A
The world's best
underwater hotels Atlantis The Palm, Dubai
The underwater rooms at Atlantis The Palm really are fit for the king of the
seas. Set alongside a huge aquarium(水族馆), they are pretty much the most
romantic place you could ever dream of, as long as you don't have nightmares
about sharks! This unusual hotel room costs around $7,000 a night.
Conrad Maldives Rangali Island, Maldives
The Conrad Maldives Rangali Island doesn't have an underwater room, but
you can still have dinner below the waves, without having to wear a diving suit.
The Ithaa Undersea Restaurant is located sixteen feet below sea level and
while you eat happily, sharks and fishes swirl( 旋 转 ) above your head. Set
menus cost upwards of $300 per person. Book at least a couple of weeks
ahead.
Utter Inn, Vasteras, Sweden
The Utter Inn was designed by local artist Mikael Genberg and is one of the
cheapest underwater hotels out there, floating on Lake Malaren, near
Stockholm. From $250 a night, this is more like an unusual ship’s cabin than
luxury( 奢 侈 的 ) accommodation, but as an appealing twist on traditional
Swedish living, it's now a very fashionable place to spend the weekend.
Jules' Undersea Lodge, Key Largo, Florida
Jules' Undersea Lodge is named after the author of Twenty Thousand
Leagues Under the Sea and is the oldest underwater hotel, surrounded by
angelfish and other species off the coast of Florida. Getting there is somewhat
of a challenge-it's located 21 feet beneath the surface of the sea. Brave
couples can stay the night here for $800.
21. What should you do before visiting the Conrad Maldives Rangali Island?
A. Book in advance. B. Buy a diving suit.

High school is the time you discover who you are. Friends leave you and
relationships break up. It is terrible. I'm not going to lie, my senior year was
the worst year of all. I lost a lot of my "friends" and started to become really
unhappy about the lack of social interactions(交往) until suddenly an amazing
person came into my life.
It was the second semester(学期) of my senior year. Tension(紧张) was high
for me
with applying to colleges and trying to get perfect grades. I had lost people
who had been my friends for years. One day, our school posted names of
students who were going into the military, and I saw a girl named Dominique C.
It was super unusual to see another Dominique. I knew I had to meet her. One
day, I noticed a guy I talked to on a daily basis was talking with her. He saw me
and introduced me to Dominique C. She was the complete opposite of me, with
short black hair and big green eyes. But somehow, we just clicked at once.
Many people never understood how we became friends. We both had very
different social circles, but we were basically the same person. We both loved
literature. Studying Greek together, we understood each other's thoughts. We
reacted to everything in the same way. We only knew each other for a few
months, but we acted as if we were friends for years.
This year has been hard on our friendship. Due to Dominique C joining the
military and me studying in and out of state college, Dominique C and I have
hardly talked. Together we communicate as much as we can during breaks.
Still our friendship is strong.
I am lucky to have Dominique in my life. Every time we cried together and
held hands down the hallways, it actually made my day. And fighting for French
fries and hamburgers always had me in tears. I cannot wait to spend the
summer with Dominique C.
24. What did the author try to do in the second semester of her senior year?
A. Get high scores. B. Drop out of school
C. Visit different colleges. D. Learn to become positive.
25. What does the underlined word“clicked”in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Learned a lot. B. Became friends.
C. Completed the task. D. Joined the military.
26. What did the author tell us about
Dominique C?
A. She had a different character from the
author.
B. She had many common friends with the
author.
C. She looked completely different from the author.
D. She spent too much time in learning Greek.
27. What can we learn about the author and Dominique C?
A. They study in the same college.
B. They have a strong relationship.
C. They often fight over some big things.
D. They hardly communicate during breaks.
C
Socotra, a small group of islands in the Indian Ocean, is one of the most
isolated(孤零零的) places on Earth. It is located some 240 kilometers east of
the Horn of Africa and 380 kilometers south of the Arabian Peninsula.
So why visit Socotra? Because of Socotra's isolation from the rest of the
world, it has developed its own special ecosystem( 生 态 系 统 ) free from any
outside influence. One good example of this special plant life is the dragon's
blood tree, with its branches and leaves that grow at a strange angle from a
thick trunk. Scientists found that up to 37% of the plant life found on the
islands is not found anywhere else on Earth. The island group also has many
unique( 独 特 的 ) birds. These birds have different appearance from other
species. Scientists still do not fully understand these birds and each year, they
stay in the islands to study them.
The natives of Socotra are of Arab, Somali, and South Asian origins.
Hundreds of years of isolation have resulted in many special cultural traditions
among the Socotri people. Traditional fishing methods still survive among the
people living there. People on Socotra also practice their own conservation
techniques, such as alternating(轮流安排) between herding and fishing. This
way of life has helped to conserve the resources on and around the islands for
hundreds of years.
The things that make Socotra special are now beginning to disappear. More
and more tourists have been visiting the islands recently and this has
destroyed Socotra's ecosystem. Cats have been brought to the islands and they
are hunting Socotra’s unique bird population so successfully that some bird
species are now close to dying out. It is difficult to know whether Socotra's
special standing in the world will survive the 21st century.
28. What is the primary cause of Socotra's unique ecosystem?
A. Its tradition. B. Its wildlife. C. Its population. D. Its location.
29. What can we infer about the people on Socotra from Paragraph 3?
A. They look forward to traveling abroad.
B. They have destroyed Socotra's ecosystem.
C. They have given up their cultural traditions.
D. They make efforts to preserve the environment.
30. How does the author sound when writing the last paragraph?
A. Cautious. B. Ambitious. C. Anxious. D. Curious.
31. What would be the best title for the text?
A. The secrets of Socotra B. The traveler's guide to Socotra
C. The happiest place on the planet D. The unique culture of the Socotri people
D
This year's flu season is shaping up to be a bad one. The new type of flu virus
is more severe(严重)than most. In addition many people find the vaccine(疫苗)
this year to be less effective,and others are wondering if they should still get
a flu shot. The answer is yes.
Each summer, scientists try to make a best guess on which variants(变体)
are going to be more common in the coming year. They look at data from other
countries, and then they make the shot to match. Sometimes a vaccine doesn't
work well because some variants change too much. That's why in any year, even
when you're vaccinated, you can get the flu. The shot is about reducing your
risk, not getting rid of it.
“Less” and “more” effective are relative terms, so we need to focus more on
absolute risks. In 2010, researchers published an in-depth analysis of all flu
shot studies. They showed that when a vaccine was considered effective, 1.2
percent of vaccinated people had the flu, while 3.9 percent of unvaccinated
people had the flu. That's an absolute risk reduction (ARR) of 2.7 percentage
points. In studies in which the flu shot was considered ineffective, 1.1 percent of
vaccinated people had the flu compared with 2.4 percent of unvaccinated
people. The ARR was 1.3 percentage points.
Let's say this year's flu vaccine is even worse than we think. Maybe the ARR
will be as low as 1 percentage point. That's still not that bad. Given the millions
who are likely to suffer from flu and the thousands of deaths each year, this is
a big payoff in public health. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC) says that 9 million to 36 million people become ill with the flu each year
in the United States. Somewhere between 140,000 and 710.000 of them
require hospitalization, and 12,000 to 56,000 die each year.
No vaccine is perfectly protective in any year. But to minimize(最小化) your
chances of illness, yes, you should still get the flu shot this year, and any year.
32. What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A. Why some vaccines are ineffective. B. Why people should get vaccines.
C. How a new vaccine is developed. D. How people survive flu in summer.
33. What can the ARR tell us according to the text?
A. How flu spreads. B. The risk of a vaccine.
C. How dangerous flu could be. D. The effectiveness of a flu
vaccine.
34. Why does the author provide the CDC's figures?
A. To show many people suffer from serious diseases each year.
B. To show flu vaccines are sometimes ineffective.
C. To show flu is a major cause of human death.
D. To show vaccines can still save many people.
35. What is the main purpose of the text?
A. To give an introduction to this year's vaccine.
B. To persuade people to receive flu vaccines.
C. To report a threatening type of flu virus.
D. To explain the spread of flu viruses.

Future football stars
Football academies were set up by leading football clubs so their coaches
could run trials to discover and train talented boys from as young as eight as
potential(潜在的) players for their first team.
This means that in Britain there are at least 9,000 boys at any one time
attending academies after school who think they are going to be a famous
footballer. 36 One eight-year-old was selected for Chelsea Academy and he
went from being top of his class at school to being the boy who was messing
around at the back. His mother asked him why he wasn't trying hard at school
any more. His reply was that he was going to be a footballer and be rich, so he
didn't need to. In the end, he only lasted a year in the academy. 37 And he
wasn't so discouraged that he never played football again.
38 Any sport where only a few can get to the top has many talented
failures. These people are very good and do their best but finally it will not pay
off because they are just not outstanding enough. In football, this effect is big
because the number of players chosen by academies is so huge. 39
This doesn't put off all the boys who are spotted by the big football clubs
and are desperate to join the academies. 40 They get to play as much football
as possible. The skills become part of them, as they are with professional
players, so they are automatic and the boys don't have to think about them
when they're on the football field.
A. Unfortunately, for most this isn't the case.
B. The benefits are still there for them of course.
C. All the big football clubs have a football academy.
D. But, luckily for him, he was still young enough to get over it.
E. But football is not alone when it comes to this kind of thing.
F. Most of these won't get into a team and most won't become professionals.
G. And footballers are much more likely to get injured when they play games.

I once was a student with poor grades. The low grades gradual decreased
my interest of learning. I felt ashamed and disappointing all the time and didn't
know what to do with our life. One day, a teacher comes up to me and
encouraged me with so persuasive words that I determined to work hard again.
Since then, my grades have never dropped below a B, and I've found again the
fun in learning and become confident than before. After this experience, I have
been decided that if it was one thing I could do to make the world a better place
it would be to help others see the wonder in studying. I would, if possible, be a
math tutor for my classmate and help them with their homework.

Dear Jack,
Learning you'll go back home soon and wish to buy some gifts for
your friends, I'd like to share with you my opinions.
Of all the typical Chinese gifts, I think Chinese stamps are the best
choice. Stamps are considered to be nice things to collect and have
long-lasting value. Besides, stamps cover Chinese landscapes, animal
signs and major events, from which your friends can get a better
understanding of China. What' s more, they're very easy to carry.
You can go to any post office in China or its related website to buy
some. I'm sure Chinese stamps will make your friends very happy.
Yours,
Li Hua
