第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
A
If you see a group of people dancing and singing on the street or in the railway station, you don’t need to feel surprised. They are a flash mob （快闪族）, which is a group of people who e together suddenly in a public place, do something unusual for a brief period of time, and then quickly break up. They are usually anized with the help of the Inter or other digital munication work. At a predetermined time, they gather and perform some distractions（消遣）such as waving their hands and exchanging books. Then, they quickly break up before the police can arrive. Using mobile phones, the flash mob can change its location if the first one has been replaced for any reason.
Bill Lasik, senior editor of Harper’s Magazine, anized the first flash mob in Manhattan in May 2003 and the first suessful flash mob came together on June 3, 2003 ― after the first attempt was foiled at Macy’s department store. Lasik claimed that the activity was designed to make fun of hipsters （起时髦的人）, and call attention to the cultural atmosphere.
Flash mob gatherings can sometimes shock people. Such an activity might seem amusing and untrue, but it also might frighten people who are not aware of what is taking place. Undoubtedly, flash mobs can serve as good political tools in any direction. They also have great economic potential, such as using flash mobs to advertise a product.
The flash mob is now being more and more popular. People use it to do many things. For example, in 2009, Michael Jackson’s fans took part in a flash mob to remember him. Hundreds of his fans gathered singing and dancing Michael’s famous song “Beat It” together. Flash mobs give people from all walks of life an opportunity to e together to create a memory.
21. The underlined word “foiled” in Paragraph 2 can be replaced by _ .
A. fotten B. prevented C. announced D. confirmed
22. What can you learn about the flash mob from the passage?
A. The flash mob usually breaks up quickly for lacking enough time.
B. Once the place for the activity is determined, it can’t be changed.
C. The flash mob can be made use of in many fields just for fun.
D. It gives people the chance to e together to do something unusual.
23. The main purpose of the passage is _______.
A. to entertain B. to encourage C. to inform D. to persuade
24. The writer’s attitude towards the flash mob is _______.
A. negative B. objective C. favorable D. doubtful

B
“Cleverness is a gift while kindness is a choice. Gifts are easy ?? they’re given after all. Choices can be hard.” ?? Jeff Bezos.
I got the idea to start Amazon 16 years ago. I came across the fact that the Inter usage was growing at 2,300 percent per year. I’d never seen or heard of anything that grew that fast, and the idea of building an online bookstore with millions of titles was very exciting to me. I had just turned 30 years old, and I’d been married for a year. I told my wife MacKenzie that I wanted to quit my job and go to do this crazy thing that probably wouldn’t work since most start-ups don’t, and I wasn’t sure what to expect. MacKenzie told me I should go for it. As a young boy, I’d been a garage inventor. I’d always wanted to be an inventor, and she wanted me to follow my passion.
I was working at a financial firm in New York City with a bunch of very smart people, and I had a brilliant boss that I much admired. I went to my boss and told him I wanted to start a pany selling books on the Inter. He took me on a long walk in Central Park, listened carefully to me, and finally said, “That sounds like a really good idea, but it would be an even better idea for someone who didn’t already have a good job.” That logic made some sense to me, and he convinced me to think about it for 48 hours before making a final decision. Seen in that light, it really was a difficult choice, but ultimately (最后), I decided I had to give it a shot. I didn’t think I’d regret trying and failing. And I suspected I would always be haunted by a decision to not try at all.
After much consideration, I took the less safe path to follow my passion, and I’m proud of that choice. For all of us, in the end, we are our choices.
25. What inspired the author with the idea of building an online bookstore?
A. His dream of being an inventor. B. The support of his wife.
C. The greatly increasing usage of the Inter. D. Millions of exciting titles.
26. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined sentence?
A. The idea of not trying would keep ing to his mind and disturb him.
B. He would be very excited if he tried it out.
C. He would be always having a doubt if he didn’t try.
D. The decision to not try the online bookstore would terrify him.
27. We can know from the passage that _______.
A. the boss thought the idea was suitable for the author
B. the author wanted someone else to try the idea
C. the author might not regret if he failed the idea
D. the author might go back to his boss if he failed
28. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. Cleverness and KindnessB. The Starting of Amazon
C. Following My PassionD. We Are What We Choose

Mrs. Obama spoke to the graduates of Martin Luther King Jr. High School on Saturday in her only high school mencement（毕业典礼）speech this year. The ceremony took place in the gymnasium of Tennessee State University.
The first lady told the 170 graduates that she spent too much of her time in college focusing on academe achievements. While her suess in college and law school led to a good job, she said, she ended up focusing on public service. “My message to you today is that don’t waste a minute living someone else’s dream,” she said. “It takes a lot of real work to discover what brings you joy and you won’t find what you love simply by checking mailboxes or surfing the .”
She said MLK reminded her of her own high school experience in Chicago. “My No.1 goal was to go to a high school that would push me and challenge me,” she said. “I wanted to go somewhere that would celebrate achievement. Unfortunately, schools like this don’t exist for every kid.” she said. “You are blessed.”
The first lady told graduates that failure may be a part of their college lives and careers, and that how they respond determines what they will bee. “That’s when you find out what you’re really made of in those hard times,” she said. “But you can only do that if you’re willing to put yourself in a position where you might fail.” Overing difficulties has been the mark of many great people, she said, “Oprah was demoted（降职）from her first job as a news reporter, and now she doesn’t even need a last name,” she said of media giant Oprah Winfrey “And then there’s this guy Barack Obama, I could take up a whole afternoon talking about his failures. He lost his first race for Congress”, the first lady joked, “and now he gets to call himself my husband.”

Five years ago, David Smith wore an expensive suit to work every day. “I was a clothes addict.” he jokes. “I used to carry a fresh suit to work with me so I could change if my clothes got wrinkled.” Today David wears casual clothes ― khaki pants and a sports shirt ― to the office. He hardly ever wears a necktie. “I am working harder than ever.” David says, “and I need to feel fortable.”
More and more panies are allowing their office workers to wear casual clothes to work. In the United States, the change from formal to casual office wear has been gradual. In the early 1990s, many panies allowed their employees to wear casual clothes on Friday （but only on Friday）. This became known as “dress-down Friday” or “casual Friday”. “What started out as an extra one-day-a-week benefit for employees has really bee an everyday thing.” said business consultant Maisly Jones.
Why have so many panies started allowing their employees to wear casual clothes? One reason is that it’s easier for a pany to attract new employees if it has a casual dress code.” “A lot of young people don’t want to dress up for work,” says the owner of a software pany, “so it’s hard to hire people if you have a conservative（保守的）dress code.” Another reason is that people seem happier and more productive when they are wearing fortable clothes. In a study conducted by Levi Strauss and pany, 85 percent of employers said that they believe that casual dress improves employee morale（心境，士气）. Only 4 percent of employers said that casual dress has a negative influence on productivity. Supporters of casual office wear also argue that a casual dress code helps them save money. “Suits are expensive, if you have to wear one every day,” one person said. “For the same amount of money, you can buy a lot more casual clothes.”
33. David Smith refers to himself as having been “a clothes addict,” because _______.
A. he often wore khaki pants and a sports shirt
B. he couldn’t stand a clean appearance
C. he wanted his clothes to look neat all the time
D. he didn’t want to spend much money on clothes
34. David Smith wears casual clothes now, because_______.
A. they make him feel at ease when working
B. he cannot afford to buy expensive clothes
C. he looks handsome in casual clothes
D. he no longer works for any pany
35. In this passage, the following advantages of casual office wear are mentioned EXCEPT _______.
A. saving employees’ money
B. making employees more attractive
C. improving employees’ motivation
D. making employees happier

One possible version:
Nowadays, most of us teenagers have our own cell phones and some of us are addicted to playing with cell phones. As a result, we ignore the normal munication with our teachers and classmates.
There is no doubt that cell phones have a negative impact on our life. Playing with cell phones makes it hard for us to concentrate on our lessons. Sending text messages makes us lose the ability to municate with others. Worse still, we don’t have much time for physical exercise.
So we’d better limit the time we spend using the cell phones. Besides, we should learn to municate with our family members face to face, which helps build a harmonious family atmosphere.
