第1题：
CYBER MONDAY CLICKS IN WITH RECORD SALES Cyber Monday rocked while mobile sales roared. The day widely regarded as the Super Bowl of online sales created a record day for retailers, including Walmart, and marked a shift in shopping preferences as smartphones and tablets drove nearly a third of traffic — and for some retailers, more than half.? W expects to register its biggest Cyber Monday yet, coming off a record Black Friday weekend online. Heading into the afternoon Monday, the website had already sold out of PlayStation 4 and Xbox One consoles, which weren't even discounted. Significant savings on TVs and tablets also encouraged shopping, says Joel Anderson, CEO of W. Retailers from Target to Sears are fast evolving Cyber Monday into something more akin to Cyber Week, as online deals stretch well beyond Monday. As of 6 p.m. ET, sales on Amazon were up 44.3% over last year, while sales at eBay were up 32.1%, according to Channel Advisor, which tracks third-party sellers on eBay and Amazon. The online marketplaces are doing well in part because shoppers are heading to those sites to find popular products that are selling out at regular retailers, says Scot Wingo, CEO of Channel Advisor. Flash-sale site Rue La La started Cyber Monday deals on Sunday with a “Cyberthon” that drew more than 350,000 people to the site. The sale promoted as much as 80% off on more than 150 brands. On Monday, sales of Cole Haan and Pandora Jewelry merchandise were strongest, CEO Steve Davis says.

第一节:阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
阅读下面短文,并按照题目要求用英语回答问题.
Almost everybody in America will spend a part of his or her life behind a shopping cart(购物手推车). They will, in a lifetime, push the chrome-plated contraptions many miles. But few will know—or even think to ask—who it was that invented them.
Sylvan N. Goldman invented the shopping cart in 1937. At that time he was in the supermarket business. Every day he would see shoppers lugging(吃力地携带) groceries around in baskets they had to carry.
One day Goldman suddenly had the idea of putting baskets on wheels. The wheeled baskets would make shopping much easier for his customers, and would help to attract more business.
On June 4, 1937, Goldman’s first carts were ready for use in his market. He was terribly excited on the morning of that day as customers began arriving. He couldn’t wait to see them using his invention.
But Goldman was disappointed. Most shoppers gave the carts a long look, but hardly anybody would give them a try.
After a while, Goldman decided to ask customers why they weren’t using his carts. “Don’t you think this arm is strong enough to carry a shopping basket?” one shopper replied.
But Goldman wasn’t beaten yet. He knew his carts would be a great success if only he could persuade people to give them a try. To this end, Goldman hired a group of people to push carts around his market and pretend they were shopping! Seeing this, the real customers gradually began copying the phony(假冒的) customers.
As Goldman had hoped, the carts were soon attracting larger and larger numbers of customers to his market. But not only did more people come—those who came bought more. With larger, easier-to-handle baskets, customers unconsciously bought a greater number of items than before.
Today’s shopping carts are five times larger than Goldman’s original model. Perhaps that’s one reason Americans today spend more than five times as much money on food each year as they did before 1937—before the coming of the shopping cart.
56. The underlined words “chrome-plate contraptions” in Paragraph 1 refer to ______.
(No more than 3 words)
正确答案：. shopping carts

第6题：
问答题A set of golden lights hovering silently in the night sky in a “V” formation stopped traffic on the New Jersey Turnpike, but were the drivers seeing visitors from outer space or just a set of military flares flaming out?At least 15 people contacted police to report seeing strange lights in the New Jersey sky over the weekend. More than a dozen people, including two Carteret, N.J., police officers, saw the lights last weekend, and several of the witnesses described a sense of serenity that seemed to emanate from the celestial display. The gold lights hovered for awhile, according to the witnesses, and then disappeared.To some, the description sounded very much like the so-called Phoenix Lights, another V formation that appeared in the sky near Phoenix in March 1997. Like the apparition in New Jersey, the Phoenix lights were caught on videotape. The formation also matches reports of unexplained lights in the sky from all across the United States, as well as England and Europe.正确答案：
一列金色的光束在静静的夜空中盘旋成“V”字,吸引了新泽西州收费公路上司机驻足观看,以至于阻塞了新泽西州这段公路的交通。那么,司机们看到的是外星的来客吗,或者只是一些用于发送军事信号的飞行物突然冒出了火焰?
上周末,有十多人,其中包括两名新泽西州卡特雷市的警官共同目睹了这一景象,金光在空中盘旋了片刻,然后消失了。据一些目击者描述,当时四周异常平静,似乎是从空中这些物体中散发出的一种平静。
这种描述对某些人说,听来很象是所谓的“菲尼克斯之光”。1997年3月在亚利桑那州菲尼克斯市附近天空也曾出现过与这次出现在新泽西州的金光很相像的V形光束,当时还有人将其拍摄下来。另据报道,与此相似的来历不明的光束在美国的其他地方和欧洲都曾出现过。解析： 暂无解析 -

Operation Migration
If you look up at the sky in the early fall in the northern part of North America,you may see groups of birds.These birds are flying south to places where they can find food and warmth for the winter.They are migrating（迁徙）.The young birds usually learn to migrate from their parents.They follow their parents south.In one unusual case,however,the young birds are following something very different.These birds are young whooping cranes,and they are following an airplane!
The whooping crane is the largest bird that is native to North America.These birds al-most disappeared in the 1800s.By 1941,there were only about 20 cranes alive.In the 1970s, people were worried that these creatures were in danger of disappearing completely.As a result,the United States indentified whooping cranes as an endangered species that they needed to protect.
Some researchers tried to help.They began to breed whooping cranes in special parks to increase the number of birds.This plan was successful.There were a lot of new baby birds.As the birds became older,the researchers wanted to return them to nature.However,there was a problem:These young birds did not know how to migrate.They needed human help.
In 2001,some people had a creative idea.They formed an organization called Operation Migration.This group decided to use very light airplanes,instead of birds,to lead the young whooping cranes on their first trip south.They painted each airplane to look like a whooping crane.Even the pilots wore special clothing to make them look like cranes.The cranes began to trust the airplanes,and the plan worked.
Today,planes still lead birds across approximately 1,200 miles(1,931 kilometers), from the United States-Canadian border to the Gulf of Mexico.They leave the birds at differ-ent sites.If a trip is successful,the birds can travel on their own in the future.Then,when these birds become parents,they will teach their young to migrate.The people of Operation Migration think this is the only way to maintain the whooping crane population.
Operation Migration works with several other organizations and government institutes.Together,they assist hundreds of cranes each year.However,some experts predict that soon,this won't be necessary.Thanks to Operation Migration and its partners,the crane population will continue to migrate.Hopefully,they won't need human help any more.Operation Migration aims to______.
A:teach adult cranes how to fly
B:breed cranes in special parks
C:lead young cranes on their first trip south
D:transport cranes to the North答案：C解析：题干意为“美洲鹤在冬天迁徒以寻找温暖的气候与食物。”短文第一段第二句提到“这些鸟飞到南部一些地方，在那里它们可以找到食物并温暖的过冬”，故选A。

问答题Topic 6：Can shopping vouchers increase consumption? Questions for Reference: 1) To stimulate consumption, which is more effective, tax reduction or shopping vouchers? 2) What are the major purposes of issuing shopping vouchers? 3) In what way can the shopping vouchers best be distributed? Shall every citizen be given the same amount of shopping vouchers or should the vouchers be limited to the lower-income people only?正确答案： 【参考答案】
My name is my registration number is Today I will share with you my opinion about shopping vouchers. Shopping vouchers are now being widely used these days. Some economists have suggested that issuing shopping vouchers is a good way to tackle the economic crisis because it can stimulate consumers’ desire to purchase more commodities. Here is the question: Can shopping vouchers really increase consumption?
As we know, the government has worked out an economic stimulus package, trying to tap the country’s huge consumption potential. For one thing, the citizens in some places have got shopping vouchers for free. Some people think that it is a pretty effective approach and will bring immediate returns because shopping vouchers have a time limit and thus will immediately promote domestic consumption. However, the truth is: numerous people having received vouchers have chosen to cash in the vouchers and saved the money instead of shopping. To some extent, it hasn’t turned out as originally planned. Why? As some critic have said, China still has a long way to go in improving the economic environment to encourage consumption by issuing shopping vouchers. People can enjoy the happiness only when they are covered by an effective social security network and enjoy higher income.
To sum up, to stimulate Chinese residents’ consumption, the government should first guarantee a sound social security system, covering health, unemployment, education and housing, and so on. After all of these have been done, people will have enough money to spend and with the promotion of consumption, their life can be gradually improved. 解析： 暂无解析 -

Which of the following, if true, best explains why Brad was able to sell the desk for a high price at the auction while he could not sell it for a much lower price at the garage sale?ABrad advertised that the proceeds of the garage sale would benefit a local charity, while he made no such claims for the proceeds from the auction.
BOne of the legs of the desk was shorter than the other three, producing an unbalanced writing surface.
