When I boarded the plane to New York, I started my adventure to China.Next school year I will study as an exchange student in China. My flight to China was the longest journey that I have ever had. I went to the Boston airport really early to catch the 8:32 AM flight. When I got onto the plane, I found it was a very small plane. But the flight was only one hour so it wasn’t too bad.I made the connecting flight in New York. I had to hurry since there was only one hour for me to make the connection. When I rushed to the boarding gate, I was told that our flight was delayed due to poor weather conditions. Fortunately, I had told my host family in advance to check the latest information of my flight. When I got on board the plane an hour later, everything turned out smooth and pleasant. The flight attendants were very friendly, the food served on the plane was tasty and my aisle seat was really comfortable. After a 13-hour flight, I arrive in Beijing finally. Suddenly I saw so many Chinese people and heard so many people speaking Chinese. It was so exciting! Unfortunately I left my passport on the airplane, so I had to go back to find it. Finally I met my host family at the airport. Mr. Han Dongping, the father, works as general manager of a company and his son, Xiaolin, is a college sophomore majoring in Computer Science. They were both kind and friendly. It was very nice of them to meet me at the airport. As my first day in China, today marks the first step that I have taken to realize my dream. I know there would be hardships of living in China, but I am sure it is going to be a valuable experience of a lifetime. 1. Why is it an extraordinary day for Hans? A.

Passage 2 Given the options we have all around us these days, why would anyone ever read a book? We have movies to entertain us, video games to attract us, cell phones to distract us, and the latest reality TV to give us something to talk about. With so many buttons to push and screens to stare at, who has the time or patience to read a book? Because reading makes you smarter! The following reasons will convince you. First of all, reading can increase your vocabulary. Reading helps you to learn new words! People who can speak clearly and effectively make good first impressions, whether meeting new friends or in a job interview. Reading can exercise your brain. The mind is a muscle. It needs exercise. Understanding the written word is one way the mind grows in its ability. Compared to watching television where you simply sit and take everything in, reading forces you to think. Reading can broaden your knowledge. Reading can open you up to all kinds of new ideas. Your friends will be surprised when you can explain the in-depth details of the latest scientific discovery. Reading can also help reduce stress. What’s more relaxing than sitting outside and reading a novel on a lazy summer day? Our lives are packed with responsibilities from morning to night. Taking a few minutes to slow down can do a great deal for your mental health. Reading is an activity you can do at your own speed. Last but not least, reading can develop your imagination. A good writer will paint a picture of characters, settings and scenes, but they can only do so much for you. The rest is up to your imagination. In TV and movies, everything is given to you, but with books you have to come up with the details on your own. Reading encourages an active imagination, in adults as well as children. 6.

Because people run too fast today. B. Because people have a lot of stress today. C. Because people relax themselves too much. 10. In what way is reading better than TV or movies? A. Developing imagination. B. Developing confidence. C. Developing good habits.Passage 3 In your first year of studying English, you have been learning new words one at a time. But now, because of the nature of the English language, you can actually make your vocabulary grow even faster. Unlike most of the languages widely studied in the world, English has a vocabulary that is in several layers. The bottom layer is composed of the basic native English words that have always been part of the language. Then there is a mixed layer of words mostly from Greek and Latin. Some of these words came into English through French or Italian or Spanish but their origin was Greek or Latin. Then there is a more recent layer, mostly scientific or technical words intentionally made up from Greek and Latin elements. And mixed in the second and third layers are words from other languages spoken in countries throughout the world --- German, Chinese, Japanese, American Indian, Arabic, Persian, and many others. In all languages, words exist in set, in what can be thought of as word families. Sometimes, if you know the root form common to the words in a family, you can make a good guess about the general meaning of many words in that family. So knowing just one root form of one word in a family may help you make your vocabulary bigger by leading you to the other members of the family. But this process won’t work very well with most native English words, that is, those that go back one thousand years or more in the language. Knowing the origin of a word will not help you the figure out its meaning today, for it says nothing of the meaning of the words that historically are in the same family. The ancestor of “deer”, for example, is “deor” in Old English, but the old meaning was any small animal, even a mouse or a rabbit. “Speed” once meant success or power, and “uncouth” meant simply unknown. You need to learn such words one by one. 11. According to the passage, which of following is considered to be a good way to enlarge your vocabulary? A. Remembering native English words. B. Studying words from Latin and Greek.　 C. Knowing the nature of English. D. Paying attention to Old English words. 12. How many layers of English word are mentioned in the passage? A. Two B. Three C. Four D. None of the above 13. Most native English words ____________. A. have a history of about one thousand years or more B. can be learnt according to the root form common to words in a family C. can be understood according to the origin of words D. have similar meaning as their ancestors 14. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage? A. Some words in French have Greek or Latin origin. B. Knowing the origin of a word won’t always help to guess its real meaning. C. Most native English words need to be learnt one at a time. D. The word “deer” can be used refer to a mouse and rabbit. 15. What is this passage mainly about? A. The origin of native English words. B. How to make a good guess about the meaning of words. C. On learning more English words. D. The layers of English words.
