Since then, our staff have received lots of calls from parents asking for more information about it. Here is a memo (备忘录) for your reference when you answer the phones. Sports 1 : BasketballWe expect that this will be the most popular of the four sports. Therefore, students should be advised to sign up as soon as possible. Students will take a private bus to and from Kwun Tong Sports Park. To cover the cost of hiring a bus, each student will have to pay $10 each time. There will be four basketball courts available for our use with one teacher watching over each game. Sports 2: GymWe will be using St. Peter’s Memorial Park. There are two reasons for choosing this park. First, it is not very busy and crowded before 6:00 pm. Second, it has lots of trees with plenty of shade. Students must bring along two bottles of water to prevent thirst. Tenactivities, skipping, baseball, dive, shoot, badminton, bowling, boxing, cycling, jogging, outdoor aerobics (有氧运动), all of which are free of charge, will be arranged. And there will be a teacher on duty for each of the activities. Sports 3: HikingHiking (远足) will take place at Kowloon Peak. The activity will start at 2:30 pm and finish 90 minutes later.

Students are advised to bring plenty of water and sunscreen. Sports 4: SwimmingThe Kowloon City Aquatic Centre is a 10-minute walk from our school. Fourteachers will go to the pool and conduct the goings-on from the poolside. We will only be able to reserve the pool for one hour (i. e. 2:45 pm to 3:45 pm).

I had two cats that I adored like children, but I still wanted the company of a dog. Then unfortunately I lost my cats. Soon came another shock that my husband left me forever because of lung cancer. I felt I had just lost everything that ever mattered to me.I voiced these feelings to a friend, who took me to a pet store. The store was holding an adoption day with shelters. I looked at and held several puppies (小狗)，wondering which to choose. Then I met Maggie. She looked at me with the saddest eyes I had ever seen, then laid her head on my shoulder and slept. I immediately decided to save her!Maggie adjusted well. I, however, was still adjusting. One night, thoughts of losing everything rushed through my head again. So depressed was I that I felt the only solution was to end my life. With a bottle of medicine in one hand and Maggie on my lap, I took the pills. Through my tear-filled eyes I looked down at Maggie to tell her I was sorry. The look on her face I will never be able to explain. It looked as if her eyes said, “Don’t leave me; I need you just as you needed me.” It was then that I ran to the bathroom to vomit up the pills. The rest of the night I sat on the couch holding Maggie and thanking her for saving me.Since that night I have had a love for her that I never knew possible. She never leaves my side when I am at home. She has taught me to smile and laugh. Together with Maggie, I feel I can get through anything.25．The author got Maggie from _________.A．a friend B．her husband C．a pet store D．an adoption center 26．The underlined phrase “vomit up” can be replaced by _________.A．throw up B．take up C．pick up D．break up27．Why did the author feel depressed?A．Because her husband had taken her cats away.B．Because she had lost everything important to her.C．Because she couldn’t adjust to living with Maggie.D．Because she couldn’t find any solution to her problem.28．What can be a suitable title for the text?A．My favourite pet dog.

Many people liked to listen to him talk because he liked to tell some interesting stories to make people laugh all the time.One day Mark Twain was going to a small town because of his writing. Before he was going to leave, one of his friends said to him that there were always a lot of mosquitoes in the town and told him that he’d better not go there. Mark Twain waved (摇动) his hand and said, “It doesn’t matter. The mosquitoes are no relatives of mine. I don’t think they will come to visit me.”After he arrived at the town, Mark Twain stayed in a small hotel near the station. He went into his room, but when he was just about to have a rest, quite a few mosquitoes flew about him. The waiters felt very sorry about that. “I’m very sorry, Mr Ma rk Twain. There are too many mosquitoes in our town.” One of them said to him.Mark Twain, however, made a joke, saying to the waiter, “The mosquitoes are very clever. They know my room number. They didn’t come into the wrong room.” What he said made al l the people present laugh heartily.But that night Mark Twain slept well. Do you know why?

This means the grains will have more starch while the root will exude less nutrients that will later be turned into methane by microbes (微生物) in the soil, Sun, who works with Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, told Xinhua.“It solves two major problems mankind faces at one time: environmental degradation and the need for increased grain output,”Wang Feng, another scientist, said, adding that the rice can cut methane discharge by more than90 percent during summer and more than half during autumn, as “the rice displaysa greater emission reduction effect in high temperatures.”Meanwhile, small-scale trials have also suggested an increased output: a single plant of the new breed has 300 more grains with a starch content 10 percent higher. Wang said the team is working on applications for the rice in different areas, seasons and using different farming techniques. “It’s still far away from mass application, but at least we see the light of hope.”Human-induced methane, though less abundant than carbon dioxide in the air, is responsible for 20 percent of the global warming effect. Rice paddies are the largest single source of methane linked to human activity. According to the Ministry of Agriculture, China produces 209 million tons of rice in 2014, or 28 percent of the world’s total of 734 million.33．SUSIBA2 Rice will be a major breakthrough because______.A．it tastes with a barley flavor.B．it well balances environmental protection and grains increase.C．it contains more starch than the ordinary rice.D．it gives off less methane in summer than in winter.34．What can we learn from the text?A．Scientists will soon grow the new rice in large areas.B．Human-related methane contributes most to global warming.C．China may contribute greatly to global warming reduction.D．Rice fields will be reduced all over the world.35．The purpose of this writing is to________.A．ask people to cut down on their dependence on rice consumption.B．draw people’s attention to the serious consequences of global warming. C．introduce a new kind of genetically-modified rice and its possible benefits. D．indicate human-related methane alone is to blame for global warming effects.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
