    　　As a third-year high school student, I feel that students today study English merely for the purpose of getting high scores in all sorts of so-called English exams. This phenomenon misleads students like my classmates into making a great effort to deal with English exams, not the rich language itself. Needless to say, it is unfortunate.

    　　I started the voyage in the ocean of the English language at an early age. Being fed up with reciting each word taught in every class, I soon gained the idea that English was a bore! Luckily for me, under the vivid pen of Charlotte Bronte, the life of Jane Eyre touched me so much that I spent several sleepless nights to read the whole book. This marked the change of my attitude to-wards English from hating to loving. I began to be inspired by the wisdom of European and American literature written in English and was amazed by the beauty and richness of the language. As time went by, the more I read, the more I found English lovely. I could still remember one winter vacation when I raced into one school library to borrow my longed-for English novels. At night, when soft light spread on the pages, my expecting heart beat with the author's. I was so eager to get on with my reading that I could hardly sleep. My world had come alive! I was 16 at the time.

    　　Now, I am often asked why I read so many“useless”things in English and how to study English well. My response would be,“Learn English as a language, not as an exam subject.”Then, I caught sight of disappointing eyes and doubts. Indeed, that's what I concluded from my study of the English language. Honestly, to me, English is truly a magic box that can grab my soul and absorb my entire mind. It's filled with wisdom and adventures which are hard to explain and share. I believe many people would agree with me and be sorry for the present situation of high school English teaching. So I'd like to call Upon English learners and friends to save our beloved English from being misconducted.

    (1) What makes the author feel unsatisfied in studying English?

    [　　]

    A．The writer's starting learning English too early.

    B．The incorrect aim of studying English.

    C．The boring English.

    D．The“useless”things on English.

    (2) What brought the writer interest in English again?

    [　　]

    A．New English words.
    B．American literature.
    C．English novels.
    D．English exams.

    (3) When do you think the writer read the English literature?

    [　　]

    A．At night.
    B．In school.
    C．In one of the school libraries.
    D．In English classes.

    (4) Who does the writer think are to blame for the unfortunate English study?

    [　　]

    A．The writer's friends.
    B．Students.
    C．Parents.
    D．English teachers.

    How could I turn down an opportunity for a weeklong cruise on a luxury motorsailer in the Andaman Sea? Without a second thought, I packed my bags and jumped on a plane to Singapore, and the following day I found myself looking out the airplane window at the beautiful waters surrounding the island of Langkawi off the coast of Malaysia.

    The last time I was in Langkawi was in 2001, when it was relatively quiet. Langkawi has come a long way since then; there are 4, 5, and even 6-star hotels, as well as spas, golfing, horseback riding and even a cable car taking visitors to the highest point on the island.

    At the Langkawi International Airport I met my shipmates and we were driven to Pantai Tengah with a quick pit stop for sunblock and duty-free goodies. Many other shopping opportunities abound since Langkawi was designated as a duty-free zone in 1987 to entice tourists to the island.

    A luxurious yacht tender picked us up. Phillipe, the first mate, maneuvered the tender between sailboats and as we went around a small island there she was, S/V Blue Gold. This majestic 10-passenger sailboat—all 165 feet of her—had been built in Italy and recently underwent a full retrofit. Once aboard, the crew welcomed us with refreshments and big smiles. Before we got too comfortable and settled into the plush comforts of the boat, Alain, the captain, took us on a tour of Blue Gold’s impressive accommodations. The master suite had a king-size bed, with a lounge area and “his & hers” wardrobes. The VIP cabin had a queen-size bed, also with a lounge area. Both had ensuite bathrooms.

    The first evening aboard was the perfect start to our voyage—a small cocktail party followed by a light meal of seared tuna salad. It was exactly what our jet-lagged bodies craved, and we all slept very well aboard what would become our new home for the next 7 days.

    In the morning after breakfast, we sailed to Pulau Ta Ngah (also spelled “Pulau Tengah”; pulau means island in Malay). In the 1970s the site had been a Vietnamese refugee transit camp. Not long after the end of the war, the camp was shut down and the island was gazetted as a marine park by the Malaysian government. Officially “uninhabited,” it does boast a golf course, but we were unable to determine if it was still in operation. The most intriguing event on the island occurs in July when the giant leatherback turtles lay their eggs on a beach on Ta Ngah.

    1.Where is Langkawi?

    A．In Pulau Ta Ngah    B．In Malaysia         C．In the Atlantic Ocean D．In The Arctic

    2.We know from the passage Langkawi________.

    A．has become prosperous in the past decade

    B．was a noisy industrial city twenty years ago

    C．has no three-star hotels nowadays

    D．is best known for its horse riding races

    3.S/V Blue Gold is __________.

    A．a small island with most beautiful sceneries we have ever seen

    B．a luxurious 6-star hotel with best food and service

    C．a VIP cabin with 9 queen-size beds and ensuite bathrooms

    D．a splendid boat with comfortable accommodations

    4.It is implied that _________.

    A．many people go golfing on Pulau Ta Ngah every year

    B．the Vietnamese War broke out in 1970

    C．the author liked the party and meal provided in the voyage

    D．people living on Pulau Ta Ngah must have earned a lot of money

    5.The article is probably part of __________.

    A．a news report      B．a travel story       C．an advertisement    D．an operating manual

    After a year of preparing herself, Laura Dekker has been given permission to sail around the world. “I was so happy that I almost jumped into the river,” Laura said, after learning of the court’s verdict(判决).

    The 14-year-old was born on a ship in the South Pacific, and currently lives with her father on a boat. When child protection agencies heard about her plan to sail alone, they took the case to court and prevented her from making such a dangerous voyage.

    Since the decision, though, Laura had been preparing with her father to convince the court that she was ready. Later on, she received the books and other materials she would need for school while she was at sea. She added safety equipment to a new, big ship. And she took her first aid course to learn several survival skills, like how to put out fires on the boat, take care of her own injuries and deal with lack of sleep. She also planned a safer course --- adding alternate routes(备用路径) to avoid pirate attacks, and planning a course that would have her on dry land as she moved from port to port across the globe.

    Even with all of the added preparations, the trip still has its risks. In early June, 16-year-old Abby Sunderland, an American, had to abandon(放弃) her attempt to become the youngest sailor to travel around the world. Her ship’s mast(桅杆) broke due to rough waters in the Indian Ocean, and she was rescued by a French fishing ship.

    Laura plans to take longer than Abby for her voyage, and is using a larger and more stable boat. If she finished successfully in less than two years, she will take the title from current record-holder Jessica Watson, of Australia, who was 16 when she completed the journey.

     

    1.Which of the following is TRUE of Laura?

        A. She prepared the voyage at the age of 12.

        B. She lost her mother after she was born.

        C. She was allowed to sail around the world finally.

        D. She wanted to donate money made from the voyage.

    2.At first, child protection agencies were against Laura’s plan because ____.

        A. it was considered to be a dangerous trip

        B. Laura had to finish her schooling first

        C. it would cost Laura too much time and money

        D. Laura wasn’t prepared for the sailing alone

    3.What is Mr. Dekker’s attitude towards Laura’s trip?

        A. Doubtful     B. Supportive   C. Uncertain        D. Neutral(中立的)

    4.Paragraph 3 mainly talks about ____.

    A. how Laura convinced the court   

    B. why Laura needed to study at sea

    C. how Laura prepared for the voyage

    D. where Laura could avoid pirate attacks

    5. The person who keeps the record comes from ____.

        A. Holland  B. America  C. India        D. Australia

    Eric and Doris King Turner are packing their bags for New Zealand. They're busy deciding what to pack and what to leave behind in Britain and are making plans to extend their new home in Nelson. Doris is looking forward to getting the garden into shape and Eric has his heart set on a spot of fly fishing. The difference is that Eric is 102, Doris is 87. Eric thinks he's Britain's oldest emigrant.

    In January next year Eric King Turner and his wife of 12 years will wave goodbye to their neighbors, and set sail from Southampton on the voyage of a lifetime. The ocean liner (远洋客轮)Saga Rose will take six weeks to get to Auckland and the couple are expecting a red-carpet welcome from family.

Eric says, "We not only had to produce a marriage certificate（证书） but we had to produce evidence that we were in a long and stable relationship!" He also said he was not asked about his age but had to show that he could support himself financially (财政上) in New Zealand.

    "I like New Zealand. The way of life is very much the same as it is here but it is not so crowded." His wife has always been “a little bit homesick” but has never complained. Now the couple are in the middle of the task of sorting out possessions and selling their flat.

    A．lives in a country forever

    B．moves from one place to settle in another

    C．travels around the world

    D．visits many places in a country

    3.What makes the couple's move to New Zealand special?

    A．Their age.

    B．The red carpet.

    C．The ocean liner Saga Rose.
