21、THE middle-aged woman with the black cardigan around her shoulders had assumed a meticulously calibrated posture: feet shoulder-width apart, arms slightly bent, fists loosely clenched, muscles relaxed yet alert.
She was not preparing for a tae kwon do bout, but performing her personal version of the underground battle engaged in daily by millions of New Yorkers: reading, intently, on a sardine-can D train heading swiftly toward Brooklyn in the evening rush. Without holding on.
“I am a New Yorker,” the woman, Robin Kornhaber, 54, told me as if those five crisp words explained everything. “I can do anything on the subway.”
Reading on the subway is a New York ritual, for the maters of the intricately folded newspaper like Ms. Kornhaber, who lives in Park Slope and works on the Upper East Side, as well as for teenage girls thumbing through magazines, aspiring actors memorizing lines, office workers devouring self-help inspiration, immigrants taking comfort in paragraphs in a familiar tongue. These days, among the worn covers may be the occasional Kindle, but since most trains are still devoid of Internet access, the subway ride remains rare low-tech interlude in a city of multitasking workaholics. And so, we read.
Even without a seat, even while pressed with strangers into human panini, even as someone plays a keyboard harmonica and rattles a cup of change, even when stumbling home after a party.
There are those whose commutes are carefully timed to the length of a Talk of the Town section of The New Yorker, those who methodically page their way through the classics, and those who always carry a second novel in case they unexpectedly make it to the end of the first on a slow F train. There is a lawyer from Brooklyn who for the past two months has catalogued what she and other commuters are reading on a blog, “The Subway Book Club,” and a student at the New School who spent the summer passing out 600 donated books to subway riders to spread her passion for reading.
And then there are those reading the readers, imagining their story lines. That man in a suit studying “Rosetta Stone Level 3 Italian” on the No. 2 train must be preparing to meet his fiancee’s family in Tuscany. The woman reading a young-adult novel at 81st Street is probably a teacher preparing for class. We are usually left to wonder, but I recently spent 12 hours crisscrossing four boroughs underground, asking people what they were reading and why.
Bob Alderson, 46, the man learning Italian, is a parent lawyer, with no immediate overseas travel plans, but aspirations. “Someday I want to visit Italy, so I’m studying,” he said.
【1】Which of the following is the best title of the passage?
A.New York Rush
B.Reading Underground
C.Underground Battle
D.Subway Escape
【2】The first three paragraphs tell us that ______.
A.Robin Kornhaber is a little bit nervous on the train
B.Robin Komhaber is physically prepared for train ride
C.Robin Komhaber is a typical New York train rider and reader
D.Robin Kornhaber stands for New Yorkers who rely heavily on subway
【3】Which of the following is NOT true?
A.It is a culture for New Yorkers to read underground.
B.Some people will make guesses at those reading on the train.
C.People have no Internet access on most underground trains in New York.
D.People must make a careful schedule if they are to read underground.
【4】The following may stand for the ill environment for readers on the train EXCEPT ______.
A.sardine-can
B.human panini
C.tae kwon do bout
D.keyboard harmonica
22、 Smart devices are sometimes powerful. They put a world of information at our fingertips. ―【1】That is a huge blessing for parents seeking flexible work hours. Smart phones and tablets can also promote efficiency by allowing people to get things done in spare moments that would otherwise be wasted, such as while queuing for coffee. They can even help lazybones create the false impression that they are working around the clock, by programming their e-mail to be sent at 1 am.
But for most people, the servant has become the master. Not long ago only doctors were on call all the lime. Now everybody is. Bosses think nothing of invading their employees' free time. 【2】 Even people with strong mind check their smart devices with heavy addiction, even during pre-dinner drinks, and send e-mails first thing in the morning and last thing at night.
【3】 How can we harvest the benefits of connectivity without becoming its slaves? One solution is digital dieting. Just as the abundance of junk food means that people have to be more disciplined about their eating habits, 【4】 Maybe the only way to break the 24/7 habit is to act together rather than individually. The firms should introduce rules about when people are expected to be offline, and encourage them to work together to make this possible.
We must be aware that the faster smart devices become and the more addictive the apps that are designed for them, the stronger the addiction will grow. 【5】
A. This is partly because smart devices are addictive.
B. Work invades the home far more than domestic chores invade the office.
C. Now it's time to outsmart the smart devices by insisting that everyone turn them off from time to lime.
D. the abundance of junk information means we have to be more disciplined about our browsing habits.
E. Banning texting at weekends can really show the iPhone who is boss.
F. They enable people to work at home instead of crowding into the subway with smelly strangers.
G. What can be done to keep smart devices in their place?
23、Many people think of sharks as dangerous monsters. But human beings cause a far greater danger to them than they do to us. Although shark attacks do occur, they are quite rare. According to one estimate, however, humans kill 100 million sharks every year. 【1】
Why should we save the sharks?
Sharks take up the top position on the food chain in the ocean. As sharks die off, the population of the animals that sharks consume will increase. This, in turn, means that the number of the creatures those animals eat will drop. 【2】 Fish that eat algae (藻类) are also included. This can cause algae to spread so much that it damages coral reefs.
【3】 The ocean not only produces more oxygen than all the rainforests on Earth combined, but also removes half of the man-made greenhouse gas from the atmosphere. Once sharks die off, the global ecosystem will be upset, affecting all creatures including human beings.
Don’t use shark products
First, vitamin energy drinks and leather goods can be made from shark parts. 【4】 In addition, shark meat is sold around the world, sometimes under misleading names such as rock salmon or whitefish.
Shark fin soup is a popular dish. However, the process of getting fins is cruel. Fishermen cut the shark’s fins off and then throw the shark back into the water, still alive. 【5】 Sharks breathe by swimming, so a shark that can’t swim will die.
A.It is time for children to learn about sharks.
B.Shark oil is also used in many popular beauty products.
C.Then the shark dies slowly, sometimes over several days.
D.Actually, the killing of sharks will affect the whole planet.
E.People in some countries are especially keen on shark products.
F.Among them are some sea fish that humans consume every day.
G.This number is a warning that many kinds of sharks may die out.
24、I really place many people into two categories when it comes to shopping. The first is people who simply love doing window shopping and do it quite regularly maybe because they are really good at spotting bargains. The other category, which I suppose is obvious that people who simply dislike shopping for anything. They find it very boring, laborious and frustrating and do not particularly like going to their local shopping malls for anything whatsoever. They will probably do anything to try and get away with shopping for gifts and I had the same problem until I discovered something.
The simple discovery was to shop online for everything. This is especially fantastic when you are shopping online for gifts because there are so many websites out there dedicated to supplying all kinds of gifts for every occasion you can think of. The greatest thing is that you can do this from the comfort of your own home without having to leave and sit at a computer with a nice mug of coffee to help.
Researching is always important because you need to make sure whoever you are going to purchase this before is going to like it. You need to make sure of your researched pricing to ensure that you are getting good value for money. Generally, online you will always find things cheaper than buying something in a store in your local shopping mall. The fact that the website does not have many overheads with staffing gives them the opportunity to sell products at a reduced price.
It’s also important that you make sure the website you purchase things from has a good reputation. Check their customer service and also read any feedback that they may have from customers who have already made a purchase.
【1】Why do some people like doing window shopping better?
A.Maybe because they have more time to kill.
B.Maybe because they like the bargaining occasions.
C.Maybe because they like to appear in crowded places.
D.Maybe because they don’t know how to do online shopping.
【2】The best factor for the author to shop online should be __________ .
A.he has much more space to bargain with sellers
B.he has the bravery to follow the fashions at present
C.he can surf to find so many choices just at home
D.he needn’t drive a car or take buses to find stores
【3】Why are the things online cheaper according to the author?
A.The shop owners introduce goods with bad quality.
B.The shop owners need rent an actual store.
C.The shop owners needn’t employ many workers.
D.The shop owners can’t have a good reputation.
【4】To ensure you buy things from a standard shop you can
A.call the earlier buyer for information
B.surf earlier customers’ comments on the website
C.surf to find the personal information of the shop owner
D.turn to the police for advice on the information of the shop owner

We traveled silently, hoping to have a rest and dinner_______ the rain came. Suddenly, on a lonely stretch of highway, the storm struck. It shut us in, making driving _______. We pulled off onto the shoulder of the road and_______.
Then, as though someone had_______ a faucet(水龙头), the storm ended. The thin radiance, like a spray of gold, spread from the clouds. The very road shone, and a _______arched(拱起)across the sky. It was as though this beam of_______ had been built for us alone. We could_______speak for awe(惊叹) and joy.
Most of us have experienced such lighted moments, when we_______ to understand ourselves and the world and, for a single________know the loveliness of living beings.
Here, ________, is the story of a man who remembers the day when he went swimming alone and ________ “the crazy, childish joy with which he played in the water like a fish”. He was so overwhelmed by his great happiness that he shouted again and again with joy.
Apparently almost________ may serve as the motivation(动力) of such a feeling. Whatever the source is, such experiences provide the most ________ moments of life.

26、阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
A Pleasant Surprise
For a long time, I had been longing for a piano of my own to practice on.
There was a piano shop on the street through which I went to school every day. Whenever I passed the shop, I would stop, looking at the beautiful piano which stood in the corner of the shop window. How I had been dreaming day and night to possess a piano like that!
Unfortunately, Father was just a clerk. Times were tough during the Depression, and there were five mouths to feed, besides buying coal and wood for the stove. In order to lay aside some money, on cold winter days Father walked 7 miles every day to get to work. No, he couldn’t afford to buy me an expensive piano—such an extravagance (奢侈品), though he knew that I was very anxious for one as a gift.
On my birthday, after school I went as usual to the shop window to look at the piano, but to my surprise the piano had gone. In fact, I should not have been surprised, others had the right to buy it, if they could afford to. Tears filled my eyes when I thought of not being able to see that piano any more.
Disappointed, helpless and sad, I wandered aimlessly up and down the street. About an hour later, I had just entered into our house, when I heard my mother calling me. I brushed away my tears and went into the dining-room where she was.
I could not believe my eyes.
