Other exciting acts are the martial arts(武术), balancing of bowls, rope walking, pole climbing, roller skating and plate swirling(转碟子), etc.

When you first arrive in Oxford, it may take a little while for you to find your way around. The university is a large organization that is fully integrated into the city and has been evolving for 800 years. Some of the first things our students do when they arrive include finding a bike (most students in Oxford find cycling is the best way to go around), setting up a bank account, getting their computer and mobile phone working, finding their department, getting to know their college and working out the best places to socialize.
One of the major events you will experience shortly after “coming up” to Oxford is matriculation. Matriculation is held at the University’s Sheldonian Theatre and is the ceremony at which you are formally admitted to the university.
International students are invited to an orientation day at the start of the academic year. Sessions run throughout the day that will give you practical information about living and studying in UK and introduce you to other graduate students from all over the world who are starting their studies at Oxford at the same time as you, as well as to current Oxford graduate students and staff who will be able to help and advise you. The day covers topics such as studying and learning in the Oxford system, University services, information on living in Britain and culture differences, as well as addressing practical issues such as employment, immigration and visas, health and safety. You can choose which talks to attend and at the end of the day there is a social hour so you can meet fellow students.
Another good thing to experience early is college dining. Most colleges have a tradition of regular formal hall dinners, which consist of three or four courses, and the atmosphere of an evening out in a nice restaurant. On some of these occasions you can invite people around to your college for dinner and then they may return the favor. In this way, you can get to know people studying your own and other subjects at the same time as visiting many of the historical college grounds and dining halls.
Further information on your first few weeks at Oxford is available via the Students Gateway on our website, and you can get first-hand accounts of what life at Oxford is like by watching videos of students talking about their experiences on our Wall of 100 Faces.
24．For a newcomer to Oxford, what does he have to do first？
A．to work out what to major in.
B．to open a qq account.
C．to get a bike to go around.
D．to buy a new mobile phone.
25．What is matriculation？
A．Performances held at the Sheldonian Theatre.
B．A ceremony when students are formally admitted to Oxford.
C．The best places to socialize.
D．A special day for International students to start academic.
26．Which talk can students attend on the orientation day？
A．Studying in the Cambridge system.
B．Practical issue like employment, immigration, visas, health and insurance.
C．Talks on how to meet fellow students.
D．University services about the life in Britain and cross-culture barrier.
27．What does the underlined part in paragraph 4 probably mean？
显示答案与解析A．treating you to dinner.
B．visiting historic college in return.
C．studying the subjects with your friend.
D．showing you around the college.

I was as normal as other children, totally exposed to brilliant sunshine and splendid world. However, I became blind at four after falling off a box car in a yard and landing on my head. Now I am thirty-two. I can slightly remember the brightness of sunshine and what color red is. It would be wonderful to see again, but a calamity(灾难) can do strange things to people. It occurred to me the other day that I might not have come to love life as I do if I hadn’t been blind. I don’t mean that I would prefer to go without my eyes. I simply mean that the loss of them made me appreciate the more what I had left.
Life, I believe, asks adjustments to reality. The more readily a person is able to make these adjustments, the more meaningful his own private world becomes. The adjustment is never easy. I was totally confused and frightened. But luckily, my parents and teacher saw my potential to live, and they made me want to fight it out with blindness.
The hardest lesson I had to learn was to believe in myself. That was basic. If I hadn’t been able to do that, I would have broken down and become a chair rocker on the front porch for the rest of my life. When I say belief in myself, I am not talking about simply the kind of self confidence that helps me down an unfamiliar staircase alone, but something bigger than that：an assurance that I am, despite imperfections, a real, positive person; that somewhere in the complicated pattern of people there is a special place where I can make myself fit.
It took me years to discover and strengthen this assurance. It had to start with the simplest things. Once a man gave me an indoor baseball and urged me to roll it around. His words stuck in my head. “Roll it around!” By rolling the ball I could hear where it went. This gave me an idea how to achieve a goal I had thought impossible：playing baseball. Later I invented a successful variation of baseball—groundball.
I have set a series of goals and tried to reach them, one at a time. It was no good trying for something that I knew at the start was wildly out of reach because that only invited the bitterness of failure. I would fail sometimes anyway but on the average I made progress.
28．What attitude does the author take to his blindness？
A．Pessimistic. B．Optimistic.
C．Desperate. D．Shameful.
29．According to the passage, which statement is TRUE？
A．After struggling, the author discovered his potential on his own and began to live with it.
B．The author invented a baseball with the help and encouragement of a kind man.
C．The author happened to be blind due to a car accident.
D．The author would not appreciate life if the calamity hadn’t occurred.
30．What is the greatest challenge for the author？
A．Attempting to adjust himself to reality.
B．Figuring out his own potential to live on one’s own.
C．Building up his own confidence so that he can find his place in society.
D．Setting and reaching a series of goals.
31．What is the best title of the passage？
显示答案与解析A．A Disaster Pushes a man forward
B．A Fateful Accident
C．A Sorrowful Life
D．Fighting Against Difficulties
D
Wise compromise is one of the basic principle and virtue of the British.
If a continental greengrocer asks 14 shillings (or crowns, or francs) for a bunch of radishes, and his customer offer 2, and finally they strike a bargain agreeing on 6 shilling, this is just the low continental habit of bargaining; on the other hand if the British dock-workers or any other workers claim a rise of 4 shillings per day, and the employer first flatly refuse even a penny, but after a six week’s strike they agree to a rise of 2 shilling a day—that is yet another proof of the British genius for compromise. Bargaining is a hateful habit; compromise is one of the highest human virtues—the difference between the two is that the first is practiced on the continent, the latter in Great Britain.
The genius for compromise has another aspect, too. It has a tendency to unite together everything that is bad. English club life, for instance, unites the duties of social life with the boredom of being alone. An average English house combines all the curses of civilizations with the ups and downs of life in the open. It is all right to have windows, but you must do not have double windows because double would indeed stop the wind from blowing right into the room, and after all, you must be fair and give the wind a chance. It is all right to have central heating in an English home, except in the bathroom, because that is the only place where you are naked and wet at the same time, and you must give British germs a fair chance. The open fire is an accepted, indeed a traditional institution. You sit in front of it and your face is hot while your back is cold. It is a fair compromise between two extremes and settles the problem of how to burn and catch cold at the same time.
English spelling is a compromise between documentary expressions and an delicate code-system; spending 3 hours in a queue in front of a cinema is a compromise between entertainment and asceticism(苦行主义); the English weather is a fair compromise between rain and fog; to employ an English charwoman is a compromise between have a dirty house or cleaning it yourself; Yorkshire pudding is a compromise between a pudding and the county of Yorkshire.
32．What is the tone of author while writing this passage？
A．Serious. B．Sincere.
C．Humorous. D．Delightful.
33．Which of the following is NOT the example of compromise of the British in the passage？
A．The employer finally promises his workers a rise of 2 shilling a day.
B．People sit in front an open fire and their face is hot while their back is cold.
C．The house has double windows and central heating system in the bathroom.
D．To see a film，some people would like to wait in a queue for 3 hours.
34．What is the weather like in Britain according to the passage？
A．It is foggy when it is raining.
B．It is determined by humidity.
C．It is sunny and bright.
D．It is either foggy or rainy.
35．Where does this text probably come from？
显示答案与解析A．A Culture Magazine. B．The Business Weekly.
C．A Travel Brochure. D．An English Literature Textbook.

3 habits of remarkably charming people
Some people instantly make us feel important. Some people instantly make us feel special. Some people light up a room just by walking in. They're naturally charming. 36 Familiarity leads to, well, familiarity.
37 ：They build and maintain great relationships, consistently influencing the people around them positively. They’re the kind of people we all want to be around and want to be. Fortunately we can, because being remarkably charming isn’t about our level of Success or our presentation skills or how we dress or the image we project—it’s about what we do. Here are the 3 habits of remarkably charming people:
They listen more than they talk.
Ask questions. Maintain eye contact, smile, flown or nod. In a word, respond—not so much verbally, but nonverbally. 38 Then when you do speak, don’t offer advice unless you’re asked. Listening shows you care a lot more than offering advice.
39
No one receives enough praise. No one. Tell people what they did well. Wait, you say you don’t know what they did well？ Shame on you—it’s your job to know. It’s your job to find out ahead of time. Not only will people appreciate your praise, they’ll appreciate the fact you care enough to pay attention to what they’re doing.
They choose their words.
For example, you don’t have to go to a meeting; you get to go meet with other people. You don’t have to create a presentation for a new client; you get to share cool stuff with other people. You don’t have to go to the gym; 40 You don’t have to interview job candidates; you get to select a great person to join your team.
显示答案与解析A．Praise IS what we need when we don’t feel good about ourselves.
B．That’s all it takes to show the other person they’re important.
C．you get to work out and improve your health and fitness.
D．But some people are remarkably charming.
E．They discuss the failings of others.
F．Unfortunately, natural charm quickly loses its impact.
G．They shine the spotlight on others.

Five years ago I was a completely different person. I never say much in a crowd, but I seldom made a small talk with people I didn’t know very well. I was just unbelievable shy and reserved. Anyway, then I went away to college, and I had the roommates, Nora. She had great sense of humor and laughed at all my jokes. Nora and I joined a small study group at college. When we were finished studying, we went out for coffee. Conversation was easily because we both had a lot in common. Now my new friends think to me as the “funny one” in the group. Can you believe them？ So, I’d say I’m much more friendly and outgoing now. I don’t worry about speaking up and give my opinions anymore. In fact, I’m thinking about joining a few more clubs so I can meet even more new people and do more things.
