America is full of entertainment and is rich in amusement parks. The following are some of the best amusement parks that you can take a trip to, especially if you’re a tourist or on a vacation to America.

Universal’s Islands of Adventure, Orlando (Florida)

If you are looking for amusements and trying to run away from the stress of your life, this theme park is just the thing that would make your weekend exciting! Yes, your weekend would be perfect for visiting this amusement park as the rich activities in the park are sure to wear you out and you’ll need the next day to sleep it off before returning to work. This amusement park consists of five theme lands—Seuss Landing, Jurassic Park, The Lost Continent, Toon Lagoon and Marvel Super Hero Island.

Walt Disney World, Orlando (Florida)

This is the best choice for those searching for excitement and danger. Besides a large number of recreational activities, Disney World offers a lot of beautiful sights and scenery. A total of four different Disney theme parks, several water parks, shopping areas, concert venues, restaurants and food joints make this amusement park more of an amazement park! This theme park is definitely worth a visit in a lifetime!

Cedar Point, Sandusky (Ohio)

This park covers an area of 364 acres. The roller coasters, 75 other rides, 10 daily shows and a water park are something you must be carefully considering trying. As one of the best amusement parks in America, Cedar Point is an exciting experience for those who are looking for excitement as well as for those who need a quiet break from life’s stress. No doubt this is one of the best theme parks in America.

21．Which of the following is made up of five theme lands?

A．Universal’s Islands of Adventure.B．Walt Disney World.

C．Jurassic Park. D．Cedar Point.

23．Why did the author write the text?

A study of English learning problems was carried out among a total of 106 foreign students. It shows that most students considered understanding spoken English to be their biggest problem on arrival. This was followed by speaking. Writing increased as a problem as students discovered difficulties in writing papers that they were now expected to hand in. Reading remained as a significant（显著的）problem.

The information gained helped us in determining where special attention should be paid in our course. Although many students have chosen to join the course with a reasonable motivation （动机）, we considered it important to note what seemed to encourage interest. Nearly all the students have experienced some kind of grammar-based English teaching in their own country. To use the same method would be self-defeating because it might reduce motivation, especially if it has failed in the past. Therefore a different method may help because it is different.

Variety of activity was also seen as a way of maintaining（保持）or increasing motivation. Several years ago we had one timetable that operated throughout, but we soon found that both the students and the teachers lost interest by about halfway through the ten weeks. This led us to a major re-think, so finally we brought it into line with the expressed language needs of the students. 24．What is the text mainly about?

A．Foreign students have more problems.

B．There are many ways to improve English.

C．Teaching should meet students’ needs.

D．English learning problems should be studied again.

25．Writing became a bigger problem when foreign students ___________.

A．had to write their papers

B．became better at speaking

C．became less interested in reading

D．had fewer problems with listening

26．We may infer from the last two paragraphs that ___________.

A．different teaching methods should be used

B．grammar-based teaching seems to be encouraging

C．English courses are necessary for foreign students

D．teaching content should be changed halfway

27．The word “it” underlined in the last paragraph refers to “___________”.

A．re-think B．activity C．motivation D．timetable

C

When asked to point out one or two things that are most important to themselves, many put friends ahead of homes, jobs, cloth and cars.

A true friendship carries a –long history of experience that determines who we are and keeps us connected. It is a treasure we should protect. Unfortunately, the better friends you are, the more probably you’ll have disagreements. And the result can be what you don’t want an end to the relationship.

The good news is that most troubled friendships can be mended. First, don’t let your pride get in your way. Most of us can forgive each other when differences are brought out in the open.

Second, apologize when you’re wrong —even if you’ve been wronged. Over the course of a friendship, even the best people make mistakes. Sometimes, it may be best if the wronged person takes the lead and apologizes. When you apologize, give your friend a chance to admit that he has been wrong. Third, see things from your friend’s point of view .And finally, accept that friendships change as our needs and lifestyles change. Making friends can sometimes seem easy. The hard part is keeping the connections strong during the natural ups and downs that have an effect on all relationships. My suggestion: Consider friendship an honor and a gift, and worth the effort to treasure and nurture（培养）

28．What would be the best title for the text?

A．Easy Ways to Make Friends

B．Ups and Downs in Friendship

C．How to Mend a Troubled Friendship

D．How to Take the Lead in Making Friends

29．The “wronged person ” underlined in the text refers to a person__________.

A．who has been mistaken for another

B．who has been blamed unfairly

C．who has treated friends badly

D．who has admitted his mistakes

30．According to the text a friendship can last long only if .

A．we have much in common

B．we know our friends’ mistakes

C．we treat our disagreements wisely

D．we have known one another for long

31．What should we do if we follow the author’s second suggestion?

A．Stick to our own points of view.

B．Avoid making mistakes .

C．Make an apology first.

D．Change our lifestyles.

From the first use of the rocket to carry satellites into space to the setting up of space stations, human beings have achieved many successes. But there are still numerous tasks in front of us and we should not stop trying to progress.

The international space station is an important step we should take in space exploration. It is not only helpful but also necessary. It provides a proper space environment for many experiments that we have wanted to do for a long time. It is also a base for observing the earth and the universe. It could also be an important base for later travel to the moon and Mars. In a word, if we want to explore space more, the first thing we should do is to set up a space station.

As the space station costs a lot of money, it is hard for one country alone to establish one. The US seems to be the only country that has the ability to build a space station alone, and it has tried to do so, but not very successful. So it aggregated many other countries to work on it together. Though it is still extremely expensive, it is much cheaper than doing it alone. It is really a job that

needs everyone’s effort and will benefit everyone.

But even so, the funds needed are still a big problem. As for the US, it seems that it has too many things to spend its money on. Although it is the richest country in the world, it has much debt every year. It has to try to find a balance in all these issues.

32．What is the author’s attitude towards building and developing the international space station？A．Supportive. B．Doubtful. C．Worried. D．Reserved.

33．From Paragraph 2 we can learn that ______________.

A．the necessity of building the international space station is not realized now

B．many experiments have been done in the international space station

C．the international space station is necessary for people to explore space further

D．people have travelled to Mars from the international space station

34．Which of the following is NOT a reason for countries’ cooperation in building the international space station？

A．It will benefit every participating country.

B．No country is able to build it alone.

C．It needs everyone’s effort.

D．It requires a lot of money.

35. All the following aspects about building the international space station are mentioned EXCEPT ________

A．difficulties B．cost C．importance D．waste

Easy Ways to Keep Y our Brain Sharp

Everyone is forgetful，but as we age，we start to feel like our brains are slowing down a bit—and that can be a very annoying thing. 36 Read on for some techniques worth trying.

37

People who regularly made plans and looked forward to upcoming events had a 50 percent reduced chance of Alzheimer’s disease(早老性痴呆症)，according to a recent study. 38 Something as simple as setti ng a goal to have a weekly coffee date with a friend will do.There’s evidence that people who have a purpose in life or who are working on long or short-term goals appear to do better.In other words，keep your brain looking forward.

My soccer coach retired in last week. I wanted to do anything special for him at his retirement party. My mum makes the better biscuits in the world, so I decide to ask her for help. Mum taught me some basic step of baking. I insisted on doing most of the baking myself. I thought the biscuits were really well. My only mistake was that I dropped some on the floor after I was packing them up.

At a party, my coach, with a biscuit in his mouth, asked surprisingly who made them and

joked, “I might have to retire again next year just get some more of these biscuits.”

My favorite picture at the party is of my coach and me enjoy the biscuits with happy laughter!

Dear friends,

How time flies！It has been two weeks since you came to our school for the exchange program, which has benefited all of us.

During the past two weeks, we have studied and lived together, which has enabled us to know each other better. Doing the same sports on the playground gives us the opportunity to promote our friendship. What impresses us most is your art skills, in which you showed outstanding talent. We believe that the students in our school have learned a lot from the exchange program. I hope that there will be more programs like this in the future. At last, on behalf of all the students in our school, I wish you a safe and happy journey home。

Thank you.
