Places of Interest in Wales
Conway: On the north Wales coast, Conway is where you’ll find the world’s smallest house, as well as a much larger “house”, Conway Castle, which was built in the 13th century.
Anglesey: This beautiful island is joined to the rest of north Wales by a road bridge and a railway bridge, and it’s just a short drive from Conway. Here you can visit the village of Llanfair Pwllgwyngyll which has the strangest name in Europe. Don’t miss the station. The sign runs the complete length of the platform! Also on Anglesey is Beaumaris Castle, which was started in the 13th century and to this day remains unfinished.
Snowdonia: Just a couple of hours’ drive from Beaumaris is the Snowdonia mountain range, which takes its name from the highest mountain in Wales, Mount Snowdon. From there, visit the famous Swallow Falls at nearby BetwsyCoed.
Portmeirion: In 1925 Clough, WilliamsEllis bought an attractive piece of Welsh land for less than £5,000. He then set out to show the world how a naturally beautiful castle could be built without being damaged and spent the next 50 years building the town of Portmeirion with a style of Italy.

Author Walter Dean Myers died at the age of 76 after a brief illness. Walter Dean Myers was
the author of more than 100 books for children and young adults and received many top awards.
The prolific author was loved for his vivid description of the lives of African American children, and for writing books for young people that covered different subjects.“Myers has written about all those subjects with deep understanding and a hardwon, qualified sense of hope,” said Leonard S. Marcus in 2008.
He was born in 1937 and was adopted by Florence Dean and Herbert after his mother died while giving birth to his younger sister. They loved him very much and his mother read to him from a very young age. Reading pushed him to discover worlds beyond his landscape.
He began writing at an early age. He wrote well in high school and an English teacher recognized this and advised him to keep on writing no matter what happened to him.“It’s what you do,” she said.
He dropped out of high school at 17 and joined the army. After finishing his service, he entered a dark period in his life. Myers began writing at night to pull himself through that miserable time.
In an essay published in The New York Times earlier this year, Myers described how a short story by James Arthur Baldwin helped change the course of his life.“I didn’t love the story, but I was lifted by it,” he wrote,“for it took place in Harlem, and it was a story concerned with black people like those I knew. By humanizing the people who were like me, Baldwin’s story also humanized me. The story gave me a permission that I didn’t know I needed, the permission to write about my own landscape, my own map.”
“I write books for the troubled boy I once was,” he wrote, “and for the boy who lives within me still.”
4.What does the second paragraph mainly talk about?
A.How popular Myers was.
B.How Myers became successful.
C.What makes Myers’ works popular.
D.What people think of Myers’ works.
5.Who discovered Myers’ writing talent?
A.James Arthur Baldwin. B.His mother.
C.Leonard S. Marcus. D.One of his teachers.
6.What does the underlined word “prolific” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A.Productive. B.Unfortunate.
C.Conservative. D.Humorous.
7.Why was the short story by James Arthur Baldwin so important for Myers?
A.It helped him survive the dark period.
B.It inspired him to pursue his writing career.
C.He learned many writing techniques from it.
D.The author of the story permitted him to write.

Do you find it difficult to put down your mobile phone?
If yes, you’re not alone. These days, many people suffer from the stress of FOMO(fear of missing out). They reach for their mobile phones when they wake up in the morning, and for the rest of the day, they constantly scroll down the timelines of their social media apps to get the latest updates.
Despite the convenience smartphones bring, many people struggle with their digital habits.
As Sameer Samat, vice president of product management, said in his speech at the 2018
Google I/O developer conference on May 8, 70% of people don’t want to spend so much time on their phones.
This is why during the conference Google introduced an app called Dashboard for the new version of its Android operating system. This new app includes wellbeing functions that aim to help users manage the time they spend on their digital devices.
It all starts with a bird’seye view. Dashboard allows users to look at all the details of their phone habits. For example, users can see how many times they’ve unlocked their phone and how many times they’ve checked their social media apps, as well as how much time they spend on each app every day.
Once the users see this information,they’ll be able to make some changes. With the AppTimer functions, users can set a time limit for how long they can use each app for every day. After they’ve hit the limit, they won’t be able to launch the app until the next day.
But even if users become more mindful of their usage, they’re still likely to be drawn in by notifications(通知). This is where the Shush feature comes in. It automatically silences incoming calls and notifications when a user puts his/her phone face down.
If people truly want to make full use of their free time instead of losing hours using their smartphones, these new functions are just one way of doing that.
After all, who needs to use an app to stop you from using other apps when the easiest answer would be just to use your willpower?
8.People under the pressure of FOMO may ________.
A.have trouble with their sleep
B.find it hard to focus on anything
C.be addicted to their mobile phones
D.prefer to download the latest apps
9.What inspires Google to launch Dashboard?
A.The limited functions of the current Android system.
B.People’s complaint about their smartphones.
C.Samat’s impressive speech at a conference.
D.Mobile phone users’ great demand.
10.________ can track users’ phone habits in detail.
A.Android B.AppTimer
C.Shush D.Dashboard
11.What can be learned from the passage?
A.Dashboard turned out to be popular.
B.Dashboard is a perfect choice to manage time properly.
C.Strong willpower is the easiest way to avoid smartphone addiction.
D.People are exploring other ways to stop overusing smartphones.

Most dog owners are convinced that their fourlegged friends know exactly what they mean when they use certain words like “sit”, “stay” or “treat”. However, researchers have always wondered whether dogs really understand human speech or if they rely on other information to get the meaning. For example, does the word “fetch” form a picture of a stick or ball in the dog’s mind, or does the dog bring back the object based on the owner’s voice or gesture? A new study by scientists at Atlanta’s Emory University seems to indicate that “man’s best friend” does indeed know what the owner is saying.
The researchers began by asking the owners of twelve dogs of various kinds to train their pets to identify two toys of different materials, such as a toy animal and a ball. Once the dogs had
mastered the task, they took turns inside a special scanner. The owners then tested their dog’s language skill by first calling out the names of the toys they had been trained to recognize and then saying meaningless words such as “bobbu” and “bodmick” while holding up random objects the dogs hadn’t seen before.
The scans suggested that the parts of the dogs’ brains responsible for processing sounds showed different brain patterns when they heard words they were familiar with, compared with the ones they had never heard before. While that was not enough to prove that the dogs were picturing their toys when they heard the word, it did indicate some sort of recognition. The researchers believe this is an important step in understanding how dogs process language.
Something even more interesting was that the dog’s brains showed a higher level of neural(神经的) activity at the sound of unknown words. This is the exact opposite of what happens in human brains, which get more active at the sound of familiar words. The researchers say the dogs may become cheerful at the sound of new words to try to understand them in the hope of delighting their masters. “Dogs want to please their owners, and perhaps also want to receive praise or food,” says Emory neuroscientist Gregory Berns, senior author of the study.
However, though your pet may understand human speech, the scientists recommend using visual signals and smell for training. “When people want to teach their dog a trick, they often use spoken commands because that’s what we humans prefer,” Prichard says. “From the dog’s view, however, a visual command might be more effective, helping the dog learn the trick faster.”
12.What’s the purpose of the new study?
A.To convince dog owners to understand their dogs.
B.To advise dog owners to treat their dogs kindly.
C.To prove dogs follow owners’ order by listening.
D.To test out how dogs get information from owners.
13.What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 2?
A.Inform the result of the research.
B.State the process of the research.
C.Stress the importance of the research.
D.Introduce the subjects of the research.
14.How do human brains and dog brains react to words?
A.Human brains become active in unfamiliar words.
B.Dog brains become delighted at unfamiliar words.
C.Human brains are not sensitive to familiar words.
D.Dog brains show no response to familiar words.
15.What do scientists advise the owners to do in dog training?
A.Give dogs oral commands. B.Teach dogs new tricks.
C.Involve sight and smell. D.Encourage faster learning.

第二节
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。游泳运动和跑步燃烧的卡路里相当,经常游泳的人获益良多,如可以增加心率,增强肌肉和力量,并能让心肺功能增强。
41.burns 解析:考查时态和主谓一致。句意:游泳一小时几乎和跑步一小时燃烧的卡路里一样多。根据句意可知,该句陈述的是一般事实,故用一般现在时;且该句主语为“An hour of swimming”,属于第三人称单数,故谓语动词用burns。
42.regularly 解析:考查副词。句意:经常游泳你将获益良多。空处修饰动名词“swimming”,故用其副词形式。
43.the 解析:考查冠词。根据空后的“biggest”可知,空处应用定冠词the。

48.who/that 解析:考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,该句为定语从句,空处应为引导词,在从句中作主语,先行词为persons,故用who/that引导该定语从句。
49.are injured 解析:考查被动语态。句意:如果你受伤或患某种疾病,在游泳前一定要咨询医生。分析句子结构可知,该句主语和动词injure之间为被动关系,故用被动语态。

I’m delighted to know you are coming to China with your family during the Chinese Lunar New Year, which is a great chance for you to experience Chinese culture personally. Here I am writing to offer you some advice.
