It’s a long journey and the main stop is in Israel.‎ The Great White Pelican is a huge bird. It’s the largest bird in the world to make such a long journey. Its diet is mainly fish and it eats about 1. 4 kilos each day.‎ The pelicans love to gather in large numbers. Until recent years, there were plenty of water supplies in Israel. Frequently, the pelicans arrive in Israel tired. They cannot continue their long journey until they have rested. However, for a variety of reasons, these water supplies have dried up and the pelicans have had to find other food sources.‎ Fish farming has become big business in Israel. As you may imagine, a fish farm is something pelicans could usually only dream of! In the summer months when the Great White Pelicans passed through, Israel’s fish farmers began to lose tons of fish. Some farms were even forced to close their business. Something had to be done.‎ The Israel Ministry of Agriculture considered the problem carefully. How could it stop 75,000 huge pelicans from arriving in Israel? It decided this was not possible. It chose a place with a plentiful supply of water, and provided money for local farmers to buy food, which they fed to the pelicans. The pelicans soon understood this and now arrive at the place to feed and rest. They no longer have to rely on the fish farms for food.‎ It’s a solution that seems to have worked. At one point, it looked as if the Ministry would stop the money. One criticism was that with so much food, the pelicans would never leave and would become even more expensive. However, there was such outcry from environmentalists and farmers that the money remains.‎ Perhaps their large numbers in Israel will attract birdwatchers from all over the world to visit the amazing sight, and tourism can bring new income to the country.‎ 28. What can we learn about Great White Pelicans?‎ A. They are loners.‎ B. They winter in Israel.‎ C. They are good at long-distance flying.‎ D. They reduce their intake during their journey.‎ ‎29. What problem did the fish farmers face?‎ A. The pelicans damaged the local environment.‎ B. Their farms were closed by the government.‎ C. The water supplies were not enough.‎ D. They suffered a heavy loss of fish.‎ ‎30. What measures did the government take? .‎ A. They prevented the pelicans stopping in Israel.‎ B. They encouraged farmers to develop tourism.‎ C. They gave farmers money to farm more fish.‎ D. They found a new place for the pelicans.‎ ‎31.What is the author’s attitude to the pelicans in Israel?‎ A. Optimistic. B. Unclear. C. Doubtful. D. Unconcerned.‎ D No one can deny that LeBron James gets paid a lot of money—but no one can deny that he hasn’t earned it either. He’s broken the records of greats like Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson. He’s a talent．‎ Professional athletes like LeBron give their lives to their sport to—training, traveling, and pushing themselves to the limit. And while their lives may seem glamorous, think about this: ‎ Athletes face injuries that can be not only career-ending but also life-changing. In fact, many retired athletes have long-term health problems because of how hard they push on their bodies. Retired New York Jets player Wesley Walker said that he suffered so much pain as a result of playing football that today he can hardly open a water bottle.‎ The toll (代价）a professional athlete’s career takes on his or her body means more than a lifetime of pain (and medical bills); it also means a short career. Athletes need pay that will carry them past the 5 to 15 years they are able to play.‎ Without the show stopping performances of stars like Serena Williams and Stephen Curry, many jobs wouldn’t exist. Sports reporters, stadium workers, cheerleaders, and coaches are among those who can thank the professional sports industry for their employment. ‎ It may seem unfair that athletes get paid to play a game, but remember who they are really playing for—us. We’re the ones who fill stadiums in rain and snow to watch their games, who crowd around the television to cheer them on, and who feel immeasurable joy when our team wins.‎ The work of professional athletes certainly pays off for us. Shouldn’t it pay off for them too?‎ ‎32. What does the underlined word “glamorous” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?‎ A. Difficult. B. Tiresome. C. Attractive. D. Organized.‎ ‎33. Which of the following may the author agree with?‎ A. Professional athletes have no idea about their limits.‎ B. Injuries are a problem for professional athletes.‎ C. Retired professional athletes are badly treated.‎ D. Professional athletes’ careers are short.‎ ‎34. What is the author’s attitude to athletes’ high salaries?‎ A. Doubtful. B. Surprised. C. Supportive. D. Unconcerned.‎ ‎35. What is the best title for the text?‎ A. The most impressive athletes B. You can’t put a price on talent C. You shouldn’t push athletes hard D. Salaries in the professional sports industry 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人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ What does it really mean to be successful?‎ ‎____36___ . It is about being able to live a happy life.‎ If you want to have a successful life, here are three things you need to focus on.‎ ‎● Believe in yourself If you don’t believe in yourself, how do you expect other people to? When you believe in yourself, it fuels (促进）your creativity and your motivation (动力）to do things. All successful people from Gandhi to Tesla believed in themselves. ____37___. We all have to trust that we have the ability to turn the impossible into the possible.‎ ‎● Know your intention ‎____38___ , it is important to have an understanding of your intention. If your intention is simply rooted in money and fame, you are never going to truly feel successful. Money and fame only serve the ego (自负）and don’t provide true feelings of success. For a truly successful life, your intention has to be rooted in your purpose and passions (热情）. When your intention is to serve your purpose, make a change in the world and express your talents, you will feel true success and satisfaction.‎ ‎● ___39__.‎ Success is all around you right now. Stop to take a moment and you’ll notice the amazing success that is already present in your life. ___40___. Being thankful for the tiniest successes in life will help you to create more and more success.‎ A. Realize you are already successful B. Discover the true meaning of success C. This is what gave them the drive to succeed D. If you want to create a good living condition E. When it comes to achieving greatness in this life F. That is when you will start to feel truly successful G. Success is so much more than just money or fame ‎ 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l. 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。‎ Heather West, 27, left "disabled" by a rare brain disease 15 months ago, plans to do a three-mile charity walk to encourage other patients. ‎ ‎     Miss West fell ill with the flu in 2008.
