8.The companies below offer student accommodation(住宿) all around London,no matter what university you are attending.And they limit the complications (復(fù)雜) that other rental companies can have (such as paying for heat and hot water,paying your rent yearly and so on).
CRM Students has 12different properties (房產(chǎn)) to choose from in London with various size choices depending on your budget and requirements.Prices start from£140per week.
International Students House is unique because they offer twin,triple and quad rooms,which means they are cheaper per week than others.Of course,you will be sharing your bedroom with up to three other people.Prices start from£78.4per week.
Prodigy Living has several properties in London ( most of which have just been decorated) and offers en-suite (套房) rooms in flats and one-bedroom flats.Prices start from£209per week.
Scape Living has properties in Greenwich,Surrey and Shoreditch,with the latter two being new apartments as of 2015,which means they will be in pretty good condition.Prices start from£185per week.
Unite Students offers student accommodation in various areas of London,from en-suite rooms to two-bedroom flats,with lots of sharing choices available.Prices start from£169per week.
These student housing associations are the best I found on the Internet for cheap student accommodation in London; however,I am aware that new ones are appearing every day.For a full list of associations like these ( but most are more expensive than those listed above),I recommend checking out UCL's alternative accommodation page.
Note:Most rooms require a small deposit (押金),which is typically the same value as your weekly rental price ( for example,£200per week=£200deposit before you move in).
25.Why does the author recommend the companies above?D
A.Because they offer all kinds of student accommodation.
B.Because they allow students to pay the rent weekly.
C.Because they mainly provide one-bedroom flats.
D.Because they avoid the need for students to pay extra for facilities(設(shè)施) in the room.
26.The rent of the houses that International Students House offers is cheaper than others because
A.
A.students have to share the bedrooms with others
B.students needn't pay for heat and water
C.most of the houses have just been decorated
D.students don't have the right to choose the room size
27.How much will you pay if you want to rent a new apartment?D
A.At least£140per week.
B.At least£78.40per week.
C.At least£195per week.
D.At least£185per week.

3.How to make a Budget
Most likely,you aren't the family breadwinner.But doing a small job or getting a weekly allowance would put some money in your pocket.For kids and grown-ups alike money is easy to spend.If you aren't careful,it can be gone in no time.
Being responsible with your money is an important skill to learn and the sooner you start the better.Whether you are tracking your spending or saving for something special,creating a budget can help you deal with expenses and plan for the future.All you need are paper and a pencil and some self-control.
First,take a look at our sample monthly budget.Then,use a separate sheet of paper to plan your own.In the first two columns,list your sources of income and how much you expect to earn from them.In the third and fourth columns,list what you expect to spend your money on and the amount.

Budgets are not complex,but sticking to them can be tough.When planning your budget,be realistic about your expenses.If you know that you drop 18at a movie,don't write 12in that space simply because you wish you were spending less.
If you are eyeing a big purchase,such as a 150skateboard,spend less and save more until you have the total amount.No matter how attractive it may be,avoid spending your savings.One day,you will thank yourself!

13.About 97% of the world's water is salty and is found in our oceans and seas.But,as we can't drink seawater,how can it be important?
Every part of our seas and oceans contains an amazing number of animals and fish that live at different ocean depths.Most of the different species of animals and fish depend on simple plants for their food.These simple plants called algae (海藻) drift near the surface of the ocean and use sunlight to turn carbon dioxide and water into food and oxygen.In fact,algae produce over half of the oxygen people breathe.How important seawater is!
Each plant or animal in our seas and oceans is an important link in a food chain.The algae are eaten in large amounts by tiny animals,which are in turn consumed by larger animals.These food chains are delicately (微妙地) balanced.
The bad news about the food chains in the oceans is that they are under threat because of man.People once thought that the oceans were so big that it didn't matter if we dumped rubbish into them or caught huge quantities of fish and whales for food.But we now know this is not true and fish stocks in the oceans have started to drop.
Thankfully,the world is taking steps to protect the future of our oceans by introducing international agreements to protect marine habitats.Most countries have introduced fishing restrictions (限制) to protect fish stocks in the oceans and new techniques are being pioneered to deal with pollution.Finally,the importance of protecting oceans is being made known to more people.This is just the beginning of a long process to protect the oceans for our future.We depend on the oceans for fish which are an important part of the human diet.How important seawater is!
32.People used to think that the rubbish thrown into the seaD.
A.wouldn't harm the fish in the sea
B.would change the balance of the food chain
C.would be broken down in the sea
D.wouldn't do much harm to the sea
33.From the passage,we learn thatC.
A.most fish and sea animals live at the surface of the seas
B.it is very difficult to break the balance of a food chain
C.over-fishing has caused the decrease in fish stock
D.it won't be long before the problems concerning oceans will be solved
34.Which of the following is NOT a way being used to protect oceans?B
A.The use of international agreements.
B.Forbidding fishing to protect fish stocks.
C.The use of new techniques.
D.Raising people's awareness of the need to protect oceans.
35.What would be the best title of the passage?A
A.The Importance of Seawater.
B.Life in the Oceans.
C.How to Protect Food Chains.
D.How to Deal with Seawater Pollution.

17.Electric cars are dirty.In fact,not only are they dirty,but they might even be more dirty than their gasoline-powered cousins.
People in California love to talk about"zero-emissions (排放) vehicles",but people in California seem to be clueless about where electricity comes from.Power plants mostly use fire to make it.Apart from the few people who have their roofs covered with solar cells,we get our electricity from generators (發(fā)電機(jī)).Generators are fueled by something----usually coal,oil,but also by heat generated in nuclear power plants.There are a few wind farms and geothermal (地?zé)幔?nbsp;plants as well,but by far we get electricity mainly by burning something.
In other words,those"zero-emissions"cars are likely coal-burning cars.Because the coal is burned somewhere else,it looks clean.It is not true.It's as if the California Greens are covering their eyes----"If I can't see it,it's not happening."Gasoline is an incredibly (極其) efficient way to power a vehicle; a gallon of gas has a lot of energy in it.But when you take that gas (or another fuel) and first use it to make electricity,you waste a nice part of that energy,mostly in the form of wasted heat--at the generator,through the transmission lines,etc.
A gallon of gas may drive your car 25miles.But the electricity you get from that gallon of gas won't get you nearly as far---so electric cars burn more fuel than gasoline-powered ones.If our electricity came mostly from wind or geothermal,or solar,then an electric car truly would be clean.But for political,technical,and economic reasons,we don't use much of those energy sources.
In addition,electric cars'batteries which are poisonous for a long time will eventually end up in a landfill (垃圾填埋場).And finally,when cars are the polluters,the pollution is spread across all the roads.When it's a power plant,though,all the junk is in one place.Nature is very good at cleaning up when things are not too concentrated,but it takes a lot longer when all the garbage is in one spot.
32.Which of the following words can replace"be clueless about"in Paragraph 2?B
A.be familiar with.
B.fail to understand.
C.be curious about.
D.show their interest in.
33.The electricity we get from a gallon of gas may make our car runC.
A.a(chǎn)t least 25miles                    
B.more than 25miles
C.less than 25miles                   
D.a(chǎn)s far as 25miles
34.In the author's opinion,compared with cars using gas,electric cars are moreA.
A.harmful                        
B.expensive
C.efficient                   
D.environmentally-friendly
35.It can be inferred from the passage thatB.
A.electric cars'batteries are no longer poisonous in the landfill
B.electric cars are not clean since we get electricity mainly by burning something
C.zero-emissions vehicles should be chosen to protect our environment
D.now electric cars are used more than their gasoline-powered cousins.

The setting:Urban England (the cities),but also rural England (the countryside) including remote English villages.
The theme:The main theme is a teenage search of self-discovery,in this case the search for a mother from whom the hero was separated at an early age.Its other concerns are love,getting on with others,being persistent and courageous and trying to deal with doubts,troubles and worries.As the book moves to a close,James'swimming coach says to him:"You are not like a kid obeying instructions any more.You are diving like a young man who knows where he is going."

The journey:Instead of going to London,James decides to find his birth mother.With help from his geography teacher,James sets out for the remote country village where his mother might be found.James has painful,challenging,but also humorous and happy travels.The mother he finally meets,Anne,has a minor yet powerful voice in the novel.He comes to understand why she left him at a stranger's door fifteen years before.Although the meeting is not long,it leaves him with a feeling of completeness.As a journey of self-discovery The Snake-Stone also provides its readers with a happy ending.Its hero says,on returning to his foster parents,"I was home."
32.What do the coach's words in Paragraph 2suggest?D
A.James is a successful diver.
B.James is a hopeful swimmer.
C.James is an outgoing young man.

C.a(chǎn) gift from the swimming coach             
D.a(chǎn) fossil left by the foster parents
34.Which of the following is true about the novel?C
A.The story has a sad ending.
B.The story takes place in the city of London.
C.The characters are vividly(生動地) described.
D.The turning point comes after the hero meets his birth mother.
35.It can be concluded that James'journey isA.
A.worthwhile          
B.boring          
C.comfortable      
D.disappointing.
