The property (房产) remained in the ownership of Shakespeare’s family until 1806.The House has welcomed visitors traveling from all over the world for over 250 years.‎ ‎  ◆Enter through the Visitors’ Centre and see the highly-praised exhibition Shakespeare’s World, a lively and full introduction to the life and work of Shakespeare.‎ ADMISSION:‎ Adult: ￡4.90‎ Child: ￡2.20‎ Family: ￡12.00‎ ‎(2 adults+ up to 3 children)‎ ‎  ◆Stand in the rooms where Shakespeare grew up.‎ ‎  ◆Discover examples of furniture and needlework from Shakespeare’s period.‎ ‎  ◆Enjoy the traditional English garden, planted with trees and flowers mentioned in the poet’s works.‎ ‎   ◆The Birthplace is within easy walking distance of all the car parks shown on the map; nearest is Windsor Street(3 minutes’ Walk)‎ ‎ ◆The House may present difficulties but the Visitors’ Centre, its exhibition, and the garden are accessible to wheelchair users.‎ ‎ ◆The Shakespeare Coffee House(opposite the Birthplace) ‎ ‎21.

Near the Coffee House. ‎ ‎23. A wheelchair user may need help to enter       . ‎ A. the House      B. the garden     C. the Visitors’ Centre      D. the exhibition hall B Modern inventions have speeded up people’s lives amazingly. Motor-cars cover a hundred miles in little more than an hour. Aircraft cross the world a day, while computers operate at lightning speed. Indeed, this love of speed seems never-ending. ‎ ‎       All this saves time, but at a price. When we lose or gain half a day in speeding across the world in an airplane, our bodies tell us so. We get the uncomfortable feeling known as jet-lag. Again, spending too long at computers results in painful wrists and fingers. Mobile phones also have their dangers according to some scientists; too much use may transmit harmful radiation into our brains, a consequence we do not like to think about. ‎ ‎       However, what do we do with the time we have saved? Certainly not relax. We are so accustomed to constant activity that we find it difficult to sit and do nothing. Perhaps the days are long gone when we might listen quietly to a story on the radio, letting imagination take us into another world.‎ ‎       There was a time when some people’s lives were devoted simply to the cultivation of the land or the care of cattle. No multi-tasking there; their lives went on at a much gentler pace. There is much that we might envy about a way of life like this. Yet before we do so, we must think of the hard tasks our ancestors faced: they farmed with bare hands, often lived close to hunger, and had ‎ to fashion tools from wood and stone. Modern machinery has freed people from that primitive(原始的) existence. ‎ ‎24. The new products become more and more time-saving because          .‎ ‎   A. our love of speed seems never-ending      B. time is limited    ‎ ‎   C. the prices are increasingly high              D. the manufacturers boast a lot[]‎ ‎25. What does “the days” in Paragraph 3 refer to___?‎ ‎  A.Imaginary life   B. Simple life in the past                                  ‎ ‎   C. Times of inventions     D. Time for constant activity ‎26. What is the author’s attitude towards the modern technology?‎ ‎    A. Critical     B. Objective    C. Optimistic D. Negative ‎27. What does the passage mainly discuss____?[]‎ A. The present and past times            ‎ ‎ B.  Machinery and human beings C. Imaginations and inventions             ‎ ‎ D. Modern technology and its influence C Here is a true story about a famous man who worked in the White House and a criminal. They once faced the same thing their mother gave them apples when they were young.‎ The criminal said one day, my mother brought some apples and asked my brother and me “Which do you want?” “The reddest and biggest one,” my little brother said. My mother stared at him and said to him angrily “You should learn to give the good things to others; you shouldn’t always think of yourself.” Seeing this, I suddenly changed my idea and then said to my mother “Mum, please give me the smaller one and give the bigger one to my little brother.” Hearing my words, my mother was very happy. She kissed me on my face and gave the reddest and biggest apple to me as a prize. From then on, I learned to tell lies, fight, steal and rob. In order to get what I wanted, I played hard. As a result, I was sent into prison.‎ The famous man from the White House said One day, my mother brought some apples. She said to my brother and me “You all want the reddest and biggest one, right? Well, let’s have a competition. Now I divide the grassland in front of the gate into two and I will give one to each of ‎ you and you must shear(修剪) it well. And I will give the reddest and biggest apple to him who does it the most quickly and best.”‎ After the competition, I won and I got the biggest apple. In our family, as long as you want to get the best things, you must take part in competition. I think it is fair. No matter what you want, you must pay lots of efforts.‎ ‎28.The criminal got the reddest and biggest apple because___ .‎ A. he told the truth that he wanted a smaller one B. his mother loved him more than she loved the younger brother C. elder brother should of course have the bigger one D. he knew how to make his mother happy from her answer ‎29. We can conclude from the passage that___ .‎ A. it’s important to make children aware that no matter what they want, they must pay efforts ‎ B. it’s wrong to ask children to choose apples when they are not old enough C. it’s wrong to ask children not to always think of themselves D. it’s always necessary to have a competition when we give children apple ‎30.The writer tells the story by ____.‎ A. organizing it in the order of time ‎ B. making a comparison between two men C. providing some scientific information ‎ D. describing it in the order of space ‎31.It is implied in the passage that____ .‎ A. we should always try to win competitions which can bring us a lot B. in order to get what we want, we should play hard C. giving children apples will lead them to become criminals D. a mother’s educational method has a great influence on a child’s growing ‎ D You may be familiar with the following famous people, but have you heard of their graduation speeches, in which they either share their unforgotten experiences or give you some great inspiration(启示).‎ ‎●Michael Dell, University of Texas at Austin And now you've accomplished something great and important here, and it's time for you to move on to what's next.

Rowling, Harvard University Half my lifetime ago ,I was striking an uneasy balance between my ambition and the expectation from my parents who were not rich...But what I feared most for myself at your age was not poverty, but failure. The fact that you are graduating from Harvard suggests that you know little about failure, you might be driven by a fear of failure quite as much as a desire for success.‎ ‎●Steve Jobs, Stanford University Sometimes life's going to hit you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith...Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work, and the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking, and don't settle.‎ ‎●Bill Gates, Harvard University We need as many people as possible to have access to the advanced technology to lead to a revolution in what human beings can do for one another. They are making it possible not just for national governments, but for universities ,smaller organizations, and even individuals to see problems, see approaches and deal with the world's inequities（不公平）like hunger, poverty, and so on.‎ ‎32.

I’m writing to express my concern over the test anxiety（或pressure/stress） among high school students and give my suggestions.‎ With examinations coming , quite a few of my fellow high school students suffer much anxiety（或pressure/stress）.

It can destroy a student’s confidence ，even might make some students lose control of their emotions and behaviors. ‎ Therefore, I think high school students should learn how to reduce anxiety （或pressure/stress）. First, they should have a right attitude towards examinations. Second, they’d better find some time for fun, for example, listening to music. Sometimes even crying is a good way to release anxiety（或pressure/stress）. Finally, if they find anxiety（或pressure/stress） is nearly beyond their control, they’d better turn to experts for help.‎ ‎ I hope my suggestions are useful. ‎ ‎ Yours truly,‎ ‎ Li Hua
