ThailandThis blood-red pool is perhaps one of the most special hotel pools on the list. Set against the backdrop of Koh Samui's Chaweng Beach, the fascinating colour isn’t the result of using artificial dye.

Just after dusk I'm in a car down a muddy road in the rain, past rows of shackled(戴镣的) elephants，their trunks swinging. I was here five hours before，when the sun was high and hot and tourists were on elephants’ backs.Walking now, I can barely see the path in the glow of my phone's flashlight. When the wooden fence post stops me short, I point my light down and follow a current of rainwater across the concrete floor until it washes up against three large, gray feet. A fourth foot twisted above the surface, tied tightly by a short chain and choked by ring of metal spikes(尖刺) When the elephant tires and puts her foot down，the spikes press deeper into her ankle.Meena is four years and two months old, still a child as elephants go. Khammon Kongkhaw, her caretaker, told me earlier that Meena wears the spiked chain because she tends to kick. Kongkhaw has been responsible for Meena here at Maetaman Elephant Adventure, near Chiang Mai, in northern Thailand, since she was 11 months old. He said he keeps her on the spiked chain only during the day and takes it off at night. But it’ s night now.I ask Jin Laoshen, the Maetaman worker accompany in me on this nighttime visit, why her chain is still on. He says he doesn’t know.Mactaman is one of many animal attractions in and around tourist-crowded Chiang Mai. Meena's life is set to follow the same track as many of the roughly 3，800 captive(被捕获的) elephants in Thailand. When Meena is too old or sick to give rides-maybe at 55, maybe at75she’ll die.

The advertisement is probably intended for ________.A. full-time college studentsB. working businessmenC. studying teenagersD. retired managersBShould doctors ever lie to benefit their patients — to speed recovery or to cover the ing of death. In medicine as in law, government and other lines of work, the requirements of honesty often seem dwarfed (变矮小)by greater needs: the need to shelter from brutal news or to uphold a promise of secrecy or to promote the public interest.What should doctors say, for example, to a 46-year-old man ing in for a routine physical checkup just before going on vacation with his family who, though he feels in perfect health, is found to have a form of cancer that will cause him to die within six months. Is it best to tell him the truth? If he asks, should doctors lie that he is not ill, or minimize the gravity of the illness? Should they at least hide the truth until after the family vacation?Doctors face such choices often. At times, they see important reasons to lie for the patients' own sake; in their eyes, such lies differ sharply fromself-serving ones.Studies show that most doctors sincerely believe that the seriously ill patients do not want to know the truth about their condition, and that informing them risks destroying their hope, so that they may recover more slowly, or deteriorate (恶化)faster, perhaps even mit suicide.But other studies show that, contrary to the belief of many physicians, a great majority of patients do want to be told the truth, even about serious illness, and feel cheated when they learn that they have been misled. We are also learning that truthful information, kind-hearted conveyed, helps patients cope with illness: help them tolerate pain better, need less medicine, and even recover faster after an operation.There is an urgent need to debate this issue openly. Not only in medicine, but in other professions as well, practitioners may find themselves repeatedly in difficulty where serious consequences seem avoidable only through deception (欺骗). Yet the public has every reason to know the professional deception, for such practices are peculiarly likely to bee deeply rooted, to spread, and to trust. Neither in medicine, nor in law, government, or the social sciences can there be fort in the old saying, "What you don't know can't hurt you."61. The requirements of honesty often seem dwarfed by the following needs except ________.A. the need to shelter from brutal newsB. the need to promote the public interestC. the need to expose big corruptionsD. the need to uphold the promise of secrecy62. As to the 46-year-old man mentioned in the passage, doctors ________.A. may be in a dilemmaB. should tell him the truthC. should hide the truthD. must let him go on vacation63. According to some studies, most of the doctors believe the followings except ________.A. that the seriously ill patients do not want to know the truth about their conditionB. that the truthful information may make the patients recover slowlyC. that the patients do want to be told the truthD. that the truthful information can even make the patients mit suicide64. Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the last paragraph?A. There is a need to discuss whether to lie or not.B. The writer believes “What you don’t know can’t hurt you”.C. Many practitioners may try to avoid serious consequences through deception.D. The public has every reason to know the professional deception.65. What does the author mainly discuss in the passage?A. Deception is beneficial to patients.B. Whether patients should be told the truth of their illness.C. Whether patients really want to know the truth of their illness.D. Who benefits from deception.CSeals may be able to detect fish up to 100 m away using only their whiskers (胡须), say scientists. Researchers used an artificial fish in their experiment, to create a “trail” in the water that a seal could detect. They described how a trained seal, named Henry, was able to indicate, with a rapid movement of its head, whether the fish moved to the right or to the left.The study was led by Wolf Hankie of the Marine Science Center at the University of Rostock, Germany. He explained how the seal wore a blindfold (眼罩) and headphones during the experiment to ensure that it could only pick up waves created by the fish with its whiskers. “The animals are actually enthusiastic to wear the mask because it means play time and food rewards,” explained Dr. Hankie.“We had a small box in the pool to achieve calm water conditions,” h e explained. “The seal stayed in the box.” Inside the box, the scientists created a trail with their artificial fish, which was actually a rubber fin (鳍) on a stick that created a trail similar to the swimming motion of a real fish. They operated the fin from outside the box, moving it from left to right or from right to left. The seal responded to the movement by turning its head in the direction that the fin had moved. The seal was able to sense and indicate the direction in which the fin travelled up to 35 seconds after the movement had stopped.Dr. Hankie believes that seals may also be able to “analyze” the structure of a trail to “work out” more about its source. He and his colleagues used different shapes of fin to create different water disturbances. “They seem to be able to detect differences between different shapes, which might even meanthat they can make out different species of fish. We had a surprising result from an experiment with one seal following another,” he said. “The trail left by the first seal was two meters wide, and the second following seal was able to stay right in the middle of it, so it seems they can analyze the internal structure of a trail.”The researchers are now making experiments using live fish to see how closely seals are able to follow their moving path.66. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Seals can track movements in the water.B. An experiment on seals.C. Seals can make out different species of fish.D. Seal whiskers sense faraway fish.67. The un derlined word “trail” means ________.A. waveB. markC. signalD. fish68. The seal wore blindfold and headphones so that ________.A. it could listen to instructions of the scientistsB. the scientists could spot the seal better in the waterC. it could only detect the trail with its whiskersD. it could bee calm69. We can draw a conclusion that seal whiskers are ________.A. dullB. sensitiveC. artificialD. poisonous70. Why did Dr. Hankie and his colleagues use different shapes of fin to createdifferent water disturbances?A. To make the result more correct.B. To find out whether the seal could distinguish different species of fish.C. To make the seal more enthusiastic and active.D. To see if the seal cold work out their sources.PART Ⅳ WRITING (45 marks)Section A (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blankets by using the information from the passage. Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.The search for sustainable sources of energy has led humans to study the energy potential of the sun and the wind, as well as the huge power created by dammed rivers. For example, it has been estimated that the oceans could provide nearly 3,000 times the energy produced by hydroelectric dams such as Hoover Dam. The oceans, too，represent an impressive source of potential energy. Yet, this source remains quite difficult to make use of.But this challenge has not prevented scientists from trying. Within the last few decades, several technologies that can transform the ocean’s huge forces into usable electricity have been invented and introduced. Some focus on capturing the power of the changing tides, while others rely on hot energy created by oceans in certain tropical region. However, the most mon and easiest technologies to develop are those designed to use the power in the ocean’s waves.The potential benefits of wave-based energy are hard to ignore. Once the proper machinery is produced and fixed, the energy is free. Maintenance costs are small and the equipment does not pose any threats of environmental pollution.And best of all the amounts of energy produced are enormous.However, these theoretical advantages have yet to be fully realized. In many cases, a lack of government funding has prevented the technologies from advancing. Protecting the equipment from the sea’s destructive forces, as well as the fundamental task of determining appropriate locations for collecting energy, also presents difficult challenges. All in all, while ocean power offers some attractive possibilities, the difficulties involved in using this energy source are substantial and will require more time to overe.to capturing the power of the changing tides 73 hot energy created by oceans using 74Section B (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and required words limit. Write your answers on your answer sheet.My name is Bob. My first full-time job after high school was selling vacation packages via telephone for a well-known pany. One day, the dialer （接线员）connected me to a man who answered the phone and sounded a bit out of breath.I started with my normal tone, and expecting to hear the normal response, “I don’t want any”, and be hung up on.Instead he spoke in a weak voice and began to tell me how he wished he could take a vacation like the one I was offering, but he couldn’t because he was dying of emphysema. He explained how he was on oxygen, and it took almost all his energy just to get to the phone to answer the call. I apologized to him for that. He asked me if I smoked and then begged me to stop. He told me smoking is what was killing him. He told me to spend every day with my loved ones, and tell them all the time how much I love them. At this point, I was in tears, and couldn’t control myself, and he could tell. We ended the call, and I put my phone on hold to prevent another call from ing in so I could collect myself.After a few moments, I decided to write down his name and address, and just send him a card telling him that I appreciated his advice and that I would pray for him and his family. Shortly after, I received a nice letter back from Frank, along with a picture of him and his wife. We continued to write back and forth over the next few months, and became very fond of each other. He was old enough to be my grandfather, and in many ways, I felt as if he was.About a year later I received a letter from his wife. When I read it, myeyes were filled with tears. She told me how Frank’s battle with the disease had finally e to an end, and he passed away shortly before Christmas. She wanted to thank me for the letters, and then explained how Frank touched many lives over the years. At his funeral, they read the first letter I had written to Frank to show how he affected a 19-year-old he had never even met.81. What would the customer normally do when the phone was connected?

Because in some ways, it is.Most of us feel bad when we make mistakes, beat ourselves up about it, feel like failures, get mad at ourselves.And that’s onl y natural: most of us have been taught from a young age that mistakes are bad, that we should tr y to avoid mistakes. We’ve been scolded when we make mistakes—at home, school and work. Maybe not always, but probably enough times to make feeling bad about mistakes an unconscious reaction.Yet without mistakes, we could not learn or grow. If you think about it that way, mistakes should be cherished and celebrated for being one of the most amazing things in the world: they make learning possible; they make growth and improvement possible.By trial and error—trying things, making mistakes, and learning from those mistakes—we have figured out how to make electric light, to paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, to fly.Mistakes make walking possible for the smallest toddler, make speech possible, make works of genius possible.Think about how we learn: we don’t just consume information about something and instantly know it or know how to do it. You don’t just read about painting, or writing, or puter programming, or baking, or playing the piano, and know how to do them right away. Instead, you get information about something, from reading or from another person or from observing, then you make mistakes and repeat, making mistakes, learning from those mistakes, until you’ve pretty much learned how to do something. That’s how we learn as babies and toddlers, a nd how we learn as adults. Mistakes are how we learn to do something new—because if you succeed at something, it’s probably something you already knew how to do. You haven’t really grown much from that success—at most it’s the last step on your journey, not the whole journey. Most of the journey was made up of mistakes, if it’s a good journey.So if you value learning, if you value growing and improving, then you should value mistakes. They are amazing things that make a world of brilliance possible.6. Why do most of us feel bad about making mistakes?A. Because mistakes make us suffer a lot.B. Because it’s a natural part in our life.C. Because we’ve been taught so from a young age.D. Because mistakes have ruined many people’s careers.7. According to the passage, what is the right attitude to mistakes?A. We should try to avoid making mistakes.B. We should owe great inventions mainly to mistakes.C. We should treat mistakes as good chances to learn.D. We should make feeling bad about mistakes an unconscious reaction.8. The underlined word“toddler” in Paragraph 6 probably means .A. a small child learning to walkB. a kindergarten child learning to drawC. a primary pupil learning to readD. a school teenager learning to write9. We can learn from the passage that .A. most of us can really grow from successB. growing and improving are based on mistakesC. we learn to make mistakes by trial and errorD. we read about something and know how to do it right away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。

单选题一Did you do well in English exam last week?一Yes, I got “A”.A. an; theB. the; anC. a;/D. the; a【答案】B【解析】句意：-上周你英语考试考得好吗？-是的，我得了一个A．根据题干可知说话人询问对方上周英语考试好吗，第一空特指英语考试，则填定冠词the；对方回答其得了一个A，此处表示泛指，且A的发音是元音音素[ei]，则填an，故选择B．do well in表示在某方面做得好。

故选B。

单选题—What should you do for the disabled children in the Children's Home?—We are going to ________ a study group to help them.A.take upB.fix upC.set upD.stay up【答案】C【解析】句意：——你应该为儿童之家的残疾儿童做些什么？——我们准备成立一个学习小组来帮助他们。

考查动词短语。

take up从事，致力于；fix up修理，修补；set up成立，建立；stay up熬夜，不睡觉；根据句意理解及空格后面的a study group可知，这里表达的是“成立”，英语是set up，故选C。
