changed at least once a week．You will be given the house key and the host is there to offer
help and advice as well as to take an interest in your physical and mental health．
Accommodation Zones
Homestays are located in London mainly in Zones2，3and of the transport system．Most
hosts do not live in the town centre as much of central London is commercial and not
residential（居住的）．Zones3and 4often offer larger accommodation in a less crowned
area．It is very convenient to travel in London by Underground．
Meal Plans Available
♢Continental Breakfast

♢Breakfast，Packed Lunch and Dinner
It's important to note that few English families still provide a traditional cooked
breakfast．Your accommodation includes Continental Breakfast which normally consists of
fruit juice，cereal（谷物类食品），bread and tea or coffee．Cheese，fruit and cold meat are
not normally
part of a Continental Breakfast in England．Dinners usually consist of meat or fish with
vegetables followed by desert，fruit and coffee．

have no right to entertain friends in a family home as some families feel it is an invasion of
their privacy．
Self﹣Catering Accommodation in Private Homes
Accommodation on a room﹣only basis includes shared kitchen and bathroom facilities and
often a main living room．This kind of accommodation offers an independent lifestule and is
more suitable for the long﹣stay student．However，it does not provide the same family
atmosphere as an ordinary homestay and may not benefit those who need to practise English at
home quite as much．

18．（12.5 分）In the fall of 1985．I was a bright﹣eyed ghl heading off to Howard University，
aiming at a legal career and dreaming of sitting on a Supreme Court bench
somewhere．Twenty﹣one years later I am later I am still a bright﹣eyed dreamer and one
with quite a different tale to tell．
My grandma，an amazing woman，graduated from college an the age of 65．She was the
first in our family to reach that goal．But one year after I started college，she developed
cancer．I made the choice to withdraw from college to care for her．It meant that school and
my personal dream would have to wait．
Then I got married with another dream：building my family with a combination of adopt and
biological children．In 1999，we adopted our first son．To lay eyes on him was fantastic﹣
﹣﹣and very emotional．A year later came our second adopted boy．Then followed son
No.3．In 2003，I gave birth to another boy．
You can imagine how fully occupied I became，raising four boys under the age of 81．Our
home was a complete zoo﹣﹣﹣a joyous zoo．Not surprising，I never did make it back to
college full﹣time．But I never gave up on the dream either．I had only one choice：to find a
way．That meant talking as few as one class each semester．
The hardest part was feeling guilty about the time I spent away from the boys．They often
wanted me to stay home with them．There certainly were times I wanted to quit，But I knew
I should set an example for them to follow through the rest of their lives．
In 2007，I graduated from the University of North Carolina．It took me over 21years to get
my college degree！
I am not special，just single﹣minded．It always struck me that when you're looking at a big
challenge from the outside it looks huge，but when you're in the midst of it，it just seems
normal．Everything you want won't arrive in your life on one day．It's a
process．Remember；little steps add up to big dreams．
41．When the author went to Howard University，her dream was to be

19．（12.5 分）An idea that started in Seattle's public library has spread throughout America and
beyond．The concept is simple：help to build a sense of community in a city by getting
everyone to read the same book at the same tome．
In addition to encouraging reading as a pursuit （追求） to be enjoyed by all，the program
allows strangers to communicate by discussing the book on the bus，as well as promoting
reading as an experience to be shared in families and schools．The idea came from Seattle
librarian Nancy Pearl who launched （发起）the"If All of Seattle Read the Same
Book"project in 1998．Her original program used author visits，study guides and book
discussion groups to bring people together with a book，but the idea has since expanded to
many other American cities，and even to Hong kong．
In Chicago，the mayor（市长）appeared on television to announce the choice of To Kill a
Mockingbird as the first book in the"One Book，One Chicago"program．As a result，reading
clubs and neighbourhood groups sprang up around the city．Across the US，stories emerged
of parents and children reading to each other at night and strangers chatting away on the bus
about plot and character．
The only problem arose in New York，where local readers could not decide on one book to
represent the huge and diverse population．This may show that the idea works best in medium
﹣sized cities or large towns，where a greater sense of unity（一致）can be achieved．Or it
may show that New Yorkers rather missed the point，putting all their energy
And passion into the choice of the book rather than discussion about a book itself．
Ultinatel was Nancy points out，the level of sucicess is not meastured by how many people
read a book，but by how many people are enriched by the process．or have enjoyed speaking
to someone with whom they would not otherwise have shared a word．
46．What is the purpose of the project launched by Nancy？
A．To invite authors to guide readers．
B．To encourage people to read and share．
C．To involve people in communnity service．
D．To promote the friendship between cities．
47．Why was it difficult for New Yorkers to carry out the projict？
A．They had little interest in reading．
B．They were too busy to read a book．
C．They came from many different backgrounds
D．They lacked support from the locat government
48．According to the passage，where would the project be more easily carried out？
A．In large communities with little sense of unity
B．In large cities where libraries are far from home
C．In medium﹣sized cities with a diverse population
D．In large towns where agreement can be quickly reached
49．The underlined words"shared a word"in Paragraph 5probably mean
A．exchanged ideas with each other
B．discussed the meaning of a word
C．gamed life experience
D．used the same language
50．According to Nacy，the degree of students of the project is judged by
A．the careful selection of a proper book
B．the growing popularity of the writers
C．the number of people who benefit from reading．
D．the number of books that each person reads．
20．（12.5 分）Blind imitation （模仿）is self﹣destruction．To those who do not recognize
their
unique
worth．
Imitation
appears
attractive：
to
those
who
know
their
strenghth．Imitation is unacceptable．
In the early stages of skill or character development，imitation is helpful．When I first
learned to cook，I used recipes （菜谱） and turned out some tasty dishes．But soon I grew
bored．Why follow someone else's way of cooking when I could create my own？Imitating
role models is like using training wheels on a child's bicycle； they help you get going，but
once you find your own balance，you fly faster and farther without relying on them．
In daily life，imitation can hurt us if we subconsciously （下意识地） hold poor role
models．If，as a child，you observed people whose lives were bad，you may have accepted
their fear and pain as normal and gone on to follow what they did．If you do not make strong
choices for yourself，you will get the results of the weak choices of others．
In the field of entertainment，our culture glorifies celebrities．Those stars look great on
screen．But when they step off screen，their personal lives may be disastrous．If you are
going to follow someone，focus on their talent，not their bad character or unacceptable
behaviors．
Blessed is the person willing to act on their sundden desire to create somrthing unique．Think
of the movies，books，teachers，and friends that have affected you most deeply．They
touched you because their creations were motivated by inspiration，not desperation．The
world is changed not by those who do what has been done brfore them，but by those who do
what has been done inside them．Creative people have an endless resource of ideas．The
problem a creator faces is not running out of material；it is what to do with the material
knocking at the door of imagination．
Syudy your role models，accept the gifts they have given，and leave behind what does not
server．Then you can say，"I stand on the shoulders of my ancestors"tragedies and tory，
and know that they are cheering on．
51．Imitation proves useful when you ．
A．know you are unique
B．lose the bslance of life
C．begin to learn something new
D．get tired of routine practice
52．To avoid the bad result of imitation，we should ．
A．forget daily fear and pain
B．choose the right example
C．ask others for decisions
D．stay away from stars
53．Acording to the author．The world moves on because of those who are ．
A．desperate to intruence others with their knowledge
B．ready to turn their original ideas into reality
C．eager to discover what their ancestors did
D．willing to accept others'ideas
54．The trouble a creator faces is ．
A．the lack of strong motivation
B．the absence of practical ideas
C．how to search for more materials
D．how to use imagination creatively
55．What is the author's purpose in writing this passage？
A．To highlight the importance of creatively．
B．To criticize the characters of role models．
C．To compare imitation with creation．
D．To explain the meaning of success．

and sleepless nights，bringing about relaxation，free time and friends．Students who wish to

experience，"she said．"Every year，we meet many students who have attended the
