Blocks of “high-rise” flats have been built in large numbers in London and in many other big cities. Just after the Second World War these big, twenty-to-thirty storey buildings, hundreds of feet in height, were thought to be the ideal solution to the housing problem. For on the one hand, there was severe housing shortage, but on the other hand, there was lack of space to build houses in urban areas. Blocks of “high-rise” flats seemed, at first, to be able to solve the problem, since they can offer space for more families to live in on less land. The beautiful, modern apartments in the high–rises were much sought after by people who lived downtown. Hundreds of the vast blocks had been built before anyone began to doubt about whether they were good solutions or not. Are they suitable places for people, children especially, to live in? A well-known British architect, who personally designed many of these buildings, now believes that the high-rises may well make those people who have been housed in them suffer a great deal. Evidence has been collected by social workers, which suggests that people do suffer. They complain about severe loneliness and deep depression living within these great towers. People also talk about lack of
communication with others, no easy access to a playground for children, no chances for adults to get familiarized with each other. Many people say that they have lived next door to each other for years in the same building, but they never know who their neighbors are. Some experts say that a large number of people living in the high-rises suffer from mental disorder and have even developed criminal tendencies. As a result of these new discoveries, plans for new high-rise blocks are being reconsidered. We are now building up many high-rises in big cities such as Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. Perhaps we should also reconsider the idea too. 1. There was a big housing problem after the Second World War ___C_________. A. in London
B. in the rural areas C. in many big cities D. in many countries
2. Blocks of “high-rise” flats were thought to be the ideal solution to the housing problem, because ____D________.
A. there was severe house shortage in big cities
B. there was less and less land to build houses in big cities
C. they were modern and beautiful and much sought after by city people D. they were built on less land and were able to house a lot more people
3. The sentence “Hundreds of the vast blocks had been built before anyone began to doubt about whether they were good solutions or not.” means __A__________.
A. it was not until hundreds of the vast blocks had been built, people began to doubt about whether they were good solutions or not
B. hundreds of the vast blocks had not been built until anyone began to doubt about whether they were good solutions or not
C. people began to doubt about whether they were good solutions or not before hundreds of the vast blocks had been built
D. before hundreds of the vast blocks had been built, some people began to doubt about whether they were good solutions or not
4. The author takes a well-known British architect as an example to show us that ___B_________.
A. he is very proud of his designing of many of the high-rises
B. even a well-known designer of the high-rises believes they are no good for people C. even a well-known designer of the high-rises suffers personally
D. high-rises are well-designed, modern buildings which meet people’s needs
5. What is the greatest danger for people living in a high-rise according to some experts? C
A. Lack of communication with others.
B. No easy access to a playground for children. C. Developing criminal tendencies. D. Not knowing the neighbors. 短文理解2
Sura Elmer came to Shanghai last July from the Netherlands, and will remain here for the next couple of years. He worked at the Holiday Inn Hotel as a sales manager, “One important part of my job consists in staying in contact with consultant-generals here. With a white face, it is easier
for me to persuade people,” he said. Before working in Shanghai, he worked for a Holiday Inn Hotel in Amsterdam. He was transferred here by an arrangement between the hotels in Shanghai and Amsterdam.
Asked to comment on the differences between working in China and Europe, he said: “If anything, Chinese colleagues tend to be more serious, while we Dutch like to crack jokes,” he said. He also said that in Amsterdam everything goes faster and with less people. “In the Netherlands, we have to be efficient because salaries are high and companies cannot employ so many people as they do here in China,” he said. He also said that he earned a bit more here than in the Netherlands, and accommodation and meals are freely available. “I like Shanghai. Before coming here I had no idea what China would be like. Now I have been here for nearly one year, I found people here friendly, though I dislike people spitting on the ground.” He intended to work here for another two or three years, depending on the hotel.
6. From the passage, we know that Sura Elmer is _____A_______. A. a Dutch
B. working for a Holiday Inn Hotel in Amsterdam C. one of the consultant-generals
D. going to stay in Shanghai for quite long 7. Sura Elmer came to Shanghai, ____D________.

I used to think education was the most important thing in my life. Recently my attitude has begun to change, although I still hold that it is essential for everyone in the world today. As a top junior student in my college, I was asked to make a speech on how to learn English well. Standing in
front of the audience facing so many freshmen, I was trembling. I didn’t remember any word that I had prepared. I ran out of the conference room without finishing my speech, leaving everyone puzzled. I cried that night in my room, feeling that I was a loser. Studying takes so much of my time that I feel unable to really develop myself. I am just storing knowledge; yet fail to communicate with others. I have received many awards in school, but they don’t necessarily reflect anything about me. I don’t know how to socialize. When I leave school I fear I will be of no use to society.
I realize that everyone has her or his own way of living. I want to change my lifestyle. Of course I will keep studying. Yet I plan to look for a part time job, which might turn out to be a good chance to get to know society. I still believe that working my hardest does make me happy. I will still stay on in college, but I will not allow it to shelter me from the real world. 11.From this passage, we know that the author ___C_________.

Dew’s Parker Adelaide
12, Nov. Dear Bob,
I’m just writing to let you know our new address and to invite you to our house-warming party next Saturday. I’m sorry about the lack of warning, but we’ve been busy moving house and I’ve had little time for anything else.

Give us a ring when you are in the area and I’ll give detailed directions to you then. Our number is 56889590.

The AIDS virus has been around for a very long time, but the spread of the disease within the last twenty years or so on such a scale has caused real concern. It seems that in the 1980s the principal carriers of the disease were homosexuals, drug users and prostitutes. Now it is becoming evident that heterosexuals also spread the disease, that children can be born with the virus and that patients in hospitals are being infected too.
Just as the WHO fought the spread of children’s disease throughout the world in the 1960s, so now they must again use education to fight this killer disease. The organization proposes to write newspaper articles and books, and to make videos and TV programmes. These will be translated into the major languages of the world so that as many people as possible can be educated about the danger of AIDS.
However, we are still faced with two big questions. Is educating the public enough if we are to control the spread of AIDS? Does the WHO have enough money and resources for hospitals throughout the world to help and care for sufferers? One fact is becoming clearer and that is that the WHO has not focused enough on the need to educate medical staff. There are still hospitals and health centers in some parts of the world which do not accept AIDS patients, while there are others where too little care is taken to prevent the spread of the disease. 31. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? C A. AIDS is a disease for which a cure has been found. B. AIDS is a disease which has just been found.
C. AIDS is a disease which has existed for a long time. D. AIDS is a disease which spreads very slowly. 32. Who is easily infected with AIDS? D A. People who use drugs.
B. People who visit prostitutes. C. Patients who stay in hospital. D. All of the above.
33. In WHO’s opinion, what will help most effectively in fighting against the spread of AIDS? A
A. More education. B. More medicines. C. More doctors. D. More equipment.
34. From the passage, we can see that the writer is not happy about __B__________. A. the education the general public get on AIDS B. the education the medical staff get on AIDS C. the TV programmes on AIDS D. the newspaper articles on AIDS
35. Which of the following statements is not true according to the passage? C A. It is not enough only to educate the general pubic.
B. There are some hospitals in some parts of the world which do not accept AIDS patients.
C. Great care has been taken to prevent the spread of AIDS everywhere in the world now.
D. More money and resources are needed to control the spread of AIDS.

\They don't think they are the happiest of the people around them. They would point out that one of their neighbors is happier than any one of them, \the most beautiful and well-educated lady in the community. No, I don't think I am happier than Doctor Frank. At least my career is not as successful as his.\
Most of us compare ourselves with anyone we think is happier ? a relative, a close friend or, often, someone we even hardly know. I once met a young man who struck me as particularly successful and happy. He spoke of his love for his beautiful wife and their daughters, and of his joy at being a TV talk-show host. I remember thinking he was one of the lucky few for whom everything goes effortlessly right. Once we talked about the Internet, he is grateful for its existence. He told me, because he could look up information on diabetes (糖尿病) ? the terrible disease that made his wife suffer and could possibly be passed down to his lovely children. When I heard this, I felt like a fool for taking it for granted that nothing unhappy existed in his life.
This made me think a lot and I soon drew one of the most significant conclusions about happiness: there is little relation between the situations of people's lives and how happy they are. We all know people who are richer and have an easier life than others, yet they are essentially unhappy. And we know people who have suffered a great deal but generally remain happy. Unhappiness is like looking at something and fixing on even the smallest fault. As a bald man told me, \
It is hard for us to give up the image of \perfect.\As nothing is perfect, anyone can be unhappy. It takes no courage or effort to be unhappy. True happiness lies in struggling to be happy.
36. According to the author, most people would ____D________ they are the happiest in the world.
A. doubt whether B. like to think that C. think about whether D. not think that
37. The author thinks that people quite often compare themselves with ______C______. A. a close friend B. a relative
C. anyone they think is happier D. someone they even hardly know
38. What is not true about the young man the author once met with? B A. He is a TV talk show host.
B. Everything goes effortlessly right for him. C. He loves his wife and their daughters.
D. He is very happy with his work and his life.
39. After talking with the young man about the Internet, the author realizes ____A________. A. that he is mistaken in thinking nothing unhappy existed in the latter’s life B. how grateful the young man is for the existence of the Internet
作文
1、Changes in my life (我生活中的变化)
The first few years in university was good, but with the time going, one day I felt I need change the situation again. At that time, I found myself was a kind of person who always wants to change and was not satisfied with the current situation. To some extent, I am a person full of ambition. I had taught there for 7 years, I felt I could not use my knowledge to teach in the class. If I kept doing this, I would have finished my whole life without achieving anything. What would be a terrible thing like this! I found a chance to be interpreter in a team, and found my new interest. Hence, there are two examination preparation jobs waiting for me again----TOFEL and GRE. I knew at that time the situation should be most difficult than that I had before. I need worked on daytime, and prepared them at night, I was not younger than 10 years ago. But I had set the goal, I need go study abroad in the US, even though there were more than one year hard work ahead. Finally, I went through all the examination, and the God of luck stood with me again, I was accepte! My life changed to another direction in January 2009, I started my life in a total different world.
Now, I am still changing. I gradually know the culture, life, people, customers here, I come to get used of the life here, I turn to love the country. What will I change to? Who knows? However, I think the changing tendency will go to the right direction, my life and my future will get better and better. Through the call I got from my father, my hometown is changing rapidly, the village is filling the shrimp pond, and building factory and attracting the investment. It seems like people will live better life in the future.
Change can make thing possible, hanging back in the face of fear is nothing.
2、My TV university life (我的电大生活)
I am engaged in long distance education. My web-based courses are English, Chinese, Computer, Maths, Politics, etc. I like English best.

Every day we complete our home work on the computer and send our homework to the tutor, though sometimes he or she is not online. He or she will solve the difficulties and puzzles in tutorial. I love my TV University life. 3、Living in a big city (生活在大城市)
There are some advantages for the people living in a big city. First,the people who live in a big city can enjoy the the miracles of the latest technology of the human being. Most cities have some facilities of popular science .People can go there and understand science knowledge. Second,the big city can provide many conveniences in transportation and traveling for the people who live in the big city.Forexample,they can travel with the magnetic suspension train whose maximum speed can attain 400 km per hour. They can take the subway to work every day. Another advantage that city people can enjoy is that they can live more convenient and entertaining. There are a lot of supermarkets in the city.When you need something,you could just go and buy them in supermarkets. As for cultural recreations there are many cinemas and concerts halls in the big city.
However living in a big city has some disadvantages. Polution and noises,mostly from factories and cars,severely affect people's health. As hundreds of people rush into big cities,the population of cities has rapidly mounted,which results in crowed buses,a lot of traffic jams,many traffic accidents and poor housing conditions. Frequent traffic accidents threaten people's lifes.
People may have many opinions about living in a big city.Some would think city life is too
boisterous and roaring,whereas others may enjoy it. It all depends one's personal point of view and experiences. As for me,I was born in the big city,and I am used to everything here. So I will choose city life.

In the afternoon,there are also many people keen on sports. Some play basketball or volleyball or table tennis, others go in for gymnastics or track events.

5、My ideal job (我理想的工作)
I have been dreamed to be a teacher since I was a kid. Everyday when I arrived at school, my lovely teacher would give me a warm hug with a big shining smile. It made me felt like a flower which had been taken good care by the gardener and I felt comfortable. Not only me, but also the other kids had the same feeling, and this feeling helped us grow happy and healthy. So I thought, teacher was such a job that full of significance. I do should be a teacher.
I have studied so hard since then, and I believe the solid basis of the job is build on it. I will stick to my faith and work even harder. I believe my dream will cometure sooner or later.

There are three people in my family .They are my wife, my daughter and I. My wife is a doctor in a big hospital and my daughter is a ten-year-old pupil. In my spare time, I like reading books, watching TV, playing table tennis and so on. I used to fishing in the weekends, but I don’t now, because I have to attend class in the TV University.

My wife deals with my little kid, while I’m cooking the breakfast. I drive my daughter to her school and then to my work. My wife takes the subway to her hospital. Around 4:30 p.m., I pick up my daughter and do some grocery shopping. My wife is good at cooking. So when we arrive home, a delicious meal is waiting for us. During the eating, we chat about interesting things from our daily life and discuss current affairs. We go to bed at 10 p.m.
9,Changes in My Life（我生活中的变化）
There have been many changes in my life. With the development of the economy, my life is better off. For clothing, I have spare money to buy sorts of pretty clothes. But in the past, there were fewer clothes in my wardrobe. For food, I usually had traditional Chinese food for every meal, rice, noodles or a steamed bun with one or two light dishes such as preserved pickles. Nowadays, I can afford any delicious food, including western foods. For housing, I have moved from a cramped and gloomy room to a big and bright flat. For getting around, I rode an old bike on my way to work a year ago. At present, I drive my private car to travel. I believe my life will be better and better in the future.
10,My Ideal Job（我的理想工作）
Every person has his own ideal job. Some people wish to be doctors, while others want to be teachers and so on.As far as I am concerned, I have been dreaming of being a guide for a long time. First, my major is the manage of tourism, so I want to get a job about tourism. Secondly, good guides are knowledgeable and amiable, meanwhile, they have wide vision. Finally, guide can constantly expand his knowledge and understand lots of customs about different cultures and countries.To achieve my dream of being a qualified guide, I have to make sufficient preparations. Fro one thing, I must learn my specialty well and travel at my spare time, just as the saying goes: “Seeing is believing.” For another, I should enhance my eloquence so that I can express the allusion about the view clearly. What’s more important ,I should control my mood freely and treat every traveler kindly.Being a good guide is difficult, but I believe if I endeavor to do this things in all hands. I’ll be successful sooner or later 11,My Home（我的家）
I am living on the 10th floor of a tower building with my wife and daughter. It is a newly-built block of flats with 22 stories altogether in the north of the city. We have three bedrooms, one big living-room, one kitchen and two bathrooms. The size is about 127 square meters. When we moved in three years ago. I painted the doors myself, but I had the window frames painted. We are satisfied with the decorations except the cupboards in the kitchen, so I need to build them again. The neighborhood is nice too. I think my home is cozy and I like my home. 12,My Hobbies（我的业余爱好）
Hobbies are activities from which one can benefit a lot. In my spare time, I like painting, singing, raising flowers and cycling. My hobbies help me relax after periods of hard work. Moreover, I can make many friends who share the same hobbies with me. My hobbies help me maintain a mental and physical balance. As you can see, hobbies can be relaxing, challenging, interesting, enjoyable or educational. So everyone should have one or two hobbies, then the life is meaningful and amusing.
13,My Favorite Sport（我喜爱的运动）
My favorite sport is swimming. There are three reasons why I like the sport best.
First, it is good for keeping fit. It benefits the heart, the lungs(肺) and the limbs(四肢). Thanks to the sport, I lost my weight and am graceful in form.
Second, it is easy to find a place to swim. In the country, I can swim in lakes and rivers. In the city, there are many swimming pools spotted among the residential areas.
Third, it can be done in any weather. It is very cool swimming in hot summer. In cold weather, swimming is especially refreshing.
Swimming is a very popular sport. I hope you can enjoy it too.
14,Health and Eating Habit（健康与饮食习惯）
An eating habit is closely related to health. In order to keep fit, we should pay more attention to our eating habits. My suggestions for a good eating habit are as follows.
First, don’t eat too much or too little for each meal. Eating too much will cause overweight and eating too little, malnutrition(营养不良).
Second, don’t eat between meals. Sometimes we like eating biscuits and chips before the mealtime, as a result, we lose our appetite(胃口) for lunch or dinner. Third, eat more vegetables and fruits everyday.
In my opinion, a good eating habit leads to a healthy life.
15,How to Keep Healthy（如何保持身体健康)
Nowadays, more and more people know the importance of keeping healthy. Without good health, we can do nothing. For me, there are mainly three ways to keep healthy.
First, it is necessary to keep a balanced diet, which is the basis of good health. We should have plenty of fruits and vegetables everyday.
Secondly, it is important to do regular exercises, such as swimming, jogging and so on.
Last but not least, it is essential to keep in good spirits. Relaxation and entertainment are ways to renew our spirits and release our stress.
When we make healthy habits a part of our everyday life, we are bound to keep healthy. 16,High School Life and College Life（我的大学生活）
High school life is quite different from college life. In high school, the students have to wear school uniform. Teachers always ask students to do many tasks in the classroom and supervise students’ behavior in detail. In college, students have to be responsible for themselves. They have more freedom in college than in high school. For example, they put on the casual clothes instead of uniform. Tutors give them lectures and assignments, and they must spend more time studying by themselves in the library. That means students must manage themselves very well. Although I often recall my high school life, I like college life more. 17,My TV University Life（我的电大生活）
Our TV University is mainly engaged in long distance education. The form of study is very convenient for adult learners like me. I can learn my courses anywhere in my spare time by computer. There are many web-based courses and sources on line. Moreover, I not only use e-mail to send our homework to our tutors but also join online discussion forums. Meantime, the difficulties and puzzles can be solved in the tutorial once a week. The e-learning life is meaningful and demanding. I enjoy my TV university life. 18,Living in a Big City（城市生活）
In the eyes of many people, city life is attractive with all its advantages and conveniences. People can buy almost all kinds of things at supermarkets or shopping malls, dine out in good restaurants, and more important, they can have more educational opportunities.
However, with the expansion of the city, more and more people are flowing into the big city, the traffic is heavier and heavier, the pollution is more and more serious, and the living condition is worse and worse.
Most people love the advantages of city life, but a big city also has its disadvantages. 19,Help For Elderly People（爱护老人）
It is reported that China has stepped into an aging society. As the aging of the population quickens, the number of elderly people is becoming very large. Therefore, it is necessary to find
good ways to deal with the problem.
According to traditional Chinese moral values, it is the sons or daughters who should take the responsibility of caring their elderly parents. The youth should not only look after their elderly parents in material terms but also understand their loneliness and do their best to spend more time with them.
But because the family plan has been carried out for many years in China, it is a common picture that a young couple has to support four elderly parents. This trend will reach its peak in coming years. The government is responsible for guaranteeing the basic living standards of the elderly and safeguard (保护) their legitimate (合法的) rights and interests and establish a multi-level old-age insurance system.
20,My English Studies（我的英语学习）
I have been learning English for more than twenty years. Recalling my English studies, I would like to share some good ways and some frustrations with you.
First, I am independent in English studies. Instead of waiting for the teacher to explain, I try to find the patterns and rules on my own.
Second, I am an active English learner. I never wait for a chance using English. I look for such a chance, and create a language environment by myself. I am willing to make mistakes and not afraid of losing face.
Try your best to enjoy the pleasure of English studies, bear in mind that “frustration gets you nowhere”. (焦虑于事无补)
