我们这个世界充满了奥秘，而且其中的一些似乎是永远的未解之谜。它们深深地吸引着我们去探索其背后的真相。
Monsters in Scotland
It is said that Nessie is a lake monster inhabiting Loch Ness in Scotland. This monster is one of the best-known cryptids(未知生物) studied by cryptology(密码学). Popular belief and interest in the animal has fluctuated over the years since it came to the world’s attention in 1933. Evidence of its existence is largely anecdotal(轶闻趣事的), with minimal, and much disputed，photographic material and sonar reading, there has not been any physical evidence(skeletal remains, capture of a live animal, definitive tissue samples or spoor) uncovered as of 2008.
A similar loch monster named Morag is reported to live in Loch Mora，Scotland. After Nessie herself，Morag is among the best-known of Scotland’s legendary monsters.
Secrets in Stone
Stonehenge is a group of huge stones in England. It was probably built about 5，000 years ago. So how did its makers manage to transport，shape，raise and connect the giant stones？Even more mysterious, how did they know how to position the stones in exactly the right spots to measure the movements of the sun and the moon? The answer is: no one knows.
There are megaliths, or big stones, all over the world. On Easter Island there are about 900 giant stone heads. The statues are from 3 to 12 metres high. Some weigh over 45 tons. That’s more than the weight of seven elephants! How did the statues get on Easter Island? A legend says they walked there. The mystery is still waiting to be solved.

The Monster① of Lake Tianchi
The “Monster of Lake Tianchi” in the Changbai Mountains in Jilin province, northeast China, is back in the news② after several recent sightings③.The director of a local tourist office, Meng Fanying, said the monster, which seemed to be④ black in colour, was ten metres from the edge of the lake during the most recent sighting.“It jumped out of the water like a seal⑤—about 200 people on Changbai’s western peak⑥ saw it，” he said.Although no one really got a clear look at⑦ the mysterious⑧ creature, Xue Junlin, a local photographer, claimed⑨ that its head looked like a horse.
In another recent sighting, a group of soldiers claim they saw an animal moving⑩ on the surface?of the water.The soldiers, who were walking along the side of the lake, watched the creature swimming? for about two minutes.“It was greenish-black and had a round head with? 10-centimetre horns? ”， one of the soldiers said.

天池里的怪物
在最近几次露面后，中国东北吉林省长白山的“天池怪物”又成了新闻。据当地的旅游办公室主任孟凡迎介绍，最近有人看见怪物就在离湖边10米的地方，它的颜色似乎是黑色的。他说：“大约有200人从长白山的西峰看见过怪物，它像海豹一样跃出水面。”尽管没有人真正看清楚过这个神秘生物的面目，但当地一位摄影师薛俊林声称，它的头看起来像马头。
最近还有一次，一群士兵声称，他们看见水面上有动物在游动。正在湖边行走的士兵们看见这个生物游了大约两分钟。其中一名士兵说：“它的颜色是墨绿色，圆形的头上有10厘米长的角。”
还有一则报道来自李小和，当时他和他的家人正在湖边游玩。他声称看见一个圆形、黑色的生物在湖面快速游过。三四百米后它潜入水中。10分钟后，怪物再次出现，并重复了相同的动作。李小和先生说他和他的家人都清楚地看见了怪物，因为当时天气好，湖水平静。
自上世纪初以来，一直有关于天池怪物的报道，尽管还不曾有人近距离目睹过。虽然有人拍到过怪物的一些照片，但由于距离太远，看起来模糊不清。许多人认为，这个怪物或许是苏格兰尼斯湖怪物的远房表亲。他们还认为，在世界其他地方的湖泊中也许有类似的生物。然而，科学家们表示怀疑。他们说，温度低的湖泊中不可能存活体形如此巨大的生物。
天池是世界上最高的火山湖。它的海拔是2 189米，面积约10平方千米。有的地方水深达370多米。

Is there something strange high up in the world’s tallest mountains？If so, is it a big bear？Is it a monkey? Or is it a kind of man?
No one knows. This mystery has puzzled the world for years.
In 1887, a mountain climber found large footprints in the snow. They looked like the footprints of a very large man. But men don’t walk without shoes in the snow.
In 1906, another climber saw more footprints. Far off, he saw a very large animal standing on two legs. As he watched, it ran very quickly.
Fifteen years later, newspapers had new stories about the “something”. A mountain climber said he had seen the“snow man” walk slowly across the snow, far below him. He said it looked like a very large man.
From then on，more and more people had stories to tell. But not until 1951 did a mountain climber bring back pictures of large footprints. The pictures showed clearly that the Snowman walked on two legs. So it was not a bear or a monkey. Could it be an ape(猿) man?
The mystery grew！And the mystery keeps growing. Someday we may find out just what it is that makes the large footprints.

Ever wondered why fresh fruits and vegetables are the first thing you see in stores or why the bread and milk are so far away? Supermarkets spend millions of dollars researching consumer(消费者) behaviour in order to develop ways to make you buy more in their stores.
CHOICE magazine takes a look at some of the more common tricks to help you avoid spending more money next time you go shopping.
Experts say turning to the right when you walk into a shop is connected with most people’s preference for using their right hand.
Dr Paul Harrison, expert at Deakin University, says a store’s entry(入口) is not the only important point.“Research in the US has shown that shoppers who travel in an anti-clockwise(逆时针方向的) direction will spend about two dollars more per trip than clockwise shoppers.”
Research made on shoppers’ in-store movements suggests people travel to some aisles(过道) only. The most common trip to travel in stores is around the outside circle, walking in and out of the aisles as needed. As a result, the ends of each aisle are where the store makes the most money.
When you enter a big supermarket fresh fruits and vegetables are in the first shopping area. Although it’s not wise to first put fruits and vegetables into your shopping basket, this department is set to make the shoppers feel that it’s fresh and healthy. People who use the fresh food areas are also likely to spend more money in the store.
By setting up different “marketplace” areas, it feels as though we’ve visited several different stores where we can get everything we need rather than a single big shop. Each of these areas has different lighting and floor coverings.“It’s all about creating a market-like feel，” says Harrison.“Areas making and selling bread, apart from smelling good, give the impression that the supermarket can be trusted. It’s like they’re saying, ‘You can trust us because we make food.’”
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了超市商品摆放的一些策略。
4．Why do people turn to the right when entering a shop?
A．People are mostly right-handed.
B．It’s easier for them to walk in a circle.
C．Fresh food is often placed on the right.
D．Shopping baskets are usually on the right.
A 解析：细节理解题。由第三段中的“turning to the right when you walk into a shop is connected with most people’s preference for using their right hand”可知，人们习惯往右走是因为习惯用右手。
5．What does the research in the US find?
A．Most shoppers walk anti-clockwise.
B．Clockwise walkers are often big shoppers.
C．A store’s entry is the most important point.
D．Walking directions influence consuming behaviour.
D 解析：推理判断题。由第四段中的“shoppers who travel in an anti-clockwise(逆时针方向的) direction will spend about two dollars more per trip than clockwise shoppers”可知，沿逆时针方向走的顾客比沿顺时针方向走的顾客花钱多，即行走方向影响消费额度。
6．As for aisles, what do supermarket managers most care about?
A．The ends. B．The middle.
C．How long they are. D．How wide they are.
A 解析：细节理解题。由第五段中的“As a result, the ends of each aisle are where the store makes the most money.”可知，过道的两端是最佳盈利点，因此是超市管理者最关注的地方。
7．What impression does a supermarket try to give shoppers by making each area different?
A．It is fresh.
B．It is healthy.
C．It covers a big area.
D．It offers a wide choice.
D 解析：细节理解题。由最后一段中的“it feels as though we’ve visited several different stores where we can get everything we need”可知，区域划分的主要目的是让大家感觉身处不同的商店，各类商品应有尽有。

Is there something strange high up in the world’s tallest mountains？If so, is it a big bear？Is it a monkey? Or is it a kind of man?
No one knows. This mystery has puzzled the world for years.
In 1887, a mountain climber found large footprints in the snow. They looked like the footprints of a very large man. But men don’t walk without shoes in the snow.
In 1906, another climber saw more footprints. Far off, he saw a very large animal standing on two legs. As he watched, it ran very quickly.
Fifteen years later, newspapers had new stories about the “something”. A mountain climber said he had seen the“snow man” walk slowly across the snow, far below him. He said it looked like a very large man.
From then on，more and more people had stories to tell. But not until 1951 did a mountain climber bring back pictures of large footprints. The pictures showed clearly that the Snowman walked on two legs. So it was not a bear or a monkey. Could it be an ape(猿) man?
The mystery grew！And the mystery keeps growing. Someday we may find out just what it is that makes the large footprints.

Experts say turning to the right when you walk into a shop is connected with most people’s preference for using their right hand.

Research made on shoppers’ in-store movements suggests people travel to some aisles(过道) only. The most common trip to travel in stores is around the outside circle, walking in and out of the aisles as needed. As a result, the ends of each aisle are where the store makes the most money.

【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了超市商品摆放的一些策略。
4．Why do people turn to the right when entering a shop?
A．People are mostly right-handed.
B．It’s easier for them to walk in a circle.
C．Fresh food is often placed on the right.
D．Shopping baskets are usually on the right.
A 解析：细节理解题。由第三段中的“turning to the right when you walk into a shop is connected with most people’s preference for using their right hand”可知，人们习惯往右走是因为习惯用右手。
5．What does the research in the US find?
A．Most shoppers walk anti-clockwise.
B．Clockwise walkers are often big shoppers.
C．A store’s entry is the most important point.
D．Walking directions influence consuming behaviour.
D 解析：推理判断题。由第四段中的“shoppers who travel in an anti-clockwise(逆时针方向的) direction will spend about two dollars more per trip than clockwise shoppers”可知，沿逆时针方向走的顾客比沿顺时针方向走的顾客花钱多，即行走方向影响消费额度。
6．As for aisles, what do supermarket managers most care about?
A．The ends. B．The middle.
C．How long they are. D．How wide they are.
A 解析：细节理解题。由第五段中的“As a result, the ends of each aisle are where the store makes the most money.”可知，过道的两端是最佳盈利点，因此是超市管理者最关注的地方。
7．What impression does a supermarket try to give shoppers by making each area different?

完形填空
We usually tell ourselves that our life will be complete when we get a nicer car, when we are able to go on a nice vacation, when we retire...
The __1__ is, there’s no better time to be __2__ than right now. If not now, when? Your life will always be filled with __3__. It’s best to admit this to yourself and __4__ to be happy anyway.
One of my __5__ quotes(引言) comes from Alfred D’Souza. He said，“For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to __6__ real life. But there was always some obstacle(障碍) __7__ the way, something to be __8__ first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid.__9__ life would begin. At last I realized that these __10__ were my life.”
This view has helped me to see that there is no __11__ to happiness. Happiness is the way. So, treasure(珍惜) every __12__ that you have. And treasure it more because you __13__ it with someone special, special enough to spend your time...and __14__ that time waits for no one.
__15__ stop waiting until you finish school, until you start work, until you get married, until you have kids, until you get a new car or home, until your car or home is __16__， until you retire, until you __17__， until you are born again to __18__ that there is no better time than right now to be happy.
Happiness is a(n) __19__， not an end.
Thought for the day，“Work like you don’t need money, __20__ like you’ve never been hurt, and dance like no one’s watching.”
【解题导语】 我们总是习惯性地认为我们的生活将在未来某个时刻真正开始，我们的幸福将在将来某个时刻降临。这种想法是大错而特错的，作者告诫我们：幸福就在眼前，我们应该活在当下。
1．A.plan B．choice

C．off D．at
A 解析：“in the way”固定短语，在此表示“阻挡”之意，符合语境。
8．A.set up B．got through

9．A.Instead B．Meanwhile
C．Then D．Otherwise
C 解析：上文的关键词“first”和下文的“At last”提示此处应是顺承关系，故选C项。Alfred D’Souza认为，等他完成了以上的那些事情，“然后(then)”他的生活就开始了。

C．failures D．obstacles
D 解析：最终，Alfred D’Souza意识到：这些“障碍”正是他生活的组成部分。这里的obstacles与上文的“some obstacle”相呼应。

C．remind D．prove
A 解析：上文一系列的祈使句都是讲述时间的宝贵，由此可知作者让我们“记住(remember)”时间不等人。

D 解析：通过上文的论述，作者这里得出结论：“因此(so)”不要在等待未来中浪费生命，要活在当下。
16．A.paid off B．given off
C．turned off D．taken off
A 解析：前面说“直到买了新车或新房子”，后面接着说“等我们还清汽车或房子的贷款”，符合逻辑上一贯的关系。pay off意为“付清，还清”。
17．A.win B．lose
C．die D．forget
C 解析：作者本段是按照时间顺序来作出假设，从毕业到参加工作，然后结婚生子，再到买房车、还贷款、退休，接下来自然是“死亡(die)”了。
18．A.believe B．doubt
C．predict D．ensure
A 解析：总结全文内容可知，作者的论述主要是围绕“幸福就在当下”而展开，故此处应该说的是要“坚信(believe)”这个道理。

阅读理解
A
A group of Chinese scientists and explorers are looking for international help to organize a new search for the country’s answer to Bigfoot, known locally as the “Yeren”， or “wild man”．
Over the years, more than 400 people have said they saw the half-man, half-ape(半猿) Yeren in a remote, mountainous area of the central province of Hubei, state news agency Xinhua said on Saturday.
Expeditions in the 1970s and 1980s found hair, a footprint, and a sleeping nest suspected of belonging to the Yeren, but there has been no conclusive proof, the report added.
Witnesses described a creature that walks upright and is more than 2 metres tall with grey, red or black hair all over its body, Xinhua said.
Now the Hubei Wild Man Research Association is looking for volunteers from around the world to join them on another expedition to look for the Yeren.
“We want the team members to be devoted, as there will be a lot of hard work in the process，”Luo Baosheng, vice president of the group, told Xinhua.
But the team will have to come up with about 10 million yuan($ 1.50 million) first, and is talking to companies and other bodies to secure the money, so there is no timetable yet for when they may start, the report added.
China is no stranger to cryptozoology. There are many tales about mysterious, monster-like creatures in remote parts of the country. For example, Tibetans have long talked about the existence of the Yeti(喜马拉雅雪人), or“Abominable Snowman”， in the high mountains of their snowy homeland.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇新闻报道。多年来， 超过400人说他们在中国湖北的边远地区见到过野人的踪迹， 这些野人半猿半人。中国一组科学家、研究人员为此寻求国际帮助， 希望组建一个新的调查小组来调查这些野人的真实身份。
1．The timetable for starting the trip depends on________．
A．the number of explorers
B．government’s support
C．the finance
D．local people’s guiding
C 解析：细节理解题。根据文章第七段可知只有收集到足够的资金他们才能展开这项调查，故选C。
2．According to the text, the underlined word“cryptozoology” in the last paragraph probably refers to ________．
A．the study of mysterious animals
B．the study of human beings
C．dangerous expeditions
D．tourism industry
A 解析：词义猜测题。根据最后一段中的There are many tales about mysterious, monster-like creatures in remote parts of the country.可知是对神秘动物的调查， 故选A。
3．What would be the best title for this text?
A．Volunteers for an Expedition Needed
B．Scientists to Look for China’s Bigfoot
C．International Cooperation in Finding Wild Man
D．Yeren Appeared in Hubei Again
B 解析：标题归纳题。根据文章第一段中的A group of Chinese scientists and explorers are looking for international help to organize a new search for the country’s answer to Bigfoot可知文章讲述的是一篇中国科学家要去找野人踪迹的新闻报道，故选B。
B
Honey(蜂蜜) from the African forest is not only a kind of natural sugar, it is also delicious. Most people, and many animals, like eating it. However, the only way for them to get that honey is to find a wild bees’ nest(巢) and take the honey from it. Often, these nests are high up in trees, and it is difficult to find them. In parts of Africa, though, people and animals looking for honey have a strange and unexpected helper—a little bird called honey guide.
The honey guide does not actually like honey, but it does like the wax(蜂蜡) in the beehives(蜂房). The little bird cannot reach this wax, which is deep inside the bees’ nest. So, when it finds a suitable nest, it looks for someone to help it. The honey guide gives a loud cry that attracts the attention of both passing animals and people. Once it has their attention, it flies through the forest, waiting from time to time for the curious animal or person as it leads them to the nest. When they finally arrive at the nest, the__follower reaches in to get at the delicious honey as the bird patiently waits and watches. Some of the honey, and the wax, always falls to the ground, and this is when the honey guide takes its share.
Scientists do not know why the honey guide likes eating the wax, but it is very determined in its efforts to get it. The birds seem to be able to smell wax from a long distance away.
They will quickly arrive whenever a beekeeper is taking honey from his beehives, and will even enter churches when beeswax candles are being lit.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇科普短文，主要介绍了蜂蜜向导鸟如何引导人类和动物发现好吃的蜂蜜，且各取所需：蜂蜜向导鸟得到蜂蜡，而人类和动物得到蜂蜜。
4．Why is it difficult to find a wild bees’ nest?
A．It’s small in size.
B．It’s hidden in trees.
C．It’s covered with wax.
D．It’s hard to recognize.
B 解析：细节理解题。根据文章第一段第四句Often, these nests are high up in trees, and it is difficult to find them.可知，由于蜂房高居树上并且隐藏在树丛中，所以它们不容易被发现，因此B项正确。
5．What do the words “the follower” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A．A bee. B．A bird.
C．A honey seeker. D．A beekeeper.
C 解析：词义猜测题。对于画线部分的前一个句子Once it has their attention, it flies through the forest, waiting from time to time for the curious animal or person as it leads them to the nest.该句中them指the curious animal or person, 所以，下句中的the follower也指的是the curious animal or person，即“寻找蜂蜜者”，所以C项正确。
6．The honey guide is special in the way________．
A．it gets its food
B．it goes to church
C．it sings in the forest
D．it reaches into bees’ nests
A 解析：推理判断题。根据文章的描述，蜂蜜向导鸟寻找蜂蜜是通过吸引人或动物来帮助它们得到自己需要的蜂蜡，对于动物来讲，它们懂得利用外力来达到自己的目的，这种方式是很特别的。蜂蜜向导鸟通过这种方式找到自己的食物，所以A项是正确的。
7．What can be the best title for the text?
A．Wild Bees B．Wax and Honey
C．Beekeeping in Africa D．Honey-Lover’s Helper
D 解析：标题归纳题。本文主要介绍了蜂蜜向导鸟用自己的独特方式找到食物的过程，并且帮助人类和动物获得蜂蜜，所以对于人类和动物来讲，它是有益的帮助者，所以D项(蜂蜜爱好者的帮助者)意义正确。A项意为“野生蜜蜂”；B项意为“蜂蜡和蜂蜜”；C项意为“在非洲养蜂”，三者均不能表达出文章的主旨。

A
A group of Chinese scientists and explorers are looking for international help to organize a new search for the country’s answer to Bigfoot, known locally as the “Yeren”， or “wild man”．
Over the years, more than 400 people have said they saw the half-man, half-ape(半猿) Yeren in a remote, mountainous area of the central province of Hubei, state news agency Xinhua said on Saturday.
Expeditions in the 1970s and 1980s found hair, a footprint, and a sleeping nest suspected of belonging to the Yeren, but there has been no conclusive proof, the report added.
Witnesses described a creature that walks upright and is more than 2 metres tall with grey, red or black hair all over its body, Xinhua said.
Now the Hubei Wild Man Research Association is looking for volunteers from around the world to join them on another expedition to look for the Yeren.
“We want the team members to be devoted, as there will be a lot of hard work in the process，”Luo Baosheng, vice president of the group, told Xinhua.
But the team will have to come up with about 10 million yuan($ 1.50 million) first, and is talking to companies and other bodies to secure the money, so there is no timetable yet for when they may start, the report added.
China is no stranger to cryptozoology. There are many tales about mysterious, monster-like creatures in remote parts of the country. For example, Tibetans have long talked about the existence of the Yeti(喜马拉雅雪人), or“Abominable Snowman”， in the high mountains of their snowy homeland.

1．The timetable for starting the trip depends on________．

2．According to the text, the underlined word“cryptozoology” in the last paragraph probably refers to ________．
A．the study of mysterious animals
B．the study of human beings
C．dangerous expeditions
D．tourism industry
A 解析：词义猜测题。根据最后一段中的There are many tales about mysterious, monster-like creatures in remote parts of the country.可知是对神秘动物的调查， 故选A。
3．What would be the best title for this text?
A．Volunteers for an Expedition Needed

D．Yeren Appeared in Hubei Again

Honey(蜂蜜) from the African forest is not only a kind of natural sugar, it is also delicious. Most people, and many animals, like eating it. However, the only way for them to get that honey is to find a wild bees’ nest(巢) and take the honey from it. Often, these nests are high up in trees, and it is difficult to find them. In parts of Africa, though, people and animals looking for honey have a strange and unexpected helper—a little bird called honey guide.
The honey guide does not actually like honey, but it does like the wax(蜂蜡) in the beehives(蜂房). The little bird cannot reach this wax, which is deep inside the bees’ nest. So, when it finds a suitable nest, it looks for someone to help it. The honey guide gives a loud cry that attracts the attention of both passing animals and people. Once it has their attention, it flies through the forest, waiting from time to time for the curious animal or person as it leads them to the nest. When they finally arrive at the nest, the__follower reaches in to get at the delicious honey as the bird patiently waits and watches. Some of the honey, and the wax, always falls to the ground, and this is when the honey guide takes its share.
Scientists do not know why the honey guide likes eating the wax, but it is very determined in its efforts to get it. The birds seem to be able to smell wax from a long distance away.
They will quickly arrive whenever a beekeeper is taking honey from his beehives, and will even enter churches when beeswax candles are being lit.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇科普短文，主要介绍了蜂蜜向导鸟如何引导人类和动物发现好吃的蜂蜜，且各取所需：蜂蜜向导鸟得到蜂蜡，而人类和动物得到蜂蜜。
4．Why is it difficult to find a wild bees’ nest?
A．It’s small in size.
B．It’s hidden in trees.
C．It’s covered with wax.
D．It’s hard to recognize.
B 解析：细节理解题。根据文章第一段第四句Often, these nests are high up in trees, and it is difficult to find them.可知，由于蜂房高居树上并且隐藏在树丛中，所以它们不容易被发现，因此B项正确。
5．What do the words “the follower” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A．A bee. B．A bird.
C．A honey seeker. D．A beekeeper.
C 解析：词义猜测题。对于画线部分的前一个句子Once it has their attention, it flies through the forest, waiting from time to time for the curious animal or person as it leads them to the nest.该句中them指the curious animal or person, 所以，下句中的the follower也指的是the curious animal or person，即“寻找蜂蜜者”，所以C项正确。
6．The honey guide is special in the way________．
A．it gets its food
B．it goes to church
C．it sings in the forest
D．it reaches into bees’ nests
A 解析：推理判断题。根据文章的描述，蜂蜜向导鸟寻找蜂蜜是通过吸引人或动物来帮助它们得到自己需要的蜂蜡，对于动物来讲，它们懂得利用外力来达到自己的目的，这种方式是很特别的。蜂蜜向导鸟通过这种方式找到自己的食物，所以A项是正确的。
7．What can be the best title for the text?
A．Wild Bees B．Wax and Honey
C．Beekeeping in Africa D．Honey-Lover’s Helper
D 解析：标题归纳题。本文主要介绍了蜂蜜向导鸟用自己的独特方式找到食物的过程，并且帮助人类和动物获得蜂蜜，所以对于人类和动物来讲，它是有益的帮助者，所以D项(蜂蜜爱好者的帮助者)意义正确。A项意为“野生蜜蜂”；B项意为“蜂蜡和蜂蜜”；C项意为“在非洲养蜂”，三者均不能表达出文章的主旨。

The Universal Dragon
Dragons can be friendly or fierce①， they can bring good luck or cause death and destruction②， but one thing is sure—people talk about them almost everywhere in the world.For a creature that doesn’t actually exist③，that’s quite something④.
◆that doesn’t actually exist中that引导定语从句，修饰先行词a creature，that在从句中作主语。
◆that’s quite something中that为指示代词，在句中作主语。
In Chinese culture, dragons are generous⑤ and wise, although they can be unpredictable⑥.The dragon was closely connected to⑦ the royal family：the emperor⑧’s robes⑨ have a symbol of⑩ a gold dragon with five claws?.Other members of the royal family were allowed to wear? dragon symbols, too, but with fewer claws and of a different colour?.According to? popular? belief, if you were born in the year of the dragon，you are intelligent，brave，and a natural? leader.
◆although they can be unpredictable中although引导让步状语从句，同时句中的can表示推测。
But in the west，dragons had a different reputation?.The very first text in English, the Anglo-Saxon poem Beowulf, tells the story of a Scandinavian hero, Beowulf, who fights and kills a dangerous dragon but is himself killed in the fight.However, across the border? in Wales, the red dragon which appears on the Welsh flag is a positive? symbol, indicating?strength and a sense of national identity.
◆Beowulf作a Scandinavian hero的同位语。
◆非限制性定语从句who fights and kills a dangerous dragon修饰Beowulf, who在从句中作主语。
◆定语从句which appears on the Welsh flag修饰the red dragon, which在从句中作主语。
◆现在分词短语indicating strength and a sense of ...在句中作状语。
Why should the dragon have a different character in different parts of the world? Some experts believe it is due to the animals the myths grew out of．In the west，the idea of the dragon probably came from the snake—an animal which people hated and were afraid of.
◆the myths grew out of中省略了引导定语从句的that/which，因为that/which在从句中作out of的宾语。
◆which people hated and were afraid of中which引导定语从句，which在从句中作宾语，可省略。
But in China, the idea of the dragon may have come from the alligator—a shy animal which lives in rivers, but which is usually only seen when there is plenty of water—a good sign for agriculture.So the Chinese dragon was a bringer of good fortune.
◆but连接两个which引导的定语从句，均修饰a shy animal，而在but后的分句中又包含一个when引导的时间状语从句。
世界上的龙
龙可能是友好的也可能是凶猛的，可能会带来好运也可能带来死亡与毁坏，但有一点是确定的——几乎世界上所有地方的人都谈论它们。对于一种实际上并不存在的生物，那是非同寻常的。
在中国的文化里，龙是慷慨的和有智慧的，尽管它们也许是变化莫测的。龙跟皇室家族是紧密联系在一起的：皇袍上有一个五爪金龙的标志。皇室其他成员也被允许穿带有龙的标志的服装，但爪子要少，颜色也不同。根据大众的看法，如果你出生在龙年，你就会聪明、勇敢，并且是天生的领导者。
但是在西方，龙的名声就不同了。最早的英语文章是盎格鲁—撒克逊人的诗《贝奥武夫》，它讲述了这样一个故事：一位斯堪的纳维亚英雄贝奥武夫与一条危险的龙战斗并杀死了它，但是英雄自己也死于战斗中。然而，越过威尔士的边境，出现在威尔士国旗上的红色的龙则是一个正面象征，象征着力量与民族特性的认同感。
为什么龙在世界不同地区有不同的特征？一些专家认为是由于这些神话源于不同的动物(才有了不同的认识)。在西方，龙的概念可能来自蛇——一种人们既讨厌又害怕的动物。
而在中国，龙的概念可能来自短吻鳄——一种生活在江河里的害羞的动物，但通常只能在水源充沛的时候才能见到——这对农业来说是好兆头。因此，中国的龙是带来好运的使者。

Hello,__everyone!__Have__you__ever__heard__of__the__mysterious__Shennongjia? The place, which is situated in the west of Hubei Province not far from the entrance to the Three Gorges, is famous for being home to the “Yeren” or wild men. There have been dozens of reports that people have seen a wild man in the Shennongjia Nature Reserve. Soldiers and peasants are said to have seen hairy creatures appear in the forest or among the rocks. The sightings of wild, ape-like creatures add to Shennongjia’s mysterious sense.
However, some people think that these are only stories and many sightings are probably nothing more than lies. So whether the story is all in people’s mind or the reality is hard to tell. Have you ever had an interest in it since your childhood? If you come to Shennongjia, you will not be disappointed, even if you don’t see the wild men.

My grandfather Andy Anderson is 99. His life story is one for the big screen—he met my grandmother on a Saturday, and they married on the following Saturday. They stayed together until my grandma died 67 years later. Without going to college, Andy worked his way to the top. He became the manager of the dairy department of Safeway. He earned the nickname Mr Cheese, which finally turned into Grandpa Cheese among the family. He has taught me a lot and here’s what he has learned in his 99 years.
Always keep a good sense of humour. Find something humorous in every single situation. Never be too good to start at the bottom. Exercise every day, even when you don’t feel like it. Don’t spend more money than you make. Save your money now and spend it later.
You must be able to forgive, even if it’s difficult to do. Love is not always easy; sometimes you have to work at it. Your family is the most precious thing you will ever have in life.
If you are faced with a problem, don’t delay(延误) trying to solve it. But if there’s no way to solve it, you have to forget about it. Make sure you’re doing what you love; don’t be afraid to follow those dreams you have for yourself.
School education is important, but not necessary. Life can be an education in itself. Explore your world and stay curious; having a bad job is better than having no job at all; try not to take yourself so seriously. Don’t ever be afraid to be your true self. Your life is delicate(易受损的), and if you fail to take care of yourself properly, you’ll spoil. Life is a gift that you must unwrap. It’s up to you to determine what will lead you to happiness or frustration(挫折). You have the power to make that decision for yourself.
All of above come from Grandpa Cheese. If you’re wondering what Grandpa Cheese is up to these days, he’s riding his motorized scooter(踏板车) around Benicia, CA, and “planning on what I’m going to do when I start to get old，” he says.

Dear Editor，
A few days ago, I visited Mount Tai. I became very worried about the historic sites there after I saw how badly damaged some of them were. Some people threw paper and empty bottles everywhere, and some drew pictures or wrote their names on the old trees.
Thousands of tourists visit Mount Tai every day. If the visitors don’t pay attention to their behavior, the historic sites will be destroyed. I am worried that part of our history will be lost. I strongly suggest that we encourage people to protect our cultural heritage. Maybe we can make a website about it. At the same time, the government should put glass walls in front of some of the most important places.
Let’s keep Mount Tai beautiful and welcome our dear guests from all over the world to our beautiful and clean country.
Yours，

Australians Eat Whole World’s Food
I can’t decide what I want to eat for dinner tonight.
Do I feel like Italian food or Thai food? Indian or Chinese? American or Turkish? I don’t need to travel around the world; all these choices are available in a typical inner city in Australia.
Australian food has many different cultural influences.Over the past century，people from many countries have come to Australia.These migrants(移民) have contributed to the melting pot that is Australian food.
“Whether you’re after modern，traditional or exotic flavors，Australia’s various dining scene offers a wide range of the world’s great cuisines(菜肴)，” the Visit Victoria website noted.
Some Australian families may restrict their diet to the basic “meat and three veg” meal: one sort of meat(chicken，beef，lamb，and so on)，along with three different types of vegetables (usually potatoes，peas and carrots)．But most people enjoy the variety.
If I were to pick four meals that every Australian eats，they would be Italian spaghetti bolognaise(意式肉酱面)，Chinese fried rice，British fish and chips and Thai green chicken curry.
Chinese students in Australia find it easy to get a Chinese meal.Cities like Sydney have large Chinatowns，but many towns in the country also have a Chinese takeaway restaurant.
Popular Australian-Chinese dishes may not always seem authentic，Honey Chicken，for example，but you can still find dumplings and noodles.
Even so，Australia has its own，very Australian savory(可口的) dish: meat pie.It’s a real classic! The dish is on the menu at every house party and sporting venue(场所)，and is eaten every morning after a big night.
And who could forget desserts? We Australians often fight with New Zealanders over who has the rightful claim to the Pavlova(奶油蛋白甜饼) and Lamington(巧克力椰丝方形蛋糕) desserts，both equally delicious and sweet.
