We invite you to join us on an amazing journey of language learning.‎ Our Courses Regardless of your choice of course, you’ll develop your language ability both quickly and effectively. Our Standard Course guarantees a significant increase in your confidence in a foreign language, with focused teaching in all 4 skill areas----speaking, listening, reading and writing. Our Intensive Course builds on our Standard Course, with 10 additional lessons per week, guaranteeing(确保) the fastest possible language learning (see table below).‎ Course Type Days Number of Lesson ‎ Course Timetable Standard Course Mon－Fri ‎20 lessons ‎9:00——12：30‎ Intensive Course Mon－Fri ‎20 lessons ‎9:00——12：30‎ ‎10 lessons ‎13：00——14：30‎ Evaluation Students are placed into classes according to their current language skills. The majority of them take on online language test before starting their programme. However, if this is not available, students sit the exam on the first Monday of their course. Learning materials are provided to students throughout their course, and ‎ there will never be more than 15 participants in each class.‎ Arrivals and Transfer Our programme offers the full package—students are taken good care of from the start through to the very end. They are collected from the airport upon arrival and brought to their accommodation(住宿) in comfort. We require the student’s full details at least 4 weeks in advance. ‎ Meals / Allergies(过敏) / Special Dietary Requirements Students are provided with breakfast, dinner and either a cooked or packed lunch(which consists of a sandwich, a drink and a dessert). Snacks outside of mealtimes may be purchased by the student individually. We ask that you let us know of any allergies or dietary requirements as well as information about any medicines you take. Depending on the type of allergies and/ or dietary requirements, an extra charge may be made for providing special food.‎ 1. How does Intensive Course differ from Standard Course?‎ A. It is less effective. B.It includes extra lessons. ‎ ‎ C. It focuses on speaking. D. It gives you confidence.‎ ‎2. Before starting their programme, students are expected to _____.‎ ‎ A. take a language test B. have an online interview ‎ ‎ C. prepare learning materials D. report their language levels ‎3. With the full package, the programme organizer is supposed to_____.‎ ‎ A. inform students of their full flight details ‎ B. offer students free sightseeing trips ‎ ‎ C. collect students’ luggage in advance ‎ D. look after students throughout the programme B Of course, she wasn’t really my aunt and, out of fear, I never called her that to her face. I only referred to her as “My Aunt Fannie” because the name always made my father laugh quietly and gave my mother cause to look strictly at both of us—at me for being disrespectful of my elder and at my father for encouraging my ‎ bad behavior. I enjoyed both reactions so I looked for every opportunity to work the name into as many conversations as possible. ‎ As a young woman, my mother had worked in the kitchen of a large Victorian farmhouse. During those years my mother helped Aunt Fanny make the best blueberry jam ever tasted by anyone in Glenfield. She was well-known for her jam and for never sharing the recipe(食谱) with others. Even though my mother knew the recipe by heart, as long as Aunt Fannie was alive, she never made the jam without Aunt Fannie in our kitchen to direct the process and keep the secret. ‎ Each August, my mother would prepare me for Aunt Fannie’s visit. One year, after I had helped with the jam process Aunt Fannie gave me a coin and then made me promise that I would never spend it. “Hold onto this coin,” she said, “and someday you will be rich. I still have my very first coin, given to me by my grandmother.” So I kept the coin in a small box and waited to become rich. ‎ I now have the blueberry jam recipe and the coin from Aunt Fannie. In people’s eyes Aunt Fannie's success resulted from that secret recipe. But to me, it was just a common recipe. Neither have made me become a rich person, but I keep them as reminders to hold onto the valuable things in life. Money can make you feel rich for a while, but it is the relationships and the memories of time spent with friends and family that truly leave you wealthy. And that is a fortune that anyone can build.‎ ‎4. Why did the author always use the name “My Aunt Fannie” in conversations?‎ A. She was frightened of Aunt Fannie. B. She enjoyed her parents’ reactions. ‎ C. She liked Aunt Fannie’s recipe. D. She greatly respected “Aunt Fannie”.‎ ‎5. The underlined word “she” in Paragraph 2 refers to ______.‎ ‎ A.

In the last paragraph, the author encourages readers to______. ‎ ‎ A. hold onto the first coin in life ‎ B. make as many friends as possible ‎ C. spend more time with family and friends ‎ ‎ D. make money with their own hands ‎7. What could be the best title for this passage?‎ ‎ A. The Key to Success B. A Fortune Built from a Coin ‎ C. Blueberry Jam Recipe D. A Relationship of Trust C It is widely acknowledged that nearly every kid might come across some kind of school bullying(欺侮), however, the age at which kids were first bullied could influence how strongly they are affected, suggests a new study. And, surprisingly, it is not the youngest kids who are hurt the most in the long term.‎ Bullying can have long-lasting effects, but particularly when it begins in adolescence(青春期), the researchers say. people subjected to either verbal or physical bullying are known to be at greater risk of developing depression, anxiety disorders or to behave violently. But not everyone reacts in this way.‎ Children who were bullied for the first time before they hit adolescence seem to get over it, but those who are bullied for the first time later on in adolescence seem to become more aggressive(富有攻击性的) or are more likely to turn to drinking as a means of coping with it. These are the conclusions of psychologists Matthew Newman and colleagues of Texas at Austin, US. ‎ The team gave questionnaires to nearly 1,500 college students about their experience of physical and psychological bullying before adolescence- before high school- and in late adolescence- at high school. They assessed mood and mental state, judging by signs of anxiety or depression, such as sleeplessness. The group was also questioned about how they would react to certain challenges, such as humiliation.‎ People who were bullied all showed slightly higher levels of stress. But while those bullied earlier in life seemed to respond normally to provocation (煽动), people bullied for the first time late in adolescence are more withdrawn and sensitive to violence.‎ There are also sex differences between those bullied for the first time during adolescence: females are more likely to react aggressively when provoked and males are much more likely to turn to drinking to escape bad situations. The best solution in all cases was strong social support, whether from friends, family or school. Those with no one to share their problems with suffered the most.‎ So perhaps it is best not to shelter children completely from bullying early on, suggests Newman, “They may get stressed, but unhealthy coping really jumps out when they are bullied for the first time later on.”‎ ‎8. What determines the degree of bullying’s effect on people according to the study?‎ A. The reason why they are bullied.‎ B. The place where they are first bullied.‎ C. The person who first bullies them.‎ D. The age at which they are first bullied.‎ ‎9. What may happen to those first bullied later on in adolescence according to Newman and his colleagues?‎ A. They seem to easily get over the effect of bullying.‎ B. Some are likely to be more aggressive.‎ C. Most of them will respond to bullying normally.‎ D. Most of them are afraid of sharing their problems.‎ ‎10. The sex differences between people bullied for the first time during adolescence are reflected in _______.‎ A. the support they get from the society B. the effect bullying has on them ‎ C. the way they react to provocation ‎ D. the type of bullying they receive ‎ ‎　第二节 阅读补全 (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填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ ‎  It's important to prepare for rainy days.

Begin by deciding how long it will take to reach each goal. Some short-term goals include starting a fund to cover 6 months to a year of living costs and saving money for a vacation. Long-term saving goals are often several years or even decades away and can include saving for retirement and putting money away for a child's college education.‎ ‎    Make saving money easier with automatic transfers (自动转帐).

That’s why I think teh trip along the Yangtze River will be better choice.‎ Hope you’ll have a good time in China.‎ Yours Li Hua
