However, I have got to say Stay With Me wasnt my favorite in this series, but I still really enjoyed it and I would absolutely recommend it to
22、 fans interested in the world of young adults.Stay With Me is the third book in Jennifers Wait For You series, which features a couple that have been in previous books but have their own unique story and can be read as a standalone. I like that about this series. Its nice to be able to pick up a boo
23、k and read it, finish it and move on to the next, but the Wait For You series has the added bonus of a more deeper character connection, as theyve appeared previously, you have more of a feel for them and you look forward to their story. Stay With Me is Calla and Jaxs story. Calla has a wreck(严重受损的人
24、) of a mother, but she is finally coming to the end of college and is looking forward to a career in nursing. She has done pretty well up for herself and now it was her time to shine. Unluckily, it falls through when her mother robbed her of every penny and took her identity. Calla has to go back to
25、 her small home town and into the arms of Jax. Jax is handsome and cheerful! He is a waiter in a bar and knows Callas mother very well and he agrees to help Calla. He is true alpha, with a sweet side and is very protective of Calla. I loved him, but not as much as Cam, sorry Jax! And thats why Stay
26、with Me isnt as good as Cams book, Wait for You. Dont get me wrong. Jax is an incredibly great character, well fleshed out and I did care for him, but he just wasnt as lovely as Cam. As for Calla, I liked her character, and I liked the connection between her and Jax. I loved how he came out of his s
27、hell and showed her to love herself, despite her unsatisfactory past. There are a lot of intense moments between these two characters and they are so well written. Jennifers writing is addictive and she wrote the scenes between Jax and Calla beautifully. Calla has never been, what she would call boy
28、friend material, and so she struggles to see what Jax sees in her and she bats him off and ignores it. Theres a lot of push and pull between them, and its very charming. At times I did get a little annoyed with Calla, especially with her insecurity but Jax soon made up for that! Overall I really enj
29、oyed Stay with Me. Anyway, they are a wonderful pair together. Despite all the troubles that Calla was going through, their relationship seemed more realistic and was made to last.41Who would like to read Stay with me most?A. Adults.B. Young adults.C. Fans of young adults.D. Parents.42The author sho
30、ws a preference for Calla by _.A. analyzing some plots from the bookB. comparing her with Jax C. stating what Jax did to herD. presenting her sad past 43The underlined expression “came out of his shell” probably means _.A. fell in love with othersB. expressed his ideasC. left his home townD. overcam
31、e the difficulties44The authors overall attitude towards Stay With Me is _.A. Unclear B. NegativeC. Indifferent D. Positive45What style does the passage belong to?A. An essay. B. A novel.C. A review.D. A debate.BNowadays, Chinese love to consume TV shows, particularly American TV shows. Some shows h
32、ave become especially popular for certain reasons. When you meet Chinese people, try to mention these shows to strike up a conversation with them, as it is likely that they are fans of these shows.1. The Big Bang TheoryTalk to any young Chinese person, and chances are that they are crazy about the l
33、ives of Sheldon, Raj, Howard, and Leonard. Many viewers describe themselves as in love with Sheldon, and they appreciate the science jokes and content on the show. People admire the young geniuses on the show and the large amount of funny jokes, but also recognizes the shows message that being smart
34、 isnt everything in life. The university lifestyle depicted on the show and the friendships and witty arguments between the main characters are especially attractive to Chinese audiences.2. House of CardsChina is ridding itself of corruption(腐败) today. Its no surprise, then, that a thrilling and bri
35、lliant drama about political corruption currently catches on in China. China is the top country where the show is being wildly pirated(盗版) on Chinese websites. The Chinese government has also featured prominently on the show. Even high-ranking Chinese political officials have been known to watch rel
36、igiously this show and keep up with the exploits of Frank Underwood. Some Chinese politicians consider Underwood as a role model, fans create special videos to honor the show, and many viewers like to learn about American politics and society from the show, even though what they learn from the show
37、may not be totally accurate. Its interesting to wonder what a Chinese version of this show would be like.3. Gossip GirlChina has become much wealthier in the last several decades, and people across the world always like to observe rich peoples lives and imagine themselves being rich as well. Like th
38、e Chinese movie series Tiny Times, Gossip Girl rose to fame in China because Chinese viewers enjoyed watching the lives of rich Westerners and living wealthily through the characters. Many Chinese fans also admired the romance between Chuck and Blair, and strongly supported them getting married. The
39、 show is full of passionate love affairs, pleasant young people, and brilliant drama that fascinated Chinese audiences.4. Two Broke GirlsMany young Chinese viewers like following the struggles of Max and Caroline as they attempt to earn money and build their own cupcake business. This show has becom
40、e extremely popular in China and is frequently downloaded online. One reason why this sitcom has been successful in China is that for many Chinese who are young like Max and Caroline, they must deal with the same problems in life. Finding work and earning enough money to join the middle class is dif
41、ficult for many Chinese people today. The Chinese TV show WoJu (蜗居) shows a family working to save money for an apartment and dealing with many situations caused by poverty, wealth, and greed. Young Chinese work extremely hard to earn enough money to buy cars, homes, and find someone to marry, and t
42、hey can easily sympathize with characters living in poverty and working towards similar goals.46Para 1 suggests that _.A. China has been open to America B. American movie industry develops wellC. American shows are very popular in ChinaD. Chinese enjoy talking about American shows47Viewers strugglin
43、g for life probably sympathize with characters by watching _.A. The Big Bang Theory B. House of CardsC. Gossip Girl D. Two Broke Girls48Which of the following is NOT right?A. The Big Bang Theory tries to convey that being smart means everything.B. House of Cards is pirated more in China than other c
44、ountries.C. Gossip Girl and Tiny Times have a similar theme.D. Two Broke Girls tells about a story of struggling for a better life.49The underlined word “depicted” means _.A. learned B. describedC. made D. acceptedCRobots are common in todays world. They manufacture cars, work in space, explore ocea
45、ns, clean up oil spills and investigate dangerous environments. And now, scientists at the University of Manchester are using a robot as a laboratory partner.The researchers at the university created the robot in 2009 and named it Adam. Despite the name, Adam is not a humanoid robot. It is about the
46、 size of a car.Adam was built to do science and make discoveries. Ross King is the leader of the University of Manchester research team. He says the robot made a discovery about yeast（酵母）, a kind of fungus used in science as a model for human cells.“Adam hypothesized certain functions of genes withi
47、n yeast and experimentally tested these hypothesizes and confirmed them. So it both hypothesized and confirmed new scientific knowledge.”Adams success as a scientist led to the creation of another robot scientist named Eve. Researchers developed Eve to design and test drugs for tropical and neglecte
48、d diseases. These diseases kill and infect millions of people each year.Drug development is slow and costly. Experts say it can take more than 10 years and about $1 billion to discover and develop new medicines. Drug manufacturers are unlikely to get their investment money back.So the University of
49、Manchester developed a low-cost test that shows whether or not a chemical is likely to be made into an effective medicine. Mr. King says that other drug testing methods were not very effective.“How it works conventionally is you use robotics(机器人技术) as well and you have a large collection of possible
50、 drugs. You test every single compound(复合物). And you start at the beginning of your library and continue until the end, and stop. So its not a very intelligent process. The robotics doesnt learn anything as it goes along, even if its tested a million compounds, it still doesnt have any expectation o
51、f what will happen next when it tests a new compound.”Mr. King says that Eve is different because the robot learns as it tests different compounds. He says the robot is designed to ignore compounds that it thinks unlikely to be good. It will only test the compounds which have a good chance of workin
52、g.Eve has discovered that a compound known to be effective against cancer might also be used to fight against malaria and other tropical diseases.Mr. King says he hopes to completely automate the drug testing process with robots like Eve to create and test new chemicals. But he says humans remain in
53、 control of the manufacturing process.50Adam can do all the following EXCEPT _.A. making discoveries B. working in space C. helping researchersD. doing scientific research51The underlined word “hypothesized” probably means _.A. learned B. guessed C. discovered D. created52The development of new drug
54、s is slow because _.a. It takes long to test new drugs.b. It takes long to produce new drugs.c. New drugs are less effective.d. It takes long to profit from new drugs.e. Conventional testing methods dont work well.A. abcB. bcdC. cdeD. ade53Eve has an advantage of _.A. testing a million compound at a
55、 timeB. controlling the manufacturing the processC. expecting what will happen while testing drugsD. making scientific research54What might be the best title for the passage?A. Robot Scientist Helps Design New DrugsB. Adamthe Smart RobotC. New Methods to Test DrugsD. Scientists Develop Humanoid Robo
56、tsDMy trip with my sister and my daughter to Manhattan wedding gown(长袍，长外衣) shop, cannot be understood without further focusing on Marina, my 14-year-old daughter Ive asked to try on dresses.This was the girl I took to Kleinfeld, the fancy store featured on the television program “Say Yes to the Dre
57、ss”. As the trip approached, I asked Marina if she was excited. “Sure, Mom.” shed say, shrugging. Marina was more excited about getting a tattoo(文身) on her ankle to represent my fight with ALS(肌萎缩性脊髓侧索硬化症) than trying on $ 10,000 wedding gowns.My sister, Stephanie, had arranged for a car with a whee
58、lchair lift to drive us from the hotel to Kleinfeld. The car driver wheeled me in.At Kleinfeld with flower arrangements ten feet high, I felt like rolling into a dream. “Wow!” I said. I was wearing a new black outfit. Marina wore jean shorts, a sleeveless(无袖的) shirt, and sneakers. She stood with her
59、 hands crossed over her chest, like this was the last place on the planet she wanted to be. The kind Kleinfeld ladies pointed out rooms like tour guides, naming the designers one by one on display: Alita Grham, Pnina Tornai With Marina walking beside me, Stephanie pushed my chair up and down rows an
60、d rows of dresses that made Princess Dianas dress look modest.Marina didnt say a word. We turned a corner into the storage room, where hundreds of dresses hung in plastic protector sleeves. Marina and I were overwhelmed.“Want to try one on ?” I said, touching Marinas hand.“OK,” Marina said in her sh
61、arp, unsure voice.“Tell them the style youd like.”Marina stood silent. I felt bad for bringing her, for forcing such an adult experience on a child. Marina picked an A-line dress. Or, more precisely, the ladies of Kleinfeld picked it for her. Marina was too shocked to do more than nod. As she took t
62、he gown into the dressing room, I tried not to think of my little girl on her wedding day or of her as a baby in my arms. I tried not to think of her with her own baby in her arms one day.I tried not to think of Marina right now, embarrassed by her mothers plans, by things she could not and should n
63、ot yet understand.I am leaving money in my will for Marinas wedding dress. Stephanie has promised to bring her back to Kleinfeld to purchase it.“No pure white!” I said to Stephanie. “Ivory. Not too much tulle(薄纱). Think lace.”“Think royalty when picking a dress,” I advised Steph as we waited outside
64、 the dressing room. “Think Princes Kate. Elegant. Think long sleeves. They make dresses more formal.”Marina came out, sleeveless, flared(下摆宽大的). She looked like a 14-year-old girl in the middle of a giant cupcake.“I dont like the loose gown.” she said.Thats my girl!“How about trying on one with long
65、 sleeves?” I asked her.The ladies brought out a dress with long lace sleeves, an Empire collar, a ruched(有褶饰的) fitted waist, and a long, smooth silk skirt.Marina disappeared into the dressing room. When the door opened, she looked a foot taller and a decade older. I could clearly see the beautiful w
66、oman she will be one day. I simply stared.What do you do when you glimpse a moment you will not live to see?I dipped my head. Breathe, I told myself. I looked up. I smiled. Marina smiled back.I worked my tongue into position to speak. “I like it,” I said.In that dress, Marina stood straight, shining
67、 brightly, and tall.“You are beautiful,” I whispered, my tongue barely cooperating. I dont know if she heard me. We took some photos. And moved on. A memory made.55Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. The mother made the payment for the wedding gown for her daughter
68、on the spot.B. The mother was disabled and unable to move around without a wheelchair.C. The daughter well understood why she was asked to try on wedding gowns.D. The mother thought pure white is more suitable for her daughter on the wedding.56According to the story, we can conclude that Marina _.A.
69、 finally picked out her favorite wedding gown herself after careful selectionB. amazingly grew taller and older after wearing her new wedding gownC. was a different girl who liked marking pictures on skin to show her uniquenessD. was more concerned about her mother than trying on new wedding gowns57

Improper body language results from nervousness B. Body movement should command attentionC. Use images with
74、 a few words for notesD. Make a video of the presentation E. Make quick improvementF. Try to gesture naturallyImprove the Public Speaking With Body Language A successful public speaker does not only focus on what to say, but the physical message of presentation. Some call this “body language.” It in
75、cludes posture, eye contact and gestures - how you move your hands or arms. Charles LeBeau, a professor of public speaking tells about how to do it well.61. _. Presenters may not feel at ease because theyre doing a presentation. They may worry about their poor English, and their lack of confidence.
76、Theyre trying to figure out the grammar and what to say. Theyre having all kinds of difficulty doing presentation, and also controlling their body. They may move from side to side. Besides, its not a good idea for a presenter to stand perfectly still. In fact an audience can lose interest in a speak
77、er who does not move. 62. _. With posture, the typical problem is that they are often moving back and forth, and theyre not facing the audience. They dont catch the audiences attention. They are only trying to talk from notes, facing the white board or the screen with slides rather than talking to t
78、he audience. Same thing with eye contact. Besides, some experts advise moving your body to a different place for each idea. Stay in place until you finish making that point. Then move to the next place on the stage or in the room.63. _. Images should help communicate the point you want to make. Writ
79、ing a few words with the image on your slide instead of sentences helps you remember that point. If you can figure out what images to use that will communicate your message, because the images will communicate faster and more clearly than words. Then you can look at the audience while speaking.64. _
80、. Holding on to notes makes it more difficult for a speaker to have a proper gesture. Mr. LeBeaus book, “Speaking of Speech,” discusses this. He says gestures should support the point the speaker is making. For example, when talking about three ideas, hold up three fingers to introduce them. Then ho
81、ld up one finger while explaining the first idea, two fingers for the second, and so on.65. _. It can help you see from a different angle, you may clearly see: “Oh, My! I had no idea that I looked like that! My posture! Im moving all over the place. Look at my hips. Its going back and forth and back
82、 and forth. And my eye contact! All of these other goofy things that Im doing without noticing it, or thinking that well, its not such a big deal. Once you see what you are doing, you may change more quickly. So you can do your presentation again, and work on changing, then you can compare, and see
83、that you can make quick improvement.An important part of public speaking is practice. When you practice remember these important tips: Be aware of your posture, eye contact, and gestures. Record yourself using a phone, tablet, or camera. Watch yourself and plan what you will do to improve.非选择题部分（共40
