Four Special Hotels Around the world
Amangiri, Canyon Point, Utah
This place in the Utah desert is a favorite of many celebrities. While every room here has character, none matches the elegance(高雅) of the Girijaala Suite. The room has a large private lap pool, a sweeping balcony, and a sky lounge area where guests can bed down for the night under the clear Utah skies.
Beyond Ngala Safari Lodge, South Africa
At this place on the border of Kruger National Park, guests can reserve a one -night experience in a four-level tree house to see animals that wander the park.
With no ordinary structure, the house has a supply of solar power, a water collection system, and a bio-rock sanitation(卫生) system. Here, guests can sleep under the night sky taking in the magic of their surroundings.
Beverly Wilshire, Beverly Hills, California
Beverly Wilshire has been an attraction to many rich and powerful people since its opening in 1928. Guests who reserve the Veranda Suite located on the roof of the hotel are in for a serious surprise. Not only is the room accessed by a hidden entrance behind a staircase, but it also has a 2100-square-foot balcony with dreamy views of the Hollywood Hills. In the middle of this private, urban place is a 10-foot-tall tent with crystal lamps and fur carpets. In a city full of stars, you can get a special feeling.
La Valise Tulum, Mexico
If you can’t decide whether you would prefer to sleep indoors or outdoors, why not book a room that lets you do both in the same bed Such is the feature of the Master Suite at this property in Tulum.

“Come on! All of us are cutting maths. Who wants to take that quiz We are going to take a walk and get lunch instead. Let’s go!” says the coolest kid in your class. Do you do what you know is right and go to maths class, take the quiz and all Or do you give in and go with him
People who are at your age, like your classmates, are called peers. When they try to influence how you act and get you to do something, it’s called peer pressure. It’s something everyone has to deal with--even adults.
Peers influence your life, even if you don’t realize it, just by spending time with you. You learn from them, and they learn from you. It’s only human nature to listen to and learn from other people in your age group.
Peers can have a positive influence on each other. Maybe another student in your science class taught you an easy way to remember the planets in the solar system, or you got others excited about your new favorite book, and now everyone is reading it. Sometimes peers influence each other in negative ways. For example, a few kids in school might try to get you to cut class with them.
It’s difficult to say “no” to peer pressure, but you can do it. Paying attention to your own feelings and beliefs about what is right and what is wrong can help you know what is the right thing you should do.
It can really help to have at least one other peer, or friend, who is willing to say “no” too. If you continue to face peer pressure and you are finding it difficult to handle it, talk to someone you trust--a parent or a teacher. They can help you feel much better and prepare you for the next time you face peer pressure.

“ Dad,” I sai one day, “Let’s take a trip. Why don’t you fly out and meet me ”
My father had just retired after 27 years as a manager for IBM. His job filled his day, his thought and his life. While he woke up and took a warm shower, I screamed under a freezing waterfall in Peru. While he tied a tie and put on the same Swiss watch, I rowed a boat across Lake of the Ozarks.
My father saw me drifting aimlessly, nothing to show for my 33years but a passport full of funny stamps. He wanted me to settle down, but now I want him to find an adventure.
He agreed to travel with me through some national parks. We met four weeks later in Rapid City.
“What is our first stop ” asked my father.
“What time is it ”
“Still don’t have a watch ”
Less than an hour away was Mount Rushmore. As he stared up at the four Presidents carved in rocks, his mouth and eyes opened slowly, like those of a little boy. “Unbelievable,” he said, “how was this done ”
Sculptor Gutzon devoted 14 years to this sculpture and then left the final touches to his son. We stared up and I asked myself, “Would I ever devote my life to anything ”No directions, no goals. I always used to hear those words in my father’s voice. Now I hear them in my own.
The next day we were at Yellowstone National Park, where we had a picnic. “Did you ever travel with your dad ” I asked. “Only once” he said. “I never spoke much to my father. We loved each other--but never said it. Whatever he could give me, he gave.”
The last sentence--it’s probably the same thing I’d say about my father--is what I would want my child to say about me.
In Glacier National Park, my father said, “I have never seen water so blue.” I have, in several places of the world. I can keep traveling, I realize-- and maybe a regular job won’t be as dull as I feared.
Weeks after our trip, I called my father. “The photos from the trip are wonderful,” he said. “We have got to take another trip like that sometime.” I told him I had decided to settle down, and I’m wearing a watch.
28. What can we learn about the father from paragraph 2 and 3
A. He followed the fashion. B. He got bored with his job.
C. He was unhappy with the author’s lifestyle.
D. He liked the author’s collection of stamps.
29. What can be known about the author from the underlined paragraph
A. He wants his children to learn from their grandfather.
B. He comes to understand what parental love means.
C. He learns how to communicate with his father.
D. He hopes to give whatever he can to his father.
30. What could be inferred about the author and his father from the end of the story
A. The call solved their disagreements.
B. The Swiss Watch has drawn them closer.
C. They decided to learn photography together.
D. They began to change their attitudes to life .
31. What could be the best title for the passage
A. Love nature, love life. B.A son lost in adventure.
C. A journey with dad. D. The art of travel.

I live in New York city and my neighbours are people I don’t know. My city, neighborhood and block are filled with people who don’t know me, don’t care to know me, and don’t talk to me. I find that it’s pretty hard to love people you don’t even know. And sometimes, we all, myself included, use that as an excuse not to try. I read Brendan’s story recently and was moved.
One day, Brendan, a young man in New York was on the way back to his Brooklyn apartment when a homeless woman called Jackie asked him for money. He said that he had no money. By the end of the week, she asked two more times, and each time he answered “No”. The woman looked sad, so Brendan said, “I am on my way to a job interview. If I get the job, I’ll take you out for lunch.”
Brendan got the job. He took Jackie out for lunch. That was when their friendship began. They built a strong friendship by supporting each other and spending their birthdays, holidays and difficult times together, over a period of eight years. When Brendan’s heater broke, Jackie made a blanket for him. Two days later when he told her that he had lost his job, she left and returned minutes later, bring him food to eat. She continued to do that during the whole winter. Even with so little, she often gave back.
Over these years, Jackie moved from the streets and subway stations into a halfway house, and is now moving into an apartment. To celebrate it, Brendan wanted to do something special for Jackie. He went with her and helped her to pick out everything she would need for her new apartment.
May Brendan’s story encourage us to find a new way to honour, serve and love the people around us.

How can teenagers keep themselves from suffering from loneliness Here are some suggestions for speeding a recovery from loneliness.
___36___ A smile and a friendly greeting for the student behind you in line at the cafeteria won’t make you best friends. But it will make you both feel good. It can also make it easier to interact the next time and the time after that.
Find a safe place to make connections. If going to the dancing party makes you feel like you just don’t belong, try joining a special-interest group. __37__ Just because you feel left out in one group doesn’t mean you will feel like an outsider in every other one. Look for a group that allows you to feel comfortable gradually.
Find other ways of making connections. Lonely people hunger for friendship. Sometimes feeling accepted and liked comes more easily when you do something for others rather than wait for them to make you feel better.___38___. Teach a child for reading. Take notes for a disabled classmate. You might be surprised at the connections you make.
___39___ Loneliness is an absence of quality friendship, not of a particular quantity of friends. That is why it’s important to know how to select a friend. The best friendships are those based on similar values and attitudes.
You get what you expect, so expect the best. If you expect others to be friendly, you will behave in proper ways that encourage people to be friendlier to you. Loneliness won’t last long.___40___
A. Choose the right people.
B. So consider becoming a volunteer.
C. Reach out to others but start small.
D. It can be hard work to be positive towards others.
E. Maybe it is the drama club or the marching band.

第二节 （满分25分）
阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。
It was somewhere between spring and summer. My mom and I were driving through the countryside back. Then I was 13 years old and always felt unhappy with my mom. But little did I know that this trip was going to be a special one.
A pot of flowers sat in the back seat, whose heavenly scent filled the car. Suddenly, in the middle of nowhere, my mom pulled over. “What are you doing ” I cried, fearing that the car had broken down and we would be stuck there, so far from home. But that wasn’t the case. My mom hopped out of the car, grabbing the flowers in the back seat. “It will just be a minute,” she called back through the open windows.
My eyes impatiently skimmed the edge of the road before setting on a little sign showing that it was a nursing home. I looked back to the building, somewhat annoyed, as my mom reappeared---empty-handed.
Before she started the car, curiosity drove me to ask, “Do you know someone there ” She shook her head. “Then what did you do with the flowers ” She smiled slightly, “I gave them to the receptionist.” “What ” She laughed at my confusion. “ I told the receptionist to give the flowers to whoever needs them, especially who hasn’t gotten any in a while.”
I kept silent for a moment. Not long after we continued our driving, I spoke again, Did you leave your name ” She answered instantly, “No. Leaving flowers there for someone who will appreciate them makes me feel good, which is enough for me.”
Suddenly, still thinking about Mom’s deeds, I heard something burst loudly. It was our car that broke down! Nothing could be worse, because neither my mom nor I understood how to repair it, and we didn’t know where the garage was. It also seemed impossible to wait for any passer-by, since we had seen so few along the way.
Paragraph 1:
We were worrying about what could be done.__________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
As we drove along, a flower shop came into sight on the road.
