一、阅读判断（本大题共10小题，每小题1分，共10分）

The British Summer

Britain is well known for its rainy climate. People joke that even in the summer time the country never gets any sun and that the skies stay disappointingly grey even during the months of July and August.

Last summer though, it was so hot that people could hardly believe it. British people weren't used to such high temperatures, so every day on the news there were stories about people struggling to work in such unusual weather conditions. Radio and television programmes also reminded everyone to drink more

water and not to stay too long in the sun.

When the sun comes out, British people tend to spend time in their garden if they h ave one. It’s common to invite friends and neighbou rs around for a barbecue, where everyone sits outside and eats food like grilled meat （烤肉）and salads. There's always a back-up plan in case of rain though, and the meal sometimes has to be cooked in the kitchen and eaten indoors.

People also spend a lot of time in parks during the summer, having picnics or playing sports. In every green area, there’s always at least one ice cream van, a kind of car that plays children’s music and sells ice creams.

Towns like Blackpool and Brighton are popular for their beaches and amusement arcades （游乐场）.People go there to swim, sunbathe and eat fish and chips. The water can be quite cold, though, and that’s why quite a lot of people prefer to go abroad for their summer holiday instead. Popular destinations include Spain, Germany and France: all countries that promise a lot of sunshine!

二、阅读选择（本大题共5小题，每小题2分，共10分）

Horse Talk

Do you know horses talk? You can learn to understand “horse talk” if you pay close attention to them.

When horses live in the wild, other animals try to eat them, so a lot of horse talk is about staying alive. Even now, when most horses live on farms, they watch for danger. For this reason, never walk behind a horse. If you surprise it, the horse might mistake you for a lion or wolf and give a dangerous kick.

By watching the ears, you can get clues to what the horse is hearing. A horse can turn each ear in a different direction. For a wild horse, this skill is important for survival. The horse can hear something creeping up behind it while also checking out a threatening noise in front. When a horse lets its ears down, it’s feeling safe and relaxed. Though these actions may be natural responses and not deliberate communications, they help you know what the horse is thinking.

Sometimes horses can send definite messages. For example, they know they are safer when they’re with other horses. If they become isolated, they “wh inny （嘶鸣），” calling for company. They’re saying, “Where are you? I’m over here!” Domestic horses use the same sounds to stay in touch with other horses.

If a horse snorts （打响鼻儿），it's not communicating anything. It’s just clearing dust or grass seed out of its nose. But if it snorts while holding its head high and staring at something, it’s saying. “That looks dangerous. Get ready to run!" When two horses meet, they put their noses together and smell each other's breath. It’s their way of asking, “Are you a friend?”

Horses also “blow "breathing out the air loudly through the nose, when they meet something strange. They are asking, “Is this safe?”

Horses have a language of their own. Now you know a bit of what they might be saying! 1）Horses in the wild “talk" mainly to________.

A. stay alive

B. make friends

C. find food

D. keep awake

2） It is dangerous to________.

A. touch a horse’s ears

B. ride a horse on farms

C. surprise a horse from behind

D. stare at a horse from front

3）A horse’s ears are special because they can________.

A. send messages

B. turn to different directions

C. sense temperatures

D. clear out the dust

4）When a horse’s ears are down, we know that it is________.

A. isolated

B. relaxed

C. angry

D. anxious

5） From the text, we know that horses________.

A. are dangerous animals

B. can hardly survive in the wild

C. prefer to stay in groups

D. have different language systems

三、概括段落大意和补全句子（本大题共10小题，每小题1分，共10分）

Hawaii, the Aloha State

① Hawaii is sometimes called “the Aloha State.” A loba is

a word in the Hawaiian language meaning love and peace. It is often used as a way to say “hello” or “goodbye.” Hawaii is like the word aloha, because it is a state that has two viewpoints: it remembers its history and looks toward the future.

② Haw aii is a . state made up of a group of islands in the Pacific Ocean. It is made up of eight large islands and over 100 other smaller islands. It is the only state that is not in North America. The islands were formed by volcanoes that erupted （爆发）and rose above the ocean. There are still active volcanoes in Hawaii.

③ Because of its location, Hawaii has a tropical climate. It is warm, but usually not hot, all year long. Rarely does the temperature drop below 60 degrees Fahrenheit （华氏温度）although it may occasionally snow at the top of some of the mountains.

④ Once called the Sandwich Islands by Europeans, Hawaii is thought to have been settled by ancient sailors from other islands in the Pacific. The British explorer Captain Cook thought to be the first European to find the islands in 1778. Because of its location, Hawaii became a frequent stop for European traders and ships. Hawaii was an independent country before it became part of the United States in 1893. It was governed by either a king or a queen. It is one of the only four . states to have been a country before statehood. It was admitted into the Union in 1959 as the 50th state.

⑤ Today Hawaii is important as a vacation destination. Each

year over 6 million people visit Hawaii to enjoy the beaches, the beautiful ocean, and the historical Hawaiian culture. Come and visit Hawaii. You are sure to love it!

Canberra winters are extremely cold, and 2014 brought some of our coldest days. One weekday night I walked to the 1 supermarket before it closed at midnight.

As I approached, I noticed a group of six or seven people 2 by the supermarket entrance. Aware of the 3 of late-night walking, I made sure I paid attention. The scene ahead looked unusual.

And unusual it was. Expecting to see a group of 4 troublemakers, I found a weak, well-dressed old man distributing items of food to a group of homeless people. Rather than just feeding them, he was also engaging them in a 5 of warm discussion.

The homeless people were rough-looking and 6 dressed. But they listened to the man 7, not just with gratitude for the food they had been 8. With no charity vehicle in sight, this old man was only representing himself.

They said she was strict and her class was hard to pass. So I was very nervous. The first time we met, Mrs. Johnson told us her class would be difficult, but she would give us new"tools"and guide us through She explained that her grading system was different,and that we would not see high scores soon."Everything you do in class matters," she said.“As writing is an art, it takes along time to perfect."

She knocked me down so that I could climb back stronger.

think about. By“green”we mean the impact on the environment. When looking to book a holiday, you will probably find that you are faced with two main decisions. The first is to go into a travel agency, pick up brochures(宣传册),read through them and go back with just one and book with the travel directly or over the phone. The second is to go onto the Internet. The Internet holds many advantages over the travel agencies. The main one is convenience. You can go online to look at holidays at any time of the day. The travel agents, however, are usually very busy at times when people can actually go, i.e. lunch hours or at the weekend. You could use the telephone, but you wouldn 't be able to see the pictures or the details of the holidays, so you would probably be sent a brochure anyway. There are websites on the Internet that make shopping for holiday deals much easier.These websites are known as price comparison websites. They search through lots of different tour operators, and the results are displayed on one page, from which you can choose.
