Kids and parents alike will find plenty to do in these fantastic places. Make sure to look for special spring offers!
National Cherry Blossom Festival — Washington, D.C.
The best time to see D.C. is arguably when its cherry trees are in full bloom(鲜花盛开). The festival includes a kite festival, a showcase of Japanese arts, and hands-on activities. Families can also visit the free museums.
One&Only Palmilla — Los Cabos, Mexico
The second kids walk through the gate, they get a beach bag stuffed with a T-shirt, hat, and Mexican toy. Rooms come equipped with a bathroom stocked with adult and baby products from Lady Primrose's. The holiday resort also offers a free children's program for kids 4 to 12, where they can learn Spanish and do yoga while you're at the spa.
Fort Lewis Lodge — Virginia
The 200-year-old cattle farm on 3200 acres in Virginia's Allegheny Mountains offers horseshoe pitching(掷U形铁), and fishing for rock bass. Guests sleep in the farmhouse, or in log cabins. At night, they can walk down to the viewing platform to see the stars.
Space Camp — Alabama
As part of the camp's three-day program, kids aged 7 to 12 can try out small versions of the flight simulator(模拟器)equipment. Campers can build and launch two-foot rockets, buy a NASA-issue jumpsuit, and find out what it feels like to float weightlessly in space.

Every tropical forest looks different, particularly in the eyes of an ecologist, and Peter Ellis has been lucky enough to visit a fair few. One in particular holds a special place in his heart: the rain forests of Gabon. He first visited as a Peace Corps volunteer. “It completely changed the way I think about conservation and our relationship with nature,” he says.
These days, Ellis is the global director of natural climate solutions science at the US-based conservation organization — The Nature Conservancy, where he’s presently investigating the role that logging (cutting down trees) can play in tropical forests. Logging for forest conservation may sound contradictory, and it often is. But logging in a tropical forest looks different to the practices we might expect to see. “We might imagine it as a wasteland of stumps (树桩) after a clear cut,” says Ellis. Instead, only a few trees are actually removed. A sustainably logged forest is the one that remains a breathing, rich, tropical rain forest full of trees and wildlife, thus helping keep a large part of the biodiversity while ensuring that more damaging industries don’t take its place. It can also provide a means of basic livelihood for the local people.
The two years that Ellis spent in the Gabon rain forests opened his eyes to a different method of land management. “The locals took me out into the forest and taught me the names, usages and spiritual significance of all the trees and other plants in the forest,” he says. “Science is about exact, designed experiments, but it’s also about asking the right questions. And the people who live in those places and protect the ecosystem are more likely to help us learn what the right questions to ask are.”
Tropical forests are essential to our planet’s future as they support high levels of biodiversity and act as crucial carbon sinks (碳储存器). “We need to honour, and protect them so that they can do their job to help save us all” says Ellis.
24．What does Peter Ellis think of his first visit to the rain forests of Gabon
A．It was poorly arranged.
B．It made little difference to his life.
C．It brought him far-reaching influence.
D．It was physically challenging for him.
25．What does Peter Ellis realize after his investigation in tropical rain forests
A．Logging means a complete clear-out.
B．Logging balances the rain forests.
C．Logging brings huge profits to the locals.
D．Logging encourages the local damaging industries.
26．What does Ellis suggest scientists do in protecting the rain forests
A．Consult experienced local people.
B．Spread more knowledge about wildlife.
C．Get involved in designing procedures.
D．Carry out more well-designed experiments.
27．What is the purpose of the last paragraph
A．To introduce Ellis’s future plan.
B．To stress the importance of biodiversity.
C．To provide further information about Ellis.
D．To call on people to preserve tropical rain forests.
C
The first reality TV show in the world was called Expedition Robinson and it was shown in Sweden in 1997. Half the population of the country watched the final event and a new kind of TV program was born.
Two years later in Holland, the first series of Big Brother was filmed. Again, it was a great success and the final program was watched by 15 million people. Now more than 20 countries around the world have Big Brother or Expedition Robinson on their TV screens. The ordinary people who take part in the programs are known by millions of people in their own countries and reality TV has become big, big business.
For the TV producers, reality TV is a dream which come true because many of the programs cost nothing to make. At some point, the television viewers are asked to telephone the program to vote(投票) or to apply to take part in the show. It is the cost of these telephone calls that pays for the shows. One of the most popular shows is Pop Idol. In the show, a group of attractive young people are made into pop stars. TV viewers vote for their favorite person on the show. The winner makes a record and millions of copies of the record are sold. His or her pictures are published on the covers of magazines or on the front pages of newspapers, and then, they are quickly forgotten.
But not everyone is happy about reality TV. In Portugal, two TV channels got into trouble because they showed too much of the personal lives of the people in the shows. In France, reality TV is called “rubbish TV” and the TV studios of Big Brother were attacked three times in one week. In Greece, Big Brother was described as “against human rights and civilization”.
Those who take part in reality TV shows are usually _______.
common people
B. pop TV Stars
C. attractive people
D. famous film stars
29. Who would pay for the cost of reality TV shows according to the passage
A. TV producers who make reality TV shows.
B. TV actors who take part in reality TV shows.
C. TV viewers who telephone reality TV shows.
D. TV companies which broadcast reality TV shows.
30. What can we learn from the passage
A. Big Brother was the first reality TV show in the world.
B. Pop Idol is one of the popular reality TV shows in Sweden.
C. Rubbish TV is one of the personal reality TV shows in the world.
D. Reality TV becomes a global phenomenon with shows like Expedition Robinson.
31. It can be concluded from the passage that _______.
everyone is happy about reality TV
B. reality TV will do well in many countries
C. all the people in Europe are in favor of reality TV
D. reality TV will not be broadcast in any countries
D
High school is difficult for everyone. You are going through an awkward time and you may either fit in right away or feel like a complete outcast. But no matter how well you may fit in (or not), joining a club will be good for you in the short term and long term.
Joining a club is a great way to meet new people, especially if you are new to the school. Joining a club forces you to communicate with people who have similar interests as you. Even if you are the shyest and quietest person, you are sure to develop a relationship with at least one person in the club that you decide to join. Speaking from personal experience, I have met some of my best friends from my after-school activities and had many new doors open to me.
Another really nice thing about joining a club is that doing activities looks good on college applications. Being known as outgoing is a highly valued trait (特质); it shows that you are willing to put yourself out there, be determined, and best of all try new things. Another nice thing is that (depending on the activity) it could help you develop skills that you could use during a college interview.
Productivity is something that teens seem to continuously have a problem with. Most teens go to school and then come home and spend the rest of the day in front of the television or phone, but activities prohibit (阻止) this. Teens are also very easy to influence and if they fall into the wrong group of people they could fall into consequences such as problems with the law. Clubs are a great place to spend time and be with good people who you can fall back on if you need them.
Maybe the most important reason why you should join a club is the long-term benefit (益处) it brings. The classroom isn’t the only learning environment in a school. Things such as meeting and speaking to new people, keeping an eye on the time, and being organized are things you will use every single day of your life.
32. What might the underlined word “outcast” in paragraph 1 mean
A. A person who is popular. B. A person who is not smart.
C. A person who is confident. D. A person who is not accepted.
33. What do colleges think highly of according to the text
A. The number of clubs you have joined.
B. The strong relationships you have built.
C. The bright personality you have developed.
D. The skills you have learned while forming a club.
34. What benefit of joining a club is talked about in paragraph 4
A. Increasing knowledge. B. Learning teamwork skills.
C. Improving your fitness level. D. Making good use of your time.
35. What is the best title for the text
A. What club should you join B. Why should you join a club
C. How to join a club you like D. Should you join a second club

第二节 （满分25分）
阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When starting my sixth-grade year, I was nervous about many things. But nothing compared to the problem that I got to the age where my voice started changing. At first, the voice getting deep excited me. But then I learned before getting deeper, it can crack (变嘶哑).
The first time it happened I was so embarrassed. Surprisingly, my friends didn’t make fun of me. In fact, they didn’t even mention it. But in my self-conscious sixth-grade mind I was certain they made fun of me behind my back. They weren’t having the same problem.
After my first voice crack experience, I was determined to make sure it wouldn’t happen again. At least not in public. So, except for strategic times I said, “cool” and “yeah”, I didn’t talk. My logic was, “If I don’t use my voice, it cannot crack.” However, I couldn’t go without talking forever. I needed a new solution.
I began clearing my throat before speaking, which actually seemed to help. Limiting how much I spoke and clearing my voice made me much less stressful. This was great but there was a larger problem. I was much more scared about having a voice crack during class. My class had many new kids I’d never spoken with. I didn’t want their first impressions of me to be based on a voice crack.
Unfortunately, one day my concern came true. It was about two months after the beginning of the term. On the day it happened everything was the same as always until I got into the classroom. I noticed that we had a substitute teacher (代课老师) and immediately started thinking about how he would take attendance. My permanent teacher never had to, since he already knew each student, I panicked. So many thoughts rushed through my mind that I couldn’t think straight. I calmed myself down by telling myself that I only had to say one word “Here”. “Easy enough, right ” I thought so until my name was called. I did my routine — cleared my throat, took a breath, and said, “Here.” The only problem was that while saying this, I had the worst voice crack in the history of voice cracks.

Dear Tom,
Knowing that you’re interested in students’ labor practice, I’m writing to share something about it.
Aimed to promote the all-round development of the students, a labor practice took place on Hongxing Farm last month. Each student took an active part in the activities, teaming up to have all the tasks finished efficiently. Throughout the three days, we gained a lot .
The practice left a deep impression on us. Not only did it enrich our school life, but it further developed our love for work.
Best wishes.
Yours ,

The whole class turned to look at me. I felt my face turning red and wished the ground would open up and swallow me whole. The embarrassment was unbearable, and I couldn’t even bring myself to meet anyone’s gaze. After what felt like an eternity, the substitute teacher finally spoke up, breaking the awkward silence. He chuckled and said, “Well, that’s quite a lovely young voice!” The class laughed friendly along with him, and I managed a weak smile, wondering whether they were just trying to make me feel better. Finally, the bell rang and I walked out to have some fresh air.
“You know, the voice problem you met in class is normal,” a classmate came to me and said. “Everyone goes through it. It happens to most of us during this stage of life.” He explained how he had also experienced voice cracks and how he had learned to embrace them as a natural part of growing up. I looked at him in surprise, grateful for his reassurance. My initial embarrassment and concern gave way to gratitude and confidence. My classmates were understanding and supportive, just as my friends had been from the beginning. With their encouragement, I gradually became more confident in using my voice, accepting the changes that came with puberty without fear or shame.
