    C
    There is a place where Christmas lives all year long. It is called Bronner’s Christmas Wonderland in Frankenmuth, Michigan. The family-owned business calls itself the world’s largest Christmas store. The late Wally Bronner started the business in 1945.
    Wayne Bronner, Wally’s son, is president and CEO of what is now a multi-million dollar corporation. He learned the business from an early age. Some of his best memories are traveling to other countries with his father to find new products for the store.
    Bronner’s sells more than fifty thousand holiday products from seventy nations. Half of the products cost less than ten dollars. Wayne Bronner says demand for small objects to hang on Christmas trees has expanded over the years. People spend more time, effort and money into decorating their homes with these ornaments(装饰品), lights and religious scenes. Bronner’s is famous for its nativity scenes which show the birth of Jesus Christ.
    Michigan has the nation’s highest unemployment rate. Bronner’s has been affected by the financial crisis, too. But not in reduced sales.
    Wayne Bronner said, “Even though people are spending less, we’re having more people visit here. And as a result we’ve actually had a sales increase.” Bronner’s success is also linked to community co-operation and investment. Frankenmuth is a town of five thousand people in eastern Michigan’s farm country. The town was settled by Bavarian Germans in the 1800s. It has kept its traditions alive in buildings and restaurants.
    Bavarian cultural themes and Bronner’s huge store bring three million visitors a year. The town is the most popular place for tourists in the state. Bronner’s business is aimed at a single day of the year. But that is not too different from other businesses.
    “About half of our business is done in the last quarter of the year, in the last three months. And actually when you compare that with most retailers(零售商), that follows the same pattern.” Wayne Bronner says the family’s long-term planning and willingness to reinvest profits has grown the company into what it is today. Still, it does not hurt to build a business on a holiday which is celebrated worldwide. Currently, about only two percent of sales are overseas. But Wayne Bronner sees room for growth, especially through the Internet.
    51. Bronner’s Christmas Wonderland is probably ______.
    A. a private business            B. a state-run business
    C. the world’s largest store       D. a nationalized corporation
    52. Bronner’s mainly sells ______.
    A. festival ornaments made by themselves
    B. holiday products imported from foreign countries
    C. festival ornaments during the summer and winter holidays
    D. holiday products to tourists from foreign countries
    53. We can learn from the passage that ________.
    　 A. most of Bronner’s products are expensive
    B. people are spending less money on small objects
    C. Frankenmuth is a modern town popular with tourists
    D. Wally Bronner, founder of Bronner’s, has passed away
    54. In what way has the financial crisis affected Bronner’s Christmas Wonderland?
    A. Many of its staff have lost their jobs.
    B. Only two percent of sales are overseas.
    C. The corporation has had an increased sale.
    D. People are spending less in Bronner’s.
    55. Bronner’s success lies in the following EXCEPT ________.
    A. aiming its business at a single day of the year
    B. community co-operation and investment
    C. the family’s long-term planning
    D. the willingness to reinvest profits

    二、完形填空（共20小题；每小题1. 5分，满分30分）
    Years ago, if a teenager had some problems in her life, she might go home and write in her diary. Now, a teenager with   16   problems might go onto the Internet and write about his problems in a blog. In many ways a diary and a blog are very   17  . So, what makes blogging different from writing in   18   diary?
    The biggest difference is that blogging is much more   19   than a diary. Usually, a teenager treats his diary like a book full of   20   that she does not want to   21 
    It’s interesting that someone who writes in a blog   22   a diary will probably write nearly the same information.
    I have a little sister, and sometimes I go online to read her   23   . She writes about things like waking up early for swimming practice and not studying enough for her chemistry test.  24  I was her age, I wrote about the same things, but   25   in my diary. Then, after I had finished writing, I would hide my diary in a secret place because I was   26   that my sister might read it!
    The biggest   27   with blogging is that anyone can read what you write. If I was angry with a friend during high school and wrote something   28   about her in my diary, she would never know!   29, if my sister ever wrote something bad about a friend, that friend   30  read her blog and get a “cry”.
    There are also   31   to blogging, of course. If I felt sad one day and wrote in my diary: “Nobody cares about me.”   32   would know about it. However, if my sister wrote the same sentence in her blog, her best friends would   33   respond（回应）and tell her how much they  _34   her. Blogs help people   35   in contact with their friends and know what the people around them are doing.
    16. A. the same      B. troublesome       C. difficult      D. daily

    阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
    A
    In 1971 a young man who grew up very poor was traveling across the country, trying to make a start for himself. Along the way he had completely run out of money and was forced to spend the night in his car. This continued until one morning, after a week of sleeping in his car, he walked nervously into a restaurant and ordered a big breakfast.
    After eating his first good meal in weeks, he found himself lying to the waiter, telling him he had lost his wallet. The waiter, who was also the owner, walked behind the chair where the young man had been sitting. He bent down and came up with a $20 bill that looked as if it had been fallen on the floor and said, “Son, you must have dropped this” the owner said. The young man couldn’t believe his luck! He quickly paid for the breakfast, left a tip, bought gas with the change and headed west.
    On the way out of town, he began to understand what the waiter did. Maybe nobody dropped the money at all. “Maybe that fellow just knew I was in trouble and he helped me in a way that didn’t embarrass me. So I just made a promise to help other people if I can.”
    Later, he worked very hard and became a rich man. Now, he lives near Kansas City. Each year he gives away thousands of dollars. He is known as the “Secret Santa” because at Christmas time each year, he personally hands money out to those on the street and at restaurants. Last year, he gave more than $50,000 away in Kansas City.

    57. The underlined word “this” in paragraph 2 means ______.
    A. a wallet    B. his luck    C. the $20 bill    D. his tip
    58. On the way out of town, the young man got to know that ______.
    A. it was very honest of the owner to return his money
    B. another man who had breakfast in the restaurant lost the money
    C. he could find a job in the restaurant
    D. the owner helped him in a way that didn’t hurt his feelings.
    59. From this text we can see that ______.
    A. the man dropped $20 on the floor of the restaurant
    B. the man did carry out his promise
    C. Santa gives the man money each year
    D. the man was not successful in the end
    60. The best title for this passage may be ______.

    D
    It was Sunday morning. All the summer world was bright and fresh, and full of life. There was cheer on every face and a spring in every step.
    Tom appeared on the sidewalk with a bucket of whitewash and a long-handled brush. He stopped by the fence in front of the house where he lived with his aunt Polly. He looked at it, and all joy left him. The fence was long and high. He put the brush into the whitewash and moved it along the top of the fence. He repeated the operation. He felt he could not continue and sat down.
    He knew that his friends would arrive soon with all kinds of interesting plans for the day. They would walk past him and laugh. They would make jokes about his having to work on a beautiful summer Saturday. The thought burned him like fire.
    He put his hand into his pockets and took out all that he owned. Perhaps he could find some way to pay someone to do the whitewashing for him. But there was nothing of value in his pockets—nothing that could buy even half an hour of freedom. So he put the bits of toys back into his pockets and gave up the idea.
    At this dark and hopeless moment, a wonderful idea came to him. It filled his mind with a great, bright light. Calmly he picked up the brush and started again to whitewash.
    While Tom was working, Ben Rogers appeared. Ben was eating an apple as he walked along the street. As he walked along, he was making noises like the sound of a riverboat. First he shouted loudly, like a boat captain. Then he said “Ding-Dong-Dong”, “Ding-Dong-Dong” again and again, like the bell of a riverboat. And he made other strange noises. When he came close to Tom, he stopped.
    Tom went on whitewashing. He did not look at Ben. Ben stared a moment and then said: "Hello! I’m going swimming, but you can’t go, can you?”
    No answer. Tom moved his brush carefully along the fence and looked at the result with the eye of an artist. Ben came nearer. Tom's mouth watered for the apple, but he kept on working.
    Ben said, "Hello, old fellow, you’ve got to work, hey?"
    Tom turned suddenly and said, "Why, it's you, Ben! I wasn't noticing."
    "Say — I'm going swimming. Don't you wish you could? But of course you’d rather work — wouldn't you? Of course you would."
    Tom looked at the boy a bit, and said "What do you call work?"
    "Why, isn't that work?"
    Tom went back to his whitewashing, and answered casually,
    "Well, maybe it is, and maybe it isn't. All I know is, it suits Tom Sawyer."
    "Oh come, now, you don't mean to say that you like it?"
    The brush continued to move.
    "Like it? Well, I don't see why I shouldn’t like it. Does a boy get a chance to whitewash a fence every day?" Ben stopped eating his apple. Tom moved his brush back and forth, stepped back to look at the result, added a touch here and there, and stepped back again. Ben watched every move and got more and more interested. Soon he said,
    "Say, Tom, let me whitewash a little."
    Tom thought for a moment, was about to agree; but he changed his mind:
    "No — no — it won’t do, Ben. You see, Aunt Polly wants this fence to be perfect. It has got to be done very carefully. I don’t think there is one boy in a thousand, maybe two thousand, that can do it well enough."
    "No — is that so? Oh come, now —let me just try. Only just a little."
    "Ben, I'd like to, but if it isn’t done right, I’m afraid Aunt Polly— "
    "Oh, I'll be careful. Now let me try. Say -- I'll give you the core（核心）of my apple."
    "Well, here — No, Ben, now don't. I'm afraid —"
    "I'll give you all of it."
    Tom gave up the brush with unwillingness on his face, but joy in his heart. And while Ben worked at the fence in the hot sun, Tom sat under a tree, eating the apple, and planning how to get more help. There were enough boys. Each one came to laugh, but remained to whitewash. By the time Ben was tired, Tom sold the next chance to Billy for a kite; and when Billy was tired, Johnny bought in for a dead rat — and so on, hour after hour. And when the middle of the afternoon came, Tom had won many treasures
