Meals/Allergies(过敏)/Special Dietary Requirements
Students are provided with breakfast, dinner and either a cooked or packed lunch (which includes a sandwich, a drink and a dessert). We ask that you let us know of any allergies or dietary requirements as well as information about any medicines you take. Depending on the type of allergies and/or dietary requirements, extra money may be needed for providing special food.

When I was six, Dad brought home a dog one day, who was called “Brownie”. My brothers and I all loved Brownie and did different things with her. One of us would walk her, another would feed her, and then there were baths, playing catch and many other games. Brownie, in return, loved each and every one of us. One thing that most touched my heart was that she would go to whoever was sick and just be with them. We always felt better when she was around.
One day, as I was getting her food, she chewed up (咬破) one of Dad’s shoes, which had to be thrown away in the end. I knew Dad would be mad and I had to let her know what she did was wrong. When I looked at her and said, “Bad girl.”， she looked down at the ground and then went and hid. I saw tears in her eyes.
Brownie turned out to be more than just our family pet. She went everywhere with us. People would stop and ask if they could pet her. Of course she’d let anyone pet her. She was just the most lovable dog. There were many times when we’d be out walking and a small child would come over and pull on her hair. She never barked (吠) or tried to get away. Funny thing is she would smile. This frightened people because they thought she was showing her teeth. Far from the truth, she loved everyone.
Now many years have passed since Brownie died of old age. I still miss the days when she was with us.
40. What would Brownie do when someone was ill in the family
A. Keep them company. B. Look at them sadly.
C. Play games with them. D. Touch them gently.
41. We can infer from Paragraph 2 that Brownie ______.
A. would eat anything when hungry B. loved playing hide-and-seek
C. felt sorry for herself D. disliked the author’s dad
42. Why does the author say that Brownie was more than just a family pet
A. She was treated as a member of the family.
B. She played games with anyone she liked.
C. She was loved by everybody she met.
D. She went everywhere with the family.
43. Which of the following best describes Brownie
A. Caring. B. Annoying. C. Brave. D. Curious.

Last week I was riding my special motorbike and then stopped at a convenience store. As I was getting my wheelchair off the back, a man watched me from his car and I noticed a wheelchair in his back seat. We spoke for a moment and I asked him about the wheelchair. He answered that it was for his daughter. “Well, do you think she would like to go for a ride on my motorbike with me ” I asked. He seemed shocked that a total stranger would ask him this. He thought about it for a second and said, “OK, as long as I can follow you.”
He introduced me to Amy and he sat her on my back seat. Her father followed me for a few miles and she talked non-stop about what she wanted for Christmas.
As we came back to the convenience store, she said, “This ride is the best Christmas present I could ever receive. I have been in a wheelchair my whole life and didn’t know I could do this.” I told her about some of the other things I do (ski, travel the world by myself, etc.). As her father was taking her off my bike, she turned to him and said, “Oh Daddy, I’m going to be OK. Mr. Bryant does all kinds of things, and I will too.” Her father turned away as a tear of joy rolled down his cheek. He hugged me and said, “I was sitting here praying(祈祷) for a gift for Amy that would encourage her. She often felt that her life was dull compared to other children. God answered my prayer just now. Now I pray that God will bless you for your gift to Amy today.” I believed what he said. Being kind and thoughtful to others, we can be an answer to prayer.

A. he didn’t know the author.
B his daughter could gain excitement.

Some people like modern art, while others say that it is rubbish. But a cleaner who works in the Tate Britain Gallery in London isn’t able to tell the difference. The woman, whose name isn’t known, mistook a work of art by the German painter Gustav Metzger for a bag of rubbish, and threw it out with other bags. The plastic bag, which contained pieces of paper and cardboard, was later recovered outside the gallery, but the artist thought that it was too badly damaged to be put on show again, and so he found another bag. 78-year-old Mr. Metzger explained that the exhibit, which he said was a copy of a similar work he had created in 1960, was meant to show that all art is temporary (暂时的).
Embarrassed officials at the museum said that they had had to call a meeting with cleaners to explain which things should not be touched. They would not say whether Mr. Metzger would be paid for the incident. However, to make absolutely sure the same thing would not happen again, they decided to cover Mr. Metzger’s work every evening with a coloured cloth. In this way cleaners arriving after the gallery had closed to the general public would realize that they should not touch it.
This is not the first time that museum cleaners have had trouble distinguishing exhibits from rubbish. In 2001, in another London gallery, a cleaner threw away a work by the well-known British artist Damien Hirst. It was an arrangement of empty beer bottles, coffee cups, and ashtrays (烟灰缸), which were meant to show the disorder in the life of an artist.
However, cleaners don’t always throw things away—sometimes they clean them! This was the case with a dirty bath, which was on show in a gallery in Germany. Without asking what the bath was doing in the gallery, the cleaner simply cleaned it.
48. The woman cleaner threw away the plastic bag because__________.
A. the plastic bag was badly damaged
B. she didn’t recognize it was a work of art
C. she hated modern art and considered it rubbish
D. The exhibit on show was taken the place of by another bag
49. The underlined word “distinguishing” in Paragraph 3 probably means “_______”.
A. collecting B. replacing C. telling D. exchanging
50. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage
A. Mr Metzger would be paid some money for the incident.
B. Tate British Gallery will be closed to avoid the same mistake.
C. Artists often use rubbish to show how content they feel with life.
D. More than one cleaner threw away works of art in galleries.
51. What might be the best title for the passage
A. Cleaner Mistakes Modern Art for Rubbish B. Good Cleaners Make Mistakes
C. Damaged Modern Art Works D. Dangerous Galleries and Cleaners
E
According to new research from the University of Cambridge in England, sheep are able to recognize human faces from photographs.
The farm animals, which are social and have large brains, were previously known to be able to recognize one another, as well as familiar humans. However, their ability to recognize human faces from photos alone is novel (新奇的).
The recent study, the results of which were published in the journal Royal Society: Open Science, shows the woolly creatures could be trained to recognize still images of human faces, including those of former President Barack Obama and actress Emma Watson.
First, the sheep were trained to get close to certain images by being given food rewards. Later, they were able to recognize the images for which they had been rewarded. The sheep could even recognize images of faces shown at an angle.
“Anyone who has spent time working with sheep will know that they are smart, individual animals who are able to recognize their handlers,” said Professor Jenny Morton, who led the Cambridge study. “We’ve shown with our study that sheep have advanced face-recognition abilities, comparable with those of humans and monkeys.”
Recognizing faces is one of the most important social skills for human beings, and some disorders of the brain, including Huntington’s disease, have a bad effect on this ability.
“Sheep are long-lived and have brains that are similar in size and complexity to those of some monkeys. That means they can be useful models to help us understand disorders of the brain, such as Huntington's disease, which develop over a long time and influence cognitive (认知的) abilities. Our study gives us another way to study how these abilities change.” Morton said.
52. According to the new research, what’s unusual about sheep
A. They have large brains.
B. They can recognize their owners.
C. They can recognize human faces from photographs.
D. They know the differences between animals and humans.
53. How did the researchers train the sheep
A. By giving food rewards.
B. By showing photos of famous people.
C. By guiding them to follow their handlers.
D. By showing photos of humans and monkeys by turns.
54. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs
A. Sheep are more clever than monkeys.
B. The new discovery is helpful to study cognitive ability changes.
C. The sheep’s face-recognition ability may prevent brain disorders.
D. The face-recognition ability is the most important skill for sheep.
55. What’s the main idea of the passage
A. It discusses the life of sheep.
B. It’s about a wonderful scientist.
C. It tells us a new discovery about sheep.
D. It shows how sheep recognize human faces.

When I was six, Dad brought home a dog one day, who was called “Brownie”. My brothers and I all loved Brownie and did different things with her. One of us would walk her, another would feed her, and then there were baths, playing catch and many other games. Brownie, in return, loved each and every one of us. One thing that most touched my heart was that she would go to whoever was sick and just be with them. We always felt better when she was around.
One day, as I was getting her food, she chewed up (咬破) one of Dad’s shoes, which had to be thrown away in the end. I knew Dad would be mad and I had to let her know what she did was wrong. When I looked at her and said, “Bad girl.”， she looked down at the ground and then went and hid. I saw tears in her eyes.
Brownie turned out to be more than just our family pet. She went everywhere with us. People would stop and ask if they could pet her. Of course she’d let anyone pet her. She was just the most lovable dog. There were many times when we’d be out walking and a small child would come over and pull on her hair. She never barked (吠) or tried to get away. Funny thing is she would smile. This frightened people because they thought she was showing her teeth. Far from the truth, she loved everyone.
Now many years have passed since Brownie died of old age. I still miss the days when she was with us.
40. What would Brownie do when someone was ill in the family
A. Keep them company. B. Look at them sadly.
C. Play games with them. D. Touch them gently.
41. We can infer from Paragraph 2 that Brownie ______.
A. would eat anything when hungry B. loved playing hide-and-seek
C. felt sorry for herself D. disliked the author’s dad
42. Why does the author say that Brownie was more than just a family pet
A. She was treated as a member of the family.
B. She played games with anyone she liked.
C. She was loved by everybody she met.
D. She went everywhere with the family.
43. Which of the following best describes Brownie
A. Caring. B. Annoying. C. Brave. D. Curious.

Last week I was riding my special motorbike and then stopped at a convenience store. As I was getting my wheelchair off the back, a man watched me from his car and I noticed a wheelchair in his back seat. We spoke for a moment and I asked him about the wheelchair. He answered that it was for his daughter. “Well, do you think she would like to go for a ride on my motorbike with me ” I asked. He seemed shocked that a total stranger would ask him this. He thought about it for a second and said, “OK, as long as I can follow you.”
He introduced me to Amy and he sat her on my back seat. Her father followed me for a few miles and she talked non-stop about what she wanted for Christmas.
As we came back to the convenience store, she said, “This ride is the best Christmas present I could ever receive. I have been in a wheelchair my whole life and didn’t know I could do this.” I told her about some of the other things I do (ski, travel the world by myself, etc.). As her father was taking her off my bike, she turned to him and said, “Oh Daddy, I’m going to be OK. Mr. Bryant does all kinds of things, and I will too.” Her father turned away as a tear of joy rolled down his cheek. He hugged me and said, “I was sitting here praying(祈祷) for a gift for Amy that would encourage her. She often felt that her life was dull compared to other children. God answered my prayer just now. Now I pray that God will bless you for your gift to Amy today.” I believed what he said. Being kind and thoughtful to others, we can be an answer to prayer.
44. The father felt surprised at first because ________.
A. he didn’t know the author.
B. his daughter could gain excitement.

Some people like modern art, while others say that it is rubbish. But a cleaner who works in the Tate Britain Gallery in London isn’t able to tell the difference. The woman, whose name isn’t known, mistook a work of art by the German painter Gustav Metzger for a bag of rubbish, and threw it out with other bags. The plastic bag, which contained pieces of paper and cardboard, was later recovered outside the gallery, but the artist thought that it was too badly damaged to be put on show again, and so he found another bag. 78-year-old Mr. Metzger explained that the exhibit, which he said was a copy of a similar work he had created in 1960, was meant to show that all art is temporary (暂时的).
Embarrassed officials at the museum said that they had had to call a meeting with cleaners to explain which things should not be touched. They would not say whether Mr. Metzger would be paid for the incident. However, to make absolutely sure the same thing would not happen again, they decided to cover Mr. Metzger’s work every evening with a coloured cloth. In this way cleaners arriving after the gallery had closed to the general public would realize that they should not touch it.
This is not the first time that museum cleaners have had trouble distinguishing exhibits from rubbish. In 2001, in another London gallery, a cleaner threw away a work by the well-known British artist Damien Hirst. It was an arrangement of empty beer bottles, coffee cups, and ashtrays (烟灰缸), which were meant to show the disorder in the life of an artist.
However, cleaners don’t always throw things away—sometimes they clean them! This was the case with a dirty bath, which was on show in a gallery in Germany. Without asking what the bath was doing in the gallery, the cleaner simply cleaned it.
48. The woman cleaner threw away the plastic bag because__________.
A. the plastic bag was badly damaged
B. she didn’t recognize it was a work of art
C. she hated modern art and considered it rubbish
D. The exhibit on show was taken the place of by another bag
49. The underlined word “distinguishing” in Paragraph 3 probably means “_______”.
A. collecting B. replacing C. telling D. exchanging
50. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage
A. Mr Metzger would be paid some money for the incident.
B. Tate British Gallery will be closed to avoid the same mistake.
C. Artists often use rubbish to show how content they feel with life.
D. More than one cleaner threw away works of art in galleries.
51. What might be the best title for the passage
A. Cleaner Mistakes Modern Art for Rubbish B. Good Cleaners Make Mistakes
C. Damaged Modern Art Works D. Dangerous Galleries and Cleaners
【答案】48. B 49. C 50. D 51. A

According to new research from the University of Cambridge in England, sheep are able to recognize human faces from photographs.
The farm animals, which are social and have large brains, were previously known to be able to recognize one another, as well as familiar humans. However, their ability to recognize human faces from photos alone is novel (新奇的).
The recent study, the results of which were published in the journal Royal Society: Open Science, shows the woolly creatures could be trained to recognize still images of human faces, including those of former President Barack Obama and actress Emma Watson.
First, the sheep were trained to get close to certain images by being given food rewards. Later, they were able to recognize the images for which they had been rewarded. The sheep could even recognize images of faces shown at an angle.
“Anyone who has spent time working with sheep will know that they are smart, individual animals who are able to recognize their handlers,” said Professor Jenny Morton, who led the Cambridge study. “We’ve shown with our study that sheep have advanced face-recognition abilities, comparable with those of humans and monkeys.”
Recognizing faces is one of the most important social skills for human beings, and some disorders of the brain, including Huntington’s disease, have a bad effect on this ability.
“Sheep are long-lived and have brains that are similar in size and complexity to those of some monkeys. That means they can be useful models to help us understand disorders of the brain, such as Huntington's disease, which develop over a long time and influence cognitive (认知的) abilities. Our study gives us another way to study how these abilities change.” Morton said.
52. According to the new research, what’s unusual about sheep
A. They have large brains.
B. They can recognize their owners.
C. They can recognize human faces from photographs.
D. They know the differences between animals and humans.
53 How did the researchers train the sheep
A. By giving food rewards.
B. By showing photos of famous people.
C. By guiding them to follow their handlers.
D. By showing photos of humans and monkeys by turns.
54. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs
A. Sheep are more clever than monkeys.
B. The new discovery is helpful to study cognitive ability changes.
C. The sheep’s face-recognition ability may prevent brain disorders.
D. The face-recognition ability is the most important skill for sheep.
55. What’s the main idea of the passage
A. It discusses the life of sheep.
B. It’s about a wonderful scientist.
C. It tells us a new discovery about sheep.
D. It shows how sheep recognize human faces.

【答案】Dear Sir or Madam,
It’s a great honor for me to be invited to the International Youth Camp. Please let me take this opportunity to get myself introduced to you.
As a 16-year-old boy, I am so outgoing and good at English that I can not only get along well with all guys coming to the activity but also communicate with anyone in fluent English. Classic English novels are my favorite, while drawing pictures fulfills my wildest imagination. Besides, as a crazy basketball fan, I enjoy the excitement of sweat running down my cheek. I believe my strength is my attitude, and I like to take up new challenges and embrace success and failure in a balanced way to move forward.
I can’t wait to engage in the activity, through which I will experience the joy of cooperation and make more friends.
Yours,
Li Hua
