A young family who has never camped in their life have sold everything they own to start a tour of Europe in a motorhome. Cheryl, 33 and Jason, 28, sold their house, quit their jobs and ditched a normal life for a year on the road.
With their eldest daughter Flora, five, just a year away from starting school, the couple decided it was time to go on a family adventure across the continent. Cheryl teaches Flora while they travel to prepare her for school next year. The family, which also include their four-year-old daughter Elsie, son Archie and dogs Poppy and Angus, have been on the road for a period.
Cheryl said, “nobody would describe us as typical travelers. We’d never even been camping before. We talked for a long time about wanting to see different parts of the world, but we never actually thought we were actually going to. Our eldest child is due to start school this August, so we put it off by one year. We thought, ‘if we don’t do it this year, we may never will.’ My mom and dad died this year and after that I started to feel life is too short. We thought there must be more to life than working, eating and sleeping every day.”
The mom-of-three still can’t quite believe they’re actually doing it. After all, it happened so fast. She said, “We decided it at the end of June, sold our house in July, and then when August came around we bought the motor house and set off.”
Despite being anxious at first, with the family sometimes quarreling, Cheryl thinks the trip has helped strengthen family bonds. She said, “If we have an argument there is nowhere to hide. You can’t go into your room and be angry. It means it has to be dealt with there and then, and its taught us to be more open with each other as a family. Every day is quality family time. We couldn’t get that if we were back home with work, school and nursery.”
24.What does the underlined word “ditched” in Paragraph 1 mean
A. gave up. B. enjoyed. C. experienced. D. got tired of.
25.What does Cheryl think of the travel
A. It is too short. B. It is too expensive.
C. It is filled with quarrels. D. It is worthwhile.
26.What is the purpose of the family trip
A. To honor Cheryl’s parents. B. To experience more about life.
C. To prepare the kids for school. D. To give Jason a break from work.
27.What can we infer about the family
A. They’re actually typical traveler.
B. They have spent years preparing for the travel.
C. They become closer as family members.
D. They will hide away from each other when an argument happens.

This summer my mom and I did something meaningful and interesting.
Because of the stresses of high school, I felt depressed from time to time. What was worse, I began to eat many junk foods. As a result, I had gained a lot of weight.
My mom decided to take me to work out, and she cooked delicious and healthy snacks for me. However, I broke my word and bought high－calorie snacks. My mom found my snack wrappers in the garbage.

Remember it s not all about losing weight but about your whole life. If you want to achieve something, take it seriously, and persist(坚持) no matter what happens.”
Since then, we have been out running each morning, and we do some yoga in the evening. We sing and laugh while running along the empty roads. Day by day, I am feeling better. Exercise is helping to strengthen my body and refresh my spirits. At the same time, my mom and I cook different dishes together. Isn t it amazing that I m making such tasty－looking foods myself Cooking brings great joy to me.

Birthdays often involve surprises. But this year's surprise on the birthday of the great British playwright William Shakespeare is surely one of the most dramatic.
On April 22, one day before his 441st birthday anniversary, experts discovered that one of the most recognizable portraits of William Shakespeare is a fake. This means that we no longer have a good idea of what Shakespeare looked like. "It's very possible that many pictures of Shakespeare might be unreliable because many of them are copies of this one," said an expert from Britain's National Portrait Gallery.
The discovery comes after four months of testing using X-rays, ultraviolet light, microphotography and paint samples. The experts from the gallery say the image commonly known as the "Flower portrait"—was actually painted in the 1800s, about two centuries after Shakespeare's death. The art experts who work at the gallery say they also used modem chemistry technology to check the paint on the picture. These checks found traces of paint dating from about 1814. Shakespeare died in 1616, and the date that appears on the portrait is 1609.
"We now think the portrait dates back to around 1818 to 1840. This was when there was a renewed interest in Shakespeare's plays," Tarnya Cooper, the gallery's curator(馆长), told the Associated President.
The fake picture has often been used as a cover for collections of his plays. It is called the Flower portrait because one of its owners, Desmond Flower, gave it to the Royal Shakespeare S Company.
"There have always been questions about the painting," said David Howells, curator for the Royal Shakespeare Company. "Now we know the truth, we can put the image in its proper place in the history of Shakespearean portraiture."
Two other images of Shakespeare, are also being studied as part of the investigation and the results will come out later this month. ______.
32.What makes the birthday of Shakespeare dramatic this year
A. It was found that he painted a portrait in 1814 instead of in 1609.
B. The Flower portrait has been found to be a fake.
C. Three portraits of Shakespeare are being tested to identify a real one.
D. It was found that there was a renewed interest in Shakespeare's plays around 1818 to 1840.
33.How many methods were used to test the portrait
A. Not mentioned. B. Two. C. Three. D. At least four.
34.Which is the best sentence to fill in the blank in the last paragraph
A. Soon we'll know which portrait is reliable.
B. Maybe we cannot find a real portrait of Shakespeare.
C. If the two portraits are found to be false, they will test more.
D. For now what Shakespeare really looked like will remain a mystery.
35.The best title for this passage is ______.
A. the surprise on the 441st birthday of Shakespeare
B. birthdays often involve surprises
C. one portrait of Shakespeare is a fake
D. how can we know Shakespeare's appearance

An earthquake can strike without warning. But many injuries and deaths from this kind of natural disaster can be prevented if people follow these safety tips.
If you're inside a building, stay there! One of the most dangerous things to do in an earthquake is to try to leave a building. (36) Drop to the ground. Get under an object that is not easily damaged. Hold on to it until the shaking stops. You can also get to a corner formed by two walls with your arms over your head. If you're in bed when the quake hits, stay there and protect your head with a pillow.
(37) Don't take shelter under a tree, streetlights, electric poles or tall buildings. If you are driving, stop as quickly as possible and stay away from overpasses, buildings, bridges or anything else that might fall or collapse beneath you. (38)
If you are trapped in ruins, cover your mouth with a handkerchief or a piece of clothing. Use your cellphone to call for help if possible. Don't shout. (39) Tap on a pipe or the wall so rescuers can find you.
Be prepared for aftershocks. (40) However, sometimes they even happen months later. Therefore, if you are not in a safe position after the first shock, you should move quickly but carefully to a safer place.

阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
Should you listen to music when you work
Do you like to listen to music when you work
Ask this question at a party, and you'll probably get (41) responses. Some will say they love it, claiming that it improves their performance; others will say they find it distracting (分散注意力的) and cannot work (42) with music playing in the background.
Interestingly enough, our research has found that both of these viewpoints can be true. It just (43) on what sort of work you're doing.
In a recent study, we brought participants into our lab to perform a variety of tasks. They included a(n) (44) task—searching through word lists and crossing out words containing the letter "a" and a more difficult task—memorizing word pairs and (45) word to its partner. Some participants completed all of the tasks in silence, (46) others completed the tasks with instrumental music that was either loud or soft, and either simple or complex, the latter meaning music with more instruments being played. Several key findings (47) from our study.
We found that participants who listened to simple music or no music performed about the same on the easy task. However, participants who listened to (48) music performed best on the easy task.
On the contrary, participants performed worse on the more difficult task when they listened to any music, regardless of complexity or volume, compared to those who didn't listen to any music.
How should we (49) these findings
We suggest that people have limited mental resources from which both (50) and tasks can draw. We can become (51) and our minds may wander when these resources are not fully used. But we also can become over-excited and (52) when these resources are used up.
Not surprisingly we typically need to use fewer of our mental resources when we perform easy tasks, whereas demanding tasks require more brainpower. However, because we might be less (53) during easier tasks, there's a greater risk of drifting off. Music might give us the extra (54) we need to overcome the monotony (单调). However, difficult tasks already demand lot of our resources. Listening to music can become too much.
So best (55) should appear when we strike "sweet spot," which may depend on the type of music and the type of task.
41.A. fixed B. similar C. various D. positive
42.A. effectively B. immediately C. exactly D. happily
43.A. depends B. focuses C. carries D. takes

48.A. dull B. reliable C. necessary D. complex
49.A. make up for B. make out C. make use of D. make up
50.A. music B. work C. study D. culture
51.A. surprised B. bored C. afraid D. proud

Hi, my name is Jack. I like my senior high school life. I m a Grade 10 student. I d like to talk about my courses. On Mondays, I have four classes in the morning and two classes in the afternoon. The first class is maths. I like maths. It s easy. There are twenty-three students in my maths class, including a few exchange students who come from different nations. Chemistry is a bit boring, and there are twenty students in that class. The teacher likes to wear formal clothes and he looks nice. My English class is small. Our English teacher always gives great lectures and I think it s fun to speak English. Science is the biggest class. There are thirty students in that class—twenty male students and ten female students. Science is very hard, though. Each class, we have a test. I don t like that! The first class in the afternoon is physics and I like it best. The last class of the day is music, and we are active in that class.
