Neill Park vs Robinson and Eastside Central vs Light Hill D. St Matins vs Doonsberg and Northerners vs TigersBI’m a real book lover. Every time my friends visit me, my nose is buried in a book. Wherever I go, I always have a book with me. Novels, history books, stories about people, journals and news—I read them all and I’ve learnt a lot, too. For example, many things in life happen for the best even if we don’t like or understand them. Why is reading such an enjoyable pastime for me? I probably first learned about it from my parents. My mother read to me at night in my childhood and bought me picture books. The greatest gift she has given me is a love for reading. And it will be a life-long habit. No one ever asked me why I liked to read. They just saw me and asked, “Oh? Is that for school work?” And I just shook my head, “No. It’s just for fun.” While reading a good book, I can totally forget myself and fly to another world. It’s like exploring through someone’s eyes, which is just as exciting as watching a movie. Reading is also necessary in order to learn about writing, to improve my use of words and phrases and broaden my knowledge. What a pity to see our imagination disappear, for we don’t exercise it often. Reading can even be good for one’s health, I think. Everyone should read sad stories that make us cry and also books with humor that make us laugh out loud!4. Among the gifts my parents have given me, which is the most valuable one?A. A love for reading. B. Picture books.C. Good health. D. A lovable pastime.5. In the fourth paragraph, the author thinks reading can ____. A. make his parents happy B. finish his school workC. improve writing and broaden knowledge D. help him understand some movies6. If we don’t use our imagination often, ____. A. it is bad for our health B. we will soon learn how to writeC. it will help us to have a good rest D. it will soon disappear 7. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. Why do I have few friends? B. What are my life habits?C. Why do I love reading? D. Why do things happen for the best?CDo you like 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, it's something I would rather avoid. Thank goodness for the Internet! It's more convenient to buy CDs, electrical items, and even food from the comfort of your sofa. But that's 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 I've done. I will go to a shop to see, touch and try out products but then go home and buy them online at a knock-down price. I'm not alone in doing this. Research by a company called Foolproof found 24% of the people showroomed at Christmas in 2013.Amy Cashman, Head of Technology at TNS UK, says the reasons 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 smart phones to shop around.But does this mean 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 mustn't forget that buying in a shop means you can get expert advice from the sales assistant and you can get good aftercare. It's 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.8. The two questions in Paragraph 1 are raised to ________.A. introduce the topic  B. give two examples C. compare different opinions  D. get answers from readers9. 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 Internet.10. According to Amy Cashman, which is NOT the reason for showrooming?A. The lack of time.  B. The comfort of the sofa.C. The lack of money.  D. The security of the product.11. What can be inferred from Paragraph 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.DTom goes everywhere with Catherine Green, a 54-year-old secretary. He moves around her office at work and goes shopping with her. "Most people don't seem to mind Tom," says Catherine, who thinks he is wonderful. "He's my fourth child," she says. She may think of him and treat him that way as her son, buying his food, paying his health bills and his taxes, but in fact Tom is a dog.    Catherine and Tom live in Sweden, a country where everyone is expected to lead an orderly life according to rules laid down by the government, which also provides a high level of care for its people. This level of care costs money.    People in Sweden pay taxes on everything, so aren't surprised to find that owning a dog means yet more taxes. Some people are paying as much as 500 Swedish kronor in taxes a year for the right to keep their dog, money that is spent by the government on dog hospitals and sometimes medical treatment for a dog that falls ill. However, most such treatment is expensive, so owners often decide to offer health and even life premium for their dog.    In Sweden dog owners must pay for any damage their dog does. A Swedish Kennel Club official explains what this means: if your dog runs out on the road and gets hit by a passing car you, as the owner, have to pay for any damage done to the car, even if your dog has been killed in the accident.12. The money paid as dog taxes is used to ________.A. provide medical care for dogs B. pay for damage done by dogsC. keep a high level of care for the people D. buy insurance for dog owners13. The underlined world “premium” possibly means ________.A. entertainment expense B. medical check C. payment for risks D. protection fee14. If a dog causes a car accident and gets killed, who should pay for the damage done to the car? .A. The government B. The owner of the car C. The insurance company D. The owner of the dog 15. From the text it can be inferred that in Sweden ________.A. people care much about dogs B. keeping dogs means asking for troubleC. many car accidents are caused by dogs D. dogs are welcome in public places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中的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Health is the most important thing in the world. Nothing is more important than health. If we take away our money, houses, or even our clothes, we can still survive. 16    That is why we always try to eat in a healthy way and exercise regularly. How can we keep healthy? In order to eat healthily, I usually avoid eating food high in fat, like French fries or cookies, which are junk food. 17  I eat a lot of vegetables and fresh fruit which are full of vitamins. 18  Taking exercise every day helps us build a strong body. Regular exercise is an important part of keeping me healthy.What’s more, I think friends are an important part of one’s health. 19 I always feel better when I am with friends than I am alone. When I am with friends, I always laugh .Laughing is also an important part of health. It's good to stay with my friends. By eating properly and exercising regularly, I can keep my mind as well as my body happy. These things sound easy to do, but not many people can manage them. 20 A. I only eat little meat. B. On the other hand, doing exercise is very important.C. There are some people who like staying alone, but they keep healthy.D. Many students show that people with a wide range of social contact don’t get sick.E. But if our health was taken away, it is certain that we would surely die.F. I think a strong will is necessary if want to keep healthy. G. Some people appear fat because they often eat too much.第二部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A，B，C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。  A blind man walks into a restaurant.
