A
What comes to mind when you think of a museum? Valuable exhibits? Relaxed atmosphere? Here let's encounter some special museums.
The Museum of Bad Art
The Museum of Bad Art based in Boston, Massachusetts, will bring you a quite different visual experience. As its name implies, all pieces have made their way to the museum for being too bad to be ignored.
All the paintings have been found in yard sales, rescued from the trash or donated to the museum. When viewing such a large collection of failed art, be prepared to laugh your head off.
Luoyang Ancient Tombs Museum
Established in 1984 and opened to the public in 1987, the Luoyang Ancient Tombs Museum sits in a complex of grand buildings in the architectural style of the Han Dynasty.
The distinctive museum consists of two sections. The aboveground part features models of tombs from the Stone Age to the Han Dynasty. The underground one contains 22 tombs from Henan Province. The tomb of Emperor Xuanwu of Northern Wei is the highlight of the museum.
The Underwater Museum
Fancy an undersea exploration but have no idea where to go? Then the Underwater Museum at the bottom of Lake Grublsee in Austria can be a good choice.
This incredible museum is perfect for adventurous divers, which surely gives visitors a unique experience. It houses not only copies of ancient people and cultural relics, but also fun, strange pieces like the Statue of Liberty, aliens and skeletons (骨架).
Upside Down House
Another strange museum is the Upside Down House in St. Petersburg. It features an apartment where everything is turned upside down.
When you walk into the house, you will feel quite confused and find the entire museum very impressive. With each item in the apartment turned head over heels, you would experience the illusion (错觉) that comes with standing on the ceiling.
21. Which museum best suits diving enthusiasts?
A. Upside Down House. B. The Museum of Bad Art.
C. The Underwater Museum. D. Luoyang Ancient Tombs Museum.
22. What can people do in the Museum of Bad Art?
A. Enjoy a big collection of failed art. B. See several copies of cultural relics.
C. Experience visual illusion in person. D. Visit historical and grand buildings.
23. What do the four museums have in common?
A. They are located in Europe. B. They focus on human nature.
C. They show respect for life. D. They are special museums.
B
A 12-year-old girl, Eleanor Woods, has created a green backpack that filters (过滤) out air pollution. Her innovative bag won the award of the “Backpack to the Future” competition.
The competition was launched to encourage students to combine an interest in fashion with a career in science, technology, engineering or maths.
Powered by green energy from solar power and a dynamo—a machine that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy—the backpack filters polluted air before fanning out cleaner air nearby.
Air pollution was always Eleanor's concern. Meanwhile, spending a lot of time with her asthmatic (患哮喘病的) mum, Eleanor especially focused on how pollution affects a person's health and the spread of diseases. “We have an air filter at home because my mum has mild asthma. But what if she wants to go out? It would be inconvenient and dangerous! My Breathe Better Backpack is about keeping those like my mother safe using an air filter. It looks cool and will help get them outside and fight off colds,” Eleanor said.
The girl added, “My generation has really realized pollution, and we have lessons on it at school. This is another reason why I designed this, because we need to do something. '
The Breathe Better Backpack came under the spotlight in the competition. Stratton Smith, one of the judges of the competition, said the impact of Eleanor's design would be far-reaching. “If just a few people start using it, it can be really good for the planet,” he explained.
24. What inspired Eleanor Woods to design the backpack?
A. The award of the competition. B. High expenses of air filters.
C. Stratton Smith's behaviour. D. Her concern for air pollution.
25. What do we know about the backpack?
A. It collects polluted air. B. It is powered by wind.
C. It is of practical use. D. It sells well at present.
26. Who will most probably benefit from the backpack?
A. Students living in poverty. B. Those suffering from asthma.
C. People working in an open way. D. Judges worried about pollution.
27. Which of the following best describes Eleanor Woods?
A. Humorous and modest. B. Ambitious and selfless.
C. Confident and fearless. D. Creative and considerate.
C
Decisions in life are rarely black and white but usually involve shades of gray. At dinner time, the decision you face is not between fasting and eating like a pig, but whether to take that extra spoonful of food. When exams are around the corner, your decision is not between quitting them and studying 24 hours a day, but whether to spend an extra hour reviewing your notes. Economists use the term “marginal changes” to describe minor adjustments to an existing plan of action.
In many situations, people make the best decisions by thinking at the margin. Margin means “edge”, so marginal changes are adjustments around the edges of what you are doing. Suppose, for instance, that you ask a friend for advice about how many years to stay in school. If he compares the lifestyle of a person with a Ph. D. to that of a grade school dropout, you might complain that this comparison is not helpful for your decision. You have some education already and most likely are deciding whether to spend an extra year or two in school. To make this decision, you need to know the additional benefits that an extra year in school would offer (higher salaries throughout life and the pure joy of learning) and the additional costs that you would pay (tuition and the forgone salaries while you are in school). By comparing these marginal benefits and marginal costs, you can evaluate whether the extra year is worthwhile.
Individuals and firms can make better decisions by thinking at the margin. A rational decision-maker takes action if and only if the marginal benefit of the action exceeds the marginal cost.
28. What does “fasting” underlined in Paragraph 1 mean?
A. Eating or drinking a lot. B. Eating little or no food.
C. Eating on a regular basis. D. Eating without appetite.
29. Why does the author give an example in Paragraph 2?
A. To explain marginal thinking. B. To solve real-life problems.
C. To evaluate marginal thinking. D. To encourage adjustments.
30. What can we infer from the text?
A. It is unnecessary to make minor adjustments to plans.
B. Comparison makes little sense in decision-making.
C. People often weigh up benefits and costs of decisions.
D. Marginal changes are controversial among individuals.
31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Marginal Thinking Leads to Better Decisions
B. Marginal Benefit Goes beyond Marginal Cost
C. Rational Thinkers Exist in All Aspects of Life
D. Pleasure Results from Effective Comparison
D
After waking up, you may feel frustrated that you cannot recall the dreams you had last night. Artificial Intelligence (AI) may be able to help.
Previously, there have been AI models that can turn texts into images. They do this by learning from a large amount of data from both texts and images. This time, researchers from Osaka University in Japan have trained an AI system called Stable Diffusion to recreate images directly based on people's brain scans, Science magazine reported.
The researchers used an online data set provided by the University of Minnesota, which consisted of brain scans from four participants as they each viewed a set of 10, 000 photos. The scans were recorded by functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). The AI then learned about the participants' brain activities by analyzing changes in blood flow shown by the fMRI data—when a part of the brain is activated, more blood will flow to it. It then matched the brain activity with the photos. Through this method, the AI learned how human brains would react when seeing different photos. Finally, the researchers tested the AI on additional brain scans from the same participants when they viewed photos of objects.
If the person looked at an airplane, for example, the AI would use the brain scan data to create an image of a very blurry (模糊的) airplane. Then, it would turn on the previous “text-to-image” model and improve the quality of the image by feeding itself the keyword “airplane”. The final images were “convincing” to about 80 percent accuracy, according to the researchers.
The new study created a novel approach that combines texts and images to “decode the brain”. According to Ariel Goldstein from Princeton University, in the future, the technology can be used to record imagined thoughts and dreams or allow people to understand how differently other animals perceive (感知) reality.
32. What is Stable Diffusion meant to do?
A. Scan people's brains. B. Turn texts into images.
C. Use brain scans to rebuild images. D. Record relevant experimental data.
33. How did the AI learn about the participants' brain activities?
A. By analyzing changes in blood flow. B. By asking the participants questions.
C. By comparing different brain scans. D. By referring to previous AI models.
34. What can we learn from the text?
A. Dreams can hardly be forgotten by us. B. Texts and images help decode the brain.
C. People's brains are affected by fMRI. D. The AI creates clear images of objects at first.
35. What does Ariel Goldstein say about the technology?
A. It has been adopted in many countries. B. Its development is far from satisfactory.
C. It is lacking in convincing evidence. D. Its application has a great prospect.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
How much time does it take you to sleep, eat and commute every day? 36 That case, time is limited for you to do other meaningful things. Managing your time effectively, therefore, becomes a matter of critical importance. Here are many things you can do.
Work out a plan in advance.
37 This will give you a measure of control over what is going to happen. Whether it is a planner that you stick on the wall or a calendar app on your smartphone, finding an organizing tool that works well for you is essential. Then, record all important events such as exams, projects and rehearsals, so that you can prepare accordingly.
38
This is about the skill of organization. It refers to arranging your personal space at home. So when doing your homework, you are in a tidy place, free from distractions. This includes putting away your mobile phone until you have finished everything that needs to be done.
Prioritize (优先考虑) what needs doing.
There is only a limited amount of time in a day, and even with good planning and organization, it is not always possible to complete everything that needs to be done. In such circumstances, you will have to decide which task should be completed first. You should classify the activities on the basis of their urgency and importance. 39 Then you can focus on your objective and stick to it.
Once you start taking little steps every day to plan, organize and prioritize the activities you intend to devote your energy, skills and talents to, you can spare more time to stay with family and friends, pursue a hobby or work on personal development. 40
A. Create favourable conditions.
B. This classification is your ultimate goal.
C. Balancing them is really a challenge for you.
D. This classification will help determine your priority.
E. Think about upcoming events and make a to-do list.
F. These basic activities take up an enormous part of your day.
G. You will end up reaping (收获) the rewards of time management.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
The four mountain climbers were still breathing heavily as they looked out into the distance. The views from the top of the mountain were breathtaking. In all directions, valleys, forests and other mountains were laid out before them. They could even see the small wooden houses of the village where they had spent the night and the route they had taken to reach the top of this small but dangerous mountain. Laughing loudly, they were surprised at their courage in climbing such a steep and rocky mountain slope. Filled with an enormous sense of achievement, the four young climbers patted each other on the back.
As the other three continued to enjoy the views, Jason, the leader of the group, stared at the horizon with a troubled look on his face.
“What is it, Jason?” Sofia, the youngest of the group, asked.
“Those dark clouds in the distance mean a heavy storm is fast on the way,” Jason replied. He remembered the villagers had warned him of the unpredictable weather conditions on top of the mountain and that a terrible storm could appear from nowhere.
“But it's so warm and sunny here. I don't think the storm is coming this way,” Sofia said, more in hope than expectation.
However, Jason feared the worst and knew only too well what would happen if the storm caught them in the open. He addressed the group in a calm but serious tone, “If the storm hits us, the temperature will fall dramatically. The rain and mist will make it difficult for us to see where we are going and we could easily get lost or fall off a cliff. The wind will take our strength, so we need to get moving fast.”
The four mountain climbers packed up their facilities and immediately started back down the mountain. Unfortunately, despite their best efforts, the storm was upon them sooner than expected. The wind screamed in their ears, the driving rain stung (刺痛) their eyes and the mist made it impossible for them to see clearly.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
With it getting dark, Jason decided that it was just too dangerous to continue.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Finally, the storm showed signs of stopping and the climbers decided to continue their way down the mountain.

第一节
Dear Michael,
Learning that a study trip will be held, I'd like to recommend the destination: Nanjing. Here are the reasons.
As an ancient capital of six dynasties and a modern city with high-quality development, Nanjing has much to provide for a study trip. For example, the grand museums and solemn monuments will undoubtedly educate us students not to forget history and motivate us to cherish the present. Meanwhile, efficient and convenient transportation adds attraction and vitality to this charming city.
A study trip to Nanjing promises to be fruitful!
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节
One possible version:
With it getting dark, Jason decided that it was just too dangerous to continue. He gathered the group in the shelter of a large rock, where he noticed that the other three were frightened and looking to him for a way out. Pushed by responsibility and pressure of leadership, Jason, shouting against the wind, explained that the safest thing for the moment was taking shelter from the pouring rain. They had expected that the storm would pass very soon. However, as darkness settled over them, the shower swept in. How time dragged!
Finally, the storm showed signs of stopping and the climbers decided to continue their way down the mountain. Unbearably cold and hungry, they felt their way downward with great difficulty, eager for a miracle. Suddenly, something caught Jason's eye. Was it a flash of light? There it was again… and another! In response, Jason immediately flashed his torch, exclaiming, “Over here! We are here!” His companions joined in. Rescue eventually arrived. Seeing the climbers, all the searching villagers breathed a sigh of relief and lovingly helped them return to the village. You see, weather changes but love remains.

三、作答示例
One possible version:
With it getting dark, Jason decided that it was just too dangerous to continue. He gathered the group in the shelter of a large rock, where he noticed that the other three were frightened and looking to him for a way out. Pushed by responsibility and pressure of leadership, Jason, shouting against the wind, explained that the safest thing for the moment was taking shelter from the pouring rain. They had expected that the storm would pass very soon. However, as darkness settled over them, the shower swept in. How time dragged!
Finally, the storm showed signs of stopping and the climbers decided to continue their way down the mountain. Unbearably cold and hungry, they felt their way downward with great difficulty, eager for a miracle. Suddenly, something caught Jason's eye. Was it a flash of light? There it was again…and another! In response, Jason immediately flashed his torch, exclaiming, “Over here! We are here!” His companions joined in. Rescue eventually arrived. Seeing the climbers, all the searching villagers breathed a sigh of relief and lovingly helped them return to the village. You see, weather changes but love remains.

What comes to mind when you think of a museum? Valuable exhibits? Relaxed atmosphere? Here let's encounter some special museums.
The Museum of Bad Art
The Museum of Bad Art based in Boston, Massachusetts, will bring you a quite different visual experience. As its name implies, all pieces have made their way to the museum for being too bad to be ignored.
All the paintings have been found in yard sales, rescued from the trash or donated to the museum. When viewing such a large collection of failed art, be prepared to laugh your head off.
Luoyang Ancient Tombs Museum
Established in 1984 and opened to the public in 1987, the Luoyang Ancient Tombs Museum sits in a complex of grand buildings in the architectural style of the Han Dynasty.
The distinctive museum consists of two sections. The aboveground part features models of tombs from the Stone Age to the Han Dynasty. The underground one contains 22 tombs from Henan Province. The tomb of Emperor Xuanwu of Northern Wei is the highlight of the museum.
The Underwater Museum
Fancy an undersea exploration but have no idea where to go? Then the Underwater Museum at the bottom of Lake Grublsee in Austria can be a good choice.
This incredible museum is perfect for adventurous divers, which surely gives visitors a unique experience. It houses not only copies of ancient people and cultural relics, but also fun, strange pieces like the Statue of Liberty, aliens and skeletons (骨架).
Upside Down House
Another strange museum is the Upside Down House in St. Petersburg. It features an apartment where everything is turned upside down.
When you walk into the house, you will feel quite confused and find the entire museum very impressive. With each item in the apartment turned head over heels, you would experience the illusion (错觉) that comes with standing on the ceiling.
21. Which museum best suits diving enthusiasts?
A. Upside Down House. B. The Museum of Bad Art.
C. The Underwater Museum. D. Luoyang Ancient Tombs Museum.
22. What can people do in the Museum of Bad Art?

A 12-year-old girl, Eleanor Woods, has created a green backpack that filters (过滤) out air pollution. Her innovative bag won the award of the “Backpack to the Future” competition.
The competition was launched to encourage students to combine an interest in fashion with a career in science, technology, engineering or maths.
Powered by green energy from solar power and a dynamo—a machine that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy—the backpack filters polluted air before fanning out cleaner air nearby.
Air pollution was always Eleanor's concern. Meanwhile, spending a lot of time with her asthmatic (患哮喘病的) mum, Eleanor especially focused on how pollution affects a person's health and the spread of diseases. “We have an air filter at home because my mum has mild asthma. But what if she wants to go out? It would be inconvenient and dangerous! My Breathe Better Backpack is about keeping those like my mother safe using an air filter. It looks cool and will help get them outside and fight off colds,” Eleanor said.
The girl added, “My generation has really realized pollution, and we have lessons on it at school. This is another reason why I designed this, because we need to do something. '
The Breathe Better Backpack came under the spotlight in the competition. Stratton Smith, one of the judges of the competition, said the impact of Eleanor's design would be far-reaching. “If just a few people start using it, it can be really good for the planet,” he explained.
24. What inspired Eleanor Woods to design the backpack?
A. The award of the competition. B. High expenses of air filters.
C. Stratton Smith's behaviour. D. Her concern for air pollution.
25. What do we know about the backpack?
A. It collects polluted air. B. It is powered by wind.
C. It is of practical use. D. It sells well at present.
26. Who will most probably benefit from the backpack?
A. Students living in poverty. B. Those suffering from asthma.
C. People working in an open way. D. Judges worried about pollution.
27. Which of the following best describes Eleanor Woods?
A. Humorous and modest. B. Ambitious and selfless.
C. Confident and fearless. D. Creative and considerate.
C
Decisions in life are rarely black and white but usually involve shades of gray. At dinner time, the decision you face is not between fasting and eating like a pig, but whether to take that extra spoonful of food. When exams are around the corner, your decision is not between quitting them and studying 24 hours a day, but whether to spend an extra hour reviewing your notes. Economists use the term “marginal changes” to describe minor adjustments to an existing plan of action.
In many situations, people make the best decisions by thinking at the margin. Margin means “edge”, so marginal changes are adjustments around the edges of what you are doing. Suppose, for instance, that you ask a friend for advice about how many years to stay in school. If he compares the lifestyle of a person with a Ph. D. to that of a grade school dropout, you might complain that this comparison is not helpful for your decision. You have some education already and most likely are deciding whether to spend an extra year or two in school. To make this decision, you need to know the additional benefits that an extra year in school would offer (higher salaries throughout life and the pure joy of learning) and the additional costs that you would pay (tuition and the forgone salaries while you are in school). By comparing these marginal benefits and marginal costs, you can evaluate whether the extra year is worthwhile.
Individuals and firms can make better decisions by thinking at the margin. A rational decision-maker takes action if and only if the marginal benefit of the action exceeds the marginal cost.
28. What does “fasting” underlined in Paragraph 1 mean?
A. Eating or drinking a lot. B. Eating little or no food.
C. Eating on a regular basis. D. Eating without appetite.
29. Why does the author give an example in Paragraph 2?
A. To explain marginal thinking. B. To solve real-life problems.
C. To evaluate marginal thinking. D. To encourage adjustments.
30. What can we infer from the text?
A. It is unnecessary to make minor adjustments to plans.
B. Comparison makes little sense in decision-making.
C. People often weigh up benefits and costs of decisions.
D. Marginal changes are controversial among individuals.
31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Marginal Thinking Leads to Better Decisions
B. Marginal Benefit Goes beyond Marginal Cost
C. Rational Thinkers Exist in All Aspects of Life
D. Pleasure Results from Effective Comparison
D
After waking up, you may feel frustrated that you cannot recall the dreams you had last night. Artificial Intelligence (AI) may be able to help.
Previously, there have been AI models that can turn texts into images. They do this by learning from a large amount of data from both texts and images. This time, researchers from Osaka University in Japan have trained an AI system called Stable Diffusion to recreate images directly based on people's brain scans, Science magazine reported.
The researchers used an online data set provided by the University of Minnesota, which consisted of brain scans from four participants as they each viewed a set of 10, 000 photos. The scans were recorded by functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). The AI then learned about the participants' brain activities by analyzing changes in blood flow shown by the fMRI data—when a part of the brain is activated, more blood will flow to it. It then matched the brain activity with the photos. Through this method, the AI learned how human brains would react when seeing different photos. Finally, the researchers tested the AI on additional brain scans from the same participants when they viewed photos of objects.
If the person looked at an airplane, for example, the AI would use the brain scan data to create an image of a very blurry (模糊的) airplane. Then, it would turn on the previous “text-to-image” model and improve the quality of the image by feeding itself the keyword “airplane”. The final images were “convincing” to about 80 percent accuracy, according to the researchers.
The new study created a novel approach that combines texts and images to “decode the brain”. According to Ariel Goldstein from Princeton University, in the future, the technology can be used to record imagined thoughts and dreams or allow people to understand how differently other animals perceive (感知) reality.
32. What is Stable Diffusion meant to do?
A. Scan people's brains. B. Turn texts into images.
C. Use brain scans to rebuild images. D. Record relevant experimental data.
33. How did the AI learn about the participants' brain activities?
A. By analyzing changes in blood flow. B. By asking the participants questions.
C. By comparing different brain scans. D. By referring to previous AI models.
34. What can we learn from the text?
A. Dreams can hardly be forgotten by us. B. Texts and images help decode the brain.
C. People's brains are affected by fMRI. D. The AI creates clear images of objects at first.
35. What does Ariel Goldstein say about the technology?
A. It has been adopted in many countries. B. Its development is far from satisfactory.
C. It is lacking in convincing evidence. D. Its application has a great prospect.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
The four mountain climbers were still breathing heavily as they looked out into the distance. The views from the top of the mountain were breathtaking. In all directions, valleys, forests and other mountains were laid out before them. They could even see the small wooden houses of the village where they had spent the night and the route they had taken to reach the top of this small but dangerous mountain. Laughing loudly, they were surprised at their courage in climbing such a steep and rocky mountain slope. Filled with an enormous sense of achievement, the four young climbers patted each other on the back.
As the other three continued to enjoy the views, Jason, the leader of the group, stared at the horizon with a troubled look on his face.
“What is it, Jason?” Sofia, the youngest of the group, asked.
“Those dark clouds in the distance mean a heavy storm is fast on the way,” Jason replied. He remembered the villagers had warned him of the unpredictable weather conditions on top of the mountain and that a terrible storm could appear from nowhere.
“But it's so warm and sunny here. I don't think the storm is coming this way,” Sofia said, more in hope than expectation.
However, Jason feared the worst and knew only too well what would happen if the storm caught them in the open. He addressed the group in a calm but serious tone, “If the storm hits us, the temperature will fall dramatically. The rain and mist will make it difficult for us to see where we are going and we could easily get lost or fall off a cliff. The wind will take our strength, so we need to get moving fast.”
The four mountain climbers packed up their facilities and immediately started back down the mountain. Unfortunately, despite their best efforts, the storm was upon them sooner than expected. The wind screamed in their ears, the driving rain stung (刺痛) their eyes and the mist made it impossible for them to see clearly.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
With it getting dark, Jason decided that it was just too dangerous to continue.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Finally, the storm showed signs of stopping and the climbers decided to continue their way down the mountain.

Dear Michael,
Learning that a study trip will be held, I'd like to recommend the destination: Nanjing. Here are the reasons.
As an ancient capital of six dynasties and a modern city with high-quality development, Nanjing has much to provide for a study trip. For example, the grand museums and solemn monuments will undoubtedly educate us students not to forget history and motivate us to cherish the present. Meanwhile, efficient and convenient transportation adds attraction and vitality to this charming city.
A study trip to Nanjing promises to be fruitful!
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节
One possible version:
With it getting dark, Jason decided that it was just too dangerous to continue. He gathered the group in the shelter of a large rock, where he noticed that the other three were frightened and looking to him for a way out. Pushed by responsibility and pressure of leadership, Jason, shouting against the wind, explained that the safest thing for the moment was taking shelter from the pouring rain. They had expected that the storm would pass very soon. However, as darkness settled over them, the shower swept in. How time dragged!
Finally, the storm showed signs of stopping and the climbers decided to continue their way down the mountain. Unbearably cold and hungry, they felt their way downward with great difficulty, eager for a miracle. Suddenly, something caught Jason's eye. Was it a flash of light? There it was again… and another! In response, Jason immediately flashed his torch, exclaiming, “Over here! We are here!” His companions joined in. Rescue eventually arrived. Seeing the climbers, all the searching villagers breathed a sigh of relief and lovingly helped them return to the village. You see, weather changes but love remains.

W: Pal, what are you doing on the Internet?

M: What will you buy for your sister's birthday? I wondered about a new schoolbag but she's just got a new one. There's a novel called A Life and Music I'm sure she'd like, so that's what I'd go for.
W: She's always complaining her headphone is old, so I'll choose one for her.

W: Who has helped you most so far with your history paper?
M: American writers Johnson and Whitaker made some good points. But it was hard to follow the line of their arguments. Bradman's ideas were simple, so I've learned a lot from him.

M: Excuse me, I want to make an appointment for a medical check-up as soon as possible.
W: Let me check. I'm afraid today and tomorrow are fully booked. How about 4 p. m. the day after tomorrow?
M: Hmm, this Friday is fine.
W: Okay, what items do you want to test?
M: A dental examination, a skin check, a blood test and a chest X-ray. How much should I pay?
W: The first three items cost thirty dollars and the last one costs twenty dollars. Please take this form with you for medical checks.

M: This is good coffee. How's your milkshake?
W: I've had better. To be honest, I'd usually expect a bigger glass for the price. Il's nicely decorated, though. I love the lights and they play good music.
M: But it's not my taste. I mean…pink walls.
W: At least you're enjoying your coffee. I don't think I'm going to finish this milkshake.
M: Ask the waitress to get one tomato juice.
W: Okay, I will.

W: Mr Wright, I want to improve my English. Could you recommend some software I can use in my spare time?
M: Certainly. You can use Open Teacher. It is a quality teaching software. I like using it. It helps me teach.
W: Do you know any software especially for students? The pronunciations on the vocabulary are fine with me, but I'm finding the grammar awful.
M: Well, you can try ABC Learning. You can download it from the App Store. It provides grammar tests, vocabulary tests and pronunciation tests for the seniors.
W: I'll give it a try. But do you know any software that provides audio conversations?
M: Yes. Fun Conversations has some of the common, best and free English audio conversation lessons. It provides more than fifty audio conversations with written pronunciation, in which even a beginner can try to learn English.
W: Thanks, Mr Wright.

M: Hello, I've come about the position of hotel receptionist.
W: You know that this is only a temporary position, don't you?
M: Yes, but that's ideal for me. I'm going abroad in three months, so it fits in perfectly with my plans.
W: Where are you going?
M: I've just finished my degree in Modern Languages and I'm going to do an MA in Applied Linguistics in Paris. My cousin is studying Business English there, so I'm going to stay with him.
W: Have you had any experience of working at the reception desk?
M: Last summer I spent a month at the Burg Hotel. I learned a lot about customer care. I had to take the guests’ luggage to their rooms. I didn't have to make phone reservations or clean up the rooms.
W: Which foreign languages do you speak?
M: I speak German, French and a little Spanish. For my research, I believe most of your guests are from Europe. Is that right? I believe I'm a good communicator.
W: Good!

W: Good morning! Thank the council for agreeing to this meeting and for welcoming us here today to explain to you the project on pine wood center. I'll give you an overview of the center first. As visitors enter from the car park, they will walk along this path. So this building here on the right will be the cafe and the building on the left will be the gift shop. The gift shop will be where tickets are on sale. There will also be a picnic field behind the cafe. It will be great for parties. To the west of the gift shop is where tree tops challenge will take place. There will be all sorts of high-level adventure equipment—rope swings, awesome rope bridges and tunnels. There will be an indoor play area. We plan to have hands performing here. Finally, there is a feeding area which houses the farm animals. Children will be able to watch the animals being fed and cared for. The ducks will be in this area on the right here, directly opposite the pigs. And the goats and the rabbits will go at the very far end there. So those arc our plans. We hope they will be approved.
