Let’s pay a visit to some of the most amazing and unusual places in the world, from icy hotels to temples on the side of cliffs（悬崖）.
Hotel de Glace－Canada
If you don’t mind the cold, this igloo（冰屋）style hotel is certainly for you. Nearly everything, including the bedding, is made of ice! This hotel is so well insulated（隔热）that whatever the temperature outside is, the temperature inside never changes more than a few degrees. It’s around 23 degrees to be exact. Since it is made of ice, the hotel does have some dress requirements that can be found on their website. Arctic sleeping bags are provided for every guest, including children. For more information, visit the website: http://www.icehotelcanada.com.
The Tigers Nest Monastery－Bhutan
Built directly onto a cliff side, this ancient temple has claimed（声明）its spot since 1692. Rich in history, Tigers Nest is constructed around eight attractive caves on the mountainside. Most of the caves are easy to reach through the natural rock stairways. However, some are more difficult, and can only be reached by shaky rope bridges. Visit the website http://www.bhutantouroperators.net/taktsang-monastery.php for more information.
Dinosaur Provincial Park－Canada
Known to be one of the greatest fossil（标本）locations in the world, Dinosaur Provincial Park has nearly 500 specimens（标本）in all shapes and sizes. The park itself has a vast collection of fossils and a unique natural ecosystem. For more information, please visit http://tpr.alberta.ca/parks/dinosaur/index.aspx.
Leshan Giant Buddha－Sichuan China
The world’s largest Buddha sits on the edge of two great rivers. Construction is believed to have started around the year 713, and at the time of this construction it was the tallest carved statue in the world. All 233 feet of the statue was carved from the surrounding cliffs and preserved （保存）in amazing condition. Even the 2008 earthquake was not enough to shake it. Its website

Have you ever noticed that the more you have the more you want? Let’s face it. Thinking our life is good enough doesn’t come naturally to many people. When we have high expectations of everything in life we will run into disappointment. Only when we are aware that needs are different from desires can we live with satisfaction. Here are a few ideas to help you be happier with what you have and who you are.
Focus on what you are thankful for. Most people want things to be better than they are, or when things are going well, we forget to appreciate what we have. Learn to reflect（反映）on how much better things are than they could be. Focus on what you are thankful for. Write down 5 things you are grateful for right now.
When we hold onto regrets from decisions we have made, it can realty poison our well-being. Many people regret something they can no longer change, which ends up holding them back from moving forward in a more positive manner. What happened in the past is done and gone, so work to stay present and be mindful of the current （目前的）moment to find more joy and fulfillment（满足）.
When we use other people as the measuring stick for our personal success and quality of life we are likely to be less satisfied. Social comparisons can provide useful information when we try to learn from others, but they also hold our perspective（观点）in a discontented position. Compare yourself less with others so you can be satisfied more.
When you are focused on your big ambitions（抱负）and future goals you might elide the daily pleasures that surround you. Learn to slow down and absorb the wonder and beauty around you. Stay present and focus on the task you’re doing at the moment. Don’t let the life pass you by because you’re always on the go and distracted（分心）by ambition.
Practice looking at life through the lens of contentment（满意）and it will become more natural.
25. How can we live with contentment?
A. To change our lifestyle.
B. To have a motivation in life.
C. To give less attention to what we are grateful for.
D. To realize the difference between needs and desires.
26. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 3?
A. Make wise decisions. B. Know the present situation
C. Let go of regrets. D. Remember the past.
27. The underlined word “elide”（in Paragraph 5）probably means “ ”.
A. enjoy B. change C. invent D. neglect
28. What should you do to put yourself in a good mood?
A. Make time for simple pleasures. B. Learn from successful people.
C. Focus on your future goals. D. Create chance to learn more.
C
The trouble with school is that you can’t choose the people you get to see every day. If you’re unlucky enough to be stuck with classmates who don’t really “get” you, you’ve just got to try to make the best of it.
But that doesn’t mean you need to “fit in”, or at least in the way that people think. If you try to transform yourself into a clone of everyone else, it won’t help you make friends. It’ll just make you feel like a fake.
You also shouldn’t shut down or refuse to be friends with everyone who doesn’t like you. If you do that, you’ll just make yourself miserable. Instead, you’ve got to work on being comfortable and confident with whom you are while ignoring（忽略）all the haters. Keep on speaking up, asking questions and getting to know people better. If you send out positive energy, then people will generally send some back to you. A couple of them will stay the same, and you’re allowed to forget about them.
If you feel like you’ve doing all that but still not getting anywhere, then don’t give up. Just expand your circle. Get a part-time job at a cool-looking place, join an after-school art class or youth group—do whatever it takes to find a couple of like-minded people to connect with. Even if you don’t find anyone right away, you’ll still be getting some more social experiences under your belt, and that’s always a good thing.
A fun book called Uncool, by Erin Elisabeth Conley, has some tips for folks like you who want to stay positive at school while being true to your personality:
? Throw caution to the wind.
? Don’t tolerate others’ mistakes.
? Have patience with people who are different from you.
? Don’t change just because someone else thinks you should.
? Know that even though you may be a misfit, there’s always some place where you will be welcomed in the world.
29. According to the author, what should you do if you meet people who don’t appreciate you?
A. Just give up. B. Ask someone else for help.
C. Show positive attitude toward them D. Try your best to fit in with them.
30. The author agrees that you should take part in more activities in order to .
A. get more chances of making friends B. lay a better foundation for your future jobs
C. transform yourself into a clone. D. make you feel like a fake.
31. In the book Uncool, Erin Elisabeth Conley thinks you should .
A. always be kind to your friends B. keep your own personality
C. tolerate others’ mistakes D. help improve characters of others
D
No rows of desks in this classroom, and no teacher lecturing at the front. In fact, that’s something Barrie teacher Liz Collett rarely does. Instead, she’s on the move, talking to students about their work, from the small group sitting on the floor playing games to others nearby figuring out a math problem.
The children in this class do not take a spelling test all year－in fact, the school avoids all pencil-and-paper tests－nor do they get assigned homework. Instead, their teacher gives them immediate feedback（反馈）on their work throughout the day.
Welcome to the school of the 21st century, a place where teachers and students cooperate all the time. Such advanced classrooms are trying things, which some might consider as coddling kids－letting students give a voice-recorded essay instead of a written one or even allowing teens to design their own courses.
Though some people blame（谴责）schools for dumbing things down（降低教育标准）, others will say such changes are actually based on the newest research on how to attract today’s youth and increase not only their interests, but also their achievements. Many of today’s school are not holding kid’s interests. And if they Ye not interested, they’re not learning－and isn’t that the point?
“Students today say they want their education to be useful and valuable, and don’t want it to be simply repeating the facts. That’s the kind of learning that be happening for many kids,” says Penny Milton, a researcher. “What we could argue is that to become good learners, they need to become thinkers.”
Jan Olson, anther researcher, says schools have been operating the same way since the Industrial Revolution. But the digital age is bringing an education revolution. While using technology is a part of it, what’s important for students is being able to use information and understand it, not just remembering it.
Today’s learner needs fewer traditional tests and more “effective” feedback, ongoing discussion with a teacher, which studies have found is the number one factor in Improving achievement.
32. The first two paragraphs are used to .
A. blame Liz for not being responsible for her work
B. describe what schools are like in the 21st century
C. give an example of a successful school lesson
D. question whether it is right not to assign homework
33. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 means “some people may think it as a way of ”
A. spoiling children B. making children become lazy
C. leading children to make mistakes D. caring about children
34. Jan Olson thinks it important for students to .
A. repeat the facts without really thinking B. learn something related to technology
C. make full use of information D. use technology to improve their grades
35. Which is the most effective way to help students achieve more?
A. Assigning more homework B. Offering immediate answers.
C. Giving more pencil and paper tests. D. Holding more discussions with them.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。
We often close ourselves off when painful events happen in our lives. Instead of letting the world soften us, we let it drive us deeper into ourselves. We try to ignore the hurt and, pain, but we can’t hide from ourselves. 36
The items listed below are four tips you can open your heart more fully and completely.
1. Breathe into pain
Whenever a painful situation arises （出现）in your life, try to face it instead of running away. 37 . When the sadness strikes, take a deep breath and accept it. By using our breath we soften our experiences and allow more newness.
2. 38
We’re often confused （困惑的）at the next step to take. Actually, we can try a new decision making process. To start this process, we may ask, “Heart, what decision should I make here? What action feels the most right?” See what comes up, then put it into practice and evaluate（评价）the outcome.
3. Spend time alone
For most of our lives we’re surrounded by people: our friends, family members, and strangers. 39 When you spend time in solitude（孤独）, you’re free from the influences of other people. It might be painful at first, but eventually you’ll add a whole new understanding into your life.
4. Get outside of yourself
40 But in reality, they actually work hand-in-hand. After you’ve explored the depths of yourself, you come away with a new understanding.
Now, it’s time to share that —not through telling others, but through being with others.
A. Have a light heart
B. Ask your heart what it wants
C. Is there anything I’m hiding from myself?
D. How often do we really spend time alone?
E. This may seem a little contradictory（对立的）to the last tip.
F. We should open our hearts and take action to heal（使愈合）the wounds.
G. When we run away from sadness, it gets stronger and more real.

[One possible version ]
Dear Ms Li,
I am very happy to have you as our English teacher.
As the world is becoming a global village, English is getting more and important, so mastering English means we can see the world through a new window.
My English is just OK and the two main problems in my study are that I feel it difficult to learn words by heart, and that I often feel nervous when speaking English. I really hope that you can give me good advice on how to memorize new words. Another suggestion is to give us more chances to practise speaking. I believe we can make much progress in English with your help.
Thank you!

Hotel de Glace－Canada
If you don’t mind the cold, this igloo（冰屋）style hotel is certainly for you. Nearly everything, including the bedding, is made of ice! This hotel is so well insulated（隔热）that whatever the temperature outside is, the temperature inside never changes more than a few degrees. It’s around 23 degrees to be exact. Since it is made of ice, the hotel does have some dress requirements that can be found on their website. Arctic sleeping bags are provided for every guest, including children. For more information, visit the website: http://www.icehotelcanada.com.
The Tigers Nest Monastery－Bhutan
Built directly onto a cliff side, this ancient temple has claimed（声明）its spot since 1692. Rich in history, Tigers Nest is constructed around eight attractive caves on the mountainside. Most of the caves are easy to reach through the natural rock stairways. However, some are more difficult, and can only be reached by shaky rope bridges. Visit the website http://www.bhutantouroperators.net/taktsang-monastery.php for more information.
Dinosaur Provincial Park－Canada
Known to be one of the greatest fossil（标本）locations in the world, Dinosaur Provincial Park has nearly 500 specimens（标本）in all shapes and sizes. The park itself has a vast collection of fossils and a unique natural ecosystem. For more information, please visit http://tpr.alberta.ca/parks/dinosaur/index.aspx.
Leshan Giant Buddha－Sichuan China

All 233 feet of the statue was carved from the surrounding cliffs and preserved （保存）in amazing condition. Even the 2008 earthquake was not enough to shake it. Its website

Have you ever noticed that the more you have the more you want? Let’s face it. Thinking our life is good enough doesn’t come naturally to many people. When we have high expectations of everything in life we will run into disappointment. Only when we are aware that needs are different from desires can we live with satisfaction. Here are a few ideas to help you be happier with what you have and who you are.
Focus on what you are thankful for. Most people want things to be better than they are, or when things are going well, we forget to appreciate what we have. Learn to reflect（反映）on how much better things are than they could be. Focus on what you are thankful for. Write down 5 things you are grateful for right now.
When we hold onto regrets from decisions we have made, it can realty poison our well-being. Many people regret something they can no longer change, which ends up holding them back from moving forward in a more positive manner. What happened in the past is done and gone, so work to stay present and be mindful of the current （目前的）moment to find more joy and fulfillment（满足）.
When we use other people as the measuring stick for our personal success and quality of life we are likely to be less satisfied. Social comparisons can provide useful information when we try to learn from others, but they also hold our perspective（观点）in a discontented position. Compare yourself less with others so you can be satisfied more.
When you are focused on your big ambitions（抱负）and future goals you might elide the daily pleasures that surround you. Learn to slow down and absorb the wonder and beauty around you. Stay present and focus on the task you’re doing at the moment. Don’t let the life pass you by because you’re always on the go and distracted（分心）by ambition.
Practice looking at life through the lens of contentment（满意）and it will become more natural.
25. How can we live with contentment?
A. To change our lifestyle.
B. To have a motivation in life.
C. To give less attention to what we are grateful for.
D. To realize the difference between needs and desires.
26. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 3?
A. Make wise decisions. B. Know the present situation
C. Let go of regrets. D. Remember the past.
27. The underlined word “elide”（in Paragraph 5）probably means “ ”.
A. enjoy B. change C. invent D. neglect
28. What should you do to put yourself in a good mood?
A. Make time for simple pleasures. B. Learn from successful people.
C. Focus on your future goals. D. Create chance to learn more.
C
The trouble with school is that you can’t choose the people you get to see every day. If you’re unlucky enough to be stuck with classmates who don’t really “get” you, you’ve just got to try to make the best of it.
But that doesn’t mean you need to “fit in”, or at least in the way that people think. If you try to transform yourself into a clone of everyone else, it won’t help you make friends. It’ll just make you feel like a fake.
You also shouldn’t shut down or refuse to be friends with everyone who doesn’t like you. If you do that, you’ll just make yourself miserable. Instead, you’ve got to work on being comfortable and confident with whom you are while ignoring（忽略）all the haters. Keep on speaking up, asking questions and getting to know people better. If you send out positive energy, then people will generally send some back to you. A couple of them will stay the same, and you’re allowed to forget about them.
If you feel like you’ve doing all that but still not getting anywhere, then don’t give up. Just expand your circle. Get a part-time job at a cool-looking place, join an after-school art class or youth group—do whatever it takes to find a couple of like-minded people to connect with. Even if you don’t find anyone right away, you’ll still be getting some more social experiences under your belt, and that’s always a good thing.
A fun book called Uncool, by Erin Elisabeth Conley, has some tips for folks like you who want to stay positive at school while being true to your personality:
? Throw caution to the wind.
? Don’t tolerate others’ mistakes.
? Have patience with people who are different from you.
? Don’t change just because someone else thinks you should.
? Know that even though you may be a misfit, there’s always some place where you will be welcomed in the world.
29. According to the author, what should you do if you meet people who don’t appreciate you?
A. Just give up. B. Ask someone else for help.
C. Show positive attitude toward them D. Try your best to fit in with them.
30. The author agrees that you should take part in more activities in order to .
A. get more chances of making friends B. lay a better foundation for your future jobs
C. transform yourself into a clone. D. make you feel like a fake.
31. In the book Uncool, Erin Elisabeth Conley thinks you should .
A. always be kind to your friends B. keep your own personality
C. tolerate others’ mistakes D. help improve characters of others
D
No rows of desks in this classroom, and no teacher lecturing at the front. In fact, that’s something Barrie teacher Liz Collett rarely does. Instead, she’s on the move, talking to students about their work, from the small group sitting on the floor playing games to others nearby figuring out a math problem.
The children in this class do not take a spelling test all year－in fact, the school avoids all pencil-and-paper tests－nor do they get assigned homework. Instead, their teacher gives them immediate feedback（反馈）on their work throughout the day.
Welcome to the school of the 21st century, a place where teachers and students cooperate all the time. Such advanced classrooms are trying things, which some might consider as coddling kids－letting students give a voice-recorded essay instead of a written one or even allowing teens to design their own courses.
Though some people blame（谴责）schools for dumbing things down（降低教育标准）, others will say such changes are actually based on the newest research on how to attract today’s youth and increase not only their interests, but also their achievements. Many of today’s school are not holding kid’s interests. And if they Ye not interested, they’re not learning－and isn’t that the point?
“Students today say they want their education to be useful and valuable, and don’t want it to be simply repeating the facts. That’s the kind of learning that be happening for many kids,” says Penny Milton, a researcher. “What we could argue is that to become good learners, they need to become thinkers.”
Jan Olson, anther researcher, says schools have been operating the same way since the Industrial Revolution. But the digital age is bringing an education revolution. While using technology is a part of it, what’s important for students is being able to use information and understand it, not just remembering it.
Today’s learner needs fewer traditional tests and more “effective” feedback, ongoing discussion with a teacher, which studies have found is the number one factor in Improving achievement.
32. The first two paragraphs are used to .
A. blame Liz for not being responsible for her work
B. describe what schools are like in the 21st century
C. give an example of a successful school lesson
D. question whether it is right not to assign homework
33. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 means “some people may think it as a way of ”
A. spoiling children B. making children become lazy
C. leading children to make mistakes D. caring about children
34. Jan Olson thinks it important for students to .
A. repeat the facts without really thinking B. learn something related to technology
C. make full use of information D. use technology to improve their grades
35. Which is the most effective way to help students achieve more?
A. Assigning more homework B. Offering immediate answers.
C. Giving more pencil and paper tests. D. Holding more discussions with them.

2. 38
We’re often confused （困惑的）at the next step to take. Actually, we can try a new decision making process. To start this process, we may ask, “Heart, what decision should I make here? What action feels the most right?” See what comes up, then put it into practice and evaluate（评价）the outcome.
3. Spend time alone
For most of our lives we’re surrounded by people: our friends, family members, and strangers. 39 When you spend time in solitude（孤独）, you’re free from the influences of other people. It might be painful at first, but eventually you’ll add a whole new understanding into your life.
4. Get outside of yourself

Having passed the finally exams, I am busy planning a two-weeks trip to the US during this summer holiday. Do you have any suggestions about the choice of America cities?

Dear Ms Li,
I am very happy to have you as our English teacher.
As the world is becoming a global village, English is getting more and important, so mastering English means we can see the world through a new window.
My English is just OK and the two main problems in my study are that I feel it difficult to learn words by heart, and that I often feel nervous when speaking English. I really hope that you can give me good advice on how to memorize new words. Another suggestion is to give us more chances to practise speaking. I believe we can make much progress in English with your help.
Thank you!
