一、阅读理解
Traveling by train can be a romantic way to see the world. Since it was one of the original forms of transportation worldwide, here are some fantastic train trips to add to your travel list.
Qinghai-Tibet Railway
Where it goes: Xining to Lhasa
Why not start with the world's highest train ride The Qinghai-Tiber Railway climbs to great heights of over 16,0000 feet as it snakes trough the Himalayas. The wonderful 1215-mile journey only makes seven stops.
Eurostar
Where it goes: London to/from Paris
Eurostar is a popular way for folks to get from London to Paris, thanks to its quick travel time, but it has another attraction that makes it a great train trip. For 20 minutes, you will actually be riding 150 feet underwater through the famous English Channel.
Trans-Siberian Railway
Where it goes: Moscow to Vladivostok
The Trans-Siberian Railway is another historically famous railroad that should be on your travel list. It is also the world's longest continuous railway. Along the way, you will pass through eight time zones and have plenty of time to see the beautiful Russian countryside.
Glacier Express
Where it goes: St. Moritz to Zermatt in the Swiss Alps
This train ride is a favorite among many, as it's arguably the best way to experience the Swiss Alps. It's much more about the journey than the destination, and it gives new meaning to the term slow travel, taking over seven hours to pass just 180 miles.

Levi Lamb is a teenager with a big heart and an eggcellent idea that has enabled him to help people who are homeless. The 12-year-old North Beach resident has developed his own farm fresh egg delivery business servicing northern suburb residents on a fortnightly (两周一次的) basis. And in the alternate weeks when Levi doesn’t deliver eggs, he and his customers work together to help people who are homeless by running food charity. “In the weeks I don’t deliver egg we connect with my community and collect cup of soups,spaghetti and my eggs, of course, and we give the food to people experiencing homelessness.” he said.
Since starting the business in January, Levi’s Eggs has gained a fantastic reach online and has proven a cracking business for the young man. The Carine High School student developed the business to get some extra pocket money and stared selling fresh es to family members before advertising the unique delivery service on Facebook.
Levi’s goal was to make enough money to make the business profitable (赢利的), which he said he had achieved but jokingly would not give away the fact how many customers he had. “It varies each fortnight, but a good business man never counts his chickens before they hatch,” he said. “My eggs are only two to three days old when I deliver them; we ensure that we collect the eggs direct off the truck and deliver them to my customers’ door the same day,” he said.

5、What else does Levi lamb do besides delivering eggs

7、What is the purpose of writing the passage
A. To inspire more people to join in selling eggs.
B. To share the story of a boy with readers.
C. To attract more people to buy eggs.
D. To stress the importance of help in life.
Languages have been coming and going for thousands of years, but in recent times there has been less coming and a lot more going. When the world was still populated by hunter-gatherers, small, tightly knit(联系) groups developed their own patterns of speech independent of each other. Some language experts believe that 10,000 years ago, when the world had just five to ten million people, they spoke perhaps 12,000 languages between them.
Soon afterwards, many of those people started settling down to become farmers, and their languages too became more settled and fewer in number. In recent centuries, trade, industrialization, the development of the nation-state and the spread of universal compulsory education, especially globalisation and better communications in the past few decades, all have caused many languages to disappear, and dominant languages such as English, Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over.
At present, the world has about 6,800 languages. The distribution of these languages is hugely uneven. The general rule is that mild zones have relatively few languages. Often spoken by many people while hot, wet zones have lots, often spoken by small numbers. Europe has only around 200 Languages: the Americas about 1,000, Africa 2,400; and Asia and the Pacific perhaps 3,200, of which Papua New Guinea alone accounts for well over 800. The median number(中位数) of speakers is a mere 6，000, which means that half the worlds languages are spoken by fewer people than that.
Already well over 400 of the total of 6,800 languages are close to extinction(消亡), with only a few elderly speakers left. Pick, at random, Busuu in Cameroon (eight remaining speakers), Chiapaneco in Mexico(150). Lipan Apache in the United States(two or three) or Wadjigu in Australia (one, with a question-mark): none of these seems to have much chance of survival.
8、What can we infer about languages in hunter-gatherer times
A. They developed very fast. B. They were large in number.
C. They had similar patters. D. They were closely connected
9、Which of the following best explains "dominant" underlined in paragraph 2？
A. Complex. B. Advanced. C. Powerful. D. Modern.
10、How many languages are spoken by less than 6, 000 people at present
A. About 6,800 . B. About 3,400 C. About 2,400 D. About 1,200.
11、What is the main idea of the text
A. New languages will be created.
B. Peoples lifestyles are reflected in languages.
C. Human development results in fewer languages.
D. Geography determines language evolution.
When did you last write a letter Properly write one — by hand In a digital world, sending a text or email is far more convenient than using traditional mail. Well, some people claim that writing still has many benefits, so maybe it’s not time to throw away your ballpoint (圆珠笔) or fountain pen yet.
These days, when people request things in writing, a typed, electronic document will be accepted. Doing this on a computer means it could be saved, edited, copied and sent via email. But doing a handwritten document is unique: it requires planning and thought, and, as well as practicing your handwriting, it helps you to remember selling and punctuation.
Some experts believe your brain benefits from using old-fashioned pen and paper. This is particularly related to students, because typing notes into a laptop is thought to lack the “tactile feedback” (触觉回馈) to the brain. They think taking note by hand involve cognitive engagement (认知参与) in summarizing, paraphrasing organizing, concept and vocabulary mapping. They also agree that handwriting may improve fine movement skills in your hands and fingers.
There are everyday benefits to using pen and paper too. Writing notes, shopping lists or messages on the back of an envelope can still be useful, quick and convenient. But putting pen to paper in a letter to a friend or loved one can probably have the most influence. Pen pal writer Katherine Moller told the BBC: “In a world where it is so easy to get online email or to send a fast text, it is so personal and so precious to know someone choose to turn off the virtual world to spend some time with you.”
So, while digital skills remain important, don’t get rid of your pens and pencils yet — especially if your smartphone, tablet or laptop runs out of power!
12、Two questions are asked in paragraph 1 to ________.
A. offer background information B. ask for opinions
C. show disagreement D. lead to the topic
13、Why is doing a handwritten document special
A. Because it involves planning, thought and handwriting.
B. Because it creates spelling and punctuation.
C. Because it does harm to hands and fingers.
D. Because it helps the brain recover from disease.
14、What can be inferred from paragraph 4
A. There are everyday benefits to using pen and paper.
B. Writing a letter by hand can be a touching and valuable experience.
C. It is not easy to email or to send a fast text today.
D. People are supposed to turn off the virtual world.
15、What’s the author’s attitude towards writing by hand
A. Neutral. B. Negative. C. Supportive. D. Indifferent.
二、七选五
16、Benefits of Reading
The benefits of reading start with the first book a baby hears and continue into childhood and throughout the child's life. Here are some reasons why reading is important.
Reading teaches children about the world around them.① _____They are exposed to ways of life, ideas and beliefs about the world which may be different from those which surround them. This builds a store of background knowledge, which helps younger children learn to read confidently.
②______When we read, our brains translate the descriptions we read of people, places and things into pictures. When we are reading a story, we are also imagining how the characters are feeling. We use our own experiences to imagine how we would feel in the same situation
Children who read do better at school. And they don't just do better at subjects like reading, English and history. ③______
Reading is a great form of entertainment! A paperback book or an e-reader doesn't take up much space so you can take it anywhere and you'll never be lonely or bored if you have a book in your bag. ④______
Reading relaxes the body and calms the mind. ⑤______The constant movement, flashing lights and noise are quite stressful for our brains. When we read in silence, the black print on a white page is much less stressful for our eyes and brains.
A. Reading improves concentration.
B. Reading develops a child's imagination.
C. We seem to have forgotten how to relax and how to be silent.
D. Children learn new words and greatly enlarge their vocabulary.
E. They do better at all subjects and they do better all the day through school.

Mr.Brown was extremely sad, but he didn't lose hope. He went into business and was engaged in business deals around the world in the hope that he might find his son someday.
One day, while he was having lunch at a restaurant. He saw a suitcase under his table. "Someone who was eating here must have forgotten to take it with him," he said to himself. Though he didn't know what was inside the suitcase, he thought it might be something important to its owner. Then he thought of his son. In the past years after losing his son, he missed him so much that he often had trouble falling asleep at night. He knew the pain brought by losing something important, so he decided to wait for the owner.
However, after he finished his lunch, he saw no one come back for it. Luckily, no one came to him to ask him to pay the bill, so he decided to stay there. But several hours later, a waitress came to him. "Sir, sorry to disturb you. But you finished your meal almost two hours ago. Have you forgotten to take your wallet If so you don't have to pay today," said the waitress. Mr. Brown was a bit touched hearing that. He immediately said, "No, I have my wallet with me. I'll pay immediately. It's just that someone has left his suitcase here. I'm waiting for the owner. The waitress looked down and saw the suitcase by Mr. Brown.
"That' s very kind of you. But I think I can help. I know who ate here before you. I'll call the man and ask him to come back and get it," said the waitress.

Mr. Brown thought it was a good idea and agreed.

⑤句意为:……“许多父母都是‘木匠型’父母,教养孩子对他们来说很必要”此处为“it is+形容词+for sb+to do sth”句型,意为“对某人来说,做某事是……的”,其中,it作形式主语。
⑥句意为:她花了几十年的时间研究儿童的成长并发现父母往往过于关注孩子长大后成为什么样的人设空处为句子的谓语,与spent为并列关系,此处应用一般过去时,故填found。
⑦句意为:这样做的危害是父母以及他们的子女可能会变得焦虑、紧张或不开心设空处作become的表语,与tense及unhappy为并列关系,故填anxious。
⑧句意为:她说:“我们认为我们的孩子很难掌控其未来,我们忧心忡忡,以至于不愿让他们自由地探索世界”分析句子结构可知,设空处引导定语从句,先行词是our children,指人,关系词在从句中作主语,故用who或that引导该从句此处we think是插入语。
⑨句意见上一题解析设空处修饰动词explore,应用副词,意为“自由地”,故填freely。
⑩句意为:事实上,父母对结果担心越少,他们的孩子就越可能生活得更好 此处为“the +比较级..,the +比较级…”结构,意为“越……越……”。故填less。

Dear Sir or Madam,
I’m Li Hua, a student from China learning English in London. Now, I’m writing to be one of you to protect wild animals.
As we know, the number of wild animals is decreasing owing to losing their habitats or being hunted and killed. And I really want to do something for them.
Having been a member of the local wildlife protection association for years, I’m familiar with what wild animal protection is about. So I think I can become a good volunteer.
Looking forward to your early reply.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
