Rooms will be cleaned and bedcovers changed at least once a week. You will be given the house key and the host is there to offer help and advice as well as to take an interest in your physical and mental health.    Accommodation Zones    Homestays are located in London mainly in Zones 2, 3 and 4 of the transport system. Most hosts do not live in the town centre as much of central London is commercial and not residential. Zones 3 and 4 often offer larger accommodation in a less crowded area. It is very convenient to travel in London by underground.     Meal Plans Available     ♢ Continental Breakfast     ♢ Breakfast and Dinner     ♢ Breakfast, Packed Lunch and Dinner      It’s important to note that few English families still provide a traditional cooked breakfast.Your accommodation includes Continental Breakfast which normally consists of fruit juice, cereal, bread and tea or coffee. Cheese, fruit and cold meat are not normally part of a Continental Breakfast in England. Dinners usually consist of meat or fish with vegetables followed by desert, fruit and coffee.     Friends     If you wish to invite a friend over to visit, you must first ask your host’s permission. You have no right to entertain friends in a family home as some families feel it is an invasion of their privacy.     Self-Catering Accommodation in Private Homes     Accommodation on a room-only basis includes shared kitchen and bathroom facilities and often a main living room. This kind of accommodation offers an independent lifestyle and is more suitable for the long-stay student. However, it ‎ does not provide the same family atmosphere as an ordinary homestay and may not benefit those who need to practice English at home quite as much. 24. The passage is probably written for ______ . A.host willing to receive foreign students B.foreigners hoping to build British culture C.travelers planning to visit families in London D.English learners applying to visit families in London 25.What can be inferred from Paragraph 3?

In the past, Evan either wouldn’t react when someone spoke his name,or he would get angry.     But things have changed since eight-year-old Evan started getting a new kind of medical treatment. “ Evan doesn’t behave unreasonably these days,”says Michala, age 12. “Now, if I call his name, he looks at me.

Aside from the earth, just about every surface in the solar system is unsafe for humans to explore. The air on most other planets is insufficient for humans to breathe, making it necessary to wear a space suit and oxygen equipment. The temperatures on these surfaces are much too hot or much too cold for any humans to withstand. Plus there would be complications with radiation, weather, and a lack of gravity. Robots have much less limitation in these areas and can survive much longer under these conditions.     Robots are designed for collecting scientific data. Robots are also able to perform many tasks at one time and can process information much quicker and more efficiently. Important scientific projects from detecting minerals, analyzing ground samples, and finding water are all performed much quicker and accurately by robots.     The use of robots has made the cost of space exploration much less expensive than it would cost for humans to do the work. In order to successfully send humans into space we would need to build a vehicle that can not only carry humans, but also enough food and water to keep them alive for the duration of the trip. Moreover, robots have no problems working for hours on end. Robots never complain, they don’t require food or water, and they never need a bathroom break.     Over the past 30 years or so there have been many different types of robots used successfully in the exploration of space. Perhaps the most famous and successful robots are Spirit and Opportunity who have both been exploring the surface of Mars. They have both been very successful with experiments on soil and rocks and have even found evidence of water in Mars’ history. 32.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A.The Development of Robots B.The Discovery of Space Exploration C.No Robots,No Space Exploration D.Robots Are Used in Space Exploration 33.According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true? A.The use of robots in space exploration costs more than the use of humans. B.It is dangerous for humans to explore other surfaces in the solar system except the earth. C.Both Spirit and Opportunity have found the evidence of water on Mars. D.Many different types of robots have explored the space successfully. 34.The underlined word “withstand” most probably means “__‎ ‎____” A.remain B.bear C.defeat D.develop ‎35. What is the writer's attitude in this passage?‎ ‎ A. Negative B. Persuasive C. Subjective D. Objective ‎ 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。‎ Improve Your Memory ‎ Memory is more than recalling information for exams or games. 36.        .
