Elephant Conservation
Country: Thailand
This is a working vacation at a wildlife centre. Anyone can become a volunteer if he/she agrees to help the elephant keepers with tasks.
Daily tasks
Gather the elephants at 6:30 a.m. Take them to look for food in the forest. Clean the enclosure. Swim with the elephants in the lake in the afternoon. If volunteers want to relax after work, they can watch satellite television.
How this vacation helps
If these elephants hadn’t been rescued, they would still be living on the streets of Bangkok. A rural environment is much better for them than an urban environment where there is lots of pollution.
Gorilla Safari
Countries: Kenya, Rwanda, Uganda
Departures: Aug.—Dec., 2—3 departures per month
Extra: gorilla permit ￡220
If you’re lucky, you’ll see lions, elephants and rhinos on safari. The highlight of the trip is the opportunity to see gorillas in the mountain forests. However, you must be in good health — if a gorilla caught a cold, it would be extremely harmful to its whole family.
How this vacation helps
There are only about 600 mountain gorillas left in the world as human activities have reduced the area where they can live. When you buy a permit, this will pay for the protection of the national park.
Polar Bear Watching
Country: Canada
Departures: sixty trips between Oct. 1—Nov. 19
Every October and November, groups of polar bears gather in Hudson Bay. As they are normally lonely creatures, this is unusual. The bears wait for the ocean to freeze so that they can hunt seals, so this is the perfect opportunity to see them.
How this vacation helps
If the Arctic ice cap melts due to global warming, polar bears will be in danger. We give a share of our profits to the Polar Bears Alive Charity.
Your comment
These awesome bears get all the liquid they need from their food.
21. What will an elephant volunteer do?
A. Take food for elephants at 6:30 a.m.
B. Watch satellite television on elephants.
C. Wash elephants in the lake in the afternoon.
D. Sweep the houses of elephants.
22. What do we know about Gorilla Safari?
A. You can find gorillas in Kenya and Canada.
B. There are about 10 trips to visit gorillas.
C. Visitors need to pay $220 to see 600 gorillas.
D. You might get a cold in the mountain forests.
23. What can we infer from the passage?
A. All three activities need pay money.
B. Visitors can visit the three places in spring.
C. Polar bears don’t need to drink water.
D. The animals mentioned are all in danger.
Li Bai is regarded as the greatest romantic poet of the Tang Dynasty and a representative of the High Tang culture, combination of realistic Northern culture represented by Confucian(儒家的) philosophy and romantic Southern culture represented by Taoist philosophy. But he could neither realize his Confucian ideal to serve the country nor find spiritual freedom in Taoism(道教), so he could only chant poetry and drink wine to drown his sorrow as described by Du Fu in Eight Immortal Drinkers.
Here we see the tragedy(悲剧) of a genuine staying lonely on earth like an angel fallen from Heaven. His poetry is marked by male greatness in the Waterfall in Mount Lu Viewed from Afar, in which we see the mountain cloud from down below and the Silver River, Chinese name for the Milky Way, fall from on high, and heaven and earth seem to merge into one, that is the Chinese way of communion with nature. In his poetry, we can find his love of nature, of freedom, of the people, of his friends, in short, of truth, good and beauty.
Li Bai is best known for the extraordinary imagination and striking Taoist imagery in his poetry, as well as for his great love for liquor. Like Du Fu, he spent much of his life travelling, although in his case it was because his wealth allowed him to, rather than because his poverty forced him. He is said to have drowned in the Yangtze River, having fallen from his boat while drunkenly trying to embrace(拥抱) the reflection of the moon.
24. According to the passage the statements are about Li Bai EXCEPT ________.
A. he made the poems in which complaints and dissatisfaction could be shown
B. he could not put his ability to good use in serving his country at that time
C. he had a depressed mental state and only drunk wine and chanted poetry
D. he is a representative of the combination of realistic and romantic culture
25. From the poem the Waterfall in Mount Lu Viewed from Afar we can see that ______.
A. the Silver River ran down from the high mountain
B. the cloud was like waterfall from high heaven
C. Li Bai’s poems were written down by a man
D. Li Bai loved the beauty of nature badly
26. In his poetry Li Bai mainly described ______.
A. criticism of social realism
B. beautiful nature and feelings
C. relationship between different classes
D. cruelty of the officialdom
27. What is this passage mainly about?
A. The travelling experiences while Li Bai made poems.
B. The differences between romantic and realistic culture.
C. The extraordinary characteristics of Li Bai’s poems.
D. The introduction to a famous poet in Tang Dynasty — Li Bai.
The Internet, search engines, virtual worlds. Have you ever got the feeling that you’re living in a science fiction?
Well, indeed you are.
For more than a century, inventors have been driven to create what sci-fi writers have imagined long before. Buck Rogers inspired a generation of scientists excited about space exploration. Ray Bradbury predicted home-theater systems. William Gibson dreamed up the Internet while writing Neuromancer on a typewriter. Not long after him, Neal Stephenson predicted virtual worlds in his 1991 novel Snow Crash. One of his readers was Philip Rosedale, who loved it so much that he wanted to build a virtual world based on it.
By the late 1990s, technology caught up to the novel, and Rosedale built the virtual world Second Life based on the “Metaverse” from the novel. With 1 million active users, Second Life offers virtual shops, bars, houses and even virtual television studios with virtual celebrities(名人) on virtual talk shows.
“I think it is pretty much what I imagined,” Stephenson says. “I just shoot for the stars, while he makes great things happen.”
But Snow Crash is a dark book. The world in the novel is filled with criminals, violence and environmental problems.
“Science fiction not only puts stars in our hands, it also helps us see the meaning of our work,” Philip Rosedale admits. “It makes it possible for us to see what all of our efforts could eventually lead to.”
In fact, most science fiction authors admit that their work is usually cautionary(警示性的). “While the inventors are rushing ahead and excited about this possibility or that possibility, we’re always standing there warning, ‘Hang on just a second. Let’s think about this a little more’” author William Gibson says. “But most of them will ignore you because they think they already know all things about any given hot topic of the day. But if you can convince them that you’re talking about a planet millions of miles away and hundreds of years in the future or the past, you can actually get them to examine more closely what’s going on right now.”
28. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?
A. Book review. B. Economy.
C. Technology. D. Psychology.
29. Who was inspired by Neal Stephenson’s work?
A. Buck Rogers. B. William Gibson.
C. Ray Bradbury. D. Philip Rosedale.
30. What does Neal Stephenson say about Second Life?
A. He is satisfied with the “Metaverse”.
B. It is a very violent virtual world.
C. It is not based on his fiction strictly.
D. More activities should be added to it.
31. What does William Gibson mean in the last paragraph?
A. Sci-fi writers are much wiser than inventors.
B. Most inventors do not respect sci-fi writers.
C. People can easily get excited about the inventions.
D. Sci-fi can help inventors to think more carefully.
We live in a world where we want everything instantly. In this instant world it is hard to succeed in anything. To achieve your goal, you first have to change your life from instantly to persistently(坚持地).
Persistence is the course you need to set. When you change your expectancy from instantly to persistently you will gain an advantage of time that many do not have. Time works against those who live instantly. Opportunities are never seen because when something doesn’t happen instantly people move on to the next thing on their list and consider the current goal a failure.
Persistent people have the advantage of time. It allows them to step back, observe and assess the progress of the goal they are pursuing. Some things take longer to develop; some just need to be left there for a while to find their own way.
When you live instantly you gain and lose instantly. Many times, you do not know how you got there or how to get back because it is not repeatable. When you live persistently you learn how things work, how to correct a plan and how to guide it to make it successful. You do not panic because you know you have more than enough time.
Slow down and take time to enjoy the journey. If what you are doing is not fun then stop doing it and do something else.
Everything you do should be in pursuit of a better tomorrow than you had yesterday. You should take time to develop your abilities to reach your goals. Do not get discouraged just because your success is not instant.
Celebrate each step along the way. People who live instantly don’t take time to appreciate what they have accomplished. They are just looking for the next thing that they can get instantly.
You must be grateful for the time it takes to reach your goal. Persistence will get you there if you really want to get there.
32. Why will people who want things instantly fail in many things?
A. They don’t stick to their goal.
B. They often change their lifestyle.
C. They want greater efficiency.
D. They tend to pursue a higher target.
33. What’s the main advantage persistent people have over instant people?
A. The willpower. B. A plan.
C. An idea. D. An opportunity.
34. According to the text, persistent people ________.
A. work slower than instant people
B. will get rewarded for their efforts
C. focus more on the result
D. don’t appreciate what they have done
35. What’s the writer’s main purpose of writing the text?
A. To praise those who have succeeded.
B. To suggest learning the art of persistence.
C. To blame those who live instantly.
D. To persuade people to live happily.
五、七选五
Is Fresh Air Really Good for You?
We all grew up hearing people tell us to “go out and get some fresh air.” ___36___ According to recent studies，the answer is a big YES, if the air quality in your camping area is good.
___37___ If the air you’re breathing is clean — which it would be if you’re away from the smog of cities — then the air is filled with life-giving, energizing oxygen.

Recently, people have begun studying the connection between the natural world and healing(治愈). ___38___ In these places patients can go to be near nature during their recovery. It turns out that just looking at green, growing things can reduce stress, lower blood pressure, and put people into a better mood(情绪). Greenery is good for us. Hospital patients who see tree branches out their window are likely to recover at a faster rate than patients who see buildings or sky instead. ___39___ It gives us a great feeling of peace.
___40___ While the sun’s rays can age and harm our skin, they also give is beneficial Vitamin D. To make sure you get enough Vitamin D — but still protect your skin — put on sunscreen right as you head outside. It takes sunscreen about fifteen minutes to start working, and that’s plenty of time for your skin to absorb a day’s worth of Vitamin D.
A. Being in nature refreshes us.
B. But is fresh air really as good for you as your mother always said?
C. Fresh air cleans our lungs.
D. So what are you waiting for?

Have you ever had to overcome an extreme challenge in your life?
My teenage years had been insane. From schoolwork to athletics, I had always been running around. Everything was so difficult.
Throughout my hectic teenage years I have been faced with many extreme challenges that have required extreme focus and hard work to overcome. If it hadn’t been for hard work, none of these challenges that I faced would have been conquered.
Two years ago, when I was a freshman in high school, I dealt with an extremely significant injury. This took place in my tennis tournament in January. In the climax of my match, I jolted my back to the left and soon after felt a sharp, painful shock run through my spine. I knew at that difficult moment I seriously injured my back. I was rushed off the court and my parents made an appointment with an orthopedist(矫形外科医生) for the next morning.
I walked into the office extremely nervous and suffering from excruciating pain. My tennis season for school started in three months and I absolutely needed to build up the strength.
After about twenty minutes of waiting in the office, which felt like an eternity，the doctor walked in to examine my Xrays. With a sorrowful face, the doctor looked into mine and my mother’s eyes and said, “There is a 50/50 chance that Lucas will be able to participate in this years tennis season. Lucas broke his L5 vertebrae in his lower back.” My heart dropped and I felt a sadness come over me. The doctor said that I would be sitting out of physical activity for two and a half to three months.
Those three months were the longest three months of my life. I was so eager to get back to practices for the season. Every day, I would think about how it was going to be when I was fully healthy. I asked myself, “Am I going to be out of shape? Should I even play this year? I probably won’t have a successful season.”
From that dreadful day on, I decided that I was going to put in the work to be back in top form and have a successful season.
Paragraph 1:
After I got the “all clear” from my orthopedist I was going to get to work.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
My hard work proved to be very effective.

M: Jane, can you meet us for dinner this Friday? There’s a great new Indian restaurant that just opened.
W: I actually have dinner plans with my high school classmates this Friday. What about this Sunday?
M: I will have to watch my sister’s dog while she’s out of town.
Text 2
M: My secretary made a reservation for me for the 14th of January.
W: For how many nights?
M: Six. But if my wife comes, I’ll stay for two more nights.
Text 3
W: Hello, sir. I need to see your passports, please. What is your purpose of entering the country?
M: I’m just driving the family to see their aunt, who lives in Seattle. We’ll be coming back on Sunday night.
Text 4
W: Would it be OK to have the meeting at 11 o’clock on Tuesday morning?
M: That’s fine, but it has to be finished by 1:00 because I have a flight to catch at 3:00.
W: OK, got it.
Text 5
W: Mr. Black is very good at Spanish and now he is beginning to study French.
M: Yeah. And he also knows something of Chinese.
Text 6
M: Hello. Can I help you?
W: I hope so. I was sitting in that restaurant over there and, when I’d finished my meal, I forgot to pick up my backpack. Has anyone handed it in as lost property?
M: What does it look like?
W: It’s quite small. And it’s made of plastic. It’s not leather or anything.
M: Has it got a pattern on it?
W: No. It’s gray, with a handkerchief tied to it.
M: Well, you’re in luck. This one was handed in by the restaurant staff ten minutes ago.
Text 7
W: Are you OK, John?
M: Yeah, just clearing out this cupboard, Emily. It’s full of old junk.
W: Ooh, what a lot of stuff. Is that a... gorilla arm?
M: Yes! Ah... that was a fun project.
W: Interesting.
M: Ooh, this is the microphone I recorded my first masterpiece with. Bit dusty. I wonder if it still works. Or maybe I should sell it. Who would buy it?
W: Why don’t you freecycle it?
M: Oh, that’s a good idea. I can exchange a microphone for a bicycle, right?
W: No. You give it away. You give it to someone for free. It’s another way of recycling. There are websites that help match you to people who want these things.
M: Free... recycle. Freecycle. Yes, I like the idea. But I would like a free bicycle even more!
Text 8
M: Helen, what do you think of this advertisement in today’s newspaper?
W: Didn’t I tell you? It was also in last week’s newspaper. I saw it there and so I inquired by email. I had a phone call today from the company and I’ve got an interview tomorrow.
M: That’s exciting. Do you think you’ve got the job?
W: Well, they seemed very eager on the phone. I do think that they’ll probably offer me the job.
M: So, you’re going to California?
W: I didn’t say that. It would be hard work looking after two boys and three girls, even though living in California would probably be great fun. I may be offered the job, but I won’t take the job unless I can get a proper salary.
Text 9
W: Mr. Jones, thanks for making time for me today. Many of the students are worried about how close the class trip is to final exams. As class monitor, they asked me to speak with you to work out a new plan that we can all follow.
M: Ella, your concerns are reasonable. But all the teachers have met to talk about the trip and exams. We all agree that there is a large amount of work for students to do. However, we are confident that as long as you all work together with everyone doing their part, there will be enough time.
W: But Mr. Jones, they’re worried about having to do the group research project and to study for exams in such a short time.
M: Remember last term when half of your classmates waited until the last week to start the International Studies research paper? What a disaster! I imagine they remember it as well. You know we always talk about how good habits lead to success. Here is another chance to practice that. There will be no changes to the schedule.
W: Yes, I remember that. I’ll encourage them to get started early and work together.
Text 10
M: Hi, fellow workers. I have some surprising news to report. I have just come from the house agency and it seems that the owner of this place has decided not to continue to rent the house after November, sorry, I’m wrong, after December of this year. Unfortunately, that means that Burnside Cafe will have to move. Now I know that we have been at this place for over 20 years and the move will certainly raise a number of challenges. First, I’m going to have to find a suitable new place. Of course I’ll be looking to keep us in the same area, hopefully somewhere right here in this neighborhood. I hope I can get that done by September. After finding a suitable place, the move itself will also be a headache. There are so many things that could go wrong. But all those difficulties can be overcome. Although we’ll face some tough times over the next few months, I know I can look forward to everyone’s complete cooperation. With your help, Burnside Cafe can reopen better than ever.
【答案】21. D 22. B 23. C
【解析】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍3个动物保护区，介绍地点、时间、志愿者的任务、动物们的习性和游客们需要注意的事项。
1. 细节理解题。根据Elephant Conservation部分“Gather the elephants at 6:30 a.m. Take them to look for food in the forest. Clean the enclosure. Swim with the elephants in the lake in the afternoon.（早上6点30分聚集大象，带他们在森林里寻找食物。打扫象圈。下午与湖中的大象一起游泳。）”可知，大象志愿者需要聚集大象（在早上6点30）、带着大象找食物、打扫象圈、和大象一起游泳。D项Sweep the houses of elephants.（打扫大象的房子。）正确，故选D。
2. 细节理解题。根据Gorilla Safari部分“Countries: Kenya, Rwanda, Uganda（国家：肯尼亚、卢旺达、乌干达）”可知，可以在肯尼亚、卢旺达、乌干达看大猩猩，A项错误。根据“Departures: Aug.—Dec., 2—3 departures per month（出发时间：8月至12月，每月2至3次。）”可知，看大猩猩的旅程大约有10至15次，B项正确。根据“Extra: gorilla permit ￡220（额外费用：大猩猩许可证，220英镑）”可知，游客想要看大猩猩，需要支付220英镑，C项错误。根据“However, you must be in good health — if a gorilla caught a cold, it would be extremely harmful to its whole family.（但是，你必须身体健康。如果大猩猩感冒，它将对整个猩猩家族造成极大的伤害。）”可知，游客需要注意自己是否感冒，不要传染给猩猩。文章并未提及游客可能会在山林里感冒，D项错误。故选B。
3. 推理判断题。根据Polar Bear Watching部分“These awesome bears get all the liquid they need from their food.（这些令人敬畏的熊从食物中获取所需的所有液体。）”可知，北极熊可以从食物中获取所需的所有液体，故推知北极熊不需要喝水，故选C。
【答案】24. A 25. D 26. B 27. D
【解析】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了唐代诗人李白的情况、诗歌特点以及个人喜好和去世原因。
1. 细节理解题。根据第一段“Li Bai is regarded as the greatest romantic poet of the Tang Dynasty and a representative of the High Tang culture, combination of realistic Northern culture represented by Confucian philosophy and romantic Southern culture represented by Taoist philosophy. But he could neither realize his Confucian ideal to serve the country nor find spiritual freedom in Taoism, so he could only chant poetry and drink wine to drown his sorrow as described by Du Fu in Eight Immortal Drinkers.（李白被认为是唐代最伟大的浪漫主义诗人，是盛唐文化的代表，融合了以儒家哲学为代表的现实主义北方文化和以道家哲学为代表的浪漫主义南方文化。但他既无法实现儒家的报国理想，也无法在道家中找到精神自由，只能吟诗饮酒，如杜甫在《饮中八仙歌》中所描述的那样，借酒消愁。）”可知，李白是现实主义与浪漫主义文化相结合的代表人物，当时他不能很好地利用自己的才能为国家服务，他情绪低落、只能饮酒吟诗，并未提及李白创作的诗歌表达抱怨和不满。故选A项。
2. 细节理解题。根据第二段“His poetry is marked by male greatness in the Waterfall in Mount Lu Viewed from Afar, in which we see the mountain cloud from down below and the Silver River, Chinese name for the Milky Way, fall from on high, and heaven and earth seem to merge into one, that is the Chinese way of communion with nature. In his poetry, we can find his love of nature, of freedom, of the people, of his friends, in short, of truth, good and beauty.（他的诗以《望庐山瀑布》中的阳刚伟大为标志，在诗中，我们从山下看到山上的云，银河从高处落下，天地似乎合二为一，这就是中国人与自然的交融之道。在他的诗歌中，我们可以找到他对自然、自由、人民、朋友的爱，简言之，对真善美的爱。）”可知，在《望庐山瀑布》这首诗中，李白描绘了壮阔的大自然，可以看出李白酷爱自然之美。故选D项。
3. 细节理解题。根据第二段“In his poetry, we can find his love of nature, of freedom, of the people, of his friends, in short, of truth, good and beauty.（在他的诗歌中，我们可以找到他对自然的爱，对自由、人民、朋友的爱，简言之，对真、善、美的爱。）”可知，李白在他的诗歌中主要描写了美丽的自然和情感。故选B项。
4. 概括大意题。根据第一段“Li Bai is regarded as the greatest romantic poet of the Tang Dynasty and a representative of the High Tang culture,（李白被认为是唐代最伟大的浪漫主义诗人，是盛唐文化的代表。）”以及文章内容可知，本文主要介绍了唐代诗人李白的情况、诗歌特点以及个人喜好和去世原因，是对唐代著名诗人李白的介绍。故选D项。
【答案】28. C 29. D 30. A 31. D

2. 细节理解题。根据第三段“Not long after him, Neal Stephenson predicted virtual worlds in his 1991 novel Snow Crash.

3. 细节理解题。根据第五段“‘I think it is pretty much what I imagined,’ Stephenson says. ‘I just shoot for the stars, while he makes great things happen.’（斯蒂芬森说：“我认为这和我想象的差不多。”“我只是在做白日梦，而他却让伟大的事情发生。”）”可知，斯蒂芬森认为虚拟世界“第二人生”和他的设想很吻合，他对此感到很满意。故选A项。
4. 推理判断题。根据最后一段“While the inventors are rushing ahead and excited about this possibility or that possibility, we’re always standing there warning,（当发明家们争先恐后地为这种或那种可能性感到兴奋时，我们总是站在那里警告。）”以及“But if you can convince them that you’re talking about a planet millions of miles away and hundreds of years in the future or the past, you can actually get them to examine more closely what’s going on right now.（但如果你能使他们相信，你谈论的是一个数百万英里之外、数百年后的未来或过去的行星，你实际上可以让他们更认真地研究现在正在发生的事情。）”可知，科幻作品的作者会对发明家发出警告，能让他们更仔细地研究现在正在发生的事情，即科幻作品可以帮助发明家更认真地思考。故选D项。

2. 细节理解题。第二段讲到，那些想马上就成功的人看到事情没有马上发生就立马转到另一件事上去了。他们缺少对自己的目标的坚持。而那些坚持不懈的人的主要优点就在于他们的坚持，有毅力。故选A项。
3. 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Persistence will get you there if you really want to get there.（如果你真的想成功，坚持会让你成功。）可知，坚持不懈的人会成功，他们所付出的时间和努力最终会得到回报。故选C项。

【解析】这是一篇记叙文。印度男孩Molai16岁时，一场洪水袭击了他住的村庄，树木受损导致动物在炎热的旱季失去了遮蔽，很多鸟儿离开，蛇类数量减少。Molai决定改变这一切，尽管森林部门说那些地方种不出东西来，Molai还是在附近找到了一个小岛，开始独自种树。他37年的努力造就了1360英亩的自然生长土地，这些土地成为许多植物和动物的家园。
1. 考查名词词义辨析。句意：这个村庄位于一些湿地附近，那里成了他的第二个家。A. home家；B. trend趋势；C. dream梦想；D. choice选择。根据前一句“Molai grew up in a tiny village in India.（Molai在印度的一个小村庄长大。）”，联系空前的second可知，村庄是他的家，村庄附近的湿地是他的第二个“家（home）”。故选A项。
2. 考查名词词义辨析。句意：他从小就在那里了解到了大自然的价值和美丽。A. culture文化；B. youth青春；C. nature自然界；D. reform改革。根据空前的value and beauty可知，湿地展现了“大自然”的价值和美。故选C项。

14. 考查动词词义辨析。句意：Molai在每棵树苗的顶端都搭建了一个竹子平台，在那里他放置了带有小洞的陶罐来收集雨水。A. polish擦亮；B. urge敦促；C. collect收集；D. purify使纯净。陶罐是用来盛水的，Molai将陶罐放到竹子平台上“收集（collect）”雨水。故选C项。

Elephant Conservation
Country: Thailand
This is a working vacation at a wildlife centre. Anyone can become a volunteer if he/she agrees to help the elephant keepers with tasks.
Daily tasks
Gather the elephants at 6:30 a.m. Take them to look for food in the forest. Clean the enclosure. Swim with the elephants in the lake in the afternoon. If volunteers want to relax after work, they can watch satellite television.
How this vacation helps
If these elephants hadn’t been rescued, they would still be living on the streets of Bangkok. A rural environment is much better for them than an urban environment where there is lots of pollution.
Gorilla Safari
Countries: Kenya, Rwanda, Uganda
Departures: Aug.—Dec., 2—3 departures per month
Extra: gorilla permit ￡220
If you’re lucky, you’ll see lions, elephants and rhinos on safari. The highlight of the trip is the opportunity to see gorillas in the mountain forests. However, you must be in good health — if a gorilla caught a cold, it would be extremely harmful to its whole family.
How this vacation helps
There are only about 600 mountain gorillas left in the world as human activities have reduced the area where they can live. When you buy a permit, this will pay for the protection of the national park.
Polar Bear Watching
Country: Canada
Departures: sixty trips between Oct. 1—Nov. 19
Every October and November, groups of polar bears gather in Hudson Bay. As they are normally lonely creatures, this is unusual. The bears wait for the ocean to freeze so that they can hunt seals, so this is the perfect opportunity to see them.
How this vacation helps
If the Arctic ice cap melts due to global warming, polar bears will be in danger. We give a share of our profits to the Polar Bears Alive Charity.
Your comment
These awesome bears get all the liquid they need from their food.
21. What will an elephant volunteer do?
A. Take food for elephants at 6:30 a.m.
B. Watch satellite television on elephants.
C. Wash elephants in the lake in the afternoon.
D. Sweep the houses of elephants.
22. What do we know about Gorilla Safari?
A. You can find gorillas in Kenya and Canada.
B. There are about 10 trips to visit gorillas.
C. Visitors need to pay $220 to see 600 gorillas.
D. You might get a cold in the mountain forests.
23. What can we infer from the passage?
A. All three activities need pay money.
B. Visitors can visit the three places in spring.
C. Polar bears don’t need to drink water.
D. The animals mentioned are all in danger.
Li Bai is regarded as the greatest romantic poet of the Tang Dynasty and a representative of the High Tang culture, combination of realistic Northern culture represented by Confucian(儒家的) philosophy and romantic Southern culture represented by Taoist philosophy. But he could neither realize his Confucian ideal to serve the country nor find spiritual freedom in Taoism(道教), so he could only chant poetry and drink wine to drown his sorrow as described by Du Fu in Eight Immortal Drinkers.
Here we see the tragedy(悲剧) of a genuine staying lonely on earth like an angel fallen from Heaven. His poetry is marked by male greatness in the Waterfall in Mount Lu Viewed from Afar, in which we see the mountain cloud from down below and the Silver River, Chinese name for the Milky Way, fall from on high, and heaven and earth seem to merge into one, that is the Chinese way of communion with nature. In his poetry, we can find his love of nature, of freedom, of the people, of his friends, in short, of truth, good and beauty.
Li Bai is best known for the extraordinary imagination and striking Taoist imagery in his poetry, as well as for his great love for liquor. Like Du Fu, he spent much of his life travelling, although in his case it was because his wealth allowed him to, rather than because his poverty forced him. He is said to have drowned in the Yangtze River, having fallen from his boat while drunkenly trying to embrace(拥抱) the reflection of the moon.

The Internet, search engines, virtual worlds. Have you ever got the feeling that you’re living in a science fiction?
Well, indeed you are.
For more than a century, inventors have been driven to create what sci-fi writers have imagined long before. Buck Rogers inspired a generation of scientists excited about space exploration. Ray Bradbury predicted home-theater systems. William Gibson dreamed up the Internet while writing Neuromancer on a typewriter. Not long after him, Neal Stephenson predicted virtual worlds in his 1991 novel Snow Crash. One of his readers was Philip Rosedale, who loved it so much that he wanted to build a virtual world based on it.
By the late 1990s, technology caught up to the novel, and Rosedale built the virtual world Second Life based on the “Metaverse” from the novel. With 1 million active users, Second Life offers virtual shops, bars, houses and even virtual television studios with virtual celebrities(名人) on virtual talk shows.
“I think it is pretty much what I imagined,” Stephenson says. “I just shoot for the stars, while he makes great things happen.”
But Snow Crash is a dark book. The world in the novel is filled with criminals, violence and environmental problems.
“Science fiction not only puts stars in our hands, it also helps us see the meaning of our work,” Philip Rosedale admits. “It makes it possible for us to see what all of our efforts could eventually lead to.”
In fact, most science fiction authors admit that their work is usually cautionary(警示性的). “While the inventors are rushing ahead and excited about this possibility or that possibility, we’re always standing there warning, ‘Hang on just a second. Let’s think about this a little more’” author William Gibson says. “But most of them will ignore you because they think they already know all things about any given hot topic of the day. But if you can convince them that you’re talking about a planet millions of miles away and hundreds of years in the future or the past, you can actually get them to examine more closely what’s going on right now.”
28. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?
A. Book review. B. Economy.
C. Technology. D. Psychology.
29. Who was inspired by Neal Stephenson’s work?
A. Buck Rogers. B. William Gibson.
C. Ray Bradbury. D. Philip Rosedale.
30. What does Neal Stephenson say about Second Life?
A. He is satisfied with the “Metaverse”.
B. It is a very violent virtual world.
C. It is not based on his fiction strictly.
D. More activities should be added to it.
31. What does William Gibson mean in the last paragraph?
A. Sci-fi writers are much wiser than inventors.
B. Most inventors do not respect sci-fi writers.
C. People can easily get excited about the inventions.
D. Sci-fi can help inventors to think more carefully.
We live in a world where we want everything instantly. In this instant world it is hard to succeed in anything. To achieve your goal, you first have to change your life from instantly to persistently(坚持地).
Persistence is the course you need to set. When you change your expectancy from instantly to persistently you will gain an advantage of time that many do not have. Time works against those who live instantly. Opportunities are never seen because when something doesn’t happen instantly people move on to the next thing on their list and consider the current goal a failure.
Persistent people have the advantage of time. It allows them to step back, observe and assess the progress of the goal they are pursuing. Some things take longer to develop; some just need to be left there for a while to find their own way.
When you live instantly you gain and lose instantly. Many times, you do not know how you got there or how to get back because it is not repeatable. When you live persistently you learn how things work, how to correct a plan and how to guide it to make it successful. You do not panic because you know you have more than enough time.
Slow down and take time to enjoy the journey. If what you are doing is not fun then stop doing it and do something else.
Everything you do should be in pursuit of a better tomorrow than you had yesterday. You should take time to develop your abilities to reach your goals. Do not get discouraged just because your success is not instant.
Celebrate each step along the way. People who live instantly don’t take time to appreciate what they have accomplished. They are just looking for the next thing that they can get instantly.
You must be grateful for the time it takes to reach your goal. Persistence will get you there if you really want to get there.
32. Why will people who want things instantly fail in many things?
A. They don’t stick to their goal.
B. They often change their lifestyle.
C. They want greater efficiency.
D. They tend to pursue a higher target.
33. What’s the main advantage persistent people have over instant people?
A. The willpower. B. A plan.
C. An idea. D. An opportunity.
34. According to the text, persistent people ________.
A. work slower than instant people
B. will get rewarded for their efforts
C. focus more on the result
D. don’t appreciate what they have done
35. What’s the writer’s main purpose of writing the text?
A. To praise those who have succeeded.
B. To suggest learning the art of persistence.
C. To blame those who live instantly.
D. To persuade people to live happily.

Have you ever had to overcome an extreme challenge in your life?
My teenage years had been insane. From schoolwork to athletics, I had always been running around. Everything was so difficult.
Throughout my hectic teenage years I have been faced with many extreme challenges that have required extreme focus and hard work to overcome. If it hadn’t been for hard work, none of these challenges that I faced would have been conquered.
Two years ago, when I was a freshman in high school, I dealt with an extremely significant injury. This took place in my tennis tournament in January. In the climax of my match, I jolted my back to the left and soon after felt a sharp, painful shock run through my spine. I knew at that difficult moment I seriously injured my back. I was rushed off the court and my parents made an appointment with an orthopedist(矫形外科医生) for the next morning.
I walked into the office extremely nervous and suffering from excruciating pain. My tennis season for school started in three months and I absolutely needed to build up the strength.
After about twenty minutes of waiting in the office, which felt like an eternity，the doctor walked in to examine my Xrays. With a sorrowful face, the doctor looked into mine and my mother’s eyes and said, “There is a 50/50 chance that Lucas will be able to participate in this years tennis season. Lucas broke his L5 vertebrae in his lower back.” My heart dropped and I felt a sadness come over me. The doctor said that I would be sitting out of physical activity for two and a half to three months.
Those three months were the longest three months of my life. I was so eager to get back to practices for the season. Every day, I would think about how it was going to be when I was fully healthy. I asked myself, “Am I going to be out of shape? Should I even play this year? I probably won’t have a successful season.”
From that dreadful day on, I decided that I was going to put in the work to be back in top form and have a successful season.
Paragraph 1:
After I got the “all clear” from my orthopedist I was going to get to work.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
My hard work proved to be very effective.

W: I hope so. I was sitting in that restaurant over there and, when I’d finished my meal, I forgot to pick up my backpack. Has anyone handed it in as lost property?
M: What does it look like?
W: It’s quite small. And it’s made of plastic. It’s not leather or anything.

M: That’s exciting. Do you think you’ve got the job?
W: Well, they seemed very eager on the phone. I do think that they’ll probably offer me the job.
M: So, you’re going to California?
W: I didn’t say that. It would be hard work looking after two boys and three girls, even though living in California would probably be great fun. I may be offered the job, but I won’t take the job unless I can get a proper salary.

W: Mr. Jones, thanks for making time for me today. Many of the students are worried about how close the class trip is to final exams. As class monitor, they asked me to speak with you to work out a new plan that we can all follow.

W: But Mr. Jones, they’re worried about having to do the group research project and to study for exams in such a short time.
M: Remember last term when half of your classmates waited until the last week to start the International Studies research paper? What a disaster! I imagine they remember it as well. You know we always talk about how good habits lead to success. Here is another chance to practice that. There will be no changes to the schedule.

M: Hi, fellow workers. I have some surprising news to report. I have just come from the house agency and it seems that the owner of this place has decided not to continue to rent the house after November, sorry, I’m wrong, after December of this year. Unfortunately, that means that Burnside Cafe will have to move. Now I know that we have been at this place for over 20 years and the move will certainly raise a number of challenges. First, I’m going to have to find a suitable new place. Of course I’ll be looking to keep us in the same area, hopefully somewhere right here in this neighborhood. I hope I can get that done by September. After finding a suitable place, the move itself will also be a headache. There are so many things that could go wrong. But all those difficulties can be overcome. Although we’ll face some tough times over the next few months, I know I can look forward to everyone’s complete cooperation. With your help, Burnside Cafe can reopen better than ever.

【解析】这是一篇记叙文。印度男孩Molai16岁时，一场洪水袭击了他住的村庄，树木受损导致动物在炎热的旱季失去了遮蔽，很多鸟儿离开，蛇类数量减少。Molai决定改变这一切，尽管森林部门说那些地方种不出东西来，Molai还是在附近找到了一个小岛，开始独自种树。他37年的努力造就了1360英亩的自然生长土地，这些土地成为许多植物和动物的家园。
1. 考查名词词义辨析。句意：这个村庄位于一些湿地附近，那里成了他的第二个家。A. home家；B. trend趋势；C. dream梦想；D. choice选择。根据前一句“Molai grew up in a tiny village in India.（Molai在印度的一个小村庄长大。）”，联系空前的second可知，村庄是他的家，村庄附近的湿地是他的第二个“家（home）”。故选A项。
2. 考查名词词义辨析。句意：他从小就在那里了解到了大自然的价值和美丽。A. culture文化；B. youth青春；C. nature自然界；D. reform改革。根据空前的value and beauty可知，湿地展现了“大自然”的价值和美。故选C项。

5. 考查副词词义辨析。句意：此外，蛇的数量也减少了。A. However然而；B. Besides此外；C. Therefore因此；D. Otherwise否则。根据句末的as well可知，洪水不仅导致很多鸟类离开，“而且（Besides）”也导致蛇的数量减少，前后为顺接关系。故选B项。

Guarding守卫。根据下文“Molai built at the ______ of each sapling(幼树) a bamboo platform, where he placed earthen pots with small holes to ______ rainwater. The water would then drip(滴落) on the plants below.（Molai在每棵树苗的顶端都搭建了一个竹子平台，在那里他放置了带有小洞的陶罐来收集雨水。然后，水就会滴到下面的植物上。）”可知，Molai想尽办法收集雨水，再结合该句中的缺水的“the dry season”可知，在旱季给幼苗“浇水（Watering）”很难。故选A项。
12. 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：对一个独自的男孩来说，在旱季给幼苗浇水是很困难的。A. illegal非法的；B. tough困难的；C. fantastic极好的；D. innocent天真的。根据该段后半部分的叙述可知，旱季缺水，Molai只能想尽办法收集雨水，给幼苗浇水很“难（tough）”。故选B项。

After I got the “all clear” from my orthopedist I was going to get to work. Practices were going to start in two weeks and I was determined to get back on the court. My hunger for success made me play and work out for two hours every day before the season. Through practices, I would hit the gym and try to build up the strength that I had before the injury.
Paragraph 2:
My hard work proved to be very effective. I had the most successful season of my career. I made it to the finals. Although I truly wanted to win, I knew that it was a great accomplishment for me to be in that position even not in the first place. The injury was almost a good thing because I proved to myself that I am capable of achieving goals that I strive for, through hard work of course. That season was by far the most rewarding season of my career. I felt so accomplished at the end of the season. Hard work always pays off.
