If you are still planning what you are going to do during the days, why not enjoy a visit to a theme (主题) park?Lots of theme parks have roller coasters (过山车). A roller coaster is anything that may appear dangerous while in fact, it's perfectly safe for family fun as long as you are over the height of 48 inches. If you like heart-stopping thrills, this "scream machine" is your best choice. For example, Kingda Ka is a steelroller coaster located at Six Flags Great Adventure in the United States. It is the world's tallest roller coaster, the world's second fastest roller coaster. Riding this roller coaster makes you feel like you are flying.

If so, we will take you to other theme parks around the world.Ocean Park in Hong Kong is the first stop.

Besides, cable cars will carry you more than 200 metres to the top of the park.Europa-Park is another good choice. If you think a few' days are not enough to travel through Europe,this theme park in Germany will show you what other European countries are like. Europa-Park has 12 country-themed areas. You can first ride French bobsleds (雪橇), then eat Greek sandwiches and then take a roller coaster based on the Russian space station—all in one day! Besides, Europa-Park is very real. The street lights in the Spanish part are from Spain and the small houses in the Swiss part come from Switzerland.Our last stop is Universal's Islands in the US, a world-famous dinosaur theme park.

Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题) (12分，第88题1分，第89-92题每题2分，第93题3分)An old carpenter was ready to retire. He told his employer (雇主) of his plans to leave the house building business and live a more relaxing life with his wife and children. He would miss the paycheck, but he needed to retire. They thought they could support themselves for the rest of their life.The employer was sorry to see his good worker go and asked if he could build just one more house. The carpenter said yes, but in time it was easy to see that his heart was not in his work. He turned to bad workmanship and used poor building materials.It was an unlucky way to end his working life. When the carpenter finished his work and the employer came to see the house, he handed the front door key to the carpenter. "This is your house," he said, "my gift to you."What a shock! What a shame! If he had only known he was building his own house, he would have done it all so differently. Now he had to live in the home he had built none too well.So it is with us. We build our lives in a distracted (不专注的) way, willing to put up less than the best. At important points we do not give the job our best effort. Then with a shock we look at the situation we have created and find that we are now living in the house we have built. If we had realized that, we would have done it differently.It is the only life you will ever build. Even if you live it for only one day more, that day deserves to be lived with dignity (尊严).The sentence on the wall reads, "Life is a do-it-yourself project." Who could say it more clearly? Your life today is the result of your attitudes and choices in the past. Your life tomorrow will be the result of your attitudes and choices you make today.88. The old carpenter lived quite a rich life with his wife and children, didn't he?89. Why did the old carpenter want to retire?90. What did the old carpenter's employer ask him to do before he retired?91. How did the carpenter do the job his employer asked him to do?92. How did the carpenter feel when he realized that the last house he built was his home?93. What does the sentence on the wall mean?VII. Writing (作文): (共20分)94.

Different from that in China, most stores do not provide personal shop assistants unless you ask one of the staff about a specific question. It is never necessary to tell them to leave you alone.I especially like this kind of free atmosphere in which I can walk slowly, pick whatever I want and decide which is to take without any personal suggestions from shop assistants. Although sometimes, store staff help customers to fetch shoes or clothes of a specific size or color, they never exaggerate 夸大their opinions on it, as their task is to provide service but not to provide comments. Besides, each brand has a refund policy 退款政策.The policy may vary from one another, but a cooling-off period of 14 to 28 days is provided for customers to think twice about whether they really want the products they bought. Within the cooling-off period, customers can easily get full refund or exchange if they can provide a valid receipt 有效发票and unused products with all the tags. It encourages customers to buy products more often and increases sales.As for customers, it is also good, for people can have a chance to get back their money which was spent on unwanted clothes.The . is a modern country with traditions.

First, he developed a cancer that left him whistling for breath. Then came cataracts (白内障) in both eyes, arthritis (关节炎) in his legs, and a series of ministrokes (小中风) that threw off his balance. Any one of these misfortunes would have left me begging for relief, but Chance became calmer as the disabilities piled up.When leg pain left him frozen on the floor, unable to rise for a quick pat as I came home, he didn’t complain. He just lay there patiently, signaling me with his hammering tail, each movement spelling out the value of waiting for the things you want. When his cataracts made steering impossible after dark, he’d stand calmly until I could guide him inside, proving how easy it is to find happiness if you let go of your pride and insecurities and learn to lean on those who love you. When ministrokes had him walk unsteadily like a drunk, he taught the value of persistence. For days after each attack, he’d fall as he moved about. Yet again and again he’d try to walk, each day moving a few more steps until finally he was able to get outside and back by himself.There were lessons in so much of what he did, but the key one surely was the importance of obtaining all the joy possible from each experience whether it’s a day lazing under a warm sun or a few minutes appreciating a favorite meal.For most of our life together, Chance was always rushing ahead, searching out new adventures, then circling back to let me know what lay around the next bend.

During its course, French revolutionaries brought down the empire and established a republic of free and equal citizens.In reading the work, one sees that Dickens distorted some details of the French Revolution. At the beginning, Dickens notes that, in 1775, France was busy spending money. This mention of France’s spending touches briefly on what is perhaps the major cause of the French Revolution. Before the revolution, the government often borrowed money because it spent more than it raised in taxes. The increased spending and borrowing made many people’s blood boil, yet Dickens focused instead on the nobility’s oppression and exploitation of t he working class, including peasants, as the causes of the revolution.The Marquis, one of the book’s characters, ill-treats and kills many people. Thus, he represents the nobles who mistreat the lower classes. One reviewer criticized this picture as an unfair representation of French society in the mid-1700s. The reviewer pointed out that the government would have punished nobles who mistreated or murdered. Nobles may have been guilty of other evils, however, such as not feeding the starving masses after bad weather ruined crops in 1789.Dickens’ account of the storming of the Bastille fails to mention that the gang that stormed the prison was looking forbullets and bombs to use in defense against a possible attack by the kin g’s troops. Dickens does inclu de some accurate details, however, such as the crowd’s finding only seven prisoners and freeing them and the pack’s executing (处决) the prison administrator and sticking his head on a post. The scene that the women knit (编织) as they watch the executions may seem to be an odd detail, but actually many women did knit stockings for the war effort as they watched the killing machine at work.Dickens’ descriptions of the steady stream of sentenced people into prison and the carts taking them to their deaths give readers some idea of the frequency with which officials jailed and executed people during the Rule of T error, which lasted about a year. During the Terror, the government jailed about 250 thousand people, tried(审判) and killed about 17 thousand, and executed about 12thousand without a trial. Those executed included people who opposed the revolution, people who offended the revolutionaries, and even some revolutionaries. About 15 percent were members of the ministry or nobility.74. What does the word “distorted” in Paragraph 2 most probably mean?A. Discussed.B. Revealed.C. Provided.D. Twisted.75. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. A wild crowd rushed into the Bastille to fight with the royal soldiers.B. The nobles’ m istreating and killing people is the maincause of the revolution.C. About thirty thousand people lost their lives in the course of the Rule of Terror.D. Women were forced to work for the war supplies while watching people killed.76. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Dickens was once among the revolutionaries storming the Bastille.B. There was an extreme disorder and horror during the revolution.C. Nobles of those days in France were loaded with heavy social responsibilities.D. Classic literary works may serve as history textbooks to a great degree.77. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A. The Collapse of the French EmpireB. Unknown Facts during the Rule of TerrorC. Dickens’ Description of the French Revolu tionD. A Critical View on A Tale of Two CitiesSection CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.For decades, a small percentage of homeowners have been installing solar panels(嵌板) on their rooftops. Those panels collect solar energy and change it into electricity. Until recently, the panels were too expensive for average homeowners, and their designs were anything but appealing. Thanks to new advances, however, solar panels for homes are becoming cheaperand less awkward, causing more homeowners to consider installing them.Last fall furniture seller IKEA began selling solar panels in its U.K. stores. Of course, home improvement stores such as Home Depot have been selling panels for a while. But the initiative by IKEA is seen as a way to bring the Do It Yourself solar option to the masses. While shopping for inexpensive furniture, shoppers could add a box or two of solar panels to their carts. IKEA is partnering with a company that handles installation and servicing of the panels, making the switch to solar easy for customers. If all goes well, IKEA plans to begin selling the panels in other countries soon.SolTech, a Swedish tech company, offers a solar-power solution that is much more pleasing to the eye than traditional solar panels. Instead of flat panels, SolTech offers a glass tile (瓦片) solutionthat goes well with existing tiled roof designs. The see-through tiles have a silver-gray color to them, and their shape fits traditional tiled roof designs. SolTech currently offers the solar systems that heat the home’s air or water and one solar PV system that produces electricity.New Energy Technologies, Inc. is developing a solar application that won’t be installed on rooftop s. Instead, the first-of-its-kind SolarWindow TM technology enables see-through windows to produce electricity in the way of showering their glass surfaces with the company’s patent-pending (专利申请中的) electricity-producing coatings. Amazingly, SolarWindow TM can produce electricity in low-light conditions and can even turn indoor light into electricity! This product holds great promise for commercial buildings since about 60 percent of acommercial building’s surface is covered with windows.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN EIGHT WORDS.)78. Solar panels on homeowners’ rooftops work by __________.79. What is IKEA doing to popularize their DIY solar option?80. SolTech’s solar panels are prettier because the see-through glass tiles are __________.81. How is SolarWindow TM technology used to produce electricity?第II卷（共47分）I.
