At your school, sickness may be the only one. But in British schools, family events are also well-accepted ones. The National Association of Head Teachers in the UK has written new guidelines about students asking for leave. They will allow parents to take their children out of school for family weddings or funerals (葬礼) or visiting an ill relative.This is a change from the 2013 guidelines that stopped parents taking children out of school without permission. Otherwise, they could have got a fine of 60 pounds (about 600 yuan) or faced court. Family events were not proper excuses to get permission.Many parents complained about this rule.“Taking family events is very important for children’s growth and that is a lesson the schools cannot ever teach our children.” John Hemming, chairman of Parents Want a Say Organization, told The Independent.The new change supports this idea and gives permission to students taking time off for family events. It’s now OK for British students to take time off for family events.In China, however, many students rarely have time off for family events.“That’s part of the reason for the generation gap (代沟) between parents and children,” GuoHongxia, a researcher at National Institute of Education Sciences, wrote in China Education Daily. 4．In Chinese schools ________ is a good excuse to ask for time off.A．any excuse B．only sicknessC．school sport D．family events5．In the UK now, parents won’t be allowed to take out their children out of school because of________.A．family weddings B．family funeralsC．fishing organization D．visiting an ill relative6．Before 2013, ________ could get a fine or face court after taking children out without permission in the UK.A．Parents Want a Say B．the head teachers of the schoolC．children’s teachers D．children’s parents7．According to the passage, we know that ________.A．in the UK, there’s a big generation gap between parents and childrenB．in China, many students seldom have time off for family eventsC．there’s no difference between the rules of taking time off in the worldD．all the students aren’t allowed to take time off for family eventsA young man once went into town and bought himself a pair of trousers. When he got home, he went upstairs to his living room and put them on. He found that they were about two inches too long.He went downstairs, where his mother and his two sisters were washing up the tea things in the kitchen, “These new trousers are too long,” he said. “They need to be cut short by about two inches. Would one of you mind doing this for me, please?” His mother and sisters were busy and none of them said anything.But as soon as his mother finished washing up, she went upstairs to her son’s room and cut the trousers short by two inches. She came downstairs without saying anything to her daughters.Later, after supper, the elder sister remembered her brother’s trousers. She was a kind-hearted girl, so she went quietly upstairs without saying anything to anyone, and shorted the trousers by two inches.The younger sister went to the cinema, but when she came back, she, too,remembered what her brother had said. So she ran upstairs with her scissors, needle, and thread(剪子，针和线),and took two inches off the legs of the new trousers.You can imagine the look on the young man’s face when he put the trousers on the next morning.8．The main idea of this passage is that____________.A．the young man bought himself a pair of trousersB．the young man’ new trousers were cut too shortC．the young man’s mother and sisters hated to speak to each otherD．the young man was loved by his mother and sisters very much9．Why didn’t the young man’s mother and sisters give him a reply after he asked one of them to cut his trousers short?A．Because they did not know how to answer him.B．Because they were too busy to answer him.C．Because they were used to keeping silence when they were busy.D．Because they all thought someone else wanted to do it.10．How many inches were the new trousers cut short by his sisters?A．2 inches B．6 inches C．4 inches D．8 inches 11．What would the young man feel when he put the trousers on the next morning?A．Worried B．Cry C．Surprising D．SadOfficials have unveiled the gold, silver and bronze medals that will be awarded at this summer’s Olympic games in Paris, and each one contains a unique souvenir: a fragment (碎片) of waste iron from the Eiffel Tower.“It’s the opportunity for the athletes to bring back a piece of Paris with them,” Thierry Reboul, creative director of Paris 2024, told reporters last week. “The absolute symbol of Paris and France is the Eiffel Tower.”The Eiffel Tower opened in 1889 and during the later repair work, some of the original iron was cut off and preserved over time. Now, some of those preserved metal fragments have found new homes.Each new Olympic me dal features a piece of Eiffel Tower iron — though the signature “Eiffel Tower brown” paint has been removed. These pieces have been shaped into hexagons (六边形), which is the “shape of France”. Besides, there are words “Paris 2024”, the Olympic rings and the Games logo, which looks like a flame or the face of a woman with a bob haircut.How did they think of such an idea? Joachim Roncin, head of design at the Paris Games organizing committee told the press, “We talked about the design many times and realized that there’s one symbol known across the world, which is the Eiffel Tower. We said to ourselves, ‘Hey, what if we approached the Eiffel Tower Operating Company to see if it’s possible to get a bit of the Eiffel Tower to integrate into the medal?’”When the Eiffel Tower Operating Company agreed to volunteer pieces of original iron, “the dream became reality,” adds Roncin.The medals, designed by the luxury Paris jewelry house Chaumet, make people think of the Eiffel Tower in several other ways. The pieces of iron are secured by what looks like special nails that hold the structure together, and the medals’ ribbons are decorated with patterns of the tower’s latticework structure.The iron fragments are set in recycled silver, gold and bronze disks. Over 5,000 medals are being made.12．What does Thierry mean by saying “bring back a piece of Paris”?A．The athletes will buy souvenirs about Paris.B．The athletes will take many photos of Paris.C．Part of the athletes’ medal is from the symbol of Paris.D．The Eiffel Tower will be left in the athletes’ memory.13．What is mainly talked about in paragraph 4?A．The symbolic meaning of the hexagons.B．The shape and material of the Olympic medal.C．The processing technique of the Eiffel Tower iron pieces.D．The design of the Eiffel Tower iron fragment on the medal.14．How did the designers get the idea of adding the waste iron?A．From a strange dream.B．By asking for the public.C．Through their discussion.D．By studying the Eiffel Tower.15．What can we infer about the new Olympic medals?A．They are innovative.B．They are light.C．They have six sides.D．They are golden-colored.If the only reading you ever do is the novel or magazine, the speed at which you read -probably does not matter very much. But if you have to read a great deal for study, you will appreciate the benefits of being able to read more quickly. 16·Before you open the book, make sure that you are comfortable. You need a seat which supports your back and the book should be at the right distance from your eyes. 1718 Look at the table of contents, the preface, the chapter heading,etc.This will help you to decide whether you really need to read the whole book or only certain parts of it. Ten minutes spent in this way could save you quite a lot of time in the long run.If you decide that you need to read the whole book, decide how much you can read at a time. 19 A history book which may contain the facts in story form will be easier to read than one dealing with scientific subjects. In the former case you may be able to read a chapter. In the latter you may only be able to read one page.Always keep a pencil and paper beside you. 20 Note also the facts important for your purpose as well as anything which leads you to further research. You don't have to write these things in detail. It is enough to put the page number and one or two words as a reminder . A．Stop to have a rest now and then.B．Spend a few minutes looking through the book.C．This depends on the type of book you are reading.D．Here are some tips to help improve your reading speed.E．Make a note of any page which is of special importance.F．You may find yourself having to learn something by heart.G．Keep the room cool rather than warm to avoid feeling sleepy.二、完形填空Carney found her father’s bucket list (遗愿清单) in a brown bag by chance.

It sits on a rock in the harbor(海港). It came from a performance of a ballet based on the fairy story The Little Mermaid by Hans Christian Andersen. It was shown to the public on 23 August, 1913. And there are many tourists taking photos with the Little Mermaid every year.The Taj MahalAs one of the Seven Wonders of the World,the Taj Mahal is the jewel of India.

In doing so, she became an inspiring role model for women and girls around the world.Her passion for women’s rights began when she was young. She started off her adult life having trouble finding a job. Even though she was smart, determined, and capable of doing the job, she was passed over primarily because she was a woman. She felt like she was being treated unfairly, or discriminated against, only because she was a woman. She wanted to do something about it. But at the time there were no laws in the United States to protect her.She decided to devote her career to being a lawyer and fighting for equal rights of women. Then, early in her legal career, when she was 29 years old, Ms. Ginsburg took a trip to Sweden to perform legal research. What she saw really focused her on fighting for women in the workplace. Seeing the progress women had made in Sweden convinced her even more that America was behind and wrong in its treatment of women.Back in the USA, laws advocating for women’s rights were missing. She decided that she would help invent laws, write them, and defend them. Ginsburg would also become a professor to help other women to become lawyers so that they could do the same thing. And then, in 1993, after years’ practicing and teaching laws, she became only the 2nd female justice of the Supreme Court.At only 5'1" tall and as a generally quiet person, Ms. Ginsburg’s power came from her focus, her determination, and her integrity (诚实正直).

Researchers say that getting older should not necessarily mean becoming more weak or sick. Their research shows that a devotion to a life of movement and exercise may help us live not only longer, but also healthier.For their study, the researchers looked at two groups. The first group was made up of 125 non-professional cyclists between the ages of 55 to 79. This group included 84 healthy men and 41 healthy women. We will call this group the “cyclists”.Researchers then found 130 people to make up a second group. Within this group, 75 people were aged from 57 to 80. The other 55 were between the ages of 20 and 36. The people in this group were also healthy, but they did not exercise regularly. We will call this group the “non-exercisers”. Smokers, heavy drinkers of alcohol and people with other health issues were not included in the study.Then, researchers gave both groups a series of tests. They tested their muscle mass (肌肉质量), muscular strength, percentage of body fat and the strength of their immune (免疫的) systems. Then the researchers compared the results of the two groups.Results showed that the cyclists did not experience body changes usually regarded as a normal aging process. For example, they did not lose muscle mass or muscular strength. Also, their body fat did not increase with age.The researchers also found something they had not expected. The study showed that the immune systems of the cyclists did not age either.The researchers advise us all to find an exercise that we like in our lives.12．How did the researchers carry out the study?A．By comparing.B．By discussing.C．By imagining.D．By reasoning.13．Which of the following is a result of the research?A．The cyclists kept a thin body shape.B．The non-exercisers gained weight easily.C．The cyclists’ muscles remained strong with age.D．The non-exercisers usually had health problems.14．Which is an unexpected result for the researchers?A．The cyclists had normal aging process.B．The cyclists’ immune systems didn’t age.C．The cyclists lost nearly all their fat.D．Everyone needed an exercise in their lives.15．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A．Healthy People Need More ExerciseB．Take an Exercise, the Harder, the BetterC．Cycling Is the Best Way to Prevent AgingD．A Lifetime of Exercise Slows Aging Process二、七选五Tips for Upcoming Senior TwoPeople often describe Senior Two as a year with “much more homework, more frequent exams and more fierce competitions”. ___16___1.
