Travelling through this amazing scenery is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.‎ Jeronimos Monastery Travel to the Belem district at the entrance to the port of Lisbon to find the Jeronimos Monastery, which dates back to the 15th century. This highly religious building was constructed and donated to the monks （和尚）of Saint Hieronymus to pray for sailors on their voyages. It's the characteristic of Portuguese Gothic style.‎ Old Quebec Founded by the French explorer Samuel de Champlain in 1608, Quebec is among the oldest settlements in North America and one of the most popular travel destinations in Canada. Centuries-old attraction is on ‎ full display in its perfectly preserved historic district, a shining example of a city built by early settlers with stone paths, churches? and landmarks like Chateau Frontenac and Place Royale.‎ Angkor Wat Exploring Angkor Wat in Siem Reap, Cambodia tops our list of unforgettable trips that won't break the bank.

Low expenses.‎ B Back in November 1988, Robert Tappan Morris was a 20-something graduate student at Cornell who wanted to know how big the Internet was—that is, how many computers were connected to it. So he wrote a program that would travel from computer to computer and ask each machine to send a signal back to a control server, which would keep count. That was how the world's first cyber （网络）attack set the stage for modern cyber security challenges.‎ The program worked well. Morris had known that if it traveled too fast there might be problems, but the limits he built in weren't enough to keep the program from blocking up large sections of the Internet, both copying itself to new machines and sending those pings （电子脉冲）back. When he realized what was happening, even his messages warning system administrators about the problem couldn't get through. Large numbers of Internet- connected computers are told to send lots of traffic to one particular address, overloading it with so much activity that either the system shuts down or its network connections are completely blocked. Morris's program is now known as the “Morris worm".‎ Worms and viruses are similar, but different in one key way： A virus needs a command, from a user or a hacker （黑客）,to run its program. A worm, by contrast, hits the ground running all on its own. For example? even if you never open your email program, a worm that gets onto your computer might email a copy of itself to everyone in your address book.‎ In a time when few people were concerned about harmful software and nobody had protective software in his computer, the Morris worm spread quickly. It took 72 hours for researchers at Purdue and Berkeley to stop the worm. It affected tens of thousands of systems. Cleaning up the infection cost hundreds or thousands of dollars for each affected machine.‎ Morris wasn't trying to destroy the Internet, but he was sentenced to three years of probation （缓刑）and a roughly US $ 10,000 fine. In the late 1990s, though, he became a dot-com millionaire——and is now a professor at MIT.‎ ‎24. What is Morris's intention to write the program known now as the "Morris worm"?‎ ‎ A. To test the effect of protective software.‎ ‎ B. To start a harmful attack on the Internet.‎ ‎ C. To see how well a program can work on the Internet.‎ ‎ D. To get the number of the computers connected to the Internet.‎ ‎25. What is the second paragraph mainly about?‎ ‎ A. What loss the problem caused.‎ ‎ B. How the problem was dealt with.‎ ‎ C. How the unexpected problem came about.‎ ‎ D. What Morris did to prevent the problem from expanding.‎ ‎26. What does the underlined part “hits the ground" in Paragraph 3 mean?‎ ‎ A. Copies itself. B. Gets on the Internet.‎ ‎ C. Gets the user's command. D. Copies your email address book.‎ ‎27. What happened to Morris after the attack?‎ ‎ A. He was punished for it. B. He invented a protective software.‎ ‎ C. He got help from a millionaire. D. He was asked to clear up the Internet.‎ C I grew up in California but have spent about four years living in various parts of the UK. The first thing I noticed was that my West-Midlands host family did not sound like the queen. I've since learnt that accents change almost every five miles. As far as America goes, I can tell the West Coast from the East or the South, but I can't tell you a state, much less a county（郡）.‎ The next thing I couldn't imagine was the quiet, stare-ahead norm of public transportation一if you talk to somebody on the Tube, you're probably a serial killer or a lost tourist.‎ I've had to deal with the Tube from Heathrow to Victoria with heavy bags more times and Victoria Station is not exactly tourist friendly. Each time I've had someone walk up and ask to help with my bags. Not once have they been English. In America, at least from what I've experienced, people will start a chat if they see you’re travelling by yourself, and I always immediately have someone taller offer to put my things in an overhead bin （行李箱）.‎ Opening hours一especially Sunday trading laws have also taken so much to get used to. In America, 24/7 fast food, grocery stores, petrol stations, etc. are the norm. In my first year in the UK, I forgot it was Easter Sunday, and went into town at 2: 00 pm. Imagine my surprise when I found the city center was deserted, and there wasn't a single car at Tesco. Approaching the building, I saw a large sign announcing opening times. I had to make do with plain bread until 9 : 00 am Monday, when I'd be able to pay for groceries again.‎ Speaking of groceries, it took so many people telling me I was crazy to convince me to eat eggs here一they're not refrigerated, and they'll often have bits of feather or chicken waste on the outside. I am now aware that they're safe, but coming from a childhood of perfectly clean, white, large AAA eggs, I was convinced I'd die a terrible salmonella （沙门氏菌）death.‎ ‎28. What's the author's impression of the transportation of the UK?‎ ‎ A.It's very dangerous to use public transportations.‎ ‎ B. It's easy for a tourist to get lost on public transportations.‎ ‎ C. British people willingly offer help on public transportations.‎ ‎ D. British people don't talk to each other on public transportations.‎ ‎29. What happened on Easter Sunday in the author's first year in the UK?‎ ‎ A. He left the city center. B. He failed to buy any food.‎ ‎ C. A supermarket closed down. D. A restaurant opened in a tall building.‎ ‎30. What is a good suggestion to a foreigner in the UK?‎ ‎ A. Try to speak like the queen.‎ ‎ B. Avoid eating unhealthy eggs.‎ ‎ C. Store some plain bread in the fridge.‎ ‎ D. Pay attention to the opening hours of the shops.‎ ‎31. What's the best title for the text?‎ ‎ A. How to Get Used to Life in the UK ‎ B. What do I Find Strange about the UK ‎ C. How Difficult It Is to Travel in the UK ‎ D. What Can a Foreigner Expect in the UK D Scientists in New Zealand have found fossilized (化石的) leg bones from a penguin believed to have been about the size of an adult human. The previously undiscovered giant penguin species likely stood about 1.6 meters tall and weighed up to 80 kilograms.‎ The penguin existed about 60 million years ago. The bones are believed to be from the oldest of several species of giant penguins that lived after dinosaurs died out. A fossil hunter found the bones last year in the Waipara River bed near the city of Christchurch. The bones are from the animal’s legs and feet. Scientists confirmed that the bones came from a newly discovered species.‎ Paul Scofield is senior curator (馆长) at New Zealand’s Canterbury Museum. He co-wrote a paper on the discovery. He said that the bones are an important find. They show that the species is similar to another giant penguin found in Antarctica in 2000. The latest discovery, he said, helps show a clear connection between the two areas during the Paleocene period. This period lasted from 66 million to 56 million years ago.‎ Scofield said the penguins were able to grow larger after entering a new development period following the extinction of dinosaurs, sea reptiles and huge fish. Scofield added that the giant penguins became extinct within 30 million years, as large mammals began to rule the waters.‎ John Cockrem is a penguin expert at the country’s Massey University who was also not involved in the research. He said the discovery helps add to what we know about giant penguins. He said it also confirmed New Zealand as the penguin center of the world.‎ New Zealand is believed to have been home to many giant bird species that later disappeared. These included the world’s largest parrot, a giant eagle and an emu-like bird called the moa. Recently,Canterbury Museum announced the discovery of an unusually large parrot believed to have lived about 19 million years ago. Scientists say the bird stood about one meter tall.‎ ‎32. What is special about the penguin found in New Zealand?‎ ‎ A. The place it lived in. B. The age of its existence.‎ ‎ C. Its species and size. D. Its shape and habits.‎ ‎33. Why did the giant penguins die out?‎ ‎ A. Large mammals controlled the sea. B. They were killed out by huge fish.‎ ‎ C. Climate changes were not fit for them. D. They grew too large to feed themselves.‎ ‎34. What do we know from the last paragraph?‎ ‎ A. All kinds of penguins live in New Zealand.‎ ‎ B. Many giant birds used to exist in New Zealand.‎ ‎ C. The world’s largest parrot lives in New Zealand.‎ ‎ D. New Zealand owns the most bird species in the world.‎ ‎35. What can be a suitable title for the text?‎ ‎ A. Similar Penguin Fossils Have Been Found Again ‎ B. An Ancient Creature Has Been Found in New Zealand ‎ C. Some Giant Penguins Appeared after Dinosaurs Died Out ‎ D. Scientists Found Bones from Giant Penguin in New Zealand 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。‎ ‎ Putting children in daycare helps working parents take their minds off childcare. ____36___. How daycare negatively affects children is related to many factors. One study has suggested that some children who spend long hours in daycare centers experience more stress than those who spend more time in a setting with a mother.‎ ‎ Another study has shown that children who are shy have a higher level of the hormone cortisol(皮质醇) which is released when an individual shows signs of stress. ___37____. And as a result the child may not mix with the other children and the teachers at the daycare center, a situation that can cause stress.‎ ‎ Another negative impact of daycare is that there is less communication between a mother and her child. ___38___ . So it is essential for a child to develop a deep bond with his or her mother, since this will lay the foundation for all the relationships he or she will form later on in life. Children who spend a lot of time with their mothers experience healthy social and emotional development, while long hours in daycare can disrupt this bonding. Children who lose out on precious mother - child bonding are observed to have behavioral problems as they grow older. ‎ ‎ Children in daycare centers also feel unprotected compared to children at home. In a daycare center, when one caregiver attends to more than one child at the same time, she may not be able to look deeply into whether a child is mixing well or not. ___39___. Another negative aspect of daycare is that children there are more likely to fall ill if they come in contact with sick children.‎ ‎ ____40_____. Well - maintained daycare centers contribute a great deal to the overall development of a child by providing a structured environment. Children become more social by interacting with other children of the same age, and learn new activities that are not always available if they are brought up only at home.‎ ‎ A. But daycare has its disadvantages.‎ ‎ B. Look for a daycare center that is well - maintained.‎ ‎ C. However, the advantages of daycare cannot be ignored.‎ ‎ D. This is because a shy child will not open up freely in public.‎ ‎ E. Babies become extremely attached to their primary caregivers.‎ ‎ F. In such cases, a child may become either completely quiet or aggressive.‎ ‎ G. You can cut the time in daycare centers by making alternative childcare arrangements.‎ 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 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。‎ The snow was falling and the roads had become dangerous. The schools were dismissed early, but much to my surprise, my 41 wasn’t canceled. So I went, feeling especially heroic. As far as I could see, I was risking my life to keep my 42 . Snow or no snow, I would be on time for my scheduled donation at the local 43 center.‎ When I got there, I discovered I wasn’t 44 . Four more “hero-types” were already lying back in donor chairs with lines 45 to their veins（ 静 脉 ）, and machines quietly pumping away to 46 their life--saving gifts.‎ Seeing my fellow donors honoring their own commitments, I realized why I was there. I lay back in my donor chair, ready to make a 47 to the life of someone I would never 48 .‎ To be honest, I’d never really thought about why I donate. I just did it. 49 a few months ago, during one of my 50 donations I learned that my blood was specifically for a cancer patient and for a newborn baby — both patients needed what I would give in order to live. I’ve viewed my visits to the blood center 51 ever since.‎ My wife Karen is a 52 , too. And more importantly, she has been on the bone marrow (骨髓) list for fifteen years, ever since she 53 to provide bone marrow to a kindergartner with leukemia(白血病). That little girl died before Karen's bone marrow could help her, but Karen was called again recently. Her test results were still on file, and it turned out she was a potential 54 for someone else. The caller asked Karen if she would still be willing to become a bone marrow donor. " Yes," she said and then immediately began answering questions on the pages of paperwork for further testing. It was to 55 against time.‎ I wish I could say that this race was 56 . Unluckily, it wasn’t. The caller later thanked Karen for her participation and asked a few more questions — including whether or not she’d 57 on the donor list. “Of course,” Karen answered.‎ We still keep making appointments. I don’t know whose life my donation may 58 . Most likely it will be a 59 , but on some day the person needing blood could be you or me or maybe a loved one. It is worthwhile to 60 our time to donate.

Keep your mind active and your body will stay young, too. These are exciting times. Take an interest in the world around you, and make a point of learning one new thing every day.‎ Never think about your age, it’s not too late to make your life more interesting. I know a house wife who became a famous industrial designer; I know a retired electrical engineer who has become a highly paid artist.‎ Get over the idea that you are too old to go back to college. I know a man who entered medical school at 70. He got his degree with honors and became a top doctor. Another man went to law school at 71 and is now an active lawyer.‎ Even if you are getting on in years, staying young is easy for those who live for the future. You can do it if you care enough to try. Keep your mind alive and active; this is the key to staying young, and it will certainly work.‎ 阅读理解 A 本文是一篇应用文。介绍了四处不同的世界文化遗址。‎ ‎21. 【答案】A ‎【解析】根据文章对第一处遗址介绍中的…Los Glaciares National Park is a heaven of mountains, lakes, and countless glaciers （冰丿l|） that cover half the 600,000-hectare expanse.可知。故选 A。‎ ‎22. 【答案】C ‎【解析】根据文章对第二处遗址介绍中的This highly religious building was constructed and donated to the monks （和尚）of Saint Hieronymus to pray for sailors on their voyages.和对第四处遗址介绍中的This great temple complex was originally constructed as a place of showing respect to the god Vishnu and is the largest religious structure on the planet!
