Although my thoughts were only on speed, the checkout line I was standing in wasn't moving as quickly as I wanted, and I glanced toward the cashier. There stood a man in his seventies, wearing glasses and a nice smile. I thought, well, he's an old guy! For the next few minutes I watched him. He greeted every customer before scanning the items. Sure, his words were the usual, “How's it going？” But he did something different—he actually listened to people. Then he would respond to what they had said and engage them in brief conversation. I thought it was odd. I has grown accustomed to people asking me how I was doing simply out of robotic conversational habit. After a while, you don't give any thought to the question and just mumble something back. I could say, “I just found out I have six months to live，” and someone would reply, “Have a great day！” But that wasn't the end. He gave them the change, walked around the counter, and extended his right hand in an act of friendship. He looked the customers in the eyes. “I sure want to thank you for shopping here today，” he told them. “You have a great day. Byebye.” The looks on the faces of the customers were priceless. There were smiles and some sheepish grins. All had been touched by his simple gesture—and in a place they never expected. They would gather their things and walk out, smiling. Of course, he did the same to me and I got to know his name—Marty. Who was that guy? It was as if Sam Walton had come back from the dead and invaded this old guy's body. I had never walked away from that shop feeling like that. 31．The checkout line the writer was standing in moved slower than expected because ________． A．the cashier couldn't work as fast as others B．there were some big purchases C．the cashier did more than scanning the items D．the writer was not patient enough 32．According to the writer, when common people ask you “How's it going？” ________． A．they don't really care what you may answer B．they are just practicing their conversation ability C．they are inquiring about your private information D．they don't expect to hear any negative answers 33．What can we infer about Sam Walton? A．He might be Marty's father or grandfather. B．He might be friendly and devoted to WalMart. C．He might have died while working in the market. D．He might have come back from the dead once before. 34．What does the writer intend to express through the text? A．Our everyday life is always full of surprises. B．Most customers enjoy being treated this way. 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 - 4 - C．Being different is a good way of doing business. D．A little positive action can make a big difference. B Although the United States covers so much land and the land produces far more food than the present population needs, its people are by now almost entirely an urban society. Less than a tenth of the people are engaged in agriculture and forestry(林 业), and most of the rest live in or around towns, small and large. Here the traditional picture is changing：every small town may still be very like other small towns, and the typical small town may represent a widely accepted view of the country, but most Americans do not live in small towns any more. Half the population now lives in some thirty metropolitan areas(large cities with their suburbs, of more than a million people each—a larger proportion than in Germany or England, let alone France). The statistics(统计数据)of urban and rural population should be treated with caution because so many people who live in areas classified as rural travel by car to work in a nearby town each day. As the rush to live out of town continues, rural areas within reach of towns are gradually filled with houses, so that it is hard to say at what moment a piece of country becomes a suburb. But more and more typical Americans live in a metropolitan rather than a small town environment. 35．If now America has 250 million people, how many of them are engaged in agriculture and forestry? A．About 25 million. B．More than 25 million. C．Less than 25 million. D．Less than 225 million. 36．Which of the following four countries has the smallest proportion of people living in metropolitan areas? A．United States. B．Germany. C．France. D．England. 37．What's the meaning of the underlined word “metropolitan”？ A．Of a large city with its suburbs. B．Of small and large towns. C．Of urban areas. D．Of rural areas. 38．According to the passage, what can we learn about small towns in the United States? A．Most small towns become gradually crowded. B．Small towns are still similar to each other. C．As the traditional picture is changing, towns are different. D．Small towns are turning into large cities. C The African elephant, the largest land animal remaining on earth, is of great importance to African ecosystem ( 生态系统). Unlike other animals, the African elephant is to a great extent the builder of its environment. As a big planteater, it largely shapes the forestandsavanna (稀树草原) surroundings in which it lives, therefore setting_the_terms of existence for millions of other animals that live in its habitat. It is the elephant's great desire for food that makes it a disturber of the 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 - 5 - environment and an important builder of its habitat. In its continuous search for the 300 pounds of plants it must have every day, it kills small trees and underbushes, and pulls branches off big trees. This results in numerous open spaces in both deep tropical forests and in the woodlands that cover part of the African savannas. In these open spaces are numerous plants in various stages of growth that attract a variety of other planteaters. Take the rain forests for example. In their natural state, the spreading branches overhead shut out sunlight and prevent the growth of plants on the forest floor. By pulling down trees and eating plants, elephants make open spaces, allowing new plants to grow on the forest floor. In such situations, the forests become suitable for large hoofed planteaters to move around and for small planteaters to get their food as well. What worries scientists now is that the African elephant has become an endangered species. If the elephant disappears, scientists say, many other animals will also disappear from vast areas of forest and savanna, greatly changing and worsening the whole ecosystem. 39．What is the passage mainly about? A．Disappearance of African elephants. B．Forests and savannas as habitats for African elephants. C．The effect of African elephants' search for food. D．The eating habit of African elephants. 40．What does the underlined phrase “setting the terms” most probably mean? A．Fixing the time. B．Worsening the state. C．Improving the quality. D．Deciding the conditions. 41．What do we know about the open spaces in the passage? A．They result from the destruction of rain forests. B．They provide food mainly for African elephants. C．They are home to many endangered animals. D．They are attractive to planteating animals of different kinds. 42．The passage is developed mainly by ________． A．showing the effect and then explaining the causes B．pointing out similarities and differences C．describing the changes in space order D．giving examples D Find a quiet location. Keep a routine. Focus on one subject at a time. It all seems like sound advice for students who need to hit the books, but recent studies indicate the conventional wisdom is all wrong. Here's a list of tips from Carey, a scientist, for getting the most out of your study time： Test yourself：Doing practice quizzes can help you retrieve information on test day. “Tests have a very bad reputation as a measurement tool，” Carey says. But psychologists have found selftests slow down the forgetting of material you've studied. “If you study something once, and then you test yourself on it，” Carey 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 - 6 - says, “you do better than if you study it two times over.” Move around：Changing up where you study can help you retain more information. “If you move around and study the same material in several places，” he says, “you may be forming…multiple associations for the same material, the same words and so on. So it's better anchored in your brain, and you can pull it out easier.” Mix it up：Think about a football player who does strength training, speed training and drills. Carey says alternating between different facets of a subject in a single sitting can “leave a deeper impression on the brain”. For example, when studying French, do some verbs, some speaking and some reading. Spending your time in deep concentration on just verbs, say, isn't as effective. Space it out：Information learned in a hurry is lost just as fast. Carey likens cramming your brain to speedpacking a cheap suitcase—it all falls out. So if you really want to learn, space out shorter, hourlong study sessions. “There's no doubt you can cram your way through an exam，” Carey says. The problem is that it's so easy to forget what you just crammed—and once it's gone, Carey says, “it's gone. You're not getting it back.” Of course, nothing can replace the power of motivation and discipline. But Carey says the overall message is encouraging：“Studying can sort of be incorporated into a more varied life, much more easily than we thought.” 43．According to the text, the best way to learn is ________． A．to learn one's subject at a time in a quiet place B．to be strongly motivated to learn something C．to mix up everything that you will learn D．to do selftests after you learn immediately 44．How did the writer develop the fifth paragraph? A．By telling an interesting story. B．By presenting in the time order. C．By analyzing cause and effect. D．By making a comparison. 45．Why did the author write the passage? A．To present some new advice on learning. B．To introduce some traditional wisdom. C．To explain some phenomena of studying. D．To list some views on reading books. 46．It can be inferred from what Carey said in the third paragraph that ________． A．tests used to be treated as a tool to judge learners B．tests would give you a way to measure yourself C．tests were the best way to learn new information D．tests do good to you more than learning itself E It was a bitterly cold day and six inches of snow had fallen the night before. I was five years old and being bundled up by my mom in front of the stove. In those days, a heavy snow was no reason to cancel school. After my mom finished, I walked outside to wait for the school bus. The snow was heavy on the old and swinging bridge that led from our house, across the river and to the main road. I and my brothers had grown up walking across it, 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 - 7 - so I wasn't scared. In fact, when I saw my brothers involved in a snowball fight on it, I joined in. After hitting my oldest brother in the back with a snowball, I laughed while he picked one up to throw back at me. I ran back to the far end of the bridge and thought I was safe, but he flung(用力扔)his snowball at me with all his strength. I saw it getting closer and closer. I bent down and ducked(闪避)thinking it would sail harmlessly over my head. But at the last second it dropped and it just hit me in the face. It pained me so much that I ran crying back inside to my mom who just shook her head and wiped off my nose, mouth, and eyes. Then she smiled, hugged me and sent me back outside to get on the bus and face life once again. That wasn't the last time that I tried to duck the troubles in my way and got hit in the face instead. Over the years I have learned that it is far better not to duck them at all, but rather to look them straight in the eye and learn what they have to teach me. 47．What was the author going to do on that cold day? A．He was going to school as usual. B．He was going to go shopping with her mom. C．He was going to fight with his two brothers. D．He was going to wait for the bus for his brothers. 48．When the author was waiting for the bus, he________． A．began to find a safe place B．joined in the snowball fight C．felt scared of the snowball fight D．hit his oldest brother with a football 49．Why did the author run back to his mother? A．He wanted his mother to punish his brother. B．He wanted to keep himself warmer inside. C．He wanted his mother to wipe off the snow. D．He wanted to get comfort from his mother. 50．What should be the best title of this text? A．The Snowball Fight B．Remember Not to Duck C．Mother's Beautiful Smile D．Learn from the Football Fight 第二节(共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分) 根据对话内容，从对话后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项多余选 项。 W: __51__ Did you go downtown yesterday?

However, we must add that achieving the status of “the rich” is not particularly difficult, contrary to popular wisdom. The rules for acquiring huge wealth are few and simple, one of which is to avoid temptations. That is easier said than done, and we don't necessarily recommend all people lead a pure and joyless life. To have a good chance at being rich, most individuals will need at least a college education, which will double their incomes over what they would have earned with only a high school diploma. A professional degree will result in an average annual income of about twice that of college graduates. The first auxiliary(辅助) rule for becoming rich is to stay in school or, if out of school, go back to it. Of course, to stay in school isn't enough and they will learn something worth the time and effort. It has never been easier to get an education. College costs have been rising steadily for more than a decade. However, the rate of return on a college education has been rising as well, making the investment a good deal. The second auxiliary rule for becoming rich is to pick your education carefully. Teachers will find getting rich tougher than engineers, given that the former can expect to earn half as much over their careers. Music professors may earn much less than their students who major in business. The third auxiliary rule for becoming rich is to marry someone with an equal or higher education, and then stay married. By itself, marriage seems to provide a stable institutional setting that promotes greater earnings, which affords greater savings. From my perspective, becoming rich is really a matter of choice and opportunities existing in large numbers. 56. What impression do the rich often leave on critics?

Sure, his words were the usual, “How's it going？” But he did something different—he actually listened to people. Then he would respond to what they had said and engage them in brief conversation. 看出，收银员在扫描条形码的时候，做了很多的事情，热情 地问候顾客。 32．A 细节理解题。从第五段 I thought it was odd.
