It sounds like the perfect living arrangement for cash-strapped students.Two mothers believe they have devised a way for struggling students to save on accommodation costs when they leave home to study at university.Kate Barnham and Amanda Flude have launched Student Swaps, an online accommodation forum (论坛) for parents and students, in advance of the introductionin September of ￡3,000 higher education top-up fees.Their website says, “The principle behind Student Swaps is to enable students to literally swap (交换) family homes.”The website will hold a database of students who would like to swap and link them with suitable matches. So those from one town / city could swap with those from a different town / city.The site describes itself as offering a “cost-free accommodation alternative…at a time of growing student debt”. There is no charge for the service at the moment but Ms Barnham and Ms Flude intend to introduce a ￡10 annual fee if it becomes established.However, the National Union of Students (NUS) has warned that, while the scheme may sound appealing to struggling freshers, it lacks any formal regulation.Veronica King, NUS vice-president of welfare, said, “The fact that this scheme has even been suggested is evidence to the high levels of debt students now face on graduation.” Recent research has shown that students are more likely to live at home in coming years, in a bid to cut down on the cost of a degree.“This is worrying, as it may mean that students choose their university on the basis of where it is, rather than because it offers the best course for them. It also means students will miss out on what is for some a key part of the student experience-living away from home.”46. A “cash-strapped” student means one who __________.A. lacks moneyB. prefers to stay at homeC. is careful with moneyD. wants to change cash47. What is Kate Barnham and Amanda Flude’s purpose of launching Student Swaps?A. To provide cheaper accommodation for students.B. To let students stay close to their universities.C. To help students spend less on accommodation costs.D. To let students exchange ideas freely online.48. What can students do on Student Swaps?A. They can find students to exchange homes with.B. They can make friends with students from a different city.C. They can borrow money to pay for their higher education.D. They can voice their opinions against the rising cost of a degree.49. Now many students would prefer a university _________.A. which can give them free accommodationB. which is not far away from their homesC. which offers the best coursesD. which can offer home-cooked meals50. What would be the best title for the passage?A. High Cost Troubles University Students in UK.B. Students Swaps is Welcomed by Students in UK.C. Two Mothers’ Good Intention to Help Students in UK.D. Website Helps Students Live at Someone Else’s Home.CThe world is not coming to an end on December 21, 2012, the US space agency insisted Monday in a rare campaign to dispel (消除) widespread rumors fueled by the Internet and a new Hollywood movie.The latest big screen offering from Sony Picture, 2012, arrives in theaters on Friday, with a 200 million dollar production about the end of the world supposedly based on myths (虚构的故事) backed by the Mayan calendar. It is claimed that the end of time will come as a Planet X — or Nibiru — heads toward or collides (相撞)with the Earth.Some websites accuse NASA of hiding the truth on the planet’ s existence, but the US space agency denounced (指控) such stories as an “Internet hoax (恶作剧) ”. “There is no factual basis for these claims，” NASA said in a question and answer posting on its website. “If such a collision were real, astronomers would have been tracking it for at least the past decade, and it would be visible by now to the naked eye. Obviously, it does not exist. Credible scientists worldwide know of no threat associated with 2012，” it insisted. “After all, our planet has been getting along just well for more than four billion years，” added NASA.There is another planet, Eris, floating in space. But the small planet similar to Pluto will remain safely fixed in the outer solar system and it can come no closer than four billion miles to the Earth, according to NASA.Initial theories set the disaster for May 2003, but when nothing happened the date was moved forward to the winter in 2012 to coincide with the end of a cycle of the ancient Mayan calendar.NASA insisted the Mayan calendar in fact does not end on December 21, 2012, as another period begins immediately afterward.And even if the planets were to line up as some have forecast, the effect on our planet would be “negligible”， NASA said.“And while comets and asteroids (小行星) have always hit the Earth, big hits are very rare，” NASA not ed. The last major impact was believed to be 65 million years ago，resulting in the end of dinosaurs.“We have already determined that there are no threatening asteroids as large as the one that killed the dinosaurs，” the space agency said.51．________played a key role in the spread of the rumors.A. A new bookB. The Internet and a new Hollywood movieC. NASAD. An Indian calendar52．The film 2012 is________.A. about the end of the worldB. based on the scientific predictionC. well accepted in the science fieldD. about a romantic love story 53．We can infer that________.A. people didn’t take the rumor seriouslyB. Planet X — or Nibiru does existC. astronomers have been tracking Planet X for over ten yearsD. the rumor caused a panic among some people54．NASA thinks that Eris________.A. might bring a threat to the EarthB. doesn’t bring any threat to the EarthC. is too far away to be visibleD. is similar to our planet, where life might exist55. Which of the following is the best title?A. New Hollywood movie 2012B. December 21, 2012, NOT the end of the worldC. How rumors came into beingD. End of the ancient Mayan calendarDThe China Daily newspaper group is looking for English-language senior business editors, senior copy editors, copy editors and graphic designers to strengthen its international team.

For many people today, reading is no longer relaxation. To keep up their work they must read letters, reports, trade publications, interoffice communications, not to mention newspapers and magazines: a never-ending flood of words. In 1 a job or advancing in one, the ability to read and comprehend 2 can mean the difference between success and failure. Yet the unfortunate fact is that most of us are 3 readers. Most of us develop poor reading 4 at an early age, and never get over them. The main deficiency（不足）5 in the actual stuff of language itself —words. Taken individually, words have 6 meaning until they are strung together into phrases, sentences and paragraphs. 7 , however, the untrained reader does not read groups of words. He laboriously reads one word at a time, often regressing（退回）to 8 words or passages. Regression, the tendency to look back over what you have just read, is a common bad habit in reading. Another habit which 9 down the speed of reading is vocalization—sounding each word either orally or mentally as one reads.To overcome these bad habits, some reading clinics use a device called an 10 , which moves a bar (or curtain) down the page at a predetermined（预先确定的）speed．The bar is set at a slightly faster rate than the rea der finds comfortable, in order to“stretch”him. The accelerator forces the reader to read fast, 11 word-by-word reading, regression and subvocalization（默读）practically impossible. At first 12 is sacrificed for speed．But when you learn to read ideas and concepts, you will not only read faster, but your comprehension will 13 . Many people have found their reading skill drastically improved after some training. 14 Charlce Au, a business manager, for instance, his reading rate was a reasonably good 172 words a minute before the training, now it is an excellent 182 words a minute. He is delighted that how he can 15 a lot more reading material in a short period of time.1．A．applying B．doing C．offering D．getting 2．A．quickly B．easily C．roughly D．decidedly 3．A．good B．curious C．poor D．urgent 4．A．training B．habits C．situations D．custom 5．A．lies B．combines C．touches D．involves 6．A．some B．much C．little D．dull 7．A．Fortunately B．Indeed C．Logically D．Unfortunately 8．A．reuse B．reread C．rewrite D．recite 9．A．scales B．cuts C．slows D．measures 10．A．accelerator B．actor C．amplifier D．observer 11．A．enabling B．leading C．making D．indicating 12．A．meaning B．comprehension C．skill D．regression 13．A．increase B．reduce C．improve D．stayII．阅读（共两节，25题，满分50分）第一节: 阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

Even though it was only October, my students were already whispering about Christmas plans. With each passing day, everyone became more 1 waiting for the final school bell. On its ringing, everyone would run for their coats and go home, everyone except David.David was a small boy in ragged clothes.

But something made David 4 . I can still remember he was always 5 a smile and willing to help. He always 6 after school to help with the cleaning. We never talked much. He would just smile and ask what else he could do, then thank me for letting him stay and slowly 7 home.Weeks passed and the excitement over the coming Christmas grew into restlessness until the last day of 8 before the holiday break. I smiled in relief as the last of them hurried out the door. Turning around, I saw David 9 standing by my desk.“I have something for you” he said and 10 from behind his back a small box.

My mum told me before she died that love was something you couldn’t see or touch unless you know it’s there”.Tears filled my eyes as I looked at the 13 dirty face that I had seldom given 14 to.
