阅读理解。     There are over 800 boarding (寄宿) schools in the United Kingdom with students from home and
foreign countries. Boarding schools started hundreds of years ago in the country. But the earliest boarding
schools were set up for white, rich boys only. Now, both boys and girls can go to boarding schools from
the age of 7 to 18.
     What to do
     In the United Kingdom, boarding schools have three terms in a school year, and there are about 13
weeks each term. Students study and live with one another. They need permission to go outside. In some
schools, each student has his or her own schedule. Besides the usual classrooms and laboratories, the
boarding schools have lots of other equipment for their students, including music rooms, boats, swimming
pools, cinemas and theaters. Most boarding schools have a"lights out" time. So when it"s time to go to bed,
all the lights in the dormitories are turned off. Some senior teaching staff work as housemasters (舍监).
Each of them takes care of 50 students all the time, and especially after school hours.
     64
     Nearly all students at boarding schools in the United Kingdom wear a school uniform. Boys usually wear
a shirt and a tie, and girls wear a white blouse (罩衫), sometimes also a tie and a skirt. As students get older,
the rules become less strict.
     What to eat
     In the United Kingdom, boarding schools provide students with delicious food. They can choose to have
a full English breakfast or simply bread with marmalade (柑橘酱). They can also choose between a vegetarian
meal and another meal at lunch and dinner. And there is always a salad buffet (自助餐), other side-dishes and
a dessert. Many boarding dormitories also have a kitchen so students can make themselves something to eat
at any time, or drink tea or have a snack between meals. 1. Jimmy is five years old now. Can he go to a boarding school in, the United Kingdom?

     The sun is a huge, hot, bright star. It is important because without it there would be no life on Earth. The
sun gives us light and heat.
     All living things need light and heat from the sun to live. Plants need light and heat to grow. They use the
light from the sun to make food. We cannot make our own food, but plants can. All the food we eat comes
from plants in a food chain (链) which starts with the sun. For example,

     Animals need sunlight, too. Just like us, their food comes from a food chain which begins with the sun
and the plants. 　　
     sun→ leaf→ caterpillar (毛虫)→bird 　　
     sun→ seaweed (海藻)→small fish→ whale (鲸)

阅读理解。     "How can I learn English well?" This is a question many students ask. In my opinion, the most effective
way is to learn lessons by heart. If you can recite the text and write it out, you"ve learned it fairly well. And
if you can tell, in your own words, what the lesson says you"re a very successful learner indeed. Your English
will be quite perfect.
     This is a difficult task. However, if you try to learn by heart only part of each lesson, you"ll find it not half
so hard as you might have thought. Learning this way, you will make rapid progress. Of course, writing is also
necessary. It helps you a lot on our way to success in English.
     Equally important is to feel the language. You should be able to laugh at jokes and be shocked at bad news.

way. So, never try to see English through translation. 1. In the writer"s opinion, the most effective way in learning English is _____. A. to practise speaking, writing and feeling it

阅读理解。     It is said that all dreams serve a purpose (目的). While there is no agreement among scientists about
why we dream, there are many ideas about the different kinds of dreams we have.
    One common kind of dream is the repeating dream, in which the same story is repeated again and again,
often for many months or even years. Some believe these are a sign people have a problem in their life and
once that problem is gone then the dream will stop. Others think they are a way to help people remember
something very important.
    Another well-known kind of dream is the nightmare. The pictures and stories in such dreams make
people very afraid and dreamers usually remember them far more clearly than normal dreams. The cause
of such dreams may be seeing something terrifying such as a car accident or some deadly snakes. Others
think such dreams may be trying to make a person pay attention to something that is dangerous in their life.
    Daydreams happen during wake-time when we forget where we are or what we are doing and find
ourselves in a made-up story or unreal world." We often daydream when we are doing something that is
not interesting or exciting. They help us think about our future.
    Lucid dreams are the most fun. These happen when dreamers suddenly understand that they are dreaming.
Instead of waking up, they stay in the dream and are able to control what happens in the dream as if they are
making a movie. 1. The underlined word "they" (in paragraph 2) refers to "______". A. dreams

阅读理解。     Are you carrying too much on your back at school? You"re not alone. Back experts (专家) in the USA are
worried about that young students are having back and neck problems because they are carrying too much in
their backpacks.
     "It hurts my back when I run," said Ebelin Reyes, a student in Virginia. "It"s hard to get up the stairs with
my backpack because it"s too heavy." Students have to carry heavy backpacks on their backs for a whole
week"s study. Ebelin is one of them. They have regular (固定的) backpacks with two straps (带子) to carry
them, but a number of students with heavy loads (负担) have switched to rolling backpacks. The backpacks
have wheels and can roll on the ground. Shirley Park"s backpack weighs 10 kilos, and she said, "I"ll change
to a rolling backpack because I am starting to have back pain."

     (1) Lighten the load. Take home only the books the students need that day.

backpacks with two straps.
