Fraser Island is in Queensland, Australia, about 200 kilometers north of Brisbane.It is about 120 kilometers long and 240 kilometers wide.It is a very important island because it is completely made of sand.In fact, it is the largest sandy island in the world.There is no airport on the island, but there is a long beach along the east coast.Planes arrive and leave from here.
The sand makes unusual shapes.There are hills made of sand called sand dunes.Nothing grows on them.They move one or two meters a year from the northwest towards the southeast of the island, getting bigger and bigger.At other places on the island, such as Rainbow Gorge, The Cathedrals and Red Canyon, the sandy rocks have different colors.Sometimes the rocks are so brown that they turn the sea brown, like coffee.
Surprisingly, the sandy island has a lot of different plants and animals.There are dark forests—eucalyptus woods, beautiful flowers and over a hundred lakes.There are many kinds of birds, like owls and curlews.There are many animals there, too, such as crocodiles, flying foxes and wild dogs called dingoes.
About 500,000 people visit the island every year to see the island’s beauty and nature.People enjoy camping and hiking there.Unluckily, the visitors create problems.They break plants and frighten animals.Their suncream (防晒霜) makes the water dirty.So it is necessary to manage the visitors.For example, people may not use motorboats or go fishing in the lakes.

I was careful to behave as well as possible, hoping the King would give me freedom early.Lilliputians soon began to lose their fear of me.They called me Man-Mountain.Sometimes I lay down and let them dance on my hand, and from time to time children came to play games in my hair.By now I was able to speak their language well.
One day the King invited me to watch their regular entertainments.I was most interested in the rope-dancing.A very thin rope was fixed (固定) about thirty centimetres above the ground.People who wanted to become the King’s officials jumped and danced on this rope, and who ever jumped highest without a miss got the best job.There was another interesting entertainment.The King held a stick in front of him, and moved it up and down from time to time.One by one, people came up to him and jumped over the stick or crawled (爬) under it.They went on jumping and crawling as the King moved the stick.The winner, who jumped and crawled for the longest time, received a blue ribbon (绶带) to wear round his waist.The second received a red ribbon, and the third got a green one.I had certainly never seen such entertainments in any of the countries I had visited before.
Some days later the King agreed that I didn’t need to be a prisoner any longer.However, I had to promise certain things before I was set free:
·to be careful not to step on any Lilliputians or their animals
·to help the Lilliputians in war till they win peace (和平)
·to stay in Lilliput until the King allowed me to leave
I agreed to everything at once.I was free at last!
Several weeks after my visit to the country, I was visited by one of the King’s most important officials.His name was Reldresal, and he had helped me many times since I had arrived in Lilliput.
“Well, my friend,” he said, “Lilliput has enemies (敌人) both at home and abroad.At home we have two political groups, the High-Heels and the Low-Heels.The two groups hate each other.As the present King and his officials are all Low-Heels, they refuse to speak to High-Heels.That’s the problem inside Lilliput.Besides, we’re getting information that the people of Blefusce are going to attack us.Have you heard of Blefusce It’s an island very near us, almost as large and important as Lilliput.They’ve been at war with us for three years.”
—Extracted from Gulliver’s Travels
1.Why did Gulliver try to behave as well as he could in Lilliput
A.Because he wanted to be set free earlier. B.Because the King ordered him to do so.
C.Because he was in fear of the Lilliputians. D.Because he was called Man-Mountain.
2.Which of the statements about the two entertainments is true
A.Both entertainments chose the winners according to how much time was spent.
B.The stick was fixed in the King’s hand about thirty centimetres above the ground.
C.The winners of the stick entertainment would be given ribbons of the same color.
D.The official who got the most important job jumped highest on the rope without falling.
3.How did Gulliver probably feel when he watched the two entertainments
A.Afraid. B.Surprised. C.Bored. D.Worried.
4.What could be inferred (推断) as the story went on
A.Gulliver would join the High-Heel group.
B.Gulliver would visit Blefusce with Reldresal.

D.Gulliver would help the Lilliputians live a peaceful life.

Before we upload a photo of ourselves to social media, like WeChat, we’ll use an app to smooth our skin, make our eyes look bigger, and give us longer eyelashes and fuller lips.With a couple of touches on our mobile phone, we’re able to present the best pictures of ourselves to others.
However, the problem is, when we simply edit our imperfections(瑕疵)away, we’re also changing the way we look at our ourselves.(1).
Last month researchers from the US Boston University published an article Selfies—Living in the Era of Filtered(滤镜)Photographs.The article listed the bad effects of photo editing on people and the possibility to cause appearance worries.(2).
The researchers think that these apps make it difficult to tell between reality and fantasy(虚幻).“These apps allow one to change his or her appearance in minutes and follow an unrealistic standard of beauty,” the article says.(3).
In the past, people might compare their looks to those who were famous that time.But for today’s young people, beauty standards are most likely set by what they see on social media.“From birth, they are born into an age of social platforms, and their feelings are connected to how good they look,” a British doctor Escho said.
(4)“Now you’ve got the comparison of your real self to fake self that you present on social media,” Renee Engeln, a professor at Northwestern University, told the HuffPost website.He further pointed out that when people spend too much time comparing with others, they may become “beauty sick” and find it difficult to accept what they actually look like.
So when we look in a real mirror, we shouldn’t think to ourselves, “Do I look as good as myself in the Beauty Cam(美颜) ” Instead, we should think, “I feel good.I have my health.”
1.What may people do before they present the best of themselves on social media
A.Wearing false eyelashes. B.Redding their lips before going out.
C.Using apps to edit photos. D.Smoothing their skin in the morning.
2.Where should we put the sentence “This is why many young people suffer an appearance worries when it comes to how they really look.”
A.(4) B.(3) C.(2) D.(1)
3.Who did people use to compare their looks to
A.Famous people. B.People who they see on social media.
C.Family members. D.Their friends.
4.Which of the following is right according to the passage
A.Everybody looks as good as himself in the Beauty Cam.
B.These apps make it easy to tell between reality and fantasy.
C.The article listed the bad and good effects of photo editing on people.
D.People today pay more attention on how good they look than in the past.
5.What did the author write this passage for
A.To call on people to care more about appearance.
B.To call on people not to use apps on mobile phones.
C.To call on people to spend too much time comparing with others.
D.To call on people to learn something more important than appearance.

1、C
【解析】句意:——我知道英国是一个欧洲国家,但我不确定它是否是一个岛国。——是的,它是。

4、B
【解析】句意:——你叔叔什么时候前往丹麦的首都的呢?——让我看看。他已经离开近2个月了。
考查特殊疑问句及延续性动词。when什么时候;how long多久。根据“for nearly 2 months.”可知,空二应用延续性动词,left为leave的过去分词,是短暂性动词,故排除AC选项;空一由“leave”可知,how long不与短暂性动词连用,因此用when引导特殊疑问句。故选B。
5、D
【解析】句意:——我阿姨去新加坡度假了。 ——这是一个美丽的国家。我去过那里两次。
考查动词时态。has gone (to) 去过某地,表示去了还没有回来;has been (to) 去过某地,表示去了已经回来。第一空,根据“My aunt...Singapore to spend her holiday.”可知,此处表示阿姨去新加坡度假了,还没有回来,用has gone to;第二空,根据“I...there twice.”可知,此处表示去过新加坡两次,去了已经回来了,且there是地点副词,前面不能加to,所以第二空用have been。故选D。

10、B
【解析】句意:这些天,王叔叔看起来气色很好。他过去抽很多烟,但他已经戒掉了。
考查一般过去时。was used to smoke被用于吸烟,用于一般过去时的被动语态;used to smoke过去常常吸烟,用于一般过去时;gets used to smoking习惯吸烟,用于一般现在时;is used to smoking习惯于吸烟,用于一般现在时。根据“but he has given it up”可知,他现在已经戒烟了,因此应是说他过去常常吸烟,应用used to do表示“过去常常做某事”。故选B。

14、C
【解析】句意:“在我们的船撞上岩石后,我尽可能游得远些。”划线单词“After”被用来显示时间。
考查语法常识。show cause effect显示因果关系;give examples举例说明;show time显示时间;add more information补充更多信息。根据“After our ship crashed against the rocks”可知原句是状语从句,after通常引导时间状语从句,意为“在……之后”,故选C。
