The Christmas Iturned 16, while decorating the tree with Mama, I18dropped and broke adecoration.

“Your daddy wrote that and 22it in that blue ball during our first Christmas together, justbefore you were born,” she said with a smile. Iwouldn’thave believed it,23the proof there inmy hands. The daddy Iknew always looked upon getting the tree decorated as a chore he

We were quietly observing our wedding anniversary tonight and in the almost deserted mom and pop Italian restaurant there were actually only two other diners, a young couple. He had the look of a hard life already worn into him and it was hard to tell about her because she had her hat pulled far down on her head and was seated with her back to us. We exchanged words and as the conversation unfolded he told us they were heading for NYC after New Year’s Day. We eventually shared that we were celebrating our own anniversary of 43 years, compared to their one month celebration.
From the conversation we learned that in his story lay the truth that he had cared for both his mother and his sister who were in wheelchairs for years due to a terrible disease but passed away not long ago.
It was clear from his words that he was doing his best to turn the corner and his life around. A short while later as we were finishing our meal and the server had dropped our bill on our table, he got up and approached our table and put down two crumpled (皱的)twenty dollar bills and stated they wanted to treat us to our anniversary dinner. We said “No, thank you!” but he insisted. I told him he would need to take back his money and use it in their new life in NYC. Finally he agreed to the money return, and we left wishing each other a happy new year.
As we went to the girl at the register and paid, my husband and I looked at each other and immediately knew what to do—we paid their bill in addition to our own, and then we walked out the door with a smile on our faces.
34. What was the Italian restaurant like?
A. Its business was very dull.
B. It was far from the city.
C. Its service was terrible.
D. It was couple-themed.

B. To show it’ll pay to be kind to others.
C. To call on people to help the young.
D. To prove it’s hard to make a living.

Tourism is often about seeking deeper emotional and personal connections with the world around us. Not all travel experiences, however, need to take place in the real world. With the evolution of virtual reality(VR) technology, tourism will increasingly become a combination of physical and virtual worlds. VR may even remove the need to travel entirely.
But can a VR experience really equal a real world one? Many experts believe it can. Studies have shown that our brains have an inbuilt VR-like mechanism that enables us to live imagined experiences. Much of our waking life is spent thinking about either the past or the future. This is known as" mind wandering". During these events we' re not paying attention to the current world around us. Instead, we' re recalling memories, or creating and processing imagined futures.
When engaged in mind wandering, our brains process these mental images using the same pathways used to receive inputs from the real world. So, the imagined past or future can create emotions and feelings similar to how we react to everyday life. VR can create these same feelings.
While critics might argue that a virtual experience will never match reality, there are several ways VR tourism could make a positive contribution. Firstly it could help protect sensitive locations from over-tourism. In recent years famous sites such as Maya Bay in Thailand, and Cambodia's Angkor Wat Temples have had to limit the number of visitors because of their negative impact. These places are now producing their own VR experiences
that will allow tourists to pass through virtual models of the sites.
Virtual reality may also allow people back in time, to experience historical events, visit ancient cities, and even to walk among dinosaurs.
Finally, in a world where many people suffer from stress and depression due to overwork, virtual tourism may provide a cheap and convenient way for people to take brief holidays to otherwise unreachable destinations and recharge their batteries, without ever leaving their homes.
It sounds like science fiction but it's already happening. As virtual technology improves and as people continue to demand new and interesting experiences, expect more virtual tourism, both in combination with the real world and instead of it.
38.What is driving the development of virtual tourism?
A. Companies seeking to make more money.
B. Improvements in virtual reality technology.
C. People's demand for more shared experiences.
D. People's deeper understanding of the physical world.
39.Which of the following best describes "mind wandering"?
A. The brain processes which help people think VR is real.
B. The way the brain processes inputs from the real world.
C. Brain activities focusing on past or future events.
D. Experiences coming from a person's imagination.
40.What does the underlined word "it" in the last paragraph refer to?
A. Science fiction.
B. Virtual technology.
C. Virtual tourism.
D. The real world.
41.What is the purpose of the passage?
A. To describe the advantages of VR tourism.
B. To give suggestions for reducing over-tourism.
C. To encourage people to develop VR technology.
D. To argue VR tourism will replace the real world travel.
D
Both honeybees and ants are social insects that live in groups called colonies. They survive by means of their collective intelligence. Their decision-making power is distributed throughout the group; that is, no one ant or bee makes decisions for the group. Instead, they work together. As Deborah M. Gordon,a biologist at Stanford University, says," Ants aren't smart. Ant colonies are."
The same is true for bee colonies. Although bees and ants are quite different physically, they have a lot in common in terms of their social behavior. Specifically, honeybees and ants have similar roles within the colony, both have communication systems, and both have the capacity for learning.
Ants communicate by using chemicals called pheromones, which can alert others to danger or to a food source. For example, when worker ants find a promising source, they let the rest of the colony know how to find it by leaving a trail of pheromones on the way back to
the colony. The other ants pick up the message using their sense of smell. Bees, on the other hand, use movement to communicate with each other. Worker bees send messages to each other by means of a "dance". Different speeds and movements send different messages. For example, when worker bees called scouts go out to find a new home for the colony, they return and do a dance for the other worker bees that indicates the location of the new home and how suitable it is. The faster the scouts dance, the better the new location is.
Honeybees and ants are both capable of learning. One Chinese study found that bees can be trained to learn and remember a route to a food source. The researchers also found that bees can be taught to recognize hidden objects and use the concepts of "sameness" and" difference"to accomplish certain tasks. Ants take this one step further. Recent American research has shown that ants not only have the ability to learn, but also can teach their foraging skills to other younger ants.
They observed that older ants accompany young ants in search of food and teach them the route and how to avoid obstacles.
As we can see, the social behavior of honeybees and ants is quite similar. Both coordinate complex actions and accomplish crucial survival tasks by cooperating in groups consisting of many individuals. Unintelligent as they may be as individuals, as groups they often show amazing brilliance as they go about their everyday activities.
42.What do ants and bees have in common?
A. They live in similar-sized colonies.
B. They make use of collective intelligence.
C. They have small leadership groups that make all decisions.
D. They use the same methods to communicate with each other.
43.What does the speed of a bee's dance indicate?
A. The quality of a new colony location.
B. The distance to a neighboring colony.
C. The discovery of a new food source.
D. The direction to a potential food source.
44.In paragraph 3.how does the author demonstrate the idea that Honeybees and ants are both capable of learning ?
A. By using statistics.
B. By explaining reasons.
C. By referencing opinions.
D. By presenting study findings.
35.What is the benefit of collective intelligence?
A. It allows the colony to reproduce more rapidly.
B. It improves work cooperation within the colony.
C. It reduces the division of labour among members.
D. It enables individuals to teach each other new skills.

第一节（15分）
One possible version:
It is increasingly popular for parents to send their kids to have international study tours recently.Indeed, it does bring great benefits to high school students. It will not only broaden their horizons, but also enrich their experiences. They can learn about new culture and meet new friends, which can improve their ability to communicate with others.
However, it takes parents a lot money to send their kids abroad.And students often pay more attention to travelling than learning. So some people say it is a waste of money.Personally, I think it is such a good opportunity for high school students that it can help them develop an international outlook and learn to be independent. So high school students should be encour-aged to go on international study tours if their parents can afford it.
