Today, millions of people want to learn or improve their English, but ‘it’ is difficult to find the best method. Is it better to study in Britain or America or to study in your own country?
The advantages of going to Britain seem obvious. Firstly, you will be able to listen to the language all the time you are in the country. You will be surrounded completely by the language wherever you go. Another advantage is that you have to speak the language if you are with other people.
On the other hand,                of staying at home to study. You don’t have to make big changes to your life. As well as this,it is also a lot cheaper than going to Britain.
So I think that if you have enough time and enough money, the best choice is to spend some time in the UK. But this is not possible for most people, so the most important thing to do in this situation is to catch your opportunities: to speak only English in class and to try to use English whenever possible outside the class.

A Bite of China, featuring delicious Chinese food, has attracted countless viewers, and moved many to tears.
A Bite of China is a serious documentary providing a unique view of Chinese as well as the relations between people and food and between people and society from the view of food. The touching documentary reminds some people of their mother, and makes some realize that every grain comes from hard and laborious work. Some people see patriotism(爱国精神) in the documentary, and some consider it a great cultural export.
How did this documentary achieve a great influence beyond its subject matter in such a short time?
“It is not empty propaganda(宣传) about China’s splendid food culture. Instead, it shows the techniques used in making food and their production process as well as the lives of ordinary people, thus striking a chord(共鸣) with the audience,” an Internet user said. The success of the documentary should be owed to sincerity and reality. Nowadays, many works of art that have high investment, high technology, and magnificent scenes lack nothing but sincerity and reality.
A Bite of China shows that a commercial documentary promoting patriotism can be full of touching details, that the emotions of ordinary Chinese people should be exhibited even in publicizing(宣传) China overseas, and that even a completely commercial program can achieve both artistic and commercial success.
“We made this documentary with our respect and love for food,” said director Chen Xiaoqing. Being sincere is the most important thing for artists because they cannot move others unless they themselves are first moved, and cannot convince others unless they themselves are first convinced. Sincerity is the “secret” for making this documentary so popular, and every cultural creator should learn from its success.
According to the passage, A Bite of China is _______.

A．a book	B．a film
C．a newspaper	D．a TV program

What can you find in A Bite of China?

A．Relations between people and food.

B．Real lives of all Chinese people.

C．Patriotic stories of Chinese people.

D．processes of preparing food.

From the passage, it can be inferred that ________.

A．The documentary is so successful that no one can surpass (超越) it.

B．Different people can get different messages from the documentary.

C．The documentary should have shown China’s splendid food culture.

D．Many art works fail to reflect (反映) reality and high technology.

The main idea of the last paragraph is that ________.

A．Director’s respect and love for food.

B．The secret of the documentary’s success.

C．The influence of the documentary.

D．The popularity of the documentary.

Many people turn to doctors or self-help books, but they ignore a powerful thing that could help them fight illness: their friends.
Researchers are only now starting to pay attention to the importance of friendship in health. A 10-year Australian study found that old People with a large circle of friends. A large 2007 study showed an increase of nearly 60 percent in the risk （危险） for obesity （肥胖） among people whose friends gained weight. And last year, Harvard researchers reported that strong social ties could improve brain health as we age.
“In general, the role of friendship in our lives isn’t well realized,” said Rebecca, a professor at the University of North Carolina. “Friendship has a bigger effect on our psychological （心理的） health than family relationships. ”
While many friendship studies are about the close relationships of women, some research shows that it can do good to men too. In a six-year study of 736 middle-aged men, having friendships reduces the risk of heart attack. Only smoking was as important a risk factor （因素） as having little social support.
Exactly why friendship has such a big effect isn’t entirely clear. While friends can send a sick person to the hospital or pick up medicine, the advantages go well beyond physical help. Friendship clearly has a big psychological effect. “People with stronger friendships feel like there is someone they can turn to,” said Karen, a doctor. “The message of these studies is that friends make your life better. ”
The three studies in paragraph2 show that               .

A．old people need friends the most.

Christian Eijkman, a Dutch doctor, left the Netherlands for the island of Java. Many people on the island had a disease called beri-beri. He was going there to try and find a cure.
At first, Eijkman thought some kind of germ (细菌) caused beri-beri. He raised some chickens. He didn’t eat them, but made experiments on them. The local people were quite surprised at that. One day he noticed that his chickens became sick when they were fed the food most Javanese ate — refined white rice (精炼米). When he fed them with unrefined rice, also known as brown rice, they recovered. Eijkman realized that he had made an important discovery — that some things in food could prevent disease. These things were named vitamins (维生素). The Javanese were not getting enough vitamins because they had actually removed the part that contains vitamins. Later, other diseases were also found to be caused by the lack of vitamins in a person’s food.

Dinner customs (风俗) are different around the world. If you are a dinner guest (客人) in Ghana(非洲的加纳), this information will help you.
In Ghana, dinner is usually from four in the afternoon to six in the evening. But there are no strict rules about time in Ghana. Whenever a guest arrives, a family offers food.
When you go to a home, the host takes you to the living room first. At this time everyone welcomes you. Then you go to the dinner room. There you wash your hands in a bowl of water. All the food is on the table.
In Ghana you usually eat with your fingers. You eat from the same dish as everyone else. But you eat from one side of the dish only. It is not polite to get food from the other side of the dish. After dinner, you wash your hands again in a bowl of water.
Most meals in Ghana have a dish called fufu. People in Ghana make fufu from the powder（粉末） of some plants. Sometimes they cut the fufu with a saw（锯） because it is very hard and like rubber（橡胶）. You must chew fufu well, or you can get sick. You eat fufu with fingers of your right hand only.

Let’s say a person gets up at 7:00 in the morning and goes to bed at 11:00 at night. He comes home from work about 6:30, and by the time he has finished with dinner it is after 8:00. He steps outside in the summer to relax — but it’s already getting dark! Not much time to enjoy the summer day.
Now suppose you set the clock ahead one hour. This person still does everything at the same time — but this time, when he steps out at 8:00 there’s still plenty of light to enjoy. An hour of daylight has been “saved” for him!
Daylight saving time doesn’t, of course, add any hours to a day. This is impossible. All it does is to increase the number of useful hours of daylight during the seasons when the sun rises early.
Daylight saving is most popular in cities. It allows the closing of offices, shops, and factories at the end of the working day while the sun is still high. Farmers, who do their work by sun time, usually do not observe daylight saving time. They cannot work in the field before the morning dew(露水) has dried or after it appears in the evening.
Did you know who first thought of daylight saving time? It was Benjamin Franklin! When he was living in France in the 18th century, he suggested the idea to the people in Paris. But it was not adopted then.
Daylight saving laws were first passed during World WarⅠ, when materials for making electricity was hard to find, and when it was necessary to save on artificial light. With daylight saving, the bedtime of many people comes soon after it gets dark, while without it, if people stay up until the same hour they may have to use artificial light.
Germany was the first country to adopt daylight saving time in 1915. Then England used it in 1916, and the United States adopted it in 1918.
What does the underlined word “artificial” mean?

A．natural	B．man-made
C．bright	D．sun

What’s the purpose of adopting daylight saving time?

A．To have more artificial light.

B．To have one more hour to work.

C．To make better use of daylight in certain seasons.

D．To have one more hour to rest.

Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A．Once the idea of daylight saving time is proposed, it was adopted.

B．The idea of daylight saving time went through a long process of being adopted.

C．It was a French scientist that put forward the idea of daylight saving time.

D．The idea of daylight saving time didn’t make any difference at all.

What can be inferred from the passage?

A．Winter is a good season for daylight saving time.

B．Daylight saving time is especially good for wars.

C．Daylight saving time is good for anyone in any places.

D．Not all seasons are good for daylight saving time.

Five boys are suspected of starting a fire that destroyed their school on the eve of the new term. Police said yesterday that five boys — one aged 11, two 12-year-olds, one aged 13 and one 15 — arrested on suspicion of starting the fire had been released until later this month. Parents said the five pupils all attended St Mary’s.
Pupils witnessed their schoolwork being destroyed in the fire at Leyland St Mary’s Catholic Technology College in Lancashire. The 1950s science block was reduced to the ground in Sunday’s fire, which created clouds of smoke visible for miles. It is reported that the library and sports hall were also destroyed beyond repair. Strong winds and a shortage of water prevented 125 firemen trying to bring it under control. Firefighters were expected to remain at the scene until late this afternoon. Staffs were due to attend the school yesterday for an inset(培训)day, and pupils pupils were to return for lessons after the holidays today.
St Mary’s head teacher Kathy McNicholas fought back the tears as she watched her school go up in flames last night. She said, “This is so upsetting to watch. It’s heartbreaking. It’s very distressing for the staff and the children. Everyone had been looking forward to coming back for the new school year.” Finding somewhere around 730 children won’t be easy. A few of the staff have turned up to see if there is anything they can do and they have all been shocked and saddened by what has happened. “It’s tragic because we have only just had a lot of refreshment work done to the school during the summer break. It was a big investment. The community around here very much looks after its school.”
Plans were being drawn up to provide alternative classrooms for 730 children, with parents warned to keep them at home for at least the rest of the week.
Which part of St Mary’s Catholic Technology College was burned to the ground in the fire?

A．The library.	B．Sports hall.
C．The science block.	D．The passage doesn’t tell us.

B．St Mary’s Catholic Technology College had no trouble finding enough classrooms

C．a shortage of money prevented more than 100 firemen controlling the big fire

D．the pupils had to stay at home before the alternative classrooms were found

What’s the main idea of the passage?

A．Five boys started a fire that destroyed their school.

B．The firemen failed in controlling the fire.

C．The staff and the children were upset.

D．The school planned to take measures to solve the problem.

Your best friend is possibly the most important person in your life. But sometimes friendship’s road is not always smooth, or it’s a total dead end. What do you do when this happens?
Scenario(设想) 1: Drifting Apart(渐行渐远)
You’ve found that your friend no longer wants to jog (慢跑)with you. She’d rather hit the chat rooms, or she’s become crazy about hanging with her new interest.
It’s a bummer when old friends start having less in common. But it might still be worth trying to get into your friend’s new interest, trying something new on your own, or meet some new folks who like doing the things you enjoy. Another thing to try is talking to your friend about it- in a non-this-is-your-fault(过错) way. The goal is telling how you feel, not “winning”.
Scenario 2: Fights
“Yes, he is.” “No, he isn’t.” the argument could continue forever.
No matter how sure you are that you’re right, friendship is based on RESPECT. Since you and your friend aren’t clones(克隆), you will disagree sometimes! Is it worth fighting over? If it is trivial(无价值的), why not give it up? Agree to disagree(保留不同意见) and get on well with life. Even if you’ll never agree, try to see the other person’s viewpoint. At least honor his right to have his own opinions. Never get physical. Violence can make a small problem into a disaster.
Scenario 3: End of the Road
Is the friendship over? If you are not the one ending it, it feels as if a knife cut your heart into pieces. But the thing is that you can’t force someone to be your friend. Give yourself time. But don’t freeze in a looking-back, holding pattern(模式). Be open to new friendship. You never know when the “best friend forever” will come along.
The underlined word “bummer” in the third paragraph can be replaced by “________ thing”.

A．normal	B．common
C．unpleased	D．guilty（负疚的）

You are advised not  ______ when your friend reduced communication with you.

A．develop the same interest as our friend does

B．blame（责怪） your friend for not being as friendly to you as before

C．give in to the friend who has hurt your feeling deeply

D．stick to the friendship that was built up in the past

In the writer’s opinion, showing disagreement ______________.

A．will surely lead to the end of a long friendship

B．shows that you don’t respect your friend

C．is natural and normal behavior of human being

D．means you have nothing in common with your friend.

My mother is a diligent and kind woman. She is very busy from morning till night. As a teacher, she works hard.     Both my brother and I love her dearly as she loves us.
My mother has been teaching math at a middle school in my hometown. She goes to work early in the morning and does not return home until late in the afternoon.    She treats them with patience and teaches them well. For her excellent quality and very good teaching results, she has been elected as a model teacher several times.
 Every day, when she comes back home from work, she sets about doing housework, sweeping the living room and bedrooms or cleaning the furniture, and putting everything in good order. She seems to be busy all the time. As she has been very busy working every day, she looks older than her age. But she looks as cheerful and happy as ever. Mother never buys expensive dresses for herself, but she often buys some inexpensive but high quality clothes for us.   She just eats a plain meal outside when she is too busy to cook herself. She lives a busy yet simple life, without any complaints.
Often she says to us, “work while you work, and play while you play. That is the way to be happy and gay. If you do not work, you will become lazy and be of no use to society”. What a piece of good advice this is!    This advice of hers will always serve as a guide to my behavior. My mother is great indeed, and I always feel proud of her.

A．She enjoys listening to classic music.

B．As a mother, she takes good care of us and gives us every comfort.

C．She loves her students and cares for them.

D．She never goes to expensive restaurants to enjoy meals.

E. My mother is hard-working and never wastes money.

A．Means of ewaste recycling B．How ewaste comes into being C．The benefit of ewaste recycling D．The technologies of ewaste recycling E．The importance of the electronic waste recycle F．Modern technology brings convenience and ewaste

        
Modern technology does bring us many conveniences（便利），from WiFi（无线网络）enabled cell phones and ever smaller laptop computers that make entire lives easy to energy efficient washers that use half the power and time to complete their tasks. However，these new toys and equipment finally become electronic waste （ 电子垃圾）（e waste）once they are out of use.
        
E waste includes everything from empty printer ink containers to broken refrigerators. As people buy new items to replace aging electronics or make upgrades（升级），more electronic waste comes into being. In some cases，such as 2009's switch from analog（模拟）to digital television broadcasting in the United States，changes in technology are so great that old equipment may not even work at all with new systems.
        
There are many reasons why it is important to recycle electronic waste. Much of the material used to construct electronics，including metal and plastic parts，can be recycled into new items at a discount of the cost and energy use needed to create things from new raw materials（原材料）. Additionally，many electronics contain poisonous substances （有毒物质）that are harmful to the environment and could be deadly if they go into an area's groundwater. When properly recycled，they can be reused and will not do harm to the environment. Because of these environmental concerns，many areas require by law that electronic waste be properly recycled.
        
The availability（可用性）of ewaste recycling programs varies from place to place. In some areas，annual collections are held once or twice a year as a means of dealing with ewaste as well as used engine oil or other waste that is harmful to the environment. There are also some good alternatives （替代品） to recycling your ewaste. Any items that are in working condition can be given to friends or donated to charities（慈善机构）like Goodwill or the Salvation Army，who rely heavily on donations （ 捐赠） . Freecycling ，or passing on your unwanted items to those in need of them，is also a means of finding new homes for used items.
        
Ewaste recycling helps protect the environment by reducing the amount of poisonous materials placed in landfills（垃圾场）and saving recyclable parts to save energy and other resources. Recycling is a way of life. Stick to that choice every single day and recycling will become second nature to us.

    Do you scream on a roller coaster ride? You slowly climb up a steep slope until an almost vertical(垂直的) drop, and then... Ahhhhhhhh! Thrill-seekers like me are in luck because theme parks are pushing the boundaries of technology to create the fastest, tallest, scariest roller coasters the world has ever known.
Alton Towers in Britain opened the world's first 14-1oop roller coaster a few months ago, called The Smiler. Over in Abu Dhabi, Ferrari World claims to have the world's fastest one. Ferrari World's Formula Rossa ride sends out passengers from 0-240km/h in just 4. 9 seconds. During this rapid acceleration they experience G-forces only fighter pilots usually  feel: Up to 4. 8G. The designer of several rides at Alton Towers, said: "While we can stand 6-8Gs for very short periods of  time, ff we experience 5G for more than five seconds we're likely to "black out."
On modern roller coasters passengers experience about 3G in tight turns and loops. But while we may have reached the limit in terms of G-forces, there is no technological limit to how fast or how high roller coasters can go---it's all down to money. Alton Towers' The Smiler cost ~18m to build.
Some companies are finding other ways to keep us amused. There's a move towards indoor rides where the experience is improved by audio-visual technologies. For example, a company called Dynamic Structures is currently developing a "coal-mine-themed" ride for a client in Dubai that will combine speed and G-forces with 3D projection effects and robotics, which will trick your brain into thinking you're really falling.
I can't wait to enjoy this one. What about you: Do you like being upside down?
The underlined phrase "black out" in the second paragraph probably means  ....  .

A．stop breathing	B．lose consciousness for a short time
C．lose memory forever	D．bleed to death

We can learn from the passage that __

A．all the theme parks are creating the fast roller coasters

B．the Smiler sends out passengers from 0-240km/h in just 4.9 seconds

C．it is unusual for fighter pilots to feel up to 4.8G

D．the more the money is spent, the faster the roller coaster can go

The feature of the "coal-mine-themed" ride is

A．3Dtechnologies

B．indoor rides

C．G-forces

D．dynamic structures

What is the best title for the passage?

A．The Fastest Roller Coaster	B．The Smiler and G-forces
C．Screaming for Fun	D．The New Technology
