Attention, please! Sunshine Language Learning Centre will set a course and it will teach pure (纯
正的 ) British English. Maybe you’ve known some British expressions are quite different from
American ones. British people use “autumn” for “fall”, “film” for “movie”, “holiday” for “vocation”
and “garden” for “yard”, etc.
There are more typical (典型的) expressions that you may not know. Here are Mr Bean’s
examples.
“Cheers” or “Thanks”
British people use “Cheers” much more often than
“Thanks”. “Cheers” is often used by them in daily
informal conversations for small favours (帮助),
such as opening doors for others, lending
somebody a pen, showing strangers ways, …
“Present Perfect Tense” or

“Simple Past Tense”
It’s more common to hear the British say “Have
you done your work?” than “Did you do your
work?” They prefer preset perfect tense to simple
past tense
… …
Are you interested in it? Do you want to learn? You can learn British English well if you put much
effort into it. We have some native British English teachers with much experience to help you. The
course will be open in the coming summer holiday. The price of the course is not very high: ￥500 for

For many Chinese, winter holiday season doesn’t seem complete without the CCTV Spring
Festival Gala. But it’s impossible to satisfy all 1.3 billion Chinese.
Even if you, especially young audience (观众) complain about the Spring Festival Gala, watching
英语试卷 第 3 页 (共 8 页)

it while having Lunar New Year’s Eve dinner has become a common
way for families to get together. It’s much more than just a TV
program, it’s also a way to bring family members together and get
them talking during the holiday. Think about how you’ll watch the
gala and discover its fun.
1. Share your opinions (观点) about the programs and artists
with your family members. Introduce artists who the young people enjoy to the elderly members of
your family, such as “fellow brothers” William Chan, or former (以前的) singing group EXO members
Kris and Lu Han.
2. Post your compliments and complaints on micro blogs and WeChat moments to share with
friends. Then they will know what you are satisfied with and what you complain about. In recent years,
the gala is trying to attract young people by using internet slang (俚语). Guessing when and what
Internet chat lingo (术语) will be mentioned in the show is surely going to be hot on social media. Will
there be “drunk and tired” (也是醉了 )? Have a bet with friends.
3. Online video websites such as IQiyi and Youku have introduced a real-time online discussion
system. All comments (评论) are displayed on the screen. You can try watching the show in this
interactive (互动的) way instead of the traditional TV sets so that you may know others’ opinions about
the program in the Spring Festival Gala.

C. several ways for audience to discover the fun of the Spring Festival Gala
D. the Spring Festival Gala is the best way to bring family members together
C
It is believed in some ways that the daughter is father’s lover. But my experience has taught me in
a different way. For a long time, my father has been a very vague figure (模糊印象) to me. He was a
man of few words, tall but slim and nothing else.
When I was in primary school, my father was never there to pick me up, and he never came to any
of my parent-teacher meetings. He was always busy doing projects. I remember when I was in middle
school and my head was badly hurt in a PE class. During my operation, my father was nowhere to be
found. This hurt me most. At that moment, I considered my father as a cold blood man who did not care
me at all.
But things seemed different at my high school graduation ceremony, where I was chosen to
represent my class and give a speech. My father, once again, told me he had a business trip in a place
outside the city and would be unable to show up (露面) “Don’t come. I will be very nervous if I see
you,” I told him.

英语试卷 第 5 页 (共 8 页)
I remembered my speech went smoothly. After the ceremony was over and I was about to leave, I
suddenly noticed a familiar (熟悉的) looking man sitting in a corner of the hall. It was my father! I was
so surprised that I rushed into him with tears (眼泪) running down my face. “Well done,” he said. His
eyes were also filled with tears.
Later, I found out that my father had managed to finish his work by staying up late, and he drove
for eight hours to get back. He had been sitting in the corner because he didn’t want me to see him. My
father remembered every word in my speech.
For much of my life, I described my father was a cold-blooded man who only cared about his
work. But when I thought deeply of this, it is obviously (明显地) not true. At my graduation ceremony,
I could feel my father’s deep love. The fact is that seeing is not believing, and seeing may not be the
fact if we don’t perceive (感知) the world with our hearts and minds. There’s no doubt that life doesn’t
lack (缺少) love, but sometimes our eyes have trouble seeing it.
32. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The writer’s father was in the hospital during her operation.
B. The writer’s father attended her high school graduation ceremony.
C. The writer’s father sometimes picked up when she was in primary school.
D. The writer’s father went to parent-teacher meetings when she was in primary school.
33. The writer rushed to her father with tears running down her face mainly because ▲ .
A. she gave a speech successfully
B. the graduation ceremony was over
C. she was so nervous that she couldn’t help crying
D. She was touched to find her father cared about her
34. What does the underlined word “this” in the last paragraph refer to (指代)?
A. That my father was always doing projects.
B. That my father was a cold-blooded man.
C. That my father sat in the corner of the hall.
D. That my father’s eyes were filled with tears.
35. What’s best title of the passage?
A. My father B. Life is full of love
C. Seeing is not believing D. A wonderful speech
