A

Australians really know how to have a good time. Any type of hobby that you can think of can be found in Australia. The following are four top Australian pastimes.

Fishing

Fishing is probably one of the most popular free-time activities in Australia and many people love spending their free time waiting at the end of a rod for a fish to bite on their line. There is free public access to almost all beaches， canals and coasts， which means there are plenty of great places to fish.

Surfing

Another popular pastime of the Australians is surfing. Australia has a lot of beautiful surf spots， especially in Queensland. Queensland has some of the best surf beaches in the country such as Noosa Heads， Stradbroke Island， and Burleigh Heads， with the Gold Coast being the best known.

Boating

What else does an Australian do for fun on the weekend？ They might go for a ride on their boat！Plenty of Australians live on the coast and are boat owners. Boat owners might take their craft out to go fishing， or they might just want to sail around the waters slowly.

Barbecues

Australians will also typically host barbecues with their friends and family. They really know how to barbecue. The standard of meat that is cooked and the quality of the cooking is second to none. With New Zealand being so close， the lamb is fresh and absolutely remarkable. But the lamb is not all that is cooked. Any one barbecue in Australia can expect upwards of 7 types of meat， from shrimps （蝦） to kangaroos.

21. Which of the following surf spots is the most famous in Queensland？

A. Noosa Heads. B. the Gold Coast.

C. Burleigh Heads. D. Stradbroke Island.

D. People in New Zealand have better cooking skills.

23. What are most of the four top Australian pastimes related to？

Its a rainy， cold winter afternoon. The boys are playing in their rooms， so its the perfect time to do some baking， just enjoying the peaceful moment as I knead（揉）bread dough（生面团）. Suddenly， there is the sound of shouting， tears， a door slam， followed one of them calling，“Mom！ He hurt me！”and footsteps running up the stairs. I sigh.

My younger son is standing in front of me in tears. I go to hug him as my elder son comes up too， ready to defend his position. All hope of some quiet time has disappeared， but I just dont feel like playing judge today.

“So， who wants to help me bake some bread？”I ask brightly， ignoring their angry looks at not being able to tell me their tales of bitterness. No takers.

“Bread is boring，”Tristan finally admits.“Okay， what would you like to make？”I ask.“Chocolate！”Sawyer yells， breaking free of my embrace.“Chocolate chip cookies！”Tristan agrees happily.

As I watch Sawyer practice breaking eggs and Tristan reading on his own and patiently instructing his brother on how to measure brown sugar and see their excitement as they use the mixer to grind oats， I know theres nothing else Id rather be doing.

The kitchen is a disaster. There is egg juice on the counter， flour on the floor， and a mountain of dishes to clean up. But peering through the mess are two happy faces—covered in chocolate， of course， but， smiling ear to ear---and the mess， and their previous fight， is forgotten.

As we close the curtains， we sit together on the sofa， and dig into the big plate of cookies， fresh from the oven， baked with love and more than a dash of silliness.

24. Why did the writer sigh？

A. Her two sons fought again.

B. She couldnt do any baking.

C. She had to play with naughty sons.

D. Rain ruined a good winter afternoon.

25. Why do the writers two sons look angry？

C. did everything as the writer asked

D. planned everything carefully in advance

27. Which of the following can be the best title for the text？

C. Sons Can Cook

D. Chocolate Cookies End a Fight

C

What is the most common cause for people in the UK to ask for leave due to illness？The answer is not the common cold or flu， but back pain. Back pain affects one in three British adults， costs the country over 5 billion pounds every year and is very difficult to treat. But now Britain's National Health Service（NHS） will be offering a new solution： acupuncture. The ancient Chinese needle treatment has been around in the UK for many years， but this is the first time it has been officially approved by the NHS.

Traditionally， doctors in the UK have advised back pain sufferers to stay active， do stretching exercises and take painkillers when necessary. In more serious cases some people are given X-ray treatment or injections with medicines.

However， there is evidence that acupuncture may be more effective than expensive X-rays or injections， so patients who have been suffering for over six weeks should be given a choice. As an alternative to acupuncture， patients will be able to choose either a course of spinal manipulation（脊柱推拿）， or a series of special exercise sessions. In the UK， acupuncture is regarded as an aiding treatment， which means medical procedure hasnt experienced serious experiments by which scientists prove some treatments work. While many experts have welcomed the policy to make acupuncture available on the NHS， some are still skeptical about its effectiveness.

Research from the US earlier this month found that similar acupuncture using toothpicks（牙签）which do not stick into the skin could be as good as using real needles. So while some are yet to be convinced， back pain sufferers will be hoping that acupuncture helps get them feeling healthy again.

28. According to the passage， which is the best way to treat back pain？

A. To stay active.

B. To be acupunctured.

C. To do stretching exercises

D. To take X-ray treatment or injections.

29. Why are some people still doubtful about the effectiveness of acupuncture？

A. Because they have other choices.

B. Because acupuncture is just an aiding treatment.

C. Because using toothpicks is as good as using real needles.

D. Because acupuncture hasnt been tested by scientists strictly.

30. What does the author want to prove in the last paragraph？

A. Acupuncture can be an effective treatment for back pain.

B. Toothpicks is a useful tool for acupuncture.

C. Needles are no better than toothpicks.

D. Toothpicks will take place of needles in the future.

31. What does the passage mainly talk about？

A. The magic needles.

B. Acupuncture in the UK.

C. The ways to treat back pain.

D. The reasons for people to ask for leave.

D

Young children often“read”picture books. Theyre attracted by the colorful scenery and the realistic characters that contribute to fascinating plots.

Unfortunately， some children cant use these resources， even if they do know how to read. Take three-year old Elodie Bateson， for example. Elodie was born with under-developed eyes and has retinal detachments（視网膜脱落），making her visually impaired.

It is because of people like Elodie that Tom Yeh， head of the Tactile Picture Books Project， has started printing 3D books， so they can feel the illustrations in picture books.

The first book Tom Yeh printed was Goodnight Moon， a popular childrens book about a rabbit going to sleep and wishing good night to his surroundings. In the 3D version of this book， children can feel each thing that the rabbit says good night to， whether it is a cow jumping over the moon， a balloon， or a dollhouse.

Generally， when children grow older， they read by using Braille， a language that was invented by Louis Braille in 1824. It uses different patterns of raised dots representing different letters. Readers can then feel the dots and mentally translate the patterns they feel into words. The only problem is that many blind children do not start learning Braille until they are about six years old.

Another reason why 3D printed books are such a valuable resource is that children dont have to know how to read to understand them. However， without these， visually impaired kids are losing six developmental years vital to their growth since they cant take advantage of picture books.

When 3D picture books are printed， plastic is layered（分层放置）repeatedly over a single shape： the shape of the illustration. These raised pictures created through layered plastic serve as substitutes for the Braille letters that little children have no knowledge of.

32. What does the underlined word“impaired”in paragraph 2 mean？

A. Unmatched. B. Disappeared.

C. Defeated. D. Damaged.

33. What can we know about Braille from Paragraph 5？

A. The blind at any age can read by using Braille.

B. Most people can translate Braille into words.

C. Blind kids begin learning Braille at about six years old.

D. Braille uses similar patterns of raised dots to stand for different letters.

34. We can know that the illustrations in 3D books are raised ______.

A. dots B. pictures C. letters D. plastic

35. What is the aim of the Tactile Picture Books Project？

A. To teach the blind children Braille.

B. To encourage kids to read books.

C. To cure visually impaired children.

D. To help the blind children read picture books.

In years past， you couldnt talk to me before 10∶00 in the morning， much less expect me to get anything useful done. And the weekends？Forget it. If the time had“a.m.”attached to the end of it， youd better believe I was face-down in a pillow. 36 . Im mentally forming my to-do list before I even open my eyes. I find that my best writing is done within the first few hours after I wake up. So whats my secret？

1. 37 .

Night time preparation is half the battle. A few minutes at night to set up the coffee pot， lay out an outfit， and get your lunch together for the following day can be a godsend come sunrise.

2. Set two alarms.

The first one is gentle， within reach and set for five minutes before you really need it. This comforting sound will slowly wake you up. 38 .

3. Do something that is truly， genuinely YOU.

39 . Enjoy your coffee slowly. Take a walk or do ten minutes of yoga. If you walk out the door with peace in your heart， youll carry it with you throughout the day.

If you generally struggle in the evening hours， dont push yourself too hard to go against nature. Lean into your afternoon energy but use these tips to help you embrace those tough mornings with a bit more grace（优雅）. 40 ！

A. Get things ready in advance

B. Setting some exciting music for your alarm may also help

C. Nowadays， however， despite my best efforts I cannot sleep past 8

D. Give yourself a little“me”time before the hustle（忙碌、奔忙） begins

E. In time you might find yourself changing into a“morning person”after all

F. Losing an hour of sleep will decrease your ability to think the following day.

G. The second one should be louder， and set for the time you actually need to get up
