Suddenly, his daughter cried “Look!” Gelinne looked up just in time to see a small aircraft a few hundred yards away, coming down. As the plane disappeared behind the trees, Gelinne, a former sailor, realized it would land in the river. Without hesitation, he ran down to the waterfront. The plane had slid to a stop on the broad, frozen river, far from shore, sinking. The pilot was standing on the wing. Gelinne knew from his previous training that even a few minutes in the icy water could kill the pilot. Gelinne tested the ice with his foot and decided not to take any chances walking on it. So he and his son, John, pulled two kayaks (皮划艇) out. “If it can float on the water, it can slide on the ice,” Gelinne said. The kayaks’ paddles (桨) proved too weak, so the pair tried using sticks to push the boats along. Their first attempts left them spinning in circles. But with effort, they made progress. When Gelinne reached the plane, the pilot was standing on a tail wing, surrounded by open water. Gelinne pushed his kayak off the ice and into the water, paddling toward the pilot and thinking, “What if he panics? What if I fall over?” With his son nearby, Gelinne focused on keeping the pilot calm, joking, “Just hang on to the kayak as if you were hugging your wife.” The pilot grabbed the kayak’s bow. Gelinne knew he had to get the pilot onto the shelf of unbroken ice. But each time Gelinne tried, the kayak broke through the ice. He needed help. Soon a police officer arrived and radioed for help. A boat from the local Department of Natural Resources appeared. It picked up the pilot, Steve 71, and rushed him to safety, who would be treated for minor injuries. Later the boat returned to help Gelinne, exhausted, to shore. The boat had arrived just in time, Gelinne recalled. “I’m 60 years old,” he says. “There was no way I could get him to shore.” Still, he was satisfied. 24. What was Gelinne’s first reaction to the air crash? A. Hesitant. B. Concerned. C. Scared. D. Surprised. 第 3 页 共 9 页25. What can be learned from paragraph 4? A. The plane had sunk to the bottom. B. The pilot was nearly frozen to death. C. The kayaks got stuck in floating ice. D. The rescue was tougher than expected. 26. Why did Gelinne need help? A. Because his son didn’t help him. B. Because the kayaks were broken. C. Because the ice wasn’t solid enough. D. Because the pilot was too exhausted. 27. Which of the following can best describe Gelinne? A. Honest and independent. B. Modest and intelligent. C. Helpful and humorous. D. Generous and cautious. C I know people who say they don’t watch television, and I always nod and agree. Reading requires intelligence, and television is merely entertainment, right? I’m going to Scotland this year, and three different people told me I must watch "Outlander" before I go, which is like "Game of Thrones" for fans of romance novels. I watched the first four-hour-long episodes back to back . When I stood up from the couch I felt sick, and it wasn’t just the cookies, popcorn and peanut butter sandwiches I’d had without noticing. It was dark outside, and I felt ashamed. I had spent half a day on the couch. Research for Scotland?Not exactly. A few days later I had a library book due: The National Book Award winner The Friend, by Sigrid Nunez. I needed to finish it, so I read the last half straight through. I was absorbed in Nunez’s New York City, worrying about the heroin’s career and her future. I finished the book with tears in my eyes and stood up feeling, well, great. I had wasted another four hours on my couch. I hadn’t eaten as much junk food because I needed my hands free—and not sticky—so I could turn pages and return the book to the library relatively clean, but I hadn’t moved and once again it was dark outside. Why did I feel so much better and guilt-free? All the research says reading a book is good for you. It reduces stress, promotes comprehension and imagination, relieves depression, helps you sleep and may contribute to preventing Alzheimer’s(阿尔兹海默症). The act of physically turning a page creates a momentary pause for understanding to sink in. Our brains have to work to translate the black squiggles (弯弯曲曲的 线条) on the page into words and then interpret the meaning and intent (意图) of those words. When a character is described as tall with brown hair, a reader creates her own picture. TV takes all that imagination away. But there’s a lot of good TV now. I’d like to say the answer to TV versus books must be, as Aristotle said, "Moderation in all things," though he never had a television or a computer and had to read his scrolls by candlelight. I agree that too much television is bad for you. I know I feel better if I read, but it won’t stop me from watching too: My second DVD of "Outlander" has just arrived, and as soon as I get this essay done, the rest of my day is free. 28. By "I always nod and agree" (paragraph 1), the author implies that ______ . A. she doesn’t think highly of TV either B. she believes those who say they don’t watch TV C. she should be polite to get the conversation to go on D. she is not willing to admit that she watches television 29. The phrase "back to back" (paragraph 2) is closest in meaning to " ______ ". A. from morning till night B. one after another without a break C. looking at the opposite direction D. leaning against the back of the couch 30. The author felt better after reading The Friend than watching "Outlander", most probably because ______ . A. she didn’t feel hungry for any snacks 第 4 页 共 9 页B. the TV series got her to cancel her trip to Scotland C. the television series was no more attractive than the book D. she regarded reading as more rewarding than watching TV 31. What can be concluded from all the research introduced in paragraph 5? A. Reading is active while watching TV is passive. B. Reading involves physical exercises while watching TV doesn’t. C. Reading stimulates the brain to concentrate while watching TV doesn’t. D. Reading is good for one’s mental health while watching TV is bad for it. D Musk, Hawking, Gates—the tech giants have redoubled their warnings about how we could destroy ourselves with technology. But they’re not talking about deliberately pushing buttons to trigger disaster. They mean accidentally killing ourselves with something that we invent for our benefit. It’s a little embarrassing to have to admit that accidental deaths are increasing in a world that our ancestors made safer for hundreds of years. Our grandparents saw the invention of the automobile, the bulldozer (推土机) and so on, and they made them all safer. However, nowadays, we put a smartphone on every hand, and now more than 1000 distraction-related crashes happen on our roads every day. Kids and pets die of heatstroke (中暑) inside cars—we are on track to set a new record for hot car deaths in 2021. We may not have to worry about AI, but our innovations are quietly outpacing our ability. We place blind trust in complex systems that reveal little about how they work. It seems that we have superhuman abilities, and consumers seem willing to play along. They drive at a speed of 80 mph with a phone and a cup of coffee, and they are proud of their multitasks. Sure, other people on phones are dangerous, but you can smoothly switch your attention and notice when any emergency occurs, right? When we misjudged a situation in the past, we got immediate feedback. But technology can place the consequences of our missteps at a distance. Delayed reactions, complex chain reactions—these are all part of how technology works. But having adapted to a world of new inventions, we are crazy about driverless cars, seldom stopping to consider what could go wrong later down the road. Worse still, technology is even hacking our feedback system. We get excited when we check our phone while driving. Edith Harbaugh, whose company, Launch Darkly, specializes in the controlled release of new technology into the wild, pointed out that we’re creating a dangerously unbalanced system of actions and rewards: “We are not given ice creams every time we do something safe.” So it is too late to worry about threatening technology, which is upon us. The modern world is breaking everything we know about staying safe. If we have any hope of staying alive with the rise of the machines, we are going to need to learn to survive the things we have today. 32. Why is the warning of tech giants mentioned in Paragraph 1? A. To give a definition. B. To highlight their wisdom. C. To offer background information. D. To introduce the topic. 33. Which is not the reason why technology is threatening? A. We trust complex systems blindly. B We create too many inventions. C. Our ability cannot keep pace with the innovations. D. Technology can’t give us feedback immediately. 34. If the passage continues, what may be talked about? 第 5 页 共 9 页A. The rise of the machines. B. The destruction of the world. C. The measures to deal with the problem. D. The worries about threatening technology. 35. What is the best title for the text? A. Every Coin Has Two Sides B. Technology is Benefiting us C. Technology is Killing us D. How Should We Deal with Technology 第二节(共 5 小题;每小题 2.5 分,满分 12.5 分) 根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 In a global world,employers often look for candidates with international experience, such as studies abroad or volunteer programs. 36 1. Studying abroad helps you step out of your comfort zone. If you’ve decided to live a new experience in a new environment, this shows your willingness to learn and adapt to new environments. Stepping out of your normality and out of your comfort zone allows you to expand your skills and learn more about yourself as a person. 37 2. Studying in another country improves your communication skills. If you’re studying a new language abroad, you’ll be improving your communication skills in that language at least! 38 Finding new ways of doing things can help you improve your verbal and negotiation skills. 3. Planning your study trip abroad contributes to your project management skills. 39 From even the little things such as getting a new SIM card, to the bigger things such as applying for a visa, everything takes investigation, organization, and implementation — skills which you can easily apply to your professional life! 4. 40 Studying or working in a new country is an enlightening experience which can open your eyes to new cultures, languages, and a new way of life. These experiences will give you the ability to see things from multiple points of view and consider things with a more global viewpoint. Employers value those who can make decisions based on multiple points of view. A. Experiencing new cultures opens your mind. B. Meeting new people in a new country gives you a chance to nework. C. It also gives you an opportunity to challenge yourself and grow. D. We’re here to explain how studying abroad can help your career. E. The organization around studying abroad is actually pretty extensive. F. Here are some ways to step out of your comfort zone and into greatness. G. When faced with a language barrier, you’ll learn new skills to communicate with someone who doesn’t understand you. 第三部分:语言运用(共两节,满分 30 分) 第一节(共 15 小题;每小题 1 分, 满分 15 分) 阅读下面短文, 从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Mark Bertram lost the tips of two fingers at work in 2018.

China has a variety of brocades, 56 (primary) Shu, Song, Yun and Zhuang brocades. Chengdu, with a reputation 57 the “Land of Abundance”, has a long history of brocade art. Since Sichuan is called “Shu” for short, the brocade 58 (produce) in Chengdu, the capital city of Sichuan, is called Shu brocade. The earliest records of Shu brocade are from the Spring and Autumn period. By the Warring States period, Shu brocade 59 (treasure) widely, becoming an important export product. Thus Chengdu served as the starting point of the famous Southern Silk Road, 60 played an important role in connecting China with the outside world.

And the 62 (centre) government appointed a special officer in Chengdu 63 (manage) the brocade industry, which is why Chengdu is also known as the “City of Brocade”.

A tall official was checking all the athletes. “Number Three. John Fisher.” John nodded while a ripple of goosebumps (一 阵鸡皮疙瘩) shot up his backbone. He should be calm as he had trained pretty hard for the race. However, he had a headache and a sense of imbalance from his poor sleep the night before, Scenes of the last competition filled his head, when he had put in a good effort, doing what he thought was enough only to see another man beat him. The bitter taste of loss spread slowly in his mouth even now. Suddenly, John felt a “man” in black standing beside him, who looked quite familiar. He looked at John and sneered (讥 笑), “Hey. You are not good enough. You’re going to fail like in the last competition!” How dare he say that? John angrily punched (拳打) him, who, however, disappeared into thin air. John remembered the early mornings when he was the first to arrive at the training ground, pushing himself through one more set of exercises each time. Determined not to let this negative voice affect him, he took a deep breath and looked ahead. “Now, everyone, follow me,” the official said and led the group into the arena (运动场). John looked over at the other competitors, each dressed in a similar uniform, well-trained and prepared. John knew he had a tough race ahead of him. The “man” appeared and sneered again “Good luck. You’re going to need it!” Ignoring the “man” and the competitors, John placed his fingers against the starting line and put his body in position. “What should I do first?” he wondered, All the strategies he had planned the night before were gone. He could feel the eye of the crowd on him and he wasn’t ready. Paragraph 1: Bang! John dashed out, but his foot almost slipped. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第 8 页 共 9 页______________________________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: The “man” in black appeared and congratulated him, too. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第 9 页 共 9 页高一下第一次月考参考答案 1~5 BBACC 6~10 BABAC 11~15 CCAAB 16~20 CABAC 21-23 BBA 24-27 BDCC 28-31.

Without hesitation, he ran down to the waterfront.(当飞机消失在树后时,曾经当过水手的 杰琳意识到它将降落在河中。他毫不犹豫地跑到水边)”可知,他一看到飞机降落在河中,就毫不犹豫地跑到 水边,所以推知是担心的。 错误原因:A 项“Hesitant”与“Without hesitation”矛盾;C 项“Scared”未在文中体现,Gelinne 表现得非常果断; D 项“Surprised”虽可能有惊讶成分,但文中重点突出强调其果断反应。 25. 细节理解题。D。根据第四段中的 The kayaksˈ paddles(桨) proved too weak, so the pair tried using sticks to push the boats along. Their first attempts left them spinning in circles. But with effort, they made progress. When Gelinne reached the plane, the pilot was standing on a tail wing, surrounded by open water.(皮划艇的桨太弱了, 所以两人试着用棍子推动小船。他们的第一次尝试让他们在原地打转。但是经过努力,他们取得了进步。当 杰琳娜到达飞机时,飞行员正站在尾翼上,周围是开阔的水域。)可知,落水飞行员站在飞机尾翼上,但是 Gelinne 父子很 难接近他。由此可知救助过程比预想的要困难。 错误原因:A 项“The plane had sunk to the bottom”与文中“The plane had slid to a stop on the broad, frozen river” 矛盾;B 项“The pilot was nearly frozen to death”文中未提及;C 项“The kayaks got stuck in floating ice”文中未 提到皮划艇被卡。 26. 细节理解题。C。根据第五段“With his son nearby, Gelinne focused on keeping the pilot calm, joking, “Just hang on to the kayak as if you were hugging your wife.” The pilot grabbed the kayak’s bow. Gelinne knew he had to get the pilot onto the shelf of unbroken ice. But each time Gelinne tried, the kayak broke through the ice. He needed help.(儿子就在旁边,Gelinne 专注于让飞行员保持冷静,他开玩笑说:“就像拥抱你的妻子一样,紧紧抓住皮 艇。”领航员抓住皮艇的船头。Gelinne 知道他必须把飞行员弄到没有破冰的架子上。但每次杰琳尝试,皮划艇 都破冰而出。他需要帮助)”可知,因为冰不够坚固,导致皮划艇都破冰而出。他需要帮助。 错误原因:A 项“Because his son didn’t help him”与文中“with his son nearby”矛盾;B 项“Because the kayaks were broken”错误,文中提到“paddles proved too weak”,但皮划艇本身未坏;D 项“Because the pilot was too exhausted”文中未提及飞行员因疲劳无法配合。 27. 推理判断题。C。根据第二段“As the plane disappeared behind the trees, Gelinne, a former sailor, realized it would land in the river. Without hesitation, he ran down to the waterfront.(当飞机消失在树后时,曾经当过水手的 杰琳意识到它将降落在河中。他毫不犹豫地跑到水边)”可知,他一看到飞机降落在河中,就毫不犹豫地跑到 水边去救人,所以他是热于助人的,以及第五段“With his son nearby, Gelinne focused on keeping the pilot calm,joking, “Just hang on to the kayak as if you were hugging your wife.”(儿子就在旁边,Gelinne 专注于让飞行员保 持冷静,他开玩笑说:“就像拥抱你的妻子一样,紧紧抓住皮艇。”)”可推知 Gelinne 是个幽默的人,所以 Gelinne 是乐于助人又幽默的。 错误原因:A 项“Honest and independent”文中未提及;B 项“Modest and intelligent”虽有聪明成分,但未体现 谦逊;D 项“Generous and cautious”文中未提及慷慨,谨慎也不是其突出特点。 C 篇 28. A 29. B 30. D 31. A 【导语】这篇文章主要讨论了阅读和看电视剧给人带来的不同体验。作者体验到了阅读带来的诸多好处。 但并没有排除电视。I know I feel better if I read, but it won’t stop me from watching too:My second DVD of " Outlander" has just arrived, and as soon as I get this essay done, the rest of my day is free. 写完文章,他准备追剧 了。 【28 题详解】作者点头认同别人说到不追剧的观点,毕竟阅读需要烧脑,追剧只是娱乐。 【29 题详解】I watched the first four hourlong episodes back to back . When I stood up from the couch I felt sick, and it wasn’t just the cookies,popcorn and peanut butter sandwiches I’d had without noticing. 四个小时不停。作 者看得天昏地暗,还不知不觉地吃了很多垃圾食品。这是研究苏格兰历史,算了吧,吹吧,别自己骗自己了。 作者追剧体验非常不好。 【30 题详解】I was absorbed in Nunez’s New York City, worrying about the heroin’s career and her future. I finished the book with tears in my eyes and stood up feeling, well, great. 同样是几个小时,沉浸式阅读的体验就 是不同。 【31 题详解】这题一定要注意,作者没有非此即彼的否定电视。原文: I agree that too much television is bad for you. 注意这里有 too much。作者也讲了阅读的诸多好处,如:When a character is described as tall with brown hair, a reader creates her own picture. TV takes all that imagination away. 你可以脑补一个人物的形象,但电视剧 把这个想象带走了。这说明阅读是一种主动参与的行为。 D 篇 32. D 33. B 34. C 35. C 【导语】这是一篇议论文。主要讨论了科技发展给人类带来的潜在威胁。 【32 题详解】推理判断题。根据第一段“Musk, Hawking, Gates — the tech giants have redoubled their warnings about how we could destroy ourselves with technology. But they’re not talking about deliberately pushing buttons to trigger disaster. They mean accidentally killing ourselves with something that we invent for our benefit.”(马斯克、 霍金、盖茨——这些科技巨头已经加倍警告我们,科技可能会毁灭我们自己。但他们并不是在谈论故意按下 按钮来引发灾难。他们的意思是用我们为了自己的利益而发明的东西意外地杀死自己。)并结合下文第二段 最后一句“We may not have to worry about AI, but our innovations are quietly outpacing our ability.”(我们可能不 必担心人工智能,但我们的创新正在悄悄地超越我们的能力。)及第四段“But technology can place the consequences of our missteps at a distance.”(但科技可以把我们失误的后果放在远处。)等描述可知,后文主要 讨论了科技发展给人类带来的潜在威胁,故第一段提到科技巨头的警告是为了引出主题。故选 D 项。 【33 题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“We may not have to worry about AI, but our innovations are quietly outpacing our ability.”(我们可能不必担心人工智能,但我们的创新正在悄悄地超越我们的能力。)及 第三段第一句“We place blind trust in complex systems that reveal little about how they work.”(我们盲目信任那 些对其工作原理知之甚少的复杂系统。)及第四段第一句“When we misjudged a situation in the past, we got immediate feedback.But technology can place the consequences of our missteps at a distance. ”(过去,当我们判断 错误时,我们会立即得到反馈。但科技可以把我们失误的后果放在远处。)可知,技术不能立即给我们反馈, 我们盲目相信复杂的系统及我们的能力跟不上创新的步伐都是造成科技有威胁的原因,文章没有提到我们创 造了太多的发明导致科技有威胁。故选 B 项。 【34 题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段“So it is too late to worry about threatening technology, which is upon us. The modern world is breaking everything we know about staying safe. If we have any hope of staying alive with the rise of the machines, we are going to need to learn to survive the things we have today.”(所以现在担心威胁我 们的技术已经太迟了。现代世界正在打破我们所知道的关于安全的一切。如果我们有希望在机器崛起的时代 生存下去,我们就需要学会在我们今天拥有的东西中生存。)可知,科技的威胁已经降临,无法逃避,若想 在机器崛起的时代生存,则需要学会如何应对,可推知,下文会介绍如何利用我们今天拥有的东西生存,即如何解决科技的威胁及如何生存的措施。故选 C 项。 【35 题详解】主旨大意题。根据第一段“Musk, Hawking, Gates — the tech giants have redoubled their warnings about how we could destroy ourselves with technology. But they’re not talking about deliberately pushing buttons to trigger disaster. They mean accidentally killing ourselves with something that we invent for our benefit.”(马斯克、 霍金、盖茨——这些科技巨头已经加倍警告我们,科技可能会毁灭我们自己。但他们并不是在谈论故意按下 按钮来引发灾难。他们的意思是用我们为了自己的利益而发明的东西意外地杀死自己。)并结合下文对科技 威胁的原因的论述可知,本文主要介绍了科技发展给人类带来的潜在威胁,即科技正在扼杀我们自己。故选 C 项。 七选五【答案】36.

Yours sincerely, Students’ Union 第二节(满分 25 分) 【答案】Paragraph 1: Bang! John dashed out, but his foot almost slipped. He quickly regained his balance, his heart pounding in his chest. The adrenaline surged through him, pushing him forward. He focused on the track ahead, blocking out the cheers and jeers of the crowd. His muscles worked in perfect harmony, each stride bringing him closer to the finish line. As he rounded the final bend, he saw the leaders just ahead. With a final burst of speed, he sprinted towards them, his lungs burning and his legs screaming in protest. But he didn’t let up, his determination propelling him forward. To his surprise, he crossed the finish line in second place, just inches behind the winner. Paragraph 2: The “man” in black appeared and congratulated him, too. “Well done, John,” he said, his tone no longer sneering but genuinely impressed. “You’ve come a long way. Remember, it’s not about winning every time, it’s about pushing yourself to be better, about facing your fears and rising above them.” John stared at the “man”, realizing he was a figment of his own doubts and insecurities. “Thanks,” he muttered, feeling a sense of relief wash over him. He turned to his coach and teammates, who were cheering him on. For the first time, he felt like he truly belonged. He knew he still had a lot to learn and many more races to run, but today, he had proven to himself that hecould compete with the best. And that, he thought, was victory enough. 听力部分录音稿 (Text 1) M: What do you do in your spare time? W: Well, I like shopping and I jog every day. But there is nothing I enjoy more than drawing pictures. (Text 2) W: Do you go to work on foot every day? M: No, my physical condition doesn’t allow me to walk a lot. I usually take a bus. But sometimes, I wish someone would give me a ride. (Text 3) W: Haven’t you moved out? I thought you moved last month. M: Cathy and I intended to move, but she wasn’t satisfied with any of the flats she looked at. But she just found a new flat online the other day and we want to move this weekend. (Text 4) M: Is your roof all right after the storm? I saw a workman there today. W: The roof is fine. The workman was putting some new glass in an upstairs window. It was broken by a tree branch. Luckily it didn’t damage my car. (Text 5) W: Don’t take too long, Mike. The examination is coming, you know. M: I won’t. I’ll come back to school as soon as possible and make up the lessons missed during my absence. (Text 6) W: Hey, Mark! How have you been? It’s been so long. M: Yeah, Judy, I can’t believe it’s been like a year since we had that fishing trip by the river. W: At least! I’ve been trying to get everyone together, but you know, it’s just hard to organize so many people after graduation. M: Yes, work comes first. Well, Elaine and I are thinking of heading up to the beach next month. We’d love it if you can come with us. W: Actually, I’m moving house next month. (Text 7) M: I’m planning my trip to New Zealand. I heard you went there last year. W: Oh, yes. What would you like to know? M: Which month is the best time to go? W: I went in December but it was very hot. Any time after August would be OK. I suggest you go in October. M: What is the best place you visited? W: I like Milford Sound most, but my friend all love Mount Cook. Lake Tekapo is really beautiful, too. M: Where did you stay? W: At a local family. We saved a lot of money staying there. Hotels were too expensive. Next time I go, I’ll camp. It must be interesting. M: Sounds great. Thanks, Jane. W: You’ re welcome! (Text 8) M: Hi, I’d like some information about the photography course. W: Well, we do several different courses. The first is the “Introducing Photography”. That runs for ten weeks and it’s a primary-level course. That’s on Monday evenings. M: Right. W: Next, there’s the “Black and White Photography”, which is at middle level, so you’d need some previousexperience for that one. And you have to have an interview with a tutor beforehand. It’s a daytime course on Tuesdays. That’s also for ten weeks. M: Pity! I work during daytime on Tuesdays. W: Well, there’s also the “Scenery Photography”, which is on Tuesday evenings. That’s a longer course than the others. It runs for sixteen weeks. M: And do you need previous experience for that one? W: It’s at advanced level. So, yes. And again, you’d have to be interviewed beforehand. Then the only other one we do is the “Art of Digital Photography”. It’s for ten weeks. You can do it at any time to suit you during the week. No interview. (Text 9) W: So, what kind of film are we going to see? M: What about the action film Bullet Train? It’s said to be extremely exciting. W: Exciting? Action films are always full of fighting and killings. They’ re not my cup of tea. M: Brad Pitt stars in the film and there’re many humorous scenes. I thought you’d like it. W: I’m a fan of comedies, but that’s not the same. M: OK. There’s also an adventure film called The Railway Children and a science fiction one called The Adam Project, so which one would you like to see? W: I’d like to choose The Railway Children. What do you say? M: Each suits me fine. Well, two tickets cost $10. If we buy online, we’ll get a 20% discount today. W: Well, do it online. M: OK. But it’ll start in two hours. What about getting something to eat first? There’s an Italian restaurant at the corner next to the shopping mall. My sister had dinner there last time and she spoke highly of it. W: Cool. Let’s go. (Text 10) W: I hope I have given you a clear idea of the schedule for the island tour. Now here’s some important information about surfing. Firstly, travelers’ pick-up is offered. We can pick you up at any spot close to our surfing location. If it’ s a little far, then we ‘ll ask for a small pick-up and drop fee, $25 for the group of five. Hotel pick-up is also offered. Please view the hotel list on your checking page to see if yours is included among the pick-up points. And secondly, if you want to take surfing lessons in advance, please sign up now. Thirdly, the fees include surfboards, but not bottled water. The surfing experience lasts two hours, and then we’ll return to the original departure point. Oh, don’t forget to bring your own towels. Finally, the weather will be sunny throughout the trip, neither too hot nor too cold, perfect for surfing. But please note that you should wear the clothes which can help you avoid being sunburned.
