    Laziness is a state of inaction. It is something that you do, not something that you are. Being lazy means you have no         to do anything. This is obvious but the mistake that many people make is          themselves as someone who is lazy.
    Lazy people are often seen as useless.      , are they really being lazy or are they acting lazy? There is a huge difference between saying you are lazy sometimes and you are a lazy person. One is suggesting that your laziness is       while the other suggests that it’s permanent. This is the myth of laziness. People who are lazy aren’t lazy; they      are people who are temporarily acting that way.
    So what causes a person to be inactive? The answer is a lack of goals. If you give someone a good enough     to do something, he will do it. People who don’t seem to do anything just haven’t found a good enough reason to do something. Lazy students don’t study because they don’t see the        in studying. For example, if you are too lazy to clean out the garage, would someone        a gun to your head help you take action? The reason can be positive or negative     it’s strong enough to induce(引起) action.
    To motivate someone who is lazy, what you need to do is to help him find enough     to work towards a certain goal.

    试题分析：本文介绍了导致人变懒惰的原因是没有明确的目标，要想改变这种状态就要为他找到明确的目标。
    小题1:考查名词。 Motivation动机；question问题；promotion提升，晋升；courage勇气，胆量。句意是：懒惰意思指你没有动力做事情。A选项更贴近语境，故选A。
    小题2:考查词组。 Agreeing同意；denying否认；identifying识别； refusing拒绝。句意是：这是显而易见的,但很多人犯的错误是确定自己是懒惰的人。短语Identify oneself证明自己（的身份），故选C。
    小题3:考查连词。 Otherwise否则，另外；Besides此外，而且；However然而； Therefore因此，所以。上句说懒惰的人看起来是没有用的，下一句是他们是真懒还是假懒呢，有上下语句可看出这里有转折的意思，故选C。
    。句意是：在她居住的德国乡村没有“提供”夜校课程，所以她选择了网络学习方式。故选B。
    小题4:考查形容词。Correct正确的；false错误的；temporary暂时的；inspirational鼓舞人心的。根据下半句“while the other suggests that it’s permanent”还是表明它是永久的，这有对比意为，形容词应是反义的，temporary暂时的与 permanent永久的反义词，故选C。
    小题5:考查副词。 Simply简单地，仅仅；occasionally偶尔，间或；often常常；hardly几乎不，简直不。根据“This is the myth of laziness. People who are lazy aren’t lazy”和“ people who are temporarily acting that way”可知这只是懒惰的一种假象。懒惰的人不是真正的懒，只是人们短暂的表现方式，故选A。
    小题6:考查名词。Excuse借口，理由；gift礼物；chance机会；purpose目的，用途。上句说导致一个人不活跃的原因是没有目标，因此在下一句中说只要给他一个足够好的目标就会做好。好的故选D。
    小题7:考查名词。Point要点；success成功；situation情况；difficulty困难。句意是：懒惰的学生不学习是因为他们看不到学习的重要，四个选项中只有point与语境贴切，故选A。
    小题8:考查动词。Dropping落下；pointing指向；shooting射击；hiding隐藏。句意是：例如，如果你懒得清理车库，会有人拿枪指着你的头帮你采取行动吗？四个选项中只有pointing与语境贴切，故选B。
    小题9:考查连词词组。as long as只要；as soon as一...就...；so that以便，所以； in case万一，假使。句意是：可以积极或消极的原因只要是强大到足以诱导行动。故选A。

    It's slim­budget time in Las Vegas
    Las Vegas? It's where half­price flights are wide open and where reservations are easily booked on a moment's notice. Tourism is down, so rooms are plentiful, as well as inexpensive.
    Getting there: The best way to get there from McCarran Airport is to exit the baggage claim through Door 11 and check in at any number of shuttle booths. Shuttle vans that run between the airport and the Las Vegas Strip cost $6 for a one­way trip.
    Leaving Las Vegas：Many Vegas vacationers are eager to get there and slow to leave. So take the “red­eye” back home. Most red­eye flights leave around midnight, leaving you with an extra night of gaming, and fun without added expense of a higher hotel charge. You can sleep the whole way home.
    Romantic getaway: Las Vegas is no longer all about gaming. The artwork at the Bellagio Gallery of Fine Art is certainly comparable to that at the Louvre. Speaking of Paris, take a trip up the Eiffel Tower at Paris­Las Vegas. The Eiffel Tower Experience costs just $10($7 for kids) and is unquestionably worth the price of admission. For an intimate evening, don't hesitate to book reservations at the Eiffel Tower Restaurant. Get an impressive nighttime view of the Fountains at Bellagio by asking for seating alongside the floor­to­ceiling windows. This is truly a one­of­a­kind fine­dining experience. Details：www.parislasvegas.com.
    Be sure to wear comfortable shoes：Casinos(娱乐场) can appear very close together, but actually may not be. Know the tram systems that run up and down the Strip. Most tram lines are free.
    Shows：Purchase show tickets at one of the many “Half Priced Show” booths on the Strip. You can experience a unique show each night of your stay. Need a look at what's playing when you'll be there? Visit www.booklasvegasshows.com.
    Buffets：In Vegas you can take anything to the next level—including eating. Seven casinos on the Strip have teamed up to bring you an amazing deal：seven buffets—breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner—all for just $44.99 within a 24­hour period. Details：www.harrahs.com/total/las­vegas/buffet­of­buffets.
    小题1:What is the author's purpose of writing the passage?
    A．To introduce the present situation of Las Vegas.
    B．To attract readers to travel to Las Vegas.
    C．To tell readers how to go to Las Vegas.

    the­roller­coaster.aspx

    Do you know when and where ice cream got its start? It's an international favorite with a long and interesting history
    The earliest ices were eaten in China many years ago. The people would put orange juice on ice .Later, this idea traveled to Italy. Nero, the emperor of Rome between 37 and 68 A.D, liked to eat ices as a special treat between violin lessons. He ordered runners to run to the mountains, get snow and quickly run back to the palace; The snow was mixed with fruit juices and nuts.
    Around 1660,Coffee shops serving ice cream were very popular in Paris. Most of the coffee shops were owned by Italians. The first successful one was opened by a man from Sicily named Francesco Procopio.
    Ice cream was probably brought to America in the early 1700's, and quickly became the favorite of American presidents. George Washington had ice cream pots and machines in his kitchen. Dolly Madison the wife of President Madison, was the first person to actually serve it in the White House. She made her guests very  happy when she served her favorite dessert.
    Before ice cream was sold in stores, it was made and frozen at home. it took a lot of work to mix cream，eggs，fruit，and salt, and then to freeze it. Nancy Johnson, an American woman who was good with machines, invented the hand-turned ice cream freezer in 1846. Five years later, Jacob Fluse opened the first ice cream business, in Baltimore, Maryland His business quickly spread to other states. Today in the United States,  ice cream is not only a food , it is away of life.

    The Happiest Cities On Earth
    If you’re looking for a cheery destination for your next vacation, consider these four spots and get ready to take notes on how to really live the good life.
    Singapore
    With one of the highest population densities（密度）in the world and residents known for being workaholics, it’s hard to imagine the city-state of Singapore having one of the happiest populations on earth. And yet in a recent survey, 95% of them said they were either very happy or quite happy.
    They give their city high marks for cleanliness and safety—subways are pristine (洁净的) and unfailingly arrive on time, and police are seen as helpful and good at their jobs. What’s more, they feel they can count on their neighbours—all 5.1 million of them.
    Arhus, Denmark
    The residents of Arhus cheerfully part with 68% of their income in taxes, knowing that in return they will be guaranteed free healthcare, free daycare, and a top-notch (第一流的) education for their children.
    An energetic city of 300,000 with a lively cultural scene and a diverse number of religions represented, the sense of equality (the range in incomes is narrow), as well as easy access to the nearby sea and surrounding countryside, make Arhus seem more like a small town.
    San Luis Obispo, CA
    According to a 2008 Gallup-Healthways study, people who live in San Luis Obispo are more likely than residents of other U.S. cities to smile and experience joy and are less likely to experience pain or depression. About 64,000 of the 260,000 people in the greater metropolitan area (都市区), located halfway between Los Angeles and San Francisco, volunteer at over 11,000 non-profit organizations.
    Few journeys to work are longer than 10 minutes (one reason its members rank in the upper third for job satisfaction), so “it’s easy to be involved,” resident Pierre Rademaker said. Business signs are unobtrusive (不显眼的) by law, fewer than 11% of residents smoke—the lower rate in the U.S.—there are lots of bike lanes, and the city’s plaza draws crowds of people for free concerts on summer Fridays. What’s not to love?
    Monterrey, Mexico
    The people of Monterrey don’t enjoy high household incomes or access to good healthcare. Instead, there’s a profound sense of gratitude for the new political freedom enjoyed since the oppressive Institutional Revolutionary Party lost power in 2000—the first time in nearly a century—as well as an emphasis on social life over work.
    Another reason Monterrey residents may be so happy is their faith in God and family, and their ability to tough it out through bad times.
    “We laugh at sickness, poverty and even death,” says Basanez, a political scientist who lives in Monterrey. “We even have a holiday to celebrate death. November 2, the Day of the Dead, is one of the biggest holidays of the year.”
    小题1:According to the passage, what do the residents in the four cities have in common?
    A．All the residents can make great fortunes by working hard.
    B．The residents there are mostly educators.
    C．All the residents enjoy enough material wealth.
    D．The majority of the residents are satisfied with their current life.
    小题2:According to the passage, we can infer that _______.
    A．the people of Singapore expect their neighbours to come to their help when necessary
    B．the people of Monterrey even observe one’s death on a special day of a year
    C．the residents of Arhus happily pay 68% of their income for their children’s education fee
    D．the people who live in San Luis Obispo have job satisfaction because they can enjoy good working conditions
    小题3:According to the passage which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?
    A．The people of Monterrey didn’t enjoy political freedom until 2000.
    B．The residents in Singapore feel happy because of its low population density.
    C．The people of San Luis Obispo can enjoy free concerts in summer.
    D．Arhus is handy to the seaside and countryside.
    小题4:What can we learn from the underlined part “the sense of equality”?
    A．The residents of Arhus have no racial discrimination.
    B．Arhus is considered as a family sharing everything with each other.
    C．There is no wide gap between the rich and the poor in Arhus.
    D．The residents of Arhus can depend on their neighbours to help.

    Why do Chinese people love hot pot so much? As the winter months begin to settle in, I find myself wondering what it is about this traditional meal, which has existed for more than 1，000 years, that makes it a Chinese food favorite．But it seems that the answer lies beyond the dish itself．
    Hot pot isn't just designed to keep you warm during the cold months; it's also a social experience．It's a "theater” cuisine that turns a meal into an event．There is a lot of fun for everyone to have in adding ingredients to the hot pot．
    Hot pot is eaten over two to three hours．For this reason, it is often, considered an evening's entertainment, and time to spend with friends and family．However, many westerners would be put off by the idea of other people sticking chopsticks in their food．When we come to eat at the table in the UK, we tend to have our own individual portions （份额）, although the experience is still a social one．
    A similar experience to the hot pot one can be found in Korean barbecue restaurants, which let you cook your own meat．This allows people to have their meat done however they want．
    For most Westerners, the idea of going to a restaurant to cook their own food is bizarre （古怪的）．But having given hot pot a go, I find it's now one of my favorite meals in Beijing．The steam from the pot left my clothes smelling of food when I got home, but perhaps this is also part of the experience．When the chilly （刺骨的） wind is blowing outside, just grab （抓） some chopsticks, some good friends, and dig in．For me it's like throwing a dinner party where my taste buds （味蕾） and my appetite are equally satisfied in the warm company of friends．
    小题1:According to the author, hot pot is popular in China because ________．
    A．it is a fun social experience
    B．it has been developing for over 1,000 years
    C．it involves many unique ingredients
    D．it keeps people warm in winter and it is creative
    小题2:We can conclude from the article that generally British people _______.
    A．prefer a Korean barbecue to Chinese hot pot
    B．find it interesting to cook their own food in restaurants
    C．don't like sharing food with others
    D．don't mind the smell of food staying on their clothes after dinner
    小题3:The underlined word "put off" in the third paragraph probably means _____
    A．excitedB．disappointedC．puzzledD．discouraged
    小题4:What is the tone of the article?
    A．AppreciativeB．LongingC．Humorous．D．Serious．

    Dutch treat is a late-nineteenth-century term, and it originally refers to a dinner where everyone is expected to pay for his own share of the food and drink. If people go “Dutch treat”, or simply “go Dutch”, it means that they will share the expenses of a social engagement.
    There are many other “Dutch” expressions in English, many of which were invented in Britain in the seventeenth century, when the Dutch and the English were commercial and military rivals. The British used “Dutch” to refer to something bad, cheap and shameful. A “Dutch bargain” at that time was an uneven, one-sided deal; “Dutch reckoning” was an unitemized(未逐条记载的) account; and “Dutch widow” was slang for prostitute. Later centuries brought in “Dutch courage”, for bravery caused by drink; “Dutch concert”, for noisy music; “Dutch nightingale”, meaning a frog; and “double Dutch”, for incomprehensible language or talk.
    Some of the expressions are still in use today, but some are not. In fact, in American English, some “Dutch” expressions have nothing to do with the Dutch, but something with the German. It was probably because of the similar spelling and pronunciation that people made a mistake in distinguishing between “Dutch” and “Deutsch” (the German word for German), when German immigrants came to America in the 1700s. For instance, “the Pennsylvania Dutch” refers to the German descendants, instead of the Dutch descendants, living in Pennsylvania.
    小题1:Many of the “Dutch” expressions were invented with negative sense, because ___________.
    A．The Dutch were underdeveloped people.
    B．Britain and Holland were competitors at that time.
    C．The Dutch had many bad habits.
    D．The British were superior to the Dutch.
    小题2: With the information you get from Paragraph 2, make a guess at the meaning of the sentence “You are in Dutch”. It probably means ____________ .
    A．You are in Holland. B．You are welcome.
    C．You are in trouble. D．You are lucky.
    小题3:According to the passage, some native American “Dutch” expressions were related to the German instead of the Dutch, simply because ______________.
    A．People hated the German as much as the Dutch.
    B．People made a mistake at the beginning.
    C．People made a joke about the German.
    D．The German immigrants proclaimed that they were Dutch.

    A new retail phenomenon from Japan which allows customers to walk away with free products is to launch in Britain.
    From tomorrow, visitors to Sample Trend’s central London store can try anything on its shelves, and all of the products can be taken home without charge. For a nominal annual membership fee of £60, users are free to enter the shop once a month and help themselves to no less than £250 worth of goods every year. The only ‘catch’ is that shoppers are asked to complete a simple questionnaire about each product they try.
    Known as ‘try-vertising’, the concept allows manufacturers to test products and receive consumer feedback before launching onto the open market. It is already very popular in Japan and now looks set to transform the fortunes of the embattled（严阵以待的） UK retail industry. According to new figures, stores are facing a Christmas crisis with the weakest High Street trading for six months.
    Michael Ghosh, the brainchild（创意者）behind Sample Trend, said: “The concept behind Sample Trend is unique in the UK. It allows shoppers the opportunity to walk away with a number of real, full-size products of their choosing without handing over a penny.”
    The concept of in-store try-vertising is simple but effective. Businesses across all sectors, from cosmetic manufacturers to beverage（饮料） makers, place new products on the shelves at Sample Trend and wait for consumers to try them out.
    Customers complete a short 10-point questionnaire about the product, and the feedback they provide is used to make any last-minute improvement before the product is brought officially to market. The Sample Trend store stocks everything from cosmetics, food and drink, and household goods.
    Ghosh, the former advertising and sales director for Disney Europe, said such feedback may also build brand loyalty from the outset---a particularly appealing prospect for new businesses.
    小题1:What can we know about the Sample Trend?
    A．It has turned out to be a success in London.
    B．The goods in the shop are free for everyone
    C．The customers can only go to it once a month.
    D．It sells everything people need.
    小题2:The word “catch” (in para2) can be replaced by _________
    A．advantageB．disadvantageC．problemD．requirement
    小题3:The customers need to fill a questionnaire to________
    A．give suggestions for the products
    B．recommend the products
    C．give feedback about the products
    D．express their thanks

    Most magazines, whether online or print, will include book reviews. However, most editors and staff writers are usually too busy to read books and review them themselves. Therefore, writing book reviews can be a great way to get started with a writing career. How do you write a great book review that will be sure to be noticed? Follow these tips to write a really interesting and unique book review.
    Start with a description of the book. Many people that are reading your review may not know anything about the book you’re reviewing. Instead of making readers go find information on their own by searching for the book title, start out with a little description of the book. Make sure you avoid too long of a summary. Start with a short paragraph or so that hits all the major points but doesn’t give too much away. You don’t want to tell your readers everything about the book, because then they won’t have to read it at all. Just give enough information so your readers are interested in reading the book.
    Be objective. Some magazines like to publish book reviews that are completely impersonal. This means that they want a review of the book that doesn’t share your opinion and that in which your opinion isn’t obvious from reading what you wrote. If you hated a book, it might not be a great book to review. You probably want to review books that you enjoyed. Avoid talking about how much you liked the book, however. You should not include your personal reaction to the book until the very end, where you include a sentence or two about whether or not you would recommend a book and to whom you would recommend it.
    Look through a lens（镜头）. A great way to get your review noticed is to look at a book through a specific lens. Read the book as a feminist（男女平等主义者）would, for example, and talk about what a feminist might say to applaud or criticize the book. You can choose any number of lenses, and feminism is just one choice. An economic lens, a family lens, the lens of a different nationality, or the lens of a child could all be interesting ways to look at a book. If you look at a book in this way, instead of just reading it and forming your own opinion, it will be much more interesting and marketable. This is especially the case if you look at a lens that relates to the subject of the magazine to which you are submitting. Feminist magazines love book reviews about books read through a feminist lens, for example, because it is appropriate to their readership.
    Talk about the writer’s style. Another great way to write a book review is to talk about the writer’s style. Anyone can pick up a book and read the story, but it takes an experienced writer to note interesting things about another writer’s style and write about them intelligently. Furthermore, most people want to know if a book is easy or fun to read over whether or not the subject matter will interest them.
    小题1:For what purpose is the passage written?
    A．To offer tips on writing book reviews.
    B．To give advice on reading books.
    C．To introduce writing styles.
    D．To comment on a book.
    小题2:If a writer thinks a book is worth reading, he’d better state it _________________.
    A．in the titleB．in the first paragraphC．as much as possibleD．at the final part
    小题3:The fourth paragraph is developed mainly by __________________.
    A．analyzing causesB．giving examples
    C．drawing comparisonsD．telling personal experiences
    小题4:Compared with ordinary readers, a skilled writer does better in _____________.
    A．giving an objective description of a book
    B．looking at a book through a specific angle
    C．finding a book and understanding its story easily
    D．paying close attention to another writer’s style
