The World’s Most Dangerous Awesome Sport Destinations
If you’re looking for an extra challenging place to do sports when traveling, you will definitely want to visit these places below.
Burj AI Arab, Dubai.
The world’s highest tennis court is situated 1,000 feet above the ocean standing atop the fourth highest hotel in the world—Burj AI Arab in Dubai. The tennis court is circular in shape and when no session is at play, it doubles as a helipad (直升机场).
Camp Bonifas, South Korea
You would think that golf isn’t a very dangerous sport, and if you go to the Scottsdale golf course or those amazing Hawaii golf courses then that is probably true, which is why this golf course might blow your mind.
Camp Bonifas is in South Korea right on the border to North Korea. When they built the course they realized that they wouldn’t be able to fit 18 holes in the camp, so they decided to build a 1-hole golf course surrounded by LIVE minefields (布雷区) on three sides.
Blue Hole, Egypt
The Blue Hole is a submarine sinkhole at a depth of 130 meters. It is known as the most dangerous diving spot because of the large number of deaths that have occurred from people diving in the hole.
Many inexperienced or overconfident divers sometimes have trouble finding the tunnel connecting the Blue Hole and open water and end up descending too deep…!
Ponte Brolla, Switzerland
Ponte Brolla is famous as one of the most famous, extreme and dangerous cliff diving, or “tombstoning” spots in the world.
Several World High Diving Federation championships have been hosted here, where the divers face a 26-meter jump into ice cold water.
This sport might look like a fun and easy thing, but it’s not nicknamed “tombstoning” for nothing.

C. Blue Hole. D. Ponte Brolla.
2 What can we infer about Camp Bonifas

Brennan Ray saw Shayden on his doorbell camera and started a conversation with him. “Um, I just wanted to see if you knew any kids around like 11 or 12, maybe,” Shayden can be heard saying in the video. “I need some friends, like really bad.” Brennan decided to post the video to TikTok, hoping to find Shayden some friends. “You never know what people are going through until you got a chance to talk to them. This young man is well mannered, kind, and brave. So can we help Shayden make some friends ” he wrote in the video.
Shayden’s mother, Krishna Patterson, says her son has trouble connecting with others. He has suffered a lot, including autism, bipolar disorder, ADHD and others.
After the video became very popular on the Internet, Brennan and his wife, Angel, were encouraged by viewers. They raised more than $37,000. The couple shared that on TikTok.
Since Shayden became TikTok famous, he has made friends all over the world, including from Hawaii, China, Australia and England.
Brennan and Angel continue to post more on the once-lonely boy who is now enjoying his newfound friendships.
The couple and their daughter recently met Shayden for the first time. “He had the same energy in person as he did over the doorbell camera,” Brennan said. Brennan says it’s important to give everyone a chance because you never know what people are fighting against. “He is a beautiful soul,” he said. “His happiness is infectious and his smile is infectious. He’s a good kid.”

The amount of plastic pollution in the oceans is rapidly increasing. This is problematic, as at least 700 species of sea animals — including sharks, whales seabirds and turtles — can be trapped in the stuff or mistake it for a tasty snack. While we know that some species seem to eat plastic because it looks like jellyfish or some other food source, less research has been carried out into what sea plastic smells like to sea animals.
But now, a study from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill has found that the coating of algae and microbes (藻类、微生物) that naturally builds up on ocean plastics causes the rubbish to give off the smell of food.
The researchers took 15 healthy turtles, each around five months old and placed them in a laboratory aquarium (水族箱). They then piped in clean water, clean plastic, turtle food, and plastic that had been down in the sea environment for five weeks. The turtles showed no reaction to the smell of clean water or clean plastic. But when they were exposed to the smells of ocean plastic or turtle food, they exhibited hunting behaviour — like sticking their noses out of the water and showing increased activity.
“This finding is important because it’s the first demonstration that the smell of ocean plastics causes animals to eat them,” said Dr Kenneth J Lohmann, who took part in the study.
“It’s common to find the sea turtles with their digestive systems fully or partially blocked because they’ve eaten plastic materials There also are increasing reports of sea turtles that have been ill and stranded on the beach due to their swallow of plastic.”
“Once these plastics are in the ocean we don’t have a good way to remove them or prevent them from smelling like food” said Lohmann. “The best thing we can do is to keep plastic from getting into the ocean at all.”
8. What does the new research mainly focus on
A. What has caused the sea plastic pollution.
B. What sea plastic smells like to sea animals.
C. How dangerous the sea environment is.
D. How dangerous the sea plastic pollution is.
9. What can we infer from the experiment
A. The turtles of 5 months old are the most healthy ones.
B. The turtles prefer dirty environments to clean ones.
C. The clean plastic has no certain smell to attract turtles.
D. The clean plastic is more dangerous than the ocean plastic.
10. Which of the following words can best replace the underlined word in Para 5
A. trapped B. rescued C. harmed D. treated
11 What is the title of the passage
A. Sea turtles and sea environment B. Sea turtles and their enemies
C. Sea turtles and sea food chain D. Sea turtles and sea plastics

Most of us have too much stuff.
People with untidy, messy rooms have untidy minds and they feel stressed, finding it hard to relax. ____13____ There is no doubt that too much stuff is bad for us and we have to change.

____16____ Consider this simple rule: if you don’t use something for longer than 6 months, get rid of it. You have to regularly tidy and sort all the stuff out in your room. After tidying, you’ll have much room in your closet and drawer. Your parents don’t say “You must tidy your room!” any more! Your room will look more large and bright, making you feel free and comfortable!
A. This makes them feel unhappy.
B. In fact, they enjoy their messy home.
C. Of course the answer is that you don’t.
D. They want to live with only important things.

She quickly packed a suitcase with a few pieces of clothing, her diary, and her most prized treasure, a silk scarf. Scout and her best friend, Betty, had persuaded their parents to buy them matching scarves, which they took as a symbol of their friendship. Scout didn’t know she was going to America and would not be returning.
Scout kept that special silk scarf for many years. One day she decided to give it to her granddaughter, Eliza, to wear to her first job interview for good luck. Scout was afraid that Eliza would lose the scarf, but the granddaughter promised, “Don’t worry, Grandma. Nothing’s going to happen to your scarf. You’ll see that it’s going to bring both of us luck.” And with that, Eliza kissed her grandmother and left for the interview.
Leaving the interview, Eliza felt confident that she had got the job so she decided to celebrate by going to a restaurant. Sitting at her table, Eliza felt an elderly woman staring at her for a long time.
“I’m sorry. Do I know you ” Eliza asked.
“I’m sorry, dear, but you remind me of my best friend,” the old woman replied. “She looked like you and used to wear a scarf just like yours.” Eliza listened carefully, with her eyes and mouth wide open.

This sport might look like a fun and easy thing, but it’s not nicknamed “tombstoning” for nothing.
1. Which of the following sports venues can also be used for other purposes
A. Burj AI Arab. B. Camp Bonifas.
C. Blue Hole. D. Ponte Brolla.
2. What can we infer about Camp Bonifas
A. It used to be a battlefield.

D. It’s as dangerous as Hawaii golf courses.
3. What do Blue Hole and Ponte Brolla have in common
A. They both don’t look dangerous. B. They both attract divers.
C. They are located in the same place. D. They have many deaths every year.
【答案】1. A 2. C 3. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。主要介绍了四个旅行时可以体验的极限运动。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据 Burj AI Arab, Dubai部分的最后一句话“The tennis court is circular in shape and when no session is at play, it doubles as a helipad (直升机场).(网球场是圆形的，当不进行比赛时，它可以兼作直升机停机坪。)”可知，这个高尔夫球场在平时没有安排比赛活动时可以用作直升机场。所以选A。
【2题详解】
推理判断题。根据Camp Bonifas, South Korea部分的“When they built the course they realized that they wouldn’t be able to fit 18 holes in the camp, so they decided to build a 1-hole golf course surrounded by LIVE minefields (布雷区) on three sides.(当他们建造球场时，他们意识到营地无法容纳18个洞，所以他们决定建造一个三面被布雷区包围的1洞高尔夫球场。)”可知，建造球场时，在营地内不能容纳18个洞，所以建造了一个三面被布雷区包围的1洞高尔夫球场，由此可知，这个球场比普通球场小。所以选C。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据Blue Hole, Egypt 部分中的“It is known as the most dangerous diving spot because of the large number of deaths that have occurred from people diving in the hole.(它被称为最危险的潜水点，因为很多人在这个洞里潜水时死亡。)”可知，Blue Hole作为最危险的潜水地而闻名，根据Ponte Brolla, Switzerland 部分中的“Ponte Brolla is famous as one of the most famous, extreme and dangerous cliff diving, or “tombstoning” spots in the world.( Ponte Brolla是世界上最著名、最极端、最危险的悬崖跳水或“墓碑”景点之一。)”可知，Ponte Brolla作为作著名的极限悬崖跳水而世界闻名，由此可知，这两个场所都是潜水或跳水场所，所以会吸引一些潜水或跳水爱好者。故选B项。
B

The amount of plastic pollution in the oceans is rapidly increasing. This is problematic, as at least 700 species of sea animals — including sharks, whales seabirds and turtles — can be trapped in the stuff or mistake it for a tasty snack. While we know that some species seem to eat plastic because it looks like jellyfish or some other food source, less research has been carried out into what sea plastic smells like to sea animals.
But now, a study from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill has found that the coating of algae and microbes (藻类、微生物) that naturally builds up on ocean plastics causes the rubbish to give off the smell of food.
The researchers took 15 healthy turtles, each around five months old and placed them in a laboratory aquarium (水族箱). They then piped in clean water, clean plastic, turtle food, and plastic that had been down in the sea environment for five weeks. The turtles showed no reaction to the smell of clean water or clean plastic. But when they were exposed to the smells of ocean plastic or turtle food, they exhibited hunting behaviour — like sticking their noses out of the water and showing increased activity.
“This finding is important because it’s the first demonstration that the smell of ocean plastics causes animals to eat them,” said Dr Kenneth J Lohmann, who took part in the study.
“It’s common to find the sea turtles with their digestive systems fully or partially blocked because they’ve eaten plastic materials There also are increasing reports of sea turtles that have been ill and stranded on the beach due to their swallow of plastic.”
“Once these plastics are in the ocean we don’t have a good way to remove them or prevent them from smelling like food” said Lohmann. “The best thing we can do is to keep plastic from getting into the ocean at all.”
8. What does the new research mainly focus on
A. What has caused the sea plastic pollution.
B. What sea plastic smells like to sea animals.
C. How dangerous the sea environment is.
D. How dangerous the sea plastic pollution is.
9. What can we infer from the experiment
A. The turtles of 5 months old are the most healthy ones.
B. The turtles prefer dirty environments to clean ones.
C. The clean plastic has no certain smell to attract turtles.
D. The clean plastic is more dangerous than the ocean plastic.
10. Which of the following words can best replace the underlined word in Para 5
A. trapped B. rescued C. harmed D. treated
11. What is the title of the passage
A. Sea turtles and sea environment B. Sea turtles and their enemies
C. Sea turtles and sea food chain D. Sea turtles and sea plastics
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要分析了海洋动物吃海洋塑料的原因。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第一段中“While we know that some species seem to eat plastic because it looks like jellyfish or some other food source, less research has been carried out into what sea plastic smells like to sea animals.(虽然我们知道一些物种似乎吃塑料，因为它看起来像水母或其他食物来源，但很少有研究对海洋动物来说海洋塑料闻起来像什么。)”可知，新的研究主要集中在海洋塑料对海洋动物来说是什么味道。故选B。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第三段中“The researchers took 15 healthy turtles, each around five months old and placed them in a laboratory aquarium (水族箱). They then piped in clean water, clean plastic, turtle food, and plastic that had been down in the sea environment for five weeks. The turtles showed no reaction to the smell of clean water or clean plastic. But when they were exposed to the smells of ocean plastic or turtle food, they exhibited hunting behaviour — like sticking their noses out of the water and showing increased activity.(研究人员选取了15只健康的海龟，每只大约5个月大，并将它们放在实验室水族箱中。然后，他们用管道输送干净的水、干净的塑料、海龟食物和在海洋环境中已经存在了五周的塑料。海龟对干净的水或干净的塑料的气味没有反应。但当它们暴露在海洋塑料或海龟食物的气味中时，它们就会表现出狩猎行为——比如把鼻子伸出水面，并表现出更多的活动。)”可知，这种干净的塑料没有一定的气味来吸引海龟，故选C，其余选项没有提及。故选C。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。由文章第五段中“It’s common to find the sea turtles with their digestive systems fully or partially blocked because they’ve eaten plastic materials There also are increasing reports of sea turtles that have been ill and stranded on the beach due to their swallow of plastic.”(发现海龟的消化系统完全或部分堵塞是很常见的，因为它们吃了塑料材料。也有越来越多的报道称，海龟因为吞下塑料而生病并stranded在海滩上。)”可知，海龟因为吞下塑料生病，被困在沙滩上。A. trapped被困；B. rescued获救；C. harmed受伤；D.treated治疗。结合选项可知，选项A符合题意。故选A。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。 根据第二段的“But now, a study from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill has found that the coating of algae and microbes (藻类、微生物) that naturally builds up on ocean plastics causes the rubbish to give off the smell of food.(但现在，北卡罗来纳大学教堂山分校的一项研究发现，在塑料表面自然堆积的藻类和微生物涂层会导致垃圾散发出食物的气味)”，及全文可知，文章向读者介绍了一项实验研究结果，海洋塑料对海龟来说会散发出食物的味道，即海龟和海洋塑料的关系。故选D。

____16____ Consider this simple rule: if you don’t use something for longer than 6 months, get rid of it. You have to regularly tidy and sort all the stuff out in your room. After tidying, you’ll have much room in your closet and drawer. Your parents don’t say “You must tidy your room!” any more!

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了身体语言的重要性和一些身体语言动作的意义，其中有些动作在世界各地是通用的，比如微笑表示快乐，点头表示同意，摇头表示拒绝；有些动作则因文化差异而不同，比如不同文化的问候方式。因此，我们需要学习国际习惯，以避免误解。
【52题详解】
考查名词。句意：肢体语言是最强大的交流手段之一，它利用我们身体的动作来表达我们的感受和想法。句中one of+形容词最高级+名词复数为固定短语，以为“最……的……中之一”。此处mean为可数名词，意为“方式，手段”，此处表示复数意义。故填means。
【53题详解】
考查冠词。句意：有些肢体语言在全世界都是一样的。句中the same为固定短语，意为“相同的 ”。故填the。
【54题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：例如，微笑表示快乐，使人放松，上下点头表示同意，左右摇头表示拒绝。分析句子，句中is为谓语动词，故nod使用非谓语动词，此处使用动名词作主语。故填nodding。
【55题详解】
考查动词。句意：同上。分析句子，设空处使用动词，根据前文的is以及句意可知，句子表述客观事实，故使用一般现在时。句子的主语为shaking the head，动名词作主语，谓语动词用单数。故填suggests。
【56题详解】
考查副词。句意：然而，其他人则完全不同。分析句子，设空处使用副词作状语。根据句意，此处表示转折关系用however或者nevertheless。同时该空置于句首，开头单词首字母大写。故填However/Nevertheless。
【57题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：英国人通常不会站得离别人很近，而加拿大人则会靠近别人，更有可能触摸别人。句中be likely to do为固定短语，意为“有可能去做某事”。故填to touch。
【58题详解】
考查介词。句意：现在大多数人以握手的方式打招呼，但有些文化也使用其他的问候方式，比如日本人，他们更喜欢鞠躬。句中shake hands with sb为固定短语，意为“和某人握手”。故填with。
【59题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：同上。分析句子，设空处引导的是非限制性定语从句，引导词在从句中作主语，修饰先行词Japanese，为人，故使用who。故填who。
【60题详解】
考查副词。句意：一般而言，我们应该学习国际惯例以避免误解。分析句子，设空处使用副词作状语，generally speaking为固定短语，意为“一般而言”。同时该空置于句首，开头单词首字母大写。故填Generally。
【61题详解】
考查名词。句意：同上。分析句子，设空处使用misunderstand的名词misunderstanding作宾语，意为“误解”，其既为可数名词，也是不可数名词，当作为可数名词时，句中表示复数意义，用misunderstandings。故填misunderstanding/misunderstandings。
第四部分 写作(共两节，满分25分)
62. 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。
Scout could clearly remember the night she had to leave her home in Poland. It was the beginning of World War II and her family had to escape as soon as possible. She quickly packed a suitcase with a few pieces of clothing, her diary, and her most prized treasure, a silk scarf. Scout and her best friend, Betty, had persuaded their parents to buy them matching scarves, which they took as a symbol of their friendship. Scout didn’t know she was going to America and would not be returning.
Scout kept that special silk scarf for many years. One day she decided to give it to her granddaughter, Eliza, to wear to her first job interview for good luck. Scout was afraid that Eliza would lose the scarf, but the granddaughter promised, “Don’t worry, Grandma. Nothing’s going to happen to your scarf. You’ll see that it’s going to bring both of us luck.” And with that, Eliza kissed her grandmother and left for the interview.
Leaving the interview, Eliza felt confident that she had got the job so she decided to celebrate by going to a restaurant. Sitting at her table, Eliza felt an elderly woman staring at her for a long time.
“I’m sorry. Do I know you ” Eliza asked.
“I’m sorry, dear, but you remind me of my best friend,” the old woman replied. “She looked like you and used to wear a scarf just like yours.” Eliza listened carefully, with her eyes and mouth wide open. She had heard stories of her grandmother’s best friend and knew the meaning of the scarf. Could this woman be Betty, her grandmother’s childhood friend

Paragraph 2:
The old woman agreed.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Then the old woman introduced herself, “My name is Betty. I’m originally from Poland, but left there when I was thirteen. And I have been living here in Washington DC in America ever since.” Eliza could not believe it, stories of her grandmother’s best friend floating into her mind. Assuming that the old woman must be her grandmother’s best friend, she said, “Betty, would you mind coming with me right now I need to show you somebody.”
The old woman agreed. Soon they left the restaurant after a quick dinner. On the way, Betty felt her heart was thumping with excitement. She couldn’t wait to see her long-lost friend. Arriving at Scout’s home, Betty eagerly rang the door bell. The moment Scout opened the door, she was rooted to the ground due to the amazement at seeing her childhood friend standing in front of her. Both of them were in tears, hugging each other tightly. Time seemed to cease to witness the great moment.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Scout和Betty从小是好朋友，但是因为战争原因 Scout必须举家搬去美国，因此她们请求父母给他们买一对围巾作为友谊的象征，自此以后她们不再见面，但是依然保存着围巾，直到一天 Scout的孙女带着她的围巾在餐馆的时候，遇到了Betty，Betty认出围巾，由此Scout和Betty通过丝绸围巾最终重逢。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“然后老太太自我介绍说：“我的名字叫Betty。”可知，第一段这个老夫人作了自我介绍。所以应该写：Betty讲述自己为什么也来到了美国，以及Eliza告诉她要带她去见一个人。
②由第二段首句内容“这个老太太同意了。”可知，第二段可描写Betty跟着Eliza去了她的家，见到了童年时的朋友，两人非常激动，不敢相信。
