“Italy without Sicily does not leave an impression on your soul: here lies the key to everything.” This is what Goethe wrote during his voyage through Italy in 1787. In fact, Sicily is Italy’s largest island and at the same time a small world of its own. Typically Italian and yet completely different: contrasts (差别）characterize Sicily in many aspects --- scenic as well as cultural.
The sunny island has always been considered a blooming place. It is in spring that Italy’s southernmost point shows its best, when countless almond trees turn the island into a sea of flowers. Beautiful lemon trees are to be found all over the island, but most of all on the soil beneath Mount Etna, the landmark of Sicily and the largest volcano of Europe.
Windswept bushes and splendid sand dunes in the southeast attract you. Here you will find Sicily’s most beautiful sandy beaches --- extending for kilometers on end, wide and gentle.
In the thinly populated inland, the mountain area with its valleys, streams and plateaus creates an almost mysterious atmosphere; in the mountain villages time seems to have stood still.
The islands around Sicily are worth a visit, too: from Sicily you can easily reach the Lipari Islands, for example.
As various as the island’s landscape and sights are its people --- the Sicilians. The poet Angelo Fiore held that, there were “five million Sicilies”, just as many as there are people. In the Sicilian melting pot of cultures you will find elements contributed by the Greeks, the Romans, the Arabs, the Normans, the Hohenstaufen dynasty, the Spanish and the French. Southern Italian hospitality, celebrating colorful, lively festivals and keeping up religious customs are surely among the islanders’ characteristics.
24. Why are Goethe’s words mentioned in the first paragraph?
A. To attract us to Sicily.
B. To introduce the topic of the text.
C. To give us a taste of Goethe’s talent.
D. To describe Sicily’s unique natural sights.
25. How do you understand the underlined phrase “a small world of its own”?
A. Sicily is separated from the Italian mainland.
B. Sicily has unique scenes and cultures.
C. Sicily represents Italian cultures.
D. Sicily is Italy’s largest island.


26. According to the text,_________.
A. Sicily is filled with flowers all year round
B. the mountain villagers lead a fast-paced life
C. Mount Etna is at a short distance from Sicily
D. you can enjoy sandy beaches in the southeast
27. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
A. The friendliness of the Sicilians.
B. The festive atmosphere of Sicily.
C. The melting pot of cultures of Sicily.
D. The different customs of the Sicilians.
C.
Exploration is about how we experience the geography. A geography education without actively learning how to explore places is as frustrating as teaching music lessons without sound. Besides that, exploration has the potential to be one of the most enjoyable and rewarding things we humans will ever do. It can be good for developing problem-solving, teamwork, social and other vital skills. Therefore, we should be given the opportunities to learn properly how to do it.
The sad reality is that millions of children are socially and geographically deprived(剥夺) of the opportunities. Their learning environments lack the diversity of places and experience-based opportunities that they need to develop well and as a result, they will not reach their full potential.
There is plenty of research showing that many children have little time and space to explore, play and learn outdoors. Perhaps most shockingly, Dirt is Good conducted a survey which found that three-quarters of UK children spend less time outside than prisoners, that the amount of time children spend playing in natural places has decreased and that a fifth of children do not play outside on an average day.
There are a large number of good and complex reasons why parents do not let their children play (and so learn) outdoors and not overcoming these barriers comes with its own risks. Changing the parenting cultures that are overly limiting many children’s freedom will potentially need efforts of generation after generation.
Partially as a response to this situation, an increasing number of doctors are providing social prescriptions(处方). Instead of being offered medicine for mental or physical illness, young patients are being prescribed time with nature, volunteering, doing sports or some other activities instead.
Teachers are, in many ways, in a better position to provide time and space for children to benefit from experiences that help them not only to learn, but also to be well. Teachers can spare both formal and informal time and space for exploration that helps not only children who are ill, but also those who are well.
28. What does paragraph 1 mainly talk about?
A. The way to reach full potential.        
B. The methods of doing exploration.        
C. The different attitudes to exploration.        
D. The importance of doing exploration.
29. What can we learn from the survey of Dirt is Good?     
A. Prisoners in the UK are treated very well.
B. Children are badly in need of outdoor time.
C. Children are becoming less outgoing nowadays.
D. There aren’t enough natural places in many countries.
30. What do we know about the process of changing the parenting cultures ?
A. It’s interesting but tiring.
B. It’s complex and risky.
C. It’s challenging but worthwhile.
D. It’s troublesome and demanding.
31. What does the author want to say by mentioning social prescriptions?
A. Playing outside can promote people’s health.
B. Traditional medicines may have side effects.
C. Experienced doctors are in short supply.
D. Mental illness needs special treatment.
D.
My brother belongs to a strange group known as birders. Together with his three friends who are likewise into the hobby of birding, they march on landfills, and hike through the wooded lands, each of them armed with a pair of binoculars (双筒望远镜), a digital camera, biscuits, and water. One of them carries a telescope which comes in handy in case they want to take a look at a bird up close.
Understandably, their clothing is light; their shoes are designed for comfort, and they never fail to bring with them hats. Moving at a slow pace, they go in search of birds. And, yes, they carry a field guide --- a manual for identifying birds.
It is interesting to note how my brother and his co-birders go through their hobby: first, they look for a bird (either with the naked eyes or with the help of their binoculars); when they find one, they identify it; they then write it down. In case they are unable to determine the bird’s identity, they search for it in the field guide. If the bird is not in the handbook, they take down notes, make a rough drawing representing the chief features of the bird, or even take a picture of it to be used as a future reference.
A device, called the National Geographic’s Handheld Birds Personal Digital Assistant, is available for those who plan to take up birding in North America. This handy device is a digital field guide containing more than one thousand five hundred visual representations of birds. It has a searchable database of over eight hundred North American bird species.
For those seriously considering birding as a hobby but having second thoughts for fear of catching the terrible bird flu, it is important to know that you can take up the hobby and be safe from the fatal disease if you strictly observe the slogan of birders worldwide: just watch, don’t catch.
32. Which of the following is TRUE about birders?
A. Their clothing is light and they never bring hats with them.
B. They carry a telescope to have a close look at the birds.
C. After they find a bird, they usually put it into the cage.
D. They go to search for birds moving at a rapid pace.
33. Why do birders take a field guide?
A. To take down notes.
B. To take pictures of birds.
C. To find the correct route.
D. To refer to information of birds.
34. The device mentioned in Para. 4 can help birders_________.
A. look for birds
B. look at birds closely
C. make a drawing of birds
D. recognize different birds
35. What should birders do if they want to be free from bird flu?
A. Avoid catching birds.
B. Keep away from birds.
C. Give up keeping birds.
D. Wear protective clothing.

根据短文内容，从所给选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项多余
Weather forecasts help us prepare for the future. Not only do they warn us of potentially dangerous weather headed our way, but they also give us an idea of what to expect in terms of temperature and chance of precipitation(降雨量), so we can dress and equip ourselves appropriately.
36 Forecasts are a prediction based on an educated guess. Since there are a wide variety of factors that go into a forecast, it’ s possible for meteorologists(气象学家) to guess wrong from time to time. Fortunately, modern technology has allowed forecasters to become much more accurate over the last decade.
Today, meteorologists use complicated mathematical models to predict the weather with the help of powerful supercomputers and tons of observational data from land, sea, and air weather stations around the world. Where does all this data come from? 37 Many people create their own backyard weather stations to measure temperature and precipitation. They can report their observations to local meteorologists to help improve local forecasts.
Technologically advanced weather stations are established by meteorologists all over the world. 38 Various tools are used to measure air pressure, wind speed, relative humidity (湿度), etc.
To get data from the seas and the upper atmosphere, data-collection tools and instruments may be tied to ships, airplanes, and even buoys (浮标) in the middle of the ocean. 39   They can be used on a global scale to spot weather trends for large areas.    
All these tools around the world produce millions of pieces of weather-related observational data every single day. 40 Current data is compared to similar patterns that have occurred in the past to determine what will likely happen in the future.
A. Sometimes it comes from common people like you.
B. However, weather forecasting is not a perfect science.
C. They collect and share data to help improve forecasts.
D. Supercomputers process that data to produce forecasts.
E. Weather balloons and weather satellites also provide observational data.
F. Forecasts about temperature and precipitation are important to agriculture.
G. Data from weather satellites are used in areas where traditional data sources are not available.

Jennifer works for Plato’s Closet, the clothing chain that buys and sells used clothing and accessories. When she performed a routine 41 on a coat that was 42 by a man earlier that day, she 43 $7,000 in $100 bills zipped inside a pocket.

54 public integrity, resolve or sincerity often results in recognition and praise. Doing the right thing when no one is watching is hard. Your nonpublic integrity gains no 55 or applause.

Maybe 58 is Jennifer’s main character and maybe it’s not, but that doesn’t 59 . The fact that she 60 to do the right thing is more important.

People will connect to their cultural group through similar food patterns. Immigrants often use food as 61 means of keeping their identity. People from different backgrounds eat different food. The areas 62 families live influence food likes and dislikes.
Food items themselves have meaning 63 (attach) to them. In many Western countries, a box of chocolate would be viewed as an appropriate gift. The receiver of the gift would react 64
(different) to a gift of cabbages or carrots. In other countries , however, chocolate might be a less appropriate gift.
Nations or countries are often linked 65 certain food. For example, many people think of Italy when eating pizza. Some families in the United States prefer to eat meat and potatoes. Grits (粗玉米粉) 66 (eat) by families in the southern United States.
67 (region) food habits do exist, but they also change over time. Families move to other locations, 68 (bring) their food preferences with them. They may use some local 69

I can still remember I was once asked to make a speech before the whole class by the age of 9.You can imagine how shy I was when I thought of that with so many eyes fixing on me. I had no choice but prepare for it, though. The hardest part was my oral presentation from my memory, as to reading from the paper wasn’t allowed. The real moment began when I stood on the platform with my legs trembled or my mind blank. And my listeners were waiting patient. Gradually, I found me back, giving my speech at last. After what seemed to be a long time, I heard the listener applauding loudly. Ever since then, my fear of speaking before a big audience had disappeared. Actually, now I’ve become a great speaker !
