Hi Sam,
How are you I’m writing to tell you about my new school. There’s a lot happening this week. I had a school trip yesterday. We practised a short play this morning and had a history test this afternoon.
The food in the dining hall has been good this week. I had dumplings for lunch today. They were delicious!
Why don’t you come over to my school this weekend We’ll have a meeting about the earth and the environment on Saturday morning. After this we can enjoy our school concert and have lunch together. Here is a map for you. After you get off the train, take the road in front of the station. Follow it and you’ll see a chicken farm. Don’t turn left or right. Just go straight and you’ll see a bridge.
Cross the bridge and there you can see a big tree. After you walk past the tree, take the third right turn, and then walk for about 10 minutes. You’ll see my school at the end of the road, next to the river.
Looking forward to seeing you!
Yours,
Kim

Think about a remote control. Something so simple in function is seemingly capable of invisible magic to most of us. Only those with an engineering and electronics background probably have any real idea of why a remote control works. The rest of us just assume it should. And the longer a given technology exists, the more we take it for granted.
Consider for a moment a split screen showing modern remote control users versus the first remote control users: the original users would be carefully aiming the remote directly at the television, reading the names of the buttons to find the right one, and intentionally pressing the button with a force that adds nothing to the effectiveness of the device. The modern users would be leaning on a sofa, pointing the remote any which way, and instinctively feeling for the button they desired, intuiting (凭直觉知道) its size, shape, and position on the remote.
Humans are known for being handy with tools, so it is no surprise that we get so comfortable with our technology. However, as we become increasingly comfortable with how to use new technologies, we become less aware of how they work. Most people who use modern technology know nothing of its underlying science. They have spent neither mental nor financial resources on its development. And yet, rather than be humbled by its originality, we consumers often become unfairly demanding of what our technology should do for us.
Many of the landmark inventions of the twentieth century followed predictable tracks: initial versions of each technology (television, video games, computers, cell phones, etc.) succeeded in impressing the general public. Then, these wonderful new inventions quickly became commonplace. Soon, the focus of consumer attitudes towards them changed from gratitude with respect to discriminating preference.
Televisions needed to be bigger and have a higher resolution. Video games needed to be more realistic. Computers needed to be more powerful yet smaller in size. Cell phones needed to be smaller yet capable of performing other tasks such as taking pictures, accessing the Internet, and even playing movies.
For children of the last twenty years born into this modern life, these technological marvels seem like elements of the periodic table: a given ingredient that is simply part of the universe. Younger generations don’t even try to imagine life without modern conveniences. They do not appreciate the unprecedented (史无前例的) technology that is in their possession; rather, they complain about the ways in which it fails to live up to ideal expectations. “My digital video recorder at home doesn’t allow me to program it from my computer at work.” “It’s taking too long for this interactive map to display on my portable GPS”.
If it sounds as though we’re never satisfied, we aren’t. Of course, our complaints do actually motivate engineers to continually refine their products. After all, at the root of our tool-making instinct is the notion that “there must be a better way.” Thus, the shortcomings of any current version of technology are pinned on the limitations of its designers, and the expectation is that someone, somewhere is working on how to make the existing product even better.
24．The second paragraph is used to illustrate the idea that ________.
A．modern humans do not pay enough attention to instructions
B．remote controls have become far more effective over the years
C．consumer behavior toward new forms of technology changes over time
D．the first consumers of new technology used new devices with ease and comfort
25．The passage states that original users of remote controls likely did all of the following EXCEPT ________.
A．aim the remote directly at the television
B．feel instinctively for the desired button
C．read the names of the buttons carefully
D．use more strength pressing the button than is necessary
26．The author uses the underlined statement in Paragraph 6 most nearly to mean that ________
A．space exploration gives us most of our technology
B．children learn technology while they learn chemistry
C．consumers complain when modern conveniences break down
D．consumers regard many technological inventions as unremarkable
27．The principal tone of the passage can best be described as ________.
A．critical B．sympathetic C．frightened D．satisfied
C
An invasive species (入侵物种) of ant is changing the way lions hunt and eat in Kenya, according to a new study. The species’ arrival has led to a fall in the number of whistling thorn trees, which lions hide behind before they hunt zebras.
The big-headed ant is one of the world’s worst invasive species. This means it is not from the area. The ants arrived in Kenya from southern Africa about 15 years ago, and since then have been attacking the acacia ants—ants that have lived there long ago.
Acacia ants live in and look after the whistling thorn trees that spread over the landscape. In what’s known as a “symbiotic relationship (共生关系)”, the acacia ants feed on the trees and use them for cover. In return, they protect the trees from animals that might eat too much of them, like elephants or giraffes. They do this by moving and attacking together.
Big-headed ants are very aggressive and they eat acacia ants and their eggs. As a result, the number of acacia ants is falling. Big-headed ants don’t protect whistling thorn trees either, so with fewer acacia ants, the trees are in trouble.
Professor Todd Palmer, one of the study’s writers, and his team, found that in areas where big-headed ants appear, elephants destroy (破坏) five to seven times more trees than in areas free from the invaders. This means the landscape is more open and zebras are better able to spot any lion following them. Zebra killed in these areas are three times lower than in tree-filled places.
The good news is that the lion population remains stable (稳定的) because the big cats are looking elsewhere for their lunch—they appear to be hunting buffalo (野牛) instead of zebras. This probably means that the tiny ants have caused lions to change their behaviour too, forcing them to hunt in larger groups for the bigger, heavier buffalo. Professor Palmer said, “We often find it’s the little things that rule the world.”
28．In the “symbiotic relationship”, ________.
A．big-headed ants look after whistling thorn trees
B．acacia ants feed on animals like elephants
C．whistling thorn trees provide cover for acacia ants
D．whistling thorn trees protect acacia ants from animals
29．The underlined word “aggressive” has the closest meaning to “________”.
A．ready to attack B．willing to help
C．easy to grow D．difficult to see
30．According to Paragraphs 4 & 5, which shows the CORRECT order of the changes
① The landscape is more open.
② The number of acacia ants is falling.
③ Whistling thorn trees are in trouble.
④ Fewer zebras are killed in this area.
A．②③④① B．②③①④ C．③②①④ D．③②④①
31．What’s the best title for the text
A．An Invasive Species of Ant
B．Changes of the Whistling Thorn Trees
C．Acacia Ants and Big-headed Ants
D．Tiny Ants Can Change Lions’ Diets
D
When I was 16, my father, in a burst of entrepreneurial spirit, bought an old guesthouse in our village and decided to turn it into a luxury hotel. At the early stages, he experimented with everything. My dad had never dipped a toe into the world of hospitality himself, yet he had a vision of what guests might desire. His standards were exceedingly high and he firmly believed that hard work was the golden ticket to achieving them.
For a month that summer, my name was on the duty list as waitress at breakfast and dinner, which included laying the tables and glass polishing. This gave me the middle of the day to hit the books because my school report had not lived up to my father’s high expectations.
Like all the other waitresses, I was equipped with a neat little uniform and instructions to treat the guests as though they were distinguished guests in my own home. Although I did not feel comfortable with this. I kept my feelings under wraps. Instead, I focused intently on performing the job as well as, if not better than, the older girls.
I soon learned how to handle the two most frightening installations in the kitchen: the dishwasher and the chef, Gordon. He had an impressive chef’s hat and an ability to lose his temper for no clear reason. His breath was strong and fishy, and I always grabbed the dishes he set down with a forbidding expression on my face which was transformed into a charming smile between two battlefields.
Breakfast waitressing was more enjoyable than the dinner shift. The guests came wandering into the dining room from seven thirty onwards, their eyes lighting up at the breathtaking view of the sea and islands framed by our dining-room windows. If the day looked promising, I would note down requests for boats and packed lunches along with their breakfast orders. It was a matter of pride to me that everyone got their order quickly, and I took pleasure in my ability to get on with the people at each table. It was funny how differently people behaved in the evening, dressed up and talking with louder, colder voices, not always returning my smile.
32．How was the writer’s father according to the first paragraph
A．Enterprising and cautious. B．Industrious and caring.
C．Daring and demanding. D．Visionary and sensitive.
33．What did the writer mean by saying “I always grabbed the dishes … a charming smile between two battlefields”
A．She drove Gordon mad because of the way she look the dishes.
B．She forbade Gordon from getting angry as the owner of the hotel.
C．She checked the food Gordon gave her in case it smelled fishy.
D．She adjusted her mood very quickly to better serve the diners.
34．Why did the writer enjoy serving breakfasts more than dinners
A．The splendid daytime scenery lifted her mood.
B．She was delighted establish friendly ties with diners.
C．Distinguished guests were more punctual at breakfast.
D．It was more exciting to cater to challenging requests.
35．What can be learned about the way the writer performed her job
A．She managed to do it better despite several difficulties.
B．She devoted herself to it at the cost of her academic performance.
C．She found all aspects of it enjoyable like the other waitresses.
D．She navigated it effortlessly owing to her self-confidence.

An invasive species (入侵物种) of ant is changing the way lions hunt and eat in Kenya, according to a new study. The species’ arrival has led to a fall in the number of whistling thorn trees, which lions hide behind before they hunt zebras.
The big-headed ant is one of the world’s worst invasive species. This means it is not from the area. The ants arrived in Kenya from southern Africa about 15 years ago, and since then have been attacking the acacia ants—ants that have lived there long ago.
Acacia ants live in and look after the whistling thorn trees that spread over the landscape. In what’s known as a “symbiotic relationship (共生关系)”, the acacia ants feed on the trees and use them for cover. In return, they protect the trees from animals that might eat too much of them, like elephants or giraffes. They do this by moving and attacking together.
Big-headed ants are very aggressive and they eat acacia ants and their eggs. As a result, the number of acacia ants is falling. Big-headed ants don’t protect whistling thorn trees either, so with fewer acacia ants, the trees are in trouble.
Professor Todd Palmer, one of the study’s writers, and his team, found that in areas where big-headed ants appear, elephants destroy (破坏) five to seven times more trees than in areas free from the invaders. This means the landscape is more open and zebras are better able to spot any lion following them. Zebra killed in these areas are three times lower than in tree-filled places.
The good news is that the lion population remains stable (稳定的) because the big cats are looking elsewhere for their lunch—they appear to be hunting buffalo (野牛) instead of zebras. This probably means that the tiny ants have caused lions to change their behaviour too, forcing them to hunt in larger groups for the bigger, heavier buffalo. Professor Palmer said, “We often find it’s the little things that rule the world.”
28．In the “symbiotic relationship”, ________.
A．big-headed ants look after whistling thorn trees
B．acacia ants feed on animals like elephants

When I was 16, my father, in a burst of entrepreneurial spirit, bought an old guesthouse in our village and decided to turn it into a luxury hotel. At the early stages, he experimented with everything. My dad had never dipped a toe into the world of hospitality himself, yet he had a vision of what guests might desire. His standards were exceedingly high and he firmly believed that hard work was the golden ticket to achieving them.
For a month that summer, my name was on the duty list as waitress at breakfast and dinner, which included laying the tables and glass polishing. This gave me the middle of the day to hit the books because my school report had not lived up to my father’s high expectations.
Like all the other waitresses, I was equipped with a neat little uniform and instructions to treat the guests as though they were distinguished guests in my own home. Although I did not feel comfortable with this. I kept my feelings under wraps. Instead, I focused intently on performing the job as well as, if not better than, the older girls.
I soon learned how to handle the two most frightening installations in the kitchen: the dishwasher and the chef, Gordon. He had an impressive chef’s hat and an ability to lose his temper for no clear reason. His breath was strong and fishy, and I always grabbed the dishes he set down with a forbidding expression on my face which was transformed into a charming smile between two battlefields.
Breakfast waitressing was more enjoyable than the dinner shift. The guests came wandering into the dining room from seven thirty onwards, their eyes lighting up at the breathtaking view of the sea and islands framed by our dining-room windows. If the day looked promising, I would note down requests for boats and packed lunches along with their breakfast orders. It was a matter of pride to me that everyone got their order quickly, and I took pleasure in my ability to get on with the people at each table. It was funny how differently people behaved in the evening, dressed up and talking with louder, colder voices, not always returning my smile.
