10、 school in the first two weeks of july. i had been thoroughly looking forward to learning english and learning about culture in the uk, but i am afraid that my time at your summer school failed to live up to my expectations.your brochure states that the student accommodation is situated “in the hear

11、t of edinburgh”. this is misleading as my accommodation was, in fact, situated a good fifty minutes bus ride from the city center in what i can only describe as a less than picturesque part of the suburbs.in addition, the activity programme did not reflect the fact that we were located in one of eur

12、opes most interesting and historical cities: one evening activity consisted of a walk to a nearby park, another was a trip to a narrow street which was not usually used by cars. finally, on our one trip into the city center our “guide” readily admitted that she was not from edinburgh, and had in fac

13、t never visited the city before. i had been eagerly expecting a guided tour of scotlands treasures. in fact, i was left in the city center with no map and told to “check things out” while your employee went shopping in princes street.this was a long awaited trip and cost me over two years hard work

14、and saving. although i do have positive memories of my trip (my english teachers were knowledgeable and inspiring), the accommodation and activity programme were wholly unsatisfactory.i would like to get my money back for the accommodation and would really appreciate a reply within the next two week

15、s.yours sincerely,jovan gagic21. jovan wrote the email to _. a. express dissatisfactionb. share experiencesc. provide information d. raise expectations22. according to jovan, the guide _.a. organized cultural activities b. had a good knowledge of the cityc. failed to perform dutiesd. received punish

17、passing vehicle and it was destroyed. no problem, i thought: well buy another. but the insurance payout didnt even begin to cover the costs of buying a new cari worked out that, with the loan (貸款) wed need plus petrol, insurance, parking permits and tax, we would make a payment as much as £600

18、a month. and thats when i had my fancy idea. why not just give up having a car at all? i live in london. we have a railway station behind our house, a tube station 10 minutes walk away, and a bus stop at the end of the street. a new car club had just opened in our area, and one of its shiny little r

19、ed peugeots was parked nearby. if any family in britain could live without a car, i reasoned, then surely we were that family.but my new car-free idea, sadly, wasnt shared by my family. my teenage daughters were horrified. what would their friends think about our family being “too poor to afford a c

20、ar”? (i wasnt that bothered what they thought, and i suggested the girls should take the same approach.)my friends, too, were astonished at our plan. what would happen if someone got seriously ill overnight and needed to go to hospital? (an ambulance) how would the children get to and from their man

21、y events? (buses and trains) people smiled as though this was another of my mad ideas, before saying they were sure id soon realize that a car was a necessity.eight months on, i wonder whether well ever own a car again. the idea that you “have to” own a car, especially if you live in a city, is all

22、in the mind. i liveand many other citizens do tooin a place that has never been better served by public transport, and yet car ownership has never been higher. we worry about rising car costs, but wed be better off asking something much more basic: do i really need a car? certainly the answer is no,

23、 and im a lot richer because i dared to ask the question.24. the author decided to live a car-free life partly because _. a. most families chose to go car-freeb. the cost of a new car was too much c. he was hurt in a terrible car accidentd. the traffic jam was unbearable for him25. what is the attit

25、er the eight-month car-free life? a. life cannot go without a car. b. life without a car is a little bit hard. c. a car-free life does not suit everyone.d. his life gets improved without a car.c tea vs coffee tea and coffee are two of the most widely consumed drinks in the united states. with p

26、opularity and interest in tea continuing to grow in recent years, many consumers have recently considered making the switch from coffee to tea, if they have not done so already. all the buzz surrounding tea and coffee may have you wondering, what are the differences? as it turns out, the d

27、ifferences are many and varied.in the us, interest in tea ranges from coast to coast with the highest in hawaii and california but stretching to the eastern states of vermont and new york. on the other hand, the highest interest in coffee tends to be concentrated more in the north and western region

28、s(地區(qū)), with the highest search volumes appearing in the states of hawaii, washington and minnesota.differences between tea and coffee also vary in origin and production.  all tea comes from the harvested leaves of the camellia sinensis plant, while there are about 60 different species of coffee

29、 plants.  production of tea is quicker and more efficient: camellia sinensis plants only need to grow for three years before they are ready to process; coffee plants take up to five years.perhaps the most concerning issue consumers have when considering making the switch to tea is the ques

30、tion of caffeine. the good news is, when it comes to tea and caffeine, there is something for everyone. unlike coffee, which typically only comes in decaffeinated and regular, there are several varieties of tea available, based on caffeine preference. from herbal teas that are natural

31、ly free of caffeine, to high quality green and black teas that offer less than half the caffeine of coffee, to high caffeine teas such as our specially formulated hicaf® blends that contain slightly more caffeine than a cup of coffee, there is a variety sure to suit your needs. as an added

32、 bonus, the lower acidity levels in tea tend to be gentler on the stomach for a more comforting pick-me-up. so what is the answer, coffee or tea? if you are looking for the most healthful benefit possible, tea is probably the winner. they say a picture is worth a thousand words. if, like many a

33、mericans, the rising popularity in tea has your interest piqued, the images below will help to clearly spell out the differences between tea and coffee. 28. it can be learned from the passage that _.      a. coffee is of much higher production than teab. tea a

37、right fingerprint(指紋),” barack obama asked last tuesday, “why cant we do the same thing for our guns?” for this reasonable-sounding question, the president was applauded throughout the media.as it happens, though, there is a good answer to this question: there is no market for guns that work just so

38、me of the time. guns are simple things designed to operate as easily and reliably as possible. the introduction of electronics eats away this simplicity, and to a degree that is absolutely unacceptable to the consumer. as president obama well knows, the fingerprint software on his phone works rather

39、 erratically: often it takes a user two or three tries to log in; occasionally, it falls asleep deeply and obeys the password. when this happens on an phone, the user is mildly inconvenienced. if this were to happen on a gun, the user would be dead. there is a reason that modern smartphones put the

40、camera function outside of the authentication(認(rèn)證) process.how could we possibly think that guns are the same as other commercial products? it is true that, say, cars have become much safer over the last few decades. but a car is not intended to hurt people, and in a perfect world nobody would ever b

41、e injured by one. can we say the same of guns? of course not. guns are killing machines, designed to do damage to living things. in fact, they have no other purpose. as such, the important question before any free people is not “are guns dangerous?”, they are, but “who gets them, and why?”this is no

42、t to say that nothing at all can be done to improve public safety. on an individual level, gun owners should do everything to ensure that their guns are kept away from children, and, where possible, they should train themselves in case they are ever called upon to shoot in anger. at the national lev

44、y self-harmed is a small victory. how to address those deaths that remain? that is a tricky one. i do not know the answer, and nor, frankly, does anybody else. but selling fantasies to the ignorant is not going to cut it. 32. what does the writer mainly argue in this passage? a. gun crime has been g
