Brotherly Love
Adidas and Puma have been two of the biggest names in sports shoe manufacturing for over half a century.
Since 1928 they have supplied shoes for Olympic athletes, World Cup-winning football heroes, Muhammad Ali, hip hop stars and rock musicians famous all over the world. But the story of these two companies begins in one house in the town of Herzogenaurach, Germany.
Adolph and Rudolph Dassler were the sons of a shoemaker. They loved sport but complained that they could never find comfortable shoes to play in. Rudolph always said, “You cannot play sports wearing shoes that you’d walk around town with.” So they started making their own. In 1920 Adolph made the first pair of athletics shoes with spikes（钉）, produced on the Dasslers’ kitchen table.
On 1st July 1924 they formed a shoe company, Dassler Brothers Ltd and they worked together for many years. The company became successful and it provided the shoes for Germany’s athletes at the 1928 and 1932 Olympic Games.
But in 1948 the brothers argued. No one knows exactly what happened, but family members have suggested that the argument was about money or women. The result was that Adolph left the company. His nickname was Adi, and using this and the first three letters of the family name, Dassler, he founded Adidas.
Rudolph relocated across the River Aurach and founded his own company too. At first he wanted to call it Ruda, but eventually he called it Puma, after the wild cat. The famous Puma logo of the jumping cat has hardly changed since.
After the big split of 1948 Adolph and Rudolph never spoke to each other again and their companies have now been in competition for over sixty years. Both companies were for many years the market leaders, though Adidas has always been more successful than Puma. A hip hop group, Run DMC, has even written a song called “My Adidas” and in 2005 Adidas bought Reebok, another big sports shoe company.
The terrible family argument should really be forgotten, but ever since it happened, over sixty years ago, the town has been split into two. Even now, some Adidas employees and Puma employees don’t talk to each other.
16．Adidas and puma began to make shoes at the end of 19th century.
A．Right B．Wrong C．Not mentioned
17．The brothers’ father was a ball maker.
A．Right B．Wrong C．Not mentioned
18．The brothers make shoes at home.

19．The brothers argued about the shoes.
A．Right B．Wrong C．Not mentioned
20．The brothers decided to start their separate companies after argument.
A．Right B．Wrong C．Not mentioned
21．Nike makes more shoes than Adidas.
A．Right B．Wrong C．Not mentioned
22．People in town have forgotten their argument.

第3部分：概括大意和完成句子（第23～30题，每题1分，共8分）
下面的短文后有2项测试任务：（1）第23 ~ 26题要求从所给的6个选项中为指定段落每段选择1个小标题；（2）第27 ~ 30题要求从所给的6个选项中为每个句子确定一个最佳选项。
How Technology Pushes Down Price
1　Prices have fallen in the food business because of advances in food production and distribution technology. Consumers have benefited greatly from those advances. People who predicted that the world would run out of food were wrong. We are producing more and more food with less and less capital. Food is therefore more plentiful and cheaper than it has ever been. Spending on food compared with other goods has fallen for many years, and continues to drop.
2　Supermarkets have helped push down prices mainly because of their scale. Like any big business, they can invest in IT systems that make them efficient. And their size allows them to buy in bulk. As supermarkets get bigger, the prices get lower.
3　Huge retail companies such as Wal-Mart have tremendous power and they can put pressure on producers to cut their margins. As a result, some producers have had to make cuts. In recent years, Unilever has cut its workforce by 33, 000 to 245, 000 and dropped lots of its minor brands as part of its “path to growth” strategy. Cadbury has shut nearly 20 percent of its 133 factories and cut 10 percent of its 55, 000 global workforce. These cuts help keep costs down, and the price of food stays low.
4　Does cheap food make people unhealthy? Cheap food may encourage people to eat more. Good companies certainly think that giving people more food for their money makes them buy more. Giving people bigger portions is an easy way of making them feel they have got a better deal. That is why portions have got larger and larger. In America, soft drinks came in 8oz (225g) cans in the past, then 12oz (350g), and now come in 20oz (550g) cans. If a company can sell you an 8oz portion for $7, they can sell you a 12oz portion for $ 8. The only extra cost to the company is the food, which probably costs 25 cents.
5　Now companies are under pressure to stop selling bigger portions for less money. But it is hard to change the trend.


23．Paragraph 1______
24．Paragraph 2______
25．Paragraph 3_____
26．Paragraph 4_____

A．Huge retailers force producers to cunt costs
B．Consumers like supermarkets
C．Technology helps reduce food prices

27．Big supermarkets can offer food at lower prices because they can buy in______
28．Some food producers have reduced______
29．Besides cutting its workforce, Unilever also abandoned its______
30．Buyers like bigger portion because they think they have got______

B．huge portions

第一篇 Oseola McCarty
Late one Sunday afternoon in September 1999, Oseola McCarty, an elderly cleaning lady passed away in the little wooden frame house where she had lived and worked most of her life. It may seem like an ordinary end to a humble life, but there was something quite exceptional about this woman.
In the summer of 1995, McCarty gave $ 150, 000, most of the money she had saved throughout her life, to the University of Southern Mississippi in her hometown. The money was to help other African Americans through university. She had started her savings habit as a young child when she would return from school to clean and iron for money which she would then save.
She led a simple, frugal existence, never spending on anything but her most basic needs. Her bank also advised her on investing her hard-earned savings.
When she retired, she decided that she wanted to use the money to give children of limited means the opportunity to go to university. She had wanted to become a nurse, but had to leave school to look after ill relatives and work. When asked why she had given her life savings away, she replied, “I’m giving it away so that children won’t have to work so hard, like I did.” After news of her donation hit the media, over 600 donations were made to the scholarship fund. One was given by media executive, Ted Turner, who reputedly gave a billion dollars.
She didn’t want any fuss made over her gift, but the news got out and she was invited all over the United States to talk to people. Wherever she went, people would come up to her to say a few words or to just touch her. She met the ordinary and the famous, President Clinton included. In the last few years of her life, before she died of cancer, McCarty was given over 300 awards: she was honored by the United Nations and received the Presidential Citizen’s Medal. Despite having no real education, she found herself with two honorary doctorates: one from the University of Southern Mississippi and the other from Harvard University. Her generosity was clearly an inspiration to many and proof that true selflessness does exist.

第二篇 From Ponzi to Madoff
The year was 1920. The country was the United States of America. The man’s name was Charles Ponzi. Ponzi told people to stop depositing money in a savings account. Instead, they should give it to him to save for them. Ponzi promised to pay them more than the bank. For example, a savings account might pay you $ 5 a year for every $ 100 you deposit. Ponzi, however, would pay you $ 40 a year for every $ 100 you gave him to hold. Many people thought this was a good plan. They began to give their money to Ponzi.
How could Ponzi make so much money for people? This is what he did with the money people gave him: He used some of that money to pay other people who gave him money. However, he also kept a lot of the money for himself. Soon he had $ 250 million. This was a kind of theft, and it was against the law. The people who gave him their money didn’t think anything was wrong. Ponzi paid them every month, just like a bank. Ponzi continued this way of working for two years. Then one day, he didn’t have enough money to pay all the people. They discovered his crime, and he went to prison for fraud.
Ninety years later, people began to hear about a businessman in New York named Bernard Madoff. People said he gave good advice about money. They said when they gave him their money, he paid them a lot more than the bank. Madoff helped hospitals, schools, and individuals earn money. Over a period of 40 years, people gave him $ 170 billion. However, no one investigated what he did with the money. The people who gave Madoff their money also didn’t think anything was wrong because he paid them every month.
One day, Madoff didn’t have enough money to pay all the people he needed to pay. That’s when people discovered how Madoff worked: He was taking money from some people to pay other people, just the way Charles Ponzi did. However, this time, instead of losing millions of dollars, people lost billions.
Madoff was accused of fraud, and United States government officials arrested him. He didn’t have to go on trial because he said he was guilty. In 2009, a judge sentenced him to 150 years in prison. Bernard Madoff’s crime was even bigger than Ponzi’s. It was the biggest fraud in history. The lesson of this story is clear. When something seems too good to be true, it probably is!
36．For every $ 100 Ponzi promises to pay people __________.
A．$ 5 a year
B．$ 40 a year
C．$ 20 a year
D．$ 100 a year
37．What did Ponzi do with the money people gave him?
A．He spent it all on things for himself.
B．He used some of it to pay other people.
C．He deposited it all in a bank.
D．He kept it all to save for a good plan.
38．What was Ponzi’s crime?
A．He kept a lot of other peoples’ money for himself.
B．He robbed the banks of millions of dollars.
C．He gave people more than bank allowed.
D．He didn’t pay people the interests.
39．How long did Madoff’s trick lasts?
A．Four years.
B．Forty years.
C．Nine years.
D．Ninety years.
40．Why didn’t Madoff have to go on trial?
A．He admitted he was guilty.
B．The officials couldn’t find any evidence against him.
C．He had friends in government who helped him.
D．He returned all illegal money.
第三篇 Gross National Happiness
In the last century, new technology improved the lives of many people in many countries. However, one country resisted these changes. High in the Himalayan mountains of Asia, the kingdom of Bhutan remained separate. Its people and Buddhist（佛教）culture had not been affected for almost a thousand years. Bhutan, however, was a poor country. People died at a young age. Most of its people could not read, and they did not know much about the outside world. Then, in 1972, a new ruler named King Jigme Singye Wangchuck decided to help Bhutan to become modern, but without losing its traditions.
King Wangchuck looked at other countries for ideas. He saw that most countries measured their progress by their Gross Natonal Product（GNP）. The GNP measures products and money. When the number of products sold increases people say the country is making progress. King Wangchuck had a different idea for Bhutan. He wanted to measure his country’s progress by people’s happiness. If the people’s happiness increased, the king could say that Bhutan was making progress. To decide if people were happier, he created a measure called Gross National Happiness（GNH）.
GNH is based on certain principles that create happiness. People are happier if they have health care, education, and jobs. They are happier when they live in a healthy, protected environment. They are happier when they can keep their traditional culture and customs. Finally, people are happier when they have a good, stable government.
Now there is some evidence of increased GNH in Bhutan. People are healthier and are living longer. More people are educated and employed. Twenty-five percent of the land has become national parks, and the country has almost no pollution. The Bhutanese continue to wear their traditional clothing and follow their ancient Buddhist customs. Bhutan has also become a democracy. In 2008, King Wangchuck gave his power to his son. Although the country still had a king, it held its first democratic elections that year. Bhutan had political parties and political candidates for the first time. Finally, Bhutan has connected to the rest of the world through television and internet.
Bhutan is a symbol for social progress. Many countries are now interested in Bhutan’s GNH. These countries are investigating their own ways to measure happiness. They want to create new policies that take care of their people, cultures, and land.
Brazil may be the nest country to use the principles of GNH. Brazilian leaders see the principles of GNH as a source of inspiration. Brazil is a large country with a diverse population. If happiness works as a measure of progress in Brazil, perhaps the rest of the world will follow.
41．Who was Jigme Singye Wangchuck?
A．A president.
B．A Buddhist priest.
C．A general.
D．A king.
42．Apart from modernizing Bhutan, what else did Wangchuck want to do for Bhutan?
A．To make its population grow.
B．To keep it separate from the world.
C．To encourage its people to get rich.
D．To keep its tradition and customs.
43．A country shows its progress with GNP by________.
A．selling more products.
B．spending more money.
C．spending less money.
D．providing more jobs.
44．According to GNH, people are happier if they________.
A．have new technology.
B．can change their religion.
C．have a good, stable government.
D．have more money.
45．Today, many countries are________.
A．using the principles of GNH to measure their progress.
B．working together to develop a common scale to measure GNH.
C．taking both Bhutan and Brazil as symbols for social progress.
D．trying to find their own ways to measure happiness.

第4部分：阅读理解
第一篇
31．C　句意：这位震惊并激励了世界上的人是因为……
根据文章第一段最后一句there was something quite exceptional about this woman可得知这位妇人有着非同寻常之处，由第二段第一、二句In the summer of 1995，McCarty gave $ 150，000, most of the money she had saved throughout her life, to the University of Southern Mississippi in her hometown. The money was to help other African Americans through university可知，这位妇人竟积攒了如此一大笔钱并将其捐献。所以B项“她把钱给非裔美国人”是错误的。A项“她积攒了那么多钱”，这并不是她使人震惊和受到激励的原因，而是她将毕生积蓄捐出这一行为令人佩服，所以C项“她将其毕生积蓄捐给学校来帮助别人”正确。D项“她只买便宜东西”，文中未提及，故选C。
32．B　句意：她能攒下这么大笔钱是因为……。
根据文章第二段最后一句和第三段She had started her savings habit as a young child …She led a simple, frugal existence，never spending on anything but her most basic needs. Her bank also advised her on investing her hard-earned savings可知，她努力工作，努力存钱并谨慎投资。故B项正确。而第二段最后一句提及的是她小时候放学后做清洁和熨衣服赚钱，并没有提到她一生都在做这种工作，所以A项错误。C项、D项说法都比较模糊不全面。故选B。
33．C　句意：她把钱财都捐了是因为……。
根据文章第四段第一、二句…the money to give children of limited means the opportunity to go to university. She had wanted to become a nurse, but had to leave school to look after ill relatives and work和第三句I’m giving it away so that children won’t have to work so hard, like I did可知，她希望别人有机会上大学而不必再像她那样毕生操劳。所以C项正确。她捐出积蓄是为帮助非裔美国人，而不是帮助大学，故A项错误，B项说法文中未提及由第五段第一句She didn’t want any fuss made over her gift可知，她并不想为自己的捐献而大惊小怪，博人眼球，所以D项错误。故选C。
34．C　句意：她的慷慨使人们……
根据文章第四段倒数第二句After news of her donation hit the media, over 600 donations were made to the scholarship fund可知，受她事迹的感染，超过600人也慷慨解囊捐款，故C项正确。A项、B项和D项文中未提及。因此本题选C。
35．C　句意：Marcarty的慷慨说明________。
文章最后一句Her generosity was clearly an inspiration to many and proof that true selflessness docs exist明确点出她的慷慨表明真正的无私是存在的，故可判断C项正确。因此本题选C。
第二篇
36．B　题意：庞齐承诺每100美元一年给人们多少收益？
题中的关键字是$100，回原文查找，很容易找到第一段倒数第三、四句For example, a savings account might pay you $5 a year for every $ 100 you deposit. Ponzi, however, would pay you $ 40 a year for every $100 you gave him to hold这说明100元存银行只有5元的收益，但是庞齐却给40元的收益。所以本题选B。
37．B　句意：当人们把钱给庞齐的时候他是怎么做的？
关于庞齐如何处置别人给他的钱，文章第二段中第二句This is what he did with the money people gave him： He used some of that money to pay other people who gave him money他把钱给另外给他钱的人。这也就是我们常说的拆东墙补西墙。所以本题选B。
38．D　句意：庞齐犯了什么罪？
本题的关键字是crime，在文章第二段找到相关句为本段最后一句They discovered his crime, and he went to prison for fraud从中我们可以看到，他是因为诈骗入狱的。四个选项中D项他没有给人们支付利息抵于诈骗，所以本题选D。
39．B　句意：麦道夫的骗局持续了多长时间？
文中关于年的语句很多，要仔细甄别。文章从第三段开始讲述关于麦道夫的故事。第三段第五句Over a period of 40 years, people gave him $ 170 billion与题干相呼应，即在超过40年的时间里，人们拱手给他送上1700亿美元。所以本题选B。
40．A　句意：为什么麦道夫没有必要出庭受审？
文中最后一段第二句He didn’t have to go on trial because he said he was guilty表明他没有被审判是因为他自认有罪。所以本题选A。

根据文章第一段最后一句".King Jigme Singye Wangchuck decided to help Bhutan to become modern, but without losing its traditions，说明Wangchuck不希望不丹丢掉其传统，而第三段第三句They are happier when they can keep their traditional culture and customs也说明Wangchuck推行的GNH（国民幸福总值）政策中，如果能保持传统文化和风俗则国民会更幸福。故选D。
43．A　题意：一个国家进步在GNP中体现为……。
根据文中第二段第三、四句The GNP measures products and money. When the number of products sold increases, people say the country is making progress可知，GNP用商品和金钱来衡量，卖出的商品越多，国家似乎越进步。故选A。
44．C　题意：根据GNH，人民若……会更幸福。
文章第三段集中讲述GNH，人们更幸福包括they have health care，education, and jobs；they live in a healthy, protected environment; they can keep their traditional culture and customs； they have a good, stable government。由此可知C项正确。
45．D　题意：现在，很多国家……。
根据文章第五段第二、三句Many countries are now interested in Bhutan’s GNH. These countries are investigating their own ways to measure happiness可知，很多国家用自己的方式去衡量幸福。故选D。

第5部分：补全短文
46．B　句意：少年足球组织有低至5岁的足球队。
本句前...kids are getting younger and younger. In some countries, children can compete... starting at age nine，而后面...swimming and gymnastics classes begin at age four，这些都在说低龄儿童参与体育项目。所以本处也要谈低龄儿童和体育项目这类的内容，很明显补入B项的内容后意思非常清晰。故选B。
47．E　句意：但是其他普通的孩子呢？
本句前面It’s true that a few of these kids will develop into highly skilled athletes and may even become members of the national Olympic teams的a few指出了少部分孩子运动竞技成绩好，此处笔锋一转，转向大多数其他孩子。所以本句选E。
48．A　句意：调查发现79%的年轻运动员家长希望他们的孩子能够专心于从事一项体育运动。
此句前面Many parents pressure their kids to choose one sport and devote all their time to it，后面But 66 percent of the young athletes wanted to play more than one sport for fun，说明父母和孩子对待体育活动的态度不同，父母希望孩子能专注一项运动，而孩子却希望能从多项活动中获得乐趣，将A项内容补入后，进一步说明父母的态度，正好与后面But—句形成转折关系，所以本题选A。
49．F　句意：幼小的孩童不懂为什么他们的父母把他们逼得那么紧。
本句前一句…most children don’t even understand the idea of competition until they are seven years old说明很多孩子直到7岁才能理解竞赛的含义，补入F项内容后进一步说明幼小的孩子不明白竞赛的含义，所以本题选F。
50．C　句意：他们中的很多人失去了对运动的兴趣。
此句前面70 percent of kids…quit before they turn eighteens说明研究结果，而后面Excessive competitiveness took away all the enjoyment说明过分强调竞赛使人失去运动的乐趣，所以此处选C项，补充前面的研究结果，且与后文形成递进关系。故选C。

第6部分：完形填空
51．B　此句是个省略系动词的被动句。四个选项中A项count意为“看作”；B项expected意为“期待”；C项felt意为“感觉”；D项waited意为“等待”。count to be意为“算是，算作”，不符合文意，而C项D项气候不可接to be。只有B项合适，表示“被（人）期待能成功”。所以本题选B。
52．C　本句结构较为复杂，having someone around做主语，isn’t是系动词，后面的部分是表语。而who always…the worst为修饰成分。此句意为：当身边有…最坏时可不是…。而下一句提供线索，有人在晴天看到一片云就大惊小怪说要下雨，所以此句应选fear，意思是害怕最坏的事情发生。而A项worries,—般为worry about sth.表示“担忧某事”，B项cares，其后也要加about，表示“担心，关心”，而D项doubts意为“怀疑”，不符合文意。故本题选C。
53．D　承接第52题，此处a lot of…应该起到形容词的作用。根据文意，此处意思是不爽，不舒服。A项amusement意为“娱乐”；B项play意为“玩乐”；C项意为“乐趣”，但表示很多乐趣常用的是a lot of fun。所以此处选D。
54．D　look like，常用搭配，表示“看起来像”。所以选D。
55．C　do something about it是英文里的常用说法，表示做点什么（来改善）。这一段主要是说如果你看见天上哪怕只有一片云彩也要觉得要下雨了（表示极度悲观），你真要做点什么来改变这种情况了。所以本题选C。
56．B　according to意为“根据…”。judge to sb.一般表示审判某人，concern一般接with，不接to, follow是及物动词。所以此题选B。
57．A　as a result常用说法，意思是“结果，因此”本句意为：只要你稍稍努力，就会发现生活更有价值。因此本题选A。
58．C　本句意为：乐观是一种看待生活更积极的方式以及由此所带给你的一切益处。从字面上看，supply有“提供”的意思，但做动词时一般接with.表示提供物料，一般指具体的实物，而offer指“提出，提供，呈现”，表示向别人提供可接受也可拒绝的某物，用法更为广泛，可用来指抽象的东西；所以此处选C。
59．B　本句意为：乐观主义者更有可能开展新项目。be likely to do sth.意为“更有可能”。likely此处是形容词。possible—般不以人为主语。所以此题选B。
60．B　本句意为：教养显然对人看待世界的态度影响重大。因为全文讲乐观，这本来就是一个态度命题，所以选B项attitude。而A项opinion与C项view都不可与to连用，一般为opinion of/a bout，view of表示意见，观点等。而D项position指对看法有分歧的问题所表示较冷静和节制的态度，常常是经认真考虑后决定的。因此本题选B。
61．C　本题要选择和on搭配的词语。四个选项中只有depend on能组合，意为“依靠”。本句意为在长大成人过程中太依赖于别人的一些人。A项trust, —般直接接宾语sb.，表示“信任某人”，而B项believe, —般为believe in sb/sth.表示“信任某人/相信某事”，D项hope, —般后面带不定式to do或者接that引导的从句。因此本题选C。
62．A　go wrong常用搭配，意为“出错，出毛病，出故障”。本句意为：有些人在成长过程中很依赖别人，当事情出错时就会责怪他人。因此本题选A。
63．C　on the other hand=on the other aspect意为“另一方面”，一般前面是on one hand，然后会接on the other hand，而文章前面一句已经说明那些在成长过程中依赖别人的人面对事情出错时的态度，此处则开始谈乐观主义者们的处事方式。所以此题选C。
64．A　regard…as…为常用搭配，意为“把…看作…”。本句的意思是不把失败看作是世界末日。因此本题选A。
65．B　A项get up意为“起床”；B项get on意为“上车，向前进”；C项get out意为“离去，出去”；D项get over意为“克服"。本句的意思是那些在不把失败看作世界末日环境中成长起来的人在事情出错时只是继续过自己的日子，所以选B。
