“Hungary?” I looked at my school headmaster in confusion. “I never mentioned wanting to go to Hungary.” And with that, my adventure started.
My name is Jonathan Diamond and I just finished an amazing exchange year in Hungary.
Going on an exchange had always been my dream. When my high school offered an all-year program，I jumped at the opportunity. It would pay for almost everything and all I had to do was get a plane ticket. I knew where I wanted to go: Spain, the country of dancers wearing flowing red dresses. So when I heard that I was going to Hungary, I was pretty shocked. But I decided to make the best of it, since it was，after all, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Before I knew it, I was on the airplane, leaving for Budapest International Airport, Hungary.
I had times when I almost gave up. Hungarian is the hardest language on the planet. Cultural differences occasionally embarrassed both my peer teens and me. I had to give up eating carrots, my beautiful favorite, for they think carrots are rubbish in their country. The change in the landscape was amazing, looking nothing like skyscrapers, bullet trains, cars，and people in tiny houses that I had been accustomed to. Gradually, I fell in love with the relaxing lifestyle, the warm-hearted people, and getting home at 2：30 p. m. at the latest from school. And I was sad to leave on my very last day.
Having the host family who took me as one of their own members was the best thing I have ever experienced. From my little sisters, I learned how to embrace life to its fullest. From my brothers I learned that it’s OK for a boy to run around the house. From my host parents I learned to stay positive, to smile, and that when you pick the right persons and take their hands, suddenly, you become friends.
39. How did Jonathan feel when he was told to go to Hungary?
A. Excited and satisfied. B. Confused and shocked.
C. Amazed and embarrassed. D. Delighted and interested.
40. Why did Jonathan still decide to go to Hungary instead of Spain?
A. He didn’t like Spain. B. He wanted to learn Hungarian.
C. It was a rare chance. D. Going to Hungary was much cheaper.
41. What can we learn about Jonathan during his stay in Hungary?
A. He fell in love with eating carrots. B. He couldn’t wait to leave.
C. He was surprised by the landscape. D. He quickly got used to the life there.
42. According to Jonathan, the host family________.
A. changed him completely B. taught him how to dance well
C. treated him as equally as a student D. showed him the good things of life
C
As the proverb goes，man struggles upwards；water flows downwards．Water runs downhill from mountaintops to streams, to rivers and to oceans．But downhill isn't the only way that water moves．A new study measures how water travels from country to country for human consumption．This flow isn't the type we usually think about．These scientists looked at the water used to grow and make the products which get shipped from nation to nation as imports or exports．They call this a flow of “virtual water”．
We typically think about water as the liquid that flows from a tap．However，92% of the water used by people goes into growing crops, according to a water researcher Arjen Hoekstra．He recently studied the hidden travels of virtual water used in products made from things like crops and meats．These products are shipped around the world．
For example, consider a sugary soft drink．Hoekstra estimated that to produce one half-liter of the drink requires between 170 and 310 liters of water-about 95% is used to grow and process the ingredients. Another 4% goes into the packaging and labeling．In Hoekstra's calculation, when one country produces a half-liter of soda and sells it abroad，it exports as much virtual water as would fill a large refrigerator．
According to Hoekstra's new report, dry countries like Israel and Kuwait, both in the Middle East, get the majority of their virtual water from other countries，through imported products. More surprisingly, some wetter countries, like the Netherlands and the United Kingdom，also get the majority of their virtual water from other places．That means that most of the water used to grow or produce the products and food consumed in those countries came from other countries．
43.The underlined proverb in Paragraph 1 is used to ．
A. inspire readers to struggle upward B. tell a law of nature
C. introduce the topic of the passage D. summarize the main idea of the passage
44.In which countries does most part of virtual water come from outside？
A. The United Kingdom and China B. America and Israel
C. The Netherlands and Kuwait D. The Netherlands and America
45.What can be a suitable title for the passage？
A. Benefits of Virtual Water B. Hidden Uses of Water
C. Crops and Virtual Water D. Virtual Water’s Worldwide Travels
46.Where does the passage probably come from？
A. A science news report B. A newspaper advertisement
C. A book review D. A science fiction story
D
In the future those who are taking care of old or sick people may get help from the house itself.
Over the last few years, new technology, such as the wireless WI-FI and flat TV screens, has changed our homes and the way we live. Now another technology revolution is happening. A new project at the University of Hertfordshire wants to create a home that monitors people living in it who are weak or elderly.
The researchers have developed a wristband device which helps us watch the elderly person who is wearing it. The device collects information see if the person has fallen or has wandered away from where they should be.
The assisted-living project is part of the university’s wider Interhome project, which is the development of a smart-house. The house remembers the habits of the person who lives there and it uses very low amounts of energy. The Interhome team hopes that offering this service will help care for the elderly. They say, “It’s very important that these technologies are there to help and support and not replace any of the existing services.”
The Interhome is not just a research method. It’s also a way for students from different Scientific backgrounds to learn and develop technology. The university uses the latest technology to help student get experience by developing new hardware and software themselves. The team includes design, engineering and computer science students working together.
“We are working on a smart home project in Watford with some companies at the moment,” says the project leader, “We are looking at how a smarter home can provide even more services.” This will help millions of old people around the world have a better, safer life in the future.
47. How does the wristband device benefit its users?
A. By changing the living habits of the elderly.
B. By monitoring people who live in a smart home
C. By offering information to the person wearing it
D. By watching over the elderly who may fall or get lost
48. What kind of students does the University of Hertfordshire have in its research team?
A. Students who want to find a job eagerly
B. Students who prefer to work on their own
C. Students from different scientific background
D. Students with a lot of rich working experience
49. What is the project leader’s attitude toward the future of the smart home project?
A. Uncertain B. Uninterested C. Optimistic D. Disappointed
50. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. A wristband device has changed the way that we live
B. A smart home helps students develop hardware and software
C. An Interhome project has been put into use to help the elderly
D. An Interhome project will help the elderly live a better and safer life

Rich and Famous
Twenty years ago the most common ambition of American children was to be a teacher, followed by working in banking and finance, and then medicine. But today’s situation is quite different. 51 Instead, they most commonly say they want to be a sports star, or an actor — in other words, they hope to become a celebrity.
According to experts, young people desire these jobs largely because of the wealth and the fame. 52 Let’s take athletes and singers as an example. Their careers are short-lived. Many athletes’ best time only lasts a few years and singers can have a very limited career. The field that was once the focus of their lives becomes something they have little or no involvement in. As a result, they’ll have a feeling of worthlessness and a lack of control. 53 The truth is quite simple: they have been so far removed from it for so long.
In spite of these disadvantages, there is greater ambition than ever among young people to achieve that status. They are not satisfied just making a living — they want to be rich and famous. Globally, more and more TV shows provide talent competitions where winners can achieve their goals in just a few weeks or months. 54 They unrealistically believe that this lifestyle is easily obtained and leads to great satisfaction.
While many people argue that there is nothing wrong with having such ambitions, others feel that this trend will finally lead to dissatisfaction as more and more people are unable to reach their goals. 55 That means they ignore the simple fact that great effort is needed before success. As a result, many people won’t realize their childhood dreams, which could have a negative effect on their happiness.
A. The younger generation don’t favor these professions any more.
B. In many ways this has been brought about by the celebrity culture.
C. Unfortunately, they do not always have a positive effect on people’s life.
D. Besides, it can be difficult for them to adapt back to a normal everyday life.
E. People no longer have a sense of satisfaction once their goals have been achieved.
F. This quick way of gaining wealth and fame creates a celebrity culture among people.
G. The reason is that they don’t realize it takes talent and hard work to be rich and famous.

Six months after suffering our 69 on the spring practice field, we won our first game and our second, and continued to 70 . Finally, we faced the number one team in the state. I felt that it would be a 71 for us even if we lost the game. But that wasn't what happened. My boys beat the best team in Georgia, giving me one of the greatest 72 of my life!
From the experience I learnt a lot about how the attitude of the leader can 73 the members of a team. Instead of seeing my boys as losers, I pushed and 74 them. I helped them to see themselves 75 , and they built themselves into winners.

Dear manager,
This is a letter of complaint concerned the actions of one of your online store. Last Sunday, November 29th, I buy a dress from a store on your website. But I was not satisfied with the dress when I received it, so I decided to return it. But the salesman refused my request in a rudely tone. I explained the reason that I wanted to return it, but he said he was busy and didn’t have time to deal it. Now he isn’t replying to us at all.
I feel that the salesman was impolite. I hope that you can look into for the matter. I have bought lots of things on your website and I look forward to a much pleasurable shopping experience next time.
Yours,

“Hungary?” I looked at my school headmaster in confusion. “I never mentioned wanting to go to Hungary.” And with that, my adventure started.
My name is Jonathan Diamond and I just finished an amazing exchange year in Hungary.
Going on an exchange had always been my dream. When my high school offered an all-year program，I jumped at the opportunity. It would pay for almost everything and all I had to do was get a plane ticket. I knew where I wanted to go: Spain, the country of dancers wearing flowing red dresses. So when I heard that I was going to Hungary, I was pretty shocked. But I decided to make the best of it, since it was，after all, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Before I knew it, I was on the airplane, leaving for Budapest International Airport, Hungary.
I had times when I almost gave up. Hungarian is the hardest language on the planet. Cultural differences occasionally embarrassed both my peer teens and me. I had to give up eating carrots, my beautiful favorite, for they think carrots are rubbish in their country. The change in the landscape was amazing, looking nothing like skyscrapers, bullet trains, cars，and people in tiny houses that I had been accustomed to. Gradually, I fell in love with the relaxing lifestyle, the warm-hearted people, and getting home at 2：30 p. m. at the latest from school. And I was sad to leave on my very last day.
Having the host family who took me as one of their own members was the best thing I have ever experienced. From my little sisters, I learned how to embrace life to its fullest. From my brothers I learned that it’s OK for a boy to run around the house. From my host parents I learned to stay positive, to smile, and that when you pick the right persons and take their hands, suddenly, you become friends.
39. How did Jonathan feel when he was told to go to Hungary?
A. Excited and satisfied. B. Confused and shocked.
C. Amazed and embarrassed. D. Delighted and interested.
40. Why did Jonathan still decide to go to Hungary instead of Spain?
A. He didn’t like Spain. B. He wanted to learn Hungarian.
C. It was a rare chance. D. Going to Hungary was much cheaper.
41. What can we learn about Jonathan during his stay in Hungary?
A. He fell in love with eating carrots. B. He couldn’t wait to leave.
C. He was surprised by the landscape. D. He quickly got used to the life there.
42. According to Jonathan, the host family________.
A. changed him completely B. taught him how to dance well
C. treated him as equally as a student D. showed him the good things of life
C
As the proverb goes，man struggles upwards；water flows downwards．Water runs downhill from mountaintops to streams, to rivers and to oceans．But downhill isn't the only way that water moves．A new study measures how water travels from country to country for human consumption．This flow isn't the type we usually think about．These scientists looked at the water used to grow and make the products which get shipped from nation to nation as imports or exports．They call this a flow of “virtual water”．
We typically think about water as the liquid that flows from a tap．However，92% of the water used by people goes into growing crops, according to a water researcher Arjen Hoekstra．He recently studied the hidden travels of virtual water used in products made from things like crops and meats．These products are shipped around the world．
For example, consider a sugary soft drink．Hoekstra estimated that to produce one half-liter of the drink requires between 170 and 310 liters of water-about 95% is used to grow and process the ingredients. Another 4% goes into the packaging and labeling．In Hoekstra's calculation, when one country produces a half-liter of soda and sells it abroad，it exports as much virtual water as would fill a large refrigerator．
According to Hoekstra's new report, dry countries like Israel and Kuwait, both in the Middle East, get the majority of their virtual water from other countries，through imported products. More surprisingly, some wetter countries, like the Netherlands and the United Kingdom，also get the majority of their virtual water from other places．That means that most of the water used to grow or produce the products and food consumed in those countries came from other countries．
43.The underlined proverb in Paragraph 1 is used to ．
A. inspire readers to struggle upward B. tell a law of nature
C. introduce the topic of the passage D. summarize the main idea of the passage
44.In which countries does most part of virtual water come from outside？
A. The United Kingdom and China B. America and Israel
C. The Netherlands and Kuwait D. The Netherlands and America
45.What can be a suitable title for the passage？
A. Benefits of Virtual Water B. Hidden Uses of Water
C. Crops and Virtual Water D. Virtual Water’s Worldwide Travels
46.Where does the passage probably come from？
A. A science news report B. A newspaper advertisement
C. A book review D. A science fiction story
D
In the future those who are taking care of old or sick people may get help from the house itself.
Over the last few years, new technology, such as the wireless WI-FI and flat TV screens, has changed our homes and the way we live. Now another technology revolution is happening. A new project at the University of Hertfordshire wants to create a home that monitors people living in it who are weak or elderly.
The researchers have developed a wristband device which helps us watch the elderly person who is wearing it. The device collects information see if the person has fallen or has wandered away from where they should be.
The assisted-living project is part of the university’s wider Interhome project, which is the development of a smart-house. The house remembers the habits of the person who lives there and it uses very low amounts of energy. The Interhome team hopes that offering this service will help care for the elderly. They say, “It’s very important that these technologies are there to help and support and not replace any of the existing services.”
The Interhome is not just a research method. It’s also a way for students from different Scientific backgrounds to learn and develop technology. The university uses the latest technology to help student get experience by developing new hardware and software themselves. The team includes design, engineering and computer science students working together.
“We are working on a smart home project in Watford with some companies at the moment,” says the project leader, “We are looking at how a smarter home can provide even more services.” This will help millions of old people around the world have a better, safer life in the future.
47. How does the wristband device benefit its users?
A. By changing the living habits of the elderly.
B. By monitoring people who live in a smart home
C. By offering information to the person wearing it
D. By watching over the elderly who may fall or get lost
48. What kind of students does the University of Hertfordshire have in its research team?
A. Students who want to find a job eagerly
B. Students who prefer to work on their own
C. Students from different scientific background
D. Students with a lot of rich working experience
49. What is the project leader’s attitude toward the future of the smart home project?
A. Uncertain B. Uninterested C. Optimistic D. Disappointed
50. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. A wristband device has changed the way that we live
B. A smart home helps students develop hardware and software
C. An Interhome project has been put into use to help the elderly
D. An Interhome project will help the elderly live a better and safer life

Rich and Famous
Twenty years ago the most common ambition of American children was to be a teacher, followed by working in banking and finance, and then medicine. But today’s situation is quite different. 51 Instead, they most commonly say they want to be a sports star, or an actor — in other words, they hope to become a celebrity.
According to experts, young people desire these jobs largely because of the wealth and the fame. 52 Let’s take athletes and singers as an example. Their careers are short-lived. Many athletes’ best time only lasts a few years and singers can have a very limited career. The field that was once the focus of their lives becomes something they have little or no involvement in. As a result, they’ll have a feeling of worthlessness and a lack of control. 53 The truth is quite simple: they have been so far removed from it for so long.
In spite of these disadvantages, there is greater ambition than ever among young people to achieve that status. They are not satisfied just making a living — they want to be rich and famous. Globally, more and more TV shows provide talent competitions where winners can achieve their goals in just a few weeks or months. 54 They unrealistically believe that this lifestyle is easily obtained and leads to great satisfaction.
While many people argue that there is nothing wrong with having such ambitions, others feel that this trend will finally lead to dissatisfaction as more and more people are unable to reach their goals. 55 That means they ignore the simple fact that great effort is needed before success. As a result, many people won’t realize their childhood dreams, which could have a negative effect on their happiness.
A. The younger generation don’t favor these professions any more.
B. In many ways this has been brought about by the celebrity culture.
C. Unfortunately, they do not always have a positive effect on people’s life.
D. Besides, it can be difficult for them to adapt back to a normal everyday life.
E. People no longer have a sense of satisfaction once their goals have been achieved.
F. This quick way of gaining wealth and fame creates a celebrity culture among people.
G. The reason is that they don’t realize it takes talent and hard work to be rich and famous.

I started doing anything I could to help them build a little 65 . Most importantly, I began to treat them like 66 . That summer, when the other teams enjoyed their 67 , we met every day and 68 passing and kicking the football.
Six months after suffering our 69 on the spring practice field, we won our first game and our second, and continued to 70 . Finally, we faced the number one team in the state. I felt that it would be a 71 for us even if we lost the game. But that wasn't what happened. My boys beat the best team in Georgia, giving me one of the greatest 72 of my life!
From the experience I learnt a lot about how the attitude of the leader can 73 the members of a team. Instead of seeing my boys as losers, I pushed and 74 them. I helped them to see themselves 75 , and they built themselves into winners.

Dear manager,
This is a letter of complaint concerned the actions of one of your online store. Last Sunday, November 29th, I buy a dress from a store on your website. But I was not satisfied with the dress when I received it, so I decided to return it. But the salesman refused my request in a rudely tone. I explained the reason that I wanted to return it, but he said he was busy and didn’t have time to deal it. Now he isn’t replying to us at all.
I feel that the salesman was impolite. I hope that you can look into for the matter. I have bought lots of things on your website and I look forward to a much pleasurable shopping experience next time.
Yours,
