11、e learning (see the table below). Evaluation(评价)Students are placed into classes according to their current language skills.The majority of them take an online language test before starting their programme.However,if this is not available，students sit the exam on the first Monday of their course.Lea

Packed lunch BLots of people take it for granted that black is a color of bad things while white should always mean
17、something good. This may be because, in their opinion, black is related to darkness and white to purity(纯洁).However, that is not always the case. Did you know that the same one color may mean differently in different places of the world?In the English-speaking world, black is the color of mourning.
18、People wear black clothes at the funeral. Red is concerned with danger or blood. Yellow is the word for fear. If you are afraid，you are yellow. Yet none of these sayings is true outside the English speaking world. In China and Korea, white is the color of mourning. In Russia, China and some other co
19、untries, red stands for beauty, life and excellence. In Italy and Germany，you are yellow with anger，not with fear.Even within the English speaking area, it is not difficult to find color with different meanings. A redcap in the United States is a porter in a railway station. In Britain，however，a red
20、cap is a military policeman. Both names are logical because both men wear red caps. Similarly，the British term for an American white collar worker is sometimes called a blackcoated worker.One does not have to cross an area to find color differences. Would you rather be red blooded or blue blooded? I
21、f we go back to the origin, we find that both terms are logical as both names suggest. The expression “blue blood” comes from Spain，where some noble families proudly said that they had “blue blood”But then why “blue” blood? Because they were fair skinned, and it is only natural that their blood vess
22、els stood out appearing blue.24.Yellow is concerned with anger in _. A. India B. Britain C. China D. Italy25.The two meanings of the term redcap form a difference in _.

The Origin of Blue BloodB. Colors That Carry Bad MeaningsC. The Meanings Concerned with Certain ColorsD. The Deve
24、lopment of the Symbolic Use of Color C As a child, I often dreamed of the time when I could leave home and escape to the city. We lived on a farm and，in winter especially，we were quite cut off from the outside world. As soon as I left school, I packed my bags and moved to the capital. However，I soon
25、 discovered that city life has its problems, too.One big disadvantage is money. It costs so much to go out，not to mention basics like food and housing. Another disadvantage is pollution. I suffer from asthma(哮喘),and at times the air is so bad that I am afraid to go outside. Then there is the problem
26、 of traveling round. Although I have a car, I seldom use it because of the traffic jams. One choice is to go by bicycle, but that can be quite dangerous.Of course there are advantages. First，there is so much to do in the city，whatever your tastes in culture or entertainment. Besides, there are wonde
27、rful jobs and greater chances of moving to a more important job or position. Finally, if you like shopping, the variety of goods is very surprisingand，what is more，shops are often only a short walk away.Is life better then, in the city? Perhaps it is，when you are in your teens or twenties. However，a
28、s you get older，and especially if you have small children，the peace of the countryside may seem preferable. I certainly hope to move back there soon.28.What was the writer always thinking about when he was a child? _.A. Leaving home for the city B. Moving to the countrysideC. Staying on the farm D.
29、Running away from the school29.Which of the following is TRUE about the writer? _A. He is very old now. B. He prefers driving a car.C. He is in good health D. He lives in the city now.30.In the passage, the writer tries to _.A. persuade readers to live in the cityB. describe his life in the countrys
30、ideC. show an interest in the outside worldD. express his opinions about way of life31.How is the passage mainly developed? A. By inferring. B. By comparing.C. By listing examples D. By giving explanations.DWhy should mankind explore space? Why should money, time and effort be spent exploring and re
31、searching something with so few apparent benefits? Why should resources be spent on space rather than on conditions and people on Earth? These are questions that, understandably, are very often askedPerhaps the best answer lies in our genetic makeup（基因构成）as human beingsWhat drove our ancestors to mo
32、ve from the trees into the plains, and on into all possible areas and environments? The wider the spread of a species, the better its chance of survival Perhaps the best reason for exploring space is this genetic tendency to expand wherever possibleNearly every successful civilization has explored,
33、because by doing so, any dangers in surrounding areas can be identified and prepared for. Without knowledge, we may be completely destroyed by the danger. With knowledge, we can lessen its effectsExploration also allows minerals and other potential（潜在的）resources to be foundEven if we have no immedia
34、te need of them, they will perhaps be useful later Resources may be more than physical possessionsKnowledge or techniques have been acquired through explorationThe techniques may have medical applications which can improve the length or quality of our lives. We have already benefited from other spin

36、rn, the exploration of space allows creative, brave and intelligent members of our species to focus on what may serve to save us. While space may hold many wonders and explanations of how the universe was formed or how it works, it also holds dangers. The danger exists, but knowledge can help human
37、being to survive. Without the ability to reach out across space, the chance to save ourselves might not existWhile Earth is the only planet known to support life, surely the adaptive ability of humans would allow us to live on other planets. It is true that the lifestyle would be different, but huma

42、te you. Your body needs time to digest(消化) while you are still awake.37 Something that makes me very angry is when I hear on TV that people just need 30minute exercise a week. Thats funny. Every person should be getting 30minute exercise daily along with a healthy diet. When you do exercise，you use
43、energy that your body has to recover from. 38 The harder you push your body, the faster it falls to sleep and the better it sleeps.Turn the TV off. There are a few shows I watch still，but they will never get in my way of(妨碍) sleep. The bedroom is only for sleeping and a place of rest. 39.40 A questi
44、on to ask yourself: If I didnt have an alarm, what time would I get up? If that time is the time you need to get up, you should probably throw away the alarm. If the time you actually get up is much later than the time you do get up，make great changes to your way of life and the time you go to sleep
45、. No one should need an alarm.AExercise for at least 30 minutes every day.BEat right and no meals within 4 hours of rest.CThrow away the alarm.DSleep is one of the most important things in our lives.EYour body recovers when you are sleeping.FTry to get up as early as you can.GTake the TV out of your
