21．（6分）Haad Farang (Haad Sai Yao),KohMuk
This small but striking bay in Thailand has waters free from riptides（激流）,making it safe for families to play water in the sun.As its nickname implies—Farang is Thai for foreigners—you'll find a large concentration of backpackers here.Still,with only a couple of simple food shops,it's a far cry from the noises of Chaweng beach on Koh Samui or Kamala on Phuket,which makes it to be one of the top tourist destinations.
Rent a sea kayak（皮划艇）(100 baht,which is around￡2 an hour) and go around the comer to Tham Morakot (the Emerald Cave),a winding cave that opens up to a.bay walled by thick leaves and often visited by groups of monkeys.It is very inspiring,but to fully appreciate it,be sure to prepare a light to avoid knocking into cave walls and other kayaks.To avoid being crowded,make the trip in the late afternoon.
Where to eat
The Ko Yao Viewpoint Hotel is the best place for tourists.Drink the sweet cocktails in favour of an icy Chang beer and sit in the last rays of the day.
Where to stay
Cheaper hotels of comparable quality are set slightly back in the forest,but if you want beachfront access it's worth choosing one of the basic hotels at Koh Mook Charlie Beach Resort (bungalows from￡32).
Getting there
Fly from Bangkok to Trang with Air Asia (from￡30),then take a one-hour Tigerline ship from Hat Yao Pier (￡19).Besides,a five-hour ship from Phuket at Rassada Pier(￡41) goes directly to the island and will drop passengers at Haad Farang.

22．（8分）Traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） is gaining global popularity． According to a government white paper， TCM has been introduced in 183 countries and regions around the world．
Westerners' understanding of TCM， however， may be limited to acupuncture， cupping and massage（针灸，拔罐和按摩）． For instance， the purple， injury﹣like marks left on U． S． swimmer Michael Phelps，back from cupping for the purpose of relaxing his muscles and reducing pain became the center of attention during the Rio Olympics in 2016．
As a matter of fact， Chinese herbs play a more important role in getting rid of diseases and keeping the body in good condition in the TCM treatment system than physical treatment． It is therefore disheartening to know that while 103 World Health Organization member countries have given approval to the practice of acupuncture， not many recognize Chinese herbal medicine． TCM falls far behind Western medicine owing partly to the slow development of Chinese herbs．
Herbs are made into pills， powder and soup， and the kind of herbs used， their quality and quantity， and the processing of the ingredients （原材料） jointly determine the effectiveness of the prescription． Compared with Western medicine， which has standardized drug production processes and treatment methods， TCM lacks standardization， with the chemical composition and functions of its medicines being unclear and their effects being unstable． Fortunately， standardization has improved in recent decades， with an increasing number of factories producing patented TCM drugs．
Another factor that has prevented the development of TCM prescription drugs is the lack of creativity． While Western medicine﹣making companies come up with new products every year， TCM drug producers tend to make medicines according to prescriptions handed down from the past． Chinese chemist Tu Youyou's winning the 2015Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for her research into malaria （疟疾） treatment may drive creativity to some extent in China's TCM industry． However， the current state of affairs cannot be changed within a short time．
1、Why does the author mention the example of Michael Phelps？
A．Because he was injured in his swimming．
B．Because cupping is a kind of important TCM treatment．
C．Because westerners know a little about TCM．
D．Because westerners attach great importance to TCM．
2、Why don't some member countries of WHO recognize Chinese herbal medicine？
A．Because Chinese herbs can get rid of diseases．
B．Because they only approve the practice of acupuncture．
C．Because Western medicine is more effective．
D．Because medicine made out of Chinese herbs develops slowly．
3、Compared with Western medicine， what is the weak point of TCM in Paragraph 4？
A．The methods of planting herbs．
B．The effectiveness of prescription．
C．Lacking in standardization．
D．Its stable functions．
4、The lack of creativity in TCM refers to the fact that　 　．
A．medicine﹣making companies lack creativity
B．prescriptions are got from the past
C．Western companies are more experienced
D．medicine﹣making companies lack driving force
23．（8分） About 6 years ago, I was on a plane next to a woman. I was tired and wanted to take a nap. But before I could go into “ignore pattern”, she tapped me on the shoulder to introduce herself.
“Hi: my name is Helga!”
We got to talking and eventually it came up that I had started an organization in high school called R.A．K.E.(Random Acts of Kindness, Etc.). As I described what we did, Helga got very serious and told me that she admired me for that. She told me a story about the last time she had flown. She was on the way to Arizona because she had gotten sudden news that her dad’s health was on the decline. Later her father’s physician called to inform her that her dad had rather suddenly passed away. For the 3-hour plane ride, she sat in silence around strangers.
When she arrived at the airport in Arizona, she walked to the nearest wall, sat down, and cried. And here is the part I’ll never forget about Helga’s story. For 2 hours she sat and wept while thousands walked to and fro in the airport. Helga looked al me and said, “Houston, not a single person stopped and asked if I was okay that day.” It was that day that I realized how much we need each other. It was that day I realized that kindness isn’t normal.
Kindness isn’t normal. That has stuck with me all these years especially now. I work in schools nationwide speaking about sympathy, kindness, empathy (同理心) and love. I’m reminded all the time that, for many of us, kindness is not usually our default setting. We spend so much time worrying about our problems, our lives, our insecurities, getting to our flight so we walk by or ignore people in need of help.
So, I’ve made it my mission to do my part in sharing stories with students, teachers, and parents about our need for character and sympathy. I’m always be on the lookout for the little opportunities that surround me every day to do something nice.
1、What impressed the author most about Helga’s story?
A．Helga’s anxiety over her father’s sudden illness.
B．Helga had no one to talk to on her flight lo Arizona.
C．Helga was ignored by people around her when she cried.
D．Helga couldn’t get over her sadness over her Father’s death.
2、Which can best explain the underlined part “default setting” in paragraph 5?
A．Usual way of doing things. B．Unexpected way to do things.
C．Ignorance to people around. D．Biggest surprise to others.
3、What can we know about the author?
A．He started many clubs in high school. B．He used to be a school teacher.
C．He teaches kids how to behave well. D．He is a promoter of a good cause.
4、What can be a suitable title for the text?
A．Comforting People in Need B．Making Kindness Normal
C．Ignoring Unnecessary Troubles D．Practising Kindness on the Plane
24．（8分）To me, inspirations mean to put my thoughts, heart, and creations into my jewelry. Sometimes I become so inspired with what I’m working on that I can finish one or more sets in less than an hour. Because of that feeling, I have named my jewelry collection “Inspirations”.
I am a 17-year-old senior with sickle-cell anemia. With this, I am in and out of the hospital a lot. So I started making jewelry a year ago when I was in the hospital. I really needed something to do, so I was introduced to jewelry making by a child life expert.
One day while lying in my hospital bed, I decided to get up and go to the patient’s playroom, and look through the craft designs. That was when I became inspired to design my jewelry collection, and named it “Inspirations”.
When I’m not sick, I try to keep a positive attitude through reading, schoolwork, and craft activities. Even though it’s a lot of work, I try to stay focus at all times. When I need a break or just to be free I turn to my craft activities. This is a way to ease my mind and it always helps me to especially get through those stressful times.
I am getting very excited about graduating next year and preparing myself for college. Who knows my collection of Inspirations, would take me to the places I always dreamed of? I may see celebrities I admire and even sell them some of my beautiful “Inspirations”. If they wear my “Inspirations,” it will become well known and more demanding. What a great way to make some extra money for college! I never thought being sick would bring me “Inspirations”. I want people to look beyond my illness and see the creations I’ve made in my collection called “Inspirations”.

A．A hospital. B．A place.

D．The writer plans to be a jewelry designer after graduation.

25．（10分）A young man wandered through the desert for forty until he reached a beautiful castle at the top of a mountain. There lived the sage that he was looking for.
With considerable patience, the sage listened attentively to the reason for the boy’s visit, but told him that at that moment he did not have time to explain to him the secret of happiness.
He suggested that the young man take a walk around his palace and come back in two hours’ time.
“However, I want to ask you a favor,” he added, banding the boy a teaspoon, in which he poured two drops of oil. “While you walk, carry this spoon and don’t let the oil spill.”
The young man began to climb up and down the palace staircases, always keeping his eyes fixed on the spoon. At the end of two hours he returned to the presence of the wise man.
“So,” asked the sage, “did you see the Persian tapestries(挂毯)hanging in my dining room? Did you see the fantastic garden that the Master of Gardeners spent ten years in creating?”
Embarrassed, the young man admitted that he had seen nothing.
“So, go back and see the wonders of my world,” said the wise man. “You can’t trust a man if you don’t know his house.”
Now more at ease, the young man took the spoon and wandered again through the palace, this time paying att
