能力提升Ⅰ.阅读理解My decision to travel around China lay merely with my curiosity about the place. Before coming here, China seemed alien to me—a place that I expected to be hugely dissimilar from my own British culture.After travelling from Beijing up to Xi'an, I wanted to challenge myself by choosing a smaller town—Xiahe, in Gansu Province. I arrived in Lanzhou at around 5 a．m., but there were no buses to Xiahe. I managed to spot a policeman and attempted to explain my destination to him in simple English, praying that he would understand. I wasn't sure that he did but I just followed him anyway as I had no choice. He took me on a bus and I didn't know where I was going.Luckily, I met a student who explained to me in English that the policeman was taking me to another bus station where I could take a bus to Xiahe. During this conversation a third man said he was also a policeman and would help me buy tickets. But as he was not in uniform, I was a little doubtful.The uniformed policeman told me it was OK to go with the third man, so I got off the bus with the so-called policeman who, at this point, disappeared and I was left in the middle of nowhere. I stood panicking. Around one minute later a police car came and stopped right by me. It was the un-uniformed policeman. I got into the car and he dropped me directly at the bus station, and helped me buy the ticket.This is one of many experiences that I have had in China. I realized that however different this culture was, there was one thing that would always stand out—kindness. In the west we seem to lackthe foundation of trust, yet in China it seems that there will always be someone to answer your questions and lead you the right way.1．Which of the following is the closest in meaning to the underlined word “alien”？A．Unfriendly.

能力提升Ⅰ.阅读理解Every September in China, people love to talk about the overprotective parents following their children around everywhere during university enrollment.Now, with more than 420,000 youngsters in the UK starting their new college school year, what is their very first day like? BBC's Sean Coughlan described it in a recent report.According to Coughlan, at the very beginning it is not hard to spot something familiar to Chinese—a stream of parents arriving with their sons and daughters at the students village. Mothers, fathers and a teenager stand together like the three might have done on the first day of primary school.“The approach road to the student village is a long traffic jam of family cars, stuffed(塞满) full with boxes, pillows, and nervous families，”he writes. “The door closes on a student's room and parents and children go their separate ways. For many families, if childhood has a final moment, this is it.”But saying goodbye to parents is not the only similarity between college freshmen in the UK and China. In both cases, new arrivals most want to know about their Internet connections. “It's their most urgent concern，”notes Coughlan. “They're not so much Generation Y as Generation Wifi.”Even on their first day, university in the UK won't be an entirely lonely experience for some new students. “Before they arrive they have been using social networking to get to know their futureroommates，”writes Coughlan.Still, the first night is something no UK university student ever forgets. There are people they meet and then spend three years avoiding and people who become their friends for the rest of their lives. First week stories are all about over-partying, cooking and misguided clothing, Coughlan says.As he concludes：“These new students are entering their own soap opera of romance, friendship and ambition. It's a huge adventure that they've worked for years to achieve.”1．What is the author's purpose in writing the article?A．To introduce how UK students prepare for college.B．To show different challenges that college freshmen face in the UK and China.C．To describe how UK colleges welcome newcomers at the beginning of a new semester.D．To inform us about what the first day of going to college is like in the UK.2．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the article?A．On the first day of college, most UK freshmen don't know each other.B．When the new semester begins, most UK freshmen drive to college by themselves.C．Most British parents choose to stay around their children's college for a few days at the beginning of the semester.D．For many freshmen, when they say goodbye to their parents, they are also saying goodbye to their childhood.3．A similarity between college freshmen in the UK and China is that ________.A．the approach roads to their colleges are packed with cars filled with nervous familiesB．they have contacted their future roommates through social networking sitesC．once they get to the campus, they want to make sure that they have access to the InternetD．they spend their first week getting to know their roommates and partying4．From the article we can conclude that Sean Coughlan's report is ________.A．critical B．descriptiveC．sympathetic D．bitterⅡ.短文改错My school has taken on a new look since it moved into a new place. It is quite different of the old one. There used to be have only one classroom building and the playground is not large enough for all the students to have sports. Sometimes we had to practise run along the streets outside. The teaching conditions were even worst. Our teachers used to teach with only a blackboard, but the experiments could only be done in the classroom. But now besides the classroom building, a modern lab building has put into use, which all kinds of experiments can be done. We have not only a large playground and also a gym. Classes can be given with the help of computers and multimedia. What great changes! I feel proudly of my school.答案Ⅰ.阅读理解本文主要介绍了英国大学新生入学报到时的情况。

能力提升Ⅰ.阅读理解The coat my son John and I spotted in a store was different from the others. It was thick soft and well preserved, with a black velvet collar, beautiful tailoring, and a Fifth Avenue label at an unbelievable price: MYM28(171 yuan)．I looked at my son and we both said nothing, but John's eyes gleamed(隐约闪光). Dark, woolen topcoats were popular with teenage boys, but they could cost several hundred dollars. This coat was even better. John tried it on and turned from side to side, eyeing himself in the mirror. The fit was perfect.He wore the coat to school the next day and came home with a grin. “Did the kids like your coat？”I asked. “They loved it，”he said.Over the next few weeks, John changed. He was polite, less argumentative, more thoughtful, and overall much happier. “Good dinner, Mom，”he would say every evening. Without a word of objection he would carry in wood for the stove. One day when I suggested that he might start on his homework before dinner, John, who always put things off, said：“You're right. I guess I will.” When I mentioned this to one of his teachers, she joked that the coat must have changed him.John and I both know that clothes do not define a person, but there is something to be said for looking good. Sometimes, watching John leave for school, I've remembered what it felt like to be in the eighth grade—a time when it is as easy to try on different approachesto life as it is to try on a coat. The whole future is stretched out ahead, where all the doors are open. And if I were there right now, I would picture myself walking through those doors wearing my wonderful, magical coat.1．What can be the best title of the text?A．A magical coatB．A promising boyC．A shopping experienceD．A bright future2．From Paragraph 2 we can know that John ______.A．refused to try on the coatB．liked the coat very muchC．intended to leave the storeD．enjoyed shopping with Mom3．What does the underlined word “grin” in Paragraph 3 mean?A．A joking tone. B．A worried look.C．A low spirit. D．A big smile.4．After John wore the new coat, he ________.A．began to start homework after dinnerB．was willing to follow others' adviceC．tended to argue with his motherD．failed to help do any houseworkⅡ.阅读填句Making Peace with Your ParentsAs a teen, you're going through big changes physically and mentally. Y our interests are expanding. __1__Here is the challenge: Kids need to explore the world in new ways, and parents need to protect them from the dangers that are all out in that world. These conflicts can easily set off fireworks in otherwise calm houses. Sometimes conflicts can't be avoided. But by paying attention to the building blocks of successful relationships, you can work towards making home a happy and healthy place for you and your parents.For instance, try to find a time to talk when your parents are not angry, tired, distracted, or hungry. A good time to talk is when you're all relaxed. Timing is everything. If the conversation begins to turn into an argument, you'd better calmly and coolly ask to stop the conversation—for now. __2__ Listen to what your parents are saying, and repeat it back to them. This shows them that you're listening. __3__Respect is the building block of good communication. People who respect each other and care about each other's feelings can disagree without things getting ugly.__4__ How do you build trust? Trust comes by actually doing what you say you're going to do. Some teens find that doing fun activities with their parents can improve their relationships. Sometimes we forget that parents are more than rule makers—they're interesting people who like to watch movies. And go shopping—just like their teenagers!What do you do if you are trying your best, but your relationship with your parents continues to be rocky? __5__ You can find supportive adults, such as a teacher or a coach, who can lend an ear.Remember you can only change your own behavior. Your parents are the only ones who can change theirs.A．It also gives them a chance to clear things up if you're not on the same page.B．You can pick it up again when everyone's more relaxed.C．And then you'll be able to accept what your parents say.D．Faced with the challenge, children don't know what to do.E．You are more likely to get along with your parents and have more independence if your parents believe in you.F．And your desire to take control of your own life is growing.G．You may consider seeking outside help.Ⅲ.短文改错Some of us are having problems with our parents, as they often looked into our school bags or read our diary. I fully understand that why we are not comfortable about it, but there's no need to feel too sadly. Our parents are checking our bags or diaries make sure we're not getting into any trouble. You have probably heard some horrible stories about other kids and thought we might do same. Or perhaps they just want to connect with us and are doing it all wrong. My suggestion is: Tell them we want them to trust us as many as we'd like to trust them. If you don't think you can talk to them, write them a letter and leave it lie around—they are bound to read it.答案Ⅰ.阅读理解1．A标题归纳题。
