【题目】Good afternoon, and welcome to England. We hope that your visit here will be a pleasant one. Today, I would like to draw your attention to a few of our laws.

The first one is about drinking. Now, you may not buy alcohol in this country if you are under 18 years of age, nor may your friends buy it for you. Secondly, noise. Enjoy yourselves by all means, but please don’t make unnecessary noise, particularly at night. We ask you to respect other people who may wish to be quiet. Thirdly crossing the road. Be careful. The traffic moves on the left side of the road in this country. Use pedestrian crossings and do not take any chances when crossing the road. My next point is about litter. It is an offence (违法行为) to drop litter in the street. When you have something to throw away, please put it in your pocket and take it home, or put it in a litter bin.

Finally, as regards smoking, it is against the law to buy cigarettes or tobacco if you are under 16 years of age.

I’d like to finish by saying that if you require any sort of help or assistance, you should contact your local police station, who will be pleased to help you.

Now, are there any questions?

All of us know the old saying “Practice make perfect.” It tells us unless we want to realize our aim, we should practise and one day we will make it. It's easy to understand. Once I wanted to learn swimming. At first I found difficult to control my body. I just sank into the water. I feel very frightened. Then I watched others who were good at them and asked them the key to succeed. I went to the swimming pool every day, learned from them and practiced. A day, when my friend pushed me into the swimming pool, I sudden found that I could swim. How exciting I was! Now I can swim much more better than before.

【题目】阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项中(A, B, C, D), 选出最佳选项。
B
My parents moved from Mexico to South Texas in the early 90s with the hope for a brighter future for their family of nine---my parents, four boys and three girls. My parents have always wanted the best for us and they have done everything possible to encourage us to get a university degree. Never did they think that by pushing us that direction, it also meant encouraging us to move away and be distant from each other.
Initially(起初), getting accustomed to the American culture and lifestyle was very difficult for my parents. They come from a culture where kids grow up together, go to school together and most of the time live in the same neighborhood. From our point, American family values were a bit different. Typically in the US, when you turn 18, you are expected to graduate from high school, move out, find a university, possibly find a partner, get married and start a life together. Most of these decisions take you away from home; usually you have to follow opportunity and wherever that will take you.
This is my family's current situation. I graduated from Bethel College in Indiana in 2010, and in order to fulfill my financial responsibilities of paying off student loans, I moved to Washington State for my job with Experience Mission. Ideally my parents wanted me to come home to South Texas, but that wasn't where my opportunity took me.
Currently, my sister Jennifer lives in Waco, Texas, about eight hours from my parents. My two younger brothers also decided to go to college at Bethel and are away from my parents. More than likely, when they graduate, they will probably not move back home to South Texas.
My parent never imagined that their dream for a better future would separate our family this way.Facebook has played a crucial(决定性的) role in the way we communicate while living in different places. Since we all use Facebook, we have found a place to connect and feel as if we were there together with each other.
(1)We can infer from the first paragraph that ________.
A.the writer's family are immigrants to America
B.the writer' family came to America for a better future
C.the writer' parents' didn't want their children to get a university degree
D.the writer' parents pushed their children away from each other
(2)The writer's parents found it hard to be used to American life because ________.
A.they were strangers in America
B.they suffered from a culture shock
C.the local people disl iked their family
D.different countries have different lives
(3)The writer didn't return to work in South Texas after graduation because ________.
A.he owed a lot of money while studying at college
B.he didn't graduate from university
C.he found his opportunity in Washington State
D.his father couldn't find him a job in South Texas
(4)What will probably be talked about in the paragraph after the last?
A.The writer's parents' life in Texas.
B.How the parents learn to use Facebook.
C.What the writer's brothers' and sisters' lives are like.
D.How the writer's family communicate through Facebook.

Fun doesn't have to be expensive
Everyone likes to have fun, but not everyone has much money to spend. Here are some free or cheap ways to enjoy yourself.
Go outside
Going outside in good weather can be a lot of fun if you don't want to stay at home. If you live in a city, you can go window-shopping. Or you can explore an old part of town and admire the buildings.
Try a hobby
While you're out, take pictures of things you find. Planning and taking pictures can make you aware of the beauty all around you. Photographic equipment can be expensive, but it doesn't have to be. You probably already own a camera or a cell phone that can take pictures. Other creative hobbies can also be done with basic materials.
Find an event
Libraries often hold free public events. And while you're there, borrow a book or movie for free. Museums and universities also hold free events.
If you can't find a free event, you can volunteer at an event that requires tickets. People who organize concerts and plays need help. Sometimes they reward volunteers with free tickets.
Meet a friend
Relationships are often the best things in life. For example, invite a friend for a walk, an event or a time working on your hobby. Hosting doesn't have to be difficult. If your friend comes in the afternoon, you don't have to serve a meal. You can sit and talk, play board games or card games or watch a movie together.
A. A friend in need is a friend indeed.
B. Stop by one to find out what's going on.
C. Hike or bicycle with a friend on a nearby path or in a park.
D. Whatever you do, find a friend to share it with.
E. It's a good idea to stay at home to watch a movie.
F. You can set up or take down chairs or greet visitors.
G. Drawing and writing require nothing more than a pencil and paper.

【题目】阅读理解
Green is an important color in nature. It is the color of grass and the leaves on trees. It is also the color of most growing plants.
Sometimes, the word green means young, fresh and growing. Sometimes, it describes something that is not yet ripe or finished. For example, a greenhorn is someone who has no experience, who is new to a situation. In the fifteenth century, a greenhorn was a young cow or ox whose horns(角) had not yet developed. A century later, a greenhorn was a soldier who had not yet had any experience in battle. By the eighteenth century, a greenhorn had the meaning it has today—a person who is new in a job.
Someone who has the ability to grow plants well is said to have a green thumb. The expression comes from early nineteen hundreds. A person with a green thumb seems to have a magic touch that makes plants grow quickly and well. You might say that the woman next door has a green thumb if her garden continues to grow long after your plants have died.
The Green Revolution is the name given some years ago to the development of new kinds of rice and other grains. The new plants produced much larger crops. The Green Revolution was the result of hard work by agricultural scientists who had green thumbs.
Green is also the color used to describe the powerful feeling, jealousy(嫉妒). The green-eyed monster is not a frightening creature from outer space. It is an expression used about four hundred years ago by British writer William Shakespeare in his play “Othello”. It describes the unpleasant feeling a person has when someone has something he wants. A young man may suffer from the green-eyed monster if his girlfriend begins going out with someone else. Or, that green-eyed monster may affect your friend if you get a pay rise and he does not.
(1)A greenhorn now refers to ____.
A.a cow without horns
B.a new solider
C.a young horse
D.a person who is new in a job
(2)A person who has a green thumb is a person ____.
A.whose garden is greener than others'
B.whose thumbs are of green color
C.who is good at growing plants
D.who is younger than his neighbors
(3)The author is actually talking about ____.
A.language
B.colors
C.politics
D.agriculture
(4)Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A.In about the 16th century, a greenhorn meant an experienced soldier.
B.The Green Revolution may have some connection with green thumbs.
C.The green-eyed monster was probably created by William Shakespeare.
D.The green-eyed monster can be used to describe a person who is jealous.
