5 . 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

Arriving in Sydney on his own from India, my husband , Rashid, stayed in a hotel for a short time while looking for a house for me and our children as we would go there when he made everything settled.

During the first week of his stay, he went out one day to do some shopping. He almost got lost in those unfamiliar blocks. When he came back in the late afternoon, he discovered that his suitcase was gone. He was extremely worried as the suitcase had all his important papers, including his passport. For a while, he was overwhelmed with depression with no one to turn to.

He reported the case to the police and then sat there，lost and lonely in a strange city, thinking of the terrible troubles of getting all the paperwork organized again from a distant country while trying to settle down in a new one.

Late in the evening, the phone rang. It was a stranger. He was trying to pronounce my husband’s name and was asking him a lot of questions. Then he said they had found a pile of papers in their trash can（垃圾桶）that had been left out on the footpath.

My husband rushed to their home to find a kind family holding all his papers and documents. Their young daughter had gone to the trash can and found a pile of unfamiliar papers. Her parents had carefully sorted them out, although they had found mainly foreign addresses on most of the documents. At last they had seen a half-written letter in the pile in which my husband had given his new telephone number to a friend. My husband was so excited about the return of the suitcase. Meanwhile, the kindness of this family made him feel that this place could be a new start, a new home for a brand new life.

6 . A crisis is on the way. Global warming? The world economy? No, the decline of reading. People are just not doing it anymore, especially the young. Who’s responsible? What is responsible? The Internet, of course, and everything that comes with it—Facebook, Twitter, etc.

There’s been a warning about the coming death of literate civilization for a long time. In the 20th century, first it was the movies, then radio, then television that seemed to end the written world. None did. Reading survived; In fact, it not only survived, but it has developed better. The world is more literate than ever before — there are more and more readers and more and more books.

The fact that we often get our reading material online today is not something we should worry over. The electronic and digital revolution of the last two decades has arguably shown the way forward for reading and for writing. Interconnectivity allows for the possibility of a reading experience that was barely imaginable before. Where traditional books had to make do with photographs and illustrations(插图), an e-book can provide readers with an unlimited number of links：to texts, pictures, and videos.

On the other hand, there is the danger of trivialization(碎片化).One Twitter group is offering its followers single-sentence-long“digests”of the great novels. War and Peace in a sentence? You must be joking. We should fear the fragmentation(碎片)of reading. There is the danger that the high-speed connectivity of the Internet will reduce our attention span(时间)—that we will be incapable of reading anything of length or which requires deep concentration.

In such a fast-changing world, in which reality seems to be remade each day, we need the ability to focus and understand what is happening to us. This has always been the function of literature and we should be careful not to let it disappear. Our society needs to be able to imagine the possibility of someone entirely in pace with modern technology but able to make sense of a dynamic, confusing world.

A．the disappearance of traditional books

D．Technology offers a greater variety of reading practice.

7 . D

It’s hard to be the bearer of bad news, but most of IKEA’s print and digital fascinating shots of picturesque rooms and products are fake. Those beautiful, “natural-looking” photos of gorgeous rooms and kitchens are mostly the work of computer magic, adjusted and corrected until they’re picture-perfect．

Martin Enthed, IT manager for IKEA’s in-house communications agency, revealed, “In 2012, 12 per cent of its product and concept images was CGI-rendered, increasing to 25 per cent in 2013. Since then, that percentage of rendered images appearing in the company’s catalogue and online has tripled. 75 per cent of the furniture company’s product images today are created by computers.”

It’s a move that first caught the attention of photographers and graphic designers a few years back when the furniture giant announced it would cancel photoshoots in favor of computer-generated imagery(CGI)．

Enthed said IKEA began shifting equipment in 2009 when company officials called in his team and said they weren’t pleased with some previous photos and CG images．

“So we looked at all the images they said weren’t good and the two of three they said were great, and the ones they didn’t like were photography and the good ones were all CG,” Enthed said. “Now we only talk about a good or bad image-not what technique created it.”

It’s a not-so-secret strategy used by top companies specializing in home and furniture design, though many consumers remain oblivious．

The company claims the shift is another way to reduce its environmental footprint, saying constructing digital files produces less waste. It also helps the home furnishing empire’s pocketbooks.

1. What directly led IKEA to adopt CGI on a larger scale?

A．The convenience of high technology．

2. According to the passage，the advantage of the shift is that IKEA can            。

A．expand into another field

C．win more support of consumers

D．produce more furniture of high quality

3. The underlined word “oblivious” in paragraph 6 means “         ”．

A．unaware	B．calm
C．conservative	D．disturbed

4. It can be concluded from the passage that           ．

A．IKEA should be punished because of fake photos

B．IKEA set a good example as the furniture giant

C．IKEA adjusted strategies to answer its need

D．IKEA has a pioneering spirit in promotion
