They buy vast numbers of newspapers and magazines and of books --- especially paperbacks, which are still comparatively cheap in spite of ever-increasing rises in the costs of printing. They still continue to buy "proper" books, too, printed on good paper and bound（装订）between hard covers.‎ ‎    There are many streets in London containing shops which specialize in book-selling. Perhaps the best known of these is Charring Cross Road in the very heart of London. Here bookshops of all sorts and sizes are to be found, from the celebrated one which boasts of being "the biggest bookshop in the world" to the tiny, dusty little places which seem to have been left over from Dickens' time. Some of these shops stock, or will obtain, any kind of book, but many of them specialize in second-hand books, in art books, in foreign books, in books on philosophy, politics or any other of ‎ the countless subjects about which books may be written. One shop in this area specializes only in books about ballet!‎ ‎    Although it may be the most convenient place for Londoners to buy books, Charring Cross Road is not the cheapest. For the really cheap second-hand books, the collector must venture off the beaten track, to Farringdon Road, for example, in the East Central district of London. Here there is nothing so impressive as bookshops. The booksellers come along each morning and pour out their sacks of books onto small hand carts. And the collectors, some professionals and some amateurs, have been waiting for them. In places like this they can still, occasionally, pick up for a few pence an old one that may be worth many pounds.‎ ‎（1）"Londoners are great readers" means that __________. ‎ A.Londoners are great because they read a lot B.There are a great number of readers in London C.Londoners are readers who read only great books D.Londoners read a lot ‎（2）According to this passage, Charring Cross Road __________. ‎ A.is in the suburbs of London B.is famous for its bookshops C.contains various kinds of shops D.is the busiest street in ‎London ‎（3）In this passage, what does the underlined part "venture off the beaten track" mean? ‎ A.buy books in a most busy street B.move away from a busy street C.waste time looking for books D.take a risk of losing one's life ‎（4）On Farringdon Road, _________. ‎ A.you can find fine bookshops for the latest books B.there are only small bookshops for the second-hand books C.you can see book sellers selling books on hand-carts D.the same books as the ones in the bookshops of Charring Cross Road are sold ‎28.阅读理解 Fixed or growth mindset — which do you have?‎ ‎    We live in an uncertain world with all the technological advances we are experiencing， which meanse is a requirement for a change in midset (思维模式）. In order to be on top of our game both personally and organizationally, we need to develop a growth mindset.‎ ‎    A fixed mindset supposes that you have native abilities and are naturally clever or skilled in certain areas of life. When you receive infonnation about how you have performed in a test or set ‎ of tasks t you may worry about how you are judged. Our parents probably said to us when we were young,"Since you scored really well in the test, you must  be clever." However, by being repeatedly told “You are clever” or “You are really good at your job”，a person's self—respect is actually dainagcd.‎ ‎    The  growth—mindset  person a view life as a series of exciting challenges and  want  to constantly  learn. Brain activity occurs in this mindset when they receive information about what they could do belter or improve. They do not view their abilities as fixed or us failure. Learning is king and the more they practice , the more they know they will succeed.‎ ‎    What is important is giving praise around process and not around ability. For example , instead of saying"Since you got a great score, you must be clever" f say " You got a great score, and you must have tried really hard". This creates challenge in individuals and the meaning of mindsets is massive for business. Fixed-mindset managers are not fans of giving feedback (反馈）. They do not want to stretch themselves or others because they fear failure. Therefore their business may stand still because there is no risk or innovation (创新） occurring.‎ ‎    Listen from your own fixed mindset — for example ," I can't  do that” — and answer with a growth-mindset response — “I can't do that yet!" Remember  there is no such thing as failure and there is s only learning. If you don't fail occasionally ，you will never learn to change and grow.‎ ‎（1）What is the author's opinion of people' s mindsets?‎ A.A growth mindstet means no failure. B.People need develop a fixed mindset. C.A fixed mindset focuses more on process. D.People should develop a growth mindest.‎ ‎（2）Which judgment seems more encouraging?‎ A.You are clever. B.You are skillful. C.You have worked hard. D.You arc great at your job.‎ ‎（3）What do the growth-mindset  persons most advocate?‎ A.Keeping on learning. B.Viewing ability as failure. C.Giving praise around ability. D.Learning from the fixed mindset.‎ ‎（4）What is the main idea of the last paragraph?‎ A.Always stay in ihe same mindset B.Think and act in different mindsets. C.We can 't miss the chance of failure. D.Learning is the key to success from failure.‎ 七、书面表达（共1题；共10分）‎ ‎29.为了让大家更多地了解野生动物，提高濒危动物保护意识，你校英语俱乐部于近期组织会员们参观了你市北郊的野生动物园。假如你是俱乐部成员兼校英语网站记者，请你写一篇英语短文报道此次活动。内容包括: ‎ ‎1）时间:‎12月16日；‎ ‎2）活动过程:①参观室内展厅；②和户外野生动物近距离接触；‎ ‎3）简要评论。‎ 注意:1）词数100左右；‎ ‎2）可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯；‎ ‎3）提示词:endangered animals濒危动物；suburb 郊区 ‎4）报道的标题已给出，但不计入总词数。‎ English Club Explored the ‎Wildlife‎ ‎Park 答案解析部分 一、单选题 ‎1.【答案】 A ‎ ‎2.【答案】 C ‎ ‎3.【答案】 D ‎ ‎4.【答案】 B ‎ ‎5.【答案】 C ‎ ‎6.【答案】 B ‎ ‎7.【答案】 A ‎ ‎8.【答案】 D ‎ ‎9.【答案】 A ‎ ‎10.【答案】 B ‎ ‎11.【答案】 B ‎ ‎12.【答案】 D ‎ ‎13.【答案】 C ‎ ‎14.【答案】 B ‎ ‎15.【答案】 B ‎ ‎16.【答案】 B ‎ ‎17.【答案】 B ‎ ‎18.【答案】 C ‎ ‎19.【答案】 C ‎ ‎20.【答案】 A ‎ 二、翻译 ‎21.【答案】 regardless ；of ‎ ‎22.【答案】 is very strict with ‎ 三、任务型阅读 ‎23.【答案】 E；F；G；A；D ‎ ‎24.【答案】F；B；G；D；A ‎ 四、语法填空 ‎25.【答案】 condition ‎ 五、完形填空 ‎26.【答案】 （1）C；（2）A；（3）D；（4）B；（5）C；（6）B；（7）D；（8）A；（9）C；（10）D；（11）B；（12）A；（13）B；（14）D；（15）B；（16）A；（17）A；（18）C；（19）C；（20）D； ‎ 六、阅读理解 ‎27.【答案】 （1）D （2）B （3）B （4）C ‎ ‎28.【答案】 （1）D （2）C （3）A （4）D ‎ 七、书面表达 ‎29.【答案】 English Club Explored the Wildlife Park ‎    On Dec.16th, our school English Club organized a visit to the Wildlife‎ ‎Park located in the northern suburb of our city, for all its members.‎ First we visited the indoor exhibition, where we saw many colorful pictures of different kinds of butterflies, dinosaur fossils and other wild animals.
