The food is simple but good. Children and pets are welcome. Reduced prices for low season.The Snowdonia CentreThe Snowdonia Centre for young mountain climbers has a mountain climbing lesson. The beginners’ costs are ￡57 for a week, including food and rooms. Equipment is included except walking shoes, which can be hired at a low cost.You must be in good health and prepared to go through a period of body exercises. This could be the beginning of a lifetime of mountain climbing adventure.The World Sea Trip of a LifetimeOur World Sea Trip of 2020 will be unlike any holiday you have ever been on before. Instead of one hotel after another, with all its packing and unpacking, waiting and traveling, you just go to bed in one country and wake up in another.On board the ship, you will be well taken care of. Every meal will be first-class and every cabin like your home.During the trip, you can rest on deck（甲板）, enjoy yourself in the games rooms and in the evening dance to our musical team and watch our wonderful play.You will visit all the places most people only dream about — from Acapulco and Hawaii to Tokyo and Hong Kong.For a few thousand pounds, all you’ve ever hoped for can be yours.1．What can you do if you like to go on holidays with pets?A．Choose the holiday in Devon.

A．food B．roomsC．body exercises D．walking shoesOne morning more than thirty years ago, I entered the Track Kitchen, a restaurant where everyone from the humblest(卑微的)to the most powerful came for breakfast. I noticed an empty chair next to an elderly, unshaven man, who looked somewhat disheveled. He was wearing a worn-out hat and was alone. I asked if I might join him. He agreed quietly and I sat down to have my breakfast.We cautiously began a conversation and spoke about a wide rang of things. We never introduced ourselves. I was concerned that he might have no money and not be able to afford something to eat. So as I rose to go back to the counter and buy a second cup of coffee, I asked, “My I get you something ?”“A coffee would be nice.”Then I bought him a cup of coffee, We talked more , and he accepted another cup of coffee, Finally, I rose to leave, wished him well, and headed for the exit. At the door I met one of my friends. He asked,“How did you get to know Mr. Galbreath?”“Who?”“The man you were sitting with. He is chairman of the Board of Churchill Downs.”I could hardly believe it. I was buying, offering a free breakfast, and feeling pity for one of the world’s richest and most powerful men!My few minutes with Mr. Galbreath changed my life. Now I try to treat everyone with respect, no matter who I think they are, and to meet another human being with kindness and sincerity. 4．What does the underlined word “disheveled” mean?A．Unfriendly. B．Untidy. C．Gentle. D．Kind.5．The author bought coffee for the old man becauseA．he thought the old man was poor B．he wanted to start a conversation C．he intended to show his politeness D．he would like to thank the old man 6．How did the author probably feel after he talked with his friend?A．Proud.

Each person produces about two kilograms of rubbish in our homes a day. And this is only a small part of all the rubbish we produce. We also create waste in industry.Have you wondered what happens to the rubbish? Most of it is buried in landfills (垃圾填埋地) or burned. Less than 25% of our waste is recycled.A landfill is carefully designed and it is built into or on top of the ground. Rubbish buried in landfills is cut off from the surrounding environment (groundwater, air, rain, etc).One problem with landfills is that they cover a lot of land space. If they are not well-built, there is a high risk of polluting the land and water. Some people also say that landfills remove materials for ever. As a result, the materials that can be reused are wasted.Burning rubbish in factories is another way to cut out waste. Burning reduces 95% of the waste. And if poisonous materials are removed, and burning is completed at controlled temperatures, it is possible to do so without causing too much pollution. Some factories could even produce electricity from the burning process.Not all of the rubbish can be burned, so we have to separate it before we burn it. However, separation costs a lot of money. Another problem with burning rubbish is that what is left after burning is poisonous. How to safely deal with it is a continuing problem.Before the mid-20th century, landfills were the main way to deal with waste. In the late20th century, other ways like recycling have been introduced to help reduce global pollution.Maybe in the near future, with combined efforts, scientists will find a better way to dispose rubbish and cut out waste, like recycling things. But anyway, mountains of rubbish from life every day is a huge burden for any country.8．What is the advantage of burying rubbish in landfills?A．Producing electricity.B．Reusing the materials buried in landfills.C．Reducing 95% of the waste.D．Cutting off rubbish from the surrounding environment.9．Paragraph 6 is mainly about _________.A．the separation of rubbish B．the problems with burning rubbish C．the safety of burning rubbish D．the cost of burning rubbish10．It can be inferred from the passage that _________.A．rubbish should be separated when it is burningB．landfills are too dangerous to be built too manyC．there’re advantages and disadvantages about burning rubbishD．developed countries are better at dealing with rubbish11．After the last paragraph, what is the author likely to talk about next?A．Pollution. B．Landfills.C．Recycling. D．Environment.It cannot be denied that we all want to succeed, whether it is in losing weight or learning the guitar. For those who have tried and failed, success seems difficult to understand. Why does one person succeed where another person fails? I have made a list of four habits to help set goals and achieve them.Identify your core valuesFinding your core values is in line with creating inner motivation. Sit and reflect on what you value most. Pick a handful of things and actually write them down. Remind yourself of your values every day, and reflect on whether you are honoring those values through your work.Pick a goal and focus on itChoose one goal to start something large enough that will give you a sense ofaccomplishment, while adjusting well to your core values. Focus is key here. The more focused you are on one goal, the higher chance you have of success.If you perform a great many tasks at a time, you might never complete your projects because they will take far too long.Set a deadline for successTo set a date or deadline for success is meaningful and necessary. Identify when you hope to achieve your goal. Keep it realistic, while not giving you too much time. By setting a time limit, you are making the process more real and planned.Stick to your goal.Failure can’t be avoided to some extent when you take risks, by its very definition, the desire to succeed means you are risking failure. Many people tend to give up far too early. Don’t fall into this trap! Remember your mindset （心态）earlier. Know it will happen. A failure is merely you working out the details, and learning what works and what doesn’t. Use failure. Treat it as a good thing, and march on!In your lifetime, you have many opportunities to succeed. While in the process you may encounter （遭遇）plenty of failures, but on condition that you stick to the four habits above, you will be absolutely successful sooner or later.12．You would have a better chance to succeed if you _________.A．reflect on your goal more B．are more concentrated on a goal C．are more eager to succeed D．try your best to avoid failure 13．Which of the following statements is NOT true?A．People are all eager to succeed in life.B．Realizing core values can make inner motivation.C．You are bound to succeed if you follow the four habits.D．failure is sometimes not a bad thing.14．What does the underlined word “it” in the passage refer to?A．detail. B．Failure.C．Goal. D．Success.15．The best title for the passage could be _________.A．Four Habits to Help You Succeed B．Make the right decisionC．Failure is the mother of success D．Find the core values of success二、七选五Follow these tips from the Foreign Office to help you stay safe and secure during your travels abroad — 16．1.

One day, Mrs. Clara gave a math 21 to our class. When the papers were 22 , she found that twelve boys had made 23 the same mistakes in the test.There is 24 new about cheating in 25 . Perhaps that was why Mrs. Clara didn’t 26 say one word about it. She only asked the twelve boys to 27 after class. I was one of the twelve.Mrs. Clara asked no q uestions, and she didn’t 28 us, either. Instead, she wrote the 29 words on the blackboard: On your way home you find some 30 and you’re completely sure that you will never be found out.

We received a text from our son-in-law, Joe Levanti, that Melanie was about to give birth. Tom and I sprang from our chairs suddenly. It’s a tradition in our immediate family to wait at the hospital for a birth. This would be Melanie and Joe’s f irst child.“You take Lizzy out before we leave, and I’ll be waiting for you in the car!”I told Tom. I started the car and waited impatiently. I saw my husband walk out of the front door- but then out shot Lizzy and she was running down the street at great speed.My husband ran after the dog, and I followed in my car. “Lizzy! Lizzy!” we shouted as fear filled our heart. We chased her up and down ou r Bellwood Avenue. “She’s running onto Wireless Road!” We both screamed with fear. Lizzy dashed back and forth in the busy street. My husband kept up his chase on foot. I shouted to my husband, “Tom! Be careful when you cross the street!”Within minutes, traffic was actually stopped on Wireless Road. A half-dozen good people got out of their cars to help. Soon, she ran into a safer area and then back to our street. With the help of six strangers, we caught her within a few anxious minutes. Everyone cheered, and we thanked the helpers again and again.With Lizzy safely back inside, we drove straight to the hospital and were able to see our daughter in the delivery room.

They may think that eating lunch is the cause of the sleepiness. Or, in summer, they may think it is the heat. However, the real reason lies inside their bodies. At that time—about eight hours after you wake up—your body temperature goes down. This is what makes you slow down and feel sleepy. Scientists have tested sleep habits in experiments where there was no night or day. The people in these experiments almost always followed a similar sleeping pattern. They slept for one long period and then for one short period about eight hours later.In many parts of the world, people take naps in the middle of the day. This is especially true in warmer climates, where the heat makes work difficult in the early afternoon. Researchers are now saying that naps are good for everyone in any climate.A daily nap gives one a more rested body and mind and therefore is good for h ealth in general. In countries where naps are traditional, people often suffer less from problems such as heart disease. Many working people, unfortunately, have no time to take naps. Though doctors may advise taking naps, employers do not allow it! If you do have the chance, however, here are a few tips about making the most of your nap. Remember that the best time to take a nap is about eight hours after you get up. Ashort sleep too late in the day may only make you feel more tired and sleepy afterward. This can also happen if you sleep for too long. If you do not have enough time, try a short nap—even ten minutes of sleep can be helpful.8．Why do you sometimes feel sleepy in the early afternoon?A. Because you eat too much for lunch.B. Because it's hot in summer.C. Because your body temperature goes down at that time.D. Because you didn't have a good sleep last night.9．What can we learn about “naps” according to the last paragraph?A. All the people in warmer climates take naps in the middle of the day.B. Doctors need to take naps while employers don't.C. If you take naps every day, you'll never suffer from heart disease.D. Taking naps regularly is beneficial to people's health.10．What can we infer from the passage?A. If you get up at 6:30 am, you'd better take a nap at about 1:30 pm.B. Taking a nap whenever you want will do good to your health.C. You will feel less sl eepy if you sleep for a long time.D. You'll feel sleepy at regular intervals(间隔).11．What would be the best title for the text?A. Just for a RestB. All for a NapC. A Special Sleep PatternD. Taking Naps in Warmer ClimateDSince the beginning of the year，smog has covered parts of North China．In January Beijing saw only five days without smog．The rising PM 2.5 readings terrified many people，and some health experts said that whenever the smog gets serious hospitals receive more patients suffering acute respiratory（呼吸系统）and heart diseases．Later news of polluted underground wa ter in some provinces scared people who wondered whether the water they drink is safe．So the need to emphasize environmental protection while developing the economy is heard everywhere．Smog is especially a common concern．As a popular online post said air may be the only thing that is equal for everyone，despite your income or profession．People with higher incomes are able to drink only bottled spring water and eat only organicfood by paying higher prices，but they breathe the same air as everyone else．At a meeting on Monday，many representatives have expressed their concerns about the air quality too．One talked about his experience in Beijing．"After taking a taxi from the capital airport to my hotel，which took about an hour，I washed my nose and found the inside of my nose was black．We should ask ourselves this question：Why do we want to develop？It's for living a better life．Dirty air is definitely not a better life，" he said．China needs to develop its economy and invest in high-tech．Every Chinese has a dream to make China stronger．But without blue sky，clean water and safe food, the achievements in the economy will become meaningless．Space technologies are not to be developed for building a base on Mars so that one day all human beings can move to the red planet because they have destroyed Earth．What the public wants is a str ong and beautiful China．The great efforts must be made to promote W5P2 ecological progress and build a beautiful China．The words have shown the central government's determination to address the environment issue．12．The effect of smog doesn't include____．A．the increase of people's income B．more people suffering diseases C．the rising of PM 2.5 readings D．patients increasing inhospital13．Why has smog become a common concern？____A．Because people have to pay higher prices．B．Because a popular online pos t discussed it．C．Because we have to develop industry．D．Because nobody can avoid it．14．The underlined word "they" in Paragraph 6 refers to"____"．A．space technologies B．other planetsC．human beings D．industrial development．15．From the last two paragraphs we can infer that___．A．high-tech can completely solve the problem of pollutionB．space technologies should be developed on a large scale．C．we can move to Mars after the earth has been destroyedD．we must protect the environment while developing economy．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。

AResearch has shown that 85 percent of communication is nonverbal, so choosing what to wear to an interview is clearly an important part of your overall presentation. It won’t make up for weak answers, but it can communicate some positive things about your personality and what you might be like to work with.Blue:You can’t go wrong with darker shades of blue, especially navy. Choosing from this powerful color will project an image of someone who is in control. From the interviewer’s point of view, t he color blue suggests calm, stability, trust, truth, confidence and security. These are all great messages to send without saying a word.Gray:After blue, gray is the second most popular color to wear for an interview. Like darker blue, it’s not a distr acting color to the interviewer, which means they’ll be focused more on what you’re saying and how you’re saying it. Gray means sophistication(老成), so use it to your advantage.Black: This is a commanding color and represents authority. Black also suggests excitement, so use it carefully when putting together your interview outfit. You may want to use it as an accent(着重色) —like in a scarf or tie, for instance—rather than as the primary color.Red: This is an extremely powerful color. It’s so strong that y ou should only use it as an accent color. Reds are associated with energy, passion, desire, power and aggression. People think of intensity(紧张) and passion when they see the color red, so use it carefully or it could send the wrong message to the interviewer.White: White shirts and blouses are always appropriate. It sends the message of simplicity, cleanliness, precision(精细) and goodness.1. Why is it important to choose what to wear to an interview?A. Because it will make up for your weak answers.B. Because it suggests something about your personality.C. Because it will make you feel better.D. Because the interviewer judges a person by his appearance.2.

Exercise early in life seems to have lifelong benefits for the brain,in rats at least."This is an animal study, but it shows that physical activity at a young age is very important一not just for physical development,but for the whole lifelong track of cognitive（认知的）development during ageing,"says Martin Wojtowicz of the University of Toronto,Canada."In humans,it may delay the appearance of Alzheimer's symptoms（阿兹海默氏症）,possibly to the point of preventing them."Wojtowicz's team divided 80 young male rats into two equal groups,and placed running wheels in the cages of one group for a period of six weeks.Around four months later—when the rats had reached middle age—the team taught all the rats to connect an electric shock with being in a specific box.When placed in the box,they froze with fear.Two weeks later,the team tested the rats in three situations: exactly the same box in the same room,the same box with the room arranged differently,and a completely different box in a different room.The rats without access to a running wheel when they were young now froze the same percentage of times in each of these situations,suggesting they couldn't remember which one was dangerous.But those that had been able to run in their youth froze 40 to 50 percent less in both changed box settings.“The results suggest the amount of physical activity when we're young,at least for rats,has influence on brain and cognitive health—in the form of better memories—when we're older,"says Arthur Kramer of Northeastern University in Boston,who has found that,in humans,exercise promotes the growth of new brain cells.5.The study shows that______.A.physical activity is important for physical healthing the running wheels is of benefit to the rats' growthC.physical activity can prevent human's Alzheimer's symptomsD.the more exercise a rat has when young,the better memory it will possess when older6.How are Paragraph 3 and 4 mainly developed?A.By analyzing causes.B.By giving an example.C.By describing the process.D.By showing differences.7.What does the underlined word "it" in Paragraph 2 refer to?A.Exercise.B.Development.C.Benefit.D.Study.8.What is the author's attitude towards the animal study?A.Negative.B.Objective.C.Critical.D.Doubtful.CThe “Boomerang Kids” —young adults who leave to go to college, get married or just show off their independence — are moving back in with mom and dad. Boomerang Kids can be a mixed blessing for parents, both emotionally and financially.Especially during hard economic times, adult children head for home. According to a survey, about 40 percent of 2017 graduates still live with their parents. Moreover, 42 percent of the 2015 graduates surveyed said they are still living at home.The reasons are many, the first being economics. While the recession has touched Americans of all ages, it has been very hard for young adults. This has sent many kids back home. Plus, there is the matter of debt, especially college loans. For many recent graduates, it makes smart economic sense to move back in with their parents where life is comfortable and rent is either low or nonexistent. Then, of course, some return for personal reasons, such as recovering from a divorce or an illness.Parents are often glad to help out, both emotionally and financially. As a result, the arrangement often works to everyone’s satisfaction. However, there a re risks, especially for the parents. These include not only family tension and misunderstandings, but also money. The return to the family can become a financial burden that can affect the parents’ plans and their financial future, especially their retire ment, as they try to do too much for their children.9. Boomerang Kids are those who .A. like to show off their independenceB. have problem with their marriageC. graduate from college in advanceD. return to live with parents after graduation10. The underlined words in Paragraph 1 mean something that .A. has advantages and disadvantagesB. is very useful and beneficialC. will have a good resultD. worries people a lot11. What can we learn from the passage?A. It is a tough choice for young adults to move back home.B. Parents may have to deal with extra financial burden.C. Children face fewer financial problems than ever.D. Most graduates choose to live with their parents.DElephants scored a big win in Dohar, Qatar, on March 22. People from 175 countries met in the Middle Eastern country. They voted to continue a ban on the sale of ivory(象牙). Two African nations, Tanzania and Zambia, had asked to open up the ivory trade.People feared that weakening a 21-year-old ban on the sale of ivory would encourage illegal hunting and hurt elephant populations. African elephants once numbered in the millions. Today, there are fewer than 500,000.“People born in 100 years should be able to see an elephant,” said Noah Wekesa, Kenya’s minis ter of forest and wildlife. His country voted to keep the ban.In the 1980s, as many as 1 million elephants were killed throughout Africa. Hunters killed the animals for their ivory tusks, which were used to make jewelry and other things. “The slaughter of elephants in Africa was terrible,” says Paul Todd of the International Fund for Animal Welfare. The group works to protect animals.The ivory wars continued until 1989, when the United Nations voted to ban all trade in ivory. With trade controlled, demand for ivory fell. Governments punished hunters. Elephant populations began slowly to increase.Tanzania and Zambia asked to allow ivory sales from government stockpiles(库存). Ivory is so expensive that it’s known as “white gold”. Tanzania holds almost 200,000 pounds of ivory, which is worth as much as ＄20 million. Zambia has 48,000 pounds of the white gold. The countries said they need the money the ivory would bring. They say it was taken from hunters or came from animals that died naturally.Experts believe that trading ivory encourages illegal hunting. They felt happy about the decision which forbids the sales. “This is a rare victory for elephants,” said Jason Bell. He works to protect animals.12. Tanzania and Zambia asked to open up the ivory trade to____________.A. sell elephantsB. sell jewelry made from ivoryC. sell their stocked ivoryD. continue hunting for ivory13.The underlined word “slaughter” in paragraph 4 most probably means___________.A. protectingB. killingC. increasingD. searching14.

The text is mainly about____________.A. protecting endangered animals around the worldB. the effects of the ivory wars of the 1980sC. the life of elephants in the wildD. continuing a ban on the ivory sale to protect elephants第二节七选五（每空2分，共10分）Summer is the perfect time to relax. As you plan for your trip, here are some tips on how to protect yourself.16 .Fight against the mosquitoes in the hot spots.There are many mosquito-borne illnesses in tropical regions,which are traditionally vacation hot spots. Therefore,mosquito repellent（驱蚊剂）that contains DEET should be an essential item in your travel bag.17 .In lesser-developed countries there is less equipment for clean water and public health.If you can't avoid unhealthful water,make sure you bring along a tea or coffee—making pot that will boil water for you.You'd better buy a case or two of water and check that all bottle caps are sealed to assure the bottled water isn't just a refilled bottle of dirty tap water.Always protect your feet.It's best to wear slippers in the shower,but if you must be barefoot,put a towel down on the floor. 18 .You should never walk barefoot in any area of a foreign country,including your hotel room.Be sure to eat safe fruits.19 .They may have been washed in the same water,or wiped with the same rag used to clean work surfaces in kitchens.The best advice is to bring your own peeler（削皮器）so that you know that something clean has been applied to the fruit.Enjoy the smell of roadside stands,not the food.Unless the food is piping hot when served,it's best to stay away from roadside stands,no matter how good the smell of the food might be.If you are concerned about whether a restaurant is clean,order the food to go. 20 .A.Don't trust the local waterB.Any fruit served fresh may be pollutedC.Look out for any water not served in a bottleD.The boxes may be cleaner than the plate or fork on the tableE.You should know how to keep yourself away from dirty fruitsF.They are necessary to avoid coming back with a major illness from your tripG.Parasites（寄生虫）can enter the skin of your feet and travel to different parts of the body第二部分：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，掌握其大意，从各题所给的四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

We received a text from our son-in-law, Joe Levanti, that Melanie was about to give birth. Tom and I sprang from our chairs suddenly. It’s a tradition in our immediate family to wait at the hospital for a birth. This would be Melanie and Joe’s first child.“You take Lizzy out before we leave, and I’ll be waiting for you in the car!”I told Tom. I started the car and waited impatiently. I saw my husband walk out of the front door- but then out shot Lizzy and she was running down the street at great speed.My husband ran after the dog, and I followed in my car. “Lizzy! Lizzy!” we shouted as fear filled our heart. We chased her up and down our Bellwood Avenue. “She’s running onto Wireless Road!” We both screamed with fear. Lizzy dashed back and forth in the busy street. My husband kept up his chase on foot. I shouted to my husband, “Tom! Be careful when you cross the street!”Within minutes, traffic was actually stopped on Wireless Road. A half-dozen good people got out of their cars to help. Soon, she ran into a safer area and then back to our street. With the help of six strangers, we caught her within a few anxious minutes. Everyone cheered, and we thanked the helpers again and again.With Lizzy safely back inside, we drove straight to the hospital and were able to see our daughter in the delivery room. My husband and I are forever grateful to the strangers who might have saved Lizzy’s life and who enabled us to be there at the beginning of a precious new one.4． Why was the author going to the hospital?A.

To tell us what trouble their pet dog has caused them.CAre you sometimes a little tired and sleepy in the early afternoon? Many people feel this way after lunch. They may think that eating lunch is the cause of the sleepiness. Or, in summer, they may think it is the heat. However, the real reason lies inside their bodies. At that time—about eight hours after you wake up—your body temperature goes down. This is what makes you slow down and feel sleepy. Scientists have tested sleep habits in experiments where there was no night or day. The people in these experiments almost always followed a similar sleeping pattern. They slept for one long period and then for one short period about eight hours later.In many parts of the world, people take naps in the middle of the day. This is especially true in warmer climates, where the heat makes work difficult in the early afternoon. Researchers are now saying that naps are good for everyone in any climate.A daily nap gives one a more rested body and mind and therefore is good for health in general. In countries where naps are traditional, people often suffer less from problems such as heart disease. Many working people, unfortunately, have no time to take naps. Though doctors may advise taking naps, employers do not allow it! If you do have the chance, however, here are a few tips about making the most of your nap. Remember that the best time to take a nap is about eight hours after you get up. A short sleep too late in the day may only make you feel more tired and sleepy afterward. This can also happen if you sleep for too long. If you do not have enough time, try a short nap—even ten minutes of sleep can be helpful.8．Why do you sometimes feel sleepy in the early afternoon?A. Because you eat too much for lunch.B. Because it's hot in summer.C. Because your body temperature goes down at that time.D. Because you didn't have a good sleep last night.9．What can we learn about “naps” according to the last paragraph?A. All the people in warmer climates take naps in the middle of the day.B. Doctors need to take naps while employers don't.C. If you take naps every day, you'll never suffer from heart disease.D. Taking naps regularly is beneficial to people's health.10．What can we infer from the passage?A. If you get up at 6:30 am, you'd better take a nap at about 1:30 pm.B.
