    【题目】According to Global Blue, a tax-free shopping consultancy, Chinese shoppers were said to be the biggest overseas spenders in the year 2013, each customer _________ an average of 1,367 per transaction.

    A. spent B. to spend

    C. spending D. has spent

    【答案】C

    【解析】考查现在分词的独立主格结构。句意：根据免税购物咨询公司全球蓝联的统计，中国消费者据说是2013年度最大的海外买家——平均每人每次交易额达到了1,367镑。根据与前面句子之间用逗号连接，且有主语each customer，故判断此处用的是独立主格结构，根据动词spend与主语each customer是主动关系，故此处用现在分词。故选C。

    【题目】根据短文理解，选择正确答案。
    Mail lay scattered across the kitchen table. I couldn't put off sorting through it any longer. I checked the envelopes, putting aside the ones addressed to my husband.
    It had been over three years since Bob had died. To friends and family it looked like I had moved past the worst of my sorrow. I took care of my house, socialized and kept up with community. On the outside everything appeared to be normal. But inside I was anything but I worried I would never get better, never be myself again. They say sorrow has no set time limit, but I was so tired of feeling empty and hopeless. My sorrow was sharp and fresh as ever. It was like a wall of pressure in my chest, pressing my heart.
    I picked up a piece of Bob's mail and held it out to tear in half, but stopped myself from cutting up the envelope. The letter was from an organization that funded a Haitian orphanage called My Father's House. Its founder, Carol Hawthorne, had given a presentation at our church. Bob and I had donated, and Bob ended up on the mailing list to receive the newsletter (通讯) with updates on the children.
    I hadn't read one since Bob died. But just three months before, in January 2012, the country had been hit by a terrible earthquake. In my depressed state, it hadn't even occurred to me to wonder whether the orphanage had survived. I opened the newsletter and was surprised to find out that My Father's House was still standing. Of course now it was more crowded than ever. At the bottom of the page was an announcement about an upcoming trip to visit the orphanage in person. “I should go.” The thought wouldn't leave me. I contacted Carol Hawthorne.“What would I do if I go?” I asked.“Build houses?”
    “The Haitian people there are eager to work and they know what they're doing,” said Carol. “What they need are raw materials, and we provide them. We also visit with the children. We go to clinics and schools, pass out supplies. You'll be very busy, I promise!” I reserved a seat but didn't mention it to any of my friends. Just a few weeks later, I was at the airport with seven strangers, waiting to board a plane to Haiti. Even after takeoff I wasn't really sure of what I was doing.
    In Haiti we were met by Pastor Ronald Lefranc, the director of My Father's House. We piled into an old school bus and drove over uneven roads full of stones and mud. We passed women shaking under the weight of huge water buckets balanced on their heads. Piles of rubbish scattered across the landscape, and the land was covered with broken tents. Finally we pulled up to the orphanage. A crowd of children—52 in all—rushed up to greet us. I couldn't understand the words of the song they sang in Creole, but with the smiles on their faces I didn't need to. Each child planted a big kiss on my cheek.
    Carol and Pastor Ronald led us into the main building. “What are those over there?” I asked, pointing to a collection of thin tents. “Is there not enough room in the building for all the children?”
    “We have the room,” said Pastor Ronald. “But many of these children came here after the earthquake. They still don't feel safe sleeping under a roof.”
    There was no sign of fear in the playroom inside. I played dolls and other games. Children I'd just met presented me with pictures they'd drawn and letters written in Creole. In the evening the children gathered in the dining room. They took turns reading aloud and then they all joined in song. The words were strange, but the tune sounded familiar.
    They'd lost so much, yet were so joyful. In the evening the children gathered in the dining room. One of the older children stood up to speak and then they all joined in song. The words were strange, but the tune sounded familiar. The children settled down. In the silence, a quiet noise began.
    （1）During the three years after her husband's death, the writer ________.
    A.kept in close touch with friends and neighbors
    B.just stayed at her home to take care of her house
    C.forgot her unhappiness completely with busy work
    D.lived in emptiness and hopelessness due to hardships
    （2）What does the underlined part “My Father's House” refer to?
    A.An association that fund the research into earthquake in Haiti.
    B.An institution where children without parents greet foreigners.
    C.An organization that collect money for children without parents.
    D.A place where children without parents live and are looked after.
    （3）The writer enjoyed herself at ________.
    A.driving over the roads
    B.viewing the landscape
    C.seeing the expressions on children's faces
    D.observing water buckets on women's heads
    （4）Why did the children love to live in the thin tents?
    A.Because they had to make preparations for the newcomers.
    B.Because the tents are convenient for drawing in the open.
    C.Because the rooms in the building are used to house guests.
    D.Because they worried there might be another earthquake.
    （5）What can we conclude from the passage?
    A.The writer decided to settle down in Haiti at last.
    B.The writer overcame her loss by helping others.
    C.The writer taught the children to sing in English.
    D.The writer picked up Creole during her stay there.

    【题目】The weather is getting hotter and you’ll be getting thirstier playing basketball or riding home from school. A cold drink may be just the thing. But be careful what you pour down your throat. Something that looks cool may not be good for your health.

    There are plenty of so-called energy drinks on the market. Most of them have an attractive colour and cool name. Their nutrition list also contains various things from vitamins to ginseng. Sounds great!

    But after a careful check you may find that most energy drinks contain high levels of caffeine. These drinks are typically aimed at young people, students, busy people and sports players.

    Makers sometimes say their drinks make you better at sports and can keep you awake. But be careful not to drink too much.

    Caffeine raises your heartbeat. Because of this, the International Olympic Committee has limited their use. The amount of caffeine in most energy drinks is at least as high as in a strong cup of coffee or strong tea.

    Research by Australian scientists has found that many teenagers are affected by caffeine. The results of their survey show that 27 percent of boys aged 8-12 take in more caffeine than their parents.

    There are potential health risks linked to energy drinks. Just one can of energy drink can make you nervous, have difficulty sleeping and can even cause heart attacks.

    Teenagers should be discouraged from consuming drinks with a lot of caffeine in them, an expert from the Australia Nutrition Foundation said.

    【1】Generally, people would like to ________.

    A. take vitamins B. eat ginseng C. have a cold drink D. have a meal

    【2】The International Olympic Committee limit the use of caffeine because ________.

    A. it makes you better at sports B. it can keep you awake

    C. it can make you nervous D. it make your heart beat fast

    【3】The writer mentions the fact that “27 percent of boys aged 8-12 take in more caffeine than their parents” to show that ________.

    A. caffeine has an effect on many teenagers

    B. parents should take in more caffeine

    C. the caffeine problem is not serious

    D. the grownups take less caffeine than children

    【题目】根据短文理解，选择正确答案。
    The new mayor of Hillsdale, Michigan, is a man of the people, ready to listen to their problems, but only until 6 p.m. Then he has to do his homework. Michael Sessions, 18, beat former mayor Douglas Ingles, 51, by just two votes and became the new mayor of Hillsdale. He is America's youngest mayor.
    As Sessions was too young to enter the election in the spring of 2005, he registered to vote on Sept, 22, one day after his 18-year-old birthday. The day after that he started his write-in campaign, which means he should persuade voters to remember his name and write it by hand on the voting ballots（选票）.
    To help get his name known, Sessions earned＄700 by selling apples over the summer. He spent the money on posters and put them on the Hillsdale's lawns.
    Sessions' month-long campaign included going door to door, explaining his ideas of the town's future in the kitchens of his neighbors. "They'd look at me, and say‘How old are you again? How much experience do you have?' And I say ‘I'm still in high school', " he said. Sessions promised Hillsdale's voters he would renew local economy. “I was hopeful the whole time, ” he explained. One day he spent so long out on the streets knocking on the doors that he ended up in a hospital emergency room.
    Sessions said that his schoolwork will not get in the way of his job as a mayor. “From 7:50 a.m. to 2:30p.m., I'11 be a student. From 3 to 6, I'11 be the mayor of Hillsdale," he said.
    “He did a very brave thing that couldn't have been easy for him to do, "said Jack Vettel, a councilman in Hillsdale, a city of 8,200 about 75 miles southwest of Detroit. "He does care about this town. He's been here all his life.”
    Sessions will receive＄3, 600 a year during this four-year term, and will work out of his bedroom since the town does not provide the mayor with an office.
    （1）What is TRUE of Sessions' election campaign according to the text?
    A.Sessions launched his election campaign on Sept, 22.
    B.Sessions worked so hard that he once tried to persuade people in a hospital.
    C.Sessions won the election campaign by a very close outcome (结果).
    D.Sessions felt disappointed when asked about his age and experience.
    （2）In order to gain more support from the voters Sessions had to do all these things EXCEPT________.
    A.put up posters
    B.renew the economy
    C.sell apples
    D.talk to neighbors in kitchens
    （3）What can we infer from the passage?
    A.American mayors usually work from 3 p. m. to 6 p. m.
    B.In America, young people are encouraged to get involved in politics.
    C.All teenagers are allowed to enter political elections.
    D.American mayors receive a salary of 3, 600 a year during their 4-year term.
    （4）Which of the following would best summarize the text?
    A.Schoolboy becomes American's youngest mayor.
    B.How to become a teenage mayor.
    C.Hard work is the ticket to success.
    D.Never too young to shake the world.
