I have been dancing since I was 14 years old, when my best friend dragged me to an
after-school dance class. I enjoyed that dance class so much that I have been dancing ever since.
After every dance class, however, I always have to stretch out my legs and back to make myself relaxed! It feels like as much exercise as going to the gym— but dancing is not widely considered to
be a sport. Does that dancing is expressive and artistic mean that it is not a sport?
Some dancers would argue that dancing is a sport, as it requires great physical stamina, strong
muscles and impressive flexibility. No matter what style of dance you are participating in, you will
always be using all of your muscles while dancing and this can often be for several hours a day.
Additionally, in the more traditional dance style (like ballet), men often lift their female dance
partners high in the air. That means the dancers are often just as athletic as footballers, runners or
swimmers.
On the other hand, many people argue that dance is an art form. Dance often exhibit emotion,
represent characters and tell stories. Dancing to music is creative and visually appealing to the eyes
and ears, just like watching a play or a professional show. The shiny costumes, the stage make-up
and the big hairstyles are artistic and imaginative. It is easy to see why many people consider dance
to be an art form.
I personally believe that dance is both a sport and an art. I believe that a great dancer will be a
mixture of an athlete and an artist. You could have the strongest muscles in the world but not
necessarily be a great dancer. Likewise, you could be a great actress who can express emotions
easily but you still might not be able to dance. However, whether you consider dance to be an art or
a sport, the important thing is to enjoy it! Dancing is a great way to make new friends and it's a
really fun way to exercise!
25. Why does the author think having a dance class is like taking exercise?
A. Because she finds it also needs physical effort.
B. Because she takes interest in dancing as well as in sport.
C. Because she should do much exercise before dancing.
D. Because she finds dancing has hurt her legs and backs.
26. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “stamina” in paragraph 2?
A. activity B. shape C. condition D. strength
27. How is the text organized?
A. Main idea---Argument---Discussion.
B. Opinion---Discussion---Effect.
C. Topic---Comparison---Opinion.D. Introduction---Supporting Examples---Conclusion.
C
British people are famous for apologizing in almost every situation.Whether they are apologizin
g for asking a question, for their bad weather or because they sneezed, they are probably the
number-one nation for apologies.
Brits pride themselves on their polite manners towards one another in public. As a result, they
often use the word “sorry” quite a lot---even when they don't really mean it! Usually, if they want to
ask a stranger for the time, they would start by saying “Sorry to bother you. Do you know what time
it is?” If they are five minutes late for an appointment, they would generally greet the person by
saying “Sorry, I’m late!”
That they say sorry does not only mean they feel sad for someone else because of their
problems or misfortunes. Another main dictionary definition of “sorry” is feeling regret because they
have done something wrong. And now, think about this. Normally, when they want to ask a stranger
a question, they start with “Sorry to disturb you”. In this situation, they aren’t saying sorry because
they feel sad for that person or because they feel regret.
In the British culture, apologizing, in general, is a way to be polite, especially to people who
they don’t know very well. Furthermore, it also can bring them other benefits in their daily life. In a
recent experiment, an actor approached different strangers on a rainy day to ask if he could use their
mobile phones to make a call. When he approached one group of strangers and asked them without
apologizing first, he was only 9% successful in borrowing their phones. However, when he
apologized to another group of strangers about the bad weather before asking if he could use their
mobile phones, he was 47% successful.
28. Why do British people say “sorry” so much?
A.To respect others.
B. To show their politeness.
C. To express their regret.
D. To apologize for their mistakes.
29. What can we infer about the word “sorry” from the third paragraph?
A. It is used in more situations than before. B. It is embarrassing to use sorry improperly.
C. It has different meanings in different situations.
D. Its meaning is always hard to understand.
30. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
A. The secrets to dealing with strangers. B. The ways of borrowing a phone.
C. The benefits of saying “sorry”. D. The keys to being a polite man.
31. What’s the author’s attitude towards saying “sorry”?
A. Disapproval. B. Favorable. C. Doubtful. D. Indifferent.
D
Scientists have come up with a new way to measure ocean trash（垃圾） and the numbers
are even worse than thought. In 2010, eight million tons of plastic trash ended up in the ocean from
coastal countries far more than the trash floating on the surface of the ocean. That ' s bad news. The
even worse news is that the tonnage may increase by as much as ten times in the next decade unless
the world finds a better way to improve how trash is collected and managed.
The new study identifies the major sources of plastic trash and names the top 20 countries
producing the greatest amount of ocean trash. The United States is 20th. The rest of the list includes
l1 Asian countries, Turkey, five African countries, and Brazil.
The size of the difference is huge --- 20 to 2,000 times more than the amount of floating trash.
To make the figure eight million tons understandable, Jenna Jambeck, who led the study, compares it
to lining up five grocery bags of trash on every foot of coastline around the globe. "And by 2025,
those five grocery bags of plastic are going to be ten bags," she says. That would be 155 million tons
a year if present trash management practices remain the same."
Ocean plastic has turned up everywhere. It has been found in the deep sea and buried in
Arctic ice with terrible consequences for some 700 species of wildlife in the ocean.
The study has also created a new mystery. Because what flows into the ocean is so large,
scientists now have to figure out where else it collects and in what amounts. "But what we need to
do now is close the gap." says Richard Thompson, a scientist from the U.K.
32. What is the most serious problem concerning ocean trash?
A. There is no way to get rid of it,.B. Eight million tons of trash goes into the ocean.
C. A lot more trash may be put into the ocean in the future.
D. The way to measure ocean trash hasn 't been found.
33. Jenna Jambeck explains the seriousness of ocean trash mainly by ______.
A. showing the causes B. describing a process
C. making comparisons D. making a classification
34. The underlined part “the gap” in the last paragraph refers to the difference between ______.
A. what is harmless and what is dangerous
B. what is on the surface and what is in the deep sea
C. what is found and what can be recycled
D. what is from America and what is from other countries
35. Which of the following can best describe the author 's tone in writing the text?
A. Doubtful. B. Hopeless. C. Critical. D. Concerned.

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。其中有两项多余。
The ability to stay positive is one of the most important sills for us. Why is this? The reason is
that we will spend most of our lives setting and trying to achieve goals. Everyone has dreams.
Everyone wants to know deep down inside that they were put here to do something great.. 36
The second you set a goal, obstacles will begin to appear to stand in your way. Most people let these
challenges rob them from the life they really want.
If you want to achieve greatness, if you want to experience the best life possible, then be
prepared to get knocked down over and over. . 37 This explains why there are so many people
who have stopped trying to reach their dreams.
So how do you remain positive regardless of what type of challenge you are facing? It all
comes down to how you choose to respond to any situation as well as what you decide to focus on.
No matter how bad your situation is, you can always find something good in it. 38
If you keep focusing on how bad you have it, how are things supposed to get any better?. 39
Of course it is. If this is true, why even bother thinking positively? That is because if you do, you
have a chance to make things better. If you don't, things will usually get a lot worse.Realize that challenges are a part of life. 40 It's what makes reaching a goal worth it. If you
were able to get everything you wanted without even trying, the victory wouldn’t taste as sweet.
A. Everyone will have to go through them.
B. Staying positive can be beneficial in many ways.
C. Staying positive during situations like this is not easy.
D. You can do things like reading positive books or listening to positive songs.
E. Is it possible to be positive and still have your circumstances get even worse?
F. However, the problem is that life is tough.
G. So what you can do is start focusing on what is good.

第三节 书面表达（满分 25 分）
Dear Van,
I’m delighted to know that you are going back to your homeland during this summer holidays
and that you want to bring some gifts for your mother, which symbolize Chinese culture.
From my point of view, you can buy the following present. First, I think Chi-pao, a beautiful
traditional dress for Chinese women, can show the real beauty of a woman. And I’m sure your
mother will like it very much. In addition, the Chinese knot is also a nice souvenir, which is usually
hung in the sitting room as a beautiful decoration. It is a symbol of good luck. I do hope it will bring
your family good luck and happiness.
Have a good holiday and give my best regards to your family! Yours,
Li Hua

M: Well, if it's that cheap, I think I can learn to like red.

Costa Rica, a small country located in Central America, is quickly gaining a reputation
for being one of the most family-friendly travel destinations in the world. Rather than leaving
their kids behind, parents come to Costa Rica with their kids because the country offers many
opportunities that both parents and children will enjoy. Costa Rica has a well- developed travel
industry, so even travelers who don't speak Spanish will find it easy to get around.Vacationers
will discover white sand beaches, tropical fish, and places for the kids to check out animals like
monkeys. For an exciting hike, the family can climb up one of the country's active volcanoes.
Last but not least, Costa Rica is easy on the budget! Because the dollar is still strong in Latin
America, families can have an amazing Costa Rican experience for about half the cost of a trip
to Disneyland. They will find nice hotels for every budget. For 185 dollars per night, families can
stay at an ocean- side hotel that has water slides and a butterfly garden. For a cheaper alternative,
80 dollars per night will get you a nice, cozy room in a hotel with hiking trails nearby and
friendly staff available 24 hours a day. Planning your next vocation soon? Consider Costa Rica!
