Jiuzhaigou Valley Scenic and Historic Interest Area Jiuzhaigou Valley, which lies in the northern part of Sichuan Province, China, reaches a height of more than 4,800m, with a series of different forest ecosystems (生态系统). It’s particularly famous for its narrow landforms and excellent waterfalls. Some 140 kinds of birds also live in the valley, as well as a number of endangered plants and animals, including the giant panda. Jiuzhaigou Valley was recognized as a World Heritage site by UNESCO in 1992. Khami Ruins National Monument The city of Khami, which developed after the capital of Great Zimbabwe had been given up in the mid-16th century, is of great archaeological (考古的) interest. The discovery of objects from Europe and China shows that Khami was a major centre for trade over a long period of time. It joined the World Heritage List in 1986. Henderson Island Henderson Island, which lies in the eastern South Pacific, is one of the few atolls (环礁) in the world whose ecology (生态) has been untouched by humans. It is particularly famous for the 10 plants and 4 birds that can only be seen on the island. It was recorded in the World Heritage List in 1988. Old City of Jerusalem As a holy (神圣的) city for three different religions in the Middle East, Jerusalem has always been of great religious importance. It was given a World Heritage Status in 1981 and placed on the “World Heritage in Danger List” the following year. 1.Which of the following is TRUE about Jiuzhaigou Valley?

A.Industry. B.Travel. C.Science. D.Business. B I was once invited to speak at a high school. Before the speech, I saw David. He sat in his wheelchair barely able to move. As soon as he saw me he started smiling. He could not talk but I pretended the sharks were eating his cereal and his laugh melted the hearts of everyone walking by. One of the teachers told me that he was actually very smart, and that he just could not control his muscles due to a childhood disease. He was happy and very popular at his school—his parents' love and encouragement made all the difference. On the contrary—at a book signing session, I met a girl by the name of Anne. She walked up with her mum with a bright smile. Anne asked about my book with a slur(含糊地说) in her speech indicating a slight head injury. I told her about it and she smiled the whole time and asked me to sign one for her. I did. Five minutes later, I heard a voice from Anne’s father, “You know you will not understand the book. You can’t read well enough.” You aren’t smart enough." He said it so loudly that people were staring in their direction. She was absolutely crushed and her bright smile was now replaced with a look of total despair. He took the book from her and brought it back to me and asked me to take it back. I asked him if he would allow me to purchase the book for Anne. He said no with a heartless response. I thought back to David. He could not speak, walk, run or play but was actually very happy and even doing well in school because of the love and encouragement of his parents. Anne on the other hand had a slight learning problem and may never know the happiness of success because of a stern(苛刻的) father. What kind of parent are you? The truth is that what you are telling your kids makes the difference between their success and failure in life. 5.What is David’s problem? A.He has a mental block. B.He suffers a muscles' disease. C.He can’t speak or read. D.He isn’t smart enough. 6.What’s Anne’s feeling when hearing her father’s words? A.Light-hearted. B.Heart-broken. C.Cautious. D.Doubtful. 7.The author is probably ___________. A.a writer B.a doctor C.a teacher D.a lawyer C Smartphones, tablets and smart watches are banned at school for all children under 15 in France. Under the ban students are not able to use their phones at all during school hours, including meal breaks. “I think it’s a good thing. School is not about being on your phone,” Paris mum Marie-Caroline Madeleine told AFP. “It's hard with kids. You can't control what they see and that’s one of the things that worries me as a parent.” There is no law like this in Australia, but some Australian schools have banned phones. McKinnon Secondary School in Victoria introduced a total ban in February and Principal Pitsa Binnion said this has been a success. McKinnon students still have a Chromebook to use in every class for day-to-day learning but they're not allowed to use social media. Ms Binnion said at first “teachers cheered and students moaned (抱怨),” but now they’re seeing the positives (优势). “They come to school and they're not allowed to use phones at all during the school day, including lunch breaks,” she said. “It’s been wonderful as for students communicating with each other at lunchtime and not looking at their screen,” Ms Binnion said. She also leads by example and doesn't use her mobile phone in school. “I think anyone can do it if we’ve done it.” Not everyone agrees with the bans. Western Sydney University technology researcher Dr Joanne Orlando wrote in online magazine The Conversation earlier this year that Australia should not ban phones in schools because it’s important to educate kids to live in the age they are raised in. “A good education for students today is knowing how to use technology to learn, communicate and work with ideas,” she wrote. “Banning students from using smartphones is a 1950s response to a 2020 state-of-play.” 8.Why did Madeleine welcome the ban? A.Teachers find it hard to control kids. B.Kids behave badly nowadays. C.Her kids depend too much on phones. D.School is for studying. 9.What can we learn about the ban in McKinnon Secondary School? A.Teachers have stopped using phones at school as well. B.Some teachers were against it at first. C.Students can use their phones at lunch breaks. D.Students can now see the good of the ban. 10.What does Dr Joanne Orlando think of banning phones in schools? A.It will disconnect parents and kids. B.It will cause kids to communicate less. C.It will make education go back 60 years. D.It will prevent kids being tech-minded. 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。 How to Enjoy Life As a Teen Maybe teens are not the best years of your life, but you should still learn to make the most of your high school days.___11____. 1.

As they had not paid the rent for several months, the landlord was breathing down their necks(盯着他们). One day, Ali took Zahra's shoes to a shoe repairman to be fixed, but he lost them on the way home. It wasn't until he got home that he realized he had lost the shoes. He was afraid that his parents would be angry and disappointed, so he begged his sister to keep it secret. Zahra agreed and the two decided to share Ali's running shoes. Zahra's school hours were in the morning, so she would wear them first. After school, she would rush back and give them to Ali. He could then run to his school, which began in the afternoon. Although he ran as fast as he could, Ali often arrived late and was warned by the school. Ali heard about a long distance race that was held for the boys in the city. When he learned that the third prize was a new pair of shoes, he decided to take part. He ran home excitedly and promised his sister that he would win her the new shoes. The day of race arrived. Ali had a strong start, but halfway through the race he began to get tired and his legs began to ache. Getting more and more exhausted he thought only of Zahra and his promise to her. Dreaming of the new shoes he would win for his sister gave him strength, and he stayed right behind the two fastest runners, determined to finish third. Suddenly, as the finish line drew near, another runner collided(碰撞) with Ali from behind and he crashed to the ground. 注意: 1.所续写短文的词数应为 150 左右; 2.应使用 5 个以上短文中标有下划线的关键词语; 3.续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好; 4.续写完成后,请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。 Paragraph 1: Ali looked up and saw the other boys rushing ahead.___________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________ Paragraph 2: Filled with pleasure, Ali walked home quickly.__________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________ 参考答案 阅读 A 答案：A C A B 阅读 B 答案：B B A 阅读 C 答案：D D D 七选五答案： C B G F D 完型答案： C C A B A C C A B C D B A B B D A B A D 语法填空答案： 36. argument 37. in 38. felt 39. walking 40. carefully 41.

He dashed across the finishing line and won the fourth prize. Thinking he would let her sister down, Ali couldn't help sobbing. Just then he suddenly heard the announcement from the broadcast that he won the third prize as the runner who collided with Ali was disqualified for breaking the rule. Holding the shoes close to his chest during the award ceremony, Ali felt overjoyed and relieved as he eventually won the shoes for his sister. Paragraph 2: Filled with pleasure, Ali walked home quickly. He could not wait to see his sister and share the good news. On his arrival, Ali found Zahra was waiting outside. Nervous and anxious, Zahra wondered whether her brother had brought her what she was expecting. "Zahra, see what I have got for you." Ali said excitedly, taking the prize out of his bag with his trembling hands. The instant Zahra saw the shoes, her face lit up. So thrilled was she that she threw herself at Ali. "Thank you! Ali." Tears of joy welled up in their eyes as the brother and the sister hugged tightly together.
