There are so many summer camps and not all of them are the same. To choose which camp is best for you, first you must do a bit of research.Maybe youve never thought about it before, but every great summer camp has the same main goals-opportunity, challenge and growth.Opportunity means you are given a chance to do something special. It also makes you special because other kids dont have the same opportunity. For example, if you are interested in writing, then you can choose to join a journalism(新闻工作) camp. You may have the opportunity of meeting famous journalists there.Challenge means you are given a task. You must finish the task and succeed in overcoming the challenge. Then you will have a sense of accomplishment(成就). For example, you could take a lifeguard(救生员) course at some summer camps. If you pass the exam, then you will receive a certificate(证书) to become a real lifeguard.This also leads to the third and most important goal of every great summer camp-personal growth. It doesnt mean growing taller and stronger or more beautiful. It means seeing yourself improve, learning something new and doing something you didnt know or believe you could do before. It also means becoming more confident in yourself.So in the future when choosing your next summer camp, remember to ask yourself: is it a special opportunity? Is it challenge? Will I grow?But what about friendship, fun and joy? These will all happen naturally when you have the right goals at summer camps!21. Which is the writers opinion?A. All the summer camps are the sameB. Summer camps help you understand your researchC. All great summer camps have the same main goalsD. There are too many summer camps nowadays22. What is the most important thing for a child to learn from camps?A. He knows how to take opportunitiesB. He gets to learn new life-saving skillsC. He will grow taller and strongerD. He can improve and become more confident23. What does the last paragraph tell us?A. Its hard to make real friends at summer campsB. With the right goals, you can have fun while learning at campC. You cant have fun if you do not have other goalsD. Summer camps are all about how to have funBWhen you are traveling in Thailand，which means of transport is the best choice?You can rent a variety of motorbikes or bikes in Thailand.It seems to be very popular in most of the beaches and islands along the places in the north.The most popular bikes are the little 125 cc Honda Dream which you can get for about 150 baht(铢) a day or as little as 3,000 baht per month，making it the cheapest way to tour Thailand for the people from other countries.Sometimes you will have to go somewhere by taxi.When you are in cities in Thailand，especially in Bangkok，always remember to get a taxi that is going on the roads.Some drivers outside hotels refuse to use the milometer(计程表)They will ask a price which is several times the price when they use the meter!The quality of the roads in Thailand is generally pretty good，so renting cars is another way to get around.The big car rental companies may offer you slightly older cars at a very reasonable(合理的) price.It is a little surprising considering that the cost of buying a car in Thailand is more than that in the West.Petrol is also reasonably priced in Thailand，more expensive than American prices，but much cheaper than what is paid in Europe.In the past，Bangkok could be a difficult place to drive insigns were generally in Thai only，making it a hard job to find exactly where you were by looking around.But now，the situation is improved.In a lot of places，even the farthest corners of the country，street signs are in both Thai and English.24To a foreigner，the cheapest way to get around Thailand is renting a .Acar Btaxi Cbike Dmotorbike25What is the writers advice about taking a taxi in Thailand?ATo take a taxi driving on the road.BTo take a taxi parked outside hotels.CTo make sure there is a meter in it.DTo bargain with the driver over the price.26It was difficult to drive in Bangkok in the past because .Athere were too many traffic jams on the roadsBthere were no signs showing directionsCthe signs were written only in their own languageDthe quality of the roads was not good27Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?ARenting a car to get around Thailand is very expensive.BTourists can only rent a motorbike in the beaches and islands.CThe price of petrol in Thailand is lower than that in Europe.DCars in Thailand are cheaper than those in the West.CIn the United States，most children begin attending school when they are five years old. Public education is free and most children go to school near their homes.School in these early years is fun.Children learn to read and write.And they also play games and go on trips.There is no reason at such an early age for them to hit the books.The situation changes as children become older.The subjects become more difficult.Students must learn about world history，algebra(代数)，and the life sciences.Tests become more common.Pressure is growing to hit the books，study hard，and advance.However，most serious students only really begin hitting the books for long hours when they reach high school.High school students who hope to continue their education at a college or university must take a special national test called the SAT.The test has two parts.The first part tests the students ability with numbers and mathematical skills.The second part tests the students ability in the English language.The SAT test is very important.A high school student who gets a high score on the two parts of the test has a good chance to enter a top American college.For this reason，many students hit the books for months to prepare for the SAT.28From the test，we can see “hitting the books” means _.Aworking hard for the futureBstudying a subject carefullyCreading books in a hurryDreading books with great effort29Which of the following statements can best express the main idea of the text?AThe SAT is the most important test for the students who want to go to college.BEducation is not easy in the United States.C“Hitting the books” is very important for the students who want to have a bright futureDThe more you want to learn，the more tests you have to pass.30American children need _ if they want to study in public school.Awork hard at their lessonsBnot pay for the educationChit the booksDtake many tests31Which of the following is NOT true according to the text?AIn America the students have to pass certain tests to continue their education.BYoung children neednt work hard at their lessons because education is free.CThose who fail in the SAT cannot go to college.DThe students must spend a lot of time preparing for the SAT.DHave you ever been to the beautiful country of Holland(荷兰) and its capital Amsterdam?Anyone who has travelled to Amsterdam would probably agree on one thing: Amsterdams story is a tale of two cities - one during the day and a completely different one at night. When the sun is up, the largest city in the Netherlands sits quietly on the Amstel River. You can rent a bicycle, visit the Van Gogh or Anne Frank museum, or take a water taxi.But when the sun goes down, the party begins. In the big clubs and in coffee shops, tourists gather to hang out, talk about politics and smoke.Several areas of the city clearly show the two worlds that rule Amsterdam. And theyre all within a short cab ride of each other. For example, Dam Square attracts daytime sightseers to its festivals, open markets, concerts and other events. Several beautiful and very popular hotels can be found there. And theres the Royal Palace and the Magna Plaza shopping mall.But at night party-seekers come to the square. Hip hop or funk music is heard there. So if you come, be ready to dance. The clubs dont shut down until 4 am. And while youre there, check out the various inexpensive ways to tour the city. Dont worry about getting lost. Although Dutch is the official language, most people in Amsterdam speak English and are happy to help you with directions.And youll notice that half the people in the streets are on bicycles they rent .Amsterdam also has a well-planned canal system. For about 10 dollars, you can use the canal bus or water taxi to cruisi(巡游)the “Venice of the North.” The city has a historic past. One impressive (影响深刻的)place to visit is the Anne Frank House on Nine Streets. It was there that the young Jewish girl wrote her famous diary during World War II. Visitors can view Annes original diary and climb behind the bookcase to the room where she and her family hid from the Nazis for two years.32. What means of transport is not available to visitors in Amserdam?A. A carriage B. A bike C. A canal bus D. A water taxi33.What can you learn by visiting the Anne Frank House?A. The wonderful past of Amerserdam.B. The experience of a beautiful girl survivor.C. The life of Jewish during World War II.D. The suffering of the Dutch(荷兰人) in wars.34. The passage is intended to _.A. call up peoples memories of World War II.B. tell readers what A Tale o TwoCities is about.C. instruct visitors what to do and see in Holland.D. offer readers some information about Amsterdam.35. This passage is most likely taken from _.A. a private diary B. a test paper C. a travel journey D. a history book第二节 阅读理解七选五 (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。Do you know Australia？Australia is the largest island in the world.It is a little smaller than China.It is in the south of the earth. 36 The population of Australia is nearly as large as that of Shanghai. 37 The cities in Australia have got little air or water pollution.The sky is blue and the water is clean.You can clearly see fish swimming in the rivers.Plants grow very well.Last month we visited Perth，the biggest city in Western Australia，and went to a wild flowers exhibition. 38 We had a wonderful time.Perth is famous for its beautiful wild flowers.In spring every year Perth has the wild flowers exhibition.After visiting Perth，we spent the day in the countryside.We sat down and had a rest near a path at the foot of a hill.It was quiet and we enjoyed ourselves.Suddenly we heard bells ringing at the top of the hill. 39 There were about three hundred sheep coming towards us down the path. 40 After a short drive from any town，you will find yourself in the middle of white sheep，sheep，sheep，everywhere are sheep.AAustralia is big，but its population is not large.BAustralia is the sixth largest country in the world.CWhat we saw made us pick up all our things and ran back to the car as quickly as we could.DThe government has made enough laws to fight pollution.EAustralia is famous for its sheep and kangaroos.FThere we saw a large number of wild flowers we had never seen before.GThe people of Australia are very hardworking.第三部分 英语知识运用 （共三节，满分 40 分）第一节 完形填空 （共 20 小题，每小题 1分，满分 20 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。Making friends is a skill.
