Dear William,
Knowing that you are stuck in choosing the club, I’m delighted to share my opinion with you.

In addition, the club regularly holds activities, ranging from shooting in the wild and arranging photography salons around the campus, which is sure to get your skills improved.
If it’s the club that you are looking for, don’t hesitate to sign up at photographyclub@.

第二节 (满分25分)
I smiled when she finished, and walked over to the tree. Feeling eager and excited, I reached for the paper angels. “Who will be the child ” I whispered. “In spite of my struggle, I would like to offer her a simple Christmas gift.” At this time, the teenage boy and girl whose mother I talked with just now approached me, showing me their gifts which were wrapped by the store, broad smiles on their faces. Certainly, what they did really made a big difference to me. I really admired them for their being so caring and kind to help needy children. After a while, we said goodbye with a hug.
Waving to the two happy children, I left the store, planning what to do next Christmas. On my arrival at my home, I was greeted by my son and daughter. As soon as I sat down, I poured out the Charity Angel tree to them in detail. What’s more, I explained to them the gift that I chose. After listening with great interest, they shouted, “From now on, we will save money and buy gifts for more children”. We agreed to make it a family tradition at the Christmas shopping time every year. Obviously, it was small acts of kindness that add up, which is significant/important to our society.

M:Hello, it’s me David Smith. Welcome back to Today on History. Today is July 31st. So I’ll talk about Curt Gowdy. Born on July 31st, 1919, he was an excellent sports broadcaster and host of the outdoor show. He developed the idea for the television sports show and hosted ABC’s Wide World of Sports, which showed a variety of sports on Saturday afternoon. In 1964, Gowdy made a video for a show in which he and the famous fisherman Joe Brooks went fishing in the Argentine mountains. It became a hit and almost immediately ABC created a new show built around outdoor amusement — The American Sportsman, hosted by Curt Gowdy. The show focused on fishing and hunting experiences involving famous persons from movie stars, athletes to educators. For millions of Americans, the show was their window to the natural world. Gowdy, an active environmentalist, was a member of the Conservation Hall of Fame International. To honor his work, the State of Wyoming built the Curt Gowdy State Park in 1972. The park lies above 6,450 feet in height. Gowdy loved it, saying “It has two beautiful lakes, hiking trails, fishing and beauty. What greater honor can a man receive ” OK, so much for today. Goodbye.

Four of the World’s Greatest National Parks
Komodo
Location: Indonesia
Area: 1,733km
Home to the world’s largest lizard (蜥蜴), the Komodo dragon, Komodo National Park is made up of 29 islands in the centre of the Indonesian archipelago (群岛). The park’s three main islands of Komodo, Rinca and Padar make ideal destinations for divers, as the surrounding coral reefs (珊瑚礁) support a vast amount of oceanic diversity. With over 1,000 species of fish, 260 species of coral, and countless sea animals, this is an ideal spot to swim with sharks, whales, dolphins and more.
Namib-Naukluft
Location: Namibia
Area: 49,768km
In the world’s oldest desert, the landscape moves. The golden dunes (沙丘) shift as winds blow and seasons pass. Visitors come to explore the dunes and it can be a real adventure. Jump in a 4x4 or hike across the sands on foot for a multi-day trail and you’ll soon find yourself deep in the Namibian wilderness. You’ll need a permit and doctor’s letter to take on the longer hikes, but one-day hikes give anyone a chance to see more of the Namib.
Tongariro
Location: New Zealand
Area: 795km
As New Zealand’s oldest national park, Tongariro National Park is home to three active volcanoes (火山). And here’s the Tongariro Alpine Crossing, a 19.4-kilometre hike that takes you across beautiful landscapes. This park also draws in skiers during the winter seasons. The biggest ski area, Whakapapa, covers 5.5km and has 15 lifts in all.
Teide
Location: Tenerife, Spain
Area: 190km
This park is home to Mount Teide, the highest peak in Spain. With a height of 3,718 metres, Mount Teide is also the third largest volcanic structure on the planet. Besides, Teide National Park possesses unique plants. The most unusual among the 139 recorded species is red bugloss, which has become the symbol of the park.
21. What can visitors do in Komodo National Park
A. Hike across the biggest ski area Whakapapa.
B. Go diving on its 29 islands.

When I was 12 years old,I spent most of my free time reading. But sadly,not everyone around meenjoyed reading as much as I did, and not being able to talk about my favorite hobby with my friends mademy reading a lonely experience.
In my senior year of high school, I came across a channel(频道), “Clau Reads Books” run by ClaudiaRamírez Lomelí,who makes book-related content in Spanish,and was introduced to the book world ofsocial media. I could finally hear someone else’s reaction to the stories I like. I love her videos because weprefer the same kind of books. Finally,I followed her on another social networking site, and I learnedabout the community on it where users blog(写博客) about their favorite books.I really wanted to bepart of this space and seeing others being closely connected and supportive made it seem like an acceptablecommunity. However, I doubted my ability to express my thoughts well because I was poor at creating content to interest other readers.
Therefore,I started reading blogs on how to start a new account(账号)for guidance and after weeks ofresearching, I learned about the necessary social media skills. I had to spend time designing small sets andfinding natural lighting and household items for photo shoots, and learn how to write interesting reviews whileusing hashtags(话题) in posts to attract other users.
My first post was a photo of my favorite book, Hush, Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick, with my hand’s shadow cast on a page. I also took pictures of several of my favorite sentences from the book and included a few hashtags to attract attention. Attracting people with similar interest was hard at first. But gradually, it became kid’s stuff. The community quickly became a good place for me to talk about my favorite books with people having the same interest.
24. Why did the 12-year-old author feel upset
A. She couldn’t spare time for play.
B. No one around her liked reading.
C. She couldn’t share her love of reading.
D. No friend was fond of her favorite book.
25. What can we learn about Claudia Ramírez Lomelí
A. She comes from Spain.
B. She taught the author how to blog.
C. She hosts a TV program.
D. She led the author to a new book world.
26. What is mainly talked about in paragraph 3
A. Skills of choosing suitable hashtags.
B. The author’s efforts to attract viewers.
C. Guidance on starting new accounts.
D. The author’s skills for creating content.
27. What does the author think of attracting people with similar interest now
A. It is easily done. B. It is hard for kids.
C. It is easier said than done. D. It needs topics about kids.
C
A fisherman from Portland, Maine, the US, caught a very rare bright blue lobster(龙虾) off the coast of Maine but chose to set it free back into the ocean. The photo of the blue lobster was shared by Lars-Johan Larsson. “This blue lobster was caught off the coast of Portland yesterday and returned to the water to continue to grow. Blue lobsters are one in two million,” he wrote.
While the shells of lobsters are generally red or brown in color, the blue shell is a result of gene mutation(基因突变), which causes the lobster to produce more of a particular protein than other lobsters, leading to the rare (罕见的) blue color, as reported by the Toronto Sun.
Yellow, orange and crystal-colored lobsters are considered even rarer than bright blue ones. According to the Lobster Institute, yellow lobsters are one in 30 million of the total population. Two fishermen in Dorset caught a crystal-colored lobster in 2011.
“Whatever the possibility of catching different-colored lobsters, there is no doubt that bright blue ones are truly beautiful creatures,” said Rob Bayer, executive director of the University of Maine Lobster Institute. “They might not be the most unusual, but they’re absolutely the best to look at.”
It’s become something of a trend for restaurants to spare blue lobsters. Austin Hopley, a chef at “The Hare” in Rochdate, the UK, made the news for sparing a bright blue lobster. He gave it to Sea Life in Manchester, as reported by the BBC.
“Now it’s there for people to enjoy,” said Hopley. “I felt responsible. Something so rare didn’t require a place on the menu. Every species deserve a fair chance at survival.”
Expert Brendan Malone from Sea Life said, “It is certainly an impressive finding and worth saving to try to educate the public about these amazing creatures in the ecosystem.”
What is the root cause for the color of blue lobsters
A. Gene change. B. Adaptation failure.
C. A specific protein. D. A mix of red and brown.
29. What does Rob Bayer think of blue lobsters
A. They are the rarest. B. They are easy to catch.
C. They are delicious to eat. D. They are most beautiful.
30. What does the underlined word “spare” in Paragraph 5 mean
A.serve B. save C. sort D. set
31. Why was Hopley unwilling to cook the blue lobster
A. It wouldn’t make a good dish.
B. He wanted to follow the trend.
C. He took on responsibility to protect it.
D. It would bring him fame and profits.
D
Intelligence is traditionally viewed as the ability to think and learn.Yet in a complex world, there’s another set of cognitive (认知的) skillsthat might matter more: the ability to rethink. Therefore, my aim in this book is to explore how rethinking happens by seeking out the most convincing evidence and some of the world’s most skilled rethinkers.
The first section focuses on opening our own minds. You’ll find out why a forward-thinking businessman got trapped in the past, how a Nobel Prize-winning scientist welcomes the joy of being wrong, how the world’s best forecasters update their views, and how an Oscar-winning filmmaker has productive fights.
The second section examines how we can encourage other people to think again. You’ll learn how an international debate champion wins arguments and an African-American musician persuades people to abandon discrimination (歧视). You’ll discover how a special kind of listening helped an officer convince the opposing side to join in peace talks. And if you’re a yankees fan, I’m going to see if I can convince you to support the Red Sox.
The third section is about how we can create communities of lifelonglearners. In social life, a lab that focuses on difficult conversations will cast light on how we can communicate better about debated problems like climate change. In schools, you’ll find out how educators teach kids to think again by treating classrooms like museums, and doing projects like rewriting time-honored textbooks. I close by examining the importance of reconsidering our best-laid plans.
This book is an invitation to let go of knowledge and opinions that are no longer serving you well, and to establish your sense of self in flexibility rather than consistency(一致性). If you can master the art of rethinking, I believe you’ll be more likely to achieve success at work and happiness in life.Thinking again can help you generate new solutions to old problems and review old solutions to new problems. It’s a path to learning more from the people around you and living with fewer regrets.
How does the author explain his or her ideas in the book
A. By quoting famous sayings. B. By providing various examples.
C. By presenting research results. D. By reviewing traditional theories.
33. Which of the following is probably covered in the second section
A. Showing an athlete a detailed training plan.
B. Helping a student with a complex math problem.
C. Talking a friend into trying a different dressing style.
D. Guiding an employee to build a successful career plan.
34. What does the author suggest readers do in the third section
A. Find faults in textbooks. B. Reflect on existing ideas.
C. Engage in climate debates. D. Change classroom decorations.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Rethinking: Find New Ways to Success
B. Intelligence: the Ability to Think and Learn
C. How Can We Adapt to a Complex World
D. Why does Rethinking Improve Intelligence

阅读短文内容, 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。
Learning English, or any language, can be a challenging but rewarding experience. To make progress, you need to make a lot of effort and develop the right habits.
Make a plan and set realistic goals. Planning your learning day by day and week by week can be rewarding and can make it easier to measure your progress.36For example, you might aim to learn five new linking expressions next week (realistic) rather than to master academic writing (extremely unrealistic).
Record new vocabulary in an easy and practical way. As language lessons are often based on a particular theme, it’s a good idea to organize vocabulary by topic. Experiment with different ways of recording vocabulary, including word-cards and mind maps, and see what works best for you. 37
Be active and manage your own learning.38Be determined to use the language and grammar your teacher has presented. Making mistakes is a natural part of the learning process so don’t let that stop you. By being active and taking control of your own learning, you’ll soon start to see results.
39Go through the notes you took in a certain class and try memorizing as much as possible. Then, write to see how much you can recall. Repeat the process until you’ve memorized all the things you set at the beginning of the task.
Find fun in English to watch, read and listen to. The English language is truly global and the opportunities to read or listen to it are endless.40 Get into the habit of watching TV shows or movies, listening to songs and radio shows, and reading books and magazines in English.
A. Remember where you get started.
B. Review self-study notes regularly.
C. This is especially true if you set realistic goals.
D. When in class, try to participate as much as possible.
E. However, it’s important to make sure the topics are ones that interest you.
F. You should also take down the different forms, uses and pronunciation of particular words.
G.To succeed in English learning, you also need to develop a good habit of learning grammar.

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。
It was late December. It was the great Christmas shopping time. I asked my son and daughter to go together, but they preferred to play at home.
People were busy buying gifts for their beloved ones. It seemed that the bigger the gifts were, the better they would be. I shook my head sadly and walked on. I was shopping alone, trying to pick up some thick winter socks to warm my frozen feet.
As I rounded the corner in the store, I saw a Christmas tree full of paper angels (天使). On each angel was the name of a needy child whose family couldn’t afford to buy them a gift that year. Shoppers who picked an angel could buy a simple toy or gift. The store would wrap it and send it to the child that Christmas.
Around the tree, I saw a teenage boy and girl picking out several angels. Their mother was smiling while she watched them. I walked up next to her and started talking with her. She told me that her children started this several years ago when she first explained to them what the Charity Angel tree was for. Each offered to give up one of their toys that year, so that a needy child could have one. It didn’t stop then, though. From then on, the kids had saved money they earned throughout the year and bought more and more children the gifts they wouldn’t have otherwise. It had become a family tradition.
