16．Do you like shopping？Or does the thought of wandering round the shops fill you with terror？For some of us，shopping is an enjoyable way of spending our spare time and our money．For me．it's something I would rather avoid．Thank goodness for the Internet!It's more convenient to buy CDs，electrical items，even food，from the comfort of your sofa．But that's not the only reason：price is an important factor．We can buy goods and services cheaper online．But sometimes the problem is not knowing what to buy．This has led to a type of shopping called"showrooming"．
Showrooming is something I've done．I will go to a shop to see，touch and try out products but then go home and buy them online at a knock-down price．I'm not alone in doing this．Research by a company called Foolproof，found 24%of people showroomed while Christmas shopping in 2013．
Amy Cashman，Head of Technology at TNS UK，says the reasons for this new shopping habit are that"people are lacking time，lacking money and they want security about the products they are buying．"She explains that consumers are not only shopping online at home but they are using the Internet in store or on their smartphones to shop around．
But does this mean technology will kill shops？Certainly shops will change．They will have to offer more competitive prices or encourage people to buy more by giving in-store discounts or free gifts．
We mustn't forget that buying in a shop means you can get expert advice from the sales assistant and you can get good aftercare．It's good to speak to a real human rather than look at a faceless computer screen but at least by showrooming，you get the best of both worlds!

分析 目前，國內(nèi)外興起了一種購物方式-Showrooming（商品展廳）．Showrooming指的是消費(fèi)者在零售店挑選商品，然后在網(wǎng)上購買的消費(fèi)行為．在本文中作者就這一現(xiàn)象以及網(wǎng)上購物對商場的沖擊進(jìn)行了分析，指出商場必須做出相應(yīng)的改變來迎接這一挑戰(zhàn)．

解答 61-65 AABCC
61題答案是A．推理判斷題．本文內(nèi)容是介紹網(wǎng)上購物，由此可知作者在文章開篇提出的問題只是起到引出話題的作用，故選A．
62題答案是A．細(xì)節(jié)理解題．由文章第二段Showrooming is something I've done．I will go to a shop to see，touch and try out products but then go home and buy them online at a knock-down price．可知showrooming指的是去實(shí)體店看或者試用產(chǎn)品，然后去網(wǎng)上購買，故選A．
63題答案是B．細(xì)節(jié)理解題．從文章第三段Amy Cashman所說的：the reasons for this new shopping habit are that"people are lacking time，lacking money and they want security about the products they are buying，由此可知B選項(xiàng)內(nèi)容不是showrooming的原因，故選B．
64題答案是C．細(xì)節(jié)理解題．從文章第四段Certainly shops will change．They will have to offer more competitive prices …free girls可以判斷商店不會(huì)因?yàn)榫W(wǎng)購的增多而倒閉，但是商場卻的確需要一些改變，故選C．
65題答案是C．推理判斷題．A批判的；B中立的；C支持的；D隨意的．從文章末段but at least by showrooming，you get the best of both worlds!可知作者對showrooming持贊同的觀點(diǎn)，故選C．

點(diǎn)評 本文是政治經(jīng)濟(jì)類閱讀理解．做這類題材閱讀理解時(shí)要求考生對文章通讀一遍，做題時(shí)結(jié)合原文和題目有針對性的找出相關(guān)語句進(jìn)行仔細(xì)分析，結(jié)合選項(xiàng)選出正確答案．推理判斷題也是要在抓住關(guān)鍵句子的基礎(chǔ)上合理的分析才能得出正確答案，切忌胡亂猜測，一定要做到有理有據(jù)．

4．An artist in Oakland，California is using his skills to help the homeless．Greg Kloehn builds very small shelters that make life on the streets more comfortable．The structures offer the homeless some safety and protection from bad weather．Each little house also has wheels on the bottom so it can go wherever its owner goes．
Greg Kloehn has given away at least 20tiny houses to the homeless on the street．On a recent day，Mr．Kloehn stops to visit his homeless friends．One of them is Oscar Young．The two men hug when they see each other．Inside his little shelter Mr．Young gets relief from cold nights on the streets．Mr．Kloehn also visits Sweet-Pea，another friend who also lives in one of the little homes the artist built．She says it keeps her safe and protects her belongings．
In the mornings，Mr．Kloehn searches the streets for building materials．He gathers what he can and takes it to his studio．There，he puts the houses together．Empty coffee bags become roof material．A washing machine door and refrigerator part become windows．Nails，screws and the sticky glue hold all the pieces together．The artist also attaches a small electrical device（裝置） to the house．The device is powered by the sun．
Some of the people living on the streets once had normal houses of their own．But some of the people say they have learned to live with less and they are thankful to that man．
Mr．Kloehn says his work is not a social project．He says he is just someone using his skills to help his homeless neighbors．

11．Well，parents，surprise!Lots of us are using Twitter and Facebook to find rides，and not just to school．It's awkward to call a friend and ask for a ride，and half the time they'll say，"Sorry，my car is full．"But with Twitter，you just tweet#AshleysPoolParty and look for other people heading the same way．
It may sound risky，but many teens stay within their own social circles to find rides，and don't branch out beyond friends of friends when asking on Twitter．For me，I only rideshare with people I know，but to some young people，especially those taking longer trips，stranger danger is less of a concern．
The sharing economy got big during the recession（經(jīng)濟(jì)衰退）．It allows people to access more goods and services using technology，while also allowing them to share cost．And that technology，for me，is what the car was for my mom，a gateway to more freedom．
According to the researchers at the University of Michigan，30 years ago，eight in ten American 18-year-olds had a driver's license．Today it's six in ten．So it's not that surprising that on my 16th birthday I wasn't rushing to get a license．All I wanted was an iPhone．Juliet Schor （Sociology professor at Boston College） knows people my age love being connected and for young people driving means they have to disconnect from their technology，and that's a negative．So if they could sit in the passenger side and still be connected，that's going to be a plus．
To me，another plus is ridesharing represents something much bigger than trying to save money．I see it as evidence that people still depend on each other．My generation shares their cars and apartments the way neighbors used to share cups of sugar．For the system to work，some of us still need our own cars．But until I get my own version of the silver Super Beetle，you can find me on Twitter．
66．The writer usually rideshares withB．
A．a(chǎn)nyone heading the same way      B．people he knows
C．friends of friends               D．strangers of his age
67．Fewer young people choose to ride by themselves becauseD．
A．driving means offering free rides to others．
B．getting a driving license becomes more difficult．
C．driving one's own cars causes a negative impression．
D．driving makes them disconnected from technology．
68．We can conclude from the passage thatC
A．the writer rideshares just to save money
B．people under 18 are not allowed to drive
C．silver Super Beetle is the writer's favorite
D．the older generation had to fight for freedom
69．Which is the best title for the passage？A
A．Teens use Twitter to thumb rides．
B．Tips on reducing risks in ridesharing．
C．Car is no longer a gateway to freedom．
D．New generation knows how to save money．

1．Who is the most powerful woman in the world？According
to the US media，it's Janet Yellen，or at least she's about to be．
On Oct 9，2013，US President Barack Obama nominated
（提名）Yellen to serve as the next US Federal Reserve （the Fed，美聯(lián)儲(chǔ)）chair．If confirmed by the Senate，Yellen will becomethe first woman to serve in the top spot．
Aged 67，silver-haired and tiny，Yellen is said to be themost qualified nominee ever．She chaired President Bill
Clinton's Council of Economic Advisers，taught at Harvard and Berkeley，and was president of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco．She is currently the Fed's vice chair．
Many think Yellen is the right choice to deal with the challenges the Fed now faces：First，to bring interest rates back to more normal levels without triggering a new recession（衰退）．Second，to reduce the US unemployment rate，which remains at historically high levels．
A CNN opinion piece says Yellen is unusual for an economist of her caliber（才干）．"She has kept her eyes on what's critical-the people．Her research has centered on unemployment，on the best way to modulate（調(diào)整）government policies to benefit the people．"
Past records also show that Yellen is exceptionally good at predicting where the economy is headed．An article in The Washington Post points out that she was one of the few voices at the Fed in December 2009warning about the subprime crisis（次貸危機(jī)）and the following recession．
The reason why Yellen will be the most powerful woman in the world has to do with the unique position of the Federal Reserve，explains an article on Quartz，a US news outlet for business people in the new global economy，
First of all，the Fed is independent．Unlike US Secretaries of State Madeleine Albright and Hilary Clinton，the decisions made by the organization Yellen will lead next year are not subject to approval by anyone in the government．
Within the Fed，the chair alone sets the agenda．The Fed chairperson has huge influence on
monetary policy（貨幣政策）and financial regulation．And don't forget how powerful the Fed itself is．It controls the money supply in the world's largest economy．The Fed's interest rate decisions don't just set the course for the US economy，its decisions set the course for the world economy，too．
Because of globalization，Yellen's decisions will affect everyone around the world，says an article in The Atlantic，making her even more powerful than some great women rulers in history，including Elizabeth I of England and China's Wu Zetian．For example，the article continues："If Yellen even just talks about slowing down the Fed's bond-buying，Europe's troubled economies are likely to see their interest rates rise，and emerging markets，some of which，like India and Indonesia，used foreign capital to fund their current account deficits（赤字），are likely to see their currencies collapse．"

59．According to the passage，which of the following is NOT the reason for Yellen's nomination？C
A．Yellen's professional experiences．
B．Yellen's ability to deal with the challenges the Fed faces．
C．Yellen's educational background．
D．Yellen's remarkable competence as an economist．
60．Janet Yelien will be the most powerful woman in the world becauseD•
A．the Fed is the most powerful organization in the US
B．Yellen gets full support from Obama
C．Yellen holds a unique position in the government
D．the Fed possesses great power and influence
61．What is the author's attitude towards Yellen's being nominated？A
A．Optimistic．  B．Negative．  C．Understanding．  D．Doubtful．
62．What is the author's purpose of writing this passage？B
A．To introduce the US Federal Reserve．
B．To report on the next Fed chair．
C．To introduce the current world economy．
D．To report on a few powerful women．

8．A．How much sleep you need 
Sleep cycles & stages，lack of sleep．
Getting the hours you need to sleep consist of a series of distinct cycles and stages that restore and refresh your body and mind．
Even minimal sleep loss takes a toll on your mood，energy，efficiency and ability to handle stress．
B．Panic attacks and panic disorder
A panic attack is a sudden surge of overwhelming anxiety and fear．Left untreated，panic attacks can lead to panic disorder and other problems．They may even cause you to withdraw from normal activities．But panic is treatable and the sooner you seek helps，the better．
C．How to stop worrying
Continuous doubts and fears are paralyzing，not motivating or productive．Worrying can be，when it spurs you to take action，helpful to solve a problem．You need self-help strategies for anxiety relief．
D．Generalizes anxiety disorder
Everyone gets worried sometimes，but if you have a generalized anxiety disorder （GAD），worries and fears are so constant that they interfere with your ability to function and relax．
E．What you need to know about anti-anxiety drugs
Under guidance from a health professional，medication can relieve some of the symptoms of anxiety，but it requires non-drug treatments to produce lasting changes and continuing relief from anxiety．Medication doesn't cure the underlying problem and is usually not a long-term solution．Anxiety medications also come with side effects and safety concerns，including the risk of addiction．
F．Understanding stress
Modern life is full of hassles，deadlines，frustrations，and demands．For many people，stress is so commonplace that it has become a way of life．Stress isn't always bad．In small doses，it can help you perform under pressure and motivate you to do your best．But when you're constantly running in emergency mode，your mind and body pay the price．

5．While I was in 9 th grade，I built a circuit （電路裝置） for the traffic system of our city．After getting the first prize．I got this valuable advice from my father；"Do whatever interests you，and don't let the work challenge you，make sure you are challenging that work．"
I have always preferred the projects which are challenging and related to real life problems．I clearly remember building a shipping program several years ago．I divided the whole project into several small sections．When I understood it clearly，used my brainstorming skill on it，and gave some basic ideas．Then I asked my professor for help before jumping into coding （編碼）．At first，I did not know how to ask questions correctly and always asked the question"How do I do it？"As I  kept working and discussed with my professor，I became more comfortable and those"how"questions soon turned into"what if I do this and that"types of questions．
It took me four days to write the code．The desire to solve the problem kept me sleepless all nights brainstorming in even greater details．Every time I saw my program running smoothly，I exploded with joy．I still remember the last day of my work．I was getting some problem and didn't know what to do．At that moment，a man came in to clean．He has headphones，and he was dancing while cleaning the room．Seeing this，I burst out laughing．That moment calmed me．I regained energy and interest and started to work again，and soon I fixed the problem．

6．Scientists have discovered a real-life"moral compass"in the brain that controls how we judge other people's behavior．The region，which lies just behind the right ear，becomes more active when we think about other people's misdemeanor or good works．
In an experiment，researchers were able to use powerful magnets to disturb this area of the brain and make people temporarily less moral．The study discovers that our sense of right and wrong isn't just based on upbringing，religion or philosophy-but also by the biology of our brains．
The researchers used a non-invasive technique to disrupt the area of the brain．The technique generates a magnetic field on a small part of the skull which creates weak electric currents in the brain．These currents interfere（干擾） with nearby brain cells and prevent them from firing normally．
One story described a man who let his girlfriend walk over a bridge he knew was unsafe．The girl survived unharmed．Under normal conditions，most people rate the man's behavior as unacceptable．But after getting the magnetic pulse，the volunteers tended to see nothing wrong with his actions-and judged his behavior purely on whether his girlfriend survived．
Another story described two girls visiting a chemical plant where one girl asks her friend to put sugar in her coffee．The friend uses powder from a jar marked toxic （有毒的）-but as the powder turns out to be sugar．Volunteers with a disrupted moral compass tended to rate the girl's behavior as permissible because her friend was not injured-even though she was aware the powder came from a jar labeled toxic．
Throughout the experiment，irresponsible or deliberate actions that might have resulted in harm were seen as morally acceptable if the story had a"happy ending"．

29．What's the probable meaning of the underlined word"misdemeanor"in Paragraph 1B？
A．Behavior
B．Misdeed
C．Fate
D．Adaption
30．The third paragraph mainly tells usA．
A．how the powerful magnets disrupt the area of the brain
B．what harm the powerful magnets bring to the brain
C．whether the powerful magnets can disrupt the area
D．how researchers spot the area with powerful magnets
31．What do the two stories want to tell us？B
A．People who like playing jokes on others is controlled by"moral compass"．
B．People judge others'behavior acceptable or not by the"moral compass"．
C．Whether people's behavior is acceptable or not is judged by a happy ending．
D．Different behavior controlled by the"moral compass"are all acceptable．
