People also continue to talk about her ideas and her interesting life. As a young child, Alisa loved books. She began to write her own stories when she was only seven. She took classes in politics, history, law and writing. In 1926, she traveled to the United States and decided she would never leave. She also decided to change her name to "Ayn Rand." Newly named, Rand moved to Hollywood, California to work in the movie business. Throughout the 1930s, she published two books, but did not earn much critical or popular recognition. Then, in 1943, Rand's famous book " The Fountainhead " was published. It took her seven years to write the novel. Twelve publishers rejected the book. However, a man named Archibald Ogden loved the story and convinced theBobbs-Merrill company to publish it. " The Fountainhead " became a huge success around the world. It has sold more than six million copies. It continuesto sell about one hundred thousand copies each year. " The Fountainhead " tells the story of a young building designer named Howard Roark. Roark wants to build interesting, modern-looking buildings. However, most people only want to see traditional designs. Roark loves designing and building more than anything in the world. But he refuses to compromise and make buildings he hates. Several people work against Roark and his goals. But in the end, Roark succeeds. " The Fountainhead " is an unusual novel for many reasons. It is more than 700 pages long, far longer than most books people read for entertainment. More importantly, it also includes discussions of philosophy, which are not usually found in popular books. Most critics did not like " The Fountainhead ." But readers loved it. In 1949 ，it was made into a popular movie. She lived quietly in New Y ork City until she died in 1982. She is still one of the most loved, and hated, American thinkers and writers. 41. When did Alisa decide to change her name to Ayn Rand? A. When she began to write her own stories. B. When she took classes in politics and writing. C. When she decided to settle in the US. D. When she moved to Hollywood, California. 42. Which of the following is true of Rand's famous book The Fountainhead ? A. It cost the author eight years to complete. B. It was loved by all the twelve publishers. C. It was finally published by Archibald Ogden. D. It was a great success around the world. 43. What can we learn about Howard Roark? A. He wants to build interesting, traditional buildings. B. He loves designing and building anything in the world. C. He has to give in and make buildings he hates. D. He achieves his goals and eventually gains success. 44. "The Fountainhead is an unusual novel mainly because _______.

What is the passage mainly about? A. The life and writing of Ayn Rand. B. The interesting life of Ayn Rand. C. Rand's famous book "The Fountainhead". D. Different attitudes towards Rand ’ s book. B Can you imagine what 680,000 tons of food look like? That ’ s the amount of food wasted in Britain each year, and at the top of the list of wasted food is bread. In the British diet, bread appears in every meal. It is eaten for breakfast, used for sandwiches for lunch and put in soups at dinner. Almost everyone in Britain buys bread — from people of rich families to common people who don’ t have much money. Bread is so important to the British that they sometimes use the word “ bread ” to mean “ money” and the word “ loaf ” to mean “ head ” . So let ’ s use our “ loaves ” to understand why so much “ bread ” is wasted! Even though bread is still sold in such a popular way and in such a large amount, that doesn ’ t mean it is made full use of. We often say that half a loaf is still better than none, but it seems people are simply buying much more than they need, so they throw away the bread that they don ’ t need. Baker Chris Young explains that the British aren ’ t valuing their bread because bread is no longer respected. “ None of the bread that is thrown away is ‘ real ’ bread —homemade or carefully-made bread, but is bought from the bread shop, ” he said. Another baker Mark Boyle agrees. “ If you make something by yourself, you don ’ t want to waste it because you know how much energy you ’ ve put into it. But although home baking is a nice idea, for many it ’ s out of their ability because they have to work such long hours every day that they don ’ t have time to make bread by themselves at home. So they simply buy bread and just bring it home to eat, ” he said. Perhaps the British should try to bake bread by themselves, which can probably make their dustbins lighter. 46. The first paragraph shows us that _____. A. bread is the cheapest food in Britain B. bread will become less popular in Britain C. different British people like different bread D. bread plays an important part in British diet 47. What does it mean if a British boss says to his worker “ use your loaf ”? A. He wants his worker to have bread in the company. B. He promises to give his worker more money. C. He asks his worker to think more carefully. D. He advises his worker to buy more bread. 48. According to Baker Chris Young, the thrown-away bread is ____. A. made at home B. bought from shops C. not delicious D. not expensive 49. Mark Boyle believes that the British throw much bread mainly because they ______. A. are tired of eating bread B. are too rich to value bread C. don ’ t like the taste of the bread D. don ’ t put any energy into baking the bread 50. According to Mark Boyle, many English people fail to make bread by themselves at home because they ______. A. are very busy B. earn much money C. become lazier than before D. don ’ t know how to bake bread C How did your friendships begin? Most start with a short conversation on a random day. Asking about a homework assignment in class or complaining about your painful legs after playing in a soccer game, you found your best pal by accident. “ Small talk is where all your relationships begin, ” Forbes magazine summed up. The following is a five-step guide to making small talk from Bernardo J. Carducci, the director of the Shyness Research Institute at Indiana University Southeast, US. Let ’ s have a look. ① Getting started Begin by talking about the setting, such as the weather outside or the room you are in ( “ It ’ s cold in here, isn ’ t it? ” ). The purpose of talking about the setting is to show the other person that you are willing to make a conversation. ②The personal introduction You should mention something about yourself, such as your name. A good personal introduction helps move the conversation forward. ③Looking for topics At this point, you and your conversation partner need to find common ground. This is a good time to ask questions or to refer back to th ings you ’ ve said or heard earlier. Don ’ t worry if it gets quiet. The other person is probably just thinking of something to say. ④Expanding the topic The goal is to keep the conversation going. At every stage, you should be careful not to talk too much. Bu t don’ t let the other person dominate the conversation either. If that starts to happen, mention something about yourself when he or she takes a breath. ⑤A polite ending When ending a conversation, let the person know you ’ ll be leaving soon, express gratitude for the conversation and set the stage for a future conversation. For example, you could say, “ I really must be going soon, but I had a great time chatting with you. I really liked hearing your opinion about that new movie. Here ’ s my phone number. Call or text me if you know of any other movies you think I might enjoy. ” 51. According to the article, starting by talking about the setting is meant to ______. A. find common ground B. impress the other person C. make a conversation D. make the room warmer 52. Which tip is about dealing with silent moments? A. Tip ①. B. Tip ③. C. Tip ④. D. Tip ⑤ . 53. What does the underlined word “ dominate ” mean in Tip ④? A. interrupt B. control C. adapt D. simplify 54. When ending a conversation, you ’ d better ______. A. talk about how much you want to keep talking B. show that you ’ ve not enjoyed the talk C. mention a specific movie that you love D. give your opinion about the other person ’s earlier comments 55. The main purpose of the article is to ______. A. encourage students to make more friends B. give students tips on making small talk C. introduce popular topics for students D. teach students how to create their friendships D Tony Blair, the former British Prime Minister, once said, “ We celebrate the diversity in our country, get strength from the cultures and the races that go to make up Britain today. ” People from all cultures and races can be found in every corner of Britain and each person in his or her own way has contributed to making Britain, especially in the bigger cities, you will usually see people with different hair, skin and eye colors. They may have white, brown, black or red hair, with blue, black, brown or green eyes. Many of the people you will see will be Britain people but they all look different because the people of Britain are a mixed race. Britain is and has always been a mixed race society. Early in the Britain history they were invaded by Romans, Saxons, Vikings and Normans armies and later Africans were brought to Britain by force in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries as slaves or servants. Over the years, thousands of people have been forced by persecution( 迫害 ) or hunger to leave France, Ireland, Russia, and other countries, and have settled in Britain. About 8% of the population of Britain today are people from other cultures and races. That is 4.6million people. According to a BBC report in September 2005, immigration （移民人数） made up more than half Britain ’ s population growth from 1991 to 2001. The Guardian newspaper reported in 2007 that the number of immigrants to the UK was 145,000 a year. People moving to Britain have brought their own cultures with them and try to keep them alive. An excellent example of this is the Notting Hill Carnival which celebrates the Caribbean culture and is now a very big part of Britain life today. 56. How did Tony Blair feel about the diversity in Britain? A. Sorry. B. Thankful. C. Pity. D. Anxious. 57. Why can you find people of different races in Britain? A. People like to live in big cities in Britain. B. People from many countries settled in Britain. C. Britain has attracted many overseas tourists. D. Different people have been invited to live there. 58. What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about? A. How Britain became a mixed race society. B. Where people get the strength to come to Britain C. Where to find people with different hair, skin and eye colors. D. How people from different cultures live peacefully in Britain. 59. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. The rate of immigration to Britain increased by over 50%. B. About 8% of the Britain immigrants were Africans. C. The number of the native British today is 52.9 million. D. The total number of immigrants is 145 ，000. 60. What can we infer from the text? A. England is the best place for people to live in. B. Africans came to Britain for some political reasons. C. The British population grew sharply 100 years ago. D. People from other countries affected the British culture. E Electronic devices are changing the way people listen to music. But studies show the devices may be causing hearing loss in many people. Some experts say people may be playing them too loud and for too long. Researchers from Zogby International did a study for the American Speech Language Hearing Association. It involved three hundred high school students and one thousand adults. They were asked about their use of portable music devices. Forty percent of students and adults said they set the sound levels, or volume, at high on their iPods. But students were two times more likely to play the music at a very loud volume. More than half of the students said they would probably not limit their listening time. And about a third said they were not likely to reduce the volume. The study found that more than half of the students and less than forty percent of the adults had at least one kind of hearing loss. Some reported difficulty hearing parts of a discussion between two people. Others said they had to raise volume controls on a television or radio to hear it better. And, some experienced ringing in their ears or other noises. Hearing experts say part of the problem is the listening equipment people are using. They say large earphones that cover the whole ear are probably safer than the smaller ear buds that come with most music players. Ear buds are thought to be less effective than earphones in blocking out foreign noises. Hearing loss may not be apparent for years. But once it happens, it is permanent. About thirty million Americans have some hearing loss. One third of them lost their hearing as a result of loud noises. The American Speech Language Hearing Association is working with manufacturers and government officials on setting rules for use of portable music devices. The group says the best way to protect your hearing is to reduce the volume, limit listening time and using earphones that block out foreign noises. 61. What can be the best title of the text? A. Portable Players Needs Improving B. The Best Way to Use Portable Players C. Portable Players and Hearing Loss D. Students Prefer Portable Players 62. The reason why electronic devices cause hearing loss probably is that ____________. A. the design of the earphones is not perfect B. the volume of the players is set too high C. the users listened to loud music overtime D. the music is not suitable for the listeners 63. What can we know from the text? A. The study is mainly armed at students. B. Most students decide to reduce volume. C. Many students won ’ t reduce listening time. D. Students suffer more seriously than adults. 64. The advice on how to use an electronic device is ____________. ①use an earphone ②use an ear bud ③ listen for a limited time ④turn to a comfortable volume ⑤ listen to light music only ⑥reduce the volume A. ①-③ -⑥ B. ②-⑤-① C.③-⑤-⑥ D. ②-③-④ 65.

Beagle, left Plymouth, England on a journey that was to last five years. The major aim of the voyage was to study the coast of the South America, but if Charles Darwin had not been aboard, few people would now remember that voyage. [2]Today we think of Darwin as a brilliant scientific thinker, but ________ that he was chosen as a member of the Beagle’s crew. He had failed as a student of medicine at Edinburgh and had studied at Cambridge University to become a clergyman （牧师） and then decided not to. In fact, at Cambridge he had spent more time reading books on plants and animals than studying. It was a friend who suggested that he be given a job as naturalist aboard the Beatle. If Darwin had not enjoyed a private income, he would not have gone on the voyage as he received no payment for the job. He went out of simple scientific curiosity and for want of anything else to do. [3]At the beginning of the journey, which had been called the “most famous of the great voyages of scientific discovery ”, Darwin had no thoughts of evolution and only unclear thoughts of it when it finished. But the five years gave Darwin, who had extraordinary powers of observation, a unique opportunity to see and discover. He collected rocks, plants, animals and fossils and discovered seven new species of animals –all in South America. He also made notes of his observations and classified and listed what he had collected with great care. Surprisingly, he never made another scientific trip abroad. [4]At the end of the voyage, the 27-year-old Darwin had a big enough store of information to get the ideas which at last, almost thirty years later, led to The Origin of Species. Often described as “the most important book of the 19th century ”, that book was to change forever man ’s considerations about his origins. 66.

Do you have any suggestions about the choice of American cities? I prefer safe, modern, and big cities. I guess I'd better pre-order a hotel. How about the price for a single boy like me? Is it easy to find Chinese food? I will book a return flight. When I travel between cities in the US, what is the trafic like? Hope to hear from you, and thank you in advance! Best regards! Hua Zhang
