A tent can be one of the more costly items on your camping equipment shopping list. It is definitely something that you need to consider carefully.

By seeing a tent for real you will be able to get a better impression of its size and construction in the traditional shop. However,the downside is that,unless you are experienced,you may miss out some of the details that the manufacturer’s promotional material makes clear. Cheap tents often look similar to the quality models they are mimicking(模仿),but you can be sure that they use inferior(次的) materials and probably have lower design standards.

Shop staff are often campers themselves. That means they usually can give lots of advice. If a shop assistant agrees with your own conclusions,that will be great;if they try to change your decision with a clear and reasonable argument,then that will be worth considering;if they just try to bamboozle(欺骗),or even bully,you then walk away.

The Internet is a wonderful tool,and so long as you know how to make the most of search engines and put in a little effort,you really have the perfect answer waiting to be found. That answer will be different for every camper as each of us has different needs. Don’t be surprised to see your favorite criticized somewhere,but if you see too much criticism,then you had better start thinking again. No problem. You won’t have spent anything yet,so think of it positively as a large expense saved.

Probably the best approach,if you have the time,is to research tents online and make a short list. Then try to inspect those tents at nearby shops. Then you can make a final decision on where to buy your chosen model based purely on total cost.

1.The underlined word “downside” in Paragraph 2 means “________”.

A.disadvantage B.instruction C.argumentD.principle

2.It can be concluded from the third paragraph that________.

A.shop assistants usually enjoy going camping

B.shop assistants usually have practical advice

C.you should consider your idea repeatedly

D.it is impolite for you to trouble shop assistants

3.You can make use of the Internet to________.

A.meet your different needs

B.find the answer for every camper

C.help you out of trouble

D.find your favorite tent

4.Which of the following would be the main idea of this passage?

A.It is good to buy your tent in the traditional shop.

B.You’d better buy a tent with the help of the Internet.

C.Better buy a tent combining seeing tents for real in shops and researching them online.

In English the spelling of words does not always represent the sound. So people say /rait/ but spell it right or write, or even rite. Combinations of letters may be pronounced in many ways. And some words just seem to have too many letters.

  For Americans things are a little bit easier, thanks to the work of Noah Webster, a teacher who graduated from Yale University in 1778. As a young man, he had fought against the British in the American War of Independence, and he felt that written English in the newly independent United States should have a distinctive American look.

  So he began his work on American English. His first book, The Elementary Spelling Book, suggested simplifying the spelling of English words. The book was extremely popular. By the 1850s, it was selling one million copies a year, making it one of the most popular school books ever.

  Many of the suggestions were quickly adopted. Center instead of centre, program instead of programme, and flavor instead of flavour. Others, however, such as removing silent letters like s in island or the final e in examine, were not .

Webster is best known for his American Dictionary of the English language, which first appeared in 1828. It introduced lots of new American words, with information about their pronunciation and use, and, of course, the new spelling. The British criticized the dictionary, but it quickly became a standard reference book in the States. Today, Webster's dictionary is still the number one dictionary for American students.  

1.What is the text mainly about?

A. Webster and his best sellers.

B. British and American English.

C. The history of American English.

D. The man who made spelling simple.

2.Which is the right order according to the text?

①Webster graduated from Yale University.

②American Dictionary of the English language came out.

③Webster's book was selling one million copies a year.

④Webster took part in the American War of Independence.

A. ②①③④ B. ③①②④ C. ④①③② D. ①②③④

3.What can we learn from the text?

A. All the spelling of words does not represent the sound.

B. The Elementary Spelling Book was published in the 1850s.

C. Webster's suggestions were accepted completely.

4.What attitude do the British have towards Webster's dictionary?

A. They thought highly of it.

B. They found fault with it.

C. They argued bitterly about it.

D. They followed the examples of it.

The fourth round of heavy smog to hit Beijing in four weeks has sent more people to the hospital with respiratory(呼吸的) illnesses and led to calls for laws to control the pollution.

Pan Shiyi, a celebrity real estate developer said he is planning to propose (提案) a Clean Air Act to the local government. As a representative to the Beijing Municipal People's Congress, he started an online survey at 9:20 a.m. Within three hours, more than 25,000 web users, or 99 percent of total respondents(应答者), welcomed his proposal on Sina Weibo, China's Twitter.

They have good reasons to stand alongside Pan. The latest round of haze(雾霾)reduced visibility to under 500 meters in many parts of the city. The smog has also led to a great increase in respiratory illnesses, particularly among children and the elderly. Anxious parents and doctors almost all blame the smoggy air for the illnesses. Though most schoolchildren are home for the winter holidays, the bad air can easily move indoors. Besides, ordinary medical masks fail to provide adequate protection, so some people have turned to gas masks and respirators(呼吸器).

The causes of the scary smog are rather mysterious, though experts blame excessive emissions and the mountains around Beijing that trap pollution in winter, unless there is adequate wind to clear it away. Some critics have pointed fingers at China’s top two oil firms, China National Petroleum Corp and China Petrochemical Corporation, saying the companies’ outdated production technologies produce large quantities of substandard, high-polluting gas fuel.

Meanwhile, concerned Beijingers have moved their brainstorming sessions to cyberspace. If Pan’s proposal for a Clean Air Act is adopted, netizens say the new law should include items providing for “car-free days” in times of smog, higher standards for vehicle fuel, stricter restrictions on industrial and exhaust gas emissions, and more effective protection for the public.

Beijing is not the only city that has ever lost the blue sky. Five days of thick fog caused thousands of deaths in Britain in December 1952, urging the government to pass the first Clean Air Act in 1956, which introduced smokeless zones and cleaner fuels to reduce pollution. That may provide some experience for Beijing to refer to.

1.What can we learn from the passage?

A.People are clear about the causes of the smoggy weather.

B.Children staying indoors will not get respiratory illnesses.

C.Smog is worse for people with lower resistance to diseases.

D.Masks can give people protection against the smoggy weather.

2.Britain is mentioned in the last paragraph to ______.

A.suggest Beijing should learn from other countries

B.let people know many places have this problem

C.tell people the situation in Britain is worse

D.call on the government to pass Britain’s Clean Air Act

3.What’s the best title for this passage?

A.The Use of Gas masks and Respirators

B.Beijingers Call for Clean Air Act

C.Effective Protection for Blue Sky

D.The Mysterious Causes of the Scary Smog

The English test will be removed from China’s college entrance exam by 2020, according to details of exam and admis­sion reform revealed by the Ministry of Education. The national college entrance exam, known as the “Gaokao” has been used to evaluate Chinese students for three decades. The Ministry of Education has worked out a plan for reforming exams and enrollment. The Ministry will solicit(征求) public opinions before its release. Instead, tests will be held several times a year to allow students to choose when and how often they sit the exam so as to alleviate study pressure and change China’s once-in-a-lifetime exam system.

The plan and suggestions for its implementation will be announced in the first half of next year. It will be piloted in se­lected provinces and cities and promoted nationwide from 2017. A new exam and admission system will be established by 2020, according to the education ministry.

The decision has aroused a heated discussion among Shanghai educators and parents who doubted the reform would re­duce the burden of learning English or if the substitute test could reflect a student’s English skills and help students learn English better.

“The reform shows China is learning from the West to give students more test-taking chances. But more chances might become more of a burden since Chinese students are likely to repeat the test until they get the highest score,” said Cai Jigang, a professor at Fudan University’s College of Foreign Languages and Literature and chairman of the Shanghai Advisory Committee for College English Teaching at Tertiary Level.

Yu Lizhong, chancellor of New York University Shanghai, where classes are in English and students are required to have a high standard of English, said the most important aspect of the reform lay in what to test and how to test.

“ As far as I see, the reform doesn’t mean English is no longer important for Chinese students after it will be excluded from the unified college entrance exam,” Yu said. “In a way, English is even more important than before since the test would only serve as reference, while every college and university, even every major, can have different requirements of a student’s English skills under a diverse evaluation system. ”

Yu said some students will have their study pressure reduced if the major they choose doesn’t need excellent English while others still need to study hard if they want to be among the best students.

The education ministry said the reform would not affect students attending the college entrance exam over the next three years.

1.What can we learn from the first paragraph?

A. English will become less and less important in the stage of compulsory education.

B. It has been 30 years since English became one subject of national college entrance exam.

C. China’s once-in-a-lifetime exam system is unacceptable at all.

D. The system that tests are held several times does more good than once-in-a-lifetime exam system.

2.According to the passage, Shanghai educators and parents argue that _____.

A. the new exam and admission system will make no difference

B. English shouldn’t be removed from China’s college entrance exam

C. the reform may accomplish the very opposite

D. Western educational system does not apply to China

3.What does the passage try to express in the underlined sentence?

A. Students needn’t lay a good foundation during the period of high school.

B. Whether students should study hard English may depend on their major.

C. Students can constantly strive for perfection only in their major.

D. English must be close to full mark.

4.What’s the purpose of the passage?

A. To advise students not to devote themselves to English.

B. To call on Education Department to remove English from “Gaokao”.

C. To support the act of Ministry of Education.

D. To encourage students to do as they have planned.
