Take this chance and tick off this item on your list.‎ Enjoy a traditional Portuguese dinner Macao was once colonized (殖民) by Portugal before 1999. As a result, Portuguese culture has deeply affected Macao.‎ Many Portuguese settled and opened Portuguese restaurants here, but it is more adaptable to Chinese people. ‎ Visit a museum Macao, as a little city with only an area of 30.5 square kilometers, has 23 eye-catching museums. Due to its special history, both eastern and western historical relics can be found. Many ‎ of them are preserved for cultural relics, tourist spots or museums, such as the Grand Prix Museum, Maritime Museum and Wine Museum.‎ Go into an entertainment place Well known as the “Las Vegas of the Orient”, Macao has 33 entertainment places.

The historic Fire of London was a serious example of the damage fire can cause.‎ Finally, however, this disaster also positively affected the city.‎ In 1666, the Great Fire of London burned out of control for three days, destroying most of the central district（地区）of the city. The disaster caused a huge amount of damage － around seventy thousand people lost their homes. At the time, there were only about eighty thousand living in the city. There are no accurate records of how many people died in the fire because the worst damage happened in poor neighborhoods. Unfortunately, the government didn't record the ‎ deaths of poor people in those early times.‎ When the fire happened, people in London were already struggling to survive a large plague (瘟疫) outbreak that had begun in 1665. London` s housing troubles were a major cause of the problem. At the time, much of central London consisted of closely packed and poorly made wooden buildings. This created an unhealthy environment because germs travelled freely from home to home. In addition, the buildings were on narrow, dirty streets where people threw their garbage. Rats were attracted by the garbage, and they brought fleas（跳蚤）－the carriers of the plague. Once people caught the plague from flea bites, the disease spread rapidly throughout the city especially in the cramped central district. It was in these terrible conditions that the Great Fire raged through London.‎ Despite the damage, the fire had a positive effect because it destroyed the old, poorly made wooden buildings. It also killed most of the rats and fleas, which slowed the spread of the plague. After the fire, the government rebuilt the damaged areas. Whenever possible, they used brick or stone. Thus, the new houses were much more solid and more difficult for rats to enter. Widened streets and improved garbage collection also helped to stop the disease from spreading from person to person because there was simply more room to walk.‎ ‎24. Which of the following is TRUE about fires in the past?‎ ‎ A. They mainly happened in large cities ‎ ‎ B. They always had some positive effects ‎ C. They caused small amounts of damage. ‎ ‎ D. They were more dangerous than fires today.‎ ‎25. Why are there no accurate death records of the fire?‎ ‎ A. The numbers were beyond counting.‎ ‎ B. The government intended to hide the facts.‎ ‎ C. The records were destroyed in another fire.‎ ‎ D. The deaths of poor people were unrecorded ‎26. What does the underlined word “cramped” in Paragraph 3 mean?‎ ‎ A. Ancient. B. Crowded. C. Damaged. D. Popular.‎ ‎27. Why did the government rebuild the city with brick and stone after the fire?‎ ‎ A. To reduce building costs. B. To make houses stronger.‎ ‎ C. To keep fleas out of the city. D. To stop the plague spreading.‎ C A Mexican teacher has been honored after a video showed her calming pupils as a gun battle ‎ raged(肆虐) outside her school.‎ Martha Rivera Alanis was presented with a certificate (证书)on Monday to recognize her bravery in ordering her class of five- and six-year-olds to lie on the floor of their classroom, before attempting to calm them by leading a chorus(合唱) of a song from television show Barney & Friends.‎ Rivera Alanis filmed some of the scenes from inside the classroom in Monterrey －the sound of gunfire can be clearly heard － and posted the resulting video on Twitter. It was picked up and quickly spread around the Internet, with the 33-year old teacher earning the admiration of many.‎ ‎“Of course. I was afraid, but my kids got me through it,” Rivera Alanis said.‎ The video shows Rivera Alanis's 15 young pupils lying face down on the floor. "No, my love, nothing is going to happen. just put your little face on the floor, ” Rivera Alanis is heard telling one worried girl, before loud bursts of gunfire can be heard.‎ In the video, Rivera Alanis attempts to distract（使……分心) the children by leading them in a song from Barney & Friends. “If the rain drops were chocolate, I would love to be there, opening my mouth to taste them,” the class sang as they lay on the floor.‎ ‎“My only thought was to take their minds off that noise,” Rivera Alanis said. “So I thought of that song.”‎ Rivera Alanis`s school and those in several Mexican cities hit by drug violence have held emergency drills (应急演练) in the past to instruct teachers and students what to do in case of gunfire. Drug-related violence is said to have killed more than 35,000 people in Mexico over the past four years.‎ ‎“We do drills constantly（不断地),because the area where we are is a high-risk zone,” Rivera Alanis said, adding that the children “behaved in the way we had practiced”.‎ ‎28. Why was Rivera Alanis given a certificate?‎ ‎ A. To admire her courage. B. To award her filming skills.‎ ‎ C. To praise her teaching achievement. D. To reward her efforts to end the battle.‎ ‎29. Why did Rivera Alanis lead the kids in a song?‎ ‎ A. To comfort them. B. To practice the song. ‎ ‎ C. To make their break fun. D. To prepare for a performance.‎ ‎30. What can we infer about Rivera Alanis` s school?‎ ‎ A. It` s full of violence. B. It has strict discipline（纪律）.‎ ‎ C. It`s in an unpeaceful area. D. It provides various activities.‎ ‎31. What is the best title for the text?‎ ‎ A. A video becomes an Internet hit ‎ ‎ B. Stay calm and stick to the plan ‎ C. Gunfire heard in Mexico primary schools ‎ ‎ D. Top class: singing through a shoot-out D Why do we like drinking water from plastic bottles? Some people think it is healthy and clean. Others drink bottled water because it’s easy — you can carry it around with you. In hot countries, like Greece, we often buy bottles of cold water in the summer.‎ However, making lots of plastic is not a good idea for many reasons. First of all, we need a lot of oil for plastic products. We usually use oil as a source of energy. If we reduced the number of bottles we made, we wouldn’t need so much oil. Plastic bottles also pollute the environment. If we reused all our plastic bottles, we wouldn’t need so much space for rubbish dumps. But in Greece, we don’t reuse much of the plastic we use. In 2006, Greeks reused only about 10% of plastic waste. The rest became rubbish on land and in rivers and seas.‎ So next time you want to throw away a plastic bottle in the rubbish bin, stop and think. If you reuse it, you would help the environment. But what can you do when there isn’t a rubbish bin near you? Well, there are lots of useful ways that you can use your bottles again. For example, an empty bottle makes a great piggy bank for your pocket money, and if you cut a bottle in half, you will have a plant pot. Go green! You can make a difference.‎ 32. What is not mentioned about bottled water in the first paragraph?‎ A. It’s healthy. B. It’s clean. C. It’s easy. D. It’s expensive.‎ 33. Plastic products are made from .‎ A. energy B. oil C. rubbish D. plants 34. Which is the best way to deal with used plastic bottles?‎ A. To reuse them. B. To make a piggy bank.‎ C. To make a plant pot. D. To drop them into the river.‎ 35. The last sentence in this passage tells us “ ”.‎ A. To make a different life, you’d better go outside.‎ B. To look different, you’d better wear green clothes.‎ C. To protect the environment, you can do something.‎ D. To go green, you should use plastic products.‎ 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项。‎ The Winner’s Guide to Success How do successful people think? What helps them to make success? To find out the answers, ‎ an American scholar recently visited some of the most successful people in America. 36 .‎ Be responsible for yourself Sometimes you may want to blame others for your failure to get ahead. In fact, when you say someone or something outside of yourself is stopping you from making success, you’re giving away your own power. You’re saying, “You have more control over my life than I do.”‎ Live life “on purpose”‎ Almost all successful people live life “on purpose”. 37 .When you live your life on purpose, you’ll try your best to do your job or study as well as you can. You love what you do and you can find pleasure in what you do.‎ Write a plan It is very difficult trying to get what you want without a good plan. It is just like trying to drive through strange roads to a city far away. 38 Without this “map”, you may waste your time, money and also your energy; while with the “map” you’ll enjoy the “trip” and get what you want in the shortest possible time. ‎ Be willing to pay the price Nothing great is easy to get. So you must be ready to work hard-even harder than you have ever done. If you are not willing to pay the price, you won’t get anything valuable.‎ ‎ 39 ‎ It seems to us that everyone knows this. But it is easier said than done. When you are doing something, you must tell yourself again and again: Giving up is worse than failure because failure can be the mother of success, but giving up means the death of hope.‎ Don’t delay Once an American writer was writing a novel. He could not have a good ending for his book until one night when he had a very good idea. He was so excited that he made a phone call to one of ‎ his best friends. “I’ve got a perfect idea,” he said, “I’ll put it down later and show it to you.” But he never did, because he died that night. His book was left without a perfect ending. 40 . Never put off the things you want to do.‎ A. Some people achieve success much later in life because they fail to realize earlier the importance of hard work.‎ B. So remember, do what you can right away.‎ C. Never give up.‎ D. A good plan is like a map to you.‎ E. Here are some keys to success that they give.‎ F. They are doing what they believe they should and want to do. ‎ G. Make a decision.‎ 第三部分：英语知识应用（共两节，满分45分） 第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下面短文，掌握其大意；然后从41—60各小题所给的四个选项中选出一个最佳答案。‎ My father often works very hard. And he 41 goes to the movies.
