Many people use the National Day for a getaway, a short trip to leave the stress of their everyday lives behind and explore, learn, or relax.‎ Hotel Romance ‎ Many hotels and resorts feature something special to start the getaway, such as champagne, flowers, or a fruit basket in the room on arrival. Getaway packages usually include a room with something special, a heart shaped bed, for example. Additional benefits could be room service meals or other private dining, plus tickets or discounts for local attractions.‎ - 14 -‎ Visit a Spa ‎ Spa getaways can take place at a location that focuses only on spa services or at a hotel that offers a spa as one of its features. Some spas emphasize treatments fit for their geographic area or a local attraction. A spa in a grape growing region might provide grape juice masks, or a hotel near a hot spring could offer mineral baths. Most spas offer a range of massage, health and beauty treatments, so a spa getaway can be relaxing with other benefits.‎ Learn a Skill ‎ The National Day holiday may not be enough time to become an expert at something new, but it provides a way for people to begin their explorations. Some organizations offer intensive courses that last five or six days. People with special interests can get away from their routines while learning such things as how to make beer, speak a new language, or take better photos.‎ Help Others ‎ Some organizations cooperate with businesses to have accommodations and activities for short-term volunteers. Most volunteer vacations involve ecology friendly or charity activities. A volunteer getaway is a way to relieve stress and help others at the same time.‎ Stay in a National Park ‎ For those who want to relax in a rural environment, a national park fits the bill. Most national parks provide camping areas for tents and trailers. Several have cabins within the parks available to rent. A getaway to a national park provides privacy, stress relief, and the time to get to know some important natural resources.‎ ‎21. The underlined word “getaway” in the 1st paragraph most probably means .‎ A. exploration B. location C. vacation D. activity ‎22.

Clearly they knew at what time the train passed their homes and they made it their business to stand along the railway, wave - 14 -‎ ‎ to complete strangers and cheer them up as they rushed towards Penang. Often whole families stood outside their homes and waved and smiled as if those on the trains were their favorite relatives. This is the simple village people of Malaysia. I was moved.‎ I had always traveled to Malaysia by plane or car, so this was the first time I was on a train. I did not particularly relish the long train journey and had brought along a dozen newspapers and magazines to read and reread. I looked about the train. There was not one familiar face. I sighed and sat down to read my 21st Century Teens.‎ It was not long before the train was across the Causeway and in Malaysia. Johore Baru was just another city like Singapore, so I was tired of looking at the crowds of people as they hurried past. As we went beyond the city, I watched the straight rows of rubber trees and miles and miles of green. Then the first village came into sight. Immediately I came alive; I decided to wave back.‎ From then on my journey became interesting. I threw my magazines into the waste basket and decided to join in Malaysian life. Then everything came alive. The mountains seemed to speak to me. Even the trees were smiling. I stared at everything as if I was looking at it for the first time.‎ The day passed fast and I even forgot to have my lunch until I felt hungry. I looked at my watch and was surprised that it was 3:00 pm. Soon the train pulled up at Butterworth. I looked at the people all around me. They all looked beautiful. When my uncle arrived with a smile, I threw my arms around him to give him a warm hug. I had never done this before. He seemed surprised and then his weather-beaten face warmed up with a huge smile. We walked arm in arm to his car.‎ I looked forward to the return journey, by train.‎ ‎25. The author expected the train trip to be_______.‎ ‎ A. adventurous B. pleasant C. exciting D. boring ‎26.

Smiles brighten people up.‎ C The history will remember the following moments: ‎ ‎1929, when Shude Private High School was established by General Sun Zhen; ‎ - 14 -‎ ‎1953, when it was turned into a pubic school and renamed Chengdu No. 9 Middle School; ‎ ‎1989, when it resumed her original name. ‎ Though different names were employed, the motto of “loyalty, courage and persistency” has stayed and lived through all the ages. It is the very soul of Shude High School to stay loyal to her motherland, faithful in duties and science, be brave to take responsibilities, seek victories and generate new ideas, and to perform persistency in studying, working and cultivating one's morality. ‎ Shude High School has made many firsts in Sichuan province, living up to being brave to undertake creation and exploration — this is the personality of Shude, as well as her responsibility: ‎ the first to establish a school under new managing system, exploring a prestigious school assisting a less developed school, ‎ the first to bring in foreign basic course curricula,‎ the first to carry out teachers’ continuation education based on school-inside training,‎ the first in Chengdu to undertake the strategy of Expansion of Prestigious High School. ‎ As runner water traces to the source, the source of the development of Shude High School is following the scientific way. Inheriting the legacy of cultivating morality and fostering talents, Shude High School has combined in the modern education theories and formed the principle of morality cultivation and talents expansion, which practically takes shape in patient moral edification and meticulous academic cultivation. It is Shude’s ideal and mission to pursue the five first classes of faculty, teaching environment, scientific management, teaching quality and academic graduates, and to achieve high quality, collectivization, internationalization and modernization.‎ Looking back, the four scores years of Shude High School have been bearing glories and dreams. Looking forward, we deeply feel that there is still a long way to go; Shude will approach to the challenges and strive forward with keen determination.‎ ‎29.

To be fair, this observation is also frequently made of Canada and Canadians, and should best be considered North American. There are, of course, exceptions. Small-minded officials, rude waiters, and ill-mannered taxi drivers are hardly unknown in the US. Yet it is an observation made so frequently that it deserves comment.‎ For a long period of time and in many parts of the country, a traveler was a welcome break in an otherwise dull existence. Dullness and loneliness were common problems of the families who generally lived distant from one another. Strangers and travelers were welcome sources of distraction, and brought news of the outside world. The tough realities of the border also shaped this tradition of hospitality. Someone traveling alone, if hungry, injured, or ill, often had nowhere to turn except to the nearest settler agent. It was not a matter of choice for the traveler or merely a charitable impulse on the part of the settlers. It reflected the hardship of daily life: if you didn't take in the stranger and take care of him, there was no one else who would. And someday, remember, you might be in the same situation.‎ Today there are many charitable organizations which specialize in helping the exhausted traveler. Yet, the old tradition of hospitality to strangers is still very strong in the US, especially in the smaller cities and towns away from the busy tourist routes. “I was just traveling through, got talking with this American, and pretty soon he invited me home for dinner — amazing.” Such observations reported by visitors to the US are not uncommon, but are not always understood properly. The casual friendliness of many Americans should be interpreted neither as superficial nor as artificial, but as the result of a historically developed cultural tradition.‎ As is true of any developed society, in America a complex set of cultural signals and customs is the basis of all social interrelationships. And, of course, speaking a language does not necessarily mean that someone understands social and cultural patterns. Visitors who fail to “translate” cultural meanings properly often draw wrong conclusions. For example, when an American uses the word “friend”, the cultural meanings of the word may be quite different from those it has in the visitor's language and culture. It takes more than a brief encounter on a bus to tell polite customs from individual interest. Yet, being friendly is a virtue that many Americans value highly and expect from both neighbors and strangers.‎ ‎32.In the eyes of visitors from the outside world, ________.‎ ‎ A. rude taxi drivers are rarely seen in the US ‎ B. small-minded officials deserve a serious comment ‎ C. Canadians are not so friendly as their neighbors ‎ D. most Americans are ready to offer help - 14 -‎ ‎33.It could be inferred from the last paragraph that _______.‎ ‎ A. culture has an influence over social inter-relationship ‎ B. polite customs and individual interest are inter-related ‎ C. various virtues shows themselves only among friends ‎ D. social inter-relationships equal the complex set of cultural customs ‎34.Families in border settlements used to entertain strangers _______.‎ ‎ A. to improve their hard life B. in view of their long-distance travel ‎ C. to add some flavor to their own daily life D. out of a charitable impulse ‎35.The tradition of hospitality to strangers _______.‎ ‎ A. tends to be superficial and artificial B. is generally well kept up in the United States ‎ C. is always understood properly D. has something to do with the busy tourist route 第二节 阅读下列表述,若与Wonder内容相符请在机读卡对应位置将A选项涂黑,不符请涂B。(每小题1分,共10分)‎ ‎36. Mr. Browne himself made up his October precept YOUR DEEDS ARE YOUR MONUMENT.‎ ‎37. Before August went to school, his father educated him at home.‎ ‎38. In the beginning, Dad hesitated to send August to school, while Mom was firmly for the idea.‎ ‎39. Mrs. G (Garcia) was actually the one who ran the school.‎ ‎40. “Like a lamb to the slaughter” is something that you say about someone who goes somewhere calmly, ‎ knowing that something unpleasant is going to happen to them.‎ ‎41. August agreed with Summer that even if someone didn’t have a summer name, they would still let ‎ them sit at the Summer Table as long as they were nice.‎ ‎42. When Mom asked August “one to ten?”, he answered “five”, because the math teacher just taught them numbers from one to five in the class.‎ ‎43. August’s mother invited everyone in his homeroom to his birthday party, including Julian.‎ ‎44. For the Halloween costumes, August finally put on the one from last year, because otherwise he would wear the same as Julian.‎ ‎45. It was Jack Will who made August decide not to go back to school any more. ‎ 第三节 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。(每小题2分,共10分) ‎ No one really knows how and why people change as they get older. 46 Aging is a complex and varied process that varies in how it affects different people and organs. In fact, even in one person, different organ systems “age” at different rates.‎ ‎ At a certain point in our lives our body systems will begin to weaken. 47 It - 14 -‎ ‎ may become more difficult for us to see and hear. The slow change of aging causes our bodies to lose some of their ability to bounce back from disease and injury. In order to live longer, we have always tried to slow or stop this change that leads us toward the end of our lives.‎ ‎ 48 A good diet plays an important role. The amount and the type of exercise we get are another two factors. 49 But scientists studying the aging problem want to know: why do people grow old? They hope that by studying the aging medical science they may be able to make the length of life longer.‎ ‎ 50 Many consider the later part of life to be the best time for living. Physical activity may become less, but often we get better understanding of the world and ourselves.‎ ‎ What we consider the old age now may only be middle-aged some day soon. With so many advances in medical science happening so quickly, life length may one day be measured in centuries, rather than in years!‎ A.Our living condition is yet another.‎ B.Many factors decide our health.‎ C.Our strength may become weaker.‎ D.As for diet, people are advised to eat less salt and sugar.‎ E.There is nothing to be afraid of as the old age comes.‎ F.Symptoms include a lack of energy, slow reactions, insomnia and poor memory.‎ G.Also, no theory sufficiently explains all the changes of the aging process.‎ 第三部分 语言知识运用(共两节,满分30分)‎ 第一节 完型填空 (每小题1分,共20分)‎ ‎ Jenna, a popular girl from some middle school, had graduated first in her class and was ready for new 51 in Shude High School.‎ ‎ 52 , high school was different.

Sports help keep people healthy, happy and help them to live longer. Sports change with seasons. People play different games in winter and summer. Games and sports often grow out of people's work and everyday activities. The Arabs use horses or camels in much of their everyday life; they use them in their sports too. Some sports are so interesting that people everywhere go in for them. Football, for example, has spread around the world. Swimming is popular in all countries near the sea or those with many rivers. Some sports or games go back thousands of years, like running or jumping. Chinese boxing, for example, has a very long history. But basketball and volleyball are rather new. Neither is a hundred years old. People are inventing new sports or games all the time. People from different countries may not be able to understand each other, but after a game, they become good friends. Sports help to train a person's character. One learns to fight hard but fight fair, to win without pride and to lose with grace.‎ - 14 -‎
