Parties of 6-8 people can arrange for an all-night ghost sit in the Tapestry Room. Scientists and researchers also conduct field experiments here and you can participate in one of these yourself with an all- night watch. The castle will be closed from Jan. 1 to Feb.12.Chillingham CastleThis castle has a wealth of frightening stories to entertain visitors. Ghost tours cost 20 pounds per person and run in the evening all year round. The castle also occasionally has ghost-themed special events such as dinner evenings where a ghost hunter visits and relates some of his experiences in the field.Tutbury CastleTutbury Castle is more of a ruin than a functioning building, having been largely destroyed during the English civil war. Queen Mary of Scots spent much of her imprisonment here and her ghost has been spotted on several occasions. Tutbury is only open to the public from Easter until September but special arrangements can be made for large parties at other times. The castle also runs ghost hunts which can involve overnight stays in the Great Hall or Kings bedroom.Berre Pomeroy CastleThe Castle in Devon is now no more than an attractive ruin but it is said to be one of the most haunted spots in Britain. Both White and Blue Lady ghosts have been seen in the grounds. The first is believed to be starved to death by a cruel sister, the identity of the other is unknown.

However, though in poor condition, father managed to be present at every occasion. His doctor said that by focusing on all my future events, it helped my dad live longer. I guess so because nine days after my high school graduation, my father died.For the next week after his funeral, I didnt leave my room or even to shower. Finally, my mom stormed in and said, “Megan, get up. I have something for you to read.”My fathers doctor had sent my mother a letter. It contained the typical “I am sorry for your loss” sentences. But this letter was far from typical. I could physically see the pain this loss had caused him. In his letter, he wrote about how my father inspired him to change his life and the way he worked. He expressed his desire to bee a person like my father, who cared more for the people around him and put everyone else first.After I finished reading it, I decided to live my life. I went outside and got a job as a summer camp advisor. I worked from dawn to dark everyday that summer. I gave everything I had to the kids and slowly they helped to heal(治愈) me without even realizing what they were doing.My summer mirrored parts of the life my father led in his last few days. I had spent the summer months giving myself to children. It was not the senior summer I had always imagined. It wasnt all about me. I had learned the final lesson my father was teaching me, that in order to lead a rich and happy life, you must learn how to give yourself to others. By helping them you really are helping yourself.24. The doctor sent the authors mother a letter mainly to _.

Which of the following could be the best title for the passage?A. Dads Final Lesson B. My Senior Summer C. My Fathers Death D. An Important LetterC I dont think I can recall a time when I wasnt aware of the beauty of the ocean. Growing up in Australia, I had the good fortune of having the sea at my side. The first time I went to Half Moon Bay, I suddenly had the feeling of not being able to feel the ground with my feet anymore. For my 10th birthday, my sister and I were taken out to the Great Barrier Reef. There were fish in different colors, caves and layers of coral. They made such an impression on me. When I learned that only 1 percent of Australias Coral Sea was protected, I was shocked. Australian marine life is particularly important because the reef have more marine species than any other country on the earth. But sadly, only 45% of the worlds reefs are considered healthy. This statistic is depressing, so its important to do everything to protect them. The hope that the Coral Sea remains a plete eco system has led me to take action. Ive bee involved with the Protect Our Coral Sea activity, which aims to create the largest marine park in the world. It would serve as a place where the oceans species will all have a safe place forever, Together, Angus and I created a little video and we hope it will inspire people to be a part of the movement. Angus also shares many beautiful childhood memories of the ocean as a young boy, who grew up sailing, admiring the beauty of the ocean and trying to find the species.28. From the underlined sentence in Para.1, we can learn the author_A. had a wonderful impression of Half Moon Bay B. seldom went surfing at the sea C. forgot his experiences about the ocean D. never went back to his hometown 29. According to the second paragraph, Australian marine life_A. is protected better than that in other oceans B. is escaping from the Coral Sea gradually C. depends on reefs for living greatly D. may be faced with danger 30. The Protect Our Coral Sea activity is intended to_A. raise more teenagers environmental awareness B. contribute to a plete eco-system C. prevent more marine species being endangered D. set up a large nature reserve for reefs 31. Angus and the author created a little video to_A. bring back to people their memory of ocean speciesB. urge more people to take action to protect the marine speciesC. inspire more people to explore the secret of the oceanD. share their childhood experiences about the oceanDTo have a second child or not, this is a question.A concern about only one child is whether one child necessarily means a lonely child. Many parents of only one child feel guilty of their decision to have only one child. There are no other children in the family for the child to associate with, which may lead to the child feeling lonely at times.Another mon argument against having just one child may be more spoiled than one with sisters or brothers. Many people believe that a single child will not have learned to negotiate with others, and respect the give-and-take involved in many relationships. Some think this may leave the child unable to get along well with people of his or her own age.Despite these arguments, the number of parents choosing to have only one child is increasing in the world. For some single-child parents, the pressures of devoting time and energy to raising a second child can result in them selecting to have no more children. For other parents, the financial burden of having a second child may be the major consideration. Another important consideration is the increasing age at which women give birth to children.Advocates of single-child families argue that there are advantages for the child as well as the parents. With just one child, the parents can give, and the child can receive, more quality time and attention,However, there is no simple answer to the question of whether or not to have a second child. The circumstances affecting each set of parents are unique. The important thing, in the end, is to make a decision that both the wife and the husband feel confident.32. What are the advantages of children with brothers or sisters? A. less loneliness and better social abilities B. less pressure and better energy C. more respect and greater family wealth D. higher intelligence and more attention 33. What prevent some parents from having a second child according to the passage? A. work pressure B. the disagreement between parents and childrenC. limited time, energy and money D. the health and wealth of the first child 34. What can we learn from the passage?A. The birth of a second child makes many parents guiltyB. The number of single-child parents is decreasingC. Family circumstances have little effect on parents decisionD. Nowadays women delay giving birth to children35. How is the passage developed?A. By providing examples B. By listing suggestionsC. By offering descriptions D. By analyzing reasons 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。Do you have any problem with time? Start doing these and you will see the difference. Write it downDont rely on your memory to keep track of every little detail. 36 . Write down the things you need to do in a small notebook, or use online tool to create and update your “to-do” list. 37 Working for long periods without a break can waste your time.
