If you're looking for some thrills, Britain's theme parks are great places to spend a summer's
day. Here's our guide to four best theme parks in the UK and the reasons you'll love them.
Thorpe Park, Surrey
Thorpe Park is probably Britain's scariest theme park. Built on an island in an artificial lake,
it offers several aquatic-themed rides including Tidal Wave, Colossus and Nemesis Inferno.
Another big attraction is Derren Brown's Ghost Train, a high-tech version of the fairground rides
that terrified generations of British children.
Cost: Tickets start from £30
Crealy Adventure Park, Devon
Beautiful English countryside and some fun rides: what's not to like? Crealy Adventure Park
is home to the 12-metre high Twister rollercoaster offering 310 metres of twists and turns. It also
offers more wet and soft thrills in the form of the Tidal Wave log flume, which drops you and your
fellow riders 40 feet into a pool of water.
Cost: Tickets start at £16
Blackpool Pleasure Beach, Blackpool
This theme park is home to the UK’s tallest rollercoaster, looping (环形) coaster and
suspended looping coaster—so if you are an adrenaline junkie then this one is for you.
Cost: Tickets start at £27
Chessington World of Adventures, Chessington
You can combine a visit to this theme park with a visit to Chessington's famous zoo (home to
more than 1, 000 animals)—but the thing to do at Chessington is to challenge yourself to go on the
Dragon's Fury spinning coaster that has a vertical turn.Cost: Tickets start at £28
21. Which item has existed for decades?
A. Tidal Wave. B. Nemesis Inferno.
C. Dragon's Fury spinning coaster. D. Derren Brown's Ghost Train.

C. Blackpool Pleasure Beach, Blackpool. D. Chessington World of Adventures,
Chessington.

Sharon Holland and her husband, Jer, are travelling around the world and saving money at
the same time—by swapping houses with strangers to keep the bills low. They only have to pay
for their flights, meaning they save hundreds of pounds on their holidays each year.
The couple's occupation allows them to enjoy long periods of school holidays. Both work as
school Deputy Principals, which allows them to take their children, Cian, 23, Miah, 13, and Faye,
11, abroad up to four times per year. On average, they pay £1, 250 per year for flights.
Sharon, from Cork, Ireland, has exchanged her home with a stranger 40 times in the last 13
years and says she's never looked back. She said: “I couldn't imagine travelling any other way
now. Swapping our Irish Georgian farmhouse for another house abroad is amazing. There are
home-style houses, modern city apartments and beautiful architectural period houses too. Every
holiday is different and staying in someone else's house makes our experience more rewarding and
enjoyable. We are able to meet more locals and understand the culture more than we would if we
were to stay at a hotel. We bring our laptops during the summer weeks as we are both responsible
for timetabling and school planning but this can be done at a distance”.
Sharon has visited various cities in America, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Spain,
Netherlands, the U. K and their home country of Ireland. “But our favourite place is Italy. We have
been lucky enough to visit there six times. Over the years, every experience has been great—from
taking in the architecture to the food. We have made some wonderful happy memories for less”,
adds she.
24. Why do the couple travel by swapping houses with strangers?
A. To avoid taking flights. B. To spread local culture.
C. To improve their living conditions. D. To cut down their travel costs.
25. What can we know about Sharon from the text?
A. She comes from England and likes Italy. B. She never lives in a hotel when traveling.
C. She is keen on the way of swapping houses. D. She plans to open a school with her husband.
26. What does Sharon think of swapping houses with strangers?
A. Unacceptable. B. Fantastic. C. Ridiculous. D. Traditional.
27. What's the main purpose of the text?
A. To share a couple's special way of travelling. B. To advise more people to travel worldwide.
C. To introduce ways of exchanging houses. D. To teach us how to save money while
traveling.
C
A simple gel (凝胶) collects water out of thin air! This innovation works well in dry
climates, promising drinking water to those living with water shortage.
The gel was invented by a team of scientists and engineers at the University of Texas.
Combining two simple ingredients, the gel is inexpensive to produce. Just one kilogram of gel can
absorb up to six liters of water in a dry climate. For those living in a climate with relativehumidity (湿度), one kilogram of gel can collect up to 13 liters of water a day.
“This new work is about practical solutions that people can use to get water in the hottest,
driest places on Earth,” said Professor Guihua Yu. “This could allow millions of people without
easy access to drinking water to have water producing equipment at home that they can easily
operate.”
Countries are currently using available bodies of water to create drinking water, according to
the study. These include removing salt from ocean water and using water purification
technologies. Yet there are plenty of small water drops in the atmosphere that can be harnessed as
a reliable resource.
Researchers have collected fresh water from fog and dew (露水), but that only serves
areas with high humidity. With one third of the population living in dry places with very low
humidity, a workable solution is of great importance. Scientists have been able to obtain water
from desert air, but these methods have low yields (产量) and use lots of energy. In fact, this
gel is a great improvement from previous water harvesting technologies. The maximum water
harvested has been 5. 87 liters in places with relative humidity.
This new gel doubles this amount, uses no energy and is simple to operate and it can be
molded into a shape or size that best suits the user. Scientists are planning on making a thicker gel
that will increase the yield, which is most important in making this technology a practical
solution to drought (干旱). Easy-to-use and inexpensive, the hope is that this super gel will
offer access to clean drinking water to dry places around the world.
28. What can we infer from Professor Guihua Yu's words?
A. He is in charge of the research. B. He is promoting this
achievement worldwide.
C. He has been concerned about drinking water safety. D. He speaks highly of the new
technology.
29. What does the underlined word “harnessed” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Used. B. Enjoyed. C. Considered. D. Shared.
30. What do researchers think of getting fresh water from fog?
A. It is workable. B. It has limitations. C. It is of great importance. D. It has a
bright future.
31. What is the key to making this new technology workable?
A. Sufficient funds. B. Experienced researchers. C. Increased output. D. Easy
operation.
D
The world's first named heat wave hit Seville, Spain, pushing temperatures past 110 degrees
Fahrenheit and earning the most severe tier (级别) in the city’s new heat wave ranking
system. Heat wave “Zoe” has brought burning temperatures to the southern part of the country for
the last few days, particularly the area where Seville is located.
Zoe is the first named heat wave to hit Seville since it officially used a new system last month
to name and rank heat waves, similar to hurricanes (Climatewire, June 22). Only the most
severe heat waves get names, named this year in reverse (颠倒的) alphabetical order. After
Zoe come Yago, Xenia, Wenceslao and Vega. The worst of the heat is expected to begin
tapering off (减弱) today, but it has already posed a significant risk to human health.
Seville's new ranking system takes a three-tiered approach to categorizing heat waves, with
Category 1 as the lowest ranking and Category 3 as the most severe. The system has specific
criteria for each category, involving not only daytime temperatures, but also nighttime lows,
humidity and the heat's expected effects on human health.Spain has been struggling with extreme temperatures for much of the summer already. High
heat broke local records around the country last month, and the first two weeks of June were the
hottest on record in the country. Across the continent, this year was Europe's second hottest June
on record. Extreme heat returned again earlier this month. Cities across Spain broke monthly
temperature records and wildfires broke out on the landscape.
Climate change is causing heat waves to become more frequent, more severe and longer-
lasting all over the world, increasing the risks to human health. Seville's new naming and ranking
system is intended to raise public awareness about the dangers of extreme heat.
32. What can we know about Zoe?
A. It's the most severe heat wave in the world. B. Its power is similar to the
hurricane on June 22.
C. It has had a negative influence on human health. D. It's the first heat wave hitting
Seville, Spain.
33. What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A. The effect of heat waves on human health. B. The way and standard of sorting
heat waves. ism
C. The approaches to dealing with heat waves. D. The present situation of extreme
heat in Spain.
34. Why are heat waves named and ranked in Seville?
A. To distinguish their different types. B. To raise our awareness of good
health.
C. To remind us to get ready for them. D. To help the public know about
their dangers.
35. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Zoe—the World's First Named Heat Wave
B. The Most Severe Tier Heat Wave Hitting Seville
C. Climate Change—the Major Contributor to Heat Waves
D. Reasons for More and More Frequent Extreme Heat Waves

项。
I left Denmark for the United States for a research abroad experience during my Ph. D. I
hadn't made any friends by that point so I decided to ask another Ph. D student in my office
whether they'd meet up outside work. He looked at me, smiled, and then uttered “Yes.” 36
I had finally conquered my shyness and dared to step out of my comfort zone.
My university encourages Ph. D students to spend time abroad, so I planned fromthe
beginning to work at a U. S. university for six months. 37 But I was also afraid that
my shy self would keep me from getting to know people, leading to a level of sadness and
loneliness that would eventually force me to abandon the adventure and go back to Denmark.
38 Finding myself in a foreign country without my habitual life terrified me. My
sister advised me to go to campus every day. So later, every weekend, I would plan outings with at
least one person, whether it be going out for a meal, visiting a museum, traveling to another city,
or going on a hike. 39 I suddenly felt much less lonely. Even little interactions at work
helped me feel part of a community. By the end of my time in Atlanta, I felt so comfortable that I
actually had mixed feelings about going home.
I returned to Denmark last May, feeling fulfilled by my time abroad. I was able to travel to
new places, meet interesting people, and learn new professional skills. 40 I encourage
every young scientist to do a research stay abroad—and to have the courage to open up to peoplewhile you're there.
A. The advice made a huge difference.
B. It was a little thing, but it was a victory.
C. The initial few months in America were difficult.
D. I had wanted to make more efforts to get to know people.
E. I built up a small group of friends—from both within and outside the office
F. I also came to appreciate the benefits of stepping outside my comfort zone.
G. I was excited to travel, improve my English, and expand my scientific network.

Xiechi Lake, also known as Yuncheng Salt Lake in China's Shanxi Province, 61
(become)popular on social media websites in the past few years.
Now, China wants to transform that online 62 (popular) into real-life tourism. “As
the Chinese 'Dead Sea', floating here is 63 unforgettable experience, and one you can't
find anywhere else,” reads a tourism
advertisement 64 (sponsor) by the Yuncheng Salt Lake Tourism Development
Company. Yuncheng Salt Lake is a sulfate (硫酸盐) lake. “If the sulfate in your water is
greater than the calcium (钙), all the calcium is used up, 65 leaves you with
large amounts of sulfate and you have a sulfate lake,” explains geography professor Bernie Owen.
Xiechi is also a “closed basin” lake, 66 (mean) it doesn't flow out to a river or ocean,
which explains how its salt content stays so high. It is possible for salt lakes to freeze over,
although not as 67 (quick) as other lakes—after all, think about what happens when we
spread salt over icy roads. Saltwater freezes at 68 (low)temperatures than fresh water.
In an effort 69 (boost) Xiechi Lake's international profile, China is reportedly
taking steps to get it recognized 70 a UNESCO World Heritage site.

第二节 书面表达
One possible version:
In order to help protect the environment, we should start small and do our part just by
changing our daily habits.
Some simple acts do make a difference. Firstly, save energy and electricity. Turn off lights,
televisions, computers or printers each time you stop using them. Also, run your dishwasher only
when it is completely full. Secondly, give away your old things that are still in good condition so
that someone else can reuse them. Thirdly, you can turn useless junk into something creative and
cute. For example, an old T-shirt can be cleverly turned into a shopping bag, and plastic bottles
can serve as nice pots for flowers, while throwing them away may be a pity for you.

M: My sister is coming to visit me this weekend. But I know little about the city.
W: I'd like to give you a hand. What does your sister like? Clubs? Bars? Concerts?
M: Um, museums.
Text 2
M: Mary, you saw a science fiction film last night, didn't you?
W: Yes, I think everyone will like it, whatever their age-an exciting plot and great acting.
Particularly, I want to give the sound effects a round of applause.

W: David, you got through to the national final as the youngest chef. What if you win?
M: Well, the first prize is an intelligent fridge. The second prize is a top-quality cooking pan. And
there's a set of kitchen knives for everyone who gets as far as the national final.
Text 4
W: This is a really interesting article, Ben. It's full of great facts.
M: Thanks. I went to the library, but I couldn't find any good textbooks. So I had a quick look on
the Internet, but then my friend Simon suggested I look at some new history magazines, and that's
what I used.
Text 5
M: There're lots of good things on at the music festival. I've got a ticket for a folk concert.
W: I'm going to see the rock band Buzz. Do you fancy seeing something together? There's a jazz
band playing on the last day. We could try that.
M: Fine with me.Text 6
W: Excuse me, sir. I think you might be sitting in my seat. My ticket says I'm supposed to be in
Seat A by the window.
M: I'm sure I'm in 14A. Let's look at your boarding pass. Hmm, I see the problem. You're seated
right behind me.
W: Oh, thanks, but... would you mind changing places with me? My colleague's going to be sitting
in 14B, and we have some business to discuss on the trip.
M: Sure, that's fine.
Text 7
W: I'm going to be a little late for the weekly staff meeting tomorrow. I have a customer
appointment at nine thirty.
M: The meeting doesn't start till eleven. You can't be there by then?
W: Sorry, I don't think so. But I'll only be 30 minutes late, and no more, so just plan to start
without me. By the way, is the sales report on the agenda?
M: I'm afraid not. We're just going to have the marketing report, that's all. Mind you, the budget
report is put off till next week.
Text 8
W: That really old house in Wales is for sale—where we had that holiday—do you remember?
Look, it's completely unchanged.
M: Yes, of course. It was great for playing hide-and-seek. Mum was always complaining there was
never any hot water for showering. Dad used to make up scary stories about the people in the old
paintings.
W: Yes. What I mainly remember is lying awake at night thinking about the people who had lived
there before.
M: I hope the person who buys won't change it. I'd hate to see it lose its character.
W: It's bound to have a preservation order on it because it's old. It won't be turned into a hotel.
M: I expect you're right. It's awful to think of all the furniture and paintings being sold off or
ending upin a museum. I hope it remains the same and we can go there on holiday again.

M: Thanks for coming in today, Mrs. Bromley. We've been rather concerned about Billy recently
and I need to discuss his behavior with you.
W: Is he misbehaving in class?
M: Until this term, Billy's always been a model student. But he's become lazy these days—he
hardly ever does his homework. Has there been a change in his personal life recently?
W: Well, his brother left home to go to university six months ago and Billy misses him a lot. He
says he wants to go to university just like David.
M: Does he have his own computer in his room?
W: Yes, he's always watching films on it lately.
M: That could be the reason. He may be staying up too late. He never wants to join in group
activities. He prefers to go to the library, sit in a corner and pretend to read. But usually he's
caught there sleeping!
W: Oh, no. What should I do?
M: This is a common situation with teenagers. I'm convinced that a professional advisor can sort
Billy out.
W: Thank you so much. You've made me feel so much better about this.

M: I've always been interested in making money and I always believed I'd be successful. My
father was very proud that I'd been to university—the first in my family to do so. He hoped I'dbecome a banker or a lawyer, and not a fruit seller like him. But instead, I saw an opportunity to
make money from sports shoes. From a humble start in a small shop, my business grew rapidly.
Just before I sold the business, I had two hundred and fifty shops. I decided to take time out and
enjoy myself. I spent loads of money on holidays but I didn't find this lifestyle satisfying. Then I
started thinking and realized that the £700 I would spend on a suit could make a huge difference to
someone's life. So five years ago, I started being involved in development projects that help
village communities in Africa. We've been able to build new schools, improve access to water and
invest in farm machinery. The first of these projects to have been completed was a hospital in a
small town. Seeing that finished and operational was the most satisfying experience of my life.
