Buyers from 19 countries have paid for the ‎ souvenirs（纪念品）. The idea has been so successful that he is thinking of promoting it around the world. ‎ It all began when Mr Gignac was at a summer workshop, “We had a discussion about the importance of 42 ,”he recalls.” Someone said packaging was unimportant. I disagreed. The only way to prove it was by selling something nobody would ever want.” ‎ He searches the streets of Manhattan and typical 43 include broken glass, subway tickets, Starbucks cups and used 44 forks. “Special editions” are offered at a high price. He charged ＄100 for rubbish from the opening day of the New York Yankees’ stadium. ‎ Mr Gignac denies 45 his customers for fools: “They know what they’re getting. They appreciate the fact that they’re taking something nobody would want and finding beauty in it.” ‎ Some 46 customers include people who used to live in the city and want a down-to-earth souvenir. He claims he has even sold to art collectors. ‎ Realizing that the concept appears to be a real money-maker, Mr Gignac has ‎47 a company and is employing his girlfriend as vice president. He 48 to discuss his profit margins: “It’s actually quite a lot of effort putting them together-but yes, garbage is free.” ‎ Mr Gignac is considering more varieties of souvenirs. He maintains that he has signed 49 with people interested in similar projects from as far as Berlin and London. ‎ ‎【答案】41. C 42. E 43. A 44. D 45. B 46. H 47. J 48.F 49.

Reading Comprehension ‎ Section A ‎ Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. ‎ Most people believe they don’t have much imagination. They are 50 .Everyone has imagination, but most of us, once we become adults, forget how to 51 it. Creativity isn’t ‎ always 52 with great works of art or ideas. People at work and in their free time 53 think of creative ways to solve problems. Maybe you have a goal to achieve, a tricky question to answer or you just want to expand your mind! Here are three techniques to help you. ‎ Making connections This technique involves taking 54 ideas and trying to find links between them. First, think about the problem you have to solve or the job you need to do. Then find an image, word, idea or object, for example, a candle. Write down all the idea/words 55 with candles: light, fire, matches, wax, night, silence, etc. Think of as many as you can. The next stage is to relate the 56 to the job you have to do. So imagine you want to buy a friend an original 57 ; you could buy him tickets to match or take him out for the night. ‎ NO limits! Imagine that normal limitations don’t 58 . You have as much time/space/money, etc. as you want. Think about your goal and the new 59 .If your goal is to learn to ski, 60 , you can now practise skiing every day of your life （because you have the time and the money）. Now 61 this to reality. Maybe you can practise skiing ever day in December, or every Monday in January. ‎ Be someone else! Look at the situation from a 62 point of view. Good businessmen use this technique in trade, and so do writes. Fiction writers often imagine they are the ‎63 in their books. They ask question: What does this character want? Why can’t she get it? What changes must she make to get what she wants? If your goal involves other people, put yourself in their 64 . The best fishermen think like fish! ‎ ‎50.

A. put up with B. catch up with C. make use of D. keep track of ‎【答案】C ‎【解析】一旦我们长大，我们中的许多人就忘记如何利用想象力。所以下文教你如何培养自己的想象力。put up with容忍；catch up with赶上，跟上；make use of利用；keep track of明了。‎ ‎52. A. equipped B. compared C. covered D. connected ‎ ‎【答案】D ‎【解析】下文谈论的都是有关个人工作生活的琐事，所以本句意思应该为“创造力不总是和伟大的艺术和思想著作联系在一起的。‎ ‎53.

A. familiar B. unrelated C. creative D. imaginary ‎【答案】B ‎【解析】由下文举蜡烛的例子可知，本句的意思是：这种技巧要求写下互不相关的想法并努力找到它们之间的联系。familiar熟悉的, 常见的, 听惯的, 亲近的, 随便的；unrelated无关的 不相干的；creative创造性的；imaginary假想的, 想象的, 虚构的。‎ ‎55. A. presented B. marked C. lit D. associated ‎ ‎【答案】D。‎ ‎【解析】由下文叙述可知，此处是说：写下和蜡烛有关的所有想法和词语……。present介绍, 引见, 给, 赠送, 上演, 提出, 呈现； mark做标记于, 打分数, 标志；light点着, 变亮；associate使发生联系, 使联合。‎ ‎56.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. ‎ ‎（A） ‎ Even at school there had been an unhealthy competition between George and Richard. ‎ ‎ “I’ll be the first millionaire in Coleford!” Richard used to boast. ‎ ‎ “And you’ll be sorry you knew me,” George would reply “because I’ll be the best lawyer in town!” ‎ George never did become a lawyer and Richard never made any money. Instead both men opened bookshops on opposite sides of Coleford High Street. It was hard to make money from books, which made the competition between them worse. ‎ Now with only one bookshop in town, business was better for George. But sometimes he sat in his narrow , old kitchen and gazed out of the dirty window , thinking about his former rival （竞争对手）。Perhaps he missed him? ‎ George was very interested in old dictionaries, He’d recently found a collector in Australia who was selling a rare first edition. When the parcel arrived, the book was in perfect condition and George was delighted. But while he was having lunch, George glanced at the photo in the newspaper that the book had been wrapped in. He was astonished—the smiling face was older than he remembered but unmistakable! Trembling, George started reading. ‎ ‎ “Bookends have bought ten bookstores from their rivals Dylans. The company, owned by multi-millionaire Richard Pike, is now the largest bookseller in Australia. ” ‎ ‎65. George and Rivhard were at school. ‎ A. roommates B. good friends ‎ C. competitors D. booksellers ‎【答案】C ‎【解析】细节理解题。由第一段“Even at school there had been an unhealthy competition between George and Richard.”可知从上学开始，乔治和理查德就是竞争对手。A、B、D三项没有根据，可排除。‎ ‎66. How did George feel about Richard after his disappearance? ‎ A. He envied Richard’s marriage. ‎ B. He thought of Richard from time to time. ‎ C. He felt lucky with no rival in town. ‎ · D. He was guilty of Richard’s death. ‎ ‎【答案】B ‎【解析】细节理解题。由第五段“But sometimes he sat in his narrow , old kitchen and gazed out of the dirty window , thinking about his former rival （竞争对手）, Perhaps he missed him?”可知理查德消失后乔治常常想起他来，故B项正确。A、D两项文中没有交代，属于主观臆测。C项也无从推断出乔治在没有了竞争对手后感到很幸运。‎ ‎67. George got information about Richard from . ‎ A. a dictionary collector in Australia ‎ B. the latter’s rivals Dylans ‎ C. a rare first edition of a dictionary ‎ · D. the wrapping paper of a book ‎ ‎【答案】D ‎【解析】细节把握题。由第六段“But while he was having lunch, George glanced at the photo in the newspaper that the book had been wrapped in.”一句可知乔治是从包书的一张报纸上得知理查德的消息的，故答案为D。‎ ‎68. What happened to George and Richard in the end? ‎ A. Both George and Richard became millionaires. ‎ B. Both of them realized their original ambitions. ‎ C. George established a successful business white Richard was missing. ‎ · D. Richard became a millionaire while George had no great success. ‎ ‎【答案】D ‎【解析】细节理解题。由最后一段可知理查德成了澳大利亚最大的书商，身价数百万，而仍然固守自己的小书店的乔治，没有取得大成就，故答案为D。‎ ‎（B） ‎ Horse-drawn sleigh rides Dogsledding Snowmobiling ‎ Welcome to Banff‎, ‎Canada’s first, most famous and arguably most fascinating national park. If you’ve come to ski or snowboard, we’ll see you on the slopes. Skiing is a local favourite too. ‎ While you’re here, try other recreational activities available in our mountains. Popular choices include a Banff Gondola ride up Sulphur Mountain, bathe in the natural mineral waters at the Upper Hot Spring, horse-drawn sleigh ride, drive-your-own-team dog sled excursion, and snowmobile tour to the highland（but not in the national park）. ‎ We also recommend you make time to enjoy simple pleasures. After looking around Banff Ave shops, walk a couple of blocks west or south to the scenic Bow‎ ‎River. ‎ True ice skating on frozen Lake Louise where Ice Magic International Ice Sculpture Competition Works are displayed after Jan 25. You can rent skates in Banff or at the sport shop in the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise hotel. ‎ Banff‎’s backcountry paths access a wilderness world of silence and matchless beauty—cross country skis and snowshoes provide the means. Banff sport shops rent equipment and clothes, or join an organized tour. Although we’ve been many times, we still find the cliffs and icefalls of our frozen canyons worth visiting. ‎ Wildlife watching also creates satisfying memories. We have seen hundreds of the elk and bighorn sheep that attract visitors, yet they still arouse a sense of wonder. And the rare spotting of a cougar, wolf or woodland caribou takes our breath away. ‎ See if simple pleasure work for your Fight in the snow with your kids, walk beside a stream or climb to a high place and admire the view. ‎ ‎—Banff Resort Guide Editors ‎ ‎69. According to the passage, Banff’s backcountry is accessible by . ‎ A. cross country skiing B, horse-drawn sleigh riding ‎ C. snowmobiling D. dogsledding ‎ ‎【答案】A ‎【解析】细节把握题。由第五段“Banff’s backcountry paths access a wilderness world of silence and matchless beauty—cross country skis and snowshoes provide the means.”可知本题答案为A。‎ ‎70. Which of the following is true according to the passage? ‎ A. Dogsledding is the most popular sport among local people. ‎ B. Watching wildlife is a memorable experience. ‎ C. Travelers should bring their own sports equipment. ‎ · D. Shopping is too simple a pleasure to enjoy. ‎ ‎【答案】B ‎【解析】细节判断题。由第六段“Wildlife watching also creates satisfying memories.”可知B项说法正确。A项说法太绝对，没有事实根据。由第四段“You can rent skates in Banff or at the sport shop in the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise hotel.”和第五段“Banff sport shops rent equipment and clothes, or join an organized tour.”可知游客不必自带运动器具，故C项说法不对。D项无从考证。‎ ‎71. The purpose of the writing is to _______. ‎ A. promote scenic spots in Canada ‎ B. advertise for the sports in Banff ‎ C. introduce tourist activities in Banff ‎ D. describe breathtaking views in Banff ‎ ‎【答案】C ‎【解析】推理判断题。本文是一篇旅游景点和项目介绍的说明文。其目的当然是向游客介绍Banff的游览活动了，故正确答案为C。A项拔高了主题，B、D两项以偏概全。‎ ‎（C） ‎ ‎ “Get your hands off me, I have been stolen,” the laptop, a portable computer, shouted. That is a new solution to laptop computer theft: a program that lets owners give their property a voice when it has been taken. ‎ The program allows users to display alerts on the missing computer’s screen and even to set a spoken message. Tracking software for stolen laptops has been on the market for some time, but this is thought to be the first that allows owners to give the thief a piece of their mind. ‎ Owners must report their laptop missing by visiting a website, which sends a message to the model: a red and yellow “lost or stolen” sign appears on its screen when it is started. Under the latest version（版本）of the software, users can also send a spoken message. ‎ The message can be set to reappear every 30 seconds, no matter how many times the thief closes it.” One customer sent a message saying,’ You are being tracked. I am right at your door’,” said Carrie Hafeman, chief executive of the company which produces the program, Retriever. ‎ In the latest version, people can add a spoken message. For example, the laptop’s speakers will say: “Help, this laptop is reported lost or stolen. If you are not my owner, report me now.” ‎ The Retriever software package, which costs $29.95 but has a free trial period, has the functions of many security software programs .Owners can remotely switch to an alternative password if they fear that the thief has also got hold of the access details. ‎ If a thief accesses the internet with the stolen laptop, Retriever will collect information on the internet service provider in use, so that the police can be alerted to its location. ‎ Thousands of laptops are stolen every year form homes and offices, but with the use of laptops increasing, the number stolen while their owners are out and about has been rising sharply. ‎ Other security software allows users to erase data remotely or lock down the computer. ‎ ‎72. The expression “to give the thief a piece of their mind “can be understood as “_______” ‎ A. to give the thief an alert mind ‎ B. to express the owners’ anger to the thief ‎ C. to remind the thief of this conscience ‎ D. to make the thief give up his mind ‎【答案】B ‎【解析】语句理解题。由第一二段可知，这种新型软件的新功能是可以向手提电脑偷窃者发出语音信息，如：Get your hands off me, I have been stolen.这显然是表达电脑主人对窃贼的愤怒情绪的，故正确答案为B。其他同类软件具有向窃贼发出警告文字信息的功能，故A项和题干不能完全吻合，可排除。‎ ‎73. Different from other security software, Retriever can . ‎ A. record the stealing process B. help recognize the lost laptop ‎ C. lock down the computer remotely D. send a spoken message ‎【答案】D ‎【解析】细节理解题。由第二段“Tracking software for stolen laptops has been on the market for some time, but this is thought to be the first that allows owners to give the thief a piece of their mind.”可知答案为D。‎ ‎74. One function of the program is that it allows the owner to at a distance. ‎ A. change some access details for switching on the laptop ‎ B. turn on the laptop by using the original password ‎ C. operate the laptop by means of and alternative password ‎ D. erase the information kept in the stolen laptop ‎【答案】A ‎【解析】 细节理解题。由第六段“Owners can remotely switch to an alternative password if they fear that the thief has also got hold of the access details.”可知A项说法正确。B、C是对本句的误解。由第九段可知，清除被盗电脑信息并非这种软件的功能，可排除。‎ ‎75. Which of the following can best summarize the main idea of the passage? ‎ A. With no Retriever, thousands of laptops are stolen every year. ‎ B. A new soft ware provides a means to reduce laptop theft. ‎ C. Retriever has helped to find thieves and lost computers. ‎ D. A new program offers a communication platform with the thief. ‎ ‎【答案】B ‎【解析】主旨概括题。本文介绍了一种新型电脑防盗软件，这种软件不仅能向窃贼发送文字和语音信息，还能跟踪、远程改变密码以及收集网络信息帮助警方发现电脑位置，以减少手提电脑的失窃事件。B项较全面的概括了这一主题，为正确答案。其余几项偏题。‎ ‎（D） ‎ The latest research suggests that the key factor separating geniuses from the merely accomplished is not I.Q., a generally bad predictor of success. Instead, it’s purposeful practice. Top performers spend more hours practising their craft. It you wanted to picture how a typical genius might develop, you’d take a girl who possessed a slightly above average language ability. It wouldn’t have to be a big talent, just enough so that she might gain some sense of distinction. Then ‎ you would want her to meet, say, a novelist, who coincidentally shared some similar qualities. Maybe the writer was from the same town, had the same family background, or shared the same birthday. ‎ This contact would give the girl a vision of her future self. It would hive her some idea of a fascinating circle who might someday join. It would also help if one of her parents died when she was 12, giving her a strong sense of insecurity and fuelling a desperate need for success. Armed with this ambition, she would read novels and life stories of writers without end. This would give her a primary knowledge of her field. She’s be able to see new writing in deeper ways and quickly understand its inner workings. ‎ Then she would practise writing. Her practice would be slow, painstaking and error-focused. By practising in this way, he delays the automatizing process. Her mind wants to turn conscious, newly learned skills into unconscious. Automatically performed skills. By practising slowly, by breaking skills down into tiny parts and repeating, she forces the brain to internalize a better pattern of performance. Then she would find an adviser who would provide a constant stream of feedback, viewing her performance form the outside, correcting the smallest errors, pushing her to take on tougher challenges. By now she is redoing problems—how do I get characters into a room—dozens and dozens of times. She is establishing habits of thought she can call upon in order to understand or solve future problems. ‎ The primary quality our young writer possesses is not some mysterious genius. It’s the ability to develop a purposeful, laborious and boring practice routine; the latest research takes some of the magic out of great achievement. But it underlines a fact that is often neglected. Public discussion is affected by genetics and what we’re “hard-wired” to do. And it’s true that genes play a role in our capabilities. But the brain is also very plastic. We construct ourselves through behaviour. ‎ ‎76.
