Walter Peak High Country Farm, on the western shores of Lake Wakatipu is famous in history. Its sheltered bays were used as camping sites by Maori travelling to the Mararoa and Oreti Rivers on Moa hunting and gathering expeditions.
Things to do
Situated on picturesque Lake Wakatipu's wester shores, the farm is the perfect place to spend a few relaxing hours. The Farm Tour itself is a wonderful experience for the whole family, with something to keep everyone entertained and happy.

The first stop is the holding to help feed the sheep and deer, and even get up close to the Scottish highland cattle.

A letter to the editor complained about someone stringing toilet paper on their trees． That letter brought a flood of responses defending this act as being harmless to friends： " It's an honor to get toilet papered"， said one writer， "and good fun for teenagers．"
Reading these letters brought me chuckles （轻声笑）and then tears as they woke old memories of my mother's ninety-second year． She was seriously ill that autumn． And I watched， powerless．
A decade before， I helped her break out" of the nursing home． It was a fine place with a caring staff． But Mom didn't want skilled care： she wanted to live on her own and just needed some assistance to do so． Being in a more restrictive environment than necessary was bad for her condition． The risk paid off， and I was rewarded by seeing my mother once again enjoying her life．
Ten years later， Mom's health declined， and my care-giving duties increased． One evening， for some unexplainable reason， I invited my mother to go toilet papering!
This outing would push my mother to her physical limits． Was I making a mistake？ Secretly we went to my brother's home． In his backyard， I handed Mom a roll of toilet paper． Without hesitation she shot it skyward…
Mom papered a dozen trees in four family yards that unforgettable evening． The day after our big adventure， Mom and I sent a card to each of our victim， signed "From your decorators"． We laughed all the way home from the post office， like two schoolgirls．
My mother's last year was marked by physical decline． However， we shared some simple fun each day． Those light-hearted moments were like a salve （慰藉），and they are the ones I'll always remember． Toilet papering has taught us that play is powerful medicine!
4. Why did the author cry when reading the letter？ ______
A. She was blamed for toilet papering．
B. It brought her childhood memory．
C. She thought of her sick mother．
D. It was very stressful．
5. The author helped her leave the nursing home in order that ______ ．
A. Mom could enjoy a free life
B. Mom could get more skilled home care
C. the nursing cost could be cut down
D. they could avoid taking risk
6. What can we learn from the mother's experience of toilet papering？ ______
A. They did some damage to four family yards．
B. They were made to apologize for their mistakes．
C. Toilet papering made her illness worsened．
D. Toilet papering brought them much pleasure．
7. What would be the best title for the text？ ______
A. A Letter of Complaint
B. Love Between Daughter and Mother
C. The Curing Power of Toilet Papering．
D. An Unforgettable Evening in Family Yards

Are you familiar with the greeting, "Can I add you on WeChat？" It seems like every time we meet new friends or colleagues nowadays, the first thing that springs to mind is adding each other on the app. Nevertheless, more than 80 percent of WeChat users report feeling stressed or anxious when they receive a large number of messages, according to a study done recently by the app's developer Tencent（腾讯）. In other words, WeChat can overwhelm（使应接不暇） us, while also breaking down the boundaries between our work and private lives.
Just think how easy it is now for bosses to hand out assignments during the holiday, so long as they have your WeChat contact. When you're at the cinema enjoying a romantic movie or having a barbecue in the backyard, you can never cut yourself off from the outside world unless you switch off your phone. Not to post something in WeChat Moments before replying to your boss first!
Apart from interrupting your leisure time, WeChat can also reduce your productivity at work. For many office workers, logging in to WeChat on their computers at the start of the day has become routine. But what if browsing the Moments distracts us from doing the work？ The app steals our time without us even noticing it, making us have the false belief that we are busy all the time.
And as if that weren't bad enough, there're the "one-off" friends who take up space on our WeChat friend list. A handy way to check how many one-off friends you have is to take a look at your chat history with them. Sometimes, you only sent the initial friend requests so you could invite them to a WeChat group or inform them of something for your boss. Yet still, as your friend count（好友数量） ever goes up, it can make you feel the need to post selfies（自拍） and share details of your life in your Moments, just so you can stay up to date.
With WeChat, all our spare time is swallowed up by the constant torrent of messages and our attention keeps getting diverted by Moments and pop-up ads. So it's time that we should do something to nip this problem in the bud.
8. What is most of WeChat users' reaction when receiving a mass of messages？ ______
A. They are quite upset. B. They think it's unavoidable.
C. They break down. D. They complain about Tencent.
9. Which of the following may make your boss angry according to Paragraph 2？ ______
A. Enjoying a movie at the weekend.
B. Posting something in WeChat Moments.
C. Having a barbecue on vacation.
D. Ignoring the assignment he handed out when seeing it.
10. How can we decide who is the one-off friend on our WeChat friend list？ ______
A. By checking if you sent the initial friend request.
B. By seeing if your boss asked you to inform him of something.
C. By having a look at your chat record.
D. By counting the number of your friends on the list.
11. What can be a suitable title for this text？ ______
A. Is WeChat becoming a necessity in our life？
B. Are WeChat friend requests ruining your life？
C. Does your boss want to be your WeChat friend？
D. Is it better to have more WeChat friends？
D
About 97% of the world's water is salty and is found in our oceans and seas.But as we can't drink seawater how can it be important？
Every part of our seas and oceans contains an amazing number of animals and fish that live at different ocean depths.Most of the different species of animals and fish depend on simple plants for their food.These simple plants called algae（海藻） drift near the surface of the ocean and use sunlight to turn carbon dioxide and water into food and oxygen.In fact,algae produce over half of the oxygen people breathe.How important seawater is!
Each plant or animal in our seas and oceans is an important link in a food chain.The algae are eaten in large amounts by microscopic animals which are in turn consumed by larger animals.These food chains are delicately balanced.The bad news about the food chains in the oceans is that they are under threat because of man.People once thought that the oceans were so big that it didn't matter if we dumped rubbish into them or caught huge quantities of fish and whales for food.But we now know this is not true and fish stocks in the oceans have started to drop.
Thankfully,the world is taking steps to protect the future of our oceans by introducing international agreements to protect marine habitats（海域）.Most countries have introduced fishing restrictions（限制） to protect fish stocks in the oceans and new techniques are being pioneered to deal with pollution.Finally the importance of protecting oceans is being made known to more people.This is just the beginning of a long process to protect the oceans for our future.We depend on the oceans for fish which are an important part of the human diet.How important seawater is!
12. People used to think that the rubbish thrown into the sea ______ .
A. wouldn't harm the fish in the sea
B. would change the balance of the food chain
C. would be broken down in the sea
D. wouldn't do much harm to the sea
13. From the passage,we learn that ______ .
A. most fish and sea animals live at the surface of the seas
B. it is very difficult to break the balance of a food chain
C. too much fishing has caused the decrease in fish stocks
D. it won't be long before the problems concerning oceans will be solved
14. Which of the following is NOT a way being used to protect oceans？ ______
A. The use of international agreements.
B. Forbidding fishing to protect fish stocks.
C. The use of new techniques.
D. Raising people's awareness of the need to protect oceans.
15. What would be the best title of the passage？ ______
A. The importance of seawater.
B. Life in the oceans.
C. How to protect food chains.
D. How to deal with seawater pollution.

详解：
1.before改为since.考查连词。句意：他从小就是我的同学。根据"He has been my classmate"可知，此处应用从属连词since表示"自从"，引导时间状语从句。故before改为since。
2.they改为he.考查代词。句意：作为我们学校最受欢迎的学生之一，他具备一个好学生应该具备的所有积极品质。结合语境可知，此处指代Bob，应用人称代词主格he。故they改为he。
3.had改为have.考查情态动词。句意：作为我们学校最受欢迎的学生之一，他具备一个好学生应该具备的所有积极品质。情态动词should后应接动词原形。故had改为have。
4.lend前加to.考查固定短语。句意：例如，无论谁需要帮助，他总是乐于伸出援手。be ready to do sth"乐于做某事"，固定用法。故lend前加to。
5.the改为a.考查冠词。句意：他还是一个安静、敏感的男孩，尽量不伤害任何人的感情。结合语境可知，此处泛指一个男孩，应用不定冠词，且quiet的发音以辅音音素开头，应用不定冠词a。故the改为a。
6.tried改为tries.考查时态和主谓一致。句意：他还是一个安静、敏感的男孩，尽量不伤害任何人的感情。分析可知，句子陈述的是客观情况，应用一般现在时，此处为who引导的限制性定语从句，先行词the boy为单数，在从句中作主语，谓语动词应用第三人称单数形式。故tried改为tries。
7.relaxed改为relaxing.考查形容词。句意：和他在一起的每一刻都是非常愉快和放松的。-ing形式的形容词修饰物，-ed修饰的形容词修饰人，此处的主语是every moment，所以应用relaxing。故relaxed改为relaxing。
8.luckily改为lucky.考查形容词。句意：有这样一位朋友，我真的觉得自己很幸运。分析可知，此处应用形容词作宾语补足语。故luckily改为lucky。
9.inspire改为inspiring.考查现在分词。句意：我相信有鲍勃的激励，将来我会成为一个更好的人。分析可知，此处为"with+宾语+宾补"的复合结构，Bob与inspire之间是逻辑上的主谓关系，故应用现在分词表主动作宾补。故inspire改为inspiring。
10.去掉and.考查连词。句意：我相信有鲍勃的激励，将来我会成为一个更好的人。分析可知，with Bob inspire me，and I will become a better person in the future为省略了that的宾语从句，从句中with复合结构作原因状语，故此处不需要用连词。故去掉and。
43.【答案】To whom it may concern,I am one of your customers.Recently,I ordered a silk scarf for my mum as a birthday gift.To my disappointment,there are the following problems.                      （开篇点题写信目的）
To begin with,it didn't arrive on schedule,which missed my mum's birthday and let me down.              【高分句型一】Besides,it is of the wrong color,which should be blue instead of red.Sadly,my mum hates red the most!What bothers me the most is the quality of the scarf.                          【高分句型二】It is not made of genuine silk and even gives off a bad smell,making the whole thing absolutely unacceptable!                  （投诉的内容）
I am not satisfied to have received such poor service,hoping that you can return my money or deliver a new one to me.I'd appreciate it if you can take it into consideration.                               （希望获得答复）
Looking forward to your reply.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
