St. Lucia offers the perfect mix of relaxation and adventure. To take in the breathtaking scenery, plan to hike the Piton Mountains or dive in the waters of Anse Chastanet.‎ Banff. Alberta This Canadian destination will bring out the explorer in anyone who visits. From hiking and whitewater rafting to skiing and snowboarding, Banff offers travelers an abundance of year-round outdoor activities. The Lake Louise Ski Resort is one 10‎ ‎ of the largest in North America and the striking photo opportunities of the Canadian Rockies from Moraine Lake can’t be underestimated (低估).‎ Machu Picchu According to travelers, a visit to this Peruvian UNESCO World Heritage (遗产) site is a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. Located in the Andes Mountains, it is the most familiar icon (象征物) of Inca civilization. Spend a few days accustoming yourself to the altitude in the neighboring city of Cusco, where you can experience a mix of Incan and Spanish cultures.‎ Great Barrier Reef It’s easy to see why the Great Barrier Reef is one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World – it stretches nearly 1,500 miles along the eastern coastline of Australia and features about 3,000 reefs (礁) , 900 islands and more than I,500 species of fish. Travelers can see these amazing natural structures from the air or underwater. However, large amounts of coral bleaching (褪色) caused by rising ocean temperatures put this place’s continued existence at risk, so plan your visit soon to see this awesome sight up close.‎ ‎21. What can you enjoy both in St. Lucia and Banff?‎ A. Hiking. B. Skiing. C. Diving. D. Snowboarding.‎ ‎22. Where may a historian choose to go?‎ A. St. Lucia. B. Banff. Alberta. C. Machu Picchu. D. Great Barrier Reef ‎23. What do we know about the Great Barrier Reef?‎ A. It’s on the western coast of Australia.‎ B. It’s famous for coral reefs rather than fish.‎ C. People must take a plane to enjoy its beauty.‎ D. It may disappear if temperature keeps on rising.‎ B When my sister Mertie told me she had put out tomato plants last summer, I was quite impressed.‎ Since she was a garden-beginner, Mertie researched exactly how far apart to space her tomato plants; what kind of fertilizer to use; how to keep away the bugs, etc. Once they were planted, she took care of them daily, anxiously awaiting the juicy tomatoes to appear. But, day after day, her plants were tomato-less while all of her neighbors who had also put out tomato plants were already enjoying the fruit of their labor.‎ Frustrated, Mertie gave in and went to the market to search fresh tomatoes. While paying, Mertie told the farmer her troubles. The farmer paused to think for a moment and then asked, “Well, what kind of tomatoes did you plant?”‎ ‎“I think they were called Big Boy,” Mertie remembered.‎ ‎“Well there’s your problem,” the farmer explained. “Big Boy and Better Boy tomatoes have a 95-day growing period whereas regular tomato plants produce fruit in as few as 70 days…you just have to wait a little longer for the Big Boys.”‎ With that new knowledge, Mertie went home with excitement, knowing they would be worth the wait.‎ 10‎ Thinking about my sister’s gardening experience, I had to smile. She just didn’t know that Big Boy tomatoes took longer--neither did I--but once she discovered that information, she was no longer discouraged and upset about the lack of tomatoes on her plants. Instead, she was encouraged and excited to see them a few weeks later.‎ It makes me wonder how many of us have “Big Boy” dreams in our hearts, yet we just don’t realize that they are of the “Big Boy” variety so we are discouraged and worn out with the waiting process. Instead of waiting with excitement, we give up on our dreams and figure we must have done something wrong to stop them from coming to pass. Frustrated, we see other people’s dreams coming true, and we wonder why ours haven’t yet been achieved.‎ ‎24. What is not mentioned in the passage when growing tomato plants?‎ A. Using suitable fertilizer.   B. Keeping them well apart.‎ C. Watering them regularly. D. Controlling pests on them.‎ ‎25. Why did Mertie’s tomato plants fail to produce at the expected time?‎ A. Because they were destroyed by her neighbors.‎ ‎ B. Because she grew the wrong kind of tomatoes.‎ ‎ C. Because she didn’t manage the garden well.‎ ‎ D. Because they required more time to produce.‎ ‎26. What does the author compare tomatoes to in the text?‎ A. Goals.   B. Experiences.         C. Time.        D. Imagination.‎ ‎27. What does the text intend to show us?‎ A. It’s better late than never.           ‎ B. A bad beginning makes a bad ending.‎ C. Success sometimes needs a little patience. ‎ D. A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.‎ C One of the biggest problems when we are talking is the awkward silence. Encountering this situation is so uncomfortable that you would avoid meeting new people in the first place. In the past, I struggled with this and I even thought it had to do with my DNA or something… But later I learned that once you know how to keep those words flowing, you can meet and talk to anyone you like, which helps create great possibilities for friendship, fun and shared activities that you would otherwise have missed out on.‎ After studying this in depth, I had different opinions and found that one of these common behaviors is the habit of filtering (过滤)--holding back from saying something until you’ve “checked” to make sure that what you’re about to say is cool, impressive and interesting. Another problem is not learning to get in the mood for conversation. If you don’t know how to change from subjects, then it can take a lot of time to warm up.‎ It is the reflex (习惯性思维) that allows you to say whatever goes on in your mind. It’s fun to realize that you’re allowed to say whatever is on your mind. As long as you don’t say anything that could land you in jail (监狱).‎ 10‎ All of the “Oh! That’s interesting…” “Hmm, I’ve never heard of that” “Hmm, cool!” expressions are reactionary (保守的) bits of conversation that prove to the other person that you’re really listening. This works 99% of the time. So, if you show some interest, they’ll hang around and want to talk to you even more. ‎ Everyone knows that stories juice-up conversations, but most people only talk about stories of their own lives. When someone mentions something related to any of them, just tell the story, even if it’s not from your life. The more interesting, stranger or more frightening they are, the harder they are to forget.‎ ‎28. If people can deal with the awkward silence, they can .‎ A. train their working skill B. improve their life quality C. enrich their social life D. establish their working relationship ‎29. When talking with others, we should . ‎ A. feel nervous B. think twice C. be free to express D. avoid breaking in ‎30. According to the passage, what do the speakers care much about?‎ A. The attractive topics of conversation. B. The atmosphere of the conversation.‎ C. The listener’s experiences and tastes. D. The listener’s curiosity and concern.‎ ‎31. What does the underlined part “juice-up conversations” mean?‎ A. making conversations more boring B. making conversations livelier ‎ C. making conversations smoother D. making conversations more relaxing ‎ D Forcing waiters and waitresses to survive on tips from customers rather than normal wages is a pointless, crude, and unique American custom that, in the past several years, a handful of progressive restaurant owners have attempted to do away with. Danny Meyer, CEO of Union Square Hospitality Group, is about to join their ranks and has announced that he plans to gradually stop tipping at the company’s 13 restaurants.‎ What, exactly, is wrong with tipping? As Brian Palmer has explained, more or less it’s everything. To start, leaving a waiter’s pay in the hands of customers has a feeling of classism (阶级歧视)．And in theory, handing restaurant customers the power to tip is at least supposed to motivate better service. This fails in practice because humans turn out to be pretty arbitrary (随意的) about their tipping behavior. Research has shown that the amount diners tip has very little to do with their level of satisfaction. All of this doesn’t encourage waiters and waitresses to do anything but turn over as many tables as possible.‎ Tipping is also very unfair to kitchen staff. The law allows restaurants to divide tips between front-of-the-house workers like waiters, hosts, hostesses, and bartenders (调酒师), but not cooks. This creates a system in which the people serving the food in a restaurant can earn more than the people preparing it．‎ One of the most fascinating parts of Meyer’s move is that, unlike some restaurant owners who have taken an anti-tipping stand, he won’t simply add a standard extra charge to diners’ bills. Rather, Union Square Hospitality Group means to raise menu prices enough to fully cover the cost of a meal. If Meyer manages 10‎ ‎ to move away from tipping at all without hurting his profits, it would almost certainly set the stage for others to follow suit.‎ ‎32. What’s Danny Meyer ’s attitude towards stopping tipping?‎ A. Negative. B. Supportive. C. Objective. D. Doubtful.‎ ‎33. What can be inferred from Paragraph 2?‎ A. Tipping may disturb the restaurants’ management.‎ B. Tipping will guarantee diners high quality service.‎ C. Tipping can arouse the staff’s enthusiasm for work．‎ D. Tipping will bring customers a sense of satisfaction.‎ ‎34. What can we know about Union Square Hospitality group?‎ A. Brian Palmer is in charge of it now.‎ B. Its cooks earn much more than its servers.‎ C. Restaurant tipping has been totally banned there.‎ D. Diners will be charged more for the dishes there.‎ ‎35. What is the topic of the passage?‎ A. Restaurants’ getting rid of tipping.‎ B. Difficulties that restaurants are faced with.‎ C. The popularity of no-tipping restaurants.‎ D. Tips on running restaurants successfully.‎ 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填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ ‎    What makes one person more intelligent than another? What makes one person a genius, like the brilliant Albert Einstein, and another person a fool? Are people born intelligent or stupid, or is intelligence the result of where and how you live? 36.__________‎ ‎    We know, however, that just being born with a good mind is not enough. In some ways, the mind is like a leg or an arm muscle. 37.__________ Mental exercise is particularly important for young children. Many child psychologists think that parents should play with their children more often and give them problems to think about. 38.__________If, on the other hand, children are left alone a great deal with nothing to do, they are more likely to become dull and unintelligent.‎ ‎    39.__________ According to some psychologists, if parents are always telling a child that he or she is a fool or an idiot, then the child is more likely to keep doing silly and foolish things. So it is probably better for parents to say very positive things to their children, such as “That was a very clever thing you did.” or“ 40.__________”‎ A.A healthy body contributes to one's intelligence.‎ B.Parents should also be careful about what they say to young children.‎ C.What people want to express is like this.‎ D.The children are then more likely to grow up bright and intelligent.‎ E.It needs exercise.‎ F.You are such a smart child.‎ G.These are very old questions and the answers to them are still not clear.‎ 第三部分：英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 10‎ 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A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ Dario and his mother loved their new apartment.

Now many students have iPads and think it's a fashion to use them. Using an iPad, we can listen to music, download a lot of learning materials and read e-books on the screen. Obviously, it's helpful to our study, especially to our English listening.     Some students, however, bring their iPads to the classroom and listen to music without earphones, which makes the teacher and other students greatly annoyed. Some of them even waste precious time in class playing video games.     In my opinion, as students, we should make good use of iPads to help achieve academic success. The classroom is a place for students to study, and therefore, concentration is greatly needed for us to learn our lessons. Furthermore, the school should make a rule to guide the students to use iPads in a proper way.                                     ‎ Yours sincerely,‎ ‎ Li Hua ‎ ‎ 10‎
