C、D）中，选出最佳选项，在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ A While there are many fascinating countries in the world to visit, I think there is something more adventurous, exotic (异国风情的) and romantic about visiting an island country. Take a look at some breathtakingly beautiful island countries in the world, which everyone should certainly visit at least once in his lifetime.‎ Malta Malta is a beautiful southern European country in the Mediterranean Sea, which has a rich history and culture. There are amazing sky-high cliffs to climb, splendid temples to explore and lots of wonderful places to go scuba-diving. In fact, there are plenty of interesting things to see and to do in Malta and this island country has something for everyone. The historic part of Malta is shown in its incredible architecture, great walled cities, and many underground tunnels.‎ Fiji Fiji is a fabulous island that has plenty of surprises for any adventurous travelers. It is famous for the worlds best surf scenes, and many surfing enthusiasts travel to Fiji yearly to ride the great wives. Well, if surfing is not for you and you love sitting on the beach and relaxing, hiking or seeing breathtaking waterfalls, Fiji is certainly the best island country to visit.‎ Maldives Not only is Maldives one of the most beautiful island countries, but it is one of the most popular honeymoon destinations. Situated in the middle of the Indian Ocean, Maldives is made up of a series of ancient coral reefs that grow up along the sides of ancient volcanoes, with fascinating beaches and luxurious resorts.‎ ‎21. In Malta, you can ________.‎ A. see breathtaking waterfalls B. explore temples and tunnels C. ride the great waves D. hike in the hills ‎22. What is the special feature about Fiji?‎ A. You can take a yacht free in this country.‎ B. There are sky-high cliffs to climb,‎ C. 11 is surfing enthusiasts’ favorite island county.‎ D. If you once visited it, you wouldn’t like to go there again.‎ ‎23. If a newly-married couple are looking for the honeymoon destination, they will choose________.‎ A. Malta B. Fiji C. the Mediterranean Sea D. Maldives B Elephants in Uganda are starting to come close to villages near national parks. The big animals are a real danger to people.‎ So, the Uganda Wildlife Authority has been giving people new tools to keep the elephants away: vuvuzelas. They are plastic instruments some fans use at sports events.‎ The instruments make a loud sound elephants do not like. The animals leave, and no one is harmed. A spokesperson for the Uganda Wildlife Authority says vuvuzelas work because they do not threaten the elephants. That is important because an elephant that feels threatened is more likely to attack. So far, no one has reported an elephant attacking in answer to a vuvuzela.‎ Officials and villagers have tried other ways to stop elephants from coming near farms and houses. They have built beehives – houses for flying insects that sting. They have hung ropes covered in spicy oil. They have dug long, deep holes. And they have used guns, called A-K47s.‎ An official from the Uganda Wildlife Authority explains that people shoot the gun in the air to scare the elephant. But over time, the elephants have stopped being afraid of the sound of the gun. They only look at the shooter and wave their ears.‎ Another official for the Uganda Wildlife Authority, Gessa Simblicious, says one ‎ elephant-prevention solution will not work everywhere in Uganda. And one day, elephants may accept the vuvuzela noise, just as they do the sound of the A-K47.‎ But right now, vuvuzelas are an effective, non-violent and fun way to deal with a serious problem.‎ ‎24. What’s vuvuzelas?‎ A. New tools some fans use at sports events.‎ B. New tool to save the elephants.‎ C. Plastic instruments to keep the elephants away.‎ D. Plastic instruments to threaten the elephants.‎ ‎25. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?‎ A. Vuvuzelas work because they do not threaten the elephants.‎ B. An elephants will attack human being in answer to a vuvuzela,‎ C. Villagers have no way to stop elephants.‎ D. The elephants are always afraid of the sound of the gun.‎ ‎26. People shoot the gun in the air in order to ________.‎ A. shoot the elephants away B. let the elephants stop being afraid of the sound C. avoid the elephants hurting people D. scare the elephants to leave the village ‎27. The author believes that ________.‎ A. elephants are not afraid of vuvuzelas B. Vuvuzelas can not stop elephants C. vuvuzelas can solve this serious problem forever D. elephants are used to the sound of vuvuzelas now C It is quite reasonable to blame traffic jams, the cost of gas and the great speed of modern life, but manners on the road are becoming horrible. Everybody knows that the nicest men would become fierce tigers behind the wheel. It is all right to have a tiger in a cage, but to have one in the driver’s seat is another matter. ‎ Road politeness is not only good manners, but good sense too. It takes the most ‎ cool-headed drivers great patience to give up the desire to beat back when forced to face rude driving. On the other hand, a little politeness goes a long way towards reducing the possibility of quarrelling and fighting. A friendly nod or a wave of thanks in answer to an act of politeness helps to create an atmosphere of good will and becomes so necessary in modern traffic conditions. But such behaviors of politeness are by no means enough. Many drivers nowadays don’t even seem able to recognize politeness when they see it.‎ However, misplaced politeness can also be dangerous. Typical examples are the driver who waves a child crossing the street at a wrong place into the path of oncoming cars that may not be able to stop in time. The same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they want to. It always amazes me that the highways are not covered with the dead bodies of these grannies (奶奶).‎ An experienced driver, whose manners are faultless, told me it would help if drivers learnt to correctly join in traffic stream without causing total blockages that give rise to unpleasant feelings. Unfortunately, modern drivers can’t even learn to drive. Years ago, experts warned us that the fast increase of the car ownership would demand more give-and-take from all road users. It is high time for all of us to take this message to heart.‎ ‎28. According to the passage, troubles on the road are often caused by ________.‎ A. road conditions B. the behavior of the drivers C. the speed of modem life D. the large number of cars ‎29. In the writer’s opinion, ________.‎ A. unskillful drivers should be punished B. strict traffic rules are badly needed C. drivers should show road politeness properly D. drivers should avoid traffic jams ‎30. The underlined word “give-and-take” in the passage means ________.‎ A. politeness and impoliteness B. good manners and bad manners C. willingness to give in to each other’s wishes D. offering help to others as much as possible ‎31. What is the best title of the passage?‎ A. Traffic Problems B. Road Politeness C. Bad Manners on the Road D. Good Drivers and Bad Drivers D Your next Saturday night takeaway could be brought to you by a robot after a major food delivery company announced plans to use automated vehicles to transport meals. Europe’s biggest online takeaway food company Just Eat has partnered with Starship Technologies to deliver food with robots on the streets of London later this month. “Nobody has ever done deliveries with land-based robots,” said Allan Martinson, the chief operating officer of Starship.‎ The robot courier can travel up to 4 miles per hour for about 10 miles. It uses a GPS signal and nine cameras to navigate (确定方向). Instead of a person arriving at their door, customers could find themselves receiving a notification (通知) on their phone that says a robot is on its way and a code to unlock the automated courier. “Put the code in, the robot opens up, and there’s your food,” said David Buttress, chief manager of Just Eat.‎ The robot, which has so far been tested in Greenwich, Milton Keynes and Glastonbury, costs ￡1 to transport within 3 miles, compared with the ￡3 to ￡6 it costs for a human courier. To date 30 robots have driven nearly 5,000 miles without getting into an accident or finding themselves picked on by passers-by. They have driven in more than 40 cities around the world, including London and Tallinn, Estonia.‎ An initial worry was how the public would react to robots. But Martinson said the public has been calm when passing the delivery machine on the streets. “The most surprising reaction has been the lack of reaction,” said Martinson.‎ Another significant fear was that people would disrupt (扰乱) the robots, or try to steal them and their contents. To prevent this, the robot is fitted with nine cameras, two way audio, and movement sensors that send a warning if it is lifted off the ground. And it opens only with a pass code provided to the customer via a notification. “It’s much easier to shoplift than it is to steal a robot,” said Martinson.‎ ‎32. According to the text, the Starship robot ________.‎ A. opens up upon hearing the code B. travels 10 miles per hour at most C. finds its way by means of GPS and cameras D. sends a message to the customer upon arrival ‎33. The test of Starship robots shows that ________.‎ A. they are easy to operate B. the robot delivery is appreciated in big cities C. the robot delivery is cheaper than human delivery D. they can travel for 10 hours continuously ‎34. Which of the following is one of the worries about Starship robots?‎ A. People’s indifference to the robots B. Safety of the robot delivery C. Accuracy of the robot delivery _‎ D. People’s concern about public traffic ‎35. The purpose of the text is mainly to ________.‎ A. describe the great improvement of Just Eat B. tell about the global trend of Food Companies C. show new robots are to move on the road D. show delivery robots are to replace takeaway drivers 笫二节（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符合各段大意的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余迭项。（注：选E涂AB；涂F涂AC；选G涂AD）‎ Although most games have winners and losers, the goal of sports is not to win every game. The real goals include getting exercise, having fun, and learning important social skills, like sportsmanship.‎ Good sportsmanship is all about respect.
