Duane, Rodney, Horace, Sandra 和 Rachel 正計劃選一個景點去過周末。閱讀下面六個景點的介紹,選出符合個人個性特長的最佳選項。選項中有一項是多余選項。
Now Obama has been President of the USA. Rodney is very excited because his grandfather used to be a friend of Martin Luther King and Rosa Parks and devoted himself to the struggle of civil rights for black people in the USA. He wants very much to find a museum where he can learn more about their struggle.
Noticing Sandra has been very tired from weeks of hard work at her lessons, her father decides to take her for a relaxation visit to an entertainment place. Now Sandra is asked to pick out an attraction where her father can see some wonderful exhibits, while she herself can enjoy some splendid music.
As a hard-working student who will head for the major that has a lot to do with botany after he graduates from high school, Rachel hopes to find an attraction which offers him the knowledge of plants and the connection between plants and nature.
As an active and energetic student, Duane has a special interest in the great athletes, great champions and their achievements of his state. Therefore, he has a strong desire that he should find a wonderful place where he can feast his eyes by using the coming weekend.
Maybe greatly affected by his father who is a well-known scientist, Horace has shown a great gift for science. Now he has come up with an idea: Why not try to find a science center where he himself can do some real scientific actions?

Here are five letters from readers listed in 1-5. All the greetings and signatures are left out. Suppose you are a secretary of the magazine CR (Crazy English Reader), for each one find a suitable reply from A-F. Mark the correct letter (A-F) on your answer sheet. There is one extra reply which you don’t need to use.
1. I am a reader of CR. Recently I found students translate some articles of CR. I appreciate your offering an opportunity to us beginners to practise using English. So I want to ask how they can obtain these articles and translated them for you, and what qualities you require. Thank you.
2. I love your Crazy English Reader magazine! It provides valuable data for work in our English teaching. My wife and I are teaching Conversational English so I’ve been giving you a bit of a plug at our middle school. I told the students to “get a copy!” It’s good stuff! Fantastic!
3. I’m one of Yao’s fans from Guangzhou. I have read the Yao Ming articles in No.7 Crazy English Reader. I want to know his correspondence address and the official website. Could you please tell me? Thank you very much indeed.
4. First of all, I must say thank you very much to all the CE Reader editors who gave us a really good English magazine. Secondly, I want to give you a piece of advice. In each passage, you gave us some new words with their Chinese translation. However, as far as my knowledge, I think you should give us not only the Chinese meaning but also the English meaning so as to know the words more accurately. Thank you!
5. I am an editor of the English Monthly of our school. I have a question that is how to say the position of the paper e.g., 總編 責任編輯 and so on. I hope you can help me to tell me the word in English. The more the better. Thank you so much! I love the book very much. Now, I do this work, I need study more information about this work, if you have time, please email me. Thank you.
Thank you for your suggestion. We may try that in some future issues of CR. I think the best way to improve your reading vocabulary is to be able to guess the meaning of the word from the other words around it. Also, if you have an English dictionary, it’s good to look up the words and then mark them down in a notebook and review them later on. Then if you really want to learn how to use the words, try using them in conversation or in writing. Hope this helps.
The best way for you to learn the different positions in a newspaper or magazine is to get a copy of an all-English magazine or newspaper and then copy down the different positions. There are also titles such as Managing Editor, reporter, Copy Editor, Photo Editor and Layout Editor. I hope this helps. If you have some more specific questions, you can send them to me and I’ll try to answer.
C.The best way to reach Yao directly is through his home team, the Shanghai Sharks. You can write him at 2570 Xietu Road, Shanghai. For more information on Yao, you can look at the sports section in sina. com. I hope this helps. Another idea is that you can try to write Yao while he’s living and playing in Houston. You can try to reach Yao in the US at: Yao Ming Compaq Centre 10 Houston, TX 77046
Thank you for being such a careful reader of CR. Yes, you’re right we made a mistake in the writing of that Chinese word. Each issue we try to read very carefully each article and its translation to make sure there are no mistakes, but unfortunately a few mistakes always get by. But you encourage us to keep improving, so thank you.
Yes, we do have several students who help us translate some of the articles in our magazine. We contact these translators directly after interviewing their translation work. Afterwards we assign the articles to them for translation. If you are interested in being one of our translators you can send us some information about yourself and a sample of your translation work.
Thank you for helping us to promote CR. We’re glad it’s helpful to your students. We always try to include articles that reflect real life. It’s our hope that CR will not only improve student’s English but also open up a different worldview.

科目:高中英語 來源:2013屆寧夏銀川一中高三第六次考試英語試卷(帶解析) 題型:閱讀理解
People in the UK often talk about their homes: their mortgages (按揭), the interest rates, and rising prices. Here’s a guide to some of the words and phrases you might come across.
It’s a good idea in the UK to arrange a mortgage with a bank before you start looking. This is when the bank tells you how much money they will lend you so you have a good idea of how much you can afford.
The next step is to go to an estate agent and see what sort of properties they have available in your budget range and in your area. If you see something you like, the estate agent will arrange for you to view the property, so that you can see the house or flat for yourself.
If you see something that takes your eye, you put in an offer. The vendor (賣家) can accept or decline this offer, and if the vendor accepts it, you can move forward with the sale. However, as you don’t pay any money at this point, the offer isn’t legally binding (具有約束力), and in theory, you can pull out of the offer at any time that you like.
Your next step will probably be to get a structural survey done. A qualified surveyor will inspect the house and write a report that illustrates any structural problems, like damp or drainage problems.
If you still want to go ahead with the sale, you need to appoint a lawyer to do the legal paperwork.. If you already own a house, you might also be busy trying to sell it. Many house owners prefer to sell to first-time buyers (those people who don’t already own a home), as they are not in a chain (waiting for other people to buy the house before they can buy their next house).
Finally, once the contracts are signed and exchanged, you complete on your house. You get the keys and you can move in whenever you want. Then you might want to throw a house-warming party. Congratulations!
【小題1】 Which of the following shows the right order of what happens before the people in the UK move into a new house?
a. ask for a company which represents others of properties
b. decide how much to borrow from the bank
c. examine the structure of the house
d. hire a lawyer and make a contract
e. offer the seller the right money
f. visit the house and discuss a price with the seller
A.b, a, f, d, c, e | B.b, a, f, c, d, e |
C.b, a, f, e, d, c | D.b, f, d, e, c, a |
A.People can borrow the whole money for a new house from a bank. |
B.People care for mortgages, interest rates and the prices &house. |
C.The sellers are more interested in the first-time buyers. |
D.After getting the keys, the owners sometimes have a party. |
A.Owners. | B.Surveyors. |
C.Lawyers. | D.Collectors. |
A.give some advice on the house |

根據短文內容,從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。
__1__ From 18-25, according to I.Q. scores; but you are wiser and more experienced with increasing age.
You are smartest in your 20`s; around 30, your memory begins to go down, particularly your ability to perform mathematical computations, __2__ Your vocabulary at the age of 45, for example , is three times as great as then you graduated form college.

Though the peak in most fields comes early, most Nobel Prize winners did their top research in their late 20`s and 30`---creative people continue to produce work with high quality throughout their lives.__5__.
