It's made up of more than l,800 coral islands, spreading over a sea area of about 90 thousand square kilometers on the Indian Ocean. People in Maldives believe in Islam. They must observe the religious rules strictly. However, tourists don't need to follow these customs inside hotels, but they must do as the locals when they enter the community of the local people.‎ Jeju Island Jeju Island, also known as the “Islands of the Gods”, is the biggest island of South Korea. It is a volcanic island with a pleasant climate. Its yearly average temperature is 16℃ which makes it the most attractive vacation stop in Northeast Asia. It has gained fame as a shopping paradise. Here all the luxury (奢侈品) brands are free of duty. Every summer thousands of tourists come here to look for the gods, enjoy the coolness of the gentle sea breeze and buy cheap luxuries.‎ ‎ Phuket lsland ‎ Phuket Island, the biggest island of Thailand , is called a pearl on the Indian Ocean. It is world-famous for its beautiful beaches. Some are quiet and tourist-friendly, and some are as ‎ luxurious as personal vacation beaches. Some are famous for sea sports and some are attractive to lovers of evening entertainments. Therefore, you’ll have a good time here whether you're single or accompanied by your friends.‎ Hayman Island Hayman Island, a secret vacation island, is one of the coral islands that make up the Great Barrier Reef. Every year thousands of tourists come here to admire the beauty of the tropic sea and the charming scene of the Great Barrier Reef. However, they seldom see any waiters and waitresses around as they work in and travel through a special tunnel (通道）.This is why it’s called the most secret resort.‎ ‎21. If you intend to do some shopping besides sightseeing, maybe is your best choice.‎ A. Maldives B. Jeju Island C. Phuket Island D. Hayman Island ‎22. Tourists should in Maldives when getting out of the hotels.‎ A. watch out for sharks B. follow the local rules ‎ ‎ C. stay in secret tunnels D. stay away from the local people ‎23. Phuket Island is regarded as by tourists.‎ ‎ A. a pearl on the Indian Ocean B. the Islands of the Gods ‎ ‎ C. a secret vacation island D. the last paradise on the earth ‎24. Tourists think Hayman Island is secret because .‎ A. they are strictly limited within the hotel ‎ B. they aren't allowed to swim in the sea ‎ C. they hardly meet any servants around them ‎ D. they are forbidden to bargain in the market B ‎ A woman was in a hurry to go to the airport. She told the cab driver to drive quickly. She was so absorbed in her own thoughts that she was not aware they were going by a different route.‎ ‎ Suddenly, a man got inside the cab. He took her handbag where she had placed her visa, passport, and all her money for the trip.‎ ‎ The driver, who was in cahoots with the robber, left her in the middle of that dark street. She cursed the world for being so mean to her, and thought how unlucky she was in that situation.‎ ‎ That very same night, she heard some shocking news. Tears flowed down her face. Flight 230, which was the plane that she was supposed to have boarded, had crashed. If she had not lost her precious belongings, she could have lost something far more important—her life.‎ ‎ Sometimes bad things really happen. There are times when nothing seems to go our way. So what should we do about it? We must get rid of all these frustrations and start all over again in the faith that we will get what we deserve. Don’t waste your time and energy on things that can't be changed. Continuous worrying will only affect your health and you'll be doing much more damage than what was previously done.‎ ‎ What if it was the other way round? What if we never ran out of good luck?‎ ‎ There was a man who won the lottery(彩票). He became greedy and wasted all his money on everything he could get his hands on. But when he one day made it to the front page of the newspaper again, it was a different story. He had been killed because of his riches.‎ ‎ If you attain good luck, you can never be too secure about it. Life is so unpredictable. You never know what will happen next.‎ ‎ Live one day at a time. We sometimes subject ourselves to unnecessary emotional trouble.‎ ‎ Live for the moment. Do what must be done for the present and the future will turn out just fine. Believe me. And believe in yourself. As Captain Planet always says, “The power is yours!”‎ ‎25. The underlined phrase "in cahoots with" in Paragraph 3 probably means " "‎ A. forced by B. fighting bravely with ‎ C. trying to beg D. in cooperation with ‎ ‎26. From the passage, we learn that .‎ A. robbers will get what they deserve ‎ ‎ B. some people just never run out of good luck C. the woman was lucky to miss her flight ‎ D. if you feel yourself lucky, you will continue to be so ‎27. The two stories are intended to tell us_______.‎ ‎ A. misfortune might be a blessing B. gains and losses go hand in hand ‎ C. fortune only favors the prepared mind D. we should save up for a rainy day C ‎ Before she was Queen of England, Princess Elizabeth wanted to join the Auxiliary Territorial ‎ Service (A. T. S.), a female branch of the British military. It was World War II , and women worked at jobs traditionally held by men, who were now overseas fighting.‎ ‎ Elizabeth was a teenager and first had to convince her parents about her plan. Her father, King George VI, thought it was too dangerous. But Princess Elizabeth would not take no for an answer. “I ought to do as other girls of my age do,” she said firmly. After some months, her parents finally agreed to let her join.‎ ‎ Princess Elizabeth did not receive any special treatment in the A. T. S.. The only thing different was that she returned to Windsor Castle each night to sleep.‎ ‎ When she arrived at the A. T. S. camp depot(兵站)for her first day of training, Princess Elizabeth was greeted by a car with its wheels off. In the weeks that followed, she learned to take apart an engine and then assemble(装配)it. The princess loved the training, admitting, “I’m a mechanic at last.”‎ ‎ Princess Elizabeth worked on car, truck, and even tank engines. She also learned to read maps and drive officer transport cars, ambulances and military trucks. To complete her A. T. S. training, she was required to drive a big truck on her own.‎ ‎ The king and queen thought driving a truck was too dangerous, but before they could let her know how they felt, they discovered Elizabeth driving a truck onto the palace grounds. She had driven from the A. T. S. camp through the busy London streets all by herself.‎ ‎ Princess Elizabeth became Her Royal Majesty Queen Elizabeth II in 1952. Now in her ninties, she still drives. Queen Elizabeth loves horses and still rides four times each week. She also actively manages her estate（庄园）farm at Balmoral and is often seen hiking through the countryside there.‎ ‎28. What can we learn about women in England during World War II ?‎ A. Most of them joined the A. T. S. B. Most of them served in the army.‎ ‎ C. They were allowed to do men's jobs. D. They were all willing to go overseas. ‎ ‎29. Hearing Princess Elizabeth's plan to join the A. T. S. , King George VI initially________.‎ A. thought highly of her B. rejected her request ‎ ‎ C. gave her some special treatment D. advised her to do what other girls did ‎30. When serving in the A. T. S. , Princess Elizabeth________.‎ A. became an auto mechanic B. was in charge of the A. T. S. camp ‎ C. preferred to drive those big trucks D. was required to stay there all day long ‎31. Which of the following can best describe young Princess Elizabeth?‎ ‎ A. Cautious and friendly. B. Ambitious and sensitive. ‎ ‎ C. Determined and brave. D. Generous and considerate.‎ D How many different emotions (情感) do you think you can communicate to people with your face? Do you have the same facial expressions as people from different cultures? Read this to find out what scientists have just discovered about this topic.‎ ‎ New research suggests that there are only four basic facial expressions of emotion. However, how these expressions are interpreted (理解) might depend on where you are from. Research by scientists from the University of Glasgow has challenged the traditional view of how the face expresses emotions. Until now, it was widely believed that six basic emotions-happiness, sadness, fear, anger, surprise and disgust（厌恶）—were expressed and recognized across different cultures. However, the University of Glasgow's work now suggests that the human face only has four basic expressions of emotion. This is because some pairs of emotions are impossible to distinguish (区分). Fear and surprise, for example, both share wide open eyes. The facial expressions for anger and disgust also look the same.‎ So if our faces are only able to express four basic emotions, how do we communicate a much more complex (复杂的) variety of feelings? The study found that the way expressions are interpreted is different in different cultures. Looking at how people from the East and West look at different parts of the face during facial expression recognition, scientists found that although there are some common features across cultures, the six basic facial expressions of emotion are not recognized universally.‎ What interests people about the cross-cultural aspect of the research? “This work leads to understanding which emotions we share and appreciating our differences.”‎ ‎32. What did the University of Glasgow find?‎ A. Facial expressions express emotions.‎ ‎ B. Six basic emotions can be recognized.‎ ‎ C. Some basic facial expressions are unusual.‎ ‎ D. Some of the six facial expressions are similar.‎ ‎33. Which group may be the four basic facial emotions?‎ ‎ A. Anger, sadness, fear and happiness. B. Sadness, fear, anger and surprise. ‎ ‎ C. Happiness, surprise, sadness and fear. D. Disgust, happiness, anger and sadness.‎ ‎34. What can be inferred from the text?‎ ‎ A. Basic facial expressions are not universal.‎ ‎ B. People find it hard to communicate more feelings.‎ ‎ C. People from the West have more facial expressions.‎ ‎ D. We can't express more feelings with four expressions.‎ ‎35. What is the best title of this text?‎ ‎ A. How do we communicate? B. What does your face say? ‎ ‎ C. What are the six basic emotions? D. Do we have the same facial expressions?‎ 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。‎ This spring, kids in the US will head outside to get active. TFK spoke to Nick Caringi, who is responsible for the training and education of volunteers for Little League International, the largest youth sports organization in the world. He offered some tips for kids playing on a sports team. 36 “Make sure that you have fun first. That’s the right attitude you should have,” Caringi says. “Go in a team with the intention of having some fun, and know that you’re not going to be a major league player from the minute you start. Your goal is to go out, have fun, and make friends. This is an experience that you will carry with you throughout life.” Make the most out of practice: Stay active! “We put an extra emphasis (强调) on activity, on running, on station work, and on fun—fun being the first priority (优先考虑的事). 37 ” Work hard to prevent injuries. “Most sports injuries occur because you do not properly warm up before you play. 38 In the major league, we found that avoiding overuse of arms and teaching the proper mechanics go hand-in-hand in helping to prevent injuries.” Focus on your attitude. “Understand that you can only control two things as a player: your attitude and your effort—how much effort you put toward trying to be a better player and teammate. 39 ” 40 “Go play other sports when one sport is over. It’s interesting and fun to experience other ‎ sports, not only for the benefit of relationships and fitness, but to cross train different muscle groups as you get older. That makes you a better athlete.” A. Always warm up. B. Don’t stop moving in the off-season. C. Have a positive attitude when you join a team. D. It’s also because the techniques aren’t taught correctly. E. You should build up your strength because the game itself is changing. F. Everything else will improve if you concentrate on those two things first. G. Parents want their kids to come home from practice tired and a little sweaty, above all happy. ‎ 第三部分 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）‎ 阅读下列短文，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，并将答题卡上该选项涂黑。‎ Before reading McCarty’s story I had thought that a smile just invited unwanted attention.

We were all excited. enjoying the warm autumn sunshine after five days of rain. We were also all happy about the convenience of the shared bicycles. However, when we arrived we noticed many other shared ‎ bicycle's parked all over the place. many of them blocking the way of the passers-by. One of my classmates suggested that we put them in order, so we got down to work immediately. It took us about ten minutes to arrange the bicycles in an orderly manner. We all felt a great sense of satisfaction, seeing the tidy row of bicycles. and many onlookers thanked us for clearing the path for people to walk.‎ That experience has made me concerned about shared bicycles. They are indeed 8nvcnient. but f do think that we must put them in the proper place after using them. Doing so will not only keep the environment neat and tidy, but will also encourage those around us to be good citizens as well. concerned for the welfare of others.‎
