As time passed, teachers finally knew all of their students and slowly everyone began to head inside, except for me. No one called out my name, and no one seemed to know I existed. I spent the next month in my new classroom quietly.‎ ‎ I felt a wave of fear, loneliness and sadness came over me.‎ ‎ It turned out the school administration never cared that I didn’t speak English, but something else was teaching me English. Every morning when my aunt drove me to school and picked me up, she always had 106.7 Light FM on.

One day at school, we were taking a math quiz and the whole class was quiet.

It was a time when most of North America was covered with a thick sheet of ice, which made the America difficult to inhabit. But at some point during this time, adventurous humans started their journey into a new world.‎ ‎ There is still debate about when these first Americans actually arrived and where they came from. But we are now getting closer to uncovering the original story, and finding out who these first Americans really were.‎ ‎ During the peak of the last Ice Age about 20,000 years ago, a journey from Asia into the Americas was not likely to be particularly desirable. North America was covered with icy permafrost(永冻层) and tall glaciers. But, paradaxically（很矛盾的是）, the presence of so much ice meant that the journey was, in a way, easier than it would be today. The abundance of ice meant that sea levels were much lower than they are now, and a stretch of land appeared between Siberia and Alaska. Humans and animals could simply walk from Asia to North America. The land bridge was called Beringia.‎ ‎ At some point around this time-known as the Last Glacial Maximum-groups of hunter-gatherers moved east from what is now Siberia to set up camp there.‎ ‎ These people did well to seek refuge（避难所） there. Central Beringia was a much more desirable environment than the icy lands they had left behind. The climate was a bit damper. Plants, in the form of woody bushes, would have given them access to wood that they could burn to keep warm. Beringia was also an ideal environment for large mammals eating grass, giving early hunter-gatherers something to hunt.‎ ‎28. What happened during the last Ice Age?‎ A. Not a single human lived in the Americas.‎ B. North America began to be covered with ice and snow. ‎ C. All kinds of animals moved into a new world.‎ D. Human beings began to enter North America. ‎ ‎29. According to the author, what was contradictory（对立的）?‎ A. Lack of ice made the Americas easier to reach.‎ B. Humans and animal walked to the Americas.‎ C. A journey from Asia into the Americas. ‎ D. Abundant ice made the journey easier than it would be today.‎ ‎30. What was the advantage of living in Central Beringia?‎ A. A much more suitable environment. ‎ B. The climate being less damp.‎ C. Wood suitable to build houses.‎ D. A wide variety of plants.‎ ‎31. What may be the best title for the text?‎ A. Why early hunter-gatherers liked hunting. ‎ B. The first people who lived in the Americas. ‎ C. Something about the Americas. ‎ D. What the weather was like in the Americas.‎ D ‎ Charles Dickens was born on February 7, 1812 in Portsmouth. Finances were a constant concern for his family. The expenses of having a large family were too much for his father’s salary. In fact, when Charles was just four months old, the family moved to a smaller home to cut expenses.‎ ‎ At a very young age, despite his family’s financial situation, Charles dreamed of becoming a gentleman. However, when he was 12, it seemed his dream would never come true. He suffered a lot.

He was poorly clothed, ill fed, forced to live in the cheapest place.‎ ‎ Also, 12-year-old Charles was removed from school and sent to work at a factory to help support the family. Charles was deeply marked by these experiences. This childhood poverty, although unknown to his readers until after his death, would be ‎ a heavy influence on Dickens’ later views on social reform and the world he would create through his fiction. He knew those kinds of feelings. He was lost at that time when he worked hopelessly in the factory. That period was so bitter to the sensitive boy. When he was a successful, happy man, he could not look back upon it without tears in his eyes.‎ ‎ Luckily the situation improved within a year. Charles was released from his duties at the factory.‎ ‎32.

What greatly affected Charles Dickens when he was young?‎ A. His leaving school to work. B. His father’s salary.‎ C. His constant reading. D. His family’s frequent move.‎ 35. What can we know about Charles Dickens? ‎ ‎ A. He started to work in the factory in 1826. ‎ ‎ B. He worked in the factory for many years.‎ ‎ C. He received a good education when young.‎ ‎ D. He felt confused when working in the factory.‎ 第二节 七选五（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ ‎ Improving your vocabulary can be done at any age and any level of education.
