“Homestay” is a form ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )of study abroad program. It allows the visitor to rent a room from a local (当地的) family to better understand the local lifestyle. It also helps to improve the visitor’s language ability, ” said a teacher during a school meeting last term. “Students who wish to learn more about foreign cultures or to get foreign experience should join this kind of holiday. I am sure you won’t be disappointed (失望的). ”
After this spe ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )cial meeting, I always thought about this kind of holiday. Last month, I had a chance at last to go on such a holiday with some of my schoolmates and we went to London, a place where I had wanted to go since years ago.
As we were still yo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ung, we had a group leader who planned things for us and looked after us. After we got to London, we went to stay with different families. I was lucky that my host family (寄宿家庭) was a white couple who had a daughter about my age. They treated me as a daughter of their family during my stay there. They were interested in me and I learnt a lot of things from them, too.
The holiday was fil ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )led with activities every day. After breakfast, a local teacher would come to take us in his car. Then we would have classes or go on a sight-seeing trip to different places of interest like the Big Ben, the London Bridge, and the Buckingham Palace. We would go back to our own homes after the activities.
The holiday was a va ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )luable experience for me. I enjoyed every minute of it. Yet, time really flew fast. Three weeks later, we had to leave “home” for Hong Kong.
36. In the “homestay” program, a visitor can .
A. learn more about holidays B. understand his culture better
C. improve the language ability D. take part in foreign meetings
37. The writer had wanted to visit London since .
A. last month B. years ago
C. the special meeting D. her stay abroad
38. The group leader should .
A. make plans for the family B. take care of the students
C. stay with different families D. rent rooms to the students
39. The writer’s host family .
A. was very kind to her B. went sight-seeing with her
C. had two white daughters D. was interested in her activities

We have to accept (接受) ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) the truth: sometimes, we just want to shout out loud.
For example, we al ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )l have days like this: our dog has made a mess on the floor we just cleaned, or our friend called to tell us he or she couldn't come at the last minute when we had cooked dinner for him or her. We may be really angry but we tried to bear things like those. According to ancient Chinese wisdom (智慧)．We should shout in a loud voice instead of keeping silent. In fact, it's good for our health.
“Chinese people hav ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e passed on the practice from ancient times to now as a part of traditional medicine.” said Mrs. Li, a 60 -year -old woman from Hangzhou.“My parents taught me to do this. It's a part of our folk (民间的) culture.”
Mrs. Li is member of ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) a group of people who love shouting. Each morning, she and some of her friends climb to top of the hill, and let out loud shouts before starting their daily exercise. They believe that shouting is good exercise for their lungs (肺) and it brings them a lot of fun.
“Sometimes I shou ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t out and other shout back，” said Mrs. Gu , another shouting lover.“It makes you happy. You laugh and then you feel very comfortable.” X Kb1. Com
Dr. Peter Calafiur ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )a , an American doctor, agrees that shouting can have a positive influence on people's health.
So, next time you s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tart your morning run, why not try to shout out first It will make you healthier.
41.The underli ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ne word “bear” in Paragraph 2 means “________” in Chinese.
A.纠正 B.忍受 C.铭记 D.杜绝
42.Mrs.Li learnt to shout to make herself feel better from ________.
A. her parent ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s B. her teacher C. Mrs. Gu D . Dr. Peter Calafiura
43.Where does Mrs. Li shout every day
A. In a park. B. At a square. C. In her house. D. On a hill.
44.What does Dr. Caliafiura think of shouting
A. It's great fun. B. It's good for people's health.
C. It's easy to learn. ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) D. It's good exercise especially for kids.
45.The passage is mainly about________.
A. a shouting ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lover B. a shouting club
C. the advantages of shouting D. the history of shouting
D
If you want to d ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )o a school project on children’s rights(权利), you can look on the Internet for some information. A United Nations website can show you plenty of useful information for the project.
The United Nations li ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )sts the rights of children. Most countries agree all of them, but some countries do not. The following are some of the most important rights of children:
◆Children have the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )right to be properly fed, clothed and sheltered (庇护） by their family. If their family can’t do so, the government should take responsibility.
◆Children have th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e right to an education and medical care, which should be provided by the government.
◆Children must n ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ot be cruelly punished (惩罚）by their parents or any others.
◆Children have the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )right to expect the government to protect them from all kinds of abuse (虐待） and neglect（忽略）.
◆No child under fifteen should be made to fight in an army.
Children have the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) right to be protected from being made to work too hard to make money for other people.
In some countries ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )children do not have these rights. Many young children are made to work long hours in factories and on farms. In some countries there are so few schools that only rich children get an education. There are not enough doctors or nurses to help many children when they are sick.
The rights of child ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ren are, therefore, the rights people think children should have. They are not always the rights children really have.
46. agree with the United Nations’ list of children’s rights.
A. All countries B. A few countries C. No countries D. Most countries
47. The unde ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rlined word “responsibility” in the passage means .
A. something people have to do B. something people want to do
C. something people know how to do D. something people love to do
48. Which of the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )following sentences is TRUE according to the passage
A. Parents should punish their children.
B. Children should make money for other people.
C. Governments should protect children from neglect.
D. Children under sixteen should not fight in an army.
49. Some children can’t get an education because 　　 　.
A. there aren’t enough schools B. there are no schools
C. they come from rich families D. they want to work in factories
50. What’s the main idea of this passage
A. Children are made to work long hours on farms.
B. The United Nations website is useful for the school project.
C. Children ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )have the right to be properly fed, clothed and sheltered.
D. The United Nat ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ions has listed the rights it thinks children should have.

五、任务型阅读（每小题2分，满分10分）
If you spend some t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ime in an English-speaking country，you might hear the term “etiquette”. It means normal and polite social behavior. This may seem like a difficult word at first，but it can be very useful to understand.
Etiquette is not the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) same in every culture or in every situation. For example，standing very close to the person you are talking with is quite common in some Asian countries. However，if you do this in Europe，some people might feel uncomfortable. Even in China，we all know that etiquette is not the same in all situations. Perhaps we think that talking loudly in our own homes is fine，but there are other places where talking loudly is not allowed. For example，most people would agree that talking loudly in a library，a museum or a movie theater is impolite. Even if you are with your friends，it is better to keep your voice down in public places.
If we see someone b ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )reaking the rules of etiquette，we may politely give them some suggestions. One of the most polite ways is to ask someone，Would you mind doing this or Would you mind not doing that. People don’t usually like to be criticized，so we have to be careful how we do this.
Although rules of etiq ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )uette can often be different，some rules are the same almost everywhere in the world！For example，dropping litter is almost never allowed. If you see someone you know doing this，you can ask him，“Would you mind picking it up？”
根据短文内容，回答问题。
1. What does the word “etiquette” mean？
2. Find out the key sentence of Paragraph 2. （找出第二段的中心句）
3 If your frie ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nd talks loudly in the library, what would you say to him/her （根据你对短文的理解，写出一个委婉的建议）
4. 请将最后一段中的画线句子译成汉语。
5. 请给短文拟个标题。

参考答案
( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )
四、1 garden 2.public 3.silent 4. except 5 invented
1. how　2. taught　3. My　4. ways　5. jobs
6. call　7. wanted　8. names　9. information　10. success
五、1. It means normal a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nd polite social behavior. 短文第一段中，在第一次出现etiquette之后，即对这个词作了解释，即：It means normal and polite social behavior.
2 Etiquette is not t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he same in every culture or in every situation. 一篇短文通常有一个主题。文章中的每一段通常有一个主题句，一般来说，这个主题句通常位于这一段的开头。本段举例论述了礼节并非在每种文化和每种情况下都相同，正好与本段第一句相吻合，故主题句应是第一句。
3. Would you mind keep ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ing your voice down (in public places) / Would you mind not talking loudly (in public places) / Would you mind talking / speaking in a low voice / in low voices (in public places) （其中任何一句或其他符合文意的句子即可）
短文的第三段给出了两个用于提建 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )议的句型，即：Would you mind doing. . . 和Would you mind not doing. . . ？如果你的朋友在图书馆等公共场所高声讲话，你可以用这两个句型之一来建议他/她低声讲话或请他/她不要在公共场所高声讲话。
4. 尽管礼节方面的规则常常会有所不同，但有些规则几乎在世界各地都是相同的。（答案不唯一，只要表达正确、通顺，与参考答案意思相近即可）
although意为“尽管”，引导让步状语从句；can表示推测，意为“可能”。
5. Etiquette/Rules of Etiquette （答案不唯一，但是必须要概括文章的主旨大意）
本文的主题词就是etiquette（礼节）， ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )整篇文章围绕礼节及其规则展开，所以用Etiquette或Rules of Etiquette作为题目都可以。
