The islands’ small size means everywhere is within easy reach.‎ Sandy beaches and swimming spots One of Malta’s best beaches for families is soft-sanded, sheltered Golden Bay. Older children can try activities such as stand-up paddle boarding, sailing or windsurfing, while the gentle slope of the beach makes it easy for younger kids to safely paddle in the sea.‎ Eating out Children are welcome at most restaurants, though more upmarket places often only accept older kids. There are often kids’ menus that tend to offer pizza, but you ‎ can always ask for a half portion (一份) of a starter dish (portions are huge in Maltese restaurants). With a wide range of cuisines on offer, children are bound to find something they’ll like, Maltese food is strongly influenced by Italian cuisine, so there’s pizza and pasta galore, and some kids will love the national dish-fried rabbit.‎ Accommodation Try to schedule at least a few days on Gozo as there are lots of self-catering farmhouses with pools to rent and it’s even easier to get around than Malta. Smaller hotels in Valletta usually only accept older children.‎ Transport and other tips The easiest way to get around Malta and Gozo is to drive, but the local bus service is reliable, easy to use, and fairly inexpensive. Buses are frequent between major towns, but only roughly hourly to and from smaller places. Ferries run between Malta and Gozo, and you can take tourist boats over to Comino. ‎ ‎2l. What can younger kids do on the islands of Malta and Gozo?‎ A. Try windsurfing. ‎ B. Have dinner at all restaurants.‎ C. Live in smaller hotels in Valletta. ‎ D. Experience paddling in the sea.‎ ‎22. What do we know about Maltese food?‎ A. It has much to do with Italian cuisine.‎ B. Children can always eat up a portion of dish.‎ C. Fried rabbit is the most popular among visitors.‎ D. Pizza is only offered to kids in Maltese restaurants.‎ ‎23. What transportation may be the best choice for visitors in Malta and Gozo?‎ A. Motor vehicles. B. Ferries.‎ C. Sailing boats. D. Tourist boats.‎ B On a sunny day last January, people got together at a parking lot in Las Vegas ‎ to see small vehicles that looked more like colorful eggs than ordinary cars. These vehicles were electric, ran on two wheels instead of four and held only two passengers. Thanks to their tiny size, six of the vehicles would fit in a parking spot. If the idea of parking such a small car makes you nervous, don’t worry. These cars can park themselves. And they can return to their owners when controlled by a button on a cell phone.‎ The vehicle is called the EN-V( Electric Networked-Vehicle). It is built by General Motors, or GM. and it points to what future vehicles might be like. It is designed to be energy-saving, solve environmental problems and help ease traffic jams, parking and safety concerns. The automaker says its next concept car will help drivers get whatever they want. According to GM, the company has also designed an electric vehicle named Lean Machine. However, it is a small three-wheeler and this single-seater vehicle looks like a motorcycle. One day, such small, electric vehicles might safely carry people around, especially in crowded cities.‎ Scientists and engineers are finding new ways to make cars safer, smarter and more efficient, or use less energy. New cars may help you keep track of your health by reminding you to take medicine. If it’s electric, your car may send you a message reminding you to recharge it. Cars will talk to other car, your computer, your phone and your iPad. They will help drivers save energy, watch out for other drivers and avoid walkers on the streets.‎ This is the future of vehicles: safer, smarter and more energy-saving. Besides, they might even drive themselves down the highway or through a city. You can sit back and enjoy the ride.‎ ‎24. Why did people get together at a parking lot in Las Vegas?‎ A. They wanted to see some colorful eggs.‎ B. They came to see an unusual parking lot.‎ C. They came to watch a kind of new vehicle. ‎ D. They wanted to drive some smart vehicles.‎ ‎25. Which of the following best explains the underlined part in Paragraph 3?‎ A. To leave dirty marks behind.‎ B. To have information about what’s happening.‎ C. To run quickly on the playground.‎ D. To follow the movements of vehicles.‎ ‎26. What’s the advantage of the new vehicles?‎ A. They have only two wheels.‎ B. They can treat your diseases. ‎ C. They look like motorcycles.‎ D. They are smart and energy-saving.‎ ‎27. What’s the main idea of the passage?‎ A. The functions of two-wheel cars.‎ B. The introduction to future cars. ‎ C. The new ways to make vehicles.‎ D. The parking lot in Las Vegas.‎ C Imagine, one day, getting out of bed in Beijing and being at your office in Shanghai in only a couple of hours, and then, after a full day of work, going back home to Beijing and having dinner there.‎ ‎ Sounds unusual, doesn't it? But it's not that unrealistic, with the development of China’s high-speed railway system. And that’s not all. China has an even greater high-speed railway plan— to connect the country with Southeast Asia, and eventually Eastern Europe.‎ ‎ China is negotiating（谈判）to extend its own high-speed railway network to up to 17 countries in 10 to 15 years, eventually reaching Singapore and London.‎ ‎ China has proposed three such projects. The first would possibly connect Kunming with Singapore via Vietnam and Malaysia. Another could start in Urumqi and go through Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, and possibly to Germany. The third would start in the northeast and go north through Russia and then into Western Europe.‎ As for the plan, there are some technical challenges to overcome. There are so many issues that need to be settled, such as safety, rail gauge (轨距). But the key ‎ issue is really money. China is already spending hundreds of billions of yuan on domestic railway expansion.‎ China prefers that the other countries pay in natural resources rather than with capital investment (资本投资). Resources from those countries could stream into China to sustain development.‎ It’ll be a win-win project. For other countries, the railway network will definitely create more opportunities for business, tourism and so on, not to mention the better communication among those countries. For China, such a project would not only connect it with the rest of Asia and bring some much-needed resources, but would also help develop China’s far west. With high-speed trains, people will set up factories and business centers in the west once and for all. And they’ll trade with Central Asian and Eastern European countries.‎ ‎28. China’s new high-speed railway plan will be a win-win project because _______.‎ ‎ A. China will get much-needed resources and develop its western regions ‎ B. China and the countries mentioned will benefit from the project in various ways ‎ C. China will develop its railway system and communication with other countries ‎ D. the foreign countries mentioned will develop their railway transportation, business.‎ ‎29. According to the passage, the greatest challenge to the new high-speed railway plan is ______.‎ A. technical issues B. safety of the system ‎ C. financial problems D. natural resources ‎30. What’s the author’s attitude towards China’s high-speed railway plan?‎ ‎ A. Positive. B. Negative. C. Doubtful D. Critical.‎ ‎31. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?‎ A. International Railway Network B. New Railway Standards ‎ C. High-speed Bullet Trains D. A Highspeed Railway Dream D After watching my mother deal with our family of five, I can’t understand why her answer to the question, “ What do you do ? ” is always , “Oh, I’m just a ‎ housewife.” JUST a housewife? Anyone who spends most of her time in meal preparation and clean-up, keeping the house clean, attending PTA meetings , leading a scout troop , playing taxi driver to us kids when it’s time for school, musical lessons or the dentist , doing volunteer work for her community is not just a housewife. She’s the real Wonder Woman. 　　Why is it that so many mothers like mine regard themselves as second-class citizens or something similar? Where has this thought come from? Has our society made “going to work” outside the house more important than what a housewife must face each day? I would be curious to see what would happen if a housewife went on strike. Dishes would pile up and food in the house would run out. There would be no clean towels when needed. Walking and bus riding would increase. 　　I doubt if the man of the house would be able to take over. Oh, he would probably start out with the attitude that he can do just as good a job, but how long would that last? Not long, once he had to come home each night after work to more housework. There would be no coming home to a prepared meal; the kids would all be screaming for something to eat, clean clothes and more bus fare money. Once he quieted the kids, he’d have to clean the house, go shopping, make sure that kids got a bath, after cleaning out all the dog hairs from the bathtub. Once the kids were down for the night, he might be able to crawl into an unmade bed and try to read the morning newspaper.‎ ‎32. What does the writer think of his mother in the first paragraph?‎ A. She is just a housewife.‎ B. She is great like a super woman. ‎ C. She spends much in doing housework. ‎ D. She loves her kids very much. ‎ ‎33. In the second paragraph, the writer suggests that __________.‎ A. mothers are actually great women B. our society looks down upon housewives C. housewives should go on a strike D. doing housework isn’t as important as working outside ‎34. What will possibly happen if a man deals with housework?.‎ A. He would do it as well as his work for long.‎ B. He would make the kids quiet and scream for food. ‎ C. He wouldn’t handle housework as well as women.‎ D. He wouldn’t go on reading the morning newspaper.‎ ‎35. How does the writer present his idea?‎ A. By defining the words.‎ B. By listing facts and comparing.‎ C. By presenting causes and effects.‎ D. By classifying the evidence. ‎ 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。‎ Some people are successful while others are unsuccessful.

They find it hard to find the difference between urgent jobs and important jobs.‎ ‎ 38.                ‎ ‎  Successful people are prepared to move out of their comfort zones and take some planned risks. Ineffective people prefer to stay doing what they know they can do. They do not want to try new things at which they could fail.

At this reason I would disagree with the building of one in my neighborhood. First of all, having a larger shopping center will be a greatly increase in traffic. More cars may not only brings traffic jams but also noise and parking problems. Second, a large shopping center requires a lot of space. To build one, many open space will have to be occupied, but we might no longer have room for a sports ground. Last, large numbers of people come here will make our neighborhood crowd.

I hope my peaceful and quiet neighborhood will not stay the same.‎ 第二节 书面表达（满分25分）‎ 假设你是李华，你的英国朋友Jim一家要来中国旅游。Jim来信希望你能给些建议。请你给他回信，内容包括：‎ ‎1.你很高兴Jim一家能来中国旅游，乐意为其充当导游；‎ ‎2.你推荐长江三峡游这条路线；‎ ‎3.你的推荐理由（景色、历史文化、水利工程）；‎ ‎4.注意事项：（如：带保暖的衣服…）。‎ 注意：1. 词数100左右；‎ ‎ 2. 可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯； ‎ ‎ 3. 邮件开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 ‎ 参考词汇：irrigation works 水利工程 Dear Jim,‎ ‎_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎ Lihua
