Peanuts to This
Proudly reading my words, I glanced aroundthe room, only to find my classmates bearing big smiles on their faces andtears in their eyes. Confused, I glanced toward my stone-faced teacher.
Having no choice, I slowly raised the reportI had slaved over, hoping to hide myself. "What could be causing everyone to act this way?"
Quickly, I flashed back to the day MissLancelot gave me the task. This was the first real task I received in my newschool. It seemed simple: go on the Internet and find information about a mannamed George Washington. Since my idea of history came from an ancient teacherin my home country, I had never heard of that name before. As I searched thename of this fellow, it became evident that there were two people bearing thesame name who looked completely different! One invented hundreds of uses forpeanuts, while the other led some sort of army across America. I stared at thescreen, wondering which one my teacher meant. I called my grandfather for agolden piece of advice: flip (掷) a coin. Heads--the commander, and tails--the peanuts guy. Ah!Tails, my report would be about the great man who invented peanut butter,George Washington Carver.
Weeks later, standing before this unfriendlymass, I was totally lost. Oh well, I lowered the paper and sat down at my desk,burning to find out what I had done wrong. As a classmate began hisreport, it all became clear, "My report is on George Washington, the manwho started the American Revolution." The whole world became quiet! Howcould I know that she meant that George
Washington?
Obviously, my grade was awful. Heartbrokenbut fearless, I decided to turn this around. I talked to Miss Lancelot, but sheinsisted: no re-dos; no new grade. I felt that the punishment was notjustified, and I believed I deserved a second chance. Consequently, I threwmyself heartily into my work for the rest of the school year. Ten months later,that chance unfolded as I found myself sitting in the headmaster´s office withmy grandfather, now having an entirely different conversation. I smiled andflashed back to the embarrassing moment at the beginning of the year as theheadmaster informed me of my option to skip the sixth grade. Justice is sweet!

根据以下材料，回答{TSE}题
I have been consistently opposed tofeeding a baby regularly. As a doctor, mother and scientist in childdevelopment, I believe there is nothing to recommend it, from the baby´s pointof view.
Mothers, doctors and nurses alike have noidea of where a baby’s blood sugar level lies. All we know is that a low levelis harmful to brain development and makes a baby easily annoyed. In this state,the baby is difficult to calm down and sleep is impossible. The baby asks forattention by crying and searching for food with its mouth.
It is not just unkind but also dangerous tosay a four-hourly feeding schedule will make a baby satisfied. The first of theexperts to advocate a strict clock-watching schedule was Dr Frederic Truby Kingwho was against feeding in the night. I´ve never heard anything so ridiculous.Baby feeding shouldn´t follow a timetable set by the mum. What is important isfeeding a baby in the best way, though it may cause some inconvenience in thefirst few weeks.
Well, at last we have copper-bottomedresearch that supports demand feeding and points out the weaknesses of strictlytimed feeding. The research finds out that babies who are fed on demand dobetter at school at age 5,7,11 and 14, than babies fed according to the clock.By the age of 8, their IQ (智商) scores are four to five percent higher than babies fed by a rigidtimetable. This research comes from Oxford and Essex University using a sample(样本) of 10,419 children born in the early 1990s, takingaccount of parental education, family income, a child´s sex and age, the mother´shealth and feeding style. These results don´t surprise me. Feeding according toschedule runs the risk of harming the rapidly growing brain by taking noaccount of sinking blood sugar levels.
I hope this research will put an end toadvocating strictly timed baby feeding practices.
{TS} What does the author think aboutDr King?
A、He is strict.

C、The baby will have a low blood sugarlevel.
D、The baby will grow to be wiser by the ageof 8.

A new retail phenomenon from Japan whichallows customers to walk away with free products is to launch in Britain. Fromtomorrow, visitors to Sample Trend´s central London store can try anything onits shelves, and all of the products can be taken home without charge.
For a nominal annual membership fee of ￡ 60, users are free toenter the shop once a month and help themselves to no less than ￡ 250 worth of goods every year. The only "catch" is that shoppersare asked to complete a simple questionnaire about each product they try. Knownas "try-vertising", the concept allows manufacturers to test productsand receive consumer feedback (反馈) before launchingonto the open market. It is already a sensation in Japan and now looks set to transformthe fortunes of the embattled UK retail industry. If thing goes well, countriessuch as Germany and France will give it a try. According to new figures, storesare facing a Christmas crisis with the weakest high street trading for sixmonths. Michael Ghosh, the founder behind Sample Trend, said: "The concept behind Sample Trend isunique in the UK. It allows shoppers the opportunity to walk away with a numberof real, full-size products of their choosing without handing over a penny."The concept of in-store try-vertising is simple but effective. Businessesacross all sectors, from cosmetic manufacturers to beverage makers, place newproducts on the shelves at
Sample Trend and wait for consumers to trythem out.
Customers complete a short 10-pointquestionnaire about the product, and the feedback they provide is used to makeany finishing touches before the product is brought officially to market. The SampleTrend store stocks everything from cosmetics, food and drink, and householdgoods. Ghosh, the former advertising and sales director for Disney Europe, saidsuch feedback may also build brand loyalty from the outset--a particularlyappealing prospect for new businesses.
{TS} The most attractive part of theidea for customers is that ________
A、they only pay ￡ 60 for a life-longmembership
B、they can help to make the products better
C、it won't take much time to finish thequestionnaire
D、they can take things home without payingfor them

1、D2、B3、B4、A5、D6、A7、C8、C9、A10、D11、B12、D13、A14、A15、C16、B17、C18、D19、C20、A21、D22、C23、B24、A25、D26、B27、A28、C29、D30、A31、A32、B33、D34、B35、C36、A37、B38、C39、B40、A41、D42、B43、C44、B45、D46、C47、D48、C49、A50、C
1
考查冠词。第一个空修饰“中国的人口”，表示特指，用定冠词the；第二个空表示人口的数目，则需用不定冠词a。
2
考查形容词比较级。句意为“——我们现在去看他好吗?——恐怕不行。这个周末可能更好。”本题中有两个时间点“right now”和“this weekend”，针对同一个动作涉及时间的比较，要用比较级。故选B。
3
考查连词辨析。句意为“除非你告诉我们怎么了，否则我们帮不了你”。unless意为“除非：如果不”，相当于if…not，引导条件状语从句。其他三项，since“因为；既然；自从”，if“如果”，when“当……时”，均不符合题意。故选B。
4
考查副词辨析。luckily“幸运地”，hopefully“充满希望地”，gladly“高兴地”．normally“正常地”。句意为“虽然我的钱包上周弄丢了，但幸运的是钱包里没有许多钱”，故选A。
5
考查强调句。该强调句的结构为：It is+被强调部分+that+其他部分。本题强调的是地点状语，其中包含一个where引导的定语从句，修饰the Future Mall。句意为“她妹妹就在你买上衣的那个未来购物中心工作”。
6
考查不定代词。句意为“——你想吃点面条吗，西莉亚?——是的，请来一点点。”a few和alittle具有名词和形容词的性质，它们都表示肯定，意思是“少数，少量”。它们的不同点是：a few指代或修饰可数名词的复数，a little指代或修饰不可数名词。few和little都表示否定，意思是“几乎一点没有”，few指代或修饰可数名词的复数，little指代或修饰不可数名词。noodles“面条”，是可数名词复数，再根据句意表示肯定意思，所以用a few修饰。
7
考查时态。根据语境可知，以前的同学现在不在美国，也就是说在美国的时间是过去的，所以用一般过去时，故选C。
8
考查情态动词表推测的用法。根据所提供的情景“他看上去很高兴”可推测他一定通过了考试。Should have done“本应该做却没有做”，could have done“本可以做却没有做”，must have done“过去一定做了”，might have done“过去可能做了”。故本题选C。
9
考查交际用语。根据语境可知一方希望休假一周，而另一方则说现在工作太忙。既然说工作太忙，那么一定是不同意他休假。A项的Forget it可以用来安慰对方，表示委婉地拒绝，意为“算了吧，不行，休想”，较为准确地表达出了上下文的意思。Don’t mention it“不必谢”，Don’t worry“别担心”，Pardonme“再说一遍”，这些内容不适于此语言情景。
10
考查it的用法。句意为“她是外国人的事实使她很难在那个国家找到一份工作”。分析该句子成分，The fact that she was foreign是主语，made是谓语，这里用it作形式宾语，真正的宾语是后面的不定式to get a job in that country。make it difficultfor sb．to do sth．意为“使某人做某事有困难”。
11
考查动词不定式。句意为“我们很惊奇地发现这座庙宇仍然保持原状”。be astonished后应该跟动词不定式作状语，用来说明惊讶的原因。故选B。
12
考查动词短语辨析。句意为“铃声响了，每个学生都得上交考卷”。give up“放弃，投降”，give away“赠送，分发，泄露”，giveout“发出，分发，用完”，give in“呈交；交上(试卷等)”。故选D。
13
考查非限制性定语从句。句意为“童年时。杰克在一所乡村学校上学，这所学校是以他爷爷的名字命名的”。该旬为非限制性定语从旬，从句中缺少主语，所以用which引导，指代先行词village school。
14
考查动词辨析。promise“允诺，使很有可能，有指望或希望”，agree“同意，赞成”，pretend“假装”，refuse“拒绝”。结合句意“这部新电影有希望成为有史以来最赚钱的电影之一”可知A项正确。
15
考查固定用法。Be worth doing sth．意为“值得做某事”，用主动形式表达被动含义。句意为“——你认为这本书怎么样?——太好了，它值得再读一遍。”故选C。
16
考查副词辨析。quietly“安静地”，hurriedly“匆忙地”，happily“快乐地”，loudly“大声地”。从该词所修饰的动词ran by以及后文中的Even in a rush可知，这个年轻人很着急，是在匆忙地赶路。故选B。
