ADo you want to get home from work knowing you have made a real difference in someone’s lif e?If yes, don’t care about sex or age! Come and join us, then you’ll make it!Position: Volunteer Social Care Assistant(No Pay with Free Meals)Place: ManchesterHours: Part TimeWe are now looking for volunteers to support people with learning disabilities to live active lives! Only 4 days left. Don’t miss the chance of lending your warm hands to help others!Role:You will provide people with learning disabilities with all aspects of their daily lives. You will help them to develop new skills. You will help them to protect their rights and their safety. But your primary concern is to let them know they are valued.Skills and Experience Required:You will have the right values and great listening skills. You will be honest and patient. You will have the ability to drive a car and to communicate in fluent written and spoken English since you’ll have to help those people with different learning disabilities. Previous care-related experience will be a great advantage for you.1. The text is meant to ______ .A. leave a noteB. send an invitationC. carry an advertisementD. present a document2. What does the underlined part mean?A. You’ll arrive home just in time from this job.B. You’ll make others’ lives more meaningful with this job.C. You’ll earn a good salary from this job.D. You’ll succeed in getting this job.3. The volunteers’ primary responsibility is to help people with learning disabilities ______.A. to get some financial supportB. to properly protect themselvesC. to realize their own importanceD. to learn some new living skillsBEating too much fatty food, exercising too little and smoking can raise your future risk of heart disease. But there is another factor that can cause your heart problems more immediately: the air you breathe.Previous studies have linked high exposure (暴露) to environmental pollution to an increased risk of heart problems, but two analyses now show that poor air quality can lead to heart attack or stroke (中风) within as little as a few hours after exposure. In one review of the research, scientists found that peopleexposed to high levels of pollutants (污染物) were up to 5% more likely to suffer a heart attack within days of exposure than those with lower exposure. A separate study of stroke patients showed that even air that the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) considers to be of “moderate” (良好) quality and relatively safe for our health can raise the risk of stroke as much as 34% within 12 to 14 hours of exposure.The authors of both studies stress that these risks are relatively small for healthy people and certainly modest compared with other risk factors such as smoking and high blood pressure. However, it is important to be aware of these dangers because everyone is exposed to air pollution regardless of lifestyle choices. So stricter regulation by the EPA of pollutants may not only improve environmental air quality but could also become necessary to protect public health.1. The text mainly discusses the relationship between __________. .A. heart problems and exercisingB. heart problems and air qualityC. heart problems and smokingD. heart problems and fatty food2. The underlined word “modest” in Paragraph 3 most probably means __________. .A. relatively highB. extremely lowC. extremely highD. relatively low3. What can we learn from the text?A. Eating fatty food has immediate effects on your heart.B. The EPA conducted many studies on air quality.C. Stricter regulations on pollutants should be made.D. Moderate air quality is more harmful than smoking.4. The author’s purpose of writing the text is most likely to __________. .A. persuadeB. informC. describeD. entertainCOne of the greatest contributions to the first Oxford English Dictionary was also one of its most unusual. In 1879, Oxford University in England asked Prof. James Murray to serve as editor for what was to be the most ambitious dictionary in the history of the English language. It would include every English word possible and would give not only the definition but also the history of the word and quotations (引文) showing how it was used.This was a huge task, so Murray had to find volunteers from Britain, the United States, and the British colonies to search every newspaper, magazine, and book ever written in English. Hundreds of volunteers responded, including William Chester Minor. Dr. Minor was an American surgeon who had served in the Civil War and was now living in England. He gave his address as “Broadmoor, Crowthorne, Berkshire,” 50 miles from Oxford.Minor joined the army of volunteers sending words and quotations to Murray. Over the next 17 years, he became one of the staff’s most valued contributors.But he was also a mystery. In spite of many invitations, he would always decline to visit Oxford. So in 1897, Murray finally decided to travel to Crowthorne himself. When he arrived, he found Minor locked in a book-lined cell at the Broadmoor Asylum (精神病院) for the Criminally Insane.Murray and Minor became friends, sharing their love of words. Minor continued contributing to the dictionary, sending in more than 10,000 submissions in 20 years. Murray continued to visit Minor regularly, sometimes taking walks with him around the asylum grounds.In 1910, Minor left Broadmoor for an asylum in his native America. Murray was at the port to wave goodbye to his remarkable friend.Minor died in 1920, seven years before the first edition of the Oxford English Dictionary was completed. The 12 volumes defined 414,825 words, and thousands of them were contributions from a very scholarly and devoted asylum patient.1. According to the text, the first Oxford English Dictionary _________.A. came out before minor diedB. was edited by an American volunteerC. was intended to be the most ambitious English dictionary MurrayD. included the English words invented by Murray2. How did Dr. Minor contributed to the dictionary?A. He helped Murray to find hundreds of volunteers.B. He sent newspapers, magazines and books to Murray.C. He went to England to work with Murray.D. He provided a great number of words and quotations3. Why did Dr. Minor refuse to visit Oxford?A. He lived far from OxfordB. He was shut in an asylumC. He was busy writing a bookD. He disliked traveling4. Prof. Murray and Dr. Minor became friends mainly because __________.A. They had a common interest in wordsB. They both served in the Civil WarC. Minor recovered with the help of MurrayD. Murray went to America regularly to visit MinorDGetting rid of dirt, in the opinion of most people, is a good thing. However, there is nothing fixed about attitudes to dirt.In the early 16th century, people thought that dirt on the skin was a means to block out disease, as medical opinion had it that washing off dirt with hot water could open up the skin and let ills in. A particular danger was thought to lie in public baths. By 1538, the French king had closed the bath houses in his kingdom. So did the king of England in 1546. Thus began a long time when the rich and the poor in Europe lived with dirt in a friendly way. Henry IV, King of France, was famously dirty. Upon learning that a nobleman had taken a bath, the king ordered that, to avoid the attack of disease, the nobleman should not go out.Though the belief in the merit of dirt was long-lived, dirt has no longer been regarded as a nice neighbor ever since the 18th century. Scientifically speaking, cleaning away dirt is good to health. Clean water supply and hand washing are practical means of preventing disease. Yet, it seems that standards of cleanliness have moved beyond science since World War II. Advertisements repeatedly sell the idea; clothes need to be whiter than white, cloths ever softer, surfaces to shine. Has the hate for dirt, however, gone too far?Attitudes to dirt still differ hugely nowadays. Many first-time parents nervously try to warn their children off touching dirt, which might be responsible for the spread of disease. On the contrary, Mary Ruebush, an American immunologist (免疫学家), encourages children to play in the dirt to build up a strong immune system. And the latter position is gaining some ground.1. The kings of France and England in the 16th century closed bath houses because _____.A. they lived healthily in a dirty environmentB. they thought bath houses were to dirty to stay inC. they considered bathing as the cause of skin diseaseD. they believed disease could be spread in public baths2. Which of the following best describes Henry IV’s attitude to bathing?A. Curious.B. Afraid.C. Approving.D. Uninterested.3. How does the passage mainly develop?A. By providing examples.B. By making comparisons.C. By following the order of importance.D. By following the order of time.4.What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?A. To stress the role of dirt.B. To introduce the history of dirt.C. To present the change of views on dirt.D. To call attention to the danger of dirt.第二节（共5小题，每小题1.5分，满分7.5）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

AMost British telephone cards are just plain green, but card collecting is becoming a popular hobby in Britain and collectors even have their own magazine, International Telephone Cards. One reason for their interest is that cards from around the world come in a wide variety of different and often very attractive designs. There are 100,000 different cards in Japan alone, and there you can put your own design onto a blank card simply by using a photograph or a business card.The first telephone cards, produced in 1976, were Italian. Five years later the first British card appeared, and now you can buy cards in more than a hundred countries.People usually start collecting cards mainly because they are attractive, small and light, and they do not need much space. It is also a cheap hobby for beginners, although for some people it becomes a serious business. In Paris, for example, there is a market where you can buy only telephone cards, and some French cards cost up to 4,000 pounds. The first Japanese card has a value of about 28,000 pounds. Most people only see cards with prices like these in their collectors’ magazine.1. The passage is mainly about ______.A. the disadvantages of phone cardsB. phone card collecting as a hobbyC. reasons for phone card collectingD. the great variety of phone cards2．When did people in Britain begin to use phone cards?A. In 1971.B. In 1975.C. In 1976.D. In 19813．The main reason for most people to collect phone cards is that _____ .A. they find the cards beautiful and easy to keepB. they like to have something from different countriesC. they want to make money with cardsD. they think the cards are convenient to use4. The writer mentions a market in Paris in order to show that ______.A. card collecting is popular among young peopleB. French and Japanese cards are the most valuableC. people can make money out of card collectingD. card collectors’ magazines are very usefulBYou put a great deal of effort into reaching the college of your choice. It's time to get started. But what's next? Beginning college can be an exciting but awkward time. Follow these tips to adjust to your new life rapidly and make the most of your college experience.●To save time and money, use the college's bus system. Taking the bus to school is quick, easy and free in most college towns. You won't have to locate or afford a place to park, either. It's also a good way to be environmentally aware.●Save pennie s on books by waiting until class starts. You might not even need all of the recommended books. New textbooks cost an arm and a leg. Try buying used textbooks—it's a sure fair way to save money and serves the purpose as well.●Do never look at college life as an endless series of parties and social activities. But there isa whole lot more to college if you're serious about graduating. Having a good college experience is all about balancing work and fun.●Be aware that your living environment can largely af fect your academic success. If the dorm doesn't suit you, consider living at home with your family or renting your own apartment. The best location for your studies isn't always your dorm. Find a quiet area, like the library, to do your work. Alternatively, buy some headphones that block out noise.●Be mindful of your diet. Make healthy food choices and watch what you eat. Avoid foods that are processed or high in sugar. The “freshman 15” is real. Many college students gain at least 15 pounds during their freshmen year.●While electives(选修课) can be helpful when figuring out your major, you shouldn't entirely rely on them. Clubs and other organizations exist around. Get involved. Make sure, though, that you still have time to study. Having too much on your plate can hurt your grades.5．Which of the following ideas can be financially wise?A．Driving your own car. B．Buying used books.C．Renting an apartment. D．Attending activities.6．In the text, freshmen are repeatedly warned against ________.A．academic failures B．emotional problemsC．traffic accidents D．social activities7．The “freshman 15” tells the fact that some freshmen ________.A．attend limited activities on campus B．have little regular physical exerciseC．focus less on their academic work D．take relaxed attitudes to their diets8．The underlined phrase “Having too much on your plate” probably refers to ________.A．using too much money for mealsB．eating too many unhealthy foodsC．taking part in too many after-class activitiesD．taking an elective that has too many studentsCWhen she moved the covering cloth to look upon his tiny face, she was shocked. The doctor turned quickly and looked out the tall hospital window. The baby had been born without ears.Time proved that the ba by’s hearing was perfect. When he rushed home from school one day and threw himself into his mother’s arms, she sighed, knowing that his life was to be full of heart- breaks for his imperfect appearance.He grew up, handsome for his misfortune and popular with his fellow students. He might have been class monitor，but for that. He developed a gift, a talent for literature and music.Two years went by. One day, his father said to the son, “You’re going to the hospital, son. Mother and I have someone who wi ll donate the ears you need. But it’s a secret.” The operation was a brilliant success, and a new person turned up. His talents blossomed into genius, and his school and college became a series of success. Later he married and entered the diplomatic service.One day ,he urged his father, “Who gave so much for me？I must know! I could never doenough for him.”“I do not believe you could, ” said the father, “but the agreement was that you are not to know... not yet.”The years kept their secret, but the day did come--- one of the darkest days that a son must endure. He stood with his father over his mother’s casket (棺材). Slowly, tenderly, the father reached out a hand and raised the thick, reddish-brown hair to show that the mother had no outer ears.“Mother said she was glad she never let her hair be cut, ” he whispered gently, “and nobody ever thought Mother less beautiful, did they？”Real beauty lies not in the physical appearance，but in the heart. Real treasure lies not in what can be seen，but in what cannot be seen. Real love lies not in what is done and known, but in what is done and not known.9. The underlined word “that” (in Para. 3) stands for ________.A. his handsome appearanceB. his imperfect appearanceC. his popularityD. his talent for literature and music10. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. The boy couldn't hear clearly without ears at first.B. The son didn't know the truth until his mother died.C. With donated ears, the son’s life developed smoothly.D. The son attempted to repay the donator’s kindness.11. Why did the boy's mother never have her hair cut?A. Because she liked her thick and brown hair.B. Because her hair added to her beauty.C. Because her long hair was her pride.D. Because her hair helped to keep a secret.12. Which is the best title for the passage?A. A Misfortunate BoyB. Mother’s HairC. Mother’s Secret LoveD. A Successful Ear Operation第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

As time passed，the Olympian meeting gradually lost its local character and became first a national event and then international. No one knows exactly how far back the Olympic Games go but some official records date from 776 BC.The Games took place every four years on the plain by Mount Olympus. Thousands of people came from all parts of the Greek world to watch the games. The winner of the foot race had the great honour of giving his name to the year of his history.After a long history of almost 1, 200 years, the Games were stopped for religious(宗教的) reasons. It was then decided in 1896 to start the Olympic Games again. The meeting was held in Athens and 311 athletes from 13 countries took part in it but the idea of such an international meeting attracted the world's attention. After the 1908 London Olympics, many nations sent their best athletes. Although the Games have been time and again threatened by some unfavourable political events, the Games have taken place every four years.Nowadays, the Games are held in different countries in turn. As the biggest international gathering of any kind in the world, athletes from different countries play games together and this provides them with good chances to learn to live together.
