    In March 2014,Australiaopened junior high education to Chi?nese students,allowing them to study in Australian schools from sev?enth grade.

    Australia will see a rise in the number of Chinese junior and senior high school students studying in ihe country. Tian showed the reasons for h: lower admission (人學(xué)許可) requirements and low- cost education because of a favorable exchange rale (費(fèi)率)Accord?ing to Tian,in public schools in Australia.， student should pay A $13,000 to A $15,000 ( $10,000 to $12,000) a year.

Passage 12(2011黑龍江哈爾濱，A) 

    Venice is an attractive city in Italy.Tourists throughoul ihe world love traveling to Venice. But sometimes you’ll have such strange expe- riences.One moment you walk across tlie Rialto Bridge ,and there ’s  nothing speoial.Unfortunately,when you come back to the bridge an hour later,it’s underwater and everyone's wearing rain hoots.

    That?s just the way it has always been,which may be considered seriously by Italian government. Before the sea comes to Venice,the government has decided to build the MOSE gates. Actually (實(shí)際上) , there were many kinds of gates that were built to stop the floods,hut all the gates were just built on the ground. Besides,the flooding was becoming worse. Industrial (工業(yè)的) factories buill nearby on the mainland also made the condition get worse,causing the city to sink about 0. 75 feet in the 20th century.

    So the Italian government asked some of Italy's biggest construction and engineering companies to build the MOSE project,which was planned to be built under the sea water to stop floods. Now the government are using 3 000 people and expect to spend nearly five billion euros (歐元) on it.The MOSE gates are being built at the inlets (海灣) .Each MOSE gate is 197 feet long,28. 5 to 37 feet tall,and weighs up to 22 tons. It's nearly the size of a 20-story building. Before the gates are in use,they are under the sea and full of water. When the flood comes,the water in the gates will be poured out,and then the gates will be filled with air. So the gates can go up with the sea water. Once they’re in the right place,they will stop the sea water pouring into Venice.These gates will be able to deal with floods up to 10 feet,and as long as the sea level (平面) rises no more than two feet in the next 100 years,the MOSE will work as expected.

    The MOSE project is now two-thirds done.The head engineer,Giovanni Cecconi,said, uThis is a war.During the war,it's not impor?tant that you win. Ifs important that youVe alive. We're alive. 'Anyway,this project is saving Venice from falling.

1. The underlined word4' construction' in the passage means “ ”in Chinese.

   A. 建筑   B. 農(nóng)業(yè)   C. 交通

2. Before building the MOSE gates,the Italian government   stop the floods.

  A. never built gates on the ground

  B. built many kinds of gates on the ground

  C. built some gates which were under the ground 

3. When the flood comes,  can describe the working steps of the MOSE gates.

          

   A. a—?b—>c   B. b——>^c   C. b—>c—?a 

4. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

  A. The Italian government are using 3 000 people and expect to spend nearly five billion dollars on the MOSE.

  B. The MOSE project is half done now.

  C. Each MOSE gate is 197 feet long,28. 5 to 37  feet tall,and weighs up to 22  tons.

5. The best title for this passage should be.

Passage10(2013江蘇揚(yáng)州廣陵區(qū)，C) 

    Spring will soon be upon us and a new term is here. All over the world spring is the season of new life ： flowers bloom,baby animals are born,and the weather becomes warmer.During this time of year,people usually walk around with a spring in their steps and a feeling of fresh beginnings.However,for a fresh beginning it takes more than the bright colors and fresh air of spring.We need to look at ourselves,set new goals,and decide how to improve ourselves.

    In England people usually do this on the first day of the year. We look at the past year and think about what we’d like to change or improve in our lives,and we call this a New Year's resolution These can be anything from improving one^ health through exer?cise or cutting out bad habits,to studying harder for better grades or trying to find a good work or life balance.

    Luckily,we don't have to wait for the beginning of a new year to try and become better people. We can do this whenever we like. The milestone of a new term is just a good place to start.

    Sometimes it’s difficult to take the first step in achieving newly set goals,hut an old saying is to begin is to be half-way there，T.I agree with this because taking on a new task or changing habits can seem daunting at first,but once we begin,they get easier.For exam?ple,spending less time on QQ or playing video games and more time studying or communicating face-to-face can be difficult habits to change at first. But once we settle into the new routine and start to see the results,it's difficult not to wonder why we didn't do it sooner.

    The trick with deciding on a resolution for a new term is not to set unrealistic targets. If we do this,it's easy lo lose motivation because the end goal seems so far away.Try to make many siTiaH goals you want to reach on the way to your ultimate (最終的) goal.This way,you can see your progress easily.


l.In Paragraph One,the writer wants to tell us that spring is a time .

  A. to take a walk around outdoors 

  B. to enjoy fresh air and bright colors 

  C. to set goals for a fresh beginning for animals 

  D. to have babies

2. Which of the following might the writer agree with according to (根據(jù)) Paragraph Four?

  A. Be swift to hear,slow to speak.

  B. A11 that ends well is well.

  C. Well begun is half done.

  D. A11 roads lead to Rome.

3. What does the underlined word “daunting” probahly mean in Par- agraph Four?

  A. changeable    B. difficult   C.lovely D. dangerous 4. What does the writer want to tell us in the last paragraph?

 A. If you see no progress,youUl be sad.

 B. Whatever happens,stick to (堅(jiān)持) your dreams.

 C. Never lose heart when meeting with difficulties.

 D. Your goals should be realistic and small.

Did he ever tell you that?” my father asked.

    I looked down at my feet,ashamed at my behavior. “No.That must have been hard,” I said sheepishly.

    “Your grandfather taught me that if you let people see your tal?ent,they will accept you for who you are.I want you to always remem?ber what my father taught me,even if it takes a few years for people to see who you are ,” said Papa.

    All I could say was ,“ Okay. ” Then I asked ,“ What should I do now?”

Laughing,Papa said ,“How about pitching? You need some practice."
