AAs the world becomes more connected,the number of people living outside their home country is on the rise.But what makes expats（移民）happy in their new hometown?Mal taWarm weather and proximity to Europe are the big draws for this Mediterranean nation.The climate leads to a slower pace of life,so prospective residents should get ready to relax instead of rush.The country has plenty of big cultural events to offer,such as the International Arts Festival and the Valletta Film Festival.EcuadorFriendly people,affordable healthcare and tasty,cheap food are main reasons as to why expats love living in Ecuador.Plus,the country’s diverse cities give expats a multitud e of options.The people who come to retire in Ecuador often look for a lower cost of living,so the coastline,the southern part of Ecuador and Ambato will fit this type of expat.In the caseof business-minded or outgoing expats, Quito, Guayaquil and Cuenca are the cities to live in.MexicoMuch like Malta,Mexico draws many expats initially for its warm weather,but welcoming locals and a culture rich in traditions and food keeps residents happy over the long haul.New ZealandThe country ’s stunning natural beauty draws people from across the world,and with easy access to both cities and beaches,expats usually adopt the local relaxed lifestyle.The trade-off for the laidback lifestyle can be a relatively lower salary compared to the cost of goods (especially for housing in bigger cities like Auckland and for fresh produce）.21.What kind of people mostly like to live in Ambato?A.Young people.B.Old people.C.Business people.D.Friendly people.22.Which countries are similar in the weather?A.Malta and Ecuador.B.Malta and Mexico.C.Mexico and New Zealand.D.Ecuador and New Zealand.23.People living New Zealand can .A.buy cheap fresh produceB.earn a high salaryC.enjoy beautiful natural sceneryD.celebrate the Valletta Film FestivalBEach of us fails from time to time.If we are wise,we accept these failures as a necessary part of the learning process.But all too often we convey to our children either by words or by actions that failure is something to be ashamed of.Donnie was my youngest third-grader.His fear of failure kept him from classroom games that other children played excitedly.He seldom answered questions-he might be wrong.He seldom finished his work because he repeatedly checked with me to be sure he hadn’t made a mistake.I tried my best to build his self-confidence.But nothing changed until midterm,when Mary Anne,a student teacher,was assigned to our classroom.She was young and pretty,and sheloved children.My pupils,Donnie included, adored her.But even enthusiastic,loving Mary was baffled by this little boy.Then one morning we were working math problems.Donnie had copied the problems with painstaking neatness and filled in answers for the first row.Pleased with his progress,I left the children with Mary.But when I returned, Donnie was in tears.He’d missed the third problem.Mary looked at me in despair.Suddenly her face brightened.From the desk we shared, she got a canister（小筒）filled with pencils.“Look,Donnie,” she said,“I’ve got something to show you.” She removed the pencils and placed them on his desk.“See these pencils,Donnie?” she continued.“They belong to Mrs.Lindstrom and me.See how the erasers are worn? That’s because we make mistakes too.Lots of them.But we erase the mistakes and try again.That’s what you must learn to do,too.”She kissed him and continued: “I’ll leave one of these pencils on your desk so you’ll remember that everybody makes mistakes,even teachers.” Donnie looked up with love in his eyes and just a slight of a smile.The pencil became Donnie’s prized possession.That,together with Mary Anne’s frequent encouragement and praise for even Donnie’s small successes,gradually persuaded him that it’s all right to make mistakes—as long as you erase them and try again.24.Why didn’t Donnie play classroom games as other children?A.Because he was afraid to fail.B.Because he spent too much time on his work.C.Because he had made too many mistakes.D.Because he couldn’t work together with his classmates.25.Which of the following can replace the underlined word “baffled” in Paragraph 3?A.Encouraged.B.Puzzled.C.Praised.D.Disliked.26.The reason why Donnie cherished the pencil left by Marry Anne may be that .A.it was th e first present from Many AnneB.he could use it to erase the mistakes he had madeC.it was a reminder of the possibility that everyone makes mistakesD.it was the prize for his successes27.Which of the following statements can best describe the main theme of the passage?A.Failure is the mother of success.B.Practice makes perfect.C.Where there is a will,there is a way.D.No pain,no gain.CAt the beginning of the 20th century a wealtl1of writers combined creative writing with statements of national identity.China’s Lu Xun is a familiar example,along with W.B.Yeats.Ireland ’s greatest poet and the founder of the patriotic（爱国的）“Celtic Twilight” cultural movement.A third great literary patriot is the Bengali and Indian poet Rabindranath Tagore (1861 -1941).Tagore renewed Bengali writing,introducing the common people’s language into poetry and writing about the common people too.By showing the value of Bengali literature,he showed the reasons for the independence of India as a nation.It’s no surprise that he strongly supported his country’s independence from the British.Tagore wasn’t just a poet,but also a novelist,a playwright,and an essayist.The range of his talents made him famous not only in India,but across the world.His fame led to invitations to travel; on his journeys a broad he met with other famous figures in the arts, politics and sciences.He was W.B，Yeats’ guest in Ireland and once met Einstein,as well as meeting many world lenders.The inspiration that came from such a varied life fed into his work,giving it an international character.Since it is so varied,it’s difficult to generalize about Tagore’s writing.But it’ s impossible not to notice a strong awareness of loss in it.Take these lines from his poem Go lden Boat,included in a book that won him,in 1913,world literature’s highest honor,the Nobel Prize.Tagore imagines life as a boat which floats on,leaving him,the dead man,on the shore: “All I had achieved was carried o ff on the golden boat--only I was left behind.”28.How are Lu Xun,Yeats and Tagore similar?A.They were all born at the beginning of the 20th century.B.They are all wealthy writers.C.They are all great literary patriots.D.They all won the Nobel Prize.29.What is the second paragraph mainly about?A.Tagore’s writing style.B.Tagore’s life in India.C.Tagore’s interest in Bengali literature.D.Tagore’s support for his country’s independence.30.What attached an international character to Tagore’s work?A.His fame.B.His journeys abroad.C.Other famous figures in the world.D.His varied life.31.By taking lines from the poem Golden Boat,the author means lo prove .A.Tagore’s love for his motherlandB.Tagore’s talents in varie d fieldsC.Tagore’s awareness of loss in his worksD.Tagore’s great achievement in world literatureDHealth is wealth.And to protect their “wealth”,people always try to pin down potential threats before getting hurt.And now they have a new strong enemy to deal with--super­-resistant bacteria.Up to 70 percent of the bacteria in the world are now super -resistant bacteria,untreatable because they are resistant to antibiotics,according to a new report released by the UK government in April.If a drug-resistant infection broke out in Britain,up to 200,000 people would fall victim,said the report.And the problem has spread far beyond the UK.In our bodies,there are some bacteria that are good for our health and others that cause diseases.Antibiotics are used to destroy or slow the growth of harmful bacteria.13ut overuse and misuse of them can encourage bacteria to evolve and develop new ways of overcoming antibiotics,which makes it increasingly difficult for humans to fight diseases.MRSA,one of the best-known bacteria that can resist antibiotics,is estimated to kill around 19,000 people every year in the US,according to Reuters.In China,the use of antibiotics is far higher than in Western countries.According to China Daily,antibiotics make up 70 percent of t he country’s drug production,compared with 30 percent of the drug production of Western countries.Besides drugs,we ca n also take in antibiotic s from products produced on animalfarm,where antibiotics are used to prevent animals from catching diseases.When human eat these animals,the antibiotics in them enter our bodies in turn.“To address the problem,we need to change how we produce and use antibiotics,” said Fukuda,the assistant director –general for health security at the World Health Organization.Since 2012,doctors in China have been required to ask patients to carry out blood tests to make sure that their symptoms are caused by bacterial infections before prescribing antibiotics.Those who are found to be overprescribing antibiotics risk losing their licenses to prescribe drugs.32.What can we learn about super-resistant bacteria?A.They make up more than 70% of the bacteria around the world.B.They cann ot be killed by antibiotics.C.They broke out in Britain in April.D.They kill about 19,000 people every year in the US.33.Why are antibiotics now being resisted by bacteria?A.Because some bacteria are good fo r health.B.Because bacteria cause diseases more difficult for people to fight.C.Because antibiotics slow only the growth of the harmful bacteria.D.Because antibiotics are not used properly.34.What can be inferred from the passage?A.MRSA is one of the most dangerous super-resistant bacteria.B.China produces more antibiotics than western countries.C.Antibiotics enter human’s bodies only t hrough drugs.D.People don’t do anything to solve the problem.35.In China,what measures have been taken to avoid antibiotic resistance?A.Factories have reduced antibiotic production.B.Doctors have been required to prescribe fewer antibiotics.C.Patients with symptoms caused by bacterial infections are asked to carry out blood tests.D.Doctors who overprescribe antibiotics shall be punished.第二节（共3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。
