• 1．There are about 100 beaches around the Sydney Harbor and along the coast.If you find it hard to pick the best destination，here are four waiting for you.
     Freshwater Beach
     Freshwater Beach is the location where surfing was first introduced to Australia in 1915.The beach is only 350 meters long and is a popular destination for surfers.The beach is protected and therefore provides a quiet swimming experience away from the hustle and bustle of its busy neighboring beaches.
     Bondi Beach
     Bondi Beach，Australia's most famous beach，is more than 100 meters wide and over 3 kilometers long，which allows plenty of space for the large number of tourists and locals.On a sunny day every grain of sand is covered with bodies，with crowds pouring into nearby bars and cafes.Parking near the beach is impossible.It's also the perfect spot to see a sunset and the scene of family parties during summer.
     Clovelly Beach
     As one of the best options for surfing and exploring what hides beneath the water's surface，Clovelly，noted for its unique narrow bay between two rocky ridges，is a popular destination for swimmers.It's a good base where you can check out diving routes through the waters，or take a coastal walk to Bondi.
     Palm Beach
     It's the scene of the long-running Home and Away TV series and endless celebrity spotting.A salt water lake affords great views，typical of beaches on the north side of the harbor.On a nice day，Palm Beach is a postcard-perfect sand destination.
  
  （1）What do Freshwater Beach and Clovelly Beach have in common？

  
  A．They both have free training services.
  B．They are both suitable for swimming.
  C．They are both the birthplaces of surfing.
  D．They both provide underwater exploration.
  （2）What can tourists do at Bondi Beach？

  
  A．Have a sunbathing.
  B．Hold a live concert.
  C．Park their cars at will.
  D．Enjoy a sunrise watching.
  （3）Where are you most likely to see TV show shooting？

  
  A．Freshwater Beach.
  B．Bondi Beach.
  C．Clovelly Beach.
  D．Palm Beach.

• 2．We journalists live in a new age of storytelling，with many new multimedia tools.Many young people don't even realize it's new.For them，it's just normal.
     This hit home for me as I was sitting with my 2-year-old grandson on a sofa over the Spring Festival holiday.I had brought a children's book to read.It had simple words and colorful pictures- a perfect match for his age.
     Picture this：my grandson sitting on my lap as I hold the book in front so he can see the pictures.As I read，he reaches out and pokes（戳）the page with his finger.
     What's up with that？He just likes the pictures，I thought.Then I turned the page and continued.He poked the page even harder.I nearly dropped the book.I was confused：Is there something wrong with this kid？
     Then I realized what was happening.He was actually a stranger to books.His father frequently amused the boy with a tablet computer which was loaded with colorful pictures that come alive when you poke them.He thought my storybook was like that.
     Sorry，kid.This book is not part of your high-tech world.It's an outdated，lifeless thing.An antique，like your grandfather.Well，I may be old，but I'm not hopelessly challenged，digitally speaking.I edit video and produce audio.I use mobile payment.I've even built websites.
     There's one notable gap in my new-media experience，however：I've spent little time in front of a camera，since I have a face made for radio.But that didn't stop China Daily from asking me last week to share a personal story for a video project about the integration of Beijing，Tianjin and Hebei province.
     Anyway，grandpa is now an internet star- two minutes of fame!I promise not to let it go to my head.But I will make sure my 2-year-old grandson sees it on his tablet.
  
  （1）What do the underlined words "hit home for me" mean in paragraph 2？

  
  A．Provided shelter for me.
  B．Became very clear to me.
  C．Took the pressure off me.
  D．Worked quite well on me.
  （2）Why did the kid poke the storybook？

  
  A．He took it for a tablet computer.
  B．He disliked the colorful pictures.
  C．He was angry with his grandpa.
  D．He wanted to read it by himself.
  （3）What does the author think of himself？

  
  A．Socially ambitious.
  B．Physically attractive.

• 3．The rechargeable lithium-ion （鋰離子）battery market is worth more than ＄50 billion.Lithium-ion batteries，whose demand continues to go up day by day，are used in a wide range of electronic devices.They are made of four main components，and cathode （陰極） is one of them.The cathode's active material type is what determines the capacity of a battery.
     A recent study，led by Wang Yan，a material scientist of Worcester Polytechnic Institute，finds that lithium-ion batteries made with recycled cathodes work better than those with new cathodes.
     "The battery industry is expected to grow sharply in the next decade.This high demand has led companies to go to extremes，like increasing deep-sea mining，to gain access to the minerals used in lithium-ion batteries，" Wang said. "Mining minerals will have environmental impacts.Recycling spent lithium-ion batteries offers a way out. "
     But until now，the prospect of using recycled materials in lithium-ion batteries has some manufacturers（制造商）worrying that it could impact performance.Thus，lithium-ion batteries are still not widely recycled.Aware of decreasing resources and environmental impact，Wang and other researchers set out to find a way to make recycling lithium-ion batteries economically practical.Through experiments，they could recover more than 90% of the key metals from spent batteries.These recovered metals became the basis of the new recycled battery's cathode's active material.
     In tests between Wang's team's recycled batteries and brand-new batteries of the same composition，the recycled batteries outperform the new ones in their ability to maintain capacity.It took 11，600 charge cycles for recycled cathode batteries to lose 30 percent of their original capacity.That was about 50 percent better than the 7，600 observed cycles for new cathode batteries，the team reported.Those thousands of extra cycles could translate into years of better battery performance，even after repeated use and recharging.
  
  （1）What can we learn about lithium-ion batteries from the first paragraph？

  
  A．They are high in price.
  B．They are in great demand.
  C．They are limited in use.
  D．They are simple in composition.
  （2）What does Wang mainly talk about in paragraph 3？

  
  A．The target users of recycled batteries.
  B．The ways to get minerals for batteries.
  C．The major reasons for recycling batteries.
  D．The complex process of recycling batteries.
  （3）What are the manufacturers concerned about？

  
  A．Declining mineral resources.
  B．Difficult recycling techniques.
  C．Serious environmental problems.
  D．Inefficient battery performance.
  （4）Which of the following details best supports the main idea of the text？

  
  A．The battery industry is going to develop dramatically.
  B．Recycling batteries reduces impact on the environment.
  C．Scientists can recover key materials from spent batteries.
  D．Recycled batteries outperform new ones in charging circles.

• 4．There is hot，and then there is hot!Extreme heat is a period of high heat and humidity with temperatures above 90 degrees Fahrenheit for at least two to three days.Extreme heat is responsible for the highest number of annual deaths among all weather- related hazards（危害）.
     It's not your imagination.Summers have been getting hotter and hotter with extreme heatwaves occurring earlier and more frequently.But why is this happening and can we better predict heatwaves in advance to give people time to prepare？
     "Climate change is here and it's already been changing human behavior and causing significant influence in the society.As global temperatures rise，historically excessive（過高的） temperatures are more likely to occur."says Craig Ramseyer，an assistant professor who studies climate modeling in the department of geography at Virginia Tech.
     Ramseyer says heatwaves are the most concerning because of the lack of attention they normally receive. " Hurricanes，tornadoes，and flash floods drive more media attention because of the natural attraction with the visual impact of those types of hazards.However，heat does not tend to be as attractive and it becomes very difficult to communicate the danger to the public，" said Ramseyer."Around the world，more deaths occur due to extreme heat than from hurricanes，flooding，and drought combined.It impacts the most helpless of our citizens who do
  not have enough access to air conditioning，water，and other important resources.
     Since the Earth is running warmer than it used to，Ramseyer says that when these heatwave-related weather patterns take place，it results in higher extreme temperatures than we used to experience 30 years ago.
     "As a global community，we need to decrease carbon emissions as soon as possible.We have rapidly developing technologies that are going to help advance the process，but the faster the better，there is no time to waste."
  
  （1）What can we learn from the article？

  
  A．Extreme heat is a No.1 death cause.
  B．People are suffering more extreme heat.
  C．A 100-degree heat is an extreme heat.
  D．Extreme heat is getting better over the years.
  （2）What will Ramseyer possibly agree with？

  
  A．Climate change will soon affect human behaviors.
  B．High temperatures happened frequently in history.
  C．Air conditioning and water can stop the extreme heat.
  D．Garbage sorting can less advance the climate change.
  （3）Why is extreme heat lack of attention？

  
  A．Extreme heat can be stopped by technology.
  B．People have enough time to solve the climate problems.
  C．The danger of extreme heat is not easily transferred to the public.
  D．Heatwave-related weather patterns will decrease in the future.
  （4）What's the article mainly about？

  
  A．Complaints about extreme heat.
  B．Prevention of extreme heat.
  C．Characters of extreme heat.
  D．Technologies behind extreme heat.

• 5．Leonardo da Vinci is often thought of mainly as an artist，with world-famous works like The Last Supper and the Mona Lisa．（1）

  But his notebooks，filled with his strange writing，show that his main interests were in engineering and technology．
     （2）

  If his pioneering work on anatomy （解剖學(xué)） is also taken into consideration，it is not hard to see why Leonardo is considered to be one of the greatest geniuses （天才） of all time．
     Born in 1452 to a Florentine lawyer and a local village girl，Leonardo was given only a very basic education．After ten years in the workshop of the artist Verrocchio，he began to work for himself．The work he did shows an unbelievable combination of technical skill and very careful observation． （3）

  
     At the age of thirty，he left his hometown and moved to Milan，where he spent seventeen years working for the Duke of Milan．（4）

  In fact，his painting was increasingly influenced by his interest in mathematics．During this period，he painted The Last Supper and developed his ideas for chemical weapons （化學(xué)武器）．
      In 1506 he returned to Milan and became increasingly interested in science． （5）

  He also studied many other animals，comparing their bodies to the human body．From then on，Leonardo spent the rest of his life mainly on his scientific studies．
  
  A．Before long，he returned to his painting．
  B．Of course，his place in art history is certain．
  C．It also shows his great interest in technology．
  D．The notebooks are full of drawings for all kinds of inventions．
  E．He began to study human bodies and the movement of the blood．
  F．Here he continued to combine his scientific work with his painting．
  G．It was a good chance to make some money with his new inventions．

• 19．Be a true runner For me，it was normal to feel lost at the inter-camp track.Four camps of kids were ready to lead their teams to a blue ribbon and win the day.Not me.I was too little to be the leader and too skinny to be an athlete.I knew this by the time I was twelve，because my camp counselors（輔導(dǎo)員）and the other kids reminded me of it every chance they got.So when our camp needed a fourth runner in the two-mile race around the lake，I knew I was no one's first choice.
      I hid in the shade of a maple tree as they called the names of the runners，my body tensed as I heard a counselor call， "Fred!Where is Fred!He is in this race!" It was Barry.He spotted me under the tree. "Fred!We need a 12-year-old who hasn't been in other events to run the two-mile!"
      He gave me a push towards the starting line.Having no confidence and trying to save myself from the shame of taking the last place as four camps watched，I pleaded with him.
      "But I don't know the way around the lake!"
      "You're in.Just follow Bill!" Barry smiled.
      Bill was my friend and the fastest runner in our camp.And then Barry said， "When you make it to the last stretch（最后一程）on the field，just throw your head back and run."
      At the starting line，I stood next to Bill and trembled.
      "On your mark…Get set..." The gun cracked and sixteen of us took off.I stayed close on Bill's heels，a little too close for Bill，I guess.He shouted at me， "Back off!"
      I did.Two guys passed me，but I kept my eyes on Bill.
      It was tiring.The distance was widening between Bill and me.We made the turn from the dusty road onto
  the muddy，wooded trail that would go around the lake back to the field.Through the trees，I saw Bill trip over a tree root and fall.A runner from another camp passed him.
