Good morning. This is Danny Jackson with weather watch，brought to you every day at this time by the Austin Chamber of Commerce. The weeklong extended forecast for Austin and the Texas Hills calls for mostly sunny weather today and Tuesday， with temperatures in the high seventies. By Wednesday， a cold pressure area that has been building up over the Gulf of Mexico should begin to move inland over Texas， bringing about a tendegree drop in temperature over the south central part of the state. By Wednesday night， that same low pressure should probably be dropping rain over the Austin area， with rain continuing into Thursday and possibly even early Friday. By Friday afternoon though， if all goes well， we should begin to see clear skies again， with a corresponding rise in temperature back into the seventies. Saturday and Sunday look like they'll be just beautiful. Danny Jackson with weather watch. Have a good week， Austin.
18. On what day will you probably hear this weather forecast?
A. On Saturday morning.
B. On Sunday morning.

答案：C

第二部分 阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)
第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
A
[2014·陕西宝鸡期末] As a professor at a large American university, there is a phrase that I hear often from students: “I'm only a 1050.”The unlucky students are speaking of the score on the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT), which is used to determine whether they will be admitted to the college or university of their choice, or even have a chance to get a higher education at all. The SAT score, whether it is 800, 1,100 or 1,550, has become the focus at this time of their life.
It is obvious that if students value highly their test scores, then a great amount of their self－respect is put in the number. Students who perform poorly on the exam are left feeling that it is all over. The low test score, they think, will make it impossible for them to get into a good college. And without a degree from a prestigious_university,_they fear that many of life's doors will remain forever closed.
According to a study done in the 1990s, the SAT is only a reliable indicator(指示物) of a student's future performance in most cases. Interestingly, it becomes much more accurate when it is set together with other indicators－like a student's high school grades. Even if standardized tests like the SAT could show a student's academic proficiency(学业水平), they will never be able to test things like confidence, efforts and willpower, and are unable to give us the full picture of a student's potentialities(潜力). This is not to suggest that we should stop using SAT scores in our college admission process. The SAT is an excellent test in many ways, and the score is still a useful means of testing students. However, it should be only one of many methods used.
本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了美国SAT考试的相关情况以及它对学生的影响。
21. The purpose of the SAT is to test students'________.
A. strong will
B. academic ability
C. full potentialities
D. confidence in school work
答案：B 本题考查细节理解。根据第一段中的“...which is used to determine whether they will be admitted to the college or university of their choice, or even have a chance to get a higher education at all.”和第三段的内容可知，SAT考试的目的是考查学生的学术能力。故B项正确。
22. Students' self－respect is influenced by their________.
A. scores in the SAT
B. achievements in mathematic
C. job opportunities
D. money spent on education
答案：A 本题考查细节理解。根据第二段第一句“It is obvious that if students value highly their test scores, then a great amount of their self－respect is put in the number.”可知，学生的自尊受他们在SAT考试中成绩的影响。故A项正确。
23. “A prestigious university” is most probably ________.
A. a famous university
B. a technical university
C. a traditional university
D. an expensive university
答案：A 本题考查词义猜测。联系语境可知，没有一个名牌大学的学位，他们会觉得许多生活的大门将永远对他们保持关闭状态。故A项正确。
24. This passage is mainly about ________.
A. how to prepare for the SAT
B. stress caused by the SAT
C. American higher education
D. the SAT and its effects
答案：D 本题考查主旨大意。本文主要介绍了SAT考试的有关情况和它对学生的影响。故D项正确。
B
Every year thousands of tourists visit Pompeii, Italy. They see the sights that Pompeii is famous for its stadium (运动场) and theatres, its shops and restaurants. The tourists do not, however, see Pompeii's people. They do not see them because Pompeii has no people. No one has lived in Pompeii for almost 2,000 years.
Once, Pompeii was a busy city of 22,000 people. It lay at the foot of Mount Vesuvius, a grass－covered volcano (火山). Mount Vesuvius had not erupted (喷发) for centuries, so the people of Pompeii felt safe. But they were not.
In August of AD 79, Mount Vesuvius erupted. The entire top of the mountain exploded, and a huge black cloud rose into the air. Soon stones and hot ash began to fall on Pompeii. When the eruption ended two days later, Pompeii was buried under 20 feet of stones and ash. Almost all of its people were dead.
For centuries, Pompeii lay buried under stones and ash. Then, in the year 1861, an Italian scientist named Ginseppe began to uncover Pompeii. Slowly, carefully, Ginseppe and his men dug. The city looked almost the same as it had looked in AD 79. There were streets and fountains, houses and shops. There was a stadium with 20,000 seats. Perhaps the most importantly of all, there were everyday objects, which told us a great deal about the people who lived in Pompeii. Many glasses and jars had some dark blue color in the bottom, so we know that the people of Pompeii liked wine. They liked bread, too; metal bread pans were in every bakery. In one bakery there were 81 round, flat loaves of bread－a type of bread that is still sold in Italy today. Tiny boxes filled with a dark, shiny powder tell us that women liked to wear eye－makeup.
sGinseppe has died, but his work continues. One－fourth has not been uncovered yet. Scientists are still digging, still making discoveries that draw the tourists to Pompeii.
本文主要讲述了每年成千上万的游客参观Pompeii的目的。
25. Why do large numbers of people come to Pompeii each year?
A. To visit the volcano.
B. To shop and eat there.
C. To watch sports and plays.
D. To see how Pompeiians lived.
答案：D 推理判断题。原文没有直接说出参观者到Pompeii的目的。通读全文可知，Pompeii是一座被火山吞没的城市。由于火山突然喷发，人们来不及逃避，而保留了当时人们生活的遗迹。所以参观者来的目的是看一看Pompeiians当时是如何生活的。但如果只注意到短文第一段最后一句话No one has lived in Pompeii for almost 2,000 years.和后面提到的volcano一词，容易错误地选择A项。
26. Why had so many Pompeiians remained by volcanic Mount Vesuvius?
A. The city nearby offered all kinds of fun.
B. The area produced the finest wine in Italy.
C. Few people expected the volcano to erupt again.
D. The mountain was beautiful and covered with grass.
答案：C 推理判断题。从第二段后两句话Mount Vesuvius had not erupted for centuries, so the people of Pompeii felt safe. But they were not.可以得出结论，几乎没有人想到火山会重新喷发。
27. Why did the city uncovered look almost the same as it had looked in AD 79?
A. Because Ginseppe and his men dug it slowly and carefully.
B. Because the city was buried alive and remained untouched.
C. Because scientists successfully rebuilt the city with everyday objects.
D. Because nobody had lived in the city ever since the volcano erupted.
答案：B 细节理解题。从第二、三段可知，Pompeii位于Mount Vesuvius山脚下，Mount Vesuvius是一座火山，但有多个世纪没有喷发了。人们以为它不会再喷发，但是，在公元79年8月，火山突然喷发，整个城市被埋葬在石头和灰尘下。由于火山突然喷发，人们在毫无准备的情况下被埋葬了，所以保留了当时全部的情景。
C
Researchers have found a village that may have been home to the builders of Stonehenge. The mysterious circular stone monument in England. The village of small houses dates back to about 2,600 B．C. That's about the same time Stonehenge was built. “Clearly, this is a place that was of enormous importance，” said researcher Mike Parker Pearson.
The ancient houses are at a site known as Durrington Walls, about two miles from Stonehenge. Researchers believe Stonehenge was a memorial site or cemetery for the villagers. The village also had a wooden version of the stone circle. It may have been used by people attending festivals at Stonehenge.
Eight of the houses have been excavated, or dug up. Researchers say there may be as many as 25 of them. The wooden houses were square and about 14 feet along each side. There are signs of bed frames along the walls and of a dresser or storage unit. The houses also had fireplaces.
Two of the houses were separate from the others and may have been the homes of community leaders. Researchers say those sites didn't have the debris and household trash that was found in the other homes. Stone tools, animal bones, arrowheads and other artifacts were found throughout the village site.
Stonehenge is a popular tourist spot in England. It is a huge circle made out of stones, which were placed in a grass field in southern England. The stone arches were made with two stones at the bottom and one across the top. All of the stones weigh a lot more than a big car. Scientists have long wondered not only how people built Stonehenge, but also why.
28. The passage is mainly about________.
A. researchers working at Stonehenge
B. a village site near Stonehenge
C. the wooden version of Stonehenge
D. builders of Stonehenge and the house
答案：B 主旨大意题。本文讲述了在Stonehenge附近的一个村庄的遗址。
29. What can be inferred about Stonehenge from the passage?
A. Stonehenge was built before 2,600 B. C.
B. Stonehenge was built in the village.
C. Stonehenge was built for the community leaders.
D. Stonehenge was important for the villagers.
答案：D 推理判断题。根据第二段中Researchers believe Stonehenge was a memorial site or cemetery for the villagers可知，Stonehenge对于村民们来说很重要。
30. What can we learn about the village site?
A. The wooden version of the stone circle was a memorial.
B. Household rubbish can be found in all the houses.
C. People can still see beds and storage unit in the houses.
D. Each of the wooden houses is about 25 square meters.
答案：D 数字计算题。第三段中谈到木房子是正方形，每边长14英尺，约合5米，因此每个房子的面积是25平方米。
31. The shape of the stone arches was a bit like the letter________.
A. u B. w
C. n D. m
答案：C 推理判断题。根据最后一段中The stone arches were made with two stones at the bottom and one across the top.可知，其形状与字母n很相像。
D
Angry Birds is a video game developed by Finnish computer game developer Rovio Mobile. Inspired primarily by a sketch of stylized wingless birds, the game was first released for Apple's mobile operating system in December 2009. Since then, over 12 million copies of the game have been purchased from Apple's App Store.
With its fast－growing popularity worldwide, the game and its characters－angry birds and their enemy pigs－have appeared in television programs throughout the world. The Israeli comedy A Wonderful country, one of the nation's most popular TV programs, satirized (讽刺) recent failed Israeli－Palestinian peace attempts by featuring the angry birds in peace negotiations with the pigs. Clips of the segment went prevailing,_getting viewers from all around the world. American television hosts Conan O'Brien, Jon Stewart, and Daniel Tosh have referenced the game in comedy sketches for their programs, Conan, The Daily Show, and Dash. O. Some of the game's more famous fans include Prime Minister David Cameron of the UK, who plays the iPad version of the game, and Salman Rushdie, who is believed to be something of a master at Angry Birds.
Angry Birds and its characters have also been featured in advertisements in different forms. In March 2011, the characters began appearing in a series of advertisements for Microsoft's Bing search engine. In the same year, Nokia produced an advertisement in Austin, Texas that included the game's characters on a downtown building for its new mobile phone. Later，a T－Mobile advertisement filmed in Spain included a real－life mock－up (实物模型) of the game in a city center. Nokia also used the game in Malaysia to promote an attempt to set a world record for the largest number of people playing a single mobile game.
Angry Birds has even inspired works of philosophical analogy(哲学类比). A five－part essay with the title “Angry Birds Yoga－How to Eliminate the Green Pigs in Your Life” was written by Giridhari Dasar in Brazil, utilizing the characters and gameplay mechanics to interpret various concepts of yoga philosophy. The piece attracted much media attention for its unique method of philosophical presentation.
本文主要介绍愤怒的小鸟这个游戏是如何产生及如何受到人们的欢迎的。
32. What is the purpose of the passage?
A. To explain how the video game Angry Birds was devised.
B. To investigate why Angry Birds quickly becomes popular.
C. To introduce Angry Birds and its characters in TV programs and advertisements.
D. To report on the spread of Angry Birds in different media around the world.
答案：D 写作意图题。文章主要介绍了一款电子游戏——愤怒的小鸟一经研发就迅速进入人们的视野，受到全世界各个领域的欢迎，包括电视、广告、文学作品等多个方面。故选D。
33. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “prevailing” in Paragraph 2?
A. apparent B. popular
C. exciting D. disgusting
答案：B 词义猜测题。根据第二段开头的“With its fast－growing popularity worldwide”和画线词后面的“getting viewers from all around the world”可知，画线词与popular的意思最为接近，故选B。
34. According to the text, which of the following is good at playing Angry Birds?
A. Salman Rushdie. B. Conan O'Brien.
C. Giridhari Dasar. D. Daniel Tosh.

35. Which of the following is TRUE about Angry Birds according to the text?
A. It has been used by the UK's Prime Minister to explain political issues.
B. Its characters are mainly used in advertisements for Apple's products.
C. It has been developed into a film about the life of a Brazilian yoga master.

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项。
The word addiction usually makes you think of alcohol or drugs. ___36___Some people are compulsive (难以自制的) shoppers. Others find it impossible to pull themselves away from their work. Still others spend countless hours watching TV or playing computer games.
___37___ Many people enjoy going to malls or stores more and more every day, but it's more than a common hobby for some of them. They have turned into shopaholics (购物狂). They are people who simply enjoy shopping and walking around spending money without being able to stop doing it. They are hooked (把……勾住) on shopping and usually buy things that they don't need. Even though they don't have enough money, they buy everything they want.
The question is, why do they have this addiction? There isn't a specific answer. Some people go shopping when they are sad, worried, upset or lonely and they want to feel better. They use this activity as a way to forget their problems. Shopaholics say that they feel more important and better after they buy something. ___38___
Shopaholism seems to be a harmless addiction, but it can bring out problems. Some of them can be psychological (心理上的). If this is the case, people addicted to (对……上瘾) shopping should go to a support group to help them break this habit. However, the process, like for most addictions, is long, and they suffer a lot. ___39___ They just think about satisfying their feelings, so they spend money they don't have. ___40___
A. Once you are addicted to alcohol or drugs, it is difficult to get rid of.
B. Over the years, shopping has become a very common activity.
C. They also tend to have this addiction when they feel guilty.
D. However, in modern society we are seeing some new kinds of addictions.
E. People addicted to computer games consider the games as great ways to amuse themselves.
F. They get deep in debt, and they can even go bankrupt (破产) and get sent to prison.
G. It can also cause financial problems.
本文是说明文。有些人心情低落或感到焦虑、孤独时喜欢逛商场买东西，这无疑是一种解决方法，但如果这种习惯不加以约束，很可能会发展成购物狂症。
36. D 前一句讲“上瘾”一词容易使人联想到酒和毒品，后文列举了其他几种让人难以自制的行为，可见如今又发展出了许多新型的“瘾”，故选D。
37. B 后文提到有些人越来越喜欢逛商场买东西，渐渐变成购物狂，故此处选B。
38. C 本段讲述了人们购物成瘾的原因。前一句提到购物狂们说他们在买东西时会感到自己很重要，感觉很好，故选C最合此处文意。
39. G 后文提到他们疯狂购物后觉得满足，因此他们花钱超支，故此处选G。购物狂症也带来经济问题。
40. F 本句承接前文，疯狂购物导致金钱透支，如果这种情况不加以制止，情况会越来越糟，他们可能会欠债、破产，甚至坐牢，故选F。

65. ________ 66. ________ 67. ________ 68. ________
69. ________ 70. ________
本文谈论的是记者就婚姻问题对Rosco进行的采访。
61. mentioned 考查时态。当since表示从过去的一个时间点延续至说话的现在时，通常要求主句使用动词的现在完成时，而要求since从句使用一般过去时。
62. whether 考查宾语从句。分析句子结构可知，________I spoke the truth...为ask的宾语，引导词在从句中不作成分。由上下文意思可知，此处应填whether。
63. understandable 考查词性转换。is后接形容词作表语。再由as you're so beautiful可知应填understandable。
64. why 考查副词。由One can get more experience if he or she has dated several times！可知，此处问“原因”。
65．the 考查冠词。指男士提到的情况确实存在。
66. as 考查介词。take...as为固定用法，意为 “把……看作”。
67. to take 考查固定用法。advise sb. to do sth.为固定结构，意为“建议某人做某事”。
68. it 考查代词。分析句子结构可知，真正的主语是to find your true love，为保持句子平衡，用it作形式主语。
69. equally 考查词性转换。副词修饰形容词important。
70. worth 考查形容词。根据句意“我认为你对爱的态度值得学习”，所以填worth，且be worth doing sth. 为固定结构。

Good morning. This is Danny Jackson with weather watch，brought to you every day at this time by the Austin Chamber of Commerce. The weeklong extended forecast for Austin and the Texas Hills calls for mostly sunny weather today and Tuesday， with temperatures in the high seventies. By Wednesday， a cold pressure area that has been building up over the Gulf of Mexico should begin to move inland over Texas， bringing about a tendegree drop in temperature over the south central part of the state. By Wednesday night， that same low pressure should probably be dropping rain over the Austin area， with rain continuing into Thursday and possibly even early Friday. By Friday afternoon though， if all goes well， we should begin to see clear skies again， with a corresponding rise in temperature back into the seventies. Saturday and Sunday look like they'll be just beautiful. Danny Jackson with weather watch. Have a good week， Austin.
18. On what day will you probably hear this weather forecast?
A. On Saturday morning.

第二部分 阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)
第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
A
[2014·陕西宝鸡期末] As a professor at a large American university, there is a phrase that I hear often from students: “I'm only a 1050.”The unlucky students are speaking of the score on the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT), which is used to determine whether they will be admitted to the college or university of their choice, or even have a chance to get a higher education at all. The SAT score, whether it is 800, 1,100 or 1,550, has become the focus at this time of their life.
It is obvious that if students value highly their test scores, then a great amount of their self－respect is put in the number. Students who perform poorly on the exam are left feeling that it is all over. The low test score, they think, will make it impossible for them to get into a good college. And without a degree from a prestigious_university,_they fear that many of life's doors will remain forever closed.
According to a study done in the 1990s, the SAT is only a reliable indicator(指示物) of a student's future performance in most cases. Interestingly, it becomes much more accurate when it is set together with other indicators－like a student's high school grades. Even if standardized tests like the SAT could show a student's academic proficiency(学业水平), they will never be able to test things like confidence, efforts and willpower, and are unable to give us the full picture of a student's potentialities(潜力). This is not to suggest that we should stop using SAT scores in our college admission process. The SAT is an excellent test in many ways, and the score is still a useful means of testing students. However, it should be only one of many methods used.
本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了美国SAT考试的相关情况以及它对学生的影响。
21. The purpose of the SAT is to test students'________.
A. strong will
B. academic ability
C. full potentialities
D. confidence in school work
答案：B 本题考查细节理解。根据第一段中的“...which is used to determine whether they will be admitted to the college or university of their choice, or even have a chance to get a higher education at all.”和第三段的内容可知，SAT考试的目的是考查学生的学术能力。故B项正确。
22. Students' self－respect is influenced by their________.
A. scores in the SAT
B. achievements in mathematic
C. job opportunities
D. money spent on education
答案：A 本题考查细节理解。根据第二段第一句“It is obvious that if students value highly their test scores, then a great amount of their self－respect is put in the number.”可知，学生的自尊受他们在SAT考试中成绩的影响。故A项正确。
23. “A prestigious university” is most probably ________.
A. a famous university
B. a technical university
C. a traditional university
D. an expensive university
答案：A 本题考查词义猜测。联系语境可知，没有一个名牌大学的学位，他们会觉得许多生活的大门将永远对他们保持关闭状态。故A项正确。
24. This passage is mainly about ________.
A. how to prepare for the SAT
B. stress caused by the SAT
C. American higher education
D. the SAT and its effects
答案：D 本题考查主旨大意。本文主要介绍了SAT考试的有关情况和它对学生的影响。故D项正确。
B
Every year thousands of tourists visit Pompeii, Italy. They see the sights that Pompeii is famous for its stadium (运动场) and theatres, its shops and restaurants. The tourists do not, however, see Pompeii's people. They do not see them because Pompeii has no people. No one has lived in Pompeii for almost 2,000 years.
Once, Pompeii was a busy city of 22,000 people. It lay at the foot of Mount Vesuvius, a grass－covered volcano (火山). Mount Vesuvius had not erupted (喷发) for centuries, so the people of Pompeii felt safe. But they were not.
In August of AD 79, Mount Vesuvius erupted. The entire top of the mountain exploded, and a huge black cloud rose into the air. Soon stones and hot ash began to fall on Pompeii. When the eruption ended two days later, Pompeii was buried under 20 feet of stones and ash. Almost all of its people were dead.
For centuries, Pompeii lay buried under stones and ash. Then, in the year 1861, an Italian scientist named Ginseppe began to uncover Pompeii. Slowly, carefully, Ginseppe and his men dug. The city looked almost the same as it had looked in AD 79. There were streets and fountains, houses and shops. There was a stadium with 20,000 seats. Perhaps the most importantly of all, there were everyday objects, which told us a great deal about the people who lived in Pompeii. Many glasses and jars had some dark blue color in the bottom, so we know that the people of Pompeii liked wine. They liked bread, too; metal bread pans were in every bakery. In one bakery there were 81 round, flat loaves of bread－a type of bread that is still sold in Italy today. Tiny boxes filled with a dark, shiny powder tell us that women liked to wear eye－makeup.
sGinseppe has died, but his work continues. One－fourth has not been uncovered yet. Scientists are still digging, still making discoveries that draw the tourists to Pompeii.
本文主要讲述了每年成千上万的游客参观Pompeii的目的。
25. Why do large numbers of people come to Pompeii each year?
A. To visit the volcano.
B. To shop and eat there.
C. To watch sports and plays.
D. To see how Pompeiians lived.
答案：D 推理判断题。原文没有直接说出参观者到Pompeii的目的。通读全文可知，Pompeii是一座被火山吞没的城市。由于火山突然喷发，人们来不及逃避，而保留了当时人们生活的遗迹。所以参观者来的目的是看一看Pompeiians当时是如何生活的。但如果只注意到短文第一段最后一句话No one has lived in Pompeii for almost 2,000 years.和后面提到的volcano一词，容易错误地选择A项。
26. Why had so many Pompeiians remained by volcanic Mount Vesuvius?
A. The city nearby offered all kinds of fun.
B. The area produced the finest wine in Italy.
C. Few people expected the volcano to erupt again.
D. The mountain was beautiful and covered with grass.
答案：C 推理判断题。从第二段后两句话Mount Vesuvius had not erupted for centuries, so the people of Pompeii felt safe. But they were not.可以得出结论，几乎没有人想到火山会重新喷发。
27. Why did the city uncovered look almost the same as it had looked in AD 79?
A. Because Ginseppe and his men dug it slowly and carefully.
B. Because the city was buried alive and remained untouched.
C. Because scientists successfully rebuilt the city with everyday objects.
D. Because nobody had lived in the city ever since the volcano erupted.
答案：B 细节理解题。从第二、三段可知，Pompeii位于Mount Vesuvius山脚下，Mount Vesuvius是一座火山，但有多个世纪没有喷发了。人们以为它不会再喷发，但是，在公元79年8月，火山突然喷发，整个城市被埋葬在石头和灰尘下。由于火山突然喷发，人们在毫无准备的情况下被埋葬了，所以保留了当时全部的情景。
C
Researchers have found a village that may have been home to the builders of Stonehenge. The mysterious circular stone monument in England. The village of small houses dates back to about 2,600 B．C. That's about the same time Stonehenge was built. “Clearly, this is a place that was of enormous importance，” said researcher Mike Parker Pearson.
The ancient houses are at a site known as Durrington Walls, about two miles from Stonehenge. Researchers believe Stonehenge was a memorial site or cemetery for the villagers. The village also had a wooden version of the stone circle. It may have been used by people attending festivals at Stonehenge.
Eight of the houses have been excavated, or dug up. Researchers say there may be as many as 25 of them. The wooden houses were square and about 14 feet along each side. There are signs of bed frames along the walls and of a dresser or storage unit. The houses also had fireplaces.
Two of the houses were separate from the others and may have been the homes of community leaders. Researchers say those sites didn't have the debris and household trash that was found in the other homes. Stone tools, animal bones, arrowheads and other artifacts were found throughout the village site.
Stonehenge is a popular tourist spot in England. It is a huge circle made out of stones, which were placed in a grass field in southern England. The stone arches were made with two stones at the bottom and one across the top. All of the stones weigh a lot more than a big car. Scientists have long wondered not only how people built Stonehenge, but also why.
28. The passage is mainly about________.
A. researchers working at Stonehenge
B. a village site near Stonehenge
C. the wooden version of Stonehenge
D. builders of Stonehenge and the house
答案：B 主旨大意题。本文讲述了在Stonehenge附近的一个村庄的遗址。
29. What can be inferred about Stonehenge from the passage?
A. Stonehenge was built before 2,600 B. C.
B. Stonehenge was built in the village.
C. Stonehenge was built for the community leaders.
D. Stonehenge was important for the villagers.
答案：D 推理判断题。根据第二段中Researchers believe Stonehenge was a memorial site or cemetery for the villagers可知，Stonehenge对于村民们来说很重要。
30. What can we learn about the village site?
A. The wooden version of the stone circle was a memorial.
B. Household rubbish can be found in all the houses.
C. People can still see beds and storage unit in the houses.
D. Each of the wooden houses is about 25 square meters.
答案：D 数字计算题。第三段中谈到木房子是正方形，每边长14英尺，约合5米，因此每个房子的面积是25平方米。
31. The shape of the stone arches was a bit like the letter________.
A. u B. w
C. n D. m
答案：C 推理判断题。根据最后一段中The stone arches were made with two stones at the bottom and one across the top.可知，其形状与字母n很相像。
D
Angry Birds is a video game developed by Finnish computer game developer Rovio Mobile. Inspired primarily by a sketch of stylized wingless birds, the game was first released for Apple's mobile operating system in December 2009. Since then, over 12 million copies of the game have been purchased from Apple's App Store.
With its fast－growing popularity worldwide, the game and its characters－angry birds and their enemy pigs－have appeared in television programs throughout the world. The Israeli comedy A Wonderful country, one of the nation's most popular TV programs, satirized (讽刺) recent failed Israeli－Palestinian peace attempts by featuring the angry birds in peace negotiations with the pigs. Clips of the segment went prevailing,_getting viewers from all around the world. American television hosts Conan O'Brien, Jon Stewart, and Daniel Tosh have referenced the game in comedy sketches for their programs, Conan, The Daily Show, and Dash. O. Some of the game's more famous fans include Prime Minister David Cameron of the UK, who plays the iPad version of the game, and Salman Rushdie, who is believed to be something of a master at Angry Birds.
Angry Birds and its characters have also been featured in advertisements in different forms. In March 2011, the characters began appearing in a series of advertisements for Microsoft's Bing search engine. In the same year, Nokia produced an advertisement in Austin, Texas that included the game's characters on a downtown building for its new mobile phone.

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项。
The word addiction usually makes you think of alcohol or drugs. ___36___Some people are compulsive (难以自制的) shoppers. Others find it impossible to pull themselves away from their work. Still others spend countless hours watching TV or playing computer games.
___37___ Many people enjoy going to malls or stores more and more every day, but it's more than a common hobby for some of them. They have turned into shopaholics (购物狂). They are people who simply enjoy shopping and walking around spending money without being able to stop doing it. They are hooked (把……勾住) on shopping and usually buy things that they don't need. Even though they don't have enough money, they buy everything they want.
The question is, why do they have this addiction? There isn't a specific answer. Some people go shopping when they are sad, worried, upset or lonely and they want to feel better. They use this activity as a way to forget their problems. Shopaholics say that they feel more important and better after they buy something. ___38___
Shopaholism seems to be a harmless addiction, but it can bring out problems. Some of them can be psychological (心理上的). If this is the case, people addicted to (对……上瘾) shopping should go to a support group to help them break this habit. However, the process, like for most addictions, is long, and they suffer a lot. ___39___ They just think about satisfying their feelings, so they spend money they don't have. ___40___
A. Once you are addicted to alcohol or drugs, it is difficult to get rid of.
B. Over the years, shopping has become a very common activity.
C. They also tend to have this addiction when they feel guilty.
D. However, in modern society we are seeing some new kinds of addictions.
E. People addicted to computer games consider the games as great ways to amuse themselves.
F. They get deep in debt, and they can even go bankrupt (破产) and get sent to prison.
G. It can also cause financial problems.
本文是说明文。有些人心情低落或感到焦虑、孤独时喜欢逛商场买东西，这无疑是一种解决方法，但如果这种习惯不加以约束，很可能会发展成购物狂症。
36. D 前一句讲“上瘾”一词容易使人联想到酒和毒品，后文列举了其他几种让人难以自制的行为，可见如今又发展出了许多新型的“瘾”，故选D。
37. B 后文提到有些人越来越喜欢逛商场买东西，渐渐变成购物狂，故此处选B。
38. C 本段讲述了人们购物成瘾的原因。前一句提到购物狂们说他们在买东西时会感到自己很重要，感觉很好，故选C最合此处文意。
39. G 后文提到他们疯狂购物后觉得满足，因此他们花钱超支，故此处选G。购物狂症也带来经济问题。
40. F 本句承接前文，疯狂购物导致金钱透支，如果这种情况不加以制止，情况会越来越糟，他们可能会欠债、破产，甚至坐牢，故选F。
