China is famous for its food and has already given me many memorable experiences． There are lots of Chinese restaurants in Australia, but I was told that they were very different from what I would find in China． So I had no idea what I would be eating when I moved ________．And now, almost eight months since I arrived, I'm still discovering the strange and wonderful world of Chinese food． And I haven't seen any local restaurants serving prawn crackers （虾片） or sweet and sour pork which I enjoyed in Australia．Perhaps my most memorable meal so far was at a traditional hot pot restaurant． I have eaten plenty of hot pots before, but this one was really, really hot． My friends watched with interest as I tried duck blood, duck neck and duck intestines （肠）． I would try anything once, so I was happy to give it a go． But I don't think I'll be trying duck blood or intestines again．Walking through Wangfujing's night market in Beijing was another interesting experience． I tried scorpion （蝎子） on a stick, sea urchin （海胆） and many other strange﹣looking animals． One thing I have noticed in China is that people love to eat everything on sticks．But the thing I like most about Chinese food is that you don't have to search very hard to find it． There are people selling delicious things on almost every corner, and there is always a restaurant nearby in Beijing．It's almost impossible to go hungry in China． The only question is: What should I try next?（1）． What does the word " ________" in Paragraph 1refer to （所指）？________A China．B Australia．C The USA．D England．（2）． The writer tried duck blood， duck neck and duck intestines because________．A he thought they were delicious．B he wanted to give everything a try．C they were famous in the hot pot restaurant．D his friends encouraged him to do so．（3）． From the passage， we can know________．A the writer really loves to eat everything on sticks．B there is always a restaurant on every corner of China．C it's hard to find prawn crackers or sweet and sour pork in Australia．D the writer seldom gets hungry in China because of so much delicious food．19. Do you find it hard to learn math and history? A recent study carried out by scientists from University of London, may be of help to you． They found that teenagers could get higher marks in math if they studied in the morning and better grades in history if they were taught in the afternoon．The researchers did a study at a secondary school in Bulgaria over nine years． The results showed that when teenagers had math classes earlier in the day, they scored on average （平均） 7percent higher in tests than when taught in the afternoon． Lower﹣ability students did worst when they were studying math in the afternoon．In history, students taught in the afternoon scored on average 6percent higher than when they were taught in the morning． However, it doesn't work for other subjects such as languages or geography．Velichka Dimitrova, leader of the study, said the findings show that we do better at different times of the day．"In the morning, our brains are better and fresher, so we are better at doing something that repeats a lot like problem solving, where we require more speed and attention, " Dimitrova told The Telegraph．"In the afternoon, it seems that this process （过程） slows down． On the otherhand, history is better suitable for the afternoon, when we are more creative and open to discussion, " she said．Subjects such as foreign languages require both memory and repetition （重复）, andthey also need people to be creative． This is perhaps why the time of day has no influenceon learning．Time﹣of﹣day effects such as those are believed to be connected to the body clock． This is the system in our bodies that controls when we need to sleep． Some schools in the USand UK have tried out later school starting times for teenagers, whose body clocks change as they grow into adults．Dimitrova believes schools should take this chance to improve students' performance just by changing their timetables．（1）． According to the study， students taught in the morning do better in________．A history．B English．C geography．D math．（2）． It is believed that the time﹣of﹣day effects have something to do with astudent's________．A age．B hobby．C body clock．D learning habit．（3）． History is better suitable for the afternoon because________．A it is an easy subject for students to learn．B we are more creative and open to discussion．C our brains are better and fresher in the afternoon．D it's easier to pay more attention to the work we are doing．（4）． Dimitrova is sure that________．A it is better to learn history and math in the morning．B changing timetables properly can improve students' performance．C different times of a day have some influence on learning languages．D it makes no difference for lower﹣ability students to learn math in the afternoon．（5）． What is the main idea of the passage？________A The good advice on managing a school．B The importance of learning history and math．C The good ways to get higher scores in history and math．D The influence of timetables on history and math learning．20. I'm not the kind of mother who normally brushes and styles her daughter's hair, and my daughter has never liked sitting quietly long enough for me to do it．But today, I put a chair outside and let my daughter Sally sit on it． She was sitting high with her eyes closed, skin still wet from the shower, and her messy hair behind her back． I realized she was taking in every touch from my hands． It was the last time for a week that our bodies would connect． Today, I would send Sally away for a week of summer camp． She didn't ask to go． This was all my idea． She's nearly 12, and I notice that I'm with my child nearly 24hours a day．Living on a farm without any neighbors, I've chosen a life that is quieter than a usual family's． But instead of requiring space away from me, Sally has increasingly depended on me．What worries me most is that she has become a "mini﹣me"． She follows my hobbies, my dreams, and my opinions． And that was why I pulled her to the summer camp, a nearby wilderness （荒野） camp called Hawk Circle．After we ate, I drove Sally to Hawk Circle． Once there, we got a tour of the grounds and were introduced to other campers． Sally stood by the group of children, holding my hand, horror in her eyes, trying to work up the courage to join a game of soccer． "I need you for a few more minutes, " she told me, holding my hand tightly （紧紧地）．I pulled away and walked up to one of the camp's workers． "Excuse me, " I said loudly, "I'd like to introduce you to my daughter． Maybe you could help her meet a few of these kids．" He came over to talk to Sally, and I kissed her and then I disappeared before she realized I was gone．On my way home, I felt a piece of my soul had been taken from my body． I began to shake． The tears （泪水） came down my face． It took every bit of my strength to keep driving forward．When I arrived home, I calmed down and reminded myself why I chose this path． I thought to myself, "I want Sally to have a chance to find herself, out of my ________． I don't want to see only myself in my child． I want to learn who she is． If I don't set her free, Ifear I'll never really meet her real personality．"After 12years of being together, I want to finally meet my daughter for the first time．（1）． Sally would be away from her mother for________．A a day．B a week．C a month．D a year．（2）． From Paragraph 6， we can know Sally was very________．A nervous．B happy．C excited．D amazed．（3）．What did the mother do when the daughter asked her to stay for a while？________A She left at once without saying a word．B She agreed to stay with her．C She brushed and styled her daughter's hair．D She helped her get help and then left．（4）． What's the Chinese meaning of the word " ________" in Paragraph 9？________A 影子．B 保障．C 困境．D 联系．（5）． What's the true meaning of the last sentence in the passage？________A The mother hasn't met her daughter before．B The mother doesn't know her daughter very well．C The mother has lived with her daughter for 12 years．D The mother wants to teach her daughter to be herself．四、填空（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）21.

We've probably all met someone who likes to show off about where he or she has been． To some people， traveling is all about how many places one has been to． But luckily， the old "been there， seen that" mode is changing．Last year's travel trend （趋势） was "experiential travel"． This is where tourists look for ways to get to know local culture and meet local people so they feel less like an outsider．So what about this year？ Can creative tourists get even more out of their traveling experience？Transformative travelTransformative （起改变作用的） travel is much like "experiential travel"， but takes it a step further．It usually goes through three steps ﹣ you go to a place that has a very different background from where you live， you learn wisdom from the new culture and the people you meet，and finally you go back home and use the knowledge in your own lives． This last step ishow the "transformation" is completed and what separates transformative travel from experiential travel．Go greenOne way to plan a green trip is to travel a shorter distance， which can reduce your carbon footprint （碳排放量）． "One trans﹣Atlantic flight equals a year's worth of driving， so taking a trip in this way can help protect the environment，" suggested Warren， according to US News．Another way to go green in your travel plans is to choose a place that will be helped most from your trip． For example， places like Nepal will enjoy an increase in its local economy （经济） through the trip．Disappearing sightsSome sights at risk of disappearing are also welcoming an increasing number of tourists．Everett Potter， a USA Today writer， says that the Arctic and Antarctic have attracted （吸引） more and more tourists since they are being greatly influenced by climate （气候）change．Another top sight is the Great Barrier Reef in Australia． It's believed that the reef will be seriously harmed in just a few years because of pollution and global warming． Travelers look forward to seeing the coral （珊瑚） "before it's gone or completely changed"， Potter told US News．五. 根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词，并将答案填写在答题卡标号为66-75的相应位置上．33.
