【题目】In Europe, many people make friends across the borders between their countries through town twinning. Town or city twinning means two towns in different countries agree and decide to become “twins” with sister city relationship.
Their citizens find pen friends in the twin town. They exchange newspapers and stamps. The school teachers discuss teaching methods with the teachers in the twin town. Officials visit the twin town for celebrations. Ordinary citizens travel to the twin town, too, but not very often if it is far away.
Sometimes, schools even exchange their classes for two or three weeks! For example, German middle school students study for a while at the school in their twin town in Britain, staying with British families. A few months later, their British friends come to study in Germany.
Some towns even arrange exchange visits for theatre groups, choirs(合唱团)and orchestras ( 管弦乐队). Others send lecturers to the twin town who tell the people there all about their own town , and show photos and slides.
Town twining can help make friends and motivate(促进) people to learn from each other. It helps students to improve their language skills, and it contributes to (有助于)strengthening peace and understanding between different nations.

【题目】Last summer, as part of my high school graduation project, I volunteered at Saunders House nursing home.
I choose this experience because it was something that I had never done before and I wanted to lend a helping hand.When I first came up with the idea of volunteering at a nursing home, I wanted to help out with activities and meet with some of the residents (住客).
At first it was challenging because I was extremely shy; however after getting to know the residents a little better, I started to feel more comfortable around them. My goal in volunteering was to bring a smile to the residents by doing different activities from word games to playing chess. I feel as if I had accomplished that goal.
At the nursing home, I did a lot of different activities with the residents ranging from Jeopardy, to Wheel of Fortune. One of my favorites was a word game where I would write a ten letter word on the board and the residents would try to come up with as many smaller words as possible. I could tell that it was one of their favorite games because they always seemed to be so enthusiastic when they played.I also transported residents to and from their rooms when they needed help; and whenever it was a nice day out, I would take them outside to get some fresh air and relax. On Saturday mornings, I would deliver the newspaper to the residents and on Sundays, I assisted with morning church services.
The most unforgettable part of this experience was when I had one on one conversations with the residents; it was incredible how many great stories they had to tell. One of the first residents was Mr. Charles Bowman who is one hundred and three years old!
【1】The author volunteered at the nursing home because ________.
A.she was willing to help
B.the residents needed her
C.she was good with the old
D.the old people challenged her
【2】What helped the author get over the challenge?
A.The determination to do the voluntary work.
B.Communicating with the residents.
C.The residents’ smiling faces.
D.The sense of achievements.
【3】The author felt it ________ to do the activities with the residents.
A.enjoyable B.upset
C.uncomfortable D.challenging
【4】The author wrote the passage in order to ________.
A.persuade readers to care more about the old

Patience is of great importance in our daily life. Once I waited a bus to come at a stop. Thirty minutes past, but no bus came. Both upset and annoyed, I decided to walk on feet. But no sooner had I left when the bus arrived. I thought if I had waited for one more minute, I would have caught it. If I chose to take a next bus, I would have to wait for other 30 minutes. Only then do I realize my problem. Being impatient will possible waste all the effort that we have put it in. Now whenever I am close to lose my patience, I’ll think of this experience.

【题目】The extraordinary Eastgate Building in Harare, Zimbabwe’s capital city, is said to be the only one in the world to use the same cooling and heating principles as the termite mound(白蚁堆).
Architect Mick Pearce used precisely the same strategy when designing the Eastgate Building, which has no air-conditioning and almost no heating. The building—the country’s largest commercial and shopping complex—uses less than 10% of the energy of a conventional building of its size. The Eastgate’s owners saved $3.5 million on a $36 million building because an air-conditioning equipment didn’t have to be imported.
The complex is actually two buildings linked by bridges across a shady, glass-roofed atrium(天井) open to the air. Fans suck fresh air in from the atrium, blow it upstairs through hollow spaces under the floors and from there into each office through baseboard vents(通风口). As it rises and warms, it is drawn out via ceiling vents and finally exists through forty-eight brick chimneys.
During summer’s cool nights, big fans blow air through the building seven times an hour to cool the empty floors. By day, smaller fans blow two changes of air an hour through the building, to circulate the air which has been in contact with the cool floors. For winter days, there are small heaters in the vents.
This is all possible only because Harare is 1600 feet above sea level, has cloudless skies, little dampness and rapid temperature changes—days as warm as 31℃ commonly drop to 14℃ at night. “You couldn’t do this in New York, with its hot summers and cold winters,” Pearce said.
The engineering firm of Ove Arup&Partners monitors daily temperatures. It is found that the temperature of the building has generally stayed between 23℃ and 25℃, with the exception of the annual hot period just before the summer rains in October and three days in November, when a doorkeeper accidentally switched off the fans at night. And the air is fresh—far more so than in air-conditioned buildings, where up to 30% of the air is recycled.
【1】Why was Eastgate cheaper to be built than a conventional building?
A. No air conditioners were fixed in.
B. It was designed in a smaller size.
C. Its heating system was less advanced.
D. It used rather different building materials.
【2】What does “it” refer to in Paragraph 3?
A. Baseboard vent. B. Heat in the building.
C. Hollow space. D. Fresh air from outside.
【3】Why would a building like Eastgate Not work efficiently in New York?
A. Its temperature changes seasonally rather than daily.
B. New York has less clear skies as Harare.
C. Its dampness affects the circulation of air.
D. New York covers a larger area than Harare.
【4】The data in the last paragraph suggests Eastgate’s temperature control system_____.
A. allows a wide range of temperatures
B. can recycle up to 30% of the air
C. functions well for most of the year
D. works better in hot seasons
