Personally, I am not much of a collector. I collect photos of special times in my life, and I have a big collection

of soft toys-rabbits, bears, elephants, dogs and snakes. I love them!

Most people collect things at some time in their life.

Who hasn't got a collection of photos, or books?

Many

people collect the letters or emails from friends. And most children have a good toy collection. Most people don't

think of themselves as

people love collecting things as a hobby, and you can collect anything, from stamps to toys to football match

programmes to old photos. In fact, some people have unusual collections.

For example, Robert Opie collects things we usually throw away, things like old newspapers, sweet papers and

boxes. He has more than a quarter of a million things in his collection.

When Stuart Graham from Sydney, Australia died aged 87, he left behind some unusual collections. His son

Andy only discovered Stuart was a keen collector when he found a collection of over 5,000 old bus tickets, 3,000 old

matchboxes and 1,000 toy soldiers. Andy did not want to keep these collections and decided to look on the Internet to

see if anyone else would like the collections. He was surprised to find out that his father's collections were very

valuable. After he sold them, he bought a new car with the money.

Collectors collect things in different ways. You can go to specialist shops or markets to buy things for your

collection, or you can buy collectors' magazines. You can even look on the Internet at sites like Ebay. Or you can trade

things you have for something else that you would like. For example, if you have two stamps that are exactly the same,

you might be able to trade one of them for a different one that you prefer.

31. What does the writer mean by saying

Who hasn't got a collection of photos, or books

?

A. Nobody collects photos or books.

B. Most people collect things at some time.

The Beatles were one of the most successful and influential pop-music groups of the 1960s. The members

include rhythm guitarist Lennon, bass guitarist McCartney, lead guitarist Harrison, and drummer Starr.

Lennon formed a band in Liverpool, England, while in high school in the mid-1950s. McCartney and then

Harrison joined the group in the late 1950s. In its early years, the band also had several other members. In 1962, they

signed a recording contract

（合同）

with a large music company. At about this time, they chose Starr to replace

（替

代）

< br>drummer Pete Best.

At first

the Beatles' songs were lively and simple. The first song was

Love Me Do

in 1962. Their first

hit

came

the following year, when

Please Please Me

climbed to the top of the Britishmusic charts

（排行榜）

.

The Beatles became very famous in Britain. People started calling the excitement over the band Beatlemania.

The Beatles became very popular in the United States after appearing on Ed Sullivan's television program in February,

1964. Teenage girls across the country screamed and fainted over them, and boys copied the Beatles' look. By April,

the top five hits in the United States were all Beatles' songs.

In the late 1960s, the Beatles began creating more adventurous music with different musical styles. The band

recorded the albums

The Beatles

(1968),

Abbey Road

(1969), and

Let it Be

(1970).

The pressure of fame led the Beatles to break up in 1970. All four continued their musical careers-Lennon with

his wife, Yoko Ono; McCartney with band Wings and later as a solo performer; and Starr and Harrison mainly as solo

artists.

36. The underlined word “

hit

” probably means __________________.

A.

碰撞

袭击

成功

专辑

,

37. Which of the following does not have the adventurous style of the Beatles?

Imagine the situation. You are driving alone on a mountain. You have no, idea where you are. You passed the last

house two hours ago. Then your car breaks down. It is night and it is cold. You have no mobile phone. What do you do?

Well, next time take a GPS with you. This device

（装置）

may be able to help you. It uses satellites to find the users'

position. It can find your position within 20 metres. A GPS cannot start your car, but at least you will know where you

are.

The GPS (the Global Positioning System) is a small radio receiver. It looks like a mobile phone. You can hold it

in your hand, or put it in your pocket. It is sometimes put into a watch or a telephone. We also find GPS devices in cars,

planes or boats. Some of these devices have electronic maps, so you know where you are. For example, they can tell

you the name of the street in a city.

There are three parts of the Global Positioning System. The first part is the receiver. You can hold it in your hand

or fix it into your car, plane, etc. The second part is a group of satellites orbiting

（绕……轨道运行）

the Earth. The

third part of the system is a network of ground stations. They are all over the world.

They

control the satellites and

make sure they are working well.

Some people think that in the future the GPS will be as common as the mobile phone. They are becoming

cheaper and better. There are also new uses for the GPS. Perhaps they will become like watches. Everyone will have

one and you will never be lost again.

41. According to the passage, with the help of the GPS, __________.

A. your car will not break down

C. you can start your car faster

42. We can learn from the passage that __________.

A. the GPS is a new kind of mobile phone

B. the GPS can't be put in a boat or a plane

C. the GPS will be more and more expensive

D. the GPS includes a group of satellites

43. The underlined word

A. systems

B. ground stations

C. satellites

D. receivers

B. you can find out where you are

D. you can call for help

44. The passage is mainly about __________.

A. the history of the GPS

C

the introduction of the GPS

B. the shape of the GPS

D. the three parts of the GPS

45. How does the writer feel about the future of the GPS?

A. Confident.

B. Surprised.

C. Sorry.

D. Worried.

D

The best time to visit…

China

China is a huge country, so it depends on where you go. The best time to visit is autumn.

During that time, temperatures are pleasant wherever you are. If you don't like hot weather, don't

℃

.

The weather in Mexico is hot, wet and sticky for most of the year, except in Mexico City.

February to April is the best time to visit it. It can get very stormy

hours of sunshine.

Remember that it's winter in Australia in July and August. The hottest months are from

November to March. The best time to go is September or October. It's warm enough to go to the

beach. But this depends on which part of Australia you go to. It's cool enough to tour around, and it's

not too rainy. If you prefer cold weather, go in August.

单数形式

虽说构成出自一 家，但它们的用法是有区别的：

.

动词

finish

意 为“完成”，

前句是在问是否“已经完成了”，

用完成时更准确 ，

不使用一般过去时，

排除

AB

动词

finish

的过去分词是

finished

，后句的时间状语是

yesterd ay

“昨天”，陈述过去发生的事情，用一般过去时即可，

动词

finish

的过去式是

finish ed

，故选

D

.

【点睛】现在完成时与一般过去时的区别：

1.

一般过去时表示过去某个时间 发生的事、

存在的状态或经常发生的动作

.

说话的侧重点只在于陈述一件过

去的事情，不强调对“现在”产生的影响
