The snorkeling classes.‎ B. The airport express service.‎ C. A one-night stay.‎ D. The air tickets.‎ ‎3．What does the customer service manager ask Ms Pierce to do?‎ A. Call the service department.‎ B. Complete the order form.‎ C. Scan the website to find information.‎ D. Fill out the customer satisfaction survey.‎ B Dutch beachcomber (海滩拾荒者) Wim Kruiswijk has accumulated a collection of 1,200 messages-in-bottles over the course of nearly 4 decades and has responded to almost all of them.‎ ‎68-year-old Kruiswijk says that his unusual hobby began in 1983 when he found three drift bottles (漂流瓶) on his local beach, each containing letters and return addresses. He wrote to all three addresses and was surprised to receive responses from each one. It was this experience that aroused his interest in hunting and collecting messages in bottles, and he hasn’t stopped looking for them since.‎ ‎“I find my messages in bottles on the beach of Zandvoort, where I live, and on the Dutch Islands,” Kruiswijk recently told Great Big Story. “Messages in bottles are slow mail. It takes you days, or weeks, or months to find a bottle. ”‎ In the early years, Kruiswijk would find as many as 50 bottles a year, but since 2000 that has slowed to around 20-30 finds, mainly due to beach cleaning efforts. He believes that the rise of the Internet has also played a role in the diminishing number of messages in bottles, telling Dutch news site PZC, “I used to get a response at half the bottle messages that I answered. Now that’s less; many people want ‘instant satisfaction’.”‎ Throwing a message in a bottle out into the sea is a longstanding human tradition dating back to the time of the Greek philosopher Theophrastus, about 310 BC，who used the bottles to study water currents. Scientists still apply the method to this day, as a means to help researchers develop ocean circulation maps, and to crowdsource scientific studies of ocean currents.‎ In the past bottles have also been used to send distress messages from sailors in trouble. They also have been used for memorial tributes, or to send loved ones’ ashes on a final journey. One of the more common uses though is just to send invitations out to prospective pen pals, a quaint notion in these modern times, but, as Kruiswijk so clearly shows, an effective one.‎ ‎4．What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us?‎ A. Kruiswijk found secrets hidden in drift bottles.‎ - 8 -‎ B. What made Kruiswijk become a beachcomber.‎ C. How Kruiswijk formed the hobby of collecting drift bottles.‎ D. Kruiswijk liked to do some research on bottles thrown into the sea.‎ ‎5．How did Kruiswijk feel the first time he received response from drift bottles?‎ A. Satisfied. B. Astonished. C. Frightened. D. Disappointed.‎ ‎6．Why do Kruiswijk find fewer drift bottles than before?‎ A. People hate to receive messages from strangers.‎ B. Many drift bottles have not been washed up onto the beaches.‎ C. Drift bottles appearing on the beach are cleared up rapidly.‎ D. Fewer people are interested in Kruiswijk’s message in bottles.‎ ‎7．What’s the purpose of Theophrastus using the bottles?‎ A. To ask for rescue.‎ B. To look for a pen pal.‎ C. To study ocean currents.‎ D. To send a message to his loved person.‎ C A Song of Ice and Fire is a seven-part series of fantasy written for adults. George R. R. Martin writes each chapter from the perspective of a specific character, providing a limited point of view for each section. The reader is able to understand the inner workings of the individual, but the reader is barred from a whole understanding of the text. The world he has created has magic, but there is much more than that. While magic exists, it exists on the edge, and the inner unrest of the characters is much more important.‎ His work also has a level of realness that is astonishing in a work of fantasy. Characters are imperfect, and many make questionable moral choices. In the end, however, Martin shows that both good and bad happen to both the people of high moral standard and the corrupt. He has made it clear that any character can die at any point, which has led to a lot of heartbreak from readers.‎ In 2011, A Song of Ice and Fire became a television series titled Game of Thrones. Martin has been closely involved with the production. It has currently run for seven seasons, and viewers anxiously await the eighth season to answer their questions from the season seven finale.‎ His fans are also waiting for The Winds of Winter and A Dream of Spring, the next books in the series, to answer the questions Martin and the television show have not yet addressed. Martin, however, has no plans to rush. He has made it clear that he will continue to write the books while working on the television show and writing other novels.‎ But how will the story continue? What is going to happen in Westeros, and more importantly: when are we going to find out? Martinis skill as a writer has kept readers and viewers spellbound. Many hope he will finish the next book before the next season of the show begins, but no one knows with Martin. He always keeps his readers guessing.‎ ‎8．One of the characteristics of A Song of Ice and Fire is ________.‎ A. each chapter is written from a limited point of view B. magic is the center of the story - 8 -‎ C. Martin has made imperfect characters die at any point D. many characters make astonishing choices ‎9．What is George R. R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire considered to be?‎ A. One of his masterworks of fantasy.‎ B. An unsuccessful screen adaptation.‎ C. An artistic creation for the TV.‎ D. One of the best TV programmes.‎ ‎10．What does the word “address” in the fourth paragraph mean?‎ A. written B. spoken C. solved D. directed ‎11．How will the ending of the story be?‎ A. Interesting. B. Confusing. C. Novel. D. Unknown.‎ D Imagine waking up one day and finding that your beautiful local beach is no more—gone, its fine white sand swept away by an abnormal storm. You go about your daily business for 12 long years and then suddenly the beach is back, all its glory restored by another storm. This is what happened on the island of Achill, off the coast of Ireland, where people are celebrating the return of the beautiful Ashleam Bay beach that was taken from them in 2005.‎ That in itself is unusual enough, but the story gets even better! You see, another beach in Achill did a disappearing act once, but took much longer to return. The beach at Doonagh, located only six miles away from Ashleam Bay, was restored earlier in 2016 after waves created by spring storms had swept away all the sand in 1984, leaving just rock pools behind.‎ There is local legend that stretches back hundreds of years that says this beach at Ashleam Bay returns for a short every seven years then disappears again. But this time around it took a bit longer than that. It was last seen in 2005 and it stayed for a few months at that time before it was washed away again.‎ As you can imagine, everyone on the island of Achill is thrilled to have their sandy beach back, and even though no one knows how long it’s going to be around for, they are making the most of the time they’ve got before it disappears again.‎ Some may be quick to believe climate changes cause the phenomenon, but that’s not the reason these two beaches in Achill keep disappearing. Dr Kevin Lynch, a geographer at NUT Galway, says that these occurrences are the result of hydrodynamics (流体力学) and sediment(沉积物) supply, rather than climate changes.‎ Regardless of what’s causing them, disappearing and reappearing beaches are just part of what makes nature so fascinating.‎ ‎12．What is people’s reaction to the return of the Ashleam Bay beach?‎ A. Full of fear. ‎ B. Quite delighted. ‎ C. Very disappointed. ‎ D. Extremely confused.‎ ‎13．What can we learn about the beach at Doonagh?‎ A. It is not located in Ireland.‎ B. It disappeared 12 years ago.‎ - 8 -‎ C. It once disappeared for more than 30 years.‎ D. It is just made up of rocks and pools.‎ ‎14．According to the local legend, when should the Ashleam Bay beach have come back?‎ A. In 1982. B. In 2012. C. In 2016. D. In 2019.‎ ‎15．What does Dr Kevin Lynch think of the phenomenon?‎ A. Some abnormal storms lead to ocean’s enlargement.‎ B. It is hard to uncover the mystery of beach’s disappearing.‎ C. Climate changes can result in beaches disappearing completely.‎ D. Hydrodynamics and sediment supply cause two beaches to disappear.‎ 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Why you shouldn’t punish your kids for lying Getting your children to stop lying is challenging. There are many influences (TV, movies, video games and some great books) in which lies are common. Children see parents lie to others, if only to be polite. Most parents add to that with tales about the lives and activities of Santa Claus or the Tooth Fairy, or to lessen fears. 16．‎ The most common reactions to children who lie are explaining why it is wrong and punishment. 17． Here are three better tools supported by research to use instead.‎ PRAISE: You could ask your child to say something that happened at school that is true. When your child obeys, praise him enthusiastically. Be specific: 18． and give your child a hug or a high five. Aim for one or two interactions (互动) like this a day. If you happen to “catch” your child in a lie, say something like, “That is not true and could get you in trouble outside of the home.”‎ MODEL: Explicitly tell the truth. This could be about something that happened when you were a child or something that happened during the day. It need not be dramatic. Another option is to play a game at dinner. Each person tells one thing that was true that day. Again, give a little praise to the child who normally lies if she plays along.‎ DECREASE PUNISHMENT AND MORALIZING: They are unlikely to change behavior or develop the conduct you want. 19． Rather, use very mild punishment (light scolding, short loss of privilege, a brief time-out). More severe punishments (shouting, taking away something for a week, hitting) are not more effective in actually changing the frequency of lying.‎ ‎20． Usually they can be dropped by then. It is unlikely that lying will be completely removed, but with the right encouragement, lying can be dramatically lessened.‎ A. It is not what that is, but about practice.‎ B. As ways of changing behavior, these are ineffective.‎ C. That does not mean ignoring, lying or letting it go.‎ D. “That was great! You told me what happened just like I asked. Wow!”‎ E. Try these procedures for two to three weeks and see where you are.‎ F. “You did a good job, but what you said was not what I’d like to know!”‎ G. Parents do this out of love, but for some children, lying can become a problem.‎ 第二部分：英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ - 8 -‎ 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，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ How can I forget the day?

I was __34__ with warm water for a bath, followed by a hot __35__ and a comfortable bed. All this took place in semi-darkness. No lights yet. I was up early the next morning and my benefactor (恩人) came to __36__ me off. I could not see his face clearly, as it was __37__ dark.
