I was on the train going to work reading a newspaper. A pregnant (怀孕的) woman sat nearby, with a child in a stroller (童车) and luggage on her other side. It was midday so the train wasn’t crowded. I didn’t think anything of her. But later she started grimacing (表情痛苦的). Two women beside me noticed and I saw one lady go over to her asking if she was on her way to hospital. I heard the pregnant lady say she was on her way to the Jamaica station. She looked like she was giving birth to a baby and I thought these kind women would help her.
I became nervous when they both left at their stop. I was nearing my stop, and I could see she was very uncomfortable. So, I asked if she needed any help. She said no, she was fine; her mom was going to pick her up at the station, which was 3 stops after mine. I decided I would make sure she got safely off the subway.
She was grimacing more and more. I took hold of her luggage while she pushed her child in the stroller. I knew I would never forgive myself if I heard she was on the 6:00 pm news giving birth in the underpass. I walked with her till I saw her mother at the end of the platform. I said take care and good luck; I felt I had to do the right thing and not to turn a blind eye. I told her she needed my help and I was there; she said she would do the same and said “God bless you” and gave me a quick hug.
When I looked back she was still in pain and could barely walk, and I was very happy I had helped her and hoped someone would do the same if he were in such a situation.

Community theatre is a theatre that is run by a local district with the efforts of volunteers. They offer many different kinds of productions, such as musical theatre, dance theatre and children’s theatre. Usually, performers are amateurs (业余爱好者) who receive no pay, but at other times professionals get involved, and they are paid. Community theatres are a great way to get involved with local actors. Now, most theatres around the world are community theatres. The definition of community theatre is a theatre that puts on shows that will entertain or benefit the community.
In the 1880s, “little theatre” was started in Europe so that poor people could see theatrical productions without having to travel far or pay a lot. In 1910, this idea traveled to the United States. In the early years, community theatres were even funded by the government, but when shows became too political, government funding was stopped.
Community theatres of today are a little different from the old “little theatres”, as most simply want to infuse (注入) a little culture into the life of the local citizens. In many cases, these theatres are run by colleges and their theatre departments. These productions are often free of charge, or charge very little money to pay for costumes and other small expenses. Many also encourage the participation of children and other young people to let them develop theatrical skills, as well as to keep them busy so that they do not choose to get into trouble. Additionally, for those who desire strongly to become professional actors and to one day get a chance to act in a national theatre production, it is an exciting place to learn and develop theatrical skills.
44. In what way can community theatres help young people?
A. They can help young people make more money.
B. They can help prevent young people getting into trouble.
C. They can help young people go to colleges.
D. They can help young people become more responsible.
45. Which of the following is TRUE about community theatres?
A. They are usually funded by the government.
B. They intend to train professional actors.
C. They benefit people in many ways.
D. They are quite different from the old “little theatres”.
46. We can infer from the last paragraph that .
A. some professional actors may come from community theatres
B. community theatres only charge for costumes
C. community theatres have lost their attraction today
D. people can live by acting in community theatres
47. What attitude does the author have towards community theatres?
A. Indifferent. B. Critical. C. Doubtful. D. Positive.
D
Have you heard about MOOCs? Through such courses, tens of thousands of people can take classes all at once. You can be anywhere in the world to take a MOOC. All you need is a computer and a network connection.
For years, many colleges have offered classes that are taught partly or mostly online. MOOCs are available in subjects like computer science, engineering or mechanics. Can MOOCs in subjects like arts or the humanities (人文学科) be as effective?
Scott Anderson teaches philosophy at the University of British Columbia in Canada. He sees both good and bad sides to MOOCs. He says, “There are parts that will be fine as mostly when students listen to a lecture, there is no special reason why they need to be physically present to hear and get it.” However, Mr Anderson also says increased numbers of students in MOOCs can mean less communication between them and teachers. He says two ways to deal with this are by adding more teachers and setting up online discussion groups.
Lisa Jadwin teaches English and American literature and writing at St. John Fisher College in New York. She says, “Online education has some weaknesses for her subjects. What’s lost in online education is face-to-face interaction (交流).” Professor Jadwin says some students could learn very well from talks and reading assignments (作业), blogs and discussion groups.
Bill Pogue teaches communications at the University of Houston-Downtown. He says that after leading classes for more than thirty years, he would not try to teach a MOOC. However, Mr Pogue sees good value in online education. He noted a strong sense of community in an online course he once took. He said the students worked together on a project while living on four continents.
48. What Scott Anderson says in Paragraph 3 shows that MOOCs .
A. will make students unable to communicate with others
B. have many experienced teachers
C. are only given in a few subjects at present
D. have both advantages and disadvantages
49. According to Lisa Jadwin, what is the disadvantage of online classes?
A. Many students will stay away from school.
B. Students don’t have many subjects to choose from.
C. Teachers and students can’t interact face to face.
D. Some teachers may be out of work.
50. From the last paragraph we can learn that Bill Pogue .
A. is interested in teaching a MOOC
B. totally goes against online education
C. thinks that online education has its value
D. doesn’t think online education will be well received
51. What is this passage mainly about?
A. The development of online education.
B. Some teachers’ opinion on MOOCs.
C. The writer’s opinion on MOOCs.
D. A brief introduction of MOOCs.

Tom Farber gives a lot of tests. He’s a math teacher, after all. So when administrators announced the district was cutting spending on supplies by nearly a third, Farber had a problem. At 3 cents a page, his tests would cost more than $500 a year. His copying budget: $316. But he wanted to give students enough practice for the big tests they’ll face in the spring.
“Tough times call for tough actions,” he says. So he started selling ads on his test papers: $10 for a quiz, $20 for a chapter test, $30 for a semester final. San Diego magazine and The San Diego Union-Tribune reported his plan just before Thanksgiving, and Farber came home from a few days out of town to send 75 e-mail requests for ads. So far, he has collected $350. His semester final is sold out.
About two-thirds of Farber’s ads are inspirational messages purchased by parents. Others are ads for local businesses, such as two from a structural engineering firm and one from a dentist who urges students, “Prepare Yourself for a Difficult Semester!”
To Farber, 47, it’s a logical solution: “We’re expected to do more with less.”
The National Education Association says teachers spend about $430 out of their pockets each year for school supplies. This semester, Christine Van Ruiten, a teacher at E.C. Reems, a charter school in East Oakland, has spent $2,000. She goes around Craigslist for free supplies and posts requests to DonorsChoose.org, which matches teachers with donors.
Founded in 2000 by Charles Best, then a teacher, DonorsChoose has funded about 65,000 projects totaling $26 million. Best calls it “a more substantive (实际的) choice for teachers than selling candy door-to-door — and certainly than selling ad space on final exams. That’s crazy.”
52. Tom Farber wants to raise some money to .
A. spend on Thanksgiving Day B. advertise his school
C. cover his budget for the tests D. help poor students
53. What did Tom Farber do to carry out his plan?
A. He put ads in two local magazines.
B. He sent 75 e-mail requests for ads.
C. He asked the parents to pay for the papers.
D. He held a party before Thanksgiving Day.
54. According to the author, the best way for teachers to solve the financial problem is to .
A. sell ad space on test papers B. sell candy door-to-door
C. turn to DonorsChoose.org D. take tough actions
55. What’s the best title of this passage?
A. Give students enough practice B. Cutting spending by a third
C. Prepare for a difficult semester D. Ads on tests add up for the teacher

I heard the pregnant lady say she was on her way to the Jamaica station. She looked like she was giving birth to a baby and I thought these kind women would help her.
I became nervous when they both left at their stop. I was nearing my stop, and I could see she was very uncomfortable. So, I asked if she needed any help. She said no, she was fine; her mom was going to pick her up at the station, which was 3 stops after mine. I decided I would make sure she got safely off the subway.
She was grimacing more and more. I took hold of her luggage while she pushed her child in the stroller. I knew I would never forgive myself if I heard she was on the 6:00 pm news giving birth in the underpass. I walked with her till I saw her mother at the end of the platform. I said take care and good luck; I felt I had to do the right thing and not to turn a blind eye. I told her she needed my help and I was there; she said she would do the same and said “God bless you” and gave me a quick hug.
When I looked back she was still in pain and could barely walk, and I was very happy I had helped her and hoped someone would do the same if he were in such a situation.

Community theatre is a theatre that is run by a local district with the efforts of volunteers. They offer many different kinds of productions, such as musical theatre, dance theatre and children’s theatre. Usually, performers are amateurs (业余爱好者) who receive no pay, but at other times professionals get involved, and they are paid. Community theatres are a great way to get involved with local actors. Now, most theatres around the world are community theatres. The definition of community theatre is a theatre that puts on shows that will entertain or benefit the community.
In the 1880s, “little theatre” was started in Europe so that poor people could see theatrical productions without having to travel far or pay a lot. In 1910, this idea traveled to the United States. In the early years, community theatres were even funded by the government, but when shows became too political, government funding was stopped.
Community theatres of today are a little different from the old “little theatres”, as most simply want to infuse (注入) a little culture into the life of the local citizens. In many cases, these theatres are run by colleges and their theatre departments. These productions are often free of charge, or charge very little money to pay for costumes and other small expenses. Many also encourage the participation of children and other young people to let them develop theatrical skills, as well as to keep them busy so that they do not choose to get into trouble. Additionally, for those who desire strongly to become professional actors and to one day get a chance to act in a national theatre production, it is an exciting place to learn and develop theatrical skills.
44. In what way can community theatres help young people?
A. They can help young people make more money.
B. They can help prevent young people getting into trouble.
C. They can help young people go to colleges.
D. They can help young people become more responsible.
45. Which of the following is TRUE about community theatres?
A. They are usually funded by the government.
B. They intend to train professional actors.
C. They benefit people in many ways.
D. They are quite different from the old “little theatres”.
46. We can infer from the last paragraph that .
A. some professional actors may come from community theatres
B. community theatres only charge for costumes
C. community theatres have lost their attraction today
D. people can live by acting in community theatres
47. What attitude does the author have towards community theatres?
A. Indifferent. B. Critical. C. Doubtful. D. Positive.

Have you heard about MOOCs? Through such courses, tens of thousands of people can take classes all at once. You can be anywhere in the world to take a MOOC. All you need is a computer and a network connection.
For years, many colleges have offered classes that are taught partly or mostly online. MOOCs are available in subjects like computer science, engineering or mechanics. Can MOOCs in subjects like arts or the humanities (人文学科) be as effective?
Scott Anderson teaches philosophy at the University of British Columbia in Canada. He sees both good and bad sides to MOOCs. He says, “There are parts that will be fine as mostly when students listen to a lecture, there is no special reason why they need to be physically present to hear and get it.” However, Mr Anderson also says increased numbers of students in MOOCs can mean less communication between them and teachers. He says two ways to deal with this are by adding more teachers and setting up online discussion groups.
Lisa Jadwin teaches English and American literature and writing at St. John Fisher College in New York. She says, “Online education has some weaknesses for her subjects. What’s lost in online education is face-to-face interaction (交流).” Professor Jadwin says some students could learn very well from talks and reading assignments (作业), blogs and discussion groups.
Bill Pogue teaches communications at the University of Houston-Downtown. He says that after leading classes for more than thirty years, he would not try to teach a MOOC. However, Mr Pogue sees good value in online education. He noted a strong sense of community in an online course he once took. He said the students worked together on a project while living on four continents.
48. What Scott Anderson says in Paragraph 3 shows that MOOCs .
A. will make students unable to communicate with others
B. have many experienced teachers
C. are only given in a few subjects at present
D. have both advantages and disadvantages
49. According to Lisa Jadwin, what is the disadvantage of online classes?
A. Many students will stay away from school.
B. Students don’t have many subjects to choose from.
C. Teachers and students can’t interact face to face.
D. Some teachers may be out of work.
50. From the last paragraph we can learn that Bill Pogue .
A. is interested in teaching a MOOC
B. totally goes against online education
C. thinks that online education has its value
D. doesn’t think online education will be well received
51. What is this passage mainly about?
A. The development of online education.
B. Some teachers’ opinion on MOOCs.
C. The writer’s opinion on MOOCs.
D. A brief introduction of MOOCs.

Tom Farber gives a lot of tests. He’s a math teacher, after all. So when administrators announced the district was cutting spending on supplies by nearly a third, Farber had a problem. At 3 cents a page, his tests would cost more than $500 a year. His copying budget: $316. But he wanted to give students enough practice for the big tests they’ll face in the spring.
“Tough times call for tough actions,” he says. So he started selling ads on his test papers: $10 for a quiz, $20 for a chapter test, $30 for a semester final. San Diego magazine and The San Diego Union-Tribune reported his plan just before Thanksgiving, and Farber came home from a few days out of town to send 75 e-mail requests for ads. So far, he has collected $350. His semester final is sold out.
About two-thirds of Farber’s ads are inspirational messages purchased by parents. Others are ads for local businesses, such as two from a structural engineering firm and one from a dentist who urges students, “Prepare Yourself for a Difficult Semester!”
To Farber, 47, it’s a logical solution: “We’re expected to do more with less.”
The National Education Association says teachers spend about $430 out of their pockets each year for school supplies. This semester, Christine Van Ruiten, a teacher at E.C. Reems, a charter school in East Oakland, has spent $2,000. She goes around Craigslist for free supplies and posts requests to DonorsChoose.org, which matches teachers with donors.
Founded in 2000 by Charles Best, then a teacher, DonorsChoose has funded about 65,000 projects totaling $26 million. Best calls it “a more substantive (实际的) choice for teachers than selling candy door-to-door — and certainly than selling ad space on final exams. That’s crazy.”
52. Tom Farber wants to raise some money to .
A. spend on Thanksgiving Day B. advertise his school
C. cover his budget for the tests D. help poor students
53. What did Tom Farber do to carry out his plan?
A. He put ads in two local magazines.
B. He sent 75 e-mail requests for ads.
C. He asked the parents to pay for the papers.
D. He held a party before Thanksgiving Day.
54. According to the author, the best way for teachers to solve the financial problem is to .
A. sell ad space on test papers B. sell candy door-to-door
C. turn to DonorsChoose.org D. take tough actions
55. What’s the best title of this passage?
A. Give students enough practice B. Cutting spending by a third
C. Prepare for a difficult semester D. Ads on tests add up for the teacher

Dear Alex,
How is everything going recently? I’m writing to you in the hope that you can recommend a hotel to me.
To experience different cultures and broaden my horizons, I will visit London in October. During my stay in London, I want a single room with a private bathroom for five nights, from October 2 to October 6. I hope that the hotel you recommend to me should be located near a bus station so that I can take a bus conveniently. In addition, to keep touch with my family and friends, I hope I can gain access to the Internet in the room.
I would appreciate it if you could help me. I’m looking forward to your early reply.
Yours sincerely,
Wang Lin
