Buses offer the added advantage of being able to see various areas of Manhattan While you ride.How Much Does the Bus Cost?Fare is $2.25 and can be paid with a MetroCard or coins (no dollar bills, no pennies).A free transfer to another bus or the subway within 2 hours is available if you paid with a MetroCard.If you pay cash you can ask for a transfer, but it is only good for transferringto another bus (not to the subway) within 2 hours.Getting On and Off the BusYou must wait for buses at designated (指定的) bus stops.As you see the bus approaching your stops, you can put your arm out to indicate to the driver that you want to board the bus.Enter the bus through the front doors and pay your fare.Take a seat or move toward the back of the bus to make room for other people boarding the bus.To request a stop: Pull the cord or press the black band near the windows. A “Stop Requested” light will be on immediately at the front of the bus.36. Compared with buses, the subway for traveling around New York City is likely to be__________.A) fasterB) slowerC) more expensiveD) more convenient37.

To ask for a stop while riding a bus, you may __________.A) raise your handB) move toward the front doorC) press the black band near the windowsD) turn off th e “Stop Requested” light immediatelyTask 2Marketing furniture to the public can be challenging for a small business owner. Consumers buy furniture pieces only occasionally. However, there are severalfurniture promotion ideas that can be used to help you reach your target market. One thing you can do is to talk with real estate (房地产) agents to allow you to display your furniture in a new home or open house setting. This is a good way to reach a key target market – new home buyers – who may need new furniture for their future homes. Increasing foot traffic (顾客流量) is also important for a furniture store. To get more people to the store, you can advertise a raffle event (抽奖活动). This event can be promoted in your local media and through direct mail campaigns or front door advertisements to generate more interest.In tough economic times, small business owners often suffer most as a result of slow consumer spending. To fight back against this, you have to make it easier of your customers to buy furniture. If you can, offer in-store financing, or drop the interest rate on your company’s credit terms, Consider lowering your prices and holding two-for-one events to arouse more consumer interest.41. Why is it a challenge for small businesses to sell furniture to the public？A) The style of furniture changes fast.B) Their furniture is often old-fashioned.C) People buy furniture only occasionally.D) The public’s taste for furniture is different.42. According to the writer, it is a good way for small business owners to sell their furniture by.A) improving after-sales serviceB) reducing the advertising expensesC) providing free delivery of furnitureD) displaying the furniture in a new home43. To get more customers to your store, you are advised to.A) advertise a raffle eventB) visit your local customersC) have longer business hoursD) improve local traffic conditions44. The purpose of holding two-for-one events is to.A) offer in-store financingB) lower the furniture’s costC) attract consumers’ interestD) reduce the advertising budget45. The passage is mainly about.A) furniture designingB) furniture promotionC) furniture store decorationD) furniture production processTask 3Welcome to is the UK’s leading internet bookseller.

The girl who attempted to （） suicide was saved by the police.A. DoB. makeC. commitD. use17. I came across an old country guide the other day. It listed all the tradesmen in each village in my part of the country, and it was impressive to see the great variety of services which were available on one'''' s own doorstep in the late Victorian countryside. Nowadays a superficial traveller in rural England might conclude that the village tradesmen still flourishing were either selling frozen food to the inhabitants or selling antiques to visitors. Nevertheless, this would really be a false impression. Admittedly there has been a contraction （收缩） of village commerce, but its vigor is still remarkable.Our local grocer''''s shop, for example, is actually expanding inspite of the competition from supermarkets in the nearest town. Women sensibly prefer to go there and exchange the local news while doing their shopping, instead of queuing （排队） up at a supermarket. And the proprietor （店主） knows well that personal service has a substantial cash value.His prices may be a bit higher than those in the town, but he will deliver anything at any time. His assistants think nothing ofbicycling on the village street in their lunch hour to take a pieceof cheese to an old age pensioner （领养老金） who sent her order by word of mouth with a friend who happened to be passing. The more affluent customers telephone their shopping lists and the goods areon their doorsteps within an hour. They have only to hint at a fancy for some commodity outside the usual stock and the grocer, a red-faced figure, instantly obtains it for them.The village gains from this sort of enterprise, of course. But I also find it satisfactory because a village shop offers one of the few ways in which a modest individualist can still get along in the world without attaching himself to the big battalions of industry or commerce. The writer implies that one disadvantage of town shops is that __.A. their prices are higherB. people cannot telephone themC. their staff may make less trouble to satisfy customersD. one has 10 queue up to pay in them18. Great changes ( ) in China since 1978.A. have been taken placeB. have taken placeC. has been taken placeD. has taken place19. He wore dark glasses to avoid _____.A. having been spottedB. to be spottedC. spottedD. being spotted20. From time to time she looked round ( ) searching for someone.A. as toB. asC. as forD. as if21. A man walked into a restaurant that advertised having the longest menu in the world. The manager was very proud of being able to provide any dish, no matter how unusual.At the bottom of the menu, there was a notice that said, “If you do not see the dish you require on this menu, please tell us and we will add it to the menu immediately.”The man looked at the menu and decided to make life really difficult for the manager and his chef. He would order something that was very unusual.When the waiter came up to take his order, he said, “You say you can serve any dish, anything at all, even if it''''s not on your menu, which is the longest menu in the world.”“That is correct, sir. We have never yet been unable to meet our customers'''' requirem ents.”“Very well,” the man said. “In that case, bring me two elephant ears on toast. Indian, not African.”The waiter wrote down on his pad：Two Indian elephant ears on toast. “Very good, sir”, he said. “That shouldn''''t take long. ”He walked away quickly.The man was very surprised and rather disappointed.Then he smiled as the waiter returned with a very unhappy look on his face.“Ah! ”the man said. “You can’t bring me elephant ears on toast, can you? ”The waiter was very apologetic.“I’m very sorry, sir, and this is most embarrassing, ” he said, “but I’m afraid we can’t. Unfortunately, we’ve run out ofbread. ” the waiter was unhappy because _____ .A. the man didn''''t order elephant earsB. they had no elephant to cookC. they didn''''t want to serve the customerD. the chef didn''''t know how to cook the elephant ears22.

2012年6月英语三级作文真题答案

2012年6月英语三级作文真题答案全文共3篇示例，供读者参考篇12012年6月英语三级作文真题答案Part I Writing (30 minutes)Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic: Challenges and Opportunities of Globalization. You should write at least 150 words following the outline given below in Chinese:1.全球化给我们的生活带来了很多挑战和机遇2.就全球化给我们带来的挑战和机遇分别谈谈你的看法Challenges and Opportunities of GlobalizationIn recent years, globalization has become an increasingly prominent phenomenon in our lives. On the one hand, it has brought about numerous challenges, while on the other hand, it has also created various opportunities for individuals, societies, and businesses around the world.One of the main challenges of globalization is the competition it creates in the job market. With the ease ofcommunication and transportation, companies can now easily outsource jobs to countries with lower labor costs, resulting in unemployment and job insecurity for workers in developed countries. Additionally, globalization has also led to the homogenization of cultures, as Western values and lifestyles are increasingly dominating the global market.However, globalization also presents many opportunities for individuals and businesses. For instance, it has facilitated the exchange of ideas, knowledge, and technology across borders, leading to innovation and collaboration on a global scale. In addition, globalization has opened up new markets and opportunities for businesses to expand their operations and reach a larger audience.In conclusion, while globalization poses various challenges, such as job competition and cultural homogenization, it also offers numerous opportunities for individuals and businesses to thrive in a globalized world. It is important for us to adapt to the changes brought about by globalization and take advantage of the opportunities it presents to create a more interconnected and prosperous global community.篇2Title: 2012 June English Level 3 Writing Test Answer KeyIntroduction:The English Level 3 writing test in June 2012 was considered by many as challenging yet rewarding.

However, I believe that it is better for children to grow up in the countryside for several reasons.Firstly, the countryside provides a more peaceful and quiet environment for children to grow up in. In the countryside,children can enjoy the fresh air, the beautiful scenery, and the sounds of nature. This can help children to relax, reduce stress, and improve their overall well-being.Secondly, growing up in the countryside can help children develop a stronger connection to nature. Children who grow up in the countryside are more likely to appreciate the beauty of the natural world, and to develop a sense of responsibility towards the environment.Finally, the countryside offers children more space to play and explore. In the countryside, children can run freely, play in the fields, and explore the woods. This can help children develop their physical abilities, creativity, and social skills.In conclusion, I believe that growing up in the countryside is better for children because it provides a peaceful environment, helps children develop a connection to nature, and offers more space for play and exploration.。

In a number of Europeancountries，people can turn on their TVs and shop for clothes，jewelry，food，toys，and many other things. Teleshopping is becoming popular in Sweden，for example.The biggest Swedish company sells different kinds of things on TV in 15 Europeancountries，and in one year it made $100 million. In France there are two teleshopping channels，and the French spend about $20 million a year to buy things through those channels. In Germany，until last year teleshopping was only possible on one channel for 1 hour every day. Then the government allowed more teleshopping. Otherchannels can open for telebusiness，including the largest American teleshoppingcompany and a 24-hour teleshopping company. German businesses are hoping thisnew teleshopping will help them sell more things. Some people like teleshoppingbecause it allows them to do their shopping without leaving their homes. With all theproblems of traffic in the cities，this is an important reason. But at the same time，other Europeans do not like this new way of shopping. They can do teleshopping "junk onthe air". Many Europeans usually worry about the quality of the things for sale on TV.Good quality is important to them，and they believe they cannot be sure about thequality of the things on TV. The need for high quality means that Europeanteleshopping companies will have to be different from the American companies. Theywill have to be more careful about the quality of the things they sell. They will also have to work harder to sell things that the buyers cannot touch or see in person.(1)、Teleshopping is cheap in Europe.所选答案： B. F问题12得2 分，满分2 分(2)、People like teleshopping because it is easier.所选答案： A. T(3)、Some Europeans don't like teleshopping because they don't watch TV.所选答案： B. F(4)、In Germany，teleshopping may have fewer buyers.所选答案： B. F(5)、The best title of this passage is " Teleshopping in Europe" . 所选答案： A. T2、A new study suggests that the more teenagers watch television, the more likely they are to develop depression as young adults. But the extent to which TV may or may not be to blame is a question that the study leaves unanswered. The researchers used a national long-term survey of adolescent health to investigate the relationship between media use and depression. They based their findings on more than four thousand adolescents who were not depressed when the survey began in 1995. As part of the survey, the young people were asked how many hours of television or videos they watched daily. They were also asked how often they played computer games and listened to the radio. Media use totaled an average of 5.5 hours a day. More than 2 hours of that was spent watching TV. Seven years later, in 2002, more than 7 percent of the young people had signs of depression. The average age at that time was 21. Brian Primack at the University of Pittsburgh medical school was the lead author of the new study. He says every extra hour of television meant an 8 percent increase in the chances of developing signs of depression. The researchers say they did not find any such relationship with the use of other media such as movies, video games or radio. But the study did find that young men were more likely than young women to develop depression, given the same amount of media use. Doctor Primack says the study did not explore if watching TV causes depression.

The sensors will work through the central home computer, and they will do much more than just turn the fires and lights on and off for you. They will detect faulty electrical appliances, isolate them so that they cannot harm anyone, and then warn you that they need repair. They will detect fire and if you are out of the house, the computer will call the firemen. It will also call the police, should the sensors detect an intruder（非法闯入者）.

T4、How men first learnt to invent words is unknown; in other words, the origin of language is a mystery. All we really know is that men, unlike animals, somehow invented certain sounds to express thought and feelings, actions and things, so that they couldcommunicate with each other; and that later they agreed upon certain signs, calledletters, which could be combined to present those sounds, and which could be writtendown. Those sounds, whether spoken or written in letters, we call words. The power of words, then, lies in their associations - the things they bring up before our minds.Words become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we live, themore certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past; and the more weread and learn, the more the number of words that mean something increases. Greatwriters are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully to our minds and emotions. This charming and tellinguse of words is what we call literary style. Above all, the real poet is a master of words.He can convey his meaning in words which sing like music and which by their position and association can move men to tears. We should therefore learn to choose ourwords carefully and use them accurately, or they will make our speech silly and vulgar.(1)、The origin of language is _________.所选答案： D. a problem not yet solved(2)、What is true about words? _______所选答案： C.

Online HomeWork_U5B3-1I. Reading ComprehensionSection A Fast Reading1 Maintaining a marriage is the responsibility of both you, the wife and mother, and your husband. Living together is already a challenge for couples faced with new situations, a new environment, and new responsibilities, but these challenges tend to increase when you become parents. It is not easy to adjust immediately to the new situation especially when you become the proud parents of two or more at the same time. Then the adjustments are even tougher. While you may not even have enough energy to care for the infants and keep the house clean, you may find that you have even less energy left with which to maintain your marriage.2 Are you aware that statistics show that parents of multiples have a higher stress level and tend to argue more often which leads to a higher divorce rate? It is also seen that these children are more likely to suffer some form of child abuse than other children who don‟t come from homes with multiple s.3 There are many reasons why the marriage struggles during the years of bringing up multiple-birth children. One reason is that when you start feeling overwhelmed with stress, little things start adding up, sleep deprivation, fatigue, the need for personal time and depression can all become too overwhelming to handle, especially when you get no co-operation from your spouse. This can be overcome by talking openly with your spouse and sharing responsibilities. Understanding each other is important to help maintain your marriage especially during the tough times.4 Caring for your children is another area where fathers can and should get involved. Talk with your spouse about getting more involved, and even if he was not born with the skills of parenting, let him make an effort to learn through experience. Be specific about areas where you would like his help. Make him feel he is as capable as you of caring for your babies. Make your spouse feel that he is important and needed. Make him realize that you believe in him as a father. By doing that he will feel proud and self confident in assisting at home. Remember not to push him, give him the chance and time to learn, and the freedom to do things in his own way, even if that means he will make some mistakes. Help him to realize that it‟s not only about helping out at home, but rather more, it is a strong contribution towards maintaining a good married life.5 It is vital for you both, as parents of multiples, to have an outlet to release and share your frustrations, to keep your senses clear and maintain a great relationship with the children as well as each other. When you handle situations wisely, you can strengthen both your marriage and your family.1Statements based on the passage:1. Young couples find it easy to live together because they are faced with newsituations and responsibilities.2. A couple may have less energy to maintain their marriage if they have severalchildren at the same time to take care of.3. Cooperation and understanding between a couple are important to help maintaintheir marriage during the years of bringing up multiples.4. When bringing up multiple-birth children, mother will have more sleep, fatigue andpersonal time.5. Only fathers who were born with the skills of parenting should get involved incaring for children.6. It is not easy for a woman to bring up multiples on her own without the help of her spouse.7. Fathers can also be good at looking after children with a little training.8. Mothers should be tolerant when fathers make some mistakes in assisting at home.9. Fathers‟ involvement in caring for children helps maintain a good married life.10. It is unnecessary for parents to release their frustrations and stresses every nowand then.Section B Passage ReadingPassage 1On the morning of September 11th, I boarded the train from Washington Heights in Upper Manhattan just as usual and went to the Body Positive office in the South Street Seaport of Lower Manhattan. While I was leaving the subway at 8:53 am, a man ran down the street screaming, “someone just bombed the World Trade Center.” Those around me screamed and shouted “No!” in disbelief. However, being an amateur photographer, and thinking that I might be able to help out, I ran directly toward the WTC. I stopped just short of the WTC at a corner and looked up. There2before me stood the gaping hole and fire that had taken over the first building. I stood there in shock taking pictures, wanting to run even closer to help out, but I could not move. Soon I saw what looked like little angels floating down from the top of the building. I began to cry when I realized that these “angels”—in fact, desperate office workers—were coming down, some one by one, some even holding hands with another. Could I actually be seeing this disaster unfold with hundreds of people around me crying, screaming and running for safety?As I watched in horror, another white airliner came from the south and took aim at the South Tower. As the plane entered the building, there was an explosion and fire and soon debris (碎片) began to fall around me. It was then that I realized that we were being attacked and that this was just not a terrible accident. Yet, I still could not move, until I was pushed down by the crowd on the street, many now in a panic running toward the water, as far from the WTC as they could possibly get. All around me were the visual reminders of hundreds of people running in panic. There were shoes, hats, briefcases, pocketbooks, newspapers, and other personal items dropped as hundreds of people ran for safety.Much has been written about the disaster already. We have learned so much in such a small amount of time about appreciating life. In some way we must move forward, bury the dead, build a memorial for those lost, and begin the coping and healing process for the survivors. But healing takes time. Some have been able to head right back to work, others seek counseling, while others remain walking through the streets with expressionless faces. However, we are all united in our grief.11. According to the f irst paragraph, people couldn‟t believe that ______.A. someone bombed the World Trade Center.B. the subway ran into a man who was screaming.C. office workers jumped from the World Trade Center.D. people were running from the subway screaming.12. At first look, the author thought that desperate office workers were ______.A. crying as they fell.B. running for safety.C. holding hands.D. angels in the sky.13. What was the author‟s first reflection when he stood at the corner?A. Nothing could he do to help out.B. There was an accident with an airliner. 3C. He was just at a loss and could not understand everything happening.D. A terrorist attack against America had begun.14. What did the author do on seeing the South Tower being attacked?A. He watched in horror and took pictures.B. He was elbowed by the crowd running off to a safe place.C. He ran nearer to help out.D. he ran nearer to take pictures.15. In the last paragraph, all of the following are mentioned EXCEPT that ______.A. life should be appreciatedB. people are deep in grief, but they are unitedC. we should stop and consider carefully what to doD. work should be done about the dead and the livingPassage 2On Mother‟s Day when we visited Mom in the hospital, she told us she believed the multiple rounds of chemotherapy (化疗), radiation, ICU (intensive care unit) stays, and surgeries had been worth it because they had bought her some time. “But now,it‟s time to go home and …take care of business‟.”Shortly after coming home, Mom announced that she planned to make a quilt(拼接缝制的被子), which she had never done. When I asked why, she said, “Dying is boring, and it‟s never too late to learn something new.” The idleness associated with incapacity was madding to her. Over the next few months Mom worked diligently on the quilt, a simple pattern called “Grandmother‟s Garden”.As she picked up a piece of calico (印花布), she would say, “This reminds me of the dress you wore your first day of school,” or “This blue was your father‟s favorite color.” Each recollection opened the door for a conversation about those things that she wanted to share.As the quilt grew, Mom weakened. It was a poignant reminder that time was passing too quickly. At last, she became too sick to work on the quilt.Mom died before the quilt was finished, but it was all right. She had creatively used it as a tool to teach me her final lesson, that the “business” of dying is something best done at home and not in an intensive care unit. This is because the real “business” of dying is reaffirming relationships that have given one‟s life meaning.Without my knowledge, two Christmases later, my husband‟s parents finished the quilt for me. It was the most wonderful gift imaginable. 4Mom‟s quilt has served our family in many ways she would have liked — picnic cloth, moving pad, bedspread, and wrap for her great-grandson. Each time, the quilt reminds me of the bond between generations and the imp ortant “business” of dying.16. According to Paragraph 1, which of the following is true?A. Mom thought that hospital treatment produced no effect.B. Mom wanted to take care of family business.C. Mom had received many kinds of treatments in hospital.D. Mom had recovered from surgeries and decided to go home.17. Why did Mom plan to make a quilt?A. Because she wanted to leave something valuable to her grandchidren.B. Because she wanted to do something special as she approached death.C. Because she wanted to help with the family economy.D. Because she wanted to count her days remaining.18. The word “idleness” (underlined in Paragraph 2) probably refers to Mom‟s being______.A. worthlessB. sleepyC. not busyD. lazy19. The quilt is now used in many ways EXCEPT ______.A. as the tableclothB. covering the bedC. for picnicD. wrapping the child20. According to the passage, which of the following is true?A. Mom wanted the quilt to be used for her great-grandchildren.B. The author asked her husband‟s parents to help with the quilt.C. Mom finished the quilt on her own without any help at all.D. Mom had never once made a quilt before during her life.Section C Reading in Depth (p90/CmpEx3)(Key: 21.J 22.L 23.D 24.A 25.F26.O 27.N 28.H 29.G 30.C)Long ago, in Ancient Greece, two young lovers were about to be separated.

Reading ComprehensionSection A Fast Reading1 At a primary school in Manning, a small town 65 miles east of Columbia, South Carolina, second grade teachers Holly Garneau and Anna Lynne Gamble are convinced that segregating elementary-age boys and girls produces immediate academic improvement---in both genders. The two created a teaching plan for the upcoming semester. But first, Garneau and Gamble need the parents‟ approval. That‟s where David Chadwell, South Carolina‟s coordinator of single gender education, comes in.2 Just as he‟s explained to hundreds of parents and teachers across the state, Chadwell patiently walks the Manning crowd through how boys and girls perceive the world.3 “They see differently.Literally,” he begins. Male and female eyes are not organized in the same way, he explains. The composition of the male eye makes it attuned to motion and direction. “Boys interpret the world as objects moving through space,” he says. “The teacher should move around the room constantly and be that object.”4 The male eye is also drawn to cooler colors like silver, blue, black, grey, and brown. It‟s no accident boys tend to create pictures of moving objects like spaceships,cars, and trucks in dark colors instead of drawing the happy colorful family, like girls in their class.5 The female eye, on the other hand, is drawn to textures and colors. It‟s also oriented toward warmer colors---reds, yellow, oranges---and visuals with more details, like faces. To engage girls, Chadwell says, the teacher doesn‟t need to move as much, if at all. Girls work well in circles, facing each other. Using descriptive phrases and lots of color in overhead presentations or on the chalkboard gets their attention.6 Boys and girls also hear differently. “When someone speaks in a loud tone, girls interpret it as yelling,” Chadwell says. “They think you‟re mad and can shut down.” Girls have a more finely tuned aural(听觉的) structure; they can hear higher frequencies than boys and are more sensitive to sounds. He advises girls‟ teachers to watch the t one of their voices. Boys‟ teachers should sound matter of fact, even excited.7 A boy‟s autonomic nervous system causes them to be more alert when they are standing, moving, and the room temperature is around 69 degrees. Stress in boys, he says, tends to increase blood flow to their brains, a process that helps them stay focused. This won‟t work for girls, who are more focused seated in a warmer room around 75 degrees. Girls also respond to stress differently. When exposed to threat and confrontation, blood goes to their guts, leaving them feeling nervous or anxious.8 “Boys will rise to a risk and tend to overestimate their abilities,” he says. Teachers can help them by getting them to be more realistic about results,” he says. “Girls at this age shy away from risk, which is exactly why lots of girls‟ programs began in the private sector. Teachers can help them learn to take risks in an atmosphere where they feel confident about doing so.”9 These differences can be accommodated in the classroom, C hadwell adds. “Single gender programs are about maximizing the learning.”1. It is of much help to achieve academic improvement by segregating both genders at primary-age.2. Before the teaching plan which raised by Garneau and Gamble is put into practice, it is necessary to get the students‟ parents‟ approval.3. Boys see the world as objects moving through space is due to the reason that the teacher goes around the classroom constantly.4. Girls tend to draw the happy colorful family in their class. So do the boys.5. For girls, it is enough to use descriptive phrases and lots of color on the blackboard to get their attention.6. Boys can hear higher frequencies than girls and more sensitive to sounds, because they have a finely tuned aural structure.7. In class, girls‟ teachers should watch the tone of their voice while boys‟ teachers should sound more excited.8. Stress in boys tends to increase blood flow to their brains, making them nervous or anxious.9. Boys and girls see and hear differently and respond to stress differently.10. Since boys are likely to overestimate their abilities, teachers can help them bymaking them more realistic.Section B Passage ReadingPassage 1Big Ben is one of London‟s best-known landmarks, and looks most spectacular at night when the clock faces are lighted. You even know when parliament is in session, because a light shines above the clock face.The four dials of the clock are 23 feet square, the minute hand is 14 feet long and the figures are 2 feet high. Minutely regulated with a stack of coins placed on the huge pendulum, Big Ben is an excellent timekeeper, which has rarely stopped.The name Big Ben actually refers not to the clock tower itself, but to the thirteen-ton bell hung within. The bell was named after the first commissioner of works, Sir Benjamin Hall. This bell came originally from the old Palace of Westminster, and was given to the Dean of St. Paul by William III. Before returning to Westminster to hang in its present home, it was refashioned in White Chapel in 1858. The BBC first broadcast the chimes(报时) on 31 December 1923. There is a microphone in the tower connected to Broadcasting House.During the Second World War in 1941, a bomb destroyed the Commons chamber of the Houses of Parliament, but the clock tower remained intact and Big Ben continued to keep time and strike away the hours. Its unique sound was broadcast to the nation and around the world, a welcome reassurance of hope to all who heard it.The tower is not open to th e general public, but those with a “special interest” may arrange a visit to the top of the clock tower through a guide.11. When parliament has a meeting, ______.A. Big Ben strikes the timeB. the clock faces are lightedC. Big Ben lights the parliamentD. a light is on above the clock face12.

His father, supporting the decision, found a place for him in a supermarket. “You‟re lucky, Ron,” he said. “For every boy with a job these days, there‟s a dozen without.” So Ron joined the working world at 20 pounds a week.For a year he spent his days filling shelves with tins of food. By the end of that time he was looking back on his school days as a time of great variety and satisfaction. He searched for an interest in his work, with little success.One fine day instead of going to work Ron got a lift on a lorry going south. With nine pounds in his pocket, a full heart and great longing for the sea, he set out to make a better way for himself. That evening, in Bournemouth, he had a sandwich and adrink in a cafe run by an elderly man and his wife. Before he had finished the sandwich, the woman had taken him on for the rest of the summer, at 20 pounds a week, a room upstairs and three meals a day. The ease and speed of it rather took Ron‟s breath away. At quiet times Ron had to check the old man‟s arithmetic in the records of the business.At the end of the season, he stayed on the coast. He was again surprised how straightforward it was for a boy of 17 to make a living. He worked in shops mostly, but once he took a job in a hotel for three weeks. Late in October he was taken on by the sick manager of a shoe shop. Ron soon found himself in charge there; he was the only one who could keep the books.16. What did Ron‟s father mean by saying “For every boy with a job these days,there‟s a dozen without”?A. Every boy could only have one job because there weren‟t enough.B. Ron was fortunate to get a job when many others didn‟t have one.C. In those days, boys had jobs but girls didn‟t.D. There must have been at least twelve boys who had lost their jobs.17. The reason that Ron left his first job is that ______.A. he got a free lift on a lorryB. he did not feel good in itC. he wanted to work at the seasideD. he knew he would find work in Bournemouth18. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. The money.B. The meals.C. The cafe.D. The job.19. How many jobs in all did Ron take in the passage?A. Six.B. Five.C. Four.D. Three.20. Ron soon found himself having some say in the shoe shop because ______.A. he knew how to keep the accounts of the businessB. he had lots of experience with shopsC. he got on well with the manager thereD. he was young and strongSection C Reading in DepthAre you single but too busy to search for love? Then you need to try the latest dating phenomenon that is sweeping across the UK---speed dating.Speed dating involves men and women meeting in a room and finding out as much as they can about possible 21 in three minutes. It‟s 22 very popular with Britain‟s young people who find that they haven‟t got the time to meet that 23 one. At a speed dating event you are given three minutes to talk, one on one, with a member of the 24 sex. Then a bell rings and you move to another person andstart 25 again. By the end of the evening you will have spoken with up to twenty men or women! If, by the end of a conversation, you 26 the person or would like to see him again, you write it down on a card. Then, if the other person also fancies you, the organizers will 27 you with his details.But is three minutes long enough to make an 28 and work out if you want to see someone again? Research suggests that chemistry can be felt within the first thirty seconds of meeting someone, and that is what speed dating is all about, knowing quickly if you are going to like someone. And what about romance? Is it possible to make a good 29 in such a short time? After all, people say you can‟t 30 love. However, Britain will soon have its first marriage from a speed date.Word BankA. fancyB. provingC. specialD. oppositeE. enoughF. hurryG. contact H. imagined I. chattingJ. organized K. impression L. judgmentM. partners N. choices O. seriouslyHomework_U4B3-2Section A Word Building1.
