The second waste of time is that the rate of learning is 40after the long summer vacation.It is just like an athlete that has been injured or stopped training for a while.When he starts training again,he realizes he has lost so much fitness and it is very 41work.Students who 42 study altogether in the summer find it very hard to get back into the routine of school life at the beginning of the new term. The third 43 for going to summer school is that students who don't go will come back to school in a worse 44 than those who did attend.45,the research proves summer school helps students to remember the knowledge they have gained during the previous year.To go back to the athlete example,it's like asking someone who hasn't been training to46against someone who has been training for weeks.There is no 47 in my mind that summer school is of great benefit to students.I would say,48,that summer school should mix study and fun so that going to summer school is a(n)49 experience.In this way,students can come baek for the new school year feeling refreghed and 50 that they have not forgotten the valuable knowledge they gained during the previous school year. 31.A.explained B.complained C.thought D.cared 32.A.benefits B.problems C.answers D.lessons 33.A.leave B.gain C.forget D.review 2 34.A.give way to B.Insist on C.put off D.concentrate on 35.A.before B.since C.after D.at 36.A.refuse B.guess C.predict D.understand 37.A.oldest B last C.latest D.only 38.A.addicted B.led C.devoted D.accustomed 39.A.obviously B.probably C.gradually D.normally 40.A.higher B.slower C.faster D.regular 41.A.rewarding B.dangerous C.thrilling D.hard 42.A.complete B.conduct C.abandon D.continue 43.A.rule B.choice C.excuse D reason 44 A.condition B.attitude service D.habit 45.A.Thus B.Yet C.Instead D.Again 46.A.g0 B.compete C.fight D.argue 47.A.doubt B.wonder C.evidence D.way 48.A.otherwise B.besides C.therefore D.nevertheless 49.A.terrible B.new C.enjoyable D.common 50 A.curious B.confident C.surprised D.natural 第三部分阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2.5分,满分50分) 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。 Costa Rica is a Central American country.It's a great country to travel around and explore!Call our Costa Rica Project Consultant ()Karen Herring,for free advice on which volunteer project would be best for you.+44(0)1903502595 Conservation,Care and Release in Esparza Work with a project launched by a zoological park and non-profit organization.You'll be able to help with various kinds of work to protect these wonderful animals.

One day at a dinner event we were attending,our oldest daughter won a fish tank in a raffle () She and my husband were so excited that we stopped at PetSmart on the way home and bought our first pet fish. We chose a Betta()because they are so easy to care for,and they come in just so many amazing beautifl colors.The males are big and beautiful,while the females are smaller.You can even find baby ones that are teeny tiny. Over the years we've had a few Bettas-from Harry Potter and Darth Vader to Inspector Catfish Neverclean and Flaming Hot Lips Cheeto.Flaming Hot Lips Cheeto was my favorite.He had a beautiful rainbow-like pearl color,but his lips were bright reddish orange.After we had him for a few months Cheeto's color actually changed and the bright red orange started spreading throughout the rest of his body. Bettas are very low-maintenance(维护成本低的)fish;however,.they are also lonely fish and cannot be in the same tank with each other or they will fight to the death,so my husband made a plan to separate our aquarium (into two separate places.This way we could have two fish. Just because you have Betta fish doesn't mean you can't add other water life to your tank.We have ghost shrimp,which help clean the aquarium.Because they are somewhat invisible,they are very hard to find,so my kids love playing"Where's the shrimp?"You can hunt for a long time before finding one. My husband and our youngest daughter love to sit in front of the aquarium,and it's something they can do together.Watching a fish swim through the water is very calming and relaxing.You don't have to worry about a fish making too much noise like a barking dog.Best of all?Fish don't need to be walked! 55.Why does the author choose fish over cats and dogs as pets? A.Because she and her husband can't live with dogs or cats B.Because fish are easy to care for in general. C.Because her family are not fond of cats or dogs. D.Because her daughter won fish as a prize. 57.Which one is not the common feature of Bettas? A.They are very colorful and easy to keep. B.They can change color over time. C.The males are usually larger than the females. D.They tend to fight with each other in the same tank. 58.What can we know from the text? A.The author's family has two aquariums. B.The author's children prefer shrimp to Bettas. C.Ghost shrimp like to hide in the corner of the aquarium. D.Ghost shrimp can co-exist with Betta fish in the tank. 59.What can be learned from the last paragraph? A.Keeping fish is more fun than keeping dogs. B.Keeping fish as pets has its benefits. C.Keeping fish requires patience and practice. D.Finding the peace of mind is a difficult thing. 60.What is the text mainly about? A.An unforgettable surprise. B.A scientific study of Betta fish. C.The healing power of pet fish. D.The ideal way to design an aquarium. C The rich land of the Nile delta is being eroded (along Egypt's Mediterranean coast at an astonishing rate,in some parts expected at 100 metres per year.In the past,land washed away from the coastline by the currents of the Mediterranean Sea used to be replaced by sediment(沉淀物)brought down to the delta(三角 by the River Nile,but this is no longer happening. Up to now,people have blamed this loss of delta land on the two large Aswan dams in the south of Egypt, which hold back almost all of the sediment that used to flow down the river.Before the dams were built,the Nile flowed freely carrying huge quantities of sediment.But when the Aswan dams were constructed to provide electricity and irrigation ()and to protect the huge population centre of Cairo from annual flooding and drought,most of the sediment with its natural fertilizer built up above the dam in the southern upstream half of Lake Nasser,instead of passing down to the delta. Now,however,there turns out to be more to the story.It appears that the sediment-free water picks up sand as it erodes the river bed and banks on the 800-kilometre trip to Cairo.Daniel Jean Stanley of the Smithsonian Institute noticed that water samples taken in Cairo showed that the river sometimes carries more than 850 grams of sediment per cubic metre of water-almost half of what it carried before the dams were built. International environmental organizations are beginning to pay closer attention to the region,partly because of the problems of erosion and pollution of the Nile delta,but mainly because they fear the impact this situation could have on the whole Mediterranean coastal ecosystem. But there are no easy solutions.In the immediate future,Stanley believes that one solution would be to make man-made floods to flush out the delta waterways in the same way that natural floods did before the construction of the dams.He says,however,that in the long term an alternative process such as desalination (may have to be used to increase the amount of water available. What stopped the sediment coming down to the delta? A.The Mediterranean Sea. B.The River Nile. C.The Aswan dams. D.Lake Nasser. 62.Why were the Aswan dams built? A.To wash out the river beds. B.To offer electricity and protection. C.To make the water in the River Nile clean. D.To keep the soil in the region nearby nutrient-rich. 63.What can we infer from the third paragraph? A.There is no need to worry about the delta. B.The methods of measurement need improving. C.Whether the situation is good or not remains to be seen. D.The dams'consequences are beyond people's expectation. 64.What is the last paragraph mainly about? A.Difficulties to be settled. B.Rewards for the challenge. C.Severe influence of the situation. D.Possible solutions to the problem. 65.What is the author's attitude towards the problems of the Nile delta? A.Positive. B.Unclear. C.Concerned. D.Negative. D With all the wars,fighting and sadness in the world today,it's not only necessary,but also essential to have a good sense of humor just to help us get through each and every day of our lives.Putting a smile on someone's face when you know they are feeling down in the dumps(处于诅丧中),as the saying goes, makes me feel good and warms my heart. How would you feel if you could not joke around with your wife,husband,child,co-worker,neighbor, close friend,or even just someone that you are standing in line with at your comer store?I am always saying things that make others smile or laugh,even if I don't know the person I'm joking around with.My Grandma always found humor in everything she did,even if it was the hardest job anyone could imagine. This not only relieves stress in any situation,but also is common courtesy()to speak to others that are around you. I know of a few people that don't have a funny bone in their bodies,as they say.Everyone around them could be rolling on the floor after hearing a great joke and they would sit there without the slightest smile on their face.They don't get the joke that makes others laugh.I am busting a gut while they just sit there,looking at me as if I were from outer space.How can people not get a really funny joke? Laughing is essential to keep your stress levels under control.Without humor we would find ourselves with a lot of psychological problems,or on a lot of medications to keep us from going crazy.There is too much sadness in this present world.It drives people crazy.We all need to find a way to bypass the sadness and bring a little light into our lives.So,I believe our best medicine is to get together and tell some jokes and have some fun laughing together. 66.According to the author,humor is useful in the aspect that A.it makes people more confident B.it can pick up people's spirits C.it can help get rid of the cruelty in the world D.it can help people get on well with others 6 The author answers the question in the second paragraph with A.facts and descriptions B.evidence and argument C.examples and conclusion D.stories and persuasion 68.The phrase"busting a gut"in the third paragraph can be replaced by A.explaining carefully B.speaking loud C.keeping silent D.laughing hard 69 In writing the passage,the author mainly intends to A.talk about his own understanding of humor B.encourage people to be humorous in daily life C.introduce a practical way to get through daily life D.convince people of the power of being optimistic about life 70.Which of the following is the BEST title for the passage? A.World Sadness Report:2025 Global Crisis Data B.Laugh for Your Life:Humor as Daily Medicine C.Why Jokes Fail:The Science of Unfunny People D.Comedian:A Career Guide for You 第 卷 第四部分写作(共两节,满分35分) 第一节阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分) 阅读下面短文并回答问题,然后将答案写到相应的位置上(请注意问题后的词数要求) A UPS driver named Todd Holland was doing his rounds in Ashe County,North Carolina when he noticed that a package he dropped off four days ago was still at the front door.He knew the elderly man inside and something in his gute()told him something might be wrong. "I started beating on the door,hollering his name-Mr Wart,Mr Wart,and called the house again," Holland told WXII. Seeing that the door was unlocked,the UPS driver stuck his head in."That was when I saw him, lying on the floor."Holland called 911 and stayed with the man until the police came.It turned out that he'd been unconscious and lying on the ground for days,unable to get up. “I just wish I could have found him Friday,”said a choked-up(哽咽的)Holland to the television camera."A close friend of mine said it was just not in God's will to find him Friday,that God has got a
