All that is required is a bit of imagination and some time set aside for fun. And the best part is that these are the kind of memories a child will remember for a lifetime. ‎ Family game night Find out any of the games that are already around the house. Kids often get computer games for Christmas or birthdays, and would love to have a chance to play with their family. Or, make up some games of your own. “Charades” is a fun game to play that will challenge a child to use his/her imagination. Divide the family into teams and let each team come up with words that the other has to act out.‎ Family art time ‎ Pick some time for the family to sit down and come up with their own masterpiece. It doesn't need to be just a drawing -- take some old magazines sitting around the ‎ house, let the kids cut out pictures and paste them into their own montage. Or, use items from nature. Let them use leaves, pine cones, twigs and whatever else they can find to create something from their imaginations.‎ Family Picnic Taking the family for a picnic is a great way for some fun that doesn't cost any money. If the weather is nice, take them to a park or playground and let the kids have a day of playing. Or, if it is the middle of winter and a foot of snow is on the ground, set up a picnic in the living room.‎ Family Field Trip A family field trip doesn't have to cost a dime. Ask a nearby farm if it would be alright to bring your kids out for a tour and to see some of the animals. Or take them to a park and make a scavenger hunt where they need to find certain items from nature. Ask a local business if you could bring the family for a tour to see how things work -- you might be surprised at the number of people who would be thrilled to share what they do with others, and it could be an interesting lesson for the kids.‎ ‎ 1. We can learn from the passage that “charades” ________.‎ A. is a computer game B. is too difficult for children ‎ C. involves acting out words D. should be played by more than four people ‎ ‎2. According to the passage, the family picnic____________.‎ A. should be held in the middle of winter B. can be held inside your house C. will be very meaningful if held in offices D. will cost much money if held on a farm ‎ ‎3. Who might be most interested in this passage? _________.‎ A. Parents B. Teachers C. Kids D. People in general ‎ B ‎ Europe is now the biggest market for organic food in the world, having grown by 25  percent a year over the past 10 years. Denmark’s agriculture minister is herself an organic farmer. The UK market for organic food grew by 55 percent in 2000,‎ ‎ while the food market as a whole grew by only one percent. Yet only seven percent of British shoppers account for nearly 90 percent of organic sales. However popular the idea of organic farming may be, it is still an interest for only a few people.     So what makes the idea of organic farming popular? Organic farming means farming with natural materials, rather than with man-made fertilizers or pesticides. Organic farmers rely on many  methods — such as crop rotation (农作物的轮作) and the use of resistant varieties, because they are necessary for organic farmers to compensate for the shortage of man-made chemicals.     Organic farming is often supposed to be safer than traditional farming for the environment. Yet after a long research on organic farming worldwide for a number of years, science continues to be against this opinion. The House of Commons committee on agriculture publicized that, even with complete research work, it would fail to find any scientific evidence to prove “that any of claims （宣称） made for organic farming is always true”.     However, the talk about the benefits of organic farming is going on. This is partly because many people depend on their individual farm, the soil, the weather, and so on.  4. The first paragraph mainly tells us _____.    A. organic farming has been performed only in Europe over the past 10 years    B. governments of European countries have cared less about organic farming    C. organic farming is far from being as popular as expected D. European countries need organic food more than the other countries in the world 5. The underlined words “compensate for” in the second paragraph probably mean “________”.    A. argue for     B. care for    C. struggle for   D. pay for 6. According to the third paragraph, _____.   A. organic farming is safer than traditional farming for the environment    B. the idea that organic farming is safer has not been proven by science   C. organic farming is accepted by the UK’s House of Commons ‎ committee    D. organic farming is preferred to traditional farming 7. Which of the following is TRUE, according to the passage?   A. The UK’s agriculture minister is an organic farmer.   B. Organic farming is popular with young people.   C. Farmers make use of many different kinds of methods to improve the organic sales system.   D. Ninety-three percent of British shoppers seldom buy organic products.‎ C ‎ The Bronte sisters were three sisters who became famous novelists． Their lives and works are connected with the lonely moors of Yorkshire, England, where they lived． Patrick Bronte, the sisters’ father, was a poor Irishman who became the parish clergyman of the small, isolated town of Haworth, Yorkshire． Bronte was somewhat strange and tended to be strict． His wife died in 1821 and her sister brought up the family out of duty, but with little love or understanding． The sisters went to several boarding schools where they received a better education than usual for girls at that time, but in a bad atmosphere．‎ ‎ Few jobs were available for women at that time, and the Bronte sisters, except for occasional jobs as governesses or schoolteachers, lived their entire lives at home． They were shy, poor, and lonely, and occupied themselves with music, drawing, reading and ---above all---writing． Their isolation led to the early development of their imaginations． In 1846, under the male pen names of Currer, Ellis, and Acton Bell, the sisters published a joint volume of poems．Although only two copies were sold, all three sisters soon had their first novels published．‎ ‎ Charlotte Bronte’s most famous novel Jane Eyre（1847）is largely autobiographical．Through the heroine, Charlotte relived her hated boarding school life and her experiences as a governess in a large house．Rochester, the hero and master of the house, is fictional．Jane Eyre was enormously successful, but many readers were shocked that Rochester, who tried to make Jane his mistress, should be rewarded by marrying her．Some readers were also shocked because Jane wanted to be ‎ regarded as a thinking and independent person, rather than as a weak female．‎ ‎ Charlotte Bronte wrote three other novels．The first one, The Professor, was not published until 1857, after her death．Shirley（1849）is set among the labour riots of the early 1800s．Villette（1853） the most popular of the three, is based on Charlotte’s unhappy experiences as a governess in Brussels．‎ ‎8．The underlined word“autobiographical”in paragraph 3 most probably means _______．‎ ‎   A．popular B．likely to cause sympathy ‎   C．relating to her own life  D．concerning female issues ‎9．We can infer from the passage that _______．‎ ‎   A．the three sisters were badly treated by their step-mother ‎   B．The three Bronte sisters were brought up in ‎Ireland ‎   C．Haworth was suffering high unemployment at the time of the three Bronte sisters ‎   D．writing was not intended for women in the 19th century in ‎Britain ‎10．In many readers’ eyes, Rochester, _______．‎ ‎   A．acted too rudely towards Jane B．did not deserve to be Jane’s husband ‎   C．was too bad to be truthful      D．should be Jane’s master as well as her husband ‎11．What will probably be discussed in the coming paragraphs of this passage?‎ ‎   A．The other two sisters’ works．        B．Charlotte Bronte’s life in Brussels．‎ ‎    C．What is talked about in the novel, Villette．    D．Why their novels outweighed (超过)their poems．‎ D ‎ Given Australia’s size and the fact that early settlements were far apart, Australian society is remarkably homogeneous (同种的). The way of life in the major cities and towns is much the same, however many miles divide them. It takes a sharp ear to tell the differences between regional accents.‎ However, there is some difference in lifestyle between people in the city and those in the countryside. Almost 90 per cent of the population lives in the fast-paced cities along the coast and has little more than a passing familiarity with the desert. The major cities keep some colonial (殖民的) heritage, but the overall impression is modern, with new buildings reflecting the country’s youth. By comparison, the rural communities tend to be slow-moving. For many years, Australia was said to have “ridden on the sheep’s back”, a reference to wool being the country’s main money-earner. However, the wool industry is no longer dominant. Much of Australia’s economy is now achieved from natural coal and wheat, and by being the largest diamond producer in the world. Newer industries such as tourism and wine making are also increasingly important. Australians are generally friendly and relaxed, with a self-deprecating sense of humor. On the whole, Australia is a society without hierarchies (等级制度), an attitude generally held to stem from its prisoner beginnings.‎ Yet, contrary to popular belief, very few Australians have true prisoner origins. Within only one generation of the arrival of the First Fleet in 1788, Australia had become a nation of immigrants. Originally coming almost entirely from the British Isles, today one in three Australians comes from elsewhere. Australia’s liberal postwar immigration policies (政策) led to a growing number of survivors from war-torn Europe, most notably Greeks, Italians, Poles and Germans.‎ The emphasis has changed in recent years and today most of the new immigrants are from Southeast Asia. Today Australia is a ‘blend of nations’ and although some racial (种族的) problems exist, it has generally been a successful experiment and the country is proud to have one of the most harmonious multicultural communities in the world.‎ ‎12. What does the writer mean by saying “It takes a sharp ear to tell the differences between regional accents.” in the first paragraph?‎ A. Australians speak Standard English with no local accents whatsoever.‎ B. You have to practice a lot to learn to understand the different accents.‎ C. The Australian regional accents are very difficult to understand indeed.‎ D. There is not much difference between the accents in different areas of Australia.‎ ‎13. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?‎ A. Most Australians have ancestors who were prisoners.‎ B. The Australian economy is dependent on sheep exports.‎ C. Most people living in Australia come from Europe.‎ D. The pace of life is different in the city and in the country.‎ ‎14. We can infer from the passage that _____.‎ A. there are no signs of Australia’s colonial past in its modern cities B. Australia’s recent immigration policy encourages immigrants from ‎Southeast Asia C. immigrants from Southeast Asia have brought racial problems D. “riding on sheep’s back” resulted in slow development in rural communities ‎15. This passage mainly focuses on Australia’s ______.‎ A. society B. economy C. racial problems D. history 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。‎ Remembering names is an important social skill. Here are some ways to master it. ‎ ‎1. Recite and repeat in conversation. ‎ When you hear a person’s name，repeat it. 16 . You could also repeat the name in a way that does not sound forced or artificial. ‎ ‎2. Ask the other person to recite and repeat. ‎ You can let other people help you remember their names.
