UnitPart A: ComprehendithtextAdvertising1. to inform us of new products or good bargains/help producers to selltheir products. we are exposed to too much advertising now and so much of it ismisleading, so many people now ignore it.2. visit some of the attractions of the island, including a trip to an ancientcavern/study the fascinating sea creatures of that area. use the hotel swimming pool/paddling pool or play on themini-golf course; visit the less adventurous places of interest ( in anair-conditioned vehicle) such as a local lake. around Lake Tali. the accommodation “units”. the resort is new and the owners claim to be more interested inmaking the guests happy than making money.3.small, bare, exposed rock in the middle of the ocean. dangerous because of the many sharks. there is no water in it. it is too small and too shallow for the stories to be true. Bantu Island is a long way away so the money will be travelingfurther. The expression is not being used in its usual meaning ofmoney lasting longer as things are so cheap.4.to be very careful when reading advertisements and always try tocheck the information from an independent source before youbuy whatever is being advertised.Part CInterpreting the text1. The writer is trying to say that advertising is often very misleadingand, in some cases, “l(fā)egalized lying”. The advertising brochure forBantu Island is obviously very misleading - and, although nothing itsays is actually a lie, it could be argued that it does not represent thetruth.2. Because once they got to the island and saw what it was like, theywould not want to go on any tours. 3. No, it was very carefully worded so that it would be difficult to proveit told any lies - simply did not tell the whole truth or misled thereader in different ways. For example, the resort does have aswimming pool (and even a paddling pool) - it does not actually saythat they dont have any water; it does say that sea creatures abound, itdoes not say that are sharks, etc.4.We should look carefully at things that seem attractive (and cheap).There is often a problem that is not obvious. This might also apply toother things, such as a motor vehicle, a new apartment, “specialoffers” on CDs, books, etc.Developing yoskillsBrochureNewspaper_A Once in a Lifetime Holiday(This means sth very special soA “Never-To-Repeated” Holiday(This means it only happens once becauseLayoutspecial it cannot ever be repeated.)it was so bad you would never do it again.)A Holiday for All the FamilyA “Holiday” for Nobody_sea creaturesbrand-newcooledrareIt omits any details of the size, etc.Choices ofof the attractions (e.g. Lake Tali).InformationNo mention of having to wash ina small stream (i.e. no plumbingor washing facilities in the hotel).sharkshalf-builtblastedThey dont exist_ you wont have a penny moreA “Holiday” for Nobody - the invertedPunctuationto pay! - The exclamation mark iscommas indicate that the writer feels thesupposed to show the reader what aword “Holiday” is not the correct word. the holiday.wonderful deal she/he is getting withThe “ Beauties of Bantu Island” - againThe inverted commas suggest that “Beauties”does not describe the reality of the Island.“ Air-conditioned”, “back-to-nature”,“ resort”, “l(fā)ake”, etc. All these show thatthe writer does not feel the words are beingusedwiththeirusualmeaningandconnotations._填空：(Page 10Come aneat at thLuxurious and Relaxing “French KitchenEnjoy the wonderful selection of tempting dishes from our extensive menu.The magnificent view over the ocean will make it an evening to remember/cherish.Our highly-trained/professional/friendly and experienced/ knowledgeable/polite staff will bedelighted/pleased/thrilled to look after your every need and the reasonable/inexpensive prices willpleasantly surprise you.Dondelay/wa t.

These exams “decide their future” and the penalties for failure are“final”. Also look at speech paragraph 6 - the “threat of being afailure for life” is perhaps even worse than a death sentence.2. The labour market does not urgently need “newly qualified people”,there is no “hurry”; the situation is not critical.3. to compare the large number of lessons (“17,745) with the tinyresult(“how little I knew at the end”) and also to say that“40-minute pieces of learning” and “l(fā)ittle pieces of geography orhistory or biology” do not really add up to any substantial body ofknowledge. Perhaps, too, the writer wants to show that mere statistics(“17,745 lessons do not really prove that the results are good.4.The word suggests an unpleasant experience. The writer was, when achild, the subject-and the education system was the “boss” theresults of the childs subjection were not good. Also look at speechparagraph 8 again: the system “can never be called efficient”; itsimply helps the administrators and the bureaucrats.Developing yoskillsPart A Using referencmarkers1. c2. b3. c4. aPart B: Usidiscoursmarkers For each of the following, fill in the gaps by choosing 1.However/Y et;showing contrast2.on the whole / in general/ generally speaking/ overall;generalizing3.except/ except for/ with the exception of;introducing exceptions4.as for/ as regards;focusing attention5.so/ and so/ so now;showing logical sequenceExtending yovocabularyPart A: Wor d tot note1. carefree2. intolerable3. receptive4. compulsory5. severe6. motivated7. applied8. franticallyPart B: Expression1-regardless of2. - how much3. - certainly4. -must5. - help to ruin6. -frequently7.- resultUnit ThreA Tale o the UnexpectePart A: SequenciPicture 1They were sitting round a coffee tableThomas was wearing his police uniform.There was a coal fire burning.Snow was blowing against the window.Picture 2Only the man and his wife were in the kitchen.There was a garden and a garden gate outside.The man at the garden gate was wearing police uniform.The man at the garden gate was very tall.Picture 3The man was sitting next to the fire.Thomas had a blood stain on his chest.The grandmother was also standing behind Thomas.Part B: Comprehendithtext Answer the following as fully as possible.1. The curse was that the bag and its “evil contents” gave the grandfatherpower too much power. The power enabled him to get anything hewanted in life but he had to pay a high price for this power. Theprice was the life of his wife.2. He bought the house with the help of the power he had been given bythe bag. But he forgot the warning there was a price to pay for thispower.3. His first wish was for 100,000 pounds. He would have received thismoney because of the Life Insurance his son Thomas was insured.When Thomas was killed, the Insurance Company paid him thismoney.4. Arthurs second wish was “I want all my family to be together.” Thiswish came true but not in the way he had intended. Instead ofThomas having his life restored to him, Arthur and his wife died andwhen they died they “met” Thomas again; they also “met” Arthursparents. Arthurs wish had been granted all the family were“together” again but they were now all dead.Part C: Interpretithe text1.After the last sentence of paragraph 1: The old mans wife had had a terrible accident and diedon the day he bought the house. -4532.-453After the last sentence of the second paragraph of the letter from the grandfather: He also toldme that I must never try to destroy the bag or disasters would fall on all my family.3.After the last sentence of paragraph 9: A cold fear suddenly swept through Arthur Sladesbody as his wife went to open the door.4.After the last sentence of the text: So, here we all are, together again.Developing yoskillsPart A: Workiouthe relevance1. Similarly on the night that Arthur asked for 100,000 pounds, his sonThomas died.2. Both Arthur and his father paid the price for the “help” they asked for.They both knew the bag was “evil” but they both used it to get whatthey thought they wanted.3. Arthur has already learned why his father thought so. But he tries toput the warning from his father out of his mind. And his son later paysthe price the first price.4. His wife definitely is right. Very soon the son Thomas is killed; andvery shortly after his death Arthur and his wife both die and thistime its because Arthurs wife ignores her own warning.5.This is because he has a premonition: he knows what has happened;and he probably feels, as his father had felt, that he is responsible. Hefeels guilty. He has paid too high a price.Part B: Continuithstory tomordefinite conclusion“Hello, father, mother ,” Arthur heard himself say as a sad smile crossed his face. “So, here weall are, together again.” But this isnt what I wished for. I wanted to bring Thomas back to life,I ignored the warning that you gave me. I ignored your plea that I should never use the bag. I usedit twice, in fact. I am doubly guilty: guilty of Thomas and guilty of my wifes and my own deaths. Here we are all together again yes but this is not what I really wanted.Extending yovocabularyPart A: Differenword forms1. terror5. weary2. temptation6. drifter3. retirement7. insurance4. compensation8. disastrousPart B: Differenmeanings o the same word1. stream2. retiring3. terrific4. pounded5. contents6. shadowingUnit FouPersonala SpacePart A: Comprehendithtext1. b)2. d)3. b)4. c)5. d)Part B: Summarizithe information inteSit as far away from the other person as possibleSitting too close causes feelings of nervousness; sitting too far away maybe insulting1.

Its the area where people feel safe, secure, comfortable, unthreatened.These area surrounds us, like a protective blanket.2. In order to protect ourselves and to discourage any strangers from“invading” our personal space by attempting to make contact with us.3. Because we need to feel that this area is our own; it belongs to us; itspart of our own self.4. When people from different cultural or geographical backgrounds aretogether. (Because the size of the “space” needed within differentcultures differs; some culture can easily accept closer “contact” andtherefore less personal space than others.)5.If attempts to preserve our personal space are ignored by others, and ifwe therefore feel a heightened sense of discomfort, threat or evendanger, we might use force e.g. a loud voice, or actual physical force,to make it very clear that we are defending our territory”.Developing yoskillsPart B: Deducin meaningbarren: empty, unproductive, sterile, nothing can growin vain: unsuccessful, without results, wasted and producing no benefitcrustaceans: crabs, shrimps and lobstersemaciated: very, very thin, having almost no flesh on the bodyelation: extreme happiness, the opposite of “sadness and anxiety”Extending yovocabularyPart B: Clozsentences1.expressive2.indicates/shows3.clustered4.compliment5.gradually/slowly6.release UnitPart A Comprehending thtextLetter1Seriously injured in a traffic accident.
