Naomi Cooke was walking with a friend and their dogs through her local park in Burnside, on Tuesday when she heard someone shout to watch out. Cooke turned and hardly had time to react before a flying disc hit her in the face with a \"big bang”, leaving her right cheek swollen almost to the size of a golfball.
Two men playing disc golf at the course in Jellie Park were about 20 metres fromthe pairwhen one of them threw the disc hard, aiming for a nearby goal.
After being hit Cooke immediately went to the emergency department, where two CT scans on her face and cheek found she had escaped any broken bones. \"I'm lucky it didn't hit my eye because I think I would have lost it.\" Cooke said.
Cooke often walks her dog at the park and said it was always busy with people playing disc golf, but it was not until after Tuesday that she became concerned about public safety there.
There were no signs about the disc golf course in the park, she said, and the area is shared with children and people walking their dogs.
“If it had hit one of the kids in the head, it could have killed them.” Cooke did not think she was the only person who had been hit before, and said there would be others who share her concerns.
Cooke planned to go to the council, saying it needed to realise how dangerous it was for the space to be shared by everyone and to provide disc golfers with a space where they can play safely. \"There should be rules about how it's done, making it safe for everyone.” 4. What happened to Cooke on Tuesday?
A. She was struck by a golf ball. B. She was hit by a flying disc. C. She was beaten by two men. D. She was frightened by a mad dog.
5. What do the underlined words \"the pair\" in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. Cooke and her friend. B. Cooke and her dog. C. The two disc golfers. D. The two CT scans. 6. How did Cooke feel about people playing disc golf in the park?
A. Acceptable. B. Shocked. C. Angry. D. Worried. 7. Why did Cooke plan to go to the council?
A. To get the two men in trouble. B. To call for a ban on disc golf. C. To ask for personal protection. D. To call for safer places for disc golf.

Until quarantine (隔离期) ends, we are left picturing what sport we might do: working out at the gym, playing on a competitive sports team, swimming, biking, or rock climbing. However, we don’t often think of martial arts as possible activities; instead, we rule it out because we think it’s dangerous, uncommon, and even, impossible. Martial arts aren’t considered a sport, right?
Well, here’s some good news: you’re wrong! Martial arts aren’t much more common than people think, and you can start learning at any age. Practicing martial arts is a great way to keep in shape, both physically and mentally. They’re much less boring and much lessarduoussport than they’re usually described as in movies, so do not worry that they need a lot of effort.
Martial arts generally require you to focus on the position and movement of every one of your legs and arms, sometimes even your breathing too. Think about it: when you leave the gym, your mental state has improved and you are much calmer. This is because you’ve only paid attention to one activity. It is a great way to clear your head. Andpracticing it can help you learn to stay more focused, which is the greatest advantage of martial arts training.
Martial arts also improve your coordination (协调性), and greatly improve your posture (姿势). I have personally seen students go from slouching (没精打采) to walking tall with their shoulders back in just a couple of months.
There are many styles and countless kinds of martial arts. Whichever one you like better, know that all of them are good choices.
8. What can we know about martial arts from the first two paragraphs? A. They often have people hurt. B. They are difficult to practice. C. People have a wrong view on it. D. People practice them more often. 9. What does the underlined word “arduous” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Interesting. B. Difficult. C. Friendly. D. Exciting. 10. What is the biggest benefit of practicing martial arts?
A. Adjusting the breath. B. Enjoying one’s free time. C. Correcting the movement. D. Keeping one’s attention. 11. What does the writer think of martial arts? A. They are notsports.
B. They attracted many teenagers. C. They are beneficial and helpful. D. They were invented to protect others.

InAsia, there are special competitions where kites have complex designs and are fitted with instruments that make musical sounds as the wind blows through them. Although all kites have a similar structure (结构), they are widely different in size and shape. Kite-fighting competitions are also held, in which competitors use their kites to attack and bring down their opponents’ (对手) kites or cut their strings (线).
For more than 15 years, the Big Wind Kite Factory has been giving kite-making and kite-flying classes for the children on an island inHawaii. In its kite-making lessons, students can make kites in as little as 20 minutes! Children as young as four years old can learn how to fly a kite. Jonathan Socher and his wife Daphne started the kite factory in 1980. Their kites are made of nylon (尼龙). Their designs are Hawaiian themes created by Daphne. The designs are cut out of the nylon with a hot knife that seals the edges and then fastened directly onto the kite. The kite that is used to give lessons is a regular diamond kite with a rainbow pattern. The difference between this kite and the ones they make during the lessons is that it is a two-string controllable kite. Big Wind employees fly the kite and for a few minutes show students how pulling on one line and then on the other controls the direction the kite goes in. Then the controls are given to the students.
Jonathan insists that it is not necessary to make a huge impressive kite to have fun making and flying kites. Even the simplest structure can work, and can give hours of fun. Go on, give it a try! 12. Which of the following is true according to the text? A. A hot knife is used to iron the nylon.
B. Children never fly kites on their own in flying lessons. C. Kite strings must not be cut in kite-fighting competitions. D. Daphne designs kites for the Big Wind Kite Factory.
13. What is different about the kite used for flying lessons? A. It has two strings. B. It is simple in design.
C. It has a rainbow pattern. D. It is shaped like a diamond. 14. According to Jonathan,what do you need to have fun with kites? A. A large kite. B. Any type of kite.
C. A complex structure. D. A kite that impresses others. 15. What is mainly described in the text?
A. A kite factory. B. Kite-flying lessons.
C. Special competitions. D. The kite-making process. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)

Yesterday, I went to an amazing Chinese art festival. There were different stands which artists could present their skills and wonderfully teaching the visitors! It was definite an exciting experience for a foreign student like me. What caught up my attention first in a breathtaking exhibition of Chinese porcelain was a 15th-century qinghua bowl, vividly illustrating a dragon played with a ball.
Then I tried paper cutting, that is, making images out of paper. It was difficult, and a lot of fun! Under an artist’s help, I managed to make one in shape of a fish. Meanwhile, there was also an old man writing Chinese calligraphy and his writing was very free and elegant that I was attracted! Then another man sitting next to him shows me how seal cutting worked. He made one for me with my name in Chinese—pretty awesome! 第二节书面表达(满分25分)

“Okay, I’ll treat you.” the seller said, “come in, I will cook you a bowl.”
A few minutes later the owner brought me a steaming bowl of noodles. After eating some pieces, Icried. “What is it?” He asked.
“Nothing. I am just touched by yourkindness!” I said as I wiped mytears. “Even a stranger on the street gives me a bowl of noodles, and my mother, after a quarrel, chased me out of the house. She is cruel(残忍的)!”
The seller sighed, “Girl, why did you think so? Think again. I only gave you a bowl of noodles and you felt that way. Your mother has beentaking care ofyou since you werelittle, why were you notgratefuland why did you hurt your mom? You should saysorryto your mom.”
