About the Irish Experience
The Irish Experience is a program for North American high school students. This program takes place over a four-week period in July. For two weeks the students will live in the beautiful university town of Cork in the South of Ireland. They will attend classes in an informal and relaxed atmosphere.
Traditional Irish music is alive in Cork City and can be heard most nights in some of the pubs in the city centre. There are several theatres in the city. A visit to one of these will be part of our schedule. Cork is also the gateway to the beautiful southwest part of Ireland and we will be taking in all the sights of West Cork and Kerry.
The other two weeks will be spent at University College Dublin, a short bus ride from the centre of Dublin, one of the oldest capital cities in Europe with one of the youngest populations — almost 50% of the city ’s people are under 25 years old. Staying at student apartments on the university campus, students will have the opportunity to meet young people of many different nationalities.
The students will enjoy a true Celtic cultural experience and a sense of Irish history and culture through guided tours to various historical sites in Dublin—The Cliffs of Moher in County Clare and the Neolithic passage tombs in Newgrange, County Meath.

The Cool Taxi is a Hackney Carriage that was changed into a freezer on wheels, using dry ice to keep the inside cool for passengers. It has a number of features designed to keep riders cool, including a freezer filled with ice-lollies (冰棍)and a state-of-the-art air conditioning system.
A spokesperson for Andrews Air Conditioning said, “Britain has become a hot country, and the British are feeling the heat. For commuters(通勤者)there is nothing worse on a hot day than getting into a hot taxi, so we wanted to help to avoid this experience with Cool Taxi.
Cool Taxi driver Tony, who has driven a taxi for 11 years, said, “I have done 10 London summers in the taxi and I know you need some good air conditioning. It would be impossible to work without it. You need to keep cool and stay hydrated (含水的), and sometimes in a typical taxi this is difficult to keep. ”
Elizabeth Ann Iliffe, who was paying a visit to London from the South East, said, “It is amazing. It feels just like a scene(场景)from Frozen. It ’s nice to step in just for a few minutes to have a break from the heat and cool off. ”
The Cool Taxi is running for a limited(有限的)time at present time. However, it has proved popular with passengers and could be considered for full-time operation across the summer months in the future.
24. What can we learn from what Tony said
A. He finds it hard to keep the taxi well air-conditioned.
B. He thinks it impossible to provide good air conditioning.
C. He is used to driving taxis in hot summer for a long time.

It was dinner time for the Rangers, a group of Indigenous(本地的)Australians who had spent a long day cleaning up the polluted beaches of the continent ’s northern coast. Soon they would be eating freshly caught fish and seafood cooked under the stars on an open fire, as their ancestors did.
The Rangers are of more than 100 indigenous groups spreading across Australia who have taken on the job of protecting the land of their forefathers. In Arnhem Land, they are the protectors of 3, 300 square miles of land and sea. They comb the beaches by hand, picking up as much rubbish as possible. The task is very difficult as each day it delivers waves of new rubbish.
For the Rangers, cleaning the beaches is more than a vacation. For a people whose culture is strongly tied to the land, protecting the environment is equal to preserving their history.
However, colonization forcefully broke their connection to the land generations ago. Indigenous people were displaced and their cultural practices were outlawed. Tens of thousands of years of traditional land management ended, and as a result many parts of the country now face serious disasters from invasive plants and animal species, bush fires and land mismanagement.
In recent years, the government has restored more than 20 percent of Australia ’s land to Indigenous owners. Since 2007, the Indigenous Rangers Organizations have been protecting this land.
Luckily, one of the few non-Indigenous employees working with the Rangers, said the combination, new techniques and an appreciation for the culture of Indigenous workers have been critical to the program ’s success.
“You are working with staff who see the world different to you, so there is a much higher focus on the cultural aspects of work and life, ”he said.
“Being a ranger is a source of confidence. You feel strong, ”said Terence, a senior ranger. “Here we still live on the land. The culture is still alive. ”
28. What did Indigenous Australians live on in the past
A. Rubbish picked up by hand.
B. Protecting the land.
C. Catching the fish and seafood.
D. Invasive plants and animals.
29. What do the Rangers think of cleaning the beaches
A. It ’s a job of their ancestors ’.
B. It ’s just a vacation.
C. It ’s a difficult task.
D. It ’s their culture.
30. Why has the government restored the land to Indigenous owners
A. The polluted land needs better management.
B. Their cultural practices were outlawed.
C. The people were too strong.
D. The land belongs to them.
31. What can we learn from the last three paragraphs
A. Not many employees are Indigenous Australians.
B. Culture is important to the Indigenous Australians.
C. Their new techniques are successful.
D. Both Luck and Terence are rangers.

Two pig farmers in Suffolk, East England have succeeded in feeding one million bees after participating in a project that saw them turn over half of their land to wild flowers. Four years ago, brothers Mark and Paul Hayward decided to fill 81 acres of their farm land with wild flowers. This week, a study was carried out monitoring insect activity on the flower-covered land, which found they were feeding one million bees at any time.
“This was our target when we started, to grow enough flowers to feed a million bees on a single day, ” Mark said. “We are acutely aware that bees are under threat from modern farming methods and that East England is one of the worst places where bees are seriously suffering from lack of foraging diversity(觅食多样性), ” he continued.
“Every third bite of food you eat can come from bees and we wanted to create an operation on our farm that did not push nature out but rather hugged it—as a central part of our ecology system and our food cycle, ” he said.
The farm uses all kinds of seeds which can produce many different wild plants and of course, the bees can get food from different wildflowers.
“We are taking a very small role in helping society restore a balance and this starts with plant diversity to encourage insects, bees, small mammals(哺乳动物), and birds, ” said Paul. “At the end of the day, we see ourselves as caretakers of this land. Between us we have six children and we owe it to them to maintain farm sustainability(持续性)and set an example to the generations to come, ” added Paul.
According to the Bee Conservation Trust, many types of bees have seen their populations decline by 70%, and two species have become extinct in the last century.
Gill Perkins, CEO of the Bee Conservation Trust said, “Thanks to Mark and Paul, at least here, 1 million bees can keep living, which is of great significance for ourselves now and in the future. ”
32. What can we know about the brothers from the first two paragraphs
A. They have about 160 acres of land.
B. They grow wild flowers for pigs.
C. They are not good at growing wild flowers.
D. They have to support 1, 000, 000 bees in their land.
33. Why are bees under threat in East England
A. There is not enough food for bees.
B. Bees are not used to the modern society.
C. There are too many animals eating bees.
D. Bees can not find different wild flowers.
34. What is Gill Perkins ’ attitude to the action
A. Opposed. B. Doubtful.
C. Supportive. D. Disappointed.
35. What is the best title for the text
A. The Bees are in Danger Now
B. Two Brothers Feed a Million Bees
C. One Million Bees are Surviving in East England
D. Two Brothers Love Wild Flowers in East England

We first saw the lost dog on a beach on Mahé, an island in the Seychelles, Africa. My kids, then six and eight, were building sandcastles, when he got closer and watched them. The next day he appeared on the entrance of our holiday cottage.
My husband Farid and I thought he was looking for food, but soon we realized he just wanted company. He was shy, about three years old, with orange, fox-like fur, big eyes and a long nose. We called him Chell and after five or six days of him hanging about nearby, we became friends.
We posted a message online: was there somewhere that could take him in Finally, we met Olga, a 19-year-old local with five lost dogs and a heart of gold, who agreed to take him in. Chell had only been with us for a week, but when Olga arrived and tried to move him from our cottage to her car, he refused, making himself heavy. Eventually we managed it and watched sadly as they drove off.
“Will we ever see Chell again ” my elder daughter asked, crying. “I guess not, ” I said, not wanting to sugarcoat it. But months later, Olga phoned us to say she was moving abroad to study and ask if we would like to take in Chell ourselves.
Of course, we took Chell home. It was cold, unlike the hot Seychelles, and he was afraid of most things: climbing the stairs, our other dog Kerstin (an ill-tempered female border terrier)—he even seemed afraid of himself. He ’d start to play, then stop suddenly, the rush of happy emotions frightening him. This was perhaps the most heartbreaking of all: a dog who couldn ’t play.
注意: 续写词数应为150左右。
Months later, the weather turned cold and we let Chell into the yard to see his first snow.

At that moment I realized he was going to be OK.

Ⅰ. 概要写作
阅读下面短文, 根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Generally, the two most common places for studying are either at home or in the library. Many people prefer to study at home rather than study in a library that is specifically set aside for people who need to study.
One of the major advantages of studying at home is that some people simply learn better when in a comfortable environment. While sitting at a table in an uncomfortable chair found in a library does work for some students, others may find that being on a couch in their own home is better. Libraries may also have a number of other students in them, all trying to use the same resources at the same time. This can make it difficult to use a computer or other public devices, especially near the end of a school term, and someone ’s computer is easier to use while he or she is studying at home.
Someone studying at home can also start and stop more easily, especially for breaks to get something to eat or drink. At home, a person may be able to simply walk into the next room and get some food. While studying in a library, however, it is likely that someone would have to pack up his or her study materials and leave the building completely to find something to eat.
However, there are some disadvantages of studying at home. Televisions, movies, music video games, roommates, family, and many more sources of distraction can all be present in a home but might not be found in a library. There are also certain resources that can be found from a library but may not be found at a person ’s home. On the contrary, libraries have another purpose besides providing a place for study. Those books are very handy, especially when one is writing term papers. There are hundreds to choose from.

M: Hello, listeners! I ’d like to share with you a bit about what it ’s like to live here at the South Pole. I ’m a scientist and I arrived here in Antarctica three months ago, in December. The temperature at that time was cold but not unpleasant yet. Since arriving, I ’ve worked with about 60 other people getting everything ready for the Antarctica winter. It ’s been a lot of hard work, but it has been fun, too.
However, a few days ago the ship left, taking most of the staff with it, and it won ’t be back to fetch us until next December. So the hardest thing to get used to now is that there are just 14 of us here. It ’s been difficult to adjust because I ’m used to working in a large group.
I ’m living at the same work station I was at ten years ago. It was new then, but it ’s still in good condition and generally unchanged. The dried food we get is also the same. The people working here with me are all different from the year ago, but I ’m always happy getting to know new people. Ten years ago, we were able to send faxes to friends and family once a month, but today we can send e-mails and talk on the phone so we don ’t feel so far away.
Last week we went out exploring for a few days. It was dangerous. We went together everywhere in case we fell into any holes in the ice. Holes here are much too deep to climb out of. The skies last week were beautifully clear, and I was reminded how lucky I am to be here.
18. When did the speaker arrive in Antarctica
A. In December. B. In September.
C. In March.
答案: A
19. What difficulty does the speaker have at the moment
A. There is a lot of hard work to do.
B. The ship won ’t return for months.
C. He is working with a small number of people.
答案: C
20. What has improved in Antarctica in the last ten years
A. Food. B. Communication.
C. Living conditions.

About the Irish Experience
The Irish Experience is a program for North American high school students. This program takes place over a four-week period in July. For two weeks the students will live in the beautiful university town of Cork in the South of Ireland. They will attend classes in an informal and relaxed atmosphere.
Traditional Irish music is alive in Cork City and can be heard most nights in some of the pubs in the city centre. There are several theatres in the city. A visit to one of these will be part of our schedule. Cork is also the gateway to the beautiful southwest part of Ireland and we will be taking in all the sights of West Cork and Kerry.
The other two weeks will be spent at University College Dublin, a short bus ride from the centre of Dublin, one of the oldest capital cities in Europe with one of the youngest populations — almost 50% of the city ’s people are under 25 years old. Staying at student apartments on the university campus, students will have the opportunity to meet young people of many different nationalities.
The students will enjoy a true Celtic cultural experience and a sense of Irish history and culture through guided tours to various historical sites in Dublin—The Cliffs of Moher in County Clare and the Neolithic passage tombs in Newgrange, County Meath.

It was dinner time for the Rangers, a group of Indigenous(本地的)Australians who had spent a long day cleaning up the polluted beaches of the continent ’s northern coast. Soon they would be eating freshly caught fish and seafood cooked under the stars on an open fire, as their ancestors did.
The Rangers are of more than 100 indigenous groups spreading across Australia who have taken on the job of protecting the land of their forefathers. In Arnhem Land, they are the protectors of 3, 300 square miles of land and sea. They comb the beaches by hand, picking up as much rubbish as possible. The task is very difficult as each day it delivers waves of new rubbish.
For the Rangers, cleaning the beaches is more than a vacation. For a people whose culture is strongly tied to the land, protecting the environment is equal to preserving their history.
However, colonization forcefully broke their connection to the land generations ago. Indigenous people were displaced and their cultural practices were outlawed. Tens of thousands of years of traditional land management ended, and as a result many parts of the country now face serious disasters from invasive plants and animal species, bush fires and land mismanagement.
In recent years, the government has restored more than 20 percent of Australia ’s land to Indigenous owners. Since 2007, the Indigenous Rangers Organizations have been protecting this land.
Luckily, one of the few non-Indigenous employees working with the Rangers, said the combination, new techniques and an appreciation for the culture of Indigenous workers have been critical to the program ’s success.
“You are working with staff who see the world different to you, so there is a much higher focus on the cultural aspects of work and life, ”he said.
“Being a ranger is a source of confidence. You feel strong, ”said Terence, a senior ranger. “Here we still live on the land. The culture is still alive. ”
【文章大意】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了澳大利亚土著人Rangers保护环境, 捡拾垃圾, 承担着保护祖先土地的任务。
28. What did Indigenous Australians live on in the past
A. Rubbish picked up by hand.
B. Protecting the land.
C. Catching the fish and seafood.
D. Invasive plants and animals.
【解析】选C。推理判断题。根据文章第一段最后一句可知, 他们像他们的祖先一样, 在星空下吃着篝火煮熟的新鲜的鱼和海鲜。由此可推知澳大利亚土著居民过去过着以捕鱼和打捞海鲜为生的生活。故选C。
29. What do the Rangers think of cleaning the beaches
A. It ’s a job of their ancestors ’.
B. It ’s just a vacation.
C. It ’s a difficult task.
D. It ’s their culture.
【解析】选D。细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句可知, 对于一个文化与土地紧密相连的民族来说, 保护环境就等于保护他们的历史。所以Rangers认为清理海滩就是保护他们的文化。故选D。
30. Why has the government restored the land to Indigenous owners
A. The polluted land needs better management.
B. Their cultural practices were outlawed.
C. The people were too strong.
D. The land belongs to them.
【解析】选A。细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句可知, 成千上万年的传统的土地管理模式结束了, 因此, 这个国家的许多地区现在面临着来自外来动植物物种的入侵、丛林火灾和土地管理不善的严重灾难。所以政府要将土地归还给本地居民是因为被污染的土地需要他们更好的管理。故选A。
31. What can we learn from the last three paragraphs
A. Not many employees are Indigenous Australians.
B. Culture is important to the Indigenous Australians.
C. Their new techniques are successful.
D. Both Luck and Terence are rangers.
【解析】选B。推理判断题。根据文章第六段和第七段以及第八段中的“The culture is still alive. ”可知文化对澳大利亚土著居民很重要。故选B。

Two pig farmers in Suffolk, East England have succeeded in feeding one million bees after participating in a project that saw them turn over half of their land to wild flowers. Four years ago, brothers Mark and Paul Hayward decided to fill 81 acres of their farm land with wild flowers. This week, a study was carried out monitoring insect activity on the flower-covered land, which found they were feeding one million bees at any time.
“This was our target when we started, to grow enough flowers to feed a million bees on a single day, ” Mark said. “We are acutely aware that bees are under threat from modern farming methods and that East England is one of the worst places where bees are seriously suffering from lack of foraging diversity(觅食多样性), ” he continued.
“Every third bite of food you eat can come from bees and we wanted to create an operation on our farm that did not push nature out but rather hugged it—as a central part of our ecology system and our food cycle, ” he said.
The farm uses all kinds of seeds which can produce many different wild plants and of course, the bees can get food from different wildflowers.
“We are taking a very small role in helping society restore a balance and this starts with plant diversity to encourage insects, bees, small mammals(哺乳动物), and birds, ” said Paul. “At the end of the day, we see ourselves as caretakers of this land. Between us we have six children and we owe it to them to maintain farm sustainability(持续性)and set an example to the generations to come, ” added Paul.
According to the Bee Conservation Trust, many types of bees have seen their populations decline by 70%, and two species have become extinct in the last century.
Gill Perkins, CEO of the Bee Conservation Trust said, “Thanks to Mark and Paul, at least here, 1 million bees can keep living, which is of great significance for ourselves now and in the future. ”
【文章大意】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了英国两位农民种植野花, 希望可以帮助蜜蜂生存。
32. What can we know about the brothers from the first two paragraphs
A. They have about 160 acres of land.
B. They grow wild flowers for pigs.
C. They are not good at growing wild flowers.
D. They have to support 1, 000, 000 bees in their land.
【解析】选A。细节理解题。根据文章第一段可知马克和保罗将81英亩的土地用来种植野花, 而这些土地是两兄弟所拥有的超过一半的土地, 81×2=162, 即他们拥有的土地约为160英亩。故选A。
33. Why are bees under threat in East England
A. There is not enough food for bees.
B. Bees are not used to the modern society.
C. There are too many animals eating bees.
D. Bees can not find different wild flowers.
【解析】选D。推理判断题。根据文章第二段后半部分可知, 东英格兰是蜜蜂觅食多样性严重缺乏的最糟糕的地方之一。蜜蜂受到的威胁有两种: 一是现代农业方法, 二是缺乏觅食多样性, 即蜜蜂需要多种不同的花作为食物。由此可知, 蜜蜂找不到不同的野花。故选D。
34. What is Gill Perkins ’ attitude to the action
A. Opposed. B. Doubtful.
C. Supportive. D. Disappointed.
【解析】选C。推理判断题。根据文章最后一段可知, 他说: “感谢马克和保罗, 至少在这里, 100万只蜜蜂可以继续生存, 不管是现在还是未来, 这对我们都很重要。”由此可推知, 他对这样的行为持肯定态度, 表示支持。故选C。
35. What is the best title for the text
A. The Bees are in Danger Now
B. Two Brothers Feed a Million Bees
C. One Million Bees are Surviving in East England
D. Two Brothers Love Wild Flowers in East England
【解析】选B。主旨大意题。本文主要介绍了两位兄弟通过种植野花, 为100万只蜜蜂提供了食物, 从而实现生态平衡的事迹。由此可知, B项: Two Brothers Feed a Million Bees(两兄弟养了一百万只蜜蜂)符合题意。故选B。

We first saw the lost dog on a beach on Mahé, an island in the Seychelles, Africa. My kids, then six and eight, were building sandcastles, when he got closer and watched them. The next day he appeared on the entrance of our holiday cottage.
My husband Farid and I thought he was looking for food, but soon we realized he just wanted company. He was shy, about three years old, with orange, fox-like fur, big eyes and a long nose. We called him Chell and after five or six days of him hanging about nearby, we became friends.
We posted a message online: was there somewhere that could take him in Finally, we met Olga, a 19-year-old local with five lost dogs and a heart of gold, who agreed to take him in. Chell had only been with us for a week, but when Olga arrived and tried to move him from our cottage to her car, he refused, making himself heavy. Eventually we managed it and watched sadly as they drove off.
“Will we ever see Chell again ” my elder daughter asked, crying. “I guess not, ” I said, not wanting to sugarcoat it. But months later, Olga phoned us to say she was moving abroad to study and ask if we would like to take in Chell ourselves.
Of course, we took Chell home. It was cold, unlike the hot Seychelles, and he was afraid of most things: climbing the stairs, our other dog Kerstin (an ill-tempered female border terrier)—he even seemed afraid of himself. He ’d start to play, then stop suddenly, the rush of happy emotions frightening him. This was perhaps the most heartbreaking of all: a dog who couldn ’t play.
注意: 续写词数应为150左右。
Months later, the weather turned cold and we let Chell into the yard to see his first snow.

At that moment I realized he was going to be OK.

Months later, the weather turned cold and we let Chell into the yard to see his first snow. By now he had gained confidence and had almost doubled in size to a healthy weight. Holding our breath, we watched as he lifted his paw carefully, nervous at first. Then, suddenly, Chell began ploughing the snowy lawn with his nose, jumping around happily.
At that moment I realized he was going to be OK. Now Chell is a beloved member of the family, being familiar with the surroundings, aside from his habit of chewing the kids ’ toys. He ’s still the same puppy that craved companionship on the beach, except now that he has our family with him. I hope he doesn ’t feel lonely any more. Sometimes it occurs to me that we had such great luck that we found each other on the beach. One should always be happy to find love.
Ⅰ. 概要写作
阅读下面短文, 根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Generally, the two most common places for studying are either at home or in the library. Many people prefer to study at home rather than study in a library that is specifically set aside for people who need to study.
One of the major advantages of studying at home is that some people simply learn better when in a comfortable environment. While sitting at a table in an uncomfortable chair found in a library does work for some students, others may find that being on a couch in their own home is better. Libraries may also have a number of other students in them, all trying to use the same resources at the same time. This can make it difficult to use a computer or other public devices, especially near the end of a school term, and someone ’s computer is easier to use while he or she is studying at home.
Someone studying at home can also start and stop more easily, especially for breaks to get something to eat or drink. At home, a person may be able to simply walk into the next room and get some food. While studying in a library, however, it is likely that someone would have to pack up his or her study materials and leave the building completely to find something to eat.
However, there are some disadvantages of studying at home. Televisions, movies, music video games, roommates, family, and many more sources of distraction can all be present in a home but might not be found in a library. There are also certain resources that can be found from a library but may not be found at a person ’s home. On the contrary, libraries have another purpose besides providing a place for study. Those books are very handy, especially when one is writing term papers. There are hundreds to choose from.
