I am at the level that almost everyone can reach. Though I focused on English for over two years, an English expert or a native speaker can easily find out my problems—the lack of professional learning, mistakes throughout my writings, and sentences and expressions based on Chinese thoughts. Though I have many weaknesses in English, I have harvested a lot of things many people at my age wish to have. This proves that English, considered a subject that can hardly be self-taught, may be acquired (学得) through everyday learning and practice. Some of my friends, including my parents, think it is a miracle (奇迹). They believe it is my perseverance that helps me learn English. It helps, I admit, but it deserves not all the credit. I don’t know yet if it’s difficult to overcome my weaknesses, but I know I’ll be proud of myself when I grasp everything that helps improve my English.Many students with English teachers to turn to, English classes to study in and new English learning devices and books to refer to, can’t learn English well. Why? To answer that question, I have to ask you, “Why do you learn English?” I may receive many different answers, but there is a direct answer: To use it every day. From this point we know there’s great similarity between English and other subjects like maths. Not everyone becomes mathematician, but everyone must learn to use it in daily life.36. The author’s weaknesses in English don’t include______.A. the lack of professional learningB. mistakes throughout his writingsC. expressions based on Chinese thoughtsD. poor pronunciation37. The author intends to ______.A. tell us that English is hard to learnB. tell us it is important to learn EnglishC. show that he has learned English very wellD. tell us how to learn English well through his own experience38. The author learns English ______.A. by himselfB. by turning to English teachersC. in English classesD. with the help of his parents39.According to the author, learning English well must have the followingsEXCEPT ______.A. perseveranceB. everyday learning and practiceC. clear purpose—to use itD. new English learning devices and booksB.How to Study Smarter, Not HarderHere are some of our favorite study tips that will help any student study smarter, not harder:Recite As You StudyReciting—saying things out loud should first take place as you read through each paragraph or section. Test yourself. This will help you to understand as well as learn faster because it is more active than reading or listening. It will also help you to notice your mistakes and the topics you have trouble understanding.Take Fuller NotesNotes should be in your own words, brief and clear. They should be tidy and easy to read. Writing notes will help you better than just underlining as you read, since it forces you to rewrite ideas in your own words.Study the MiddleThe best time to review is soon after you’ve learned something. You are more likely to remember the material at the beginning and the end of the lesson, so make sure you focus on the middle when you review.Sleep On ItStudy before going to bed, unless you are very tired. It’s easier to remember material you’ve just learned after sleeping than a fter an equal period of daytime activity, because your brain continues to think even after you’ve fallen asleep.Combine Memory and UnderstandingThere are two ways to remember: by memorizing and by understanding. Multiplication tables(乘法表), telephone numbers, and math formulas(公式)are better learned by memorizing(记忆). Ideas are best learned by understanding.The more ways you have to think about an idea, the more meaning it will have; the more meaningful the learning, the better you can remember it. Pay attention to similarities in ideas and concepts, and then try to understand how they fit in with things you already know. Never be satisfied with anything less than a completely clear understanding of what you are reading. If you are not able to follow the thought, go back to the place where you first got confused and try again.40. You can notice your mistakes by _______.A. saying things out aloudB. taking notesC. studying the middleD. sleeping on it41. When taking notes, you should _______ to better help you with reading.A. underline important notesB. write notes in your own wordsC. take down every detailD. write as quickly as possible42. The writer advises you to _______ as it is easier for you to remember material.A. study after a period of activityB. do some exercise after studyingC. study as soon as you get upD. study before going to sleep43. Which of the following is NOT helpful for your understanding?A. Thinking about an idea in different ways.B. Relating ideas and concepts with what you already know.C. Reading from the beginning to the end without stop.D. Going back to what first made you confused and start again.CStudents who say they never or hardly ever used dictionaries may speak English well but usually write poorly, because they make many mistakes.The students who use dictionaries most do not learn especially well either. The ones who look up every new word do not read fast. Therefore they do not have time to read much. Those who use small two-language dictionaries have the worst problems. Their dictionaries often give only one or two words as translations of English. But one English word often has many translations in a foreign language and one foreign word has many translations in English.The most successful students are those who use large college edition dictionaries with about 100,000 words but do not use them too often. When they are reading, these students first try to get the general idea and understand new words from the context. Then they reread and use the dictionary to look up only key words that they still do not understand. They use dictionaries more for writing. If they are not sure how to spell a word, they always use a dictionary. Also, if they think a noun might have an unusual plural form, they check this in a dictionary.44. According to the passage, which of the following is WRONG?A. Dictionaries have little effect on learning to speak English.B. Whatever new words you meet while reading, never use dictionaries.C. Small two-language dictionaries have serious shortcomings.D. Reading something for the first time, you’d better not use dictionaries.45. This passage mainly tells us .A. that students shouldn’t use small two-language dictionariesB. what were the shortcomings of small two-language dictionariesC. why students should use large college edition dictionariesD. what dictionary students should choose and how to use it46. Which is NOT mentioned in this passage?A. How to make good use of a dictionary.B. When to use a dictionary.C. How to improve spoken English.D. How to practice reading fast.DWhat are the most popular courses at Harvard University, US?Unsurprisingly, Intro to Economics and Intro to Computer Science claim the top two spots. But what about Classical Chinese Ethical and Political Theory (《中国古典伦理及政治理论》), a course focused on ancient Chinese philosophers (哲学家) and their theories? As the third most popular course, it has drawn so many students that Harvard had to move the class to its Sanders Theater, the biggest lecture hall on campus.According to The Atlantic, Professor Michael Puett requires his students to read original texts Such as Confucius’ Analects (<<论语>>) and the Mencius (<<孟子>>). But doesn’t that make the class boring ?Not at all, says The Atlantic: “It’ s clear that students are attracted by Puett’s promise: This coursewill change your life.”Puett introduce his students not just to a completely different culture worldview. Moreimportantly , he puts Chinese thought “in the context (背景) of contemporary （当代的） American life to help 18 and 19-year-olds figure out how to be good human beings and become successful people”. Puett told The Atlantic that nowadays , more students are pressured to think big and achieve individual excellence. They usually direct all of their courses, and even their activities after class, towards practical career goals.However, Puett believed that being calculating(算计的) about one’s plansis the wrong way to make any sort of important life decision.“The Chinese philosophers would say that this strategy（策略） makes it harder to remain open to other possibilities,” he explained to The Atlantic.“Students who do this are not paying enough attention to the daily things that actually inspire them.”Our smallest actions ,said Chinese philosophers, have ripple effect(连锁反应).To really change our lives for the better, we have to start with mundane things.“Holding open the door for s omeone or smiling at the grocery clerk(杂货铺店员) can change the course of the day by affecting how we feel,” said Puett.“Paying attention to small clues can change everything that we can become as human beings.”47. What are the things that students can learn in Professor Michael Puett’s course?A. How to be a better person.B. The culture of ancient China.C. How to make their big dreams come true.D. A complete introduction to Confucius and Mencius.48. Which of the following is TRUE according to the article?A. The texts the students read have been translated into English.B. Harvard had to move the big class to a theater outside of its campus.C. Classical Chinese Ethical and Political Theory is the most popular course at Harvard.D. It wasn’t expected that so many students would be interested in ancient Chinese philosophers and their theories.49. Why is it bad to be totally calculating about one’s plans according to Puett?A. Students won’t dare to think big.B. Students won’t be practical enough to achieve their goals.C. Students won’t pay enough attention to improving their daily lives.D. Students will not take part in all kinds of activities after class.50. What does the under lined word “mundane” mean in the last paragraph?A. great.B. valuable.C. ordinary.D. friendly.四、七选五(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

From now on, on your way home, find something 27 to notice. It doesn’t have to be something you see –it could be scent (香味) of fresh bread, or it could be the 28 of the wind slightly rustling （发出沙沙声）the leaves.”“Please look for these things, and 29 them.

C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑AA controversial new study has claimed that men really are more intelligentthan women．The study concluded that men’s IQs are almost four points higherthan women’s.British-born researcher John Philippe Ruston says the finding could explainwhy so few women make it to the top in the workplace. He claims the “glassceiling” phenomenon is probably due to inferior (差的) intelligence，ratherthan lack of opportunity.The University of Western Ontario psychologist reached his conclusion after scrutinizing the results of university ability tests taken by 1 00,000 studentsaged 17 and 18 of both sexes.A focus on the factors such as the ability to quickly grasp a complex concept，verbal reasoning skills and creativity― some of the key factors of intelligence ―showed the male teenagers had IQs that were an average of 3.63points higher. The average person has an IQ around 100.The findings，which held true (适合) for all classes and levels of education,overturn (推翻) 100-year opinion that men and women average the same in generalmental ability. They also conflict with evidence that girls do better in schoolexams than boys.But Professor Ruston argues that the faster maturing of girls leads to them outshining (胜过) boys in the classroom.36. The report is mainly about ______.A. a study that shows men are cleverer than womenB. the “glass ceiling” phenomenonC. Professor Ruston’s theory on IQD. the difference between male and female37.

We can infer that the average woman has an IQ of ______.A. a little less than 100B. 100C. more than 100D. 96.3739. Which of the following opinions does Professor Ruston NOT accept?A. Men’s IQs are almost four points higher than women’s.B. Few women make it to the top in the workplace.C. Men and women average the same in general mental ability.D. The faster maturing of girls leads to them outshining boys in the classroom.BSome people don't mind being fat. Other people can keep slim( 苗条) withoutany effort. But a lot of people do put on too much weight and don't like it.The question is : what can they do about it? Some believe exercise can behelpful.

But what sort of food should you choose?Some believe that the less they eat, the slimmer they will be. They don' t eat anything until they become weak with hunger. Some stick to milk and bananas. You' 11 find you need a lot of bananas, and unless you live where they grow, they aren't cheap. Another theory says that if you eat things like hard - boiled eggs, apples with their skins on, and lean meat which are hard for your stomach to digest, the more you eat, the thinner you get. This is because you use up the fat in your body to get the energy to digest the food.For most of us these methods are too extreme (极端). The simplest way is just to cut down on the carbohydrates; that means not eating bread, potatoes, cakes, sugar, rice , and so on and eating anything else you like. It' s straight —forward and often quite effective. Still others like to be more scientific. They are calorie counters. They get a table which tells them that, for example, 100 grams of roast leg of lamb give you 330 calories and a 50 gram of Yorkshire pudding gives you 130 calories.40. There seems nothing wrong with exercise EXCEPT that____________A. it makes you sweatB. it' s hard workC. it tires you outD. it makes you eat more41. The practical method suggested in this passage means___________.A. sticking to bananasB. not eating many carbohydratesC. eating things that are hard to digestD. eating as little as possible42. A calorie is a unit(单位) of_____________.A. weightB. powerC. electricityD. heat43. Which of the following do you think is the best title for the passage?A. Various Ways of Losing WeightB. Don't Eat Too MudC. Ways to Keep FitD. Food and HealthCIn every school there is a “top” crowd that sets the pace, while the others follow their lead. Let’s say the top crowd decides that it is smart towear bright red sweaters. Pretty soon everybody is wearing a bright red sweater.There is nothing wrong with that, except the fact that on some people bright red sweater is extremely unbecoming. The situation can even become dangerous, if the top crowd decides that it is smart to drink or to drive carsat seventy miles an hour. Then the people who follow the lead are endangering their lives. They are like the sheep being led to the butcher.Now, chances are that you have come across situations like these more than once in your life; chances are that one time or another you probably did something you knew to be wrong. You may have excused yourself by saying, “Gee, the crowd does it.” Well, let the crowd do it, but don’t do it yourself. Learn to say, “No.”Develop your own standards and your own judgment. If you know the crowd is planning something you disagree to, have the courage to bow out mannerly. You’ll have the satisfaction of standing on your own two feet.44. Which is the best title for this passage?A. Follow the Lead.B. Top Crowd.C. Being Yourself.D. Bright Red.45. The author doesn’t think it good wearing red sweaters if ________.A. the crowd does itB. you can’t afford themC. you don’t look good in redD. the situation isn’t safe46.

You can take a fold-up on the train and as it goesindoors with you, it’s secure.For longer journeys, a road bike with drop handlebars and narrow tyres(轮胎)is a good choice. Try Specialized, from £400. Note that the riding positionencourages you to look downwards, which can be dangerous.Mountain bikes are best suited to off-road travel; their fat and strongtyres are good for climbing steep, muddy slopes(斜坡). Good brands include Trekand Giant, with prices starting at less than £300.A hybrid bike(halfway between a mountain bike and a road bike) is a good compromise(折中) with more upright riding position and thin, fast tyres.Ridgeback makes great hybrids, from around £350.For a classic sit-up-and-beg bike, it’s still har d to beat Pashley, whichmakes its bikes by hand. Expect to pay around £500.Once you’ve picked your bike, sizing is crucial or you may suffer back orneck pain. A famous bike shop will help you choose the right size frame. Theheight of the seat should be adjusted carefully---again, a good shop will advise. If you only plan to cycle once or twice a month, you can choose a lower-priced bike, but for regular use, paying more means better quality: cheaper bikes need more frequent adjustment of brakes and gears (刹车和齿轮) ---and tend to be heavier, too. Finally, items such as mudguards(挡泥板) aren’t always included.36.he man purpose of this passage is to .A. encourage people to go to work by bikeB. advertise some famous bike brandsC. give advice on how to choose a bikeD. introduce the advantages of different bikesording to the passage, which kind of bike is least likely to be stolen?A. A folding bike.B. A road bike.C. A mountain bike.D. A hybrid bike.38.hich company’s bikes are hand made?A. Giant’s.B. Specialized’s.C. Ridgeback’sD. Pashley’s.39.rom the last paragraph, we can know that.A. a cheap bike is fit for regular useB. a cheap bike may not have mudguardsC. an expensive bike may be heavier than a cheap oneD. you may suffer back or neck pain riding a cheap bikeBvery hour spent in watching TV, DVDs and videos as an adult reduces life expectancy by almost 22 minutes, a study suggests. And viewing TV for an average of six hours a day can cut short your life by five years.The research claims that a sedentary(久坐的) lifestyle is as bad for health as smoking and obesity, because of the dangers caused by inactivity and the greater opportunities it offers for unhealthy eating.The academics conducting the study set out to calculate the overall risk to life expectancy from watching television. Their research involved more than 11,000 people over the age of 25.Writing in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, they concluded. "TV viewing time may be associated with a loss of life, which is similar to other major chronic disease risk factors such as physical inactivity and obesity."The researchers, from the University of Queensland, used information from the Australian Diabetes, Obesity and Lifestyle Study, together with population and death rate data.But they said: "Although we used Australian data, the effects in otherindustrialized and developing countries are likely to be similar, considering the large amounts of time spent watching TV and similarities in disease patterns." In the United Kingdom, the average amount of time spent watching TV is four hours a day, compared with five hours in the United States.Earlier this year, a separate study suggested the risk of developing type 2 diabetes and heart disease, or dying early, rises by as much as 20 percent after just two hours a day in front of the box.England's Chief Medical Officer, Sally Davies, said: "Physical activity offers huge benefits and these studies back what we already know - that a sedentary lifestyle carries additional risks. We hope these studies will help more people realize that there are many ways to get exercise."40.We can learn from the passage that_______A. whether you watch TV or not has nothing to do with how long you will liveB. if an adult watches TV for six hours every day, he will die five yew earlierC. physical inactivity and obesity won't shorten your lifeD. a sedentary lifestyle offers huge benefits.41.he word "it" in the second paragraph refers toA. a sedentary lifestyleB. eatingC. smokingD. obesity42. What do we know from the last three paragraphs?A. People in the United Kingdom watch TV longer than those in the United States.B. That a sedentary lifestyle carries additional risks isn't supported by other studies.C. Watching TV for two hours a day will increase the risk of illnesses or dying early by 20%.D. It is through these studies that we know a sedentary lifestyle carries additional risks.43. The passage is intended to _______.A. inform the readers of a research on watching TVB. warn the readers of the harm of watching TV and hope they do sportsC. tell the readers watching TV is also a good way to relaxD. tell the readers large amounts of people often watch TVCSince many of you are planning to study at a college or university in this country, you may be curious to know what you usually do in a typical week, how you can get along with your fellow students, and so on. These are the questions I want to discuss with you today.First, let’s talk about what your weekly schedule will look like. No matter what your major may be, you can expect to spend between four and six hours a week for each class attending lectures. Lectures are usually in very large rooms because some courses such as introduction to sociology or economics often have as many as two or three hundred students, especially at large universities. In lectures, it’s very important for you to take notes on what the professor says because the information a lecture contains is often different from the information in your textbooks. Also, you can expect to have exam questions based on the lectures. So it isn’t enough to just read your textbooks; you have to attend lectures as well. In a typical week you will also have a couple of hours of discussion for every class you take. The discussionsection is a small group meeting usually with fewer than thirty students where you can ask questions about the lectures, the reading, and the homework. In large universities, graduate students, called teaching assistants, usually direct discussion sections.If your major is chemistry, or physics, or another science, you’ll also have to spend several hours a week in the lab, or laboratory, doing experiments. This means that science majors spend more time in the classroom than non science majors do. On the other hand, people who major in subjects like literature or history usually have to read and write more than science majors do.44. The main purpose of this text is .A. to help the students to learn about university lifeB. to persuade the students to attend lecturesC. to encourage the students to take part in discussionsD. to advise the students to choose proper majors45. We can learn from the passage that university professors .A. spend about 5 hours on lectures each weekB. must join the students in the discussion sectionsC. prefer to use textbooks in their lecturesD. require the students to study beyond the textbooks46. According to the author, science majors usually .A. have to work harder than non science majorsB. spend less time on their studies than non science majorsC. consider experiments more important than discussionsD. read and write less than non science majorsDMost people think of racing when they see greyhounds (灰狗) and believe they need lots of exercise. They can actually be quite lazy! Greyhounds are good at fast races but not long-distance running. They do need regular exercise but they like to run for a short burst and then get back on the bed or a comfortable seat. Another misunderstanding is that greyhounds must be aggressive because they are big in size. In fact greyhounds love people and are gentle with children.Greyhounds can live for 12 –14 years but usually only race for two or three years, and after that they make great pets. They don’t need a lot of space, don’t make a lot of noise, and don’t eat a lot for their size.Normally, greyhounds can be as tall as 90 cm. There is, however, a small-sized greyhound, which stands only 33cm. Greyhounds come in a variety of colors. Grey and yellowish-brown are the most common. Others include black, white, blue, red and brown or a mix of these.Greyhounds have smooth body coats, low body fat and are very healthy. Because they’re slim they don’t have the leg problems like other dogs thesame height. But they do feel the cold, especially since they would much rather be at home in bed than walking around outside.47. The text is written mainly______.A. to tell people how to raise greyhoundsB. to let people know more about greyhoundsC. to explain why greyhounds are aggressiveD. to describe greyhounds of different colors48. It can be inferred that greyhounds_______.A. love big doghousesB. like staying in bed all dayC. make the best guard dogsD. need some exercise outdoors49. Why does the author say that greyhounds make great pets?A. They are big in size.B. They live a very long life.C. They can run races for some time.D. They are quiet and easy to look after.50. If you keep a pet greyhound, it is important________.A. to keep it slimB. to keep it warmC. to take special care of its legsD. to take it to animal doctors regularly四、七选五(共5小题;每一小题2分，总分为10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最优选项。

We are going to eat something special for dinner tonight. The hotel we are staying in is cheap, and very clean. We plan to stay here for a few days, visit some places in the city, and then travel to Chiang Mai in the North.Tuesday, March 27th Bangkok is wonderful and surprising! The places are interesting. We visited the famous market which was on water, and saw a lot of fruits and vegetables. Everything is so colorful, and we have taken hundreds of photos already! Later today we will leave for Chiang Mai. We will take the train north, stay in Chiang Mai for two days, and then catch a bus to Chiang Rai. Friday，March 30th Our trip to Chiang Rai was long and boring. We visited a small village in the mountains. The village people here love the quiet life ---no computers or phones. They are the kindest people I have ever met. They always smile and say “hello”. Kathy and I can only speak a few words of Thai, so smiling is the best way to show our kindness. I feel good here and hope to be able to come back next year.36. The diaries above show the writer’s ______ days in Thailand.A. 3B. 7C. 15D. 3037.

A teacher? A doctor? How about an ice-cream taster?Yes, there really is a job where you can get paid to taste ice cream. Just ask John Harrison an “Official Taste Tester” for the past 21 years. Testing helps manufacturers (制造商) to be sure of a product’s quality. During his career Harrison has been responsible for approving large quantities of the sweet ice cream—as well as for developing over 75 flavors (口味).Some people think that it would be easy to do this job; after all, you just have to like ice cream, right? No—there’s more to the job than that, says Harrison, who has a degree in chemistry. He points out that a dairy or food-science degree would be very useful to someone wanting a career in this “cool” field.In a typical morning on the job, Harrison tastes and assesses 60 ice cream samples. He lets the ice cream warm up to about 12℉. Harrison explains: “You get more flavor from warmer ice cream, which is why some kids like to stir (搅拌) it, creating ice-cream soup.”While the ice cream warms up, Harrison looks over the samples and grades each one its appearance. “Tasting begins with the eyes,” he explains. He checks to see if the ice cream is attractive and asks himself, “Dose the product have the color expected from that flavor?” Next it’s time to taste!Continuing to think up new ideas, try out new flavors, and test samples from so many kinds of ice cream each day keeps Harrison busy but happy---working at one cool job.40. What is John Harrison’s job?A. An official.B. An ice-cream taster.C. A chemist.D. An ice-cream manufacturer.41. According to John Harrison, to be qualified（合格的）in the “cool field”, it is helpful to ________.A. keep a diary of workB. have a degree in related subjectsC. have new ideas every dayD. find out new flavor each day42. What does Harrison do first when testing ice cream?A. He stirs the ice cream.B. He examines the color of the ice cream.C. He tastes the flavor of the ice cream.D. He lets the ice cream warm up.43. Which of the following is probably the best title of the passage?A. Tasting with EyesB. Flavors of Ice CreamC. John Harrison’s LifeD. One Cool JobCWe know the westerners like to plan for their time carefully in order to do all the things that are important to them. So if your American or English friend asks you to dinner, he usually invites you a week ahead. But if you really have no time and can't go to the dinner, you can ring him to say sorry. The dinner is usually served at home, sometimes at a restaurant. You should get there on time, and don't forget to put on your fine clothes. It is also a good idea to take some little presents to your friend, such as flowers, chocolates and so on. When you are at dinner, you should also observe (遵守) some other customs. Here I'll give you some dos and don'ts about them in the following: 1) Don't leave bones on the table or the floor. (You should put them on your plate with fingers.)2) Don't use your bowl to drink soup, but use your spoon to help you instead.3) Don't talk with much food in your mouth.4) Don't ask others to have more wine. (This is quite different from that in China.)5) After dinner, use your napkin (餐巾) to clean your mouth and hands.6) Make sure small pieces of food are not left on your face.Then after dinner, you can stay there a little time. And your friend will be pleased if you leave in half an hour or so. Next day, you had better ring him up to thank him for the good dinner.44. If your American or English friend wants to invite you to dinner, he will invite you _________A. on the night before the dinnerB. on the day before the dinnerC. at the last momentD. a week before the dinner45. It would be impolite to _____.A. put bones on your plates with fingersB. persuade others to drink moreC. drink soup with your spoonD. make sure that there is nothing left on your face after dinner46.

That is the message Dr. Shen Ziyin wants to give the world. And the Chinese doctor claims that he has found an answer to the problems of aging.His solution is a herbal medicine to slow the process of aging.Dr. Shen Ziyin has been trained in Western medicine. At the same time he studied traditional Chinese medicine. And, he has been working for the past forty years to put together the best of both and find a cure for aging. He has taken a hint from the ancient Chinese medicine system called “shen”.According to Shen, it is the kidney（肾脏）which adjusts the functioning of the body as well as its aging process. It is responsible for the level of activity that the human bodies go through. Studies conducted by Dr. Shen show that herbal medicine based on the shen system slow the aging process, says a report in The Telegraph newspaper.We notice that when people grow old, they have reduced strength, loss of hair, backache, weakness in general, and wrinkles, among others. This happens because when people grow old, their bodies produce T-cells. These T-cells contain a particular substance called Fas. Fas makes the cells in the body destruct themselves.So the only way to slow down aging is to slow the production of T-cells in the body. This can happen if people eat low calorie food. Then the body is not active enough to produce extra T-cells. But, is going hungry all the time a good price to pay for staying young?This is where Dr. Shen’s herbal medicine comes in. But how effective it will be, only time can tell.47. How did Dr. Shen find the solution to the problem of aging?A. By studying Western medicine.B. By learning traditional Chinese medicine.C. By combining both Western and Chinese medicine.D. By doing research on both Western and Chinese people.48. What plays the most important role in keeping people young according to Shen?A. Medical treatment.B. People’s good kidney.C. Level of people’s activity.D. Positive life attitude.49. The reason why people become old is that _________.A. their bodies produce T-cellsB. their bodies are unable to fight diseasesC. they have reduced strength, loss of hairD. they become weaker and weaker50. We can probably learn from the passage that _________.A. producing more low calorie food allows people to keep youngB. the more Chinese herbal medicine people drink, the better for healthC. people should try to quicken the production of T-cells in the bodyD. it remains unknown how effective Dr. Shen’s herbal medicine is四、七选五(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

If students want to be admitted to the seven prestigious universities, they can______.A. only pass the interview.B. only take the national exam.C. only take the independent exam.D. either take the national exam or take the independent exam.37. What’s the purpose of students sitting one independent exam to gain entrance to the seven universities?A. It can reduce students’ load to take several exams.B. The universities will have the same standard to test students.C. There will be less trouble marking students’ test papers.D. It can avoid fierce competition among these universities.38.

What is the advantage of universities selecting students according to independent examinations?A. Students needn’t take the national exam.B. Students ’education cost can be lowered.C. Students’ abilities and talents can be better found.D. It can encourage middle schools to recommend more qualified students.BThe United Nations is warning that the world is not prepared to deal with the fast growth of cities. The World Economic and Social Survey 2013 calls for new ways to meet the needs of city populations. More than 6.5 billion people are expected to be living in cities by 2050.Most new city dwellers will be in developing countries. The United Nations says the effect on limited resources in many countries will be huge. The World Economic and Social Survey points to the increasing demand for energy, water, sanitation, public services, education and health care.The world population is expected to rise to more than nine billion by 2050, two-thirds of all people are expected to live in cities. The United Nations says about 80 percent of this growing urban population will be found in Africa and Asia.The report says sustainable development of urban areas requires coordination and investments to deal with important issues, these include land-use, food security, job creation and transportation.Willem Van Der Geest is with the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs, he says cities need to work closely with rural communities, so that food supplies can be secured, and the environment can be protected."We need enough integration(整合，融合) with cities... An integration between the rural and urban economies is absolutely vital for issues of nutrition, food security, and environmental sustainability."The report says development in a sustainable（可持续发展）way is important to end poverty. The report also examines the problem of food insecurity, which affects hundreds of millions of people around the world. One in eight people still severely lack nutrition.UN officials say some things are clear. The Assistant Secretary-General for Economic Development, Shamshad Akhtar, says world food production will have to increase by 70%, that increase will be needed to feed the additional 2.3 billion people expected on the planet by the middle of the century. She says an important part of meeting that need is to waste less food. "There has to beefforts to reduce food wastage. ."Food and nutrition security are core elements of the sustainable development agenda.40.

He notes however, that although patients have such interest, only up to 2% of doctors in the United States offer e-mail services.Using e-mail, doctors can make sure of their advice and point patients to patients information materials and sources on the Internet. It’s said that more than 10.000 health-oriented websites already exist now.However some people worry that widespread use of medical e-mail might set up two kinds of care—one “haves” and another for the “have-nots”. But Pal points out that “In the near future nearly every library wil l offer (Internet and e-mail)services in the United States, ” allowing even low-income patients to use such means. Pal also talks about other possible barriers to acceptance of medical e-mail.“Doctors may be unwilling to offer e-mail services for fear of increasing workload and uncertainty about the time they spent,” he explained, and patients may worry that their medical information might be read by others. “But these problems can all be solved,” he adds.E-mail may well help us a lot in health care, Pa l concludes. “Patients want to know more than they can get in normal clinics,” he points out, “and they might find communication on the information superhighway less fearful than face-to-face dialogue with their doctors.”36. The article introduces a new way of patient-doctor communication ________.A. by e-mailB. by visiting websitesC. by searching the InternetD. by using the computer37. According to the passage, some people worry that widespread use of medical e-mail might ______.A. help both those who have access to the Internet and those who don’tB. meet double doubts from those who have access to the Internet and those who don’tC. make trouble between those who can use the Internet and those who cannotD. make trouble between those who have Internet experiences and those who haven’38. All the following points are advantages of using medical e-mail EXCEPT _______.A. it is more reliableB. it is less frighteningC. it enables patients and doctors to understand each other betterD. it provides patients with more choices of treatment39.What does the underlined word “barriers” mean?A. Ways.B. Dangers.C. Things that prevent progress.D. Secrets.BThousands of years ago, birthdays were considered special days. On birthdays, the bad spirits were able to harm you and change your life. It was believed that the only way to solve the problem was to have your friends and family around you, so that good wishes and presents would keep the bad spirits away. Also, noisemakers were thought to be used at parties as a way of scaring away the evil spirits.The custom of lighting candles was created by people believing that the gods lived in the sky. By lighting candles and torches, they were sending a signal or prayer to the gods, so they could be answered. Blowing out the candles and making a wish were thought to be another way of sending a signal or a message.This is how the way we celebrate our birthdays came about. But different cultures celebrate in different ways.The birthday story in the Bible（圣经）that we know best is about the birth of the Christ in Bethlehem（地名：伯利恒）. For nearly 2000 years since that day, the Christian world has been honoring this birth. The day many Englishmen celebrate is, of course, Christmas. There are other references to birthday parties. King Pharaoh celebrated his birthday by making a feast for his court followers. That was over 4000 years ago. The story of King Herodtells that on his birthday he made a supper for his lords, high captains and other special friends in Galilee (地名：加利利).40. According to the passage, good wishes and presents given by one’s friendsand family on his birthday can _____________________.A. cheer him upB. push bad spirits awayC. bring him a big fortuneD. prove that he’s a popular person41. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. People send messages to the gods by lighting or blowing out the candles.B. The gods celebrate their birthdays by lighting candles.C. The custom of lighting candles originated with the gods.D. The gods will help people realize their dreams on their birthdays.42. The two ancient kings’ ways of celebrating their birthdays show__________________.A. how great the two kings wereB. that their court followers were awarded the special honorsC. the two kings’ excellent cooking skillsD. how different cultures celebrate in different ways43. The passage is mainly about __________________.A. the functions of the noises made on birthdays.B. how to scare away the bad spirits on birthdaysC. how birthdays came aboutD. the origin of a famous day ChristmasCLanguage is always changing. In a society where life continues year after year with few changes, the language does not change either. The earliest known languages had difficult grammar but a small, limited vocabulary. Over the century, the grammar changed, and the vocabulary grew. For example, the English and Spanish people who came to America during the sixteenth century gave names to all the new plants and animals they found. In this way, hundreds of new words were introduced into English and Spanish vocabularies. Today life is changing very fast, and language is changing fast too.There are several major(主要) language families in the world. Some scientists say there are nine main families, but other scientists divide them differently. The languages in each family are connected, and scientists think that they came from the same parent language. About 3 percent of the people in the world speak languages that are not in these major families.44.

Spanish and English changeDIf Confucius(孔子）were still alive today and could celebrate his September 28 birthday with a big cake, there would be many candles. He’d need a fan or a strong wind to help him put them out.While many people in China will remember Confucius on his special day, few people in the United States will give him a passing thought. It’s nothing personal. Most Americans don’t eve n remember the birthdays of their own national heroes.But this doesn’t mean that Americans don’t care about Confucius. In many ways he has become a bridge that foreigners must cross if they want to reach a deeper understanding of China.In the past two decades, the Chinese studies programs have gained huge popularity in Western universities. More recently, the Chinese government has set up Confucius Institutes in more than 80 countries. These schools teach both Chinese language and culture. The main courses of Chinese culture usually include Chinese art, history and philosophy（哲学）. Some social scientists suggest that Westerners should take advantages of the ancient Chinese wisdom to make up for the drawbacks of Westerners philosophy. Students in the United States, at the same time, are racing to learn Chinese. So they will be ready for life in a world where China is an equal power with the United States. Businessmen who hope to make money in China are reading books about Confucius to understand their Chinese customers.So the old thinker’s ideas are still alive and well.Today China attracts the West more than ever, and it will need more teachers to introduce Confucius and Chinese culture to the West.As for the old thinker, he will not soon be forgotten by people in the West, even if his birthday is.47. The opening paragraph is mainly intended to ________A. provide some key facts about ConfuciusB. attract the readers’ interest in the subjectC. show great respect for the ancient thinkerD. prove the popularity of modern birthday celebrations48. We can learn from Paragraph 4 that American students______A. have a great interest in studying ChineseB. take an active part in Chinese competitionsC. try to get high scores in Chinese examsD. fight for a chance to learn Chinese49. What is the best title for the passage?A. Forgotten Wisdom in AmericaB. Huge Fans of the ChineseLanguageC. Chinese Culture for WesternersD. Old Thinker with a Big Future50.

The following are some tips for you.People equal friendsFriends usually begin with strangers. Getting in touch with other people is the first step to make a friend. Friends can’t be made in empty air. Best friends take time to make.Friends understand friendsFriends understand each other when talking. Many unpleasant personal quarrels can be avoided if you will take the time to understand others’ feelings and points of view.Friends touch friendsTouching is a warm from of communication between friends. When you see best friends communicating, you will notice them stand close together, touch each other comfortably and listen to each other. Sometimes a friendly touch is more powerful than words.Friends praise friendsPraise is a powerful tool to make a friend. Honest praise can affect (影响) your friends’ lives. So try to praise your friends, including your general ones.Friends can be loyal (忠诚的) and trustworthyTrust and loyalty go hand in hand for friends. Friends can share secrets with you, because good friends never break confidence (信心) and are loyal forever.36. From Joy Steven’s words, we can conc lude that ________.A. a friend in need is a friend indeedB. it is never too late to make a friendC. it is late to make a friend when you need oneD. everyone needs a friend in his life37. To make and keep many friends, you need to do the following EXCEPT ___________.A. get in touch with peopleB. understand your friendsC. praise your friendsD. quarrel with your friends38. The passage mainly tells us ______________.A. how to communicate with a friendB. how to develop friendshipC. when to make a friendD. how to praise a friendBLiving and dealing with kids can be a tough job these days, but living and dealing with parents can be even tougher.If I have learned anything in my 16 years, it is that communication is very important, both when you disagree and when you get along. With any relationship, you need to let other person know how you are feeling. If you are not able to communicate, you drift apart. When you are mad at your parents, or anyone else, not talking to them doesn’t solve anything.Communication begins with the concerns (关心) of another. It means that you can’t just come home from school, go up to your room and ignore (不理睬) everyone. Even if you just say “Hi”, and see how their day was for five minutes, it is better than nothing.If you looked up the word “communication” in a dictionary, it would say “the exchange of ideas, the conveyance(表达)of information, correspondence(通信), means of communication: a letter or a message”. To maintain (保持) a good relationship, you must keep communication strong. Let people know how you feel, even if it’s just by writing a note.When dealing with parents, you always have to make them feel good about how they are doing as a parent. If you are trying to make the m see something as you see it, tell them that you’ll listen to what they have to say, but ask them politely to listen to you. Yelling or walking away only makes the situation worse.This is an example: one night, Sophie went to a street party with her friends. She knew she had to be home by midnight after the fireworks, but she didn’t feel she could just ask to go home. That would be rude. After all, they had been nice enough to take her along with them. Needless to say, she was late getting home. Her parents were mad at first, not when Sophie explained why she was late, they weren’t as mad and let the incident go. Communication is the key factor here. If Sophie’s parents had not been willing to listen, Sophie would have been in a lot of trouble.Communicati on isn’t a one-way deal: it goes both ways. Just remember: if you get into a situation like Sophie’s, telling the other person how you feel---listening is the key factor to communication.39. In the writer’s view, dealing with parents is __________ than wi th children.A. more difficultB. easierC. more uninterestingD. more interesting40. The main idea of the second paragraph is __________.A. the importance of friendshipB. to make your feeling known to othersC. the importance of communicationD. the disagreement between generations41. When parents and children are in communication, the key to a happy relationship is that __________.A. children should always obey their parentsB. they should be equalC. parents play the leading partD. both make the opposite know their feelings42. The example in this passage proves that ___________.A. Sophie’s parents are willing to listen to herB. Sophie is very polite to her parentsC. Sophie did well in explaining her being lateD. communication is the solution to misunderstandingCWhen I was six, Dad brought home a dog one day, who was called “Brownie”. My brothers and I all loved Brownie and did different things with her. One of us would walk her, another would feed her, then there were baths, playing catch and many other games. Brownie, in return, loved each and every one of us. One thing that most touched my heart was that she would go to whoever was sick and just be with them. We always felt better when she was around.One day, as I was getting her food, she chewed up (咬破) one of Dad’s shoes, which had to be thrown away in the end. I knew Dad would be mad and I had to let her know what she did was wrong. When I looked at her and said, “Bad girl,” she looked down at the groun d and then went and hid. I saw a tear in her eyes.Brownie turned out to be more than just our family pet, she went everywhere with us. People would stop and ask if they could pet her. Of course she’d let anyone pet her. She was just the most lovable dog. There were many times when we’d be out walking and a small child would come over and pull on her hair. She never barked (吠) or tried to get away. The funny thing is that she would smile. This frightened people because they thought she was showing her teeth. Far from the truth, she loved everyone.Now many years have passed since Brownie died of old age. I still miss days when she was with us.43. What would Brownie do when someone was ill in the family?A. Look at them sadly.B. Keep them company.C. Play games with them.D. Touch them gently.44. We can infer from Paragraph 2 that Brownie__________.A. would eat anything when hungryB. felt sorry for her mistakeC. loved playing hide-and-seekD. disliked the author’s dad45. Some people got frightened by Brownie when she__________.A. smiledB. barkedC. rushed to themD. tried to be funny46. Which of the following best describes Brownie?A. ShyB. PoliteC. BraveD. CaringDI grew up in a house where the TV was seldom turned on and with one wall in my bedroom entirely lined with bookshelves, most of my childhood was spent on books I could get hold of. In fact, I grew up thinking of reading as natural as breathing and books unbelievably powerful in shaping perspectives (观点) by creating worlds we could step into, take part in and live in.With this unshakable belief, I, at fourteen, decided to become a writer. Here too, reading became useful. Every writer starts off knowing that he has something to say, but being unable to find the right ways to say it. He has to find his own voice by reading widely and discovering which parts of the writers he agrees or disagrees with, or agrees with so strongly that it reshapes his own world. He cannot wri te without loving to read, because only through reading other people’s writing can one discover what works, what doesn’t and, in the end, together with lots of practice, what voice he has.Now I am in college, and have come to realize how important it is to read fiction (文学作品). As a law student, my reading is in fact limited to subject matter—the volume (量) of what I have to read for classes every week means there is little time to read anything else. Such reading made it all the clearer to me that I live in a very small part in this great place called life. Reading fiction reminds me that there is life beyond my own. It allows me to travel across the high seas and along the Silk Road, all from the comfort of my own armchair, to experience, though secondhand, exciting experiences that I wouldn't necessarily be able to have in my lifetime.47. What can be inferred about the author as a child?A. He never watched TV.B. He read what he had to.C. He found reading unbelievable.D. He considered reading part of his life.48. The underlined word “voice” in the second paragraph most probably means “”.A. an ideaB. a sound qualityC. a way of writingD. a world to write about49. What effect does reading have on the author?A. It helps him to realize his dream.B. It opens up a wider world for him.C. It makes his college life more interesting.D. It increases his interest in worldwide travel.50. Which of the following can be the best title of this text?A. Why do I read?B. How do I read?C. What do I read?D. When do I read?四、单词拼写（共10小题；每小题0.5分，满分5分）51.

It kidnaps our peace of mind, tortures our evenings when we return home from work and murders those beautiful moments. But like all enemies, this enemy can also be got rid of !Put your body in motion.Moving from the chair to the couch while watching TV is not being physically active! Physical activity is one of the most important ways to keep stress away by clearing your head and lifting your spirits. Physical activity also increases endorphin levels--- the natural “feel-good” chemicals.LaughSome say that laughter is the best medicine---well, in many cases, it is! Do you know that it takes 15 facial muscles to laugh? Lots of laughing can make you feel good--- and, that good feeling can stay with you even after the laughter stops. So, head off stress with regular doses of laughter by watching a funny movie or cartoons, reading a joke book, or even make up your own riddles…laughter can make you feel like a new person!Everyone has those days when they do something really silly or stupid. Instead of getting upset with yourself, laugh out loud! No one’s perfect! Life s hould be about having fun. So, lighten up! Have fun with friends.Being with people you like is always a good way to get rid of your stress. Get a group together to go to the movies or play a board game---or just hang out and talk. Friends can help you work through your problems and let you see the brighter side of things.Spill(发泄) to someone you trust.Instead of keeping your feelings bottled up inside, talk to someone you trust or respect about what’s bothering you. It could be a friend, a parent, someone in your family, or a teacher. Talking out your problems and seeing them from a different view might help you figure out ways to deal with them. Just remember, you don’t have to let it alone!Lend a hand.Get involved in an activity that helps others. It’s almost impossible to feel stressed out when you’re helping someone else. It’s also a great way to find out about yourself and the special qualities you never knew you had! Signing up for a service project is a good idea, but helping others is as easy as saying hello, holding a door, or volunteering to keep a neighbor’s pe t. The feeling you will get from helping others is greater than you can imagine!In conclusion, remember, you’re not alone---everyone has stresses in their lives…it’s up to you六、书面表达（20分）据调查，人们对学生网上交友持不同意见。

Not until the eleventh century, when a young lady from Constantinople brought her fork to Italy, did the custom reach Europe.By the fifteenth century the use of the fork was wide-spread in Italy. The English explanation was that Italians were unwilling to eat food touched with fingers, “seeing all men’s fingers are not alike clean.Anyone who used a fork to eat with was laughed at in England for the nexthundred years. Not until the late 1600’s did using a fork become a common custom.36. The custom of eating with a fork was ________.A. brought to Europe from AmericaB. begun when forks first inventedC. brought to Europe from ConstantinopleD. thought of by the Italians37. By the fifteenth century, forks were used________.A. all over ItalyB. only in ConstantinopleC. by the kings and queens of EuropeD. in England38. The English thought that Italians used forks in order to________.A. imitate（模仿）the people of the EastB. keep their food cleanC. impress visitors with their good mannersD. amuse (逗笑) the English39. The best title of the passage is “_________’.A. Eating with a ForkB. The History of Eating with a ForkC. A Way of EatingD. A Custom of EatingBDo you love the holidays, but hate gaining weight? You are not alone. Holidays are times for feasting and celebrating. Many people are worried about their weight. With proper planning, though, it is possible to keep normal weight during the holidays. Whether it is celebrating at the office party or sitting down for the traditional family dinner, you should regard eating as a chance for tasting a variety of foods. The idea is to enjoy the holidays but not to eat too much. You don’t have to turn away from the foods that you enjoy. Here are some tips for preventing weight gain and maintaining/keeping physical fitness:Don’t skip meals. Before you leave home, have a small, low-fat meal or snack. This may help to avoid getting too excited before delicious foods.Control amount of food. Use a small plate (about 10 inches) and put aside the large ones that may encourage you to “load up”. You should be most comfortable eating an amount of food about the size of your fist. Once you have your “tasting” serving, move away from the buffet (自助餐). This helps to prevent eating again and again as your appetite (胃口) is inspired by the sight of food.Begin with soup and fruit or vegetables. Fill up beforehand on water-based soup and raw fruit or vegetables. Or drink a large glass of water before you eat to help you to feel full.Stick to physical activity. Don’t let exercise take a break during the holidays. A 20-minute walk after a meal can help to burn off excess calories. Avoid high-fat foods. Dishes that look oily or creamy may have a large amount of fat. Choose lean meat (瘦肉). Fill your plate with salad and green vegetables. Use lemon juice instead of creamy food.40.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A. You should never eat delicious foods.B. Drinking some water or soup before eating helps you to eat less.C. Holidays are happy days but they may bring you weight problems.D. Physical exercise can reduce the chance of putting on weight.41. Which of the following can NOT help people to lose weight according to the passage?A. Eating lean meat.B. Creamy food.C. Eating raw fruit or vegetables.D. Physical exercise.42. Many people can’t control their weight during the holidays mainly because they ________.A. can’t help being tempted to eat constantlyB. take part in too many partiesC. enjoy delicious foods sometimesD. can’t help turning away from foods43. If the passage appeared in a newspaper, which section/part is the most suitable one?A. Holidays and Festivals section.B. Student Times Club section.C. Fashion section.D. Health and Fitness section.CLast year college students in America spent an estimated $700 on textbooks on average. The National Association of College Stores reported more than five billion dollars in sales of textbooks and course materials.The association spokesman Charles Schmidt says electronic textbooks now just make up 2%～3% of sales. But he says that is expected to reach 10%～15% by 2012.Online versions(版本) are now available for many of the most popular college textb ooks. An e­textbook can cost half the price of a new print textbook. But students usually lose access to them after the end of the term. And the books cannot be placed on more than one device(设备)，so they are not easy to share.So what do students think of e­textbooks？Administrators at Northwest Missouri State University wanted to find it out. Earlier this year they tested them with 500 students in 20 classes.The university is unusual. It provides laptop computers for all 7,000 of its full­time students. It does not require students to buy their textbooks either. They rent them to save money. The school aims to save even more by moving to e­textbooks.The students in the survey reported that downloading the books from the Internet was easy. They liked the idea of carrying lighter backpacks. And 56% said they were better able to find information.But most found that using e­textbooks did not change their study habits. And 60% felt they read more when they were reading on paper. In all，almost half the students said they still liked physical textbooks better.But the survey found that cost could be a big influence.55% said they would choose e­textbooks if using them meant their textbook rental fee would not increase.Roger Von Holzen heads the Center for Information Technology in Education at Northwest Missouri State University.

Tourists from the United Kingdom make up the bulk (主体) of visitors to Scotland. In 2002, for example, UK visitors made 18.5 million visits to Scotland, staying 64.5 million nights and spending £3.7 bn. In contrast, overseas residents made 1.58 million visits to Scotland, staying 15 million nights and spending £806 m. In t erms of overseas visitors, those from the United States made up 24% of visits to Scotland, with the United States being the largest source of overseas visitors, and Germany (9%), France (8%), Canada (7%) and Australia (6%), following behind.Scotland is generally seen as clean, unspoilt destination with beautiful scenery which has a long and complex history, combined with thousands of historic sites and attractions. These include prehistoric stone circles, standing stones and burial chambers, and various Bronze Age, Iron Age and Stone Age remains. There are also many historic castles, houses, and battlegrounds, ruins and museums. Many people are drawn by the culture of Scotland.The cities of Edinburgh and Glasgow are increasingly being seen as a cosmopolitan（全世界的）alternative to Scotland’s countryside, with visitors year round, but the main tourist season is generally from April to October inclusive. In addition to these factors, the national tourist agency, Visit Scotland, have deployed a strategy of niche (适当的) marketing, aimed at exploiting, amongst other things, Scotland’s strengths in golf, fishing and food and drink tourism. Another significant, and increasingly popular reason for tourism to Scotland —especially by those from North America—is genealogy, with many visitors coming to Scotland to explore their family and ancestral roots.47．People from ________ visited Scotland most.A. the USAB.

I am anxious to give you some advice.First of all, you may drink a cup of warm water after you get up, which will help you cleanse your body. Then, you should eat healthy meals, especially your breakfast, which will contribute to your health. Of course, there is no need for you to go on a diet. As to your food, you can add some fruits, vegetables and meat. You may know the saying: An apple a day keeps the doctor away. Besides, you should do morning exercises, eye exercises and make full use of your PE lessons to help you keep healthy. Moreover, before going to bed, you can keep your feet in hot water for a while, which is of great help to help you relax.My dear, follow it, please. Nothing is more important than health. Just as it says: Health is “1”, and the others are “0”. Once “1” loses, everything will lose.Please write back soon and tell me what you think about my advice.Best wishes for you!Liu Ying高一英语寒假作业五(M1U2)参考答案二、单词拼写：1. independence2. handling3. starved4. scene5.behavior6. punished7. valuable8. boring9.cash 10.

Generation gap is a common problem, but both parents and children should try their best to solve it in order to live a happy life.As parents, we should often communicate with our children in an equal and friendly way to get them to share what they are doing and they are worried about. Besides, we can do something to help them deal with what they come across during their growth. What’s more, we should show respect for them and their choices, giving them some room to do what they want. In addition, when there are times when we don’t agree, we should share our advice with them instead of giving them orders.As children, we should respect and love our parents, who afford and offer us so much. When we are puzzled or happy, we can turn to them for help or share with them. Moreover, it is a good way to introduce some new subjects to our parents, which will bring both of us happiness.In all, we should start out with love and, of course, we will end up sharing our love.Yours sincerely,Beauty高一英语寒假作业九(M2U1)参考答案高一英语寒假作业参考答案第 3 页共7 页二、1. unexplained 2. search 3. due 4. witness 5. showed6. possibility7. research8. frightening9. made 10. disappoited, progress11. similar 12. evidence, existence 13. average 14. convinced 15. case16. creatures 17. disappointed 18.

From 2010 to 2012, the number of bicycles increased by 25% because riding a bicycle is convenient and a good form of exercise. Over 20,000 new taxis appeared in the past two years. People take taxis because it can save a lot of time and the charge is reasonable. The number of private cars has doubled, since private cars are convenient and comfortable. Last but not least, the number of buses has increased by 1,000, but public transportation is still considered as slow and crowded and its service should be further improved.It can be concluded that people now have many choices when they travel and that traffic will become more and more convenient.高一英语寒假作业十三(M2U3)参考答案A二、1. preserve 2.
