文章大意:本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了伦敦的一种新杂志——电视杂志及其特点。
3 . 阅读下面材料,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

London has a new magazine. But it is not printed on paper. Everyone who has a television can receive it because it is     1     TV.

In order to read this magazine, each page of     2     is numbered, you have to have a decoder, and you only have to dial the number to choose which subject you want to read about. There is a wide choice that everything     3     (include) from cooking to the latest sports news.

    4     you want to read the news, the first thing you have to do is to turn to the index page which has     5     easy-to-remember page number, 100 for example. Then you start choosing what you want to read. The news is on pages 101 to 109 so you push out the numbers and the news appears     6     (write) across your screen. Perhaps you want to go out in the afternoon, so you press 181, and a brightly colored weather map appears on the screen. But the weather is terrible so you decide to go shopping and dial 162 for a list of the week's best bargains. But should you drive or take the train?     7    (answer) that question, you only have to press 189 for the traffic report. It is very simple to use. But probably the     8    (good) thing about the service is that it is being updated all the time. Journalists type new material     9    (direct) onto the screen and whole pages of the magazine     10     be replaced in minutes.

4 . Sports and movies often go hand in hand. Many important elements of good storytelling are present in most sports competitions. As a result, screenwriters and directors are keen on telling interesting stories of athletes. Here are a few truly unforgettable sports films over the past years alone.

Read on! Kids.

Teen Wolf

Year released: 1985       Director: Rod Daniel

Teen wolf is one of the most famous films of the 1980s, starring Michael J. Fox who was one of the biggest stars of the decade. Fox acts the role of a werewolf (狼人) boy, Scott Howard. He stands out as a player of the school basketball team, gaining popularity and attention.

The film tells the story of a small town in Indiana and how its high school goes on to win a state title despite all the difficulties.

Year released: 1996       Director: Joe Pytka

There are too many reasons to love this film: the presence of the NBA’S greatest superstar together with cartoon legends, the great final game between the Monstars and the Tune Squad.

7 . When you study abroad in France, you can expect to be treated the same as your native classmates, whether in a lecture or a discussion class.

While you can study abroad in France and focus on nearly any subject, it’s the students with a passion for the arts, architecture and history that rush to the country in the largest numbers. And that’s no shock, considering that France has been the center of the arts for centuries.

As students of the arts, you will have to make careful use of your time, given all that France has to offer.

--Visit the Louvre to view the works of French artists such as Monet, Matisse and Renoir;

--Read the works of such French literary geniuses as Baudelaire, Proust and Voltaire;

--Listen to the music of Debussy, or more contemporary (当代的) artists like Air and Daft Punk.

France is also a main destination for architecture students, as you will see architecture in nearly every style:

--The Gothic Chateau de Chambord, built in the 1500s;

--Place Dauphine built in 1607 in Baroque style;

--The post—modern housing development, Marne—la—Vallee.

History students will find that France has been where the action is for quite some time. Over the course of the centuries, it has been the stage for the most important developments in the history of mankind, including the French Revolution, the rise of Napoleon and the rise of the Fifth Republic under President Charles de Gaulle. It was also the site of the D —Day invasion (诺曼底登陆) of world War II.

As a possible study abroad location, France has a lot to offer, because the combination of educational institutions (教育机构), arts and culture, and national history are second to none.

1. What can we learn about studying abroad in France from the text?
A.Few students choose to study in France.
B.France is the best place for students who love the arts.
C.Students from China are usually treated badly.
D.There are no lectures and discussion classes.
2. What can art students do on weekends?
A.Enjoy Voltaire’s music.B.Listen to Proust’s music.
C.View Monet’s works in the Louvre.D.Read Renoir’s literary works.
3. Where is the text most likely taken from?
A.A study abroad websiteB.An architecture advertisement.
C.A history book.D.A fashion magazine.

8 . Want to explore new cultures, meet new people and do something worthwhile at the same time? You can do all the three with Global Development Association(GDA). Whatever stage of life you’re at, wherever you go and whatever project you do in GDA, you’ll create positive changes in a poor and remote community(社区).

We work with volunteers of all ages and backgrounds. Most of our volunteers are aged 17-24. Now we need volunteer managers aged 25-75. They are extremely important in the safe and effective running of our programmes. We have such roles as project managers, mountain leaders, and communication officers.

Depending on which role you choose, you could help to increase a community’s access to safe drinking water, or help to protect valuable local cultures. You might also design an adventure challenge to train young volunteers.

Not only will you help our young volunteers to develop personally, you’ll also learn new skills and increase your cultural awareness. You may have chances to meet new people who’ll become your lifelong friends.

This summer we have both 4-week and 7-week programmes:
