Beautiful Glowing Beaches Around the World
If you need a reminder that nature is awesome, here are some beaches around the world that naturally glow (发光). Time to add these to your travel list!
Gippsland Lakes, Australia
During the day, the Gippsland Lakes are like any other: you can swim, water ski, or sail. But at night, the landscape begins to glow due to bioluminescent algae (生物发光的藻类). In 2006, massive rainstorms caused large amounts of algae to enter into the lakes. It glows whenever the water is disturbed, but it has slowly faded with time, which is welcome news for the lakes’ ecosystem.
The Maldives
This glowing beach in the Maldives is just one of the attractive features of the nation. The sand on this beach glows in the dark because of sea shrimp (海虾). These tiny organisms give out blue light for up to a minute, lighting up your path as you walk across the beach.
Halong Bay, Vietnam
Halong Bay is one of Vietnam’s most popular tourist destinations, but it’s not just because of its famous islands covered in green rainforests. At night, boat tours take people out on the water to see the blue-green light from the algae.
Dongying, China
The dreamlike sea in Dongying gives us a strong desire to travel unlike any other travel destination. The glow-in-the-dark algae is found mostly on the rock formations along the shoreline, which gives them a blue-green glow. Plus, it acts as a natural warning light if you’re swimming at night.
21．What can be inferred about the Gippsland Lakes?
A．They may stop glowing over time.
B．They are lit by algae during the day.
C．They are frequently hit by rainstorms.
D．They tend to be dangerous for swimmers.
22．In what way is the beach in the Maldives different from the others?
A．It isn’t a popular tourist destination. B．It is surrounded by rainforests.
C．Its light source isn’t algae. D．Its glow can last for a long time.
23．Where can you see glowing rocks?

C．On the beach in the Maldives. D．In Dongying.


B
Children are naturally curious about the world around them. When Chase Hansen was only 4 years old, he encountered homeless people for the first time while shopping with his dad at an outdoor mall in Salt Lake City, Nevada.  It’s no wonder that he had a lot of questions.
“Chase looked at me and said, ‘Dad, who are these people? Why don’t they have a place to stay?’” John Hansen recalled. “After I explained that they had run into hard times and were homeless, I knew that we were looking at an educational opportunity. My son wanted to help them.”
The father and son convinced a local Jamba Juice store to donate more than 100 smoothies(果汁)and the pair gave them out to homeless people in a park.
After that, they came up with an even better idea. “I wanted a way to get to know people better, “Chase said. ”So, my dad and I decided to start taking some of the homeless people we’d met out to lunch.
“A lot of people walk right past homeless people and don’t see the person,” he said. “I know now that they’re people just like us. They want to make a connection and not feel so alone in the world.”
Hundreds of lunches later, they run a self-funded charity called Project Empathy(同情)to help inspire others to meet and to create relationships with the homeless people in their neighborhoods. The organization provides a list of resources that can help homeless people with food, housing and employment.
John said that what started as a way to spend quality time with his son has turned into a passion for both of them. “Chase and I realized that the country needed an army of people to practice empathy, and that by doing something as simple as taking a homeless person to lunch, we could maybe inspire others to do the same, ”he said. “Any time you can help to give someone a voice, it’s empowering.
24．Which of the following can best describe Chase Hansen?
A．Curious and caring. B．Knowledgeable and kind.
C．Successful and talented. D．Generous and ambitious.
25．Why did John and his son take some homeless people out to lunch initially?
A．To help them to find the suitable shelter.
B．To make friends with the homeless people.
C．To do some research and prepare for a project.
D．To have a better understanding of the homeless people.
26．What’s the father and son super team’s goal?
A．To offer jobs to the homeless.
B．To change the social-economic conditions.
C．To donate more smoothies to the homeless.
D．To inspire more people to help the homeless.
27．What’s the best title of the text?
A．The Terrible Situation of Homeless People
B．The Relationship Between Father and Son
C．Father and Son Help Homeless People One Meal at a Time
D．Project Empathy Encourages People to Practice Empathy

C
Languages have been coming and going for thousands of years, but in recent times there has been less coming and a lot more going. When the world was still populated by hunter-gatherers, small, tightly knit(联系) groups developed their own patterns of speech independent of each other. Some language experts believe that 10,000 years ago, when the world had just five to ten million people, they spoke perhaps 12,000 languages between them.
Soon afterwards, many of those people started settling down to become farmers, and their languages too became more settled and fewer in number. In recent centuries, trade, industrialization, the development of the nation-state and the spread of universal compulsory education, especially globalisation and better communications in the past few decades, all have caused many languages to disappear, and dominant languages such as English, Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over.
At present, the world has about 6,800 languages. The distribution of these languages is hugely uneven. The general rule is that mild zones have relatively few languages. Often spoken by many people while hot, wet zones have lots, often spoken by small numbers. Europe has only around 200 Languages: the Americas about 1,000, Africa 2,400; and Asia and the Pacific perhaps 3,200, of which Papua New Guinea alone accounts for well over 800. The median number(中位数) of speakers is a mere 6，000, which means that half the worlds languages are spoken by fewer people than that.
Already well over 400 of the total of 6,800 languages are close to extinction(消亡), with only a few elderly speakers left. Pick, at random, Busuu in Cameroon (eight remaining speakers), Chiapaneco in Mexico(150). Lipan Apache in the United States(two or three) or Wadjigu in Australia (one, with a question-mark): none of these seems to have much chance of survival.
28．What can we infer about languages in hunter-gatherer times?
A．They developed very fast. B．They were large in number.
C．They had similar patters. D．They were closely connected
29．Which of the following best explains "dominant" underlined in paragraph 2？
A．Complex. B．Advanced.
C．Powerful. D．Modern.
30．How many languages are spoken by less than 6, 000 people at present?
A．About 6,800 . B．About 3,400
C．About 2,400 D．About 1,200.
31．What is the main idea of the text?
A．New languages will be created.
B．Peoples lifestyles are reflected in languages.
C．Human development results in fewer languages.
D．Geography determines language evolution.

D
Libraries have existed for nearly as long as humans have had written languages. They have been esteemed (受尊敬的) places of learning and comprehensive repositories (储藏室) of human knowledge, history, and ideas. Written materials from all over the civilized world have been collected and preserved in libraries and without them much of what was known to ancient peoples would have been lost in the moden world.
Open societies especially like the free exchange of ideas and information—all ideas, not just those that are socially acceptable at a particular point in time and all opinions, no just mainstream ones.
Our public libraries need to be places that broaden our perspectives and stretch our minds and imaginations. There’s no reason to ban any books from the general public. That’s not to say all books are appropriate for all age groups. But it’s easy enough to limit access of the very young to “adult” literature without preventing mature readers from a full range of materials.
Private libraries may sometimes regard certain topics as too offensive (冒犯的) or objectionable to include in their collection. And elementary school libraries should probably not include books that would be inappropriate for young children on their bookshelves. All libraries have to be selective, due to limited budgets, and space and age are always considered in acquisition (购置) decisions. But this is very different from actually banning specific titles.
And who is to decide what is acceptable and what is not? Should we get rid of all materials that are unconventional, that challenge the present situation, or that make anyone uncomfortable? Should we restrict all materials in public libraries to what is inoffensive to the most sensitive members of society or to what overprotective parents believe will not disturb young children?
Open societies, as they say, are messy. The Harry Potter novels may be the greatest children’s books ever written. Howard Zinn’s A People’s History of the United States may be a publication of nation’s rich history, but sometimes brutal history to some else, especially those ever hurt by the country. Anyway, libraries exist to preserve all human thoughts and recorded experience.
32．Which of the following does the author most probably agree with?
A．All books are suitable for all age groups.
B．It’s a right decision to ban some bad books.
C．Many young readers have become mature ones.
D．Ideas which are not the mainstream should be accepted.
33．What can we learn from the text?
A．The libraries should be child-friendly.
B．Some libraries have their unique needs.
C．Public libraries are better than private ones.
D．Libraries should get rid of conventional materials.
34．What does the underlined word “brutal” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A．Cruel. B．Strange. C．Unfamiliar. D．Important.
35．What does the text mainly talk about?
A．The history of libraries around the world.
B．The classification of books in libraries.
C．Whether some books should be banned in libraries.
D．The differences between public and private libraries.

第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
根据短文内容，从短文后的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。
When you think about art, you might think of it as permanent. After all, that picture you drew in kindergarten might still hang on your refrigerator years later. ___36___ Think about a Broadway performance. When it’s over, it’s over. Sure, it might live on in your memory or on film. But the live show was a special event. It was limited to one time and place.
Can you think of other forms of art that are temporary? ___37___ Have you ever spent hours building a beautiful sandcastle? If you have, you probably were sad when it was time to leave the beach. You knew your work of art would be gone as soon as the tide came in. The sandy beach is a canvas(油画布) that nature erases daily.
Most of the time, art made from sand can’t last long. Still, many people love using sand to create their own unique vision of beauty. ___38___ It is a type of live performance art. Artists who work in sand animation use sand to make a set of images that usually tell a story. They often start with a large amount of sand on a flat surface, such as a table. They then use their hands and fingers to draw in the sand.
___39___ However, the wide variety of beautiful and highly-detailed sand artworks might surprise you. Many of these works of art are temporary. That’s where the animation part comes in.
Sand animation artists create a series of images that move to tell a story. They might also use music and special lighting to complete the effect. Sometimes they take photographs of or video their creation throughout the process. ___40___
A．Not all works of art are permanent, though.
B．Sand animation is beautiful but lasts only at the moment.
C．If you’re a fan of the beach, sandcastles might come to mind.
D．One of the most attractive types of sand art is sand animation.
E．Then, they turn it into a sand animation movie when it’s finished.
F．It might seem like using sand would limit the art you could make.
G．Building a sand castle is a family-friendly activity perfect for large groups.

Have a go yourself. Engage in _____55_____, rather than just looking or listening. Then cover the list and see how _____56_____ your memory works.
Every day you encounter material that would be useful to _____57_____. Do something — almost _____58_____—to get learning going.

Children are naturally curious about the world around them. When Chase Hansen was only 4 years old, he encountered homeless people for the first time while shopping with his dad at an outdoor mall in Salt Lake City, Nevada.  It’s no wonder that he had a lot of questions.
“Chase looked at me and said, ‘Dad, who are these people? Why don’t they have a place to stay?’” John Hansen recalled. “After I explained that they had run into hard times and were homeless, I knew that we were looking at an educational opportunity. My son wanted to help them.”
The father and son convinced a local Jamba Juice store to donate more than 100 smoothies(果汁)and the pair gave them out to homeless people in a park.
After that, they came up with an even better idea. “I wanted a way to get to know people better, “Chase said. ”So, my dad and I decided to start taking some of the homeless people we’d met out to lunch.
“A lot of people walk right past homeless people and don’t see the person,” he said. “I know now that they’re people just like us. They want to make a connection and not feel so alone in the world.”
Hundreds of lunches later, they run a self-funded charity called Project Empathy(同情)to help inspire others to meet and to create relationships with the homeless people in their neighborhoods. The organization provides a list of resources that can help homeless people with food, housing and employment.
John said that what started as a way to spend quality time with his son has turned into a passion for both of them. “Chase and I realized that the country needed an army of people to practice empathy, and that by doing something as simple as taking a homeless person to lunch, we could maybe inspire others to do the same, ”he said. “Any time you can help to give someone a voice, it’s empowering.
24．Which of the following can best describe Chase Hansen?
A．Curious and caring. B．Knowledgeable and kind.
C．Successful and talented. D．Generous and ambitious.
25．Why did John and his son take some homeless people out to lunch initially?
A．To help them to find the suitable shelter.
B．To make friends with the homeless people.
C．To do some research and prepare for a project.
D．To have a better understanding of the homeless people.
26．What’s the father and son super team’s goal?
A．To offer jobs to the homeless.
B．To change the social-economic conditions.
C．To donate more smoothies to the homeless.
D．To inspire more people to help the homeless.
27．What’s the best title of the text?

Languages have been coming and going for thousands of years, but in recent times there has been less coming and a lot more going. When the world was still populated by hunter-gatherers, small, tightly knit(联系) groups developed their own patterns of speech independent of each other. Some language experts believe that 10,000 years ago, when the world had just five to ten million people, they spoke perhaps 12,000 languages between them.
Soon afterwards, many of those people started settling down to become farmers, and their languages too became more settled and fewer in number. In recent centuries, trade, industrialization, the development of the nation-state and the spread of universal compulsory education, especially globalisation and better communications in the past few decades, all have caused many languages to disappear, and dominant languages such as English, Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over.
At present, the world has about 6,800 languages. The distribution of these languages is hugely uneven. The general rule is that mild zones have relatively few languages. Often spoken by many people while hot, wet zones have lots, often spoken by small numbers. Europe has only around 200 Languages: the Americas about 1,000, Africa 2,400; and Asia and the Pacific perhaps 3,200, of which Papua New Guinea alone accounts for well over 800. The median number(中位数) of speakers is a mere 6，000, which means that half the worlds languages are spoken by fewer people than that.
Already well over 400 of the total of 6,800 languages are close to extinction(消亡), with only a few elderly speakers left. Pick, at random, Busuu in Cameroon (eight remaining speakers), Chiapaneco in Mexico(150). Lipan Apache in the United States(two or three) or Wadjigu in Australia (one, with a question-mark): none of these seems to have much chance of survival.
28．What can we infer about languages in hunter-gatherer times?
A．They developed very fast. B．They were large in number.
C．They had similar patters. D．They were closely connected
29．Which of the following best explains "dominant" underlined in paragraph 2？
A．Complex. B．Advanced.
C．Powerful. D．Modern.
30．How many languages are spoken by less than 6, 000 people at present?
A．About 6,800 . B．About 3,400
C．About 2,400 D．About 1,200.
31．What is the main idea of the text?
A．New languages will be created.
B．Peoples lifestyles are reflected in languages.
C．Human development results in fewer languages.
D．Geography determines language evolution.

Libraries have existed for nearly as long as humans have had written languages. They have been esteemed (受尊敬的) places of learning and comprehensive repositories (储藏室) of human knowledge, history, and ideas. Written materials from all over the civilized world have been collected and preserved in libraries and without them much of what was known to ancient peoples would have been lost in the moden world.
Open societies especially like the free exchange of ideas and information—all ideas, not just those that are socially acceptable at a particular point in time and all opinions, no just mainstream ones.
Our public libraries need to be places that broaden our perspectives and stretch our minds and imaginations. There’s no reason to ban any books from the general public. That’s not to say all books are appropriate for all age groups. But it’s easy enough to limit access of the very young to “adult” literature without preventing mature readers from a full range of materials.
Private libraries may sometimes regard certain topics as too offensive (冒犯的) or objectionable to include in their collection. And elementary school libraries should probably not include books that would be inappropriate for young children on their bookshelves. All libraries have to be selective, due to limited budgets, and space and age are always considered in acquisition (购置) decisions. But this is very different from actually banning specific titles.
And who is to decide what is acceptable and what is not? Should we get rid of all materials that are unconventional, that challenge the present situation, or that make anyone uncomfortable? Should we restrict all materials in public libraries to what is inoffensive to the most sensitive members of society or to what overprotective parents believe will not disturb young children?
Open societies, as they say, are messy. The Harry Potter novels may be the greatest children’s books ever written. Howard Zinn’s A People’s History of the United States may be a publication of nation’s rich history, but sometimes brutal history to some else, especially those ever hurt by the country. Anyway, libraries exist to preserve all human thoughts and recorded experience.
32．Which of the following does the author most probably agree with?
A．All books are suitable for all age groups.
B．It’s a right decision to ban some bad books.
C．Many young readers have become mature ones.
D．Ideas which are not the mainstream should be accepted.
33．What can we learn from the text?
A．The libraries should be child-friendly.
B．Some libraries have their unique needs.
C．Public libraries are better than private ones.
D．Libraries should get rid of conventional materials.
34．What does the underlined word “brutal” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A．Cruel. B．Strange. C．Unfamiliar. D．Important.
35．What does the text mainly talk about?
A．The history of libraries around the world.
B．The classification of books in libraries.
C．Whether some books should be banned in libraries.
D．The differences between public and private libraries.

When you think about art, you might think of it as permanent. After all, that picture you drew in kindergarten might still hang on your refrigerator years later. ___36___ Think about a Broadway performance. When it’s over, it’s over. Sure, it might live on in your memory or on film. But the live show was a special event. It was limited to one time and place.

Most of the time, art made from sand can’t last long. Still, many people love using sand to create their own unique vision of beauty. ___38___ It is a type of live performance art. Artists who work in sand animation use sand to make a set of images that usually tell a story. They often start with a large amount of sand on a flat surface, such as a table. They then use their hands and fingers to draw in the sand.
___39___ However, the wide variety of beautiful and highly-detailed sand artworks might surprise you. Many of these works of art are temporary. That’s where the animation part comes in.
Sand animation artists create a series of images that move to tell a story. They might also use music and special lighting to complete the effect. Sometimes they take photographs of or video their creation throughout the process. ___40___
A．Not all works of art are permanent, though.
B．Sand animation is beautiful but lasts only at the moment.
C．If you’re a fan of the beach, sandcastles might come to mind.
D．One of the most attractive types of sand art is sand animation.
E．Then, they turn it into a sand animation movie when it’s finished.
