A while back I caught a news report on something called couchsurfing and the net work of trusting souls who make this phenomenon possible. They offer to put up travelers free of charge and help them on their ways. At first, it sounded unbelievable. I mean, inviting strangers into one's home for one or two nights Give me a break.
However, I was intrigued. I decided to investigate. The only way to truly learn about this phenomenon was to dive in. So I planned a trip to Finland, a country I've always wanted to explore. I would couchsurf at every stop there.
If ever any anxiety existed when stepping into the unknown, it disappeared when my first host met me at the train station. Ari looked like my idea of a typical Finn: tall and blue eyed. Finns were also supposed to be famously reserved(寡言少语的). Ari was anything but. He was a live wire, giving me an enthusiastic welcome and hiking with me to his apartment, where he showed me the sleeping sofa, served me tea and engaged me in warm conversations. He also handed me a key to come and go as I pleased.
If this was what couchsurfing was all about—trust and friendship—then I had gotten off to a good start. As I boarded my next train to continue my journey I began to think about this couchsurfing idea. What urged these people to open their homes to strangers I concluded that there was a desire to lend a hand to like minded folks who might enrich their own lives.
Seven cities in 14 days. Seven hosts. Seven new friends. If couchsurfing taught me anything, it's this: Most people are good and generous. Where will couchsurfing take me next Who knows But I can't wait to find out.

My son was entering Grade 1. He was a bit nervous because he knew his best friend would not be in his new class. I explained to him that even though his best friend would not be in his class, he would still have some of his old classmates.
On the first day of school when the class list was posted, I was shocked! My son had zero former classmates in his class. None. Not one.
How could this happen
I asked my friend who works with the Hamilton Wentworth District School Board. She explained, “Many largely populated schools often shuffle ( 弄 混 ) the kids around each year to encourage new friendships.”
If schools are actively trying to place two best friends in different classes simply to shake things up, I think it is a blunder.
I was lucky enough to attend the same primary school all the way through. It was a small class and our group of students moved through each grade together. We felt like brothers and sisters. It was wonderful.
While it may be good to shake things up a bit in the older grades, it seems almost cruel to separate good friends in the younger grades without good cause.
One mom named Karen says that her son is always starting a new grade without any close friends. At first, she thought it was a good idea. Then she realized one thing—her son does not have a“best friend”，which makes her pretty worried. In fact, she thinks that he does not have any close friends because his classmates are always changing.
Part of a school's responsibility is to provide a safe and comfortable space for children to learn and grow. If that environment is always changing—causing terrible results—perhaps it is time to rethink this practice.
8．How did the author bring up the topic
A．By telling a story.
B．By using other people's words.
C．By making comparisons.
D．By showing research findings.
9．What does the underlined word “blunder” in
Paragraph 5 probably mean
A．Progress. B．Reason.
C．Mistake. D．Failure.
10．Why did the author mention her own primary school experience
A．To prove that smaller classes are better.
B．To discuss the importance of good friends.
C．To explain how friendships are developed at school.
D．To show the advantage of having familiar classmates.
11．What's Karen's attitude toward the practice of her son's school
A．She supports it.
B．She is against it.
C．She isn't interested in it.
D．She is uncertain about it.
D
Roughly the size of a soda can, sitting on a bookshelf, a relatively harmless device may be turning friends away from your home. The elephant in your living room is your Internet connected camera, a device people are increasingly using for peace of mind in their homes. But few stop to think about the effect these devices may have on house guests. Should you tell your friends, for instance, that they're being recorded while you all watch the big game together
“It's certainly new territory (领地), especially as home security cameras become easier to fix，” says Lizzie Post, president of the Emily Post Institute, America's distinguished manners advisors. “I think it will be very interesting to see what manners appear in terms of whether you tell people you have a camera or not, and whether guests have a right to ask that it be turned off, if it's not a security issue.” Post wants to make clear that she's not talking about legal rights, but rather personal preference.
When it comes to security cameras, Post says it's a host's responsibility to make sure guests feel comfortable within their home. If the host casually acknowledges that there is a camera in the room by telling a story about, it that may be enough to provide an opening for a guest to say if they are uncomfortable.
However, if a contractor (合约工) is working in your home, you don't need to tell them that there are cameras watching. Then again, the camera can also work in contractors' favor. “If anything does go wrong while they're in the house, they don't want to be blamed for it，” she says. “In fact, the camera could be the thing that proves that they didn't steal the DS| 20, or knock the vase off the table.”
12．What is Lizzie Post mainly discussing about the use of home security cameras
A．Legal rights.
B．Moral issues.
C．The possible impact on health.
D．Likes and dislikes of individuals.
13．According to Post, what is a host's responsibility concerning the security camera
A．Indicating its position.
B．Turning it on all the time.
C．Making their guests feel at ease.
D．Having a casual talk with guests.
14．How can the home security camera help contractors working in your home
A．It can prove their innocence.
B．It can record their working progress.
C．It can prevent the accidents happening.
D．It can make their work more enjoyable.
15．What's the author's attitude towards the security camera
A．Negative. B．Pessimistic.
C．Favorable. D．Objective.

Enjoyable Family Picnics
Going for a picnic is great at any age. It can either be a simple lunch in the park or a family barbecue at the beach. Whether with little kids or just as a romantic afternoon date, picnics can be fun and relaxing. Just remember to prepare.
Check the weather forecast. 16 Picnics are never much fun when it gets too hot or starts to rain. If it is likely to rain, but you still make up your mind to go, think about bringing umbrellas.
Pick a location suitable for your family's needs. Different locations are for different types of picnics. 17 Choose one with a playground for them, and perhaps some bathrooms nearby. Do you want a quiet afternoon to read, or a park with a big field to play soccer on
18 Food is the most important part of a picnic, so don't forget it! Remember to bring any utensils (器皿) you might need, as well as napkins and a garbage bag to clean up afterwards. Bring some books, balls or anything else that could be fun. Finally, don't forget your camera.
Other ideas. If it gets hot in the afternoon, why not try a morning picnic to enjoy the songs of birds in the fresh morning air？ 19 It can be fun to have a picnic in your backyard. If you're going on a hike, pack a lunch and turn it into a picnic. But remember to bring extra water!
Remember to prepare, and you'll soon be enjoying picnics wherever you are. But keep in mind that not everything always go as planned. 20 .
A．What to bring.
B．Do you have little kids
C．Just learn to laugh and enjoy it anyway.
D．Another idea is to stay at home.
E．Not everybody likes eating outside.
F．It may seem obvious but it's often forgotten.
G．Do you need big trees to keep the heat off on a sunny day

Jennifer, a wealthy Swedish girl came to India to get a portrait (画像) made by Rajesh, a poor but very gifted Indian artist.
Never before had Rajesh seen a more beautiful woman from the Western world. By the time the portrait was finished, the two had fallen in love. They had fallen so deeply in love that they got married according to Indian tradition.
Unluckily, the time came when Jennifer had to leave in order to complete her studies in Sweden. Thousands of miles separated the two but their feelings for each other never changed. They kept in touch through letters, which they exchanged almost weekly with each other. Jennifer missed her husband so much that she offered to buy him air tickets, but he refused. He decided to finish his own studies first. He promised that he would do anything he could to see her again on his own.
After Rajesh finished his studies, he sold what he had except his paintings and brushes. However, the money he made couldn't afford a flight ticket. Not allowing the difficulty to stop him from seeing his wife again, he made up his mind to use what he had in order to see her again.
All he could afford was a cheap and used bicycle, which meant a very long bicycle ride, half around the world.

I explained to him that even though his best friend would not be in his class, he would still have some of his old classmates.”可知，作者以自己儿子班级里既没有自己的好朋友也没有老同学这个故事为例，提出本文的话题，他认为学校不应该这样做，故A项符合题意，故选A项。]
9．What does the underlined word “blunder” in
Paragraph 5 probably mean
A．Progress. B．Reason.
C．Mistake. D．Failure.
C　[词义猜测题。结合下文第七段“it seems almost cruel to separate good friends in the younger grades without good cause”，以及本文最后“perhaps it is time to rethink this practice”可知，如果学校积极尝试把两个最好的朋友安排在不同的班级，只是为了让事情发生变化，我认为这是一个错误，由此推知，画线词所在句句意为“我认为这是一个错误”， 即画线词与C选项“Mistake ”意思接近。故选C项。]

If that environment is always changing—causing terrible results—perhaps it is time to rethink this practice(学校的责任之一是为孩子们提供一个安全舒适的学习和成长空间。如果环境总是在变化，导致可怕的结果，也许是时候重新考虑这种做法了)．”，由此判断出她对儿子所在学校的做法持反对的态度，因此B项符合题意，故选B项。]

Roughly the size of a soda can, sitting on a bookshelf, a relatively harmless device may be turning friends away from your home. The elephant in your living room is your Internet connected camera, a device people are increasingly using for peace of mind in their homes. But few stop to think about the effect these devices may have on house guests. Should you tell your friends, for instance, that they're being recorded while you all watch the big game together
“It's certainly new territory (领地), especially as home security cameras become easier to fix，” says Lizzie Post, president of the Emily Post Institute, America's distinguished manners advisors. “I think it will be very interesting to see what manners appear in terms of whether you tell people you have a camera or not, and whether guests have a right to ask that it be turned off, if it's not a security issue.” Post wants to make clear that she's not talking about legal rights, but rather personal preference.
When it comes to security cameras, Post says it's a host's responsibility to make sure guests feel comfortable within their home. If the host casually acknowledges that there is a camera in the room by telling a story about, it that may be enough to provide an opening for a guest to say if they are uncomfortable.
However, if a contractor (合约工) is working in your home, you don't need to tell them that there are cameras watching. Then again, the camera can also work in contractors' favor. “If anything does go wrong while they're in the house, they don't want to be blamed for it，” she says. “In fact, the camera could be the thing that proves that they didn't steal the DS| 20, or knock the vase off the table.”
【语篇解读】　本文是一篇议论文。文章介绍了美国很多家庭安装安全摄像头这一现象，美国著名的礼仪顾问齐·波斯特分析了安全摄像头对客人的影响。
12．What is Lizzie Post mainly discussing about the use of home security cameras
A．Legal rights.
B．Moral issues.
C．The possible impact on health.
D．Likes and dislikes of individuals.
D　[细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Post wants to make clear that she's not talking about legal rights, but rather personal preference.”可知，波斯特想表明，她谈论的不是法律权利，而是个人偏好。由此可知，波斯特主要讨论的是使用家庭安全摄像头是人们的个人喜恶，故D项正确。]
13．According to Post, what is a host's responsibility concerning the security camera
A．Indicating its position.
B．Turning it on all the time.
C．Making their guests feel at ease.
D．Having a casual talk with guests.
C　[细节理解题。根据第三段中的“When it comes to security cameras, Post says it's a host's responsibility to make sure guests feel comfortable within their home.”可知，谈到安全摄像头，波斯特说，确保客人在家里感到舒适是主人的责任，故C项正确。]
14．How can the home security camera help contractors working in your home
A．It can prove their innocence.
B．It can record their working progress.

A．Negative. B．Pessimistic.
C．Favorable. D．Objective.

Enjoyable Family Picnics
Going for a picnic is great at any age. It can either be a simple lunch in the park or a family barbecue at the beach. Whether with little kids or just as a romantic afternoon date, picnics can be fun and relaxing. Just remember to prepare.
Check the weather forecast. 16 Picnics are never much fun when it gets too hot or starts to rain. If it is likely to rain, but you still make up your mind to go, think about bringing umbrellas.
Pick a location suitable for your family's needs. Different locations are for different types of picnics. 17 Choose one with a playground for them, and perhaps some bathrooms nearby. Do you want a quiet afternoon to read, or a park with a big field to play soccer on
18 Food is the most important part of a picnic, so don't forget it! Remember to bring any utensils (器皿) you might need, as well as napkins and a garbage bag to clean up afterwards. Bring some books, balls or anything else that could be fun. Finally, don't forget your camera.
Other ideas. If it gets hot in the afternoon, why not try a morning picnic to enjoy the songs of birds in the fresh morning air？ 19 It can be fun to have a picnic in your backyard. If you're going on a hike, pack a lunch and turn it into a picnic. But remember to bring extra water!
Remember to prepare, and you'll soon be enjoying picnics wherever you are. But keep in mind that not everything always go as planned. 20 .
A．What to bring.
B．Do you have little kids
C．Just learn to laugh and enjoy it anyway.
D．Another idea is to stay at home.
E．Not everybody likes eating outside.
F．It may seem obvious but it's often forgotten.
G．Do you need big trees to keep the heat off on a sunny day

【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了中国南方的大熊猫的产地、现状以及它们是如何成为可供人类饲养的动物的。
36．known　[句意：大熊猫，也被称为熊猫熊或简称熊猫，是一种原产于中国中南部的熊。be known as“被称为”，此处去掉be，用过去分词作后置定语，故填known。]
37．to　[native to“原产自……，产自于……”，是固定搭配。故填to。]
38．has been driven　[由“In the past many years”可知时态要用现在完成时，根据主语“the giant panda”和“drive”之间是被动关系，可知此处要用被动语态，且谓语动词用单数，故填has been driven。]
39．development　[句意：在过去的许多年里，由于耕作、砍伐森林和其他发展，大熊猫已经被赶出了它们曾经生活的低地地区。作as a result of的宾语用名词，表示抽象意义，不可数，故填development。]
40．living　[本句已有谓语动词“there are”，因此要用非谓语动词，根据individuals和live之间是主动关系，可知此处要用现在分词作后置定语。故填living。]
41．the　[根据谓语动词is是单数，可知此处用冠词the，短语the number of “……的数量”。故填the。]
42．when　[分析句子成分可知，此处是一个非限制性定语从句，先行词为March 11, 1869，在定语从句中作时间状语，因此用关系副词when。故填when。]
43．scientific　[句意：为了保护大熊猫，2012年，全球非营利组织地球观察研究所启动了一个名为“寻找大熊猫踪迹”的项目。该机构将志愿者和科学家组队进行重要的科学研究。此处要用形容词修饰名词 research。故填scientific。]
44．volunteers　[句意：这个以四川卧龙国家级自然保护区为基地的项目，允许志愿者近距离工作，与圈养的熊猫一起，帮助它们逐渐地适应野外生活。volunteer是可数名词，此处用复数表泛指。故填volunteers。]
45．gradually　[句意见上题。此处要用副词修饰动词短语adapt to。故填gradually。]

Dear David，
I'm glad to receive your letter asking me about my high school life.
Life for a freshman like me is really challenging. At the beginning of this new term, a strict but exciting seven day military training was held. Tired as I was, it built up my body and tested my will. New life on campus provides opportunities to make some new friends, with whom views can be exchanged in depth. There are various extra curricular activities, which can greatly enrich my school life. As for my new teachers, it seems that every teacher can make their lessons lovely and interesting. As you can see, I'm adapting to the fresh life. How about you
Best regards!
Yours，
Li Hua

Jennifer, a wealthy Swedish girl came to India to get a portrait (画像) made by Rajesh, a poor but very gifted Indian artist.
Never before had Rajesh seen a more beautiful woman from the Western world. By the time the portrait was finished, the two had fallen in love. They had fallen so deeply in love that they got married according to Indian tradition.
Unluckily, the time came when Jennifer had to leave in order to complete her studies in Sweden. Thousands of miles separated the two but their feelings for each other never changed. They kept in touch through letters, which they exchanged almost weekly with each other. Jennifer missed her husband so much that she offered to buy him air tickets, but he refused. He decided to finish his own studies first. He promised that he would do anything he could to see her again on his own.
After Rajesh finished his studies, he sold what he had except his paintings and brushes. However, the money he made couldn't afford a flight ticket. Not allowing the difficulty to stop him from seeing his wife again, he made up his mind to use what he had in order to see her again.
All he could afford was a cheap and used bicycle, which meant a very long bicycle ride, half around the world.

[参考范文]
So his bicycle journey from India to the Western world began. Rajesh took all his paintings and brushes along with him in order to make a living. The journey led him through eight countries and took more than four months. His bike broke down many times along the way and he had to go on without food for days. But eventually, he managed to arrive at Jennifer's hometown.
Welcomed by Jennifer and her parents with open arms, he felt very excited. The young couple hugged tightly, tears of joy in their eyes. Then a Swedish wedding ceremony was held. Ever since then, Rajesh lived happily with his wife and two children in Sweden, never leaving each other's side for too long. As an artist, he became quite popular in the Western world, serving as the Cultural Ambassador of India to Sweden.
