An adventure in Africa Focus 30th June
Dear Aihua,
How are you? Sorry I haven't written for so long. I've been quite busy
arranging my holiday with my older brother, Colin. Colin and I plan to
spend a few weeks traveling before he goes to university. We're going
to visit so many exciting places and do lots of extraordinary things.
We will go to Africa first. I can't wait! Have you been there?
We leave London on 15th July, and we'll be taking a flight to Morocco,
in northern Africa. We're going to ride camels through the Sahara Desert.
It's the biggest desert in the world—about the size of the US! I expect
it will be very hot, dry and dusty there. We'll be traveling by camel,
with local guides, camping in tents and sleeping on the ground. I've
heard that, in the Sahara, there is no shade during the day, and the
stars seem especially brilliant on clear nights. I’ll bring a
flashlight with me so that I'll be able to see in the dark. Altogether,
the trip will take six days. That means I'll have to sit on a camel for
almost a week—how uncomfortable! I hope my camel likes me!
After the trip by camel, we're going to travel down the River Nile. We'll
start at Lake Victoria. A little way down the river from Lake Victoria,
the water actually gets quite rough. So, we'll go white-water rafting.
It's quite dangerous, but very exciting! You have to wear a helmet and
a life jacket for protection, just in case you fall into the water.
Then, we're going on a trip to see wild animals in Kenya. We'll live
with the local people in their villages, and eat and drink whatever they
do, including cow's blood! Do you think I should drink it?
Since we'll be walking for almost two weeks, I'll need to buy a large
backpack in advance to carry my supplies of food and water. During the
day, we'll walk across the land, following the tracks of wildlife such
as elephants, lions and giraffes. We'll try to get as close as possible
to the animals, even though they're dangerous, so that I can take some
really good photographs. But don't worry about me. Our guides will have
guns with them for defense—They can use the guns to scare the animals
away if they come too near. I really want to see an elephant up close.
Colin wants to see a giraffe.
After that, we'll be moving on to Tanzania, where we're going to climb
Mount Kilimanjaro. Mountain climbing can be very tiring, and many people
feel sick as the atmosphere gets thinner, so Colin and I will make sure
that we will get plenty of rest. The African part of our trip will take
about four weeks. Afterwards, we're going to the Himalayas.
I send you postcards from all the different places we visit!
Love,
Toby

2010福建卷A 篇
F. Scott Fitzgerald, born on September 24, 1896, an American novelist, was once a student of St. Paul Academy, the Newman School and attended Princeton University for a short while. In 1917 he joined the army and was posted in Alabama, where he met his future wife Zelda Sayre. Then he had to make some money to impress her.
His life with her was full of great happiness, as he wrote in his diary: “My own happiness in the past often approached such joy that I could share
it even with the person dearest to me but had to walk it away in quiet streets
and take down parts of it in my diary.”
This side of paradise, his first novel, was published in 1920. Encouraged by its success, Fitzgerald began to devote more time to his writing. Then he continued with the novel the Beautiful and Damned (1922), a collection of short stories Thales of the Jazz Age (1922), and a play The Vegetable (1923). But his greatest success was The Great Gatsby, published in 1925, which quick brought him praise from the literary world. Yet it failed to give him the needed financial security. Then, in 1926, he published another collection of short stories All the Sad Young Men.
However, Fitzgerald’s problems with his wife Zelda affected his writing. During the 1920s he tried to reorder his life, but failed. By 1930, his wife had her first breakdown and went to a Swiss clinic. During this period he completed novels Tender Is the Night in 1934 and The love of the last Tycoon in 1940. While his wife was in hospital in the United States, he got totally addicted to alcohol. Sheila Graham, his dear friend, helped him fight his alcoholism.
57. Which of the following is the correct order to describe Fitzgerald’s life according to the passage?
a. He became addicted to drinking.
b. He studied at St. Paul Academy.
c. He published his first novel This Side of Paradise.
d. The Great Gatsby won high prais

A few years ago, Paul Gerner began to gather a group of architects in Las vegas to ask them what it would take to design a public school that used 50 percent less energy, cost much less to build and obviously improved student learning.”I think h alf of then fell off their chairs,” Gerner says.
Gerner manages school facilities （设施）for Clark county, Nevada, a district roughly the size of Massachusetts. By 2020,143,000 additional students will enter the already crowded public-education system. Gerner needs 73 new schools to house them. Four architecture teams have nearly finished designing primary school prototypes(样品); They plan to construct their schools starting in 2009. The district will then assess how well the schools perform, and three winners will copy those designs in 50 to 70 new buildings.
Green schools are appearing all over, but in Clark County, which stands out for its vastness, such aggressive targets are difficult because design requirements like more natural light for students go a gainst the realities of a desert climate. ”One of the biggest challenges is getting the right site orientation（朝向）,” Mark McGinty, a director at SH Architecture, says. His firm recently completed a high school in Las Vegas. “You have the same building, sa me set of windows, but if its orientation is incorrect and it faces the sun, it will be really expensive to cool.”
Surprisingly, the man responsible for one of re most progressive green-design competitions has doubts about ideas of eco-friendly buildings. ”I don’t believe in the new green religion,” Gerner says.”Gerner says.” Some of the building technologies that you get are impractical. I’m interested in those that work.”But he wouldn’t mind if some green features inspire students. He says he hopes to set up green energy systems that allow them to learn about the process of harvesting wind and solar power.”You never know what’s going to start the interest of a child to study math and science,” he says.
64. Which order of steps is followed in carrying out the project?
A. Assessment－Prototype－Design－Construction.
B. Assessment－Design－Prototype－Construction.
C. Design－Assessment－Prototype－Construction.
D. Design－Prototype－Assessment－Construction.

Are you tired of seeing the same view out of your window? Do you wish you could travel and see beautiful places all over the world? In this section, you are going to do some research and make a travel leaflet for a place you want to visit.
Shangri-la
Would you like the chance to discover a place of mystery and beauty in the south-west of China? If your answer is “yes”, consider a trip to Shangri-la!
How to get there
Start in the city of Dali and drive northwards along the Yunnan-Tibet Highway until you reach Zhongdian (Shangri-la), the capital of Diqing. Zhongdian is 659 kilometers away from Kunming, and there are regular flight s between the two cities.
The world-famous Chinese Shangri-la
The word 'Shangri-la' first appeared in a classic novel by James Hilton. Today, Shangri-la becomes a common English word meaning haven on earth. Hilton described a beautiful kingdom where three rivers joined together, steep mountains reached to the sky, and fields of long grass covered the earth. In this perfect world lived people who had discovered how to stay young forever.
Which place could officially take the n ame of this wonderful land? There were arguments over which tourist spot would win the name of Shangri-la. Many years after the book was published, some people realized that the Shangri-la of the novel was a perfect match for Zhongdian in Yunnan Province, China. In September 1997, the government of Yunnan Province announced that Zhongdian was the Shangri-la of Hilton's story.
What you will see in Shangri-la
Three mountains, Meili, Baimang and Haba, which are covered with snow, tower over the land. Their snowy mountaintops form a beautiful picture that will leave you at a loss for words.
Below the mountains, the sunshine reflects on the many lakes, making them shine like diamonds against the rich countryside. Sheep, cattle and horses wander on the green grass, and the surrounding forests are home to many birds and animals. In this peaceful land, people live in perfect harmony with nature, far away from the noisy and worry of the outside world.
Nature has provided Shangri-la with endless natural treasures, making the land a happy home for the local people.
What the weather is like
The weather changes so quickly that people say you can experience four seasons in one day. The best times to visit Shangri-la are spring and autumn when the temperature is at its mildest.
