1. Hello, new students! This is a message from the Students Union Committee. We've
been at the university for at least a year now, so we can give you some good tips.
Don't worry - we remember being new and making a lot of mistakes! And we haven't
forgotten feeling a little bit scared. First, as you know, there are no longer any

grants. If you borrow money from the government, remember that like all loans, you
have to pay it back. Spending all your money in the first week is not a sensible
strategy. Try to make a budget for each term and stick to it. But if you are
struggling to make ends meet, you can get a part-time job-restaurants and bars in the
town take lots of students on in the evenings and at weekends. Come and see us for
advice. Stop worrying about making new friends. Start to join the sports and hobbies
societies - they're cheap and you can begin meeting a lot of people that way. It's a
great chance to take up a completely new hobby. Living in a new city a long way from
home can be very stressful. One tip, don't forget your parents. After all, they are
paying your tuition fees here. You will be very busy working and enjoying yourself,
but stop to phone your parents sometimes and don't forget to go home for the weekend
from time to time. And remember to take your dirty washing! Finally, remember to work
hard and play hard. Go on working steadily towards your first degree (BA or BSc)
throughout your three years here - try to keep things in perspective. You'll always
find someone in the Student Union office if you need to talk. 1). What does the word
"scared" mean in the second paragraph? 2). What does the word "grants" mean in the
third paragraph? 3). The sentence "But if you are struggling to make ends meet, at
weekends" in the third paragraph implies_________. 4). From the fifth paragraph, we
can infer that in order to overcome the stress of living faraway from home, _________.
5). This passage is written for the purpose of _________.
(1). A excitedB frightenedC worried
B
(2). A money given by the government to support the students' study, which they
needn't pay backB money from the government which the students need to pay backC
money from the school which is similar to scholarship
A
(3). A if you are short of money, you can find a part-time job in the
restaurants and bars in your spare timeB if you want to have a better life than
others, you can find a part-time job in your spare timeC restaurants and bars need
more hands in the evenings and at weekends
A
(4). A it's better for new students to talk to their parents over the phone
from time to timeB new students need to do their washing themselvesC new students
should keep themselves as busy as possible so that they will not miss home
A
(5). A telling new students the problems facing them in the universityB
telling new students how to budget their moneyC offering new students some advice
about their university life

1. Benjamin Disraeli, the famous nineteenth century prime minister, said, "London is
not a city, - it is a nation." Today this is an understatement; London, with its vast
range of different ethnic groups, is a world. Certainly, London is the most culturally
diverse city in the world. The city was founded by the Romans and since then new
arrivals have constantly added to its character and prosperity. Within 10 years 40% of
Londoners will be from ethnic minority groups, including the growing number of
Londoners of mixed ethnic origin, but most of them will have been born in Britain.
Children of Caribbean-Chinese marriages will go to school with children of RussianIrish couples. None of them will be English but all of them will be Londoners. Most of
Britain's ethnic minority residents live in the capital, speaking over 300 languages.
Nearly all of the African population and many of the Caribbean population of Britain
live in London (83% and 58% respectively); 39% of the Chinese population of Britain
and 36% of the Asian population of Britain live in London. The largest migrant
community is from the Irish Republic with 256,000 people, 3.8% of the total population
of London. There are an estimated 330,000 refugees and asylum seekers living in
London, with most recent arrivals coming from Eastern Europe, North Africa and
Kurdistan. Young people, in particular, are skilled at dealing with a large number of
different and hybrid cultures. They themselves often have several different ethnic
identities since their parents and grandparents may come from several different
backgrounds and their friends and partners do also. They are "skilled cross-cultural

travelers" without leaving their home-town. 1Why does the writer think that Benjamin
Disraeli's statement is an understatement? Because he thinks London is _________. 2.
London is regarded as the most culturally diverse city in the world due to the
following facts EXCEPT that _________. 3. Ethnic minority groups will make up
_________ of the London population in the future. 4. The last paragraph mainly tells
us in London _________. 5. The passage mainly deals with _________.
(1). A a miniature world thanks to its great cultural diversityB even larger
than some countries in the worldC not a nation at all
A

1. Traffic in India means a mixture of all kinds of vehicles on the road. About
700,000 new cars (1) in India in the last twelve months, and about twice that many

1. Mrs Sharp, a large, red-faced woman in her late sixties, has lived in Greenleas, a
'new town' in the countryside outside London, since 1958. Before that she lived in
Bethnal Green, an area of inner London. She was moved to Greenleas by the local
authorities when her old house was demolished. She came from a large family with six
girls and two boys, and she grew up among brothers, sisters, uncles, aunts,
grandparents and cousins. When she married her boyfriend from school at eighteen, they
went on living with her parents, and her first child was brought up more by her mother
than by herself, because she always worked. As the family grew, they moved out of
their parents' house to a flat. It was in the next street, and their life was still
that of the extended family. 'All my family used to live around Denby Street,' said
Mrs Sharp, 'and we were always in and out of each other's houses.' When she went to
the shops, she used to call in on her mother to see if she wanted anything. Every day
she would visit one sister or another and see a nephew or niece at the corner shop or
in the market. "You always knew 90% of the people you saw in the street everyday,
either they were related to you or you were at school with them," she said. When her
babies were born (she had two sons and a daughter), she said, "All my sisters and
neighbours would help - they used to come and make a cup of tea, or help in some other
way." And every Saturday night there was a family party. It was at Mrs Sharp's
mother's house. "Of course we all know each other very well. You have to learn to get
on with each other. I had one neighbour who was always poking her nose into our
business. She was forever asking questions and gossiping. But you had to put up with
everyone, whatever they were like." 1. Why did Mrs. Sharp have to move to Greenleas?
2. When she got married, she lived ________. 3. Why did she know so many people? 4.

1. Jules Verne's most famous book is "Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Sea". (A
"league" is an old word 1 about three miles.) In those days submarines had not been
2 , but he describes an underwater ship very like a modern submarine. The captain of
the submarine, called Captain Nemo, and his men have many strange adventures and find
many strange things 3 the bottom of the ocean. He was a very good 4 . His characters
often did surprising and sometimes impossible things, but they always seemed 5 real
people. In another book, "Around the World in Eighty Days", Jules Verne creates Mr.
Fogg, the hero, 6 made a bet that he would travel around the world in eighty days.
Nowadays this may seem 7 to you, but in those days there were no planes or even cars.
Mr. Fogg and his servant traveled in many different 8 , even on an elephant at one
time! If you want to know their result, you should read the book. In all his books
Jules Verne used his scientific knowledge 9 his imagination in describing future
inventions. 10 he was wrong, of course, but often the accuracy of his descriptions is
very clever.

1. Anna is our only daughter. My wife and I have two sons, and Anna is the youngest in
the family, but she's twenty-five now. Anna was not well when she was little. It was a
very worrying time and she stayed at home a lot. She was seen first by the local
doctors, and then she was sent to a specialist in Cardiff where she was diagnosed as
diabetic. It was my wife who mainly took care of her then. I am not very good at
looking after little children. I suppose I am a bit traditional in that way. But when
she grew up a bit, we spent a lot of time together. We loved walking and talking and
discussing life. We still love it today. We get on very well. Although she looks like
me (tall, dark hair, dark eyes and dark skin), she takes after her mother: she is
artistic and musical, and like her mother she's attractive. She loves looking after
animals - she has two dogs, three cats and a goat. She lives in a little house in the
country. I like animals too. I like riding and hunting, but Anna hates hunting. She
thinks it's cruel. We discuss it a lot. She is quiet and a bit shy with strangers. I
am more outgoing and I love meeting new people. But she's not boring - actually, she's
very funny. She always has lots of stories of her life in the country. She's an art
and music teacher in a little village school. She is very good-natured. Anna says we
brought her up well, and she's going to bring her children up to be honest and loyal.
But I think she was easy to bring up. I don't remember ever telling her off. 1

1. Molly Wilson had been a dancer and a mother for many years when she decided to sail
round the world to raise money for charity. As a child she had trained as a ballet
dancer, but at 15 she had grown too tall for classical ballet, so she became a member
of a pop dance team. She got married, and after she had children she retired from show
business to bring them up. They grew up, and when they were 18 they left home. She
says, "When I decided to do the round-the-world race, my husband thought I was bored
because the children had left home. He was also worried because I had never sailed
before. I was not bored, but I had met some people who told me about the race. They
had taken part in it, but they had only done one section, say, from New Zealand to
Australia. I wanted to do the whole ten-month journey." Before Molly left she did a
lot of training, but it hadn't prepared her for the worst weather which they
experienced. She tells one story. 'One night the sea was very rough and it was very
cold. I had gone downstairs when a huge wave smashed into the boat and injured two men
on the deck. One of the men couldn't move because he had broken his leg. They were
taken to hospital by helicopter. That was the worst time.' By the end of October last
year, she had raised more than 50,000 for charity. She says, 'Sometimes I ask myself,
what did I do? How did I do it? But then I think, it's the same as being a dancer.
Before I left on the trip, I had trained hard. I had got very fit and had prepared

myself completely. Then on the trip I was simply a good team member.' 1. What does the
word 'extraordinary' mean in the title? 2. The sentence "my husband thought I was
bored " in Para. 4 meant that my husband thought I felt_________. 3. The word
'section' in Para. 4 most probably means here _________. 4. Which of the following is
nearest (closest) in meaning to 'rough' in the sentence 'One night the sea was very
rough ' in Para. 5? 5. The last paragraph suggests that _________.
(1). A very ordinaryB very unusual and surprisingC not special
B
(2). A dissatisfied because I had nothing better to do at homeB annoyed
because I had to wait long for my children to come back homeC sad because all the
children left me when they grew up
A
(3). A group of the jobB part of the trainingC part of the route of sail
C
(4). A not exactB difficultC not smooth because of huge waves
C
(5). A the qualities she needed for the trip were the same as those for a
dancerB many years of dancing had already prepared her for the sail completely, so
she needn't do anything before the journeyC she should not forget dancing during the
trip

1. When I was a little girl, my brothers and I collected stamps for many years. My
mother didn't use to work during the week, but she worked in the post office near our
house on Saturdays, and she used to bring home all the new stamps as soon as they were
issued. On the day of the World Cup football final in London in 1966, we were very
excited because England were playing West Germany in the final. When we were having
lunch, my mother told us to go to the post office straightaway after the match if
England won, but she didn't tell us why. At 2 o'clock my mother went back to work as
usual, while the rest of the family were watching the football on TV at home. Although
she wasn't watching the match, she was listening to it on the radio. England won
4:2 and so my brothers and I ran to the post office. As we burst in, my mother was
standing behind the counter. She was waiting to sell us a very special limited edition
with ENGLAND WINNERS on each stamp. We were over the moon. We still have it
todayand perhaps it is worth a lot of money. 1. This passage mainly tells us

1. PAT the Dog Did you know there are some very special dogs doing good work in
our hospital wards? These are PAT (Pets As Therapy) dogs. Doctors and nurses are
recognising the benefits of pets more and more - particularly for children, people
with mental illnesses and elderly people who are separated from their own pets or have
had to give up their pets. Stroking and playing with a pet is a calming experience
and something to look forward to. One hospital reported that a man with a mental
illness, who hadn't spoken for years, first stroked and played with a visiting dog and
then started talking to it. Today, around 4,500 dogs and 50 cats and their
volunteer owners are at work in the UK bringing comfort and pleasure to over 100,000
people in hospital. There are many other 'working dogs'. There are guard dogs,
police dogs, hunting dogs and dogs for the blind. Disabled people benefit greatly.
Take the case of Alan Smythe, who has to visit hospital every month. Some things are
difficult for him because he is in a wheelchair. But his life has altered dramatically
since he got a dog, Tess, from the charity 'Dogs for the Disabled'. 'She helps me to
get dressed, and she brings me my socks and shoes. She fetches the newspaper from the
shop, and she passes me the phone when it rings. I feel so much better too. It's like
having a really good friend. She comes with me to hospital. Once, she saved my life. I
am a diabetic and one day my blood sugar level dropped, and when I was going into a
coma she went next door and she alerted my neighbour. He gave me an insulin
injection.' 1. Which of the following statement is TRUE according to the passage? 2.
Pets are particularly beneficial to the following EXCEPT _________. 3. The first
sentence of Para. 2 suggests _________. 4. The dog helps Alan do the following EXCEPT
_________. 5. The sentence "when I was going to a comma " means that __________.
(1). A All the dogs are allowed into the hospitals to visit the patients.B
Only some special dogs can help the patients feel better.C Doctors and nurses doubt
if pets can bring comfort to the patients.
B
(2). A childrenB people with mental illnessC the elderly people who live
alone
C
(3). A pets can make people become quiet and attentiveB people feel
uncomfortable when they touch and play with a petC people feel relaxed and hopeful
when they touch and play with a pet
C

1. Hello, new students! This is a message from the Students Union Committee. We've

been at the university for at least a year now, so we can give you some good tips.
Don't worry - we remember being new and making a lot of mistakes! And we haven't
forgotten feeling a little bit scared. First, as you know, there are no longer any
grants. If you borrow money from the government, remember that like all loans, you
have to pay it back. Spending all your money in the first week is not a sensible
strategy. Try to make a budget for each term and stick to it. But if you are
struggling to make ends meet, you can get a part-time job-restaurants and bars in the
town take lots of students on in the evenings and at weekends. Come and see us for
advice. Stop worrying about making new friends. Start to join the sports and hobbies
societies - they're cheap and you can begin meeting a lot of people that way. It's a
great chance to take up a completely new hobby. Living in a new city a long way from
home can be very stressful. One tip, don't forget your parents. After all, they are
paying your tuition fees here. You will be very busy working and enjoying yourself,
but stop to phone your parents sometimes and don't forget to go home for the weekend
from time to time. And remember to take your dirty washing! Finally, remember to work
hard and play hard. Go on working steadily towards your first degree (BA or BSc)
throughout your three years here - try to keep things in perspective. You'll always
find someone in the Student Union office if you need to talk. 1). What does the word
"scared" mean in the second paragraph? 2). What does the word "grants" mean in the
third paragraph? 3). The sentence "But if you are struggling to make ends meet, at
weekends" in the third paragraph implies_________. 4). From the fifth paragraph, we
can infer that in order to overcome the stress of living faraway from home, _________.
5). This passage is written for the purpose of _________.
(1). A excitedB frightenedC worried
B
(2). A money given by the government to support the students' study, which they
needn't pay backB money from the government which the students need to pay backC
money from the school which is similar to scholarship
A
(3). A if you are short of money, you can find a part-time job in the
restaurants and bars in your spare timeB if you want to have a better life than
others, you can find a part-time job in your spare timeC restaurants and bars need
more hands in the evenings and at weekends
A
(4). A it's better for new students to talk to their parents over the phone
from time to timeB new students need to do their washing themselvesC new students
should keep themselves as busy as possible so that they will not miss home
A
(5). A telling new students the problems facing them in the universityB

1. Mrs Sharp, a large, red-faced woman in her late sixties, has lived in Greenleas, a
'new town' in the countryside outside London, since 1958. Before that she lived in
Bethnal Green, an area of inner London. She was moved to Greenleas by the local
authorities when her old house was demolished. She came from a large family with six
girls and two boys, and she grew up among brothers, sisters, uncles, aunts,
grandparents and cousins. When she married her boyfriend from school at eighteen, they
went on living with her parents, and her first child was brought up more by her mother
than by herself, because she always worked. As the family grew, they moved out of
their parents' house to a flat. It was in the next street, and their life was still
that of the extended family. 'All my family used to live around Denby Street,' said
Mrs Sharp, 'and we were always in and out of each other's houses.' When she went to
the shops, she used to call in on her mother to see if she wanted anything. Every day
she would visit one sister or another and see a nephew or niece at the corner shop or
in the market. "You always knew 90% of the people you saw in the street everyday,
either they were related to you or you were at school with them," she said. When her
babies were born (she had two sons and a daughter), she said, "All my sisters and
neighbours would help - they used to come and make a cup of tea, or help in some other
way." And every Saturday night there was a family party. It was at Mrs Sharp's
mother's house. "Of course we all know each other very well. You have to learn to get
on with each other. I had one neighbour who was always poking her nose into our
business. She was forever asking questions and gossiping. But you had to put up with
everyone, whatever they were like." 1. Why did Mrs. Sharp have to move to Greenleas?
2. When she got married, she lived ________. 3. Why did she know so many people? 4.
The sentence "I had one neighbour who was always poking her nose into our business."
in the last Para. means __________. 5. What does this passage mainly deal with?
(1). A Because she had to work there.B Because she didn't like the old place
at all.C Because her house in the downtown area was knocked down.
C
(2). A together with her parents all the timeB together with her parents for

1. Anna is our only daughter. My wife and I have two sons, and Anna is the youngest in
the family, but she's twenty-five now. Anna was not well when she was little. It was a
very worrying time and she stayed at home a lot. She was seen first by the local
doctors, and then she was sent to a specialist in Cardiff where she was diagnosed as
diabetic. It was my wife who mainly took care of her then. I am not very good at
looking after little children. I suppose I am a bit traditional in that way. But when
she grew up a bit, we spent a lot of time together. We loved walking and talking and
discussing life. We still love it today. We get on very well. Although she looks like
me (tall, dark hair, dark eyes and dark skin), she takes after her mother: she is
artistic and musical, and like her mother she's attractive. She loves looking after
animals - she has two dogs, three cats and a goat. She lives in a little house in the
country. I like animals too. I like riding and hunting, but Anna hates hunting. She
thinks it's cruel. We discuss it a lot. She is quiet and a bit shy with strangers. I
am more outgoing and I love meeting new people. But she's not boring - actually, she's
very funny. She always has lots of stories of her life in the country. She's an art
and music teacher in a little village school. She is very good-natured. Anna says we
brought her up well, and she's going to bring her children up to be honest and loyal.
But I think she was easy to bring up. I don't remember ever telling her off. 1
According to the passage, when Anna was a child, she _________. 2. It can be inferred
from the passage the author thinks looking after little children is ___________. 3.
What does 'take after' mean in the first sentence of Para. 2? 4. My daughter and I

the submarine, called Captain Nemo, and his men have many strange adventures and find
many strange things 3 the bottom of the ocean. He was a very good 4 . His characters
often did surprising and sometimes impossible things, but they always seemed 5 real
people. In another book, "Around the World in Eighty Days", Jules Verne creates Mr.
Fogg, the hero, 6 made a bet that he would travel around the world in eighty days.
Nowadays this may seem 7 to you, but in those days there were no planes or even cars.
Mr. Fogg and his servant traveled in many different 8 , even on an elephant at one
time! If you want to know their result, you should read the book. In all his books
Jules Verne used his scientific knowledge 9 his imagination in describing future
inventions. 10 he was wrong, of course, but often the accuracy of his descriptions is
very clever.

1. Molly Wilson had been a dancer and a mother for many years when she decided to sail
round the world to raise money for charity. As a child she had trained as a ballet
dancer, but at 15 she had grown too tall for classical ballet, so she became a member
of a pop dance team. She got married, and after she had children she retired from show
business to bring them up. They grew up, and when they were 18 they left home. She
says, "When I decided to do the round-the-world race, my husband thought I was bored
because the children had left home. He was also worried because I had never sailed
before. I was not bored, but I had met some people who told me about the race. They
had taken part in it, but they had only done one section, say, from New Zealand to
Australia. I wanted to do the whole ten-month journey." Before Molly left she did a
lot of training, but it hadn't prepared her for the worst weather which they
experienced. She tells one story. 'One night the sea was very rough and it was very
cold. I had gone downstairs when a huge wave smashed into the boat and injured two men
on the deck. One of the men couldn't move because he had broken his leg. They were
taken to hospital by helicopter. That was the worst time.' By the end of October last
year, she had raised more than 50,000 for charity. She says, 'Sometimes I ask myself,
what did I do? How did I do it? But then I think, it's the same as being a dancer.
Before I left on the trip, I had trained hard. I had got very fit and had prepared
myself completely. Then on the trip I was simply a good team member.' 1. What does the
word 'extraordinary' mean in the title? 2. The sentence "my husband thought I was
bored " in Para. 4 meant that my husband thought I felt_________. 3. The word
'section' in Para. 4 most probably means here _________. 4. Which of the following is

(1). A very ordinaryB very unusual and surprisingC not special

(2). A dissatisfied because I had nothing better to do at homeB annoyed
because I had to wait long for my children to come back homeC sad because all the
children left me when they grew up

1. PAT the Dog Did you know there are some very special dogs doing good work in
our hospital wards? These are PAT (Pets As Therapy) dogs. Doctors and nurses are
recognising the benefits of pets more and more - particularly for children, people
with mental illnesses and elderly people who are separated from their own pets or have
had to give up their pets. Stroking and playing with a pet is a calming experience
and something to look forward to. One hospital reported that a man with a mental
illness, who hadn't spoken for years, first stroked and played with a visiting dog and
then started talking to it. Today, around 4,500 dogs and 50 cats and their
volunteer owners are at work in the UK bringing comfort and pleasure to over 100,000
people in hospital. There are many other 'working dogs'. There are guard dogs,
police dogs, hunting dogs and dogs for the blind. Disabled people benefit greatly.
Take the case of Alan Smythe, who has to visit hospital every month. Some things are
difficult for him because he is in a wheelchair. But his life has altered dramatically
since he got a dog, Tess, from the charity 'Dogs for the Disabled'. 'She helps me to
get dressed, and she brings me my socks and shoes. She fetches the newspaper from the
shop, and she passes me the phone when it rings. I feel so much better too. It's like

having a really good friend. She comes with me to hospital. Once, she saved my life. I
am a diabetic and one day my blood sugar level dropped, and when I was going into a
coma she went next door and she alerted my neighbour. He gave me an insulin
injection.' 1. Which of the following statement is TRUE according to the passage? 2.
Pets are particularly beneficial to the following EXCEPT _________. 3. The first
sentence of Para. 2 suggests _________. 4. The dog helps Alan do the following EXCEPT

700,000 new cars (1) in India in the last twelve months, and about twice that many

1. Anna is our only daughter. My wife and I have two sons, and Anna is the youngest in
the family, but she's twenty-five now. Anna was not well when she was little. It was a
very worrying time and she stayed at home a lot. She was seen first by the local
doctors, and then she was sent to a specialist in Cardiff where she was diagnosed as
diabetic. It was my wife who mainly took care of her then. I am not very good at
looking after little children. I suppose I am a bit traditional in that way. But when
she grew up a bit, we spent a lot of time together. We loved walking and talking and
discussing life. We still love it today. We get on very well. Although she looks like
me (tall, dark hair, dark eyes and dark skin), she takes after her mother: she is
artistic and musical, and like her mother she's attractive. She loves looking after
animals - she has two dogs, three cats and a goat. She lives in a little house in the
country. I like animals too. I like riding and hunting, but Anna hates hunting. She
thinks it's cruel. We discuss it a lot. She is quiet and a bit shy with strangers. I
am more outgoing and I love meeting new people. But she's not boring - actually, she's
very funny. She always has lots of stories of her life in the country. She's an art
and music teacher in a little village school. She is very good-natured. Anna says we
brought her up well, and she's going to bring her children up to be honest and loyal.
But I think she was easy to bring up. I don't remember ever telling her off. 1

1. When I was a little girl, my brothers and I collected stamps for many years. My
mother didn't use to work during the week, but she worked in the post office near our
house on Saturdays, and she used to bring home all the new stamps as soon as they were
issued. On the day of the World Cup football final in London in 1966, we were very
excited because England were playing West Germany in the final. When we were having
lunch, my mother told us to go to the post office straightaway after the match if
England won, but she didn't tell us why. At 2 o'clock my mother went back to work as
usual, while the rest of the family were watching the football on TV at home. Although
she wasn't watching the match, she was listening to it on the radio. England won
4:2 and so my brothers and I ran to the post office. As we burst in, my mother was
standing behind the counter. She was waiting to sell us a very special limited edition
with ENGLAND WINNERS on each stamp. We were over the moon. We still have it
todayand perhaps it is worth a lot of money. 1. This passage mainly tells us

1. Hello, new students! This is a message from the Students Union Committee. We've
been at the university for at least a year now, so we can give you some good tips.
Don't worry - we remember being new and making a lot of mistakes! And we haven't
forgotten feeling a little bit scared. First, as you know, there are no longer any
grants. If you borrow money from the government, remember that like all loans, you
have to pay it back. Spending all your money in the first week is not a sensible
strategy. Try to make a budget for each term and stick to it. But if you are
struggling to make ends meet, you can get a part-time job-restaurants and bars in the
town take lots of students on in the evenings and at weekends. Come and see us for
advice. Stop worrying about making new friends. Start to join the sports and hobbies
societies - they're cheap and you can begin meeting a lot of people that way. It's a
great chance to take up a completely new hobby. Living in a new city a long way from
home can be very stressful. One tip, don't forget your parents. After all, they are
paying your tuition fees here. You will be very busy working and enjoying yourself,
but stop to phone your parents sometimes and don't forget to go home for the weekend
from time to time. And remember to take your dirty washing! Finally, remember to work
hard and play hard. Go on working steadily towards your first degree (BA or BSc)
throughout your three years here - try to keep things in perspective. You'll always
find someone in the Student Union office if you need to talk. 1). What does the word
"scared" mean in the second paragraph? 2). What does the word "grants" mean in the
third paragraph? 3). The sentence "But if you are struggling to make ends meet, at
weekends" in the third paragraph implies_________. 4). From the fifth paragraph, we
can infer that in order to overcome the stress of living faraway from home, _________.
5). This passage is written for the purpose of _________.
(1). A excitedB frightenedC worried
B
(2). A money given by the government to support the students' study, which they
needn't pay backB money from the government which the students need to pay backC
money from the school which is similar to scholarship
A
(3). A if you are short of money, you can find a part-time job in the
restaurants and bars in your spare timeB if you want to have a better life than
others, you can find a part-time job in your spare timeC restaurants and bars need
more hands in the evenings and at weekends
A
(4). A it's better for new students to talk to their parents over the phone
from time to timeB new students need to do their washing themselvesC new students
should keep themselves as busy as possible so that they will not miss home

1. Mrs Sharp, a large, red-faced woman in her late sixties, has lived in Greenleas, a
'new town' in the countryside outside London, since 1958. Before that she lived in
Bethnal Green, an area of inner London. She was moved to Greenleas by the local
authorities when her old house was demolished. She came from a large family with six
girls and two boys, and she grew up among brothers, sisters, uncles, aunts,
grandparents and cousins. When she married her boyfriend from school at eighteen, they
went on living with her parents, and her first child was brought up more by her mother
than by herself, because she always worked. As the family grew, they moved out of
their parents' house to a flat. It was in the next street, and their life was still
that of the extended family. 'All my family used to live around Denby Street,' said
Mrs Sharp, 'and we were always in and out of each other's houses.' When she went to
the shops, she used to call in on her mother to see if she wanted anything. Every day
she would visit one sister or another and see a nephew or niece at the corner shop or
in the market. "You always knew 90% of the people you saw in the street everyday,
either they were related to you or you were at school with them," she said. When her
babies were born (she had two sons and a daughter), she said, "All my sisters and
neighbours would help - they used to come and make a cup of tea, or help in some other

way." And every Saturday night there was a family party. It was at Mrs Sharp's
mother's house. "Of course we all know each other very well. You have to learn to get
on with each other. I had one neighbour who was always poking her nose into our
business. She was forever asking questions and gossiping. But you had to put up with
everyone, whatever they were like." 1. Why did Mrs. Sharp have to move to Greenleas?
2. When she got married, she lived ________. 3. Why did she know so many people? 4.

1. Benjamin Disraeli, the famous nineteenth century prime minister, said, "London is
not a city, - it is a nation." Today this is an understatement; London, with its vast
range of different ethnic groups, is a world. Certainly, London is the most culturally
diverse city in the world. The city was founded by the Romans and since then new
arrivals have constantly added to its character and prosperity. Within 10 years 40% of
Londoners will be from ethnic minority groups, including the growing number of
Londoners of mixed ethnic origin, but most of them will have been born in Britain.
Children of Caribbean-Chinese marriages will go to school with children of RussianIrish couples. None of them will be English but all of them will be Londoners. Most of
Britain's ethnic minority residents live in the capital, speaking over 300 languages.
Nearly all of the African population and many of the Caribbean population of Britain
live in London (83% and 58% respectively); 39% of the Chinese population of Britain
and 36% of the Asian population of Britain live in London. The largest migrant
community is from the Irish Republic with 256,000 people, 3.8% of the total population
of London. There are an estimated 330,000 refugees and asylum seekers living in
London, with most recent arrivals coming from Eastern Europe, North Africa and
Kurdistan. Young people, in particular, are skilled at dealing with a large number of
different and hybrid cultures. They themselves often have several different ethnic
identities since their parents and grandparents may come from several different
backgrounds and their friends and partners do also. They are "skilled cross-cultural
travelers" without leaving their home-town. 1Why does the writer think that Benjamin
Disraeli's statement is an understatement? Because he thinks London is _________. 2.
London is regarded as the most culturally diverse city in the world due to the
following facts EXCEPT that _________. 3. Ethnic minority groups will make up
_________ of the London population in the future. 4. The last paragraph mainly tells
us in London _________. 5. The passage mainly deals with _________.
(1). A a miniature world thanks to its great cultural diversityB even larger
than some countries in the worldC not a nation at all
A
(2). A within 10 years 40% Londoners will be from ethnic minority groupsB many
young people are immigrants from different backgroundsC London accommodates about
330,000 refugees and asylum seekers from many other countries
B
(3). A 36%B 40%C 39%

B
(4). A young people feel at ease with a large number of diversified culturesB
young people are raised in a multicultural environmentC young people find it hard to
adapt themselves to hybrid cultures
A
(5). A the advantage of hybrid cultures in LondonB the composition of the
population in LondonC the cultural diversity in London

1. Molly Wilson had been a dancer and a mother for many years when she decided to sail
round the world to raise money for charity. As a child she had trained as a ballet
dancer, but at 15 she had grown too tall for classical ballet, so she became a member
of a pop dance team. She got married, and after she had children she retired from show
business to bring them up. They grew up, and when they were 18 they left home. She
says, "When I decided to do the round-the-world race, my husband thought I was bored
because the children had left home. He was also worried because I had never sailed
before. I was not bored, but I had met some people who told me about the race. They
had taken part in it, but they had only done one section, say, from New Zealand to
Australia. I wanted to do the whole ten-month journey." Before Molly left she did a
lot of training, but it hadn't prepared her for the worst weather which they
experienced. She tells one story. 'One night the sea was very rough and it was very
cold. I had gone downstairs when a huge wave smashed into the boat and injured two men
on the deck. One of the men couldn't move because he had broken his leg. They were
taken to hospital by helicopter. That was the worst time.' By the end of October last
year, she had raised more than 50,000 for charity. She says, 'Sometimes I ask myself,
what did I do? How did I do it? But then I think, it's the same as being a dancer.
Before I left on the trip, I had trained hard. I had got very fit and had prepared
myself completely. Then on the trip I was simply a good team member.' 1. What does the
word 'extraordinary' mean in the title? 2. The sentence "my husband thought I was
bored " in Para. 4 meant that my husband thought I felt_________. 3. The word
'section' in Para. 4 most probably means here _________. 4. Which of the following is

1. PAT the Dog Did you know there are some very special dogs doing good work in
our hospital wards? These are PAT (Pets As Therapy) dogs. Doctors and nurses are
recognising the benefits of pets more and more - particularly for children, people
with mental illnesses and elderly people who are separated from their own pets or have
had to give up their pets. Stroking and playing with a pet is a calming experience
and something to look forward to. One hospital reported that a man with a mental
illness, who hadn't spoken for years, first stroked and played with a visiting dog and
then started talking to it. Today, around 4,500 dogs and 50 cats and their
volunteer owners are at work in the UK bringing comfort and pleasure to over 100,000
people in hospital. There are many other 'working dogs'. There are guard dogs,
police dogs, hunting dogs and dogs for the blind. Disabled people benefit greatly.
Take the case of Alan Smythe, who has to visit hospital every month. Some things are
difficult for him because he is in a wheelchair. But his life has altered dramatically
since he got a dog, Tess, from the charity 'Dogs for the Disabled'. 'She helps me to
get dressed, and she brings me my socks and shoes. She fetches the newspaper from the
shop, and she passes me the phone when it rings. I feel so much better too. It's like
having a really good friend. She comes with me to hospital. Once, she saved my life. I
am a diabetic and one day my blood sugar level dropped, and when I was going into a
coma she went next door and she alerted my neighbour. He gave me an insulin
injection.' 1. Which of the following statement is TRUE according to the passage? 2.
Pets are particularly beneficial to the following EXCEPT _________. 3. The first
sentence of Para. 2 suggests _________. 4. The dog helps Alan do the following EXCEPT
_________. 5. The sentence "when I was going to a comma " means that __________.
(1). A All the dogs are allowed into the hospitals to visit the patients.B
Only some special dogs can help the patients feel better.C Doctors and nurses doubt
if pets can bring comfort to the patients.
B
(2). A childrenB people with mental illnessC the elderly people who live
alone
C
(3). A pets can make people become quiet and attentiveB people feel
uncomfortable when they touch and play with a petC people feel relaxed and hopeful
when they touch and play with a pet
C
(4). A She helps her get dressedB She picks up the phone for herC She gets
the newspaper for her

(5). A when I got hungryB when I fell down on the floorC when I became

1. Hello, new students! This is a message from the Students Union Committee. We've

been at the university for at least a year now, so we can give you some good tips.
Don't worry - we remember being new and making a lot of mistakes! And we haven't
forgotten feeling a little bit scared. First, as you know, there are no longer any
grants. If you borrow money from the government, remember that like all loans, you
have to pay it back. Spending all your money in the first week is not a sensible
strategy. Try to make a budget for each term and stick to it. But if you are
struggling to make ends meet, you can get a part-time job-restaurants and bars in the
town take lots of students on in the evenings and at weekends. Come and see us for
advice. Stop worrying about making new friends. Start to join the sports and hobbies
societies - they're cheap and you can begin meeting a lot of people that way. It's a
great chance to take up a completely new hobby. Living in a new city a long way from
home can be very stressful. One tip, don't forget your parents. After all, they are
paying your tuition fees here. You will be very busy working and enjoying yourself,
but stop to phone your parents sometimes and don't forget to go home for the weekend
from time to time. And remember to take your dirty washing! Finally, remember to work
hard and play hard. Go on working steadily towards your first degree (BA or BSc)
throughout your three years here - try to keep things in perspective. You'll always
find someone in the Student Union office if you need to talk. 1). What does the word
"scared" mean in the second paragraph? 2). What does the word "grants" mean in the
third paragraph? 3). The sentence "But if you are struggling to make ends meet, at
weekends" in the third paragraph implies_________. 4). From the fifth paragraph, we
can infer that in order to overcome the stress of living faraway from home, _________.
5). This passage is written for the purpose of _________.
(1). A excitedB frightenedC worried
B
(2). A money given by the government to support the students' study, which they
needn't pay backB money from the government which the students need to pay backC
money from the school which is similar to scholarship
A
(3). A if you are short of money, you can find a part-time job in the
restaurants and bars in your spare timeB if you want to have a better life than
others, you can find a part-time job in your spare timeC restaurants and bars need
more hands in the evenings and at weekends
A
(4). A it's better for new students to talk to their parents over the phone
from time to timeB new students need to do their washing themselvesC new students
should keep themselves as busy as possible so that they will not miss home
A
(5). A telling new students the problems facing them in the universityB
telling new students how to budget their moneyC offering new students some advice
about their university life

1. Traffic in India means a mixture of all kinds of vehicles on the road. About
700,000 new cars (1) in India in the last twelve months, and about twice that many
used cars have been traded. The country's 35 million motorcycles and scooters make it
the world's largest two-wheel market. But because there are still big differences

1. Benjamin Disraeli, the famous nineteenth century prime minister, said, "London is
not a city, - it is a nation." Today this is an understatement; London, with its vast
range of different ethnic groups, is a world. Certainly, London is the most culturally
diverse city in the world. The city was founded by the Romans and since then new
arrivals have constantly added to its character and prosperity. Within 10 years 40% of
Londoners will be from ethnic minority groups, including the growing number of
Londoners of mixed ethnic origin, but most of them will have been born in Britain.
Children of Caribbean-Chinese marriages will go to school with children of RussianIrish couples. None of them will be English but all of them will be Londoners. Most of
Britain's ethnic minority residents live in the capital, speaking over 300 languages.
Nearly all of the African population and many of the Caribbean population of Britain
live in London (83% and 58% respectively); 39% of the Chinese population of Britain
and 36% of the Asian population of Britain live in London. The largest migrant
community is from the Irish Republic with 256,000 people, 3.8% of the total population
of London. There are an estimated 330,000 refugees and asylum seekers living in
London, with most recent arrivals coming from Eastern Europe, North Africa and
Kurdistan. Young people, in particular, are skilled at dealing with a large number of
different and hybrid cultures. They themselves often have several different ethnic
identities since their parents and grandparents may come from several different
backgrounds and their friends and partners do also. They are "skilled cross-cultural

travelers" without leaving their home-town. 1Why does the writer think that Benjamin
Disraeli's statement is an understatement? Because he thinks London is _________. 2.
London is regarded as the most culturally diverse city in the world due to the
following facts EXCEPT that _________. 3. Ethnic minority groups will make up

1. Molly Wilson had been a dancer and a mother for many years when she decided to sail
round the world to raise money for charity. As a child she had trained as a ballet
dancer, but at 15 she had grown too tall for classical ballet, so she became a member
of a pop dance team. She got married, and after she had children she retired from show
business to bring them up. They grew up, and when they were 18 they left home. She
says, "When I decided to do the round-the-world race, my husband thought I was bored
because the children had left home. He was also worried because I had never sailed
before. I was not bored, but I had met some people who told me about the race. They
had taken part in it, but they had only done one section, say, from New Zealand to
Australia. I wanted to do the whole ten-month journey." Before Molly left she did a
lot of training, but it hadn't prepared her for the worst weather which they
experienced. She tells one story. 'One night the sea was very rough and it was very
cold. I had gone downstairs when a huge wave smashed into the boat and injured two men
on the deck. One of the men couldn't move because he had broken his leg. They were
taken to hospital by helicopter. That was the worst time.' By the end of October last
year, she had raised more than 50,000 for charity. She says, 'Sometimes I ask myself,
what did I do? How did I do it? But then I think, it's the same as being a dancer.
Before I left on the trip, I had trained hard. I had got very fit and had prepared
myself completely. Then on the trip I was simply a good team member.' 1. What does the
word 'extraordinary' mean in the title? 2. The sentence "my husband thought I was
bored " in Para. 4 meant that my husband thought I felt_________. 3. The word
'section' in Para. 4 most probably means here _________. 4. Which of the following is
nearest (closest) in meaning to 'rough' in the sentence 'One night the sea was very

1. Jules Verne's most famous book is "Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Sea". (A
"league" is an old word 1 about three miles.) In those days submarines had not been
2 , but he describes an underwater ship very like a modern submarine. The captain of
the submarine, called Captain Nemo, and his men have many strange adventures and find
many strange things 3 the bottom of the ocean. He was a very good 4 . His characters
often did surprising and sometimes impossible things, but they always seemed 5 real
people. In another book, "Around the World in Eighty Days", Jules Verne creates Mr.
Fogg, the hero, 6 made a bet that he would travel around the world in eighty days.
Nowadays this may seem 7 to you, but in those days there were no planes or even cars.
Mr. Fogg and his servant traveled in many different 8 , even on an elephant at one
time! If you want to know their result, you should read the book. In all his books
Jules Verne used his scientific knowledge 9 his imagination in describing future
inventions. 10 he was wrong, of course, but often the accuracy of his descriptions is
very clever.

1. Anna is our only daughter. My wife and I have two sons, and Anna is the youngest in
the family, but she's twenty-five now. Anna was not well when she was little. It was a
very worrying time and she stayed at home a lot. She was seen first by the local
doctors, and then she was sent to a specialist in Cardiff where she was diagnosed as
diabetic. It was my wife who mainly took care of her then. I am not very good at
looking after little children. I suppose I am a bit traditional in that way. But when
she grew up a bit, we spent a lot of time together. We loved walking and talking and
discussing life. We still love it today. We get on very well. Although she looks like
me (tall, dark hair, dark eyes and dark skin), she takes after her mother: she is
artistic and musical, and like her mother she's attractive. She loves looking after
animals - she has two dogs, three cats and a goat. She lives in a little house in the
country. I like animals too. I like riding and hunting, but Anna hates hunting. She
thinks it's cruel. We discuss it a lot. She is quiet and a bit shy with strangers. I
am more outgoing and I love meeting new people. But she's not boring - actually, she's
very funny. She always has lots of stories of her life in the country. She's an art
and music teacher in a little village school. She is very good-natured. Anna says we
brought her up well, and she's going to bring her children up to be honest and loyal.
But I think she was easy to bring up. I don't remember ever telling her off. 1

1. When I was a little girl, my brothers and I collected stamps for many years. My
mother didn't use to work during the week, but she worked in the post office near our
house on Saturdays, and she used to bring home all the new stamps as soon as they were
issued. On the day of the World Cup football final in London in 1966, we were very
excited because England were playing West Germany in the final. When we were having
lunch, my mother told us to go to the post office straightaway after the match if
England won, but she didn't tell us why. At 2 o'clock my mother went back to work as
usual, while the rest of the family were watching the football on TV at home. Although
she wasn't watching the match, she was listening to it on the radio. England won
4:2 and so my brothers and I ran to the post office. As we burst in, my mother was

standing behind the counter. She was waiting to sell us a very special limited edition
with ENGLAND WINNERS on each stamp. We were over the moon. We still have it
todayand perhaps it is worth a lot of money. 1. This passage mainly tells us

1. PAT the Dog Did you know there are some very special dogs doing good work in
our hospital wards? These are PAT (Pets As Therapy) dogs. Doctors and nurses are
recognising the benefits of pets more and more - particularly for children, people
with mental illnesses and elderly people who are separated from their own pets or have
had to give up their pets. Stroking and playing with a pet is a calming experience
and something to look forward to. One hospital reported that a man with a mental
illness, who hadn't spoken for years, first stroked and played with a visiting dog and
then started talking to it. Today, around 4,500 dogs and 50 cats and their
volunteer owners are at work in the UK bringing comfort and pleasure to over 100,000
people in hospital. There are many other 'working dogs'. There are guard dogs,

get dressed, and she brings me my socks and shoes. She fetches the newspaper from the
shop, and she passes me the phone when it rings. I feel so much better too. It's like
having a really good friend. She comes with me to hospital. Once, she saved my life. I
am a diabetic and one day my blood sugar level dropped, and when I was going into a

1. Molly Wilson had been a dancer and a mother for many years when she decided to sail
round the world to raise money for charity. As a child she had trained as a ballet
dancer, but at 15 she had grown too tall for classical ballet, so she became a member
of a pop dance team. She got married, and after she had children she retired from show
business to bring them up. They grew up, and when they were 18 they left home. She
says, "When I decided to do the round-the-world race, my husband thought I was bored
because the children had left home. He was also worried because I had never sailed
before. I was not bored, but I had met some people who told me about the race. They
had taken part in it, but they had only done one section, say, from New Zealand to
Australia. I wanted to do the whole ten-month journey." Before Molly left she did a
lot of training, but it hadn't prepared her for the worst weather which they
experienced. She tells one story. 'One night the sea was very rough and it was very
cold. I had gone downstairs when a huge wave smashed into the boat and injured two men
on the deck. One of the men couldn't move because he had broken his leg. They were
taken to hospital by helicopter. That was the worst time.' By the end of October last
year, she had raised more than 50,000 for charity. She says, 'Sometimes I ask myself,
what did I do? How did I do it? But then I think, it's the same as being a dancer.
Before I left on the trip, I had trained hard. I had got very fit and had prepared

myself completely. Then on the trip I was simply a good team member.' 1. What does the
word 'extraordinary' mean in the title? 2. The sentence "my husband thought I was
bored " in Para. 4 meant that my husband thought I felt_________. 3. The word
'section' in Para. 4 most probably means here _________. 4. Which of the following is
nearest (closest) in meaning to 'rough' in the sentence 'One night the sea was very
rough ' in Para. 5? 5. The last paragraph suggests that _________.
(1). A very ordinaryB very unusual and surprisingC not special
B
(2). A dissatisfied because I had nothing better to do at homeB annoyed
because I had to wait long for my children to come back homeC sad because all the
children left me when they grew up
A
(3). A group of the jobB part of the trainingC part of the route of sail
C
(4). A not exactB difficultC not smooth because of huge waves
C
(5). A the qualities she needed for the trip were the same as those for a
dancerB many years of dancing had already prepared her for the sail completely, so
she needn't do anything before the journeyC she should not forget dancing during the
trip

1. Hello, new students! This is a message from the Students Union Committee. We've
been at the university for at least a year now, so we can give you some good tips.
Don't worry - we remember being new and making a lot of mistakes! And we haven't
forgotten feeling a little bit scared. First, as you know, there are no longer any
grants. If you borrow money from the government, remember that like all loans, you
have to pay it back. Spending all your money in the first week is not a sensible
strategy. Try to make a budget for each term and stick to it. But if you are
struggling to make ends meet, you can get a part-time job-restaurants and bars in the
town take lots of students on in the evenings and at weekends. Come and see us for
advice. Stop worrying about making new friends. Start to join the sports and hobbies
societies - they're cheap and you can begin meeting a lot of people that way. It's a
great chance to take up a completely new hobby. Living in a new city a long way from
home can be very stressful. One tip, don't forget your parents. After all, they are
paying your tuition fees here. You will be very busy working and enjoying yourself,
but stop to phone your parents sometimes and don't forget to go home for the weekend
from time to time. And remember to take your dirty washing! Finally, remember to work
hard and play hard. Go on working steadily towards your first degree (BA or BSc)
throughout your three years here - try to keep things in perspective. You'll always
find someone in the Student Union office if you need to talk. 1). What does the word
"scared" mean in the second paragraph? 2). What does the word "grants" mean in the
third paragraph? 3). The sentence "But if you are struggling to make ends meet, at
weekends" in the third paragraph implies_________. 4). From the fifth paragraph, we
can infer that in order to overcome the stress of living faraway from home, _________.
5). This passage is written for the purpose of _________.

(1). A excitedB frightenedC worried


B
(2). A money given by the government to support the students' study, which they
needn't pay backB money from the government which the students need to pay backC
money from the school which is similar to scholarship
A
(3). A if you are short of money, you can find a part-time job in the
restaurants and bars in your spare timeB if you want to have a better life than
others, you can find a part-time job in your spare timeC restaurants and bars need
more hands in the evenings and at weekends
A
(4). A it's better for new students to talk to their parents over the phone
from time to timeB new students need to do their washing themselvesC new students
should keep themselves as busy as possible so that they will not miss home
A
(5). A telling new students the problems facing them in the universityB
telling new students how to budget their moneyC offering new students some advice
about their university life

1. Mrs Sharp, a large, red-faced woman in her late sixties, has lived in Greenleas, a
'new town' in the countryside outside London, since 1958. Before that she lived in
Bethnal Green, an area of inner London. She was moved to Greenleas by the local
authorities when her old house was demolished. She came from a large family with six
girls and two boys, and she grew up among brothers, sisters, uncles, aunts,
grandparents and cousins. When she married her boyfriend from school at eighteen, they
went on living with her parents, and her first child was brought up more by her mother
than by herself, because she always worked. As the family grew, they moved out of
their parents' house to a flat. It was in the next street, and their life was still
that of the extended family. 'All my family used to live around Denby Street,' said
Mrs Sharp, 'and we were always in and out of each other's houses.' When she went to
the shops, she used to call in on her mother to see if she wanted anything. Every day
she would visit one sister or another and see a nephew or niece at the corner shop or
in the market. "You always knew 90% of the people you saw in the street everyday,
either they were related to you or you were at school with them," she said. When her
babies were born (she had two sons and a daughter), she said, "All my sisters and
neighbours would help - they used to come and make a cup of tea, or help in some other
way." And every Saturday night there was a family party. It was at Mrs Sharp's
mother's house. "Of course we all know each other very well. You have to learn to get
on with each other. I had one neighbour who was always poking her nose into our
business. She was forever asking questions and gossiping. But you had to put up with
everyone, whatever they were like." 1. Why did Mrs. Sharp have to move to Greenleas?
2. When she got married, she lived ________. 3. Why did she know so many people? 4.
The sentence "I had one neighbour who was always poking her nose into our business."
in the last Para. means __________. 5. What does this passage mainly deal with?
(1). A Because she had to work there.B Because she didn't like the old place
at all.C Because her house in the downtown area was knocked down.
C
(2). A together with her parents all the timeB together with her parents for
some timeC far away from her parents' house
B
(3). A Because she was easy going.B Because they were either her relatives or
schoolmatesC Because she was good at making friends with people
B
(4). A I had one neighbour who was always warm-heartedB I had one neighbour
who was always ready to help usC I had one neighbour who always showed her interests
in our private affairs
C
(5). A What the extended family is like.B The relationship between Mrs Sharp

and her neighbour.C What Mrs Sharp's life is like in the "new town".

1. PAT the Dog Did you know there are some very special dogs doing good work in
our hospital wards? These are PAT (Pets As Therapy) dogs. Doctors and nurses are
recognising the benefits of pets more and more - particularly for children, people
with mental illnesses and elderly people who are separated from their own pets or have
had to give up their pets. Stroking and playing with a pet is a calming experience
and something to look forward to. One hospital reported that a man with a mental
illness, who hadn't spoken for years, first stroked and played with a visiting dog and
then started talking to it. Today, around 4,500 dogs and 50 cats and their
volunteer owners are at work in the UK bringing comfort and pleasure to over 100,000
people in hospital. There are many other 'working dogs'. There are guard dogs,
police dogs, hunting dogs and dogs for the blind. Disabled people benefit greatly.

1. Benjamin Disraeli, the famous nineteenth century prime minister, said, "London is

not a city, - it is a nation." Today this is an understatement; London, with its vast
range of different ethnic groups, is a world. Certainly, London is the most culturally
diverse city in the world. The city was founded by the Romans and since then new
arrivals have constantly added to its character and prosperity. Within 10 years 40% of
Londoners will be from ethnic minority groups, including the growing number of
Londoners of mixed ethnic origin, but most of them will have been born in Britain.
Children of Caribbean-Chinese marriages will go to school with children of RussianIrish couples. None of them will be English but all of them will be Londoners. Most of
Britain's ethnic minority residents live in the capital, speaking over 300 languages.
Nearly all of the African population and many of the Caribbean population of Britain
live in London (83% and 58% respectively); 39% of the Chinese population of Britain
and 36% of the Asian population of Britain live in London. The largest migrant
community is from the Irish Republic with 256,000 people, 3.8% of the total population
of London. There are an estimated 330,000 refugees and asylum seekers living in
London, with most recent arrivals coming from Eastern Europe, North Africa and
Kurdistan. Young people, in particular, are skilled at dealing with a large number of
different and hybrid cultures. They themselves often have several different ethnic
identities since their parents and grandparents may come from several different
backgrounds and their friends and partners do also. They are "skilled cross-cultural
travelers" without leaving their home-town. 1Why does the writer think that Benjamin
Disraeli's statement is an understatement? Because he thinks London is _________. 2.
London is regarded as the most culturally diverse city in the world due to the
following facts EXCEPT that _________. 3. Ethnic minority groups will make up
_________ of the London population in the future. 4. The last paragraph mainly tells

1. Jules Verne's most famous book is "Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Sea". (A
"league" is an old word 1 about three miles.) In those days submarines had not been
2 , but he describes an underwater ship very like a modern submarine. The captain of
the submarine, called Captain Nemo, and his men have many strange adventures and find
many strange things 3 the bottom of the ocean. He was a very good 4 . His characters
often did surprising and sometimes impossible things, but they always seemed 5 real
people. In another book, "Around the World in Eighty Days", Jules Verne creates Mr.
Fogg, the hero, 6 made a bet that he would travel around the world in eighty days.
Nowadays this may seem 7 to you, but in those days there were no planes or even cars.
Mr. Fogg and his servant traveled in many different 8 , even on an elephant at one
time! If you want to know their result, you should read the book. In all his books
Jules Verne used his scientific knowledge 9 his imagination in describing future
inventions. 10 he was wrong, of course, but often the accuracy of his descriptions is
very clever.

1. Molly Wilson had been a dancer and a mother for many years when she decided to sail
round the world to raise money for charity. As a child she had trained as a ballet
dancer, but at 15 she had grown too tall for classical ballet, so she became a member
of a pop dance team. She got married, and after she had children she retired from show

business to bring them up. They grew up, and when they were 18 they left home. She
says, "When I decided to do the round-the-world race, my husband thought I was bored
because the children had left home. He was also worried because I had never sailed
before. I was not bored, but I had met some people who told me about the race. They
had taken part in it, but they had only done one section, say, from New Zealand to
Australia. I wanted to do the whole ten-month journey." Before Molly left she did a
lot of training, but it hadn't prepared her for the worst weather which they
experienced. She tells one story. 'One night the sea was very rough and it was very
cold. I had gone downstairs when a huge wave smashed into the boat and injured two men
on the deck. One of the men couldn't move because he had broken his leg. They were
taken to hospital by helicopter. That was the worst time.' By the end of October last
year, she had raised more than 50,000 for charity. She says, 'Sometimes I ask myself,
what did I do? How did I do it? But then I think, it's the same as being a dancer.
Before I left on the trip, I had trained hard. I had got very fit and had prepared
myself completely. Then on the trip I was simply a good team member.' 1. What does the
word 'extraordinary' mean in the title? 2. The sentence "my husband thought I was
bored " in Para. 4 meant that my husband thought I felt_________. 3. The word
'section' in Para. 4 most probably means here _________. 4. Which of the following is

A

C
(4). A not exactB difficultC not smooth because of huge waves

1. When I was a little girl, my brothers and I collected stamps for many years. My
mother didn't use to work during the week, but she worked in the post office near our
house on Saturdays, and she used to bring home all the new stamps as soon as they were
issued. On the day of the World Cup football final in London in 1966, we were very
excited because England were playing West Germany in the final. When we were having
lunch, my mother told us to go to the post office straightaway after the match if
England won, but she didn't tell us why. At 2 o'clock my mother went back to work as
usual, while the rest of the family were watching the football on TV at home. Although
she wasn't watching the match, she was listening to it on the radio. England won
4:2 and so my brothers and I ran to the post office. As we burst in, my mother was
standing behind the counter. She was waiting to sell us a very special limited edition
with ENGLAND WINNERS on each stamp. We were over the moon. We still have it
todayand perhaps it is worth a lot of money. 1. This passage mainly tells us

1. Jules Verne's most famous book is "Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Sea". (A
"league" is an old word 1 about three miles.) In those days submarines had not been
2 , but he describes an underwater ship very like a modern submarine. The captain of
the submarine, called Captain Nemo, and his men have many strange adventures and find
many strange things 3 the bottom of the ocean. He was a very good 4 . His characters
often did surprising and sometimes impossible things, but they always seemed 5 real
people. In another book, "Around the World in Eighty Days", Jules Verne creates Mr.
Fogg, the hero, 6 made a bet that he would travel around the world in eighty days.
Nowadays this may seem 7 to you, but in those days there were no planes or even cars.
Mr. Fogg and his servant traveled in many different 8 , even on an elephant at one
time! If you want to know their result, you should read the book. In all his books
Jules Verne used his scientific knowledge 9 his imagination in describing future
inventions. 10 he was wrong, of course, but often the accuracy of his descriptions is
very clever.

1. Hello, new students! This is a message from the Students Union Committee. We've
been at the university for at least a year now, so we can give you some good tips.
Don't worry - we remember being new and making a lot of mistakes! And we haven't
forgotten feeling a little bit scared. First, as you know, there are no longer any
grants. If you borrow money from the government, remember that like all loans, you
have to pay it back. Spending all your money in the first week is not a sensible
strategy. Try to make a budget for each term and stick to it. But if you are
struggling to make ends meet, you can get a part-time job-restaurants and bars in the
town take lots of students on in the evenings and at weekends. Come and see us for
advice. Stop worrying about making new friends. Start to join the sports and hobbies
societies - they're cheap and you can begin meeting a lot of people that way. It's a
great chance to take up a completely new hobby. Living in a new city a long way from
home can be very stressful. One tip, don't forget your parents. After all, they are
paying your tuition fees here. You will be very busy working and enjoying yourself,
but stop to phone your parents sometimes and don't forget to go home for the weekend
from time to time. And remember to take your dirty washing! Finally, remember to work
hard and play hard. Go on working steadily towards your first degree (BA or BSc)
throughout your three years here - try to keep things in perspective. You'll always
find someone in the Student Union office if you need to talk. 1). What does the word
"scared" mean in the second paragraph? 2). What does the word "grants" mean in the
third paragraph? 3). The sentence "But if you are struggling to make ends meet, at
weekends" in the third paragraph implies_________. 4). From the fifth paragraph, we
can infer that in order to overcome the stress of living faraway from home, _________.
5). This passage is written for the purpose of _________.
(1). A excitedB frightenedC worried
B
(2). A money given by the government to support the students' study, which they
needn't pay backB money from the government which the students need to pay backC
money from the school which is similar to scholarship
A
(3). A if you are short of money, you can find a part-time job in the
restaurants and bars in your spare timeB if you want to have a better life than
others, you can find a part-time job in your spare timeC restaurants and bars need
more hands in the evenings and at weekends

(4). A it's better for new students to talk to their parents over the phone
from time to timeB new students need to do their washing themselvesC new students

should keep themselves as busy as possible so that they will not miss home

1. Anna is our only daughter. My wife and I have two sons, and Anna is the youngest in
the family, but she's twenty-five now. Anna was not well when she was little. It was a
very worrying time and she stayed at home a lot. She was seen first by the local
doctors, and then she was sent to a specialist in Cardiff where she was diagnosed as
diabetic. It was my wife who mainly took care of her then. I am not very good at
looking after little children. I suppose I am a bit traditional in that way. But when
she grew up a bit, we spent a lot of time together. We loved walking and talking and
discussing life. We still love it today. We get on very well. Although she looks like
me (tall, dark hair, dark eyes and dark skin), she takes after her mother: she is
artistic and musical, and like her mother she's attractive. She loves looking after
animals - she has two dogs, three cats and a goat. She lives in a little house in the
country. I like animals too. I like riding and hunting, but Anna hates hunting. She
thinks it's cruel. We discuss it a lot. She is quiet and a bit shy with strangers. I
am more outgoing and I love meeting new people. But she's not boring - actually, she's
very funny. She always has lots of stories of her life in the country. She's an art
and music teacher in a little village school. She is very good-natured. Anna says we
brought her up well, and she's going to bring her children up to be honest and loyal.
But I think she was easy to bring up. I don't remember ever telling her off. 1
According to the passage, when Anna was a child, she _________. 2. It can be inferred
from the passage the author thinks looking after little children is ___________. 3.
What does 'take after' mean in the first sentence of Para. 2? 4. My daughter and I
have little in common in terms of ___________. 5. From the passage, we can see the
author's description of his daughter is ___________.
(1). A got an illnessB was very queerC didn't look like the author
A
(2). A his advantageB mainly a woman's responsibilityC really enjoyable
B
(3). A look afterB be different fromC look like

First , we must have a healthy diet. Most of the students like eating fried food such
as fried chicken ,French fries and so on. But this kind of food isn&#39;t good for
us. It is unhealty food. We should eat less fried food. Second, we must have a good
habit. I have a good habit . I get up early and go to bed early. I exercise regularly
when it is six o&#39;clock in the morning. So I have a strong body .But I should go to
bed early than before.<br/>By these suggestions, you will be healthy.

1. Benjamin Disraeli, the famous nineteenth century prime minister, said, "London is
not a city, - it is a nation." Today this is an understatement; London, with its vast
range of different ethnic groups, is a world. Certainly, London is the most culturally
diverse city in the world. The city was founded by the Romans and since then new
arrivals have constantly added to its character and prosperity. Within 10 years 40% of
Londoners will be from ethnic minority groups, including the growing number of
Londoners of mixed ethnic origin, but most of them will have been born in Britain.
Children of Caribbean-Chinese marriages will go to school with children of RussianIrish couples. None of them will be English but all of them will be Londoners. Most of
Britain's ethnic minority residents live in the capital, speaking over 300 languages.
Nearly all of the African population and many of the Caribbean population of Britain
live in London (83% and 58% respectively); 39% of the Chinese population of Britain
and 36% of the Asian population of Britain live in London. The largest migrant
community is from the Irish Republic with 256,000 people, 3.8% of the total population
of London. There are an estimated 330,000 refugees and asylum seekers living in
London, with most recent arrivals coming from Eastern Europe, North Africa and
Kurdistan. Young people, in particular, are skilled at dealing with a large number of
different and hybrid cultures. They themselves often have several different ethnic
identities since their parents and grandparents may come from several different
backgrounds and their friends and partners do also. They are "skilled cross-cultural
travelers" without leaving their home-town. 1Why does the writer think that Benjamin
Disraeli's statement is an understatement? Because he thinks London is _________. 2.
London is regarded as the most culturally diverse city in the world due to the
following facts EXCEPT that _________. 3. Ethnic minority groups will make up
_________ of the London population in the future. 4. The last paragraph mainly tells
us in London _________. 5. The passage mainly deals with _________.
(1). A a miniature world thanks to its great cultural diversityB even larger
than some countries in the worldC not a nation at all

1. Mrs Sharp, a large, red-faced woman in her late sixties, has lived in Greenleas, a
'new town' in the countryside outside London, since 1958. Before that she lived in
Bethnal Green, an area of inner London. She was moved to Greenleas by the local
authorities when her old house was demolished. She came from a large family with six
girls and two boys, and she grew up among brothers, sisters, uncles, aunts,
grandparents and cousins. When she married her boyfriend from school at eighteen, they
went on living with her parents, and her first child was brought up more by her mother
than by herself, because she always worked. As the family grew, they moved out of
their parents' house to a flat. It was in the next street, and their life was still
that of the extended family. 'All my family used to live around Denby Street,' said
Mrs Sharp, 'and we were always in and out of each other's houses.' When she went to
the shops, she used to call in on her mother to see if she wanted anything. Every day
she would visit one sister or another and see a nephew or niece at the corner shop or
in the market. "You always knew 90% of the people you saw in the street everyday,
either they were related to you or you were at school with them," she said. When her
babies were born (she had two sons and a daughter), she said, "All my sisters and
neighbours would help - they used to come and make a cup of tea, or help in some other

way." And every Saturday night there was a family party. It was at Mrs Sharp's
mother's house. "Of course we all know each other very well. You have to learn to get
on with each other. I had one neighbour who was always poking her nose into our
business. She was forever asking questions and gossiping. But you had to put up with
everyone, whatever they were like." 1. Why did Mrs. Sharp have to move to Greenleas?
2. When she got married, she lived ________. 3. Why did she know so many people? 4.
The sentence "I had one neighbour who was always poking her nose into our business."
in the last Para. means __________. 5. What does this passage mainly deal with?

at all.C Because her house in the downtown area was knocked down.
C
(2). A together with her parents all the timeB together with her parents for

1. Mrs Sharp, a large, red-faced woman in her late sixties, has lived in Greenleas, a
'new town' in the countryside outside London, since 1958. Before that she lived in
Bethnal Green, an area of inner London. She was moved to Greenleas by the local
authorities when her old house was demolished. She came from a large family with six
girls and two boys, and she grew up among brothers, sisters, uncles, aunts,
grandparents and cousins. When she married her boyfriend from school at eighteen, they
went on living with her parents, and her first child was brought up more by her mother
than by herself, because she always worked. As the family grew, they moved out of
their parents' house to a flat. It was in the next street, and their life was still
that of the extended family. 'All my family used to live around Denby Street,' said
Mrs Sharp, 'and we were always in and out of each other's houses.' When she went to
the shops, she used to call in on her mother to see if she wanted anything. Every day
she would visit one sister or another and see a nephew or niece at the corner shop or
in the market. "You always knew 90% of the people you saw in the street everyday,
either they were related to you or you were at school with them," she said. When her
babies were born (she had two sons and a daughter), she said, "All my sisters and
neighbours would help - they used to come and make a cup of tea, or help in some other
way." And every Saturday night there was a family party. It was at Mrs Sharp's
mother's house. "Of course we all know each other very well. You have to learn to get
on with each other. I had one neighbour who was always poking her nose into our
business. She was forever asking questions and gossiping. But you had to put up with
everyone, whatever they were like." 1. Why did Mrs. Sharp have to move to Greenleas?
2. When she got married, she lived ________. 3. Why did she know so many people? 4.
The sentence "I had one neighbour who was always poking her nose into our business."
in the last Para. means __________. 5. What does this passage mainly deal with?
(1). A Because she had to work there.B Because she didn't like the old place
at all.C Because her house in the downtown area was knocked down.
C
(2). A together with her parents all the timeB together with her parents for
some timeC far away from her parents' house
B
(3). A Because she was easy going.B Because they were either her relatives or
schoolmatesC Because she was good at making friends with people
B
(4). A I had one neighbour who was always warm-heartedB I had one neighbour
who was always ready to help usC I had one neighbour who always showed her interests
in our private affairs
C
(5). A What the extended family is like.B The relationship between Mrs Sharp
and her neighbour.C What Mrs Sharp's life is like in the "new town".

1. Molly Wilson had been a dancer and a mother for many years when she decided to sail
round the world to raise money for charity. As a child she had trained as a ballet
dancer, but at 15 she had grown too tall for classical ballet, so she became a member
of a pop dance team. She got married, and after she had children she retired from show
business to bring them up. They grew up, and when they were 18 they left home. She
says, "When I decided to do the round-the-world race, my husband thought I was bored
because the children had left home. He was also worried because I had never sailed
before. I was not bored, but I had met some people who told me about the race. They
had taken part in it, but they had only done one section, say, from New Zealand to
Australia. I wanted to do the whole ten-month journey." Before Molly left she did a
lot of training, but it hadn't prepared her for the worst weather which they
experienced. She tells one story. 'One night the sea was very rough and it was very
cold. I had gone downstairs when a huge wave smashed into the boat and injured two men
on the deck. One of the men couldn't move because he had broken his leg. They were
taken to hospital by helicopter. That was the worst time.' By the end of October last
year, she had raised more than 50,000 for charity. She says, 'Sometimes I ask myself,
what did I do? How did I do it? But then I think, it's the same as being a dancer.
Before I left on the trip, I had trained hard. I had got very fit and had prepared
myself completely. Then on the trip I was simply a good team member.' 1. What does the
word 'extraordinary' mean in the title? 2. The sentence "my husband thought I was
bored " in Para. 4 meant that my husband thought I felt_________. 3. The word
'section' in Para. 4 most probably means here _________. 4. Which of the following is
nearest (closest) in meaning to 'rough' in the sentence 'One night the sea was very
rough ' in Para. 5? 5. The last paragraph suggests that _________.
(1). A very ordinaryB very unusual and surprisingC not special

1. Anna is our only daughter. My wife and I have two sons, and Anna is the youngest in
the family, but she's twenty-five now. Anna was not well when she was little. It was a
very worrying time and she stayed at home a lot. She was seen first by the local
doctors, and then she was sent to a specialist in Cardiff where she was diagnosed as
diabetic. It was my wife who mainly took care of her then. I am not very good at
looking after little children. I suppose I am a bit traditional in that way. But when
she grew up a bit, we spent a lot of time together. We loved walking and talking and
discussing life. We still love it today. We get on very well. Although she looks like

me (tall, dark hair, dark eyes and dark skin), she takes after her mother: she is
artistic and musical, and like her mother she's attractive. She loves looking after
animals - she has two dogs, three cats and a goat. She lives in a little house in the
country. I like animals too. I like riding and hunting, but Anna hates hunting. She
thinks it's cruel. We discuss it a lot. She is quiet and a bit shy with strangers. I
am more outgoing and I love meeting new people. But she's not boring - actually, she's
very funny. She always has lots of stories of her life in the country. She's an art
and music teacher in a little village school. She is very good-natured. Anna says we
brought her up well, and she's going to bring her children up to be honest and loyal.
But I think she was easy to bring up. I don't remember ever telling her off. 1

1. When I was a little girl, my brothers and I collected stamps for many years. My
mother didn't use to work during the week, but she worked in the post office near our
house on Saturdays, and she used to bring home all the new stamps as soon as they were
issued. On the day of the World Cup football final in London in 1966, we were very
excited because England were playing West Germany in the final. When we were having
lunch, my mother told us to go to the post office straightaway after the match if
England won, but she didn't tell us why. At 2 o'clock my mother went back to work as
usual, while the rest of the family were watching the football on TV at home. Although
she wasn't watching the match, she was listening to it on the radio. England won
4:2 and so my brothers and I ran to the post office. As we burst in, my mother was
standing behind the counter. She was waiting to sell us a very special limited edition
with ENGLAND WINNERS on each stamp. We were over the moon. We still have it
todayand perhaps it is worth a lot of money. 1. This passage mainly tells us

1. Benjamin Disraeli, the famous nineteenth century prime minister, said, "London is
not a city, - it is a nation." Today this is an understatement; London, with its vast
range of different ethnic groups, is a world. Certainly, London is the most culturally
diverse city in the world. The city was founded by the Romans and since then new
arrivals have constantly added to its character and prosperity. Within 10 years 40% of
Londoners will be from ethnic minority groups, including the growing number of
Londoners of mixed ethnic origin, but most of them will have been born in Britain.
Children of Caribbean-Chinese marriages will go to school with children of RussianIrish couples. None of them will be English but all of them will be Londoners. Most of
Britain's ethnic minority residents live in the capital, speaking over 300 languages.
Nearly all of the African population and many of the Caribbean population of Britain
live in London (83% and 58% respectively); 39% of the Chinese population of Britain
and 36% of the Asian population of Britain live in London. The largest migrant
community is from the Irish Republic with 256,000 people, 3.8% of the total population
of London. There are an estimated 330,000 refugees and asylum seekers living in
London, with most recent arrivals coming from Eastern Europe, North Africa and
Kurdistan. Young people, in particular, are skilled at dealing with a large number of
different and hybrid cultures. They themselves often have several different ethnic
identities since their parents and grandparents may come from several different
backgrounds and their friends and partners do also. They are "skilled cross-cultural
travelers" without leaving their home-town. 1Why does the writer think that Benjamin
Disraeli's statement is an understatement? Because he thinks London is _________. 2.
London is regarded as the most culturally diverse city in the world due to the
following facts EXCEPT that _________. 3. Ethnic minority groups will make up
_________ of the London population in the future. 4. The last paragraph mainly tells
us in London _________. 5. The passage mainly deals with _________.
(1). A a miniature world thanks to its great cultural diversityB even larger
than some countries in the worldC not a nation at all

1. Jules Verne's most famous book is "Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Sea". (A
"league" is an old word 1 about three miles.) In those days submarines had not been
2 , but he describes an underwater ship very like a modern submarine. The captain of
the submarine, called Captain Nemo, and his men have many strange adventures and find
many strange things 3 the bottom of the ocean. He was a very good 4 . His characters
often did surprising and sometimes impossible things, but they always seemed 5 real
people. In another book, "Around the World in Eighty Days", Jules Verne creates Mr.
Fogg, the hero, 6 made a bet that he would travel around the world in eighty days.
Nowadays this may seem 7 to you, but in those days there were no planes or even cars.
Mr. Fogg and his servant traveled in many different 8 , even on an elephant at one
time! If you want to know their result, you should read the book. In all his books
Jules Verne used his scientific knowledge 9 his imagination in describing future
inventions. 10 he was wrong, of course, but often the accuracy of his descriptions is
very clever.

and something to look forward to. One hospital reported that a man with a mental
illness, who hadn't spoken for years, first stroked and played with a visiting dog and
then started talking to it. Today, around 4,500 dogs and 50 cats and their
volunteer owners are at work in the UK bringing comfort and pleasure to over 100,000
people in hospital. There are many other 'working dogs'. There are guard dogs,
police dogs, hunting dogs and dogs for the blind. Disabled people benefit greatly.
Take the case of Alan Smythe, who has to visit hospital every month. Some things are
difficult for him because he is in a wheelchair. But his life has altered dramatically
since he got a dog, Tess, from the charity 'Dogs for the Disabled'. 'She helps me to

get dressed, and she brings me my socks and shoes. She fetches the newspaper from the
shop, and she passes me the phone when it rings. I feel so much better too. It's like
having a really good friend. She comes with me to hospital. Once, she saved my life. I
am a diabetic and one day my blood sugar level dropped, and when I was going into a
coma she went next door and she alerted my neighbour. He gave me an insulin
injection.' 1. Which of the following statement is TRUE according to the passage? 2.
