And there is something adventurous, exotic and romantic about visiting an island country. Take a look at the following beautiful island countries in the world, which everyone should certainly visit at least once in a lifetime.MaltaMalta is a beautiful southern European country in the Mediterranean Sea and it has a rich history and culture. There are amazing sky-high cliffs to climb, remarkable temples to explore, mysterious hidden bays, and lots of wonderful places to go diving. In fact, there are plenty of interesting things to see and to do in Malta, and this island country has something for everyone. As for the historic part, Malta has incredible architecture, great walled cities, and many underground tunnels to explore.The PhilippinesOne of the most beautiful and best island countries in the world is the Philippines. Its actually a geographically brilliant place worth visiting at any time of the year. The Philippines contain over 7,000 islands, and all of them are beautiful and unique in their own way. There are many wonderful tourist attractions including the Tubbataha Reef, Mayon Volcano, the Chocolate Hills and many more. The country also offers plenty of interesting activities for you to experience, such as diving, climbing, camping, hiking, bird watching and many others.AustraliaAustralia is an amazing continental, island country, which everyone should visit at least once in life. Its often identified as a great diverse country as it has a rich culture, fantastic wildlife, nice people, and a lot of fun and interesting things to see and to do.The MaldivesNot only is the Maldives one of the most beautiful island countries, it is also one of the most popular honeymoon destinations. Situated in the middle of the Indian Ocean, the Maldives is made up of an entire series of incredible ancient coral reefs that grew up along the sides of ancient volcanoes. There is a magnificent ocean, with fascinating beaches and luxury resorts (圣地). If you are looking for the best honeymoon destination, the Maldives will be perfect for you.21.An architect may first visit.A. MaltaB .the Philippines C. Australia D .the Maldives22.If you are wildlife activists, you will perhaps go to.A. Malta and the Philippines B. the Philippines and AustraliaC .the Maldives and Australia D. Australia and Malta23.If you are ready for a wedding trip, your first choice is likely to be.A. the PhilippinesB. Australia C. the MaldivesD. Malta24.The main purpose of the passage is to.A. tell visitors how to book in advanceB. supply visitors with the information of some island countriesC. show visitors the importance of the island countriesD. offer visitors some trip tips for these countriesBBob, a dad, faces a problem. His 8-year-old daughter, Rachel, played soccer for one season, and now wants to drop out (退出). She says its no fun for her because shes not as experienced as the other girls.Bob wonders if he should insist Rachel give soccer another try. Bob sees sports as a great opportunity for his daughter to spend some social time with other girls.Insisting that Rachel play another season of soccer isnt a good idea. If kids play simply because their parents want them to play, theyre engaging in Other- Motivated sports activities instead, parents need to make sure that kids are willing to play because they want to take part in sports.Parents can do this by making soccer or basketball fun. For example, Bob could play soccer with Rachel and her friends. Rachel may get more enjoyment from soccer if she takes part in sports. In addition, parents should talk to their children when the kids are concerned about not being as good as the other players. In this case, Rachel seems to want to be one of the better players on the team. Bob might encourage Rachel to pay more attention to the fun, and tell her making mistakes is all a part of learning.Kids often stop playing a game after making a mistake. Again, its important for parents of these children to ensure theyre not forcing the kids to perform well. Moms and dads need to tell kids theyre not expected to be perfect, which will instead increase a childs desire to be “perfect”or the “best” on the team.25. Rachel lost interest in soccer because .A .she didnt want to be a player in the futureB. she disliked her fathers training methodC .she felt that she performed worse than othersD .other girls had persuaded her to drop out26. Why did Bob encourage Rachel to play sports?A. To improve her health condition.B. To ensure some social activities with others.C. To develop her athletic ability.D. To make her used to failures in sports.27. If children do Other-Motivated sports, it means that . A .they play sports just to satisfy others B. they want to do other enjoyable sportsC .its a bad idea to let children do sports early D .its natural that they hope for a better sport28. The author holds the opinion that . A. what matters is to be happy in the activityB. children should try not to make mistakes C. parents should help children avoid mistakes D. children always need to be expected too muchC March 21 has been declared World Sleep Day, a time to recognize and celebrate the value of sleep. Many sleep experts hope it will be a wake-up call.According to a xx poll (民意调查) by the National Sleep Foundation, nearly 4 in 5 Americans dont get as much sleep as they should during the workweek. On average, adults are thought to need at least eight hours of sleep a night, although some can manage with less and some wont do well without more. But the survey found that, on workdays, only 21% of Americans actually get a full eight hours of sleep, and another 21% get less than six.To many of us, the thought of spending more time sleeping is, well, a big yawn.(哈欠) On the other hand, the thought of being smarter, thinner, healthier and more cheerful has a certain appeal. And those are just a few of the advantages that can be ours if we consistently get enough sleep, researchers say. Also on the plus side: Were likely to have better skin, better memories, better judgment, and, oh, yes, longer lives.“When you lose even one hour of sleep for any reason, it influences your performance the next day,” says Dr. Alon Avidan, director of the UCLA Sleep Disorders Center.A study published last year found the same to be true even of children. When kids aged 8 to 12 slept for just one hour less for four nights, they didnt function as well during the day.But sleeping has an image problem.“We see napping or sleeping as lazy,” says Jennifer Vriend, a clinical psychologist in Ottawa, Canada, and the leading author of the study with children. “We put so much emphasis on diet, nutrition and exercise. is in the back seat.” In fact, she adds, no matter how much we work out, no matter how well we eat, we cant be in top physical shape unless we also get plenty of sleep.29.The underlined part in Paragraph 1 means.A. to wake up the sleepersB. to draw peoples attentionC. to serve as a morning callD. to declare the special day30. From Paragraph 3 we can infer that.A. being healthier is one of the advantages for usB. sleeping has nothing to do with ones expectationsC. enough sleep is the guarantee of the appealing thingsD. spending more time on sleeping is a waste of time31. What Jennifer Vriend said in the last paragraph implies that.A. people care little about sleeping B. sleeping is an image problemC. lazy people tend to sleep longD. sleeping is only part of our life32. What is the purpose of the passage?A. To talk about peoples sleeping problems.B. To provide an investigation result of sleeping.C. To stress the function of sleeping at night.D. To arouse the awareness of enough sleeping.DIn 1990, 22-year-old Christopher McCandless gave up his career plans, left behind everyone he knew, donated all his savings to charity ,and went off on an adventure, hiking his way through America to Alaska.Of course , this is an unusual story. Most college graduates would not do so .However , studies show that in teenage years, people are more likely to try out new experiences. For example, instead of working his way up the same organization like his grandfather did, a 15-year-old boy may dream about being a traveller only to find in his early 20s that this attraction of new places is fading (消退) and change is less attractive.The reason why people bee less keen(热衷于) to change as they get older may be that people generally have similar life patterns and demands. Most people aim to find a job and a partner. As they get older, they may have young children and elderly family members to look after. These responsibilities cannot be achieved without some degree of steadiness, which means that new experiences and ideas may not have a place in the persons life. New experiences may bring excitement as well as insecurity , and so most people prefer to stay with the familiar.However, not every individual is the same. A child may want to play a different game every day and get fed up if nothing changes at the kindergarten. Another may play with the same children and toys on every visit. Young children who avoid new experiences will grow up to be more traditional than others. Psychologist argue that those who have more open personalities as children are more open than others might be when they are older and that young men have a greater interest in novelty than women, although as they age , this desire for new experiences fades more quickly than it does in women.33. The first paragraph serves as a(n).A. introductionB. explanation C. ment D. background34.What does the author think is the key factor that prevents people trying out new experiences?A. Age. B. Partner. C. Responsibility. D. Education.35. The underlined phrase “interest in novelty” most probably means.A. independence B. curiosity C .security D. excitement 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The importance of munication cannot be denied. Using effective munication skills is important to relationships and to success at work.36 Here are a few:Prevent misunderstanding .When you clearly municate your wants, your needs, and your intentions, there will be no misunderstanding. Many of our arguments and disagreements occur simply because one of us did not municate clearly. Another example of the importance of munication can be seen in the medical field. When a doctor tells a patient his diagnosis(诊断)and gives instructions for care and medicine, it is critical(关键的) that the patient understands exactly what the doctor intends to municate.37Strengthen relationships. We get to know each other (either in business or personally)by talking and listening. 38 People like people they know. In business, the more personable business person, who showed an interest in his customer, wins the sale-every time-over the business person who is aloof(冷淡的)and shows no interest in the customer!39 Talking about your problems and stresses actually helps to relieve the stress and anxiety. You feel as if some of the burden has been lifted from you when a friend listens and shows that she cares.The importance of munication skills bees obvious when you think of the many times that you municate with someone during a single day.40A. Taking the time to improve our interpersonal skills is definitely worth the effort!B. There are a number of reasons that munication is so important to us.C .When you municate well, people respond positively to you.D. Knowing more about someone strengthens that relationship.E. Otherwise, serious results could occur!F . Increase confidence.G .Relieve stress.第三部分：英语知识运用 （满分45分）.第一节 完形填空 （共20 小题，每小题1.5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。As waiters, we deal with customers every day and when something goes wrong, somehow we have the ability to keep on going.
