A
Below is a housing guide for students going to London.
University accommodation (住所)offices
Many university accommodation offices have their own list of registered landlords (房东). Others also
provide information on accommodation agencies and other housing organizations. The advantage of
using your university accommodation office is that you can get some support if you have 'a problem.
The disadvantage is that they are unlikely to have enough registered landlords to house all their
students.
Property papers: Loot and Renting
Loot is an important source (来源) of information about private housing for co-renters. The offers are
from private landlords, agencies and individuals looking for other co-renters. They also have a
website: www. loot. com. The advantage of using Loot is that there are some excellent bargains. The
disadvantage is that there is no quality control over the offers.
Renting is another useful paper. The offers in this paper are mainly from accommodation agencies.
Their website is at www. Renting.co. uk.
Accommodation agencies
The majority of rented accommodation in London is probably advertised through accommodation
agencies. The advantage of using accommodation agencies is that you will have access to a large
number of accommodations. A good agent will listen to your requirements and can save you time in
looking for the right accommodation. The disadvantage is that they will make a range of charges to
potential renters.
Noticeboards
Around the universities you will find a number of noticeboards where offers of accommodation will
be posted. These will either be from landlords or from students. Some universities will also have
online noticeboards where students can advertise to other students. Advertisements from students
can be an excellent way to find
accommodation. However, advertisements from landlords can be problematic.
Word of mouth Some of the best housing in London is never advertised but is passed on from one group of students to
another by word of mouth. It might be that you can find out about good offers from final year students.
However, don't suppose that just because you have found out about housing from a friend it is
necessarily, going to be better than that found through any other source.
Family
Faced with the very high rents charged in London, some students and their parents will consider
buying as an alternative. In some cases this might be a good choice.
36. What is the advantage of using Loot?
A. It has more offers from accommodation agencies than Renting.
B. It gives you personal information about other co-renters.
C. Their website is designed mainly for students.
D. There are some good bargains.
37. A good agent can help you .
A. know more people
B. find cheap accommodation
C. get the right accommodation quickly
D. get free information about most accommodations
38. The information passed on by word of mouth is important because .
A. it is better than that found through any other source
B. it helps you find some of the best housing never advertised
C. the final year students always offer better information
D. the landlords have little valuable information
39. For students going to London for the first time, which of the following provides the most reliable
information?
A. University accommodation offices.
B. Loot and Renting.
C. Noticeboards.
D. Family.
【答案】36. D 37. C 38. B 39. A
【解析】这是一篇说明文。本文作者就去伦敦的学生如何选择和寻找房子这一问题,给出了一些指导
建议。
【36 题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的 The advantage of using Loot is that there are some excellent bargains.
可知,使用 Loot 的好处就是有一些特价的房子,故选 D 项。
【37 题详解】
细节理解题。根据 Accommodation agencies 中的“A good agent will listen to your requirements
and can save you time in looking for the right accommodation.”可知,好的中介会听取你的意见,
节省你寻找合适的住宿的时间,比较快的找到住宿,故选 C 项。
【38 题详解】
细节理解题。根据第六段的 Some of the best housing in London is never advertised but is passed
on from one group of students to another by word of mouth.It might be that you can find out
about good offers from final year students.可知,一些伦敦最好的房子从不做广告,而
是通过人们口口相传,所以口口相传的信息很重要因为它可能会帮助你找到最好的房子,故
选 B 项。
【39 题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段 University accommodation offices 中的 The advantage of using your
university accommodation office is that you can get some support if you have a problem.可知,大学
提供的住宿如果有问题可以得到帮助,因此它是比较有保障的住宿,因此第一次去伦敦的学
生还是选择这种住宿,故选 A 项。
B
It had been some time since Jack had seen the old man. College, career, and life itself got in the
way. In fact, Jack moved clear across the country in pursuit of his dreams. There, in the rush of his
busy life, Jack had little time to think about the past and often no time to spend with his wife and son.
He was working on his future, and nothing could stop him.
Over the phone, his mother told him, “Mr. Belser died last night. The funeral is Wednesday.”
Memories flashed through his mind like an old newsreel as he sat quietly remembering his childhood
days.
“Jack, did you hear me?”
“Oh, sorry, Mom. Yes, I heard you. It’s been so long since I thought of him. I’m sorry, but I honestly thought he died years ago,” Jack said.
“Well, he didn’t forget you. Every time I saw him he’d ask how you were doing. He’d reminisce
about the many days you spent over ‘his side of the fence’ as he put it,” Mom told him.
“I loved that old house he lived in,” Jack said.
“You know, Jack, after your father died, Mr. Belser stepped in to make sure you had a man’s
influence in your life,” she said.
“He’s the one who taught me carpentry. I wouldn’t be in this business if it weren’t for him. He
spent a lot of time teaching me things he thought were important… Mom, I’ll be there for the funeral,”
Jack said.
Busy as he was, he kept his word. Jack caught the next flight to his hometown. Mr. Belser’s
funeral was small and uneventful. He had no children of his own, and most of his relatives had passed
away.
The night before he had to return home, Jack and his Mom stopped by to see the old house next
door one more time, which was exactly as he remembered. Every step held memories. Every picture,
every piece of furniture… Jack stopped suddenly.
“What’s wrong, Jack?” his Mom asked. “The box is gone,” he said.
“What box?” Mom asked.
“There was a small gold box that he kept locked on top of his desk. I must have asked him a
thousand times what was inside. All he’d ever tell me was ‘the thing I value most’,” Jack said.
It was gone. Everything about the house was exactly how Jack remembered it, except for the box.
He figured someone from the Belser family had taken it.
“Now, I’ll never know what was so valuable to him,” Jack said sadly.
Returning to his office the next day, he found a package on his desk. The return address caught
his attention.
“Mr. Harold Belser” it read. Jack tore open the package. There inside was the gold box and an
envelope. Jack’s hands shook as he read the note inside.
“Upon my death, please forward this box and its contents to Jack Bennett. It’s the thing I valued
most in my life.” A small key was taped to the letter. His heart racing, and tears filling his eyes, Jack
carefully unlocked the box. There inside he found a beautiful gold pocket watch. Running his fingers
slowly over the fine cover, he opened it.Inside he found these words carved: “Jack, thanks for your time! Harold Belser.” “Oh, My God!
This is the thing he valued most…”
Jack held the watch for a few minutes, then called his assistant and cleared his appointments for
the next two days. “Why?” his assistant asked.
“I need some time to spend with my son,” he said.
40. Why did Jack think Mr. Belser died years ago?
A. College and career prevented him from remembering Mr. Bleser.
B. Jack was too busy with his business and family to think about Mr. Belser.
C. Jack was too busy realizing his dreams to think about Mr. Belser.
D. His present busy life washed away his childhood memories.
41. Jack’s mother told him on the phone about Mr. Belser EXCEPT that ______.
A. Mr. Belser often asked how Jack was doing
B. Mr. Belser’s funeral would take place on Wednesday
C. Mr. Belser had asked for Jack’s mailing address
D. Mr. Belser had pleasant memories of their time together
42. What does the underlined word “reminisce” mean in paragraph 5?
A. recover B. reveal
C. recommend D. recall
43. Why did Belser send Jack his gold watch?
A. Because he had no children or relatives.
B. Because he thought he had to keep his word.
C. Because he was grateful for Jack’s time with him.
D. Because Jack had always wanted it during his childhood.
44. Jack said he needed some time to spend with his son because ______.
A. he came to realize the importance of the time with his family
B. he had promised to spare more time to stay with his son
C. he had missed his son and his family for days
D. he was very tired of his work and wanted to have a good rest.

A. The Good Old Times B. What He Valued MostC. An Old Gold Watch D. The Lost Childhood Days

【解析】
这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了工作狂 Jack 在参加老邻居葬礼之后逐渐意识到亲情的重要性。
【40 题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中 There, in the rush of his busy life, Jack had little time to think about the
past and often no time to spend with his wife and son. He was working on his future, and nothing
could stop him.可知,Jack 非常的忙于事业和前途,没有时间陪伴家人,没有时间回忆过去,
所以在他印象中 Mr. Belser 仿佛早就去世了,故选 C。
【41 题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中 The funeral is Wednesday 可知,葬礼在周三举行,故排除 B;根据
第五段中 Every time I saw him he’d ask how you were doing. He’d reminisce about the many days
you spent over ‘his side of the fence’ as he put it,的内容可以排除 A,D 选项;故选 C。
【42 题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第五段中“Well, he didn’t forget you. Every time I saw him he’d ask how you were
doing. He’d reminisce about the many days you spent over ‘his side of the fence’ as he put it,”可知,
Harold 从来没有忘记 Jack,每次见到 Jack 的妈妈都要询问 Jack 的近况,他会回忆以前在他的
庭院里和 Jack 一起渡过的许多日子,故此处 reminsice 为回忆的意思,故选 D。
【43 题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第三段中 Inside he found these words carved: “Jack, thanks for your time!
Harold Belser.” “Oh, My God! This is the thing he valued most…”可知,Harold 感谢 Jack 陪伴他的

People who have got rhythm might have an advantage when it comes to language and reading
skills. A new study shows the brains of people who can move to a musical beat react to speech on a
more consistent basis than those who can't. Researchers also find that musical training can sharpen the
brain’s response to language.
The researchers say their discovery provides the first biological link between the ability to keep
a beat and how the brain responds to speech, something that can have important value for reading
skills. To gather materials for their research, the team got more than 100 teenagers who lived in
Chicago, Illinois. The teens were given two tests. First, they were instructed to listen to and tap their
fingers along to the beat. The researchers calculated low accurately their young volunteers were able
to tap along to the musical timekeeper. Second, the teen subjects were linked to an EEG device, which
measures electrical activity in the brain. The EEG device was focused on an area of the brain that not
only processes sound, but is also connected to parts of the brain responsible for motor-movement. The
researchers recorded the brainwaves as their teen subjects listened to the synthesized speech sound,
which was repeated irregularly for half an hour. The researchers were able to find out how the nerve
cells in that particular region of the brain responded every time the synthesized sound was
played.“Across this population of adolescents, the more accurate they were at tapping along to the
beat, the more consistent their brains' response to the letter unit was,” said Nina Kraus.
While past studies have showed the links between reading skills and a person’s ability to keep a
beat, the researchers said their new findings show the hearing system is what provides a common basis
for those links. “Rhythm is naturally a part of music and language.” Nina said.
46. According to the first paragraph, what can get the brain’s reaction to language more effectively?
A. Rhythm. B. Reading skills.
C. Language. D. Musical training.
47. What can we lean about “ the first biological link” mentioned in Paragraph 2?
A. It shows how the brain works.
B. It is very important for reading ability.
C. It shows how the brain reacts to speech.
D. It is helpful to researchers' findings.48. The underlined word“subjects”in Paragraph 2 probably means “______”.
A. persons or animals that are studied in an experiment or a research
B. areas of knowledge studied in a school, college, and so on
C. things that are being discussed in a conversation or a book
D. persons or things that are the main features of works of art
49. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that ______.
A. reading skills may make language learners keep a beat
B. the hearing system may be useless while a person is learning to read
C. the hearing system may separate sound from meaning while a person is reading
D. the hearing system may be used while a person is reading or taking musical training
50. What can we conclude from this passage?
A. Moving to a musical beat is more popular.
B. Experts are expanding their studies on rhythm.
C. Rhythm might help us improve our reading skills.
D. Experts find the links between the hearing system and reading.

Americans are proud of their variety and individuality, yet they love and respect few things more
than a uniform, whether it is the uniform of an elevator operator or the uniform of a five-star general.
Why are uniforms so popular in the United States?
Among the arguments for uniforms, one of the first is that in the eyes of most people they look
more professional than civilian( 百姓的) clothes. People have become conditioned to ( 习惯于)
expect superior quality from a man who wears a uniform. The television repairman who wears
uniform tends to inspire more trust than one who appears in civilian clothes. Faith in the skill of a
garage mechanic is increased by a uniform. What easier way is there for a nurse a policeman, a barber,
or a waiter to lose professional identity than to step out of uniform?
Uniforms also have many practical benefits. They save on other clothes. They save on laundry
bills. They are tax-deductible (可减税的) . They are often more comfortable and more durable than
civilian clothes.
Primary among the arguments against uniforms is their lack of variety and the consequent loss of
individuality experienced by people who must wear them. Though there are many types of uniforms,
the wearer of any particular type is generally stuck with it, without change, until retirement. When
people look alike, they tend to think, speak, and act similarly, on the job at least.
Uniforms also give rise to some practical problems. Though they are long-lasting , often their
initial expense is greater than the cost of civilian clothes. Some uniforms are also expensive to maintain, requiring professional dry cleaning rather than the home laundering possible with many
types of civilian clothes.
51. It is surprising that Americans who worship variety and individuality ______.
A. still judge a man by his clothes
B. enjoy having a professional identity
C. hold the uniform in such high regard
D. will respect an elevator operator as much as a general in uniform
52. People are accustomed to think that a man in uniform ______.
A. suggests quality work
B. appears to be more practical
C. discards (丢弃;抛弃)his social identity
D. looks superior to a person in civilian clothes
53. The chief function of a uniform is to ______.
A. provide practical benefits to the wearer.
B. provide the wearer with a professional identity
C. inspire the wearer’s confidence in himself
D. make the wearer catch the public eye
54. According to the passage, people wearing uniforms ______.
A. are usually helpful
B. have little or no individual freedom
C. enjoy greater popularity
D. tend to lose their individuality
55. The best title for this passage would be ______.
A. Uniforms and Society
B. The Importance of Wearing a Uniform
C. Advantages and Disadvantages of Uniforms
D. Practical Benefits of Wearing a Uniform
【答案】51. C 52. A 53. B 54. D 55. C

阅读下面短文,并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
Cao Yuan proved he was special at age 14 when he was enrolled in the University of Science and Technology of China’s School of the Gifted Young, which is a special school to nurture
teenagers into world-class talents.
But Cao himself didn’t think he was special. He often stressed that he was just an ordinary kid
who loved reading about science and doing experiments.
But there is other evidence that Cao is a bit different. On Dec 19,the now 22-year-old doctoral
candidate in physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology(MIT),US,was named one of the
10 people who mattered this year by the journal Nature. It was for discovering a“magic angle”in
graphene(石墨烯)sheets that he has opened up a new field of superconductor physics(超导体物
理学).
Graphene, first discovered in 2004, is a material made of a single layer of carbon atoms. It’s the
thinnest and strongest material in the world. Cao’s work shows that when two layers of graphene are
cooled to 1.7 C above absolute zero(-273 C)and rotated(旋转) to a “magic angle”of 1.1
degrees,the upper layer of graphene exhibits nonconducting behaviors.
However, Cao found that these electrons(电子) could flow in the graphene sandwich freely — as
if they were traveling through a superconductor —when small amounts of electrons were added to the
structure.
The discovery is exciting. “One can imagine making a superconducting transistor out of
graphene, which you can switch on and off , from superconducting to insulating” , Pablo
Jarillo-Herrero,Cao’s professor at MIT,told Science Daily.
But why was Cao able to make the discovery? Both his high school physics teacher Huang
Jiatang and Jarillo-Herrero attribute it to Cao’s capacity for independent learning and interest in doing
experiments.
Huang said that he remembered that as a young kid Cao had a strong ability to study on his own,
a love for hands-on experiments and was unafraid to challenge teachers and ask difficult questions.
Cao seems to be a highly inquisitive young man. Jarillo-Herrero told Nature that Cao’s hobbies
include photographing the night sky using homemade cameras. “Every time I go in Cao's office, it’s a
huge mess, with computers taken apart and pieces of telescope all over his desk,” he said.
But even with such convincing proof, Cao still sees himself as an ordinary college student. “After
all, we are all humans, with flaws and emotions,” he said.
56. Why was Cao Yuan listed Person of the Year by the journal Nature? (within 20 words)57. Is graphene a new metal? What is it? (within 15 words)
58. What are the factors that lead to Cao’s achievement? List two of them. (within 15 words)
59. What does the underlined word “inquisitive” mean? (within 2 words)
60. What’s the title of the article? (within 10 words)
【答案】56. Because he discovered a“magic angle”in graphene sheets that he has opened up a new
field of superconductor physics.
57. No,it isn’t. It is a material made of a single layer of carbon atoms.
58. Independent learning and interest in doing experiments./A love for hands-on experiments and was
unafraid to challenge teachers./He loves reading about science and doing experiments.
59. Curious
60. An Ordinary Young Man With Special Capacity/Cao Yuan: Ordinary or Special?
【解析】
这是一篇人物介绍。介绍了天才少年曹原的故事。

that he has opened up a new field of superconductor physics(超导体物理学).可知,曹原被评为年
度人物是因为他发现了石墨烯中的“魔角”,开启了超导体物理学的新领域。故答案为Because
he discovered a“magic angle”in graphene sheets that he has opened up a new field of superconductor
physics.
【57 题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中 Graphene, first discovered in 2004, is a material made of a single layer
of carbon atoms.可知,石墨烯不是新材料,而是一种由单层碳原子构成的材料。故答案为 No,it
isn’t. It is a material made of a single layer of carbon atoms.
【58 题详解】
细节理解题。根据第七段中 Both his high school physics teacher Huang Jiatang and Jarillo-Herrero
attribute it to Cao’s capacity for independent learning and interest in doing experiments.可知,曹原有
超凡的独立学习的能力和做实验的浓厚兴趣,故答案为 Independent learning and interest in
doing experiments./A love for hands-on experiments and was unafraid to challenge teachers./He loves
reading about science and doing experiments.
【59 题详解】词义猜测题。根据 Cao seems to be a highly inquisitive young man. Jarillo-Herrero told Nature that
Cao’s hobbies include photographing the night sky using homemade cameras.可知,曹原的兴趣很广
泛,包括用自己做的照相机拍摄夜空,由此推断其是个好奇的人。故答案为 Curious。
【60 题详解】
最佳标题题。纵观全文,文章主要讲述了天才少年曹原的种种天赋和成就,但其本人认为自
己是很普通的人。故答案为 An Ordinary Young Man With Special Capacity/Cao Yuan: Ordinary
or Special?
