South Africa is the water-lovers' paradise. Whether you want to be by the sea, on the sea or even under it, there are countless ways to get your ocean experience. Almost all of them are located on South Africa's east coast, where the Indian Ocean keeps water warm.

Thompson's Bay, Ballito

Drive 40 minutes north of Durban to reach the unique coastal town of Ballito. Popular with holidaymakers, Ballito has a choice of pretty beaches—and the best for swimming is Thompson's Bay. This scenic cove （小海湾）is sheltered from the wind and characterized by its calm waters, interesting rocky outcrops and a fascinating geological hole-in-the-wall. There's a walled tidal pool for those who are nervous to swim in the open ocean, making this spot a particularly good choice for families.

Umhlanga Rocks, Durban

Located a 20-minute drive from central Durban, the resort town of Umhlanga is a proper getaway for people

with good incomes and visitors in the know(知内情的). The main Umhlanga Rocks beach boasts safe swimming waters and endless golden sands, again protected by lifeguards and shark nets. A paved walkway provides direct access to the town's beachfront shops, restaurants and bars.

Gonubie Beach, East London

The coastal town of Gonubie is seen by many as a suburb of East London, one of the largest cities of the Eastern Cape. Its picture-perfect beach offers great swimming areas in the open sea. The Gonubie River reaches the sea at this point, too, and offers another bathing spot on days when the surf in the sea is bigger than usual. All along the river's green banks, you'll find a series of shaded spots perfect for summer picnics and barbecues.

Kelly’s Beach, Port Alfred

Further south on the Sunshine Coast, the laid-back town of Port Alfred is home to Kelly’s Beach, which was awarded Blue Flag status for 2017-2018. A 400-meter stretch of pale brown sand, the beach and its waters are exceptionally clean. Two viewing decks come in handy during whale-watching season, or for admiring spectacular sunrises and sunsets.

1. If you are planning a family trip to South Africa, which beach suits you best?

A. Thompson's Bay, Ballito. B. Umhlanga Rocks, Durban.

C. Gonubie Beach. East London D. Kelly's Beach, Port Alfred.

2 What's special about Umhlanga Rocks in Durban?

A. It is free for children. B. Its target crowd is the rich.

C. It has a walled tidal pool. D. It has pale brown sand.

3. What could you do when meeting violent waves on Gonubie Beach?

A. Go swimming in the open sea. B. Go bathing at another bathing spot.

C. Go surfing in the open sea. D. Go camping by the riverside.

【答案】1. A    2. B    3. B

B

Garbage often has negative associations with germs (细菌)，dirt and useless junk. However a recent art exhibition proved that “useless” things can have practical significance.

Dear Pretty Rubbish, an art event organized by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWFN) and digital media art company Blackbow, was held in Beijing. It looked at wasteful consumption (消耗) and asked questions about the relationship between our lifestyles and our garbage.

“We hope that everyone who visited the show can think about how ‘useless things’ are produced, why they are tossed out (扔走), and whether ‘useless things’ are really useless,” said Cao Yujia, the design director of Blackbow.

The organizers said that all the raw materials for the exhibition were collected from community garbage cans.

Artists Zhou Yuxuan and Liu Yifan collected nylon cable ties (尼龙扎带), LED lights and beverage bottles from designers’ workshops to create a work where plastics, in the shape of cells, “grow” in a corner. There, the lights blink (闪烁) regularly to imitate (模仿) “breathing”. When people walk near it, the work responds by forming light patterns, as if communicating with the visitors.

Speaking about the work, Zhou said: “It’s like some kind of communication between humans and plastics.”

Plastic has a life longer than almost any creature, taking centuries to decompose. Though people blame plastics for damage to the environment, they are a big part of our daily lives.

“So we want to ask the question: Although the damage continues, whether there is a way for humans to reconcile (调和) with plastics,” said Zhou.

Liu said that plastic waste can be used to make clothes and ornaments (装饰品). “Re-use of plastics will be a future trend,” he said.

Cable ties are a useful and common material for fastening. Many people will buy a large bundle of them but only use a few pieces. The rest of cable ties could be re-used as a decoration in handicrafts.

“This exhibition calls for everyone to re-think their wasteful lifestyle full of single-use plastics and make changes,” said Cao.

4. What was the purpose of Dear Pretty Rubbish?

A. To call on people to reduce waste.

B. To remind people to live healthily.

C To encourage people to use more plastic.

D. To teach people how to recycle different kinds of garbage.

5. What does the underlined word “decompose” probably mean?

A. dry up B. break down

C. be discovered D. be broken

6. What did Zhou and Liu want to express with their work?

A. Communication is important for everyone.

B. A community’s garbage is full of hidden treasures.

C. Creativity can change your life.

D. Plastics could be reused to reduce pollution.

7. What does the article mainly talk about?

A. An art exhibition held in Beijing.

B. The rise of a new lifestyle.

C. The many uses of plastics.

D. An introduction of two artists and their works.

【答案】4. A    5. B    6. D    7. A

My love for libraries blossomed when I joined the public library.

From the age of 8, I was allowed to walk from my home to the downtown library, housed above the police station.

Once the librarian (图书管理员) gave me my first membership card, I could enjoy a range of books, which started with Little House in the Big Woods.

I was addicted instantly, and this love of libraries and reading would change my life, allowing me to one day create a safe space for high-school kids, too.

By the time I was in high school, I could read the authors that we were studying in class, including Charles Dickens, Mark Twain and Emily Bronte. During the summer months, I got caught up in Gone with the Wind and Anna Karenina.

When I studied English literature at university, I thought it was time to build my own library. For the next 40 years, I continued to collect books. Until one day, I realized that all my books had become a part of the house, like wallpaper.

Toward the end of my teaching career, I became a teacher-librarian at my old high school, where I had first learned English literature. This position resumed (恢复) my love and appreciation for libraries. I never forgot how wonderful it was to be surrounded by books.

I had a generous budget (预算) for my classes, so I searched for novels that would interest my teenage audience and hopefully spark (激发) a love of books. Fantasy, science-fiction, graphic novels – I bought almost any type of book that my students wanted to read.

I bought sofas and comfortable chairs, turning the library into an inclusive (包容的) public space, safe for everyone.

In doing so, I realized that the library isn’t just a place to do research. They are, in fact, places that offer an opportunity to engage with the past, present and future. All that is required is a tiny bit of curiosity. Libraries are places that should be full of life. They help us adjust to the world, and their doors must be kept open to everyone – for free!

8. What can we learn about the author during her school time?

A. She enjoyed literature very much.

B. She didn’t have money to buy books.

C. She didn’t get along well with her parents.

D. She usually stayed home during the summer holidays.

9. Which of the following can best describe the author after she became a librarian?

A. Gentle. B. Devoted. C. Humorous. D. Independent.

10. What does the author think of libraries?

A. They are places mainly used for research.

B. They help people to connect with the world.

C. They should be profitable.

D They should be set up mainly in high schools.

11. What is the writer’s main purpose in writing the article?

A. To tell readers how to make full use of libraries.

B. To tell readers what she learned from books.

C. To show her love for reading and libraries.

D. To show how much she missed being a teacher.

【答案】8. A    9. B    10. B    11. C

D

Is It Worth Buying Organic Food? Organic food, grown without artificial chemicals, is increasingly popular nowadays. Consumers have been willing to pay up to twice more for goods with organic labels (商标). However, if you think paying a little more for organic food gets you a more nutritious and safer product, you might want to save your money. A study led by researchers at Stanford University says that organic products aren't necessarily more nutritious, and they're no less likely to suffer from disease-causing bacteria, either.

The latest results, published in the Annuals of Internal Medicine, suggest that buyers may be wasting their money. "We did not find strong evidence that organic food is more nutritious or healthier," says Dr. Crystal Smith-Spangler from Stanford. "So consumers shouldn't assume that one type of food has a lower risk or is safer."

For their new study, Smith-Spangler and her colleagues conducted a review of two categories of research, including 17 studies that compared health outcomes between consumers of organic against traditional food products, and 223 studies that analyzed the nutritional content of the foods, including key vitamins, minerals and fats.

While the researchers found little difference in nutritional content, they did find that organic fruit and vegetables were 20% less likely to have chemicals remaining on the surfaces. Neither organic nor traditional foods showed levels of chemicals high enough to go beyond food safety standards. And both organic and traditional meats, such as chicken and pork, were equally likely to be harmed by bacteria at very low rates. The researchers did find that organic milk and chicken contained higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids, a healthy fat also found in fish that can reduce the risk of heart disease. However, these nutritional differences were too small, and the researchers were unwilling to make much of them until further studies confirm the trends.

Organic food is produced with fewer chemicals and more natural-growing practices, but that doesn't always translate into a more nutritious or healthier product. The U. S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) states that "whether you buy organic or not, finding the freshest foods available may have the biggest effect on taste." Fresh food is at least as good as anything marketed as organic.

12. The new research questions whether organic food __________.

A. should replace traditional food B. has been overpriced by farmers

C. is grown with less harmful chemicals D. is really more nutritious and healthier

13. Smith-Spangler and her colleagues found that __________.

A. organic food could reduce the risk of heart disease

B. traditional food was grown with more natural methods

C. both organic and traditional food they examined were safe

D. there was not a presence of any forms of bacteria in organic food

14. Which of the following is relatively healthier according to the passage?

A. Organic chicken and pork. B. Organic milk and chicken.

C. Traditional chicken and pork. D. Traditional fruit and vegetables.

15. What is the author’s attitude toward organic food?

A. Sceptical B. Neutral

C. Unconcerned D. Approving

【答案】12. D    13. C    14. B    15. A

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

Some people are so rude. Who sends an e-mail or a text message that just says “Thank you”? Who leaves a voice mail message rather than texts you? ___16___ Don’t these people realize that they’re wasting your time?

Maybe I’m the rude one for not appreciating life’s little courtesies (礼节). But many social norms (规范) just don’t make sense to people drowning in digital communication.

Take the thank-you note. Daniel Post Senning, a coauthor of Emily Post’s Etiquette, asked, “At what point does showing appreciation outweigh the cost?”

___17___ Think of how long it takes to listen to one of those messages. In texts, you don’t have to declare who you are or even say hello. E-mail, too, is slower than a text. The worst are those who leave a voice mail and then send an e-mail message to tell you they left a voice mail.

This isn’t the first time technology has changed our manners. ___18___ Alexander Graham Bell, the inventor, suggested that people say, “Ahoy!” Finally, hello won out, and the victory sped up the greeting’s use in face-to-face communications.

In the age of the smart phone, there is no reason to ask once-acceptable questions about: the weather forecast, a business’s phone number, or directions to a house, a restaurant, or an office, which can be easily found on a digital map. But people still ask these things. ___19___

How to handle these differing standards? Easy: Consider your audience. Some people, especially older ones, appreciate a thank-you message. ___20___ In traditional societies, the young learn from the old. But in modern societies, the old can also learn from the young. Here’s hoping that politeness never goes out of fashion but that time-wasting forms of communication do.

A. Then there is voice mail.

B. Others, like me, want no reply.

C. Who asks for a fact easily found on the Internet?

D. Won’t new technology bring about changes in our daily life?

E. And when you answer, they respond with a thank-you e-mail.

F. Face-to-face communication makes comprehension much easier.

G. When the telephone was invented, people didn’t know how to greet a caller.

【答案】16. C    17. A    18. G    19. E    20. B

All students were excited about the activity, through which most of them traded their idle items for things they really needed.

47. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

“Usual boring day!” This would be the answer from John if somebody asked him how his day was. These days he found everything boring, nothing excited him.

One day he was lying in his room as usual. After a while he felt it was rather hot in his room. Though he did not want to leave his room, he had to. Unwillingly, he left his room and came to the living room which was slightly cool as it had two huge windows.

His young brother was playing with his friend. They were rolling on the floor. He was looking out for the TV remote, but couldn't find it. He got up and searched for it everywhere, but the remote was nowhere. He looked at his brother who was still lying on the floor playing. He asked him, “Where is the remote?” “Under the sofa, ” his brother yelled.

He tried to look through, but it was dark. He put his hand under the sofa. He touched something, grabbed it and took his hand out. Oh! It was a snake in his hand!

After seeing that his brother started to cry, “Snake, snake!” Mom came as soon as she heard his shouting. She too was horrified to see a snake. She was so scared that she even couldn't speak a word. Two kids were trying to hide into each other's back. “What an old trick!” Roman thought and threw it to the kids.

As the snake landed on the floor near to the kids, it started moving from the left side to the right. Only then did John realize that the snake was real, not a toy. He threw the snake to the kids because he thought it was a fake snake and the kids were playing some tricks.

This time Mom almost got a heart attack. Now he was scared too. The snake was only 10 meters away from the kids and was staring at the kids. They even couldn't call a rescue team. There might be some deadly damage before their arrival. There was not much time to think. It was the time for a quick action.

注意：续写词数应为150左右。

Paragraph 1:

As John was farther from the snake, he jumped to the window and grabbed the curtain.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Paragraph 2:

After the rescue team caught and took away the snake, everyone went inside the home.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

【答案】Paragraph 1:

As John was farther from the snake, he jumped to the window and grabbed the curtain. He pulled it so hard that the curtain was torn off immediately. Without hesitation, he threw the curtain at the moving snake and covered it. Then he grabbed the two extremely frightened kids' arms and pushed them out of the room. The moment the kids went out, they started screaming. John went inside the room again and brought his mom out, who was standing still, frozen with fear. Soon after that, he shut the door and called the rescue team.

Paragraph 2:

After the rescue team caught and took away the snake, everyone went inside the home. Seeing the two kids were still scared, John felt guilty and even angry with himself. He went up to the kids, patting them on the head and said, “I'm sorry. I mistook it for a fake one.” After a short pause, he asked in an excited voice, “Shall we play some game together now?” The kids burst into a smile. “What a thrilling day!” John texted his friend later that day.
