Palawan is a must for the global traveller,with its charming scenery,untouched rainforests and world-class resorts（度假胜地）.Palawan’s beaches simply have no equal，and there are scores of islands for the travelers to explore.
Diving
Divers troop toPalawan，which lies at the very heart of the Coral Triangle biodiversity corridor（走廊）. The highlight is Tubbataha Reefs National Park,which is accessible only by live-aboard boat from late March to mid-June.
Island hopping
Top of most visitors' lists is boarding a trusty speed boat and setting off to explore Palawan's 1780 islands.Why not take a multiday journey,camping on remote islands under the stars,far removed from other tourists?
Beaches
The best part about Palawan's glorious beaches? Only a few are known to the masses.The rest are yours for the taking.EI Nido has a seemingly endless supply of sandy sights. North of EI Nido,a rough road leads to Nacpan Beach.Way up north,the Calamian Islands are often ringed 360-degrees by blindingly white sand.
Jungle adventures
Close to 50% of Palawan's old-growth forest cover remains untouched,by far the most among Philippine provinces.Naturalists can explore the rainforests in search of animals and birdwatchers migrate from around the globe to spot unusual bird species.Additionally,determined hikers can scale numerous peaks.
Palawan has always had a responsible attitude towards its environment.Against the destruction of coastal ecosystems and illegal logging and fishing,several award-wining resorts are leading the way toward a more sustainable future,mixing native design and low-carbon elements to create living spaces that will last.Ecotourism will play a role in determining the future of the islands.
21.What can a tourist enjoy in Palawan?
A.Watching the migration of birds in the rainforests.
B.Visiting Tubbataha Reefs National Park in July.
C.Getting exposed to all the beaches.
D.Exploring the faraway islands.
22.Who may have less interest in Palawan?

B.Skiers.
C.Naturalists.

C.Log illegally.
B.Keep fishing.
D.Ignore the concept of low-carbon life.

B
Going to a British high school for one year was a very enjoyable and exciting experience for me.I was very happy with the school hours in Britain because school starts around 9 a. m. and ends about 3.30 p.m. This means I could get up an hour later than usual as schools in China begin before 8 a.m.
On the first day,the headmaster told us about the rules of the school. He also told us that the best way to earn respect from the school was to work hard and achieve high grades.This sounded like my school in China.
I had many teachers,among whom my favourite teacher was English literature teacher,Miss Burke.In our class there were 29 students. This is about the average size for British schools. We had to move to dif-ferent classrooms for different classes.We also had different students in some classes,so it was difficult to remember all the faces and names.
My English improved a lot as I used English every day and spent an hour each day reading English books in the library. I also had an extra French class on Tuesday evenings. Cooking was really fun as I learned how to buy,prepare and cook food. British food is very different. British people eat lots of desserts after their main meal.They don't seem to like fruit as much as Chinese students.
I was very lucky to experience this different way of life,and I hope that someday I can go back and study in Manchester again.
24.Why was the writer happy with the school hours?
A.Because he can get up as late as possible.
B.Because he can go to school before 8 a.m.
C.Because the school begins later than he had in China.
D.Because the school life begins early and ends late.
25.What made the writer feel difficult to remember the classmates?
A.Having lessons in different classes with different classmates.
B.Too many new students coming into the school.
C.The average size class having 29 classmates.
D.His new arriving and bad memory.
26.What does the writer think of his experience?

A.He believed it was unlucky.
C.He believed it was boring.
B.He thought it was difficult.
D.He thought it was satisfying.
27.Which can be the best title of the passage?

A.How to Achieve High Grades
C.Britain Schools and Teachers
B.My School Life in UK
D.How to Improve English

What are charter（特许）schools？ How are they different from traditional public schools in the United States?
Charter schools are a kind of public schools that receive a special charter or written rules,from a state government.The American state of Minnesota passed the country's first charter school law in the ear-ly 1990s.Since then,charter schools have spread from coast to coast.There are more than 6,700 charter schools now,educating nearly 3 million students nationwide.Charter schools cannot require students to pay tuition for their education.The schools also cannot set admission requirements. If too many young people asked to be admitted，the school must choose its students through a lottery（抽签）system.
Charter schools are different from public schools in many ways.They often have flexibility in the kinds of classes and programs that they can offer. They often do not have to follow the rules public schools do.The charter school movement grew out of unhappiness with public schools.
Over time,different groups began backing the charter cause.Civil rights groups wanted schools that broke down barriers based on race or wealth.Parents wanted greater ability to choose where their children went to school.Some Americans said that competition between schools could improve the quality of educa-tion.The main idea was that increased flexibility in an education program would let charter schools better serve their students.
But not all Americans like charter schools．For over 20 years，critics（评论家）have argued that char-ter schools take money away from public schools,and may not serve students with special needs. Some civ-il rights groups have opposed charter schools.Some labor and union organizers disagree about whether charter schools are actually public schools.
28.What do we know about charter schools?

A.They require high fees.
C.They take in students by exam.
B.They have strict requirements.
D.They can select students by chance.
29.How are charter schools different from public schools?

A.They have plenty of money.
C.They are given certain rights.
B.They don't follow any rules.
D.They offer fewer classes to students.

30.What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about?

A.Good services of charter schools.
C.Special rights charter schools have.
B.People support for charter schools.
D.Competition between charter schools.

31.What do critics think of charter schools?

A.They are unusual.
C.They provide poor education.
B.They may not be necessary.
D.They are not good public schools.

D
A few weeks ago I paid a visit to the UK.The moment I reached Heathrow airport,I was attracted by all the language differences between American and British English. Instead of reading “exit”,the signs read “way out”.The announcer said “alight” instead of “get off" the plane.
My first stop in the UK was the British museum and I was particularly interested in Room 41.In that room，I saw the oldest sentence ever found written in Old English.Archeologists（考古学家）believe it is from between 450 and 480 AD.
The next stop was Westminster Abbey. At the Poets' Corner I saw graves of famous writers,such as Shakespeare,Charles Dickens and Samuel Johnson. The list is going on and on.Another thing on the Ab-bey grounds that you should not miss is a colorful glass window in St. Margaret's Church,as you walk up to the Abbey.The window,about halfway up the left side of the church,honors William Caxton.He was the first person to bring the printing press to England and set up his printing business near the Abbey, probably because he was likely to get work from the government offices in the area.Caxton may not be as well-known as the writers in Poets' Corner,but he played a very important part instandardizing English.
My final stop was the Tower of London,which wasthe symbol of power of the people who changed English. This castle was built by William the conqueror after he defeated King Harold II in the Battle of Hastings during the Norman Invasion in 1066.After the Normans took over England,the official language became French for hundreds of years,and this was the time when many French words entered the English language especially words related to upper-class life such as words about government and cooking.
So that was my trip.
32.Where did the author see the oldest written form of English?

A.At the Heathrow airport.
C.At the Westminster Abbey.
B.In the British museum.
D.In the St.Margaret's Church.

33.What did the author say about William Caxton?
A.He was one of the greatest British poets.
B.He was buried in St.Margaret's Church.
C.He once worked in the government office.
D.He helped to standardize the British English.
34.What does underlined word “conqueror” in Paragraph 4 mean?

A.Photographer.
B.Inventor.
C.Victor.
D.Teenager.

35.What can be learned from Paragraph 4?
A.English borrowed many words from French.
B.The Norman Invasion was led by King Harold II.
C.French has become the official language since 1066.
D.The Tower of London was built before the Norman Invasion.

W:Max,I want to buy Robert a pet for his birthday.But you know,our brother likes neither cats nor dogs.What do you think I should do?
M:His favorite is birds.How about buying a parrot for him?
W:I'm afraid it's not good. Mum hates keeping birds because they make a lot of noise.
M:Robert is also interested in little mice.What about buying him a mouse?
W:No,it's impossible. Don't you know that our sister Cathy has just got a pet cat?
M:Then why don't you buy him a rabbit?
W:But I think rabbits smell bad. What about a goldfish? They're very beautiful and easy to look after.
M:No,boys don't usually love goldfish. I suggest you buy him a snake. It's very unusual.I'm fond of that.
W:No,I don't think it's a good idea. You know,I'm terribly afraid of snakes.
M:I've got a good idea.Let's ask him and find out what he really likes and then we can go to the market to get one for him.
W:That sounds OK.

Talking about personal relationships,well,Id naturally think of my relationship with my mother. Whenever I need help,my mother is always there for me.She often tells me that I can be anyone I want, as long as I'm confident of myself. She sees my talent and pushes me to do the best I possibly can.As I was growing up,we were often on the move. I had to admit that moving so often made me feel lonely.But my mother did everything she could to help me feel happy.In fact,so much traveling was really a good thing because it made us close.I respect my mother so much as she never treats me as a child,but as an equal.She gives me the freedom to make mistakes and to learn from them all. Unlike friendships that can fade or break,I know I'll always be connected to my mother no matter what I face.She is not just a role model,but someone I love.
