It can be really hard to learn a language well without living in a country full of native speakers!
You have to find something interesting! Here’s the solution: TV Series.
Game of Thrones
You should really start watching it. The language is beautiful and easy to understand. Drama,
love and good characters mark the show and there are actors from all around the world. You won’t
know what’s going to happen at the ending. This is a must-see!
Sherlock
A British masterpiece. Is there any language learner who has not heard of Sherlock Holmes
and his friend John Watson The writers placed the stories into London in the 21st century, so it’s
basically a modem version of the original stories. Here you have everything that an English
language learner could wish for: British accents, good acting, long and interesting conversations
with a lot of humour.
Friends
第 2页共 8页

life in Manhattan, New York. In parts of the show there are also British accents to listen to and
learn.
How I Met Your Mother
It is one of the most successful situation comedies in the United States, attracting the audience
all around the world. It’s about the life of five friends that live in New York, focusing on their work
and their favorite free time activity: sitting in their favorite bar. You get to know many modern
American expressions and can enjoy a lot of dialects that make the show even more interesting.

The job description of a postman doesn’t always include travelling through thick forests,
fast-flowing waters and occasionally being run after by wild animals, but for D. Sivan, that is
exactly what it is.
Every day for 30 years, this humble postman has been delivering post to some of the most
remote villages in Coonoor which are inaccessible by road. Carrying the mail, he walks along the
Nilgiri Mountain Railway track, walking through thick forests, crossing slippery streams and
walking on railway bridges. Having travelled through the difficult path for 30 years, Mr. Sivan has
grown fond of the wild animals he encounters on his daily walks, going so far as to say that
they’ve all become his friends. But even his friends have occasionally caused him some trouble,
with an elephant once having run after him. He was saved by a truck driver who spotted him and
honked at the elephant. The animals recognize him now, though.
As the years rolled by, emails started replacing letter writing. And as more and more people
moved from the Nilgiri hills to the plains-the towns of Mettupalayam and Coimbatore, Sivan’s bag
became lighter and lighter every day. Many weeks he ended up carrying just 3-4 letters to each
village.
One day Sivan noticed that a man to whom he was supposed to deliver his pension had moved
to Coimbatore. The man had fallen very sick and was hospitalized. Sivan tracked down the hospital,
travelled 80 km by bus and later car, and delivered the pension. The kind postman even paid for the
whole trip himself!
Not all heroes wear a cape(披风);some have white hair and carry a simple bag full of letters.
第 3页共 8页
Not all heroes write cool stories on Instagram; some just sit outside a door and read out a son’s
letter to his mother.
24. Which of the following best describes Sivan’s daily delivery journey

25. What do the underlined words “his friends” in paragraph 2 refer to
A. Postmen. B. Truck drivers. C. Wild animals. D. Villagers in Coonoor.

D. Uneventful.

B. To enjoy a trip to the plains.
D. To draw his pension.
C. To get hospital treatment.
27. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Letters or emails
B. The world’s busiest postman
D. Capeless hero with a bag
C. The postal service in Coonoor

Biologists in the United States are sounding an alarm about a deadly disease that has been
attacking a quiet, intelligent animal: the bat. The disease, called white-nose syndrome, is an
infection caused by a fungus (真菌) that attack the nose, wings, and other skin areas on the bodies
of bats while they are hibernating (冬眠) in large groups in their caves. The disease was first
discovered in a New York cave in the winter of 2006, and it is spreading quickly. Infected caves
have been discovered in 19 states and in Canada.
Scientists have discovered that the source is a strain(种) of a cold-loving fungus usually found
in polar regions. They are not sure how the fungus kills bats. One theory is that the fungus causes
discomfort. The bats began to become upset and partially wake up from hibernation. This activity
causes them to burn precious stored body fat and die of starvation. Experts estimate that over 5. 5
million bats across nine species have disappeared because of the disease. Wildlife experts fear that
if the infection spreads to more bat populations in the Southeast and Midwest, endangered bat
species, such as the Indiana bat and Virginia big-eared bat, may be in grave danger of extinction.
Why should Americans care about the loss of these creatures In warm months, bat fly at night,
eating up to their body weight in insects. They control the populations of insects that bite, eat crops,
destroy forests, and spread disease. Because of this, the United States government is getting
involved. It has heard announcements from bat experts and is taking seriously their pleas (请愿)
for funding to study the disease. The possibility of what one lawmaker called “an ecological and
economic disaster” is very real if the deadly disease spreads further.
28. What causes white-nose syndrome among the bats
A. Ecological pollution.
B. The lack of food.
C. The freezing climate.
D. A cold-loving fungus.
29. What is the main idea of paragraph 2
A. How the fungus possibly affects bats.
B. Why the bats’ hibernation is disturbed.
C. Where the experts discovered the disease. D. What contributed to the concern of the experts.
30. What is the main concern about the extinction of the bat in the US
A. The spread of the disease.
B. The destruction of the forests.
C. The imbalance of the ecosystem.
D. The decrease of the insect population.
31. What is the US government most likely to do in the future
第 4页共 8页
A. To introduce laws to protect bats.
B. To approve funding for bat disease research.
C. To declare the coming of an ecological disaster
D. To appeal to people to stay away from infected bats.
D
“I’ll be there in a few minutes. I’m playing a game with a friend, a guy named Scuzzball,” my
15-year-old son shouted from his room. “Oh, what is Scuzzball’s real name ” I asked. “I have no
idea.” He said. “Where is he from ” I continued. He responded, “I think somewhere in Canada. Oh,
wait, it doesn’t even matter because Scuzzball just left the game and he has been replaced with a
robot.”
“Your friend is replaced by artificial intelligence ” “It doesn’t matter, Dad. It happens all the
time! The game continues.” My son doesn’t mind playing with a person or a robot, which is typical
of gamers these days. I wonder whether the face-to-face experience of friendship that I grew up
with will be lost by our children.
Aristotle, a great thinker and educator, has pointed out that shallow friendship is easily formed
but also easily abandoned because such bonds are fragile(脆弱 ). Deep friendship, by contrast, is
when you care for your friend for his sake, not for any benefit you can get. This is selfless
friendship. You can have only a couple of these friends because they require lots of time and effort.
You must make sacrifices for each other.
Presence in friendship requires “being with” and “doing for”. Perhaps the most defining
feature of deep friendship is “doing for”, as my friend brings me soup when I’m sick. Only strong
bonds have the power to motivate real sacrifices. But it is unclear why online “friends” would
bother to do the hard work of friendship. When I asked my students whether they had people in
their lives who would bring them soup when they were sick, they laughed at my Stone Age
question and said they’d just order soup online themselves.
Digital life fills and absorbs waking life time so that people do not join in example case of
friendship, like sports, collective arts, free range childhoods, etc. In this way, digital life produces
false friendships.
32. How does the author lead in the topic of the text
A. By quoting famous mottoes.
B. By introducing an online game.
C. By showing robots’ irreplaceable role.
D. By presenting a parent-child conversation.
33. What does the author mainly explain in Paragraph 3
A. Impact of selfish friendship.
C. Selfless sacrifices in friendship.
34. What can we infer from Paragraph 4
B. The meaning of deep friendship.
D. The formation of shallow friendship.
A. Ordering food online for friends is an example of “being with”.
B. The students thought highly of the teacher’s question.
C. Virtual friends won’t make real sacrifices.
D. Robots will have our back in trouble.
35. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text
A. The Benefits of Digital Life
C. Face-to-face Communication
B. Digitalized Friendship
D. The Sacrifices of Online Friends

Erika and the Necklace
Erika and her little sister Beth sneaked into their mommy's room. "I'm just going to try on
some jewelry," said Erika. She took a necklace and tried to put it on her neck. "Oh, no,” said Beth,
"Mommy doesn't like us playing with her stuff." "Okay, you be the lookout," instructed Erika.
"Stand by the door and let me know if Mommy comes up the stairs."
Before Beth got to the door, Bouncer, the family's dog, bounded into the room and almost
knocked Erika down. The necklace went flying. It had barely hit the floor when Bouncer bit it and
raced off.
"Bouncer! Bouncer!” yelled Erika, "Beth, help me get the necklace back." The girls were hot
on Bouncer's tail(紧追不舍). "Stop!" they yelled. Bouncer dashed down the stairs and into the
living room. He stopped just long enough for the girls to get close to him. Then off he went.
"Stop!" yelled Erika. "Beth, you go the other way. We'll corner him in the dining room."
Erika met Beth in the dining room. Sure enough, Bouncer was there waiting for them. He was
down low on his front legs with his tail in the air, ready to play. "Grab him!" screamed Erika.
Just as Beth was about to grab him, Bouncer took off. He whizzed (嗖地移动 ) by Beth and
Erika. "Stop, you troublemaker!" yelled Erika as she raced after him. The girls were getting close
again, but Bouncer zoomed down the basement(地下室 ) stairs. The girls raced after him. "I don't
see him," said Beth. Erika scratched her head. "He's got to be down here. He's hiding."
Just then Mom called to the girls, "Erika, what's all the noise What's wrong I heard you
from the yard." "Uh,oh," whispered Erika. "Uh.. nothing's wrong," she shouted.
Beth dashed up the stairs. Erika heard her telling Mom everything. "That blabber mouth(多嘴
的人),” said Erika under her breath.

故事续写
One possible version:
“ERIKA!” said Mom, “Up here right now.” Hurrying upstairs, Erika could feel her blood rushing to her face. While she was trying hard to find an excuse, Mom's voice broke in. “Where is he now ” asked Mom, with arms crossed. Not daring to look into Mom's eyes, Erika just pointed to the basement as a reply. The three remained silent, wondering how to get the necklace back. Suddenly an idea popped into/flashed through Erika's mind. She went straight to the kitchen counter and took some snacks. “I know what to do. Just come with me!" she smiled.
Mom and Beth followed her into the basement, Erika carrying the snacks. “Bouncer,” called Erika, “I've got a treat for you." in a flash, Bouncer was at Erika's feet, pricking up his ears and wagging his tail. Just at that moment, Erika grabbed his collar and pulled the necklace from his mouth. Handing the necklace to Mom, Erika apologized, “Sorry, Mom. I shouldn't have touched your stuff. I'm the troublemaker.” Head drooping, Erika tried to overcome the immense guilt, while Bouncer was nudging her to pet him. “So long as you admit your fault," said Mom, gently patting her girls and the little “troublemaker”.

W: And now it’s time to find out what’s on at the Arts Center. This week’s entertainment starts on Monday with a play based on the novel Birds on the Wing by author Philip Cruise. Set on a Greek island in the last century, it tells a story of true love that succeeds in the face of great difficulties. Tuesday brings a dance workshop, led by Diana Fransen. This exciting new mix of exercise and dance is great fun. The two hours will be over before you realize it. There are only places for 20 people, so book now if you’re interested. The Matsuri drummers from Japan come to the Arts Center on Wednesday. If you think drumming is just a lot of loud noise, think again — their clothes and effects are amazing. On Thursday a famous band from England, directed by Leslie Ager, performs a concert of popular pieces. The jazz singer and guitarist, Maddie Felix, comes on Friday evening as part of her concert tour to celebrate her new CD. There are still a few tickets left, but hurry. They’re selling out fast. To book tickets for any of these events, phone the box office on 714170, or check out the webs.
