Passage 1
There was once an ant that was very thirsty. It ran here and there looking for some water but could not find any. Then suddenly, when the ant was almost ready to die of thirst, a large drop of water fell on it. The ant drank the water, which saved its life. The water was actually a tear from a young girl who was crying. Because of her sadness, the tear had magical qualities and suddenly the ant could speak the language of human beings. The ant looked up and saw the young girl sitting in front of a huge pile of seeds. “Why are you sad?” asked the ant.
“I’m the prisoner of the giant,” the girl told the ant. “He won’t let me go until I’ve made three separate heaps of grain, barley (大麦) and rye（黑麦）out of this huge pile of seeds in which they are all mixed together.”
“That will take you a month!” the ant said, looking at the huge pile of seeds.
“I know,” the girl cried, “and if I haven’t finished by tomorrow, the giant will eat me for his supper!”
“Don’t cry,” the ant said, “my friends and I will help you.”
Soon thousands of ants were at work, separating the three kinds of seeds.
The next morning, when the giant saw that the work had been done, he let the girl go.
Thus it was one of her tears that saved her life.

6. What is an ant?
A. A small animal. B. An insect. C. A bird D. A giant
7. When did the drop of water fall on the ant?
A. When it was looking for food. B. When it saved the ant’s life.

8. Why was the young girl crying?
A. Because of her sadness B. Because she saw the ant
C. Because the giant would let her go D. Because the giant had given her an impossible job to do.
9. What would the giant do if the girl failed to do the work?
A. He would eat her B. He would let her go
C. He would take her away D. He would send her to prison
10. Who or what saved the girl’s life?
A. The giant. B The ant. C. The ant’s friends D. Her tears.

Passage 2
Places to stay in Britain are as varied as the places you visit. Whatever your budget is, the choice—from basic barn to small hotel, from tiny cottage to grand castle—is all part of fun.
Hostels
Cheap, good-value hostels are aimed at all types of like-minded travelers, who prefer value over luxury and you don’t have to be young or single to use them. Britain’s independent hostels and backpackers hostels also offer a great welcome. Facilities and prices vary, especially in rural areas, where some hostels are a little more than a bunkhouse(临时住房) while others are remarkably comfortable – almost like bargain hotels.
Youth hotels
Founded many years ago to “help all, especially young people of limited means, to a greater knowledge, love and care of the countryside”, the Youth Hotels Association is still going strong in the 21st century. The network of 230 hotels is a perfect gateway for exploring Britain’s towns and countryside.
B&Bs
The B&B (bed and breakfast) is a great British institution. In essence you get a room in somebody’s house, and small B&Bs may only have one guest room, so you’ll really feel like part of the family. Larger B&Bs may have four or five rooms and more facilities, but just as warm as a welcome.
In country areas your B&B might be in a village or an isolated farm surrounded by fields. Prices reflect facilities: and usually run from around ￡12 to ￡20 per person. City B&Bs charge about ￡25 to ￡30 per person, although they’re often cheaper as you go further out to the suburbs.
Pubs & Inns
As well as selling drinks and meals, Britain’s pubs and inns sometimes offer B&B, particularly in country areas. Staying a night or two can be great fun and puts you at the heart of the local community.
Rates range from around ￡15 to ￡25 per person. Pubs are more likely to have single rooms.
11. In this passage the author mainly _________.
A. tells us where to stay while visiting Britain B. advises readers to pay a visit to Britain
C. introduces the wonderful public services in Britain D. gives us some information about British life
12. ___________ are mainly built for young visitors.
A. Pubs & Inns B. Youth Hotels C. Hostels D. B&Bs
13. If you travel alone and want to know better about family life in Britain, you’d better stay in ______.
A. Pubs & Inns B. Youth Hotels C Hostels D. B&Bs
14. If you are interested in traveling with your friends but only with limited means, where is the better place for you to stay? _________.
A. Pubs & Inns B. Youth Hotels C. Hostels D. B&Bs
15. Which of the following is NOT true according to the last part of the passage?_
A. Pubs and inns usually provide visitors bed and breakfast.
B. All pubs and inns offer visitors bed and breakfast.
C. Pubs and inns charge a visitor ￡25 at the most.
D. If you want a single room, you are more likely to get one in pubs.

Which means of transportation do you prefer?
内容需涉及以下方面：
1. 哪一种是你最喜欢的交通方式
2. 阐述你的理由
3. 做出结论

Which means of transportation do you prefer?
Which kind of public transportation do I prefer? Well, let me tell you something about it. As far as I am concerned, I like to take train best.
There are three reasons for my choice. Firstly, taking train is the cheapest way for traveling, which costs much less than using airplane and private cars. Secondly, taking train is the safest way for traveling, which causes much less traffic accidents than any other means of transportation. Thirdly, taking train is the most convenient way for traveling, which saves you a lot of troubles of parking or going to the airport, as you can go to the railway station more easily. But it takes the longest time for traveling, sometimes it is very difficult for you to get the ticket.
Anyway, I like traveling in my own way and take train as the means of transportation.

Passage 1
There were once many sheiks (阿拉伯的酋长) who wanted to marry Queen Maura, for she was one of the most beautiful and powerful queens of Arabia.
However, she did not like most of the sheiks, and soon there were only three left on her list of possible husbands. These three sheiks were all equally young and handsome, rich and strong. It was hard for the Queen to choose the best one.
One evening, she disguised herself and went to where the three sheiks were having their evening meal. She asked them to give her something to eat.
The first sheik gave her some stale (不新鲜的) food left over from the day before.
The second sheik gave her a tough piece of old camel’s tail.
The third sheik, whose name was Hakim, gave her some of the most tender (嫩的) and tasty meat.
The next day, she invited the three sheiks to dinner at her palace. She told her servants to give each sheik what he had given her the evening before. Hakim, who received a plate of tender and tasty meat, would not eat it unless the other two sheiks could share it with him.
Queen Maura was certain which of the sheiks she wanted to marry.

Passage 2
A foreigner’s first impression of the U.S. is likely to be that everyone is in a rush—often under pressure. City people appear always to be hurrying to get where they are going，restlessly, seeking attention in a store, and elbowing others as they try to complete their tasks. Racing through daytime meals is part of the pace of life in this country.
Working time is considered precious. Others in public eating places are waiting for you to finish so that they too can be served and get back to work within the time allowed. Each person hurries to make room for the next person. If you don’t, waiters will hurry you.
You also find drivers will be abrupt and that people will push past you. You will miss smiles, brief conversations, and small courtesies with strangers. Don’t take it personally. This is because people value time highly, and resent someone else “wasting” it beyond a certain courtesy point.
The view of time affects the importance we attach to patience. In the American system of values, patience is not a high priority. Many of us have what might be called “a short fuse.” We begin to move restlessly about if we feel time is slipping away without some return, be this in terms of pleasure, work value, or rest. Those coming from lands where time is looked upon differently may find this matter of pace to be one of their most difficult adjustments in both business and daily life.
Many newcomers to the States will miss the opening courtesy of a business call, for example. They will miss the ritual socializing that goes with a welcoming cup of tea or coffee that may be traditional in their own country. They may miss leisurely business chats in a café or coffeehouse. Normally, Americans do not assess their visitors in such relaxed surroundings over prolonged small talks. We seek out evidence of past performance rather than evaluate a business colleague through social courtesies. Since we generally assess and probe professionally rather than socially, we start talking business very quickly.
11. Which of the following statements is wrong? ___________
A. Americans seem to be always under pressure.
B. Americans attach less importance to pat
