A

After 21 years of marriage, my wife wanted me to take another woman out to dinner and a movie. The other woman was my mother. It was 19 years since my father had passed away. However, the demands of my work and my three children had made it possible to visit her only occasionally.

That Friday after work, when I arrived at her house, my mother was waiting in the door with her coat on. She had done her hair and was wearing the dress that she had worn to celebrate her last wedding anniversary.

We went to a restaurant that, although not elegant, was very nice and comfortable. My mother took my arm as if she were the First Lady. During the dinner, we had an agreeable conversation about nothing extraordinary but just caught up on recent events. We talked so much that we missed the movie.

As we arrived at her house later, she said， “I’ll go out with you again, but only if you let me invite you.” I agreed. A few days later, my mother died of a serious heart attack. It happened so suddenly that I didn’t have a chance to do anything for her.

Sometime later, I received an envelope with a copy of a restaurant receipt from the same place where mother and I had dined. An attached note said: “I paid this bill in advance. I wasn’t sure whether I could be there; still, I paid for two plates – one for you and the other for your wife. You will never know what that night meant for me. I love you, Son.”

At that moment, I understood the importance of saying “I love you” and of giving our loved ones the time they deserve. Nothing in life is more important than family. Give family members the attention they deserve, because these things cannot be put off till some “other” time.

   About three decades ago, China was known as the “Bicycle Kingdom”. But later on bikes were replaced by their fuel-powered competitors.
   But recent months have seen a popularity of bikes across China, with an increasing number of people choosing cycling instead of driving to schools, to workplaces or to do sightseeing. The introduction of sharing bikes, pioneered by start-ups (新创办的公司)like Ofo and Mobike, has brought the trend to a new level.
   People can unlock the shared bikes by simply using their smartphones. The bikes are equipped with GPS and can be left anywhere in public for the next user. They’re popular among many Chinese people as they provide an effective solution to the “last mile” problem, which refers to the final part of a person’s journey.
   “In places where the subway doesn’t arrive, where it’s difficult to change from one kind of transport to another, it’s so easy to get where you want to go with Mobike,” Hu Hong, 29, told AFP. She pedals to her work.
   However, the plan has also led to various problems. Last month, two nurses in Beijing were placed under administrative punishment for five days for putting locks on two shared bikes. And in December, a man who stole a shared bike was sentenced to 3 month in prison, and fined 1,000 yuan by the Shanghai Minhang People’s Court.
   “Bike-sharing is a greener method of transportation,” said Liu Xiaoming, vice-minister of transport. “But it’s a connection of online and offline business. Operators are usually strong in online services, but lack (缺少) offline business experience, which causes problems.” To deal with these problems, the company came up with the idea of encouraging people to return the bikes to stations by rewarding free time for their next rides.
8. Who has made the use of bikes popular again?
   1. The pioneered start-ups.
   2. The students and workers.
   3. The local government.
   4. The businessman.
9. Which of the following doesn’t belong to the “last mile” problem?

1. Missing the business plane for traffic jam.
   B. Getting to somewhere the subway doesn’t reach.
   C. Having trouble in changing from a bus to a taxi.
   D. Having difficulty with the final part of a person’s travel.
   10. What reason causes many problems in bike-sharing?
   1. There are no laws on this business at the moment.
   2. Operators have no enough offline business experience.
   3. The bike-sharing business is too difficult to run.
   4. Some people do damage to the bikes on purpose.

11. What can we learn from the passage?

1. Cycling is free of charge.
2. Riding bikes comes into fashion again.
3. There are some laws against bike-sharing.
4. A new smartphone disappears in our life.
   D
   Sooner or later, most students are to take some form of English examinations. Often the more successful students are better prepared. However, sometimes students who do well have better test taking skills. These abilities really have nothing to do with understanding English better. They are skills that make taking the test easier, and therefore provide better results.
   Here are some very important — and often forgotten — instructions to taking a test successfully.
   Do not insist on completing each question before going to the next. This is extremely important. Remember one question may only be worth one point! You will become nervous when you fail to find out its answer, making you lose your concentration and leading to worse results. However, answering the questions you are sure you know results in your being more relaxed and feeling more confident.
   Go through the test a second time working out the answers to more difficult questions. Sometimes questions asked are answered in later questions asking for different things.
   Usually(but not always) a strong first impression means we know the answer and we don’t really have to think about it too much. Going back to think about it usually makes you unsure and often causes a mistake. This is very common, so be very careful!
   If you don’t know the answer, write something. If you are answering a 4 possibility multiple choice question you will still have a 25% chance of being correct!
   Taking a test is as much for you as is for your teacher, so never cheat. If you cheat, you don’t help yourself in the long run.
   12. In the first paragraph, the writer attaches importance to ______.
   1. better preparations for exams

B. better understanding of English

C. better skills at taking exams

D. better results of taking exams

13. When taking an exam, you are advised ______.

1. to finish every question before going to the next
   B. to first answer the questions which are easier to you
   C. to search the test paper for all the answers to the questions
   D. to give up the questions whose answers you don’t know
   14. It is common that many students______.
   A. pay much attention to their testing skills
   B. often give up a difficult test halfway
   C. often get higher results by cheating
   D. don’t believe in their first impression
   15. What would be the best title of the passage?
   1. Effective Studying Skills

B. Being Successful Students

C. Effective Test Taking Skills

D. Getting Better Exam Results

参考范文：

Dear Wang Qiang,

I’m sorry to hear that you have trouble with your spoken English. Don’t worry! Here is some of my advice on how to improve it.

First of all, nothing is better than drills. Therefore, in class you’d better seize every opportunity to express your ideas, while after class it’s a good idea to communicate with your classmates in English. Keep in mind practice makes perfect. Besides, don’t be afraid of making mistakes and being laughed at by others. On the contrary, be confident and brave to show yourself. Finally, it is the persistence that will make a difference to your spoken English. In other words, as long as you keep on speaking English, you are sure to make progress in spoken English.

Yours sincerely,

Li Hua
