Even though these monuments are extremely well known,they hold secrets that not many people are aware of.
Empire State Building
On the 103rd floor of the Empire State Building in New York,there is a secret observation deck that not a lot of people know about.To access the balcony,you have to take a series of elevators and then a very steep,narrow staircase.The observation deck isn’t open to the public,but many celebrities have been photographed there.
Eiffel Tower
There is a secret apartment and office at the very top of the Eiffel Tower that has just recently become open to the public.In 1889,Gustave Eiffel,the engineer of this famous Paris landmark,built himself a private apartment and office.It has been restored and has wax models of Gustave,his daughter,and American inventor Thomas Edison on display.
Statue of Liberty
There is actually a room in the torch of the Statue of Liberty that showcases breathtaking views of the city.People used to be able to visit that room until 1916 when German agents blew up a nearby wharf(码头).The explosion sent broken pieces into the raised arm of Lady Liberty,making the staircase up to the hidden room unsafe.
Disneyland
Hardcore Disney fans might think they know all of the secrets of the park,a famous U.S.landmark,but many haven’t heard of Club 33.This exclusive restaurant is hidden behind an unmarked door in Disneyland’s New Orleans Square.If you want to dine here on your next trip to Disneyland,don’t get your hopes up.It costs $25,000 to join the club,plus an annual fee of $12,000.

World Environment Day is celebrated annually on June 5th and was created to inspire people around the globe to take an active part in environmental protection and learn more about ways we can help to guarantee the future of our planet is safe.
The very first World Environment Day took place in 1974,established by the United Nations General Assembly on the first day of the Stockholm Conference on the Human Environment that took place in 1972.Each year the United Nations picks a theme and a host city where anyone who is concerned about the environment can talk about environmental topics with others,followed by different kinds of exhibits to promote environmental awareness.Environmentalists,academics and scientists come together to bring new ideas on the table concerning the environment.
The 2018 World Environment Day was hosted by India,and the theme was Beat Plastic Pollution.It urged people to explore and choose supportable alternatives like paper or cloth bags to reduce the production and use of disposable plastic,which made up 10% of all of the waste.Even though the United Nations picks a specific host city every year,people around the world still celebrate World Environment Day in their hometowns with parades (游行),concerts,cleaning up and tree planting and all kinds of green actions to work towards having a beautiful planet and battling pollution.
World Environment Day is not a public holiday,so you won’t be getting the day off work or school,but if you want to celebrate,why not bring it to the attention of your parents,friends,colleagues or classmates?World Environment Day is all about working together to take action for the planet,so try to get everyone you know interested in helping do something.Things as small as making sure people have a way to recycle can make a difference.You could also try beautifying your neighborhood by planting gardens,learn about green foods,raise money for a local wildlife conservation group or simply learn about the effects of different products on the earth.
24.Why is World Environment Day set up?
A.To make people know more about nature.
B.To ask people to help to protect the globe.
C.To warn people of the danger of air pollution.
D.To encourage people to plan the earth’s future.

27.What’s the main idea of the last paragraph?

C
When she first started learning about the climate change from one of her elders,Fawn Sharp was invited on a helicopter flight over the Olympic Mountains to survey the Mount Anderson glacier.But the glacier was gone,melted by the warming climate.Sharp had a deep sense of loss when she discovered the glacier wasn’t there anymore.
Loss is a growing issue for people working and living on the front lines of climate change.And that gave Jennifer Wren Atkinson,a full-time lecturer at the University of Washington Bothell,US,an idea for a class.
This term,she taught students on the Bothell campus about the emotional burdens of environmental studies.She used the experiences of Native American tribes(部落),scientists and activists,and asked her 24 students to face the reality that there is no easy fix—that “this is such an intractable problem that they’re going to be dealing with it for the rest of their lives.”
Student Cody Dillon used to be a climate science skeptic (怀疑论者).Then he did his own reading and research,and changed his mind.
Dillon wasn’t going into environmental work—he was a computer-science major.Yet,the potential for a worldwide environmental catastrophe seemed so real to him five years ago that he quit his job and became a full-time volunteer for an environmental group that worked on restoration(恢复) projects.
Six months into the work,he decided that Atkinson’s class was just what he was looking for—a place where he could discuss his concerns about a changing climate.
Atkinson said she hoped the class helped her students prepare themselves for the amount of environmental loss that will happen over their lifetimes.
“We are already changing the planet—so many species are going to be lost,displaced or massively impacted,” she said.“The future isn’t going to be what they imagined.”
28.Why did the author mention the case of Fawn Sharp?
A.To lay a basis for Fawn Sharp’s further research.
B.To prove Fawn Sharp’s work is similar to Atkinson’s.
C.To lead into the issue of loss caused by climate change.
D.To show scientists’ concern about the Mount Anderson glacier.
29.What’s the main purpose of Atkinson’s class?
A.To explore how different people deal with climate change.
B.To get students more concerned about the environmental issue.
C.To find solutions to the environmental issue of Olympic Mountains.
D.To teach students how to conduct research about environment.
30.Which of the following words best explains “intractable” underlined in Paragraph 3?
A.Simple. B.Difficult.
C.Common. D.Interesting.
31.How did Atkinson’s class influence Dillon?
A.It made him work as a part-time volunteer for restoration projects.
B.It made him realize a planet-wide climate disaster would happen.
C.It encouraged him to be more involved in environmental protection.
D.It discouraged him to work on restoration projects for the environment.
D
Population data for European mountain birds have been for the first time combined in a recent study,with worrying results: the abundance of mountain-specialist birds has declined by as much as 10% in the 2000s.
Ecological communities in mountain areas include species not found in any other habitats.These species are also very susceptible to climate change,as global warming is reducing their liveable habitats.In principle,species may relocate further up the mountains,but closer to the top their habitat inevitably shrinks.
According to the new article,the abundance of European mountain birds has in fact declined in line with climate change projections.
The recently released study examined the population trends of 44 bird species in the 2000s in the mountain and fell regions of Fennoscandia,Great Britain,the Alps and the Iberian Peninsula.A decline was seen in 14 of the observed species,while eight of them saw significant increase.
“On average,population decline among the species studied was 7% over the 13-year research period,making the situation of mountain birds distinctly worse compared to,for example,European forest birds,whose numbers did not change during the same period,” explains Aleksi Lehikoinen,an Academy of Finland research fellow at the Finnish Museum of Natural History Luomus (part of the University of Helsinki),who headed the study.
The situation is the direst for species that only inhabit mountain regions and are unable to live in other European environments.For these species,known as mountain specialists,the numbers dwindled by as much as 10% during the monitoring period.
32.What can we get from the passage about European mountain birds?
A.They are newly found species.
B.They can be found at any place of the world.
C.The number of the birds has decreased greatly.
D.The number of the birds has increased greatly.
33.Why did the liveable habitats of the species reduce?
A.Air pollution.
B.Global warming.
C.Human activities.
D.Competition with other species.
34.Which one is TRUE according to the recently released study?
A.All 44 bird species decreased.
B.Only 8 of the species declined.
C.14 of the observed species declined.
D.There was no change in the number of the bird species.
35.What does the word “direst” mean in the last paragraph?
A.Serious. B.Useful.
C.Suitable. D.Waterless.

How to Grow Organic Tomatoes in a Container
Anyone who has seen tomatoes growing in a garden knows that they tend to be huge plants.　36　 So the first thing to do when considering growing tomatoes in a pot is to find a suitable variety.?
After you find the perfect plant,it is time to plant it.In general,plastic or fiberglass pots are best for growing tomatoes.They don’t dry out quickly.While tomatoes love heat,they don’t like being dry.　37　 Besides,tomatoes need to grow in a reasonably large pot.A pot must be 8 inches deep.That’s the absolute minimum.A 12- or 16-inch pot is even better.?
Any good quality organic potting soil works for tomatoes.Don’t use soil dug directly from the garden.　38　 Compost-based soil,whether purchased or mixed from your special recipe,is nice.When planting the tomato,put some soil in the bottom of the pot and set the plant in.After you have the plant set at the proper level,fill in around it with soil.The soil should go up to about an inch below the rim of the pot to allow room for watering.?
　39　 The best way to tell when to water is to stick your finger into the soil—if the first two inches are dry,it’s time to water.?
The trickiest thing about growing tomatoes in a pot is that they are heavy feeders.Every time you water,you wash nutrients out of the soil.So fertilize (施肥) regularly.Once a month is good.But every other week,applying the fertilizer at half-strength is better.　40　?
A.It is too heavy for container gardens.
B.That’s why clay pots are popular.
C.Instead,use whatever soil you can get.
D.And dry soil can reduce fruit production.
E.This provides constant nutrients for the tomato plants.
F.They require people’s much work to stay manageable.
G.Tomatoes don’t like being dry,so water them regularly.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给的段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Though it is one of the faded memories of my life today,there are times when I remember his face clearly,especially his eyes.As he had yellow spots on his eyes we called him Spotty.He would have been a stray (流浪) dog,until he came to me.
I was seven years old.My dad had just got a new job in Nasik.We had moved into a rented house.It was raining very heavily on the day we moved.
It was a cold dark night.We had our meal and went to sleep.Somehow in the midnight I heard some strange sounds outside the main door.I gathered courage and looked out through the window and I was really amused with what I saw outside.
There was a small puppy lying on an old doormat which my mother had put outside the door.It was wet and trembling.At first it was difficult to see the little one.It was the yellow spots on its eyes that made me realize its presence.
It was trying to get under the doormat to avoid the cold air outside and it had managed to get in as I could see only its head outside the doormat.Was it sick or injured?
I felt pity for the poor soul.I went in and came out with an old towel.I went near the innocent one and held it in my hand and wiped the puppy till he had become dry.I took him into my room and made a bed for him with a woolen blanket and a small pillow.He seemed very healthy and comfortable in his new bed as he went to sleep immediately.
The next morning,everyone in the family came to know about the unusual guest.“Shall we keep him with us?” I questioned my mom.
Like any other parents would,my parents first totally refused my idea but my sister and I convinced them to keep Spotty.
Slowly Spotty got on with everyone and became one of the family members.
注意:续写的词数应为150左右。
One day Spotty returned from his daily walk with a broken leg.





Almost a year later,one midnight we heard Spotty barking breathlessly.

答案C
答案C
W:Well,every day for me is different.I mean to say that some days I speak to clients for hours and hours,and try to convince them that our ideas are the best.A lot of my time is spent on research.Well,we have to deal with all the viewing and readership figures.We make up our own surveys to discover what a cross section of people think.We don’t just look at what people think,but because what really counts is:What sells the goods?
The simple fact is that if we don’t show a rise in sales we lose a customer.
The part I really enjoy is the creativity.It’s funny really.I get ideas in the most peculiar places.The best idea I ever got was one time when I was sitting in the bath.I jumped out and wrote it down immediately.We also do what we call brainstorming.
That is:pooling and sharing our ideas.And we get the best ideas this way.That is as a result of teamwork.I mean,alright,we depend on everybody being creative,and this often happens best when you’re working alone.But without a good team,no campaign has a hope of succeeding.A good agency is,in fact,a team of individuals who work well alone,but also together.
Hmmm,the drawbacks.Now,the biggest drawback of my work is that you stand or fall by your results.If you can’t think of new ideas,or you make an expensive mistake then you get fired.And you’re out of a job.That’s always worrying,I can tell you.

65.are damaged　考查动词的时态和语态。damage和主语the beaches之间是被动关系,此处叙述的是一般情况,故用一般现在时的被动语态。

Dear Editor,?
I am Li Hua,a senior student from Hongxing High School.Nowadays,with the development of the economy,more and more cultural relics are facing the danger of disappearing.So we must attach importance to the problem and try our best to protect them.?
First,cultural relics represent our historic cultures,which offer us a great opportunity to learn about what happened in the past.Second,they can help us make our traditional cultures handed down from generation to generation.More importantly,most of them have survived for a long time and they are usually very rare and valuable.
With the World Cultural Heritage Day coming,we shouldn’t hesitate to call on people to take action to save our treasures.I hope more and more people will throw themselves into protecting our cultural relics.
Sincerely,
Li Hua?

One day Spotty returned from his daily walk with a broken leg.He came to my room and sat near me.It was then that I saw his hind leg was injured and was bleeding.I called out my mother and she quickly tied a bandage around his leg and gave him food to eat.I was very upset.But the next day,Spotty was up to his usual pranks though he limped a bit.After this incident my relation with Spotty became more intense.I really admired him a lot for his courage.
Almost a year later,one midnight we heard Spotty barking breathlessly.We came out and saw that he was barking continuously heading somewhere.After some time Spotty became quiet.I patted him on his back and came inside.The next morning,my heart skipped a beat when I didn’t see Spotty.I searched for him in each and every corner but he was nowhere.And this time he had gone and would never come back.I cried and waited for him.We waited for one long week.But there were no signs of him.Then one day my dad got transferred to Mumbai.We shifted back to Mumbai.What would have happened to Spotty?Would he have died?These were the only questions in my mind,but they all remained unanswered forever.
