AAustralians really know how to have a good time. Any type of hobby that you can think of can be found in Australia. The following are four top Australian pastimes.FishingFishing is probably one of the most popular free-time activities in Australia and many people love spending their free time waiting at the end of a rod for a fish to bite on their line. There is free public access to almost all beaches，canals and coasts，which means there are plenty of great places to fish.SurfingAnother popular pastime of the Australians is surfing. Australia has a lot of beautiful surf spots，especially in Queensland. Queensland has some of the best surf beaches in the country such as Noosa Heads，Stradbroke Island，and Burleigh Heads，with the Gold Coast being the best known.BoatingWhat else does an Australian do for fun on the weekend？They might go for a ride on their boat！Plenty of Australians live on the coast and are boat owners. Boat owners might take their craft out to go fishing，or they might just want to sail around the waters slowly.BarbecuesAustralians will also typically host barbecues with their friends and family. They really know how to barbecue. The standard of meat that is cooked and the quality of the cooking is second to none. With New Zealand being so close，the lamb is fresh and absolutely remarkable. But the lamb is not all that is cooked. Any one barbecue in Australia can expect upwards of 7 types of meat，from shrimps （?r）to kangaroos.21. Which of the following surf spots is the most famous in Queensland？A. Noosa Heads.B. the Gold Coast.C. Burleigh Heads.D. Stradbroke Island.22. What can we infer from the last paragraph？A. Tourists can hire boats to go for a ride.B. Tourists prefer fishing to other pastimes.C. The lamb is imported from New Zealand.D. People in New Zealand have better cooking skills.23. What are most of the four top Australian pastimes related to？A. Water.B. Sightseeing.C. Food.D. Deserts.BIt’s a rainy，cold winter afternoon. The boys are playing in their rooms，so it’s the perfect time to do some baking，just enjoying the peaceful moment as I knead（揉）bread dough（生面团）. Suddenly，there is the sound of shouting，tears， a door slam，followed one of them calling，“Mom！He hurt me！”and footsteps running up the stairs. I sigh. My younger son is standing in front of me in tears. I go to hug him as my elder son comes up too，ready to defend his position. All hope of some quiet time has disappeared，but I just don’t feel like playing judge today.“So，who wants to help me bake some bread？”I ask brightly，ignoring their angry looks at not being able to tell me their tales of bitterness. No takers.“Bread is boring，”Tristan finally admits.“Okay，what would you like to make？”I ask.“Chocolate！”Sawyer yells，breaking free of my embrace.“Chocolate chip cookies！”Tristan agrees happily.As I watch Sawyer practice breaking eggs and Tristan reading on his own and patiently instructing his brother on how to measure brown sugar and see their excitement as they use the mixer to grind oats，I know there’s nothing else I’d rather be doing.The kitchen is a disaster. There is egg juice on the counter，flour on the floor，and a mountain of dishes to clean up. But peering through the mess are two happy faces―covered in chocolate，of course，but，smiling ear to ear---and the mess，and their previous fight，is forgotten.As we close the curtains，we sit together on the sofa，and dig into the big plate of cookies，fresh from the oven，baked with love and more than a dash of silliness.24. Why did the writer sigh？A. Her two sons fought again.B. She couldn’t do any baking.C. She had to play with naughty sons.D. Rain ruined a good winter afternoon.25. Why do the writer’s two sons look angry？A. They have to do some houseworkB. They can’t play referee todayC. They have no chance to complainD. They consider themselves treated unfairly26. While baking chocolate，the two boys ______.A. asked the writer to go for a restB. got along well with each otherC. did everything as the writer askedD. planned everything carefully in advance27. Which of the following can be the best title for the text？A. Everything Is a DisasterB. Baking Is TerribleC. Sons Can CookD. Chocolate Cookies End a FightCWhat is the most common cause for people in the UK to ask for leave due to illness？The answer is not the common cold or flu，but back pain. Back pain affects one in three British adults，costs the country over 5 billion pounds every year and is very difficult to treat. But now Britain's National Health Service（NHS）will be offering a new solution：acupuncture. The ancient Chinese needle treatment has been around in the UK for many years，but this is the first time it has been officially approved by the NHS. Traditionally，doctorsin the UK have advised back pain sufferers to stay active，do stretching exercises and take painkillers when necessary. In more serious cases some people are given X-ray treatment or injections with medicines.However，there is evidence that acupuncture may be more effective than expensive X-rays or injections，so patients who have been suffering for over six weeks should be given a choice. As an alternative to acupuncture，patients will be able to choose either a course of spinal manipulation（脊柱推拿），or a series of special exercise sessions. In the UK，acupuncture is regarded as an aiding treatment，which means medical procedure hasn’t experienced serious experiments by which scientists prove some treatments work. While many experts have welcomed the policy to make acupuncture available on the NHS，some are still skeptical about its effectiveness.Research from the US earlier this month found that similar acupuncture using toothpicks（牙签）which do not stick into the skin could be as good as using real needles. So while some are yet to be convinced，back pain sufferers will be hoping that acupuncture helps get them feeling healthy again.28. According to the passage，which is the best way to treat back pain？A. To stay active.B. To be acupunctured.C. To do stretching exercisesD. To take X-ray treatment or injections.29. Why are some people still doubtful about the effectiveness of acupuncture？A. Because they have other choices.B. Because acupuncture is just an aiding treatment.C. Because using toothpicks is as good as using real needles.D. Because acupuncture hasn’t been tested by scientists strictly.30. What does the author want to prove in the last paragraph？A. Acupuncture can be an effective treatment for back pain.B. Toothpicks is a useful tool for acupuncture.C. Needles are no better than toothpicks.D. Toothpicks will take place of needles in the future.31. What does the passage mainly talk about？A. The magic needles.B. Acupuncture in the UK.C. The ways to treat back pain.D. The reasons for people to ask for leave.DYoung children often“read”picture books. They’re attracted by the colorful scenery and the realistic characters that contribute to fascinating plots.Unfortunately，some children can’t use these resources，even if they do know how to read. Take three-year old Elodie Bateson，for example. Elodie was born with under-developed eyes and has retinal detachments（?网膜脱落），making her visually impaired. It is because of people like Elodie that Tom Yeh，head of the Tactile Picture Books Project，has started printing 3D books，so they can feel the illustrations in picture books.The first book Tom Yeh printed was Goodnight Moon，a popular children’s book about a rabbit going to sleep and wishing good night to his surroundings. In the 3D version of this book，children can feel each thing that the rabbit says good night to，whether it is a cow jumping over the moon，a balloon，or a dollhouse.Generally，when children grow older，they read by using Braille，a language that was invented by Louis Braille in 1824. It uses different patterns of raised dots representing differentletters. Readers can then feel the dots and mentally translate the patterns they feel into words. The only problem is that many blind children do not start learning Braille until they are about six years old.Another reason why 3D printed books are such a valuable resource is that children don’t have to know how to read to understand them. However，without these，visually impaired kids are losing six developmental years vital to their growth since they can’t take advantage of picture books.When 3D picture books are printed，plastic is layered（分层放置）repeatedly over a single shape：the shape of the illustration. These raised pictures created through layered plastic serve as substitutes for the Braille letters that little children have no knowledge of.32. What does the underlined word“impaired”in paragraph2 mean？A. Unmatched.B. Disappeared.C. Defeated.D. Damaged.33. What can we know about Braille from Paragraph 5？A. The blind at any age can read by using Braille.B. Most people can translate Braille into words.C. Blind kids begin learning Braille at about six years old.D. Braille uses similar patterns of raised dots to stand for different letters.34. We can know that the illustrations in 3D books are raised ______.A. dotsB. picturesC. lettersD. plastic35. What is the aim of the Tactile Picture Books Project？A. To teach the blind children Braille.B. To encourage kids to read books.C. To cure visually impaired children.D. To help the blind children read picture books.第二? （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。

ATo achieve further education, international students must take a standardized test of English. Three popular tests are TOEFL, TOEIC, and IELTS.Here are several introductions for a student applying to a school to learn which test the program requires.The TOEIC tests workplace communicationThe TOEIC test started in the 1970s. The TOEIC is based on English used in the workplace. But the test does not require knowledge of special business words. The questions come from real situations like attending a company meeting.ETS says that 14,000 organizations in 150 countries use the TOEIC.The TOEFL tests English used in the classroomThere are several versions of the TOEFL.Students take the Internet-based TOEFL, or TOEFL IBT, on a computer. Many U.S. universities require the TOEFL IBT for international student admissions.Another TOEFL is the paper-based TOEFL, or TOEFL ITP. It is part of ETS’s institutional testingprogram. TOEFL ITP is used within institutions for the purpose of placement or to evaluate progress of students. It is notaccepted for entrance to universities.For young English learners, there are two new TOEFL tests. The TOEFL Junior Test is for youngpeople between 11 and 15 years old. And the TOEFL Primary Test is for those over the age of eight.IELTS tests academic and general language skillsThe IELTS has two forms. The Listening and Speaking sections are the same for both forms. In the Reading and Writing sections, however, there are two different tests.The Academic IELTS uses topics and materials covered in undergraduate, graduate, or professional programs.The General IELTS uses topics and material from everyday books, newspapers and magazines.1. Which kind of TOEFL is used within institutions for the purpose of placement or to evaluate progress of students?A. TOEFL IBT.B. TOEFL ITP.C. TOEFL Junior Test.D. TOEFL Primary Test.2. According to the passage, which description is Not right?A. The TOEIC test includes questions coming from real situations like attending a company meeting.B. Many U.S. universities require the TOEFL IBT for international student admissions.C. The Academic IELTS uses topics and materials covered in undergraduate, graduate, or professional programs.D. The Listening and Writing sections are the same for The Academic IELTS and The General IELTS.3. The writer wrote the article mainly to ___________.A. make an introduction about three popular testsB. place an advertisement for three popular testsC. give a business talk about three popular testsD. give a lesson on three popular testsBNASA on Thursday announced the discovery of Kepler-452b, the most Earth-like planet ever found.Located 1,400 light-years from our planet, NASA called it “Earth 2.0”, because it’s the first planet discovered in the habitable zone of a G star similar to our sun.“We can think of Kepler-452b as an older, bigger cousin to Earth, providing an opportunity to understand and reflect upon Ear th’s evolving environment,” said Jon Jenkins, the Kepler data analysis lead at NASA's Ames Research Center.The planet is 5 percent farther away from its star than Earth is to the sun, making for a slightly longer year of 385 days, but gets similar light because its sun is 20 percent brighter than our own.“The sunshine from this star would feel very similar to the sunshine from our star,” Jenkins told reporters.NASA believes the planet has a mass about five ti mes more massive than Earth’s, with a rocky surface below a thicker atmosphere than our own. Gravity would be about twice as strong on Kepler-452b as it is on Earth, NASA said.The planet is located in the Kepler-452 system in the constellation Cygnus (天鹅座). Its sun has the same surface temperature as our own, but has a diameter that is 10 percent larger.While NASA scientists have no idea if Kepler-452b’s atmosphere is conducive to life, they do know that there has been plenty of time for organisms to develop.“It’s awe-inspiring to consider this planet spent 6 billion years in the habitable zone of its star, which is longer the age of the Earth,” Jenkins said. “That is considerable time and opportunity for life to a rise somewhere on its surface or oceans if all the necessary conditions for life exist on this planet.”4. The reason why NASA called Kepler-452b “Earth 2.0” is that ___________.A. it is 5 percent farther away from its star than Earth is to the sunB. it has a mass about five times more massive than Earth’sC. it’s the first planet discovered in the habitable zone of a G star similar to our sunD. it is longer the age of the Earth5. According to the passage, we know that ____________.A. Kepler-452b is located in the constellation CygnusB. Kepler-452b’s atmosphere is conducive to lifeC. gravity would be about twice as strong on Earth as it is on Kepler-452bD. the sunshine from Kepler-452b would feel very different from the sunshine from earth6. The underlined part “habitable zone” in the last paragraph refers to ___________.A. a large area which is different from othersB. a small area which is the same as othersC. a large area which is good enough for people to live inD. a small area which is hard for people to live in7. What type of writing is the text? It’s ____________.A. an exhibition guide.B. an art show review.C. a science fictionD. a news reportCAre you trying to learn a new language in a foreign land? You might be better off if you stopped looking at that picture of your family and friends.New research from Columbia University found that prompting someone who is learning a new language with images and reminders of their own culture could temporarily ruin everything that the brain was trying to build.When native Chinese students were asked to talk with a Caucasian avatar (白种人的虚拟头像) and a Chinese avatar, their English skills were so different. Simply exposing students to a Chinese person affected their ability to speak English. Subjects who talked with the Chinese version felt more comfortable in their speech, but they produced 11% fewer words per minute. They actually became less fluent speakers. To make sure it wasn't just the avatar, researchers also showed people random images of China while the participants told a story. When pictures of their homeland appeared, fluency dropped 16% and volunteers were 85% more likely to use a literal translation, for example, calling pistachios “happy nuts”, because that's literally what the Chinese word for pistachio means.When the students were shown pictures of fish with one swimming ahead of the others, their culture would change how they look at the photo. With Chinese prompts (提示), like photos of the Great Wall or Chinese Dragon, etc. they saw more students thinking that the fish was being chased, while an American prompt, like pictures of Marilyn Monroe or Superman, saw those students believing that it was a leader fish. Why are our cultural symbols Marilyn Monroe and Superman?The bottom line is: when attempting to learn a new culture it is far better to surround yourself withthat culture than create an island of the old one.8. Why does the author use a question in the first paragraph?A. To raise a question.B. To arouse readers’ awareness.C. To introduce the topic.D. To tell a story.9. The underlined word “pistachios” in the fourth paragraph refers to ___________.A. picturesB. a kind of foodC. volunteersD. an image10. From the passage we can infer that ___________.A. with Chinese prompts, more students thought that it was a leader fishB. with an American prompt, more students thought that the fish was being chasedC. different images would change with different peopleD. different cultures would affect how students look at the photo11. According to the research, which is a better way for a student in a foreign land to learn a new culture?A. To surround himself with that culture.B. To create an island of the old one.C. To see random images of China.D. To talk with a Caucasian avatar.DJust three days after hitting the screen across China, the Chinese animation (动画) film “Monkey King: Hero is Back”aroused enthusiasm among audience and ticket sales have exceeded（超过）100 million yuan ($16.11 million).Web celebrities and many fans even posted topics about the film on China’s Twitter-like Weibo, atwhich heated discussion are sparked.“Monkey King: Hero is Back” is based on the household legend of the Monkey King, but tells a not-so fa miliar story. However, it’s still a Chinese style heroic legend and an exciting adventure against evil and darkness in troubled times, according to Lu Wei, the producer.“Monkey King is China’s super hero. It is so popular among Chinese audience because t hey long for and cherish our own superhero,” said Tian Xiaopeng, the director.Some media also put on a lot of comments from foreigners.“He’s never dead, he’s just fallen asleep. We all need a hero to look up to, to give us hope and courage when it is needed. We grew up listening to his tales, his great adventures and heroic deeds. What makes a true hero is not just helping people when one has the power, but having the courage to stand up against the evil even without power. And this is what the film is about. When the hero loses his power and armor, when he is nothing more than an ordinary monkey, what would he do to protect the one he loves? This is also about a group of Chinese dream chasers trying to keep the beacon of hope l it even though being in the most unfavorable situations” from Tumblr.“Though the film was injected with a little bit of Hollywood, its bold and creative story has attracted several Chinese cinema aficionados.” from Yibada.One netizen posted after watch ing the film: “The film sets a new high-bar for the domestic animation film, when I walked out of the theater, I was crying.”12. According to the director’s opinion, the film is so popular among Chinese audience because_______.A. Chinese audience long for and cherish his own superheroB. the film is based on the household legend of the Monkey KingC. the Chinese need a hero to look up to, to give them hope and courageD. the film was injected with a little bit of Hollywood13. According to the passage, it can be inferred that _________.A. the film is still a Chinese style heroic legendB. the film is well-receivedC. the film tells us the fact that what makes a true hero is to help people when one has the powerD. the film only aroused enthusiasm among Chinese audience14. After watching the film, the netizen mentioned in the last paragraph was _________.A. very sadB. deeply moved C .very crazy D. deeply gloomy15. Why does the writer mention Weibo, Tumblr and Yibada? Because he wants to __________.A. persuade more readers to visit themB. tell readers some information about themC. make them better known to readersD. provide some evidence for readers第二节（共5 小题：每题2 分，总分值10 分）依照短文内容，从短文后的选项当选出能填入空白处的最正确选项。

People settle in these places because they are easy to get to and naturally suited to communications and trade. New York City, for example, is near a large harbour at the mouth of the Hudson River. Over 300 years its population grew gradually from 800 people to 8 million. But not all cities develop slowly over a long period of time. Boom towns grow from nothing almost overnight. In 1896, Dawson, Canada, was unmapped wilderness(荒野). But gold was discovered there in 1897, and two years later, it was one of the largest cities in the West, with a population of 30,000.Dawson did not have any of the natural conveniences of cities like London or Paris. People went there for gold. They travelled over snow-covered mountains and sailed hundreds of miles up icy rivers. The path to Dawson was covered with thirty feet of wet snow that could fall without warming. An avalanche(雪崩) once closed the path, killing 63 people. For many who made it to Dawson, however, the rewards were worth the difficult trip. Of the first 20,000 people who dug for gold, 4,000 got rich. About 100 of these stayed rich men for the rest of their lives.But no matter how rich they were, Dawson was never comfortable. Necessities like food and wood were very expensive. But soon, the gold that Dawson depended on had all been found. The city was crowded with disappointed people with no interest in settling down, and when they heard there were new gold discoveries in Alaska, they left Dawson City as quickly as they had come. Today, people still come and go — to see where the Canadian gold rush happened. Tourism is now the chief industry of Dawson City — its present population is 762.4. What attracted the early settlers to New York City?A. Its business culture.B. Its small population.C. Its geographical position.D. Its favourable climate.25. What do we know about those who first dug for gold in Dawson?A. Two-thirds of them stayed there.B. One out of five people got rich.C. Almost everyone gave up.D. Half of them died.6. What was the main reason for many people to leave Dawson?A. They found the city too crowded.B. They wanted to try their luck elsewhere.C. They were unable to stand the winter.D. They were short of food.7. What is the text mainly about?A. The rise and fall of a city.B. The gold rush in Canada.C. Journeys into the wilderness.D. Tourism in Dawson.CWhile famous foreign architects are invited to lead the designs of landmark buildings in China such as the new CCTV tower and the National Center for the Performing Arts, many excellent Chinese architects are making great efforts to take the center stage.Their efforts have been proven fruitful. Wang Shu, a 49-year-old Chinese architect, won the 2012 Pritzker Architecture Prize — which is often referred to as the Nobel Prize in architecture — on February 28. He is the first Chinese citizen to win this award.Wang serves as head of the Architecture Department at the China Academy of Art (CAA). His office is located at the Xiangshan campus(校园) of the university in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province. Many buildings on the campus are his original creations.The style of the campus is quite different from that of most Chinese universities. Many visitors were amazed by the complex architectural space and abundant building types. The curves(曲线) of the buildings perfectly match the rise and fall of hills, forming a unique view.Wang collected more than 7 million abandoned bricks of different ages. He asked the workers to usetraditional techniques to make the bricks into walls, roofs and corridors. This creation attracted a lot of attention3thanks to its mixture of modern and traditional Chinese elements(元素).Wang’s works show a deep understanding of modern architecture and a good knowledge of traditions. Through such a balance, he had created a new type of Chinese architecture, said Tadao Ando, the winner of the 1995 Pritzker Prize.Wang believes traditions should not be sealed in glass boxes at museums. "That is only evidence that traditions once existed," he said."Many Chinese people have a misunderstanding of traditions. They think tradition means old things from the past. In fact, tradition also refers to the things that have been developing and that are still being created, " he said."Today, many Chinese people are learning Western styles and theories rather than focusing on Chinese traditions. Many people tend to talk about traditions without knowing what they really are, " said Wang.The study of traditions should be combined with practice. Otherwise, the recreation of traditions would be artificial and empty, he said.8. Wang’s wi nning of the prize means that Chinese architects are ___________.A. following the latest world trendB. getting international recognitionC. working harder than ever beforeD. relying on foreign architects9. What impressed visitors to the CAA Xiangshan campus most?A. Its hilly environment.B. Its large size.C. Its unique style.D. Its diverse functions.10. What made Wang’s architectural design a success?A. The mixture of different shapes.B. The balance of East and West.C. The use of popular techniques.D. The harmony of old and new.11. What should we do about Chinese traditions according to Wang?A. Spread them to the world.B. Preserve them at museums.C. Teach them in universities.D. Recreate them in practice.DAdults understand what it feels like to be flooded with objects. Why do we often assume that more is more4when it comes to kids and their belongings? The good news is that I can help my own kids learn earlier than I did how to live more with less.z.x.xkI found the pre-holidays a good time to encourage young children to donate less-used things, and it worked. Because of our efforts, our daughter Georgia did decide to donate a large bag of toys to a little girl whose mother was unable to pay for her holiday due to illness. She chose to sell a few larger objects that were less often used when we promised to put the money into her school fund(基金）(our kindergarten daughter is serious about becoming a doctor)For weeks, I've been thinking of bigger, deeper questions: How do we make it a habit for them? And how do we train ourselves to help them live with, need, and use less? Yesterday, I sat with my son, Shepherd, determined to test my own theory on this. I decided to play with him with only one toy for as long as it would keep his interest. I expected that one toy would keep his attention for about five minutes, ten minutes, max. I chose a red rubber ball-simple, universally available. We passed it, he tried to put it in his mouth, he tried bouncing it, rolling it, sitting on it, throwing it. It was totally, completely enough for him. Before I knew it an hour had passed and it was time to move on to lunch.We both became absorbed in the simplicity of playing together. He had my full attention and I had his. My little experiment to find joy in a single object worked for both of us.12. What do the words “more is more” in paragraph 1 probably mean?A. The more, the better.B. Enough is enough.C. More money, more worries.D. Earn more and spend more.13.What made Georgia agree to sell some of her objects?A. Saving up for her holidayB. Raising money for a poor girlB. Adding the money to her fund D. Giving the money to a sick mother14. Why did the author play the ball with Shepherd?A. To try out an ideaB. To show a parent's loveC. To train his attentionD. To help him start a hobby15. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Take It or Leave ItB. A Lesson from KidsC. Live More with LessD. The Pleasure of Giving5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。

I was able to buy it a little over a year ago because I had my relatives give me money for my birthday instead of a lot of clothes that wouldn’t fit. I let a salesclerk fool me into buying a discontinued model. I realized this a day later, when I saw newspaper advertisements for the set at seventy-five dollars less than I had paid. The set worked so beautifully when I first got it home that I would keep it on until stations signed off for the night. Fortunately, I didn’t get any channels showing all-night movies or I would never have gotten to bed. Then I started developing a problem with the set that involved static (静电) noise. For some reason, when certain shows switched into a commercial, a loud noise would sound for a few seconds. Gradually, this noise began to appear during a show, and to get rid of it, I had to change to another channel and then change it back. Sometimes this technique would not work, and I had to pick up the set and shake it to remove the sound. I actually began to build up my arm muscles(肌肉) shaking my set. When neither of these methods removed the static noise, I would sit helplessly and wait for the noise to go away. At last I ended up hitting the set with my fist, and it stopped working altogether. My trip to the repair shop cost me $62, and the set is working well now, but I keep expecting more trouble. 21. Why did the author say he was fooled into buying the TV set? A. He got an older model than he had expected. B. He couldn’t return it when it was broken. C. He could have bought it at a lower price. D. He failed to find any movie shows on it. 22. Which of the following can best replace the phrase “signed off” in Paragraph 1? A. ended all their programs B. provided fewer channels C. changed to commercials D. showed all-night movies 23. How did the author finally get his TV set working again? A. By shaking and hitting it. B. By turning it on and off. C. By switching channels. D. By having it repaired. 24. How does the author sound when telling the story? A. Curious B. Anxious

AAustralians really know how to have a good time. Any type of hobby that you can think of can be found in Australia. The following are four top Australian pastimes.FishingFishing is probably one of the most popular free-timeactivities in Australia and many people love spending their free time waiting at the end of a rod for a fish to bite on their line. There is free public access to almost all beaches， canals and coasts， which means there are plenty of great places to fish.SurfingAnother popular pastime of the Australians is surfing.Australia has a lot of beautiful surf spots ， especially in Queensland. Queensland has some of the best surf beaches in the country such as Noosa Heads， Stradbroke Island， and Burleigh Heads ， with the Gold Coast being the best known.BoatingWhat else does an Australian do for fun on the weekend ？They might go for a ride on their boat ！Plenty of Australians live on the coast and are boat owners. Boat owners might take their craft out to go fishing ， or they might just want to sail around the waters slowly.BarbecuesAustralians will also typically host barbecues with their friends and family. They really know how to barbecue. The standard of meat that is cooked and the quality of the cooking is second to none. With New Zealand being so close ， the lamb is fresh and absolutely remarkable. But the lamb is not all that is cooked. Any one barbecue in Australia can expect upwards of 7 types of meat， from shrimps （?r） to kangaroos.21. Which of the following surf spots is the most famous in Queensland？A. Noosa Heads.B. the Gold Coast.C. Burleigh Heads.D. Stradbroke Island.22. What can we infer from the last paragraph ？A. Tourists can hire boats to go for a ride.B. Tourists prefer fishing to other pastimes.C. The lamb is imported from New Zealand.D. People in New Zealand have better cooking skills.23. What are most of the four top Australian pastimesrelated to？A. Water.B. Sightseeing.C. Food.D. Deserts.BIt ’s a rainy， cold winter afternoon. The boys are playingin their rooms ， so it’s the perfect time to do some baking ， just enjoying the peaceful moment as I knead（揉） bread dough（生面团） . Suddenly， there is the sound of shouting， tears， a door slam， followed one of them calling ，“ Mom ！ He hurt me！” and footsteps running up the stairs. I sigh. My younger son is standing in front of me in tears. I go to hug him as myelder son comes up too， ready to defend his position. All hopeof some quiet time has disappeared， but I just don ’t feel like playing judge today.“So， who wants to help me bake some bread？” I askbrightly ， ignoring their angry looks at not being able to tell me their tales of bitterness. No takers.“Bread is boring ，”Tristan finally admits. “ Okay， what would you like to make ？”I ask.“Chocolate！”Sawyer yells ，breaking free of my embrace.“Chocolate chip cookies ！”Tristan agrees happily.As I watch Sawyer practice breaking eggs and Tristan reading on his own and patiently instructing his brother on how to measure brown sugar and see their excitement as they use the mixer to grind oats ， I know there ’s nothing else I’d rather be doing.The kitchen is a disaster. There is egg juice on the counter，flour on the floor ， and a mountain of dishes to clean up. But peering through the mess are two happy faces― covered in chocolate， of course， but， smiling ear to ear---and the mess，and their previous fight ， is forgotten.As we close the curtains ， we sit together on the sofa， anddig into the big plate of cookies ， fresh from the oven ， baked with love and more than a dash of silliness.24. Why did the writer sigh ？A. Her two sons fought again.B.She couldn ’t do any baking.C.She had to play with naughty sons.D.Rain ruined a good winter afternoon.25. Why do the writer ’ s two sons look angry ？A. They have to do some houseworkB. They can’ t play referee todayC. They have no chance to complainD. They consider themselves treated unfairly26.While baking chocolate ， the two boys ______.A. asked the writer to go for a restB. got along well with each otherC. did everything as the writer askedD. planned everything carefully in advance27.Which of the following can be the best title for thetext？A. Everything Is a DisasterB. Baking Is TerribleC. Sons Can CookD. Chocolate Cookies End a FightCWhat is the most common cause for people in the UK toask for leave due to illness ？ The answer is not the common cold or flu ， but back pain. Back pain affects one in three British adults， costs the country over 5 billion pounds every year and is very difficult to treat. But now Britain's National HealthService（ NHS ） will be offering a new solution ： acupuncture. The ancient Chinese needle treatment has been around in the UK for many years ， but this is the first time it has been officially approved by the NHS.Traditionally ， doctorsin the UK have advised back pain sufferers to stay active ， do stretching exercises and take painkillers when necessary. In more serious cases some people are given X-ray treatment or injections with medicines.However ， there is evidence that acupuncture may be moreeffective than expensive X-rays or injections ， so patients who have been suffering for over six weeks should be given a choice. As an alternative to acupuncture ， patients will be able to choose either a course of spinal manipulation（脊柱推拿）， or a series of special exercise sessions. In the UK， acupuncture is regarded as an aiding treatment， which means medical procedure hasn’t experienced serious experiments by which scientists prove some treatments work. While many experts have welcomed the policy to make acupuncture available on theNHS ， some are still skeptical about its effectiveness.Research from the US earlier this month found that similaracupuncture using toothpicks（牙签） which do not stick intothe skin could be as good as using real needles. So while some are yet to be convinced ， back pain sufferers will be hopingthat acupuncture helps get them feeling healthy again.28.According to the passage， which is the best way to treat back pain？A. To stay active.B. To be acupunctured.C. To do stretching exercisesD. To take X-ray treatment or injections.29. Why are some people still doubtful about the effectiveness of acupuncture？A. Because they have other choices.B. Because acupuncture is just an aiding treatment.C.Because using toothpicks is as good as using real needles.D. Because acupuncture hasn’ t been tested by scientists strictly.30. What does the author want to prove in the last paragraph？A. Acupuncture can be an effective treatment for back pain.B. Toothpicks is a useful tool for acupuncture.C. Needles are no better than toothpicks.D. Toothpicks will take place of needles in the future.31. What does the passage mainly talk about？A. The magic needles.B. Acupuncture in the UK.C. The ways to treat back pain.D. The reasons for people to ask for leave.DYoung children often “read” picture books. They ’ re attracted by the colorful scenery and the realistic characters that contribute to fascinating plots.Unfortunately ， some children can’t use these resources，even if they do know how to read. Take three-year old Elodie Bateson， for example. Elodie was born with under-developed eyes and has retinal detachments（ ?网膜零落），making her visually impaired.It is because of people like Elodiethat Tom Yeh， head of the Tactile Picture Books Project ， has started printing 3D books ， so they can feel the illustrations in picture books.The first book Tom Yeh printed was Goodnight Moon ， a popular children ’ s book about a rabbit going to sleep and wishing good night to his surroundings. In the 3D version of this book， children can feel each thing that the rabbit says good night to ， whether it is a cow jumping over the moon ， a balloon ， or a dollhouse.Generally ， when children grow older ， they read by using Braille ， a language that was invented by Louis Braille in 1824. It uses different patterns of raised dots representing differentletters. Readers can then feel the dots and mentally translatethe patterns they feel into words. The only problem is that many blind children do not start learning Braille until they are about six years old.Another reason why 3D printed books are such a valuable resource is that children don ’t have to know how to read to understand them. However， without these ， visually impaired kids are losing six developmental years vital to their growth since they can’ t take advantage of picture books.When 3D picture books are printed ， plastic is layered（分层搁置） repeatedly over a single shape： the shape of the illustration. These raised pictures created through layered plastic serve as substitutes for the Braille letters that little children have no knowledge of.32. What does the underlined word“impaired ”in paragraph 2mean？A. Unmatched.B. Disappeared.C. Defeated.D. Damaged.33. What can we know about Braille from Paragraph 5 ？A. The blind at any age can read by using Braille.B. Most people can translate Braille into words.C. Blind kids begin learning Braille at about six years old.D. Braille uses similar patterns of raised dots to stand for different letters.34. We can know that the illustrations in 3D booksare raised ______.A. dotsB. picturesC. lettersD. plastic35. What is the aim of the Tactile Picture Books Project ？A. To teach the blind children Braille.B. To encourage kids to read books.C. To cure visually impaired children.D. To help the blind children read picture books.第二 ? （共 5 小题，每题 2 分，满分10 分）依据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最正确选项，选项中有两项为剩余选项。
