The world is full of beauty in every corner. Here are four world’s top breathtaking and beautiful travelling destinations for you to explore.
Boiling Lake, Dominica
Dominica is known as “nature island” for a reason. This tiny Caribbean state focuses on hot springs and long distance walking in the rainforest rather than playing on the beach. Boiling Lake, in the Morne Trois Pitons National Park, can be reached by mountainous paths, a body of water that is well worth a visit.
Lake Bled, Slovenia
Lake Bled is one of the largest freshwater lakes on the earth. At its center lies a small island, surrounded by deep blue water. It’s no surprise that Lake Bled has developed into one of the hottest destinations in Europe in recent years. Suitable for walking and diving adventures, this is a corner of Slovenia that needs to be explored.
Samburu, Kenya
As a hard-to-reach place in the heart of Kenya, Samburu provides a quiet and safe environment, which is good enough for some of Africa’s most unique wildlife to live in. The rich grassland of its national nature protection area is home to the endangered giraffe, as well as the pioneering Elephant Watch Camp.
Positano, Italy
Located on Italy’s Amalfi Coast, Positano is one of the most beautiful villages in Europe. Famous for its special small gift shops and waterside restaurants, not to mention the Byzantine Church, it makes for the perfect summer getaway. For divers, with its colorful plants and fish, it’s a really perfect place. Make sure to see its full form by taking a boat out from the beach for excellent sunset views.
1．What can tourists do in Dominica
A．Relax themselves at hot springs. B．Enjoy excellent sunset views.
C．Go shopping at the gift shops. D．Walk on the grassland freely.

When my son finally started school around the age of four, I felt as though I’d been promoted to the new position of School Parent. It was an unexpectedly challenging role, one without additional benefits, or a raise for that matter.
As a direct result of starting school, there was the surprisingly unpleasant changes to our schedule. As parents, we were ill-prepared for the troubled time we had trying to get used to the practice of school.
Gone were the carefree days without plans and plenty of time to kill. This included playing imaginary games indoors or hanging around outside whenever the weather turned nice. Getting to school on time meant becoming the ‘hot mess’ mum often seen in movies. I was rushing kids out the door, forgetting lunch boxes and losing car keys.
As a huge morning person, I tried my best to ensure that school mornings remained calm and slow-paced. I prepared as much as possible the night before. But it still felt like we were in a rush, which I really hated.
The trick, I later discovered, was to cover up my feeling of anxiety. I chanted to myself “Do not rush him, no one likes to be rushed” while helping him get through his morning routine and tasks in a timely manner. Whatever frustration (沮丧) I felt about how slow he was moving, I wouldn’t let him know it. I even didn’t allow anyone in our house to say phrases like, “Hurry up, we’re going to be late!” Our common goal, was not just to get our son out the door in time for school, but more importantly prove that mornings can be relaxed and enjoyable, rather than a horrible start to the day.
Of course by the time summer holiday came, our family had grown wise enough. In what felt like the ‘longest shortest time’, we went from anxious and confused, to calm and confident once again. We were far more prepared to have a smoother start to the new school year.
4．What do we know about the author from the first paragraph
A．She liked her new position. B．She got a promotion at work.
C．She made good preparations. D．She had to face the challenge.
5．Which word is similar in meaning to the underlined words “hot mess” in paragraph 3
A．Disorganized. B．Busy. C．Confident. D．Irresponsible.
6．What did the author do when her son was slow in school mornings
A．She sang a song. B．She pushed him hard.
C．She hid her feelings. D．She complained a lot.
7．What is the text mainly about
A．Growth of kids. B．Experience as a school parent.
C．New life in school. D．Advice on lifestyle change.

Australian scientists have successfully tested a new method for freezing and storing coral larvae(珊瑚幼虫), which they say could eventually help restore the wild coral reefs(珊瑚礁) threatened by climate change. They are struggling to protect coral reefs as rising ocean tem peratures damage ecosystems.The Great Barrier Reef has suffered four events of becoming white in the last seven years including the first one during a La Nina phenomenon, which typi-cally brings cooler temperatures.
Frozen coral can be stored and later reintroduced to the wild, but the current process requires some modern equipment including lasers(激光). The scientists say a new lightweight “cryomesh(冷冻网)” can be produced cheaply and better protect coral. In a December lab tri- al,the world’s first with Great Barrier Reef coral, they used the “cryomesh” to freeze coral larvae at the Australian Institute of Marine Sciences(AIMS). “If we can protect the coral, we’ll have tools for the future to really help restore the reefs, and this technology for coral reefs in the future is a real game-changer,” said Mary Hagedorn, Senior Research Scientist at AIMS.
The “cryomesh” was previously tested on smaller and larger kinds of Hawaiian corals. Some trials on the larger kinds failed. But then other trials are continuing with larger varieties of Great Barrier Reef coral. The trials involved scientists from AIMS, the Smithsonian National Zoo and Conservation Biology Institute,the Great Barrier Reef foundation and the Taronga Conservation Society Australia as part of the Reef Restoration and Adaptation Program.
The technology,which will help store coral larvae at - 196 ℃, was invented by a team from the University of Minnesota’s College of Science and Engineering. It was first tested on corals by PhD student Nikolas Zuchowicz. “This new technology that we’ve got will allow us to do that, and it can actually help to support the growing and restoration of wildlife in water,” said Jonathan Daly of the Taronga Conservation Society Australia.
8．What is the new method of restoring the coral reefs
A．Keeping coral larvae warmer.
B．Keeping coral larvae by freezing them.
C．Decreasing the temperatures of the reefs.
D．Controlling the ecosystems around the reefs.
9．What can we learn about the technology in paragraph 2
A．It will be applied in a game.
B．It requires an expensive“cryomesh” .
C．It will be used to make a new“cryomesh” .
D．It requires the support of advanced devices.
10．What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us about the trials
A．The time and place.
B．The range and way.
C．The effect and participants.
D．The equipment and conditions.
11．What is Jonathan Daly’s attitude to the technology
A．Positive, B．Curious. C．Uncertain. D．Unconcerned.
D
While the arts can’t stop the COVID-19 virus or the social unrest we see in the world today, they can give us insight into the choices we make when moving through crises and chaos. The arts invite everyone to think in new ways.
We often experience works of art as something that’s pleasing to our senses without a full understanding of the creative effort. Great art often shows us contradictions and crises, and we can learn a great deal from their resolutions (解决). Through our understanding of art, we can gain a deeper understanding of how we might overcome our own challenges. In understanding extremes of contrast, we can see the beauty in art with themes that are not simply pleasing for their magnificent features or qualities.
Beethoven offers a wonderful example of moving artfully through crises and chaos. He composed his Symphony No.9 as his hearing loss became more and more pronounced. The opening of the symphony seems to come out of nowhere, from near silence in the opening to a full expression of what many consider to be the joy of freedom and universal brotherhood with Schiller’s Ode to joy (欢乐颂). Beethoven appears to have created a work of art that not only freed him from his personal struggles, but one that also speaks to the joy of living together in peace and harmony.
Have a dialogue between the two opposing parts and you will find that they always start out fighting each other until we come to an appreciation of difference—a oneness of the two opposing forces. The arts offer many lessons that can help us gain the knowledge we need to move more confidently in today’s competitive and uncertain environment. An openness to arts-based solutions will give you more control over your future.
12．What value does art have beyond pleasing people’s senses
A．It brings people inner peace. B．It contributes to problem-solving.
C．It reduces the possibility of crises. D．It deepens understanding of music.
13．What can we learn about Beethoven’s Symphony No.9
A．It celebrates freedom and unity. B．It aims to show crises and chaos.
C．It opens with Schiller’s Ode to Joy. D．It is unfinished due to his hearing loss.
14．What is the author’s suggestion on dealing with conflicting forces
A．Leaving things as they are. B．Making a choice between them.
C．Separating them from each other. D．Engaging them in a conversation.
15．Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A．How COVID-19 changes art B．Essentials of Symphony No.9
C．Moving artfully through crises D．Joy in the eyes of Beethoven

That school year God blessed me with two trusted children—Tom and Mary. Whenever I went out for training, programs or personal matters, I left everything to them.
However, the peace was ruined when one day I lost one thousand pesos (比索) in my bag. I always kept my wallet near me. I only chose my trusted students to get near my things. I kept the door of my office closed every time I went for my classes. My spine trembled upon my seeing my money was no longer there. I scanned my wallet, my secret pocket and everything in my room. But all my attempts were in vain.
I was angry. That morning before my class ended, I appealed to everyone to help me catch the “thief”. At 4:00 in the afternoon that day, I reminded them about my warning of returning my money before investigation took place. Then suddenly, a boy called Larry said, “Miss, look at the paper on the floor!”
My heart beat wildly when I saw the crumpled paper which I thought useless. I replied to them immediately upon holding the paper. “Yes, here it is!” I showed it to them. They urged me to open the paper. I opened it and to my surprise, I saw the one thousand pesos! I felt relieved. Then, a letter appeared among the banknotes.
“Miss, I am sorry that I stole the money. I returned it. Do not tell my classmates that I returned the money and do not mention anything about it in class, because it hurts me. Thank you, Miss. But I can’t tell you why I stole your money.”
Oh my God! My brain flashed the handwriting of my trusted boy—the “thief”. I was sure this was Tom’s handwriting.

16．上一句中“to express our love to our family and friends.”提到了“要向我们的家人和朋友表达爱意”，而下一句“Here are several ways to show love to strangers.”又开始介绍向陌生人表达爱意的方法，所以空处应该为表达转折关系的句子，选项G中“But”衔接合理；同时，选项G中的“show love to others we don't know”与下一句的“show love to strangers”意思一致，句意衔接合理。故选G。

Give praise to people you come across, pay for a stranger’s meal or even tell a small joke to make a person laugh.”（每天努力让别人微笑，赞美你遇到的人，为陌生人的一餐买单，甚至讲个小笑话逗别人笑。）可知，空处前主要列举了一些可以使他人开心、微笑的行为，选项F中的“All of these”与其对应，衔接合理；并且选项F指出“所有这些可能正是他们度过艰难的一天所需要的。”，表明让他人开心可能会帮助他们度过难关，符合现实，语境合理。故选F。
20．下一句“They may need some words of encouragement. ”指出“他们可能需要一些鼓励的话语”，选项E中提到了“我们在公共场合都遇到过运气不佳的人。”，这些人应该是需要人们的鼓励的，所以选项E与下一句句意衔接合理，符合语境。故选E。

【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍中国汉字的发展历史。
36．考查介词。句意：中国以其古老的文明而闻名，它一直延续到现代，尽管它的历史上有很多起伏。分析句子结构和意思可知，句子上下文是转折关系，用介词despite引导让步状语，表示“尽管”的意思。故填despite。
37．考查定语从句。句意：有很多原因，这是可能的，但其中一个主要因素是中国的书写系统。分析句子结构和意思可知，“____2____ this has been possible”是定语从句，先行词reasons在从句中作原因状语，用关系副词why引导。故填why。
38．考查名词的数。句意：见第2题详解。分析句子结构和意思可知，one of +名词复数，意为“……之一”，所以空格处需要名词复数形式。故填factors。
39．考查谓语动词。句意：到了商朝（约公元前1600年至1046年），这些符号已经成为了一个发达的书写系统。分析句子结构和意思可知，句子有By the Shang Dynasty作时间状语，指过去的时间点之前发生的事情，所以谓语用过去完成时。故填had become。
40．考查副词。句意：多年来，这一系统发展成了不同的形式，因为当时人们在地理上处于分裂状态，导致了许多不同的方言和文字。分析句子结构和意思可知，这里需要副词修饰谓语动词were divided。故填geographically。

42．考查谓语动词。句意：秦始皇将七个主要国家统一为一个统一的国家，中国的书写系统开始朝着一个方向发展。分析句子结构和意思可知，这句话描述的是过去的事情，所以谓语用一般过去时。故填began。

44．考查非谓语动词。句意：今天，汉字书写系统被视为一种艺术形式，被称为中国书法，也是中国文化的重要组成部分。分析句子结构和意思可知，动词know和被修饰的名词an art form是逻辑上的动宾关系，要用过去分词形式，作后置定语。故填known。

47．The next day, I called Tom to my office. The boy admitted that he was the thief and asked for my forgiveness. I asked him the reason. He said Mary’s mother was in hospital and Mary’s family didn’t have enough money to pay for the treatment. I said in earnest: “Tom, I’m quite touched by your golden heart, but taking money without permission is not a proper way to solve the problem.” Tom lowered his head in shame. “Come on! Let’s visit Mary’s mother and see what we can do for her.”
We went to the hospital and saw Mary’s mother. Mary’s mother was surprised to see us, but soon she collected herself and showed her great gratitude for us visiting her. Thinking of sensible Mary and kind-hearted Tom, I chose not to tell her the incident, comforted her and left the 1000 pesos and some more for her. On our way back, Tom hugged me tightly, tears in his eyes. Later Tom became a better person. Under proper guidance, a boy with a warm heart can shine more brightly.
