The Gold Coast family holidays are always great fun whether you are from Australia or from abroad. There are beautiful beaches, adventure (冒险) parks, nature parks and so much more.
There are so many sights to see here. It is a pity to drive in a car and you'll miss a great part of it. Australia is home to many animals and birds that can only be seen when moving slowly and going into the areas where they live.
When you are on a bicycle, you have the advantage of being able to stop whenever you want to see an interesting animal or bird that you have never seen before. It is a quieter way of transportation as well, so you might even be able to take a picture. When you are on the beach, you can breathe that clean air and view the beauty of the water and sand. It is a totally different experience from passing it in a car.
There are many choices of hiring (租用) a bicycle to experience the Gold Coast. There are stores that will fit a bike perfectly to your size. These bikes for both adults and children are in many kinds and colors to please any taste. If you have ever wanted to try a tandem bike (双人单车), now is your chance, because they have those too.
A bicycle hire on Gold Coast is something that everyone should try at least once. This is a wonderful chance for anyone who likes to cycle and it is also a cheap way to travel with your family.
(1)You'd better not drive in a car on Gold Coast because ________.
A.you will break the traffic rules

Many kids don't drink enough water daily, according to a new study. The study's lead author, Erica Kenney, at first planned to look into the amount of sugary drinks kids were drinking in schools. However, during her research she found that many kids were simply not drinking enough water.
Kenney and her team examined data from a group of 4,000 children, aged 6 to19. The data was taken from the National Health and Nutrition Survey, a study on the health of children in the United States done each year by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention.
While looking through the survey results, she noticed that more than half of the kids who took part in the study were dehydrated (脱水的). Of that group, boys were 76% more likely than girls not to have enough water in their system. Nearly one quarter of the kids in the survey reported drinking no plain water at all.
“These findings highlight (突出) a possible health issue that wasn't given a lot of attention in the past,” Kenney said in a statement. “Even though for most of these kids this is not an immediate and great health risk, this is an issue that could really be reducing quality of life and well-being for many children and youth.”
The United States-National Agriculture Library says average kids need between 10 to 14 cups of water every day. This water can come from a mix of drinks and foods that contain high amounts of water, such as celery, melons or tomatoes. It is also suggested that fluids (液体) come from water instead of sugary drinks that are high in calories and can lead to weight problems.
(1)What was Erica Kenney's purpose in doing the study?
A.To study if kids drink enough water daily.
B.To prove that sugary drinks are harmful to kids
C.To show what kind of sugary drinks kids love.
D.To find out how many sugary drinks kids drink at school.
(2)According to the findings of Erica Kenney's study, we know that ________.
A.school kids cannot find drinkable water easily
B.boys are more likely to get dehydrated than girls
C.sugary drinks are very popular with school kids
D.most kids know the importance of drinking plain water
(3)From the last paragraph we learn that kids________.
A.should drink plain water to lose weight
B.can try to take in water from sugary drinks
C.can eat celery, melons and tomatoes for water
D.should drink no more than 10 cups of water every day
(4)The text mainly tells us that many kids __________.
A.don't like drinking water
B.prefer sugary drinks to water
C.are at risk of health problems
D.don't drink enough water daily

【题目】阅读短文,完成下列问题。
A
In the film The Revenant the Leonardo DiCaprio adventure takes the basic facts of real-life frontiersman Hugh Glass's sufferings and adds extra characters, extra ultra violence and more horse guts.
Hugh Glass was a frontiersman working in the upper Missouri river area in the early years of the 19th century. On a fur trapping expedition in 1823, he was attacked and injured by a grizzly bear.
_____________
Hugh Glass (Leonardo DiCaprio) is one of a group of men finishing up a fur trapping expedition in the wilderness. They are attacked by Ree (Arikara) warriors. Whoosh! Someone gets impaled on a spear. Bang! Someone gets shot off his horse. Crack! Someone's bones shatter. There's a fearless close-up of an arrow thwacking into a face, a gun butt bashing into a face, a flying kick to a face. A horse gets shot in the face. It's exceptionally well choreographed (取景) and filmed.
This scene is based on a real-life incident: In June 1823, Ashley's band of around 70 men was attacked by Arikara warriors –they estimated around 600, though in the film it's more like a dozen.
Characters
In the film, 10 men get away. Fitzgerald is a fighter and racist, so he's the bad guy. Glass is the good guy, because he loves his son (who is half-Pawnee) in a gruff, manly way that involves telling him off a lot. The back story about Glass's love for a Pawnee woman is fiction. It has been suggested the real Glass had such a relationship, but there's no firm evidence –and no evidence that he had any children.
Wildlife
As the men make their way through a forest, Glass happens upon two bear cubs and their angry mama. If you felt pale after the face-smashing scene at the start, reach for the smelling salts. Chomp! Growl! Shake! The bear sniffs him to see if he's dead, then jumps up and down on his back. Splinter! Howl! Slash! Glass shoots the bear. Anyway, while historians are not certain of the precise details, the real Glass did get into a fight with a real bear, sometime in August 1823.
Murder
The men find Glass in a rum old state. Captain Henry pays Fitzgerald, Bridger and Hawk to stay behind until it is time for Glass's inevitable burial. When the captain leaves, Fitzgerald tries to bump Glass off. Hawk interrupts, so Fitzgerald bumps him off instead. This didn't happen in real life, because Hawk didn't exist. In the film, the weak Glass sees Fitzgerald kill his son, giving him an extra motivation to stay alive and seek revenge.
Survival
The real Glass survived his abandonment and dragged his battered body over hundreds of miles of terrain in pursuit of the men who left him for dead. Though he could read and write, Glass never set his story down in his own hand. It was first published by another writer in a Philadelphia journal in 1825. It may well have been modified then. It has been modified many times since.
Hardship
The film has invented some extra obstacles for Glass: it is snowing throughout, even though in real life his trek took place between August and October; the Arikara track him and chase him into a tree; he has to hollow out a dead horse to make himself a sleeping bag. As for the ending, it has been changed in one significant way: in real life, nobody got killed.

(1)We can know for sure after reading the passage that real Hugh Glass _____.
A.finally survived for he was determined to take revenge on Fitzgerald killing Hawk
B.fell in love with a Pawnee woman and soon after they had a clever and brave boy
C.wrote nothing about his suffering despite the fact that he was actually educated
D.nearly got killed by Fitzgerald and Hawk under the instruction of Captain Henry
(2)To play the role of Hugh Glass, Leonardo DiCaprio must have ______.
A.fought against three bears courageously
B.walked in snow with great difficulty
C.rode a horse time and time again
D.grasped skills for surviving in the wild
(3)Which of the following can be the best subtitle for the 4th and 5th paragraphs?
A.Violence
B.Setting
C.Horror
D.Special effects
(4)We can see here and there in the passage that the writer thinks of the movie as a _____ adaptation.
A.faithful
B.disappointing
C.successful
D.heartless
(5)The passage is intended to inform readers _____.
A.how tragic Hugh Glass's experience is
B.how well Leonardo DiCaprio performs in The Revenant
C.how bloody the movie The Revenant is
D.how historically accurate The Revenant is

【题目】The International Painting Contest on Google’s homepage in 2015 may look pretty strange, but it spotlightings a very serious issue: clean water, which is unusual for an 11-year-old from Long Island.

Audrey Zhang, a fifth-grader from Levittown, N.Y, is the winner of this year’s Doodle 4 Google contest, rising to the top of some 100, 000 entries on the theme of “draw one thing to make the world a better place.”

Her piece, titled “Back to Mother Nature,” describes a detailed water-cleaning machine. Zhang worked with a team of artists at Google to animate(使……生动)her drawing.

“To make the world a better place, I came up with a transformative water purifier, a machine used to remove dirty or harmful substances,” Google quoted Zhang as saying. “It takes in dirty and polluted water from rivers, lakes and even oceans, then massively transforms the water into clean, safe and pure water. When humans and animals drink this water, they will live a healthier life.”

She created a whole world around the device—one populated by humans, a whale in a top hat and dragons.

Zhang, s piece is “so vivid and so rich and so full and so complete,’’ Google Doodle team leader Ryan Germick told the Washington Post. “Every leaf seemed to have life in it.”

Along with having her artwork featured on Google’s homepage, Zhang wins a $30,000 college scholarship. In addition, her school will receive a $50,000 Google for Education technology grant, and the company is donating $20,000 in her name to a charity devoted to bringing clean water to schools in Bangladesh.

On Sunday, the night before her work was revealed on net, Zhang told Newsday she was excited by the big win, but said she wouldn’t be awake when her art first went online at midnight.

“I have school-tomorrow, so I can’t stay up late,” she told the paper.

1What’s the passage mainly about?

A. The winner and her work in the painting contest.

B. The team of artists at Google to animate drawings.

C. The painting contest of Google’s homepage in 2015.

D. The water-cleaning machine in the painting contest.

A. Audrey Zhang is creative and self-disciplined

B. a water-cleaning device was made in the contest

C. $50, 000 will be donated in Audrey Zhang’s name

D. Zhang’s piece was printed in all major newspapers

There are lots of insects that farmers hate. But there also are some they like. They protect crops against damage from other insects. A good example is the lady beetle, which is also known as the ladybug(瓢虫).
Lady beetles are a natural control for aphids(蚜虫). Lady beetles are red, orange or black. They often have black spots, though some have light colored spots. Different kinds of lady beetles have different numbers of spots. There are lady beetles with four, five, seven and fourteen spots.
Many of the well-known kinds of lady beetles come from Asia or Europe. They now are common throughout the United States.
American scientists imported one kind of lady beetle, the multicolored Asian lady beetle, as early as 1916. They released them as an attempt to control some kinds of insects. Over the years, the beetle has become established, possibly helped by some that arrived with imported plants on ships.
Experts say over 450 kinds of lady beetles are found in North America. Some are native to the area. Others have been brought from other places. Almost all are helpful to farmers.
The Asian lady beetles now in the United States probably came from Japan. The Asian lady beetle eats aphids that damage crops like soybeans, fruits and berries.
In the southern United States, Asian lady beetles have reduced the need for farmers to use reskilling poisons on pecan trees. This popular tree nut suffers from aphids and other pests that the lady beetles eat.
But some people say the Asian lady beetle has itself become a pest. They worry that the lady beetles may eat their late autumn fruit crops.
Experts say Asian lady beetles may appear in large numbers in some years. But they say the insects are too helpful to be considered as pests.
(1)What do ladybugs look like?
A.All kinds of ladybugs are of the same color.
B.Most of them are red, orange or black.
C.They each have the same number of spots on them.
D.Most of them have fourteen spots.
(2)Asian ladybugs have been in the United States for______.
A.nine decades
B.hundreds of years
C.half a century
D.a century
(3)According to the passage the following statements are supported EXCEPT________.
A.there are more than 450 kinds of ladybugs in North America, including native ones
B.only some imported ladybugs are helpful to the local plants
C.soybeans, fruits and berries are favorites of aphids.
D.pecan trees are common in the south of America
(4)According to the experts, ladybugs are________.
A.more helpful than considered as pets
B.more pests than helpful insects
C.helpful as well as destructive
D.are more destructive than helpful
