We arrived here tired, but excited. This is our first trip to Asia. We are looking forward to eating Vietnamese food for dinner tonight. Our hotel is cheap, but very clean. The owner gave us free drinks when we arrived, and has told us about some places that we shouldn’t miss. We plan to stay here in Ho Chi Minh City for a few days and visit temples in the city, and then travel to the north.‎ March 27th ‎ Vietnam is fantastic! We visited a market in Cho Lon and saw many kinds of fruits and vegetables. Everything was so colorful, and we took hundreds of photographs! Later today we’ll take the train north. We’ll stay in Hanoi for two days, and then catch a bus to Sapa. We’re going to go hiking in the mountains.‎ April 4th ‎ Now we’re in the old capital city of Hue. Our trip to Sapa was long and tiring. From there, we took a truck to a small village in the mountains, and we went hiking for three days. This afternoon, we’re taking a walking tour in Hue. We’re going to visit the Forbidden Purple City, where the emperor lived.‎ April 6th ‎ Hue is really a special city with lots to see. I would love to stay longer, but we’re both ready for the beach. Tomorrow we’ll take the train back to the south, and then we’re going to a town called Vung Tau. It has several beaches, and it’‎ s famous for seashell crafts(手艺).

On April 21st. D. On April 28th. ‎ B ‎ This month, my 7-year-old daughter invited her friend to sleep over. Her mom, who had told me before she did not allow sleepovers, explained that she did not think the kids were ready for a sleepover until the age of 10. I then started to wonder whether there actually was a “right” age for a sleepover.‎ ‎ I remember the first real sleepover I ever had. It happened when I was about 13 and a friend of mine invited me to sleep at her house. Luckily for me, her parents were not strangers.‎ ‎ I think I cried for 2 months straight before being allowed my first sleepover. My parents were not completely heartless, though. I was actually sick at the time and had to take medication and they were very concerned about that, but I still did not like them saying “no”.‎ ‎ I remember my excitement the day before I finally got my sleepover. I could not sleep that night from the excitement. When I got there , my friend’s house looked ‎ so beautiful and her parents were so nice and welcoming.‎ ‎ Unfortunately though, the number of sleepovers I had throughout my childhood can be counted on two hands. And after every one of them, I realized exactly how much I was missing. It was only as an adult, when I was studying education, that I actually learned about the importance of sleepovers in kids’ development no matter how old they are.‎ ‎ A sleepover is one of those things every child needs experience on their own. It can do them a lot of good.‎ ‎25. The friend of the author’s daughter ______.‎ ‎ A. is too sick to sleep over B. is less than ten years old ‎ C. never listens to her mother D. has grown tired of sleepover ‎26. How was the author’s first sleepover?‎ ‎ A. It was really boring. B. She can’t remember it.‎ ‎ C. It was a painful experience D. She thinks it was enjoyable.‎ ‎27. The author writes the text mainly to _____.‎ ‎ A. explain what kids’ development is B. discuss how strict parents should be ‎ C. encourage children to have sleepovers ‎ D. ask parents to keep an eye on their children C The owner of an Indian food shop in Bristol was astounded to receive an apology letter and money in compensation(补偿) from a thief who stole from his shop seven years ago.‎ The shop owner, Imran Ahmed, 27, said he never expected that the thief would get in touch after so long. He said he remembered returning to the shop to find his windows broken and goods stolen. He didn’t know whether the police had ever caught anyone in connection with the crime(犯罪活动) because they hadn’t remembered to contact him. He supposed that the case had been closed long ago, so he just tried to forget it and went on doing business as usual.‎ Seemingly, the criminal had not been planning to rob the shop that night in 2008---the letter says,’ About seven years ago I was walking past your shop late ‎ one night when I noticed that someone had broken into it .’ With the shop front wide open, there was nothing to prevent the thief from stepping inside and taking anything he wanted. There were some cigarettes lying there and the thief grabbed them and ran.‎ Now, it seems the mystery thief regrets stealing from the shop and has stopped carrying out such crimes. At the time of the robbery, ‘my life was in a mess,’ the ashamed thief explained in the letter, but now ‘I’m trying to lead an honest life.’‎ The shop owner, Mr Ahmed, was moved by the letter. In fact, he was so touched and pleased by the thief’s change of heart that he is planning to give the money to charity. His said, ’I would love to find out who he was but I don’t think he will contact us. It’s amazing this has happened and to have something like this happen is really good.’ He has put it away and it is well kept in a box.‎ Avon and Somerset Police spokesman Steve Game said, ‘ The police are very pleased to hear that a victim(受害人) has received some compensation for a crime. The letter shows that criminals can change their lives for the better.’‎ ‎28. What does the underlined word “astounded” in Paragraph 1 mean?‎ ‎ A. Proud. B. Regretful. C. Surprised. D. Relaxed.‎ ‎29. What did the thief do that night?‎ ‎ A. He broke into the shop ‎ B. He robbed the shop as planned.‎ ‎ C. He stole something from the shop.‎ ‎ D. He carried out a crime with his partners.‎ ‎30. Why did the thief make an apology for his behavior?‎ ‎ A. He wanted to put his past mistake right.‎ ‎ B. He experienced a similar robbery.‎ ‎ C. His stealing brought shame on his family.‎ ‎ D. His joining charity changed him.‎ ‎31. How did Mr Ahmed react after reading the litter?‎ ‎ A. He handed it over to the police.‎ ‎ B. He would meet the thief in person.‎ ‎ C. He felt happy for the thief’s becoming good.‎ ‎ D. He wondered how the thief was over the years.‎ D Feeling lonely has a bigger influence on older people’s life expectancy(预期寿命) than smoking, top government adviser David Halpern said earlier this year.‎ This shocking fact, given that loneliness is reaching high levels in the UK – with 3.1 million over – 65s going more than a week without seeing a friend or family member – has caused quite a debate. Later retirement age is one idea for how the government might respond, but I think we can make a change without waiting for a new law.‎ My solution? Yup, you guessed it: the web. OK, I’m not mad enough to suggest that a piece of electronic equipment is a magic bullet(灵丹妙药) to loneliness, but I do ,hand on heart ,think that encouraging more older people to get online is the simplest and cheapest tool we can equip them with so they can reawaken old, or form new, friendships.‎ One of my favorite jobs as Digital Champion is judging Age UK’s Internet Champion of the Year Award. Looking through this year’s shortlist, it was obvious that each participant had been suddenly filled with a desire to socialize because of the way the net had widened their social circle. Reading the shortlist, what also struck me was how far from rocket science getting older people online is.‎ One of this year’s winners, Brenda, has a great story that’s both totally special and also very typical .Brenda felt extremely lonely after her husband’s death. Several months later, she got online. Having quickly got used to using the computer, Brenda amazingly managed to make contact with a soldier who had stayed with her family during the Second World War. Starting up their friendship again after more than half a century is the kind of miracle(奇迹) the Internet has made us almost take for granted – but which would have been almost unthinkable just ten years ago.‎ ‎32. Why did the author suggest the web as a solution?‎ ‎ A. It is an all-purpose tool.‎ ‎ B. It is strongly advised by the government.‎ ‎ C. It is the only way older people make new friends.‎ ‎ D. It can solve the problem of loneliness in an easy way.‎ ‎33. What did the author learn from the shortlist?‎ ‎ A. Participants had a similar social circle.‎ ‎ B. Participants found it difficult to get online.‎ ‎ C. Participants benefited greatly from the web.‎ ‎ D. Participants knew each other because of the net.‎ ‎34. As a lonely old woman, Brenda _____.‎ ‎ A. searched hard for her old friend ‎ B. became a new friend of a soldier ‎ C. lived alone for more than half a century ‎ D. got in touch with an old friend on the net ‎ ‎35. What is the best title for the text?‎ ‎ A. Friends Online B. Debate on Loneliness ‎ C. Encourage Older People D. Help an Internet Beginner 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真入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ How to learn a foreign language ‎1. Spend the time!‎ ‎36 This means listening, reading, writing, speaking, and studying words and phrases. This means finding enjoyable ways to spend as much time experiencing the language you are learning as possible.‎ ‎2. Listen and read every day!‎ ‎ Listen wherever you are on your MP3 player. Read what you are listening to. Listen to and read things that you like, things that you can mostly understand, or even partly understand. 37‎ ‎3.
