Boarding schools started hundreds of years ago in the country. But the earliest boarding schools were set up for white, rich boys only. Now both boys and girls can go to boarding schools from the age of 7 to 18.What to doIn the UK, boarding schools have three terms in a school year, with about 13 weeks in each term. Students study and live together. They cant go outside if they are not allowed to. In some schools, each student has his or her subject plan. Besides the usual classrooms and laboratories, the boarding schools have lots of other facilities for their students, including music rooms, boats, swimming pools, cinemas and theatres. Most boarding schools have a “light out” time. So when its time to go to bed, all the lights in the bedrooms are turned off. There are house-masters to take care of students all the time, especially after school hours.What to wearNearly all students at boarding schools wear a school uniform. Boys usually wear a shirt and a tie, and girls wear a white blouse, sometimes also a tie and a skirt. As students get older, the rules become less strict. _ In the UK, boarding schools provide students with delicious food. They can choose to have a full English breakfast or simply bread. They can also choose between a meal with no meat and another meal at lunch and dinner. And there is always self-service for salad (沙拉), other side dishes and a dessert. Students can also make themselves something to eat at any time in a kitchen, or drink tea or have a snack between meals. 31. Which of the following is TRUE according to (根据) the passage?A. Only white children were allowed to attend the earliest boarding schools.B. Students in a boarding school are looked after only after school hours.C. As students get older, the rules about wearing school uniforms become stricter.D. Students can have different activities in a boarding school.32. Which is the best title for the last paragraph?A. What to eat B. When to eat C. Where to eat D. How to eat33. The underlined word facilities means _.A. 教师 B. 设施 C. 活动 D. 课程B When I was a foreign teacher in China, every day I taught English to my students and they taught me about China. One day the topic turned to saying “I love you”. I was shocked to learn that not one of my students had said this to their mothers, nor had their mothers said it to them. “Does your mom love you?” “Of course ,”they answered.“How do you know ?”was my logical question. They responded that their moms cooked and always told them what they were doing wrong to show their caring. I was stunned .So moms cooking and criticizing read out as “I love you ”. “Then how do you say I love you to her?” They agreed that getting good grades, followed by god jobs would be how they showed their love. I come from a culture where most people are expressive enough, so I repeated these queries in classes over time. Gradually, I began to get different response. Some of them had exchanged those sentiments with their moms.One of my favorite stories of change came from a girl. When she came home from university, her mother met her at the door and hugged（拥抱）her. This had never happened before ,but her mom said, “Now that you have gone I have more time to myself. I noticed that in some places mothers and children hug each other and I decided it was a good idea and that I would begin hugging you.”In my family we all say “I love you” a lot .While it is true that we often say the words without having great depth of feelings at that moment, it is almost like a blessing we give each other. Those three little words carry a world of meaning ,even when said as a greeting, but most especially if they are the last words we say to or hear from those we love. 34.The foreign teacher_.A. comes from AmericaB. is a young womanC. is expressive enoughD. knows much about China35.Chinese people prefer to show love by_.A. saying “I love you” B. cookingC. getting good gradesD. doing something helpful;36.In paragraph 4,whats the real meaning of the moms hugging?A. She is meeting her daughter at the door.B. She loves her daughter and misses her.C. She is glad that she has more time to herselfD. She finds it interesting to hug her daughter.37.Whats the main idea of the passage?A. Say “I love you” more to your family.B. Say “I love you ”a lot to Chinese people .C. Say “I love you ”as a greeting to others. D. Say “I love you ”without great depth of feelings.CWhen we talk about stars ,especially women stars ,it seems that they are always young, pretty and own charming body shapes. But recently a Britains Got Talent（英国达人）star Susan Boyle has changed our views absolutely.Simon Cowell ,one of the judges of the talent show spoke of his shock over Ms Boyles voice. “This lady camp up ,and Im thinking, This will take five seconds and I can go to have a cup of tea. That changed when she began to sing I Dreamed to Dream from Les Miserables. She knew we were going to have that reaction and just to see that look of satisfaction on her face widway through it was one of my favorite moments,” Cowell said. The performance was posted on line and before long, the 47-year-old Scottish woman has been famous all over the world.Speaking from her home in Scotland, Ms Boyle said that she hasnt thought of changing her appearance. She said that her friend helped her with make-up. “I mean ,thats hardly a makeover,” she added.Ms Boyle also spoke of the reason she first began to explore her vocal talents, “I was kind of slow at school, so getting like singing was a good way of hiding behind that and thus it built my confidence.”38.Susan Boyle is _ A.a judgeB.a reporterC.a beautifulD.a Scottish woman39.Susan Boyle had a look of satisfaction on her face when she was singing because_.A.she was confident of her singingB.she was satisfied with the judgesC.she was pretty and in good shape D.she sang the song I Dreamed a Dream from Les Miserables40.According to the passage, which is NOT true?A.It was the vocal talents that built Susans confidenceB.Susan Boyle was not good at her lesson when at school.C.Susan Boyle became famous because of her appearance.D.Simon Cowell didnt think Susan Boyle a good singer at the first sight.41.What can we learn from Susan Boyles successA.Its never too old to learn.B.Its easier to succeed at the age of 47.C.If you have a dream, try to make it come true!D.If you are not able to study well, to be a singer instead.DWho wants to carry a bulky bag to school? No children. Nobody wants one shoulder to be lower than the other, and paining（疼痛）too. In India, most of us would look at the reduction（减少）of textbooks as a way out. But in a country like America, there are always more choices. A company called goReader has created a school bag which is the size of a laptop computer（笔记本电脑）, weighing about 2.5 kg. The goReader has a color screen and can hold all the textbooks that a student may need, says a report in The Asian Age newspaper. The company plans to work closely with the publishers（出版商） of textbooks so that these books can be supplied on the Internet. All the students will have to do is to download（下载） their textbooks. Making notes and marking important parts of a lesson can be done just as lots of students have done on their textbooks before. At present, the plan is being tested out in a university. Richard Katzmann, the owner of the company is having his creation tested at Chicagos DePaul University, where he studied. Does that mean it is goodbye to the new paper, and the smell of the black ink? 42. What does the underlined word “bulky” in the first line mean?A. lightB. smallC. big and heavyD. old43. What would Indians do to solve（解决）the problem?A. They would reduce the textbooks.B. They would tell the parents to help students.C. They would tell the teachers to help students.D.
