11、给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。AMr.Selfridge, the Wisconsin-born retailer (零售商) who left school at 14, rose to become a partner in Marshall Fields, Chicago. Founded in 1852, it was one of the first and most ambitious US department stores. Mr.Selfridge had done well with Marshall Fields. He liked to say, “T
12、he customer is always right,” which made the Chicago store popular. And he is believed to have invented the phrase “Only (so many) Shopping Days until Christmas”.When he visited London on holiday in 1906 he was surprised to find most of the citys department stores were no match of their American and
13、 Parisian competitors. This led Selfridge to leave the US and establish Selfridges, a department store named after him, at the west end of Londons Oxford Street. In Oxford Street, Selfridges design team shaped an ambitious classical palace building with a wall of plate glass windows.Opened in 1909,
14、Selfridges offered customers a hundred departments along with restaurants, a roof garden,reading and writing rooms, reception areas for foreign visitors, a first aid room and most importantly, a small army of knowledgeable floor-walking assistants who served as guides as well as being thoroughly ins
15、tructed in the art of making a sale.Mr.Selfridge did much to make the department store a destination rather than just a big and comprehensively stocked city shop. It became a place to meet and for ladies to lunch. Mr.Selfridge later introduced the department store as a key element of the 20th Centur
16、y culture, and Chaplin acknowledged the growing trend for shopping in the department store in his film The Floorwalker.21.What can be learned about Mr.Selfridge from Paragraph 1?A. He was well-educated. B. He was a modest man.C. He was a gifted businessman. D. He was dishonest.22.What was Selfridges
17、 most impressive characteristic?A. The broad choice of goods. B. The large number of departments.C. The small group of guards. D. The well-trained sales guides.23.What is the main purpose of the article?A. To encourage shoppers to spend more. B. To introduce the history of Selfridges.C. To compare d
18、ifferent department stores. D. To explain how to start a department store.BPetrol cars may still dominate our roads, but their days are numbered. A recent university study found that current electric cars could be used for 87 per cent of daily car journeys in the US. That figure could rise to 98 per
19、 cent by 2020.One hurdle to the widespread adoption of electric cars has been “range anxiety”- drivers concerns about running out of juice on a journey. While petrol stations are conveniently located across national road systems, the necessary network of electric charging stations is still being dev
20、eloped. Charging points are becoming increasingly common throughout the USA.Attitudes towards electric vehicles have changed quite considerably over the last few years. Not that long ago, electric cars were met with distrust, and their large price tags drove customers away. Thanks to improvements in
21、 battery capacity, recharging times, performance and price, the current generation of electric cars are starting to persuade critics. Plug-in cars will soon give internal combustion engine models a run for their money.As well as advancements on the road, electric vehicles are taking to the seas and
22、skies. Electric boats are among the oldest methods of electric travel, having enjoyed several decades of popularity from the late 19th to the early 20th century before petrol-powered outboard motors took over. Now, the global drive for renewable energy sources is bringing electric boats back. Steps
23、towards electric air travel are also being made, with Airbus and NASA among the organizations developing and testing battery powered planes. The experiments could soon make commercial electric flight a reality.Electric vehicles do not produce any emissions. Were the US to act on the studys findings
24、and replace 87 per cent of its cars with electric vehicles, it would reduce the national demand for petrol by 61 per cent. However, because of the production processes and the generation of electricityrequired to charge these vehicles, they cannot claim to be completely emission-free. As many countr
25、ies continue to increase their use of renewable energy sources, electric vehicles will become even cleaner.24. Which is the best title for this passage?A. My Dream Car B. History of Electric CarsC. Problems with Petrol Cars D. Driving into the Future25. As used in Paragraph 2, the underlined word “h
26、urdle” means _A. aim B. consequence C. barrier D. step26. What is the function of Paragraph 4?A. To introduce the history of electric travel.B. To explain why the world needs more electric cars.C. To describe different ways electric vehicles can be used.D. To show why more people have interest in el
27、ectric cars.CWhat exactly is intelligence? There arent any easy answers. Despite the progress that has been made in genetics and psychology, human intelligence has remained one of the most controversial areas of modern science，until now, that is, for the discovery of a gene linked to intelligence ha
28、s made the experts think again.Robert Plomin of the Institute of Psychiatry in London and his colleagues in the US have been looking into genetic make-up. From their research, they have discovered that a slightly different gene is more common in those with a high IQ. Plomin analyzed DNA from two gro
29、ups of 51 children aged between 6 and 15. What he found was that the first group had an IQ of 136, putting them in the top 5% of the population, while the other group had an average IQ of 103. An analysis of their genes showed that 32% of children in the higher group had the gene in question, while
30、only 16% in the second group did. However, there is a lot more research to be done, and Plomin himself is cautious at this early stage. He suggests that there are probably many genes that contribute to intelligence, rather than just one.Several studies have shown a strong link between IQ and career
31、success, although some psychologists remain unconvinced about this. Professor Michael Rowe, who has written a book called Genius Explained, is one of these. “The people with the highest IQs are not usually the ones who do best in their careers.”Many psychologists now believe that when it comes to in
32、telligence, IQ isnt everything. Many alternative views have been put forward recently. One example is the idea of multiple intelligences, which was developed in the 1980s by Harvard psychologist Howard Gardner. This offers a much broader view than the IQ theory, including creativity and communicatio
33、n skills as relevant factors in intelligence.Tony Buzan, brain expert and author of Master your Memory, is enthusiastic about this belief, arguing that true geniuses do indeed appear to combine high levels of each type of intelligence. He lists Alexander the Great, Pablo Picasso and Albert Einstein
34、as examples. At the same time, Buzan believes that everyone can develop their intelligence, only if they take the trouble to exercise their brain. Perhaps theres hope for us all!27. What is the topic of the passage?A. The relationship between genes and intelligence. B. IQ benefits a lot from high in
35、telligence.C. What makes intelligence.D. How to develop intelligence.28. Why does the author use data in Paragraph 2?A. To make a suggestion. B. To prove an idea.C.To draw a conclusion.D. To give an example.29. What can we learn from the passage?A. Howard Gardner thinks intelligence includes various
36、 factors.B. Robert Plomin confirms genes have something in common. C. Michael Rowe approves of a strong link between IQ and career.D. Tony Buzan agrees geniuses exercise brain to improve intelligence.30. What does the underlined word “This” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. The development of intelligence.
37、 B. Alternative views have been put forward.C. IQ isnt everything for intelligence. D. The idea of multiple intelligences.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。E-waste is fast becoming a serious global problem. _31_The source of e-wasteWe live in a society that constantly pr

I had been picked to be the princess in the school play, and for weeks my mother had rehearsed my lines so hard with me. But no matter how easily I acted at home, as soon as I stepped onstage
60、, every word disappeared from my head. Finally, my teacher took me aside. She explained that she had written a narrators (旁白的) part to the play, and asked me to change roles.

I watched my mother casually bend down by one dandelion. “I think Im going to dig up all these weeds,” she said, “pulling it up by its roots. From now on, well have only roses in this garden.”“But I like dandelions,” I protested. “All flowers
63、are beautiful-even dandelions.”My mother looked at me seriously. “Yes, every flower gives pleasure in its own way, doesnt it?” She asked thoughtfully. I nodded, pleased that I had won her over. “And that is true of people too,” she added. “Not everyone can be a princess, but there is no shame in tha

80、merican agriculture，turning from raising crops to raising farm animals.The animals on a typical farm in Massachusetts in the early 1800s would not look quite the same as the ones in the 1980s.In those times settlers brought cattle and sheep with them to America from various parts of Europe.Because t
81、he settlers were busy building houses，clearing land and planting crops，they had little time to care for their animals and most of the younger ones were not strong enough to survive under hard conditions.As the animals grew，they provided the settlers with meat，milk and wool.That was all most 19thcentury farm families needed.And a little of the product could be traded for things they couldnt produce.Now the survival of farm animals has improved much.Feeding is more selective and specialized：some for meat，others for their milk and wool.
