When people have to stop and read a map in the middle of a crowd of people, bad things can happen. Not only do people look like clueless(一无所知的) tourists that can be easily be taken advantage of, but they also risk wandering into the wrong place. Therefore, it is best to review bathrooms, security, and medical services before heading to the park.‎ Watch Those Kids Not everyone has children but those that do have to be aware of the kids at all times. Because there are crowds, children always run the risk of getting lost. Sometimes the parents aren’t paying close enough attention and other times the children are so excited about something that they run ahead and get lost in the crowd. When visit theme parks, a policy of holding hands is always good, especially with young children.‎ ‎ Take Less Baggage ‎ People will stay safer if they do not weigh themselves down with too much equipment and supplies. If people bring in too many things, they man set them down and get them stolen or create unbalanced situations where they have difficulty going through crowds.‎ ‎ Stay in Touch All Along ‎ Thanks to modern communication technology, people have the tools to stay in touch when they travel around an amusement park. This is why it is important to keep cell phones close and set loud enough so that they can be heard over the noise of the amusement park. A cell phone won’t prevent every problem, but it can help with communication and keep people up-to-date if something happens.‎ 21. The underlined word “homework” in Paragraph 2 probably refers to ____.‎ A. tasks that has to be done in the theme park ‎ B. written work given by the teacher at school ‎ C. preparations that should be made before travelling ‎ D. reading all kinds of maps at home ahead of time 22. If you bring many things with you while travelling, you’ll be ____.‎ A. enjoyable B. convenient C. confident D. worried 23. From the last paragraph, we can learn that ____.‎ A. children shouldn’t bring cell phones B. cell phones are useful in keeping safe ‎ C. technology is developing very rapidly D. people should keep up with modern technology 24. The author’s purpose in writing the passage is to show how to ___.‎ A. take good care of your children B. protect yourself from being injured ‎ C. ask for help when you are in trouble D. keep safe when visiting theme parks B While only 12 years old, it seems like Cameron Manor has done it all! She is the Butterfly Caretaker at the Environmental Nature Center. She also creates fun educational videos about science. She makes and delivers free cupcakes to the elderly, and a story she wrote was published in Stone Soup, an international kids’ magazine! Through all of her hard work she was even named a Discovery Girl’s example!‎ ‎ Cameron first started raising butterflies when her mother let her get her own butterfly growing kit(设备). After mailing in for the butterflies, Cameron received five black caterpillars(毛虫).‎ ‎ One of Cameron’s favorite parts about raising her butterflies was decorating the bottom of the cage with flower petals(花瓣) and freshly sliced oranges so the butterflies could eat. “For anyone wanting to attract their own butterflies, he can attract butterflies by planting herbs, flowers, and trees such as wild cherry, willow, maple, alder, birch, gooseberry, currant, wild rhododendron and cabbage. Each flower and plant attracts its own butterflies,” Cameron says.‎ ‎ Over the last six months Cameron has raised over seventy butterflies. Her love for and experience with nature helped her become the new Butterfly Caretaker. Right now the butterfly house is being built. “I look forward to the day the new caterpillars arrive, so then there will be butterflies once again in the house,” Cameron said excitedly. “I am also looking forward to leading tourists in the butterfly house, to teaching young children how they can be butterfly protectors and growers.”‎ ‎ She also has a love of science. And the coolest thing is that she is using her knowledge of science to make fun educational videos for others. Cameron’s first science video was made for a contest on Discovery Kids.‎ 21. What does Paragraph 1 mainly tell us?‎ A. Cameron’s goals B. Cameron’s studies ‎ C. Cameron’ s hobbies D. Cameron’s achievements 22. How did Cameron get her first caterpillars?‎ A. She bought them B. Someone sent them to her ‎ C. She caught them in the wild D. Her mother gave them to her 23. From Paragraph 3, we can learn that ____‎ A. different plants can attract different butterflies. B. oranges are butterflies’ favorite food ‎ C. the garden is the best place to raise butterflies D. butterflies should be fed frequently 24. Cameron was chosen as the Butterfly Caretaker because ____‎ A. she is good at raising butterflies B. she loves and often close to nature ‎ C. she taught kids how to build growing kids D. she grew butterflies and sent them to others C ‎ Alton Towers is the most famous theme park in the UK which has been successfully running since 1980. The park is set high in the hills of Alton in Staffordshire and it is hidden among the trees.‎ ‎ The buying up of the theme park has caused more and more money to be put into the park which is only good for thrill(惊险刺激) seekers! The amount of rides is increasing but at the expense of the admission fees. The higher fees by no means stops people from visiting though with still around 2.5 million visitors each year.‎ ‎ The theme park is open this year from the 17th March through until 11th November. This gives riders the nice hot British summer time to enjoy the rides with preferably less rainfall. The gates to the park open at 9:30 am and the rides and other attractions open at 10:00 am. To make the most of your money and your day I would suggest getting there on time or it will seem wasted. When I went, we got there at around 1:00 pm and because of that we didn’t get around everything we wanted to.‎ ‎ The cost of getting into the park these days is very expensive so trips there I think for most ‎ families would be few. There are many different prices as the cost changes depending upon how you pay and when you want to go. There are three sets of prices, normal day ticket, event day ticket and buying online. The prices are as follows:‎ Adult ‎ Child Under 12‎ Disabled ‎ Normal Day Pass:£32‎ Normal Day Pass:£22‎ Normal Day Pass:£16‎ Event Day Pass:£34‎ Event Day Pass:£23‎ Event Day Pass:£17‎ Buying Online:£24‎ Buying Online:£16‎ Buying Online:£12‎ 21. Which of the following is TRUE of Alton Towers?‎ A. It lies at the foot of the hills of Alton. B. It has a history of more than thirty years ‎ C. It is covered with the trees and grasses D. It is the best national park in the UK 22. We can learn from Paragraph 2 that ____.‎ A. There are fewer visitors to the park B. there is a lot of money hidden in the park ‎ C. visitors are satisfied with the admission fees D. many visitors pay visit to the park every year 23. The author is regrettable probably because he/she ____.‎ A. Wasted some money and time B. arrived at the park ahead of time ‎ C. didn’t get the ticket on time D. had to leave the park too early 24. If you are at the age of 10 and visit Alton Towers on St David’s Day with your parents, how much has to be paid online?‎ A. ‎£90 B. £87 C. £64 D. £40‎ 第二节 (共3小题,每小题2分,满分6分)‎ 下面文章中有3处(第33~35题)需要添加小标题。请从以下选项(A、B、C和D)中选出符合各段意思的小标题。选项中有一项是多余选项。‎ How to keep more food on the table ‎ It’s said that in some parts of the world, people are facing the problem of hunger. So what can we do to help them? Here are some tips:‎ ‎33 ‎ Start with the fresh food. If you have some in the fridge, use them first. Make a meal with what you have got instead of running out to the supermarket for something else. You’ll probably save more time using what’s on hand.‎ ‎“Bestbefore” and “useby” dates are more important. Learn to know the different periods of food and know what foods are good for. For example, black bananas are proper for baking, fresh vegetables are good in soups, bread that is not fresh can be turned into small pieces.‎ ‎34 ‎ The freezer can keep food fresh until you are ready to cook them, then store the cooked food until you’re ready to eat it. It’s also the best place for the remaining food. Mark the date of the food nearby, so it’s easy to find the food you need to eat first and will never leave them there for too long.‎ ‎35 ‎ Plan meals ahead of time so that you know exactly what to buy. Doing this helps reduce food waste because it’s possible to buy too much of a certain food and then forget to eat or cook it later.‎ A. Use the freezer A. Buy enough food at a time B. Shop with a list C. Cook from the fridge 21. ‎____________ 34.____________ 35.____________‎ 第三部分 英语知识运用 (共三节,满分25分)‎ 第一节 完形填空 (共10小题,每小题1分,满分10分)‎ 阅读下面短文,掌握其大意,然后就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答案。‎ ‎ Everyone in our school loves sports. Every morning 36 we get up, we do morning exercises. After the second class we do 37 again. We only have 38 classes twice a week, but we do physical training at five every afternoon.

No school in 47 I have ever taught has ever ignored spelling or considered it 48 (important) as a basic skill. There are, however, different ideas about how to teach it, or how much priority(优先)it must be given over general language development and writing ability. The 49 (general) acknowledged problem is how to encourage children to express 50 freely and confidently in writing without holding them back.‎ Once I was alarmed to read on the bottom of a sensitive piece of writing about a personal experience “This work is horrible! There are far too many spelling 51 (error) and your writing is terrible.” It may have been a sharp criticism of the pupil’s technical abilities in writing, but it was also 52 sad reflection on the teacher who had omitted(忽视) to read the essay, where there ‎ might be some beautiful expressions of the child’s deep feelings. The teacher was not wrong to draw attention 53 the errors, but if his priorities 54 (centre) on the child’s ideas, an expression of his disappointment with the presentation would have given the pupil more motivation 55 (seek) improvement.‎ 36. ‎__________47. __________ 48. __________ 49. __________ 50. __________‎ 51. ‎__________ 52. __________ 53. __________ 54. __________ 55. __________‎ 第三节 改错 (共5小题,每小题1分,满分5分)‎ 下列句子中各有一处语言错误,请把错误改正,其他部分不得改动。每处错误仅涉及一个单词的增加、删减或修改。‎ 增加:在缺词处加一个漏字符号(^), 并在右边横线上写出该加的词。‎ 删除:把多余的词用斜线(/)划掉,并在右边横线上写出该词,也用斜线划掉。‎ 修改:在错误的词下划一横线,并在右边横线上写出改正后的词。‎ 56.

Scientists observe that 61. making the most of our senses when we are young can keep us healthy later on in life.‎ ‎62.我们为什么感到焦虑或者疲倦?One reason is that we misuse our senses in our daily life. One study shows 63. about 90% of our time is spent watching television or using computer. It is added that while our sense of sight is used too much, our sense of touch and smell are ignored.‎ ‎ People often ask whether or not we could develop all our senses. 64.答案是肯定的。Experts suggest that we do the following things more often.
