13.We've all made the excuses.But the successful ones are those who can kill the excuses like they are miserable maggots (蛆蟲).(36)B   
See the positive.
Excuses are usually made because we don't feel like doing something-we're stressing the negative.(37)E    And maintain a positive attitude,or you'll never beat the excuses.
Take responsibility.
Excuses are ways to get out of owning up to something.If we don't have the time,money,equipment,etc.,then it's not our fault,right?Wrong.Take action and own the solution.
(38)A   
Just about every problem has a solution.Don't have time?Start with just 5-10 minutes.Make the time.Wake earlier.Do it during lunch.Don't have the energy?Do it when you have higher levels of energy.You're smart.Figure out the solution.
See your goal.
This is your motivation-your reason for doing it.Sure,you could just lay on the couch (長沙發(fā)),but if you think about why you really want to pursue a goal,you'll be motivated.(39)D   
Be responsible.
Have a workout partner,a project partner,a team,someone to report to.If you have to meet a coach or partner,you're more likely to do something.(40)C  

A.Find a solution.
B.Here's how to kill them.
C.Watch this and then go and do it.
D.Imagine that goal and just get started.
E.Instead,see the fun in something and the joy in it.
F.Analyze the nature of every problem you meet with.
G.However,those unsuccessful ones don't know how to handle them.

Good skin care and healthy lifestyle choices can help delay the natural aging process and prevent various skin problems.Get started with these four tips.(36)A  
◆Don't smoke
Smoking makes your skin look older and contributes to wrinkles.Smoking narrows the tiny blood vessels in the outermost layers of skin,which decreases blood flow.(37)G  Smoking also damages the fibers that give your skin strength and elasticity.Besides,the repetitive facial expressions you make when smoking can contribute to wrinkles.
◆Manage stress
Uncontrolled stress can make your skin more sensitive and cause other skin problems.To encourage healthy skin and a healthy state of mind,take steps to manage your stress.Set reasonable limits,cut down on your to-do list and make time to do the things you enjoy.(38)E   
◆Have a healthy diet
A healthy diet can help you look and feel your best.(39)F  The association between diet and acne isn't clear,but some research suggests that a diet rich in vitamin C and low in unhealthy fats and processed or refined carbohydrates might promote younger-looking skin.
◆(40)B

There are four seasons in a year and each is unique.However,autumn is the one I like best.Below are the reason why I have a preference for them
It seems to me what autumn is the most grand and impressive season in a year.First of all,neither can I suffer summer's heat,or can I go through winter's coldness at this time.In addition,it is general acknowledged that autumn is symbol of harvest.The smile from farmers,who are getting a good harvest,always making me happy.What is the most important is that autumn also see leaves of bushes and trees to turn red,gold or orange.What a colorful world it is!
That's why I like autumn better.

18.She had consented to go away,to leave her home.Was that wise?She tried to weigh each side of the question.In her home anyway she had shelter and food;she had those whom she had known all her life about her.Of course she had to work hard,both in the house and at the stores.
But in her new home,in a distant unknown country,it would not be like that.Then she would be married-she,Eveline.People would treat her with respect then.She would not be treated as her mother had been.Even now,though she was over nineteen,she sometimes felt herself in danger of her father's violence.She knew it was that that had given her the palpitations.When they were growing up he had never gone for her like he used to go for Harry and Ernest,because she was a girl and latterly he had begun to threaten her and say what he would do to her only for her dead mother's sake.And now she had nobody to protect her.Ernest was dead and Harry,who was in the church decorating business,was nearly always down somewhere in the country.She always gave her entire wages and Harry always sent up what he could but the trouble was to get any money from her father.
She was about to explore another life with Frank.Frank was very kind,manly,open-hearted.She was to go away with him by the night-boat to be his wife and to live with him in Buenos Ayres where he had a home waiting for her.How well she remembered the first time she had seen him;He used to meet her outside the Stores every evening and see her home.People knew that they were courting.Of course,her father had found out the affair and had forbidden her to have anything to say to him.
The white of two letters in her lap grew indistinct.One was to Harry;the other was to her father.Ernest had been her favourite but she liked Harry too.Her father was becoming old lately,she noticed;he would miss her.Sometimes he could be very nice.Not long before,when she had been laid up for a day,he had read her out a ghost story and made toast for her at the fire.Another day,when their mother was alive,they had all gone for a picnic to the Hill of Howth.She remembered her father putting on her mothers bonnet to make the children laugh.
Her time was running out but she continued to sit by the window.Down far in the avenue she could hear a street organ playing.She knew the air.Strange that it should come that very night to remind her of the promise to her mother,her promise to keep the home together as long as she could.
As she mused (沉思),the pitiful vision of her mother's life laid its spell on the bottom of her heart.She stood up in a sudden impulse of terror.Escape!She must escape!Frank would save her.He would give her life,perhaps love,too.
She stood among the swaying crowd in the station at the North Wall.He held her hand and she knew that he was speaking to her,saying something about the passage over and over again.She answered nothing.She felt her cheek pale and cold and,out of a maze of distress,she prayed to God to direct her,to show her what was her duty.The boat blew a long mournful whistle into the mist.If she went,tomorrow she would be on the sea with Frank,steaming towards Buenos Ayres.Their passage had been booked.Could she still draw back after all he had done for her?Her distress awoke a nausea in her body and she kept moving her lips in silent fervent prayer.
A bell clanged upon her heart.She felt him seize her hand:
"Come!Come!"
No!No!No!It was impossible.Her hands clutched the iron in frenzy.Amid the seas she sent a cry of anguish.
"Eveline!Evvy!"
He rushed beyond the barrier and called to her to follow.He was shouted at to go on but he still called to her.She set her white face to him,passive,like a helpless animal.Her eyes gave him no sign of love or farewell or recognition.

65.Which of the following is true of Eveline's life?A
A.She fell in love with Frank.

5.Amsterdam is one of the most popular travel destinations in the world,famous for its beautiful canals,top art museum,cycling culture,and Red Light District.It is the capital and most populous city in the Netherlands and often referred to as the"Venice of the North"because of its expansive system of bridges and canals.Here are some of the key points to remember as you plan your trip to Amsterdam.
Peak SeasonPopulationLanguage(s)CurrencyJanuary ClimateJuly Climate
May to October813,562DutchEuroAverage high:5.8°CAverage high:22.0°C
Must-See Attractions
Most visitors begin their Amsterdam adventure in the Old Centre,which is full of traditional architecture,shopping centers,and coffee shops.Don't miss the Dam Square and the areas around Spui and Nieuwmarkt.The infamous Red Light District is also in this area,and definitely worth a visit to see what the hype (炒作) is about.You'll also want to check out Amsterdam's Museum Quarter in the South District,which is great for shopping at the Albert Cuyp Market and having a picnic in the Vondelpark.The top museums to visit are the Rijksmusuem,the Ann Frank House,and the Van Gogh Museum.
If You Have Time
There are several other unique districts in Amsterdam,and you should try to explore as many of them as time allows.The Canal Ring is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that was originally built to attract wealthy home owners and is a hub for celebrity spotting and nightlife today.The Plantage area has most of the city's museums,including the Jewish Historical Museum,the Scheepvaart Museum,and the botanical gardens.
Free Things to Do
•Have a picnic and bring a bottle of wine to relax and people-watch in Vondelpark
•Soak up some sun at one of the city's beaches
•Take a stroll along the canals,smell the flowers,and browse markets along the way
•Hop on one of several free ferry services across the IJ River for lovely city views
Transportation 
Travelers should be aware that Amsterdam Airport Schiphol is one of the busiest airports in the world.This airport is located about 15kilometers southwest of city center.You can catch a train from Schiphol to Amsterdam Central Station,which has many connecting routes.It's typically not a good idea to drive a car to the city center because traffic is congested and parking is difficult to find.Cycling is incredibly popular here,and it's easy to find cheap bike rentals around town.Amsterdam has a flat terrain and is a great city to explore on foot.
Money Saving Tips
•Unless you really want to see the tulips blooming,avoid booking between mid-March and mid-May.This is when hotel and flight prices surge.
•Look for accommodations in Amsterdam's South District,where rates are generally cheaper than in the city center.
•Buy train tickets at the machine instead of the counter to save a bit of money
•Instead of hiring a tour guide,hop on a canal boat.They're inexpensive and will give you a unique point of view of the city.
•Check out our homepage to view price comparisons for flights,hotels,and rental cars before you book.

56.From the passage we can know thatB.
A.Amsterdam's peak season is caused by tulip blooming.
B.it's a good idea to explore Amsterdam on a canal boat.
C.you must go to the Plantage area to appreciate Van Gogh's paintings
D.buying the train tickets at the counter is money-saving.
57.Which part is most likely missing from the passage above?D
A.City History.
B.Van Gogh's Life Story.
C.Cycling Culture
D.Recommended Restaurants.

3.How do you pay for things in a shop?Perhaps you like the touchable reliability of hard cash?Maybe the financial flexibility of a credit card suits you better?Or perhaps you prefer the simple convenience of a smartphone?
Whatever you use today,experts believe all these methods could soon become outdated.Instead,we will use our bodies:our eyes,our fingerprints,even our mere presence in the store.In fact it's happening already.Amazon are trialing stores which have no checkouts,where  technology tracks the items you've taken from the shelves and deducts(扣除) the total from your  account when you leave the shop.
French supermarket Monoprix takes a different path:you choose your groceries and leave them with a human cashier.You then leave the shop while the cashier adds up your bill,charges your account,and organizes delivery to your home.
Amir,CEO of Barclaycard predicts that such new developments mean the end of the plastic credit card.Instead,wearable items such as rings,necklaces and key chains will carry chips(芯片) that allow shoppers to shop,going between the web,an app or in store.
And while all the above payment methods are supported by accounts held in traditional currencies,let's not forget the rise of alternatives such as Litecoin.Virtual(虛擬) currencies can rise in value very quickly.One such possibility is explored in the movie In Time.It imagines a futuristic society in which the currency is time itself,where people trade the amount of time they have left to live.
Or perhaps we'd do better to wind back the clock to the simpler financial world of the equal exchange economy.While the term recalls images of bags of grain and herds of sheep being exchanged in ancient times,there are signs that are making a comeback in today's world of modern technology.Maybe the only thing we know for certain is that money will keep updating.

28.Which of the following statements is TRUE?C
A.Payment is done by the cashiers at Amazon.
B.All the methods of payment have become outdated.
C.Shopping at Monoprix is convenient for customers.
D.Customers can leave their credit cards at Monoprix.
29.What might replace the credit cards in the future according to Amir?B
A.Smartphones.
B.Wearable items.
C.Virtual currencies.
D.Fingerprints.
30.What is used as a currency in the movie In Time?C
A.Litecoin.
B.Human life.
C.Time.
D.Bags of grain.
31.Which is the best title for the passage?D
A.The Rise of Virtual Currencies.
B.The History of Money.
C.The Ending if Credit Cards.
D.The Changing Nature of Money.
