I was only 16 and couldn’t believe I was in college. I told myself that I wanted to one day travel the world, but then it was only a “dream”. Two years later, that dream is coming true. I am 18 years, going into my third year at Berkeley, and in six days I will be making my first international trip to the UK. Crazy! I can’t believe how fast the time has flown. My “young” age has always been a big factor in doing a lot of things but I have managed to overcome the age barrier and I won’t let it stop me from accomplishing my goals in life. You can never be too young to live your life to its fullest.‎ I’m leaving on July 20th, and will return in January. Most of my time will be spent studying at my exchange university in Manchester, but I plan on visiting all of London, a lot of cities within the UK such as Wales, Oxford, Kent, Cambridge along with as many countries as possible in Europe. Currently on my list is Norway, Sweden, France, Italy and Spain. The list will get longer once I get there, I’m sure! Till then, I’m packing, packing, packing and also saying my goodbyes (one of the hardest things to do). This last week is going to be a very emotional week for me but I will use the love of my family and friends to carry me through. I’m kind of worried that I won’t be seeing the people I love every day, and that I will be starting over in a strange land. But somewhere deep inside me, I know that everything is going to be okay. I hope to be sharing my experiences along the way through this journal and hope to keep in touch as much as I can.‎ ‎ Ahhhh! Can’t believe it’s almost here!‎ ‎24. The author will go to UK as a(n) .‎ A. tourist B. worker ‎ C. exchange student D. freshman ‎25. What’s the influence of the “young” age on the author in doing a lot of things?‎ A.

It has been a big factor helping him doing things better.‎ ‎26.

The passage is probably taken from .‎ A. a speech B. a conversation C. a journal D. a novel C The history of vacuum cleaners（真空吸尘器）in the UK dates back to the early 1900s.Hubert Cecil Booth started the first vacuum cleaner company in the UK, known as the British Vacuum Cleaner Company. It wasn’t long, however, before William Henry Hoover, who had already experienced success with his vacuum cleaners in America, made headway in the vacuum cleaner market in the UK and became more successful than Booth.‎ Hoover’s vacuum cleaners in the UK became such a success that ‘to hoover（吸尘）’ quickly became equal to vacuuming. Some of the earliest domestic vacuum cleaners in the UK used simple reusable cloth bag designs whereby the vacuum cleaner simply collected dust in the bag. Once the bag was full, you could empty and re-attach it to the vacuum cleaner.‎ For decades after their introduction, vacuum cleaners in the UK were a luxury item that only the upper class could afford. After World War II, however, they became common among the middle class. This was especially true for vacuum cleaners in the UK, because the popularity of carpets means sweeping is not an easy or effective means of carpet cleaning.‎ In 1952, Hoover made the Constellation available to the public for the first time. Hoover designed it so that people could place the vacuum cleaner in the centre of the room and then work around it. After about 20 years of selling these vacuum cleaners in the UK, Hoover stopped the Constellation in 1975.‎ Advances to upright and cylinder（气缸）vacuum cleaners in the UK continued, enabling vacuum cleaners to become more efficient and effective. The 1990s saw the introduction of the first bagless domestic vacuum cleaners in the UK. Despite the fact that many industry fears consumers would not be prepared to pay the high price, bagless vacuum cleaners became a big success in the UK.‎ As for the future, vacuum cleaners in the UK are expected to become even more energy-efficient.‎ 28. What can be inferred from the first paragraph?‎ A. Hoover entered the UK vacuum cleaner market before the 1900s.‎ B. Hoover’s vacuum cleaners were more advanced than Booth’s.‎ C. Hoover’s vacuum cleaners were well-received in the UK market.‎ D. Vacuum cleaners were invented later in the UK than in America.‎ 28. What was the cloth bag on the earliest domestic vacuum cleaners used for?‎ A. Decorating the vacuum cleaners.‎ B. Making the vacuum cleaners efficient.‎ C. Cleaning carpets.‎ D. Collecting dust.‎ 29. What was the most remarkable characteristic of the Constellation?‎ A. It was only used by the upper class.‎ B. Its design allowed the user to work around it.‎ C. It was upright and it had a cylinder added to it.‎ D. Its price was extremely high at the time.‎ 30. We can learn from the passage that bagless vacuum cleaners ‎ A. could not fulfill any UK customer’s demands.‎ B. were the most energy-efficient vacuum cleaners.‎ C. were not accepted by customers in the UK.‎ D. were expensive when they first appeared publicly.‎ D ‎ Cancer patients could increase their chance of survival and help stop their cancer spreading by survival and help stop their cancer spreading by taking aspirin, new research suggests. A daily pill was found to increase the chance of surviving cancer by 20 percent.[]‎ ‎ Scientists at Cardiff‎ ‎University made the discovery after analysing a wealth of available data from studies of some cancers. They found that patients who took low-dose aspirin in addition to their usual treatment reduced their likelihood of dying, or the cancer spreading, by one fifth over five years.‎ ‎ “There is a growing body of evidence that taking aspirin is of significant benefit in reducing some cancers,” said Professor Peter Elwood, from the University‎ of ‎Cardiff, who led the research. “while we know a low dose of aspirin has been shown to reduce the possibility of catching cancer, its role in the treatment of cancer remains uncertain. As a result, we set out to conduct a search of all the scientific literature.”‎ ‎ The team collected data from five trials and 42 studies. Although a known risk associated with taking aspirin regularly is bleeding in the gut（肠子）, the researchers found no evidence of this being serious or life-threatening. Researchers say the study highlights the need for trials to show if aspirin should be recommended alongside current cancer treatments.‎ ‎ Professor Elwood added: “While there is a desperate need for more detailed research to prove our review and to obtain evidence on less common cancers, we’d urge patients diagnosed with cancer to speak to their doctor about our findings so they can make an informed decision as to whether or not they should take a low dose of aspirin as part of their cancer treatment.”‎ ‎ Baroness Delyth Morgan, Chief Executive at Breast Cancer Now, said: “This study adds significant weight to the idea that a drug as simple and cheap as aspirin could help treat breast and other cancers.‎ ‎ “Clinical trials are going on to confirm whether aspirin could be added to routine treatments ‎ for breast cancer. Further research is needed to understand exactly which patients would benefit from aspirin and enable us to direct it to the most appropriate individuals.”‎ 32. What can happen if patients take aspirin regularly?‎ A. It can stop cancers spreading.‎ B. It can cause bleeding in the gut.‎ C. It can strengthen their immune system.‎ D. It can increase the risk of cancer.‎ 33. The purpose of the study is to .‎ A. prove that aspirin can reduce the incidence of cancer B. test the potential risks and benefits of taking aspirin C. figure out which patients should take aspirin ‎ D. check whether aspirin could be added to cancer treatments.‎ ‎34. What does the underlined word in the fifth paragraph probably mean?‎ A. Sensible.‎ B. Acceptable.‎ C. Public.‎ D. Successful.‎ 35. ‎ Which of the following is NOT true, according to the passage?‎ A. The scientists made the discovery by analysing a mass of data.‎ B. The scientists have confirmed aspirin could help treat breast and other cancers.‎ C. The scientists have proved aspirin can be applied to all cancer patients.‎ D. The scientists have to do further research into aspirin.‎ 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。‎ You Can Fly More Frequently When traveling, airfare can take up a large part of your travel budget.

Now, let me introduce some details of them to you. ‎ As a symbol of Chinese traditional culture, Spring Festival couplets are always stuck on the door or the wall of a house. They are necessities for Chinese people to celebrate the Spring Festival. Written with a writing brush on red paper, Spring Festival couplets use some positive words showing wishes for love, health, success, wealth, happiness and so on. They always have a theme, and they represent better life or successful future, and some of them include wishes and expectations. Of course, the topic of singing the praises of our motherland is another good choice. ‎ Yours, ‎ Li Hua
