The Big Island Though less traversed and slightly cheaper than Maui or Oahu, the Big Island offers some of Hawaii’s top beaches. Families can make their way in the water at La’aloa white sand beach in Kona, which has calm waves, or Carlsmith Beach Park in Hilo, which offers plenty of lagoons (环礁湖) and coves. Kiawah Island This South Carolina island less than 30 miles southwest of Charleston provides a slow-paced beach vacation, complete with 10 miles of shoreline and plenty of uneven nature to explore. Head to Kiawah Beachwalker Park, the island’s only public beach, which features a snack bar, beach rentals and a scenic boardwalk. When you’re not building sandcastles, sign the kids up for one of the day camps offered at Night Heron Park while the adults visit a spa or play a round of golf at a world-famous course. Destin This Florida town’s family-friendly atmosphere and impressive beaches attract multigenerational groups year after year. Many Destin resorts appeal to kids, so parents can relax while the little ones play. Boat tours are also a great way to spend some quality time with the family. The kids will have fun looking for jumping dolphins, while adults will have relaxation on a themed cruise(巡航). Cape May Cape May’s nearly 3 miles of family-friendly sands fill with New Jersey locals during school breaks and out-of-towners in the summer. You and your little ones can bond while surfing, kayaking or taking a walk along the beach. Sunset Beach is a popular spot where families can look for Cape May “diamonds” (quartz pebbles) or observe the nightly sunset ceremony. 1. Which best suits an adult tourist wanting to play golf? A. Kiawah Island. B. Destin. C. The Big Island. D. Cape May. 2. What can children in Destin resorts do? A. Go on a themed cruise. B. Admire jumping dolphins. C. Play with water in the sea. D. Observe the sunset ceremony. 3. Who is the advertisement intended for? A. A school. B. Adults. C. A family. D. Campers. 【答案】1. A 2. B 3. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了四个适合游客沿着海边旅行的完美目的地，并对每个目的地的特点、活动以及适合的人群进行了详细的描述和推荐。 【1题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章“Kiawah Island”部分中的“When you’re not building sandcastles, sign the kids up for one of the day camps offered at Night Heron Park while the adults visit a spa or play a round of golf at a world-famous course.(当你不搭沙堡的时候，给孩子们报名参加夜鹭公园提供的日间营地，而大人则去做水疗或在世界著名的球场打一场高尔夫球。)”可知，当成年人在岛上时，可以去享受温泉或者在世界著名的球场上打一轮高尔夫。因此，对于想要打高尔夫的成年游客来说，Kiawah Island是最适合的选择。故选A。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章“Destin”部分中的“Many Destin resorts appeal to kids, so parents can relax while the little ones play. Boat tours are also a great way to spend some quality time with the family. The kids will have fun looking for jumping dolphins, while adults will have relaxation on a themed cruise（巡航）. (许多Destin度假胜地对孩子们很有吸引力，所以父母可以在孩子们玩耍的时候放松一下。乘船游览也是与家人共度美好时光的好方法。孩子们将在寻找跳跃的海豚中寻找乐趣，而成年人将在主题游轮上放松。)”可知，许多Destin的度假村都很吸引孩子们，孩子们可以欣赏跳跃的海豚。故选B。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章“The Big Island”部分中的“Families can make their way in the water at La’aloa white sand beach in Kona, which has calm waves, or Carlsmith Beach Park in Hilo, which offers plenty of lagoons（环礁湖） and coves.(家人可以在科纳的拉阿罗亚白色沙滩上游泳，那里有平静的海浪，或者在希洛的卡尔史密斯海滩公园，那里有很多环礁湖和海湾。)”、“Kiawah Island”部分中的“When you’re not building sandcastles, sign the kids up for one of the day camps offered at Night Heron Park while the adults visit a spa or play a round of golf at a world-famous course.(当你不搭沙堡的时候，给孩子们报名参加夜鹭公园提供的日间营地，而大人则去做水疗或在世界著名的球场打一场高尔夫球。)”、“Destin”部分中的“This Florida town’s family-friendly atmosphere and impressive beaches attract multigenerational groups year after year.(这个佛罗里达小镇的家庭友好氛围和令人印象深刻的海滩年复一年地吸引着多代人的团体。)”以及“Cape May”部分中的“Cape May’s nearly 3 miles of family-friendly sands fill with New Jersey locals during school breaks and out-of-towners in the summer.( Cape May近3英里的适合家庭居住的沙滩上，学校放假时挤满了新泽西当地人，夏天则挤满了外地人。)”可知，文章主要介绍了四个适合游客沿着海边旅行的完美目的地，并在每个目的地的描述中都提到了家庭活动，因此可以推断出这则广告是面向家庭游客的。故选C。 B Sugar was my first choice when I was sad or happy, and the dependency and health consequences made it my abuser even as early as age five. For over twenty years after seven, every weight loss intervention failed me, leaving me feeling hopeless. I was fourteen when I went to my first weight-loss camp. I knew that I would regain all the weight I’d lost when I went home. A little voice inside me whispered. “You should help people. You should make a program that really works.” That voice got louder with each failed diet. It sparked a need to help others who were struggling like me. Eventually, I recognized that my issue was sugar. I broke up with sugar and dieting and found a way to heal my relationship with food. I finally created a program that would help people in the way that I had needed desperately all along. That program took off. My clients discovered that their relationships with food could be loving and sustainable. As a result, I was often encouraged to take my message to a larger platform. But when l finally was committed to sharing my story with the world, I knew that I had to tell it all leaving no stone unturned. My friend Rumi said, “The wound is the place where the light enters you.” Finally, I was ready to tell my story, shining a big and bright light on all the wounds. With anxiety screaming in my ear, I made progress and wrote Breaking Up with Sugar. Now, I receive daily e-mails from readers telling me that they finally feel heard and understood. They’re hopeful for the first time in their lives. To me, this is the truest meaning of life — to be truly healthy and loving. The greatest lesson I’ve learned on this journey is that. by embracing my truth, loving and sharing it, I am able to become the best version of myself — someone whom I love and cherish. 4 What was the author aware of at her first weight loss camp? A. She had eating problems. B. She would be abused there. C. She was badly in need of help. D. She would gain weight after that. 5. Why did the author create a program? A. To cope with her dependency on sugar. B. To make weight loss her lifelong career. C. To strengthen the effect gained at camps. D. To help people having the same problem as her. 6. What might be mentioned in the book Breaking Up with Sugar? A. The author’s dependency on sugar. B. The author’s turning over all stones. C. The mental harm of being overweight. D. The author’s changing attitude to anxiety. 7. What lesson did the author learn through her writing? A. Where there’s a will, there’s a way. B. Accept imperfection as part of life itself. C. Better an egg today than a hen tomorrow. D. Failures are the stepping-stones to success. 【答案】4. D 5. D 6. A 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者在无数次减肥失败之后意识到失败根源，因此决定杜绝甜食，并创办了一个活动，后来通过写书的方式把自己的经历告诉读者，鼓励大家健康生活，学会关爱自己。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“I was fourteen when I went to my first weight-loss camp. I knew that I would regain all the weight I’d lost when I went home.(我第一次参加减肥营是在14岁。我知道我回家后减掉的体重会全部反弹回来)”可知，作者在自己十四岁第一次参加减肥夏令营时就知道，她回到家里就会恢复体重。故选D项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“It sparked a need to help others who were struggling like me.(这激发了我去帮助其他像我一样挣扎的人的需求)”以及第三段“Eventually, I recognized that my issue was sugar. I broke up with sugar and dieting and found a way to heal my relationship with food. I finally created a program that would help people in the way that I had needed desperately all along.(最终，我意识到我的问题是糖。我不再吃糖，不再节食，找到了一种方法来治愈我与食物的关系。我最终创建了一个项目，以我一直迫切需要的方式帮助人们)”可知，作者创办活动是为了帮助和自己存在同样问题的人。故选D项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Finally, I was ready to tell my story, shining a big and bright light on all the wounds.(最后，我准备好讲述我的故事，让所有的伤口都焕发出明亮的光芒)”可知，作者决定在书中揭开自己的伤口。由此可推知，作者在书中可能会提到自己曾经对甜食的依赖。故选A项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The greatest lesson I’ve learned on this journey is that. by embracing my truth, loving and sharing it, I am able to become the best version of myself—someone whom I love and cherish.(我在这段旅程中学到的最重要的一课是。通过拥抱我的真实，爱它并分享它，我能够成为最好的自己——一个我爱和珍惜的人)”可知，作者意识到自己肥胖的原因是爱吃甜食，因此改掉了这个毛病，也不再节食，并写书鼓励有同样困扰的读者；作者由此领悟到人生的真谛：将不完美视为生活的部分，接纳自己，做最好的自己。故选B项。 C A recent study shows 176 bird species have been found to build nests with human litter, like cigarette butts (烟头), plastic bags and fishing nets. “This is worrying because it is becoming increasingly apparent that such materials can harm chicks and even adult birds,” said Zuzann a Jagiello, lead author of the study. The scientists found a range of materials were used by birds from different species: blackbirds have built nests with plastic string; blue tits have decorated them with colorful stuffing; white storks have added cardboard and plastic string. While such behavior had been observed as early as the 1830s, the scientists said in recent years it had undoubtedly increased. “We are living together with birds in a very human-altered environment,” said Jagiello, “Pollution is everywhere.” Birds, like many creatures, are threatened by the destruction of habitats and contact with people. The scientists highlighted ways birds are at risk from human-made materials in their homes. Nets trap birds; rubbish exposes chicks to poisonous environments; chicks choke on materials they mistake for food. However, the scientists were surprised to discover something very different. Cigarette butts contain nicotine(尼古丁) and other substances that can drive parasites and other harmful insects away from nests; plastic films can help keep baby birds warm; sturdier(更结实的) materials can make nests stronger. “It is too early to say what building nests with human-made materials does to bird populations,” said Jim Reynolds, co-author of the study. “There could be some winners and losers.” The study found mixed support for the theory that birds’ nests reflect the materials in their local area. Further research could help scientists learn more about where pollution is and how wildlife uses it. “Birds are wonderful bio-monitoring tools,” said Reynolds. “We’re asking people to take a photograph of a nest in their garden, wherever they might live.” 8. What behavior of the birds has been observed by scientists? A. Birds’ mistaking human litter for food. B. Birds’ seeking for more natural habitats. C. Birds’ living together with humans in harmony. D. Birds’ building nests with human-made materials. 9. What does Paragraph 5 mainly tell us about human litter? A. Its t hreat to the environment. B. Its fundamental composition. C. Its unexpected benefits to birds. D. Its widespread presence in nature. 10. What was Reynolds’ attitude to the concern about the impacts of human litter on birds? A. Uncertain. B. Uncaring. C. Supportive. D. Disapproving. 11. What is the text? A. A reader review. B. A news report. C. A research article. D. A warning message. 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了科学家关于鸟类使用人类垃圾建造巢穴的研究发现，包括这一现象的背景、原因、影响以及可能的科学研究价值。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“A recent study shows 176 bird species have been found to build nests with human litter, like cigarette butts（烟头）, plastic bags and fishing nets.(最近的一项研究表明，发现有176种鸟类使用人类垃圾建造巢穴，如烟头、塑料袋和渔网。)”可知，科学家观察到鸟类使用人造材料建造巢穴。故选D。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第五段“However, the scientists were surprised to discover something very different. Cigarette butts contain nicotine（尼古丁） and other substances that can drive parasites and other harmful insects away from nests; plastic films can help keep baby birds warm; sturdier（更结实的） materials can make nests stronger.(然而，科学家们惊讶地发现了一些非常不同的东西。烟头含有尼古丁和其他物质，可以将寄生虫和其他有害昆虫赶出巢穴；塑料薄膜可以帮助雏鸟保暖；更结实的材料可以使巢更坚固。)”可知，本段提到烟蒂含有尼古丁等物质，可以驱赶寄生虫和其他有害昆虫；塑料薄膜可以帮助幼鸟保暖；更结实的材料可以使巢穴更坚固。这些都是人类垃圾对鸟类产生的意外好处。故选C。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第六段““It is too early to say what building nests with human-made materials does to bird populations,” said Jim Reynolds, co-author of the study. “There could be some winners and losers.”(该研究的合著者Jim Reynolds说：“现在说用人造材料筑巢对鸟类种群有什么影响还为时过早。可能会有赢家和输家。”)”可知，Reynolds对于人类垃圾对鸟类影响没有明确的看法，而是认为需要进一步的研究来明确其影响，也就是Reynolds对于人类垃圾对鸟类的影响持有不确定的态度。故选A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“A recent study shows 176 bird species have been found to build nests with human litter, like cigarette butts（烟头）, plastic bags and fishing nets. “This is worrying because it is becoming increasingly apparent that such materials can harm chicks and even adult birds,” said Zuzann a Jagiello, lead author of the study.(最近的一项研究表明，已经发现176种鸟类用人类的垃圾筑巢，比如烟头、塑料袋和渔网。该研究的主要作者Zuzann a Jagiello说：“这令人担忧，因为越来越明显的是，这些物质会伤害雏鸟，甚至成年鸟。”)”、第七段“The study found mixed support for the theory that birds’ nests reflect the materials in their local area. Further research could help scientists learn more about where pollution is and how wildlife uses it.(该研究发现，鸟巢反映当地物质的理论得到了不同的支持。进一步的研究可以帮助科学家更多地了解污染的位置以及野生动物如何利用污染。)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要围绕科学家对鸟类使用人类垃圾建造巢穴的研究进行阐述，包括研究的发现、鸟类行为的背景、人类垃圾对鸟类的影响等。文章通过列举事实、数据和引用科学家的话语来支持其论点，具有研究文章的特点。故选C。 D “From this moment forward, in an effort to keep a healthy lifestyle, I’ve determined not to consume any snacks except rye bread.” is what I told myself yesterday, and yet here I am today chewing a chocolate bar. I’m aware that I’m breaking my own promise to myself. Instead of eating this, I should be working out or something. But the thing is, chocolate is too good at this moment for me to refuse it! As I type this, I’m experiencing what’s called instant gratification — the desire to experience pleasure or fulfillment without delaying it for a future benefit. Essentially, when you want it, you get it. Instant gratification is also the exact opposite of what we’re taught to do — delayed gratification: deciding to put off satisfying our current want to gain something better in the future. We’ve all encountered instant gratification before. Should I sleep in or wake up early to work out? When I get home, should I rest and watch TV first or get started on my homework? All humans have the tendency to seek pleasure and avoid pain, a basic but fundamental concept known as the pleasure principle. Originally coined by Sigmund Freud, it clearly states that all humans are driven, to some extent, by pleasure. Constantly seeking quick pleasure may bring subsequent troubles. However pleasant not doing your homework may seem right now, it only results in pleasure plagued by guilt and last-minute panicking late at night. An inability to resist instant gratification may result in underachieving in the long term and failure to meet certain goals. Instant gratification, however, is not necessarily a bad thing. You don’t always have to say no to things you want at that moment, and it’s good to treat yourself when you need it. In other words, times when you “treat yourself” are only valuable in combination with delayed gratification. While my chocolate bar may taste good now, it’ll taste even better if I only eat it after I’ve worked out or done something healthy. 12. How does the author introduce the topic? A. By making a contrast. B. By giving a definition. C. By citing a personal case. D. By listing detailed problems. 13. Which of the following is an example of instant gratification? A. Purchasing items regardless of budgets. B. Exercising regularly for long-term health. C. Limiting time on social media platforms. D. Finishing homework before watching TV. 14. What does the underlined word “plagued” in Paragraph 5 probably mean? A. Reminded. B. Highlighted. C. Introduced. D. Bothered. 15. What can be the best title for the text? A. The Power of Instant Gratification B. The Pleasure Principle and Its Consequences C. Instant Gratification: A Double-Edged Sword D. The Dilemma of Modern Lifestyle Choices 【答案】12. C 13. A 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要围绕“即时满足”与“延迟满足”这两个概念展开论述，解释了即时满足与延迟满足的定义和区别，探讨了即时满足可能带来的问题，也指出了即时满足并非全然不好，关键在于如何平衡即时满足与延迟满足。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段““From this moment forward, in an effort to keep a healthy lifestyle, I’ve determined not to consume any snacks except rye bread.” is what I told myself yesterday, and yet here I am today chewing a chocolate bar. I’m aware that I’m breaking my own promise to myself. Instead of eating this, I should be working out or something. But the thing is, chocolate is too good at this moment for me to refuse it!(“从这一刻起，为了保持健康的生活方式，我决定不吃任何零食，除了黑麦面包。”这是我昨天对自己说的话，而今天我却在这里嚼着巧克力棒。我意识到我违背了对自己的承诺。与其吃这个，我还不如去健身什么的。但问题是，巧克力在这个时刻太好了，我无法拒绝它！)”以及第二段“As I type this, I’m experiencing what’s called instant gratification—the desire to experience pleasure or fulfillment without delaying it for a future benefit.(当我写这篇文章的时候，我正在体验所谓的即时满足——渴望体验快乐或满足，而不是为了未来的利益而拖延。)”可知，作者通过引用自己的一个个人案例来引入话题，即自己昨天决定不再吃零食除了黑麦面包，但今天却在吃巧克力棒，这个例子直接引出了即时满足的主题。故选C。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“As I type this, I’m experiencing what’s called instant gratification—the desire to experience pleasure or fulfillment without delaying it for a future benefit.(当我写这篇文章的时候，我正在体验所谓的即时满足——渴望体验快乐或满足，而不是为了未来的利益而拖延。)”可知，所谓即时满足就是体验当下的快乐和满足而不考虑未来的利益。选项A“Purchasing items regardless of budgets.(购买物品而不考虑预算)”是一个即时满足的例子，因为它涉及到满足当前的欲望而不考虑未来的财务后果，即追求即时的快乐或满足而不考虑长远的利益。故选A。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第五段“However pleasant not doing your homework may seem right now, it only results in pleasure plagued by guilt and last-minute panicking late at night.(不管现在不做作业看起来多么愉快，它只会让你在深夜被内疚和最后一分钟的恐慌所……。)”可推测，“plagued” 在这里的意思应该是“困扰”或“使烦恼”，即不做作业带来的愉快被内疚和恐慌所困扰。选项A“Reminded (提醒)”；选项B“Highlighted (强调)”；选项C“Introduced (介绍)”；选项D“Bothered(困扰)”。故选D。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“Instant gratification, however, is not necessarily a bad thing. You don’t always have to say no to things you want at that moment, and it’s good to treat yourself when you need it. In other words, times when you “treat yourself” are only valuable in combination with delayed gratification. While my chocolate bar may taste good now, it’ll taste even better if I only eat it after I’ve worked out or done something healthy.(然而，即时满足并不一定是一件坏事。在那一刻，你不必总是对你想要的东西说不，在你需要的时候善待自己是件好事。换句话说，你“善待自己”的时间只有在延迟满足的情况下才有价值。虽然我的巧克力棒现在可能很好吃，但如果我只在锻炼或做一些健康的事情后吃它，味道会更好。)”以及全文内容可知，文章既讨论了即时满足的积极方面，即它可以让我们在需要时善待自己，也指出了它的消极影响，比如可能导致长期的不足和未能实现某些目标。因此，即时满足就像一把双刃剑，既有利也有弊，选项C“Instant Gratification: A Double-Edged Sword(即时满足：一把双刃剑)”最能准确反映这一点。故选C。 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Encouraging reading in young adolescents is a safe bet to develop their creativity, imagination and intellect in general.

They are our time to shine, and we love everything about them: the balloons, the games, the cake, the gifts, and so on. After reading cool stories about police officers solving mysteries, Allen Miller thought the police were awesome, hoping to become one of them! So, when he had to choose a theme for his seventh birthday party—he went with his favorite: the police! And all he wanted for his birthday party was a model police car. He excitedly invited some of his friends and anxiously awaited the day. Unfortunately, none of them could make it to the party due to various reasons, Allen’s mom Rachel wrestled with the challenging decision: should she cancel the party and save Allen the embarrassment of an empty party room? He had been looking forward to the party and talking about it daily, so it would break his heart to cancel it. Officer Frank Smith, who had already planned with Rachel and agreed to show up at the party, heard from Rachel that it might be canceled due to low attendance. That’s when he decided to save the day—he is a police officer after all! His duty is to serve and protect, and he decided to protect Allen from having a bad day, and serve him the most amazing seventh birthday party! Officer Smith got the whole local police to join in. “We like to be involved in our community. It’s not just about enforcing (执行) the law. We like to be there in the good times as well,” he explained to Rachel. On the day of Allen’s party, Officer Smith picked up Rachel and Allen in his police car. The boy didn’t know where they were going, but was excited. They stopped at Town Hall, and officer Smith led them into the meeting room where a group of policemen were waiting to wish Allen a happy birthday. 注意; 1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 There, a party was waiting for him. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After they enjoyed the cake, Officer Smith took out a gift bag. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】There, a party was waiting for him. The moment Allen stepped inside, a chorus of “Happy Birthday” filled the meeting room, and he found himself surrounded by lots of police officers holding balloons. Officer Smith introduced him to all the officers, who gave him high fives. Allen was thrilled, and his eyes sparkled with excitement as he looked at the grand police-themed cake. As Allen cut into the cake with the help of his mom, the room erupted into cheers and laughter, adding to the joyful atmosphere. After they enjoyed the cake, officer Smith took out a gift bag. “It’s for you.” He presented the delicately wrapped parcel to Allen, who was stunned by the surprise. “Wow, a model police car! It looks exactly like the one we came here in! Thank you!” Officer Smith smiled, “Anytime, Allen.” Allen hugged Officer Smith and thanked him again for making the otherwise crushing disappointment his time to shine. It was the local heroes who helped by being part of the community and inspiring the young soul in small but effective ways. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，以人物为线索。Allen很喜欢警察，所以他为自己的七岁生日派对选择了警察主题，并且想要一个警车模型作为生日礼物。但是他的朋友由于各种原因而不能在那天为他庆生。为了不让他失望，警官Frank Smith和Allen的妈妈计划为Allen准备一个独特的生日派对。在生日那天Frank Smith带着Allen和妈妈进入市政厅，一群警察为Allen庆生，他还收到了警车模型。这些当地英雄用小小的善举激励了这个男孩。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由续写第一段首句“在那里，一个派对正在等着他。”可知，第一段可以描写生日派对上的情形。 ②由续写第二段首句“他们享用蛋糕后，Smith警官拿出一个礼品袋。”可知，第二段可以描写Allen收到了警官送的警车模型，这些警官用小小的善举激励了这个男孩。 2. 续写线索：Allen进入会议室——一群警察为Allen庆祝生日——Allen收到了警车模型的礼物——Allen非常感动 3. 词汇激活： 行为类 ①拿着：hold/take/carry ②介绍：introduce/recommend ③爆发出：erupt into/burst into 情绪类 ①兴奋的：thrilled/excited ②欢乐的：joyful/pleasant ③惊讶：surprise/amazement 【点睛】【高分句型1】As Allen cut into the cake with the help of his mom, the room erupted into cheers and laughter, adding to the joyful atmosphere.(使用了As引导时间状语从句、现在分词作状语) 【高分句型2】It was the local heroes who helped by being part of the community and inspiring the young soul in small but effective ways.

The Big Island Though less traversed and slightly cheaper than Maui or Oahu, the Big Island offers some of Hawaii’s top beaches. Families can make their way in the water at La’aloa white sand beach in Kona, which has calm waves, or Carlsmith Beach Park in Hilo, which offers plenty of lagoons (环礁湖) and coves. Kiawah Island This South Carolina island less than 30 miles southwest of Charleston provides a slow-paced beach vacation, complete with 10 miles of shoreline and plenty of uneven nature to explore. Head to Kiawah Beachwalker Park, the island’s only public beach, which features a snack bar, beach rentals and a scenic boardwalk. When you’re not building sandcastles, sign the kids up for one of the day camps offered at Night Heron Park while the adults visit a spa or play a round of golf at a world-famous course. Destin This Florida town’s family-friendly atmosphere and impressive beaches attract multigenerational groups year after year. Many Destin resorts appeal to kids, so parents can relax while the little ones play. Boat tours are also a great way to spend some quality time with the family. The kids will have fun looking for jumping dolphins, while adults will have relaxation on a themed cruise(巡航). Cape May Cape May’s nearly 3 miles of family-friendly sands fill with New Jersey locals during school breaks and out-of-towners in the summer. You and your little ones can bond while surfing, kayaking or taking a walk along the beach. Sunset Beach is a popular spot where families can look for Cape May “diamonds” (quartz pebbles) or observe the nightly sunset ceremony. 1. Which best suits an adult tourist wanting to play golf? A. Kiawah Island. B. Destin. C. The Big Island. D. Cape May. 2. What can children in Destin resorts do? A. Go on a themed cruise. B. Admire jumping dolphins. C. Play with water in the sea. D. Observe the sunset ceremony. 3. Who is the advertisement intended for? A. A school. B. Adults. C. A family. D. Campers. B Sugar was my first choice when I was sad or happy, and the dependency and health consequences made it my abuser even as early as age five. For over twenty years after seven, every weight loss intervention failed me, leaving me feeling hopeless. I was fourteen when I went to my first weight-loss camp. I knew that I would regain all the weight I’d lost when I went home. A little voice inside me whispered. “You should help people. You should make a program that really works.” That voice got louder with each failed diet. It sparked a need to help others who were struggling like me. Eventually, I recognized that my issue was sugar. I broke up with sugar and dieting and found a way to heal my relationship with food. I finally created a program that would help people in the way that I had needed desperately all along. That program took off. My clients discovered that their relationships with food could be loving and sustainable. As a result, I was often encouraged to take my message to a larger platform. But when l finally was committed to sharing my story with the world, I knew that I had to tell it all leaving no stone unturned. My friend Rumi said, “The wound is the place where the light enters you.” Finally, I was ready to tell my story, shining a big and bright light on all the wounds. With anxiety screaming in my ear, I made progress and wrote Breaking Up with Sugar. Now, I receive daily e-mails from readers telling me that they finally feel heard and understood. They’re hopeful for the first time in their lives. To me, this is the truest meaning of life — to be truly healthy and loving.

C A recent study shows 176 bird species have been found to build nests with human litter, like cigarette butts (烟头), plastic bags and fishing nets. “This is worrying because it is becoming increasingly apparent that such materials can harm chicks and even adult birds,” said Zuzann a Jagiello, lead author of the study. The scientists found a range of materials were used by birds from different species: blackbirds have built nests with plastic string; blue tits have decorated them with colorful stuffing; white storks have added cardboard and plastic string. While such behavior had been observed as early as the 1830s, the scientists said in recent years it had undoubtedly increased. “We are living together with birds in a very human-altered environment,” said Jagiello, “Pollution is everywhere.” Birds, like many creatures, are threatened by the destruction of habitats and contact with people. The scientists highlighted ways birds are at risk from human-made materials in their homes. Nets trap birds; rubbish exposes chicks to poisonous environments; chicks choke on materials they mistake for food. However, the scientists were surprised to discover something very different. Cigarette butts contain nicotine(尼古丁) and other substances that can drive parasites and other harmful insects away from nests; plastic films can help keep baby birds warm; sturdier(更结实的) materials can make nests stronger. “It is too early to say what building nests with human-made materials does to bird populations,” said Jim Reynolds, co-author of the study. “There could be some winners and losers.” The study found mixed support for the theory that birds’ nests reflect the materials in their local area. Further research could help scientists learn more about where pollution is and how wildlife uses it. “Birds are wonderful bio-monitoring tools” said Reynolds. “We’re asking people to take a photograph of a nest in their garden, wherever they might live.” 8. What behavior of the birds has been observed by scientists? A. Birds’ mistaking human litter for food. B. Birds’ seeking for more natural habitats. C. Birds’ living together with humans in harmony. D. Birds’ building nests with human-made materials. 9. What does Paragraph 5 mainly tell us about human litter? A. Its t hreat to the environment. B. Its fundamental composition. C. Its unexpected benefits to birds. D. Its widespread presence in nature. 10. What was Reynolds’ attitude to the concern about the impacts of human litter on birds? A. Uncertain. B. Uncaring. C. Supportive. D. Disapproving. 11. What is the text? A. A reader review. B. A news report. C. A research article. D. A warning message. D “From this moment forward, in an effort to keep a healthy lifestyle, I’ve determined not to consume any snacks except rye bread.” is what I told myself yesterday, and yet here I am today chewing a chocolate bar. I’m aware that I’m breaking my own promise to myself. Instead of eating this, I should be working out or something. But the thing is, chocolate is too good at this moment for me to refuse it! As I type this, I’m experiencing what’s called instant gratification — the desire to experience pleasure or fulfillment without delaying it for a future benefit. Essentially, when you want it, you get it. Instant gratification is also the exact opposite of what we’re taught to do — delayed gratification: deciding to put off satisfying our current want to gain something better in the future. We’ve all encountered instant gratification before. Should I sleep in or wake up early to work out? When I get home, should I rest and watch TV first or get started on my homework? All humans have the tendency to seek pleasure and avoid pain, a basic but fundamental concept known as the pleasure principle. Originally coined by Sigmund Freud, it clearly states that all humans are driven, to some extent, by pleasure. Constantly seeking quick pleasure may bring subsequent troubles. However pleasant not doing your homework may seem right now, it only results in pleasure plagued by guilt and last-minute panicking late at night. An inability to resist instant gratification may result in underachieving in the long term and failure to meet certain goals. Instant gratification, however, is not necessarily a bad thing. You don’t always have to say no to things you want at that moment, and it’s good to treat yourself when you need it. In other words, times when you “treat yourself” are only valuable in combination with delayed gratification. While my chocolate bar may taste good now, it’ll taste even better if I only eat it after I’ve worked out or done something healthy. 12. How does the author introduce the topic? A. By making a contrast. B. By giving a definition. C. By citing a personal case. D. By listing detailed problems. 13. Which of the following is an example of instant gratification? A. Purchasing items regardless of budgets. B. Exercising regularly for long-term health. C. Limiting time on social media platforms. D. Finishing homework before watching TV. 14. What does the underlined word “plagued” in Paragraph 5 probably mean? A. Reminded. B. Highlighted. C. Introduced. D. Bothered. 15. What can be the best title for the text? A. The Power of Instant Gratification B. The Pleasure Principle and Its Consequences C. Instant Gratification: A Double-Edged Sword D. The Dilemma of Modern Lifestyle Choices 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Encouraging reading in young adolescents is a safe bet to develop their creativity, imagination and intellect in general.
