3．Homestay provides English language students with the opportunity to speak English outside the classroom and the experience of being part of a British home．
What to Expect
The host will provide accommodation and meals．Rooms will be cleaned and bedcovers changed at least once a week．You will be given the house key and the host is there to offer help and advice as well as to take an interest in your physical and mental health．
Accommodation Zones
Homestays are located in London mainly in Zones 2，3and 4of the transport system．Most hosts do not live in the town centre as much of central London is commercial and not residential．Zones 3and 4often offer larger accommodation in a less crowded area．It is very convenient to travel in London by underground．
Meal Plans Available
?Continental Breakfast
?Breakfast and Dinner
?Breakfast，Packed Lunch and Dinner
It's important to note that few English families still provide a traditional cooked breakfast．Your accommodation includes Continental Breakfast which normally consists of fruit juice，cereal （谷物類食品），bread and tea or coffee．Cheese，fruit and cold meat are not normally part of a Continental Breakfast in England．Dinners usually consist of meat or fish with vegetables followed by desert，fruit and coffee．
Friends
If you wish to invite a friend over to visit，you must first ask your host's permission．You have no right to entertain friends in a family home as some families feel it is an invasion of their privacy．
Self-Catering Accommodation in Private Homes
Accommodation on a room-only basis includes shared kitchen and bathroom facilities and often a main living room．This kind of accommodation offers an independent lifestyle and is more suitable for the long-stay student．However，it does not provide the same family atmosphere as an ordinary homestay and may not benefit those who need to practice English at home quite as much．

70．The passage is probably written forD．
A．hosts willing to receive foreign students
B．foreigners hoping to know British culture
C．travelers planning to visit families in London
D．English learners applying to live in English homes
71．Which of the following will the host provide？A
A．Room cleaning．   B．Medical care．
C．Free transport．  D．Physical training．
72．According to the passage，what does Continental Breakfast include？C
A．Dessert and coffee．
B．Fruit and vegetables．
C．Bread and fruit juice．
D．Cereal and cold meat．
73．Why do some people choose self-catering accommodation？D
A．To experience a warmer family atmosphere．
B．To enrich their knowledge of English．
C．To entertain friends as they like．
D．To enjoy much more freedom．

11．Defenders of the French language are angered by plans to introduce courses taught in English at public universities，arguing that France must protect itself against the risk of losing its culture identity．
The French Parliament recently started to debate the issue as part of a bill on a broader reform of higher education，but all attention has focused on an article that would lift a 19-year ban on English as a teaching language at public universities．
The French government backs the change，which it says would help French graduates compete in a global economy as the country struggles to regain competitiveness．More French students fearing poor job prospects at home，where youth unemployment is nearly 25percent，are studying and working abroad．One of their main destinations is London，which now has the sixth largest French population in the world．
However，opponents of the bill，including professors，lawmakers and the French language supervision body Academic France，say the global community of French-speaking peoples must be defended and that the change would be a betrayal（背叛） of other French-speaking nations．"If France gives other French-speaking countries the wrong signal by leading an attack against the language，that would be a very，very regrettable thing indeed，"said Claude Hagege，a language scientist．
France has long defended its culture at home and abroad．In 1994，the so-called"Toubon Law"made the use of French compulsory in all TV broadcasts，meaning all foreign-language programs are dubbed（配音），while radio stations must play at least 40percent of French music for most of the day．
Business leaders criticize France's low ranking for English proficiency（熟練度）-it placed 23rd in a 2012global ranking published by education company Education First-even though the use of English has grown notably in academic circles．
Higher Education Minister Genevieve Fioraso said offering English would increase the appeal of French universities at a time when they are falling further behind in international rankings．In a 2011-2012survey by Britain's Times newspaper，the highest-ranked French university is in the 59th position．Private business schools where English is taught rank higher．
（Note：Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS．）

78．What does"the change"in Paragraph 3refer to？Allowing using English as a teaching language at public universities．
79．Some people are against the change because they think it wouldbe a betrayal of other French-speaking nations/make France lose its cultural identity．
80．According to"Toubon Law"，what is a must for TV stations in France？Using French in all TV broadcasts/The use of French in all TV broadcasts．
81．Genevieve Fioraso thinks the release of the bill may help French universitiesattract more students/be more appealing/rank higher in international rankings．

8．Common phrases like"no pains，no gains"give the impression that we ought to be suffering while we study．It's almost as though the only way to know if we're putting in enough work is the sense of hardship we bear．
When we haven't taken the time to come up with another idea，all we know how to do is shut ourselves in a room with a book．It's no surprise that we find revision boring and difficult．Just as children learn from playing，we can learn from doing，or at least from study techniques that interest us，rather than make us switch off．
Shutting yourself away can make you learn to hate studying．This leads to a situation where instead of being able to concentrate on your work，you are troubled by how unfair it is that you must study．
When you hate your work it's very difficult to make yourself star，or approach it with any kind of structure or enthusiasm．This can be part of a vicious cycle（惡性循環(huán)） that traps you into ineffective revision，your poor progress fuelling further annoyance．
Just being around other people really helps fight against feelings of loneliness and，thankfully，it's perfectly possible to work in the company of other people．We just need to learn how to deal with distractions（使人分心的事物）．
It's not necessary to avoid all company，just idle（懶散的） company．Studying in the same room as someone who is ironing or working out is perfectly possible．People who are bored and looking to be distracted，however，are terrible to work around．They constantly try to keep others in conversation．
It's also a good idea to avoid the company of people involved in activities that you would rather be doing than studying．Working while sitting next to someone playing video games is much more likely to end with a new high score than a productive few hours of revision．
If being around others means working in a noisy environment，a pair of headphones and some background music can block out even noisy children．They also act as a psychological barrier，so that people think twice before interrupting you．
When you're studying for a big exam，it seems like your whole life is taken up with study．Friends and family can lessen feelings of isolation（孤立）．And connecting with other people makes us happy，so it's important not to give that up and to make sure that we take the time to socialize．
51．The author might believe that the phrase"no pains，no gains"D．
A．best describes how to study well        
B．makes people treat study as a habit
C．encourages people to learn step by step     
D．is not a good inspirational phrase for study
52．Which saying about study might the author prefer？C
A．There is no royal road to learning．
B．It's better to work behind closed door．
C．A positive motivation leads to good study results．
D．He who is ashamed of asking is ashamed of learning．
53．Which might lead to an effective study based on this text？C
A．A correct goal．B．A good teacher．
C．A favorable interest．D．A hard task．
54．The underlined sentence in Paragraph 7 implies thatB．
A．playing video games is helpful for an effective study
B．one shouldn't let a video player to be his/her company
C．one should study from certain activities that he/she is interested in
D．the more time one spends in playing games，the higher marks he/she will get
55．If you are studying in a noisy environment，you'd betterA．
A．give indication of not wanting to be interrupted
B．give up others'company at one
C．think twice before taking any action
D．force yourself to be accustomed to the environment．

15．On the high-speed train Avignon to Paris，my husband and I landed in the only remaining seats on the train in the middle of a car，directly opposite a Frenchwoman of middle years．It was an extremely uncomfortable arrangement to be looking straight into the eyes of a stranger．My husband and I pulled out books．The woman produced a large makeup case and made up her face．Except for a lunch break，she continued this activity for the entire three-hour trip．Every once in a while she surveyed the car with a bright-eyed glance，but never once did she catch my eye．My husband and I could have been a blanket wall．
     I was amused，but some people would have felt uncomfortable，even repulsed（厭惡的）．there is something about making up in public that calls up strong emotional reactions．Partly it's a question of hygiene．And it's a matter of degree．Making up----a private act----has a way of neglecting the presence of others．I was once seated at a party with a model-actress who immediately waved a silly brush and began dusting her face at the table，demonstrating that while she was next to me，she was not with me．
     In fact，I am generally prohibited from making up in public，except when I am in the company of cosmetics moment．In a gathering more professional than social，I would do so．
     Kathy Peiss，a history professor at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst says that nose-powdering in the office was an occasion for outrage in 1920's and 30's．Deploring（強烈反對） the practice as a waste of company time，trade journals advises managers to discourage it among workers．Peiss theorizes that it was female's making up in what has been an all-male field that disturb some gentlemen．
      Peiss tells me that after the 30's，pulling out a make-up case was no longer an issue．It became an accepted practice．I asked if she feels free to apply lipstick at a professional lunch herself．Sounding mildly shocked，she says she would save that for the privacy of her car afterward．Why？Because it would be"a gesture of inappropriate feminity（女性化）．"One guess is that most professional women feel this way．There is evidence of the popularity of the new lipsticks that remain in place all day without retouching．

61．According to the author，"My husband and I could have been a blanket wall．"（Line 6，Para.1）most probably means"A"．
A．We were of no existence in the French woman's eyes．
B．We looked at the French woman expressionlessly．
C．We were treated with an expressionless face．
D．We used books as a wall to avoid the woman's eyes．
62．In the author's opinion，sheD．
A．feels comfortable when making up in public．
B．makes up before any professional gatherings．
C．only makes up on social occasions．
D．a(chǎn)llows public making up on certain occasions．
63．According to Peiss，nose powdering in an office was criticized mainly for the reason thatB．
A．normal office work was disturbed．
B．make dominance was emphasized there．
C．it discouraged women's interest in career．
D．it distracted make workers'focus on work．
64．Why do most professional women give up using lipsticks in public？D
A．Because they are worried about being looked down upon．
B．Because it implies women's disadvantages in academic fields．
C．Because they are ashamed to be seen making up in front of males．
D．Because it emphasizes their female features in wrong situations．
65．It can be inferred that in a highly open society，the differences between men and womenC．
A．have attracted little attention．
B．hinder the social development．
C．still call for great concern．
D．a(chǎn)re attractive topics in talk shows．

12．It was the beginning of the school year a few years ago and I had a little boy
in my class who came from a non-English speaking home．He was very quiet and shy．I wasn't sure how much he understoo    It was the beginning of the school year a few years ago and I had a little boy d during the school day and I was especially concerned that he just stood by himself at break time and did not play．If I tried to talk to him，he would turn away and tightly shut his eyes to hide from me．
    After a day or two of this，I decided to seek the help from one of my outgoing and friendly little girls．I called her over and she ran to me，ready to help．
    I immediately began a long speech about what I needed from her．I asked her if she would try to get him to play，and I started talking quickly about all these suggestions on how she could start communication with him．I explained she could do that，she could try this idea，she could try that idea．She touched my arm to stop my talking and looked up at me in that wise and special way that only a six-year-old can，and said，"Don't worry，I speak kid"．And she ran off．
    I stood there all alone，silently watching her．It took less than a minute for the two new friends to run off，hand in hand，happily joining a game of tag（捉人游戲） taking place all over the gym．
    I often think of that small moment，about what I learned and how important it is for all teachers to speak kid-big kid，little kid and middle kid．I know my focus must be on teaching students how to think，how to approach problems，and how to figure out solutions and teaching them never to let the opportunity away．We must be ready to learn from our students because those"teachable moments"during the school days are for us，the teachers，as well as our kids．
