A
Best little parks in Brisbane
Brisbane has a number of great little parks in which you can travel around for hours and do all kinds of activities. Here are four of the best little parks I have discovered.
Frew Park
You can't miss Frew Park as you drive along Milton Road in Milton. It has a nice new set of tennis courts(球场)that are generally busy on the weekend. It also attracts people at night: especially over summer. The Arena Playground is designed for kids aged 10-15.
Wilson Outlook Reserve
The park has the best view in Brisbane. Whenever you see those beautiful photos of Brisbane, you'll find they are taken from Wilson Outlook Reserve. On any day in the early evening you will find a number of people with cameras taking their perfect Brisbane photos.
Bowen Bridge Heritage Trail
This is basically a small part of the Enoggera Creek Bikeway between Downey and Edmund Streets. Entering this part of the trail(小路)is like entering a special little world. First of all, you enter the park through a wooden gate. The part of the trail is covered over by hanging tree branches(树枝)and has several little art and design works, along with some historical information about Bowen Bridge.
Burnie Brae Park
The central area of the park is an open green space. Most mornings you will find joggers and walkers in the park. There is very good exercise equipment(设施)around the park. There are also two small play areas for kids. Dog lovers will find a small but well-designed dog park.
21．What do Frew Park and Burnie Brae Park have in common
A．They have tennis courts. B．They have special areas for kids.
C．They have places for dog lovers. D．They have all kinds of sports equipment.
22．In which park can people take good pictures of Brisbane
A．Frew Park. B．Burnie Brae Park.
C．Wilson Outlook Reserve. D．Bowen Bridge Heritage Trail.
23．What can people do in Bowen Bridge Heritage Trail
A．Look at different foreign trees. B．Plant trees near the wooden gate.
C．Buy artworks about Bowen Bridge. D．Learn about the history of Bowen Bridge.
B
Pop stars have traditionally not come from the upper classes of society. Eminem grew up on a trailer (活动住屋) park. 50 Cent is from the dangerous shelters of New York. The Beatles grew up in the poor city of Liverpool.
However, some musicians have come from the army. Elvis Presley, the King of Rock and Roll, served with the American Army in Germany while Jimi Hendrix was in the parachute regiment (伞兵团). Following in that tradition comes a British hit, James Blunt. His single, You’re Beautiful, was a huge success, and his concerts have sold out all over the country.
James Blunt, born on February 22, 1977, comes from a family with a long tradition of military service. His early life was not filled with music. His army officer father thought all music, even classical, was unnecessary noise. His life seemed certain to follow that of his father’s before him—private schools, a good university and a career as an officer in the British Army. The thought of pursuing a career in music had never occurred to him until he witnessed an older boy playing an electric guitar at age 14. When he was sent to Kosovo in 1999, he didn’t just take his gun he also took his guitar, attached to the side of his tank. As he drove through villages damaged by the war, he used to sing the John Lennon song Give Peace a Chance. “Well,” he later said, “we were peacekeepers.”
In 2003 he left the army and went to Los Angeles to make a record. In 2004, his first album Back to Bedlam was released, and the singles High, Wise Men and You’re Beautiful have been great successes. For the singing soldier, putting down a gun for a guitar has been a good choice.
24．What do Elvis Presley and James Blunt have in common
A．They were from upper social classes. B．They were kings of Rockand Roll.
C．They rose to fame in Britain. D．They used to serve in the army.
25．What made James Blunt take up music
A．His father’s support. B．The Beatles’ influence.
C．A guitar performance. D．Family tradition of music.
26．What is James Blunt’ s first album
A．Back to Bedlam. B．Give Peace a Chance.
C．High, Wise Men. D．You’re Beautiful.
27．What is the last paragraph mainly about
A．Blunt’s journey to the US. B．Blunt’s success as a singer.
C．Blunt’s practice of singing. D．Blunt’s best-selling records.
C
Alida Monaco doesn't spend her summers doing the usual teenage work ,like working at the mall. Instead ,she's studying.
It used to be that a summer job was considered a teenage thing. Today ,Monaco ,who has never had a summer job ,is part of growing trend(趋势) teenagers concentrating on their studies ,even during the summer. That's down from 72% of Americans aged 16 to 19 who worked in July of 1978 ,according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Fierce competition (竞争) older workers to the workforce and weak economic（经济的）growth are all adding to the decrease of teenagers in the workforce. But as schoolwork grows increasingly heavy and homework eats up more time ,current data suggests the biggest reason why some teens won't be working this summer is that they simply don't have time.
For college-bond teens ,some teachers even advise students no t to waste time on a summer job. " Some of my students only have about six weeks off in the summer ,"said Shannon Reed ,a lecturer at the University of Pittsburgh and a former high school English teacher. " I could never advise that they got jobs during that short break. They should rest. "
Young people who don't work may miss out on valuable skills that they'll need later in life. Early work experiences teach reliability ,financial intelligence ,self-control and help people learn to deal with adult situations. But Monaco ,who plans to attend Harvard ,isn't fazed by her lack of work experience. " May be I have missed out on a couple of life skills , she said. " But I don't think it will harm in any way. "
28．What is the trend of American teenagers
A．They are becoming lazy.
B．They are becoming interested in doing holiday jobs.
C．They are focusing more on studies than on jobs.
D．They are becoming particular（挑剔的）about holiday jobs.
29．What is the third paragraph mainly about
A．The reasons for teenagers giving up work.
B．The fierce competition teenagers face.
C．The structure of American workforce.
D．The effects of American's weak economy.
30．What's Shannon Reed's attitude towards the new trend
A．Uncaring B．Favorable（赞成的） C．Worried D．Doubtful
31．What does the underlined word " fazed" in his last paragraph mean
A．Motivated. B．Helped
C．Bothered (烦扰). D．annoyed
D
It's hard to turn down hamburgers, french fries, potato chips and all of the other junk food that seem to call out to us. However, eating too much junk food can harm your body, particularly if you're between the ages of 10 and 19.
"Junk food shapes adolescent brains in ways that harm their ability to think, learn and remember. It can also make it harder to control impulsive（冲动的）behaviors, "said Amy Reichelt, a brain specialist at Western University, Canada. "It may even up a teen's risk of depression and anxiety. "
Reichelt and two other researchers reviewed more than 100 studies, including their own, about how poor food choices can impact adolescent brains. They found adolescents are more sensitive than any other age group to processed foods with a lot of fat and sugar as their brains are not yet fully formed. Adolescent brains are still developing the ability to assess risks and control actions. The prefrontal cortex（前额皮质）is the part of the brain that tells us we shouldn't eat chips all the time and helps us resist that urge. However, this region is the last to mature—it doesn't fully develop until we are in our early 20s.
In fact, these regions are even more sensitive when we are young. That's because dopamine, a natural chemical that lifts our mood when we experience something good, is especially active in adolescent brains. Therefore, the teen brain has two strikes against it when it comes to resisting junk food. "It has a heightened drive for rewards and reduced self-regulation, "said Reichelt.
Reichelt and her team conducted their own study using mice, whose brains develop much like our own. They discovered that the"teenage" mice that had a high-fat diet performed worse on memory tests than those eating a normal diet. Researchers said the high-fat diet may make the mice's prefrontal cortex work less effectively.
So, what's the best way to say no to junk food Researchers suggest exercise. When we exercise, the brain's reward system becomes less sensitive to food cues. Exercise also makes the body to create a protein that helps brain cells grow and boosts connections between the prefrontal cortex and other brain regions. The prefrontal cortex thus can work better to help us make wise decisions and control our impulses.
32．What's the Amy Reichelt's opinion on junk food
A．Junk food is harmless for adult.
B．Junk food affects both teens' body and brain.
C．Junk food is more attractive to adults than teens.
D．Junk food has nutrients and does good to teens.
33．Why do adolescents more like junk food than adults in Reichelt's view
A．Because their brains are not yet fully formed.
B．Because junk food contains a lot of fat and sugar.
C．Because they know junk food is more nutritious.
D．Because it is popular among young people.
34．What conclusion did Reichelt draw from the experiment on the mice
A．High-fat diet makes prefrontal cortex of mice more excited.
B．The "teenage" mice are fatter than "adult" mice.
C．Junk food may make the "teenage" mice more active.
D．Junk food is harmful for memory.
35．What should adolescents do to refuse junk food according to the passage
A．To work out regularly. B．To eat food containing no fat.
C．To keep away from food made of potatoes. D．To eat more fruit and vegetables.
第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
School can be tough. Having a group or a few select friends there can make the entire experience more worthwhile. Making great friends in school can seem difficult for many people. 36
Be friendly and approachable. Using positive body language will make people more likely to talk to you. 37 Try to avoid crossing your arms over your chest and looking closed off. The more open and friendly you look, the more people will want to get to know you. Smile when you pass people in the hall or make eye contact in the cafeteria.
38 You can join a club, go to school, or go to church, but you still won’t make friends if you don't actually talk to people. Any time you talk to someone, you have a chance at making a lasting friend. Don't worry about saying anything special—just open a conversation by saying something friendly like “Good morning, how are you ”.
Be reliable. When you say you’ll do something, do it. Be someone that people know that they can rely on. 39 If you're not going to make it on time or make it at all, call them as soon as you realize it. Apologize and ask to reschedule.
Be a good listener. Improving your listening skills can significantly influence how great a friend you can be. Showing that you are willing to share the talking time makes the other person feel respected and valued. When you're listening, focus on what the other person is saying instead of planning what you want to say next. 40
A．Look for opportunities to talk to people.
B．Join an organization or club to meet new people.
C．Stand up straight, make eye contact with people, and smile!
D．If you and your friend agree to meet somewhere, don’t be late.
E．However, the following tips will help you to make more friends.
F．People enjoy talking about themselves and about how great they are or look.
G．Avoid interrupting, and try not to offer advice unless your friend asks for it.

Our friendship can be traced back to our college days when I first met Rishi. We had our own share of first impression about each other. Mine was—she’s a lovely and charming personality. Hers was—I look like an arrogant (傲慢的) personality. I don’t blame her for this. Many of my close friends had the same view when they first met me. Blame it on me being a shy person to some extent.
We became really close within a short period of time. Ours was a group of four people divided into 2 each during our final year when we both chose advertising as our specialisation and the other two journalism. Back then, I was a regular user of BBM Messenger and hardly used WhatsApp.
On one specific occasion, we had really bad argument about a failed project. The usual blame game was on. We decided to put it past us and focus on our studies. During this time, she once handed me her phone to show me a picture. While I was going through that, I came across a message from a particular WhatsApp group that comprises of her and my other two friends. I asked her permission to view the group. She had a blank expression on her face. But she allowed me to go ahead.
I was in shock while going through their messages. Not really positive things were said about me in particular. It shook me. Because these were the people I considered my friends. I broke down in front of her. She apologised. But I felt cheated on. I told her about my decision of not wanting to continue this friendship further. We both missed each other. But neither of us wanted to give the last try.

66． Hello, my name is Lisa. I am from China. Today I’d like to talk about something about learning English. English is the most widely used language in the world. In my opinion, learning English is very fun becuase it offers us a fantastic opportunity to understand different cultures.
We can take a variety of steps to make English learning interesting instead of just memorizing words and learning grammar. If you like music, learning English songs will be a good way and it can combine your hobby with English. If you like movies, don’t miss English movies.
Not only does learning English expand my horizon, but also it makes me more confident and open-minded.
67．Then came our official last trip. I hanged out with my other friends while she with the other two girls. I wasn’t enjoying this trip at all, which she could make out. When she saw me approaching the washroom, she followed me in and opened the door. I didn’t know how to react. She gave me a tight hug and broke down. My tears were also out of control. We knew we both wanted to be in each other’s company. We promised to grow mature and let it not affect our friendship.
It’s been almost 7 years after graduation since we picked up our friendship. She’s one of the few people I really count on in my life. She’s been with me through all my struggles, helping me constantly to grow into a better individual. So have I. The only learning from our relationship is—if someone is meant to be in your life, they will ensure they stay around some way or the other. Willingness to keep a relationship should come from both the sides.

A new era of AI (artificial intelligence) is coming. AI has made its way into a variety of industries, which benefits both businesses and consumers. More and more companies have used it in their products, such as AlphaGo, self-driving, facial recognition, online assistants and so on. Generally, there are two types of AI: weak AI and strong AI. Weak AI is an AI system that is designed and trained to complete a specific task. For example, Apple’s Siri can answer people’s simple questions and obey a programmed order. But it can’t work without humans. Strong AI differs from weak AI in this part most. Strong AI can solve problems and find solutions without humans, such as the self-driving car. It can control a vehicle without human involvement, and avoid unexpected obstacles, such as passersby. As a whole, AI can make human life easy and convenient, and many experts believe the future of AI is bright. But it is expensive and requires complex systems to operate. There are still many problems to solve, such as …
