　　Winters are long in North Dakota. The winter of 1996 was especially brutal. It was a difficult time in my own life too. A neck injury had kept me in bed for nearly a year. I was finally allowed up for short periods in March. “Just in time for Easter,” my husband, Dick, said. But how could I feel the joy when the snow was four feet deep and I had months of painful physical treatment ahead?

　　I was doing the dishes one day, feeling hopeless. Suddenly there was a tap against the glass. It was a branch of a cottonwood (棉白杨).

　　Back in the fall of 1979, it was a new subdivision (细枝) then, an eight-foot stick. A neighbor had placed it next to the pump. The earth was so wet that the poor thing had fallen down, most of its roots pointing towards the sky. Dick decided to pull it out one day, but I disagreed.

　　“Look at how hard it’s trying! It deserves a chance,” I said.

　　Dick borrowed some tools. We packed dry soil around the tree, and supported it with a stake, making it stand upright. By the 1990s, that little stick was a big tree.

　　Now the tapping at the window continued, louder as the wind picked up. I looked up. And I caught my breath. In the extreme cold winter, the tree was bursting with life. I stood at the window for a long time. And I felt as if I had become much better. We had a wonderful Easter that year.

　　24.

　　(1) The underlined word “brutal” in Paragraph 1 probably means ____.

　　A. busy B. hard C. short D. early

　　(词义猜测)根据第一段“Winters are long in North Dakota. The winter of 1996 was especially brutal. It was a difficult time in my own life too.”可知，北达科他州的冬天很长，1996年的冬天特别残酷，那也是我人生中最艰难的时间。故选B。

　　25.

　　(2) What can we infer from the text?

　　A. The author had once suffered a severe injury.

　　B. The author never did housework at home.

　　C. The author planted the cottonwood at first.

　　D. Dick saved the new subdivision unwillingly.

　　(细节理解)根据文章第一段可知，作者曾经受过很严重的伤。故选A。

　　26.

　　(3) How did Dick rescue the new subdivision?

　　A. By supporting the stick firmly.

　　B. By watering the stick regularly.

　　C. By spreading fertilizer on the fields.

　　D. By looking after it day and night.

　　(细节理解)根据文章第五段“We packed dry soil around the tree, and supported it with a stake, making it stand upright.”可知，作者和丈夫Dick在树的周围堆积了干燥的土壤，并用桩支撑它，使它直立起来。故选A。

　　27.

　　(4) What would be the best title for the text?

　　A. An unforgettable Easter.

　　B. The growth of a cottonwood.

　　C. Hope arrived by saving a dying tree.

　　D. Hope brought by the tap at the window.

　　(主旨大意)根据文章内容可知，在复活节那天作者和丈夫挽救了一支棉白杨的细枝，并且让作者感觉自己的身体变得更好了，应是一个难忘的复活节。故选A。

　　C

　　One of the biggest challenges facing brick-and-mortar retailers (实体零售店) in recent years has been the “showrooming”. Driven by the desire to get the best prices, many shoppers are now visiting brick-and-mortar stores to personally check on products that interest them, only to leave and then buy the items online. The new trend is forcing retailers to find out new ways to keep consumers from leaving their store for cheaper prices online.

　　Recent research found that 40 percent of U.S. shoppers have showroomed previously, with big-box retailers suffering the most. Specifically, the study shows that Best Buy, Walmart and Target are the most likely brick-and-mortar stores to have shoppers test out a product in-store and then purchase it online later, while Amazon is benefiting most from the practice, with nearly 60 percent of shoppers using the online retail giant (巨人) most often to make their showrooming purchases.

　　Smartphones have pushed showrooming into the front. Shoppers no longer have to wait until they get home to see if they can find a cheaper price for the products they’re considering buying. With smartphones, consumers can now compare virtual prices, at both other brick-and-mortar stores and online ones while still inside a retail store. If they can find what they’re seeking for less online, the majority will be seeking the first exit. A recent study showed that 45 percent of customers shopping at brick-and-mortar stores walk out and buy their purchase online for a discount of as little as 2.5 percent.

　　This puts pressure on retailers to provide both an in-store experience worth staying for and an online presence that can attract shoppers who are showrooming in other businesses.

　　To cut down on showrooming, many retailers are adopting new methods to keep shoppers in their stores. Among the steps they’re taking are price-matching guarantees that allow shoppers to pay a discounted price if they find it cheaper online. This ensures that even a showrooming shopper can make the purchase in the store—regardless of whether they find the cheaper price online.

　　Another popular method to fight against showrooming is to give shoppers the ability to buy something online and pick it up at the store. This reduces shipping costs and gets customers in the store, where they may be encouraged to make an additional purchase.

　　It is also important for businesses to take into consideration what makes shoppers purchase something in-store rather than online, and meet those needs. Research has found that more than 8 in 10 Americans consider being able to take the goods home immediately and the ability to touch and feel them—the most important aspects when deciding to purchase in a store rather than online.

　　28.

　　(1) According to the passage, a showrooming shopper tends to ____.

　　A. pay for everything online

　　B. have better bargaining skills

　　C. rush to buy things in a store

　　D. purchase online for a lower price

　　(细节理解)根据文章第一段“Driven by the desire to get the best prices, many shoppers are now visiting brick-and-mortar stores to personally check on products that interest them, only to leave and then buy the items online.”可知，这个群体的消费者一般都是先从实体店里看过试过想购买的商品，然后再通过网络购买便宜一点的。故选D。

　　29.

　　(2) What contributes to the growing popularity of showrooming?

　　A. The wide use of smartphones.

　　B. The competition between big stores.

　　C. The advertisement by online retail giants.

　　D. The decline of the brick-and-mortar stores.

　　(细节理解)根据文章第三段“Smartphones have pushed showrooming into the front.”可知，正是智能手机推动了这种现象。故选A。

　　30.

　　(3) The underlined words “seeking the first exit” in Paragraph 3 probably mean ____.

　　A. searching for lower prices

　　B. leaving as soon as possible

　　C. locating the first exit quickly

　　D. making a purchase on the spot

　　(逻辑推理)根据对划线句子前后句的理解可知，在消费者通过网络搜寻到这种货物在网络中的售价比实体店的售价便宜后，可推断他们会立刻离开实体店，然后在网店下单购买。故选B。

　　31.

　　(4) The last three paragraphs mainly talk about ways of ____.

　　A. increasing sales at stores

　　B. preventing purchase online

　　C. satisfying customers’ needs

　　D. advising shoppers to buy more

　　(细节理解)根据文章后三段的每段首句都可以看出，这三段都是在提供如何让实体店挽回顾客的一些方法与措施。故选A。

　　D

　　British people who go to the US are very likely to hear one sentence a lot: “I just love listening to your accent!” Sometimes it seems that Americans can’t get enough of the way we sound. And a recent survey has supported this idea.

　　The airline British Airways asked over 1,000 British people and 1,000 Americans to tell them their choice for the sexiest accent. And the results were unsurprising for any Britons who have spent time in the US—people in the US said our accent was their favorite.

　　However, perhaps surprisingly, they didn’t say they went craziest for the “Queen’s English”. They made it clear that a Scottish accent, like that of tennis player Andy Murray or actor Ewan McGregor, who starred in the movie Moulin Rouge! (2001) was their preferred kind of British accent.

　　When asked to choose their sexiest accent, Britons went for the voice of US actor Morgan Freeman, who starred in The Shawshank Redemption (1994) and Lucy (2014). This was probably because the actor’s voice is known to be easy to listen to and sounds intelligent. More generally, Britons also chose the New York accent, which caused The Huffington Post’s American editor Suzy Strutner to write, “Wait… what?” in disbelief. Funnily enough, only one in five Britons asked could find New York on a map, so they may have been thinking of a different accent when they chose one that many in the US think is uncultured.

　　More than anything, the survey perhaps shows how accents can sound very different to people who are not used to hearing them. For example, I personally enjoy the sound of many American accents, but people from the US can’t believe that I would prefer them to ones from my own country. The results of the survey also support this idea, as Britons and Americans’ overall sexiest accent belongs to the emotional and loving Italians. Perhaps you just sound better when you speak to people you don’t spend much time with!

　　32.

　　(1) The article is mainly about ____.

　　A. a comparison of British and American accents

　　B. a survey about the sexiest accents

　　C. why Americans and Britons love each other’s accents

　　D. the fact that Britons and Americans’ favorite accents are unfamiliar ones

　　主旨大意

　　根据文章最后一段的中心句“More than anything, the survey perhaps shows how accents can sound very different to people who are not used to hearing them.”可知，文章主要证明了是英国人和美国人最喜欢的口音是他们不熟悉的口音。故答案选D。

　　33.

　　(2) According to the survey, which of the following statements is TRUE?

　　A. Americans were found to think that British accents in movies sound sexier.

　　B. Britons feel surprised that their accent is popular with Americans.

　　C. The “Queen’s English” is regarded as the sexiest accent by Americans.

　　D. A Scottish accent was unexpectedly found to be Americans’ favorite accent.

　　细节理解

　　根据文章第二段最后一句“And the results were unsurprising for any Britons who have spent time in the US—people in the US said our accent was their favorite.”可知，美国人喜欢英国人的口音，这让英国人感到惊讶。故答案选B。

　　34.

　　(3) Many Americans think the New York accent is ____.

　　A. the sexiest American accent

　　B. spoken by people with a lower level of education

　　C. easy to understand and sounds intelligent

　　D. favored by American actors and editors

　　细节理解

　　根据文章第四段最后一句中的“so they may have been thinking of a different accent when they chose one that many in the US think is uncultured.”可知，美国人认为纽约口音是uncultured，故答案选B。

　　35.

　　(4) It can be concluded from the article that ____.

　　A. the author prefers British accents to American ones

　　B. the sexiest accents belong to actors

　　C. people may prefer an accent that they are unfamiliar with

　　D. there is no arguing with the fact that everyone thinks the Italian accent is the sexiest

　　逻辑推理

　　根据文章最后一句“Perhaps you just sound better when you speak to people you don’t spend much time with!”可推知，人们更喜欢他们不熟悉的口音。故答案选C。#p#副标题#e#
