Last summer I was a volunteer at a shelter for
the homeless, a place for homeless people to sleep
at night. I wasn‟t working that summer and was
16 only two classes in summer school, so I had
some free time.
Three nights a week, I
helped in the kitchen of the shelter along with
other four volunteers. We
planned and 17 hot
meals of vegetables, chicken, fish and fruit for
45 people. The homeless
people needed this
good food because many of them usually don‟t eat
well. They were very grateful.
I 18 this
volunteer work very much and made 19 with the
four volunteers in the kitchen. One was
a very
nice elderly housewife, one a movie actor, another
a young teacher, and the other a college
student, like me.
I talked to a lot of the
homeless people at the shelter. Their life stories
filledme with sympathy.
Some of them had 20

luck. One woman worked for
almost 30 years for
a small company, and then she lost her 21 . She

sell her furniture — sofas, chairs,

went on job hunting, but she still couldn‟t

黑。
（A）
It was meant to be the holiday of
a lifetime—my first trip abroad alone, without my
parents. I
had organized everything myself and
I would show them how independent I could be.
I had arranged to stay in a farmhouse outside
a village in southern Italy. My schedule said that
the
plane would arrived in Italy at five
o'clock in the afternoon and it was a thirty-
minute drive from the
airport to the village.
I wanted to get to my destination before it got
dark, so I could have a drink,
watch the
sunset and enjoy an evening meal.
The problems
began at the airport. My plane was three hours
late taking off. I walked around
the airport,
looked in the shops, and drank coffee in the
cafes. I didn't eat anything. That was a
mistake! When the plane finally took off, they
gave me a cold, tasteless meal which I could not
eat.
We arrived in Italy in the early
evening and I was feeling lightheaded from the
lack of food.
The sun was setting as I was
collecting my bags! I missed it completely! I went
to the desk to find
my hire car and that was
when I discovered the next problem. The
receptionist couldn't find my name
in the
computer and there were no more cars. There were
no buses or trains to the village, and the
taxis were in strike.
The receptionist
felt sorry for me. She phoned her brother,
Alessandro, who agreed to take me to
the
village. I waited for Alessandro at the front gate
and he arrived driving a very old car with smoke
pouring out of the engine. We set off. Fifteen
minutes later we broke down. I was tired and
depressed,
and very, very hungry. I began to
think my parents were right. Maybe I was too young
to travel on
my own. Luckily, Alessandro was a
mechanic. After an hour, he fixed the car and we
started driving
again.
It was nearly
midnight when we arrived at the farmhouse. A man
opened the door and smiled. “Come
in,” he
said. “We have been waiting for you.” I sat with a
group of the friendliest people I've ever
met
and had a meal that was absolutely wonderful. And
I'm glad to say that the rest of my trip turned
out to be exactly the same.

Which are the best cities to shop
in? Writer Ellie Clare, has been to five cities
around the world to
find out. This week she
writes about Paris.
I went to Paris in June.
It's a lovely city for sightseeing at that time of
year, but it's also a great
place to find
high-quality fashion. I started in the speciality
stores and visited all the top names,
including Cartier, Chanel and Christian Dior.
I've never seen such beautiful things, but they
are, of
course, very expensive. I bought some
perfume and moved on to the huge department stores
in Paris.
Two of the most famous are Primtemps
and Galleries Lafayette and they are definitely
good places to
visit. One place I found
disappointing was the Champ-Elysees, the most
famous street in Paris. In the
old days, it
was a great place for fashion, but now there are
too many fast-food restaurants, banks,
airline
offices, shopping centres and cinemas aimed at
tourists. Don't waste your time there!
After
the shops I tried the markets. One of the most
famous places to find treasures in Paris is the
flea market. There are three main flea markets
--- each selling an unbelievable range of old and
second hand goods. They are located around the
old gates to the city. I spent hours walking
around
these fascinating places and while I
was there I discovered the meaning of the name
'flea market'.
Hundreds of years ago, the
royal family gave away their old clothes, which
were then sold by people
at these markets. But
the clothes were full of little insects --- fleas
of course! One of the stall sellers
told me
that the best time to find treasures at the market
was before the crowds arrived, usually
between
5am and 6am. But that was a bit early for me. I
was enjoying the Paris night life too much!
There are also open-air markets all around the
city where you can buy flowers, clothes, pets,
food
and many other things. And if you want to
buy a book, visit the rows of bookstalls along the
River
Seine. You can find some great bargains
there, or you can spend hours just looking.
If
you want to buy half of Paris or if you just want
to walk around and look, you'll love the
experience. Paris is a great place to shop!

some of the famous Paris stores.
B. To inform
readers about the best places to shop in Paris.
C. To introduce some of the famous tourist
attractions in Paris.
D. To compare shopping
in Paris to shopping in other French cities.
(
)32. Why was the writer disappointed with the
Champ-Elysees?
A. There were too many tourist-
oriented businesses there.
B. There were no
clothes on sale there.
C. There were too many
tourists in the area.
D. The stores kept
changing too often.

things.C. The clothes of kings. D. Expensive
jewellery.

too crowded. B. It was too early.C. She was too
busy. D. She was too excited.

writer?

department stores.

around the city.

Seine.
（C）
Did you know that 7
out of 10 students have cheated at least once in
the past year? Did you know
that 50 percent of
those students have cheated more than twice? This
shocking data is from a recent
survey of 9,000
U.S. high school students.
Incredibly,
teachers may even be encouraging their students to
cheat! Last year at a school in
Detroit, some
teachers were found to have provided their
students with answers to statewide standard
tests. Students at the school told police that
they were promised pizza and money if they cheated
on
the test. Similar reports at several
schools in San Diego county have prompted an
investigation by
the Education Department. A
student at a local high school says she sees
students cheating on almost
every test, and
the teachers don‟t do anything about it. In
response to the claims of school-assisted
cheating, the head of the National Association
of School Principals said that while cheating
should
never be accepted, it showed the
pressure that schools were under. “Because school
funding is now
decided by students' test
performance, there is incredible pressure on
school to raise marks in any
way they can.”
But schools are not the main problem. Many
students claim that they‟re tempted to cheat
because of
5
peer pressure and
intense competition to get top grades. Many kids
also say that their parents are
setting a bad
example by cheating on income taxes, lying about
age to pay lower admission prices, or
cheating
their way out of speeding tickets. They are
sending a message to their kids that it is okay to
cheat and lie.
So, what can be done? In
our school‟s math classes, each student has
different problems on their
test papers, so it
is useless to look at someone else‟s answers.
Teachers could also randomly mix the
problems
throughout the page. Another solution is for
adults to lower their expectations. Chances are
that students believe cheating is the only way
to meet unreasonably high expectations. Perhaps it
is
time for parents and teachers to seriously
examine whether higher test results are important
enough
to encourage cheating.
( )36. What does the writer think of the
levels of cheating in American schools?
A. It
is an extremely serious problem.B. It is no worse
than other countries.
C. He expresses no clear
opinion.D. It is mainly the fault of local school.
( )37. Which of the following causes of
cheating is NOT mentioned?
A. Pressure from
others. B. Too much work.C. Strong competition. D.
School funding.
( )38. Why are some schools
ignoring their students cheating in America,
according to the
passage?
A. Because
schools will get better students.
B. Because
teachers will then receive a higher salary.
C.
Because schools will get more government money.
D. Because schools fear parents will be very
angry.
( )39. According to the 3
rd
paragraph , how are parents encouraging their
children to cheat?
A. By putting too much
pressure on their children to succeed.
B. By
criticising their children too much when they
fail.
C. By urging them directly to be
dishonest.
D. By failing to behave honestly
themselves.
( )40. In the last paragraph
the writer _________.
A. offers possible
solutions to the problemB. describes the causes of
the problem
C. outlines the results of the
student cheatingD. suggests some of the reasons
for cheating
（D）
You could say
it‟s the budget traveller‟s ultimate prize:
knowing exactly when to book a flight to
get
the cheapest fare. But now one flight comparison
website, which analysed 7.5 billion airfares on
its top 100 routes worldwide, believes it has
found the answer.
According to the research by
, the ideal time to book a flight is 53 days in
advance,
6
a move that may
save an average of 33% on the normal fare. For
example, a flight from London to
Lisbon, when
booked 52 days in advance, costs on average
£209—compared to the average price
of £287.
Cheaper fares also depend on the time of the
flight. Evening departures between 6pm and
midnight are typically cheaper, while Tuesday
is generally the cheapest day to fly.
As for
the most expensive, fares are at their costliest
three days before departure, while
Friday is
normally the most expensive day to take to the
air. It is also suggested that travellers should
avoid afternoon flights if they are looking to
save money.
“In general, it pays to book
flights two months in advance,” says Momondo
spokesman Lasse
Skole Hansen. “We found these
trends consistent across the board, so bargain
hunters should
consider flying at night and on
a Tuesday, if they want to save money on their
travels.”
Momondo‟s research is consistent
with previous studies into the age-old traveller‟s
dilemma of
when to book. In January Skyscanner
published the results of a three-year study, which
found that
on average five weeks in advance is
the best time to find the cheapest fares.
However, Skyscanner also found this varies
according to destinations. The cheapest flights to
Greece, for example, were found to be
available just three weeks ahead of departure.
The new study by coincides with their launch
of an interactive tool, Flight Insight,
which
allows travellers to assess the best time, day and
season to travel.
( )46. The research
mentioned in the article based its information on
______.
A. interviews with travelersB.
discussions with travel agents
C. studying of
ticket price listsD. inspections of national
airports
( )47. Which of the following is
NOT discussed as a factor affecting airplane
ticket prices?
A. Booking time. B. Flight
day.C. Flight time. D. Flight company.
(
)48. According to the information in the passage
which of the following tickets would be the
most expensive?
A. A ticket booked three
days in advanced for a Friday afternoon flight.
B. A ticket booked one day ahead for a Friday
afternoon flight.
C. Tuesday morning ticket
booked two months in advance.
D. A ticket for
a Friday flight during the summer holiday.
(
)49. If the advertised price for a plane ticket
from London to Paris tomorrow was 90 pound,
how much would the buyer expect to pay if he
booked the ticket 52 days earlier?
A. 30
pounds. B. 60 pounds. C. 90 pounds. D. 120 pounds.
( )50. What is the purpose of the article?
A. To explain why flight price vary.
B. To
inform readers how to travel cheaply.
C. To
tell readers where to buy cheap tickets.
7
D. To identify which airlines
offer the best value tickets.
