【题目】阅读理解
Homestay provides English language students the opportunity to speak English outside the classroom and the experience of being part of a British home.
What to Expect
The host will provide accommodation and meals. Rooms will be cleaned and bedcovers changed at least once a week. You will be given the house key and the host is there to offer help and advice as well as to take an interest in your physical and mental health.
Accommodation Zones
Homestays are located in London mainly in Zones 2, 3 and 4 of the transport system. Most hosts do not live in the town center as much of central London is commercial and not residential. Zones 3 and 4 often offer larger accommodation in a less crowded area. It is very convenient to travel in London by underground.
Meal Plans Available
*Continental Breakfast
*Breakfast and Dinner
*Breakfast Packed Lunch and Dinner
It's important to note that few English families still provide a traditional cooked breakfast. Your accommodation includes Continental Breakfast which normally consists of fruit juice, cereal, bread and tea or coffee. Cheese, fruit and cold meat are not normally part of a Continental Breakfast in England. Dinners usually consist of meat or fish with vegetables followed by dessert, fruit and coffee.
Friends
If you wish to invite a friend over to visit, you must first ask your host's permission. You have no right to entertain friends in a family home as some families feel it is an invasion(侵犯) of their privacy.
Self Catering Accommodation in Private Homes
Accommodation on a room-only basis includes shared kitchen and bathroom facilities (设施) and often a main living room. This kind of accommodation offers an independent lifestyle and is more suitable for the long-stay student. However, it does not provide the same family atmosphere as an ordinary homestay and may not benefit those who need to practice English at home quite as much.
(1)The passage is probably written for __________.
A.travelers planning to visit families in London
B.foreigners hoping to build British culture
C.hosts willing to receive foreign students
D.English learners applying to live in English homes
(2)What can be inferred from Paragraph 3?
A.Accommodation in the city center is not provided.
B.The business center of London is probably in Zone 1.
C.Zone 4 is more crowded than Zone 2.
D.Hosts dislike travelling to the city center.
(3)Why do some people choose self catering accommodation?
A.To entertain friends as they like.
B.To enrich their knowledge of English.
C.To experience a warmer family atmosphere.
D.To enjoy much more freedom.
【答案】
(1)D
(2)B
(3)D
【解析】本文是一篇应用文,为想到英国学习英语的人提供了有关Homestay的一些详细知识。
(1)考查推理判断。根据第一段中的“Homestay provides English language students the opportunity to speak English outside the classroom and the experience of being part of a British home.”可知本文是为了那些想到英国学习英语的人所写的,故选D。

Film reviews of The Silver Glove
The Silver Bore
Daniel Jones
If you've ever seen a pirate film in the past, you can save your money. This is one of the most predictable films I have seen this year. The plot is totally unbelievable and the script is something very unprofessional out of filmmaker college..Great support acting from the Frenchman Thierry Montpasse as the evil Captain Scar is the only striking aspect.
Angela Moore
I just loved this fast-moving pirate thriller. The story moves at dizzying speed from one terrifying battle scene to the next Chief pirate, British actor Colin Williams, is given all the best, wittiest lines and the film has its share of laughs as well as scary moments. The storm scene at the beginning leaves you both exhausted and terrified.
A Hidden Treasure
Max Court
I found this film absolutely delightful. An inspiring cast is directed with great skill and invention by German Dieter Muller. The ship chase creates a lot of tension and excitement. Mystery lovers will expect their appetites to be fully satisfied.
Sharp Sword Drama
William Wilson
The Silver Glove is an action-packed pirate drama in the best traditions of this type. If you only want sword fights and buried treasure, you may be disappointed as this fascinating film also offers a complex plot which is never dull. Some of the language may be too crude for younger children, . But this is really my only complaint. Some fine acting completes this fun movie.
A.Glove Sinks In The Sea。
B. There are plenty of surprises in the story to keep the audience guessing until the last minute.
C. There is some nice photography of film making, but the Hawaiian scenery is not enough to save this film.
D. which may be regarded as a warning for parents.
E. and you really feel as if you are on the ships with these evil thieves and smugglers.
F. Pirates At The Speed Of Light.
G. and you knew what was going to happen in the film.

【题目】We all know what it means when a nice envelope lands in your mailbox: Someone’s getting married, and they’re hoping that you can be there for the big day. While saying yes to the invitation is a relatively straightforward process, things can get a bit awkward if you’re not so sure about attending. 【1】. To help you get out of these formal engagements without feeling awkward, we’ve consulted Katie Balmer, a leading wedding expert in Scotland.
Follow the format
The level of formality should be informed by the way that the invitation was sent.【2】, you should decline via post. If the message came in an email, a simple email expressing your regrets will do.
Don’t put off your response
If you already know that you can’t make it for whatever reason, don’t hesitate to let the happy couple know why. “It is very important to respond in. good time.【3】,” says Balmer.
【4】
While it’s a nice gesture to offer a reason for your refusal, there’s no need to be extreme. A simple response will do, and it’s an especially bad idea to emphasize your reason if it’s cost-related. It will establish nothing beyond making the couple feel bad.
Don’t change your decision
【5】, it is important to stick to that decision. “Going back and forth only adds to the inconvenience for the soon-to-be newlyweds,” says Balmer. “As long as you are honest and timely, the bride and groom should understand.”
A. Make it up to the couple
B. Be brief in your explanation
C. If the offer was sent to you by mail
D. Do not leave it until the last possible moment
E. Once the decision not to attend the wedding has been decided
F. Otherwise, you risk adding to the couplers last-minute wedding stress
G. Turning down a wedding is a situation where you can feel very personal

【题目】We all desire to be respected, but it doesn’t come easily just by mere wishing. Outlined below are some steps you can do to get respect.
Treat others with respect. The golden rule, “Do unto others what you would like others to do unto you”, always holds true. If you cannot respect other people, do not expect them to respect you. 【1】 Watch your attitude and change those ones that are hurting your relationship with others. If you notice people avoiding you or laughing at you behind your back, they are not showing you respect.【2】 By doing so, you will find out which areas you need to improve to get the respect you deserve.
【3】 Knowing who you are and valuing yourself as a person with a clear and fierce determination will eventually make you outstanding. People will respect individuals who believe in themselves.
Earn the respect. If you think you can demand respect from others by force, you are wrong. 【4】 Manipulating (操纵) others in order to gain respect is not only dangerous, but you are also making a fool of yourself. Humble yourself and work hard to become a respectable person. Your efforts will be rewarded by the respect, people give back to you.
Be honest. Showing honesty in dealing with people earns their trust and eventually their respect.【5】 Therefore, cultivate (培养) it the best way possible.
A. Be confident about yourself.
B. Evaluate your life and actions.
C. You earn your own respect by making things happen.
D. You harvest whatever you planted and this is a universal law.
E. Understand that people have their own ways of looking at things.
F. Your character is your best investment in getting peoples respect.
G. Respect is one of the virtues that come naturally to those who work hard to win it.

On May 14th, 2016, three foreigners saved a drowning(溺水的)Chinese girl.
Roman and Krill are Russian first-year college students. That Saturday, they were standing by the river near Shanghai Jianqiao University with their teacher, Bastien, a teacher from France at Jianqiao University. Then they saw someone “swimming”.
The three said the “swimmer” seemed to be drowning. They rushed to help, though they didn't hear any cries, and found a girl in the water.
Roman jumped into the water at once. He swam to the girl and quickly caught her arm. Then Krill came to Roman and held his hand. Bastien held on to the bank with one hand, while holding Krill with the other hand.
“The girl almost pulled us into the water as she tried so hard to get out of the water,” said Bastien.
A video showed that the rescue took less than five minutes. But it was really dangerous.
The girl, 17 ,was a student from a nearby school. The three heroes spent some time with her to make sure she was safe and not hurt. Then the girl was sent to the international students' apartment of Shanghai Jianqiao University. Roman, one of the Russian students, later found he was injured in the back during the rescue. His cellphone also broke after being in the water. Students and teachers at Jianqiao University quickly heard the news. They were all proud of them.

【题目】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。
Women are friendly. They often share with others. But men are more competitive. They are trying to improve their social status. Why? Researchers have found it's all due to the hormone oxytocin (荷尔蒙催生素). Although known as the love hormone, it affects the sexes differently.
Generally, people believe that the hormone oxytocin is let out in our body in various social situations and our body creates a large amount of it when falling in love or giving birth.
But in a former experiment Professor Ryan found that the hormone is also let out in our body during a negative situation such as envy (嫉妒).
Further researches showed that in men the hormone oxytocin improves the ability to recognize competitive relations, but in women it raises the ability to recognize friendship.
Professor Ryan's recent experiment used 62 men and women aged 20 to 37.
Half of the participants (参与者) received oxytocin. The other half received placebo (安慰剂).
After a week, the two groups switched with participants. They went through the same steps with the other material.
Following each treatment, they were shown some video pictures with different social behavior. Then they were asked to analyze the relations by answering some questions. The questions were about telling friendship from competition. And their answers should be based on gestures, body language and facial expressions.
The results showed that, after treatment with oxytocin, men's ability to correctly recognize competitive relations improved, but in women it was the ability to correctly recognize friendship that got better.
Professor Ryan thus concluded, “Our experiment proves that the hormone oxytocin can raise people's abilities to better tell apart different social behaviors.”
(1)What causes men and women to behave differently according to the text?
A.Placebo.
B.Oxytocin.
C.The gesture.
D.The social status.
(2)What can we learn from Professor Ryan's former experiment?
A.Oxytocin affects our behavior in a different way.
B.Our body lets out oxytocin when we are deep in love.
C.Our body produces oxytocin when we feel unhappy about others' success.
D.Oxytocin improves our abilities to understand people's behavior differences.
(3)Why did Professor Ryan conduct the recent experiment?
A.To test the effect of oxytocin on the ability to recognize social behavior.
B.To know the differences between friendship and competition.
C.To know people's different abilities to answer questions.
D.To test people's understanding of body language.
(4)The author develops the text by _______.
A.explaining people's behavior
B.describing his own experiences
C.telling apart sexual differences
D.discussing research experiments
