Dear Tom，
Here comes a piece of good news．Chinese Summer Camp，which is intended for international students，is going to be held in our school this summer vacation．（高分句型一）Since you are obsessed with Chinese culture，I'd like to invite you to join it．
The Camp is scheduled to last 11 days，from July 18 to July 28．It covers a wide variety of cultural activities，ranging from studying Chinese daily expressions to attending some lectures on Chinese history and traditional culture．（高分句型二）As we all know，language is closely related to culture，so I'm convinced that you can dig out Chinese cultural features from language study．In addition，the Camp provides a chance for you to visit some famous museums，which is the best way to learn about the country．（高分句型三）By admiring the historical relics，you will definitely gain a better understanding of the country．
If you want to be part of it，please sign up for it before July 2nd at our scho ol website．Looking forward to your early reply．
Yours，
Li Hua．

The reason is that I have got a cold，and the doctor suggests that I should lie in bed for one week or so．（高分句型二）But don't worry，I've asked a friend of mine，Han Meimei，to go there instead．She is good at making Chinese knots．Then she will go to your apartment at 9：00 this Saturday morning．
Please allow me to say sorry again．I have the confidence that you can learn how to make Chinese knots．（高分句型三）Wish you a good time!
Yours，
Li Hua．

3．Most people feel lonely sometimes，but it usually only lasts between a few minutes and a few hours．（36）C   In fact，it is quite normal．For some people，though，loneliness can last for years．Psychologists are studying this complex phenomenon，and have identified three different types of loneliness．
The first kind of loneliness is temporary．This is the most common type．It usually disappears quickly and does not require any special attention．The second kind，situation-for example，family problem，the death of a loved one，or moving to a new place．（37）G 
The third kind of loneliness is the most severe．Unlike the others，chronic （the opposite of"temporary"） usually lasts more than two years and has no specific cause．（38）E Unfortunately，many chronically lonely people think there is little or nothing they can do to improve their condition．
Psychologists agree that one important factor in loneliness is a person's social contacts，for example，friends，family members，co-workers，etc．We depend on various people for different reasons．For instance，our families give us emotional support，our parents and teachers give us guidance，and our friends share similar interests and activities．However，psychologists have found that，though lonely people may have many social contacts，they sometimes feel they should have more．（39）B 
Psychologists are trying to find ways to help habitually lonely people for two reasons．They are unhappy and unable to socialize and there is a connection between chronic loneliness and serious illness as heart disease．（40）F

A．It is very difficult to deal with．
B．They question their popularity．
C．This kind of loneliness is not serious．
D．They don't think they are in need of them．
E．People who experience it have problems socializing and becoming close to others．
F．What's more，temporary and situational loneliness can be a sad，and sometimes dangerous condition．
G．Although it can cause physical problems，such as headaches and sleeplessness，it usually does not last for more than a year．

2．Children grow quickly，especially their feet．But many families cannot buy new shoes each time a child needs them．As a result，about 300 million children around the world go barefoot．Those children risk picking up diseases and parasites from the soil．
Kenton Lee，an American man invented The Shoe That Grows．He explains，"It grows in three places：the front，on the side and on the back．It can last up to five years．The bottom is rubber like tire rubber．The top is just high-quality leather．"
Lee says he got the idea for the shoe while working as a volunteer in an orphanage in Kenya．"I just remember a little girl who wore a pair of small shoes．The shoes were so small that she had to cut open the front of her shoes to let her toes stick out．And I just remember thinking，wouldn't it be nice if there were a pair of shoes that could grow with her feet．"
However，Lee says it was not easy to turn his idea into a reality．Finally，in 2009 Lee founded a non-profit organization called Because International．In the office of Because International，Lee keeps a pair of his own shoes to help him remember his promise．
A pair of shoes，he says，gives more than protection．It gives a child self-worth and more chances to succeed．"Because it's a small thing that really does make a big difference to keep them healthy and happy and having more chances to succeed．"
Kenton Lee adds that his goal is to help get The Shoe That Grows to as many children as he can around the world．

29．The first paragraph may intends to tell usC．
A．many children suffer lacking shoes
B．shoes are badly needed in many places
C．the necessity of inventing the new shoes
D．we should make efforts to help the children
30．What's the main idea of paragraph 3？C
A．The children in orphanage live a hard life．
B．A girl with a pair of worn shoes．
C．What inspired Kenton Lee to invent the shoes．
D．Kenton Lee wanted to help the children．
31．From Kenton Lee，we can knowD．
A．the new-invented shoes can grow automatically
B．he had little difficulty in inventing the new type shoes
C．he had a great dream to invent shoes from his childhood
D．shoes are important for children's physical and mental growth．

1．Housework is a frequent source of conflict between lazy husbands and their hard-working wives，but women have been warned not to expect men to pull their weight any time soon．
A study from Oxford University has found that men are unlikely to be doing an equal share of housework before 2050．Mothers，the researchers warned，will continue to shoulder the burden of childcare and housework for the next four decades，largely because housework such as cleaning and cooking is still regarded as"women's work"．
The gap between the amount of time men and women spend on housework has narrowed slowly over the past 40 years．But it will take another four decades before true housework equality is achieved，the study concluded．
The research found that in the Nordic countries，the burden of housework is shared more equally between men and women．In the UK，women spend an average of four hours and forty minutes each day on housework，compared with two hours and twenty-eight minutes for men．This is an improvement from the 1960s，when British women typically spent six hours a day on housework，while men spent just 90minutes every day．
But progress towards housework equality appears to be slowing in some countries．Dr Oriel Sullivan，a research reader from Oxford's Department of Sociology，said，"we've looked at what is affecting the equality in the home，and we have found that certain tasks seem to be given according to whether they are viewed as‘men's work'or‘women's work'．"
Dr．Sullivan said cultural attitudes taught at school may be responsible for the views of housework．"At school it is much easier for a girl to be a tomboy，but it is much more difficult for a boy to enjoy baking and dancing，"she said．

25．What does the underlined part"pull their weight"in Paragraph 1 probably refer to？C
A．Lose weight．
B．Earn money．
C．Do equal housework．
D．Be lazy．
26．Why will women continue to do more housework before 2050？D
A．Men are too busy to help．
B．They would like to do so．
C．They can do better in housework．
D．Housework will still be considered"women's work"．
27．From Paragraph 4 we know that in the UKB．
A．men now spend just 90 minutes a day on housework on average
B．women now spend less time on housework than before
C．housework is shared equally between men and women
D．women now are too busy with their work to do housework
28．In Dr．Sullivan's opinion，what is to blame for the housework inequality？A
A．Cultural attitudes towards housework．
B．Policies made by the government．
C．The time spent on work．
D．The type of housework．

19．When Frank and I stepped through the post office doors，there was a crowd gathered，gawking at the new fixture on the wall like a chorus of wide-mouthed frogs．I had to get closer，and that was where being a girl that's scrawnier than a wire fence came in handy．Fortunately，F(xiàn)rank，my twin of eleven years，was just the same．
"Come on．"I said，grabbing his hand，and we slid through the cracks between people until we spilled out in front．
Finally I got a good look．It was fixed to the plaster next to the postmaster's window，the place of honor usually reserved for the Wanted posters．Beady-eyed Zedekiah Smith，the bank robber，still hung there，but even he had been pushed aside for something more important．
A telephone．The first one in town．
"How's it work？"Noah Crawford called out．Noah's the best fix-it man around，and I could tell he was itching to get his fingers on those shiny knobs．
"Don't rightly know，"answered the postmaster，and he tugged at his goatee as if it might tell him．"I do know the sound of your voice moves along wires strung on poles．It's sort of like the telegraph，only you hear words instead of dots and dashes．"
"Ah，"the crowd murmured，and I felt my own mouth move along．
I gazed at that gleaming wood box and something happened inside me．Something-I can only guess-that might be like falling in love．The thought of talking into that box-of making my voice sail through wires in the sky-it took over my brain．I couldn't get it out．
"Frank，"I whispered to my twin．"I have to use that telephone．"
Five minutes later，F(xiàn)rank towed me up Main Street，toward home．"Liza-"he began，but I cut him off．We two thought so much alike，I had Frank's questions answered before he even asked．
