Dear Sir or Madam,
I’m Li Hua, a Senior 3 student. Learning that the International Department is looking for volunteers to teach foreign students to play Chinese chess, I’m eager to apply for a volunteer position.
I believe I am competent enough to do the job. Not only can I speak English fluently, but I also have a positive personality, enabling me to interact with foreign learners with great ease. More importantly, as an advanced learner of Chinese chess, I know a lot about this, which can help them practise the skill and give them more insight into Chinese culture.
Any favorable consideration of my application is appreciative. Looking forward to your early reply.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

It was Joyce’s turn to display his project. Making his way to the platform with heavy steps, Joyce placed all the materials for his project well and began to conduct his math magic quiz on the circuit board. He prayed in his heart that his lights would glow again but in vain. Hearing other students whispering to each other, Joyce’s face flushed with shame. He ducked his head and stepped back to his seat. And then Karan’s team showed their project. With joint efforts, they made it.
Finally, the teacher announced Karan’s team was the winner. All the children burst into thunderous applause on hearing that. Karan and his partners walked up to the front with great excitement. They were awarded and also received the surprise gift from Mangat Madam. After class, Joyce approached Karan, expressed admiration for his team’s project and congratulated him on their success sincerely. That day, Joyce learnt the biggest lesson of his life: it is always better to work as a team rather than working alone.

W: David, do you want to have an apple pie or fried bread for lunch?

Text 2
W: Hello, Mr. Johnson. This is Doctor White's office. You are scheduled to meet the doctor at 3 : 00 pm.
M: Oh, thank you for reminding me. I'll be there as soon as I finish my lunch.
W: OK. See you then.
Text 3
W: Mr. Robert, Mr. James would like to listen to your opinion on his marketing plan.
M: I'm meeting my important customer. Would you please send the documents about the plan to my e-mail box? I'll read them during my lunchtime and talk with Mr. James in the afternoon.
Text 4
M: My wife and I are thinking about taking our parents on a vacation. Do you have any suggestions about where to go?
W: Why not try some historical places of interest? They can have fun there.
Text 5
M: I'm so excited to hear this speaker. I can't believe the famous film star is visiting our little town! I want him to sign on the cover of his hook for me.
W: I'm not sure who the film star is. I'm just here for a free T-shirt.
Text 6
M: It's Monday today. I have so much schoolwork to do: a book report that I must hand in tomorrow, a math test on Wednesday, and a paper that I have to finish before Friday
W: Sam, you're in ninth grade now. It is normal that you have a lot more schoolwork than before. Can I help you with any of the tasks?
M: I need someone to help me work out some math problems and check my paper, but these can be left to be done tomorrow. I have to work on my book report tonight. Can you check it for me?

Text 7
M : Can I help you, Madam?
W: I'm looking for a two-bedroom flat in the city. How much does it cost on average in different areas?
M: Well, flats in the eastern part of the city are the most expensive, $580 a month. In western and southern areas,$280 a month. The north, $180 a month.
W: What are the advantages and disadvantages of the flats?
M: In the south you've got a beach, but there are many factories alongside the beach. There are lots of parks all around the eastern part of the city. The northern area is made up of wetlands. It's beautiful but it has poor transportation. 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 8
W: I feel terrible. I really need to relax. Do you know any good ways to fight stress?
M: Yeah, in fact, I read in a health magazine that you should drink two cups of lemon tea every day to fight stress. W : Lemon tea?
M: That's right. Lemon tea makes you feel more relaxed. And also, you should eat low-stress food like apples and grapes.
W: Sounds very strange. I guess hamburgers and French fries cause stress, right?
M: Yep. Hamburgers are high-stress food.
W: Well, I guess I need to change my diet.
Text 9
W: Um... Mr. Brown? I'm part of" Ears to Hear". M: You are not Trevor.
W: My name is Jessica Woods. I'm a new member of the volunteer program and I can read you anything you like.
M: Actually, I just received some letters, but they are hard for me to read because I can't see clearly. Could you read them to me?
W: Of course. Shall I start with this one? It's from Bella.
M: That's my granddaughter in college in Hawaii.
W: Wow. Here's what she says: Dear grandpa, I'm terribly sorry to hear you are in hospital and I want you to know I'm praying for you. I'll come to visit you as soon as my exams are over. And...

W: The Edinburgh International Book Festival is one of the best public celebrations of books in the world. The first Book Festival took place in a tent in Edinburgh in 1983. At first, it was held every two years. However, starting from 1997, it has been held every year. It is now a large and growing international event. Perhaps, as a result of this, Edinburgh was named the first UNESCO City of Literature in 2004. The Book Festival runs in the last three weeks of August. The Festival's home is the beautiful Charlotte Square Garden centrally located in Edinburgh's historical New Town, which is a short walk from Princess Street. It's a wonderful space to sit, think and play in. You can enjoy a relaxing atmosphere—see a favorite author, join in a workshop, enjoy a glass of wine or beer, or simply park yourself on the grass. There are over 700 events for both adults and children. They range from writing workshops, education events, discussions, to talks and performances by international writers, poets, musicians and thinkers.

Reward yourself when you manage to complete your goal successfully, either by buying yourself some desserts or allowing yourself an hour of surfing the net or whatever it is that makes you happy.(为自己设定一个目标,并在每天结束时检查自己是否实现了目标。当你成功地完成目标时,奖励自己,无论是给自己买些甜点,还是允许自己上网一个小时,或者做任何让你开心的事情。)”可知,本段主要讲述了如何制定学习计划并奖励自己。C选项“Prepare a timetable and alternate between subjects that interest you and those that don’t.(制定一个时间表,在你感兴趣的科目和不感兴趣的科目之间交替学习。)”概括本段主旨,符合题意。故选C。

42.D 根据空后的 basking in the sunshine 可知,此处指来自晒太阳的温暖感。

56.written 57.tasty 58.connection 59.suffering 60.first
61.with 62.but 63.to conduct 64. have built 65.which
语篇解读
以魏源颂为代表的中国科学家经过多次的实地考察和研究,最终让斯里兰卡CKDu病区的人民成功喝上“放心水”。
答案详析
56.written。 分析句子结构可知,本句已有谓语动词,此处应用非谓语动词。动词 write 与其逻辑主语a thank-you letter之间为被动关系,应用过去分词形式,故填 written。"written in Sinhalcse... Sri Lankan villagc”作后置定语,修饰a thank-you letter。
57.tasty 所填词和safe为并列关系,一起修饰 drinking water,应用形容词,故填tasty。
58.connection 此处指他和斯里兰卡的联系。“his...to Sri Lanka”在宾语从句中作主语,且空前有形容词性物主代词his,所填词应用名词,故填connection。
59. suffering 此处是with的复合结构。动词suffer与其逻辑主语over 40,000 people 之间是主动关系,应用现在分词形式,故填suffering。
60.first 根据语境可知,在2014年8月,魏源颂第一次造访斯里兰卡。此处应用序数词first,表示“第一次”。
61.with 此处指他们受到了冷落和怀疑。be greeted with表示“以某种方式或某种事物被迎接”,侧重描述迎接的方式,故填with。此处不填by,因为be greeted by表示“被某人或某物迎接”,侧重描述迎接的主体。
62.but 根据语境可知,许多当地人认为,中国人和其他外国研究人员一样,来这里并不是为了真正帮助他们,而是为了写论文。not...but...“不是······,而是······”,为固定结构,故填but。
63.to conduct 分析句子结构可知,本句已有谓语动词,此处应用非谓语动词。此处指自2015年3月以来,魏源颂和其他中国科学家们频繁访问斯里兰卡,以对适合当地条件的水处理解决方案进行深入的研究。此处是动词不定式作目的状语,故填to conduct。
64.have built 分析句子结构可知,所填词是本句的谓语动词。根据句中的时间状语So far可知,此处应用现在完成时。动词build和主语“the Chinese Academy of Sciences and its partners”之间是主动关系,且主语是复数概念,故填have built。
65.which 分析句子结构可知,所填词引导非限制性定语从句并且在从句中作主语,先行词是four drinking water facilities,指物,故填关系代词which。

Family-Friendly Things to Do in Texas
Search for shark bones in the Ladonia Fossil(化石) Park
In the Ladonia Fossil Park, visitors will find a wooly mammoth (猛犸), shark bones, and ancient stones between 145 and 65 million years ago. After a heavy rain, visitors can go through the mud for newly-appearing fossils. Consider bringing a tool to help free anything from the mud. You can take anything you find with you as long as it doesn't have scientific importance.
Trace(追踪)the tracks of dinosaurs in the Paluxy riverbed
In the Dinosaur Valley State Park, kids can see some of the best-protected dinosaur tracks. Because the tracks are located in the riverbed, water sometimes covers them. Entry to the park is free of charge, but be sure to check the park's website before visiting to find which trails are open and if the tracks are visible.
Go surfing in South Padre Island
Along Texas'Gulf Coast, get into the water with the family and have surfing lessons given by professional coaches and former Hawaiian lifeguards, who teach all year round at Isla Blanca Beach. Soft surfboards are also for rent for those with excellent surfing skills to paddle out on their own.
Behold baby bats on their first flights at Bracken Cave Preserve
Mexican free-tailed bats appear in mass every evening from May to September at Bracken Cave Preserve. Bookings must be made ahead of time to visit, and you should plan to spend three hours on-site during the guided tours while waiting for the bats.

Despite the fact that motherhood has not been easy, Maxi Aubi believes that her son, Gianluca, has taught her much.
Gianluca was born 13 years ago with Angelman Syndrome, a genetic disease. Maxi was never afraid about the fact that she did not know what this condition was about. She had to get out there and face the music. “When he was a newborn baby, he used to cry all day long. He wouldn’t eat or sleep. It was an endless cycle. We ran some tests and doctors told us his progress depended on us. But it was evident that something was wrong with him. So we visited several doctors and ran some other tests until he was five,” she explains.
Despite all of this, Maxi designed a treatment plan for Gianluca. It did not matter what he was suffering from; she believed love was the “medicine” that could heal him. She formed a group of ten people of different ages outside her family who were willing to help Gianluca’s development. These people would come to her house in shifts from 9 AM to 7 PM with only one goal: to show Gianluca that he could achieve whatever he wanted. “We started encouraging him with games. During those two or three years, he learnt how to walk and he made huge progress,” she remembers.
Learning about her child’s diagnosis was a starting point for Maxi. To help relieve the pain of parents whose children suffered from the same condition, she created the Association for Parents coping with Angelman Syndrome (APSA) which currently has about a hundred families. Living with these children is very enriching. This is why the association is not only working to provide support and guidance for the families of children with this condition; it also wants to tell people that they can also learn from these children. “We want them to come and experience what we learnt from our children,” she says.

The world is full of the sounds of animals communicating with each other: birds singing, crickets chirping, whales singing songs in the deep. Until now animal “language” has been a mystery to humanity. But now, all that may change. As AI technology and machine learning develop into new fields and areas, scientists are using it to interpret animal language.
More than 50 years ago researchers recorded the beautiful songs of humpback whales (座头鲸) and shared them with the world, which opened up a whole new field of study: whale communication. As the technology advanced, so did the field.
Scientific American reports that there is the Earth Species Project: a team of AI scientists, biologists, and conservationists who are building a machine-learning model that uses data from a wide range of animals to figure out what their actions and sounds mean. In addition, there are projects that focus on only one particular species such as the Project Cetacean Translation Initiative (CETI) which hopes to translate the language of sperm whales using AI.
CETI hopes that if humans can understand what’s going on inside whales’ minds—and, eventually, the minds of other animals—it might inspire greater conservation measures. The group has good reason to believe it could. In the 1960s, when researchers discovered that humpback whales sing to each other, for instance, their work led to the wildly successful Save the Whales campaign. Seriously threatened for decades, humpback and gray whale populations started to recover.
Marine biologists and computer scientists worked together to analyze the most comprehensive database of whale sounds. They did a study to see if they could design a tailored machine learning program capable of spotting familiar sequences within these interactions, much as humans have recognizable conversational patterns. The result was a new kind of processing model able to anticipate what some whales might communicate next.
This kind of work isn’t limited to whales. Across the natural world, scientists are increasingly turning to artificial intelligence for help to understand the lives of animals.
28. How does the author present the issue of animal language?
A By quoting an expert. B. By giving examples.
C. By defining a concept. D. By providing statistics.
29. What does the author try to explain by mentioning the discovery in the 1960s?
A. Whale populations continue to grow. B. The government supports whale study.
C. Research contributes to decision-making. D. Scientific study helps protective measures.
30. What is one of the researchers’ findings about whale communication?
A. Its content can be predicted. B. It follows traditional patterns.
C. Its frequency can be spotted. D. It has been copied by humans.
31. What is the best title of the text?
A. The AI Tools in Biological Research B. The Mystery of Whale Communication
C. Using AI to Interpret Animal Language D. The Ways of Translating Animal Language

Thwaites is the widest glacier(冰川)in the world. It holds 480,000 km3 of ice. Right now, it's losing about 80 km3 per year. And its ice loss continues to speed up as the world warms. If Thwaites were to break down, it would send out enough ice to cause disastrous sea-level rise worldwide. And even if humans stop producing climate-warming gases in the near future, this still might not prevent a breakdown.
So a few scientists are studying whether glacial engineering could prevent or delay the sea-level rise. Slawek Tulaczyk, a glaciologist, is one of the people pushing for this to happen. "Maybe the conclusion will be that we should not do it, or that we won't be able to do it," he says. But he believes that scientists should at least look into the possibility.
Tulaczyk has long thought about engineering ice flows. In the 1990s, he studied a coastal site
in West Antarctica, nearly 1, 200 kilometers east of Thwaites. Six huge glaciers flowed off that coastline. Most of them slid 300 to 700 meters forward each year. But scientists found that one, the Kamb Ice Stream, flowed only two percent that fast. Kamb had once moved as quickly as the others. Then, some 150 years ago, it almost stopped.
A thin layer of liquid water lies under most glaciers, which lets them slide over rough beds of stone smoothly. That water comes from a slow melting of ice on the glacier's bottom. It melts because of the heat of friction(摩擦)and the heat that comes out of the ground from deep in the Earth.
Tulaczyk and some others thought a loss of this water layer might have slowed Kamb. Like a
river jumping its banks, that water seemed to have moved elsewhere. By the late 2000s, Tulaczyk was wondering if it might be possible to slow other glaciers by copying what happened at Kamb. He imagined drilling holes through a glacier and taking out the water below. This might eventually freeze the glacier to its bed, stopping the ice from moving for years or centuries.
Tulaczyk and others warn that glacial engineering would never be a silver bullet. Even if it saves Thwaites or other glaciers in Antarctica, it may not protect glaciers in the Arctic, where temperatures are warmer.
32.What is Tulaczyk's opinion on preventing the sea-level rise?
A. It is totally impossible.
B. Glacial engineering is the only way.
C. Humans must act to remove greenhouse gases.
D. Doing something is better than never trying.
33.Why did the Kamb Ice Stream flow more slowly?
A.It was located in a colder region. B.It was almost frozen to the seabed.
C.The glacier melted at a slower speed. D.The water layer beneath it disappeared.
34.How did Tulaczyk propose to stop glaciers flowing?
A. By filling freezing air through holes. B. By forcing them to jump their banks.
C. By removing the water under glaciers. D. By building barriers to block their movement.
35.What does the text mainly talk about?
A. A newfound glacier in Antarctica.
B. A potential approach to slowing the sea-level rise.
C. The effects of climate change on Arctic glaciers.
D. The history of glacial research in the 20th century.

In scientist Wei Yuansong’s office drawer is a thank-you letter 56 (write) in Sinhalese and signed by an entire Sri Lanka village. “ We express our heartfelt gratitude to Professor Wei for providing us with safe and 57 (taste) drinking water,” the villagers wrote.
Wei says his 58 (connect) to Sri Lanka began in August 2013, when he received an email from Dr S.K. Weragoda about working together on water treatment to address Chronic Kidney Disease of Unknown Etiology (CKDu). At that time, CKDu was a major pubic health problem in Sri Lanka, with over 40,000 people 59 (suffer) from the disease since the mid-1990s.
In August 2014, Wei made his 60 (one) visit to Sri Lanka to undertake a research journey with Weragoda. Each day, they traveled for hours along bumpy roads deep into the affected areas, and paid home visits to villagers. They were greeted 61 cold shoulders and doubts. “Many local people thought the Chinese, like other foreign researchers, were there not to really help them, 62 to write papers,” Wei says. They negotiated difficult conversations to gain trust, eventually being allowed to take crucial samples for analysis.
Since March 2015, Wei has visited Sri Lanka frequently with other Chinese scientists 63 (conduct) thorough research into water treatment solutions suitable to local conditions. So far, the Chinese Academy of Sciences and its partners 64 (build) four drinking water facilities in Sri Lanka, 65 provide safe drinking water to over 5,000 villager.

Joyce is in the fourth grade and he joined the noisy children of his class as usual. “Children! Silence!” Mangat Madam suddenly entered the class. She announced next week would be math week. “I’d like each of you to work on a project. You could do it individually or in a group.” she instructed. “The topic for the project needs approval tomorrow and it has to be displayed at the math week exhibition. The best project will be awarded and there is also a surprise gift from my side,” she added.
Joyce, who is extremely good at math, sat in the corner seat of the first bench with Karan, an average student. Karan asked Joyce if they could work on the math project together. Joyce replied in a prideful tone, “Ha-ha, you want to join me. I think I will do the project on my own.” Joyce wanted to get awarded and the surprise gift all for himself from Mangat Madam.
After deep consideration, Joyce decided to work on a math magic quiz on the circuit board (电路板). The next day in school, Mangat Madam arrived in the classroom and all the children submitted their topics for math exhibition. They all chose to work in a group except Joyce. In the following days, Joyce gathered all the materials for the project such as wires, bulbs(灯泡),a switch and a thin plywood board(胶合板). He worked out a few basic mathematical operations to be fixed on the board so that when the wire of the circuit touched the right answer, the bulb glowed. Joyce completed the project and was happy with the result.
The evening before the exhibition, while packing his school bags, Joyce again checked the project to see if it was working fine. Alas! All the lights that were to glow did not seem to light at all. Without finding the reason, Joyce tensed. However, he decided to take the same project to the school as he couldn’t change the topic at the last minute. Then came the next day, and everybody was fascinated in the exhibition.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
