1．September is one of the very best months to visit France.Not only will you get to enjoy plenty of sunshine and warm weather，but the tourist season is beginning to wind down-which means cheaper airfares，lower prices at hotels，and fewer crowds.If this is your first trip to France，here is some handy information to help you get started planning your vacation!
Go Wine Tasting
September is the beginning of the grape harvest season in France，meaning there are plenty of wine-related events and festivals around the country.So September is a great time to visit the vineyards（葡萄園） around the country and go wine tasting.The Bordeaux，Loire and Burgundy regions are all lovely and great places to visit vineyards.Besides that，going to the castles of the Loire region in between visiting vineyards on such warm and sunny days is also very enjoyable.
Take a Barge Cruise
The temperatures are slightly lower，but plenty of sunshine makes for perfect conditions to enjoy a barge cruise on the canals of France.With such comfortable weather and beautiful scenery at this time of year，nothing equals hanging out on the deck of a barge.
Visit the Museums
Many museums in France have extended opening hours during the summer to accommodate the extra tourists and locals，and some museums also have extended opening hours into September.Wandering around the Louvre will take you into a wonder world，where you can enjoy world-famous art.Going out of the Louvre，you can walk to the modern and fashionable Champs Elysees to do some shopping.
Besides the above，riding a bike through France's villages is also a welcome activity for young visitors in September.So，don't hesitate and start to plan your September trip to France now.

2．As a father of four，I'm concerned about how to lead my children to be good young men and women in such an unstable time.I have studied philosophy，mysticism，and religion my entire life.They provide great lessons in responsibility and growth.However，I also recognize that，at least at this point in their lives，my children are not terribly interested in such subjects.While I was reflecting on this，I was reminded of a line in a song I had heard recently.It goes， "If you had only one chance to say something，what would it be？"
That night，I found my two oldest kids lounging on the couch watching a TV show that featured violence，cursing and even some "adult scenes".I quietly sat on a chair next to them.I saw my boy straighten up，and my girl pretended to ignore me.I didn't make any usual comments about the pointlessness of such programs.I didn't even roll my eyes，although this took some effort.I simply asked：
Can you tell me how this will make you a better person？
Without a word，I got up and left the room.About ten minutes later，to my surprise，the children were in their rooms doing their homework and the television was silent.Remarkable.
This philosophy can change the way we live our lives.For example，whenever I feel angry and get the urge to lash out，I ask myself，"How does this acting or feeling the way I do right now make me a better person？" I began to realize that rarely did my thoughts or actions result in self-improvement，so I made conscious efforts to change my mindset and behavior.
We all want to be better fathers，mothers，sons and daughters.Better workers，better leaders，better lovers…this list goes on.Sometimes succeeding in these roles can be tough.But one question connects us with all those duties we possess to society and ourselves，"Is this making me a better person？"
Whatever I said，it worked.My daughter has begun watching nature programs instead of violent TV shows，and she decided to go to school to become a counselor.My son told me he wants to be a police officer.I've since thrown away all those parenting magazines and books I've collected over the years because I made more progress with a single question than I did with hundreds of pages of "experts" advice.
（1）When the writer found his kids watching inappropriate TV programs that night，he appeared.
A．critical
B．indifferent
C．a(chǎn)nxious
D．calm
（2）How can this philosophy change the way we live our lives？
A．By calming ourselves down when we are angry.
B．By providing us with new mindset and behavior.
C．By helping us realize our need for self-improvement.
D．By raising a question about our current action and feeling.
（3）Why did the writer throw away his parenting magazines and books？
A．Because they didn't offer him any help.
B．Because his kids had grown out of them.
C．Because that single question was more useful.
D．Because the expert advice was too much to follow.
（4）The writer wrote this passage to.
A．introduce a life philosophy by telling a parenting story
B．convince teenagers of the downsides to watch TV
C．call on other parents to trust themselves instead of experts
D．inform the readers of how he helped his kids set good goals組卷：10引用：3難度：0.5 -
3．When we see a person in trouble，the first idea that comes to our mind is to lend a hand.But what if we see an animal in trouble，does the same rule apply？
This question was raised after a group of penguins were saved from an icy gully （峽谷） in Antarctica.It was filmed for the BBC wildlife series Dynasties.The film crew were anxious when they saw that a group of penguins had fallen into a gully and been trapped with their young.They built aslope（斜坡）so that a few of the penguins could save themselves.
The case has taken the international media by storm.Viewers watching this film sighed in relief. "I'm so glad.I understand not taking action directly，but a helping hand isn't bothering，right？" viewer Kathryn Shaw said on her Facebook.
However，others think human interference（干涉）is unnatural. "You can't have sunshine throughout your life.To have done anything else would only make matters worse." said the show's creator David Attenborough，according to The Times.
In this case，however，Mike Gunton，the executive producer of the series，said that this was a one-off situation. "There were no animals going to suffer by interfering.You weren't touching the animals and it was just felt by doing this…They had the chance not to have to keep slipping down the slope." he told the BBC.
Such cases are familiar to Paul Nicklen，wildlife photographer for National Geographic.He told Metro，"If it's ever a predator situation，no matter how gut-wrenching，you stay out of the way.Even when you're watching a male polar bear eat a baby bear."
"There's no rule book in those situations.You can only respond to the facts that are right there in front of you." Will Lawson，the show's director，told Daily Mail.
（1）What has led to a heated media discussion.
A．Some penguins' sufferings in a gully.
B．People's various remarks on penguins.
C．Ways of filming the series Dynasties.
D．The rescue of penguins from a gully.
（2）Who holds a positive attitude towards human interference？
A．Kathryn Shaw.
B．Paul Nicklen.
C．Will Lawson.
D．David Attenborough.
（3）Which of the following best explains the underlined word "gut-wrenching" in Paragraph 6？
A．Making one confused.
B．Putting one in place.
C．Making one heartbroken.
D．Putting one in danger.
（4）What can be the best title for the text？
A．Protect animals from dying out
B．Help animals in trouble or not
C．Necessity of lending a hand to animals
D．Human interference on dangerous animals組卷：8引用：2難度：0.5

I started my dormitory life this year and met my roommate Kate.In the process of getting along，we found that we both enjoy reading and watching science fictions.With similar hobbies，our relationship immediately became closer.We went to class and canteen together every day in pairs.
Although we considered each other as the best friend，there were frictions in our life style.I was never very neat，while Kate was extremely organized.Each of her objects had its place，but mine always hid somewhere.She even labeled everything.I always looked for everything.
Over time，Kate got neater and I got messier.She would push my dirty clothing over，and I would lay my books on her tidy desk.We both got tired of each other and never stopped trying to change the other person's life style.Our friendship went ups and downs like a boat on the sea.Dissatisfaction with the other was accumulating.
War broke out one evening.Kate came into the room.Soon，I heard her screaming，"Take your shoes away!Why under my bed!" Deafened，I saw my shoes flying at me.I was rather irritated（激怒）.How could she act like that？I could not control my temper either.I jumped to my feet and started yelling.She yelled back louder.Neither of us was willing to calm down to be a good listener.
The room was filled with anger.We could not have stayed together for a single minute but for a phone call.Kate answered it.From her end of the conversation，I could tell right away her dear grandma was seriously ill.When she hung up，she quickly crawled under her covers，burying her face.From where I stood，I saw her back slightly up and down.Obviously，she was sobbing.That was something she should not go through alone.All of a sudden，a warm feeling of sympathy rose up in my heart.
注意：
1.續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右；
2.請按如下格式在答題卡的相應(yīng)位置作答。
Slowly I began to move._______________
She was watching in disbelief，her tears dried.__________________組卷：13引用：5難度：0.5
