Welcome to AustraliaThe Great OutdoorsAustralia is the world's oldest continent and indigenous（本土的） Australians have oneof the world's oldest culture．In Australia you will see unique plants and animals and some of the most beautiful scenery in the world． Many parks have information centres offering advice on where to go, what to see and how to see it﹣﹣for both your personal safety and to protect our sensitive, natural environment．Banks and Money MattersBanks are generally open between 9: 30am and 4pm on Monday to Thursday and 9: 30am and 5pm on Friday．Foreign currency or traveller's cheques can be changed at all banks and some of the larger hotels． There are currency exchange facilities at all international airports．Take care! Our sunlight is very strong and you can get sunburnt． For best sun protection, it is advisable to wear:□*A broad﹣brimmed hat*A shirt with a collar and sleeves*Sunscreen with high protection factor．SwimmingWe have so many beautiful places to swim﹣﹣beaches, lakes, rivers and creeks．□*Many of our waters are safe for swimming, but if you have any doubts, ask before entering the water．□*Most of our popular ocean beaches have patrols with life﹣saving service． Red and yellow flags mark the area that you are advised to swim within．□*If there are no flags and no life guards on the beach, talk to local people about the best areas to swim．Staying Safe on the Roads□*Australians drive on the left﹣hand side of the road．□*For safety, everyone in the car, including children, must wear a seat belt．□*Motor cyclists and bicyclists are required to wear a helmet．□*Watch out for native animals crossing the roads, especially at night． Road signs are________ in places where animals are commonly seen．（1）What is the best title of the third part of the passage？________A The SunB Enjoy the SunC WarningD Outdoor Activities．（2）If you arrive in Sydney at 5：10pm on Friday， where can you probably get your money changed on that day？________A At a bank．B At any hotel．C At a storeD At the airport．（3）How can you ensure your safety when swimming？________A You can swim in whichever lake you likeB You should swim with the lifeguard． C You can swim where there are red flags． D Always find a local person to ask about how to swim．．（4）Which of the following word might be the closest in meaning with the underlined word "erected"？________A set upB protectedC stoodD Noticed．2. For centuries, medical pioneers have refined a variety of methods and medicines to treat sickness, injury, and disability, enabling people to live longer and healthier lives．"A salamander （a small lizard﹣like animal） can grow back its leg． Why can't a human do the same? " asked Peruvian﹣born surgeon Dr． Anthony Atala in a recent interview． The question, a reference to work aiming to grow new limbs for wounded soldiers, captures the inventive spirit of regenerative medicine． This innovative field seeks to provide patients with replacement body parts．These parts are not made of steel; they are the real things ﹣﹣﹣ living cells, tissue, and even organs．Regenerative medicine is still mostly experimental, with clinical applications limited to procedures such as growing sheets of skin on burns and wounds． One of its most significant advances took place in 1999, when a research group at North Carolina's Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine conducted a successful organ replacement with a laboratory﹣grown bladder． Since then, the team, led by Dr． Atala, has continued to generate a variety of other tissues and organs﹣from kidneys to ears．The field of regenerative medicine builds on work conducted in the early twentieth century with the first successful transplants of donated human soft tissue andbone． However, donor organs are not always the best option． First of all, they are in short supply, and many people die while waiting for an available organ; in the United States alone, more than 100, 000 people are waiting for organ transplants． Secondly, a patient's body may ultimately reject the transplanted donor organ． An advantage of regenerative medicine is that the tissues are grown from a patient's own cells and will not be rejected by the body's immune system．Today, several labs are working to create bio﹣artificial body parts． Scientists at Columbia and Yale Universities have grown a jawbone and a lung． At the University of Minnesota, Doris Taylor has created a beating bio﹣artificial rat heart． Dr． Atala's medical team has reported long﹣term success with bioengineered bladders implanted into young patients with spina bifida （脊柱裂）． And at the University of Michigan, H． David Humes has created an artificial kidney．So far, the kidney procedure has only been used successfully with sheep, but there is hope that one day similar kidney will be implantable in a human patient． The continuing research of scientists such as these may eventually make donor organs unnecessary and, as a result, significantly increase individuals' chances of survival．（1）What have scientists experimented successfully on for a bio﹣artificial kidney？________A PatientsB RatsC SheepD Soldiers．（2）Why is generative medicine considered innovative？________A It will provide patients with replacement soft tissues．B It will strengthen the human body's immune system．C It will shorten the time patients waiting for a donated organ．D It will make patients live longer with bio﹣artificial organs．．（3）What is the writer's attitude towards regenerative medicine？________A Positive．B Negative．C Doubtful．D Reserved．3. However wealthy we may be, we can never find enough hours in the day to do everything we want． Economics deals with this problem through the concept of opportunity cost, which simply refers to whether someone's time or money could be better spent on something else．Every hour of our time has a value． For every hour we work at one job we could quite easily be doing another, or be sleeping or watching a film． Each of these options has a different opportunity cost﹣namely（即）, what they cost us in missed opportunities．Say you intend to watch a football match but the tickets are expensive and it will take you a couple of hours to get to and from the stadium． Why not, you might reason, watch the game from home and use ________to have dinner with friends? This﹣the alternative（可供选择的） use of your cash and time﹣is the opportunity cost．For economists, every decision is made by knowledge of what one must forgo﹣in terms of money and enjoyment﹣in order to take it up． By knowing precisely what you are receiving and what you are missing out on, you ought to be able to make better﹣informed, more reasonable decisions． Consider that most famous economic rule of all: there's no such thing as a free lunch． Even if someone offers to take you out to lunch for free, the time you will spend in the restaurant still costs you something in terms of forgone opportunities．Some people find the idea of opportunity cost extremely discouraging: imagine spending your entire life calculating whether your time would be better spent elsewhere doing something more profitable or enjoyable． Yet, in a sense it's human nature to do precisely that﹣we assess the advantages and disadvantages of decisions all the time．In the business world, a popular phrase is "value for money．" People want their cash to go as far as possible． However, another is fast obtaining an advantage: "value for time．" The biggest restriction on our resources is the number of hours we can devote to something, so we look to maximize the return we get on our investment of time． By reading this passage you are giving over a bit of your time which could be spent doing other activities, such as sleeping and eating． In return, however, this passage will help you to think like an economist, closely considering the opportunity cost of each of your decisions．（1）According to the passage， the concept of "opportunity cost" is applied to________．A making more moneyB taking more opportunitiesC reducing missed opportunitiesD weighing the choice of opportunities．（2）"the leftover …time" in Paragraph 3 probably refers to the time________．A spared for watching the match at homeB taken to have dinner withfriends C spent on the way to and from the match D saved from not going to watch the match．（3）What are forgone opportunities？________A Opportunities you forget in decision﹣making．B Opportunities you give up for better ones．C Opportunities you miss accidentally．D Opportunities you makeup for．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．4. For parents the most stressful years in parenting are perhaps the time when their kidsturn into teenagers．Some parents have a strong belief that a strict approach to parentingthe kids is a must．Others believe that it is best to give teenagers a free hand．（1）_______The best way to parent teens is to use a mix of both．Read below for more tips on parenting teens．Encourage discussion．Make use of the problem areas in your teen's development as an opportunity to teach him or her tricks of good decision﹣making．（2）_______The only way in which you can do so is treat your kid as an adult．That is why it is very important to discuss the matter with your teen as you do with any other adult．Follow rules．If you have set rules for your teen to follow，then make sure you are strict in them．A teen who knows that there are certain rules that cannot be overlooked will make an effect to follow them．（3）_______Award your teenager when he or she follows the rules，but don't forget to punish him or her each time a rule is broken．Do not ignore your teenager's unfriendly attitude or regard it as normal teen behavior．If you ignore this at the start，then you win have to face all the more difficult situations later．Mind signs which can point towards such behavior as sleeping late，missing classes，etc．（4）_______ Be observant，but don't let it become obvious．Help set goals．Parents often make the mistake of setting unreasonable goals for their teens．The expectations you have should be dependent on the abilities of your kids．Never shout at them if they fall short of their goals．（5）_______ Only then they he able to reach their goals next lime．A．Parents should enjoy some sports with their kid．B．This will turn him or her into a responsible adult．C．Both these approaches are，however，right and wrong．D．If you see any such sign，talk to him or her without over reacting．E．Instead，encourage them and help them to find their faults and weaknesses．F．However，the teen will not act this way if you are not firm about the whole thing．G．Parents should recognize that teen years are the time when kids want more personal space．第三部分英语知识运用（共两节，满分30分）第一节完形填空（共1小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项．5.

The package delivery service can only beapplied in some cities in the US.The wheeled robots have a top speed of 4 mph and can detect barriers(检测路障) from as far as 30 feet away. “The robot can operate through just about anything,” says Nick Handrick, head of operations for Starship’s D.C. office, “If you have something in the way, it’s able to climb it.” By giving customers control of when deliveries occur, Starship Technologies is promoting its service as a way to combat package theft.To sign up for the service, which costs a little more than $10 per month, customers need to download the company’s app. Customers then create a “Starship Delivery Address,” a unique address inside a Starship facility, instead of a home address, where they can have packages sent from places such as .Once a package is delivered to the Starship address, customers receive a text notice that allows them to schedule a home delivery through robot. The robots are opened by customers with a mobile phone code(代码).28. What do we know about Starship Technologies company?A. Packages are delivered by its robots all round America.B.

The researchers expected that there are about 1.4 billon “climate change refugees(难民)” in the world by 2060 and by 2100 the number of the displaced people due to the rising sea level could reach up to two billion.“We’re going to have more people on less land and sooner than we think,” said lead author Charles Geisler, professor at Cornell. “The future rise in global average sea level probably won’t be gradual. Yet few policy makers are observing the significant barriers that coastal climate refugees, like other refugees, will run into when they move to higher ground.”For the study, the researchers reviewed potential problems that climate change refugees may face if they go deeper inland. The researchers identified these land difficulties with relocation using three organizing groups.Including depletion(损耗) zones, win-lose zones and no trespass(不得擅自进入) zones. By doing so, the researchers were able to provide primary estimates of their toll(损失) on inland resettlement space. The researchers found that some inland regions were unlikely to support new waves of climate change refugees due to the remains of war, road developments and rare natural resources.Apart from the rising sea level, increasing storm weather and the booming global population are also having a huge influence on the number of climate change refugees. Storm can push seawater further inland. The increasing global population requires more land even as the ocean swallows up rich costal zones and river deltas(三角洲). These force people to search for new places to move to higher ground.32. What would happen if the sea level were to rise?A. 2 billion people would be “refugees” by 2060.B. 50% of the population would lose their homes.C. Inland regions would become more crowded.D. Coastal regions would be polluted seriously.33. What can be inferred from Charles Geisler’s words?A. The sea level will go up in a little-by-little way.B. Moving to higher land isn’t the key solution.C. Land and population vary according to climate change.D. Policy makers should think more for climate change refugees.34. Why do climate change refugees fail to move to some inland regions?A. Because they can’t live a common life there.B. Because they can’t adapt to the clima te there.C. Because they may consume more than expected.D. Because they will destroy the natural resources.35. What does the author stress in the last paragraph?A. Global warming is a double-edged sword.B. In the future climate will become worse.C. The earth will see more climate change refugees.D. Sea will bring humans more disadvantages.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

To collect the ideas for tours.BHumans have found an easy way to tell if others are lying. Recent research shows that the best way so far is being clever at how you ask questions and listen to the answers.Much of this research is based on the idea that telling a lie is simply harder mental work than telling the truth. Making up a story takes more effort than simply recording something that happened. And like a writer, a liar has to keep all the unreal details in his memory and sound believable when he explains them.One method that seems to work is asking them to tell their story in reverse order. This is harder when the story isn't true and makes it easier for you to tell they are lying. An even more basic way that helps is to just ask more questions, especially unexpected ones. Truth-tellers can easily find more to say, but it's a challenge for a liar to come up with something that's not in his prepared story.Researchers suggest that you shouldn't lay all your cards on the table at the start, but only gradually present what proof you have. The liars' stories may not agree with that proof, making it clear that they're lying.So it looks like there are ways to increase the chances of catching a liar; we've just been basing our methods on the wrong stories. Low-tech ways of causing people to make mistakes in conversation seem to work better than any science about eye movement or machines used to recognize a liar. To find a liar, watch less and listen more.4. Why does the author mention the writer?A. To show it's hard to make up lies.B. To show it's hard to recognise a liar.C. To show writers know liars best.D. To show writers are very clever.5. What do we know about liars?A. They often have much to say.B. They often ask many questions.C. They usually prepare a made-up story.D. They usually feel good about themselves.6. What advice is given to help people catch liars?A. Asking them to set their stories down.B. Presenting your proof one by one.C. Telling different stories to them.D. Letting them ask questions.7. Which can be the best title for the text?A. Why People LieB. How to Stop People LyingC. Low-tech Ways to Find a LiarD. LiarsAre Smarter than ThoughtCIt’s easy to do easy things, but they don’t carry the challenges and rewards of doing something difficult. Scott Kelly said he tried to express that view everywhere he went. And he spoke from experience, having spent a career that included the time as a NASA astronaut, US Navy captain, fighter pilot, and engineer.Scott spoke at the University of North Alabama, sharing stories about his experience of spending a year on the International Space Station (ISS). He said the physical pressure of living in weightlessness for a year was hard to describe and that the fluids(积水) in his head sometimes made him feel like he was standing on his head. It also needed some time to recover when he returned home. “My legs were weak and it would be uncomfortable to sit for a while because my body hadn’t had that pressure so long,” Scott said.He discussed life aboard including spending time with Russian astronauts. They came from different cultures. He had managed to get along well with everyone aboard as they lived together, worked together, and had to rely on each other. He thought it was one of the most rewarding things in his life.Though life there was not easy, Scott never regretted being an astronaut and going to space. He also discussed experiences growing up, admitting that he wasn’t always the greatest student but was able to overcome that through hard work and determination.“Never give up or lower your dreams. If you work for it, all things are possible. There is a zero percent chance of succeeding if you don’t even try. And when you succeed after trying hard, you’ll find it really rewarding,” Scott said in the end.8. Scott mentioned his experience in the ISS mainly to show ________.A. he enjoyed making speechesB. he was a responsible astronautC. his life in space was challengingD. the daily life of an astronaut can be boring9. What may benefit Scott most when he lived with Russian astronauts?A. He won some awards through teamwork.B. He found the fun of living in the Space Station.C. He learned to develop close relationships with others.D. He picked up some knowledge of Russian culture.10. Which of the following can best describe Scott?A. Kind and thoughtful.B. Curious and humorous.C. Easygoing and sociable.D. Hardworking and determined.11. What does the author intend to tell us from Scott’s story?A. It’s importantto have a dreamB. Easy things are also worth doingC. A suitable career leads one to success.D. Difficult things are demanding but rewardingDAfter almost an entire year of not going shopping and vacationing, you find the numbers reflected by your bank account meet your heart's desire.Now the most important question comes, what to do with the earnings? Should you fulfill dreams of the present, invest in preserving the future or perhaps keep saving it for a rainy day?Our elders always try to teach us the value of money and its moral weakness. One may be on a winning streak（连续成功）now，but it will not always be so. One will have days when there will be no sunshine but only rain. and their luck will hide behind those thick grey clouds. Save for those rainy days,they say.Do not spend too much,live within a budget,refrain fromcredit no matter how small and save for the future.Since the very first time we earn our own money from a summer job or earning our first salary, the lessons start. In fact, the pocket money that we receive when we are children begins the process of learning how to best manage one's money.People often think like this-one day when I have enough money, I will travel the world. Then, once we do earn enough money, tomorrow's plans start shadowing our present ones. However, is it wise to keep living for that future? Will we still enjoy or even be able to backpack in -our 50s? How will we ever enjoy our present if we are constantly living for the future?Good questions, aren't they? 1 say travel but don' t let yourself run dry, treat yourself to some luxuries but also keep enough for your necessities, and enjoy your present but with a plan for the foreseeable future.Life is for the living. so live it sensibly.12. Why do elders teach us to save money?A. Because there are more rainy days in life.B. Because no one can win streak.C. Because good days may end.D. Because money can't buy everything.13. What does the underlined phrase "“refrain from" mean in Paragraph 3?A. select fromB. hold backC. rely onD. prefer to14. What can we infer from the passage?A. We should enjoy ourselves at the right time.B. We should wait to travel until we have enough money.C. We should live for the future no matter what.D. We should enjoy ourselves to the fullest when we have money.15. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Money is something but not everything.B. One should save for rainy days.C. Live in the moment before you live for the future.D. Live the present wisely for your life.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

ASunday, 31 AugustWe’ve been in China for a month now. Dad, Mom, Harry and I moved to Tianjin on 25 August. We’re not very far from Beijing. Two days ago, we celebrated my 16th birthday. It was great celebrating in China; the only thing that was strange was the cake—here they’re not as sweet as the ones in New York. On Monday school starts—I wonder what it will be like.Monday, 1 SeptemberOn my first day I was looking around for a locker to put my books in. However, here all the students keep all of their books at their desks. We stay in the same classroom because apparently we don’t have to go from class to class—teachers come to us!Today we selected teacher assistants for each subject. Their duties are to collect homework, make announcements, and do other things for the teachers and the students. It’s kind of a big deal here! Since I am from the US, I was asked to be the English assistant. I felt so proud but quite nervous at the same time because I wasn’t sure what I had to do, but I accepted the job anyway.Friday, 3 OctoberBoy, what a week! Now we have nine classes every day, including the morning class, a combination of our American schools “Homeroom” and “Study Hall”. I think Chinese students work too much! I have to do myhomework when I get back home. I don’t even have time to watch TV or surf the Internet like before. I sometimes miss New York and my school because we didn’t have to study so much. We had more time to hang out with our classmates and neighbors; here, besides their usual classes, students take part in weekend classes in subjects such as English, Chinese and math.I get a lot of attention, being from another country. Everyone wants to practice English with me! A really cute girl even asked me for my phone number on my second day and sent me a text message! I’m making a lot more friends now. I just need a lot of help to improve my Chinese. Some students want to do a language exchange program with me. Nice!21. The passage mentions all the following points EXCEPT _______ .A. physics studyB. food flavour (风味)C. weekend classesD. language exchange programs22. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT the teacher assistant’s duty?A. Collecting homework.B. Making announcements.C. Helping teachers with small errands (差事) .D. Teaching classmates. , 23. Where is this passage most probably from?A. A storybook.B. A guide book.C. A diary.D. A magazine.【答案】21. A 22. D 23. CBIf you enjoy reading don’t miss Shakespeare and Company when you visit the city of Paris. It is a famous English-language bookstore on the left bank of the river Seine. The first Shakespeare and Company in history was opened in 1919 by an American, Sylvia Beach. Ms. Beach did more than sell books. Her bookstore was also a library,and she even prepared beds for writers visiting there. Ms. Beach was not only kind to people but also good at choosing books, so her bookstore was often visited by writers like Ernest Hemingway and James Joyce. But in 1941, after the Germans took power in Paris, Ms. Beach was told to close her bookstore.In 1951, another American, George Whitman, opened in Paris another English-language bookstore, Librairie Mistral. Since then, just as Ms. Beach did, Mr Whitman has also made his bookstore a library for people to borrow books, and a free hotel for writers to stay in. To remember Ms. Beach, Mr Whitman changed the name of his bookstore to Shakespeare and Company in 1964, two years after Ms. Beach died.Next time when you are in Paris, don’t forget to visit this friendly bookstore, and see if you can spend a night there!24. When was Shakespeare and Company first opened?A. In 1919.B. In 1941.C. In 1951.D. In 1964.25. What does Shakespeare and Company do?a. It sells books.b. It lends books.c. It offers food to readers.d.

Ms. Beach closed her business because _______.A. she diedB. she was made to do itC. she left ParisD. she didn’t manage it well27. What do we know about Mr. Whitman?A. He was Ms. Beach’s neighbor.B. He used to work at Ms. Beach’s bookstore.C. He opened a bookstore to remember Ms. Beach.D. He has followed Ms. Beach’s ways of doing business.【答案】24. A 25. C 26. B 27. DCWhenever we see a button, we are eager to press it because we know something will happen. This is true in most cases, for example on a doorbell and on the “on/off” button on the TV. But some buttons are actually fake (假的), like the “close” button on a lift.Many people are in the habit of pressing the “close” button because they don’t have the patience to wait for the lift doors to shut. But lifts “close” buttons are a complete scam, at least in the US—the doors will not close any faster no matter how hard you press.It started in the 1990s when the Americans with Disabilities Act was passed in the US, making sure that all lifts stayed open long enough so that people with disabilities could enter. Only US firefighters and repairmen can use the buttons to speed up the door-closing process if they have a code or special keys.But to normal lift riders, the buttons aren’t completely useless. According to psychologists, fake buttons can actually make you feel better by offering you a sense of control. “Perceived (能够感知的) control is very important. It reduces stress and increases well-being,” Ellen J. Langer, a psychology professor, said, “Having a lack of control is connected with depression (抑郁).”Experts have expressed that a lot of buttons that don’t do anything exist in our lives for this same purpose. For example, many offices in the US have fake thermostats (温度调节器) because people tend to feel better when they think they can control the temperature in their workspace.But Psychologists found it interesting that even when people are aware of these little “white lies”, they still continue to push fake buttons because as long as the doors eventually close, it is considered to be worth the effort.“That habit is here to stay,” John Kounios, a psychology professor, said, “Even though I have real doubts (怀疑) about the traffic light buttons, I always press them. After all, I’ve got nothing else to do while waiting. So why not press the button in the hope that this one will work?”28. What was the author’s main purpose in writing the article?A. To describe some different kinds of fake buttons.B. To tell the uses of fake buttons.C. To explore people’s different habits when it comes to pushing buttons.D. To explain the advantages and disadvantages of fake buttons.29. What does the underlined word “scam” mean？A. Trick.B. Tool.C. Button.D. Mistake.30. According to John Kounios, people who press fake buttons _______.A. don’t know that what they press is fakeB. should give up this habitC. consider what they do to be meaninglessD. probably do so to kill time【答案】28.
