In addition to tigers, there are also bears, deer, wolves, birds, etc.Location: In Madhya Pradesh state, almost 200 kilometers northeast of Jabalpur. The nearest village is Tala, which is the access point of the park.Opening Hours and Safari(游猎)Times Safaris operate twice a day, starting at dawn until late morning, and mid afternoon until sunset. The best time to visit the park is early in the morning or after 4 p.m to spot the animals. The park is closed from July 1 to September 30 due to the monsoon season(季风季节).Bandhavgarh ZonesBandhavgarh is divided into three main zones: Tala(the parks best zone, with the most tigers), Magdhi(the second best zone to see tigers), and Khitauli(scenic and less visited, although tiger sightings do occur there; particularly good for birding).Entry Fees and Charges for Jeep SafarisBandhavgarh has become expensive to visit in recent years. Entry fees have increased since October 2014. When going on a safari, separate fees must be paid for park entry and jeep hire. Entry tickets are priced per vehicle(up to six people).For 2015-16, park entry tickets cost as follows:Tala Zone: 2,400 rupees for Indians, 4,800 rupees for foreigners.(Up to six people)Other Zones: 1,200 rupees for Indians, 2,400rupees for foreigners.(Up to six people)Jeep Hire Expect to pay about 2,200 rupees to hire a jeep, in addition to the entry cost. This can be done at the park entrance. All hotels can arrange jeep hire and tours, but at a higher rate. Its much less trouble though. Besides, unlike many national parks in India, its possible to take private vehicles into Bandhavgarh.21. What do we know about Bandhavgarh Zones?A. Tala is probably the most popular zone. B.

She had three kids under age 7, and was barely keeping up payments on her small two-bedroom home by working extra hours as a waitress. “There were times when I would lie in bed and think, I dont know how Im going to pay that bill,” Mangano says.But he had a special ability for seeing the obvious thing. She knew how hard it was to mop the floor. “I was tired of bending down, putting my hands in dirty water, wringing (拧) out a mop,” Mangano says. “So, There s gotta be a better way.How about a “self-wringing” mop? She designed a special tool you could twist in two directions at once, and still keep your hands clean and dry. She set out to sell it, first a few at flea markers.Then Mangano met with the media. But would couch potatoes (电视迷）buy a mop? The experts on shopping TV were less than certain. They gave it a try, and it failed. Mangano was sure it would sell if theyd let her do the on-camera display. She said, “Get me on that stage, and I will sell this mop because its a great item.”So QVC, a multinational corporation specializing in televised home shopping, took a chance on her. “ I got onstage and the phones went crazy. We sold every mop in minutes.”Today shes president of Ingenious Designs, a multimillion-dollar company, and one of the stars of HSN, the Home Shopping Network. Talking about the household invention, Mangano says, “It is as natural for me as it is for a parent to talk about their child.”24. What is the first paragraph mainly about?A. Manganos small home. B.

HSN is an Internet organization that helps such women in trouble as Manganot.B. The experts on shopping TV were confident about Manganos mop.C. Mangano got the idea of self-wringing mop from her own experience.D. Mangano once had to work seven days a week to support her family.CCities usually have a good reason for being where they are, like a nearby port or river. People settle in these places because they are easy to get to and naturally suited to communications and trade. New York City, for example, is near a large harbour at the mouth of the Hudson River. Over 300 years its population grew gradually from 8 million. But not all cities develop slowly over a long period of time. Boom towns grow from nothing almost overnight. In 1896, Dawson, Canada, was unmapped wilderness(荒野). But gold was discovered there in 1897, and two years later, it was one of the largest cities in the West, with a population of 30,000.Dawson did not have any of the natural conveniences of cities like London or Paris. People went there for gold. They travelled over snow-covered mountains and sailed hundreds of miles up icy rivers. The path to Dawson was covered with thirty feet of wet snow that could fall without warming. An avalanche(雪崩) once closed the path, killing 63 people. For many who made it to Dawson, however, the rewards were worth the difficult trip. Of the first 20, 000 people who dug for gold, 4, 000 got rich. About 100 of these stayed rich men for the rest of their lives.But no matter how rich they were, Dawson was never comfortable. Necessities like food and wood were very expensive. But soon, the gold that Dawson depended on had all been found. The city was crowded with disappointed people with no interest in settling down, and when they heard there were new gold discoveries in Alaska, they left Dawson City as quickly as they had come. Today, people still come and go to see where the Canadian gold rush happened. Tourism is now the chief industry of Dawson City its present population is 762.28. What attracted the early settlers to New York City？A. Its business culture.B. Its small population.C. Its geographical position.D. Its favourable climate.29. What do we know about those who first dug for gold in Dawson？A. Two-thirds of them stayed there.B. One out of five people got rich.C. Almost everyone gave up.D. Half of them died.30. What was the main reason for many people to leave Dawson？A. They found the city too crowded.B. They wanted to try their luck elsewhere.C. They were unable to stand the winter.D. They were short of food.31. What is the text mainly about？A. The rise and fall of a city.B. The gold rush in Canada.C. Journeys into the wilderness.D. Tourism in Dawson.DI start every summer with the best of intentions: to attack one big book from the past, a classic that I was supposed to have read when young and ambitious. Often the pairings of books and settings have been purely unthinking: Moby Dick on a three-day cross-country train trip: “The Magic Mountain” in a New England beachside cottage with no locks on the doors, no telephones or televisions in the rooms, and little to do beyond row on the salt pond. Attempting The Man Without Qualities on a return to Hawaii, my hometown, however, was less fruitful: I made it through one and a quarter volumes (册), then decided that Id got the point and went swimming instead.But this summer I find myself at a loss. Im not quite interested in Balzac, say, or “Tristram Shandy.” Theres always War and Peace, which Ive covered some distance several times, only to get bogged down in the War part, set it aside for a while, and realize that I have to start over from the beginning again, having forgotten everyones name and social rank. How appealing to simply fall back on a favorite once more into “The Waves” or “Justine,” which feels almost like cheating, too exciting and too much fun to properly belong in serious literature.And then theres Stendhals “The Red and the Black,” which happens to be the name of my favorite cocktail of the summer, created by Michael Cecconi at Savoy and BackForty. It is easy to drink, and knocking back three or four seems like such a delightful idea. Cecconis theory: I take whatevers fresh at the green market and turn it into liquid. The result is a pure shot of afternoon in the park, making one feel cheerful and peaceful all at once, lying on uncut grass with eyes shut, sun beating through the lids.32What can we infer about the author from the first paragraph?A He enjoys reading when traveling.B He shows talents for literature.C He has a cottage in New England.D He admires a lot of great writers.33What do the underlined words get bogged down in paragraph 2 mean?A Get confusedB Make no progress.C Be interruptedD Be carried away.34Why does the author say reading his favorite books feels like cheating?A He finishes them quickly.B He has read them many times before.C He hardly understands them.D He is reading something serious.35What can be a suitable title for the text?A To Read or Not to ReadB My Summer HolidaysC The Books of SummerD Its Never Too Late to Read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。选项中有两项为多余选项。Do arithmetic(算术) problems 15 through 25. State the different forms of the verbs on page 50 of your French workbook. Read pages 12 through 20 of the Shakespeare play, and dont forget to fill in the missing chemical symbols on the worksheet.Sound like a list of your homework for the next few nightsor maybe even just for tonight? 36 . Its your teachers way of evaluating how much you understand whats going on in class. And it helps strengthen important concepts. 37 . Its attractive to start with the easy things to get them out of the way. However, youll have the most energy and focus when you begin, so its best to use this mental power on the subjects that are most challenging. Later, when youre more tired, you can focus on the simpler things. If you get stuck on a problem, try to figure it out as well as you canbut dont spend too much time on it because this can mess up your homework schedule for the rest of the night. 38 . But dont pick someone whom youll be up all night chatting with, or youll never get it done!Most peoples attention spans(一段时间) arent very long, so take some breaks while doing your homework. Sitting for too long without relaxing will make you less productive than if you stop every so often. Taking a 15-minute break every hour is a good idea for most people. 39 .Once your homework is done, you can check over it if you have extra time. Be sure to put it safely away in your backpacktheres nothing worse than having a completed assignment that you cant find the next morning or that gets ruined by a careless brother or sister. 40 . Now youre free to hang out.A. Homework is a major part of going to school.B. Luckily, you can do a few things to do less homework.C. When you start your homework, deal with the hardest tasks first.D. But if youre really concentrating, wait until its a good time to stop.E. If you need to, ask an adult for help or call or email a classmate for advice.F. And no teacher still believes that “chewed by the dog” lineeven when its true!G. In conclusion, no one is expected to stay long, and people have very different learning styles.第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节， 满分45分）第一节 完形填空（共20 小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A, B, C, D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。She calls him an all- American hero.
