Dear Jamie,
It’s never easyto learn Chinese characters and essays. Even native Chinese speakers may find it hard to learn them well, so you don’t have to feel upset. Here are some useful tips. First, turn to the Internet for help when you have an unsolved problem, where you can learn how to read and write the characters. Second, you can learn from Chinese people around and I’m always here to help you. But the most important is to keep on learning and reading. Only by constant learning and reading can you promote your understanding to the traditional Chinese literature. You are sure to make progress!
Best wishes!
Yours
Li Hua

M: Since I discovered its big help-wanted section.
(Text 4)
W: We all talk about how liberated we are, but in fact women are still not equally treated.

(Text 5)
M: Your yard is always so beautiful, Cathy. You must have a gardener.
W: Oh, no. It would cost at least $50 a month to hire someone to do the work, so I do most of it myself. I enjoy taking care of the flowers, but I have to force myself to do the weeding and cut the grass.
(Text 6)
M: ⑦It’s 1:30 pm now. I’ve missed my plane.
W: Well, actually, the flight has been delayed due to the bad weather.

M: Yeah…(16)But I love this apartment. I would rather find another solution.
(Text 10)
W: Toasts are given on a variety of occasions. When you are asked to give a toast, keep that person as the center of attention. (20)Here are some tips of making a great toast speech.
(17)First, outline the speech. Even if you think you are the best speechwriter, you know, there’s always a chance that you will forget something during your speech. A small note card with an outline can help you focus on the event and the person. Writing can also help you organize your speech.
(18)Second, introduce yourself to start the speech. Not everyone at the event knows who you are. In the brief introduction, mention how you know the person you are toasting.
Third, tell a short story about the person you are toasting.
Fourth, refer to the purpose of the event. Congratulate the person that you are giving the toast for, and end the toast.
(19)Lastly, keep your toast short. This is the key to making a toast speech. The focus of the event is on the person you are toasting and not on your toast itself.

A
Explore the World Together
We invite the next generation of explorers to get out in the field and follow in the footsteps of National Geographic’s photographers, writers and scientists. Students completing 9th-12th grades are able to take part in the trips.
Our long history
National Geographic has been exploring the planet since 1888. We are able to create exciting travel experiences for students. Meet farmers in New Zealand, listen to ancient stories in Australia or do research with scientists in America. To make these trips possible, we have partnered with Putney Student Travel, an organization that has offered student trips for more than 60 years.
Travel groups
Traveling with other teenagers naturally creates a spirit of teamwork. Besides, seeing a place with your new friends brings a whole new world to your experience.
To lead our trips, we choose college students who love traveling. They are energetic, creative, responsible and knowledge. They would like to share their love for traveling with high school students.
Community service
On many trips, you have a chance to take part in community service projects that allow you know more about the place you are exploring and make a difference. You can teach students English, clean up a park or build a bird house.
Expectations
In order to increase students’ understanding of other peoples and customs, National Geographic provides travel experiences for students. We expect students to keep high standards of personal behavior. Students are selected on the basis of their willingness to live and learn in a supportive community environment.
B
Once upon a time, a boy moved house. On entering his new bedroom, he saw that it was full of toys, storybooks, pens, pencils and all of them were perfectly tidy.
That day he played all he liked, and went to bed without having tidied up.
Surprisingly the next morning all the toys had been put back in their proper places. He was sure that no one had entered his bedroom. The same thing happened that day, and the next, but when the fourth day arrived and he went to get his first toy of the day, the toy jumped out of his hands and said,“I don’t want to play with you!”
The same happened with every toy he touched. Finally, an old teddy bear said to him,“Are you surprised why we don’t want to play with you? You always leave us so far away from our proper places, and we feel uncomfortable and unhappy. Do you have any idea how difficult it is for the books to climb back up onto their shelves, or for the pencils to jump into their box? You have no idea how uncomfortable and cold the floor is! We won’t play with you any more until you promise to leave us in our little houses before you go to bed. ”
The boy remembered how comfortable and content he felt in his bed and how bad he felt when he had once slept in a chair. He realized how badly he had treated his friends, the toys. He asked their forgiveness, and from that day he always put his toys nicely in their special places before he got into bed.
59. How did the boy feel on entering his bed room?
A. frightened B. curious C. excited D. disappointed

This is an excerpt from Emma Watson’s speech at the United Nations headquarters.
Today we are launching a campaign（called "He For She"）. I am reaching out to you because we need your help. We want to end gender inequality, and to do this, we need everyone involved. This is the first campaign of this kind in the UN. We want to try to involve as many men and boys as possible to be advocates for change.
I started questioning gender-based assumption a long time ago. When I was 8, I was confused being called bossy because I wanted to direct a play that we put on for our parents, but the boys were not. When I was 14, I started to be sexualized by certain elements of the media. At 15, my girlfriends started dropping out of a lot of sports teams because they didn’t want to appear masculine. At 18, my male friends were unable to express their feelings.
I decided that I was a feminist. This seemed uncomplicated to me. But my recent research has shown me that feminism has become an unpopular word. Women are choosing not to identify as feminists. Why has the word become such an uncomfortable one? I’m from Britain and I think it is right that I am paid the same as my male counterparts. I think it is right that I should make decisions about my own body. I think it is right that women be involved on my behalf in the policies and decisions that will affect my life. I think it is right that socially, I am afforded the same respect as men.
But sadly, I can say that there is no one country in the world where all women can expect to receive these rights. No country in the world can yet say that they have achieved gender equality. These rights, I considered to be human rights, but I am one of the lucky ones.
My life is a sheer privilege because my parents didn’t love me less because I was born a daughter. My school did not limit me because I was a girl. My mentors didn’t assume that I would end up nowhere because I might give birth to a child one day. These influences were the gender equality ambassadors that made me who I am today. They may not know it but they are the inadvertent feminists who are changing the world today. We need more of those.
Men, I would like to take this opportunity to extend you a formal invitation. Gender equality is your issue, too. Because to date, I’ve seen young men suffering from mental illness, unable to ask for help for fear it will make them less of a man, or less of men. I’ve seen men made fragile and insecure by distorted sense of what constitutes male success. Men don’t have the benefits of equality, either. Both men and women should feel free to be sensitive, both men and women should be free to be strong. This is what "He For She" is about. It’s about freedom.
You might be thinking: who is this Harry Potter girl? What is she doing at the UN? I’ve been asking myself at the same thing. All I know is that I care about this problem and I want to make it better. And having seen what I’ve seen and given the chance, I feel my responsibility to say In my nervousness for this speech and in my moment of doubt, I told myself firmly: If not me, who? If not now, when? If you have similar doubts when opportunities are presented to you, I hope those words would be helpful. Because the reality is that if we do nothing, it will take 75 years, or for me it will be nearly 100 before women can be expected to be paid as same as men for the same work. 15.5 million girls will be married in the 16 years as children. At current rate, it will be until 2086 before all rural African girls can have secondary education. We are struggling for a uniting world, but the good news is we have a uniting movement. It is called “He For She”. I am inviting you to step forward, to be seen and to ask yourself: if not me, who? If not now, when?
Thank you.
51. The campaign “He For She” aims to ________.
A. give women more freedom than men
B. give men more freedom than women
C. involve as many men and boys as possible to live a free life.

This is a song millions of Americans will hear this New Year’s Eve. It is called Auld Lang Syne (《友谊地久天长》). It is the traditional music played during the New Year’s celebration. Auld Lang Syne is an old Scottish poem. It tells about the need to remember old friends.
The words “auld lang syne” mean “old long since”. No one knows who wrote the poem first. However, a version by Scottish poet Robert Bums was published (出版) in 1796. The words and music we know today first appeared in a songbook three years later.
The song is played in the United States mainly on New Year’s Eve. The version (译文) you are hearing today is by the Washington Saxophone Quartet. As we end our program with Auld Lang Syne. I would like to wish all of our radio friends a very Happy New Year! This is Buddy Thomas.
21. Where is this passage from?
A. A newspaper. B. A magazine. C. A TV program. D. A radio program.

A. On New Year’s Eve. B. On Christmas Eve. C. On weekends. D. On holidays.

“Cool” is a word with many meanings. Its old meaning is used to express a temperature that is a little bit cold. As the world has changed, the word has had many different meanings. “Cool” can be used to express feelings of interest in almost anything.
When you see a famous car in the street, maybe you will say, “It’s cool.” You may think, “He’s so cool,” when you see your favourite footballer. We all maximize the meaning of “cool”. You can use it instead of many words such as “new” or “surprising”. Here’s an interesting story we can use to show the way the word is used. A teacher asked her students to write about the waterfall they had visited. On one student’s paper was just the one sentence, “It’s so cool.” Maybe he thought it was the best way to show what he saw and felt.
But the story also shows a scarcity(缺乏) of words. Without “cool”, some people have no words to show the same meaning. So it is quite important to keep some credibility(可信性). Can you think of many other words that make your life as colourful as the word “cool”? I can. And I think they are also very cool.
24. We know that the word “cool” has had ______.
A. only one meaning B. no meanings C. many different meanings D. the same meaning
25. If you are ______ something, you may say, “It’s cool.”
A. interested in B. angry about C. afraid of D. unhappy with
26. The writer takes an example to show he is ______ the way the word is used.

It’s the basic nature of young children to touch the things in their environment that their parents find most unpleasant. Just try to keep your one-year olds from sticking the dog’s bone in their mouth!
Although health authorities suggest regular hand washing, it’s difficult not to worry about what your children are getting into and the effect it will have on their health. Infectious(传染的) diseases are a great cause for concern, but some would argue that our society has gone overboard when it comes to protecting our kids from bacteria(细菌).
An increasing body of research suggests that exposing little kids to bacteria may offer them greater protection from illnesses such as allergies(过敏) later on in life. It’s believed that when exposure to bacteria and viruses is limited early in life, children face a greater chance of having allergies and other autoimmune (自身免疫的)diseases during adulthood. In fact, kids with older brothers and sisters who grew up on a farm seem to show lower rates of allergies.
Just as a baby’s brain needs stimulation, input, and interaction to develop normally, the young immune(免疫的regulate itself, notes Thom McDade, PhD, associate professor and director of the Laboratory for Human Biology Research at Northwestern University.
Exactly which bacteria seem to do the trick hasn’t yet been confirmed. But new research offers clues. In a recent study, McDade’s team found that children who were exposed to more dirt and had more cases of diarrhea (腹泻) before age 2 had lower rates of inflammation (炎症) that has been linked to many adulthood diseases such as heart disease in adulthood.【2016年春高二下期英语测试卷英语】
We’re moving beyond this idea that the immune system is just involved in allergies and autoimmune diseases to think about its role in inflammation and other diseases, “McDade ”says. “Exposure to bacterium early in life may play an important role in preventing inflammation in adulthood.”
32. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Exposure to bacteria as a child can help protect him or her from some illnesses later in life.
B. Kids with older brothers and sisters have lower rates of allergies.
C. Exposure to bacterium will increase the chance of having allergies in adulthood.
D. Parents should protect their kids from exposure to bacteria.
33. The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refers to __________ .
A. a baby’s brain B. the young immune system
D. a baby’s body C. exposure to everyday bacterium
34. If a kid is exposed to dirt before age 2, he may_________.
A. have fewer cases of diarrhea in adulthood
B. develop a worse immune system than others
C. be more likely to have allergies later in life

However, if you started by saying, "I think gun control" you have let your audience know what your is (so they won't be confused).

Expensive and new gloves allow chatterboxes (话匣子) to take the term “handsfree” to a new level—by talking into them as they make a call. The gloves are known as “Talk to the Hand” and cost £1,000 a pair. They fixed a speaker unit into the thumb and a microphone into the little finger that can be connected to any mobile handset using Bluetooth.
Artist Sean Miles designed the new gloves that double as a phone in part of his project that shows the possibilities of gadget (小玩意) recycling. He uses outdated gloves and combines them with parts from mobile handsets recycled through commissioned (承担) the project. Mobile phone users will be able to keep their hands warm while they chat without taking their phones out of their pockets or handbags.
Mr. Miles designed two pairs of the new gloves — one in pink and the other in brown and yellow. They will appear in an exhibition this July and visitors will be able to win the gloves. If demand is high, they will then be produced on a larger scale. O2 Recycle, which backed the project, estimates that there are already 70 million unused mobile handsets in the UK. The service pays up to £260 to those who recycle gadgets including phones, handheld consoles (操纵台), MP3 players and digital cameras.
Designer Sean Miles hopes his work will get people thinking about recycling. The 41-year-old said,
“I hope that my „Talk to the Hand‟ project will get people to think again about the waste created by not recycling gadgets. If a few more people recycle their gadgets rather than send them to trash, I think this project will have fulfilled its aim.”
Bill Eyres, head of O2 Recycle, urges people to recycle their phone responsibly. He said, “There‟s a pressing need for all of us to look at outdated handsets, and all the gadgets that we move on from or upgrade each year. Whether they are consoles or cameras, we should think of them as a resource that we need to recycle responsibly rather than throw them away.”
48. The underlined word “O2” in Paragraph 2 is probably the name of ______.
A. an artist B. a company C. a mobile D. an exhibition
49. Consumers can buy the “Talk to the Hand” gloves ______.
A. in the exhibition B. from Mr Miles
C. when they are mass-produced D. after they recycle the gadgets
50. The purpose of the project is to _______.
A. promote the technology of IT B. enable people to talk to their hands
