【題目】Have you ever heard of tandem? The word itself means a bicycle built with saddles for two riders sitting one behind the other. However, when we learn a foreign language, we can find a native speaker

who wishes to learn our languages. So we both get a chance to practice. This is the tandem exchange.

For example, I’m a native English speaker but I want to learn Spanish. So I go to a tandem meeting. There I can find a native Spanish speaker who wants to improve his or her English. Then we become “tandem” partners. I speak English with my Spanish tandem partner for about an hour and help him or her with some English problems. After that, we speak Spanish for an hour, too. The idea of this language exchange is great because we can learn something about a language that we may not learn in class. This is the main reason why we can choose the tandem exchange as a way to learn a new language.

In the tandem exchange, we can also read passages with our partner. This way we can not only practice our pronunciation but also understand the meaning of difficult words in other languages. We can then have conversations about the passages in order to practice our speaking and listening.

So I advise you to participate in the tandem exchange. If there’s no foreigner around you, online tandem exchange is also a good choice. Join in the tandem exchange and enjoy the opportunity of learning new languages and understanding the cultures of other countries!

【1】Which of the following is a tandem bicycle?

A. B. C. D.

【2】What is the main reason for choosing the tandem exchange?

A. We can make more friends.

B. We can learn something about a language that we may not learn in class.

C. We can improve our pronunciation.

D. We can learn Spanish in the tandem exchange.

【3】Which language skill is NOT practiced in the tandem exchange according to the passage?

A. Speaking. B. Writing. C. Reading. D. Listening.

【4】The underlined phrase “participate in” means “ ”.

A. take in B. make up C. take part in D. give up

【答案】

【1】A

【2】B

【3】B

【題目】Suspended (待用的) Coffee

This story will warm you better than a coffee on a cold winter day.

One day, my friend and I entered a little coffeehouse and ordered two cups of coffee. While we were waiting, two young men came in and began to order, “Five cups of coffee, please. Two of them for us and three suspended.” They paid for their order, took the two and left. I asked my friend:“What are those 'suspended' coffees?” Instead of giving me the answer, he told me to wait and see.

Some more people came. Two girls asked for one coffee each, paid and went away. Thencame three lawyers who paid for seven coffees—three for themselves and four suspended. While I still wonderedwhat the suspended coffees were, I enjoyed the sunny weather and the beautiful view in front of the coffeehouse. Suddenly a poor man like a beggar(乞丐) came into the coffeehouse. He kindly ordered a suspended coffee and sat there to drink it.

At that moment, I knew the meaning of the suspended coffees. It's simple — people pay the coffee in advance(預(yù)先) for someone who can't afford it. The tradition with the suspended coffees started inItaly, but it has spread all over the world. Meanwhile, I understood suspendedcoffee is not only a cup of coffee, but also the warmth and love to someone in need.

Bananas are good snacks. They are not only sweet and delicious, but also easy to carry around, so you can take them anywhere. Best of all, bananas have different things that the human body needs!

Bananas grow best in warm places with lots of rain. They grow on plants that look like trees. The plants can grow as high as 30 feet. When they reach their full height, flowers grow out．These flowers produce (生產(chǎn)) bananas.

Two or three times each year, the plants produce fruit. Then after about three months, farmers will pick the bananas. At this time, they still aren’t the sunny yellow color bananas. Then the green bananas are shipped to stores. They turn yellow along the way and are ready to be sold.

If you love bananas, you’ve got a lot of company (同伴). The first shipment of bananas arrived in the United States in 1876. After that, Americans showed great love for bananas. Until today, Americans still eat more bananas than any other fruit. We can see that clearly in the following chart.

【題目】

My stay in the rainforest

Last year, I left my job and went to Borneo to work without pay in the rainforest. So many people have said to me, " I would love to do something like that, " and I say, "If you want to, just do it. " They always reply, "I can't." But, if you really want to do it, there are ways to make it happen.

After three day's training, I started work on an environmental project with a group of young people. The accommodation (住宿) was very basic and we had to build our own 'bedroom' . It had a simple bed, a cloth roof and a net to keep insects out.

It was never dangerous there, but it was very challenging (挑戰(zhàn)的). There were things that we didn't think we would manage to do, but we did. I had some of my worst moments there, but also some of my best - it made me feel alive. I didn't miss my home comforts as much as I'd thought I might. We had food, water, somewhere to stay, about three sets of clothes and really good talk. We were in the most beautiful place and we had things to keep us busy. We didn't need any more.

Before we came here, it was really important to me what clothes I wore and who my friends were. I was always thinking about shoes, but really none of that matters. Here, people like me for who I am, what I believe and think, not for what kind of clothes I wear.

【1】Did Claire get any money from the work in Borneo?

____________________________________________________________________

【2】When did Claire start work on an environmental project?

______________________________________________________________________

【3】What did Claire's 'bedroom' have in the rainforest?

______________________________________________________________________

【4】Life was dangerous in the rainforest, wasn't it?

______________________________________________________________________

【5】What was important to Claire before she came to Borneo?

______________________________________________________________________

【6】Would you like to live in the rainforest like Claire? Why or why not?
