My color television has given me nothing but a headache. I was able to buy it a little over a year ago because I had my relatives give me money for my birthday instead of a lot of clothes that wouldn’t fit. I let a salesclerk fool me into buying a discontinued model. I realized this a day later when I saw newspaper advertisements for the set at seventy-five dollars less than I had paid. The set worked so beautifully when I first got it home that I would keep it on until stations signed off for the night. Fortunately, I did not get any channels showing all-night movies or I would never have gotten to bed.

Then I started developing a problem with the set that involved static（静电）noise. For some reason, when certain shows switched into a commercial, a loud noise would sound for a few seconds. Gradually, this noise began to appear during a show, and to get rid of it, I had to change to another channel and then change it back. Sometimes this technique would not work, and I had to pick up the set and shake it to remove the sound. I actually began to build up my arm muscles(肌肉) shaking my set.

 When neither of these methods removed the static noise, I would sit helplessly and wait for the noise to go away. At last I ended up hitting the set with my fist, and it stopped working altogether. My trip to the repair shop cost me $ 62, and the set is working well now, but I keep expecting that it may be out of order again.

24. Why did the author say he was fooled into buying the TV set?

   A. He got an older model than he had expected.

B. He couldn’t return it when it was broken.

C. He could have bought it at a lower price.

D. He failed to find any movie shows on it.

25. Which of the following can best replace the underlined phrase “signed off” in Paragraph 1?

   A. ended all their programs   B. provided fewer channel

   C. changed to commercials   D. showed all-night movies

26. How did the author finally get his TV set working again?

   A. By shaking and hitting it.    B. By turning it on and off.

   C. By switching channels.    D. By having it repaired.

27. How does the author sound when telling the story?

   A. Curious.   B. Anxious.     C. Cautious.     D. Humorous.

C

Race walking shares many fitness benefits with running, research shows, while most likely contributing to fewer injuries. It does, however, have its own problem.

Race workers are conditioned athletes. The longest track and field event at the summer Olympics is the 50-kilometer race walk, which is about five miles longer than the Marathon. But the sports rules require that a race walker’s knees stay straight through most of the leg swing and one foot remain in contact（接触）with the ground at all times. It’s this strange form that makes race walking such an attractive activity, however, says Jaclyn Norberg, an assistant professor of exercise science at Salem State University in Salem, Mass.

Like running, race walking is physically demanding, she says. According to most calculation, race walkers moving at pace of six miles per hour would burn about 800 calories（卡路里）per hour, which is approximately twice as many as they would burn walking, although fewer than running, which would probably burn about 1,000 or more calories per hour.

However, race walking does not pound the body as much as running does, Dr. Norberg says. According to her research, runners hit the ground with as much as four times their body weight per step, while race walkers, who do not leave the ground, create only about 1.4 times their body weight with each step.

As a result, she says, some of the injuries associated with running, such as runner’s knee, are uncommon among race walkers. But the sport’s strange form does place considerable stress on the ankles and hips, so people with a history of such injuries might want to be cautious in adopting the sport. In fact, anyone wishing to try race walking should probably first consult a coach or experienced racer to learn proper technique, she says. It takes some practice.

28. Why are race walkers conditioned athletes?

   A. They must run longer distances.     

B. They are qualified for the Marathon.

C. They have to follow special rule.   

D. They are good at swinging their legs.

29. What advantage does race walking have over running?

A. It’s more popular at the Olympics.  

B. It’s less challenging physically.

C. Its more effective in body building.  

D. It’s less likely to cause knee injuries.

30. What is Dr. Norberg’s suggestion for someone trying race walking?

A. Getting experts’ opinions.      

B. Having a medical checkup.

C. Hiring an experienced coach.     

D. Doing regular exercises.

31. Which word best describes the author’s attitude to race walking?

A. Skeptical     B. Objective.     C. Tolerant.    D. Conservative.

D

To develop one’s sense in English, the most effective way is to read English books widely. Yet one may be at a loss to choose the suitable books, especially as a beginner. As a native Spanish, I would like to share some of my experiences.

My first English novel was Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, recommended by many English teachers and professors as an ideal book for English learners. But my experience was somewhat terrible. I had great difficulty in understanding the novel, let alone enjoying it. It’s not the vocabulary that troubled me, but rather the way Austen made sentences, and her way of thinking, which seemed too distant to me at that time. My fading enthusiasm（热情）was much recovered after reading Hemingway’s novel A Farewell to Arms. No long and complicated（复杂的）sentences. And I particularly liked his brief and simple style. So my first suggestion is, as a beginner, you’d better choose contemporary（当代的）novels instead of classical ones.

However, if you limit yourself to novels you will miss lots of treasures. English essays（散文）can at once inform you, interest you, and improve your sense in English. The best example is Bertrand Russell’s work. Its language is plain, yet you cannot help feeling the simplicity and the sense of humour. His simple language enables his philosophy within the reach of ordinary people. Here comes my second suggestion—essays are indispensable.

Never follow other’s recommendations and opinions blindly, however famous the persons might be. We should open to different ideas, but always think and decide for ourselves. As a saying goes, one man’s meat is another man’s poison. With that in mind, we are sure to find out our favourite writers through reading and develop our fine sense in English.

32. What made the first English novel that the author read hard to understand?

 A. Complicated conversations.   

B. Sentence-making and thinking patterns.

 C. The old-fashioned vocabulary.   

D. Not knowing the social background.

33. Which can best replace the underlined word “indispensable”?

 A. Necessary.   B. Challenging.    C. Expert.    D. Responsible.

34. What advice does the author give in the last paragraph?

 A. Choose books that challenge us most. 

B. Read books that are amazing.

 C. Don’t be affected by others’ choices. 

D. Compare books before buying.

35. What is the author’s purpose of writing the passage?

 A. To give comments on literature works.

 B. To tell beginners how to choose English books.

 C. To encourage people to read more English books.

 D. To recommend first-class books to English learners.

第二节：七选五（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。

Why do people travel? There are many reasons one can think of when asked questions like this.

To travel far enough to meet yourself

Sometimes you find yourself in the middle of nowhere.   36   You find out your abilities. When you are offered a different lifestyle, you can find out what you are made of. The farther you go from your home, the nearer you come to your true self.

  37  

If you look back at all the amazing memories of your life, you will realise that most of them were out of your comfort zone. Travelling is dangerous, full of life-threatening possibilities and will not always be comfortable, but at the same time, it gives irreplaceable memories.

To slow down and relax

A wise man once said that never get so busy making a living that you forget to make a life. Money is worth nothing if you cannot spend it on a little adventure. While we are deeply involved in making money, we forget that time is going through our fingers.   38   The feeling of being away from your workplace is pure happiness. The feeling of not having to worry about the never-ending piles of files is pure joy.    39 

To celebrate life

Life is short and the world is wide. One day you might wake up and realise that you don’t have time to do everything that you have always wanted to do anymore. Once in a while, make time to appreciate the fact that you are alive, young, free and healthy.   40 

A. To become a storyteller

B. Travelling lets you discover yourself.

C. To break through your comfort zone

D. So, go travelling to celebrate life itself.

E. You can relate to the world and connect to others.

F. And the feeling of being away from your boss for a few days is pure pleasure.

G. Escape life for a little while because experience is far more valuable than money.

The journey my daughter Cathy has had with her swimming is as long as it is beautiful.
