Fatu Kekula is a hero.?The 22-year-old Liberian nursing student, in her final year, managed to save the members of her immediate family from the Ebola virus, all without the help and convenience of a hospital.
Kekula reduced the rate to 25 percent. Four of her family members were infected with the virus. Her father, Moses, her mother, Victoria, her sister, Vivian and her 14-year-old cousin, Alfred Winnie.?Sadly, Kekula’s cousin succumbed to the virus. It’s also impressive to note that while Kekula was treating her family members she managed to avoid Ebola entirely.
On July 27, Kekula’s father, Moses, went to a hospital in Kanata, after his blood pressure rose sharply. The only reason the hospital had a bed to offer him was because someone had just died. But the staff in the hospital didn’t realize the patient died from an Ebola infection. Shortly, after he was admitted to the hospital, Moses developed a fever, started vomiting and was suffering from diarrhea. Once nurses started dying of Ebola, the hospital shut down and Moses had to leave. Kekula drove 90 minutes to Monrovia, the capital of Liberia, to seek treatment. Three hospitals turned them away because there is no spare bed for patients at all.
Kekula made the drive back to Kanata to another hospital. They told Moses he had typhoid fever and did very little to treat him. So Kekula took him home. Once he was there, he infected three other family members. Her mother, sister and their cousin who was living with them.
Kekula only lost one patient, her cousin. Her method proved so effective that international aid workers, including UNICEF, began?teaching it to others in West Africa who may not be able to get to hospitals for treatment.
Her father, mother and sister were already recovering when space became available at the JFK Medical Center on August 17. Alfred passed away at the hospital the next day. Kekula’s father, Moses said, “I’m very, very proud. She saved my life through the almighty God.”
25. What is the best title for the passage?
A. A courageous and selfless nurse.
B. Give her a medal: Woman saves family members from Ebola.
C. A family survived Ebola with the help of government.
D. The dreadful disease Ebola.
26. What does the underlined word “succumbed to” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. was affected with B. survived C. died of D. fight against
27. Why Kekula took her father home?
A. Because a patient died from an Ebola infection in the hospital in Kanata.
B. Because they were turned down by hospitals and little can be done to her father.
C. Because Moses were already recovering when he was admitted to the JFK Medical Center.
D. Because nurses started dying of Ebola and many hospitals were shut down.
C
Just weeks after a special memorial voyage to mark the?100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic, an Australian billionaire has announced plans to build an exact replica(复制品) of the Titanic, which is just as similar to the original one as possible. The?Titanic replica will make its first voyage from Southampton, England to New York in 2016.
The Titanic is a famous ship that sank in 1912. The attractive story of the ocean liner(邮轮) has made millions of people interested in it around the world. It was believed to be an unsinkable ship but it hit an iceberg and sank on its first voyage. More than 1,500 people died in the sinking of the Titanic, which at the time was the world’s largest and most luxurious ocean liner.
When fully built, the Titanic II will be 270 meters (886 feet) long and capable of holding 1,680 passengers. Unlike the original Titanic which was powered by coal-fired boiler and steam engines, the Titanic II will have modern diesel(柴油机) and electric engines. Also unlike the first Titanic, the Titanic II will have more than enough lifeboats to accommodate everyone on board if something should go wrong.
When asked whether the new replica would sink, Mr. Palmer replied: “Of course it will sink if you put a hole in it. He also added “It will be designed as a modern ship with all the technology to ensure that doesn’t happen.”
When Mr. Palmer was asked if he expected his?Titanic to be successful, he simply said: “At my age, you don’t really worry so much about whether you’ll make money or lose money on something, but I believe that it is worth building it.”
28. Why is the Titanic replica being built?
A. To make a voyage from Southampton, England to New York.
B. To mark the?100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic.
C. To realize Mr. Palmer’s dream of constructing a luxurious ocean liner.
D. Not clearly talked about in the passage.
29. What’s mainly talked about in Paragraph 2?
A. The travelling route of the Titanic.
B. A short introduction to the original Titanic.
C. The number of people on the Titanic when it sank.

30. What is the difference between the Titanic II and the original one?
A. Titanic II will be powered by modern diesel and electric engines.
B. The appearance of Titanic II will be more luxurious.
C. The construction of Titanic II will be more complex.
D. The number of the lifeboats on Titanic II will be smaller.

Every year, a handful of new words enter the world’s collective vocabulary, but only one has the honor of being named Oxford Dictionaries’ Word of the Year. And this year’s top honor goes to “selfie”.
The frequency of the word selfie used in the English language has increased by 17,000 per cent since this time last year. This figure is calculated by Oxford Dictionaries using a research program which collects around 150 million English words currently in use from around the web every month. To qualify, a word need not have been invented within the past 12 months but it does need to stand out or become notable at that time.
Selfie is defined by Oxford Dictionaries as: “A photograph that one has taken of oneself, typically one taken with a smart phone or webcam and uploaded to a social media website.” Oxford Dictionaries said the earliest known usage is an Australian online forum post in 2002. A man posted a picture of injuries to his face when he tripped over some steps. He apologized for the fact that the picture was out of focus, saying that it was not because he was drunk but because it was a selfie.
Judy Pearsall, editorial director for Oxford Dictionaries, said: “Using the Oxford Dictionaries language research program, we can see a phenomenal upward trend in the use of selfie in 2013, and this helped to win its selection as Word of the Year.” She also added: “Social media sites helped to popularize the term, with selfie appearing on the photo-sharing website Flicker as early as 2004, but usage wasn’t widespread until around 2012, when selfie was being used commonly in mainstream media sources.”
Selfies have taken the world by storm. Everyone from the first family to ordinary people?has taken the time to pose for a selfie.?Celebrities like Miley Cyrus,?Jennifer Lawrence,?and?Jennifer Aniston?have all showed their new haircuts with selfies this year. Selfie was added to the Oxford Dictionaries online in August, but not yet in the Oxford English.
32. What does this passage mainly talk about?
A. The definition of the word “Selfie”.
B. The widespread usage of the word “Selfie” in 2012.
C. “Selfie” has been chosen as the Word of the Year of 2013.
D. “Selfie” began to be used in the Oxford English.
33. What can we learn from the passage about the word Selfie?
A. Social media sites helped to popularize the word Selfie.
B. The frequency of the word “selfie” has increased to 17,000 % since 2004.
C. Celebrities and the first family have all showed their new haircuts with selfies.
D. The earliest known usage of “selfie” was a man who was drunk.
34. The word “selfie” was chosen the Word of the Year by _____________.
A. A social media website.
B. The photo-sharing website Flicker.
C. A research program by Oxford Dictionaries.
D. People who take picture using a smart phone or webcam.
35. In which column of a newspaper can we find this article?
A. Arts B. entertainment C. Science D. Culture

Christmas Activities for Adults
With Christmas just around the corner, it is time for us to plan our holidays. 36
Organize a Charity Show
Christmas is about spreading joy and love. It’s about giving. We give our family presents on this day to show them with happiness and love, don’t we? But have you ever wondered how the poor celebrate their Christmas? Does Santa leave gifts for them too? 37 Use all the activities to buy gifts or necessities for those less rich.
Visit Orphanages and Old Age Homes
Christmas is an occasion for the entire family to come together and celebrate. More than the celebrations, we look forward to being near our close ones. 38 Form a group and spend an entire day with children or senior at orphanages and old age homes.
Start a Donation Drive
When we do something alone, the impact of that action isn’t as great as it would be if done by a group. 39 A lot of people will want to donate clothes and other necessary items. Along with gifts, if you donate these to people as well, it will really make a difference.
40 Plan these activities in time and have fun with your family and friends. Merry Christmas！May God bless you!
A. Shopping is an entirely different experience during Christmas.
B. Here are some fun Christmas activities that you are absolutely going to love.
C. If you have the time, organize a donation drive in your locality.
D. Now that you know these activities, you can select a few of them to keep yourself busy.
E. As charity, you can arrange for a show in your circle of friends or in your neighborhood.
F. Gifting something to your family members, friends and colleagues is important.

Dear Tom,
I’m Li Hua, an exchange student from China. I am more than delighted to hear that a New Year party will be held for us Chinese overseas students.

While I’ve seen the notice, I’d also like to know more about the party. What confuses me first is when and where the party will be held and what kinds of activities we’ll have at the party. Additionally, do you have any special requirements about clothes? Finally, I’d also like to know the deadline for signing up.
I am looking forward to your early reply.

“Children，tomorrow I shall expect all of you to write compositions,” said a teacher of Love Lane School. “Then, on Friday those who have done the best may stand up and read their compositions to school.” Some of the children were pleased, and some were not. “What shall we write about?” they asked.
Some of them thought that “Home” was a good subject. Others liked “School”. One little boy chose “The Horse”. A little girl said she would write about “Summer”. The next day, every pupil except Henry had written a composition.
“Well, then,” said the teacher, “you may take your notebook and go out behind the schoolhouse for half an hour. Think of something to write about, and write the word on your notebook. Then try to tell what it is, what it is like, what it is good for, and what is done with it. That is the way to write a composition.”
Henry took his notebook and went out. Just behind the schoolhouse was Mr. Finney’s barn. Quite close to the barn was a garden. And in the garden, Henry saw a turnip (大头菜).
“Well, I know what that is,” he said to himself; and he wrote the word turnip on his notebook. Then he tried to tell what it was like, what it was good for, and what was done with it.
Within half an hour, he had written a very neat composition on his notebook. He then went into the house, and waited while the teacher read it.
The teacher was surprised and pleased. He said, “Henry, you have done very well. Today you may stand up before the school and read what you have written about the turnip.”
Many years after that, some funny little verses about Mr. Finney’s turnip were printed in a newspaper. Some people said that they were what Henry wrote on his notebook that day at school.

Fatu Kekula is a hero.?The 22-year-old Liberian nursing student, in her final year, managed to save the members of her immediate family from the Ebola virus, all without the help and convenience of a hospital.
Kekula reduced the rate to 25 percent. Four of her family members were infected with the virus. Her father, Moses, her mother, Victoria, her sister, Vivian and her 14-year-old cousin, Alfred Winnie.?Sadly, Kekula’s cousin succumbed to the virus. It’s also impressive to note that while Kekula was treating her family members she managed to avoid Ebola entirely.
On July 27, Kekula’s father, Moses, went to a hospital in Kanata, after his blood pressure rose sharply. The only reason the hospital had a bed to offer him was because someone had just died. But the staff in the hospital didn’t realize the patient died from an Ebola infection. Shortly, after he was admitted to the hospital, Moses developed a fever, started vomiting and was suffering from diarrhea. Once nurses started dying of Ebola, the hospital shut down and Moses had to leave. Kekula drove 90 minutes to Monrovia, the capital of Liberia, to seek treatment. Three hospitals turned them away because there is no spare bed for patients at all.
Kekula made the drive back to Kanata to another hospital. They told Moses he had typhoid fever and did very little to treat him. So Kekula took him home. Once he was there, he infected three other family members. Her mother, sister and their cousin who was living with them.
Kekula only lost one patient, her cousin. Her method proved so effective that international aid workers, including UNICEF, began?teaching it to others in West Africa who may not be able to get to hospitals for treatment.
Her father, mother and sister were already recovering when space became available at the JFK Medical Center on August 17. Alfred passed away at the hospital the next day. Kekula’s father, Moses said, “I’m very, very proud. She saved my life through the almighty God.”

C. A family survived Ebola with the help of government
D. The dreadful disease Ebola
30. What does the underlined word “succumbed to” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. was affected with B. survived C. died of D. fight against
31. Why Kekula took her father home?
A. Because a patient died from an Ebola infection in the hospital in Kanata.
B. Because they were turned down by hospitals and little can be done to her father.
C. Because Moses were already recovering when he was admitted to the JFK Medical Center.
D. Because nurses started dying of Ebola and many hospitals were shut down.

Just weeks after a special memorial voyage to mark the?100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic, an Australian billionaire has announced plans to build an exact replica（复制品） of the Titanic, which is just as similar to the original one as possible. The?Titanic replica will make its first voyage from Southampton, England to New York in 2016.
The Titanic is a famous ship that sank in 1912. The attractive story of the ocean liner（邮轮） has made millions of people interested in it around the world.

When Mr. Palmer was asked if he expected his?Titanic to be successful, he simply said: “At my age, you don’t really worry so much about whether you’ll make money or lose money on something, but I believe that it is worth building it.”

My dream is to be a basketball star when I grow up. I love sports and I have enjoyed playing basketball ever since I was young. I want to be a person just like Yao Ming, whose performance on the basketball court always impresses me a lot.
I know that it isn’t easy to be a basketball star. Apart from the gift, it takes a lot of effort. On weekends I play basketball with my companions and I’ve joined our school basketball team. With my efforts, my basketball skills have been greatly improved. I believe my dream will come true as long as I always do my best.
