After that, we went on down
the river. It was very dark that night and it
wasn
?
t easy to
see where we were going. Suddenly, a big steamboat
came at
us very fast, and the next
minute it was right over us. Jim and I jumped off
the raft (
木筏
)
into the water. The boat hit the raft and went on
up the river.
When I came
up out of the water, I
couldn
?
t see Jim anywhere. I
called
out
his
name
again
and
again,
but
there
was
no
answer.
“
He
?
s
dead!
”
I
thought. Slowly, I swam to
the side of the river and got out. I saw that I
was near a big old
wooden house.
Suddenly
a lot of very
angry
dogs
jumped
out
at
me.
They
made a terrible
noise and someone called from the
house,
“
Who
?
s
there?
”
“
George
Jackson,
”
I answered
quickly.
“I?
ve fallen off a
river boat.
”
Well, the people who lived in that
house were very kind, and they took me in and gave
me some new clothes and a good meal. I
told them that my family were all dead, so they
said
I could stay with them as long as
I wanted. It was a beautiful house and the food
was good
there, so I stayed.
A few days later one of the
slaves in the house came to me and said,
“
Come with
me!
”
Together, we
went down to some trees by the river.
“
In
there!
”
he said and went
away.
On the ground, I found a man,
asleep. It was Jim! I was really pleased to see
him. When
the steamboat hit the raft,
Jim told me, the raft didn
?
t
break up. Jim swam after it and caught it.
Then he began to look for me.
We decided to leave at once.
It
?
s all right living in a
house for a little while, but you feel
more free and easy and comfortable on a
raft.
28. What happened LAST in the
story?
A. George saw a big house.
B. George got some new
clothes.
C. George found
Jim on the ground.
D. George jumped off the
raft into the water.
29. Why did George
Jackson answer
“
quickly
”
when someone called from the
house?
4
A.
George felt afraid and nervous.
B. George felt happy and
lucky.
C. George really wanted to stay
there.
D. George
didn
?
t want to lie to him.
30. Which of these old sayings best
fits this story?
A. It
never rains but it pours.
B. Every dog
has its day.
C. Burn the candle at both
ends.
D. Many hands make light
work.

In today?s world we
are
always surrounded
(
包围
) by technology.
It?s
true
to
say
that
technology
makes
our
lives
easier.
However,
increasingly
scientists
are
saying
that
we
need
to
give
ourselves
a
break
—
otherwise
we put ourselves at risk of developing hundreds of
health problems.
Over the
summer the days are longer, sunnier and
free from school. With all this free
time, why not put it to good use and do something
that has
nothing to do with technology?
To start with, you could learn a new
skill. There are hundreds of possibilities:
cooking,
learning a musical
instrument or a new sport.
Maybe
you?ve
always
wanted to
try out
that
recipe
(
食谱
)
, but haven?t
had time? Perhaps you
like learning how
to knit, so you can have a
new
sweater
for
the
autumn.
You
could
use
your
free
time
to
learn
something
new
—
and
perhaps it?ll lead to an exciting
chance in the future.
If you
just
fancy
relaxing, why not
go to a beach? Take along your favourite book and
relax on the sand, or go for a stroll
along the coastline. If you don?t live near a
beach, you
could go to your local park.
Why not take along a picnic, or try and know about
some of the
local wildlife?
Little things, like challenging
yourself to complete a crossword or a Sudoku, are
a great
place
to
start.
You
could
even
get
involved
in
the
latest
craze:
adult
colouring
books!
Colouring is surprisingly therapeutic
(
治疗的
), and it can be a nice
way to get away from the
stress of
modern life!
You might surprise
yourself and find a hidden talent within you; you
might make new
friends along the way.
Next time you find yourself aimlessly channel-
changing, have a think
at what else you
could spend your time doing.
31. What might you write in your diary
if you do as the writer tells you?
A. I
read an e-book. It was exciting!
B. I
learnt to play the guitar. It was fun!
C. I had my website online. It was
amazing!
D. I watched a TV programme.
It was interesting!
32. Reading adult colouring
books is a good way to
.
A. learn a new skill
B.
make new friends
C. feel
less stressed
D. challenge ourselves

believe
D. to think that sb will win or
be successful at sth
34. You can put

with your summer
, try something
new!

A. Para 2
B. Para 3

D.
Para 5

?
s
probably the title of the passage?
A. Ways of trying something new
B. Finding a
hidden talent
C. Taking a break from
technology
D. A
better life with technology
D
Language changes all the time. New
words and phrases appear and
develop.
The words and pronunciations used by young people
in the UK
can be very different to
those used by adults. Living in a multicultural
(
多
元文化的
) society
has an effect on language, especially on young
people,
whose friends are often from a
mix of backgrounds. TV and music also
have big influence on the language of
the young. Often UK singers sing in American
accents
(
口音
)
without realizing.
Young British
peop
le use lots of language that you
usually can?t find in most dictionaries.
These
informal
words
and
expressions
are
known
as
?slang?.
It
is
not
possible
to
make
a
complete list of modern
British slang. By the time the list was finished,
it would be out of date!
New words come
and go like fashions. However, here are a few
examples:
?
Safe
,
sorted
,
sound
,
cool
or
wicked
all mean
“That?s good” or
“I
understand”.
?
Instead of using different tag
questions like …
isn?t it?,
can?t
you? or don?t they?,
people use
innit
.
?
Instead of
saying very, really or completely, people use
well
.
?
Whatever
means I
don?t care.
?
?He?s
fine
’
or
?He?s
fit
’
both mean
?He?s
good
-looking
?
.
Fine and fit can describe a
boy or a
girl.
Not everybody uses slang and not
everybody likes it. A school in Sheffield, in the
north
of England, recently stopped its
pupils using slang words such as
hiya
(hello),
cheers
and
ta
(both mean
thank you). The head teacher says that if young
people learn to speak ?correctly?
this
will help them get a place at university and a
good job.
When British people use
language like this, it?s no surprise that some
students say they
can?t
understand
native
(
本土的
)
speakers.
But
perhaps
learners
don?t
need
to
worry
about
communicating
with
native
speakers
so
much.
Research
shows
that
most
of
the
English
spoken
in
the
world
today
is
spoken
between
non-native
speakers
of
the
language.
In
fact,
when we
think about “International English”, there is no
such thing as a native or non
-native
