Module 1 Unit 1 School life School life in the UK
Going to a British high school for one year was a very enjoyable and exciting experience for me. I was very happy with the school hours in Britain because school starts around 9 a.m. and ends about 3.30 p.m. This means I could get up an hour later than usual as schools in China begin before 8 a.m.
On the first day, all of the new students attended an assembly in the school hall. I sat next to a girl whose name was Diana. We soon became best friends. During the assembly, the headmaster told us about the rules of the school. He also told us that the best way to earn respect was to devote ourselves to study and achieve high grades. This sounded like my school in China.
I had many teachers in the past year. Mr. Heywood, my class teacher, was very helpful. My favourite teacher was Miss Burke---I loved the lessons that she gave in English Literature. In our class there were 28 students. This is about the average size for British schools. We had to move to different classrooms for different classes. We also had different students in some classes, so it was a struggle for me to remember all the faces and names.
I found that the homework was not as heavy as what I used to get in my old school. However, it was a bit challenging for me at first, because all the homework was in English. I felt lucky, as all my teachers gave me much encouragement and I enjoyed all my subjects: English, History, English Literature, Computer Science, Maths, Science, PE, Art, Cooking and French.
My English improved a lot，as I used English every day and spent an hour each day reading English books in the library. I usually went to the Computer Club during the lunch break, so I could send e-mails to my family and friends back home for free. I also had an extra French class on Tuesday evenings. Cooking was really fun as I learnt how to buy, prepare and cook food. At the end of term we held a class party and we all had to cook something. I was glad that all my classmates were fond of the cake that I made.
Students at that school have to study Maths, English and Science, but can stop studying some subjects if they do not like them, for example, History and French. They can choose other subjects like Art and Computer Science or Languages such as Spanish and German. In the Art class that I took, I made a small sculpture. Though it did not look very beautiful when it was finished, I still liked it very much.
I missed Chinese food a lot at lunch. British food is very different. British people like eating dessert at the end of their main meal. After lunch, we usually played on the school field. Sometimes I played football with the boys. Sometimes I just relaxed under a tree or sat on the grass.
I was very lucky to experience this different way of life. I look back on my time in the UK with satisfaction, and I really hope to go back and study in Manchester again.

Melissa Poe was 9 years old when she began a campaign for a cleaner environment by writing a letter to the then President Bush. Through her own efforts, her letter was reproduced on over 250 donated billboards across the country.
The response to her request for help was so huge that Poe established Kids For A Cleaner Environment (Kids F.A.C.E.) in 1989. There are now 300,000 members of Kids FACE worldwide and is the world's largest youth environmental organization.
Poe has also asked the National Park Service to carry out a \"Children's Forest\" project in every national park. In 1992, she was invited as one of only six children in the world to speak at the Earth Summit in Brazil as part of the Voices of the Future Program. In 1993, she was given a Caring Award for her efforts by the Caring Institute.
Since the organization started, Kids F.A.C.E. members have distributed and planted over 1 million trees! Ongoing tree-planting projects include Kid's Yards – the creation of backyard wildlife habitats (栖息地) and now Kids F.A.C.E. is involved in the exciting Earth Odyssey, which is a great way to start helping.
\"Starting the club turned out to be a way to help people get involved with the environment. Club members started doing things like recycling, picking up litter and planting trees as well as inviting other kids to join their club.\"
\"We try to tell kids that it's not OK to be lazy,\" she explains. \"You need to start being a responsible, environmentally friendly person now, right away, before you become a resource-sucking adult.\" 72. Kids F.A.C.E is _____.
A. a program to help students with writing B. a project of litter recycling
C. a campaign launched by President Bush D. a club of environmental protection 73. What can we learn about Poe?

Remembering names is an important social skill．Here are some ways to master it． Recite and repeat in conversation． When you hear a person‘s name，repeat it．Immediately say it to yourself several times without moving your lips．You could also repeat the name in a way that does not sound forced or artificial． Ask the other person to recite and repeat．
You can let other people help you remember their names．After you‘ve been introduced to someone，ask that person to spell the name and pronounce it correctly for you．Most people will be pleased by the effort you‘re making to learn their names． Admit you don’t know．
Admitting that you can‘t remember someone‘s name can actually make people relaxed．Most of them will feel sympathy if you say．―I‘m working to remember names better．Yours is right on the tip of my tongue．What is it again?‖ Use associations．
Link each person yon meet with one thing you find interesting or unusual．For example，you could make a mental note: \"Vicki Cheng -- tall, black hair.‖ To reinforce (加强) your associations, write them on a small card as soon as possible.
Limit the number of new names you learn at one time.
When meeting a group of people, concentrate on remembering just two or three names. Free yourself from remembering every one. Few of the people in mass introductions expect you to remember their names. Another way is to limit yourself to learning just first names. Last names can come later. Go early.
Consider going early to conferences, parties and classes. Sometimes just a few people show up on time. That's fewer names for you to remember. And as more people arrive, you can hear them being introduced to others -- an automatic review for you.
56. How will most people feel when you try hard to remember their names? A. They will be moved. B. They will be annoyed.
C. They will be delighted. D. They will be discouraged. 57. If you can't remember someone's name, you may __
A. tell him the truth B. tell him a white lie C. ask him for pity D. ask others to help you 58. When you meet a group of people, it is better to remember __
A. all their names B. a couple of names first C. just their last names D. as many names as possible 59. What does the text mainly tell us?
A. Tips on an important social skill. B. Importance of attending parties.
C. How to make use of associations. D. How to recite and repeat names.

Dad opens the curtains and light comes into the room. The room is in a mess, with pizza boxes on the floor and dirty dishes in the sink. In the corner, there is a garbage can around which are pieces of garbage and waste paper.
Mom and Dad both turn towards Daniel.
Dad: (sounding very angry) Listen to me, young man-----we left you in charge! We thought you could act like an adult, but look at the mess! I don‘t know why the house is so dirty… Mom: Daniel, we thought you were an adult, a person who could make good decisions… Dad: How can we trust you any more? We won‘t tolerate such behavior in our house!
Daniel: (shouting) Stop shouting at me. I‘m still a teenager! Why is everything always my fault? Daniel runs into his bedroom and shuts the door angrily. Mom and Dad look at each other as lights go out.

Daniel: No, don‘t tell them anything. Anyhow, they didn‘t trust me. They don‘t deserve an explanation. Let them think what they want.
Eric: But Daniel, if they knew that Spot was sick and we used the money to take him to the clinic…

It is often necessary to release a fish, that is, set it free after catching, because it is too small, or you just don‘t want to take it home to eat. In some cases, releasing fish is a good measure that will help keep fish variety and build their population size. The Department of Game and Inland Fisheries (DGIF) encourages fishermen who practice catch-and-release fishing to use a few simple skills when doing so. The advice provided below will help make sure that the fish you release will survive (存活) to bite again another day.
---- When catching a fish, play it quickly and keep the fish in the water as much as possible. Don‘t use a net in landing the fish and release it quickly to prevent it from dying.
---- Hold the fish gently. Do not put your fingers in its eyes. Don‘t wipe the scales (鱼鳞) off the fish because it might cause it to develop a disease and reduce its chance of survival
---- Remove your hook (鱼钩) quickly. If the hook is too deep or hooked in the stomach, cut the line and leave the hook or the hook left inside will cause no serious problem to the fish.
---- Take good care of the fish a moving it gently in water. Release the fish when it begins to struggle and is able to swim.
---- Do not hold fish in a bucket or some other containers and later decide to release it. If you are going to release a fish, do so right away.
With a little care and by following the suggestions given above, you can give the released fish a better chance of survival.
64. People sometimes set a fish free after catching it because they . A. don‘t want it to die B. hope it will grow quickly C. don‘t want to have it as food D. want to practice their fishing skills 65. Which of the following will probably make a fish ill?
A. Taking the hook off it. B. Removing its scales. C. Touching its eyes. D. Holding it in your hand. 66. A proper way to release a fish is to .
A. move it in water till it can swim B. take the hook out of its stomach C. keep it in a bucket for some time D. let it struggle a little in your hand 67. What is the purpose or the text?
A. To show how to enjoy fishing. B. To persuade people to fish less often. C. To encourage people to set fish free. D. To give advice on how to release fish.

When I was a child, I often dreamed of the time when I could leave home and escape to the city. We lived on a farm, in the winter especially we wear quite out off from the outside world. As soon as I left school, I packed my bags and moved to the capital. However, I soon discovered that my life has it 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 the air is so that I am afraid to go outside. Then there is the problem of traveling round. Although I have a car, I

seldom use it became 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 you tastes in culture or entertainment(娱乐活动). Besides, there are wonderful jobs and greater chances of moving to a more important job or position. Finally, if you like shopping, the variety of goods is very surprising --- and, 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(十几岁)or twenties. However, as 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.
56. What was the writer always thinking about when he was a child? A. Staying on the farm. B. Moving to the countryside. C. Leaving home for the city. D. Running away from the school. 57. Which of the following is true about the writer? A. He is very old now. B. He is in good health. C. He prefers driving a car. D. He lives in the city now. 58. In the passage, the writer tries to __________.
A. express his opinions about way of life B. describe his life in the countryside C. an interest in the outside world D. persuade the reader to live in the city 59. How is the passage mainly developed? A. By inferring. B. By comparing.
C. By listing examples. D. By giving explanations.

Adrian‘s ―Amazing Race‖ started early when his parents realized that he, as a baby, couldn‘t hear a thing, not even loud noises. In a special school for the hearing-impaired (听觉受损的)，he learned sign language and got to mix with other disabled children. However, the sight of all the disabled children communicating with one another upset his mother. She wanted him to lead a normal life. So after speaking to an advisor, she sent him to private classes where he learned to read lips and pronounce words.
Later on, Adrian‘s parents decided to send him to a regular school. But the headmaster tried to prevent them from doing so, saying regular school couldn‘t take care of a special needs students. His parents were determined to take the risk and push him hard to go through his work every day because they wanted to prove that, given the opportunity, he could do anything. Adrian made the grade and got accepted. It was a big challenge. The pace （节奏）was faster so he had to sit at the front of the class and really pay attention to the teacher, which wasn‘t always easy. But he stuck to it and did a lot of extra work after school.
The efforts made by Adrian and his parents paid off. Adrian graduated with good grades and got into a top high school. He also achieved a lot in life outside school. He developed a love for the outdoors and went to Nepal to climb mountains. He even entered the World Yacht Race 05/06--- being the first hearing-impaired Asian to do so.
But none of these achievements would have been possible without one of the most important lessons from his mother.‖ ―If you believe in yourself and work hard, you can achieve great results.‖ She often said.
41. How did Adrian communicate with other children in the special school?

Unit 3 Looking good, feeling good
Dying to be thin…….
Hi Zhou Ling,
How are you? I haven‘t heard from you for weeks. Is everything OK with you?
Do you still go to the gym every day? I used to go to the gym three times a week, but I don‘t work out any more. I know another way to stay slim. Looking good is important to women, isn‘t it? Most young women want a slim figure these days, especially here in Canada. I‘m trying to lose weight because I‘m so ashamed of my body. Since I‘m preparing to act in a new TV show, I‘m taking weight-loss pills called Fat-less, which are quite popular among young women here. I hope to lose at least 10kilograms. I take two pills a day and don‘t need to exercise.
The pills really work! I‘m becoming slimmer and slimmer. I‘ve lost 7 kilograms in the last two months. However, sometimes I don‘t feel so energetic. My mother, who you met last year, keeps telling me not to take them because they are dangerous. She says health is the most important thing, and I agree, but then I look so slim at the moment. Write soon! Love Amy
Dear Zhou Ling,
Things change so quickly! I‘m now in hospital recovering from liver failure. I regret taking those weight-loss pills. They contain a harmful chemical that caused my liver to fail. The pills were going to completely destroy my liver if I continued taking them. My mother insisted on sending me to the hospital, where I received good medical treatment.
It was a really painful experience, but I‘m feeling better now. I follow my doctor‘s advice and exercise for at least half an hour every day (but I seldom go to the gym!), and eat lots of fruit and vegetables. People should look after their bodies. My mother is right: don‘t damage your health for a slim and attractive figure. It isn‘t worth it. We shouldn‘t be ashamed of the way we look, should we?
I hope to hear from you soon. Love, Amy
Dear Amy,
My computer was broken so I couldn‘t read your two e-mails until today. I‘m so sorry to hear about you problems, but I‘m glad you‘re feeling better and are covering.
You‘re right. We shouldn‘t be embarrassed about our weight. I think you look great as you are, and you‘re a wonderful person. I know that the pressure to stay slim is a problem, especially for an

actress. However, your mother knows best: nothing is more important than health.
It is the same in China—many people, some of whom are not overweight at all, are always going on a diet or taking weight-loss pills, which are often dangerous. I hope they can learn from your story. Love, Zhou Ling

We already know the fastest, least expensive way to slow climate change: Use less energy. With a little effort, and not much money, most of us could reduce our energy diets by 25 percent or more—doing the Earth a favor while also helping our wallets.
Not long age. My wife, PJ, and I tried a new diet—not to lose a little weight but to answer an annoying question about climate change. Scientists have reported recently that the world is bending up even faster than predicted only a few years ago, and that the consequences could be severe if we don‘t keep reducing emissions（排放）of carbon dioxide（CO2）and other greenhouse gases that are trapping heat in our atmosphere.
We decided to try an experiment. For one month we recorded our personal emissions of CO2. . We wanted to see how much we could cut back, so we went on a strict diet. The average US household（家庭）produces about 150 pounds of CO2 a day by doing common-place things like turning on air-conditioning or driving cars. That‘s more than twice the European average and almost five times the global average, mostly because Americans drive more and have bigger houses. But how much should we try to reduce?
For an answer, I checked with Tim Flannery, author of The Weather Makers: How Man Is Changing the Climate and What It Means for Life on Earth. In his book, he had challenged
第23页
长沙新东方中学部 高一上学期英语预科讲义
readers to make deep cuts in personal emissions to keep the world from reaching extremely important tipping points, such as the melting（融化）of the ice sheets in Greenland or West Antarctica. ―To stay below that point, we need to reduce CO2 emissions by 80 percent,‖ he said.
Good advice, I thought. I‘d opened our bedroom windows to let in the wind. We‘d gotten so used to keeping our air-conditioning going around the clock. I‘d almost forgotten the windows even opened. We should not let this happen again. It‘s time for us to change our habits if necessary.
72. Why did the author and his wife try a new diet? A. To take special kinds of food B. To respond to climate change C. To lose weight D. To improve their health 73. The underlined words ―tipping points‖ most probably refer to A. freezing points B. burning points C. melting points D. boiling points 74. It can be inferred from the passage that _______________. A. it is necessary to keep the air-conditioning on all the time B. it seems possible for every household to cut emissions of CO2 C. the average US household produces about 3,000 pounds of CO2 a month D. the average European household produces about 1,000 pounds of CO2 a month 75. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. Saving Energy Starts at Home B. Changing Our Habits Begins at Work C. Changing Climate Sounds Reasonable D.

Module 2
Unit 1 Tales of the unexplained Boy missing, police puzzled
Police in America have stepped up their search for a fifteen-year-old boy who went missing three days ago in Dover, New Hampshire. This incident has received great interest due to reports of strange lights in the sky and of alien visits around the time the boy disappeared.
Justin Foster, a high school student, were last seen Friday night. At first, Justin‘s mother, who went to sleep early that evening because of a headache, thought that the teenager was spending the night with a friend. Mr. Foster, who was working that night, was surprised that his son did not tell anyone that he was staying out late. When Justin did not show up at the family lunch the next day, Mrs. Foster became worried and told her husband to call the police.
However, police found that Justin did in fact return home on Friday night at about 11p.m. That evening at 8 p.m. Justin left home to play baseball with two friends, who both say Justin went home after the game. Witnesses also say they saw Justin walking towards his home at 10.45 p. m. Justin‘s sister, Kelly, says she heard her brother return home at about 11p.m. ‗I was getting ready for bed,‘ she said. ‗Justin went straight to his room. I didn‘t see him but I heard him put on his favourite CD. That‘s when the lights came.‘
According to Kelly, a bright light then appeared outside her window. At first, the young girl thought it was the light of the full room, but then she realized that it was moving and coming closer. ‗I pulled back the curtains and saw a large spaceship flying outside. It had multi-coloured lights all around it and there were many windows. Standing inside were lots of white-skinned, strange-looking creatures with large black eyes. I was frightened.‘ Kelly said that the spaceship then moved around to the side of the house, towards her brother‘s bedroom. ‗ I heard Justin shout, and then the UFO just disappeared. I haven‘t seen Justin since. I ‗m sure the aliens took him, but my parents said I was only dreaming.‘
Some people in Dover also say that they have seen aliens.‘ It happened to me!‘ said Mavis Wood.‘ The aliens took me away so that they could do research on me. Luckily, they returned me to my home. I think Justin was taken away by them, too. They are interested in us. I still have nightmares about them. I haven‘t been sleeping well since I returned home. The whole experience was very frightening. I even get frightened when I hear a plane fly over.
Police have not ruled out the possibility that Justin was taken by aliens, but are also looking into other possibilities. Sometimes people make up such amazing stories,‘ says Detective Sam Peterson, who has taken charge of the case. ‗So we‘ve been looking at other possibilities too, such as murder. We will not give up until we find convincing evidence.

Science can't explain the power of pets, but many studies have shown that the company of pets can help lower blood pressure (血压) and raise chances of recovering from a heart attack, reduce loneliness and spread all-round good cheer.
Any owner will tell you how much joy a pet brings. For some, an animal provides more comfort than a husband/wife. A 2002 study by Karen Allen of the State University of New York measured stress (紧张) levels and blood pressure in people - half of them pet owners –while they performed 5 minutes of mental arithmetic (算术) or held a hand in ice water. Subjects completed the tasks alone, with a husband/wife, a close friend or with a pet. People with pets did it best. Those tested with their animal friends had smaller change in blood pressure and returned most quickly to baseline heart rates .With pets in the room, people also made fewer math mistakes than when doing in front of other companions. It seems people feel more released (放松)around pets, says Allen, who thinks it may be because pets don‘t judge.
A study reported last fall suggests that having a pet dog not only raises your spirits but may also have an effect on your eating habits. Researchers at Northwestern Memorial Hospital spent a year studying 36 fat people and were put on a diet-and-exercise programs; a separate group of 56 fat people without pets were put on a diet program. On average，people lost about 11 pounds, or 5% of their body weight .Their dogs did even better，losing an average of 12 pounds, more than 15% of their body weight. Dog owners didn‘t lose any more weight than those without dogs but, say researchers, got more exercise overall –mostly with their dogs –and found it worth doing. 67．What does the text mainly discuss? A．What pets bring to their owners B．How pets help people calm down C．People‘s opinions of keeping pets D．Pet‘s value in medical research
68．We learn from the text that a person with heart disease has a better chance of getting well if ____________ A．he has a pet companion B．he has less stress of work C．he often dose mental arithmetic D．he is taken care of by his family 69．According to Allen, why did the people do better with pets around when facing stressful tasks? A．They have lower blood pressure.

B．They become more patient. C．They are less nervous. D．They are in higher spirits.
70．The research mentioned in the last paragraph reports that A．people with dogs did more exercise B．dogs lost the same weight as people did
C．dogs liked exercise much more than people did D．people without dogs found the program unhelpful

I grew up in a house where the TV was seldom turned on and with one wall in my bedroom entirely lined with bookshelves, most of my childhood was spent on books I could get hold of. In fact, I grew up thinking of reading as natural as breathing and books unbelievably powerful in shaping perspectives (观点) by creating worlds we could step into, take part in and live in.
With this unshakable belief, I, at. fourteen, decided to become a writer. Here too, reading became useful. Every writer starts off knowing that he has something to say, but being unable to find the right ways to say it. He has to find his own voice by reading widely and discovering which parts of the writers he agrees or disagrees with, or agrees with so strongly that it reshapes his own world. He cannot write without loving to read, because only through reading other people‘s writing can one discover what works, what doesn‘t and, in the end, together with lots of practice, what voice he has.
Now I am in college, and have come to realize how important it is to read fiction (文学作品)．As a. law student, my reading is in fact limited to subject matter—the volume (量) of what I have to read for classes every week means there is little time to read anything else. Such reading made it all the clearer to me that I live in a very small part in this great place called life. Reading fiction reminds me that there is life beyond my own. It allows me to travel across the high seas and along the Silk Road, all from the comfort of my own armchair, to experience, though secondhand, exciting experiences that I wouldn't necessarily be able to have in my lifetime. 41. What can be inferred about the author as a child?
A. He never watched TV. B. He read what he had to.
C. He found reading unbelievable.
D. He considered reading part of his life. 42. The underlined word \"voice\" in the second paragraph most probably means ― ‖.
A. an idea B. a sound quality C. a way of writing
D. a world to write about
43. What effect does reading have on the author?
A. It helps him to realize his dream. B. It opens up a wider world for him.
C. It makes his college life more interesting. D. It increases his interest in worldwide travel.
44. Which of the following can be the best title of this text?

I love charity(慈善) shops and so do lots of other people in Britain because you find quite a few of them on every high street. The charity shop is a British institution, selling everything from clothes to electric goods, all at very good prices. You can get things you won‘t find in the shops anymore. The thing I like best about them is that your money is going to a good cause and not into the pockets of profit-driven companies, and you are not damaging the planet, but finding a new home for unwanted goods.
The first charity shop was opened in 1947 by Oxfam. The famous charity‘s appeal to aid postwar Greece had been so successful it had been flooded with donations(捐赠物). They decided to set up a shop to sell some of these donations to raise money for that appeal. Now there are over 7,000 charity shops in the UK. My favorite charity shop in my hometown is the Red Cross shop, where I always find children‘s books, all 10 or 20 pence each.
Most of the people working in the charity shops are volunteers, although there is often a manager who gets paid. Over 90% of the goods in the charity shops are donated by the public. Every morning you see bags of unwanted items outside the front of shops, although they don‘t encourage this, rather ask people to bring things in when the shop is open.
The shops have very low running costs: all profits go to charity work. Charity shops raise more than ￡110 million a year, funding（资助）medical research, overseas aid, supporting sick and poor children, homeless and disabled people, and much more. What better place to spend your money? You get something special for a very good price and a good moral sense. You provide funds to a good cause and tread lightly on the environment.
40. The author loves the charity shop mainly because of _______. A. its convenient location B. its great variety of goods C. its spirit of goodwill
D. its nice shopping environment
41. The first charity shop in the UK was set up to ____. A. sell cheap products
B. deal with unwanted things C. raise money for patients D. help a foreign country
42. Which of the following is TRUE about charity shops? A. The operating costs are very low. B. The staff are usually well paid.
C. 90% of the donations are second-hand. D. They are open twenty-four hours a day.
43. Which of the following may be the best title for the passage? A. What to Buy a Charity Shops.
B. Charity Shop: Its Origin & Development.

Unit 2 Wish you were here An adventure in Africa
30th June Dear Aihua，
How are you? Sorry I haven‘t written for so long. I‘ve been quite busy planning my holiday with my older brother, Colin. Do you still remember the trip I told you about? I told you Colin and I would spend a few weeks travelling before he goes to university. Well, now we‘re ready to go! We‘re going to visit so many exciting places and do lots of astonishing things. We will go to Africa first. I can‘t wait! Have you been there?
We leave London on 15th July, and we‘ll be flying to Morocco, in northern Africa. We‘re going to travel on camels through the Sahara Desert. It‘s the biggest desert in the world—about the size of the US! I expect it will be very hot, dry and dusty there. We‘ll be travelling by camel, with local guides, camping in tents and sleeping on the ground in our big, thick sleeping bags. I‘ve heard that we can see beautiful stars on clear nights. I‘ll bring a torch with me so that I‘ll be able to see in the dark. The whole trip will take six days. That means I‘ll have to sit on a camel for almost a week--how uncomfortable! I hope my camel likes me!
After the trip by camel, we‘re going to travel down the River Nile. We‘ll start at Lake Victoria. A

长沙新东方中学部 高一上学期英语预科讲义
little way down the river from Lake Victoria, the water actually gets quite rough. So, we‘ll go white-water rafting. It‘s quite dangerous, but very exciting! You have to wear special clothing, a helmet and a life jacket, just in case your raft gets turned upside down of sinks.
After white-water rafting, we‘re going on a trip to see wild animals in Kenya. We‘ll live with the local people in their villages, and eat and drink whatever they do, including cow‘s blood! Do you think I should drink it?
Since we‘ll be walking every day for almost two weeks, I‘ll need to buy a large, strong, light backpack to carry my supplies of food and water. During the day, we‘ll walk across the land, following the footprints of big animals such as elephants, lions and giraffes. We‘ll try to get as close as possible to the animals, even though they‘re dangerous, so that I can take some really good photos. But don‘t worry about me—our guides will have guns with them to scare the animals away if they come too close. I really want to see an elephant up close. Colin wants to see a giraffe. After that, we‘ll be moving on to Tanzania, where we‘re going to climb Mount Kilimanjaro. Mountain climbing can be very tiring, and many people feel sick as the air gets thinner, so Colin and I will make sure that we will get enough rest after sunset.
The African part of our trip will take about four weeks. Then we‘re going to the Himalayas. I‘ll send you postcards from all the different places we visit! Love Toby

If you look for a book as a present for a child, you will be spoiled for choice even in a year there is no new Harry Patten. J.K Rowling‘s wizard is not alone.

Yet despite that, reading is increasingly unpopular among children. According to statistics in 1997 23% said they didn‘t like reading in all. In 2003, 35% did. And around 6% of children leave primary school each year unable to read properly.
Maybe the decline is caused by the increasing availability of computes games. Maybe the books boom has affected only the top of the educational pile. Either way, Chancellor Cordon Brown plans to change things for the bottom of the class .In his pre-budget report, he announced the national project of Reading Recovery to help the children struggling most.
Reading Recovery is wined at six year olds, who receive four months of individual daily half-hour classes with a specially trained teacher. An evaluation either this year reported that children on the school made 20 months‘ progress in just one year, whereas similarly weak readers without special help made just five months‘ progress, and so ended the year even further below the level expected for their age.
International research tends to find that when British children leave primacy school they read well, but read text often for fun than those elsewhere .Reading for fun matters because children who are been on reading can report lifelong pleasure and loving books is an excellent indicator of future educational success . According to the OECD, being a regular and enthusiastic reader is of great advantage.
60．Which of the following is true of Paragraph 1?
A．Marry children‘s books have been adapted from films. B．Marry high-quality children‘s books have been published. C．The sales of classics have led to the popularity of films. D．The sales of presents for children have increased. 61．Statistics suggested that .
A．the number of top students increased with the use of computers B．a decreasing number of children showed interest in reading C．a minority of primacy school children read properly D．a huge percentage of children read regularly 62．What do we know about Reading Recovery?
A．An evaluation of it will be made sometime this year. B．Weak readers on the project were the most hardworking. C．It aims to train special teachers to help children with reading. D．Children on the project showed noticeable progress in reading. 63．Reading for fun is important because book-loving children _________.
A．take greater advantage of the project B．show the potential to enjoy a long life C．are likely to succeed in their education. D．would make excellent future researchers
64．The arm of this text would probably be _________.
A．to overcome primary school pupils reading difficulty. B．to encourage the publication of more children‘s books C．to remind children of the importance of reading for fun D．to introduce a way to improve early children reading

social situation of women, is one of the most serious problems in Asia. When people talk about it, you can hear a word invented in Japan. which means Double Income Kids(小孩).
In many major Asian cities like Seoul, Singapore, and Tokyo, the cost of a house is extremely high. A young couple who want to buy their own house may have to pay about $3000, 000 (though prices have fallen). For a flat with one bedroom, one dining-room, a kitchen, and a bathroom, the couple will pay about $900 a month. What‘s more, if they want to have a child, the child‘s education is very expensive. For example, most kindergarten charges are at least $5.000 a year. In such a situation, it‘s difficult to afford children.
The number of married women who want to continue working increases rapidly because they enjoy their jobs. However, if they want to have children, they immediately have serious problems. Though most companies allow women to leave their jobs for a short time to have a baby, they expect women with babies to give up their jobs. In short, if they want to bring up children properly, both parents have to work, but it is hard for mothers to work. Indeed, women who want to continue working have to choose between having children or keeping their jobs.
In a word, Asian governments must take steps to improve the present situation as soon as possible.
72. What is the main problem being discussed in the passage? A. The small number of newborn babies. B. The changing social situation of women. C. The high prices of houses and education. D. The necessary steps of Asian government.
73. According to the passage, which of the following is true? A. It is easy for a couple to afford a child in Asia. B. The prices of in Asia are quite low now.
C. Fewer and fewer married women want to have a job. D. The word ―DINKS‖ appeared in an Asian country.
74. To buy a flat and send a child to kindergarten, how much will a couple pay each year? A. $5,000 B. $5,900 C. $10,800 D. $15,800 75. The writer seems to believe that Asian governments should ________.

Unit 3 Amazing people The course of the mummy
Howard Carter is one of the most famous explorers the world has ever known. He was brave and adventurous. He loved to visit new places. During his lifetime, he discovered many amazing things.
Howard Carter did not go to school but was taught to draw by his father, who was an artist. He was bright and curious about the world outside his hometown. In 1891, at the age of 17, he set sail for Alexandria, Egypt. By the 1920s, he had become an explorer, searching for tombs of the Egyptian kings. He found several important ones. Inside the tombs, he found jewels, gold and the preserved bodies of dead kings. These preserved bodies and known as mummies.
In 1992, Howard Cater made his most amazing discovery of all, in the Valley of the Kings, in Egypt. He had received money from Lord Carnarvon, a British man who was very interested in Egypt. Carter‘s team was working at a place near a city called Luxor. There, they found the tomb of King Tutankhamun. It was the most important tomb that had ever been found. ‗The tomb contained more riches, gold and jewels than any of us had ever seen before, as well as the mummy
第42页
长沙新东方中学部 高一上学期英语预科讲义
of the king,‘ said Carter. By the time we left, it was empty. We emptied the tomb of everything it contained—we are rich and famous right away.‘
However, not long after the tomb had been opened, people in Carter‘s team began to fail ill and die strangely. Upon entering the tomb, Carter‘s lucky pet bird, which had led him to the place, was eaten by a snake. Then, a few months after Cater had opened the tomb, Lord Carnarvon, who was also present when the tomb was opened, fell ill with a fever and died in Egypt. At the moment of Carnarvon‘s death, the lights went out in Cairo, the capital of Egypt. Back in England, his dog died at the same time.
George Gould, a friend of Carnarvon‘s, went to Egypt after hearing of his death. He too visited the tomb, and had a high fever the following day. Twelve hours later, he was dead. Carter‘s secretary, Richard Bethell, died of heart trouble four months after the tomb was opened. Arthur Mace, another member of team, also died shortly after the discovery.
Within seven years, 21 people who had something to do with the opening of the tomb died. Howard Carter, however, lived on and died at the age of 65. Some people say the deaths were just coincidence. Others believe that they were the result of mummy‘s curse, which punishes those who enter the resting place of the dead.
However, still others believe that there is a scientific explanation. Inside the tombs, there are many viruses. When a tomb is opened, fresh air disturbs the viruses. If breathed in, they can result in illness or even death. Today, when scientists examine mummies, they wear special clothing to protect themselves.
What is certain, though, is that the mystery of Tutankhamun‘s tomb has never been fully explained.

EDGEWOOD—every morning at Dixie Heights High school, customers pour into a special experiment: the district‘s first coffee shop run mostly by students with special learning needs. Well before classes start, students and teachers order Lattes, Cappuccinos and Hot Chocolates. Then, during the first period, teachers call in orders on their room phones, and students make deliveries.
By closing time at 9.20 a.m. , the shop usually sells 90drinks.
―Whoever made the chi tea, Ms. Schatzman says it was good,‖ Christy McKinley, a second year student, announced recently, after hanging up with the teacher.
The shop is called the Dixie PIT, which stands for Power in Transition. Although some of the students are not disabled, many are, and the PIT helps them prepare for life after high school. They learn not only how to run a coffee shop but also how to deal with their affairs. They keep a timecard and receive paychecks, which they keep in check registers.
Special-education teachers Kim Chevalier and Sue Casey introduced the Dixie PIT from a similar program at Kennesaw Mountain High School in Georgia.
Not that it was easy. Chevalier‘s first problem to overcome was product-related. Should schools be selling coffee? What about sugar content?
Kenton County Food Service Director Ginger Gray helped. She made sure all the drinks, which use non-fat milk, fell within nutrition（营养）guidelines. The whole school has joined in to help.
Teachers agreed to give up their lounge(休息室) in the morning. Art students painted the name

Many animals recognize their food because they see it. So do humans. When you see an apple or a piece of chocolate you know that these are things you can eat. You can also use other senses when you choose your food. You may like it because it smells good or because it tastes good. You may dislike some types of food because they do not look, smell or taste very nice. Different animals use different sense, to find and choose their food. A few animals depend on only one of their senses while most animals use more than one sense.
Although there are many different types of food, some animals spend their lives eating only one type. The giant panda (大熊猫) eats only one particular type of bamboo (竹子). Other animals eat only one type of food even when given the choice. A kind of white butterfly (蝴蝶) will stay on the leaves of a cabbage, even though there are plenty of other vegetables in the garden. However, most animals have a more varied diet (多样化饮食). The bear eats fruits and fish. The fox eats small animals, birds and fruits. The diet of these animals will be different depending on the season.

Praising attributes (品质) or abilities makes a false promise that success will come to you because you have that quality , and it devalues effort, so children are afraid to take on challenges,‖ says Dweck, now at Stanford University . ―They figure they‘d better quit while they‘re ahead.‖ 61.
