just said?”1 would defensively say，“0f course I did!”In January，I began to lose my voice．Doctors told me I needed surgery，or my throatwould be permanently damaged．Total silence would be required for the first few weeks of myrecovery．Two hours after the surgery，my eyes filled with tears as my two-year-old son lookedpuzzled because l wouldn’t answer his questions．1 wanted to talk but couldn’t．Luckily，I'd recorded myself reading some of his favorite books．That would come in handy the next coupleof weeks．When I got home，I noticed a“side effect”：as my wife talked to me to keep up myspirits，1 wasn’t just hearing her；1 was listening to her．Over the next few weeks，I didn’t want to miss a word she said,I began to hear sweetness in her voice．It had never left．I'd juststopped noticin9．I found myself understanding her better on topics I'd previously dismissed as“things I just don’t get as a guy”．I also realized my son wasn’t just talking nonstop but that he often had thoughtful things to say．Even while walking my dog in the woods near our home，Ibegan hearing pleasant patterns in birdsongs．Before my surgery，I'd have spent those walks onmy phone．After several weeks，1 was fully recovered．Conversation in our house is better now，notbecause I'm talking more．I’m just listening better and becoming less and less surprised that Ilike what I hear．36．According to

food for many reasons．It is one of the largest edible seedsproduced by any plant．Its unusual contents also make it unique in the seed world—it consistsof both“meat’’and“water”inside．The coconut meat is the white substance with which we are all familiar，as it is used extensively for cooking a．nd flavorings；the coconut water is a white and sweet liquid．Portuguese(葡萄牙的)explorers gave the nut its name in the l 5 th century．referring to itas COC0，meanin9“ghost”in their language．The outside appearance of coconuts remindedthem of a ghost’s face，and the tree has had that name ever since．The coconut has varied uses．It is used to make various cooking oils for fast．foodrestaurants around the world to make diet materials．The coconut fluid is a favorite drink in hotclimates，providing a cool and refreshing beverage right off the tree．This water is also used bymanufacturers of various sports drinks．Even the shell itself has many uses，including animalfood and fertilizer．Yet the coconut is also useful in many ways that have nothing to do with food．Coconut oilis used for cosmetics(化妆品)，medicines，and so on．Dried coconut shells are used in manycountries as a tool for shining wood floors．The shells are also used for shirt buttons，and arecommonly found on Hawaiian clothin9．They are even used for musical instruments and birdhouses．And all these are only some of the uses found for the coconut fruit．The coconut tree，which produces the nut，also produces many useful things．It’s no wonder that the coconut tree has been taken as“the tree of life”．40．What does the underlined

abroad：others selectHomestay even if they are not on a study visit．Statistics show that it’s a form of accommodation gaining in popularity all the time．But what is Homestay?And what makes it so popular?Homestay means living with a family，or“host family”as we say．There are three ways ofdoing it：·choose to learn English in a language school near to your Homestay location：·have your English classes in the house with a member of the family who is a qualifiedteacher；·select not to have classes at all when you visit——a popular choice if you want to do thetourist thing for example．Even in their busy summer period the organizations that arrange the Homestays will alwaystry to place you with the most suitable host family to match your requirements．Placement(安置)organizations think about location，interests，language level，eating requirements，allergies(过敏)and other requests you may have．Though prices vary according to your needs，good quality Homestay accommodation can berelatively economical--and although you may be charged an extra amount of money if you want your Homestay in or near the city centre．Even if you stay further out，you can expect yourjourney into the centre not to exceed 30 minutes·Not onlY does Homestay accommodation represent value for money，it also glVes you an excelient opportunity to practise English with your host family．This is a very imPortant extra for students who like to speak as much English as possible．But if you plan to leam English，whynot have vour English classes in your host family．9 There’s no better way to learn English thanthis—the Derfect combination of learning and accommodation combined with the Cultural experience !44．Homestay is an ideal choice for students wh0 .A．plan to visit relatires B．want to stay at homeC．plan to

living space for you and your family．Changing a few old habits can make an impact on your energy bill，your comfort and the environment.Here aresome handy tips to make your house more energy-efficient.Lower the heatIf vour home has adjustable central heating，lowering the room temperature eVen sllghtlycan make a difference．You may not feel it，but your wallet will．It is even more adVisable to control temperatures at different times of the day·Hang clothes out to dryIf the weather allows it，head outside and dry your laundry on a clothesline.The sunlightwill help eliminate bacteria and dust．While clothes dryers get the job done faster，they also use up energy．By hanging your clothes out you’11 be cutting greenhouse gases by about three kilograms per load．Take advantage of natural lightInstalling large windows on the northern side of your house can help you make use of sunli ght，s natural warmth. To stay c00l indoors on hot summer days，install blinds(百叶窗) to block the heavy sun．Put your desk near the window，then you don’t need a lamp in thedaytime．Wrap(裹)your pipesBe sure your hot—water pipes are properly wrapped．In an average home，heating wateraccounts for more than one—quarter of the energy bill．Why let warmth go to waste before it reaches you? 、Choose the right size for appliances(家用电器)When the time comes to replace appliances，select those that are both energy—efficient and of the appropriate size for your needs．Don’t buy bigger ones just because you can．48．What benefit may using less energy at home bring about?A．Having a healthier living environment．B．Improving your work efficiency．C．Keeping old habits unchanged．D．Enlarging your living space．49．Which of the following is one of the advantages of hanging clothes out to dry?A．It may help to build a greenhouse．B．It helps remove bacteria in clothes．C．It uses half the ell ergy that clothes dryers d0．D．It gets clothes dry much faster than clothes dryers．50．What can be installed on the northern side of your house to make better use of naturallight? ，A．Blinds．B．Curtains．C．Windows．D．Shades．5 1．Besides energy-efficiency，what else should be considered when replacing appliances?A．Replacing time．B．Reasonable price．C．Good quality．D．Proper size．Passage FiveAs we recently discovered，there is a Stepmother’s Day，though it is not on any officialholiday calendar．S0，it would be safe to assume that there is a similar day for stepdads，t00．Right?Well，it depends on what you read．A Google search brought up posts that say，forexample，“It’s on father’s day--father’s day is for fathers，step—fathers and people who are like fathers to you-it’s a day for making father figures feel special．”Further searching found a Stepfather’s Day Facebook page that says，“The unofficial Stepfather’s Day is the fourth Sunday of June．”Unfortunately，as of the publishing of this article，only 30 people have“liked”the page．Considering that studies show 3．3 million men，or l l．1％of U．S．fathers，live with at least one stepchild，that’s only a drop in the ocean．It’s interesting to note that there is a National Grandparents’Day．President Jimmy Cartersigned it into law in 1978．Law! While grandparents are undoubtedly special people in our children’s lives，they are often seen as the most loving family members．But what about thestepparents? The stepparents are the ones who are often the outsiders，the ones who have toendure the hurtful“You’re not my dad!”or“You’re not my mom!”And yet they never giveup．They do their best to overcome the inherent challenges of stepparents and be role models for their stepchildren．These unsung(未被颂扬的)family heroes deserve“official”days ofhonor．Perhaps if we are loud enough，President Obama，who had a stepfather himself，will signinto law National Stepmother’s Day and National Stepfather’s Day．Are you with me?Follow me and get your voice heard．How cool it would be if we couldmake this happen!5 2．What does the underlined word“that’’in Paragraph l refer to?A．Father figures who are equally honored in the U．S．B．30 people who support Stepfather’s Day on the Facebook page．C．3．3 million men who live with at least one stepchild in the world．D．1 1．1％of U．S．fathers who live with at least one stepchild in the U．S．53．What did President Jimmy Carter sign into law in l978 7A．The National Grandparents’Day．B．The National Grandchildren’s Day．C．The National Stepparents’Day．D．The National Stepchildren’s Day．54．Which of the following is closest in meaning to the word“inherent”in paragraph 2 9．A．Unbelievable．B．Tough．C．Lastin9．D．Inevitable．55．What is the reason for setting an official holiday for stepparents．9A．Because they love their role as stepparents．B．Because they are often treated as heroes in the family．C．Because they deserve respect and honor as family members．D．Because they are often seen as the most loving family members．V．Daily Conversation(15 points)Directions：Pick out appropriate expressions from the eight choices below andcomplete the following dialogue by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet．A．Where are you going today B．That’s not our busC．I'll catch up on my reading to kill time D．There isn’t a cloud in the skyE．Did you catch the news today F．How long have you been waitingG．Have a nice day H．Don’t forget your book(At a bus stop)Mary：We couldn’t ask for a better day，could we?John：I know．56．I love this time of the year．Mary：This bus seems to be running late，doesn’t it? 57 ?John：I've been here for at least ten minutes．Mary：Ah，here comes a bus!John：Oh good．Wait ! 58 ．That bus goes downtown．Mary：Well，it looks like we’11 be waiting a little longer．5 9 ,I guess．John：Oh，I'm afraid you have no time for that．Here’S our bus．Mary：Oh great!I thought it would never come．John：60 !Mary：You t00．Ⅵ．Writing(25 points)Directions：For this part，you are supposed to write an essay in English in l 00—1 20 words based on the following information．Remember to write it neatly．61．你(Li Yuan)在英语学习中遇到了一些困难，希望得到帮助。

Conversation in our house is better now，not because I'm talking more．I’m just listening better and becoming less and less surprised that I like what I hear．(本题12分)1(单选题)According to the passage，the author is most likely a __________ ．(本题3分)A driverB teacherC doctorD Journalist标准答案： D2(单选题)What does the wif e mean by asking “Did you even hear what I just said? ”in Paragraph 1 ?(本题3分)A Yon should listen to me．B You didn’t want to talk with me．C You should tell me what I said just now．D You didn’t have to nod while you were listening．标准答案： A3(单选题) What is true of the author after the surgery?(本题3分)A He was required to keep silent for the first few monthsB He was worried about his recovery after the surgery．C He was unable to communicate with his son．D He was unwilling to talk to his wife．标准答案： C4(单选题)What did the author realize after the surgery?(本题3分)A His wife was a talkative woman．B His house was full of pleasant talks．C His son didn’t like talking．D His dog liked pleasant birdsongs．标准答案： B23(阅读理解题)根据材料回答问题：Passage TwoCoconut(椰子)is an unusual food for many reasons．It is one of the largest edible seeds produced by any plant．Its unusual contents also make it unique in the seed world—it consists of both “meat“ and “water” inside．The coconut meat is the white substance with which we are all familiar，as it is used extensively for cooking and flavorings；the coconut water isa white and sweet liquid．Portuguese(葡萄牙的)explorers gave the nut its name in the l5th century, referring to it as coco，meaning “ghost” in their language．The outside appearance of coconuts reminded them of a ghost’s face，and the tree has had that name ever since．The coconut has varied uses．It is used to make various cooking oils for fast food restaurants around the world to make diet materials．The coconut fluid is a favorite drink in hot climates，providing a cool and refreshing beverage right off the tree．This water is also used by manufacturers of various sports drinks．Even the shell itself has many uses，including animal food and fertilizer．And all these are only some of the uses found for the coconut fruit．The coconut tree， which produces the nut，also produces many useful things．It’s no wonder that the coconut tree has been taken as “the tree of life”．(本题12分)1(单选题)What does the underlined word“edible’in Paragraph 1 mean?(本题3分)A Visible．B Collectible．C AvailableD Eatable．标准答案： D2(单选题)The coconut got its name becauseof __________ ．(本题3分)A its hard shellB its white colorC its ghostlike appearanceD its round shape标准答案： C3(单选题)What is the passage mainly about?(本题3分)A The history of coconut．B Uses of coconut．C The discovery of coconut．D Types of coconut seeds标准答案： B4(单选题)What can be learned from the passage?(本题3分)A Coconut trees are useful plants．B Coconut oil is rare and expensive．C Coconut trunks are houses for birds．D Coconut fluid can become fertilizer．标准答案： A24(阅读理解题)根据材料回答问题：Passage ThreeMost students choose “Homestay” accommodation when they study abroad：others select Homestay even if they are not on a study visit．Stati stics show that it’s a form of accommodation gaining in popularity all the time．But what is Homestay? And what makes it so popular? Homestay means living with a family，or“host family”as we say．There are three ways of doing it：choose to learn English in a language school near to your Homestay location：have your English classes in the house with a member of the family who is a qualified teacher；select not to have classes at all when you visit——a popular choice if you want to do the tourist thing for example．Even in their busy summer period the organizations that arrange the Homestays will always try to place you with the most suitable host family to match your requirements．Placement(安置)organizations think about location，interests，language level，eating requirements，allergies (过敏)and other requests you may have．Though prices vary according to your needs，good quality Homestay accommodation can be relatively economical--andalthough you may be charged an extra amount of money if you want your Homestay in or near the city center．Even if you stay further out，you can expect your journey into the center not to exceed 30 minutes.Not only does Homestay accommodation represent value for money，it also gives you an excellent opportunity to practice English with your host family．This is a very important extra for students who like to speak as much English as possible．But if you plan to learn English，why not have your English classes in your host family．There’s no better way to learn English than this—the perfect combination of learning and accommodation combined withthe cultural experience !(本题12分)1(单选题)Homestay is an ideal choice for studentswho __________ .(本题3分)A plan to visit relativesB want to stay at homeC plan to study overseasD want to learn statistics标准答案： C2(单选题)Who will consider students’requirements before their Homestay starts?(本题3分)A The English teacher．B The placement organization.C The host family．D The language school.标准答案： B3(单选题)Which of the following is a key factor affecting the price of Homestay?(本题3分)A Nationality of the host family．B Eating habits of the host family.C Students’language level．D Students’specific needs.标准答案： D4(单选题)What can be inferred from the passage?(本题3分)A The author is in favor of Homestay accommodation．B The author is doubtful about the safety of Homestay．C The author finds Homestay arrangement complicated．D The author finds Homestay accommodation expensive．标准答案： A25(阅读理解题)根据下面材料回答问题：Passage FourUsing 1ess energy around the home is easier than you might think，saving you money while creating a heathier，more comfortable living space for you and your family． Changing a few old habits can make an impact on your energy bill， your comfort and the environment.

Each passage is followed by 5 questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single bar through the center of the letter.Passage OneHere's a familiar story. You're sitting at the dinner table with a furry, four-legged friend scratching at your feet. When you look down, those cute eyes are almost impossible to resist.What is it about a dog's gaze that makes it so charming? A new study by Japanese scientist Miho Nagasawa seems to have found the answer, and it has to do with something called the cuddle（爱抚）chemical.The cuddle chemical has another, more scientific name: oxytocin. Oxytocin is a substance in the blood that encourages bonding. Levels of oxytocin increase, for example, when a mother feeds her newborn baby. According to Nagasawa's study, the same is true when we look deeply into the eyes of a dog.The results of this study can tell us a lot about the history of the bond between humans and dogs. It all started somewhere tens of thousands of years ago. Scientists believe that wolves used to follow humans who were hunting large animals. The wolves would eat the food left behind by the humans.Humans realized that they could use the wolves to help with the hunt, and eventually both species began to work together toward survival.Over time, the wolves that interacted with the humans began to change. They became more loyal to their human partners. The wolves and humans started to depend on each other and bond with each other. These changes are what caused some of the wolves to turn into what we now know as dogs, a new specie^ evolved to better survive in their environment.This process depended a great deal on the bond humans formed with them. And according to Nagasawa's study, this bond was formed with the help of oxytocin, the cuddle chemical.11. What do we know about oxytocin?A. It regulates blood flow.B. It promotes bonding.C. It is in the human gene.D. It is good for health.12. When we look deeply into a dog's eyes, the levels of our oxytocin ____.A. reduce over timeB. go either up or downC. are on the riseD. remain unchanged13. At the beginning wolves followed humans to ____.A. eat the food left by humansB. guard against large animalsC. take humans for foodD. hunt large animals together14. Over time some wolves turned into dogs ____.A. due to their loyaltyB. due to the changing environmentC. for better survivalD. for better cooperation15. What does Nagasawa9s study aim to do?A. Explore the role of human-wolf partnership.B. Show the characteristics of the cuddle chemical.C. Explain the bond between humans and dogs.D. Understand the evolution of species.Passage TwoRed Nose Day (RND) is a well-known event in the UK. The aim of the day is to raise money for a charity called Comic Relief which helps people in need in Africa and in the UK.Comic Relief was started in 1985 by the scriptwriter Richard Curtis. He wrote the famous films 'Four Weddings and a Funeral' and 'Notting Hill'. Richard's idea to start Comic Relief was as a response to the severe famine in Ethiopia* It's called Red "Nose Day as on this day many people buy a plastic red nose to wear! The money made from selling red noses goes to the charity.Red Nose Day takes place every two years in the spring and is now so well established that many people consider it to be an unofficial. For example, many schools have non-uniform days.The slogan for the last RND was ‘Do Something Funny for Money' and the money that was collected helped to fund projects in the following areas, treating malaria （疟疾）, education, and mental health. The BBC Red Nose Day program raised £74.3 million! Money-raising events take place all over the country and many schools participate. People also donate money by post, in banks, by phone using a credit card and online.In the evening of Red Nose Day a telethon takes place on the BBC TV channels. It shows on and on a selection of the events of the day, as well as lots of comic sketches and reports of how the money raised will be spent. People also upload videos of local charity events on YouTube and Facebook.So, if you are ever in the UK on Red Nose Day, now you know why you may find normal people wearing red noses and doing silly things! It's all for a good cause.16. Red Nose Day is ____.A. a traditional holiday in the UKB. a famous event in BritainC. the helping center for poor peopleD. the popular name of a charity17.

In the past, community members lived relatively close to one another in one geographical location: in the same village, town, or city.
