一、阅读理解
Scotland is packed with beautiful places to visit and you could honestly spend months and months exploring everything this wonderful country has to offer! Next I’m going to take you through some of the best places to visit in Scotland, based on where we have personally visited so far!
Glen Coe
If you asked me where my favourite place to visit in all of Scotland is... I would say, Glen Coe. The whole area of Glen Coe constantly had my face in shock due to the beauty that I was witnessing. It’s just a stream of dramatic mountains, lakes, rugged beauty and more.
Fort William
Fort William is probably one of the most well-known places to visit in Scotland. It’s a popular tourist destination thanks to being home to the UK’s tallest mountain: Ben Nevis. Fort William is also the starting point for one of the world’s most famous train rides: The Jacobite. Harry Potter fans will recognize it as the Hogwarts Express, and this train ride will take you through the beautiful countryside, crossing some iconic Harry Potter filming locations such as the Dumbledore’s Grave and the Glenfinnan Viaduct!
Isle Of Skye
This island feels totally different from other parts of Scotland and is truly rugged and ready! There are many hot spots to explore including the Old Man of Storr, the Fairy Glen. I even stayed on a private island with its very own lighthouse, which was one of the coolest places I’ve ever visited and one of the most romantic places stay in Scotland.
Cairngorms National Park
This is the largest national park in the UK so it’s another popular place to visit in Scotland and it’s no surprise why. It’s absolutely beautiful and there’s so much happening at the Cairngorms National Park! From skiing or meeting local reindeers, you’ll not go bored and you’ll be surrounded by beauty the entire time.
1、Which place probably attracts Harry Potter fans most?
A. Glen Coe. B. Isle Of Skye.
C. Cairngorms National Park. D. Fort William.
2、What can you meet in Cairngorms National Park?
A. The Jacobite. B. Local reindeers.
C. The UK's tallest mountain. D. A cool lighthouse.
3、Where is the text probably from?
A. A geography textbook. B. A science journal.
C. A travel blog. D. An autobiography.
On July 14, 2017, Maryam Mirzakhani, Stanford professor of mathematics and the first female winner of the Fields Medal in Mathematics, died at the age of 40.
The news was especially hard-hitting for a generation of younger academics who have always held Maryam as a role model whose example is helping redefine women's status in science and especially mathematics. What was fun was that Maryam always tried to avoid the media's spotlight. Her modesty (谦虚) and simplicity despite being the first woman to gain such high status in the world of mathematics—winning what's often called the "Nobel Prize of math"—stood out to those who knew her.
Maryam originally wanted to be a writer, a passion of hers that never faded away even during her postgraduate studies. However, she found an even greater joy in how rewarding it felt to solve mathematical problems. As a student, she was the first female member of Iran's national team to participate in the International Math Olympiad (IMO), and she won two gold medals in two years—still a record.
She received her bachelor's degree in Iran and later studied at Harvard. In 2014, Maryam was recognized with the Fields Medal, the highest-ranking award in mathematics. Her work focused on curved surfaces like spheres (球体). Her achievements have applications in other scientific fields including engineering and material science. Unfortunately, at that time she was already tackling the breast cancer.
Maryam's legend(传奇) may continue to grow after her early death. Still only 20 percent of full-time math teachers at U.S. universities are women. The example of a woman who rose to the top of this still very male field may help inspire math's next generation.
In the same way people think of Marie Curie or Jane Goodall as scientific pioneers, Maryam Mirzakhani will go down in history as a trailblazer as well as a mathematical genius.
4、What makes Maryam internationally recognised?
A. Her unfading passion for writing.
B. Fighting against sexual discrimination.
C. Being the first female Fields Medal winner.
D. Coming under the media's spotlight frequently.
5、What's Maryam's attitude towards fame?
A. Resistant. B. Realistic. C. Enthusiastic. D. Doubtful.
6、What can we know about Maryam?
A. She won gold medals for Iran in IMO.
B. She got her bachelor's degree at Harvard.
C. She applied mathematics to material science.
D. She instructed some female students to reach the top.
7、What does the underlined word "trailblazer" mean in the last paragraph?
A. Talent. B. Model. C. Follower. D. Pioneer.
The British are known for their sense of humour. However, it is often difficult for foreigners to understand their jokes. The reason is that the British often use understatement.
Understatement means saying less than you think or feel. For example, if someone gets very wet in a shower of rain, he might say, "It's a little damp(潮湿的) outside. " Or, if someone is very impolite and shouts at another person, someone else might say, "She isn't exactly friendly. " Understatement is often used in an unpleasant situation or to make another person look silly. Understatement plays an important part in British humour.
Another key to understanding British humour is that the British like to make fun of themselves as well as others. They often laugh about the silly and unpleasant things that happen to their everyday life when someone accidentally falls over in the street. They also like to make jokes about people from different classes of society. They like to make jokes about their accents, the way they dress and the way they behave. What's more, the British love to watch comedies(喜剧) about people who do not know how to behave in society. The comedy series Mr Bean is a good example of this kind of humour.
Mr Bean doesn’t talk often, and instead he uses his body movements and facial expressions to make people laugh. Perhaps what makes Mr Bean so funny is that he does things that adults in the real world cannot do. Mr Bean is popular in many countries around the world because you do not have to speak English to understand the humour. Because of this, many people have become familiar with the British sense of humour.
8、Why is it difficult for foreigners to understand British jokes?
A.The British often enlarge the fact.
B.British jokes are connected with many different cultures.
C.British jokes are not as funny as jokes in other countries.
D.The British usually use understatement.
9、The author explains understatement by _____.
A.describing a process B.making comparisons
C.following the time order D.using examples
10、Mr Bean makes people laugh by _____.
A.using his body movements and facial expressions
B.making jokes about others’ accent
C.copying how others behave
D.telling funny stories
11、What can be the best title for the text?
A.British humour in comedy B.Humour in different cultures
C.Understanding British humour D.Developing your sense of humour
By now, most people know they should be eating more vegetables. But are there ways to get more from the vegetables you already eat? A research shows that when it comes to vegetables, it's not only how much we eat, but also how we prepare them, that decides the vitamins and other nutrients that enter our body.
Many studies show that people who eat lots of vegetables have less heart disease, and eye problems and even cancer. But raw vegetables are not always best. The researchers found that 198 Germans who eat raw food were short of lycopene, the matter found in tomatoes and other red vegetables. "There is an idea that raw foods are always going to be better," says Steven K. Clinton, a professor at Ohio State University. "For fruits and vegetables, sometimes a little bit of cooking can be helpful."
A number of factors decide how the vegetables do good to people's health before they reach the table, including where and how they were grown and stored before being bought. No single cooking way is best. Some nutrients are easily lost in cooking if they are cooked in different ways.
Vitamins C and B are often lost. In January, another report said that boiling was better for carrots than frying or serving them raw. Frying was the worst way to cook.
What cooked with the vegetables can also be important? When the vegetables were cooked with fat, the diners can get more nutrients. Fat can also make the taste of vegetables better, meaning that people will eat more of them. Putting on some other things that make it taste better—a little salt—can make the food taste better.
12、The writer mainly wants to tell us that ________.
A. people should eat more vegetables
B. the way people eat vegetables is important
C. eating vegetables is good for us
D. how much vegetables one should eat
13、The people who eat the raw vegetables for a long time will ________.
A. have the eyes problems B. have heart disease
C. be in need of lycopene D. hate eating tomatoes
14、The following decide how the vegetables do good to people EXCEPT ________.
A. the place where the vegetables are grown
B. the way how the vegetables are stored
C. the way how the vegetables are prepared
D. the price at which the vegetable are sold
15、From the last paragraph, we can know ________.
A. it's better to cook vegetables with the fat
B. the more fat in the cooking, the fewer vegetables people will eat
C. it's better to cook the vegetables without salt
D. the fat will increase the nutrition of the vegetables

One weekend in July, Jane and her husband, Tom, had driven three hours to camp overnight by a lake in the forest. Unfortunately, on the way an unpleasant subject came up and they started to quarrel. By the time they reached the lake,
Jane was so angry that she said to Tom, "I'm going to find a better spot for us to camp" and walked away.
With no path to follow, Jane just walked on for quite a long time. After she had climbed to a high place, she turned around, hoping to see the lake. To her surprise, she saw nothing but forest and, far beyond, a snowcapped mountain top. She suddenly realized that she was lost.
"Tom!" she cried. "Help!"
No reply. If only she had not left her mobile phone in that bag with Tom. Jane kept moving, but the farther she walked, the more confused she became. As night was beginning to fall, Jane was so tired that she had to stop for the night. Lying awake in the dark. Jane wanted very much to be with Tom and her family. She wanted to hold him and tell him how much she loved him.
Jane rose at the break of day, hungry and thirsty. She could hear water trickling (滴落) somewhere at a distance. Quickly she followed the sound to a stream. To her great joy, she also saw some berry bushes. She drank and ate a few berries. Never in her life had she tasted anything better. Feeling stronger now, Jane began to walk along the stream and hope it would lead her to the lake.
As she picked her way carefully along the stream, Jane heard a helicopter. Is that for me? Unfortunately, the trees made it impossible for people to see her from above. A few minutes later, another helicopter flew overhead. Jane took off her yellow blouse, thinking that she should go to an open area and flag them if they came back again.
注意：
续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。
But no more helicopters came and it was getting dark again.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
It was daybreak when Jane woke up.

32、答案：amusing；protects；the；Villagers；to show ；how；using；from；using；height(s)
解析：本文介绍了Polynesian Cultural Center的相关信息。
①考查词形转换。此处修饰物,故用amusing表示"令人愉快的"。
②考查时态和主谓一致。此处主语为It并且和前面的shows并列,故填protects。
③考查冠词。given to the... Pacific Ocean是过去分词短语作定语,修饰name,表示特指,故应填定冠词the。
④考查词形转换。根据后面的"from many island communities"可知,此处表示人,应填Villagers。
⑤考查非谓语动词。根据语境可知,空处表目的,故应填动词不定式to show。
⑥考查宾语从句。分析句子结构可知,空处引导宾语从句,表示"如何",故填how。
⑦考查非限制性定语从句的引导词。which指代前面的boat-building。
⑧考查介词。from...to...意思是"从……到……"。
⑨考查非谓语动词。结合空前的介词by, 此处应该用动词-ing形式。
⑩考查词形转换。结合空前的冠词及后面并列的directions可知,此处应用名词形式。又因height作"高度"讲时,既是可数名词,又是不可数名词,故填height(s)。

Paragraph 1:
But no more helicopters came and it was getting dark again. She had to stay alone in the forest for another cold night. Jane was so tired and disappointed, but she didn't lose heart. She knew Tom must be trying his best to search for her. She believed that the helicopter must have been called by Tom and was sure it would come back again tomorrow. She found a place near the stream and slept.
Paragraph 2:
It was daybreak when Jane woke up. She walked along the stream, hoping to find a suitable place so that the helicopter could find her. She was so lucky that before long a big rock appeared, which was high above the trees. There she climbed and waited with her yellow blouse in hand for the helicopter to come again. To her great joy, she didn't wait long before she saw the helicopter in the sky. She waved hard with the yellow blouse and the helicopter quickly found her. She was right and it was Tom who called the helicopter and saved her.
