During this time, we show them respect they deserve and appreciate the opportunity to see these wonderful animals at play.‎ As a bonus, the amazing bird life is always there and changes through the seasons.‎ We will do our best during the cruise to locate the animals for you to experience, but, of course, they don’t always co-operate and are sometimes beyond our view. Therefore, unfortunately, we cannot guarantee sightings.‎ How to book Phone 0413 666 638 for prices and bookings.‎ Don’t forget to ask about our family ticket special.‎ Seniors and group discounts also available.‎ ‎21.

You will enjoy bird sightings during the cruise.‎ D. We can promise you to watch all the wild animals.‎ B ‎“Do you have any idea how hard it is to be a kid?!” My 7-year-old once asked me. My initial reaction to her complaint (抱怨) was eye-rolling, along with thinking, “Being a kid is hard? Are you kidding me?” as I mentally counted all the ‎ hard things that her grown-up mama did.‎ However, as I thought about it a bit more, I realized how silly my reaction had been. Yes, as we adults look back on our childhood, being a kid seems carefree and easy and full of fun. Coloring at school! Playing games! Riding bikes! How could that be hard? So I asked my daughter why being a kid was so hard.‎ ‎“Well, because you don’t have your own phone, and you can’t eat in the living room,” she said.‎ I asked if anything else was hard about being a kid. “Someone else is the boss of you,” she replied.‎ I thought some more. What else is hard about being a kid? Well, sometimes, we don’t really take kids seriously.‎ There are times when I’ve responded to my children’s tears with “It’s not bad,” or “You don’t need to be upset about that.” Because I believe that a cancelled playdate or a lost toy is no big deal. But for my little ones, it is.‎ We don’t intentionally ignore these opportunities for connection, but sometimes, in busy moments of parenting, we respond unskillfully. We don’t put ourselves in our children’s shoes, and we miss an opportunity to practice compassion.‎ Compassion means “to feel with” or “to suffer with” another person. It means seeing something the way they do, and experiencing it with them.‎ Here’s what I’ve learned about being a more compassionate parent, and I hope other parents can do the same thing.‎ ‎24. What was the author’s attitude towards “being a kid is hard” in the first place?‎ A. Disagreeing B. Agreeing C. Shocked D. Worried ‎25. The author seemed to .‎ A. do hard things at school B. have a happy childhood C. feel bored in childhood D. love drawing at school ‎26. The author’s daughter complained about .‎ A. attending school B. boring toys C. lacking freedom D. terrible meals ‎27. According to the author, parents should .‎ A. do the same things as their children B. share their stories with their children C. give more attention to their children D. balance the time spent on work and the family C Jennifer Fish, a weather forecaster may soon be replaced by something truly fishier---the shark. ‎ Research by a British biology student suggests that sharks could be used to predict storms.‎ Laura Smith, 24, is close to completing her study on shark’s ability to sense pressure.‎ If her studies prove the theory, scientists may be able to monitor the behaviour of sharks to predict bad weather.‎ Miss Smith had previously studied the behaviour of lemon sharks in the Bahamas.‎ She then used their close relatives, lesser spotted dogfish (猫鲨), for further research at Aberdeen University.‎ Her work---thought to be the first of its kind to test the pressure theory---resulted from the observation that juvenile blacktip sharks off Florida moved into deeper water ahead of a violent storm in 2001.‎ Miss Smith said: “I’ve always been crazy about traveling and diving and this led me to an interest in sharks.”‎ ‎“I was delighted to have been able to research in the area for my degree. I know there’s so much more we need to understand---but it certainly opens the way to more research.”‎ It has been discovered that a shark senses pressure using hair cells in its balance system.‎ At the Bimini Shark Lab in the Bahamas, Miss Smith fixed hi-tech sensors to sharks to record pressure and temperature, while also tracking them using GPS (Global Positioning System) technology.‎ In Aberdeen, she was able to study the effects of tidal (潮汐的) and temperature changes on dogfish---none of which were harmed. She also used a special lab which can mimic (模拟) oceanic pressure changes caused by weather fronts.‎ She is due to complete her study and graduate later this year. She says she will be looking for a job which will give her the chance to enrich her experience of shark research.‎ ‎28. The passage is most probably taken from .‎ A. a short-story collection B. a personal diary C. a research paper D. a popular science magazine ‎29. What do we learn from the first four paragraphs of the passage?‎ A. Jennifer Fish is not fit for her job.‎ B. Sharks’ behaviour can be controlled.‎ C. Sharks may be used to predict bad weather.‎ D. Laura Smith will become a weather forecaster.‎ ‎30. Laura Smith conducted her research by .‎ A. monitoring sharks’ reaction to weather changes B. measuring the air pressure of weather fronts C. recording sharks’ body temperature D. removing hair cells from a shark’s balance system ‎31. What is the passage mainly about?‎ A. A popular way of forecasting weather.‎ B. Biologists, interest in the secrets of sharks.‎ C. A new research effort in predicting storms.‎ D. Laura Smith’s devotion to scientific research.‎ D This could be Micah Fitz, first spring without football practices. The 14-year-old has been playing since he was 3, but because he’s home-schooled, he can’t try out for the local team at Patriot High School in Prince William County, Virginia.‎ ‎“I can’t play this half of the year and my friends are going to be playing five or six times a week,” he said. “They’re going to be getting better and stronger ‎ playing with kids that are good.”‎ Micah and his family---along with many other home-schooling families across Virginia---are hoping the Virginia General Assemble will approve a bill this year that would allow kids like him to try out for sports on public school athletic teams. The bill, called the “Tebow bill”, is named after football player Tim Tebow, who was home-schooled but was allowed to play on a high school team before going to the University of Florida, where he led his team to two national championships.‎ Many major statewide education organizations said the bill wouldn’t be fair to public school students. Ken Tilley, the executive director of the Virginia High School League, said the bill would violate two of the league’s most long-standing standards for qualification: enrollment (注册入学) and academic standing.‎ Home-school advocates argue that they are required by the law to document academic progress. But many opponents say students always have the option of attending public high school. That might be what Sydney Bowman, a 12-year-old from Luchetts, will do to keep wrestling, although she would prefer to continue to be taught at home. In her case, girls’ wrestling teams are rare enough that there aren’t many options other than public school.‎ But Micah’ mom, Terri Fits, a former public school teacher, said that although they support the local schools and love to cheer on the teams, they like the flexibility of home-schooling.‎ ‎32. What kind of feeling is expressed in Paragraph 2?‎ A. Sympathy. B. Disappointment. C. Embarrassment. D. Satisfaction.‎ ‎33. If the bill is passed in Virginia, .‎ A. home-schoolers will be able to compete in public school sport events B. public high schools will accept home-schooled students C. home-schoolers will have to reach higher academic standards D. children will have the right to be taught at home ‎34. What was Ken Tilley’s attitude towards the bill?‎ A. He doubted it. B. He was against it.‎ C. He was curious about it. D. He paid little attention to it.‎ ‎35. Sydney Bows most likely to .‎ A. give up team sports B. stop taking part in wrestling C. go to a public high school D. report her academic progress 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。 ‎ Four smart ways to help build your children’s vocabulary ‎“Johnny next door can name his colors, but Gloria can hardly even say her own name. What am I doing wrong?” 36 But the good news is that children really are born to absorb the language around them. The following are some ways to help build your child’s vocabulary.‎ Never use baby talk Young children understand so much more than they can initially repeat. 37 Of course you are not going to start speaking to a baby in difficult English, but it’s important to speak to them the way that you’d speak to anybody else. Even if your child can’t or doesn’t use the same vocabulary when he talks, it is helping his language development.‎ Follow your child’s lead ‎ 38 Trying to turn her attention away from the clown (小丑) so that you can point out the word for “elephant”, is not only frustrating, but also it’s probably not doing much good. Instead of driving the conversation, you’ll be more successful in making words “stick”, if you look at what your child is paying attention to.‎ Encourage any kind of reading.‎ Even young kids who haven’t yet learned to read will memorize books that they’ve often heard. So go ahead and have your child “fill in” words as you’re reading together. 39 For older children who are already readers, it’s important to let ‎ them choose their own reading material.‎ ‎ 40 ‎ At two years of age, some kids may only use about 30 words while others may be able to use 300 words. But there, s very little evidence that those children with 30 words at age two will have worse outcomes by the time they are five or six years of age.‎ A. So don’t talk down to them.‎ B. Correct pronunciation gently.‎ C. Don’t panic if your child is slow to talk.‎ D. It will help with their vocabulary development.‎ E. That sort of comparison can lead to a lot of parental anxiety.‎ F. Let’s say you’re taking a trip to the circus with your young daughter.‎ G. The best thing that parents can do is really just talk to their children all the time.‎ 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小题；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，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。‎ The young seal couldn’t have been more than two days old, and yet he was all alone.

In order to control the rapid increase of population, in the 1980s the government of China began to put into practice the family program---one child for each couple.

On the other hand, the only child is selfish,‎ ‎ and not so independent. Sometimes they feel lonely. I think, every only child like me should learn to make more friends.‎ I hope that we write more often to each other.‎ Yours Li Hua ‎ ‎
