Start the day with a visit to one of the Gold Coast’s world-class theme parks. Then see stunt (特技) shows at Warner Bros Movie World. You can also jump on exciting rides and visit the new Lego Store at Dreamworld.‎ Afternoon While the drive to Brisbane only takes an hour, enjoy a trip inland into the Gold Coast hinterland and explore the rainforest hikes and waterfalls in Tamborine, Lamington and Springbrook national parks.‎ Day 2‎ Morning Wake early to climb Brisbane’s famous Story Bridge, where you can see the sun rise over the city. From the top, you’ll be rewarded with full views over the snaking river, out to Moreton Bay in the east and the green hills of the Scenic Rim to the west.‎ Afternoon Drive 144 kilometers north to Noosa. Hastings Street is thick with designer fashion stores and impressive restaurants. Explore one of the walking trails that run through Noosa National Park. The Coastal Track is a popular choice. Look out for dolphins and whales between May ‎ and November.‎ Day3‎ Morning Continue 185 kilometers north, through the gold rush towns of Gympie and Maryborough to the whale watching capital of the world, Hervey Bay. About 10,000 humpback whales visit it every year, making it the best place to see the ocean giants up close.‎ Afternoon From River Heads, catch a 50-minute ferry to the world’s largest island completely made of sand, Fraser Island. Alternatively, continue 110 kilometers north to Bundaberg. Then travel just east of the city to Mon Repos Beach in time for the sunset.‎ ‎16.

Which is the best place to take a look at whales?‎ A. Mon Repos Beach. B. The Coastal Track.‎ C. Moreton Bay. D. Hervey Bay.‎ B The Manneken Pis is one of Brussels’ most popular tourist attractions. It has been peeing (撒尿) fresh water into a fountain in the Belgian capital since the 17th century. Now, the peeing boy has finally become environmentally friendly.‎ To everyone’s surprise, the famous statue used to waste 1,000 to 2,500 liters of drinking water a day. He peed water directly into the city’s sewers (下水道).‎ Energy engineer Regis Callens found this waste after fixing a water meter (水量计) in the statue. If his calculation is correct, then the peeing boy has wasted more than 250 million liters of water over the last 400 years.‎ As a result of this finding, a new system for delivering the water back to the naughty boy was created. Now he will no longer waste clean drinking water. Instead, he will use water recycled from a closed circuit (闭合回路). That means the water he pees out will be used again in an almost endless cycle.‎ The solution came out during the Brussels Water Week. A local official said, “We will also set up the system in schools and sports centers. We should set an example. We will encourage everyone in Brussels to pay attention to their water consumption.”‎ The Manneken Pis is a copy of the 1619 original, which is in a nearby museum. He is often dressed up in different costumes throughout the year to celebrate festivals and special events. ‎ ‎19. What wasn’t expected by the public according to the text?‎ A. The Manneken Pis was environmentally unfriendly. ‎ B. The calculation of Regis Callens was not correct.‎ C. The system was created to send water back to the boy. ‎ D. The city’s sewers were blocked because of the statue.‎ ‎20. What can we learn from the words of the local official in Paragraph 5?‎ A. The solution was useful to local people. ‎ B. Water waste will become more serious. ‎ C. Citizens are encouraged to protect the statue. ‎ D. The system will be used widely in the future.‎ ‎21. Which one can be the best title of the text?‎ A. A Popular Tourist Attraction B. A Water-saving Statue ‎ C. A Water Meter in the Statue D. A Solution to Water Waste C The beach may seem like an inviting place to run on a cool summer morning, but is running on the sand good for your body? It can be, but it’s important to be aware of the challenges that some beach runners experience before you get ready.‎ Running on the beach can be a good thing. It’s certainly different from running on a track or a pavement. For starters, sand can be a challenge because it has an uneven (不平坦的) surface. As you push off, you’re going to lose some of your push as the sand moves. So, you’re not going to be able to push yourself forward as you would on a track or a pavement. But this unevenness has an upside: It gives your body an extra workout, forcing you to exercise muscles that don’t get as much use during runs on firm surfaces. For example, your feet, ankles and lower back might feel sorer and more tired than usual after a beach run just because the surface is constantly moving and changing step to step.‎ You also might feel sore afterward because beaches tend to slope (倾斜) down to the water. If you’re going for a long run on the beach, you might notice that one side of your body might feel sorer because you’re putting more pressure on it due to the slope.‎ Some beach runners prefer to run barefoot — not wearing anything on feet. However, if you’re not used to barefoot running, start slowly and don’t run long distances at first. That’s because running barefoot uses more different muscles than running with shoes does, and it’s important to strengthen these muscles and adapt your feet. If you want to run barefoot and as long as you run carefully enough into it, go for it!‎ Running on the sand can be a smart choice for you, because running on softer ground ‎ surfaces can reduce muscle damage.‎ ‎22. Why is it difficult to run on the beach for starters?‎ A. The soft surface makes people fall over easily.‎ B. People need to run carefully on its smooth surface.‎ C. Running on its uneven surface takes much effort.‎ D. It’s hard to keep one’s balance on its hard surface.‎ ‎23. Which of the following best explains “upside” underlined in Paragraph 2?‎ A. Advantage. B. Reason. C. Character. D. Challenge.‎ ‎24. What’s the author’s attitude to barefoot running?‎ A. Critical. B. Supportive. C. Doubtful. D. Uncaring.‎ ‎25. The passage can probably be found in ______.‎ A. A primary school textbook B. A tourist guide C. A sports magazine D. A scientific report 第二节（共5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。‎ Learning a foreign language has come into fashion. __26__ I’ve chosen these reasons as they express not only learning goals, but also personal goals.‎ Learning English is fun.‎ ‎__27__ However, I think that’s just a problem of how you learn English. Take time to have fun learning English by listening to music, watching a movie, challenging yourself to play games in English. There are so many ways to learn English while having fun.

That’s a good thing. However, at a certain point we need to expand our horizons. Learning English will help you understand the world through a different language.

Learning English will help open your mind.‎ C. But it is not easy for students to learn English.‎ D. Learning English is not much fun for many students.‎ E. I am in the USA writing articles about learning English. ‎ F. Here are reasons to learn English, or any language really.‎ G.
