When I revealed that I was planning to travel around Britain by public transport，everyone I saw said，“Gosh，you're brave！” But it never occurred to me to go any other way. Driving in Britain is such a dull experience these days. There are far too many cars on the road，nearly double what there were when I first came here，and in those days people didn't actually drive their cars. They just parked them in the driveway and cleaned them once every week or so. About twice a year they would “get the car out” for a pleasant drive to visit relatives or take a trip.
Now everyone drives everywhere for everything，which I don't understand because there isn't a single feature of driving in Britain that has even the tiniest measure of enjoyment in it. Just consider the average multi-storey (多层的) car park. You drive around for ages，and eventually find a space that is exactly two inches wider than average car. Then，because you are parked next to a pillar (柱子) ，you have to climb over the seats and end up squeezing out of the passenger door，in the process transferring all the dirt from the side of your car to the back of your smart new jacket. Then you go hunting for some distant pay-and-display machine，which doesn't give change.
And that's just one tiny part of the driving experience. There are all the other annoyances of motoring，like traffic lights on busy roundabouts (环形交通枢纽) that never let you advance more than 20 feet at a time，and motorway service areas where food is much more expensive. Motorized vehicles are ugly and dirty. They occupy every pavement，turn ancient market squares into disorderly and untidy groups of metal，and cause petrol stations and other discouraging places to appear in great number. They are horrible and awful and I wanted nothing to do with them on this trip.
24. Why did the author decide to travel by public transport
A. Because he didn't have a car.
B. Because he hated driving in Britain.
C. Because he wasn't familiar with roads in Britain.
D. Because he was inspired by how people used to travel.
25. What did the author mainly complain about in Paragraph 2
A. The inconvenience of parking cars. B. The unreasonable parking fees.
C. The uncleanness of car parks. D. The improper use of cars.
26. How is the last paragraph developed
A. By providing examples. B. By making comparisons.
C. By following the order of time. D. By following the order of space.
27. What would the author probably talk about in the paragraph that follows
A. The terrible accidents caused by vehicles. B. The bother caused by driving cars.
C. His travels by public transport. D. His past driving experience.
C
It is widely known that any English conversation begins with the weather. Such a fixation with the weather finds expression in Dr. Johnson's famous comment that “When two Englishmen meet，their first talk is of weather. ” Though Johnson's observation is as accurate now as it was over two hundred years ago，most commentators fail to come up with a convincing explanation for this English weather-speak.
Bill Bryson，for example，concludes that，as the English weather is not at all exciting，the obsession with it can hardly be understood. He argues that “To an outsider，the most striking thing about the English weather is that there is not very much of it. ” Simply，the reason is that the unusual and unpredictable weather is almost unknown in the British Isles.
Jeremy Paxman，however，disagrees with Bryson，arguing that the English weather is by nature attractive. Bryson is wrong，he says，because the English preference for the weather has nothing to do with the natural phenomena. “The interest is less in the phenomena themselves，but in uncertainty. ” According to him，the weather in England is very changeable and uncertain and it attracts the English as well as the outsider.
Bryson and Paxman stand for common misconceptions about the weather-speak among the English. Both commentators，somehow，are missing the point. The English weather conversation is not really about the weather at all. English weather-speak is a system of signs，which is developed to help the speakers overcome the natural reserve and actually talk to each other. Everyone knows conversations starting with weather-speak are not requests for weather data. Rather，they are routine greetings，conversation starters or the blank “fillers”. In other words，English weather-speak is a means of social bonding.
28. The author mentions Dr. Johnson's comment to show that .
A. most commentators agree with Dr. Johnson
B. Dr. Johnson is famous for his weather observation
C. the comment was accurate two hundred years ago
D. English conversations usually start with the weather
29. What does the underlined word “obsession” most probably refer to
A. A social trend. B. An emotional state.
C. A historical concept. D. An unknown phenomenon.
30. According to the passage，Jeremy Paxman believes that .
A. Bill Bryson has little knowledge of the weather
B. there is nothing special about the English weather
C. the English weather attracts people to the British Isles
D. English people talk about the weather for its uncertainty
31. What is the author's main purpose of writing the passage
A. To explain what English weather-speak is about.
B. To analyse misconceptions about the English weather.
C. To find fault with both Bill Bryson and Jeremy Paxman.
D. To convince people that the English weather is changeable.

When you think back to the blackboard from your school days，what color is it Chances are that it's green. So what's up with the name Originally，blackboards were really black. Before wall-sized blackboards existed，late 18th-century students used their own mini boards made of slate (石板) or painted wood，according to Concordia University. Those first boards were，in fact，black，and they paved the way for the larger ones.
In 1800 when a Scottish headmaster named James Pillans wanted his students to draw maps，the students couldn't draw the maps their teacher wanted on their tiny boards，so Pillans put several slates together to create a large board. Problem solved! From there，the idea spread quickly as teachers could finally show a concept to the whole class at one time. By 1815，the massive writing spaces were common enough to earn their own name：blackboard.
The color change came in the 1960s when companies sold steel plates，coated with green enamel (漆) instead of the traditional dark slate. The new material was lighter and less fragile than the first blackboards，so they were cheaper to ship and more likely to survive the journey. Teachers weren't complaining either. After all，the new “greenboards”made the chalk powder easier to erase. Plus，the enamel left less of a glare and the color was nicer to look at. At that point，people started using the word “chalkboard” as a more accurate descriptor，but “blackboard” still stuck around.
32. What did the late 18th-century students use in class
A. Blackboard. B. Chalkboard C. Greenboard D. Miniboard.
33. Why did the headmaster ask the students to put their mini boards together
A. To make a comparison. B. To make enough space.
C. To draw students' attention. D. To arouse students' interest.
34. Which of the following is NOT the advantage of the“greenboard”？
A. They're lighter in weight. B. They're more convenient to transport.
C. They're easier to erase the powder. D. They're more useful than the traditional ones.
35. What's the main idea of the text
A. Introduction of the blackboard. B. Origin of the blackboard.
C. Color of the blackboard. D. Function of the blackboard.

Should schools allow Halloween celebrations
Halloween is one of the most celebrated holidays in the United States. 36 Many schools also celebrate the holiday by having kids dress up in costumes (服装) ，take part in costume shows, and join in a variety of activities relating to Halloween. On October 31，the halls of schools across the country will be filled with princes，princesses，and superheroes. In addition to costumes，school Halloween celebrations often include classroom parties and trick-or-treating.
37 They also say that dressing up in costumes allows kids to express themselves and show off their creativity.
38 Officials at many of those schools say the celebrations are too time-consuming (费时的) and take away class time. They also point out that kids who can't afford costumes or who don't celebrate Halloween for cultural reasons feel left out. For example，Seth Boyden Elementary School in Maplewood，New Jersey，canceled its Halloween celebration last year. Officials at the school said that in the past，many students stayed home on that day.
39 Bree picower，a Professor of Early and Elementary Education at Montclair State，said，“Maplewood is a wonderful example of a school being responsive to society. Many schools plan to learn from it. Schools are places where students should feel included. ”
Parents in Maplewood had different opinions of this policy，some said that the new no-Halloween policy was a welcome change. 40
A. It brings a lot of safety problems.
B. Experts say Maplewood is not alone.
C. Many people dislike these costumes.
D. Each year there're millions of Americans celebrating the holiday.
E. But more and more schools have canceled Halloween celebrations in recent years.
F. Many teachers，parents，and students see these celebrations as a fun break from the school day.
G. And others said that it was unfair that their children are now not allowed to celebrate Halloween in school.

One cold winter's day，three boys were wandering the street. The oldest was Henry，who always was in trouble himself，and tried to get others into trouble. Another boy，James，was also a naughty one. Both of the two often got scoldings责备 from their fathers for making trouble. The youngest，whose name was George，was a very good boy. He wished to do right，but was very much wanting in courage.
As they were passing by a schoolhouse，Henry suddenly came up with an idea. “How fun it would be to throw a snowball at the schoolroom door and make the teacher and the students all jump！” he said excitedly.
“Ha! You would jump，if you should do that. If the teacher did not catch you and punish you，he would tell your father，and you would get a scolding then. That would make you jump higher than the students，I think. ” James replied.
“Why，we would get off already before the teacher could come to the door so that he could not tell who we are. ” Henry said as his eyes fell on George，who was looking at them in silence. Henry smiled cunningly (狡猾的) and continued，“Here is a snowball just as hard as ice，and George would throw it at the door as fast as he could. ”
“Give it to him and see. I guess he would not dare to throw it. ” James said. “James，do you think George is a coward (胆小鬼) ？You do not know him as well as I do！” Henry said with eyebrows uplifted，staring at George provocatively (挑衅地) . Then he held the snowball and lifted it up. “George，take the snowball，and show James that you are not such a coward as he thinks you are. ” After saying this，he passed the snowball to George.
Paragraph 1：
Looking at the snowball in his hand，George hesitated.
Paragraph 2：
The two looked at George，astonished.

期待你的到来。
谨上，

读后续写67
【文章大意】
故事的主题是关于“勇气”。两位调皮的男孩James与Henry怂恿一个很想证明自己不是胆小鬼的孩子George朝教室的门扔雪球。George到底如何证明自己是一个有勇气的孩子呢？他会扔还是不扔呢？
【写作指导】
Paragraph 1的开头是“看着自己手中的雪球，George犹豫了”。再根据Paragraph 2的开头可知，第一段讲的应该是George内心的纠结，不扔会被James和Henry嘲笑，大家会觉得他是一个胆小鬼，要是扔的话可能就会受到老师的批评和爸爸的责备。
Paragraph 2的开头是“这两个男孩子吃惊地看着George”。因此George很可能做了让人意外的选择，所以才会让James和Henry感到出乎意料。
【参考范文】
Paragraph 1：
Looking at the snowball in his hand，George hesitated. There were two Georges battling against each other within. One urged him to throw the snowball; otherwise he would be called a coward and laughed at. The other was trying to prevent him and tell him such behavior was truly ridiculous and totally wrong. While the other two boys stared at him inquiringly and encouragingly，George squared his shoulders and exclaimed firmly，“I quit！”
Paragraph 2：
The two looked at George，astonished. This was out of their expectation. “There! I told you he dare not throw it！” James said to Henry. George could hear the obvious disappointment in his voice. Gathering all his courage，George said，“I will never be so foolish to throw that snowball and no one can have me do what I think is wrong！” This would be the real courage. Henry and James realized，at once，that it would do no good to laugh at a boy who had so bold a heart and so fearless a spirit.
一个寒冷的冬天，三个男孩在街上游荡。年纪最大的是亨利，他自己总是有麻烦，总是想让别人惹麻烦。另一个男孩，詹姆斯，也是个淘气的孩子。这两个人经常因为捣乱而受到父亲的责骂。最小的那个叫乔治，是个非常好的男孩。他想做正确的事，但却非常缺乏勇气。
当他们经过一所学校时，亨利突然想出了一个主意。他激动地说：“在教室门口扔个雪球，让老师和学生都跳起来，那该多好玩啊！”。
“哈！如果你那样做的话，你会跳下去的。如果老师不抓住你，惩罚你，他会告诉你父亲，然后你会受到责骂。我认为你会比学生们跳得更高。” 詹姆斯答道。
“哎呀，我们早就下车了，老师还没来得及开门，他就分不清我们是谁了。亨利说，他的眼睛落在乔治身上，乔治正默默地看着他们。亨利狡黠地笑了笑，接着说：“这儿有一个雪球和冰一样硬，乔治会尽快把它扔到门口。”
“给他看看。我想他不敢扔了。詹姆斯说。“詹姆斯，你认为乔治是个懦夫吗？你不像我那么了解他！”亨利扬起眉毛，挑衅地盯着乔治说。然后他把雪球举起来。“乔治，拿着雪球，告诉詹姆斯你不是他认为的那样懦弱。说完，他把雪球递给乔治。
第1段：
乔治看着手中的雪球，犹豫着。里面有两个乔治互相争斗。有人劝他扔雪球，否则他会被称为胆小鬼而被嘲笑。另一个是想阻止他，告诉他这种行为真是荒谬和完全错误的。当另外两个男孩好奇地、鼓励地盯着他时，乔治挺起肩膀，坚定地喊道：“我不干了！”
第2段：
两人惊讶地看着乔治。这出乎他们的意料。“那里！我告诉过你他不敢扔！”詹姆斯对亨利说。乔治能从他的声音中听到明显的失望。乔治鼓足勇气说：“我决不会傻到扔那个雪球，也不会有人让我做我认为错误的事！”这才是真正的勇气。亨利和詹姆斯立刻意识到，嘲笑一个有着如此勇敢的心灵和无畏精神的男孩是没有用的。

M：John wants to see you，saying he has something urgent to report. Shall I bring him in now
W：I'm terribly busy. I would rather he came tomorrow.

M：This is delicious. You're a true artist！How did you cook it？I've never been able to eat something like this.
W：I spent two years in France as a young girl. I learned a lot of amazing techniques there.

M：Mary，my head is spinning！It must be a touch of the sun.
W：You'd better lie back still for a while. Take it easy for the rest of the day and stay in the shade. It's too hot today.

M：I've been here many times. There are quite a lot of delicious dishes to choose from. The beef steak and fried fish are very famous. What are you thinking of ordering
W：Well，I haven't decided yet. I'm considering the roast chicken. It's said that they use their own secret recipe when making it.

W：Hello，Mr White. Do you think it's possible for us to talk sometime today
M：I'd love to，but I have got a pretty tight schedule today. I have got to finish reading the yearly financial report by 10：00. Then I have to drive to the airport to pick up an agent at 11：00. After that，I will have a meeting with him over lunch. Maybe I can spare some time after lunch.

W：Hi，Peter，I got the message you left this morning. What's the matter
M：I called to ask you if you could arrange a place for me to stay when I study in London.
W：OK，what kind of place are you considering
M：Well，I don't care if I share with other people，but I'm not good at housework，so maybe a home stay would be OK. Since I prefer a quiet place to concentrate on my study，it will be great if there are no children in the house. Hopefully，I can live with a lady who has retired.
W：OK，that's no problem. But I must warn you that living with a family in London is very expensive.
M：That's not a big problem. I have some money saved. Besides，I can always get a part-time job. I'm working in a supermarket as a cashier now，so I don't think I will have trouble with money.
W：Sounds good. I'll call you if I get some information about that.
M：OK，that's great. Thank you very much.
W：You are welcome.

W：I enjoy going through a second-hand bookstore，so I have lots of second-hand books in my study. It's interesting to see what people used to enjoy reading.
M：Some of these books aren't so old，though. . . See？This mystery was published only six years ago. It cost 75 cents. You can't beat that.
W：Hey！Look at this!
M：What？Are you getting interested in 19th-century poetry all of a sudden
W：No，but look at the inscription！Someone gave this book as a present，and wrote a note on the inside of the front cover. It's dated 1893. Maybe it's worth something.
M：Everything on that shelf is worth 50 cents.
W：But if this is a signature of someone who is well known，it might bring a lot more. I hear William Shakespeare's signature is worth about a million dollars.

M：Hello，Julia，what's the matter
W：I'm phoning to tell you that I'm afraid I won't have enough time to pick up little Mary and Lily from school.
M：Why
W：Don't you see that it is raining cats and dogs outside？It has been raining after lunch.
M：Oh，I'm sorry. I didn't know that. I've been busy in the office.
W：I can't ride a bike in such a heavy rain and I have to take a bus home.
M：Yes，I know. That's OK. I will pick up the children，but I don't think I can finish my work early this afternoon，so it may be quite late when I arrive at the school.
W：I don't think it matters much. I can tell them to wait for you at the teacher's office after school.
M：OK，I'll try to get there as early as possible.

W：Come on，darling. This shirt costs $20 in the store，but it only costs $14 on the Internet. I'm going to buy you one online.
M：On the Internet
W：Yes，I don't have to go out and we can save some money. Besides，they say it can be delivered home in 48 hours.
M：But I don't think it's safe to show information about our credit cards to a stranger.
W：It's not a problem. They have the safety control.
M：But I can't try it on before buying it.
W：Don't worry. They have different sizes and colors. I will order your size and favorite color，brown，right
M：But what if I'm not satisfied with the quality
W：If you aren't satisfied，you can return it and they will give the money back.
M：OK，let's try shopping online.

Good morning and welcome to today's program！Feel English too difficult？You can get some advice today. Firstly，find a regular and practical study program，like listening to some English study programs before breakfast. This idea may sound useless to you who took English for quite a few years but didn't become good speakers of the language. As a matter of fact，I don't mean that you can become fluent speakers with just a few minutes here. However，following a regular course of study can be helpful. Also，small steps，step by step，are the key. For example，planning to learn five new words a day and learning to use them actively are far better than learning 45 and forgetting them the next day. Thirdly，speaking without fear is important. The fastest way to learn something is to do it again and again until you get it OK. Don't let fear stop you from getting what you want.
