Few buildings on earth can compete with the legendary beauty of the Taj Mahal. Towering over the ancient Indian city of Agra, the Taj Mahal is the grandest monument (纪念碑) to love ever created.
The lovers in this story are the 17th century Indian emperor Shah Jehan and his wife Mumtaz Mahal. She took a leading role in advising him, which is something unusual for a woman to do for a husband who’s an emperor. Over the course of their nineteen-year marriage she gave birth to 14 children. But in 1631 while trying to deliver their fifteenth — she tragically died. He was heartbroken when she died. And after her death, he decided to build the world’s greatest monument ever built, for love.
He ordered the royal architects to design the most beautiful building the world had known and decided to name it after his beloved, Mumtaz Mahal. He called on twenty thousand workers and sent many more people to all corners of his country in search of valuable metals and jewels. And after seventeen years of hard work, Shah Jehan’s monument was completed and his beloved empress was moved to her final resting place.
Everything had gone according to plan, but Shah Jehan’s luck was about to change ... In 1658, just four years after the completion of the Taj Mahal, he was thrown out of power. Unfortunately, his son, Aran Azibe imprisoned him, his own father. And he spent the last seven years of his life in prison. And he was allowed to look at the Taj Mahal through a window. His life was in ruins, but when he died his last wish was promised. He was buried beside his beloved wife in the Taj Mahal.
21. The Taj Mahal was built for ______.
A. Mumtaz B. Shah C. Mumtaz or Shah D. Mumtaz and Shah

B. She gave important advice to her husband.

Brazil sports are out of control! Brazil may be one of the most sports-crazy countries in the world. Whether you are into watching or playing, Brazil sports have a lot to offer everyone.
Football in Brazil is more than a sport. It’s a way of life. Football is popular in Brazil for several reasons. One reason is that it is fast paced and fun to watch. This is the reason why the World Cup Soccer is the most watched sports event in the world aside from the Summer Olympics. Also, you don’t need anything to play soccer except for something to kick, and a big area in which to play. Few will argue if you say that Brazil leads the world in football. No nation has won as many world cups as Brazil.
Volleyball is a close second in Brazil sports. In the world of international volleyball, Brazil wins many championships of all kinds, including indoor and beach volleyball. Brazil has nearly5,000 miles of coastline. If you go to a beach in Brazil, there will always be a volleyball game going on somewhere, and usually two or three.
Footvolley was created in Brazil in the 1960s. It is a mix of football and volleyball, where the players must use their feet and head to get the ball over the net and into the opponents’ court, and is also played in sand. It is one of the most popular beach sports in Brazil.
Swimming, tennis, rugby, boxing, judo, sailing, golf, surfing, and handball are all greatly popular in Brazil.

Taking a shower is relaxing. You can hum a song, daydream or think about nothing, leaving the real world behind you. But did you know that showering can also benefit your mind?
A research by Scott Barry Kaufman, a psychologist from Yale University in the US interviewed over 3,000 people around the world. It turned out that nearly two-thirds of the interviewees said they had experienced new ideas in the shower and were more likely to have them in the shower than at work.
So why does a simple shower have such magic power? Science can explain it.
Showering can help to raise our level of dopamine, a hormone(荷尔蒙) closely related to our creativity. “People vary in terms of their level of creativity according to the activity of dopamine”, explained Alice Flaherty, a famous American neuroscientist(神经系统学家). “Taking a warm shower can make us feel relaxed and therefore make the dopamine level rise and bring ‘Aha!’ moment to us.”
Besides the chemical changes, showering may give you a break from what you feel you have been stuck with. Especially when you have thought hard all day about a problem, jumping into the shower can keep you from the outside world so that you can focus on your inner feelings and memories. In this way, according to American psychologist Shelley H.Carson, author of Your Creative Brain, “a showering hour may turn into an ‘incubation (孵化) period’ for your ideas.”
Compared with sitting in front of a computer, taking a shower is something we do less frequently in our daily life. When showering, we get a fresh experience with the change of location, temperature and humidity. “New and unexpected experiences can lead to positive changes in thinking,” explained Kaufman. “Getting off the couch and jumping in the shower may create a distance and force you to think from a new point of view.”
Showering allows us to enjoy the creative juices of our minds, but it needn’t just be the bathroom where you get your inspiration. For instance, Gertrude Stein, a female American writer
and poet, got new ideas by driving around a farm and stopping at different cows until she found the one that most inspired her. So try to create your own way to free your mind, whether it’s walk near the ocean, a country drive or reading a book at home.
28. According to the article, what changes can showering cause?
A. Leading to boredom or tiredness. B. Increasing the level of dopamine.
C. Decreasing the level of dopamine. D. Setting the creative part of the brain free.
29. If one has focused on something all day, showering can help _______.
A.one make an important breakthrough B. draw one’s attention to the outside world
C. turn one’s attention inwards D. many chemical changes to take place
30. It can be inferred from the article that _______.
A. changes in the frequency of an action can create a new perspective
B. it is a good idea to talk with others about their sources of inspiration
C. our lives might feel longer and fuller if we frequently try new things
D. it is helpful to try something different rather than stay focused on a difficult task
31. The example of Gertrude Stein in the last paragraph is used to _______.
A. encourage readers to find their own ways of getting inspiration
B. explain how to link inspiration with readers’ daily lives
C. point out to readers that it’s hard to find inspiration
D. show that creativity often comes from strange places
D
Many high school students consider a college education useless. Therefore, they choose not to go to college. If you’re one of them, think again. Here are some reasons why you should go to college and receive a good education there.
Schools and universities are the first sources of knowledge. We take that knowledge later on to build our careers after graduation. More knowledge will be gained after you start working, but without an education, that job will not be within easy reach. Knowledge leads to knowledge.
While limited within the walls of the educational institutions, we openly explore other cultures of the world. We come to know that ours is not the only culture. Other cultures have valuable insights to share, enriching our own. Education also makes us want to travel and interact with various cultures, broadening our horizons.
When there’s a downturn (衰退) in the economy, those who attended college will be more likely to find a new job than those who only finished grade school and have a limited skills set. The more education you have, the more chances you will get to improve the quality of your life as you have a better job and earn a higher salary.
When you’re skillful and knowledgeable, you get to “rub knees” with people of similar backgrounds and tastes. It means a good education leads to excellent networking. Good networking can benefit you a lot in your later life.
A good education makes you a more interesting person. You can talk about ideas and events instead of just other people and what’s on sale in stores. An educated person doesn’t gossip, having a preference to discuss ideas and listen to what other people have to say.
32. Paragraph 2 mainly shows that going to college allows you to .
A. have a chance to study abroad B. keep gaining knowledge
C. become a more interesting person D.realize the importance of knowledge
33. According to Paragraph 3, what does going to college mean?
A. Having a greater understanding of different cultures.
B. Being limited within the walls of a college.
C. Valuing our own culture much more.
D. Thinking differently from others.
34. By giving the example of a downturn in the economy, what does the author want to show?
A. A good education can improve your tastes.
B. A good education sometimes means nothing.
C. A good education means you will not lose your job.
D. A good education allows you to keep a high quality of life.
35. What is the text mainly about?
A. Sources of knowledge.
B. Benefits of attending college.
C. The disadvantages of not being educated.
D. The reason why some people think college useless.

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。
Having a shy style isn’t necessarily a problem. It’s perfectly OK to take time to warm up new people and situations. Here are some tips for beating shy feelings.
Start small with people you know. Practice social behaviors like eye contact, confident body language, introductions, small talk, asking questions, and invitations with the people you feel most comfortable around. Smile. Build your confidence this way. 36 .
Think of some conversation starters. 37 . Think of conversation openers, like introducing yourself, giving a compliment, or asking a question. Being ready with a conversation starter (or a few) makes it easier to approach someone.
Rehearse(排练) what to say. 38 . Rehearse it out loud, maybe even in front of the mirror. Then just do it. Don’t worry if it’s not exactly like you have practiced or if it’s not perfect. Also few of the things confident people do are perfect. Next time, it’ll be better because it will be easier.
39 . Find group activities where you can be with people who share your interests. Give yourself a chance to practice socializing (社交) with these new people, and get to know them slowly. People who are shy often worry about failing or how others will think about them. So treat yourself like your own best friend. Encourage yourself instead of expecting to fail.
Most of all, be yourself. It’s OK to try out different conversational ways you see others use. 40 . Being the real you and daring to let yourself be noticed are what attract friends.
A. It’s important to make friends.
B. Then try to do this with new friends, too.
C. Give yourself a chance to take part in activities.
D. Write down what you want to say beforehand.
E. Often, the hardest part of talking to someone new is getting started.
F. But say and do what fits your style.
G. Shyness is an obvious shortcoming.

Dear Sir,
Thank you very much for invite me to the summer English course in your school. As for my choice between the two courses, I prefer the four-week course because of this will allow me more time to do some traveling but make a few new friends. Of all the subject I’m learning at school, I like English best. I had been learning English for eleven years but my spoken English remains to be poorly. So I really hope to take this chance to improve them. If possible, I’d like to stay with a family for a couple of days so that I can learn some customs in England, that I’m particularly interesting in. I believe I will have good time this summer.
Yours truly,
Li Hua

Opinions on Online Shopping
With the development and popularity of the Internet, online shopping has become more and more common in China. I’m writing to share my views about online shopping.
On the one hand, I believe it’s convenient and economical. With the help of online shopping, we can buy things we want at home with a click of the mouse instead of going to the shopping mall. Besides, we might save money by comparing the price of goods sold in different online shops.
On the other hand, it might lead to many problems. For one thing, your package can’t always reach you on time due to various unexpected reasons. For another, you can’t try on the clothes to see if they fit you or not like you do when shopping in a real shop.
All in all, I hold that high school students should have a cautious attitude towards online shopping in order to avoid wasting money or buying things of poor quality.
