Come with us on a very special tour of the great southern continent Antarctica. It's the only untouched wilderness left on our planet.

So why should I go there? Antarctica may lack man-made attractions, but its natural beauty is breathtaking. You’ ll want to tell your grandchildren about this trip in years to come Ninety-eight percent of this continent is covered with ice, which contains 70 per cent of the world's fresh-water, although it receives very little rainfall. What kind of things could I see and do there? Our tours are conducted in summer, but you have to remember that summer is six months later in the Southern Hemisphere. Apart from the Arctic region, Antarctica is one of the two areas on earth where you can enjoy 24 hours of sunlight To get there, we have our own ship,which is equipped with a helicopter and a landing pad Once there you' ll be able to observe penguins and birds, and even watch whales and seals in the ocean.

We will fly you over the continent so you can see it from the comfort of your seat on one of our aircraft.

It's a child's first taste of what living in the wild really means. But growing up as an immigrant (移民) from India, I thought it was strange. I simply didn't understand why so many people loved nature when the comfort of your home still existed. Then I turned 20 and started trying new things. I had been experiencing mental health issues for quite some time and I discovered, being out in nature helped me calm down. So, I decided to try camping. The night before the trip I was quite excited Then I overheard a conversation between my father and mother. Why does she have to do this? Doesn't she know she can just stay at home?”my father asked. “This is what Canadian kids do, it's okay, she' ll be fine!” my mom explained.My parents had no faith in me surviving one night in the wild. My friends and I set up our campsite in the woods. As the day went on, we ate, played by the water and met our camping neighbors. Time felt like it slowed down; life felt gentler and easier. Suddenly, I realized: I was doing it! I was camping! As the day turned into night, the stars came out and I was amazed by all the twinkling lights above me. I won't lie. I had the worst sleep of my life. Morning came and I was up and ready to make breakfast, coffee and tea. I didn't even realize I was sad to leave until we started packing everything up. I wasn't just leaving, having accomplished something I never thought I would do. I was leaving with a real sense of community a real sense of appreciation for what the great outdoors had to offer, and a completely different outlook on an activity that I had thought strange for so many years.

C The high-tech revolution has inspired a pleasure endless stream of new and exciting electronic products that we just can't live without. In fact, the speed of technological innovation can make last year's must-have this year's junk. And that's the problem. The average life span of a personal computer has been shortened to around 18 months and this has nothing to do with worn-mice or damaged disk drives. Simply put, electronic products can become out of date before you've even figured out how they work. So what happens to all those old keyboards, monitors, organizers and CPUs? Most are stored away in a warehouse (仓库), taking up valuable space. But many end up in landfills,and that is where the trouble really begins. Computer monitors can contain up to 3.5 kg of dangerous waste once they are no longer in use. Unfortunately, this problem is not going to disappear anytime soon. In fact, it is growing by the minute. In Japan alone, people throw away some 20 million TVs, washing machines,refrigerators and air conditioners each year. What is to be done with all this techno-trash? One way to reduce waste is to avoid throwing away in the first place. Many companies reuse parts from old products in new models. This is not cheating-it makes both environmental and economic sense. Cannon, for example, has adopted a philosophy known as“kyosei”,meaning“living and working together for the common good?”—a goal of achieving balance between the environment and the corporate(公司的) activities. The company has even gone so far as to say that environmental assurance should come before all business activities, and that companies unable to achieve such assurance do not deserve to remain in business. As part of that effort, the company has started a global recycling program with a goal to reduce, reuse and recycle more than 90% of its used products. In 1999, for example, Cannon collected 128, 000 copying machines and 12,175 tons of toner cartridges(色粉盒) in Japan,Europe and the United States. Some argue that electronic garbage can also be controlled during the design phase. This concept, called“design for the environment”. Not only does this make environmental sense,but it saves the customer money. IBM, meanwhile, recently planned programs in Canada and the US that, for a small fee, will take back not just an IBM but also any manufacturer’ s computer. Depending on the age and condition, the equipment will then be either donated to charity, or broken down for reusable parts and recyclable materials. 58. What is not the problem caused by the out-of-date high-tech products? A. Too much room is needed for their probable storage. B. People do not know how to deal with them at all. C. The amount of this techno-trash is increasing everyday without stop. D. Harmful substances contained within may pollute the environment. 59. What idea can be learned through the example of Canon? A. Business must be achieved at the cost of environment. B. Environment holds great importance than business. C. Business and environment has little impact on each other. D. Recycling makes only environment sense instead of economic benefits. 60. When the author says, “electronic garbage can be controlled during the design phase” he means A. while designing products, we must make something to contain garbage B. while designing products, don't throw away garbage away C. while designing, we must work out how much garbage the new product will bring about D. while designing, we must take environment into consideration. 61. What can be inferred from reading the passage A. The problem caused by high-tech products can't be solved in short time B. The techno-trash problem can easily be solved in big countries C. The problem can be solved to some degree if enough attention is paid D. It is still hard to say whether this problem can be solved or not D Everyone knows that the choices we make affect our future. Suppose I am an intelligent student with good marks. However, being lazy, I do badly in my examinations. I am refused entry to university and cannot find a good job. The golden future I had imagined will never be.All these are all from a bad choice! However' your choices affect your future in a way that is a lot more complicated. This is because nearly all the choices you make affect your character. Your character is displayed through your choices, but it is also formed by them. Whenever you make a choice, your character changes or grows, or diminishes(降低, 减弱) depending on whether the decision you made is wise or foolish. Your character is being made by you, bit by bit, choice by choice And so, you become the sort of person who will make a certain kind of choice in a certain situation Some will argue this is not true. After all, the field of human choice is a narrow one. Most of the things that form us in our lives are not subject to choice. We cannot choose when and where to be born, whether our families will be rich or poor, kind or cruel. We cannot even entirely control who we will meet in our lives. With so much that we cannot choose, how can we be said to be responsible for anything? There is some truth in this. We are thrown into life without any say over the matter, and have little control over most of it. However, we do have some power of choice, and we do control the most important thing of all: how we respond to circumstances. We can choose to keep struggling in hard times, or to give up. This ability to choose how we behave and respond is a great gift. It is our key to having confidence in the future. It is human nature to fear the future, as the future is unknown. You cannot entirely control what will happen to you tomorrow. But it you have confidence in your character, formed by years of making good choices, then you do know one thing for certain about the future: no matter what happens, you will make a choice that you will be proud of. At every moment, then, practise forming your character when you make your choices, no matter how small they are. Remember: your choices form your character. And your character determines your future. 62. With the example in paragraph1, the author-intends to show that A. a good choice of job is a guarantee of one's bright future B. intelligent people always tend to be somewhat lazy C. a bad choice of being lazy may affect one's life bit by bit D. a golden future will never be if one is refused by university 63. Your choices may affect your future in a complicated way because A. your future is solely determined by a certain choice B. your choices and character shape each other, finally influencing the future C. your future can only be formed if the choices are right D. your character is always changing and so is your future 64. What does the underlined part mean in paragraph 3? A. not chosen as a subject to learn B. not based on your choices C. not depended on your future D₃ not affected by your pleasure 65. What do the“choice” mentioned in the passage refer to? A Choose to be a brave man with nothing to fear of. B. Choose to be a hardworking man to get a bright future. C. Choose to have a positive response to the unknown future. D. Choose to have a determined mind to keep struggling. 第Ⅱ卷 阅读表达(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分) I had always been one of those quiet boys who preferred dreams to the real world. I was,in addition, absurdly shy, and therefore often mistaken for a fool, which upset me deeply. For nothing terrified me more t hań the prospect of correcting a false impression. Though I was often blamed by mistakes made by my classmațes. I never dare to say a word in. self-detenste:I would simply go home to hide in a corner and cry: My greatest pleasure was to sit alone,reading, and let my thoughts drift away in the stories. My daydreams were in sharp contrast to real life, they were full of adventures and heroic deeds. They left marks on me. There was, for instance, a book about the history of the RomanEmpire, in which an ambassador, while negotiating a treaty, was told that he was to accept the terms offered, on pain of death: his response was to plunge his arm into a fire and continue with his deliberations, in absolute calm. Inspired by his courage, I proceeded to test my own powers of resilience by plunging my own hand into the fire, only to burn my fingers badly. Ican stıll see that ambassador, smiling calmly through his pain. Father hated my reading all the time, and sometımes, he thıew away my books. Some nights he refused to let me turn on the light in my bedroom. But I could always find a way, and after he caught me reading by the light of a string-wick lamp, he gave up and left me to it. There was a time when I tried my hand at writing indeed, I even made a few little poems,but I quickly abandoned my efforts. No matter what I had bottled up inside me, I was extremely anxious about letting it out, and so my adventures in writing ended. I did, however, carry on painting. There was, I thought, no risk of revealing anything personal. I just took something from the outside world and brought it to life on paper. Sometimes I did hide some personal expression in it, but I made sure that it was visible enough to be seen and trivial enough to be ignored. The first time I showed my painting to my father. he was caught in silence for a while and then be breathed deeply, and said:“My son finally made something.” Then here I am, as a teacher at the Academy of Fine Arts, wondering how everything happened, from my daydreams to painting. 66. How did the author respond to the wrongs he suffered? (No more than 15 words) 67. Why did the author give up writing?(No more than 10 words) 68. What was the author's father's attitude towards his painting?(No more than 10 words) 69. What does the underlined sentence mean?(No more than 10 words). 70. If you are afraid of saying something face to face, what means would you try? Why?(No more than 25 words) 第二部分 书面表达(满分15分) 71. 假设你是晨光中学的李津,每年的8月12日是世界大象日 World Elephant Day, 最近你的英国好友 Chris给你发来邮件，询问你有关保护大象的建议。请你给他写一封回信， 内容包括： 1)写信的目的； 2)提出建议(不少于 3点)； 3)愿意提供更多帮助。 注意： (1)词数不少于 100; (2)可适当加入细节，使内容充实、行文连贯。 参考词汇:象牙 ivory Dear Chris, 第 1 页 共 12 页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
