Questions 36 to 45 are based on the following passage.
Complaints should be made to a responsible person. Go back to the shop where you bought the goods, taking with you any36you may have. Ask to see the buyer in a large store. In a small store the assistant may also be the owner so you can complain37. In a chain store ask to see the manager.
Even the bravest person finds it difficult to complain face to face, so if you do not want to do it in 38,write a letter. Be sure to39to the facts and keep a copy of what you write. At this stage you should give any receipt numbers, but you should not need to give receipts or other papers to prove you bought the article. If you are not40with the answer you get, or if you do not get a reply, write to the managing director of the firm, shop, or organization. Be sure to keep copies of your own letters and any you receive.
If your complaint is a just one, the shopkeeper may offer to41 or repair the faulty article. You may find this an42 solution. In certain cases you may have the right to refuse the goods and ask for your money back,but this is only where you have hardly used the goods and have acted at once. Even when you cannot refuse the goods you may be able to get some money back as well. And if you have suffered some43loss, if for example a new washing machine tears your clothes, you might receive money to replace them. If the shopkeeper offers you a credit note to be used to buy goods in the same shops but you would rather have money, say so. If you accept a credit note remember that later you will not be able to ask for your money. If the shopkeeper refuses to give you money, ask for44 from your Citizens' Advice Bureau before you accept a credit note. In some cases the shopkeeper does not have to give you your money back--if, for example, he changes an article simply because you don't like it or it does not fit. He does not hive to take back the goods in these45.
A. intimate

Facebook Moms
A. Kimberly Gervaise, a stay-at-home mother of three in Little Silver, N.J., joined Facebook five years ago and only posts every couple of months, mostly sharing photos from special events, like birthdays. She has 393 friends, and wishes some of them would tuck it in (收敛) a bit. "I get a little annoyed about people who feel the need to post a picture of a straight-A report card--and there are many," she says. "I am sure that most of the time, they are just proud, but I find it annoying." ~
B. Gervaise says more and more mothers are using Facebook as a platform to boast about their lives, their kids, their parenting techniques. And that's making it harder and harder for morns like her to log on without getting slapped in the face. Bragging about your kids is nothing new, but before Facebook, the Compare & Contrast game was mostly played at the playground or the preschool parking lot. Morns would stand around discreetly scrutinizing kids to see who was hitting milestones faster or slower than their own children. Now it's going on all day, every day, in a vast electronic sandbox.
C. Facebook morns are constantly bombarded with updates about their friends' kids and their accomplishments. Daily, hourly even. According to Edison Research's Moms and Media 2013 report, 57% of morns on Facebook are over 35--these women are the first generation to have raised their children entirely in the Facebook era. They started out single, gossiping and posting party photos and flirting, and now they're changing diapers, worrying about peanut allergies and diligently navigating the sometimes treacherous mommy waters. And if they're active on Facebook, they're learning in front of a huge, rapt audience.
D. Mothers are heavy Facebook users. Edison's 2013 research reveals that 7 out of 10 moms have a profile, and there are more than 1,000 mommy groups, public and private. These groups range in size from hundreds of members to tens of thousands, and they are discussing everything from potty training to gaming that private- school admissions test.
E.Of all the members on Facebook, moms check in the most(an average of 5.1 times a day, according to Edison), and they keep coming back, even if they are being battered with subtle--and sometimes not so subtle--"My kid's smarter/healthier/happier than yours" remarks. For the mom who barely gets her kids' shoes on before hustling them off to school, posts that portray the perfect family can stir up guilt or even self-loathing( 自我厌恶 ). "Who has time to draw pictures with children? Who has time to clean up the giant mess?" says Meredith DePersia, a working mother of two in San Francisco. "When I see these posts, I definitely feel like a lazy person."
F.The great time-killer is now a massive ego-killer, and even a mommy-blogger with a huge following feels vulnerable."Facebook makes me feel bad," says Glennon Doyle Melton, who had a New York Times best- seller with Carry On, Warrior."No matter how satisfied I am with my life， career, family, social life, house, etc., as soon as I log on to Facebook and peek into others' lives, I immediately feel that unease caused by comparison."
G. This is turning many rooms off. "One thing that drove me crazy when my son was younger was moms posting about how well their baby slept," a morn from Texas recalls. "Our son was a pretty poor sleeper, and we spent so much of that first year utterly exhausted. So to be honest, when I would see a post gloating, ' X slept for six hours straight last night! ' I would immediately hide that person for a while because it would irritate me." An online media professional and mom of one from Falls Church, Va., is so fired of playing the game. "I kind of avoid Facebook entirely," she says, "because I'm sick of everyone's presentation of perfection."
H. There is nothing in the Facebook rules that requires complete honesty and total disclosure, and it is human nature to portray the best version of one's life. From carefully presenting our vacation pictures to sharing perfectly posed first-day-of-school photos, all of us, not just moms, try to portray a problem-free, fun-filled, blissful life. And that can be pretty annoying if you've just spent the morning watching your 4-year-old repaint your kitchen walls with oatmeal( 麦片粥).
I."An acquaintance posted a drawing her daughter had made, and it was so perfect. Way more than my son could do, even though he is the same age," says a teacher and mother from Texas."I panicked for a minute, but talked myself down. If someone is posting positive, cheerful, perfect things all the time, I always think: Nope. Not buying it. No one's life is that perfect."
J.Part of the problem is that this isn't happening in real time, face to face. That means moms who might not mean to offend are missing the social cues that normally put a damper on excessive crowing. "Social networks like Facebook haven't changed the way people respond to bragging; they've changed how much people brag," says Dr. Pamela Rutledge, director of the Media Psychology Research Center. "The ability to publicize so much has blurred the line between sharing and boasting. When you brag in a group, you. notice when they wander away. When you brag on Facebook, it's harder to tell who you're alienating."
K. Dr. Saedi, author of the blog Millennial Media, thinks it's important to keep it all in perspective. "Remember that, like TV, not everything you see on Facebook is true. No one's life is perfect. And the more that people try to prove how great it is, the more it's often a sign that it's not. It's important for rooms on Facebook to take a step back, get some distance and reassess."
L.Many feeling-smothered mothers don't want to "step back"; they want to escape, to be free. "I deleted my Facebook account!" crows a stay-at-home mom of two in Austin, Texas. "I hated the'Keeping up with the Joneses' behavior that Facebook engenders." Not everyone is ready--or able---to completely cut the Facebook umbilical cord(脐带). One mom decided she just needed to take control of her page, and silence the braggers and know-everythings. "I cleaned house a year ago and only connect with people I'm actually friends or family with," she says. "I found that I'd catch up on Facebook and be bad-tempered after, so I changed my profile to only let Facebook be what I want it to be."
M. Even mommy-blogger Melton took a Facebook vacation. For 40 days, the 101,000 followers of her Momastery website waited patiently as she took a rest. It was during this break that she realized how unhappy Facebook made her at times. "I called my younger sister the other day and said, 'I'm going to quit Facebook.
I don't use it right. Whether I want to or not, I just end up comparing myself to everyone else.' "
N. "And (my) sister said, 'Actually, you're using it for the exact thing it was originally designed for. Remember, some college guys made it so that students could compare women to each other and decide who was hotter.' " Melton ponders this for a moment. "And I thought, Ah. Right. Huh. The origin of Facebook is really annoying and offensive, when you think about it. And even more annoying is that we often still use it for what it was originally intended: comparison."
Comparison was the original function when people designed Facebook and the function has been in use since then.
48、 People on Facebook are not required to tell completely true stories about themselves when sharing information with others.
49、 Kimberly Gervaise hopes some of her almost 400 hundred friends on Facebook can be modest a bit.
50、 A mom from Fall Church, Va. is fed up with the endless comparison and the show-off of one's perfect life on Facebook.
51、 Due to the non-real-time communication on Facebook, morns don't know they have hurt others when they boast about themselves.
52、 According to Edison 2013 research, mothers use Facebook a lot since 70% percent of them own a profile.
53、 Facebook makes it possible now for mothers to compare and boast kids at every moment every day.
54、 Meredith DePersia felt ashamed for herself when she read from Facebook the perfect life of others.
55、 Edison Research finds that more than half of the Fackbook rooms have started to use it even before they were married.
56、 Dr. Sadei thinks that when people post their perfect life on Facebook, the reality may not be the case.

Section C
Section C Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D ). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.
57、Questions 57-66 are based on the following passage.
On the high-speed train from Avignon (阿维尼翁) to Paris, my husband and I landed in the only remaining seats on the train, in the middle of a car, directly opposite a Frenchwoman of middle years. It was an extremely uncomfortable arrangement to be looking straight into the eyes of a stranger. My husband and I pulled out books.
The woman produced a large makeup case and proceeded to freshen up. Except for a lunch break, she continued this activity for the entire three-hour trip. Every once in a while she surveyed the car with a bright-eyed glance, but never once did she catch my (admittedly fascinateD. eye. My husband and I could have been a blank wall.
I was amused, but some people would have felt insulted, even repulsed (厌恶的). There is something about primping in public that calls up strong emotional reactions. Partly it's a question of hygiene. (Nearly everyone agrees that nail-paling and hair-combing are socially considered unwise to do.) And it's a matter of degree.
Grooming--a private act--has a way of negating the presence of others. I was once seated at a party with a model-actress who immediately waved a silly brush and began dusting her face at the table, demonstrating that while she was next to me, she was not with me.
In fact, I am generally inhibited from this maneuver in public, except when I am in the company of cosmetics executives (when it's considered unpleasant not to do it) or my female friends when it's a fun just-us-girls moment. In a gathering more professional than social, I would refrain.
Kathy Peiss, a history professor at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst and an authority on American beauty rituals, says that nose-powdering in the office was an occasion for outrage in 1920's and 30's. Deploring the practice as a waste of company time, trade journals advised managers to discourage it among clerical workers. But how much time could it take? Certainly the concern was out of proportion with the number of minutes lost. Peiss theorizes that it was the blatant assertion.of a female practice in what had been an all-male province that disturbed critics.
Peiss tells me that after the 30's, pulling out a compact was no longer an issue. It became an accepted practice.
I ask if she feels free to apply lipstick at a professional lunch herself. Sounding mildly shocked, she says she would save that for the privacy of her car afterward. Why? Because it would be "a gesture of inappropriate femininity. "
One guess is that most professional women feel this way. There is evidence of the popularity of the new lipsticks that remain in place all day without retouching.
It's amazing to think that in our talk-show society, where every sexual practice is openly discussed, a simple sex-specific gesture could still have the power to disturb. The move belongs in the female arsenal and, like weapons, must be used with caution.
According to the author, "My husband and I could have been a blank wall. " (Line 6, Para. 1) most probably means“__________”.
A.We were treated with an expressionless face.
B.Welooked at theFrench woman expressionlessly.
C.We used books as a wall to avoid the woman's eyes.
D.We were of no existence in the French woman's eyes.
58、 In the author's opinion, she __________.
A.allows public making up on certain occasions
B.feels comfortbale when making up in public
C.only makes up on social occasions
D.makes up before any professional gatherings
59、 According to Peiss, nose powdering in an office was criticized mainly for the reason that __________.
A.normal office work was disturbed
B.it discouraged women' s interest in career
C.male dominance was emphasized there
D.it distracted male workers' focus on work
60、 Why do most professional women give up using lipsticks in public?
A.Because they are worried about being looked down upon.
B.Because it emphasizes their female features in wrong situations.
C.Because it implies women's disadvantages in academic fields.
D.Because they are ashamed to be seen making up in front of males.
61、 It can be inferred that in a highly open society,, the differences between men and women __________.
A.have attracted little attention
B.hinder the social development
C.are attractive topics in talk shows
D.still call for great concern
62、Questions 62-71 are based on the following passage.
The United States has a major problem on its hands. True, Britain is facing a similar problem, but for the time being it is in America that it is graver. The only way to solve it is through education. Negroes (黑人) should know about the contributions that black individuals and groups have made towards building America. This is of vital importance for their self-respect; and it is perhaps even more important for white people to know. For if you believe that a man has no history worth mentioning, it is easy to assume that he has no value as a man.
Many people believe that, since the Negro's achievements do not appear in the history books, he did not have any. Most people are taken aback when they learn that Negroes sailed with Columbus, marched with the Spanish conquerors of South America and fought side by side with white Americans in all their wars. People are astonished when you tell them about Phillis Wheatley, who learned English as a salve in Boston and wrote first-class poetry.
They have never heard of Benjamin Banneker, a mathematician and a surveyor, who helped to plan the city of Washington. There has been a tendency all along to treat the black man as if he were invisible. Little has been written about the 5,000 American Negroes who fought in the Revolution against the British, but they were in every important battle. In the Anglo-American War of 1812, at least one out of every six men in the U.S. Navy was a Negro. In the Civil War, more than 200,000 black troops fought in the Union forces.
How, then, did the image of the Negro as a valiant fighting man disappear? To justify the hideous institution of slavery, slave-holders had to create the myth of the docile, slow-witted Negro, incapable of self-improvement,and even contented with his lot. Nothing could be further from the truth. The slave fought for his freedom at every chance he got, and there were numerous uprisings. Yet the myth of docility persisted.
There are several other areas where the truth has been twisted or concealed. Most people have heard of the Negro, Carver, who invented scores of new uses for the lowly peanut. But whoever heard of Norbert Rillieux, who in 1846 invented a vacuum pan that revolutionized the sugar-refining industry?Or of Elijah McCoy, who in 1872 invented the drip cup that feeds oil to the moving parts of heavy machinery? How many people know that Negroes are credited with inventing such different items as ice creams, potato chips, the gas mask and the first traffic light?
Not many.
As for the winning of the West, the black cowboy and the black frontiersman have been almost ignored,though film producers are becoming more aware of their importance. Yet in the typical trail crew of eight men that drove cattle from Texas to Kansas, at least two would have been Negroes. The black troops of the Ninth and Tenth Cavalry formed one-fifth of all the mounted troops assigned to protect the frontier after the Civil War. "What difference does it make?" you may ask. A lot. The cowboy is the American folk-hero. Youngsters identify with him instantly. The average cowboy film is really a kind of morality play, with good guys and bad guys and right finally triumphing over wrong. You should see the amazement and happiness on black youngsters' faces when they learn that their ancestors really had a part in all that.
According to the passage, education on Negroes' contributions to America __________.
A.contributes to the blacks' confidence of their value
B.proves their achievements in building the country
C.is still a major task for curriculum education
D.will solve all the conflicts between black and white people
63、 Although Benjamin Banneker dedicated a lot to his country, he__________.
A.remained a slave for his whole life
B.was despised by all the white designers
C.is not mentioned in history books
D.ignored his achievements and kept quiet as usual
64、 Negroes' negative impressions on people__________.
A.derived from their acts
B.turned out to be wrong
C.were copied by slave-holders
D.were passed down for generations
65、 According to the author, examples such as Rillieux and McCoy __________.
A.implied that black people are all talented
B.encouraged more blacks to make inventions
C.spurred the economic development at their times
D.proved Negroes' great talent in invention
66、 Black youngsters are happy to see Negroes on the screen because they are __________ .
A.proud of their ancestors' participation in building up the image of heroic Americans
B.thrilled to see their ancestors riding side by side with American whites
C.excited to know blacks have the right to shoot a role in films
D.amazed to find their ancestors were as strong and charming as white people
