Four things that you can’t miss in Macao

Macao Tower AJ Hackett Bungee Jump

The Macao Tower, 338 meters is the world’s 10th highest tower, with a variety of activities, such as gambling, eating and entertainment. One of the acclaimed activities is the bungee jump. The AJ Hackett Macao Tower Bungee Jump is 233 meters high, making it the highest commercial bungee jump in the world. Raise your arms and off you go! If you are not daring enough to jump that height, you can try the skywalk on the 57th floor ---it’s still remarkable.

Grabbing a traditional Portuguese dinner

Macao was colonized by Portugal before 1999. As a result, Portuguese culture is deeply immersed into many comers of Macao. Many Portuguese settled and opened Portuguese restaurants in the special administrative region, but the flavor is more adaptable to Chinese people.

Marking at the Ruins of St Paul

The Ruins of St. Paul is the significant landmark of Macao. The ruins consist of the St. Paul’s College and the Church of St Paul, built in 1583. However, after three intense fires in 1595, 1601 and 1835, the church was seriously damaged. It is beyond belief that after the vigorous cycles of rebuilding and fires, the huge surface and the front stairway remain unburned.

Visiting a museum

Macao, as a tiny city with only an area of 30.5 square kilometers, has 23 eye-catching museums. Due to its unique history, both eastern and western historical sites can be found. Many of them are preserved for cultural heritage, tourist spots or museum, such as the Grand Prix Museum, Maritime Museum and Wine Museum.

21. Which activity probably interests John, an adventure lover, when he visits Macao?

A. Visiting a museum.               B. Going Bungee Jumping.

C. Marking at the Ruins of St Paul.     D. Grabbing a traditional Portuguese dinner.

22. What do “Grabbing a traditional Portuguese dinner” and “Visiting a museum” have in common?

A. Taking a selfie in it.               B. Finding historical sites

C. Enjoying a breathtaking experience.  D. Feeling both eastern and western cultures.

23. What can we learn from the text?

A. Macao Tower is the world’s highest tower.   

B. The Portuguese restaurants’ food in Macao is more suitable for Chinese.      

C. After three big fires, the Church of St Paul was completely destroyed.      

D. Many historical sites in Macao are not well protected.

B

It was the beginning of another school year. I had agreed to teach all struggling students in need of critical intervention(介入). I knew what lay ahead—tough work hours overlaid with guilt, consumed with essays that needed feedback and lesson plans with best practice strategies. No wonder people always acknowledge my teaching career with, “I’m glad it’s you and not me.”
   Suddenly, my mind transported me to my first few years of teaching.
   “Peter Potter，” I called from my name list, trying to control my laughter. “Laughlin McLaughlin？” Surely these were not real names.
   “Emotionally disabled...keeps them separated from the other kids...，” the vice headmaster commanded. This was my first teaching assignment.
   Surely this year could never be as discouraging as those first few. In my new classroom, I looked into the face of Jason. At eleven, his mother was killed in an accident, leaving him with physical, academic, and certainly emotional scars. I looked at another student, Robert, standing at the door; my vice headmaster asked if I would take him, even though he was an eleventh grader in my tenth grade class.
   But then there were—and are—stories of success—of Dustin, in Graduate School for Electrical and Computer Engineering; of Michael, now a teacher in a city school; of Willie...I thought of the thousands of students whose lives have touched mine far more than I could have ever touched theirs.
   I broke from my daydream, a smile spreading across my face. Sadness, tears, challenges, fears—yes, teaching is filled with all of these—yet, it is also filled with laughter and smiles, hope, dreams, and rewards beyond measure.
   “I’m glad it’s you and not me.” Those words resounded in my mind once again.
24. What might the author’s job be like?
   A. Easy.              B. Boring.           C. Interesting.        D. Challenging.
25. What does the underlined sentence imply?
   A. These people would like to teach.         B. These people did not like the author.
   C. These people would not want this job.       D. These people wanted to learn from the author.
26. Why did the author mention Jason and Robert?
   A. To show her regrets about taking up teaching.

B. To introduce the basic situation of her students.
   C. To express her dissatisfaction with the school.

D. To stress the importance of family education.

27. How did the author feel thinking of the successful students?
A. She was doing a worthwhile job.
B. She could never go back to the past.
C. She was the inspiration behind the success stories.
D. She would never make greater achievements in the future.

Darby’s uncle was caught by the “gold fever” in the gold-rush days, and went west to dig and grow rich. After months of labor, he was rewarded by the discovery of the shining ore (矿石). He needed machinery to bring the ore to the surface. So, with the “strike”, he returned home. And with the help of Darby, he borrowed a lot of money. After buying the machinery and having it shipped, Uncle and Darby went back to work the mine.

The first car of ore was mined. And the returns proved they had one of the richest mines in Colorado! Down went the drills! Up went the hopes of Uncle and Darby!

Then something happened! The vein (矿脉) of gold ore disappeared! They drilled on, but all in vain. Finally, they decided to quit and sold the machinery to a junk man for a few hundred dollars. The junk man called in a mining engineer to look at the mine and do a little calculating. The engineer’s calculations showed that the vein would be found just three feet from where the Darbys had stopped drilling! The junk man took millions of dollars in the vein, because he knew enough to seek expert’s advice before giving up.

Most of the money which went into the machinery was borrowed through the efforts of Darby, who was then a very young man. The money came from his relatives because of their faith in him. He paid back every dollar of it, although he was years in doing so.

Long afterward, Mr. Darby made another discovery that desire can be changed into gold. This discovery came after he went into the business of selling life insurance. Remembering that he lost a huge fortune, for he stopped three feet from gold, Darby profited by the experience in his chosen work, saying to himself, “I stopped three feet from gold, but I will never stop because men say ‘no’ when I ask them to buy insurance.”

Darby sold more than a million dollars in life insurance annually. He owes his “stickability” to the lesson he learned from his “quitability” in the gold mining business.

28. Darby’s uncle went back home to ______.

A. receive his reward                  B. seek financial support

C. look for more helpers       D. consult an engineer

29. The Darbys failed in mining business because of ______.

A. quitting drilling on      B. the disappearance of the vein

C. the shortage of the machinery     D. competing against the junk man

30. From the passage, we can know Darby ______.

A. was unable to pay off the debts           B. mined his gold from the failure

C. learned a lesson from selling insurance     D. devoted himself to making new discoveries

31. The author intends to tell us that ______.

A. hopes and difficulties exist side by side       

B. correct decisions stems from correct judgment

C. we should catch it when an opportunity comes

D. we won’t reach our goal unless we insist

D

Wherever we humans go, we leave behind a mess. That goes for space, too. An estimated 500,000 pieces of debris (碎片) litter the Earth’s orbit as a result of man’s explorations of space. Some satellites have been hit by fast-moving pieces of junk. The remains of old rockets can be the size of a bus, while other debris pieces are simply tiny spots of paint.

Today, our species is responsible for the junk dashing around Earth at high speeds, and if we don’t start actively removing the largest pieces, the risk of collisions will only grow worse. “Imagine how dangerous sailing the high seas would be, if all the ships ever lost in history were still floating on top of the water.” says Jan Wörner, ESA director general, “That is the current situation in orbit, and it cannot be allowed to continue.”

It’s almost as if we need a truck to remove all of failed satellites from our orbit. By 2025, the agency plans on launching the world’s first orbiting junk collector, a four-armed robot that tracks down space waste. The first-of-its-kind task, known as ClearSpace-1, will start collecting only a single piece of space junk to prove the concept works. The target in this case is called Vespa, a leftover from ESA’s Vega rocket launch in 2013. This piece of junk weighs roughly the same as a small satellitle and has a simple shape that should make it easy to grab with four robotic arms. Once it’s safely in the arms of the garbage collector, it will then be dragged out of orbit and allowed to burn up in the atmosphere.

In addition, an Australian company, Electro Optic Systems, has received a $ 3.5 million government fund to develop the world’s first laser tracking (激光跟踪) technology. It would replace existing radar (雷达) networks that currently monitor that part of space. The goal is to track small objects with great accuracy.

32. Why does Jan Wörner refer to ships on the high seas?

A. To explain the danger of space debris.         B. To describe the universe’s huge space.

C. To praise man’s explorations of space.         D. To compare the oceans with the universe.

33. Humans plan to handle debris by____________.

A. ClearSpace-1 and Vespa

B. ESA’s Vega rocket launch and radar networks

C. the orbiting junk collector and the first laser tracking technology

D. truck to remove all of failed satellites and track small objects

34. What can be a suitable title for the text?

A. Dangerous Space Exploration           B. Cleaning up Space Junk Pieces

C. Developing Space Technology           D. Launching A Four-armed Robot

35. Where is this text probably from?

A. An astronomy report.                  B. A travel guidebook.

C. A science fiction.                    D. An environmental magazine.

第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）

根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

If I could offer you a magic drug that would make you happier, healthier, more optimistic and more productive, and cost nothing and will require very little effort, would you be interested？Of course you would！Science tells us that an “attitude of gratitude” is a good health choice.   36    And gratitude requires little time and no money. But why can gratitude improve our productivity and results？

  37   We learn the importance of saying “thank you” as little children. This childhood lesson is extremely of great use.   38   How do you feel about them? Does their appreciation positively impact your relation with them? Of course it does! So be grateful for people, their contributions and their actions and make sure you let them know how you feel.

  Gratitude improves problem solving skills. Too often we look at problem solving with a very bored or exhausted view.   39   We also enter a problem solving situation with a perspective of pavement and opportunity rather than challenge or issue.

  Gratitude helps us learn. Every dark cloud has a silver lining. Behind every problem lies an opportunity.  40 

So, the more aware and grateful we are of what we have and our capabilities, the more capable and elective we become in living.

 A. Gratitude improves attitudes.

 B. Gratitude improves relationships.

 C. Being more grateful often makes us happier and more optimistic. 

 D. Think about those people that you know who are most appreciative of you.

E. Grateful people experience fewer aches and pains and report feeling healthier than other people.

F. However, when we think about what we are grateful for, we open our minds up to new possibilities and connections.

G. Being grateful for our situation, even if we don’t like everything about it, allows us to be thankful for opportunity to learn something new.

   Have you seen people who take pictures of food for more than 10 minutes before eating? How about those who beautify their selfie (自拍) so much that they can’t be 41 ? There must be one or more who  42  in your social media. No matter  43  they choose to share, they share the best but the most unreal.

Take my friend Chen for example. Every time we went to a restaurant, she would not take a  44__ until all the dishes we  45 were on the table. Then, she would spend five minutes on  46  the dishes in a seemingly random but in fact  47  order. Then the most important part: taking pictures. After that, she would choose one of the  48  and click in the filter(滤镜) app. The food eventually looked 10 times more delicious than it really was, but we had no  49  to really enjoy it — it all went cold. Actually Chen's real life is much less elegant. For example, she hates to wash the dishes, so she leaves them in the sink for 50 .

Many people care too much about others’ opinions and try too hard to  51 others. They find it hard to be  52  and to accept themselves, and thus they are afraid to show their  53  life on social media. What they are trying to prove is 54 what they lack in reality. But this will not bring any 55   to reality, as they still 56  the same old pattern of life.

If they really want an elegant life, they should put more 57  into achieving it 58  fabricating(伪造) it. Being more confident,  59  themselves and trying their best to be better is much more meaningful than  60  their life on social media.

41. A. envied   B. admired  C. defeated  D. recognized

42. A. survive   B. exist  C. flood  D. spot

43. A. what B. how  C. where  D. whom
