1.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.
The festival season is on us again and like every year,we work hard in terms of cleaning,cooking,shopping,and so on for the season.With it,it also brings a lack of sleep.This could be because you are feeling overworked and stressed out.
We should always sleep for at least 6-8hours but a recent survey has shown that more women than men do not get enough sleep and at times some women are functioning on less than five hours of sleep a day.
Often,some choose sleeping tablets to aid their sleep.If you are going through an extreme period of stress or pain,your doctor may subscribe to you some sleeping tablets.However,they should be taken with care,as the body takes just two weeks to adjust to them and they are not as effective.Then there is a problem that they are dependent on sleeping tablets.So you can try the healthier alternatives listed below to deal with the sleeping problem.
Use the bedroom to sleep-not as an extension of your office or entertainment center.Keep the TV switched off.
Relax before going to bed.Drinking some milk and listening to music will be beneficial.
Have a hot shower and keep the room cool.Often a temperature change can cause sleep.
Don't do anything which may raise anxiety levels just before bed.It takes your mind a long time to get calm after anxiety.
Try to get to bed at the same time every day for a week,and wake up at the same time every day for a week.Once you get used to the routine,sleep will become a natural experience.
So these are alternative ways of helping you to relax before bed.Try some or a combination of the above tips to experiment what suits you most.

3.Should we allow modern buildings to be built next to older buildings in a historic area of a city?In order to answer this question,we must first examine whether people really want to preserve the historic feel of an area.Not all historical buildings are attractive.However,there may be other reasons-for example,economic reasons-why they should be preserved.So,let us assume that historical buildings are both attractive and important to the majority of people.What should we do then if a new building is needed?
In my view,new architectural styles can exist perfectly well alongside an older style.Indeed,there are many examples in my own hometown of Tours where modern designs have ben placed very successfully next to old buildings.As long as the building in question is pleasing and does not dominate (影响) its surroundings too much,it often improves the attractiveness of the area.
It is true that there are examples of new buildings which have spoilt (破坏) the area they are in,but the same can be said of some old buildings too.Yet people still speak against new buildings in historic areas.I think this is simply because people are naturally conservative(保守的) and do not like change.
Although we have to respect people's feelings as fellow users of the buildings,I believe that it is the duty of the architect and planner to move things forward.If we always reproduced what was thre before,we would all still be living in caves.Thus,I would argue against copying previous architectural styles and choose something fresh and different,even though that might be the more risky choice.
28.What does the author say about historical buildings in th first paragraph?D
A.Most of them are too expensive to preserve.
B.They are more pleasing than modern buildings.
C.They have nothing to do with the historic feel of an area.
D.Some of them are not attractive.
29.Which of the following is TRUE according to the author?A
A.Some old buildings have spoilt the area they are in.
B.We should reproduce the same old buildings.
C.Buildings should not dominate their surroundings.
D.No one understands why people speak against new buildings.
30.By"move things forward"in the last paragraph,the author probably means"C".
A.destroy old buildings           
B.put things in a different place
C.choose new architectural style   
D.respect people's feelings for historical buildings
31.What is the main purpose of the passage?B
A.To explain why people dislike change.
B.To argue that modern buildings can be built in historic areas.
C.To warn that we could end up living in caves.
D.To admit how new buildings have ruined their surroundings.

"I don't think so,"the nurse said angrily."Nuns usually marry God.And God is the richest in the world,you know!"

10.The Great Fire of London started in the very early hours of 2September 1666.In four days it destroyed more than three-quarters of the old city,where most of the houses were wooden and close together.Over one hundred people became homeless,but only a few lost their lives.
The fire started on Sunday morning in the house of the King's baker in Pudding Lane.The baker,with his wife and family,was able to get out through a window in the roof.A strong wind blew the fire from the bakery(面包房)into a small hotel next door.Then it spread quickly into Thames Street.That was the beginning.
By eight o'clock three hundred houses were on fire.On Monday nearly a kilometer of the city was burning along the River Thames.Tuesday was the worst day.The fire destroyed many well-known buildings,old St Paul's and the Guildhall among them.
Samuel Pepys,the famous writer,wrote about the fire,"People threw their things into the river.Many poor people stayed in their houses until the last moment.Birds fell out of the air because of the heat."
The fire stopped only when the King finally ordered people to destroy hundreds of buildings in the path of the fire.With nothing left to burn,the fire became weak and finally died out.
After the fire,Christopher Wren,the architect(建筑师),wanted a city with wider streets and fine new houses of stone.In fact,the streets are still narrow,but he did build more than fifty churches,among which were St Paul's
The fire caused great pain and loss,but after it London was a better place:a city for the future and not just of the past.

28.How was the fire put out according to the text?D
A.The King and his soldiers came to help.
B.All the wooden houses in the city were destroyed.
C.People managed to get enough water from the river.
D.Houses standing in the direction of the fire were pulled down
29.It seems that the writer of the text was most sorry for the fact thatC.
A.some people lost their lives   
B.the birds in the sky were killed by the fire
C.many famous buildings were destroyed   
D.the King's bakery was burned down
30.Why did the writer cite(引用)Samuel Pepys?C
A.Because Pepys was among those putting out the fire.
B.Because Pepys also wrote about the fire.
C.To give readers a clearer picture of the fire.
D.To show that poor people suffered most.
31.Which of the following were reasons for the rapid spread of the big fire?A
(a) There was a strong wind.
(b) The streets were very narrow.
(c) Many houses were made of wood.
(d) There was not enough water in the city.
(e) People did not discover the fire earlier.
A.(a),(b) and (c)                      
B.(a) and (b)
