beaches every year.Today,we are going to explore some of this years top 10 beaches in the world.1.Baia do Sancho,BrazilIt is named as this years best beach in the world.Its water is calm and clear.Its sand is fine and soft.But getting to Baia do Sancho is not so easy.It is on Fernando de Noronha,a volcanic island more than 300 kilometers off Brazils coast.Travelers must take a plane or boat from major cities in northern Brazil to get there.And no more than 420 visitors can be on the island at one time.2.Grace Bay,Turks and CaicosWhile Baia do Sancho is difficult to get to,TripAdvisors second-ranked beach could not be much easier for tourists to reach.This beach has impossibly clean and clear waters and pure white sand.Its calm waters make it extremely safe for swimming,snorkeling,or simply floating.Once on land,many visitors enjoy walking barefoot for several kilometers on the soft,warm sand.3.Eagle Beach,ArubaTo get to the third-best beach,we head south to the Dutch Caribbean island of Aruba.Like Grace Bay,Eagle Beach has clear,calm waters and soft white sand.It offers visitors a chance to try different water sports,including tubing and jet skiing.Eagle Beach may be best known,however,for its dramatic sunsets.On clear nights,the sky turns red,orange,and purple.4.Playa Paraiso,CubaThe fourth-best beach is Playa Paraiso,an island off Cubas southern coast.It has a fun,laid-back restaurant for those who wish to eat and drink.There is little else on the beach.And that is exactly what visitors like about it.People come here for the sugar-like sand and calm waters filled with colorful wildlife.21.Which of the following is true about Baia do Sancho?A.It receives thousands of visitors each time.B.It can only be visited by plane.C.It is near the Brazils coast.D.It is hard to reach.22.Where can visitors go if they want to enjoy the beauty of the sinking sun?A.Baia do Sancho,Brazil.B.Grace Bay,Turks and Caicos.C.Eagle Beach,Aruba.D.Playa Paraiso,Cuba.23.What can visitors mainly do on Playa Paraiso,Cuba?A.Go boating.B.Have a relaxing dinner.C.Admire colorful sand.D.Try different water sports.BWhen I was a boy there were no smart phones,and our television only got one channel clearly.Still,I was never bored.The fields,hills,and woodlands around my home were the perfect playground.I can remember once hiking to a nearby lake.At the backside of it I was amazed to find an old dirt road that I had never seen before.It was full of muddy tracks and deep woods bordered it on both sides,but exploring it seemed like a fine adventure.I walked on and on for hours.I was sure my guardian angel was whispering in my ear “Turn around and head back home,” but I was stubborn,so I walked on.There was still neither a car nor a house in sight.I noticed that the sun was starting to go down and I grew scared.I didnt want to end up trapped on this road,and I was worried that it would be dark before I could make my way back to the lake again.I continued to walk on with something growing inside of me.My heart was pounding and my legs were aching.I was almost in tears when I turned one last curve and saw something in the distance.It was a house that I recognized.I jumped up and down and laughed out loud.It was still over a mile away but my legs felt like feathers and I hurried back to my house in no time.I walked in with a big smile on my face just in time for dinner.I remembered this recently when I saw a sign that said “All roads lead home”.It is true.In life,all roads,no matter how they twist and turn,can lead us home again.What is important,though,is how we travel them.Are we going to go forth in fear or are we going to go forth in faith?Are we going to make this life a terrible trip or are we going to make this life a joyful journey?The choice is ours.24.Why did the author hardly feel bored when he was young?A.Because he could have fun in nature.B.Because he could watch TV all day.C.Because he had many friends.D.Because he used to explore the old dirt road.25.How did the author feel when he was exploring the dirt road?A.He thought he would be scolded by his parents.B.He felt contradictory in mind.C.He thought he would be trapped in the woods.D.He was unconscious.26.What does “something” probably mean in Paragraph 3?A.Doubt.B.Hope.C.Courage.D.Fear.27.What does the author mainly intend to tell us?A.Always make choices on our own.B.All roads lead home.C.Its our attitude that matters in our life.D.Every effort is worthwhile.CPollutions serious effects on the environment have become more obvious in recent years.Most scientists agree that efforts are necessary to protect our environment from further harm.As we know,the construction industry consumes a large quantity of energy and resources and creates a huge amount of pollution.So green buildings are in great need.The environmental benefits of green buildings include the protection of ecosystems and biodiversity (生物多样性),improved air and water quality,less waste flowing into streams and the protection of natural resources.Green buildings can also result in lower operating costs because they typically use less energy and fewer materials and improve indoor air quality,improving the health of people who live there.The process of building green houses includes technical and artistic planning with nature protection in mind.Building designs often reflect the surrounding environment and natural resources and use renewable building materials such as bamboo and straw.In addition,recycled resources found locally are used for green buildings,reducing the cost and air pollution associated with transporting materials long distances.Careful site selection is important to minimize (使减少到最低限度) human effects on the surrounding environment.For example,placing a structure in an area that allows it to take advantage of cool breezes (微风) and sunlight can reduce energy use and expenses.More energy and expenses are needed for larger buildings as well,so it is important to build the small ones.Green roofs are another feature of green houses that reduce energy use and costs.These roofs are partially or completely covered with plants,which helps to keep heating and cooling costs low,prevent water running off and deal with pollutants.Other features of green buildings often include energy and water protection,recycling and waste reduction.In addition,renewable energy sources such as solar power,water power and wind power are used for heat and electricity,which greatly reduces costs and decreases the influence on the environment.28.What can we know about green buildings?A.Producing no waste.B.Only using clean energy.C.Being made of new materials.D.Being environment-friendly.29.What is a green building probably like according to the fifth paragraph?A.Large.B.Small.C.Green.D.Low.30.What is the purpose of using green roofs?A.To fit the environment.B.To keep warm.C.To collect nature water.D.To reduce costs.31.What is the text mainly about?A.Promoting energy efficiency.B.Environmental benefits.C.Green buildings.D.Ecosystems and biodiversity.D “Clothes Swapping” is an activity which has become increasingly popular among American women.At a clothes swap event the women can give away unwanted clothing and get something different in return.Recently about 300 women went to a clothes swap at a high school in Springfield,Virginia.It was the largest crowd ever for the areas popular clothing-swapping group.Daphne Steinberg was having a good day.“For anyone who knows Ann Taylor LOFT,Ann Taylor is really a good womens designer and I will totally wear this to work.So I love that,and I love that I can equip myself for work,have a good time in doing it,and not totally bankrupt (使破产)myself.”Sandy Van Dusen likes the idea that clothes are finding new homes instead of being thrown away.“Because it helps to keep the Earth green.Theres no point in my opinion in continuing to buy new clothes when we can reuse what are already here.Give them a new home let somebody else love what you used to love and no longer love.”Kim Pratt organized the clothes swap event in Springfield.She also organized a money-raising activity for the high schools debate team.It is one of several ways that her group gives to charitable causes.Another is by donating all of the “unswapped” clothing to shelters for victims of domestic violence.“I started doing this four years ago,and weve been doing it for four years,getting bigger and bigger each time we have a swap.”She used the social media website to help publicize the events.The website has helped her group grow from 30 members to 1,300.Ms.Pratt says most of the members respect the clothing swap rules.But she says competition for desirable fashion can be strong.“We have to tell people sometimes not to hover (徘徊) over the new people coming in with their clothing.As they put it out,some people tend to grab the stuff right out of their hands and it becomes like a free-for-all.We try to avoid that as much as possible.”32.Women can at a clothes swap.A.exchange unwanted clothing for something differentB.buy whatever clothing they likeC.have a social gathering and make friendsD.make some money by giving away unwanted clothing33.We can learn from what Daphne Steinberg said that .A.she had been to a clothes swap for the first timeB.she experienced the largest clothes swap ever in the areaC.she got some clothes she liked at the clothes swapD.she saved much more money than she had expected34.What is Paragraph 5 mainly about?A.What Kim Pratt did with the unswapped clothing.B.How Kim Pratt started the clothes swap event.C.What Kim Pratt did to help people in need.D.How Kim Pratt raised money to help charitable causes.35.It can be inferred from the last paragraph that .A.clothes swaps are often out of control in the endB.inappropriate behavior at clothes swaps needs to be controlledC.clothes swapping is becoming increasingly popular with American womenD.more clothes swap events need to be organized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入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Shortness of breath has many different causes,and the treatment of it is specific for each cause.36 There are,however,some following first-aid steps you can use to treat it,at least until the ambulance arrives or youre able to get the victim to a hospital.37 The more energy you spend,the more oxygen you use and the more short of breath you feel.Think about a good workout at the gym.Exercise hard enough and you will feel short of breath.The cure?Take a break.Let the victim sit,stand or lie wheres the most comfortable.Therere lots of myths about how some body positions supposedly provide more airflow.Coaches regularly tell players to hold their arms above their heads to maximize chest expansion.Nursing staff assume the “tripod position” is the best position.38Use oxygen.This is a special case used only for people with chronic lung problems.If the victim has oxygen available,this is what its for.39 The victim may have been told by his or her doctor that too much oxygen for too long might cause more problems.Assure the victim that sudden increases in shortness of breath are the instances in which oxygen is needed most.Treat the cause of shortness of breath.40 Asthma patients,for example,often have multiple tools and drugs to fix sudden shortness of breath.Victims of lung infections may need to see a doctor and heart attack victims may need an ambulance.A.Have the victim rest.B.Take more exercise at the gym.C.The victim should use his or her oxygen as directed by a doctor.D.Therere many causes of shortness of breath and many of them are treatable.E.The victim can try to avoid making use of his or her oxygen whenever possible.F.Every person is different,however,so let the victim decide what position is the most comfortable.G.In many cases,the only way to treat shortness of breath is to call 911 or take the victim to a doctor.第三部分语言知识运用(共两节,满分45分)第一节(共20小题;每题1.5分,满分30分)阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。I worried about my personal image and how I could be remembered during my boyhood.In
