There is nothing in the US quite like Black Friday. Before midnight on Thursday, in malls across the US, people start queuing up outside the locked entrances of stores, making longer and longer lines, holding coupons (优惠券), sipping coffee and hot chocolate, rubbing their hands and stamping (跺脚) their feet for warmth, excitedly chatting, and waiting for the clerks to open the door when the time arrives.
Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, which fell on Nov 28，2014, “has become in recent decades a special American holiday”, said the International Business Times. Indeed, up to 147 million Black Friday shoppers were expected to put up with the dark of night and the elbows(手肘)of other shoppers so that they could bring home some bargains, according to the US National Retail Federation.
But why does the shopping festival have such a name?
The name was first used in Philadelphia in the 1970s. The streets and sidewalks of the city became so packed with traffic and crowds on the day after Thanksgiving Day that the local police did not look forward to it. Because of this, they called the day “Black Friday”, said The Huffington Post. However, others believe that Black Friday takes its name from the fact that because of the increase in sales on the day, shops are able for the first time in the year to move out of the “red” – that is, debt – and into the “black”, or profit. Businesses, of course, try to take advantage of this day. A decade ago, retailers (零售商) opened at 5 or 6 am. Now, many of the big stores open at midnight.
People really seem to like the whole experience of queuing up before midnight, “for it isn’t just about the bargains”, noted CNN. “For many shoppers, it’s just fun to be part of a large crowd. Those who go to the malls at midnight are driven by the same thing that makes a million people get together in Times Square each New Year’s Eve.”
56. Which of the following statements about Black Friday is TRUE?
A. It is a special day in the US on which government hands out coupons to customers.
B. It is a shopping festival in the US that falls on the second Friday after Thanksgiving.
C. It has been a traditional American holiday since the founding of the nation.
D. It is an opportunity for Americans to get things they want at a much lower price.
57. According to The Huffington Post, the name of “Black Friday” may be first used ______.
 A. at the beginning of the 20th century in the US
 B. by American people who expected to bring home bargains after Thanksgiving Day
 C. by the police to show their displeasure toward heavy traffic caused by shopping crowds
 D. to describe the bad weather on the day
58. According to the article, people who queue up for Black Friday ______.
 A. usually help each other to find good bargains
 B. have great fun as part of the waiting crowd
 C. have a lot of complaints about the service of the retail clerks
 D. have to wait until 5 to 6 am to start shopping
59. What is the article mainly about?
 A. The shopping habits of Americans.
 B. An introduction to the origin and influences of Black Friday.
 C. Tips on how to get good bargains on Black Friday.
 D. People’s mixed feelings toward Black Friday.
B
You may have been told before not to be afraid of anything. Fear is often associated with weakness. Fear is something to be avoided. But that’s not true, according to Time For Kids magazine. Fear can be good for us. Fear tells us about danger. Without fear, we wouldn’t know to run away from a tiger or step back from a cliff (悬崖).
In a study published in the Justice Quarterly journal in August, researchers from Michigan State University said that a healthy fear of crime keeps teenagers away from potentially dangerous people, places, and activities. Fear makes us jump, scream and sweat. But interestingly, sometimes we make ourselves feel fear on purpose. Think about scary books and movies, and also the long lines for a scary roller coaster ride (过山车).
Margee Kerr, a US sociologist, explained why to Time For Kids. Fear fills our brain with healthy chemicals, especially endorphins and dopamine, and these things create feelings of happiness and excite us, according to Kerr. In addition, when you’re scared, your body produces a chemical which helps people bond with each other.
“Watch people walking out of a haunted house (鬼屋), and you’ll see lots of smiles and high fives (击掌),” Kerr told Time For Kids. That also explains why schools and companies organize challenging trips and physical activities to build up team spirit. People experience and deal with fear in different ways. If you happen to be a “coward” who gets scared easily, don’t worry. There is some evidence that being scared can help a person manage stressful situations.
Kerr said that things like giving a report in front of your class or performing in a school play help build a sort of endurance (忍耐力) to fear that makes us more confident.“You become more comfortable with the physical experience of fear, and so you’re better able to work through it during tense situations,” said Kerr.
So learn to love your fear. It only grows when we forget how helpful our fear is trying to be.
60. What’s the best title for the passage?
A. Ways to build up team spirit.  B. Fear, a sign of weakness.
C. Love your fear     D. Different ways to deal with fear.
61. Which of the following is True according to the passage?
A. Fear is harmful to our health.
B. Fear is something to be avoided.
C. Experiencing fear helps us to build a sort of endurance to fear.
D. People who get scared easily have no chances to get changed.
62. The underlined phrase “bond with” is closest in meaning to ______.
A. get closer to   B. fight against    C. look down upon     D. be more careful with
63. Which of the following is Not mentioned to experience fear?
A. Read scary books or see scary movies.
B. Take a scary roller coaster ride.
C. Attend challenging trips or physical activities.
D. Take some medicine containing endorphins and dopamine.

The old year has just gone, you know. So it’s time to do a year summary of 2014! According to “Evening Peak News” of Voice of China, Chinese netizens have summed up top 10 network buzzwords(网络流行语)of 2014, listed in no particular order. Here are some of them. Dare you say you’ve never said one of them?
1.Rich and Bitch（任性）
Have you noticed that so many people claimed themselves “rich and bitch” in friends circle and Sina weibo. The buzzword originates(起源于) from a real event: In April, Mr. Liu spent 1760 yuan online buying a health care product. Soon after, he got calls from a stranger who persuade him to buy other matched medicines. In the following four months, Mr. Liu sent a total of 540,000 yuan to the swindler（骗子）. He said that he had already found himself cheated when he was fooled out of 70,000 yuan. "I just wanted to see how much could they take from me!"
2.It’s so beautiful that I’m too scared to open it.
This is another joke in which unsightly things are intended to be good-looking. The buzzword comes from a sentence of Jolin’s song "Prague Square", which was extended to describe strange things. For example, when you see a very shocking picture, you can use this sentence to express the visual or psychological impact.
3.So the question is……
"So the question is…" is from the advertising of Lanxiang Vocational school. In October, Zhang Le, a member of NetEase comment zone,  purposely commented with a long story in a news thread（跟帖）. At the end of the story there would be a sentence: So the question is: which is the strongest in Excavator Technology? Then after the thread was posted to the microblogging and friends circle, it has been widely reproduced.
4.It is to be cherished（珍惜）.
On March 31, 2014, Ma Yili responded to Wen Zhan g’s cheating on Sina Weibo. It reads as follows: Being in love is easy, being married is not. It is to be cherished. Soon many Internet users began to make sentences with this pattern. For example, “Eating is easy, losing weight is not. It is to be cherished.”
68. Which is the most popular network buzzword of 2014 according to “Evening Peak News” of Voice of China?
A. Rich and Bitch              B. It is to be cherished

C. “So the question is…… ” comes from a TV series.

A time capsule, buried by Apple founder Steve Jobs 30 years ago, has been discovered after its location was long forgotten. In 1983, the young tech innovator(改革者) was attending a conference in Aspen when he and the group decided to bury a time capsule during a design convention. The tube that was filled with an collection of  various goods---- ranging from the new apple mouse to a six-pack of beer for the people who discovered the time capsule---- was meant to be dug up 20 years later.      
There was a problem with that plan, however, because everyone involved in the plan forgot where it was buried. The final discovery happened at the hands of the crew from the National Geographic Channel’s reality show called Diggers. The discovery was well documented（记载） and is surely going to be featured on an upcoming episode（一集）, and even the experts had problems finding this particular treasure. CNET reports that in spite of their preparations and clear idea of where the 13-foot-long tube was, it still took them two hours to dig it up using heavy machinery. 
To anyone removed from the tech industry, the accomplishment in finding the tube appears to be the biggest accomplishment. To others, the most interesting object would likely be the“Lisa” mouse placed in the tube by the hands of a then-28-year-old Jobs. The Lisa Mouse, which Jobs named after his daughter, was one of the first commercial computer mice sold publicly, making it a rarity（罕见的东西）at the time.
The Aspen Historical Society is going to help the show creators catalogue the tube’s contents---- but no word yet whether or not the Diggers cracked open one of the six bottles of Boddington’s Ale that was left inside for the people who found the tube.
72. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The great idea of burying a time capsule.
B. The location of the time capsule buried by Jobs.
C. The surprising life of Apple founder Steve Jobs.
 D. The discovery of the time capsule buried by Jobs.
73. The time capsule buried by Jobs________.
A. was dug up 20 years later.    B. was well documented by Diggers.
C. was found by the crew of Diggers.    D. was forgotten by everyone in the world.
74.________ attracts the people from the tech industry most in the time capsule.
A. The treasure.  B. The Lisa mouse    C. Boddington’s Ale   D. Jobs’ daughter
75. What is the TRUE statement according to the passage?
A. The diggers cracked open the six bottles of Boddington’s Ale
B .The experts were sure where the time ca psule was before digging it up.
C. It was easy for Diggers’ experts to find the location of the time capsule.
D. The experts didn’t make enough preparations for digging the time capsule

The door of opportunity won’t open unless you do some pushing. Chances always favor prepared minds. The story happened when I was in high school can help illuminate the true meaning of the proverb.
On hearing the news that one student would be chosen and appointed to be the tour guide of some visiting teachers from Ireland, all of us felt excited. However, what annoyed us was that few of us could speak English fluently because most of us attached little significance to oral English. But our monitor, who practiced her listening and speaking nearly every day, was no exception. She succeeded in grasping the opportunity. Even more excitedly, she was offered a free summer camp to Ireland later.
 Contrary to common belief that she was simply luckier, I think it was her preparations in advance that led to her success. This is a lesson I can take from her success.

W: How many people turned up at the charity party?[来源:学科网ZXXK]
M: Fewer people came than we had expected. It was disappointing. We still need more money for our organization.
W: Sorry that I wasn’t able to attend. I had intended to make it, but something came up with my son.

M: Now, I am going to take a shot of your face. Say cheese! Good!
W: Let me take a look. Hmm, shall we take another shot?
Text 4
W: Let’s call it a day. We’ve been at this for hours.
M: I’m beat, too. Let’s get something to eat.
W: Sounds good. We’ll feel better with a little nutrition.

M: You should take a look at this car. It’s a real beauty.
W: This car looks like it has a lot of problems. You must think I was born yesterday if you expect me to buy it.

M: Hey, can I ask you a favor? Could I get a ride to soccer practice? I have to be there at 3 o’c lock.
W: I don’t think I can. I have a class at 3:15, but I was planning on going to the library after lunch to get some studying done. I won’t have any other time to prepare for my test tomorrow morning because I’m working from 5 o’clock until midnight tonight.

W: Could I see the manager, please? I have a complaint to make.
M:  Yes, I’m the manager here. What can I do for you, madam?
W: Did you have the room checked before we moved in?
M: Which room are you in, madam?
W: 1808. The toilet doesn’t work properly, the water doesn’t work in the shower, and the tap was leaking the whole night, so there’s water all over the bathroom floor.
M: I’m awfully sorry to hear that. The housekeeper usually checks every room before new guests move in. We have been extremely busy with a large conference these past few days. We’ll change your room to 2002. It has a beautiful view of the Pacific Ocean. And we’d like to offer you an extra night’s stay in our hotel free of charge.
W: Not bad. Thanks.
M: It’s my pleasure, madam.

M: Please feel free to sample any of our masks.
W: Excuse me, what is this used for?
M: You can mix it with different treatments such as lemon for relaxation, cucumber for sunburns. These masks are designed so that you can mix your own combinations.
W: Wow, I’m also looking for a good fall color for my nails. Do you sell nail polish here?
M: Yes, we do. However, it’s a little early in the year to have our fall colors out. Usually, we will put them out more toward September, not July.
W: Okay, that’s too bad. Thanks for your help, anyway.
M: My pleasure. Here. Please take this relaxing face wash!
W: Excellent! Thanks!

M: Hi, darling! I have a one-month vacation saved up. How about a trip to Europe?
W: I could go for that. But I’m afraid our budget is a little tight this year.
M: Oh, but I really need to leave this town for a change. Working day after day has worn me out. Do you have any other suggestions?
W: We should probably think about going somewhere that isn’t too far away. How about the countryside? There are many interesting places  we could go, and we could enjoy the fresh air and the delicious local food.
M: Wonderful! I think that’s a great idea. How long until we can make this happen? I can’t wait!
W: Tomorrow I have an appointment with my dentist. What about next Monday?
M: Perfect. I’ll start making the arrangements tomorrow. If we’re going to drive, I’ll need to fill up the tank.
W: No need. I think it’s still plenty full. Even so, I’d rather travel by bus or train. It would cost much less than driving. Gas prices are very high nowadays, you know.
M: We can take the train. It will be faster. I’ll book the tickets tomorrow morning.
W: Great! Oh, one more thing, don’t forget to check the weather forecast before we go. I’d  hate to get caught in the rain.
M: No problem. I’m really looking forward to the coming week.
W: Me, too. I’ll make a list of what we need to take with us.

W: Something smells good!
M: Hey, there you are! Sit down and I’ll open the wine.
W: Um, okay. What’s the occasion?
M: Oh, nothing. I just wanted to say thank you for letting me stay at your house for the last few days. I know it hasn’t been easy with me here.
W: Oh, it’s been great! I know this place is small, but it hasn’t been a big deal at all. To tell you the truth, living with you has been much easier than with my last roommate! Melanie was just terrible.
M: Oh, she couldn’t have been that bad…
W: Uh, she never paid her share of the rent or bills on time. She always left a huge mess in the kitchen. She would always wake me up in the middle of the night to ask me for advice about her crazy boyfriend, and she broke about five things of mine and never offered to replace them.
M: So that’s the reason you decided to live alone!
W: Bingo! So, what are you making over there?
M: We’ve got fish, potatoes, and steak. And the dessert is in the freezer.
W: Let me guess… ice cream?
M: No, it’s a cake, actually. But it needs to be kept in the freezer until right before we’re ready to eat it. It’s supposed to be delicious.
W: Did you make that yourself, too?[来源:学科网ZXXK]
M: Heavens, no! I bought it from the bakery down the street.
W: Well, I guess a three-course dinner is still pretty amazing. I didn’t know you could cook. The whole time we’ve known each other, you’ve never once mentioned anything about cooking.
M: Well, I cook a lot for myself… at least I did before I got kicked out of my apartment. Now, where is that wine?
