11、oral choices. In the end, however, Martin shows that both good and bad happen to both the people of high moral standard and the corrupt.

You go about your daily business for 12 long years and then suddenly the beach is back, all
18、its glory restored by another storm. This is what happened on the island of Achill, off the coast of Ireland, where people are celebrating the return of the beautiful Ashleam Bay beach that was taken from them in 2005.That in itself is unusual enough, but the story gets even better! You see, another
19、 beach in Achill did a disappearing act once, but took much longer to return.

21、n imagine, everyone on the island of Achill is thrilled to have their sandy beach back, and even though no one knows how long its going to be around for, they are making the most of the time theyve got before it disappears again.Some may be quick to believe climate changes cause the phenomenon, but
22、thats not the reason these two beaches in Achill keep disappearing. Dr Kevin Lynch, a geographer at NUT Galway, says that these occurrences are the result of hydrodynamics (流体力学) and sediment(沉积物) supply, rather than climate changes.Regardless of whats causing them, disappearing and reappearing beac

26、shouldnt punish your kids for lyingGetting your children to stop lying is challenging. There are many influences (TV, movies, video games and some great books) in which lies are common. Children see parents lie to others, if only to be polite. Most parents add to that with tales about the lives and
27、activities of Santa Claus or the Tooth Fairy, or to lessen fears. 16The most common reactions to children who lie are explaining why it is wrong and punishment. 17 Here are three better tools supported by research to use instead.PRAISE: You could ask your child to say something that happened at scho
28、ol that is true. When your child obeys, praise him enthusiastically. Be specific: 18 and give your child a hug or a high five. Aim for one or two interactions (互动) like this a day. If you happen to “catch” your child in a lie, say something like, “That is not true and could get you in trouble outsid
29、e of the home.”MODEL: Explicitly tell the truth. This could be about something that happened when you were a child or something that happened during the day. It need not be dramatic. Another option is to play a game at dinner. Each person tells one thing that was true that day. Again, give a little
30、praise to the child who normally lies if she plays along.DECREASE PUNISHMENT AND MORALIZING: They are unlikely to change behavior or develop the conduct you want. 19 Rather, use very mild punishment (light scolding, short loss of privilege, a brief time-out). More severe punishments (shouting, takin
31、g away something for a week, hitting) are not more effective in actually changing the frequency of lying.- 6 -20 Usually they can be dropped by then. It is unlikely that lying will be completely removed, but with the right encouragement, lying can be dramatically lessened.A. It is not what that is,
32、but about practice.B. As ways of changing behavior, these are ineffective.C. That does not mean ignoring, lying or letting it go.D. “That was great! You told me what happened just like I asked. Wow!”E. Try these procedures for two to three weeks and see where you are.F. “You did a good job, but what
33、 you said was not what Id like to know!”G. Parents do this out of love, but for some children, lying can become a problem.第二部分：英语知识运用（共两节，满分 45分）第一节 完形填空（共 20小题；每小题 1.5分，满分 30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C 和 D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。How can I forget the day?
