21．（6分）Watching wooden dolls come to life may not be one of the most popular forms of entertainment today, but with over twenty years’ experience, talented puppeteer (木偶表演者) Peter Roberts has earned himself the title “master puppeteer” because of his great ability to turn puppets into believable, almost living characters. “People are quite often surprised to hear what I do for a living and have little appreciation of puppy as a form of entertainment. But while the exact origins of puppet theatre are unknown, it has been popular in many cultures and may have been the very first kind of theatre,” he explains.
Roberts’ shows are highly original. “A puppet show can involve anything from clowning(傻逗) to storytelling,” he says. Equally diverse are the audiences he perform s for. “Some are attracted by the puppets themselves, while others enjoy the dialogue.” Roberts believes that this form of entertainment can be appreciated by people of all ages and cultures.
Roberts’ interest in puppets started when he received some beaut iful glove puppets one Christmas. He started putting on shows with these for family and friends and then moved on to handmade Chinese string puppets. Learning mostly from books and personal experience, he explains, “I was already spending most of my free t ime carving puppets and putting on shows, so I hardly noticed the change from students to full-time professional puppeteer.”
The puppets are designed specifically for each show, which is extremely time consuming. According to Roberts, “Sometimes what you e xpect and what you actually create in the end are two very different things. I’ve made some of my best puppets
‘accidentally’.”
When most people hear the word “puppetry”, they more than likely think of a way of keeping children entertained at birthday parties. Certainly the subject matter will be expected to be light-hearted rather than serious. However, Roberts wants to point out that puppets convey serious messages sometimes.” he says.
1、What do we know about puppetry in the first paragraph?
A．It is a most popular form of entertainment.
B．It cannot give people pleasure any more.
C．It was first brought to life by Peter Roberts.
D．Its value as an art form is not fully recognized.
2、In Roberts’ eyes, his puppet shows.
A．usually attract people full of humor
B．are most something for old aged audience
C．display something meaningful for different people
D．involve hard work and great intelligence
3、Roberts developed an interest in puppets because of .
A．the puppet show books B．his university major
C．a Christmas gift D．some Chinese string puppets
4、What does Roberts want people to think of puppet theatre?
A．It is just a kind of entertainment for kids.
B．It can be educational as well as entertaining.
C．It is only a kind of serious art form.
D．It should be kept light-hearted.
22．（8分）The first six months I was married, I truly wanted to scream and pull my hair out. My husband and I really had some all-out battles about his parents (regarding finances, where we would live, religious issues, etc.). Unfortunately, he was completely oblivious to how I felt or that anything was truly wrong. When I was going through all
of this with my husband, I really felt so alone. I thought I was crazy/selfish to feel that way and often blamed myself. At first, I call ed him a Mama’s Boy and told him I felt
like I was a low priority to him. This, of course, did not go over well... so I changed my direction.
I’ve been married for three years now, and Jenna’s book played a big role in gaining my husband’s loyalty. I start ed out by making a decision that I would not berate (责怪) my husband for his family’s actions. After all, he can’t help what his relatives do, and to blame him for other people’s actions wouldn’t really be fair. Secondly, I made a resolution that I would NEVER let them create an argument or problem between my husband and me... this was really a groundbreaking moment for me. After all, it was in my power to control what items became issues in my marriage. I wouldn’t allow petty stuff his family did to upset our balance... that would just give them more power, control,
and influence. This took a lot of time, but once my husband realized that I was taking the high road, he started listening to me more.
I promised “for better or for worse” and I decided not to le t my in-laws make it worse. As a new bride, I had no idea what I was in for in terms of family management, and even now I take time to re-read certain sections from Jenna’s book periodically. It is taking time and patience to gain my husband’s loyalty, and it’s an ongoing process —but I think it’s well worth it.
1、What can be learned from the first paragraph?
A．The writer agreed with her mother/father-in-law in religion.
B．The writer felt really happy the first six months she was married.
C．Money might be no problem for the writer’s family.
D．Her husband didn’t care about her so much as expected.
2、Which of the following column names best suits the passage?
A．A method of sound income and environment for employees.
B．An inspiration of happy marriage forever for gentlemen.
C．A source of hope and encouragement for wives.
D．Interesting stories about family relationships.
3、What does the underlined “that” refer to in the 2nd paragraph?
A．Allowing petty stuff. B．Blaming her husband.
C．Creating an argument. D．Upsetting their balance.
4、What is the author’s attitude toward Jenna’s book?
A．Critical. B．Objective.
C．Suspicious. D．Appreciative.

World Elephant Day was created in 2011 by two Canadian filmmakers Patricia Sims and Thailand’s Elephant Reintroduction Foundation and was first celebrated on August 12, 2012. They made the documentary Return to the Forest, a fascinating 30 minute film about the reintroduction of caught Asian elephants to the wild.
Currently, the demand for ivory（象牙）is becoming bigger and bigger, whose price is higher than that of gold, making elephants bigger targets than ever. Habitation loss is also a danger to the world’s elephant population as it robs elephants of the hundreds of pounds of food they need every day, making it more difficult for them to breed and making it easier for hunters to track them down. Circuses and tourism are also serious threats to the animals’ well-being.
The best way to celebrate this day is to take the opportunity to educate yourself about these magnificent（巨大的）mammals and share your knowledge with others. As ever, simply spreading the word about the dangers these magnificent mammals face via social media can actually make a real change. Expose that “training” elephants often involves tying and beating them daily for months on end. If you want to get a bit more involved, you could choose to make a donation to a foundation dedicated to protecting elephants from hunters or relocating them to locations better suited to their needs.
Whichever way suits you best, make sure that you spend this day in a way that helps elephants all over the world, so we, in turn, can continue to wonder at them and their uniquely fascinating way of life.
1、What is the main purpose of World Elephant Day?
A．To collect donations for elephants.
B．To do researchers on elephants’ life.
C．To protect the elephants from extinction.
D．To make films about all kinds of elephants.
2、Which of the following is the biggest threat to elephants?
A．Human being.
B．Severe climate.
C．Natural environment.
D．Limited food resource.
3、What does the author advise doing to celebrate World Elephant Day? A．Watching the elephant shows.
B．Making your own films about elephants.
C．Appealing to focus on elephant protection.
D．Traveling to Thailand to ride trained elephants.
4、According to the text, what is the best way to protect elephants?
A．Supplying enough food for elephants.
B．Catching and raising elephants in the cages.
C．Replacing elephants in suitable wild habitations.
D．Attracting elephants to live together with human beings.

Guest Reviews (4)
Palp from Vancouver ★★★☆☆
Great one hour stop at the Suspension Bridge. The salmon bake in Liarsville was the best part! It was a buffet of UNLIMITED salmon that was being freshly cooked over an open fire. Overall good excursion, just a little too expensive for what it is.
Dragon from Los Angles ★★★★☆
Did this on May 1, 2019. Our guide, Glenn, was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable, keeping us entertained all the way by making jokes and explaining the history of the landmarks. There were only 12 people, so we all had window seats!! The views were GREAT! Took lots of pics.
Plutocrat from Edmonton ★★★★★
Enjoyed the drive, enjoyed the fees and enjoyed Liarsville, where the food was AMAZING. Can't believe how much we enjoyed walking across the suspension bridge.
Rod from Regina★★☆☆☆
“To the Summit” gives the impression you are going to the big summit. This was not the case. The summit in question was just a small hill. The views at the suspension bridge are ok but not incredible. The lunch at Liarsville was not bad, though, and that stop was best of the day.150、Which of the following shows the correct touring order in the excursion?
A．Skagway →Suspension Bridge → Klondike Gold Rush
B．Liarsville Trail Camp →Klondike Highway→Tutshi River

She spoke about the her culture values their elders, and she explained that children are from the time of birth to respect and people older than themselves.

When her father was able to return to his full-time job, he took all those disability that were sent to him while he was recovering and handed them back to the . He told them that he had two good legs and arms, and did not need this money. He told them to give the money to people who could not work, to people who needed it.
The woman telling the story was a little girl at that time. She had her father that very day when he went back to his company all those unopened checks. "My father is my hero," she . Lowering her voice, she said she would never forget what he did, and what an and influential mentor(导师) he was on how to live a life.
From my communication with her, it was that her father's same sweet spirit had been to this woman, and to her family. Hearing this story was so
refreshing to my soul. I hope it is for you too.

29、Recently our class held a heated discussion about whether our parents should be allowed to see our Moments.
There are 30% of the students who are for it. the reasons are as follows: Firstly, as teenagers, we need our parents’ guidance especially in terms of social experience. Secondly, Without parents’ involvement, the generation gap between our parents and us may tend to become bigger and bigger. Instead, parents’ involvement can lead to better communication and a closer relationship between parents and children.
However, 70% of the students argue against it. For one thing, we hold the view that everyone needs some privacy. If parents are allowed to see our Moments, we won’t have our own secrets. For another thing, the Moments of WeChat is mainly a way of communicating with friends of our own age. If our parents are allowed to see it, we can’t share our thoughts with our friends freely.
In my opinion, it is meaningful to let parents see our Moments, which makes them happy and stops them from worrying about me. Besides, our parents feel like seeing our Moments, which shows their care and love for us.。
