Last year, I went to Belgium from the UK to teach English. It was interesting and I 1 that there are some big differences in schools between Belgium and the UK.
In the UK, students 2 wear school uniform（校服）. I think it’s good. This is why. If students all wear the same clothes, they will feel less excluded (被排斥的) because everyone 3 the same. Also it is nice to wear school uniform because you don’t have to 4 what to wear in the morning. This saves a lot of time. 5 , the students in Belgium don’t wear school uniform.
Another difference I found is also about 6 . Teachers dress in a more relaxed way in Belgium. They wear jeans and sports shoes, for example. In the UK, 7 always dress much more orally ( 正式地）to work in a school.
As I worked with older students aged from 16 to 18. I 8 noticed that they had a lot more subjects than I did at their age. In the UK, at 16 you enter "sixth form" and you have to 9 only three to four subjects. Some people like this. But others feel that it is too 10 to make such a big choice, because the subjects you choose will have an impact（影响）on what you can study at university.
1．A．wished B．suggested C．noticed D．promised
2．A．must B．mustn’t C．may D．can't
3．A．hears B．feels C．looks D．shows
4．A．set up B．put away. C．point at D．think about
5．A．Finally B．However C．Later D．Suddenly
6．A．clothes B．food C．festivals D．weather
7．A．pupils B．coaches C．teachers D．drivers
8．A．never B．also C．sometimes D．only
9．A．remember B．lose C．compare D．choose
10．A．early B．busy C．old D．rude
Ⅲ. 语法填空
12、I knew we needed to find that shoe, for our mother couldn’t afford new shoes. I had to go back to find it, so I told my sister to wait right1．.
A man heard it and stopped me just2．I walked off. He asked me, “You are leaving your sister here to find the shoe? What would you do if she is not here when you return?” I didn’t know how to answer that question. He3．, “It’s OK if
you can’t find the shoe, but it is not OK to lose your sister.” Then he sent us to mum’s workplace by taxi.
During my whole life I have depended on the kindness of many strangers, I feel sorry that I can’t find them and say
‘thank you’. I do not even remember what their face s4．, but they taught me a lesson --- people are more important than things.

The common Chinese greeting of “Ni chi le ma?” may soon be replaced(代替) by a new greeting: “Have you cleaned your plate?”
The Clean Y our Plate Campaign began on the Internet in January, 2013. It calls on people to reduce food waste. China in recent years has experienced serious problems with wasted food. CCTV reported in January that the food Chinese people waste every year is enough to feed 200 million people for a year.
Chinese people are well-known for their friendly behavior towards guests. Many even feel that they lose face if their guests have eaten all the food.
It’s important for everyone to reduce food waste. However, wasting food is still a serious problem in China. We still have a long way to go.

15、Deep in the forest of southeastern Mexico, scientists found a surprise. They found an ancient pyramid. There were colorful murals (壁画）in it. A mural is a painting on a wall. Those murals are helping scientists unlock a mystery about people who lived in ancient times.
The murals are about 1,350 years old. That’s more than five times older than the United States. Scientists say the paintings belonged to the Mayas. That was a group of Native American people. They lived many years ago in what is now Mexico and Central America.
Scientists are excited about the discovery because they don’t know much about the Mayas’ daily life, explains Michael Coe, an expert on the Mayas. The paintings show how the Mayas worked, shopped and dined. One mural shows a man drinking from a bowl. Another shows a woman selling food to a crowd of people.
“Mostly we get the murals that show gods and kings, never anything about the daily life,” Coe said.“This is like walking into a Maya supermarket.” So far, scientists have found more than 30 murals in the pyramid. They are not sure why the Mayas created them. The experts hope to learn more as they continue their search.
“We never had anything like this before,” said Coe. “These are really special murals.”
Scientists learned a lot about the Mayas from the murals. The Mayas were known for more than paintings. Now the
murals tell us some fun facts about the Mayan way of life.
Sweet Home
The Mayas lived in what is now Central and North America. Today the area includes parts of Mexico, Belize, Guatemala, and Honduras.
Smart Starts
The Mayas invented a type of Maths. They also created a type of writing that used symbols or pictures. Mayas used bark (树皮)to make books.
_____
The Mayas often ate com and used it to make other foods. They grew many crops (庄稼), including beans and sweet potatoes.
Cool Clothes
Mayan men dressed themselves up with some cloth while women wore long dresses. Rich Mayas wore jewelry (珠宝).
1．Which of the following is shown on one of the Mayan murals?
A．A Mayan king and his family. B．A Mayan woman selling food.
C．A crowd of people drinking water. D．A Mayan man using bark to make books.
2．What can we know according to Michael Coe?
A．The murals show gods and kings. B．The Mayas lived in a very hot area of the USA．
C．The murals show scenes of Mayan everyday life. D．The Mayas created the murals because of a festival. 3．What can be put back into the blank?

16、阅读理解
You may not realize it, but you are doing much more than just studying when you are at school. School is also the place where you learn to get on well with people. But this is not always easy. What can you do if you just don’t like one of your classmates?
If you discover that you have problems getting on with your classmates or friends, the most important thing to learn is tolerance. Tolerance is the ability to realize and respect the differences in others. We can not change the way that other
people do, so it is important to learn to live happily with them.
Tolerance will make everyone get on better with each other. Getting to know someone may help you understand why they do things differently. Something different does not exactly mean that it is bad. Tolerance teaches us to keep atemperateand open mind.
You need to remember an old saying, “Treat others how you want to be treated”. If you tolerate something, it does not mean that you have to like it. No one is asking you to change who you are or what you believe in. Tolerance just means that you should respect the differences in others and not try to make them change.
It is important to practice tolerance, because it will make everyone’s life easier. Learn to accept people for their differen t abilities and interests. The world is very different, and practicing tolerance in your own school and city can help make a difference.
1．This passage is trying to tell us_______.
A．what’s important for a student
B．what students should do at school
C．how to treat people different from us
D．how to get others to do things in the right way
2．From the first paragraph we know that at school ________.
A．it’s easier for someone to hate others
B．getting along with others is not a great deal
C．most students are getting on well with each other
D．students are learning other things besides studying
3．What is tolerance according to the passage?
A．Accept people as they are.
B．Believe you are always right.
C．Expect everybody to be the same.
D．Change yourself to please other people.
4．Which is the closest in meaning to the underlined word in Paragraph 3?

17、Millions of British people haveditched the traditional “thank you” and took the place of it with the less formal “cheers”, according to a survey.
Although the common person will say “thank you” nearly 5,000 times a year, one in three are more likely to add a “cheers” or “ta” where it’s needed to show they are fashionable.
One in twenty now say “nice one” instead, while the younger are more likely to offer a “cool” than a “thank you”.“Merci”, “fab” and even “gracias” were also listed as common phrases to use, as “much appreciated(感激)”.
One in twenty who took part in the survey of 2,000 people by the Food Network UK for Thank You Day, which is
mar ked on November 24, 2011, said a formal “thank you” was now not often needed in everyday conversation. More than one in ten adults said they regularly won’t say thank you if they are in a bad mood. Most people stated that saying thank you was something that their parents trained them. A huge 70 percent of those questioned will say thank you to a person’s face without even meaning it, while one fifth avoid(避免)saying it when they know they should.
It seems our friends and family get the stress of our bad manners. Half of them admit (承认) they’re not good at thanking those closest to them. Many of them explain that they don’t say thank you because their family “already know I’m grateful”.
When spoken words won’t do, it falls to a nice text to do the job for most people.
One third will still send a handwritten thank-you note---but 45 percent admit it’s been more than six months since they tried to send one.
A quarter of British people say “thank you” with food, with 23 percent cooking a meal to show their apprec iation to someone. Another 15 percent bake a cake.
It follows that 85 percent of people will be angry because of not getting the gratitude (感激)
they feel they should receive.
1．（小题1）Most of the people who took part in the survey say that they say “thank you” _______.
A．when they are in good mood
B．completely out of habit
C．when they feel truly grateful
D．purely out of politeness
2．（小题2）The underlined word “ditched” in Paragraph 1 means “________”.
A．gave up B．used
C．shared D．knew
3．（小题3）It can be learned from the passage that _______.
A．different ways of expressing gratitude are all fashionable
B．people should avoid saying “thank you” nowadays
C．a thank-you note is still appreciated by most people
D．people in a bad mood never say “thank you”
4．（小题4）Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．Most people express their gratitude to others by buying food for them.
B．About fifty percent of people try not to say thank you when they should.
C．Most people may feel natural when they fail to rece ive others’ gratitude.
D．Many people think it unnecessary to say thanks to their family members.

18、Architects(建筑师) have long had the feeling that the places we live in can affect our thoughts, feelings and behaviors. But now scientists are giving this feeling an empirical basis(实证依据). They are discovering how to design spaces that develop creativity, keep people focused, and lead to relaxation.
Researches show that the physical environment can influence creativity. In 2007, Joan Meyers-Levy at the
U niversity of Minnesota, reported that the height of a room’s ceiling affects how people think. Her research suggests that higher ceilings encourage people to think more freely, which may lead them to make more abstract connections. Low ceilings, on the other hand, may inspire a more detailed outlook.
In addition to ceiling height, the view afforded by a building may influence the owner’s ability to concentrate. Nancy Wells and her colleagues at Cornell University found in their study that kids who experienced the greatest increase in greenness as a result of a family move made the most gains on a standard test of attention.
Using nature to improve focus of attention ought to pay off academically(学术地), and it seems to, according to a study led by C．Kenneth Tanner, head of the School Design & Planning Laboratory at the University of Georgia. Tanner and his team found that students in classrooms with unblocked views of at least 50 feet outside the window had higher scores on tests of vocabulary, language arts and maths than did students whose classrooms mainly overlooked roads and parking lots.
Recent study on room lighting design suggests that dim light helps people to loosen up. If that is true generally, keeping the light low during dinner or at parties could increase relaxation. Researchers of Harvard Medical School also discovered that furniture with rounded edges could help visitors relax.
So far scientists have focused mainly on public buildings. “We have a very limited number of studies, so we’re almost looking at the problem through a straw(吸管),” architect David Allison says. “How do you take answers to very
specific questions and make broad, generalized use of them? That’s what we’re all struggling with.”
1．What does Joan Meyers-Levy focus on in her research?
A．The height of the ceiling. B．The freedom of people.
C．The outlook of environment. D．The shape of the furniture.
2．What can we infer from the fourth paragraph?
A．The classroom with roads around can be filled with more students.
B．The students in large classrooms can pay more attention on maths.
C．The views outside the window may affect the students’ grades.
D．The researchers in the University of Georgia may get higher scores.
3．What can we learn from the passage?
A．Test standards may encourage people to search more.
B．Students in a bright classroom may feel more relaxed.
C．Children in greenness may improve their grades quickly.
D．Room designs may influence people’s work and feelings.
