Topic 1English around the world (Book 1•Unit 2)Ⅰ.阅读理解A话题词数建议用时意大利对外来移民进行语言测试323 7分钟lived here seven years as a caregiver to Italian kids and the elderly, but in order to stay she's had to prove her language skills by taking a test which requires her to write a postcard to an imaginary friend and answer a fictional job ad.Italy is the latest Western European country trying to control a growing immigrant (移民) population by demanding language skills in exchange for work permits, or in some cases, citizenship.Some immigrant advocates worry that as hard financial times make it more difficult for natives to keep jobs, such measures will become more a vehicle for intolerance than integration (融合). Others say it's only natural that newcomers learn the language of their host nation, seeing it as a condition to ensure they can contribute to society.Other European countries laid down a similar requirement for immigrants, and some terms are even tougher. The governments argue that this will help foreigners better join the society and promote understanding across cultures.Italy, which has a much weaker tradition of immigration, has witnessed a sharp increase in immigration in recent years. In 1990, immigrants numbered some 1.14 million out of Italy's then 56.7 million people, or about 2 percent. At the start of this year, foreigners living in Italy amounted to 4.56 million of a total population of 60.6 million, or 7.5 percent, with immigrants' children accounting for an ever larger percentage of births in Italy.Cojochru, the Moldovan caregiver, hoped obtaining permanent residence (居住权) would help her bring her two children to Italy; they live with her sister in Moldova, where salaries are among the lowest in Europe. She was skeptical that the language requirement would encourage integration.Italians always “see me as a foreigner，”an outsider, even though she's stayed in the country for years and can speak the local language fluently, she said.语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文，主要探讨了意大利刚出台的对日益增长的移民所采取的语言测试项目及人们对该项目的不同看法。

I can remember all the pain you'vecaused me.Do you remember the night when you almost took my father's life?I do. He loves you. Sometimes I think he loves you more than he lovesme. He's addicted to you, to the way you promise to rid him of hisproblems only to cause more of them. You just sat back and laughed as his car went turning through the street, crashing into two other cars. He wasn't the only one badly hurt by you that night.Do you remember the night of my first high school party? My friends were_intrigued_by you. They treated you as if they were never going to see you again, drinking all of you that they could.I spent two hours that night helping my friends who had fallen head over heels for you. “I'm so embarrassed，” they said as I held their hair back so that they could throw up.“I'm sorry，”they said when I called taxis for them, walking them out and paying the driver in advance. “This won't happen again，” they said as they were sent to the hospital to have their stomachs pumped. Two 15-year-old girls slept in hospital beds that night due to you.Do you remember the night when you took advantage of my 17-year-old neighbor who had to drive to pick up his sister from her dance lesson? Do you know how we all felt when he hit another car head-on and killed two people in the other car? He died the next morning, too. His sister walked home from her dance lesson, and passed police cars and a crowd of people gathering on the sidewalk just two blocks away from the dance studio. She didn't realize her brother was among them at all. She never saw him again. And it was all your fault.I wish you'd walk out of my life forever. I don't want anything to do with you.

Topic 1Earthquakes (Book 1•Unit 4)Ⅰ.阅读理解A话题词数建议用时沙尘暴215 6分钟A sandstorm refers to a high amount of wind occurring in sandy areas, usually in deserts, where the wind speed is able to lift the top layer of sand from the ground, and push it in every direction. The sand involved in the sandstorm can reach heights of about 3.05m－15.24m.It is very dangerous to experience a sandstorm. Sand can get intothe nose, eyes, mouth and lungs. If you happen to be caught in asandstorm, you must protect yourself by wearing masks, scarves andso on.If you're driving when such a storm approaches, it's advised thatyou pull off the road, since it's difficult to continue driving. This is also important since vehicles can fail in during sandstorms and you could end up stuck on the road.Most sandstorms occur in spring, and during the daytime. Many of the areas around the Persian Gulf and the Sahara Desert are associated with the most serious storms. Since it's a natural phenomenon, it can't be entirely controlled. In areas that are natural desert regions, you can't always prevent a sandstorm. There's much evidence that the planet Mars has dust storms, and clearly, no human intervention (介入) is responsible for such.

Then he needed to apply for college.At one time, Adan shared one bedroom with six others while his father worked long hours as a custodian (看门人) and his mother held part-time jobs to help feed the family. Unlike many other students in America there was no Internet in his apartment, and too often no electricity. To complete homework requiring online access, he would walk late at night, after sports practices, to a McDonald's or Starbucks to catch enough of Wi-Fi signals to finish his homework on a borrowed laptop. When he had to research and apply for college, he hit the streets in search of a signal that didn't have a password attached to it.Fortunately, Adan was resourceful, hard-working and patient to jump over this_gap_in_technology which traps many other poor youths.In today's digital world, students can't learn as well without the Internet. Going forward into tomorrow, there will only be a bigger gap between the Internet haves and the have-nots. As the have-nots continue to struggle to keep up, our entire educational system will also struggle to keep up globally and later our workforce will struggle, too. And that's an even bigger problem in the near future.Recently, Adan has graduated from Georgetown University decorated with national awards, captain of the boxing team, and has engaged over 10,000 youths through his Si Se Puede Network. Yes, this is his story. And now we need to change it so others can have the same happy ending without as many struggles in the story.A．had to help feed his familyB．had a poor family backgroundC．didn't like living with his familyD．used to turn off lights to save money解析：选B由第二段可知，Adan的爸爸是个看门人，妈妈做临时工补贴家用，家里7个孩子共用一个房间，家里没网且经常没电，他要上网的时候得去麦当劳或星巴克蹭网。

Topic 1Travel journal (Book 1•Unit 3)Ⅰ.阅读理解A话题词数建议用时旅游经历252 6分钟Dear Jorge,Are you enjoying your break from school? My family are now in Sacramento, California. We are here paying a visit to my aunt Gloria. We have been to the California State Capitol Building, the nature center, and the zoo. I have seen many interesting things, but one stands out above the rest. This morning we drove from my aunt's home to Calistoga to see California's Old Faithful Geyser (老忠实泉). I had read about it in my book, Sightseeing in California: Where You Should Go. You have probably heard of Old Faithful, the geyser farther north in Yellowstone National Park. This California geyser is sometimes called “Little Old Faithful.”When we arrived California's Old Faithful was only a calm pool of water. The geyser didn't look very deep. “What's the big deal？” I wondered. As I turned, I saw some steam rising from the water. Before I knew it, there was hot water shooting up about 60 feet into the air. We could not believe our eyes! It continued for almost three minutes.Aunt Gloria told me that the water came from an underground river. She also said that the water temperature was about 95℃. This water can sometimes shoot 170 feet into the air.My aunt said that other geysers around the world reach hotter temperatures and shoot water even higher than California's Old Faithful Geyser. I'd love to learn more about this geyser and other geysers in different countries when I get home. I'll see you soon!Your friend，Bennetto语篇解读：本文是一封书信。

Topic 2Sharing (Book 7•Unit 4)Ⅰ.阅读理解A话题词数建议用时怎样处理朋友关系374 7分钟change the people with whom I spent the most time. We've all gone through periods when the people in our lives have changed — graduation, moving to a new city, getting a new job, joining a new club, etc. I don't think I need to convince you just how much influence other people can have over your identity. If you've ever experienced a major switch in your people environment, then you know that you change as well.Most people don't make these choices consciously (有意识地) though. You might consciously decide to spend more time with a certain friend, or you may ask someone out on a date to begin a new relationship. But few people choose their existing friendships deliberately.There's_no_“getting_rid_of_people”. People are always dropping into and out of each other's lives. Associations grow into friendships, and friendships fade into associations. You don't get rid of anyone. The truth is that in order to make room for new people and new experiences, you may need to loosen up some of your existing connections.What about loyalty (忠诚)? Shouldn't you always be loyal to your friends? Once you have a close friend, even if their influence on you is slightly harmful, shouldn't you stick by them?Loyalty to a friend sometimes means having to let go. It means being loyal to their highest and best as well. If someone is destroying his health by smoking, for example, you aren't showing loyalty by smoking right along with him. True loyalty sometimes requires that you break damaging connections, get yourself back on solid ground, and then decide what you can really do to help your friend.It can take a lot of courage to tell someone, “I'm sorry, but I can't have you in my life anymore.” But even though this might seem like a selfish act at times, it's often the best thing for the other person too. If a relationship is holding you back in some way, understand that it's also hurting the other person. For example, if you work for a violent boss, your acceptance of that situation is considered to be silent approval, encouraging your boss to continue to behave violently.语篇解读：人们发生重大生活变化的时候，人际环境也会变化，这就涉及交往过程中朋友关系的处理，怎么做才是对朋友的忠诚，作者给出了自己的看法。

Topic 3Working the land (Book 4•Unit 2)Ⅰ.阅读理解A话题词数建议用时回收利用废弃塑料329 7分钟for extraordinary change. Aghan Oscar is just among them. Thirteen years ago, Aghan, bothered by the ever-increasing quantity of plastic waste in this low-income suburb of Nairobi, decided to find a way to recycle it.Now his company, Continental Renewable Energy Co. Ltd (COREC), produces poles for use in construction, farming and road signs. So far he's sold 96,000, and he says his potential for growth is limited only by the considerable expense of setting up plastic recycling plants.Most of Aghan's customers are farmers and developers who once used wooden fence poles. Customers say they have other benefits as well. “I have fenced my piece of land three times using wood posts, but most of the time the fence was vandalized (故意破坏) by villagers who used the posts as firewood，” said Caleb Kapten. Now plastic posts have stopped the problem, he said.The Kenya National Highways Authority is one of COREC's biggest customers. It approached the company after road signs were vandalized by criminals who sold the metal poles to steel manufacturing companies. Aghan reckons (估计) that COREC's products have saved the government millions of shillings, besides preventing road accidents. And he also points out that COREC has been able to conserve large numbers of trees by producing plastic poles.When Aghan started this recycling business in 2003, most of his employees were his family members due to financial constraints (限制). Now he employs 250 young people to collect plastic waste. Fifty more youths work on the production line, where the waste is sorted according to quality before being crushed and washed, melted and cast into different shapes. The poles are then arranged by shape and size for sale in the yard of the recycling plant.语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。
