Warrumbungle National Park
Travel six hours northwest of Sydney, and you’ve reached the astronomy capital of Australia. Warrumbungle National Park is a nature and star-lover’s dream. This land is home to the Southern Hemisphere’s first Dark Sky Park, which means you’ll be treated to nights of no light pollution and out of this world stargazing. Besides, the Warrumbungles has several adventurous hikes. The Breadknife and Grand High Tops walk is considered one of the best in Australia!
Ku-Ring-Gai Chase National Park
Ku-Ring-Gai Chase is the second oldest national park in Australia. We love this park for its proximity (邻近) to Sydney (a quick 45-minute drive from the city), significant Aboriginal (澳大利亚土著的) sites and breathtaking scenic views. There are many walks you can do here. You can also go kayaking (皮划艇), stopping at some of the secluded beaches that line the park.
Bouddi National Park
Located on the Central Coast, Bouddi National Park is one for beautiful landscapes and beaches. Just 90 minutes from Sydney, Bouddi is a hidden treasure. The beautiful water makes this park an ideal destination during summer, but it also provides a fantastic point for whale watching over the winter. You can experience Bouddi National Park on a day trip. Pack your picnic goods and head on the 8.5 km (one-way) Bouddi Coastal Walk — it’ll give you a perfect taste of the best of what the park has to offer!
Dorrigo National Park
As a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Dorrigo National Park is one to explore! Located just shy of four hours from Byron Bay, the park is part of the Gondwana Rainforests and has been made over millions of years. You’d be right then to expect some of the most stunning waterfalls here. For one of the best experiences, head to the Skywalk lookout. This elevated walkway will take you right into the heart of the rainforest, providing soaring views 21 meters over the rainforest all the way to the coast.

A nine-year-old Indian girl Meaidaibahun Majaw said she came up with a way to solve the problem after it started to trouble her. “I experienced bullying (欺凌) in school since I was young. It affected me. I hated it so much that I was always thinking about how to deal with it. No other child should have to go through the same,” Majaw said.
The app, which would soon be available on Google Play, allows victims to report their bullies to teachers, parents, and friends secretly. “Users can provide details of the incidents, including the name of the bully, and send the messages to people concerned. This allows the authorities to take necessary actions.” Majaw explained.
Majaw was praised by state education minister Lakmen Rymbui. “I wish Majaw the best in her efforts to fight social ills. She will be a responsible citizen. I congratulate her parents, too, for guiding her,” Rymbui added. A 2017 survey found that 42 percent of kids in India were bullied in schools.
Dasumarlin Majaw, her mother, said that the girl had attended an app- development course in September last year, and learned the skills within a few months. “She would attend classes for an hour every day. Before we knew, she had come up with 40 apps,” Dasumarlin said. Majaw was hopeful that she would be among the young coding (编码) experts from India to have earned a scholarship for travelling to the Silicon Valley.
4. What does the underlined words “the problem” refer to
A. How to get along with others.
B Majaw’s bad performance in school.
C. Other students’ bullying.
D. Majaw’s addition to the Internet.
5. What can users do through the app
A. Having lessons. B. Posting pictures.
C. Making friends. D. Reporting bullies
6. What can we know from Rymbui’s words
A. He didn’t think highly of Majaw’s parents.
B. Majaw was a responsible girl.
C. Majaw did the best in fighting bullying.
D. Majaw set an good example to others.
7. What would happen
A. Majaw would attend more courses.
B. Majaw would create 40 apps.
C. Majaw’s parents would get awarded.
D. Majaw would visit the Silicon Valley.
C
Over the last seven years, most states have banned texting by drivers, and public service campaigns have tried a wide range of methods to persuade people to put down their phones when they are behind the wheel.
Yet the problem, by just about any measure, appears to be getting worse. Americans are still texting while driving, as well as using social networks and taking photos. Road accidents, which had fallen for years, are now rising sharply.
That is partly because people are driving more, but Mark Rosekind, the chief of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, said distracted（分心）driving was "only increasing, unfortunately."
"Big change requires big ideas." he said in a speech last month, referring broadly to the need to improve road safety. So to try to change a distinctly modern behavior, lawmakers and public health experts are reaching back to an old approach: They want to treat distracted driving like drunk driving.
An idea from lawmakers in New York is to give police officers a new device called the Textalyzer. It would work like this: An officer arriving at the scene of a crash could ask for the phones of the drivers and use the Textalyzer to check in the operating system for recent activity. The technology could determine whether a driver had just texted, emailed or done anything else that is not allowed under New York's hands-free driving laws.
"We need something on the books that can change people's behavior,” said Félix W. Ortiz, who pushed for the state's 2001 ban on hand-held devices by drivers. If the Textalyzer bill becomes law, he said, "people are going to be more afraid to put their hands on the cell phone."
8. Which of the following best describes the ban on drivers' texting in the US
A. Ineffective. B. Unnecessary.
C. Inconsistent. D. Unfair.
9. What can the Textalyzer help a police officer find out
A. Where a driver came from. B. Whether a driver used their phone.
C. How fast a driver was going. D. When a driver arrived at the scene.
10. What does the underlined word "something" in the last paragraph refer to
A. Advice. B. Data. C. Tests. D. Laws.
11. What is a suitable title for the text
A. To Drive or Not to Drive Think Before You Start
B. Texting and Driving Watch Out for the Textalyzer
C. New York Banning Hand-Held Devices by Drivers.
D. The Next Generation Cell Phone: The Textalyzer-
D
Japan is a nation that appreciates the virtues of silence and good manners. Yet, when it comes to eating noodles, Japanese people can be the loudest in the world.
According to lifestyle website Grapee.jp, slurping (发出啧啧声) when eating noodles is encouraged in Japanese culture. It's believed that taking air into your mouth can enhance (提高) the flavor of the noodles and help cool down the food. It's also considered to be a way to show appreciation for the dish. Sometimes, just making the noise alone seems to make the noodles more enjoyable.
It was not until a new expression — “noodle harassment” —came out on social media that Japanese people started to realize the problem. They found that the slurping noise was making some foreign visitors uncomfortable.
As a response, Japanese instant noodle maker Nissin introduced a so-called noise-canceling (降噪的) fork last month. The fork looks like an electric toothbrush. It is connected wirelessly to a smartphone. When the person using the fork starts to slurp, the fork will send a signal to the person's phone. Then the phone will play a sound to mask the slurping noise.
But is it really necessary Dining traditions and table manners do vary. In India, people eat with their hands. They think they build a connection with the food in this way. However, people who are used to eating with forks might find it unacceptable to get their hands covered in oil or sauce. But this eating method is part of India's culture, just like Japan's slurping is part of its own.
“So, if you are eating noodles, please slurp as you like," wrote a Japanese food blogger.“If anyone gets annoyed while you are doing that, ignore them. They're missing the point entirely."
12. Which of the following is NOT the reason for slurping when eating noodles, according to the text
A. Cooling the noodles down. B. Making the noodles more tasty.
C. Showing great respect for the noodles. D. Adding to the pleasure of eating noodles.
13. What does the underlined word "harassment" mean in paragraph 3 mean
A. Anxiety. B. Annoyance.
C. Politeness. D. Appreciation
14. How does the noise-canceling fork work
A. The fork removes the slurping noise.
B. The fork can be used as an electric toothbrush.
C A smartphone reminds the user to stop slurping if a signal is sent to it.
D A smartphone plays a sound to hide the noise when it receives a signal.
15. Why does the author mention people in India in this passage
A. To show that forks are unnecessary in Indian culture.
B. To give an example to show cultural difference are normal.
C. To show India has special dinning tradition and table manners.
D. To tell us the differences in eating habits between India and Japan.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。
One cold winter's day, three boys were wandering the street. The oldest was Henry, who always was in trouble himself, and tried to get others into trouble. Another boy, James, was also a naughty one. Both of the two often got scoldings from their fathers for making trouble. The youngest, whose name was George, was a very good boy. He wished to do right, but was very much wanting in courage.
As they were passing by a schoolhouse, Henry suddenly came up with an idea. “How fun it would be to throw a snowball at the schoolroom door and make the teacher and the students all jump!” he said excitedly.
“Ha! You would jump, if you should do that. If the teacher did not catch you and punish you, he would tell your father, and you would get a scolding then. 'That would make you jump higher than the students, I think. “James replied.
“Why, we would get off already before the teacher could come to the door so that he could not tell who we are.” Henry said as his eyes fell on George, who was looking at them in silence. Henry smiled cunningly(狡猾的) and continued, " Here is a snowball just as hard as ice, and George would throw it at the door as fast as he could.”
“Give it to him and see. I guess he would not dare to throw it.” James said. “James, do you think George is a coward(胆小鬼) You do not know him as well as I do!” Henry said with eyebrows uplifted, staring at George provocatively(挑衅地). Then he held the snowball and lifted it up. “George, take the snowball, and show James that you are not such a coward as he thinks you are.” After saying this, he passed the snowball to George.
Para 1:
Looking at the snowball in his hand, George hesitated.

A nine-year-old Indian girl Meaidaibahun Majaw said she came up with a way to solve the problem after it started to trouble her. “I experienced bullying (欺凌) in school since I was young. It affected me. I hated it so much that I was always thinking about how to deal with it. No other child should have to go through the same,” Majaw said.
The app, which would soon be available on Google Play, allows victims to report their bullies to teachers, parents, and friends secretly. “Users can provide details of the incidents, including the name of the bully, and send the messages to people concerned. This allows the authorities to take necessary actions.” Majaw explained.
Majaw was praised by state education minister Lakmen Rymbui. “I wish Majaw the best in her efforts to fight social ills. She will be a responsible citizen. I congratulate her parents, too, for guiding her,” Rymbui added. A 2017 survey found that 42 percent of kids in India were bullied in schools.
Dasumarlin Majaw, her mother, said that the girl had attended an app- development course in September last year, and learned the skills within a few months. “She would attend classes for an hour every day. Before we knew, she had come up with 40 apps,” Dasumarlin said. Majaw was hopeful that she would be among the young coding (编码) experts from India to have earned a scholarship for travelling to the Silicon Valley.

Over the last seven years, most states have banned texting by drivers, and public service campaigns have tried a wide range of methods to persuade people to put down their phones when they are behind the wheel.
Yet the problem, by just about any measure, appears to be getting worse. Americans are still texting while driving, as well as using social networks and taking photos. Road accidents, which had fallen for years, are now rising sharply.
That is partly because people are driving more, but Mark Rosekind, the chief of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, said distracted（分心）driving was "only increasing, unfortunately."
"Big change requires big ideas." he said in a speech last month, referring broadly to the need to improve road safety. So to try to change a distinctly modern behavior, lawmakers and public health experts are reaching back to an old approach: They want to treat distracted driving like drunk driving.
An idea from lawmakers in New York is to give police officers a new device called the Textalyzer. It would work like this: An officer arriving at the scene of a crash could ask for the phones of the drivers and use the Textalyzer to check in the operating system for recent activity. The technology could determine whether a driver had just texted, emailed or done anything else that is not allowed under New York's hands-free driving laws.
"We need something on the books that can change people's behavior,” said Félix W. Ortiz, who pushed for the state's 2001 ban on hand-held devices by drivers. If the Textalyzer bill becomes law, he said, "people are going to be more afraid to put their hands on the cell phone."
8. Which of the following best describes the ban on drivers' texting in the US
A. Ineffective. B. Unnecessary.
C. Inconsistent. D. Unfair.
9. What can the Textalyzer help a police officer find out
A. Where a driver came from. B. Whether a driver used their phone.
C. How fast a driver was going. D. When a driver arrived at the scene.
10. What does the underlined word "something" in the last paragraph refer to
A. Advice. B. Data. C. Tests. D. Laws.
11. What is a suitable title for the text
A. To Drive or Not to Drive Think Before You Start
B. Texting and Driving Watch Out for the Textalyzer
C. New York Banning Hand-Held Devices by Drivers.
D. The Next Generation Cell Phone: The Textalyzer-
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. D 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文一篇说明文。为解决司机在开车时使用手机造成“分神”，引发交通事故的问题，纽约的一名立法者提出使用Textalyzer（短信监控器）的技术来监控司机在开车的时候是否使用了手机。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“Over the last seven years, most states have banned texting by drivers, and public service campaigns have tried a wide range of methods to persuade people to put down their phones when they are behind the wheel.”（在过去的七年里，大多数州都禁止司机发短信，公共服务活动也尝试了各种各样的方法来说服人们在开车时放下手机。）以及第二段中“Yet the problem, by just about any measure, appears to be getting worse.”（然而，无论以何种标准衡量，这个问题似乎都在恶化。）可知，大多数州使用了各种各样的方法说服司机们在开车的时候放下手机，可是情况却越来越糟糕。所以各种方法是无效的。A选项ineffective意为“无效的”，与此相符。故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“The technology could determine whether a driver had just texted, emailed or done anything else that is not allowed under New York's hands-free driving laws.”（这项技术可以确定司机是否发了短信、发了邮件，或者做了纽约免提驾驶法不允许的其他事情。）可知，Textalyzer能够确定的是司机是否使用了手机发短信、邮件以及其他驾驶法不允许的行为。B 选项意为“是否司机使用了手机。”与此相符，故选B。
【10题详解】
词义猜测题。根据句中的“We need something on the books that can change people's behavior.”（我们需要一些能改变人们行为的东西，）可知，something是能够改变人们的行为的事情。根据下文的“If the Textalyzer bill becomes law, he said, "people are going to be more afraid to put their hands on the cell phone.”（他说，如果Textalyzer法案成为法律，“人们会更害怕拿起手机。）可知，人们的行为会改变的条件是当Textalyzer法案成为法律。受到法律的约束和惩罚，司机们才不会在开车的时候使用手机。故something指代的是法律。故选D。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。纵观全文，第一段和第二段阐述的是“虽然大多数州已经尝试了各种各样的方法来说服人们在开车时放下手机。可是问题却越来越严重”。第三段中“That is partly because people are driving more.”（部分原因是开车的人越来越多）可知，解释了该行为产生的部分原因。第四段至第五段讲述的是为了解决该问题是纽约立法者提出了一个新的想法即利用Textalyzer技术，来监控司机在开车的时候是否使用了手机。最后一段讲述的是：相关人士呼吁该项技术能够成为真正的法案由此才能真正地改变人们的行为。故B选项Texting and Driving Watch Out for the Textalyzer（发短信还是在开车？防范短信监控器。）适合文章的标题。故选B。
D
Japan is a nation that appreciates the virtues of silence and good manners. Yet, when it comes to eating noodles, Japanese people can be the loudest in the world.
According to lifestyle website Grapee.jp, slurping (发出啧啧声) when eating noodles is encouraged in Japanese culture. It's believed that taking air into your mouth can enhance (提高) the flavor of the noodles and help cool down the food. It's also considered to be a way to show appreciation for the dish. Sometimes, just making the noise alone seems to make the noodles more enjoyable.
It was not until a new expression — “noodle harassment” —came out on social media that Japanese people started to realize the problem. They found that the slurping noise was making some foreign visitors uncomfortable.
As a response, Japanese instant noodle maker Nissin introduced a so-called noise-canceling (降噪的) fork last month. The fork looks like an electric toothbrush. It is connected wirelessly to a smartphone. When the person using the fork starts to slurp, the fork will send a signal to the person's phone. Then the phone will play a sound to mask the slurping noise.
But is it really necessary Dining traditions and table manners do vary. In India, people eat with their hands. They think they build a connection with the food in this way. However, people who are used to eating with forks might find it unacceptable to get their hands covered in oil or sauce. But this eating method is part of India's culture, just like Japan's slurping is part of its own.
“So, if you are eating noodles, please slurp as you like," wrote a Japanese food blogger.“If anyone gets annoyed while you are doing that, ignore them. They're missing the point entirely."
12. Which of the following is NOT the reason for slurping when eating noodles, according to the text
A. Cooling the noodles down. B. Making the noodles more tasty.
C. Showing great respect for the noodles. D. Adding to the pleasure of eating noodles.
13. What does the underlined word "harassment" mean in paragraph 3 mean
A. Anxiety. B. Annoyance.
C. Politeness. D. Appreciation
14. How does the noise-canceling fork work
A. The fork removes the slurping noise.
B. The fork can be used as an electric toothbrush.
C. A smartphone reminds the user to stop slurping if a signal is sent to it.
D. A smartphone plays a sound to hide the noise when it receives a signal.
15. Why does the author mention people in India in this passage
A. To show that forks are unnecessary in Indian culture.
B. To give an example to show cultural difference are normal.
C To show India has special dinning tradition and table manners.
D. To tell us the differences in eating habits between India and Japan.
【答案】12 C 13. B 14. D 15. B
【解析】
【分析】本文为一篇说明文，介绍了日本啜食文化产生的影响，也说明了文化差异是一种正常现象。
【详解】1.细节理解题。根据文章第二段关键句“It's believed that taking air into your mouth can enhance the flavor of the noodles and help cool down the food. It's also considered to be a way to show appreciation for the dish. Sometimes, just making the noise alone seems to make the noodles more enjoyable.”（人们相信，将空气送入口中可以增强面条的味道，并有助于冷却食物。 这也被认为是一种对这道菜表示欣赏的方式。 有时候，仅仅是发出声响似乎就能让面条更美味）可知，吃面条发出声音可以冷却面条，可以使面条更美味，还可以表示对面条的欣赏和喜欢，但不能表达敬意。故选C项。
2.词义猜测题。根据文章第三段关键句中“Japanese people started to realize the problem”（日本人开始意识到这个问题）及“They found that the slurping noise was making some foreign visitors uncomfortable. ”（他们发现这种声音让一些外国游客感到不舒服）可知，“noodle harassment”表示日本人吃面条的方式给外国人造成了烦恼。harassment与annoyance词义相近。故选B项。
3.细节理解题。根据文章倒数第三段关键句“When the person using the fork starts to slurp, the fork will send a signal to the person's phone. Then the phone will play a sound to mask the slurping noise.”（当使用叉子的人开始发出声音时，叉子会向这个人的手机发送一个信号。 然后，手机会播放一种声音来掩盖咀嚼的声音）可知，噪音消除叉通过传送信号到对应用餐人的手机里，手机播放声音来掩盖噪音起效果。故选D项。
4.推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段关键句“But is it really necessary Dining traditions and table manners do vary. In India, people eat with their hands.”（但这真的有必要吗 用餐传统和餐桌礼仪各不相同。 在印度，人们用手吃东西）及“But this eating method is part of India's culture, just like Japan's slurping is part of its own.”（但这种饮食方式是印度文化的一部分，就像日本的啜食是其文化的一部分一样）可以推测，作者提及印度人用餐方式是为了举例说明文化差异是正常的。故选B项。

【20题详解】
根据小标题“Get insight from professionals.(从专业人士那里获得见解)”可知，该段强调在选择专业时可以咨询专业人士，选项G“Meanwhile, you could also turn to some training schools for overseas studies.(同时，你也可以求助于一些海外学习培训学校)”符合语境，其中提及的“some training schools for overseas studies”为专业人士，“meanwhile”与前文构成并列递进关系。故选G项。

【答案】Dear fellow students,
Last week I did a research on students’ reading classics. 70% students never or seldom read classics, and only 16% students read regularly. Obviously, the majority of students ignore the significance of reading classics.
In fact, reading classics is rewarding. Classic works, which are time-tested and profound, can enlighten our mind, helping us develop a proper attitude towards life. Reading classics can also enrich our knowledge and broaden our horizon. Therefore, I call on every student to read more classics regularly. Only in this way, can we have a better understanding of the world, and inherit the culture as well.
Yours,
Li Hua

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。
One cold winter's day, three boys were wandering the street. The oldest was Henry, who always was in trouble himself, and tried to get others into trouble. Another boy, James, was also a naughty one. Both of the two often got scoldings from their fathers for making trouble. The youngest, whose name was George, was a very good boy. He wished to do right, but was very much wanting in courage.
As they were passing by a schoolhouse, Henry suddenly came up with an idea. “How fun it would be to throw a snowball at the schoolroom door and make the teacher and the students all jump!” he said excitedly.
“Ha! You would jump, if you should do that. If the teacher did not catch you and punish you, he would tell your father, and you would get a scolding then. 'That would make you jump higher than the students, I think. “James replied.
“Why, we would get off already before the teacher could come to the door so that he could not tell who we are.” Henry said as his eyes fell on George, who was looking at them in silence. Henry smiled cunningly(狡猾的) and continued, " Here is a snowball just as hard as ice, and George would throw it at the door as fast as he could.”
“Give it to him and see. I guess he would not dare to throw it.” James said. “James, do you think George is a coward(胆小鬼) You do not know him as well as I do!” Henry said with eyebrows uplifted, staring at George provocatively(挑衅地). Then he held the snowball and lifted it up. “George, take the snowball, and show James that you are not such a coward as he thinks you are.” After saying this, he passed the snowball to George.
Para 1:
Looking at the snowball in his hand, George hesitated.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Para 2:
The two looked at George, astonished.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Para 1:
Looking at the snowball in his hand, George hesitated. There were two Georges battling against each other within. One urged him to throw the snowball; otherwise he would be called to a coward and laughed at. The other was trying to prevent him and tell him such behavior was truly ridiculous and totally wrong. When the other two boys stared at him inquiringly and encouragingly, George squared his shoulders and exclaimed firmly, “I quit!”
Para 2:
The two looked at George, astonished. This was out of their expectation. “There! I told you he dare not throw it!” James said to Henry. George could hear the obvious disappointment in his voice. Gathering all his courage, George said, “I will never be so foolish to throw that snowball and no one can have me do what I think is wrong!” This would be the real courage. Henry and James realized, at once, that it would do no good to laugh at a boy who had so bold a heart and so fearless a spirit.
【解析】
【分析】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了两个调皮的男孩James和Henry怂恿一个很想证明自己不是胆小鬼的孩子George朝教室的门扔雪球。George最后用拒绝来证明自己是一个有勇气的孩子。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“看着自己手里的雪球，George犹豫了”可知，第一段可描写George内心的纠结，不扔会被嘲笑，大家会觉得他是一个胆小鬼，扔的话可能会受到老师和爸爸的责备。
②由第二段首句内容“这两个男孩子吃惊地看着George”可知，第二段可描写George很可能做了让人意外的选择，所以才会让James和Henry感到出乎意料。
2.续写线索：George犹豫——George内心挣扎——George放弃扔雪球——两个男孩吃惊——George表明自己的勇气——James和Henry感到出乎意料
3.词汇激活

尝试：try to/ attempt to
凝视：stare at/ gaze
