Mariko Okada – Tokyo ‎ My year abroad in the United States was a fantastic experience. I’m not a shy person, and I was very comfortable speaking to everyone. So I got lots of speaking practice. I also learned lots of interesting things about American culture. When I got home, my friends all said that I had improved so much! I hope to go back again in the future. Carla Fonseca – Rio de Janeiro I spent last year studying English in London. I’m from a small town, and London is a very big city. Sometimes I felt it was too big. There were so many people to talk to, but I always felt bad about my English. I missed my family, and I really missed my two cats. My roommate was always using our telephone, so I hardly had the chance for a nice long talk with my parents. I think it was a good experience for me, but I’m glad to be home! Alvin Chen – Hong Kong Studying in New Zealand was a fun experience for me, but it was also lots of hard work! I had English classes six hours a day, five days a week——with lots of homework. I also kept a diary of my experience. I like to write, and I wrote two or three pages in my diary every day. On Saturdays, my homestay family took me to lots of interesting places and showed me so many wonderful things about the culture. I’m really glad I went! 31.All the three teenagers went abroad            .‎ A. to study English B.to visit friends C.to have a holiday D.to find a job ‎ ‎32.Who didn’t really enjoy the stay in a foreign country very much?‎ A.Mariko. B.Carla. C.Alvin. D.None of them.‎ 33. Travelers Corner is most probably          .‎ A. a sports club newsletter B.a science documentary C.a travel magazine D.a news website B ‎  Cakan is a successful businessman from Montenegro, who has earned himself nicknames(昵称)like “the best boss” and “Brother” by being surprisingly generous to his employees.‎ Cakan, who owns “Cakan Sports”, the largest sporting goods store chain in Montenegro, has been making news headlines for years, but not for his professional success. He is best known for the generosity he shows to his faithful and hard-working employees. The businessman firmly believes that his company can boom(繁荣) only if he keeps his employees happy, and to that end, he has offered the best of them some pretty unbelievable presents.‎ Cakan first surprised his workers back in 2012, when he offered four of them brand new cars—2 VW Golf 6 and 2 VW polo—complete with paid insurance. They were some of the oldest and most hard-working employees of Cakan Sports, and since the company had recently moved its operations outside the city, Cakan thought his best people shouldn't have to struggle to get to work. “When we saw them, we were speechless,” Danijela, one of the receivers, remembers. “While the boss was saying ‘this is a gift for you’, all I could think of was ‘this is not real;this can't be happening to us’.” But this was just one of the generous ways Cakan has rewarded his employees over the years. In 2014, after hearing that one of his workers had been saving up his paychecks so he could buy a ticket to the World Cup soccer final, in Brazil, he took him there himself, at his own ‎ expense.‎ Asked why he doesn't use cheaper means of motivating his employees, like a small raise or a cash bonus, Cakan had this to say, “Money comes and goes, but memories are forever.” Asked why many of his employees call him “Brother”, Cakan told a reporter that it was because “brothers always help each other”.‎ ‎34.What is Cakan best noted for?‎ A. His frequent headline news for years. B. His great success in his business.‎ C. His extreme generosity to his employees. D. His largest sporting goods store chain.‎ ‎35.Why did Cakan offer his four best workers new cars?‎ A. To make them travel to work easily. B. To reward their creative ideas in work.‎ C. To encourage them to get to work earlier. D. To help them reduce traffic expenses.‎ ‎36.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?‎ A. A Smart Businessman B. A Considerate Employer C. Hard-Working Employees D. Unbelievable Presents C ‎ Why do Chinese people love hot pot so much? As the winter months are coming in, more and more people are sitting around a table, enjoying this kind of traditional meal. I find myself wondering what it is about this traditional meal, which has existed for more than 1,000 years. What makes it a Chinese food favorite? It seems that the answer lies beyond the dish itself. Hot pot isn’t just designed to keep you warm during the cold months; it’s also a social experience. It’s a “theater” cooked food that turns a meal into an event. There is a lot of fun for everyone to have in adding some foods to the hot pot. Hot pot is eaten over two to three hours. For this reason, it is often considered an evening’s entertainment, and a time to spend with friends and families. However, many westerners would be put off by the idea of other people sticking chopsticks in their food. When we come to eat at the table in the UK, we tend to have our own shares, although the experience is still a social one. A similar experience to the hot pot can be found in Korean barbecue restaurants, which let you cook your own meat. This allows people to have their meat done however they want. For most Westerners, the idea of going to a restaurant to cook their own food is very strange. But having given hot pot a go, I find it’s now one of my favorite meals in Beijing. The steam from the pot left my clothes smelling of food when I got home, but perhaps this is also part of the experience. When the cold wind is blowing outside, I am sitting around with my good friends, eating and drinking. For me it’s like throwing a dinner party where my taste buds(味蕾) and my appetite are equally satisfied in the warm company of friends.‎ ‎37. According to the author, hot pot is popular in China because               .‎ ‎ A. it has a history of over 1,000 years ‎ ‎ B. it is a fun social experience ‎ ‎ C. it serves people with many kinds of foods ‎ D. it keeps people warm in winter and it is creative ‎38. We can conclude from the article that British people generally _______.‎ ‎ A. don’t like sharing food with others in restaurants ‎ B. enjoy cooking their own food in restaurants ‎ C. prefer a Korean barbecue to Chinese hot pot ‎ D. don’t mind the smell of food staying on their clothes after dinner ‎39. How long do people spend in enjoying the traditional meal? ‎ ‎ A. more than four hours. B. Over one hour. ‎ ‎ C. About three hours. D. All the evening.‎ ‎40. What is the author’s attitude to hot pot?‎ ‎ A. Serious. B. Tired. C. Humorous. D. Appreciative. ‎ 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。‎ ‎   How to Make Friends Friendship is a very important human relationship and everyone needs good friends.  Good friendship has many benefits.  It offers companionship, improves self-worth and promotes good health.  There are times in our lives such as when we have recently moved into a new town, or changed our jobs or schools.  Such changes often leaves us without a friend .    41    .  But for many of us the process is difficult and requires courage.  Below are some helpful suggestions on how to make and keep friends.‎ ‎1.

By making beds, sweeping the floor, tidy rooms and watering flowers instead of my parents, I have not only gained some labour skills, but also felt a strong sense of achievement and self-satisfaction. I even come to find my talent for being a chef, which greatly pleases my parents, saying that they have never been so relaxed. Actually, doing housework is of great help for me to realize how much my parents have done for my comfortable life. That’s why I have decided to keep housework participation as a life-long habit.‎ I’m looking forward to seeing you in your class as soon as possible after the epidemic.‎ Best wishes!‎ Yours,‎ Li Hua
