I chose December 15 as the starting date, which marked three years since my mother died from heart disease. She was one of the most generous people that I have ever known. She always thought of others first and certainly serves as an inspiration to me.I had a rather busy day yesterday, ironic(具有讽刺意义的) for someone who is unemployed right now. In the morning I went to the gym, and unsuccessfully got the phone call from the unemployment office for some job searching. Before I knew it, it was noon. I grabbed a quick lunch and rushed down to a meeting. On my way to Connecticut, I wondered if I would see someone that I would feel forced to give my first $10 to. I was running late and decided to do it afterwards.After the meeting I had about half an hour to find the first person of my Year of Giving! I decided to check out Dupont Circle. I had met a guy there named Jerry once and thought he would willingly accept my first $10. He wasnt there, but I did see a man sitting by himself who looked really lonely, so I approached him. Now I had to figure out what I was going to say. I think I said something like, “Hi, can I sit down here?” “I would like to know if I could give you $10?” He asked me to repeat what I had said. I did, then he looked at me funny, got up and left.I then started walking south where I spotted a man standing by the bus stop on Connecticut Ave. He appeared to be in his 60s. I dont know what drew me to him, but I thought I would make my second attempt. I was a bit nervous and asked him which bus came by that stop. Then I explained that I was starting a year-long project to give $10 to someone every day and that I wanted to give my $10 for today to him. The gentleman, I later found out that his name was Ed, responded without hesitation that he could not accept my offer and that there were many people more deserving the money than him. This was exactly one of the things that I hoped would happen. People would think of others before themselves!21. The author set the starting date on December 15 to .A. help the charityB. remember his motherC. make an explorationD. fulfill a wish of his mum22. In the authors first attempt to give away the money， .A. he was considered ridiculousB. he hesitated for a long timeC. he was forced to donate the moneyD. he had no time to take action23.In the authors second attempt, the gentleman refused his offer because .A. he didnt need others helpB. he thought more for othersC. he didnt care about moneyD. he wanted to get more money24.We can infer that the author was inspired by .A. true friendship B. his own kindnessC. generous donations D.humans good natureBI grew up in a family that ate dinner together every evening. Although my parents enjoyed wine, they rarely drank during the week and always in moderation（节制）.As for myself,1 wasnt interested in alcoholic drinks and neither were my high school friends.So when I arrived on campus for my first year of university life, I was a bit shocked. Many different events had been organized for the freshmen, but they all had one thing in mon-alcohol, and plenty of .it wanting to be left out, I joined a few of the events. But I always returned home early, feeling disappointed. Your personality, interests and experiences didnt matter at all, only how many alcoholic drinks you could absorb before passing out（喝醉）. It seemed shallow to me. I wanted to get to know my new coursemates, not how fast they. could down a pint of beer.Gradually, however, I realized that real friends dont judge you by how much you can drink and there were other ways of making friends. I joined a photography society, took a first aid course, and every weekend l went cycling with a coursemate. I found that by engaging in these activities and sharing the fun of learning new skills together in a group ,I formed much stronger bonds with my new friends than even the strongest alcoholic drinks could encourage.Another valuable lesson I learned is that its perfectly okay to say No if you dont want to drink. However, in many Western societies, especially the UK, binge drinking（狂喝）has bee the norm. Many people who drink dont necessarily want to, but they give in to the peer pressure(同伴压力)-theyre afraid to say No.25.What shocked the author when he entered university?A. The strange campus. B. The popularity of alcohol.C. The drunken coursemates. D. The limited activities.26.Why did the author return home early from the events at first?A. He wasnt good at drinking.B. He had no familiar coursemates.C. He hated the way people got along. D. He was left out by the organizers.27.How did the author finally make real friends at university?A. By saying No to alcoholic drinks.B. By staying away from group activities.C. By giving in to the peer pressure.D. By joining people with mon interests.CA new retail phenomenon from Japan which allows customers to walk away with free products is to launch in Britain. From tomorrow, visitors to SampleTrends central London store can try anything on its shelves, and all of the products can be taken home without charge.For an annual membership fee of 60，users are free to enter the shop once a month and help themselves to no less than 250 worth of goods every year. The only catch is that shoppers are asked to plete a simple questionnaire about each product they try. Known as try-vertising，the concept allows manufacturers to test products and receive consumer feedback(反馈）before launching onto the open market. It is already a sensation in Japan and now looks set to transform the fortunes of the embattled UK retail industry. If everything goes well, countries such as Germany and France will give it a try. According to new figures, stores are facing a Christmas crisis with the weakest high street trading for six months. Michael Ghosh, the founder behind SampleTrend, said, “The concept behind SampleTrend is unique in the UK. It allows shoppers the opportunity to walk away with a number of real, full-size products of their choosing without handing over a penny.” The concept of in-store try-vertising is simple but effective. Businesses across all sectors from cosmetic manufacturers to beverage makers, place new products on the shelves at SampleTrend and wait for consumers to try them out.Customers plete a short 10-point questionnaire about the product. The feedback they provide is used to make any finishing touches before the product is brought officially to market. The SampleTrend store stocks everything from cosmetics, food and drink, and household goods. Ghosh, the former advertising and sales director for Disney Europe, said such feedback may also build brand loyalty from the outset a particularly appealing prospect for new businesses.8.The most attractive part of the idea for customers is that_.A. they only pay 60 for a life-long membershipB. they can help to make the products betterC. it wont take much time to finish the questionnaireD. they can take things home without paying for them29.The idea of try-vertising originates from_.A. Germany B. Britain C. Japan D. France30.The purpose of try-vertising is to_.A. get feedback for their new productsB. sell more products at Christmas timeC. encourage people to buy more productsD. give customers free products as gifts31.What does Michael Ghosh think of this business idea?A. Puzzling. B. Unpractical.C. Promising. D. Surprising.DFood production does great harm to our environment.There are many procedures involved in the manufacture of food that result in greenhouse gases and other pollutants.Some procedures require the consumption of large amounts of fossil fuels,such as the transportation and storage of food products.Other factors that cause great damage to our environment include the overuse of fresh water.The production of beef is more damaging to the environment than that of any other food we consume,Raising large numbers of cattle requires the production of large amounts of food for the animals.Its estimated that producing one pound of beef requires seven pounds of feed.Land use is also a problem.If the cattle are free-range cattle,large areas of land are required for them to live on.This has led to disastrous forest cutting and the loss of rare plants and animal species,particularly in tropical rain forests in Central and South America.Another problem specific to beef production is methane emissions (甲烷排放).Although many people are aware of the damaging effects of carbon dioxide,they dont realize methanes global warming potential is 25 times worse,making it a more dire problem.Unfortunately,beef consumption is growing rapidly.This is the result of simple supply and demand factors.Specifically,there are two main causes of demand that are encouraging the production of more supply.First,the increase in the world population means there are more people to consume meat.The second factor is socioeconomic advancement.As citizens in developing nations bee financially stable,they can afford to buy more meat.Therefore,one way to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions is for people around the world to significantly cut down on the amount of beef they eat.32.Which of the following is TRUE?A. Raising free-range cattle is eco-friendly.B. People cut down trees for animal habitats.C. Producing beef can damage the environment.D. Carbon dioxide causes far more harm than methane.33.The underlined word “dire” in Para.4 means .A. urgent B. mon C. typical D. avoidable34.Beef production is growing rapidly because .A. more people are in demand of beefB. developing countries raise more cattleC. more land is available to raise cattleD. the cost of raising cattle is relatively low35.The author writes this article to .A. describe the booming of the beef productionB. emphasize the advantages of beef productionC. condemn the deforestation of the rain forestD. argue for a decrease in beef consumption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。I cant tell you how excited I was when I joined my first book club, but I can tell you how much I immediately regretted it.
