National Disability Insurance Scheme(方案)
The National Disability Insurance Scheme(NDIS) will transform the way Queenslanders with disability are supported and change the way disability services are funded and delivered.
Under the scheme,Queenslanders with disability will have choice and control over how they access support and who delivers them.They will also have certainty that they will be supported throughout their lifetime to achieve their personal goals.The NDIS will have an effect on the following programs.
School Transport Assistance Program for Students with Disability
The NDIS will not disrupt existing services for qualified students.The Queensland Government will also continue to provide school transport assistance for students with disability who are not qualified to receive funding via the NDIS.
For more information about the School Transport Assistance Program,and to check your qualification,visit the Education and Training website.
Taxi Subsidy(补助金) Scheme
The Queensland Government has lengthened the Taxi Subsidy Scheme(TSS) membership for NDIS qualified members to 31 October.This will allow more time to solve transport support arrangements under the Commonwealth's NDIS.
You can find more information about the TSS and your qualification on the TransLink website.
Disability Parking Permit Scheme
No changes will be made to the Disability Parking Permit Scheme when the NDIS is introduced in Queensland.Current arrangements for this scheme will be maintained.

Kim Stemple found herself in a Boston hospital being treated for one of several diseases she had been identified with.The normally highspirited Stemple was naturally getting very depressed.And then a friend who had just finished a half marathon gave her a medal and hoped it would give a positive message.Before she got too sick to exercise,Stemple had been a marathon runner,an experience she'd always miss.
After Stemple hung the medal above her hospital bed,other patients said they wanted medals too.That got Stemple thinking,“A medal can act as a kind of pickmeup.” And so was born her charity,We Finish Together,which gathers medals from strangers in different fields — runners,dancers,swimmers,and even spelling bee winners — and donates them to sorts of people in need.Receivers have included hospital patients and residents of homeless shelters.Part of the process involves the donor writing a personalized note.“This gives them a connection to someone,” says Stemple.
Can a simple medal really make a difference?“Yes,” says Joan Musarra.“I opened my package containing a new medal and a note of positive,warm thoughts.I was amazed,” she wrote to Stemple.“At that moment,I was sitting on my couch breathing through an oxygen cannula(插管).It seemed that someone was holding my hand.”
“I had the privilege of meeting Kim when in Washington D.C.for the Rock‘n’Roll Half Marathon.We chatted about life,sharing stories and of course we talked about her organization,” says Keri,a runner.“Kim talks little about herself and doesn't want the organization or stories to be about her,but rather,about all the wonderful people involved.”
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇记叙文。Kim Stemple之前是一名马拉松运动员,生病后得到朋友赠送的奖牌,并受此启发成立了名叫“We Finish Together”的慈善机构,通过收集并赠送奖牌的方式,激励和帮助了很多身处逆境的人。

In the movie Alice in Wonderland,Alice comes across a Cheshire cat and asks the cat which road she should take.The cat responds,“Well,that depends on where you're trying to get to.” Alice replies,“I don't know.” The cat responds,“Then any road will do.”
You see,knowing where you're going increases your chances dramatically of getting there,and there is no better way of “GETTING THERE” than setting your goals for the upcoming year.Think of your goals as destinations and the action steps as your GPS guiding and directing you.If you are like many other people,for years you have resisted the need to set goals and even laughed at the thought that setting goals and,even more importantly,committing them to writing have positive effects on your life.However,a closer look might convince you that setting goals is a sensible thing to do.
In 1979,a class of Harvard MBA students was asked:Have you set clear,written goals for your future and made an action plan to accomplish them?The following will astonish you.Only 3 percent of the class had written goals and a plan in place,13% just had goals,and an amazing 84% had no specific goals at all.
Ten years later the members of the class were interviewed once again and the following results will no doubt give the reason for our setting goals.The findings were that the 13% who had goals were earning,on average,twice as much as the 84% who had no goals at all.And the 3% percent who had clear,written goals with a plan to achieve them were achieving ten times as much as the entire 97% combined.
Goal setting will increase your chances of arriving successfully at your destination.Remember,always set SMART goals.Goals should be:Specific,Measurable,Attainable,Relevant,and Timebound!
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了设定适当的目标并有具体的行动计划,可以增加成功的可能性。
8.Why does the author mention Alice in Wonderland?

C.To recommend it to readers.
D.To introduce the topic.
解析:选D 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“You see,knowing where you're going increases your chances dramatically of getting there,and there is no better way of ‘GETTING THERE’ than setting your goals for the upcoming year.”可知,作者提到这部电影是为了引出下文,即文章关于设定目标的主题。
9.What does the underlined word “them” refer to?
A.Goals. B.Effects.
C.People. D.Action steps.
解析:选A 代词指代题。由画线词上下文可知,作者指出如果你和许多人一样,多年来你一直抵制设定目标的需要,甚至嘲笑设定目标,和把目标写下来对你的生活有积极影响的想法。故them指的应是goals。
10.What did the second interview find out?
A.People with goals were certain to succeed.
B.Action helped with the realization of goals.
C.People with goals earned the most.
D.The income gap among students was bigger.

An increase of just 2 ℃ in global temperatures could make the world considerably drier and more desertlike,new research has warned.
More than a quarter of the world's land surface,home to more than 1.5 billion people,would become more arid and droughts and wildfires could be widespread.Limiting global warming to 1.5 ℃ would dramatically reduce the percentage of the Earth's surface affected,scientists found.
“Aridification(干旱化) would emerge over 20 to 30 percent of the world's land surface by the time the global temperature change reaches 2 ℃,” said Dr Manoj Joshi from the University of East Anglia's School of Environmental Sciences and one of the study's coauthors.
The research team studied projections from 27 global climate models and identified areas of the world where aridity will greatly change.The most affected areas are parts of South East Asia,Southern Europe,Southern Africa,Central America and Southern Australia.These areas are home to more than 20 percent of the world's population—that's over 1.5 billion people.
The study looked at the current rate of global temperature increase and compared it to data from before the industrial revolution.The world has already warmed by 1 ℃ since then.Two thirds of the affected regions could avoid significant aridification if warming is limited to 1.5 ℃,researchers found.
The Paris Agreement,which was first signed in 2015,is an international agreement to control climate change.It hopes to hold the increase in the global average temperature to well below 2 ℃ and to pursue efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5 ℃.
But the local protectionism makes it possible that the world may become drier and the horrific scenes of the Californian wildfires may become more common.The fire burned more than 440 square miles of Ventura and Santa Barbara counties and destroyed more than 1,000 structures after breaking out in early December.
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文。最新研究表明,全球气温只要上升2 ℃,世界就会变得相当干燥,在全球导致干旱和火灾。
12.What should we do to prevent aridification?
A.We should limit the temperature rise to 2 ℃.
B.We should limit the temperature rise to 1.5 ℃.
C.We should limit the industrial development.
D.We should limit the global population.
解析:选B 细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句和第五段最后一句可知,我们应该把升温限制在1.5摄氏度来防止干旱。
13.Which country is most likely to be affected by aridification?
A.China. B.Russia.
C.Canada. D.Philippine.
解析:选D 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“The most affected areas are parts of South East Asia...Southern Australia.”可知东南亚是受影响最严重的地区之一,菲律宾地处东南亚,最可能受影响。
14.Why does the author mention the Californian wildfires in the passage?
A.To show the harm of aridification.
B.To emphasize the loss of the fire.
C.To support the local protectionism.
D.To tell us wildfires are common.
解析:选A 推理判断题。根据第二段第一句和最后一段第一句可知,升温会导致干旱,干旱导致火灾,地方保护主义加剧了干旱火灾。
15.What is Dr Manoj's attitude towards the global temperature change?
A.Indifferent. B.Approving.
C.Concerned. D.Unclear.
解析:选C 观点态度题。根据第一段和第三段可推断出马诺伊博士对全球气温变化的态度是担心的。

Working out is a healthy way for your friend to deal with her emotions,because it increases the chemicals in her brain that produces pleasing feelings. 17 Maintaining a schedule will help your friend to get through her issues.

(lead) by scientists at the Boston University School of Medicine concludes that optimists live 38. (long).
Lewina Lee,lead author of the study,said,“A lot of evidence 39.

44.解析 考查名词。the loss of...意为“失去……”。
答案 loss
45.解析 考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。本句中主语与谓语动词构成被动关系,且主语matters是复数,谓语动词用复数形式。

阅读下面的材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was a yearbook day and I rushed into the hall madly.I had waited nearly a week for my chance to see my picture in the school publication.I was a freshman in high school and we each had an hour to sign each other's yearbooks.I sat down at a table,waiting for people to start coming over in groups to get their yearbooks signed and to sign mine.A boy came up to where I was sitting.I had seen him around.He had buckteeth(龅牙),and wore a pair of glasses.He rocked back and forth nervously and seemed painfully unsure of himself.He was so pale that it hurt to look at him.I was not entirely sure what was wrong with him,but I knew he spent his time with a special helper because he couldn't do everything by himself.Little did I know that this boy would completely change my life.
He came up to me nervously,asking in an almost pleading way,“Can you sign this?”
I looked at my friends who just looked at me and shrugged.To tell the truth,I didn't want to do that because of his appearance.
Thinking for a few seconds,I took his yearbook,not knowing what to write.I saw that there was the name “Ricky Sanders” printed on the front cover.So I wrote:
Ricky,I think you're a really nice kid,and I hope you have a great summer.Have lots of fun during the break.
——Will
I put down the yearbook and turned around to get some signatures from some of the others when I noticed my yearbook was gone.I looked around and saw Ricky sitting at the end of the table with my yearbook in his hands.
“What are you doing?” I asked.
He looked up calmly and just said,“Sign!” I saw that he was trying to put a signature in my yearbook.It took him nearly five minutes and when I got my yearbook back,there was a “RICKY” written in capital letters.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
Ricky handed me my yearbook and smiled,really happy.
It was amazing,and Ricky was excited.
One possible version
Ricky handed me my yearbook and smiled,really happy.I couldn't help but smile back at him.Just at that moment,my mood changed completely.I had never expected to have any connection with a boy like him and I felt something warm and touching in his smile.I gave him a huge hug.Suddenly everyone at my table wanted his signature.Soon,many people in the hall asked Ricky to sign in their yearbooks.His yearbook wasn't going unsigned,either.“You're cool,Ricky!”“Have a wonderful summer,Ricky!” and the like filled up the signature pages of his yearbook.
It was amazing,and Ricky was excited.His smile was so big that it lit up the hall.That's when I saw his special helper standing not very far away from the table.She was drying tears from her eyes and smiling.She looked at me and mouthed the words,“Thank you.” I nodded to her,looked at Ricky and spoke softly,“Thank you,too.”Honestly,I had never realised before that a small action could make such a difference.It was Ricky who taught me that.
