Today

York, I started my adventure toChina. Next school year I will
study as an exchange student inChina.
My
flight toChinawas the longest journey that I have ever had. I went to theBostonairport really early to catch the 8:32
AM flight. When I got onto the plane, I found it was a very small plane. But
the flight was only one hour so it wasn’t too bad. I made the connecting
flight inNew York.
I had to hurry since there was only one hour for me to make the connection.
When I rushed to the boarding gate, I was told that our flight was delayed due
to poor weather conditions.
Fortunately,
I had told my host family in advance to check the latest information of my
flight. When I got on board the plane an hour later, everything turned out
smooth and pleasant. The flight attendants were very friendly, the food served
on the plane was tasty and my aisle seat was really comfortable.
After a 13-hour flight, I arrive inBeijingfinally. Suddenly
I saw so many Chinese people and heard so many people speaking Chinese. It was
so exciting! Unfortunately I left my passport on the airplane, so I had to go
back to find it. Finally I met my host family at the airport. Mr. Han Dongping,
the father, works as general manager of a company and his son, Xiaolin, is a
college sophomore majoring in Computer Science. They were both kind and
friendly. It was very nice of them to meet me at the airport.
As
my first day inChina,
today marks the first step that I have taken to realize my dream. I know there
would be hardships of living inChina,
but I am sure it is going to be a valuable experience of a lifetime.

Passage 2
Given the options
we have all around us these days, why would anyone ever read a book? We have
movies to entertain us, video games to attract us, cell phones to distract us,
and the latest reality TV to give us something to talk about. With so many
buttons to push and screens to stare at, who has the time or patience to read a
book?
Because
reading makes you smarter! The following reasons will convince you.
First
of all, reading can increase your vocabulary.Readinghelps you to learn new words! People
who can speak clearly and effectively make good first impressions, whether
meeting new friends or in a job interview.

the written word is one way the mind grows in its ability. Compared to watching
television where you simply sit and take everything in, reading forces you to
think.
Readingcan broaden your knowledge.Readingcan open you up to all kinds of new ideas. Your friends will be surprised when
you can explain the in-depth details of the latest scientific discovery.
Readingcan also help reduce stress. What’s more relaxing than sitting outside and
reading a novel on a lazy summer day? Our lives are packed with
responsibilities from morning to night. Taking a few minutes to slow down can
do a great deal for your mental health.Readingis an activity you can do at your own speed.
Last
but not least, reading can develop your imagination. A good writer will paint a
picture of characters, settings and scenes, but they can only do so much for
you. The rest is up to your imagination. In TV and movies, everything is given
to you, but with books you have to come up with the details on your own.Readingencourages an
active imagination, in adults as well as children.

3
In your first year of studying English, you
have been learning new words one at a time. But now, because of the nature of
the English language, you can actually make your vocabulary grow even faster.
Unlike
most of the languages widely studied in the world, English has a vocabulary
that is in several layers. The bottom layer is composed of the basic native
English words that have always been part of the language. Then there is a mixed
layer of words mostly from Greek and Latin. Some of these words came into
English through French or Italian or Spanish but their origin was Greek or
Latin. Then there is a more recent layer, mostly scientific or technical words intentionally
made up from Greek and Latin elements. And mixed in the second and third layers
are words from other languages spoken in countries throughout the world —
German, Chinese, Japanese, American Indian, Arabic, Persian, and many others.
In
all languages, words exist in set, in what can be thought of as word families.
Sometimes, if you know the root form common to the words in a family, you can
make a good guess about the general meaning of many words in that family. So
knowing just one root form of one word in a family may help you make your
vocabulary bigger by leading you to the other members of the family.
But
this process won’t work very well with most native English words, that is,
those that go back one thousand years or more in the language. Knowing the
origin of a word will not help you the figure out its meaning today, for it
says nothing of the meaning of the words that historically are in the same
family. The ancestor of “deer”, for example, is “deor” in Old English, but the
old meaning was any small animal, even a mouse or a rabbit. “Speed” once meant
success or power, and “uncouth” meant simply unknown. You need to learn such
words one by one.
11. According to
the passage, which of following is considered to be a good way to enlarge your
vocabulary?
A.
Remembering native English words.
B.
Studying words from Latin and Greek.
C.
Knowing the nature of English.
D.
Paying attention to Old English words.
12. How
many layers of English word are mentioned in the passage?
A.
Two
B.
Three
C.
Four
D.
None of the above
13.
Most native English words ____________.
A.
have a history of about one thousand years or more
B.
can be learnt according to the root form common to words in a family
C.
can be understood according to the origin of words
D.
have similar meaning as their ancestors
14.
Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A.
Some words in French have Greek or Latin origin.
B.
Knowing the origin of a word won’t always help to guess its real meaning.
C.
Most native English words need to be learnt one at a time.
D.
The word “deer” can be used refer to a mouse and rabbit.
15.
What is this passage mainly about?
A.
The origin of native English words.
B.
How to make a good guess about the meaning of words.
C.
On learning more English words.
D.
The layers of English words.
