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.

B. Hand-feed a kangaroo.

2. If you are an animal lover, you can go to ________.

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.
4. How did the author feel after finishing his speech?
A. Angry. B. Nervous. C. Confused. D. Hopeful.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. 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.
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!
D
Each May since 1956 people from across Europe and around the world have gathered around their televisions with friends and family for an evening of international entertainment(娱乐):The Eurovision Song Contest. It may well be a fun event but perhaps it’s not the shared celebration of European language that it could be. In the first ten years of Eurovision, the UK and Ireland were the only two countries to sing in English. Now English is what we expect. Is it that English is becoming, or has become the official language of music?
From high streets in Hungary to supermarkets in Sweden, from bus stops in Bulgaria to parks in Poland, people listen to English-language music everywhere. And people don't just listen, they sing it too! From sporting events in Spain to nightclubs in Norway, from concerts in Croatia to fitness classes in France, people sing along to popular songs in their everyday lives, in English. But why?
For one evening each year Eurovision is the dinner party of Europe. A dinner party to which each guest brings something special. Their clothing, tradition and food show their culture and their language shows the character of a nation. Although there are 50 nations with 83 languages, for Eurovision, English is the only language. Does Eurovision really represent Europe?
English is an international language spoken by over 1 billion people worldwide. It is no surprise that so many musicians make music in English. Of course, music makes money and more listeners make more money. According to Ragnar Thorhallsson, singer and guitarist with the Icelandic indie band (乐队)“Of Monsters and Men”, English is simpler and is easier to make rhythms(节奏). Could this be true?
Let’s remember that although English-language music is everywhere, music is not everything. As long as we continue to learn, to speak,to love, diversity(多样性)shall be valued. After all, what fun is a dinner party if the guests can’t communicate(交流) or express themselves in the way they choose?
12. What do we know about Eurovision?
A. Singers sing English songs. B. It helps protect European cultures.
C. It is the most popular contest in the world. D. Singers mainly come from the UK and Ireland.
13. How does the writer show the popularity(广泛性) of English music in Paragraph 2?
A. By asking questions. B. By giving examples.
C. By making comparisons. D. By following the order of space.
14. What's Ragnar ThorhaIlsson’s opinion of English?
A. It is easy and beautiful. B. It should be used in all music.
C. It is the best language in the world. D. It helps musicians make money easily.
15. What is mainly discussed in the text?
A. Why we should protect language diversity.
B. How language and music affect each other.
C. Whether English is the official language of music.
D. Why Eurovision is becoming more and more popular.

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。

Each May since 1956 people from across Europe and around the world have gathered around their televisions with friends and family for an evening of international entertainment(娱乐):The Eurovision Song Contest. It may well be a fun event but perhaps it’s not the shared celebration of European language that it could be. In the first ten years of Eurovision, the UK and Ireland were the only two countries to sing in English. Now English is what we expect. Is it that English is becoming, or has become the official language of music?
From high streets in Hungary to supermarkets in Sweden, from bus stops in Bulgaria to parks in Poland, people listen to English-language music everywhere. And people don't just listen, they sing it too! From sporting events in Spain to nightclubs in Norway, from concerts in Croatia to fitness classes in France, people sing along to popular songs in their everyday lives, in English. But why?
For one evening each year Eurovision is the dinner party of Europe. A dinner party to which each guest brings something special. Their clothing, tradition and food show their culture and their language shows the character of a nation. Although there are 50 nations with 83 languages, for Eurovision, English is the only language. Does Eurovision really represent Europe?
English is an international language spoken by over 1 billion people worldwide. It is no surprise that so many musicians make music in English. Of course, music makes money and more listeners make more money. According to Ragnar Thorhallsson, singer and guitarist with the Icelandic indie band (乐队)“Of Monsters and Men”, English is simpler and is easier to make rhythms(节奏). Could this be true?
Let’s remember that although English-language music is everywhere, music is not everything. As long as we continue to learn, to speak,to love, diversity(多样性)shall be valued. After all, what fun is a dinner party if the guests can’t communicate(交流) or express themselves in the way they choose?
12. What do we know about Eurovision?
A. Singers sing English songs. B. It helps protect European cultures.
C. It is the most popular contest in the world. D. Singers mainly come from the UK and Ireland.
13. How does the writer show the popularity(广泛性) of English music in Paragraph 2?
A. By asking questions. B. By giving examples.
C. By making comparisons. D. By following the order of space.
14. What's Ragnar ThorhaIlsson’s opinion of English?
A. It is easy and beautiful. B. It should be used in all music.
C. It is the best language in the world. D. It helps musicians make money easily.
15. What is mainly discussed in the text?
A. Why we should protect language diversity.
B. How language and music affect each other.
C. Whether English is the official language of music.
D. Why Eurovision is becoming more and more popular.
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. A 15. C
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇议论文。文章通过介绍一年一度的欧洲歌唱大赛所使用的语言—英语,以及英文歌曲当前在世界的盛行情况,探讨了英语是否已经成了音乐的通用语言。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Each May since 1956 people from across Europe and around the world have gathered around their televisions with friends and family for an evening of international entertainment(娱乐):The Eurovision Song Contest.”可知,自1956年以来,每年5月,来自欧洲各地和世界各地的人们与朋友和家人聚在电视机前,参加一个国际娱乐之夜:欧洲电视歌唱大赛。再结合“In the first ten years of Eurovision, the UK and Ireland were the only two countries to sing in English. Now English is what we expect.”可知,在欧视最初十年里,英国和爱尔兰是唯一两个用英语唱歌的国家,现在英语已成为大家期待的语言。最后一句的反问句“Is it that English is becoming, or has become the official language of music?(难道英语正在或者已经变成音乐的通用语言了吗?)”因此可以看出,欧视是歌手唱英语歌曲的一个平台,故选A。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“From high streets in Hungary to supermarkets in Sweden, from bus stops in Bulgaria to parks in Poland, people listen to English-language music everywhere. And people don't just listen, they sing it too! From sporting events in Spain to nightclubs in Norway, from concerts in Croatia to fitness classes in France,people sing along to popular songs in their everyday lives, in English”可知,从匈牙利的大街到瑞典的超市,从保加利亚的公共汽车站到波兰的公园,人们到处都在听英语音乐。人们不只是听,他们也唱!从西班牙的体育赛事到挪威的夜总会,从克罗地亚的音乐会到法国的健身班,人们在日常生活中用英语演唱流行歌曲。由此可以看出,作者在第二段是通过举例说明来展示英语音乐的广泛性。故选B。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段倒数第二句“Accordingto Ragnar Thorhallsson,singer and guitarist with the Icelandic indie band 'Of Monsters and Men’, English is simpler and is easier to make rhythms.”可知,据冰岛独立乐队“怪物和男人”的歌手兼吉他手拉格Ragnar Thorhallsson说,“英语更简单,更容易产生节奏感,因此可以看出,他认为英语歌曲简单上口,也是最押韵的语言。故选A。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段最后一句“Is it that English has become the official language of music?”可知,开头提出的一个话题就是英语是否成为音乐的主打语言。所以本文谈论的主题是英语是否成了音乐的通用语言,故选C项。

【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。

【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 Tom,
I am sorry to hear that you feel lonely in your new school. As a new student it is natural for you to find it difficult to get along well with the other students in class in the beginning.
Here are some suggestions that I hope can help you. First, don't worry. Although you are not familiar with the other students there, time and patience will make you feel at home. Second, perhaps you are just not used to the lifestyle there at this moment, so you should try to adapt yourself to the new environment. Last, communicate with your classmates actively, and let them know more about you. May you make new friends soon.
Yours,
Li Hua.
