It may seem hard to leave Sydney’s attractions and sights, but when the urge arises to explore beyond the city, many exceptional day trips await travelers.
Scenic World
On a visit to the World heritage-listed Blue Mountains, enjoy clean fresh air and breath-taking landscapes of ancient rainforests. Scenic World in Katoomba is the best way to access the beauty of this region. Besides climbing, you can choose cablecars, elevated boardwalks or the Scenic Railway—the world’s steepest train travelling through a rock tunnel, to reach the mountain top.
Royal National Park
Established in 1879, the Royal is the world’s second-oldest national park. Located an hour’s drive south of Sydney, the beaches are unspoilt, crowd-free and great for surfing or swimming. There’s dramatic scenery along the way with a range of unique heritage attractions. Bushwalking, boating, canoeing and fishing are also popular activities.
Featherdale Wildlife Park
Located 45 minutes west of Sydney, Featherdale has the world’s largest collection of Australian native birds, mammals (哺乳动物) and reptiles (爬行动物). Situated in a bushland environment, Featherdale provides a unique opportunity for up-close animal interactions (交往). Hand-feed a kangaroo, have breakfast with a koala and check out a huge variety of species including dingos, emus, penguins and more.
The Hawkesbury River
An hour north-west of Sydney, the Hawkesbury is one of New South Wales’ best-kept secrets. Experience what this picturesque region of waterways, farmland and national parks has to offer—from waterskiing and bushwalking to horse riding, river cruises and retail therapy.

【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段Located 45 minutes west of Sydney, Featherdale has the world’s largest collection of Australian native birds, mammals (哺乳动物) and reptiles (爬行动物).可知,在Featherdale Wildlife Park可以看到很多澳大利亚本土的鸟,哺乳动物和爬行动物等,所以如果是动物爱好者应该来这里,故选D。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段Bushwalking, boating, canoeing and fishing are also popular activities.以及最后一段Experience what this picturesque region of waterways, farmland and national parks has to offer—from waterskiing and bushwalking to horse riding, river cruises and retail therapy.可知,这两处的共同之处是都可以bushwalking,故选C。
【点睛】本篇文章脉络清晰,层次分明,学生很容易根据题干中的关键词定位到文章中的相应段落,所以难度很小。但是第三小题需要仔细阅读。根据题干中的关键词Royal National Park and The Hawkesbury River have in common可以快读定位到文章的第二和第四个景点介绍:Bushwalking, boating, canoeing and fishing are also popular activities.和from waterskiing and bushwalking to horse riding, river cruises and retail therapy.也很容易发现相同的活动有bushwalking。
B
Thai wildlife officials have laid out a plan to bring peace to a central Thai city after at least a decade of human-monkey conflict (冲突).
The monkeys that hang around Lopburi are a major tourist draw. But after years of conflicts with residents and visitors, and several failed attempts to bring peace with population controls, local people and businesses have had enough.
The monkeys often try to take food from humans, sometimes leaving people with injuries. In March a woman got her knee hurt after a monkey pulled her off her feel, and another man was knocked off a motorcycle by a hungry monkey.
The authorities hope to catch some 2,500 monkeys and place them in massive wildlife preserves, said Athapol Charoenshunsa, the director-general of the Department of National parks, Wildlife and plant Conservation. They’ll work with wildlife experts to find a way for a limited number of monkeys to stay freely in the city, he added.
“I don’t want humans to have to hurt monkeys, and I don’t want monkeys to have to hurt humans,” he told reporters during a news conference in Bangkok. “I expect the first period of the operation to start within weeks, and I believe the wildlife preserve will be able to contain (容纳) thousands of them and will solve the problem very quickly.”
Athapol said they are also working in other areas of Thailand that are facing problems with monkeys. He said 52 of the country’s 77 provinces often report monkey problems.
The monkeys are said to be a symbol of the province, about 140 kilometers north of Bangkok, where the ancient Three Pagodas temple celebrates a yearly “Monkey Buffet” festival. However, some have complained about the city’s monkey troubles on tourists and residents feeding the animals, which they say drew monkeys into the city, helped with their numbers, and got them used to getting food from humans.
4. What does the underlined phrase “have had enough” mean in Paragraph 2?
A. They are fond of those moneys. B. They hope to feed more monkeys.
C. They are troubled by those monkeys. D. They want to protect those monkeys.
5. How will the authorities deal with those monkeys?
A. Cut off the monkey’s food supply. B. Catch them for use as research subjects.
C. Enclose them in a zoo to entertain tourists. D. Cut down the numbers of them in the town.
6. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. The significance of those monkeys.
B. People’s different opinions on those monkeys.
C. The environmental problems caused by those monkeys.
D. Reasons why monkeys become a symbol of the province.
7. Which is the most suitable title for the text?
A. Thailand Residents Suffered from Too Many Tourists
B. Thailand Decides to Limit Monkeys in Tourist Town
C. Monkeys Serve Special Meaning in the Thailand Town
D. People in Thailand Try to Improve the Life of Monkeys
【答案】4. C 5. D 6. B 7. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道,主要讲述了泰国当地居民和游客与猴子的冲突,以及当地政府和野生动物专家为解决这个问题所采取的措施。
【4题详解】
词句猜测题。根据文章第二段“The monkeys that hang around Lopburi are a major tourist draw. But after years of conflicts with residents and visitors, and several failed attempts to bring peace with population controls…”(在华富里闲逛的猴子是吸引游客的主要景点。经过多年与居民和游客的冲突,以及多次试图通过数量控制来实现和平的失败尝试……)可推知,他们被那些猴子所困扰。“have had enough”表示当地人和商家已经对这些猴子的骚扰感到困扰,故选C。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段”The authorities hope to catch some 2,500 monkeys and place them in massive wildlife preserves, said Athapol Charoenshunsa, the director-general of the Department of National parks, Wildlife and plant Conservation. ”(当局希望捕捉大约2500只猴子,并将它们放置在大型的野生动物保护区中,国家公园、野生动物和植物保护部主任阿塔波尔·查罗恩顺萨说。)可推知,当局将通过捕捉猴子并将它们放置在野生动物保护区中来减少城市中的猴子数量,故选D。
【6题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“The monkeys are said to be a symbol of the province, about 140 kilometers north of Bangkok, where the ancient Three Pagodas temple celebrates a yearly “Monkey Buffet” festival. However, some have complained about the city’s monkey troubles on tourists and residents feeding the animals, which they say drew monkeys into the city, helped with their numbers, and got them used to getting food from humans”(据说这些猴子是该省的象征,位于曼谷以北约140公里处,那里古老的三塔寺每年都会庆祝“猴子自助餐”节。然而,一些人抱怨说,游客和居民喂养猴子给城市带来了麻烦,他们说,这吸引了猴子进入城市,帮助增加了它们的数量,并使它们习惯了从人类那里获取食物。)可知,本段主要讲述了人们对猴子的不同观点。故选B。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文内容,文章主要讲述了泰国当地居民和游客与猴子的冲突,以及当地政府和野生动物专家为解决这个问题所采取的措施,所以短文的标题为“泰国决定在旅游小镇限制猴子”。故选B。
C
In today’s world of fast-paced games and short videos, people are spending less and less time on things. For example, research has shown that the average visitor spends just 15 seconds on a website before moving on to other things. But the Internet is a huge and busy place, with millions of sites to choose from. You might expect people to slow down a bit more when they’re in museums full of great works of art. But you’d be wrong.
Several studies have shown that the amount of time for people to spend looking at a piece of art is ten seconds. Many people may spend more time, but not much more — the average is about 28 seconds. At the Tate Modern Museum in London, it’s even worse. People there spend an average of just eight seconds on each artwork. And in that short period of time, the visitors are also managing to do another important thing — take selfies !
In recent years museums have been working to change this behavior. Today, over 170 museums around the world are celebrating “Slow Art Day”. They are asking their visitors to spend at least 5-10 minutes looking at just one work of art. Slow Art supporters believe that when visitors spend more time looking at and studying the work of art, they admire it more. Studying a work of art for more time can also help people get a better understanding of the artist’s ideas and what the artist went through to create the work.
Most of the museums taking part in Slow Art Day are choosing just a few works for their visitors to see. Some of the museums are offering chances for visitors to talk about the artworks and share their ideas.
8. Generally speaking, people spend ______ on each piece of art in a museum.
A. 8 seconds B. 10 seconds C. 15 seconds D. 28 seconds
9. What do the underlined words “this behavior” refer to?
A. Admiring each artwork thoroughly. B. Taking selfies in museums busily.
C. Celebrating “Slow Art Day” widely. D. Looking at each artwork hurriedly.
10. Why is “Slow Art Day” created?
A. To attract more people to visit the museums
B. To stop visitors from taking selfies inside
C. To make people spend more time on each artwork
D. To give visitors an opportunity to relax themselves
11. Which of the following can be the best title of this passage?
A. Museums on the Rocks: Please Advise!
B. Museums: Slow down to Admire more!
C. Slow Art Day: a Fruit of Museums!
D. Museums: an Escape from the Fast-paced Life!
【答案】8. D 9. D 10. C 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。如今人们花在欣赏一件艺术品上的时间很短,所以博物馆正在努力改变这种行为。全世界170多家博物馆正在庆祝“慢艺术日”,他们要求参观者至少花5-10分钟的时间来欣赏一件艺术品
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Many people may spend more time, but not much more—the average is about 28 seconds.(许多人可能会花费更多的时间,但不会多很多——平均时间约为28秒。)”可知,一般来说,人们花28秒钟来欣赏博物馆里的每一件艺术品,故选D。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段“Several studies have shown that the amount of time for people to spend looking at a piece of art is ten seconds. Many people may spend more time, but not much more—the average is about 28 seconds. At the Tate Modern Museum in London, it’s even worse. People there spend an average of just eight seconds on each artwork. And in that short period of time, the visitors are also managing to do another important thing—take selfies !(一些研究表明,人们花在欣赏一件艺术品上的时间是十秒钟。许多人可能会花费更多的时间,但不会多很多——平均时间约为28秒。在伦敦的泰特现代美术馆,情况更糟。那里的人们在每件艺术品上平均只花费8秒钟。在这短短的时间里,游客们还做了另一件重要的事情——自拍!)”可知,现在游客在欣赏一件艺术品上的时间很短,即他们匆匆地看每一件艺术品。所以近年来,博物馆一直在努力改变这种行为。由此可推知,“this behavior”指的是匆匆地看每一件艺术品这种行为,故选D。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Today, over 170 museums around the world are celebrating “Slow Art Day”. They are asking their visitors to spend at least 5-10 minutes looking at just one work of art.(今天,全世界170多家博物馆正在庆祝“慢艺术日”。他们要求参观者至少花5-10分钟的时间来欣赏一件艺术品)”结合第二段提到的人们现在平均花费28秒欣赏艺术作品可知,“慢艺术日”要求参观者至少花5-10分钟的时间来欣赏一件艺术品,由此可推知,设立“慢艺术日”是为了让人们花更多的时间在每一件艺术品上,故选C。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第二段中“Several studies have shown that the amount of time for people to spend looking at a piece of art is ten seconds. Many people may spend more time, but not much more—the average is about 28 seconds. ( 一些研究表明,人们花在欣赏一件艺术品上的时间是十秒钟。许多人可能会花费更多的时间,但不会多很多——平均时间约为28秒。)”和第三段中“In recent years museums have been working to change this behavior. Today, over 170 museums around the world are celebrating “Slow Art Day”. They are asking their visitors to spend at least 5-10 minutes looking at just one work of art.(近年来,博物馆一直在努力改变这种行为。今天,全世界170多家博物馆正在庆祝“慢艺术日”。他们要求参观者至少花5-10分钟的时间来欣赏一件艺术品。)”可知,如今人们花在欣赏一件艺术品上的时间很短,所以博物馆正在努力改变这种行为。全世界170多家博物馆正在庆祝“慢艺术日”,他们要求参观者至少花5-10分钟的时间来欣赏一件艺术品。由此可知,B项“博物馆: 慢下来欣赏更多!”适合做文章标题,故选B。
I had just made a memorable speech, and I was about to learn how the judges decided my performance. The audience leaned forward and a period of silence fell across the room. I felt the drum rolled in my heart.
The third-place winner was announced. The name was not mine. Then the second-place winner, still not me. At last, the moment of truth came. I was about to either enjoy the warmth of victory or regret the months’ preparation. My heart felt closer to the latter.
Losing is a part of life, and I have dealt with it on more than one occasion. However, it was an indescribable feeling to drive a 200-mile round trip, get up very early on a freezing Saturday morning, and yet still finish fourth out of four competitors in my group.
I had spent many hours in front of a computer and in libraries doing research for the Lincoln Bicentennial (200周年) Speech Contest. After not placing (获得名次) in the first year of the contest, I really wanted to compete again. Lincoln had many failures, but he never allowed them to defeat his spirit or ambition, so I was not going to give up on a second contest! I reworked my speech for the following year, but again I did not place.
I couldn’t accept the fact that I failed twice in something that I had worked so hard on, until I thought about my hero. Never mind the lost prize money and praise—through learning stories about Lincoln, I discovered that I can fail successfully.
12. How did the author feel after finishing his speech?
A. Angry. B. Nervous. C. Confused. D. Hopeful.
13. What can be inferred from Paragraph 3?
A. He was regretful about his not being fully prepared.
B. He felt so disappointed and didn’t want to try again.
C. He felt upset for getting up early on a freezing morning.
D. He turned out to be the last one of his group in the contest.
14. Which of the following can best describe the author?
A. Brave and determined. B. outgoing and talented.
C. Enthusiastic and easygoing. D. creative and attractive.
15. What does the author want to tell us?
A. Stand up from where we fall.
B. Don’t rely too much on others.
C. Never mind others’ judgments.
D. Learn to value memories in our life.
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. A 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者参加演讲比赛失败了,但在林肯的鼓舞下,决定参加第二届比赛,虽然还是没有得到好的名次,但是通过学习关于林肯的故事,作者发现自己可以成功地失败。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“I felt the drum rolled in my heart. (我感到心里在打鼓)”可知,作者结束演讲后感觉紧张。故选B。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“However, it was an indescribable feeling to drive a 200-mile round trip, get up very early on a freezing Saturday morning, and yet still finish fourth out of four competitors in my group. (然而,这是一种难以形容的感觉,开车往返200英里,在一个寒冷的周六早上起得非常早,但仍然在我的小组四名竞争者中获得第四名。)”可推知,结果他是他组的最后一名。故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“I had spent many hours in front of a computer and in libraries doing research for the Lincoln Bicentennial (200周年) Speech Contest. After not placing (获得名次) in the first year of the contest, I really wanted to compete again. Lincoln had many failures, but he never allowed them to defeat his spirit or ambition, so I was not going to give up on a second contest! (我花了很多时间在电脑前和图书馆里为林肯200周年纪念演讲比赛做研究。在比赛的第一年没有获得名次之后,我真的很想再参加一次比赛。林肯失败过很多次,但他从不让失败击垮他的精神和抱负,所以我不打算放弃第二次竞选!)”可知作者虽然演讲比赛失败了,但是仍然继续为演讲做研究,为林肯的精神所鼓舞,决定参加第二届演讲比赛,可推断作者是勇敢而坚定的,故选A。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“I couldn’t accept the fact that I failed twice in something that I had worked so hard on, until I thought about my hero. Never mind the lost prize money and praise—through learning stories about Lincoln, I discovered that I can fail successfully. (我无法接受自己曾经两次失败的事实,直到我想起了我心目中的英雄。虽然失去了奖金和赞扬,但通过学习林肯的故事,我发现我也可以成功地失败。)”结合文章主要讲述了作者参加演讲比赛失败了,但在林肯的鼓舞下,决定参加第二届比赛,虽然还是没有得到好的名次,但是通过学习关于林肯的故事,作者发现自己可以成功地失败。可推断作者想告诉我们要从我们绊倒的地方站起来。故选A。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了一个叫萨凡纳的女孩制作感恩卡片来感恩消防员们的故事。
【36题详解】
考查冠词。句意:萨凡纳是一个来自德克萨斯州的女孩。因为这里是首次提到这个女孩,所以用不定冠词表泛指,又因为girl发音为辅音音素开头,所以用a。故填a。
【37题详解】
考查被动语态。句意:在听到消防员的牺牲后,她被他们所面临的风险所感动,所以萨凡纳为他们制作了200张感谢卡。根据下文的made可知,本句的时态为一般过去时,再根据空格后的by可知,此处表示“被感动”,所以要用一般过去时的被动语态,又因为主语是第三人人称单数,所以be动词用was。故填was moved。
【38题详解】
考查动词不定式。句意:我想表达我对他们的关心。根据空格前的want可知,此处用动词不定式作宾语构成固定搭配want to do sth表示“想要做某事”。故填to show。
【39题详解】
考查动名词。句意:萨凡纳决定继续做卡片。根据空格前的keep可知,此处用动名词作宾语构成固定搭配keep doing sth表示“保持一直做某事”。故填making。
【40题详解】
考查动词的时态。句意:在那段时间里,她在与英雄们见面时发送了1600张卡片和一口大小的糖果。根据上文woke up可知,本句表过去动作,再根据本句时间状语In that time可知,本句为一般过去时。故填 sent。
【41题详解】
考查名词。句意:同上。根据下文的复数名词firemen可知,此处应该用提示词的复数形式heroes指与“英雄们”见面。故填heroes。
【42题详解】
考查代词。句意:萨凡纳曾经因为害羞而不敢在学校发表演讲,现在她很容易就能定期对消防员和学生讲话。分析句式结构可知,此处用代词it作形式主语,真正的主语是后面的动词不定式。故填it。
【43题详解】
考查介词。句意:她和过去大不相同了。根据空格前的different可知,此处用介词from构成固定搭配be different from表示“与……不同”。故填from。
【44题详解】
考查形容词。句意:她说她非常感谢他们!根据空格前的how可知,how+形容词构成感叹句结构,所以此处应该用提示词的形容词形式thankful作表语。故填thankful。
【45题详解】
考查副词。句意:萨凡纳认为,走出去做点什么真的能够有所作为。分析句式结构可知,此处用提示词的副词形式really作状语修饰短语make a difference。故填really。

【答案】Dear Alice,
I am worried to know that you should be so addicted to TikTok these days. Playing with TikTok too much is bad for your health. Besides, if you spend so much time on it, I’m afraid you will fall behind your classmates sooner or later.
In my opinion, you should find something interesting to do if you want to relax. For example, take a walk on the playground with your friends. Alternatively, you can chat with your classmates, which will cheer you up. It doesn’t mean that TikTok should be completely refused in our life, but playing too much will surely affect our study.
I know you have a strong will and you are clever. I believe you can get rid of this bad habit quite soon.

Mother’s Day was around the corner. Everyone in the class was discussing what gift they should give to their beloved moms. Their teacher, Ms. Jenkins, was instructing them to make pretty postcards with a soulful message.
On Monday morning, Ms. Jenkins entered the classroom. Before she could say something to greet the kids as usual, 8-year-old Simon raised his hand as quickly as possible.
“Yes, Simon?” asked the teacher with a questioning look and the big smile often hanging on her face.
“Excuse me, Ms. Jenkins. What did you get for Mother’s Day?” he inquired.
All his classmates looked at their teacher and Ms. Jenkins smiled again, struggling to hide her sadness, which flashed across her face. “Sadly, nothing. Simon, I don’t have kids.”
Simon felt sorry for his teacher. He could not figure why. It seemed unfair that she didn’t receive anything for Mother’s Day when she was surrounded by kids all the time. She should have received something. Suddenly a good idea hit him.
That afternoon, school over, Simon flew home like a rabbit. After having finished counting the few dollars in his piggy bank, he asked his mother to take him to the flower shop nearby.
When they got in the car, Simon explained to his mother what he would do. Having understood the whole story, his mother looked at him with a loving expression.
The following day, Simon arrived at his classroom with a bunch of flowers and presented it to Ms. Jenkins with a bright smile. “I know you’re not a mother, but you treat us with kindness, affection and patience. You surely deserve a Mother’s Day gift, too,” he said to his teacher, whose jaw dropped in shock. The other kids applauded as Simon hugged Ms. Jenkins.

【答案】
Astonished and joyful, Ms. Jenkins stood there still. Her eyes welled up with tears as she tightly held the vibrant bouquet, overwhelmed by the unexpected surprise and the genuine love from her student. She had never imagined that her role as a teacher could be acknowledged in such a heartfelt way on Mother’s Day. Simon’s words echoed in her mind, reminding her that the love and care she bestowed upon her students were truly valued. As she regained her calmness, she pulled Simon into a warm embrace, whispering her deepest gratitude into his ear.
The other kids came up one by one. Some brought handmade cards with glitter and hearts, others offered carefully crafted paper flowers, and a few shared heartfelt hugs. The atmosphere in the classroom was filled with a sense of warmth and tenderness. Ms. Jenkins, moved to tears, thanked each child individually, making sure they knew how cherished and valued they were. That Mother’s Day, Ms. Jenkins received the greatest gift of all—a reminder that the seeds of love and kindness she sowed daily blossomed into a garden of gratitude in the hearts of her children. And as for Simon, he learned an invaluable lesson about empathy and the power of small acts of kindness, which can brighten someone’s world immeasurably.

It may seem hard to leave Sydney’s attractions and sights, but when the urge arises to explore beyond the city, many exceptional day trips await travelers.
Scenic World
On a visit to the World heritage-listed Blue Mountains, enjoy clean fresh air and breath-taking landscapes of ancient rainforests. Scenic World in Katoomba is the best way to access the beauty of this region. Besides climbing, you can choose cablecars, elevated boardwalks or the Scenic Railway—the world’s steepest train travelling through a rock tunnel, to reach the mountain top.
Royal National Park
Established in 1879, the Royal is the world’s second-oldest national park. Located an hour’s drive south of Sydney, the beaches are unspoilt, crowd-free and great for surfing or swimming. There’s dramatic scenery along the way with a range of unique heritage attractions. Bushwalking, boating, canoeing and fishing are also popular activities.
Featherdale Wildlife Park
Located 45 minutes west of Sydney, Featherdale has the world’s largest collection of Australian native birds, mammals (哺乳动物) and reptiles (爬行动物). Situated in a bushland environment, Featherdale provides a unique opportunity for up-close animal interactions (交往). Hand-feed a kangaroo, have breakfast with a koala and check out a huge variety of species including dingos, emus, penguins and more.
The Hawkesbury River
An hour north-west of Sydney, the Hawkesbury is one of New South Wales’ best-kept secrets. Experience what this picturesque region of waterways, farmland and national parks has to offer—from waterskiing and bushwalking to horse riding, river cruises and retail therapy.

Thai wildlife officials have laid out a plan to bring peace to a central Thai city after at least a decade of human-monkey conflict (冲突).
The monkeys that hang around Lopburi are a major tourist draw. But after years of conflicts with residents and visitors, and several failed attempts to bring peace with population controls, local people and businesses have had enough.
The monkeys often try to take food from humans, sometimes leaving people with injuries. In March a woman got her knee hurt after a monkey pulled her off her feel, and another man was knocked off a motorcycle by a hungry monkey.
The authorities hope to catch some 2,500 monkeys and place them in massive wildlife preserves, said Athapol Charoenshunsa, the director-general of the Department of National parks, Wildlife and plant Conservation. They’ll work with wildlife experts to find a way for a limited number of monkeys to stay freely in the city, he added.
“I don’t want humans to have to hurt monkeys, and I don’t want monkeys to have to hurt humans,” he told reporters during a news conference in Bangkok. “I expect the first period of the operation to start within weeks, and I believe the wildlife preserve will be able to contain (容纳) thousands of them and will solve the problem very quickly.”
Athapol said they are also working in other areas of Thailand that are facing problems with monkeys He said 52 of the country’s 77 provinces often report monkey problems.
The monkeys are said to be a symbol of the province, about 140 kilometers north of Bangkok, where the ancient Three Pagodas temple celebrates a yearly “Monkey Buffet” festival. However, some have complained about the city’s monkey troubles on tourists and residents feeding the animals, which they say drew monkeys into the city, helped with their numbers, and got them used to getting food from humans.
4. What does the underlined phrase “have had enough” mean in Paragraph 2?
A. They are fond of those moneys. B. They hope to feed more monkeys.
C. They are troubled by those monkeys. D. They want to protect those monkeys.
5. How will the authorities deal with those monkeys?
A. Cut off the monkey’s food supply. B. Catch them for use as research subjects.
C. Enclose them in a zoo to entertain tourists. D. Cut down the numbers of them in the town.
6. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. The significance of those monkeys.
B. People’s different opinions on those monkeys.
C. The environmental problems caused by those monkeys.
D. Reasons why monkeys become a symbol of the province.
7. Which is the most suitable title for the text?
A. Thailand Residents Suffered from Too Many Tourists
B. Thailand Decides to Limit Monkeys in Tourist Town
C. Monkeys Serve Special Meaning in the Thailand Town
D. People in Thailand Try to Improve the Life of Monkeys
C
In today’s world of fast-paced games and short videos, people are spending less and less time on things. For example, research has shown that the average visitor spends just 15 seconds on a website before moving on to other things. But the Internet is a huge and busy place, with millions of sites to choose from. You might expect people to slow down a bit more when they’re in museums full of great works of art. But you’d be wrong.
Several studies have shown that the amount of time for people to spend looking at a piece of art is ten seconds. Many people may spend more time, but not much more — the average is about 28 seconds. At the Tate Modern Museum in London, it’s even worse. People there spend an average of just eight seconds on each artwork. And in that short period of time, the visitors are also managing to do another important thing — take selfies !
In recent years museums have been working to change this behavior. Today, over 170 museums around the world are celebrating “Slow Art Day”. They are asking their visitors to spend at least 5-10 minutes looking at just one work of art. Slow Art supporters believe that when visitors spend more time looking at and studying the work of art, they admire it more. Studying a work of art for more time can also help people get a better understanding of the artist’s ideas and what the artist went through to create the work.
Most of the museums taking part in Slow Art Day are choosing just a few works for their visitors to see. Some of the museums are offering chances for visitors to talk about the artworks and share their ideas.
8. Generally speaking, people spend ______ on each piece of art in a museum.
A. 8 seconds B. 10 seconds C. 15 seconds D. 28 seconds
9 What do the underlined words “this behavior” refer to?
A. Admiring each artwork thoroughly. B. Taking selfies in museums busily.
C. Celebrating “Slow Art Day” widely. D. Looking at each artwork hurriedly.
10. Why is “Slow Art Day” created?
A. To attract more people to visit the museums
B. To stop visitors from taking selfies inside
C. To make people spend more time on each artwork
D. To give visitors an opportunity to relax themselves
11. Which of the following can be the best title of this passage?
A. Museums on the Rocks: Please Advise!
B. Museums: Slow down to Admire more!
C. Slow Art Day: a Fruit of Museums!
D. Museums: an Escape from the Fast-paced Life!
I had just made a memorable speech, and I was about to learn how the judges decided my performance. The audience leaned forward and a period of silence fell across the room. I felt the drum rolled in my heart.
The third-place winner was announced. The name was not mine. Then the second-place winner, still not me. At last, the moment of truth came. I was about to either enjoy the warmth of victory or regret the months’ preparation. My heart felt closer to the latter.
Losing is a part of life, and I have dealt with it on more than one occasion. However, it was an indescribable feeling to drive a 200-mile round trip, get up very early on a freezing Saturday morning, and yet still finish fourth out of four competitors in my group.
I had spent many hours in front of a computer and in libraries doing research for the Lincoln Bicentennial (200周年) Speech Contest. After not placing (获得名次) in the first year of the contest, I really wanted to compete again. Lincoln had many failures, but he never allowed them to defeat his spirit or ambition, so I was not going to give up on a second contest! I reworked my speech for the following year, but again I did not place.
I couldn’t accept the fact that I failed twice in something that I had worked so hard on, until I thought about my hero. Never mind the lost prize money and praise—through learning stories about Lincoln, I discovered that I can fail successfully.
12. How did the author feel after finishing his speech?
A. Angry. B. Nervous. C. Confused. D. Hopeful.
13. What can be inferred from Paragraph 3?
A. He was regretful about his not being fully prepared.
B. He felt so disappointed and didn’t want to try again.
C. He felt upset for getting up early on a freezing morning.
D. He turned out to be the last one of his group in the contest.
14. Which of the following can best describe the author?
A. Brave and determined. B. outgoing and talented.
C. Enthusiastic and easygoing. D. creative and attractive.
15. What does the author want to tell us?

Mother’s Day was around the corner. Everyone in the class was discussing what gift they should give to their beloved moms. Their teacher, Ms. Jenkins, was instructing them to make pretty postcards with a soulful message.
On Monday morning, Ms. Jenkins entered the classroom. Before she could say something to greet the kids as usual, 8-year-old Simon raised his hand as quickly as possible.
“Yes, Simon?” asked the teacher with a questioning look and the big smile often hanging on her face.
“Excuse me, Ms. Jenkins. What did you get for Mother’s Day?” he inquired.
All his classmates looked at their teacher and Ms. Jenkins smiled again, struggling to hide her sadness, which flashed across her face. “Sadly, nothing. Simon, I don’t have kids.”
Simon felt sorry for his teacher. He could not figure why. It seemed unfair that she didn’t receive anything for Mother’s Day when she was surrounded by kids all the time. She should have received something. Suddenly a good idea hit him.
That afternoon, school over, Simon flew home like a rabbit. After having finished counting the few dollars in his piggy bank, he asked his mother to take him to the flower shop nearby.
When they got in the car, Simon explained to his mother what he would do. Having understood the whole story, his mother looked at him with a loving expression.
The following day, Simon arrived at his classroom with a bunch of flowers and presented it to Ms. Jenkins with a bright smile. “I know you’re not a mother, but you treat us with kindness, affection and patience. You surely deserve a Mother’s Day gift, too,” he said to his teacher, whose jaw dropped in shock. The other kids applauded as Simon hugged Ms. Jenkins.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Astonished and joyful, Ms. Jenkins stood there still.
