　　Only three local students won Chinese Blog (博客) Competition. And 15 of the 18 awards went to students from China.

　　170 students’ task:　to get a fully-designed blog up and running, complete with many postings based on a theme of choice—all written in Chinese.

　　Themes ranged from local opinions—such as the usage of Singlish, education and whether Singapore can be a cultural centre—to food blogs.

　　The entries were judged on language proficiency (熟练程度) and the quality of writing, as well as the design and level of exchanging ideas with readers.

　　Academics from the National University of Singapore and the SIM University, IT experts, and a journalist from Chinese newspaper Lianhe Zaobao in Singapore made up the judges.

　　In the end, only three Singaporean students made it to the award list—the rest of the awards were swept up by students from China.

　　"No surprise,” said Mr. Chow Yaw Long, 37, teacher-in-charge from Innova Junior College, which organized the event. “Although the topics were local subjects, the foreign students were generally better in terms of the content of the posts and their grasp of the Chinese language.”

　　One of the three local students winning the first prize in the Best Language Award was blogger Christina Gao, 19, from the Saint Andrew’s Junior College, who spared no effort in researching for and writing her blog. Each entry took her between five and seven days to produce, complete with pictures and even podcasts (播客).

　　阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

　　In a cab, a woman seemed in such a hurry．She constantly rushed the cab driver to drive quickly．She was so absorbed in her own thoughts of getting to the airport as soon as possible that she was not aware they were going by a different route.

　　All of a sudden, a young man got inside the cab．He took her handbag in which she had put her visa, passport, and all the money for the trip.

　　The cab driver, who was in collusion with the robber, left her in the exactly middle of a dark street．She thought that she was rather unfortunate in the very situation.

　　During the very night, she was told a piece of shocking news．Tears came down her cheek．Flight 360, the plane that she should have got on board, had crashed．Had she not lost her important belongings, she could surely have lost the thing far more precious——her life.

　　Sometimes bad things really happen．There are times when nothing seems to go our way．So what should we do about it? We must get rid of all these frustrations and start all over again in the faith that we will get what we deserve．

　　Don’t waste your time and energy on things that can’t be changed．Continuous worrying will only affect your health and you’ll be doing much more damage than what was previously done.

　　What if it was the other way round? What if we never ran out of good luck?

　　There was a man who won the lottery．He became greedy and wasted all his money on everything he could get his hands on.

　　But when he one day made it to the front page of the newspaper again, it was a different story．He had been killed because of his riches．If you attain good luck, you can never be too secure about it．Life is so unpredictable．You never know what will happen next.

　　Live one day at a time．We sometimes subject ourselves to unnecessary emotional trouble．But please don’t forget: sometimes misfortune can be the source of happiness．Live for the moment．Do what must be done for the present and the future will turn out just fine．Believe me．And believe in yourself．As Captain Planet always says, “The power is yours！”

　　2016高考模拟题。阅读理解阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。millions of years. But volcanic rock samples taken from the canyon now suggest that the canyon was down-cut instead.

　　Down-cutting is when a flood of water rushes over a landscape (地形) with enough force to cut deeply into the ground and leaves behind a canyon. Such a flood is usually released when a natural or man-made dam (堤坝) bursts.

　　Robert Webb, a research geologist, says natural dams seem to have formed and broken across the Colorado River several times during the last million years. The dams were built when lava(熔岩) from the eruptions of nearby volcanoes flowed into the river. The lava hardened into hard rocks and blocked the river, causing it to back up and form a lake. Each time the lake grew so huge that it broke the rock dam, releasing a flash flood that furthered the down-cutting process and deepened the canyon.

　　Down-cutting is not just an earthly event. Satellite photos sent back from Mars suggest that the process has happened there, too, say many other researchers.

　　The photos, taken by the Mars Global Surveyor, indicate that an enormous lake existed on Mars 3.5 billion years ago. The lake spilled into a large nearby hole. One edge of the hole broke, releasing a flash flood that quickly carved out a grand canyon.

　　The existence of down-cutting on Mars is just one more piece of evidence that the cold, dry planet was once warm and wet.

　　1. In the past, deep canyons were believed to have formed _______.

　　A. as a result of a sudden break of volcanoes

　　B. due to river flows over millions of years

　　C. owing to the burst of artificial dams

　　D. thanks to our ancestors’ creative work

　　2. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TURE?

　　A. Several volcanoes broke out on Mars directly creating grand canyons.

　　B. Several great lakes existed on the upper parts of the Colorado River.

　　C. People built high dams on the upper parts of the Colorado River.

　　D. The Colorado River crossed the Grand Canyon to form down-cutting.

　　3. From the last three paragraphs we learn that _______.

　　A. there are great lakes on Mars

　　B. there are active volcanoes on Mars

　　C. there might be cities on Mars

　　D. there might be life on Mars

　　4. The passage can be titled as _______.

　　A. Lakes on Earth and Mars

　　B. The Cause of Lake Formation

　　C. The Force of Dam Breaking

　　D. Canyons—Results of Flood Cutting
