Many people from overseas believe that it rains a lot in London, but in fact its rainfall is similar to that in other European cities. Rainfall is evenly (平均地) spread during the year, so  even in summer a visitor is likely to experience some     weather. In spring and autumn there are likely to be some heavy showers, often followed by sunshine. In winter the rain is usually lighter but may    for longer.
In the summer, if there are a few days of particularly hot weather, these are often
   by a thunderstorm. It is because the weather can change very quickly that many British people carry a(an)umbrella with them throughout the year, even when it appears to be a
   day.
The UK’s weather is strongly influenced by the sea which surrounds Britain and Ireland. The sea warms up and       more slowly than land, keeping winters relatively warm but also making the summers cooler.
You may be wise to bring      warm to wear in the evenings even during the summer months. Very hot days (over 30 C) are not common, so air conditioning is not as widespread as in warmer countries.
During the winter people will often wear several different layers (層) of clothing. This allows them to keep warm when walking outside, but to     comfortable when inside a heated building.

試題分析:短文大意:來自海外的許多人相信,在倫敦經(jīng)常下雨,但事實上它的降雨量類似于其他歐洲城市。降雨均勻分布在一年內(nèi),所以即使在夏天,游客可能會經(jīng)歷一些潮濕的天氣。在春季和秋季,可能會有一些大雨,經(jīng)常伴隨著陽光。冬天的雨通常較小但可能持續(xù)時間更長。英國的天氣是由于圍繞著英國和愛爾蘭海的強烈影響。海洋升溫和涼下來都比陸地更慢,讓冬天相對溫暖而且使夏天變涼。

閱讀短文,根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容回答問題。
It was early evening on September 14th. Glen James, a homeless man was passing by a store inBoston when he happened upon a black bag. To see whose the bag is, Glen opened it only to find that it was filled with money - $2,400 in cash and almost $40,000 in traveler’s checks, as well as, a passport and other papers.
While other people in similar situations would have been tempted (引誘), Glen who has been homeless since 2005, did not even think twice. He showed the bag to a police officer, and the police officer gave it back to a Chinese tourist who had reported it lost. What Glen did was reported by newspapers, all over the country.
While most people that read itfelt surprised at the man’s honesty, 27-year-old Ethan Whittington thought Glen should get money for what he did. So he decided to set up a money collection website. He set a goal of $50,000, which he believed was reasonable because it was more than what Glen had discovered in the bag. The marketing manager fromVirginia thought he would be lucky to raise a few hundred dollars. Instead, within just a day, the website had gone over the $50,000 goal, encouraging Ethan to set a higher goal of $250,000 so that he could help Glen buy a house and start a new life.
As of now, $113,000 has been raised. Ethan who has talked to Glen over the phone, plans to visit Boston soon and also help him manage the money wisely. Needless to say, the homeless man is surprised at whathe is receiving for doing the right thing – Honesty, certainly pays off!
小題1:Did Glen find money in the black bag?
小題2:Who gave the bag back to the Chinese tourist?
小題3:What did Ethan decide to do after he read the news of Glen?
小題4:How much money has been raised by now?
小題5:What can we learn from Glen and Ethan?

Dear Alice,
You really have two difficult questions here, so we’ll discuss them one at a time. Your problems at school may be a result of a number of things. You don’t say much about how these classmates get along with each other. It’s possible that all the students are feeling a little cautions(謹(jǐn)慎) in the first term.
It’s also possible that the others are unkind. If this is so, you have to find out why you are the class “outsider”.
In your letter you often offer to help others with their work. Is it possible that your classmates didn’t understand your offers? Could it seem that you were trying to “buy” friends with these offers?
Is it possible that you took no notice of your classmates when you had your good friends near you? They may have left hurt at that time. It may take a time for them to believe in you. If so, try to ask one classmate directly what the problem is. If you hear a negative(負(fù)面的) answer,at least you’ll know what to do.
Yours,
Shelia

Body language is the quiet, secret and most powerful language of all! It is said that our body movements communicate about 50 percent of what we really mean while words only express 7 percent. So, while your mouth is closed, your body is just saying..
Arms. How you hold your arms shows how open and receptive(能容納的) you are to people you meet. If you keep your arms to the sides of your body or behind your back, this suggests you are not afraid of anything. Outgoing people generally use their arms with big movements, while quieter people keep them close to their bodies. If someone upsets you, just cross your arms to show you're unhappy!
Head.When you want to appear confident, keep your head level(水平). However, to be friendly in listening or speaking, you must move your head a little.
Legs. Your legs will move around a lot more than usual when you are nervous or telling lies.
Posture(姿勢). A good posture makes you feel better about yourself. If you are feeling unhappy, you usually don't sit straight, with your shoulders inwards. This makes breathing more difficult and makes you feel nervous or uncomfortable.
    Face.When you lie, you might put on a false face. But that expression would not last long.  And your true emotions such as happiness, sadness, fear and so on will come through.
小題1: When someone is keeping his arms behind his back, he tries to tell you that       .
A.he is outgoingB.he is angry
C.he is not afraidD.he is cool
小題2:If you want to appear confident, you should       .
A.move your arms a lotB.keep your head level

A.Your legs move around a lot more than usual.
B.You sit straight and hold your head up.
C.You put on a false face
D.You keep the arms to the sides of the body.
小題4:What can we infer(推斷) from the passage?
A.Different people in different countries must have the same understanding of the same body movement.
B.Body language can express more meanings than words
C.We cannot communicate with others without words.
D.It's not polite to use body language in communication.
小題5:Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?
A.Body language, the most powerful language
B.Arms tell more than legs
C.Facial expressions tell the truth
