A
As one of the most adventurous places to visit in South America, Patagonia deserves some serious travel time. These are my top recommendations for backpacking in Patagonia:
●Patagonia is probably the safest part of South America. I’ve hitchhiked in Chile without problems and would thoroughly recommend this as a form of transport. (Get tips on hitchhiking in South America here.)
●Car hire is also an interesting and rewarding way of seeing Patagonia, although booking in advance during high season is again recommended. I recommend using Rental Cars and suggest you check out this complete guide to planning a Patagonia road trip for essential tips and tricks.
●The shoulder seasons, October — November and March — April, are far quieter and cheaper for backpacking in Patagonia. Accommodation and agencies in some towns are sometimes not running in October or April though.
●Bus schedules vary depending on the season and change year-to-year. Always visit the bus station when you get to a new place to confirm timings and buy tickets for the next leg of your journey. It’s also important to plan additional days into your Patagonia backpacking trip in case you can’t travel on the day you had initially intended. For more information about this subject, check out this detailed guide about getting to Patagonia.
●Self-catering is by far the best way of keeping costs down on these Patagonia backpacking trips. Where possible, I’ve highlighted the best places to stock up on food. I’ve also written in more detail about visiting Patagonia on a budget.
●However, crossing the border between Argentina and Chile, you cannot take fresh fruit, vegetables, cheese or meat. It will be confiscated and if you don’t own up to it (particularly when heading into Chile), you may be fined.
21．Which means of transportation is strongly recommended to Patagonia
A．Taking a taxi. B．Going hitchhiking.
C．Going hiking on foot. D．Taking a bus.
22．What does the text help you know about Patagonia if you want to travel there
A．You’d better hire the local car ahead of time.
B．Bus schedule in all bus stations are always fixed.
C．It’s the best season in October — November and March — April.
D．You’d better take self-catering to save cost when crossing Chile.
23．Where is the passage probably taken from
A．A guidebook. B．A biography.
C．A book review. D．A product advertisement.
B
Probably you have seen photographs of the Grand Canyon, the great valley in the desert country of Arizona. But you must go there yourself to feel its true size and beauty. The Grand Canyon is one of the greatest natural wonders of the world.
The Colorado River formed the Grand Canyon over millions of years. Slowly, the river cut down through hard rocks. At the same time, the land was rising. Today, the canyon is one and a half kilometers deep and 446 kilometers long. The oldest rocks at the bottom of the canyon are more than one billion years old. The width varies from about 200 meters to 29 kilometers across. The rim or top of the canyon is about 2, 300 meters above sea level on the South Rim, and about 3, 000 meters on the other side, the North Rim. As a result, there are different kinds of plants and animals on opposite sides of the canyon. The South Rim is a dry desert country. The North Rim has tall forests.
The canyon looks different at different times of a day, and in different seasons and weather. At sunrise and sunset the black, gold, brown, and orange colours of the rocks are especially clear and bright. In winter, the canyon is partly covered with snow.
The view from the South Rim of the Grand Canyon is the best. Most visitors come to the South Rim and stay in campgrounds or hotels. Every point along the canyon’s edge offers a different view.
The North Rim of the Canyon is quieter. It takes all day to drive there from the South Rim because there is only one bridge across the Colorado River. On the way, you go through Navajo Indian lands, and a colourful pink desert called “The Painted Desert”.
You can walk down into the Grand Canyon, or you can go down on the back of a mule. You can also take a boat trip down the Colorado River, and camp on the beaches at night. But whether you see the Grand Canyon from the top or the bottom, it will be an experience that you will never forget.
24．The best way to feel the size and beauty of the Grand Canyon is________.
A．to see its photographs
B．to listen to the report about it
C．to travel there yourself
D．to watch the TV program about it
25．What made the Grand Canyon
A．The earthquake.
B．The water from the Colorado River.
C．The American people.
D．The strong wind.
26．The sea level on both sides of the Grand Canyon is________.
A．the same B．changing with time
C．different D．very low
27．From the passage we can know that the _________ of the canyon is different at different times.
A．length B．scenery
C．width D．height
C
Some people bring out the best in you in a way that you might never have fully realized on your own. My mom was one of those people.
My father died when I was nine months old, making my mom a single mother at the age of eighteen. While I was growing up, we lived a very hard life. We had little money, but my mom gave me a lot of love. Each night, she sat me on her lap and spoke the words that would change my life, “Kemmons, you are certain to be a great man and you can do anything in life if you work hard enough to get it.”
At fourteen, I was hit by a car and the doctors said I would never walk again. Every day, my mother spoke to me in her gentle, loving voice, telling me that no matter what those doctors said, I could walk again if I wanted to badly enough. She drove that message so deep into my heart that I finally believed her. A year later, I returned to school — walking on my own!
When the Great Depression (大萧条) hit, my mom lost her job. Then I left school to support the both of us. At that moment, I was determined never to be poor again.
Over the years, I experienced various levels of business success. But the real turning point occurred on a vacation I took with my wife and five kids in 1951. I was dissatisfied (不满意) with the second-class hotels available for families and was angry that they charged an extra $2 for each child. That was too expensive for the average American family. I told my wife that I was going to open a motel (汽车旅馆) for families that would never charge extra for children. There were plenty of doubters at that time.
Not surprisingly, mom was one of my strongest supporters. She worked behind the desk and even designed the room style. As in any business, we experienced a lot of challenges. But with my mother’s words deeply rooted in my soul, I never doubted we would succeed. Fifteen years later, we had the largest hotel system in the world — Holiday Inn. In 1979 my company had 1,759 inns in more than fifty countries with an income of $ 1 billion a year.
You may not have started out life in the best situation. But if you can find a task in life worth working for and believe in yourself, nothing can stop you.
28．According to the author, who played the most important role in making him walk back to school again
A．Doctors. B．Nurses. C．Friends. D．Mom.
29．What caused Kemmons to start a motel by himself
A．His terrible experience in the hotel.
B．His previous business success of various levels.
C．His mom’s support.
D．His wife’s suggestion.
30．Which of the following best describes Kemmons’ mother
A．Modest, helpful, and hard-working.
B．Careful, helpful and beautiful.
C．Loving, supportive and strong-willed.
D．Strict, sensitive and supportive.
31．Which of the following led to Kemmons’ success according to the passage
A．Self-confidence, hard work, higher education and a poor family.
B．Mom’s encouragement, clear goals, self-confidence and hard work.
C．Clear goals, mom’s encouragement, a poor family and higher education.
D．Mom’s encouragement, a poor family, higher education and opportunities.

I wanted to be a journalist. But my parents reminded me that math makes money，so off to engineering school I went. In my post-university young-adult life，I've managed to become traditionally successful. As a female engineer，I worked for a big oil company and owned a home. My life was laid out in front of me and I didn't like what I saw.
So，I did what any respectable 24-year-old would do and left my life behind. I said goodbye to my boyfriend and pulled out my suitcase. I threw myself alone into the world with the grace and beauty of a baby deer taking its first steps with skateboards under its feet. I bloodied my knees mountain biking through the red rocks of Utah. I spent four days struggling through Yellowstone with 50 pounds on my back. Two Peruvian women along my Andean journey taught me how to roast coffee and helped me practice Spanish. It wasn't Vienna's cultural museums；it was a sunny piece of grass beside the Danube river with someone from my hostel（青年旅社）who quickly became a friend. It wasn't Yellowstone's Old Faithful geyser（间歇喷泉）launching into the air；it was charging through Montana's ordinary landscape playing music so loud that the car windows shook. The truth is, I didn't actually need to be abroad to have almost any of my favorite experiences. They were just small everyday moments that happened to happen abroad, leading me to realize that the true value of my flight tickets were not the landmarks, but rather becoming an active participant in my own life.
I now spend less time online shopping and more time lying alone on the floor listening to an album cover-to-cover. I ask my friends how they're doing. Sometimes I surprise them with flowers to see them smile. I tell everyone to have a good day.
32．What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 1
A．She found her work challenging.
B．She was dissatisfied with her life.
C．She preferred math to journalism.
D．She dared not talk back to her parents.
33．Why does the author mention the journeys she has taken in the text
A．To prove the importance of travel.
B．To express her joy with new friends.
C．To show what she learned from the travelling
D．To introduce the landmarks she was interested in.
34．How has the travel changed the author
A．She has become more independent.
B．She begins to enjoy her daily life more.
C．She begins to value her family's opinion.
D．She has become more interested in foreign cultures.
35．What message does the author try to convey in the text
A．We should participate actively in our own life.
B．Travel is the best way to spend your holidays.
C．We shouldn't pay attention to what others say.
D．Interest is the best teacher in choosing jobs.

Simple Steps to Manage Your Money
Your money and how you manage it are some of the-most important things in your life. They influence almost everything you do. 36 Here are some steps you can take.
37 The first thing you need to do is know where your money is going. See what you are actually spending your money on. There will likely be a few surprises when you see the results of your tracking. You are probably spending more in the areas than you think.
Set up a budget. 38 To manage your money properly and get ahead without money troubles, you need to spend less than you earn. You also need to record your sources of income and when you receive them. Then, you are able to determine how much of your income is spent on bills and necessities. Plan how you will spend or save any remaining funds.
Keep your budget on track. After tracking your spending for a month, you may see some areas where you can cut your spending. 39
Remember to save some money for unexpected expenses. Now that you know where your money is going and you’re spending less, you can start saving. To get ahead, you need to put aside a percentage of your money. An easy way to start saving is to put a part of your paycheck into a fund. 40 Once you get used to it, you may increase it to 20 percent or more.
Once you start managing your money, you will find out that it makes other parts of your life easier as well.
A．Start tracking your spending.
B．Keep an eye on your pocket money.
C．If possible, work out a spending plan.
D．It’s never too late to save even a small amount of money.
E．Also you’d better review your budget every few months.
F．10 percent of your income is a good amount to start with.
G．Therefore, it is very important to manage your money properly.

67．阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
I always dreamed of giving someone a surprise, one that will be remembered for a lifetime. Well, thanks to a little determination, some luck, and some help of Christmas Spirit, my dream became a reality.
My family is Canadian, although my sister moved down to Australia a few years ago to further her study. She was graduating just before Christmas. However, due to my own school schedule back home, I would not be able to make it in time for her graduation. She was understandably disappointed, and I felt guilty that I was not able to be there for her on this most special occasion.
While I was talking to my school advisor about my term paper the week before my sister's graduation, our conversation changed toward Christmas plans. When I mentioned that I would be missing my sister's graduation by less than 48 hours, she said, “Well, if you want to go, I have no problem with it, so go ahead!"
On hearing the words, I couldn't believe my luck! I nearly jumped for joy. “Just make sure you get permission from administration(管理部门)”, she added. What she said immediately made my heart sink. The administration at my school was well-known for refusing any sort of time-off requests, let alone last-minute requests, which would undoubtedly draw nothing but anger. I almost didn't bother asking, because I knew it would be hopeless and a waste of time. Plus, I knew the answer already: no. But something in me decided to try, just in case. Maybe it was the hope that the Christmas Spirit would somehow affect the administrative office at this time of year.
When I returned home to find the reply from the administration in my email box, I prepared myself for disappointment.

W: For anyone that doesn’t know about you, can you give them an idea

18．B 19．C 20．C
W: Hello, everyone. Today I’ll talk about how to improve your pronunciation. Language researchers say pronunciation and fluency are the biggest barriers followed by grammar, ineffective spoken English. However, most people don’t regard pronunciation as a very important part of communication skills. They’re more focused on vocabulary. One reason is that most people are not even aware of their mispronunciations. So, it’s important to first find out the words you mispronounce. You should listen to experts. By experts, I mean those who are less likely to make pronunciation mistakes. When listening to them，pay attention to words that sound strange- strange because you pronounce the same words differently. When you come across such words, check a dictionary to confirm their exact pronunciations. You can also search for “difficult to pronounce” words and names and make a list of them. The last suggestion is to read aloud. Now you’ve got the correct pronunciations of the words. It’s time to practice reading them every day.

29．A细节理解题。根据倒数第三段中的“I was dissatisfied with the second-class hotels available for families and was angry that they charged an extra $2 for each child. That was too expensive for the average American family. I told my wife that I was going to open a motel for families that would never charge extra for children.”可判断出作者决定自己开办旅馆的原因是他在旅馆的一次糟糕的经历。

67．Paragragh1:
I took a deep breath, opened the email, and started to read. It was an approval! I got the permission! I rubbed my eyes and couldn’t believe my luck—there must be a mistake. But no. I was extremely shocked, failing to contain my excitement. The only explanation I could possibly come up with was that the Christmas Spirit had been lurking in the heart of the administrator when she read my last-minute request. Immediately, I called the airline. Miraculously, even during the busy Christmas season, I was able to change my ticket to arrive the day before my sister’s graduation.
Paragragh2:
With the ticket, I couldn’t wait to call my sister but suddenly an idea occurred to me. Wouldn’t it be so much more fantastic if I could surprise her On my way to Australia, I kept picturing what a state of shock my sister would be in! The instant I arrived at her house, I knocked at the door with my hands trembling. When the door opened, there stood my sister, dumbfounded. I threw my arms around her, saying “I made it! Happy graduation and merry Christmas!” Tears of joy started welling up in her eyes and falling down her cheeks. My presence at her graduation and my surprising arrival was not only the best Christmas present for her but also the very surprise that would be remembered for my lifetime.
