Homestay provides English language students with 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 Centre as much of central London is commercial and not residential(居住的). 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(谷物類食品), 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 of their privacy. Self-Catering (自助的)Accommodation in Private Homes Accommodation on a room only basis includes shared kitchen and bathroom facilities 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. 21. The passage is probably written for________. A. hosts willing to receive foreign students B. foreigners hoping to build British culture C. English learners applying to live in English homes D. travelers planning to visit families in London 22. Which of the following will the host provide? A. Free transport. B. Medical care. C. Room cleaning. D. Physical training. 23. What can be inferred from Paragraph 3? A. Zone 4 is more crowded than Zone 2. B. The business center of London is in Zone 1. C. Hosts dislike travelling to the city center. D. Accommodation in the city center is not provided. 24. Why do some people choose self-catering accommodation? A. To enjoy much more freedom. B. To enrich their knowledge of English. C. To entertain friends as they like. D. To experience a warmer family atmosphere.
B.
Studies show that laughter is something that makes you feel calm or relaxed for both physical and psychological wounds though it may seem futile(無用的) to laugh in the face of pain and fear.
When Dan Rather interviewed comedian Bill Cosby just one week after his son, Ennis, was killed, Cosby said, “I think it is time for me to tell people that we have to laugh. You can turn painful situations around through laughter. If you can find humor in anything, you can survive it.”
Call it a flashlight for dark times: laughter just seems to adjust attitude better than anything else. Inspirational speaker Steve Rizzo recalls a TV interview with an injured firefighter a few days after 9.11.The man had fallen more than 30 stories in one of the towers and had broken a leg. Everyone was crying, and the reporter asked, “How is it that you’ve come out of this alive?” He looked at her and without missing a beat, said, “Look, lady, I’m from New York and I’m a firefighter; that’ all you need to know.”
“Everyone laughed and though the laughter was only a couple of seconds,” says Rizzo. “Sometimes that’s all you need to catch your second breath. Laughter gives you that couple
of seconds. You’re sending a message to your brain, and the message is: If you can still laugh even a little among the pain, you are going to be OK.”
Of course, there is a difference between laughing off a serious situation and laughing off the fear that results. The firefighter was doing the latter, states Rizzo, the author of Becoming a Humorous Being, and so should we. “If there is anything we have learnt from 9.11, it’s how precious life really is,” she says. “We have to send a message that our spirit won’t die. One important thing that unites us is our ability to laugh.”
25. The writer uses the examples of the comedian and the firefighter to show______.
A. it is your attitude that decides whether you can survive the pain or not
B. laughter is the best way to cure psychological wounds
C. laughter can make people feel calm or relaxed
D. laughter is a good way to get rid of pain and fear
26. We can infer from the passage that Steve Rizzo is __________.
A. a reporter B. a soldier C. a firefighter D. a doctor
27. From the passage, we can know that Americans are___________.
A. really happy after 9.11 B. greatly hurt by 9.11
C. nearly surprised by 9.11 D. hardly united after 9.11
C.
In my early 30s, I used an expired(過期的) student ID to buy discounted movie tickets. I’d tell myself, I’m buying a ticket I wouldn’t have otherwise bought. I think many people have done similar things ; however, we still think of ourselves as honest citizens. Researchers who study these behaviours believe that character isn’t the real reason. We might break the rules under some conditions and in some mind-sets , but not in others .
Years ago , Francesca Gino, a professor at Harvard , and Dan Ariely , a behavioural economist at Duke, wondered if people with highter IQs were more likely to cheat. They found that cleverness wasn’t closely connected to dishonesty , but creativity was. The more creative you are , the easier it is to retell the story of what happened when you behaved dishonestly .
Harvard University psychologist Joshua Greene argues in his book Moral Tribe that we may be born without having a clear sense of right and wrong, but our culture sharpens it . If your tribe downloads pirated(盜版)music , you’re likely to go with the flow.
Harvard researcher Leslie John , along with two colleagues conducted an experiment . They told volunteers that others in the room were making more money than they were for getting questions right on a test . Guess what happened ? That group, which considered itself disadvantaged, cheated more than those who believed that everyone received an equal payment.
The real threat is that rule breaking worsens over time . Behavioural psychology offers a few antidotes . Keep yourself fed and well-rested —we’re likelier to bebave badly when hungry or tied . Reflect on how your actions look through others’ eyes and see yourselves in a positive light. In a Stanford study, when researchers uesd the verb cheat —please don’t cheat — participants still cheated freely because they felt distanced (疏遠(yuǎn))from the act. When the noun was used —don’t be a cheater —hardly anyone did.
28. According to Francesca Gino , who are likeliest to break the rules in a company ?
A. Accountants. B. Designers C. Cleaners. D. Typists.
29. Why did volunteers in Leslie John’s experiment cheat more than others ?
A. Because they were not as smart as others .
B. Because they thought others cheated too.
C. Because they felt a sense of unfairness.
D. Because they were tired and hungry.
30. The underlined word “antidotes ” in the last paragraph canbe replaced by _____.
A. explanations . B. solutions C. studies D. novels.
31. What’s the best title for the text ?
A. Why people break the rules.
B. How people break the rules .
C. The influence of breaking the rules.
D. Different ways of breaking the rules.
D.
We all have our ways of marking time. My life is measured by taking pictures from one story to the next. My oldest son was born in the middle of a long story about endangered animals. My daughter came along with a pack of gray wolves.
It's the story in Alaska that I'll remember best，though. It was the story about the loss of wild land，during which my wife Kathy got cancer. That's the one that made time stand still. With anxiety，I stopped taking pictures on the day when she found that tumor (腫瘤).Cruelly，it was Thanksgiving Day. Early examination saves time. But ours was not early. By the time you can feel it yourself，it's often bigger than the doctor wants it to be.
Cancer is a thief. It steals time. Our days are already short with worry. Then comes this terrible disease，unfair as storm at harvest time. But cancer also has the power to change us，for good. We learn to simplify it，enjoying what we have instead of feeling sorry for what we don't. Cancer even makes me a better father. My work has made me a stranger to my three kids. But now I pay attention to what really matters. This is a new way of life and a new way of seeing，all from the cancer.
In the end each of us has so little time. We have less of it than we can possibly imagine. And even though it turns out that Kathy's cancer has not spread，and her prognosis (預(yù)斷) is good. We try to make it all count(重要) now，enjoying every part of every day.
I've picked up my camera again. I watch the sky，searching for beautiful light. When winter storms come，Kathy and I gather our children and take the time to catch snowflakes (雪花) on our tongues. After all，this is good. This is what we're living for.
32.What is the writer?
A.A sponsor. B. A photographer. C.A doctor. D.A director.
33.How did the writer feel after knowing Kathy's disease?
A.Anxious. B.Innocent. C.Powerful. D.Optimistic.
34.What effect has the cancer had on the author?
A.He focuses much more on his work. B.He spends more time with his family.
C.He becomes a stranger to his children. D.He devotes much more to medical care.
35.What can be inferred from the passage?
A.Cancer steals time.
B.Kathy's cancer has spread.
C.The author takes a different way of life.
D.Snowflakes make the family feel cool.
第二節(jié)(共5小題;毎小題2分，滿分10分)
Everyone is forgetful, but as we age, we start to feel like our brains are slowing down a bit — and that can be a very annoying thing._____36_____Read on for some techniques worth trying. 1.______37______ People who regularly made plans and looked forward to upcoming events had a 50 percent reduced chance of Alzheimer's disease (早老性癡呆癥), according to a recent study.______38_______Something as simple as setting a goal to have a weekly coffee date with a friend will do. There's evidence that people who have a purpose in life or who are working on long or short-term goals appear to do better. In other words, keep your brain looking forward. 2. Go for a walk. Mildly raised glucose (葡萄糖) levels can harm the area of the brain that helps you form memories and physical activity can help get blood glucose down to normal levels. In fact, exercise produces chemicals that are good for your brain._______39_______ 3. Learn something new. Take a Spanish class online, join a drawing club, or learn to play cards. A study found that mental stimulation (刺激) limits the weakening effects of aging on memory and the mind. But the best thing for your brain is when you learn something new and are physically active at the same time. _____40______Or go dancing with your friends. A. Focus on the future. B. This can be especially harmful to the aged. C. It should be something like learning gardening. D. So take a few minutes each day to do some reading. E. But don't worry if your schedule isn't filled with life-changing events. F. Luckily, research shows there is a lot you can do to avoid those moments. G. In other words, when you take care of your body, you take care of your brain.
