新余市2013届高三第二次模拟考试英语试题及答案(11)

　　M： A lot cheaper than buying fast food. Why don’t we form a healthy food club？ W： Great idea.

　　（Text 7）

　　W： Hi， Peter. What’s up？ You look upset.

　　M： We’re planning a trip through the western states and want to take our dog with us. We have trouble finding a hotel that allows dogs， so we’ll probably have to leave the dog at our neighbor’s house.

　　W： I saw a program on TV that said there were more and more pet-friendly hotels now. If a hotel advertises as pet-friendly， it means you can bring your dog.

　　M： I don’t think my father knows about that. Where can we find more information？

　　W： Peter， everything can be found on the Internet. M： Oh， yeah！ I’ll do it right away.

　　M： Hi， I’m Mike. I just moved in next door.

　　W： Oh， hi. Come on in. I’m Barbara. Would you like something to drink？

　　M： Thanks. Some tea would be nice. I really like your tea set. Where did you get it？

　　W： Oh， there’s a supermarket not far from her. I bought it on sale. But there is also a tea house around the corner.

　　M： It’s a nice neighborhood here.

　　W： Yeah. You can get to the bus and the underground train stations within ten minutes’ walk. There’s a bookstore， a gym and many restaurants along the street.

　　M： There’s a gym nearby？ I really want to go to gym as soon as possible.

　　W： Well， if you want， we can go together sometime. Actually I was thinking of going this afternoon， if you like， you can join me. M： That would be wonderful.

　　W： Hello， Tom. How are you finding teaching here？

　　M： I get the feeling that somehow the school’s successful. The buildings and furniture are so old， yet amazingly， the students seem happy. These days you can’t compete unless you can really provide the best. That’s the trouble with these small family-owned schools. So many are taken over by large companies. They seem to offer a whole range of subjects， not just English and math.

　　W： I think that’s good， because they can bring together a mixture of teachers of different subjects. A geography teacher， say， might give you fresh ideas that you can apply in teaching English or math.

　　M： I’ve always found it a real eye-opener talking to other English teachers， because people’s methods of teaching the same subject can vary so much. Actually I sometimes feel that about classes. I feel it’s my role as the teacher to make sure we get on all right， but I can’t always do it.

　　W： Each class develops its own culture， and you may not be able to do anything about it. You just have to accept that you don’t get on with every class. I couldn’t get on with every class either.
