    　　They are the sort of friends who are so close that they trust each other with their lives. If one falls, the other is there to catch him.
    They are Wellman, whose legs were permanently injured nine years ago in a rock-climbing accident, and Corbett, an experienced rock climber. Together, they climbed up Half Dome, the famous 2, 000-foot rock in the Yosemite National Park, through one of the most difficult routes(路线).
    During the climb, Corbett took the lead, hit in the metal spikes(尖状物)that guided the ropes, and climbed up. Then, after Wellman pulled himself up the rope, Corbett went down to remove the spikes and climbed up again. This process was repeated time and again, inch by inch, for 13 days.  Wellman’s job was not easy either. He got himself up the rope through upper body strength alone. In all, Wellman figured that he had done 5, 000 pull-ups up the rope on the climb.
    However, when the two men first met, they never talked about climbing. “He knew that was how I got injured. ”Wellman said. Until one day Wellman decided that he wanted to climb again and they started training.
    Their climb of Half Dome was not all smooth. At one point, pieces of rock gave way, and Corbett dropped down quickly. Wellman locked their rope in place, stopping the fall at 20 feet. His quick action probably saved his friend’s life.
    “Your partner can save your life—you can save your partner’s life. ”Wellman said as the pair received congratulations from friends. “There are real close ties. ”
    小题1: Which of the following was a challenge for Corbett in climbing Half Dome?
    A．To climb up to remove the spikes.
    B．To climb it twice.
    C．To do 5, 000 pull-ups up the rope.
    D．To lock the rope in place.
    小题2: Why did the two men never talk about climbing when they first met?
    A．Corbett was poorly trained.
    B．Wellman had lost interest in climbing.
    C．Corbett didn’t want to hurt Wellman.
    D．Wellman hadn’t decided whether to climb again or not.
    小题3: What do we know about Wellman?
    A．He climbed Half Dome by himself.
    B．He was disabled in a traffic accident.
    C．He stopped rock-climbing for some time.
    D．He was saved by Corbett during the climb.
    小题4: The main idea of the text is that　　　.
    A．two heads are better than one
    B．friendship is precious in life
    C．the disabled should never give up
    D．a man can be destroyed but cannot be defeated

    小题1:B
    小题2:C
    小题3:C
    小题4:D

    【文章大意】在现实生活中, 不管做什么事情, 人人互助就能克服任何困难, 甚至挽救生命。Wellman和Corbett的经历恰好印证了这个道理。
    小题1:选B。细节理解题。根据文章可知, C项和D项是Wellman所为, 因此排除。根据第五段可知, Corbett在攀爬之中掉了下去, 是Wellman及时固定住缆绳阻止住他下落, 他得再次攀爬上去, 对他来说这是个巨大的挑战, 因此选择B项。
    小题2:选C。推理判断题。根据句子. . . when the two men first met, they never talked about climbing. “He knew that was how I got injured. ”Wellman said和. . . Wellman, whose legs were permanently injured nine years ago in a rock-climbing accident可知, 他们没有谈论攀岩是因为Corbett不想伤害Wellman这个残疾人的自尊。A、B、D项没有提及。
    小题3:选C。推理判断题。根据第四段可知, Wellman过了一段时间才决定再次攀岩, 于是他们二人共同训练, 因此C项正确。A项文中没有提及; B项错在in a traffic accident, 应为in a rock-climbing accident; D项错误, 应为Wellman挽救了Corbett的生命。
    小题4:选B。主旨大意题。通读全文可知, Wellman和Corbett通过在攀岩活动中互相帮助, 战胜困难, 甚至挽救生命的事迹, 歌颂了友谊之珍贵, 文末的There are real close ties. 也能说明B项正确。A项意为“三个臭皮匠胜过诸葛亮”。

    Today，people all over the world are moving out of small villages in the country to go and live in big，noisy cities.They are moving from the peaceful hills，mountains，fields，rivers and streams of the countryside to the busy world of streets，buildings，traffic and crowds.This movement from rural areas to urban_areas has been going on for over two hundred years.
    In many countries，the main reason why people come to live in towns and cities is work.After one or two large factories have been built in or near a town，people come to find work，and soon an industrial area begins to grow.There is usually a residential area nearby，where the factory workers can live.The families of these workers need schools，hospitals and shops，so more people come to live in the area to provide these services and a city grows.
    In every major city in the world，there is a business district where the big companies have their main offices.In the United States，this area is usually in the city centre.It is here that you can see the huge skyscraper office blocks.The people who work here often travel a long way to work each day.Many of them live in the suburbs of the city，far away from the industrial area and the city centre.Some suburbs are very pleasant，with nice houses and big gardens.There are usually parks for children to play in and large department stores where you can buy all you need.
    But what is the future of the big cities? Will they continue to get bigger? Perhaps not.Some major cities have actually become smaller in the last ten years，and it is quite possible that one day we will see people moving out of the major cities and back into smaller towns and villages.
    小题1:We can easily know that the underlined phrase “urban areas” means________.
    A．areas of the countryside
    B．areas of a town or city

    D．areas near a town or city
    小题2:Why do people move to live in cities or towns?
    A．Because they can live more comfortably there.
    B．Because they prefer a noisy life to a peaceful life.

    Local businessmen are increasingly facing competition from online retailers. Larry Pollock, owner of Camera Co/Op on South Congress, said he has been dealing with this kind of problem for years, even before the Internet. The struggle began with mail-order catalogues(目录), which are similar to online retailers in that they have few employees to pay, no sales tax fees and no business venue to lease and manage.
    “Their overhead is lower, but they don’t offer a service like we do,” Pollock said.
    Pollock, however, said providing a valuable service to customers does not always guarantee continued sales.
    “We spend 30 minutes to an hour with somebody and they go home and buy it on line,” he said.
    According to the state comptroller’s office, online shopping is developing at a more rapid rate than traditional businesses.
    In spite of how fair or unfair online shopping may be to the local businessmen, consumers will continue to turn to the Internet for its variety and accessibility, said Mitch Wilson, an online shopper. “You have a larger selection and it's easier to compare prices.”
    Wilson said he built his personal computer and paid a third of the price by shopping on line.
    “Before the Internet, I would have had to go and buy an assembled computer from somebody like Dell,” he said. “Before I started shopping on line I could never find all the pieces I wanted. No single store had everything needed, so shopping on line saved me from having to buy from Dell.”
    Janny Brazeal, a psychology freshman, said online shopping is too impersonal.
    “’d rather see it in person, touch it, know that I’m getting it,” she said.
    Brazeal also said she would not give out her credit card number or other personal information on line no matter how safe the site claims it is.
    小题1:Larry Pollock has been facing the problem _____.
    A．before long
    B．after the Internet
    C．since there were mail-order catalogues
    D．since he worked as a businessman
    小题2:According to the passage, which of the following is WRONG?
    A．Traditional business can provide valuable ser- vices to customers.
    B．People can get cheaper goods from traditional business.
    C．More and more people will turn to the Internet for their needs.
    D．There are still many people who don’t like on- line shopping.
    小题3: Mitch Wilson prefers to build his personal compu- ter by shopping on line because _____.
    A．he can easily get what he needs at a lower price
    B．he can not get the price at traditional businessman
    C．he is not satisfied with the service of local busi- nessman
    D．the quality of Dell is not satisfying

    As the new semester begins，millions of college students across the country are trying hard to remember how best to write a paper-or，more likely，how best to delay that paper．
    Procrastination is the thief of time and a lot of students suffer from it．They can spend whole days in the library doing nothing but staring into space，eating snacks，surfing the Internet，watching videos and looking at their pretty peers sitting around them，who，most likely，are doing nothing either．
    Paralyzed by their habit to procrastinate，they write micro blogs about their fears，asking their online friends if they sometimes have the same issue．But this does nothing to solve their problems．
    According to a recent report by the BBC，95 percent of us procrastinate at some point and 20 percent of the world’s population are procrastinators，complicating their lives with their continual delaying of tasks．
    Procrastinators like to find excuses to justify their behavior，but BBC columnist Rowan Pelling says they are all wrong．Many procrastinators tell themselves they are perfectionists who work best under pressure．Pelling says this is nonsense，as work done at the last minute is more likely to have mistakes than work done on time．
    She says the behavior of procrastinators often makes them feel flustered and ashamed，inconveniences others，and annoys loved ones．
    Fortunately，social seientists have made tireless efforts to understand this behavioral shortcoming and offer strategies to control it．Piers Steel，a Canadian social scientist and author of The Procrastination Equation，believes humankind is“designed”to procrastinate．Nevertheless，he suggests a couple of good ways to get through the task at hand．
    The first one is obvious：Break the task down into small pieces and work your way through them methodically．
    The second is clever：Give a trusted friend a sum of money and tell them that if you don’t complete the task you have undertaken by a specific time，they can keep it or donate it to a cause you hate.
    小题1:What does the underlined word“Procrastination” in the second paragraph refer to?
    A．A bad habit of putting work or tasks off．
    B．A thief who steals time and money in college.
    C．A college student who learns nothing．
    D．A study way of doing nothing in the library.
    小题2:Which of the following statements is true according to the text?
    A．College students can have their papers written if they delay them．
    B．Many students don’t know what to do in the library．
    C．Students can’t solve their procrastination by writing micro blogs．
    D．20％of the procrastinators make their life complicated．
    小题3:According to Rowan Pelling，we can learn that procrastinators .
    A．can find reasonable excuses for their behavior
    B．are able to work best under pressure
    C．are more likely to avoid mistakes at work[]
    D．may upset themselves and their loved ones more frequently
    小题4:Which of the following may Piers Steel support?
    A．Human beings are not born to be procrastinators．
    B．Complete your tasks or work step by step．
    C．Give your trusted friend money and ask him to help you finish your tasks．
    D．You can’t control procrastination but you can avoid it．
    小题5:What’she best title of the text?
    A．Who steals my time?
    B．The solutions to procrastination
    C．I’ll do it tomorrow，I swear!
    D．Don’t do nothing!

    The popular US drama series “House of Cards”, which has already started its second season, features Chinese elements in its storyline. Traditional heroes are no longer sought after anymore. Today, it’s unconventional leading figure -like Francis J. Underwood from “House of Cards” who are winning audiences’ hearts.
    The political drama, which airs on the Internet service Netflix, has won the applauses of viewers around the world since its debut(首次亮相) on February 1, 2013. And it has caught the attention of real politicians, including US President Barack Obama.
    Kevin Spacey plays Francis J. Underwood, a cold-blooded Democrat who moves his way up the political ladder by any means necessary. He often uses his under-exposure in media to carry out misdeeds that will later benefit him.
    The revenge(报仇) theme plays a heavy role throughout the storyline, Underwood, who had high hopes for an appointment as Secretary of State in the first season, was betrayed by the US President and his former colleagues. He and his wife then conducted a plan of revenge and swore to unseat those who turned their backs against him. Through their plan, Underwood’s own hunger for power grew and empowered him to get rid of whoever stood in his Way.
    The release of the trailer(预告片) of the second season excited millions of viewers around the world, including US President Barack Obama, who has been a loyal fan since the series debuted. Obama expressed his admiration for Underwood. “This guy’s getting a lot of stuff done,” he said. Although the President is anxious to watch the story unfold, he’d like to do it at his own pace. After the release of the second season on February 14, 2014, Obama sent words on his Twitter account, “Tomorrow: @HouseOfCards. No spoilers , please.”
    The second season has promised to be darker, with more unexpected turnouts, and is to include more Chinese elements. “Perhaps the team, including myself, has realized that in the next decade, Asia will be an extensively important region, and China will play an active role in its transition and change,” says Spacey.

    LONDON（Reuters）—Organic fruit, delivered right to the doorstep．That is what Gabriel Gold prefers, and he is willing to pay for it．If this is not possible, the 26-year-old computer technician will spend the extra money at the supermarket to buy organic food．
    “Organic produce is always better,” Gold said．“The food is free of pesticides（农药）, and you are generally supporting family farms instead of large farms．And more often than not it is locally grown and seasonal, so it is more tasty．” Gold is one of a growing number of shoppers buying into the organic trend, and supermarkets across Britain are counting on more like him as they grow their organic food business．But how many shoppers really know what they are getting, and why are they willing to pay a higher price for organic produce? Market research shows that Gold and others who buy organic food can generally give clear reasons for their preferences—but their knowledge of organic food is far from complete．For example, small amounts of pesticides can be used on organic products．And about three quarters of organic food in Britain is not local but imported to meet growing demand．“The demand for organic food is increasing by about one third every year, so it is a very fast-growing market,” said Sue Flock, a specialist in this line of business．
    小题1:More and more people in Britain are buying organic food because _____．
    A．they are getting richer
    B．they can get the food anywhere
    C．they like home-grown fruit
    D．they consider the food free of pollution
    小题2:Which of the following statements is true to the facts about most organic produce sold in Britain?
    A．It grows indoors all year round．
    B．It is grown on family farms
    C．It is produced outside Britain．
    D．It is produced on large farms．
    小题3:What is the meaning of “the organic trend” as the words are used in the text?
    A．better quality of organic food．
    B．growing interest in organic food．
    C．rising market for organic food．
    D．higher prices of organic food．
    小题4:What is the best title for this news story?
    A．The making of organic food in Britain．
    B．Organic food—to import or not?
    C．Good qualities of organic food．
    D．Organic food—healthy, or just for the wealthy?
