It has two bathrooms and a garden with many beautiful flowers. I have a bedroom of my own. There are some shopping centres and restaurants near the house, and the house is close to an underground station. It takes about 30 minutes to get to the centre of London. I think a homestay may be a good choice for you if it is your first time to visit abroad. The local people are friendly and willing to help. If you happen to celebrate the holidays with them, you will get to know more about western culture and customs (习俗). 42. The underlined word “homestay” in the passage means “______”.

A great team is not just a group of people, but a group of people who work together, support each other and share the same goal. I learned the importance of teamwork from a basketball match last term. At first, our team was not good. We all wanted to play well alone and didn’t pass the ball to each other. We lost the first two matches and everyone felt upset. Our teacher told us that teamwork was the key to winning. He asked us to communicate more and support each other. After that, we changed our way. We talked about our plans before the match. During the match, we passed the ball to each other and helped each other. When one of us was in trouble, the others would give a hand. Little by little, our team became stronger and stronger. Finally, we won the third match. We were all very happy and proud. This experience taught me a lot. I know that no one can succeed alone. Teamwork can make us achieve more. In the future, I will learn to be a better team payer and work with others together. 47.

Its earliest common use dates from the Han Dynasty. The term “pingfeng” means protection from wind showing its purpose at the very beginning. As time passes, it has been made into different sizes with colourful paintings. On screens usually appears a dragon. It’s a symbol of strength and wisdom good luck. It also stands for nobility and power (贵族和权力). The peacock, a beautiful bird, can be seen on screens, too. It’s a symbol of everlasting life. Beautiful flowers, which mean wealth and good luck, are also chosen as a popular design of the pingfeng. All the designs carry people’s beautiful wishes. Behind the pingfeng lies an interesting story. In the past, the unmarried daughter of a rich family was not supposed to see or be seen by men except her father, brothers or very close male cousins. When an admirer (仰慕者) paid a visit, however, she might take a secret look at him from a screen behind which she would be completely hidden. Her father would discuss poems with the young man and ask him to create one. If the daughter and her father were satisfied with the young man’s poem and his looks, she might agree to take him as a husband. Today the pingfeng is back in fashion for its beauty and its practical (实际的) use as furniture. Acting as a moving wall or divider, it can be the perfect match for modern sofas and walk, which adds style to them. 52. What was the pingfeng used for at the very beginning? A. Protecting people from wind. B. Dividing a room. C. Making a room beautiful. D. Hiding a person. 53. Which design is a symbol of nobility and power? A. The dragon. B. The peacock. C. The water. D. The flowers. 54. What does the word ‘wealth’ mean? A. program B. policy C. rich D. plan 55. How does the writer show more about Pingfeng in Paragraph 3? A. By giving examples. B. By telling a story. C. By explaining the result. D. By comparing differences. 56. What is the best title for the passage? A. The Use of the Pingfeng. B. A Story of the Pingfeng. C. The history of the Pingfeng. D. The Beauty of the Pingfeng. 五、补全对话（本大题共5小题，每小题1分，共5分） 根据对话的内容，从下面选择恰当的句子将对话补充完整（选项中有两项是多余的）。 A: Hi, Mike. Our class is talking about dream jobs.    57    B: Yes, I have. I want to be a doctor.
