Now, the website BookCrossing.com turns the page on the traditional idea of a book group.‎ Members go on the site and register the books they own and would like to share. BookCrossing provides an ID number to stick inside the book. Then the person leaves it in a public place, hoping that the book will have an adventure, traveling far and wide with each new reader who finds it.‎ Bruce Pederson, the managing director of BookCrossing, says “The two things that change your life are the people you meet and books you read. BookCrossing combines both.”‎ Members leave books on park benches and buses, in train stations and coffee shops. Whoever finds their book will go to the site and record where they found it.‎ People who find a book can also leave a journal entry describing what they thought of it. E-mails are ‎ then sent to the BookCrossers to keep them updated about where their books have been found. Bruce Pederson says the idea is for people not to be selfish by keeping a book to gather dust on a shelf at home.‎ BookCrossing is part of a trend among people who want to get back the “real” and not the virtual(虚拟). The site now has more than one million members in more than one hundred thirty-five countries.‎ ‎25. Why does the author mention book groups in the first paragraph?‎ A. To introduce BookCrossing B. To explain what they are C. To stress the importance of reading D. To encourage readers to share their ideas ‎26. What will a BookCrosser do with a book after reading it?‎ A. Meet other readers to discuss it B. Keep it safe in his bookstore C. Pass it on to another reader D. Mail it back to its owner ‎27. What is the best title for the text?‎ A.

These teenagers have powers that set them apart. They can do things ordinary people can’t.‎ Paperback, published by Simon & Schuster, $12.99‎ Mighty Jack -----by Ben Hatke Jack dislikes summer. But he’s got a good reason: summer is when his single mom takes a second job and leaves him at home to watch his sister, Maddy. It’s lots of responsibility, and it’s boring, too, because Maddy doesn’t talk. But one day, at the market, Maddy does talk---to tell Jack to trade their mom’s car for a box of mysterious seeds. It’s the best mistake Jack has ever made.‎ Hardcover, published by First Second, $ 14.15‎ Only Daughter -----by Anna Snoekstra ‎ She’s caught stealing. She’s homeless and on the run.

Most “lost” luggage is found in a few days. Airlines search for the owners of unclaimed(未认领的) bags for up to three months. But when the owners cannot be found or the bags are not claimed, they are sold to a store in the small city of Scottsboro, in the southern state of Alabama.‎ About one-half of one percent of all luggage passing through US airports is unclaimed. Many of the missing bags, and what is in them, are sold at the Unclaimed Baggage Center. Seven thousand items arrive at the store every day. Tom Barnes, who was shopping at the store said, “I can go into any of the large shopping centers, like the international malls. I can walk through there for an hour and come out with three items. But I come into this store, and then I come out with my car full of stuff.”‎ Brenda Cantrell, who works at the store, said, “The Unclaimed Baggage Center is the only store in America that buys and resells unclaimed baggage from the airline industry. You would be surprised at all the jackets, eyeglasses, neck pillows, blankets, laptops, Kindles, iPads, and you know, all kinds of expensive electronics.”‎ The store says it once sold a container for flowers for $80 that was found to be worth $18,000. And it says a painting it sold for $25 was later found to be worth $25,000.‎ The store buys the luggage from the airlines. It does not examine the things inside them before buying them. Only about half of the items in the bags are suitable for sale at the store.‎ Some people say it is not fair to the owners of the lost passage to sell their goods. Customer Daniel Martin is not one of them, saying, “I feel the airport may try to find the people that lose the things. If they’ve tried and they can’t get a hold of them, it’s better than throwing them away or just letting them rot in a warehouse somewhere.”‎ ‎32. According to the text, what may happen to the US airline luggage?‎ A. The luggage is often delayed. ‎ B. A large percentage of luggage is lost.‎ C. Some luggage will be sold if nobody claims it. ‎ D. Unclaimed luggage will be kept by the airport for a year.‎ ‎33. Tom Barne’s words imply that ___________.‎ A. the store has little to offer ‎ B. he enjoys shopping at the store greatly.‎ C. he prefers to shop at international malls D. the store is no different from any other shopping center.‎ ‎34. What’s Daniel Martin’s attitude towards the practice of the airlines?‎ A. He thinks it’s unusual. B. He thinks it’s frightening.‎ C. He thinks it’s acceptable. D. He thinks it’s improper.‎ ‎35. What would be the best title for the text?‎ A. What happens to lost US airline luggage? B. A new shopping center in the US.‎ C. Is it fair to the airline passengers? D. Tips on finding “lost” luggage. ‎ 第二节 （共5 小题，每小题2 分，满分10 分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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。 Tips for Upcoming Senior Two People often describe Senior Two as a year with “much more homework, more frequent exams and more fierce competitions”. 36 ‎ ‎1.
