If you live near a city center or an airport, you could make anything up to £200 or £300 a week. Put an advertisement（广告）for free on Letpark or Atmyhousepark. Rent a room Spare room? Not only will a lodger（房客）earn you an income, but also, thanks to the government-backed “rent a room” program, you won’t have to pay any tax on the first £4500 you make per year. Try advertising your room on Roomspare or Roommateeasy. Make money during special events Don’t want a full-time lodger? Then rent on a short-term basis. If you live in the capital, renting a room out during the Olympics or other big events could bring in money, Grashpadder can advertise your space. Live on set Renting your home out as a “film set” could earn you hundreds of pounds a day, depending on the film production company and how long your home is needed. A quick search on the Internet will bring up dozens of online companies that allow you to register your home for free—but you will be charged if your home gets picked. Use your roof You need the right kind of roof, but some energy companies pay the cost of fixing solar equipment(around￡14,000), and let you use the energy produced for nothing. In return, they get paid for unused energy fed back into the National Grid. However, you have to sign a 25-year agreement with the supplier, which could prevent you from changing the roof. 21. If you earn ￡5000 from renting a room in one year, the tax you need to pay will be based on ______. A. ￡800 B. ￡500 C. ￡4500 D.5000 22. Where can you put an advertisement to rent out a room during a big event? A. On Letpark. B. On Roomspare. C. On Grashpadder. D. On Roommateeasy. 23. If you want to use energy free, you have to_____. A. sign an agreement with the government B. pay around ￡14,000 for the equipment C. sell the roof to some energy companies D. keep the roof unchanged for within 25 years 24. For whom the text most probably written? A. Lodgers. B. Advertisers. C. House owners. D. Online companies B 　I consider Lily to be my best friend because she is always very good to me. She’s always with me in times of difficulties and she is always there waiting for me. When I have problems and feel empty and upset, she’s always by my side to comfort me. 　We’ve been together for two years. I met her during our college days. She was my classmate, but I can tell that we were not so close at that time, maybe because we had our own friends and maybe our attention was always on them, so I didn’t even notice her. Yet there were times that she was with me during my lunch break. That is why we slowly became close. We had our lunch together in the boarding house but sometimes not, probably because we had our own friends. 　And when we took our break, we bought our favorite food together, but not that often since we didn’t have enough money. Furthermore, we were together in the student union, which was nice for me to know her better. I can say that she is really a nice friend. She is the kind of person that is very approachable in times of emptiness. 　She is a friend whom I can call every time I need help. Definitely, I am so glad that I have her. Currently, we are working together as freelance writers online. We both work as contractors (承包人) in oDesk. We are very happy with working together, and we are looking forward to earning some money so that we can go on vacation together. 　 Friendships may not last. Friendships can lose importance and die gradually. However, I believe she will be a lifelong friend of mine. 25. Which of the following statements is NOT true? A. They have been friends for two years. B. They often had lunch in the boarding house. C. The author is good at writing. D. Lily is a full-time teacher at college. 26. The author considers her friend Lily to be ______. A. distant B. innocent C. helpful D. wealthy 27. According to the passage, the author is ______ about their friendship. A. optimistic B. embarrassed C. nervous D. unsure 28. The author mainly wants to tell us ______. A. their close and valuable friendship B. the education they have received C. how to work part-time effectively D. how to build good relationships C Many cities around the world today are heavily polluted. Careless methods of production and lack of consumer demand for environment friendly products have contributed to the pollution problem. One result is that millions of tons of glass, paper, plastic, and metal containers are produced, and these are difficult to get rid of. However, today, more and more consumers are choosing “green” and demanding that the products they buy should be safe for the environment. Before they buy a product, they ask questions like these: “Will this shampoo damage the environment?” “Can this metal container be reused or can it only be used once?” A recent study showed that two out of five adults now consider the environmental safety of a product before they buy it. This means that companies must now change the way they make and sell their products to make sure that they are “green,” that is, friendly to the environment. Only a few years ago, it was impossible to find green products in supermarkets, but now there are hundreds. Some supermarket products carry labels(标签) to show that the product is green. Some companies have made the manufacturing (生产) of clean and safe products their main selling point and emphasize it in their advertising. The concern for a safer and cleaner environment is making companies rethink how they do business. No longer will the public accept the old attitude of “Buy it, use it, throw it away, and forget it.” The public pressure is on, and gradually business is cleaning up its act. 29. It becomes clear from the text that the driving force behind green products is ______ A. public caring for the environment B. companies desire for bigger sales C. new ways of doing business D. rapid growth of supermarkets 30. What would be the best title for the text? A. Business and People B. Business Goes Green C. Shopping Habits Are Changing D. Supermarkets and Green Products 31. The underlined word “it” in the fourth paragraph refers to _____ A. a selling point B. the company name C. a great demand for health foods D. the manufacturing of green products D Cloning is suggested as a means of bringing back a relative, usually a child, killed unfortunately. Some parents can understand that wish, but it must first be recognized that the copy would be a new baby and not the lost child. Here lies the difficulty, for the sad parents are seeking not a new baby but a return of the dead one. Since the original would be fondly remembered as having particular talents and interests, would not the parents expect the copy to be the same? It is possible, however, that the copy would develop quite differently. Is it fair to the new child to be placed in a family with such unnatural expectations? Copying is also suggested as a means by which parents can have the child of their dreams. Couples might choose to have a copy of a film star, baseball player or scientist, depending on their interests. But because personality is only partly the result of genetic inheritance, conflicts would be sure to arise if the cloned child failed to develop the same interests as the original. What if the copy of Einstein shows no interest in science? Or the baseball player turns to acting? Success also depends on fortune. What if the child does not live up to the hopes and dreams of their parents simply because of bad luck? Every child should be wanted for itself, as a person. In making a copy of oneself or some famous person, a parent is purposely specifying the way he or she wishes that child to develop. In recent years, particularly in the U. S., much importance has been placed on the right of individuals to reproduce in ways that they wish. So I suggest there should be a greater need to consider the interests of the child and to reject these suggested uses of cloning. 32. The underlined part "the difficulty" in Paragraph 1 refers to ________. A. cloning a baby is difficult B. it's difficult to give birth to a new baby C. the dead child can't come back again D. the cloned baby can't replace the lost child 33. The sentence "Success also depends on fortune" in paragraph 2 implies that ________. A. the result may be unpredictable B. the child does not live up to the parents' hopes C. the cloned child fails to develop the same interest as the original D. the baseball player turns to acting 34. In the third paragraph, the author suggests that ______. A. the cloned child is viewed as independent B. the right of growing in his own way is taken away from the cloned child. C. parents carefully protect the rights of the cloned child D. parents are eager to wish the cloned child to be somebody. 35. In this passage, the author is mainly concerned about ______. A. the future of a cloned child B. the possibility of cloning people C. the importance of cloning a lost child D. the problems of cloning life 第二节 （共 5 小题；每小题 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。 Forgiveness To forgive is a virtue, but no one has ever said it is easy. When someone has deeply hurt you, it can be extremely difficult to let go of your hate. However, forgiveness is possible, and it can be surprisingly beneficial to your physical and mental health. People who forgive show less sadness, anger and stress and more hopefulness, according to a recent research. 36 Try the following steps: Calm yourself. 37____ You can take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, or someone you love. Don’t wait for an apology. Many times the person who hurt you does not intend to apologize. They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don’t see things the same way. 38_______ Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean becoming friends again with the person who upset you. Take the control away from your offender(冒犯者). Rethinking about your hurt gives power to the person who causes you pain. Instead of focusing on your mounded feelings, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you. 39_______ If you understand your offender, you may realize that he or she was acting out of unawareness, fear, and even love. You may want to write a letter to yourself from your offender’s point of view. Don’t forget to forgive yourself. 40 But it can rob you of your self-confidence if you don’t do it. A. Why should you forgive? B. How should you start to forgive? C. Recognize the benefits of forgiveness. D. Try to see things from you offender’s angle. E. For some people, forgiving themselves is the biggest challenge. F. To make your anger die away, try a simple stress-management technique. G. If you wait for people to apologize, you could be waiting an awfully long time. 第三部分：语言知识运用（共两节，满分 45 分） 第一节：完形填空（共 20 小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分 30 分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C 和 D）中，选出 可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 “When you are young you just believe there will be many people with whom you will connect. Later in life you’ll realize it happens only a few times.” I don’t remember where I 41 this saying, but it makes sense. There was a time when I never thought twice before 42 with a friend, not caring what would happen if we fell apart mainly because I thought that I would 43 many friends in my life later on. 44 after a period of about five springs, I can hardly say that I still think the same. 45 , I believe good friends are very few and hard to 46 and therefore, it is wise to hold on to the ones we have had in life.

The topic of my speech is How to Protect Our Environment. It is known to us all what the environment around us is getting worse and worse. In some places, we can’t see fish swam in the river or trees on the hills. What’s worse, some people even have no cleanly water to drink. So I think some measure should be taken to protect the environment. First of all, we can go to school on foot or by bike instead cars or buses. Besides, we can use shopping baskets not plastic bags after we go shopping. What’s more, we’d better to use both sides of the paper when we write. In a word, if everyone pay more attention to our environment, there will be fewer pollution and our life will be better. There is only one earth, therefore, let’s take our responsibility to protect our environment well.

In your last letter you mentioned that you had some difficulty in making and maintaining new friends in a new class. Firstly, I suggest that one important thing to remember when trying to get along with others is to listen. When someone is talking to you, look at him and don’t interrupt him. Another thing I want to remind you is that you should compromise, which means when you don’t agree with each other, one or both of you should agree to give up something to find a solution. Last but not least, you should keep in mind that it takes time and energy to build new friendship. You can’t expect to become friends with someone without spending time with him. I sincerely hope my suggestions can be helpful for you. I am looking forward to your reply. Yours, LiHua 听力原文 Text 1 M: Do you have any plans for the weekend, Dorothy?
