    Today is my first day at Merchiston Castle School,and I was really nervous about it, because I have never visited the school before and didn’t take any summer course. Despite my anxiety,I soon relaxed once I arrived; the staff were so nice that I felt my spoken English was better than it actually was! As soon as I walked into the dayroom of my boarding house,I was absolutely(完全地) amazed by the friendly atmosphere; everyone was so friendly that a boy as shy as I had no difficulty in setting in,and I made many new friends on my very first day,although I was struggling to remember all the names.

    Also I realized there were other international students in the house from all over the world,such as South Korea,Japan and Russia.Although their English was not so fluent,it didn’t take long for us to understand each other at all.In some ways,it was even better to practice Enlgish by speaking to the international students,because we were both learning.

    As a boarder,the quality of food is something I consider very important,and Merchiston has not let me down.The school kitchens are run by a professional catering company,and the quality of food is excellent,also they take the issue of a healthy diet really seriously.I remember once I was asked to take more salad for my meal by a member of the kitchen staff for I did not have enough vegetables.This brings to another point of being a boarder:you need to learn how to look after yourself and be responsible for yourself.One of the huge advantages of being a boarder is that we can have breakfast in the school,which means we don’t have to pull ourselves out of the bed as early as the daypupils!

    1.Why was the writer nervous when he was at Merchiston Castle School on the first day?

    A．Because he had no friends and relatives there.

    B．Because he didn’t know the school well.

    C．Because he was not good at English.

    D．Because he was shy.

    2.On the first day,        .

    A．though the writer was anxious,he soon relaxed

    B．he found the dayroom of his boarding house terrible

    C．he made many new friends,but he didn’t remember any of their names

    D．he thought he spoke English better than the staff in the school

    3.Which of the following is WRONG according to the passage?

    A．In the boarding house,there are only students from South Korea,Japan and Russia.

    B．The international students in the boarding house don’t speak Englsih very fluently.

    C．The food in Merchiston doesn’t make the writer disappiointed.

    D．The professional catering company thinks the issue of a healthy diet is very important.

    When you are little, it’s not hard to believe you can changed the world. I remember my enthusiasm when, at the age of 12, I addressed the people at the Rio Earth Summit. “I am only a child,” I told them. "Yet I know that if all the money spent on war was spent on ending poverty and finding environmental answers, what a wonderful place this would be. In school you teach us not to fight with others, to work things out, to respect others, to clean up our mess, not to hurt other creatures, to share, not be greedy. Then why do you go out and do the things you tell us not to do? You grownups say you love us, but I challenge you, please, to make your actions reflect your words."
    I spoke for six minutes and received a standing ovation. Some of the delegates even cried. I thought that maybe I had reached some of them, that my speech might actually spur（刺激） action. Now, a decade from Rio, after I've sat through many more conferences, I'm not sure what has been accomplished. My confidence in the people in power and in the power of an individual's voice to reach them has been deeply shaken.
    When I was little, the world was simple. But as a young adult, I'm learning that as we have to make choices--education, career, lifestyle--life gets more and more complicated. We are beginning to feel pressure to produce and be successful. We are learning a shortsighted way of looking at the future, focusing on four-year government terms and quarterly business reports. We are taught that economic growth is progress, but we aren't taught how to pursue a happy, healthy or sustainable way of living. And we are learning that what we wanted for our future when we were 12 was idealistic and naïve（天真）.
    Today I'm no longer a child, but I'm worried about what kind of environment my children will grow up in. I know change is possible, because I am changing, still figuring out what I think. I am still deciding how to live my life. The challenges are great, but if we accept individual responsibility and make choices, we will rise to the challenges, and we will become part of the positive tide of the change. I hope this goal will be met through our common efforts. Thank you all.
    57．The purpose of what the speaker said at the age of 12 was to          .
    A．end poverty and make school beautiful
    B．find environmental answers and show off
    C．focus people’s attention on some social problems
    D．find a wonderful place and clean it up
    58．What does the underlined word “ovation” in the second paragraph refer to?
    A．A long period of laughing.
    B．A cold and unfriendly welcome.
    C．An expression used for greeting.
    D．Great applause or cheering.
    59．The information in the text is presented mainly through          .
    A．question and answer         B．a personal lecture[来
    C．cause and effect                  D．listing steps in a process
    60．Which of the following best describes the speaker?
    A．He is an experienced educator.         B．He is an impolite man.
    C．He is a man of great worries.   D．He is a man of social responsibility.

    Everyone knows the smart black-and-white dog that sits on top of a red doghouse with his best friend---a bird called Woodstock.

    Created by the American cartoonist Charles Schulz in 1950, the clever dog is loved by generations of kids and adults. He speaks more than 20 languages and appears daily in 26,000 newspapers around the world.

    When Snoopy first appeared, he was not different form other pet dogs. But two years later, he had begun to speak with simple words and sounds. By 1957 he could walk on two legs and was going to school with his master, Charlie Brown, who failed in just about everything. Later he learned to use the typewriter.

    Snoopy has done lots of jobs. He has been a bow-tie wearing lawyer, a tennis player, an Olympic figure skater, a world famous grocery checkout clerk, a pilot and even the first astronaut on the moon.

    However, Snoopy has always dreamed of being a famous writer. The beginning of his story is always, “It was a dark and stormy night…” Unfortunately for him no one has ever wanted to publish the story.

    In love, Snoopy is as much of a failure as Charlie Brown is at baseball. He easily falls in love but always has his heart broken. He eats to forget, but it never works.

    Snoopy is an insightful, feel-good and sometimes sad dog. If you think a little about words, you might find them full of life lessons. Among his most famous lines are “To live is to dance, to dance is to live.” And “Yesterday I was a dog. Today I’m a dog. Tomorrow I’ll probably still be a dog. Sigh! There’s so little hope for advancement”.

     

    1. Snoopy has done all the following jobs except ____________.

    A. a lawyer        B. a player      C. a clerk      D. a writer

    2. From the passage, we can learn that _________.

    A. Snoopy is always a sad dog           B. Snoopy can not speak in the beginning

    C. Snoopy often dreams of true love      D. Snoopy is a real smart pet dog

    3. It can be inferred that Snoopy ____________.

    A. has many bird friends and relatives     B. is a well-known writer and clerk

    C. has been unfortunate since it was born   D. is very popular in the whole world

    4.The word “advancement” in the last paragraph probably means__________.

    A. success      B. progress      C. growth      D. popularity
