A
The UK has a well-respected higher education system and some of the top universities and research institutions in the world.But to those who are new to it all，sometimes it can be confusing.
October is usually the busiest month in the college calendar.Universities have something called Freshers’ Week for their newcomers.It’s a great opportunity to make new friends，join lots of clubs and settle into university life.
However，having just left the comfort of home and all your friends behind，the prospect of meeting lots of strangers in big halls can be nerve-wracking(令人焦虑不安的)．Where do you start？Who should you make friends with？Which clubs should you join?
Luckily，there will be thousands of others in the same boat as you are worrying about starting their university social life on the right foot.So just take it all in slowly.Don’t rush into anything that you’ll regret for the next three years.
Here is some top advice from past students on how to survive Freshers’ Week：
?Learn rules.Make sure you know British social etiquette(礼节)．Have a few wine glasses and snacks handy for your housemates and friends.
?Be kind.Sometimes cups of tea or even slices of toast can give you a head start in making friends.
?Be sociable.The more active you are，the more likely you’ll be to meet new people than if you’re someone who never leaves his room.
?Bring a doorstop.Keep your door open when you’re in and that sends positive messages to your neighbors that you’re friendly.
So with a bit of clever planning and effort，Freshers’ Week can give you a great start to your university life and soon you’ll be passing on your experience to next year’s new recruits.
1． Which of the following statements is FALSE according to the passage?
A．October is generally the busiest month for universities.
B．It’s a good idea to put a doorstop in your door.
C．A bit of planning can make Freshers’ Week easier.
D．The first week of your every year at university is called Freshers’ Week.
2． We can infer from the 4th paragraph that ________.
A．the newcomers usually miss the days living at home
B．most of the students in the UK spend three years in universities
C．many freshers are worried about how to fit university life
D．all the new students will make new friends and join certain clubs
3． Why does the author suggest having wine glasses and snacks handy?
A．To pass the busy university life.
B．To help make friends with other freshers.
C．To show yourself a drinker as others.
D．To pass the time in a happy way.
4． The main purpose of the passage is to ________.
A．tell the newcomers how to make a new start in universities
B．introduce something about higher education system of the UK
C．discuss something about the Freshers’ Week in the UK
D．advise the freshers how to behave well in the beginning
B
Is there something that you’ve always wanted to try but just never had the time？Well，make plans to try it now since you are on summer vacation.Not all vacations call for taking a tour bus to take photos of famous landmarks.Some vacations allow you plenty of opportunities to learn.
The most difficult aspect of a learning vacation may be choosing one because the possibilities are endless.If you enjoy cooking，various companies can take you to Italy，France，Spain，Mexico or even Peru.Once there，you can learn to prepare the local cuisine(烹饪)．Trips are often planned to fit in with local food festivals or special events.
The term “learning vacation” often brings language to mind.The best way to learn a language is in an environment where it’s spoken.Study Spanish，French or English.Or attempt a more unusual language like Polish，Estonian or Thai.You’ll be able to learn about the country and absorb the culture at the same time.
If you are fond of sports，you can polish your skills or learn new ones.Golf and tennis schools welcome players of all levels.If you want a bigger thrill，you can learn to surf，go climbing or race cars.It’s even possible to learn the art and techniques of bull fighting while on vacation!
You can also discover your inner artist.Many places offer painting classes in different mediums.The scenic locations of the schools offer plenty of subjects that provide inspiration for practice.
If you prefer capturing the world on film，take a photography vacation.Travel with a small group to photograph beautiful animals or scenery.You can also practice your technique on people or at historical sights.
Once you decide on a vacation，choose a company carefully.Request names of recent customers you can contact，and then ask them for an evaluation (评价)．The more you know before you go，the better prepared you’ll be.Then go out and learn something!
5． Why is it hard for you to decide on a learning vacation?
A．Because it is hard for you to make plans.
B．Because the possibilities are unlimited.
C．Because there are many good foods from abroad.
D．Because there’re too many food festivals or events.
6． The advantages of learning a language in its native country is that ________.
A．the environment is fit for you to use the language
B．you are able to learn the original foreign language
C．native speakers offer you a lot of chances to practice
D．you can learn the language and experience its culture
7． The structure of the text would be________.
8． The purpose of writing the text is to________.
A．advertise some popular summer programmes
B．encourage readers to have a good time relaxing
C．offer some tips on how to enjoy a learning vacation
D．attract more readers to spend summer time learning

There are probably no people on Earth who like to gossip(说闲话) as much as the British.If prying into others’ lives were an Olympic sport，then Team GB would surely take the gold medal.
And when the British can’t watch the lives of real people with glee，they have another source of entertainment to fall back on—the soap opera.British soap operas are very different to US TV dramas.For one，they are normally longer running.The two most popular，Coronation Street and Eastenders，have been running for 48 and 24 years respectively.Both are broadcast several times a week，so remarkably there have been more than 7,000 episodes of Coronation Street.
The most obvious difference is that，unlike US dramas，the British soap operas focus on the real world.There is little glamour，the stars are rarely rich，and they normally have boring jobs.Perhaps the appeal is that the lives of the characters often mirror the lives of the audience—but with some drama added.This means the viewer can relate to the characters and feel the pain and happiness they go through on the show.
Because these soap operas last for decades，the cast is ever changing.The shows rarely focus on one or two main characters.Like the real world，people come and go all the time.However，there are exceptions.Coronation Street’s William Roach,76，has played the role of Ken Barlow since the very first episode of the show in 1960，and he is still a regular.
The choice of which soap opera you follow is often cultural：people from the north of British tend to watch Coronation Street as it is set in Manchester；people from the south generally prefer Eastenders，which is set in the east of London.The show is generally considered grittier and is aimed at a younger audience.
1． What does this passage mainly talk about?
A．British people like to know things about other people.
B．British team can get Olympic gold medals.
C．What is British soap opera.
D．People in the north like different things from the people in the south.
2． What is the main difference between American dramas and British soap operas?
A．American dramas are longer.
B．British soap operas are longer.
C．American dramas deal with dangerous things.
D．British soap operas deal with real people.
3． Why do British people like to watch such operas?
A．They can find their own life from the operas.
B．They can enjoy the operas in their free time.
C．They can watch the operas for many years.
D．They care about the fate of the characters in the operas.
4． One characteristic of British operas is that ________.
A．the characters play the same role for a long time
B．the characters in the play often change
C．people don’t know what will happen next
D．there is only one or two characters in them

Forgiveness
To forgive is a virtue，but no one has ever said it is easy.When someone has deeply hurt you，it can be extremely difficult to let go of your hate.However，forgiveness is possible，and it can be surprisingly beneficial to your physical and mental health.People who forgive show less sadness，anger and stress and more hopefulness，according to a recent research.
__1__Try the following steps：
Calm yourself.__2__You can take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure：a beautiful scene in nature，or someone you love.
Don’t wait for an apology.Many times the person who hurt you does not intend to apologize.They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don’t see things the same way.__3__Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean becoming friends again with the person who upset you.
Take the control away from your offender(冒犯者)．Rethinking about your hurt gives power to the person who caused you pain.Instead of focusing on
your wounded feelings，learn to look for the love，beauty and kindness around you.
__4__If you understand your offender，you may realize that he or she was acting out of unawareness，fear，and even love.You may want to write a letter to yourself from your offender’s point of view.
Don’t forget to forgive yourself.__5__But it can rob you of your self-confidence if you don’t do it.
A．Why should you forgive?
B．How should you start to forgive?
C．Recognize the benefits of forgiveness.
D．Try to see things from your offender’s angle.
E．For some people，forgiving themselves is the biggest challenge.
F．To make your anger die away，try a simple stress-management technique.
G．If you wait for people to apologize，you could be waiting an awfully long time.

第三部分 阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)
第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
A
One hundred and thirteen million Americans have at least one billion bank-issued credit cards.They give their owners automatic credit in stores，restaurants，and hotels，at home，across the country，and even abroad，and they make many banking services available as well.More and more of these credit cards can be read automatically，making it possible to withdraw or deposit money in scattered locations，whether or not the local branch bank is open.For many of us the “cashless society” is not on the horizon—it is already here.
While computers offer convenience to consumers，they have many advantages for sellers，too.Electronic cash registers can do much more than simply ring_up_sales.They can keep a wide range of records，including who sold what，when，and to whom.This information allows businessmen to keep track of their list of goods by showing which items are being sold and how fast they are moving.Decisions to reorder or return goods to suppliers can then be made.At the same time these computers record which hours are busiest and which employees are the most efficient，allowing personnel (职员) and staffing assignments to be made accordingly.And they also identify preferred customers for promotional campaigns.Computer-analyzed marketing reports can help to decide which products to emphasize now，which to develop for the future，and which to drop.Computers keep track of goods in stock，of raw materials on hand，and even of the production process itself.
Numerous other commercial enterprises，from theaters to magazine publishers，from gas and electric utilities to milk processors，bring better and more efficient services to consumers through the use of computers.
56．According to the passage，the credit card enables its owner to ________.
A．withdraw as much money from the bank as he wishes
B．obtain more convenient services than other people do
C．enjoy greater trust from the storekeeper
D．cash a cheque
57．From the last sentence of the first paragraph we learn that ________.
A．in the future all the Americans will use credit cards
B．credit cards are mainly used in the United States today
C．nowadays many Americans do not pay in cash
D．it is now more convenient to use credit cards than before
58．The phrase “ring up sales” in Paragraph 2 most probably means “________”．
A．make an order of goods
B．record sales on a cash register
C．call the sales manager
D．keep track of the goods in stock
59．What is this passage mainly about?
A．Approaches to the commercial use of computers.
B．Convenience brought about by computers in business.
C．Significance of automation in commercial enterprises.
D．Advantages of credit cards in business.
B
As more Americans go to mainland China to take jobs，more Chinese and Americans are working side by side.These cross-cultural partnerships，while beneficial in many ways，are also highlighting tensions that expose differences in work experience，pay levels and communication.
In the last few years，a growing number of Americans in their 20s and 30s have been heading to China for employment，attracted by its faster-growing economy and lower jobless rate.Their Chinese co-workers are often around the same age.But the two groups were raised differently.The Americans have had more exposure to freemarket principles.“Young Americans were brought up in a commercial environment，” said Neng Zhao,28，a senior associate at Blue Oak Capital，a private firm based in Beijing.“We weren’t.So the workplace is a unique learning process for my generation.”
Managers hiring workers in China appear to be paying for Western experience.Foreigners tend to earn 10 to 15 percent more than their Chinese counterparts，said Michael Norman，senior vice president at Sibson Consulting，an American firm.That imbalance does not go unnoticed by Chinese workers.“There is definitely the belief that Americans get paid more for the same work，” said Ting Wang,25，an associate at Wild China，a travel company based in Beijing.On the other hand，Chinese workers have a deeper understanding of the influences，like Confucianism and Communism，which play a part in their country’s culture and economy.
It is important and necessary for Americans working in China to adjust，said Mr.Norman，who works on management and work force issues for multinational companies operating in Asia.
“In the West，there is such a bonus on getting things done quickly，but when you come to work in China，you need to work on listening and being more patient and understanding of local ways of doing business，” he said.
60．More Americans go to China to take jobs because______.
A．they want to experience different cultures
B．Chinese workers are easier to cooperate
C．they can’t find proper jobs in America
D．the economy of China is developing rapidly
61．What is mainly talked about in the passage?
A．Cross-cultural conflicts.
B．Cross-cultural partnerships.
C．Multi-national companies in China.
D．Different pays for the same work.
62．What can we learn from the passage?
A．Americans benefit more from working in China.
B．Chinese and American employees have the same experience.
C．Young Chinese can benefit from cross-cultural partnerships.
D．More Americans working in China cause higher jobless rate.
63．What does the underlined word “imbalance” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A．Unfair pay levels.
B．Different working experience.
C．Unequal opportunities.
D．Different upbringing environment.
C
Medical students in California are getting real-world experience by helping the homeless on the streets of Los Angeles.They are filling gaps in the health care system while learning about their future profession.
The patients sit on folding chairs along the sidewalk in Hollywood，as students unload supplies and medical records from a truck.They are creating a makeshift clinic on the street.
The first stage is triage，assessing the needs of the poor and homeless at this once-a-week mobile clinic.It is run by students from the University of California，Los Angeles，who operate similar clinics in different communities on other nights.They provide medicine and offer clean socks and reading glasses to those who need them.They bandage injuries and monitor vital signs.
Another charity offers nutritious meals to the patients.Students in social work and law also come to offer assistance，getting long-term help from the government or private agencies for those people who qualify.
Physician Walter Coppenrath helped start this street clinic 12 years ago when he was a medical student.He now teaches at UCLA and sees patients at a nearby medical center.
The care is given to those who do not get help in other places，says medical student Steffanie Becerra.“They see us as their only point of care within the medical system where they can get medications.A lot of people with hypertension or diabetes really have no other choice but to come here because they just can not afford the medications elsewhere，”she explained.
The mobile clinic helps both patients and students，says undergraduate Kevin Norris，who plans to become a doctor.“We really treat them as individuals deserving of respect because so many of the homeless people here in Los Angeles are really just looked down upon and largely ignored by much of the population，”Norris stated.He says that once a week these people get the attention and the care they deserve，and the volunteer work helps him understand his future role as a physician.
64．The once-a-week mobile clinic can provide the patients with the following things EXCEPT ________.
A．clean socks B．medicine
C．reading glasses D．nutritious meals
65．Which of the following doesn’t belong to medical students’ duty?
A．Bandaging injuries.
B．Making sure what medical treatment the patients need.
C．Helping some patients get long-term help from the government.
D．Monitoring vital signs.
66．According to the passage，we can learn that ________.
A．the idea of creating a makeshift clinic started in 1990
B．the once-a-week mobile clinic only opens in the daytime
C．most of the people receiving the service are very poor
D．Walter Coppenrath’s occupation is only a teacher at present
67．The author writes the last paragraph in order to tell us that ________.
A．everyone should be treated with equal respect
B．Kevin Norris is unsatisfied with the current medical system
C．Kevin Norris is happy to help the homeless people in Los Angeles
D．the experience helps both patients and students
D
A few years ago，on my way from the New York airport，I struck up a conversation with my taxi driver.Tony was from India.He had studied to be a marine biologist but could not get a decent job in that field here.He was doing okay driving a cab，he said，“but in coming all this way，I had hoped to do better than just get by.” The more we talked，the more I realized that the counseling I provide to corporate executives also applies to average people like Tony.Like too many of us，Tony thought that being self-reliant meant never asking for help.But we need to nurture relationships in order to achieve our goals.
Tony liked to chat with his customers，yet he didn’t want to bother them.I urged him to give it a try.And he did.(Not only did his customers ask him to take them to the airport at the end of their trip，they also recommended him to their friends.)Soon he had a long list of regulars and was able to buy his own Town Car，then a second.He had to hire a friend to help with the overflow.
Each of us contains seeds of greatness，which can be expressed in myriad ways，from starting a business to giving back to our community to raising the next generation of leaders.Life is all about finding that seed and nurturing it to its full growth.I know it’s possible.I learned at a young age that the secret to success lies in the power of relationships.Consider the people who’ve helped you along the way as coaches.Corporate executives，celebrities and athletic aces routinely hire “life coaches” to help them reach their goals or solve their problems.But you don’t need to hire a life coach.You can become your own.It won’t cost you a penny，and it’s easier than you think.
68．From the passage we can infer that________.
A．Tony didn’t complete his college education
B．the author thought Tony would be a corporate executive
C．many people don’t like to ask for help from others
D．driving a cab is admired in New York
69．From the passage we can infer the author thinks________.
A．everyone shouldn’t be afraid to be his own life coach
B．seeds of greatness is difficult to nurture
C．without “life coaches” to help you，you can’t achieve your goals
D．everyone should hire their life coaches to achieve success
70．What’s the best title of the passage?
A．Easier Said Than Done
B．Tony’s Success
C．The Power of Relationships
D．Ways to Achieve Your Goals

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
The word addiction usually makes you think of alcohol or drugs.__71__Some people are compulsive(难以自制的) shoppers.Others find it impossible to pull themselves away from their work.Still others spend countless hours watching TV or playing computer games.
__72__Many people enjoy going to malls or stores more and more every day，but it’s more than a common hobby for some of them.They have turned into shopaholics.They are people who simply enjoy shopping and walking around spending money without being able to stop doing it.They are hooked on shopping and usually buy things that they don’t need.Even though they don’t have enough money，they buy everything they want.
The question is：why do they have this addiction？There isn’t a specific answer.Some people go shopping when they are sad，worried，upset or lonely and they want to feel better.They use this activity as a way to forget their problems.Shopaholics say that they feel more important and better after they buy something.__73__
Shopaholism seems to be a harmless addiction，but it can bring out problems.Some of them can be psychological.If this is the case，people addicted to shopping should go to a support group to help them break this habit.However，the process，like for most addictions，is long，and they suffer a lot.__74__They just think about satisfying their feelings，so they spend money they don’t have.__75__
A．Once you are addicted to alcohol or drugs，it is difficult to get rid of them.
B．Over the years，shopping has become a very common activity.
C．They also tend to have this addiction when they feel guilty.

Dear Mike，
Pressure is a serious topic in today’s world.After stepping into Senior Three，you have to be faced with the coming College Entrance Examinations.You fix all your attention on studies，thus making you feel stressed and find it difficult to get on well with your classmates.Besides，your parents hope that you can go to a key university，which also adds your stress.
I have some suggestions for you to relieve stress.First of all，try to build up your confidence，and never give up or lose heart no matter what happens.Secondly，you should find out your own learning methods and seek help from both teachers and classmates in the face of difficulties and stress.I think a conversation with your parents is also necessary.Finally，I think you should do more physical exercise so as to keep fit.
Less pressure，better life！Best wishes to you!
Yours，
Li Hua
