I usually get up early and go to work at 8 o‘clock.. I have lunch in the office. And I come back home at six. As a secretary, I deal with phone calls, emails and faxes during work hours. I also do the paper work for the manager. After work, I like to do shopping with friends or watch TV at home. Sometimes, I also like to chat on the Internet. Best regards, Michelle 2、(1) 童年梦想(2)目前的情况(3)对未来的希望 Sample 1st August 2005 Dear Jennifer: Thank you for telling me about yourself. I‘d like to let you know more about me too. As a child, I wanted to be a detective. I thought a detective was really great because he could solve criminal cases to do justice. But my dream never came true, I‘m now a librarian, dealing with books every day. The work is nothing thrilling, but I like it. Since there are more and more electronic materials, I hope that we will have an e-library built soon. Looking forward to hearing from you again. Best wishes, Ian 3、(1)事件发生的时间和地点(2)人物(3)事件的经过 Sample One day last week, a girl parked her car outside a fashion house. As soon as she was inside, two men opened the car door, started the engine and drove away in just one minute. When the girl recovered from the shock, she called 110. Luckily, there was a police patrol car nearby. So the girl got in the police car and they drove in the direction where the thieves escaped. Twenty minutes later, they found the car waiting at a busy crossroad for the traffic lights to turn green. Needless to say, the car thieves were caught red-handed. 4、(1)自主(autonomous)学习与远程教育(2)自主学习与合作(collaborative) 学习(3)你自己的学习情况 Sample Autonomous learning is an important learning style in distance education. It is an essential skill for distance learners because they study alone most of the time. They do not meet their tutors or classmates very. However, distance learners can learn a lot from each other. So autonomous learning and collaborative learning go hand in hand. I am a distance learner. I have to do most learning tasks by myself. Meanwhile we have group activities every two weeks to complete some learning tasks or share experiences. I have found both forms of learning very helpful. 5、(1)有一种观点认 为:城市生活比乡村生活好(2)你对这种观点的看法(3)你的结论 Sample Some people believe that town life is better than country life. I don‘t agree with this. Town life can be convenient to us in many aspects. For example, you can move around easily, shopping can be more fun in a big shopping mail and you can enjoy a more colorful nightlife. But there are also many disadvantages. It is mush nosier than in the country. Air pollution is more serious. It is not easy to park your car. It costs more to live in town. To name but a few is enough. Therefore, I prefer country life. 6、(1)保持身体健康的重要 性(2)保持身体健康的方法(3)重申保持身体健康的意义 Sample Nowadays, more and more people know the importance of keeping healthy. Without a healthy body, we can do nothing. For me, there are main ways to keep healthy. Fist, it is necessary to keep a balanced diet, which is the basis of good health. Is is important to take regular exercises, such as swimming, jogging and so on. Last but not least, it is essential to keep in a good mood. Relaxation and entertainment are ways to renew our spirits and release our stress. When we make healthy habits a part of our everyday life, we are bound to keep healthy. 7、(1)哪一种是你最喜欢的交通方式(2)阐述你的理由(3)作出结论 In a modern city, there are many means of transportation, such as subway, taxi, bus and so on.. But my favorite means of transportation is by bike. Fist, riding a bike is good for keeping healthy. I spend one hour riding a bike to my office on my working day, and I think it is a good form of physical exercise. Secondly, it is money-saving. Recently, the private car drivers always complain the price of gas is higher and higher, but if you ride a bike, it will cost you nothing. Thirdly, it is beneficial for protecting the environment, so it is a ,green‖ form of transportation. Therefore, although it has some disadvantages, I like riding a bike best. 8、(1)描述 你家的位置(2)各个房间的功能(3)表达你对你家居条件的态度 My home is a newly-built house in the north of the city. We have three rooms in addition to the kitchen and bathroom. The fist room is the main room or living room. It is for having meals, relaxing, reading, watching television and so on. It is the busiest room in the house. The second room is my daughter‘s bedroom. She sleeps and dresses there. The third room belongs to my wife and me. It seems quite spacious because we have little furniture. We sleep, lessons and generally relax there. I think my home is cozy and I like my home. 9、(1)你最喜欢的电视节目是什么(2)你 喜欢它的理由(3)作出结论 CCTV today offers a great variety of programmes to meet different needs and tastes. For example, the weather forecast, serials, films, sports and so on. My favorite TV programme, however, is the news. There are several points that are worth mentioning. For one thing, it covers news about important events both at home and abroad. Besides, the news it provides is timely and reliable. Finally, it broadcasts in the evening during the so-called ,golden time‖. It saves me much time reading through newspapers for current affairs. In short, watching the news on CCTV has become part of my daily life. 10、(1)你理想 的工作是什么样(2)你的理由(3) 如何实现你的理想 Everybody has his dream his career in the future. He or she might want to be a teacher, a doctor, a scientist, a sportsperson and so on. To tell you the truth, my ideal job is in business. The idea came into being when I was a child. With the development of market economy, there are many prosperous opportunities in business, I like reading stories about some successful businessmen such as Bill Gates, Li Jiacheng, etc. I believe I will be a man like them some day. Now, I am majoring in Computering. I must study hard to get myself qualified for my future job. 11、假设你市王华，想去北京21ST报社应聘，感激想一封应聘信，包括 出生日期，个人简介等(形成性考核1) Dear Sirs, My name is Wuhua, born on July 6th, 1965 inChangchun, Jilin Province, China.

I was walking in the park with a friend recently, and his mobile phone rang, interrupting our conversation. There we were, walking and talking on a beautiful sunny day and – poof! – I was cut off as if I had become absent from the conversation. The park was filled with people talking on their cell phones. They were passing people without looking at them, saying hello, noticing their babies or stopping to pat their dogs. It seems that the limitless electronic voice is preferred to human contact. The telephone used to connect you to the absent. Now it makes people feel absent. Recently I was in a car with three friends. The driver hushed the rest of us because he could not hear the person on the other end of his cell phone. There we were, four friends driving down the highway, unable to talk to each other because of the small thing designed to make communication easier. Why is it that the more connected we get, the more disconnected I feel? Every advance in communications technology is a setback (退步) to the closeness of human interaction. With e-mail and instant message over the Internet, we can now communicate without seeing or talking to one another. With voice mail, you can make entire conversations without ever reaching anyone. If my mom has a question, I just leave the answer on her machine. As almost every contact between human beings gets B. With voice mail, you can make entire conversations without ever reaching anyone. C. All of the above. 5. What is the unintended result of communication technology, according to the author? B A. It makes communication easier and conversation possible everywhere. B. It actually creates a distance between people instead automatic, the emotional distance index goes up. Pumping gas at the station? Why say good-morning to the assistant when you can swipe you credit card at the pump and save yourself the bother of human contact? Making a deposit at the bank? Why talk to the clerk who lives in the neighborhood when you can put your card into the ATM? More and more, I find myself hiding behind e-mail to do a job meant for conversation or being relieved that voice mail picked up because I didn’t really have time to talk. The technology devoted to helping me keep in touch is making me lonelier. I own a mobile phone, an ATM card, a voice-mail telephone, and an e-mail account. Giving them up isn’t a choice. They are great for what they are intended to do. It’s their unintended results that make me upset. What good is all this gee-whiz technology if there is no one in the room to hear you crying out ―Gee whiz‖? 1. The author’s experience of walking in a park with a friend recently made him feel _______A_____. A. unhappy B. funny C. wonderful 2. According to the author, human contact in a park means _____C______. A. looking at each other and saying hello when passing B. noticing their babies and stopping to pat their dogs C. both A and B 3. According to the author, the more connected we get in communications technology, the _____B_____ we are. A. more automatic B. more disconnected C. closer 4. What are the examples the author gives to explain his idea that every advance in communications technology is a setback to the closeness of human interaction? C A. With e-mail and instant message over the Internet, we can now communicate without seeing or talking to one another. of bringing them together. C. It makes human contacts limitless with electronic voices everywhere 短文理解2 Some people think they have an answer to the troubles of automobile crowding and dirty air in large cities. Their answer is the bicycle, or ―bike‖. In a great many cities, hundreds of people ride bicycles to work every day. In New York City, some bike riders have even formed a group called Bike for a Better City. They claim that if more people rode bicycles to work there would be fewer automobiles in the downtown section of the city and therefore less dirty air from car engines. For several years this group has been trying to get the city government to help bike riders. For example, they want the city to draw bicycle lanes on some of the main streets, because when bike riders have to use the same lanes as cars, there are accidents. Bike for a Better City feels that if there were special lanes more people would use bikes. But no bicycle lanes have been drawn. Not everyone thinks it is a good idea - they say it will slow traffic. Some store owners on the main streets say that if there is less traffic, they will have less business. And most people live too far from downtown to travel by bike. The city government has not yet decided what to do. It wants to keep everyone happy. Only on weekends, Central Park is closed to cars, and the roads may be used by bicycles only. But Bike for a Better City says that this is not enough and keeps fighting to get bicycle lanes downtown. 1. According to the passage, bicycles _____C______. A. are more convenient than cars B. are safer traffic tools than cars C. are the solution to some city problems 2. The idea of special bicycle lanes is most favored by _____B______. A. the city government B.some bike riders C.some store owners 3. ―Bicycle lanes‖ in the third paragraph probably means _____C______. A. roads for bicycles only B. roads full of bicycles C. special parts of the road for bicycle riders 300 miles away. Once a year, he collects mum and takes her to stay with him in London for a week.

Certainly, London is the most culturally diverse city in the world. The city was founded by the Romans and since then new arrivals have constantly added to its character and prosperity. Within 10 years 40% of Londoners will be from ethnic minority groups, including the growing number of Londoners of mixed ethnic origin, but most of them will have been born in Britain. Children of Caribbean-Chinese marriages will go to school with children of Russian-Irish couples. None of them will be English but all of them will be Londoners. Most of Britain‘s ethnic minority residents live in the capital, speaking over 300 languages. Nearly all of the African population and many of the Caribbean population of Britain live in London (83% and 58% respectively); 39% of the Chinese population of Britain and 36% of the Asian population of Britain live in London. The largest migrant community is from the Irish Republic with 256,000 people, 3.8% of the total population of London. There are an estimated 330,000 refugees and asylum seekers living in London, with most recent arrivals coming from Eastern Europe, North Africa and Kurdistan. Young people, in particular, are skilled at dealing with a large number of different and hybrid cultures. They themselves often have several different ethnic identities since their parents and grandparents may come from several different backgrounds and their friends and partners do also. They are ,skilled cross-cultural travelers‖ without leaving their home-town. 1(Why does the writer think that Benjamin Disraeli‘s statement is an understatement?

As a child she had trained as a ballet dancer, but at 15 she had grown too tall for classical ballet, so she became a member of a pop dance team. She got married, and after she had children she retired from show business to bring them up. They grew up, and when they were 18 they left home. She says, "When I decided to do the round-the-world race, my husband thought I was bored because the children had left home. He was also worried because I had never sailed before. I was not bored, but I had met some people who told me about the race. They had taken part in it, but they had only done one section, say, from New Zealand to Australia. I wanted to do the whole ten-month journey. " Before Molly left she did a lot of training, but it hadn‘ t prepared her for the worst weather which they experienced. She tells one story. "One night the sea was very rough and it was very cold. I had gone downstairs when a huge wave smashed into the boat and injured two men on the deck. One of the men couldn‘t move because he had broken his leg. They were taken to hospital by helicopter. That was the worst time. " By the end of October last year, she had raised more than #50,000 for charity. She says, "Sometimes I ask myself, what did I do? How did I do it? But then I think, it‘s the same as being a dancer. Before I left on the trip, I had trained hard. I had got very fit and had prepared myself completely. Then on the trip I was simply a good team member. " 26.

Pollution is caused either by man‘s release of completely new and often artificial substances into the environment, or by releasing greatly increased amounts of a natural substance, such as oil from oil tankers into the sea. Whatever its underlying reasons, there is no doubt that much of the pollution caused could be controlled if only companies, individuals and governments would make more efforts. In the home there is an obvious need to control litter and waste. Food comes wrapped up three of four times in packages that all have to be disposed of; drinks are increasingly sold in bottles or tins which can‘t be reused. This not only causes a litter problem, but also is a great waste of resources, in terms of glass, metal and paper. Advertising has helped this process by persuading many of us not only to buy things we neither want nor need, but also to throw away much of what we do buy. Pollution and waste combine to be a problem everyone can help to solve by cutting out unnecessary buying, excess use and careless disposal of the products we use in our daily lives. 31. The main cause of pollution is_____A_____. A. the release of artificial or natural substances into the environment B. the production of new industrial goods C. increased amounts of a natural substance D. our ever-increasing population 32. Much of the pollution could be controlled if only_____C_____. A. people would pay more attention to the problem B. governments would take effective measures C. all sides concerned would make more efforts D. farmers would use less artificial fertilizers 33. Food packages, bottles and tins for drinks can cause____B_____. A. air and water pollution B. both a litter problem and a waster of resources C. to pay for the service D. to produce the receipt 34. Which of the following can not help solving the problem of pollution? B A. Cutting out unnecessary buying. B. Eating. C. Reduce excess use. D. Carefully dispose our daily products. 35. What does the underlined word "litter" mean in paragraph 2? C A. not many B. serious problem C. bits of waste things D. industrial pollution 短文理解3 Benjamin Disraeli, the famous nineteenth century prime minister, said, "London is not a city, it is a nation." Today this is an understatement; London, with its vast range of different ethnic groups, is a world. Certainly, London is the most culturally diverse city in the world. The city was founded by the Romans and since then new arrivals have constantly added to its character and prosperity. Within 10 years 40% of Londoners will be from ethnic minority groups, including the growing number of Londoners of mixed ethnic origin, but most of them will have been born in Britain. Children of Caribbean-Chinese marriages will go to school with children of Russian-Irish couples. None of them will be English, but all of them will be Londoners. Most of Britain‘s ethnic minority residents live in the capital, speaking over 300 languages. Nearly all of the African population and many of the Caribbean population of Britain live in London (83% and 58% respectively); 39% of the Chinese population of Britain and 36% of the Asian population of Britain live in London. The largest migrant community is from the Irish Republic with 256,000 people, 3.8 % of the total population of London. There are an estimated 330, 000 refugees and asylum seekers living in London, with most recent arrivals coming from Eastern Europe, North Africa and Kurdistan. Young people, in particular, are skilled at dealing with a large number of different and hybrid cultures. They themselves often have several different ethnic identities since their parents and grandparents may come from several different backgrounds, and their friends and partners do also. They are "skilled cross-cultural travelers" without leaving their home-town. 36. London is a nation. F 37. The city of London was founded by the Romans. T 38. All African population live in London. F 39. 39% of the total population of London are Chinese. F 40. Old people are also "skilled cross-cultural travelers". NG 第五部分 书面表达 41. Directions: For this part, you are allowed thirty minutes to write a passage to state your views on the topic My favorite means of transportation. You should write at least 80 words and base your writing on the Chinese outline below: 1) 哪一种是你最喜欢的交通方式, 2) 阐述你的理由。 3) 作出结论。 In a modern city, there are many means of transportation, such as subway, taxi, bus and so on. But my favorite means of transportation is by bike. First, riding a bike is good for keeping healthy. I spend one hour riding a bike to my office on my working day, and I think it is a good form of physical exercise. Secondly, it is money-saving. Recently, the private car drivers always complain the price of gas is higher and higher, but if you ride a bike, it will cost you nothing. Thirdly, it is beneficial for protecting the environment, so it is a "green" form of transportation. Therefore, although it has some disadvantages, I like riding a bike best. 第一部分交际用语(共计10分，每小题2分) 阅读下面的小对话，从A,B,C,D四个选项中选出一个能填入空白处的最佳选 项(并在答题纸上写出所选的字母符号。’ 1(一How‘s the movie?

Their answer is the bicycle，or "bike". In a great many cities，hundreds of people ride bicycles to work every day. In New York City, some bike riders have even formed a group called Bike for a Better City. They claim that if more people rode bicycles to work there would be fewer automobiles in the downtown section of the city and therefore less dirty air from car engines. ?For several years this group has been trying to get the city government to help bike riders. For example, they want the city to draw bicycle lanes on some of the main street because when bike riders have to use the same lanes as cars，there are accidents. Bike for a Better City feels that if there were special lanes more people would use bikes. But no bicycle lanes have been drawn. Not everyone thinks it is a good idea-they say it will slow traffic. Some store owners on the main streets say that if there is less traffic, they will have less business. And most people live too far from downtown to travel by bike. The city government has not yet decided what to do. It wants to keep everyone happy. Only on weekends，Central Park is closed to cars, and the roads may be used by bicycles only. But Bike for a Better City says that this is not enough and keeps fighting to get bicycle lanes downtown. 26. According to the passage，bicycles_____D_____ ( A. are more convenient than cars B. are safer traffic tools than cars C. are ridden by most people in the U.

Preparing for the Olympics Games is a huge undertaking. Just like the athletes，the host city spends years getting ready for the event. Before deciding which city will host the，Olympic Games，the International Olympic Committee(IOC) has to examine bids from all over the world. Bidding for the games begins about ten years in advance. Without preparing a very strong bid, a city will not win the competition to host the games. Beijing was chosen for the 2008 games from five bidders一Osaka，Paris， Toronto and Istanbul. Why does it take so long to prepare? Building the infrastructure costs huge amounts of money. Holding the World Cup in 2002 in Japan and South Korea，for example，meant that ten new stadiums had to be built，as well as many hotels and an improved transport system. In Beijing, after winning the bid the government began major construction projects-the extension of the underground, the improvement of the airport and the building of new motorways. Each host city must also build an Olympic village for the athletes. By planting trees and creating parks，the city becomes more attractive for tourists. Why do countries want to host the Olympic Games? Hosting the games has a major effect on the economy and brings international prestige to the country. Thousands and thousands of visitors come to the games and the host cities are permanently improved. 31. Bidding for the Olympic Games usually starts ____D____ before the games are really held.

There are quite a large number of lone parent families, 90 per cent of these are headed by a woman rather than a man.

Pollution is caused either by man‘s release of completely new and often artificial (人造的) substances into the environment, or by releasing greatly increased amounts of a natural substance (物质)，such as oil from oil tankers into the sea. Whatever its underlying reasons, there is no doubt that much of the pollution caused could be controlled if only companies, individuals and governments would make more efforts. In the home there is an obvious need to control litter and waste. Food comes wrapped up three of four times in packages that all have to be disposed of; drinks are increasingly sold in bottles or tins which can‘t be reused. This not only causes a litter problem, but also is a great waste of resources, in terms of glass, metal and paper. Advertising has helped this process by persuading many of us not only to buy things we neither want nor need, but also to throw away much of what we do buy. Pollution and waste combine to be a problem everyone can help to solve by cutting out unnecessary buying, excess use and careless disposal (处理) of the products we use in our daily lives. 1. The main cause of pollution is _____A____. A. the release of artificial or natural substances into the environment B. the production of new industrial goods C. increased amounts of a natural substance 2. Much of the pollution could be controlled if only _____C____. B. governments would take effective measures C. all sides concerned would make more efforts 3. Food packages, bottles and tins for drinks can cause ____B_____. A. air and water pollution B. both a litter problem and a waster of resources C. to pay for the service 4. Which of the following can not help solving the problem of pollution?C A. Cutting out unnecessary buying. B. Reduce excess use C. Eating. 5. What does the underlined word ,litter‖ mean in paragraph 2?C A. Bits of waste things B. serious problem C. industrial pollution 阅读下列短文，并根据短文判断其后的句子是否正确(T)、错误(F)，还 是文字中没有涉及相关信息(NG)。 短文理解3 The ancient Olympic Games were part of a religious festival in honour of the Greek god Zeus, the father of all Greek gods and goddesses. The festival and games were held in Olympia, a religious sanctuary. The athletes came to Olympia from all parts of the Greek world, from as far as Spain in the west and Turkey in the east. The ancient Olympic Games began in the year 776 BC when Koroibos, a cook from the city of Elis, won a 200-metre-long race. They took place for a period of 617 years until the last games were held in AD 393. In the ancient games, athletes received prizes worth large amounts of money. In fact the word , athlete ‖ is an ancient Greek word, meaning , one who competes for a prize ‖. Although women did not compete in the games, there was a separate festival held at the same time in honour of Hera, wife of Zeus. At this festival unmarried girls competed in foot races. The marathon was not an event of the ancient Olympic Games. The marathon is a modern event that was first introduced in the Olympic Games in 1896. It was named after a village called Marathon where the Persians were defeated by a small Greek army. The news of the victory was brought to Athens by soldier, who ran the 26 miles from the village of Marathon to the capital. 26 miles was therefore adopted as the distance of the modern marathon race. The Olympic flag was introduced in 1908 and carries the symbol of five linked rings. Which represent the five continents – Africa, America, Asia, Australasia and Europe. The Olympic flame was first carried in the 1932 Olympic Games in Los Angeles. There was no torch relay in the ancient Olympic Games.

At that time, I found myself was a kind of person who always wants to change and was not satisfied with the current situation. To some extent, I am a person full of ambition. I had taught there for 7 years, I felt I could not use my knowledge to teach in the class. If I kept doing this, I would have finished my whole life without There are some advantages for the people living in a big city. First,the people who live in a big city can enjoy the the miracles of the latest technology of the human being. Most cities have some facilities of popular science .People can go there and understand science knowledge. Second,the big city can provide many conveniences in transportation and traveling for the people who live in the big city.For example,they can travel with the magnetic suspension train whose maximum speed can attain 400 km per hour. They can take the subway to work every day. Another advantage that city people can enjoy is that they can live more convenient and entertaining. There are a lot of supermarkets in achieving anything. What would be a terrible thing like this! I found a chance to be interpreter in a team, and found my new interest. Hence, there are two examination preparation jobs waiting for me again----TOFEL and GRE. I knew at that time the situation should be most difficult than that I had before. I need worked on daytime, and prepared them at night, I was not younger than 10 years ago. But I had set the goal, I need go study abroad in the US, even though there were more than one year hard work ahead. Finally, I went through all the examination, and the God of luck stood with me again, I was accepte! My life changed to another direction in January 2009, I started my life in a total different world. Now, I am still changing. I gradually know the culture, life, people, customers here, I come to get used of the life here, I turn to love the country. What will I change to? Who knows? However, I think the changing tendency will go to the right direction, my life and my future will get better and better. Through the call I got from my father, my hometown is changing rapidly, the village is filling the shrimp pond, and building factory and attracting the investment. It seems like people will live better life in the future. Change can make thing possible, hanging back in the face of fear is nothing. 2、My TV university life (我的电大生活) I am engaged in long distance education. My web-based courses are English, Chinese, Computer, Maths, Politics, etc. I like English best. We can join online discussion forums, but it‘s very difficult for me to understand what the speaker says. Every day we complete our home work on the computer and send our homework to the tutor, though sometimes he or she is not online. He or she will solve the difficulties and puzzles in tutorial. I love my TV University life. 3、Living in a big city (生活在大城市) the city.When you need something,you could just go and buy them in supermarkets. As for cultural recreations there are many cinemas and concerts halls in the big city. However living in a big city has some disadvantages. Polution and noises,mostly from factories and cars,severely affect people‘s health. As hundreds of people rush into big cities,the population of cities has rapidly mounted,which results in crowed buses,a lot of traffic jams,many traffic accidents and poor housing conditions. Frequent traffic accidents threaten people‘s lifes. People may have many opinions about living in a big city.Some would think city life is too boisterous and roaring,whereas others may enjoy it. It all depends one‘s personal point of view and experiences. As for me,I was born in the big city,and I am used to everything here. So I will choose city life. 4、How to keep healthy (如何保持身体健康) How to Keep Healthy First, it is absolutely necessary to take some exercise every day. Research shows that getting plenty of exercise make the heart beat faster and the lungs work harder. This strengthens the heart, reduces the chance of heart attack, and helps lower blood pressure. That‘s why more and more people are becoming active in various kinds of sports and exercises. Every morning many people get up early and take much exercise. Some practice shadowboxing and swordplay while others run, jog, walk or dance to music. In the afternoon,there are also many people keen on sports. Some play basketball or volleyball or table tennis, others go in for gymnastics or track events. Through sports and exercise, people become healthier and stronger. If people follow these three ways of keeping fit, they greatly improve their health 5、 My ideal job (我理想的工作) 37 My ideal job I have been dreamed to be a teacher since I was a kid. Everyday when I arrived at school, my lovely teacher would give me a warm hug with a big shining smile. It made me felt like a flower which had been taken good care by the gardener and I felt comfortable. Not only me, but also the other kids had the same feeling, and this feeling helped us grow happy and healthy. So I thought, teacher was such a job that full of significance. I do should be a teacher. I have studied so hard since then, and I believe the solid basis of the job is build on it. I will stick to my faith and work even harder. I believe my dream will come ture sooner or later. 增加2010年考试最新资料 I(交际用语 1.I think the Internet is very helpful.— A. Yes, so do I . 2.I have an appointment with Dr. Johnson.— C.

III(完型填空 完型填空1 More and more people (31) _have___ to install burglar alarms in their houses if they want to get insurance. Insurance companies (32) have been asking people in certain areas to install the alarms before they will give them insurance for the fast year. This is (33) _due___ to increasing crime in some parts of the country. This can be a problem for people (34) who are struggling to make (35) –-不要填ends meet. The alarms, (36) which can be very expensive, need to be installed by an electrician. It is (37) estimated that 20% of homes have alarms installed, and that another 20% of people plan (38) to have them installed but have not installed them (39) yet. The insurance companies told people (40) to install the alarms on all doors and windows. that many used cars have been traded. The country‘s 35 million motorcycles and scooters make it the world‘s largest two-wheel market. But because there are still big differences (32)___in___ people‘s incomes, the roads are full of a whole variety of (33) vehicles , lots of them not motorised. A ride (34) with a taxi driver in New Delhi gives a flavour of a typical Indian-style traffic with all kinds of vehicle held up in city streets or in long lines (35) on narrow country lanes. Cars, lorries and buses back up behind a cart (36) pulled by one animal or another. "India has everything on the roads," the taxi driver says. "You have to (37) watch out for pedestrians, bicycles, carts, cows, donkeys and even elephants. Three things (38) are recommended to drive here, a horn, brakes and good luck." Just then we were stopped (39) by a young boy and his cow. Given the hazards, it‘s not surprising (40) that special ceremonies are held for new car owners in which the steering wheel and the driver are both blessed. 完型填空3 Most workers spend eight hours on the job a day on (31) workdays. They work because they need money for necessities. They spend about one third of their lives at work, but hate it. By contrast, some people actually (32) enjoy work. They spend (33) extra hours on the job each week and often take work home with them. They are called ,workaholics(工作狂)‖ as they are addicted to their job as other people are (34 ) to alcohol. Workaholics would (35) rather work than do anything else and this can be most important to their life. Workaholics are often (36) under stress. They can‘t relax and feel tense. (37) As a result they may easily lose temper. Their work therefore has serious impact on their relationships and family life. Typical workaholics pay little attention to families. They spend (38) little time with their children and their marriages may (39) end in divorce. Their inability to relax may cause (40) health problems, such as high blood pressure. 完型填空4 There are advantages and disadvantages to (31) both Asian and Western 40 educational methods.

They also study more hours each day than Americans(34) do . The study is difficult,but it (35) prepares students for a society that values discipline and self-control. There is, however, a disadvantage. Memorization is an important learning method in Japanese schools, (36) yet many students say that after an exam, they forget much of the information that they have memorized. The advantage to the education in North America, (37) on the other hand, is that students learn to think by themselves. The system prepares them for a society that values (38) new 完型填空7 Although international travel is usually an (21) B) exciting and pleasant experience, travellers should take steps to ensure that their health does not suffer either (22) D) from…in…from their time _____ the air or ______ their time abroad.

The captain of the submarine, called Captain Nemo, and his men have many strange adventures and find many strange things (18) at the bottom of the ocean. He was a very good (19) story-teller B. sailor. His characters often did surprising and sometimes impossible things, but they always seemed (20) to be real people. In another book, ,Around the World in Eighty Days‖, Jules Verne creates Mr. Fogg, the hero, (21)who made a bet that he would travel around the world in eighty days. Nowadays this may seem (22) easy to you, but in those days there were no planes or even cars. Mr. Fogg and his servant traveled in many different (23) ways , even on an elephant at one time! If you want to know their result, you should read the book. In all his books Jules Verne used his scientific knowledge (24) as well as his imagination in describing future inventions. (25) Sometimes he was wrong, of course, but often the accuracy of his descriptions is very clever. 完型填空6 Peter Blake is a successful businessman, but he (16)used to be very poor.

At first he worked on his (22) own, but soon he took (23) on_ two people to help him. The company has been growing (24) ---不要填for the last ten years.

The study found that the least fit of the 6,000 middle-aged men in the study were five times (25) D) more likely to die within six years of the start of the research than the fittest.

Dr Ken Cooper, a fitness expert, said, "You are better off smoking a packet of cigarettes a day and (27) B) exercising regularly than being a non-smoker and sedentary." Although he adds, " But don‘t misunderstand me. I am not endorsing smoking. I am trying to tell you how dangerous it is to be sedentary." (28) A) However , the study appears to fly in the face of research last year 41 which concluded that more than 30,000 people die prematurely every year in Britain from illnesses caused by being overweight. The British Government is putting pressure on manufacturers (29) C) to reduce high levels of sugar in food and to restrict the hard-sell of junk food to children in order to improve the nation‘s health.

The festival and games were held in Olympia, a religious Sanctuary. In the ancient games, athletes received prizes worth large amounts o{ money. In fact theword "athlete" is tm ancient Greek word, meaning "one who competes for a prize". The marathon was not an event of the ancient Olympic Games. The marathon is amodern event that was first introduced in the Olympic Games in 1896. It was named after avillage called Marathon where the Persians were defeated by a small Greek army. The news of the victory was brought to Athens by a soldier, who ran the 26 miles from the village ofMarathon to the capital. 26 miles was therefore adopted as the distance of the modernmarathon race. IV(阅读理解 阅读理解1 Once the king of India fell ill and sent for his doctor. The doctor came, examined him and said, ,You will be well again in a few days if you take bull‘s milk.‖ The king was very surprised, for he had never heard of a bull that gave milk. ,How is it possible?‖ he asked. ,Order Gulbo, the scholar, to get it for you. He can do anything.‖ The doctor was an enemy to Gulbo, and thought this would be a way of making him suffer. When the king told Gulbo what the doctor had said and ordered him to get bull‘s milk, Gulbo immediately understood what the doctor was trying to do. When he got home he sat thinking how to get out of the difficulties. His daughter, seeing him worried, asked what was the matter. On hearing what the king had asked for, she said, ,Don‘t worry, father, I‘ll help you.‖ The next day she took some old clothes, went to the bank of the river near the palace, and chose a place below the king‘s bedroom window. In the middle of the night, when everyone was in bed, she started to do her washing. She made so much noise that the king could not sleep. The king got very angry and set a guard to find out what was the matter. The soldier found the girl, and led her to the king. ,Why do you wash your clothes here at night?‖ asked the king. The girl pretended to be afraid and said, ,I had to wash clothes at night. This afternoon my father had a baby. I was busy all day because of that. Then I found there were no clean clothes for the baby, so I had to come and wash them now.‖ ,What!‖ cried the king, ,Are you trying to make a fool of me? 43 Who ever heard of a man having a baby?‖ ,Well, if the king himself orders someone to get bull‘s milk for him, why can‘t a man have a baby?‖ The king smiled and said, ,You must be Gulbo‘s daughter. Go and tell your father that he may keep the bull‘s milk for his baby.‖ 1. According to the doctor in the story, the king‘s illness can be cured by ______. B. drinking bull‘s milk 2. The doctor told the king to ask Gulbo to find bull‘s milk because he ______. B. hated Gulbo very much 3. How did Gulbo feel after getting the king‘s order? A. He was upset. 4.

From the dialogue between the king and the girl, we know that after hearing the girl‘s story, the king ______.D.understood the girl‘s meaning 阅读理解2 People all over the world today are beginning to hear and learn more and more about the problem of pollution. Pollution is caused either by man‘s release of completely new and often artificial (人造的) substances into the environment, or by releasing greatly increased amounts of a natural substance (物质)，such as oil from oil tankers into the sea. Whatever its underlying reasons, there is no doubt that much of the pollution caused could be controlled if only companies, individuals and governments would make more efforts. In the home there is an obvious need to control litter and waste. Food comes wrapped up three of four times in packages that all have to be disposed of; drinks are increasingly sold in bottles or tins which can‘t be reused. This not only causes a litter problem, but also is a great waste of resources, in terms of glass, metal and paper. Advertising has helped this process by persuading many of us not only to buy things we neither want nor need, but also to throw away much of what we do buy. Pollution and waste combine to be a problem everyone can help to solve by cutting out unnecessary buying, excess use and careless disposal (处理) of the products we use in our daily lives. 1. The main cause of pollution is _A .the release of artificial or natural substances into the environment 2. Much of the pollution could be controlled if only C. all sides concerned would make more efforts 3. Food packages, bottles and tins for drinks can cause B. both a 4. Which of the following can not help solving the problem of pollution? B. Eating. 5. What does the underlined word ,litter‖ mean in paragraph 2? C. bits of waste things 44 阅读理解3 Thousands of years ago, in the middle of an ocean, miles from the nearest island, an undersea volcano broke out. The hot liquid piled higher and higher and spread wider and wider. In this way, an island rose up in the sea. As time went on, hot sun and cool rains made the rock split and break to pieces. Sea waves dashed against the rock. In this way, soil and sand came into being. Nothing lived on the naked soil. And then the wind and birds brought plant seeds, spiders and other little creatures there. Only plants could grow first. Only they, in sunlight, could produce food from the minerals of the soil, water and air. While many animals landed on the island, they could find no food. A spider spun its web in vain, because there were no insects for its web to catch. Insects couldn‘t stay until there were plants for them to eat. So plants had to be the pioneer life on this new island. 1. The passage centers on ________. D. how life began on a volcano-produced island 2.According to the passage, the island got its first soil from_________ C. its own rock 3.The word ,naked‖ (in para. 3) could be replaced by which of the following? D. bare 4.The order of coming into being on the island is __________. A. soil, plants and animals 5. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE ? C. Insects could not live on the island without plants. 阅读理解4In the last 500 years, nothing about people – not their clothes, ideas, or languages – has changed as much as what they eat. The original chocolate drink was made from the seeds of the cocoa tree by South American Indians. The Spanish introduced it to the rest of the world during the 1500‘s. And although it was very expensive, it quickly became fashionable. In London shops where chocolate drinks were served became important meeting places. Some still exist today. The potato is also from the New World. Around 1600, the Spanish brought it from Peru to Europe, where it soon was widely grown. Ireland became so dependent on it that thousands of Irish people starved when the crop failed during the,Potato Famine‖of 1845-6, and thousands more were forced to emigrate to America. There are many other foods that have traveled from South America to the Old World. But some others went in the opposite direction. Brazil is now the World‘s largest grower of coffee, and coffee is an important crop in Colombia and other South American countries. But it is native to Ethiopia. It was first made into a drink by Arabs during the 1400‘s. According to an Arabic legend, coffee was discovered when a goatherd name Kaldi noticed that his goats were attracted to the red berries on a coffee bush. He tried one and experienced the ,wide-awake‖ feeling that one-third of the world‘s population now starts the day with. 1.

I was not bored, but I had met some people who told me about the race. They had taken part in it, but they had only done one section, say, from New Zealand to Australia. I wanted to do the whole ten-month journey.‖ Before Molly left she did a lot of training, but it hadn‘t prepared her for the worst weather which they experienced. She tells one story. ,One night the sea was very rough and it was very cold. I had gone downstairs when a huge wave smashed into the boat and injured two men on the deck.

As a child she had trained as a ballet dancer, but at 15 she had grown too tall for classical ballet, so she became a member of a pop dance team. She got married, and after she had children she retired from show business to bring them up. They grew up, and when they were 18 they left home. She says, ,When I decided to do the round-the-world race, my husband thought I was bored because the children had left home. end of October last year, she had raised more than ?50,000 for charity. She says, ,Sometimes I ask myself, what did I do? How did I do it? But then I think, it‘s the same as being a dancer. Before I left on the trip, I had trained hard. I had got very fit and had prepared myself completely. Then on the trip I was simply a good team member.‖ 1. What does the word ,extraordinary‖ mean in the title? B. very unusual and surprising 2. The sentence ,…my husband thought I was bored …‖ in Para. 4 meant that my husband thought I felt A. dissatisfied because I had nothing better to do at home 3.

Which of the following is nearest (closest) in meaning to ,rough‖ in the sentence ,One night the sea was very rough …‖in Para. 5? C. not smooth because of huge waves 5. The last paragraph suggests that __A. the qualities she needed for the trip were the same as those for a dancer 阅读理解7 There have been changes in all sorts of different areas of British society. In recent years in the UK we have had a very large increase in the number of couples who get divorced. After 1969 and the Divorce Law Reform Act we had a very rapid increase in the number of divorces. The rate increased steadily and in recent years has increased much more rapidly. But there are also quite a lot of people who do actually get married. At present the marriage rate in the UK is about 70 per cent, which has gone down since the number of people who marry has gone down quite a lot in the last 20 years, but more significantly in the last 10 years. Quite high proportions of people now live together without marrying, and, for example, 40 per cent of children born in the UK are born to couples who aren‘t married or are born to lone parents. There are quite a large number of lone parent families, 90 per cent of these are headed by a woman rather than a man. The average family size now in the UK is 1.8 children per couple, which means that there‘s been quite a decline in the birth rate in the 46 UK along with other European countries. 1. What does the passage mainly discuss? C. The increasing divorce rate in the UK. 2. During the last ten years,A. the marriage rate has gone down more rapidly in the UK 3. According to the passage, the cohabitation rate in the UK tends to B. soar 4. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true? A. The highest divorce rate was around 1969. 5. The last paragraph tells us D. the birth rate in the UK is decreasing Bike for a Better City says that this is not enough and keeps fighting to get bicycle lanes downtown. 1. According to the passage, bicycles _D.are the solution to some city problems 2. The idea of special bicycle lanes is most favored by_B. some bike riders 3. ,Bicycle lanes‖ in the third paragraph probably means __C. special parts of the road for bicycle riders only 4. Which of the following is not true according to the passage? D. In New York City, many people use bikes as they rapidly now 阅读理解8 Some people think they have an answer to the troubles of automobile crowding and dirty air in large cities. Their answer is the bicycle, or ,bike‖. In a great many cities, hundreds of people ride bicycles to work every day. In New York City, some bike riders have even formed a group called Bike for a Better City. They claim that if more people rode bicycles to work there would be fewer automobiles in the downtown section of the city and therefore less dirty air from car engines. For several years this group has been trying to get the city government to help bike riders. For example, they want the city to draw bicycle lanes on some of the main streets, because when bike riders have to use the same lanes as cars, there are accidents. Bike for a Better City feels that if there were special lanes more people would use bikes. But no bicycle lanes have been drawn. Not everyone thinks it is a good idea - they say it will slow traffic. Some store owners on the main streets say that if there is less traffic, they will have less business. And most people live too far from downtown to travel by bike. The city government has not yet decided what to do. It wants to keep everyone happy. Only on weekends, Central Park is closed to cars, and the roads may be used by bicycles only. But have special lanes. 5. The best title for this passage is _ D Solution to Traffic Problem in New York 阅读理解9 I was 15 when I walked into McCarley Bookstore and began to look over the titles of the books on the shelves. The man behind the counter, the owner of the bookstore, asked me if I would like a job. I needed to start saving for college, so I said yes. I worked after school and during summers for minimum wages and the job helped pay for my freshman year of college. I worked at many other jobs afterwards: I made coffee in the student union during college. I made maps for the U.S Forest Service. But selling books was one of the most satisfying. One day a woman asked me for books on cancer. She seemed fearful. I showed her everything we had and found other books we could order. She left the shop less worried and I‘ve always remembered the pride I felt in having helped her. Years later, as a television reporter, I heard about a poor child who was born with his fingers of the left hand linked together. His family could not afford the corrective surgery, and the boy lived in shame, hiding his left hand in his pocket. I persuaded my boss to let me do the story on TV. After my story was broadcast, a doctor and a nurse called, offering to perform the surgery for free. I visited the boy in the recovery room after the operation. The first thing he did was hold up his repaired hand and say, ,Thank you.‖ I was overjoyed and filled with a strong sense of reward. At McCarley Bookstore, I always felt I was working for the customers, not just for the store. Today it‘s the same. NBC news pays me the salary. But I feel that I work for the viewers, helping them make sense of the world. My working experience in McCarley Bookstore helped me find a good sense of the world, and most importantly, it helped me find a good sense of myself. 1. How did the author get the job in McCarley Bookstore? 47 A. He happened to walk into the shop and got it by chance. 2. According to the author, selling books was one of the most satisfying job experiences, because ____________. B. it helped him understand the world and himself 3. After he helped the fearful lady looking for books on cancer, the author was D. proud of himself 4. The author decided to help the poor boy by B. persuading his boss to let him do the story on TV 5. The main reason that the author thinks his present job is the same as the 阅读理解11 We often use gestures to express our feelings, but the problem is that the one in the bookstore is C. it helps people make sense of the world 阅读理解10 Paper was invented by the Chinese in the first century AD. Paper was not made in southern Europe until about the year 1100. Scandinavia - which now makes a great deal of the world‘s paper - did not begin to make it until 1500. Most paper is made from wood. Paper-making is an important British industry and paper from Britain is sold to many countries such as Australia and South Africa. Some of the wood used in the British paper making industry comes from trees grown in Britain, but wood is also bought from other countries such as Norway. One tree is needed for every four hundred copies of a forty-page newspaper. If half the adults in Britain buy one daily paper, this uses up over a thousand trees a day. All over the world, trees are being cut down faster than they are being planted, so there may be a serious need for paper at the beginning of next century. When we think of paper, we think of newspaper, books, letters and writing paper. But there are many other uses. Only half of paper is used for books and newspaper, etc. Paper is very good for keeping you warm. Each year, more and more things are made of paper. Now we hear that chairs, tables, and even beds can be made of paper. But the latest in paper making seems to be paper houses. 1. Where was paper invented?A. In China. 2. Scandinavia began to make paper C. in 1500 3. Every four hundred copies of a forty-page newspaper will need B. one tree 4. All over the world, trees are being cut down __________ than they are being planted. D. faster 5. The latest things made of paper are D. houses gestures can be understood in different ways. It is true that a smile means the same thing in any language. So does laughter or crying . Fear is another emotion that is shown in much the same way all over the world. In Chinese and in English literature, a phrase like ,he went pale and began to tremble‘ suggests that the man is either very afraid or he has just got a very big shock. However, ,he opened his eyes wide‘ is used to suggest anger in Chinese whereas in English it means surprise. In Chinese, surprise can be described in a phrase like ,they stretched out their tongues!‘ ,Stretching out your tongue‖ in English is an insulting gesture or expresses strong dislike. Even in the same culture, people differ in their ability to understand and express feelings. Experiments in America have shown that women are usually better than men at recognizing fear, anger, love and happiness on people‘s faces. Other studies show that older people usually find it easier to recognize or understand body language than younger people do. 1. Which of the following is true according to the passage? D. It is difficult to tell what people‘ gestures really mean sometimes. 2. People ‘s facial expressions may be misunderstood in different cultures because D. people from different cultures have different meanings about some facial expressions 3. From the passage, we can conclude that A gestures can be used to express feelings 4. In the same culture, people D. may have different abilities to understand and express feelings 5. The best title for this passage can be C Gestures and Feelings 48 阅读理解12 A funny thing happened on the way to the communication revolution: we stopped talking to each other. I was walking in the park with a friend recently, and his mobile phone rang, interrupting our conversation. There we were, walking and talking on a beautiful sunny day and – poof! – I was cut off as if I had become absent from the conversation. The park was filled with people talking on their cell phones. They were passing people without looking at them, saying hello, noticing their babies or stopping to pat their dogs. It seems that the limitless electronic voice is preferred to human contact. The telephone used to connect you to the absent. Now it makes people feel absent. Recently I was in a car with three friends. The driver hushed the rest of us because he could not hear the person on the other end of his cell phone. There we were, four friends driving down the highway, unable to talk to each other because of the small thing designed to make communication easier. Why is it that the more connected we get, the more disconnected I feel? Every advance in communications technology is a setback (退步) to the closeness of human interaction. With e-mail and instant message over the Internet, we can now communicate without seeing or talking to one another. With voice mail, you can make entire conversations without ever reaching anyone. If my mom has a question, I just leave the answer on her machine. As almost every contact between human beings gets automatic, the emotional distance index goes up. Pumping gas at the station? Why say good-morning to the assistant when you can swipe you credit card at the pump and save yourself the bother of human contact? Making a deposit at the bank? Why talk to the clerk who lives in the neighborhood when you can put your card into the ATM? More and more, I find myself hiding behind e-mail to do a job meant for conversation or being relieved that voice mail picked up because I didn‘t really have time to talk. The technology devoted to helping me keep in touch is making me lonelier. I own a mobile phone, an ATM card, a voice-mail telephone, and an e-mail account. Giving them up isn‘t a choice. They are great for what they are intended to do. It‘s their unintended results that make me upset. What good is all this gee-whiz technology if there is no one in the room to hear you crying out ,Gee whiz‖? 1. The author‘s experience of walking in a park with a friend recently made him feel A. unhappy 2. According to the author, human contact in a park means D. both A and B. 3. According to the author, the more connected we get in communications technology, the _ we are. C. more disconnected 4. What are the examples the author gives to explain his idea that every advance in communications technology is a setback to the closeness of human interaction? D. All of the above. 5. What is the unintended result of communication technology, according to the author?B. It actually creates a distance between people instead of bringing them together. 阅读理解13 Who will stage the games? Preparing for the Olympics Games is a huge undertaking. Just like the athletes, the host city spends years getting ready for the event. Before deciding which city will host the Olympic Games, the International 49 Olympic Committee (IOC) has to examine bids from all over the world. Bidding for the games begins about ten years in advance. Without preparing a very strong bid1, a city will not win the competition to host the games. Beijing was chosen for the 2008 games from five bidders — Osaka, Paris, Toronto and Istanbul.2 Why does it take so long to prepare? Building the infrastructure costs huge amounts of money. Holding the World Cup in 2002 in Japan and South Korea, for example, meant that ten new stadiums had to be built, as well as many hotels and an improved transport system. In Beijing, after winning the bid the government began Mum just pushed harder, each swipe of the mop taking her farther and farther down the hall. I watched until she was out of sight and the nurse had turned back to writing in the big book. After a long time Mum came back. Her eyes were shining. She quickly put the mop back and took my hand. As we turned to go out of the door, Mum nodded politely to the nurse and said, ,Thank you.‖ Outside, Mum told me, ,Kate is fine. No fever.‖ ,You saw her, Mum?‖ ,Of course. I told her about the hospital rules, and she will not expect us until tomorrow. Dad will stop worrying as well. It‘s a fine hospital. But major construction projects — the extension of the underground, the improvement of the airport and the building of new motorways3. Each host city must also build an Olympic village for the athletes. By planting trees and creating parks, the city becomes more attractive for tourists. Why do countries want to host the Olympic Games? Hosting the games has a major effect on the economy and brings international prestige to the country. Thousands and thousands of visitors come to the games and the host cities are permanently improved. 1. Bidding for the Olympic Games usually starts D. ten years before the games are really held. 2. Beijing was one of the B. five bidders for the 2008games. 3. The World Cup 2002 was held in D. A and B 4. What construction projects did Beijing start after winning the bid? D. All of the above 5. Why do countries want to host the Olympic Games? D. All of the above. 阅读理解14 We walked in so quietly that the nurse at the desk didn‘t even lift her eyes from the book. Mum pointed at a big chair by the door and I knew she wanted me to sit down. While I watched, mouth open in surprise, Mum took off her hat and coat and gave them to me to hold. She walked quietly to the small room by the lift and took out a wet mop. She pushed the mop past the desk and as the nurse looked up, Mum nodded and said, ,Very dirty floors.‖ ,Yes. I‘m glad they‘ve finally decided to clean them,‖ the nurse answered. She looked at Mum strangely and said, ,But aren‘t you working late?‖ such floors! A mop is no good. You need a brush.‖ 1. When she took a mop from the small room what Mum really wanted to do was C. to see a patient 2. When the nurse talked to Mum she thought Mum was a D. cleaner 3. After reading the story what can we infer about the hospital? B. It has strict rules about visiting hours. 4. Why did Mum go to see Kate in the hospital?D. To find out how she was. 5. Which of the following words best describes Mum? D. Clever. 阅读理解15 Did you know there are some very special dogs doing good work in our hospital wards? These are PAT 2 (Pets As Therapy) dogs. Doctors and nurses are recognising the benefits of pets more and more — particularly for children, people with mental illnesses and elderly people who are separated from their own pets or have had to give up their pets. Stroking and playing with a pet is a calming experience and something to look forward to. One hospital reported that a man with a mental illness, who hadn‘t spoken for years, first stroked and played with a visiting dog and then started talking to it. Today, around 4,500 dogs and 50 cats and their volunteer owners are at work in the UK bringing comfort and pleasure to over 100,000 people in hospital. There are many other ,working dogs‘5. There are guard dogs, police dogs, hunting dogs and dogs for the blind. Disabled people benefit greatly. Take 50 the case of Alan Smythe6, who has to visit hospital every month. Some things7 are difficult for him because he is in a wheelchair. But his life has altered dramatically since he got a dog, Tess, from the charity ‗Dogs for the Disabled‘. ,She helps me to get dressed, and she brings me my socks and shoes.

Yan, an elderly lady about 60, had served as committee director for more than 20 years; her major work was to rouse her neighbors from their sleep to get water. As time went by, residents could not go to sleep before one o‘clock in the morning. Chaoyang Street was not the only street in Taiyuan that lacked water, and Taiyuan was not the only city in China with water in short supply. Niu Maosheng, Minister of Water Resources, told China Today that more than 300 cities nationwide lack water; in 108 cities the situation has become critical. The annual deficit of water has reached 6 billion cubic meters, leading to a loss of RMB 200 billion (approximately US $24 billion) in industrial output. 1.

It is very rare for a person to be blind to all colors, but they may see everything in shades of black, white, and gray. It is interesting to note that many color-blind people don‘t even realize that they are color-blind. They don‘t know that the colors they are seeing and naming are not the actual colors that people with normal vision can see. This can be particularly dangerous when a color-blind person confuses the red and green of a traffic light. Color blindness is thought to be inherited (遗传). And although doctors have thought up tests to determine(测定)color blindness, there is no cure to treatment for it. 1. A color-blind person can tell correctly red and green. (F) 2. Many color-blind people are unaware (没意识到) that they are color-blind. (T) 3.

At about half past seven she gets up and we have breakfast together. We normally just have toast, but on Sundays we always have bacon and eggs. After breakfast she reads the newspaper, then she sits by the window and waves to the neighbours as they walk by. She hardly ever goes out but she is very proud of her personal appearance, so she goes to the hairdresser once a month. She doesn‘t like being left on her own for very long, so I always arrange for a neighbour to come and sit with her when I go out. Now and again, my friend and neighbour, Joan, comes to spend the day with her, and I can go and have lunch with another friend, May, who lives in town. I have a brother, Syd.

In the evening we usually watch TV and we sometimes play cards. Mum is fantastic for her age. But I can never decide to go anywhere spontaneously. I always have to plan it, so I feel a bit trapped.

Nearly all of the African population and many of the Caribbean population of Britain live in London (83% and 58% respectively); 39% of the Chinese population of Britain and 36% of the Asian population of Britain live in London. The largest migrant community is from the Irish Republic with 256,000 people, 3.8% of the total population of London. There are an estimated 330,000 refugees and asylum seekers living in London, with most recent arrivals coming from Eastern Europe, North Africa and Kurdistan. Young people, in particular, are skilled at dealing with a large number of different and hybrid cultures.

It was named after a village called Marathon where the Persians were defeated by a small Greek army. The news of the victory was brought to Athens by soldier, who ran the 26 miles from the village of Marathon to the capital. 26 miles was therefore adopted as the distance of the modern marathon race. The Olympic flag was introduced in 1908 and carries the symbol of five linked rings. Which represent the five continents – Africa, America, Asia, Australasia and Europe. The Olympic flame was first carried in the 1932 Olympic Games in Los Angeles. There was no torch relay in the ancient Olympic Games.

We can learn not only international and national events but also many other things in the newspapers. For example, we can learn what is on TV or in the cinema. We can learn how to invest.

Newspapers have become part of our life. 作文27:The Study Plan(关于这个学习英语的研究计划) This semester, I have to study three courses and English is one of them. English is the most difficult course for me. So I will spend more time on this course. I plan to study English for at least one hour a day. I will preview the lessons and finish all the English homework. After class, I will do more practice in reading after the recording because my pronunciation is very poor. In addition, I will try remember as many new words as possible.

In my home, there are two bedrooms, a living room, a study, a bathroom and a kitchen. My father often stays in the living room. He watches Tv there. My mother often stays in the kitchen.

Can you tell me? 58 作文29:Health and Eating Habit(健康的饮食习惯) Eating habit is closely related to heath. In order to keep fit, we should pay more attention to our eating habits. My tips on good eating habits are as follows: First, don‘t eat too much or too little for each meal. Eating too much will cause overweight and eating too little is bad for health too. Second, don‘t eat between meals. Sometimes we like eating a little before the mealtime; as a result, we lose our appetite for lunch or dinner. Third, eat more vegetables and fruit every day. As the saying goes, ,An apple a day makes Thank you so much for the wonderful dinner last night! I had a really good time in your home. You are an amazing cook. I am already longing for another get-together. Will you be free next Saturday evening? I wonder if you could come and have dinner with us. I will also invite our friends Joe and Kate. I‘m sure they will be pleased to meet you. I am looking forward to your joining us next Saturday evening. All the best, Jenny 作文32:My TV University Life(我的广播电视大学生活) the doctor away.‖ In my opinion, a good eating habit leads to a healthy life. 作文29:Living in a Big City(住在一个大城市里) In the eyes of many people, city is attractive with all its advantages and conveniences. People can buy almost all kinds of things at supermarkets or shopping malls, dine out in good restaurant, they can have more educational opportunities.
