She has bought a bicycle and is worried about security. Her friend, Kate, found this article and sent it to her. Introduction A lot of crime is against bicycles. About 150,000 bicycles are stolen every year and most are never found. You can prevent this happening by following a few careful steps. Basic Security Do not leave your bicycle in out of the way places. Always lock your bicycle when you leave. Secure it to lampposts or trees. Take off smaller parts and take them with you, for example lights and saddles(车座) Locks Get a good lock. There are many different types in the shops. Buy one that has been tested against attack. Ask for a remendation from a bike shop. Marking Security marking your bike can act as_a_deterrent_to_a_thief. It can also help the police find your bicycle. It should be clearly written and include your postcode and your house or flat number. This will provide a simple way to identify your bicycle. Registration There are a number of security panies who will help mark your bicycle for you. They will then put your registration number and personal details on their puter database. Then if your bicycle is found it will be easy to coritact you. Finally Keep a record of the bicycle yourself: its mark，model and registration number. You can even take a photograph of it. This will prove the bicycle belongs to you.21Which part of the text gives you information on how to lock up your bicycle when you leave it?ALocks. BMarking. CRegistration. DBasic Security.22The underlined phrase “act as a deterrent to a thief” means_.Ahelp you recognize your bike Bhelp the police find your bicycleCstop someone stealing your bicycle Dstop you worrying about your bike23The article advises you to keep a record of your bicycle_.Ain the bike shop and your puterBin the police station and a security panyCin a security pany and your universityDby yourself and in a security panyBStudents who want to attend an American college or university must explain how they will pay for their education. They have to show that they will be able to pay for each year of study. Students have to consider not only the tuition, the cost of classes, but also meals and a place to live in, which is known as roomandboard. They also need money for books and supplies. And they need money to spend on social activities and other things. Educational advisers say foreign students should have enough money in a local bank to pay for at least two months of expenditure. So how much will a year at an American school cost? Generally speaking, the answer is: a lot. A leading state university in the Pacific Northwest will serve as an example. The University of Washington says foreign students are paying more than $36,000 this year. This major research university currently has 2,600 foreign students from more than one hundred countries. There are many schools that cost less, but also others that cost more. Its website says the University of Washington does not offer financial assistance to international students. This is generally true of American schools, especially at the undergraduate level. The international application for the university includes a Statement of Financial Responsibility that must be signed. Students must also provide a bank letter or statement from within the past six months. And they have to name someone who will help with payments. These people must send proof from a bank to show that they have the money. Your government or employer may be able to help you pay all or some of the college costs. A good idea is to ask at least eighteen months before you want to start classes in the United States. Our Foreign Student Services, including links to websites discussed in our reports, can be found at . unsv. . To learn more about higher education in America, the State Department has a special website: educationusa. state. gov.24Students who are going to study in America must_.Abuy their own textbooks themselves Bprove that they can pay for their study Cfind a living place with a kitchen Dfind someone to pay for their college fees25Who is this speech probably given to? AStudents who are going to graduate from colleges.BStudents who are going to college in the US. CStudents who are going to apply for roomandboard.DStudents who cant pay for their college study by themselves.26The University of Washington_. Ahas the highest fees of any collegeBhas the most foreign students of any college in the US Cis a key university in the Northwest of the USDcharges less than other colleges in the Northwest of the US27What is NOT a must if you, a foreign student, apply for the university in the US? AApply eighteen months before you want to start classes.BA signed Statement of Financial Responsibility. CPeople who will help you pay for the study should provide a bank proof.DA bank letter from within the past six months.C Parents need to stop trying to be friends with their children if they want to avoid them being louts_and_delinquents. Thats the opinion of a local expert in the field of family relationships. Wendy Harfield from Interrelate, the organization which focuses on relationships, said the issue of antisocial and violent behavior among youths was a plex one. “There is no single reason why some kids get involved in unacceptable behavior but it seems that it is being a major issue not just in places like Bellingen but everywhere，” Ms. Harfield said. “The most important part of the problem is the issue of selfesteem(自尊). Sometimes parents dont have a strong selfimage or good selfesteem themselves, so it is hard for them to pass good selfesteem on to their children.” Ms. Harfield said it was important that children learnt to develop good relationships with themselves, their family, their friends and their munity at an early age. “Parents need to look at themselves as personal trainers, and as we all know trainers get the best results when they start young，”she said, “It is no good waiting until a child is 12 or 13 to start training them to bee a good person. You need to start when they are very young and be very consistent with them.” “Teaching and training children to be good people is an important part of being a parent. But just as there are a lot of pressures on kids these days, there are also a lot of pressures on parents and families.” “Children should develop better relationships with everyone in their life before they bee teens，” she said，“But for parents the message must be, dont try to be friends to your children. As they go through school they will have the chance to have lots of friends，but they wont be able to have any other parents.”“You need to set the limits of acceptable behavior early and stick to them.”28The underlined words “louts and delinquents” in Paragraph 1 may refer to children_. Awho are very lazy Bwho behave badly Cwho are selfishDwho depend on themselves29According to Ms. Harfield, children with unacceptable behavior_. Asuffer from a lot of pressures from societyBusually dont get on well with their parents Chave low confidence in their own abilitiesDgrow into good people when they are 12 or 1330Why are parents advised not to be friends to their children? ABecause children need parents more than they need friends.BBecause children may have friends later in their life. CBecause parents cant treat their children as true friends.DBecause children dont always believe in their parents.31What would be the best title for the passage? ABeing a friend to your childrenBTough love is the key CExamples speak louder than wordsDIt is never too late to train children to be goodDThe Roman Empire was so big that there were a lot of different people with different cultures living in it, so you cant really say there was one way of living in the Roman Empire.People of minority races or cultures would probably feel lucky to have lived under the Roman Empire. There were people of so many different cultures travelling around the empire interacting with each other that there had been in general a lot of tolerance for other cultures. On the other hand, this contact did also cause tensions, which sometimes broke into violent killings of minority groups. People were forced into slavery in every corner of the Roman Empire, but the way slaves were treated depended on where you were and also on when. Big farms were usually worked by slave field hands. But other slaves were house servants, like nurses, cooks, and boys who took care of the horses and they were generally better treated. A lot of slaves also worked for the Roman government, or for private businesses, as managers，or running a shop，or in small factories. All over the Roman Empire, many boys in cities seem to have gone to school, but most girls had to stay at home. Out in the countryside，probably hardly anyone could read or write. Very few people went to college，but those that did often travelled far from home，to Athens or Alexandria in Egypt, for a good education. Partly at school, and partly through their families or just playing ball games outside, kids all over the Roman Empire did have lots of friends. Girls and boys from rich families, however, were not allowed to get romantic together. Most marriages among the upper classes were arranged by the parents，but case was probably different for the poor.32What life was like for people of minority races in the Roman Empire?ALife for them was too hard to bear.BThey couldnt municate with people of other cultures.CThey were forced to give up their own culture.DLife for them was fortable in a way.33Of the following kinds of slaves，which group maybe badly treated?AHouse servants. BSlaves working on farms. CBoys taking care of horses.DSlaves running a small shop.34Which of the following statements is TRUE to education in Roman Empire?AEducation was open to both rich and poor people.BIn the countryside，only boys could receive education.CPeople could not get college education in Roman Empire.DMost of the girls were not allowed to go to school.35From the passage，we can learn that_.Athere were probably many different ways of living in Roman EmpireBunder Roman law，marriages shall be arranged by parentsCchildren living in the countryside of Roman Empire often felt lonelyDboys in the upper class could receive free education in Roman Empire第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)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。Study for an approaching exam Studying hard for a few days can be tiring，but it always pays off!
