1．The malls were filled with people seeking gifts for their loved ones．Some of the malls remained open around the clock，partly to satisfy our needs to buy gifts．
Behind the materialistic aspect of shopping for gifts lies the idea of caring，being attentive to the desires of special people in our lives．However，to use a well-worn play on words：it is our presence，not our presents，that truly counts．Many of us，unfortunately，can be so inattentive，even in the presence of our loved ones，that we might as well not be there at all．
Attention is one of the greatest gifts we can give each other．Companies around the globe spend billions every year on advertising to catch our attention for just a short moment at a time．Whole industries-media，entertainment，education-rely on the precious gift of our attention for their continued existence．A baby lacking attention for a long time is likely to be psychologically unhealthy．
In earlier times，both diet and attention could be left unregulated （没人管的） without major cause for concern．There were natural checks and balances：limited availability of food meant few got fat，for example．Similarly，in bygone times we might have spent a few hours communicating with the village storyteller； today，watching an entire TV series，while speaking to nobody，is common．In traditional societies，with smaller population，everyone would get a fair deal of attention．On many issues we might go to see Grandma or Grandpa； now we have Google and Wikipedia．
"She just wants attention．"people tend to think little of those doing things simply for attention．But the truth is that human beings need attention，and giving attention to each other is，to a large extent，what human civilization is based upon．This perhaps explains the runaway success of social networking sites such as Twitter and Facebook．While we use such sites for"micro Hogging"，"idea voicing"and"status updates"-the reality is that we are often doing no more or less than fulfilling our basic human drive for attention exchange．
I friend you，you friend me，I retweet you，you retweet me．The charming ease with which we can now get and give attention is why many people appear overly attached to their smart phones．It is also a vicious （恶性的） circle．As ever more people are busy exchanging attention online，there is increasingly lessattention to be paid in the real world，which forces more people to seek their attention exchange online，or else risk attention-starvation．
The very nature of attention exchange is being rapidly transformed，and there is a danger that some of us will develop unhealthy practices．Just as eating red meat every day is a bad idea，so it is with too much attention exchange．The biological consequences of our technological advancement in food production are highly visible； heart disease，diabetes and obesity．The consequences of our transformed attention exchanges will be psychological and social，and so may take longer to identify，but they will be equally damaging．
Face-to-face attention is becoming rarer，and therefore more valuable．In a sense it is priceless．And it is a gift that can be given all-year-round．

59．People use social networking sites such as Twitter and Facebook toD．
A．obtain information                       B．give attention to others
C．voice their opinions                     D．notice and get noticed
60．What can we infer from Paragraphs 6-7？D
A．More people will risk attention-starvation in future．
B．The nature of attention exchange is rarely changed．
C．Technological advancement contributes to all diseases．
D．Transformed attention exchanges do harm to society．
61．The writer's purpose for writing the passage is toA．
A．advocate more focus on real life attention
B．analyze the necessity of attention giving
C．give practical tips on attention exchange
D．recommend some social networking sites．

18．Afternoon tea became popular about 150years ago，when rich ladies invited their friends to their houses for an afternoon cup of tea．Usually taken in the late afternoon，it is also called"low tea"as it is served at a low table．Since this isn't a meal，but rather like a late afternoon snack，finger foods such as sandwiches，scones and pastries are common．People are not merely taking tea to get nutrition or satisfy hunger，but to take time to relax，chat and enjoy the company of dear friends．In England，the traditional time for tea is four or five o'clock in the afternoon and no one stays after seven o'clock．
This very British tradition is said to have been started around 1840by Duchess Anna Maria，wife of the 7^th Duke of Bedford，England．During the long time between an early breakfast and very late dinner，she experienced what she called"a sinking feeling"at about 4or 5in the afternoon．So she asked her maid to bring her a pot of tea，a little bread and butter and cake in her room．She found this arrangement so pleasing that she began asking her friends to join her．
High tea，a term often mixed with afternoon tea，usually takes the place of supper．In the past the British working population did not have afternoon tea．They had meals about noon and after work between five and seven o'clock．The table would be set with dinner foods like meat，bread，butter，potatoes，cheese and of course tea．It was called"high tea"because it was eaten at a high dining table rather than a low tea table．
How much do people enjoy the afternoon tea moment？As a famous writer named Henry James said，"There are few hours in life greater than the hour dedicated to（献给） the ceremony known as afternoon tea．"

28．Who started the tradition of high tea according to the passage？D
A．Duchess Anna Maria   B．the 7^th Duke of Bedford
C．Henry James         D．Some unknown working people
29．What does the underlined phrase"a sinking feeling"probably refer to？B
A．a feeling of being bored       B．a feeling of hunger
C．a feeling of missing friends   D．a feeling of shyness
30．Why does the writer mention Henry James'words？C
A．To tell us how the name"afternoon tea"came．
B．To tell us that afternoon is in fact a ceremony．
C．To show how popular afternoon tea is．
D．To show the difference between afternoon tea and high tea．
31．Which of the following statements about high tea is true according to the passage？A
A．High tea got its name because it was eaten at a high dining table．
B．Finger foods such as sandwiches and scones are common for high tea．
C．High tea is served between breakfast and lunchtime．
D．High tea has taken the place of low tea as afternoon tea．

5．

We've considered several ways of paying to cut inline：hiring line standers，buying tickets from scalpers （票贩子），or purchasing line cutting privileges directly from，say，an airline or an amusement park．Each of these deals replaces the morals of the queue （waiting your turn） with the morals of the market （paying a price for faster service）．
Markets and queues-paying and waiting-are two different ways of allocating things，and each is appropriate to different activities．The morals of the queue，"First come，first served，"have an egalitarian（平等主义的） appeal．They tell us to ignore privilege，power，and deep pockets．
The principle seems right on play grounds and at bus stops．But the morals of the queue do not govern all occasions．If I put my house up for sale，I have no duty to accept the first offer that comes along，simply because it's the first．Selling my house and waiting for a bus are different activities，properly governed by different standards．
Sometimes standards change，and it is unclear which principle should apply．Think of the recorded message you hear，played over and over，as you wait on hold when calling your bank："Your call will be answered in the order in which it was received．"This is essential for the morals of the queue．It's as if the company is trying to ease our impatience with fairness．
But don't take the recorded message too seriously．Today，some people's calls are answered faster than others．Call center technology enables companies to"score"incoming call sand to give faster service to those that come from rich places．You might call this telephonic queue jumping
Of course，markets and queues are not the only ways of allocating things．Some goods we distribute by merit，others by need，still others by chance．However，the tendency of markets to replace queues，and other non-market ways of allocating goods is so common in modern life that we scarcely notice it anymore．It is striking that most of the paid queue-jumping schemes we've considered-at airports and amusement parks，in call centers，doctors offices，and national parks-are recent developments，scarcely imaginable three decades ago．The disappearance of the queues in these places may seem an unusual concern，but these are not the only places that markets have entered．

10．According to the author，which of the following seems governed by the principle"First come，first served"？A
A．Taking buses．
B．Buying houses．
C．Flying with an airline．
D．Visiting amusement parks．
11．The example of the recorded message in Paragraphs 4and 5illustratesC．
A．the necessity of patience in queuing
B．the advantage of modern technology
C．the uncertainty of allocation principle
D．the fairness of telephonic services
12．The passage is meant toB．
A．justify paying for faster services
B．discuss the morals of allocating things
C．analyze the reason for standing in line
D．criticize the behavior of queue jumping．

15．Are you a gourmand（美食主义者）？Do you want to eat every delicious food in the world？Then do you watch the popular program？"A Bite of China"is a documentary on Chinese delicious food which has been broadcasted by CCTV．Is there any holiday that isn't celebrated with a special festival food？Here are several traditional Chinese foods：
Eggs hold a special meaning in many cultures，and China is no exception．The Chinese believe eggs mean producing something new．After a baby is born，parents may hold a"red egg and ginger party，"where they pass out eggs to announce the birth．In some areas of China the number of eggs represents the sex of the child，for example，an odd number for a girl，and an even number when a boy has been born．
Noodles are a symbol of long life in Chinese culture．They are as much a part of a Chinese birthday celebration as a birthday cake with lit candles is in many countries．Since noodles represent long life，it is considered very unlucky to cut it off．
Although westerners sometimes may be very sorry to see fish lying on a plate，in China a whole fish is a symbol of richness．In fact，at a party it is traditional to serve the whole fish last，pointed toward the valued guest．Fish also has a special meaning because the Chinese word for fish，yu，sounds like the word for richness or plenty，and it is believed that eating fish will help your wishes come true in the year to come．
A very popular dish during the Dragon Boat Festival is Zongzi．This tasty dish is made of rice dumplings with meat，peanut or other delicious food in bamboo leaves．The tradition of Zongzi is meant to remind us of a great patriot，Qu Yuan．
The 50-minute program tries to bring something new by presenting more cultural elements，such as eating habits and the quality of eating．
32．A bite of China isA．
A．a documentary
B．a book
C．a magazine
D．a newspaper
33．A girl has been born in Mr．Li's home．How many red eggs may he pass out to his friends according to Chinese tradition？C

A．We can cut birthday noodles off in China if we think they are too long．
B．It is impolite to serve a whole fish last at a party in China．
C．The program lasts for one hour only．
D．There are many kinds of Zongzi during the Dragon Boat Festival．
35．What does the writer mean in the last paragraph？B

B．The writer thinks the program has more meanings inside than the story itself．
