Rooms will be cleaned and bedcovers changed at least once a week.You will be given the house key and the host is there to offer help and advice as well as to take an interest in your physical and mental health.Accommodation ZonesHomestays are located in London mainly in Zones 2, 3 and 4 of the transport system. Most hosts do not live in the town centre as much of central London is commercial and not residential. Zones 3 and 4 often offer larger accommodation in a less crowded area. It is very convenient to travel in London by underground.Meal Plans AvailableContinental BreakfastBreakfast and DinnerBreakfast Packed Lunch and DinnerIts important to note that few English families still provide a traditional cooked breakfast. Your accommodation includes Continental Breakfast which normally consists of fruit juice, cereal, bread and tea or coffee. Cheese, fruit and cold meat are not normally part of a Continental Breakfast in England. Dinners usually consist of meat or fish with vegetables followed by dessert, fruit and coffee.FriendsIf you wish to invite a friend over to visit, you must first ask your hosts permission. You have no right to entertain friends in a family home as some families feel it is an invasion of their privacy.SelfCatering Accommodation in Private HomesAccommodation on a roomonly basis includes shared kitchen and bathroom facilities and often a main living room.This kind of accommodation offers an independent lifestyle and is more suitable for the longstay student. However, it does not provide the same family atmosphere as an ordinary homestay and may not benefit those who need to practise English at home quite as much.21The passage is probably written for .Aforeigners hoping to build British cultureBhosts willing to receive foreign studentsCEnglish learners applying to live in English homesDtravellers planning to visit families in London22Which of the following will the host provide?AMedical care.BRoom cleaning.

BTo experience a warmer family atmosphere.CTo enjoy much more freedom. DTo entertain friends as they like.BWhen I was nine years old, I loved to go fishing with my dad. But the only thing that wasnt very fun about it was that he could catch many fish while I couldnt catch anything. I usually got pretty upset and kept asking him why. He always answered, “Son, if you want to catch a fish, you have to think like a fish”， I remember being even more upset then because, “Im not a fish！” I didnt know how to think like a fish. Besides, I reasoned, how could what I think influence what a fish does?As I got a little older I began to understand what my dad really meant. So, I read some books on fish. And I even joined the local fishing club and started attending the monthly meetings. I learned that a fish is a coldblooded animal and therefore is very sensitive to water temperature. That is why fish prefer shallow water to deep water because the former is warmer. Besides, water is usually warmer in direct sunlight than in the shade. Yet, fish dont have any eyelids (眼皮) and the sun huts their eyes.The more I understood fish, the more I became effective at finding and catching them.When I grew up and entered the business world, I remember hearing my first boss say, “We all need to think like sales people.” But it didnt completely make sense. My dad never once said, “If you want to catch a fish you need to think like a fisherman.” What he said was, “You need to think like a fish.” Years later, with great efforts to promote longterm services to people much older and richer than me, I gradually learned what we all need is to think more like customers. It is not an easy job. I will show you how in the following chapters.25Why was the author upset in fishing trips when he was nine?AHe could not catch a fish.BHis father was not patient with him.CHis father did not teach him fishing.DHe could not influence a fish as his father did.26What did the authors father really mean?ATo read about fish.BTo learn fishing by oneself.CTo understand what fish think.DTo study fishing in many ways.27According to the author, fish are most likely to be found .Ain deep water on sunny daysBin deep water on cloudy daysCin shallow water under sunlightDin shallow water under waterside trees28This passage most likely comes from .Aa fishing guideBa popular sales bookCa novel on childhoodDa millionaires biographyCIn the fall of 1985, I was a brighteyed girl heading off to Howard University, aiming at a legal career and dreaming of sitting on a Supreme Court bench somewhere. Twentyone years later I am still a brighteyed dreamer and one with quite a different tale to tell.My grandma, an amazing woman, graduated from college at the age of 65. She was the first in our family to reach that goal. But one year after I started college, she developed cancer. I made the choice to withdraw from college to care for her. It meant that school and my personal dream would have to wait.Then I got married with another dream: building my family with a combination of adopted and biological children. In 1999, we adopted our first son. To lay eyes on him was fantasticand very emotional. A year later came our second adopted boy. Then followed son No.3. In 2003, I gave birth to another boy.You can imagine how fully occupied I became, raising four boys under the age of 8! Our home was a complete zooa joyous zoo. Not surprising, I never did make it back to college fulltime. But I never gave up on the dream either. I had only one choice: to find a way. That meant taking as few as one class each semester.The hardest part was feeling guilty about the time I spent away from the boys. They often wanted me to stay home with them. There certainly were times I wanted to quit, but I knew I should set an example for them to follow through the rest of their lives.In 2007, I graduated from the University of North Carolina. It took me over 21 years to get my college degree!I am not special, just singleminded. It always struck me that when youre looking at a big challenge from the outside it looks huge, but when youre in the midst of it, it just seems normal. Everything you want wont arrive in your life on one day. Its a process. Remember: little steps add up to big dreams.29Why did the author quit school in her second year of college?AShe suffered from a serious illness.BShe decided to look after her grandma.CShe wanted to study by herself.DShe fell in love and got married.30What can we learn about the author from Paragraphs 4 and 5?AShe wanted to remain a fulltime housewife.BShe was too confused to make a correct choice.CShe was busy yet happy with her family life.DShe ignored her guilty feeling for her sons.31What does the author mostly want to tell us in the last paragraph?AEvery coin has two sides.

Theres no doubt that its not good for teens to drink, but how do parents discuss the problem with their kids? Therere some tips below.Find out what your teen knows. Many teenagers believe they cant talk to their parents about drinking or drugs because their parents immediately start with the lecture. Teens are curious about adult things and the only way to find out what your teen knows is to stay openminded and let teens talk about concerns and ideas as they come up. 36 Give “call me” instructions. Your child needs to be told specifically that he can call you no matter what happens. 37 Remind them often.Keep the conversation going. 38 Talking about drugs and alcohol needs to be ongoing so that all aspects are explored thoroughly. When having discussions, listen to your teens point of view. When sharing what you think, try hard not to lecture.Allow for the possibility. 39 By paying attention to the clues youre getting and asking your child what he/she thinks, youll be aware of his/her decisionmaking process. That way, you can handle your concerns before experimentation turns into a problem of habitual use or addiction.Watch for double messages. Teens get far too many double messages about drinking. 40 Teens hate it when they see their parents drunk or using drugs. If you come home from work and say, “I really need a drink，” youre sending the message that alcohol is the way to handle stress and problems.AAllowing for the possibility that your teen might drink lets you employ realistic preventative measures.BTell him over and over.CEducation about drinking does not start and end with one conversation.DThus, you find out what they are thinking and doing.ETell your teen that its OK to never drink.FThey dont need double messages from their parents, either.GOne reason kids drink is to beat boredom.第三部分英语知识运用(共两节，满分45分)第一节完形填空(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。I was required to read one of Bernie Siegels books in college and was hooked on his positivity from that moment on.
