I was very excited when the motorcycle arrived beca

2、use I bought it with the money I saved from doing part-time jobs over the summer vacation. Unfortunately, I have experienced several problems with my Skunk Scooter. First of all, the front wheel always shakes from side to side, making the scooter difficult to control. Also, it makes an unpleasant so

3、und as the wheel works. The sound is much louder than a car engine. The instructions say we should tighten the screws (螺丝). My mom and I did that. However, it did not help at all. In addition, something is wrong with the handlebars (手把). According to your website, they can be easily raised to a heig

4、ht of thirty-six inches. This does not seem to be true of the Skunk Scooter I received. The handlebars are set at thirty inches, and they cannot be raised or lowered. It appears that the knob (球形把手) that is used to change the height is pushed into the handlebars, which makes it impossible to turn in

5、 either direction. It is extremely uncomfortable to ride the motorbike with its handlebars in such a low position. Although you advertised the Skunk Scooter as “the quickest, coolest scooter on the planet,” it makes me feel very disgruntled. I am expecting that the repair of the scooter would be don

6、e at the earliest or else I want my money back. I know that you would not want customers to keep broken products. Therefore, I would like to thank you in advance for taking the trouble to solve the problem. Sincerely, Natasha Greene21. The text is probably written by a _.A. repairman B. shopkeeper C

7、. student D. salesgirl22. Whats wrong with the front wheel of the scooter?A. Several screws on it are missing.B. It is not as big as the website says.C. It keeps shaking and makes a noise.D.

A. demand after-sales service B. send her congratulations C. express thankfulnessD. make an apology B Recently, a painting of actress Elizabeth Taylor, which was drawn by American artist and filmmaker Andy Warho

9、l, sold for US $63 million. Another simple black-and-white image of a Coca-Cola bottle sold for US $35 million. But the all-time record for a Warhol painting is $100 million for a piece titled “Eight Elvises”. Whats amazing is not that the pieces sold for so much, but the fact that they are not what

10、 you would call traditional art. They are “pop art”, art based on simple images of things and people from advertising, movies, music and day-to-day life. Born in the 1920s, Warhol grew up mostly separated from other children due to (由于) health problems. He spent a lot of his time alone drawing and t

11、hen went on to study art in college. He began his career as a commercial (商业的) artist, creating pictures for magazine articles and newspaper ads. That inspired him to experiment with pop art and he hosted Americas first pop art exhibition in the 1960s. The show met with a lot of discussion with some

12、 people saying that what he was doing was not art. Warhol followed his first works with a series we are all familiar with paintings of Coca-Cola bottles, Brillo soap pad boxes, and portraits (肖像) of famous people. Soon after, Warhol stopped creating his own artwork. Instead, he had assistants and ot

13、her artists create them at his studio called “The Factory”. Warhol wanted to show the world that art doesnt have to be complex or original; it can be created by anyone using ordinary things. Today, Warhols work is unmistakable in its uniqueness. No matter how you may feel about his work, one thing c

14、annot be argued. He introduced the world to a whole new art form, inspiring future generations of artists, and eventually becoming one of the most famous and successful pop art artists in the world.25.

16、e simple and easy to produce28. What would be the best title for the text?A. Andy Warhols world of pop artB. Women in the pop art movementC. A fun pop-art self-portrait for kidsD. Popular paintings by Andy WarholC John was part of my childhood growing up in the 1970s and a link to sunny, fun-filled

17、days spent on the beach at Bangor in Northern Ireland where we went for our summer holidays. To many, he was a mystery. Every afternoon John would wander to the end of the pier (码头) where he fed the seagulls and delighted in the sound of their excited cries as they flew around his head. Often I aske

18、d my family questions regarding John. Eventually I gave up as no one could tell me anything about him. As I grew up, my visits to the beach became less frequent, and my memories of John buried in a childs imagination. Last year memories came flooding back as I walked along the coastline, where I not

19、iced a lady feeding the seagulls on the pier, and I decided to introduce myself. Then I came to know that the lady was Johns daughter, and after John left this world she carried out the ritual (惯例), which had held such importance for her father. In some strange way I felt we shared a bond, each need

20、ing to remember. In return, Lucy told me of Johns life, his days in the British Navy (海军) during World War I and how he almost lost hope when his ship was attacked by a German U-boat in the North Sea and he found himself in a lifeboat with five others. Close to death, he thought he heard the sound o

21、f wings. He put up his hands, only to catch a seagull that had landed on the side of the boat. The seagull saved the lives of the six men as it was used to catch fish, which kept them alive until they reached land. This period of Johns life was one he never talked about. But the ritual he first perf

22、ormed as a young man remained a part of him until he died. Now I visit Lucy as often as I can, just to chat or very often walk along the beach to the pier end. We enjoy the comfortable silence, each lost in special memories. 29. Seeing John feeding the seagulls, the author might feel _.A. proud B. w

23、orried C. curious D. guilty30. Why did the author introduce herself to the lady?A. She wanted to make more friends.B. She was also fond of feeding seagulls.C. She was told the lady was Johns daughter.D. She was attracted by what the lady was doing.31. We can infer from the text that John _.A. once s

24、erved in both World WarsB. was a man with a grateful heartC. spent his childhood in BangorD. joined the navy in the 1970s32. What does the author mainly tell us in the text? A. She expressed her thanks to a seagull that saved her life.B. She told us the story of how she made friends with a lady.C. S

25、he shared with us her memories of a man who fed seagulls.D. She talked about her childhood spent on the beach at Bangor.D A man pulls into the parking lot, turns off the engine, and sits for a minute feeling anxious about the next two hours. An important client (客户) has invited him to an open house

26、in celebration of their new downtown office. He hates these things. He doesnt know what to say, he doesnt know anyone except the client, and he always feels like hes trying not to look lost. He sinks deeper into the seat, making a tough decision about when to leave. Casual (随意的) conversation happens

27、 at least a dozen times a day. Yet for some of us, many occasions that involve small talk dont ever get any easier, and may even increase anxiety and cause some people to feel on edge about social events, business lunches, and chance meetings with neighbors. Unfortunately, as we are suffering our ow

28、n discomfort, our neighbors, friends, and workmates generally consider us distant, cold, and proud. If your conversations disappear almost as soon as theyve begun, or if youre an unwilling participant at social and business get-togethers, youll need some skills. Just get involved in a meaningful dia

29、logue, try your best to introduce an interesting topic when theres a silence, and develop business friendships whenever and wherever possible. Small talk isnt the lowly stepchild of real conversation. Without it, you rarely get to the real conversation. Small talk is the icebreaker that clears the w

30、ay for a deeper conversation. People who excel at small talk are experts at making others feel included, valued, and comfortable. And that goes a long way toward furthering a business relationship, or making a friend. Dont be fooled into thinking that all those other people you see who are smiling a

31、nd happily chatting come by it naturally. Sure, some are natural-born talkers, but most have had to work at it. Theyve practiced, attended courses and read books. You dont think so? Believe me, I know. I used to be a single-minded, unsociable engineer no one has worse skills than I once did. I have

32、become an expert by learning some skills and then practicing them. Its that simple. 33. According to Paragraph 2, those who are poor at casual conversation _.
