Hilton Waikoloa Village is the place to go if you would like to have your children enter for Camp Menehune.Looking for the chance to feed birds is an exciting experience.However,an activity that your kids would enjoy most is the communication with dolphins.21.What can visitors do in the Snowbird Resort?A.Visit a water park.B.Enjoy ice skating with their families.C.See many lovely dolphins.D.Taste great beach food.22.Where can visitors go if they want to have their children attend Camp Menehune?A.Hersheypark.B.Old Orchard Beach.C.Hilton Waikoloa Village.D.Snowbird Resort.23.What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?A.To introduce several fun vacation places for families.B.To tell about the traditional relaxing holidays.C.To advertise the best vacation places in winter.D.To show some theme parks in the world.BI’m a real book lover.Every time my friends visit me,my nose is buried in a book.Wherever I go,I always have a book with me.Novels,history books,stories about people,journals and news—I read them all and I’ve learnt a lot,too.For example,many things in life happen for the best even if we don’t like or understand them.Why is reading such an enjoyable pastime for me?I probably first learned about it from my parents.My mother read to me at night in my childhood and bought me picture books.The greatest gift she has given me is a love for reading.And it will be a life-long habit.No one ever asked me why I liked to read.They just saw me and asked,“Oh?Is that for school work?”And I just shook my head,“No.It’s just for fun.”While reading a good book,I can totally forget myself and fly to another world.It’s like exploring through someone’s eyes,which is just as exciting as watching a movie.Reading is also necessary in order to learn about writing,to improve my use of words and phrases and broaden my knowledge.What a pity to see our imagination disappear,for we don’t exercise it often.Reading can even be good for one’s health,I think.Everyone should read sad stories that make us cry and also books with humor that make us laugh out loud!24.Among the gifts my parents have given me,which is the most valuable one?A.A love for reading.B.Picture books.C.Good health.D.A lovable pastime.25.In the fourth paragraph,the author thinks reading can____.A.make his parents happyB.finish his school workC.improve writing and broaden knowledgeD.help him understand some movies26.If we don’t use our imagination often,____.A.it is bad for our healthB.we will soon learn how to writeC.it will help us to have a good restD.it will soon disappear27.What does the passage mainly talk about?A.Why do I have few friends?B.What are my life habits?C.Why do I love reading?D.Why do things happen for the best?CBody Language in the United StatesMost people shake hands and make eye contact when they meet people for the first time.Among very good friends,a woman may give another woman a little hug,and a man may kiss a woman quickly on the cheek.Males don't hug one another,which,however,is changing.Men usually shake hands with the right hand.Sometimes they use the left hand to either cover the handshake or lightly hold the other person’s arm.This shows greater warmth and friendship.Most people wave hello orgood-bye by extending the palm(手掌)facing outward,and twisting the hand at the wrist.Another way is to raise the arm,palm outward,and move the whole arm and hand back and forth.This is important to know because in many other countries,the same movements mean“no”.When people are waiting in a public place,such as the post office,they usually form lines.Some people get angry and complain if someone pushes their way into a line or jumps ahead of other people.Moreover,many women like men to open doors for them.They also like men to give up their seats on public transportation.However,some women do not like this type of behavior.They feel that men and women should be treated in the same way.In the United States,it’s important to make direct eye contact in business and social situations.If you don’t make eye contact,people will probably think that you are bored or not interested.If there is silence in these situations,people usually try to make conversation.Periods of silence make many people uncomfortable.People in the United States usually stand about one arm's length away from each other while talking or standing together.This space is called“the comfort zone”.In the United States,mothers sometimes show that they are angry with children by shaking an index finger(食指)at them.People may show that they like children by patting them on the head.28.It can be inferred from Paragraph1that in the United States_______.A.males begin to hug each other nowB.a man usually kisses a woman for greetingC.people only use right hands to shake handsD.people wave good-bye as people in many other countries do29.Some women don't like to be offered a seat by men because________.A.they think sitting is harmful for healthB.they prefer to stand rather than sitC.they like to be treated equallyD.they don't need men's favor30.The third paragraph is mainly about________.A.body language in public placesB.impolite body languageC.the comfort zoneD.body language in business and social life31.In the United States,a mother sometimes shakes an index finger at her kids to show_______.A.boredomB.angerC.loveD.satisfactionDIn the fall of1985,I was a bright-eyed girl going to Howard University,aiming at a law career and dreaming of sitting on a Supreme Court bench somewhere.Twenty-one years later I am still a bright-eyed dreamer and one with quite a different story to tell.My grandma,an amazing woman,graduated from college at the age of65.She was the first in our family to reach that goal.But one year after I started college,she developed cancer.I made the choice to leave college to care for her.It meant that school and my personal dream would have to wait.Then I got married with another dream:building my family with a mix of adopted(收养)and biological children.In1999,we adopted our first son.To put eyes on him was wonderful—and very emotional.A year later came our second adopted boy then followed son No.3,in2003,I gave birth to another boy.You can imagine how fully occupied I became,raising four boys under the age of8.Our home was a complete zoo—a joyous zoo.Not surprising,I never did make it back to college full-time.But I never gave up on the dream either.I had only one choice:to find a way.That meant taking as few as one class each term.The hardest part was feeling sorry about the time I spent away from the boys.They often wanted me to stay home with them.There certainly were times I wanted to give up,but I knew I should set an example for them to follow through the rest of their lives.In2007,I graduated from the University of North Carolina.It took me over21years to get my college degree!I am not special,just single-minded.It always struck me that when you are looking at a big challenge from the outside it looks huge,but when you are in the middle of it,it just seems normal. Everything you want won't arrive in your life on one day.It's a process(过程).Remember:little steps add up to big dreams.32.When the author went to Howard University,her dream was to be________.A a judgeB a teacherC a writerD a doctor33.Why did the author give up school in her second year of college?A.She wanted to study by herself.B.She fell in love and got married.C.She suffered from a serious illness.D.She decided to look after her grandma.34.What can we learn about the author from Paragraphs4and5?A.She was busy yet happy with her family life.B.She ignored her sorry feeling for her sons.C.She wanted to remain a full-time housewife.D.She was too confused to make a correct choice.35.What does the author mostly want to tell us in the last paragraph?A.Failure is the mother of success.B.Little by little,one goes far.C.Every coin has two sides.D.Well begun,half done.第二节七选五(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

When you do, learning bursts right open," says Evelyn Vuko, a teacher who writes an education column (专栏) called "Teacher Says" for The Washington Post newspaper.In fact, kids who get along with their teachers not only learn more, but they're also more comfortable asking questions and getting extra help.This makes it easier to understand new material and do the best on tests. When you get along with a teacher, he or she can be someone to turn to when you have problems, such as problems with learning, school issues (问题) , or bullying(恃强欺弱的行为).In every school, kids will say certain teachers are tough. In fact, in most cases, your teacher wants to help you. And a teacher who is called tough may be someone who feels strongly about getting his or her job done and teaching you what you are supposed to learn.6.In the passage, the author mainly talks about .A.how to get along well with teachersB.the importance of a good relationship with teachersC.how much the students are expected to get along with teachersD.how to make the time in the classroom not pleasant7."Learning bursts right open" in the third paragraph really means .A.learning becomes easier for you at onceB.you find difficulty to learnC. there 'll be more problems with learningD.there 'll be no way of learning8.It is good to get along with your teacher for the following reasons EXCEPT that .A.it makes the time you spend in the classroom more pleasantB.it's smart to learn how to relate to the different types of people you'll meet.C.you're more comfortable asking questions and getting extra helpD.you can get more presents from the teacher9.If a teacher is tough, he or she is probably .A.cruel and criticalB.strict but hard-workingC.kind and gentleD.serious but honest10.Evelyn Vuko’ s education column (专栏) is called_____A. learning bursts right openB.The Washington Post newspaper.C . education column D."Teacher Says"CA year ago, I paid no attention to English idioms（习语、惯用语）, though my teacher emphasized the importance again and again. But soon, the importance of English idioms was shown in an amusing experience.One day, I happened to meet an Englishman on the road, and soon we began to talk. As I was talking about how I was studying English, the foreigner seemed to be astonished, gently shaking his head, shrugging his shoulders, saying, “You don’t say!” “You don’t say!” I was puzzled. I thought, perhaps this is not an appropriate(适合的，恰当的) topic. “Well, I’d better change the topic.” So I said to him, “Well, shall we talk about the Great Wall? By the way, have you ever been there?” “Certainly, everyone back home will laugh at me if I leave China without seeing it. It is magnificent(雄伟的,壮观的).” He was deep in thought when I began to talk like a tourist guide, “The Great Wall is one of the wonders in the world. We are very proud of it.” Soon I was interrupted again by his order, “You don’t say!” I couldn’t help asking, “Why do you ask me not to talk about it?” “Well, I didn’t ask you to do so,” he answered, greatly surprised. I said, “Didn’t you say you don’t say?” Hearing this, the Englishman laughed to tears. He began to explain, “You don’t say’ actually means ‘really’. It is an expression of surprise. Perhaps you don’t pay attention to English idioms.” Only then did I realize I had made a fool of myself. Since then, I have been more careful with idiomatic expressions.11.A year ago, I paid no attention to English idioms because_______.A. English idioms were too difficult to masterB.

Throughout the high profile(引人注目)visit led by our county education officer, Eric Wood, our group was made to feel very wele and attracted a great deal of interest.

Consequently, there has been a growing interest in natural foods: foods which do not contain chemical additives and which have not been affected by chemical fertilizers, widely used in farming to- day.Natural foods, for example, vegetables, fruits and grains which have been grown in soil that is rich in organic matter. In simple terms, this means that the soil has been nourished by unused vegetable matter, which provides it with essential vitamins and minerals. This in itself is a natural process pared with the use of chemicals and fertilizers, the main purpose of which is to increase the amount—but not the quality—of foods grown in mercial farming areas.Natural foods also include animals which have been allowed to feed and move freely in healthy pastures. pare this with what happens in the mass production of poultry: there are battery farms, for ex- ample, where thousands of chickens live crowded together inone building and are fed on food which is little better than rubbish. Chickens kept in this way are not only tasteless as food; they also produce eggs which lack important vitamins. There are other aspects of healthy eating which are now receiving increasing attention from experts on diet. Take, for example, the question of sugar, this is actually a non-essential food! Although a natural alternative, such as honey, can be used to sweeten food if this is necessary, we can in fact do without it. It is not that sugar is harmful in itself. But it does seem to be an additive: the quantity we use has grown steadily over the last two centuries and in Britain today each person consumes an average of 200 pounds a year! Yet all it does is provide us with energy, in the form. of calories. There are no vitamins in it, no minerals and no fibre.It is significant that nowadays fibre is considered to be an important part of a healthy diet. In white bread, for example, the fibre has been removed. But it is present in unrefined flour and of course in vegetable. It is interesting to note that in countries where the national diet contains large quantities of unrefined flour and vegetable, certain diseases are paratively rare. Hence the emphasis placed on the eating of wholemeal bread and more vegetables by modern experts on healthy eating.61..Recently, some people are interested in natural foods because ______.A．these foods are fresh and sweetB．they don't like the processed foodsC．they want to change their eating habitsD．these foods contain more vitamins, minerals and fiber etc.62. According to the passage,to use chemicals and fertilizers means ___.A. to increase the amount of foodsB. to increase the quality of foodsC. to increase the amount and quality of foodsD. to increase essential vitamins and minerals63.It can be inferred from the passage that ____.A. People will no longer eat those foods containing chemical additivesB. Farmers will not necessarily use fertilizers to promote productionC. Natural foods will find a good market in the futureD. Certain disease will never befall people who eat natural foods64. What can we learn from the passage?A. Chickens live crowed together in one building lay more eggs.B. Natural foods refer to the food produced in the fields.C. Fewer diseases are caused by natural foods.D. Sugar seems to be an additive that is necessary for human heath65. The best title for this passage is ____.A.Eating Habits Are StableB. New Trend in Diet-natural FoodsC. Natural Foods and Chemical Additives.D. How to Go on a DietCLiving and dealing with kids can be a tough job these days, but living and dealing with parents can be even tougher.If I have learned anything in my 16 years, it is that munication is very important, both when you disagree and when you get along. With any relationship, you need to let other person know how you are feeling. If you are not able to municate, you drift apart. When you are mad at your parents, or anyone else, not talking to them doesn’t solve anything.munication begins with the concerns of another. It means that you can’t just e home from school, go up to your room and ignore everyone. Even if you just say “Hi”, and see how their day was for five minutes, it is better than nothing.If you looked up the word “munication” in a dictionary, it would say “the exchange of ideas, the conveyance of information, correspondence, means of munication: a letter or a message”. To maintain a good relationship, you must keep munication strong. Let people know how you feel, even if it’s just by writing a note.When dealing with parents, you always have to make them feel good about how they are doing as a parent. If you are trying to make them see something as you see it, tell them that you’ll listen to what they have to say, but ask them politely to listen to you. Yelling or walking away only makes the situation worse.This is an example: one night, Sophie went to a street party with her friends. She knew she had to be home by midnight after the fireworks, but she didn’t feel she could just ask to go home. That would be rude. After all, they had been nice enough to take her along with them. Needless to say, she was late getting home. Her parents were mad at first, not when Sophie explained why she was late, they weren’t as mad and let the incident go. munication is the key factor here. If Sophie’s parents had not been willing to listen, Sophie would have been in a lot of trouble.munication isn’t a one-way deal: it goes both ways. Just remember: if you get into a situation like Sophie’s, telling the other person how you feel-listening is the key factor to munication.66. In the writer’s view, dealing with parents is __________ than with children.A. more difficultB. easierC. more uninterestingD. more interesting67. The main idea of the second paragraph is __________.A. the importance of friendshipB. to make your feeling known to othersC. the importance of municationD. the disagreement between generations68. When parents and children are in munication, the key to a happy relationship is that__________.A. children should always obey their parentsB. they should be equalC. parents play the leading partD. both make the opposite know their feelings69. The example in this passage proves that ___________.A. Sophie’s parents are willing to listen to herB. Sophie is very polite to her parentsC. Sophie did well in explaining her being lateD. munication is the solution(解决办法) to misunderstanding70. All the following statements are correct except “_______”.A. If you don’t agree with others, you’d better let th em knowB. It is better to say “Hi” to others than say nothingC. If you are not able to municate, walk awayD. munication is a two-way dealPart IV Writing (45 marks)Section A (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passageWrite NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.Laughter is a key ponent of a happy life, and it has powerful physical and mental benefits. No matter what you’re facing, you can learn to laugh and benefi t from it.One of the many benefits of laughter and a sense of humor is that they protect you against the negatives of life. Researches show that people who use humor to fight stress feel less lonely and more positive about themselves.Although we can’t say that a certain number of laughs every day will keep the doctor away, studies show that people who laugh a lot tend to be in good health. And laughter is one of the most monly used therapies (疗法) among cancer patients.Laughter could be healthy for your heart, too. Some research shows that when you laugh, there is an increase in oxygen-rich blood flow in your body, possibly due to the release of endorphins (内啡肽), which create a chemical rush that fights negative feelings and stress. Activities that increase endorphins include a good workout and listening to music you love.Love the benefits of laughter but don’t feel like laughing? Sometimes you have to make an effort to laugh. If you’re facing tough times, it may help to learn techniques to bring the benefits of laughter into your life. You can try the old remendations: Read a funny book, or watch a movie that is funny.Spend time with an amusing friend.Look on the light side: Go to places that help you remember good times that have made you laugh in the past.Or you can join the “laughter movement” to learn about the benefits of laughter while fighting stress.Title: The benefits of 71 .______Benefits◆Mental benefits* 72.______ you against the negatives of your life* Making you feel less lonely and more 73. ______ about yourself◆ 74.______benefits* Helping to lead a healthy life* Being monly used to treat 75. ______* 76. ______ the oxygen-rich blood flow in your bodyRemendations to bring laughter 77.______* Read a funny book, or watch 78._______.* Spend time with 79.______.* Look on the 80. ______ — go to places that have made you laugh* Join the “laughter movement” while fighting stressConclusion.Laughter is a key ponent of a happy life, and it has powerful benefits.Section B (10 mark.)Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.A drunk driver speeding along in his SUV on the freeway last night killed three of four people in a car, which had slowed down because of the construction work on the freeway. Four lanes were merged (合并) into two. The Department of Transportation crew was making repairs to the highway. Hundreds of bright orange traffic cones (锥标) guided the merger. Four heavy duty trucks were parked in the emergency lanes. Their brightly glowing signs said, “Slow. Be prepared to stop. Construction ahead.”Missing all of these warnings, the SUV’s driver, going at least 50 mph, knocked into the car. The car driver, a puter programmer, was a recent immigrant to America. In the passenger seat was his wife, and in the back seat were his 6-year-old daughter and his 8-year-old son. It was 9 p.m. The family was going to a restaurant to celebrate the little girl’s birthday. They never knew what hit them.The collision caused the car to explode in flames. Somehow, the car driver managed to get out of the car seconds after the explosion. Third-degree burn covered much of his body. His chances for survival are slim. His life, as he knew it, is over. His loved ones were burned beyond recognition.The 28-year-old driver of the SUV was not only unhurt, but was able to escape from his SUV. He claimed that his brakes had failed. The police said that he had four convictions (定罪) for driving under the influence in the past 10 years.81. What does the car driver do?

Also,relations between my parents became difficult.My mother got into trouble and didn’t know how to deal with it.My brother thought of a good idea to solve the problem.He bought her a new smart phone and taught her how to use WeChat(微信).My mother’s life changed a lot from then on.No matter where she went and whatever she did,she always used it.She took photos with her new smart phone and always shared her photos in her friend circle to express how happy she was.As a result,she often did something by mistake.She often forgot to turn off the gas and the food she was cooking usually got burnt.My father tried to stop her,but it didn’t work.This afternoon,my mother prepared to make dumplings for dinner.She took a lot of pictures in order to post them into her friend circle.After dinner,we took out our smart phones and waited for the photos she had taken.To our surprise,we didn’t find any pictures of her dumplings.At last,my father couldn’t help asking her,“Why don’t you share your delicious dumplings in your friend circle today?My mother looked embarrassed and said,“_________”“Oh,my God!I have to spend more money buying a new one!”cried my brother.6.The underlined words"had a chip on her shoulder"most probably mean________.A.had a pain in her shoulderB.got angry easilyC.liked eating potato chips7.My brother bought a smart phone for my mother because_____.A.my mother liked taking photos and sharing them in her friend circleB.my father retired two months agoC.my brother wanted to help my mother out of trouble8.After my mother had a smart phone,__________.A.she liked it very much and used it all the timeB.she often quarreled with my brother and me without any reasonC.she was bored and didn’t know what to do9.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.My mother stopped my father from taking picture of foodB.My mother often forgot turning off the gas after she had a smart phoneC.After dinner,we were surprised to find no pictures of dumplings in my mother’s friendcircle.10.“_______”can be the missing sentence in the passage.A.The dumplings were not deliciousB.My smart phone was boiled in the potC.I have already posted the pictures in the friend circleCClothes Donation(捐赠)BoxHave you ever put your old clothes into the donation box in your neighborhood?If not,you can do it right now because the clothes donation is becoming a trend(趋势)in Urumqi.“From time to time,my mother clears out the clothes which I no longer wear.You know, we teenagers are growing fast.I think it’s a good way to help others.”Lin Tao,a junior student says.“I often pick out some of my clothes which are out of style after going shopping. Then I’ll put them into the donation box.”Miss Li,a pretty young lady says.“That seems like a good idea.Some clothes in the box are quite new.People can either wear them or use them to make things such as handbags and pencil cases.”Mrs.Wang,an old woman says,“Sometimes I also look through the box for some nice clothes.”However,there are some problems along with the popularity of clothes donation. Recently,a UTV reporter from Focus on the City has made a survey.Here are the results:*The box is full of clothes in a short time.There is no more room for people to give away clothes.*Some people sell the clothes in the donation box for making money instead of wearing them.*Some communities set the box in unsuitable places.So there are few clothes in it.*Many clothes are too old and shabby(破烂的).“What’s worse,”one of the staff in a community added,“We quite often see people throw rubbish into the box when they pass by.We’ve tried to stop them several times but failed.It has been the most serious problem since we set the box.”In order to make the donation box work in an efficient(有效的)way,our government is taking action.Clothes donation will be better-organized and it’ll bemore convenient for people in need to take the clothes away.11.Miss Li gives away her clothes because.A.her clothes are out of styleB.her mother clears out her clothesC.she is growing too fastD.she wants to make something12.The reporter from UTV has collected.A.4problemsB.5problemsC.6problemsD.7problems13.All the problems about the donation box are included EXCEPT.A.there's no more room for people to donate clothesB.people choose unsuitable places to set the boxC.sometimes the box is broken by someoneD.the clothes in the box are too old and shabby14.The underlined word“them”in Paragraph4means.A.the clothes donation boxesB.the old peopleC.handbags and pencil casesD.some clothes in the box15.We can infer(推断)from the passage that.A.the clothes donation will be better-organized to help donators and people in needB.the clothes donation becomes less popular than before because of serious problemsC.the clothes donation can prevent some girls from wearing clothes that are out of styleD.the clothes donation gives the traders a good idea to sell old clothes for making money第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

AThe summer holidays are coming up. It's time to fill the bookshelves with quality literature for the kids. Here are some great books.Josephine Wants to Dance by Jackie FrenchPrice: A$14.99 (for ages 4+)Josephine is a kangaroo who loves to dance. Her little brother, Joey, tells her that kangaroos don't dance; they jump. But Josephine continues to point her toes and leap through the air. When a ballet group comes to town and the lead ballerina (芭蕾舞演员) is injured, Josephine is called upon to help save the day. Can she do it, and, more importantly, does it matter that she's a kangaroo?House of Secrets by Chris ColumbusPrice: A$19.99 (for ages 9+)The Walker kids —Caroline, Brendan and Nell—may have saved the world, but they can' t save their home and must leave Kristoff House. Things can't get any worse, but then it turns out that the Wind Witch is still alive and planning an attack. T o defeat her. the Walkers must return to the book world. The Walkersalways help each other, but they must go it alone in their most important mission yet. And this time, if they fail, there's no chance of coming back.Edge of Extinction Book 1 by Laura MartinPrice: AS 16.00 (for ages 9+)If you like The Land of the Dinosaurs. You will love this book. Two hundred years ago, the first dinosaur was successfully cloned (克隆). Soon after, humans realized they'd made a big mistake. Thirteen-year-old Sky Mundy's father suddenlydisappeared five years ago. Along with her best friend，Shawn，she steps out into the world above --a world of dinosaurs --to look for him. Then she learns that everything she's been taught has been a lie.21．Which book will you choose if your child is five years old?A. House of Secrets.B. Josephine Wants to Dance.C. The Land of the Dinosaurs.D. Edge of Extinction Book 1. 22．What can we learn about the Walker kids from the text?A. They live in a secret house.B. They hate each other.C. They are afraid of the Wind Witch.D. They have to carry out the task alone. 23．The text is especially helpful for those who .A. are interested in raising animalsB. want to make friends during the holidaysC. plan to educate their children during the holidaysD. want to explore an unknown world during the holidaysBChristmas Island red crabs（螃蟹）are famous throughoutAustralia and the world for their red color and their amazing annual migration to the sea. Millions of crabs become rivers of red as they move from the island’s inland rainforests to the ocean to lay eggs.During migration, red crabs climb over and around obstacles(障碍物) in their way, following the same migration paths every year. The round-trip journey can last up to 60 days, and begins at the start of the wet season, usually October or November in that part of the world. Red crabs must keep their bodies wet, so they wait for the rainy season to provide conditions that are ideal for the difficult journey. The main migration activity takes place in the early morning and late afternoon, when it’s cooler and there’s more shade.The red crabs’ breeding season is linked to the phase s of the moon. The female red crabs release their eggs into the ocean at the turn of the high tide during the last quarter of the moon, which ensures the lowest sea level for the longest period of time. A single female can lay up to 100,00 eggs. The eggs hatch(孵化) on contact with the water.Most of the millions of hatchlings are eaten by fish and other sea creatures. After about a month, surviving ones transform into young red crabs. The baby red crabs trek inland, a journey that takes about nine days, where they disappear to live among rocky outcrops and in underground holes.In some years, no baby red crabs appear from the ocean. But a few very successful years---just one or two every ten years or so---are enough to maintain the Christmas Island red crab population, about 120 million.24.We can infer that before the rainy season, red crabs .A. don’t look for a mate.B. don’t stay at one place for long.C. don’t go to the inland rainforests.D. don’t migrate to the sea.25.What may red crabs refer to when t hey’re deciding whether to lay eggs or not?A.

Reduce.B. Keep.C. Check.D. Replace.CIn 1951, a British explorer named Eric Shipton looking for an alternative route up Mt. Everest found a footprint that appeared to be human-like. He took a picture, and the mystery(神秘) of the Yeti—a Sherpa word for "wild man"—cast a spell over the world. Daniel Taylor, author of Yeti: The Ecology of a Mystery, has been searching for signs of this "Abominable Snowman" in the high Himalayas since he was a child.Talking from his home in West Virginia, Taylor explains what he thinks madethat human-like footprint, how his search eventually led to the creation of a national park, and why, in an age where we have become disconnected from nature, we have a deep need to believe in mysteries.The key evidence for the existence of the Yeti was the photo of a footprint taken by British explorer Eric Shipton in 1951.The photograph was taken on the Menlung Glacier, west of Mount Everest, on the Nepal-Tibet border. Shipton and Michael Ward were searching for an alternative Everest route when they came across the prints. Shipton was one of the most highly respected Everest explorers, so if he is bringing back a print, it is a real print. Nobody ever questioned that. But what is it?What was attractive about the prints was that they're really sharp. The snow was hard so the photo looks like a sort of plaster(石膏). The second feature was that the prints looked like a human footprint, but with a thumb. So, you get this primate-like feeling but human-like at the same time. Its enormous size—13 inches—also suggests a large human, a King Kong type of image!Many expeditions(探险队) were sent out in search of the Yeti. We expect them to give us a brief timeline.28. Why did Eric Shipton go to Mt. Everest?A. To explore it.B. To take photos.C .To work as a guide. D. To look for the Yeti.29. What can we know about Daniel Taylor?A. He took a photo of the human-like footprint.B. He is devoted to the exploration of Mt. Everest.C. He has lost confidence in the search for the Yeti.D. He thinks people should have belief in mysteries.30. Which word can be used to describe the Yeti according to the text?A. SharpB. CreativeC. HugeD. Fierce.31. What is the author's attitude toward the search for the Yeti?A. He thinks nothing of it.B. He thinks it is a waste of time.C. He is eager to know the result.D. He doubts the effort of explorers.DA Japanese company, Next Technology, has created a robot dog that can tell you how bad your feet smell, by using a powerful sensor fixed in its nose. If your feet don't have a bad smell, Hana-chan will happily wag its tail, if it's exposed to feet that are mildly smelly, it'll start to bark, and if they give off an extremely bad smell, it'll just fall over like the smell caused it to faint (昏倒).Foot odor (脚臭) is a big deal in Japan, where it's customary for people to take off their shoes whenever they enter someone's home. In fact, exposing others to bodily odors can be considered annoyance in Japan. Some of the most brilliant minds in the country's tech industry have been trying to solve this problem. Last year, Thanko started selling armpit (腋窝) fans designed to keep people's armpits nice and dry. Now, we have Hana-chan.The robot dog has a special sensor for a nose, and can tell you if your feet smell just by sniffing them for a few seconds. According to some media reports, Hana-chan can help solve theproblem of extremely smelly feet by spraying them with air freshener, but it's unclear whether this feature comes built-in, or if you'll have to pay extra for it.According to researchers at Next Technology, the idea for Hana-chan was inspired by a person who desperately wanted some way to know if his feet smelled. He told us his daughter had said his feet were smelly," Next T echnology's Kimika Tsuji said. "But he didn't want to know how bad the odor was because he would feel hurt. That's why we developed this cute robot."You may be able to make Hana-chan faint with your smelly feet, but it can have the same effect on budget-conscious people. NextTechnology plans to start selling the feet-smelling robot dog next May.32. Under what condition will Hana-chan bark?A. When its nose is fixed with a sensor.B. When it detects mildly smelly feet.C. When it wags its tail.D. When something is wrong with its nose.33. Why is foot odor paid great attention to in Japan?A. Because Japanese have strong bodily odors.B. Because its tech industry is highly developed.C. Because Japanese are especially considerate of others.D. Because Japanese are usually barefooted at others' home.34.What can be inferred about Hana-chan from the text?A. Its idea comes from Kimika Tsuji.B. It's already available in the market.C. It can recognize foot odor quickly.D. It has a built-in air freshener sprayer.35. What does the underlined part in the last paragraph imply?A. Hana-chan is no cheap thing.B. People should mind their smelly feet.C. People should be careful about their budget.D. Hana-chan makes people loosen their budget.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Millions of crabs become rivers of red as they move from the island’s inland rainforests to the ocean to lay eggs.During migration, red crabs climb over and around obstacles(障碍物) in their way, following the same migration paths every year. The round-trip journey can last up to 60 days, and begins at the start of the wet season, usually October or November in that part of the world. Red crabs must keep their bodies wet, so they wait for the rainy season to provide conditions that are ideal for the difficult journey. The main migration activity takes place in the early morning and late afternoon, when it’s cooler and there’s more shade.The red crabs’ breeding season is linked to the phases of the moon. The female red crabs release their eggs into the ocean at the turn of the high tide during the last quarter of the moon, which ensures the lowest sea level for the longest period oftime. A single female can lay up to 100,00 eggs. The eggs hatch(孵化) on contact with the water.Most of the millions of hatchlings are eaten by fish and other sea creatures. After about a month, surviving ones transform into young red crabs. The baby red crabs trek inland, a journey that takes about nine days, where they disappear to live among rocky outcrops and in underground holes.In some years, no baby red crabs appear from the ocean. But a few very successful years---just one or two every ten years or so---are enough to maintain the Christmas Island red crab population, about 120 million.24.We can infer that before the rainy season, red crabs .A. don’t look for a mate.B. don’t stay at one place for long.C. don’t go to the inland rainforests.D. don’t migrate to the sea.25.What may red crabs refer to when they’re deciding whether to lay eggs or not?A.
