Sectin B
Directins: Read the fllwing three passages. Each passage is fllwed by several questins r unfinished statements. Fr each f them there are fur chices marked A, B, C and D. Chse the ne that fits best accrding t the infrmatin given in the passage yu have just read.
(A)
I’ve wrked in the factries surrunding my hmetwn every summer since I graduated frm high schl, but making the transitin between schl and full-time blue-cllar wrk during the break never gets any easier. Fr a student like me wh cnsiders any class befre nn t be uncivilized, getting t a factry by 6 'clck each mrning is trture(折磨). My friends never seem t understand why I’m s relieved t be back at schl r that my summer vacatin has been anything but a vacatin.
There are few peple as self-cnfident as a cllege student wh had never been ut in the real wrld. Peple my age always seem t verestimate the value f their time and knwledge. In fact, all the classes did nt prepare me fr my battles with the machine I ran in the plant, which wuld jam whenever I absent-mindedly put in a part backward r upside dwn.
The mst stressful thing abut blue-cllar life is knwing yur jb culd disappear vernight. Issues like dwnsizing and verseas relcatin had always seemed distant t me until my c-wrkers tld me that the unit I was wrking in wuld shut dwn within six mnths and mve t Mexic, where peple wuld wrk fr 60 cents an hur.
After wrking 12-hur shifts in a factry, the ther pinins have becme nly t clear. When I’m back at the university, skipping classes and turning in lazy rewrites seems t irrespnsible after seeing what I wuld be ding withut schl. All the advice and public-service annuncements abut the value f an educatin that used t sund stale nw ring true.
These lessns I’m learning, hwever valuable, are always tinged with a sense f guilt. Many peple pass their lives in the places I briefly wrk, spending 30 years where I spend nly tw mnths at a time. “This jb pays well, but it’s hell n the bdy,” said ne c-wrker. “Study hard and keep reading,” she added.
My experiences in the factries have inspired me t make the mst f my cllege years befre I enter the real wrld fr gd.

A.They ffered him a chance t knw mre peple.
B.They brught him nthing but trture.
C.They were n hliday fr him at all.
D.They were a relief frm his hard wrk at schl.
53.What des the authr say abut cllege students?
A.They are nt cnfident f their future.
B.They think t highly f themselves.
C.They have little interest in blue-cllar life.
D.They expect t much frm the real wrld.
54.In what imprtant way has the authr’s wrk experience changed him?
A.He came t appreciate his cllege educatin.
B.He learned t be mre practical.
C.He acquired a sense f urgency.
D.He came t respect blue-cllar wrkers.
55.Why des the authr feel smewhat guilty?

B.He has nt dne much t help his c-wrkers at the factry.
C.He has stayed at schl just fr the purpse f escaping frm the real wrld.
D.He realizes there is a great divide between his life and that f blue-cllar wrkers.

(B)
Planning a visit t the UK? Here we help with ways t cut yur csts.
AVOID BIG EVENTS Big sprting events, cncerts and exhibitins can increase the cst f accmmdatin and make it harder t find a rm. A standard duble rm at the Thistle Brightn n the final Friday f the Brightn Cmedy Festival (19 Oct.) cst £169.15 at Bking.cm. A week later, the same rm cst £118.15.
If yu can be flexible and want t knw dates t avid—r yu're lking fr a big event t pass yur time—check ut sites such as Whatsnwhen.cm, which allw yu t search fr events in the UK by city, date and categry.
STAY AWAY FROM THE STATION If traveling t yur destinatin by train, yu may want t find a gd base clse t the statin, but yu culd end up paying mre fr the sake f cnvenience at the start f yur hliday.
Dn't be t chsy abut the part f twn yu stay in. Bking tw mnths in advance, the cheapest rm at Traveldge's Central Eustn htel in Lndn fr Saturday 22 September was £95.95. A rm just a tube jurney away at its Cvent Garden htel was £75.75. And at Farringdn, a duble rm cst just £62.95.
LOOK AFTER YOURSELF Really central htels in cities such as Lndn, Edinburgh and Cardiff can cst a frtune, especially at weekends and during big events. As an alternative cnsider checking int a self-catering flat with its wn kitchen. Often these flats are hidden away n the tp flrs f city central buildings. A great example is the histric O'Neill Flat n Edinburgh's Ryal Mile, available fr £420 fr five days in late September, with rm fr fur adults.
GET ON A BIKE Lndn's 'Bris bikes' have attracted the mst attentin, but ther cities als have similar prgrams that let yu rent a bicycle and explre at yur wn pace, saving yu n public transprt r car parking csts.
Amng the smaller cities with their wn prgrams are Newcastle (casual members pay arund £1.50 fr tw hurs) and Cardiff (free fr up t 30 minutes, r £5 per day).

(C)
In many cuntries f the wrld, peple can cnfidently tell yu the meaning f their twn r city, but mst peple wh live in Manchester, Oxfrd r Birmingham wuld nt be able t explain what the name f their city means. The name f every British twn and city, hwever, has a lng histry.
Tw thusand years ag, mst peple living in Britain were Celts. Even the wrd “Britain” is Celtic. Then the Rmans arrived and built camps which became cities called “castra”. This is why there are s many place names in England which end in “-chester” r “-caster”— Manchester, fr example.
The Rmans never reached Wales r Sctland, and many place names there are Celtic. Fr example, Welsh place names that begin with “Llan” cme frm the Celtic wrd fr church.
After the Rmans left Britain, it was attacked by tribes called the Angl-Saxns, wh were frm the area f Eurpe that is nw Germany and Hlland. Withut the Rman army, it was impssible t prtect the cuntry frm these peple. The names f their villages ften ended in “-ham” r “-tn”. Sme gt their name frm the leader f the village, s Birmingham, fr example, means “Bermund’s village”.
The Angl-Saxns were farmers and the landscape was very imprtant t them, s we have villages called Uptn (“village n a hill”— a gd place t build a village) and Mretn (“village by lake”, where flds culd make life tugh). Place names that end in “-frd” (a place where yu culd crss a river) als describe the lcatin f Angl-Saxn villages.
Twelve hundred years ag, the Vikings came t England frm Scandinavia. They traded with the Angl-Saxns but lived in their wn villages. These ften ended in “-by” r “-thrpe”. The name “Kirkby” means “a village with a church” and Scunthrpe was the village f a man called Skuma.
Finally, in 1066, England became Nrman — the Nrmans gave us the place name “grange”, which means farm.
And hw abut Lndn? Experts cannt agree. The Rmans called the city Lndinium, but they were nt the first inhabitants. Peple nce believed that the United Kingdm’s capital city gt its name frm the castle f a King called Lud, but this is very unlikely. Our guess tday is that the name cmes frm a Celtic wrd meaning a fast-flwing river. Hwever, like a number f British place names, its histry is lst in time.
59. Accrding t the passage, Stratfrd-upn-Avn is mst likely a twn _______.
A. n a hill B. near a castle
C. built beside a river D. with a church
60. Which f the fllwing shws the crrect rder f the arrival f inhabitants in Britain?
A. The Celts—The Rmans—The Vikings—The Nrmans—The Angl Saxns.
B. The Rmans—The Celts—The Vikings—The Angl Saxns—The Nrmans.
C. The Celts—The Rmans—The Angl Saxns—The Vikings—The Nrmans.
D. The Rmans—The Angl Saxns—The Celts—The Nrmans—The Vikings.
61. Accrding t the passage, where did the name fr Lndn cme frm?
A. It is puzzling and hard t cnfirm fr sure.
B. It cmes frm the term fr a fast-flwing river.
C. The name is shrt fr Lndinium.
D. The name is frm the castle f a King.
Sectin C
Directins: Read the fllwing passage. Fill in each blank with NO MORE THAN 10 wrds.
Hw t read a pem
Petry is a cmbinatin f “sund” and “sense”. Mre than any ther type f literature, it usually implies a deeper meaning beynd the wrds n the page. S, hw t reveal this hidden dimensin?
First, fllw yur ears. While yu may ask “What des it mean?” as yu begin reading a pem, it is better t ask “Hw des it sund?” Even if its true meaning appears t be beynd yur grasp, yu can always say smething abut hw the pem sunds when yu read it alud. Are there any repeated wrds, rhymes r ther special effects? All f these are gd qualities t ntice, and they may lead yu t a better understanding f the pem in the end.
Secnd, apprach the pem as if yu were an explrer in an unfamiliar landscape. Ask sme basic questins abut the pem. Wh is talking? Wh is being talked t? What is being described? Is there a sense f place? Are there ther peple r bjects there? As yu explre the pem, yu will begin t see images in yur mind. What are thse images, and what happens when they are put tgether? As yu slwly explre yur surrundings, yu will start t dig up clues that give yu a greater understanding f the pem.
Yu cannt really understand a pem that yu have nly read nce. If yu are still struggling t interpret the meaning f a pem even with much painstaking effrt, just have sme patience. Smetimes reading a pem can be a lifelng jb. S if yu d nt get it, set the pem aside and cme back t it later. Pems that are easy t understand are ften less interesting than thse that cnstantly reveal deeper and previusly unrecgnized meanings.
Finally, remember that yu d nt have t fully understand a pem t appreciate it. Yu might need t abandn lgical thinking t discver its true inner beauty. As lng as the jurney f petry reading makes yu feel smething, it will have been wrth yur effrt.

Culd a hug a day keep the dctr away? The answer may be a lud “yes!” Besides helping yu feel clse and cnnected t peple yu care abut, it turns ut that hugs can als bring lts f health benefits t yur bdy and mind. Believe it r nt, a warm hug might even help yu avid getting sick this winter.
In a recent study invlving ver 400 healthy adults, researchers frm Carnegie Melln University in Pennsylvania examined the effects f perceived scial supprt and the receipt f hugs n the participants’ develping the cmmn cld after being expsed t the virus. Peple wh perceived greater scial supprt were less likely t cme dwn with a cld, and the researchers calculated that the stress-reducing effects f hugging explained abut 32 percent f that beneficial effect. Even amng thse wh gt a cld, the nes wh felt greater scial supprt and received mre hugs had less severe symptms.
“Hugging prtects peple wh are under stress frm the increased risk fr clds that is usually assciated with stress,” ntes Sheldn Chen, a prfessr f psychlgy at Carnegie. “Hugging is a marker f a very clse relatinship and helps t cause the feeling that thers are there t help in the face f difficulties.”
Sme experts attribute the stress-reducing, health-related benefits f hugging t the release f xytcin（催产素）, ften called “the bnding hrmne”(亲密荷尔蒙), because it prmtes attachment（依恋）in relatinships, including that between mthers and their newbrn babies. Oxytcin is made mainly in the central lwer part f the brain, and sme f it is released int the bldstream. But sme f it remains in the brain, where it influences md, behavir and physilgy.
