I.阅读理解
A
Ever since my childhood, I have been hearing people talking about Rome. Last month, I finally had the chance to visit it. I spent three busy days there, seeing tourist attractions and walking down streets lit by Christmas decorations. There are so many things I love about the city.
Rome is one of the most ancient cities in the world and is full of wonderful relics(遗迹)from its long past. These monuments include the vast Coliseum(竞技场)where gladiators used to fight each other until death and hunt animals coming from another country. The ruins of buildings and temples are fascinating: you can't quite believe how old they are.
I studied the masterpieces of the Renaissance at university and was very excited to see them in real life. I walked around the museum in the Vatican and saw plenty of famous sculptures. The best part of the visit was, without doubt, the Sistine Chapel ceiling, painted in the early 16th century by Michelangelo. It was so breathtaking that I couldn't tear my eyes away from it.
In Rome, there is a lot of food on offer for tourists but some of it isn't of very good quality. I made an effort to find reliable restaurants to taste the popular meals of the region, like pasta with tomato, onion and bacon. I also love eating ice cream and hot chocolate under the Christmas lights.
Rome has not only lots of luxury boutiques (精品店)but also plenty of shops that were more in my price range! It was a perfect opportunity to go and buy presents for my family and friends. There was also a Christmas market, where I bought a sparkly decoration for the tree.
1. What does the underlined word "gladiators" in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Athletes. B. Butcher. C. Invaders. D. Fighters.
2. Why did the author think the ruins of buildings and temples fascinating
A. They represent Rome's religion.
B. They are very old and valuable things.
C. They are relics from Rome's distant past.
D. They include the Roman Forum and the vast Coliseum.
3. What should you be careful in choosing while visiting Rome
A. The attractions. B. The food. C. The hotels. D. The luxury shops.
4. Where is the text most likely from
A. A travel guide. B. A novel. C. A newspaper. D. A science fiction.
B
In many countries of the world, people can confidently tell you the meaning of their town or city, but most people who live in Manchester, Oxford or Birmingham would not be able to explain what the name of their city means. The name of every British town or city, however, has a long history.
Two thousand years ago, most people living in Britain were Celts. Even the word "Britain" is Celtic (凯尔特语). Then the Romans arrived and built camps which became cities called "castra". This is why there are so many place names in England which end in "-chester" or "-caster", Manchester, for example.
The Romans never reached Wales or Scotland, and many place names there are Celtic. For example, Welsh place names that begin with "Llan" come from the Celtic word for "church".
After the Romans left Britain, it was attacked by the Anglo-Saxons who were from the area of Europe that is now Germany and Holland. The names of their villages often end in "-ham" or "-ton". Some get their names from the leader of the village. Birmingham for example, means "Beormund's village"
The Anglo-Saxons were farmers and the landscape was very important to them, so we have villages called Upton (village on a hill)－a good place to build a village and Moreton ("village by a lake") where floods could make life hard. Place names that end in "-ford" (a place where you could cross a river) also describe the location of Anglo-Saxon villages.
Finally, in 1066 England became Norman-the Normans gave us the place name "grange", which means farm.
And how about London Experts cannot agree. The Romans called the city Londinium, but they were not the first inhabitants (居民). People once believed that the United Kingdom's capital city got its name from the castle of a King called Lud, but this is very unlikely. Our best guess today is that the name comes from a Celtic word meaning a fast-flowing river. Like a number of British place names, its history is lost in time.
5. According to the article, Stratford is most likely a town ____.
A. on a hill B. near a castle
C. beside a river D. with a church
6. Which of the following shows the correct order of the arrival of the inhabitants in Britain
A. The Celts-The Romans-The Normans-The Anglo-Saxons.
B. The Celts-The Romans-The Anglo-Saxons-The Normans.
C. The Romans-The Celts-The Anglo-Saxons-The Normans.
D. The Romans-The Anglo-Saxons-The Celts-The Normans.
7. What does London mean in Celtic
A. River. B. Londinium. C. Lud. D. Castle.
II..七选五
Negative thoughts we have about ourselves can destroy our spirits. Many of us have problems with negative thoughts. The negative thoughts lead to bad feelings and they make you believe that the bad things you are suffering are actually true. In short, they bring your focus on your failures, which will make you depressed. What can you do to avoid negative thoughts affecting you 11
◎Recognize that actions always follow beliefs.
Whatever you believe, you'll experience more of them. 12 . So start believing the best about yourself and believe that you're a valuable person.
◎Picture the good things.
If you want to change the negative tapes playing in your head, you have to imagine yourself positively that means judging yourself right. 13 . How would that look Draw it in your mind and expand it.
◎ 14 ．
You may talk to yourself with statements like "if only" or "what if". The former keeps reminding you of the past with regret, while the latter keeps you fearful of the future. There is nothing you can do about the past and the future isn't here yet.
◎Develop positive views.
Instead of always putting yourself down in your head, think of some things you actually like about yourself. Tell yourself "I am able. I'm good at it." instead of saying "I'm not good enough." 15 ．
Thinking poorly gets us nowhere and is extremely self-limiting. Decide, today, to turn off the negative channel in your mind and develop your true possibilities.
A. Forget the past
B. Live in the moment
C. Here are some suggestions
D. Make friends with optimistic people
E. Imagine a picture about yourself
F. Always keep positive, rather than say something negative

In many countries of the world, people can confidently tell you the meaning of their town or city, but most people who live in Manchester, Oxford or Birmingham would not be able to explain what the name of their city means. The name of every British town or city, however, has a long history.
Two thousand years ago, most people living in Britain were Celts. Even the word "Britain" is Celtic (凯尔特语). Then the Romans arrived and built camps which became cities called "castra". This is why there are so many place names in England which end in "-chester" or "-caster", Manchester, for example.
The Romans never reached Wales or Scotland, and many place names there are Celtic. For example, Welsh place names that begin with "Llan" come from the Celtic word for "church".
After the Romans left Britain, it was attacked by the Anglo-Saxons who were from the area of Europe that is now Germany and Holland. The names of their villages often end in "-ham" or "-ton". Some get their names from the leader of the village. Birmingham for example, means "Beormund's village"
The Anglo-Saxons were farmers and the landscape was very important to them, so we have villages called Upton (village on a hill)－a good place to build a village and Moreton ("village by a lake") where floods could make life hard. Place names that end in "-ford" (a place where you could cross a river) also describe the location of Anglo-Saxon villages.

7. What does London mean in Celtic
A. River. B. Londinium. C. Lud. D. Castle.
◎语篇解读 本文为一篇说明文，介绍了英国一些城市名称的含义及由来。
5．C 推理判断题。由第五段最后一句Place names that end in“-ford”(a place where you could cross a river) also describe the location of Anglo-Saxon villages．可知以-ford结尾的名字是和河流有关的。
6．B 细节理解题。由第二段中的Two thousand years ago, most people living in Britain were Celts．可知The Celts为第一批到达英国的居民：根据第二段中的Then the Romans arrived可知The Romans为第二批；根据第四段中的After the Romans left Britain, it was attacked by the Anglo-Saxons who were from the area of Europe that is now Germany and Holland.可知The Anglo-Saxons为第三批；根据倒数第二段中的Finally, in 1066 England became Norman可知The Normans为最后一批。
7.A 细节理解题。根据最后一段倒数第二句Our best guess today is that the name comes from a Celtic word meaning a fast-flowing river.可知伦敦这个名字来自凯尔特语，意思是一条湍急的河流。

Dear Sir or Madam,
I'm Li Hua, a Chinese student studying in New Zealand. I'm writing to ask for some information about traveling in New Zealand since I plan to spend my summer vacation there. Could you recommend some popular traveling routes to me
As we know, New Zealand is famous for its beautiful scenery and places of interest and I want to know more details. Besides, I'm also interested in the local food, which is spoken highly of among us Chinese students. At last, what else should I prepare for the traveling
I'd be grateful to receive a reply at your earliest convenience.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
