A
Here are some great beach spots for your family to have some fun together.
High Bar Harbor, New Jersey
It sits on Long Beach Island, one of the most popular Jersey shores. But watch the water when the tide comes in, you may not be able to leave until the tide goes.
How to Get There: Take Long Beach Blvd. north into the town of Barnegat Light and turn left on 20th St., a.k.a. Auburn Road. Go a 1/3 of a mile, and then bear right at the Y-shaped intersection (交叉点)onto Sunset Blvd. Take it to the end. You’ll see a footpath to the beach.[:.]
Caladesi Beach, Florida
To be honest, you’ll hardly be alone here. Caladesi Island State Park is home to hundreds of species of birds nesting among the sunflower-flecked small hills of sand. On the other hand, there’s not a parking space in sight.
How to Get There: The park, off the west coast, can be gotten to by private boats from Honeymoon Island State Park.
Ruby Beach, Washington
Ruby Beach feels almost mythical (神话的), only when at low tide and in the fog. The rocks there are strange-looking, and the pools can be surprising, too.
How to Get There: There’s a sign seven miles north of Kalaloch on Hwy. 101. From the parking lot, follow the path through the trees, down a decline, then toward the water.
Pfeiffer Beach, California
The rocks there are amazing. In some places, the sand is a light shade of purple. Sure, it can get windy, but that’s a small price to pay for paradise.
How to Get There: The turnoff is actually just past the Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park entrance, at Sycamore Canyon Rd. Drive two miles to the beach, and then walk 10 minutes north to Deer Canyon. There’s no sign, but you’ll know it when you see it.
21. What may happen when the tide comes in?
A. Long Beach Island is totally gone.
B. Long Beach Island is popular with tourists.
C. The footpath to High Bar Harbor can be gone.
D. The footpath to High Bar Harbor becomes mythical.
22. What do Ruby Beach and Pfeiffer Beach have in common?
A. They both look mythical. B. They have special rocks.
C. The sand there is purple. D. There are some small pools.
23. Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?
A. Long Beach Island is the most popular Jersey shores.
B. You can also enjoy watching many birds and sunflowers at Caladesi Beach.
C The rocks at Ruby Beach are obviously fantastic all the time.
D. You should pay much to enter Pfeiffer Beach, California.
B
I first met Joe Gumps when we were both 9 years old, which is probably the only reason he is one of my best friends. If I had first met Joe as a freshman in high school, we wouldn’t even have had the chance to get to know each other.
Joe is a day student, but I am a boarding student. We haven’t been in the same classes, sports or extracurricular activities. Nevertheless, I spend nearly every weekend at his house, and we talk on the phone every night. This is not to say that we would not have been compatible if we had first met in our freshman year. Rather, we would not have been likely to spend enough time getting to know each other, due to the lack of immediately visible mutual interests.
In fact, to be honest, I struggle even now to think of things we have in common, but maybe that’s what makes us enjoy each other’s company so much. When I look at my friendship with Joe, I wonder how many people I’ve known whom I never disliked but simply didn’t take the time to get to know. Thanks to Joe, I have realized how little basis there is, for the social division that exist in every community.
Since this realization, I have begun to make an even more determined effort to find friends in unexpected people and places.
24. Why does the author say Joe Gumps became one of his best friends?
A. They shared mutual friends in school. B. They had known each other since children.
C. They shared many extracurricular activities. D. They had many interests in common.
25. Which of the following can explain the underlined word “compatible” in the passage?
A. suited and fitted B. consistent C. less-connected D. unsuitable or unfit
26. According to the writer, what may be the obstacle for him not to spend time to know others?
A. That he doesn’t like others’ company. B. Being strange to others.
C. The lack of obvious mutual interests. D. That he’s busy doing other important things.
27. What has the writer learned from his friendship with Joe?
A. Durable friendships can be very difficult to maintain.
B. One has to be respectful of other people in order to win respect.
C. It is hard for people from different backgrounds to become friends.
D. Social divisions will break down if people get to know each other.
C
Olaf Stapledon wrote a book called First and Last Men, in which he looked millions of years ahead. He told of different men and of strange civilizations, broken up by long “dark ages” in between. In his view, what is called the present time is no more than a moment in human history and we are just the First Men. In 2000 million years from now there will be the Eighteenth or Last Men.
However, most of our ideas about the future are really short-sighted. Perhaps we can see some possibilities for the next fifty years. But the next hundred? The next thousand? The next million? That’s much more difficult.
When men and women lived by hunting 50,000 years ago, how could they even begin to picture modern life? Yet to men of 50,000 years from now, we may see as primitive (原始的) in our ideas as the Stone-Age hunters do to us. Perhaps they will spend their days gollocking to make new spundels, or struggling with their ballalators through the tribe. These words, which I have just made up, have to stand for things and ideas that we simply can’t think of.
So why bother even to try imagining life far in the future? Here are two reasons: First, unless we remember how short our own lives are compared with the whole history, we are likely to think our own interests are much more important than they really are. If we make the earth a poor place to live on because we are careless or greedy or quarrelsome, our grandchildren will not bother to think of excuses for us.
Second, by trying to escape from present interests and imagine life far in the future, we may arrive at quite fresh ideas that we can use ourselves. For example, if we imagine that in the future men may give up farming, we can think of trying it now. So, set your imagination free when think about future.

28. A particular mention made of Stapledon’s book in the opening paragraph __________.
A. shows the popularity of the book B. serves as a description of human history
C. serves as an introduction to the discussion D. shows a disagreement of views
29. The text discusses men and women 50,000 years ago and 50,000 years from now in order to show that __________.
A. human history is extremely long B. it is useless to plan for the next 50 years
C. life has changed a great deal D. it’s difficult to tell what’ll happen in the future
30. “Spundels” and “ballalators” are used in the text to refer to ___________.
A. unknown things in the future B. ideas about modern life
C. tools used in farming D. hunting skills in the Stone-Age
31. According to the writer of the text, imagining the future will ____________.
A. help us to improve farming B. enable us to better understand human history
C. serve the interests of the present and future generations D. make life worth living
D
Nowadays, parents are faced with more pressure while bringing up their kids. we want our children to reach their full academic potential. We read to them, encourage their special talents, and support them when they have problems. If they choose to participate in music or sports, we also help them reach their potential in those areas. These are all good goals.
There is, however, an even more important goal. It is a goal more difficult than excellence in arithmetic or soccer or the violin. Parents are responsible for providing their children with a moral compass. They need to nurture and treasure goodness in their children. Every child has the capacity to become a good, decent human being. To fulfill this capacity, children need the guidance and support of parents and other adults. Raising good, moral children is the most important job we will have.
What is a good, decent human being? While we may differ on some details, most would agree that respect for others, kindness and caring, honesty and honor, and a reverence (尊重) for life are key. Good, decent human beings are people with a firm sense of direction and purpose, a moral compass to guide their lives. Children need our help to develop these characteristics and values.
However, goodness is not easy for an adult, and it is even more difficult for a child. They do not have the knowledge, experiences, or cognitive skills to understand the impact and consequences of their actions.
Reinforcement is sometimes an efficient approach to building positive behavior. The child behaves in a desired way and the parents provide reinforcement. The behavior then typically increases in frequency. This approach works for teaching "Please" and "Thank you". The new behavior is maintained, because it helps the child get along in the world.
Loving, everyday interactions are the beginning of raising moral children. The child who falls and receives adult concern learns how to treat others kindly when they stumble (绊倒). The child who makes a mistake and is encouraged to try again learns how to support others. When parents intercede (调解)graciously for their child, the child can see the basis for friendship. When we treat children with respect and care, we provide a positive model of how to behave. These early experiences establish patterns for their treatment of others.
32. What are adults supposed to do to make children become good, decent human beings?
A. support their children when they have problems
B. encourage their children to be a man with high honesty
C. set a good example and give positive instructions to children
D. encourage their children to learn more knowledge about sports or music
33. Why is it difficult for a child to act with honor and kindness?
A. Because it is difficult for adults to do so.
B. Because a child is not mature enough to do so.
C. Because a child does not understand the abstract concept of “goodness”.
D. Because a child does not have a model to follow.

34. Why does the author talk about teaching "Please" and "Thank you" in Paragraph 5?
A. To demonstrate that reinforcement is an efficient approach to building positive behavior.
B. To demonstrate that politeness is the nature of a moral compass.
C. To demonstrate that politeness helps the child get along in the world.
D. To demonstrate that saying "Please" and "Thank you" is a good habit.
35. Which of the following can express the main idea of the last passage?
A. Adults should treat children with love.
B. Adults should have more positive communication with children.
C. Adults should treat children with respect and care.
D. Adults should provide a positive model of how to behave for children.
