Best Venice Tours
Grand Canal
Considered to be the main street of Venice, the 2-mile-long Grand Canal is one of the city’s most popular and highly photographed attractions. If you’re hoping to hire a gondolier (贡多拉船夫) for a romantic (but expensive) row along the canal, plan to pay between 80 and 120 euros for the ride. Many others suggested hopping aboard the vaporetto (水上巴士), or the public water taxi, for a much cheaper experience. Vaporetto Line I travels down the Grand Canal. Travel experts strongly recommend purchasing a Venezia Unica City Pass if you don’t plan on walking the entirety of your trip due to the high cost of one-way fare.
Rialto Bridge
Several centuries ago, the Rialto Bridge was the only way to cross the Grand Canal. There are now four major bridges that cross the canal, but the Rialto Bridge is by far the most famous. The bridge is a design work of Antonio da Ponte. Predicted to fail by critics, the bridge still stands and is considered an engineering wonder.
Campanile di San Marco
This particular bell tower was built in the early 20th century, as a reproduction of the 16th-century one, which was used by Galileo Galilei to set his telescope. It also served as a stage for tight rope walkers during the Flight of the Angel celebration. Today’s bell tower, with a 324-foot height, is used for sightseers who want to have a full view of Venice. To avoid crowds, travelers say it’s best to go early in the morning or late in the evening.
St. Mark’s Square
St. Mark’s Square, or Piazza San Marco, is considered to be the heart of Venice. As the largest square in Venice, St. Mark’s Square is the only “piazza” in the city. It’s strongly recommended that visitors visit the square either early in the morning or late in the evening simply because of the crowds. The restaurants and shops in the square are very expensive. It’s recommended that visitors walk a few streets away from the square to find more reasonably priced meals and souvenirs.
1. Why is a Venezia Unica City Pass recommended
A. To pay for the public transportation at a lower price.
B. To ensure visitors take the best photos of the attractions.
C. To enable visitors to experience a romantic trip with a gondolier.
D. To help save money for the tickets of the most popular attractions.
2. Which of the following attractions has some connections with space science
A. Grand Canal. B. Piazza San Marco.
C. Rialto Bridge. D. Campanile di San Marco.
3. In which section of a website can we probably read this text
A. Tourism. B. Food. C. Science. D. Arts.
【答案】1. A 2. D 3. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了威尼斯四处著名的旅游景点。

Travel experts strongly recommend purchasing a Venezia Unica City Pass if you don’t plan on walking the entirety of your trip due to the high cost of one-way fare. (还有很多人建议跳上汽船，或者乘坐公共水上出租车，以获得更便宜的体验。汽船1号线沿着大运河行驶。旅游专家强烈建议，如果你因为单程票价高而不打算全程步行，那就购买一张威尼斯Unica城市通票。)”可知，Venezia Unica City Pass是威尼斯的公共交通卡，可以让游客节省交通开支。故选A。

When presented with a Make-A-Wish grant, most 13-year-old boys would buy a gaming system or take a trip to Disney World. But Abraham Olagbegi is not like most teens!
Abraham is recovering from a bone marrow transplant (骨髓移植) resulting from rare genetic blood disorder. Last year was a scary time for him and his family, but the transplant was successful, and he’s now on a path to good health. When he found out he was qualified for Make-A-Wish, he shocked everyone with his request.
“I remember we were coming home from one of his doctor appointments and he said, ‘Mom, I thought about it, and I really want to feed the homeless,’” said Miriam Olagbegi, Abraham’s mother. “I said, ‘Are you sure, Abraham You could do a lot… You are sure you don’t want a PlayStation ’”
Abraham’s whole family thought it was a great idea, especially since they’ve tried to teach their kids to give freely and openly to others whenever possible. In the 13-year-old’s words, “My parents always taught us that it’s a blessing to be a blessing.”
Make-A-Wish granted Abraham’s special request, spending a day in September handing out free plates of food to people experiencing homelessness in Jackson, Mississippi. Local businesses donated all of the food and supplies, and together they managed to feed about 80 people!
Abraham said seeing the gratitude on their faces made his wish come true and “warms our hearts”. Now, the Make-A-Wish team will continue Abraham’s program named Abraham’s Table every month.
We’re just very excited to be able to continue on this program. It’s just so rewarding.” Miriam said. “If I was out there on the streets, homeless, I would want somebody at some point to think of me and to do something special for me. So, that’s what I try to teach my kids and we just try to pay it forward, by doing what we were raised to do.”
4. What did Abraham Olagbegi request as a wish
A. A gaming system. B. A trip to Disney World.
C. Free food for the homeless. D. Donation of his family’s income.
5. How did Abraham’s family react to his request
A. They felt confused. B. They were unsatisfied.
C. They tried to change his mind. D. They fully supported it.
6. What do we learn about Abraham’s parents
A. They are rich and generous. B. They are very strict parents.
C. They influence Abraham positively. D. They decide everything for Abraham.
7. What is a suitable title for the text
A. Abraham’s Special Wish B. Abraham’s Journey to Good Health
C. Influence of Family Value on Abraham D. Community Support in Abraham’s Table
【答案】4. C 5. D 6. C 7. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了男孩Abraham和妈妈热心帮助无家可归者，在被诊断患有再生障碍性贫血并接受骨髓移植后，Abraham利用他的Make-A-Wish机会继续帮助社区中的无家可归者，他还计划创办一个名为“Abraham’s Table”的非营利项目来继续他的使命。

So, that’s what I try to teach my kids and we just try to pay it forward, by doing what we were raised to do.”(“我们非常兴奋能够继续这个项目。这太值得了。”米里亚姆说。“如果我在街上，无家可归，我希望有人在某个时候想起我，为我做一些特别的事情。所以，这就是我试图教给我的孩子们的，我们只是试图通过做我们被要求做的事情来传递它。”)”可知，他们积极地影响着亚伯拉罕。故选C项。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“When presented with a Make-A-Wish grant, most 13-year-old boys would buy a gaming system or take a trip to Disney World.

Australian teenagers are missing important, basic kitchen skills and it’s having a negative influence on their health. It’s also leading our next generation towards increased rates of obesity (肥胖), according to the findings of a new survey.
A national survey of 1,006 parents found that close to half of all 12 to 18 years old teenagers can’t boil an egg; 1 in 5 only have kitchen skills that allow them to pour milk on cereal; 42%can’t boil noodles; 83.9%don’t know how to roast a chicken; 60.1 percent can’t bake a potato.
Research company Pureprofile asked parents to judge how well their kids could perform in the kitchen across some tasks. More than half (67.3%) of parents believe their children could do better when it comes to healthy food and lifestyle knowledge. Close to half of parents (42.5%) believe poor food choices are caused by lack of education at middle school, with 9 in 10 parents in support of schools doing more to encourage a healthy lifestyle.
Miriam Raleigh, an expert on the relationship between food and health, said she was already seeing a generation of young parents who had “no idea how to cook”. “They depend on convenience meals and easy snacks, and those foods often have a higher fat and salt content which can lead to obesity and a lot of health problems,” Ms Raleigh said.
The school’s Kitchen Garden program founder, Stephanie Alexander, said that if more was not done to improve the situation we would be heading towards a generation of fatter and more unhealthy kids. Ms Alexander also said she would introduce her Kitchen Garden program into middle schools so teenagers can learn the art of cooking food.
“I’m so proud of what we have achieved in the primary school and I really believe we can have the same success in middle schools,” she said.

B. Her concern in young parents’ education.
C. The way to reduce obesity in young people.
D. The need to improve everyone’s cooking skills.

A small group of Cuban dive instructors have started a project to grow coral (珊瑚) and replant it. The divers hope to restore part of Cuba’s barrier reef (堡礁). And they are working with limited financial support and using materials recovered from the coast.
Luis is one of the project’s leaders. The 44-year-old fisherman grew up on Cuba’s north coast. He said, “It’s incredible to see the loss of coral in the past 30 years.” He added, “Our dream is to make the parts of the barrier reef that have lost their coral grow again.”
To make that happen, Luis worked with other dive instructors and neighborhood schoolchildren with the support from Cuba’s environmental organizations. They began collecting pieces of coral spread across the ocean floor after large storms three years ago. The pieces were then hung on branches of underwater “trees” made from old plastic pipes and supported by fishing lines recovered from the coast. They were then “replanted” on the coral reef, fixed by nails driven into the rock. In a year, most survive and grow enough to repopulate the part of the barrier reef between 60 to 80 meters in length.
Like many coral reefs around the world, the ones in Cuba are threatened by changing water temperatures, destructive plants and animals, pollution and over-fishing. It is reported that the world has already lost 30 to 50 percent of its coral reefs.
Karine is a French diver who just visited Cuba for the first time. She said the reef looked better than others she had seen on dives elsewhere in the world, including in Africa. “The coral needs to be protected,” she said after two dives on a recent trip to nearby Varadero. She said, “It’s good to see that in Cuba they take care of what they have, and that it is still not too affected by too much tourism.”
12. What can we infer from the recovery of the Cuba’s barrier reef
A. It is just a new project to start.
B. It is a slow and difficult process.
C. It is mainly carried out by schoolchildren.
D. It is greatly supported by the government.
13. How do the dive instructors fix the pieces of coral on the reef
A. They are fastened to the rock by fishing lines.
B. They are supported by the trees on the ocean floor.
C. They are placed firmly by nails driven into the rock.
D. They are hung by old plastic pipes collected on the coast.
14. What does the underlined word “destructive” in paragraph 4 mean
A Endangered. B. Beneficial. C. Plentiful. D. Harmful.
15. What is Karine’s attitude towards the Cubans’ effort to recover the coral reef
A. Doubtful. B. Concerned. C. Positive. D. Disappointed.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文介绍了古巴民间人士为恢复珊瑚礁而采取的修补措施。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句“And they are working with limited financial support and using materials recovered from the coast. (他们在有限的财政支持下工作，使用从海岸回收的材料。)”可知，他们所用的资金和材料都非常有限，由此可推知，古巴堡礁的恢复保护是一个非常缓慢而艰难的过程。故选B项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“They began collecting pieces of coral spread across the ocean floor after large storms three years ago. The pieces were then hung on branches of underwater “trees” made from old plastic pipes and supported by fishing lines recovered from the coast. They were then “replanted” on the coral reef, fixed by nails driven into the rock. In a year, most survive and grow enough to repopulate the part of the barrier reef between 60 to 80 meters in length. (他们开始收集三年前大风暴后散布在海底的珊瑚碎片。然后，这些碎片被挂在水下“树”的树枝上，这些“树”是由旧塑料管制成的，由从海岸回收的钓鱼线支撑。然后将它们“重新种植”在珊瑚礁上，用钉入岩石的钉子固定。在一年的时间里，大多数存活下来并生长到足以在60到80米长的大堡礁部分重新繁殖。)”可知，他们将珊瑚碎片用钉子固定在礁石上来“移植”珊瑚到珊瑚礁上。故选C项。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。由文章第四段中“Like many coral reefs around the world, the ones in Cuba are threatened (像世界上许多珊瑚礁一样，古巴的珊瑚礁也受到威胁)”可知，古巴的珊瑚礁也受到威胁，结合划线词后的“plants and animals (动植物)”可知，这些是对珊瑚礁有害的动植物。A. Endangered濒临灭绝的；B. Beneficial有益的；C. Plentiful丰富的；D. Harmful有害的。所以，划线单词和D项意义一致。故选D。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句“She said, “It’s good to see that in Cuba they take care of what they have, and that it is still not too affected by too much tourism.”(她说，“很高兴看到古巴人照顾好自己拥有的东西，而且仍然没有受到过多旅游业的太大影响。”)”可知， Karine对于古巴人保护珊瑚礁的努力是拥护的。故选C项。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
At China Daily Learning English, we sometimes get questions like this: “How can I speak English with more confidence ” ____16____. No matter what language we are learning, we would all love to speak more confidently. So today, we have three pieces of advice to help you gain confidence in your English-speaking ability.
Use positive self-talk
Believe it or not, the most important person you talk to every day is yourself. In other words, it is your thoughts that really matter. So our first piece of advice is to use positive self-talk.
If you lack confidence as an English speaker, you may tell yourself things like, “____17____.” When you talk to other people, you may say things like, “I’m so sorry for my English.” But if you keep thinking and saying such things, you are sure to start believing them.
So the next time you are using your English, pay attention to what you tell yourself or others. ____18____
Don’t worry too much
One of the biggest barriers to confidence in speaking a second language is the constant worry about making mistakes. Understand that making mistakes is a natural part of the language learning process. Yes, you will make mistakes. ____19____ And many English learners communicate very well, even with mistakes. Mistakes can be a good thing. The more mistakes you make, the more progress you will make.
____20____
If your English-speaking skills are at the beginner or intermediate (中级的) level and you try to do something too difficult, you may fail. This can harm your confidence. But, if you do something that matches your level, you are more likely to do it well.
A. Set realistic goals
B. Build your confidence
C. That is a great question
D. English is too hard and I will never improve
E. It is important to practice speaking English every day
F. But the purpose of speaking a language is to communicate
G. Be sure to replace unhelpful thoughts or ideas with better ones
【答案】16. C 17. D 18. G 19. F 20. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了如何才能自信地说英语的几种方法。
【16题详解】
上文“How can I speak English with more confidence (我怎样才能更自信地说英语？)”说明作者提出怎样才能更自信地说英语这个问题，选项C“这是一个好问题”承接上文，强调这个问题的重要性，选项C中的指示代词“That”和“a great question”与上文照应。故选C项。
【17题详解】
下文“If you lack confidence as an English speaker, you may tell yourself things like(如果你对自己说英语缺乏信心，你可能会这样告诉自己)”说明下文可能列举对自己说英语缺乏信心的表现，选项D“英语太难了，我永远也进步不了”承接上文，这正是我们不自信时对自己说的话。故选D项。
【18题详解】
上文“So the next time you are using your English, pay attention to what you tell yourself or others.(所以下次你使用英语的时候，要注意你对自己或别人说的话。)”说明说英语时，要注意对自己或别人说的话，选项G“一定要用更好的想法来代替无益的想法”承接上文，要注意对自己或别人说的话，要用更好的想法来代替无益的想法。故选G项。
【19题详解】
上文“Understand that making mistakes is a natural part of the language learning process. Yes, you will make mistakes.(要明白犯错是语言学习过程中很自然的一部分。是的，你会犯错误。)”说明犯错误是自然的事情，我们一定会犯错误。下文“And many English learners communicate very well, even with mistakes.(而且许多英语学习者即使有错误，也能交流得很好。)”选项F“但是说一门语言的目的是为了交流”承上启下，说明说一门语言的目的是交流，主要能交流，就不用在意犯错误。故选F项。
【20题详解】
下文“If your English-speaking skills are at the beginner or intermediate (中级的) level and you try to do something too difficult, you may fail. This can harm your confidence. But, if you do something that matches your level, you are more likely to do it well.(如果你的英语水平处于初级或中级水平，而你试图做一些太难的事情，你可能会失败。这会损害你的自信。但是，如果你做的事情符合你的水平，你就更有可能把它做好。)”说明目标设置不合理会损害自信，目标设置合理会做得更好，选项A“设定切合实际的目标”能概括本段内容，为最佳小标题。故选A项。

Best Venice Tours
Grand Canal
Considered to be the main street of Venice, the 2-mile-long Grand Canal is one of the city’s most popular and highly photographed attractions. If you’re hoping to hire a gondolier (贡多拉船夫) for a romantic (but expensive) row along the canal, plan to pay between 80 and 120 euros for the ride. Many others suggested hopping aboard the vaporetto (水上巴士), or the public water taxi, for a much cheaper experience. Vaporetto Line I travels down the Grand Canal. Travel experts strongly recommend purchasing a Venezia Unica City Pass if you don’t plan on walking the entirety of your trip due to the high cost of one-way fare.
Rialto Bridge
Several centuries ago, the Rialto Bridge was the only way to cross the Grand Canal. There are now four major bridges that cross the canal, but the Rialto Bridge is by far the most famous. The bridge is a design work of Antonio da Ponte. Predicted to fail by critics, the bridge still stands and is considered an engineering wonder.
Campanile di San Marco
This particular bell tower was built in the early 20th century, as a reproduction of the 16th-century one, which was used by Galileo Galilei to set his telescope. It also served as a stage for tight rope walkers during the Flight of the Angel celebration. Today’s bell tower, with a 324-foot height, is used for sightseers who want to have a full view of Venice. To avoid crowds, travelers say it’s best to go early in the morning or late in the evening.
St. Mark’s Square
St. Mark’s Square, or Piazza San Marco, is considered to be the heart of Venice. As the largest square in Venice, St. Mark’s Square is the only “piazza” in the city. It’s strongly recommended that visitors visit the square either early in the morning or late in the evening simply because of the crowds. The restaurants and shops in the square are very expensive. It’s recommended that visitors walk a few streets away from the square to find more reasonably priced meals and souvenirs.

A. To pay for the public transportation at a lower price.
B. To ensure visitors take the best photos of the attractions.

When presented with a Make-A-Wish grant, most 13-year-old boys would buy a gaming system or take a trip to Disney World. But Abraham Olagbegi is not like most teens!
Abraham is recovering from a bone marrow transplant (骨髓移植) resulting from rare genetic blood disorder. Last year was a scary time for him and his family, but the transplant was successful, and he’s now on a path to good health. When he found out he was qualified for Make-A-Wish, he shocked everyone with his request.
“I remember we were coming home from one of his doctor appointments and he said, ‘Mom, I thought about it, and I really want to feed the homeless,’” said Miriam Olagbegi, Abraham’s mother. “I said, ‘Are you sure, Abraham You could do a lot… You are sure you don’t want a PlayStation ’”
Abraham’s whole family thought it was a great idea, especially since they’ve tried to teach their kids to give freely and openly to others whenever possible. In the 13-year-old’s words, “My parents always taught us that it’s a blessing to be a blessing.”
Make-A-Wish granted Abraham’s special request, spending a day in September handing out free plates of food to people experiencing homelessness in Jackson, Mississippi. Local businesses donated all of the food and supplies, and together they managed to feed about 80 people!
Abraham said seeing the gratitude on their faces made his wish come true and “warms our hearts”. Now, the Make-A-Wish team will continue Abraham’s program named Abraham’s Table every month.
We’re just very excited to be able to continue on this program. It’s just so rewarding.” Miriam said. “If I was out there on the streets, homeless, I would want somebody at some point to think of me and to do something special for me. So, that’s what I try to teach my kids and we just try to pay it forward, by doing what we were raised to do.”
4. What did Abraham Olagbegi request as a wish
A. A gaming system. B. A trip to Disney World.
C. Free food for the homeless. D. Donation of his family’s income.
5. How did Abraham’s family react to his request
A. They felt confused. B. They were unsatisfied.
C. They tried to change his mind. D. They fully supported it.
6. What do we learn about Abraham’s parents
A. They are rich and generous. B. They are very strict parents.
C. They influence Abraham positively. D. They decide everything for Abraham.
7. What is a suitable title for the text
A. Abraham’s Special Wish B. Abraham’s Journey to Good Health
C. Influence of Family Value on Abraham D. Community Support in Abraham’s Table

Australian teenagers are missing important basic kitchen skills and it’s having a negative influence on their health. It’s also leading our next generation towards increased rates of obesity (肥胖), according to the findings of a new survey.
A national survey of 1,006 parents found that close to half of all 12 to 18 years old teenagers can’t boil an egg; 1 in 5 only have kitchen skills that allow them to pour milk on cereal; 42%can’t boil noodles; 83.9%don’t know how to roast a chicken; 60.1 percent can’t bake a potato.
Research company Pureprofile asked parents to judge how well their kids could perform in the kitchen across some tasks. More than half (67.3%) of parents believe their children could do better when it comes to healthy food and lifestyle knowledge. Close to half of parents (42.5%) believe poor food choices are caused by lack of education at middle school, with 9 in 10 parents in support of schools doing more to encourage a healthy lifestyle.
Miriam Raleigh, an expert on the relationship between food and health, said she was already seeing a generation of young parents who had “no idea how to cook”. “They depend on convenience meals and easy snacks, and those foods often have a higher fat and salt content which can lead to obesity and a lot of health problems,” Ms Raleigh said.
The school’s Kitchen Garden program founder, Stephanie Alexander, said that if more was not done to improve the situation we would be heading towards a generation of fatter and more unhealthy kids. Ms Alexander also said she would introduce her Kitchen Garden program into middle schools so teenagers can learn the art of cooking food.
“I’m so proud of what we have achieved in the primary school and I really believe we can have the same success in middle schools,” she said.
8. What did the national survey find about Australian teenagers
A. They eat unhealthy food. B. They are poor at cooking.
C. They like convenience meals. D. They are interested in cooking.
9. What’s the function of paragraph 2
A. Explaining the reasons. B. Providing the data.
C. Making comparisons. D. Giving examples.
10. What did Miriam Raleigh try to express
A. Her worry about the unhealthy lifestyle.
B. Her concern in young parents’ education.
C. The way to reduce obesity in young people.
D. The need to improve everyone’s cooking skills.
11. What is the purpose of this passage
A. To teach teenagers cooking. B. To care about teenagers’ health.
C. To improve school education. D. To promote a cooking program.

A small group of Cuban dive instructors have started a project to grow coral (珊瑚) and replant it. The divers hope to restore part of Cuba’s barrier reef (堡礁). And they are working with limited financial support and using materials recovered from the coast.
Luis is one of the project’s leaders. The 44-year-old fisherman grew up on Cuba’s north coast. He said “It’s incredible to see the loss of coral in the past 30 years.” He added, “Our dream is to make the parts of the barrier reef that have lost their coral grow again.”
To make that happen, Luis worked with other dive instructors and neighborhood schoolchildren with the support from Cuba’s environmental organizations. They began collecting pieces of coral spread across the ocean floor after large storms three years ago. The pieces were then hung on branches of underwater “trees” made from old plastic pipes and supported by fishing lines recovered from the coast. They were then “replanted” on the coral reef, fixed by nails driven into the rock. In a year, most survive and grow enough to repopulate the part of the barrier reef between 60 to 80 meters in length.
Like many coral reefs around the world, the ones in Cuba are threatened by changing water temperatures, destructive plants and animals, pollution and over-fishing. It is reported that the world has already lost 30 to 50 percent of its coral reefs.
Karine is a French diver who just visited Cuba for the first time. She said the reef looked better than others she had seen on dives elsewhere in the world including in Africa. “The coral needs to be protected,” she said after two dives on a recent trip to nearby Varadero. She said, “It’s good to see that in Cuba they take care of what they have, and that it is still not too affected by too much tourism.”
12. What can we infer from the recovery of the Cuba’s barrier reef
A. It is just a new project to start.
B. It is a slow and difficult process.
C. It is mainly carried out by schoolchildren.
D It is greatly supported by the government.
13. How do the dive instructors fix the pieces of coral on the reef
A. They are fastened to the rock by fishing lines.
B. They are supported by the trees on the ocean floor.
C. They are placed firmly by nails driven into the rock.
D. They are hung by old plastic pipes collected on the coast.
14. What does the underlined word “destructive” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Endangered. B. Beneficial. C. Plentiful. D. Harmful.
15. What is Karine’s attitude towards the Cubans’ effort to recover the coral reef
A. Doubtful. B. Concerned. C. Positive. D. Disappointed.
