A Hands-on experience is still attractive to many buyers，although online ordering is popular in the UK today.

．Oxford Street

London is shoppers' paradise（天堂），and most visitors head for Oxford Street. Halfway along is Sel-

fridges，one of the world's first department stores where the architecture and window dressing impress

even before you go in. There are at least four other major stores on this street，plus Europe's largest music

shop. In December the atmosphere is especially festive because of the Christmas lights which are always

lighted by a politician，a great sportsman，or a super star. Kensington High Street

A fashionable area for shopping is Kensington High Street. One of its department stores even

has a，

roof garden-good for relaxing between purchases. There's also an organic food superstore． Borough Market

You can't visit London and not go to a market. One of the oldest and best for food is probably Bor-

ough Market on the south bank of the Thames. Get off the underground at London Bridge and wander

among fresh fish stalls，bakeries，and fruit and vegetable sellers. You can also buy specialist food to take

away，like cheeses，pork pies，mustard and chutney． More places for bargains

Portobello Road on a Saturday is your best choice for jewelry or collector's items．It's a short walk

from the subway station at Notting Hill Gate and you never know what you will find. For clothes，Camden

Market is the place. It gets a little crowded at the weekends，though．Covent Garden offers great experi-

ence for the simple pleasure of looking at jewelry and gifts. 21．Oxford Street becomes special in December for＿．

A ．the wonderful window dressing B．the Europe's largest music shop C ．the lights lit by a famous person D. many bargains to choose from 22．To enjoy food，you can go to＿．

A. Borough Market B. Camden Market C ．Kensington High Street D．Portobello Road 23 ．Where is this passage probably taken from？ A. A science textbook. B. A traveler's journal. C. A trip guide. D. A news report.

B When it comes to the choice of books，I always manage to find a hidden jewel or two，which led to

my journey to Earthsea. Ursula K. Le Guin has her own voice in fantasy literature-that's something I had

to admit as soon as I passed the first page．She doesn't imitate anybody-she is herself. I followed Ged's

adventures and his gradual transformation from a wild and proud kid into a wise，powerful wizard．

A Wizard of Earthsea begins in Ged's own village where he，a kid of 7，learns his first magic from

his aunt. Five years later he starts to learn from Ogion the Wizard. But Ogion teaches him patience-not

magic-so Ged leaves him and sails to the island of Roke to learn the art in a real School of Magic. There

the boy is so proud that he plays with forbidden spells（咒语）-he frees into this world a terrible shadow

horn the land of the dead，leading to the death of Nemmerle，the head of the school. Now Ged must try to

overcome this shadow before it controls him. Finally，Ged guesses its secret and saves the world-and

himself-from a terrible danger. He knows now the patience is indeed the greatest of arts，and names

Ogion his only true master. Ursula K. Le Guin makes every word sing-her language is more poetic than

poetry and more musical than some music．She draws the reader's attention without effort. She's made me

want to try my own hand at fantasy-and I might one day．

24．Tt.,。author considers Ursula K. Le Guin's writing style＿． A. traditional B. ordinary C. special D. serious

25 ．Which of the following causes the tragedy at the School of Magic？ A. Ged's rudeness B．Ged's pride C．Ged's shyness D. Ged's curiosity 26．At the end of the story，Ged feels most grateful to＿＿＿． A. his aunt B. the shadow C. Nemmerle D. Ogion

27 ．What can we learn about the author?

A. She works in a bookstore. B. She got a real jewei recently.

C ．She met Ursula K. Le Guin in Earthsea. D．She may write fantasy stories some day． C “So？”he said．“Er?so what？”“So what do you really want to do？”he asked． My father was a lawyer，and I had always assumed he wanted me to go to law school，and follow his

path through life.“I want to travel，and I want to be a writer.”I replied. This was not the answer he would expect.“Interesting idea，”he said.“I kind of wish I'd done that

when I was your age.”I wailed．

“You have plenty of time．You need to find out what you really enjoy now．Look，it's late. Let's take

the boat out tomorrow morning，just you and me. Maybe we can catch some crabs for dinner，and we can

talk more．”

Early next morning we set off along the coast. We didn't talk much，but enjoyed the sound of the

seagulls and the sight of the coastline and the sea beyond． There was no surf on the coastal waters at that time．“Let's see if we get lucky，”he said，picked up

a mesh basket with a rope attached and threw it into the sea. We waited a while，then my father stood up and said，“Give me a hand with this，”and we pulled up the crab cage onto the deck． The cage was filled with dozens of soft shell crabs.“Why don't they try to escape？” “just watch them for a moment. Look at that one，there！He's trying to climb out，but every time the
