Seal Island is a 200?metre long island in South Africa, which is surrounded by 55 to 57 degrees Fahrenheit waters and covered with over 60,000 seals and some birds.This island has been home to many birds and seals.You may think this island is a paradise.In fact, the island is not famous for the seals or birds.However, the real stars are the great white sharks that leap out of the water to catch the seals they are hunting.
You may think that there is no way for a 15?foot long, 3,000?pound shark to hurl its body out of the water and catch a seal in midair.Actually, these sharks are called “Air Jaws”.
Over the years, the seals have gotten smarter.Now, they go out in groups of seven and eight to feed.They swim down on the sea floor, which gives them extra camouflage (掩饰).When they have to swim near the water surface, they swim in a zigzag (之字形的) pattern.But with all these tricks, they can still be outwitted (以智取胜) by the sharks.Usually, the sharks will take one seal away from its group and force it to swim on the surface, where it is easy to hunt.Sometimes, the seal is lucky and gets away, but most of them die in the process of trying to survive.
Every year, tourists go to see these amazing animals leap out of the water, sometimes flinging (抛) their whole bodies into the air when they want to catch the seals.Some people even want to go into shark cages to see the action from below!This is the reason why this island attracts thousands of tourists around the world every year.

International Women's Day takes place every year on 8 March to celebrate the achievements of women all over the world.It started with a protest (抗议) that took place in New York City in 1908 where women went out onto the streets to demand (要求) the right to vote, shorter working hours and better pay.Since then it has taken many forms and today it's a global event.In some countries, March 8 is an official holiday and in other countries it's an official holiday but only for women.
In today's world it may appear that women have all the same opportunities as men.If you watch the news you will see women astronauts and women leaders in business.However, if you look at the statistics (数据) you will realize things are different.The BBC did a report a few years ago that showed that in the UK women occupied (占据) only 30.9% of the most senior positions across some jobs in areas like politics, business and policing.So, although progress has been made since 1908, there is still a lot to do before we see an equal number of men and women in the top jobs and receiving equal pay.
A lot of special events take place in towns and cities all over the UK to celebrate International Women's Day.They are designed to celebrate the role of women in society and to make us think about the progress that has been made, but also about the changes that still need to take place to ensure the world is a fair and equal place for all its citizens.
Can you imagine a future when there's no need at all to have an International Women's Day or there is total equality for men and women?Hmmm ...something to think about but perhaps in your lifetime this could happen!?

“As easy as falling off a log (圆木)” is often used to describe a job that does not take much effort.You might hear a student say to her friend that her spelling test was “as easy as falling off a log”. 36 It is easier to fall off the log than to stay on it.
37 One is “as easy as pie”.Nothing is easier than eating a piece of sweet, juicy pie unless it is “a piece of cake”.
“A piece of cake” is another expression that means something is extremely easy to do.A friend might tell you that his new job was “a piece of cake”.
Another expression is “as easy as shooting fish in a barrel”.It is hard to imagine why anyone would want to shoot fish in a barrel.But, clearly, fish in a barrel would be much easier to shoot than fish in a stream. 38
Sometimes, things that come to us easily also leave us just as easily.In fact, there is an expression — “easy come, easy go” — that recognizes this. 39 Easy come, easy go.
When life itself is easy, when you have no cares or problems, you are on “Easy Street”.Everyone wants to live on that imaginary street.
40 It means to treat a person kindly or gently, especially in a situation where you might be expected to be angry with him.A wife might urge her husband to “go easy on” their son, because the boy did not mean to damage the car.
A.Everyone has his or her own way of saying things or special expressions.
B.Another “easy” expression is to “go easy on a person”.
C.In fact, it would be “as easy as falling off a log”.
D.You may win a lot of money in a lottery (彩票), and then spend it all in a few days.
E.And the last expression means not to worry or work too hard.
F.There are several other expressions that mean the same thing.
G.If you ever tried to walk on a fallen tree log, you understand what the expression means.

Table tennis started as an after?dinner game, but is now a fast, high?tech sport.It also has 56 most players of any sport in the world.
57 is believed that upper?class Victorians in England invented table tennis in the 1880s as an after?dinner alternative (可能的选择) to tennis, 58 (use) whatever they could find as equipment.A line of books would often be the net, and sometimes a cigarette box cover would be a racket (球拍).
In 1926, at a meeting 59 (hold) in Berlin, the International Table Tennis Federation was formed.The first World Championships were held in London in the same year, but the sport had to wait a long time before it was given a chance 60 (make) its first appearance at the 1988 Seoul Olympic Games.
The sport 61 (progress) greatly since it was first invented.Nowadays, players use 62 (special) developed rackets and a lightweight, hollow (空心的) ball.Thanks to their high?tech rackets, they can now enjoy the 63 (magic) feeling of hitting the ball at over 150 kilometres per hour!
Over the years, table tennis has developed into a worldwide sport.There are perhaps 40 million competitive table tennis players and countless millions 64 play less seriously.Hopefully, table tennis 65 (play) by more people all over the world in the future.

Jenny was the only child in her home.She had a quarrel with her mother that afternoon and she ran out of the house angrily.She couldn't help weeping sorrowfully when she thought of the scolding from her mother.Having wandered aimlessly in the street for hours, she felt a little hungry and wished for something to eat, but it was not possible for her, since she had nothing with her.She stood beside a stand for a while, watching the middle璦ged seller busy doing his business.However, with no money in hand, she sighed and had to leave.
The seller behind the stand noticed the young girl and asked, “Hey, girl, you want to have the noodles?”
“Oh, yes ...but I don't have money on me ...” she replied.
“That's nothing.I'll treat you today,” said the man.“Come in.”
The seller brought her a bowl of noodles, whose smell was so attractive.As she was eating, Jenny cried silently.
“What is it?” asked the man kindly.
“Nothing, actually I was just touched by your kindness!” said Jenny as she wiped her tears.“Even a stranger on the street will give me a bowl of noodles, while my mother drove me out of the house.She showed no care for me.She is so merciless compared to a stranger!!”
Hearing the words, the seller smiled, “Girl, do you really think so?I only gave you a bowl of noodles and you thanked me a lot.But it is your mother who has raised you since you were a baby.Can you number the times she cooked for you?Have you expressed your gratitude to her?”
Jenny sat there, speechless and numb with shock; she remembered mother's familiar face and weathered hands.“Why did I not think of that?A bowl of noodles from a stranger made me feel indebted, but I have never thanked my mum for what she has done for me.”
On the way home, Jenny made up her mind to make an apology to her mother for her rudeness as soon as she arrived home.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
Approaching the doorway, Jenny took a deep breath.
A gentle touch on her hair called her mind back.

第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文, 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。
“As easy as falling off a log (圆木)” is often used to describe a job that does not take much effort.You might hear a student say to her friend that her spelling test was “as easy as falling off a log”. 36 It is easier to fall off the log than to stay on it.
37 One is “as easy as pie”.Nothing is easier than eating a piece of sweet, juicy pie unless it is “a piece of cake”.
“A piece of cake” is another expression that means something is extremely easy to do.A friend might tell you that his new job was “a piece of cake”.
Another expression is “as easy as shooting fish in a barrel”.It is hard to imagine why anyone would want to shoot fish in a barrel.But, clearly, fish in a barrel would be much easier to shoot than fish in a stream. 38
Sometimes, things that come to us easily also leave us just as easily.In fact, there is an expression — “easy come, easy go” — that recognizes this. 39 Easy come, easy go.
When life itself is easy, when you have no cares or problems, you are on “Easy Street”.Everyone wants to live on that imaginary street.
40 It means to treat a person kindly or gently, especially in a situation where you might be expected to be angry with him.A wife might urge her husband to “go easy on” their son, because the boy did not mean to damage the car.
A.Everyone has his or her own way of saying things or special expressions.
B.Another “easy” expression is to “go easy on a person”.
C.In fact, it would be “as easy as falling off a log”.
D.You may win a lot of money in a lottery (彩票), and then spend it all in a few days.
E.And the last expression means not to worry or work too hard.
F.There are several other expressions that mean the same thing.
G.If you ever tried to walk on a fallen tree log, you understand what the expression means.

Table tennis started as an after?dinner game, but is now a fast, high?tech sport.It also has 56 most players of any sport in the world.
57 is believed that upper?class Victorians in England invented table tennis in the 1880s as an after?dinner alternative (可能的选择) to tennis, 58 (use) whatever they could find as equipment.A line of books would often be the net, and sometimes a cigarette box cover would be a racket (球拍).
In 1926, at a meeting 59 (hold) in Berlin, the International Table Tennis Federation was formed.The first World Championships were held in London in the same year, but the sport had to wait a long time before it was given a chance 60 (make) its first appearance at the 1988 Seoul Olympic Games.

57.It 考查代词。It is believed that ...意为“据说……, 人们认为……”。
58.using 考查非谓语动词。设空处作状语, 因upper?class Victorians与use之间是逻辑上的主谓关系, 故填using。
59.held 考查非谓语动词。设空处作后置定语修饰meeting, 因hold与meeting之间是逻辑上的动宾关系, 且hold所表示的动作已完成, 故填held。
60.to make 考查非谓语动词。chance后接带to的不定式作定语, 因the sport与make之间是逻辑上的主谓关系, 故填to make。

第二节(满分25 分)
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。
Jenny was the only child in her home.She had a quarrel with her mother that afternoon and she ran out of the house angrily.She couldn't help weeping sorrowfully when she thought of the scolding from her mother.Having wandered aimlessly in the street for hours, she felt a little hungry and wished for something to eat, but it was not possible for her, since she had nothing with her.She stood beside a stand for a while, watching the middle?aged seller busy doing his business.However, with no money in hand, she sighed and had to leave.
The seller behind the stand noticed the young girl and asked, “Hey, girl, you want to have the noodles?”
“Oh, yes ...but I don't have money on me ...” she replied.
“That's nothing.I'll treat you today,” said the man.“Come in.”
The seller brought her a bowl of noodles, whose smell was so attractive.As she was eating, Jenny cried silently.
“What is it?” asked the man kindly.
“Nothing, actually I was just touched by your kindness!” said Jenny as she wiped her tears.“Even a stranger on the street will give me a bowl of noodles, while my mother drove me out of the house.She showed no care for me.She is so merciless compared to a stranger!!”
Hearing the words, the seller smiled, “Girl, do you really think so?I only gave you a bowl of noodles and you thanked me a lot.But it is your mother who has raised you since you were a baby.Can you number the times she cooked for you?Have you expressed your gratitude to her?”
Jenny sat there, speechless and numb with shock; she remembered mother's familiar face and weathered hands.“Why did I not think of that?A bowl of noodles from a stranger made me feel indebted, but I have never thanked my mum for what she has done for me.”
On the way home, Jenny made up her mind to make an apology to her mother for her rudeness as soon as she arrived home.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
Approaching the doorway, Jenny took a deep breath.
A gentle touch on her hair called her mind back.
参考范文:
Approaching the doorway, Jenny took a deep breath.When she knocked at the door, she found the door was locked and her mother was not in.Tired and sad, she sat down in front of the house.“Where could my mother be?” she wondered.“Was she still angry with me?” Again, the scene of the quarrel appeared in her mind.She remembered her rudeness to her mother.Realizing that all the scolding from her mother was due to the fact that her mother really cared a lot about her, she felt rather ashamed, and tears began to roll down her cheeks.
A gentle touch on her hair called her mind back.She raised her head and saw the familiar face of her mother.“Here you come!I've been looking for you,” she said, tired and relieved.Jenny couldn't help throwing herself into her mother's arms.“Mum, I'm so sorry and thank you for all you have done for me.” She expressed her sincere apology and great gratitude.Hearing this, her mother smiled patting her back gently.
