All the different smells make us want to try the food. We are going to eat something special for dinner tonight. The hotel we are staying in is cheap and very clean. We plan to stay here for a few days, visit some places in the city, and then travel to Chiang Mai in the North. Tuesday, March 27th Bangkok is wonderful and surprising! The places are interesting. We visited the famous market which was on the water, and saw a lot of fruit and vegetables. Everything is so colorful, and we took lots of photos there! Later today we will leave for Chiang Mai. We will take the train there and stay there for two days, and then catch a bus to Chiang Rai. Friday, March 30th Our bus ride to Chiang Rai was long and boring. We visited a small village in the mountains. The people here love the quiet life — no computers or phones. They are the kindest people I have ever met. They always smile and say “hello”. Kathy and I can only speak a few words in Thai, so smiling is the best way to show our kindness. I feel good here, but we must go home. I hope to be able to come back next year. 1.

C Some parents think their children should play a lot in their childhood (童年), so they seldom let them do housework. While some parents think children should learn useful things, they teach their children to do chores by themselves early. A study shows that learning to do chores at an early age is good for children’s growth. Here are some benefits (益处) that helping out with chores brings to children. Doing chores teaches children life skills. Children are young now, so parents do many things for them. But they will need to do many hard things by themselves one day. They should learn some life skills as early as possible. Doing chores like cooking and watering plants can help them become independent (独立的) and teach them how to solve problems. Doing chores also helps children learn to respect others’ work. If they are asked to clean the house, they might know better about the mess they make. They will respect others’ work more and keep the home clean and tidy. Doing chores helps children manage time well. There are a lot of things to do every day, and it’s hard to fit them all in. They may have some problems when doing them. By doing housework, they can calm down and think clearly. This helps them know what the important thing is and how to manage their time well. 8. How does the writer start the text? A. By asking a question. B. By giving an example. C. By telling a story. D. By drawing a comparison. 9. What does the underlined phrase probably mean in Paragraph 4? A. Do them in order. B. Find time to do them all. C. Put them in the right place. D. Make everyone like them. 10. Which is the right structure (结构) of the text? (P₁=Paragraph 1, …) A. B. C. D. 11. What’s the writer’s purpose (目的) of writing the text? A. To teach children to do chores. B. To encourage parents to respect kids’ efforts. C. To teach parents to make plans. D. To encourage kids to do chores. D The ocean is full of amazing living things. It’s also full of plastic. That’s bad news for deep-diving (深潜) whales, as they can mistake the plastic for food and eat it. Why do whales mistake plastic for prey? A team at the Duke University Marine (海洋) Lab in the US has been looking into this question. Recently, the team has provided an answer. It all comes down to echolocation (回声定位): a natural process that allows whales to hear objects in the darkest depths of the sea. Some types of whales hunt in the deepest parts of the ocean, where there’s little light. It’s too dark for them to see, but they can hear. First, the whales make a sound and then they listen. They hear echoes bouncing off (反射) nearby objects. These echoes allow the whales to hunt. The echoes bounce off prey like squid (鱿鱼), and they also bounce off objects that are not food like waste. The scientists found that waste and prey cause similar echoes to the whales. They sound so similar that they can cause the whales to eat waste. “However, eating waste is dangerous for whales. The plastic can build up in their stomachs, preventing food from passing through their bodies. This can be deadly. Plastic pollution influences animals that are so far away from our daily lives,” says Greg Merrill, the lead author of the study. This problem is really big. People need to make real changes in their daily lives and then find the types of solutions we need to solve this problem. 12. Why do some whales use echolocation when hunting? A. They hunt in dark deep-sea areas where they can’t see clearly. B. They are afraid of other big sea animals in the ocean. C. They need to make loud sounds to scare their prey. D. They want to find other whales to hunt together. 13. What did the team from Duke University find? A. Whales like to eat plastic because it tastes like their prey. B. Echolocation can help whales avoid all dangerous objects. C. Plastic and whales’ prey produce similar echoes. D. Deep-sea plastic is more dangerous than shallow-sea plastic. 14. What is the main idea of the passage? A. How whales use echolocation to find food in the deep ocean. B. Why whales eat plastic and the danger it brings to them. C. What people can do to reduce plastic pollution in the ocean. D. How scientists study the living habits of deep-diving whales. 15. What can we infer from the passage? A. Whales need better eyesight. B. Only deep whales face plastic danger. C. People’s daily lives help solve plastic pollution. D. Scientists have a way to help whales. 第二部分 语言运用（共三节，满分35分） 第一节 完形填空（共15小题，每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。 Li Ming is my best friend, but he wasn’t always as outgoing as he is today.

Choosing Friends Before you make friends, you have to decide who you want to be your friends. Most people like to have friends with the same interests. But that doesn’t mean you have to be like each other. It’s OK if you enjoy some of the same things. Making Friends •The quickest way to make friends is to smile. Remember that most people hate an angry face. One easy way to start a conversation with someone is to say something nice. For example, you could talk about a great answer to a teacher’s question and so on. •Ask your new friends questions about themselves. “Who’s your favourite singer? Where do you live? What do you do after school?” are all good questions. Having Activities Together It’s always fun to play your favourite activities with your friends together. For example, inviting a friend to your house is a great way to make your friendship closer. Make sure the activities can be done together. You may both love playing computer games, but if one person is playing and the other has nothing to do but watch, that will be boring. Friendship is an important part in our life, for friends make us happy and support us through hard times. If you are still waiting for your “friends”, start with the tips above. 61.
