A

The summer I was ten, my mother decided to bring us to the world of art. My brother and I were not very excited when we realized what my mother meant. What she meant was not that we could take drawing classes or painting classes but that we would have to spend one afternoon a week with her at the Fine Arts Museum. Before each visit to the museum, she made us read about artists and painting styles(风格). It was almost as bad as being in school. Who wants to spend the summer thinking about artists when you could be with your friends at the swimming pool?

First we had to read about ancient Egyptians(古埃及人) and their strange way of painting faces and then go to look at them at the museum. My 12-year-old brother thought this was so funny, but I was not interested. Later we had to learn about artists in the Middle Ages who painted people wearing strange long clothing. We had to look at pictures of fat babies with wings and curly (鬈曲的) hair and with no clothes on flying around the edges of paintings. I certainly couldn’t see what was so great about art.

On our last visit to the museum, something happened when I saw a painting by a woman called Mary. In it, a woman was reading to a child. The colors were soft and gentle, and you could tell by the mother’s expression how happy she was just to be with the child. I couldn’t stop looking at this painting! I wanted to see every painting Mary had ever made! It was really worth looking at so many paintings to find a painter who could interest me so much.

51. The aim of the mother’s plan was to _________.

A. take them to visit the museum B. introduce them to the world of art

C. ask them to read about artists D. show them different painting styles

52. What was the writer’s experience in the museum before the last visit?

A. She came to feel her mother’s love. B. She could understand the pictures of fat babies.

C. She liked many paintings. D. She hardly enjoyed herself.

53. What made the writer go through a change that summer?

A. Artists in the Middle Ages. B. A strange way of painting.

C. One of Mary’s paintings. D. Her mother’s instruction.

54. From the text, we can see _________.

A. the importance of curiosity B. the power of family education

C. the value of learning D. the effect of art

B

Reading is very important to help you learn English. To learn as much as you can from reading, you need to read different kinds of English. This book provides not only different kinds of English but also a good way to check your reading ability.

There are four parts in the book:

Part 1 is Messages: In this part somebody wants to send information in writing to somebody else. There is a test on timetable and a test on text messages.

Part 2 is People: In this part all the tests are about people. For example, there is an informal letter between friends. There is formal(正式的) English in biography(传记). There is a job application as a model to help with your writing, as well as testing your reading.

Part 3 is Places: In this part, too, many different kinds of English are shown, some informal and some formal. There is the informal English of a holiday postcard. There is also the formal English in a letter of complaint.

Part 4 is Things: You will find some descriptive(描写的) writing in this part. There are descriptions of clothes and of a computer.

You can do these tests in any order you like, or you can do all the tests with a formal or informal text. I enjoyed writing this book and I hope you enjoy using it.

55. We can find the introduction to a product in ___________.

A. part 1 B. Part 2 C. Part 3 D. Part 4

56. Which of the following is most probably written in informal English?

A. A letter of complaint. B. A letter of a friend

C. A computer handbook. D. A story of a president.

57. The passage is most probably written for _________.

C

In many countries the standard of living enjoyed by their people has increased rapidly in recent years. Sadly, not everyone in these countries is so fortunate and many people in rich countries are homeless.

The reasons for homelessness are various, but poverty（贫穷）is undoubtedly one of the main causes. The homeless people may have become jobless and then been unable to pay their rent and so no longer have a roof over their heads. Often, the fact that unemployed people get help from the government prevents this from happening, but not always.

Some homeless people are mentally ill and have no one to look after them. Some are young people who, for one reason or another, have left home and have nowhere to live. Many of them have had a serious disagreement with their parents and have left home, choosing to go to a city and live on the streets. Sometimes they have taken such action because they have been unable to get on with a step-parent.

Many homeless people get into the habit of begging to get enough money to stay alive, but many of the general public refuse to give anything to beggars. Often they are moved on by the police, being accused （指控），whether rightly or wrongly, of forceful begging . There are many who disrespect homeless people.

Some cynics（愤世嫉俗的人）declare that homeless people choose to live the life which they lead. But who would willingly choose to live in a shop doorway, under a bridge or in a cardboard box?

58. According to the text, what causes some people to be homeless?

A. Lack of money. B. The increased standard of living.

C. No government help. D. Agreement with their parents.

59. It can be inferred from the text that________.

A. the homeless are willing to live under a bridge or in a cardboard box

B. you will not find homeless people in countries with a high standard of living

C. the unemployed who receive help may still be among homeless

D. the mentally ill live on the stress because they want the company of other homeless people

60. In paragraph 2 , “a roof over their needs ”most probably means _________.

A. a cap B. a car C. a home D. a covering

61. The author thinks that the homeless people are _________.

A. admirable B. respectable C. troublesome D. pitiful

D

For many years, women could only be seen on the seat behind the men operating the two-wheeled motorcycle. Now more and more women are taking the front seat. More than twenty million people in the United States ride motorcycles.

Since 1998 the number of female（女性）bikers has risen sharply. Lady Sport Riders began in 1999 in Washington. The women formed the organization to share their love of motorcycle riding. But later it wanted to be more than just an organization for women to gather and ride motorcycles, so it started to organize events that help national health organizations and women’s shelters. It also permits women to share a strong sisterhood, and gives financial awards to poor students. Like other motorcycle clubs, the members of Lady Sport Riders also help their community.

Different from male riders, female riders ride for more than fun. This sport gives women a sense of freedom and control. Female riders have helped change motorcycle culture. More than five years ago manufacturers began making equipment especially for women. Some bikes now have smaller, softer seats and controls that are easier to reach. Modern clothes for riding now look good and still provide protection. In the past, women rode motorcycles that traveled at a moderate speed. Now theirs are as powerful as the ones men ride. Safety is very important when riding because the risk (危险) of injury is high. So the women wear protective clothing and equipment at all times, especially for the head.

Lady Sport Riders believes women have earned their place in the sport of motorcycle riding. When speaking of male motorcyclists, the members of the club say, “They Made the Game. We Came to Play!”

62. What can we learn from the first paragraph?

A. The number of female motorcyclists is now larger than that of male riders.

B. Motorcycle riding used to be considered a male sport.

C. Female motorcyclists are more skilled at riding than male riders.

D. More and more women have an adventurous spirit.

63. In the beginning, Lady Sport Riders was organized to .

A. allow women to take up motorcycling

B. offer help to national health organizations

C. share their great interest in the sport of motorcycling

D. supply financial help to poor students

64. What do men motorcyclists mainly expect to get from motorcycling?

A. Strength and power. B. Pleasure from this sport.

C. Money and fame. D. A sense of freedom.

65. Compared with the past, the present equipment makes riding more ______ for women.

A. difficult B. expensive C. risky D. pleasant

Dear Mr. Smith,

On behalf of the students of our class, I e-mail you telling you how we feel about your first- week teaching in our class. All of us think highly of your way of teaching, as you can always make your class lively and interesting. In addition, you are such a learned man that we can learn a lot from you .What impresses us most is your patience with us. Thanks to you, we have built up our confidence in learning English well.

Some of us are still poor in English and need your help. We hope you will speak a little bit slowly, thus making it easier for us to understand you. Besides, would you please spend more time with us, joining in our after-school activities? That way, we can have more chances to practise our oral English.

If you have any difficulties with your life here, just tell us. We’re ready to offer you any help.

Yours,

Li Hua

听力原文：

(Text1)

M: Exercise me, could you tell me how to get to the nearest bank?

W: Sure. Go straight for two blocks, turn left, and walk three more blocks until you get to the drugstore. It’s right across the street.

(Text2)

M: It looks as if it’s going to rain.

W: Yeah. Suppose it rains before the bus comes. What shall we do?

M: In that case,we’ll take a taxi to the nearest subway station. Then take the subway home.

(Text3)

W: It’s going to cost a fortune to get my car fixed.

M: Why don’t you just trade it for a new one?

(Text4)

W: Did you get some gas for the car?

M: Oh, I forgot. We’d better get some on our way back. Shall we get something to eat now?

W: I’m not hungry now. Let’s go for a mid-night dinner after the play. Let’s find our seats first.

(Text5)

W: Are you travelling alone, Mike?

M: No, I’ll take my family abroad this time. My wife and our three children are all along with me.

W: What a wonderful experience that’ll be!

(Text6)

W: So how was your year, Sam?

M: Pretty good, thanks. I managed to save a whole lot of money this year. I had a part-time job on the weekends, and now I’ve managed to pay off the school loan.

W: That’s great! Congratulations! I have made a plan, too. I hope to win the scholarship next term.

M: Well, I think you will. In six months, I will have saved enough money for what I’ve always wanted.

W: What’s that?

M: A motorcycle. A big one!

(Text7)

W: Hello,Jay, did you get back from holiday on Friday or Saturday?

M: Neither. I came back on Sunday..

W: Where did you stay during your holiday?

M: We stayed in an excellent hotel right on the beach.

W: Wow, what did you do there?

M: There were tennis courts in it, but you know I’m no good at tennis. But the swimming pool was so great that I went there every day. Of course my dad spent a llot of time playing golf there. And at dusk, I also went for a walk with my mum to enjoy the sunset on the beach.

W: So was it a good holiday?

M: Sure. The hotel was really comfortable and not too noisy. It wasn’t expensive either, so we may go back again.

(Text8)

W: Look, Mark. I’m married.

M: What? Married? You? It’s unbelievable. Who is the lucky guy?

W: Richard. A man I met on my way to Sydney.

M: It sounds like a film. Come on. Tell me the whole story!

W: OK. Where should I begin? Yes, I get a little airsick, you know, so when the plane began to take off, I felt very sick. I wanted to get some plastic bags since I felt like being sick. Just that moment, I heard a very beautiful voice, maybe the most beautiful voice I have ever heard in my life. It said, “Are you OK, lady?” I looked up and a very handsome face appeared in front of my eyes.

M: It was that guy, wasn’t it?

W: Yes, it was. He helped me and tried to make me feel better, and in the following hours, I never felt uncomfortable at all.

M: That is the magic of love. And what happened then?

M: It was that guy, wasn’t it?

W: We began to talk. And to my surprise, we have so much in common. Both of us like football, the violin, rock music and oil painting and neither of us like hot food and so on.

M: It’s amazing, isn’t it?

W: When we got to the Sydney airport, we exchanged our telephone numbers. Then we went to see a movie on the second day, and three months later, here we are married!

(Text9)

M: Where shall we eat tonight?

W: Well, there are plenty of choices. The guidebook says this city has hundreds of restaurants. What kind of food would you like to have, John?

M: Well, I quite like seafood. There’s The Captain’s Table on Fifth Street. The guidebook gives it four stars.

W: I don’t know. The hotel clerk told me the service is slow. But if you like seafood, there are a couple more places in the guidebook.

M: Ah, yes…Mangan’s or Joe’s Café. What about those, Mary?

W: Mangan’s could be a good choice. It’s nicer than Joe’s Café, and from there you can see the beautiful sea. We’d probably pay a bit extra… But we’re on holiday; I think we should spend more.

M: Sounds great! Oh, no. Hold on. It’s closed tonight. What a shame! Shall we go to Joe’s Café, then?

W: Yes, I suppose we’ll have to. I’ll give them a call and book a table. Can I use your phone?

M: Sorry, I’ve left my phone in the hotel. We can ask the hotel clerk to do it. I also want to pick up my phone. In that case we can have a drink before dinner if you like.

W: Good idea.

(Text10)

M: Hello, everyone! Today I want to talk about myself. When I was in high school, my ambition was to be a pilot in the Air Force. But I had to give up the idea because of my poor eyesight. I went to university and studied physics. I wanted to stay on there and do research, but my father died at that time. So I thought I’d better get a job and earn my living. I started working in an engineering firm as an engineer. But after one year, they appointed a new manager. I didn’t get on with him, so I quit and applied for a job with another engineering company. On my way to the interview I met a friend who was working for a travel agency. He offered me a job in Spain. I took it. I worked in the travel agency for two years and then they wanted to send me to South America. But I had just gotten married. So I decided to stay here. Then we had a baby but I wasn’t earning enough to support the family. So I started giving English lessons at a school in the evenings. And here I am.
