Parents feel that it is difficult to live with teenagers. Then again, teenagers have 1______ feeling about their parents, saying that it is not easy living with them. According to a recent research, the most common 2______ between parents and teenagers is that regarding untidiness and daily routine tasks. On the one hand, parents go mad over 3_______ rooms, clothes thrown on the floor and their children‟s refusal to help with the 4_____. On the other hand, teenagers lose their patience continually when parents blame them for 5______ the towel in the bathroom, not cleaning their room or refusing to do the shopping at the supper market.The research, conducted by St. George University, shows that different parents have different 6_______ to these problems. However some approaches are more 7_______ than others. For example, those parents who yell at their children for their untidiness, but 8_______ clean the room for them, have fewer chances of changing their children‟s 9______. On the contrary, those who let teenagers experience the 10______ of their actions can do better. For example, when teenagers who don‟t help their parents with the shopping don‟t find their favorite drink in the refrigerator, they are forced to 11_______ their actions.Psychologists say that 12______ is the most important thing in parent-child relationships. Parents should 13_______ to their children but at the same time they should lend an ear to what they have to say.

Rooms will be cleaned and bedcovers changed at least once a week. You will be given the house key and the host is there to offer help and advice as well as to take an interest in your physical and mental health. Accommodation ZonesHomestays are located in London mainly in Zones 2, 3 and 4 of the transport system. Most hosts do not live in the town centre as much of central London is commercial and not residential. Zone 3 and 4 often offer larger accommodation in a less-crowded area. It is very convenient to travel in London by underground.Meal Plans Available☆ Continental Breakfast☆ Breakfast and Dinner☆ Breakfast, Packed Lunch and DinnerIt’s important to note that few English families still provide a traditional cooked breakfast. Your accommodation includes Continental Breakfast which normally consists of fruit juice, cereal, bread and tea or coffee. Cheese, fruit and cold meat are not normally part of a Continental Breakfast in England. Dinners usually consist of meat or fish with vegetables followed by dessert, fruit and coffee.FriendsIf you wish to invite a friend over to visit, you must first ask your host’s permission. You have no right to entertain friends in afamily home as some families feel it is an invasion of their privacy. Self-Catering Accommodation in Private HomesAccommodation on a room-only basis includes shared kitchen and bathroom facilities and often a main living room. This kind of accommodation offers an independent lifestyle and is more suitablefor the long-stay student. However, it does not provide the same family atmosphere as an ordinary homestay and may not benefit those who need to practice English at home quite as much.1.The passage is probably written for ____________.A．hosts willing to receive foreign studentsB．foreigners hoping to build British cultureC．travelers planning to visit families in LondonD．English learners applying to visit families in London2.Which of the following will the host provide?A．Roomcleaning B．Medical careC．Freetransport D．Physic al training3.What can be inferred from Paragraph 3?A．Zone 4 is more crowded than Zone 2.B．The business centre of London is in Zone 1.C．Hosts dislike travelling to the city centre.D．Accommodation in the city centre is not provided.4.According to the passage, what does Continental Breakfast include?

However, the hotel's newly appointed general manager Gerd Knaust says it is the people that make the hotel successful.More than 380 employees have been working with the hotel for more than 15 years. Some of them have personal relationships with customers.''It's a people-relation business,'' Knaust says. ''They really tell me about the stories in the last 15 years. It's something very nice to listen to. It's also a lasting memory for the guests.''In fact, over the years, some of the guests have stayed in the hotel 200 or even 300 times.Knaust, who has been working in the hospitality industry for more than 30 years, started his career as a chef in Germany. During his early 30s, Knaust already moved to the top in the culinary (烹调的) field as director of kitchen of Hyatt Regency Cologne in Germany. After holding several general manager positions in Mandarin Oriental hotels, Knaust joined Hilton International as the general manager to open the Conrad and Doubletree by Hilton at Haitang Bay, Sanya in 2010.When he was appointed as the general manager of Hilton Shanghai in November, he not only was heavily involved in recruitment, sales and marketing strategies but also he worked closely with the food and beverage team to develop the hotel's restaurant concepts and menus.

A researcher was appointed to study the performance of some top referees.The researcher organized an experimental tournament involving four youth teams. Each match lasted an hour, divided into three periods of 20 minutes during which different referees were in charge.Observers noted down the referees’ errors, of which there were 61 over the tournament. Converted to a standard match of 90 minutes, each referee made almost 23 mistakes, a remarkably high number.The researcher then studied the videotapes to analyse the matches in detail. Surprisingly, he found that errors were more likely when the referees were close to the incident. When the officials got it right, they were, on average, 17 meters away from the action. The average distance in the case of errors was 12 meters. The research shows the optimum (最佳的) distance is about 20 meters.There also seemed to be an optimum speed. Correct decisions came when the referees were moving at a speed of about 2 meters per second. The average speed for errors was 4 meters per second.If FIFA, football’s international ruling body, wants to improve the standard of refereeing at the next World Cup, it should encourage referees to keep their eyes on the action from a distance, rather than rushing to keep up with the ball, the researcher argues.He also says that FIFA’s insistence that referees should retire at age 45 may be misguided. If keeping up with the action is not so important, their physical condition is less critical.1.The experiment conducted by the researcher was meant to ________. A．review the decisions of referees at the 1998 World CupB．analyse the causes of errors made by football refereesC．set a standard for football refereeingD．reexamine the rules for football refereeing2.The number of refereeing errors in the experimental matches was________.A．slightly aboveaverage B．higher than in the 1998 World CupC．quite unexpected D．as high as in a standard match3.The findings of the experiment show that ________.A．errors are more likely when a referee keeps close to the ball B．the farther the referee is from the incident, the fewer the errors C．the more slowly the referee runs, the more likely errors will occurD．errors are less likely when a referee stays in one spot4.The word “officials” (Para. 4) most probably refers to ________. A．the researchers involved in the experimentB．the inspectors of the football tournamentC．the referees of the football tournamentD．the observers at the site of the experiment5.What is one of the possible conclusions of the experiment?A．The ideal retirement age for an experienced football referee is 45.B．Age should not be the chief consideration in choosing a football referee.C．A football referee should be as young and energetic as possible. D．An experienced football referee can do well even when in poor physical condition.SYS20130711121详细信息6. 难度：中等What do you do if you don’t get into your first choice of university? That’s the dilemma that faces thousands of British students every year.Many candidates turn to Clearing, the service that helps find university p laces for students at the last moment. If they don’t have the marks to get into their first choice of institution, Clearing tells them about places available at other universities, though they might have to read another subject.But this year has seen a record number of people applying to university. This, combined with the weak economy, an uncertain job market and budget cuts at universities, means that there's been even more of a scramble for places than usual. Some sources say six students have applied for each remaining undergraduate university place.The British university admissions service, UCAS, says up to a quarter of this year’s university applicants --- almost 190,000 people --- still don’t have a place on a degree course. That’s a rise of over 46,000 students from last year.Faced with these figures, some British students might be thinking of an interesting alternative: studying abroad. The University of Nottingham, for example，is offering places at its campuses in Ningbo, near Shanghai, and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Students here can gain University of Nottingham degrees in business, accounting, engineering and English. Similarly, the University of Bolton says it has ‘unlimited’ places at its campus in the United Arab Emirates. Given the problems getting into university, the UK’s Higher Education Minister, David Willetts, encourages students who haven't made the grade to consider alternatives to university, such as apprenticeships and studying at home."There are a range of options available," he says. "People are able to reapply. They should think how they can spend their year adding that bit to their CV, which would help their application --- getting practical work experience or extra skills --- anything that strengthens their chances next year."But some experts say that rising university costs, poor long-term job prospects, and a drop in graduate recruitment mean it’s the worst time to be a university student in the UK.1.When the author says this year “there’s been more of a scramble for places” (Para. 3), he means_________________.A．more people have applied to universityB．there is more competition between the candidatesC．there are more services that help find university placesD．more places are available2.According to UCAS, there are about ____university applicants this year.A．190,000 B．46, 000 C．236, 000 D．760, 0003.David Willetts encourages students faced with the lack of places ona degree course _____.A．to consider apprenticeships and studying at homeB．to study at campus outside the UKC．to reapply next yearD．not to go to university in the UK4.Which of the following is NOT the reason that may make this year the worst time to enter university?A．It costs more to study at university.B．Long-term job prospects are worse.C．Universities offer places in other countries.D．There are fewer chances to do graduate study.5.According to the passage, what can students do if they don’t get into their first choice of university?A．They can go to work in Clearing.B．They can get practical work experience or skills and reapply next year.C．They can spend the year writing a better CV.D．They do graduate study at home.SYS201307111214四、信息匹配详细信息7. 难度：中等A .Office Systems TechnologyCourses: Keyboarding, Introduction to Information Systems, Records & Data Base Management, Business English，Document Formatting &Word Processing, Medical TerminologyTotal Credit Hours: 18Certificates: Data Entry Receptionist, Medical Admissions Clerk Contact Information: Wilma Clapp一Project Coordinator Bldg A, Room，119 Leestown Campus 164 Opportunity Way, Lexington, KY 40511 Tel: (859)246-6821B.

can play very difficult musical pieces by musicians such as Chopin and Beethoven just a few minutes after he hears them．He learns a piece of music by listening to it in parts．Then he thinks about the notes in his head．Two years ago，he played his first piece Moonlight Sonata（奏鸣曲）by Beethoven．He surprised everyone around him．Amazed that he remembered this long and difficult piece of music and played it perfectly，his teachers say Samuel is unbelievable．They say his ability is very rare，but Samuel doesn't even realize that what he can do is special．Samuel wanted to become a lawyer as it was the wish of his parents，but music teachers told him he should study music instead．Now，he studies law and music．Samuel can't understand why everyone is so surprised．"I grew up with music．My mother played the piano and my father played the guitar．About two years ago，Isuddenly decided to start playing the piano，without being able to read music and without having any lessons．It comes easily to me﹣﹣﹣I hear the notes and can bear them in mind﹣﹣﹣each and every note，"says Samuel．Recently，Samuel performed a piece during a special event at his college．The piece had more than a thousand notes．The audience was impressed by his amazing performance．He is now learning a piece that is so difficult that many professional pianists can't play it．Samuel says confidently，"It's all about super memory﹣﹣﹣I guess I have that gift．"However，Samuel's ability to remember things doesn't stop with music．His family says that even when he was a young boy，Samuel heard someone read a story，and then he could retell the story word for word．Samuel is still only a teenager．He doesn't know what he wants to do in the future．For now，he is just happy to play beautiful music and continue his studies．26．What is special

title of the passage？A．The Qualities of a MusicianB．The Story of a Musical TalentC．The Importance of Early EducationD．The Relationship between Memory and Music．31．（10分）It was a cold winter day．A woman drove up to the Rainbow Bridge tollbooth （收费站）．"I'm paying for myself，and for the six cars behind me，"she said with a smile，handing over seven tickets．One after another，the next six drivers arriving at the tollbooth were informed，"Some lady up ahead already paid your fare．"It turned out that the woman，Natalie Smith，had read something on a friend's refrigerator："Practice random kindness and senseless acts of beauty．"The phrase impressed her so much that she copied it down．Judy Foreman spotted the same phrase on a warehouse wall far away from home．When it stayed on her mind for days，she gave up and drove all the way back to copy it down．"I thought it was beautiful，"she said，explaining why she'd taken to writing it at the bottom of all her letters，"like a message from above．"Her husband，Frank，liked the phrase so much that he put it up on the classroom wall for his students，one of whom was the daughter of Alice Johnson，a local news reporter．Alice put it in the newspaper，admitting that though she liked it，she didn't know where it came from or what it really meant．Two days later，Alice got a call from Anne Herbert，a woman living in Marin．It was in a restaurant that Anne wrote the phrase down on a piece of paper，after turning it around in her mind for days．"Here's the idea，"Anne says．"Anything you think there should be more of，do it randomly．"Her fantasies include painting the classrooms of shabby schools，leaving hot meals on kitchen tables in the poor part of town，and giving money secretly to a proud old lady．Anne says，"Kindness can build on itself as much as violence can．" The acts of random kindness spread．If you were one of those drivers who found your fare paid，who knows what you might have been inspired to do for someone else later．Like all great events，kindness begins slowly，with every single act．Let it be yours!31．Why did Natalie Smith pay for the six cars behind her？A．She knew the car drivers well．B．She wanted to show kindness．C．She hoped to please others．D．She had seven tickets．32．Judy Foreman copied down the phrase because she．A．thought it was beautifully writtenB．wanted to know what it really meantC．decided to write it on a

graduates，I left university full of hope for the future but with no real idea of what I wanted to do．My degree，with honors，in English literature had not really prepared me for anything practical．I knew I wanted to make a difference in the world somehow，but I had no idea how to do that．That's when I learned about the Lighthouse Project．I started my journey as a Lighthouse Project volunteer by reading as much as I could about the experiences of previous volunteers．I knew it would be a lot of hard work，and that I would be away from my family and friends for a very long time．In short，I did not take my decision to apply for the Lighthouse Project lightly．Neither did my family．Eventually，however，I won the support of my family，and I sent in all the paperwork needed for the application．After countless interviews and presentations，I managed to stand out among the candidates and survive the test alone．Several months later，I finally received a call asking me to report for the duty．I would be going to a small village near Abuja，Nigeria．Where？What？Nigeria？I had no idea．But I was about to find out．After completing my training，I was sent to the village that was small and desperately in need of proper accommodation．Though the local villagers were poor，they offered their homes，hearts，and food as if I were their own family．I was asked to lead a small team of local people in building a new schoolhouse．For the next year or so，I taught in that same schoolhouse．But I sometimes think I learned more from my students than they did from me．Sometime during that period，I realized that all those things that had seemed sostrange or unusual to me no longer did，though I did not get anywhere with the local language，and returned to the United States a different man．The Lighthouse Project had changed my life forever．36．What do we know about the author？A．His university education focused on the theoretical knowledge．B．His dream at university was to become a

the author's experiences in Nigeria？A．He found some difficulty adapting to the local cultureB．He had learned to communicate in the local language．C．He had overcome all his weakness before he left for home．D．He was chosen as the most respectable teacher by his students．41．（10分）Scientists today are making greater effort to study ocean currents （洋流）．Most do it using satellites and other high﹣tech equipment．However，ocean expert Curtis Ebbesmeyer does it in a special way﹣﹣﹣by studying movements of random floating garbage．A scientist with many years'experience，he started this type of research in the early 1990s when he heard about hundreds of athletic shoes washing up on the shores of the northwest coast of the United States．There were so many shoes that people were setting up swap meets to try and match left and right shoes to sell or wear．Ebbesmeyer found out in his researches that the shoes﹣about 60，000 in total﹣fell into the ocean in a shipping accident．He phoned the shoe company and asked if they wanted the shoes back．As expected，the company told him that they didn't．Ebbesmeyer realized this could be a great experiment．If he learned when and where the shoes went into the water and tracked where they landed，he could learn a lot about the patterns of ocean currents．The Pacific Northwest is one of the world's best areas for beachcombing（海滩搜寻）because winds and currents join here，and as a result，there is a group of serious beachcombers in the area．Ebbesmeyer got to know a lot of them and asked for their help in collecting information about where the shoes landed．In a year he collected reliable information on 1，600shoes．With this data，he and a colleague were able to test and improve a computer program designed to model ocean currents，and publish the findings of their study．As the result of his work，Ebbesmeyer has become known as the scientist to call with questions about any unusual objects found floating in the ocean．He has even started an association of beachcombers and ocean experts，with 500subscribers from West Africa to New Zealand．They have recorded all lost objects ranging from potatoes to golf gloves．41．The underlined phrase swap meets in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to．A．fitting roomsB．trading fairsC．business talksD．group meetings42．Ebbesmeyer phoned the shoe company to find out．A．what caused the shipping accidentB．when and where the shoes went missingC．whether it was all right to use their shoesD．how much they lost in the shipping accident43．How did Ebbesmeyer prove his assumption？A．By collecting information from beachcombersB．By studying the shoes found by beachcomberC．By searching the web for ocean currents modelsD．By researching ocean currents data in the library44．Ebbesmeyer is most famous for．A．traveling widely the coastal cities of the worldB．making records for any lost objects on the seaC．running a global currents research associationD．phoning about any doubtful objects on the sea45．What is the purpose of the author in writing this passage？A．To call people's attention to ocean pollutionB．To warn people or snipping safety in the oceanC．To explain a unique way of studing ocean currentsD．To give tips on how to search for lost objects on the beach．第二节信息匹配（共1小题；每小题10分，满分10分）阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息，请在答题卡上将对应题号的相应选项字母涂黑46．（10分）首先请阅读某大学提供给学生的项目信息：46．I grow up in a very big family．My parents

模拟试题一Part A Reading Aloud(模仿朗读)Babies stick close to Mum. They’re sometimes called sea cows because they graze for eight hours a day. And they need a huge gut to digest all that grass. No wonder they look portly. Like all mammals they have to take a breath from time to time. No worries in sea rarely deeper than 10 metres. Thanks to the meadows of sea-grass they lead a sheltered and stately life. Without the unusual shape of the coast, Shark Bay would be a sandy wasteland, much like the desert that surrounds it.Part B Role Play (角色扮演)情景介绍角色：你是学生。
