第二部分 阅读理解（满分20分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
I moved from the busy downtown to the countryside around Shanghai when I started elementary school. At first, I thought I was going to hate it, but to my surprise, I found that I preferred the quiet country life over the noisy city life.
The next move was more of a surprise for me. I was having a good time with my friends at school. But all of a sudden, my mom told me that we were going to move to the United States. Can you imagine how I must have felt ?My English wasn’t that good, though I did know the basics.
The day I arrived in the US was a snowy day. For a girl who grew up in Shanghai and hadn’t seen real thick snow on the ground, it was a big thing. Compared with my school in China, there were a lot more creative thinking questions, which I was better at anyway.
Time flew by and it had been almost four years since I moved. Then again, I was told we were going to move to Singapore.
As I’m writing this article, I am still new here and have been going to school for about two and a half months. I found out that the education here is quite special. Different from AP system in the US, the Singapore CIS uses the IB system.
This switch drowned me in constant stress. I was confused about the new curriculum, and I knew it would take me a long time to adapt. But what I’ve gotten out of my experience over three countries is that no matter where you are studying, you are always learning. And a piece of advice to people who are going to move around the globe: It’s always best to just roll with it.
1、What did the writer think of life in the countryside?
A．It wasn’t as interesting as she expected.
B．It was no better than city life.
C．She wished she had moved to the countryside earlier.
D．She loved to live in the countryside.
2、What did the writer worry about most about before moving to the US?
A．It would be difficult to make new friends.
B．Language would be a big problem for her.
C．She wouldn’t get used to the weather there.
D．She wouldn’t like the schools there.
3、What does she say about her school life in Singapore?
A．Creative thinking is more common.
B．Students are asked to do many projects together.
C．Students have more freedom to choose classes than in the US.
D．It is different from the US school system.
4、What is the writer’s attitude towards her worldwide schooling?
A．Positive. B．Negative.
C．Critical. D．Doubtful.

B
Britons are increasingly entertaining guests at home with dinner, film and karaoke nights, inspired by television shows on cookery (烹饪术) and home entertainment, according to a survey.
More than half (53 percent) of the respondents to a poll (民意测验) of 1,000 Britons across the country said they now prefer to spend quality time with family and friends by inviting them over to their homes rather than meeting in bars and restaurants, the survey by mobile phone operator T-Mobile showed.
Popular television shows such as “Come Dine With Me,” where amateur chefs attempt to wow the audience with their culinary (烹调的) skills, “Master Chef” where ordinary people compete to cook to Michelin standards (米其林餐厅评分标准) and a number of celebrity cookery shows have inspired Britons to entertain at home.
The poll showed that nearly a third of respondents had spent money on home entertainment improvements such as sofas, dining tables and bigger televisions to impress the guests.
“Over the last couple of years, my clients have increasingly asked for home parties rather than ones at independent places,” party planning expert Liz Brewer said in a statement accompanying the poll’s results.
“This is not only due to a slowing of economic activity but because many have become increasingly house-proud and eager to show off their cooking skills, in addition to their latest home entertainment purchases.”
Celebrity chef Jamie Oliver was the top choice for dream host of respondents, while Prime Minister Gordon Brown was one of the least favored, alongside Conservative leader David Cameron.
1、Britons’ interest in entertaining guests at home is growing because of the impact of .
A．Michelin standards B．television programs
C．fast economic development D．mobile phone operator T-Mobile
2、The underlined word “wow” in Paragraph 3 probably means “ ”.
A．fill B．compare
C．impress D．associate
3、To entertain guests at home, the hosts have to .
a. purchase certain furniture
b. improve their cooking skills
c. consult a party planning expert first
d. ask some professional chefs to help
A．a and b B．c and d
C．a and d D．b and c
4、What can be learned from the passage?
A．The service of most British restaurants is not satisfactory.
B．Politicians are the top choice for dream host of respondents.
C．Two thirds of Britons are willing to entertain guests at home.
D．Entertaining guests at home will strengthen the relationships.

Last week, our school organized an activity aiming at helping the children in poor areas realize their dream for reading. All of us take an active part. Our donations covered the books, pens, school bags and many other school supplies. Some of us even contributed our pocket changes for the children to buy whatever they need. In addition to these, many of us advocated that we did not hesitate to contact the children in rural areas direct to find out their needs. They thought that by this means could we quickly help them out but make our dreams come true.
I think the activity is very meaningful, which will help improve our learning conditions. In turn, they will bring hope for a better future to a community of need.
