On Jan 23, 2012, I was aboard a ship on the Yangtze River, listening to the sound of fireworks and eating plate after plate of dumplings.
On Sunday Feb 10, 2013, I was preparing to celebrate Chinese New Year again —in London’s Chinatown.
It was raining. It was cold. But ever since I left Beijing in August, I had promised myself I would celebrate Chinese New Year –if only to help with my Beijing “homesickness”.
Central London was dressed up for the occasion. There was a stage for a big fireworks display for the evening. Even so, it wasn’t like my real Beijing Chunjie.
Even buying a jiaozi didn’t cheer me up. It cost about 10 times as much as the real thing does in Beijing and got stuck to its rain-ruined paper bag.
Cold, wet and depressed, I ran into a shop for shelter. Suddenly, there it was. Between the packets of dried meat and fish, the bags of rice and the smell of dried noodles in this little Chinese supermarket, I had found home.
An hour later, I hurried into my house with bags of frozen jiaozi, packets of sauce and a large bottle of vinegar. I boiled water, tore open the packets, grabbed my chopsticks and settled down to a feast. This, I thought, is a Happy Chinese New Year.
I even watched the fireworks on TV. After all, why face the British weather when I can bring China home in one bite?
36. We can conclude from the first three paragraphs that the author ______.
A .likes watching fireworks on the boat B. misses Chinese food more than anything else
C .finds it great fun to celebrate Chinese New Year
D .misses her life in Beijing very much
37.How did the author feel when she found some Chinese foods in a supermarket?
A. a little curious B .rather tired C. a bit comfortable D. very depressed
38.Why did the author watch the fireworks on TV?
A. She didn’t want to get wet and cold again.
B. The square is far away from where she lives.
C. She doesn’t like fireworks very much. D .She was too hungry to go out.
39.What is the best title of the passage?
A .Unforgettable Chunjie in Beijing B. Wonderful Experience in Britain
C .Finding Home in London D. Festival in London
B

Childhood was an illusion (错觉）and the illusion was this: everything was bigger. No, I mean
everything, not just houses and shops and grown-ups, but colors and flowers and journeys, especially journeys which seemed endless. “Are we there yet, Daddy?”
Funfairs (游乐场) were huge things that spread for miles around you with noise and lights and exciting danger. Rainy days at home when you were ill seemed to last for ever. Being a grown-up yourself was an unthinkable distant possibility. Every sound was louder, every game was grander, every pain unbearable.
As I’ve grown old, life has become smaller. Tastes have dulled. Surprises have turned into shocks. Days go by unnoticed. How can I regain childhood when it was an illusion?
I have only one repeatable and wonderful way and even in this way I can regain only part of that larger world. I can play upon the stage like a child and make the crowd laugh and laugh with them, sometimes helplessly like a child, and then, even though I’m a sixty-one-year-old man, I can almost catch the colors and sounds and stillness of those bigger years when I was little.
44. How does the author feel about his childhood?
A. It was endless.
B. It was unpleasant.
C. He is glad that it is over. D He misses it as a grown-up.
45. The author thinks that everything was bigger in childhood because ________.
A. children could not make proper judgments
B. children were curious and eager about life
C .things appeared really big in children’s eyes
D .to grow up seemed so long for children

A. life is disappointing B .time goes by too fast
C. he has had too many surprises
D. foods no longer taste delicious
47. The author enjoys playing on the stage so as to _______.
A. act like a child
B. live an unusual life C .make the crowd laugh D .regain his childhood
D

Of all my teachers, Mr. Zhang is the one who impresses me most. Though he is 40, but he looks very younger for his age. He’s one of the most popular teacher in our school. Comparing with other teachers, Mr. Zhang pays more attention to his methods of teaching. He tries many ways of make his classes lively and interesting. In her opinion, we should not only know “what” but also understood “why”. So, instead of giving us answers immediate, he encourages us think by ourselves first. With his help, we’ve learned how to analyze and solve pr oblems. What a wonderful world of “why” he leads us to! He is so an excellent person that we all admire him very much.

作文范文：
In China, children are the centre of each family . All parents wish their children, especially senior high students, could go to top universities and have a bright future. So all the children are always expected to make full use of their time to study .They are not allowed to watch TV, play the computer games or go out to play with their friends .
Some students just complain that their parents are only concerned about their grades and not their other needs. They wish to have their own time to watch TV or surf the Internet. They also hope to chat or play with their friends.
In my opinion, our parents are responsible for us. Perhaps out of nothing but love, they are sometimes too strict with us. But I think we should learn to communicate with them, telling them that we’ll work harder and will never let them down. Only by doing this will we earn trust and respect from them.。
