AThe Dead SeaAt 430 meters below sea level, the Dead Sea is Earth'slowest point on land. It is popular for its wonderfulbuoyancy(浮力). The high salt content-more than 34percent - makes swimming more like floating.Now the Dead Sea is actually dying. People are usingwater from the Jordan River, which takes water away from the Dead Sea. Since 1930, its surf area has reduced by almost 40 percent.Venice, ItalyWith waterways instead of streets. This "Floating City" has attracted visitors for centuries. But no visit to Venice is complete without a ride on one of its famous gondolas, human poweredwater taxis. Water creates Venice. But water will alsokill the city.Built on soft earth, Venice has slowly been sinking(下沉) for centuries. Now, with rising sea levels causedby human activities, it's sinking faster. According toUS-based magazine Architectural Digest, the city maydisappear in the next 100 years. Better book yourgondola soon!Great Barrier Reef, AustraliaCovering more than 2,300 kilometers of Australia'snortheast coast, Great Barrier Reef is the world's largest reefecosystem, and an ideal place for scuba divers (水肺潜水者).Thousands of colorful coral (珊瑚) and fish make homes in theblue sea water. It's like a big underwater party!Sadly, the party might be over soon. The reef is dying. Humanactivities are changing the weather.

Great Barrier Reef.BThere is good news for students of vocational (职业的) colleges in China: the government has announced plans to develop modern vocational education. Premier Li Kegiang said the government should speed up the development of modern vocational education to meet the need for skilled workers and technicians (技术人员) in the job market. High school graduates and workers with no special training are encouraged to study in higher vocational colleges. Li said that the number of the new students in higher vocational colleges in China should go up by I million this year. This is the first time the central government has a clear plan.This comes after the news of the large shortfall (不足) in highly skilled technicians, although China has millions of technical workers. China is expected to face a shortfall of 3million skilled workers who can operate the newest machines by 2020. The shortfall will grow to 4.5 million by 2025. Also, vocational education is unsatisfactory (不令人满意的), although there are many vocational colleges in China. In some vocational colleges, the education methods and courses cannot meet the need of upgrading (升级), manufacturing (制造业). As can be seen from the job market, some companies still can't find highly skilled technicians even with high pay.To deal with the problem. some vocational colleges have worked with companies to teach students. They have hired skilled technicians from companies as teachers. With the rising of the skilled workers' social position and pay, it is believed the vocational education system in China will start to play a bigger role in the development of China.26. What's the main purpose of the development of modern vocational education in China?A. To train more highly skilled technicians for the job marketsB. To help vocational college graduates get higher pay from their work.C. To ask more people to live on themselves with technical skills.D. To encourage more companies to upgrade manufacturing.27. What is one of the problems of Chinese vocational education according to the passage?A. Higher vocational college teachers are not well paid and valued..B. There are only a small number of higher vocational colleges in China.C. The education methods and courses in vocational colleges are unsatisfactory.D. Some of the vocational college teachers are skilled technicians from companies.28. The writer believes China's future vocational education is _____________.A. hopefulB. doubtfulC. unsatisfactoryD. worryingCNowadays, it never seems we have enough time to realize all of the reading goals (目标) that we set for ourselves. Luckily, we have mobile apps such as Latte Read and GetAbstract to provide abstracts (梗概) of a text. Abstracts are useful tools, especially for students, but like having a friend describe the main content of a story to you, you cannot experience the joy and excitement of reading the original (原来的) text of yourself.I recently finished reading a thick book of W. Somerset Maugham's collected short stories. It took me around ten years to get through. Thomas Mann's difficult The Magic Mountain took me about six months to read; Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged made me very bored most of the time. Reading a book, whether it is good or bad, is a formative (建设性的) experience. There are plenty of books which I probably shouldn't have taken the time to read. But the challenge of living for a time in the thoughts and experiences of a different history or character makes even the worst book a valuable effort.Whenever I finish the last line of a book and slowly close it, I like to sit there and think over its lines with a mix of nostalgia (怀旧之情) and pride. I then take the book in hand and find a place for it on my bookshelf. When I step back and look at the books on my shelf, it is as if I am looking at the history of the different lives that I have lived.Abstracts are useful as a tool to an end, but reading the actual (真正的) book is something much richer. Reading, like anything else in life, is much more about the journey than it ever was the destination (目的地).29. What does the writer mainly want to say?A. Reading abstracts is a best short way to enjoy literature.B. Reading abstracts cannot bring you the true feeling of actual reading.C. Reading different kinds of books brings you many advantages.D. The journey and the destination are equally important in our reading.30. What can we know about the writer from the second paragraph?A. He prefers thick and difficult books to short stories.B. A good book is better worth reading than a bad one to him.C. He achieves a lot from reading some challenging books.D. He is lucky enough never to have read a regrettable book.31. In the third paragraph the writer ___________ his main point of view (主要观点).A. explains the meaning ofB. provides further support forC. makes a conclusion ofD. offers an opposite example for, DWhen Major, the most respected pig, saw all the animals were present, he cleared his throat and began:"Now, comrades (同志们) , I don't think I shall be with you for many months. Before I die, let me ask you a question. What is the nature of this life of ours? Let us face it: our lives are miserable and short. We are born, we are given just so much food as will keep the breath in our bodies, and those of us who are able to do it are forced to work to the last"Why then do we continue in this miserable? Because nearly the whole of the produce of our hard work is stolen from beings. There, comrades, is the answer to all our problems. It is summed up in a single word- Man. Man is the only real enemy we have. Remove (消灭) Man from the scene, and the basic cause of hunger and overwork is ended for ever. ""And now, comrades, I will sing an old song that came into my dream last night to you. I am sure, it was a song sung by the animals of long ago and have been lost to memory for marry years. It is called Animals of England."His voice was hoarse (沙哑的), but he sang well enough to throw the animals into the wildest excitement. Almost before Major had reached the end, they had begun singing it for themselves.Unluckily, the singing woke Mr. Jones, the farm owner, who jumped out of bed, thinking that there was a fox in the yard. He took the gun which always stood in a comer of his bedroom, and let fly 6 shots (射击) into the darkness. The pellets (子弹) flew into the wall of the yard and the meeting broke up hurriedly. Everyone ran to his own sleeping place. The birds jumped onto their trees, the animals settled down in the straw, and the whole farm was asleep in a moment.32. Why did Major make the speech?A. To encourage the animals to fight against Man.B. To teach the animals to sing an old song.C. To say goodbye to the animals before death.D. To complain about his personal miserable life.33. What does the underlined word "miserable" in the second paragraph most probably mean?A. commonB. boringC. lonelyD. painful34. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. The animals on the farm were brave.B. Major's speech was nearly successful.C. Major and Mr. Jones were friendly to each other.D. Mr. Jones forced his animals to work from birth to death.35. Why did Mr. Jones fire his gun?A. To break up the animals' meeting. `B. To kill the fox he saw in the yard.C. To make sure his gun was in good condition.D. To protect the animals he raised on his farm.四、阅读表达（共5小题; 每小题1分, 满分5分）阅读下面短文, 并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。

Suriname.CHere is some must-know information from a handbook on people’s customs(风俗) and manners when doing business in some countries.In BrazilBrazilians are warm and friendly. They often stand close when talking and it is common for them to touch the person on the shoulder. People often greet each other (particularly women) with light cheekkisses. Business meetings sometimes start later than planned. But to be safe, be on time. Meals can stretch for hours—there’s no such thing as rushing a meal in Brazil. Lunches also can start in the mid to late afternoon. Brazilians prefer face-to-face communication over emails or phone calls.In SingaporeSingaporeans shake hands when they meet and often also greet each other with a small, polite bow(鞠躬). Business cards should be offered and received with two hands. Arriving late is considered disrespectful. So be on time. Efficiency(效率) is the goal, so meetings and dealings are often fast-paced. Singaporeans are direct in their discussions, even when the subject is about money. Rank(等级) is important so people avoid disagreeing with someone of a higher rank.In the UAEIn the UAE, the most senior or oldest should be greeted first with their titles. Then handshake seems to be longer than elsewhere. Women should cover themselves when it comes to dress. Men are also covered from neck to elbows and down to the knees. People usually hold business meals at restaurants. Touching or passing food of eating with your left hand is to be avoided. When meetings are one-to-one, if your host offers you coffee, you should refuse. Is it strange? Yes, but it is actually a cultural tradition. Coffee should only be accepted if it is already set out or presented.In SwitzerlandThe Swiss like to be formal and call each other by last name. They also respect personal things. You should be careful not to ask about such topics. Punctuality(守时) is very important. It comes from a deep respect for other s’time. Arrive at any meeting or event a few minutes early to be safe. Clean dress is welcome too. The Swiss follow formal table manners. They also keep their hands visible at the table and their elbows off the table. It is polite to finish the food on your plate.31.

Every year itreceives more than 750,000 visitors. People like to go to this placeespecially in June as they want to see the sun rising on the longest day ofthe year.For many years, historians(历史学家) believed Stonehenge was a temple where ancient leaders tried to communicate with the gods. However, historian Paul Stoker thinks this can’t be true because Stonehenge was built so many centuries ago. “The leaders arrived in England much later,” he points out.Another popular idea is that Stonehenge might be a kind of calendar. The large stones were put together in a certain way. On midsummer’s morning, the sun shines directly into the center of the stones. Other people believe the stones have a medical purpose. They think the stones can prevent illness and keep people healthy. “As you walk there, you can feel the energy from your feet move up your body,” said one visitor. No one is sure what Stonehenge was used for, but most agree that the position of the stones must be for a special purpose. Some think it might be a burial(埋葬) place or a place to honor ancestors(祖先). Others think it was built to celebrate a victory over an enemy.Stonehenge was built slowly over a long period of time. Most historians believe it must be almost 5,000 years old. One of the greatest mysteries is how it was built because the stones are so big and heavy. In 2001, a group of English volunteers tried to build another Stonehenge, but they couldn’t. “We don’t really know who built Stonehenge,” says Paul Stoker. “And perhaps we might never know, but we do know they must have been hard-working —and great planners!”36. Visitors like to go there in to enjoy on the longest day of the year.A. July; sunriseB. June; sunriseC. June; sunsetD. July; sunset37. When was Stonehenge most likely built?A. 750,000 years ago.B. Six centuries ago.C. 5,000 years ago.D. In 2001.38. What do most people think was Stonehenge built for?A. Ancient leaders built it a temple to communicate with the gods.B. It might be a kind of calendar to tell people the summertime.C. It can prevent illness and make people feel energetic.D. It must be for a special purpose because of the position of the stones.39.
