【题目】Londoners are great readers.They buy vast numbers of newspapers and magazines and of books-especially paperbacks,which are still comparatively cheap in spite of everincreasing rises in the costs of printing.They still continue to buy “proper”books,too,printed on good paper and bound(装订)between hard covers.

There are many streets in London containing shops which specialize in bookselling.Perhaps the best known of these is Charring Cross Road in the very heart of London.Here bookshops of all sorts and sizes are to be found,from the celebrated one which boasts of being “the biggest bookshop in the world”to the tiny,dusty little places which seem to have been left over from Dickens' time.Some of these shops stock,or will obtain,any kind of books,but many of them specialize in secondhand books,in art books,in foreign books,in books on philosophy,politics or any other of the countless subjects about which books may be written.One shop in this area specializes only in books about ballet!

Although it may be the most convenient place for Londoners to buy books,Charring Cross Road is not the cheapest.For the really cheap secondhand books,the collector must venture off the beaten track,to Farringdon Road,for example,in the East Central district of London.Here there is nothing so impressive as bookshops.The booksellers come along each morning and pour out their sacks of books onto small handcarts.And the collectors,some professionals and some amateurs,have been waiting for them.In places like this they can still,occasionally,pick up for a few pence an old one that may be worth many pounds.

【题目】If you are like most international students, you are probably pretty comfortable reading and writing in English, but not as comfortable with listening and speaking in the language. 1

Make friends with American students. Many international students end up making friends with a lot of—or only—other international students. 2Hanging out with natives not only naturally pushes you to improve your spoken English, but also helps you pick up cultural and social information.

Learn from American friends. Tell your American friends that you are trying to improve your listening and speaking skills, and would like them to help you. If you pronounce a word incorrectly, or misuse an idiom, you want them to tell you. 3

Increase your knowledge. 4 If you have known about the topics that are likely to be discussed in conversation, you have a much better chance of understanding people when they talk, and of being able to express yourself well.

5 If you have to explain something to someone, you have a strong desire to pronounce everything as well as you can, and find other ways to explain yourself. Finally, this becomes a good habit. Many people have asked me how I learned to speak English fluently, and I think it is because of my being a math teacher in college for years.

A. I don't think this is a good idea.

B. You will learn much faster this way.

C. If possible, become a teacher at your school.

D. It's a win-win opportunity for international students.

E. Read books, keep up with news and watch popular shows and movies.

F. It's a good way to make some extra cash while improving your English.

G. Below are some tips to help you to improve your conversational skills.

【题目】Winters are long and unforgiving in North Dakota. The winter of 1996 was especially brutal. It was a hard time in my own life too, A neck injury had kept me flat in bed for nearly a year. “Just in time for Easter,” my husband, Dick, said. But how could I feel the joy when the snow was four feet deep and I had months of painful physical treatment ahead?

I was doing the dishes one day, feeling hopeless when there was a tap against the glass. It was a branch of the troublesome cottonwood (棉白杨).Back in the fall of 1979, it was a new subdivision (分支) then, an eight-foot stick. The people who’d briefly occupied the house before us had placed the pipe from the pump next to it. The earth was so wet that the poor thing had fallen down, most of its bare root system pointing skyward, and blowing hopelessly back and forth in the cold wind. Dick decided to pull it out one day, but I disapproved of it.

“Look at how hard it’s trying!” I said, pointing to the way it strongly kept hold of the earth. “It deserves a chance.”

Dick borrowed some tools. We packed dry soil around the tree and put up some stakes () into the ground, making it stand upright. That winter was still terrible. Surprisingly, in the spring my “rescue stick” put forth a few leaves, then with lots of branches. The year after that, we were able to remove the stakes. By the 1990s that little stick was a giant, towering over the house.

Now the tapping at the window continued, louder as the wind picked up, almost as though to tell me to look up. At last, I did. I caught ray breath. In the window against the icy blue sky, thousands and thousands of fresh red buds were waving in the wind.

The tree was bursting with life and I had a wonderful Easter.

1】【1What is the meaning of the underlined word “brutal” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?

A. busy. B. hard.

C. long. D. warm.

2】【2How did Dick rescue the new subdivision?

A. By supporting the stick firmly.

B. By watering the stick regularly.

C. By distributing chemical fertilizer.

D. By gathering sticks day and night.

3】【3What is the author’s purpose in writing the last paragraph?

A. To inform us of the current condition of her cottonwood.

B. To imply that she’d spent the hardest time and felt hopeful.

C. To tell us that the tree had survived from the awful winter

D. To suggest what she was going to do for the coming festival.

4】【4Which of the following can serve as the main idea of the passage?

A. A friend in need is a friend indeed,

B. There is no garden without its weeds.

C. Success is the accumulation of sweat,

D. Where there is life, there is hope.
