Australia is the largest island in the world. It is a little smaller than China. It is in the south of the earth. Australia is big, but its population is not large. The population of Australia is nearly as large as that of Shanghai.The government has made enough laws to fight pollution. 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. There we saw a large number of wild flowers we had never seen before. 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. What we saw made us pick up all our things and run back to the car as quickly as we could. There were about three hundred sheep coming towards us down the path.Australia is famous for its sheep and kangaroos. After a short drive from any town, you will find yourself in the middle of white sheep. Sheep, sheep, everywhere are sheep.16 Australia is _A the largest country in the worldB as large as ShanghaiC not as large as ChinaD the largest island in the north of the earth17.

Fear- producingTV and computer games are leading to a serious disconnect between kids and thegreat outdoors, which will change the wild places of the world, its creatures andhuman health for the worse, unless adults get working on childs play.Each of us has a place in nature we go sometimes, even if it was torn down. Wecannot be the last generation to have that place. At this rate, kids who miss thesense of wonder outdoors will not grow up to be protectors of natural landscapes.“If the decline in parks use continues across NorthAmerica, who will defendparks against encroachment (蚕食 ) ？” asks Richard Louv, author ofLastChildinthe Woods.Without having a nature experience, kids can turn out just fine, but they aremissing out a huge enrichment of their lives. That applies to everything fromtheir physical health and mental health, to stress levels, creativity andcognitive (认知的 ) skills. Experts predict modern kids will have poorer healththan their parents and they say a lack of outside play is surely part of it;research suggests that kids do better academically in schools with a naturecomponent and that play in nature fosters (培养 ) leadership by the smartest, notby the toughest. Even a tiny outdoor experience can create wonder in a child. Thethree-year-old turning over his first rock realizes he is not alone in the world.A clump of trees on the roadside can be the whole universe in his eyes. We reallyneed to value that more.Kids are not to blame. They are over- protected and frightened. It is dangerousout there from time to time, but repetitive stress from computers is replacingbreaking an arm as a childhood rite (仪式 ) of passage.Everyone, from developers to schools and outdoorsy citizens, should helpregain for our kids some of the freedom and joy of exploring, taking friendship infields and woods that cement (增强 ) love, respect and need for landscape. Asparents, we should devote some of our energies to taking our kids into nature.This could yet be our greatest cause.21 The main idea of Paragraph 2 is that _.A kids are missing the sense of wonder outdoorsB parks are in danger of being gradually encroachedC Richard Louv is the author ofLast Childinthe WoodsD children are expected to develop into protectors of nature322 According to the passage, children without experiencing nature will_A keep a high sense of wonderB be over - protected by their parentsC be less healthy both physically and mentallyD change wild places and creatures for the better23 According to the author, childrens breaking an arm is _A the fault on the part of their parentsB the natural experience in their growing upC the result of their own carelessness in playD the effect of their repetitive stress from computers24 What does“ sea of technology” mean in the first paragraph?A The technology of TV and computer games.B The technology of food.C The technology of sea food.D The technology of catching animals in the sea.25 In writing this passage, the author mainly intends to _.A blame children for getting lost in computer gamesB encourage children to protect parks from encroachmentC show his concern about childrens lack of experience in nature D inspire children to keep the sense of wonder about things around4 作 ( 十五 ) . 来自教 家庭的“我”，一直以来在学 上出 拔萃，遥遥 先，并引以 豪， 心学 、打 所有的 手一直是“我”的目 ，考 前的几分 “我”都在拼命地学 ，和坐在后排的那位女孩的一次 使“我”的心 有所改 。1 B 境 ：当你出生自父母都是老 的家庭， 一切都会很自然(natural)。 awesome令人敬畏的，可怕的，极好的； unfortunate 不幸的，令人 憾的； compulsory 制的，必 做的。2 A 前面的high academic standards， 合下文的dislike losing，可以看出， 里指的是：作者在学 上水平 高， 争(competitive)精神 ，所以，他不 不喜 失 ，而且也无法忍受失 。conservative保守的，守旧的；primitive原始的； subjective主 的。3 D 境 上一 。作者无法忍受(stand) 个情况。 swear 咒 ， 咒；recommend推荐； tease 取笑， 弄。4 B 境 ：“我”的学 达到如此 秀的水平，以至于通 我的考 成 (grade) 就能看出“我”是多么 秀。第6 空前有原 复 ，下文的full marks中也有暗示。5 Coutstanding杰出的， 秀的。 境 上一 。handsome英俊的； interesting有趣的； modest 虚的， 的。6 B前文告 我 ，作者一直要做最好的学生(I am a straight-A student and havebeen my whole life)，一直在打 最好的学生(need to beat the top students)，并且无法忍受 ( 考 中的 ) 失 ，所以 里的意思是：如果“我”考 的分数没达到所期待(expect)的分数，“我”就 了。steal 盗； deserve 得， 得； allocate ，分配 。7 C由下文 作者在 中的表 I smiled， and agreed可以看出，作者在整个 程中是很有礼貌的。 attentively 注意地， 心地； bitterly 悲痛地； politely 礼貌地； deliberately 故意，蓄意，存心。8 A 里指的是两个人在 行的 ，所以 conversation。句意 ：当“我” 在 程中需要“我”作出反 的 候，我就会( 不失 机地 ) 微笑、点 、表示同意9 A 里有三个并列的 作：smile ， agree 有空格，四个 中只有 nod“点 ”，表示作者同意他同学的看法。10 A 境 ：作者希望他同学安静下来(quiet)，他能好好学 。11 A上一段 方 自己在 次 中的表 的 价，从good，以及 so easy to talkto 来看，很 然是“表 ”，所以 praise 。 blame ； rudeness粗 ； flattery奉承。 D 有很大的干 性，但是下文的But inside, I knew it wasnt true.告 我 ， 方是 自内心的 。12 C 境 ：作者的同学努力在和他 ，而他却只是在 付，期待 方安静下来， 不参与 (participate)。13 D focus on 关注， 注。前文告 我 ，“我”一直致力于成 学 上最棒的学生，所以 里表达的意思是：“我”太 注于成 秀学生以至于“我”都 得不正常了。bring on引起， 致；depend on依靠，相信，信 ；carry on 下去， 开展。14 C和女同学比 了一下，作者 于 了，他所 有的不 是学 上的成功(success) 和自我 ( 即自己在交 的 程中所表 出来的自私) 。 appetite食欲，胃口；anxiety担 ，焦 ； feeling感受。15 D作者 他没有足 的(enough) 同情心，即和女孩相比，女孩所具有的同情心。.
