Sea, sun, sand and South Africa：
readers' favourite beaches
The Wild Coast fiveday hike from Kei Mouth to Coffee Bay in South Africa is surely the best experience for beach lovers.【出处：21教育名师】
Robben Island beaches
On a visit to the prison museum here, be sure to leave time to explore the island's beaches.Few visitors realise that the island's shores are the natural habitat of sizable penguins: enjoy watching them with far fewer tourists here.Bird life is plentiful and includes oystercatchers, ibis, egrets and cormorants.Sharks and dolphins can often be spotted offshore too.
Sand, sea and sculpture, Durban
There's more to Durban's Golden Mile than sunbathing and surfing.Not only is there a gallery of sand sculptures and drawings, but Lucas, one of the best local artists, offers lessons.His amazing rhino (犀牛) is the only permanent item in a frequently changing exhibition.Lucas charges a modest R50 (￡3) for a fun and surprisingly physical hour of creativity.Or, you could ask him to create a personalised sculpture for a special occasion.
Paternoster, Western Cape
Paternoster is a small beach community about 150 km north of Cape Town.The town has a number of rentals (租赁), all the Cape Dutch architecture you could want for a weekend away and some great food.Long walks on the beach, eating and drinking and watching the fishing boats make for a peaceful break.And, unlike in Cape Town, you can dip your toes in the sea without your legs freezing solid.

(2017·兰州市高考实战模拟考试)My mother grew up in a small coal mining town in southwest lowa.My grandfather once told me that she knew no stranger and considered everyone in that community her friend.That attitude continued wherever she lived for the rest of her life.
As a young girl, I felt embarrassed and cringed (畏缩) every time my mother addressed strangers in the grocery store or on the city bus.She talked to everyone and offered a smile.
What really sold_me_on Mom's approach to life was her experience on the senior bus, a story I've repeated to others many times.The weeks I could not be there, she used this lowcost transportation to the grocery store.After her first trip, I asked her how it went.
“Ha！” she said, “I got on that bus and what did I see? Thirteen little old ladies and one old man, and not one word was spoken.”
I wondered how long it would be until the somberness (忧郁的氛围) on that bus would change.On my next visit, Mom mentioned the ladies on the bus and something one of them had told her.
“Oh, are you talking with them now？” I asked.
“Of course，” she said.“One day I climbed up the steps of the bus and before I looked for a seat, I gave them a big smile and I said, ‘Isn't it a wonderful day？’ I noticed a few shy smiles.”www.21-cn-jy.com

(2017·安徽百所重点高中二模)In March, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio ended a decadelong citywide ban on cellphones in public schools and left them to make up their own rules because he argued that by denying access for some students, the city was exacerbating (使加重) the achievement gap in students' performance.
Two researchers from the London School of Economics, Richard Murphy and LouisPhilippe Beland argued that this might have the opposite effect because students are not generally using their phones to assist in their classroom work during school.“Schools could significantly reduce the education achievement gap by prohibiting cellphone use in schools, and so by allowing phones in schools, New York may unintentionally increase the inequalities of outcomes，” they told CNN.
However, some educators have come to embrace the technology in their students' pockets.Teacher Ken Halla has been teaching world history and Advanced Placement for 22 years but his students' cellphones ownership forced him to adapt to his classroom dynamics where he no longer is the single authority lecturing, according to the National Education Association (NEA)．He now roams (漫步) the classroom and encourages students to use their cellphones to help them complete their assignments, this way they are less likely to let their devices distract themselves.
“It's harder to do negative behavior when the phones are out and the teacher is walking around，” Mr.Halla told the NEA.“I've always been that_type_of_person who likes to adapt and change as time goes on.Otherwise, I wouldn't still be teaching many years down the road.”
语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文。纽约市决定放开在公立学校使用手机的禁令，此举引起不同的反响。

A．Because it negatively affected students' health.

30．How did the two researchers find New York's act?21cnjy.com
A．Appreciative. B．Meaningless.

解析：选D 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“so by allowing phones in schools, New York may unintentionally increase the inequalities of outcomes”可知，这两位研究人员(Richard Murphy和LouisPhilippe Beland)对纽约市的这一做法表示担忧，认为此举可能加剧结果的不均衡，故选D。21世纪教育网版权所有

(2017·郑州第三次质量预测)Lately, everywhere you look, people are running around with fitness trackers (健身追踪器) on their wrists.Along with a smartphone and an accompanying app, these trackers can report how many calories you've burned and the distance you've traveled.Still curious about yourself? You can also learn the number of stairs you've climbed and steps you've taken.
Not one to resist peer pressure, however, I paid $100 for a Fitbit Flex.I chose that brand on the basis of intense research: asking my friend Sari which tracker she was using.
The Fitbit website offered instructions on setting up my new tracker.I entered my height and gender (性别) and certain information I considered none of its business: birth date and weight.Then, I established goals.The American Heart Association recommends that we all walk 10,000 steps a day — about five miles, and so does Fitbit.I decided 6,000 steps was a good place for me to start.
I changed my tune when, on Day 1, I hit 6,000 steps and tiny LED lights flashed on my wristband.Confident enough now, I went back to my phone and upped my goal to 8,000 steps.So, I got a little obsessed (着迷)．On Day 5 at a department store, I decided to check my progress.My target number was just 275 steps away! I walked around the dress apartment watching my smartphone register each step I took.I hate to tell you how much pleasure this gave me.
Now I always wear my tracker, not because I've grown to love fitness but because I like being trendy and selfabsorbed.Last night I was leaving a restaurant when Fitbit emailed to congratulate me on walking more than 10,000 steps.Who wouldn't love a gadget (小装置) that turns your every footstep into an accomplishment?
33．Why do people wear fitness trackers while running?
A．To email information to others.
B．To follow the healthy trend.
C．To report the amount of exercise.

34．Why did the author start from 6,000 steps when using the new tracker?
A．Because it is the best choice for beginners.
B．Because the author wasn't confident at first.
C．Because it is the suggestion from Fitbit Flex.
D．Because the friend Sari advised the author to do so.
解析：选B 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Confident enough now, I went back to my phone and upped my goal to 8,000 steps.”可知，作者起初把目标定在6 000步是对自己信心不足的表现，故选B。
35．What does the author think of the experience of using the tracker?
A．Joyful and encouraging.
B．Tiring and changeable.
C．Painful and challenging.
D．Thrilling and relaxing.
解析：选A 推理判断题。根据第四段最后一句“I hate to tell you how much pleasure this gave me.”和最后一段最后一句“Who wouldn't love a gadget (小装置) that turns your every footstep into an accomplishment？”可知，作者使用健身追踪器的体验是愉悦且振奋人心的，故选A。

(2017·济南模拟)While you are travelling abroad, cultural mistakes are more serious than linguistic mistakes, which can lead to serious misunderstanding and even ill feeling between individuals.__36__
·Touching Someone
__37__ In Mediterranean (地中海) countries, if you don't touch someone's arm when talking to them or if you don't greet them with kisses or a warm hug, you'll be considered cold.But backslap (拍背以示友好) someone who isn't a family member or a good friend in Korea, and you'll make them uncomfortable.In Thailand, the head is considered sacred — never even pat a child on the head.21教育网
·Talking over Dinner
In some countries, like China, Japan and some African nations, the food is the thing, so don't start chatting about your day's adventures while everyone else is digging into dinner.2-1-c-n-j-y
__38__ It's not because your group is unfriendly, but because mealtimes are for eating, not talking.
·Removing Your Shoes or Not
Take off your shoes when arriving at the door of a London dinner party and the hostess will find you uncivilized but fail to remove your shoes before entering a home in Asia, Hawaii, or the Pacific Islands and you'll be considered disrespectful.So, if you see a row of shoes at the door, start undoing your laces.__39__
Once you are on the ground of a different country, remain highly sensitive to native behavior.__40__ And don't feel offended if something seems offensive — like queue jumping.After all, this is a global village, and we are all very different.21·世纪*教育网
A．Personal space varies as you travel the globe.
B．Asians consider removing shoes impolite at home.【来源：21cnj*y.co*m】

39．选F 该空与前一句是相反的情况，上文提到“如果你在门口看到一排鞋子，就松开你的鞋带”，接下来就应当描写与之相反的情况，故选F项。
40．选C 从空后的“And don't ...like queue jumping.”可知，此空与下一句之间为并列关系，也应是“不要……”，故选C项。
