I enjoy traveling

It is important for us all to have at least one or two hobbies in our daily life. Some enjoy reading or writing, others are favor of playing basketball or football. As for me, traveling is one of my favorite hobbies.

First, surrounded with much endless work and pressure,we sometimes feel tired and desperate, so going somewhere different is necessary to relax and change the way of thinking. Second, traveling can not only widen our horizons but also enrich our knowledge in many fields. Besides, experiencing different kinds of cultures is essential for our future life.

In short, as far as I am concerned, traveling all around the world sounds so wonderful that I can’t helping thinking working harder to achieve my ambition.

解析：

1.It is important for us all to have at least one or two hobbies in our daily life. It is+adj+for/of sb+to do sth 句型，作文里很好用的句型，at least 至少

2.are favor of+doing，表示喜欢，可用于替代like，love，enjoy等词汇

3.As for me, traveling is one of my favorite hobbies,which benefit me a great deal. 动名词做主语的句型，谓语动词用单数形式，As for me，至于我，对于我来说。

4.surrounded with much endless work and pressure,we sometimes feel tired and desperate. Be surrounded with 被...包围，这里是过去分词做状语。

5.traveling can not only widen our horizons but also enrich our knowledge in many fields. Not only...but also 句型，不仅...而且；widen our horizons拓宽视野，对于基础的学生也可用widen our eyes; In many fields ,在很多方面。

6.experiencing different kinds of cultures is essential for our future life. Essential重要的，基础的，可用于替代important，key等词

7.In short，总之，这一类的词还有in a word, therefor等。

a（泛指）——第一次提到，表“一个”

The（特指）——表示特指“这个”，通常指代上文中有所提及的事物或人。 2. 元音发音要用an：

2

1) 通常以a,e,i,o,u开头的可数名词单数要用an

Hundreds of years ago, news was carried from place to place by people on foot or by horse. It took days, weeks and sometimes months for people to receive news. Now, it is 46 to send words and pictures around the world in seconds. Billions of people learn about news stories 47 by watching TV or reading-newspapers. Newspapers have been an important part of everyday life 48 the 18lh century. Many countries have 49 different newspapers. How do newspaper editors decide which news stories to print? Why do they print some stories and not others? What makes a good newspaper story? A. always B. instead C. more D. never E. unusual Firstly, it is important to report new events. TV stations can report news much faster than newspapers. Yet, newspapers give 50 about the same story. They may also look at the story in another way, or they may print totally different stories to those on TV.

Secondly, a news story has to be interesting and 51 People don't want to read stories about everyday life. As a result, many stories are about some kind of danger and seem to be \"bad' news. For example, newspapers 52 tell stories about planes landing safely, 53 they tell stories about plane crashes. In addition, many people are interested in news in foreign countries while others prefer to read stories about people, places and events in their own country. So the stories on the front page in Chinese newspapers are usually very different from the ones in British, French and American newspapers.

Jay Kohl, an American student, posted an online advertisement two weeks ago searching for i Chinese family to stay with so that he can learn the language and culture.

\"I'm a clean, non-smoking, and warm-hearted American man looking for a homestay in the Wudaokou area to improve my Chinese language skills,\" he wrote. \"I'm willing to offer help with English tutoring(家教) and even can help you with applying to foreign universities.\"

He still hasn't found a suitable home.

\"Most of the families that contacted me seem to be interested in doing business instead o: cultural exchange,\" he said. \"I think I might have to rent an apartment in the end.\"

7

Kohl isn't the only foreigner finding it difficult to find a homestay in Beijing. Michael Benson who wants to come to Beijing in September, has also faced the same problems.

Why is finding a homestay family so difficult? Beijing Today consulted a Chinese teacher Jessie, Xi, who has been teaching foreign students at the University of International Business ant Economics for more than six years.

Xi has accepted many homestays, and from her own experience and what she's been told, she said there were four major problems visitors may meet when applying for homestays.

Problem 1: Having too high expectation for language improvement. Problem 2: Considering oneself as a guest instead of a family member. Problem

69. Kohl wanted to look for a homestay in China because he . A)hoped to learn Chinese language and culture further B)wanted to do a research on the Chinese daily life C)would like to make friends with Chinese families D) was interested in Chinese food

70. The reason why Kohl hasn't found a suitable home yet now is that he . A) can't be an English tutor in homestays B) can't help apply to foreign universities

C) might expect too much for language improvement D) might refuse to do housework in homestays

3: Not making clear what a family's rules are beforehand.

Problem 4: Overly (过分) high demands for the living environment.

75 feeling and ideas. Music also serves to entertain(娱乐) and relax.

Music is a performing art. It differs from such art as painting and poetry, in which artists create works and then display or publish them. Music composers(作曲家) need musicians to explain the meaning of their works — perform them. Thus, musical performances are partnership between composers and performers.

Music is one of the 76 arts. Hunting tools struck together may have been the first musical instruments. Many ancient people, including the Egyptians, Chinese and Babylonians, and the people of India, used music in court and religious ceremonies (宗教仪式).The first written music dates from about 2500 B.C.

Classical music, also 77 art music, is composed according to certain rules and performed by musicians from written music. Classical composers have written different styles of music during different periods of 78 . Popular music includes many kinds of music, 79 country music, jazz, rock music and music from films. Popular music is generally much simpler than classical music.

Folk music is made up of the old songs. Most folk songs began in distant areas. One person makes up a song and other people 80 it and learn to sing it. Some folk songs have been passed on in this way for thousands of years. Many composers of classical music have used folk music in their works. 75.A) write 77.A) calls

The sports utility vehicle (SUV多用途车辆) was invented in the early 1990s. It quickly became very popular in the United States. There are several r 81 for this. It is larger than most of cars. It can carry lots of

people, bicycles, toys, dogs and other things. This makes it popular with families. It also has four doors and a big back door, so getting in or out is e 82 . Since an SUV is taller than most cars, the driver can see above other cars and have a better sight of the road.With a lot more p 83 an SUV can go faster than most cars. It can also go on very rough roads where other cars cannot go.

The SUV is popular with many people, but other people do not like these cars. First, they are larger than most other cars. This means that drivers of other cars may not be able to see the road w 84 Also, SUVs are very heavy. If an SUV gets into an accident with a small car, the small car may be in s 85 trouble. Another problem with SUVs is that they are very expensive.

They are expensive to buy — about 50 percent more expensive than an average small car. They are also expensive to use, since they use a lot more gasoline(汽油) than smaller cars.There are two ways to solve these problems. One way is to change the way we think about them. Now they are sold as large cars. In the future, maybe they should be sold as trucks. Then people with just a car license could not d 86 them. They would have to get a truck license.

These licenses are more expensive and difficult to get, so p 87 fewer people would buy SUVs. The other way to solve SUV problems is to make them differently. Some people think that car companies should make

9

big SUVs smaller and less dangerous. They should also make SUVs with less powerful engines. Then they would not use so much gasoline. D. Answer the questions.(根据短文内容回答下列问题)（12分）

When I was a boy growing up in New Jersey in the 1960s, we had a milkman delivering milk to our doorstep. His name was Mr. Basille. He wore a white cap and drove a white truck. As a 5-year-old boy, I couldn't take my eyes off the coin changer(自动换币器) fixed to his belt. He noticed this one day during a delivery and gave me a quarter(两角五分钱) out of his coin changer.

Of course, he delivered more than milk. There was cheese, eggs and so on. If we needed to change our order, my mother would pen a note — \"Please add a bottle of buttermilk next delivery.\"— and place it in the box along with the empty bottles. And then, the buttermilk would magically appear.

All of this was about more than convenience. There existed a close relationship between families and their milkmen. Mr. Basille even had a key to our house, for those times when it was so cold outside that we put the box indoors, so that the milk wouldn't freeze. And I remember Mr. Basille from time to time taking a break at our kitchen table, having a cup of tea and telling stories about his delivery.

There is sadly no home milk delivery today. Big companies allowed the production of cheaper milk, thus making it difficult for milkmen to compete. Besides, milk is for sale everywhere, and it may just not have been practical to have a delivery service.

Recently, an old milk box in the countryside I saw brought back my childhood memories. I took it home and planted it on the back porch(门廊). Every so often my son's friends will ask what it is. So I start telling stories of my boyhood, and of the milkman who brought us friendship along with his milk.

Today ,clothes are made in many different colours. They are also made from many different 75 like wools, cotton, linen and silk. Most people own lots of clothes. Each day, they choose what to wear.

Clothes

Clothes cover our bodies and protect us from the weather. They can also make us feel good about the way we look. Sometimes, our clothes tell other people 76 about us, such as the work we do or what religion we are. People have been wearing clothes for many thousands of years, but the clothes people wore long ago were different from the clothes people wear today.

Fashion

Fashion means the kinds of clothes that are popular at one time. Ancient Romans wore dresses. Some Romans wore togas to special events. Long ago, women in some countries wore corsets under their dresses. Corsets were pulled in tight and tied at the back, so they weren’t 77 to wear. Women wore corsets to make their waists look smaller. Fashion 78 . It can be different from place to place. However, most people today wear simple clothes that are easy to put on and care for. Clothes need to be 79 for the climate a person lives in, too.

Uniforms

People have worn uniforms for thousands of years. Uniforms show the work people do, or what school they go to, or what team or group they belong to. Most uniforms today are suitable. Some uniforms 80 help to protect people from danger.

Clothes in the past and the future

You can learn more about the clothes people used to wear by looking at old painting and old photos. What clothes will people wear in the future? What styles will people wear? Maybe people in the future will look back at the clothes in fashion today and think they look strange! 75. A. products B. chemicals C. materials D. styles

Smart Work

Maybe you have seen this in schools: Some students study nearly all the time but they just pass their exams, while some others may spend much l 81 time on their books but do much better in exams. How could this happen? People used to think that hard work is the only way to success. But now they understand that smart work can make them successful, too.

Hard workers don’t m 82 working for long hours, while smart workers always think of several different answers to these questions. “ Why should I suffer this?” “Isn’t there a better way to do this?” Thanks to these people, we can use computers instead of the abacus now. P 83 every field is the direct result of “ try to find a better way” by smart workers. There was a large soap factory in Japan. Once it

11

received an unusual letter from someone who c 84 that there was no soap in the soapbox he bought.

How could empty soapbox go out of the factory? The engineers checked the producing and packing. The producing was fine, but in about one in ten thousand cases, the packing machines let an empty soapbox go. There was no need to spend a lot of money repairing the machine for such a small problem. The engineer soon worked out a s 85 . H e put a large X- ray machine and two large computers to find out the empty soapbox. A 86 teaching the workers how to use it, he sat down in his seat, exhausted. “Sir, we could have solved the problems in a much simpler and cheaper way.” A worker said.

“Really? How?” “We can put a huge fan near the packing machine. The wind coming from the fan will blow away the empty boxes and leave the other o 87 with soap. There would be no need for an X- ray machine, two computers, and operating by workers.

See, this is smart work. In order to succeed, we should not only learn from the engineers’ hard work, but also think smart like the workers.

Some have a short lifetime but others can influence the language for long. On_ 51 hand, we get new words in many different ways. We borrow them from other languages, we create them by making words _ 52 or combining words and we make them out of proper names.

Languages that don’t change over time are considered dead languages. The fact that English ch anges so much shows that it is _ 53 and well.

A. Choose the best answer.(根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案)

When I was growing up in America, I was ashamed of my mother’s Chinese English. Because of her Chinese English, she was often treated unfairly. People in department stores, at banks, and at restaurants did not take her seriously, did not give her good service, pretended not to understand her, or even acted as if they did not hear her.

My mother realized that she was poor at English. When I was fifteen, she used to have me call people on phone to pretend I was she. I was made to ask for information or even to shout at people who had been rude to her. One time I had to call her stockbroker. I said in an adolescent voice that was not very certain, “ This is Mrs . Tan.” My mother was standing beside me saying, “I’m getting rather worried. You agreed to send the check two weeks ago, but it hasn’t arrived.” My mother then talked more loudly. “ What he want? I come to New York to tell him in front of his boss.” And so I turned to the stockbroker again, “ I can’t accept any more excuse. If I don’t receive the check immediately, I am going to have to speak to your manager when I am in New York next week.”

The next week we ended up in New York. While I was sitting there red- faced, my mother , the real Mrs. Tan, was shouting to his boss in her broken English.

When I was a teenager, my mother’s English embarrassed me. But now, I see it differently. To me, my mother’s English is perfectly clear, perfectly natural. It is my mother tongue. Her language, as I hear it, is vivid, direct, and full of observation and wisdom. It was the language that helped me see things, express ideas, and make sense of the world.

A. received the check at once B. still failed to get the check

C. went to New York immediately D. spoke to the stockbroker’s boss at once 72. What does the underlined phrase “ make sense of” in last paragraph mean?

A. confuse B. surprise C. understand D. refuse
