【解析】
试题分析：这是一篇关于去英国肯特郡旅游的文章。文章是以一个旅行团的角度来展开的，介绍了这一旅行团的一些优势和旅途的详细情况。
【1】推理判断题。由第一段“Come with us to the “Garden of England” and enjoy the best sight that the County of Kent can offer us.”和我们一起去英格兰的后花园——肯特郡，去享受它带给我们的极致风景，可知，游客只是享受肯特郡的风景而不是全英国的。故选项A排除。由第三段最后一句“the most beautiful castle（城堡）in England—Leeds Castle.”可知，利兹城堡是英格兰最美丽的城堡，但是并没有说是最古老的，故选项B排除。由第六段第一句“On all tours we will pick you up between 7:25 am and 7:45 am at YOUR chosen London Zone 1 location”可知，在旅途中，我们将在早上7点25——7点45这段时间里把您送去伦敦一区的任何您所选的地方,而不是去英国的任何地方，故选项D错误。由第三段第一句“We’ll travel on through some of the country roads of Kent only in mini tourist coaches”可知，我们旅途只能乘坐迷你旅游客车经过肯特郡的一些道路，所以选项C正确。故选C。
【2】细节理解题。由文中第五段“Prices: Adult—55.00; Under16— 50.00; A 10% off for a family”可知，一个成人的票价为55英镑，16岁以下的青少年票价为50英镑，全家一起可以有10%的折扣。所以the Greens是两个成年人，票价为110英镑，加上一个10岁的儿子，票价为50英镑，总共是160英镑。因为是全家人一起，所以有10%的折扣，160-160×10%=144，最后总共应,144英镑。故选B。
【3】细节理解题。由文章倒数第二段“Call Anderson Tours direct at 020 7436 9304 (Monday-Friday, 8:00 a.m.-18:00 p.m.)”可知，旅行社的咨询电话为020 7436 9304，时间为星期一——星期五，上午8点——下午6点。只有选项D：星期三下午5点符合。故选D。
【4】主旨大意题。文章主要在介绍他们这个旅行团的一些情况和好处，所以这篇文章是为了吸引更多的人加入他们的旅行团。故选A。

【题目】 More than half of the birds in Washington are at risk of extinction because of climate change. That's according to a new national report from the Audubon Society, which gives detailed analysis of climate effects on about 600 species of North American birds.
It's based on more than 140 million observations of birds across the US, Mexico and Canada. Audubon scientists looked at the likely effects of sea-level rise, urbanization, drought, extreme spring heat, increased fires, heavy rain and other factors.
But it doesn't just spell out a doomsday scenario (世界末日).Instead, it offers a range of effects and warming, depending on how much carbon humans add to the atmosphere.
"It is truly an existential threat (威胁), not only to birds but to people,” said Doug Santoni, board chair of Audubon Washington, who looked into the report as soon as it came out.
Santoni says he was struck to see the vulnerability (脆弱)of a common “ backyard bird" , the dark-eyed junco. It's one that many first-time birders become familiar with as they learn how to identify species based on their markings and other traits. Currently in Washington, you can count on juncos to show up at your feeder, year round. Extreme spring heat, increased fires and heavy rain are the kinds of changes that will force birds like these north, or kill them off if they fail to adapt.
Trina Bayard, director of bird conservation at Audubon’s Washington chapter, says, "It's certainly a very serious warning report," but adds that there’s still hope. “If we can stabilize current temperatures and decrease our emissions (排放), we can really reduce the effects to these birds …that's very motivating. ”
【1】What can we know about the new report?
A.It analyses the species of birds in detail.
B.It's issued by watching 600 bird species.
C.It shows the end of North American birds.
D.It reports the threat some birds are facing.
【2】What may Santoni probably agree with?
A.Climate change is a threat only to birds.
B.It's too late to take action to save the birds.
C.The current situation of the birds is worrying.
D.It's common that birds are affected by climate change.
【3】Which of the following can help these birds according to Trina?
A.Lowering present temperatures.
B.Reducing our daily emissions.
C.Making them adapt to climate change.
D.Encouraging people to protect them.
【4】What can be the best title for the text?
A.Climate change threatens many Washington bird species.
B.A new report about 600 species of North American birds.
C.Different attitudes towards the situation of bird species.
D.Climate change makes different kinds of species at risk.

【题目】请认真阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意：每个空格只填一个单词。
The expression,“ everybody’s doing it,” is very much at the center of the concept of peer pressure. It is a strong influence of a group, especially of children, on members of that group to behave as everybody else does. It can be positive or negative. Most people experience it in some way during their lives.
People are social creatures by nature, and so it is hardly surprising that part of their self-respect comes from the approval of others. This instinct (天性) is why the approval of peers, or the fear of disapproval, is such a powerful force in many people’s lives. It is the same instinct that drives people to dress one way at home and another way at work, or to answer “fine” when a stranger asks“ how are you?” even if it is not necessarily true. There is a practical aspect to this: it helps society to function efficiently, and encourages a general level of self-discipline that simplifies day-to-day interaction.
For certain individuals, seeking social acceptance is so important that it becomes like an addiction; in order to satisfy the desire, they may go so far as to abandon their sense of right and wrong. Teens and young adults may feel forced to use drugs, or join gangs that encourage criminal behavior. Mature adults may sometimes feel pressured to cover up illegal activity at the company where they work, or end up in debt because they are unable to hold back the desire to buy a house or car that they can’t afford in an effort to“ keep up with the Joneses”.
However, peer pressure is not always negative. A student whose friends are good at academics may be urged to study harder and get good grades. Players on a sports team may feel driven to play harder in order to help the team win. This type of influence can also get a friend off drugs, or to help an adult take up a good habit or drop a bad one. Study groups and class projects are examples of positive peer groups that encourage people to better themselves.
Schools try to teach kids about the dangers of negative peer pressure. They teach kids to stand up and be themselves, and encourage them to politely decline to do things that they believe are wrong. Similarly, it can be helpful to encourage children to greet the beneficial influence of positive peer groups.
What is Peer Pressure
Concept of peer pressure | Peer pressure refer to the strong【1】that you must do thing the way other people of your ager do. |
It works in nearly everyone of us, and 【2】us in one way or another, good or bad. | |

【题目】 “One thousand readers lead to one thousand Hamlets.” It is also true to English learners. English learners do have learning methods different from each other. Some are reasonable, some negative(否定的), and some hard to judge.
Some learners hold the view that “I don’t have any gift for learning English, it’s difficult for me”. Of course, I don’t agree with the idea. It’s indeed a fact that some people are more gifted(有天赋的) than others, but everyone can learn, as long as you find a suitable learning method and work harder.
Some think that the key to learning English well is to remember a rich vocabulary. As far as I’m concerned, that is far from being a successful English learner. Vocabulary is vital, but knowing how to use the exact words and expressions in certain situations is more important.
I disagree that in order to speak English well you have to live in an English-speaking country. I know many people who speak excellent English but they have never been abroad. But it doesn’t mean environment is not important. Being in an English-speaking country, you can not only be exposed(暴露) to the language but also learn the culture of the country, which is helpful to you. However, not everyone has a chance to go abroad. So, we are learning English, we should speak more. As what I believe, “Don’t be shy! Just try!” No matter what we do, mistakes will happen. All we should do is learning from the mistakes, and trying to correct them in the next.
There is a saying goes, silence is gold. However, when it comes to English learning, silence means nothing. If we are always being afraid of making mistakes, we will get nothing in the end.
Finally, confidence is important to our English learners. Being given a chance to speak, you should seize it and speak out. Only after you speak out can others know your opinions. All you should do is not worry about making mistakes, but try to express your opinion clearly. Besides, speaking itself is so good a chance to test and improve your spoken English.
【1】The writer thinks that the least important in learning English is ________.
A. environment B. confidence C. gift D. vocabulary
【2】The word “vital” in Paragraph 3 probably means “________”.
A. useless B. different C. difficult D. important
【3】According the passage, we can learn that ________.
A. we can not avoid making mistakes when learning a foreign language.
B. it’s true that some people don’t have any gift for learning English.
C. we can’t speak English well unless living in a foreign country for some time.
D. words and expressions are more important than grammar rules in learning English.
【4】What could be the best title for the passage?
A. Hamlet and English learners.
B. Tips about English Learning.
C. How to learn spoken English.
D. Different learners learn different English.

Yesterday I paid a visit to the Hong’en Temple Park with my friends. The park was full of fresh and beauty flowers. When I was enjoying the wonderful scenery around, something unpleasant catch my eye. A young couple on the grass was eating, talking and laughing loudly even if they were the only people in the world. What’s worse, they spat and even threw rubbish onto the grass, ignoring the sign “No littering” nearby. What a shame!
So behavior left me deep in thought. If all visitors to the Hong’en Temple Park do as the young couples did, the park will be severely polluting and soon turned into a huge dustbin. I think both of us should mind our behavior in the public places. Only in this way can we live more comfortable and beautiful surroundings.

Christine was just a girl in one of my classes. I never knew much about her except for that she was strange. She didn't talk many. Her hair was black and purple, and she worn black sports shoes and a black sweater, although in the summer, she was, in fact, rather attractively, and she never seemed care what the rest of us thought about her. Like the rest of my classmate, I didn't really want to get closest to her. It was only when we did their chemistry project together that I begin to understand why Christine dressed the way she did.

I almost didn’t wake up in time for school this morning. I stayed up late last night, prepare my lessons. The alarm clock does go off, but I didn’t hear them because I was too tired.
It was already 7 o’clock when I opened my eye. The first thing I was aware was that I would be late. Terrified, I ran to school and without having breakfast. I didn’t want to be criticized by the teacher, nor I want to be laughed at by my classmates. Lucky, I rushed into the classroom in the last minute. We had a test today, for that I was well-prepared and it was so easy a exam that I got high marks. What an exciting experience!
