While most people were warming up their cars, Trevor, my husband, had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometers away from home to work. On arrival, he parked his bike outside the back door as he usually does. After putting in 10 hours of labor, he returned to find his bike gone. The bike, a black Kona 18 speed, was our only transport. Trevor used it to get to work, putting in 60-hour a week to support his young family. And the bike was also used to get groceries（食品杂货）, saving us from having to walk long distances from where we live. I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I wrote to the newspaper and told them our story. Shortly after that, several people in our area offered to help. One wonderful stranger even bought a bike, then called my husband to pick it up. Once again my husband had a way to get to and from his job. It really is an honor that a complete stranger would go out of their way for someone they have never met before. People say that a smile can be passed from one person to another, but acts of kindness from strangers are even more so. This experience has had a spreading effect in our lives because it strengthened our faith in humanity（人性） as a whole. And it has influenced（影响） us to be more mindful（注意的，留神的）of ways we, too, can share with others. No matter how big or how small, an act of kindness shows that someone cares. And the results can be everlasting.56. Why was the bike so important to the couple? A. They used it for work and daily life. B. It was their only possession. C. It was a nice Kona 18 speed. D. The mans job was bike racing.57. We can infer from the text that _.A. the couple worked 60 hours a week B. people were busy before ChristmasC. the stranger brought over the bike D. life was hard for the young family58. What does the underlined phrase mean? A. go very far to see someone. B. walk out on foot to greet someone. C. help someone with ones best. D. enjoy the moment with someone59. What do the couple learn from their experience?A. Strangers are usually of little help. B. One should take care of their bike.C. News reports make people famous. D. An act of kindness can mean a lot.BA new study has found no evidence that sunscreen, commonly used to reduce the risk of skin caner, actually increases the risk.Researchers from the University of lows based their findings on a review of 18 earlier studies that looked at the association between sunscreen use and melanomas(黑素瘤). They said that they found flaws in studies that had reported associations between sunscreen use and higher risk of melanoma.Most health experts believe that by protecting the skin from the harmful effects of the sun, sunscreen help prevent skin cancer, which is increasing in incidence (发生率) faster than any other cancer in the United States.But questions have been raised about sunscreen and whether it may have the opposite effect, perhaps by allowing people to remain exposed to the sun longer without burning.The researchers said that among the problems with some earlier studies is that they often failed to take into account that those people most at risk for skin cancerpeople with fair skin and freckles （雀斑）,for exampleare more likely to use sunscreen. As a result, it may appear that sunscreen users get cancer more often.The studies, which generally relied on volunteers to recall their sunscreen use, were also unable to prove how well the products had been applied, said the new study.60.The underlined word “flaws” in the 2nd paragraph most probably means .A. evidencesB. factsC. faultsD. failures61.We can learn from the passage that .A. sunscreen users get skin cancer more oftenB. the volunteers have proved the effect of sunscreenC. the new study was based on the experiences of volunteersD. the number of skin cancer patients is increasing in America62.Which of the following can be the best title for this passage?A. Sunscreen to Prevent Skin CancerB. Sunscreen to Increase Skin CancerC. Skin Cancer Caused by SunscreenD. Skin Cancer Caused by FrecklesCA recent surve高考资源网y of teachers found that an unhealthy passion with celebrity(名人) culture is having a negative impact on British students studies and it discovered that celebrity couple, the Beckhams, are the favorites among most students. Many students are ignoring building their own careers to seek a chance at fame instead, the Association of Teachers and Lecturers (ATL) survey found.Almost two-thirds of teachers said sports stars were the type of celebrity many pupils wanted to follow while more than half of students wanted to be pop stars.The survey said the celebrities that students aspired to mostly were David and Victoria Beckham who live in Los Angeles now. Soccer player Beckham is on the top of the survey while in second place, with almost a third of the surveys votes, was his 33-year-old pop star wife.Almost half of the 300 teachers surveyed said pupils tried to look like or behave like the celebrities they most admired, with some girls even dressing unsuitably.We are not surprised about the influence of celebrity culture in schools it reflects the current media passion with celebrities and the effect of celebrity culture on society as a whole, ATL general secretary Mary Bousted said in a statement.Celebrities can have a positive effect on pupils. They can raise pupils aspirations and desires for the future. However, celebrity culture can spread the idea that celebrity status is the greatest achievement and reinforce the belief that other career choices are not as valuable, said one primary school teacher. Too many of the pupils believe that school success is unnecessary, because they will be able to get fame and fortune quite easily through a reality TV show.63. The story mainly tells us that _.A. the Beckhams are mostly admired in BritainB. most students think that being pop stars is more valuable than other career achievementsC. the celebrity passion has a harmful impact upon British students studies D. a survey was made recently about the popularity of the stars64.

These days, host families are trying to offer more in terms of quality, for they still have something to worry about.Host family accommodation is often seen as the number-one choice for its advantages in language study, cultural communication and cost of living. Staying alongside host families enables students to get enough practice for the short time of their studying so that their language acquisition is likely to become faster. Living in host families also has the advantage for students of being able to spend a lot of time communicating with their host parents, and get to know the local way of life, people and culture. Another advantage is that host family accommodation can sometimes be the least expensive. It attracts students because it ensures them a family type of living at a low cost.The advantages, however, have not prevented host families form worrying. On one hand, some host families are losing their unique selling point. The problem is that the majority of hosts in big cities, now generally single and young, have less times available for students but the selling point for host family accommodation is communication practice. One the other hand, students expectations have risen. They are becoming more demanding and asking for more than ever from their accommodation, as they come mainly from high socio-economic groups in their own countries.To get out of the difficult situation, host families are now making efforts to improve the quality of service. They are trying to making living conditions better, including broadband Internet service, private bathroom, and access to plenty of hot water for long showers. They are also providing students with structured family activities.It is believed that host family accommodation will keep the popularity vote with language travel students.Title: Host family accommodationThemeHost families are 69 the accommodation quality. 66 Language studyIt is 70 that language study will become faster.Cultural communication 71 with hostsKnowing the local people, culture and their way of life 72 of livingBeing least expensive sometimes 67 Loss of selling pointHosts having 73 time for students.Rise in expectationStudents becoming more demanding 68 Service quality improvementBettering 74 conditionOrganizing structured family activitiesConclusion Host family accommodation will keep the 75 vote with students.六. 单词拼写(共10题， 每小题0.5分， 满分5分)76.The group is made up of local_(音乐家) who have been performing together for several years. 77.
