Head east on the Akoni Pule Highway and drive to the end of the road before parking at the Pololu Valley Overlook where the trail（小径）begins.

Drive along South Point Road and look for “Green Sand Beach” signs, then follow the road on foot to the beach below.

The idea that their son might attend a vocational school worried the Funks at first.‎ ‎“Vocational schools seemed to be reserved for people who weren’t making it in ‘real’ schools, so we weren’t completely sure whether we should support our son attending one,” Erin says.‎ Both Erin and Caleb worked hard to be the first in their families to obtain college degrees, and wanted the same opportunity for their three children. After touring the video- production-design program at Penta Career Center, though, they could see the draw for their son. Despite their initial worries, after learning more about the program and seeing how excited their son was about it, they threw their support behind his decision.‎ But not everyone in the Funks’ lives understands this decision. Erin says, “When I mentioned it to a friend recently that my eldest had decided to go to the vocational-technical school in our city, her first reaction was, ‘Oh, is he having problems at school？’ There is an attitude out there that the only reason you would go to a vo-tech is that you have some kind of problem at a traditional school.”‎ But their son has a 3. 95 GPA, a very good score. He was simply more interested in the program at Penta Career Center. He just doesn’t care what anyone else thinks.‎ The Funks are not alone in their misunderstandings and misgivings about the idea of vocational and technical education. Negative（负面的）attitudes and parental worries are still there even in the face of the promising future for these middle-skill students.‎ ‎“It is considered a second choice, second-class. We really need to change how people see vocational and technical education,” said Patricia Hsieh, the president of Penta Career Center in Toledo, Ohio.‎ ‎24. What can we learn about the funks？‎ A. They want their children to receive technical education.‎ B. They come from rich and well-educated families.‎ C. They decided to support their son’s decision eventually.‎ D. They felt ashamed of their son’s choice at first.‎ ‎25. What does the underlined word “misgivings” in paragraph 6 mean？‎ A. Worries. B. Shames. C. Mistakes. D. Refusals.‎ ‎26 Penta Career Center differs from a traditional college in that ______.‎ A. it provides less interesting curricular B. it can only get second-class students C. it mainly focuses on middle-skill training D. it is more sensitive to job market changes ‎27. What can be the best title for the text？‎ A. Should We Support Our Children’s Choice of Vo-tech?‎ B. Negative Attitudes to Technical Education.‎ C. Better Job Market for Vocational Students.‎ D. Is Vocational Education a New Trend？‎ C This year’s United Nations Prize for Research in the Life Sciences（UNPRLS）goes to a Chinese scientist, Tu Youyou, for the discovery of artemisinin（青蒿素）and its use in the treatment of malaria（疟疾）—a medical advance that has saved millions of lives across the globe, especially in the developing world.‎ Tu’s pioneering work on malaria began on May 23, 1967 when the Chinese government started a program aimed at finding a cure for the deadly disease.‎ Tu combed the Chinese traditional medicine texts for possible treatments, and by 1972, had made 380‎ ‎ extracts（提取物）from 200 herbs. Her team then tested the extracts one by one on the malaria-infected mice. One of the extracts from Qinghao—or sweet wormwood—sharply reduced malaria growth in the animals.‎ At a March 1972 meeting of the project’s key participants, Tu reported that the natural plant extract wiped out the malaria in mice and monkeys. Later that year it proved effective in treating human patients.‎ The first English-language scientific journal（期刊）mentioning successful clinical trials for artemisinin appeared in late 1979 and two years later, Tu presented her discovery at an international meeting at the World Health Organization（WHO）and it was immediately recognized as a breakthrough. In 2015, she was finally awarded the Nobel Prize for her discovery.‎ Artemisinin is still the most powerful anti-malarial drug presently available, and an artemisinin-based drug combination is now the standard drug for the disease. The WHO lists artemisinin and related drugs in its catalog of “Essential Medicines”‎ ‎“It is clear that Tu’s work has saved millions of lives, particularly in the developing world, and continues to bring about long-term medical benefits in the ongoing fight against this deadly disease,” the Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization（UNESCO）prize committee writes in a statement published today.‎ ‎28. What has served as the major inspiration for Tu’s discovery？‎ A. The English-language scientific journals.‎ B. Exchanges with scientists at international meetings.‎ C. Her malaria-fighting experience in the developing countries.‎ D. Her extensive reading of the Chinese traditional medicine books.‎ ‎29. How long has it taken Tu to get her first official international recognition of her achievement?‎ A. About 6 years. B. About 7 years. C. About 9 years. D. About 43 years.‎ ‎30. What can we know about the artemisinin？‎ A. It has to be taken from the natural plants in China.‎ B. It is still the most effective drug in curing malaria.‎ C. It must be combined with other drugs for treatment.‎ D. It is the only anti-malarial medicine used in the world.‎ ‎31. Why was Tu given this year’s UNPRLS according to the UNESCO prize committee？‎ A. Her pioneering work has rid the world of malaria.‎ B. Her drug has promoted the use of natural herbs.‎ C. Her team discovered artemisinin and tested it successfully.‎ D. Her discovery has helped to save millions of lives in the world.‎ D Oxford Dictionaries has named “climate emergency” as its 2019 Word of the Year, choosing it from an all-environmental shortlist that also included “climate action” “climate denial” “eco-anxiety” and “extinction”.‎ The Word of the Year is intended to highlight a word or expression shown through language usage evidence to reflect the public concern of the passing year, and has a lasting potential as a term of social significance. Previous winners included “toxic” “youthquake” and “post-truth”.‎ Normally, the shortlist includes a variety of different words that show new trends in language usage evidence. While the choices were often related to political trends, Katherine Connor Martin, an editor at Oxford Dictionaries, said the unusual trend to focus on climate-related terms reflected an increasing public concern in the language around climate.‎ ‎“When we were looking through the evidence, it was just clear that topics relating to the climate were running through all the different texts we were working with,” she said. “It reflects it was a real concern of the English-speaking world in 2019.”‎ The use of the term “climate emergency” increased by one hundred times since 2018, according to data collected in the Oxford Corpus, a database containing hundreds of millions of words of written English. In fact, it was the most common compound involving（涉及） “emergency”, occurring three times as often as the next most-common, health emergency.‎ In part, Ms. Martin noted, this reflects a deliberate decision by some news organizations including The Guardian, to use climate emergency or climate crisis（危机）instead of climate change, to better convey the urgency of the situation.‎ Oxfords choice of an all-environmental shortlist, Ms. Martin said, did not reflect a deliberate decision to focus people’s attention, but a reading, if a necessarily subjective one, of the evidence in language usage.‎ ‎“When we considered all the possibilities, we found a huge amount of language usage evidence this year was concerned with ecology,” she said.‎ ‎32. Why is the Word of the Year significant？‎ A. It is about the cultural hot topics.‎ B. It forecasts the economic developments.‎ C. It is related to the ecological movements.‎ D. It reflects the major social concerns and trends.‎ ‎33. Which expression is most probably related to a political trend according to the text？‎ A. Youthquake. B. Climate action. C. Eco-anxiety. D. Extinction ‎34. Oxford Dictionaries has selected its Word of the Year from ______.‎ A. newspapers such as The guardian. B. all the published articles in the world C. the whole database of the Oxford Corpus. D. the written English texts of the passing year.‎ ‎35. What did Ms Martin think of the Oxford’s all-environmental shortlist？‎ A. It is intentionally chosen to catch people’s attention.‎ B. It is based on the editors’ subjective selection of language data.‎ C. It is more reliable than the news report from the news organizations.‎ D. It shows the latest trends in language usage throughout the world.‎ 第二节 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。‎ Green tourism, a form of ecotourism, is low-impact （环保的）tourism with an eye toward protecting the environment and culture of an area. 36 ,but green tourism can cover a wide range standards and conditions, from fully compliant（遵守）to less stressful on the environment than standard tourism. There are many ‎ opportunities for green travel available worldwide.‎ ‎ 37 , which makes green tourism not only preferable but a necessity in some areas. It might seem wiser of some people to protect natural habitats（栖息地）and fragile environment by banning visitors completely to these areas, but many areas depend on the income from tourism to support the local economy. Green, sustainable（可持续的）tourism is considered offering the best of both worlds.‎ Green tourism doesn’t necessarily mean a vacation spent roughing it with little or no comforts. On the contrary, many people believe that it can be a wonderful adventure. Ecotourism resorts（度假胜地）and ecologies exist in almost every style and taste. 38 , there are many vacationing choices.‎ There are also trips available in which vacationers take an active part in improving the local area by working to preserve the natural habitat, helping to build a school or performing other services that benefit the area. These vacations can be a lot of work. 39 .‎ As green tourism becomes more popular, there are likely to be more vacationing choices available. More resort areas will likely take steps to have less of an impact on the surrounding environment. 40 . Local economies might be able to take full advantage of the booming tourist trade without doing harm to the local environment, allowing tourists to enjoy the beauty that these areas have to offer for many years to come.‎ A. Green tourism is very popular B. Therefore, we should make the best of them C. However, many people find them very rewarding D. Sustainable tourism could easily become the standard E. From recycling and gray water system to tents on tree houses F. The number of tourists traveling the world has been increasing G. The United Nations has set up certain standard for ecotourism 第三部分 语言运用 第一节 For more than 25 years, Jan Karon has been delighting millions of readers with her bestselling Mitford series.

As I began to eat I looked around at the other tables and saw a girl sitting alone, so I decided why not go sit with her. Anyway there was no reason for me to have a whole table to myself, and who knew maybe I could make a friend. I walked to the girl quickly to check whether my guess was right. When I stood before her, I said, “Excuse me, do you mind if I sit with you？” She was surprised at first, but then smiled and said “Sure！”‎ We chatted happily while eating. I told her I was a newcomer and I had no friend. I expressed my intention to make friends with her. She said because of her body size, no one wanted to get close to her, so she was glad to have ‎ a friend. We became close friends throughout the next two years. Towards the end of our senior year she told me that she’d been accepted to an out of state college and would be moving away after graduation. I was sad that I would miss her but at the same time was really happy for her.‎ She then shared with me something very moving. “Do you remember the first day of school when you came over and sat down with me during lunch？” she asked. “Of course！why do you ask？” I replied. She continued, “I want to let you know how special you are and that you make a difference.” I wanted to know the reason for that.‎ Paragraph 1:‎ Her tears rolled down from her eyes. __________________________________________________________‎ ‎____________________________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎____________________________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎____________________________________________________________________________________________‎ Paragraph 2:‎ Hearing what she said, I was lost in thought. ___________________________________________________‎ ‎___________________________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎___________________________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎___________________________________________________________________________________________‎ 参考答案 ‎1-5 B C A C A 6-10 C B B A C 11-15 C B A A B 16-20 B C C A A ‎21-23 A C D 24-27 C A C A 28-31 D C B D 32-35 D A D C ‎36-40 G F E C D ‎41-45 B A D B C 46-50 D B A C B 51-55 A C C D B ‎56. third 57. traditionally 58. the 59. to 60. including ‎61. which 62. examples 63. preservation 64. represents 65. to create 第一节 One possible version;‎ Dear Steve,‎ I am Li Hua, I feel bad to trouble you but I am afraid that I have to express my dissatisfaction with the cellphone I bought on August 12.‎ The reasons are as follows. In the first place, this phone has a short battery life, which is not satisfactory. In addition, some parts of the screen have been damaged, Under these circumstances, I find it hard to use it.‎ I would appreciate it very much if you could exchange a new one for me. Besides, you should pay the postage, What’s more, I would like to have this matter settled by next Sunday.‎ Thank you for your consideration and I will be looking lo forward to your reply.‎ Yours sincerely,‎ Li Hua 第二节 One possible version Her tears rolled down from her eyes, She said a girl who was stronger than her always asked her for money but she didn’t dare to tell the teachers, It had just broken her down. She was so depressed that day that she had made detailed plans on how she was going to kill herself after she got home, Just then I walked to her and treated her in a kind way, which let feel the world was warmer than expected.‎ Hearing what she said, I was lost in thought, If I hadn’t eaten in the courtyard, walked to her and chatted with her, she would have probably killed herself when she got home from school, It might be hard to believe that I saved her life, Then I said, “I have been wanting to say thanks to you because I made a friend in a new state that day,” Saying that, I hugged her, saying “Becoming your friend makes me happy.”‎
