If you are looking for some peace on your vacation, we have some recommendations for you in the Caucasus(高加索). ‎ Lake Paravani Lake Paravani, located at 6,801ft above sea level, is in the south of Georgia, near the ‎ Javakheti plateau. At this level, altitude sickness can occur and it is a good idea to be prepared to adapt to it properly, or bring medication for altitude sickness. Being a volcanic lake makes for a more interesting experience. The lake is best known for fishing. Do not come home during the winter months when the lake freezes. ‎ Lake Cildir Lake Cildir is located in the Ardahan province, East Turkey, near the borders of Georgia and Armenia. It is the second largest freshwater lake of Eastern Turkey, and many tourists are not aware of this beautiful attraction. Lake Cildir is surrounded by mountains of the Caucasus. The lake freezes during late November. If the winter is not extremely cold, you can try some lake activities like ice skating and ice fishing. ‎ Lake Van Lake Van is the must visit of all lakes in this list. The largest lake in Turkey, Lake Van is located on the eastern shore of Turkey and is also the most accessible lake here. It’s situated at 5, 380ft above sea level, and unique to lakes around the world, the water is high in salt content. ‎ ‎21．What is special about Lake Van?‎ A. Its water is high in salt. B. It is a volcanic lake. ‎ C. It is globally the largest lake. D. It is surrounded by mountains. ‎ ‎22．What challenge are travelers most likely to face while visiting Lake Paravani?‎ A. Lack of medicine. B. Volcano eruptions. ‎ C. Altitude sickness. D. Low temperature all the year. ‎ ‎23．Which destinations would be attractive to a fishing lover?‎ A. Lake Van and Lake Paravani. B. Lake Pravani and Lake Cildir. ‎ C. Lake Cildir and Lake Van. D. Lake Van.‎ B Some places in the world have strange laws. It’s important for you to know about them before going there.‎ Whoever likes to chew gum(口香糖) may have to leave Singapore. The government really wants to keep the city clean and will fine you for chewing gum. ‎ Before you leave for the United Arab Emirates you’d better make sure you aren’t visiting during Ramadan(斋月). During that time you aren’t allowed to eat or drink in public. Tourists have been fined up to $275 for drinking in public.‎ Lovers spend so much time kissing each other goodbye at train stations that trains often start late. This law--no kissing your lover goodbye at train stations-- is rather old, and isn’t in use today in France.‎ In Thailand it’s against the law to drive a car or motorcycle without a shirt on, no matter how hot it is. Punishments are different in different areas and can include warnings and tickets costing about $10. No joke ---the local police will stop you.‎ Studies in Denmark have shown that cars with their headlights on are more noticeable by other drivers than those with their headlights off. Drivers there are required to leave their headlights on even during the day, or they may face a fine up to $100.‎ Do you often buy things using coins? Don’t do it in Canada. The Currency Law of 1985 doesn’t allow using only coins to buy things. Even the use of the dollar-coin is limited (受限制的). The shop owner has the right to choose whether to take your coins or not.‎ Make sure you know about these laws before your next trip. Better safe than sorry.‎ ‎24. What is mainly talked about in the text?‎ ‎ A. How to make your trip around the world safe. ‎ ‎ B. Why there are strange laws in the world.‎ ‎ C. Interesting places you can go to around the world.‎ ‎ D. Some strange laws you should know about for your trip.‎ ‎25. If you are driving a car in Thailand, __________.‎ ‎ A. the police will play a joke on you ‎ ‎ B. you should wear your shirt even though it’s hot ‎ C. the police will give you tickets costing about $10‎ ‎ D. you should always keep your headlights on ‎26. What can we learn from the text?‎ ‎ A. The Singaporean government cares a lot about its environment.‎ ‎ B. Kissing goodbye at train stations isn’t allowed in France today.‎ ‎ C. Tourists in the United Arab Emirates shouldn’t eat in public.‎ ‎ D. You can turn your headlights off in daytime in Denmark.‎ C If you want to become a fluent English speaker, you should take some advice: there are four skills in learning English. They are listening, speaking, reading and writing. The most important thing you must remember is that if you want to improve your speaking and writing skills you should first master the skills of reading and listening. ‎ Read as much as you can. But your reading must be active. It means that you must think about the meaning of the sentences, the meaning of the unfamiliar words, etc.‎ There is no need for you to pay much attention to grammar---or try to understand all the unfamiliar words you come across, but the fact you see them for the first time and recognize them whenever you see them, for example in other passages or books, is enough. It would be better to prepare yourself a notebook so you can write down the important words or sentences in it.‎ As for listening, there are two choices: besides reading, you can listen every day for about 30 minutes. You can only pay attention to your reading and become skillful at your reading, then you can catch up on your listening. Since you have lots of inputs in your mind, you can easily guess what the speaker is going to say. This never means that you should not practice listening. ‎ For listening you can listen to cartoons or some movies that are specially made for children. Their languages are easy. Or if you are good at listening, you can listen to VOA or BBC programs every day. Again the thing to remember is being active in listening and preferably taking some notes.‎ If you follow these pieces of advice, your speaking and writing will improve automatically, and you can be sure that with a little effort they will become perfect.‎ ‎27. According to the author, which should you improve first among the four skills? _______‎ A. Reading and listening B. Reading and writing C. Writing and speaking D. Speaking and listening ‎ ‎28. To improve your reading, when you read you should ____.‎ A. look up all the new words in the dictionary.‎ B. think about what you are reading actively C. spend more time studying grammar D. copy as many words and sentences as possible ‎29. The underlined words “come across” in paragraph3 probably be replaced by_____.‎ A. meet by accident B. discover C. find on purpose D. look for ‎30. The author seems to agree with the view that _____.‎ A. everyone should listen to VOA or BBC programs every day B. you needn’t practice listening if you keep reading every day C. being good at reading is helpful in improving your listening ‎ D. you should take notes of whatever you are hearing D Think of life as a game in which you are playing with five balls in the air. You name them work, family, health, friends and spirit (精神) and you keep all of them in the air. You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce (弹跳) back.‎ But the other four balls, family, health, friends and spirit, are made of glass. If you drop one of these, they will be broken. They will never be the same. You must understand that and try to have balance in your life. How?‎ Don’t look down on your worth by comparing yourself with others. It is because we are different and each of us is special.‎ Don’t let other people set goals(目标）for you. Only you know what is best for yourself.‎ Don’t give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.‎ Don’t be afraid of difficulties. It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.‎ Don’t shut love out of your life by saying it’s impossible. The quickest way to receive love is to give it; the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly (紧紧地); the best way to keep love is to give it wings（翅膀).‎ Don’t run through life so fast that you forget not only where you’ve been, but also where you are going.‎ Don’t be afraid to learn. Knowledge is a treasure (珍宝) you can always carry easily.‎ Don’t use time or words carelessly. You can’t get them back. Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery (秘密), and today is a gift; that’s why we call it “the present”. Life is not a competition, but a trip, step by step.‎ ‎31. The passage tells us not to _________ because everyone is special.‎ ‎ A. be afraid of difficulties B. be afraid to learn ‎ C. run through life so fast D. compare yourself with others to look down on your worth ‎32. The sentence “Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.” means that _______. ‎ A. Nothing is possible ‎ B. If we don’t give up, there is always hope C. You should learn to give up ‎ D. Although you try, nothing will change.‎ ‎33.Why can’t we use time carelessly? ___________‎ A. Because time is too expensive. ‎ B. Because time never returns.‎ C. Because we are too poor. ‎ D. Because time will get back.‎ ‎34. If you run through life so fast, you will ____________.‎ ‎ A. lose your own treasure that you can always carry easily ‎ B. lose love by holding it too tightly ‎ C. forget not only where you’ve been, but also where you are going.‎ ‎ D. not afraid of the difficulties ‎35. According to the passage, which is the best title? ___________‎ ‎ A. Nothing is impossible. B. Glass balls are easy to be broken.‎ ‎ C. Things you can’t do. D. Treat your life in a right way.‎ 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。‎ Not all people like to work but everyone likes to play. All over the world men and women and boys and girls enjoy sports.‎ ‎ 36 They help to keep people healthy and feeling good. When they are playing games, people move a lot. This is good for their health. Having fun with their friends makes them happy.‎ ‎ 37 In small towns, crowds meet to watch the bicycle races or the soccer games. In the big cities, thousands of people buy tickets to see an ice-skating show or a baseball game.‎ ‎ 38 What are your favorite sports now? You probably play the games that people in your town or city play. 39 Then swimming is probably one of your sports. Boys and girls in Australia love to swim. There are wonderful beaches there and the weather is good for swimming. ‎ ‎40 Then you would like to ski. There are many skiers in Austria where there are big mountains and cold winters. Does it rain often where you live? Then kite flying would not be one of your sports. It is one of the favorite sports of Thailand.‎ A．How many sports do you like?‎ B．What's the weather like?‎ C．Is the climate hot where you live?‎ D．Or do you live in a cold climate?‎ E．Many people enjoy sports by watching others play.‎ F．What games have you played?‎ G．Sports help people to live happily.‎ 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，从短文后所给各题的四个选项（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 There once was a king in a faraway country.

No answer. He moved 5 feet closer. Still no answer.
