It strikes fear into the hearts of most business owners, but the weak economy does not scare Nancy Mac Mullen, a shoemaker on the island. A look around her Oak Bluffs workshop will tell you why: it is overrun these days with queued shoes.
Ms. Mac Mullen, 56, is operating a two-week waiting list before she even gets a look at your footwear. Same goes for jackets, luggage sets and golf bags. “People are fixing things rather than buying new stuff,” she said. “Yeah business is going well.” As long as people have shoes on their feet, Ms. Mac Mullen will be able to keep her business going.
“This pair of shoes has been in four times. People wear their shoes to death,” she said. Then of course, the factories don’t make shoes as they used to. “They’re cutting costs with the materials. More lightweight manufacturing,” Ms. Mac Mullen said. “I think these designers make shoes for carpeted offices in office buildings.”
But she admits that business hasn’t always been this good, which is why she decided to include clothing and other repair work.
Now she says there are reliable cycles to her business, cycles that mirror somewhat the rhythm of a resort(度假勝地) island in New England. “It gets really busy in the fall, with people pulling out their shoes after summer,” she said.
Ms. Mac Mullen closed last week for a trip to Boston, and the workload waiting for her on her return was huge. “It is hard for me to catch up,” she said. Then she added with a smile, “People have to be patient.”
21. Nancy Mac Mullen’s business is going well mainly because _____.
A. she is offering service of high quality
B. people are trying to save money
C. the economy is in a booming state
D. her shop is in downtown Oak Bluffs
22. What can be learned about Ms. Mac Mullen?
A. She is a patient and skillful lady.
B. She is fond of collecting golf bags.
C. She is dissatisfied with some shoes designers.
D. She is happy few people are wearing leather shoes.
23. It can be learned from the passage that Ms. Mac Mullen _____.
A. started her business about 20 years ago
B. has a heavy workload in autumn
C. is wearing her shoes to death
D. is too busy to take a trip
B
Many people trying to sell homes find that an increase in home prices has turned the market in their favor. But sellers can still get the short end of the deal if they aren’t careful. Here are a few tips for you:
Don’t test your luck. Of course you think anyone who moves into your lovely home should be willing to pay top dollars, especially if you’ve recently invested in some improvements. But listing a home at a price that’s too high above the market price could turn away some buyers.
Buyers noticing that the home still hasn’t sold may begin to assume there’s something wrong with the house and use that as a reasonable excuse for offering a lower price. And if a home hasn’t received any offers after two weeks, it might be time to reset the price.
A price that’s too low can bring about an undesired outcome. Listing your home at or slightly below the market price can have the effect of drawing in a large group of buyers and increase the chances that a home will receive multiple (many) offers. But setting the price too low comes with several risks. One possibility is that buyers will get skeptical of the home that is listed for $ 15,000 to $ 20,000 less than similar homes in the area, especially if it’s not properly marketed. Once again, people might assume there is something wrong with the home and may not bother to look at it.
Spy on the competition. Going to other people’s open houses can give you a better sense of how your home compares to others on the market. Check out the finishes in their kitchens, the size of their backyards and use the information to figure out where your home should fit in the range of the price. But don’t set your pricing just on what you see elsewhere.
24. What does the underline part in paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. To be at a disadvantage B. To get the upper hand
C. To have control over the situation D. To be unable to fit in
25. What should home sellers do according to the passage?
A. Price your house on the basis of its geographic location.
B. Price your house slightly above the market price after decorating it.
C. Change the price if no offer has been received within a week.
D. Change your house at a price slightly below the market price.
26. If you set the price of your h ouse too low, _____.
A. buyers might think it not worthwhile to go to have a look
B. you are likely to come into conflict with the neighborhood sellers
C. your house will be crowded with buyers within a couple of days
D. chances of your house being sold at a better price will be greatly increased
27. What is the benefit of going to other people’s open house?
A. You can pick up some useful lessons on house selling.
B. You can get your pricing mainly based on what you see elsewhere.
C. You can work out how much money you should ask for your home.
D. You can know how to make your house stand out against other houses.
C
There is a world of difference between a horror movie and a comedy- the former scares you to half death while the latter leaves you rolling on the floor with laughter. But try watching them without the background music. You just decide they’re not so different after all.
Music and movies have been intertwined since the dawn of motion picture, even before the voices of actors were recorded. In movies, music helps to provide a sense of time and place, convey ideas about the characters and, most importantly, draw emotions out of the audience.
Studies have long shown that our heart rates and anxiety levels rise and fall depending on the speeds of the music we hear. Film composers armed with this knowledge will use strong changes in music speed to arouse fear among audiences. Slowing the speed of the music will create the opposite effect, bringing about a sense of inner peace.
The use of dissonant(不協(xié)調(diào)的) tones and noises is another technique that heightens tensions. Humans will naturally become uneasy when we hear dissonant sounds because such noises are typically associated with danger, like those that animals make to warn against predators(捕食者). As a result, countless horror movies soundtracks use instrument combinations like double basses and high, screeching(尖刺的) violins.
As vital as it is, the best film music is subtle (巧妙的). All that audiences are supposed to feel is a heightened sense of emotion-they shouldn’t realize what has caused it. Only when the music is taken out of the film should audiences understand its effects.
In keeping with this principle, some film makers are even using what’s called “infrasound(次聲波)” to bring about fear. While we may not be able to hear it because its frequency is below that range of the human ear, infrasound has been proven to cause anxiety, shivering (顫抖) and even sorrow. For example, infrasound was used in the soundtrack of the 2007 horror movie Paranormal Activity, and audiences reported extremely high fear levels despite the lack of action throughout the movie. “It doesn’t affect everyone equally,” said British science writer Philip Ball, but he predicted that “we all see more of it in movies in the future”.
28. What is the article mainly abo ut?
A. The differences between horror movies and comedies.
B. The fearful effect of adding infrasound in movies.
C. How filmmakers employ music to affect our emotions.
D. Why is it important to use background music in a movie.
29. The underlined word in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to _____?
A. well prepared B. partly separated C. changed gradually D. closely linked
30. To arouse fear among audiences, film soundtracks _____.
A. carry odd and loud music inside
B. apply inharmonious sounds and noises
C. slow down the speed of music
D. use instrument combinations like violins and pianos
31. According to the article, infrasound _____.
A. is not easy for the audience to notice.
B. makes the audience at peace
C. has the same effect on audiences
D. is used to make up for the lack of action in movies

第二節(jié)(共5小題：每小題2分，滿分10分)
根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。
About 85 percent of the world are right-handed. Of the remaining 15 percent, most are left-handed with a small number, about one in 100, being able to use either hand. Why? 36
Old Theories
37 Even in the early mid-20th century, natural left-handers were taught to use their right hand anyway. Such theories have been denied by the scientific community.
Genetics
The leading theories regarding why some people are right-handed or left-handed have something to do with genetics. Geneticists believe that natural selection and human activities over time have favored the gene for right handedness. They attribute the difference to two different genes. The D gene produces right-handed people with the C gene are right-handers, some are left-handers and some are either.
Biology
The biological theory relies on the different abilities of different areas of the brain. __38 Others argue that some people do use the right side for language but this theory wouldn’t explain why there are so few left-handers.
The Shield
Some have put forward the idea that left-handedness relates to where a soldier holds his shield. Because the heart is on the left side of the body, a soldier who held his shield with his left hand would be better protected. __39__
Creativity
Some have claimed that left-handers are more creative than right-handers, pointing to a long list of famous left-handers including Leonardo Da Vinci and Albert Einstein as examples. __40__ Critics, however, point out that there are also many right-handed creative people and that there are many photos showing Einstein drawing with his right hand.
A. There is not enough evidence yet to answer the question.
B. Because the left side of the brain handles language in most people, most people
would be right-handed.
C. If this is true, it might help lead to answers.
D. Others point out that according to cave paintings, most were right-handers
before humans started using shields.
E. Left-handedness used to be seen as a sign of brain damage.
F. However, people who suffer some type of injury or have a disability in one hand
frequently learn to use the other.
G. Left-handed people tend to be better at problem-solving skills and have larger vocabularies than the average.

Dear Sir / Madam,
My name is Li Hua. I would like to work as a volunteer for the International Youth Games in 2015.
As a senior high school student, I’m crazy about English and practice speaking En glish in everyday life. For example, I often chat with some foreign net-pals, which really contributes to my fluency in oral English. Besides, I’m open-minded, quick in thought and fond of social practice, which I think is a quality that a qualified volunteer should have. Above all, being a native of the city, I do know a lot about its history and culture. So I’m sure that the foreigners will appreciate my sincere service and enjoy their stay in our city. I would appreciate it if my application could be granted. And I’ll spare no effort to ensure everyone’s satisfaction
Looking forward to your reply.

A look around her Oak Bluffs workshop will tell you why: it is overrun these days with queued shoes 及第二段中的People are fixing things rather than buying new stuff 可知， 修鞋鋪生意火爆是因?yàn)榻?jīng)濟(jì)衰退，人們?yōu)榱耸″X(qián)選擇修鞋而不 是買(mǎi)新鞋。
22. C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。 由第三段中 “They’re cutting costs with the materials. More lightweight manufacturing,” Ms. MacMullen said. “I think these designers make shoes for carpeted offices in office buildings.” 可知，Ms. MacMullen 在抱怨設(shè)計(jì)鞋的人，對(duì)他們表示不滿。
23. B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。 由倒數(shù)第二段中的 It gets really busy in the fall, with people pulling out their shoes after summer 可知，秋天修鞋鋪的生意火爆。
本文是關(guān)于如何才能讓房子賣(mài)出好價(jià)錢(qián)的注意事項(xiàng)
24. A 猜測(cè)詞意題 根據(jù)語(yǔ)境及下文 if you are not careful enough 可以推斷畫(huà)線部分的意思 是“處在劣勢(shì)”。
25. D細(xì)節(jié)理解題 根據(jù)第四段第二句Listing your home at or slightly below the market price can have the effect of drawing in a large group of buyers and increase the chances that a home will receive multiple (many) offers. 可知道答案。
26. A細(xì)節(jié)理解題 根據(jù)第四段中 people might assume there is something wrong with the home and may not bother to look at it. 可知，人們可能認(rèn)為房子有問(wèn)題覺(jué)得沒(méi)有必要花時(shí)間去 看一下。
27. C 推理判斷題 根據(jù)第五段 figure out where your home should fit in the range of the price. 可知答案是C。
電影和音樂(lè)的關(guān)系密切，音樂(lè)對(duì)于電影影響重大，本文描述了電影制作者如何用音樂(lè)來(lái) 渲染氣氛
28. C 主旨大意題 文章開(kāi)頭總寫(xiě)電影和音樂(lè)密切關(guān)系，音樂(lè)對(duì)電影影響重大，接著用大篇 幅描寫(xiě)電影制作者怎樣應(yīng)用音樂(lè)來(lái)渲染氣氛，第四段中的”dissonant tones and noises” 以 及第六段中的”infrasound”等。所以答案是C
29. D詞義猜測(cè)題 第二段中的 “In movies, music helps to provide a sense of time and place, convey ideas about the characters and, most importantly, draw emotions out of the audience.” 文中提到音樂(lè)為電影提供時(shí)間地點(diǎn)場(chǎng)景，傳達(dá)人物感情，最重要是調(diào)動(dòng)觀眾的情緒。由 此判斷intertwine 是”緊密聯(lián)系”的意思。
30. B 細(xì)節(jié)理 解題 通過(guò)第四段的 “The use of dissonant(不協(xié)調(diào)的) tones and noises is another technique that heighten tensions. Humans natura lly became uneasy when we hear dissonant sounds” 可知，刺耳的噪音可以引起觀眾的恐懼。
31. A 細(xì)節(jié)理解題 根據(jù)最后一段的 “While we may not be able to h ear it because its frequency is below that range of the human ear, infrasound has been proven to cause anxiety, shivering (顫抖) and even sorrow.” 可知，次聲波可能不會(huì)被聽(tīng)到，因?yàn)樗念l率低于人的聽(tīng)力范 圍。
這篇文章主要介紹顧客如何從航空公司取回自己被延誤的行李的相關(guān)事宜
32. B 推理判斷題B 通過(guò)文章整體的閱讀可以知道，本文主要講如何處理機(jī)場(chǎng)延誤行李 的問(wèn)題，根據(jù)文中 “For information regarding your delayed baggage, contact the United Airlines Baggage Resolution Center at its 24 hour, seven days a week”可知，本文極可能是 Baggage Resolution Center 發(fā)布的信息。
33. D 細(xì)節(jié)理解題 根據(jù)文中 “Our Baggage Resolution staff will make every effort to call you once a day to keep you updated on our progress.” 可知工作人員將每天通過(guò)電話聯(lián)系乘 客，讓他們及時(shí)了解處理的進(jìn)展。
34. C推理判斷題 根據(jù)文章最后附的行李延誤報(bào)告單可推知，John Jackson已經(jīng)提交了延誤 報(bào)告。

閱讀七選五語(yǔ)篇解讀
為什么有人習(xí)慣用右手，有人習(xí)慣用左手，還有人左右手都很擅長(zhǎng)?目前這個(gè)問(wèn)題還沒(méi)有明確的答案。文 章給出了目前存在的幾種理論。
答案解析
36.A 上句Why?為提出的問(wèn)題，本句應(yīng)對(duì)此進(jìn)行回應(yīng)。A項(xiàng)中的question 與之呼應(yīng)，意為“但是還沒(méi)有足夠的證據(jù)來(lái)回答這個(gè)問(wèn)題。”
37.E 本句位于段落句首，應(yīng)指出Old Theories是什么，E項(xiàng)意為“在過(guò)去左撇子被認(rèn)為是腦部受傷的一種標(biāo)志。”，符合語(yǔ)境。
38.B 生物學(xué)理論認(rèn)為大腦不同的區(qū)域具有不同的能力，B項(xiàng)談到了這個(gè)問(wèn)題， 意為“因?yàn)榇蟛糠秩说淖竽X處理語(yǔ)言，故大部分人都擅長(zhǎng)使用右手。”故B項(xiàng)符合語(yǔ)境。
39.D shield 為關(guān)鍵詞。因?yàn)樾呐K在左邊，所以用左手持盾會(huì)更好地保護(hù)自己。 D項(xiàng)意為“有人指出根據(jù)山洞里的圖畫(huà)可看出，在人類使用盾牌之前，大部分人都用右手。”
40.C 有人宣稱左撇子比使用右手的人更具有創(chuàng)造性，并列舉了很多位左撇子的名人，如達(dá)芬奇、愛(ài)因斯坦等。 C項(xiàng)意為“如果只是實(shí)事的話，會(huì)有助于得出答案”。故選C。
完形填空
祖母一起度過(guò)了假期給作者留下了深刻的印象。無(wú)論如何，祖母遇到別人，都會(huì)熱情地打招呼，看似平常的招呼卻給人帶來(lái)了溫暖。
41. A 根據(jù)下文中it seem like she was always leaning forward to examine something 可知，祖 背是駝(bent)的。
42. D根據(jù)文中的 trying to keep up(努力跟上)可知，作者跟不上祖母的步伐，因此選擇
breathlessly(氣喘吁吁)。Aimlessly “漫無(wú)目的地”; randomly“隨意地”;carelessly“漫不 經(jīng)心地。
43. C根據(jù)上下文理解可知，此處祖母總是greet(問(wèn)候)她見(jiàn)到的人。
44. B根據(jù)后面列舉的問(wèn)候語(yǔ)可知，此處指的是慣常的問(wèn)候語(yǔ)。usual “慣常的，通常的”，符
合句子意思。后文中的personalized(個(gè)性化的/個(gè)人化的)這個(gè)詞也能回扣該題的答案。
45. A根據(jù)本句中的again可知選擇same, 表示遇到同一個(gè)人。
46. B根據(jù)空后的similarly及下文的內(nèi)容可知，此處指的是人們也會(huì)用同樣的方式作出回應(yīng) (respond)。
47. B根據(jù)前文中的 when I was young 可知，應(yīng)該選擇immature(未成熟的,未成人的)，所以
下文提到了對(duì)于祖母問(wèn)候他人行為的不理解。
48. D 根據(jù)下文 what I now realize is that the greetings strengthened…可知，此處指的是小時(shí)候 作者認(rèn)為這些問(wèn)候都是滑稽的廢話，同時(shí)又是在沒(méi)有必要(unnecessarily)地浪費(fèi)時(shí)間。
49. C據(jù)句中bound the people(把人們聯(lián)結(jié)起來(lái))可知應(yīng)該選擇connections(聯(lián)系)。
50. A 根據(jù)全文的內(nèi)容可知，此處這樣一個(gè)問(wèn)候使得人們又歸屬感(a sense of belonging)。
51. B 根據(jù)上下文可知祖母問(wèn)候不是隨意而為，而是有意為之，因此選擇deliberate “故意的， 有意的”。
52. D 根據(jù)語(yǔ)境可知，此處作者相信那些問(wèn)候不單單是出于禮貌。Manners “禮貌，禮節(jié)”。
53. D 根據(jù)上下文 stopping可知，應(yīng)該選擇pause “暫停”。 指問(wèn)候就像是在我們?nèi)粘Ｉ?所充斥的噪音之間按下了暫停鍵。
54. B 根據(jù)語(yǔ)境可知，此處指在我們從家里匆忙趕往工作場(chǎng)所的時(shí)候。rush “沖，匆忙”。
55. A 根據(jù)語(yǔ)境可知，此處指去接送孩子?？瞻滋帒?yīng)該和drop off(讓..下車(chē))的意思相反，故 而pick up 符合句意。
56. B 此處意思為停下車(chē)去辨認(rèn)你前面的人，好像簡(jiǎn)單地說(shuō)一句“我看到你了”。
57. D 參見(jiàn)上題解析。 simply “簡(jiǎn)單地，僅僅”
58. C 祖母教育(educate)作者，在干正事(business)之前總會(huì)有時(shí)間去問(wèn)候別人。
59. A 參見(jiàn)上題解析。
60. D 根據(jù)上下文語(yǔ)境可知，此處指的是我們承認(rèn)彼此的獨(dú)特的存在(presence)時(shí)，作者 相信我們能夠使我們的社會(huì)更加充實(shí)、豐富。

A
My mother has always instilled in me the importance of education. Education is essential. It will help me get accepted to college if I perform well academically and advance my opportunities for success in the future. Most jobs now require at least a high school diploma, and for many jobs, a college degree is preferred. It is important that all students have excellent educators in their life to help them achieve and have the opportunity to go to college, get a job, support themselves and their family, and impact the community.
As we celebrate and honor all teachers during Teacher Appreciation Week, I’ve re flected on the impact my teachers have had, and will continue to have, in my life. From Mr. Bowker, who challenged me in math, to Mr. Bernsteen, my health teacher who taught me the value of hard work, my teachers have helped shape the student I am today. But one of the teachers who left a lasting impression on me was my s ummer school teacher, Mr. Davis, who impacted me beyond the classroom. He found time to connect with me on a personal level and talk to me after class. I felt like Mr. Davis cared about my academic success and was committed to setting an example of what’s possible.
Mr. Davis could relate to what it was like to be a rising ninth-grade black male in today’s society. He taught me how to speak up confidently and share my ideas with others. He told me that I was brilliant and that when I spoke, the world should listen. And when I would put my hand down because I was unsure of my answer, Mr. Davis would immediately say, “No guts, no glory.” He never made me feel inadequate; he encouraged me to always pursue knowledge because he, too, was learning every day. Mr. Davis helped me navigate the challenges and take advantage of the opportunities.
I think having more black male teachers like Mr. Davis in the classroom could increase students’ success. They would share the background and experiences of many of their students and help build long-lasting teacher/student relationships. But, unfortunately, the likelihood that students of color in Nevada will have a teacher that looks like them is one of the lowest in the country.
As the student population becomes more ethnically diverse, teachers in Nevada still are predominantly (顯著地)white. According to a 2012 Education Week report, in the Clark County School District, nearly 70 percent of students identified as students of color, but 76 percent of teachers were white. The numbers for black male teachers are more discouraging. Just 2 percent of teachers nationwide are black men.
But you can help change the numbers. Whether you decide to study education in college or graduate school, or apply to programs in Las Vegas such as Teach For America, I hope more black males will consider teaching as a career.
My peers and I need more examples of excellence and success in classrooms—examples who look like us. You can be the model to impact our life and push us to achieve. You can ensure that, when we look to the front of the room, we can see a little bit of ourselves reflected back.
21. Mr. Davis left the author with a very deep impression mainly because he ________.
A. was extremely knowledgeable and hard-working
B. was a role model to teach hearts and change minds
C. spent much time helping the author with his homework
D. kept in close touch with the author even after graduation
22. The underlined word “guts” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ________.
A. bravery B. connection C. opportunity D. qualification
23. By writing the passage, the author intends to ________.
A. show students’ love for their teachers B. appeal to more black males to be teachers
C. express sympathy for students of color D. advertise for black male teachers
B
Thousands of taxi drivers in Shenyang, Liaoning Province, reportedly blocked streets with their vehicles on Sunday in protest against unlicensed vehicles using taxi-hiring apps (打車(chē)軟件) and apps-based car rental companies providing passenger services, including high-end cars. Although the drivers also complained about the withdrawal of the fuel subsidy(補(bǔ)貼) by the government, their main complaint was the loss of business because of the rising number of Internet-based car services companies.
On Wednesday, news reports came that Beijing transport authorities will take measures to stop the illegal “taxi business” of private cars through the newly rising Internet apps, following the footsteps of Shenyang and Nanjing.
It is not yet clear how the Shenyang city government will handle the issue and whether it will declare the services offered by market leaders such as Didi Dache, a taxi-hiring app provider backed by Tencent Holdings, and Kuaidi Dache illegal. But Shanghai transport regulators have set a rule, by banning Didi Zhuanche, or car services offered by Didi Dache in December.
Such regulations will cause a setback to the car-hiring companies and investors that are waiting to cash in on the potentially booming business. Just last month, Didi Dache got $700 million in funding from global investors, including Singapore state investment company Temasek Holdings, Russian investment company DST Global and Tencent. Besides, the market is uncertain that Kuaidi Dache is about to finalize its latest round of funding after getting $800 million from global investors.
Regulatory uncertainties, however, could cast a shadow on the future of the Internet-based car-hiring services, which have become popular in most of China’s big cities. To be fair, these companies’ business model is anything but bad. For example, Didi Zhuanche works side by side with established car rental companies to provide high-end car service mainly for businesspeople through the Internet and mobile phone apps.
Every link in this business model chain has legal companies and services. Therefore, it is hard to define it as illegal and ban it.
24. Why did taxi drivers in Shenyang block the streets with their vehicles?
A. Because they wanted the authority to increase their driving allowances.
B. Because they wanted to be taught how to use the taxi-hiring apps.
C. Because they wanted to appeal to passengers not to hire the private cars.
D. Because they wanted to make their main complaints known to the authority.
25. The author’s attitude to banning internet car-hiring service is __________.
A. positive B. negative C. neutral D. unclear
26. Which of the following statements is True?
A. All the taxi drivers in China benefit a lot from taxi-hiring apps.
B. Taxi drivers mainly complained about the withdrawal of the fuel subsidy by the government.
C. The Internet-based car-hiring services have become popular all over China.
D. The Internet-based car-hiring services are challenging the traditional taxi industry.
27. We can learn from the passage that __________.
A. Shenyang forbade apps-based car rental companies
B. Shanghai is the second city banning Didi Zhuanche
C. it is not difficult to picture the apps-based car rental companies illegal
D. some international investment companies have strong faith in the future of apps-based car rental companies
C
Service Foods makes it easier for cooks to reduce mealtime complains. Service Foods is so confident that they can reduce complaints, in fact, that the company is offering a series of mealtime complaint-reduction tips.
According to a representative of Service Foods, complaints can occur when busy cooks serve substandard, low quality meats. As products sit in packaging in the meat case at the store, the meat can age out too much. The natural flavor disappears, and it can be replaced with an undesirable strange flavor. According to Service Foods, complaints from children are common when you serve substandard meats. K ids may not have the words to describe why they don't like the meats, but they're certainly willing to express their displeasure. By serving meats from Service Foods, complaints can be reduced. Service Foods meats are all natural and organic, meaning the meats have-no chemicals or water or colorings that could change the taste. And the meats are flash-frozen right after cutting, so they won't taste strange to your children.
If you're facing different types of complaints, Service Foods may still be able to help you. Some families have mealtime boredom.

參考范文：
Dear Helen,
Thank you for your email. Now I would like to tell you something about the extra-curricular reading in our school. As a matter of fact, most of the students in our school haven’t realized the importance of reading, especially extra-curricular reading. Therefore, the time and energy devoted to reading are limited. Besides, some students prefer to read comic books, magazines and newspapers rather than classic reading materials.
I think the reasons for such phenomenon are various. First of all, quite a lot of students are burdened with too much homework. Still others haven’t formed a good habit of reading. They would rather spend time on TVs or computer games instead.
However, reading is obviously beneficial to both our life and study, which can not only broaden our horizon but enrich our life as well. So it is quite necessary for us students to take up reading and for teachers to lessen the amount of homework so that we can have more time to read.
Best Wishes.
Yours,
Li Hua

Dear Mr. Rupp,
The day I met you was the first day of high school. We liked each other immediately. You gave me a lot of advice over the next four years, like how I should get my ass to Berkeley where I belonged. I’m still there, by the way. I wish you were still around, too.
I remember your laugh, which would start with a rough guffaw(狂笑) and end with a hacking smoker’s cough that would make even the most rebellious (叛逆的) teenager decide to lay off the cigarettes. I remember the way you didn’t lower your standards, yet still refused to give up on us. You were tough on us, and we were tough on you. Love is tough sometimes.
The last time I wrote you a letter, it was 2005---four years after I graduated. I had just become a teacher, like you, and it had given me a new appreciation for the work you did with countless high school students over the years.
It’s hard to say what I’ll miss the most about you. There are simply too many memories to sort through those four years, and it hurts to think you’ll never read this letter. I want to believe that you knew how much you meant to your family , your students, your community, and your colleagues, but that would be a lot of realization to handle, even for you.
You changed the lives of everyone around you. Even now, you are reminding me to cherish life and its brevity and beauty, and to tell the people I love how much they mean to me before it is too late.
Dear teacher, dear mentor, and dear friend----I miss you and all that is about you. God bless you in Heaven.
To infinity and beyond,
Teresea

C
Though there are about 400 languages from all over the world that are in danger of disappearing completely，Zoque¬Ayapaneco，a native Mexican language is considered the most likely to become extinct，because the only two people in the world that speak it fluently do not talk to each other!
And，it's not because they live in different countries，states or even villages. In fact，Manuel Segovia and Isidro Velazquez，both in their 70s，live within 500 yards of each other，in the village of Ayapa in the Southern Mexican State of Tabasco. They，however，refuse to communicate because they simply don't have much in common. Segovia is apparently a little flank in nature while Velazquez is described as shy.
Segovia was at least able to talk in Zoque¬Ayapanece with his brother until he passed away about 12 years ago，and still manages to practice it with his family，especially his son Manuel，who for the last five years has been trying to learn it and hopes to become fluent enough to teach it to the next generati on. Velazquez on the other hand，has not been heard speaking in the language with anybody.
The two men say the language used to be widely spoken in the village，but the younger gener ation refused to learn it for fear of being laughed at，and it therefore began to die a slow death，as the elders passed away.
Unless the two men get their acts together，the only way to hear the language will be to either listen to Manuel's not-¬so-¬fluent statement or see them talk in a documentary entitled “Lengua Muerta” (Dead Language) that is being filmed to capture Zoque Ayapaneco and 364 other native Mexican languages that are in a similar state.
We sure hope Segovia and Velazquez soon find something common to talk about. Maybe the fact is that the language is dying and that they should start encouraging and teaching the next generation together.
29. What do we know about Zoque¬ Ayapaneco?
A.It was widely used twelve years ago.
B.It is a Southern American language.
C.It will be popular in Mexico in the near future.
D.It will be dying out if no effective measures are taken.
30. The reason why Segovia and Velazquez don't talk to each other is that ________.
A.they both are too shy B.they have no similarity in their character
C.they are too familiar to talk D.they live in different villages
31. From the passage，we can conclude that________.
A.altogether 365 languages are becoming extinct in the world.
B.Segovia and Velazquez will communicate with each other soon
C.the government cares a lot about the protection of Zoque¬ Ayapaneco
D.we can hear the language from Manuel or documentary “ Lengua Muerta”
32. What's the main idea of the passage?
A.World's endangered languages are being filmed.
B.Villagers are trying to protect their old language.
C.An endangered language is spoken by only two people.
D.There are a lot of languages in Mexico.

What should we do when we are in a bad situation? Some may choose to give up. But is that what we should do? The following news report may get you encouraged.
With a population of 156 million, Bangladesh has one of the largest populations in the world. What makes the situation worse is that most of the country is situated on the low-lying Ganges delta(三角洲). As a result, it often suffers flooding, especially during the rainy season from July to October. In this period, the rivers rise as much as 12 feet. In such situations, people can only get to certain places by boat.
The problems are particularly serious in the Chalanbeel region, a poor area where people survive by farming on the rich delta soil when it is not underwater. But many parents there don’t want to send their children to school and there are not enough teachers. As a result, many kids living there do not attend school on a regular basis. The problem becomes worse during the rainy season when land schools cannot be reached. Many students never return to school after the forced breaks.
How to help students attend school regularly? 22-year-old Bangladeshi architect Mohammed Rezwan decided to take action.

Dear Sir，
Thank you for invite me to the summer English course in your school. As for your choice between the two
courses, I prefer the four-week course because of this will allow me more time to do some traveling but make a
few new friends. Of all the subject I’m learning at school, I like English better. I had been learning English for
eleven years but my spoken English remains poorly. Therefore, I really hope to take this chance to improve it.
If possible, I’d like to stay with a family for a couple of days in order that I can know some customs in
England, what I’m particularly interested in. I believe I will have wonderful time this summer.
Yours truly,
Li Hua
