Well, I suggest you try the beautiful and green Isle of Wight (IOW). The Isle of Wight is one of the main tourist attractions. Here is some information on a few of the attractions on the IOW.‎ Dinosaur Isle It is located in Sandown, a seaside town on the southeast coast. It's a large, lovely museum, both fun and educational. Here you can see a large fossil collection of all kinds of dinosaurs, as well as a gift shop. You can walk into the past and then the future, learning about the history and the development of the civilization of dinosaurs that lived 120 million years ago.‎ Robin Hill Country Park The park is in the beautiful countryside, and is suitable for children's parties and games. It has five new gardens, and offers great opportunities to see and take pictures of the rare red squirrels.‎ The West of the Wight Here we have the Marine Aquarium, the Archaeology Exhibition and the Model Railway. They offer another opportunity to combine fun with learning. This is a great place to see ancient boats crossing the narrow strait between the island and the mainland.‎ The Wight Bus Museum This museum is run completely by unpaid volunteers. It has a bus collection stored in what was once a warehouse(仓库). Most of the buses in the museum date back to around the 1910's.‎ With all of these choices, what are you waiting for? IOW Tourism welcomes you!‎ ‎21. In Robin Hill Country Park, children can NOT___________.‎ A. have parties B. buy gifts C. play games D. take pictures ‎22. It can be learned from the passage that___________.‎ A. there are five new gardens on Dinosaur Isle B. visitors can drive buses in the Wight Bus Museum C. those running the Wight Bus Museum work for free D. on Dinosaur Isle we can learn about all kinds of animals ‎23. The purpose of this passage is to___________.‎ A. show the development of tourism on the IOW B. advise readers how to relax on holidays C. attract readers to come to the IOW D. tell readers what is worth visiting ‎24. You can read this article in a___________.‎ A. travel magazine B. science journal C. book review D. film advertisement B Summer is slipping away from me. Some days, it makes me want to cry. Other days, I feel a sense of expectation within me just thinking about fall that makes me want to burst. Tonight, all five of us were in the family room doing our own things.‎ At this moment, my littlest kid is my number one trouble and my number one joy. He has a tooth on the way and although it's such a tiny thing, it's causing so much grief. I'm holding him a lot and I'm not going to lie. I live for his afternoon nap so I'm able to actually get dressed and use the restroom.‎ The big E is starting school soon. The other day, I found myself a bit depressed about the end of summer and the beginning of another school year. I looked out of our front window with eyes that were heavy and a bit teary. Then, I suddenly realized just how silly this end of summer depression of mine is. I can't change time. But, I can change my emotions and my thoughts. I decided not to spend my final days of summer vacation walking around with a sad face. I decided to hug the last few days of summer and remind myself that before I know it, we will be back in our school routine and all will go well.‎ This week we plan on meeting teachers. I'm taking my girl to have her nails done before her first day of kindergarten. We want to bake a few dozen cookies. We'll take our evening walks as usual and stay up late. And last but not least, I'll get school clothes ready, I'll pack lunches and write lunch notes, we'll read "The Kissing Hand"like we normally do, and I'll tuck my third grader and kindergartener in their little beds before the big first day.‎ Thank you summer, you've been warm and wonderful, you've been sweet and sticky, you've been refreshing and exactly what we need. And your sunsets have been amazing, so thank you.‎ ‎25. According to Paragraph 1, the author ___________.‎ A. feels excited B. has bad feelings C. feels worried D. has mixed feelings ‎26. How will the author spend the final days of the summer vacation?‎ A. Live a simple life. B. Stay at home and relax herself.‎ C. Treasure the vacation. D. Walk around with a depressed face.‎ ‎27. From the passage, we can learn that the author ___________.‎ A. is fond of reading novels. B. often takes evening walks.‎ C. has two annoying children. D. has no time to get dressed.‎ C If blood is red, why are veins (静脉) blue?‎ Actually, veins are not blue at all. They are more of a clear, yellowish colour. Although blood looks red when it's outside the body, when it's sitting in a vein near the surface of the skin, it's more of a dark reddish purple colour. At the right depth, these blood-filled veins reflect less red light than the surrounding skin, making them look blue by comparison.‎ Which works harder, your heart or your brain?‎ That kind of question depends on whether you are busy thinking or busy exercising. Your heart works up to three times harder during exercise, and shifts enough blood over a lifetime to fill a supertanker. But, in the long run, your brain probably tips it, because even when you're sitting still your brain is using twice as much energy as your heart, and it takes four to five tunes as much blood to feed it.‎ Why do teeth fall out, and why don't they grow back in grown-ups?‎ Baby (or "milk") teeth do not last long; they fall out to make room for bigger, stronger adult teeth later on. Adult teeth fall out when they become damaged, decayed and infected by bacteria. Once this second set of teeth has grown in, you're done. When they're gone, they're gone. This is because nature figures you're set for life, and what controls regrowth of your teeth switches off. ‎ Do old people shrink as they age?‎ Yes and do. Many people do get shorter as they age. But, when they do, it isn't because they're shrinking all over. They simply lose height as their spine becomes shorter and more curved due to disuse and the effects, of gravity. Many (but not all) men and women do lose height as they get older. Men lose an average of 3-4 cm in height as they age, while women may lose 5 cm or more. If you live to be 200 years old, would you keep shrinking till you were, like 60 cm tall, like a little boy again? No, because old people don't really shrink! It is not that they are growing backwards—their legs, arms and backbones getting shorter. When they do get shorter, it's because the spine has shortened a little. Or, more often, become more bait and curved. ‎ Why does spinning make you dizzy (眩晕的)?‎ Because your brain gets confused between what you're seeing and what you're feeling. The brain senses that you're spinning using special gravity-and-motion-sensing organs in your inner ear, which work together with your eyes to keep your vision and balance stable. But when you suddenly stop spinning the system goes out of control, and your brain thinks you're moving while you're Dot!‎ Where do feelings and emotions come from?‎ Mostly from an ancient part of the brain called the limbic system. All mammals have this brain area—from mice to dogs, cats, and humans. So all mammals feel basic emotions like fear, pain and pleasure. But since human feelings also involve other, newer bits of the brain, we feel more complex emotions than any other animal on the planet.‎ If exercise wears you out, how can it be good for you?‎ Because our bodies adapt to everything we do to them. And as far as your body is concerned, it's "use it, or lost it"! It's not that exercise makes you healthy; it's more that a lack of exercise leaves your body weak and easily affected by disease.‎ ‎28. What is the colour of blood in a vein near the surface of the skin?‎ A. Blue. B. Dark reddish purple.‎ C. Red. D. Light yellow.‎ ‎29. Why do some old people look a little shrunken as they age?‎ A. Because they are more easily affected by gravity.‎ B. Because their spine is in active use.‎ C. Because their spine becomes more bent.‎ D. Because they keep growing backwards.‎ ‎30. Which of the following statements about our brain is true?‎ A. In the long run, our brain probably works harder than our heart.‎ B. When our brain senses the spinning, we will fell dizzy.‎ C. The brains of the other mammals are as complex as those of humans.‎ D. Our feelings and emotions come from the most developed area in our brain.‎ ‎31. What is the main purpose of the selection?‎ A. To give advice on how to stay healthy.‎ B. To challenge new findings in medical research.‎ C. To report the latest discoveries in medical science.‎ D. To provide information about our body.‎ D ‎"Never talk to strangers." Many children are taught this simple rule as a precaution against abduction (诱拐). In June, 2005, an 11-year-old boy was lost in the Utah wilderness for four days. During that time, he stayed on the path. He saw people searching for him but deliberately hid from them, afraid someone might "steal" him. Eventually, the unfortunate game of hide-and-seek ended and he was found. According to the Canada Safety Council, this alarming incident shows how ‎ unwise it is to instill (灌输) a fear of strangers in children. The "stranger danger" message can prevent children from developing the social skills and judgment needed to deal effectively with real-life situations. In a difficult situation, a stranger could be their lifeline to safety.‎ To have a child go missing is a parent's worst nightmare. The threat of abduction by a stranger is minimal when compared with other possible reasons for a disappearance. In 2004, there were 67,266 missing-children cases in Canada. Only 31 involved abduction; in most of those cases the abductor was a relative, friend, or person known to the family. There were 671 cases of children wandering off, and 332 cases of abductions by a parent. Almost 80 percent of all cases were runaways. These statistics cast doubt on the idea that children should never talk to strangers. Wandering off is more common—but a lost child may have to call upon a stranger for help, and must develop the ability to judge what kind of people to approach. The "never talk to strangers" rule does not protect children in the situations they are most likely to face. On top of this, it can be confusing. Adults do not model the behavior; they often talk to strangers. A child may not know how to tell who is a stranger, and who is not.‎ For young children, nothing replaces close supervision. Pre-schoolers do not understand risk and tend to act without thinking. Children need to develop habits and attitudes that will protect them from the real threats and dangers they may face. The Canada Safety Council encourages parents to give their children age-appropriate positive messages about safety, bearing in mind how youngsters may understand their world.‎ ‎32. Which of the following statements is NOT true about the 11-year-old boy?‎ A. He practiced the "never talk to strangers" rule.‎ B. He hid from the rescuers to avoid possible abduction.‎ C. He eventually showed up when his hide-and-seek game ended.‎ D. He stayed where he was, expecting the coming of familiar people.‎ ‎33. Among the possible reasons for the missing-children cases in Canada, which one is the most frequent?‎ A. Being abducted by a parent. B. Running away.‎ C. Being abducted by strangers. D. Wandering off.‎ ‎34. The "never talk to strangers" rule is confusing to children because ___________.‎ A. a friendly and attractive person may be dangerous B. adults do not act upon the rule and strangers are hard to tell C. the rule does not protect children in the situation of abducting D. a lost child may have difficulty in communicating with a stranger ‎35. Which would the author agree with about the "never talk to strangers" rule?‎ A. It is not well recognized by parents.‎ B. It is practical as a safety tip in daily life.‎ C. It is easy enough for children to follow.‎ D. It is not effective in keeping kids safe.‎ 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。‎ Want to volunteer?‎ How do you pick the right volunteer experience for you? Ask yourself the following questions to determine which experience best fits your goals.‎ What cause is important to you?‎ Identify your greatest passions.What is a problem you want to solve? Who are people you want to connect with? 36 If you don't have answers to those questions, don't worry. That's where you just have to try and learn more about the cause, and see if it attracts you.‎ ‎ 37 ‎ The nonprofit sector grows quickly. Understanding the organizational structure is important for a positive volunteer experience. Would you like to work in a larger organization that might have more resources but is more rigid? Or a smaller organization that has less financial support but many opportunities to serve?‎ You also need to consider the leadership structure. Are they friendly, open, willing to give you opportunities? Do you see yourself enjoying your day working with them? If you answer yes, then most likely you will have a positive relationship. They will want to see you grow and develop, and you will want to help them. 38 ‎ How much time can you put?‎ ‎ 39 Often, volunteers comment that they benefit from giving a lot of their time and becoming a part of the "nonprofit family." However, you may only have time to help on weekends every now and then. That's great, too. 40 ‎ You've got a heart to give. Now, take the time to volunteer. By being our time well and get the most out of your experience.‎ A. What is the organization like?‎ B. It's a "win-win" for everyone.‎ C. It's just a different kind of experience.‎ D. Sometimes you know, and sometimes you don't.‎ E. What companies are there in your neighborhood?‎ F. Try to meet with the leader to make sure it's a good fit.‎ G. Be realistic about the amount of time you can spend volunteering.‎ 第三部分 英语知识运用 （共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节 完型填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。‎ I always preferred to take on more than I should when I was a young man.
