Affectionately known as Temple Town, Siem Reap (暹粒) in Cambodia has been rapidly developing over recent years to cater to tourists that stream through to witness the wonders of the Angkor Archaeological Park. Aside from these awe-inspiring ancient structures, there are plenty of other things to see and do, as well as countless places to eat and drink, and make the most of your nights out. Most people enjoy a night on the tiles of Siem Reap without incident, but street theft, scams, and other petty crimes can never be completely discounted in any major tourist destinations in the region. Pick pocketing and bag theft are the most common incidents, but can easily be avoided by simple use of common sense. Be aware that locals are very proud people, and displays of anger or rudeness from a foreigner are never well received.
You can guarantee yourself a great night by being cool and smart by following some basic rules:
※Don’t carry more money than you need: there are plenty of ATMS across town, and most Siem Reap establishments are relatively accessible.
※Try to keep to main roads and avoid walking alone, especially if you are lost.
※Keep wallets, handbags, mobile phones and cameras close to you, and don’t leave your belongings unattended anywhere: reducing the opportunities for theft is the best way to reduce the likelihood of it happening.
※Be careful (ladies especially)on motors or tuk-tuks not to leave bags hanging loosely over your shoulder. Keep them out of reach of passers-by, and the same goes for cameras too.
※If you hire a motorbike, try to buy your own padlock and never leave it unlocked, unless it’s in a ticket parking place
※Be polite and friendly with local people, whatever the situation.
※Negotiate your fare to avoid problems later.

In front of a popular restaurant, a line of customers wait for taxis. And wait. Most of the cabs(taxis) are full. That’s nothing unusual in this city of 4 million people. But it’s 2:30 in the morning.
Visitors to the Olympic Games may leave disappointed if they see Athens only through the eyes of the typical tourist, who makes a beeline of the islands after the visit to the Acropolis(雅典卫城) and the unusual and attractive Plaka district. To fully appreciate and discover Athens’ many charms(魅力), do as the Greeks do: walk out into the neighborhoods, find the packed nightclubs, eat at one of the innumerable(数不清的) restaurants, or see Hollywood stars under real stars in a romantic outdoor cinema.
The Greek capital is named for the ancient goddess Athena, whose favourite animal was the owl(猫头鹰). It’s a fitting symbol for the city’s nocturnal (夜里的) nature, which often reaches its highest point in summer with a rush hour just before dawn.
As native Athenian Panos Demestiha said, Athens by day is unlivable(不宜居住的), but it’s magical at night. Athenians face up to heavy traffic block, decreasing green space, dusty streets… City officials are using the momentum(契机) of the August 13-29 Olympics to fix some of these problems and make city life more bearable.
4.To the surprise of the visitors to Athens , ____.

Alaska’s Mendenhall glacier (冰川) is about 20 minutes by car from Juneau, the state capital. It is one of the area’s most popular sites for tourists. But climate change has caused the ice to melt and the glacier to retreat (消退). That means it is losing more snow and ice than it gains. Researchers say the Mendenhall glacier retreated about 800 meters between 2007 and 2021.
Mendenhall pours down from rocky land between mountains and into a lake filled with icebergs. Special signs mark the glacier’s retreat, showing where the ice once stood. Experts estimate that by 2050, people will not be able to see the Mendenhall glacier from the visitor centre that was built for it. That is already the case at some other glacier visitor centres in Alaska.
The melting glacier leads to questions for the Alaskan tourism industry. How can tourism leaders help protect the glaciers for visitors to enjoy? And should there be limits on the number of tourists to the area?
Tourism is an important part of Juneau’s economy. About 1.6 million cruise ship (游轮) passengers are expected to stop in Juneau. On especially busy days, 20,000 people arrive each day to a city that has only 30,000 full-time residents.
Manoj Pillai is a cruise ship worker from India. He recently got off his ship and went to see the Mendenhall glacier. “The glacier is so beautiful now,” he said. But he wondered what it must have looked like 10 or 20 years ago and what it would look like in the following days.
People have many reasons to want to visit Alaska, and all the visitors help the state’s economy. But in Juneau, tourism officials are questioning whether the city and surrounding areas can deal with so many visitors each year. City leaders and major cruise lines have agreed to a daily five-ship limit for next year. But critics worry that may not do much to reduce tourist numbers because the ships themselves keep getting bigger. Some Juneau residents say they would like one day a week without ships.
8.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A.The Mendenhall glacier. B.The special sign.
C.The glacier’s retreat. D.The tourism industry.
9.What is Manoj Pillai’s attitude towards the future of the Mendenhall glacier?
A.Confident. B.Annoyed. C.Concerned. D.Uninterested.
10.What conclusion can be drawn from the last paragraph?
A.New cruise ship routes will be added in the future.
B.Alaska’s tourism has lost its appeal to tourists.
C.The local government attaches great importance to tourism safety.
D.The large number of tourists has brought negative impacts.
11.Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A.Climate Change Creates Questions for Alaska’s Tourist Economy
B.Residents in Juneau Are Anxiously Awaiting a Decision
C.The Best Way to Visit Amazing Alaska Is by Taking a Cruise Ship
D.The Glaciers Are Disappearing, Changing the Face of Alaska

Arthur Lih of Massapequa sold his first LifeVac, a device to help save people’s life, to a fire department about 18 months ago, when the Jericho Fire Department purchased 21 of the devices. Now about 10 Long Island fire departments have purchased Lih’s invention, which is designed to draw foreign objects from the throats of choking victims when procedures such as the Heimlich Maneuver (海姆立克急救法) don’t work. He has sold about 5,000 LifeVac devices in the United States and abroad since the device went on the market in August 2014.
The Freeport Fire Department is one of Lih’s clients. It bought about 25 LifeVac devices to put on trucks, as well as in chiefs’ vehicles, said Ray Maguire, the department’s executive director. “It’s an extra tool in the toolbox,” Maguire said. “I’d be surprised if anyone who sees it doesn’t purchase it. It’s that tool you may only need once, but it’s the tool you really want in case you need it. It’s affordable. I have it in my car. I have one at home, too.”
Dr. Lee Smith at Northwell Health said that if a choking victim can’t breathe, he or she becomes a candidate for the Heimlich. If the Heimlich doesn’t work, the victim would probably lose consciousness because of a lack of oxygen.
A challenge for any new medical device is convincing potential users that it works and is safe. In tests, the LifeVac successfully removed an obstruction (阻塞物) from the throat of a dead human body on the first try 49 out of 50 times, according to an August research article in the American Journal of Emergency Medicine.
Lih invented the product in his garage, inspired after he went with a friend to a hospital while the friend’s mother was going through tests. The friend said the last time he was there, a 7-year-old child had choked to death on a grape.
12.What’s the function of the LifeVac device?
A.To put out the fire. B.To remove foreign objects.
C.To design procedures. D.To treat victims’ throats.
13.What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us about the invention?
A.Its target users. B.Its practical necessity.
C.Its major advantages. D.Its reasonable price
14.What inspired Lih to invent the product?
A.A kid’s death. B.His client’s suggestion.
C.A garage accident. D.Material rewards.
15.What is the text mainly about?
A.A productive inventor. B.A convincing cure.
C.An anti-choking device. D.An important toolbox.

47.阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
Sapphire Fish lived with her mom, dad, sister Mariana, and baby brother Matthew in a blue house across the street from the Elizabeth River. Sapphire loved the water. Maybe it was because her last name was Fish.
Sapphire liked to make sailboats out of paper. Taking a plain square, Sapphire folded and folded until two wide sails appeared. Then she tested the boats in the bathtub. No matter how hard she tried, though, Sapphire couldn’t keep the boats from slowly sinking into the water.
So Sapphire folded more and more paper and made bigger or smaller sails. But still the boats tipped over and disappeared underneath the surface of the water. Sometimes, the boats sank very slowly. Other times, an entire boat got pulled quickly underneath the water, almost like an invisible hand was grabbing it.
One day, the sky grew dark and the wind whistled against the house. Rain fell all day. And all night. In the afternoon, the rain finally stopped. Sapphire looked outside the living room window. There was water everywhere! The river ran right into the street and was filling up Sapphire’s front porch (前门廊).
The next day, Sapphire put on her blue boots that squeaked when she walked. She ran outside to the muddy front yard, where the river had been the day before.
Sapphire looked down at her feet and noticed something shiny and silvery. The most beautiful silver fish was wiggling in the wet mud. It was trying to get back to its home in the river.
Sapphire was scared. She knew that fish couldn’t breathe out of water. Either she had to return the fish to his family in the river or bring the fish inside her house and give him water. But how? Her mother had forbidden her to walk past the tree in the front yard. Waves of water still covered the street. It was too dangerous.
She couldn’t put him in a bowl of water from her house. The water from her sink (水槽) was very different from the river water the fish was used to. He might get sick living in the bowl.
注意:
1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右;
2.至少使用5个短文中标有下划线的关键词语;

【导语】这是一篇说明文。介绍了阿拉斯加冰川是最受游客欢迎的景点。但气候变化导致冰川融化,这给当地旅游带来新的挑战。
8.词义猜测题。文章第二段第三句“Experts estimate that by 2050, people will not be able to see the Mendenhall glacier from the visitor centre that was built for it. ”(专家估计,到2050年,人们将无法从为其建造的游客中心看到门登霍尔冰川。)可知,it指的是the Mendenhall glacier.故选A项。
9.推理判断题。文章第五段“Manoj Pillai is a cruise ship worker from India. He recently got off his ship and went to see the Mendenhall glacier. “The glacier is so beautiful now,” he said. But he wondered what it must have looked like 10 or 20 years ago and what it would look like in the following days.”(Manoj Pillai是一名来自印度的游轮工人。他最近下船去看了门登霍尔冰川。“现在冰川太美了,”他说。但他想知道10年或20年前它一定是什么样子,以及接下来的日子会是什么样子。)可知,Manoj Pillai对于门登霍尔冰川未来会是怎么样表示担忧。故选C项。

D
Arthur Lih of Massapequa sold his first LifeVac, a device to help save people’s life, to a fire department about 18 months ago, when the Jericho Fire Department purchased 21 of the devices. Now about 10 Long Island fire departments have purchased Lih’s invention, which is designed to draw foreign objects from the throats of choking victims when procedures such as the Heimlich Maneuver (海姆立克急救法) don’t work. He has sold about 5,000 LifeVac devices in the United States and abroad since the device went on the market in August 2014.
The Freeport Fire Department is one of Lih’s clients. It bought about 25 LifeVac devices to put on trucks, as well as in chiefs’ vehicles, said Ray Maguire, the department’s executive director. “It’s an extra tool in the toolbox,” Maguire said. “I’d be surprised if anyone who sees it doesn’t purchase it. It’s that tool you may only need once, but it’s the tool you really want in case you need it. It’s affordable. I have it in my car. I have one at home, too.”
Dr. Lee Smith at Northwell Health said that if a choking victim can’t breathe, he or she becomes a candidate for the Heimlich. If the Heimlich doesn’t work, the victim would probably lose consciousness because of a lack of oxygen.
A challenge for any new medical device is convincing potential users that it works and is safe. In tests, the LifeVac successfully removed an obstruction (阻塞物) from the throat of a dead human body on the first try 49 out of 50 times, according to an August research article in the American Journal of Emergency Medicine.
Lih invented the product in his garage, inspired after he went with a friend to a hospital while the friend’s mother was going through tests. The friend said the last time he was there, a 7-year-old child had choked to death on a grape.
12.What’s the function of the LifeVac device?
A.To put out the fire. B.To remove foreign objects.
C.To design procedures. D.To treat victims’ throats.
13.What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us about the invention?
A.Its target users. B.Its practical necessity.
C.Its major advantages. D.Its reasonable price
14.What inspired Lih to invent the product?
A.A kid’s death. B.His client’s suggestion.
C.A garage accident. D.Material rewards.
15.What is the text mainly about?
A.A productive inventor. B.A convincing cure.
C.An anti-choking device. D.An important toolbox.
【答案】12.B 13.B 14.A 15.C
【导语】本文为一篇新闻报道。文章介绍了马萨皮加的亚瑟·李在听闻了海姆立克急救法无法解救一个被葡萄噎着的7岁的孩子,最终窒息而死的事件之后,在自家车库里发明了一套救生设备,能帮助从窒息受害者的喉咙中抽出异物,他的这套设备有效且安全,已销售5000套。
【详解】12.细节理解题。根据第一段“Arthur Lih of Massapequa sold his first LifeVac, a device to help save people’s life, to a fire department about 18 months ago, when the Jericho Fire Department purchased 21 of the devices. Now about 10 Long Island fire departments have purchased Lih’s invention, which is designed to draw foreign objects from the throats of choking victims when procedures such as the Heimlich Maneuver (海姆立克急救法) don’t work. (大约18个月前,马萨皮加的亚瑟·李把他的第一台救生设备卖给了一个消防部门,当时杰里科消防部门购买了21台这个救生设备。现在大约有10个长岛消防部门购买了李的发明,该发明旨在当海姆利克氏急救法等程序不起作用时,从窒息受害者的喉咙中抽出异物。)”可知,李发明的 LifeVac是救生设备,用来取出窒息受害者的喉咙中的异物。故选B项。
13.主旨大意题。根据第二段“The Freeport Fire Department is one of Lih’s clients. It bought about 25 LifeVac devices to put on trucks, as well as in chiefs’ vehicles, said Ray Maguire, the department’s executive director. ‘It’s an extra tool in the toolbox,’ Maguire said. ‘I’d be surprised if anyone who sees it doesn’t purchase it. It’s that tool you may only need once, but it’s the tool you really want in case you need it. It’s affordable. I have it in my car. I have one at home, too.’ (自由港消防局是李的客户之一。该部门的执行主任雷·马奎尔说,他们购买了大约25台LifeVac设备,安装在卡车上,以及局长们的车辆上。‘这是工具箱里的一个额外工具,’马奎尔说。‘如果看到它的人不购买它,我会感到惊讶。这种工具你可能只需要一次,但它是你真正想要的工具,以防你需要它。它是负担得起的。我车里就有。我家里也有一个。’)”可知,借助于客户,宣传这个发明是一个非常实用的必需品,车上配一个,可做到有备无患。故选B项。
14.细节理解题。根据最后一段“Lih invented the product in his garage, inspired after he went with a friend to a hospital while the friend’s mother was going through tests. The friend said the last time he was there, a 7-year-old child had choked to death on a grape. (李在他的车库里发明了这款产品,灵感出自于他和一个朋友去医院,当时朋友的母亲正在做检查。这位朋友说,上次他在那里的时候,一个7岁的孩子被一颗葡萄噎死。)”可知,这个孩子被葡萄噎着了,但是去了医院也没被救回来,说明海姆立克急救法没奏效,这个孩子的死亡促成Lih发明这个救生设备。故选A项。
15.主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第一段“Now about 10 Long Island fire departments have purchased Lih’s invention, which is designed to draw foreign objects from the throats of choking victims when procedures such as the Heimlich Maneuver (海姆立克急救法) don’t work. (现在大约有10个长岛消防部门购买了李的发明,该发明旨在当海姆利克氏急救法等程序不起作用时,从窒息受害者的喉咙中抽出异物。)”,以及第四段“A challenge for any new medical device is convincing potential users that it works and is safe. In tests, the LifeVac successfully removed an obstruction (阻塞物) from the throat of a dead human body on the first try 49 out of 50 times, according to an August research article in the American Journal of Emergency Medicine. (任何新型医疗设备都面临着一个挑战,那就是让潜在用户相信它是有效和安全的。根据《美国急诊医学杂志》8月份发表的一篇研究文章,在测试中,LifeVac在50次尝试中有49次成功地从死人的喉咙中移除了阻塞物。)”可知,本文介绍了Lih发明的可以防止喉咙处异物阻塞致死的一套设备。故选C项。

The Chinatown in San Francisco is the biggest in America, and also the oldest, It is a very popular tourist draw that receives more visitors each year than even the Golden Gate Bridge. 16 , which means that it is always a good time to visit.

Traditionally, visitors enter Chinatown through the legendary Dragon Gate, which was built using materials donated from China. Other famous sites include the Tin How Temple and Bank of Canton, to name but a few. Visitors can also spend hours just exploring the interesting sights, smells, and sounds of China. 18 . It has a long and famous history, with the author Robert Louis Stevenson having spent much time writing there. These days, the square is a great place to see traditional Chinese culture in real life, such as games of Chinese chess, and people practising tai chi.

22.I have whole bunch of stuff to do this morning. (用适当的词填空)

第二节(满分25分)
47.阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
Sapphire Fish lived with her mom, dad, sister Mariana, and baby brother Matthew in a blue house across the street from the Elizabeth River. Sapphire loved the water. Maybe it was because her last name was Fish.
Sapphire liked to make sailboats out of paper. Taking a plain square, Sapphire folded and folded until two wide sails appeared. Then she tested the boats in the bathtub. No matter how hard she tried, though, Sapphire couldn’t keep the boats from slowly sinking into the water.
So Sapphire folded more and more paper and made bigger or smaller sails. But still the boats tipped over and disappeared underneath the surface of the water. Sometimes, the boats sank very slowly. Other times, an entire boat got pulled quickly underneath the water, almost like an invisible hand was grabbing it.
One day, the sky grew dark and the wind whistled against the house. Rain fell all day. And all night. In the afternoon, the rain finally stopped. Sapphire looked outside the living room window. There was water everywhere! The river ran right into the street and was filling up Sapphire’s front porch (前门廊).
The next day, Sapphire put on her blue boots that squeaked when she walked. She ran outside to the muddy front yard, where the river had been the day before.
Sapphire looked down at her feet and noticed something shiny and silvery. The most beautiful silver fish was wiggling in the wet mud. It was trying to get back to its home in the river.
Sapphire was scared. She knew that fish couldn’t breathe out of water. Either she had to return the fish to his family in the river or bring the fish inside her house and give him water. But how? Her mother had forbidden her to walk past the tree in the front yard. Waves of water still covered the street. It was too dangerous.
She couldn’t put him in a bowl of water from her house. The water from her sink (水槽) was very different from the river water the fish was used to. He might get sick living in the bowl.
注意:
1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右;
2.至少使用5个短文中标有下划线的关键词语;
3.续写部分分为两段,每段的开头已为你写好;
4.续写完成后,请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。
Paragraph 1:
Suddenly, Sapphire had an idea.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
The wind pushed the boat along, past the street, and the boat was about to enter the Elizabeth River.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Suddenly, Sapphire had an idea. She rushed into the room and fetched all the paper boats that she had made. She believed these abandoned boats would be put to good use. She chose one of the boats that sank very slowly and gently put the fish into the “slowly sinking” boat. Finally, the boat floated on the water of the street. Sapphire hoped that the boat would not tip over until it sent the fish into the Elizabeth River.
The wind pushed the boat along, past the street, and the boat was about to enter the Elizabeth River. Sapphire was so excited that she shouted for her mother to come out and look. Finally, they saw the boat sink into the river. They seemed to see the shiny thing dart into the river. Sapphire felt that she had made the best use of her little boat. She saved a fish and let it go home. She thought it was her destiny with the fish and the boat.
【分析】通过所给文章,Sapphire是一个可爱的小姑娘,她家住的街对面有一条河。Sapphire很喜欢折纸船,但她每次折的纸船都没有试验成功,它们最终都在或长或短的时间内沉到浴缸里。有一天,由于下大雨,河水涨到了街上。Sapphire看到一条小鱼在她家院子的泥泞里挣扎,她想把它放回河里去,但是河水还没有退去,很危险。如果把小鱼放到家里的水槽里,她又怕小鱼不适应,她很担心,不知该怎么办,这时她想到一个主意。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“突然,Sapphire有了主意。”可知,第一段可描写Sapphire想到了办法,她要利用那些纸船把小鱼送回河里去。
②由第二段首句内容“风推着船往前走,经过了街道,船即将进入伊丽莎白河。”可知,第二段可描写Sapphire看到小鱼被纸船成功送回河里,她因为自己救了小鱼的生命而感到无比快乐。
2.续写线索:想到办法——利用纸船——送回河里——小鱼回家——无比开心
3.词汇激活
行为类
①利用:make use of/take advantage of
②回家:go back home/return home
③大喊:shout for/call out to
