15．"Mama，when I grow up，I'm going to be one of those!"I said this after seeing the Capital Dancing Company perform when I was three．It was the first time that my dream had taken on a vivid form and acted as something important to start my training．As I grew older and was exposed to more，my interests in the world of dance certainly varied but that little girl's dream of someday becoming a dancer in the company never left me．In the summer of 2005when I was 18，I received the phone call which made that dream a reality：I became a member of the company dating back to 1925．
As I look back on that day now，it surely lacks any sense of reality．I believe I stayed in a state of pleasant disbelief until I was halfway through rehearsals （排练） on my first day．I never actually expect to get the job．After being offered the position，I was completely astonished．I remember shaking with excitement．
Though I was absolutely thrilled with the chance，it did not come without its fair share of challenge．Through the strict rehearsal period of dancing six days a week，I found it vital to pick up the material fast with every last bit of concentration．It is that extreme attention to detail （细节） and stress on practice that set us apart．To then follow those high-energy rehearsals with a busy show schedule of up to five performances a day，I discovered a new meaning of the words"hard work．"What I thought were my physical boundaries were pushed much further than I thought possible．I learned to make each performance better than the last．
Today，when I look at the unbelievable company that I have the great honor of being a part of，not only as a member，but as a dance captain，I see a tradition that has inspired not only generations of little girls but a splendid company that continues to develop and grow-and inspires people every day to follow their dreams．

29．How many years has the Capital Dancing Company existed when the author received the phone call from it？C
A.180    B.1925    C.80   D.2005
30．How did the author feel when she look back on that day now？C
A．strange    B．indifferent  C．unrealistic   D．lucky
31．Which of the following statement can best interpret the underlined sentence in paragraph 3？B
A．Though I was excited，I should share the chance with others．
B．Though I was excited，I know clearly where there is chance there is challenge．
C．Though I was excited，it's a challenge for me to share the chance with others．
D．Though I was excited，it's fair to share the chance when there is challenge．

分析 作者通过自己的故事告诉我们：有了梦想，有了努力，就有未来．

解答 CCB
29  C   计算题．根据第一段最后两行In the summer of 2005 when I was 18，I received the phone call which made that dream a reality：I became a member of the company dating back to 1925．可知作者是2005年接到电话的，而这家公司开始于1925年，那么有80年了．故选C．
30   C    细节题．根据第2段第一句it surely lacks any sense of reality可知作者认为当时很不现实．故C正确．
31    B 猜测句意题．根据句意可知结果我很兴奋，但是我清楚的知道自己该做什么，it did not come without its fair share of challenge．只要自己努力了，就有成功的机会．故选B．

5．Human beings have used tools for a very long time．In some parts of the world you can still find tools that people used more than two million years ago．They made these tools by hitting one stone against another．In this way，they broke off pieces from one of the stones．These chips of stone were usually sharp on one side．People used them for cutting meat and skin from dead animals，and also for making other tools out of wood．Human beings needed to use tools because they did not have sharp teeth like other meat eating animals，such as lions and tigers．Tools helped people to get food more easily．
Working with tools also helped to develop human intelligence．The human brain grew bigger，and human beings began to invent more and more tools and machines．The stone chip was one of the first tools that people used，and perhaps it is the most important．Some scientists say that it was the key to success of mankind．
Since 1960a new kind of tool has appeared．This is the silicon chip （硅芯片）．It is smaller than a finger nail，but it can store lots of information．It is an electronic brain．Every year these chips get cleverer，but their size gets smaller，and their cost gets less．They are used in watches，calculators and intelligent machines that we can use in many ways．In the future we will not need to work with tools in the old way．Machines will do everything for us．People will have plenty of spare time．But what will they do with it？
Human beings used stone chips for more than two million years，but human life changed very little in that time．We have used silicon chips for only a few years，but life is changing faster every day．What will life be like twenty years from now？What will the world be like two million years from now？
64．From paragraph 1，we can knowC．
A．why early human beings cut skin from dead animals
B．how early human beings discovered the tools
C．what early human beings used the tools for
D．what food early human beings stored
65．The stone chip is thought to be the most important tool because itA．
A．was very important to the development of mankind

C．developed cooking abilities of mankind
D．was one of the first tools of mankind

C．give an example of using tools

A．out of order

6．Nothing says love like a dozen long-stemmed roses on Valentine's Day．More than a million roses will be sold during this festival for lovers，the biggest day of the year for the nation's rose industry．It's going to remain the most popular flower because love never goes out of style．
Yes，a rose is a rose is a rose．But selling them is no longer a beautiful experience for traditional flower shops．Supermarkets now offer convenience to the busy and discount rose shops help those hopelessly in love save money．Roses only is a good example of a discount rose retailer that was transformed from a traditional shop to answer the challenge in the'90s．
Inside this store on Sixth Avenue near 40 th Street，contemporary white furniture and wall-to-wall mirrors give it an expensive look．Customers move about freely among the counters，looking eagerly at the roses in more than 50 colors from shelf to shelf．Some customers say it's the high quality of the roses that attracts them there．"I spent﹩20 but the flowers looked like I paid 60 or 70 dollars，"says one customer．
Studies show more people are buying roses in ones，two and threes these days．In fact，more than half of all roses are sold in bunches of fewer than a dozen．But Roses Only's low prices encourage people to spend．Even on Valentine's Day，when the price of a dozen roses and delivery can soar as high as﹩150，12 of Roses Only's most expensive flowers sell for just﹩35．The company's key to success is to hold prices down by controlling every link in the rose chain．It grows its own roses in the sunshine of the Andes Mountains．In addition，the company also sells other items such as ballons and stuffed animals．
While discount rose retailers are witnessing their business bloom，U．S．rose growers aren't able to compete with the fierce foreign competition．More than 57% of roses sold in the USA are grown in other countries．The biggest foreign producers are Colombia and Ecuador，which accounted for almost 90% of the total imported last year．The trend has hurt domestic rose growers such as Johnson Flowers of California，considered to be this country's leading producer．
Now，instead of fighting overseas rivals，the Johnsons are trying to work with them．"We have a few big fighting overseas rivals，the Johnsons are trying to work with them．"We may also widen our business to include the service area and be a representative for overseas flower producers．"
As a result of severe competition，those in the rose business long for the good old days，whereas ordinary people benefit from the low price．

60．What is the central theme of this text？C
A．The US rose business is going from bad to worse in spite of the efforts made．
B．The rose will remain the most popular flower as love never goes out of date．
C．The rose business is trying to meet the challenges in the market to succeed．
D．The rose industry plays an important role in American economy．
61．How does Roses Only obtain success in the discount rose retailing field？C
A．By setting up more chain stores across the country．
B．By selling roses in supermarkets．
C．By selling high quality roses at a low price．
D．By selling roses by the dozen．

20．Chinese consumers'crazy appetite for luxury goods and  services appears unstoppable，with just 2percent of the  Chinese population responsible for one-third of the world's  luxury items．
As  China's  economic  miracle  develops，the  market  opportunities for all sorts of luxury goods and services are  increasing．Luxury consumption in China now extends ways  beyond well-known car，clothing and jewelry brands．For  example，the luxury jet market in China is the fastest-growing  in the world，even  outstripping that of the United States，with a market share of 25percent．This trend appears to continue，with 20to 30percent growth expected in China，compared with only 2to 3percent in the US．But more importantly，China's luxury jet market growth represents a major development in the private consumption of luxury items．
China's high-quality red wine market also provides evidence of the growth in private consumption of luxury goods．In 2013，China became the largest market for red wine in the world，even overtaking France，with 1.86billion bottles consumed in China last year．Over the past five years，China's red wine consumption has grown 136percent．
According to my ongoing consumer research in this area while working at the University of International Business and Economics in Beijing，public consumption of such expensive global luxury brands such as Prada and Armani is easily explained by the desire to"gain face"and publicly display social climbing through material possessions．On the other hand，it is"self-reward"that lies behind consumer motivation in this area．Chinese consumers who have experienced rapid financial and economic gains appear particularly prone to the need to reward themselves for their success．But this has little to do with"gaining face"and impressing others and much more to do with the need for personal contentment．
Finally，the growth in private luxury consumption in China is set to continue in part due to the maturity of the Chinese consumer and advancement of Chinese consumer  culture generally．

30．What can we learn from Paragraph 2and 3？B

C．The luxury jet market in the US shares 25% of the jet consumption in the world．
D．China's red wine consumption has increased to 1.86billion bottles since 2013．

5．Cleveland has won the distinction of being the worst city in the United States，according to a new survey．The city has high unemployment，terrible weather，heavy taxes，and ordinary sports teams，all of which have pushed it to the No.1 position in the Forbes．com list．
"Cleveland was the only city that fell in the bottom half of rankings in all nine categories．And it has been entitled with a less than endearing nickname：the Mistake by the lake，"Forbes said on its website，
The economic downturn hit cities across the United States last year particularly in the mid-west section of the country．Crime and unemployment secured the No.2 spot for Stockton，which held the top position in last year's ranking．Memphis got third place thanks to its violent crime rate and the number of officials who are guilty，while the poor auto industry drove the Michigan cities of Detroit and Flint into the top five．
"A lot of the cities that showed up on our list are going through hard times fight now，dealing with high unemployment，with declining producing bases．Many have experienced strong movement out of the city over the last 20 and 30 years．"
Despite （尽管） its fine weather，Miami scored in the bottom 10 percent in commuting （上下班往返） time，and violent crime which sent it into sixth place．
"One of the biggest surprises is Miami．The good weather and no state income taxes blur some of the severe problems that Miami has related to crime as well as long commutes，"Badenhausen added．
Florida was followed in the poor ranking by St Louis，Buffalo，Canton，Ohio and Chicago，which has the country's highest sales tax at 10.25 percent．New York，the nation's biggest city，is rich in culture but its lengthy commuting time and high income taxes pushed it into 16th place．
