【题目】A volunteering vacation can be a meaningful way to spend your time off, but to make the trip satisfying both for you and the cause you are supporting, several factors need to be considered. Here is some advice on planning the ideal vacation:

【1】 There are hundreds of causes to volunteer for, and finding one close to your heart will lead to a more worthwhile trip. Possibilities include wildlife conservation, education, environmental protection, health and nutrition. Also, consider any personal and professional skills that you can contribute. 【2】

Choose your destination and setting. Your volunteering trip will be more enjoyable if you use it to reach a favorite destination. If Southeast Asia is on your mind, helping with tree-planting programs in Bali would benefit the environment and let you appreciate the scenic island. 【3】

Is volunteering outdoors in a hot or snowy climate appealing, or do you prefer being in an air-conditioned office?

Ask the right questions. 【4】 Be aware that most volunteering programs require a weeklong commitment. Ask other questions like: How many hours of work per day is required? Are there days off? Will you be working individually or as part of a team? And what are the goals of your efforts? 【5】 Ask if the cost includes only accommodations or meals and transportation too.

A. Figure out your cause.

B. Find a well-respected organization.

C. And think about the surroundings you want.

D. Your duty there is to help, as well as to rest and relax.

E. The more you know about your trip, the more successful it will be.

But coffee has become fashionable among the middle class in China. Starbucks now has about 3, 800 outlets in China- more than in any other country outside America. Statista, a business-intelligence portal(门户网站), says the roast coffee market in China is growing by more than 10 % a year. Starbucks and its rivals see big opportunities for expanding there.

So too, however, do home-grown competitors. A major new presence is Luckin Coffee, Beijing- based chain. Since its founding less than two years ago, it has opened more than 2,300 outlets. On May 17th Luckin’s initial public offering on the Nasdaq stockmarket raised more than $570m, giving it a value of about $4bn.

Luckin’s remarkable growth is sign of change. No longer do Chinese consumers see coffee as such a luxury. Most of Luckin’s outlets are merely kiosks where busy white-collar workers pick up their drinks, having ordered them online. Super-fast delivery can also be arranged through the company’s app. Independent coffee shops are springing up. The growth is striking given the country’s reputation for its tea-drinking culture where many residents like to relax in teahouses sipping tea served gracefully.

But the two markets are different. The teahouses tend to cater to older people who like to spend long hours playing mahjong and gossiping. At the coffee shops it is rare to see anyone over 40. Young people use them for socialising, but much of their interaction is online -sharing photos of their drinks and of the coffee-making equipment. An option on the Chinese rating app Dianping allows users to search for wanghong ("internet viral") coffee houses: ones with particularly photogenic decor(照片装饰) where better to sip and We Chat?

【1】How did Starbucks try to appeal to Chinese consumers?

A.By reducing the price slightly.B.By introducing the benefits of coffee.

C.By making coffee taste not so bitter.D.By promoting its products effectively.

【2】What does Luckin Coffee’s growth suggest?

A.People tend to like coffee’s bitter taste.

B.People’s views on coffee-drinking have changed.

C.People in China can afford coffee now.

D.Tea is no longer part of Chinese culture.

【3】What does the underlined word “kiosks” in paragraph 4 mean?

A.Places where people can drink beer.

B.Restaurants where food can be taken away.

C.Shops aimed at people who like drinking coffee.

D.Small shops or stores where newspapers and drinks are sold.

【4】What is the best title for the text?

A.Coffee is taking off in China.

B.Tea-drinking is not popular.

C.Coffee or tea, which do you prefer?

D.Coffee has become people’s favorite in China.

【题目】Since his early childhood, G. A. Minton has always been a faithful fan of science fiction and horror. Whenever a scary movie was playing at the local theatre, he was there in attendance with his friends, loudly screaming in terror.

In his everyday life, Minton likes playing the game of golf most, having lettered on his high school golf team. In addition to writing, he also enjoys reading, traveling, fishing, swimming, working out, listening to hard rock music, and watching great movies－especially those about horror, science fiction, mystery and comedy.

Strangely enough, it was only after Minton was knocked down by a drunk driver and suffered a closed-head injury that he developed a new found passion for writing. After the car accident, he suffered from both memory loss and problems communicating with others, which frustrated him to no end. He had to go to see his doctor on a regular basis and for weeks he had to take medicine used by patients who are suffering from Alzheimer’s disease. Luckily, his brain slowly began to mend itself.

At the end of the healing process, something was very different. He noticed that he had developed a strong urge to write down a story that had formed in his mind. That’s how his first novel Trisomy XXI was born. He penned（写作）it in only three months. He began with chapter one and wrote in a freestyle manner—almost in a stream of consciousness. The narrative flowed freely from his vivid imagination, creating a thrilling tale of terror that is formed from an ordered sequence of events.

One could think that the damaged neurons（神经元）had rearranged themselves into a different pattern, and thus improving the creative elements in his brain. Besides, stranger things have happened! He has recently completed his second novel. Currently, his brain is busy at work, seriously processing the text for another -story of the terror-one that will both entertain and horrify its unsuspecting reader!

【1】From Paragraph 2, we know that G.

A. Minion .

A. likes writing best in high school

B. is a man of multiple interests

C. wants to become a golf player

D. hopes to make a horror movie

【2】What happened to Minton after the accident?

A. His memory was improved. B. His brain was damaged permanently.

C. His creative ability was inspired. D. He suffered from Alzheimer’s disease.

【3】What can we infer about Minton’s first novel from the text?

A. It was written in a strict manner.

B. It was intended to amuse crazy readers.

C. It was based on Minton’s own experience.

D. It might not be written but for Minton’s injury.

【4】Which of .he following can best describe Minton’s experience?

A. Good luck always comes out of misfortune.

B. A bad beginning makes a good ending.

C. It’s hard sailing when there is no wind.

D. More haste, less speed.

【题目】 Many people find that music lifts their spirits. Now a new research shows that music therapy (疗法) can be a useful treatment for depression.

The finding that music therapy offers a real medical benefit to depression sufferers comes from a review by the Cochrane Collaboration, a non-profit group that reviews health care issues. Some studies looked at the effects of providing music therapy to patients who were receiving drug treatment for depression. Others compared music therapy to traditional talk therapy. In four out of five of the trials, music therapy worked better at easing depression symptoms than therapies that did not employ music, the researchers found.

“While the evidence came from a few small studies, it suggests that this is an area that is well worth further investigation.” said lead author Anna Maratos. Ms. Maratos notes that music therapy might be particularly useful for adolescents who may reject a traditional form of counseling. Some older patients also may not be comfortable talking about their feelings but do tend to express themselves through songs.

There are two main types of music therapy. Sometimes, a therapist will listen to music with a patient and talk about the feelings or memories that it arouses. In another form, the therapist is a skilled musician and will improvise (即兴创作) music with the patient. If the patient doesn’t play an instrument, he or she might be given a simple percussion (击打) instrument and the therapist will play along.

Other studies have shown a benefit from music therapy in the treatment for dementia, learning disabilities, strokes and pain management during labor and birth. The problem is that there isn’t very much high-quality research. “It doesn’t easily attract serious research funding. It’s difficult to do high-quality, large-scale trials.” said Ms. Maratos.

【1】Which of the following treatments is NOT mentioned in the research?

A.Drug treatment.B.Talk therapy.C.Music therapy.D.Play therapy.

【2】What’s the attitude of Anna Maratos to music therapy?

A.Positive.B.Negative.C.Indifferent.D.Neutral.

【3】According to the passage, music therapy might not be beneficial to a patient of _______.

A.depressionB.learning disabilitiesC.heart attackD.strokes

【4】We can learn from the passage _______.

A.a middle-aged patient won’t benefit from music therapy

B.patients using music therapy must be able to play an instrument

C.only patients suffering from depression benefit from music therapy

D.high-quality research on the effects of music therapy is limited by funding

【题目】 I took a motor rickshaw to the train station in the city of Belapur. The driver didn’t speak much English, but understood “Belapur Railway Station”. I had my tabla, a traditional drum from India, my suitcase with my clothes and other essentials. The feeling of flying by cars in this little machine is: as if you are inside a box with tiny wheels, dashing through terrible traffic.

I arrived at the station safely, and took a heavy breath as I unloaded my baggage before the ticket office. It was the first time that I had taken a train in India. I wanted to go to Tilak Nagar, where I was going to learn traditional vocal music. Standing in line, I counted at least 20 people staring at me. I bought my ticket, which was only 55 cents for a 20-minute train ride. The prices still blow me away.

When the train came after 15 minutes or so, I got on with all speed, as the train only stops for a few seconds. The locals again stared at me. This was a train especially for local transport. After a while, a young man asked me if he could talk to me. He wanted to know if I was in a band. I stated no, but I love to play the tabla. Through the conversation I knew he was a student of engineering with his exams being tomorrow — I wished him good luck for the exams sincerely, as I know what it means to Indian students to get good marks on their exams. If students do not get good enough scores, job opportunities will be few in a highly-competitive environment.

The student I met helped me unload my luggage as the train reached Tilak Nagar Station. He shook my hand strongly and looked into my eyes with marks of genuine care and friendship, despite us meeting for only 20 minutes.

【1】Which of the following best explains the author’s feeling of riding in a motor rickshaw?

A. Relaxed.B. Courageous.

C. Frightened.D. Excited.

【2】Why did so many people stare at the author at the station?

A. Because he was carrying a strange instrument.

B. Because his suitcase was too large for him.

C. Because he was a foreigner to the local people.

D. Because he couldn’t understand what they said.

【3】What do we know about the young man mentioned in the passage?

A. He wanted to learn to play tabla from the author.

B. He was a student on the way to a university.

C. He was a genuine and helpful university student.

D. He wished to find a job in Tilak Nagar.

【4】What can be the best title for the text?

A. Traveling Is the Most Memorial TimeB. A Warm-hearted Indian Student I Met

C. I Learn to Play the Tabla in IndiaD. My First Train Travel in India
