1、搭配题 1.Jennifer: 　　In your article about online shopping being the newest and easiest way to shop, you said that computers will replace shopping malls sooner or later because they make buying things faster and cheaper. But don’t you think that the entire point of shopping is to spend leisure time with friends while doing something necessary. Shopping is not just a quick task. It is, in fact, an entire way of life. 2.Paul: 　　I am a great collector of all manner of hard-to-find items such as out-of-print books and antiques. Purchasing in physical stores would mean round-the-world travel and years of effort. I can get the same result in a few hours on eBay, and often at bargain prices. I am quite well-off, but buy very few consumer items available in regular shops. I have many friends and acquaintances with the same approach. 3.Mike: 　　My wife buys online often. I have not heard complaints or dissatisfaction. She can compare with different online vendors’ prices after she has decided what she wants. It’s delivered to the door, a big time savings and gas savings. If I need something, I check online first and see what it costs and then decide where to buy, local stores or online. Online has the advantage most of the time. 4.Henry: 　　Virtually all online stores make you register. But, I don’t need another username and password to remember. I will only buy online if I cannot find something locally. Even though shipping is fast. I’d rather drive across town and pay more to be able to bring home a new gadget the same day. And, most of the time, there is no difference in price between local stores and online stores. 5.Jeff: 　　If you think the prices are the same online as they are locally, you’re dealing with the wrong online retailers. I’m an online shopping veteran and I always save quite a bit on my large-dollar purchases. With a little research experience, I’ve easily saved thousands of dollars over the last several years. Besides, shipping on most items is reasonable and you don’t even pay taxes 99.9% of the time. 简答题 10分

2、Read the text below. Write an essay in about 120 words, in which you should summarize the key points of the text and make comments on them. Try to use your own words. Most people feel stressed at some time in their lives. Some people like this pressure and work better because of it. Other people are not comfortable with any stress at all; they soon become unhappy if they feel stress. Sometimes stress can lead people to do things they wouldn' t usually do, such as overeat, smoke, drink, or use drugs. Stress, however, is a very normal part of life. It is important to understand that stress doesn't come from an event itself. It comes from the meaning we give to what has happened. For example, a crying baby may be stressful to one person, but it may not bother another person at all; a traffic jam may be stressful to one person while another person may be able to stay calm. The point at which stress becomes a problem changes from day to day, even for the same person. In some situations, if we are rested and feel good about ourselves, a little stress will not be a problem. In another situation, if we are tired or feel unsure about our abilities, even a small amount of stress can cause problems. For example, we might begin to worry about things that haven'happened yet instead of working on things that are happening now. Or we might not feel able to find solutions to everyday problems. 简答题 10分
