阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A，B，C和D）中，选出最佳选项.。

A
Modern life is impossible without traveling. The fastest way of traveling is by air. With a modern airliner you can travel in one day to places which it took a month or more to get to a hundred years ago.
Traveling by train is slower than by air, but it has its own advantages. For example, you can see the country you are traveling through. Besides,the modern train has comfortable seats and dining cars. It makes even the longest journey enjoyable and comfortable.
Some people prefer to travel by sea when possible. There are large liners and river boats. You can visit many other countries and different places. Traveling by sea is a very pleasant way to spend a holiday.
Many people like to travel by car. You can make your own timetable. You can travel three or four hundred miles or only fifty or one hundred miles a day, just as you like. You can stop wherever you wish—where there is something interesting to see, at a good restaurant where you can enjoy a good meal, or at a hotel to spend the night. That is why traveling by car is popular for pleasure trips, while people usually take a train or a plane when they are traveling on business.
21. From the passage, we know the fastest way of traveling is .
A. by car
B. by train
C. by air
D. by sea
22. If we travel by car, we can .
A. make the longest journey enjoyable
B. make our own timetable
C. travel to a very far place in several minutes
D. travel only fifty or one hundred miles a day
23. The underlined word “It”in the second paragraph refers to .
A. the modern train in the country
B.the comfortable seat or dining car
C. the traveler on the modern train
D. the slower way of traveling
B
ORTOTROT? I heard that word while studying in Australia. It is a local language for “Are you ready (to go)?”. And at Sydney Airport, I asked the way to the train station and a man told me “Go ask that “bloke”over there.”“Bloke”is used in Australia and refers to a person. “Day”and “die”sound almost alike and since “a”, “i”and “o”all sound almost the same, I have always told my Australian friends, jokingly, that they only need 24 letters, and not 26 like the rest of us do.
Australian English began to be different from British English in 1788 and has many words that some consider unique (独特的) to the language, such as outback, meaning a remote, sparsely-populated (人口稀少的) area. Early settlers from England brought other similar words, phrases and usages to Australia. “Bonzer”, which was once a common Australian word meaning “great”or “beautiful”, is thought to have been an American term. The American influence on language in Australia has come from pop culture, the mass media (books, magazines and television programmes) and the Internet. Australian English is most similar to New Zealand English for their similar history.
Words of Irish origin are used, some of which are also common elsewhere in Irish, such as “tucker”for “food”. Some native English words whose meanings have changed under Irish
influence, such as “paddock”for “field”, which has exactly the same meaning as the Australian “paddock”are still in use.
24. According to the passage, we know Australian English .
A. has special characters
B. is a kind of old language
C. is very difficult to learn
D. is the same as British English
25. Why did the writer tell his Australian friends they only need 24 letters?
A. Because Australians never use “a”or “i”.
B. Because Australians speak very easy English.
C. Because there are 3 letters having similar pronunciation.
D. Because there are some different ways to call the same thing.
26. Australian English is most similar to New Zealand English because .
A. they learn from each other
B. they have similar history
C. the two countries have the same political system
D. people from the two countries often travel to each other’s country
27. The American influence on Australian English comes from the following EXCEPT .
A. pop culture
B. the Internet
C. computer software
D. the mass media
C
How to Study Smarter, Not Harder
Here are some of our favorite study tips that will help any student study smarter, not harder:
Recite As You Study
Reciting—saying things out loud should first take place as you read through each paragraph or section. Test yourself. This will help you to understand as well as learn faster because it is more active than reading or listening. It will also help you to notice your mistakes and the topics you have trouble understanding.
Take Fuller Notes
Notes should be in your own words, brief and clear. They should be tidy and easy to read. Writing notes will help you better than just underlining as you read, since it forces you to rewrite ideas in your own words.
Study the Middle
The best time to review is soon after you’ve learned something. You are more likely to remember the material at the beginning and the end of the lesson, so make sure you focus on the middle when you review.
Sleep On It
Study before going to bed, unless you are very tired. It’s easier to remember material you have just learned after sleeping than after an equal period of daytime activity, because your brain continues to think even after you’ve fallen asleep.
Combine(结合) Memory and Understanding
There are two ways to remember: by memorizing and by understanding. Multiplication tables, telephone numbers, and math formulas are better learned by rote. Ideas are best learned by understanding.
The more ways you have to think about an idea, the more meaning it will have; the more
meaningful the learning, the better you can remember it. Pay attention to similarities in ideas and concepts, and then try to understand how they fit in with things you already know. Never be satisfied with anything less than a completely clear understanding of what you are reading. If you are not able to follow the thought, go back to the place where you first got confused and try again.
28 You can notice your mistakes by .
A. studying the middle
B. taking notes
C. speaking things out aloud
D. sleeping on it
29. When taking notes, you should to better help you with reading.
A. underline important notes
B. write as quickly as possible
C. take down every detail
D. write notes in your own words
30. The writer advises you to as it is easier for you to remember material.
A. study before going to sleep
B. do some exercise after studying
C. study as soon as you get up
D. study after a period of activity
31. Which of the following is NOT helpful for your understanding?
A. Thinking about an idea in different ways.
B. Reading from the beginning to the end without stop.
C. Relating ideas and concepts with what you already know.
D. Going back to what first made you confused and start again.
D

Dear Mr Wang,
I’m very excited to write to express my thanks to you. I am now studying in No. 1 Senior School, which I have been dreaming of. Recently I am always remembering the days when you were with us. Your classes are lively and interesting. My English has improved greatly because of your creative work.
At one time, however, the pressure of examinations, too much homework and the high expectations from the parents made me depressed. I was tired of the warning that if I didn’t do my best, I wouldn’t have the c hance to go to the key school. Thank you for your encouragement and patience; if not, I wouldn’t have realized my dream. And now I really appreciate your help. I hope more and more of your students will go to their ideal schools.
Miss you! I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.

●Some time ago, a friend of mine who worked in a part of the city I didn't know very well,
invited me to call on him. It took me hours to get there and I took great trouble to find a proper spot to park my car. As I was already three－quarters of an hour late, I parked my car quickly.
●At noon, just as I was leaving my friend's office, it suddenly struck me that I had no idea
where I had parked my car. I could hardly go up to a policeman and tell him that I had lost a small green car somewhere! Walking down street after street, I examined each car closely and was very happy to see a small green car just behind an old car. But how disappointed I was to discover that though the car was exactly like my own, it belonged to someone else!
Feeling quite tired now, I went off for lunch. Some time later, I left the restaurant and walked down the street. Turning the corner, I nearly jumped for joy: my car was right in front of me, and there was no problem this time.
●To tell the truth, driving in crowded cities is far from being a pleasure and it is much easier to
walk than to drive.
