Many people from overseas believe that it rains a lot in London, but in fact its rainfall is similar to that in other European cities. Rainfall is evenly (平均地) spread during the year, so even in summer a visitor is likely to experience some weather. In spring and autumn there are likely to be some heavy showers, often followed by sunshine. In winter the rain is usually lighter but may for longer.
In the summer, if there are a few days of particularly hot weather, these are often
by a thunderstorm. It is because the weather can change very quickly that many British people carry a(an)umbrella with them throughout the year, even when it appears to be a
day.
The UK’s weather is strongly influenced by the sea which surrounds Britain and Ireland. The sea warms up and more slowly than land, keeping winters relatively warm but also making the summers cooler.
You may be wise to bring warm to wear in the evenings even during the summer months. Very hot days (over 30 C) are not common, so air conditioning is not as widespread as in warmer countries.
During the winter people will often wear several different layers (层) of clothing. This allows them to keep warm when walking outside, but to comfortable when inside a heated building. A. dry B. wet C. hot
A. last B. break C. have
A. received B. accepted C. followed
A. fine B. bad C. rainy
A. takes off B. rises up C. cools down`
A. something B. anything C. nothing
A. realize B. remind C. remain

What do we do when we go camping? First, we work out a plan. We take food, clothing, a knife, and things for cooking and eating. We take things to keep us away from insects (昆虫)and the sun.
Then we put everything into the car and we drive to the woods(森林). We look for a place for campers and we look for a good place for our tent(帐篷). The place should have a lot of moving air. This will keep some insects away. High land with water on both sides of it is good. Then we put up our tent. We put everything into the tent, and we are ready for fun. We can swim in the lake, walk in the woods, climb a mountain, row a boat, or go fishing.
In the evening we come back to the tent, we build a big fire(火), because it can keep the insects away. We sit around the fire and talk. We may tell interesting stories or we may sing songs.
At night we lie down on the grass. We can look up at the stars. It is a busy day, so we try to go to sleep early.
Everything is dark. Everything is quiet. We hope we won’t hear music from the radio in the next tent. We hope it won’t rain.Before going to camp we should first ________ .

Can you swim? Do you like swimming? Yes? Well, how can you learn to swim? I think the best way is to go into the water and learn. I’m afraid you’ll never learn to swim just by reading books about swimming or looking at others swimming. It’s the same with the English study. We must practice, practice and practice.
Listening and speaking are very important for beginners. The children in English-speaking countries first listen to others. Then they try to imitate and speak. We can listen to English programs on radio. You may just understand a few words. It doesn’t matter. Just be relaxed, try to catch every word. Somebody may be a good listener. But he dare not speak. He’s afraid of making mistakes. You know we sometimes make mistakes when we speak Chinese. Don’t be afraid. We must be brave. If you really want to learn English well, you must try to speak with everyone as long as he knows English. Whether you know him or not is not important, when there’s nobody to talk with, you can talk to yourself in English. It’s interesting and also a good way to practice your spoken English. Remember, the more you speak, the fewer mistakes you’ll make.
Reading and writing are more important for senior school students. First we must choose the books we’re interested in. A lot of reading will improve your language sense. This is the most important.
Keep writing English diaries. We can also write English articles. You may even post them to English magazines. Don’t be afraid of failure. Failure is the mother of success.
Easier said than done. Well, let’s do more practice from now on. I’m sure you’ll learn English well in this way.You can learn to swim by_______.
A.reading books about it |
B.looking at others swimming |
C.having lessons on it |
D.going into the river and learning |
We should learn English by _______.
A.listening and speaking | B.reading and writing |
C.both A and B | D.swimming |
What will you do with mistakes when you speak?
A.Don’t make mistakes. |
B.Study hard |
C.Try not to speak English |
D.Don’t be afraid. |
What’s more important for senior school students?
A.listening | B.speaking |
C.reading and writing | D.learning |
We can listen to English ______, according to the passage.
A.by train | B.on the radio |
C.every minute | D.now and then |
