最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。
A
It’s great fun to explore new places—it feels like an adventure, even when you know you’re not the first to have been there. But make sure not to get lost or waste time going round in circles. ● Do the map reading if you’re being driven somewhere. It’ll be easier if you keep turning the map so it follows the direction you’re traveling in. Keep looking ahead so that you can give the driver lots of warning before having to make a turn, or you’ll have to move to the back seat. ● Get a group of friends together and go exploring. You’ll need a good map, a compass , a raincoat, a cell phone to call for help in case you get lost, and a bit of spare cash for emergencies . Tell someone where you’re going before you set out and let them know what time you expect to be back. The test is in not getting lost, not in seeing how fast you can go, so always stick together, waiting for slower friends to catch up.
● See if your school or a club organizes orienteering activities, in which you need a map and a compass to find your way. This can be done as a sport, with teams trying to find the way from A to B (and B to C, etc. ) in the fastest time, or simply as a spare-time activity. Either way, it’s not only good fun, but a great way to keep fit.
21. Sitting beside the driver, you should ______. A. keep looking at the map to find a place to go to B. move to the back seat if feeling uncomfortable C. look ahead to see where there’s a turn D. direct the driver when necessary
22. Why do you need to tell someone your exploration plan before setting out? A. To be saved in case of an accident. B. To get needy information when in danger. C. To share the fun with him/her in exploration.
D. To tell him/her what’s going on with the group members. 23. Orienteering activities can _______. A. make people work fast B. help people organize other activities C. help people stay healthy D. make people get prepared for sports 24. The text mainly talks about ______. A. the fun of exploration
B. what to bring for exploration
3
C. the way to use the map in exploration D. how to prevent getting lost in exploration
B
This year some twenty-three hundred teenagers from all over the world will spend about ten months in U. S. homes. They will attend U. S. schools, meet U. S. teen-agers, and form impressions of the real America. At the same time, about thirteen hundred American teen-agers will go to other countries to learn new languages and gain a new understanding of the rest of the world.
Here is a two-way student exchange in action. Fred, nineteen, spent last year in Germany with George’s family. In turn, George’s son Mike spent a year in Fred’s home in America.
Fred, a lively young man, knew little German when he arrived, but after two months’ study, the language began to come to him. School was completely different from what he had expected----much harder. Students rose respectfully when the teacher entered the room. They took fourteen subjects instead of the six that are usual in the United States. There were almost no outside activities.
Family life, too, was different. The father’s word was law, and all activities were around the family rather than the individual. Fred found the food too simple at first. Also, he missed having a car.
―Back home, you pick up some friends in a car and go out and have a good time. In Germany, you walk, but you soon learn to like it.‖
At the same time, in America, Mike, a friendly German boy, was also forming his idea. ―I suppose I should criticize American schools,‖ he says. ―It is far too easy by our level. But I have to say that I like it very much. In Germany we do nothing but study. Here we take part in many outside activities. I think that maybe your schools are better in training for citizens. There ought to be some middle ground between the two.‖
25. The whole exchange program is mainly to _____. A. help teenagers in other countries know the real America B. let students learn something about other countries C. send students in America to travel in Germany D. have teenagers learn new languages
26. According to the passage, we can infer that _____. A. German schools were not as hard as American schools B. Both of them disliked their own country’s educational model C. there was some middle ground between the two teaching buildings
4
D. a better education should include something good from both America and Germany 27. What’s the writer’s attitude in writing this passage? A. Objective
B. Persuasive
C. Subjective C
Maybe ten-year-old Elizabeth put it best when she said to her father, ―But, Dad, you can’t be
D. Defensive
healthy if you’re dead.‖
Dad, in a hurry to get home before dark, had forgotten to wear his safety belt—a mistake 75%
of the US population make every day. The big question is why.
There have been many myths (false ideas) about safety belts ever since their first appearance in cars some forty years ago. The following are three of the most common. Myth Number One: It’s best to be ―thrown clear‖ of a serious accident.
Truth: Chances are that you would travel through a windshield or door and get out of your car without wearing the safety belt. But any accident serious enough to ―throw you clear‖ is also going to be serious enough, only giving you a very bad landing. Studies show that chances of dying after a car accident are twenty-five times greater in cases where people are ―thrown clear‖. Myth Number Two: Safety belts trap people in cars that are burning or sinking in water. Truth: Sorry again, but studies show that people knocked unconscious due to not wearing safety belts have a greater chance of dying in these accidents. People wearing safety belts are usually protected to the point of having a clear head to free themselves from such dangerous situations, not to be trapped in them.
Myth Number Three: Safety belts aren’t needed at speeds of less than 30 miles per hour. Truth: When two cars traveling at 30 mph hit each other, an unbelted driver would meet the windshield with a force equal to diving head first into the ground from a height of 10 meters. 28. Why did Elizabeth say to her father, ―But, Dad, you can’t be healthy if you’re dead?‖ A. He was driving at great speed. B. He was running across the street. C. He didn’t take his medicine on time. D. He didn’t have his safety belt on.
29. According to the text, it is very dangerous for you to be ―thrown clear‖ in a serious accident for you ______.
A. may get caught in the car door B. may be knocked down by other cars
C. may find it impossible to get away from the seat D. may get seriously hurt being thrown out of the car 30. What is the advice given in the text? A. Never drive faster than 30 miles an hour.
5
B. Tie your belt to save yourself in a car accident. C. Never forget to wear the safety belt while driving. D. Drive slowly while you’re not wearing a safety belt. 31. The passage is mainly developed _____. A. by space
B. by example
D
A serious problem for today's society is who should be responsible for our elderly and how to improve their lives. It is not only a financial problem but also a question of the system we want for our society. I would like to suggest several possible solutions to this problem.
First, employers should take the responsibility for their retired employees. To make this possible, a percentage of profits should be set aside for this purpose. But when a company must take life-long responsibility for its employees, it may suffer from a commercial disadvantage due to higher employee costs.
Another way of solving the problem is to return the responsibility to the individual. This means each person must save during his working years to pay for his years of retirement. This does not seem a very fair model since some people have enough trouble paying for their daily life without trying to earn extra to cover their retirement years. This means the government might have to step in to care for the poor.
In addition, the government could take responsibility for the care of the elderly. This could be financed through government taxes to increase the level of pensions. Furthermore, some institutions should be created for senior citizens, which can help provide a comfortable life for them. Unfortunately, as the present situation in our country shows, this is not a truly viable answer. The government can seldom afford to care for the elderly, particularly when it is busy trying to care for the young.
One further solution is that the government or social organizations establish some working places especially for the elderly where they are independent.
To sum up, all these options have advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, it is reasonable to expect that some combination of these options may be needed to provide the care we hope to give to our elderly generations.
32. What is the passage mainly about? A. The problems faced by the old in society. B. Why we should take responsibility for the old. C. How we can improve the lives of the old. D. Where the old can go to get their pensions.
C. by time
D. by process
6
33. The underlined word \ \ A. impossible B. practical C. useful D. important 34. What is the writer's main purpose in writing this article? A. To point out the need for government support for old people. B. To make general readers aware of the problems of retired people. C. To discuss some possible solutions to an important social problem. D. To instruct retired people on how they can have a happier life. 35. The text is most likely to be found in a book about____.
A. social science B. historical events C. political problem D. political systems 第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)(任娇月老师提供)

As the pace of life continues to increase ,we are fast losing the art of relaxation. ____36____ But relaxation is essential for a healthy mind and body.
Stress is an natural part of everyday life and there is no way to avoid it.____37____ A certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and give purpose to life. It is only when the stress gets out of control that it can lead to poor performance and ill health. So don’t be too scared of stress in the daily life.
_____38_____ Some people are not afraid of stress,and such characters are obviously prime material for managerial responsibilities.They can promote themselves to a successful state of work and make some surprising achievements under stress as they have the ability to tramform stress into their motivitation. ____39____. They often choose to escape from reality when meeting obstacles. In fact we make choice between \or \and in more primitive days the choice made the difference between life or death. The crises we meet today are unlikely to be so extreme,but however little the stress is,it involves the same response. ____40____. Such serious conditions as high blood pressure and heart disease have established links with stress.Since we cannot remove stress from our lives(it would be unwise to do so even if we could),we need to find ways to deal with it.
A. Relaxation is playing an increasingly important role in our daily life.
B. The amount of stress a person can withstand depends very much on the individual.
C. It is when such a reaction lasts long,through continued exposure to stress,that health becomes endangered.
D. Others lose heart at the first sight of unusual difficulties.
7
E. Once you are in the habit of rushing through life, being on the go from morning till night, it is hard to slow down.

On a hot summer day, I seek shade at a waterfront cafe on a Greek island. Over a hundred degree in the air. Crowded. Tempers of both the tourists or waiters had risen to meet the situation, making it the quarrelsome environment.
At the table next to mine sat an attractive, well-dressed couple,waited for service.They held hands, whispered, and kissed. Suddenly they picked up his metal table and stepped together off the edge of what they were sitting to place the table in the sea water. The man stepped back on the two chairs.

书面表达
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to tell you something about the digital camera I purchased from your website a fortnight ago. Much to my disappointment, it never seems to work normally. First of all, the picture isn’t so clear as you claimed. In addition, it’s awkward to handle, which has brought me much trouble. What I expect is a human–friendly one. Worse still, it often breaks down, while a digital camera at such a lavish price isn't expected to have so many problems.
Due to its poor quality and the considerable inconvenience it has caused, I wonder whether you can do something about it. It would be greatly appreciated if I could get my money back. I’ll send it back to you immediately you return the money to me. If it can’t be helped, I wish you could at least have it repaired or changed.
I’m looking forward to your earliest reply. With best regards!
Yours,
Li Hua
