Dear Mr. Brown,
I’m writing to invite you to take part in an activity organized by the English Corner next Friday in the playground.
With the theme of “Plants around campus”, we will invite some students to explore the campus together and find out what different types of plants grow there. And then we will share our ideas about how to make the campus greener. We want you to join us and share your opinions on this issue.
I would really appreciate it if you could accept the invitation and I am looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节
One possible version:
Although I’m sure Maria didn’t understand my words, I could tell she understood my smile. When we were done playing the game, Maria pointed at the paints on my desk. She said something in Spanish, but I knew what she meant. I pointed at each color and told her the English words for them. After that, we took turns pointing at things in my room and saying the word for each thing, and I learned the Spanish words for those things. Maria made a face when I held up my math book. I laughed.
As we were both laughing, I realized that although we spoke different languages, I’d actually made a friend. That night, I thanked Dad for inviting Maria to our house. “We had fun and I learned a little bit of Spanish,” I said. I asked Dad to help me work on my Spanish so I could talk with Maria when she came over next time. While I still missed my friends in Indiana, I knew the next eight months were going to be a lot more fun with Maria around.绝密★启用前

On 26 December, 2004, a 9.0 magnitude earthquake off the Indonesian coast sent a wall of water racing toward Thailand, Malaysia and Sri Lanka. Lang was on the island of Ko Phi Phi, just south of Phuket, Thailand, shopping on Main Street with her friend Rubina Wong, when suddenly everything changed. “People started running inland. From where we were, we could not see the beach so we had no idea what was going on. Nobody was saying it’s a tsunami (海啸),” she said.
Lang and Rubina started running inland in the same direction as everyone else, when she noticed water racing into the island, but so strong and fast that she could no longer lift her feet to run. Rubina had gone down a side street. Lang never saw her alive again. “At that point I could no longer move and the next thing, I saw a black wall of water. Then it just threw me right off my feet. I didn’t have any feeling except for fear,” she said.
Lang was stuck underwater between debris ( 碎片) with the surface just above her face. “The more I struggled, the tighter I was stuck. I could not reach the surface. I thought I came here on my vacation to die, and then I got really angry,” she said. “I must have blacked out because the next thing I remember is waking up underwater.”
The water was motionless ( 静止的) and black. Lang looked up and could see at the top, there was a small circle of light. She started swimming through the motionless water and made it to the surface of the water. She pulled herself onto a floating ( 漂浮的) door and could see that the whole island was flooded (淹没) and a lot of buildings were gone. She could see a house not far away and a man on its roof. She encouraged herself to climb over floating objects to the balcony of the house. From there she saw the water start to slowly go back to the ocean.
4. What was Lang doing when the tsunami happened
A. She was running in a race. B. She was playing on the beach.
C. She was looking for her friend. D. She was shopping in the street.
5. Why was Lang unable to run
A. There was a wall in the way. B. She feared she would get lost.
C. She had to wait for her friend. D. The racing water was too powerful.
6. What can we learn about Lang from paragraph 3
A. She didn’t want to struggle. B. She was stuck underwater.
C. She didn’t regret going on vacation. D. She managed to keep awake in the water.

Vanessa Burchill, a 12-year-old Dartmouth, N. S. girl, is growing and giving away hundreds of milkweed seedlings ( 马利筋草苗) so endangered monarch butterflies have somewhere safe to land. Her plan to save the monarch butterflies began about three years ago when her aunt showed her a chrysalis (茧) from her garden. She watched in wonder as a butterfly appeared and made its wings dry.
She’s now given out about 1,000 milkweed seedlings to people in Halifax through her Downtown Dartmouth Monarch Project. Her first group of milkweed this spring went in a matter of hours.
Monarch butterflies can’t survive without milkweed because it’s the only plant where they can lay their eggs. Burchill grows swamp milkweed. It is far less unruly ( 难以控制的) than common milkweed, its cousin. Common milkweed is considered a harmful weed in N.S. It is often killed by people with chemicals.
This year, Burchill’s growing season began in February with seeds from the Mersey Tobeatic Research Institute.
Anyone can message her on Facebook to pick up a pot ( 盆) of milkweed for free. Each pot has four small plants that people are encouraged to put in a sunny place in their gardens.
“When the monarchs finally appear from the chrysalis they need to be able to dry out their wings in the sun and when the plant doesn’t have full sun they can’t do that,” Burchill said.
Burchill has also started growing a butterfly garden in the park across the street from her house with the help of parents and neighbours. “We’re very proud of her and she’s quite focused,” said her dad Nick Burchill. “Hopefully, it will create a nice pathway for monarchs.”
Burchill has only seen a handful of monarchs visit her yard and she’s still waiting to see a caterpillar on the milkweed. But she knows what she did is paying off when she sees the endangered butterflies visiting gardens she helps grow.
8. What encouraged Burchill to save the monarch butterflies
A. Her monarch project. B. Her aunt’s suggestion.
C. Her research on the butterflies. D. Her experience in her aunt’s garden.
9. Why does Burchill plant swamp milkweed
A. It is becoming endangered. B. It widely grows in her hometown.
C. It is much safer than common milkweed. D. It is recognised by the N.S. government.
10. What is the attitude of Burchill’s father towards her action
A. Uninterested. B. Supportive. C. Doubtful. D. Worried.
11. Which of the following can best describe Burchill
A. Kind and helpful. B. Brave and honest.
C. Strict and creative. D. Careful and easygoing.
D
Movies and TV shows see dolphins as helpful, playful creatures. “The world loves a good dolphin story,” Blake Morton, a scientist who studies animal behavior, told TIME. “And I think one reason for that is we see a lot of ourselves reflected in their behavior.”
Morton used scientific methods to test this. The result of this work is a new report showing that humans and dolphins share certain personality traits (个性特点).
The study included 134 bottlenose dolphins in eight countries. Each dolphin was observed and rated by several people, using a “dolphin personality questionnaire (调查表).” The questionnaire had more than 40 items. It included adjectives such as “playful” and “intelligent”. Scientists gave every dolphin a score from 1 to 5 for each item, based on how well it described the animal’s behavior. From these ratings, Morton and his team were able to find personality traits that are common in dolphins.
The results show that dolphins and humans have some similar personality traits. Most obviously, the two species ( 物种) share traits related to curiosity and sociability.
Morton’s dolphin study and others like it help us learn about other species. But they also help us learn about ourselves. “My kind of work comes from the spirit of trying to understand what made humans the way we are,” Morton says. “One way we can do that is to compare our behavior to other species.”
Scientists around the world are researching different animal species. Their research raises important questions that future scientists will work to answer. “It’s all a big puzzle ( 迷宫),” Morton says. “It takes thousands of careful papers being printed before you start to see the puzzle coming together.” He compares scientific research to pointillism. That’s a painting style in which an artist makes a picture using lots of tiny dots ( 点). “If you take a step back and look at all those little single points of work,” Morton says, “you’ll see a big picture come into view.”
12. What did Morton’s dolphin study find
A. Dolphins are more popular in TV shows than other animals.
B. Dolphins have personality traits very similar to humans.
C. Dolphins are helpful and playful creatures.
D. Dolphins are more curious than humans.
13. What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A. The importance of studying dolphin behavior.
B. Why Morton’s team created the questionnaire.
C. How Morton’s team carried out the study.
D. The methods of observing dolphins.
14. What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 5 refer to
A. Finding the similarities between dolphins and humans.
B. Having a deeper understanding of humans.
C. Protecting dolphins more scientifically.
D. Learning about other animals.
15. What does Morton intend to tell us in the last paragraph
A. Progress in science is made little by little.
B. Scientific research should be taken seriously.
C. Art plays an important role in scientific research.
D. Scientists around the world should work together.
第二节 (共5小题，每小题3分，满分15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。
It has been a controversial (有争议的) issue whether it is right to keep wild animals in zoos or not. Some argue that it is unethical (不道德的) to put animals on display at zoos. 16
On the one hand, zoos have a considerable impact on animal protection. 17 Zoos especially help to protect endangered animals from the problems they may face in the wild. Besides, scientists have a chance to study animal behavior in zoos. 18 There would be a rise in the unemployment (失业) rate if zoos were closed. Zoos are also great educational places for people, particularly children, to experience and learn about the natural world.
On the other hand, zoos are considered unethical. 19 Firstly, making an animal live in a zoo means it loses its freedom and the right to live in the place it is supposed to live — nature. 20 Therefore wild animals brought to such kinds of artificial (人造的) environments lose their instinct to hunt (捕猎的本能). They have to depend on the zookeepers for food. Secondly, humans do not have the right to put animals on display because they also have feelings.
A. Zoos are man-made environments.
B. Zoos provide a safe environment for animals.
C. Many zoos work with local universities and colleges.
D. What’s more, zoos create job opportunities for the locals.
E. But others believe that zoos are important in various ways.
F. Zoo animals can have health issues that wouldn’t come up in the wild.
G. There are two main reasons why it is wrong to put wild animals in zoos.

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。
“Why did Dad’s job make us move to South America anyway ” I asked Mom. “The TV shows are in Spanish and I miss going to school. The worst part is that I don’t have any friends here. All of the kids speak Spanish.”
“I know it’s hard, sweetheart. I’m lonely here too,” Mom said.
“It’s hard to make friends when I can’t talk to anybody.”
Mom hugged (拥抱) me. “We’ll only be living here for eight more months.”
At that moment, eight months sounded like forever. A few days later, Dad said that a man at his work had a daughter my age. “Would you like to invite her over to play ”
“Does she speak English ”
“No,” Dad said, “but I can teach you a few Spanish words so the two of you can talk a little bit.”
I shrugged (耸肩). “It’s hard to be friends with someone when you can’t really talk to them.”
Dad nodded. “I understand, but you wished for a friend.”
“I mean a friend who speaks English.”
“I know, but this might be fun anyway. I’m going to ask her dad to bring her over to our house.”
The following afternoon, Maria and her dad came over. I felt funny because I didn’t know how we’d play together without being able to talk to one another.
“Hola,” I said quietly, which means “hi” in Spanish.
Maria smiled and said something I didn’t understand. I looked at Dad and whispered (低声说), “This isn’t going to work.”
“Give it a chance,” he said.
Then Maria showed me a cardboard box. She’d brought a game called Connect Four.
Dad smiled. “You don’t need to speak the same language to play that game.”
Maria and I went to my bedroom and set up the game. We took turns putting the colored disks (圆片) into the board, trying to get four in a row. Suddenly Maria smiled and pointed at the four red pieces in a row.
I smiled and said, “You won. Good game.”
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Although I’m sure Maria didn’t understand my words, I could tell she understood my mile.

As we were both laughing, I realized that although we spoke different languages, I’d actually made a friend.
