Thanksgiving Day was near. Lucy, the first grade teacher, gave her class a fun   36 — to draw a picture of somebody or something for which they were    37  . When the students    38  
their assignment, she found most of them drew some pictures of their family, teachers, friends or neighbors.
Douglas, however, made a different kind of picture. He was a   39   boy. He didn’t act the same as others. He always seemed to be shy and sad. He   40  played with other children during the break   41  they kindly invited him to. Lucy treated him very well. She always helped him and   42   him to be confident. Yes, his picture was different. He just drew a   43 . Nothing else. His abstract image   44   the imagination of his classmates. Whose hand could it be? One guessed it was a mother’s hand, for mother’s hand gives children warmth and   45  . Another child guessed it was a police officer’s hand, because the police   46  people and care for people. And so the discussion   47 .
When the children were discussing it, Lucy paused at Douglas’ desk,   48  down, and asked him whose hand it was. The little boy murmured, “It’s   49 , teacher.” Douglas was most thankful for her hand. She was   50  and felt tears in her eyes. She thought of the times she had taken his hand and walked with him here or there. She   51   how often she had said to him, “Take my   52 , Douglas. We’ll go outside.” or “Let me show you how to hold your pencil.”
The story speaks of   53  thankfulness. It also says something about teachers teaching and parents parenting and friends showing friendship. They might not always say “  54 ” out, but they’ll remember the hand that you   55 out to give them love and be grateful to you always.

Whether I’m looking for a good chat with some old Mends or a quiet place to meet a colleague, the pub will be the place I always choose.
I could, of course, go to a bar. But a pub, I always find, is far more comfortable and has a more relaxed atmosphere.
Many people in the UK also have a favorite pub at the end of the road where they live or nearby to where they work. I can almost always guarantee that I’ll bump into someone I know at my “l(fā)ocal”, as we British call our nearest pub.
In fact, many people from the UK say that the pub is a cornerstone (基礎(chǔ)) of British life. Coming together over a drink, usually of beer, is generally con­sidered the best way to catch up with friends. For those who are a little reserved (內(nèi)向的), as the British sometimes are, it’s the best way to open up and get chatting.
However, this habit is slowly changing among some British people. According to a survey completed in August by UK trade magazine The Publican, eating, rather than drinking, has become the main source of income for our 52,000 pubs.
The gastropub (美食酒吧), with its greater emphasis on food, is primarily responsible. All over the country, this more expensive type of pub has been springing up, providing a place for more formal meetings with business partners. Wine is often drunk instead of the traditional beer.
But not everyone’s happy. Many people hate the fact that some local pubs are closing because new gastropubs are proving more profitable. “Beer sales are sinking and many pubs are struggling to survive,” Rob Haward, of the British Beer and Pub Association, told UK newspaper The Daily Mail.
For my part, I’m going to do all I can to keep the local British pub alive. It will be the first place I visit when I go back home.
小題1:.  The article is mainly about         .
A．the British pub losing popularity B．the author’s love of pubs
C．how the British socialize D．the local British pub
小題2:. Many British people say that the pub is a cornerstone of British life because         .
A．it is nearby and convenient
B．it is a great place for meeting friends
C．it is far more comfortable than a bar to have a drink
D．it is easy to bump into people they know in a pub ,
小題3:. From the text, we can conclude that gastropubs         .
A．will replace the local pubs
B．a(chǎn)ttach more importance to drinks
C．a(chǎn)re somewhere between a restaurant and a bar
D．a(chǎn)ttract beer lovers as well as wine lovers
小題4:.  Which of the following is TRUE according to the article?
A．The author is in favor of gastropubs.
B．Wine is thought to show one’s class and taste.
C．British people do not go to pubs as often as be­fore.
D．Local pubs are being seriously affected by gastropubs.

The UK has a well-respected higher education system and some of the top universities and research institutions in the world．But to those who are new to it all, sometimes it can be confusing．   
October is usually the busiest month in the college calendar．Universities have something called Freshers’ Week for their newcomers．It’s a great opportunity to make new friends，join lots of clubs and settle into university life．
However，having just left the comfort of home and all your friends behind，you can feel nervous when meeting lots of strangers in big halls. Where do you start? Who should you make friends with? Which clubs should you join?
Luckily, there will be thousands of others in the same boat as you worrying about starting their university social life on the right foot．So just take it all in slowly．Don’t rush into anything that you’ll regret for the next three years.
Here are some top tips from past students on how to survive Freshers’ week:
·Learn rules．Make sure you know British social etiquette (禮節(jié))．Have a few wine glasses and snacks handy for your housemates and friends.
·Be kind．Sometimes cups of tea or even pieces of French fries can give you a good start in making friends.
·Be sociable．The more active you are, the more 1ikely you’ll meet new people than if you’re someone who is shy and never leaves his room.
·Bring a doorstop. Keep your door open when you’re in and that sends positive messages to your neighbors that you’re friendly.

Modern inventions have speeded up people’s lives amazingly. Motor-cars cover a hundred miles in little more than an hour, aircraft cross the world inside a day, while computers operate at lightning speed. Indeed, this love of speed seems never-ending. Every year motor-cars are produced which go even faster and each new computer boasts (吹噓) of saving precious seconds in handling tasks.
All this saves time, but at a price. When we lose or gain half a day in speeding across the world in an airplane, our bodies tell us so. We get the uncomfortable feeling known as jet-lag; our bodies feel that they have been left behind in another time zone. Again, spending too long at computer results in painful wrists and fingers. Mobile phones also have their dangers, according to some scientists; too much use may transmit harmful radiation into our brains, a consequence we do not like to think about.
However, what do we do with the time we have saved? Certainly not relax, or so it seems. We are so accustomed to constant activity that we find it difficult to sit and do nothing, or even just one thing at a time. Perhaps the days are long gone when we might listen quietly to a story on the radio, letting imagination take us into another world.
There was a time when some people’s lives were devoted simply to the cultivation of the land or the care of cattle. No multi-tasking there; their lives went on at a much gentler pace, and in a familiar pattern. There is much that we might envy about a way of life like this. Yet before we do so, we must think of the hard tasks our ancestors faced: they farmed with bare hands, often lived close to hunger, and had to fashion tools from wood and stone. Modern machinery has freed people from that primitive existence.
小題1: The new products become more and more time-saving because       .
A．the manufacturers boast a lotB．time is limited
C．the prices are increasingly highD．our love of speed seems never-ending
小題2: What does “the days” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A．Simple life in the past.B．Imaginary life.
C．Times of inventions.D．Time for constant activity.
小題3:. What is the author’s attitude towards the modern technology?
A．Critical.B．Optimistic.C．Objective.D．Negative.
小題4:. What does the passage mainly discuss?
A．The present and past times.B．Modern technology and its influence.
C．Imaginations and inventions.D．Machinery and human beings.

If you've ever seen a James Bond movie，you'll know that the hero gets around in a smart Aston Martin car. Even if you know full well that you could never afford such an expensive vehicle, you don't forget the name, or the car.
　 Why? You have been affected by product placement.
　 Companies pay a film to place their products in the movie. Product placement took off in the West in the 1980s and is now catching on in China. Two Hunan Satellite TV dramas are recent examples：Ugly Wudi and Let's Go Watch the Meteor Shower (《一起去看流星雨》).
　 Shampoo, mobile phones, cars and fitness centers–anything can be product-placed. Advertisers value the mass appeal of the movies, knowing that a successful film can showcase their goods to hundreds of thousands of viewers. But when product placement takes over, artistic considerations can take a back seat.
　 Cai Zhiyong has been product-placing for years. The Beijing-based advertiser admits there is a conflict between art and business. He explains the way one ad works. In If You are the One (《非誠勿擾》), the actress Shu Qi plays a flight attendant. The movie contains product placement for airline companies.
　 Cash-strapped filmmakers often have to give less consideration to the quality of their work because they need money from advertisers. In the original story for Meteor Shower, the heroine's mother owned an ice cream shop. But no ice cream company wanted to sponsor (贊助) the film. For this reason, the story was changed. In the film the man drinks 20 cups of milk tea instead of eating ice cream.
　 So you may see the power of business over the movies, since the script (劇本) was perhaps written so that a product could be placed-whether it was ice cream or milk tea.
小題1:James Bond movies are mentioned in the first paragraph to show_________.
A．how popular James Bond is B．how great the Aston Martin car is
C．how to make a movie more artistic D．how effectively product placement works
小題2:Product placement can have a bad effect on the_________ of a movie.
A．a(chǎn)tmosphere B．mass appeal C．box-office success D．a(chǎn)rtistic value
小題3:What does the underlined word "cash-strapped" in Paragraph 6 probably mean?
A．Short of money. B．Wasting a lot of money.
C．having enough money. D．Trying to save money.
小題4:We can learn from the example of Meteor Shower that__________.
A．business has a big say in the movie
B．the original story was not suitable for a movie
C．filmmakers are only concerned about making money
D．milk tea is more popular than ice cream

Just as the world’s most respected scientific bodies have confirmed that the world is getting hotter, they have also stated that there is strong evidence that humans are driving the warming. Countless recent reports from the world’s leading scientific bodies have said the same thing. For example, a 2010 summary of climate science by the Royal Society stated that: “There is strong evidence that the warming of the Earth over the last half-century has been caused largely by human activity.”
The idea that humans could change the planet’s climate may be counter-intuitive(與直覺不符的), but the basic science is well understood. Each year, human activity causes billions of tons of greenhouse gases to be released（釋放）into the atmosphere. As scientists have known for years, these gases hold heat that would otherwise escape to space, wrapping the planet in an invisible blanket.
Of course, the planet’s climate has always been changing thanks to “natural” factors(因素) such as changes in solar or volcanic（火山的）activity, or cycles relating the Earth’s going around the sun. According to the scientific literature, however, the warming recorded to date matches the pattern of warming we would expect from a build-up of greenhouse gas in the atmosphere – not the warming we would expect from other possible causes.
Even if scientists did discover another reasonable explanation for the warming observed so far, that would beg a difficult question. As Robert Henson puts it in The Rough Guide to Climate Change: “If some newly discovered factor can account for the climate change, then why aren’t carbon dioxide（二氧化碳）and the other greenhouse gases producing the warming that basic physics tells us they should be?”
The only way to prove with 100% certainty that humans are responsible for global warming would be to run an experiment with two identical Earths – one with human influence and one without. That obviously isn’t possible, and so most scientists are careful not to state human influence as an absolute certainty.
小題1: In most scientists’ opinion, the global warming is mainly caused by ________.
A．solar activity
B．volcanic activity
C．the Earth’s going around the sun
D．human activity
小題2:The text is developed by ________.
A．giving typical examples
B．following the order of space
C．a(chǎn)nalyzing a theory and arguing it
D．comparing and finding differences
小題3:The underline word “identical” means ________.
A．totally different
B．exactly the same
C．extremely important
D．relatively independent
小題4: Which of the following can be the best title?
A．Are All the Scientists Really Scientific?
B．Where Is Global Warming Leading Us to?
C．Are Humans Definitely Causing Global Warming?
D．What’s Relation of Global Warming and Greenhouse Gases?

The Winter Palace was built between 1754 and 1762 for Empress Elizabeth, the daughter of Peter the Great. Unfortunately, Elizabeth died before the palace was completed and only Catherine the Great and her successors were able to enjoy the great interior (內(nèi)部) of Elizabeth’s home. Many parts of the palace’s impressive interior have been remodeled since then, particularly after 1837, when a huge fire destroyed most of the building. Today the Winter Palace, together with four more buildings arranged side by side along the river embankment, houses the extensive collections of the Hermitage. The Hermitage Museum is the largest art gallery in Russia and is among the largest and most respected art museums in the world.
The museum was founded in 1764 when Catherine the Great bought a collection of 255 paintings from the German city of Berlin. Today, the Hermitage boasts over 2.7 million exhibits and displays, a diverse range of art and artifacts (手工藝品) from all over the world and throughout history (from Ancient Egypt to the early 20th century Europe). The Hermitage’s collections include works by Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Raphael and Titian, a collection of Rembrandts and Rubens, many French Impressionist works by Renoir, Cezanne, Monet and Pissarro, and several works by Rodin. The collection is really worth a stop for all those interested in art and history. The experts say that if you were to spend a minute looking at each exhibit on show in the Hermitage, you would need 11 years before you’d seen them all. However, we suggest you choose a guided tour instead!
Location: Dvortsovaia Naberezhnaia, 32-38.
Open: 10:30 am to 5:30 pm, Sunday till 5 pm.

Cities in Europe and around the world may be growing “bike trees” in the near future. Invented by Japan’s JFE engineering Corp., the invention proved useful in the busiest parts of this nation’s crowded cities.
Local governments of Japan have struggled for ways to encourage people to park their bikes considerately, particularly close to big stations, but that may block some roads and entrances to home and businesses. “Our cities do not have a lot of space for any kind of parking, including bicycles.” said Mitsuharu Oshima, a spokesman for JFE Engineering. The bike tree comes in two types; one in a tower that is above ground, and on the contrary, the other in a subterranean structure.
A cyclist registers（登記）with the operator of the equipment, pays a monthly fee and pushes the wheels of his bicycle into restraints at the base of the bike tree. Each bicycle is fitted with an electronic card with the owner’s details. A mechanical arm then pulls the bike into the base of the tower and moves it to a free location inside. To collect the bike later, the cyclist puts his card through a reader and his bike is automatically (自動地)returned to him in seconds. “The science of the equipment has been difficult----even though they may look simple ----because bikes come in many different shapes and sizes.” said Oshima.
As well as clearing away the road, bicycles cannot be stolen from a bike tree. There are presently versions at seven sites in Japan and two others are under construction, while work is under way on an even larger version----with room for 9,400 bicycles---in Thailand. And Oshima believes that the idea could catch on in Europe, particularly in countries such as France, Holland and Denmark, where cycling is so popular.
小題1: What is the right order of the following things when you use the bike tree?
① the wheels of the bicycle are put into restraints at the base
② the card is read and the bike is automatically returned
③ an electronic card with the owner’s details is given
④ the bike is pulled and moved to a free location inside
A．③②①④B．②①④③C．③①④②D．②④③①
小題2:What made it difficult to design “bike trees”?
A．The location of “bike trees”
B．The differences of the bikes
C．The method of finding enough bikes
D．The importance of traffic safety
小題3: From the passage, we can know that___________.
A．cyclists can use “bike trees” for free in Japan
B．there are seven “bike trees” used for holding bikes in Japan
C．local government of Japan encourage people to ride bikes
D．countries with many cyclists in Europe will like the idea of “bike trees’

Warm water freezes more quickly than cold water. Sir Francis Bacon said that almost four hundred years ago. But few people believed him. Later, a Canadian scientist George Kell proved the English scholar was right. Dr.Kell filled an open jar（罐子）with cold water. He filled another with warm water. He put them both in the same low temperature. And the warm water froze first.
What was the reason? Some of the warm water changed into vapour. It went into the air. This meant that less of the warm water was left to freeze. And so the warm water froze faster than the cold water.
小題1: Sir Francis Bacon was__________________.
A．a(chǎn)n American chemistB．a(chǎn)n English scholar
C．a(chǎn) Canadian scientistD．a(chǎn) French physicist
小題2: Dr.Kell’s jars were both_____________________.
A．put in a place of the same low temperature
B．filled with warm water
C．left empty
D．put on a long table
小題3: The cold water froze more slowly because_____________.
A．there was less of it leftB．there was more of it left
C．something else was added to it D．its jar was much bigger
