I moved to the United States as a teenager. The adjustment to a new place was difficult. But there was major
stress in my life at that time: I was the only member of my family who spoke English, meaning I had to step up when
we dealt with a shop assistant, a waiter and so on. However, there was another universal language I loved to learn as
a child: art.
Although I connected myself with drawing and painting while in school, I mostly dismissed art as a path to a
career. Since my dad always said "Think about the future", I did not think he would support the study of art once I
went to college. But, to my surprise, it was my parents who suggested just that and urged me to apply to technical and
liberal arts schools.
I was admitted into industrial design. It's basically to design products and services. I could be doing something
more technical or something more related to problem-solving. It was no easy task to do the course including
metalworking, woodworking and model making. In one class I just drew cubes for an entire month, which led me to
a question:"Wow! Do I really want to do this? "But I finally survived the course.
Now I am a design strategist for Marshall Moya Design, a famous architecture and interior design company. I
have experience in exhibit design, product design and website design, apart from which I enjoy developing public art
in my free time.
Throughout my career,I've picked up different things along the way. The best way to learn in my opinion is
through working, therefore, get as many projects as you can. Industrial design kind of makes you an all-round person.
4. What was the author's biggest problem when first moving to America?
A. The adaption to a new environment. B. Difficulty in learning a new language.
C. Fathers disapproval of her studying art. D. The burden of being a communicator.
5. What made the author choose to study art?
A. Her deep love for art. B. The suggestion of her family.
C. Her potential in design. D. The need of a good job.
6. Why was the author's experience of drawing cubes mentioned?
A. To emphasize her effort at study. B. To express the regret at her choice.
C. To prove the course was difficult. D. To show the basic content of the course.7. How did the author feel when she mentioned her career?
A. Surprised. B. Stressed.
C. Eager. D. Proud.

What are dreams for? A handful of theories have the most influence. Sigmund Freud famously claimed that they
reveal hidden truths and wishes. Despite being largely unsupported by evidence,researchers found that students in
the U.S.,South Korea,and India were much more likely to accept the view. In the same study,respondents said
that dreaming about a plane crash would cause them more anxiety than an official warning about a terrorist attack.
More recent research suggests that they may help us process intense emotions,or perhaps sort through and
strengthen memories,or rehearse responses to threatening situations.
Even if dreams can’t foretell the future,they seem to expose our shared fascinations. The majority of dreams
occur during REM sleep cycles,of which the average person has four or five a night. A study of Canadian
university students found the most common dream topics to be school,falling,being chased,and arriving too late
for something.
For all the commonalities dreams exhibit,they vary across time people who grew up watching
black-and-white TV are more likely to dream in black and white—and culture. A 1958 study determined that
compared with Japanese people,Americans dreamed more about being locked up,losing a loved one,finding
money. Japanese people were more likely to dream about school,trying repeatedly to do something,being
paralyzed with fear,or “wild,violent beasts.”
If human dreams sound boring,bear in mind that even negative ones can have positive effects. In a study of
students taking a French medical—school entrance exam,60 percent of the dreams they had beforehand involved a
problem with the exam,such as being late or leaving an answer blank. But those who reported dreams about the
exam,even bad ones,did better on it than those who didn’t.
8. What do you know about Freud’s view on dreaming?
A. It will cause people more anxiety.
B. It is already been proved by evidence.
C. It is popular with some American and Asian students.
D. It can reveal the hidden truth and predict the future.
9. According to recent research,dreams may________.
A. make emotions intense B. help prepare for special situations
C. reduce our memories D. help us take notes10. According to paragraphs 2 and 3,which of the following is true?
A. The average person has four or five sleep cycles a night.
B. Canadian students aren’t worried about being late for schoo1.
C. Americans usually share the same dream topics with Japanese.
D. Films about wild beasts may be widely shown in America in 1958.
11. If you dream that you failed the exam,____________.
A. your dream will come true
B. you will be depressed with fear
C. you are supposed to take it seriously
D it shows that you care a lot about the exam

While many countries love their tea, UK citizens are particularly proud of being “tea people”. The average UK
citizen consumes nearly 2 kilograms of tea each year.
Tea only made its way to England in large quantities in the first years of the 17th century. Tea from China and a
few other Asian countries was being sold more widely in England at that time. Then tea was getting more and more
popular among different social classes.
There are many varieties of tea. Black tea mixtures are still the most common type drunk in the UK. Black tea is
dark in colour, because the leaves have been allowed to oxidize (氧化) before drying. This is why we usually serve it
with milk, although it is not uncommon to drink it black or with lemon. You may still find tea made with loose tea
leaves, served up in a pot, and poured into the best china cups with saucers (茶托) for visitors.
Tea is still a large part of daily life in the UK today, but it seems to be on the decrease. The amount of tea sold in
the UK fell by more than 10% in the five years leading up to 2002, and has been dropping ever since. Tea sales fell by
6% in 2014 alone, and most restaurants report selling more than twice as many cups of coffee as they do tea. More
than £1 billion was spent on coffee in high street stores in 2013, more than twice what was spent on tea bags.
Still, what goes around comes around; it’s sure to become fashionable again.
12. Which of the following is true according to the first three paragraphs?
A. Tea made its way to England in the early years of the 16th century.
B. The UK usually serves black tea with lemon.
C. Tea from China was being sold more widely in England now.
D. UK citizens take pride in being “tea people”.
.13. What can we infer from the fourth paragraph?
A. Tea sales fell by 6% in 2014 alone.
B. Since 2002 the sales of tea has been on the decrease.
C. In 2013, the money spent on tea was £3 billion.
D Most restaurant like selling tea than coffee.
14. What does the underlined sentence mean in the last paragraph?
A. It can never succeed again B. The tea can become popular again.
C. Coffee is more popular than tea D. The tea is becoming less popular.
15. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To introduce tea in the UK. B. To show the author’s preference for tea.
C. To introduce the functions of tea. D. To compare tea in China and UK.

Kent was a manager of a furniture agency. His establishment nearly went bankrupt (倒闭)because of the
wrong decision he had made. He was so regretful and depressed that he planned to drive to a bar alone to release his
emotions.
It was near midnight in an extremely cold winter, and the temperature was minus 9 degrees centigrade. There
were few people in the street. Suddenly, a figure of an old madam entered his line of sight. She was standing sideways
near a platform, dressed in a plain coat, dragging a suitcase, and holding a plastic bag in the other hand. The slight old
lady was seemingly more than 80. She was trembling in cutting wind. Now she kept motioning Kent for a ride.
Although Kent was somewhat angry about the old madam's disturbing,he wouldn't like to leave her in the cold
night. He noticed she coughed violently and thought that she might be ill and really needed help. So he braked near
her.
The madam said, "Would you please take me for a ride? I can offer double fare. . . " Kent interrupted her, "I will
charge you nothing! Come on!" The madam pointed to her luggage and said, "Could you put my suitcase into the
car?" Kent stepped out and put it in the trunk.
Kent proceeded to drive. He stopped at a petrol station where he wanted to purchase gallons of gasoline (汽油).
During the interval they waited in a queue,the madam began her narration, "Could you please send me to the
charity house in the suburbs? I want to send them something. I had been given help there 50 years ago. The president
and workers were all good guys." She burst into tears,"Now they've all passed away. The life was tough at that
time, but we all loved and cared about each other. I've held a desire to be back there again for long." Kent realized the
madam was recalling a section of the good missing days. A complicated feeling surrounded him, and he decided to
cancel his plan and stay with the old madam.
Paragraph 1 :
After a two-hour drive,they came to the gate of their destination.
