I still cannot decide what to give her. She's a rare friend because she has been there for me all the time whenever I need a friend to talk to. I can always depend on her to be the first to arrive to give me advice when I have problems. I guess I am so lucky to have her as a friend.‎ It's more than seven years since I first met Susie in our school. I joined the theater group and she was a director then. At first I thought she was intimidating but in the end I realized that she needed to keep a strict image in order for her actors and actresses to take her seriously. And then during practice I got a chance to know her better. In fact, she was a friendly and warm-hearted person. Soon we become good friends.‎ I don't know exactly what to give my friend on her birthday as I believe she has everything. So it's really hard to buy her a gift she will like. This year I want something different and special but I ‎ don't know what to give. One day I searched the internet without any purpose and to my surprise there is a really lovely site where you can buy all kinds of gifts.‎ I scanned some of their items and I found cool and exciting gifts. I chose a special personalized bracelet. I'm sure that this will look perfect on her. I put our arms as part of the design of the bracelet so that it'll remind us that we'll forever be friends. I can't wait to give her my gift but I won't tell her yet. I don't want to destroy the surprise.‎ ‎21. Why does the author consider Susie as a rare friend?‎ A. Susie is good at solving problems. ‎ B. She and the author have lots of things to talk about.‎ C. Susie is a friendly and warm-hearted person. ‎ D. She can always offer help when the author is in need.‎ ‎22.

The author wanted to put her and her friend's names in the bracelet in order to _____.‎ A. give her friend a big surprise ‎ B. make the present more special C. remind her friend of their difference between them. ‎ D. make her friend remember their friendship forever.21‎ B If you want to become a fluent English speaker, you should take some advice: there are four skills in learning English. They are listening, speaking, reading and writing. The most important thing you must remember is that if you want to improve your speaking and writing skills you should first master the skills of reading and listening. ‎ Read as much as you can. But your reading must be active. It means that you must think about the meaning of the sentences, the meaning of the unfamiliar words, etc.‎ There is no need for you to pay much attention to grammar---or try to understand all the unfamiliar words you come across, but the fact you see them for the first time and recognize them whenever you see them, for example in other passages or books, is enough. It would be better to prepare yourself a notebook so you can write down the important words or sentences in it.‎ As for listening, there are two choices: besides reading, you can listen every day for about 30 minutes. You can only pay attention to your reading and become skillful at your reading, then you ‎ can catch up on your listening. Since you have lots of inputs in your mind, you can easily guess what the speaker is going to say. This never means that you should not practice listening. ‎ For listening you can listen to cartoons or some movies that are specially made for children. Their languages are easy. Or if you are good at listening, you can listen to VOA or BBC programs every day. Again the thing to remember is being active in listening and preferably taking some notes.‎ If you follow these pieces of advice,your speaking and writing will improve automatically, and you can be sure that with a little effort they will become perfect.‎ ‎24. According to the author, which should you improve first among the four skills? _______‎ A. Reading and listening B. Reading and writing C. Writing and speaking D. Speaking and listening ‎ ‎25. To improve your reading, when you read you should ____.‎ A. look up all the new words in the dictionary.‎ B. think about what you are reading actively C. spend more time studying grammar D. copy as many words and sentences as possible ‎26. The underlined words “come across” in paragraph3 probably be replaced by_____.‎ A. meet by accident B. discover C. find on purpose D. look for ‎27. The author seems to agree with the view that _____.‎ A. everyone should listen to VOA or BBC programs every day B. you needn’t practice listening if you keep in reading every day C. being good at reading is helpful in improving your listening ‎ D. you should take notes of whatever you are hearing ‎ C When you come to London for a trip, it's best to plan a day out so as to maximize the number of things you can see. Time permitting, we can offer advice by e-mail if there's anything you particularly want to see. ‎ If you are only in London for a day, a weekend or a week, use our SHORT STAY pages where we show you how to fill as much into your days as possible. ‎ The best season to come is late Summer or Autumn —— recently we have been having Indian Summers from mid-September to the end of October with clear blue skies and 20 degree temperatures. Finally the weather breaks as the storm fronts move in off the Atlantic, then clears up for Christmas. February to April can be terrible, and the weather is very unpredictable. Ask the Meteorological office here for facts and figures but they are so often wrong.‎ When it's raining there are plenty of museums and galleries to visit —— and the tube system is generally very good outside of rush hour.‎ It's best for you to be near a tube station when choosing a hotel, because buses can be slow and unreliable and taxis expensive. The yellow circle line on the tube map marks the division between central and not-so-central London. Outside of that area your transport bill will rise. The best restaurants are in Islington and the southwest of London which is where the life is. ‎ ‎28.

Archaeological (考古学上的) finds show that the tradition started in the 6th century; it is even supposed that the beginning of paper cutting is even a few centuries earlier.‎ Paper cuts have special importance at festivals and on holidays. To get rid of the old and bring good luck, people put up paper cuts on the windows on the Eve of the Spring Festival.‎ Paper cuts are not produced by machine, but by hand. They are done all over China, but are different in the method in different areas. There are two methods of making paper cuts—by using scissors or knives. As the name suggests, scissors cuttings are made with scissors. Several pieces of ‎ paper (up to eight pieces) are placed together. The patterns are then cut with pointed scissors. Knife cuttings are made by putting several pieces of paper on a table. Following a pattern, the artist cuts the patterns into the paper with a knife.21教育名师原创作品 In the past, paper cuts are usually made only by women and girls. They use scissors and paper to cut all kinds of pictures such as apple trees, peach blossoms, mice, fighting roosters and rabbits eating carrots.‎ ‎ This used to be one of the skills that every girl was to master. Professional paper cutting artists are, on the other hand, almost always men who can make a living by working together in workshops.‎ ‎32. How long has paper cutting lasted at least?‎ A. About 600 years. B. About 1,500 years.‎ C. About 2,000 years. D. About 2,700 years.‎ ‎33.
