SHARK CONSERVATION IN SOUTH AFRICA
Take a two-week trip that you will never forget as a volunteer with sharks on a beautiful stretch of South Africa's coastline. Head out to sea to witness one of the world's most powerful （and most misunderstood） creatures on this inspiring project, enjoying watching them from both above and below water.
The DAY-BY-DAY schedule
Day 1: Arrive in Cape Town on a Sunday. You will be collected from the airport and spend your first night in a guest house in the city centre.
Day 2: You will be collected bright and early from the guest house and taken down to the project. The drive takes about 90 minutes. You will receive a welcome and head out to sea to witness your first sharks!
Day 3: Most days you will be out on the boat with the sharks, depending on weather. Help out with the full range of tasks on the boats, and in conservation initiatives on land too.
Last day: On the final day of your project you will be taken back to Cape Town for your onward travel.
The price is 829, including the voluntary work programme with accommodations, airport transfers, one night in a guest house in Cape Town, breakfasts daily and lunches when on the boats. Your trip can be extended at a cost of 375 per week.
It is an amazing experience! Some volunteers planned to stay for 4 weeks, extended to 6 weeks and still didn't want to come home. If you'd like to chat about this holiday or need help, we' re very happy to help.

I've been really lucky this year. Not only did I have the opportunity to live in France, but I was able to see some other countries with my girlfriend. Now she is studying in Essen, a large city in Western Germany. I recently went to stay with her—it was my first visit to Germany! Essen is a very large city. It has all the conveniences of any large city so I felt immediately at home. I loved the variety of shops, restaurants, shopping malls, cocktail bars, nightclubs, parks and even a lake. There is also a city-wide network of trams, which makes getting around a piece of cake!
I found the people really friendly, and most Germans speak very good English, which made life easy for me. I was surprised by the casual attitude to alcohol in Germany, where it seems normal for people to drink beer on the street, or on the tram. My girlfriend and I visited two famous local cities, Düsseldorf and Cologne, which are both on the Rhine River. Düsseldorf is an urban metropolis with a great variety of restaurants. We took a boat tour on the river and went up the Rhine Tower, a really tall building which offers great views across the city. Cologne, as you might know, is world-famous for its perfumes. The cathedral there is an unmissable landmark. We made the effort to climb to the top of one of the cathedral's towers. The spiral（螺旋的） stairs seemed endless, but it was worthwhile for the impressive sights from the top.
We also went in a cable car over the river and tasted a German delicacy called “Spaghettieis” which is ice cream with strawberry sauce! I also got to try the famous German sausage. I must admit, I really enjoyed the food! The only disappointment is the grey and rainy weather, which proves that Britain does not have the worst weather in Europe!
4. Why did the writer feel lucky this year
A. He will have a chance to live in Germany.
B. He met his girlfriend in France by chance.
C. He got an opportunity of learning in Germany.
D. He was able to live in France and visit other countries.
5. What do Düsseldorf and Cologne have in common
A. They are both famous for unique perfumes.
B. They both serve traditional German sausage.
C. They both have many towers with a long history.
D. They both offer wonderful views from the tower top.
6. According to the writer, which country has the worst weather in Europe
A. Britain. B. Germany. C. France. D. Italy.
7. What can be the best title of the passage
A. An Unforgettable Trip in Europe B. A Guide to Germany
C. My First Visit to Germany D. A Brief Introduction of Germany

For Shi Qinling, a pair of scissors has been with her everywhere she goes for the past decade—not as a means of self-protection, but as an artistic expression. Scissors are to this paper-cutting artist what brushes are to painters, or what pens are to writers. Always taking a pair of scissors allows her to create art whenever inspiration hits. Most of her paper-cutting works are inspired by moments in daily life, such as a neighbor's dog, her own pets and scenes on the streets.
In 2010, she started learning paper-cutting from Xi Xiaoqin, the national inheritor（继承人） of the intangible cultural heritage（非物质文化遗产） of paper-cutting. Six years later, Shi was named as a Shanghai paper-cutting inheritor and became the city's “youngest inheritor” of the paper-cutting heritage.
Similar to local dialects, paper-cutting comes in different styles, depending on the region. In general, the paper-cutting artworks in the country's northern area are usually rough patterns used as decorations on windows, walls, roofs, lanterns and other household items. In southern China, paper-cutting is used as the base pattern for embroidery （刺绣） and requires more careful workmanship. Shanghai paper-cutting, on the other hand, is a combination of these two styles. Since the 1960s, Shanghai paper-cutting has been more frequently adopted in artworks and handicrafts.
Shi now works at the Fenglin community cultural center and she now plans to produce cultural and creative goods to attract more people to learn paper-cutting. “We are very proud to have this unique folk culture and art project, As we have the responsibility to protect and inherit this cultural heritage, we will make more efforts to attract people from different age groups and different fields to try paper-cutting,” said Liu Li, director of the Fenglin community development office.
8. Why does Shi Qinling take a pair of scissors with her everywhere
A. To protect herself.
B. To show her identity as an artist.
C. To create works whenever she has inspiration.
D. To share paper-cutting skills with ordinary people.
9. What feature do Shi Qinling's works have
A. They are in various styles.
B. They are mainly related to animals.
C. They are a hit among young people.
D. They are mostly inspired by details of daily life.
10. What can we learn about Shanghai paper-cutting
A. It is usually combined with embroidery.
B. It is usually used as decorations during festivals.
C. It is a mixture of China's northern and southern styles.
D. It requires greater skill than other paper-cutting forms.
11. What is Liu Li's attitude toward the paper-cutting project
A. She disapproves of it. B. She supports it.
C. She is tolerant of it. D. She doesn't care about it.
D
As Internet users become more dependent on the Internet to store（储存）information, are people remember less If you know your computer will save information, why store it in your own personal memory, your brain Experts are wondering if the Internet is changing what we remember and how.
In a recent study, Professor Betsy Sparrow conducted some experiments. She and her research team wanted to know how the Internet is changing memory. In the first experiment, they gave people 40 unimportant facts to type into a computer. The first group of people understood that the computer would save the information. The second group understood that the computer would not save it. Later, the second group remembered the information better. People in the first group knew they could find the information again, so they did not try to remember it.
In another experiment, the researchers gave people facts to remember, and told them where to find the information on the Internet. The information was in a specific computer folder（文件夹）. Surprisingly, people later remember the folder location better than the facts. When people use the Internet, they do not remember the information. Rather, they remember how to find it. This is called “trans-active memory（交互记忆）”
According to Sparrow, we are not becoming people with poor memories as a result of the Internet. Instead, computer users are developing stronger trans-active memories; that is, people are learning how to organize huge quantities of information so that they are able to access it at a later date. This doesn't mean we are becoming either more or less intelligent, but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing.
12. Why does the passage begin with two questions in the first paragraph
A. To introduce the main topic B. To explain how to store information
C. To show the author's attitude D. To describe how to use the Internet
13. What can we learn about the first experiment -
A. Sparrow's team typed the information into a computer.
B. The two groups remembered the information equally well.
C. The first group did not try to remember the information.
D. The second group did not understand the information.
14: What do people do in trans-active memory
A. They keep the information in mind B. They change the quantity of information
C. They organize information like a computer D. They remember how to find the information
15. What is the effect of the Internet according to Sparrow's research
A. We are using memory differently. B. We are becoming more intelligent.
C. We have poorer memories than before. D. We need a better way to access information.
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。
Thinking about the past week, did any of you forget where you put your phone Did you have a word stuck on the tip of your tongue You couldn't remember the name of the movie a friend recommended What is going on here Is your memory failing
It's not. 16 Despite memory's extraordinary, necessary and common presence in our lives, it is far from perfect. Our brains are not designed to remember people's names, to remember to do something later or to catalogue everything we experience. 17 Even in the smartest heads, memory is likely to be wrong. So what determines what we remember and what we forget
18 Your memory is not a video camera recording a constant stream of every sight and sound you're exposed to. You can only remember what you are concerned about. Accordingly, one major reason for forgetting what someone said or where you parked your car is lack of attention.
The other has something to do with stimulus（刺激物）. For example, the tip of the tongue is one of the most common experiences of memory failure. 19 Why does this happen The tip of the tongue can occur when there's only partial or weak activation（激活） of the nerve cells that connect to the word you' re looking for.
So when you walk into a room and suddenly don't know why you're there, you're not going crazy or getting Alzheimer's disease, and your memory isn't terrible. Go back to the room you were in before you landed in this one and imagine the clues that were there. 20
A. One necessary factor is attention.
B. It's doing exactly what it's supposed to do.
C. These imperfections are simply the factory settings.
D. Our brains tend to remember what is meaningful and forget what isn't.
E. You're trying to come up with a word, but you cannot find it in your memory.
F. It will instantly deliver what you were completely confused about a moment ago.
G. Memory is amazing and is essential for the functioning of almost everything we do.
