M: You don't have to look so sad about it.

W: To be honest, I feel like a failure. At the start of the school year, our teacher thought that my English was good enough for me to join a new class for Internet learners. After two months of study in the online class, I think my English got worse.

M: What was the problem with the online class?

W: Lots of things. For one, I was separated from my best friend. But the biggest

problem was that I didn't have anyone to help me. Without a teacher to tell me what to do, I never knew what to do in class. I was so discouraged. Needless to say, my English didn't improve at all.

M: Do you really think that you should blame other people for your failures? W: What?

M: I mean, you are responsible for your own studies, not your teacher or your friends. Maybe you should have worked harder to do well.

Now 37 years old, Lisa has returned to school to study English. There are many students like Lisa at the Open University—a school which is different from most other universities.

One of the differences is that its students are all over 21 years of age. Most of them are full-time workers or stay-at-home mothers. And, they do not have to pass any examinations before being accepted as students, which is why the university is called "open". The university was started to help people who had missed having a university education when they were young.

Another difference is that most of the teaching is done on radio and television. Open University students also receive advice at one of 283 study centers in the country. It's a lot of hard work. Students have to send written work to a "tutor" 36 weeks of the year. Students must also spend 3 weeks every summer as full-time students. Questions

2.【题文】When I was 19, I became the first female photojournalist in the Gaza Strip(加沙地带), Palestine. My work as a woman photographer was considered as a serious shame to local traditions. The man-ruled job made me feel unwelcome by all possible means. They made it clear that a woman must not do a man‘s job. Photo agencies in Gaza refused to train me.

Three of my co-workers went as far as to drive me to an open air strike(空袭)area where explosions(爆炸)were the only thing I could hear. I only realized we weren‘t there to document(记录)the event when the three of them got back into the armored(装甲)Jeep and drove away, waving and laughing, leaving me behind in the open air strike zone.

For a moment, I felt terrified, ashamed, and sorry for myself…

I started paying closer attention to women‘s lives in Gaza. As a woman, I could go where my

co-workers were forbidden to go. Beyond the obvious pain and suffering, there were healthy amounts of laughter and joy.

In front of a police station in Gaza City, an Israeli air strike destroyed the station and broke my nose. For a moment, all I saw was bright white. I thought I had either gone blind or I was in heaven. By the time I managed to open my eyes, I had documented this moment.

Mohammed Khader is a Palestinian worker who spent two decades in Israel. When he retired, he built a four-floor house. But his house was destroyed in this air strike. Nothing was left but a bathtub. Mohammed put the bathtub on the top of the ruins and started giving his kids a bubble bath every morning.

My work is not meant to hide the scars of war, but to show the full unseen stories of Gazans. As a Palestinian female photographer, the journey of struggle, survival and everyday life has inspired me to overcome the community taboo(禁忌)and see a different side of war and its aftermath. I became a witness with a choice: to run away or stand still.

1. The author was not welcome by her co-workers in the Gaza Strip because ________.

A. she hadn‘t received the training offered by the photo agency

B. the local traditions didn‘t allow a woman to do a man‘s job

C. her co-workers were going to take part in the battle

D. she was terrified of explosions in the air strike area

2. During the air strike on the police station, what happened to the author?

A. Her nose was broken. B. She went blind.

C. She went to heaven. D. She felt dizzy for a long time.

3. The author used Mohammed Khader as an example to show __________.

A. there was pain as well as laughter during the war

B. how dangerous the surroundings were in Gaza

C. she could document common people‘s lives at the war

D. how the war had influenced her life

4. From the passage, it can be inferred that the author _________.

A. wouldn‘t like to reveal the cruel side of war

B. had to leave Gaza because of the community taboo

C. decided to document more unseen scenes in the war

D. was determined to run away from the war in Gaza

3.【题文】 I use the public library weekly and on the shelf at this moment is The Child in Time, a novel about a three-year-old girl taken away by force and the disclosing of her parents‘ marriage—guilt, anger, grief, loneliness. I‘m a quarter of the way through this tidy novel but may return it to the library unfinished. Words are underlined in pencil by one of the previous readers who, I suspect, was trying to improve her vocabulary.

The underlined words have stopped my progress and not because of annoyance. As a poet,

sometimes searching for the right words myself, I began to consider the author of these pencil strikes. She was female, near my age (early 60s), and thoughtful about the years lost on a no-good husband. Like the graceful (优雅的) pencil marks, she was controlled in every way—touch, voice, makeup, and clothes. Perhaps a nurse attracted to the novel‘s theme? Or an inexperienced bookworm on her way to the morning shift by bus?

I gave her the details of a life story, but one fact remained: A reader had underlined words. In doing so, she had accepted the view that learning doesn‘t end. She might have been a mail carrier(this is how I saw her by page 180), but she was not about to give up, now capped with gray hair.

There are thousands of words we don‘t know, seen in print or heard in conversation. We can just let them go, and be none the worse because of it. But we can also give new words a try. The attempts are interesting.

I might finish the novel—it‘s very good, after all. But as I read, I can‘t help thinking of the previous reader—nurse or mail carrier. She turned the page and, through reading glasses as thick as mine, made marks on her self-improvement.

1. What do we know about the girl in the novel The Child in Time?

A. She was upset because of wearing thick glasses.

B. She was cheated at home by her parents.

C. She grew up in a family lacking love and care.

D. She loved to read novels at an early age.

2. How did the underlined words affect the author?

A. They have encouraged her to go on reading the novel.

B. They have made her annoyed and she‘s stopped reading.

C. She is determined to be a graceful reader like the former one.

D. She began to imagine what the former reader is like.

3. What does the passage say about the author?

A. She‘s in her 60‘s and doesn‘t have a good family life.

B. She has been interested in literature since childhood.

C. She goes to work at the post office each morning by bus.

D. She wants to become a attractive nurse through learning.

4. What does the author think about new words she meets?

A. They should be ignored to avoid feeling worse.

B. By learning new words she can improve herself.

C. She may give up reading because of the new words.

D. They suggest how graceful and lonely the writer is.

4.【题文】Imagine this. You are visiting a beautiful mountain somewhere in the countryside. Part of the trip takes you up a steep mountain cliff. At the top, visitors can step out on to a see-through

walkway. The reinforced glassflooring hangs about 1,000 meters above sea level. Sounds exciting, right? But then, part of the flooring cracks. There is a loud noise, and some of the glass appears to break up.

Chinese glass walkway 3,000 feet up in the air cracks as tourists walk across it. That is what tourists experienced recently during a visit to Yuntai Mountain in China‘s Henan province. The glassskywalk had only been open for a few weeks. The Yuntai Mountain Geological Park said there was no reason for worry and that the cracks had "no impact on safety.‖

But online discussions about this incident show some people were of a different opinion. Glassskywalks have become popular in many of China‘s tourist areas. But critics say China has an issue with poor workmanship and poor crowd control. People joked online that the setting up of these glass walkways and skyways are not transparent. Others are saying that this is nothing to laugh about. One comment on the social media site Weibo said, ―This is no joke. Tourism is taking your life in your own hands. No more of these glass walkways. Just too scary.‖

The New York Times reported that a story about the glasscracking appeared on the social media site Weibo. A tourist claimed that a piece of glass broke and people began shouting ―it‘s really broken,really broken.‖ This person then said people began running and pushing people in front of them.

The Yuntai Mountain officials said the cracks were not serious.The officials said that to make sure people feel 100 percent safe, they have decided to close the walkway temporarily until repairs are made.

1. Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A. The cracks are not serious because the glass walkways have been used for a few months.

B. Experienced tourists must have tried glass walkways because they have become popular in China.

C. Poor workmanship and poor crowd control in China make the glass walkways a concern.

D. Repairs of the walkways are very tough, so they will close the Yuntai Mountain Geological Park.

2.what does the underlined word in the third paragraph mean?

A. open and honest

B. popular and exciting

C. scary and upset

D. official and reliable

3. What can we learn about the forth paragarapf?

A. Online stories may not be true.

B. The tourist is very humorous.

C. Safety is extremely important.

D. Crowd control is necessary.

4. The passage is most probably taken from ____________.

A. a travel journal

B. a news report

I have two friends who were poor and needed my help.The first friend was in his final year in University while I was in my third year.He needed some money for school fees,and he came to me.As a student,I didn’t have much,but I gave him what he needed on the agreement that he would pay back.I didn’t trouble him after that.

Later on,after school,he got into another period of deep financial stress and called me on the phone to borrow some more,promising that he’d pay all of it back once he lands a job.Out of kindness,I still gave him what he needed.He was so grateful.It’s so hard to find someone willing to lend money,even with interest.I never troubled him after that.

Fast forward a few months later.One evening,I was feeling happy.My heart was full of love.I felt like having a special act of kindness.And then I thought,“Why not give up my friend’s money? Things are so difficult for him.” So I called him,saying I didn’t need his money.He was shocked! He couldn’t believe it.He was so happy and later sent me a message of heart-felt gratitude.

Another time,a second friend had no money to pay the rented house.The owner was going to throw his things out from the house the next day.And he only had an uncle who was sometimes helping him.His uncle had promised to send the money in three months.My friend called me and told me his trouble.It happened that the day before my father had given me some money for my monthly use.Knowing somehow that my friend needed that money more than I did,I gave it all to him for free.

In life,it’s the small but powerful actions of love that matter.When life is over,that’s what counts.We’re love.Love unites us.Love is the key.

Born in New York City in June 1944,the American composer(作曲家) and conductor Marvin Hamlisch,who composed the music for great films and Broadway musicals,passed away on August 6,2012,in Los Angeles,California.

Hamlisch’s music touched lives around the world and won him three Oscars,four Grammys,four Emmys,a Tony,and three Golden Globe awards.He won multiple awards for his score of the

groundbreaking(开创性的) show A Chorus Line.That musical also won a Pulitzer Prize.He worked with a number of American stars,including Barbra Streisand and Aretha Franklin.He composed more than 40 motion picture scores including the Oscar-winning score and song for The Way We Were and his adaptation of Scott Joplin’s ragtime music for The Sting,which provided his third Oscar.

One of his last performances was on July 13,at the Wolf Trap Performing Arts center outside Washington.Hamlisch performed with Broadway singer Melissa Errico,in an evening of George Gershwin tunes.Errico says she cherishes the experience.

“It was the greatest artistic experiences of my life,not to mention the amount of laughter we got out of the audience,which is so Marvin to do a serious job with music but to be super silly.That’s Marvin.He likes to have a good time and turn the corner and do incredible music,”she said.

Hamlisch was the main pops conductor for several U.S.orchestras,including the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra,Pasadena Symphony and Pops and The San Diego Symphony.He’s considered one of the most modern composers,with works from Broadway hits to classical compositions and rhythm and blues hits.

He was a graduate of the Julliard School of Music and Queens College.He often spoke of music’s universal appeal.On his Web site,he wrote,“There is a global nature to music,which has the potential to bring all people together.”

Outdoors,in the open air,seems like a natural place to study natural science.It also makes sense in a place like Southern California where people like to be outside a lot.Now the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County is working to bring the indoors to the outdoors for its visitors. The museum has changed an outdoor space into a living exhibit.This is a big change for the one and a half hectare area.It used to include a parking lot.Now,instead of cars,it welcomes birds,butterflies and other living things.

Teacher Eva Eng and her young students recently visited the museum’s outdoor campus.Ms.Eng says they enjoyed their experience.The children were learning about plant science in school.She said,“getting their hands in the mud,and planting seeds,watering them,watching them grow.”

Scientists who work at the museum come outside to describe plants and insects in the natural setting of this outdoor laboratory.Greg Pauly specializes in studying turtles,like the western pond turtle.He tells the students how development has changed its natural habitat.He says these turtles are happiest around small bodies of water that grow and shrink with the seasons.Today,he says,there is a lot more permanent water,like a pond at the Natural History Museum itself.And he says

the changing habitat is one reason why western pond turtles are shrinking in number.

In addition to science lessons,the open-air exhibit can provide contact with nature in a way that some city children rarely get.But only parts of the new outdoor campus are open now.But Karen Wise says more changes are coming.Ms.Wise is the museum’s vice president for education and exhibits.She said,“Now we are opening up the whole museum,making it an indoor-outdoor experience,so that our visitors can be a part of the experience.” The work is expected to be completed by June of twenty-thirteen.Next year is the museum’s one hundredth anniversary.

9.Why does the author mention Eva Eng and her students’ visit to the museum?

A.To show that the living exhibit is welcomed by the students.

B.To prove that students in California like to play outside most.

C.To tell us students can learn more there than that from class.

D.To stress visiting the living exhibit does good to their health.

答案 A

解析 推理判断题。第三段伊娃·英(Eva Eng)老师和她的小学生们最近参观了这家博物馆的户外园区。英女士说他们的这次经历非常愉快。孩子们在学校里正学植物科学。由此可知原文提及他们的目的是为了说明孩子们很喜欢这里,故本题选择A项。

10.What does the underlined phrase “hands-on things” in Paragraph 3 mean?

A.Interesting games by playing them in hands.

B.Practical experience by doing it themselves.

C.Useful courses provided by the museum.

D.Important subjects learnt from the museum.

答案 B

解析 词义猜测题。根据下文的解释“getting their hands in the mud,and planting seeds,watering them,watching them grow”可知划线词的含义为亲自动手和实践能力,故本题选择B项。

11.What can we learn from the passage?

A.All parts of the new outdoor campus aren’t open now.

B.2013 is a living exhibit’s one hundredth anniversary.

C.Some of the guiders in the living exhibit are scientists.

D.A living exhibit now has changed an outdoor laboratory.

答案 A

解析 细节理解题。根据最后一段“But only parts of the new outdoor campus are open now.”可知选项A与之对应,属于部分否定,意为:目前这个新的户外园区只有部分区域开放,故本题选择A项。
