24、A recent study shows that a third of UK students aged between 16 and 30 are interested in overseas study. Among them, half wish to study at the undergraduate level.

UK students have increasing interest in studying or working in a European country through the EU’s Erasmus Program, an EU student exchange program started in 1987. Recent Erasmus statistics(数据) show that nearly 15,600 UK students spent up to a year in another European country through the program during 2013-2014 school year, up 115 percent since 2007.

The figures reflect that more young people in the UK are realizing the value of receiving international experience. “The UK needs graduates who have the skills and confidence to compete worldwide, and can compete against foreign talent that may speak more languages and have wider international experience,” said Rebecca Hughes, director of education at the British Council.

Most UK students would like to go to the United States, followed by Australia, France, Canada and Germany, the findings show, but 42 percent of those who took the questionnaire were interested in traveling outside of the English-speaking world.

Why do UK students want to go abroad? Among those who are interested in overseas study, nearly 50 percent want to have fun traveling and exploring different cultures, while 30 percent want to work for an international company and live overseas. About 15 percent said they wanted to go to the best university and get the best education offered worldwide. What’s more, the high cost of UK university studies plays a role in over half of students’ interest in overseas study.

Also, the study found the biggest schooling check to studying abroad was a lack of foreign language skills—chosen by over half of those who were not interested or had not made a decision about studying overseas. But the top non-schooling check for students was the great cost.

【1】The writer presents UK students’ increasing interests in overseas study by ______.

A. giving examples B. making surveys

C. having interviews D. listing statistics

【2】It can be learned that ______ is probably the last choice for UK students to study abroad.

A. Australia  B. America C. Germany D. France

【3】Which is the greatest reason why UK students are interested in overseas study?

A. Working for an international company.

B. The high cost of UK university studies.

C. Receiving the best education worldwide.

D. Travelling in non-English-speaking countries.

【4】Which of the following statements is true?

A. UK students are expected to compete with students around the world.

B. Half UK students are unable to afford the university education in the UK.

C. More UK students choose to study abroad through the EU’s exchange program.

D. Overseas UK students all hope to travel around and experience different cultures

25、While people usually consider New Year’s Day as the beginning of a new year, the Chinese think differently. According to the Chinese calendar, we Chinese think the start of a new year is Chinese New Year.

     ①     

Chinese New Year is a traditional and very important Chinese holiday. It is known as the Spring Festival.

     ②     

Chinese New Year is celebrated through a number of traditions.

Red envelopes: Red is an important color in Chinese culture as it shows good luck and joy. Money is given in red envelopes. The amount (金额) people receive is usually a lucky even number, like two, six, eight and so on. The amount cannot have four, as in Chinese tradition, it means death.

Firecrackers: Firecrackers are popular during Chinese New Year. They are thought to scare off ghosts. Some countries have stopped the use of firecrackers because they can be dangerous.

Lion and dragon dances:These dances are performed by highly-skilled acrobats (杂技演员). The drums are played along with the dance, to frighten away bad spirits. The dragon dance is a highlight (亮点) of the festival around the world, and large crowds get together to watch it .

Food and families: It’s common for Chinese families to have a big dinner the night before Chinese New Year. Many different kinds of delicious food will be prepared for the family get-together.

     ③

27、We are all called upon to make a speech at some point in life, but most of us don’t do a very good job. This article gives some suggestions on how to give a successful speech.

So, you have to give a speech and you’re frightened. You get nervous, you forget what you want to say, you stumble(结巴)over words, you talk too long and your listeners feel tired of your speech. Later you think, “Thank goodness, it’s over. I’m just no good at public speaking. I hope I never have to do that again.”

Cheer up! It doesn’t have to be that bad. You can do the following things to take the pain out of speech making. Ask yourself the purpose of your speech. What is the occasion(场合)? Why are you speaking? Then, collect as many facts as you can on your subject. Spend plenty of time doing your research. Then spend plenty of time putting your material in good order so that your speech is clear and easy to follow. Use as many examples as possible and use pictures, charts and graphs if they help you make your points clearer. Never forget your listeners. Don’t talk over their heads and don’t talk down to them. Respect your listeners. They will enjoy your thoughtfulness.

Just remember: Be prepared. Know your subject, your listeners and the occasion. Be brief. Say what you have to say and then stop. And be yourself. Let your personality come through so that you make person-to-person contact with your listeners.

If you follow the simple things, you’ll see that you don’t have to be afraid of public speaking. In fact, you may find the experience so enjoyable that you volunteer to make more speeches! You’re not confident yet. Give it a try and see what happens.

28、   The Great Wall in China is k【1】 to people all over the world. It is called the Ten-Thousand-Li Great Wall in Chinese. Do you know the famous Chinese saying "He who does not reach the Great Wall is n【2】 a true man."?

The Great Wall is the l【3】 wall in the world. It is m【4】 than 6,000 kilometres long, and b【5】 four and five metres wide. In most places it is wide enough for five horses or ten m【6】 to walk side by side along the top. It was very difficult to build such a great wall w【7】 our modern machines. All the work had to be done by hand. Many people were made to work on the wall away from t【8】 homes. Thousands of them d【9】 and were buried（埋葬） under the wall. The Great Wall was made not only of stone and earth, but also of the flesh and blood（血肉）of m【10】 of men.
