However, Britain is quite an expensive place to study and live in. Tuition fees have now reached 9,250 a year and students also face some of the highest living costs in the world.Fortunately, there are a number of countries where universities offer degree programs entirely in English, along with the chance to learn the local language while you live there. Here are three of the options broken down in detail.University of AmsterdamThe Dutch capital is not a cheap city to live in, but standard tuition fees of 1,800 a year make it significantly cheaper than a British degree. There are 14 bachelors degrees on offer that are taught in English, including Political Science, Economics & Business Economics and Actuarial Science. Nearly all Dutch people speak English, making it an easy country to get by in.Tianjin UniversityMoving to China is not for the faint hearted. Undergraduate degree courses at Tianjin last four years. Living costs are only around 400 a month and tuition fees are 2,300 a year. Flights will cost 3,600 over the four years. The total cost, at 28,800, is still around half that of a three-year degree in Britain. Tianjin is one of the worlds latest cities and is only a half-hour train ride from Beijing. Three undergraduate programs are offered in English: Chemical Engineering, Environment & Energy and Pharmaceutical Science.University of MilanThe University of Milans fees range from 140 to 3,650 a year. The one bachelors degree offered entirely in English-Political Science is a three-year course. While living costs in Milan are high, the significantly lower fees make it a cheaper option than a British university.1. Where can you major in Political Science?A. London and Tianjin. B. Amsterdam and London.C. Amsterdam and Milan.D. Tianjin and Milan.2. What is probably the total cost of a three-year degree in Britain?A. 14,400B. 27,750C. 57,600 D. 28,8003. What is the purpose of the text?A. To introduce some affordable universities. B. To encourage people to study abroad.C. To advertise some degree programs. D. To compare tuition fees and living costs.BTwo summers ago I was about to turn fifty and wanted to do something Id never done before. My daughter Bailey thought skydiving (跳伞) would be perfect for me. I can promise you that of all the things I was thinking of doing, jumping out of an airplane never came close to making the list. As I age, I seem to have developed a growing fear of heights.After several requests from my daughter, I finally said yes and she looked almost shocked. I told a friend what we were doing, then we set off. We had a 3-hour drive to the jump site. We drove through some beautiful countryside, but then we passed a small cemetery (墓地)Then we passed another cemetery and another one. I asked if so many people died jumping out of airplanes in this area that they needed to keep building more cemeteries to bury all the bodies!As we squeezed into the little plane, I tightly held the right hand of my partner Ronnie. The short ride to altitude was cruel for me. As Bailey stepped to the door, she looked back at me and said “Dad, Im sure you can do it!” I said yes as she rolled out, I immediately looked behind me and said “RONNIE I AM NOT FEELING GOOD” He said, “Its going to be great. Besides, its too late now anyway”, and we jumped out.The next five minutes were some of the most exciting of my life. It was so beautiful and peacefulexcept for the parts where I was screaming. I prayed to God for the parachute(降落伞)to open, but mostly I told Him how thankful I was for my life and being with me through good and bad.4. Whats the authors main purpose of mentioning cemeteries in Paragraph 2?A. To tell how determined he was. B. To show how rough the trip was.C. To prove how lonely the jump site was. D. To express how scared he was then.5. What did Bailey do for her father before skydived?A. She gave him encouragement. B. She played a joke with him.C. She comforted him constantly. D. She offered him useful guidance.6. How did the author behave after jumping out of the airplane?A. He stayed quite calm. B. He enjoyed himself.C. He breathed out in relief. D. He kept fearing for safety.7. What can be inferred about the author from the text?A. He skydived for the first time at the age of 48.B. He jumped at his daughters recommendation.C. Never had he considered attempting to do skydiving.D. The older he gets, the less fearful of heights he is.CNo messy coinsand more importantlyno embarrassment. This is how young Chinese “go Dutch” these daysscan a QR code and pay their share via smart phones in one easy click.It was the first time most of the 13 people at my dinner table last weekend had used the function on social networking tool WeChat. “It has made going Dutch less embarrassing and so much more fun,” said Zhou Ye, a Beijing-based journalist. “Young people think splitting bills this way is fun, and older ones may find it fashionable to do so.” Most importantly, it saves people the embarrassment of figuring out who owes what.Splitting the bill is a relatively new idea to most Chinese. Its being popular among the young people, but for many older folks, who fear “losing face,” it feels embarrassing. At dinner parties, families and friends often fight over who will cover the expense.Used by 600 million Chinese, WeChat is similar to WhatsApp but has many more features. One of them, WeChat Wallet, allows people to pay for almost any service by smart phones. The bill splitting function was launched last year. Owned by Chinese Internet giant Tencent, the payment platform competes with Alibabas Alipay, which is widely used and also has a bill splitting function.The smart phone apps that rely on these payment platforms have transformed the lives of many urban Chinese. Massages, haircuts, house cleaning, laundry services and personal trainers can be ordered in your own home. Zhao Mengsha, 28, an editor in a magazine, enjoys a manicure (美甲) once every month, and pays half of the price charged in salons. “Its just really convenient,” she said. “I wouldnt have thought about getting a massage at work without the apps.” Like millions of others, Zhao uses Alipay and WeChat to pay for the services. “You can make do without a wallet but cant live without your smart phone when you go out these days,” Zhao said.8. What does the underlined phrases “go Dutch” in the first paragraph refer to?A. pay a visit to Dutch. B.become a person like the Dutch.C.share expenses equally. D.visit a website called Dutch.9. According to the article, why do many old folks “fight” at dinner parties ?A. Because they think splitting bills funny. B. Because they want to know who is rich.C. Because they figure out who owes what D.Because they want to pay the bill.10. What do people think about WeChat wallet and Alipay wallet ?A. Neither of them will win in the competition.B. Both of them are acceptable.C. Smart phones with them cost a lot of money.D. The payment platform should be improved.11. What Zhao said in the last paragraph means _.A. the wallets are not necessary any moreB. she bought all that she needs through the InternetC. she doesnt know how to work with phonesD. the smart phone apps change peoples lifeDScientists have always been interested in the high level of organization in ant societies. American researchers have watched ants build life-saving rafts to keep afloat during floods. They also have recorded how ants choose their next queen the female whose job is to produce eggs.New technology is helping to improve researchers understanding of the insects. But there is still a lot to be learned.Fire ants living in Brazilian forests are perfectly at home in an environment where flooding is common. To save themselves, the insects connect their legs together and create floating rafts. Some ant rafts can be up to 20 centimeters wide.David Hu is an engineer with the Georgia Institute of Technology, also known as Georgia Tech, saying, If you have 100 ants, which means 600 legs, 99 percent of those legs will be connected to a neighbor. So theyre very, very good at keeping this network. David Hu and other Georgia Tech researchers wanted to study ants and the secret of their engineering. They froze ant rafts and then looked at them with the help of computed technology, or CT images. The pictures showed that larger ants serve in central positions to which smaller ants hold. The larger ants create pockets of air that keep the insects afloat.Scientists say small robots or materials that can change shape could be programmed in a similar way, working towards a shared goal.Researchers at North Carolina State University are also studying ants. They examined how Indian jumping ants choose the leader of the colony when they lose their top female or queen.12. The author takes fire ants as an example to tell us _ .A. how ants survive B. how ants seek foodC. how ants communicate D. how ants live together13. What can we know from what David Hu said in paragraph 4?A. Ants know the way to keep in touch in the river.B. Ants know the way to join together closely.C. Ants know the way to look for each other.D. Ants know the way to build a large raft.14. Why did the larger ants serve in central positions in their ant rafts?A. To stress their importance. B. To help all the ants float.C. To fight against the enemies. D. To defend their top female.15. What ideas do the ants give us according to the passage?A. We can use similar-shaped machines in flooding areas.B. We can combine small robots or materials into larger ones.C. Small and shape-changeable things might work just like ants do.D. Small robots or materials in the shape of ants can be made.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从所给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。If something that youre doing doesnt challenge you，then it doesnt change you.We all need some normal stress in our lives，after all._16_So challenge the following limits：1Figure out what youre scared of and do it continuously.If youre a salesman，and youre scared of talking to people personally or over the phone，now，instead of being scared and thinking youll fail，spend at least five minutes a day to pick up the phone and make a call._17_But dont stop on the first try！Eventually，you can look at fear in the eyes and say，“Go on，Im not scared！”2_18_Make sure this hobby is not linked to your career；you have to relax and relieve your stress while performing this.Some examples might be cooking，sewing，painting and so on.Apart from helping you challenge yourself，taking a class for your hobby may also give you extra income.3Set aside at least nine minutes a day for physical exercise._19_A simple 9minute run around your neighborhood can do wonders for yourself.Exercise can not only help you maintain your regular weight，but also make you feel better about yourself.4Travel and allow yourself to be interested in new people.Dont just limit yourself to your fellow travelerstry to connect with the service staff.You never know what kind of people theyre going to be._20_AYou should do it continuously.BSomeone may hang up on you.CYou dont need to go to the gym.DRunning in the gym may be a better choice.EStart to travel now and learn to challenge yourself.FYou can never see any improvement if you stick to your comfort zone.GTake a class for a hobby youve been wanting to develop.第二部分 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，并在答题卡上将此选项涂黑。There are so many expressions concerning beauty in different countries.”Love is putting someone elses needs before yours.The beauty comes from the heart,not from the outside.” My story has a different view.My daughter was reading her English composition aloud.
