Known for its plenty of ancient ruins, sunny beaches, tasty cuisine and friendly atmosphere, it is no wonder that Greece ranks among Europe's top travel destinations. But the reason that tourism exists in the first place is that it's just so beautiful here. Often, you'll also find that beauty on some islands. Thessaloniki

Thessaloniki is Greece's second-largest city and the capital city of the Macedonian region of Northern Greece. Lively festivals, social events and a colorful nightlife make this city the cultural capital of Greece. Consisting of a historic city center and commercial district, Thessaloniki offers both old and new attractions from its Byzantine walls to museums and art galleries. Thessaloniki's nightlife is unmatched. Zagori

Zagori is a region of great natural beauty, with striking geology and two national parks, in northwestern Greece. Forests and mountains are surrounded by powerful rivers and traditional villages, many featuring grand stone houses dating from the late eighteenth century. The best way to enjoy the area is by hiking the numerous paths connecting the villages. The most accessible and rewarding target is the wonderful Víkos Gorge. Halkidiki

Halkidiki has sporting excellent beaches. Its three separate peninsulas (半岛) can be roughly summarized as follows: Kassandra has the nightlife, Sithonia has the beaches and Athos has the monks(僧侣). Being closest to Thessaloniki, Kassandra is more built-up, while the more quiet Sithonia has campgrounds, hidden bays and clear waters. Both are popular with Greek and Eastern European tourists. Much of the easternmost peninsula is accessible by boat and open to males only.

I had to knock on the taxi to get his attention. Finally, the driver, a man about 60, looked up from behind the wheel and apologized, \"I'm sorry, but I was reading a letter.\" He sounded as if he had a cold or a cough.

Since I was in no hurry, I told him to finish his letter. He shook his head, explaining that he had already read it several times and almost knew it by heart. Curious, I asked whether it was from a child or maybe a grandchild.\"This isn't family,\" he replied, \"though he might just as well have been a regular member of the family. Old Ed and I grew up together.\"

They were always friends. But since he moved away from the neighborhood 30 years ago, it'd generally just been postcards at Christmas time between them. A couple of weeks ago, Ed died. \"I should have kept in touch.\" He repeated this, more to himself than to me. To comfort him, I said sometimes we just didn't seem to find the time. \"But we used to find the time,\" he said. \"Take a look.\" He handed the letter over to me.

The first sentence \"I've been meaning to write for some time, but I've always delayed it.\" reminded me of myself. It went on to say that he often thought about the good times they had had together. When I read the part where it said\"Your friendship really means a lot to me, more than I can say because I'm not good at saying things like that\

We had gone several kilometers and were almost at my hotel, so I read the last

paragraph:\"So I thought you'd like to know that I was thinking of you.\" And it was ended with \"Your Old Friend, Tom.\"

\"I thought your friend's name was Ed,\"I said.

\"I'm Tom,\" he explained. \"It's a letter I wrote to Ed before I knew he'd died. I never put it in the mailbox. I guess I should have written it sooner.\" His face was pale as he wiped his eyes with a handkerchief.

When I got to my hotel room I didn't unpack right away, I had to write a letter and post it. 4. Who wrote the letter? A. Tom. grandchild.

5. It can be inferred from the passage that the driver regretted ________. A. missing Ed's funeral

6.From Paragraph 4, we can learn that the author of the passage ________. A. often failed to write to his friends B. had no intention to write to his friends C. had many great moments with his friends D. was good at expressing feelings to his friends 7.What message does the passage probably try to convey? A. Comfort your friends when they are feeling down. B. Life is unpredictable, so live each day as if it were your last. C. Remember to always mail your letters after expressing your words. D. Always make time to value and experience your lasting friendships.

C

Royal Dutch Shell is launching a $ 300 million and forestry program, at a time when an increasing number of oil companies are putting money in carbon offset(碳补偿) plans to meet climate goals. The company will spend the money over the next three years on projects to store carbon, including large forests in the Netherlands and Spain, and will start offering motorists the option of purchasing carbon offsets when they buy petrol at the pump.

The executives of the company explained that these carbon offset projects were a new business opportunity for Shell, as well as a way to meet its climate targets. \"We believe that over time we

B. Old Ed. C. The author. D. The driver's

will be building a business, because these carbon credits will become more valuable as carbon becomes more limited,\" they said. Shell recently decided to cut its net carbon footprint(碳排放) by 2-3 percent in five years, which includes emissions(排放) from the products it sells. The company plans to produce carbon credits from the forestry projects, then sell these credits on to customers buying its oil and gas products, or apply the credits to its own operations to lower its carbon footprint.

Plants absorb carbon dioxide as they grow and restoring forests and other natural areas is considered one of the simplest ways to store carbon. However, the voluntary market for carbon credits based on forestry projects has its critics, as projects in developing countries can be hard to monitor. Shell's move has also been criticized by some environmentalists. They worried that there was a risk of \"greenwash\" when companies invested in forestry projects. \"There is an entire debate about whether forestry projects truly reduce emissions or not,\" they said, pointing out that planting in one area could cause deforestation (滥伐森林)to another.

Shell said it would rely on the third party to ensure its forest program to meet the Voluntary Carbon Standard and strict biodiversity requirements. Mark Lewis, head of climate change investment research at BNP Paribas, said, \"Planting trees to offset emissions, as far as it goes, is a step in the right direction.\"

8.What is popular among oil companies these days? A.Studying climate changes. B.Launching forestry programs. C.Working out carbon offset plans. D.Attracting motorists to buy their petrol.

9.How will Shell Company make profits from its carbon offset projects? A.By quitting the emissions of its products. B.By reducing its carbon footprint by a quarter. C.By limiting the oil used by its own operations. D.By putting carbon credits it produces on the market.

10.What concerns some environmentalists about forestry project? A.The projects can't really stop carbon emissions. B.The projects are hard to monitor in poor countries.

C.The projects may lead to deforestation in other forests. D.The projects haven't met strict biodiversity requirements.

11.What does the underlined word \"greenwash\" in Paragraph 3mean? A.Discount.

B.Cheat.

C.Decline. D

Scientists have developed a new type of smart bandage(绷带) that can signal the type of bacterial(细菌的) infection it's protecting, just like a traffic light, as well as release the right type of drugs on demand. The traffic light system works just like this: Green means no bacteria or a low concentration of bacteria, yellow means drug-sensitive(DS) bacteria responsive to standard antibiotics(抗生素) and causes antibiotic release, and red means drug-resistant(DR) bacteria that need extra help to be wiped out.

In testing the bandage on mice, the research team was able to successfully treat both DS and DR infections using the new method. However, the common methods of sensing resistance are limited by time, the requirement for professional personnel, and expensive instruments. Moreover, the abuse of antibiotics causes the accelerated process of bacterial resistance.

It's easy to see how a simple bandage and light could overcome some of these limitations. Treatment doesn't have to wait for a doctor to make a diagnosis, and the bandage can get the right sort of drugs applied at the earliest opportunity. What's more, the person wearing the bandage gets real-time feedback on what's happening with the infection, if there's an infection at all. The researchers say it offers numerous benefits over existing treatments that make use of light, including photodynamic therapy or PDT.

We've been seeing quite a few upgrades to the traditional bandage in recent years, thanks to advances in science—like the nanofibre mesh that attracts bacteria and draws some of it out, speeding up the healing process. Then there's the novel bandage for treating burns, which stops bacteria from multiplying and lowers the risk of infection.

The more work that a bandage can do while it's protecting a wound, the better. Efforts to improve bandages continue and now we've got a bandage that not only releases antibiotics, but also tells the patient exactly what's going on too. 12.What is the smart bandage mainly designed to do? A.Avoid the use of antibiotics.

B.Clear out harmful bacteria.

D.Change.

C.Detect bacterial infections.

13.What is the advantage of the smart bandage? A.It saves much time and cost. C.It prevents the bacterial resistance.

D.Increase treatment options.

B.It removes the risk of infection. D.It improves doctor-patient relationship.

14.What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs? A.Traditional bandages are out of use now. C.Progress in science calls for more research. 15.What does the text focus on? A.A successful test on mice. C.Sensing drug-resistant bacteria.

B.A colour-changing bandage. D.Preventing abuse of antibiotics. B.More smart bandages will be developed. D.People are urged to study medical science.

When big news breaks, it’s easy to get caught up in following the story online. The Internet can be a place to find useful information. 16________ Helping kids understand the news and how to separate fact from fiction is an important job for parents and educators.

Here’s some advice that parents can offer kids to help them be quicker to judge as they consume news online.

17________ In the rush to cover stories, reporters make mistakes, officials don't always have correct information and tidbits(有趣的热门花边新闻) that sound reasonable often get passed around before anyone has checked them for accuracy.

Use social media wisely. Some say Twitter is a great source of news in the first few minutes of a tragedy. 18________ On the other hand, Facebook can be a great way to connect with friends affected by events in the news and to spread personal news within a more limited circle.

Be skeptical. 19________ After the Boston Marathon bombing, NBC Sports reported that some runners kept running all the way to the hospital to donate blood for the victims. Not true. There are plenty of websites devoted to exposing false news stories. The Washington Post also has

Fact Checker column that delivers claims made by public officials and politicians. Visit them to find out if a story is true.

Keep it age-appropriate. Kids aren’t always ready to digest big, tragic news-especially if the news is about kids, such as school shootings or abuses. The constant repetition of information can be confusing for younger kids and at the beginning of a news event, parents might not be able to offer any correct answers.20________ A. Remember, breaking news is often wrong. B. It also can be the source of misinformation.

C If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is. D. Make sure you and your kids aren’t falling victim to false news. E. However, after that it just becomes messy and largely inaccurate.

In her seventeen years on this earth, Shreyaa Venkat has done more to help the planet and the people than many adults two, three, and four times her age. The non-profit organization she founded, NEST4US, has helped tens of thousands of people in the United States.

Venkat's enthusiasm for helping others started as soon as she could walk, as her parents, active volunteers themselves, brought her along on their various projects. By fifth grade, she started

organizing her own service projects in her community. \"I like doing good things but I'd rather do them with friends,\" she explains. \"It brings me so much joy to help.\"

NEST4US was born when she realized how much food waste there is, how many hungry people there are. \"There was a homeless man standing on a comer in D. C. and he was holding a sign that said 'Hungry Need Food',\" she remembers. \"So I gave him my lunch—it was just a banana, and a water—and his whole face just lit up. I found out he hadn't eaten in a week! It was so easy, it only took me 30 seconds, and it really helped him.\"

Hunger is just one of the many harsh realities of living on the streets. But the ease of this small act inspired her to find a way to get food to the people who need it the most. True, this is a question politicians, community and religious leaders, and others have been wrestling with for thousands of years. But she didn't overthink it; she decided to just act. Paragraph 1 :

How would she accomplish this huge task?

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2 :

As much as she has helped others, they have helped her too, she says.

答案：36.have destroyed 37.on 38. surprisingly 39.loss 40.is 41.an 42. left 43.because 44.different 45.finding

解析：36考查动词时态。根据上文中Since last September可知，应用现在完成时，主语为the Australian bushfires，助动词应用have。故填have destroyed。

37考查介词。句意：最近，人们比以前更加关注火灾对动物的影响。固定搭配the effects on，意为\"对……的影响\"。故填on。

38考查副词。修饰后文形容词large应用副词surprisingly,表示\"惊人地\"。故填surprisingly。 39考查名词。句意：在澳大利亚，动物的减少可能是一个特别坏的消息，那里有许多在其他地方找不到的特殊动物。根据the可知，应填名词loss作主语，表示\"减少\"。故填loss。 40考查主谓一致。本句为非限制性定语从句修饰先行词Australia，且从句陈述客观事实应用一般现在时，从句中谓语动词与先行词保持一致，故应用第三人称单数。故填is。 41考查不定冠词。句意：科学家们担心森林大火可能会终结一些已经濒临灭绝的动物。固定短语put an end to意为\"终结，终止\"。故填an。

42考查非谓语动词。句意：即使动物幸存下来，它们也很难在大火过后的世界上生存下去。分析句子结构可知，leave在句中应用非谓语动词形式，与逻辑主语world构成被动关系，故应用过去分词作定语。故填left。

43考查连接词。句意：这是因为他们生活的地方和食物来源都被破坏了。固定句型that is because…意为\"这是因为……\"。故填because。

44考查形容词。修饰后文名词areas应用形容词different，表示\"不同的\"。故填different。 45考查固定短语及搭配。句意：岩沙袋鼠通常在丛林大火中幸存下来，但是很难找到足够的食物。固定搭配have difficulty (in) doing sth.意为\"做某事有困难\"。故填finding。

第三部分 写作

第一节

答案：One possible version:

Madame Curie

Madame Curie, a world famous female scientist, was born in a teacher's family in Poland in 1867 and died in 1934.

From her early childhood, she loved to study and hoped to become a great scientist. She finished her middle school at the age of 16. At 24 she left for Paris and entered the University of Paris, where she lived a very simple life and studied very hard. Madame Curie devoted her whole life to the study of science. She won the Nobel Prize for physics in 1903 and for chemistry in 1911.

Madame Curie will always be remembered as a great woman. 第二节 答案： Paragraph 1:

How would she accomplish this huge task? Many kids of her age have a hard time just talking on the phone but talking to strangers is not a problem for Venkat, who says she emails, calls, and talks to business owners in person to ask for donations. From there, volunteers pick up the excess food—everything from bagels to bagged salads to hot entrees—and deliver it to local shelters and food pantries. Paragraph 2:

As much as she has helped others, they've helped her too, she says. Not only does she get a lot of joy and personal satisfaction from her volunteer work but she says running NEST4US has taught her important life skills like time management, public speaking, writing, and leadership. \"What it's really given me is this perspective, of putting other people first,\" she says.
