High School Programmes in Australia
Beautiful weather, friendly people and a widely varied landscape are just a few of the reasons you should choose to spend time in Australia as a high school student. Here are some programmes you can choose from.
High School Exchange
Individuals studying for a semester or full year in Australia will usually live with a host family. This is a great opportunity for students to see what daily family life is like in Australia. Students learning English will see their language skills improve by communicating with their new friends and host family while those familiar with the language already can use this opportunity to learn more about the day-to-day life in Australia.
Youth Travel Tours
Travel tours for teens are a wonderful way for high school students to spend a short, concentrated amount of time abroad. Tours are usually for different themes such as cooking, adventure travel, or volunteerism. Students will have a fun, unique experience while incorporating educational components like environmental or cultural studies — and all without missing your normal coursework back home.
Summer Study Programme
For students who only have a few months of the summer break available, an advanced summer programme is perfect. Just keep in mind, the summer of the northern hemisphere (半球) is actually the winter of Australia. Oftentimes these summer programmes can be partnered with universities that will allow students to receive college credits.
1. What can High School Exchange offer?
A. A good command of what we learn at school.
B. A better understanding of Australian culture.
C. A wonderful way to communicate with famous teachers.
D. A precious chance to make friends from different countries.
2. Who may want to choose Youth Travel Tours?
A. Those who have ever been volunteers. B. Those who are interested in cooking.
C. Those who like doing adventure sports. D. Those who want to take a part-time job.
3. Which programme should you choose if you want to earn college credits?

Recently, the topic “Chinese people can eat such a sweet melon but can’t do without this grandma” has topped the hot search list. The grandma is 94-year-old Wu Mingzhu, called the “queen of melons”, a melon-growing expert and eminent academician. Among Wu Mingzhu’s classmates was Yuan Longping, who later became the “father of hybrid rice”.
Wu Mingzhu was born in 1930 into a scholarly family in Wuhan city. After her graduation in 1953, she was assigned to work in Beijing. But Wu had already set her eyes on her long-awaited goal. “What I studied was the science of fruit and vegetables. I wanted to work in the fields, not in an office,” said Wu.
In 1955, Wu voluntarily went to work in Shanghai County, Turpan Basin, where working conditions were quite hard. She found that the Hami melon, a rare specialty fruit which was once common in the area, was in danger of becoming extinct if not properly cultivated (种植). Wu spent years visiting over 300 production teams, picking out 44 melon varieties. She overcame a variety of difficulties to produce particularly delicious melons in a scientific way, winning over the local farmers accustomed (习惯的) to folk cultivation methods. Then the promotion area covered most of Xinjiang’s main commodity (商品) areas, and a group of melon-rich villages appeared.
For more than 60 years, Wu Mingzhu and her team have cultivated more than 30 varieties, brought the sweetness of melons to people, and promoted the melon series with Chinese characteristics and a complete breeding innovation system to the world. When first hearing her nickname of “a pearl in the Turpan Basin”, Wu said, “In Xinjiang, there are thousands of science and technology workers like me. They have worked hard for decades on the frontline of agriculture. I’m just one of the ordinary ones.”
4. Why does the author mention Yuan Longping in the first paragraph?
A. To tell us she graduated from a world-rate university. B. To let us get a further understanding of Wu.
C. To make a comparison between Wu and Yuan. D. To prove Wu’s success resulting from Yuan’s help.
5. Why did Wu dislike the job in Beijing?
A She thought Beijing unsuitable for agriculture. B. She wanted to go back to her hometown.
C. She preferred to research in the fields. D. She was attracted by Xinjiang’s fruit.
6. How did Wu persuade the locals to adopt her way of producing melons?
A. By developing high-quality melons scientifically. B. By providing enough financial assistance.
C. By sharing expert knowledge with them. D. By expanding the planting area.
7. Which of the following best describes Wu according to the last paragraph?
A. Brave B. Confident C. Smart D. Devoted
C
While most musicians work with other artists when creating their music, Holly Herndon, an American musician and sound artist who is now based in Berlin, takes a different way, working with the machine learning software called Spawn. The software uses artificial neural networks modeled after the structure of the human brain. These networks learn patterns from datasets during the training process. Based on the data, the networks create new material that includes Herndon’s own voice.
When producing her album, PROTO, Holly trained datasets to write new music. The process requires the input data of music written by people or by artificial intelligence (AI). The neural networks then produce variations of that music. “Computers surprise you in a way that an instrument doesn’t,” Holly said. So what does music sound like when composed by what is essentially a robot? It sounds like music from the future!
But Holly Herndon isn’t the only one exploring AI in composition. Machines have played an increasingly important role in music over the last century. The godfather of computer science, Alan Turing, developed the first computer generated music in 1951. Then in 1980. David Cope from the University of California, Santa Cruz developed EMI — Experiments in Musical Intelligence, a system that analyzes existing music and produces new pieces based on it.
AI might not take over the job of the “pop star” anytime soon, or will it? Miquela Sousa is a computer-generated artist with over one million followers on Instagram. “I’m a model and singer. And I’m a robot,” Miquela said. This then raises the question: Can we reproduce creativity using a computer?
Though those questions are not easy to answer, I believe the next frontier of music lies somewhere in between. I can see the path forward with a new dawn of creativity that combines human inventiveness with AI. And the next chapter of music will certainly become wonderful as music and AI become even more closely connected.
8. What plays an important role in producing PROTO?
A. Holly’s special voice. B. The input of existing music.
C. Holly’s rich knowledge. D. The use of an instrument.
9. Why does the author mention the example of Miquela Sousa?
A. To promote deep thinking on AI musicians.
B. To show the popularity of smart robots.
C. To explain the tasks of computer-generated artists.
D. To make comparisons between human and robotic artists.
10. What is the author’s attitude towards music co- created by AI and humans?
A. Doubtful. B. Surprised. C. Confused. D. Confident.
11. What does the text mainly talk about?
A. The increasing diversity of AI music. B. The development of musical composition.
C. The history of computer-generated music. D. The combination of AI and musical composition.
D
Should we allow modern buildings to be built next to older buildings in a historic area of a city? In order to answer this question, we must first examine whether people really want to preserve the historic feel of an area. Not all historical buildings are attractive. However, there may be other reasons —for example, economic reasons —why they should be preserved. So, let us suppose that historical buildings are both attractive and important to the majority of people. What should we do then if a new building is needed?
In my view, new architectural styles can exist perfectly well alongside an older style. Indeed, there are many examples in my own hometown of Tours where modern designs have been placed very successfully next to old buildings. As long as the building in question is pleasing and does not dominate (影响) its surroundings too much, it often improves the attractiveness of the area.
It is true that there are examples of new buildings which have spoilt the area they are in, but the same can be said of some old buildings too. Yet people still speak against new buildings in historic areas. I think this is simply because people are naturally conservative (保守的) and do not like change.
Although we have to respect people’s feelings as fellow users of the buildings, I believe that it is the duty of the architect and planner to move things forward. If we always reproduced what was there before, we would all still be living in caves. Thus, I would argue against copying previous architectural styles and choose something fresh and different, even though that might be the more risky choice.
12. What does the author say about historical buildings in the first paragraph?
A. They are more pleasing than modern buildings.
B. Most of them are too expensive to preserve.
C. Some of them are not attractive.
D. They have nothing to do with the historic feel of an area.
13. Which statement will the author probably agree with?
A. Some old buildings have spoilt the area they are in.
B. Buildings that affect their surroundings are attractive.
C. People should protest against new buildings.
D. We should reproduce the same old buildings.
14. By“move things forward”in the last paragraph,the author probably means“
A. destroy old buildings
B. respect people’s feelings for historical buildings
C. put things in a different place
D. choose new architectural style
15 What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To explain why people dislike change.
B. To argue that modern buildings can be built in historic areas.
C. To warn that we could end up living in caves.
D. To make a comparison between modern buildings and historic buildings.

How to Be an Effective Member of a Team
Working in a team can be rewarding, but at times it can be difficult. To create a successful team, effective communication methods are necessary. Here we’ve outlined some ways to avoid some common team mistakes as well as some helpful advice.
Communicate

Listen Actively
Look at the person who’s speaking to you, nod, ask questions and acknowledge what’s said by paraphrasing points that have been made. If you’re unclear about something that’s been said, ask for more information to clear up any confusion before moving on. Effective communication is a vital part of any team. ___19___.
Get Involved
Share suggestions, ideas, solutions and proposals with your team members. Take the time to help your fellow teammates. You can guarantee there will be a time in the future when you’ll need some help or advice. ___20___.
A. Don’t Blame Others
B. Avoid showing off
C. Thus, the value of good listening skills shouldn’t be ignored.
D. Have faith that people will recognize when good work is being done.
E. If you have a problem with someone in your group, talk to him about it
F. And if you’ve helped them in the past, they’ll be more than happy to lend a helping hand.

In 1952, my father traveled with the United Nations Peacekeeping Organization. He worked on a very large military vessel, and he went where the vessel went . This meant he spent a lot of time away from our home in North Carolina.
As Christmas approached, he called from somewhere remote. He explained to my mother why he would not be celebrating the holiday with us. He was a long way from home and had no way of getting back to his family.
Disappointed as she was, mum understood dad’s situation. She also knew we would be upset, so she told my two sisters, brother and me right away. The news hit me very hard. Christmas just wouldn’t be the same without dad. We were all very sad.
I knew he would have tried his best to be with us. Still, I went to bed on Christmas Eve with a heavy heart. When we woke up on Christmas morning, we opened the presents mum had put under the Christmas tree in the living room. I don’t remember what gift my brother received that year, but my sisters and I found new Barbie dolls. My sisters’ dolls had fancy clothes and shoes, and mum had placed mine in a pumpkin carriage. We were all happy with our gifts, so we went outside to play. I didn’t want mum to see how gloomy I was because I couldn’t show dad our gifts and say Merry Christmas to him. I could tell mum was feeling sad, too.
We went to play outside and as I was playing, I looked up and saw Santa approaching. I ran inside to tell Mother. She did not believe me and told me not to make up stories. I went back outside to welcome Santa. My brother, sisters and I were all very excited to see a real Santa coming to our home.

Should we allow modern buildings to be built next to older buildings in a historic area of a city? In order to answer this question, we must first examine whether people really want to preserve the historic feel of an area. Not all historical buildings are attractive. However, there may be other reasons —for example, economic reasons —why they should be preserved. So, let us suppose that historical buildings are both attractive and important to the majority of people. What should we do then if a new building is needed?
In my view new architectural styles can exist perfectly well alongside an older style. Indeed, there are many examples in my own hometown of Tours where modern designs have been placed very successfully next to old buildings. As long as the building in question is pleasing and does not dominate (影响) its surroundings too much, it often improves the attractiveness of the area.
It is true that there are examples of new buildings which have spoilt the area they are in, but the same can be said of some old buildings too. Yet people still speak against new buildings in historic areas. I think this is simply because people are naturally conservative (保守的) and do not like change.
Although we have to respect people’s feelings as fellow users of the buildings, I believe that it is the duty of the architect and planner to move things forward. If we always reproduced what was there before, we would all still be living in caves. Thus, I would argue against copying previous architectural styles and choose something fresh and different, even though that might be the more risky choice.
12. What does the author say about historical buildings in the first paragraph?
A. They are more pleasing than modern buildings.
B. Most of them are too expensive to preserve.
C. Some of them are not attractive.
D. They have nothing to do with the historic feel of an area.
13. Which statement will the author probably agree with?
A. Some old buildings have spoilt the area they are in.
B. Buildings that affect their surroundings are attractive.
C. People should protest against new buildings.
D. We should reproduce the same old buildings.
14. By“move things forward”in the last paragraph,the author probably means“
A. destroy old buildings
B. respect people’s feelings for historical buildings
C. put things in a different place
D. choose new architectural style
15. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To explain why people dislike change.
B. To argue that modern buildings can be built in historic areas.
C. To warn that we could end up living in caves.
D. To make a comparison between modern buildings and historic buildings.
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. D 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。作者论证了在历史文化地区兴建现代化建筑物是否可取问题。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段中“Not all historical buildings are attractive. (并不是所有的历史建筑都有吸引力)”可知,作者说有些建筑不吸引人。故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据由文章第三段中“It is true that there are examples of new buildings which have spoilt the area they are in,but the same can be said of some old buildings too. (确实,有一些新建筑的例子破坏了它们所在的地区,但一些老建筑也是如此。)”可知,作者认为有一些新建筑的例子破坏了它们所在的地区。故选A。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据文章最后一段中“If we always reproduced what was there before, we would all still be living in caves. Thus, I would argue against copying previous architectural styles and choose something fresh and different, even though that might be the more risky choice. (如果我们总是复制以前的东西,我们都会仍然生活在洞穴里。因此,我反对复制以前的建筑风格。选择一些新鲜和不同的东西。尽管这可能是更危险的选择)”可知,作者认为建筑师和规划师有责任推动事物向前发展,即选择新的建筑风格,所以“move things forward”意思是“选择新的建筑风格”。A. destroy old buildings破坏旧建筑;B. respect people’s feelings for historical buildings尊重人们对历史建筑的感情;C. put things in a different place把东西放在不同的地方;D. choose new architectural style选择新的建筑风格。故选D。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段中“In my view, new architectural styles can exist (存在) perfectly well alongside an older style. (在我看来,新的建筑风格可以与旧的风格完美共存)”以及第四段中“Thus, I would argue against copying previous architectural styles and choose something fresh and different, even though that might be the more risky choice. (因此,我反对复制以前的建筑风格,选择一些新鲜和不同的东西,尽管这可能是更危险的选择)”可知,本文主要讨论了是否可以在历史文化地区,兴建现代化建筑物的问题。而作者对此持支持态度。通读全文推知,这篇文章的主要目的是论证现代建筑可以建在历史悠久的地区。故选B。

How to Be an Effective Member of a Team
Working in a team can be rewarding, but at times it can be difficult. To create a successful team, effective communication methods are necessary. Here we’ve outlined some ways to avoid some common team mistakes as well as some helpful advice.
Communicate
___16___ Letting bad feelings brew(酝酿)will only make you feel bad and want to isolate yourself from the group. Not only does it feel good to get the bad feelings out, but it will be better for the team in the long run.
___17___
People in your group will lose respect for you if you’re constantly blaming others for not meeting deadlines. Group members understand if you have a heavy workload and aren’t able to meet a deadline. Saying something like, “I’m really sorry, but I’ll get it to you by the end of today.” will earn you a lot more respect than trying to make it seem like it’s everyone else’s fault that you missed your deadline.
Support group member’s ideas
If a teammate suggests something, always consider it! ___18___ And this makes you a good team member. After all, nobody likes a know-it-all.
Listen Actively
Look at the person who’s speaking to you, nod, ask questions and acknowledge what’s said by paraphrasing points that have been made. If you’re unclear about something that’s been said, ask for more information to clear up any confusion before moving on. Effective communication is a vital part of any team. ___19___.
Get Involved
Share suggestions, ideas, solutions and proposals with your team members. Take the time to help your fellow teammates. You can guarantee there will be a time in the future when you’ll need some help or advice. ___20___.
A. Don’t Blame Others
B. Avoid showing off
C. Thus, the value of good listening skills shouldn’t be ignored.
D. Have faith that people will recognize when good work is being done.
E. If you have a problem with someone in your group, talk to him about it
F. And if you’ve helped them in the past, they’ll be more than happy to lend a helping hand.
G. Considering the group’s ideas shows you’re interested in other people’s ideas, not just your own.
【答案】16. E 17. A 18. G 19. C 20. F
【解析】
【分析】本文主要讲述了如何成为团队里的一名优秀成员——讲述了一些常犯的错误以及有用的建议。
【16题详解】
根据本段的标题Communicate可知是要交流,再根据空后一句Letting bad feelings brew(酝酿)will only make you feel bad and want to isolate yourself from the group.可知不好的感觉不说出来会让你感觉很糟糕,所以前一句应该强调交流、交谈的重要性,而且problem与空后一句的bad feelings能衔接起来,故选E。
【17题详解】
本空属于标题类。根据本段第一句People in your group will lose respect for you if you’re constantly blaming others for not meeting deadlines.可知如果你老是责怪他人那么你的团队会失去对你的尊重,所以不要责怪别人,且句中有关键词blaming others,由此可知选A。
【18题详解】
根据本段的标题Support group member’s ideas可知要支持组员的想法,再结合第一句If a teammate suggests something, always consider it!可知是要你对组员的想法进行思考,要重视组员们的想法,G项中的关键词Considering the group’s ideas和本段匹配,意思也能很好衔接起来,故选G。
【19题详解】
本段的标题是Listen Actively积极地聆听,除了已选掉的选项之外,剩下的几个选项只有C项中有关键词good listening skills(良好的聆听技能)能和本段标题匹配,而且前后意思也能很好衔接,故选C。
【20题详解】
根据空前一句You can guarantee there will be a time in the future when you’ll need some help or advice.可知将来你会需要帮助或建议,所以如果你帮助了他们,他们以后肯定会帮助你,根据语境的衔接可知F项非常合适,此外还有关键词help更能确定答案为F。

【详解】考查固定短语。句意:愤怒时,我们会想到什么就说什么。根据汉语提示和句意可知,空处可使用固定短语tend to(往往会;趋向)在句中作谓语,根据语境可知,该句陈述一般事实,主语we为复数形式,因此需使用一般现在时的复数形式。故填①tend;②to。
55. We ought to ______ ______ (出发)to the opening ceremony at 7:00 am. when the road is empty. (根据汉语提示完成句子)
【答案】 ①. set ②. off##out
【解析】
【详解】考查固定短语。句意:我们应该在早上7点出发去参加开幕式,那时路上没有人。根据句意和汉语提示可知,空处可使用固定短语set off/out(出发)在句中作谓语,情态动词ought to后接动词原形。故填①set;②off/out。

【答案】Ladies and gentlemen,
Hello, my name is Li Hua. It’s an honour to be here and to share with you the story of how music has had an impact on my life.
Are you nervous with an exam approaching? I used to be. I couldn’t fall asleep as usual. As a result, I felt discouraged. Then, my teacher suggested me listening to music. I had no choice but to try. To my surprise, my anxiety died out. As you know, not only does music give me strength and bring me relief, but listening to music also gives me a sense of satisfaction.
Music can change our life. Why not have a try whenever you have an opportunity?
Thank you!

57. 阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。
In 1952, my father traveled with the United Nations Peacekeeping Organization. He worked on a very large military vessel, and he went where the vessel went . This meant he spent a lot of time away from our home in North Carolina.
As Christmas approached, he called from somewhere remote. He explained to my mother why he would not be celebrating the holiday with us. He was a long way from home and had no way of getting back to his family.
Disappointed as she was, mum understood dad’s situation. She also knew we would be upset, so she told my two sisters, brother and me right away. The news hit me very hard. Christmas just wouldn’t be the same without dad. We were all very sad.
I knew he would have tried his best to be with us. Still, I went to bed on Christmas Eve with a heavy heart. When we woke up on Christmas morning, we opened the presents mum had put under the Christmas tree in the living room. I don’t remember what gift my brother received that year, but my sisters and I found new Barbie dolls. My sisters’ dolls had fancy clothes and shoes, and mum had placed mine in a pumpkin carriage. We were all happy with our gifts, so we went outside to play. I didn’t want mum to see how gloomy I was because I couldn’t show dad our gifts and say Merry Christmas to him. I could tell mum was feeling sad, too.
We went to play outside and as I was playing, I looked up and saw Santa approaching. I ran inside to tell Mother. She did not believe me and told me not to make up stories. I went back outside to welcome Santa. My brother, sisters and I were all very excited to see a real Santa coming to our home.

【答案】参考范文
We were eager to know what gifts Santa would give us. Slowly, Santa dropped his bag full of gifts on the ground and greeted us with arms open wide, like dad often did. The moment we received our delicately packaged presents, we tore off the wrapping paper. So excited was I that I bounced around Santa like a rabbit and kept saying thanks, without wondering how Santa knew that I expected a box of crayons as my gift —something I had mentioned to my father months ago.
We had no idea that a bigger surprise was waiting for us. Santa took off his costume and beamed at us with a naughty look. We burst into tears when we realized it was our dad dressed as Santa. We all walked inside and dad kissed mum, who was also surprised at his sudden return. Dad told us about his strenuous journey home. His special surprise was one of the best gifts I have ever received for Christmas.
