The requirements for high school graduation have just changed in my community.

During a service experience, students must keep a journal and then write a4about what they have learned.
Supporters state that there are many5of service learning. Perhaps most importantly, students are forced to think 6their own interests and become aware of the needs of others. Students are also able to learn real-life skills that 7responsibility, problem-solving, and working as part of a team. Finally, students can explore possible careers8service learning.
For example, if a student wonders what teaching is like, he or she can choose to work in a primary school classroom a few afternoons each month.9there are many benefits, opponents (反對(duì)者) point out problems with the new requirement.

In my view, service learning is a great way to13to the community, learn new skills, and explore different careers.14, I don' t believe you should force people to help others – the15to help must come from the heart. I think the best solution is one that gives students choices. Choice encourages both freedom and responsibility.

For shopoholics, the post-Christmas period means only one thing ---- sales! Across the country, prices are reducing sharply on clothing, electronics and home furniture, but London is the place for serious shopping, and you can certainly pick up some amazing bargains.
The sales start on Boxing Day — 26th December, and continue for the month of January, but the keenest bargain hunters get there early to be first through the doors. In Oxford Street queues formed outside shops ahead of before-dawn openings for the start of their sales. At Brent Cross, in north London, more than 1,000 people were queuing at 3.30 am for the ‘Next’ clothing store’s sale which began at 4 am. Some eager individuals even camped outside the shops to be first in the line.
Consumers who hit the shops were rewarded with discounts of as much as 80% as department stores joined the bargain sales. The shops are very crowded as the sales reached the boiling-point, with more than half a million people gathering on London’s West End.
Famous sales include the biggest, most popular shops such as Harrods, Selfridges, Liberty and John Lewis. Department stores are always a good bet — you’re likely to find everything you need under one roof, including much-needed food and drinks!
It’s a good time to stock up on cheap small tools, and there’s no better time to invest in some designer clothes.
Some people are taking their partners shopping with them, and buying their Christmas presents in the sale----a practical but unromantic way of making sure you get the gift you really want. For a less exciting but less stressful shopping experience, online sellers are also getting in on the act with January sales of their own.
The most organized of all are those who are already doing their present shopping for next Christmas, in the January sales!

  1. 1.

    In the sales, people can buy, at a very low price, all of the following except ______.

    1. A.
      fashionable clothing
    2. B.
      bestseller
    3. C.
      TV sets
    4. D.
      bookcases
  2. 2.

    We can learn from the passage that the sales ______.

    1. A.
      actually start before the end of December
    2. B.
      generally last for two months
    3. C.
      basically benefit none of the people
    4. D.
      are a time to buy Christmas gifts in a romantic way
  3. 3.

    “Hit the shops” in the third paragraph means to ______.

    1. A.
      attack the shops
    2. B.
      arrive at the shops
    3. C.
      affect the shops
    4. D.
      find the shops
  4. 4.

         What is the best title for this passage?

    1. A.
      January Sales
    2. B.
      Sales in London at Christmas
    3. C.
      Practical but Unromantic Shopping
    4. D.
      Shopping under One Roof

English is the most widely used language in the history of our planet. One in every seven human beings can speak it. More than half of the world’s books and three quarters of international mail are in English. Of all languages, English has the largest vocabulary — perhaps as many as two million words.
However, let’s face it: English is a crazy language. There is no egg in an eggplant, neither pine nor apple in a pineapple and no ham in a hamburger. Sweet-meats are candy, while sweetbreads, which aren’t sweet, are meat.
We take English for granted. But when we explore its paradoxes (探討它的矛盾), we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square,  public bathrooms have no baths in them.
And why is it that a writer writes, but fingers don’t fing, grocers don’t groce, and hammers don’t ham? If the plural of tooth is teeth, shouldn’t the plural of booth be beeth? One goose, two geese — so one moose, two meese?
How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites? How can overlook and oversee be opposites, while quite a lot and quite a few are alike? How can the weather be hot as hell one day and cold as hell the next?
English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects (反映) the creativity of human beings. That’s why, when stars are out, they are visible (能看見的); but when the lights are out, they are invisible. And why, when I wind up my watch, I start it; but when I wind up this essay, I end it.

  1. 1.

    According to the passage ______.

    1. A.
      sweet-meats and sweetbreads are different things
    2. B.
      there should be egg in an eggplant
    3. C.
      pineapples are the apples on the pine tree
    4. D.
      boxing rings should be round
  2. 2.

    Which of the following is the correct plural?

    1. A.
      Beeth.       
    2. B.
      Geese.        
    3. C.
      Meese.       
    4. D.
      Tooth.
  3. 3.

    Which of the following includes two items which have the similar meaning?

    1. A.
      A wise man and a wise guy.   
    2. B.
      Overlook and oversee.  
    3. C.
      Quite a lot and quite a few.    
    4. D.
      Hot as hell and cold as hell.
  4. 4.

    The underlined words “wind up” in the last paragraph probably mean “______”.

    1. A.
      blow       
    2. B.
      roll up        
    3. C.
      get hurt       
    4. D.
      finish
  5. 5.

    Through the many paradoxes in the English language, the writer wants to show that human beings are ______.

    1. A.
      clever     
    2. B.
      crazy       
    3. C.
      lazy

New technology links the world as never before. Our planet has shrunk（收縮）. It’s now a “global village” where countries are only seconds away by fax or phone or satellite link. And, of course, our ability to benefit from this high-tech communication’s equipment is greatly enhanced by foreign language skills.
Deeply involved with this new technology is a breed of modern businesspeople who have a growing respect for the economic value of doing business abroad. In modern markets, success overseas often helps support domestic(國內(nèi)的) business efforts.
Overseas assignments are becoming increasingly important to advancement within executive(行政的) ranks. The executive stationed in another country no longer need fear being “out of sight and out of mind.” He or she can be sure that the overseas effort is central to the company’s plan for success, and that promotions often follow or accompany an assignment abroad. If an employee can succeed in a difficult assignment overseas, superior will have greater confidence in his or her ability to cope back in the United States where cross-cultural considerations and foreign language issues are becoming more and more common.
Thanks to a variety of relatively inexpensive communications devices with business applications, even small businesses in the United States are able to get into international markets.
English is still the international language of business. But there is an ever-growing need for people who can speak another language. A second language isn’t generally required to get a job in business, but having language skills gives a candidate(候選人) the edge when other qualifications appear to be equal.
The employee posted abroad who speaks the country’s principal language has an opportunity to fast-forward certain negotiations, and can have the cultural insight to know when it is better to move more slowly. The employee at the home office who can communicate well with foreign clients(客戶) over the telephone or by fax machine is an obvious asset to the firm.

  1. 1.

    What is the author’s attitude toward high-tech communications equipment?

    1. A.
      Critical.                  
    2. B.
      Indifferent.              
    3. C.
      Negative.                
    4. D.
      Positive.
  2. 2.

    With the increased use of high-tech communications equipment, business people_________.

    1. A.
      have to get familiar with modern technology
    2. B.
      are gaining more economic benefits from domestic operations
    3. C.
      are placing more importance on their overseas business
    4. D.
      are eager to work overseas
  3. 3.

    In this passage, “out of sight and out of mind” (Para. 3) probably means _________.

    1. A.
      being unable to think properly for lack of insight
    2. B.
      being totally out of touch with business at home
    3. C.
      missing opportunities for promotion when abroad
    4. D.
      leaving all care and worry behind
  4. 4.

    According to the passage, what is an important consideration of international corporations in employing people today?

    1. A.
      Connections with businesses overseas.    
    2. B.
      Ability to speak the client’s language.
    3. C.
      Technical know-how.
