Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.                                
Passage One
Dating and establishing a relationship can be hard work, so a lot of people want to go where they are sure they can meet people with similar interests. For example, they might look for someone who shares a common interest in religion or books. A lot of bookstores in America now have places that serve coffee and food. Many offer special programs and social activities for singles.
     Some Americans use dating services, which help people choose a person they might like. A company called Brief Encounters organizations activities that provide very quick introductions for small groups of people. Men and women meet and get only three to six minutes to introduce themselves. Two people sit across each other at a table, and they talk until a bell rings. Then everyone meets a new person. People write their reactions on paper. They write the names of the people they like best. Then they give these notes to an employee of Brief Encounters. Within 48 hours, the people who take part receive the names and telephone numbers of the people who like them. Some people do not like making hurried choices, saying nobody can make an intelligent choice under those conditions, but other praise this method because it is a way to avoid long hours with some who is not very interesting.  
Some cities in America have restaurants where people hope to find more than just good food. A place called Drip opened in New York City in 1996. It started with the idea of having people write down answers to a series of questions about themselves. Other people then read the answers. If someone likes what they read, an employee sets up a date.
A business called Match.com provides dating services on the Internet. Members can get lists of people around their age who live nearby. Some people identify themselves and even include pictures. The goal is for people to get to know each other through emails. Then, they can decide to meet and date. The business of match.com began in 1995. It says many of its members have married or formed close relationships.

Eating out There are many kinds of food in New York and you shouldn't eat at McDonald's every day. There are good restaurants in Little Italy and Chinatown, for example.

Hotels There are lots of good hotels in New York. The best is The Plaza on 5th Avenue but you don't have to pay a lot to stay in the city; there are lots of smaller hotels and the YMCA near Central Park is great for young people.

Public Transport In New York, there's a good bus and subway service. If you are planning to use the subway a lot, you should buy a subway ticket for the journey because it's cheaper. But you don't have to use public transport—there are lots of places you can go to on foot. The Empire State Building, the 5th Avenue and Central Park. The New York taxis are a part of the city experience, so you should take at least one taxi during your visit!

Places to see
Finally, there are a lot of places to see in New York－Times Square, the Statue of Liberty, and so on. And you shouldn't go home without visiting the Statue of Liberty to enjoy the scenery of the city. Shopping
Shopping in New York is fun. There are big shops on the 5th Avenue. They are open seven days a week. But be careful when you look at the prices; you have to pay a special 8% tax on everything you buy in New York.

Section Two: Read the following passage and choose the most suitable sentence from A-G for each blank. There are two extra sentences which you do not need.
Passage Three

A. Some dreams are very pleasing.   B. It was hard for their tired brains to work. C. When we run fast, our legs work hard. D. No one knows quite surely why sleep is so good for us. E. Everyone has his own dreams. F. But babies, children and grown-ups —all of us need to have our sleep. G. I didn’t get much sleep last night.

Sleep is something we all do. But some people need to sleep more than others. Babies sleep most of the time. Children in school sleep about ten to twelve hours a night. Most grown-ups sleep only seven or eight hours. [    36      ]All parts of our bodies have to rest after they work. Our arms need a rest after we lift heavy things. [     37    ]  They get tired. We have to rest them. Our brains work hard, too. When we are awake, they help us pay attention to the world around us. We can sit quite still and rest our arms and legs. But our brains aren’t resting. They go right on thinking as long as we are awake.
Our brains slow down a bit when we sleep and dream. But even as we sleep, our brains are doing some work. Instead of thinking wide-awake thoughts, our brains make up dreams.   [     38    ]  Some are not. Most of the time we forget them when we wake up.
Scientists have tried to find out what would happen if people were not allowed to sleep. They asked some people not to go to bed. The people stayed up all night and all the next day. They stayed up the next night, too, and the day after. They became very sleepy. They tried to read, but they could not follow the words. They played games, but they made mistakes. They forgot things.  [   39     ]  These people grew rude and mean. They became angry with their friends. Finally they were too tired to stand up. The moment they sat down, they fell asleep.   [    40   ]  But we do know that we need it to stay well. So tonight have a good sleep. Lie down under the covers. Shut your eyes. Let your thoughts travel about. Soon you’ll stop thinking. You’ll be asleep.

Directions: Read the following passage and then translate the five underlined sentences into Chinese.
（41）Gap year (间隔年) refers to a period of time —not necessarily a year — in which students take time off and do something other than schooling, such as travel or work. The year out is most commonly taken after high school and before going to university. （42）During this time, a student might travel, engage in volunteer work or take a working holiday abroad. A new trend is to participate in international education programs that combine language study, home stays, cultural exchange, community service, and independent study. （43）The practice of taking a year out developed in the United Kingdom in the 1960s. It has grown very popular among students in the UK, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada. （44）In the United States, however, the practice of taking a year off remains the exception.  But in recent years, taking a year out has become slightly more common for Americans. （45）Some 40,000 American students participated in 2013 in gap year programs, an increase of almost 20% since 2006. Universities such as Princeton University, Harvard University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology have formal policies allowing students to defer (延期) admission.

One possible version:
Nowadays, many talent shows have appeared on the screen. Whenever you turn on the TV, there are “Super Girls”, “Happy Boys”, “Dream China”, and so on. These shows come in the form of entertainment programs and appeal to young people. Certainly these programs do not become popular for nothing. To start with, young folks are looking for role models to learn from. Many of them find it encouraging to watch contestants of
their age fightinh for their dreams. Talent shows also provide a platform for the obscure people who have real talents. As a student, I believe that talent shows are a superb means of relaxing and amusing people and can hugely relieve my strains. They shoul be encouged and supported.
