When I was 8 years old, I once decided to run away fro hoe.

He ran away fro hoe.” Glancing behind e to see if anyone else was coing, I begged, “Aw, c’on, o! I’ 46 your son. Let e in!” The door inched open and o’s siling face appeared. “Did you change your 47 about running away?” she asked. “What’s for supper?” I answered. (277 words)

When kids in parts of the world want to play, they often ake soccer balls out of trash tied together with string. “ 48 the areas used for playing fields are often rough and rocky, illions of real balls go flat (變癟) 49 24 hours,” says Ti Jahnigen, a California businessan.

When tested, 54 withstood (經(jīng)受住) being crushed by a car, and even being chewed on by a lion. Although it costs ore to produce 55 a typical soccer ball, Jahnigen estiates the One World Futbol can last 30 years. So far, it’s been given to kids in 143 countries. (154 words)
Part III Reading Coprehension (30 arks) Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished stateents. For each of the there are four choices arked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the inforation given in the passage. A Planning a visit to the UK? Here we help with ways to cut your costs. AVOID BIG EVENTS Big sporting events, concerts and exhibitions can increase the cost of accoodation and ake it harder to find a roo. A standard double roo at the Thistle Brighton on the final Friday of the Brighton Coedy Festival (19 Oct.) cost £169.15 at Booking.co. A week later, the sae roo cost £118.15. If you can be flexible and want to know dates to avoid—or you’re looking for a big event to pass your tie—check out sites such as Whatsonwhen.co, which allow you to search for events in the UK by city, date and category. STAYAWAY FRO THE STATION If traveling to your destination by train, you ay want to find a good base close to the station, but you could end up paying ore for the sake of convenience at the start of your holiday. Don’t be too choosy about the part of town you stay in. Booking two onths in advance, the cheapest roo at Travelodge’s Central Euston hotel in London for Saturday 22 Septeber was £95.95. A roo just a tube journey away at its Covent Garden hotel was £75.75. And at Farringdon, a double roo cost just £62.95. LOOK AFTER YOURSELF Really central hotels in cities such as London, Edinburgh and Cardiff can cost a fortune, especially at weekends and during big events. As an alternative consider checking into a self-catering flat with its own kitchen. Often these flats are hidden away on the top floors of city centre buildings. A great exaple is the historic O’Neill Flat on Edinburgh’s Royal ile, available for £420 for five days in late Septeber, with roo for four adults. GET ON A BIKE London’s ‘Boris bikes’ have attracted the ost attention, but other cities also have siilar prograes that let you rent a bicycle and explore at your own pace, saving you on public transport or car parking costs. Aong the saller cities with their own prograes are Newcastle (casual ebers pay around £1.50 for two hours) and Cardiff (free for up to 30 inutes, or £5 per day). (358 words)

I got to know Dorothy in the early 1980s, when I was teaching Early Childhood Developent through a progra with Union College in Barbourville, Kentucky. The job responsibilities required occasional visits to the classroo of each teacher in the progra. Dorothy stands out in y eory as one who “blooed” in her reote area. Dorothy taught in a school In Harlan County, Kentucky, Appalachian ountain area. To get to her school fro the town of Harlan, I followed a road winding around the ountain. In the eight-ile journey, I crossed the sae railroad track five ties, giving the possibility of getting caught by the sae train five ties. Rather than feeling excited by this drive through the ountains, I found it depressing. The poverty level was shocking and the sall shabby houses gave e the greatest feeling of hopelessness. Fro the oent of y arrival at the little school, all gloo (憂郁) disappeared. Upon arriving at Dorothy’s classroo. I was greeted with siling faces and treated like a queen. The children had been prepared to show e their latest projects. Dorothy told e with a big sile that they were serving poke greens salad and cornbread for “dinner” (lunch). In case you don’t know, poke greens are a weed-type plant that grows wild, especially on poor ground. Dorothy never ran out of reports of exciting activities of her students. Her enthusias never cooled down. When it cae tie to sit for the testing and interviewing required to receive her Child Developent Associate Certification, Dorothy was ready. She cae to the assessent and passed in all areas. Afterward, she invited e to the one-and-only steak house in the area to celebrate her victory, as if she had received her Ph. D. degree. After the eal, she placed a little box containing an old pen in y hand. She said it was a faily heirloo (傳家寶), but to e it is a treasured sybol of appreciation and pride that cannot be atched with things. (360 words)

C It’s such a happy-looking library, painted yellow, decorated with pal-tree stickers and sheltered fro the Florida sun by its own roof. About the size of a icrowave oven, it’s pedestrian-friendly, too, waiting for book lovers next to a sidewalk in Pal Beach country Estates, along the northern boundary of Pal Beach Gardens. It’s a library built with love. A year ago, shortly after Janey Henriksen saw a Brian Willias report about the Little Free Library organization, a Wisconsin-based nonprofit that ais to proote literacy and build a sense of counity in a neighborhood by aking books freely available, she announced to her faily of four, “That’s what we’re going to do for our spring break!” Son Austin, now a 10th-grader, didn’t see the point of building a library that resebles a ailbox. But Janey insisted, and husband Peter unwillingly got to work. The 51-year-old owner of a ship supply copany odified a sall wooden house that he’d built years earlier for daughter Abbie’s toy horses, and ade a door of glass. After adding the library’s final touches (裝點), the faily hung a signboard on the front, instructing users to “take a book, return a book,” and aking the Henriksen library, now one of several hundred like it nationwide and aong ore than 2,500 in the world, the only Little Free Library in Pal Beach County. They stocked it with 20 or so books they’d already read, a ix of science fiction, reference titles, novels and kids’ favorites. “I told the, keep in ind that you ight not see it again,” said Janey, a stay-at-hoe o. Since then, the collection keeps replenishing (補充) itself, thanks to ongoing donations fro borrowers. The library now gets an average of five visits a day. The project’s best payoff, says Peter, are the thank-you notes left behind. “We had no idea in the beginning that it would be so popular.” (317 words) 66. In what way is the library “pedestrian-friendly”? A. It owns a yellow roof.B. It stands near a sidewalk. C. It protects book lovers fro the sun.D. It uses pal-tree stickers as decorations. 67.

Part IV Writing (45 arks) Section A (10 arks) Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the nubered blanks by using the inforation fro the passage. Write NO ORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.
While there is no widely accepted definition of OOCs, their key features are open access：they are currently free to participants, no entry qualifications are required, they support an unliited nuber of participants and as yet, very few include any for of accreditation (認證). Currently offered by soe faous universities, OOCs are attractive to people who do not have the financial resources to eet the growing costs of university education, or who do not have foral qualifications. They also allow participants to study at their own pace. The potential for OOCs to deliver education is obviously vast—they could be considered as a huge step forwards in widening participation. They also have the potential to provide a unique window on universities that offer popular and valuable courses, they ay attract soe participants to register for foral fee-paying prograes at the sae or other universities and are likely to proote new ways of on-line education. However, it is still very early days for OOCs. The quality of the education provision is highly variable, with any courses offering only recordings of lectures, and delivery is particularly difficult in soe special fields that require practical classes, research projects or extensive library access. Besides, wider engageent with participants requires very considerable resource. Even liited feedback or exaination becoes a ajor task if there are several thousand students in the class. Considering the challenges, soe people argue OOCs will soon evaporate (蒸發(fā)). But they certainly provide good opportunity for widening higher education, are a eans of raising awareness of universities to audiences of tens or hundreds of thousands, and are well worthy of serious consideration.

Section B (10 arks) Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the inforation given in the passage. “Let’s Talk”：The Free Advice Project A few weeks ago, I took a walk around Washington Square Park. I et all the usual people：street perforers, the Pigeon Guy, a group of guitarists singing in harony. But off to the side, sitting on a bench was a woan doing soething vastly different—giving free advice. A week or two later, I set up an interview with her and we discussed her project at length. Lisa Podell, 32, started the Free Advice Project this past ay. It began as an experient；she sat in Washington Square Park for a day with a sign that read “Free Advice” as a siple way to reach out to people. Podell was astonished at the strong response. Podell adits that she was doubtful at first, but now she describes the project as utually (相互地) beneficial. People learn fro her—but she also learns fro the. She says that the ajority of those who coe to her are dealing with soe pretty heavy issues, and they expect her not only to listen, but also provide real answers. Having worked as a full tie teacher and now as an adolescent advisor, Podell believes that talking things out is an iportant in the decision-aking process. Soeties, people walk around all day, keeping their probles in their own head and thinking about the in the sae way. Podell siply strives to provide people with perspective. I asked if there is a future plan for the Free Advice Project. Podell said she would like to proote it to each public space in New York, which would be carried out by various volunteers across the city. It was truly inspiring to eet soeone with such a big heart, especially in New York—where it is soeties very hard to find anybody to listen. (303 words)
