If you enjoy reading don’t miss Shakespeare and Company when you visit the city of Paris. It is a famous English-language bookstore on the left bank of the river Seine. The first Shakespeare and Company in history was opened in 1919 by an American, Sylvia Beach. Ms. Beach did more than sell books. Her bookstore was also a library, and she even prepared beds for writers visiting there. Ms. Beach was not only kind to people but also good at choosing books, so her bookstore was often visited by writers like Ernest Hemingway and James Joyce. But in 1941, after the Germans took power in Paris, Ms. Beach was told to close her bookstore.
In 1951, another American, George Whitman, opened in Paris another English-language bookstore, Librairie Mistral. Since then, just as Ms. Beach did, Mr Whitman has also made his bookstore a library for people to borrow books, and a free hotel for writers to stay in. To remember Ms. Beach, Mr Whitman changed the name of his bookstore to Shakespeare and Company in 1964, two years after Ms. Beach died.
Next time when you are in Paris, don’t forget to visit this friendly bookstore, and see if you can spend a night there!

I have dreamt of taking a trip to Hawaii since I graduated, but the best thing always needs waiting. I took a trip with my friends to Haleakala National Park, which lies in Hawaii.
When we arrived at Haleakala National Park, we were advised to watch the early morning sunrise. I was lost in the sightseeing that afternoon, so I could hardly wait to see the sunrise. In the next morning, we all got out of bed very early and got to the seaside at 3 o’clock. In the first half an hour, we imagined how wonderful it would be when the first light came out through the thick clouds and how soft it would be when the light touched our skin, so we waited and waited. However, another half an hour later, I gradually lost my patience since there was nothing but the chilly darkness, and I felt that I was frozen to death. But my friends were still extremely cheerful.
Nearly another one hour later, “Amazing!” Judy burst out and we all shouted to welcome the light, which was really unbelievable. Until today, I dare say that it is the most impressive sunrise in my life. However, waiting in the morning darkness is also one memory I cannot wipe from my mind forever.
Waiting sometimes is really a hard thing for most of us as it needs patience and strong-willed determination, but what about the result after that It might turn out to be pleasing, unbelievable and satisfying. So, it is really worthwhile to wait for the best.
28. When did they see the first light of the sunrise
A. At about 3 o’clock. B. At about 4 o’clock. C. At nearly 5 o’clock. D. At nearly 6 o’clock
29. What’s the meaning of the underlined word in Paragraph 2
A. Total. B. Cold C. Terrible D. Interesting
30. What can we learn from the passage
A. The author’s friends and the author took a trip to China.
B. Hawaii is a good place to enjoy the sunrise.
C. The author enjoyed the worst sunrise in his life.
D. Sometimes, it is worthwhile to wait for the best.
31. What’s the author’s attitude towards waiting for the sunrise
A. Excited all the time. B. Afraid all the time.
C. Firstly excited then afraid. D. Firstly excited then impatient.

D
Laptop computers are popular all over the world. People use them on trains and airplanes, in airports and hotels. These laptops connect people to their workplace. In the United States today, laptops also connect students to their classrooms.
Westlake College in Virginia will start a laptop computer program that allows students to do schoolwork anywhere they want. Within five years, each of the 1500 students at the college will receive a laptop. The laptops are part of a $10 million computer program at Westlake, a 110-year-old college. The students with laptops will also have access to the Internet. In addition, they will be able to use e-mail to “peak” with their teachers, their classmates, and their families. However, the most important part of the laptop program is that students will be able to use computers without going to computer labs. They can work with it at home, in a fast-food restaurant or under the trees—anywhere at all!
Because of the many changes in computer technology, laptop use in higher education, such as colleges and universities, is workable. As laptops become more powerful, they become more similar to desktop computers. In addition, the portable computers can connect students to not only the Internet, but also libraries and other resources. State higher-education officials are studying how laptops can help students. State officials are also testing laptop programs at other universities, too.
At Westlake College, more than 60 percent of the staff use computers. The laptops will allow all teachers to use computers in their lessons. As one Westlake teacher said, “Here we are in the middle of Virginia and we’re giving students a window on the world. They can see everything and do everything.”
32. The main purpose of the laptop program is to give each student a laptop to ________.
A. connect them to libraries B. surf the Internet
C. use for their schoolwork D. work at home
33. Which of the following is true about Westlake College
A.Students there can do everything. B. 1500 students have laptops.
C. All teachers use computers. D. It is an old college in America.
34. A window on the world in the last paragraph means that students can ________.
A. get information from around the world
B.attend lectures on information technology
C. travel around the world
D. have free laptops
35. What can we infer from the passage
A. The program is successful. B.The program is not workable.
C. The program is too expensive. D. We don’t know the result of the program yet.

English is not as old 61 Chinese, but it is spoken by many people around the world every day. English 62 (speaker) are always making new words and we should be able to know where most words come from.
Sometimes, however, no one may really know 63 a word comes from. Did you ever think about why hamburgers are called hamburgers, 64 (especial) when they are not made of ham
About a hundred years ago, some men went to America from Europe. They came from a big city in Germany 65 (call) Hamburg(德国城市：汉堡). They did not speak good English, but they ate good food. Some Americans saw them eating round pieces of beef(圆形牛肉). They had never seen such 66 strange way. They couldn’t help 67 (ask) the Germans what it was. The Germans did not understand the question and answered, “We come from Hamburg.” One of those Americans owned a restaurant, and had an idea. He made up 68 (he) mind to do something new. He cooked some round pieces of bread and 69 (start) selling them. Such bread came to be called “hamburgers”. Today, “hamburgers” are sold in many countries around the world.
Whether this story is true or not, it certainly is 70 (interest).

Ladies and gentlemen,
I feel it a supreme honor to deliver a brief speech in the opening ceremony.
Primarily, the sports meeting lays emphasis on raising students’ awareness of insistent exercise. Considering that students are burdened with academic pressure, exercise, which underlies physical fitness, turns out to be integral to campus life. Biologically, regular exercise contributes to the secretion of hormone that lifts our spirits as well as alleviates our anxiety.
From my personal experience, I go to gyms on a weekly basis to do some strength training, coupled with fierce ball games including basketball and badminton. It’s regular exercise that builds the immunity defense inside my body and maintains my vigorousness in my daily life.
On balance, on behalf of students present, I sincerely wish this sports meeting to be a complete success.
