Kinabalu Botanical Garden is one of the biggest attractions at the park, which started in 1981.

The name Magic Leap is starting to spread across the Internet, and for a good reason. The Magic Leap technology company in the US has been working on something new and exciting, keeping it so secret that even the people working on the project have been hidden from the media. But recently they have started to release more information, and it seems that the future of computing is about to change dramatically. Magic Leaps preview shows the possibility of a classroom where you can interact with a miniature 3-D man and watch animals floating in front of your eyes. You could come face to face with fierce creatures like tigers and sharks, and more might be possible very soon. The company hopes to create new technology that mixes reality and virtual reality computing. This means that the way we interact with computers could change completely, and so could the gaming industry. Imagine a game in which you can not only look after a dragon on a screen, but also see it walking around your home, feed it and play with it. This is a world where movies will make you jump as things come, flying at you. Rio Caraeff, the companys chief content officer, said that instead of staring at a phone screen, “the world becomes your screen”. All of this could be the next step for Magic Leap, and their newly-released video suggests so. The video shows a small elephant floating in the hands of its user, a virtual reality pet that the user can interact with. Exciting to think about, no? It seems that the excitement has inspired other companies who are lining up to join in on this new project. The technology, called Cinematic Reality, is attracting the attention of large companies like Google, who are already investing large sums of money in the project hoping to see it become a reality.24Which of the following is TRUE about the Magic Leap technology company? A. The company is working on new technology that could improve the future of computing. B. The company keeps updating the media on its progress. C. The company has just discovered a way to mix reality and virtual reality computing. D. The companys newly released video is about the interaction between a dragonpet and its user.25. What could a classroom in the future look like, according to Magic Leap? A. A miniature 3D man could take the place of teachers. B. Students could be encouraged to raise a virtual reality pet on campus. C. The gaming industry could be invited to help students improve their studies.D. Students could interact with virtual reality animals. 26. How could Magic Leaps technology change the world according to the article? A. It could discourage people from playing a lot of computer games. B. It could turn the whole world into an interactive screen for its users. C. It could help people improve their ability to interact with others. D. It could make it hard for people to distinguish between virtual reality and reality.27. What is Googles attitude toward the technology named “Cinematic Reality”? A. Unconcerned. B. Optimistic. C. Worried. D. Negative. C “Shake a leg” and “show a leg” are usually discussed together, but it isnt at all clear how they are connected. Both phrases have more than one meaning. “Shake a leg” means “hurry up” according to the definition in the New York Magazine in 1904. Before that, “shake a leg” had another meaning, which was “to dance”. There are several quotations from all kinds of American and Britain sources from the mid-19th century that are related to dancing; for example, the Dubuque Democratic Herald, October 1863, in an advertisement for a local ball: “Nearly every man in town able to shake a leg has purchased a ticket.”“Show a leg” means either “make an appearance”, or it means “hurry up”. The second meaning isnt commonly used, nor is it old. Whatever the source, it isnt the original meaning of “show a leg”. Most commentators report that the phrase derives from the Royal Navy and that this was the order given to sailors to put a foot from their hammocks（吊床）and get up.The use of “show a leg” as a wake-up call is well documented. John Masefield (Poet Laureate from 1930 to 1967) was a trainee mariner on HMS Conway until 1891. He reported the full version of the morning call as: “Heave out, heave out, heave out, heave out! Away! Come all you sleepers, Hey! Show a leg.” Thats the earliest quotation of the naval call I can find, although it may have been used well before 1891.An alternative version comes from the fact that women were allowed on board Royal Navy ships in the 19th century and that they were allowed to stay asleep after the sailors had been woken. In the morning the bosuns mates（水手长助手） had to check whoever was still asleep and did so by requiring them to show a leg over the side of the hammock. If a leg was hairy, it was probably male and its owner was ordered to get up and begin work. Believe that if you will; personally, I dont.All in all, although both of the two English slangs are sometimes used to mean “hurry up”, they are two independent phrases that were coined with different meanings.28. How many ways does the slang “show a leg” come from?A. 4. B. 3. C. 2. D. 1.29. In which sentence does “shake a leg” have a different meaning?A. You must shake a leg to catch the last bus.B. They wanted to shake a leg on a TV show.C. Nearly every man in town able to shake a leg has purchased a ticket.D. I will shake a leg with him at the next ball with great pleasure.30. What is the authors attitude to the version mentioned in Paragraph 5?A. Doubtful. B. Supportive. C. Indifferent. D. Neutral. 31. The authors purpose of writing the text is most likely to _.A. to persuade readers to learn slangs seriously B. to distinguish “shake a leg” and “show a leg”C. to describe “shake a leg” and “show a leg” D. to remark on “shake a leg” and “show a leg”D Like many new graduates, I left university full of hope for the future but with no real idea of what I wanted to do. My degree, with honors, in English literature had not really prepared me for anything practical. I knew I wanted to make a difference in the world somehow, but I had no idea how to do that. Thats what I learned about the Lighthouse Project. I started my journey as a Lighthouse Project volunteer by reading as much as I could about the experiences of previous volunteers. I knew it would be a lot of hard work, and that I would be away from my family and friendsfor a very long time. In short, I did not take my decision to apply for the Lighthouse Project lightly. Neither did my family. Eventually, however, I won the support of my family, and I sent in all the paperwork needed for the application. After countless interviews and presentations, I managed to stand out among the candidates and survive the test alone. Several months later, I finally received a call asking me to report for the duty. I would be going to a small village near Abuja, Nigeria. Where? What? Nigeria? I had no idea. But I was about to find out. After completing my training, I was sent to the village that was small and desperately in need of proper accommodation. Though the local villagers were poor, they offered their homes, hearts, and food as if I were their own family. I was asked to lead a small team of local people in building a new schoolhouse. For the next year or so, I taught in that same schoolhouse. But I sometimes think I learned more from my students than they did from me. Sometime during that period, I realized that all those things that had seemed so strange or unusual to me no longer did, though I did not get anywhere with the local language, and returned to the United States a different man. The Lighthouse Project had changed my life forever.32. What do we know about the author? A. His dream at university was to become a volunteer. B. His university education focused on the theoretical knowledge. C. He felt honored to study English literature. D. He took pride in having contributed to the world.33. According to Paragraph 2, it is most likely that the author _. A. discussed his decision with his family B. felt sad about having to leave his family and friends C. learned previous volunteers about voluntary work D. attended special training to perform difficult tasks34. In his application for the volunteer job, the author _. A. faced strong competition from other candidates B. went through challenging survival tests C. wrote quite a few papers on voluntary work D. participated in many discussions35. What can we infer from the authors experiences in Nigeria? A. He found some difficulty adapting to the local culture. B. He had learned to communicate in the local language. C. He had overcome all his weaknesses before he left for home. D. He was chosen as the most respectable teacher by his students.第二节 七选五（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(有两个选项为多余选项)。For the love of reading The importance of nurturing (培养) young children as readers has become more and more apparent. Here are four ways to help your child become a reader.Read aloud. A six-year study found reading aloud to children every day puts them almost a year ahead of children who do not receive daily read-alouds. _36_ Using texts above the childrens levels gives them the chance to hear high-level vocabulary and absorb complex language structures. Reading aloud below their levels also allows them to relax and enjoy beloved texts.Encourage close reading from the youngest age._37_ Use picture book illustrations to strike up deeper questions and conversations. Ask questions you dont know the answers to so that children will be able to answer in ways that reflect their own ideas._38_Entering the world of stories and knowledge should feel like an exciting discovery process. Create visual ways to track the journey. From a reading minute tracker to a “words we learned” or “our big ideas” chart, we can use these visuals to pause for “hip hiphooray (欢呼)” moments.Honor each childs unique identity.Children become great readers by finding connections as they read. _39_ “I notice you like books where animals are the main characters.” “I notice you like books where girls are strong characters.” Even the youngest child will begin to recognize that each persons reading choices matter._40_ A child who sees reading as a lifelong, constant companion is more likely to have a lifetime of success.A. It is a way to bathe children in the power of the written words. B. Name what you notice about why a child is drawn to a text.C. Young children can read early and should be reading all year.D. Hand them a pen when it is necessary.E. We can do this by asking them questions.F. Make the journey a celebration. G. The child builds the knowledge that is necessary for being a reader.第三部分 英语知识运用(共两节，满分45分)第一节 完形填空(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Adventure is in my blood. And I had been considering how I was going to celebrate my high school graduation. I didnt just want a small 41 in the backyard. I started thinking about doing a solo 42 somewhere out of the ordinary.

Because I get my adventurous 47 from him, he was all for it.I had only been away from my 48 three days now, but there was an inner 49 going on inside of me. Part of me was homesick and doubting whether I 50 could make it. The other part of me was ready to 51 to myself and my family that I could do it by myself.On the road, I met another 52 who was quite a bit older than I was. He had started his journey 53 by bike at the southern part of Norway and had just finished. I could tell he had a great sense of 54 . It encouraged me not to 55 .As I listened to my 56 artists on my MP4 player, I pedaled (踩踏板) with my feet. There was 57 around me for miles. 58 , that wasnt entirely true.

But, however 60 it would be, nothing could stop my advance towards the destination. As you know, adventure is in my blood.41. A. conversation B. meetingC. party D. g
