David Unaipon was an inventor and writer. He was the first Aboriginal (土著的) Australian to
write published (出版的) books. He also worked hard to make life better for Aboriginal people.
David Unaipon was born in South Australia, in 1872. As a young man, he loved to read and
was interested in science and music. He thought a lot about new ways to fix engineering problems.
Between the years 1909 and 1944, Unaipon made nine important inventions. He also made drawings
for a helicopter (直升机) design. He got the idea from the Australian boomerang (回飞镖) and the
way it moved through the air. This happened in 1914, before we had helicopters.Unaipon lived most of his life in Adelaide and worked for the Aborigines' Friends' Association.
He worked and travelled around southeastern Australia for fifty years. Sometimes, while travelling
from town to town, he was told he couldn't stay in a hotel because he was black, so he understood
the problems of racism (种族主义).
In 1925, Unaipon became the first Aboriginal writer to be published. His first published writing
was an article in Sydney's Daily Telegraph newspaper. The article had the title: “Aboriginals: Their
Traditions and Customs”. He wrote many other articles for newspapers and magazines, getting
publicity about the rights of Aboriginal people. He also wrote about the need for white and black
people to work together and the need for equal rights for both black and white Australians. He was
well educated in both cultures, and in 1929 he helped with a government survey of Aboriginal health
and interests.
David Unaipon died in 1967 at the age of 95, in the same year that Aboriginal people were
first counted as part of Australia's population. In 1995, David Unaipon's picture was put on the
Australian fifty-dollar note, with a drawing of one of his inventions.
24. Which of the following can describe David Unaipon when he was young?
A. He was calm. B. He was brave.
C. He was patient. D. He was creative.
25. What can we learn about David Unaipon's helicopter design?
A. It was the model for modern helicopters.
B. It was a copy of another helicopter.
C. It was based on a local tool.
D. It was done in his 30s.
26. What do we know about David Unaipon as a writer?
A. He was the first Aboriginal writer.
B. He was concerned about racial inequality.
C. He finished most of his writings while travelling.
D. He had his writings published mainly in newspapers.
27. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. David Unaipon died an unexpected death.
B. David Unaipon was proud of his inventions.
C. David Unaipon's contributions were recognised.
D. David Unaipon's drawing abilities were appreciated.
[★★★★☆][C]
Each year, the women of Olney, England, and Liberal, Kansas, have an unusual “pancake
racing”. This tradition is said to have started on Shrove Tuesday, 1445, in Olney. Shrove Tuesday is
the day before the Christian season of Lent begins.
It is said that in 1445, an Olney woman was making pancakes. She suddenly heard the church
(教堂) bells ring, signaling the beginning of the Shrove Tuesday service. Realizing that she was
going to be late for church, she raced out the door still wearing her apron (围裙) and headscarf and
holding her frying pan (锅) with a pancake in it. Olney women continue this tradition more than 500
years later.
In 1950, a person of Liberal wanted his town to join in Olney Pancake Race. He made some phone calls to Olney to set up a friendly competition, and the people of Olney accepted the
challenge.
The rules are simple. Racers must wear the traditional headscarf and apron. They have to flip
(抛) the pancake in the air so that it flips and lands back in the pan on the other side. After the race,
there are Shrove Tuesday church services. Then Liberal and Olney connect through a video call to
compare race times and announce a winner.
In both towns, the races have grown into larger festivals. Olney's festival is an all-day event
starting with a big pancake breakfast. Liberal's festival lasts four days and includes a parade, a great
show, and eating competitions.
Although the women's race is still the main event, both towns now hold races for boys and girls
of all ages. Emma Evans, 14, was the winner of her age group's race in Liberal last year. She wore
an apron that her grandma made for her and used a pan passed down to her from her older brother.
Her family cheered her on from the sidelines.
“It's a family tradition,” Emma says. “And there are only two places in the world that compete
against each other in a race like this, so it feels special.”
28. What do we know about Olney Pancake Race?
A. It was founded by a cook.
B. It was started during Lent.
C. It is a centuries-old tradition.
D. It has been held every year since 1445.
29. What do the competitors have to do during pancake racing?
A. Wear their formal clothes.
B. Throw and catch the pancake.
C. Hand the pancake to another.
D. Eat the pancake while running.
30. Different from Olney's festival, Liberal's festival _____.
A. lasts only one day
B. has more varied activities
C. holds different races for boys
D. starts with a delicious breakfast
31. How does Emma look at pancake racing?
A. It is family-friendly.
B. It is quite competitive.
C. It should be internationalized.
D. It should provide aprons for racers.
[★★★★☆][D]
No one can deny (否认) that LeBron James gets paid a lot of money — but no one can deny
that he hasn't earned it either. He's broken the records of greats like Michael Jordan and Magic
Johnson. He's a talent (天才).
Professional athletes like LeBron give their lives to their sport — to training, traveling, and
pushing themselves to the limit. And while their lives may seem glamorous, think about this:
Athletes face injuries that can be not only career-ending but also life-changing. In fact, many retired ( 退休的) athletes have long-term health problems because of how hard they push on their bodies.
Retired New York Jets player Wesley Walker said that he suffered so much pain as a result of
playing football that today he can hardly open a water bottle.
The toll ( 代 价 ) a professional athlete's career takes on his or her body means more than a
lifetime of pain (and medical bills); it also means a short career. Athletes need pay that will carry
them past the 5 to 15 years they are able to play.
Without the showstopping performances of stars like Serena Williams and Stephen Curry,
many jobs wouldn't exist. Sports reporters, stadium workers, cheerleaders, and coaches are among
those who can thank the professional sports industry for their employment.
It may seem unfair that athletes get paid to play a game, but remember who they are really
playing for: us. We're the ones who fill stadiums in rain and snow to watch their games, who crowd
around the television to cheer them on, and who feel immeasurable joy when our team wins.
The work of professional athletes certainly pays off for us. Shouldn't it pay off for them too?
32. What does the underlined word “glamorous” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Difficult. B. Tiresome.
C. Attractive. D. Organized.
33. Which of the following may the author agree with?
A. Professional athletes have no idea about their limits.
B. Injuries are a problem for professional athletes.
C. Retired professional athletes are badly treated.
D. Professional athletes' careers are short.
34. What is the author's attitude to athletes' high salaries?
A. Doubtful. B. Surprised.
C. Supportive. D. Unconcerned.
35. What is the best title for the text?
A. The most impressive athletes
B. You can't put a price on talent
C. You shouldn't push athletes hard
D. Salaries in the professional sports industry

Lizzy Greene's official website says it all: “Actress, Artist & Animal Lover.” At 13, Lizzy has
performed in children's theater, and she is a trained gymnast. She is most known for her role as
Dawn Harper on Nickelodeon's Nicky, Ricky, Dicky & Dawn. Now Lizzy is taking on another role
— as a voice for animals.
36 She grew up with dogs, and her family's pet is a 110-pound German shepherd (牧羊犬)
named Jett. On the show, Lizzy shares the screen with a lovable 20-pound dog named Squishy Paws.
In second grade, she stationed herself outside her school to ask for donations (捐款) to a local animal
shelter. 37
Now Lizzy is also speaking out for farm animals. She's recently joined The Humane Society of
the United States' Meatless Monday movement. She encourages young people to take a break from
eating meat on Mondays. 38 And she's encouraging the under-20 crowd to take part.Lizzy knows that raising animals for meat causes pollution, uses a lot of natural resources (资源)
like water and also harms animals. 39 Choosing meat-free meals one day a week is also a great
way to feel healthy.
Many K-12 schools, universities and hospitals nationwide have started Meatless Monday
programs.
“It's so easy to love animals,” Lizzy says. 40
For some kid-and-animal-friendly meatless recipes (食谱), visit humonesociety.org/kindnews.

B. Lizzy has only just begun her bright career.
C. Animals have always been a big part of Lizzy's life.
D. And Lizzy says she has always wanted to help animals.
E. Cutting meat from our diet once a week helps the environment — and animals.
F. Kids' breakfast can be as simple as trying a vegetable burger instead of a hamburger.
G. After the movement, Lizzy says she wants to save a few more lives and force humans to eat
healthier.

stay with her.
(Text 3)
M: I got the job! It's with a small moving company. They have ten trucks.
W: And what's your job?
M: Answering phones, typing letters and keeping records.
W: Sounds good. Let's celebrate and go out for dinner.
(Text 4)

W: Australia. What about you?
M: Well, I'm British, but my family came from Italy.
(Text 5)
W: Let's go to English Corner this Sunday morning!
M: Oh, I'd rather not. I'm not good at speaking English, you know. I get nervous speaking English
in front of many people.
W: I think you should go. If you don't practice, you'll never get better at it.
M: Maybe you're right. I'll think about it.
(Text 6)
M: Susan, did you watch the football match last night?
W: No, I didn't. I was busy with the business plan. Our manager called and told me he would need
it for the meeting this afternoon. It was an exciting game, wasn't it?
M: Yes, it was wonderful.
W: Really? Who won?
M: Our city team. Actually, both teams were very strong, and the score was close, 5-4. By the end
of the match, No. 6 made a beautiful shot, and it turned out to be the winning goal.
W: Wow! That's amazing!
M: Yes, everyone shouted and cheered excitedly.
(Text 7)
M: What a lovely restaurant!
W: Yeah. No matter where we are sitting, we can see the waterfall.

M: Jane, you've been visiting the library so often these days. Have you had any luck finding a topic
for your paper?
W: Not yet. Prof. Grant told us to write about something on Asian Culture. Two weeks are passing,
and finally I know it's too broad.
M: Well, why not write about ancient China?
W: But there still is too much material to cover. I'd be writing forever, and Prof. Grant only wants
five to seven pages.
M: So, you can limit it to one region of China. I remember you spent ten days in China traveling
around last summer. Which city was your favorite?
W: Xi'an, because I love the historical sites there.
M: A paper about Xi'an's historical sites is not a bad idea.

W: I myself would prefer Chinese food, but maybe we should try something new. What about
Indian food?
M: Not bad, but Karen and Betty cannot eat Indian food. So that leaves only Chinese food. What
about music? Should we have a live band or a DJ?
W: I think we should hire a live band, since it would be a celebration for our success in the recent
project. After all, none of us is familiar with that.
M: I know a perfect band. They performed at my cousin's birthday party last Wednesday.
W: OK then. Well, I will work on my part and get back to you with my progress on Friday.
M: How about the following day? I have to attend an important meeting that day.
W: That's a deal.

One possible version:
Dear Lisa,
I'm sorry to hear you're not feeling well. I think you should have a rest.
First, I don't think you should stay up too late to study every night, because it can do harm
to your health. You should learn to keep a balance between your studies and free time, and it's
especially important to get enough sleep. If you have to stay up, I suggest you eat more fresh
vegetables and fruits. What's more, if you really have difficulty in your studies, you can have a talk
with your favourite teachers or best friends to ask for help. I'm sure they will be helpful.
I hope you'll take good care of yourself and enjoy your life and studies!
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
