A
I left my hometown in London last year and now I have enjoyed working in this small city in China. Learning a foreign language opens you up to the culture and history of a country. So in order to know more about China, I started to learn Chinese.
But at times, I found myself in funny situations. When I greeted strangers in China, they began to talk a lot and very fast. They asked me questions about everything. But all I could do was to look at them with a blank（空白的）face. I had no idea what they were talking about. Were they just being kind, funny or impolite? Many people want to make friends with me. But I am a bit upset when I find out the reason why they need a foreign friend. They say they want to practice t heir English. I don’t need friends like this. I like friends to share my feelings and ideas with.
However, the more Chinese I learn, the more similarities I find it has with English. In English, thick-skinned is to describe a person who doesn’t care for cr iticism (批评). I was surprised to find that houlianpi in Chinese means the same. And both languages share some common idioms (习语). For example, “look on with folded arms” means xiushoupangguan, and “burn the boats” is similar to pofuchenzhou.
I’m still on m y journey to learn Chinese. I believe that sometimes you have the most fun on a journey.
( )46. The writer comes from______. .
A. the UK
B. the USA
C. Australia
D. Canada
( )47. The underlined word “similarities” means“______” in Chinese.
A. 相似点
B.不同点
C. 规律性
D. 重要性
( ) 48.Why do many people want to make friends with the writer.
A. Because they want to practice their Chinese.
B. Because they think that English is interesting.
C. Because they want to practice their English.
D. Because they want to know more about him.
( ) 49.Which of the following is right?
A. He have not enjoyed working in this small city in China.
B. Many people want to make friends with him.
C. There are some similarities between Chinese and English.
D.He is very good at Chinese now, so he doesn’t learn it any more.
B
Listening test is one of the most important parts of the English exam. Here are some tips for you.
Before you start to listen, you need to relax. Don’t be stressed out. And try to read the questions. These questions usually help you understand the conversation or the passage.
Then listen carefully to the first sentence. It usually tells you the main idea of the passage. When you’r e listening, try to do some thinking and take some notes, such as: ☆What happened?
☆When, where, and how?
☆What does the speaker want to tell us?
In this way, you may understand the passage better.
Please remember not to think about one or two words for a long time. When you hear some words you don’t know, don’t spend too much time on them. Very often, you’ll find out what they mean later when you go on with the listening.
( ) 50. This passage mainly talks about_________.
A. tips on listening

We all know that the British people love their manners (礼仪). They are part of their national identity (特性), as well as having fish and chips and complaining about the weather. Recently I read online that they said “sorry” up to eight times a day.
After some research I have not been able to find any specific reasons why they are like this. I suppose, for centuries, manners, including how they behave at table and talk to other people have been one of the differences between the lower and upper classes（上下层阶级）and those manners show their social classes. Britain has traditionally been a quite conservative (保守的) country. There are many articles suggesting that their seemingly polite attitude of always saying “please” and “thank you” is quite false (错误的) because it is impossible for a person to always feel that he or she wants to thank someone or say “please”.
Maybe it is for this reason that people are going one of two ways: they are too polite and hold back(隐瞒) their feelings or they are not polite at all and express their true feelings directly. Some British people are tired of pretending that they are always happy and having to please others. But sometimes because they feel they have to be polite, they are prevented from（阻止）saying what they truly think.
( ) 54. What don’t the British people often do?
A. Eat fish and chips.
B. Have no quite good manners.
C. Be polite to others.
D. Talk about the weather.
( ) 55. What do the British people say up to eight times every day?
A. Hello.
B. Thank you.
C. I don’t know.
D. Sorry. ( ) 56. What does the writer think are the reasons why the British people are so polite?
① The upper classes should have good manners.
② They have learned much about politeness at school.
③ They like to hold back their true feelings.
④ They are not honest at all.
A. ①②
B. ③④
C. ①③
D. ②④
( )57. What does the underlined word “pretending” mean in Chinese?
A. 打算
B. 假装
C. 想象
D. 体验
D
Each country has many good people who help to take care of others. For example, some high school and university students in the United States often spend many hours as volunteers in hospitals and homes for the old. They read books to the people in these places, or they just visit them and play games with them or listen to their problems.
Other young volunteers go and work in the homes of people who are sick. They clean up or do their shopping. For boys who don’t have fathers, there is an organization called Big Brothers. University students and other men take these boys to games and help them to get to know things that boys usually learn from their fathers.
Each city has a lot of clubs where boys and girls can go to play games or take part in other activities. Some of these clubs show movies or have short trips to the mountains, the beaches or museums. Most of these clubs use a lot of high school and university students as volunteers because they are young enough to remember the problems of younger boys and girls.
V olunteers believe that some of the happiest people in the world are those who help to bring happiness to others.
( ) 58. The volunteers do all the following except _________.
A. reading books to the people in hospital.
B. performing plays for the people .
C. listening to people’s problems .
D. playing games with people.
( ) 59. Where can you often find volunteers in the United States?
A .At a bus stop B. In a park. C. In a hospital. D. In a school. ( ) 60. What is Big Brothers?
A. It’s the name of a club.
B. It’s the home for children who have no brothers.
C. It’s an organization for boys who don’t have fathers.
D. It’s a school.
( ) 61. What might be the best title for the passage?
A. The clubs in the United States.
B. The students in the United States.
C. The volunteer work in the United States.
D. The workers in the United States.

Thumbs Down to Texting 屈指发短信
Do you have a mobile phone? Do you send text messages to your friends and family?Text messaging or “texting”, is becoming very popular. But, scientists have discovered that texting can give us problems with our hands. Be careful! Too much texting can cause swelling（肿胀）in our thumbs（拇指）. Our thumbs were not made for pushing small buttons（按钮）, over and over. Scientists call his problem RSI（重复性紧张劳损）. We spoke to a doctor called Harriet Wilson, who treats many sick people with RSI. She says we need to see how much time we are spending in typing text messages. If we are spending more than 10-15 minutes at once, we could have problems in the future. As mobile phones develop, they are getting smaller with buttons closer together. Texting with a smaller phone is worse than using a larger phone with bigger buttons. Using a computer keyboard and playing video games can cause the same problem. So more and more people could find themselves with RSI. Among them, most are university students and teenagers, as they do not know the risks of spending so much time using computers, video games and mobile phones. If we don’t do something about this, too many young people could grow up in terribl e pain
76. What is becoming very popular now?(no more than 3 words)
77. Does the word “once” mean “one time” in the passage? ( no more than 3 words)
78. What kind of people are easier to have the problem of RSI? (no more than 4 words)
79. What can also cause RSI except texting?(no more than 8 words)
80. Which is easier to cause the problem of RSI, using smaller mobile phones or larger ones? (no more than 4 words)
