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 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). Zones 3 and 4 often 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.51.Which of the following will the host provide?A. Room cleaning. B. Medical care. C. Free transport. D. Physical training.52.The passage is probably written for_. A. hosts willing to receive foreign studentsB. foreigners hoping to build British cultureC. English learners applying to live in English homesD. travellers planning to visit families in London53. According to the passage. What does continental Breakfast include?A. Dessert and coffee. B. Fruit and vegetables.C. Bread and fruit juice. D. Cereal and cold meat.54. What can be inferred from Paragraph 3?A. Zone 4 is more crowded than Zone 2. B. The business centre of London is in Zone 1.C. Hosts dislike travelling to the city centre.D. Acmodation in the city centre is not provided.55.Why do some people choose self-catering acmodation?A. To experience a warmer family atmosphere. B. To enrich their knowledge of English.C. To entertain friends as they like. D. To enjoy much more freedom. BSocieties all over the world name places in similar ways. Quite often there is no official naming ceremony but places tend to be called names as points of reference by people. Then an organized body steps in and gives the place a name. Frequently it happens that a place has two names: One is named by the people and the other by the government. As in many areas, old habits died hard, and the place continues to be called by its unofficial name long after the meaning is lost.Many roads and places in Singapore（新加坡）are named in order that the pioneers will be remembered by future generations. Thus we have names such as Stamford Road and Raffles Place. This is in keeping with traditions in many countries - in both the West and the East.Another way of naming places is naming them after other places. Perhaps they were named to promote friendships between the two places or it could be that the people who used to live there were originally from the places that the roads were named after. The mystery is clearer when we see some of the roads named in former British bases. If you step into Selector Airbase you will see Piccadilly Circus - obviously named by some homesick Royal Air Force personnel(职员).Some places were named after the activities that used to go on at those places. Bras Basah Road is an interesting example, “Base Basah” means “wet rice” in Malay（马来语）. Now why would anyone want to name a road “Wet Rice Road”? The reason is simple. During the pioneering days, wet rice was laid out to dry along this road.A few roads in Singapore are named by their shapes. There is “Circular Road” for one. Other roads may have part of their names to describe their shapes, like “Paya Lebar Crescent”. This road is called a crescent（月牙）because it begins on the main road, makes a crescent and es back to join the main road again.56. We learn from Paragraph 1 that _.A. the government is usually the first to name a placeB. many places tend to have more than one nameC. a ceremony will be held when a place is namedD. people prefer the place names given by the government57. What does the underlined phrase “die hard” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A. Change suddenly B. Change significantlyC. Disappear mysteriously D. Disappear very slowly58. Which of the following places is named after a person?A. Raffles Place B. Selector AirbaseC. Piccadilly Circus D. Paya Lebar Crescent59. Bras Basah Road is named _.A. after a person B. after a placeC. after an activity D. by its shape60. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Some place names in Singapore are the same as in Britain.B. Some places in Singapore are named for military purposes.C. The way Singaporeans name their places is unique.D. Young Singaporeans have forgotten the pioneers.CBarditch High School decided to an All-School Reunion. Over 450 people came to the event. There were tours of the old school building and a picnic at Confederate Park. Several former teachers were on hands to tell stories about the old days. Ms. Mabel Yates, the English teacher for 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 and 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 birth 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. Tee clapping turned into cheering, then into a deafening roar(呼喊). Lawyers, truck drivers, bankers and models were rubbing their eyes or crying openly with no shame all because of the words from a long forgotten English teacher from their hometown.61.

DTens of thousands of theatre tickets will be given away to young people next year as part of a government campaign to inspire a lifelong love for theatre.The plan to offer free seats to people aged between 18 to 26funded with 2.5 million of taxpayers moneywas announced yesterday by Andy Burnham, the Culture Secretary. It received a cautious wele from some in the arts world, who expressed concern that the tickets may not reach the most underprivileged.The plan es as West End theatres are enjoying record audiences, thanks largely to musicals teaming up with television talent shows. Attendances reached. 13.6 million in xx, up 10 percent on xx, itself a record year. Total sales were up 18 percent on xx to almost 470 million.One theatre source criticized the Governments priorities（优先考虑的事）in funding free tickets when pensioners were struggling to buy food and fuel, saying: “I dont know why the Governments wasting money on this. The Yong Vic, as The Times reported today, offers excellent performances at cheap prices.”There was praise for the Governments plan from Dominic Cooke of the Royal Court Theatre, who said: “I support any move to get young people into theatre, and especially one that aims to do it all over England, not just in London.”Ninety-five publicly funded theatres could apply for funding under the two-year plan. In return, they will offer free tickets on at least one day each week to 18 to 26-year-olds, first-e, first-served. It is likely to be on Mondays, traditionally a quiet night for the theatre.Mr. Burnham said:“A young person attending the theatre can find it an exciting experience, and be inspired to explore a new world. But sometimes people miss out on it because they fear its not for them. Its time to change this perception.”Jeremy Hunt, the Shadow Culture Secretary, said: “The real issue is not getting enthusiastic children into the theatre, but improving arts education so that more young people want to go in the first place. For too many children theatres are a no-go area.”66. Critics of the plan argued that _.A. the theatres would be overcrowdedB. it would be a waste of moneyC. pensioners wouldnt get free ticketsD. the government wouldnt be able to afford it67. According to the supporters, the plan should _.A. benefit the television industryB. focus on producing better playsC. help increase the sales of ticketsD. involve all the young people in England68. Which of the following is TRUE about the plan?A. Ninety-five theatres have received funding.B. Everyone will get at least one free ticket.C. It may not benefit all the young people.D. Free tickets are offered once every day.69. We can infer from the passage that in England _.A. many plays are not for young peopleB. many young people dont like theatreC. people know little about the planD. children used to receive good arts education70. According to the passage, the issue to offer free tickets to young people seems _.A. controversial B. inspiring C. exciting D. unreasonabl
