Say “Hong Kong” and “great swimming” aren't exactly the first thing that leap to mind. Shopping, sure, but swimming pools? Turns out, along with all its other attractions, Hong Kong is loaded with picturesque pools.
The Ritz－Carlton
The pool at the Ritz－Carlton is breathtaking, thanks to the view, the altitude and, of course, the swim. On the 118th floor at 484 metres above the street in the tallest building in Hong Kong, it's the world’s highest swimming pool. The ceiling and walls are made up of 144 LED screens displaying coral reefs and other natural scenes.

The pool protrudes from the hotel, allowing people below to see swimmers and the swimmers to do laps while checking out the traffic below. The pool is smaller compared to other local grand hotels and only available to the hotel guests.

On April 14th, 2010, my entire life changed in an instant. One moment I was joyfully riding through the sunshine. The next moment, metal, flesh and bone were spreading against the pavement in a thunderous crash. Another cyclist, biking carelessly, had cut me off and sent me supermanning toward oncoming traffic.
As if to symbolize the accident that had hit my life, another disaster also occurred on April 14th, 2010. It cost the airline industry ＄l.7 billion. Ten million travelers were stuck for days. Economies all over the world were disturbed. This was the eruption of Eyjafjallajokull, one of Iceland’s many volcanoes.
However, volcanoes are not all bad. In fact, they are necessary. They are responsible for the birth of new earth, and for the creation of rich soil. This eruption gave off 0.15 million tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere daily. But cancelling 48% of the world’s flight travel saved about 2.8 million tons of CO2 from entering the atmosphere，temporarily decreasing our carbon footprint.
Similarly, the accident had badly affected my emotion but it also allowed me to look more closely inside myself and discover things about myself I never would have realized. I learned how not to judge myself for my new limitations.
In 1973, another Icelandic volcano, Eldfell, broke out. Icelanders decided to bomb it with cold water until it froze and chose a different path. After their plan worked，they used the geothermal (地热) energy for the next 15 years to heat their homes. A good example of life bringing lemons, and making lemonade! One must move on from misfortunes, focusing only on the present moment and being hopeful for the future.
I ran from April 14th, 2010, to every kind of escape. Eventually I ended up in university for a new-found love in Earth sciences.
25.What happened to the writer on April 14th, 2010?
A. He was involved in a car crash.
B. He was stuck in Iceland’s airport.
C. He witnessed a volcanic eruption.
D. He was badly injured on a bike ride.
26.Which was an effect of the eruption of Eyjafjallajokull?
A. Economy was influenced globally by the eruption.
B. Carbon dioxide was increased temporarily.
C. The earth in Ireland was terribly polluted.
D. Most of the world’s planes were held up.
27.Why did the writer mention the Eldfell volcano?
A. It broke out in Iceland on April 14th as well.
B. It symbolized the accident that changed his life.
C. It encouraged him to know more about himself.
D. It told him to make the most of given situation.
28. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Inspiration from Disasters
B. Escape from Volcanoes
C. Love for Earth Science
D. Attitude towards Nature
C
Across Britain, burnt toast will be served to mothers in bed this morning as older sons and daughters rush to deliver their supermarket bunches of flowers. But, according to a new study, we should be placing a higher value on motherhood all year.
Mothers have long known that their home workload was just as heavy as paid work. Now, the new study has shown that if they were paid for their parental labours, they would earn as much as ￡172,000 a year.
The study looked at the range of jobs mothers do, as well as the hours they are working, to determine the figure. This would make their yearly income ￡30,000 more than the Prime Minister earns.
By analyzing the numbers, it found the average mother works 119 hours a week, 40 of which would usually be paid at a standard rate and 79 hours as overtime. After questioning 1,000 mothers with children under 18, it found that, on most
days, mums started their routine work at 7 am and finished at around 11 pm.
To calculate just how much mothers would earn from that labour, it suggested some of the roles that mums could take on, including housekeeper, part-time lawyer, personal trainer and entertainer. Being a part-time lawyer, at ￡48.98 an hour, would prove to be the most profitable of the “mum jobs”, with psychologist(心理学家) a close second.
It also asked mothers about the challenges they face, with 80 percent making emotional (情感的) demand the hardest thing about motherhood.
Over a third of mums felt they needed more training and around half said they missed going out with friends.
The study shows mothers matter all year long and not just on Mother’s Day. The emotional, physical and mental energy mothers devote to their children can be never-ending, but children are also sources of great joy and happiness. Investing(投人) in time for parenting and raising relationships is money well spent.
29.How much does a Prime Minister earn, according to the passage?
A. ￡30,000.
B. ￡142,000
C. ￡172,000
D. ￡202,000
30. The biggest challenge for most mothers is from_____________.
A. emotional demand
B. low pay for work
C. heavy workload
D. lack of training
31. What is stressed in the last paragraph?
A. Mothers’ importance shows in family all year long.
B. The sacrifices mothers make are huge but worthwhile.
C. Mothers’ devotion to children can hardly be calculated.
D. Investing time in parenting would bring a financial return.
32. What can we conclude from the study?
A. Mothers’ working hours should be largely reduced.
B. Mothers should balance their time for work and rest.
C. Mothers’ labour is of a higher value than it is realized.
D. Mothers should be freed from housework for social life.
D
Technology offers conveniences such as opening the garage door from your car or changing the television station without touching the TV.
Now one American company is offering its employees a new convenience: a microchip implanted in their hands. Employees who have these chips can do all kinds of things just by waving their hands. Three Square Market is offering to implant microchips in all of their employees for free. Each chip costs $300 and Three Square Market will pay for the chip. Employees can volunteer to have the chips implanted in their hands. About 50 out of 80 employees have chosen to do so. The president of the company, his wife and their children are also getting chips implanted in their hands.
The chip is about the size of a grain of rice. Implanting the chip only takes about a second and is said to hurt only very briefly. The chips go under the skin between the thumb and forefinger. With a chip in the hand, a person can enter the office building, buy food, sign into computers and more, simply by waving that hand near a scanner. The chips will be also used to identify employees. Employees who want convenience, but do not want to have a microchip implanted under their skin, can wear a wristband（腕带）or a ring with a chip instead. They can perform the same tasks with a wave of their hands as if they had an implanted chip.
Three Square Market is the first company in the United States to offer to implant chips in its employees. Epicenter, a company in Sweden, has been implanting chips in its employees for a while.
Three Square Market says the chip cannot track the employees. The company says scanners can read the chips only when they are within a few inches of them. “The chips protect against identity theft, similar to credit cards.” The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved the chips back in 2004, so they should be safe for humans, according to the company.
In the future, people with the chips may be able to do more with them, even outside the office. Todd Westby is Chief Executive Officer of Three Square Market. He says, “Eventually, this technology will become standardized allowing you to
use this as your passport, public transit, all purchasing opportunities, etc.”
33.What is the third paragraph mainly about?
A. The substitutes of the chips.
B. The potential risks of implanting the chips.
C. The places to implant the chips.
D. The advantages of the chips.
34. We can infer that .
A. the chips have magic powers
B. the price of the chips is reasonable
C. the chips are very popular among the employees
D. most people suspect the application of the chips
35. Which of the following best describes Todd Westby's attitude towards the chips?
A. Defensive.
B. Disappointing.
C. Casual.
D. Optimistic.

Little Habits Make a Big Difference
Everything around us is changing at amazing speed, it seems---but some things will always remain the same. 36 Some of our daily habits have the power to always give us happiness and lead toward success. Here are some little habits that can make a big difference:
1. 37 Many studies have linked early rising with success. An early morning wake-up carries benefits including better planning and anticipation(预料)of problems, and more time to the things that make you happy.
2. Happiness comes to those who are curious. 38 As long as you live, there will always be something to learn, and as long as you follow your heart and your passions, you won’t miss out on learning.
3. Believe in yourself and all that you are. 39 Confidence is the key to success—the thing that lets you look at the past without regret, stay grounded in the present, and prepare for the future without fear.
4. A day well spent gets you a good night sleep. Enough sleep makes you feel healthier and happier, and it’s more than lifting up you or removing exhaustion(疲
惫). Adequate sleep is a key part of your health and inner happiness. 40 It doesn’t take a huge effort to make a significant change in your life---using one or two tiny habits may be all you need. Get started today and you’ll soon be experiencing the rewards.
A. That’s why habits are so powerful.
B. The ground work of all happiness is good health.
C. Early to rise makes you healthy, wealthy, and wise.
D. The habit of respect means treating everyone with kindness.
E. Nothing will ever make you happier than having faith in yourself.
F. When you rest better, you can live better and achieve more happiness
G. There is no stage in life when we can’t be learning something valuable

Last week we held a discussion on which we should do for our school before we graduate. The students in our class have different suggestion. Some students thought that we can collect money to buy some books for the school library or
everything else for the s chool. Others students think that it’s not necessary to spend money. We can study hard and make our school feeling proud of us.
In my opinion, we don’t have to spend money. We can do something meaningfully without money. For an example, we can do some volunteer work to beautify the school or try to get better results in the coming exams so that our school will take pride us.
