Sitting on the edge of the world, Sydney is considered as one of the world’s greatest cities. Here are some things you should do and see in Sydney.
Explore Sydney’s hottest neighborhood
Many big-ticket attractions can be found in or around the Circular Quay area, right by the port. Here, you can get on ferries(轮渡) to faraway islands or go exploring on foot with the Sydney Opera House, Royal Botanic Gardens and Museum of Contemporary all nearby.
Take side trips
Popular among outdoor types, the rough Blue Mountains—about two hours by train west of the city—promises winter skiing, excellent hiking and kangaroo sightings. Walking through the national park, travelers will watch forests, waterfalls, natural caves, small villages and rock formations.
The Hunter valley, just a two-hour drive north of Sydney, is Australia’s oldest wine region. Most vineyards(葡萄园) are family-owned, focusing on small production. Wine is more personal here.
Stay in style
The classic Langham Hotel is located just west of Circular Quay, offering easy access to the famous port.
As you explore its beautiful corridors(走廊), look for contemporary artworks from around the world—The Langham Hotel has the largest art gathering (more than $1 million worth) in Australia.
Meanwhile, those looking for a more relaxed experience can go camping on Cockatoo Island—just a quick boat ride from Circular Quay.
Travel tips
Leaving tips at the bar or for a taxi isn’t expected, but it’s appreciated.
When riding in a taxi alone, it’s customary to sit in the front seat.
Bring sun cream, sunglasses and hat—whatever the season.
On Sundays, families enjoy discounted fares on Sydney’s ferries and trains.
1. What can you do in the Blue Mountains
A. Explore the artificial caves. B. Watch the lovely kangaroos.
C. Taste locally produced wine. D. Enjoy the unique corridors.
2. What makes the Langham Hotel special
A. Its ideal location. B. Its first-class service.
C. Its big collection of artworks. D. Its modem architectural style.
3. Which of the following is strongly suggested about touring Sydney

C. Sit behind the driver in a taxi. D. Travel by train.

Marathon is one of the most difficult races in track and field, at a little over 42 kilometers. To be a world-class marathoner, you must run that distance in two and a half hours. But for some, completing a marathon race is a lifelong dream.
Jacqueline’s dream of being a world-class runner began when she was a child in Kenya. She soon realized she had the talent and the willpower to compete. She also knew she would have to train full-time, which meant not being able to work to help support her family. But she was confident that she could bring home prize money.
Jacqueline traveled to China to compete in the Zheng-Kai marathon knowing she had a good shot at winning the race, but more importantly, the $10,000 prize that went with it. She was leading the women’s division when a male runner arrived at the water station. The man had trouble drinking water because a birth defect(缺陷)had left him without hands, and he struggled to drink from a plastic bottle. But any assistance from fans or race officials would result in his disqualification. Jacqueline noticed the man and immediately knew that he needed help. She grabbed a water bottle and helped him get the water his body needed to complete the race.
Runner after runner passed Jacqueline. Her hopes of winning were getting lost in numerous runners ahead of her. With only 4 kilometers left in the race, and certain that the male runner would now finish, Jacqueline picked up her pace and finally finished second.
That day, Jacqueline missed out on first place, but she finished something more important: humanity. She returned home with the smaller prize of second place, but to her family, she brought home something much more valuable to home: the right example.
4. What can we know about Jacqueline from paragraph 2
A. She was born with little sports talent.
B. Her goal was to win a championship.
C. Her family opposed her going for a run.
D. She had to train full-time to achieve her dream.
5. Why did the male runner struggle to drink from a plastic bottle
A. He was disabled.
B. He didn’t like bottled water.
C. He was running forward in a hurry.
D. He competed with other runners for water.
6. What happened after Jacqueline helped the male runner
A. She won second place at last.
B. She was criticised by her family.
C. She was disqualified for going against rules.
D. She fell behind several runners and gave up.
7. What is the attitude of Jacqueline’s family towards her deed
A. Cautious. B. Approval. C. Critieal. D. Disappointed.
【答案】4. D 5. A 6. A 7. B
【解析】

【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“She returned home with the smaller prize of second place, but to her family, she brought home something much more valuable to home: the right example.”（她带着第二名的小奖回家了，但对她的家人来说，她带回了对家更有价值的东西：正确的榜样。）可知，她的家人认为她做的事是正确的，说明她的家人是支持她的。故选B项。
C
Are you the kind of person who hated school Or are you more like Michael Nicholson, who can’t stop learning He currently has 30 degrees including 22 master’s and a doctor’s degree! If you’re also crazy about studying, you might be a philomath — a person who loves to learn and study. The word comes from Greek with “phil” meaning “a lover of” and “math” meaning “learning”.
Humans are all philomaths to an extent — our brain is born to be curious. We want to learn and understand, partly to make sense of the world but also because of something called neoteny. This is a term that refers to the youthful characteristics of humans being remained into adulthood. One of these characteristics is neuroplasticity, which helps our brains stay flexible — this gives us the ability to learn throughout our lives. Many creatures which are close to us, like primates (灵长类), can’t do this and only learn during their youthhood.
But for every person who loves learning, there are plenty who can’t stand it. Lots of people remember their school days as being boring or even pointless. Why is this Educational experts have suggested that if an idea is too dull or too difficult to understand, it becomes harder to connect old and new ideas together. If that is the case, we lose interest and take in less information. This negative experience of education at school may lead to people avoiding learning opportunities in later life.
So, don’t let a negative educational experience prevent you learning something new as an adult. Take advantage of your biology and discover your inner philomath. Who knows what you could achieve
8. Why does the author mention “Michael Nicholson” in paragraph 1
A. To lead to a topic. B. To introduce a figure.
C. To present a rule. D. To raise a question.
9. What is paragraph 2 mainly about
A. Humans can be lifelong learners.
B. Creatures like primates can’t learn.
C. Humans are born to know the world.
D. Creatures have different learning abilities.
10. What may kill humans passion for later learning according to the text
A. Less learning opportunities.
B. Old memories of school days.
C. Ways to connect old and new ideas.
D. Bad education experiences when young.
11. What does the author intend to do by writing this text
A. To praise people who can’t stop learning.
B. To make it clear to people what is a philomath.
C. To explain why some people don’t like studying.
D. To encourage people to be passionate in learning.
【答案】8. A 9. A 10. D 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了不要让年幼时糟糕的教育经历阻止你成年后学习新的东西，我们要利用进化的生理优势并发现内在哲学，从而实现终身学习。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Or are you more like Michael Nicholson, who can’t stop learning He currently has 30 degrees including 22 master’s and a doctor’s degree! If you’re also crazy about studying, you might be a philomath — a person who loves to learn and study.”（还是你更像迈克尔·尼科尔森一样无法停止学习？他目前拥有30个学位，包括22个硕士和1个博士学位！如果你也热衷于学习，你可能是一个爱做学问的人——一个热爱学习的人。）可知，作者在第一段中提到了“迈克尔·尼科尔森”是为了引出文章的话题——做热衷学习的人。故选A项。
【9题详解】
段落大意题。根据第二段“We want to learn and understand, partly to make sense of the world but also because of something called neoteny. This is a term that refers to the youthful characteristics of humans being remained into adulthood. One of these characteristics is neuroplasticity, which helps our brains stay flexible — this gives us the ability to learn throughout our lives.”（我们想要学习和理解，部分原因是为了理解这个世界，但也因为一种叫做幼态的东西。这是一个术语，指的是人类一直保持到成年的年轻特征。其中一个特征是神经可塑性，它有助于我们的大脑保持灵活性——这使得我们有终身学习的能力。）可知，第二段主要讲的是人类可以成为终身学习者的原因。故选A项。
10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“This negative experience of education at school may lead to people avoiding learning opportunities in later life.”（这种在学校接受教育的负面经历可能会导致人们在以后的生活中避免学习机会。）可知，可能会扼杀人类对日后学习的热情的是年少时糟糕的教育经历。故选D项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“So, don’t let a negative educational experience prevent you learning something new as an adult. Take advantage of your biology and discover your inner philomath.”（所以，不要让消极教育经历阻碍你成年后学习新东西。利用你的生物学优势，发现你内在的那个爱学习的人。）可知，作者通过写这篇文章是为了鼓励人们对学习保持热情。故选D项。
D
Time to load up some popular games: new research indicates pigs possess the mental capability to play video games. The study, published in Frontiers in Psychology, tested the ability of four pigs (Hamlet, Omelette, Ebony and Ivory) to play a simple joystick (操纵杆) game with their noses, moving a cursor (光标) to four targets on the screen. Although the animals didn’t demonstrate the skills to win a round any time, they did show an understanding of some elementary games. Performing well not by chance, the pigs appeared to recognize the movement of the cursor was controlled by the joystick. The fact that they did so well despite a lack of flexible fingers is “extraordinary”, according to the researchers.
“It is no small achievement for an animal to grasp the concept that the behaviour they are performing is having an effect elsewhere. That pigs can do this to any degree should give us pause as to what else they are capable of learning and how such learning may impact them, “said Purdue University’s Dr Candace Croney, the study’s lead author.
Researchers also noted that while the pigs could be taught to play the game using food as positive motivation, they also responded well to social interaction. In fact, when the game was made more challenging and the pigs became unwilling to participate in it, “only oral encouragement by the experimenter” would see training continue.
These findings are the latest to highlight the intelligence of pigs. Not only have they been shown to use mirrors to find hidden food, but studies have also demonstrated how pigs can be taught to “come” and “sit” after oral commands.
As with any sentient (有感觉力的) beings, how we interact with pigs and what we do to them impacts and matters to them. We therefore have a moral duty to understand how pigs acquire information, and what they are capable of learning and remembering, because it ultimately offers the potential for how they understand their interactions with us and their environments.
12. What can be learned from Paragraph 1
A. The pigs sometimes won the video games.
B. The pigs operated joysticks with their noses.
C. The pigs competed with each other in the games.
D. The pigs sometimes performed well accidentally.
13. What does the underlined phrase “give us pause” refer to
A. Stop us from advancing. B. Affect us in learning.
C. Make us think seriously. D. Force us to train pigs better.
14. What made researchers believe pigs socially interacted well
A. Their being inspired by human words. B. Their being driven by food.
C. Their being willing to keep trying. D. Their being motivated by challenges.
15. Which of the following could be the best title
A. Smart Pigs: Best Animal Players B. Flexible Noses: Fun Games
C. Oral Commands: Pig Learners D. Pig Players: Learning Potential
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述猪经过人们的训练和与人互动后，可以用鼻子玩电动，能够听懂人的指令，从而说明猪有很强的学习潜力。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“The study, published in Frontiers in Psychology, tested the ability of four pigs (Hamlet, Omelette, Ebony and Ivory) to play a simple joystick (操纵杆) game with their noses, moving a cursor (光标) to four targets on the screen. (这项研究发表在《心理学前沿》上，测试了四只猪(哈姆雷特、煎蛋、乌木和象牙)用鼻子玩简单的操纵杆游戏的能力，将光标移动到屏幕上的四个目标上。)”可知，第一段主要介绍猪能够够用鼻子操作操纵杆，故选B。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段“It is no small achievement for an animal to grasp the concept that the behaviour they are performing is having an effect elsewhere. (对于动物来说，能理解它们正在实施的一个行为可以在别处产生影响的概念并不是小成就。)”及“what else they are capable of learning and how such learning may impact them (他们还能学习什么，以及这种学习如何影响他们)”可知，猪能够够用鼻子操作操纵杆，这不是一个小成就，值得我们认真思考，看看猪还能学习什么，以及这种学习如何影响他们。故推知give us pause表示“让我们认真思考”，与Make us think seriously意义一致，故选C。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Researchers also noted that while the pigs could be taught to play the game using food as positive motivation, they also responded well to social interaction. In fact, when the game was made more challenging and the pigs became unwilling to participate in it, “only oral encouragement by the experimenter” would see training continue. (研究人员还指出，虽然可以用食物作为积极动机来教猪玩游戏，但它们对社交互动的反应也很好。事实上，当游戏变得更具挑战性并且猪变得不愿意参与时，“只有实验者的口头鼓励”才能使训练继续进行。)”可知，因为实验者的口头鼓励可以使猪参与训练，所以研究人员相信猪对社交互动的反应很好。故推知猪受到人类话语的启发使研究人员相信猪的社交互动很好，故选A。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Performing well not by chance, the pigs appeared to recognize the movement of the cursor was controlled by the joystick. The fact that they did so well despite a lack of flexible fingers is “extraordinary”, according to the researchers. (表现良好并非偶然，猪似乎意识到光标的移动是由操纵杆控制的。据研究人员称，尽管缺乏灵活的手指，但他们做得如此之好，这是“不可思议的”。)”及第四段“These findings are the latest to highlight the intelligence of pigs. Not only have they been shown to use mirrors to find hidden food, but studies have also demonstrated how pigs can be taught to “come” and “sit” after oral commands. (这些发现是最新发现的，突出了猪的智力。他们不仅被证明使用镜子来寻找隐藏的食物，而且研究还证明了如何在口头命令后教猪“过来”和“坐下”。)”可知，文章主要讲述猪经过人们的训练和与人互动后，可以用鼻子玩电动，能够听懂人的指令，说明猪有很强的学习潜力。所以文章的标题应是Pig Players: Learning Potential(猪玩家：学习的潜力)，故选D。
第二节 (共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分)

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何帮助人们制定一个计划去调节生物钟，确保起床不再是一件令人头疼的事。
【16题详解】
上文“In fact, the key to easy morning wake-up lies in resting your body clock(事实上，早晨轻松起床关键在于让你的生物钟休息。)”指出让你的生物钟休息，能帮你早晨轻松起床，空处应该承接上文，指出怎样能让你的生物钟休息，从而实现早上轻松起床，C项“A better plan for sleep can help.(一个更好的睡眠计划会有所帮助。)”符合，引起下文，下文“Here is how to make one.(以下是制作一个睡眠计划的方法。)”中的one代指选项提到的“A better plan”，故选C。
【17题详解】
分析文章结构可知，此处是本段中心句。下文“In order to make a change, you need to decide why it’s important. Do you want to get up in time to have breakfast with your family, get in some exercise or just be better prepared for your day Once you are clear about your reason, tell your family or roommates about the change you want to make.(为了做出改变，你需要决定为什么它是重要的。你想准时起床和家人一起吃早餐，做些运动或者只是为你的一天做更好的准备吗？一旦你清楚了你的理由，告诉你的家人或室友你想要做的改变。)”可知，本段主要讲要找到自己的动机，B项“Find the right motivation.(找到正确的动机。)”符合，能概括本段内容，故选B。
【18题详解】
下文“That’s a quarter-hour more you could be sleeping if you bought a coffee maker with a timer.(如果你买一个带定时器的咖啡机，你可以多睡一刻钟。)”指出，作者建议买一个带定时器的咖啡机，这样就能节约15分钟喝咖啡的时间，让你多睡15分钟，由此可知，空处应该引起下文，指出你在咖啡馆排队会浪费15分钟时间，所以作者建议买一个带定时器的咖啡机，G项“Reconsider the 15 minutes you spend in line at the cafe to get coffee.(重新考虑一下你在咖啡馆排队买咖啡的15分钟。)”符合，其中“the 15 minutes”呼应下文的“a quarter-hour”，故选G。
【19题详解】
根据本段中心句“Keep your sleep/wake schedule on weekends.(周末保持你的睡眠/起床时间表)”可知，本段主要建议人们在周末也要坚持自己的作息时间，上文“But compensating (弥补) on the weekends actually feeds into your sleepiness the following week, a recent study found(但最近的一项研究发现，周末的补偿实际上会让你在接下来的一周更加困倦。)”指出如果周末没有保持自己的作息时间，而是多睡觉，这实际上让自己下周更困倦，由此可知，此处强调我们应该要保持自己的作息时间，F项“Stick to your set bedtime and wake-up time, no matter the day it is.(不管是哪一天，都要坚持你设定的睡觉时间和起床时间。)”符合，对上文做出总结，故选F。
【20题详解】
上文“After you’ve tried a new method for a week, take a look at your record.(在你尝试了一个星期的新方法之后，看看你的记录。)”指出我们在尝试新方法后，要自己做好记录同时进行评估，下文“If not, take another look at other methods you could try.(如果没有，再看看其他你可以尝试的方法。)”指出尝试的新方法如果不起作用，要改变方法，由此可推知，空处应该与下文对应，指出如果方法奏效，要继续使用，E项“If the steps you take are working, keep it up.(如果你采取的措施奏效了，那就坚持下去。)”符合，故选E。

Eric was working in a selling business. He had been on the road visiting people for more than a month without going home. He couldn’t wait to get back to see his wife and children. It was coming up on Mother’s Day, and he usually tried to make it “back home”, but this year he was just too busy and too tired. The day when he was driving in a small town, he saw a flower shop. He said to himself, “I know what I will do. I’ll send my mother some roses.”
He stopped and went into the flower shop and saw a young man talking to the girl in it. “How many roses can I get for five dollars, Miss？” the young man asked. The girl was trying to explain that roses were expensive. Maybe the young man would be happy with something else.
“No. I have to have roses,” he said. “My mom was badly sick last year and I didn’t get to spend much time with her. I want to get something special. It has to be red roses, because that is her favorite.” He was stubborn.
The girl in the shop looked up at Eric and was just shaking her head. Something inside of Eric was touched by the boy’s voice. He wanted to get those roses so badly. Eric had been lucky in his business, and he looked at the girl and silently said that he would pay for the young man’s roses.
The girl looked at the young man and said, “OK, I will give you a dozen red roses for your dollars.” The young man almost jumped into the air. He took the flowers and ran down the store. It was worth more than fifty dollars just to see that kind of excitement.
Eric ordered his own flowers and asked the girl to have it delivered to his mother. After that, with a relief he drove down the road. Not long after his driving,he saw the young man walking to a graveyard (墓地)．

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了埃里克一直忙于工作没有时间回家看望母亲，在母亲节将来来临之际，他在镇上的花店给母亲买花时，被一位男青年对于母亲的爱和思念所打动，他对自己没有回家看望母亲感到愧疚，决定亲自给母亲送花的故事。
【46题详解】
①考查形容词。根据第一段中“It was coming up on Mother’s Day, and he usually tried to make it “back home”, but this year he was just too busy and too tired. (母亲节快到了，他通常会想办法“回家”，但今年他太忙了，也太累了。)”可知，作者今年太忙太累了而没有在母亲节的时候回家。空处需要形容词tired“劳累的”作表语。故填tired。
②考查形容词性物主代词。根据第一段中“He said to himself, “I know what I will do. I’ll send my mother some roses.” (他对自己说：“我知道我会做什么。我会给我妈妈送一些玫瑰。”)”可知，作者决定送给他妈妈一些玫瑰。空处需要形容词性物主代词his“他的”，作定语。故填his。
③考查动词。根据第二段“He stopped and went into the flower shop and saw a young man talking to the girl in it. “How many roses can I get for five dollars, Miss？” the young man asked. (他停下来走进花店，看到一个年轻人在和里面的女孩说话。“小姐，五美元能买到多少朵玫瑰？”年轻人问道)”可知，作者在花店看到一个男士正试着用五美元买玫瑰花。空处需要动词try“尝试”，空处需要非谓语动词作宾语补足语，该动词和宾语之间为主动关系，所以用现在分词作宾语补足语。故填trying。
④考查动词。根据第二段“The girl was trying to explain that roses were expensive. (女孩试图解释玫瑰很贵。)”可知，女孩正在尽量解释玫瑰花很贵。空处需要动词explain“解释”。try to do sth.“尽量作某事”。故填to explain。
⑤考查名词。根据第三段“I want to get something special. It has to be red roses，because that is her favorite. (我想买点特别的。一定是红玫瑰，因为那是她的最爱。)”可知，红玫瑰是男士妈妈的最爱。由此可知，他坚持他妈妈的最爱是红玫瑰。空处需要名词favorite“特别喜爱的人（或物）”。故填favorite。
⑥考查副词。根据第三段““No. I have to have roses, ” he said. “My mom was badly sick last year and I didn’t get to spend much time with her. (“不，我必须要玫瑰，”他说。“我妈妈去年病得很重，我没有太多时间陪她。”)”可知，男士的妈妈病的很重。由此可推知，他想要送给他妈妈红玫瑰是由于他妈妈病的很重。空处需要副词badly“严重地”，修饰形容词。故填badly。
⑦考查动词。根据第四段“Something inside of Eric was touched by the boy’s voice. (男孩的声音触动了埃里克的内心。)”可知，男孩的声音触动了埃里克的内心。由此可知，Eric被男孩的声音感动，决定给男孩买玫瑰花。空处需要动词touch“感动”，在句中作谓语，句子为一般过去时态，和主语之间为被动关系，所以用一般过去时态的被动语态，主语为第三人称单数形式。故填was touched。
⑧考查名词。根据倒数第二段“The young man almost jumped into the air. He took the flowers and ran down the store. It was worth more than fifty dollars just to see that kind of excitement. (那个年轻人几乎跳到空中。他拿着花沿着商店跑去。光是看到那种刺激就值五十多美元了。)”可知，男人因为能够买到玫瑰花而非常的兴奋。由此可知，男人兴奋地拿着玫瑰花离开了。空处需要名词excitement“兴奋”，和前面的介词in构成介词短语，在句中作状语。故填excitement。
⑨考查动词。根据最后一段“Eric ordered his own flowers and asked the girl to have it delivered to his mother. (埃里克订购了自己的花，并要求女孩把它送到他的母亲。)”可知，作者订了花并让女孩送到了母亲那。空处需要动词deliver“投递”。空处需要非谓语动词作宾语补足语，该动词和宾语之间为被动关系，所以用过去分词。故填delivered。
⑩考查动词。根据最后一段“After that, with a relief he drove down the road. Not long after his driving，he saw the young man walking to a graveyard (墓地). (在那之后，他如释重负地开车上路。开车后不久，他看到那个年轻人走向墓地。)”可知，买完花后，作者开车上路了。空处需要动词drive“驾驶”，在句中作谓语。句子是对过去事实的描述，所以用一般过去时态。故填drove。
【47题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“It was coming up on Mother’s Day, and he usually tried to make it “back home”, but this year he was just too busy and too tired. (母亲节快到了，他通常会想办法“回家”，但今年他太忙了，也太累了。)”可知，母亲节对于作者来说就是回家拜访母亲，在那一天表示对母亲的爱。故答案为It was a time to visit his mother and show his love for her.
【48题详解】
细节理解题。倒数第二段“ It was worth more than fifty dollars just to see that kind of excitement. (光是看到这种兴奋就值50多美元)”可知，作者帮助了男士后，感觉看到男士是如此兴奋，他觉得很值。故答案为He felt it was worth more than fifty dollars just to see the young man’s excitement.
【49题详解】
开放题。本题为开放题，答案不唯一，合理即可。题目问“Eric 看到这个年轻人走向墓地后会怎么做？”。可以回答“他或许在母亲节亲自回家看望母亲”。visit his mother“拜访他的母亲”，the coming Mother’s Day“即将到来的母亲节”，in person“亲自”。故答案为He might visit his mother on the coming Mother’s Day in person.（答案不唯一）

Sitting on the edge of the world, Sydney is considered as one of the world’s greatest cities. Here are some things you should do and see in Sydney.
Explore Sydney’s hottest neighborhood
Many big-ticket attractions can be found in or around the Circular Quay area, right by the port. Here, you can get on ferries(轮渡) to faraway islands or go exploring on foot with the Sydney Opera House, Royal Botanic Gardens and Museum of Contemporary all nearby.
Take side trips
Popular among outdoor types, the rough Blue Mountains—about two hours by train west of the city—promises winter skiing, excellent hiking and kangaroo sightings. Walking through the national park, travelers will watch forests, waterfalls, natural caves, small villages and rock formations.
The Hunter valley, just a two-hour drive north of Sydney, is Australia’s oldest wine region. Most vineyards(葡萄园) are family-owned, focusing on small production. Wine is more personal here.
Stay in style
The classic Langham Hotel is located just west of Circular Quay, offering easy access to the famous port.
As you explore its beautiful corridors(走廊), look for contemporary artworks from around the world—The Langham Hotel has the largest art gathering (more than $1 million worth) in Australia.
Meanwhile, those looking for a more relaxed experience can go camping on Cockatoo Island—just a quick boat ride from Circular Quay.
Travel tips
Leaving tips at the bar or for a taxi isn’t expected, but it’s appreciated.
When riding in a taxi alone, it’s customary to sit in the front seat.
Bring sun cream, sunglasses and hat—whatever the season.
On Sundays, families enjoy discounted fares on Sydney’s ferries and trains.
1. What can you do in the Blue Mountains
A. Explore the artificial caves. B. Watch the lovely kangaroos.
C. Taste locally produced wine. D. Enjoy the unique corridors.
2. What makes the Langham Hotel special
A. Its ideal location. B. Its first-class service.
C. Its big collection of artworks. D. Its modem architectural style.
3. Which of the following is strongly suggested about touring Sydney
A. Ensure sun protection. B. Offer bar tips.
C. Sit behind the driver in a taxi. D. Travel by train.
B
Marathon is one of the most difficult races in track and field, at a little over 42 kilometers. To be a world-class marathoner, you must run that distance in two and a half hours. But for some, completing a marathon race is a lifelong dream.
Jacqueline’s dream of being a world-class runner began when she was a child in Kenya. She soon realized she had the talent and the willpower to compete. She also knew she would have to train full-time, which meant not being able to work to help support her family. But she was confident that she could bring home prize money.
Jacqueline traveled to China to compete in the Zheng-Kai marathon knowing she had a good shot at winning the race, but more importantly, the $10,000 prize that went with it. She was leading the women’s division when a male runner arrived at the water station. The man had trouble drinking water because a birth defect(缺陷)had left him without hands, and he struggled to drink from a plastic bottle. But any assistance from fans or race officials would result in his disqualification. Jacqueline noticed the man and immediately knew that he needed help. She grabbed a water bottle and helped him get the water his body needed to complete the race.
Runner after runner passed Jacqueline. Her hopes of winning were getting lost in numerous runners ahead of her. With only 4 kilometers left in the race and certain that the male runner would now finish, Jacqueline picked up her pace and finally finished second.
That day, Jacqueline missed out on first place, but she finished something more important: humanity. She returned home with the smaller prize of second place, but to her family, she brought home something much more valuable to home: the right example.

Are you the kind of person who hated school Or are you more like Michael Nicholson, who can’t stop learning He currently has 30 degrees including 22 master’s and a doctor’s degree! If you’re also crazy about studying, you might be a philomath — a person who loves to learn and study. The word comes from Greek with “phil” meaning “a lover of” and “math” meaning “learning”.
Humans are all philomaths to an extent — our brain is born to be curious. We want to learn and understand, partly to make sense of the world but also because of something called neoteny. This is a term that refers to the youthful characteristics of humans being remained into adulthood. One of these characteristics is neuroplasticity, which helps our brains stay flexible — this gives us the ability to learn throughout our lives. Many creatures which are close to us, like primates (灵长类), can’t do this and only learn during their youthhood.
But for every person who loves learning, there are plenty who can’t stand it. Lots of people remember their school days as being boring or even pointless. Why is this Educational experts have suggested that if an idea is too dull or too difficult to understand, it becomes harder to connect old and new ideas together. If that is the case, we lose interest and take in less information. This negative experience of education at school may lead to people avoiding learning opportunities in later life.
So, don’t let a negative educational experience prevent you learning something new as an adult. Take advantage of your biology and discover your inner philomath. Who knows what you could achieve
8. Why does the author mention “Michael Nicholson” in paragraph 1
A. To lead to a topic. B. To introduce a figure.
C. To present a rule. D. To raise a question.
9. What is paragraph 2 mainly about
A. Humans can be lifelong learners.
B. Creatures like primates can’t learn.
C. Humans are born to know the world.
D. Creatures have different learning abilities.
10. What may kill humans passion for later learning according to the text
A. Less learning opportunities.
B. Old memories of school days.
C. Ways to connect old and new ideas.
D. Bad education experiences when young.
11. What does the author intend to do by writing this text
A. To praise people who can’t stop learning.
B. To make it clear to people what is a philomath.
C. To explain why some people don’t like studying.
D. To encourage people to be passionate in learning.
D
Time to load up some popular games: new research indicates pigs possess the mental capability to play video games. The study, published in Frontiers in Psychology, tested the ability of four pigs (Hamlet, Omelette, Ebony and Ivory) to play a simple joystick (操纵杆) game with their noses, moving a cursor (光标) to four targets on the screen. Although the animals didn’t demonstrate the skills to win a round any time, they did show an understanding of some elementary games. Performing well not by chance, the pigs appeared to recognize the movement of the cursor was controlled by the joystick. The fact that they did so well despite a lack of flexible fingers is “extraordinary”, according to the researchers.
“It is no small achievement for an animal to grasp the concept that the behaviour they are performing is having an effect elsewhere. That pigs can do this to any degree should give us pause as to what else they are capable of learning and how such learning may impact them, “said Purdue University’s Dr Candace Croney, the study’s lead author.
Researchers also noted that while the pigs could be taught to play the game using food as positive motivation, they also responded well to social interaction. In fact, when the game was made more challenging and the pigs became unwilling to participate in it, “only oral encouragement by the experimenter” would see training continue.
These findings are the latest to highlight the intelligence of pigs. Not only have they been shown to use mirrors to find hidden food, but studies have also demonstrated how pigs can be taught to “come” and “sit” after oral commands.
As with any sentient (有感觉力的) beings, how we interact with pigs and what we do to them impacts and matters to them. We therefore have a moral duty to understand how pigs acquire information, and what they are capable of learning and remembering, because it ultimately offers the potential for how they understand their interactions with us and their environments.
12. What can be learned from Paragraph 1
A. The pigs sometimes won the video games.
B. The pigs operated joysticks with their noses.
C. The pigs competed with each other in the games.
D. The pigs sometimes performed well accidentally.
13. What does the underlined phrase “give us pause” refer to
A. Stop us from advancing. B. Affect us in learning.
C. Make us think seriously. D. Force us to train pigs better.
14. What made researchers believe pigs socially interacted well
A. Their being inspired by human words. B. Their being driven by food.
C. Their being willing to keep trying. D. Their being motivated by challenges.
15 Which of the following could be the best title
A. Smart Pigs: Best Animal Players B. Flexible Noses: Fun Games
C. Oral Commands: Pig Learners D. Pig Players: Learning Potential

Eric was working in a selling business. He had been on the road visiting people for more than a month without going home. He couldn’t wait to get back to see his wife and children. It was coming up on Mother’s Day, and he usually tried to make it “back home”, but this year he was just too busy and too tired. The day when he was driving in a small town, he saw a flower shop. He said to himself, “I know what I will do. I’ll send my mother some roses.”
He stopped and went into the flower shop and saw a young man talking to the girl in it. “How many roses can I get for five dollars, Miss？” the young man asked. The girl was trying to explain that roses were expensive. Maybe the young man would be happy with something else.
“No. I have to have roses,” he said. “My mom was badly sick last year and I didn’t get to spend much time with her. I want to get something special. It has to be red roses, because that is her favorite.” He was stubborn.
The girl in the shop looked up at Eric and was just shaking her head. Something inside of Eric was touched by the boy’s voice. He wanted to get those roses so badly. Eric had been lucky in his business, and he looked at the girl and silently said that he would pay for the young man’s roses.
The girl looked at the young man and said, “OK, I will give you a dozen red roses for your dollars.” The young man almost jumped into the air. He took the flowers and ran down the store. It was worth more than fifty dollars just to see that kind of excitement.
Eric ordered his own flowers and asked the girl to have it delivered to his mother. After that, with a relief he drove down the road. Not long after his driving,he saw the young man walking to a graveyard (墓地)．
