When I found out I was moving to India, it was beyond a nightmare. It was something I couldn’t even imagine. The impression I had of India were only based upon a few summer visits to my grandparents, filled with heat, pollution and dirt. Even though I was only six years old, I know this would be a complete change from my comfortable life in Maryland.

During my first six months in India, my expectations were met almost exactly. I hated my new apartment; I missed my school and friends back in Maryland, and I was sick of all the dirty marketplaces that filled the streets of New Delhi.

After those six months were over I finally realized that I was going to be in India for a while. I knew that I had to start making the most of my new life. It was then that I became completely involved in my school. My school, the American Embassy School, was filled with international students: Europeans, Australians, Chinese, and Americans just like me. But they all welcomed me with open arms. It was amazing to be among such diverse students, who had such incredible experiences to share.

Now, when I look back at my time in India, all I can think about is how fortunate I am to have had such a wonderful experience. My move to India not only allowed me to see a completely different side of the

world, but I was also able to establish unbreakable bonds with so many interesting and amazing people. Even now, after quite some years, I am still in contact with my closest friends from the American Embassy School. I cannot even imagine what I would be like without having lived in India. I would have missed out on meeting so many extraordinary people, and I would be a completely different person today.

4. At the beginning, the author thought it terrible to move to India because he felt__________ .

1. he was too young to go there
2. he couldn’t see his grandparents
3. India was hot and dirty
4. he missed his friends in New Delhi

1. That he needed to make some friends.
2. That he fell in love with his new school.
3. That he missed his motherland.
4. That he had to stay in India longer.

6. After the author returned to Maryland _________

1. he found his life in India worthwhile
2. he hoped to go to India once again
3. he shared his story with his family
4. he wanted to experience another new life

7. What does the author want to tell us about his life in India?

1. It was the hardest time.
2. It changed him a lot.
3. It was comfortable and unforgettable.
4. It made him an interesting man.

Marco Polo

Marco Polo was born in Italy in 1254. A traveller and businessman, he was one of the first Europeans to travel across Asia and into China. His journey lasted 24 years.

He set out, aged 17, with his father Nicolo and his uncle Maffeo on their great journey to China. They sailed south from Venice, Italy and stopped off in the Middle East. They ofen carried on overland to Persia (now Iran), through the Pamir Mountains and the Gobi Desert before they got to Beijing, China.At that time, China was more advanced than Europe. They already had paper, so large numbers of books were available. They also used paper money in many parts of the country.

After he got back to Italy, Marco Polo talked about his experiences in China, and he wrote a book describing the riches of Asia. His book was the first western record of porcelain(瓷器), coal, gunpowder, printing and silk.Unfortunately, not many people believed Polo’s stories and he became known as “the man of a million lies”. He died in 1324.

Jacques Cousteau

Jacques Cousteau was a French undersea explorer, environmentalist and inventor. He was born in France in 1910. When he was young, he was attracted by the sea, machines and filmmaking. In the French navy, Cousteau began exploring underwater and worked on a special breathing machine which allowed divers to stay underwater for several hours. This gave them time to really look around under the ocean. In 1948, Cousteau began travelling the world’s oceans in his research ship Calypso.Cousteau produced many films and books about his underwater experiences, including the TV series The Underwater World of Jacques Cousteau, which introduced the public to the world of sharks, whales, dolphins and treasure.

Cousteau started the Cousteau Society to protect ocean life. In 1989, he received a great honour: he was made a member of the French Academy. Finally, after a long and varied life, Cousteau died on 25^th June, 1997.

1. What do we know about Marco Polo’s trip to China？

1. He travelled all the way by boat.
2. He planned to trade with the East.
3. He travelled with members of his family.
4. He brought advanced technologies to China.

9 What did Marco Polo do after he returned to Italy?

1. He started to sell books.
2. He taught people to make paper.
3. He made up stories to fool people.
4. He recorded his experiences in China.

2. He invented his research ship Calypso.
3. He was really interested in China.
4. He published books about his family life.

Thinking about the future isn’t special skill. Actually, everyone does it all the time. We schedule future activities and appointments on our calendars. We make to-do lists, a promise to ourselves of how we will spend our future time and energy. We look up the weekend’s weather. We make predictions about the results of sporting events. We practice, study and train for upcoming events that matter to us. We daydream about events we’re eagerly looking forward to. We worry about others.

Most of this common future thinking is about the near future: the next few minutes, hours, days, weeks, months or maybe even the next few years of our lives. Little time is spent thinking about what our lives will be like or what actions we should prepare to take in the far future: ten years, twenty years, or even fifty years from now. This kind of far-future thinking is the domain of professional futurists.

Futurists are trained to imagine distant realities that seem impossible to others: technologies that don’t exist yet, great changes to laws, strange diseases most likely to infect us in the year 2031. Why indeed think about such distant futures? Are there psychological and social benefits to imagining the world, and our lives, decades in advance? And if so, what does it take to become good at imagining the far future?

These were the fascinating questions that we recently explored with other futurists. I was personally inspired by the discussions, and learned a lot about how futurists imagine the future of life. They specifically wanted to use their imaginations to make the world a better place. Another big benefit for me was that this way of thinking is a skill that can be taught. Society would benefit greatly if we all learned the valuable skills that enable us to think about what things would be like in the future.

12. The writer gives many examples in the first paragraph to __________.

1. draw readers' attention B. explain the topic
   C. entertain readers D. tell readers the main idea of the passage
   13. The underlined word,"domain", in the second paragraph can be replaced by “_________”.
   1. understanding B. choice C. field D. rule

14. Which of the following things might a futurist think about?

1. The result of sporting event being held.
2. The weather of the coming weekend.

C.A new technology widely used in daily life.

D. A life-threatening disease that doesn't exist yet.

15. What does the writer want to tell us in the last paragraph?

1. The way futurists imagine the future of life is interesting.
2. Society will benefit a lot if we all train ourselves to think as a futurist.

C. It is impossible for us to think about future things as futurists.

D.The idea of using imagination to make the world a better place is ridiculous.

On a hot summer day, there are few things that are more wonderful than a nice cool pool.

16________________ And it is completely relaxing. Of course, if you have children, there are certain measures you should take to keep them safe, whether you have a pool in your backyard or you are going to a public pool.

Dear Sir or Madam，

I’m sorry to trouble you but I’m afraid that I have to make a complaint about the novel Pride and Prejudice, which I bought from your website on March 1^st.

Much to my disappointment, the novel was so poorly packed that the cover was torn when it reached me. What’s worse, some pages are missing, which I think is unacceptable. It’s beyond belief to have received such poor service and I insist that you either replace the novel with a new one and apologize to me or give my money back. I’d be grateful if you could settle my complaint as soon as possible.

Thank you for your consideration. Your early reply will be highly appreciated.
