第1题：
Tell me about a city you have visited.
You should say:
where the city is and when you went there
what people can see and do in that city
why that city is special and explain why your visit to that city was memorable.
You will have to talk about the topic for one to two minutes.
You will have one minute to think about what you're going to say.
You can make some notes to help you if you wish.
The city that I visited most recently was Sydney. It's on the coast of South-East Australia and is one of the biggest cities in that country. It's most famous for it's opera house, which I went to on a tour. Nearby, there is a big bridge—I can't remember the name. It's shaped like an arch. I went there last month to visit a friend. There are many theatres, galleries and other cultural things to do there, but I spent most of my time just walking around. In the evenings, I went out to a few of the bars with my friend. They were a little expensive, but I enjoyed the atmosphere and we met some interesting people. There are still some old buildings from the colonial era and I took some photographs of them whenever I saw them on my walks. What makes the city special? I'd say that the people. Most people are friendly and cheerful. They seem very, optimistic. They are also very out-going and so Sydney is quite lively in the evenings—at least in the city centre. I'm looking forward to going there again someday.

第3题：
Maybe it is true that we don't know what we have got until we lose it, but it is also true that we don' t know what we have been missing until it arrives. Giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they will love you back. Don’t expect love in return; but be content that love has grown in your own heart.
It takes an hour to like someone, a day to love someone, but it takes a lifetime to forget someone. Don’t rely on one's appearance; it can deceive. Don’t rely on wealth; even that fades away. Rely on someone who makes you smile, because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright. There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug them. Dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go; be what you want to be, because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do. May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human, enough hope to make you happy.
Always put yourself in others' shoes. If you feel that it hurts you, it probably hurts others, too. The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way. Happiness waits for those who cry, those who have been hurt, those who have searched, and those who have tried, for only they can appreciate the importance of people who have touched their lives.
The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past. You can't go on well in life until you let your past failures and heartaches go off. When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling. Live your life so that when you die, you are the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying.
(1)You should rely on someone who makes you smile_______________.
A、because a smile can make your dark time easier.
B、because a smile is bright.
C、because you have nothing.
D、because you can believe someone
(2)What does the word “assurance” mean in the first paragraph?
A、return
B、promise
C、maintain
D、storage
(3)In the third paragraph, “Always put yourself in other's shoes” means_______________.
A、you should try other's shoes before you buy it.
B、you should make yourself small enough.
C、you should consider from another person's aspect.
D、None of the above.
(4) If you are the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying when you die, you are
A、Satisfied
B、Upset
C、Sad
D、Indifferent(冷漠的)
(5)What has been mentioned in the passage?
A、to tell us not to demand too much
B、to warn us not to believe in appearance
C、to consider other people and learn to forgive
D、all of the above
第4题：
What should you think about in trying to find your career? You are probably better at some school subjects than others. These may show strengths that you can use in your work. A boy who is good at mathematics can use that in an engineering career. A girl who spells well and likes English may be good at office work. So it is important to know the subjects you do well in at school. On the other hand, you may not have any specially strong or weak subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard. Although not all subjects can be used directly in a job, they may have indirect value. Knowledge of history is not required for most jobs but if history is one of your good subjects you will have learned to remember facts and details. This is an ability that can be useful in many jobs.
Your school may have taught you skills, such as typing or technical drawing, which you can use in your work. You may be good at metal work or cookery and look for a job where you can improve these skills.
If you have had a part-time job on Saturdays or in the summer, think what you gained from it. If nothing else, you may have learned how to get to work on time, to follow instructions and to get on with older workers. You may have learned to give correct change in a shop, for example. Just as important, you may become interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside in apart-time job. Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself. You may be all thumbs when you handle tools; perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a column of figures. It is bitter to face any weaknesses than to pretend they do not exist. Your school record, for instance, may not be too good, yet it is an important part of your background. You should not be apologetic about it but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work.
Which of the following best sums up the first paragraph?
查看材料
B．Using school performance to help to choose a career.
C．The importance of being good at all subjects.
D．The indirect value of schoolwork.

Passage Two
The letter you write is your personal representative. It takes your place when circumstances make it impossible for you to be there in person. It goes to the hospital to cheer a sick friend. It goes to your hostess to thank her for entertaining you. It conveys your best wishes, congratulations, condolences--when you are not able to do so in person.
A friendly letter is like a visit on paper. If you "hate to write letters", it's simply because you have not yet discovered the fun it can be to write and receive letters that are good talk on paper. Many people neglect to answer letters from relatives and friends. To a letter unanswered is like saying, "I don't think you are worth the time and effort it takes to write a letter."
36. According to the passage, when you can't come to a certain place in person, you can ______.
A. send somebody else instead
B. make a telephone call
C. send a telegraph
D. write a letter
36．答案为D。根据题干找到第一段第二句，It takes your place when circumstances make it impossible for you to be there in person作出该项选择。
