Are you looking for some good places for you and your four-leg friend? Here are some for you.

Tahmoor Gorge(峡)

The number and quality of swimming holes in this valley immediately take us back to some of our favourite places in Kakadu national park. The only difference here is that you don’t need a four-wheel drive, so the best way to go to the gorge is walking. This pet-friendly walk follows the Bargo River through an open gorge that leads to a deep gorge. It is a popular place for locals on weekends. The further you run into the gorge, the less people there are.

Sirius Cove, Mosman

Sirius Cove is one of many quietly beautiful places along the Taronga Zoo to Balmoral Beach walking trail (路线). The deep, U-shaped bay, with a large grassy area, is popular with picnicking families and their dogs.

Kutti Beach, Vaucluse

We heard about it from a friend, but it is so hidden that it is not easy to find the entrance. Follow Wharf Road until its dead ends at the Vaucluse Amateur Sailing Club. Go right up to the building and look left. There is a very narrow set of stairs leading to the beach. Go down the steps and open the gate at the bottom. Follow the narrow road along the wall to the sand. The best bit? It’s dog-friendly.

MacKenzies Beach, Tamarama

From whale watching hot place MacKenzies Point, follow the sloped (斜的) road to MacKenzies Beach, a dog-friendly, short-time beach that only appears every couple of years when the right combination (结合) of wind and sand on the normal rocky reef. They say you aren’t a local until you’ve seen sand at MacKenzies.

31. What do we know about Tahmoor Gorge?

A. It’s a must to drive there. B. It’s a popular place on weekdays

C. It’s a good way to go there on foot D. It’s a popular place for foreign visitors

32. Which is the most hidden place according to the writer?

A. Tahmoor Gorge. B. Kutti Beach, Vaucluse.

C. Sirius Cove, Mosman. D. MacKenzies Beach, Tamarama.

33. What do the four places have in common?

A. They are beside the sea. B. They are dog-friendly.

C. They are places where whales are seen. D. They are open to the public only on weekends.

Ned wanted to escape from the Nautilus while we were in the Mediterranean. However, he had no chance. The submarine raced into the Atlantic in two days mostly staying deep under the water. I saw many shipwrecks along the way. Some were very old. Others were recent. As it surfaced, the submarine turned north.

Ned came to my room. “Tonight!” he said. “Tonight?” I wasn’t ready for this. “Tonight,” he repeated, “we are a few miles off the Spanish coast. It will be dark, and the wind is blowing in the right direction. You agreed, Dr Aronnax, to escape with me. Remember your promise!” I said nothing. “At nine, I will go to the staircase with Conseil. You will wait in the library for our signal. Everything is ready.”

“The sea is quite rough,” I said.

“Yes, but if we don’t go tonight, we will soon be too far from land!”

I knew he was right. I was also frightened. What would Captain Nemo do if he discovered our plan or if we failed? I had not seen him for several days. Now I didn’t want to see him. He might notice that I was nervous. I stayed in my room.

As I waited for Ned’s signal, the Nautilus’s engines stopped. I felt a bump as the submarine came to rest on the ocean floor.

The library door opened and Captain Nemo entered. He took me to the window. I found the crew of the Nautilus were gathering some gold from the sand and bringing it to the submarine. Now I knew how the Captain became so rich. “But of what use is all this gold to you?” I asked. “It’s of no use to me!” he replied, “but it can help people who are suffering.”

Ned came to my room the next morning. “We were unlucky. The Nautilus stopped just as we were about to escape.”

I told him what I had learned about Nemo and the gold. I hoped that Ned would change his mind, but he didn’t. The Nautilus was going away from the land. Escape was impossible now. Ned was disappointed, but I was not.

At eleven that night, I was surprised that Captain Nemo invited me to go for a night walk under the sea.

34. What reasons did Ned Land give for wanting to escape that night?

a. They were close to the Spanish coast.

b. There had been a lot of shipwrecks.

c. It would be dark.

d. The wind was blowing in the right direction.

A. He wanted to have a rest.

B. He wanted to collect some gold.

C. A Chance to Be Rich D. Helping Unlucky People

Whenever the sun dropped and the blue sky came up, my father and I used to climb the mountain near my house. Walking together, my father and I used to have a lot of conversations through which I learned lessons from his experiences. He always told me, “You should have goals like climbing the mountain.” Without the mountain-climbing that we both enjoyed, we couldn’t have enough time to spend together because my father was very busy. I really got a lot from the mountain-climbing. It gave me time to talk with my father and to be in deep thought as well as develop my patience.

Once we climbed a very high mountain. It was so challenging for me because I was only ten years old. During the first few hours of climbing, I enjoyed the flowers and trees, and the birds’ singing. But as time passed, I got a pain in both of my legs. I wanted to quit climbing, but my father said to me, “You can always see a beautiful sky at the top of the mountain, but you can’t see it before you reach the top. Only there can you see all of the nice things, which is just like your life.”

At that time, I was too young to understand his words. But later after that, I got to know the meaning of hope in life. I found myself standing at the top of the mountain, and the sky was as clear as crystal (水晶).

38. The underlined word “quit” in the passage means ________.

A. carry on B. put off C. give up D. pick up

39. Which of the following is the closest in meaning to the father’s words in the second paragraph?

A. Never give up halfway.

B. Don’t burn the candle at both ends.

C. You can find life is full of nice things.

D. You will get all you need at the top of the mountain.

40. We can infer (推断) from the last paragraph that ________.

A. the sky is always as clear as crystal

B. the writer was very successful in his life

C. though the writer was young, he could understand his father

D. the writer used to stop halfway when he climbed the mountain

41. The best title for the passage is ________.

A. Reaching the Top of the Mountain

B. Climbing the Mountain near My House

C. Conversations between Father and Son

D. Ways to Get to the Top of the Mountain

D

A sleepover (过夜) program, which is designed to make kids believe that their favorite toys enjoy reading, can help encourage children to pick up more books, a new study suggests.

Toys sleepover programs are designed to get children interested in books. Children take their toys to a library for the night. At this point, workers and volunteers take photos of the toys which explore the library and read books. The next day, the children collect their toys and the photos of what the toys did during the night. They are given the books that their toys chose to read.

It was found that before the sleepover, the children did not spend time looking at the books in their play area at preschool. After the sleepover, the number of children who read to the toys was higher than the number who did not, but after three days the effect decreased gradually.

The researchers also tested a method for keeping the effect. They reminded the children of the sleepover a month later, by hiding the toys and showing them the photos again the next day. This simple method brought an increase in the number of children reading to their toys.

The study proves for the first time that children who take part in sleepover programs read picture books to their toys more. “We wanted to know if there really was an effect, and if so, how long it lasts. Surprisingly, the children not only showed interest in the books, but also began to read to their toys. This means that a new behavior pattern appeared that the children hadn’t had before. We did not expect anything like this,” said one of the researchers.

Reading is important for the development of children’s language skills and imagination. When parents read to their children, it is a passive way of reading for the child. However, when children read to their toys, it is a more active, self-directed way of reading, helping them develop into more active readers, researchers said.

42. What is the purpose of the sleepover program?

A. To develop children’s language skills.

B. To help children to sleep well.

C. To encourage children to read more.

D. To guide children to form a good sleeping habit.

43. What do children do in the sleepover program?

A. Go around the library with their toys. B. Sleep with their toys.

C. Read together with their toys. D. Take their toys to the library.

44. The underlined word “decreased” in paragraph 3 may mean _______.

A. reduced B. increased C. appeared D. remained

45. What made the researchers surprised after the study of the sleepover program?

A. Children showed no interest in the books.

B. The effect of the sleepover program could last long.

C. Children began to read to their toys on their own.

D. Whether the sleepover program had an effect remained unknown.

I will never forget the tenth summer of childhood with my grandfather in western Norway at the mountain farm where my mother was born. As a boy, I always thought people simply bought whatever they needed. Whether grandfather knew this, I don’t know. One day he said, “Come, I have something for you.”

I followed him to a workroom. “You should have a toy boat. You can sail it at Storvassdal.” He said. Great, I thought, looking around for the boat. But there was none.

Grandfather pointed to a block of wood. “The boat is in there,” he said. Then he handed me some tools and showed me how to use them properly. “It’ll be a fine boat, and you’ll make it with your own hands,” he said, “No one can give you what you do for yourself.” The words rang in my head as I worked. Finally I finished the boat. It wasn’t much to look at, but I was proud. Then I sailed it at Storvassdal.

We had to return to America. “You can not bring that boat home with you,” my mother said. We already had too much baggage. Feeling sad, I hid my boat under a big rock at Storvassdal.

I said good-bye to grandfather, not knowing I would never see him again.

In 1964, I went to Storvassdal with my parents and my wife and children. To my surprise, for 34 years my treasure stayed here, waiting for my return. I felt we three were together again although my grandfather had died 22 years before.

I carved “1930” and “1964” on its side and put it back.

I returned to the lake in 1968,1971,1977 and 1988. Each time I had the boat and carved the year, my grandfather seemed near.

My last trip to Storvassdal was in 1991. I brought my granddaughters: Catherine, 13; Claire, 12. I hoped they would understand the importance of the little boat and its simple message. At Storvassdal, Claire said softly,“Grandpa, someday I’ll come back.” She added, “And I’ll bring my children.”

56. What is Storvassdal?
