It was created in 1989 in Kansas City, Missouri by world-famous dancer and director Alvin Ailey. About 1,000 students in 10 U. S. states take part in AileyCamp every year. ‎ In addition to dance, the camp introduces students to visual arts, creative writing and other communication skills. It also teaches them how to eat well, solve conflicts and become leaders. ‎ American Anai Espinoza is in the eighth grade. This summer, she took part in AileyCamp. Each morning, she and other campers would say several phrases together. Her favorite is this: "I am in control." Espinoza said, "It makes me believe I have the power to choose the right thing."‎ Dianne Caroil Sales directs the AileyCamp in Atlanta, Georgia. When the camp is over, the city's professional ballet company offers 10 students a full-tuition scholarship for a year of training. The scholarship can be renewed. ‎ Kameron Davis received one of those scholarships when he was a young man. He trained with the Atlanta Ballet for three years. Then he became a dance teacher. Davis said he does not think his mother could have paid for dance classes without the scholarship. ‎ Davis said children at school made fun of him when he began dancing. AileyCamp, he said, offered him a safe place and increased his confidence. Today, he enjoys giving back to the program ‎ by helping new campers build their confidence, too. ‎ ‎"It's an open door to finding new things, doing new things," Davis said. "When I got to AileyCamp, it just reassured me that, ‘Hey, it's okay. Everybody is different. You shouldn't be judged by what you do just because not a lot of people do it.’"‎ ‎24. What do we know about AileyCamp?‎ A. It aims at poor people of all ages. ‎ B. It prepares campers for future jobs. ‎ C. It is a non-profit camp providing various courses. ‎ D.

What's Davis' attitude towards AileyCamp?‎ A. Negative. B. Supportive. C. Indifferent. D. Critical. ‎ C Do the names Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter ring a bell? They probably do because they are some of the most popular sites on the internet today. They're called social networking sites because they allow people to interact by sharing news and personal information, photos, videos, as well as communicate through chatting or messaging one another. ‎ The first social networking site, Six Degrees, was launched in May 1997. Like Facebook today, users could create profiles and connect with friends. But in an era (时代)of dial-up internet connections and limited bandwidth(宽带). Six Degrees had only limited impact online. In the late 90s, most people didn't use the web to interact with other people. They just browse, the sites and took advantage of the information or resources provided. ‎ In 2002 a site named Friendster took the internet by storm. It was the first true social networking site, where people could post personal information, create profiles, connect with friends, and find others with similar interests. The following year, MySpace debuted(首次露面). It included ‎ many of the same features as Facebook and was especially popular with bands and musicians, who could share their music with others for free.‎ As internet connections became faster and computers more powerful, social media became more popular. Facebook was launched in 2004, first as a social networking site for college students. YouTube was launched the following year, allowing people to post videos they made or found online. Twitter was launched in 2006. The appeal wasn't just being able to connect and share with others; there was also a chance you could become famous.‎ The debut of Apple's iPhone in 2007 ushered in the era of the smartphone. Now, people could take their social networking with them wherever they went, accessing their favorite sites at the tap of an app. ‎ ‎28. The function of social networking sites is to .‎ A. browse different websites B. help users to become famous C. take advantage of online resources D. allow people to interact and communicate ‎29. What can we learn from this text?. ‎ A. MySpace debuted in 2003. ‎ B. YouTube was launched before Facebook. ‎ C. Six Degrees was the first true social networking site. ‎ D. Twitter can't provide a chance for you to become famous. ‎ ‎30. What does the underlined phrase "ushered in" in paragraph 5 probably mean?‎ A. referred to B. led to C. focused on D. took on ‎31. What is this passage mainly about?‎ A. The use of social media. B. The popularity of social media. ‎ C. The advantages of social media. D. The development of social media. ‎ D A new study from Lund University in Sweden shows that the presence or absence of moonlight has a considerable effect on when migratory(迁徙的)birds take flight in the autumn. ‎ Together with his colleagues, Gabriel Norevik studied European nightjars (夜莺)and how the lunar cycle and moonlight affects the leaving time when the birds start their three-month-long migration flight to areas south of the Sahara. ‎ Using miniature data loggers the researchers recorded the activity of 39 European nightjars over ‎ a one-year period. The result shows that the birds begin their autumn migration south about ten days after the full moon, and that the individual birds synchronise(同速进行)the migration and fly off more or less at the same time. “ It surprised us that the lunar cycle and the time the birds spent on hunting insects co-vary so well. This in turn affects their migration pattern in such a way that they synchronise their flight so that almost all of them fly off at the same time ten days after the full moon." says Gabriel Norevik, European nightjars use their sight when they hunt at night. In the moonlight they find it easier to catch flying insects and refill their energy reserves. ‎ The birds migrate in three stages from Sweden and northern Europe to wintering sites south of the Sahara. Each stage follows the same pattern: first the moon provides double of the light for the birds to hunt insects, and the next stage of the migration starts ten days after the full moon. ‎ The researchers doubt whether other animals also adapt to the lunar cycle when they migrate. "We will go on to examine that and what effects this type of synchronised migration has on the birds themselves and their surroundings." says Gabriel Norevik.‎ ‎32. What can we learn from paragraph 3?‎ A. 39 European nightjars were charted over a one-life period. ‎ B. European nightjars catch flying insects more easily by means of moonlight. ‎ C. The individual birds start the migration ten days later than group birds. ‎ D. The lunar cycle and the ending of the binds’ migration co-vary very well. ‎ ‎33. Which of the following statements is true?‎ A. The birds’ migration has three patterns. ‎ B. The birds migrate to northern Europe for food. ‎ C. The stage of the migration starts after the full moon. ‎ D. European nightjars' migration is from August to December. ‎ ‎34. What might be examined in the following study?‎ A. Nightjars' habitat. B. Absence of the moon. ‎ C. Other birds' migration. D. Insects' surroundings. ‎ ‎35. What can be a suitable title for the text?‎ A. Migration Flight and the Moon B. Migratory Birds and Autumn C. Ten Days Makes a Difference D. European Nightjars Need to Migrate 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。‎ Smart tips for budget-conscious travelers Traveling can be an experience of a lifetime. Being in the center of another culture is both exciting and eye opening. 36 Still, here are four smart tips for the budget-conscious traveler. ‎ Don’t Travel During Peak Season. ‎ ‎ 37 In Manhattan, New York, it's during the Winter Holidays. In Cebu, Philippines, it’s the Summer months. Traveling during these peak times is a sure way to mean higher prices and large crowds. A great way to avoid all of this is to simply go when it's not high season. ‎ ‎ 38 ‎ Within most regions there are local airlines that provide inexpensive solutions to getting around. This is especially handy when you have multiple destinations in mind for your trip. All you have to do is look up Mango flight bookings and you're on your way. Once you're in a region, getting around gets much simpler and a whole lot cheaper. ‎ Choose Smarter Accommodations. ‎ Hotel chains and expensive options may be nice, but they're the opposite of a budget friendly experience. 39 If you're an app savvy(应用高手), you can also check out room share options like Airbnb. They have an extensive network of apartments and units in wonderful neighborhoods for those who prefer a more local feel. ‎ Don't Spend All Your Money On Food. ‎ One of the best things about travel is you get to enjoy all the wonderful food. Tasting the authentic versions of your favorite dishes is an absolute delight. But be careful, having a few good meals out is to be expected. But having every meal at an expensive restaurant is a very quick way to drain your wallet. 40 ‎ A. Use Flight Bookings. ‎ B. Use Regional Airlines. ‎ C. Every region has a peak season. ‎ D. Also, it allows us to relax our busy heads. ‎ E. Instead, try and find doable hostel (青年旅社) options. ‎ F. But traveling can seem too expensive. ‎ G. Feel free to try out the local snacks and stands. ‎ 第三部分 英语知识运用(共两节，满分45分)‎ 第一节 完形填空(共20题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)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 son Leon's passion for surfing began at 13.
