They mean that the home is very important and personal to him. Most people in Britain live in houses rather than flats, and many people own their homes. This means that they can make them individual(个体的): they can paint them, and change them in any way they like. Most house have a garden, even if it is a very small one, and the garden is usually loved. The house and the garden are the private(私人的) space of the individual.People usually like to mark their space. Are you sitting now in your home or on a train? Have you marked the space around yourself as yours? If you are on the train you may put your coat or small bag on the seat beside you. If you share a flat you may have one corner or chair which is your own.Once I was travelling on a train to London. I was in a section for four people and there was a table between us. The man on the space on my side of the table didnt notice me at all. I was angry. Maybe he thought that he owned the whole table. I had read a book about non-verbal communication, so I took various papers out of my bag and put them on his briefcase! When I did this he stiffened and his eyes nearly popped(瞪出) out of his head. I had invaded(侵犯) his space! A few minutes later I took my papers off his case in order to read them. He immediately moved his case to his side of the table. Of course, it is possible that he just wanted to be helpful to me!If you are visiting another country you may feel that you dont have any private space. Hotel rooms look much the same in every country in the world. All day long, you share public spaces with other people. You see the local people in their private spaces and you feel lonely and outside. Local people can create their private spaces by talking about things you dont know about. And you even feel that they like you to be outside them so that they will enjoy being inside even more! This is one of the difficulties of being a traveler! But if you understand it then it helps you. Havent you enjoyed being part of a group and owning a bit of space?（1）The writer was angry as he was travelling on a train to London because .A . he had no place to sitB . someone had invaded his spaceC . too many people shared a section with himD . some other people talked about things he didnt know about（2）you feel lonely and outside in paragraph 4 means that .A . you are alone outside the houseB . you feel lonely because you travel on your ownC . you are alone and therefore you go outside to have some funD . you feel lonely and you dont belong to that place or that group of people（3）In Paragraph 4, the pronoun them refers to(所指) .A . public spacesB . private spacesC . local peopleD . other countries（4）Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A . British people dislike marking their space.B . You always feel at home in another country.C . Most British people prefer living in houses to fiats.D . You cant mark your private space in a foreign country.（5）The main purpose of the passage is to tell readers to .A . own private spaces by living in housesB . have one corner of their own in public placesC . realize the importance of space in communicationD . create their private spaces by talking with local people14. （10分）阅读理解We all know that food makes us grow every day，but sometimes it can make us happy when we feel bad. Food such as sea fish，bananas，pumpkins and chicken can help us be happy.

To make the experience truly valuable, there has to be a purpose behind the decision to study abroad. This may be a wish to perfect language skills in a foreign language environment, or a clever move in your career development. You must also consider the costs, not just of living and studying abroad, but of applying (申请). Most universities now require international students to pay for application.If you are sure that you want to apply to study abroad after considering these points, your next step is to choose the right programme of studies. Research your choices and choose carefully. You must do your homework well. Most universities have information online but you can also email and ask them to send you more details. You can find a lot of information on school ranking from education websites. But read carefully. Different universities emphasize different strengths (强调不同的强项). Dont just think about the universitys reputation (名声); look for the most suitable for your purposes.Next, you must deal with a large pile of paperwork. This includes filling in application form, preparing your school records, and getting recommendation letters. Reading the instructions and requirements of the universities carefully is of great importance. Sadly, many fine applicants (申请者) get kicked out in the first round, simply because they dont follow the application procedure (程序) properly.Money is another important consideration. Some scholarships are provided by governments, others by schools and colleges. This information, again, can be found on the Internet. If you find a scholarship that is suitable for you, follow the application procedure carefully; the earlier you apply, the better your chance of getting it.（1）According to the article, studying abroad is truly valuable because _. A . it is an interesting experienceB . all your friends are doing soC . it is a good chance to develop your careerD . it is fun to travel around the world（2）A school ranking list tells you _. A . how much the courses costB . the names of all the professorsC . how good the school is compared to othersD . where the school is located（3）What are the three things to do when you are applying to study in a university abroad? A . Study hard, read the instructions and requirements, and buy an airplane ticket.B . Prepare recommendation letters, prepare school records, and fill in the application form.C . Prepare school records, do paperwork, and work hard.D . Write a recommendation letter, do paperwork, and study hard.四、 补全对话 (共1题；共5分)16. （5分）根据所给汉语提示完成对话。A： Bill，_.(这些天我们太累了。) Lets go somewhere to relax this evening.B： OK._ ?(你想去哪里?)A： Some new films are on this week.

Ms LaRosa is a great teacher. She can answer almost any question that you have about any history topic and if she cannot, she will try her best to help you find the answer. Although she has a hearing aid(助听器)，she does not let that prevent her from being a great teacher. She told the class about it on the first day and told us not to let it get in the way of our learning and not to treat her differently.We all like her class, especially an activity which is called the station. Stations are when our tables of four or five become our groups and we go through four various activities, such as Ancient China, in which we need to put together a sentence and write it using ancient symbols. Each station needs about 40 minutes to complete.Ms LaRosa has a policy that not many teachers give a second thought to. That is writing in cursive( 草书的) letters. She will provide you with various resources so that your cursive handwriting is the best that it can be. Ms LaRosa always says that she has a reason for everything that she does. Recently we just understood her reason for supporting cursive handwriting. Cursive writing can force you to think in words but not in letters. Also it has been proven that people who write in cursive letters do better on tests.Ms LaRosas class gets to do various fun and exciting things. She also uses real examples from her own life, such as things that her daughter has done. Ms LaRosa also has absolute trust in her students. She always leaves her purse on her desk.Ms LaRosa is a great person and a great teacher who is always there for you, and I feel like I can tell her anything.（1）Ms LaRosa is a teacher with a good knowledge of history, isnt she? （2）What activity is especially liked by the students? （3）How long do the students usually spend on each station? （4）Why does Ms LaRosa support cursive handwriting? （5）How does Ms LaRosa usually teach her class? （6）What do you think makes Ms LaRosa a great teacher? 七、 书面表达 (共1题；共5分)19. （5分）请根据提示写一篇题目为The Population Problem 的短文。（6080词）提示：1）人口问题是当今世界上最大的问题之一；2）中国是世界上人口最多的国家。3）如果人口增长过快，将会带来许多严重问题。第 14 页 共 14 页参考答案一、 单项选择 (共10题；共20分)1-1、2-1、3-1、4-1、5-1、6-1、7-1、8-1、9-1、10-1、二、 完形填空 (共2题；共15分)11-1、12-1、三、 阅读理解 (共3题；共26分)13-1、13-2、13-3、13-4、13-5、14-1、14-2、14-3、14-4、14-5、15-1、15-2、15-3、四、 补全对话 (共1题；共5分)16-1、五、 短文填空 (共1题；共5分)17-1、17-2、17-3、17-4、17-5、六、 任务型阅读 (共1题；共30分)18-1、18-2、18-3、18-4、18-5、18-6、七、 书面表达 (共1题；共5分)19-1、
