格1个单词。      Host family accommodation, or living with host families, remains popular among language travel students
for its advantages. 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 for 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 cites, 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.

1个单词。                                                   People unhappy with the rich: Poll
     There is growing dissatisfaction toward rich people, according to a new online poll. The poll by the China
Youth Daily in collaboration(与…合作) with Sina.com has highlighted the apparent discontent (不满) over the
country"s widening income gap.
     Nearly 8,000 people filled in online questionnaires last week, and when asked to use three words to describe
society"s rich, the top responses were "extravagant" (奢侈的), "greedy" and"corrupt".
     About 57 percent of those polled said that"extravagant" was the best word to describe the rich, followed
closely by "greedy".
     Ironically, despite their dissatisfaction, 93 percent of those polled wished they could be rich too, and that
richer people should be"socially responsible".
     Some 33 percent of respondents also praised rich people for being"smart".
     Nearly 90 percent of respondents agreed that most people in society, including themselves, were willing to
speak up for the poor but were reluctant to take action and actually do something for them.
     The survey comes on the heels of a heated debate over comments made by renowned economist Mao
Yushi, who said he was "speaking for the rich and working for the poor".
     A report released by the Asian Development Bank last Wednesday revealed that China"s Gini coefficient-an
indicator of the wealth divide-rose from 0.407 in 1993 to 0.473 in 2004.
    An earlier CASS report said that the richest 10 percent of Chinese families now own more than 40 percent
of all private assets, while the poorest 10 percent share less than 2 percent of the total wealth.
     The country"s income disparity (悬殊) is close to that of Latin America, the report which came out in
January, said.

阅读理解。 Most dictionaries will tell you a number of things about a language. There are three important things.
These three things are spelling, pronunciation and meaning.
First, a dictionary will tell you the spelling of a word. If you are not sure about the spelling of a word,
you can try to find the correct spelling in a dictionary. Words are listed in an alphabetical order-a, b, c and
so on. For example, on a dictionary page the "poor" comes before "poverty" and the word "poverty" comes
before the "power". The words are always given in alphabetical order. The second thing, a dictionary will
tell you the pronunciation. Most dictionaries give phonetic (语音的), or sound alphabet. The phonetic
alphabet shows pronunciation. The third thing, a dictionary will tell you the meaning of words. You can
look up a word and find out what it means. Many words have more than one meaning, and a good dictionary
will tell you all of the word"s meanings. For example, in English the common word "get" has over 20 different
meanings. 1. Many words have ______. A. several meanings
B. one meaning
C. few meanings
D. no meaning 2. A good dictionary will tell you _____.A. more of word"s pronunciation
B. more of the word"s meanings
C. more of grammar
D. more of the word"s spelling. 3. Phonetic alphabets are used to show ______. A. handwritings
B. spelling
C. meanings
D. pronunciation 4. How many important things will most dictionaries tell you? A. Four
B. Five

阅读理解。     Many facts suggest that children are overweight and the situation is getting worse, according to the
doctors. I feel there are a number of reasons for this.
     Some people blame the fact that we are surrounded (包围) by shops selling unhealthy, fatty foods,
such as fried chicken and icecream, at low prices. This has turned out a whole generation of grown-ups
who seldom cook a meal for themselves. If there were fewer of these restaurants, then probably children
will buy less take away food.
     There is anther argument that blames parents for allowing their children to become overweight. I agree
with this because good eating habits begin early in life, long before children start to visit fast food shops.
If children are given fried chicken and chocolate rather than healthy food or are always allowed to choose
what they eat, they will go for sweet and salty foods every time, this will carry on throughout their lives.
     There is a third reason for this situation. Children these days take very little exercise. They do not walk
to school. When they get home, they sit in front of the television or their computers and play computer
games. Not only is this an pastime (消遣), it also give them time to eat more unhealthy food. What they
need is to go outside and play active games or sports.
     The above are the main reasons for this problem, and therefore we have to encourage young people to
be more active, as well as steering them away from fast food shops and bad eating habits. 1. According to the passage, what kind of children may eat more unhealthy food? A. Those who often took exercise.
B. Those who often watch TV.
C. Those who often have meals at home.
D. Those who often walk to school. 2. The author thinks that children are becoming overweight because _____. A. their parents often cook meals for them
B. they are too busy to go out and play
C. they can"t choose what to eat
D. there are so many fast food shops around 3. The word "steering" underlined in the last sentence most probably means _____. A. forcing
B. guiding
C. driving
D. moving 4. The main purpose of the passage is to _____. A. tell a story
B. provide facts
C. give advice
D. compare opinions

阅读理解。     Camping wild is a wonderful way to experience the natural world and, at its best, it makes little
environmental influence. But with increasing numbers of people wanting to escape into the wilderness,
it is becoming more and more important to camp unobtrusively (不引人注意地) and leave no mark.
     Wild camping is not permitted in many places, particularly in crowded lowland Britain. Wherever you
are, find out about organizations responsible for managing wild spaces, and contact them to find out their
policy on camping and shelter building. For example, it is fine to camp wild in remote parts of Scotland,
but in England you must ask the landowner"s permission, except in national parks.
     Camping is about having relaxation, sleeping out door, experiencing bad weather, and making do without
modern conveniences. A busy, fully-equipped campsite (野营地) seems to go against this, so seek out smaller,
more remote places with easy access to open spaces and perhaps beaches. Better still, find a campsite with
no road access: walking in makes a real adventure.
      Finding the right spot to camp is the first step to guaranteeing a good night"s sleep. Choose a campsite
with privacy and minimum influence on others and the environment. Try to use an area where people have
obviously camped before rather than creating a new spot.When camping in woodland, avoid standing dead
trees, which may fall on a windy night. Avoid animal runs and caves, and possible homes of biting insects.
Make sure you have most protection on the windward side. If you make a fire, do so downwind of your
shelter. Always consider what influence you might have on the natural world. Avoid damaging plants. A
good campsite is found, not made-changing it should be unnecessary. 1.You needn"t ask for permission when camping in _____. A. national parks in England
B. most parts of Scotland
C. crowded lowland Britain
D. most parts of England 2.The author thinks that a good campsite is one ______. A. With easy access
B. used previously
C. with modem conveniences
D. far away from beaches 3. The last paragraph mainly deals with _____.A. protecting animals
B. building a campfire
C. camping in woodland
D. finding a campsite with privacy 4. The passage is mainly about _____. A. the protection of campsites
B. the importance of wild camping
C. the human influence on campsites
D. the dos and don"ts of wild camping

阅读理解。     My most memorable experience will stay in my mind forever. For most people, horses are just animals

     For a woman, speech continues to have such a clear purpose: to build relationships and make friends. For
men, to talk is to relate the facts.

it as a means of bonding (沟通). A woman call spend two weeks on vacation with her friend and, when she
