His face wore the biggest smile ever. He waved something above his head. “It’s a pen. But not just any pen. It’s a lucky pen!” He handed me the pen 1 , waiting for my reaction（反应）.‎ I looked at the pen in my hand. There was nothing 2 about it. It looked just like any other ballpoint pen. I had a drawer full of them. At that moment, I didn’t realize how special it was or how much I would come to treasure（珍爱）it.‎ I had made the decision to be a(n) 3 . I had dreamed about it for a long time but I was afraid of being refused by the publishing houses. The night before, I told my husband my ‎ 4 when I thought Cody wasn’t listening. “What if 5 likes my writing and I fail?” But Cody did 6 what I said. Now he stood in front of me, watching me examine the pen. “You don’t have to be afraid now,” he said. “This pen will make your 7 great and everyone will love you.”‎ Tears filled my eyes. Refusal and failure didn’t seem like such a big problem any more. Even if I 8 sold the first book, I had everything I could ever need. I knew that pen would bring me luck, though. And I felt 9 already, just by having Cody in my life, especially when I heard what he did to get it.‎ In the lunchroom, Cody heard an older boy talking about having a lucky 10 . He decided to get it for me. The boy was a tough negotiator(强硬的谈判者) but Cody didn’t 11 . In the end, he 12 his favorite Matchbox car, two army men his brother gave him, a crayon, and a piece of candy---his most important things, for that pen. Just to make 13 feel better.‎ I still have that pen, though it’s long out of ink, in a cup on my desk. When a refusal letter arrives and I start feeling 14 , I look at it and remember just how lucky I am.

There is no need to do that．"It's true that safety is more important than money．‎ After 10years of hard work，he saved up enough money to buy his first car，a cheap one﹣he wouldn't buy one until he could afford to pay for it without borrowing money．I learned：buy only what you can afford．Buying necessary food and clothing won't make us go in debt（债务）．The unnecessary things won't give us happiness，which comes from achievement only．‎ ‎19．What shop did the author's father own？　　‎ A．A food shop．‎ B．A bookshop．‎ C．A coffee shop．‎ D．A clothing shop．‎ ‎20．All the following are talked about in the passage EXCEPT　　．‎ A．the importance of working ‎ B．the good ways to keep healthy C．that safety comes before money ‎ D．that it's bad to spend more than you make ‎21．According to the author，what usually makes people go in debt？　　‎ A．To enjoy something unnecessary ‎ B．To send their children to school．‎ C．To buy enough food for the family．‎ D．To live in a big house with his family．‎ ‎22．What is the passage mainly about？　　‎ A．How to live a happy Life ‎ B．What Makes a Person Successful C．The Help I Got From My Father ‎ D．What the author Learned From his Father．‎ C Although people everywhere seem to enjoy drinking coffee，they don't all have the same coffee culture．In Europe for example，coffee shops are common places for people to meet friends and to talk while they drink coffee．On the other hand，places like this were not as common in North America in the past．Instead，people in North America liked to drink coffee in their homes with friends．The coffee culture in the USA changed when Starbucks（星巴克） coffee shops spread across the country．‎ The first Starbucks coffee shop opened in 1971in downtown Seattle，Washington，in the USA．It was a small coffee shop that cooked its own coffee beans．The coffee shop's business did well，and by 1981there were three Starbucks stores in Seattle．‎ Things really began to change for the company in 1981．That year，Howard Schultz met the three men who ran Starbucks．Schultz worked in New York for a company that made kitchen equipment．He noticed that Starbucks ordered a large number of special coffee makers，which caused his great interest．Schultz went to Seattle to see what Starbucks did．In 1982，the original Starbucks owners hired Schultz as the company's head of marketing（市场营销）．‎ In 1983，Schultz traveled to Italy．The special environment of the espresso （浓咖啡） bars there caught his eyes．Back in the USA，Schultz created an environment for Starbucks coffee shops that was comfortable and casual，and customers everywhere seemed to like it．Starbucks began opening more stores across the USA．Then the company opened coffee shops in other countries as well．Today，there are more than 16，000Starbucks coffee shops all over the world．‎ However，that does not mean Starbucks has not had problems．In fact，many Starbucks stores have closed over the past few years．On the one hand，this is because there were too many coffee shops competing for business in one small area．On the other hand，stores in some countries closed because the coffee culture there did not match with the"feel the same everywhere"environment offered by Starbucks．‎ ‎23．The underlined word"ran"in Paragraph 3probably means　　‎ A．closed ‎ B．managed ‎ C．left ‎ D．sold ‎ ‎24．According to the passage，which is the right order for the following sentences？　　‎ a．This man helped to make Starbucks a huge coffee company．‎ b．Starbucks began as a small coffee company in Seattle in the USA．‎ c．He went to Seattle to learn about the company and later worked for it．‎ b．Howard Schultz noticed Starbucks ordered lots of special coffee makers．‎ A．a﹣b﹣d﹣c ‎ B．c﹣a﹣b﹣d C．b﹣d﹣c﹣a ‎ D．d﹣c﹣a﹣b ‎25．Which of the following shows the right structure of the passage？（P=paragraph）　　‎ ‎26．What's the best title for the passage？　　‎ A．The History of Starbucks ‎ B．The Culture of Starbucks C．The Popularity of Starbucks ‎ D．The Environment of Starbucks．‎ D ‎ What would the world be like if cars could drive themselves? Imagine seeing an empty car passing by on its way to pick up its owner, or a car full of passengers who are reading, listening to music or even sleeping. But none of them are worried about the road ahead.‎ Well, all of this could be the future of driving. There are several companies, including Google, working on driverless cars. So far, no Google self-driven car has gotten a traffic ticket, but some of them have been in accidents when other cars hit them.‎ These cars are now still in the testing stages. But, if the tests are successful, these electric self-driven cars could be put into use very soon.‎ The cars already have many features（特点）allowing them to take the place of drivers during certain situations. Some features include cars being able to park themselves, or slow down when they notice objects close by. They can also control the speed if there are dangerous conditions.‎ Scientists and engineers believe, with the help of wireless signals, cameras and GPS, we are now at a stage where creating a safe self-driven car might be possible.‎ The cause of deadly road accidents is usually careless drivers or dangerous conditions. The self-driven car may be able to prevent these. However, some people do not like the idea. American lawyer Whit Drake, for example, doesn't believe these cars are safe. He thinks that technologies can also be mistakes.‎ ‎27. The main purpose of the first paragraph is to _____‎ A. make readers wonder about self-driven cars.‎ ‎ B. get readers to pay attention to road safety.‎ ‎ C. tell readers to keep away from heavy traffic.‎ ‎ D. tell readers what self-driven cars look like.‎ ‎28. From the passage,we know that the testing self-driven cars can already ______‎ ‎ A. avoid being hit by other vehicles on roads.‎ ‎ B. control the speed in dangerous situations.‎ ‎ C. turn around when getting near objects.‎ ‎ D. pick up their owners.‎ ‎29. What might make the self-driven cars run safely according to the passage?‎ ‎ a. e-reading b. wireless signals c. cameras d. GPS A. a, b, c B. a, b, d C. b, c, d D. a, c, d ‎ ‎30. What is Whit Drake's attitude toward the safety of the self-driven cars?‎ ‎ A. He has doubt about it.‎ ‎ B. He believes it completely.‎ ‎ C. He doesn't care about it.‎ ‎ D. He thinks its technologies are convincing（使人信服的）.‎ 三、任务型阅读（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 下面文章中有 5 处(第 31-35)需添加小标题。请从 A、B、C、D、E 和 F 中选出符合各段意思 的小标题。选项中有一项是多余选项。‎ A. Airlines need to better their service.‎ B. Please turn on the lights to let me read at night.‎ C. More trash cans and less rubbish on the streets.‎ D. It is dangerous for pedestrians to cross the road.‎ E. What’s the real price?‎ F. Disorderly parking on the sidewalk What annoys you most while traveling in China?‎ More and more foreigners are coming to visit China. Mostly they have a great time in our country. However, there are still some things that make the foreign visitors annoyed. Some are because of the culture differences, while the others are because of our bad habits. Here are the most annoying things according to some foreigners. Let’s change them and try our best to improve China’s image of tourism worldwide.‎ ‎31. . ‎ Joe Galler (US): To me, it was the littering. People just throwing trash down in the street, it is one thing to throw an orange peel or an apple core into the bushes when one is out for a walk in the country, but another thing entirely to throw food wrappers down.‎ When I was visiting Guangzhou a few months ago, I noticed people just dropping their litter everywhere, but there aren't many trash cans, so not much choice. But then, I see a lot more people walking around cleaning up the streets in the early hours too.‎ In US cities, we have trash cans everywhere and only low class people litter. The people go and empty the trash cans, but generally do not pick up garbage from the street, so when people litter here, it stays around longer.‎ ‎32. . ‎ Colin Speakman (UK): I have experienced many flight delays in China, especially out of Beijing and Shanghai on domestic routes. Generally it is wise to get one of the first few flights out before air traffic control starts building up long delays. I also agree with comments that the airlines are poor at confirming information about rescheduled flight boarding times - they just do not seem to know.‎ ‎33. . ‎ Seneca (Germany): What annoys me - not enough to devote a thread to complain about it - is that when travelling at night in China I cannot read a book, magazine, or newspaper because there is no light in public buses and trains.‎ Bus drivers would tell me the light is broken. Or the bright light inside the bus would interfere with driving safety; even reading lamps mounted above the heads of passengers won't get turned on. Chinese night trains are even worse. In a hard-sleeper compartment, the light goes out at around 10 p.m.‎ ‎34. . ‎ Smaug (US): One other thing that bugged me was the motorcycle taxi drivers parking right on the sidewalk, and blocking foot traffic. Everyone has to walk around them, and they don't care. Those guys would be ticketed immediately in the US. But it is ‎ a cultural thing, I guess. My girlfriend told me they are illegal, but it is hard to catch them and prove what they were doing.‎ ‎35. . ‎ Blonde Amber (Ireland): As it is, foreigners in China are often given a menu that contains higher pricing. I don't trust any Chinese restaurant that does not display prices and I have learnt to check everything carefully before I pay, taking a picture of the menu to ensure I am not cheated. At home, all prices must be displayed outside the restaurant.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ 卷Ⅱ 四、词汇运用（共15小题，每小题1分，满分15分）‎ ‎ (A)、根据短文内容和括号内汉语提示，写出空缺处各单词的正确形式，每空只写一词。‎ In a primary school, a teacher asked her students what they wished to become when they grew up.

I have so many meetings and activities.” The teacher now 43________(理解) why the child felt 44________(孤独) at home.‎ ‎“I think children want their parents to spend 45________（多） time with them.” said the teacher.‎ ‎（B）、用方框中所给单词的适当形式填空填入对话空白处，使对话通顺正确。每词限用一次，每空只写一词。‎ ‎ ‎‎ happy laugh we watch tell It was a Sunday morning.
