【題目】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 knowing what to buy．This has led to a type of shopping called “show rooming”．

Show rooming 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 show roomed 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 girls．

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 show rooming，you get the best of both worlds!

【解析】

試題分析: 目前,國(guó)內(nèi)外興起了一種購(gòu)物方式—Show rooming（商品展廳）。Show rooming指的是消費(fèi)者在零售店挑選商品,然后在網(wǎng)上購(gòu)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(gòu)物對(duì)商場(chǎng)的沖擊進(jìn)行了分析，指出商場(chǎng)必須做出相應(yīng)的改變來迎接這一挑戰(zhàn)。

【1】A推理判斷題。本文內(nèi)容是介紹網(wǎng)上購(gòu)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，答案選A。

【2】A細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由文章第二段Show rooming 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show rooming指的是去實(shí)體店看或者試用產(chǎn)品，然后去網(wǎng)上購(gòu)買，故答案選A。

【3】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show rooming的原因，答案選B。

【4】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(gòu)的增多而倒閉，但是商場(chǎng)卻的確需要一些改變，答案選C。

【5】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(duì)show rooming持贊同的觀點(diǎn)，答案選C。

【題目】Researchers are finding new ways to save snakebite victims.Experts discussed the latest findings during a recent conference.

Scientists in Australia have shown that a chemical called nitric oxide could increase the chances of surviving a poisonous snakebite.The scientists injected rats with a deadly amount of snake venom.Then they rubbed an ointment(軟膏)containing nitric oxide on the skin around the injection site.The study found that the rats lived about one-third longer than if nitric oxide had not been used.But the treatment had to be started very quickly.

Dirk van Helden led the research.He says the nitric oxide ointment also showed promise in humans.The study appeared earlier this year in the journal Nature Medicine.Scientists say the findings could help save many lives.A recent study found that poisonous snakes cause as many as ninety-four thousand deaths worldwide each year.But Ulrich Kuch of the Biodiversity and Climate Research Center in Frankfurt,Germany,says that number appears to be low.

Mr Kuch says many deaths could be prohibited if snakebite victims are treated correctly,but they often go to traditional healers or do not seek any help at all.He said,“Sometimes it’s because there is no treatment available—no antivenom(抗蛇毒血清),which is the specific(特殊的)drug to treat snakebites—or health care staff do not know how to treat snakebites,and sometimes its because transportation to get to a health facility is not available or too expensive.

Here is no single antivenom that can be used to treat all snakebites.The antivenom must be specific to the kind of snake that bit the person.In some countries the treatment is costly,while in others there is no such treatment.

【1】What is this passage mainly about?( )

A.Snakebite deaths around the world.

B.Progress in fighting snakebite deaths.

C.Snakebite treatment around the world.

D.The chances of surviving a poisonous snakebite.

【2】After being rubbed an ointment containing nitric oxide,the rats .

A.suffered no pain

B.died immediately

C.lived a little longer

D.started feeling uncomfortable

【3】What does Paragraph 3 suggest?( )

A.The number of deaths caused by snakebites is becoming lower each year.

B.The nitric oxide ointment has saved thousands of people’s lives.

C.It is very important to find an effective way to treat snakebites.

D.The number of deaths caused by snakebites worldwide is low.

【4】What does the underlined word “prohibited” in Paragraph 4 mean?( )

A. caused. B.considered.

C.examined. D.prevented.

【5】What is implied in the last paragraph?( )

A.Antivenom can be made very easily.

B.It’s very important to use the correct antivenom to treat snakebite victims.

C.Antivenom is extremely expensive all over the world.

D.A person bitten by a snake will survive as long as there is antivenom.

【題目】An old friend from California called from the airport to tell me that he had arrived. I was not able to leave the office, but I had made plans for his arrival. After explaining where my new house was, I told him that I had left the key under the doormat (門墊). Since I knew it would be pretty late before I could get home, I suggested that he make himself at home and help himself to anything that was in the refrigerator.

Two hours later my friend phoned me from the house. At the moment, he said, he was listening to some of my records after having had a delicious meal. Now, he said, he was drinking a glass of orange juice. When I asked him if he had had any difficulty finding the house, he answered that the only problem was that he had not been able to find the key under the doormat, but luckily, the living room window by the apple tree had been left open and he had climbed in through the window. I listened to all this in great surprise. There is no apple tree outside my window, but there is one by the living room window of my next door neighbor's house!
