The cost of living in countries like the US, Britain, Australia or France has skyrocketed in recent years. However, if you’re willing to leave your country and explore life in other areas, there are many countries boasting an extremely cheap and low cost of living. Check out the following countries when planning your next move.
Ecuador
Ecuador is similar to the United States in many ways, and as a result has become a popular American getaway. They even use the US Dollar for their currency.

Mexico
Although the country is known for its poverty ridden streets, there are many wealthier areas that provide every facility you might need. You can live off a mere $700 to $800 a month in Mexico, and this includes rent for a nice place, facilities food, and any sightseeing.
Argentina
Argentina has been a popular tourist destination for many years. It has great restaurants, a rich history, and many places to explore. Not to mention. it’s not very expensive to live here. A decent sized home can cost around $139,000, which is relatively cheap in relation to homes in the United States.
Vietnam
Vietnam has also become a popular tourist destination in recent years. There are many million-dollar luxury homes by the beach, but you can find a modest flat or a small home for around $25,000 to $50,000 if you search in the right areas.

Today was my first day at senior high school and it was hard. In high school, you have four minutes to get to your next class. My high school is very big and those four minutes to go from one class to another really isn’t a lot of time. Today I had to go from one end of the building to the other to get from science class to math class. I wanted to go to my locker first and leave my science book there, but that took time. I was worried about being late, and I was. The math teacher said, “Just be on time tomorrow, or you’ll have detention （放学后留校）.”
After math, I went to art class. I like my art class a lot because I have the chance to create things. The teacher there showed us how to make portraits （肖像）. He explained, “A portrait is a way of communicating with a person. It does not just show how the person looks but what is important to understand the person.” We just did drawings today, but I know it’s going to be great. I like drawing.
I like my English class, too. I think the teacher is really supportive. Today we wrote about ourselves. The teacher asked us to just write what we think, and pay attention to punctuation （标点） later. We could write a paragraph or a poem, and I wrote a poem about myself. I thought it was a good poem, and the teacher said I had used good images （意象） to communicate my feelings.
I ate a hurried lunch. I arrived at the dining room with twelve minutes to eat. I sat with people I didn’t know, and everyone was eating quickly. After lunch I signed up for a computer club. I need to learn how to use a computer well because my social studies teacher said it is the one skill you need in every class.
24．What happened to the author after science class
A．He lost his science textbook. B．He got lost on the campus.
C．He was late for math class. D．He was given detention.
25．What did the author think of his art class
A．Difficult. B．Boring. C．Enjoyable. D．Easy.
26．What did the English teacher do after seeing the author’s poem
A．He praised the author. B．He pointed out the author’s mistake.
C．He asked the author to check punctuation. D．He encouraged the author to introduce himself.
27．Which can be the best title for the text
A．Learn Useful Skills at Senior High School B．My New Teachers at Senior High School
C．Make Plans for Senior High School Life D．My First Day at Senior High School
C
There are some differences between American English and British English. Some differences are quite interesting.
When my friend Lily from London used the word “larder”, I didn’t know what it meant. Realizing I didn’t follow her, she used another word. I finally knew she wanted to find something to keep some food. The next word came up when we were planning a lunch date. She jotted down the date and time in her diary, while I marked my calendar. If she called me on the phone, she would ring me up. But if the line was busy, she would say the line was engaged.
Most times, I can know what Lily means, Last week, she regretted sending her boys to watch an early morning tennis game without their fleeces, I thought that she meant without their jackets or something like those. Other times, we have to ask each other She recently told me a funny tale about a woman who was pissed. I wondered what had made the lady angry. It turns out that pissed means drunk.
Here is one more example. My British friend Jane was filling out a ticket at the grocery store recently. She asked the young man if he had a rubber. When she noticed he didn’t follow her. she quickly asked for an eraser, which, in England, is often called a rubber.
In order to communicate well with the British, we Americans should learn some words that the British use differently. And I think people who learn English as a second language should also realize that there are differences between American English and British English.
28．When Lily used the word “larder”, she was probably looking for a ______.
A．cupboard B．ladder C．cup D．cooker
29．What does the underlined phrase “jotted down” in paragraph 2 mean
A．Looked for. B．Wrote down. C．Settled down. D．Left behind.
30．Why did Lily regret sending her boys to watch a tennis game
A．Her boys got lost. B．She thought the game was boring.
C．She wanted to spend time with her boys. D．She didn’t dress her boys in thick clothes.
31．According to the text, which of the following is true in British English
A．The word “pissed” means “angry”. B．The word “rubber” means “eraser”.
C．The word “engaged” means “tired”. D．The word “jacket” is often used.
D
The scientists who re-engineered the plastic-eating enzyme （酶） PETase have now created a new enzyme called “cocktail”, which can digest plastic up to six times faster.
PETase breaks down PET back into its building blocks, creating an opportunity to recycle plastic and reduce plastic pollution. PET is the most common thermoplastic （热塑性塑料） used to make single use drinks bottles, which takes hundreds of years to break down in the environment, but PETase can shorten this time to days. The initial discovery set up the prospect of a revolution in plastic recycling, creating a potential low-energy solution to tackle plastic waste.
Now, the same trans Atlantic team have combined PETase and its “partner”, a second enzyme called MHETase, to generate much bigger improvements: simply mixing PETase with MHETase doubled the speed of PET breakdown, and engineering a connection between the two enzymes to create a “super-enzyme” increased this activity by a further three times.
The team was co-led by the scientists who engineered PETase, Professor John McGeehan and Dr Gregg Beckham. Professor McGeehan said: “Gregg and I were chatting about how PETase attacks the surface of the plastics and MHETase chops things up further, so it seemed natural to see if we could use them together. Our first experiments showed that they did work better together, so we decided to physically link them. It took a great deal of work, but it was worth the effort—we were delighted to see that our new enzyme is up to three times faster than the separate enzymes.”
The original PETase enzyme discovery indicated the first hope that a solution to the global plastic pollution problem might be within grasp, though PETase alone is not yet fast enough to handle the tons of PET bining it with a second enzyme and finding they work even faster together means another leap forward has been taken towards finding a solution to plastic waste. PETase and the new combined MHETase-PETase both work by digesting PET plastic. This allows for plastics to be made and reused endlessly, reducing our reliance on fossil （化石） resources.
32．What can we learn about “cocktail” from the text
A．It doubles the breakdown of plastics. B．It takes hundreds of years to break down.
C．It deals with the plastic waste three times faster. D．It contributes to breaking down plastic quickly.
33．What is the second paragraph mainly about
A．A new study of PET. B．The breakdown of PET.
C．The functions of PETase. D．The discovery of PETase.
34．What does the underlined word “It” in paragraph 4 refer to
A．Combining PETase and MHETase. B．Co-leading the trans Atlantic team.
C．Attacking the surface of the plastics. D．Conducting experiments.
35．What can we infer from the text
A．Plastic eating enzyme “cocktail” promises new hope for plastic waste.
B．MHETase-PETase makes the world free from plastic pollution.
C．New enzyme is speeding up our reliance on fossil resources.
D．PET pollution is no longer a difficult problem to deal with.

The aftermath （后果） of an earthquake can be frightening, but it is important that you are attentive and focused after an earthquake happens. Fires, gas leaks （泄漏）, and injuries are all dangers you might face after an earthquake. 36 By learning about the safety of your location and following the directions of local authorities, your chances of surviving the aftermath of an earthquake will be much higher.
Check yourself for injuries. 37 If you’re bleeding, lift your injury up and put pressure on it. If your injury is serious, call for help or try to get rescuer’ attention.
38 Use a cellphone to call for help if you have one. If you can’t use a phone, try knocking loudly on something nearby until rescuers find you.
Aftershocks are smaller earthquakes which follow the main shock of an earthquake. 39 So you should prepare to move to a safe location, like an open outdoor space or a structurally sound building.
Exit the building and go to a safer place once the shaking has stopped. The structure of the building you’re in may have been weakened by the main earthquake. 40
A．Signal for help if you are trapped.
B．They can cause significant damage.
C．Remain calm as the earthquake happens.
D．The more prepared you are, the safer you’ll be.
E．Make sure you’re not seriously hurt before you do anything.

In much of Asia, especially the so-called “rice bowl” cultures of China, Japan, Korea, 56 Vietnam, food is usually eaten with chopsticks.
Chopsticks are usually two long, thin 57 (piece) of wood or bamboo. They can also be made of plastic, animal bone or metal. Sometimes chopsticks are quite artistic. Truly elegant chopsticks might 58 (make) of gold and silver with Chinese characters. Skilled workers also combine carious hardwoods and metal 59 (create) special designs.
The Chinese have used chopsticks for five thousand years. People probably cooked 60 (they) food in large pots, 61 (use) twigs （树枝） to remove it. Over time, as 62 population grew, people began cutting food into small pieces so it would cook more quickly. Food in small pieces could be eaten easily with twigs which gradually turned into chopsticks.
Some people think that the great Chinese scholar Confucius, 63 lived from roughly 551 to 479 B. C., definitely influenced the development of chopsticks. Confucius believed knives would remind people of killing and 64 (be) too violent for use at the table.
Chopsticks are not used everywhere in Asia. In India, for example, most people 65 (tradition) eat with hands.

第二节（满分25分）
阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Whether we notice it or not, our child is a little reflection of ourselves. They grow up looking more and more like us. They even have similar personalities and hobbies with us. And in some cases, the standard of choosing a good friend is also similar.
One day, my 10-year-old Jane said, “Mom, I made a new friend at school today. Can she come over tomorrow ” Her words made me extremely happy because Jane was a shy girl and I wanted her to make some friends to bring her out of her shell.
“Sure, honey, that sounds great,” I said, thinking back to my own best friend, Susan, in my childhood. We lived across the street from each other in Washington Heights, New York. Like my daughter, I was shy and had trouble making friends. But Susan drew me out. She was one of the friendliest people in school, with shiny black hair and a mile wide smile. Thanks to Susan, I was happy every day.
In senior high school, Susan went on a trip to Florida. This was the first time we had to be away from each other for a few days. “I’ll be back soon and I will write to you as soon as I arrive,” she told me. But I didn’t get her phone call nor receive any mail from her. Soon, my family moved to New Jersey, making my hope of seeing Susan impossible.
Whenever I thought of her, tears came into my eyes.
The next day Jane brought her new friend home. “Hi, Mrs. Smith,” the little girl said. Her hair was so shiny and black and she gave me a big smile. “My name is Jo. My mom will pick me up two hours later.”
