With a continuous 1,300 kilometer-long coastline and beautiful beaches, Wales
is a popular holiday destination in the United Kingdom. Most Welsh people live in
south Wales in the capital city, Cardiff, and two other big cities: Swansea and
Newport.
Language
The official languages of Wales are English and Welsh, and “Wenglish” is a
Welsh-English dialect (方言). Everyone speaks English, but if you go to school in
Wales you have to learn Welsh until you are 16. Street signs are written in Welsh
and English, and villages, towns and cities have an English name and a Welsh name.
The Welsh language is one of the oldest languages in Europe and around 20 percent
of people in Wales speak Welsh.
Sports
The Welsh enjoy watching and playing sports, especially rugby and football. The
modern Millennium Stadium in Cardiff can hold 74,500 people and is where you go if
you want to watch a football or rugby match or a concert.
Water sports are popular in Wales. You can go surfing or wakeboarding (尾浪
滑水). If you like unusual sports, visit the small town of Llanwrtyd Wells. Every
year in this town there is a man versus horse marathon (马拉松) and a bog snorkelling
(沼泽潜水) competition.
Food
There are lots of sheep in Wales, so people eat a lot of lamb (羊羔肉). Typical
Welsh dishes include “cawl”, which is lamb stew (炖羊肉), sausages and “rarebit”,
which is a type of cheese on toast. There are also Welsh cakes, which are small,
sweet, round cakes with dried raisins (葡萄干) inside.
Symbols
If you ever go to Wales, you will see dragons everywhere; red dragons are a symbol
of Wales. Other symbols include the leek (a long, green vegetable) and the daffodil.

When I woke up on Aug 4, 2016, there was only one thing on my mind: what to wear.
A billion thoughts appeared through my brain in the closet (衣橱). Not only was it
my first day of high school, but it was my first day of school in a new state; first
impressions are everything, and it was important for me to impress the people who
I would spend the next four years with.
After carefully hunting my closet, I proudly came out in a dress from Target.
The soft cotton was comfortable, and the specially designed shoulders added a little
of fun. Yes, this cloth was the one. An hour later, I felt powerful as I headed toward
room 1136. But as I entered class, my jaw dropped to the floor.
Sitting at her desk was Mrs Hutfilz, my English teacher, wearing exactly the
same dress as me. I kept my head down and tiptoed(踮着脚尖) to my seat. I made it
through my simple introduction speech until Mrs Hutfilz stood up, jokingly saying
that she liked my style. Although this was the moment I had been afraid of from the
moment I walked in, all my anxiety surprisingly melted away, and the students paid
attention as I shared my story. My smile grew as I laughed with the students. After
class, I stayed behind, talked to Mrs Hutfilz and make a humorous and real
communication.
Looking back four years later, the ten minutes I spent afraid of giving my speech
were really not worth it. My first period of high school certainly made the day
unforgettable in the best way and taught me that Mrs Hutfilz has a brilliant sense
of style!
4. Why did the author pay great attention to her clothes on the first day of high
school?

There was one farmer who had a fine olive orchard. He was very hard-working and
the garden always did well under his care. But he knew that his three sons looked
down on the farm work, and were only interested in getting rich quickly.
When the farmer was old and felt that he would die, he called his three sons
to him and said, “My sons, there is a pot of gold hidden in the olive orchard. Dig
for it, if you wish it.” The sons tried to get him to tell them the exact place
where the gold was hidden, but he said nothing more.
After the farmer was dead, the sons went to work to find the gold. Since they
did not know where the hiding-place was, they agreed to begin in a line, at one end
of the orchard, and to dig until one of them should find the gold.
They dug until they had turned up the soil from one end of the orchard to the
other, round the tree roots and between them. But no gold was to be found. It seemed
as if someone must have stolen it, or as if the farmer had been wandering in his
intelligence. The three sons were quite disappointed to have all their work for
nothing.
The next olive season, the olive trees in the orchard bore more fruit than they
had ever given. When it was sold, it gave the sons a whole pot of gold.
And when they saw how much money had come from the orchard, they suddenly
understood what the wise father had meat when he said, "There is a lot of gold hidden
in the orchard. Dig for it, if you wish it.”

in the orchard.

very________.
A. excited

“Look how stupid he is!" a 7-year-old said to her dad Daniel Funke, pointing
to a picture of a famous person on the Internet. The photo showed the man writing
his name with his pen turned upside down.
Of course, the photo was not the original one. It had been changed to look like
him using the pen the wrong way. Funke quickly pointed out the mistake, and his
daughter got an on-the-spot education in fake news. By then, however, many people
had already shared it on social media.
“The pitfalls of sharing misinformation and fake news can be very serious,"
says Laeeq Khan, who heads the Social Media Analytics Lab at Ohio University in Athens.
Sharing something that’s not true can cost people their lives, he says. Last year,
people in India used a messaging app, WhatsApp, to spread fake stories about a
kidnapping ring. The lies caused violent attacks in which people died.
Fake news stories hurt people in other ways, too. For example, fake reports lead
some parents to refuse vaccines (疫苗) for their children. Yet without vaccines,
children can get serious diseases or even die.
“About seven in 10 Americans were telling us that fake news has a big influence
on the confidence in our government,” says Jeffrey Gottfried. He’s a journalism
and media-research expert at Pew Research Center in Washington, D.C. Researchers
there did a survey in the United States about the influence of made-up news. About
half the people in the survey said they had shared misinformation online. Most of
them said they didn’t realize it at the time.
Besides causing serious results, sharing a fake story makes it harder for people
to tell what's real. And when people find out a story is not real, they may not trust
other information from a person who spread it. Therefore, it's important to do
fact-checking before sharing news stories.
12. What is the purpose of the first two paragraphs?
A. To bring up the topic of the text.
B. To tell an interesting news
story.
C. To provide the main idea of the text.
D. To list people's popular online
behavior.
13. What does the underlined word "pitfalls"in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Mistakes.
B. Problems.
C. Advantages.
D.
Possibilities.
14. What did the survey done by Pew Research Center find?
A. About 30% of online news wasn't real.
B. Made-up news spread faster than expected.
C. Made-up news had a bad influence on children.
D. Many Americans shared fake news without knowing it.
15. What is the attitude of the author to the fake news?
A. Positive
B. Unclear
C. Worried
D.
Supporting
【答案】12. A
13. B
14. D
15. C
