A

Design your own adventure spent at IZE's Blue Creek Field Station by choosing activities per day from the list below.

Short Cave Hike：2­hour activity where you will be exposed to the ultimate tropical rainforest experience. At every turn along the trail，a novel experience awaits. Perhaps it's a trail of leaf cutter ants (切叶蚁) or a delicate tree snake. You will follow your Maya Guides up a steep incline(斜坡) to the entrance of one of the most wonderful limestone caves in Belize.

Ethnobotany Walk：3­hour activity where you will explore the medical and cookery uses of the local herbs, plants and trees. The Mayans were masters in using the jungle's natural resources for their medical needs. You will learn about the vines(藤蔓) that store drinking water and other remarkable remedies that nature offers. You will get a first­hand look at the crops the Maya harvest such as cocoa，mango，rice，beans，etc.

Hokeb Ha Cave Hike: Spend time in one of the most spectacular limestone caves in Belize. The name of this cave means “where the water enters the earth”. Stalactites(钟乳石) hang from the ceiling, and colonies of bats live in the darkest gaps. You can also search for Mayan artificial crafts over 1,000 years old.

Lizard Hike：2­4 hour activity where you will swim and hike along the clear blue river as you look for lizards in the tall trees. Can you identify which species? Is it the spectacular dinosaur that looks like green lizards? Belize is home to many of the 3,800 species of lizards in the world.

21．During the Short Cave Hike, you ________.

A．will be lost in the tropical forest

B．may enjoy unexpected views on the way

C．can be bitten by the tree snakes occasionally

B

For underwater photographer Brian Skerry, there are good days. The sun shines; the water's clear. But most days aren't like that. The whales don't show up, or there are particles (颗粒)in the water，or wind brings the waves，or the sun dips behind a cloud at the worst moment.

A National Geographic photography fellow and the 2017, Rolex National Geographic Explorer of the Year, Skerry free dives—which means no scuba tanks, no equipment except his fins, mask, and camera. Over the past two years he's spent nine weeks off the eastern Caribbean island of Dominica in a 30­Foot boat running after sperm whales around their warm­water habitat.

Sperm whales are intelligent, and mad, escaping to ocean depths when pursued. Still, their ranks have been thinned by whaling，overfishing, and other contact with humans, to the point that the world's conservationists assess them as either vulnerable or endangered. Skerry wants his photos to inform the scientific research and education efforts that will bring whales more attention and potentially some relief. “I feel a sense of responsibility and urgency to make people care about the marine giants，” he says. “I want to give them, for lack of a better word, some humanity.”

Scientists know sperm whales as the ocean's largest toothed animals that kill other animals. They have the biggest brains of any known animal, can weigh up to 45 tons, and have been observed displaying humanlike qualities, such as curiosity and playfulness. But despite their size and their expressiveness, sperm whales remain one of the ocean's biggest mysteries. Do they share complex ideas?

24．What is “free dives”？

A．Diving without charge.

B．Diving without sponsors.

C．Diving with little equipment.

D．Diving with few regulations.

25．What does the underlined word “vulnerable” probably mean?

A．Easily attacked.  B．Strongly built.

C．Desperately driven.  D．Distantly removed.

26．What can we learn about the sperm whales from the text?

A．Sperm whales are the largest fish in the sea.

B．Sperm whales are as clever as the human being.

C．Sperm whales enjoy being photographed by photographers.

D．Sperm whales' population has declined due to illegal fishing.

27．Where is the text probably taken from?

A．A technology magazine.

B．A tourism advertisement.

C．A geography magazine.

D．An entertainment report.

C

Give yourself a test. Which way is the wind blowing? How many kinds of wildflowers can be seen from your front door? If your awareness is as sharp as it could be, you'll have no trouble answering these questions.

Most of us observed much more as children than we do as adults. A child's day is filled with fascination, newness and wonder. Curiosity gave us all a natural awareness. But distinctions that were sharp to us as children become unclear; we are numb (麻木的) to new stimulation (刺激), new ideas. Relearning the art of seeing the world around us is quite simple, although it takes practice and requires breaking some bad habits.

The first step in awakening senses is to stop predicting what we are going to see and feel before it occurs. This blocks awareness. One chilly night when I was hiking in the Rocky Mountains with some students, I mentioned that we were going to cross a mountain stream. The students began complaining about how cold it would be. We reached the stream, and they unwillingly walked ahead. They were almost knee­deep when they realised it was a hot spring. Later they all admitted they'd felt cold water at first.

Another block to awareness is the obsession (痴迷) many of us have with naming things. I saw bird watchers who spotted a bird，immediately looked it up in field guides, and said, a “ruby­crowned kinglet” and checked it off. They no longer paid attention to the bird and never learned what it was doing.

 The pressures of “time” and “destination” are further blocks to awareness. I encountered many hikers who were headed to a distant camp­ground with just enough time to get there before dark. It seldom occurred to them to wander a bit, to take a moment to see what's around them. I asked them what they'd seen. “Oh, a few birds，” they said. They seemed bent on their destinations.

Nature seems to unfold to people who watch and wait. Next time you take a walk, no matter where it is, take in all the sights，sounds and sensations. Wander in this frame of mind and you will open a new dimension to your life.

28．According to Paragraph 2, compared with adults, children are more ________.

A．anxious to do wonders

B．sensitive to others' feelings

C．likely to develop unpleasant habits

D．eager to explore the world around them

29．What idea does the author convey in Paragraph 3?

A．To avoid jumping to conclusions.

B．To stop complaining all the time.

C．To follow the teacher's advice.

D．To admit mistakes honestly.

30．The bird watchers' behaviour shows that they ________.

A．are very patient in their observation

B．are really fascinated by nature

C．care only about the names of birds

D．question the accuracy of the field guides

31．In the passage, the author intends to tell us we should ________.

A．feel the wonders of the world with all our senses

B．get rid of some bad habits in our daily life

C．open our mind to new things and ideas

D．try our best to protect nature

D

I was never very neat, while my roommate Kate was extremely organised. Each of her objects had its place, but mine always hid somewhere. She even labelled (贴标签于) everything. I always looked for everything. Over time, Kate got neater and I got messier. She would push my dirty clothing over, and I would lay my books on her tidy desk. We both got tired of each other.

War broke out one evening. Kate came into the room. Soon, I heard her screaming, “Take your shoes away! Why under my bed！” Deafened, I saw my shoes flying at me. I jumped to my feet and started yelling. She yelled back louder.

The room was filled with anger. We could not have stayed together for a single minute but for a phone call. Kate answered it. From her end of the conversation, I could tell right away her grandma was seriously ill. When she hung up, she quickly crawled (爬) under her covers, sobbing. Obviously, that was something she should not go through alone. All of a sudden, a warm feeling of sympathy rose up in my heart.

 Slowly, I collected the pencils, took back the books, made my bed, cleaned the socks and swept the floor even on her side. I got so into my work that I even didn't notice Kate had sat up. She was watching, her tears dried and her expression was such disbelief. Then, she reached out her hands to grasp mine. I looked up into her eyes. She smiled at me, “Thanks.”

Kate and I stayed roommates for the rest of the year. We didn't always agree, but we learnt the key to living together: giving in, cleaning up and holding on.

32．What made Kate so angry one evening?

A．She couldn't find her books.

B．She heard the author shouting loud.

C．She got the news that her grandma was ill.

D．She saw the author's shoes beneath her bed.

33．The author tidied up the room most probably because ________.

A．she was scared by Kate's anger

B．she hated herself for being so messy

C．she wanted to show her care

D．she was asked by Kate to do so

34．How is Paragraph 1 mainly developed?

A．By analysing causes.

B．By showing differences.

C．By describing a process.

D．By following time order.

35．What might be the best title for the story?

A．My Friend Kate

B．Hard Work Pays Off

C．How to Be Organised

D．Learning to Be Roommates

How to Focus

Improving your focus can make you a better student or employee as well as a happier and more organized person. If you want to improve your focus, you need to learn to avoid distractions and to be prepared with a focus­filled game plan before you set out to accomplish a task.__36__

1. Build up your focus stamina (持久力). Each person may start off with a certain amount of “focus stamina”， but this is something that can be improved over time. To build your focus stamina, just give yourself a certain amount of time to do nothing but work on a certain task. __37__ It may be just another five minutes or another half hour.

2. Meditate (冥想). Meditation is more than a great way to relax. __38__ When you meditate, you'll be focusing on clearing your head and concentrating on your body and breath. You can easily transfer these skills to clearing your head and focusing on the work ahead of you.

3. __39__ Reading is a great way to build up your focus. Try reading something without stopping for just thirty minutes, and slowly build your stamina to read for an hour or even two hours with only short breaks. Being able to focus on the material in front of you will help you learn to focus on your work.

4. Multitask less. __40__ However, it is actually harmful to your concentration. When you multitask, you're not putting all of your focus and energy into any task, which actually harms your concentration. Work on getting just one thing done at a time and you'll see that you get this done more quickly. Chatting with your friends online while getting work done is one of the worst forms of multitasking. Chatting with a friend can reduce your productivity by half.

A．Read more.

B．If you want to know how to focus like a laser, just follow these steps!

C．Keep going until you feel you need to stop, and try to focus for longer the next day.

D．When that time passes, see how long you can keep going before actually stopping.

E．Many people think getting two or three things done at once is a great way to accomplish goals more quickly.

F．Did you waste your whole day reading random articles that people posted on a social networking website?

G．If you meditate for just 10 to 20 minutes every day, you will slowly improve your focus.

Firstly, my __42__ skills developed when I independently directed each swimmer where to line up at the platform and __43__ each competitor when they needed to swim. I had to make sure that the swimmers were __44__ and ready to perform. This kept me on my feet at all times and __45__ of each event's time and location. I learnt each swimmer's name, because many of them swam in more than one event.

Secondly, my __46__ was greatly influenced. When I saw the swimmers get their awards for winning each swimming event, I was deeply moved. I was __47__ that most swimmers could swim better than me. Their __48__ attitudes astonished me, whether they won or lost. This also enlarged my view, offering me the opportunity to __49__ people I would normally not run into. I went out of my comfort zone and did whatever was needed to be done, even if it was sometimes difficult to me. It was especially __50__ when I saw the glowing faces of the competitors.

Lastly, I was of __51__ to my community by lending a hand to this organisation. To be a part of it gave me a chance to improve my community and become __52__ with the people living in this area.

第二节　读后续写(满分25分)

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

There was a thick forest on the sides of a mountain. Many kinds of animals lived in the forest. A deer was eating grass and leaves with her two young ones. The young ones wandered happily here and there. The deer followed her babies into a cave. She was frightened because it was a tiger's cave. There were bones of dead animals all over the cave. Fortunately, the tiger was not inside the cave at the time.

The deer was trying to lead her young ones out of the cave when she heard a loud roar. She saw the tiger at a distance coming towards the cave. It was dangerous to go out of the cave now. She thought of a plan. The deer raised her voice and shouted, “My dear young children do not weep. I shall capture a tiger for you to eat. You can have a good dinner.”

The tiger heard these words and became frightened. He thought, “Whose is that strange voice from the cave? A dangerous animal is staying inside to capture me. I shall run away to escape death.” The tiger began to run away from there as fast as possible.

A jackal (胡狼) saw the running tiger. “Why are you running in great fear？” the jackal asked. The tiger said, “My friend, a powerful and fierce animal is in my cave. The young ones are crying for a tiger to eat. The mother is promising to capture a tiger for them. So, I am running away.”

The jackal said, “Don't be afraid. No animal is fiercer or stronger than a tiger. Let us go together to find out.”

But the tiger said, “I do not want to take a chance. You may run away. I will be left alone to die. So, I will not come with you.”

The jackal said, “Trust me. Let us knot(打结) our tails together. Then I will not be able to leave you.” The tiger agreed unwillingly to this proposal. So the jackal tied their tails in a knot. Now they walked towards the cave together.
