Students and parents are invited to spend a whole day in Oxford, attending events, talking to staff and students and getting answers to any questions which remain after examining prospectuses（简章）and websites.To book or not to bookUnlike many other university open days, it is not compulsory to book to attend an Oxford open day. Many events are offered on a drop-in basis.What to expect on the dayMany departments run their main open day events in the morning so you may choose to start with a visit to your subject department.

Many events will be very busy and latecomers will not always be able to join. Please do not try to drive between venues - there is no parking available and traffic on open days is typically extremely heavy.Disabled visitorsAnyone with a mobility impairment may borrow a free wheelchair to travel around Oxford city centre via Oxford Shop mobility.

I went to the woods to have one last talk with my grandfather.“Grandfather,” I said, “Can you give me one good reason not to quit?“Look around fern (蕨类植物) and the bamboo. When I planted the fern and the bamboo seeds, I took good care of them. I gave them light and water. The fern quickly grew from the earth. Its brilliant green covered the floor. Yet nothing came from the bamboo seed. But I did not quit on the bamboo.In the second year the fern grew more plentiful. Nothing came from the bamboo seed. But I did not quit on it.In year three there was still nothing from the bamboo seed. But I would not quit. The same was in year four.Then in the fifth year, a tiny sprout emerged from the earth. Compared with the fern, it was seemingly small and insignificant. But just six months later, the bamboo rose to over 100 feet tall. It had spent the five years growing roots. Those roots made it strong and gave it what it needed to survive. I would not give any of my creations a challenge it could not handle.Did you know you have actually been growing roots? I would not quit on the bamboo. I will never quit on you. Dont compare yourself to others. Yet they both make the forest beautiful. You will rise high.” my grandfather said.“How high should I rise?” I asked.“How high will the bamboo rise?” he asked in return.“As high as it can?” I questioned.“Yes,” he said, “Give me glory by rising as high as you can.”I left the forest, realizing that good days give you happiness; bad days give you experiences; both are essential to life. Never regret a day in your life.28.

Whats the passage mainly talking about?A. The Fern and the Bamboo B. Grandson and GrandfatherC. Essential Parts of Life D. Good Days and Bad DaysDEveryone was afraid of the Red Death- everyone except the fearless Prince Prospero. He refused to be troubled by it. Although half the people of his country had already died from this terrible disease, he continued to enjoyed life to the full. One day he decided to invite a thousand of his strong and brave friends to stay with him in one of his castles, far out in the countryside. There the Red Death would not be able to reach them.Prince Prosperos ball (舞会), although given in these strange rooms, was wild and happy. The Prince had planned everything- the colors, the paintings on the walls, even the cloaks (斗篷) and masks. He had chosen all the clothes with the greatest care, putting together the beautiful and ugly, the strange and fantastic (奇异的), the surprising and frightening.All men and women were dressed like a terrible dream. And in and out of the rooms these dreams walked and danced, their clothes changing color each time they entered a different room. But no one was brave enough to enter the black room. As the night passed and the fires burned brighter, the colors and shapes in this room became more horrible than ever. The black carpet and walls seems full of gloom (忧伤), and the deep chimes (报时) of the black clock sounded even more frightening.But the other six rooms were full of life and pleasure. People were dancing and singing, talking and laughing, and the wild noise of a thousand happy men and women rang through the castle. Then came the hour of midnight, and once again dancers and musicians became still and silent, as the clock slowly rang the twelve long chimes of midnight. And because the twelve chimes took a long time to ring, each person had more time to think, and feel uncomfortable. They also had time before the last chime had sounded, to notice a masked person, who had not been there before. The first person who saw the stranger told the next person, who told another and in a few minutes a cry of fear and horror rose up from the crowd (人群).Now you will remember that everyone at the ball was wearing strange cloaks and masks, which belonged (属于) more to the world of dream and wild imagination than to everyday life. So why, you may ask, this horror, and this fear? But even in the cruelest heart, there are some fears too terrible to laugh at. The tall thin figure of the stranger was dressed from head to foot in the white clothes of the dead. And the mask over the face was frighteningly real- it was the face of a dead man. Worse still, the face and the body were covered with red, horrible blood! Here, in the middle of all that dancing and happiness was a living picture of the Red Death!When Prince Prospero saw the masked stranger, his face became white with fear. Then his fear turned into anger and he shouted out, “ Whos that? Who is mad enough to play games with us, and with death, in this way? Take hold of him, and pull off his mask. I want to see the face of the man who, tomorrow, will hang from the castle roof.”31. Why did Prince Prospero decide to have a party?A. Because half the people of his country had been killed.B. Because he wanted to show he was not afraid of the Red Death.C. Because his castle was so far out that the Red Death was unable to get them.D. Because he preferred an enjoyable life no matter what happened.32. Why were the people at the party described as “a terrible dream”?A. Because they walked and danced in a terrible way.B. Because what Prince Prospero chose was strange.C. Because their clothes were always changing colors.D. Because they didnt want to wake up.33. According to the passage, what would happen every midnight?A. The Red Death appeared in the middle of the castle and frightened everyone.B. People became quiet and still, waiting for the chimes to end.C. People told each other about the Red Death.D. A cry of fear and horror rose up from the crowd.34. Why did the stranger look so horrible to the others?A. Because this person was wearing cloaks and masks.B. Because this person hadnt been in the castle before.C. Because this person was dressed in white.D. Because this person was covered with blood.35. It can be inferred from the passage that _.A. All the seven rooms were filled with happiness and pleasure.B. The Red Death was in the castle from the beginning to the end.C. Prince Prospero was in fact afraid of the Red Death.D. Someone played a joke with Prince Prospero.第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）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。选项中有两项为多余选项。Why is it so hard to adopt good habits like everyday exercising or eating healthy foods?
