Consumer electronics once again topped the list of the most wanted gifts this holiday season.

“Seventy-six percent of consumers who plan to buy holiday gifts say that they will spend money or buy at least one technology product; definitely a solid vote of confidence for technology.”

Steve Koenig is with the Consumer Electronics Association. He says the group’s latest research also shows that Americans this year are spending more on technology products. “Here in 2012, $252 on average——the technology spend for consumers this year.

From tablet computers to smart phones, American shoppers have been lining up to get the newest and coolest electronic devices on the market. There are more choices today than ever before. "It's kind of hard to make a decision."

Tablet computers are one of the best-selling products this year. Brian Tong is Senior Editor of CNET.com. The website reports on tech news and examines the latest electronic products. He says the Apple iPad Mini is one of the most popular tablets. Its starting price is $329. One of Apple’s biggest competitors is the Google Nexus 7. It starts at $199.

Its hardware is more powerful than what’s in the iPad Mini, but also it offers you a lot of things like maps that work better than Apple’s maps.

But Brian Tong says there is one reason why people may like the iPad Mini more than the Nexus 7. “If you just want to read books and surf the Internet, you don’t really need to get an iPad Mini, but if you want the largest robust group of apps (应用软件) that’s where the iPad and Apple’s ecosystem shines the most.”

Elman Chacon is with the electronics store Best Buy. He says another hot product this season is smart cameras. They connect to the Internet through WiFi. This makes it easy for users to email or upload photographs directly from the camera.

“You can literally take a picture and upload it into your Facebook in a matter of seconds. These things are pretty cool because they do a lot of things.”

Streaming media boxes also connect to the Internet. People are able to watch web content such as movies and YouTube videos on their televisions. Another popular item is wireless speaker systems. The newest ones work with any device that has Bluetooth technology, including smart phones, laptops and tablets.

1.What does the underlined sentence mean in Paragraph 3?

A.Every technology product costs an average of $252.

B.Consumers are spending $252 more on technology products than last year.

C.Consumers should spend $252 on their technology products.

D.It is estimated that $252 on average might be spent on electronics by consumers in 2012.

2.According to Brian Tong, why may people prefer the iPad Mini to the Google Nexus 7?

A.Because it is cheaper.

B.Because it has more functions.

C.Because you can read books and surf the Internet with it.

D.Because it offers you a lot of things like maps that work better than Apple’s maps.

3.What does “Its hardware” in Paragraph 6 refer to?

A.The hardware of tablet computers.

B.The hardware of the Apple iPad.

C.The hardware of the Google Nexus 7.

D.The hardware of the iPad Mini.

C.A streaming media box is a box which can contain CDs.

D.Most people would like to buy electronics as gifts.

C.Latest Technology Products

D.More Electronics to Choose from

 

If you don’t want people to know too much about you, then you had better keep your fridge contents secret, according to a British market research document released last week.

Researchers peered (凝视) into the fridges of 400 people in Britain and compared the contents with the owners’ lifestyles. They claim to be able to classify the nation’s people by fridge contents.

They say those people can be separated into five categories:nutrition nerds (no social sense), food faddiest (whatever’s in style), martyr mums, fast food fanatics and restaurant regulars.

Nutrition nerds care much about what they put into their bodies. Their fridges are stocked with fruit, vegetables and healthy meat.

People in this category tend to be highly organized and usually work in law or accountancy. The vast majority is single, but if they have a partner, that person will be similar.

A fridge full of vitamins — enriched juices implies its owner works in media or fashion. They tend not to eat the foods they buy. Known as the food faddiest, they just want to be seen as purchasing the latest important things.

A fridge filled with everything from steak to frozen fish suggests the martyr mum. Her fridge tends to be stocked with every kind of product, except what she herself would want. This fridge hints at difficulty balancing family and work life.

Fast food fanatics always buy mineral water or soda pop. The nearest they will get to fresh fruit is tomato sauce. Their fridges hint at someone who works hard and plays hard, also, someone who is not into long term planning.

Finally, a fridge filled with nothing more than a bottle of white wine and some sparkling mineral water implies an owner who is single, lives in a big city and enjoys the finer things in life. The fridge is empty because this person regularly eats in restaurants.

1.What can we know from the first two paragraphs?

A.Some researchers are fond of staring at other people’s fridges.

B.People don’t want others to know about their secrets.

C.The food you put in the fridge has something to do with your personality.

D.There are mainly five kinds of lifestyles among British people.

2.According to the passage, people who belong to food faddiest_________.  

A.don’t care much about money when buying things

B.will try their best to stay healthy

C.often stay up late to finish their job

D.prefer to ask others about what to do next

3.Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A.“Nutrition nerds” are always organized and successful in their jobs.

B.“Food faddists” like to stock their fridges with all kinds of vitamins.

C.“Martyr mums” care themselves more than others.

D.“Fast food fanatics” usually do not stock their fridges with fresh fruit.

4.What will those who often dine out put in the fridge?

A.All kinds of food they like.

B.Only something to drink.

C.Fruit, vegetables and meat.

D.Food rich in vitamins.

5.What is this passage mainly about?

A.What people store in their fridges.

B.Fridge contents and its owner’s secret.

C.What we should store in our fridges.

D.How to keep our fridge contents secret.

 

While Andrew was getting ready for work one Friday morning, he announced to his wife that he had finally decided to ask his boss for a salary raise. All day Andrew felt nervous and anxious as he thought about the upcoming showdown. What if Mr Larchmont refused to grant his request? Andrew had worked so hard in the last 18 months and landed some great accounts for Braer and Hopkins Advertising Agency. Of course, he deserved a wage increase.

The thought of walking into Larchmont’s office left Andrew weak in the knees. Late in the afternoon he was finally courageous enough to approach his superior. To his delight and surprise, the ever-frugal(一向节俭的)Harvey Larchmont agreed to give Andrew a raise!

Andrew arrived home that evening—despite breaking all city and state speed limits—to a beautiful table set with their best china, and candles lit. His wife, Tina, had prepared a delicate meal including his favorite dishes. Immediately he figured someone from the office had tipped her off!

Next to his plate Andrew found a beautiful lettered note. It was from his wife. It read: “Congratulations, my love! I knew you’d get the raise! I prepared this dinner to show just how much I love you. I am so proud of your accomplishments!” He read it and stopped to reflect on how sensitive and caring Tina was.

After dinner, Andrew was on his way to the kitchen to get dessert when he observed that a second card had slipped out of Tina’s pocket onto the floor. He bent forward to pick it up. It read: “Don’t worry about not getting the raise! You do deserve one! You are a wonderful provider and I prepared this dinner to show you just how much I love you even though you did not get the increase.”

Suddenly tears swelled in Andrew’s eyes. Total acceptance! Tina’s support for him was not conditional upon his success at work.

The fear of rejection is often softened and we can undergo almost any setback or rejection when we know someone loves us regardless of our success or failure.

1.What was Andrew’s plan that Friday?

A.To request a wage increase from his boss.

B.To get a job with the Braer and Hopkins Advertising Agency.

C.To celebrate his success with his wife at home.

D.To ask his boss to come for dinner.

2.On his way back home, Andrew _________.

A.felt weak in the knees

B.was punished by the traffic policeman

C.was too anxious to share the news

D.couldn’t wait to enjoy a meal

3.Which of the following statements about the story is FALSE?

A.Andrew was afraid that his request would lead to disaster.

B.Andrew had worked very hard and done his part for the company.

C.Andrew’s boss agreed to his request.

D.One of Andrew’s colleagues had told his wife the good news.

4.Why did Tina prepare a grand dinner for Andrew that day?

A.She was confident of his getting a pay raise.

B.She meant to show her support whatever the result would be.

C.She believed that her husband was the best in his company.

D.She wanted to express her gratitude for his devotion to the family.

5.We can conclude from the text that ______.

A.we should never be afraid to ask for what is due to us

B.work hard and you will be rewarded

C.many fears turn out to be unfounded

D.unconditional love brings courage and strength

 

Like many men at some point, I dream about opening a bar. I plan to call it Work Out. It will cater to married women in need of a little fun. On Friday nights, they will be able to come here and enjoy themselves.

See, I have a gift for business. I am, as my wife Zsa Zsa likes to note, “A man with a million ideas, none of them very good.” Speaking of Zsa Zsa, she is fed up with this plain little life I’ve made for us——too many kids, too many chores, mind – numbing debt. The other day, she said she thought we needed a new family car. “Sure. How about an 87 Lincoln?” I said, and saw my dear Zsa Zsa age about 20 years, and become her mother right before my eyes.

Yes, money is our madness. Last year, we thought we had found a little cushion when I published a book about the life here in suburban America. It sold 12 copies——six of them to my mother. Four other copies went to various aunts and uncles, who used them for martini coasters (杯垫), then sold them at yard sales. The two remaining copies went to perfect strangers. (I think I owe you dinner, whoever you are. Call me, OK? We’ll arrange something.)

When the book didn’t take off, I wrote a TV show. Then I penned a short novel based on the earlier TV idea that didn’t sell. Currently, I am at work on a set of encyclopedias(百科全书). In a month, I plan to sell them door – to – door.

Such is the life of a writer, sending off the most personal thoughts possible to his hard drive. I am a writer, but also the breadwinner in my family. I’m at the keyboard at 6 almost every morning, hoping to tap out one idea——just one——that will take us up the hill, to the mountain, to the top.

1.According to the passage, the author is leading a/an         life.

A.enjoyable         B.wealthy           C.hard             D.comfortable

2.By saying “Sure. How about an 87 Lincoln?”, the author          .

A.promised it to his wife                    B.was showing off their fortune

C.thought his wife would like it               D.was just joking

3.What was the result of the book the author mentioned in the 3rd paragraph?

A.It didn’t sell well at all.

B.He sold it door – to – door.

C.He made a lot of money from it.

D.It was really a cushion for his family.

4.What does the underlined word “cushion” mean ?

A.Comfortable seat.

B.Financial help.

C.Unexpected success.

D.Best-selling book.

5.From the account above, which of the following statements is true?

A.He has a real gift for business.

B.He isn’t serious enough about life.

C.He is a hard – working writer.

D.His wife is satisfied with their plain life.

“At last, no more exams.” It’s a common feeling among high school graduates who have just completed the college entrance examination. What a relief! However, rather than fill the next three months with sleep, eating, and   1.   (watch) TV, some students have started working on finding a good choice of foreign college.

Different from those who begin their   2.   (apply) for foreign colleges in Senior 2, Li made a late decision on a US education. She began to think about it in Senior 3, but decided not   3.   ( give ) up the college entrance exam.    

Li’s classmate Mao Bingxin   4.   (consider) studying in Canada after the top exam. She began a TOEFL course on June 11.

He Wei,   5.   18-year-old girl who studies at Shenzhen Bao’an High School, isn’t allowing   6.  much freedom this summer vacation either, devoting her time to looking for a language school   7.   she can study French and some overseas study consulting agencies.

He Wei considers   8.   worthwhile spending the summer preparing for college rather than hanging out with friends. “   9.   we don’t really know what the future holds for us, we are sure that the better preparations we make   10.   it, the more choices we will be given.” she said.

 

It was a lazy morning during the Christmas week. We were enjoying breakfast when the doorbell rang. It was a little girl, standing at the doorway with a piece of paper and a face that carried an expression of want, rather a common     1   during Christmas.

She murmured that the paper was her booklist and that she was going around     2   money to buy her schoolbooks. My children went inside and brought some     3    for her. This kind of incident happens very often in my hometown,     4    during Christmas.

From where I was seated, I could see her clearly. She looked about ten years old and she wore a dress too big for her. She spoke in a     5    voice and looked at me straight in the eye. Something made me get up and     6    her.

In answer to my questions, she said that her mother made hoppers and she     7    them before going to school. But the hopper money was not adequate to     8    the list; therefore, she was going from house to house asking for help.

Her voice told me the story; her eyes told me that it was     9    . I said I'd buy her what was on the list.

We drove to a nearby bookstore. She sat    10   , with a strange look on her face. When the clerk was taking all the things on the list, the little girl kept staring as if confused. Perhaps she had never    11   so many new things before. They were merely exercise books, pencils, pens and such things. She whispered her    12   to us. Strange, I hadn't been aware that giving such   13        things to one in need, could bring me such a lot of happiness.

As we drove back, I could see the little girl in the mirror. All the gifts I had given in my life never   14   up a face so much. She was grasping the parcel, smiling to herself. The total event made us all very    15   . Our Christmas became more meaningful.

When I first learned to write in English, I run into many difficulty. The main problem was in that I always thought in Chinese and tried to translate everything into Chinese. My teacher advised me to keep diaries. I followed her advices. Happily it worked. Soon I began to enjoy talk to myself on paper as I was learning to express me in simple English. One day I wrote a short story showed it to my teacher. She liked it very much that she read it to the class. Everyone said the story was the good one. I was great encouraged by their words.

 

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

“Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished.” ---Lao Tzu

If you are in a city where everyone rushes, realize that you don’t have to be like everyone else. You can be different. You can walk instead of driving in rush hour traffic. You can be on your iPhone or Blackberry less, and disconnected sometimes. Your environment doesn’t control your life---you do. I’m not going to tell you how to give you a step-by-step guide to moving slower.    1   

1. Do less.

Cut back on your projects, on your task list, on how much you try to do each day. Focus not on quantity but on quality.    2    Save smaller, routine tasks for later in the day, but give yourself time to focus.

2. Have fewer meetings.

3    And they eat into your day, forcing you to squeeze the things you really need to do into small windows, and making you rush.

3.    4   

When you do the important things with focus, without rush, there will be things that get pushed back, and that don’t get done. And you need to ask yourself: how necessary are these things? What would happen if I stopped doing them?

4. Practice mindfulness.

Simply learn to live in the present, rather than things so much about future or the past. When you eat, fully appreciate your food. When you are with someone, be with them fully. When you are walking, appreciate your surroundings, no matter where you are.

Try these things out. Life is better when unrushed.

     5    

A.Start to put off or cancel the unnecessary.

B.Meetings are usually a “big waste of time”.

C.The world likely won’t end if you don’t pass one of the examinations.

D.But here are some things to consider and perhaps adopt, if they work for your life.

E. Remember the quote: if nature can get everything done without rushing, so can you.

F. Pick 2—3 important things---or even just one important thing---and work on those first.

G. Give yourself more time to get ready and get there.

 

There is a wide and deep choice of a career. Whether he’s a hand in construction or sitting behind the desk working on a computer, everyone has some ideas of what is an attractive career. However, making a career choice is not simply a matter of following a dream; for most people it means a lot of research and soul searching. Choosing the right career becomes one of the most important decisions of an individual’s life.

It used to be that one followed in the footsteps of their father or grandfather or took over the family’s business when it came to making a career choice. These days, a career path can start anywhere and then veer off into something totally different.

Career choices must be realistic and well thought out. It is not uncommon for persons to start a career path and realize they have made a terrible mistake, feeling as if it may be too late to turn around. Not only does a career choice concern your strongest skills and interest, it is also something that you will be doing continuously to bring in income. This is why a career choice can be such a personal decision. Formerly it used to be unusual for someone to change occupations or careers more than once or twice in a lifetime; it is now even more unusual to keep the same career during someone’s working life.

There are a great many measures in helping one choose the right profession. A number of websites offering tools such as career tests and information, educational resources, resume services and the kind can be found. It is important for one to research one’s career in this changing economy situation, and choose the best from several related career choices.

1.According to the author choosing the right career _________.

A.is not difficult at all                      B.needs a lot of dreams

C.is an interesting thing                    D.needs a lot of thoughts

2.The underlined phrase “veer off” in the second paragraph probably means _________.

A.set out to do the same job                 B.change the former course

C.compare two different things              D.dream of getting an easy job

3.Nowadays it is common for one to _________.

A.change his job often                     B.do the same job all his life

C.find a few good jobs at a time              D.live without a job for many years

4.All of the following are the tools on profession offered by websites EXCEPT _________.

A.tests and information                    B.training courses

C.employer’s phone numbers              D.instructions on resume

 

As the new term starts, freshmen around the world are asking the same question: how can I make the best of four years at college? The New York Times received suggestions recently from PhD students and seniors at some of the top universities . Here is their advice.

“Many young people today are raised in a protective cocoon(茧)”, wrote Tim Novikoff, a PhD student at Comell. “College is a time to explore the world beyond and a chance to learn new things about yourself. Take classes in different subjects. Try lots of different clubs and activities.”

Remember also to take some time away from campus, suggested Willie Lin, a student at Washington University. “If you spend all of your time in school, then it becomes too easy to let criticism from an unkind professor or a conflict with a roommate take up large proportions.

Try to find work assisting a researcher or a professor---this is the advice from Aman Singh Gill, a PhD student at Stony Brook University. And he also said, “With a window into the world of research, you will find yourself thinking more critically, accepting fewer states at face value and perhaps developing a brave sense of what you can accomplish.”

Many young people can’t imagine even a single day without devices such as computers and cell phones. But try to keep yourself off them, cautioned Christine Smallwood, a PhD student at Columbia University.

Start by scheduling a few Internet-free hours each day, with your phone turned off. It’s the only way you’ll be able to read anything serious. “This will also have the benefit of making you harder to reach, and thus more mysterious and fascinating to new friends and acquaintances(熟人),” she suggested.

1.The underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 means we should _________.

A.spend more time at school                B.take some time out of school

C.listen to criticism more                   D.not argue with roommates

2.Who thinks it is important to consider something critically?

A.Aman Singh Gill                         B.Christine Smallwood

C.Tim Novikoff                           D.Willlie Lin

3.As for modern information devices, the last two paragraphs mean to tell us ________.

A.to keep ourselves off them forever not to use them

B.to turn them off

C.to make a schedule to use them

D.not to use them

4.This passage is mainly about _________.

A.tips from some students for college life

B.ways to read something serious regularly

C.days without cell-phones and computers

D.chances to go to university you really like

 

Dear Aunty,

I work at a supermarket, and another girl and I share tasks we must finish before leaving. But she takes half an hour to do something I can do in ten minutes. She always has a story to tell me and stops working when she does. My boss is angry at both of us, but It’s not my fault. I don’t want to rat on her, but what else can I do?

Flustered

Dear Flustered,

Let me propose a better way. Make a log of all the tasks you share, then suggest to your boss that for efficiency your duties could be divided into two separate checklists. If he’s reluctant, go to plan B: the next time this girl starts telling you a story, stop working to listen and call your boss over to hear what a great storyteller she is. I’m sure he’ll take it from here.

Aunty

Dear Aunty,

I’m a college student in the Philippines who wants to be wise with money. I’m not an economics or business major student and I don’t know anything about stocks. But I really want to buy assets and invest. I receive about 15,000 pesos(比索)every school term from my education plan. I don’t have any idea how I should spend it. I don’t want to just buy new clothes, or hang out with my friends because it would not be wise. I want my money to grow. Please enlighten me.

Fastbreakplay

Dear Fastbreakplay,

Being wise with money is the No. 1 thing to learn. Start with a disciplined and systematic savings plan. When your savings reach a sizeable amount, then you may start investing. In the meantime, invest in yourself by reading up on stock markets and capital markets. Follow the news. Before I started investing during my senior high school years, I had already studied stock market data of the past century as I believe markets tend to repeat themselves. If you master this skill, you will master your reading of the markets.

Aunty

1.When Flustered’s boss isn’t willing to separate their work, Flustered can _____.

C.stop working or do other things             D.report to the boss on time

2.Fastbreakplay writes a letter to Aunty in order to _____.

A.buy some pesos                        B.become an expert on stocks

3.In Aunty’s opinion, one should _____ at the beginning to be wise with money.

A.start investing                          B.have a saving plan

C.study stock markets                      D.master market reading

4.From letters above, we know Aunty should be ________.

A.an elder kind woman                    B.a lady in the community

C.a famous singer                         D.a name of a columnist

 

Talking behind someone’s back is considered to be rude and mean. Such a conversation can cover all kinds of criticism, from their looks to their work and personality.

The other day at lunch I was with a group of colleagues, and we were talking about our boss. She is the new headmaster of our middle school.

We talked about how kind she is to us. She handwrites notes to wish us happy holidays or to thank us for jobs well done. She checks on us when she knows we’re facing difficulties outside school with our health or with our families. We talked about the good role model that she is for the young women in our school and the fair but firm way she treats students and parents.

I thought about this after lunch. Sometimes we have the good fortune to be part of another kind of “talking behind someone’s back”. And too often when we say something good about someone behind their backs, they never know about it! That night, I sent her an email to report the conversation.
