A
If you asked me to dance，I’d probably freeze on the spot and some people say I have two left feet! But with some persuasion and Dutch courage I can be tempted to take to the dance floor and shake some moves and that，apparently，is only natural.
Experts have found as well as being fun，dancing might have helped us to survive as a species.Evolutionary anthropologist(人类学家) Bronwyn Tarr from the University of Oxford believes that dancing alone is one thing but it’s dancing as a group that makes our brain reward us with a cocktail of feel-good hormones that change how we feel about ourselves and those around us.This is likely to lead to profound social effects.It’s keeping pace with others that makes us happy.Bronwyn Tarr says that “dancing fosters social closeness between people.It helps us build social connections and communities.In our past，those social connections would have been critical for surviving.”
Dance is also a good way to keep fit and improve our mental health.In Wales there have been calls for doctors to prescribe dance classes to people who are unwell.The Arts Council of Wales claims there are many health benefits.And Bronwyn Tarr says “more and more we’re actually discovering that your longevity(长寿)—your life expectancy—is predicted by the social connections that you have...still today it’s something we should do more of.”
It could be part of being a conservative Englishman that makes me a reluctant dancer.Look at other nationalities such as Cubans where dancing is at the heart of their cultural identity.And in Brazil at Carnival time，people let their hair down by dancing together day and night.They seem to be having a good time—so maybe I should get on my feet and dance!
17. What does the author imply in the first paragraph
A. He doesn’t like dancing. B. He does not dance well.
C. He lacks confidence in dancing. D. He does everything out of nature.
18. What can be inferred from Tarr’s words in Paragraph 2
A. Dancing alone doesn’t benefit at all. B. Dancing with others helps people survive.
C. It is funny to keep pace with other people. D. It matters most to dance on social occasions.
19. How does the author feel about dancing in the last paragraph
A. Positive. B. Negative.
C. Unclear. D. Objective.
20. What is the best title for the text
A. What Makes You a Real Dancer B. What Can Dances Bring Us
C. Why Do People Love to Dance D. How Can We Dance Well
B
More than ￡5,500 has been raised after a plea(请愿) last Monday by a vet Dr Scott Miller.Scott said，“I would like to say a massive thank-you to Express readers from myself，from Australia and from the koalas.It’s amazing that people from across the world can see how significant the catastrophe has been.I do appreciate that people are being very supportive and reaching into their pockets.” An area，a third of the size of Britain is estimated to have been ravaged(毁坏) since the blazes(火灾) began in September.
On Friday，a state of emergency was declared in the capital Canberra，with residents told to prepare to evacuate as fires on the outskirts(市郊) threatened to spread.A billion animals are feared to have died，including 25,000 koalas.
Last week Scott told how he had visited his homeland，helping to save wildlife on Kangaroo Island off the coast of Adelaide.While there he rescued a mother and a baby koala who were stuck in a tree.The pair were rushed to a field hospital on the island to be treated.The mum had severe burns to her paws and was badly dehydrated(脱水的)，while her baby son had an eye injury and was underweight.
Scott，who has appeared on ITV’s This Morning and BBC’s Blue Peter，said the mother is showing “great signs of improvement” and her wounds are starting to heal.The baby has undergone surgery to his eye and is “recovering from the anesthetic(麻药) and doing well”．
But he added，“The mother remains dehydrated so it isn’t producing enough milk to feed the baby.At the moment they’re being housed severally but there is the hope that when the baby is a little stronger he will be able to be returned to his mother.”
Even after they recover，the pair will probably spend their lives in an enclosure while the bush takes years to recover.Scott said，“Sadly patients are still coming in thick and fast.Each of these animals is requiring to be housed and fed，and regular medical treatment to their injuries.”
21. What can be inferred from the first two paragraphs

C. Numerous animals might have lost their lives. D. A large area of Britain has been badly damaged by the fire.
22. What did Dr Scott do after returning to his homeland

Parents，teachers and caregivers have long suspected the magic of storytelling to calm kids.Researchers have now quantified the physiological and emotional benefits of a well-told tale.
“We know that narrative has the power to transport us to another world，”says Guilherme Brockington from Brazil’s Federal University.“Earlier research suggested that stories help children process and regulate their emotions—but this was mostly conducted in a laboratory，with subjects answering questions while lying inside functional MRI(磁共振成像) machines.There are few studies on physiological and psychological effects of storytelling in a more commonplace hospital setting.”
So investigators working in several Brazilian hospitals split a total of 81 patients aged 4 to 11 into two groups，matching them with storytellers who had a decade of hospital experience.In one group，the storyteller led each child in playing a riddle game.In the other，youngsters chose books and listened as the storyteller read them aloud.Before and after these sessions，the researchers took spit samples from each child，then asked them to report their pain levels and conducted a free-association word quiz.
Children in both groups benefited measurably from the interactions：they showed lower levels of cortisol—the stress-related hormone(激素)—and higher levels of oxytocin，which is often described as a feel-good hormone.Yet kids in the storytelling group benefited significantly more：their cortisol levels were a quarter of those in the riddle group，and their oxytocin levels were nearly twice as high.Those who heard stories also reported pain levels dropping almost twice as much as those in the riddle group，and they used more positive words to describe their hospital stay.
The study demonstrates that playing games or simply interacting with someone can relax kids and improve their outlook but that hearing stories has an especially dramatic effect.“The researchers really tried to control the social interaction component of the storyteller，which I think was the key，”says Raymond Mar，a psychologist at York University，who was not involved in the new research.
Next，the investigators plan to study how long these effects last，along with storytelling’s potential benefits to kids with particular illnesses such as cancer.For now Brockington says the results indicate storytelling is a low-cost and extremely efficient way to help improve health outcomes in a variety of settings.Mar agrees.“It’s very promising and feasible，”he says，“and possibly generalizable.”
25. What is the second paragraph mainly about
A. The physiological and emotional benefits of a well-told tale on children. B. The methods used in earlier studies on the power of storytelling on children.
C. The limitations of the earlier research on the power of storytelling on children. D. The major breakthroughs achieved so far on the power of storytelling on children.
26. Which of the following is TRUE about the study conducted in Brazilian hospitals
A. It measured participants’ blood levels. B. It divided subjects into groups of 81.
C. It quantified the benefits of storytelling. D. It compared the impact of two types of storytelling.
27. What does the underlined word “feasible”in the last paragraph mean
A. Practical. B. Comparable.
C. Adjustable. D. Readable.
28. What can we learn from the passage
A. Kids with cancer benefit most from storytelling. B. Interacting with others improves sick kids’ mental sharpness.
C. Listening to stories reduces pain and stress in hospitalized kids. D. Riddle guessing is as effective as storytelling in helping sick kids.
D
In 2007，the African Union announced an ambitious project—to plant the Great Green Wall(GGW)，a band of trees that would stretch the length of the Sahel.
The GGW is an ecological restoration project designed by African people for African people.Heavy rains，droughts，wildfires and landslides have all become common throughout the world.But nowhere is quite like the Sahel.In this huge African region，climate change has materialized in a dramatic manner.In some cases，the severe conditions have left people with no option other than to migrate elsewhere to survive.It was with all of this in mind that the extraordinary，but heavily debated project was first put forward.
Fourteen years have passed since the initiative formally kicked off.The stated goal was to create a 15-kilometre-wide,8,000-kilometre-long green belt of trees and other plants that，by 2030，would span(跨越) the entire width of the Sahel，from Senegal to Djibouti.Overall,100 million hectares(公顷) of land would be restored by 2030.Once completed，it was announced，the wall could end up capturing(俘获) 250 million tonnes of carbon dioxide，while its creation and upkeep could create ten million jobs in rural areas.
Looking at the project as a whole，there’s still a long way to go.According to a status report by the UN Convention to Combat Desertification，about four million hectares of degraded land have been restored.This means that progress towards the 100 million hectares target stands at just four per cent.
“When we started restoring the soil，we realized the area at risk was much wider than we initially thought，” explains Elvis Paul Tangem，the African Union’s GGW coordinator.“We had few funds to push the initiative as much as we wanted to.There was skepticism among investors，who didn’t understand the project，but also among the African states themselves，which needed time to figure out if the GGW was a priority.”
29. What is the purpose of the GGW project
A. To improve local ecology. B. To develop rural economy.
C. To predict climate patterns. D. To strengthen regional ties.
30. What do the statistics in paragraph 3 show of the initiative
A. The service period. B. The total budget.
C. The targeted groups. D. The expected benefits.
31. How does Elvis Paul Tangem feel about the project
A. Satisfied. B. Skeptical.
C. Confident. D. Worried.
32. What message does the author intend to convey in the text
A. African countries should stand together. B. Fighting climate change is a top priority.
C. The progress of the GGW project is slow. D. Natural disasters are worse than we thought.

53. 1．examples 2．with 3．properly 4．which 5．to improve 6．a 7．means 8．is learnt/is learned 9．less 10．believing
【解析】1．考查名词复数。句意：其中一个例子是我学画画的时候。One of后面需加可数名词复数形式。故填examples。
2．考查介词。句意：但是每个人都对我很耐心，鼓励我，给我指出正确的方法，而不是生气，过了一段时间，我就能正确地画画了。be patient with为固定短语，意为“对……有耐心”。故填with。
3．考查副词。句意同上。修饰动词paint，需用副词作状语。故填properly。
4．考查定语从句。句意：许多人只需要一门语言，因为他们的朋友和家人都说同一门语言，这使得他们学习一门新的语言更加困难。空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词指前面的一个句子，在定语从句中作主语，需用关系代词which引导。故填which。
5．考查非谓语动词。句意：首先，提高的最好方法是有机会练习。修饰名词way，空处需填动词不定式作后置定语。故填to improve。
6．考查冠词。句意：就一门语言而言，这意味着有机会与说他们想学语言的人交流。language为可数名词，此处表示泛指，且language发音以辅音音素开头，需用不定冠词a修饰。故填a。
7．考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意同上。此处陈述客观事实，使用一般现在时，主语为this，谓语动词使用第三人称单数形式。故填means。
8．考查动词时态语态。句意：如果没有这样的机会，就会减慢学习语言的速度。此处陈述客观事实，使用一般现在时，主语the language和learn为被动关系，需用被动语态，主语为单数名词，be动词用is。故填is learnt/learned。
9．考查形容词比较级。句意：第二，学习者更容易失去兴趣，因为他们很少有机会看到自己的进步。修饰名词“chance”需用形容词作定语，此处表示“较少的”，因此填形容词比较级less。故填less。
10．考查非谓语动词。句意：如果看不到已经有了多大的提高，他们就很难继续相信自己在进步。keep doing sth.为固定用法，意为“继续做某事”，空处需填动名词作宾语。故填believing。

Learning that you are interested in Chinese culture，I’d like to share with you something about the Chinese summer camp to be held in our school.
The camp，scheduled from July 20 to August 8，is intended to make traditional Chinese culture alive. Foreigners will learn daily Chinese，join in all kinds of parties and attend lectures about Chinese history and culture，including Chinese festivals and holidays. In addition，there are trips to the local museums and tourist attractions，which offers a good chance to be exposed to Chinese-speaking environment.
Hopefully，you can come and experience it in person.
