Dad, Mom, Harry and I moved to Tianjin on 25 August. Were not very far from Beijing. Two days ago, we celebrated
9、my 16th birthday. It was great celebrating in China; the only thing that was strange was the cakehere theyre not as sweet as the ones in New York. On Monday school startsI wonder what it will be like.Monday, 1 September On my first day I was looking around for a locker to put my books in. However, h
10、ere all the students keep all of their books at their desks. We stay in the same classroom because apparently we dont have to go from class to classteachers come to us!Today we selected teacher assistants for each subject. Their duties are to collect homework, make announcements, and do other things
11、 for the teachers and the students. Its kind of a big deal here! Since I am from the US, I was asked to be the English assistant. I felt so proud but quite nervous at the same time because I wasnt sure what I had to do, but I accepted the job anyway.Friday, 3 October Boy, what a week! Now we have ni
12、ne classes every day, including the morning class, a combination of our American schools “Homeroom” and “Study Hall”. I think Chinese students work too much! I have to do my homework when I get back home. I dont even have time to watch TV or surf the Internet like before. I sometimes miss New York a
13、nd my school because we didnt have to study so much. We had more time to hang out with our classmates and neighbors; here, besides their usual classes, students take part in weekend classes in subjects such as English, Chinese and math.I get a lot of attention, being from another country. Everyone w

According to the passage, which of the following is NOT the teacher assistants duty?A. Collecting homework. B. Making announcements.C. Helping teachers with small errand
16、s (差事) . D.Teaching classmates.23. Where is this passage most probably from?A. A storybook. B. A guide book. C. A diary. D. A magazine.BJane Austen(1775-1817),an English novelist, started writing young and completed six novels in her life. Today Austens books are more popular than ever. In the last
17、10 years, five of her six novels have been made into Hollywood films, while her books continue to be best-sellers.Richard Jenkyns, a professor of English at Oxford University, says that her novels are about marriage, friendships and the family, which are still with us today. “The stories are timeles
18、s,”Jenkyns said.Pride and Prejudice(偏见)(1813) is Austens most famous work. It is a love story about Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy. At first, these two dislike each other. Elizabeth is pretty ,smart and lively. She is proud because Darcy doesnt know about her family. Mr. Darcy is handsome, rich and
19、has a better family background. So, he is proud as well. At the same time, Darcy holds a prejudice against the Bennet family. He has no understanding of why the family, especially its mother and daughters should try so hard to find wealthy and powerful husbands. He thinks they are vulgar. Anyway, El
20、izabeth and Darcy finally fall in love and become a romantic couple but their families dont want them to.In Pride and Prejudice, some of the main things that Jane Austen wants to teach people are as follows. Opposites can attract each other. Lovers should not only make each other feel relaxed or com
21、fortable, but also educate and improve each other.Austen is often called the greatest romantic writer,so it is surprising she remained unmarried. “Maybe she was too romantic, waiting for the perfect man,” Jenkyns says.24From Paragraph 1and Paragraph 2,we can know .AJane Austen passed away in her fif
22、tiesBAustens works remain popular todayCall of Austens works have been made into Hollywood films.DAustens works are mostly about war and the family.25Which of the following sentences is True?AElizabeth and Darcy fall in love at first sight.BElizabeth has a better family background than Darcy.CDarcy

24、rks go beyond her timesDAusten married a perfect man at lastCWas your school noisy or peaceful? It might not seem important, but a growing body of research suggests that sounds can have an impact on learning, performance and creativity.Whether background sounds are beneficial or not seems to depend
25、on what kind of noise it is-and the volume. In a series of studies published last year, Ravi Mehta from the College of Business at Illinois and his colleagues tested peoples creativity while exposed to a soundtrack made up of background noises-such as coffee-shop chatter and construction-site drilli
26、ng-at different volumes. They found that people were more creative when the background noises were played at a medium level than when volume was low. Loud background noise, however, damaged their creativity.This makes sense for a couple of reasons, says psychologist Dr Nick Perham, at Cardiff Metrop
27、olitan University in the UK, who studies the effect of sounds on learning but was not involved in the study. Firstly, he says, sounds that are most disturbing tend to be very variable. A general hum(嗡嗡声) in the background suggests a steady- -state sound with not much variation. “So theres not much t
28、here to capture your attention-nothing disturbing the subjects, he says. At the same time, the background noise might cause the subjects to be in a slightly heightened state of arousal(觉醒), says Perham. Medium arousal is best for good performance. So it might be that a general hum in the background
29、gives an ideal level of arousal. With that in mind, Perham suggests there may be some benefits to playing music or other sounds in an art class or other situations where creativity is key.Many teachers all over the world already play music to students in class. Many are inspired by the belief that h
30、earing music can improve IQ in tasks, the so-called Mozart effect. While the evidence actually suggests its a stretch to say classical music improves brainpower, researchers do think pleasant sounds before a task can sometimes lift your mood and help you perform well,says Perham, who has done his ow
31、n studies on the phenomenon. The key appears to be that you enjoy what youre hearing. “If you like the music or you like the sound- even listening to a Stephen King novel-then you did better. It didnt matter about the music,”he says.28. Which of the following is true according to the studies by Ravi
32、 Mehta and Nick Perham?A. Its better not to expose people to any background noise while at workB. Construction-site drilling should be forbidden where there is a schoolC. Noises will harm peoples health however low their volumes areD. A certain level of noise may do good to peoples creativity29. Acc
33、ording to Dr Nick Perham, it can be inferred that in an art class, teachers had betterA. keep the classroom quietB. play music at a steady and medium volumeC. broadcast classical musicD. vary the volume of the music constantly30. In the last paragraph, the underlined partits a stretchis used toA. pr
34、ove the usefulness of pleasing soundsB. confirm the belief of Mozart effectC. challenge the importance of soft musicD. cast doubt on the power of music in raising IQ31. Which of the following might be the best title for this passage?A. Learning Power: Noise and Music Work B. Noise Meeting Music: A B
35、lessing.C. Noise or Music: Creativity in DangerD. Brainpower: More Music and Less NoiseDI will never forget the tenth summer of childhood with my grandfather in western Norway at the mountain farm where my mother was born. As a boy ,I always thought people simply bought whatever they need. Whether G
36、randfather know this, I dont know. One day he said, ”Come, I have something for you.”I followed him to a workroom. “You should have a toy boat. You can sail it at Storvassdal.” He said. Great, I thought,looking around for the boat. But there was none.Grandfather pointed to a block of wood. “The boat
37、 is in there,” he said. Then he handed me some tools and showed me how to use them properly. “Itll be a fine boat,and youll make it with your own hands,” he said, “No one can give you what you do for yourself.” The words rang in my head as I worked.

Feeling sad, I hid my boat under a big rock at Storvassdal.I said good-bye to Grandfather, not knowing I would never see him again.In
39、1964, I went to Storvassdal with my parents and my wife and children. To my surprise,for 34 years my treasure stayed here,waiting for my return. I felt we three were together again although my grandfather had died 22 years before.I carved”1930”and”1964” on its side and put it back.I returned to the
