There is no airport on the island, but there is a longbeach along the east coast. Planes arrive and leave from here.The sand makes unusual shapes. There are hills made of sand called sandblows. Nothing grows on them. They move one or two meters a year from the northwest towards the southeastof the island, getting bigger and bigger. At other places on the island, such as Rainbow Gorge, The Cathedrals and Red Canyon, the sandy rocks have different colors. Sometimes the rocks areso brown that they turn the sea brown, like coffee.Surprisingly, the sandy island has a lot of different plants and animals. There are dark forests﹣eucalyptus woods, beautiful flowers and over a hundred lakes. There are many kinds of birds, like owls and curlews. There are many animals there, too, such as crocodiles, flying foxes and wild dogs called dingoes.About 500,000 people visit the island every year to see the island's beauty and nature. People enjoy camping and hiking（徒步）there. Unluckily，the visitors create problems. They damage plants and frighten animals. Their sun cream（防晒霜）makes the water dirty.

Recently there has been a report about a woman from Australia who can remember almost every detail (细节) of all the events in her daily life.Rebecca Sharrock, 25, is one of just 80 people worldwide who have been identified(确定) as having Highly Superior Autobiographical Memory ( HSAM,超级自传体记忆症). It means she can remember every small event-which most people would forget with in (在......以内) days-as if it had happened just minutes ago.“I remember my mum putting me in the driver’s seat of a car and taking a picture of me when I was 12 days old,” she said. “That’s my earliest memory. I remember every day since then. I can’t tell all the dates exactly because I was too young to understand calendars, but I remember what I did that very day, what the weather was like and so on.”Rebecca can also re-experience taste. If she's eating something that she doesn’t like, she thinks about Black Forest cake, her favorite food, and the memory will be so strong that she can nearly “taste” it.However, sometimes her memories prove (证明) to be painful. Because they’re not just events that she remembers. "When I relive (再体验) memories, the feelings return, too,” Rebecca said. “For example, I remember falling over when I was three at my grandparents’house and hurting my left knee. Talking about it now, I feel painful in my left knee.”“At night, I have to sleep with the radio / recorder and a soft light on,” she added. “1f it's too dark or quiet, my mind would be filled with all these memories and I can't sleep.”51. Which is NOT TRUE about Rebecca?A. She has special memories.B. She is from Australia.C. She is 25 years old.D. She can remember every detail of all the events.52.

What is the result of having HSAM?A. She can remember every event in her daily life.B. She can re-experience taste.C. She can relive feelings.D. All the above.55.

HSAM can greatly improve her living conditions2016－2017学年度上学期初四英语第一次学情检测第四部分 书面表达（共四节）第一节 词汇运用（共两题，计20分）（一）单词拼写（共10小题，计10分）66. The doctor e______________ the patients carefully every day.67.
