Spring is just around the corner, but if you are tired of sunflowers, tulips (郁金香) and other standard gardens, why not head to one of these mysterious and wonderful botanical gardens?

Butchart Gardens, British Columbia, Canada

One of the rarest flowers you'll find at Butchart Gardens is the Meconopsis, otherwise known as the Tibetan blue poppy. The most impressive flowers can be found in the borders, where you'll find over one million bedding plants. And although the gardens are famous for their perennials (多年生植物), 300,000 spring-flowering plants are grown every year, and over 900 varieties of plants are grown for the summer gardens alone.

Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden, Cape Town, South Africa

Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden is one of a handful of botanic gardens to grow only native plants. Some of the most popular varieties include the king protea, which produces enormous flowers between autumn and summer, and the rare silver tree, a silky-leaved plant, which experts believe could become extinct in the next 50 years.

Denver Botanic Gardens, Colorado, US

Once native to South Africa these oddly-named flowers are famously drought-hardy, making them perfect for this part of North America. This garden is one of the few to focus on draught-tolerant plants from Colorado and the grasslands of Africa, Mongolia and Argentina. In fact, Colorado is home to nine species of endangered plant, and several can be found here.

Arctic-Alpine Botanic Garden Tromso, Norway

Visit the world's northernmost botanical garden and you'll find a breathtaking collection of plants from the worlds polar and mountainous regions including, in the Himalaya section, the rare giant Tibetan blue poppy, with its huge flowers and metre-high stem. You'll also see the Wilander buttercup, which can only be found in the quite terrible areas of Svalbard's unforgiving icy islands.

21. Which botanical garden only plants local species?

22. Which is typical of the Tibetan blue poppy?

23. What is the purpose of the text?

                            B

I never wanted to go to kindergarten, or leave home at all. I spent my first five years within the loving arms of my family, and when the time came for me to begin school at PS 116 in Brooklyn, I was sure that no one would keep me safe. But I was so lucky to meet Mrs. Heyman. Not only did she make me feel safe, she let me know that I was special.

Kindergarten was a fearful experience for me. I was a shy child who hated being separated from my mommy. Mrs. Heyman was a kind and patient teacher who tried to get me to stop crying each morning after I asked for one last kiss.

She would distract (转移··的注意力) me with pens and colorful paper and by playing beautiful music. It seemed the feeling of being an artist distracted me from my separation unhappiness, allowing me to attend class as the tears ran down my face. I also loved to sing and dance, and performed the Virginia reel --- a kind of dance --- when the principal, Mr. Barton, visited our class.

Mr. Barton was an old, serious man who liked to walk behind children who behaved badly and shout, “Behave!” I was afraid of being shouted at by him, and practiced the dance with my classmates until Mrs. Heyman told us we were perfect.

Unluckily, I was so nervous before Mr. Barton's visit that I wet myself. Mrs. Heyman calmly took me to the bathroom and told me to change into new clothes, drying my tears all the while, never showing judgment.

As I performed, Mr. Barton cheered. Pleased, I bravely stepped up to the front of the classroom and threw kisses in Mrs. Heyman's direction.

I was lucky to have her again for the first grade, and learned to love school and learning. She was right about living my life without long-lasting attention from my mommy.

24. What was the author's life like before he went to kindergarten?

25. How did Mrs. Heyman draw the author's attention away from separation unhappiness?

26. What can be learned about Mr. Barton?

27. What happened before the author's performance?

                            C

One day about eight years ago in the departure lounge (休息室) of a flight from New York's LaGuardia airport to O’Hare in Chicago, I found a young boy in tears and his mother at his side also appeared upset, I walked to them and invited them to our VIP lounge.

As it turned out, the boy, Miles and his mom were returning to their home in Kansas City. Miles has had some health problems. Though he had received more than thirty operations in a Jewish Hospital in New York, he would be back for more.

Miles enjoyed spending his time in our VIP lounge looking at the entire wall filled with the pictures of many celebrities who often came to our office. We soon added Miles' picture to the wall among those celebrities.

Among the celebrities, Miles like the country singer Garth Brooks best. Miles would just sit and stare at Garth's picture.

One day, Mr. Brooks was waiting in the lounge for his flight. As he looked at the collection of photographs, Garth asked about the youngster with the big smile. We told him about Miles. We also told him how much Miles loved and respected him. He nodded and left.

About six months later, Garth was going to be performing in Kansas City and he asked our workers to help him get in touch with the family. He wanted Miles to be his guest. That evening, not only did Miles sit in the front row, but he and Garth also had a private meeting after the performance.

Although Miles would receive many more treatments after that special evening, his smile greeted us with every following visit. The face of a sick boy was changed by the joy of a stranger.

28. What does the author probably do?

29. What did Miles enjoy doing in the VIP lounge?

30. Which words can best describe Garth Brooks?

31. What can be the best title for the text?

                            D

Language learning apps are very popular now and offer opportunities to learn vocabulary and practice grammar. But there has been a discussion about just how effective such apps can be.

Among the most popular apps are Duolingo and Busuu. A former research found positive results on the use of them. But it mainly concentrated on studies with learners who had signed up for language courses and these apps worked as an after-class support, so the results were not always reliable. A recent study of 4,095 Busuu users has been carried out to find out if users can actually learn a language with an app.

Busuu provides learning materials for 12 different languages. It offers special models where some contents are ready for use for free while some contents are not. We find that its users are an even mix of men and women. More than half consider themselves to be at the beginner level because there is a reduction in users as their language levels go up. Most people use the app because of personal interest, or because they want to study or live abroad. Female users are likely to use it less often but for longer periods of time than male users.

Feedback in the app is highly thought of. More than 92% of the users say that the app has met their expectations and 86% consider the app as very good or good. In fact, more than 80% of the users surveyed strongly agree that using the app has helped them improve their knowledge of the language they are learning.

Besides, language learning apps also create an environment where mistakes are only known to the users, and this can address the performance nervousness that many learners suffer from when asked to speak a foreign language. So language teachers should encourage their students to use them to do the grammar work, leaving precious class time for more language communication.

32. What's the reason why the results of the former research weren't always reliable?

33. What can we learn about the app Busuu from the text?

34. What does the underlined word “address” in the last paragraph mean?

35. What is the main idea of the text?

A. Students should be required to use apps for homework after class.

B. Language learning apps are very popular with most language teachers.

C. Students won’t suffer nervousness in learning languages by using Busuu.

D. Language learning apps are effective and satisfactory to language learners.

Ways to make a great first impression

You've heard it a million times already, but it really does take but a few seconds to make that al-important first impression (印象). Here are some easy ways for you to impress your classmates or teachers.

   36 

Before you shake hands with somebody, make sure that your hands are clean. The handshake should not be too strong or weak. Most people use their right hands, unless they have a reason to use the left.   37 

 Be on time

When meeting someone for the first time, arriving on time is as important as breathing. You may have an excuse, but that will leave the person who hardly knows you with a bad impression.   38   It's better to be hanging around the place than be stuck in traffic.

 Introduce yourself and ask for names

Make sure you properly introduce yourself. Ask for their name in a polite way.   39   This will increase the chances of their remembering your name in the future. Always remember to stand up when greeting someone and be sure to introduce them to anyone you're with.

 Make good conversation

To get the most out of your discussion, try to find something common between the two of you.   40   A person will feel more comfortable with someone they can relate to (产生共鸣).

A. Driving a car is a must.

B. Have a proper handshake.

C. Repeat the name and use it later in conversation.

D. As a general rule, plan to arrive about 30 minutes early.

E. It could be a similar taste in clothes or a common hobby.

F. You'll be in serious trouble if you leave them with a bad impression.

G. However, don't have your left hand in your pocket because this appears impolite.

A few years ago, the company I worked for sent my wife and me to live in New York for a year. I've always loved running, so I was really happy when I found out I lived next to Central Park. This meant that every morning I could go for a run before I went to work.

Because a lot of people had told me to be careful of robbers in the park, so usually I didn't take anything with me. How could they rob me if I didn't have anything? But one morning, my wife gave me a $10 bill and asked me to buy some bread on the way.

It was a beautiful morning and the park was quiet with very few people walking or jogging around. While I was running through the park, another jogger knocked into me. He apologized and continued running. For a while, I didn't think too much of it. However, when I noticed the wide path where I was running, I thought it was kind of strange. The warning of robbers in the park occurred to me. “It could have been a robber!" I suddenly became alarmed, so I checked my pocket and found that the money was missing. Without thinking twice, I ran after that jogger. I finally caught up and held him by the arm. I shouted, “Give me the $10 bill! Now!” I am not usually a hot-headed (性急的) person, but I got really angry this time. I couldn't believe the robbery was actually happening to me. Filled with anger, I shook my fist at him. This seemed to frighten him. He quickly put his hand in his pocket and gave me the money. Then he ran away as fast as he could.

I bought the bread and went home. As soon as I got home, I couldn't wait to tell my wife my story. "You won't believe what happened to me," I started with pride. She immediately stopped me, “I know, you left the money for the bread on the kitchen table.”

写作第一节 (One possible version)

Dear Chris,

I am sorry to hear that you are having trouble fitting in at your new school. Such problems are quite normal. Perhaps the following suggestions may be helpful.

First, I think you should communicate with your classmates as much as possible. In this way, you will get to know each other better. Second, it might be a good idea for you to take part in more activities, knowing new friends and communicating with other students are good for developing friendly relationships. I recommend you consider asking our teachers when faced with some tough problems. I believe they can usually offer you some sensible suggestions.

I sincerely hope my advice will be of some help to you. If there is anything more I can do to help, please let me know.

Yours,

                                                                                    Li Hua

第二节 (One possible version)

Looking at the money on the table, I stood there, shocked. For the rest of the day, I felt extremely guilty, with the innocent jogger and his “helplessness” in my mind. “How could I be so rude to him without knowing the truth?” I decided to find a chance to apologize to him. The next morning, I went to the park and waited at the same spot. Luckily, I spotted him again. I, the “robber”, gave the $10 bill back to him and said sorry to him again and again. Fortunately, he forgave me for what I had done to him. From the experience I have learned that it is too early to judge a person before you know the truth.
