Donna，who wears XXXXXXXL dresses，eats pounds of junk food and tries to move as little as possible．The 42-year-old woman is a model on a website，where admirers and the curious can pay to watch videos of her eating foods or walking to the car．She has appeared in TV interviews and said she welcomed media coverage．

The UK has a well-respected higher education system and some of the top universities and research institutions in the world．But to those who are new to it all，sometimes it can be confusing．
October is usually the busiest month in the college calendar．Universities have something called Freshers’ Week for their newcomers．It’s a great opportunity to make new friends，join lots of clubs and settle into university life．
However，having just left the comfort of home and all your friends behind，the prospect （前景）of meeting lots of strangers in big halls can be nerve-wracking（令人头痛的）．Where do you start？Who should you make friends with？Which clubs should you join？
Luckily，there will be thousands of others in the same boat as you worrying about starting their university social life on the right foot．So just take it all in slowly．Don’t rush into anything that you’ll regret for the next three years．
Here are some top advice from past students on how to survive Freshers’ Week：
●Learn rules．Make sure you know British social etiquette（礼节）．Have a few wine glasses and snacks handy for your housemates and friends．
●Be kind．Sometimes cups of tea or even slices of toast can give you a head start in making friends．
●Be sociable．The more active you are，the more likely you’ll be to meet new people than if you’re someone who never leaves their room．
●Bring a doorstop．Keep your door open when you’re in and that sends positive messages to your neighbors that you’re friendly．

Today，we complete our story about the influential English writer William Shakespeare．He wrote plays and poems during the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries，which remain very popular today．
During earlier times，people would probably have learned several ancient Roman and Greek plays．It was not unusual for writers to produce more current versions of these works．For example，in Shakespeare’s play “The Comedy of Errors” Shakespeare borrowed certain details from the ancient Roman writer Plautus．For his play “Macbeth”，Shakespeare most likely used a work on Scottish history by Raphael Holinshed for information．Shakespeare might have borrowed from other writers，but the intensity（强度）of his imagination and language made the plays his own．While many plays by other writers of his time have been forgotten，Shakespeare and his art live on．
Shakespeare was also influenced by the world around him．He described the sights and sounds of London in his plays．His works include observations about political struggles，the fear of diseases，and the popular language of the city’s tradesmen．Shakespeare’s knowledge of the English countryside is also clear．His works include descriptions of deep forests，local flowers，and the ancient popular traditions of rural people．
It would be impossible to list all of the ways in which Shakespeare’s works have influenced the world culture．But the first and greatest example would be his great influence on the English language．During his time，the English language was changing．Many new words from other languages were being added．Shakespeare used his sharp mind and poetic（富有诗意的）inventiveness to create hundreds of new words and rework old ones．For example，he created the noun forms of “critic”，“mountaineer” and “eyeball”．Many common expressions in English come from his plays，including “pomp and circumstance（装腔作势）” from “Othello”，“full circle（绕圈子地）” from “King Lear”，etc．The list of cultural creations influenced by Shakespeare is almost endless．From paintings to television to music and dance，Shakespeare was well represented．Shakespeare’s plays have been translated into every major language in the
world．
Shakespeare became a well-known writer during a golden age of theater．His years of hard work paid off．
66．What can we infer from the passage？
A．Many of Shakespeare’s works were influenced by earlier writings．
B．Shakespeare was hard-working when he was a student．
C．The experience of living in London helped a lot with Shakespeare’s works．
D．Shakespeare became rich later because of the popularity of his works．67．Shakespeare might have learnt some information from ancient Roman works in．A．“King Lear” B．“The Comedy of Errors”
C．“Macbeth”D．“Othello”
68．Why could Shakespeare’s works survive his time？
A．Because there were so few people writing plays in his time．
B．Because he produced too many works that nobody else could do．
C．Because he was a rich and influential person of his time．
D．Because his works were rich in imagination and language．
69．Shakespeare’s greatest influence should be on．
A．the English language B．paintings
C．television D．music and dance
70．The passage is mainly about ．
A．an introduction to Shakespeare’s life and his works
B．the main features and styles of Shakespeare’s plays
C．how culture influenced Shakespeare and he influenced culture．
D．Shakespeare’s greatest influence on the world culture．
Part ⅣWriting （45 marks）
Section A （10 marks）
Directions：Read the following passage．Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage．
Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer．
Dogs are man’s best friend．One way to show how much you love them is by building them a great doghouse of their very own．Make sure that your dog is safe，comfortable，and happy by following these tips when building your doghouse．
Consider the breed of your dog．What your dog will need to have their doghouse equipped with depends largely on their breeds．If your dog has long or thick hair or is a traditionally “cold weather”breed like a Malamute or a Husky，they will need less protection from inclement weather than a smaller or shorter haired dog like a Chihuahua．If you are unsure or if your dog is a mixed breed，ask an expert about any special consideration that you might need to keep in mind when building a doghouse．
Measure your dog．Your dog will reach an average height and weight when full-grown depending on breeds．Even if you are building your doghouse while your dog is a puppy，you will want to make sure that the doghouse will be a comfortable size once your pet is full-grown．Imagine what size your dog will be when it is an adult and build your doghouse accordingly．
Make it breathe．Enough ventilation is the most important feature of your doghouse．Even if
the house is big enough for your dog，little ventilation will make it uncomfortable for your dog．So consider using materials like wood that would allow air to move freely．Make sure the main door to the doghouse is large and able to be left open，and consider an extra window in one of the doghouse’s walls for extra air and light．
Keep it roomy．Your dog should have enough room in the doghouse to sit，stand up，and move around．Your dog will probably take toys，sticks or other things that it likes best to the doghouse，so make sure you leave room for these things，too．
Choose a proper place for the doghouse．Keep the doghouse off the ground．This keeps moisture away and keeps the dog comfortable and warm．
Section B （10 marks）
Directions：Read the following passage．Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage．
What is red but green，open but closed and old but new？Answer：London’s beautiful new double-deckers buses．The traditional red double-deckers are a symbol of London．This was made certain in when one bus made the longer-than-usual trip to Beijing to collect a very special passenger：the Olympic Flame．
Now a new bus design has been impressing Londoners．The new bus uses more green technology and has an open platform，making sure people get on and get off easily．It also has a special asymmetric（不对称的）design for the front end，which gives it a futuristic look．
Besides these the design is not all new．Its outside can remind you of London’s faithful old double-decker，the Routemaster（马路大师）．In December the original Routemaster was stopped from offering general service as a result of environmental reasons，but it can still be seen on two routes in London．
In July a competition was organized by the London Mayor，Boris Johnson，to design a new Routemaster bus for the capital．Several designers together won the ￡25,000 prize．The new double-deckers，which have three doors to speed up boarding，are expected to be in service in ．
Mr．Johnson said：“This new part of our transport system is not only beautiful，but also has a green heart．．．” He expects cities around the globe to be “beside themselves with envy”for what he described as an “impressive red symbol”of 21st-century London．However，Mr．Johnson has not yet convinced everyone to climb on board．The mayor has been criticized by some for the high cost of the new buses．A normal double-decker bus costs around ￡190,000 but it has cost ￡7,800,000 to design and build five new ones．
81．Why did a traditional red double-decker bus came to Beijing in ？（No more than 8 words）（2 marks）
82．What disadvantage does the old Routemaster have？（No more than 6 words）（2 marks）
83．List at least two special characteristics of the new design of the Routemaster．（No more than
