(This isn’t a guarantee!) But when the weather is good, it’s a truly special place-here are some things you can do in summer when the weather is nice.‎ See With the richest wildlife across the UK, take the chance to see some of the less common sites. On the West coast of Scotland there are lots of places where you can take a boat trip to see many kinds of whales. If you prefer dolphins, you can see the most northerly colony of bottlenose dolphins (海豚) in the world just off Inverness in the Moray Firth. Of course it’s likely that you’ll see seals (海豹) and many other animals on these trips too.‎ Do The waves of Thurso right in the north of Scotland are just great. If you’re not feeling brave enough to go in the water and prefer to watch from the safety of the shore then there’re several major surf contests held there.‎ Another very Scottish activity ideal for good weather is “Munro Bagging”. Named after Sir Hugh Munro, the 218 mountains in Scotland over 914m high are called Munros and walkers try to see how many they can climb in a set amount of time. This is not easy though-conditions can change suddenly and many of the routes are very tough (艰难的).‎ Eat Thanks to a large Scottish-Italian population, there are £ar too many specialist ice cream sellers. One of the most famous of them is Nardini in Largs, Ayrshire. Not - 14 -‎ ‎ only can you watch people actually make ice cream but you can sit and eat in a beautiful refurbished (翻新的) 1930s building facing the river Clyde. There’s even a piano player at the weekends.‎ ‎21. What are you recommended to see in Scotland during summer?‎ A. A former colony.‎ B. A variety of boats.‎ C. Beautiful snow scenery.‎ D. Animals living in the wild.‎ ‎22. What do we know about Munro Bagging?‎ A. It is very interesting.‎ B. It suits people of all ages.‎ C. It is a challenging activity.‎ D. It was named after a mountain.‎ ‎23. What can you do in Nardini?‎ A. Watch surf contests.‎ B. Enjoy great ice cream.‎ C. Learn to play the piano.‎ D. Make ice cream by yourself.‎ B It was an autumn morning shortly after my husband and I moved into our first house. Our children were upstairs unpacking, and I was looking out of the window at my father moving around mysteriously on the front lawn. “What are you doing out there?” I called to him.‎ He looked up, smiling. “I’m making you a surprise.’’ I thought it could be just about anything. When we were kids, he always created something surprising for us. Today, however, Dad would say no more, and caught up in the business of our new life, I eventually forgot about his surprise.‎ Until one gloomy day the next March when I glanced out of the window, I saw a dot of blue across the yard. I headed outside for a closer look. They were crocuses (番红花) throughout the front lawn—blue, yellow and my favorite pink, with little - 14 -‎ ‎ faces moving up and down in the cold wind. I remembered the things Dad secretly planted last autumn. He knew how the darkness and dullness of winter always got me down. What could have been more perfectly timely to my needs?‎ My father’s crocuses bloomed (开花) each spring for the next five seasons, always bringing the same assurance: Hard times are almost over. Hold on, keep going, and light is coming soon.‎ Then a spring came with only half the usual blooms and the next spring there were none. I missed the crocuses, so I would ask Dad to come over and plant new bulbs (块茎植物). But I never did. He died suddenly one October day. My family were in deep sorrow, leaning on our faith.‎ On a spring afternoon four years later, I was driving back when I felt depressed. It was Dad’s birthday, and I found myself thinking about him. This was not unusual-my family often talked about him, remembering how he lived up to his faith. Suddenly I slowed as I turned into our driveway. I stopped and stared at the lawn. There on the muddy grass with small piles of melting snow, bravely waving in the wind, was one pink crocus.‎ How could a flower bloom from a bulb more than 18 years ago, one that hadn’t bloomed in over a decade? But there was the crocus. Tears filled my eyes as I realized its significance.‎ Hold on, keep going, and light is coming soon. The pink crocus bloomed for only a day, but it built my faith for a lifetime.‎ ‎24. According to the first three paragraphs, we learn that .‎ A. it kept bothering (使烦恼) the author not knowing what the surprise was B. it was not the first time that the author’s father bad made a surprise C. the author was unpacking when her father was making the surprise D. the author knew what the surprise was because she knew her father ‎25.

And I remember one night in particular when she had made breakfast after a long, hard day at hospital.‎ On that evening so long ago, my Mom placed a plate of eggs, sausage and extremely burned toast in front of my dad. I remember waiting to see if anyone noticed! Yet all my dad did was to reach for his toast, smile at my Mom and ask me how my day was at school. I don’t remember what I told him that night, but I do remember watching him spread butter and jelly on that toast and eat every bite!‎ When I got up from the table that evening, I remember bearing my Mom apologize to my dad for burning the toast. And I’ll never forget what he said: “Honey. I love burnt toast.”‎ Later that night, I went to kiss Daddy good night and I asked him if he really liked his toast burnt. He took me in his arms and said. “Your Momma put in a hard day at work today and she’s really tired. And besides, a little burnt toast never hurt anyone!”‎ You know, life is full of imperfect things and imperfect people. What I’ve learned over the years is that learning to accept each other’s faults is one of the most important keys to creating a healthy, growing, and lasting relationship. This good quality is the base of any relationship — husband-wife or parent-child or friendship!‎ - 14 -‎ ‎ As far as I’m concerned, I’m not the best engineer as expected. However, I have made my efforts. That’s enough.‎ So learn to take the good, the bad, and the ugly parts of your life. Burnt toast isn’t a deal-breaker! Don’t put the key to your happiness in someone else’s pocket but into your own. You will appreciate the value of every soul including yourself.‎ ‎28.

She says, “I like to see what’s on the other side of the hill.” She has gone almost everywhere to do that.‎ In 1988, at the age of 50, she became the first woman to travel alone to the North Pole. She pulled her own sled (雪橇) piled with 160 pounds of supplies, and during her trip no one brought her fresh supplies. Accompanied (陪伴) only by her dog Charlie, she survived cold weather and meetings with polar bears. In fact, Charlie - 14 -‎ ‎ saved her life when one of them attacked her. Near the end of her trip, a forceful wind blew away the majority of her supplies. The last week of the trip, she survived on a handful of nuts and a little water each day.‎ Helen goes to challenging places not only for adventure, but also for education. Before her Arctic journey, she started a website called Adventure Classroom. On the site, she shares her adventures in order to motivate (激发) students. She explains, “Although kids often see the world in a negative way, without hope for their future, we work to inspire them to set goals, plan for success and never give up…” Helen grew up in New Zealand. Her parents were athletes and mountain climbers. Following hw parents’ example, she climbed her first mountain at 9. Later, she climbed the highest mountains in North and South America, the former USSR and New Zealand.‎ In 1996, she took on another challenge-the Sahara Desert. She and her husband, Bill, walked 2,400 miles across it! In 2001, she and Bill traveled on foot from west to east through the Gobi Desert in Mongolia. They hope to travel in mainland China into Sichuan and Tibet to study pandas this year.‎ Helen plans to continue taking trips. She’ll use her colorations, writing, photography and environmental work to create programs for her Adventure Classroom website. She wants to inspire her students never to stop facing challenges!‎ ‎32. We learn from Paragraph 2 that .‎ A. Helen Thayer is the first person to reach the North Pole B.

Sichuan and Tibet 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 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。‎ To be more grateful (感恩的) in life means that you are also allowing yourself to be happier and more satisfied with everything that has been going on around you. But with all the stress, all the disappointments and all the anxiety around you. I bet you ask yourself this question all the time: “How exactly can I be more grateful with my life?” 36 .‎ ‎1. Learn to live in the moment.‎ Life is a wonderful adventure full of enriching experiences and endless possibilities. Don’t just go through the motions of (走过场) repetitive(重复乏味的) activities and boring tasks. No! Being a mindless zombie (行尸走肉) can make you more likely to take things for granted (对……不予重视). 37 , make an effort to enjoy the experience.‎ You’re supposed to attend a conference? Absorb it. Babysit your niece? Enjoy the moment. Eat a 15-minute lunch? Taste each bite.‎ ‎2. 38 ‎ Being aware of your goal to be more grateful can help you look for things to be really more grateful for. Gratitude is a conscious decision. You have to practice it consistently (持续的，始终如一地).‎ ‎3. Control your thoughts.‎ Of course you have the power to control what you’re thinking of! Consider this exercise, for example: if you find yourself thinking more and more self-entitled (自我为中心), stop. 39 . You are given consciousness (意识). Make use of it wisely.‎ ‎4. Always resist the temptation (诱惑) of comparing yourself with other people.‎ As humans, we have the natural tendency (倾向、偏好）to compare ourselves with others with the hope of attaining satisfaction. Actually, this kind of activity does not help you feel to be more grateful in life. 40 ! You will always be meeting someone - 14 -‎ ‎ richer, which makes you fed inferior (下等的) to others!‎ Don’t do it, please.‎ Every little thing counts. You have the ability to make yourself feel to be more grateful in your life.‎ A. Appreciate what you had in the past B. And if you find yourself repeating negative (消极的) junk, stop C. It does the opposite D. Egress gratitude all the time E. Well, the following are some tips to help you with this particular concern (忧虑)‎ F.

Words that stress you and make you feel worthless should definitely be removed ‎ 第三部分 英语知识运用 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题中所给的四个选项（ABCD)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ My fiance (未婚夫）and I were excited about shopping for our first home.

It was Our Home, small and charming, overlooking a quiet lake. Walking through the rooms and talking with the owners, a nice elderly couple, we felt the warmth and 46 of the marriage within that home. As perfect as it was, the price remained too high for us. But every day, we would sit by the lake, looking at the house and dreaming of 47 it would be like to live there.‎ Days later, we made a(n) 48 —far below the asking price. Surprisingly, they didn’t 49 us. They renewed their offer 50 . It was also much more than we ‎ - 14 -‎ could afford but far 51 than the original asking price.‎ The next day, we got a 52 message that another buyer had offered a much higher price. Even so, we decided to talk with the 53 directly. We made our final offer, which 54 was thousands of dollars less than the other buyer’s bid. We knew it, 55 we had to try.‎ ‎“Sold!” said the owner. Then he 56 : He’d seen us sitting by the lake all those times; he knew how much we loved the place and that we’d 57 the years of work they had put into their home; he realized he would take a 58 by selling it to us, but it was worthwhile; we were the people they wanted to live there.
