It may seem hard to leave Sydney’s attractions and sights, but when the urge arises to explore beyond the city, many exceptional day trips await travelers.
Scenic World
On a visit to the World heritage-listed Blue Mountains , enjoy clean fresh air and breath-taking landscapes of ancient rainforests.

Featherdale Wildlife Park
Located 45 minutes west of Sydney, Featherdale has the world’s largest collection of Australian native birds, mammals (哺乳动物) and reptiles (爬行动物). Situated in a bushland
environment, Featherdale provides a unique opportunity for up-close animal interactions (交往).

英语学科试题，第3页，共13 页
including dingos, emus, penguins and more.
Royal National Park
Established in 1879, the Royal is the world’s second-oldest national park. Located an hour’s drive south of Sydney, the beaches are unspoilt, crowd-free and great for surfing or swimming. There’s dramatic scenery along the way with a range of unique heritage attractions. Bushwalking, boating, canoeing and fishing are also popular activities.
The Hawkesbury River
An hour north-west of Sydney, the Hawkesbury is one of New South Wales’ best-kept secrets. Experience what this picturesque region of waterways, farmland and national parks has to
offer—from waterskiing and bushwalking to horse riding, river cruises and retail therapy.

“Humans can develop certain abilities we aren’t born with by practicing animals’ movements,” the traditional Chinese Kungfu lovers believed in the past and still do today.
Chinese Five-Animal Exercises, also known as Wuqinxi, are the first complete set of qigong
exercises following the movements of animals: monkeys, deer, birds, bears and tigers. They were created by one of the greatest doctors in Chinese history, Hua Tuo, more than 1,800 years ago.
The Five-Animal Exercises are well-designed to help blood circulation, and let the energy go
smoothly in the body so as to improve health.
英语学科试题，第4页，共13 页
“The bear movements are good for the stomach. The tiger movements can reduce the pain in
the back. The deer movements help reduce the fat around the waist. The bird movements can help
keep our knees healthy and the monkey movements can be good for the heart,” said Hua Yi, the
59th inheritor of Wuqinxi.
For those new learners, the first few exercises might not go well. You may find it hard to focus. Wear comfortable clothes, keep peaceful in your mind, try to move slowly... Little by little, you’ll feel more and more compatible with nature. You may even feel you become a tiger or a deer, walking in the forest freely.
These exercises need no tools and they are easy to learn. You can search online for the videos
and practice them at any time when you feel like relaxing your body and mind. It’s fun to practice and good for health, so Five Animal Exercises are becoming more and more popular in recent years, not only in China, but also in many other places of the world.
People practice Five-Animal Exercises in order to _________.
A. fight against enemies B. protect wild animals
C. improve health D. play as a group game
If your grandfather has a pain in the back, _________ may help him a lot
A. the bear movements B. the monkey movements
C. the bird movements D. the tiger movements
The underlined word “compatible” in Paragraph 5 probably means _________.
A. exciting B. harmonious C. serious D. shallow
The structure of the passage may be _________.
（①= Paragraph 1 ②= Paragraph 2 ③= Paragraph 3 ④=Paragraph 4
⑤= Paragraph5 ⑥= Paragraph 6）

On February 13, 2023, Wu Yibing made history, beating John Isner in a thrilling three-set final at the Dallas Open to become the first man from China to win an ATP title.
Brought to a tennis court for the first time at just five, initially encouraged by his parents as
an exercise to lose weight, Wu soon had his talent discovered by his provincial junior team, kicking off a journey that would change the face of men’s tennis in China. In 2017, Wu Yibing
shot to prominence after winning the US Open boys’ tournament at 18 to become the first Chinese
to win a major junior title, raising high hopes for the “Wonder Boy” to change the fortune of Chinese men in a sport long dominated by women’s success on the pro stage.
In 2018, Wu won his first ATP Challenger title in Shanghai. However, the brutally（残酷地）
competitive nature of men’s pro tennis hit the rising Wu with a tough reminder after multiple injuries — to his elbow, lower back, shoulder and wrist — forced him to be away from the ATP Tour for close to three years.
He made his return last year and won three ATP Challenger titles before qualifying for the US
Open. “Looking back, I feel like I wouldn’t have been here if not for the ups and downs over the past few years. I take all the setbacks and struggles as an asset（资产）that helps me mature mentally now,” said Wu. “Of course there were a lot of doubts because I had surgery and the rehab
（康复）wasn’t going well. The championship today was a payoff for all the hard work and
everyone who’s supported me along the way.”
What did he first start playing tennis for
A. Winning awards. B. Developing an interest.
Killing time. D. Becoming thinner.
Why was Wu absent from the ATP Tour for nearly three years
He wanted to change his career.
He suffered from serious physical injuries.
He didn’t stand out in training for the match.
He can’t handle the pressure of the ATP Tour.
What can we learn from Wu Yibing’s statement
A. No cross, no crown. B. Well begun is half done.
C. More haste, less speed. D. Time waits for no man.
Which of the following is the best title for the text
英语学科试题，第6页，共13 页
A. The Development of Chinese Tennis B. The Power of Difficulties for Athletes
C. The Pioneer of Chinese Tennis Sport D. The First Chinese Male Winner of ATP
D
I was born and raised in England in a culture where privacy and “keeping yourself to yourself” were valued traditions. Speaking to strangers was not encouraged. People were most hospitable
(好客的) and friendly — but only once they had been introduced to new people.
However, I have been lucky enough to spend some time in both Italy and the US, where I found traditions of hospitality and politeness to be very different.
I experienced Italian hospitality first-hand on a crowded railway carriage traveling, one
afternoon, from Genoa to Florence. Sinking gratefully into an empty seat, I was berated (斥责) in rapid Italian by a gentleman who was returning to this seat — it had not been “spare” after all. I apologized in English, and got up to allow him back into the seat. The gentleman obviously had no understanding of the English language, but he, too, realized my genuine mistake. He smiled and gestured for me to remain in the seat, and he himself remained standing in the corridor for the rest of the journey. The other passengers of the carriage smiled and nodded at me and made me feel quite welcome amongst them. I feel that if this had been in England, a foreigner who made a mistake would not always be so kindly treated.
Transport was also obvious in the differences I noticed between English and American culture. I flew to New York on a plane with mainly English passengers. We sat together in near silence. Nobody spoke to me nor, as I expected, to anyone else they did not know. They felt it was not polite to disturb someone else’s privacy. However, when I traveled across the United States, whether by plane or Greyhound bus, I was never short of conversation. Conversation was going on all around me and whoever sat next to me was happy to introduce themselves and ask me about myself, which was usually a pleasant way to kill time. They obviously felt it would have been rude not to speak to another person, whether they were strangers or not.
What do we know about the passengers of the carriage when the author was travelling in Italy
They were all on the side of the gentleman.
They all laughed at the author for this mistake.
They all showed their understanding of the author’s mistake.
They would not bear a mistake like the author’s in public.

According to the last paragraph, English passengers sat in near silence because________.
A. they were too tired to speak B. they are short of topics to talk about
C. they were all strangers to each other D. privacy was a valued tradition in England
The purpose of the author is to tell us ________.
his traveling experiences
how to adapt ourselves to a new culture
the culture shock he experienced in Italy and the US
cultural differences in hospitality and politeness
What is the author’s attitude towards American’s traditions of hospitality and politeness
A. Approving. B. Confused. C. Negative. D. Disapproving.

Developing a good personality is good for you. How can you achieve it Here are some suggestions.
36 Most people see personality as the collection of spiritual and behavioral qualities
that make you who you are. These are lasting along with you and you are easy to think, behave,
and feel in certain ways. Although some of your personality is decided by your genetics (基因) and your early experiences, it is possible to change your beliefs and behaviors over time to a certain degree.
Keep happy and enjoyable. Try to see the joy in the world. Laugh with others, but not at them.
37 Smiling and laughing a lot is a large part of having a good personality.
Always stay calm in different situations. A lot of people seem like they have a good personality. However, when they are faced with a sudden or serious event, they may lose their
head and panic. 38 If you are in a nervous situation, try to calm and relax yourself and
think what you can do to deal with the situation.
Keep your mind open. To have a good personality, you should be always ready to change your view. Listen to others and always be willing to open your mind. Don't judge other people just because they don't act in the same way as you do. Keeping an open mind will allow you to make
many new friends and certainly live a much more interesting life. 39

Scientists in Switzerland have used lasers(激光) to change the path of a lightning (闪电) strike. The experiment suggests in the future, lasers might be useful for protecting large buildings
lightning.
The experiment 57 (carry) out on a mountain in Switzerland, near a radio and
TV tower which was often hit by lightning. Using a special laser, the researchers were able to guide the lightning strike.
Lightning is the very bright flashes of light 58 (cause) by electricity that jumps
between the clouds and the ground. Lightning can be extremely 59 (power) and cause
serious 60 (problem) on the ground. It can cause fires, destroy buildings, and kill
people, with the damage 61 (cost) billions of dollars every year.

rods (长棒)on the buildings. These rods are connected to the ground. The lightning is attracted to
the rods, 63 safely guide the electricity into the ground. But lightning rods can only
protect 64 small area.
Another idea is to use lasers to guide lightning. Scientists have successfully guided lightning
with lasers, 65 the laser still didn't guide the lightning as far as the scientists would
like. It will probably take ten or more years before a laser like this is truly able to protect large buildings.

A MOTHER'S DAY SURPRISE
The twins were filled with excitement as they thought of the surprise they were planning for Mother's Day. How pleased and proud Mother would be when they brought her breakfast in bed. They planned to make French toast and chicken porridge. They had watched their mother in the kitchen. There was nothing to it. Jenna and Jeff knew exactly what to do.
The big day came at last. The alarm rang at 6 a.m. The pair went down the stairs quietly to
the kitchen. They decided to boil the porridge first. They put some rice into a pot of water and left it to boil while they made the French toast. Jeff broke two eggs into a plate and added in some milk. Jenna found the bread and put two slices into the egg mixture. Next, Jeff turned on the second stove burner to heat up the frying pan. Everything was going smoothly until Jeff started
frying the bread. The pan was too hot and the bread turned black within seconds. Jenna threw the
burnt piece into the sink and put in the other slice of bread. This time, she turned down the fire so it cooked nicely.
Then Jeff noticed steam shooting out of the pot and the lid starting to shake. The next minute,
the porridge boiled over and put out the fire. Jenna panicked. Thankfully, Jeff stayed calm and turned off he gas quickly. But the stove was a mess now. Jenna told Jeff to clean it up so they could continue to cook the rest of the porridge. But Jeff's hand touched the hot burner and he gave
a cry of pain. Jenna made him put his hand in cold water. Then she caught the smell of burning.
Oh dear! The piece of bread in the pan had turned black as well.
As the twins looked around them in disappointment, their father appeared.

Part Six Writing
Dear Peter,
Sorry to hear that you are in a bad mood and can’t get used to life in senior high school. My suggestions are as follows.
Firstly, you’d better set a study goal so that you will know what to do for the goal. Only in this way can you build up your confidence in study. Besides, it is wise for you to develop a pleasant relationship with your classmates. When you need help, they will give you a hand. Last but not least, I recommend that you (should) take an active part in extra curricular activities at school.
I do hope you will find my suggestions useful.
Best wishes!
