I first moved to Foxboro, Massachusetts,
11、 as a single mother with my baby daughter, Darcy. I was drawn to its New England beauty, friendly people and rich history. It happened that there were a lot of forsythia(连翘) bushes around the house in which I lived just like my childhood home. I joined St. Mark s Episcopal Church where I taught the
12、Sunday school. At church, I met my second husband, Dean. For more than 25 years, I bloomed in Foxboro, and I had another two children.Then, when Darcy was a few years out of college, she moved to Alameda, California, to be near friends. I missed her badly. A year later my beloved husband Dean had de
13、adly cancer. He only made it eight months. My heart was broken. Later I moved to Alameda with my children. It was a beautiful Victorian island, and I was grateful to spend more time with Darcy. I even attended a church and made a few friends there. Still, I couldnt help but miss Foxboro. It had ever
14、ything and everyone I loved.One spring day, when I was walking by a school, something yellow caught my eyes. Forsythia bushes! They made me homesick and I kept back my tears. “I miss you, Foxboro,” I whispered. Then I went into a shop and looked at some ceramic(陶瓷的) pots lined up on a shelf. A large
15、 white one seemed to catch my attention. “Thatll be perfect in my living room,” I thought.I turned it over to look at the price. Instead I found these words: “New England Pottery, Foxboro, Massachusetts.” A piece of artwork, from my second hometown, was right here. It was able to spread across the c
16、ountry and so were forsythia bushes. I took it as a sign that I can bloom, right where I am.21. From the text we learn that the author .A. gave birth to three children in FoxboroB. planted forsythia bushes around her houseC. got to know her second husband at churchD. worked as a middle school teache
17、r in Foxboro22. When the author saw forsythia bushes at a school she .A. wanted to buy a ceramic pot to put them inB. thought of her life in FoxboroC. felt they would look great in her living roomD. believed they were real art work23.

18、ted to show she likes flowers.B. Because girls are like flowers that are blooming.C. Because she moved across the country just like flowers.D. Because she can live in any place that is right like flowers.BOK, I admit it: emoticons (表情符号) are popular. Some people even think they are fun. Many seem un
19、able to send an e-mail or Instant Message chat sentence without using one. Some feel that they add feeling and character to otherwise cold digital communications.Some, however, such as editor and Hollywood scriptwriter John Blumenthal, see the use of emoticons as “childish (幼稚的) just like the people
20、 who use them”. He believes that words themselves should be enough. “If youre being funny, happy or sad, that should be obvious from the words that go before the emoticon,” he argues. In the eyes of Blumenthal, the use of emoticons is a gender (性别) issue. “Men dont use emoticons very much. Maybe not
21、 at all,” he said. “Teenage girls and women seem to use them a lot.”Its an interesting opinion, but it is not shared by all.In an interview with The New York Times, Dacher Keltner, professor of psychology at the University of California, said that emoticons are popular because our brains are program
22、med “to seek out representations of humanity”. He believes that they appeal (吸引人) not because they are shortcuts for the lazy, but because they tap into (融入) something beyond language. They reach to our need to be with and communicate with people.All of these arguments may be somehow real. Each one
23、of us will choose to communicate in our own way. I do not have much time for emoticons. I tried to use one once and felt like I was stealing in on a primary school class that I had no place being in. Id rather let my words do the talking.Friends, however, send me messages and e-mails full of emotico
24、ns. I have no problem with this. I dont regard any of my friends as lazy or immature (不成熟的). Its just a question of individuality. :)24. According to the article, emoticons are popular because _.A. most of them look funnyB. they are easy for lazy people to useC. they add feeling and character to a c
25、ommunicationD. a reader cannot understand a message without them25. Which of the following views would John Blumenthal agree with?A. Instant Message chatters are childish.B. Its enough to use language in digital communication.C. Men never use emoticons.D. There is an emoticon gene in everybody.26. F
26、rom the text, we can conclude that the author _.A. feels he has no difficulty using emoticons B. thinks emoticons dont suit himC. encourage his friends to use emoticons D. believes that emoticons are suitable for everyone27. What is the main point of the article?A. Advice on language used over the I
27、nternet.B. The history of emoticons.C. Arguments over the use of emoticons.D. Reasons for the popularity of emoticons.CDont be surprised if you see a group of people dancing or shouting on the square. They are a flash mob. Confused by their name? Actually, a flash mob, organized with the help of the
28、 Internet or other digital communications networks, is a group of people who gather suddenly in a public place, do something unusual for a period of time, such as exchanging books, coming together to look at the sky, waving their hands and shouting something at the top of their lungs for 30 seconds,
29、 and then quickly disappear before the police can arrive. Bill Wasik, senior editor of Harpers Magazine,organized the first flash mob in Manhattan in May 2003 and the first successful flash mob gathered on June 3, 2003 at Macys department store involving 100 people gathering on Macys Department Stor
30、e. Following this, about 200 people flooded the lobby of the Hyatt hotel, applauding in one voice for fifteen seconds, and next participants pretending to be tourists on a trip invaded a shoe shop in Soho. A later mob saw hundreds of people in Central Park making bird noises. Wasik claimed that he c
31、reated flash mobs as a social experiment designed to make fun of hipsters （赶时髦的人）, and call attention to the cultural atmosphere Many web logs, chat rooms and Web groups are devoted to the craze. Though flash mobs were originally regarded as useless, the concept has already developed for the benefit
32、 of political and social events. Flash mobbing takes advantage of the efficiency of communicating information on Websites and by email, and protesters can similarly use the “on and off” concept to be involved in political events. Such flash mob gatherings can sometimes shock or frighten people who a
33、re not aware of what is taking place. They also have enormous economic potential, such as using flash mobs to advertise a product. The flash mob is now becoming more and more popular. People use it to do many things. For example, in 2009, hundreds of Michael Jacksons fans took part in a flash mob to
34、 remember him, gathering outside the railway station in Liverpool, singing and dancing Michaels famous song Beat It together. In another example, some people took part in a flash mob to warn people against negative words. Flash mobs give people from all walks of life an opportunity to come together
35、to create a memory. 28. The writer indicates that the flash mob _.A. may perform some positive functionsB. is always a headache for the police C. is now a social experiment to criticize fashion followers D. helps to improve the efficiency of communication29.

36、ut leaflets of a brand bicycle to the passers-byB. gather in public places performing and leave quicklyC. plan to go mountaineering on the first day of Horse YearD. sit for days in front of the city hall for higher wages 30. According to the passage, what contribute(s) most to the popularity of the
37、flash mob?A. Harpers Magazine B. the government C. political events D. digital networks 31. The purpose of the writing is _.A. to amuse and interest B. to argue and adviseC. to describe and introduce D. to question and commentDHigh-quality customer service is preached (宣扬) by many, but actually keep
38、ing customers happy is easier said than done. Shoppers seldom complain to the manager or owner of a retail（零售） store, but instead will alert their friends, relatives, co-workers, strangersand anyone who will listen. Store managers are often the last to hear complaints, and often find out only when t
39、heir regular customers decide to frequent their competitors, according to a study jointly conducted by Verde Group and Wharton School. “Storytelling hurts retailers and entertains consumers,” said Paula Courtney, President of the Verde Group. “The store loses the customer, but the shopper must also
40、find a replacement.” On average, every unhappy customer will complain to at least four others, and will no longer visit the specific store. For every dissatisfied customer, a store will lose up to three more due to negative review. The resulting “snowball effect” can be disastrous to retailers. Acco
41、rding to the research, shoppers who purchased clothing encountered the most problems. Ranked second and third were grocery and electronics customers. The most common complaints include filled parking lots, cluttered (塞满了的) shelves, overloaded racks, out-of-stock items, long check-out lines, and rude
42、 salespeople. During peak shopping hours, some retailers solved parking problems by getting moonlighting (业余兼职的) local police to work as parking attendants. Some hired flag wavers to direct customers to empty parking spaces. This guidance eliminated（消除）the need for customers to circle the parking lo
43、t endlessly, and avoided confrontation between those eyeing the same parking space. Retailers can relieve the headaches by redesigning store layouts, pre-stocking sales items, hiring speedy and experienced cashiers, and having sales representatives on hand to answer questions. Most importantly, sale
44、speople should be diplomatic and polite with angry customers. “Retailers whore responsive and friendly are more likely to smooth over issues than those who arent so friendly,” said Professor Stephen Hoch. “Maybe something as simple as a greeter at the store entrance would help.” Customers can also i
45、mprove future shopping experiences by filing complaints to the retailer, instead of complaining to the rest of the world. Retailers are hard-pressed to improve when they have no idea what is wrong.32. Why are store managers often the last to hear complaints?A. Most customers wont bother to complain
46、even if they have had unhappy experiences. B. Customers would rather relate their unhappy experiences to people around them. C. Few customers believe the service will be improved. . D. Customers have no easy access to store managers.33. What does Paula Courtney imply by saying “the shopper must also
47、 find a replacement” (Line 2, Para. 4)?A. New customers are bound to replace old ones. B. It is not likely the shopper can find the same products in other stores. C. Most stores provide the same kind of service. D. Not complaining to the manager causes the shopper some trouble too.34. What contribut
48、es most to smoothing over issues with customers?A. Manners of the salespeople.B. Hiring of efficient employees.C. Huge supply of goods for sale.D. Design of store layout.35. To achieve better shopping experiences, customers are advised to _.A. put pressure on stores to improve their service B. settl
49、e their disputes with stores in a diplomatic way C. voice their dissatisfaction to store managers directlyD. shop around and make comparisons between stores第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10 分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 A group of happy, high-performing individuals is not a team. Even if each of th
50、e people is highly motivated and wants to do great work, you will still need to spend time actively developing a sense of unity and cooperation to create a truly team-oriented(团队精神的) environment. 36 Building a team takes time. 37 We will review the building blocks of a team environment, so you can w
51、ork on this aspect of your role over time.Successful teams have some common attributes（品质） you can encourage and develop as you work with the members of your group. 38 Making them clear to every member of your group is a great first step toward developing a team-oriented culture.All effective teams
52、operate on the basis of trust. 39 Each member on your team needs to see consistent(一致的) behavior patterns from you and their colleagues over time to be able to believe a certain person will act in a certain way. 40 While having these discussions can be great for your teams creativity, you want to en
