Faces of stone
Easter Island is just a dot(小点) in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Chile. 31 And
it is volcanic, which is probably why it has no trees. Each of the island’s three corners
has an extinct volcano (死火山).
Easter Island was relatively unknown until 1722, when Dutch Admiral Roggeveen
arrived with the first Europeans ever to set foot on the island. To their great surprise,
they were greeted by hundreds of extremely large stone statues lining the shores. 32
All were “figures of men with short square bodies and strangely oversized heads, many
balancing red stone hats on their heads.” They were very similar to one another. 33
Each face was taller than a human being, and many were as tall as a four-story building.
For an early society to have made these huge figures with only stone tools was an
amazing achievement in itself. 34 The discovery of a large stone quarry (采石场)
unlocked the secrets. It was obvious that this was the site where the statues had been
carved (雕刻) before being moved to their final resting places. Some statues appeared
to be complete, while others had hardly been started. When work on these statues
suddenly stopped, some were in the process of being moved. It was obvious that the
statue builders had cut down the island’s trees to make rolling logs (滚木) and wooden
scaffolds (支架). 35
A. The history of Easter Island is rich.
B. It is a relatively small island with a total area of only 63 square miles.
C. For centuries, scientists have tried to measure the weight of the statues.
D. Each had a large nose and long ears, but they were not exactly the same.
E. To the Europeans, the unusually large legless creatures appeared strange indeed.
F. Then they used these tools to carry the huge statues from the quarry(采石场) to the
island’s coast.
G. What was even more mysterious was how the people moved the creations, some of
which weighed many tons.

The life of George Washington was characterized by a high regard for punctuality(守时).

Once Washington asked a man to bring some 39 , he was interested in buying at five
in the morning. 40 , the man arrived fifteen minutes late. Washington’s groom(马夫)
told the man that the general had been 41 there at five, but had now moved on to other
business. Washington said that he wouldn’t be able to 42 the horses again until the followingweek. The man left with his horses, feeling a deep sense of 43 .
When he told Congress(国会议员)that he’d meet with them at noon, he could
almost always be found walking into the meeting room just as the clock was 44 twelve.
Washington’s punctuality extended to his 45 as well. He ate dinner each day at
46 four o’clock. When he 47 members of Congress to dine with him, and they
48 late, they were often 49 to find the president halfway done with his
meal
or even leaving the table. To his shocked, late 50 , he would say,“We are punctual
here. My cook never asks whether the guests have arrived, butwhether the hour has 51 .”
And when Washington’s secretary arrived late for a meeting, and blamed his 52 for his
lateness, Washington quietly replied, “Then you must get another watch, or I another _53 .”
Washington, one of the most respected presidents in American history, is a good example to
us all. Today, punctuality is still a(n) essential 54 of the character of a nice person. So next time when you are struggling with arriving 55 , think of these stories about the punctual president.

A man looking at his smartphone while walking across a railway 56 (have) a close knock on Oct 22. He was so 57 (absorb) in his smartphone that he did not see a train approaching until it brushed past him, 58 (throw) him to the ground. This should serve 59 a warning that people should be aware of their surroundings, especially 60 crossing roads.
61 (1ucky), the man survived, but the incident forced the driver 62 (stop) the train. An l8-minute delay followed the incident, 63 led to a break in the running of other trains on the route.
Smartphone addiction has spread like 64 infectious disease. It’s obvious that it will do great harm to society. What’s even 65 (bad), some addicts become impatient with relatives and friends. Some people blame the smartphone for the sad story, yet in fact people’s weakening self-control and self-discipline are to blame.

As a Senior Two student, my favorite sport is football. I was a member of our school football team. We practice for three times a week and often watch football match on TV or on the Internet together. Play football not only makes us grow tall and strong
but also give us a sense of fair play and team spirit. We must keep in minds that we play for the team instead for ourselves. Also, sports teach us the important of obeying the rules in a match. Each player must listen to the captain, which is the leader of the team. And they must not break the rules too often if we want to win the game.

A Letter to the President of the University
Dear Mr. President,
I am writing this letter to you to express my concern about the sports facilities in our school. I have noticed that our school has very limited resources and students feel bored because they cannot find a place to have sports and games after class.
As we both know, sports are very important for the sound growth of the young. If they have access to quality sports facilities, they can not only relax but also keep fit.
My proposal is to build a new sports area. It should be designed with soccer players, basketball players, and ping-pong players in mind. It should have a different section for each activity and be available to students all year round. I believe such facilities will meet our sporting needs.
Thank you for your reading this letter.
Yours faithfully,
Li Ming
