The presence of the human is equally dangerous, regardless of what type of human you are.”可知，不管你是什么 类型的人——观看野生动物的游客、盗猎者或其他什么人，在野生动物眼里，你都是一样的 ——人类的存在对他们来说都是一样的危险，因此可以推断出，动物们曾经被盗猎者伤害过， 所以它们才会非常恐惧人类。故选 C。 33.

Table tennis is highly popular in China, enjoyed by people of all ages and skill levels. You can find table tennis tables in many places like parks, schools and residential areas. Deeply rooted in Chinese culture, it has been a national pastime for decades. I highly recommend table tennis for two reasons. For one thing, it's a social sport that not only brings people together but also strengthens bonds through friendly competition and teamwork. For another, it's easy to learn and doesn't require expensive equipment, making it accessible to everyone. If you're looking for a fun and engaging sport that promotes fitness and social interaction, 7 table tennis is a perfect choice. Yours sincerely, Li Hua 第二节 参考范文： Of course , I asked what the celebration was. I mean, it was obvious this was a special occasion. The mother of the small girl smiled at me and said, “ I just graduated from nursing school. We wanted to come see you one last time and say thank you for making our Sundays so special. It meant so much to us to come in here and be treated like everybody else, even though we could never order very much or leave you a tip. The mother said they were moving to Dallas the next week. She said, “We won’t becoming back. I got a job at Major Hospital, and we won’t see you anymore. ” I smiled and wished them the best of luck, letting them know I’d miss them. They enjoyed the delicious food happily. When I picked up their check, they had left me a fifty-dollar tip, which was about 150% of their bill. From the story, I see: Don’t worry about tips because you never know the customer’s true story. Sometimes the memory is worth more than the money. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者大学期间，在一个叫 O’malley的地方工 作，主动为一对从不给小费的母女服务，作者理解对方的处境，仍然提供最好的服务。最后 这对母女要搬家之前，专门去餐厅吃饭，给了作者 50美元的小费。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“当然，我问过庆祝活动是什么。”可知，第一段可描写女孩的母 亲解释她们前来的原因。 ②由第二段首句内容“母亲说他们下周要搬去达拉斯。”可知，第二段可描写这对母女 要搬家了，临走前给了作者 50美元的小费。 2.续写线索：询问情况——表达感谢——告知搬家——微小祝愿——给予 50美元小费 ——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①想要：want to/feel like doing ②感谢：thank/show gratitude to ③担心：worry about/concern about 情绪类 ①明显的：obvious/apparent ②快乐地：happily/merrily 【点睛】[高分句型 1] Don’t worry about tips because you never know the customer’s true story.

Text 2 W: James, what are you doing in this picture? Is it a lesson? M: No, it isn’t. We couldn’t go to the playground because it rained that day, so we did some activities in the classroom. Text 3 M: You sold it? Oh no, I have been saving up for months to buy that guitar! W: I’m really sorry. I only sold it this morning to a young guy who was crazy about guitars. He was so excited. Text 4 W: Do you want to have a potato salad or fried rice for lunch? M: No, Mom. I need some energy for my afternoon classes. How about some fried eggs or a beef sandwich? Text 5 W: Have you decided which business school to apply to? M: I really want to go to Harvard Business School. So I’m just applying to that one. W: You are putting all your eggs in one basket. Don’t you think you should apply to more than one, just in case? Text 6 M: Excuse me, how much does this Bluetooth earphone cost? W: It is $200, but I can give you a 30% discount with some small free gifts. M: That sounds great! By the way, if there is something wrong with the earphone, can I change it for a new one?

I was planning to go round to Mary’s but unluckily she’s got a bad cold. So, I will play tennis with Peter on Saturday. M: If the weather lets you. W: And on Sunday I’m going to see my parents and eat out with them. Then I will do some light housework after I get back home. 9 M: Oh, very busy. I don’t feel like going out. I prefer a lazy weekend because I’m going to take a business trip next Monday. Text 8 M: Mrs. Adams, are our group projects really due this Friday? My group is having trouble finding time to get together. W: What’s the difficulty, John? I thought two weeks was plenty of time for everyone. M: Well, Dana is on the swim Team. Greg is in the science club. And I’m in the chess club. Our activities meet at least twice each week, so we can never find a free day to meet right after school. W: What about evenings? M: Each of us has an evening job now. W: Well, the due date will be moved to next Tuesday. Will that help? M: Yes, very much! None of us have activities this Sunday. We can meet on that day. W: Good! If you don’t have enough time to do a progress report, don’t forget to turn in your project plan to me by this Thursday. Text 9 M: Can I help you? W: I’m interested in finding a two-bedroom flat.

In western and southern areas, $380 a month. The north, $180 a month. W: What are the advantages and disadvantages of these areas? M: There are lots of parks all around the eastern part of the city. In the south you’ve got a beach, and there are many factories alongside the beach. The northern area is made up of wetlands. It’s beautiful in one way, but it attracts many insects. So few people have any real wish to live in the neighborhoods there. W: Can you show me some flats in western and southern areas? M: OK. Here are some photos. And I’ll search for more information on the computer. Text 10 W: Good evening, this is Jane Lemming with your First Minute of the Hour News report. We’ve only got 60 seconds, so listen up!

Most of my peers (同龄人) had picked out their majors and some even planned their careers. But I was still wondering about that. I’ve always enjoyed writing but didn’t know how to make a career out of it. After researching my options, such as journalism, I thought Professional Communications could improve my writing skills and lead me to a career in business. With that, I sent in my application, was accepted and started preparing for my first term of university. When course intentions rolled around, I began looking at the list of minors. Marketing caught my attention. It would complement (补充) my communications degree while providing me with the necessary business courses that were outside of the program. Without hesitation, I scheduled marketing into my studies, with the goal of using that newfound knowledge to accompany the technical skills that my major would provide me with. My school year began in a pretty typical way: the orientation week (迎新周), joining clubs and meeting new people. As time went on, I found myself enjoying the marketing courses more than the communications courses, and it was then that I first began to consider making a change. Finally, I spoke with a friend who had switched to a different major, and his words of encouragement were the final push I needed to go through with the decision. A few days later, I sent in my application, and soon I received my acceptance letter. I’ve now been gifted with a wonderful start to the year, and I couldn’t be happier about making the change. I feel less pressured to “find myself” and can put 110% effort into my studies. A note to high school students: University brings with it a load of new beginnings and self-reflection. It’s perfectly fine to come into university thinking you want one thing and finding out along the way that it might not be the right path for you. 24. Why was the author at a loss after high school?

Here are some important ways to improve your spoken English． When you have time to speak，just try your best to practice. Don't wait until you "feel more comfortable" speaking in English， so start speaking English today. You'll be surprised at how quickly your language skills improve. Find a native English speaker who is willing to spend some time speaking English with you﹣you may be able to offer them a language exchange, where they spend 30 minutes speaking English with you and you spend 30 minutes speaking your native language with them． Even if you have a good knowledge of the grammar and vocabulary, native English speakers may find it's very difficult to understand if you don't work on your pronunciation. Correct, clear pronunciation is necessary if you really want to improve your English. Listen closely to how native English speakers pronounce certain words and sounds and do your best to copy them． The wider your vocabulary and the more English phrases you learn, the easier speaking English will become. Once you have learned a new word or phrase, you should make an effort to use it in a sentence﹣this is the best way to keep it in mind. You should also start a notebook of phrases that English speakers use all the time． Another great way to add some more English conversation into your weekly practice is to sign up for a class of discussion group. Attending an English class is a great way to pay attention to some of the more formal aspects of speaking English. A class will teach you the correct way of speaking. Attending a discussion group is a more informal and relaxed way of learning English, where the emphasis（重点） is more on communication and relationship building than on speaking "correct" English． 28. What is the best title of the text？ A. Ways of improving your spoken English B. English is an excellent language to learn C.English is useful for business and travels D. How to learn English grammar clearly 29. The writer suggested people start practicing when ． A. they feel comfortable B. they meet the surprising thing C. they improve their language skills D. they have any time 30. What is the best way to improve the pronunciation？ A. Just remember the grammar． B. Make sure how words are read and copy them． C. Try the best to remember the spelling of the words． D. Speak English when you "feel more comfortable"． 31. We can learn from the passage that ． A. it's not necessary to find a native English speaker with whom you can practice speaking English B. native English speakers can understand you easily if you have a good knowledge of grammar and vocabulary 6 6 C. using a new word or phrase in a sentence is the best way to memorize it D. an English party is a good place where you can learn the correct way of speaking D People’s voices frighten wildlife even more than the snarls (低吼) of lions, suggesting that we are the scariest animals. Giraffes, elephants, and more than a dozen other species of animals in a South African wildlife reserve ran away from loudspeakers twice as often when they heard the sounds of humans compared with those of lions, found by a study led by Michael Clinchy at the University of Western Ontario in Canada. “This is a protected area, so these animals should not be fearful of us,” he says. “But whether you’re a wildlife tourist, or a poacher (盗猎者), or whatever, you’re all going to be seen as the same thing. The presence of the human is equally dangerous, regardless of what type of human you are.” Clinchy and his colleagues had already discovered that the fear of predators (捕食者 ) can cause species to decline in number. Wanting to find out which was the most feared, the team decided to test humans against lions often seen as the world’s most fearsome predator on land, says Clinchy. They set up loudspeakers and cameras on trees 10 meters away from animal paths near 21 waterholes in Greater Kruger National Park, South Africa, which hosts one of the largest remaining lion populations in the world. When animals approached the waterholes, the speakers immediately played back one of four kinds of recordings, all at the same volume. These included men and women speaking calmly in local languages, lions snarling, gun shots with or without barking dogs and the calls of regional birds. The researchers captured 15,000 videos of 19 species of animals reacting to their recordings. They found that wildlife except lions ran around in response to human voices more than to any other sounds, and were also 40 percent quicker to escape. The findings highlight the damaging impact that our presence could potentially be having significant ecological (生态的) results. Even so, the findings could lead to positive outcomes as well. Human voices might prevent wildlife from entering crop fields or farms. 32. Why are some animals fearful of human beings? A. Human beings are the strongest. B. Human beings make them out of water. C. Human beings may have caused great damage. D. Human beings can make the loudest voice in the world. 33. What can be inferred about Greater Kruger National Park? A. There are many lions there. B. There are 21 waterholes there. C. It is easy to set up loudspeakers there. D. It is easy to record the local people’s activities. 34. Which animal responded to human voices least? A. Elephants. B. Giraffes. C. Lions. D. Dogs. 35. What is the main idea of the last paragraph? A. The advantages of human voices to animals. 7 7 B. The damaging impact of human presence. C. The significant ecological results of human voices. D. The impact and possible application of human voices. 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。 How to Face Your Fears When you face your fears bravely, you open up endless chances to live your best life.
