One summer my friend and I decided to go to Italy for a holiday and we decided to travel there without going through a travel agency. You know, you would be submerged (淹没) in crowds of tourists and lose lots of opportunities to get familiar with the country more closely. We started to think over our trip and managed to come up with a free tour of Italy.

The trip was not very long but it was still very impressive. We look forward to going there again! Of course, we spent lots of time arranging the trip, but it was well worth it!  Of course I was afraid that something would go wrong and I was especially anxious about my visa, but everything went quite smoothly in the end.

The most difficult part was getting a visa without an invitation. In the Italian consulate(领事馆), one must hand in some official papers proving that one has a hotel booked for oneself in order to get the visa. Then we had to solve the ticket problem. Airlines often sell cheap tickets and we bought ours far in advance. The next step was to book a hotel. We finally booked a hotel about thirty km away from the heart of Rome and it was the perfect choice for our trip.

Every day we took a train that carried us to the heart of Rome. Our big house, which was surrounded by the forest, was a rare place for the fresh air and absolute silence, beautiful views, hospitable (好客的) hosts, comfortable living conditions delighted us to no end. Besides this, we were very lucky that our mistress was Russian. She gave us a lot of advice that was of great use. She told us what transport to choose and where the best places to go.

Don’t be afraid to arrange your trip by yourself. It’s not difficult! The only thing I’ll say right now is that we really enjoyed traveling by ourselves. We walked with a map and a guide-book to wherever we wanted and we even met some of our fellow countrymen on the way just two or three times. So, if you’re also planning a “single” trip, don’t forget to take a Russian-Italian phrasebook as people in Italy prefer to speak in their native tongue.

24. Why does the author want to go to Italy again?

   A. He had a great time there.         B. Italy has a lot of attractions.

   C. His friend invited him there.       D. He didn’t stay in Italy long enough.

25. What does the author think was the hardest in preparing for his Italian trip?

   A. Buying cheap airline tickets to Italy before the traveling.

   B. Getting a visa without an invitation from the Italian consulate.

   C. Booking a comfortable hotel on his own in Rome.

   D. Solving the ticket problem far in advance.

26. In the fourth paragraph the author mainly explains _______.

   A. the reason why he chose to live in the center of Rome

   B. the reason why the hotel he booked was the right choice

   C. what transport they chose to travel in their Italian trip

   D. the reason why the mistress gave them some advice

27. From the text we can know the author _______.

   A. enjoys traveling everywhere in the world

   B. likes being accompanied by tour guides

   C. advises us to arrange trips by ourselves

   D. met with a lot of his countrymen in Italy

When photographer Simon Czapp took pictures of a curious five-month-old fox, he soon realized this little fox was attracted by his subject. The clever fox was so curious about the camera equipment that she climbed on top of it. And while she was supposed to be the subject of the shoot, the fox stood on the shutter release button (快门按钮) and took her own frames.

Mr. Czapp visited the New Forest Wildlife Park to capture images of new arrival Jessie. Jessie is a lovely little fox. She has been at the animal park in Ashurst, Hampshire—home to wolves, deer and others in 25 acres of ancient woodland after being abandoned by her mother.

Mr. Czapp said, “Jessie was very playful and curious and not shy at all in front of the camera. Soon after I arrived she was chewing my shoes and everything seemed to be a game to her. Then she started exploring the camera I had set up on a tripod (三脚架). She stood on her back legs to look at the back of the camera. She balanced her front paws on it and at one point knocked it over. ”

He put the camera back on the tripod and Jessie soon jumped back up. At one point she had all four paws on the camera and was keeping her balance. Mr. Czapp added, “She jumped up there several times and I realized it could make a good picture. As I was leaving away with the public’s viewing window (取景窗) behind me, I thought I heard the camera go off but didn’t think much of it. However, when I checked the memory card afterwards, I was amazed to see Jessie had actually taken two frames of me photographing her. I couldn’t believe I had been outfoxed (智取) by a fox! There were some lovely photos of her but she obviously thought the photographer was worthy of a picture too! ”

28. The underlined word “frames” in Para. 1 refers to _______.

   A. photographers   B. pictures      C. equipments   D. subjects

29. Which of the following is the right order in which Jessie took photos of Mr. Czapp?

   d. Jessie stood up to look at the back of the camera.

   A. c, d, b, a  B. a, c, d, b        C. d, c, b, a    D. b, a, c, d

30. Which of the following best describes Jessie?

   A. Naughty but lovely.   B. Clever but annoying.

   C. Careful and grateful.   D. Quick but rude.

31. What’ s the main idea of the passage?

   C. Mr. Czapp showed the fox how to take photos.

   D. Wild animals enjoy equal rights with humans.

(D)

Recently, a new study suggests that staying positive through the cold season could be the best defense(抵御) against getting sick.

In an experiment that exposed（暴露）healthy volunteers to a cold of flu virus, researchers found that people with a generally sunny emotion were less likely to fall ill. The findings, published in the journal “Psychosomatic Medicine”, build on evidence that a “positive emotional style” can help defend the common cold and other illnesses.

“People with a positive emotional style may have different immune responses to the virus,” explained Dr Sheldom Cohen of Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh. And when they do get a cold, they may experience their illness as less serious.

Cohen and his colleagues had found in a previous study that happier people seemed less susceptible(易受影响的) to catching a cold, but some questions remained as to whether the emotional quality itself had the effect.

For the new study, the researchers had 193 healthy adults complete standard measures of personality qualities, physical health and “emotional style”.

Those who tended to be happy, energetic and easy-going were judged as having a positive emotional style, while those who were often unhappy and tense had a negative style.

Afterwards, the researchers gave them nose drops containing either a cold virus or a particular flu virus that causes flu-like symptoms. Over the next six days the volunteers reported on any aches, pains, sneeze they had. Cohen and his colleagues found that positive emotions really have the big effect of fighting virus.

32. The results of the experiments by researchers suggest that _______.

   A. people in excellent spirits are less likely to fall ill.

   B. the emotional quality itself has the greatest effect of fighting virus

   C. people with a positive emotional style seemed more likely to get ill

   D. positive emotional people and negative people response similarly to the virus

33. Dr Sheldom Cohen made studies and reached his conclusion by _______.

   A. comparing the experimental results of different groups

   B. looking into the forms completed by the volunteers

   C. collecting data among people with a cold

   D. observing the volunteers’ symptoms

34. According to the passage, what quality should we develop to fight virus?

   A. Clever.     B. Hard-working.     C. Optimistic.    D. Friendly.

35. We can conclude from the passage that _______.

   A. positive life can lead to success in one’s career

   B. physical health is more important than mental health

   C. the happier we are, the less likely we will be to fall ill

   D. the more we are together, the happier we will be

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。

Some kids find it hard to lose in a game, but everyone needs to learn how to deal with it. Learning to lose without losing your cool is a skill. Like learning to ride a bike, you might not be able to do it at first, but over time it will get easier.      36     

Everyone wants to win. But any time two teams or kids are facing each other in a game or contest, someone will lose. Losing is disappointing, so it's not surprising that kids don't like it.      37      So what should you do when you lose?

The best thing to do is try to control your emotion and get in line with your teammates, so you can congratulate the other team. If you feel like crying later or you want to complain about the game, you can do that.      38      After a little time passes, you might not feel as upset as you were right when the game ended.

Sometimes kids lose on their own, like in a neighborhood game of basketball. These situations can be especially hard if there are no grownups around to be the referees(栽判).      39      It's good for kids to learn to play without a grownup deciding everything but it can also lead to a lot of arguing.

      40      Some kids might cheat or bend the rules, but you can do your best to be fair. Even if they're not, you certainly won't be accused of cheating or playing unfairly. You've done your part to bring good sportsmanship to the game.

A. Adults don't like it either.

B. Learn the rules of the game.

C. But you'd better do it off the field.

D. Then it's up to kids to decide among themselves.

E. Kids don't like playing with someone who gets angry easily.

F. It's best if everyone tries to be fair to solve any disagreements.

G. And when you can handle losing, people will call you a good sportsman.

I was selected to go on a study tour to Britain. On morning of March 27, we arrived at the airport where we were warm welcomed by our home-stay families. Soon we went to Westminster College to attend in a presentation about the school. A professor gave them a vivid but interesting introduction and we learned a lot about the college. In the followed days we visited some famous scenic spots such as Big Ben and London Eye. We took photo there. On the last day we had a farewell party when students from China and Britain put on fantastic performances including songs and dances.

From the study tour, not only had we improved our speaking skills but also we've got a much good understanding of the British culture.
