A
A little boy selling magazines for school walked up to a house that people rarely visited. The house was very old and the owner hardly ever came out. When he did, he would not say hello to neighbors or passers-by, but simply glare at them.
The boy knocked on the door and waited, sweating from fear of the old man.
As he was ready to walk away, the do or slowly opened. “What do you want?” the old man said.
“Uh, sir, I uh am selling these magazines and, uh, I was wondering if you would like to buy one.”
The old man just stared at the boy. The boy could see inside the old man’s house and saw that he had dog figurines (小雕像) on the fireplace. “Do you collect dogs?” the little boy asked.
“Yes, I have many collectibles in my house. They are my family here. They are all I have.”
The boy then felt sorry for the man, as it seemed that he was a very lonely soul. “Well, I do have a magazine here for collectors. It is perfect for you. I also have one about dogs since you like dogs so much.”
The old man was ready to close the door and said: “No, boy, I don’t need any magazines of any kind, now goodbye.”
The little boy was sad for the old man because he was alone in the big house. Then he thought of a little dog figurine that he had got some years earlier from an aunt. The boy headed back down to the old man’s house with it. He knocked on the door again and this time th e old man came right to the door. “Boy, I thought I told you no magazines.”
“No, sir. I know that. I wanted to bring you a gift.” The boy handed him the figurine and the old man’s face lit up.
The old man was surprised and said: “Boy, you have a big heart. Why are you doing this?”
The boy smiled at the man and said: “Because you like dogs.”
From that day on, the old man started coming out of the house and greeting people. He and the boy became friends.
This simple nice act changed both of their lives forever.
51. How did the boy feel when he first knocked on the old man’s door?

“Let the world know China and let China know the world.” I can’t remember exactly where I have seen this slogan(口号) in Beijing. Considering the simple fact of the wish people have for learning foreign languages and the number of people going abroad each year, everyone can tell how hard China and Chinese people are trying to know the world. But I didn’t know how equally important and urgent(迫切的) it is for the world to know China until I came to the UK.
In the self-introduction during our first class in a PhD course, when I told them
I wanted to finish the degree as soon as I could and then go back to China, the British students looked at me in both surprise and disbelief. Their idea is that everybody who comes to the UK, including the Chinese, will stay here to look for a better life and that this is the only place where one can find a better life.
When I asked my friend for advice about buying a new car, she looked at me, asking in surprise, “A new car?” Later I found out that her surprise was because of the popular image of Chinese students: either too poor or too economical.
When we Chinese students for the first time joined the monthly performance hour of the department and sang some traditional songs and gave a short humorous introduction, all the teachers and students were surprised. To them, Chinese students are so serious and shy. These ideas have been because of the fact that Chinese students are sometimes not seen among the students.
So “let the world know China”should no longer remain an empty slogan. It is something we all should do, home and abroad, and something we should do with confidence and openness.
55. In British students’opinion, Chinese students come to the UK mainly because .
A. they want to get a British degree
B. the education in UK is the best in the world
C. they want to know more about British
D. they want to look for a better life in Britain
56. The general image of Chinese students in British students’ mind is_____.
A. very rich
B. very common
C. very humorous
D. very poor or economical
57. The British students think Chinese students were serious and shy because Chinese students_____.
A. always spoke poor English
B. didn’t show themselves bravely in public
C. didn’t have much money
D. had problem communicating with them
58. By writing the passage, the writer wants the reader _____.
A. to be as humorous as possible
B. to take away the empty slogan
C. not to be too poor or too economical
D. to show ourselves with confidence
C

Mark Twain (1835-1910) –we’ve all heard the name, but what makes him “the father of American literature” as classic US author William Faulkner onc e called him? Mark Twain is someone Americans are taught to love. Older relatives, English teachers and the media always praise him. But when you actually take the time to read The
Adventures of Tom Sawyer, you find that his work is more wonderful than you could’ve ever imagined.
The novel describes a young boy named Tom Sawyer growing up in a small town along the Mississippi River. He explores the countryside on a riverboat with his friends, falls in love with girls, starts secret clubs and searches for tr easure. Twain’s idea of childhood is magical – a time of imagination, wonder and, of course, adventure.
More importantly, through the eyes of Tom Sawyer, Twain cleverly makes fun of US culture. For example, Tom hates going to church, and Twain uses scenes of Tom there to mock religion (宗教) and its old traditions. “Often, the less there is to justify a traditional custom, the harder it is to get rid of it,” he writes in one chapter. Twain’s writing is full of these kinds of critical (批判的) points about culture and politics. That’s why he i s so loved in the US –he wasn’t afraid to state his opinions, and he did so clearly. For instance, Twain didn’t like US wars abroad. In 1900, after the US invaded (入侵) the Philippines, Twain wrote in a newspaper article: “We do not intend to free, but to subjugate (征服) the people of the Philippines… We have gone there to conquer.”He also believed strongly in women’s right to vote in elections and gave a famous speech on the subject, called “Votes for Women”, in 1901.
“Tom was a glittering hero once more –the pet of the old, the envy of the young,” Twain writes in Tom Sawyer. But he could just as well be describing himself. 63. According to the author, after reading The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, you are likely to think _____.
A. it’s even better than you expected
B. it’s as wonderful as you expected
C. it’s better to read it with teachers
D. it’s not worth all the praise
64. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. A brief description of the novel.
B. Where Twain’s idea of childhood comes from.
C. How naughty and adventurous Tom Sawyer is.
D. What makes Tom Sawyer’s adventures so wonderful.
65. What does the underlined word “mock” mean?
A. make changes to
B. make fun of
C. give reasons for
D. give examples of
66. Why is Twain so loved in the US according to the article?
A. He wrote bad things about US wars abroad.
B. He supported women’s right to vote.
C. He criticized American culture and society clearly and cleverly.
D. He showed readers a magical childhood that everyone would love.

When US student Olivia Priedeman, 17, woke up one morning, she thought she had had a dream about making plans with a friend. But it wasn’t a dream. Her phone showed
that during the night, Priedeman had read a text message from her friend. She did it while she was fast asleep.
Reading and responding (反应) to text messages while asleep –called “sleep texting” –is an unusual sleep behavior, similar to sleepwalking. It’s also a growing concern among doctors: young people can’t live without their cell phones. One in three teenagers sends more than 100 text messages a day, according to the Pew Internet & American Life Project. And at least four out of five teenagers said they sleep with their phone on or near their bed.
Elizabeth Dowdell, a professor at Villanova University in Pennsylvania, has studied sleep texting. She said that having a phone nearby all night is a big part of the problem.
“That phone is in bed with them or sometimes on top of their chest when they’re sleeping or even in their hand. So the response is kind of automatic (自动的),” she said.
An drew Stiehm, a sleep medicine expert with Allina Health in Minnesota, agrees. It’s possible for the part of the brain that controls motor (运动神经) skills to wake up, while the part of the brain that controls memory and judgment may remain asleep. That’s why some people can perform basic movements – such as walking, talking, texting or even driving –while they’re sleeping.
Some of Dowdell’s students have admitted that they’re disturbed by their nighttime texting behavior. But because sleep texting is unconscious (无意识的), it’s a difficult habit to break.
Dowdell said she knows of some students who wear socks on their hands to keep themselves from texting.
Marjorie Hogan, a doctor at Hennepin County Medical Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota, suggests keeping all electronic devices outside the bedroom at certain times. Shay Radhakrishnan, 16, admits that she sleeps with her phone. But now the practice is giving her some pause (停顿).
“A lot of people leave their phones on their side tables, but for some reason I leave mine on my bed,” she said. “It is probably dangerous because it will probably wake me up a lot more –and probably cause me to start sleep texting.”
67. What happened to Olivia Priedeman?
A. She sleepwalked to a friend’s house.
B. She phoned one of her friends during the night.
C. She dreamed of making plans with a friend.
D. She read a text message from her friend while asleep.
68. How does sleep texting happen?
A. Some parts of the body are out of control during sleep.
B. The brain part controlling motor skills wakes up during sleep.
C. The brain part controlling judgment stays awake during sleep.
D. The brain part controlling memory becomes unconscious during sleep.
69. What does doctor Hogan suggest people who sleep text do?
A. Stop texting during the daytime.
B. Keep their phones out of their bedrooms while they sleep.
C. Take some medicine to control the behavior.
D. Wear socks on their hands to stop themselves from texting.
70. Which of the following statements about sleep texting is TRUE?
A. Sleep t exting can reduce the quality of one’s sleep.
B. It’s easy to break away from a sleep texting habit.
C. Sleep texting does more harm to one’s health than sleepwalking.
D. One in three teenagers has a sleep texting habit.
