My name is Ryan and last summer my family and I went to an island for our summer vacation. There were so many fun and interesting things to do on the island, but my favorite was fishing.

Flamenco is very popular in southern Spain. It begins with guitar music and clapping（击掌）and then dancers join the performance. Sometimes a woman dances alone and sometimes she dances with a man. The woman always wears a long, colorful dress. She moves her arms and hands slowly but her feet move in fast difficult steps. The man often wears black. Both dancers click their shoes on the floor when they dance around each other.
Cossack dances are from Russia and Ukraine. They are very energetic — some are more like gymnastics than dancing! Dancers have to be very fit because they jump very high and kick their legs up and down. They often jump over swords（剑）, The movements are similar to traditional Cossack activities, for example, sword fighting and getting on and off horses.
Limbo dancing is first from West Africa but today it is an important part of celebrations in the Caribbean. Young people have to dance under a pole（杆）. The pole is often on fire and the dancer mustn't touch it! After a successful "limbo", they put the pole lower and do it again. Some dancers can dance under a pole just twenty centimeters off the ground!
Mask（面具）dances are important for the Dogon people in Mali. Each village makes different masks. They are often huge and colorful. There are masks of people, monsters or local animals like crocodiles and monkeys. Mask dancers are always men and they dance to the sound of drums for hours after the death of a person in the village. Today, Dogon villagers also perform the dances for tourists.

When do children start to talk If you askagroup of parents when this happened, most will say"around twelve months of age". They will probably even remember what the children said. Many parents keep a diary of their child's"first words"
We can never predict what a first word is going to be. Often it's the name for"mummy"or"daddy", but it could just as easily be the word for an animal or a favorite toy. Everything depends on what has most caught the child's attention. But one thing is certain: after the first word, others come quickly. By 18 months, most children have learned about 50 words. By two, the total has risen to around 200.
Early words are actually one-word sentences. One of the first features（特征）of language a child learns well is to control the rise and fall of the voice to make the difference between stating and questioning. In English, daddy with a high rising tone（声调）means "is that daddy "Daddy with a high falling tone means"There's daddy". Of course, only very basic meanings can be communicated using tones alone. So it soon becomes necessary to learn some grammar.
In English, grammar means learning to put words in different orders. Children have to see that mummy push is different from push mummy. They start practising such changes at around 18 months. By two, they have learned the basic patterns of word order, and we hear them saying such things as mankickball and where daddy go.
What are the parents doingall his time They're acting as teachers and they always have an active role to play in their child's language learning.
27. How old are most children when they have learned about 50 words
A. About 6 months old. B. About one year old.
C. About 18 months old. D. About two years]old.
28. Which might an English child say first when learning to talk

RED BANK
, New Jersey(January 31, 2020). These days, women go to space. They sail
（航行）
around the world
．
They have all kinds of adventures
（冒险）．
This wasn't true hundreds of years ago. Back then, women were expected to stay home. But that didn't stop these three women from
taking off and doing big things.
Jeanne Baret
(1740—1807): Baret was a French scientist. She studied
plants. And she was the first woman to sail around the world. In
1766, Baret wanted to set sail with a group of scientists. But they
were all men. Women weren't allowed to travel on French navy
ships. So Baret dressed up like a man. And she sailed away.
Lady Hester Stanhope
(1776—1839): Stanhope was from England.
She wanted to travel. She traveled throughout the Middle East by
herself. And she led an archeological dig there. She was the first woman
to do this.
Nellie Bly
(1864-1922):Bly was a reporter. In 1887, she wrote a story about hidden problems at a hospital. She dressed up like a patient at the hospital. Then she wrote an alarming six-part report. The story made Bly well-known. It also led the way for other women reporters. Two years later, Bly set a world record. She traveled around the world in seventy-two days!

The first emperor of China, Qin Shihuang, completed a huge number of projects during his rule. Between 221 and 210 B. C., he started the building of the Great Wall. The emperor also ordered the building of a huge army of life-sized terracotta soldiers（士兵）. These, he hoped, would protect his tomb after his death.
Lost in Time
The soldiers in Xi'an's terracotta museum are today light brown, but they weren't always. They began as an army of red, blue, yellow, green, white, and purple. Sadly, most of the colors did not last to the present day. After being exposed（暴露）to air during digging, the coating under the paint began to fall off. The paint disappeared in less time than it takes to boil an egg, taking away with it important pieces of history.
New Technology
Now new technology is starting to show the army's true colors. Archeologists（考古学家）have recently discovered an area with more than a hundred soldiers. Many of these still have their painted features, including black hair, pink faces, and black or brown eyes. Chinese and German researchers have developed a chemical liquid（液体）to help save the soldiers' colors. After finding a soldier or another art piece, archeologists put the liquid on it. They then cover it in plastic.
Back to Life
Archeologists are also finding colors in the dirt around the soldiers. It's important not to do anything with the dirt, so the colors won't be lost. "We are treating the dirt as an art piece, "says Rong Bo, the museum's leading archeologist. The next challenge, says Rong Bo, is to find a way to use the colors onto the army-again. Once that happens, artists can bring Emperor Qin's army back to its full, bright colors.
34. What is the passage mainly about
A. The death of Emperor Qin Shihuang.
B. How the terracotta army was colored.
C. The true colors of the terracotta soldiers.
D. How the soldiers lived during Qin Dynasty.
35. What does the underlined word "they"in the passage refer to
A. Archeologists. B. Artists. C. Researchers. D. Soldier.
36. Which statement would Rong Bo probably agree
A. The soldiers should stay in their present, brown color.
B. People should try to bring back the army's bright colors.
C. Archeologists can only guess at the soldiers'true colors.
D. Artists should be able to paint the soldiers in colors they want.
C
Why is it that the people you meet when backpacking（背包旅行）seem to be more interesting and outgoing than your friends at home That's my experience, anyway. Very often, you'll meet people that are fun to travel with and worth getting to know. I've spent time with people of many countries and have found out some interesting things about their cultures. It's a great way to learn more about the world.
It's often easy to make new friends while you're traveling, and you'll be able to hang around with them for a few days, until one of you leaves for the next exciting place. Relationships of this kind are shorter but can be just as strong as friendships back home, because you do so much together in that short time. I often find I like to share things about myself that I'd never say to my close friends. It is safe, I think, because we probably won't meet again, except online.
One thing that's important when you're backpacking is to make sure you carry only basic needs, so your backpack isn't too heavy. I travel""light"these days. One good tip someone gave me is to take old clothes and just throw them away when you move on, instead of washing and waiting for things to dry. Many hostels（小旅社）don't provide shampoo and shower gel. You can get mini bottles in supermarkets.
I've discovered that many backpackers visit little places other tourists don't go to, and by using local shops and guest houses, they help those places with much-needed financial（经济上的）support. Most small guest houses allow you to stay for unlimited time, so you can spend as long as you like exploring the local area. Backpackers are also kinder to the environment, because they use trains and buses rather than cars. So, what are you waiting for (By Andy Robinson)
37. According to Andy, friendships made with other backpackers __▲__
A. are less serious than those with his friends at home
B. end at the moment they separate from each other
C. help him to decide where he would like to travel to
D. allow him to talk about himself in an honest way
38. Which text message would Andy send to a friend "
A "Why don't you fly out to visit me We'll stay in a famous hotel on the coast. " B "I'm leavinghere tomorrow and then I will drive a car along the coast. "
C "I've met some great people. Tomorrow we're going by boat to an ancient village in the mountains together. " D "I'm glad Ifilled up my backpack –I’ve got everything I need, though it isn't easy to carry it around!"
39. The best title for the passage can be __▲__.
A. Friendships on the Way B. Traveling with a Backpack
C. A Backpacking Experience D. Tips on Travel

Masa walked slowly towards the house, stopping now and then to cut off dead leaves or fading flowers. There were few weeds（杂草）. Yuki had spent many hours of her two-week visit weeding in the garden. Masa wondered if Yuki had spent so much of her time outside because she wanted to avoid talking to her.
But Yuki must have wanted very much to see us, Masa told herself. She had visited in the last weeks of June, as soon as her college was out for the summer.
She said she wanted to stay longer but couldn't because she had to work. Besides, she needed to use the studio at her college for photography and she had to go to the library to read,
"Why do you have to go to college to study art "Masa asked her. "All the great artists didn't go to college. "
Yuki shook her head. "That was a different time. It's hard to explain. "

"What is the use of going to college if you don'tknow what you're going there for ""Maybe I'm going becauseIdon't know. Ijust want to study art now. I don't want to think that far ahead. "
The minute Masa was going to point out that this was too careless a way to live, Yuki suddenly stood up and put on her straw hat.
"I'm going to the garden to weed your flowerbed", she said, "Let me knowif there's something else I can do ""
On Yuki's visit, Masa felt strained when they talked, and she was sure Yuki also felt it. But Yuki was never rude or irritable（易怒的）. Even when they disagreed, her face was always full of patience.

The natural world is colorful with humans, plants and animals showing different colors.
Human skin can be many different colors and it changes.with the sun, our feelings or ourhealth for example. This is because of pigments(色素), which reflect light and make what the eyesecs as colors. So. when we fecl cexcited or angry, our heart can send more blood to thc face and thcpigments in the skin become red. This is why we have the expression that someone. “sees red”when they are angry.
Plants also have pigments.Color is important for them to live on. The bright colors of flowerscatch the attention of insects(昆虫), which then carry their pollen(花粉) from one flower to another.Bees can see colors we cannot,and they follow these to the inside of the flower. Without bees visiting flowers in this way, many plants would die out.
Animals also use color for their own need. They protect themselves with different colors so asnot to be scen by predators. The snowshoe hare for example, a type of wild rabbit,changes colorwith seasons for this reason. During summer it is a brown color, and in winter it is white so that itcan hide in the snow.However, some animals use color as a warning to make predators stay away.Bright colors such as yellow and red are often used in this way. Nature, however, is very clever, andpredators also use colors to attract(吸引) the animals they feed on..
So, we can see that there may be many different reasons and uscs for colors in the naturalworld.Some uses of color in nature remain unknown.; but one thing is for surc, color not onlymakes our planet beautiful but it is also necessary for our planet to live on.

For as long as we can remember,one of the most popular ways parents use to punish their children has been the"time out".
It seems that it is a good idea: the child sits on hisown to reflect（反思）on what he has done. Then,when the time is up,he will apologize and learn from the mistake.
However, just because it's something that's been done for years, that doesn't mean it is the right thing to do. In fact, very often, children don't sitnicely and think about what they've done. Instead, they need to be told a few(or many)times to go back to their places and stay quiet. They're not reflecting on why they are in the"time out"at all. More likely than not, they're probablyjust really angry, and'so'are the parents. In theend, both the parents and the children make each other unhappy, or even angry.
What can parents do to change this situation You may have already heard of thingslike peaceful parenting（育儿）and gentle parenting. These focus on the relationship between parent and child through building trust andlove. So, instead of starting a"time out", try something called "time in". A"time in"needs both parent and child to stay close until both get calm. After that, the parent, and child can discuss what happened and solve the problem together. If the child can make changes, everyone can then move on.
As we all know, punishment and violence（暴力）seldom work and will never teach the. children what the right way toact is. A"time in"can be the great time for the children to learn through mistakes, Kids learn how to build their emotional and social skills through difficult situations. So, instead of punishing them for acting their age, we can use chances to teach and guide them to a place of learning.
A"time in"may take more time, but it does work.
34. During a "time out", a child is told to ____________________.
A. stay outside B. make a promise C. sit alone and reflect D. return to school
35. In the writer's opinion, a"time out" ___________________.
A. is becoming more popular B. doesn't always work
C. should be parents'first choice D. takes too much time
36. When a child has done something wrong,the writer suggests that ______________.
A. both teachers and parents discuss how to solve the problem
B. parents try something called"time in"instead of"time out"
C. the child say sorry to his or her parents and learn from mistakes
D. the child stay at home and reflect until he never makes mistakes
37. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage
A. Why not "time in" B. Learn from mistakes
C. "Time out" or"time in" D. No violence at home!

Some of these drugs are even used to fight and cure cancer.
There are four different levels of trees in a rainforest. The forest floor is the lowest layer full of animal life and receives the least amount of light. Theunderstorey is the dark, cool environment under the leaves but over the ground. The canopy layer is the upper parts of most of the trees.

Jason and his father were going to the grocery store by car to pick up some apples. It had been an unusual day. The sky was dark but there were few clouds. As they drove up the street, there started to be a rumbling （隆隆的） sound heard across the ground.
Jason's father immediately realized that a tornado （龙卷风） was coming. He stopped the car and told Jason to get out immediately.

Have you ever bought something and then changed your mind For Alison Jenson, 15, this used to happen several times a week. Alison was a shopaholic. She just couldn't stop shopping and she loved specialoffers.
Alison's bedroom is full of stuff. "I've been to every shop in Birmingham, I think, "says Alison. She picks up some earrings. The labels are still on them. "These were half price, "she says. "I've never won them. "Alison's problem wasn'tjust jewellery. She also bought a lot of clothes, though not many shoes, because they were usually too expensive. She has also bought lots of other small things — like 20 new covers for her phone. She hasn't used any of them.
According to experts, we all feel excited after we buy something new. For shopaholics, it's a little different. Soon after they buy something, they think they'vemade a mistake and start to feel unhappy. So they buy themselves something else to feel happier.
Psychologists （心理学家）first described the problems of shopaholics in 1915. However, there was very little research on the subject until recently. Now, doctors think thousands of people suffer from the problem, and the situation is getting worse. There are also more teenage shopaholics now, although most young people don't have enough money to go shopping very regularly.
Alison knew she had a problem. "I often bought something every day. Usually it was something small, butIjust needed to buy it, "she says.

I'm in trouble. Last week, we had a football match, and welost. We played well, but one teammate didn't do his best, Ithink. It was like he wasn'teven on the court! Disappointed by his behaviour, I said all this to my best friend. But he told everyone else what I'd said. I'm really angry with my friend— what shouldIsay to him And should Isay anything at all to my teammate
Reply There is an old American saying, "Loose lips sink ships. "This means that if you speak too much about something, especially to people who you don't know so well, it'll cause all kinds of trouble. Maybe now you're in this situation. Forget all these unhappy things. Like 13
Reply Perhaps most importantly, think about your own behaviour. When filled with anger, you would say whatever comes to your mind. You might hurt others. Take a deep breath, calm down, and always remember: think first, speak later. Like 11
Reply In my view（观点）, you should do what your parents ask. They're much older than you and you should respect them. It's their house you live in and their money you spend! Like 10
Reply Here's what you need to do. First, apologise to your teammate. Have a chat with him, and tell him directly and honestly that you were talking without thinking. Then tell your friend you're angry with him for repeating what you said and making the situation worse, but you hope your friendship will move on. Like 10

Do video games do harm to our children Today, many children spend a lot of their free time playing games on the Internet. In the UK, 99%of kids aged8 to 15 play video games every week. This information tells us that the benefits and dangers of video games must be carefully considered.
For many people, video games are fun. They have bright lights, funny cartoons and exciting stories. Everywhere you look, you can see children playing these games. They play on buses and trains, in restaurants and even at school.
Video games are educational too. They make kids think in acreative way and they have to move their hands and eyes quickly. This can improve the way thatachild's brain works. What's more, video games make children use their imagination. The player has to do many creative things, like drawing, telling stories and building things. Video games are also a good way toteach children about technology because they can learn how computers and other devices work while they play.
However, a recent study suggests that video games can also be bad for children. First, children can download many games for free. This means that parents often don't know if their children are playing violent or scary games. Second, many children spend too much time playing games on computers and this can lead to health problems. Third, if children spend too much time playing games instead of doing homework, they can have problems at school and get bad grades. Finally, video gamescan affect children's social skills. If children spend too much time playing video games by themselves, they might not learn how to play with their friends.
In conclusion, it seems clear that video games have some advantages and some disadvantages. It is up to parents to know what games their children are playing and how much time they spend on them. Parents should also make sure their children get enough exercise and spend time with other children.

Did you have cercal（麦片）for breakfast this morning I you did, you're not alone. Lots of people eat cercal for breakfast every day. In fact, cereal is popular all over the world. I all started with one man, Will Keith Kellogg.
Will was born on April 7, 1860, in Battle Creek, Michigan. His first job was asa stock boy at the Battle Creek Sanitarium. A sanitariumisa special kind of place that isa littlelike a hospital. A sanitarium is meant for people whoare ill for a long time or whoare getting over a serious illness. Will had other jobs as he got older. But when he grew up, he became a manager of the sanitarium. His brother, John, was the chief doctor there.
One big problem at the sanitarium was the patients'diets. The patients needed healthy diets, but it was also important for the food to taste good. Will was trying to find a good food choice to take the place of the bread, but it wasn'tgoing very well. Then, by accident Will found something even better. He left some wheat to cook too long. When it was rolled out, it formed large, thin flakes. He asked his brother to serve it to the patients, and they loved it! In fact, they liked it so much that they wanted breakfast flakes sent to them even after they left the sanitarium. So Will started a new business in 1884: selling packaged breakfast flakes. Before long, Kellogg’s breakfast cereal was popular in other countries, too. Today, there are many kinds of breakfast cereals. But it all started with one man and one idea.
Will did more than just create breakfast flakes. His company made a lot of money. But he always shared it with others generously. He used much of his money to help children. He also used his money to help in several other charities（慈善机构）. Will Kdllogg died in 1951. But his most famous invention is as popular as ever.

There are about 1.5 million kinds of living things on Earth, but how many do you see every day You often see the big colourful animals, like birds, rabbits, and fish. But look more closely. Can you see the small ones, too Insects（昆虫）make up 80 percent of all the world's living kinds. Look on the ground. Imagine you could look under the ground, too. Many small living things with one cell live there. Life is everywhere around us, in every cubic foot (a foot= 12 inches).
David Littschwager is a photographer who wanted to find out how many living things lived in one cubic foot. So he madea12-inch cube with a green metal frame. And then he put it in five habitats（栖息地）. He chose a tropical rainforest（Costa Rica）, a coral reef（Pacific Ocean), the Table Mountain(South Africa), a freshwater river(USA), and a small park(New York). Three weeks were spent at each place. He watched, counted, and took photos of everything down to I millimeter in size—that crawled（爬）or flew into the cube.
The results were amazing. Liittschwager found both common and rare living things. He discovered many new living kinds, likea strange transparent octopus that is the size of a fingernail!In total, more than a thousand living things were photographed. Liittchwager said the One Cubic Foot experience was like "finding treasure". David Liittschwager also found that the highest biodiversity（生物多样性）in the reef was in the skeleton coral（珊瑚遗骨）. These skeleton coral are suitable for sea living things of all sizes to grow. Although the coral reef had the widest range of biodiversity, all the other habitats were full of life. Even the city park!

13．（8分）Lima，the capital of Peru，is located in the central coastal part of the country，overlooking the Pacific Ocean.With a population of more than 9 million，Lima is one of the largest cities and the only capital in South America that faces the ocean.
Lima has a long history.The lost Inca civilization ，is thought to be a mystery.There are many museums，where you can learn：how the ancient American Indians founded the Inca Empire and built Machu Picchu，a famous ancient city in the Andes Mountains；what happened in 1532 and why over 90% of Peruvians speak Spanish.Visiting the historic center，a World Heritage Site you may find you are communicating with both the past and the present.
Lima is also a place where you can find the lifestyles and fashions，created by its people and culture.You will see Peruvian clothes，dances，and taste their delicious foods and drinks.You can see buildings in different styles，enjoy the fantastic sunset over the ancient ruins，climb the mountains，fly over the ocean，or sit in the restaurants and bars to experience Peruvians' relaxing life.
You may have heard "It never rains in Lima. " In fact，the special geographic feature makes it not as dry as it is said to be and it is warm all year round.Though it seldom rains in summer，it sometimes drizzles on early winter mornings.The drizzle and the wet air "water" the ground，which makes the crops and the plants grow.Moreover，modern technology helps to bring water from the snow and ice on the top of the Andes （over 6，000 m high）for the city to use.People there never waste water.
