1．Not many women have won the Nobel Peace Prize．Until 2004，no African woman ever had．That was when Dr．Wangari Maathai won it-for planting trees．You might ask，what do trees have to do with peace？
"Many wars are fought over resources，"Dr．Maathai said as she accepted the prize．"If we conserve resources better，the fighting will stop．"
Dr．Maathai was born in Kenya in 1940．Unlike most African women，she went to school．High school woke up a hunger in her for more knowledge．She went to college in Kansas and earned a master's degree in science from the University of Pittsburgh．She became the first Kenyan woman ever to earn a Ph．D．Later，Dr．Maathai taught animal science at Kenya's University of Nairobi．
As an educated woman，Dr．Maathai feels responsible for leading others．Dr．Maathai started her work in 1977 by planting nine trees in her backyard in Kenya．Trees are important in Africa for several reasons．First，they keep soil from eroding （流失） into streams，thus cutting down on pollution and improving the soil．Second，trees provide firewood．So many trees have been cut down in Africa that women must walk far from home to find wood for cooking．New trees can also keep deserts from spreading．
Dr．Maathai's Green Belt Movement pays local women for every tree they plant that is still alive three months later．In its first 15 years，the Green Belt Movement employed at least 50，000 women and planted more than 10 million trees．Following Dr．Maathai's example，the Kenyan government increased its own tree-planting efforts．The movement has spread to 30 countries in Africa．
When the land and people's lives have improved，Dr．Maathai says，peace will follow．

2．Sam Martin，24，from Belfast
I do all my shopping on Christmas Eve because I prefer to get it done quickly．I certainly don't enjoy shopping．It doesn't matter when I shop-I probably won't buy gifts that people will want anyway．I just look at what's for sale and choose from whatever is there．I am never disappointed because I never have any idea what to buy anyone before I get to the shop，and I don't care about getting it at the best price．
Lucy Collins，34，from Liverpool
I've always finished all my shopping by the middle of August．I buy when things are cheap and when I can afford to．I also enjoy trying to buy as many gifts as possible at less than the full price．This year，I've spent￡230 and saved￡695 on the prices．
I think Christmas is a magical time so I like looking for gifts throughout the year．I also like knowing I've bought presents that people will enjoy，rather than picking through whatever is left in the shops on Christmas Eve．
Frankie Bircham，31，from Hertfordshire
I've always finished shopping by the end of September．I like the satisfaction of giving people presents they want-I don't like"Oh，that'll do"．I prefer to buy online so I can compare prices to make sure I'm getting the best possible deal．It's cheaper than travelling into London to go shopping and I can easily return anything I don't like when it arrives．
Andi Euridge，40，from London
I start my shopping in January and have always finished it by November．I don't like online shopping because then you have the craziness of parcels （包裹）not arriving in time．
I live on a tight budget （預算） and I cannot afford to buy all my gifts with one month's pay．So I prefer picking up a present here and there throughout the year．
（1）We can learn from the text that Sam Martin．
A．is an organized shopper
B．hates shopping in a hurry
C．a(chǎn)lways buys presents at a discount
D．enjoys doing some last-minute shopping
（2）What do Lucy Collins and Frankie Bircham have in common？

B．It's not much cheaper than shops．
C．Returning the goods troubles him．
D．It causes anxiety when parcels don't arrive in time．

D．Frankie Bircham．組卷：40引用：1難度：0.7 -
3．
Fashion has always been about change-creating a reason for the customer to buy something new．The next 30 years of the sale will be all about the customer's interests．And it will be up to traders to keep up with their every desire （需求）．"The easiest thing to say is，it will be different，"says Nordstrom，president of one of America's oldest department stores．"There still will be customers who desire a fresh new product．What that product is，how we satisfy the customer，that's open．"
In many ways，this"different"world that Nordstrom describes has already existed in stores across the USA，with technology as the driving force．Think digital （數(shù)字的） fitting rooms，where technology simulates （模擬） body type and gives shoppers a sense of how a coat might look or fit．Or 3-D printers that allow shoppers to make products in their own homes．Even smartphone technology is being developed to let traders get a shopper's personal data to learn about their tastes and interests．
Stores will still have a presence，but mainly just to let customers have a sensory experience-touching and feeling items they can buy from far away and having them shipped．Where customers shop，increasingly，won't matter．A person could shop from home，from a car or even on the subway．
Intel has designed a mirror that shows shoppers how clothes look on them-avoiding the inconvenience of a fitting room．When the shopper of the future is ready to check out，a cellphone will do．"The cash registers （收銀機） of today won't exist anymore，"Nordstrom says．"We see the future of point of sale as completely mobile，but don't expect stores filled with robots rather than salesmen．"
（1）What does the underlined part in Paragraph 1 mean？
A．It's not a secret．
B．It is not so clear．
C．We don't know what to do．
D．We haven't discussed it yet．
（2）The author explains the existence of the different world in Paragraph 2 by．
A．presenting research findings
B．making comparisons
C．giving instructions
D．using examples
（3）According to Nordstrom，what will probably disappear in the future？
A．Salesmen．
B．Stores．
C．Cash registers．
D．Mirrors．
（4）What's the best title for the text？
A．Future of shopping
B．Fashion in the future
C．Time to change your shopping habits
D．Online shopping and shopping in stores．組卷：22引用：1難度：0.5

Someone told me that Li Ming had stolen a pen out my deskmate．I felt I should let my deskmate knew，and before I told my deskmate about it，he asked Li Ming about it．He didn't admit steal the pen and it caused a terribly argument between them．Later it turned out that the story wasn't true，and my deskmate refuses to talk to me．It took quite few days for my deskmate to accept my apology．I've learned my lessons from it．I shouldn't have mistakenly believed what that others said and passed it on．Although my deskmate has forgiven him，I still feel ashamed．組卷：49引用：2難度：0.3
