       He met her at a party. She was outstanding while he was so normal. After the party, he invited her for coffee. She was surprised but being polite, she agreed.
       As they sat in a nice coffee shop, he was too nervous to say anything and she felt uncomfortable. Suddenly, he asked the waiter, “Could you please give me some salt? I’d like to put it in my coffee. ” Everyone stared at him. He turned red, but when the salt came, he put it in his coffee and drank. Curious, she asked, “Why salt with coffee? ” He explained, “ When I was a little boy, I lived near the sea. I liked playing on the sea. I could feel the taste of sea, just like this salty coffee. ”

I was so nervous that I asked for salt instead of sugar. It was hard for me to ask for a change, so I just went ahead. I never thought that could be the start of our conversation. I tried to tell you the truth, but I was afraid that it would ruin everything. I don’t like the salty coffee. But I have had the salty coffee for my whole life just because I love you!
       Her tears made the letter totally wet. Someday, someone asked her, “What’s the taste of salty coffee?” She replied, “It’s sweet.”

Not only fashion and music are making a return—houses built in 1970s have proven to be better at cutting energy waste than those built today. The “tea cosy (茶壶套)” design, created in the mid-1970s and built in the early 1980s for low-income people, could provide a blueprint for meeting the Government aims of producing less CO₂ from homes.

The 200 houses were designed to provide low-energy housing, and depend on an inner concrete (水泥) structure that holds in heat, protected by highly insulated (隔热的) setting which produces a “tea cosy” effect. The ordinary-looking houses also depend on more windows on south-facing sides, with northerly facing doors protected by porches (门廊).

A study found the houses are 50 percent more energy efficient than the average home and use a quarter of the average energy for space heating. According to researchers, they use less than two-thirds of the power of homes built to meet 2010 building demands. And they will still be 25 percent more efficient than houses built to even more strict proposed demands for 2013. The design is one of the few that will be able to meet 2016 demands for zero-carbon homes.

They were in the beginning fixed with just one or two gas heaters per home, although most now have central heating, depending on the heat from the sun and high insulation to keep steady temperatures inside the house. To be comfortable, they only need to use heating for three to four months a year, compared with seven months for UK home on average, and can be lived with no heating at all.

With many house builders at present worrying that new homes are going to be much more expensive to build in order to meet the Government’s ambitious targets, the“tea cosy”model meets this need perfectly.

19. The underlined word“blueprint”is closest in meaning to _________.

1. photo B. model C. service D. map

20. The writer develops Paragraph 3 mainly by_________.

1. analyzing data
2. giving examples
3. presenting reasons
4. making comparisons

21. According to the passage, “tea cosy” houses are better at __________.

1. saving heat for energy efficiency
2. producing solar energy at home
3. designing and building materials
4. saving building materials and energy

C

One of the Queen’s closest relatives and oldest friends was allowed to give a deep description into the family life of the Royals. Although there have been hundreds of other books declaring to offer a quick look behind the Palace doors, this is the first written by someone who is closely related to the Royal Family and has shared their lives—not only throughout the Queen’s reign (统治) but also through that of her father, King George VI.

The Final Curtsey was written by her Majesty’s cousin and childhood playmate the Honorable Margaret Rhodes. It tells in details the story of Mrs. Rhodes’s relationship with the Royal family over eight decades. The book, with delightfully informal and never-before-seen pictures, has been written with the full knowledge of the Queen, who has read and approved parts of it.

Born in 1925, the Honorable Margaret Rhodes has led an extraordinary life. She was the childhood playmate of her cousin, the Queen; a wartime M16 spy; and she was a lady-in- waiting (宫女) to her aunt, the Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, from 1991 until the latter’s death in 2002. At the Queen’s 80^th birthday in April 2006, Margaret gave an interview to the BBC which she proved that, in her own opinion and despite several false reports, the Queen would not abdicate(退位).

In this charming autobiography (自传)，she told how she was offered a house to live in the Royal farm in Windsor Great Park unexpectedly. One day when she and the Queen were out riding outside, she suddenly returned and said, “Could you bear to live in the suburb?” “I think it should be OK.” Therefore Mrs. Rhodes is now still living there.

22. Compared with other books about the Royal Family, the biggest advantage of The Final Curtsey is that _______.

1. its author is very famous
2. its author knows the Queen well
3. it presents reader a very different Queen
4. it has pictures that have never been seen
   23. When Mrs. Rhodes was offered to live in the Royal farm, she was _______.
   1. unhappy B. surprised C. sad D. disappointed

24. We can learn from Paragraph 3 that Mrs. Rhodes ________.

1. has lived quite a long life
2. was so famous that BBC interviewed her
3. has a close relationship with the royal family
4. has been very busy and kept on changing jobs
   25. The passage is mainly about________.
   来源： A. a book about royal family B. the Queen’s life
   C. the life of Margaret Rhodes D. the Queen’s abdication

   根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项是多余选项。
   Are you addicted to computer games? Do you stay up all night playing them? 26 But should we worry about their effects on our health?
   Choices are various when it comes to gaming: 27 And there are shooting games where you can let out your anger and frustration in violent situations where you kill people with guns.
   28 Popular games like Grand Theft Auto have been blamed for everything from falling results at school to provoking(激起) acts of extreme violence. Internet safety advisor, Alan MacKenzie, thinks “many people understandably will just think that a game is just a game and not realising the obvious content that’s in there”.
   29 There is evidence that playing video games could actually be good for us. Studies have also shown that the skills used in playing games can cause growth in certain areas of the brain, the ability to think in 3D and even improve our eyesight.
   Video gamers are also no longer just creatures playing alone. For some, gaming is having a positive effect on their social lives with games like Halo often being played in groups. 30 So it seems today, gaming, if used in moderation(有节制地), we can all take part.
   1. Can these kinds of games really be fun and can being absorbed in virtual reality be good for us?
   2. When your group works together to win the game, your sense of achievement is higher than when winning by yourself.
   3. There’s no doubt that the excitement and sophistication of games these days makes them hard to put down.
   4. It is widely accepted that playing games does harm to growing teens.
   5. You can role play – creating your own fantasy characters and stories, giving you a chance to step out of everyday life into an imaginary world.
   6. You might play games so as to get rid of the might academic pressure.
   7. Others will argue that gaming is a harmless form of entertainment.

阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。

In a small village, the parents of a little boy were very depressed due to his bad temper(脾气). The boy used to get angry very easily and hurt others with his words. While he forgot what he spoke in anger, his friends and neighbours avoided him.

His mother and father tried many ways to make him give up his anger and develop kindness. Unfortunately, all their attempts failed. Finally, the boy’s father came up with an idea.

One day, his father gave him a huge bag of nails, asking him to hammer one nail to the fence every time he lost his temper. The little boy found it funny and accepted what his father had said.

His anger drove him to hammer 30 nails into the fence on the first day! Over the next few days, the little boy found it very difficult to hammer the nails into the fence and decided to control his temper.

Gradually, the number of nails hammered into the fence was reduced and the day arrived when he hammered none!

Now, his father told him to remove the nails every day as he had controlled his anger. Several days passed and the boy was able to pull out most of the nails from the fence.

The father appreciated him and asked him, pointing to one of the holes, “What do you see there?”

The boy replied, “A hole in the fence?”

He told the boy, “The nails were your bad temper and they were hammered into people. You can remove the nails but still see the holes in the fence. The fence never looks the same! It has scars all over! Your bad temper and anger were like that! Use words for good. Use them to show your heart!”

(Text 9)

I wasn’t too fond of the lecture classes of 400 students in my general courses. Halfway through my second term, when I was considering whether or not to come back in the fall, I went on the internet and came across AmeriCorps. Then I joined the organization. And that was what I did last school year. I worked on making roads, building a house, serving as a teacher’s assistant, and working as a camp officer in several projects in South Carolina and Florida. It's been a great experience. And I've almost learned more than what I could have in college. Since I didn’t really want to be at that school and I wasn’t interested in my major anyway, I think this was better for me. After 1,700 hours of service, I received 4,750 dollars. I can use that to pay off the money I borrowed from the banks or for what I need when I go back to school this fall at Columbus State in Ohio. Classes are smaller there, and I’ll be majoring in German education. After working with the kids, now I know I want to be a teacher.
