West Edmonton Mall

Here there is truly something for everyone with 800 stores, 10 world-class attractions, two hotels and over 100 dining venues. There is lots of parking, but it can be hard to find a spot later in the day, so plan to arrive early. You can also take a bus if you want to avoid driving in this busy area of the city.

Fort Edmonton Park

The park is the perfect kid-friendly attraction. This trip down memory lane will introduce your family to four periods in Edmonton’s history. You’ll want to spend at least three hours, so your family will have time to take part in as many activities as possible.

The High Level Streetcar

The beautifully restored streetcars and informative conductors will take your family on an unforgettable trip down memory lane. You’ll also enjoy a wonderful view of the river from the world’s highest streetcar bridge.

Tip: If you plan your trip on Saturday, you’ll also be able to pay a visit to the Old Strathcona Farmer’s Market.

   Peter Damon produces about 30 paintings a year and sells them for between $250 and $1,500. That’s not enough to make ends meet, but it has made him whole again. He lost both arms in an accident.

“Having this skill that even normal people find difficult was something that really helped me and made me feel like I fit in more in the world,” Damon said. He was a worker in a car factory. One day when he was working, there was a gas explosion (爆炸), killing one worker and injuring him.

“I lost my right arm above the elbow, about three inches above the elbow, and my left about six inches below,” he explained.

“How am I going to make a living and take care of my family? I had always worked with my hands,” he said.

Then with a simple little drawing, a new future opened up for him.

“I thought it was wonderful in a way,” Damon said. “Something was telling me to focus on this and everything will be alright.” Damon doesn’t have a perfect prosthetic arm (假肢)—juts a hook (钩子), which he finds works best.

He and his wife Jen run True Grit Art Gallery in Middleboro, Massachusetts, where he shows the works of local artists. With his disability check from the government, he can afford to be an artist. He is a man doing what he wants with his life, and doesn’t look at his situation as a hard time.

“I don’t see it that way,” Damon said. “Suffering an injury like this has a way of making you focus on what’s important in life.”

He believes his best work is still ahead of him. But with his pictures of simple American scenes, Damon has already produced his best work.

24．How did Damon lose his arms?

A．A gas explosion injured his arms.

B．He was attacked when he was driving a car.

C．His arms were tapped by a worker by accident.

D．He was knocked down by a car when he was working.

25．What do we know about Peter Damon when he started taking up painting from the text?

A．His hope for life was brought back.

B．He felt a lot of pressure at the beginning.

C．He didn’t earn enough to support his family.

D．His painting were so expensive that few people wanted to buy them.

26．What is Damon’s attitude towards his suffering?

A．Negative. B．Optimistic. C．Pitiful. D．Uncertain.

27．What is the main idea of the passage?

A．Winners do what losers don’t want to do.

B．It is never too late to mend.

C．Never put off until tonorow what you can do today.

D．God closes a door and another will open for you.

C

 People do not like being separated from their mobile phones, even while enjoying a restful holiday at the beach. However, the phone battery (电池) may become exhausted completely. If that happens, they have no choice but to connect the phone to the power supply. But it’s impossible to get the battery charged (充电) at the beach. What’s worse, the hot sun is shining right overhead, and the water in the bottle is sure to reach a very high temperature.

Antoine Sayah, a university student from Lebanon, developed a special beach mat called the Beachill. It looks similar to the ordinary beach mat and will cause back pain as well. However, the device can recharge any mobile phone. It is designed to be water resistant (防水的) and has a 5-watt solar panel, which provides power continuously. The mat also has the refrigeration equipment that can help keep drinks cool, just like the refrigerator.

Antoine Sayah began selling the Beachill on the Internet for $150. He says he has been surprised at the reaction worldwide. “I have got orders for the device from Brazil, Toronto, all over Europe, especially France, America, from all continents.” The Beachill is also gaining popularity in other places, like swimming pools and boats.

Some people like the mat because it is lightweight and easy-to-carry. Rita Mathieu bought one of the Beachills. “When I am on the beach, I used to look around for a charger and never managed to find any and the water never stays cool,” she says. “So this kind of beach mat is wonderful and has everything in it, even a pocket where I can put a book. Thanks to it, I can surf the Internet and keep in touch with friends at any time at the beach.”

28．The opening paragraph is mainly intended to _________.

A．show great pity for people at the beach

B．attract the readers’ interest in the subject

C．provide some key facts about mobile phones

D．prove the importance of water in hot weather

29．What can we learn about the Beachill?

A．It is quite unusual in appearance. B．It will stop working in the water.

C．It has some function of the refrigerator. D．It has a 3-watt solar panel.

30．Rita Mathieu is mentioned to prove the Beachill’s _________.

A．popularity B．convenience C．good quality D．low price

31．The text is written to _________.

A．tell people a new way to get a cold drink B．ask people to stop using phones at the beach

C．encourage people to travel around the world D．introduce a beach mat that can charge a phone

D

    About 97% of the world’s water is salty and is found in our oceans and seas. But, as we can’t drink sea water, how can it be important?

Every part of our seas and oceans contains an amazing number of animals and fish that live at different ocean depths. Most of the different species of animals and fish depend on simple plants for their food. These simple plants called algae (海藻) drift near the surface of the ocean and use sunlight to turn carbon dioxide and water into food and oxygen. In fact, algae produce over half of the oxygen people breathe. How important sea water is!

Each plant or animal in our seas and oceans is an important link in a food chain. The algae are eaten in large amounts by microscopic animals, which are in tur consumed by larger animals. These food chains are delicately (微妙地) balanced.

The bad news about the food chains in the oceans is that they are under threat because of man. People once thought that the oceans were so big that it didn’t matter if we dumped rubbish into them or caught huge quantities of fish and whales for food. But we now know this is not true and fish stocks in the oceans have started to drop.

Thankfully, the world is taking steps to protect the future of our oceans by introducing international agreements to protect marine habitats. Most counties have introduced fishing restrictions (限制) to protect fish stocks in the oceans and new techniques are being pioneered to cope with pollution. Finally, the importance of protecting oceans is being made known to more people. This is just the beginning of a long process to protect the oceans for our future. We depend on the oceans for fish which are an important part of the human diet. How important sea water is!

32．From the passage, we learn that _________.

A．most fish and sea animals live at the surface of the seas

B．it is very difficult to break the balance of a food chain

C．over-fishing has caused the decrease in fish stock

D．it won’t be long before the problems concerning oceans will be solved

33．What does the underlined phrase “cope with” mean in Chinse?

A．处理 B．保护 C．增加 D．检验

34．Which of the following is NOT a way being used to protect oceans?

A．The use of international agreements.

B．Forbidding fishing to protect fish socks.

C．The use of new techniques.

D．Raising people’s awareness of the need to protect oceans.

35．What would be the best title of the passage?

A．The Importance of Sea Water

B．Life in the Oceans

C．How to Protect Food Chains

D．How to Deal with Seawater Pollution

The summer holiday is coming. My classmates and I are talking about what to spend our holiday. We can chose between staying at home and take a trip. If we stayed at home, it will be comfortably and there will be no need to spend money. Therefore, in that case, we will learn little about the world.

Dear Linda,

I am Li Hua, a student of Senior 2 in Baoji. I am very glad that you show great interest in English, too. And I hope we can be best friends and learn English together.

    I am also delighted to help you learn English. Firstly, I would like to share with you some interesting and useful magazines and English novels that I have read. Besides, it would be a good idea if you can write to me in English and tell me something about your school life and your hometown. What's more, it is also a wise choice to listen to English on radio and watch some English TV programs. By doing so, you can improve your listening and pronunciation.

 I hope you will find my ideas useful. I am looking forward to your early reply.

Yours,

Li Hua
