I’m brown, and rather short, standing just a little past my master’s knees. My friend Andy once took me to a dog show. I’ve never seen so many different-looking dogs in my life! They all looked pretty and handsome, and their masters were very proud of them when they jumped and ran across so many barriers at that dog show. Andy promised that he’d let me join a dog show, too, if the organizers opened a division for my “breed”.While I was watching that show, I remembered my friends at the pound（走失猫狗的待领处），where I spent two long weeks. We were kept in cages, and although we were well-fed, every day during those two weeks, I hoped to have someone touch my head and play with me.You could just imagine how glad I was when, one day, Andy came in with his dad and pointed in my direction. I stood up on my hind legs and did a little jig （一种快步舞）, and then I wagged my tail and tried to chase it. The father and his son kept laughing at what I was trying to do, and in a few minutes, I was riding on their car on the way to my new home. I was Mr. Archer’s gift for Andy’s eighth birthday. I heard him shout that I was the best gift ever!My favorite amusement is hanging my tongue out of the car window and letting the wind blow on my face. I just love long drives! It is during these times that I think of all my friends whom I left behind at the dog pound. I hope that soon, little boys or girls would also pick them and give them new homes, so they would be able to enjoy walks in the park and trips to the beach, as I do now.26. Why didn’t Jake join the dog show?A. Because he wasn’t handsome enough.B. Because his “breed” was not included.C. Because Andy didn’t allow him to join in.D. Because he couldn’t jump and run across barriers.27. What can we learn about Jake when he was at the pound?A. He couldn’t get enough food.B. He couldn’t enjoy full freedom.C. He had to stand all the time.D. He was satisfied with his life.28. Why did Mr. Archer come to the pound that day?A. To donate some food.B. To volunteer at the poundC. To find his son a gift.D. To spend his holiday29. According to the last paragraph, what wish does Jake have?A. Having more long drives with Andy.B. Meeting his friends at the pound again.C. More boys and girls coming to play with him.D. His friends at the pound being adopted.30. What did Jake feel after it got a new home?A. happyB. terribleC. dissatisfactoryD. blueBMy name is Kenn Nesbitt and I’m a poet. I started writing poems as a hobby in 1994. At the time, I never gave any thought to publishing them; I just wrote for my own amusement. But it was so much fun that I ended up writing a lot of poems, which led me to the idea of creating a website, and at last writing books. If you want to write poems, I have some advice for you.My ideas mostly come from my imagination. That is, I like to sit and daydream, and see what kinds of crazy things I can think up. For kids, I suggest that whenever you think of an idea, you should write it down, even if you don’t have time write them to create a whole poem from your idea. I have notebooks full of ideas that I haven’t written poems about yet. So I can always look through my notebooks and find something fun to write about.One way to make poems interesting is to write about things readers can understand: school, family, food, pets, games, sports, and so on. To make a poem funny, I often ask myself, “What kinds of funny things might happen at school, or over dinner? What funny things might your pets do?” and it’s OK to make things up, such as having a pet elephant, or a pet that plays video games. Use your imagination and see where it leads. But the best advice I can give kids is not to just write one poem, it might be a great one, or maybe not so good. But if you write ten poems, you’ll probably find that, even though they aren’t all perfect, a few of them are much better than the others.31. Why did the author start writing poems at first?A. To publish them.B. To entertain himself.C. To contribute to a website.D. To kill time.32. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 2?A. How to write poems.B. How to think up crazy things.C. How to get ideas for poems.D. How to become creative.33. According to the author, what is the best advice he can give us?A. Just write great poems.B. Write as many as possible.C. Make poems as funny as possible.D. Try to make things up in your poems.34. Where does the author come from?A. AmericaB. ChinaC. GermanyD. not mentioned35. What’s the author’s purpose of writing the text?A. To suggest some poems written by him.B. To show writing poems isn’t that hard.C. To tell readers how to write poems.D. To explain how he writes poems.CHow to keep a nearly lost friendship alive（七选五）There are times when a friendship has to go through huge tests. It is a battle between staying together and moving away from each other. 36 More often than not, it is pride that destroys a friendship.Relax your pride. This is easy to say, but very difficult to do. You may ask yourself, “Why should I say sorry when he does not show any regret for what he has done?”37 If you find yourself saying any of these things, you should understand that it is your pride talking. Allowing your pride to control your feelings will leave you bitter and confused.Talk about the problem. Face the problem calmly. 38 it may sound silly, but it could certainly heal the wounds that you have caused each other. If you avoid facing the problem, your pain will only grow. Remember, you want to keep the friendship and not worsen the problem.Laugh about it. 39 After some time, when both of you have become calm and renewed your confidence in each other, go back to the time when you had nearly fallen apart.Laugh about your foolishness, and promise to never let pride take over your friendship.Friendship is a valuable thing. 40 Rapport（融洽的关系）is what creates a friendship. Love, understanding, acceptance and forgiveness are what lead to a long-lasting friendship.A. Try to save your friendship.B. It cannot be bought or demanded.C.

AlphaGo,DeepMind’s Go-playing AI,just defeated thebest Go-playing human,Lee Sedol.But as we drink to its success,weshould also begin trying to understand it means for the future.The number of possible moves in a game of Go is so huge that,in orderto win against a player like Lee,AlphaGo was designed to adopt a human-like style of gameplay by using a relatively recent development—deep learning.Deep learning uses large data sets,“machine learning” algorithms (计算程序) and deep neural (神经的) networks to teach the AI how to perform a particular set of tasks.Rather than programming complex Go rules and strategies into AlphaGo,DeepMind designers taught AlphaGo to play the game by feeding it data based on typical Go moves.Then,AlphaGo played against itself,tirelessly learning from its own mistakes and improving its gameplay over time.The results speak for themselves.Deep learning represents a shift in the relationship humans have with their technological creations.It results in AI that displays surprising and unpredictable menting after his first loss,Lee described being shocked by an unconventional move he claimed no human would ever have made.Demis Hassabis,one of DeepMind’s founde rs,echoed this comment: “We’re very pleased that AlphaGo played some quite surprising and beautiful moves.”Unpredictability and surprises are—or can be—a good thing.They can indicate that a system is working well,perhaps better than the humans that came before it.Such is the case with AlphaGo.However,unpredictability also indicates a loss of human control.That Hassabis is surprised at his creation’s behaviour suggests a lack of control in the design.And though some loss of control might be fine in the context of a game such as Go,it raises urgent questions elsewhere.How much and what kind of control should we give up to AI machines? How should we design appropriate human control into AI that requires us to give up some of that very control? Is there some AI that we should just not develop if it means any loss of human control? How much of a say should corporations,governments,experts or citizens have in these matters? These important questions,and many others like them,have emerged in response,but remainunanswered.They require human,not human-like,solutions.So as we drink to the milestone in AI,let’s also drink to the understanding that the time to answer deeply human questions about deep learning and AI is now.8.What contributes most to the unconventional move of AlphaGo in the game?A.The capability of self-improvement.B.The constant input of large data sets.C.The installation of deep neutral networks.D.The knowledge of Go rules and strategies.9.How should we deal with the unpredictability of AI?A.We should stop AI machines from developing even further.B.We should call on the government to solve these problems for us.C.We should rely on ourselves and come up with effective solutions.D.We should invent even more intelligent machines to solve everything.10.What’s the author’s attitude towards this remarkable advance in AI?A.Supportive.B.Optimistic.C.Doubtful.D.Cautious.笫二节阅读填空（每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

A school party of 15 students should pay $90 for the standby tickets.BFrom the health point of view we are living in an amazing age. We are free from many of the most dangerous diseases. A large number of once deadly illnesses can now be cured by modern medicine. It is almost certain that one day medicines will be found for the most stubborn remaining diseases. The expectation of life has increased greatly. But though the possibility of living a long and happy life is greater than ever before, every day we witness the unbelievable killing of men, women and children on the roads. Man vs the motor-car. It is a never-ending battle which man is losing. Thousands of people the world over are killed or horribly killed each year and we are quietly sitting back and letting it happen.It has been rightly said that when a man is sitting behind a steering wheel (方向盘), his car becomes the extension of his personality. There is no doubt that the motor-car often brings out a man’s very worst qualities．People who are normally quiet and pleasant may become unrecognizable when they are behind asteering-wheel. They say, they are ill-mannered and aggressive, willful as two-year-olds and completely selfish．All their hidden angers and disappointments seem to be brought to the surface by the act of driving.The surprising thing is that society smiles so gently on the motorist and seems to forgive his behavior. Everything is done for his convenience. Cities are allowed to become almost uninhabitable because of heavy traffic; towns are made ugly by huge car parks; the countryside is ruined by road networks; and the deaths become nothing more than a number every year, to be easily forgotten.It is high time a world rule was created to reduce this senseless waste of human life. With regard to driving, the laws of some countries are unbelievably lax (不严格) and even the strictest are not strict enough. A rule which was universally accepted could only have an obviously beneficial effect on the accident rate．Here are a few examples of some of the things that might be done. The driving test should be standardized and made far more difficult than it is; all the drivers should be made to take a test every three years or so; the age at which young people are allowed to drive any vehicle should be raised to at least 21; all vehicles should be put through strict tests for safety each year. Even the smallest amount of alcohol in the blood can damage a person's driving ability. Present drinking and driving laws (where they exist) should be made much stricter. Speed limits should be required on all roads. Governments should lay down safety specifications for car factories, as has been done in the USA. All advertising stre ssing power and performance should be banned. These measures may not sound good enough. But surely nothing should be considered as too severe if it results in reducing the number of deaths. After all, the world is for human beings, not motor-cars.4. What is the main idea of this passage?A. Traffic accidents are mainly caused by motorists.B. Thousands of people the world over are killed each year.C. The laws of some countries about driving are too lax.D. Only stricter traffic laws can prevent accidents.5. What does the author think of society toward motorists?A. Society laughs at the motorists.B. Society forgives their rude driving.C. Victims of accidents are nothing.D. Huge car parks are built in the cities and towns.6. What does the author mean by saying “his car becomes the extens ion of hispersonality” in Para. 2 ?A. Driving can represent his manners.B. Driving can show the other part of his personality.C. Driving can show his hidden qualitiesD. Driving can bring out his character.7. Which of the followings is NOT mentioned as a way against traffic accidents?A. Build more highwaysB. Stricter driving tests.C. Test drivers every three years.D. Raise age limit and lay down safety specifications.CComputers have been used in teaching for more than twenty years. But a new book says that only now are they changing education. And it predicts that a lot more is about to happen.The book is called “Disrupting Class: How Disruptive Innovation Will Change the Way th e World Learns.” “Disruptive Innovation” is a theory developed by lead author Clayton Christensen, a professor at the Harvard Business School. He says organizations almost always use new, creative technology only to continue what they already do.New technology should change organizations, he says, and disrupt them in a good way. They should use the technology to do things differently — for example, to serve more needs. The book says the needed disruptive force in education is computer-based learning.Michael Horn, another author of “Disrupting Class”, told us about a Boston public school that he visited. Every student at Lilla G. Frederick Middle School inDorchester, MassachCusetts, has a laptop computer. One class was learning about storms. Michael Horn says the laptops made it possible to truly individualize (使个人化) the lessons, to divide materials by ability level and learning style. At the end, the stu-dents all took part in a discussion led by the teacher.Computer-based learning offers a way for students to take advanced courses not offered at their school, or to retake classes they failed. It also serves those who cannot physically attend school, and students who receive home schooling.Computer-based learning includes online courses. Enrollments (招生) in online courses have grown sharply. In 2007, the United States had about one million enrollments, not including college courses. Students could be enrolled in more than one course, through schools or education companies. High school students make up about seventy percent of the enrollments. Still, nationally, only about one percent of all high school courses last year were taught online.But the authors of “Disrupting Class” predict it will be ten percent in about six years. And their research suggests that the number will be about fifty percent by 2019. And Michael Horn says the future of online learning could be even greater in developing countries.8. Which of the following is TRUE about the book “Disrupting Class”?A. It was written by more than one author.B. It thinks the computer affects students’ studies.C. It introduces a new scientific technology to readers.D. It has been a best-seller since it was published.9. Paragraph 4 is written to show _____.A. how modern the Boston public school isB. how clever the American students areC. how well the American teachers teachD. what computer-based le arning is like10. From the last two paragraphs, we can infer the authors of “Disrupting Class” think that _____.A. more and more students are interested in “Disrupting Class”B. enrollments in online courses haven’t grown recentlyC. more and more high school courses will be taught onlineD. those who take online courses are mainly college students11. The passage is mainly about _____.A. a new bookB. some American writersC. a new learning wayD.the advantages of computersDThe idea of “law” exists in every culture. All societies have some kind of law to keep order and to control the interactions of people with those around them. The laws of any culture tell people three things: what they can do (their right), what they must do (their duties), and what they may not do. In addition, there are usually specific types of punishment for those who break the law.Although all societies have laws, not all have the same idea of justice—which is “right” and “wrong” and how “wrong” should be punished. In most Western cultures, it is thought that punishing criminals will prevent them from committing other crimes. Also, it is hoped that the fear of punishment will act as a deterrent(威慑) that prevents other people from committing similar crimes; in other words, people who are considering a life of crime will decide against it because of fear of punishment. In most non-Western cultures, by contrast, punishment is not seen as a deterrent. Instead, great importance is placed on restoring balance in the situation. A thief, for example, may be ordered to return the things he has stolen instead of, as in Western societies, spending time in prison.Another difference in the concept of justice lies in various societies’ ideas of what laws are. In the West, people consider “laws” quite different from “customs”. There is also a great contrast between “sins” (breaking religious laws) and “crimes” (breaking laws of the government). In many non-Western cultures, on the other hand, there is little separation of customs, laws, and religious beliefs; in o ther cultures, these three may be quite separate from one another, but still very much different from those in the West. For these reasons, an action may be considered a crime in one country, but be socially acceptable in others. For instance, althougha thief is viewed as a criminal in much of the world, in a small village where there is considerable communal（公共的） living and sharing of objects, the word thief may have little meaning. Someone who has taken something without asking is simply considered an impolite person.Most countries have two kinds of law: criminal and civil. People who have been accused of acts such as murder or theft are heard in the criminal justice system, while civil justice deals with people who are believed to have violated others’ rights. The use of the civil system reflects the values of the society in which it exists. In the United States where personal, individual justice is considered very important, civil law has become “big business.” There are over 600,000 lawyers in the United States, and many of them keep busy with civil lawsuits; that is, they work for people who want to sue others. If a man falls over a torn rug in a hotel and breaks his arm, for instance, he might decide to sue the hotel owners so that they will pay his medical costs. In a country like Japan, by contrast, there is very little use of the civil justice system. Lawsuits are not very popular in Japan, where social harmony is even more important than individual rights, and where people would rather reach agreement outside court.12. The main point of paragraph 1 is that____.A. all societies, Western or non-Western, have some kind of law to keep order.B. most countries in the world have two kinds of law “criminal and civil ”C. there are usually specific types of punishment for those who break the law.D. the l aws of any culture dictate people’s rights, duties and what they are not supposed to do13. Which is TRUE in most Western cultures?A. A thief may be referred to as an impolite person.B. Punishment has double functions.C. Punishment is not regarded as a deterrent.D. There is lots of communal living and sharing of objects.14. Which statement is NOT true according to the article?A. In the West, there is little difference between “sins” and “crimes”.B. In the West, people think laws and customs are rather different.C. An action that is considered a crime in one country may be socially acceptable in another.D.There is far less use of the civil justice system in Japan than in the United States.15. Which of the following cases are not heard in the criminal justice system?A. Robbing a pedestrian.B. Kidnapping people for ransom.C. Breaking into a bank.D. Failing to pay back the money.第二部分完形填空(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)I’m someone who never went to unive rsity but always thought about it.

That is why some friendship don’t last long. To have a friend, you must learn to be one. You must learn to treat your friend the way you want your friend to treat you. Learning to be a good friend means learning three rules: be honest; be generous; be understanding. Honesty is where a good friendship starts. Friends must be able to trust one another. If you do not tel l the truth, people usually find out. If a friend finds out that you haven’t been honest, you may lose friend’s trust. Good friends always count on one another to speak and act honestly.Generosity means sharing and sharing makes a friendship grow. You do not have to give your lunch money or your clothes. Naturally you will want to share your ideas and feelings. These can be very valuable to a friend. They tell your friend what is important to you. By sharing them, you help your friend know better.Sooner or later everyone needs understanding and helping with problems. So mething may go wrong at school. Talking about the problem can make it easier to solve. Turning to a friend can be a first step in solving the problem. So to be a friend you must listen and understand. You must try to put yourself in your friend’s place so you can understand the problem better.No two friendships are ever exactly alike. But a ll true friendships have three things in common. If you plan to keep your friends, you must practice honesty, generosity, and understanding.11. Some friendships don’t last very long because___________.A. there are too many people who want to make friendsB. some people receive friendship but don’t give friendship backC. those who give others friendship receive friendship from othersD. they don’t know friendship is something serious12. According to the passage honesty is _______.A. something countableB. the base offriendshipC. as important as moneyD. more important thananything else13. Which of the following isn’t mentioned（提及）in the passage?A. Always tell your friends the truth.B. Sharing your mind with your friends is of great value.C. Discussing your problems with your friend often helps to solve the problem.D. A friend who gives you his lunch money is a true friend.14. The best title of this passage is __________.A. Honesty is the Best PolicyB. A Friend in Need is a Friend IndeedC. How to be FriendD. Three Important Points in LifeBThere is a way to clean space might be through a large space net, like a huge fishing net to catch all the litter floating around the Earth. It's not science fiction(科幻小说). A Japanese company is looking into developing a satellite that would then throw out a net made by Nitto Seimo Co, which makes fishing nets. It would form around the litter and draw it back towards the Earth, and the litter would burn up in the planet's atmosphere. The idea of a net is because that would catch the smallest pieces of the space litter which could make holes in satellites, spacecrafts or other expensive equipment.What's surprising is that there are so many people that don't think there is a problem with space litter, especially since billions and billions of dollars worth of valuable equipment has to travel around the litter clouds every day.Another similar net idea is being developed by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). They're developing a space garbage collecting vehicle that would be armed with 200 special nets to collect the space litter. Called the Electrodynamic Debris Eliminator, or EDDE, it was created by Star Inc. It would fly in low Earth orbit and pickup litter as it traveled. It's said that it could pick up over 2，000 pieces of litter in seven years. Star says they could do a first test run of the EDDE as soon as 2018.All in all the main problem in getting rid of all space litter is likely money. Cleaning it all up will be very expensive for sure. However, something needs to be done and the sooner, the better.15.The author thinks it is surprising that____.A. there is so much litter in space.B. such a net can be used to clean space.C. space litter can do damage to satellites.D. many people don’t regard space litter as a problem.16.According to the passage, EDDE____.A. can collect 2,000 pieces of litter per year.B. will be sent into space in the near future.C. is an organization that deals with space litter.D. is the name of a net made by Nitto Seimo Co.17．What is the main problem concerned with cleaning space?A．The cleaning will be expensive.B．We haven't found an excellent method.C．We may damage the expensive equipment.D．It is not worth the huge cost to clean space.18．Which of the following will the author agree with?A．It is not difficult at all to deal with space litter.B．We should limit the use of expensive equipment.C．It is necessary to clean space litter as soon as possible.D．Garbage collecting vehicles should be widely used in our daily life.CInvention of TV began in 1922 in Rigby, Idaho, the hometown of Philo. At the age of 16, Philo was a very shy boy. Only his teacher, Justin Tolman, realized that Philo was a special person.One day after school Mr Tolman found Philo in the schoolroom. The boy was making drawings on the blackboard.“What are you doing?” Mr Tolman asked with interest. “What are these drawings?”“I want to invent things,” Philo answered, “and these are the drawings of one of my first inventions. I have an idea for a way of sending pictures through the air. Please, just let me tell you about it. You are the only person who can understand what I have done.” In the school library Philo had read about a man who had worked on an idea for TV, but had failed. Philo was sure that his idea was better and that he could succeed.Mr Tolman was not sure and asked Philo many questions about the drawings. Giving facts and figures, Philo answered every question.In 1926, Philo sent his drawings to Washington, along with a letter asking for patent (专利)rights on TV. Since then, television has become an important business all over the world.19.

Wansink calls this kindof food comfort food. For some people, ice cream is a comfort food. For others, a bowlof noodles makes them feel good.27 Professor Wansink believes that we connect food with important times, feelings, and people in our lives, “When I was a child, my mother made a delicious soup; I loved it. 28 And it helps me feel better,” says one of Wansink’s coworkers.29 Wansink’s research (研究) at the University of Illinois says “yes”. In his study, the favourite comfort food for both men and women was ice cream. After this, men usually preferred hot, delicious foods like soup or noodles. Women liked sweet things suchas chocolate and candies. Men and women like to eat comfort foods when they are happy, but women eat these foods more when they are sad or worried.30 About 40 percent of the comfort foods in Wansink’s study were healthy main dishesor soups and vegetables. It shows, says Wansink, that a comfort food can taste good and begood for you.A. Not all comfort food is junk food.B. Where can we buy this sort of food?C. Sweet foods are also their preference.D. How does a food became comfort food?E. Usually, we eat because we are hungry or need energy.F. Do men and women choose different comfort foods?G. Now, I often eat this kind of food when I am tired or worried.四、完形填空（每小题1.5分，共30分）A man planed to plant a small mango tree and enjoy the benefits.

书面表达Dear Sir/Madam,My name is Li Hua, a passenger of your airline. I feel bad to trouble you but I am writing to make a complaint about my unpleasant experience on the flight CA257 last Saturday.I have never had a worse flight before. Firstly, your airline lost one of my bags where an important document was kept and I have to attend a conference with it next week. Furthermore, almost all passengers were unhappy with the food supplied on the plane. It was cold and tasted terrible. Lastly, so unfriendly and impatient were the flight attendants that they were deaf to our justifiable requests. I would appreciate it if you could find my bag as soon as possible, and I would like to have this matter settled by the end of this week.Thank you for your consideration and I will be looking forward to yourreply.Yours sincerely,Li Hua。

AIn Canada you can find dogs, cats, horses, etc. in almost every family. These are their pe ts. People love these pets and have them as their good friends. Before they keep them in their houses, they take them to animal hospitals to give them injections(注射) so that they won’t carry diseases. They have special animal food stores, though they can buy animal food in almost every kind of stores. Some people spend around two hundred Canadian dollars a month on animal food.When you visit people’s houses, they would be very glad to show you their pets and they are very proud of them.

While the number of US students in China has grownfrom less than 100 in the early 1980s to more than 10,000 currently, many of them are here to gain a professional skill as much as to enjoy a new culture.“In the past, foreign students came to China merely for our culture,” said Xu Qiuhan, director of BLCU’s foreign students office. “But because of China’s rapid economic and social development, being able to speak Chinese has become a useful tool to a student’s future job.”There are more US students who choose to stay in the country instead of going back after graduation. Stephanie Schubmehlo, a 23-year-old from Rochester, New York State, said she would like to stay in Beijing after graduation. “I love the city , and I can earn myself a living here if I can speak good Chinese,” she said, adding that some of the US students she knows shared the same idea.6.

US students become less interested in China’s culture7.

Chinese helps with the development of ChinaB. more and more Americans will study in ChinaC. professional skills are more important than cultureD. China’s development makes Chinese professionally useful9. What do Sam Gor and Stephanie Schubmehlo have in common?A. They are studying Chinese in BeijingB. They are from the same city of the US.C. They are of the same age.D. They will go back to the US after graduation.10. Which of the following statements is true according to t he text?A. Many US students know Chinese better than English.B. Chinese is the necessary subject in many American schools.C. Most US students choose to go back to America after graduation.D.

AThe writer Margaret Mitchell is best known for writing Gone with the Wind, first published in 1936. Her book and the movie based on it, tell a story of love and survival during the American Civil War. Visitors to the Margaret Mitchell House in Atlanta, Georgia, can go where she lived when she started composing the story and learn more about her life.Our first stop at the Margaret Mitchell House is an exhibit area telling about the writer’s life. She was born in Atlanta in 1900. She started writing stories when she was a child. She started working as a reporter for the Atlanta Journal newspaper in 1922. One photograph of Ms. Mitchell, called Peggy, shows her talking to a group of young college boys. She was only about one and a half meters tall. The young men tower over her, but she seems very happy and sure of herself. The tour guide explains: “Now in this picture Peggy is interviewing some boys from Georgia Tech, asking them such questions as ‘Would you really marry a woman who works?’And today it’d be ‘Would you marry one who doesn’t?’”The Margaret Mitchell House is a building that once contained several apartments. Now we enter the first floor apartment where Ms. Mitchell lived with her husband, John Marsh. They made fun of the small apartment by calling it “The Dump”.Around 1926, Margaret Mitchell had stopped working as a reporter and was at home healing after an injury. Her husband brought her books to read from the library. She read so many books that he bought her a typewriter and said it was time for her to write her own book. Our guide says Gone with the Wind became a huge success. Margaret Mitchell received the Pulitzer Prize for the book. In 1939 the film version was released. It won ten Academy Awards, including Best Picture.1. The book Gone with the Wind was _________.A. first published on a newspaperB. awarded ten Academy AwardsC. written in “The Dump”D. adapted from a movie2.

From the changing expressions on speakers’faces and the tones of their voices, they can tell lies from truths.Doctors studying the human brain have given a number of examples of this amazing power of aphasics. Some have even compared this power to that of a dog with an ability to find out the drugs hidden in the baggage.Recently, scientists carried out tests to see if all that was said about aphasics was true. They studied a mixed group of people. Some were normal; others were aphasics. It was proved that the aphasics were far ahead of the normal people in recognizing false speeches—in most cases, the normal people were fooled by words, but the aphasics were not.Some years ago, Dr. Oliver Sacks wrote in his book about his experiences with aphasics. He mentioned a particular case in a hospital. Some aphasics were watching the president giving a speech on TV. Since the president had been an actor earlier, making a good speech was no problem for him. He was trying to put his feelings into every word of his speech.But his way of speaking had the opposite effect on the patients. They didn’t seem to believehim. Instead, they burst into laughter. The aphasics knew that the president did not mean a word of what he was saying. He was lying!Many doctors see aphasics as people who are not completely normal because they lack the ability to understand words. However, according to Dr. Sacks, they are more gifted than normal people. Normal people may get carried away by words. Aphasics seem to understand human expressions better, though they cannot understand words.5. What is so surprising about aphasics?A. They can fool other people.B. They can tell whether people are lying.C. They can understand language better.D. They can find out the hidden drugs.6. How did the scientists study aphasics?A. By asking them to watch TV together.B. By organizing them into acting groups.C. By comparing them with normal people.D. By giving them chances to speak on TV.7. What do we learn from this text?A. What ones says reflects how one feels.B. Aphasics have richer feelings than others.C. Normal people often tell lies in their speeches.D. People poor at one thing can be good at another.CDo you want to get home from work knowing you have made a real difference in someone’s life?If yes, don’t care about sex or age! Come and join us, then you’ll make it!Position: Volunteer Social Care Assistant(No Pay with Free Meals)Place: ManchesterHours: Part TimeWe arc now looking for volunteers to support people with learning disabilities to live activelives!

To a growing number of US students in China, study in the ancient c ountry is no longer just a cultural experience; it has become an important part of their future professional careers.
Sam Gor, a 26-year-old student from Santa Clara, a county near San Francisco, said the purpose of his studies in Beijing was to help him find a good job when he goes back to the United States. “Culture matters,” he said. “But more importantly, to learn Chinese and
get a better understanding of the country may help me professionally.” As a new student
at Beijing Language and Cultural University (BLCU), Gor hopes to find a job in Santa Clara’s local government w hen he goes back home in one year. “I need to learn Chinese if I want
the job, as we have a large Chinese community there.”
Gor is not alone in his thinking. While the number of US students in China has grown。
