It was Monday. Mrs. Smith's dog was hungry, but there was not any meat in the house.
Considering that there was no better way, Mrs. Smith took a piece of paper, and wrote the following words on it: “Give my dog half a pound of meat.” Then she gave the paper to her dog and said gently: “Take this to the butcher, and he's going to give you your lunch today.”
Holding the piece of paper in its mouth, the dog ran to the butcher's. It gave the paper to the butcher. The butcher read it carefully, recognized that it was really the lady's handwriting and soon did it as he was asked to. The dog was very happy, and ate the meat up at once.

The next day, the dog came again exactly at noon. And as usual, it brought a piece of paper in the mouth. This time, the butcher did not take a look at paper, and gave the dog its meat, for he had regarded the dog as one of his customers’.

Tom arrived at the New York airport two hours before the flight to Paris. He was wearing three shirts, a jacket, two pairs of socks, a pair of shorts, and two pairs of jeans. He was carrying one small backpack, which was very full, but he didn’t have any other luggage. Tom needed to meet a man named Tony before he checked in for his flight. He found Tony near the Air France counter. Tony gave him a round-trip ticket and a small package.
“Give this package to Jean-Paul at the airport in Paris. He will have a sign with your name on it. I think you can find him easily,” Tony said, “You don’t have any luggage, right ”
“Only this backpack,” Tom answered. “You said I could bring one carry-on bag.”
“That’s right. One carry-on bag is fine. Have a good trip.”
“Thanks.”
Is Tom a criminal (罪犯) Not at all. He is an air-courier(空中信使). And he paid only $110 for the round-trip ticket to Paris. Air couriers get cheap airline tickets because they take important packages and papers to foreign countries. Businesses sometimes need to get packages and papers to people in foreign countries by the next day. Often, the only way they can do this is to use an air-courier company. It is not cheap for a business to send a package with an air courier, but it is quick.
Every year about 80,000 people worldwide travel as air couriers. The number of tickets for courier travel is growing by about 10 percent a year. However, air-courier travel isn’t for everyone. But if you have very little money, can be flexible(灵活的) about your travel plans, and don’t mind wearing the same clothes for a week, it can be a great way to take a vacation!
41. Why was Tom wearing so many clothes for his travel
A. Because they were the uniforms for air couriers.
B. Because that made him easier to be recognized.
C. Because his backpack had no room for his clothes.
D. Because he did not have any luggage with him
42. An air courier is a person who ______.
A .manages a business company in foreign countries
B. organizes international flights for tourists
C. travels around the world with cheap tickets
D. delivers papers and packages to foreign countries.
43. Businesses choose the air-courier service because ______.
A. it costs less B. it is flexible
C. it saves time D. it grows fast
44. One of the disadvantages of traveling as an air courier is that he ______.
A. cannot decide when and where to travel
B. cannot take any luggage with him
C. has to wear two pairs of shoes
D. saves little money from the travel
45. The author of the text mainly ______.
A. describes the activities of a law-breaker
B. suggests an ideal way to everyone for traveling
C. argues against the air-courier travel
D. tells us about a developing business
C
Porridge doesn't have a very tasty name, does it It doesn't have a very tasty reputation, either. I'm here to try and convince you that porridge isn’t boring and tasteless, that it can be a delicious, convenient and very healthy way to start the day.
If you’ve never eaten it (although you probably have), porridge is a type of food served for breakfast. It is usually a type of grain, like rice or oat (燕麦), mixed with either milk or water, and often heated up. It is often thicker than liquid, but not solid and is very easy to digest, so it's a better option for people who are ill, and it provides long-lasting energy for the day.
Porridge preparation--the amount of ingredients (配料) and cooking time—depends on what you choose to use as your porridge base. If I'm cooking for myself, I put a very big handful of ‘rolled’ oats in a saucepan, add a little bit of water and about 200ml of milk, and let the mixture boil. I stir the porridge constantly, and it takes about five to ten minutes to cook.
Once it's cooked, the fun part is adding the flavors. Porridge alone doesn't have a very strong flavour. Although some people think this makes porridge boring, I think this is what makes porridge exciting! It is like a blank piece of paper—you can add almost anything you want to the porridge base. Greens, nuts and dried fruits are very healthy options to add and can give you energy for the day. But if you don't like these, or you're allergic, then honey and chocolate are also very tasty options. (Just don’t add too much!)
One of the best things about porridge You can make it almost anywhere in the world. Either oats or rice or both are “staple foods” for many people across the world. You can usually buy big bags of either, then add local ingredients to make your porridge interesting—whatever is cheap and convenient to find, wherever you are. I am currently in Mexico, and I love to heat my oats up with milk, then mix in peanuts and pumpkin seeds and cacao nibs, and I put a layer of sugar over the top to make my porridge sweeter.
Porridge Hopefully it sounds a lot tastier now!
46. According to the author, what is the best thing about porridge
A. It provides long-lasting energy for the day.
B. It is cheap and convenient to make.
C. It's a better option for people.
D. It is never boring and tasteless.
47. What is the purpose of the text
A. To give brief introduction to various porridge.
B. To show how to prepare porridge for the patient.
C. To warn us not to have porridge for breakfast.
D. To introduce the benefits of porridge.
48. Which of the following statements is TRUE
A. Porridge is often thicker, liquid and solid.
B. Porridge alone has a very strong flavor.
C. Porridge is to many people's liking.
D. Porridge is only served for breakfast.
49. What's the author's favourite flavor
A. Porridge with Sugar. B. Porridge with oats.
C. Porridge with fruit. D. Porridge with milk.
50. The underlined word “staple” in the last paragraph probably means ______.
A. snack B. main C. left-over D. imported

[1] Do you want to live a happier, less stressful life Try laughing for no reason at all. That’s how thousands of people start their day at Laughter Clubs around the world.
[2] The first Laughter Clubs was started in Mumbai, India, in 1995, by Dr Madan Kataria. “Children laugh about 300 times a day. Adults laugh between 7 and 15 times a day,” says Dr Kataria. “Everyone’s naturally good at laughing – it’s the universal（共同的） language.” There are now more than 500 Laughter Clubs India and over 1,300 worldwide.
[3] Many doctors are also interested in the effects of laughter on our health. According to a 5-year study at the UCLS School of Medicine in California, with laughing there is less stress in the body. Laughter improves our health against illness by about 40%.
[4] So what happens at a Laughter Club I went along to the nearest club in the south of London to find out. I was quite nervous at the beginning of strangers, and I was worried about looking stupid. Our laughter teacher told us to clap our hands（拍手） and say “ho ho ho, ha ha ha” while looking at each other. Although we couldn’t tell the differences between fake laughter and real laughter, they still produced the same healthy effects.
[5] Surprisingly, it worked! After ten minutes, everybody there was laughing for real and some people just couldn’t stop! At the end of the class I was shocked by how relaxed and comfortable I felt. So if you’re under stress, then start laughing.
51. According to Dr Madan Kataria, we know adults ______. (no more than 10 words)
52. The writer was nervous at the beginning of the class because ______. (no more than 15 words)
53. When did the people in the club begin to laugh for real (no more than 5 words)
54. How did the writer feel at the end of the class (no more than 10 words)
55. Which is the best title for the passage (no more than 10 words)

“That’s right. One carry-on bag is fine. Have a good trip.”
“Thanks.”

Businesses sometimes need to get packages and papers to people in foreign countries by the next day. Often, the only way they can do this is to use an air-courier company. It is not cheap for a business to send a package with an air courier, but it is quick.
Every year about 80,000 people worldwide travel as air couriers. The number of tickets for courier travel is growing by about 10 percent a year. However, air-courier travel isn’t for everyone. But if you have very little money, can be flexible(灵活的) about your travel plans, and don’t mind wearing the same clothes for a week, it can be a great way to take a vacation!

C
Porridge doesn't have a very tasty name, does it It doesn't have a very tasty reputation, either. I'm here to try and convince you that porridge isn’t boring and tasteless, that it can be a delicious, convenient and very healthy way to start the day.
If you’ve never eaten it (although you probably have), porridge is a type of food served for breakfast. It is usually a type of grain, like rice or oat (燕麦), mixed with either milk or water, and often heated up. It is often thicker than liquid, but not solid and is very easy to digest, so it's a better option for people who are ill, and it provides long-lasting energy for the day.
Porridge preparation--the amount of ingredients (配料) and cooking time—depends on what you choose to use as your porridge base. If I'm cooking for myself, I put a very big handful of ‘rolled’ oats in a saucepan, add a little bit of water and about 200ml of milk, and let the mixture boil. I stir the porridge constantly, and it takes about five to ten minutes to cook.
Once it's cooked, the fun part is adding the flavors. Porridge alone doesn't have a very strong flavour. Although some people think this makes porridge boring, I think this is what makes porridge exciting! It is like a blank piece of paper—you can add almost anything you want to the porridge base. Greens, nuts and dried fruits are very healthy options to add and can give you energy for the day. But if you don't like these, or you're allergic, then honey and chocolate are also very tasty options. (Just don’t add too much!)
One of the best things about porridge You can make it almost anywhere in the world. Either oats or rice or both are “staple foods” for many people across the world. You can usually buy big bags of either, then add local ingredients to make your porridge interesting—whatever is cheap and convenient to find, wherever you are. I am currently in Mexico, and I love to heat my oats up with milk, then mix in peanuts and pumpkin seeds and cacao nibs, and I put a layer of sugar over the top to make my porridge sweeter.
Porridge Hopefully it sounds a lot tastier now!

46. 细节理解题。由题干关键词the best thing about porridge可将答案定位于倒数第二段。由倒数第二段中的 “You can make it almost anywhere in the world. Either oats or rice or both are “staple foods (主食)” for many people across the world. You can usually buy big bags of either, then add local ingredients to make your porridge interesting—whatever is cheap and convenient to find, wherever you are.”可知，粥最好的事情之一就是便宜且方便制作。故选B项。

[1] Do you want to live a happier, less stressful life Try laughing for no reason at all. That’s how thousands of people start their day at Laughter Clubs around the world.
[2] The first Laughter Clubs was started in Mumbai, India, in 1995, by Dr Madan Kataria. “Children laugh about 300 times a day. Adults laugh between 7 and 15 times a day,” says Dr Kataria. “Everyone’s naturally good at laughing – it’s the universal（共同的） language.” There are now more than 500 Laughter Clubs India and over 1,300 worldwide.
[3] Many doctors are also interested in the effects of laughter on our health. According to a 5-year study at the UCLS School of Medicine in California, with laughing there is less stress in the body. Laughter improves our health against illness by about 40%.
[4] So what happens at a Laughter Club I went along to the nearest club in the south of London to find out. I was quite nervous at the beginning of strangers, and I was worried about looking stupid. Our laughter teacher told us to clap our hands（拍手） and say “ho ho ho, ha ha ha” while looking at each other. Although we couldn’t tell the differences between fake laughter and real laughter, they still produced the same healthy effects.
[5] Surprisingly, it worked! After ten minutes, everybody there was laughing for real and some people just couldn’t stop! At the end of the class I was shocked by how relaxed and comfortable I felt. So if you’re under stress, then start laughing.

【答案与解析】
Dear Susan,
My classmates really appreciate your excellent teaching, but we think you can make some improvements. I am writing to offer you some advice.
To begin with, I hope you can slow down a little bit when giving us a lecture because some students find it hard to keep up with you. Secondly, we will have a better understanding of the text if you can combine the learning material with some western culture. Furthermore, we expect to see some classic English movies in the language lab after class in order to broaden our horizons. Finally, we hope you can organize the English Corner regularly to help us practice speaking English, by which we can improve our spoken English quickly.
I believe you will consider my suggestions.
Yours sincerely ,
Li Hua
