Thailand's southern beaches attract travelers with their clean water and dramatic cliffs (峭壁),
but there's more to explore in this Southeast Asian country.
Lopburi for history buffs
Bypass the tour groups at the ancient city of Ayutthaya and head two hours north of the capital,
Bangkok, for a peaceful walk through Thai history. Lopburi, one of Thailand's oldest cities, boasts
Khmer-era temples and the uncrowded ruins of King Narai's Palace, which was built in the 1600s.
It's also known for the monkeys that gather at Phra Prang Sam Yot temple in the center of town.
Ban Krut for beach bums
In Ban Krut, travelers will find one of the cleanest and quietest stretches of white sandy beach
within driving distance of Bangkok. This sleepy seaside community, known mostly by locals, is a
five-hour drive or six-hour train trip down the Gulf of Thailand. Don't miss the magnificent Wat
Tang Sai, a huge, fairy tale castle-like Buddhist temple.
Cave for holiday hikers
Hiking trails, wetlands and forests make Khao Sam Roi Yot National Park a weekend adventure
worthy of topping your Thailand to-do list. The park's crown jewel is the extraordinary Phraya
Nakhon Cave. Come early to catch the picturesque chamber flooded with morning sunshine that
spotlights the royal pavilion that sits inside.
River Kwai for nature lovers
Most visitors come for the beaches, but the rivers and parks in Thailand's Kanchanaburi
province have much to offer. Scenic trails and waterfalls abound in Sai Yok and Erawan national
parks. Just two hours from Bangkok is the bridge made famous in the book Bridge over the River
Kwai by French author, Pierre Boulle, and the 1957 Academy Award-winning 1957 film adaptation
of the same name. Stay on the river at one of Kanchanaburi's many floating hotels, where you can

Alaska state officials are hosting Walmart executives in the state capital this week in an effort
to resolve a months-old argument over Alaskan salmon fisheries’ sustainability qualifications.
The seeds of the quarrel were planted several years ago when several Alaskan fisheries decided
to end their relationship with the Marine Stewardship Council—the famous global organization that
states and proves the truthfulness of sustainable fishing—to seek out other means assuring customers
of their sustainable practices. But last June, Walmart told Alaskan fisheries that it would not be
buying salmon sourced from fisheries not certified by the Marine Stewardship Council.
Now Walmart is caught between two forces–Alaska fisheries and “buy American” enthusiasts
who think the company’s first responsibility should be to American industry, and environmentalists
who think Walmart should make as strong a commitment to environmentally sustainable industry as
possible.
But from a broader perspective, this latest noise is an object lesson in why the concept of
corporate (公司的) responsibility has shortcomings to begin with. Walmart—like most successful
corporations—is pretty good at offering products their customers want at low prices. When it tries to
promote broader public goods, like a clean environment, or lower unemployment for veterans, it’s
nowhere near as successful. Here’s a few of Walmart’s more notable corporate-responsibility
confusion:
The Buy-American Debacle: Walmart’s first major corporate responsibility push was an effort
in the 1980s to promote American-made products. But the campaign ran aground (搁浅) after a NBC
investigation revealed that the company was actually selling products manufactured in India as
“Made American.”
The Going Green Campaign: Walmart launched on a sustainability campaign aimed at making
the retail giants operations much more environmentally friendly. Though Walmart and the media
have done much to raise visibility of these efforts, the actual results have been lacking. According to
a recent report from the Institute for Local Self Reliance (ILSR), Walmart’s sustainability campaign
is much more focused on making its operations appear green to customers than stopping doing
things that would actually help the environment, like reducing emissions.
In reality, these examples simply show that one can’t realistically expect corporations to behave
in a way that is opposite to making profits. But that doesn’t mean that the goal of fishing
sustainability isn’t achievable. It’s just that the corporate structure isn’t our best means of achieving
them—the government is.4．What is the function of the Marine Stewardship Council?
A．To advocate sustainable fishing practices. B．To persuade supermarkets to buy its
products.
C．To solve disagreements between fisheries and supermarkets.
D．To guarantee the safety of goods supplied by supermarkets.
5．According to the author, Walmart’s corporate responsibility is ________.
A．confusing B．heavy
C．environmental-friendly D．unsatisfying
6．From Paragraph 5, we know ________.
A．Walmart’s sustainability campaign worked well
B．Walmart might have profited at the cost of the environment
C．ILSR’s report was part of Walmart’s campaign plan
D．Walmart had no intention to protect the environment at all
7．Who should be mainly responsible for achieving the goals of fishing sustainability?
A．The company structure B．Walmart
C．The government D．The Marine Stewardship Council

A cloudless Southern California sky looms over the Pro Park Course for the Pro Skate Park
Series. Here to compete are some of the top female skaters in the world. The women skaters range in
age from early adolescence to early 30s, but in a sport that embraces youth, there is one who stands
out. At 8 years old, Sky Brown, would be the youngest skater, male or female, ever to compete at
this series.
She is known to some — a minor star of the viral age. When her first video was posted to
YouTube, Sky initially gained a little internet fame as a premature and level-headed 4-year-old —
highly intelligent, well-spoken beyond her years, hugely talented, and yet grounded. Four years later,
it was announced that she would be competing at Huntington Beach. Still, the question remains: Is
she truly ready, or will this be another case where reality comes crashing down hard on all the hype?
And then, it turns out to be anything but. Sky goes out and presents one surprise after another.
Commentators Neal Hendrix and Chris Pastras are left in awe, “Half of the pros can't do.” The only
thing that makes the prodigy look like a kid is her size. In every other regard, she holds her own with
skaters 10 and 20 years her senior. Before the competition at Huntington, Sky was a curiosity. After,
she is a competitor.
Sky's first memory of a skateboard is seeing her father, Stuart, doing a few tricks in front of the
family home. “It always looked really fun,” says Sky. “I just kept begging to try it.” Sky progressed
quickly, although she never had a formal coach. Somehow she just had the knack. Every movement,
every shift in weight, every push and pull of body on board, she absorbed. Then, she did it herself.
“You get so close to making it,” she says of her process, “and think you're about to land it, and
then it takes you 100 more times. I'm always saying to my parents, 'Just one last try.'” If anyone was
pushing, striving to get better, it was Sky herself, learning new tricks the same way everyone else
does — by trying, failing, falling, and getting back up again.
8．What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 2?
A．To show Sky’s early experience.
B．To show Sky’s talents from varied aspects.
C．To show the public’s doubt about Sky’s competence.D．To show the public’s recognition of Sky’s performances.
9．What do we know about Sky?
A．She equals the senior skaters in the competition.
B．She looks like a professional skater in terms of her figure.
C．She participates in a competition inappropriate for the young.
D．She has already become a household name before the competition.
10．What is the main reason for Sky’s achievements?
A．Her parents push her too hard.
B．She practices hard and never quits.
C．Her coach is very strict with her.
D．Her father exerts a strong influence on her.
11．What is the best title for the text?
A．A Rocky Road Leads to Internet Fame
B．A Strong Competitor Stands out from Crowd
C．An 8-year-old Skater Amazes the World
D．A Wonder Shows at the Pro Skate Park Series
D
Don't get mad the next time you catch your teenager texting when he promised to be studying.
He simply may not be able to resist. A University of lowa(UI) study found teenagers are far more
sensitive than adults to the immediate effect or reward of their behaviors. The findings may help
explain why the initial rush of texting may be more attractive for adolescents than the long-term pay
off of studying.
"For the teenager, 'the rewards are attractive." says Professor Jatin Vaidya，an author of the
study. "They draw adolescent. Sometimes, the rewards are a kind of motivation for them. Even when
a behavior is no longer in a teenager's best interest to continue, they will, because the effect of
the reward is still there and lasts much longer in adolescents than in adults ."
For parents,that means limiting distraction (分心的事情）so teenagers can make better choices.
Take the homework and social media dilemma: At 9 p.m., shut off everything except a computer
that has no access to Facehook or Twitter, the researchers advise. "I'm not saying they shouldn't be
allowed access to technology," Vaidya says. But some help in netting their concentration is
necessary for them so they can develop those impulse-control skills.”
In their study,Vaidya and co-author Shaun Vecera note researchers generally believe teenagers
are impulsive（冲动的)，make bad decisions，and engage in risky behavior because the frontal lobes
（额叶）of their trains are not fully developed. But the UI researchers wondered. whether something
more fundamental was going on with adolescents to cause behaviors independent of higher-level
reasoning.
"We wanted to try to understand the brain's reward system how it change from chillhood to
adulthood," Says Vaidya, who adds the reward character in the human brain is easier than
decision-making. “We've been trying to understand the reward process in adolescence and
whether there is more to adolescence behavior than an under-developed frontal lobe,”he adds.For
their study ,the researchers persuaded 40 adolescents, aged 13 and 16,and 40 adults, aged 20 and 35
to participate.
In the future,researchers hope to look into the psychological and neurological（神经学上的）
aspects of their results.12．What does the passage mainly tell us?
A．The initial rush of texting is less attractive for adolescents than the long-term pay off of studying.
B．Always, rewards are attractive to teenagers.
C．Resistance can be controlled well by adolescents.
D．Getting rewards is the greatest motivation for adolescents to study.
13．Which statement agrees with Vaidya's idea?
A．The influence of the reward is weak in adolescents.
B．Parents should help children in making decisions.
C．Children should have access to the Internet.
D．Children need help in refocusing their attention.
14．What result does teenagers' brain underdevelopment lead to?
A．Doing things after some thought.
B．Making good decisions.
C．Joining in dangerous actions.
D．Escaping risky behavior.
15．How did the researchers carry out their study?
A．By making a comparison of brain examinations.
B．By examining adults’ brain.
C．By examining teenage brain.
D．By building the train’s reward system.
第二节 (共 5 小题:每小题 2 分，满分 10 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。
Why are some people successful and others aren’t? What’s the secret of success? 16．
Many of Gladwell’s ideas appear in his social psychology bestseller Outliers.17． Gladwell
thinks that this is just an excuse for not trying… and if you really want to be good at something, you
have to work at it. “Practice isn’t the thing you do once you’re good,” Gladwell writes. “It’s the
thing you do that makes you good.”
Central to the book is the “10,000-hour rule”. It means that if you want to be among the best in
the world, you need to practise something for 10,000 hours. 18． For example, the Beatles played live
in Hamburg more than 1,200 times between 1960 and 1964, which is more than 10,000 hours of
playing time. And when Microsoft chairman Bill Gates was 13, he was given access to a high school
computer (one of the few available in the country), allowing him to practise computer programming
for more than (Yes, you guessed it!) 10, 000 hours.
19． Take the example of Christopher Langan, who’s mentioned in the book. He’s got an IQ of
between 195 and 210 (Albert Einstein’s IQ was estimated to have been between 160 and 180). As a
boy at school, Langan was able to take an exam in a foreign language he’d never studied and pass it
after just skim-reading a text book for three minutes. However, Langan never graduated from
university and worked in labour-intensive jobs his whole life. This proves that intelligence alone will
not lead to success—you need hard work, support, finance and opportunities. Gladwell adds, “No
one — not rock stars, not professional athletes, not software billionaires, and not even geniuses —
ever makes it alone.”
20． Even after you’ve put in your 10,000 hours of practice, you still need one other key
ingredient — luck. So, you could be the most amazing guitarist in the world, but unless you’re lucky enough to play in front of a record company executive who sees a way of exploiting that talent, you
aren’t going to be seeing your name in lights.
A．It isn’t just a question of time and support.
B．Author Malcolm Gladwell thinks he knows.
C．That’s equal to three hours a day for 10 years.
D．Of course, many people argue that you can create your own “luck”.
E.The popular view is that some of us are born talented and others aren’t.
F.The interesting thing is that success has nothing to do with intelligence.
G.Someone who’s willing to practise something for 10,000 hours is probably active.

Dear Chris,
How is everything? I have good news to tell you. A new animated film named Legend of
Deification is set to hit Chinese mainland cinemas on Jan. 25, 2020. It is because I know you
like the culture of China, especially animated films, that I would like to invite you to admire it.
The upcoming film is based on the tale of a genius strategist from the Ming Dynasty novel
“Fengshen Yanyi,” whose main character is Jiang Ziya, a mythological figure sharing the same
god universe with Nezha. I will pick you up on 3:00 p.m. at your accommodation building and
I will call you when I get there. After watching it, shall we visit some places nearby, such as the
library, in which lots of related books will appeal to you enormously?
I would be very glad if you come. Looking forward to your early reply.
Best wishes.
Yours,
Li Hua
