However, Britain is quite an expensive place to study and live in. Tuition fees have now reached £ 9,250 a year and students also face some of the highest living costs in the world.Fortunately, there are a number of countries where universities offer degree programs entirely in English, along with the chance to learn the local language while you live there. Here are three of the options broken down in detail.‎ University of Amsterdam The Dutch capital is not a cheap city to live in, but standard tuition fees of £ 1,800 a year make it significantly cheaper than a British degree. There are 14 bachelor’s degrees on offer that are taught in English, including Political Science, Economics & Business Economics and Actuarial Science. Nearly all Dutch people speak English, making it an easy country to get by in.‎ Tianjin University Moving to China is not for the faint-hearted. Undergraduate degree courses at Tianjin last four years. Living costs are only around £ 400 a month and tuition fees are £ 2,300 a year. Flights will cost £ 3,600 over the four years. The total cost, at £ 28,800, is still around half that of a three-year degree in Britain. Tianjin is one of the world’s latest cities and is only a half-hour train ride from Beijing. Three undergraduate programs are offered in English: Chemical Engineering, Environment & Energy and Pharmaceutical Science.‎ University of Milan The University of Milan’s fees range from £ 140 to £3,650 a year. The one bachelor’s degree offered entirely in English-Political Science is a three-year course. While living costs in Milan are high, the significantly lower fees make it a cheaper option than a British university.‎ ‎21.Which course can’t be learned in these three universities?‎ A. Actuarial Science B. Psychology C. Economics & Business Economics D. Chemical Engineering ‎22.Where can you major in Political Science?‎ A. London and Tianjin. B.Amsterdam and London.‎ C. Amsterdam and Milan.D.Tianjin and Milan.‎ ‎23.What is probably the total cost of a three-year degree in Britain?‎ A.£ 14,400 B.£ 27,750 C .£ 57,600D.£ 28,800‎ ‎24. What is the purpose of the text?‎ A. To introduce some affordable universities.‎ B.To encourage people to study abroad.‎ C.To advertise some degree programs.‎ D.To compare tuition fees and living costs.‎ B In Florida,one McDonald’s customer stared a pay-it-forward chain that inspired other 249 customers to be generous and do the same.‎ ‎ ABC News reports the spirit of giving is in the air as 250 drive-thru（免下车服务）customer at a local McDonald’s paid for the meals of the people next to the them.Lakeland customer Torie Keene was paying for her food on Wednesday morning when she decided to pay for the meal of the car next to her.‎ ‎ Keene then purposely told McDonald’s cashier Marisabel Figueroa to greet the other customer“Merry Christmas”and not “Happy Holidays.” The next customer was moved when Figueroa said her food was already paid by the previous car.That’s when she thought that she would love to do the same and the domino effect followed.‎ Figueroa,who worked from 9 a.m.to 3 p.m.on Wednesday,said that the chain reaction almost lasted for her entire shift.“I just kept giving everyone the same message,and they were all so stunned and so happy”,she continued,“One lady even paid for the meals of the next three cars behind her.”While people were amazed by how generous they could get,Figueroa said she had “never experienced something like that before” in her 12 years of working for McDonald’s.‎ Keene contacted Figueroa on Facebook when the pay-it-forward chain came out in the local news.She revealed that she was the “mystery customer” that started the long chain of kindness.‎ Keene added that she was surprised by the number of people who continued her good deed when she was only trying to brighten someone’s day.‎ 25. Who started the pay-it-forward chain?‎ A.Torie Keene from Lakeland.B. Marisabel Figueroa.‎ C. Manager of a McDonald’s. D. Father Christmas.‎ ‎26. What’re the drivers’ reactions towards the generous behavior?‎ A. Lucky and unbelievable.B. Funny and surprised.‎ C. Amazed and moved. D. Ridiculous and happy.‎ ‎27. For how long did the chain last?‎ A. A week. B. A whole day.‎ C. About twelve hours. D. About six hours.‎ C Amazon.com has received patent(专利) rights to send its products to customers by unmanned drone aircraft(无人机).The company is the largest U.S.-based online seller of products. It delivers those products to customers electronically, by mail and by other delivery services.‎ In March, federal officials gave Amazon permission to test its drone delivery plan. But even with a patent and the ability of drones to make deliveries, it does not appear they will put its new delivery system in place any time soon. The U.S. Patent Office published the document. It describes Amazon’s plans to use the Global Positioning System, or GPS, to deliver products to homes and to wherever people are.‎ The drone will use a customer’s mobile device-usually a smart phone-to avoid hitting people or buildings and to identify a safe area to land. The company wants to deliver products within 30 minutes of people ordering them on its website.‎ Amazon is not yet offering drone delivery. But Professor Alkalay says it will not be long before it does. “I do think that in the reasonable future they’re going to start doing deliveries. We already see deliveries being done in disaster areas, in remote areas. I think there’s huge demand for that type of delivery.”‎ Professor Alkalay says there are concerns that the drones will crash into objects or people, or that the products and drones will be stolen or intentionally damaged. But she says that is because many people believe the drones would only deliver the products to the front door of a house. “If you think of drone delivery perhaps to your rooftop, then you would have an opportunity to separate the pedestrian and the vehicular traffic, and at the same time separateit from air traffic.”‎ Professor Alkalay notes that American homes are not currently able to receive deliveries on ‎ their roof tops. However, it is possible that homes will one day have special areas on their roofs designed to receive products deliveries.‎ ‎28.What can we learn from the passage?‎ A. Amazon has put its new delivery system in place.‎ B. Amazon wants to deliver products within 20 minutes.‎ C. American home can’t receive deliveries on their roof tops now.‎ D. Amazon is the second largest online seller of products in America.‎ ‎29.How can the drone land in a safe area without hitting people or buildings?‎ A. By using a customer’s smart phone.‎ B. By using the website of the delivery company.‎ C. By using the Global Positioning System.‎ D. By using the mobile device placed in the delivery company.‎ ‎30.The underlined word “it” in Para.5 refers to “_________”.‎ A. the rooftop B. drone delivery ‎ C. the vehicular traffic D. the front door of a house ‎31. What is the theme of the passage?‎ A. Amazon delivers products electronically.‎ B. Amazon receives patent for drone delivery system C. Amazon is trying to make its drone technology safe.‎ D. Amazon-a U.S.-based online seller of products.‎ D Sucking blood is a risky business. At least for the female mosquitoes that need those nutrients to feed their developing eggs. Not only do they have to find a suitable blood donor, but once they’ve had their fill, they have to be able to escape unnoticed. How they handle this secret departure skillfully has just been revealed in the “Journal of Experimental Biology”.‎ Feasting on an unsuspecting mammal can double a mosquito’s body mass. So how does a fully loaded female mosquito leave the host’s skin without triggering(触发) its pressure sensors and bring on that fateful slap(拍击)?To find out, Florian Muijres of Wageningen University in the Netherlands ‎ and his colleagues used cameras to film how the 63 blood-fed mosquitoes took off.‎ What they discovered is, when it comes to a soft yet speedy getaway...for female mosquitoes, the wing’s the thing. With a wingbeat frequency of about 600 beats per second, they are able to lift themselves lightly off their hosts.‎ When most flying animals take off, like birds or flies, they first use their legs to push off very hard, and then when they are in the air, they start beating their wings and produce aerodynamic lift(气动升力) to be able to fly away. Mosquitoes do it the other way around. They first start beating their wings and through the aerodynamic forces these wings produce, their body is being lifted off. And then they do gently push down with their long legs to be able to further power their liftoff. But these forces that are being produced by the legs are relatively small.‎ In fact, the flutter(振动) of a mosquito’s wings produces less than one third of the force used by similar-sized fruit flies as they leave to find another banana. “Even on a full stomach, these bloodsuckers’ takeoff process takes only about 30 milliseconds, which is 10 times faster than how fast we can blink(眨眼) our eyes,” says Muijres. They’re gone before we know what hit us and before we can hit them.‎ ‎32.What does the passage mainly talk about?‎ A. How mosquitoes get nutrients for their developing eggs.‎ B. How mosquitoes can find their suitable blood donors.‎ C. How mosquitoes escape unnoticed after sucking blood.‎ D. How the female mosquitoes find their perfect partners.‎ ‎33.What plays the most important part in helping mosquitoes escape?‎ A. Their legs B. Their ears C. Their mouths D. Their wings ‎34.Mosquitoes’ takeoff approach is different from that of most other winged insects in ‎ that_______.‎ A. mosquitoes are keen on sucking blood.‎ B. mosquitoes are lighter that them.‎ C. mosquitoes take off first with wings and then legs.‎ D. mosquitoes take off through the aerodynamic forces.‎ ‎35.From what Muijres said, we know mosquitoes’ escape speed is.‎ A. extremely fast B. greatly affected by their full stomach..‎ C. equal to that of our blink. D. faster than that of fruit lies.‎ 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。‎ Types of Family Structures Family structure has changed noticeably over the last 50 years. _36_‎ Nuclear Family The nuclear family is the traditional type of family structure, consisting of two parents and children. _37_ Children in nuclear families receive strength and stability from the two-parent structure and generally have more opportunities due to the financial ease of two adults In America, almost 70 percent of children live in a nuclear family unit.‎ Extended Family The extended family structure consists of two or more adults who are related, either by blood or marriage, living in the same home. This family includes many relatives living together and working toward common goals. _38_ Extended families are becoming increasingly common all over the world.‎ Stepfamily Many marriages end in divorce, and many of these individuals choose to get remarried. This creates the stepfamily which involves two separate families merging into one new unit. _39_ Stepfamilies are as common as the nuclear family, though they tend to have more problems. Stepfamilies need to learn to work together to ensure these family units run smoothly.‎ There is no right or wrong answer when it comes to what is the best type of family structure. _40_ Families need to do what is best for each other and themselves, and that can be achieved in almost any unit.‎ A. Parents go to look after elders occasionally.‎ B. They raise the children together, due to financial difficulties.‎ C. The nuclear family was long held by society as the ideal to raise children.‎ D. It consists of a new husband and wife and their children from previous marriages.‎ E. As long as a family is filled with love and support for one another, it is successful.‎ F. The following types of families exist today, with some falling into different kind.‎ G. While these types of families are distinct in definition, in practice the lines are less clear.‎ 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）‎ I zipped past my father carrying lots of dirty clothes.
