Here’s a list of places that we think will be suitable for your kids. Swimming pools Simple way for happiness: mix kids with water. Of course, this is a choice for the hot summer months. Parks Free outdoor fun—that’s what Brisbane’s parks offer kids of all ages. Parks encourage imagination and activity for little people and a place for parents to let them run wild. The Children’s Art Centre The Children’s Art Centre is very popular with their programs and exhibitions. We love the artist-run workshops and performances (unusually you must pay some money) specially designed for children too. South Bank Parklands South Bank Parklands has everything you need to keep little ones happy. Take them for a swim at the man-made beach, play on one of the playgrounds by the river. On weekends, go through the arts market or go to a cheap movie at the South Bank cinema. South Bank Parklands often hosts free events and performances too. Roma Street Parkland Close to bus transport, this inner city parkland is easily accessible (可进入的) and ideal for kids of all ages. Younger kids can take a trip on the Jellybean Express, a 1.3 km trackless train ride around the parkland or there’s a playground to explore. Free entry and open daily. Skating and climbing We love the places that let the kids expend all that youthful energy. Take them roller skating or ice skating. Or try rock climbing at a variety of indoor and outdoor places around Brisbane 1. If your kids want to watch performances for free, you can take them to ________. A. South Bank Parklands B. Roma Street Parkland C. The Children’s Art Centre D. Parks 2. What can we know about Roma Street Parkland? A. It opens only at weekends. B. Only younger kids can visit it. C. We need not buy tickets for a visit. D. You have to walk when visiting it 3. What does the text mainly talk about? A. Some interesting places for kids in Brisbane B. How to travel in Brisbane. C. The best time to visit Brisbane. D. Brisbane—a beautiful city in Australia B Parents do not owe (欠) their children a college education. If they can afford it, they can certainly send them to a good university. But they needn’t feel guilty (愧疚的) if they can’t. When children grow up and want to get married, their parents do not owe them an apartment. They do not have the duty to look after their grandchildren, either. If they want to do it, it must be considered a favor, not an obligation. Do parents owe their children anything? Yes, they owe them a great deal. One of their obligations is to give their children a personal worth. Children who are always made to feel stupid and unworthy, constantly compared with brighter brothers, sisters, or cousins will become so unsure, so afraid of failing that they won’t try at all. Of course, they should be properly corrected when they do wrong, but it’s often better to let children learn their mistakes by themselves in time. All their parents should do is to trust them, respect them, understand them and give them chances to try and fail. They must learn to stand failure. When criticisms (批评) are really needed, they should be balanced with a smile and a kiss. That is the way children learn. Parents owe their children a set of solid values around which to build their lives. This means teaching them to respect the rights and opinions of others. Also, it means being respectful to elders, to teachers, and to the law. The best way to teach such values is by deed. A child who is lied to will lie. A child who sees no laughter and no love in the home will have difficulty laughing and loving. No child asks to be born. If you bring a life into the world, you owe the child something. 4. The author thinks parents ________. A. should send their children to college B. should support their children after they get married C. need to buy an apartment for their children D. needn’t feel guilty if they can’t send their children to universities 5. What does the underlined word “obligation” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Right. B. Promise. C. Duty. D. Excuse. 6. According to the passage, what should parents do when children make mistakes? A. Understand them and tell them not to do that again. B. Let them learn the mistakes by themselves in time. C. Compare them with brighter brothers or sisters. D. Correct their mistakes immediately. 7. Whom is the text written for? A. Parents. B. Teenagers. C. Teachers. D. Officials. C Being connected to the Internet has become a necessary part of modern life. Some people actually need it as they cannot do their jobs without it, and others simply feel they need it as they cannot imagine life without it. To think that something that did not even exist 50 years ago has come to play a crucial role in our lives like this in just about 15 years makes one wonder-just what will the future bring? In 2004, a survey was conducted in the US asking a group of technology experts their opinions on the Internet in the next ten years. 57% of them agreed that virtual classes will be more widely adopted in schools, allowing students to learn with those at the same level and with interests in the same subjects. It’s quite possible that, by the year 2030, every child in every school will do all their schoolwork on their own laptop with all their textbooks available (现成可使用的) on the Internet. No more heavy books to carry around and no more pens and paper! At work, we already use email to deal with people both inside and outside our offices and video conferencing (电话会议) is occurring more frequently. This means that meetings can be held between offices in different countries without the trouble caused by business travel. Business travel will stop to exist in the future, and so will offices as people all start to work from home. It has also become a trend for people to use pocket computers such as Blackberries. With this helpful equipment, people can send and receive emails, surf the Web, and read multimedia files from absolutely anywhere even if we are on a beach holiday. The Internet will have a revolutionary (突破性的) effect on entertainment in the future. Already we can buy and download music and movies from the Internet, but it is still possible for us to buy a CD or go to the DVD stores to rent the latest movies. However, it’s quite a pity that in the future, CD shops and DVD rental stores will close, and cinemas will no longer exist. Entertainment will become completely virtual although hopefully people will still want to get outside to play sports and entertain themselves in more healthy ways. With the Internet we need only relax in the rocking chair. The Internet, however, has problems to be solved. 8. The expression “play a crucial role in” can be understood as “________” A. change a dull role into B. play an interesting part in C. have an important effect on D. act a cruel character in 9. According to the passage, people are satisfied with all the following changes EXCEPT that ________. A. people won’t have to make business travel any more thanks to the video conference B. virtual classes can make students’ dream of getting rid of their schoolbags come true C. people can be kept informed anytime and anywhere with the help of convenient equipment D. CD shops and cinemas will shut down as a result of the adoption of virtual entertainment 10. What will the writer probably discuss after the last paragraph? A. Bad effects the Internet can have on us. B. The possible school life in the future C. More excitements the Internet will bring us. D. The likely ways to solve the problems. 11. What is probably the best title for the passage? A. Virtual reality, our best friend! B. What will future life be like with the Internet? C. Goodbye, textbooks and offices! D. How can human beings deal with the Internet? D No high school is alike in the United States, but there is one tradition that nearly every school has: senior prank (恶作剧). Linganore is no exception (例外), and this year the class of 2023 certainly lived up to your expectations. Like many senior pranks there were many different ideas, one of which was to take every desk and chair out of classes and put them in the stadium. Fortunately for Linganore teachers, this concept was not put into action; instead, the students stuck with the classic method of throwing paper on anything and everything. Next, some seniors used balloons to totally fill the stairs on Main Street closest to the front entrance. Many seniors parked in the worst ways possible throughout the parking lots. Cole Simmonds arrived at school before much of the chaos started. Along with witnessing seniors throw paper on trees, Simmonds’car was a victim of the prank when it was attacked with water balloons. In addition to being annoyed by the water balloons, Simmonds was also unhappy with the lack of originality from the seniors. The last part of the seniors’ final day included a Slip & Slide placed at the top of the hill behind the school that went down to the lower parking lot. To prevent injury, a teacher supervised the seniors’ Slip & Slide to ensure safety. The goals of the Slip Slide were not only to make the seniors’ last day something to remember but to encourage students to participate in fun activities permitted by the school. Although not as humorous or creative as some believed it could have been, the Slip & Slide and balloons in the stairs were very impressive and were good aspects of this year’s prank. Hopefully, the class of 2024 will do something that not only avoids annoying people but is also funny. 12. What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us? A. Different pranks the seniors did. B. Side effects senior pranks bad. C. Traditional pranks in Linganore. D. Desired aims of senior pranks. 13. What is Simmonds’ attitude toward the senior prank this year? A. Worried. B. Displeased. C. Doubtful. D. Unconcerned 14. What does the underlined word “supervised” mean in paragraph 4? A. Took pride in. B. Entered for. C. Benefited from. D. Took charge of. 15. Where does this text probably come from? A. A sports magazine. B. A travel brochure. C. A school website. D. A science fiction. 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。 Much of the work in today’s world is accomplished (完成) in teams. Most people believe the best way to build a great team is to gather a group of the most talented individuals. ____16____ Companies spend millions hiring top business people. Is their money well spent? ____17____ They focused on football, basketball and baseball. The results are mixed. For football and basketball, adding talented players to a team proves a good method, but only up to the point where 70% of the players are top talent; above that level, the team’s performance begins to decline. Interestingly, this trend isn’t evident in baseball, where additional individual talent keeps improving the team’s performance. To explain this phenomenon, the researchers explored the degree to which a good performance by a team requires its members to coordinate (协调) their actions. ____18____ In baseball, the performance of individual players is less dependent on teammates. They conclude that when task interdependence is high, team performance will suffer when there is too much talent, while individual talent will have positive effects on team performance when task interdependence is lower. If a basketball star is, for example, trying to gain a high personal point total, he may take a shot himself when it would be better to pass the ball to a teammate, affecting the team’s performance. Young children learning to play team sports are often told, “There is no I in TEAM.” ____19____ Another possibility is that when there is a lot of talent on a team, some players may make less effort. Just as in a game of tug-of-war (拔河比赛), whenever a person is added, everyone else pulls the rope with less force. ____20____ An A-team may require a balance—not just A players, but a few generous B players as well. A. It’s not a simple matter to determine the nature of talent. B. Sports team owners spend millions of dollars attracting top talent. C. The group interaction and its effect drew the researchers’ attention. D. Stars apparently do not follow this basic principle of sportsmanship. E. Several recent studies examined the role of talent in the sports world. F. Building up a dream team is more complex than simply hiring the best talent. G. This task interdependence distinguishes baseball from football and basketball. 第三部分 完形填空 （共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Jenna had graduated from middle school and was ready for new ____21____ in high school. ____22____, high school was different.

If they can afford it, they can certainly send them to a good university. But they needn’t feel guilty (愧疚的) if they can’t. When children grow up and want to get married, their parents do not owe them an apartment. They do not have the duty to look after their grandchildren, either. If they want to do it, it must be considered a favor, not an obligation. Do parents owe their children anything? Yes, they owe them a great deal. One of their obligations is to give their children a personal worth. Children who are always made to feel stupid and unworthy, constantly compared with brighter brothers, sisters, or cousins will become so unsure, so afraid of failing that they won’t try at all. Of course, they should be properly corrected when they do wrong, but it’s often better to let children learn their mistakes by themselves in time. All their parents should do is to trust them, respect them, understand them and give them chances to try and fail. They must learn to stand failure. When criticisms (批评) are really needed, they should be balanced with a smile and a kiss. That is the way children learn. Parents owe their children a set of solid values around which to build their lives. This means teaching them to respect the rights and opinions of others. Also, it means being respectful to elders, to teachers, and to the law. The best way to teach such values is by deed. A child who is lied to will lie. A child who sees no laughter and no love in the home will have difficulty laughing and loving. No child asks to be born. If you bring a life into the world, you owe the child something. 4. The author thinks parents ________. A. should send their children to college B. should support their children after they get married C. need to buy an apartment for their children D. needn’t feel guilty if they can’t send their children to universities 5. What does the underlined word “obligation” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Right. B. Promise. C. Duty. D. Excuse. 6. According to the passage, what should parents do when children make mistakes? A. Understand them and tell them not to do that again. B. Let them learn the mistakes by themselves in time. C. Compare them with brighter brothers or sisters. D. Correct their mistakes immediately. 7. Whom is the text written for? A. Parents. B. Teenagers. C. Teachers. D. Officials. 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讨论了父母对孩子的责任。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Parents do not owe (欠) their children a college education…But they needn’t feel guilty (愧疚的) if they can’t.”可知，父母若不能供孩子上大学也不必感到愧疚，故选D。 5题详解】 词义推测题。根据“If they want to do it, it must be considered a favor, not an obligation.”可知，此处说了“必须被视为一种恩惠，而不是……”，因此划线词obligation意为“责任，义务”，故选C。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Of course, they should be properly corrected when they do wrong, but it’s often better to let children learn their mistakes by themselves in time.”可知，父母最好让孩子自己从错误中吸取教训，故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，文章讨论父母与子女关系及教育问题，主要是写给父母看的，故选A。 C Being connected to the Internet has become a necessary part of modern life. Some people actually need it as they cannot do their jobs without it, and others simply feel they need it as they cannot imagine life without it. To think that something that did not even exist 50 years ago has come to play a crucial role in our lives like this in just about 15 years makes one wonder-just what will the future bring? In 2004, a survey was conducted in the US asking a group of technology experts their opinions on the Internet in the next ten years. 57% of them agreed that virtual classes will be more widely adopted in schools, allowing students to learn with those at the same level and with interests in the same subjects. It’s quite possible that, by the year 2030, every child in every school will do all their schoolwork on their own laptop with all their textbooks available (现成可使用的) on the Internet. No more heavy books to carry around and no more pens and paper! At work, we already use email to deal with people both inside and outside our offices and video conferencing (电话会议) is occurring more frequently. This means that meetings can be held between offices in different countries without the trouble caused by business travel. Business travel will stop to exist in the future, and so will offices as people all start to work from home. It has also become a trend for people to use pocket computers such as Blackberries. With this helpful equipment, people can send and receive emails, surf the Web, and read multimedia files from absolutely anywhere even if we are on a beach holiday. The Internet will have a revolutionary (突破性的) effect on entertainment in the future. Already we can buy and download music and movies from the Internet, but it is still possible for us to buy a CD or go to the DVD stores to rent the latest movies. However, it’s quite a pity that in the future, CD shops and DVD rental stores will close, and cinemas will no longer exist. Entertainment will become completely virtual although hopefully people will still want to get outside to play sports and entertain themselves in more healthy ways. With the Internet we need only relax in the rocking chair. The Internet, however, has problems to be solved. 8. The expression “play a crucial role in” can be understood as “________” A. change a dull role into B. play an interesting part in C. have an important effect on D. act a cruel character in 9. According to the passage, people are satisfied with all the following changes EXCEPT that ________. A. people won’t have to make business travel any more thanks to the video conference B. virtual classes can make students’ dream of getting rid of their schoolbags come true C people can be kept informed anytime and anywhere with the help of convenient equipment D. CD shops and cinemas will shut down as a result of the adoption of virtual entertainment 10. What will the writer probably discuss after the last paragraph? A. Bad effects the Internet can have on us. B. The possible school life in the future C. More excitements the Internet will bring us. D. The likely ways to solve the problems. 11. What is probably the best title for the passage? A. Virtual reality, our best friend! B. What will future life be like with the Internet? C. Goodbye, textbooks and offices! D. How can human beings deal with the Internet? 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了互联网将对人们未来的生活带来的便利影响。当然，它依然存在许多问题有待解决。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段“Being connected to the Internet has become …they cannot imagine life without it.”互联网已经成为现代生活中必不可少的一部分，有些人确实需要它，因为他们的工作离不开它，而另一些人只是觉得他们需要它，因为他们无法想象没有它的生活，由此可知，互联网在人们生活中扮演了重要的角色。所以，play a crucial role in为“扮演至关重要的角色”之意，与C项“对……有重要影响”意思一样。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“However, it’s quite a pity that in the…entertain themselves in more healthy ways.”娱乐将变得完全虚拟，尽管人们仍希望到户外运动，以更健康的方式娱乐自己。由此可知，人们不希望CD店，DVD店和电影院等娱乐场所的关闭。故选D。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。通读文章可知，主要讲述互联网给人们生活带来的便利影响。根据最后一段“The Internet, however, has problems to be solved.”互联网也有一些问题需要解决。由此可推断，下文可能会讲到互联网的不足之处。故选A。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“To think that something that did …makes one wonder-just what will the future bring?”在我们的生活中扮演了至关重要的角色，这不禁让人想知道，未来会带来什么？并结合全文可知，文章主要介绍了互联网将对人们未来的生活带来的便利影响，B项“有了互联网，未来的生活会是什么样子？”适合做文章标题。故选B。 D No high school is alike in the United States, but there is one tradition that nearly every school has: senior prank (恶作剧). Linganore is no exception (例外), and this year the class of 2023 certainly lived up to your expectations. Like many senior pranks, there were many different ideas, one of which was to take every desk and chair out of classes and put them in the stadium. Fortunately for Linganore teachers, this concept was not put into action; instead, the students stuck with the classic method of throwing paper on anything and everything. Next, some seniors used balloons to totally fill the stairs on Main Street closest to the front entrance. Many seniors parked in the worst ways possible throughout the parking lots. Cole Simmonds arrived at school before much of the chaos started. Along with witnessing seniors throw paper on trees, Simmonds’car was a victim of the prank when it was attacked with water balloons. In addition to being annoyed by the water balloons, Simmonds was also unhappy with the lack of originality from the seniors. The last part of the seniors’ final day included a Slip & Slide placed at the top of the hill behind the school that went down to the lower parking lot. To prevent injury, a teacher supervised the seniors’ Slip & Slide to ensure safety. The goals of the Slip Slide were not only to make the seniors’ last day something to remember but to encourage students to participate in fun activities permitted by the school. Although not as humorous or creative as some believed it could have been, the Slip & Slide and balloons in the stairs were very impressive and were good aspects of this year’s prank. Hopefully, the class of 2024 will do something that not only avoids annoying people but is also funny. 12. What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us? A Different pranks the seniors did. B. Side effects senior pranks bad. C. Traditional pranks in Linganore. D. Desired aims of senior pranks. 13. What is Simmonds’ attitude toward the senior prank this year? A. Worried. B. Displeased. C. Doubtful. D. Unconcerned 14. What does the underlined word “supervised” mean in paragraph 4? A. Took pride in. B. Entered for. C. Benefited from. D. Took charge of. 15. Where does this text probably come from? A. A sports magazine. B. A travel brochure. C. A school website. D. A science fiction. 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了Linganore高中高年级恶作剧的情况。 【12题详解】 段落大意题。根据“Like many senior pranks, there were many different ideas, one of which was to take every desk and chair out of classes and put them in the stadium.”以及“Next, some seniors used balloons to totally fill the stairs on Main Street closest to the front entrance. Many seniors parked in the worst ways possible throughout the parking lots.”可知，第二段主要介绍了高年级学生做了不同的恶作剧。故选A。 【13题详解】 观点态度题。根据“In addition to being annoyed by the water balloons, Simmonds was also unhappy with the lack of originality from the seniors.”可知，除了对水球感到恼火之外，Simmonds对高年级学生缺乏独创性感到不满。故选B。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“To prevent injury, a teacher supervised the seniors’ Slip & Slide to ensure safety.”可知，为了确保安全防止受伤，一名老师监督高年级学生的滑梯。故“supervised”与“Took charge of.”语义相近。故选D。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文内容可知，本文讲述了Linganore高中高年级恶作剧的情况。故可推知，本文可能来自于学校网站。故选C。 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。 Much of the work in today’s world is accomplished (完成) in teams. Most people believe the best way to build a great team is to gather a group of the most talented individuals. ____16____ Companies spend millions hiring top business people. Is their money well spent? ____17____ They focused on football, basketball and baseball. The results are mixed. For football and basketball, adding talented players to a team proves a good method, but only up to the point where 70% of the players are top talent; above that level, the team’s performance begins to decline. Interestingly, this trend isn’t evident in baseball, where additional individual talent keeps improving the team’s performance. To explain this phenomenon, the researchers explored the degree to which a good performance by a team requires its members to coordinate (协调) their actions. ____18____ In baseball, the performance of individual players is less dependent on teammates. They conclude that when task interdependence is high, team performance will suffer when there is too much talent, while individual talent will have positive effects on team performance when task interdependence is lower. If a basketball star is, for example, trying to gain a high personal point total, he may take a shot himself when it would be better to pass the ball to a teammate, affecting the team’s performance. Young children learning to play team sports are often told, “There is no I in TEAM.” ____19____ Another possibility is that when there is a lot of talent on a team, some players may make less effort. Just as in a game of tug-of-war (拔河比赛), whenever a person is added, everyone else pulls the rope with less force. ____20____ An A-team may require a balance—not just A players, but a few generous B players as well. A. It’s not a simple matter to determine the nature of talent. B Sports team owners spend millions of dollars attracting top talent. C. The group interaction and its effect drew the researchers’ attention. D. Stars apparently do not follow this basic principle of sportsmanship. E. Several recent studies examined the role of talent in the sports world. F. Building up a dream team is more complex than simply hiring the best talent. G. This task interdependence distinguishes baseball from football and basketball. 【答案】16. B 17. E 18. G 19. D 20. F 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲了建立一支最佳阵容球队比简单地雇佣最优秀的人才要复杂得多，一支一流球队可能需要一种平衡——不仅仅需要最好的球员，也需要一些有雅量的普通球员。 【16题详解】 根据上文“Most people believe the best way to build a great team is to gather a group of the most talented individuals.”及下文“Companies spend millions hiring top business people.”并结合选项可知，大多数人认为建立一个伟大团队的最佳方式是聚集一群最有才华的人，下文是在举例说明，所以空处也应是举例来说明，选项B“运动队老板花费数百万美元吸引顶尖人才。”符合语境。故选B。 【17题详解】 根据下文内容可知，该段介绍对足球、篮球及棒球所做的实验以及得到的实验结果，选项E“最近的几项研究调查了人才在体育界的作用。”符合语境。故选E。 【18题详解】 根据下文“In baseball, the performance of individual players is less dependent on teammates.”可知，此处与棒球有关，选项G“这种任务的相互依存性使棒球与足球和篮球区别开来。”符合语境。故选G。 【19题详解】 根据上文“If a basketball star is, for example, trying to gain a high personal point total, he may take a shot himself when it would be better to pass the ball to a teammate, affecting the team’s performance. Young children learning to play team sports are often told, ‘There is no I in TEAM.’”可知，体育明星们不遵循这一原则，选项D“明星们显然不遵循这一体育精神的基本原则。”符合语境。故选D。 【20题详解】 空处位于文末，应是总结全文，根据空后的“An A-team may require a balance”并结合选项可知，建立梦想团队比较复杂，选项F“建立梦想团队比简单地雇佣最优秀的人才更复杂。”符合语境。故选F。 第三部分 完形填空 （共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Jenna had graduated from middle school and was ready for new ____21____ in high school. ____22____, high school was different.
