They are just the people who have always been around. They make a fuss over the children in the family, show off to their friends the achievements of this child or that child, and show countless pictures of new babies. Grandfathers can fix anything, andgrandmothers always have homemade biscuits around. When you are small, it’s fun to stay with your grandparents because they always let you do things you can’t do at home, and, of course, they buy you things. They are always able to babysit because they don’t go out much and actually prefer to see their grandchildren. They are usually good for a small loan now and then that doesn’t need to be paid back because they turn it into a gift. You respectfully listen to their advice but don’t thank them politely for what they do for you, and then don’t call or visit them until you need something else. And, of course, you never tell them how dear they are to you because they know how you feel about them anyway. Then all of a sudden, they are no longer there to do the things that only grandparents can do, and you find yourself wishing that you had told them what they meant to you as people and not just as grandparents.31．What is the position of grandparents in the family according to the writer?A．They are the most important people among family members.B．They are the least important people among family members.C．They are the ones at whom their children or grandchildren usually laugh.D．They are the ones whom their children or grandchildren respect most.正确答案：B32．Grandparents usually do many things except( ).A．buy their grandchildren thingsB．look after their grandchildrenC．let their grandchildren do things they can’t do at homeD．tell their grandchildren how dear they are to them正确答案：D33．Why don’t children need to pay back the loan from their grandparents?A．Their grandparents will forget the loan.B．Their grandparents pay back the loan for them.C．Their grandparents die before they have enough money to pay it back.D．Their grandparents turn the loan into a gift.正确答案：D34．Children never tell their grandparents how dear they are to them because( ).A．they don’t like their grandparentsB．they take for granted everything their grandparents do for themC．their grandparents know how they feelD．they do not respect their grandparents正确答案：C35．How do children feel after their grandparents die?A．They regret they didn’t express their true feelings to them.B．They feel sorry that grandparents are the least valued in the family.C．They miss them very much because no one does the things that grandparents do.D．They wish they had visited and called them more often.正确答案：AMany American colleges permit foreign students to live in college housing or housing not owned by the university, such as an apartment. College housing is usually in a dormitory, or dorm for short. Many foreign students say that the dorms are less costly than apartments. They say dorms offer quiet study areas and areas for social activities or sports. They say dorms are close to places they go every day, like the library, computer center and classrooms. They also say that living in the room provides the best chance to get to know other students. Dormitories may have as few as twelve students or as many as one thousand. Some dorms are organized into areas called suites. Suites have several bedrooms, a large, living area and a bathroom. Six or more people may live in one suite. Other dorms have many rooms along a hallway. Two students usually live in each room. On each floor there is a large bathroom for all the students who live on that floor. Sometimes there is also a kitchen for preparing food. In most universities, males and females live in the same dorm. They may even live on the same floor. But they usually may not live in the same room or suite. Most universities have some dorms for men and women.36．Where do some foreign students in American colleges prefer to live?A．In a hotelB．In a houseC．In an apartmentD．In a friend’s home正确答案：C37．What may be the reason for a foreign student to choose to live in a dorm?A．It is cheaperB．It has a big living roomC．It is cleanerD．It is owned by the university正确答案：A38．How many students can a dorm hold at most according to the passage?A．TwoB．SixC．TwelveD．A thousand正确答案：D39．One of the advantages of living in a dorm is that( ).A．it is easier for the students to get in touch with other studentsB．the students can go to school library every dayC．the students can use personal computers freelyD．more than two students may live in one room正确答案：A40．Which of following statement is TRUE according to the passage?A．All the students in a dorm share one large bathroom.B．Students are not allowed to cook in the dorm.C．Female students and male students cannot live in the same dorm.D．Living in the dorm is helpful to develop your relation with others.正确答案：DCars are an important part of life in the United States. Without a car, most people feel that they are poor. An even if a person is poor he doesn’t feel really poor when he has a car. Henry Ford was the man who first started making cars in large numbers. He probably didn’t know how much the car was going to affect American culture. The car made the Unite States a nation on wheels. And it helped make the United States what it is today. There are three main reasons the car became so popular in the United States. First of all, the country is a huge one and Americans like to move around in it. The car provides the most comfortable and cheapest form of transportation. With a car people can go any place without spending a lot of money. The second reason cars are popular is the fact that the United States never really developed an efficient and inexpensive form of public transportation. Long-distance trains have never been as common in the United States as they are in other parts of the world. Nowadays, there is a good system of air-service provided by planes. But it is too expensive to be used frequently. The third reason is the most important one, though. The American spirit of independence is what really made cars popular. Americans don’t like to wait for a bus or a train or even a plane. They don’t like to have to follow an exact schedule. A car gives them the freedom to schedule their own time. And this is the freedom that Americans want most to have. The gas shortage has caused a big problem for Americans. But the answer will not be a bigger system of public transportation. The real solution will have to be a new kind of car, one that does not use so much gas.41．When do most Americans feel they are poor?A．When they don’t have a car.B．When they live in a huge country.C．When they don’t use planes.D．When they have a car.正确答案：A42．Which of the following is NOT the reason why cars become popular in the United States?A．The United States is not so huge.B．Public transportation is not so convenient.C．Americans like to be independent.D．Americans like to move around.正确答案：A43．What public transportation is good in the United States?A．Buses.B．Trains.C．Taxis.D．Planes.正确答案：D44．What has caused a big problem for Americans?A．A new kind of car.B．Public transportation.C．The gas shortage.D．Poor people.正确答案：C45．Which of the following is NOT mentioned according to this passage?A．Cars have made the nation on wheels.B．Cars have made the United States have a gas shortage.C．Nearly 80% of the American people have cars.D．Cars have made American independent.正确答案：CThere is a difference between science and technology. Science is a methodof answering theoretical questions; technology is a method of solving practical problems. Science has to do with the facts and relationships between observable phenomena in nature and with establishing theories that serve to organize these facts and relationships; technology has to do with tools, techniques, and procedures for implementing the finding of science. Another distinction between science and technology has to do with the progress in each. Progress in science excludes the human factor. Scientists, who seek to comprehend the universe and know the truth with the highest degree of accuracy and certainty, cannot pay attention to their own or other people’s likes or dislikes or to popular ideas about the fitness of things. What scientists discover may shock or anger people—as did Darwin’s theory of evolution. But even an unpleasant truth is more than likely to be useful; besides, we have the choice of refusing to believe it! But it’s hardly so with technology and we do not have the choice of refusing to hear the sonic boom produced by a supersonic aircraft flying overhead; we do not have the choice of refusing to breathe polluted air; and we do not have the choice of living in a non-atomic age. Unlike science progress, technology must be measured in terms of the human factor, The legitimate purpose of technology is to serve people in general, not merely some people; and future generations, not merely those who presently wish to gain advantage for themselves. Technology must be humanistic if it is to lead to a better world.46．Which of the following statements about science is NOT true?A．Science provides answers to theoretical questions.B．Science seeks to comprehend the universe.C．Science aims to discover the inter-connections of facts and the rules that explain them.D．Science serves people in general and can be measured in terms of the human factor.正确答案：D47．Which of the following statements about technology is NOT true?A．Technology provides answers to practical problems.B．Technology seeks to establish theories based on facts.C．Technology helps change the material world.D．Technology has to do with new designs and ways of making the things we use in our daily life.正确答案：B48．According to the author, scientific theories( ).A．must be strictly objectiveB．usually pay attention to people’s likes and dislikesC．should conform to popular opinionsD．always convince everyone正确答案：A49．The author states that technology itself( ).A．is responsible for pollution and resource exhaustionB．should serve those who wish to gain advantage for themselvesC．will lead to a better world if put to wise useD．will inevitably be for bad motivation正确答案：C50．The tone of the author in this passage is( ).A．ironicalB．criticalC．factualD．arbitrary正确答案：CClozeFor many people today, reading is no longer relaxation. To keep up their work they must read letters, reports, trade publications, interoffice communications, not to mention newspapers and magazines—a never-ending flood of words. In【C1】______a job or advancing in one, the ability to read and comprehend【C2】______can mean the difference between success and failure. Yet the unfortunate fact is that most of us are【C3】______readers. Most of us develop poor reading【C4】______at an early age, and never get over them.The main deficiency【C5】______in the actual stuff of language itself—words. Taken individually, words have【C6】______meaning until they are strung together into phrases, sentences and paragraphs. 【C7】______, however, the untrained reader does not read groups of words. He laboriously reads one word at a time, often regressing to 【C8】______words or passages. Regression, the tendency to look back over【C9】______you have just read, is a common bad habit in reading. Another habit which【C10】______down the speed of reading is vocalization—sounding each word either orally or mentally as【C11】______reads. To overcome these bad habits, some reading clinics use a device called an【C12】______, which moves a bar(or curtain)down the page at a predetermined speed. The bar is set at a slightly faster rate【C13】______the reader finds comfortable, in order to “stretch”him. The accelerator forces the reader to read fast, 【C14】______word-by-word reading, regression and sub vocalization practically impossible. At first【C15】______is sacrificed for speed. But when you learn to read ideas and concepts, you will not only read faster, 【C16】______your comprehension will improve. Many people have found【C17】______reading skill drastically improvedafter some training. 【C18】______Charlie Au, a business manager, for instance, his reading rate was a reasonably good 172 words a minute【C19】______the training, now it is an excellent 1,378 words a minute. He is delighted that how he can【C20】______a lot more reading materials in a short period of time.51．【C1】A．applyingB．doingC．offeringD．getting正确答案：D52．【C2】A．quicklyB．easilyC．roughlyD．decidedly正确答案：A53．【C3】A．goodB．curiousC．poorD．urgent正确答案：C54．【C4】A．trainingB．habitsC．situationsD．custom正确答案：B55．【C5】A．liesB．combinesC．touchesD．involves正确答案：A56．【C6】A．someB．a lot C．little D．dull正确答案：C57．【C7】A．Fortunately B．In fact C．Logically D．Unfortunately正确答案：D58．【C8】A．reuse B．reread C．rewrite D．recite正确答案：B59．【C9】A．what B．which C．thatD．if正确答案：A60．【C10】A．scales B．cuts C．slows D．measures正确答案：C61．【C11】A．some oneB．oneC．he D．reader正确答案：B62．【C12】A．accelerator B．actor C．amplifier D．observer正确答案：A63．【C13】A．thenB．as C．beyond D．than正确答案：D64．【C14】A．enabling B．leading C．making D．indicating正确答案：C65．【C15】A．meaning B．comprehension C．gist D．regression正确答案：B66．【C16】A．butB．norC．orD．for正确答案：A67．【C17】A．ourB．yourC．theirD．such a正确答案：C68．【C18】A．Look atB．TakeC．MakeD．Consider正确答案：B69．【C19】A．forB．inC．afterD．before正确答案：D70．【C20】A．masterB．go overC．presentD．get through正确答案：DWriting71．For this part you are allowed thirty minutes to write a composition on the topic: Should College Students Establish a Business?

Martin Luther King was a black minister, who became a great leader of the civil rights movement in the 1950s and 1960s. King was born on January 15, 1929 in Atlanta, Georgia. When he was young, he was strongly influenced by Thoreau and Indian leader Mahatma Gandhi's idea of non-violent resistance. Having received a Ph. D (Doctor of Philosophy) from Boston University, he became a political and religious leader of the nonviolent civil relights movement in 1955. On August 28, 1963, he led over 250,000 Americans on a march in Washington D.C. to fight for the Civil Rights Law to guarantee equality for all people, and delivered his best known speech "I Have a Dream" before the Lincoln Memorial. The "dream" is a dream of brotherly love and equality for the Black and White. Thus, he was awarded the Nobel Prize for peace in 1964, but he was murdered four years later. Though he died, he was greatly respected and loved by the Americans, both the white and the black. By vote of Congress in 1968, the third Monday of Martin Luther King was murdered when he was 39 years old.(3分)

They are just the people who have always been around. They make a fuss over the children in the family, show off to their friends the achievements of this child or that child, and show countless pictures of new babies. Grandfathers can fix anything, and grandmothers always have homemade biscuits around.When you are small, it's fun to stay with your grandparents because they always let you do things you can't do at home, and, of course, they buy you things. They are always able to babysit because they don't go out much and actually prefer to see their grandchildren. They are usually good for a small loan now and then that doesn't need to be paid back because they turn it into a gift. You respectfully listen to their advice but don't thank them politely for what they do for you, and then don't call or visit them until you need something else. And, of course, you never tell them how dear they are to you because they know how you feel about them anyway. Then all of a sudden, they are no longer there to do the things that only grandparents can do, and you find yourself wishing that you had told them what they meant to you as people and not just as grandparents.31 What is the position of grandparents in the family according to the writer?（A）They are the most important people among family members.（B）They are the least important people among family members.（C）They are the ones at whom their children or grandchildren usually laugh.（D）They are the ones whom their children or grandchildren respect most.32 Grandparents usually do many things except( ).（A）buy their grandchildren things（B）look after their grandchildren（C）let their grandchildren do things they can't do at home（D）tell their grandchildren how dear they are to them33 Why don't children need to pay back the loan from their grandparents? （A）Their grandparents will forget the loan.（B）Their grandparents pay back the loan for them.（C）Their grandparents die before they have enough money to pay it back. （D）Their grandparents turn the loan into a gift.34 Children never tell their grandparents how dear they are to them because( ). （A）they don't like their grandparents（B）they take for granted everything their grandparents do for them（C）their grandparents know how they feel（D）they do not respect their grandparents35 How do children feel after their grandparents die?（A）They regret they didn't express their true feelings to them.（B）They feel sorry that grandparents are the least valued in the family.（C）They miss them very much because no one does the things that grandparents do. （D）They wish they had visited and called them more often.35 Many American colleges permit foreign students to live in college housing or housing not owned by the university, such as an apartment. College housing is usually in a dormitory, or dorm for short. Many foreign students say that the dorms are less costly than apartments. They say dorms offer quiet study areas and areas for social activities or sports. They say dorms are close to places they go every day, like the library, computer center and classrooms. They also say that living in the room provides the best chance to get to know other students.Dormitories may have as few as twelve students or as many as one thousand. Some dorms are organized into areas called suites. Suites have several bedrooms, a large, living area and a bathroom. Six or more people may live in one suite. Other dorms have many rooms along a hallway. Two students usually live in each room. On each floor there is a large bathroom for all the students who live on that floor. Sometimes there is also a kitchen for preparing food.In most universities, males and females live in the same dorm. They may even live on the same floor. But they usually may not live in the same room or suite. Most universities have some dorms for men and women.36 Where do some foreign students in American colleges prefer to live?（A）In a hotel（B）In a house（C）In an apartment（D）In a friend's home37 What may be the reason for a foreign student to choose to live in a dorm?（A）It is cheaper（B）It has a big living room（C）It is cleaner（D）It is owned by the university38 How many students can a dorm hold at most according to the passage? （A）Two（B）Six（C）Twelve（D）A thousand39 One of the advantages of living in a dorm is that( ).（A）it is easier for the students to get in touch with other students （B）the students can go to school library every day（C）the students can use personal computers freely（D）more than two students may live in one room40 Which of following statement is TRUE according to the passage? （A）All the students in a dorm share one large bathroom.（B）Students are not allowed to cook in the dorm.（C）Female students and male students cannot live in the same dorm.（D）Living in the dorm is helpful to develop your relation with others.40 Cars are an important part of life in the United States. Without a car, most people feel that they are poor. An even if a person is poor he doesn't feel really poor when he has a car.Henry Ford was the man who first started making cars in large numbers. He probably didn't know how much the car was going to affect American culture. The car made the Unite States a nation on wheels. And it helped make the United States what it is today.There are three main reasons the car became so popular in the United States. First of all, the country is a huge one and Americans like to move around in it. The car provides the most comfortable and cheapest form of transportation. With a car people can go any place without spending a lot of money.The second reason cars are popular is the fact that the United States never really developed an efficient and inexpensive form of public transportation. Long-distance trains have never been as common in the United States as they are in other parts of the world. Nowadays, there is a good system of air-service provided by planes. But it is too expensive to be used frequently.The third reason is the most important one, though. The American spirit of independence is what really made cars popular. Americans don't like to wait for a bus or a train or even a plane. They don't like to have to follow an exact schedule. A car gives them the freedom to schedule their own time. And this is the freedom that Americans want most to have.The gas shortage has caused a big problem for Americans. But the answer will not be a bigger system of public transportation. The real solution will have to be a new kind of car, one that does not use so much gas.41 When do most Americans feel they are poor?（A）When they don't have a car.（B）When they live in a huge country.（C）When they don't use planes.（D）When they have a car.42 Which of the following is NOT the reason why cars become popular in the United States?（A）The United States is not so huge.（B）Public transportation is not so convenient.（C）Americans like to be independent.（D）Americans like to move around.43 What public transportation is good in the United States?（A）Buses.（B）Trains.（C）Taxis.（D）Planes.44 What has caused a big problem for Americans?（A）A new kind of car.（B）Public transportation.（C）The gas shortage.（D）Poor people.45 Which of the following is NOT mentioned according to this passage?（A）Cars have made the nation on wheels.（B）Cars have made the United States have a gas shortage.（C）Nearly 80% of the American people have cars.（D）Cars have made American independent.45 There is a difference between science and technology. Science is a method of answering theoretical questions; technology is a method of solving practical problems. Science has to do with the facts and relationships between observable phenomena in nature and with establishing theories that serve to organize these facts and relationships; technology has to do with tools, techniques, and procedures for implementing the finding of science.Another distinction between science and technology has to do with the progress in each. Progress in science excludes the human factor. Scientists, who seek to comprehend the universe and know the truth with the highest degree of accuracy and certainty, cannot pay attention to their own or other people's likes or dislikes or to popular ideas about the fitness of things. What scientists discover may shock or anger people—as did Darwin's theory of evolution. But even an unpleasant truth is more than likely to be useful; besides, we have the choice of refusing to believe it! But it's hardly so with technology and we do not have the choice of refusing to hear the sonic boom produced by a supersonic aircraft flying overhead; we do not have the choice of refusing to breathe polluted air; and we do not have the choice of living in a non-atomic age. Unlike science progress, technology must be measured in terms of the human factor, The legitimate purpose of technology is to serve people in general, not merely some people; and future generations, not merely those who presently wish to gain advantage for themselves. Technology must be humanistic if it is to lead to a better world.46 Which of the following statements about science is NOT true?（A）Science provides answers to theoretical questions.（B）Science seeks to comprehend the universe.（C）Science aims to discover the inter-connections of facts and the rules that explain them.（D）Science serves people in general and can be measured in terms of the human factor.47 Which of the following statements about technology is NOT true?（A）Technology provides answers to practical problems.（B）Technology seeks to establish theories based on facts.（C）Technology helps change the material world.（D）Technology has to do with new designs and ways of making the things we use in our daily life.48 According to the author, scientific theories( ).（A）must be strictly objective（B）usually pay attention to people's likes and dislikes（C）should conform to popular opinions（D）always convince everyone49 The author states that technology itself( ).（A）is responsible for pollution and resource exhaustion（B）should serve those who wish to gain advantage for themselves（C）will lead to a better world if put to wise use（D）will inevitably be for bad motivation50 The tone of the author in this passage is( ).（A）ironical（B）critical（C）factual（D）arbitrary二、Cloze50 For many people today, reading is no longer relaxation. To keep up their work they must read letters, reports, trade publications, interoffice communications, not to mention newspapers and magazines—a never-ending flood of words. In【C1】______a job oradvancing in one, the ability to read and comprehend【C2】______can mean the difference between success and failure. Yet the unfortunate fact is that most of us are【C3】______readers. Most of us develop poor reading【C4】______at an early age,and never get over them.The main deficiency【C5】______in the actual stuff oflanguage itself—words. Taken individually, words have【C6】______meaning untilthey are strung together into phrases, sentences and paragraphs. 【C7】______, however, the untrained reader does not read groups of words. He laboriously reads one word at a time, often regressing to 【C8】______words or passages. Regression, the tendency to look back over【C9】______you have just read, is a common bad habit in reading. Another habit which【C10】______down the speed of reading is vocalization—sounding each word either orally or mentally as【C11】______reads.To overcome these bad habits, some reading clinics use a device called an【C12】______, which moves a bar(or curtain)down the page at a predetermined speed. The baris set at a slightly faster rate【C13】______the reader finds comfortable, in order to "stretch"him. The accelerator forces the reader to read fast, 【C14】______word-by-word reading, regression and sub vocalization practically impossible. At first【C15】______is sacrificed for speed. But when you learn to read ideas and concepts, you will not only read faster, 【C16】______your comprehension will improve. Many people have found【C17】______reading skill drastically improved after some training.【C18】______Charlie Au, a business manager, for instance, his reading rate was a reasonably good 172 words a minute【C19】______the training, now it is an excellent 1,378 words a minute. He is delighted that how he can【C20】______a lot more reading materials in a short period of time.51 【C1】（A）applying（B）doing（C）offering（D）getting52 【C2】（A）quickly（B）easily（C）roughly（D）decidedly53 【C3】（A）good （B）curious （C）poor （D）urgent 54 【C4】（A）training （B）habits （C）situations （D）custom 55 【C5】（A）lies （B）combines （C）touches （D）involves 56 【C6】（B）a lot（C）little（D）dull57 【C7】（A）Fortunately （B）In fact （C）Logically （D）Unfortunately 58 【C8】（A）reuse（B）reread（C）rewrite （D）recite59 【C9】（A）what（C）that （D）if60 【C10】（A）scales （B）cuts （C）slows （D）measures 61 【C11】（A）some one （B）one （C）he（D）reader62 【C12】（A）accelerator （B）actor（D）observer63 【C13】（A）then（B）as（C）beyond（D）than64 【C14】（A）enabling （B）leading（C）making （D）indicating65 【C15】（A）meaning （B）comprehension （C）gist（D）regression 66 【C16】（A）but （B）nor （C）or（D）for67 【C17】（A）our （B）your （C）their （D）such a68 【C18】（A）Look at （B）Take （C）Make （D）Consider69 【C19】（A）for（B）in（C）after（D）before70 【C20】（A）master（B）go over（C）present（D）get through三、Writing71 For this part you are allowed thirty minutes to write a composition on the topic: Should College Students Establish a Business?

Then, mark your answer by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.20 As we recently discovered, there is a Stepmother's Day, though it is not on any official holiday calendar. So, it would be safe to assume that there is a similar day for stepdads, too. Right? Well, it depends on what you read. A Google search brought up posts that say, for example, " It's on father's day—father's day is for fathers, step - fathers and people who are like fathers to you—it's a day for making father figures feel special. " Further searching found a Stepfather's Day Facebook page that says, "The unofficial Stepfather's Day is the fourth Sunday of June. " Unfortunately, as of the publishing of this article, only 30 people have " liked" the page. Considering that studies show 3. 3 million men, or 11. 1% of U. S. fathers, live with at least one stepchild, that's only a drop in the ocean.It's interesting to note that there is a National Grandparents'Day. President Jimmy Carter signed it into law in 1978. Law! While grandparents are undoubtedly special people in our children's lives, they are often seen as the most loving family members. But what about the stepparents? The stepparents are the ones who are often the outsiders, the ones who have to endure the hurtful"You're not my dad!"or"You're not my mom!"And yet they never give up. They do their best to overcome the inherent challenges of stepparents and be role models for their stepchildren. These unsung (未被颂扬的) family heroes deserve "official "days of honor. Perhaps if we are loud enough, President Obama,who had a stepfather himself, will sign into law National Stepmother's Day and National Stepfather's Day.Are you with me? Follow me and get your voice heard. How cool it would be if we could make this happen!21 What does the underlined word" that" in Paragraph 1 refer to?（A）11. 1% of U. S. fathers who live with at least one stepchild in the U. S.（B）3. 3 million men who live with at least one stepchild in the world.（C）Father figures who are equally honored in the U. S.（D）30 people who support Stepfather's Day on the Facebook page.22 What did President Jimmy Carter sign into law in 1978?（A）The National Stepchildren's Day.（B）The National Stepparents'Day.（C）The National Grandparents'Day.（D）The National Grandchildren's Day.23 Which of the following is closest in meaning to the word" inherent" in Paragraph 2? （A）Inevitable.（B）Lasting.（C）Unbelievable.（D）Tough.24 What is the reason for setting an official holiday for stepparents?（A）Because they are often seen as the most loving family members.（B）Because they deserve respect and honor as family members.（C）Because they love their role as stepparents.（D）Because they are often treated as heroes in the family.24 Most students choose " Homestay" accommodation when they study abroad: others select Home-stay even if they are not on a study visit. Statistics show that it's a form of accommodation gaining in popularity all the time.But what is Homestay? And what makes it so popular?Homestay means living with a family, or "host family" as we say. There are three ways of doing it:choose to learn English in a language school near to your Homestay location:have your English classes in the house with a member of the family who is a qualified teacher:select not to have classes at all when you visit—a popular choice if you want to do the tourist thing for example.Even in their busy summer period the organizations that arrange the Homestays will always try to place you with the most suitable host family to match your requirements. Placement (安置 ) organizations think about location, interests, language level, eating requirements, allergies (过敏) and other requests you may have.Though prices vary according to your needs, good quality Homestay accommodation can be relatively economical—and although you may be charged an extra amount of money if you want your Homestay in or near the city centre. Even if you stay further out, you can expect your journey into the centre not to exceed 30 minutes.Not only does Homestay accommodation represent value for money, it also gives you an excellent opportunity to practise English with your host family. This is a very important extra for students who like to speak as much English as possible. But if you plan to learn English, why not have your English classes in your host family? There's no better way to learn English than this—the perfect combination of learning and accommodation combined with the cultural experience !25 Homestay is an ideal choice for students who______.（A）want to learn statistics（B）plan to study overseas（C）plan to visit relatives（D）want to stay at home26 Who will consider students' requirements before their Homestay starts?（A）The language school.（B）The host family.（C）The English teacher.（D）The placement organization.27 Which of the following is a key factor affecting the price of Homestay?（A）Students' specific needs.（B）Students' language level.（C）Nationality of the host family.（D）Eating habits of the host family.28 What can be inferred from the passage?（A）The author finds Homestay accommodation expensive.（B）The author finds Homestay arrangement complicated.（C）The author is in favor of Homestay accommodation.（D）The author is doubtful about the safety of Homestay.28 Using less energy around the home is easier than you might think, saving your money while creating a healthier, more comfortable living space for you and your family. Changing a few old habits can make an impact on your energy bill, your comfort and theenvironment. Here are some handy tips to make your house more energy-efficient. Lower the heatIf your home has adjustable central heating, lowering the room temperature even slightly can make a difference. You may not feel it, but your wallet will. It is even more advisable to control temperatures at different times of the day. Hang clothes out to dryIf the weather allows it, head outside and dry your laundry on a clothesline. The sunlight will help eliminate bacteria and dust. While clothes dryers get the job done faster, they also use up energy. By hanging your clothes out you'll be cutting greenhouse gases by about three kilograms per load. Take advantage of natural lightInstalling large windows on the northern side of your house can help you make use of sunlight's natural warmth. To stay cool indoors on hot summer days, install blinds(百叶窗) to block the heavy sun. Put your desk near the window, then you don't need a lamp in the daytime. Wrap (裹) your pipesBe sure your hot-water pipes are properly wrapped. In an average home, heating water accounts for more than one-quarter of the energy bill. Why let warmth go to waste before it reaches you? Choose the right size for appliances (家用电器)When the time comes to replace appliances, select those that are both energy-efficient and of the appropriate size for your needs. Don't buy bigger ones just because you can.29 What benefit may using less energy at home bring about?（A）Enlarging your living space.（B）Keeping old habits unchanged.（C）Having a healthier living environment.（D）Improving your work efficiency.30 Which of the following is one of the advantages of hanging clothes out to dry?（A）It gets clothes dry much faster than clothes dryers.（B）It uses half the energy that clothes dryers do.（C）It may help to build a greenhouse.（D）It helps remove bacteria in clothes.31 What can be installed on the northern side of your house to make better use of natural light?（A）Shades.（B）Windows.（C）Blinds.（D）Curtains.32 Besides energy-efficiency, what else should be considered when replacing appliances? （A）Proper size.（B）Good quality.（C）Replacing time.（D）Reasonable price.32 I talk to strangers for a living and love the challenge of getting their stories published in news-papers. I've been married for years, but until six months ago, I couldbe a typical absent-minded husband. Often I was just nodding when I was supposed to. When my wife asked, " Did you even hear what I just said?"I would defensively say, " Of course I did!"In January, I began to lose my voice. Doctors told me I needed surgery, or my throat would be permanently damaged. Total silence would be required for the first few weeksof my recovery.Two hours after the surgery, my eyes filled with tears as my two—year—old son looked puzzled because I wouldn't answer his questions. I wanted to talk but couldn't. Luckily, I'd recorded myself reading some of his favorite books. That would come in handy the next couple of weeks.When I got home, I noriced a"side effect" : as my wife talked to me to keep up my spirits, I wasn't just hearing her: I was listening to her. Over the next few weeks, I didn't want to miss a word she said. I began to hear sweetness in her voice. It had never left. I'd just stopped noticing. I found myself understanding her better on topics I'd previouslydismissed as" things I just don't get as a guy". I also realized my son wasn't just talking nonstop but that he often had thoughtful things to say. Even while walking my dog in the woods near our home, I began hearing pleasant patterns in birdsongs. Before my surgery, I'd have spent those walks on my phone.After several weeks, I was fully recovered. Conversation in our house is better now, not because I'm talking more. I'm just listening better and becoming less and less surprised that I like what I hear.33 According to the passage, the author is most likely a______.（A）journalist（B）doctor（C）driver（D）teacher34 What does the wife mean by asking" Did you even hear what I just said?" in Paragraph 1 ?（A）You didn't have to nod while you were listening.（B）You should tell me what I said iust now.（C）You should listen to me.（D）You didn't want to talk with me.35 What is true of the author after the surgery?（A）He was unwilling to talk to his wife.（B）He was unable to communicate with his son.（C）He was required to keep silent for the first few months.（D）He was worried about his recovery after the surgery.36 What did the author realize after the surgery?（A）His dog liked pleasant birdsongs.（B）His son didn't like talking.（C）His wife was a talkative woman.（D）His house was full of pleasant talks.36 Coconut(椰子)is an unusual food for many reasons. It is one of the largestedible seeds produced by any plant. Its unusual contents also make it unique in the seed world—it consists of both" meat" and" water" inside. The coconut meat is the white substance with which we are all familiar, as it is used extensively for cooking and flavorings: the coconut water is a white and sweet liquid.Portuguese (葡萄牙的) explorers gave the nut its name in the 15th century, referring to it as coco , meaning" ghost" in their language. The outside appearance of coconuts reminded them of a ghost's face, and the tree has had that name ever since.The coconut has varied uses. It is used to make various cooking oils for fast-food restaurants around the world to make diet materials. The coconut fluid is a favorite drink in hot climates, providing a cool and refreshing beverage fight off the tree. This water is also used by manufacturers of various sports drinks. Even the shell itself has many uses, including animal food and fertilizer.Yet the coconut is also useful in many ways that have nothing to do with food. Coconut oil is used for cosmetics(化妆品) , medicines, and so on. Dried coconut shells are used in many countries as a tool for shining wood floors. The shells are also used for shirt buttons, and are commonly found on Hawaiian clothing. They are even used for musical instruments and bird houses.And all these are only some of the uses found for the coconut fruit. The coconut tree, which produces the nut, also produces many useful things. It's no wonder that the coconut tree has been taken as"the tree of life".37 What does the underlined word "edible "in Paragraph 1 mean?（A）Eatable.（B）Available.（C）Visible.（D）Collectible.38 The coconut got its name because of______. （A）its round shape（B）its ghostlike appearance（C）its hard shell（D）its white color39 What is the passage mainly about?（A）Types of coconut seeds.（B）The discovery of coconut.（C）The history of coconut.（D）Uses of coconut.40 What can be learned from the passage? （A）Coconut fluid can become fertilizer. （B）Coconut trunks are houses for birds. （C）Coconut trees are useful plants.（D）Coconut oil is rare and expensive.四、Part IV ClozeDirections: There are some blanks in the following passages.

Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens and white paper, I decided that the act of writingmust be the most wonderful thing in the world.Years later, during her final illness, mother kept different things for my sister and brother. “But the desk ,”she said again, “is for Elizabeth.”I never saw her angry, never saw her cry. I knew she loved me; she showed it in action. But as a young girl,I wanted heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter.They never happened. And a gulf opened between us.

My hope turned to disappointment, then little interest and, finally, peace it seemed that nothing happened. Icouldn ’t be sure that the letter had even got to Mother. I only knew that I had written it, and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not.Now the present of her desk told me, as she ’d never been able to, that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work. I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside — a photo of my father and a one-page letter, folded(折叠) and refolded many times.

Mark stopped and helped the boy pickup these things. Since they were going the same way, he helped to carry some of his things. As they walked, Markknew that the boy’s name was Bill, that he loved computer games, basketball and history, and that he was having lotsof troubles with his other subjects and that he had just broken up with his girlfriend.They arrived at Bill’s home first and Mark was invited(邀请) in for a Coke and to watch some television.

At last just three weeks before they finished high school, Bill asked Mark if they could talk.Bill asked Mark if he still remembered the day years ago when they had first met. “Did you ever think why I was carrying so many things home that day?” asked Bill. “You see, I cleaned out my locker(锁柜) because I didn’t wan t to leave anything for anyone else. I had put away some of my mother’s sleeping pills and I was going home to kill myself.

He found an inn and wanted to stay there for the night. After he had gone to his room, the owner said to his wife, “Look at his bag, dear. I’m sure there are lo ts of valuable things in it. I want to steal it when he is asleep.”“No, no,” said the woman. “He must look for his bag tomorrow morning. Then he’ll take you before the judge.” They thought and at last the woman had an idea. “We have forgetful grass,” said the woman, “Why not put some into his food? If he has the food, he will forget to take his bag away.” “How clever you are!” said the owner, “Don’t forget it when you prepare supper for him.”The old man had the food with the forgetful grass and went to bed. The next morning, when the owner got up, he found the door was open and the old man had left with his bag. He woke his wife up and said angrily, “What a fool!

During the twentieth century there has been a remarkable shortening of the time of woman’s life spe nt in caring for children. A woman marrying at the end of the nineteenth century would probably have been in her middle twenties, and would be likely to have seven or eight children, of whom four or five live till they were five years old. By the time the youngest was fifteen, the mother would have been in her early fifties and would expect to live a further twenty years, during which health made it unusual for her to get paid work. Today women marry younger and have fewer children. Usually a woman’s youngest child will be fifteen when she is forty-five and can be expected to live another thirty years and is likely to take paid work until retirement at sixty. Even while she has the care of children, her work is lightened by modern living conditions.Th is important change in women’s life pattern has only recently begun to have its full effect on women’s economic position. Even a few years ago most girls left school at the first chance, and most of them took a full time job. However, when they married, they usually left work at once and never return to it. Today the school-leaving age is sixteen; many girls stay at school after that age, and though women usually marry younger, more married women stay at least until shortly before their first child is born. V ery many more afterwards return to full or part-time job. Such changes have led to a new relationship in marriage, with the husband accepting a greater share of the duties and satisfactions of family life, and with both husband and wife sharing more equally in providing the money, and running the house, according to the abilities and interests of each of them.26. According to the passage, around the year 1900 most women married _____.A. at about twenty fiveB. in their early fiftiesC. as soon as possible after they were fifteenD. at any age from fifteen to forty-five27. We are told that in a common family in 1890s _____.A. seven or eight children lived to be more than fiveB. many children died before they were fiveC. the youngest child would be fifteenD. four or five children died when they were five【第2页共3页】28. When she was over fifty, the late nineteenth century mother _____.A. would be healthy enough to take part paid jobsB. was usually expected to die fairly soonC. was unlikely to find a job if she wanted oneD. would expect to work till she died29. According to the passage, the women of today usually _____.A. marry instead of getting paid workB.marry before they are twenty-fiveC. have more children under fifteenD. have too few children30. The best title for this passage is _____.A. Women’s lifeB. The Change of Women’s LifeC. Women’s MarriageD. Women’s New LifeA.

Reading ComprehensionDirections: There are 12 reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneThis is not the world we know. This world is controlled by computers. Men and women can be seen, but they are following orders given to them by machines. The machines were designed by mad scientists, but at some point even the mad scientists were taken over by their super-inventions.Does this sound familiar? You have probably read something like it in magazines or books, or seen it in a film. Why is it so popular? One of the reasons is that it reflects the fears of many people; fear of the unknown, fear of what is not understood or, at least, fear of something that is not completely understood.The fact is that every day it seems that computers take control of another area of our lives. Some factory jobs are now done by robots and the robots are controlled by computers. Our bank accounts are managed by computers. At the airport, our tickets are sold by a computer. Certainly, many of these operations are made more efficient by computers, but our admiration is sometimes mixed with unsafe feelings. And this lack of safety is caused by the fact that we do not know how computers do these things, and we really don’t know what they might do next.But we can find out how computers work, and once we understand them, we can use computers instead of worrying about being used by them. Today, there is a new generation of computer wizards (奇才) who know exactly how computers get things done. These young men and women, usually university students, are happy to sit for hours, sometimes for days, designing programs, not eating, not sleeping, but discovering what can be done by these wonderful slaves which they have learned to control. These computer wizards have learned to use the computer and search for new tasks for their machines.161. We can know that the scientists who designed the machines _____________.A. are careless in their daily lifeB. are unkind and cruelC. are out of their mindD. have great abilities162. The reason why many people are afraid of computers is that ____________.A. they don't know anything about computersB. they haven't really understood computersC. there are so many computer gamesD. computers are often down163.

The author's attitude (态度) towards widely used computers is_________.A. positiveB. anxiousC. worriedD. curiousPassage TwoKnowledge is power. But there is another thing we must remember. An intelligent mind needs a strong body to make it most useful.There are a great many good exercises for building up our bodies. Many of them may be done indoors in rainy weather. Indoor exercises, however, are never as helpful as those taken out of doors because in the open air there is more oxygen. The air in the house is not fresh. But out of doors it is very fresh, especially in the morning.But what shall we play? There are a number of games such as football, basketball, races and so on. Any game with plenty of exercises is good.Do not neglect your health. It is of as much importance as your mind.
