Rooms will be cleaned and bedcovers changed at least once a week. You will be given the house key and the host is there to offer help and advice as well as to take an interest in your physical and mental health.Acmodation ZonesHomestays are located in London mainly in Zones2, 3 and 4 of the transport system. Most hosts do not live in the town centre as much of central London is mercial and not residential(居住的). Zones3 and 4often offer larger acmodation in a less crowded area. It is very convenient to travel in London by Underground.Meal Plans Available Continental Breakfast Breakfast and Dinner Breakfast, Packed Lunch and DinnerIts important to note that few English families still provide a traditional cooked breakfast. Your acmodation includes Continental Breakfast which normally consists of fruit juice, cereal（谷物类食品），bread and tea or coffee. Cheese, fruit and cold meat are not normally part of a Continental Breakfast in England. Dinners usually consist of meat or fish with vegetables followed by desert, fruit and coffee.FriendsIf you wish to invite a friend over to visit. you must first ask your hosts permission. You have no right to entertain friends in a family home as some families feel it is an invasion of their privacy.Self-Catering Acmodation in Private HomesAcmodation on a room-only basis includes shared kitchen and bathroom facilities and often a main living room. This kind of acmodation offers an independent lifestyle and is more suitable for the long-stay student. However, it does not provide the same family atmosphere as an ordinary homestay and may not benefit those who need to practise English at home quite as much.36. The passage is probably written for _.

There were tours of the old school building and a picnic at Confederate Park. Several former teachers were on hand to tell stories about the old days. Ms. Mabel Yates, the English teacher for over fifty years, was wheeled to the Park.Some eyes rolled and there were a few low groans(嘟囔声)when Ms.Yates was about to speak. Many started looking at their watches and ing up with excuses to be anywhere instead of preparing to listen to a lecture from an old woman who had few kind words for her students and made them work harder than all the other teachers bined.Then Ms. Yates started to speak:“I cant tell you how pleased I am to be here. I havent seen many of you since your graduation, but I have followed your careers and enjoyed your victories as well as crying for your tragedies. I have a large collection of newspaper photographs of my students. Although I havent appeared in person, I have attended your college graduations, weddings and even the births your children, in my imagination.”Ms. Yates paused and started crying a bit. Then she continued:“It was my belief that if I pushed you as hard as I could, some of you would succeed to please me and others would succeed to annoy me. Regardless of our motives, I can see that you have all been successful in you chosen path.”“There is no greater fort for an educator than to see the end result of his or her years of work. You have all been a great source of pleasure and pride for me and I want you to know I love you all from the bottom of my heart.”There was a silence over the crowd for a few seconds and then someone started clapping.

The study shows that while many women earn now 10 percent or more than their partners, the husbands at the same time experience more conflict over balance between work and family than their wives. About two-thirds out of 3,500 employed workers, both men and women under the age of 29, report that they want to be promoted to jobs with more responsibility. And having children does not change this desire in young women. Nearly 70 percent of young moms now say that they want to climb up the career ladder, pared with 66 percent of women with no kids. In addition, it is found that fathers of children under the age of 13 are now spending much more time with their kids, pared to dads in previous generations. Almost 50 percent of husbands today handle childcare to the same extent or even more than their wives. This study shows that it is very important for fathers to be more involved with their families, and so is it for the mothers, says Ellen Galinsky, the president and co-founder of the Families and Work Institute. She notes that fathers time with their kids has leapfrogged up, and also adds that prejudice against working mothers is easing. Employed moms can do a fine job raising and educating their children.46. The new US national study of the changing workforce deals with the following questions EXCEPT_.A. the roles of men and women in the family B. mens views about work and family C. womens attitudes towards career D. gender(性别) and racial（种族的）prejudice47. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. Today many men take the responsibility of taking care of children.B. It is important for fathers and mothers to spend more time with their families.C. 26% of men contribute more to family ine than their partners.D. Sometimes it is more difficult for some men to keep balance between work and family.48. According to the survey, young moms_.A. usually do not want to get promotion in jobsB. have to devote more time to houseworkC. have the same eagerness to climb the career ladderD. find the career less important than the family49. The underlined part “leapfrogged” in the last paragraph can be replaced by “_”A. increased greatly B. changed quickly C. bee much less D. gone by50. We can conclude from the passage that_A. the role of women has greatly changed in modern societyB. husbands today are being less responsibleC. women today face more pressure than menD. women are more favored at workplaces than menD Many brain training products claim to be able to keep us mentally fit. Some products even claim that brain training can prevent dementia(痴呆) in old age. Many such products are nothing more than money-making rubbish. Also, there is no scientific proof that games or other brain exercises can have this effect. That is what the German Institute for Quality and Efficiency in Health Care ( IQWiG) pointed out in information published on its informed-healthonline. Org today, the usual way they give out their health information.As we get older, our thinking gets slower and it is harder for us to learn new things. Many people try to stay mentally fit by, for example, learning a new language or doing crossword puzzles. puter games that aim to keep the brain active are also being increasingly popular. “ Doing exercises like trying to find symbols on a puter screen as fast as possible can actually improve your reaction time,” explains Professor Peter Sawicki, the Institutes Director. “ But scientific studies have shown that brain training only leads to an improvement in a specific aspect that it is aimed at. So if you learn to find symbols quickly, it does not mean that you will be able to improve your memory. So, dont expect to remember names better as well.”Research has not shown that brain training can keep up or enhance(加强) peoples overall(全面的) mental abilities as monly thought. “ So there is no need to feel bad if you do not enjoy brain training: there are no health reasons for doing it,” says Sawicki. “ But if you think brain training exercises are interesting, you can try out different things. For example, pleting the order of letters can improve your logic skills. And practicing word association techniques can help you to remember things better. You can do all of these things at home on your own.”51. What can we learn about the brain training products according to the passage? A. They are effective. B. They are expensive. C. They are harmful to the brain. D. They are unreliable 52. How can people get health information from IQWiG? A. By reading newspapers B. By reading health magazines. C. By visiting its website. D. By watching TV53. According to Peter Sawicki, brain training exercises can_. A. only improve a specific ability of people B. help all people improve their memory C. keep the brain active for a longer timeD. only help people do things in a more specific way54. The last paragraph shows that brain training exercises should be done_.A. when you cant learn new things B. in a relaxing way C. under strict instructions D. when your thinking gets much slower55. On the whole, researchers think that brain training exercises_.A. are just designed for young people to have fun B. arent as effective as monly thoughtC. may benefit people in certain indirect ways D. shouldnt be encouraged第II卷 （共65分）温馨提示：请将第二卷的所有答案写在答题纸上第三部分：基础练习 （共两节，满分20分） 第一节：单词拼写（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）1.
