Welcome to Cape Town — the city that has everything!
About two million tourists visit Cape Town every year. It isn’t the capital city (that’s Pretoria), and it isn’t the biggest city either (that’s Johannesburg), but Cape Town is South Africa’s most popular city with tourists for its many attractions and activities. From the beautiful views and sunny beaches to great shopping, Cape Town has something for everyone. In fact, a vacation in Cape Town is unforgettable!
Adventure (冒险) & outdoors
For the outdoor adventurer or sports fan, Cape Town has a lot of activities from climbing to diving (潜水)?—?all combined with fantastic settings and sunny skies.
Water sports & diving
Cape Town’s beaches are perfect for water sports. Scuba diving is also popular. The many shipwrecks (失事船只) along the coastline offer some excellent dives. The more adventurous diver can even try shark cage (鲨鱼笼) diving to get eye-to-eye with a great white! If you aren’t so adventurous, try a visit to Boulders Beach. It’s part of a protected area for the African penguin. You can walk around on wooden roads and watch the penguins in their natural environment. It’s great for swimming too, if you don’t mind coming face-to-face with a penguin or two!
Cape Town’s weather is pleasant. In summer, it’s about 26℃?(and remember, mid-summer here is January!), and the winter temperatures don’t usually fall below 10℃. The local money is the rand. There are one hundred cents to every rand. The three main languages are Xhosa, English and Afrikaans. The population of Cape Town is about 3.5 million.

Three years ago I worked for a few weeks as a doctor in a new dental clinic (牙科诊所) at Victor Harbor, to the south of Adelaide and an hour further away than my usual workplace. My first day there was a rush?—?driving to a new clinic and getting used to the clinical environment.
As it was all new to me, I took off my rings: my wedding ring, and one that was an anniversary (周年纪念日) gift from my husband. I put them in a tissue (纸巾) and placed them beside my computer. During my lunch break, I noticed the tissue and thought that it did not look very clean and threw it into the rubbish bin. I went about my work and my day went well; I met new patients and felt that I had been productive.
Driving home at the end of the day, just moments before I reached my house, I noticed that my rings were missing. I felt the heat in my body rise, my cheeks (脸颊) burning red. I felt sick to my stomach.
I spent an hour or so making calls, trying to find my rings. The first people I called were my manager and clinical leader and they gave me a few phone numbers for cleaners. I got in touch with a lady who managed the cleaning services for the clinic, and she told me that the bins had already been collected.
I knew nothing could be done now. I had lost my rings. But after two or so hours, I received the most amazing phone call. The cleaner had gone through the bins and found my rings! I was so thankful to her, someone who had taken the trouble to go through the bins — which is not a pleasant task — to find my priceless rings.
I worked at that clinic the following day, so I bought chocolates to thank this wonderful person. Unfortunately I did not get to meet her as she was not at work that day.
24. What can we say about the author’s first day at the clinic?
A. Disorganized but special.?

C. An act of kindness can mean a lot.????
D. Where there is a will, there is a way.

C
Students at St. Peter’s Lutheran School are helping fight hunger in Guatemala by volunteering (自愿参加) with Love the Hungry, a non-profit (非营利的) organization.
The school’s student body helped package (包装) 20,000 meals for the organization based in Louisville, Kentucky.
St. Peter’s Lutheran has worked with the organization over the last few years. But this year it provided more help by asking a larger part of its students to take part, said Scott Krueger, a parent of three daughters who attend the school.
Students wearing gloves lined up on both sides of tables set up in the school’s gym as part of the packaging step. The job required scooping (舀取) food such as rice and other food from a large box that were provided by Love the Hungry.
Krueger, who also was volunteering for Love the Hungry, said he felt it was important for students to take part in it and see the importance of their work during the Sept. 13 event.?
“This is one way to try to give back,” Krueger said.
Love the Hungry, which was created in 2012, gives great attention to packaging healthy meals that can prevent malnutrition (营养不良) in young children, said Dale Oelker, the director.
Other than Guatemala, Love the Hungry also offers food to Nicaragua, El Salvador, Haiti and countries in West Africa such as Sierra Leone, Mali and Sudan.
Fifth-grader Sydney Johnson was among the hundreds of students who helped and said she felt it was important to make a difference for the hungry people.
“It makes me feel good how we all helped out,” Johnson said.
Love the Hungry plans to offer 100,000 to 150,000 meals to Guatemala before the end of the year, Oelker said.
“It’s a part of the world that this type of meal can really help,” said Oelker. “We are glad to work with St. Peter’s Lutheran School and it proves how volunteers of all ages can make a difference.”
28. What can we learn from Krueger’s words?
A. The job of the students was a bit difficult.
B. The event attracted more volunteers from the school.
C. The students realized the importance of giving back.?
D. Love the Hungry has a long history of helping the poor.?
29. How does Love the Hungry help fight hunger in Guatemala?
A. By offering food to the country’s kids.
B. By giving money to the country’s people.
C. By teaching the locals how to grow rice.
D. By providing packaged meals to the country.
30. What did Oelker express in the last paragraph?
A. His worries about the problem of hunger.
B. His thanks to the school and its students.
C. His pity for poor people around the world.
D. His pride in working for Love the Hungry.?
31. What is the purpose of the text?
A. To call on people to fight hunger.
B. To report a school’s volunteer work.
C. To introduce a non-profit organization.?
D. To discuss the problem of malnutrition.

D
Many people believe eating healthily is expensive — and more costly than buying junk foods. But our new research, published in the?BMC Public Health, shows this isn’t the truth.
Most of the Australian family food budget (预算) is being spent on junk foods and drinks that are high in fat, sugar and salt.
Less than 7% of Australians eat healthily. The Australian adults get at least 35% of their energy from junk foods and drinks. As a result, two-thirds of adults (63%) and one-quarter of children are overweight.
We used the Australian Health Survey 2011-2013 and the suggestions of the Australian Dietary Guidelines to model healthy diets for a family of two adults and two children every two weeks. We collected food prices in supermarkets and stores in high- and low-socioeconomic (社会经济地位低的) areas in Brisbane, and compared the diet prices with family incomes.
In both areas, a family of two adults and two children spend about 18% more on present diets than would be required to buy healthy diets. About 58% of the food budget for present diets is spent on junk foods, including takeaway foods (14%), and sugary drinks (4%).
In the low-socioeconomic area, a family of two adults and two children spend $640.20 every two weeks on their present diets, but could buy a healthy diet for $560.93 every two weeks. In the high-socioeconomic area, these numbers are $661.92 and $580.01.
Supermarket food prices were about 3% higher in the high-socioeconomic location. Takeaway foods were also relatively more expensive, but sugary drinks were priced similarly in both areas.
Present diets cost more than healthy diets, so causes other than price must be helping to drive preferences for unhealthy choices.
32. What did the researchers find?
A. Australians have a preference for sweet foods.
B. Most Australian kids have fat problems.
C. Half Australians live on junk foods.
D. Most Australians eat unhealthily.
33. How did the researchers get the result?
A. By making a comparison.
B. By doing the study online.
C. By carrying out interviews.
D. By asking personal questions.
34. What can we learn from Paragraph 5?
A. Australian foods are healthier.
B. A healthy diet is actually cheaper.
C. Health foods are becoming more expensive.
D. People choose junk foods for their low prices.
35. What might a following paragraph be about?
A. The harm of junk foods.
B. How we can eat healthily.
C. Why people choose junk foods.
D. The advantages of a healthy diet.

A
For the past five years, the Bartz brothers (Connor, Austin, and Trevor) of New Brighton, Minnesota, have built beautiful snow sculptures in their front yard. But they’re not your ordinary snowmen — they’re huge and sea-themed!
The tradition began in 2012, after a family fishing trip in Florida, where Austin, then 17, caught a puffer fish. It encouraged the boys to make a super-sized fish out of snow. So they got to work, collecting as much snow as possible from around their neighborhood. After eight hours of shoveling (用铲子铲) and sculpting snow, their 5-foot-tall puffer fish was complete. And it was a big hit! Before long, the locals and TV reporters began stopping by their front yard to enjoy their creation.
“Each winter, we decide which sea animals would work best and be the most fun to build,”?Trevor said. Since 2012, they’ve made a shark, a turtle, an octopus (章鱼) and so on. Their favorite is the octopus, which they built in 2016. It is their biggest sculpture yet, taking nearly 500 hours (and 150 tons of snow) to make!
The brothers also made sure it was just as much fun for visitors.?“We liked that it was kid-friendly, with tentacles (触须) you could slide (滑) under,”?Connor said. Named by Facebook fans, Octavius the octopus was a star, appearing on national news stations.
To make the most of their project, the boys decided to raise money for a good cause. “Given that our work is made from snow, it made sense to collect money to help provide drinking water to people in need,” Austin said. They teamed up with One Day’s Wages, an organization that provides clean water to people in Haiti. By the end of winter, the brothers had raised $17,263!
Their advice for anyone with big dreams: “If you want to be successful, work hard and have a good attitude,” Austin said. “Success might not come immediately, but take joy in what you are doing now. When we were younger, we made many snow creations that did not make the news, but we still had a pleasurable experience!”
1. Which of the following made the Bartz brothers start their creations?
A. A fish caught by Austin.
B. Their family traditions.
C. Austin’s snowmen.
D. Their neighbors.
2. What can we learn about Octavius the octopus?
A. It attracted great attention.
B. It was the boys’ first creation.
C. It was the boys’ smallest sculpture.???
D. It helped the boys make a lot of money.
3. What advice did the Bartz brothers offer to people?
A. Think twice.
B. Learn to be creative.
C. Make use of everything.???
D. Start small and have fun.
4. Which of the following can best describe the Bartz brothers?
A. Childish and friendly.
B. Open-minded and smart.
C. Imaginative and helpful.?
D. Hard-working and courageous.

B
New Zealand has a pest (有害动物) problem. The country has a plan to solve it. The country’s leaders want to kill rats and other predatory mammals (肉食性哺乳动物) by 2050.
In New Zealand, rats are an invasive species? (入侵物种). Long ago, rats came to the country on boats, with humans, in the 13th century. When they were introduced to the island’s environment, the rats ate?—?and, scientists believe, finally killed off?—?several bird species.
Humans also brought other mammals, like stoats and possums. Stoats?—?which are similar to weasels?—?were introduced to eat another invasive mammal population: rabbits. Instead, the stoats fed on native (本地的) species. Possums were brought to New Zealand for their fur (毛皮). But their population also grew quickly out of control. Possums feed on the eggs and young of native birds. They also cause damage to forests.
One of the reasons invasive mammal populations grew so quickly is that New Zealand is home to almost no native mammals. Most of its native species are birds. Many of these birds, including the kiwi, cannot fly. That is a big problem for the birds. They cannot fly to safety. As a result, several of New Zealand’s birds are close to dying out.
Killing predatory mammals is not new for New Zealand. The country has killed off rats on some of its smaller islands. In those places, bird species that were in danger of dying out have begun to?flourish.
New Zealand hopes to improve upon the methods used in those small areas. The government plans to spend more than $20 million on the project. The money will pay for research, technology, and tools to kill off the animals.
It is a big goal. But scientists say it can be met. “I really do think it’s possible,” says James Russell, a scientist at the University of Auckland in New Zealand. “It will require people working in every corner of the country.”
5. What is the purpose of New Zealand’s plan?
A. To save native birds.
B. To drive mammals away.?
C. To do research on pests.
D. To control rabbit population.
6. Why were possums introduced to New Zealand?
A. To kill rabbits.
B. To make money.
C. To protect forests.
D. To catch weasels.
7. What does the underlined word “flourish” in Paragraph 5 mean?
A. Increase. ????????
B. Appear.
C. Change.??????????????????
D. Drop.
8. What is Russell’s attitude towards this plan?
A. He is against it.
B. He is confident of it.
C. He has doubts about it.
D. He shows no interest in it.

One possible version:
Dear Fred,
I’m glad to hear from you. I’d like to tell you the changes to my hometown in the past ten years.
My hometown used to be poor with farming being the only source of income. Most of the young people had to find jobs far away from their homes. However, in the last ten years, great changes have taken place. First, the local government has helped much to develop the tourism which has become the main income of people now. Second, with the environment and? transportation being improved, many companies have been set up here and people don’t have to work far away from their homes. We’re now living a happy life in our hometown.
Please write and tell me something about your hometown. I’m looking forward to your next letter.
??Yours,?

第二部分：?阅读理解?（共两节，满分40分）
第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
A
Sundays, I walk to the supermarket. Mother hands me the grocery list and puts money in my pocket, hoping it will be enough. She's had a hard day, and I've had a hard week. Nothing out of the ordinary happens when I get to the store. I grab the bread, some milk, and other things on the list. As I turn to head out, I see a beautiful dress in the window. I turn away, bitter that I could never own such a dress.
Outside, I cannot stop thinking about that pretty dress. It's not fair that I can never have what I want. I work so hard to help my family and yet I get nothing in return, just another list to do. In my anger, I fail to realize the apples are rolling (滚动) across the road. Suddenly, I see a pair of hands, offering me an apple. Looking up, I see the tanned (晒黑的) face of this stranger. His clothes are mismatched, borrowed or stolen. But his eyes are soft and kind.
“Thanks,” I say. No other words are spoken as he continues to help me. I tell him “thank you” one more time and am on my way because I have many other things to finish. Suddenly, he says, “Have a good day, ma'am.” And then he gives me the biggest smile I have ever seen. Right then, he looks years younger — and I feel a fool.
Look at me, feeling sorry for myself because I don't get what I want! Do I not think others are in the same boat, or worse? There are worse things than not having a beautiful dress.
My mother will hand me the list today. I will make the same journey and probably see something I want but cannot have. But before I start to feel sorry for myself, I will remember the kind stranger with the big smile, and I will grab the last item (物品), and check out.

?????? One part of the world is still largely unexplored (未经探索). It is the deep sea. Over the years, many people have explored under the sea. But the first deep-sea divers (潜水员) wanted to find sunken treasure. They weren't really interested in studying the creatures of life there. Only recently have they begun to learn some of the mysteries of the sea.
?????? It's not easy to explore the deep sea. A diver must have a way of breathing underwater. He must be able to protect himself from great pressure (压力). The pressure of air is about 15 pounds on every square inch. But the pressure of water is about 1,300 pounds on every square inch!
The first diving suits (潜水服) were made of rubber. They had a metal helmet (头盔) with windows in it. The shoes were made of lead and weighed twenty pounds each! These suits let divers go down a few hundred feet, but they were no good for exploring the very deep waters. With a metal diving suit, a diver could go down 700 feet. Metal suits were first used in the 1930s.
In 1927, a diver named William Beebe wanted to explore deeper than anyone had ever gone before. He was not interested in finding treasure. He wanted to study the creatures and plants of the sea. His friend invented a metal ball called the Bathysphere. It weighed more than 5,000 pounds, but in it Beebe went down 3,028 feet. He saw many things that had never been seen by humans before.
25. People who first explored the deep sea hoped to _____.
A. learn about the animals and plants of the sea
B. solve some mysteries about the sea
C. have an exciting trip in the sea
D. discover treasure under the sea
26. According to the text, what make(s) deep-sea diving difficult?
A. The pressure of water.?
B. The temperature of water.
C. The dangerous sea creatures.?
D. The heavy breathing equipment.?????
27. Compared with rubber diving suits, metal diving suits _____.
A. had windows in the metal helmet
B. weighed twenty more pounds
C. were good for exploring deeper waters
D. began to be used much earlier
28. What do we know about William Beebe from the text?
A. He broke the diving record in his time.
B. He failed to find the treasure he wanted.
C. He met something terrible under the sea.
D. He was the first diver to explore the deep sea.
C
One day, a patient came to see me. He worked as a waiter in a restaurant and his problem was acid reflux (胃酸倒流), a disease that influences as many as 40 percent of Americans, a marked increase in recent years. Reflux can lead to esophageal (食道的) cancer, which has increased by about 500 percent since the 1970s. The drugs we use to treat reflux don't always work and may even increase the risk of developing cancer when used long term.
What is responsible for these worrying developments? For one, our poor diet, with its huge increases in the intake of sugar, fat, soft drinks, and unhealthy foods. But another important fact has been?overlooked: dinnertime. Over the past twenty years, the time of my patients' evening meals has become later and later. Dinner?—?already pushed back by longer work hours?—?is often further delayed (推迟) by activities such as shopping and exercise.
In my experience, the single most important treatment for reflux is to avoid late eating. A patient with reflux came to see me because her father and uncle died of esophageal cancer, and she was afraid of getting it too. Her nightly routine (常规) included a 9 p.m. dinner with at least two bottles of red wine. The reflux was serious, and changes were needed.
She listened, then did not come back to see me for a year. “For the first two months, I just hated you,” she told me, “and for the next two months, I was having some trouble eating. I guessed I was going to die of esophageal cancer.” Then she added, “You know, we're the reason that it's not so easy to get 6 p.m. reservations (预约) at the good restaurants anymore.”
To stop the increase in reflux disease, we have to stop eating at least three hours before bed. As for my waiter patient? I told him to eat dinner before 7 p.m. Within six weeks, his reflux was gone.
29. The disease the waiter caught is _____.
A. on the rise
B. easy to control
C. unusual in America
D. the most dangerous cancer
30. What does the underlined word “overlooked” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Talked about a lot.
B. Paid no attention to.
C. Carefully looked into.
D. Taken into consideration.
31. Why did the woman patient hate the author?
A. He spoke of her dead father and uncle.
B. He asked her to change her eating habits.
C. He couldn't find a way to deal with her problem.
D. He couldn't make her healthy again within a year.
32. The author writes the text to tell us _____.
A. not to work late at night
B. to avoid eating at restaurants
C. unhealthy foods cause cancer
D. the danger of eating late at night
