Summer is here. One of the best ways to cool off on a hot summer day is to jump into a swimming pool. Swimming is great exercise, and a trip to a pool or beach is a good way to have fun with
friends._________36_________, so it’s important to stay safe as you do it. Here are a few things you can do to swim safely.
Swim only in areas set for swimming.
Don’t swim unless there is a lifeguard（救生员）on duty. If you’re on a beach near the ocean, this is especially important. In some places, fast currents（急流）can sweep swimmers away without warning. So if a sign says “no swimming”, please take care.

Most pools have deep ends where diving is safe. In natural water, don’t dive unless you know that the water is deep enough._________37_________, causing injury（伤害）or death. Make sure you have a partner with you.

enough,_________39_________ . If you have a pool at home, put a fence（围栏）around it in case children fall in. And if a child disappears, check the pool first.
第四节 阅读表达 阅读下面的短文，然后根据短文内容回答问题。
I am Canadian. I started learning French when I was 10 years old. But my whole experience with the language was in the classroom. All of that changed, however, during my last summer of high school. As a 17-year-old girl, I flew across the country by myself for the first time! I headed for Quebec to live in the province with a
French-speaking host family, who didn’t speak any English. And I would learn French at a local school.
On the first day of school, all of us students were given a test to determine（测定）our language level. We were required to speak only French all summer.
I made every effort to communicate in a second language by making new friends seeing movies and even ordering food from restaurants in French. Though I couldn’t understand most of it at the very beginning, the whole experience was exciting and refreshing.
On weekends, my classmates and I took trips to different places around the province. On one trip, we went whale watching on the St. Lawrence River. Even though it was raining, we could see huge whales swimming around our boat. The most memorable part of our trip was a visit to historic Quebec City. I walked along the stone streets, took pictures of the European-style（欧式的）buildings, and learned some stories there.
,Finally my efforts paid off! At the end of the summer, I was able to communicate pretty well. I couldn’t wait to go back to school and talk with my French teacher. Being fully immersed（沉浸）in a French-speaking environment was a valuable learning experience. And it could be the main reason for my improvement in French. 40. When did the writer fly alone for the first time?
41. How did the local school determine the students’ language level?
42. Did the writer enjoy the experience of communicating in French? 43. What did the writer think of the visit to historic Quebec City?
44. What could be the main reason for the writer’s improvement in French?

第一节 语篇翻译 阅读下面的短文，将划线部分译成英文或中文。
Do you enjoy hitting the books? It doesn’t mean you enjoy beating your books with your hand. That may be reasonable if you don’t understand something inside your books. Hitting the books just means that you are studying hard. You can learn a lot when you hit the books.___45___Especially before exams, most students spend a lot of time hitting the books to get good grades. This is just one example of expressions that can’t be understood by taking them apart（分开）word by word. Expressions like this are called idioms（习语）. They are an important part of a culture’s language. Languages and cultures are closely connected. One example of an idiom in the Chinese language is “dui niu tan qin”, or “to play the lute（拨弦乐器）to a cow.”___46___这意味着某人在说话或写作时不考虑其听众或读者。 Let’s get back to idioms that begin with the word “hit”___47___ There are many of them in English, but it’s not that easy for you to understand.
One common idiom you may hear in English is “hit the road”. It means to leave or to go. You can say, “Hey, I need to hit the road. Can we talk about this another time?” Or simply, “It’s time to hit the road.” When you are tired and you want to go to bed, you can say, “I need to hit the hay（干草）.” It means you want to go to sleep.___48___ That’s because a bed was often a big bag with hay inside in the past.
___49___ 习语使你的语言生动而有趣。 Let’s hit the road to learn some and try to use them.
第二节 情景交际 通读下面的对话，根据上下文补全对话内容。
A: Hey, Joy. This is Steve, calling from the Tianmenshan Mountain of Zhangjiajie! B: Hi, Steve. You are already in Zhangjiajie?! Great to hear you! So _______50_______? A: Oh, amazing! You know, Zhangjiajie is famous for its steep（陡峭的）mountains, which are quite different from those in our country.
B: Really? _______51_______? A: No. Instead of walking, we took the cable car（缆车）.
B: That was also an exciting experience, I suppose. _______52_______? A: For five days. My dad will have an important meeting next Monday. Work comes first.
B: What a pity! Given more time you could visit more places of interest. How about the food there?
A: _______53_______! As a real foodie（吃货）, I enjoy all kinds of traditional food here. And so do my family. B: You do?
A: Yes. And tomorrow we are going to visit Huanglongdong. It is said to be one of the most beautiful karst caves（溶洞）in the world and it has interested so many travellers.
B: Fantastic! Could you please tell me more about it when you are back? A: _______54_______. I’ll see you in a few days. Talk to you soon. B: Thank you Have a nice journey!
