Pack your bags and get outside! Horse-riding Heres a novel way of chasing the Northern Lights on horseback, which is a back-to-nature experience hunting for the aurora borealis. Youll saddle up (给马备鞍) at dusk and head deeper into the wilds near the Pallas Yllas National Park. GO: Three-night full-board guided trip, including two nights in a cottage and one night glamping, from 965 per person. See aurora zone. com. Mountain-biking You can choose from guided downhill or cross-country mountain biking to road cycling and families can enjoy peaceful, slower paths and farm trails. Extra activities include hiking, water park. GO: Five-night B the extinction of even one decreases the sum total of human knowledge. But in some cases, extinction can be seen in a more positive light. Take Al-Sayyid Bedouin Sign Language （ABSL） for example, restricted to about 1,000 users in a small Israeli village with a high level of born deafness, the language seems to be bound to die by the spread of Israeli sign language. The natural reaction to the loss of ABSL is regret. It is a fascinating language that has kept linguists busy since it came to their attention around 15 years ago. But for the deaf villagers, Israeli sign language is an upgrade: it allows them to speak to tens of thousands of people rather than a few hundred, and enables them to work and marry outside the village. It is hard to see that as anything other than progress. Similarly, other endangered languages die out because people abandon them in favor of ones that serve their needs better. Technology also softens the blow, as endangered languages can now be captured in detail which also means they could eventually be brought back from the dead, much as the Hebrew language was in the 19th century. It is now the first language of 9 million people. Linguists naturally condemn the loss of language much as conservationists (环保主义者) once mourned the loss of every single species. But they are moving towards acceptance that not all species can be saved, that 5 invasive species are not always bad and that human-engineered ecosystems are not necessarily inferior to natural ones. Perhaps our attitudes to language extinction are due for a similar change. 28. What can we infer about ABSL? A. Another language replaced it. B. It is an endangered language. C. Deaf villagers prefer to use it. D. It has been studied for over 15 years. 29. What does the underlined word “upgrade” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Recovery. B. Opportunity. C. Improvement. D. Update. 30. How does technology affect languages? A. Technology can remove peoples regret. B. Languages may be rescued from the extinction. C. Technology increases the number of endangered languages. D. Endangered languages might be abandoned because of technology. 31. Whats the main idea of the text? A. More and more languages are dying out. B. Technology creates some new languages. C. People feel ashamed of language extinction. D. Language extinction is not necessarily a bad thing. D As the worlds population continues to increase, so does the amount of global waste people produce. According to data collected by the World Bank Group, nations will generate 4 billion tons of waste annually by the year 2100. The pollution from trash is not only ruining the worlds oceans, air and soil but endangering all living creatures. For years government agencies have been telling citizens to live a zero-waste lifestyle. Traditionally, manufacturers would make a product to be used and thrown by consumers. This linear model of production offered no help in the fight against global waste. Alternatively, a circular economy has been introduced. This is a system which aims to minimize waste and restore used materials. Once a products value is exhausted, the materials are recycled and returned to manufactures. The outcome is less waste. In 2016, The Wall Street Journal reported on the Taiwan islands recycling success rate in an article titled The Worlds Geniuses of Garbage Disposal. In 1997, Taiwan established its signature 4-in-l Recycling Program, consisting of communities, recycling enterprises, government cleaning teams and the Recycling Fund. Residents separate their recyclable waste and bring it to their communitys recycling locations. The local government collection teams and private collectors collect it. Recycling companies buy waste materials from them to generate profits. Importers and manufacturers who are responsible for the recyclable products pay a fee into the Recycling Fund. The Recycling Fund is an essential aspect of the program used to subsidize (资助) the recycling disposal system, support education and research and development as well as finance recycling efforts in the future. By following a circular system, more products than ever are being manufactured using recycled materials. For example, used tires can be recovered to pave roads, while plastic is reused to make new plastic products. And it also helps to conserve natural resources, reduce pollution, save landfill space and even create new job opportunities. 32. Why has a circular economy been introduced? A. The population is on the rise. B. It can help handle global waste. C. The living creatures on earth are getting less diverse. D. Traditional products are not environmentally friendly. 6 33. What can we learn about 4-in-l Recycle Program? A. The recyclable materials can be collected officially or privately. B. The importers and manufactures cover the costs of the program. C. Recycling companies buy waste materials from the residents. D. The government invests money as the recycling fund. 34. Whats the effect of the circular system? A. It will cause no waste or pollution. B. It reduces the costs of the products. C. It helps lower the unemployment rate. D. All the materials can be recycled again. 35. Which of the following does the text suggest? A. Do nothing by halves. B. All that glisters isnt gold. C. Actions speak louder than words. D. One mans trash is another mans treasure. 第二节第二节 (共共 5 小题小题；每小题每小题 2 分分，满分满分 10 分分) 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。 Some people are so rude. Who sends an e-mail or a text message that just says “Thank you”? Who leaves a voice mail message rather than texts you? Who asks for a fact easily found on the Internet? 36 Maybe Im the rude one for not appreciating lifes little courtesies (礼节). But many social norms (规范) just dont make sense to people drowning in digital communication. Take the thank-you note. Daniel Post Senning, a co-author of Emily Posts Etiquette, asked, “At what point does showing appreciation outweigh the cost?” 37 Think of how long it takes to listen to one of those messages. In texts, you dont have to declare who you are or even say hello. E-mail, too, is slower than a text. The worst are those who leave a voice mail and then send an e-mail message to tell you they left a voice mail. This isnt the first time that technology has changed our manners. 38 Alexander Graham Bell, the inventor, suggested that people say, “Ahoy!” Finally, hello won out, and the victory sped up the greetings use in face-to-face communications. In the age of the smart phone, there is no reason to ask once-acceptable questions about: the weather forecast, a businesss phone number, or directions to a house, a restaurant, or an office, which can be easily found on a digital map. 39 And when you answer, they respond with a thank-you e-mail. How to handle these differing standards? Easy: Consider your audience. Some people, especially older ones, appreciate a thank-you message. 40 In traditional societies, the young learn from the old. But in modem societies, the old can also learn from the young. Heres hoping that politeness never goes out of fashion but that time-wasting forms of communication do. A. Then there is voice mail. B. Others, like me, want no reply. C. But people still ask these things. D. Dont these people realize that theyre wasting your time? E. Wont new technology bring about changes in our daily life? F. Face-to-face communication makes comprehension much easier. G. When the telephone was invented, people didnt know how to greet a caller. 第三部分第三部分 英语知识运用英语知识运用 (共两节，满分共两节，满分 45 分分) 第一节第一节 完形填空完形填空 (共共 20 小题小题；每小题每小题 1.5 分分，满分满分 30 分分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 7 Eleven years ago, the world I was familiar with ended.

But the Internet is full of conflicting health warnings with no regulation to get rid of the wrong advice, some of which 63 (be) extremely dangerous! Also, search engines rank results by 64 (popular) rather than accuracy, so solid facts can be quite tricky to find. It is worth 65 (check) if the writer of an online piece is properly qualified as an expert. Anyone can call 66 (he) a “diet expert”, “nutritionist” and even a “doctor” given it could refer to qualifications like a PhD. But remember, only officially 67 (recognize) doctors as well as dietitians have degrees 68 giving practical medical suggestions.

How terrible shy I was the moment when I thought of that. I had no choice but prepare for it, though. First, I drafted the speech, which was easy. But the hardest part lies in my oral presentation. The real moment began as I stood on the platform with my legs trembled and my mind blank. But my listener were waiting patiently. Gradually I found myself back, giving my speech fluently.
