【題目】Though the last book of the spectacular (壯觀的) Harry Potter series was released seven years ago in 2007, the young wizard continues to be extremely popular with both kids and adults. Over the years, Harry Potter fans have been able to experience numerous aspects of the young wizard’s life, right down to his favorite drink — butter beer. Now thanks to a British hotel, they can also spend a night in the wizard’s Hogwarts Castle dormitory room.

The four-star Georgian Hotel in Central London, which recently opened its two wizard chambers(房間), is ideally suited to reproducing J.K. Rowling’s school of wizardry (巫術(shù)). That’s because the hotel, which is still run by the descendants of the original owners, dates all the way back to 1851. It still remains its original styles inside.

According to the owner of the 163-year-old Georgian Hotel, the idea originated as a way to create a kid-friendly environment in a hotel that is well-known for its Victoria Classic and Belgravia Boutique rooms.

The wizard chambers that have been refinished to resemble the Hogwarts Castle dormitory rooms are furnished with everything a wizard fan could think of — four-poster beds, stone wash basins, potion bottles, cauldrons (汽鍋，大鍋), spelling books and even study tables. In order to make them appear even more magical, the hotel owners have added their own special touches that include placing a wand in the hand of the Mona Lisa painting that is in one of the chambers.

As you may have guessed, these unique accommodations are not cheap. The rooms, breakfast included, cost about $350 for two people. Kids sharing the same room pay only an additional $40 each. Given that the big wizard chamber can contain up to five people, the overall cost is perfect for families that are all Harry Potter fans. Special packages include a Muggle Walking Tour that takes Harry Potter fans through the areas of the city where parts of the movies were filmed or a visit to Warner Brothers Studio, home of the Harry Potter films’ sets and props (道具).

The hotel is certainly generating a lot of buzz among Harry Potter fans!

【1】How long does the Georgian Hotel exist?

A. It has been existing in London for three hundred years..

B. It has a history of more than 160 years.

C. It has been there since 2007.

D. It has been visited by the Harry Potter fans since 1851.

【2】Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?.

A. The hotel opening two wizard chambers originated as a way to create a kid-friendly environment.

B. All of the books of the spectacular (壯觀的) Harry Potter series were released seven years ago in 2007.

C. As you may have guessed, these unique accommodations are very cheap.

D. The wizard chambers aren’t furnished as a wizard fan could think of.

【3】If Mr Green and his wife with three children want to stay in the hotel for a night, how much should they pay?

A. $ 350. B. $ 390. C. $ 430. D. $ 470.

【4】The best title of the passage is _______.

A. Stay in the magical Harry Potter rooms

B. Play with Harry Potter

C. A recent Harry Potter Hotel

D. A Expensive Hotel

【題目】E

All the wisdom of the ages, all the stories that have delighted mankind for centuries, are easily and cheaply available to all of us within the covers of books but we must know how to avail ourselves of this treasure and how to get the most from it. The most unfortunate people in the world are those who have never discovered how satisfying it is to read good books.

Reading is pleasure of the mind, which means that it is a little like a sport: your eagerness and knowledge and quickness make you a good reader. Reading is fun, not because the writer is telling you something, but because it makes your mind work. Your own imagination works along with the author's or even goes beyond his. Your experience, compared with his, brings you to the same or different conclusions, and your ideas develop as you understand his.

Every book stands by itself, like a one family house, but books in a library are like houses in a city. Although they are separate, together they all add up to something, they are connected with each other and with other cities. The same ideas, or related ones, turn up in different places; the human problems that repeat themselves in life repeat themselves in literature, but with different solutions according to different writings at different times. Books influence each other; they link the past, the present and the future and have their own generations, like families. Wherever you start reading you connect yourself with one of the families of ideas, and in the long run, you not only find out about the world and the people in it; you find out about yourself, too.

Reading can only be fun if you expect it to be. If you concentrate on books somebody tells you “ought” to read, you probably won't have fun. But if you put down a book you don't like and try another till you find one that means something to you, and then relax with it, you will almost certainly have a good time — and if you become, as a result of reading, better, wiser, kinder, or more gentle, you won't have suffered during the process.

【1】For a reader, the most important is to__________.

A. buy some cheap books easily.

B. get benefits from the books.

C. collect and treasure the books

D. promote good books.

【2】Why is reading fun according to paragraph 2?

A. The write tells a lot to readers.

B. Books are easy to understand.

C. Readers can be encouraged to think and imagine.

D. Readers can choose whatever to read.

【3】What benefits can we get from reading in the long term?

①finding out about the world;

②finding out about people in the books;

③finding about readers themselves;

④finding out about other books;

⑤finding out about sports

A. ①②③ B. ①②④ C. ②③④ D.③④⑤

【4】What of the following can be the best title of the passage?

A. The pleasure of reading

B. The ways to make reading fun

C. How to improve your reading level

D. Reading good books

The secret of staying slim could be as simple as keeping your mind on your meals.

Research suggests that 【1】 (free) ourselves from distractions and concentrating completely on the food that is in front of us, 【2】 (help) us stay in shape. Such "mindful eating" ensures that the mind is in tune with(協(xié)調(diào)) the body, enabling it to "hear" the chemical messages【3】 tell it that we are full. Digestion involves a complex series of 【4】 (signal) between the gut(腸道) and the nervous system and it takes about 20 minutes for the brain _ 【5】 (tell) that the body has eaten enough. This means that if someone eats too quickly, the signals will come slowly, leading to overeating. Scientists say that distractions make it 【6】 (hard) for us to remember what we have eaten. This absent-mindedness stops us from feeling full _【7】 sends us reaching for some snacks later on. It is thought that our memory of what we have eaten plays a key role 【8】 controlling appetite. This means that distractions stop us remembering 【9】 detail of what we have eaten, leaving us feeling hungry. Before snacking, dieters should ask themselves if they are really hungry and if not, distract themselves by going for a walk or reading.

Done 【10】 (proper), mindful eating may not only leave you slim, but also make you enjoy mealtimes.

Opinions are divided about if we should buy products promoted by stars. Some students say that they prefer to buy products promoted by stars because of most of the stars care about the quality of the product they are going to advertise.Besides, buying those products is a way to support the stars they like. However, other think what some stars really care is money but not the quality of the product when they make a advertisement.In addition, the product that a star advertises is not necessary suitable for everyone. To my opinion, we should be cool and sensible while chosen a product. The main aspect we are supposed consider /s not the advertisement or the star and the quality of the product and its real usefulness in our daily life.

【題目】Part-time jobs for 15 and 16 years olds

Waiter / Waitress

A job as a waiter or waitress is a good choice for 16-year-olds. Not only can one earn $9-$12 an hour, but they can also get the tips (小費(fèi)). Most people that visit a restaurant don’t just have good food. They come here to relax and have a good time. Besides serving food quickly, a young waiter who talks to them politely with a smile on his face will make the diners enjoy their time at the restaurant.

Work in a library

If one is fond of books, working in a library is another suitable choice. Besides the pay is good, it offers a lot of free time when students can actually sit down and finish their homework. So on returning home, they would have time to hang around with friends or just relax. So working in a library is an excellent part-time job for teens, especially for school students.

Internet jobs

There are many ways of making money through online jobs like clicking on advertisements, visiting sites and signing up with them. However, such online jobs don’t pay well. A better Internet job for teens is to complete online surveys. These are quite simple surveys that usually ask one about his/ her opinions and ideas.

【題目】Researchers are placing robotic dogs (機(jī)器狗) in the homes of lonely old people to determine whether they can improve the quality of life for humans. Alan Beck, an expert in human-animal relationship, and Nancy Edwards, a professor of nursing, are leading the animal-assisted study concerning the influence of robotic dogs on old people’s depression, physical activity, and life satisfaction. “No one will argue that an older person is better off being more active, challenged, or stimulated (刺激),” Edwards points out. “The problem is how we promote (使……成為現(xiàn)實(shí)) that, especially for those without friends or help. A robotic dog could be a solution.”

In the study, the robot, called AIBO, is placed for six weeks in the houses of some old people who live alone. Before placing AIBO in the home, researchers will collect baseline data for six weeks. These old people will keep a diary to note their feelings and activity before and after AIBO. Then, the researchers will review the data to determine if it has inspired any changes in the life of its owner.

“I talk to him all the time, and he responds to my voice,” says a seventy-year-old lady. “When I’m watching TV, he’ll stay in my arms until he wants down. He has a mind of his own.”

The AIBOs respond to certain orders. The researchers say they have some advantages over live dogs, especially for old people. Often the elderly are disabled and cannot care for an animal by walking it or playing with it. A robotic dog removes exercise and feeding concerns.

“At the beginning, it was believed that no one would relate to the robotic dog, because it was metal and not furry, ” Beck says. “But it’s amazing how quickly we have given up that belief.”

“Hopefully, down the road, these robotic pets could become a more-valuable health helper. They will record their masters’ blood pressure, oxygen levels, or heart rhythms. AIBOs may even one day have games that can help stimulate older people’s minds. ”

【1】The purpose of Beck and Edwards’ study is to __________.

A. understand human-animal relationship

B. make lonely old people’s life better

C. find the causes of old people’s loneliness

D. promote the animal-assisted research

【2】In the research, the old people are asked to ____________.

A. note the activities of AIBOs

B. keep AIBOs at home for 12 weeks

C. record their feelings and activity.

D. analyze the collected information

【3】What is the advantage of AIBO over live dogs?

A. It is easier to keep at home.

B. It can help the disabled people.

C. It responds to all the human orders.

D. It can watch TV with its owner.

【4】The author seems to suggest that the future robotic dogs may _____________.

A. cure certain diseases

B. keep old people active

C. change people’s beliefs

D. look more like real dogs
