1:If a black man married a white woman 50 years ago, the worst result was that _____.
    A．he was sentenced to deathB．he was considered to be immoral
    C．he was criticized by the publicD．he was treated as a lawbreaker
    小题2:The underlined word “serious” in Paragraph 2 can be replaced by “____”.
    A．stableB．badC．mixedD．dangerous
    小题3:What can we infer from Paragraph 4?
    A．Jeffrey Norwood was born in Hattiesburg and grew up there.
    B．Taylor Rae Norwood’s mother is a white-Asian.
    C．70 percent of the people in Mississippi are multiracial.
    D．Mississippi has the largest multiracial population in the US.
    小题4:Which of the following states had the fastest growth rate of mixed-race population?
    A．Georgia.B．Tennessee.C．North Carolina.D．South Dakota.

    Competition. It’s a simple word, yet a very complex word that covers many angles when it comes to how gasoline prices are determined. It seems so easy to explain, but don’t let that trick you—it’s incredibly difficult to explain and adequately understand.
    Say you’re on a Sunday afternoon drive, and notice a gas station near you charging $3.50. Down the road a few miles, that price could easily be 10 or more cents higher or lower. The question is “how” or “why” is that? Think of it this way. Are you more likely to get a better deal on a car if there are two similar car dealers next to each other? Perhaps, because the dealers are too close. Say there is a third similar car dealer miles away. Is he going to be at the same level of competition and sell his cars for the same price as the two dealers next to each other? Likely not. He may charge more or less. Maybe people don't know there are two other dealers down the road. Maybe the dealer is almost outside of the city and the land value isn't as high, so his taxes aren't as high.
    These situations do take place at gas stations. And more factors can impact what a station will charge. Timing can greatly impact what price a station charges as well! Many motorists fail to realize that the price a station pays for gasoline changes daily. If one station gets lucky and buys gas on Monday and the cost goes up Tuesday, the station that bought on Monday doesn’t necessarily have to raise prices like the station that bought on Tuesday. Maybe the station that got caught buying for a higher price on Tuesday will pass that higher cost on by raising its gas price.
    Perhaps the difference is what brand the station is---branded stations usually pay a slightly higher cost for their gasoline. In return for paying a higher cost, those stations are guaranteed first supply in case of emergency situations. Independent stations don’t pay as much, but aren’t guaranteed supply.
    While competition sounds easy to understand, there are always a large number of factors that could influence what one station charges. Keep in mind how many variables there are next time you fill up.
    小题1:What could be the best title for the passage?
    A．How Competition Impacts Gas Prices
    B．Gas Prices Go Up or Down
    C．Competition---a Very Complex Word
    D．We Can’t Stress Enough the Need for Competition
    小题2:The example of car dealers is used to show _________.
    A．car prices are determined by car dealers
    B．location is an important factor in pricing
    C．the quality of service matters most
    D．dealing strategy should be flexible
    小题3:The gas prices of a station always change partly because _________.
    A．a gas station always wants to charge more
    B．the gasoline is in great demand
    C．the cost of the gas the station buys varies daily
    D．gas is in greater need on Monday
    小题4:According to the passage, branded stations _________.
    A．spend less money on their gasoline
    B．have more staff than independent stations
    C．charge less for high quality oil
    D．offer a steady oil supply

    Have you thanked your grandma today? You might want to consider it. A recent study found that kids live longer when a grandmother takes part in their daily lives.
    Most animals die soon after their childbearing years are over. Women, however, often live for many years after they stop having kids.
    　To try to understand why, researchers from Finland looked at birth and death records of two communities from the 18th and 19th centuries, one in Finland and one in Canada. In these communities, 537 Finnish women and 3,290 Canadian women were grandmothers who had lived past the age of 50.
    For every decade they lived beyond 50, the researchers found that the women ended up with an average of two extra grandkids. It didn’t matter what the differences in health or living conditions were between the two communities or from family to family.
    Grandchildren were also more likely to live into adulthood if their grandmothers were alive when they were born. If their grandmothers were younger than 60 at the time, that was even better. The study also found that women had children 2 to 3 years earlier if their own mothers were still alive at that time than those whose mothers had died.
    The researchers suggested that grandmothers have provided important assistance in raising their grandchildren for at least the past 200,000 years. As a result, they helped extend everyone’s lifespan.
    So, don’t take your grandma for granted!
    小题1:How many women in the survey in the two communities were grandmothers who had lived past the age of 50?
    A．537.B．3,290.C．3,827.D．2,753.
    小题2:According to the passage, what influence did it have on a woman if her mother was still alive?
    A．She was also more likely to live into adulthood.
    B．She had children 2 to 3 years earlier.
    C．She ended up with an average of two extra grandkids.
    D．It had no influence on her.
    小题3:How did grandmothers help extend everyone’s lifespan?
    A．They provided them with better living conditions.
    B．They provided assistance in raising their grandchildren.
    C．They helped with housework.
    D．They made everyone happy.
    小题4:According to the passage, we don’t know that _______.
    A．kids live longer when grandmothers take part in their daily lives
    B．most animals die soon after their childbearing years are over
    C．women often live for many years after they stop having kids
    D．grandchildren are less likely to live into adulthood if their grandmothers are alive

    Hotlines have become common in China. Some radio broadcasting stations use hotlines to encourage the listeners to take part in the talk shows.
    That’s a good idea. Yet, the fact is, some people do nothing but break the whole program.
    Some people know little about the topic under discussion. Sometimes they do not even know what the host is talking about. So the host has to tell the caller what the show is about. Usually the caller will ask a few questions which express his hope and show his ignorance (无知). Then the host has to answer and explain—how silly this is! It wastes a lot of time.
    It seems that some people phone the hotlines for fun. They just want to let the listeners hear them. They don’t care what the topic is, whether they themselves are interested or how silly they appear to be.
    I’m totally bored by those people. It’s necessary for radio stations to improve the hotline programmers. In my opinion, if a caller does not know what is going on, the operator should not let the caller take part in it.
    小题1:The sentence “some people do nothing but break the whole program” may tell us that _____.
    A．radio stations use hotlines in a wrong way
    B．it is a fact
    C．it is a good idea
    D．some people have unclear thoughts
    小题2:Some calls waste the host’s time __________.
    A．because the host works hard
    B．because of the caller’s ignorance
    C．because the host likes talking to the caller
    D．because of a lot of questions raised by the caller

    Some Chinese new-rich like eating shark fin soup because they think it shows their class. However, for the Chinese NBA idol Yao Ming, doing so is unacceptable as the practice has led to the overfishing of sharks.
    When Yao and his wife Ye Li got married in 2007, they publicly announced that they would not allow shark fin soup to be served at their wedding banquet.
    Actually, Yao had been saying no to shark fins since 2006, when he was appointed as the Goodwill Ambassador for wild life protection.
    Now, the 226-cm big guy is resorting to his personal influence to encourage more to say no to eating the soup and to raise awareness of animal protection. "Sharks are friends of human beings. They are not our food," Yao said.
    Other celebrity athletes like Olympic champions Li Ning and Kong Linghui are following on the heels of Yao, throwing themselves into serving the public as Goodwill Ambassadors for wild animal rescue. Recent reports about Yao's retirement have saddened tens of thousands of basketball fans both at home and abroad. Yet Yao's influence goes far beyond the basketball courts.
    Yao has engaged himself in charity and public welfare services for quite a while. When the devastating 8.0-magnitude earthquake hit Wenchuan in southwest China in 2008, Yao donated 2 million yuan . "When I was a little boy, my parents and teachers told me to help others and to be a good man," Yao recalled.  "But I could not donate then because I had not much pocket money. After I moved to Houston, I got involved in quite a number of community service activities and I felt a strong sense of achievement when I got people together," Yao said.
    Like Yao, newly crowned French Open champion Li Na has showed her willingness to donate. Li gave 480,000 yuan of her prize money from the open, plus 20,000 yuan from her own pocket, to a local nursing home in her hometown. Another Chinese sports icon, hurdler Liu Xiang, has also been actively involved in charity for years.

    A．Li Na donated 500,000 yuan to a local nursing home in her hometown.

    C．Yao Ming has encouraged more people to stop eating shark fin soup and protect animals.
    D．Yao Ming was appointed as the Goodwill Ambassador for protecting wild life in 2007.
    小题4:What words can be used to describe Yao Ming according to the passage?

    Diao Weihao, a student who studies business English at the Chengdu campus of Sichuan International Studies University, was in his dormitory when the earthquake struck at 2:30 pm on Monday.
    The 22-year-old felt that his chair was shaking. All of a sudden, the textbooks on the bookshelf began to fall to the floor. The glass in the window broke.
    “It felt like our dormitory building was being hit by a tractor,” recalled Diao. “I wasn’t afraid.. I was even excited and curious. Now, looking back, it was a scary experience.”
    Diao and his roommates kept their calm. They didn’t try to get out of the building until the shaking stopped. They were on the fifth floor and they feared there might be trouble if they didn’t remain calm.
    “We’ve watched lots of disaster films, and that helped us keep cool,” he said. “Only one student sprained（扭伤） his ankle. He was escaping in a hurry. Most of us got outside quickly and safely.”
    They were surprised to see so many students outside.
    “I began to realize then what had happened,” he said. The college had warned them that in the event of an earthquake, they should leave the dormitory immediately. A few did rush in when it was safe to grab some clothes to keep warm.
    Without any tents or bedding, the students stayed on the football field for the whole night. Rain started falling in the morning, but the students all kept in good order. They simply chatted and shared their feelings and comforted each other.
    “Our students seemed to have self-control,” he said. “I heard that hospitals in Chengdu have lots of injured people who jumped out of buildings.”
    Now, Diao is mostly worried about the people in Wenchuan County.
    “It seems we won’t be able to have classes in one or two day’s time,” said Diao. “I want to become a volunteer at the damage-hit area, or donate my blood to the injured people in hospital. Also, I will write on my blog to keep people calm and encourage them to protect themselves during emergencies.”
    Since the university is close to Dujiangyan, Diao and his classmates are still forbidden to return to their dorms or classrooms. However, they can eat in the canteen and get information about other parts of Sichuan by reading the newspapers.
    小题1:Where was Diao Weihao when the earthquake happened?
    A．He was in the campus.B．He was in the football field.

    B．The moment they realized what was happening

    Maybelle said she wouldn't be coming with me to the library. I asked why, and she said she could get all the short stories she wanted off the Internet. Saved walking all the way to the library, and putting up with my long chat on the way there, and on the way back. Maybelle is very direct like that, always has been.
    "But, Maybelle, we've been walking to the library every' Monday for the last fifty years!"
    She said," Why don't you get Internet'? We can send each other emails."
    So I had to get Internet. I called the local high school. They said they'd send me a good student to tell me all about computers and such.
    Evil thing, this Internet. Makes you lose old friends, forces you to learn new complex ideas, even if you're too old. But Maybelle said you have to be modern; otherwise, you're dead.
    The kid came the next day. Tall skinny black kid, by tile name of Arsenius, said his work would cost me.

    I wasn't going to show him my ignorance, so I said, "Whatever it takes."
    "Let's go to the mall. You got a car?"
    "In the garage."
    When I opened the garage door, he gasped. Daddy's car is still there, a'57 Chevy. I never drive it. Walk everywhere.
    I said," Let's walk. It's only a mile or so."
    He said," Let's drive, or you will faint on me in this heat."
    "Young man, I don't faint, never have. We're walking."
    "I get paid by the hour," he said. "Walking will cost you a lot more. Also, you feel like carrying a computer a mile or so?"
