奥克兰:帆船之都
Any trip to New Zealand should include a
visit to Auckland.Auckland is the country's
largest city and it has a population of over 1.6
million.It sits on a narrow(狭窄的)piece of
land on New Zealand's North Island.A
Auckland is between two beautiful harbours(
湾),and it's known as the City of Sails because
of all the boats that can be seen near the city.
The Maori people began to live in the area
in the 1300s.The British arrived about five
hundred years later.They named the area after
a popular English leader.Since then,Auckland
has developed into an exciting modern city that
still has the charm of a small town.B
The land around the city is full of green
hills,and there are many great beaches along
Auckland's east coast.It's easy to travel around
Auckland because of the city's train lines,ferry
(渡船)services,and well-kept roads and
bridges.C With its warm summers and
quiet winters,Auckland is a great place to visit
any time of the year,but the main tourist
season is between December and February.
Auckland is a great city for families and
single(单个的)travellers..For the best
shopping and great restaurants,head to the
Central Business District.D At the Sky
Tower,wear a safety harness((安全带)and try
out the SkyWalk and SkyJump activities.The
SkyWalk is a special experience that allows

visitors to walk outside on a platform(平台)at
the top of the Sky Tower.And the SkyJump is
an exciting activity that includes jumping off the
Sky Tower's edge!
The Auckland War Memorial Museum
offers great history lessons about the Maori
people and New Zealand.Next,finish your trip
to Auckland with a visit to the beach.Here you
can take a boat around the harbour and enjoy
the freshest seafood that you can imagine.To
get away from city life,head south to Mt.
Eden.It offers the perfect spot for a picnic and
a beautiful 360-degree view of Auckland.You'll
be amazed by all of New Zealand's natural
beauty.

One possible version:
Today,I'm honoured to introduce three great Chinese
people to you.They're Zhan Tianyou,Tu Youyou and
Yuan Longping.
Zhan Tianyou is the "Father of China's Railroad".He
built China's first railway-the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway.
Tu Youyou is a great scientist and she found new
medicine to fight malaria,and her spirit of never giving up
is worth learning.
Yuan Longping is considered the "Father of Hybrid
Rice".He devoted all his life to the research and
development of better rice plants.He solved the problem of
hunger for people not only in China but also in many other
countries.
As students,we should learn from them.

hundred years later.”可知,英国人l9世纪来到奥克兰。
2.Between December and February./From December to
February.由第三段中“..but the main tourist season is
between December and February..”可知,游览奥克兰最好
的时间为12月与2月之间。
3.in Blank D.由下文提及“在天空塔,系上安全带,尝试
一下空中漫步和高空跳活动。”可知,上文对应表示:要俯
瞰城市,不要错过天空塔。

Eden.It offers the perfect spot for a picnic and a beautiful
360-degree view of Auckland.”可知,在伊甸山可以360度

Many important inventions were made by young
people.Let me give you some examples.
In 1986,a girl named Katie Handing invented an
umbrella with a torch on it so that she would not walk into
pools if there was rainwater at night.

invented a vehicle to use in the snow called a snowmobile.
Another young inventor was Raymond Kurzweil.He
began writing computer programs at 15.In 1976,he
invented a computer that could read for blind people.It is
called the Kurzweil Reading Machine.
听第二篇短文,回答第16一20小题。
I feel really sad these days because of the English test
last week.I got a C in it.And my parents were a little
angry.My English teacher said I did well in reading and
writing,but I was poor in listening.So I asked him for
help.He gave me some suggestions to improve my
listening skills.Firstly,before listening,I need to relax.I
shouldn't get nervous or excited.Secondly,listen carefully
to the first sentence.The first sentence tells a lot about the
whole passage.Thirdly,when you're listening,try to do
some thinking.This way you may understand the passage
better.Fourthly,listen to the key words.Finally,don't
think about one or two words for too long.You may hear
some words that you don't know,but don't spend too
much time on them,or you'll miss more.I hope I can get
good grades in the English test next Friday.
