Good afternoon, and welcome to England. We hope that your visit here will be a pleasant one. Today, I would like to draw your attention to a few of our laws.
The first one is about drinking. Now, you may not buy alcohol in this country. If you are under 18 years of age, nor may your friends buy it for you.
Secondly, noise. Enjoy yourselves by all means, but please don’t make unnecessary noise, particularly at night. We ask you to respect other people who may wish to be quiet.
Thirdly, crossing the road. Be careful！The traffic moves on the left side of the road in this country. Use pedestrian crossings and do not take any chances when crossing the road.
My next point is about litter (throwing away waste material in a public place)．It is an offence (违法行为) to drop litter in the street. When you have something to throw away, please put it in your pocket and take it home，or put it in a litter bin.
Finally, as regards something, it is against the law to buy cigarettes or tobacco (烟草) if you are under 16 years of age.
I’d like to finish by saying that if you require any sort of help or assistance, you should contact your local police，who will be pleased to help you.
Now, are there any questions

Even if trees cannot walk, they are still on the move.
In parts of the Arctic, entire forests are moving northward. Across the Arctic, temperatures are rising faster than anywhere else in the world. As that happens, the tree line that marks where forests stop and the treeless tundra (冻原) starts has been shifting northward. Trees growing along the tree line must protect themselves from the cold wind. To do this,_plants tend to grow horizontal (水平的) branches low to the ground. The energy it takes for trees to grow this way means they don’t have enough energy to make seeds.
But as Earth’s climate has been warming, trees no longer have to just grow horizontally. Many can instead grow up toward the sky. This takes less energy. And with all that leftover energy, these trees have started producing more seeds. This happens especially in places where white spruce (白云杉) grows.
White spruce, which is a North American tree, is quite able to produce a lot of seeds, which can move long distances in the wind. When wind blown seeds end up on the tundra beyond the tree line, they eventually can sprout (发芽) new trees. This explains how a forest can move. Of course, the process would work only if the tundra were warm enough. But in recent years, the whole planet has been warming.
New trees will provide shelters for some snow. Keeping the sun’s rays from making the white surface disappear. Instead, the trees absorb the sun’s heat. This warms the surrounding air. The extra warmth encourages even more trees to produce seeds. That further boosts a forest’s ability to expand. In addition, more trees will trap more snow, preventing much of it from being blown away. Snow can trap heat in the soil below, which encourages trees to grow. The recent rise of temperatures has helped more trees grow past the tree line. People worry about impacts on the animals that depend on frozen conditions for food and shelter.
4．What is the main cause of the trees in the Arctic moving northward
A．The shrinking of northern tundra.
B．The rising temperature.
C．The fierce and cold wind.
D．The abundant resources in the north.
5．What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 2 mean
A．To produce more seeds.
B．To move northward.
C．To respond to the climate change.
D．To protect themselves from the cold wind.
6．What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A．New trees can trap the snow, which may make the soil colder.
B．The trapped snow prevents new trees from producing more seeds.
C．New trees can make the surrounding air warmer.
D．New trees can bring more food and shelter for local animals.
7．The passage is most probably taken from ________.
A．a science report
B．a health report
C．a fashion magazine
D．a children’s magazine

Last week I visited my friend Peter in the new home where he lives with his wife and daughter. Peter used to spend his holidays travelling the world, visiting the pyramids in Egypt or scuba diving (潜水) in the Caribbean. Nowadays he prefers to spend his holidays and weekends making his house look more beautiful. Like hundreds of thousands of other British people, he has discovered the joy of DIY (Do It Yourself), which means if there are any things that need fixing around the house, he will try to do the job himself.
As he showed me the new kitchen he put together by himself and the newly painted walls, I asked Peter where he got his inspiration (灵感) from. He told me that his favorite source of ideas was a DIY program on TV.
This got me thinking about the great popularity of DIY programs in the UK. Each major channel has at least one home or garden improving show and there’s even a satellite channel completely about the subject.
I guess it is not really surprising that DIY programs are so popular. Two common sayings in Britain — “an Englishman’s home is his castle” and “there’s no place like home” — show how important our houses are to us. With the present economic downturn, many people can’t afford to buy a bigger house so they are looking at how they can make their house better without spending a lot of money. DIY is the perfect choice.
But be careful! I read a report that said over 230,000 people were injured while doing home improvements in the UK in just one year, including 41,000 who fell off ladders(梯子) and 5,800 who were seriously hurt by hammers. So I won’t be going down to the hardware store.
8．How did Peter spend his holiday in the past
A．Visiting his friends.
B．Diving.
C．Travelling around the world.
D．Making his house beautiful.
9．Which might NOT be shown in a DIY program on TV
A．Scuba diving.
B．A garden improving feature.
C．Home improvements.
D．Fixing things in kitchens.
10．Which is NOT the reason why DIY is popular among British people
A．They enjoy DIY.
B．They want to make their houses better themselves.
C．They can improve their houses without spending much money.
D．They want to be on TV.
11．At the end of the article the writer wants us to remember ________.
A．not to go to the hardware store
B．to be careful not to get hurt while doing DIY
C．to keep watching DIY on TV while drinking a nice cup of tea
D．not to climb ladders or use hammers

What are you going to do if you are in a burning house How will you escape Do you know how to save yourself Please read the following passage.
Escaping from a fire is a serious matter. Knowing what to do during a fire can save your life. It is important to know the ways you can use and show them to everyone in the family, such as stairways (楼梯) and fire escapes, but not lifts.
From the lower floors of the buildings, escaping through windows is possible. Learn the best way of leaving through windows with the least chance of serious injury (伤害).
The second floor window is usually not very high from the ground. An average (平均高度的) person, hanging by the finger tips (手指尖) will have a drop of about six feet to the ground. It is about the height of an average man. Of course, it is safer to jump a short way than to stay in a burning building.
Windows are also useful when you are waiting for help. Be sure to keep the door closed. Or smoke and fire may be drawn into the room. Keep your head low at the window to be sure you get fresh air rather than smoke that may have leaked (泄露) into the room.
On a second or third floor, the best windows for escape are those which open onto a roof (屋顶). From the roof a person can drop to the ground more safely. Dropping onto hard ground might end in injury. Bushes (灌木丛) and grass can help to break a fall.
12．It is important to ________.
A．put out the fire in the burning house
B．know the ways to escape the fire
C．jump off a burning house
D．keep the door closed
13．It is possible to escape through the windows ________.
A．if there are some bushes on the ground
B．if you are strong enough
C．if you live on a lower floor
D．if you have a long rope
14．Which of the following escaping way is NOT right
A．You can escape though stairways.
B．You can choose fire escapes.
C．Escape from the windows that open onto a roof.
D．Use a lift to come down at once.
15．Open the window so that you can ________ if the building is on fire.
A．get fresh air B．call for help
C．easily jump off D．be seen first
