   One Sunday morning we go fishing at a lake. We took ours fishing poles and headed for the lake. As soon as we arrived,so we dropped the lines into the water. Before waiting for about half an hour,I was beginning to get impatiently. I wanted to give up,and my grandfather told me to wait a little longer. Finally,there were a sudden pull at the pole and fish was caught. Within the next few minute,my grandfather also caught a fish.

Felt hungry,we built a fire by the lake and barbecued the fish. It was delicious.

     It can be difficult to stick with your exercise programme when winter hits. The shortage of daylight,cold weather and strong desire to stay in your nice warm room can all work against you as you try to stay focused on your exercises.

    When it's cold,your muscles can get extra tight (紧的) which makes exercise uncomfortable and leaves you easier to get injured. In the warmer months,you may be able to get away with shorter warm-ups but,when it's cold,you may find you need a little extra time to get the blood flowing. Here are some tips for you to warm up before you do winter exercise ：

    Try active warm-ups. Don’t waste time with inactive activities,instead,focus on doing activities that get your body ready. If you’re walking or running,start with an active walk and stay at that pace until you start to feel warmer. Gradually increase your pace and give your body extra time .

   Get warm before you head out. If you^e exercising outside,try warming up inside before heading out of the door. It's much easier to face cold temperatures when your body is already warm. Try walking around the house,going up and down the stairs. Just don't get too sweaty (出汗的) before you go outside or you’ll get a cold.

    Take a hot shower. If ifs really cold outside,you might even try a quick shower to wake you up and get you warm before you exercise.

Start easy. If you’re really unwilling to get moving,start with something easy like the morning or evening yoga (瑜伽) exercise. Giving yourself a transition (过渡) from bed to exercise can make exercise much more attractive.

51. List three factors that prevent you from doing winter

exercise based on the passage, (within 9 words)

(1) (2)

(3)

52. What*s the main idea of the passage? (within 9 words)

53. Fill in the blank in Paragraph 3 with proper words to complete the sentence, (within 6 words)

54. Which sentence in the passage is the closest in meaning to the following one?

If you sweat too much in warming up,you will catch a cold after you go outdoors for winter exercise.

55. Translate the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 into Chinese.

     Holidays are really important. Many of us will have childhood memories of summer holidays where we were taken away from home to experience new environments and learn in different ways.

    But holidays are expensive and,for those on low wages or living on benefits,they are often unobtainable. Even the cheapest holidays require travel and other additional costs that are difficult for many families to meet.

     For working parents,the long summer break can be a very difficult problem for childcare. When an annual leave allowance amounts to only five weeks,there is a need to spread this across the year. Couples can find themselves taking leave in turn in order to care for children who are on holiday. For some,this makes even an affordable family holiday difficult.

    The schools that I visit in Nottingham are full of experienced staff committed to giving our children a caring and inspiring learning environment. The number of children receiving free school meals is quite large in Nottingham and many schools have breakfast clubs to make sure that children get a healthy start to the day. Most schools undertake programmes of group or individual educational support. Schools also have an important role in safeguarding children's welfare through the ongoing touch and support with their pupils. During the long summer holidays,much of this is missed.

   While teachers are holidaying in the UK,many of their pupils spend the whole six weeks on the street where they live. The lack of free school meals for six weeks can result in pressure on a family budget and an inability to afford the inspiring experiences that help children to continue their learning.

In setting out its plans for a five-term year,Nottingham City Council ( seeking to reduce the sum- mer holiday down to four and a half weeks,with a more balanced five terms of roughly eight weeks,each followed by a two-week break. We believe this will give real down time” for school staff and pupils alike but will be short enough not to cause a real break in learning.

   We acknowledge that this change may be difficult for some school staff,particularly whose own children are educated in other authorities. However,this must be weighed against the benefits for city children for whom we all have the greatest duty of care.

46. The passage is probably written by .

   A. an experienced teacher

   B. a working parent

   C. an inspired student

   D. a city council member

47. The underlined word “they” in the second paragraph refers to “”

   A. environments   B. holidays

   C. wages   D. benefits

48. It is suggested in the passage that the summer break be reduced to.

   A. 2 weeks   B. 4. 5 weeks

   C. 5 weeks   D. 6 weeks 

49. The plans for a shorter summer holiday will help students .

   A. obtain the cheapest holidays without additional costs

   B. get a chance to spend six weeks a term with teachers in school

   C. benefit more from the caring and inspiring learning environment

   D. have more school days to receive free schcx>l meals

50. It can be inferred from the passage that .

   A. working parents can enjoy a five-week break to care for their children

   B. the suggested plans for a five-term school year can hardly be carried out

   C. the long summer holiday gives teachers and students real “down time”

   D. some school staff will say “No” to the plans for a shorter summer holiday

   Housing price in China has always aroused heated discussion among property developers and ordinary Chinese. To many property developers and local government officials,housing price in China is still low compared with many developed countries. However,the average housing price in the United States is only 8 ,000 yuan per square metre,while in China,it is even higher than that in the United States. This shows that there are some bubbles (泡沫) in Chinese real estate (房地产) market,” the International Finance News reported.

    Although the average price of residential houses in the United States,after changed to RM B. is about 8 ,000 yuan per square metre,the houses in the US are not sold in terms of building area,as most Chinese property developers do when they sell their houses. If the US property developers sell their houses according to the building area,the housing price will be even lower than 8 ,000 yuan per square metre. In most big Chinese cities,such as Beijing,Shanghai and Shenzhen,houses are sold at a price even higher than those in the US.

   The high housing price in large cities in China proves that Chinese real estate market does have some bubbles. Moreover,Chinese houses can not be compared with houses in the US in terms of building quality,environment and supporting facilities. Furthermore,it should be noted that American people's average income is several dozen times higher than that of Chinese people. How can the Chinese afford to buy a house which is even more expensive than that sold in the US?

   At the beginning of 2007,Chinese government issued a set of policies that aimed to benefit the public. Now in order to reduce the high housing prices,the government can regulate the real estate market by raising tax on property industry and controlling the release of loans and lands to property developers. Meanwhile,the government should allow people to build more houses through various fund-raising channels,such as funds collected from buyers or raised by working units. By applying these multiple means,it is expected that the high housing prices can be lowered and Chinese public can really benefit from the economic achievement.

41. When it comes to housing price in China,many think it reasonable.

   A. property developers and ordinary people

   B. property developers and local governments

   C. ordinary people and the Chinese government

   D. property developers and the Chinese government

42. In many big Chinese cities,the house price is yuan per square metre.

   A. about 6,000   B. about 7,000

   C. over 8,000   D. less than 8 ,000

43. How does the writer feel about the problem of high housing price in China?

   A. Encouraged and confident.

   B. Satisfied.

   C. Hopeless.

   D. Concerned but optimistic.

44. It can be learned from the passage that .

   A. housing price in China will drop considerably very soon

   B. a set of laws have been passed to improve Chinese real estate market

   C. regardless of housing price,Chinese houses have poorer building quality than those in the US

   D. the Chinese government has not realised the importance of the problem

45. What is the passage mainly about?

   A. The problem of high housing price in China and possible solutions to it.

   B. Different opinions on the problem of high housing price in China.

   C. A comparison in residential housing price between China and the US.

   D. The reaction of Chinese government to the bubbles in real estate market.
