Dear Li Ming,

   With the final exam comes,you must be worrying for your English again. As we all know that,there are three stages in the study of subject — preview,studying in class and review,among which review is the most important thing. Firstly,make a review plan. Secondly,carry on the review plan regularly. Don’t give in. I follow my review plan strict and have made progress in my studies. Of course,there is more than one way to review. So long as you reviewed regularly,I'm sure you can find more ways to improve you English. If you have some question about English,you may ask me. I'11 be glad to helping you.

Best regards,

Li Hua

   At the moment,I'm working in London.It's my first experience of 61. (live) in the capital city of the UK.

   I take the tube to work; the London Underground is a great transport network and trains on the underground can get across London much 62. (quick) than buses. However,in the morning it's often very 63. (crowd) on the tube and there 64. (be) delays now and then. At £4 for a single ticket,the tube can be quite expensive. 65. (lucky) , if you have an Oyster card you pay almost half the priee!

   As a capital city,London has loads of great 66. (attract) . Some of them require an entrance fee,but lots of them don t. The Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace is a well-known event,67. takes place daily at 11:30 am between April and July. You can watch it 68. free,but you need to get there early if you want 69. good view!Most museums in London are free for everyone to enjoy,but donations are welcome. Last week,I 70. (visit) the British Museum. I particularly liked the room filled with old watches and clocks.

   If I had to explain my learning style,I would have to say that I'm a read and follow along kind of learner. When I read something that I really want to 41 ,I often have an audio recording play along with it. It can help my memory absorb what I'm 42 . It' s also helpful from an audial standpoint since my hearing has been less than acute 43 a childhood illness. I always find that my listening abilities improve 44 I have a visual reference at the beginning. When I'm 45 to take away one or the other after the initial go-through,I 46 that I can actually remember the learning materials better. So that mixing of the visual and the audial 47 me to memorize things right away.

   Another 48 I can mix this audial with the visual is by reading the material out 49 . I find my own 50 to be the perfect substitute for an audio recording if one is not 51 . As T ve said before,my hearing can often be 52 by、my /zYmzc少(读写能力) and vision.Reading to myself aloud helps me 53 because,like having an audio recording,it improves my reading and listening.

   While I'm 54 ,we have a lot of read-alongs,particularly in my English and literature classes. I always 55 these because my teacher and classmates all contribute to my 56 learning style of mixing listening with visual acuteness. Many teachers I've talked to agree that this form of study really 57 ,I’ve also seen many of my classmates following my 58 and asking for materials with audio recordings to assist in their reading and 59 . So I think people 60 that this is the best way to learn various types of materials.

   It turns out,talking to strangers is not so bad after all.

   At least for a North Carolina teen,who went to Target,the second-largest discount retailer(零售商) in the United States,to look for a clip-on tie(卡夹式 领带) for a job interview. 36 .

   Audrey Mark told CNN she was shopping at a store in Raleigh on Wednesday when she noticed something unusual.

   “I see this young teen being serviced by this Target employee,” Mark said.

   37 . The employee was not just tying the teen's tie,he was sharing some wisdom as well.

   “I hear him preparing him with all this advice on interview skills and handshakes,” she told CNN.

   38 .

   “I asked him if he needed help,and he told me he needed clip-on ties,” Scott told CNN. “We didn’ t have any."

   She turned to her co-worker,Dennis Roberts,and asked him if he knew how to tie a regular tie. 39 .

   But Scott and Roberts went a step further and prepared the teen for his interview.

   “We said ,‘Make sure you look him in the eye.’ I'm saying,‘Make sure you give him a firm handshake” ” Roberts said. 

   Mark took a picture.

   “ 40 she told CNN. “He leaves and all these Target employees are screaming ‘Bye!Good luck!Tell us how it went/ I got so emotional. I even got teary."

   A group of police blocks off narrow streets with their cars. They move quietly,spot the target,and close in,taking a group of smugglers(走私贩) by surprise. A few seconds later,the victims are discovered.

   The location: a street market in the city of Sao Paulo,Brazil. The victims: birds,American lizards,and tortoises snatched(抢走） from the wild. The smugglers planned to sell them at the market.

   “People who want to own a wild animal fbel the illegal wild animal trade,” says Juliana Machado Ferreira,a National Geographic explorer who works to fight the illegal wildlife trade. Removing too many animals from the wild upsets the balance of nature. aIf people truly love wildlife,they will want them to be free,” she says.

   Each day illegally caught wild animals are carried thousands of miles to be sold as pets,food,or ingredients for traditional medicines. “Wildlife illegal trade is one of the largest illegal trades in the world,worth about 20 billion dollars a year,” says Matthew Pritchett of Freeland,an organization that fights the illegal wildlife trade. “The United States is one of the top three markets in the world for illegal wildlife products."

   Smugglers use special ways to take the animals through airport security checks. But smart police use their own tricks to catch them. Read the following story.

   How many finches — small singing birds — can you fit inside a purse? At least 25 ,as it turns out. When a woman from Guyana,a country in northeast South America,started acting nervously at JFK airport,U.S., customers and border protection agents x-rayed her bags. They found birds called seed finches stuffed inside hair curlers!The agent called FWS (Fish & Wildlife Service) officers to take the birds,which will live at a zoo. The woman,however,was singing a different song.

   Visualization is closely related to positive thinking. It is used by athletes,musicians,actors,speakers,and others to improve their performance in stressful situations. How does it work? Listen to long-distance runner Vicki Huber:

   Right before a big race,I'11 picture myself running,and I will try and put all of the other competitors in the race into my mind. Then I will try and imagine every possible situation I might find myself in ... behind someone,being pushed,different positions on the track,laps to go,and,of course,the final part. And I always picture myself winning the race,no matter what happens during the event.

   Of course,Huber doesn't win every race she runs,but research has shown that the kind of mental imaging she describes can significantly increase athletic performance. It has also shown that visualization can help speakers control their stage fright.

   The key to visualization is creating a vivid mental blueprint in which you see yourself succeeding in your speech. Picture yourself in your classroom rising to speak. See yourself at the lectern (放演讲稿的讲桌) ，self-assured,making eye contact(接触) with your audience and delivering your introduction in a firm,clear voice. Feel your confidence growing as your listeners get more and more caught up in what you are saying. Imagine your sense of achievement as you conclude the speech knowing you have done your very best.

   As you create these images in your mind's eye,be realistic but stay focused on the positive aspects of your speech. Don't allow negative images to affect the positive ones. Acknowledge your nervousness,but picture yourself overcoming it to give an effective presentation. If one part of the speech always seems to give you trouble,visualize yourself getting through it without any problems. And be specific. The clearer your mental pictures,the more successful you are likely to be.

   As with your physical rehearsal(排练) of the speech,this kind of mental rehearsal should be repeated several times in the days before you speak. It doesn't guarantee that every speech will turn out exactly the way you imagine it — and it certainly is no replacement for thorough preparation. But it is a proven way to help control your nerves and to make a successful presentation.

28. Huber's visualization of her races.

   A. is detailed and thorough

   B. is used during the event

   C. is based on real pictures

   D. is created with other runners

   A. ignore the negative aspects

   B. do the mental imaging later

   C. imagine finishing it smoothly

   D. create clearer mental pictures

31. What do we learn about mental rehearsal?

   C. It is more important than physical rehearsal.

   D. It is a good chance to show your imagination.

   I've started to learn ancient Greek. It doesn't urge you to communicate,only to learn,and I find the early hours of the morning the perfect time for that. I love routine. I wait until 7 am to have tea. At 7:30 I make breakfast. After that,I read the Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius. 

   I read Marcia every day; it was his philosophy that got me through my son Matthew's 滅 death,four years ago in a motorcycle accident. Aurelius said: ‘What we jESHBlBl cannot bear removes us from life.’

Matthew's death was such a waste. At first I would rather have been dead too,but then I thought: ‘No. I mustn't do less. I must do more!'

   I am what you might call a late developer. I was 40 before I wrote my first novel,62 when I went to university. My husband,Neil,was a talented jazz musician,but at 25 he developed a serious illness,losing his speech and the use of the right side of his body. It was hell for all of us. We were so broke,and we lived on national assistance for ages.

   I wrote my first novel while Neil had his weekly music therapy(疗法) . That 50-minute therapy was all I had. I used to sit in a cafe and write and write while couples had life-and-death quarrels around me. Gratefully,my family supported me in my writing career.

   My daughter Emma gave me War and I loved it so much. Then it hit me: I hadn't read it at all,I'd only read a translation,and I so longed to read the actual words. A kind elderly Russian lady taught me the basics and I joined the Russian language degree course at the University of London. I gained the degree in my sixties and a PhD at 74. People talk about ‘the time of their lives’. Well,that was mine. Don’t!et anyone tell you your memory goes with age. It's there if you want it enough. Gradually I forced it into action — it was such an exciting experience. Oh,the joy of learning.

24. What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 1 refer to?

   A. Learning. B. Communication.

   C. Having tea. D. Following routine.

25. Shortly after Neil fell ill,the author.

   B. went to university

   C. quarreled with him

   D. tried to write novels

   A. her daughter advised her to do so

   B. it was one of her favorite languages

   C. she wanted to read a novel in Russian

   D. she wanted to make a Russian friend

27. What can we learn from the text?

   In a new study from the University of Iowa,

! researchers found that pigeoiis can categorize and name both nattffal and human-made objects — and not just a few objects. These birds categorized 128 photographs into 16 categories,and they did so simultaneously(同时地) .

   Ed Wasserman,UI professor of psychology and I corresponding author of the study,says the finding I suggests a similarity between how pigeons learn :words and the way children do. “Our pigeons were trained on all 16 categories simultaneously,a much closer analog(类似物) of how children leam words I and categories,” Wasserman says of the study,published online in the journal Cognition.

   For researchers like Wasserman,who has been;studying animal intelligence for decades,this latest!experiment is further proof that animals — whether primates(灵长目动物) ，birds,or dogs — are smarter than once assumed and have more to teach scientists.

   “As our methods have improved,so too have!our understanding and appreciation of animal ：intelligence ,” Wasserman says. “Differences between :humans and animals must indeed exist: many are already known. But,they may be outnumbered by ;similarities. Our research on categorization in pigeons;suggests that those similarities may even extend to i how children learn words."

   This time,researchers used a computerized version of the “name game” in which three pigeons were shown 128 black-and-white photos of objects from 16 basic categories. They then had to peck (啄) on one of two different symbols: the correct one for that photo and an incorrect one that was randomly chosen from one of the remaining 15 categories. The pigeons succeeded in learning the task.

   Pigeons have long been known to be smarter than average birds. Among their many talents,pigeons have a “homing instinct(本能) ” that helps them find their way home from hundreds of miles away. They have better eyesight than humans and have been trained to spot orange life jackets of people lost at sea.

   Wasserman acknowledges the recent pigeon study is not a direct analog of word learning in children and more work needs to be done. However,the model used in the study could lead to a better understanding of the associative principles involved in children's word learning. “That's the similarity that we are pursuing,but a single project — however creative it may be — will not be enough to answer such a big question ,” Wasserman says.

6. What does the new study indicate?

   A. Aniinals are strange to scientists.

   B. Animals are smarter than humans.

   C. Animals are cleverer than we once thought.

   D. Animals are less similar to humans than expected.

7. What can be concluded from the experiment?

   A. Pigeons are good learners.

   B. It is a complicated process to learn.

   C. Humans do better in solving problems.

   D. Pigeons learn differently from children.

   A. How pigeons travel.

   B. Why pigeons are smart.

   A. How children learn words.

   B. How animals get motivated to learn.

   C. When children show eagerness to learn to speak.

   D. If pigeohs and children leam words in a similar way.
