  There are many places to go on safari(观赏野生动物)in Africa, but riding a horse through the flooded waters of Botswana's Okavango Delta must rank as one of the world's most exciting wildlife journeys.

  Several safari camps operate as the base for this adventure, providing unique rides twice a day to explore deep into the delta. The camps have excellent horses, professional guides and lots of support workers. They have a reputation for providing a great riding experience.

  The morning ride, when the guides take you to beautiful, shallow lakes full of water lilies, tends to be more active. It is unlike any other riding experience. With rainbows forming in the splashing water around you and the sound of huge drops of water bouncing off your body and face. It is truly exciting. You are very likely to come across large wild animals, too. On horseback it is possible to get quite close to elephants, giraffes and many other animals. The sense of excitement and tension levels rise suddenly though, as does your heart rate, as you move closer to them.

  In the evening, rides are usually at a more relaxed and unhurried pace. With golden light streaming across the grassy delta and the animals coming out to eat and drink. Sedate though they are, rides at this time of day are still very impressive. As the sun's rays pass through the dust kicked up by the horses, the romance of Africa comes to life.

  Back at the camp you can kick off your boots and enjoy excellent food and wine. Looking back on your day, you will find it hard to deny that a horseback Safari is as close as you will ever come to answering the call of the wild.

  48. What does the underlined word "They" refer to?

  A. Flooded waters

  B. Wildlife journey

  C. Safari camps

  D. Unique rides

  49. What does the author find most exciting about a horse safari?

  A. Seeing and feeling the real African life.

  B. Enjoying good food and wine at the camp.

  C. Hunting large animals just as our ancestors did.

  D. Being part of the scene and getting close to animals.

  50. What does the underlined word "sedate" probably mean?

  A. Wild and romantic

  B. Slow and peaceful

  C. Hurry and thirsty

  D. Active and excited

  51. The author introduced the riding experience in the OKavango Delta mainly by________.

  A. Following space order

  B. Following time order

  C. Making classifications

  D. Giving examples

  The Curse of the Were-Rabbit(2005) is the first full-length feature film made by directors Nick Park and Steve Box with their amazing plasticine(粘土) characters Wallace and Gromit. It won an Oscar in 2006, and if you watch it, you’ll understand why. It’s an absolutely brilliant cartoon comedy.

  Cheese-loving inventor Wallace and his brainy dog Gromit have started a company to protect the town’s vegetables from hungry rabbits. However, just before the annual Giant Vegetable Competition, an enormous rabbit begins terrorising the town. It is attacking all the vegetables and destroying everything in its path. The competition organizer, Lady Tottington, hires Wallace and Gromit to catch the monster alive. But they will have to find the were-rabbit before gun-crazy hunter Victor Quartermaine who is desperate to kill it.

  The screenplay is witty and full of amusing visual jokes. As usual, the voice of Peter Sallis is absolutely perfect for the role of Wallace, and Gromit is so beautifully brought to life, he can express a huge range of emotions without saying a word. And both Helena Bonham-Carter, who plays the part of Lady Tottington, and Ralph Fiennes as Victor are really funny.

  To sum up, The Curse of the Were-Rabbit is an amazing film which is suitable for both children and adults. If you liked Wallace and Gromit’s previous adventures and you appreciate the British sense of humour, you’ll love this film. Don’t miss it!

  70. In the film review, what is paragraph A mainly about?

  A. The introduction to the leading roles

  B. The writer’s opinion of acting

  【2017·浙江卷】B

  Here is some must-know information from a handbook on how people behave in doing business in some countries.

  In Brazil

  Brazilians are warm and friendly. They often stand close when talking and it is common for them to touch the person on the shoulder. People often greet each other (particularly women) with light cheek kisses. Schedules tend to be flexible, with business meetings sometimes starting later than planned. But to be safe, be on time. Meals can stretch for hours—there’s no such thing as rushing a meal in Brazil. Lunches also can start in the mid to late afternoon. Brazilians are social, preferring face-to-face communication over mails or phone calls.

  In Singapore

  Singaporeans shake hands when they meet and often also greet each other with a small, polite bow. Business cards should be offered and received with two hands. Arriving late is considered disrespectful. So be on time. Efficiency(效率) is the goal, so meetings and dealings often are fast-paced. Singaporeans are direct in their discussions, even when the subject is about money. Rank is important and authority is respected. This determines both people interact in meetings. For example, people avoid disagreeing outright with someone with a higher rank.

  In the United Arab Emirates

  In the UAE, status is important, so the most senior or oldest should be greeted first with their titles. The handshake seems to be longer than elsewhere. So, do not pull away the handshake. Women should cover themselves when it comes to dress. Men also tend to be covered from neck to elbows(肘部) and down to the knees. People do not avoid entertaining in their homes, but they also hold business meals at restaurants. Touching or passing food or eating with your left hand is to be avoided. When meetings are one-to-one, if your host offers you coffee, you should refuse. It might seem odd, but it is a cultural tradition. Coffee should only be accepted if it is always set out or presented.

  In Switzerland

  The Swiss tend to be formal and address each other by last name. They also are respectful of private lives. You should be careful not to ask about personal topics. Punctuality (守时) is vital, something that comes from a deep respect for others’ time. Arrive at any meeting or event a few minutes early to be safe. They also have clear structure in their companies. Higher-ups make the final decisions, even if others might disagree. Neat, clean dress is expected. The Swiss follow formal table manners. They also keep their hands visible at the table and their elbows off the table. It is polite to finish the food on your plate.

  The passage is mainly about ________.

     A. communication types                      

  B. the workplace atmosphere

     C. customs and social manners                 D. living conditions and standards

  Why do Singaporeans avoid arguing with their boss?

     A. They put efficiency in the first place.

     B. They dislike face-to-face communication.

     C. They want to finish meetings as quickly as possible.

     D. They are supposed to obey the person of a higher rank.

  In the UAE, when should you refuse the coffee if it is offered?

     A. When greeting seniors.                    

  B. When meeting the host alone.

     C. When attending a presentation.              

  D.When dining with business partners.

  . In which country do people care about where to put their hands at the dinner table?

     A. In Brazil.                               

  B. In Singapore.

     C. In the United Arab Emirate.                  D. In Switzerland.

  BLOOD DRIVE & MARROW(骨髓)REGISTRATION

  “These patients deserve a chance at a normal, happy future and they rely on the kindness of the strangers to make that happen.

  — Daisy, Isabelle’s Mother

  Isabelle is the daughter of Daisy and Saman Mirzaei. In January 2008 Isabelle was diagnosed(诊断)with a genetic blood disorder,beta thalassemia. Isabelle’s body

  is unable to produce healthy red blood cells. As a result, Isabelle has been receiving blood transfusions (输血) every 4-6weeks since she was 11 months old. A lifetime of regular transfusions can lead to serious medical problems. Her only chance at a normal, healthy life is to have a marrow transplant.

  Isabelle is an only child, so doctors have started a search for an unrelated marrow donor through The Match Registry. The Mirzaei family asks that you consider helping patients like Isabelle by registering to be a marrow donor and give the gift of life, the gift of blood.

  Never before had a kitchen

  so much of a history

  It tells of Freedom, Success, and of the Architecture of big American cities. Because that is where it started: in the second half of the 19th century!

  Welcome to a new Era of Kitchen Interior Design

  Back then, a Generation of successful American Entrepreneurs dreamt of a new style of Architecture to express their personal wealth. This dream was realized by young architects such as Daniel Burnham and Stanford White. They all had studied at the E'cole des Beaux­Arts in Paris. And they created a new style for Architecture and Interior Design, named after the famous French Art Institute: Beaux­Arts.t a new style at all, but a composition of styles from different periods and cultures. Many world­famous structures such as the Chicago Art Institute and the Statue of Liberty account for it. But what does that have to do with your kitchen? Just as much as you want it to. Because in the same way that the anti­conventional architects back then took the freedom to combine elements from different historical eras, today, you too can break the conventional rules of style and create something new: your own personal composition of your kitchen. For that, SieMatic Beaux­Arts offers unique opportunities: A broad range of seemingly conflicting features that you combine to a harmonious design of your own. You can choose from menu of various forms, appealing colours, and precious materials, to create an environment that is much more than just a kitchen: a reflection of your personality.

  Why did the BeauxArts style attract American entrepreneurs?

  A. It helped display their money status. B. It was created by famous architects.

  C. It was named after a famous institute. D. It represented the 19th century urban culture.

  What is unique of SieMatic BeauxArts?

  A. Its designs are anti-conventional.

  B. Its designs come from famous structures.

  C. Its customers can enjoy their own composition.

  D. Its customers can choose from various new styles.

  I’ll never lose weight --- I come from a fat family

  Wrong! While we can’t change the body type we are born with, we can’t blame our genes for making us fat. There’s plenty of evidence that fatness runs in families, and the main reason is that they share the same habits of eating too much and exercise too little.

  I am fat because I burn calories slowly

  Wrong! Fatness is not caused by a slow metabolism(新陈代谢). If fact, although fat people consume more energy that slim people, they also fail to realize how much they eat! Keeping a diary can help you work out your daily food intake more accurately.

  Exercise is boring

  Wrong! Anything will become boring if you do it repetitively. The key is to develop a balanced and varied program that’s fun as well as progressive. If you enjoy a Sunday walk, take a different route. If you do Yoga, try a tai chi class. If you like swimming, set yourself a distance or time challenge.

  No pain, no gain

  Wrong! Exercise is not meant to hurt. Indeed, pain is your body telling you something’s wrong, and continuing to exercise could lead to serious injury. You may experience mild discomfort as you begin to exercise regularly, but this your body adapting to the positive changes in your lifestyle and the aches should disappear relatively quickly. If you don’t, rest and seek medical advice.

  . What does the author think about being fat?

  We all know that the cost of heating our homes will continue to be a significant burden on the family budget. Now millions of people are saving on their heating bills with the EP portable heater. With over one million satisfied customers around the world, the new EP heats better and faster, saves more on heating bills, and runs almost silent.

  The EP has no exposed heating parts that can cause a fire. The outside of the EP only gets warm to the touch so that it will not burn children or pets.

  The EP will not reduce oxygen in the room. With other heaters, you'll notice that you get sleepy when the heat comes on because they are burning up oxygen.

  The advanced EP also heats the room evenly,_wall to wall and floor to ceiling. It comfortably covers an area up to 350 square feet. Other heaters heat rooms unevenly with most of the heat concentrated to the center of the room. And they only heat an area a few feet around the heater. With the EP, the temperature will not vary in any part of the room.

  The EP comes with a 3-year warranty(保修) and a 60-day, our expense and your money will be given back to you.

  Now we have a special offer for 10 days, during which you can enjoy a half price discount and a free delivery. If you order after that, we reserve the right to either accept or reject order requests at the discounted price.

  Still seeking a destination for your weekend break? There are some places which are probably a mere walk away from your college.

  King's Art Centre

  A day at the Centre could mean a visit to an exhibition of the work of one of the most interesting contemporary artists on show anywhere. This weekend sees the opening of an exhibition of four local artists.

  You could attend a class teaching you how to ‘learn from the masters’ or get more creative with paint — free of charge.

  The Centre also runs two life drawing classes for which there is a small fee.

  The Botanic Garden

  The Garden has over 8,000 plant species; it holds the research and teaching collection of living plants for Cambridge University.

  The multi­branched Torch Aloe here is impressive. The African plant produces red flowers above blue­green leaves, and is not one to miss.

  Get to the display house to see Dionaea muscipula, a plant more commonly known as the Venus Flytrap that feeds on insects and other small animals.

  The Garden is also a place for wildlife­enthusiasts. Look for grass snakes in the lake. A snake called ‘Hissing Sid’ is regularly seen lying in the heat of the warm sun.

  Byron's Pool

  Many stories surround Lord Byron's time as a student of Cambridge University. Arriving in 1805, he wrote a letter complaining that it was a place of “mess and drunkenness”. However, it seems as though Byron did manage to pass the

  time

  pleasantly enough. I'm not just talking about the pet bear he kept in his rooms. He spent a great deal of time walking in the village.

  It is also said that on occasion Byron swam naked by moonlight in the lake, which is now known as Byron’s Pool. A couple of miles past Grantchester in the south Cambridgeshire countryside, the pool is surrounded by beautiful circular paths around the fields. The cries of invisible birds make the trip a lovely experience and on the way home you can drop into the village for afternoon tea. If you don't trust me, then perhaps you'll take it from Virginia Woolf—over a century after Byron, she reportedly took a trip to swim in the same pool.

  61. As mentioned in the passage, there is a small charge for ________.

  A.attending the masters' class

  B.working with local artists

  C.learning life drawing

  D.seeing an exhibition

  62. “Torch Aloe” and “Venus Flytrap” are ________.

  A.common insects

  B.impressive plants

  C.rarely­seen snakes

  D.wildlife­enthusiasts

  63. We can infer from the passage that Byron seemed ________.

  A.to fear pet bears

  B.to like walking

  C.to be a heavy drinker

  D.to finish university in 1805

  64. In the passage Byron's Pool is described as a lake________.

  A.surrounded by fields

  B.owned by Lord Byron

  C.located in Grantchester

  D.discovered by Virginia Woolf

  65. What is the passage mainly about?

  That's…a phone

  With rates as low as $3.75 per week!

  “Well, I finally did it. I finally decided to enter the digital age and get a cell phone. My kids have been annoying me and the last straw was when my car broke down, and I was stuck by the highway for an hour before someone stopped to help. But when I went to the cell phone store, I almost changed my mind. The phones all have cameras, computers and a “global­positioning”something or other that's supposed to spot me from space. Goodness, all I want to do is to be able to talk to my grandkids! The people at the store weren't much help.They couldn't understand why someone wouldn't want a phone the size of a postage stamp. And the rate plans! They were confusing, and expensive…and the contract(合同)lasted for two years! I'd almost given up until a friend told me about her new Jitterbug phone. Now, I have the convenience and safety of being about to stay in touch…with a phone I can actually use.”

  Affordable plans that I can understand—and no contract to sign(签订)! Unlike other cell phones, Jitterbug has plans that make sense. Why should I pay for minutes I'm never going to use? And if I do talk more than I plan, I won't find myself with no minutes like my friend who has a prepaid phone. Best of all, there is no contract to sign—so I'm not locked in for years at a time. The US­based customer service is second to none. And the phone gets service anywhere in the country.

  The Basics of Math—Made Clear

  Basic Math introduces students to the basic concepts of mathematics, as well as the fundamentals of more tricky areas. These 30 fantastic lectures are designed to provide students with an understanding of arithmetic and to prepare them for Algebra(代数)and beyond.

  The lessons in Basic Math cover every basic aspect of arithmetic. They also look into exponents(指数), the order of operations, and square roots. In addition to learning how to perform various mathematical operations, students discover why these operations work, how a particular mathematical topic relates to other branches of mathematics,

  and how these operations can be used practically.

  Basic Math starts from the relatively easier concepts and gradually moves on to the more troublesome ones, so as to allow for steady and sure understanding of the material by students. The lectures offer students the chance to “make sense” of mathematical knowledge that may have seemed so frightening. They also help students prepare for college mathematics and overcome their anxiety about this amazing—and completely understandable—field of study.

  By the conclusion of the course, students will have improved their understanding of basic math. They will be able to clear away the mystery(神秘性) of mathematics and face their studies with more confidence than they ever imagined. In addition, they will strengthen their ability to accept new and exciting mathematical challenges.

  Professor H. Siegel, honored by Kentucky Educational Television as “the best math teacher in America”, is a devoted teacher and has a gift for explaining mathematical concepts in ways that make them seem clear and obvious. From the basic concrete ideas to the more abstract problems, he is a master in making math lectures learner­friendlier and less scary.

  With a PhD in Mathematics Education from Georgia State University, Dr. Siegel teaches mathematics at Central Arizona College. His courses include various make­up classes and a number of lectures for future primary school teachers.

  If the course fails to provide complete satisfaction to you, you can easily exchange it for any other course that we offer. Or you can get your money back.

  56.What does the course Basic Math mainly cover?

  A.Algebra.

  B.College Mathematics.

  C.Arithmetic.

  D.Mathematics Education.

  57.What benefits can students expect from Basic Math?

  A.Stronger imaginative ability.

  B.Additional presentation skills.

  C.More mathematical confidence.

  D.Greater chances of becoming teachers.

  58.What can we learn about Professor H.Siegel?

  A.He is a guest lecturer at Kentucky Educational Television.

  B.He is to deliver 30 lectures in Basic Math.

  Top lists are lecturing people on everything from “100 places to visit” to “100 books to read”. Aren't you just tired of being told what to do with your time?

  Now you have a list to end all lists!

  Take a look at the following two examples from the list of “101 things not to do”:

  Swim with Dolphins(海豚)?

  Swimming with dolphins is one of the world's most profitable tourist activities.However, not every dolphin will welcome having their busy, tiring day interrupted by tourists screaming and pushing around them in the water. Worse yet,

  when dolphins get too near to the boats loaded with tourists, they could get caught up in ropes and killed by propellers(螺旋桨).

  Here's a little secret. Dolphins look like smiling at you, but actually they're just opening their mouths.

  Go to See the Mona Lisa?

  There must be something about the mysterious(神秘的) smile. The 6 million people who visit the lady in the Louvre every year can't all be wrong, after all. But they can be quite annoying, standing in front of you; holding up their cameras to prevent you from seeing anything. In fact, it is hard for you to see the painting clearly because you have to stay away from it for security reasons. After queuing for hours, many tourists can remain in front of the painting only for 15 seconds at most.

  If the mysterious lady in the picture knew her fate, she wouldn't just be smiling, she'd be laughing.

  So, still long to see the Mona Lisa? If you want to find out more about the list, read 101 Things NOT to Do Before You Die. Visit www.not2dobeforeidie.co.uk and buy the book at a 20% discount.

  A Book Review — The Snake­Stone

  by Berlie Doherty

  The setting: Urban England (the cities), but also rural England (the countryside) including remote English villages.

  The theme: The main theme is a teenage search of self­discovery, in this case the search for a mother from whom the hero was separated at an early age. Its other concerns are love, getting on with others ,being persistent and courageous and trying to deal with doubts, troubles and worries. As the book moves to a close, James' swimming coach says to him: ‘You are not like a kid obeying instructions any more. You are diving like a young man who knows where he is going.’

  The characters: James is the hero of the story. He is a championship diver, and has a comfortable life with his foster parents(养父母).Yet he also has the qualities to take him on a long journey to find his birth mother. The other characters in The Snake­Stone, James' parents, his diving instructor, best friend, the villagers, people he meets on his journey, are pictured realistically.

  The turning point:The turning point in the story comes while James' foster parents are away in London, and he wonders about the identity of his birth mother. The only clue he has is a fossil, ‘the snake stone’ which she left behind along with a note on which she had written,‘Take good care of Sammie.’ It was written on a torn envelope with parts of an address still there.

  The journey:Instead of going to London, James decides to find his birth mother. With help from his geography teacher, James sets out for the remote country village where his mother might be found. James has painful, challenging, but also humorous and happy travels. The mother he finally meets, Anne, has a minor yet powerful voice in the novel. He comes to understand why she left him at a stranger's door fifteen years before. Although the meeting is not long, it leaves him with a feeling of completeness.

Working in a similar way to Green Maps, Maps Mashups allows people to add icons of their own to existing maps to express a certain topic.

It ranges from the extremely useful, such as where all the World Heritage Site are, to the most bizarre (古怪的,such as where America’s unkest cities are.

  Passage 1

  The Information Highway is the road that links computer users to a large number of on-line services: the Web, e-mail, and software, to mention just a few. Not long ago, the Information Highway was a new road, with not many users. Now, everyone seems to want to take a drive, with over 30 million families connected worldwide. Not surprisingly, this well-traveled highway is starting to look like a well-traveled highway. Traffic jams can cause many serious problems, forcing the system to close down for repair. Naturally, accidents will happen on such a crowed road, and usually victims are some files, gone forever. Then, of course, there’s Mr. Cool, with his new broad-band connection, who speeds down the highway faster than most of us can go. But don’t trick yourself; he pays for that speeding.

  Passage 2

  Want to know more about global warming and how you can help prevent it? Doctor Herman Friedman, who is considered a leading expert on the subject, will speak at Grayson Hall next Friday. Friedman studied environmental science at three well-known universities around the world before becoming a professor in the subject. He has also traveled around the world observing environmental concerns. The gradual bleaching (变白) of the Great Barrier Reef, which came into the public eye in 2002, is his latest interest. Signed copies of his colorful book, which was published just last month, will be on sale after his talk.

  Exploit your parking space

  An unused parking space or garage can make money. If you live near a city center or an airport, you could make anything up to £200 or £300 a week. Put an advertisement(广告)for free on Letpark or Atmyhousepark.

  Rent(出租)a room

  Spare room? Not only will a lodger(房客)earn you an income, but also, thanks to the government-backed “rent a room” program, you won’t have to pay any tax on the first £4500 you make per year. Try advertising your room on Roomspare or Roommate easy.

  Make money during special events

  Don’t want a full-time lodger? Then rent on a short-term basis. If you live in the capital, renting a room out during the Olympics or other big events could bring in money, Grashpadder can advertise your space.

  Live on set

  Renting your home out as a “film set” could earn you hundreds of pounds a day, depending on the film production company and how long your home is needed. A quick search on the Internet will bring up dozens of online companies that allow you to register your home for free—but you will be charged if your home gets picked.

  Use your roof

  You need the right kind of roof, but some energy companies pay the cost of fixing

  solar equipment(around£14,000), and let you use the energy produced for nothing. In return, they get paid for unused energy fed back into the National Grid. However, you have to sign a 25-year agreement with the supplier, which could prevent you from changing the roof.
