三、阅读理解
A
Alison Cooper is over 90, but she can still play a game of Words with Friends , a popular puzzle game app (应用程序), on her iPad. She says that the Apple product has changed her life.
Mrs. Cooper lives in a house close to Manchester Airport. She often uses her iPad to track the planes that fly overhead and explore the world with Google Earth.
“I’m crazy about the planes, so I choose the Flight Tracker to see where the planes around me are going. It's a wonderful way to keep in touch with the world,” she said. “I use it nearly all the hours of daylight, 2-3 hours in the morning, then again in the afternoon.”
Mrs. Cooper taught painting when she left school. She had a laptop (手提电脑), but struggled (费力) with it. “ Her problem was that she couldn't see the cursor(光标) , and her hands shake so hard that she almost can’t use the mouse.” said her 63-year-old daughter, Jean Holt, from Chester. “I was in America visiting my daughter, and I played with an iPad and decided to buy one for my mother.”
Mrs. Holt got some apps for the iPad, so her mother could learn how to use them. “She uses it several hours a day, and is curious to keep up with everything new. She reads the news, sends emails and uses Face Time to make video calls to us all. We’re glad that she can enjoy her life with the magic thing.” she said.

B
Life is a series of good and bad things, big and small. If I remember all the bad things right from my childhood, wouldn’t it be silly? Such as, one of my parents who hit me when I was young, the pre-school kid who wouldn’t share her red ink with me, the third-grader who would keep pulling my hair, or the stranger at the bus stop who wouldn’t let me get on the bus first …It’s terrible to remember all those unwanted memories. Thank God for our fading (衰退的) memories.
If we always remember everything that we've ever read or experienced, we would not only be walking encyclopedias (百科全书), but also be the unhappiest humans on the earth, because we would also remember the moments that someone shouted at us or hit us deeply. Imagine, what would happen to us if we carry this huge load of feelings in our body bags? With the weight that we carry around, we would be pulled down into the deep hole of negative (消极的) thought and couldn't go out. If we learn to let go of all the negative thoughts or the unwanted memories, life would be much more enjoyable.
Life is like an apple. If offers us the choice of the good part and the core (核) that we can't eat. Have we worried about throwing away the core, even for a moment? Of course NO. Then, why do we hold on to all those unpleasant memories and not to sweep them away? Don't you want to eat the juicy and tasty part? Will you eat the hard core instead?
It's up to you children to choose for yourself. There's no doubt that you should choose to let go of the core or enjoy the flesh of the apple of life to the fullest.
5. The passage is the most likely to be written to _________.
A. kids B. adults C. scientists D. teachers

B. it is impossible for you to choose your life
C. life should be like the juicy and tasty part of an apple
D. our memories dying away is really a bad thing
8. The best title for passage would be “_______”.
A. Remember only good things B. Throw away apple cores
C. Learn to forget our memories D. Let all the memories go
C
People in South Korea who feel they can no longer bear the stress of everyday life now can choose to stay in a prison to relax and think deeply.
In a society where pressure to do well in school and find highly-paid jobs is intense, a former lawyer came up with an extreme relaxation idea. Kwon Yong-seok created the “Prison Inside Me”—a stress-reduction center with a punishment theme. People come here to cut themselves off from the outside world and pay to be kept in 60-square-foot (5.6-square-meter) cells (囚室).
Located on the outskirts of Hongcheon, about 58 miles (93 km) northeast of Seoul, “Prison Inside Me” came to life after Mr. Kwon voluntarily asked to spend time behind bars for “healing reasons,” but his request was turned down. “I didn’t know how to stop working back then,” he said. “I felt like I was being swept away against my will, and it seemed I couldn’t control my own life.” So, Kwon and his wife Roh Ji-hyang decided to take matters into their own hands, and designed and built a prison-like spiritual center. The construction was completed in June last year and cost about 2 billion won ($19 million).
The facility includes 28 cells, furnished with only a toilet, a sink and a small table, where guests can spend time alone, thinking about life and enjoying private thinking periods. Moreover, guests can also join group thinking periods in the hall, where they are given instructions on how to free themselves from what Mr. Kwon calls the “inner prison” to find inner peace.
According to the Wall Street Journal, hundreds of stressed South Koreans are checking in at the stress-reduction facility to think about their lives and regain control of it. A two-night stay at “Prison Inside Me” costs 150,000 won ($146).
Mr. Kwon and his wife explained that at the beginning they had a different plan for the “relaxation center,” and imagined a longer stay for their guests, but, given that people weren’t able to take more time off, they had to reduce the length of stays to just two days.
Park Woo-sub, a guest at “Prison Inside Me,” said the experience helped him a lot. “This is my third time in prison. Being kept in a prison makes me hard to breathe, but it also offers time to focus only on me and spend some quiet time with myself.”
Others said the experience would have been more helpful if the conditions had been poorer, like in a real prison.
9.Which of the statements is true?
A. people in South Korea prefer living under great pressure
B. Mr. Kwon had intended to let guests stay at “Prison Inside Me” for over two days
C. most people in South Korea can not afford to stay at “Prison Inside Me”
D. the 28 cells are well furnished, but with no toilets in them
10.We can know from the passage that ______.
A. many people have been kept in such a prison at least three times
B. it is not a good idea for people to focus only on themselves
` C. people find it not difficult to breathe though the prison is small
D. some still felt a bit unsatisfied as the conditions weren’t poor enough
11.Who should go to the “Prison Inside Me”?
A. A successful businessman B. A criminal at large C. A primary student D. A depressed man
12.What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Many South Koreans voluntarily go to “prison” to reduce stress.
B. Many South Koreans can hardly bear the stress of daily life.
C. South Koreans should spend more time alone thinking about life.
D. South Koreans have found the best way to deal with everyday pressure.

七、任务型阅读（每空一词）
For me, living in Canada for 25 years, China is a new world that I have longed to explore. This spring, I chose Yangzhou to be my first stop on a 16-month trip around China. It was like love at first sight. At 15, I bought a book that was a collection of poems of the Tang Dynasty. In it, I heard of Yangzhou for the first time. I was deeply attracted to a poem written by Li Bai – ―Sailing to Yangzhou
in March when blossoms curl (卷曲) like smoke on the river‖.
Yangzhou, sitting for 2,500 years at the crossing of the Yangtze River and the 2,500-year-old Grand Canal (大运河), is one of 24 cities on the list of Historic and Cultural Cities in China. In the old town,
there are many streets and houses. It‘s best to visit the city in spring. Spring paints the city in bright colors.
Yangzhou has always been famous for its gardens. Among them, the Slender West Lake, one of the biggest attractions in the city, was my first stop. The park with its fantastic landscape and lots of history has enough to keep a tourist busy for the whole day. What a shame I simply could only afford half a day!
My next stop was He Garden, one of the best protected gardens in Yangzhou. It was once owned by the family of He Zhidao during the Qing Dynasty. He Zhidao successfully brought Chinese and Western
architectural (建筑的) features together.
Yangzhou is also the starting point of the Grand Canal tour. Taking a boat along that part of the canal in Yangzhou, I was amazed at the liveliness of this ancient waterway and the city‘s history and culture.
Luckily, my two-day trip to Yangzhou was filled with pleasure and wonder. It made me hungry for more of China.

Kwon Yong-seok created the “Prison Inside Me”—a stress-reduction center with a punishment theme. People come here to cut themselves off from the outside world and pay to be kept in 60-square-foot (5.6-square-meter) cells (囚室).
Located on the outskirts of Hongcheon, about 58 miles (93 km) northeast of Seoul, “Prison Inside Me” came to life after Mr. Kwon voluntarily asked to spend time behind bars for “healing reasons,” but his request was turned down. “I didn’t know how to stop working back then,” he said. “I felt like I was being swept away against my will, and it seemed I couldn’t control my own life.” So, Kwon and his wife Roh Ji-hyang decided to take matters into their own hands, and designed and built a prison-like spiritual center. The construction was completed in June last year and cost about 2 billion won ($19 million).
The facility includes 28 cells, furnished with only a toilet, a sink and a small table, where guests can spend time alone, thinking about life and enjoying private thinking periods. Moreover, guests can also join group thinking periods in the hall, where they are given instructions on how to free themselves from what Mr. Kwon calls the “inner prison” to find inner peace.
According to the Wall Street Journal, hundreds of stressed South Koreans are checking in at the stress-reduction facility to think about their lives and regain control of it. A two-night stay at “Prison Inside Me” costs 150,000 won ($146).
Mr. Kwon and his wife explained that at the beginning they had a different plan for the “relaxation center,” and imagined a longer stay for their guests, but, given that people weren’t able to take more time off, they had to reduce the length of stays to just two days.
Park Woo-sub, a guest at “Prison Inside Me,” said the experience helped him a lot. “This is my third time in prison. Being kept in a prison makes me hard to breathe, but it also offers time to focus only on me and spend some quiet time with myself.”
Others said the experience would have been more helpful if the conditions had been poorer, like in a real prison.

七、任务型阅读（每空一词）
For me, living in Canada for 25 years, China is a new world that I have longed to explore. This spring, I chose Yangzhou to be my first stop on a 16-month trip around China. It was like love at first sight. At 15, I bought a book that was a collection of poems of the Tang Dynasty. In it, I heard of Yangzhou for the first time. I was deeply attracted to a poem written by Li Bai – ―Sailing to Yangzhou
in March when blossoms curl (卷曲) like smoke on the river‖.
Yangzhou, sitting for 2,500 years at the crossing of the Yangtze River and the 2,500-year-old Grand Canal (大运河), is one of 24 cities on the list of Historic and Cultural Cities in China. In the old town,
there are many streets and houses. It‘s best to visit the city in spring. Spring paints the city in bright colors.
Yangzhou has always been famous for its gardens. Among them, the Slender West Lake, one of the biggest attractions in the city, was my first stop. The park with its fantastic landscape and lots of history has enough to keep a tourist busy for the whole day. What a shame I simply could only afford half a day!
My next stop was He Garden, one of the best protected gardens in Yangzhou. It was once owned by the family of He Zhidao during the Qing Dynasty. He Zhidao successfully brought Chinese and Western
architectural (建筑的) features together.
Yangzhou is also the starting point of the Grand Canal tour. Taking a boat along that part of the canal in Yangzhou, I was amazed at the liveliness of this ancient waterway and the city‘s history and culture.
Luckily, my two-day trip to Yangzhou was filled with pleasure and wonder. It made me hungry for more of China.
