Imagine the situation. You are driving along a desert or on a mountain. You have no idea where you are. You passed the last house two hours ago. Then your car breaks down.   小題1: You have no mobile phone. What should you do? Well, next time take a GPS with you. This invention may be able to help you.   小題2:  It can find your position to within 20 metres. A GPS cannot start your car, but at least you will know where you are.
GPS, which means Global Positioning System, is a small radio receiver. It looks like a mobile phone.  小題3:  We also find GPS devices in cars, planes, or boats. Some of these devices have electronic maps, so you know where you are.   小題4:
Some people think that in the future the GPS will be as common as the mobile.   小題5:  here are also new uses for the GPS. Perhaps they will become like watches. Everyone will have one and you will never be lost again.

A:It is a device(裝置) which uses satellites to find the user’s position.
B: For example, in a city they can tell you the name of the street.
C:It is night and it is cold.
D: There are three parts to the Global Positioning System.
E: You can hold it in your hand, or put in your pocket.
F:They are becoming cheaper and more and more accurate(精確的).

小題1:C
小題2:A
小題3:E
小題4:B
小題5:F

試題分析：這篇短文介紹GPS定位系統(tǒng)。它可以在20米內(nèi)搜尋到你的位置，非常方便。有些裝置還置有電子地圖，并預(yù)測(cè)了為來的定位系統(tǒng)將會(huì)非常普及。
小題1:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。聯(lián)系上下文，可知都是在描述假設(shè)你當(dāng)時(shí)所處的情況，故選C，正是夜晚還很冷。
小題2:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)下文It can find your position to within 20 metres.“它可以在20米內(nèi)搜尋到你的位置�！笨芍窃诮榻B這一定位系統(tǒng)，故選A，這是一個(gè)利用衛(wèi)星找到使用者的位置。

Here are two amazing shops from the world.
One of the most famous department stores in New York City is Macy's.There are over 850 Macy's stores all over the US, but the flagship store is in Herald Square,Manhattan---just around the corner from the Empire State Building. Interestingly, Rowland Macy, the company founder ( 創(chuàng)始人 ), opened his first shops between 1843 and 1855, but they weren't   successful. However, Macy learned from his mistakes, and in 1858 he moved to New York. He opened his first New York store on October 18, 1858 and was immediately successful. Macy's is especially famous for its Thanksgiving Day Parade, which marks the beginning of the Christmas season.
One of the oldest shops in London is Fortnum & Mason.
It was founded by William Fortnum and Hugh Mason in
1707 in central London. Originally, the shop only sold food, but these days, it sells all kinds of other things including clothes, books and games. It has the "Gentleman's  Department" on the top floor, a famous tea shop and several restaurants. The business started out small, but in 1761, William Fortnum’s grandson, Charles, went to work for Queen Charlotte. As a result, the royals ( 皇家 )  started shopping there and continues to now. In fact, Queen Elizabeth visited Fortnum's last year. Fortnum's is really famous for its hampers, which are baskets of food. There are picnic hampers and Christmas hampers that are full of wines and Christmas food. They are extremely popular, but also expensive and can cost up to £25.000.

  Although people everywhere seem to enjoy drinking coffee, they don’t all have the same coffee culture. In Europe for example, coffee shops are common places for people to meet friends and to talk while they drink coffee. On the other hand, places like this were not as common in North America in the past. Instead, people in North America liked to drink coffee in their homes with friends. The coffee culture in the USA changed when Starbucks coffee shops spread across the country.
The first Starbucks coffee shop opened in 1971 in downtown Seattle, Washington, in the USA. It was a small coffee shop that cooked its own coffee beans. The coffee shop’s business did well, and by 1981 there were three Starbucks stores in Seattle.
Things really began to change for the company in 1981.That year, Howard Schultz met the three men who ran Starbucks. Schultz worked in New York for a company that made kitchen equipment. He noticed that Starbucks ordered a large number of special coffee makers, which caused his great interest. Schultz went to Seattle to see what Starbucks did. In 1982, the original Starbucks owners hired Schultz as the company’s head of marketing（市場(chǎng)營(yíng)銷）.
In 1983, Schultz traveled to Italy. The special environment of the espresso (濃咖啡) bars there caught his eyes. Back in the USA, Schultz created an environment for Starbucks coffee shops that was comfortable and casual, and customers everywhere seemed to like it. Starbucks began opening more stores across the USA. Then the company opened coffee shops in other countries as well. Today, there are more than 16,000 Starbucks coffee shops all over the world.
However, that does not mean Starbucks has not had problems. In fact, many Starbucks stores have closed over the past few years. On the one hand, this is because there were too many coffee shops competing for business in one small area. On the other hand, stores in some countries closed because the coffee culture there did not match with the “feel the same everywhere” environment offered by Starbucks.
小題1: The underlined word “ran” in Paragraph 3 probably means “       ”.
A．movedB．managed
C．lovedD．used
小題2: According to the passage, which is the right order for the following sentences?
a. This man helped to make Starbucks a huge coffee company.
b. He went to Seattle to learn about the company and later worked for it.
c. Howard Schultz noticed Starbucks ordered lots of special coffee makers.
d. Starbucks began as a small coffee company in Seattle in the USA.
A. a-d-c -b            B. a-d-b-c            
C. d-c- b-a            D. d-c-a-b
小題3:Why did so many Starbucks close in some countries?
A．All of the coffee tastes the same.
B．The coffee in these places was too expensive.
C．The people in these countries didn’t drink coffee.
D．There were too many coffee shops in one place.

Knowing how to ask for information and help politely is important. In English, “Where are the restrooms?” and “Could you please tell me where the restrooms are?” are similar requests (請(qǐng)求) — both are correct English, but the first could sound rude. It’s important to use correct language, but sometimes this alone is not enough — we need to learn how to be polite when we make requests.

In English, just like in Chinese, we change the way we speak when talking with different people. The expressions you use might depend on whom you are speaking to or how well you know them. If you say to your teacher, “Where is my book?” this will sound rude. But if you say, “Excuse me, Mr West. Do you know where my book is?” your question will sound much more polite. On the other hand, it might be alright to say “Where is my book?” to the people you know well.
And you would not usually say, “Peter, lend me your pen.” A very direct order like this can sound rude in English. Usually in English polite questions are longer and include extra (附加的) language, such as “Could you please...?” or “Can I ask...?” It sounds more polite to say, “Peter, could you please lend me your pen?” If you stop a stranger in the street, we might first say, “Excuse me. I wonder if you can help me.” or “I’m sorry to trouble you but…” before asking him for help.
It might seem that speaking politely is more difficult than being direct, and in a way this may be true.
小題1:When we make requests, we need to speak in a ____ way.
A．politeB．carefulC．differentD．direct
小題2:You should say “____” when you ask a stranger for a way.
A．Which is the way to the zoo?
B．How can I get to the zoo?
C．Do you know the way to the zoo?
D．Excuse me. Can you tell me the way to the zoo?
小題3:Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A．We should use long sentences when we ask for information and help.
B．When we ask for help from others, polite language must be used.
C．The way of speaking is important when we ask different people for help.
D．In English, polite questions are as neccessary as rude and direct ones.
