29、. And even if he does not become very rich, he wants people to think that he is. That is what keeping up with the Joneses is about. It is the story of someone who tried to look as rich as his neighbors.The expression was first used in 1913 by a young American called Arthur Momand. He told this story

30、 about himself. He began earning $ 125 a week at the age of 23. That was a lot of money in those days. He got married and moved with his wife to a very wealthy neighborhood. When he saw that rich people rode horses, Momand went horseback riding every day. When he saw that rich people had servants, M

31、omand and his wife also hired a servant and gave big parties for their new neighbors. It was like a race, but one could never finish this race because one was always trying to keep up. The race ended for Momand and his wife when they could no longer pay for their new way of life. They had to move ba

32、ck to an apartment in New York City. Momand looked around him and noticed that many people do things just to keep up with rich lifestyle of their neighbors. He saw the funny side of it and started to write a series of short stories. He called it Keeping up with the Joneses” because Jones is a very c

33、ommon name in the United States. Keeping up with the Joneses came to mean keeping up with rich lifestyle of the people around you. Momands series appeared in different newspapers across the country for over 28 years.People never seem to get tired of keeping up with the Joneses. And there are Joneses

34、 in every city of the world. But one must get tired of trying to keep up with the Joneses because no matter what one does, Mr. Jones always seems to be ahead.56.

36、h the Joneses?A. Negative. B. Positive. C. Supportive. D. Objective.B Back those photos up The images were striking. Homes on the East Coast were washed away by Superstorm Sandy. People were in tears, picking up faded photographs, among their only remaining possessions. If that doesnt move you to ge

37、t serious about safekeeping your lifetime of memories, what will? The digital age offers tools never imaginable beforeincluding one-click access to a lifetime of family photos. Here is a brochure on how to back up (存) your photos and save them online, where they can live forever and be accessible in

38、 good times and bad. Scanning The first step for those old photos is to scan them and save them to a digital format. Most printers come with scanners these days, so thats an easy but extremely time-consuming step. Storing the photos With your scans in place, import the photos into your computer, and

39、 back them up. You could make multiple copies of the disks and spread them to loved ones. Or you could choose external(外接的) hard drives or USB thumb drive, and add your photo and video collection from your computer. Online backupIf you need lots of space, look at a pure online backup service, Caroni

40、te. Caronite backs up 300 million files daily. Once you sign up, it starts to pick up everything you have on your hard drive. But photo collection on your computers main hard drive charges for $59 a year.Cloud StorageFor folks who dont need automatic backup, but instead want to take a more active ap

41、proach, Dropbox, Google Drive and Microsofts SkyDrive let you store files online by yourself, share and instantly access them. All offer free options2GB of free storage for Dropbox, 5GB for Google and 7GB for SkyDrive. But if you want more, you need to pay. Bottom LineThe hard drive or flash drive i

42、s the cheapest and easiest. But drives can fail. Online services are more expensive, but more secure.

45、. introduce some of the storage servicesB. tell real stories about storage servicesC. describe the functions of storage servicesD. argue about the advantage of storage servicesCAre you a problem shopper? The answer is “Yes”, if you or someone else thinks that you sometimes get carried away with shop

46、ping. In other words, do you or does someone else think you are occupied in extreme shopping? If people have regrets later about their shopping, or have an “out-of-control” feeling about the quantities of what they buy or the amount of credit they use, they may be considered to be problem shoppers.E

47、xtreme shopping can lead to a more serious problem addictive shopping. Addictive shoppers feel driven by the desire to shop and spend money. They experience great tension which drives them to shop and spend money and they feel a “rush” during the time they are occupied with the shopping activity.Ext

48、reme or addictive shopping may result from long-time unpleasant feelings, of which anxiety, pain and shame are common ones. When we feel bad inside, we often do something to make ourselves feel better. In this case, we often go shopping.A few people shop to relieve their boredom or emptiness. For so

49、me people, the motivation is a desire for status, power, beauty or success. Some love to shop as it makes them feel valued in the eyes of the shop assistants. Others shop simply because it makes them forget, at least temporarily, tension, fear or unhappiness in their life.Besides, shopping malls are

50、 designed to encourage continual shopping. For instance, there are some malls where you cant see clocks displaying the time because they dont want you to become too aware of the time you spend there. Whats more, food courts, coffee shops and restrooms are provided, so you dont have to leave the mall

51、 because of your physical needs.Therefore, once you become aware of how market forces work, you will certainly come to control your shopping behavior. For example, how much time you will spend and what areas you will visit can be decided before you enter the mall. Keep a written account of what item

52、s you will buy and how much money you will spend. Make a plan for what you are going to buy before you feel the urge to shop and then stick to it. That is vital for gaining self-control.63Which of the following people may not be problem shoppers?AThose who cannot control the amount of credit they us

53、e.BThose who feel sorry for their shopping.CThose who are occupied in too much shopping.DThose who just walk around the shopping malls.64According to the passage, what may not result in addictive shopping?AThe desire for status, power, beauty or success.BThe awareness of how market forces work.CBore

54、dom, emptiness, tension, fear or unhappiness in peoples life.DLong-time bad feelings of anxiety, pain and shame.65What does the author suggest to control our shopping behaviour?ANever going to the shopping malls because there are many tricks.BApplying for a credit card before we go shopping.CMaking

55、a shopping list before we go shopping.DMaking the shopping time as short as possible.66The author writes this passage to .Ainform the shopping malls how to attract more shoppersBtell a shopping storyCscold the problem shoppersDprovide solutions to the problem shopping. DMoral science is taught as a

56、subject in most schools but with little effect. Perhaps part of the problem lies in the fact that morality is not a science, strictly speaking. It is too much of a social phenomenon, and also has too much of the personal and subjective things mixed within. Besides, morality itself changes with gener

57、ations. So it is impossible to be defined in a textbook. I remember sitting through forty minutes of moral lessons, which told stories about little children who never told lies and were rewarded for their goodness. It had little effect and left no impression on me, though.If moral science has to be

58、taught as a subject in schools, it needs a participatory(参与其中的) approach. When you tell a child about morals, you also have to deal with social norms（规范）and cultural differences. You have to explain that morality can be subjective, and be able to co-exist in society. You will probably have to refer

59、to the morals of the present time.The best way to tell a child how to live is to show him what is valued. If a child likes his friend, you have to make the child think about why. Once the child notices and recognizes goodness in others, he or she is likely to develop it as well.In fact, children lea

60、rn most of their morals by watching people around them. They absorb behavior patterns from teachers and older students. They watch to see what is rewarded and who is punished. They learn on the sports field and through social work. Moral science lessons should simply consist of letting them live and

61、 interact, and watch you support correct values and reward good behavior. 67. Which is NOT the reason that moral science is taught in schools but with little effect?A. Morality doesnt strictly belong to a science.B. Morality is more like a social phenomenon.C. Morality cant be written down in textbo

62、oks.D. Different generations have different moral ideas.68. The author describes his own experience of having moral lessons in order to _. A. explain telling lies is not moral for little children B. advise people should be rewarded for their goodness C. show he has no opinions about moral science D.

63、 prove moral lessons in schools have little effect69. When you tell a child about morals, you should_. A. teach him to share personal moral ideas with others B. tell him about social norms and cultural differences C. explain that nobody can influence his moral ideas D. say that the present morals ar

64、e likely to be changed70. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. The influence of peoples behavior on morals. B. The value of teachers setting a good example. C. The best way of teaching children about morals. D. The importance of rewarding good behavior.第二节（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填

65、入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Before going outside in the morning, many of us check a window thermometer(温度计)for the temperature. This helps us decide what to wear. 71 We want our food to be a certain coldness in the refrigerator. We want it a certain hotness in the oven. If we dont feel well, we use a ther

66、mometer to see if we have a fever. We keep our rooms a certain warmth in the winter and a certain coolness in the summer.Not all the thermometers use the same system to measure temperature. We use a system called the Fahrenheit scale. But most other countries use the Centigrade scale.Both systems us

67、e the freezing and boiling points of water as their guide. 72 The most common kind of thermometer is made with mercury(水银)inside a clear glass tube. As mercury (or any other liquid) becomes hot, it expands. As it gets colder, it contracts. That is why on hot days the mercury line is high in the glas

68、s tube. 73 First. Take a clear glass juice bottle that has a cap; fill the bottle with coloured water. Tap a hole in the center of the cap using a hammer and thick nail. Put the cap on the jar. Then stick a plastic straw(吸管) through the nail hole. 74 Finally. Place a white card on the outside of the

69、 bottle and behind the straw. Now you can see the water level easily. 75 As the temperature goes down, the water will contract, and the level in the straw will come down. Perhaps you will want to keep a record of the water level in the straw each morning for a week.AThermometers measure temperature,

70、 by using materials that change in the same way when they are heated or cooled.BWe use and depend on thermometers to measure the temperature of many other things in our daily lives.CTake wax (you may use an old candle if you have one) and melt some of it right where the straw is struck into the cap

71、to seal (把粘住) them together.DThe water will rise in the straw. As the temperature of the air goes up, the water will expand and rise even higher.EThey label these in different ways. On the Fahrenheit scale water freezes at 32 degrees and boils at 212 degrees. On the Celsius scale water freezes at 0

72、degrees and boils at 100 degrees.FNow that you know this rule you can make a thermometer of your own that will work.GPeople use thermometers which are made by themselves when travelling around the world.第四部分：写作(共两节满分35分)第一节 短文改错(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。文中共有10处语言错误，每句中最多有
