Travelling is a very good activity. When you are fed up with your work and when you can get a holiday, you can go to the beautiful places to enjoy the beauty of nature and the special character of other cities. You can breathe fresh air, visit some places of interest, meet different people and make friends with them. If you do so, you will forget your tiredness and troubles and build up your health. As a result, you will feel fully relaxed and you will have the energy to do the new tasks waiting for you.
But sometimes, travelling is not an enjoyable thing. For example, when the bus or car you take has a bad accident, you just sit in and waste your tim e. What’s more, the weather can be changeable. If you are climbing a mountain, it may rain suddenly. You may be caught in the rain and may catch a cold. The worst thing is that you may have your money stolen and you may have an injury. All these are terrible things that can happen to a tourist.
Therefore, when you are going on a trip, you must prepare yourself carefully. Firstly, you must have clear information about the weather. Second, you should choose a good partner so that you can help each other. Thirdly, you must be careful everywhere and try to avoid accidents. If you do this, you’ll surely enjoy your travels and avoid any unnecessary trouble.

Just picture William Shakespeare, the king of English literature, sitting in front of a computer chatting with a "mouse potato" online. Perhaps both sides would think the other is using a strange new language.
Rome was not built in a day, and neither was English. And the Internet speeds up the evolution (进化) of language. The most recent evidence (证明) is some new words have found their way into the Merriam-Webster Dictionary as standard English words.
"Mouse potato", like couch potato, has nothing to do with food. It refers to (指) people who play on their computers all day. The verb "google" comes from the popular Internet search engine. You can easily guess its meaning. And a "drama queen" is not necessarily someone from a royal (皇族的) family or a stage play. It can refer to a person who often gives emotional performances or reactions (反应).
Actually, the evolution of English has never stopped. In 1066, France invaded (侵略) Britain and then conquered (占领) it. That's why we find many French words in the English vocabulary ' words like cafe, mutton and beef. After the American Revolution, English in colonial (殖民地) America began to separate itself from English across the Atlantic. Besides changes in intonation, certain words fell out of favor and were replaced. For instance, "autumn" in Britain became "fall" in the United States.
English has changed from a simple language with only 50,000 words into a complex (复杂的) one with over 750,000. This is partly due to globalization (全球化).
Many languages have also contributed to (有助于) the development of English. Words like Chinese "tofu" and Japanese "sushi" can also be found in English. Maybe you will create the next new English word. Who knows?
25.The writer gave the example of Shakespeare to stress_____________.
A. The great change of English
B. The large number of English speaker
C. The great use of English
D. The difficulty in learning English
26.Which of the following words can refer to a person?
A.mouse potato
B. couch potato
C. drama queen
D. all of the above
27.Which of the following words doesn’t come from a foreign country？
A.Autumn
B. Mutton
C. Tofu
D. Sushi
28.How many words were added to English during the course of its development？
A. 50,000
B. 750,000
C. 800,000
D. 700,000
C
Avalanches (雪崩) are one of those natural disasters that can cause great damage and only Mother Nature knows when and where they are going to occur. Even with modern technology it is still impossible to know exactly when or where one is going to occur. Mountain climbers are wise to be careful, as avalanches kill many of them each year.
The physics of how and why an avalanche occurs is complex. There are times of higher probability. During the year, the transition（转变from winter to spring will cause some snow and ice to melt, which may trigger avalanches. Also at daybreak there is a higher probability due to the temperature change .
While climbers hike up slopes, some distance between the climbers should be kept. If an avalanche occurs, then there will be fewer lives lost and a higher probability that someone will be able to seek help. Since an accident is more likely to happen when a top layer of snow is loose, avoid areas where heavy snow or rain has recently occurred.
Try to choose areas that you are familiar with and stay in areas with rocks, bushes and trees. Trees and bushes allow snow to pile up and keep the layers stable. If an avalanche occurs, trees will take the impact of the snow, so there is a better chance of being safe.
Climbers must pay attention to the degree of the slope. Avalanches wo n’t occur on level ground and there is little snowfall on very steep areas. The greatest danger is in areas where the slope is between 25 and 40 degrees.
Remember that, if you get stuck in an avalanche, there is no car hire available to take you to the nearest airport.
29. What do we know from the first paragraph?
A. Many mountain climbers die of avalanches each year.
B. Of all the natural disasters, avalanches cause the greatest damage.
C. Most climbers who meet avalanches die for not paying enough attention to avalanches.
D. With the development of science and technology, avalanches can now be predicted exactly.
30. Why is there a higher probability that an avalanche occurs at daybreak?
A. Because daybreak is the coldest time of the day in the mountain.
B. Because it often snows heavily in the mountains at daybreak.
C. Because temperature changes at daybreak.
D. Because the top layer snow is loose at daybreak.
31.It wouldn’t be a good idea for a climber to _______ while climbing a mountain.
A.Keep some distance from other climbers
B.Avoid areas where heavy snow or rain has recently occurred.
C.Choose areas that he or she is familiar with
D.Climb up a slope which is between 25 and 40 degrees

This year some twenty-three hundred teenagers (young people aged from13~19) from all over the world will spend about ten months in U.S. homes. They will attend U.S. schools, meet U.S. teenagers, and form impressions of the real America. At the same time, about thirteen hundred American teenagers will go to other
countries to learn new languages and gain a new understanding of the rest of the world.
Here is a two-way student exchange in action. Fred, nineteen, spent last year in Germany with George's
family. In turn, George's son Mike spent a year in Fred's home in America.
Fred, a lively young man, knew little German when he arrived, but after two months' study the language began to come to him. School was completely different from what he had expected-much harder. Students rose respectfully when the teacher entered the room. They took fourteen subjects instead of the six that are
usual in the United States. There were almost no outside activities.
Family life, too, was different. The father's word was law, and all activities were around the family rather than the individual. Fred found the food too simple at first. Also, he missed having a car.
"Back home, you pick up some friends in a car and go out and have a good time. In Germany, you walk, but you soon learn to like it."
At the same time, in America, Mike, a friendly German boy, was also forming his idea. "I suppose I should criticize (批评) American schools," he said. "It is far too easy by our level. But I have to say that I like it very much. In Germany we do nothing but study. Here we take part in many outside activities. I think that maybe your schools are better in training for citizens. There ought to be some middle ground between the two."
33. This year _____ teenagers will take part in the exchange programme between America and other countries.
A. twenty-three hundred
B. thirteen hundred
C. over three thousand
D. less than two thousand
34. The whole exchange programme is mainly to _____.
A. help teenagers in other countries know the real America
B. send students in America to travel in Germany
C. let students learn something about other countries
D. have teenagers learn new languages
35. What is particular in American schools is that _____.
A. there is some middle ground between the two teaching buildings
B. there are a lot of after-school activities
C. students usually take fourteen subjects in all
D. students go outside to enjoy themselves in a car
36.After experiencing the American school life, Mike thought __________.
A.A better education school include something good from both American and Germany
B.German schools trained students to be better citizen.
C.American schools were not as good as German schools.
D.The easy life in the American school was more helpful to students
E
Friends play a very important part in everyone’s life. Friendship usually develops during childhood. New friends are made when you progress through school. Those friends that you make as a student can usually last long. Friends influence (影响) your development, maturity (成熟) and sense of responsibility. A familiar expression is “You can tell a lot about a person by knowing who his friends are.”Friendship is based on common interests. If you like sports, most of your friends are likely to be athletic. If you enjoy reading and shopping, most of your friends do the same.
There is another kind of friends.They remember your birthday, they visit you and talk with you and sometimes they have fun with you,but they stay with you only when you are useful to them.If when day you become poor or are in trouble,they will be more than happy to desert you and find other new friends
very quickly.They are not real friends, but superficial friends.
True friends are most special and difficult to find.True friends are ready to share happiness and sadness and exchange views honestly.They take you as you are and give you a helping hand when you are low and in need of help,just like “a bridge over troubled waters.”They will support you,guide you and lead you to success.It’s true to say that a friend in need is a friend indeed,and it is also true to say that a friend without help is a friend indeed.
One should be also to tell the difference between a true friend and a superficial friend.There is a Chinese proverb that says “it’s easy to make a fortune but different to have a true friend”.And you are really lucky if you have a true friend.
37.By saying “you are tell a lot about a person by looking at who is his friend are”,the writer means
