• 2．Twice every month，Miranda Sam，a 66-year-old Ghanaian，visited the China Traditional Herbal Hospital，a private herbal facility at Pokuase，a suburb of the Ghanaian capital，for treatment.
     "I was squeezing lemons，and when I finished，I could not get up or even move my legs，so I went to the hospital and did an X-ray examination，but they saw nothing.Meanwhile，I could not walk and was in a wheelchair，" the retired worker said.Hence Miranda decided to visit the herbal facility. "On two occasions，I had to do acupuncture（針灸），and I have found great relief.Now I walk unaided，so I keep coming for treatment，" she said.
     As Traditional Chinese Medicine （TCM） is gaining popularity in Ghana，many acupuncture clinics run by Chinese doctors pop up in the country.However，the China Traditional Herbal Hospital was established by 52-year-old Ghanaian business owner Bediako，after his fruitful encounter with the effects of TCM in 2012.With the help of a Chinese lady，Bediako set up a small clinic specializing in TCM.Years on，the facility has subsequently grown into a bigger herbal hospital.The hospital treats patients with a combination of local and Chinese herbal formulas.It supports this with the application of traditional Chinese medical methods.
     Strokes（中風(fēng)） account for 1.3 percent of all hospital admissions in Ghana，and 6.3 percent of all hospital deaths.But Bediako is confident that as more people with these conditions turn to the natural methods of healing，the pain and death rates would subside. "A gentleman was brought here three weeks ago，who could not sit，stand，or walk.He was first taken through acupuncture.I observed him on camera 30 minutes later，squatting（蹲），standing，and walking.You come here with your pain but will leave with a smile.That is our feature，" he said.
     The hospital has started a second facility in Ashaiman near the capital，with plans to open other branches across the country to meet the growing demand.
  
  （1）What can we learn from Miranda's words in Paragraph 2？

  
  A．Her illness is not a bit severe.
  B．Squeezing lemons is a risky job.

  （2）What do we know about Bediako's hospital？

  
  A．It is located in the downtown area.
  B．It was originally a specialized clinic.
  C．It was established by a Chinese doctor.
  D．It uses nothing but Chinese herbs.
  （3）What does the underlined word "subside" in Paragraph 4 mean？

  
  A．Decline.
  B．Remain.
  C．Climb.
  D．Change.
  （4）What's the writer's probable attitude towards the TCM in Ghana？

• 3．The paper，published in May by the Journal of Marketing Research，analyzed purchases made from a single large European retailer and found that free shipping did encourage customers to buy more.But it also increased purchases of items that historically have higher return rates，such as clothing or products from lesser-known brands.Thus，returns also increased as a result of the promotions，to the point where profits were erased.
     In one part of the paper，during the typically four-week periods when free shipping was offered，online order volumes rose 11%.But when the cost of returns was compared with the sales proceeds（收入），the authors calculated that on balance the results for the promotion periods amounted to an average 0.7% loss.
     In one analysis that ran for two months，the researchers found that the return rate for customers who bought low-risk products - like office supplies，or products from well-known brands - averaged about 22%.
     In another analysis，the researchers attempted to better understand motivations of online shoppers by measuring their attitudes toward free shipping.They found two things were happening.First，consumers saw free shipping as compensation for taking a risk on a product.Second，feelings of gratitude for having shipping costs eliminated（消除） made them happy and thus more willing to make a risky purchase.
     Prof.Neslin advises companies to look at whether their own free-shipping promotions are profitable before they launch such campaigns.Also，he advises companies to identify which products get returned more often than others and try to provide customers with more information about those products，so they can make more-informed choices.
  
  （1）What erased the profits according to the first paragraph？

  
  A．The risky customers.
  B．The European retailer.
  C．The returned items.
  D．The lesser-known brands.
  （2）What can we learn from the passage？

  
  A．Consumers risked purchasing a product when free shipping came along with it.
  B．Free shipping encouraged customers to buy products from well-known brands.
  C．Online order volumes rose only when free shipping was offered as compensation.
  D．Purchases of office supplies also increased during the typically four-week periods.
  （3）What are companies advised to do according to Prof.Neslin？

  
  a.Design profitable free-shipping promotions.
  b.Make sure they have shipping costs removed.
  c.Provide more information about their products.
  d.Distinguish products with higher returned rates.
  A．a(chǎn)bc
  B．a(chǎn)bd
  C．a(chǎn)cd
  D．bcd
  （4）What is the paper mainly about？

  
  A．Low-risk products.
  B．Return rates.
  C．Increased purchases.
  D．Free shipping.

第二節(jié)（滿分25分）

• 9．閱讀下面材料，根據(jù)其內(nèi)容和所給段落開頭語續(xù)寫兩段，使之構(gòu)成一篇完整的短文。
      Many years ago，I had a friend named Jonathan who lived only a few houses down the street.He was a cool kid and a real friend and in retrospect（回想） I can see he had all the usual qualities and hang-ups of a typical boy.He was fun to be with because of his innocent enthusiasm，and he knew all the best places to hang out in the neighborhood.
      The best part about Jonathan，though，was his dog.This is not to say that my friend was any less memorable than his pet，but that dog had a very special quality.A friendly Labrador that never met anyone he didn't like，or immediately want to lick，Bowzer was born without any vocal chords （聲帶）.He simply couldn't bark though he behaved just like any other dog.
      Even though he couldn't make any sounds，Bowzer surely made his presence known anyway.We couldn't play a pickup baseball game in the neighborhood park without an extra infielder，outfielder，base runner，or bellboy running around on four paws.It looked like his life depended on bumping into every single player on the field，regardless of which team that player played on.For all of us，it became an accepted part of our playtime that Bowzer would somehow be involved in whatever activity we decided on.
      Then，one day，something terrible happened to Jonathan.His parents were called away to the hospital because his grandmother was ill，and so Jonathan was left at home by himself.Two men had chosen that house for an unannounced visit.
     Jonathan was in his bedroom and heard the noise from the break-in，and because of panic，he didn't scream for help.Bowzer was in the bedroom，and heard the noise as well，but because of his birth defect（缺陷），he couldn't make a sound.As Jonathan read a book，the robbers made their way through the entire house and probably figured that no one was home.
  注意：
  1.續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右；
  2.請按如下格式在答題卡的相應(yīng)位置作答。
  One of the robbers opened the door to Jonathan's bedroom，and was frightened to find a boy in the bed.________________
  Luckily，Jonathan survived that horrific gunshot without any physical injuries，and he loved his dog more afterwards._________________
