However, Chris’ job can be just as exciting and dangerous as being an explorer.‎ Chris works for MSF, an organization also known as Doctors Without Border(国界). Since 1971, MFS has sent trained doctors all over the world to help people who have suffered from disasters, such as wars and illnesses. Chris is a doctor from France who has traveled to many places to organize programs that help people.‎ At the moment, over 27,000 trained doctors have taken part in MSF projects. The organization received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1999. All kinds of doctors can volunteer for MSF. They need to be ready to go almost anywhere in the world and, of course, they should face difficulties. Most of MSF’s work is in Africa. When MSF chooses a doctor for a task, they have to go for at least six months. When doctors have completed a few tasks, they might be sent on an emergency(紧急的) task following a disaster, such as an earthquake.‎ But why would doctors leave a comfortable life and a good pay to join MSF? According to Chris, the experience they have is a great help in their life. What’s more, just like the explorers of the past, they need to keep an open mind and learn to get on well with the people they meet. One thing that they can say at the end of any task is that they have made a real difference to people’s lives.‎ ‎58. What may MSF’s work be like?‎ A. Tiring and boring B. Exciting and dangerous ‎ C.

In fact, they have more to fear from us than we do from them. For many years, lots of great white sharks were killed.‎ But thanks to people’s efforts, the population of these sharks is rising again in the ‎US ‎, according to two recent studies.‎ Why is their growing population something to celebrate? Great white sharks play an important role in the ocean ecosystem. As the biggest predators, they help keep the population of other creatures from growing too large. If the population of an species(物种) gets too big, it will affect the food chain.‎ Although they are very important, great white sharks had been hunted for their meat and fins for a long time. In 1997, a law was passed in the US to stop the hunting of great white sharks. Gradually, the numbers of sharks started to increase.‎ The law wasn’t the only thing that has helped great white sharks. Environmental protection groups have also played a part. The research group, OCEARCH, puts an electronic device(装置) on a shark’s fin and then tracks(追踪) its movements. Just as important, they let the public follow each shark as it travels the world’s oceans. OCEARCH also gives each shark a name. The group’s most famous shark is a shark named Katharine. Thousands of people have tracked Katharine’s movements on the website. This helps people see sharks in a new way --- not just as the dangerous killers seen in movies. Learning about sharks makes people want to do more to protect them.‎ ‎62. What is the good news mentioned in the second paragraph?‎ A. People can track sharks’ movements on a website.‎ B. The population of great white sharks is increasing.‎ C. Some new kinds of fish were found in the ocean.‎ D. Two recent studies show that great white sharks are not dangerous.‎ ‎63. Why are great white sharks important to the ocean ecosystem?‎ A. Their meant and fins are very valuable.‎ B. They can keep other ocean species away from danger.‎ C. Other Ocean species cannot live without great white sharks.‎ D. They can stop the population of other ocean species getting too big.‎ ‎64. The underlined word, “predators”, in the third paragraph probably means “_________” in Chinese.‎ A. 捕食性动物 B. 素食性动物 C. 海洋生物 D. 陆地生物 ‎65. Which of the following statements is NOT true about OCEARCH?‎ A. It works hard to make people want to do more to protect sharks.‎ B. It helps thousands of people find their pets.‎ C. Its most famous shark is called Katharine.‎ D. If fixes a small device on a shark’s fin.‎ V. 口语应用（每小题1分，共5分）‎ ‎ 阅读下面对话，从方框内7个选项中选择5个恰当的句子完成此对话。‎ A. By air.‎ B. How do you like the fruit there?‎ C.

Let’s go there by bus.‎ A: What’s your plan for the coming summer holiday?‎ B: Um, 66 . What about yours?‎ A: I learned that people from the Mainland could get the visa(签证) to Japan more easily than before. Why not spend our holiday there?‎ B: Great. Japan isn’t very far from China.

I’m talking about British boarding (寄宿) schools, where some children actually live like Harry Potter (although sadly without the magic).‎ Boarding schools in Britain are not cheap. The average cost is￡25,152 (254,011 yuan) for just one year. The schools are usually very old and rich in history. They played a big role in British history, and have close connections to Oxford and Cambridge universities. Students are usually very rich; Prince William and Harry both went to Eton, a school which has produced 19 British prime ministers (首相).‎ One of the most important things for these schools is sport. Cricket (板球), rugby (英式橄榄球) and rowing (赛艇运动) are played nearly every day. These games build teamwork and discipline (纪律). There is a famous saying in English, “The British Empire (帝国) was built on the playing fields of Eton.”‎ Boarding schools often appear in English books and films. The young child without parents growing up in a boarding school is found in hundreds of stories, although the most famous now is Harry Potter. Boarding schools are becoming less traditional, though, and more international. Nearly 9,000 foreign kids joined a British boarding school last year, and a third of these came from China. 71. Are boarding schools expensive in Britain? ________________________________________ 72. What is the school Eton famous for? ________________________________________ 73.

I’m too busy!”‎ The boy soon became silent as tears 82 from his big blue eyes. Feeling sorry, the father ‎ said, “You can finish later.” The boy said 83 but quietly walked away.‎ That evening the father said, “Come and finish the kisses now, Andrew!” But the boy didn’t.‎ Unfortunately, a few days later 84 the father’s birthday, the boy had an accident and died. His sad father wrote:‎ ‎“If 85 , I would tell him how sorry I am for my thoughtless words, and how much my heart is hurting.” ‎ Love is a two-way street. We must warmly accept any loving act, or 86 will take it as a “No” and it can leave a scar (伤痕). If we don’t receive love, our life will lose meaning. Nothing is more important than 87 love from those who are near and dear to us.‎ ‎80. ____________ 81. ____________ 82. ____________ 83. ____________‎ ‎84. ____________ 85. ____________ 86. ____________ 87. ____________‎ IX.书面表达(共16分)‎ 假如你是李明，你的朋友Peter即将面临中考，然而他却深感压力巨大，寝食不安，情绪低落，学习效率低下。请你写一封信给他提一些有益的建议，帮助他调整心态，提高学习效率，轻松迎考。要点如下：‎ 1. 学会放松（体育锻炼，听音乐… 2.健康饮食 3.充足睡眠 4. ……‎ 注意：1. 词数：80词左右。（文章的开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数）‎ ‎ 2. 可适当发挥，但必须包含以上要点。‎ Dear Peter,‎ ‎ Don’t worry about your study too much.
