Castles were built in the Middle Ages by king and other powerful people who live in. Castles were used by people to protect themselves from their enemies. They are big buildings made form stone and wood.Today there are still castles all over Europe. Some are in ruins(废墟). But some built later are still in good repair and used even today. One example is Windsor Castle, which is a home to the British queen. It is in the country or Berkshire, not far from London.Castles have walls around them. In the old days, soldiers would stand on the walls to guard the people in the castle. If enemies came they would shoot arrows(箭) and throw stones at them. Castles also had moats. A moat is a river around the wall that makes it difficult for enemies to get in. It could be either dry or filled with water.Other people form younger countries love European castles. In the US there are rich people who have brought broken parts of castles to their country and rebuilt them. And some people build “replica” castles-modern copies of Castle.You probably know the Disneyland Castle in California , US. But did you know it is based on a famous castle in Germany built by King Ludwig of Bavaria?【小题1】Which of the following is TRUE about the castle?AIt is a special American building.BIt is made form stone and paper.COnly king used to live in one.DPeople used it to protect themselves.【小题2】We can tell from the story that a moat is _.Aa wallBa soldierCa riverDa stone【小题3】According to the passage we can know that_.AThere are castles only in some European countries now.BIn the US, there used to be castles in the Middle Ages.CIn the US, the people rebuilt the old castles or build the modern ones.DThe Disneyland castle is built in Germany.【小题4】What does the passage mainly talk about?AThe history of castles.BFacts about castles.CThe king and the castles.DHow to build castles.We are told to travel the world, discover new things and meet new people. But there is one problem. Even paying for a bed for the night makes you feel as if broadening your minds requires plenty of money and for students, that is not always possible.The words “youth hostel” (青年旅舍) for your parents might mean smelly dormitories (寝室)with six strangers, or having to pay for messy towels, and dirty pillows. However, youth hostels nowadays especially the ones in China are wonderful.In Chengdu, my friend and I were served free coffee and the people working there gave us suggestions of the best ways to visit the pandas and the best hotpot restaurants in Sichuan.In Yangshuo, I made friends with a German and two Americans. We rented bikes from our hostel owner and rode around the city. When it rained, the hostel owner lent me his raincoat. One night the housekeeper cooked us a great meal of homemade Chinese dishes.Never did I pay more than 50 yuan for a bed. Sometimes, even though I had booked a “dormitory”, I ended up in a private room by myself. Because these are “youth hostels”, you can meet lots of students like yourself, all of whom want to get the most out of a small budget (预算).The best two websites for finding and booking hostels are www.hostelbooker.com and www.hostelworld.com. Not only do they allow you to organize everything online, they also give each hostel a score depending on how the guests feel when they remain there.Travel the world, discover new things, and meet new people all for the price of a cup of coffee? Just choose the city and now you go!32 . The story is possibly written for.AparentsBstudentsCworkersDhousekeepers33 .

A person who believes in himself will keep trying to reach his goal no matter how many times he fails. In my opinion, the quality of determination to succeed is an important one to have. Therefore, I believe that we should never give up.One reason is that if we give up too easily, we will hardly achieve anything. It is not unusual for us to fail in our first attempt(尝试) at something new, so we should not feel disappointed(失望的) and should try again. Besides, if we always give up when we fail, we will not be able to develop new skills and grow.Another reason we should never give up is that we can learn from our mistakes so that we can not make the same ones. If we do not try again, the lesson we have learned is wasted.Finally, we should never give up because as we work to reach our goals, we develop confidence, and this confidence can help us succeed in other areas of our lives. If we never challenge ourselves, we will begin to doubt our abilities.In short, it is important that we do not give up when working for our goals. Whether we succeed in the end or not, we will learn something, and what we learn will help us to become better and more confident. Furthermore, if we give up, we have no chance of reaching our goals any more, but if we keep making great efforts, there is always a chance that we will succeed one day.Topic: Never Give UpMeaningThe words “Never give up” can (51)75 . others or oneself and express ones determination.OpinionA person who wants to (52)76 . should have the quality of determination. So we should never give up.(53).77 . If we give up too easily, maybe we will achieve (54)78 . , sowhen we fail in our first attempt at something new, we should not disappoint ourselves but try (55)79 . .Always giving up means that we will not be able to (56) 80 . any progress.Never giving up will make us learn from the mistakes weve made before and learn the (57)81 . so as not to make the same mistakes.To reach our goals and develop the confidence which can help us improve ourselves, we must not give up but (58)82 . ourselves.ConclusionIf you give up, you will have no (59)83 . of reaching your goals. Never give up and you will get your (60)84 . one day.十、话题作文85 . 请以“My trip to”为题，根据以下要求与提示，用英语写一篇短文，记叙你的一次旅行。要求：1.请在题目空格处填入你旅行的地点，如：Beijing，Jinan或Qingdao等；2.短文中不得出现任何真实的人名、校名及其他相关信息。否则不予评分；3.不少于60词。提示：1.
