The castle has a history of nearly 1000 years and has welcomed visitors traveling from all over the world. Arundel Cattle also plays a starring role in many films.‎ The Gardens The White‎ ‎Garden is planted with soft white Iceberg Roses, and Snow White Lilies.‎ The Rose Garden is newly planted with lovely old-fashioned English roses that are at their very best in June and July.‎ The Organic Kitchen Garden produces a wide range of seasonal fruit and vegetables, pears, cherries and apples.‎ The Castle Shop In the Castle Shop, you will discover a wide and interesting range of gift ideas for everyone. It offers gifts and souvenirs designed to appeal to all tastes and pockets. Foods, china, books, and stationery （文具）are all available.

It is one of the most amazing, diverse and easily accessible arts festivals in the UK, offering a mix of visual arts, music, theatre and street entertainment.‎ Parking Coaches and mini-buses can drop off at the main Castle entrance in Mill Road and park in the main town car park that is opposite the Castle entrance.

At the main Castle entrance B A few months after Wu Xingu was congratulated by teachers for graduating from the university, the 23-year-old has been making his dream of relieving tens of thousands of teachers in China from drowning in marking papers（改卷）a reality.‎ Yitiku, an on line software system based on Wu's idea, eases the workload of teachers by doing many of the functions that they did, such as selecting the test questions, forming an exam paper, and preparing exercises for the students.‎ The features of Yitiku may sound quite simple, but this idea won his company millions of dollars from China's Internet giant Tencent in January. The unexpectedly successful fund raising story became a popular conversation starter among the people in the education business.‎ ‎"I can say it's quite an achievement for me and our company. As far as I know, I'm the first CEO bom after 1990s that Tencent has invested （投资）in, and we are the first online education company they have invested in." Wu Xingyu told China Daily.‎ Different from other online companies that treat students as clients （客户）,Yitiku has chosen teachers as their focus. “We make the work of teachers easy. Usually it takes two to three hours for them to prepare a new exam paper. Now it's just three clicks." said Wu. He is quite satisfied with the major feature of the software.‎ Sitting in his 10-square-meter office in Zhonguancun, a hub of innovation （创新）in Beijing, Wu looks confident and chatty when talking about his business. His fast-speed answers give people an impression that he has years of experience in the online education sector. The fact is that he had been putting most of attention in directing courses at an art college until about a year ago.‎ ‎24. The best title for this passage might be .‎ A. 23-year-old wants to ease workload of teachers B. the achievement made by a boy born after 1990s C. Yitiku, an online software system loved by teachers D. A 23-year-old surprises the China's Internet giant ‎25. Yitiku has the following function EXCEPT .‎ A. designing test papers B. choosing the test questions C. teaching the students D. grading papers ‎26. The underlined word "hub” in the last paragraph means .‎ A. special center B. small house C. big market D. supermarket ‎27. What will be continued after the last paragraph?‎ A. Wu's family background B. how Wu got the great idea C. what Wu studied in an art college D. Wu's experience in directing courses C Like all big cities, Paris has a traffic problem: lots of cars, lots of traffic jams （阻塞）and lots of pollution from exhaust fumes （废气）.So the city began a scheme （计划）to improve the situation.‎ Under the Velib scheme （'Velib' conies from velo liberte, or 'bicycle freedom'） people can take a bicycle, use it for as long as they want, and then leave it at the same or another bicycle station. The first half-hour on the bike is free, but if you don't return it after 30 minutes, you have to pay. But it's only €‎1 a day or €‎29 a year! The bicycles are heavy （‎25 kg）, and they are all grey and have baskets. There are about 20,000 of them in the city, and around 1,450 bicycle stations. So there are a lot more Velib stations than the 298 subway stations!‎ Paris‎ is not the first city to have a scheme like this. But not everybody thinks it's a great idea. One Parisian said, "These bicycles are only for short journeys. If people want to travel across the city, they won't use a bicycle — they'll still use their cars."‎ A city spokesman said, "The bicycle scheme won't solve all our traffic problems, of course. But it might help reduce air pollution. Traffic, together with factory fumes, is a big problem. There aren't any simple answers to traffic problems and pollution in cities. But unless we do something now, there will be more traffic jams and temperatures will continue to rise, so the problems in our environment will get worse. The bikes might help people to lead a healthier life, too.”‎ ‎28. What can we learn about the Velib scheme?‎ A. Its bikes have no baskets. B. Its bikes are light and colorful.‎ C. It aims to make traveling easier. D. It owns more stations than the subway.‎ ‎29. If you use a Velib for 1 hour, you should pay .‎ A. €l B.€‎30 ‎C.€29 D. no money ‎30. Why do some people disagree with the Velib scheme?‎ A. The cost is rather high. B. It's hard to find a Velib station.‎ C. It's not suitable for a long journey. D. The distance between two Velib stations is long.‎ ‎31. What's the city spokesman's attitude towards the bicycle scheme?‎ A. Doubtful. B. Positive. C. Uncaring. D. Worried.‎ D I want to talk about the economy. Not "the economy" we hear about endlessly in the news each day and in politicians' speeches. I want to talk about the real economy, the one we live in day by day.‎ Most people aren't particularly interested in "the economy". "Share prices are flying high; interest rates are soaring（猛增的）；the Dow Jones Index closed sixty-three points down on 8472.35." We hear this and subconsciously switch off.‎ Notice that "the economy" is not the same as the economy, "The economy" is what men in suits play with to make vast personal wealth. The economy is where the rest of us live on a daily basis, earning our living, paying our taxes, and purchasing the necessities of life.‎ We are supposed to be benefiting from all the advantages of a well-off society. So why do we feel tired and stressed? We have no time for anything other than work, which is ridiculous given the number of labor-saving devices in our lives. Our towns become more and more crowded. We poison our air and seas, and our food is full of chemicals. There's something wrong here. If times were truly good, then you may think we'd all feel optimistic about the future. Yet the majority of us are deeply worried. More than 90 percent of us think we are too concerned about ourselves and not concerned enough about future generations.‎ The term “economic expansion" suggests something desirable, but expansion simply means spending more money. More spending doesn't mean that life is getting better. We all know it often means the opposite—greed, crime, poverty, pollution. More spending merely feeds our whole economic system, which is based on production and consumption. Unless money keeps circulating, the economy breaks down. If we don't keep consuming, the whole system goes into stalemate（僵局）.‎ How do we break the cycle and make some changes? We need to become far more aware of the results of our actions. We buy clothes that are made in sweat shops by virtual slaves in poor parts of the world. We create mountains of waste. We demand cheap food, mindless of the fact that it totally lacks taste and is produced using chemicals that poison the land.‎ The consumption culture makes us unaware of the effect of our own behavior. Our main problem is not that we don't know what to do about it. It is gathering the desire to do it.‎ ‎32. According to the author, which one belongs to the real economy?‎ A. The Dow Jones Index. B. Increases in interest rates.‎ C. Shopping in a supermarket. D. Skyrocketing share prices.‎ ‎33. It can be concluded from Paragraph 4 that .‎ A. people are benefiting from a well-off society B. the future generation is a big concern for most people C. the majority of people are optimistic about the future D. people still feel much pressure despite labor-saving devices ‎34. What is true about economic expansion?‎ A. It guarantees a better life for us. B. It may lead to some social problems.‎ C. It will stop the circulation of money. D. It has only brought desirable effects.‎ ‎35. The author writes the passage mainly to .‎ A. call on us to change our behavior ‎ B. suggest a solution for over-consumption C. make a distinction between two economies ‎ D. inform us of the effects of economic expansion 第二节（共5小题，每题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Teenagers earning money In the United States, you can only get a full-time job if you are 16 years old or older. But there are things that teenagers can do to earn （赚得）some spending money. Here are a few ideas.‎ Parents with young children sometimes want to go out for dinner or to the movies, but they don't want to leave their children alone. 36 If the children go to bed early, you can do some of your homework!‎ Some adults have a dog, but they don't have time to take it for a walk. 37 So some teenagers work as dog walkers. It's a good idea — you earn money and you're outside in the fresh air. You get some exercise, too!‎ Teenagers can deliver （递送）newspapers. You usually ride a bike around a neighborhood and leave a newspaper at each house. 38 You have to get up early, too, because people want to read their newspaper with their breakfast.‎ ‎39 Some companies pay teens to do online research. They want to know what teens are interested in. It's a fun and easy way to make money. You can also design web pages for friends or adults.‎ Sometimes adults pay teenagers to mow （修整）their lawns （草坪）.It's a great job because you get fresh air and exercise. 40 Then you have regular customers （常客）,because grass always grows!‎ A. Dogs need a lot of exercise!‎ B. It brings a lot of safety problems.‎ C. Normally you have to have your own bike.‎ D. Teenagers can work at home on their computers.‎ E.

After I decided to sell my business, I became an advisor. I worked as an advisor for five years and then I retired. The retirement community I live in requires one to be forty-eight years or older. In the community I engage in many activities, oil painting, watercolor painting, stained glass projects. My major activity, however, is golf. Weather permitting, I play every day. We have a golf course in the community, and since I played more often than I used to before I retired, my game has improved.‎
