No matter which place you decide to visit in Spain, you'll find a beautiful beach waiting just for you. These popular beaches can meet the needs of people from all walks of life.
Cala de Algaiarens, Minorca
With soft golden sand and clear water, this beach is perfect for snorkeling (浅滩潜水) and visiting underwater caves. The beach belongs to a local man, so tourists have to pay a small entry fee. The waves here can sometimes be huge so the beach isn't safe for kids.
Cala Tarida, Ibiza
Besides the big music festivals and the exciting nightlife, Ibiza is home to some of the most beautiful beaches; one of them is Cala Tarida. Just relax on the white sand or go swimming in clear water. It is an ideal location to spend a sunny day if you are in Ibiza.
Beach of La Concha, San Sebastian
It has been called the best city beach not just in Spain, but in Europe. It's so popular during the holidays that tourists have to struggle to get some space. Even though the beach is a 10-minute walk from the city, the white sand and the amazing clear water do make the city a new world.
Sotavento, Canary Islands
As an ideal choice for travelers, Sotavento offers 17 miles of white sandy beach. It is blessed with strong water and winds, making it a paradise (天堂) for surfers and kite flyers. The beach also hosts the popular World Kite Surf Championship every August.

If you are a fruit grower—or would like to become one—take advantage of Apple Day to see what's around. It's called Apple Day but in fact it's more like Apple Month. The day itself is on October 21, but since it has caught on, events now spread out over most of October around Britain.
Visiting an apple event is a good chance to see, and often taste, a wide variety of apples. To people who are used to the limited kinds of apples such as Golden Delicious and Royal Gala in supermarkets, it can be quite an eye opener to see the range of classical apples still in existence, such as Decio which was grown by the Romans. Although it doesn't taste of anything special, it's still worth a try, as is the knobbly(多疙瘩的) Cat's Head which is more of a curiosity than anything else.
There are also varieties developed to suit specific local conditions. One of the very best varieties for eating quality is Orleans Reinette, but you'll need a warm, sheltered place with perfect soil to grow it, so it's a pipe dream for most apple lovers who fall for it.
At the events, you can meet expert growers and discuss which ones will best suit your conditions, and because these are family affairs, children are well catered for with apple-themed fun and games.
Apple Days are being held at all sorts of places with an interest in fruit, including stately gardens and commercial orchards(果园). If you want to have a real orchard experience, try visiting the National Fruit Collection at Brogdale, near Faversham in Kent.
5.What can people do at the apple events?
A.Attend experts' lectures.
B.Visit fruit-loving families.
C.Plant fruit trees in an orchard.
D.Taste many kinds of apples.
6.What can we learn about Decio?
A.It is a new variety.
B.It has a strange look.
C.It is rarely seen now.
D.It has a special taste.
7.What does the underlined phrase “a pipe dream” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A.A practical idea.
B.A vain hope.
C.A brilliant plan.
D.A selfish desire.
8.What is the author's purpose of writing the text?
A.To show how to grow apples.
B.To introduce an apple festival.
C.To help people select apples.
D.To promote apple research.

Scientists and marine biologists(海洋生物学家) had something to celebrate last week when two lost humpback whales(座头鲸) returned to the Pacific Ocean. Delta and Dawn—a mother and a baby—had circled the Sacramento Bay area for two weeks before going back to the ocean.
“We all shouted loudly like ‘Yay'!” said Jim Oswald, a spokesman for the Marine Mammal Center. “It's been really exciting.”
The humpback whales were last spotted on May 29 near the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, California. Scientists are sure that the whales swam into open water during the evening of May 29 or early the next morning, since there have been no further sightings of the whales. Even so, boats were sent out to look for them, just in case the whales made another wrong turn.
Officials spent two weeks trying to get the whales to turn back towards the ocean. Biologists played recordings of whale-feeding as well as unfamiliar sounds to try to make the whales head back to the Pacific Ocean.
However, Delta and Dawn gave scientists an unexpected chance to study humpback whales in the wild. Scientists were able to gather sound recordings and watch their behaviors. This is especially exciting because humpback whales are an endangered species. What's more, scientists don't usually have the chance to observe (观察) them in their natural habitat.
“All those things are very hard to get,” said Oswald, “So what we are doing is filling up the knowledge blank on humpback whales in the wild.” Scientists should be able to use this information to help other lost whales in the future.
9.Jim Oswald was very happy because .
A.the whales traveled to Sacramento Bay
B.he found the lost humpback whales
C.the scientists held a great celebration
D.the whales returned to the Pacific Ocean
10.In order to make the whales go back to the ocean, the biologists .
A.fed them with other animals
B.swam into open water
C.played music to them
D.played strange sounds to them
11.The fifth paragraph mainly tells us that .
A.humpback whales will disappear in the future
B.humpback whales were excited in their natural habitat
C.scientists learned more about humpback whales
D.scientists are worried about humpback whales
12.What's the best title for the passage?
A.Looking for the Lost Whales
B.Helping the Lost Whales
C.The Lost Whales Returned
D.Two Whales Were Lost

The old Chinese saying “as happy as spending the New Year” might be outdated now in the busy modern world. The Spring Festival is regarded as the most important festival for Chinese people and an occasion for all family members to get together, like Christmas in the West. But many traditional customs accompanying the Spring Festival, however, have weakened in practice.
Setting off fireworks was once the most typical custom of the Spring Festival. People thought the sputtering (爆裂) sound could help drive away evil spirits. However, the activity has been completely or partially forbidden in big cities for years as the government has taken security, noise and pollution factors into consideration.
“In recent years, some cities have begun to allow people to light fireworks during limited hours at the Spring Festival, surrendering to (屈从于) public demand. Respecting folk traditions is a gesture of respect toward public opinion,” said Zhou Xing, a folklore researcher.
“As people gain more income and it becomes easier to buy daily goods, the New Year holiday is just like any other. After long workdays, many people use the New Year holiday to take a rest, rather than visiting friends and neighbors. The process of making and enjoying the family dinner on Spring Festival Eve is the most important thing. However, many families would like to eat out to save time and energy,” said Li Shunzhi, a resident of Harbin, Heilongjiang.
“I enjoy the holidays very much in the countryside. My family has been preparing for the Spring Festival more than two weeks before the holiday, cleaning the house, buying holiday goods and decorating the house with paper-cuttings. On New Year's Eve, the whole family stays up to see the New Year coming, and in the following days, a series of activities such as lion dancing, dragon lantern dancing, the Lantern Festival and temple fairs will be held. Without the ancient traditions, the holiday is nothing to us,” said Zhang Hui, from Hebei.
13.What Li Shunzhi said implies .
A.what people do during the festival now is different from the past
B.people would like to have the family dinner on Spring Festival Eve
C.people prefer to visit friends and neighbors rather than take a rest
D.the New Year holiday is just like any other day
14.What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A.Zhang Hui often spends two weeks preparing for the Spring Festival.
B.Zhang Hui is used to spending the Spring Festival with his family.
C.Zhang Hui always takes part in a series of activities after the Spring Festival.
D.Zhang Hui lives in the urban area.
15.What does the whole passage show?
A.The Spring Festival is as lively as before.
B.The Spring Festival is outdated now.
C.The Spring Festival is losing its qualities.
D.The Spring Festival in China is more important than Christmas in the West.

How to Be a Good Tourist
We travel not only for work but also for fun and learning. Restaurants, galleries, temples and new architecture...These places are like homes for people who live and work there. How would you want visitors to behave in your own home? 16 There are many ways of doing this without sacrificing our own holiday.
Do your homework. 17 Guides will help you when you get to the site, but is that the best place to go? Is it popular only because the one-day tourist can see it easily or because it is really a worthwhile place to visit?You'd better check it out.
18 Walk around, even if in the street closest to your hotel. Eat in local restaurants. Talk to the locals. Learn a few in the local language and use them. You will surely get a smile from the hotel staff and street sellers.
Help preserve the sites. Most of the sites you visit may be visited by millions of people a year, so care needs to be taken to allow others to enjoy them as well. Some of these monuments(历史遗迹) are so old and fragile that they are sensitive to the touch of hands or bags and shows. 19 This way, you don't encourage the use of those plastic bags that fly all over many sites.
And here's the big one—good manners are nearly universal. 20 If that doesn't sound like you, then give the world a break and stay home.
A.Experience the place yourself.
B.Always have a cloth bag with you.
C.Read some information about the places you want to visit.
D.Try to buy something from the local stores.
E.A good tourist is polite, positive and eco-sensitive.
F.We've cleaned up after ourselves and taken only good memories.
G.I think we would like them to make it a little better because of their visit.

Many years ago, one of the best engineers in the Notco Company in Australia was Mr. King. He had only worked there for five months, but already he was one of the best workers in the team. His job was to design new machines.
One day, Mr. King had an accident. A worker drove a small handtruck so carelessly that it hit the back of Mr. King's legs. Mr. King, whose legs were badly hurt, was quickly taken to hospital. There a doctor asked him to remove his trousers so that he could examine his legs. To everyone's surprise, Mr. King refused. Nobody could understand what the problem was. Finally, the doctor said to Mr. King gently, “Please tell me what the problem is. Unless you tell me, I shall not be able to help you.”
Mr. King looked carefully at the doctor. “Please don't tell anyone else. If anyone at work discovers my secret, I shall lose my job. I'm not Mr. King. I'm Ms. King! I'm a woman! But I had to lie to the company and pretend to be a man in order to get a job.”
In fact, Mr. King's secret was discovered the same evening. Mr. Pattis, in whose department Mr. King worked, had heard about the accident. He called the hospital after work to find out whether Mr. King was better. To his surprise, the person at the front desk told him that his best worker had been put in Women's Room 31.
Ms. King had to tell her story to her boss, Mr. Pattis. “For months I tried to get a good job as an engineer, but it was impossible to get a job as a woman.”
“So I cut my hair short, bought some men's clothes, used a man's name and finally got a job in your company. Please let me stay in the company; I enjoy working there.”
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
Paragraph 1:
The next day a meeting was held to discuss the problem of Ms. King.
Paragraph 2:
For a moment or two everyone was quiet.

One possible version:
Dear Terry,
I am delighted when receiving your letter asking what customs you should pay attention to when visiting a Chinese friend. Here are some tips for you.
First of all, bear in mind that you had better arrive punctually or some time earlier than the appointed time, which is of great significance to show your politeness. Additionally, to be respectful, you might as well bring an appropriate gift, like some fruit. Most importantly, it's vital that you should mind your table manners. For instance, never speak with your mouth full of food, which may be similar to the custom of your own culture.
In brief, do as the Chinese do when in China. I do hope you will have great fun at your friend's home.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

No matter which place you decide to visit in Spain, you'll find a beautiful beach waiting just for you. These popular beaches can meet the needs of people from all walks of life.
Cala de Algaiarens, Minorca
With soft golden sand and clear water, this beach is perfect for snorkeling (浅滩潜水) and visiting underwater caves. The beach belongs to a local man, so tourists have to pay a small entry fee. The waves here can sometimes be huge so the beach isn't safe for kids.

It has been called the best city beach not just in Spain, but in Europe. It's so popular during the holidays that tourists have to struggle to get some space. Even though the beach is a 10-minute walk from the city, the white sand and the amazing clear water do make the city a new world.
Sotavento, Canary Islands

If you are a fruit grower—or would like to become one—take advantage of Apple Day to see what's around. It's called Apple Day but in fact it's more like Apple Month. The day itself is on October 21, but since it has caught on, events now spread out over most of October around Britain.
Visiting an apple event is a good chance to see, and often taste, a wide variety of apples. To people who are used to the limited kinds of apples such as Golden Delicious and Royal Gala in supermarkets, it can be quite an eye opener to see the range of classical apples still in existence, such as Decio which was grown by the Romans. Although it doesn't taste of anything special, it's still worth a try, as is the knobbly(多疙瘩的) Cat's Head which is more of a curiosity than anything else.
There are also varieties developed to suit specific local conditions. One of the very best varieties for eating quality is Orleans Reinette, but you'll need a warm, sheltered place with perfect soil to grow it, so it's a pipe dream for most apple lovers who fall for it.
At the events, you can meet expert growers and discuss which ones will best suit your conditions, and because these are family affairs, children are well catered for with apple-themed fun and games.
Apple Days are being held at all sorts of places with an interest in fruit, including stately gardens and commercial orchards(果园). If you want to have a real orchard experience, try visiting the National Fruit Collection at Brogdale, near Faversham in Kent.
5.What can people do at the apple events?
A.Attend experts' lectures.
B.Visit fruit-loving families.

Scientists and marine biologists(海洋生物学家) had something to celebrate last week when two lost humpback whales(座头鲸) returned to the Pacific Ocean. Delta and Dawn—a mother and a baby—had circled the Sacramento Bay area for two weeks before going back to the ocean.
“We all shouted loudly like ‘Yay'!” said Jim Oswald, a spokesman for the Marine Mammal Center. “It's been really exciting.”
The humpback whales were last spotted on May 29 near the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, California. Scientists are sure that the whales swam into open water during the evening of May 29 or early the next morning, since there have been no further sightings of the whales. Even so, boats were sent out to look for them, just in case the whales made another wrong turn.
Officials spent two weeks trying to get the whales to turn back towards the ocean. Biologists played recordings of whale-feeding as well as unfamiliar sounds to try to make the whales head back to the Pacific Ocean.
However, Delta and Dawn gave scientists an unexpected chance to study humpback whales in the wild. Scientists were able to gather sound recordings and watch their behaviors. This is especially exciting because humpback whales are an endangered species. What's more, scientists don't usually have the chance to observe (观察) them in their natural habitat.
“All those things are very hard to get,” said Oswald, “So what we are doing is filling up the knowledge blank on humpback whales in the wild.” Scientists should be able to use this information to help other lost whales in the future.
9.Jim Oswald was very happy because .
A.the whales traveled to Sacramento Bay
B.he found the lost humpback whales
C.the scientists held a great celebration
D.the whales returned to the Pacific Ocean
10.In order to make the whales go back to the ocean, the biologists .
A.fed them with other animals
B.swam into open water
C.played music to them
D.played strange sounds to them
11.The fifth paragraph mainly tells us that .
A.humpback whales will disappear in the future
B.humpback whales were excited in their natural habitat
C.scientists learned more about humpback whales
D.scientists are worried about humpback whales
12.What's the best title for the passage?
A.Looking for the Lost Whales
B.Helping the Lost Whales
C.The Lost Whales Returned
D.Two Whales Were Lost

The old Chinese saying “as happy as spending the New Year” might be outdated now in the busy modern world. The Spring Festival is regarded as the most important festival for Chinese people and an occasion for all family members to get together, like Christmas in the West. But many traditional customs accompanying the Spring Festival, however, have weakened in practice.
Setting off fireworks was once the most typical custom of the Spring Festival. People thought the sputtering (爆裂) sound could help drive away evil spirits. However, the activity has been completely or partially forbidden in big cities for years as the government has taken security, noise and pollution factors into consideration.
“In recent years, some cities have begun to allow people to light fireworks during limited hours at the Spring Festival, surrendering to (屈从于) public demand. Respecting folk traditions is a gesture of respect toward public opinion,” said Zhou Xing, a folklore researcher.
“As people gain more income and it becomes easier to buy daily goods, the New Year holiday is just like any other. After long workdays, many people use the New Year holiday to take a rest, rather than visiting friends and neighbors. The process of making and enjoying the family dinner on Spring Festival Eve is the most important thing. However, many families would like to eat out to save time and energy,” said Li Shunzhi, a resident of Harbin, Heilongjiang.
“I enjoy the holidays very much in the countryside. My family has been preparing for the Spring Festival more than two weeks before the holiday, cleaning the house, buying holiday goods and decorating the house with paper-cuttings. On New Year's Eve, the whole family stays up to see the New Year coming, and in the following days, a series of activities such as lion dancing, dragon lantern dancing, the Lantern Festival and temple fairs will be held. Without the ancient traditions, the holiday is nothing to us,” said Zhang Hui, from Hebei.
13.What Li Shunzhi said implies .
A.what people do during the festival now is different from the past
B.people would like to have the family dinner on Spring Festival Eve
C.people prefer to visit friends and neighbors rather than take a rest
D.the New Year holiday is just like any other day
14.What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A.Zhang Hui often spends two weeks preparing for the Spring Festival.
B.Zhang Hui is used to spending the Spring Festival with his family.
C.Zhang Hui always takes part in a series of activities after the Spring Festival.
D.Zhang Hui lives in the urban area.
15.What does the whole passage show?
A.The Spring Festival is as lively as before.
B.The Spring Festival is outdated now.
C.The Spring Festival is losing its qualities.
D.The Spring Festival in China is more important than Christmas in the West.

How to Be a Good Tourist
We travel not only for work but also for fun and learning. Restaurants, galleries, temples and new architecture...These places are like homes for people who live and work there. How would you want visitors to behave in your own home? 16 There are many ways of doing this without sacrificing our own holiday.
Do your homework. 17 Guides will help you when you get to the site, but is that the best place to go? Is it popular only because the one-day tourist can see it easily or because it is really a worthwhile place to visit?You'd better check it out.
18 Walk around, even if in the street closest to your hotel. Eat in local restaurants. Talk to the locals. Learn a few in the local language and use them. You will surely get a smile from the hotel staff and street sellers.
Help preserve the sites. Most of the sites you visit may be visited by millions of people a year, so care needs to be taken to allow others to enjoy them as well. Some of these monuments(历史遗迹) are so old and fragile that they are sensitive to the touch of hands or bags and shows. 19 This way, you don't encourage the use of those plastic bags that fly all over many sites.
And here's the big one—good manners are nearly universal. 20 If that doesn't sound like you, then give the world a break and stay home.
A.Experience the place yourself.
B.Always have a cloth bag with you.
C.Read some information about the places you want to visit.
D.Try to buy something from the local stores.
E.A good tourist is polite, positive and eco-sensitive.
F.We've cleaned up after ourselves and taken only good memories.
G.I think we would like them to make it a little better because of their visit.

Many years ago, one of the best engineers in the Notco Company in Australia was Mr. King. He had only worked there for five months, but already he was one of the best workers in the team. His job was to design new machines.
One day, Mr. King had an accident. A worker drove a small handtruck so carelessly that it hit the back of Mr. King's legs. Mr. King, whose legs were badly hurt, was quickly taken to hospital. There a doctor asked him to remove his trousers so that he could examine his legs. To everyone's surprise, Mr. King refused. Nobody could understand what the problem was. Finally, the doctor said to Mr. King gently, “Please tell me what the problem is. Unless you tell me, I shall not be able to help you.”
Mr. King looked carefully at the doctor. “Please don't tell anyone else. If anyone at work discovers my secret, I shall lose my job. I'm not Mr. King. I'm Ms. King! I'm a woman! But I had to lie to the company and pretend to be a man in order to get a job.”
In fact, Mr. King's secret was discovered the same evening. Mr. Pattis, in whose department Mr. King worked, had heard about the accident. He called the hospital after work to find out whether Mr. King was better. To his surprise, the person at the front desk told him that his best worker had been put in Women's Room 31.
Ms. King had to tell her story to her boss, Mr. Pattis. “For months I tried to get a good job as an engineer, but it was impossible to get a job as a woman.”
“So I cut my hair short, bought some men's clothes, used a man's name and finally got a job in your company. Please let me stay in the company; I enjoy working there.”
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
Paragraph 1:
The next day a meeting was held to discuss the problem of Ms. King.

第三部分 写作
第一节
One possible version:
Dear Terry,
I am delighted when receiving your letter asking what customs you should pay attention to when visiting a Chinese friend. Here are some tips for you.
First of all, bear in mind that you had better arrive punctually or some time earlier than the appointed time, which is of great significance to show your politeness. Additionally, to be respectful, you might as well bring an appropriate gift, like some fruit. Most importantly, it's vital that you should mind your table manners. For instance, never speak with your mouth full of food, which may be similar to the custom of your own culture.
In brief, do as the Chinese do when in China. I do hope you will have great fun at your friend's home.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

②Mr. Pattis的理由是什么?
One possible version:
Paragraph 1:
The next day a meeting was held to discuss the problem of Ms. King. The boss of the company told the story about Ms. King and then said, “We shall have to make a decision about Ms. King, whose story I have just told you. It seems that she told a lie in order to get a job in our company. I think that this is a very serious matter. I shall have to ask her to leave the company, as we have never had a woman working in this part of our company before.”
Paragraph 2:
For a moment or two everyone was quiet. Then Mr. Pattis said, “I don't agree with your decision. Does it matter if an engineer is a man or a woman? She is the best engineer in my office. I think that our company should offer jobs to people for one reason only—because he or she can do the job better than anyone else. She lied to us because she had to get a job. I would like her to stay in the company. You said that we had never have a woman working in this part of our company before, but that's all because we never thought of it. Yes?”
