One Sunday evening, it was quite dark when old Stanley went for his walk. He was walking along the sidewalk.Suddenly, he saw a white car coming the corner at high speed.

The two drivers were arguing.
“You came around the corner too fast，” one man said.
“No！” said the driver of the white car, “That's not true! Your car was parked in a wrong place.”

Next Thursday morning. Stanley was asked to go to the court. The lawyer(律师) for the driver of the white car asked him a lot of questions about what he had seen. Then he asked Stanley how old he was.
“I'm eighty-two，” answered Stanley.
“Do you usually wear glasses？” asked the lawyer.
“Yes, I do，” answered Stanley.
“Were you wearing them on the night of the accident？” the lawyer asked.
“No，” replied Stanley.
Then the lawyer said, “Why should the court believe you You are eighty-two years old, you were not wearing your glasses, and it was dark. How far can you see in the dark？”

Shark nets in place across Australia, specifically in New South Wales (NSW) and Queensland, to protect beachgoers should be dropped as they have caused more harm than good, a study has found.
The measures were carried out by some governments, including nets and traditional drum lines, and provided beachgoers with a false sense of safety. The study found the effectiveness of nets was difficult to evaluate, while the significant damage they cause to other marine wildlife was clear. Researchers desire for nondeadly shark control measures such as eco-barriers, which physically separate swimmers from sharks, sonar(声呐) technology, and various shark-spotting techniques.
Researchers said while the risk of coming across a shark was rare, any shark-related deaths and injuries caught huge public and media attention.
One of the arguments in support of using shark nets is that just one shark-related death has been reported in Queensland since the 1960s. Similarly, since the 1930s, NSW has had only one shark-related death. But there have been at least 13 people killed by sharks at beaches without nets on the NSW north coast over the past two years.
The Humane Society International's head of campaigns, Nicola Beynon, said the government needed to move away from outdated methods.“Deadly shark nets and drum lines are more than 50 years behind scientific and animal welfare standards for dealing with marine wildlife，” said Beynon.
The NSW Greens' marine spokesman, Justin Field, said, “People are 100 times more likely to drown at the beach than to be killed by a shark in Australia. Therefore, millions of dollars going into the shark net program should be directed to observation towers for our lifeguards and improving the beach devices.”
( )17.Which of the following do researchers focus on
A．Beachgoers' safety. B．The shark-related death rate.
C．Friendly shark control ways. D．Advanced shark-spotting techniques.
( )18.What is Paragraph 4 mainly about
A．Shark-related deaths. B．Measures to protect sharks.
C．Reasons of using shark nets. D．Dangers for beachgoers.
( )19.What do Nicola Beynon and Justin Field have in common
A．Science is developing too fast. B．Observation towers need rebuilding.
C．Many people are drowned every year. D．No shark nets are to be used.
( )20.What can be the best title for the text
A．Are Sharks Nets Necessary B．A New Study on Sea Animals
C．Shark Net Programs D．Effective Ways of Avoiding Sharks

【语篇解读】本文属于记叙文。文章讲述了作者在英国留学一年，期间英语有了很大的提升，同时也结交了很多朋友。
36．have been 考查时态。句意：我在英国已经有11个月了。根据前文 “I came to England last summer”以及后文可知 “I am going to finish my studies in England soon”可知，作者从去年夏天到现在都在英国，故用现在完成时表示过去动作一直持续到现在。故答案为have been。
37．for 考查介词。句意：我很快就要完成在英国的学习，下月要回中国了。此处为短语leave for, 意为“启程去某地”。故答案为for。
38．to communicate 考查不定式。句意：起初我用英语很难与别人沟通。本句为结构it is ＋adj.＋for sb.＋to do sth.；it作形式主语，不定式短语作真正的主语。故答案为to communicate。
39．but 考查连词。句意：但是现在我英语变好了，甚至可以看懂英语电视节目。根据分析前后句可知，作者对最初的情况和现在的情况进行了对比，因此用转折连词。故答案为but。
40．better 考查副词比较级。句意：但是现在我可以更好地说英语，甚至理解英语电视，因为我努力学习，我的老师和同学帮助了我很多。根据分析前后句可知，作者对最初的情况和现在的情况进行了比较，现在英语有了进步，因此用比较级。故答案为better。
41．friends 考查名词复数。句意：我在这里认识了很多新朋友。lots of修饰名词复数。故答案为friends。
42．them 考查代词。句意：一些朋友甚至邀请我去他们家做客，在那里我了解了很多习俗。of为介词，后接代词宾格。故答案为them。
43．where 考查关系副词。句意：一些朋友甚至邀请我去他们家做客，在那里我了解了很多习俗。通过分析句子可知，“I have learned a lot about their custom”作定语从句修饰先行词houses，从句中基本成分完整，结合先行词houses(表地点)，需用关系副词where在从句中作地点状语。故答案为where。
44．interested 考查形容词。句意：他们对中国的东西很感兴趣。此处为描述人的感受，应使用-ed形容词。故答案为interested。
45．really 考查词形转化。句意：每次他们问我很多问题时，我才真正意识到我对自己的国家知之甚少。通过分析句子，修饰know需用副词really。

One possible version：
Dear_Tim，
I'm_glad_to_receive_your_letter. It's a pleasure for me to tell you something about the coming summer vacation.
This vacation will start on July 20th, lasting about 40 days. Various activities are waiting for the students. First of all, we will take up some exercise, such as running and playing basketball, to keep us physically strong. Of course, we'll do some reading and see some well-known English films for fun. As senior students，we have to prepare ourselves for the college entrance examinations. Therefore, we must find time to study. If possible, we'll take part in some social activities so that we can know more about the society.
As for me, I'll spend some time staying with my parents, chatting with them and doing some housework because they've done so much for me.
What about yours
Best_regards，
Li_Hua
