【題目】 Offering Free Homestay in Singburi Thailand in Exchange for Short Term ESL (非母語英語課程) Teaching Peetim’s ESL Homestay offers volunteers lodging (寄宿), food, laundry and Thai culture in exchange for teaching English in her private schools. Peetim’s homestay is in a village near Singburi, a small town about 2 hours’ drive north of Bangkok. Her home is spacious, safe, clean, and quiet. There are several bedrooms, bathrooms, and classrooms — and some refrigerators in different spots. Every room has reliable, fast wifi. It’s only 10 minutes’ drive to KFC and 5 minutes’ drive to a large supermarket. Besides, several small stores are within walking distance. A motorbike into town is 60 baht (銖，泰國(guó)貨幣單位) roundtrip.

Peetim’s husband has a large mat for teaching Thai boxing. You can prepare your lessons and Peetim can provide you with curriculums. Student skill level is pretty low, so plan to teach basic vocabulary and simple conversations. Pictures and videos are great. For the younger learners, use plenty of games and songs. Peetim’s housekeeper doesn’t speak English, but Peetim is fluent. She can provide you with an invitation letter to get a volunteer visa for up to 3 months at 2700 baht. The homestay is free, but many volunteers pay Peetim as much as several thousand baht per month. Utilities (公用事業(yè)) in Thailand are 1000-3000 baht, depending on electricity use. Food in Thailand is 100-300 baht, depending on your diet and appetite. Peetim communicates through Facebook rather than by email.

【解析】

這是一篇應(yīng)用文。泰國(guó)的Peetim將為來其私立學(xué)院教英語的老師提供免費(fèi)住宿服務(wù)。

【1】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段Peetim’s ESL Homestay offers volunteers lodging, food, laundry and Thai culture in exchange for teaching English in her private schools.可知，Peetim的ESL寄宿家庭為志愿者提供住宿、食物、洗衣和泰國(guó)文化，以換取在她的私立學(xué)校教授英語。由此可推知，本廣吿主要的對(duì)象是英語為母語的人。故選C。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段Student skill level is pretty low, so plan to teach basic vocabulary and simple conversations.可知，Peetim學(xué)校里的學(xué)生英語基礎(chǔ)很差，所以教授內(nèi)容是基礎(chǔ)詞匯和簡(jiǎn)單對(duì)話。由此可知，在Peetim的學(xué)校里寄宿者要教學(xué)生們基礎(chǔ)英語。故選A。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段Peetim communicates through Facebook rather than by email.可知，Peetim通過Facebook而不是郵件與人交流。由此可知,她是Facebook的用戶。故選B。

【題目】 Chris Mazdzer won a silver medal in a men’s luge (無舵雪橇) singles event at 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, South Korea — equaling the best finish ever for any member of the US Olympic luge team. In the luge, competitors lie flat, feet first, on a small sled (雪橇). They can travel around an icy track at speeds up to 140 kilometers an hour. The riders control the sled’s speed by changing the position of their feet or by moving their shoulders.

So why did the US luge team win a medal at the Pyeongchang Olympics? Most credit must go to Chris Mazdzer himself. The American said his win was a product of 16 years of preparation and intense training. But another reason for Mazdzer’s success could have been the 3-D printing technology, which his team used to make its equipment.

The term 3-D is short for three dimensional, meaning an object with length, width and height. In 3-D printing, 3-D models are first created as files, or documents, on a computer. The printer then uses a substance (物質(zhì)) like plastic or metal to create physical objects. The process involves making one layer of material at a time until the objects reach full form.

The US luge team worked with an American company called Stratasys on the designing and manufacturing process for the sleds. First, the company made a scan, or image, of the body of every member of the luge team. Then, 3-D printing technology was used to create tools for making molds (模子) in the shape of Olympians on top of a sled. The process of designing and tooling sled parts is highly complex and can take several weeks. Officials from the US luge team say 3-D printing can greatly simplify the process, speeding up the production of parts.

Jon Owen, says the use of 3-D printing has made the team more competitive. It helps the team “continuously adjust designs and run the sleds on the track much faster than traditional processes,” he said. He added that the technology also provides a way to perfectly fit each rider to the sled, while cutting production time and costs.

【1】According to the author, what mainly contributed to Mazdzer’s winning the medal?

A.His own great efforts.B.His using a new technique.

C.The cooperation with his luge team.D.The US Olympic luge team’s encouragement.

【2】To make the sleds for the team, what did the company have to do?

A.To create tools for making sled parts.

B.To take some photos of the members first.

C.To create molds according to the members’ bodies.

D.To ask the Olympians to be present for several weeks.

【3】From the last paragraph we learn that 3-D printing most probably __________.

A.saves plenty of competitors’ training time

B.helps competitors achieve their full potential

C.requires great skills of riders to fit the track

D.allows riders to change their sleds continuously

【4】What is the text mainly about?

A.How 3-D printing usually works.

B.How we take advantage of 3-D printing.

C.How the US luge team performed this year.

D.How 3-D printing helped Team US go for gold.

【題目】Dear Sir,

I have to travel every day from Souk Road to the airport. Two buses travel along their route: the number 49 and number 16. But by the time the number 16 bus reaches Souk Road it is always full, so I can’t get on it. I have to wait for the number 49, because sometimes there are empty seats on it.

The timetable says that there are buses from Souk Road to the airport every ten minutes. If this is so, why do I have to wait half an hour for a bus nearly every day?

The regulations (規(guī)章) say that if there are empty seats on a bus, the bus must stop at every stop where people are waiting. Why do the half-empty buses go straight past me when I am standing at the bus stop?

The regulations say that no bus may carry more than 40 seated passengers and 20 standing passengers. Yesterday I was the first to get off the bus when it reached the airport. I counted the other passengers as they got off. There were 129 of them.

It is clear that our bus companies break the regulations and think little of their passengers. Can nothing be done to make your service better?

Yours,

Tired passenger

【1】The writer has to take Bus No. 49 because ______.

A.it is not always fullB.it arrives on time

C.it travels fasterD.it has fewer seats on it

【2】The regulations say that each bus may carry ______ passengers at most.

A.20B.40

C.129D.60

【3】What kind of letter is this passage?

A.It’s a letter of thanksB.It’s a letter of apology

C.It’s a letter of introductionD.It’s a letter of complaint

【題目】Does the Body Burn Fat When You Are Hungry?

Your body stores fat as a way to help protect you against starvation if you can’t take in enough food. However, your fat reserve isn’t the first place your body goes for food. Instead, it reaches out for sugar for energy. 【1】

Hunger is normally a reflection that your body has used up energy from recent food you ate and has moved onto getting energy from sugar in your blood. 【2】 The more sugar you take in, the more fuel your body has to use before it reaches out to the fat stores. If your body doesn’t have enough sugar to supply the energy it needs, it begins to burn fat when you’re hungry instead.

Missing meals and going hungry can change your metabolism (新陳代謝) so it stores fat instead of burning it. 【3】 However, if you skip meals for several days and severely lower your calorie (卡路里) intake, your body begins to store as much fat as possible.

【4】 Your body burns up sugar stored in your system and begins to burn fat as you continue to exercise. However, exercising when you’re hungry won’t help you burn fat faster. A recent study shows that the body burns the same amount of fat regardless of whether you are hungry when you exercise.

Staying hungry all day won’t necessarily help you burn fat, but cutting calories is key to losing weight. 【5】 Snack (吃點(diǎn)心) in between meals to keep your metabolism working all day, which helps it burn more fat than if it’s allowed to slow down when it’s not meal time. Snacking in between meals can help you control your meal sizes at meal time.

A. Exercise is key to burning fat.

B. You shouldn’t cut out food to cut calories.

C. This doesn’t happen in a day of missing meals.

D. Just being hungry doesn’t mean your body is burning fat.

E. If you take in less food than your body burns, you’ll lose weight.

F. Your body stores sugar in case you need it when you feel hungry.

G. Eat five or six small meals throughout the day instead of three large ones.
