17、 popular magazine. C. A physics textbook. D. A product handbook. BTwo of the saddest words in the English language are “if only”. I live my life with the goal of never having to say those words, because they convey regret, lost opportunities, mistakes, and disappointment. My father is famous in our
18、family for saying, “Take the extra minute to do it right.” I always try to live by the “extra minute” rule. When my children were young and likely to cause accidents, I always thought about what I could do to avoid an “if only” moment, whether it was something minor like moving a cup full of hot cof
19、fee away from the edge of a counter, or something that required a little more work such as taping padding (衬垫) onto the sharp corners of a glass coffee table. I dont only avoid those “if only” moments when it comes to safety. Its equally important to avoid “if only” in our personal relationships. We
20、 all know people who lost a loved one and regretted that they had foregone an opportunity to say “I love you” or “I forgive you.” When my father announced he was going to the eye doctor across from my office on Good Friday, I told him that it was a holiday for my company and I wouldnt be here.

22、ely better because of my policy of doing everything possible to avoid that eventuality. And even though it takes an extra minute to do something right, or it occasionally takes an hour or two in my busy schedule to make a personal connection, I know that Im doing the right thing.

26、pers are among the oldest and most famous in the world. But recently big changes have seen these traditional publications try to fit the modern world. After 221 years, The Times has changed its size to become much smaller. In fact, the paper has cut its size in half from a broadsheet to tabloid (小报)
27、. In Britain the newspaper market is divided between the larger broadsheets and the smaller tabloids. These terms refer to the size of the papers pages but there is also a clear difference in content. Broadsheets such as The Times, the Guardian and Daily Telegraph are serious papers. They cover a br
28、oad range of political, economic and international issues. Their stories are also reasonably long and use quite formal language. Tabloids have far more stories about less serious issues such as celebrities (名人) love lives. Their stories are shorter and use more simple language. Tabloids often have b
29、igger pictures. Britains best-selling newspaper, the Sun, is a tabloid and has a naked girl on Page Three every day. By changing to the size of a tabloid, The Times is following in the footsteps of a less famous broadsheet paper the Independent . It changed to tabloid last year and saw its sales inc
30、rease greatly. Although both papers have switched to the smaller size the content of the papers has remained the same. They are both still serious papers. The two papers claim that people find the smaller size easier to handle when they travel to work on the bus or the train in the morning. Instead
31、of calling the new style of their paper tabloid, the paper says its new size is “compact” (紧凑型).28Which of the following statements can best describe broadsheets and tabloid?ABroadsheets are larger in size while tabloids are smaller.BTabloids are less serious than broadsheets.CBroadsheets contain mo
32、re news than tabloids.DThey are different in size, content and the style of language.29 Which of the following newspapers would you read if you are interested in lives of film stars ?AThe Sun BThe Times CThe Independent DThe Guardian30 According to the passage we can infer the main reason for The Ti
33、mes changing into the tabloid is that_.Ait wants to become convenient for people to carry.Bit wants to increase its circulation (发行量)Cit intends to copy what The Independent has doneDit is unlikely to stay in business if it does not change31Which of the following statements is true according to the
34、given information?AThere are more tabloids than broadsheets in Britain at present.BAfter the change, there will be no differences between The Sun and The Times.CAlthough The Times has cutits size, it remains a serious paper.DAll the papers will tend to have the same style in the future.D Do you like
35、 shopping? Or does the thought of wandering round the shops fill you with terror? For some of us, shopping is an enjoyable way of spending our spare time and our money. For me, its something I would rather avoid. Thank goodness for the Internet! Its more convenient to buy CDs, electrical items, and
36、even food from the comfort of your sofa. But thats not the only reason: price is an important factor. We can buy goods and services cheaper online. But sometimes the problem is knowing what to buy. This has led to a type of shopping called “showrooming”.Showrooming is something Ive done. I will go t
37、o a shop to see, touch and try out products but then go home and buy them online at a knock-down price. Im not alone in doing this. Research by a company called Foolproof found 24% of the people showroomed while Christmas shopping in 2013. Amy Cashman, Head of Technology at TNS UK, says the reasons
38、for this new shopping habit are that people are lacking time, lacking money and they want security about the products they are buying. She explains that consumers are not only shopping online at home but they are using the Internet in store or on their smartphones to shop around. But does this mean
39、technology will kill shops? Certainly shops will change. They will have to offer more competitive prices or encourage people to buy more by giving in-store discounts or free gifts.We mustnt forget that buying in a shop means you can get expert advice from the sales assistant and you can get good aft
40、ercare. Its good to speak to a real human rather than look at a faceless computer screen, but at least by showrooming, you get the best of both worlds. 32. The two questions in Paragragh 1 are raised to _. A. introduce the topic B. give two examples C. compare different opinions D. get answers from
41、readers33. What does showrooming mean in the text? A. Trying in shops and buying online B. Showing products in a room C. Buying something in a store D. Shopping on the Internet34. According to Amy Cashman, which is NOT the reason for showrooming? A. The lack of time B. The comfort of the sofa C. The
42、 lack of money D. The security of the product 35. What can be inferred from Paragragh 4? A. Online shops will disappear. B. Free gifts will surely promote sales. C. Shops need necessary changes. D. Shops will be replaced by online shops. 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
