When we receive something that we want, or something happens 41 we like, we usually feel joy or happiness. Joy is a positive and powerful emotion, 42 for which we all strive.

Traveling can be a way to gain life experiences, especially during Spring Break — a week long school vacation in the United States. But what if you're a student and don't have enough money for a trip? Don't worry. Here are some useful suggestions.

●Save: This probably is the most important preparation for traveling. Cut expenses to fatten your wallet so you'll have more choices about where to go and how to get there.

●Plan ahead: Don't wait until the last minute to plan your trip. Tickets may cost more when bought on short notice. Giving yourself several months to get ready can mean security(安全) and savings.

●Do your homework: No matter where you go, research the places you will visit. Decide what to see. Travel books will provide information on the cheapest hotels and restaurants.

●Plan sensibly: Write down what you expect to spend for food and hotels. Stick to your plan or you may not have enough money to cover everything.

●Travel in groups: Find someone who is interested in v isiting the same places. By traveling with others you can share costs and experiences.

●Work as you go: Need more money to support your trip? Look for work in the places you visit.

●Go off the beaten path: Tourist cities may be expensive. You may want to rethink your trip and go to a lesser-known area. Smaller towns can have many interesting activities and sights.

●Pack necessary things: The most important things to take are not always clothes: Remember

medicine in case you get sick and snacks in case you cannot find a cheap restaurant.

●Use the Internet: The Net can help to save money. Some useful websites include www. Travelocity. com, www. bargains-lowest fare. com and www. Economic travel. com.

By planning sensibly, even students can enjoy the travel. Your travel experiences will be remembered for a lifetime.

All over the world mention of the British education suggests a picture of the "public school", and it suggests in particular the names of certain very famous institutions-Eton, Oxford and Cambridge; but people do not always realize what place these situations occupy in the whole educational system. Oxford and Cambridge are universities each having about 12 000 students out of a total of over 250 000 students at all British universities. Eton is a public school, and the best known of the public schools, which in spite of their names, are not really public at all, but independent and private secondary schools taking boys from the age of thirteen to eighteen years. The public schools in reality form a very small part of the school system of secondary education of Great Britain; only about one out of forty English boys goes to a public school, and one out of 1500-to Eton.

Apart from the so-called public schools there is a complete system of state primary and secondary education, which resembles in its general form the state education in most other countries. All children must, by law, receive full-time education between the ages of five and sixteen. Any child may attend, without paying fees, a school provided by the public authorities, and the great majority attend such schools. They may continue, still without paying fees, until they are eighteen. The public schools, although unimportant numerically, have been England's most peculiar and characteristic to educational methods, and they have an immense influence on the whole of English educational practice and on the English social structure.

60.What was the purpose of the author to write the passage?

A.It was to tell people the difference between Eton on the one hand and Oxford and Cambridge on the

other.

B.It was to tell people what the public schools in Great Britain are like.

C.It was to tell people something about Britain educational system.

D.All of the above.

61.Which of the following British child is allowed to go to a public school in Great Britain?

A.A thirteen-year-old girl.

B.A five-year-old girl.

C.A thirteen-year-old boy.

D.A five-year-old boy.

62.Why does the author say that the so-called public school Eton is not "public"?

A.Because no girls are admitted in Eton.

B.Because parents have to pay fees for their children at Eton.

C.Because it belongs to the few, numerically unimportant schools in Britain.

D.Because only one fortieth of British boys go to Eton.

63. The mention of British education outside Great Britain suggests a picture of public schools in that country probably because _____ .

A.the whole of English educational practice has been greatly influenced by them.

B.some of them are as famous as the universities Oxford and Cambridge.

C.these public schools are quite different in form from the public schools in any other countries.

D.there are famous schools like Eton among them.

(C)

Suicide has been a cause of concern in most societies for a long time. The classical Greeks, for example, required people who wanted to kill themselves to get permission from the senate. While this law is not without humor by today's standards, it clearly shows an awareness of the problem in times gone by. In today's society, suicide is much more prevalent than we want to admit. Why do people try to take their own lives?

The motives for suicide can be categorized into areas such as a failure, wrath (暴怒), the need for attention, stress, and so on. However, the qualities of a person who wants to take his own life change from person to person, making it difficult to depict (描写) the typical victim. To make the problem even more involved, people will often camouflage (掩盖) their true feelings, thus causing their friends to disregard problems that should be viewed as serious.

In the United States, a network of centers has been created to attempt to prevent suicides. People who are bitter, worried, or depressed are encouraged to contact workers at these centers. These workers, often trained volunteers, offer kindly advice to the callers, trying to help the callers to see that suicide as a solutions to problems is an illusion .the accomplishments of these centers, insofar as their effectiveness to reduce suicide is concerned, air minimal. However, they have helped a lot of people with a wide variety of problems. So, in the somewhat amorphous (难以名状的) area of man helping his fellow man, they are certainly a success.

64.Which of the following statements is true according to the article?

A.The classical Greeks did not know the existence of suicide.

B.Suicide has always been prevalent in all parts of the world.

C.In today's society, there are quite a number of people who commit suicide.

D.Nowadays suicide is not as common as it was in the past.

65.Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a motive for suicide?

A.Insanity.

B.Pressure.

C.The need for attention.

D.Great anger.

66.Which of the following statements is NOT true?

A.people who want to take their own lives often disguise their feelings.

B.It is difficult to describe what kind of people tend to commit suicide.

C.Suicide has been a problem in most societies since ancient times.

D.People who commit suicide all share certain characteristics.

67.The third paragraph mainly tells us that ___________________.

A.a network of centers has been quite effective in reducing suicide.

B.a network of centers has been quite effective in reducing suicide.

C.people are making efforts to help those who tend to commit suicide and in a way, they are successful.

D.in the United States, people who want to commit suicide call a network of centers to get help.

(D)

Leaving a tip in a restaurant has become a custom in most countries. The word "tip" came from the Latin word "Gratis", meaning free. Tips are defined as small gifts of money for service in addition to the payment due.

Believe it or not, the practice of tipping has a little interesting history. The custom can be traced back to the Roman era. The Romans were the first civilization to use coins. It is possible that the word "tip" came from the word stipend. Strips in Latin means gift. A more common belief is tips were first given in the 18th century England. A popular coffee house equipped each table with a coin box. The label of each box read: "To insure promptness." Dropping a coin into the box would result in quick service. Also, the first letter of each word is T.I.P.–tip.

In America and Europe it is customary to tip anywhere from 10% to 20%. Taxi drivers, waiters in restaurants, waitresses in lounges, hotel boys, doormen, and disco coat check girls, all expect a little something. People working at these jobs usually receive a low basic salary. Tips are quite necessary to supplement their income. Today most people decide the size of tip according to the quality of the service. If the service is good ,most people are quite happy to leave a tip.

The world is full of big spenders and people who act like big spenders. Surprisingly, rich people are not "big tippers" unless entertaining guests. It is no use showing off if nobody is there to watch, right? Many throw money around like water to impress a group of friends out for an evening "on the town". People who usually cannot afford it are the biggest tippers in front of their friends. It is all part of the show to prove a certain level of social success. Nobody wants to look cheap, stingy, or poor in front of their friends. Over-tipping also gives some satisfaction just to see the waiter's reaction.

For whatever reason, tipping will continue to be practiced in most countries. Tipping does have its place in our modern society. It will also remain a somewhat personal expression of gratitude.

68.What is the meaning of the word "gratis" according to the passage?

A.free of obligation

B.free of charge

C.plenty in time

D.free from tax

69.Which of the following statements is true?

A.Most people think that tips originated in England.

B.Most people think that tips originated in Rome

C.Today most people decide the size of tips according to their mood.

D.According to the author, the practice of tipping does not have an interesting history

70.How to understand the sentence "The world is full of big spenders and people who act like big spenders."?

A.All people in the world have a lot of money.

B.No one in the world has a lot of money.

C.Many people spend a large sum of money every day.

D.The number of people who either have a lot of money or who pretend to be rich is great.

71.Why are people who cannot afford tipping the biggest tippers in front of their friends?

A.Because they have a lot of money.

B.Because they sympathize with taxi drivers, waiters in restaurants, waitresses in lounges and disco coat check girls, etc.

C.Because of their vanity(虚荣).

D.None of the above.

(E)

The increase in the price of oil has brought the world to its senses. Scientists are searching for a suitable alternative (替换) but so far in vain. They are considering how they can make better use of the two other major fuels, coal and natural gas, but they have found that neither can take the place of oil in their economics. In recent years there has been a growing concern for the environment and coal is not a popular fuel with environmentalists. Natural gas, the purest of the three fuels, is also the most limited in supply.

The answer would seem to lie in nuclear power stations. They need very little fuel to produce enormous amounts of power and they do not pollute the atmosphere. Their dangers, however, are so great and the cost of building them are also high. Not only could one accident in a nuclear power station spread as much radioactivity as a thousand Hiroshima atom bombs, but the radioactive waste from these stations is extremely dangerous.

Scientists have recently turned their attention to natural sources of energy: the sun, the sea, the wind and hot springs. Of these the sun seems the most promising source for the future. Houses have already been built which are heated entirely by solar energy. However, solar energy can only be collected during daylight hours, and in countries where the weather is unreliable, an alternative heating system has to be included.

However, many scientists are optimistic (乐观的) that new ways of generating large amounts of energy will be successfully developed, but at the same time they fear the consequences. If the world population goes on increasing at its present rate, we may, in fifty years' time, be burning up so much energy that we would damage the earth's atmosphere. By raising the temperature of the atmosphere, we could melt the Arctic and Antarctic ice-caps and change the pattern of vegetable and animal life throughout the world——-a frightening possibility.

72.The main reason why coal can not replace oil is that ________________________.

A.it is more expensive than oil

B.it is a heavy pollutant

C.it is limited in supply

D.it is of little economic value

73.According to the author, which of the following energy sources is most likely to take the place of oil?

A.Solar energy.

B.Coal and gas.

C.Atomic energy.

D.None of the above.

74.What worries scientists most is that we would ______________.

A.burn up all energy supply

B.find no alternative source of energy

C.increase the population at a high rate

D.damage the earth's atmosphere

75.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to this passage?

A.Scientists have succeeded in finding a suitable alternative.

B.Scientists have tried several sources of energy but none of them is a suitable alternative.

C.Scientists are confident that they will eventually solve the energy problem.

D.Scientists are trying their best to find a potential source of energy.

英语

答案与解析：

21.A。多个形容词作定语顺序一般是:all/quite/such/rather限定词(包括冠词、物主代词、指示代词、数词、不定代词等) + 描绘形容词(短词在前,长词在后)+ 特征形容词(包括大小、形状、新旧、年龄等)+ 颜色形容词+ 类属形容词(包括专有形容词和材料质地形容词) + 名词性定语(包括动名词)+ 名词。

22.B。他既能说英语，又能说俄语，但是他的母语是法语。

23.C。however引导让步状语从句时，它与它所修饰的成分一起放在从句句首。

24.A。concentrate on是固定短语，意为"集中精力于……"；with the noise loud outside是伴随状语，同时也表示原因。

25.C。referred to是过去分词作后置定语修饰profess, 意为"被提到的"；第二个空要用虚拟语气，谓语用should+动词原形或省略should。

26.A。classify分类整理；recognize认出；辨认；承认；store贮存；accumulate积累。

27.D。杰克一定没有收到我的信，要不然在现在之前他早回信了。

28.B。My pleasure相当于It's my pleasure,意为"不用谢"。with pleasure相当于I'm glad to。

29.A。success此处是可数名词，表示"一个成功的宴会"，前面要用不定冠词；came to an end是固定短语，意为"结束"。

30.B。apart from相当于besides, in addition to。

31.C。advocate(=speak in favour of)倡导，提倡，支持;assist帮助；acknowledge和admit都表示"承认"。

32.A。由objects和spaceships可知，此处表复数意义。"他们相信飞碟是外星人的飞船。"

33.D。deliver 递送；transport 运输；infect感染；transfer转移。

34.A。would have gone to visit...表示语气，暗示"没有去医院看他"。"我上周整周都忙"是陈述过去的事实。

35.B。既使站一晚上的队，杰克下决心也要买到音乐会的票。as if好像是；even if即使；in case 以防；万一；as long as只要。

36.C。你能感受到多少种喜怒哀乐的情绪呢？shocked 震惊；astounded 吃惊；求surprised 惊讶，吃惊；bewildered 迷惑，弄糊涂；你会吃惊地发现在很难描述它们。

37.B。以not only开头，这个句子要倒装；这些感觉不仅仅很难用语言来描述的，它们很难…，所以A、C两项显然排除，另外看后一句知用复数形式，故B正确。

38.A。list 清单，一览表；recognize 承认，认出；arrange 整理，分类；understand 懂得，明白；它们很难一一列（list）出来。

39.B。agree 同意；agree on 对…意见一致；agree to 同意，商定；agree with 同意某人（或某人意见）；这句话正确意思应该是:"结果，两人很少意见都一致。"

40.D。necessary 必需的，必要的；vital 生命的，有生命力的，至关重要的；essential

必要的，本质的；basic 基本的，基础的；然而，有许多种基本的感情大多数人都经历过。根据

选项意思可能选出正确答案为D，这是考查词汇掌握情况的题。

41.C。当我们得到了想要的东西，或者期待的事情发生了，我们通常会很高兴和幸福。

42. A。"joy"是一种正面的，强烈的感情…；用不定代词one代指前面的joy，两句是同谓语关系。

43.D。search for 寻求；这句话意思是:"我们每个人都寻求幸福"。

44.B。as a rule 通常，一般(说来)；固定搭配。

45.A。我们什么时候会有愉悦的心情呢？就是当我们达到了我们的目标时，得到了我们想要的东西时；desired 期望，要求；desirous渴望的；prospective未来的, 预期的；

fascinated 迷人，迷住。根据句意，看选择项显然是A项意思符合。

46.C。做题之前先看第三段第一句话大意是说"人们期待不同的目标与东西，有的人以修理机动车为乐，有人以做数学题为乐。" 根据这句话的逻辑关系可知这里用since（表原因，相当于as）最为合适；而下个空用D项，那么这句话意思就完整了:"由于人们期待不同的目标与东西，因此可能有的人以修理机动车为乐，而有的人却以做数学题为乐，这就可以理解了。"

47.D。参考上题解析；understandable 可理解的；这里需一个形容词，构成系表结构。

48.C。把这句联系起来，注意句子逻辑关系，参考46题，显然用while最为合适。

49.D。接着说"当然我们每个人享受不同的目标与乐趣，但最终我们都体验到快乐。"以上这四个题选项就有两个表示原因。

50. A。几个排比句式，or in just being together, 或者只是在一起。

51. B。have difficulty in doing sth 做……有困难；

52. D。当我们在实现我们的目标或得到我们想要的东西的过程中遇到困难时，我们体验到…感情呢？比如生气和悲伤。看选项:bad 坏的；unpleasant 令人不快的，讨厌的；uneasy 不自在的，不舒适的；negative 否定的，消极的；显然这里"生气和悲伤"是属于消极的情绪，D项最合适；其实做这类就是要看上下文，特别是such as后面的例子最能给你提供线索。

53. D。当我们在自己的道路上几乎没有遇到什么困难时，我们体验到…挫折与压力。看选项显然minor最恰当，这时我们很少感到挫折与压力。

54. C。go out for a date 赴约，约会，固定搭配；如果你穿好衣服去约会，当突然拉链开了，或扣子掉了时，你会感到很丧气。

55. C。在实现目标过程中困难越多，你感触越强，那么你越能成功。如果真的想要什么事发生，你感到它应当发生，但是有人阻止了这件事的发生，你会感到非常的气愤。

56.A。主旨题。根据第1段最后句及全文的内容可推知此题答案为A。

57.C。推断题。根据第1则建议可推知此题答案为C。

58.B。细节题。根据第7则建议可推知此题答案为B。

59.C。细节题。根据文章的首句和尾句可知此题答案为C。

60.B。文章第一句就说:…a picture of the "public schools"；显然，作者写这篇文章的目的是:（B 项）告诉人们英国的公立学校是什么样子。A项是意思是"一方面告诉人们伊顿（Eton college:伊顿公学）与牛津（Oxford）的不同之处，另一方面也告诉人们它与剑桥的不同之处。文章提到伊顿和牛津学校，但并不旨在比较他们，只说这几所学校都非常出名。

61.C。文章第一段中:Eton is a public school, ……taking boys from the age of thirteen to eighteen years.我们知道，伊顿学校只接收十三岁到十八岁的男孩，所以只有C符合。

62.C。为什么作者说被称为公立的伊顿学校并非"公立"？A项文章没有提及，比较少隐藏，上题

我们的例句中说到…taking boys from…，知道伊顿接收的学习对象是男孩儿，但这并非其被认为非"公立"的原因；B项文章没有提及；C项为正确答案，参考文章最后一句:The public schools, although unimportant numerically, have been England's most peculiar and characteristic to educational methods, and they have an immense influence on …。D项也不是其原因。

63.A。文章最后一句说得很明白:The public schools,…they have an immense influence on the whole of English educational practice and on the English social structure.故A正确。

64.C。主题思想题.文章的大意是说在目前出现的自杀想象，引起自杀的原因以及提出解决的方法.很明显在把握文章大意的同时就知道Ｃ是正确的.

65.Ａ。Ａ的意思是荒唐的。第２段的地一句话说明了自杀的相关原因和动机，Ａ文章里面没有涉及.

66.D。Ａ在第一段的中间提到了，Ｂ自杀的动机是很明显的，并且作者列举了几个所以Ｂ也是不正确的。Ｃ中的ancient times是说在古时候就有了，也不是正确的反映作者的表达.

67.C。细节题。Ｃ的含义是说人们在努力的帮助那些想自杀的人，在某种程度上他们已经取的了一定胜利.文章的最后一句就是这个意思.

68.A 。B是免于起诉C是充足的时间D是免于征税，A是责任义务的免除。根据文章对消费的介绍选择A项比较妥帖。

69.A。推论题。第2段的第2句是说这个习惯追溯到罗马但是大家普遍认为的是在英国，理由同上。

70.D。A、B明显是错误的,C和文章没有联系，主要是说一些有钱的和貌似有钱的人在消费上面的表现。C不能体现出该要表达的含义。

71.C。vanity是虚荣奢华的含义，最后2段主要说. It is all part of the show to prove a certain level of social success. Nobody wants to look cheap, stingy, or poor in front of their friends是说没有钱人的虚荣！C应该是最合适的答案。

72.B。为什么煤炭不能代替石油的原因是其污染很严重。文章第一段中说煤炭并不是环保工作者喜欢的燃料。

73.D。第一段中说:他们发现煤和天然气这两种都不能代替石油。另外看作者的态度，在文中作者又提到了太阳能，但是又否定了，也就是每说一种能源，然后就否定这种能源，都不能代替石油。

74.D。破坏大气层。文章中提到了，注意细节。

75.A。细节题。在文章中能找到答案。

76. 把went改成came。猫剧是国外的，所以说到北京“来”。

77. 把looking改成looked。和前面的bought是并列行为。

78. 改and为but。根据下文知道该句和前面的分句间是转折关系。

79. 把other改成another。performance是可数名词，这里指下文说的另一种表现。

80. 去掉time前的the。ahead of time是固定搭配，意思是：提前。

81. good应该换成well。这里是副词修饰动词的过去分词，该分词作定语。

82. 把the改成my。catch one’s attention是一个习惯搭配，“吸引某人的注意”。

83. So改成Although。该句和下一分句间是转折关系。

84. ago改成before。这里表示的是过去的过去，而ago用于表示现在以前。

85. 正确。
