To meet the need, Trip Advisor publishes a list of the worlds best beaches.Baia do Sancho, BrazilIts water is calm and clear. Its sand is fine and soft. But getting to Baia do Sancho is not 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. Getting there involves walking along steep, rocky cliffs and then climbing down a ladder (梯子).Grace Bay, Turks and CaicosWhile Baia do Sancho is difficult to get to, Trip Advisors second-ranked beach could not be much easier for tourists to reach. Travelers to the islands often choose to stay at oceanfront hotels right next to Grace Bay. This beach has impossibly clean and clear waters and pure white sand. Its calm waters make it extremely safe for swimming.Eagle Beach, ArubaTo get to the third-best beach, head south to the Dutch Caribbean island of Aruba. Eagle Beach has clear, calm waters and soft white sand. It offers visitors a chance to try different water spots. Eagle Beach may be best known, however, for its dramatic sunsets. On clear nights, the sky turns red, orange, and purple.Playa Paraiso, CubaTrip Advisors fourth-best beach is also in the Caribbean. Playa Paraiso is on Cayo Largo, an island off Cubas southern coast. Paraiso has a fun, laid-back restaurant for those who wish to eat and drink. There is little else on the beach. People e here for the sugar-like sand and calm waters filled with colorful wildlife.Siesta Key, United StatesFloridas Siesta Key is a low-lying island. The scientist known as Dr. Beach recently named Siesta Key the best beach in America. It offers calm and clean waters.

Theyd be speaking Old English. Talking to a tenth-century Englishman, youd probably only be able to understand a few words like “a” or “the”. Only about one sixth of todays English words have an Old English root (词根), with the rest having foreign influences.Gradually Old English turned into the Middle English that Chaucer wrote in but still the official language of England was French! It was only in 1362, during Chaucers lifetime, that English was used at the opening of Parliament for the first time. During the same year a law called the “Statute of Pleading” was passed, making English the official language in Parliament. In 1399, King Henry IV became the first king of England after the Norman Conquest whose mother tongue was English.English was still a language of low status (地位) especially when it came to writing poetry(诗歌). During the 14th century, the Italians and French were creative. Great poets like Dante were writing in totally new ways. But English had no such great writers, this was where Chaucer made a difference, he took the language of the man in the street and turned it into many famous works, such as the Canterbury Tales. Chaucer proved poetry written in English could be every bit as good as books in French.Of course, the English language has continued to change since Chaucers day. For example, Shakespeares English is quite different from Chaucers. And it is still changing now. Until just a few years ago, “C U L8R” (see you later) was just a set of letters and numbers, but most people know what it means.24. What happened during Chaucers lifetime?A. Old English began to turn into the Middle English.B. Englishs status was greatly improved.C. English was used only in parliament.D. English kings usually spoke English.25. Why was Chaucer so great?A. He first used formal English to write.B. He had a big influence on poets like Dante.C. He was a pioneer in writing English poems.D. He encouraged people to read books in French.26. Why did the author give the example of Shakespeares English?A. To explain English is always changing.B. To explain how the Middle English changed.C. To show Shakespeares English is unusual.D. To show how people respond to new words.27. How is the text developed?A. By space. B. By parison.C. By importance. D. By time.CWhen we are young we are taught that its wrong to lie and we should always tell the truth. Unfortunately, most children lie even if they are told not to. Research carried out at the institute of child study at Toronto University has shown that this might not be such a bad thing. Apparently (显然地), children who tell lies when theyre two years old have a good chance of being successful adults.According to the research, at the age of two, 20 percent of children lie. At the age of three, 50 percent lie, and at four almost 90 percent lie. By the age of 12 almost every child tell lies.Lying needs much brain work, and the better the lie is, the more work the brains has to do. By training the brain early, researchers believe children will be able to think more clearly when they are adults.Recent research, carried out by the Science Museum in London, has shown some interesting facts about the way we lie as adults. According to the research, the average British man tells three lies every day; thats over 1000 lies a year. However, the average woman apparently only lies twice a day. Most people think women are better liars than men although in fact they tell fewer lies. Popular womens lies include “Nothings wrong, Im fine.” “I dont know where it is; I havent touched it.” and “It wasnt that expensive”.Some people say you can lie as long as its a white lie. A white lie is a lie told to avoid hurting someones feelings. One of the most mon lies for both men and women is “Its just what Ive always wanted”, said after opening a present from their partner.28. What will happen to young children who lie?A. They will possibly do wrong later.B. Theyre likely to succeed in the future.C. They will keep lying when they grow up.D. They may have a good chance of losing others trust.29. What do the numbers in Para 2 show about children?A. Older children tell bigger lies than younger ones.B. As they grow, they often lie about their age.C. The older they grow, the more likely they lie.D. Its quite natural for them to tell lies.30. What did the research by the Science Museum find out?A. Men lie more than women.B. Women are better liars than men.C. Womens lies ate usually most serious.D. Men sometimes have to lie to women.31. Whats the true feeling behind the underlined part in the last paragraph?A. You know me so well.B. I dont like the present.C. You are good at picking presents.D. I havent received a present I really like.DDogs certainly need to bark every now and then, but if your neighbors dog is getting in the way of your daily life, you need to do something.“Before you take action, you should record the dates and times that the barking happens to find out any patterns,” says Schweitzer, who is a dog owner. You might notice the barking only happens when the owners are at work, or during thunderstorms.After two to three weeks of observing, go to your neighbors with the facts. Wait for a time when the barking is over. “Since youre trying to keep a good relationship, you cant go when you are angry and upset,” says Schweitzer. Besides, your neighbors might not even realize the bars are a problem, especially if the worst barking happens when theyre not at home.Politely explain the times when the barking gets bad, and then suggest a way of solving the problem. Ask if the dog can stay inside during storms, or offer a dog training class.Making friends with the dog could help you gain some peace and quiet. If your neighbors introduce you to their dog, you should give the dog a treat. “If they bee more fortable seeing you, theyre less likely to bark when they see you or when theyre in the backyard,” says Schweitzer.Whatever you do, dont talk with your other neighbors about the problem or start a petition (请愿) to get the dog to quiet down. “Those make people feel angry,” says Schweitzer. “Thats when things escalate.”If weeks go by and you still arent seeing a difference, follow up with a note. Tie a dog treat on the note to build trust with your neighbors, and make a copy before dropping it off. That way, youll have evidence that youve discussed it before a third party, says Schweitzer.32. What should people do first according to Schweitzer?A. Record when the dog barks.B. Find out why the barking happens.C. Find out if the dog is really dangerous.D. Record when the neighbor is usually out.33. When would be a good time for you to talk to your neighbor?A. When the dog is barking.B. When you are feeling calm.C. When youve found a problem.D. When your neighbor is walking the dog.34. What does the underlined word “escalate” in Paragraph 6 probably mean?A. Bee familiar.B. Bee worse.C. Get interesting.D. Get personal.35. What is the text mainly about?A. How to teach your dog to be quiet.B. What to do when your neighbor has a dog.C. How to deal with a neighbors noisy dog.D. What to do if your neighbor makes you angry.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。选项有两项为多余选项。Tips for Green Travel with KidsTravelling is a chance to show your children that being on the road doesnt have to mean letting go of all the eco-friendly choices we work so hard to achieve during our day-to-day life. Here are a few tips for green travel with kids:Booking nonstop flights whenever possible will reduce carbon emissions (碳排放). If the closest local airport doesnt have nonstop flights to a certain place, check in with other local airports to see if nonstop flights are available. 36 Whether youre flying, driving or taking the train, its easy when traveling to pull into fast food restaurant for snacks. My kids love to help plan the snacks. 37 I let them create their own snacks for the trip at home. 38 At the airport keep your bottles empty until youve passed through security (安检).
