They have decided to do something to stop it.‎ As online shopping has become more and more popular, some shop owners have 46 that although their shops look busy, they aren’t making much money. This is because customers are 47 to save money by buying online but are worried about choosing the wrong size or colour. So they go to stores to try on clothes before going home to 48 them from a website.‎ But now stores in Australia have come up with an idea to stop this. They are asking customers to pay a ‘trying on’ fee. Winter sportswear shops have introduced charges (收费) of up to $50 to try on boots or other ski wear. This charge is returned if customers come back to buy the 49 within seven days.‎ A. effort B. fare C. fair D. at all E. seriously It isn’t just ski wear; some bridal (新娘的) shops have also introduced charges. Martha Jones, owner of Wedded Bliss, a bridal shop in Melbourne, explains, “we get a lot of people who are not here to buy dresses 50 . Either they try on in-store and then shop online, or they are girls who are not even getting married; they just want to see what they look like in different wedding dresses. Fitting a woman for her wedding dress is a specialist skill that we take very 51 , and we put in time and 52 to make sure the dress is exactly right.’ The fee has been successful: ‘We’ve had fewer time-wasters,’ explains Jones, ‘which means we have been able to give our real customers an even better service.’‎ Would you pay to try on clothes? Do you think it is 53 to charge brides to try on dresses? Let us know in the comments section below.‎ Ⅳ.

Reading comprehension (阅读理解): (共50分)‎ A. Choose the best answer（根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案): (14分)‎ When the plane arrived on Prince Edward Island in Canada, the snow was thick on the ground as they’d had about 100cm in 24 hours. That amount of snow was unusual for the island but I didn’t know that so I wasn’t worried. It didn’t look much thicker than snow I’d seen in Scotland. I was going to visit my friend, Chris, and he’d warned me it would be very cold and snowy. In fact I was feeling too warm as I had too many clothes on.‎ Chris met me in his car and we were quite near his house, which was only five kilometers from the airport, when we got stuck in the snow. So we phoned the road rescue services and a man and a truck arrived. He said we were the fifth car he’d pulled out of the snow that evening. He started the engine and he’d almost pulled us out ... Only to find that the truck had brought a whole pile of snow down from the sides of the road onto both vehicles and the truck was stuck too. He phoned to get an even larger truck to come and rescue us all. In the end it did!‎ Chris turned off the engine and we sat in the car to wait for the second truck to pull us out. I suggested he might keep the engine running so we could stay warm. He pointed out that the gas gauge was showing nearly empty and he was worried that we still had to get to his house. We finally arrived at his house at 4.30 in the morning -five hours after leaving the airport.‎ ‎69.

Choose the words or expressions and complete the passage（选择最恰当的单词或词语完成短文):（12分）‎ Everyone knows something about the USA and the Americans. But films and television often give the wrong idea about the country and its people.‎ People The popular stereotype of Americans is that they are rude and 75 a lot - especially at sports events! In comparison with the British, Americans are more informal. 76 , they often call teachers by their first names. However, many Americans are like people in other countries - polite and helpful, especially with foreigners.‎ Food The size of meals in American restaurants is very large, especially compared to the UK. And if you can’t finish your meal, it’s 77 to ask to take some home with you. This is completely different from the UK! And don’t forget to leave a tip in restaurants and bars. This is very important - you should leave about 15% of the bill.‎ Holidays Americans don’t get much holiday. Most people have about two weeks of holiday each year. This is quite unlike other western countries. The average is about four weeks of holiday. However, Americans also have about ten national holidays each year. This is 78 most countries.‎ Living costs Compared with the UK, the USA is 79 a lot cheaper for clothes, eating out, entertainment and much more! But the cost of renting (租) a flat is much the same as the UK and is quite expensive in big cities.‎ ‎ 80 ‎ The USA is a huge country and there are four different time zones in the USA. So when it’s 10 a..m. in New York, it’s 7 a.m. in San Francisco. Don’t forget this when you’re phoning someone! In comparison with the north, winters in the south are not usually very cold. Check the weather in the area you are going to.‎ ‎75. A) smile B) shout C) move D) sleep ‎76. A) What’s more B) On average C) For example D) After all ‎77. A) unusual B) common C) necessary D) stupid ‎78. A) familiar to B) different from C) similar to D) connected with ‎79. A) generally B) actually C) hardly D) possibly ‎80. A) Clothes B) Manners C) Size and location D) Time and temperature C. Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words（在短文的空格内填入适当的词，使其内容通顺，每空格限填一词，首字母已给):（14分）‎ In the past few decades, a large number of new electronic devices have appeared: MP3 players, camcorders, e-book readers, and so on. Will the future bring new gadgets (小玩意)? Perhaps, but many experts believed that the number of gadgets will actually d 81 as people do more and more things with just one device: the smart phone.‎ This c 82 has already happened in Tokyo. There, mobile phones are making travelling much easier and f 83 . Imagine you are waiting at a Tokyo bus stop. If you use the camera on your smart phone to take a photo of a special icon (图标) on the bus stop, the timetable appears on your s 84 . When the bus arrives, you use the same phone to pay for your ride.‎ At airports, it’s even more useful. You don’t need a t 85 or a boarding pass - with just your phone, you can be on your plane only 15 minutes after arriving at the airport. And at hotels, the phone allows you to pay for the room w 86 using a credit card or money. It even opens your hotel room door!‎ The phone a 87 helps you find the way when you’re on foot. If you hold it in your hand, it tells you which way to go. This is especially useful in Tokyo, where it’s so easy to get lost!‎ D. Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题): ( 12分)‎ As soon as people realize that my brother Michael, my sister Tiffany and I were born on the same day, that we’re triplets, they ask the strangest questions. But no, we can’t read each other’s minds. We don’t have the same dreams. And I can promise you that we don’t always get along. These are the things I get asked most often when people meet me for the first time.‎ Although there are lots of good things about being a triplet, one thing I really don’t like is when people think of us as one person - ‘MichaelDesireeTiffany’ instead of ‘Michael’ and ‘Desiree’ and ‘Tiffany’. I don’t like it when people think we should act or think the same just because we were born at the same time, like when people ask me why I’m so shy while Michael and Tiffany are so much louder. And I definitely don’t like it when people don’t understand that we have individual (个人的) choices of what to do in our spare time.‎ Growing up, Tiffany, Michael and I shared almost everything. It was funny how the exact moment I wanted to use the bike was the same time that Tiffany felt like going for a ride. When the three of us learned to drive at the same time, we very often fought over who got to practise with the car.‎ My dad came up with a brilliant plan called ‘turns’. One Sunday a month, each of us would have a chance to spend three hours with our dad, alone, and do whatever we wanted. For three hours every month each of us was allowed to feel like he/she was an only child. This helped me to see that being a triplet is a part of me, but it isn’t the only part of me. I don’t just want to be thought of as ‘Desiree, the girl who’s a triplet’. I want to be thought of as an individual.‎ ‎88. Is Desiree the only girl of the triplets?‎ ‎89. What question might people ask the triplets when they first meet them? Give one example.‎ ‎90. How did they decide who practised with the car first?‎ ‎91. How often could each of the triplets have the “alone time” with their father?‎ ‎92. In what ways are the triplets different? (List 2)‎ ‎ They have different __________ and __________.‎ 93. What are the bad things about being a triplet?‎ Ⅶ. Writing (作文): (共20分) ‎ 94. In 60 to 120 words, write about the topic “Memories”. ( 以“回忆”为题，写一篇60-120个词的短文，标点符号不占格)‎ ‎ ‎ The following questions are for reference only. (以下问题仅供参考)‎ ü What do memories mean to you?‎ ü What are the things that bring back your memories?‎ ü How do you record your memories?‎ ‎（ 注意：短文中不得出现考生真实的姓名、校名及其他相关信息，否则不予评分。）‎
