It was set in an English village deep
23、in the countryside, quite different from my home in Sweden. One of my fellow volunteers, a girl from Tanzania, seemed a little unhappy, so I asked what the problem was. She told me she had a friend back home who had financial difficulties and maybe it was impossible for her to complete her universit
24、y courses. So this friend of mine had sent all her money to Tanzania to support her friend! This meant that she didnt have much food to eat and no money to go anywhere outside the village. I was so touched and I felt I had to do something. So, during my next trip to one of the nearby towns I walked
25、into a shop. I didnt have much money left myself but I thought Id buy her an extra box of chocolate we both liked and some rice. I started talking to the woman（also a volunteer）working in the shop and eventually told her about my friend. The woman looked at me, amazed. “Does she eat pasta?” she aske
26、d. “Yes,” I replied. She immediately started loading a bag with pasta, cookies, and other things until the bag was full. “Give her this for me. Its my treat! I couldnt believe it but accepted with happiness. As I left the shop to go home with my unexpected bag of food, I asked the woman her name. “J
27、ust Gloria,” she said.Imagine my friends face when I arranged the gifts on my kitchen table and fetched her from her room to see! I had never seen her so happy! A few weeks later she found Gloria in the shop and thanked her in person. These two extraordinary women really showed me what true kindness
28、 and compassion（同情）are, and the impression will stay with me for the rest of my life! 51. The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 1 probably refers to . A. the shop B. the writers home C. the residential home D. a year of voluntary service 52. Why did the girl from Tanzania seem a little unhappy? A. B
29、ecause she had to stop her voluntary work. B. Because she had no money to buy food or other things. C. Because she had spent all her money on food and clothes. D. Because her friend in Tanzania maybe had to quit school for lack of money. 53. Why did the writer help the girl from Tanzania? A. Because
30、 the writer was a volunteer. B. Because they lived in the same room. C. Because the writer was moved by her kind act. D. Because the writer didnt wish she went hungry. 54. From the text, we know that . A. the writer was from England B. the writer was a university student from Tanzania C. Gloria was
31、from Sweden and was very kind to the writer D. the writer volunteered to help people with learning disabilitiesB6-Day Trek（艰苦跋涉）in the Highland National ParksDestinations: SaigonCat Tien National ParkBuon Ma ThuotLak LakeYokDon National ParkEstimated trekking time: Average 4-5 hoursdaySummary: This
32、trip is ideal for those who love trekking in natural forests. From the southern part of Vietnam up to the central highlands, you will cross through two national parks. There will be opportunities to see wildlife and challenge yourself physically at a moderate（中等的）level. Indulge yourself in the beaut

During the tour, visitors will trek through national parks. A. 2 B. 3 C. 4 D. 5 56. In the forest, tourists will be able to . A. ride
36、elephants B. have barbeques with natives C. play with wild animals D. race in canoes 57. Visitors may have to pay extra fees for .

37、ildlifeC. who enjoy country life D. interested in hiking in forestsCAs the summer time approaches, more and more commercials and advertisements can be seen on the mass media encouraging students to join English study tours abroad. The purpose of these tours is to provide students with an opportunity
38、 to learn English in a native speaking environment and use English in real situations. Parents always believe that their children will automatically speak good English after attending these study tours. However, for me, as an English major and former participant of many English study tours, I find t
39、hese summer tours ineffective. Parents who send their children abroad for a summer to study English usually believe that the native speaking environment, including the courses, teachers, and host families, can help their children to learn English better. This might be true if the students really stu
40、dy hard and they really get an all-English environment. But the fact is that, most of the time, the tour part is more important than the study part. Although these tours take place in foreign countries, students are rarely exposed in an all-English environment. You will find that, in the morning cla
41、sses, Taiwanese students would like to stick together and speak Chinese with each other, even though there are some students from other countries. In the afternoon, the students go on a sightseeing excursion with their companions from Taiwan; they speak Chinese of course. In the evening, when studen
42、ts return to the host families, they would stay in their room and share the day with their roommate, another Taiwanese student. People who speak the same language with you is like a log（原木）in the ocean when living in a foreign country where you can not express yourself well, so that you would natura
43、lly stick with them. This is especially true with children. Another unrealistic expectation parents have for these tours is that the experience of living abroad can make their children more independent and mature. However, maturity does not come overnight. It takes time and practice. The most import
44、ant of all is that they need a good mentor（顾问）. None of these exist in the study tours. 59. Which of the following is the most important thing for children who study in an English environment according to the writer? A. Host families. B. Hard work. C. Courses. D. Teachers. 60. The underlined word “m
45、ature” in the last paragraph probably means . A. active B. free C. outgoing D. grown-up 61. Whats the authors attitude towards the English study tours abroad? A. Doubtful. B. Negative. C. Positive. D. Neutral. DWe can slow down aging. That is the message Dr. Shen Ziyin wants to give the world. And t
46、he Chinese doctor claims that he has found an answer to the problems of aging. His solution is a herbal medicine（草药）to slow the process of aging. Dr. Shen Ziyin has been trained in Western medicine. At the same time he studied traditional Chinese medicine. And, he has been working for the past forty
47、 years to put together the best of both and find a cure for aging. He has taken a hint from the ancient Chinese medicine system called “Shen”. According to Shen, it is the kidney（肾脏）which adjusts the functioning of the body as well as its aging process. It is responsible for the level of activity th
48、at the human bodies go through. Studies conducted by Dr. Shen show that herbal medicine based on the Shen system slows the aging process, says a report in the Telegraph newspaper. We notice that when people grow old, they have reduced strength, loss of hair, backache, weakness, wrinkles and so on. T
49、his happens because when people grow old, their bodies produce T-cells. These T-cells contain a particular substance called Fas. Fas makes the cells in the body destruct themselves. So the only way to slow down aging is to slow the production of T-cells in the body. This can happen if people eat low
50、 calorie food. Then the body is not active enough to produce extra T-cells. But, is going hungry all the time a good price to pay for staying young? This is where Dr. Shens herbal medicine comes in. But how effective it will be, only time can tell. 62. How did Dr. Shen find the solution to the probl
51、em of aging? A. By studying Western medicine. B. By learning traditional Chinese medicine. C. By combining both Western and Chinese medicine. D. By doing research on both Western and Chinese people. 63. What plays the most important role in keeping people young according to Shen? A. Medical treatmen
52、t. B. Positive life attitude. C. Peoples good kidney. D. Level of peoples activity. 64. The reason why people become old is that . A. their bodies produce T-cells B. they become weaker and weaker C. they have reduced strength, loss of hair D. their bodies are unable to fight diseases65. We can proba
53、bly learn from the passage that . A. producing more low calorie food allows people to keep young B. it remains unknown how effective Dr. Shens herbal medicine is C. people should try to quicken the production of T-cells in the body D. the more Chinese herbal medicine people drink, the better for hea
