阅读理解。     It didn’t take long at all for me to decide to come and study in the UK. With the approach of
globalization, more and more people realize that it is necessary to study in an English-speaking country.
UK does not only offer the chance to study the original English, it also has so many first-class universities, whose qualifications are widely respected all over the world. Besides the academic, there are many fun
elements too; its famous football environment is definitely one for me! Since UK has such a diverse society, I feel there is less chance that there would be any racism(种族歧视) at boarding school. This is one
reason why I did not take any summer courses before I started my school. It was just so easy to settle in
and pick up the language as you go along, because everyone is so friendly and helpful. At the moment I am doing 5 A-levels and 1 AS, which are Maths, Further Maths, Physics, Chemistry, Government and Politics and Chinese. I am aiming to achieve A’s in all my exams, and I hope to go to Oxford University to study
Engineering Science in the autumn.
     I still remember my first day at Merchiston Castle School, and I was really nervous about it, because I have never visited the school before and didn’t take any summer courses. Despite my anxiety, I soon
relaxed once I arrived; the staff members were so nice that I felt that my spoken English was better than it actually was! As soon as I walked into the day room (日间休息室) of my boarding house, I was
absolutely amazed by the friendly atmosphere: Everyone was so friendly that a boy as shy as I had no
difficulty in setting in, and I made many new friends on my very first day, although I was struggling to
remember all the names.
1. What does the passage mainly tell us?
A. The author’s impression on UK.
B. The author’s plan for his study.
C. The author’s comments on British schools.
D. The report of achievements.
2. Which is NOT a reason that the author decided to study in the UK?
A. It’s less likely that racism would be found at boarding school.
B. He wanted to learn pure English.
C. There are many worldwide famous universities.
D. It provides a good environment for a living.
3. The author thinks the British are __________.
A. funny
B. hard-working
C. friendly
D. respectable
4. We can learn from the passage that the author _________.
A. plays football very well
B. has been admitted to Oxford University
C. is a shy boy
D. is good at remembering names
5. The underlined word “it” in the second paragraph refers to "________".
A. my first day at the school

C. Merchistion Castle School

阅读理解     Parents should help children understand money.   1 So you may start talking about money when your child shows an interest in buying things, candy or toys, for example.
     1. The basic function of money
     Begin explaining the basic function of money by showing how people trade money for goods or
services. It"s important to show your child how money is traded for the thing he wants to have. If he wants to have a toy, give him the money and let him hand the money to the cashier (收银员).    2  When your
child grows a bit older and understands the basic function of money, you can start explaining more
complex ways of using money.
     2. Money lessons
     Approach money lessons with openness and honesty.   3 If you must say no to a child"s request to
spend money, explain, "You have enough toy trucks for now." Or, if the request is for many different
things, say, "You have to make a choice between this toy and that toy."
     3.   4
    Begin at the grocery store. Pick out two similar brands of a product - a name-brand butter and a
generic (无商标产品), for example. You can show your child how to make choices between different
brands of a product so that you can save money,   5   If he chooses the cheaper brand, allow him to make another purchase with the money saved. Later, you may explain how the more expensive choice leaves
less money for other purchases.A. Wise decisions
B. The value of money
C. Permit the child to choose between them.
D. Tell your child why he can-or cannot-have certain things.
E. Ask yourself what things that cost money are most important to you.
F. Talk about how the money bought the thing after you leave the toy store.
G. The best time to teach a child anything about money is when he shows an interest.

阅读理解。     Recently, in the hope of earning both money and social experience, I became a door-to-door salesman. I once read a saying: "If somebody wants something of you, you will be treated as warmly as spring, but if they don"t you may be treated as coldly as winter." You may consider it an exaggeration(夸张),but if you are a salesman, it is clearly correct.
     You would never have found it to be so true if you hadn"t been a salesman. You needn"t stand doubtful looks and unfriendly views; you needn"t listen to something completely wrong and nod to say that it was quite right; you needn"t always keep patience and smile; you needn"t repeat the same sentences over again; you needn"t talk to somebody you dislike.
     I did this work for a month; then I decided to give it up. In spite of the above reasons, I found I was paying too much attention to the job and thus sacrificing my study time. The latest test result proved that my grades were getting lower. Even worse, I hadn"t enough time to join my classmates in college activities. Sometimes I felt lonely and unhappy because of both my study and my part-time job. Now I don"t think it is worth doing such a thing even though I was earning money at great cost.
     Newspapers and magazines often publish stories about good students who do part-time work and keep high scores in class. But according to my experience, part-time work can have some strong bad effects on study.
     Most students don"t see the relationship between studies and work in a correct way. In my opinion, if it isn"t a must for money reasons, students should be cautious about taking up a part-time job. In western countries even the children of very rich families take part in hard jobs during the summer vacation.
1. What caused the writer to give up his part-time job?
A. Too much attention to it and his grades getting lower
B. He often missed some college activities
C. Sometimes he felt tired and unhappy
D. All the above
2. Which of the following has the closest meaning to the underlined word "sacrificing"?
A. losing
B. wasting
C. using
D. getting
3. The writer thought __________.
A. to do part-time job was unnecessary
B. part-time jobs had good effect upon study
C. it"s hard to plan study and work correctly
D. part-time jobs were good for students
4. Who should take part-time jobs according to the text above?
A. Every college student
B. Those who want to get study experience
C. Those in great need of money
D. Those from very rich families

     Snake dishes have become popular  1  recent years. Snake meat in various flavors(风味) is often
seen in restaurant advertisements. Eating snake seems to be now in vogue(盛行), and   2   you haven"t
eaten snake yet, you are considered " out of date". But I wonder whether all the trends are worth  3
(follow).
    Some people may defend themselves   4  saying that snake meat is nutritious. But these people don"t
realize that many parasites (寄生虫),  5   (find) inside snakes, will do harm to our health.
   According to a survey, about 1,000 tons of snakes are eaten every year in China and sometimes as
many as 10 tons of snakes   6  (serve) on dinner tables in Shenzhen in a single day!
    These figures warn us that if no   7   (act) is taken, the number of snakes will drop and that will make    8  increase in mice and worms population,   9   will result in a decrease (减产) of crops output.
Who will see such tragedy happen?
    So let"s start not to eat snakes any more because " to protect the snake is to protect   10   ."

阅读理解     London has more than nine million visitors every year. They come and visit some of the most famous
places in England: Big Ben, the Tower of London and the River Thames.
     You can see some of the most interesting places in London by getting on the tour buses. Or you can
take a ride on the London Eye. This large wheel slowly takes you 135m above the River Thames.
     The River Thames is London"s main waterway. It has shaped the capital"s landscape, history and
geography. So one of the best ways of knowing more about the city is to take a trip along the river.
     The clock tower of the Houses of Parliament, Big Ben, has become one of the main symbols of
London. The sound of the bell, which you can hear at the beginning of many television and radio
programmes, has become well-known throughout the nation.
     No visit to London is complete without a look at the Tower of London, in the eastern part of the city.
After Big Ben, the Tower may be London"s most visited tourist spot. Directly south is Tower Bridge,
which is more than100 years old.
     Along all the palaces in London, Buckingham Palace is the most famous. It has been the main London
home of the royal family since Queen Victoria moved there in 1873. You can visit some of the rooms in
August and September. And most mornings of the year you can watch the soldiers outside changing the
guard.
     About one hour by train out of London is the Tower of Windsor. Here you can visit another of the
Queen"s homes-Windsor Castle. There was a fire in 1992 and many of the rooms were badly burned.
But now they are full of beautiful pictures, tables and chairs again.
    Sightseeing in London is great, but it can get very tiring. So, the best way to start the day is to fill up
with an English breakfast.
     You can buy an English breakfast in nearly every hotel, and at many restaurants and cafes. An English
pub is a good place to stop for lunch and a drink. You can get hot or cold food and try one of England"s
many ales(浓啤酒). Fish and chips are also a traditional English meal. So look out for fish and chip shops
in cities as well as by the sea.
   Or you can sit outside one of the many roadside pubs and cafes in London, and simply watch the busy
world go by.    1. We can learn from the text that ____________.A.Windsor Castle has been rebuilt
B. the Big Ben can be heard everywhere in London
C. only some of the hotels in England serve breakfast.
D. the London Eye can carry you where you like to go2. Which place may be London"s most visited tourist spot?A. Buckingham Palace
B. The Tower of London
C. Big Ben
D. The River Thames3. If you go to London in December, you will not be able to ___________.A. visit Windsor Castle
B. tour the Buckingham Palace
C. tour the city along the River Thames
D. watch the soldiers outside the Buckingham Palace changing guards.4. The underlined word "landscape" (paragraph 3) is closest in meaning to _________.A. sights
B. interests
C. characteristics
D. culture5. The whole passage mainly introduces the ________________.A. tourism in London
B. tourists in London
C. history in London
D. sightseeing in London
