　　12. D　每次听到(heard)有飞机飞过，她都会有更高的(higher)斗志。

　　13. B　参见上题解析。

　　14. C　她决定：如果我不能走，那我就去飞。上一段的最后一句和14空后的She learned to fly是答案提示。

　　15. A　她曾被警告说(warned)不能要孩子，但她却生了两个女儿(daughters)。

　　16. B　参见上题解析。根据have children及选项可知选B。

　　17. D　现在Shepherd在全国作演讲，鼓励人们不要放弃生活。这里用let go of表示“放开，放弃”。make fun of表示“取笑”，feel ashamed of表示“对……感到羞愧”，catch hold of表示“抓住”，都不符合语境。

　　18. C　从上下文可知，他们本来可能向病痛屈服，could have done表示“本来可能……”。

　　19. A　但他们并不愿意轻易地(easily)屈服。

　　20. B　他们不愿意在新的境况中还没有尝试就被击败，故用without。

　　.阅读理解

　　For several years Chinese have witnessed the growth of luxury brands.

　　In this market, Chinese consumers come second in the world, surpassed(超越) only by the Japanese.

　　Its clear that a young, materialistic(物质主义的) generation is increasingly relying on luxury brands for their self－image.

　　I am a fashionist too, at least in spirit. I love to look at clothes and shoes. But I dont understand why people spend lots of money on designer labels.

　　When a young woman buys a handbag that costs two months? salary, that?s a scary thing.

　　What?s ironic is that scientists have found that having luxury things doesn?t lead to happiness.

　　Study after study has shown that although we want material things, when we get them, we don?t suddenly become happy people.

　　In fact, a series of studies by Leaf Van Boven at the University of Colorado, the US, has shown that individuals who invest in travel and other experiences get more pleasure than those who invest in material things. That?s because experiences are more easily integrated(融入) into a persons identity. If I travel to Yunnan, that adventure affects how I think.

　　My memories become part of me.

　　Moreover, as Van Boven has observed, young people who seek happiness through things are liked less by their peers than young people who pursue happiness through experiences.

　　It?s natural to want to express yourself through your appearance. So my advice is, create a look that isn?t tied to a designer label.

　　Convey your own message. Take some lessons from Apple founder Steve Jobs, who was always in Levis jeans and a black turtleneck. Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook, who routinely appears in hoodies and sneakers.

　　These people, successful people, have style. You don?t have to break the bank to send a message about who you are.

　　Take a trip. Go out into the world. Then come back and confidently create your own signature look.

　　1. What can we know from the first paragraph?

　　A. Chinese consumers are the first in consuming luxuries.

　　B. Japanese consumers are the first in consuming luxuries.

　　C. All Chinese like luxury brands.

　　D. The Chinese consumers are to surpass the Japanese in luxury market.

　　2. Which of the following statements is TURE according to the passage?

　　A. Scientists have found that happiness doesn’t result from

　　having luxuries. B. Studies have shown that when we get material things,

　　we become happy people.

　　C. Individuals who invest in travel and other experiences get less pleasure than those who invest in material things.

　　D. Those successful people break the bank to send a message about who they are.

　　3. According to Van Boven’s observations, we can learn that________.

　　A. young people’s peers like young people who pursue happiness through things

　　B. young people’s peers like young people who pursue

　　happiness through experiences

　　C. young people are likely to pursue happiness through things

　　D. young people are likely to pursue happiness through experiences

　　4. What’s the author’s attitude toward people pursing luxuries?

　　A. Disapproving. B. Favorable.

　　C.

　　Non－committal(含糊的).

　　D. Neutral.答案：

　　文章分析了在中国一些年轻人追求名牌和奢侈品的现象，建议人们通过丰富自己的经历来获得幸福，标榜个性。

　　1. B细节理解题。从文章第一段的“In this market，Chinese consumers come second in the world, surpassed(超越)only by

　　the Japanese.”可知答案。

　　2. A正误判断题。从文章第五段的“scientists have found that having luxury things doesnt lead to happiness”可知答案。

　　3. B细节理解题。从第八段可知，比起通过丰富自己的经历来追求幸福的年轻人，通过追求物质来获得幸福的年轻人不太受同龄人的欢迎，故B正确。

　　4. A作者态度题。从文章第三段和最后三段可知，作者不赞成追求奢侈品。

　　.书面表达

　　假设你是李明，常常与英国网友Jim通信，以提高各自的外语水平。最近你收到他的电子邮件，他对现在网络热词“淘课”不太理解，还混淆了“淘课”与“逃课”。请根据下列要点，用英文回一封电子邮件。

　　1. 解释这两个词的区别；

　　2. 介绍“淘课”现在很受学生欢迎；

　　3. 谈谈“淘课”的作用。

　　(背景知识：现在在网上“淘课”已成为一种时尚，美国很多知名高校都纷纷在网上开课，满足全世界的求知欲。很多年轻白领不再像从前那样花钱参加各种培训班，而是到网上“淘课”，以此进行充电。许多学生也在课余时间“淘课”，自己喜欢什么课程，就淘什么课程，也不花什么钱，足不出户就可以大开眼界。)

　　注意：1. 词数为100左右；

　　2. 参考释义：逃课——be absent from some lectures；

　　淘课——search for some lectures；

　　3. 除以上两个词语外，邮件中不得使用其他汉字或拼音；

　　4. 电子邮件的开头和结尾已为你写好，不计入总词数。

　　Hi Jim，

　　Nice to read your e­mail today. I notice youve begun to pay much attention to Chinese learning.

　　范文：

　　Hi_Jim，

　　Nice to read your e­mail today. I notice you’ve begun to pay much attention to Chinese learning.

　　I found you are confused to the two words“逃课”and“淘课”. The former means being absent from some lectures that you need to attend and the latter means searching for some favorite lectures after class so that you can get more knowledge you want to know.

　　Nowadays, with many famous American universities giving their online lectures on the Internet, “淘课” is becoming more and more popular in China. Many students can have the chance to attend their favorite lectures given by the world­famous professors in their spare time. Besides, some white­collars don’t need to take some extra courses as usual. Instead, they can search for some useful online lectures to study, which can help to improve themselves.

　　Hope my explanations can help you and that you will make more progress in Chinese study.

　　Yours，

　　Li Ming
