【題目】Imagine sailing to over twenty different ports(港口)around the world while you are studying subjects you love! Impossible? Well, that is what the students in Class Afloat do.

Class Afloat is a Canadian school on a tall ship! The ship is sixty-four metres long and nine metres wide and it can take up to sixty students. The classrooms are well-equipped(設(shè)備精良)and comfortable and there's even a library! There is no need to know anything about sailing-students can learn on the ship.

Not all the students are Canadian-there's usually a mix of nationalities(國籍).This year, there are also students from Mexico, the USA, Germany and Turkey. There's a mix of ages too. There are secondary school students-first year university students and students who are doing a gap year(休學年)programme.

The teachers design special study programmes for each student. Because the school is a ship, you can do some exciting courses-for example, Marine Biology(studying the animals and plants in the sea) and History or Geography courses about the places you visit. Students also learn all about sailing! All the classes are in English, so you must have a good level of English.

Students don't just study. They must also clean, cook and sail the ship, in their free time, students can rest, read or watch a film. In the evenings, they relax with friends, have club meetings and sometimes they have a karaoke night.

Every sixteen to twenty days, the ship stops in a port for three to six days. In port there're lots to do-home stays, camping trips, museum tours, cultural events, hiking, etc. They also go snorkeling and do other water sports. Parents can meet up with the students in one port every term.

Students also take part in two volunteer programmes in Senegal(塞內(nèi)加爾)and the Dominican Republic(多明尼加共和國). They help local families in different ways, for example, with basic health matters or starting a business. Students learn how, with just a little money and time, they can make changes that improve other people's lives.

1Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A. Students don't have to know how to sail before they join the ship.

B. Besides studying, students also have to do jobs on the ship.

C. Students have to speak English well in order to have classes on the ship.

D. Students don't usually meet any local people when they stop in ports.

2What is snorkeling?

A. It is an activity of hiking through the forest.

B. It is an activity of swimming underwater.

C. It is an activity of playing games in a tent.

D. It is an activity of riding horses.

3The passage is mainly about .

【題目】閱讀下面的短文并用英語回答問題,并將答案寫在答題卷上標有題號的橫線上。

Have you seen people carrying rubbish bags while jogging? Or their hands filled with old plastic bottles? You might soon. Sweden's latest fitness craze(狂熱)-plogging-is making its way to the whole world.

What is plogging? It is a new word made up of part of "jogging" and part of the Swedish words "plocka upp(pick up)", which means picking up rubbish while jogging. By plogging joggers will keep fit and save the world at the same time.

It all began when a Swedish man, Erik Ahlstrom, moved to Stockholm two years ago. This capital city left Erik a strong idea: "It looks like a dump(垃圾場)." His way to make a change is pretty outside the box: he invited groups of joggers-armed with(……裝備)rubbish bags and gloves-to jog through the city and pick up rubbish. Amazingly, it has turned popular and people share photos of the rubbish they collected on the Internet.

It is said that a half-hour of plogging burns about 288 calories(卡路里)while only jogging burns 235 calories. Some parents go plogging with their children at weekends. "It is the best family education. My child learns the idea of environmental protection by plogging. She is only 6," said a father. And a company called Vivobarefoot now will give out a pair of shoes in exchange for 17 plastic bottles.

Plogging is well accepted in many other countries. There are plogging groups in Germany, Australia and the US. In China, it's starting to go popular among exercisers who want to make a difference.

1Who started plogging?

_____________________

2What is the meaning of plogging?

_____________________

3Would you like to go plogging with your parents? Why or why not?

loud move imagine complete special watch

grow take lead bad comfortable low

As a child, I was really afraid of the dark and getting lost. These fears were very real and caused me some 1moments.

Maybe it was the strange way that things looked and sounded in my own room at night that scared me so much. It was never2 dark in my bedroom, but always a streetlight or passing car lights,which made clothes on the back of a chair look like some shape of a wild animal. Out of the corner of my eye, the curtains seemed 3 all the time though there was no wind. A very low sound in the floor at night would seem a hundred times 4than in the day. My 5would run wild, and my heart would beat fast. I would lie very still so that the “enemy” would not discover me.

Another of my childhood fears was that I would get lost,6 on the way home from school. Every morning I got on the school bus right near my home. That was no problem. After school, though, when all the buses were lined up along the street, I was afraid that I would get on the wrong one and 7to some other strange places. On school or family trips to a park or a museum, I wouldn’t let the 8out of my sight(視線) because I knew I wouldn’t get lost if I always followed him or her.

Perhaps one of 9fears of all I had as a child was that of not being liked or accepted by others. Being popular was so important to me then, and the fear of not being liked was a serious one.

One of the processes about 10up is to be able to realize and overcome(克服) our fears. Understanding the things that scared us as children helps us achieve greater success later in life.

【題目】閱讀下面短文, 按要求完成下列各題。

Peter was an inventor. His job was to invent new things, and he worked when he had an idea. His workroom was in his house, so he could work whenever he wanted to. Sometimes he worked seven days a week and sometimes he didn’t work for days. He did all his work right at home, but he left the house to go to meetings sometimes.

Peter usually got up at about five o’clock. He made some tea and started to work at six. He drank tea all day--he couldn’t work without it --but he didn’t eat anything until in the evening.

First, Peter cleaned the workroom and turned on the answer-phone because he couldn’t talk to people when he had an idea. Then he started to work. He usually had a rest after two or three hours, but he didn’t leave the workroom. He did something different to help him relax. Sometimes he did some exercise, and sometimes he listened to music. He usually stopped working at about nine o'clock in the evening. He thought about his work most of the time, even when he was out. He was interested in what was around him and he liked looking for new ideas and new problems to solve.
