On your next vacatio ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n, why not treat yourself and your family to a vacation home rental Just turn your dream into reality—You can get relaxed in a hammock (吊床)outside the countryside house you have taken on rent, enjoying the soft wind blowing through the trees and listening to the birds singing. Indeed, a vacation can become extra special by choosing a vacation home rental at a destination of your choice.
Vacation home rentals ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) come in all sorts of shapes, sizes and prices, from quaint (古雅的)houses by the lake to luxurious (豪华的)beachfront homes right at the edge of the sea. It could be a traditional stone house in the highlands of Scotland, or an apartment in the middle of a city of your choice. You can get home rentals that are fit for single or more families, some you can get for short-term rentals. The prices of these vacation home rentals vary according to the location and the size.
Many vacationers are ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )realizing that it is far more advantageous to stay at a vacation home rental and are choosing to do so whenever they travel on vacation. Some of the essential factors they look for are only available in vacation homes. For instance, apart from the extra space,there is the choice to cook in the kitchen, and eat meals in the dining room. Many vacation homes also have private swimming pools.
What’s more, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )people can maintain their own routines, having the freedom to come and go as they please, without having to be subject to hotel rules and regulations. In addition, when people travel in families or in groups, vacation home rentals turn out far cheaper than hotels, which charge per head. In fact, a vacation home is a home away from home, which a hotel room can never be.

I often watch telev ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ision or go to movies or parties on weekends. But on a recent Saturday night, I, along with a few other people was invited to take part in an unusual, activity at a public park in Bethesda, Maryland by one of my neighbors. It was said that the International Space Station would pass overhead that night.
The park had few ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lights to compete with stars and other objects in the sky, which made it possible to find the International Space Station much easier without using some special equipment.
At the park, we g ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )athered among children’s swings and toy cars. We sought to identify the stars and planets in the clear night sky. Suddenly,one person shouted, “Hey,there it is. “He pointed at the yellow, red and blue lights sailing through the night. But finally we were told that it was an airplane. “Isn’t that it ” soon cried another watcher She caught sight of an object as it moved through the skies. But that also was a plane. We became worried that perhaps we had missed the sighting.
Paul Monte-Bovi, a ret ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ired television engineer, served there as a kind of guide and host for the event. He told us the ISS didn’t arrive. Mr Monte-Bovi owns three telescopes and loves observing the sky. In order to help us find the ISS, he explained,“The light of the ISS looks bright white. It does not show up as the color of the stars and other objects in the sky. It does look like an airplane, but it does not have flashing lights.”
At last we fo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )und the ISS moving gradually from the northwest to the southeast. As was promised, the station appeared at the predicted time. That night, we observed it at 7:44 pm Eastern Daylight Time, and we saw it for about four minutes. We all shouted happily when we saw it.

D. The large number of people.

Louis Armstrong was ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) America’s greatest jazz musician. He was born in New Orleans, the birthplace of jazz. His father left the family shortly after Louis was born, so the boy had to spend his early years living with his grandmother.
Louis loved all k ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )inds of music. He bought an old comet (短号)and learned how to play. When he was in the third grade he dropped out of school and started singing on the streets to get money for his family.
Louis spent his teen ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )age years selling newspapers and unloading bananas from boats. In his free time he listened to the songs of the famous bands of that time. Later on, he started performing on steamboats and during this period he learned how to read music and play classical pieces on the comet.
In 1922 Louis star ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ted playing in a band in Chicago and later on moved to New York, where he played in one of the city's most famous bands. No one else could play like him. He hit the highest note easily and played great solos.
After a few years i ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n New York he went back to Chicago where he made his first recording. "There he started playing the trumpet. During one of the recordings Louis dropped his text on the floor. The producer told him to keep on singing, so Louis improvised (即兴表演)and sang syllables that had no meaning. This became known as “scat singing (才以声唱法)”Soon many other jazz musicians tried to copy this style of singing.
His records mad ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e him famous and when he moved back to New York in 1929, bandleaders all over the city wanted to have Louis in their orchestras.
He not only recorde ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d music, but also performed on Broadway and played in movies. Louis Armstrong had a natural ability to sing and dance well. He traveled all over the world and made people happy through his music.
28. What happened to Louis Armstrong after he was born
A. His grandmother passed away.
B. His father left the family.
C. He moved to New York.
D. His father passed away.
29. Which is NOT the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )way for little Armstrong to get money for his family
A. Selling newspapers.
B. Performing on the boats.
C. Reading music.
D. Singing on the streets.
30. Armstrong hit the highest notes and played great solos in______.

Many animals i ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n the world have become endangered. Here are some of them.
The Baiji (白鳍豚)only ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) lives in the Yangtze River in China. Therefore, it is called the Yangtze River Dolphin. In research that was done several years ago, it was found that only three Yangtze River Dolphins existed. This was a very alarming situation, but this news didn’t make any fisherman stop catching dolphins for a living. Since 1986, five natural reserves along the middle and lower areas of the Yangtze River have been established. However, these reserves have not been effective in preventing incidental deaths of the Yangtze River Dolphins.
There are only 40 A ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )mur leopards (远东豹)left alive in the world. Poaching is a very big problem for them because their beautiful fur is liked by many people. As poaching continues, more and more Amur leopards will be killed. This, of course, will result in their worldwide extinction. Therefore, people should refuse to use products made from their fur to protect them from vanishing.
Rhinoceros is the mo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )st endangered species in the world. It is believed that there are only less than fifty Javan Rhinoceros left alive. They can only be found in Indonesia and Vietnam. The continuous ugly actions of human beings and the worrying climate change will undoubtedly wipe out the Javan Rhinoceros sooner than expected.
Only 500 Siberian tige ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rs are still alive in the world. It is further predicted that they will be totally extinct by the year 2050 if man still continues with their today’s actions and activities. Some of these activities of human beings are forest destruction and poaching. Despite the protection programs established by non—government sectors and government officials to save the Siberian tigers, poaching has still been a threat to their lives.
We all should do w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hat we can to protect endangered animals. Remember, we share the same home.
32. Though there were only three Yangtze River Dolphins, _______.
A. incidental deaths of them have greatly dropped
B. peopled environmental awareness has been raised
C. fishermen didn’t change their way of making a living
D. five natural reserves were built to protect them
33. What does the underlined word “vanishing” in Paragraph 3 mean
A. Screaming.
B. Spreading.
C. Disappearing.
D. Increasing.
pared with a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ll the others in the world, Javan Rhinoceros is_______.
A. better protected
B. more endangered
C. more dangerous
D. more widely found
35. It can be inferred from the passage that_______.
A. the above animals are the most endangered ones in the world
B. more and more people are trying to protect wild animals
C. poaching is the c ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ause of the decreasing number of the above animals
D. human activities are responsible for endangering the above animals

Spring is a good ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )time for exercise. Here are some ideas you can use to get moving on your fitness goals in spring. 36
You can go for a r ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )un or a hike. If you’re lucky enough to live near hiking trails(小路),put on your shoes and hit the road. The time outside will refresh your brain and get you excited for summer. Besides, hiking is truly an at-your-pace sport. 37 Of course, if you’re very strong, you can pick a longer, more challenging trail or just take the hike a bit quicker.
38 If you’re lucky ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) enough to live near a beach,then you can go to nature’s best gym. Of course, not everybody lives close to sand. Fortunately, there are a lot of parks nowadays that have free exercise equipment. You can go to such parks and make good use of the exercise equipment there.
You can do som ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e exercise at work and at home. For the busier among us, finding even 30 minutes at a time can be difficult. 39 Research shows that you don’t have to do it all at once to get the Ml benefit. If you can fit in 10 minutes before working, 10 on your lunch break and then 10 later on, that’s enough.
40 If you li ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ve near gyms, you can get your hands on equipment and classes that most people pay for — completely free to you. Most gyms offer trial memberships of one to two weeks to get people in the door, without asking for payment information. In fact, depending on your area, it may be possible to get a good couple of months’ worth of gym time for free.
A. You can go to beaches and parks.
B. Here are some very good tips for you.
C. You can find free equipment and classes.
D. What about 10 minutes,three times a day

When I was young, I w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )as very shy. I could 61 (bare) look at anyone in the eye. 62 only way I was able to break through that shell, at the time, was dancing.

The first 69 (perform) was scary; but once it was over, we proved our-selves and others that we could do it. I made wonderful friends, and they helped me a lot. Even now, 70 (look) back on it, almost six years later, I can’t believe I was given that opportunity.

书面表达(One possible version):
Failure is the mother of success
Failure is ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )a common matter. No matter who we are, we will all experience failure at some point. However, different attitudes towards failure will cause different results. As everybody knows, every man has his faults. There is no doubt that we will go through failure when we are on the way to success.
As middle school ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) students, there are never- ending exams, in which few can do well all the time. If we don’t do well, we shouldn’t lose heart. Instead, we should believe in ourselves, trying to find out the cause so that we won’t make the same mistakes next time.
