When my friend Maxie says “have a nice day” with a smile, I know she sincerely cares about what happens to me. I feel loved and secure since another person cares about me and wishes me well.‎ ‎“Have a nice day. Next!” This version of the expression is spoken by a salesgirl at the supermarket who is rushing me and my groceries out the door. The words come out in the same tone (腔调) with a fixed procedure. They are spoken at me, not to me. Obviously, the concern for my day ‎ and everyone else’s is the management’s attempt to increase business.‎ The expression is one of those behaviors that help people get along with each other. Sometimes it means the end of a meeting. As soon as you hear it, you know the meeting is at an end. Sometimes the expressions save us when we don’t know what to say. “Oh, you just had a tooth out? I am terribly sorry, but have a nice day.”‎ The expression can be pleasant. If a stranger says “have a nice day” to you, you may find it heart-warming because someone you don’t know has tried to be nice to you.‎ Although the use of the expression is an insincere, meaningless social custom at times, there is nothing wrong with the sentence except that it is a little uninteresting. The salesgirl, the waitress, the teacher, and all the countless others who speak it without thinking may not really care about my day. But in a strange and comfortable way, it’s nice to know they care enough to pretend they care when they really don’t care all that much. While the expression may not often be sincere, it is always spoken. The point is that people say it all the time when they like.‎ ‎26. How does the author understand Maxie’s words?‎ A. Maxie shows her anxiety to the author.‎ B. Maxie really wishes the author a good day.‎ C. Maxie encourages the author to stay happy.‎ D. Maxie really worries about the author’s security.‎ ‎27. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean?‎ A. The salesgirl is rude.‎ B. The salesgirl is bored.‎ C. The salesgirl cares about me.‎ D. The salesgirl says the words as a routine.‎ ‎28. By saying “Have a nice day”, a stranger may _______.‎ A. try to be polite to you B. express respect to you C. give his blessing to you D. share his pleasure with you B Probably over half of Americans are overweight in different degrees, a fact that most newcomers ‎ quickly notice. This is because of a diet that is high in fat, sugar, and salt. In the South, much food is fired or flavored with fat. ‎ You will see many television commercials about dieting and exercising, indicating the serious concern people have about their weight problems. Many Americans lose weight by restricted diets and much exercise as obesity is considered harmful to good health, appearance, and longevity.‎ Many Americans can afford to eat well and have jobs that do not offer much opportunity for exercise. The possessions of cars also limits the amount of exercise most people get. It is therefore easy for Americans to put on weight, and many newcomers have found that the good food and lack of exercise can add pounds on them, too.‎ Generally, Americans hate being overweight, and some people—especially women and teenage girls -- suffer from eating disorders. These disorders can become health-threatening or even life-threatening and often require psychiatric treatment. Even those who do not suffer from eating disorders often eat carefully to control their weight.‎ ‎29. According to the last paragraph, the writer thinks eating disorders ___________.‎ A. have no effect on American’s health B. can’t be treated C. affect American’s health greatly D. can be changed easily ‎ ‎30. According to the passage, newcomers usually ________ because of the diet and lifestyle of America.‎ ‎ A. get used to it B. put on weight C. get unhappy D. afford to eat well ‎31. The best title of the passage is _________.‎ ‎ A. Americans Eating Disorders B. Americans Health Problem ‎ C. Harmful Diet in America D. Overweight Problem in America ‎32. The underlined word “obesity” in the second paragraph is close to the meaning of __________.‎ ‎ A. diet B. newcomers C. overweight D. fat ‎ ‎ C Group buying is one of the fastest growing trends in South Africa today. Industry leaders are confident the growth potential remains strong since group buying is location-specific(区域性的). Start-up costs are low and profit room remains high, so many sites continue to receive invested money despite widespread criticism and Facebook’s decision to phase out of the deals business due ‎ to privacy concerns. ‎ In the early stages of all industries, some companies fail because they cannot compete with stronger companies in difficult economic conditions. To deal with difficult conditions, an alarming number of businesses are developing group buying websites in places like China and India, so the increase of group buying in South Africa is nothing more than a natural progression into the international mainstream. ‎ The group buying concept is fairly new and consumers have accepted this concept because they can now make full use of the rich information available on the Internet. Group buying is convenient and easy so it works. Anyone can view a site, join a mailing list, subscribe to RSS or print out a coupon(优惠券). The current group buying structure offered by the industry leaders works although there are still challenges to overcome. ‎ Perhaps, the future of group buying is tied to the joining together of social media and mobile devices. Mobile devices are with us wherever we go and almost everyone is using some type of social media site like Facebook or Twitter to stay informed. Using GPS and social media technology to provide real time location-specific promotions would be beneficial to every consumer looking for the best deals in town. ‎ Pause for a moment and think about it! What is better than signing on to your phone while having fun in town and you receive a real time information that your favorite shop across the street is offering a killer deal？‎ The future of the group buying in South Africa is bright and we can expect to see more advanced approaches to this concept in the future. In addition to the technological advances consumers will see the range of promotions expand to include new products and services. ‎ ‎31. What does the underlined phrase “phase out of” mean in the passage?‎ A. Gradually stop. B. Gradually increase.‎ C. Begin to develop. D. Continue to enlarge.‎ ‎32. The author sets China and India as examples to show that _________.‎ A. China and India are powerful countries B. China and India are in difficult economic conditions C. group buying is successful worldwide D. group buying is an international trend ‎33. Which of the following is true according to the passage?‎ A. People have accepted group buying because it’s a new concept.‎ B. Social media and mobile devices have been joined together for group buying.‎ C. GPS and social media technology will be helpful in group buying.‎ D. Shops usually offer a killer deal when their customers are having fun.‎ ‎34. The author’s attitude towards the future of group buying is __________.‎ A. pessimistic B. optimistic C. objective D. subjective ‎ D.‎ ‎ I was blind, but I was ashamed of it if it was known. I refused to use a white stick and hated asking for help. After all, I was a teenage girl, and I couldn’t bear people to look at me and think I was not like them. I must have been a terrible danger on the roads. Coming across me wandering through the traffic, motorists probably would have to step rapidly on their brakes. Apart from that, there were all sorts of disasters that used to take place on the way to and from work.‎ One evening, I got off the bus about halfway home where I had to change buses, and as usual I ran into something. “I’m awfully sorry.” I said and stepped forward only to run into it again. When it happened a third time, I realized I had been apologizing to a lamppost（电灯柱）. This was just one of the stupid things that constantly happened to me. So I carried on and found the bus stop, which was a request stop, where the bus wouldn’t stop unless passengers wanted to get on or off. No one else was there and I had to try to guess if the bus had arrived.‎ Generally in this situation, because I hated showing I was blind by asking for help, I tried to guess at the sound. Sometimes I would stop a big lorry and stand there feeling stupid as it drove away. In the end, I usually managed to swallow my pride and ask someone at the stop for help.‎ But on this particular evening no one joined me at the stop; it seemed that everyone had suddenly decided not to travel by bus. Of course I heard plenty of buses pass, or I thought I did. But because I had given up stopping them for fear of making a fool of myself, I let them all go by. I stood there alone for half an hour without stopping one. Then I gave up. I decided to walk on to the next stop.‎ ‎37. After the girl got off the bus that evening, she_________.‎ A. began to run B. hit a person as usual C. hit a lamppost by accident D. was caught by something ‎39. What was the problem with guessing at the sound to stop a bus?‎ A. Other vehicles also stopped there.‎ B. It was unreliable for making judgments.‎ C. More lorries than buses responded to the girl.‎ D. It took too much time for the girl to catch the bus.‎ ‎40. Finally the girl decided to walk to the next stop, hoping__________.‎ A. to find people there B. to find more buses there C. to find the bus by herself there D. to find people more helpful there 四．七选五 （共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）‎ ‎ 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。‎ The jobs of the future have not been invented，__41__By helping them develop classic skills that will serve them well no matter what the future holds.‎ ‎1．Curiosity Your children need to be deeply curious.__42__Ask kids，“What ingredients (配料) can we add to make these pancakes even better next time”and then try them out.

The fact that a child picks up a language 49 is surprising: at one year old, a child is able to 50 "bye-bye"; at two, he is able to use fifty words; by three he begins to 51 tenses. The famous American linguist Noam Chomsky 52 that human beings have a sort of built-in system for language use, and that the 53 is only secondary. Children are not taught language 54 they are taught arithmetic（算数）. Other linguists, 55 , hold the view that a child learns 56 of his language from the hints in the environment. 57 , theorists of both schools 58 that there is a biological basis for language and language use. The 59 is which is more important, the inner ability or the environment. This is certainly a field 60 to be explored. Researchers from both schools are busy finding evidence to 61 their own theory, but 62 ‎ side is persuading the other. It seems that in order to 63 why a child learns a language so easily, we have to 64 the joint efforts of both schools. Some linguists, like De Villiers, have recognized the value of cooperation, and 65 linguists of both sides to work together.‎ ‎46. A. Surprisingly B. Personally C. Properly D. Roughly ‎47.

I am writing to tell you about some symptoms of anxiety among us students before ‎ exams. 　　　　Most of us feel nervous whenever we’re taking an important exam. Some will feel dizzy or tired, some will suffer from lack of sleep, and some will lose their appetite. In fact, all these symptoms have terrible effects on our exams and we are all eager to get rid of them. 　　　　First of all, in my opinion, it’s important for us to have a fight attitude towards exams. They are only a means of checking how we are getting along with our studies, so there is no need to worry too much about the results. Study hard every day and make careful plans for every exam. In this way we can avoid suffering from the pressure of exams. 　　　　Besides, enough sleep can make us energetic and enable us to perform well in an exam. Therefore, during the period of exams, we should not stay up too late. We can also try a warm bath or a cup of warm milk before going to bed. They might help us to have a sound sleep. 　　　　(We’d better go out for a walk or do some outdoor exercises before and during an exam so that we can keep ourselves relaxed and then concentrate ourselves on exams.)‎
