A

Su Hua is studying at Cambridge, UK. She has bought a bicycle and is worried about security. Her friend, Kate, found this article and sent it to her.

Introduction

A lot of crime is against bicycles. About 150,000 bicycles are stolen every year and most are never found. You can prevent this happening by following a few careful steps.

Basic Security

Do not leave your bicycle in out of the way places. Always lock your bicycle when you leave. Secure it to lampposts or trees. Take off smaller parts and take them with you, for example lights and saddles(车座)．

Locks

Get a good lock. There are many different types in the shops. Buy one that has been tested against attack. Ask for a recommendation from a bike shop.

Marking

Security marking your bike can act as_a_deterrent_to_a_thief. It can also help the police find your bicycle. It should be clearly written and include your postcode and your house or flat number. This will provide a simple way to identify your bicycle.

Registration

There are a number of security companies who will help mark your bicycle for you. They will then put your registration number and personal details on their computer database. Then if your bicycle is found it will be easy to coritact you.

Finally

Keep a record of the bicycle yourself: its mark，model and registration number. You can even take a photograph of it. This will prove the bicycle belongs to you.

21．Which part of the text gives you information on how to lock up your bicycle when you leave it?

A．Locks. B．Marking. C．Registration. D．Basic Security.

22．The underlined phrase “act as a deterrent to a thief”means__________.

A．help you recognize your bike B．help the police find your bicycle

C．stop someone stealing your bicycle D．stop you worrying about your bike 23．The article advises you to keep a record of your bicycle__________.

A．in the bike shop and your computer

B．in the police station and a security company

C．in a security company and your university

D．by yourself and in a security company

B

Students who want to attend an American college or university must explain how they will pay for their education. They have to show that they will be able to pay for each year of study. Students have to consider not only the tuition, the cost of classes, but also meals and a place to live in, which is known as roomandboard. They also need money for books and supplies. And they need money to spend on social activities and other things.

Educational advisers say foreign students should have enough money in a local bank to pay for at least two months of expenditure. So how much will a year at an American school cost? Generally speaking, the answer is: a lot. A leading state university in the Pacific Northwest will serve as an example. The University of Washington says foreign students are paying more than $36,000 this year. This major research university currently has 2,600 foreign students from more than one hundred countries. There are many schools that cost less, but also others that cost more. Its website says the University of Washington does not offer financial assistance to international students. This is generally true of American schools, especially at the undergraduate level.

The international application for the university includes a Statement of Financial Responsibility that must be signed. Students must also provide a bank letter or statement from within the past six months. And they have to name someone who will help with payments. These people must send proof from a bank to show that they have the money. Your government or employer may be able to help you pay all or some of the college costs. A good idea is to ask at least eighteen months before you want to start classes in the United States.

Our Foreign Student Services, including links to websites discussed in our reports, can be found at www. unsv. com. To learn more about higher education in America, the State Department has a special website: educationusa. state. gov.

24．Students who are going to study in America must__________.

A．buy their own textbooks themselves

B．prove that they can pay for their study

C．find a living place with a kitchen

D．find someone to pay for their college fees

25．Who is this speech probably given to?

A．Students who are going to graduate from colleges.

B．Students who are going to college in the US.

C．Students who are going to apply for roomandboard.

D．Students who can't pay for their college study by themselves.

26．The University of Washington__________.

A．has the highest fees of any college

B．has the most foreign students of any college in the US

C．is a key university in the Northwest of the US

D．charges less than other colleges in the Northwest of the US

27．What is NOT a must if you, a foreign student, apply for the university in the US?

A．Apply eighteen months before you want to start classes.

B．A signed Statement of Financial Responsibility.

C．People who will help you pay for the study should provide a bank proof.

D．A bank letter from within the past six months.

Parents need to stop trying to be friends with their children if they want to avoid them becoming louts_and_delinquents. That's the opinion of a local expert in the field of family relationships.

Wendy Harfield from Interrelate, the organization which focuses on relationships, said the issue of antisocial and violent behavior among youths was a complex one.

“There is no single reason why some kids get involved in unacceptable behavior but it seems that it is becoming a major issue not just in places like Bellingen but everywhere，”Ms. Harfield said.

“The most important part of the problem is the issue of selfesteem(自尊). Sometimes parents don't have a strong selfimage or good selfesteem themselves, so it is hard for them to pass good selfesteem on to their children.”

Ms. Harfield said it was important that children learnt to develop good relationships with themselves, their family, their friends and their community at an early age. “Parents need to look at themselves as personal trainers, and as we all

know trainers get the best results when they start young，”she said, “It is no good waiting until a child is 12 or 13 to start training them to become a good person. You need to start when they are very young and be very consistent with them.”

“Teaching and training children to be good people is an important part of being a parent. But just as there are a lot of pressures on kids these days, there are also a lot of pressures on parents and families.”

“Children should develop better relationships with everyone in their life before they become teens，”she said，“But for parents the message must be, don't try to be friends to your children. As they go through school they will have the chance to have lots of friends，but they won't be able to have any other parents.”

“You need to set the limits of acceptable behavior early and stick to them.”

28．The underlined words “louts and delinquents”in Paragraph 1 may refer to children__________.

A．who are very lazy B．who behave badly C．who are selfish

D．who depend on themselves

29．According to Ms. Harfield, children with unacceptable behavior__________.

A．suffer from a lot of pressures from society

B．usually don't get on well with their parents

C．have low confidence in their own abilities

D．grow into good people when they are 12 or 13

30．Why are parents advised not to be friends to their children?

A．Because children need parents more than they need friends.

B．Because children may have friends later in their life.

C．Because parents can't treat their children as true friends.

D．Because children don't always believe in their parents.

31．What would be the best title for the passage?

A．Being a friend to your children

B．Tough love is the key

C．Examples speak louder than words

D．It is never too late to train children to be good

D

The Roman Empire was so big that there were a lot of different people with different cultures living in it, so you can't really say there was one way of living in the Roman Empire.

People of minority races or cultures would probably feel lucky to have lived under the Roman Empire. There were people of so many different cultures travelling around the empire interacting with each other that there had been in general a lot of tolerance for other cultures. On the other hand, this contact did also cause tensions,

which sometimes broke into violent killings of minority groups.

People were forced into slavery in every corner of the Roman Empire, but the way slaves were treated depended on where you were and also on when. Big farms were usually worked by slave field hands. But other slaves were house servants, like nurses, cooks, and boys who took care of the horses and they were generally better treated. A lot of slaves also worked for the Roman government, or for private businesses, as managers，or running a shop，or in small factories.

All over the Roman Empire, many boys in cities seem to have gone to school, but most girls had to stay at home. Out in the countryside，probably hardly anyone could read or write. Very few people went to college，but those that did often travelled far from home，to Athens or Alexandria in Egypt, for a good education.

Partly at school, and partly through their families or just playing ball games outside, kids all over the Roman Empire did have lots of friends. Girls and boys from rich families, however, were not allowed to get romantic together. Most marriages among the upper classes were arranged by the parents，but case was probably different for the poor.

32．What life was like for people of minority races in the Roman Empire?

A．Life for them was too hard to bear.

B．They couldn't communicate with people of other cultures.

C．They were forced to give up their own culture.

D．Life for them was comfortable in a way.

33．Of the following kinds of slaves，which group maybe badly treated?

A．House servants. B．Slaves working on farms. C．Boys taking care of horses.

D．Slaves running a small shop.

34．Which of the following statements is TRUE to education in Roman Empire?

A．Education was open to both rich and poor people.

B．In the countryside，only boys could receive education.

C．People could not get college education in Roman Empire.

D．Most of the girls were not allowed to go to school.

35．From the passage，we can learn that__________.

A．there were probably many different ways of living in Roman Empire

B．under Roman law，marriages shall be arranged by parents

C．children living in the countryside of Roman Empire often felt lonely

D．boys in the upper class could receive free education in Roman Empire
