阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Those who believe that they will never do well in a particular area probably never will.Those who believe they are not good at anything will forever feel unprepared.But those who believe that it is possible to succeed at what they attempt can surprise themselves.
Adam was ready to retire.His wife Anna,however,was less enthusiastic.As she explained to a friend,“Adam has never done anything that required physical strength.When he retires,he will sit in his easy chair and expect me to bring him his food.”
But to Anna’s surprise,soon after her husband retired,he joined a health club.And one night,when Adam arrived home from exercise class,he announced,“I signed up for the wrestling tournament.I am going to wrestle Friday night.”Anna was shocked.“Please don’t do it,Adam,”she begged.“You’re not in shape.You will be so beat up that they will have to carry you home!”However,he couldn’t be persuaded and she told him that if he went through with his“,she was not going to watch.
True to her word,she stayed away as Adam wrestled.And just as she predicted,two men practically carried Adam home.He lay down on the couch,every muscle pained and wounded.Before she could speak,he blurted out,“Don’t say a word,Anna!This is not the worst of it.I won tonight.I have to wrestle again tomorrow night!”
Nothing changes in your life until you believe you can do things that are important to you.And if you have a low opinion of yourself,nobody else is likely to raise it.

Britons may like to complain a lot,but they rarely do so in the moment,explains BBC writer Ruth Margolis.They would rather grumble(发牢骚)afterward.This is because Britons hate to put someone out and cause a scene:Margolis writes:“For instance,I’m much more comfortable just leaving that piece of raw chicken on my plate instead of complaining to restaurant staff.But beware:if this kind of thing happens when you’re dining with an American,they will most likely speak up on your behalf and not understand why you find this ashamed.”
In a BBC blog post comparing cultural differences between the UK and the US, Margolis mentions a few other things that Americans like to do that are offensive to Britons.
●Not making introductions
Margolis says most Britons dislike this approach because“talking to strangers without being introduced gives them a stomachache”.Americans rarely introduce a new friend to their friends at parties.Strangers are supposed to introduce themselves.
●“Quite”good
Using“quite’’to mean“very”happens a lot in the US.But if you are invited to a dinner party in Britain,don’t describe the meal as“quite good”if you want to express high praise.To Britons’ears,“quite“good”:the meal was OK but could have been better.
●Money Talk
Americans can talk about money subjects for hours without feeling uncomfortable.For Britons,says Margolis:“talking about how much we make is unthinkable—even 1ess so than discussing our feelings”.
●Over-politeness
“It’s not that I want shop assistants to be actively rude.But neither do I want to expend energy responding to someone who’s been paid to ask:‘How are you today?’’’says Margolis.In the US,it is not unusual to be greeted by a perfect stranger as“honey”or“sweetie”.But Margolis says Britons find put-on friendliness,especially in stores,deeply irritating(使人生气的).
24.Margolis’s dining experience in Paragraph 1 shows that_______.
A.Britons are particular about foods
B.Britons are not good at complaining
C.Americans usually complain directly
D.Americans complain more than Britons
25.Which of the following might Margolis agree with?
A.Britons enjoy talking about their feelings.
B.Americans introduce themselves at parties.
C.Americans dislike talking to strangers at parties.
D.Britons feel happy if treated like close friends.
26.The underlined phrase“detracts from”in the text probably means“____”.
A.differs greatly from
B.increases the quality of
C.reduces the strength of
D.draws attention away from
27.What does the text mainly talk about?
A.How to get on well with westerners.
B.How to start conversations with Britons.
C.Ruth Margolis’s tips on public behavior.
D.Some American habits that annoy Britons.

If you had a strange sound in your ear,what would you do?One man in Wales who thought he had a fly in his ear called 999,the emergency services number in Britain.And so did a woman who was worried about her green potatoes.Could she make chips with them?Were they poisonous?She didn’t hesitate about calling the local ambulance service to ask.According to a recent report,more than 3 1,000 non-urgent calls were made to the Welsh Ambulance Service in the last year.
Inappropriate calls are a headache for health professionals everywhere.In the US,prank calls to 911 happen on a daily basis.Many callers use apps which hide their identity.But those who try to be funny shouldn’.One man from Colorado was arrested for making more than 1,2 00 prank calls,according to a report on the US television station KOAA—TV.
People who take these calls are trained to stay calm and keep a straight face,no matter how strange the call sounds.“There’s no way for us to know whether the call is real,accidental or a prank call,”said a public safety worker interviewed by the American TV channel.
The Head of Clinical Services at the Welsh Ambulance Service,Richard Lee,has a warning for prank callers.He says:“When people misuse the service it means our precious time is being taken away from someone who really does need our help.”Indeed,these hotlines are supposed to help the seriously ill or those with a
life-threatening injury.You never know,one day,the person who needs assistance could be you or someone in your family.
28.How does the author introduce the topic of the text?
A.By giving examples.
B.By telling a story.
C.By listing figures.
D.By making a comparison.
29.According to the text,prank calls are usually________.
A.meant to be helpful
B.dealt with in time
C.thought highly of
D.made to play tricks
30.What does the underlined phrase“have the last laugh”in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A.Win at last.
B.Never find them.
C.Laugh at them.
D.Know nothing.
31.What does the author intend to suggest in the text?
A.Prank calls are usually easy to identify.
B.Operators feel annoyed by strange callers.
C.Prank calls may cause serious results.
D.Prank callers should be punished by law.
D
If you’ve ever dashed into the grocery store to pick up a tube of toothpaste,you’re likely to stop before so many options available.There are at least more than a dozen brands, each one presenting several different specialties of cleaning ability.Sometimes before you have enough time to take the costs,flavors and colors into consideration,you are warned the store is closing.
But it’s not just the number of options that gives us pause for thought—it’s the amount of information each option has that trips us up(使某人犯错)too.Social scientist Barry Schwartz thinks in part that an abundance of choices and information may make us falsely believe that even a fairly ordinary task like shopping for toothpaste has great significance than it really does.He also points out that the Internet can
actually make matters worse.
Our goal is to make the“perfect”choice.When we make decisions,we’re motivated not only by the opportunity for gain,but also by the fear of loss.The decision—making process isn't a purely analytical one—researchers discovered that the process of making a choice lights up parts of our brains that deal with regret and emotional memories.But what we may regret most is the extra time spent on analyzing and comparing each and every bit of information,which can lower our decision-making ability.
One good approach is to place a value on the time it takes to make your decision,compared to the value of the decision itself.In the case of toothpaste,you probably serve your interest sufficiently by quickly choosing any toothpaste that keeps white teeth securely rooted in your minty(清新的)mouth.
32.We can learn from the first paragraph that_____.
A.more options help people make the right decision
B.different kinds of toothpaste function similarly
C.people’s personal preferences affect their choices
D.time is wasted on making insignificant decisions
33.What can we infer from the second paragraph?
A.People often make wrong decisions.
B.There are no small decisions in 1ife.
C.The Internet provides more options.
D.Careful choice iS worth the effort.
34.In making choices,people have to balance____.
A.time and place
B.gain and loss
C.regret and memories
D.opportunity and motivation
35.The writer’s purpose in writing this text is to______.
A.give advice on how to make a quick and right choice
B.show how valuable time is wasted for nothing
C. describe the choice-making process in our brain
D.offer tipg on how to save time when shopping

YOU’RE NOT ALONE---GET BLOGGING
Do you feel stressed and confused when you‘re learning English? Frustrated by your lack of progress? Well, don‘t worry. You‘re not alone! Zhao Xing, from Beijing felt just like this. So he decided to write to ‗International English Learners‘ Blog site‘. A blog is an online diary, where people across the world communicate and discuss issues with each other.
Zhao Xing‘s Blog
Hi, I‘m Zhao Xing from Beijing. I‘m really struggling to learn English and I just need some help! I‘ve got an exam coming up soon and I need to improve my speaking, listening, reading and writing skills. Please help me! I feel like I‘m going mad! Any advice?
June, china
Zhao Xing! I know just how you‘re feeling. There must be other people in your situation. Why don‘t you get together and set up some kind of ‗English Speaking Club‘? You can talk to each other about your life, your worries… It‘s an excellent way to improve your English and enjoy yourself!
Li Ming, UK
Hi there!
Like you, I‘m struggling to lean English grammar and especially pronunciation—they speak so fast here and have really strange accents! Try to watch some English films and don‘t worry if you don‘t understand everything—just guess what they‘re saying.
Daniella, Spain
It‘s a good idea to read English newspapers. Isn‘t there one in China called China Daily? Get your notebook out and write down and then translate some words you don‘t know! You‘ll find words repeat themselves and you‘ll find words repeat themselves and you‘ll quickly build up your vocabulary.
Sam, Australia
How about getting a pen friend? I‘d be happy to be yours. We can send each other messages. Don‘t be shy! Good luck in your exams. Take a deep breath, smile and you‘ll be fine!

Zhao Xing:
Hi Sam. How‘s it going? It‘s great to have an online pen friend. I‘m feeling great today. We got our end of term reports and my parents were so pleased. I‘ve never seen them smile so much. How about you?
Sam:
Hi Zhao Xing. Yes, it‘s good to hear from you. My report came today and I‘ve never seen my parents look so unhappy. I can‘t believe it.
Zhao Xing:
I‘m sorry to hear that. Do you remember the advice June gave me about setting up an English club? Well, I did!
A group of us meet after school and talk about things that interest us. Often we just talk about films we have seen. There‘s only one rule when we meet – you must speak English! I enjoy meeting different people. It‘s really helped me to feel confident when I speak English in class. Why don‘t you try and do the same? Sam:
That‘s a really good idea, thanks. There are lots of people from different countries in my school. The trouble is, they stay in little groups and don‘t mix very well.
Zhao Xing:
It must be difficult for you. There must be things you can do outside school. I really like football, so I‘ve joined a football club. It‘s great because we do something we really enjoy and speak English at the same time! And we get fit as well! How about trying the same?
Sam:
I can‘t play football but I can play the drums! I‘ve got a friend who can play the guitar. Another can play the piano. Maybe we could make a music group instead!
Zhao Xing:
Yes, great idea. Do it and let me know how you get on. But make a rule for your music group. When you are together, you may only sing and speak in English!

YOUR THREE--- MINUTE INTERVIEW(Ⅰ)
Each week, we send out our school reporter to interview pupils about their lives. See what interesting experiences Li Ming(from China has had since coming to the UK!
What the most exciting experience you’ve had?
I love listening to pop music, especially western singers like Robbie Williams and the band Coldplay. I think Robbie Williams is a great musician and his concerts are always a sellout. It was my dream come true when my school organized a trip to one of his concerts in London. Well I went and it was absolutely fantastic. The sound was brilliant and it was so exciting. I‘ll never forget that evening.
What’s the most embarrassing experience you’ve had?
After Robbie Williams‘ concert, we all went for something to eat in Chinatown. All my friends asked me what I thought would be nice to eat. I ordered lots of tasty Chinese dishes. When the food came, I showed my friends how to use chopsticks. I was nervous and dropped some food in the teacher‘s drink! I felt so embarrassed.
My friends loved the food, so it was fine in the end.
Who’s the most famous person you’ve met?
Most of the vegetables are not very nice! I had ‗mushy peas‘ which I think are peas that have been overcooked. I felt sick.
What’s the best food you’ve eaten here?
Well I enjoyed the food in Chinatown! I am starting to enjoy western food though, especially roast lamb on Sundays.
What’s the most beautiful place you’ve visited?
We went on a school trip to a place in the north of England called ‗the Lake District‘. It was wonderful. It is a little like Hangzhou in China. There were so many beautiful lakes and mountains. We climbed a famous mountain called ‗Helvellyn‘. The views were fantastic but I was really tired the next day!

YOUR THREE--- MINUTE INTERVIEW(Ⅱ)
What’s the most exciting experience you’ve had?
Just being in a different country is fantastic. When you are abroad. everything so new and exciting. The best experience was when we went with the school to the Great Wall. I remember studying it at school in the UK. I never thought it was so big and so wide. We went for a long walk along the top of it.
What’s the most embarrassing experience you’ve had?
I‘m trying to learn Chinese but it‘s a very difficult language. I‘m sure I‘ve said a lot of embarrassing things. The people are so kind though. They just laugh and smile when I speak Chinese.
Who’s the most famous person you’ve met?
Last week we visited the Olympic Stadium and there was a really famous Chinese athlete there. It was the former table tennis star, Deng Yaping. It was a wonderful experience.
What’s the worst food you’ve eaten here?
We went to an Italian restaurant last week and had pizza. It was cold and had only vegetables and no meat on it.
What’s the best food you’ve eaten here?
Definitely roast duck! We went to a famous restaurant in Beijing. It was absolutely delicious and we ate far too much. I‘ve eaten duck in England but it tasted much better here. We also got chips! The seafood is lovely too—so tasty.
What’s the most beautiful place you’ve visited?
We went on a trip to the Summer Palace. We sat beside the lake and had our picnic. There was a beautiful boat made out of marble and lovely bridges across the lake. It was the most beautiful place I‘ve ever been to. WORDBANK

THE MOST FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE
People sometimes ask me, ― What‘s the most frightening experience you‘ve ever had?‖ Well, it happened when I was 12. It was also the most uncomfortable experience I have ever had. My mother, my sisters and I left Heathrow Airport to go on holiday to Cyprus.
My dad came to the airport to say goodbye. Unfortunately he was working and could not come with us. We got on the plane. The take-off was fine. Later the air stewards served us our meals.
I was busy eating when the plane rocked. My plate went flying. Most of the other passengers‘ plates fell too. I remember thinking that there must be food everywhere.
All of the lights in the plane went off. The seatbelt signs came on. The plane kept on bumping. I was scared tat there might be a serious problem. I wished that my father was with us. Then we heard the captain of the plane. He said, ―I‘m sorry, ladies and gentlemen. We are going through a storm. Please stay in your seats‖. The air stewards also had to stay in their seats. There was no one who could clear away our plates and food. My drink had fallen on my trousers and I was so uncomfortable. There was thunder and lightning outside. We had to sit like that for more than an hour while the plane bumped along. After a while I wanted to go to the toilet. So did everyone else, I‘m sure. The air stewards tried to stay calm and polite.

A
China is a land of bicycles.At least it was back in 1992 when I traveled the country.Back then everyone seemed to be riding a bicycle.Millions of them,all black.Cars were rare.Yet since my arrival in Beijing last year, I‟ve found the opposite is true.There are millions of cars.However, people still use their bicycles to get around.For many, it's the easiest and cheapest way to travel today.Bicycles also come in different colors—silver, green, red, blue,yellow, whatever you want.
It‟s fun people biking.They rush quickly through crossroads, move skillfully through traffic,and ride even on sidewalks.Bicycles allow people the freedom to move about that cars just can‟t provide.
Eager to be part of this aspect of Chinese culture,I decided to buy a bicycle.Great weather accompanied my great buy.I immediately jumped up on my bicycle seat and started home.
My first ride home was orderly.To be safe, I stayed with a“pack”of bikers while cars on the streets came running swiftly out of nowhere at times.I didn't want to get hit.So I took the ride carefully.
Crossing the streets was the biggest problem. It was a lot like crossing a major highway back in the United States.The streets here were wide,so crossing took time,skill and a little bit of luck.
I finally made it home.The feeling on the bicycle was amazing. The air hitting my face and going through my hair was wonderful.I was sitting on top of the world as I passed by places and
people.Biking made me feel alive.
21. According to the author, why are bicycles still popular in China today?
A. Because they are traditional and safe.
B. Because they are convenient and inexpensive.
C. Because they are colorful and available.
D. Because they are fast and environment friendly.
22. How did the author feel about his street crossing?
A. It was boring. B. It was difficult.
C. It was lively. D. It was wonderful.
23. Which of the following best describes the author‟s biking experience?
A. The author enjoyed showing off his biking skills.
B. The author was annoyed by the air while riding.
C. The author was praised by the other bikers.
D. The author took great pleasure in biking.
B
Britons may like to complain a lot, but they rarely do so right now, explains BBC writer Ruth Margolis. They would rather grumble (发牢骚) afterward. This is because Britons hate to put someone out and cause any embarrassment. Margolis writes, “For instance, I‟m much more comfortable just leaving that piece of raw chicken on my plate instead of complaining to restaurant staff. But beware: if this kind of thing happens when you‟re dining with an American, they will most likely speak up on your behalf and not understand why you find this ashamed.”
In a BBC blog post comparing cultural differences between the UK and the US, Margolis mentions a few other things that Americans like to do that are offensive to Britons.
● Not making introductions
Margolis says most Britons dislike this approach because “talking to strangers without being introduced gives them a stomachache”. Americans rarely introduce a new friend to their friends at parties. Strangers are supposed to introduce themselves.
● “Quite” good
Using “quite” to mean “very” happens a lot in the US. But if you are invited to a dinner party in Britain, don't describe the meal as “quite good” if you want to express high praise. To Britons‟ ears, “quite” the “good”: the meal was OK but could have been better.
● Money Talk
Americans can talk about money subjects for hours without feeling uncomfortable. For Britons, says Margolis, “Talking about how much we make is unthinkable — even 1ess so than discussing our feelings.”
● Over-politeness
“It‟s not that I want shop assistants to be actively rude. But neither do I want to expend energy responding to someone who's been paid to ask: „How are you today?‟” says Margolis. In the US, it is not unusual to be greeted by a perfect stranger as “honey” or “sweetie”. But Margolis says Britons find put-on friendliness, especially in stores, deeply irritating.
24. Margolis‟ dining experience in Paragraph 1 shows that_______.
A. Britons are particular about foods
B. Britons are not good at complaining
C. Americans usually complain directly
D. Americans complain more than Britons
25. Which of the following might Margolis agree with?
A. Britons enjoy talking about their feelings.
B. Americans introduce themselves at parties.
C. Americans dislike talking to strangers at parties.
D. Britons feel happy if treated like close friends.
26. The underlined phrase “detracts from” in the text probably means ____.
A. differs greatly from B. increases the quality of
C. reduces the strength of D. draws attention away from
27. What does the text mainly talk about?
A. How to get on well with westerners.
B. How to start conversations with Britons.
C. Ruth Margolis‟ tips on public behavior.
D. Some American habits that annoy Britons.
C
If you had a strange sound in your ear, what would you do? One man in Wales who thought he had a fly in his ear called 999, the emergency services number in Britain. And so did a woman who was worried about her green potatoes. Could she make chips with them? Were they poisonous? She didn‟t hesitate about calling the local ambulance service to ask. According to a recent report, more than 31,000 non-urgent calls were made to the Welsh Ambulance Service in the last year.
Inappropriate calls are a headache for health professionals everywhere. In the US, prank calls to 911 happen on a daily basis. Many callers use apps which hide their identity. But those who try to be funny shouldn‟t be surprised if the police arrested for making more than 1,200 prank calls, according to a report on the US television station KOAA—TV.
People who take these calls are trained to stay calm and keep a straight face, no matter how strange the call sounds. “There‟s no way for us to know whether the call is real, accidental or a prank call,” said a public safety worker interviewed by the American TV channel.
The Head of Clinical Services at the Welsh Ambulance Service, Richard Lee, has a warning for prank callers. He says:“ When people misuse the service it means our precious time is being taken away from someone who really does need our help.” Indeed, these hotlines are supposed to help the seriously ill or those with a life-threatening injury. You never know, one day, the person who needs assistance could be you or someone in your family.
28. How does the author introduce the topic of the text?
A. By giving examples. B. By telling a story.
C. By listing figures. D. By making a comparison.
29. According to the text, prank calls are usually________.
A. meant to be helpful B. dealt with in time
C. thought highly of D. made to play tricks
30. What does the underlined phrase “have the last laugh” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. win at last. B. never find them.
C. laugh at them. D. know nothing.
31. What does the author intend to suggest in the text?
A. Prank calls are usually easy to identify.
B. Operators feel annoyed by strange callers.
C. Prank calls may cause serious results.
D. Prank callers should be punished by law.
D
Have you ever run into a careless cell phone user on the street? Perhaps they were busy talking, testing or checking updates on WeChat without looking at what was going on around them. As the number of this new “species” of human has kept rising, they have been given a new name — phubbers (低头族).
Recently, a cartoon created by students from China Central Academy of Fine Arts put this
group of people under the spotlight. In the short film, phubbers with various social identities bury themselves in their phones. A doctor plays with his cell phone while letting his patient die, a pretty woman takes selfie in front of a car accident site and a father loses his child without knowing about it while using his mobile phone. A chain of similar events eventually leads to the destruction of the world.
Although the ending sounds overstated, the damage phubbing can bring is real. Your health is the first to bear the effect and result of it. “Constantly bending your head to check your cell phone could damage your neck,” Guangming Daily quoted doctors as saying. “The neck is like a rope that breaks after long-term stretching.” Also, staring at cell phones for long periods of time will damage your eyesight gradually, according to the report.
But that‟s not all. Being a phubber could also damage your social skills and drive you away from your friends and family. At reunions with family or friends, many people tend to stick to their cell phones while others are chatting happily with each other and this creates a strange atmosphere, Qilu Evening News reported.
It can also cost you your life. There have been lots of reports on phubbers who fell to their death, suffered accidents, and were robbed of their cell phones in broad daylight.
32. For what purpose does the author give the example of a cartoon in Para. 2?
A. To inform people of the bad effects of phubbing.
B. To advertise the cartoon made by students.
C. To indicate the world will finally be destroyed by phubbers.
D. To warn doctors against using cell phones while treating patients.
33. Which of the following is NOT a risk a phubber may have?
A. His social skills could be affected.
B. His neck and eyesight will be gradually harmed.
C. He will cause the destruction of the world.
D. He might get separated from his friends and family.
34. Which of the following may be the author‟s attitude towards phubbing?
A. Supportive. B. Opposed. C. Optimistic. D. Objective.
35. What may the passage talk about next?
A. Advice on how to use a cell phone.
B. People addicted to phubbing.
C. Measures to reduce the risks of phubbing.
D. Consequences of phubbing.

While serious training is important for all dogs, playtime is just as important. Use these games to help teach your dog how to play.
1. Hide and Seek
Hide and seek isn‟t just for kids. Dogs can really enjoy this game. Pick up one of your dog‟s favorite toys or treats. Tell your dog to stay. When you are ready, call your dog to come to you.

Those who believe that they will never do well in a particular area probably never will.Those who believe they are not good at anything will forever feel unprepared.But those who believe that it is possible to succeed at what they attempt can surprise themselves.
Adam was ready to retire.His wife Anna,however,was less enthusiastic.As she explained to a friend,“Adam has never done anything that required physical strength.When he retires,he will sit in his easy chair and expect me to bring him his food.”
But to Anna’s surprise,soon after her husband retired,he joined a health club.And one night,when Adam arrived home from exercise class,he announced,“I signed up for the wrestling tournament.I am going to wrestle Friday night.”Anna was shocked.“Please don’t do it,Adam,”she begged.“You’re not in shape.You will be so beat up that they will have to carry you home!”However,he couldn’t be persuaded and she told him that if he went through with his“,she was not going to watch.
True to her word,she stayed away as Adam wrestled.And just as she predicted,two men practically carried Adam home.He lay down on the couch,every muscle pained and wounded.Before she could speak,he blurted out,“Don’t say a word,Anna!This is not the worst of it.I won tonight.I have to wrestle again tomorrow night!”
Nothing changes in your life until you believe you can do things that are important to you.And if you have a low opinion of yourself,nobody else is likely to raise it.
21.How did Adam feel about his retirement?
A.Worried. B.Prepared. C.Annoyed.
22.What does the“lame idea”in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A.Adam’s joining a health club.
B.Going to wrestle Friday night.
C.Being beat up by other wrestlers.
D.Adam’s going to be carried home.
D.Surprised.
23.What can we learn from Adam’s story?

D.A wife should support her husband.

Britons may like to complain a lot,but they rarely do so in the moment,explains BBC writer Ruth Margolis.They would rather grumble(发牢骚)afterward.This is because Britons hate to put someone out and cause a scene:Margolis writes:“For instance,I’m much more comfortable just leaving that piece of raw chicken on my plate instead of complaining to restaurant staff.But beware:if this kind of thing happens when you’re dining with an American,they will most likely speak up on your behalf and not understand why you find this ashamed.”
In a BBC blog post comparing cultural differences between the UK and the US, Margolis mentions a few other things that Americans like to do that are offensive to Britons. ●Not making introductions
Margolis says most Britons dislike this approach because“talking to strangers without being introduced gives them a stomachache”.Americans rarely introduce a new friend to their friends at parties.Strangers are supposed to introduce themselves.
●“Quite”good
Using“quite’’to mean“very”happens a lot in the US.But if you are invited to a dinner party in Britain,don’t describe the meal as“quite good”if you want to express high praise.To Britons’ears,“quite“good”:the meal was OK but could have been better. ●Money Talk
Americans can talk about money subjects for hours without feeling uncomfortable.For Britons,says Margolis:“talking about how much we make is unthinkable—even 1ess so than discussing our feelings”.
●Over-politeness
“It’s not that I want shop assistants to be actively rude.But neither do I want to expend energy responding to someone who’s been paid to ask:‘How are you today?’’’says Margolis.In the US,it is not unusual to be greeted by a perfect stranger as“honey”or“sweetie”.But Margolis says Britons find put-on friendliness,especially in stores,deeply irritating(使人生气的).

Crossing the streets was the biggest problem. It was a lot like crossing a major highway back in the United States.The streets here were wide,so crossing took time,skill and a little bit of luck.

If you had a strange sound in your ear, what would you do? One man in Wales who thought he had a fly in his ear called 999, the emergency services number in Britain. And so did a woman who was worried about her green potatoes. Could she make chips with them? Were they poisonous? She didn‟t hesitate about calling the local ambulance service to ask. According to a recent report, more than 31,000 non-urgent calls were made to the Welsh Ambulance Service in the last year.
Inappropriate calls are a headache for health professionals everywhere. In the US, prank calls to 911 happen on a daily basis. Many callers use apps which hide their identity. But those who try to be funny shouldn‟t be surprised if the police more than 1,200 prank calls, according to a report on the US television station KOAA—TV.
People who take these calls are trained to stay calm and keep a straight face, no matter how strange the call sounds. “There‟s no way for us to know whether the call is real, accidental or a prank call,” said a public safety worker interviewed by the American TV channel.
The Head of Clinical Services at the Welsh Ambulance Service, Richard Lee, has a warning for prank callers. He says:“ When people misuse the service it means our precious time is being taken away from someone who really does need our help.” Indeed, these hotlines are supposed to help the seriously ill or those with a life-threatening injury. You never know, one day, the person who needs assistance could be you or someone in your family.
28. How does the author introduce the topic of the text?
A. By giving examples. B. By telling a story.
C. By listing figures. D. By making a comparison.
29. According to the text, prank calls are usually________.

A. win at last. B. never find them.
C. laugh at them. D. know nothing.
31. What does the author intend to suggest in the text?
A. Prank calls are usually easy to identify.
B. Operators feel annoyed by strange callers.
C. Prank calls may cause serious results.
D. Prank callers should be punished by law.
D
Have you ever run into a careless cell phone user on the street? Perhaps they were busy talking, testing or checking updates on WeChat without looking at what was going on around them. As the number of this new “species” of human has kept rising, they have been given a new name — phubbers (低头族). Recently, a cartoon created by students from China Central Academy of Fine Arts put this group of people under the spotlight. In the short film, phubbers with various social identities bury themselves in their phones. A doctor plays with his cell phone while letting his patient die, a pretty woman takes selfie in front of a car accident site and a father loses his child without knowing about it while using his mobile phone. A chain of similar events eventually leads to the destruction of the world.
Although the ending sounds overstated, the damage phubbing can bring is real. Your health is the first to bear the effect and result of it. “Constantly bending your head to check your cell phone could damage your neck,” Guangming Daily quoted doctors as saying. “The neck is like a rope that breaks after long-term stretching.” Also, staring at cell phones for long periods of time will damage your eyesight gradually, according to the report.
But that’s not all. Being a phubber could also damage your social skills and drive you away from your friends and family. At reunions with family or friends, many people tend to stick to their cell phones while others are chatting happily with each other and this creates a strange atmosphere, Qilu Evening News reported.
It can also cost you your life. There have been lots of reports on phubbers who fell to their death, suffered accidents, and were robbed of their cell phones in broad daylight.
32. For what purpose does the author give the example of a cartoon in Para. 2?
A. To inform people of the bad effects of phubbing.
B. To advertise the cartoon made by students.
C. To indicate the world will finally be destroyed by phubbers.
D. To warn doctors against using cell phones while treating patients.
33. Which of the following is NOT a risk a phubber may have?
A. His social skills could be affected.
B. His neck and eyesight will be gradually harmed.
C. He will cause the destruction of the world.
D. He might get separated from his friends and family.
34. Which of the following may be the author’s attitude towards phubbing?
A. Supportive. B. Opposed. C. Optimistic. D. Objective.
35. What may the passage talk about next?
A. Advice on how to use a cell phone.
B. People addicted to phubbing.
C. Measures to reduce the risks of phubbing.
D. Consequences of phubbing.

China is a land of bicycles.At least it was back in 1992 when I traveled the country.Back then everyone seemed to be riding a bicycle.Millions of them,all black.Cars were rare.Yet since my arrival in Beijing last year, I‟ve found the opposite is true.There are millions of cars.However, people still use their bicycles to get around.For many, it's the easiest and cheapest way to travel today.Bicycles also come in different colors—silver, green, red, blue,yellow, whatever you want.
It‟s fun people biking.They rush quickly through crossroads, move skillfully through traffic,and ride even on sidewalks.Bicycles allow people the freedom to move about that cars just can‟t provide. Eager to be part of this aspect of Chinese culture,I decided to buy a bicycle.Great weather accompanied my great buy.I immediately jumped up on my bicycle seat and started home.
My first ride home was orderly.To be safe, I stayed with a“pack”of bikers while cars on the streets came running swiftly out of nowhere at times.I didn't want to get hit.So I took the ride carefully.
Crossing the streets was the biggest problem. It was a lot like crossing a major highway back in the United States.The streets here were wide,so crossing took time,skill and a little bit of luck.
I finally made it home.The feeling on the bicycle was amazing. The air hitting my face and going through my hair was wonderful.I was sitting on top of the world as I passed by places and people.Biking made me feel alive.
21. According to the author, why are bicycles still popular in China today?
A. Because they are traditional and safe.
B. Because they are convenient and inexpensive.
C. Because they are colorful and available.
D. Because they are fast and environment friendly.

Britons may like to complain a lot, but they rarely do so right now, explains BBC writer Ruth Margolis. They would rather grumble (发牢骚) afterward. This is because Britons hate to put someone out and cause any embarrassment. Margolis writes, “For instance, I‟m much more comfortable just leaving that piece of raw chicken on my plate instead of complaining to restaurant staff. But beware: if this kind of thing happens when you‟re dining with an American, they will most likely speak up on your behalf and not understand why you find this ashamed.”
In a BBC blog post comparing cultural differences between the UK and the US, Margolis mentions a few other things that Americans like to do that are offensive to Britons.
● Not making introductions
Margolis says most Britons dislike this approach because “talking to strangers without being introduced gives them a stomachache”. Americans rarely introduce a new friend to their friends at parties. Strangers are supposed to introduce themselves.
● “Quite” good
Using “quite” to mean “very” happens a lot in the US. But if you are invited to a dinner party in Britain, don't describe the meal as “quite good” if you want to express high praise. To Britons‟ ears, “quite” the “good”: the meal was OK but could have been better.
● Money Talk
Americans can talk about money subjects for hours without feeling uncomfortable. For Britons, says Margolis, “Talking about how much we make is unthinkable — even 1ess so than discussing our feelings.”
● Over-politeness
“It‟s not that I want shop assistants to be actively rude. But neither do I want to expend energy responding to someone who's been paid to ask: „How are you today?‟” says Margolis. In the US, it is not unusual to be greeted by a perfect stranger as “honey” or “sweetie”. But Margolis says Britons find put-on friendliness, especially in stores, deeply irritating.
24. Margolis‟ dining experience in Paragraph 1 shows that_______.
A. Britons are particular about foods
B. Britons are not good at complaining
C. Americans usually complain directly
D. Americans complain more than Britons
25. Which of the following might Margolis agree with?
A. Britons enjoy talking about their feelings.
B. Americans introduce themselves at parties.
C. Americans dislike talking to strangers at parties.
D. Britons feel happy if treated like close friends.
26. The underlined phrase “detracts from” in the text probably means ____.
A. differs greatly from B. increases the quality of
C. reduces the strength of D. draws attention away from
27. What does the text mainly talk about?
A. How to get on well with westerners.
B. How to start conversations with Britons.
C. Ruth Margolis‟ tips on public behavior.
D. Some American habits that annoy Britons.

If you had a strange sound in your ear, what would you do? One man in Wales who thought he had a fly in his ear called 999, the emergency services number in Britain. And so did a woman who was worried about her green potatoes. Could she make chips with them? Were they poisonous? She didn‟t hesitate about calling the local ambulance service to ask. According to a recent report, more than 31,000 non-urgent calls were made to the Welsh Ambulance Service in the last year.
Inappropriate calls are a headache for health professionals everywhere. In the US, prank calls to 911 happen on a daily basis. Many callers use apps which hide their identity. But those who try to be funny shouldn‟making more than 1,200 prank calls, according to a report on the US television station KOAA—TV. People who take these calls are trained to stay calm and keep a straight face, no matter how strange the call sounds. “There‟s no way for us to know whether the call is real, accidental or a prank call,” said a public safety worker interviewed by the American TV channel.
The Head of Clinical Services at the Welsh Ambulance Service, Richard Lee, has a warning for prank callers. He says:“ When people misuse the service it means our precious time is being taken away from someone who really does need our help.” Indeed, these hotlines are supposed to help the seriously ill or those with a life-threatening injury. You never know, one day, the person who needs assistance could be you or someone in your family.

C. laugh at them. D. know nothing. 31. What does the author intend to suggest in the text?

Have you ever run into a careless cell phone user on the street? Perhaps they were busy talking, testing or checking updates on WeChat without looking at what was going on around them. As the number of this new “species” of human has kept rising, they have been given a new name — phubbers (低头族).
Recently, a cartoon created by students from China Central Academy of Fine Arts put this group of people under the spotlight. In the short film, phubbers with various social identities bury themselves in their phones. A doctor plays with his cell phone while letting his patient die, a pretty woman takes selfie in front of a car accident site and a father loses his child without knowing about it while using his mobile phone. A chain of similar events eventually leads to the destruction of the world.
Although the ending sounds overstated, the damage phubbing can bring is real. Your health is the first to bear the effect and result of it. “Constantly bending your head to check your cell phone could damage your neck,” Guangming Daily quoted doctors as saying. “The neck is like a rope that breaks after long-term stretching.” Also, staring at cell phones for long periods of time will damage your eyesight gradually, according to the report.
But that’s not all. Being a phubber could also damage your social skills and drive you away from your friends and family. At reunions with family or friends, many people tend to stick to their cell phones while others are chatting happily with each other and this creates a strange atmosphere, Qilu
Evening News reported.
It can also cost you your life. There have been lots of reports on phubbers who fell to their death, suffered accidents, and were robbed of their cell phones in broad daylight.
32. For what purpose does the author give the example of a cartoon in Para. 2?
A. To inform people of the bad effects of phubbing.
B. To advertise the cartoon made by students.
C. To indicate the world will finally be destroyed by phubbers.
D. To warn doctors against using cell phones while treating patients.
33. Which of the following is NOT a risk a phubber may have?
A. His social skills could be affected.
B. His neck and eyesight will be gradually harmed.
C. He will cause the destruction of the world.
D. He might get separated from his friends and family.
34. Which of the following may be the author’s attitude towards phubbing?
A. Supportive. B. Opposed. C. Optimistic. D. Objective.
35. What may the passage talk about next?
A. Advice on how to use a cell phone.
B. People addicted to phubbing.
C. Measures to reduce the risks of phubbing.
D. Consequences of phubbing.

While serious training is important for all dogs, playtime is just as important. Use these games to help teach your dog how to play.
1. Hide and Seek
Hide and seek isn‟t just for kids. Dogs can really enjoy this game. Pick up one of your dog‟s favorite toys or treats. Tell your dog to stay. When you are ready, call your dog to come to you. If possible, squeak (使吱吱叫) the toy or shake the treats. Reward your dog with praise and the toy or treat when she finds you.
2. Fetch
Many dogs have a natural ability to fetch. Other dogs can be taught how. Play indoors with a soft toy or outdoors in a fenced-in area with a ball or disc. For dogs that really love to run, try this game of fetch!
3. Find the Treat
Dogs have superior senses of smell, and most love to use their noses to find food. Let your dog use her brain and her nose to find hidden goodies. First, have your dog stay out of sight. Then, hide her favorite treats in various places around the room. If help is needed, you can lead her around or point to areas for her to explore.
Whatever the game, safety comes first! Remember to watch your dog for signs of exhaustion or overheating when you are playing. Stop if your dog seems tired or shows signs of anxiety. When other dogs or people are around, it may create a dangerous distraction.
A. Then, go to find a good hiding place.
B. Try different games to see which your dog responds to best.
C. A good game of fetch can be played almost anywhere.
D. You can include games in training as well.
E. Also be aware of your surroundings when playing with your dog.
