Growing up in Singapore and spending a number of years in Britain, I’ve had the pleasure of experiencing Sundays in both countries. How different they are !“ Sun”-day: Friend or enemy?One can easily tell Sundays in Singapore from those in Britain by looking at the relationshipseach country has with the sun.Singapore is a tropical island with rainy and dry seasons. When it rains, it's hot. When it shines, it burns. This is why Singaporeans prefer to spend their time indoors. These days, indoor activities like trampoline(蹦床) are getting popular among young people. They don't hate the sun, but they don’t like it very much either.In Britain, however, sunny days are few and people try to make as much use of them as they can, while was making my way to the library one Sunday. I met a group of college students outside, being bathing in the sun as they wore their beach clothes. I wish I could have joined them.Sunday roastThis is one of the most British things about Britain. It happens every weekend, usually in the late afternoon. It is a meal with roasted potatoes and roasted or boiled vegetables.Of course, we eat lunch and dinner in Singapore on Sundays. But the "British Sunday roast” isn't just about the food. It's also a time to get together with family and friends.One way or another, whether you prefer trampoline or sunbathing Sundays in the do hate their own special charm.34.The underlined sentences tell us Sunday means ____________.A.keeping ourselves busy B holding our breathC. starting a nice weekD. becoming busy soon35.

That is not success.“ How about being able to provide for your family?” A blonde girl named Sandy in the frontsuggested as an answer.“ Now we’re getting closer, “ Mr. Gruber smiled, “ but try thinking about what you need andwhat you want.”“ Getting everything you want.” Tom shouted out an answer again, trying for more laughs.Mr. Gruber sighed(叹气). “ I believe we’ve already talk about excess versus（与……比较success.”“Getting everything you need, but some of what you want” James, sitting in the backwondered aloud.“ Quite right !” Mr. Gruber clapped. “ Success is getting everything you need and some of what you want. The more you get that you want, the more successful you are. You do reach a point where you are living in excess, though.”“ What does this have to do with business?” Tom asked. It seemed if it wasn’t funny, he wasn’t happy.“Well, Tom, think of it this way: the point of business is to make a living to support your family. Once you have properly seen to(确保) your needs, you can then see to getting the extras that you want.”“ What if I don’t have a family?” he continued to be difficult.“Then you have to provide for yourself, a family of one.”“ He has goldfish to think about!” Peter, Tom’s friend, shouted out.“ Then he needs to provide for a family of one with a fishbowl.” Mr. Gruber corrected himself. Tom nodded, satisfied with that answer.“ So in the next nine weeks, were going to study basic business situations, like having a checking account and understanding credit cards(信用卡).”Tom rubbed his hands together excitedly. “ When do we get to start spending?”“ You already are, Tom. You’re spending time with us!” Mr. Gruber laughed. “ Now, let’s see what you guys know aboutcredit cards...”38.Which student didn’t seem to be taking the class seriously?A.TomB.JamesC.PeterD.

Get What You Want B Needs and Wants. C. Try to Get More Money D. How to Live WellDNowadays, the food that you buy comes from many different countries. Have a look in your fridge, and check theorigins(起源) of the food. Perhaps there are apples from California, beef from New Zealand, or potatoes from Egypt. You willprobably be surprised how far food travels to get to your plate. This journey, from “field to plate” is called “food miles.” A food mile is the distance that food travels from the farmer’s field to the person who buys the food. Nowadays, food oftentravels thousands of miles to get to the consume Why is this, and what are the effects(影响) of these long distances?Traditionally farmers sold their food in the local market, so the food didn’t have to travel very far. The consumers also did not travel very far because they went to their local market to buy the food. This was a good system for farmers and consumers. However, there were some disadvantages. For example, consumers could only buy food that farmers produced locally. In addition, they could only get food that was in season. Now, because of modem technology, food comes from all over the world. We do not have to wait for spring or summer to buy strawberries or tomatoes. They are available in winter if we want.Some countries have to import(进口) most of their food. This is because they have difficult climates. The United ArabEmirates (UAE), for example, gets 85% of its food from other countries. Even food made in the UAE often uses imported materials.What’s wrong with “food miles”? Is this not a good way of increasing international trade? I believe these miles are worrying for a number of reasons. First of all, because food travels such long distances, we need more planes; lorries, andships to move the food. This means we use more oil or petrol, so there is more pollution and more global(全球的) warming Inaddition, food that travels a long way is not fresh and usually not very tasty. Tomatoes, for example, are picked early and stored for their long journeys. For this reason, they are usually tasteless when they get to the consumer. Local food has a better taste, and it also reduces the amount of global pollution.We need to buy more local food.42.The underlined word “ available” most probably means “_______ to get”.A.easyB. difficultC.freeD.impossible43. Some countries, like the United Arab Emirates, have to import most of their food because of __________.A. long distances B difficult climatesC. fresh and tasty foodD. modern technology44.

This passage is mainly about _________.A. how local food travels from field to plateB. what “food miles” is and its effectsC. how some countries import their foodD. where different kinds of food come from卷二说明:本卷共四大题，31小题，共计50分。
