Paris
Paris is a famous tourist place,drawing visitors with its iconic(标志性的) attractions,like the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre.But the city's best advantage is that you're likely to discover something new with each trip or season.To best explore France's ever﹣changing capital,you can learn its secrets on a walking tour,head to art exhibits or have fun at the latest restaurants.
Bora Bora
What this 12﹣square﹣mile Polynesian island may be short of in size,but it makes up for in its tropical(热带的) beauty.Here,you'll find picturesque beaches,heavy jungles and extremely comfortable vacation villages.The friendly Bora Bora locals can help you see the island's best places during an off﹣road hiking.
Glacier National Park
Snow﹣capped mountain and blue lakes are just a few reasons why Glacier National Park is one of America's most attractive parks.There are more than 700 miles of hiking tracks and 13 areas for camping.In winter,travelers can enjoy snowshoeing and skiing,while during the summer vacationers can go swimming in Lake McDonald,among other popular activities.
Rome
When you visit Italy's capital city,you prepare to cross a few must﹣see landmarks—including the Colosseum and the Pantheon.Travelers can also see some of Italy's greatest treasures,including St.Peter's Basilica and the Sistine Chapel.Before leaving,visit some of Rome's lesser﹣known museums,art galleries(美术馆),or head to Janiculum Hill for whole views of the city.

12.(10分) "Peg,do you think I can pull the rope?"The question was asked before we made marks on each of our cows.My father had pulled the rope for years.He knew the answer before he asked,but he asked anyway.I replied,"Dad,I know you can't pull it for all the cows,but for a few you will do great.You get out here and we will give it a go. " When there were only three cows left to be marked,I finally saw Dad driving slowly down the hill.
As he approached,we stopped to wait for him.He drove over slowly,parked his car and got out with great difficulty.He made his way to the rope,not an easy task at 93.Tears were running down his face as well as mine.Dad's tears weren't tears of sadness for what he was no longer able to do,but tears of thankfulness that he was able to pull the rope for three cows.His last words when he left,"There,I worked,now I can eat!"
My dad loved to work and to feel productive,and that day,those three cows were just what he needed.It was the last time my dad would pull the rope.At the age of 95,my dad left us forever,a day he had longed for.He was such a diamond in my life.My dad passed on his love of birds and all farm animals to me.He used to be a brave World War II pilot.He loved my mother,his family,his country and his friends.The lessons he taught me are ones that will never be forgotten.I am grateful for the time and beautiful memories.

13.(10分) The Silk Road is neither an actual road nor a single route.The term instead refers to a network of routes used by traders for more than 2,000 years from the Han Dynasty of China.German geographer and traveler Ferdinand von Richthofen first used the term"Silk Road"in 1877 to describe the well﹣traveled pathway of goods between Europe and East Asia.The term also serves as a symbol for the exchange of goods and ideas between various cultures.Although the trade network is commonly referred to as the Silk Road,some historians favor the term"Silk Routes" because it better shows the many paths taken by traders.
The Silk Road covered over 7,000 kilometers across some of the world's most difficult landscapes,including the Gobi Desert and the Pamir Mountains.With no one government to provide upkeep,the roads were typically in poor condition.Robber s were common.So traders joined together in caravans(商队) with camels or other pack animals.Over time,large pubs called caravanserais appeared to house traveling businessmen.Few people traveled the entire route,giving rise to a host of middlemen and trading posts along the way.
A lot of goods traveled along the Silk Road.Businessmen carried silk from China to Europe,where it dressed royalty and wealthy supporters.Other favorite goods from Asia included jewelry,oil and tea.In exchange,horses,textiles(纺织品) and other goods traveled eastward.
It is hard to overstate the importance of the Silk Road in history.Cultures and ideas spread along the Silk Road just as often as goods.Towns along the route grew into multicultural cities.The exchange of information gave rise to new technologies that would change the world.The Age of Exploration gave rise to faster routes between the East and West,but parts of the Silk Road continued to be important pathways among varied cultures.Today,parts of the Silk Road are listed on UNESCO's World Heritage List.
(1)What is the Silk Road?
A.It is a single route.
B.It is an actual road.
C.It is the exchange of goods and ideas.
D.It is a network of routes used by traders.
(2)Why did traders join caravans?
A.To keep themselves safe.
B.To trade with locals.
C.To travel the entire route.
D.To make travel interesting.
(3)What can we learn from paragraph 3?
A.Textiles were favorite goods.
B.Horses were taken eastward.
C.Oil and tea traveled to Asia.
D.Silk was transported from India to Europe.
(4)What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A.The change of the Silk Road.
B.The advantage of the Silk Road.
C.The significance of the Silk Road,
D.The development of the Silk Road.
14.(10分) Scientists have long known that a good night's sleep is important for brain health,but now there's great news for people who like to take a little nap(小睡) during the day.A new study found that daytime naps can be good for the brain.
Researchers from the University College London in the UK and the University of the Re﹣public in Urugua y looked at small sections of people's DNA.There are 97 sections of DNA in humans that can identify whether a person is likely to be a daytime napper or not.The scientists used data from 35,080 people in the UK between the ages of 40 and 69.They identified people in the study whose DNA made them more likely to nap during the day and people whose DNA indicated they didn't need to nap.The team compared brain scans(扫描检查) of the nappers with scans of the non﹣nappers and noticed some key differences in their brains.
The results showed that those who liked to nap had larger brains than those who didn't.The brain naturally shrinks with age,so this meant that the brains of people who liked to nap aged more slowly than people who didn't nap.The people who napped had brains that were about 9 cubic inches larger than those who didn't nap,which was equal to slowing down aging by three to six years.
Dr.Victoria Garfield,who worked on the study,said the research could help scientists understand how people can keep the health of their brains as they get older.She added,"I hope studies such as this one showing the health benefits can help to reduce any bad impression that still exists around daytime napping."
The researchers didn't have information about how long the naps of people in the study lasted.Other studies,however,have suggested that naps of about 30 minutes are the most helpful for the brain.Taking a nap earlier in the day,rather than in the late afternoon,is less likely to disturb a person's sleep at night.
(1)How did the researchers get the results?
A.By giving examples.
B.By doing experiments.
C.By making comparisons.
D.By referring to documents.
(2)What does the underlined word"shrinks" in paragraph 3 mean?
A.Damages.
B.Grows.
C.Improves.
D.Decreases.
(3)What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A.We should nap as long as possible.
B.Teenagers don't need to nap in the day.
C.Adults should nap in the late afternoon.
D.We'd better nap about 30 minutes in the day.
(4)What is the best title for the text?
A.Older people need daytime naps
B.Adults who nap have bigger brains
C.Daytime naps are good for your health
D.A good night's sleep is important for brain health

Food bank
(2) .This idea made people think—could we set up banks for food?The world's first food bank started in the US in 1967.People and shops give out their extra food to a place,and others in need go there to eat it.(3) .The food bank stores cakes and canned food donated (捐赠) from nearby markets and restaurants.It's free for anyone to enjoy.

B.People waste a lot of food every day
C.It reduces food waste by 25 to 30 percent

I went home one Saturday afternoon in the autumn of 1993 to get some work done in the garden.While I was sweeping the fallen leaves on the ground,my five﹣year﹣old son Nick came over and asked me to write something on a piece of paper to make a sign for him.
"What for?" I asked.
"I'm going to sell some of my stones," he answered,his big eyes looking at me,waiting for my supportive answer.
Nick was fascinated by stones and had collected as many stones as he could from all over."I'm sorry,but you see now I am too busy to do that for you.Go and ask your mother for help," I said.
A short time later,Nick returned with a sign,reading"Stones.One Dollar Each".He took the sign,a small chair and four of his best stones and walked to the road in front of our garden.There he put the stones in a line and sat down on the chair,looking forward to the customers coming over.
Half an hour later,nobody passed by.I walked to him and gently asked him to go back,but he refused firmly.
Another half an hour later,a small car came down the road.I watched carefully in the distance,as Nick stood up,holding his sign up.I couldn't hear their talk but I did see the woman turned to the driver and the man reached for his pocket.
I sat in the yard,as Nick ran to me.Waving the dollar,he shouted,"you have told me if I believe in myself,I can do anything.I told you I could sell one stone for a dollar.Look!Today I made it."
注意:
(1)续写词数应为 150 左右;
(2)请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
His words reminded me of a story happening to me thirty years ago.
"Dad!" Nick drew me back.

13.【解答】(1)细节理解题。根据第一段The Silk Road is neither an actual road nor a single route.The term instead refers to a network of routes used by traders for more than 2,000 years from the Han Dynasty of China.(丝绸之路既不是一条真正的道路,也不是一条单一的路线。相反,这个词指的是从中国汉代开始,商人使用了2000多年的路线网络。)可知,丝绸之路指的是古代商人贸易商使用的路线网络,故选D。
(2)细节理解题。根据第二段With no one government to provide upkeep,the roads were typically in poor condition.Robber s were common.So traders joined together in caravans(商队) with camels or other pack animals.(由于没有一个政府提供维护,这些道路通常状况不佳。抢劫很常见。于是商人们带着骆驼或其他驮畜一起跟着商队走。)可知,商人跟着商队一起是为了保障他们自己的安全,故选A。
(3)推理判断题。根据第三段In exchange,horses,textiles(纺织品) and other goods traveled eastward.(作为交换,马,纺织品等其他货物向东方运输。)可知,马被运送到了东方,故选B。
(4)段落大意题。根据最后一段The exchange of information gave rise to new technologies that would change the world.The Age of Exploration gave rise to faster routes between the East and West,but parts of the Silk Road continued to be important pathways among varied cultures.Today,parts of the Silk Road are listed on UNESCO's World Heritage List.(信息交流产生了将改变世界的新技术。探索时代催生了东西方之间更快的路线,但丝绸之路的部分路段仍然是不同文化之间的重要通道。如今,部分丝绸之路已被列入联合国教科文组织的世界遗产名录。)可知,最后一段主要讲述了丝绸之路的重要性,故选C。
14.【解答】(1)细节理解题。根据第二段The scientists used data from 35,080 people in the UK between the ages of 40 and 69.They identified people in the study whose DNA made them more likely to nap during the day and people whose DNA indicated they didn't need to nap.The team compared brain scans(扫描检查) of the nappers with scans of the non﹣nappers and noticed some key differences in their brains.(科学家们使用了英国35080名年龄在40岁至69岁之间的人的数据。他们在研究中确定了那些DNA使他们白天更容易打盹的人,以及那些DNA表明他们不需要打盹的人。研究小组将小睡者的大脑扫描与非小睡者的扫描进行了比较,并注意到他们大脑中的一些关键差异。)可知,研究人员通过比较得出结果。故选C。
(2)词义猜测题。根据划线词所在句子The results showed that those who liked to nap had larger brains than those who didn't.The brain naturally shrinks with age,so this meant that the brains of people who liked to nap aged more slowly than people who didn't nap.(结果表明,喜欢打盹的人比不喜欢打盹的大脑更大。大脑会随着年龄的增长而自然收缩,这意味着喜欢打盹的人们的大脑衰老得比不打盹的人慢。)可知,shrinks意为"收缩,减少"。A.Damages破坏;B.Grows增长;C.Improves提高;Decreases减少。故选D。

(4)标题判断题。根据全文和第三段The results showed that those who liked to nap had larger brains than those who didn't.The brain naturally shrinks with age,so this meant that the brains of people who liked to nap aged more slowly than people who didn't nap.(结果表明,喜欢打盹的人比不喜欢打盹的大脑更大。大脑会随着年龄的增长而自然收缩,这意味着喜欢打盹的人们的大脑衰老得比不打盹的人慢。)可知,文章主要介绍了打盹对成年人大脑的有好处的。Adults who nap have bigger brains(打盹的成年人大脑更大)是最好的标题。故选B。

15.【解答】(1)联系上文题。根据上文Supermarkets only sell food before its sell﹣by date.So where does food past its sell﹣by date go?(超市只出售过期前的食品。那么过了保质期的食物会去哪里呢?)可知下文是答案,根据常识,过期的食物当然是在垃圾桶里,所以选项A"答案在垃圾桶里"符合语境,故选A。
(2)联系下文题。根据下文This idea made people think—could we set up banks for food?(这个想法引起了人们的思考﹣﹣﹣我们能建立食物银行吗?)可知上文应该提到银行,所以选项D"当我们有多余的钱时,我们把它存到银行里"符合语境,故选D。

(5)联系上文题。根据上文Cafeterias(食堂) in most US colleges don't provide any trays.No trays mean nowhere to put extra dishes.It makes it harder for students to take too much.This small change brings a big difference.(大多数美国大学的自助餐厅都不提供托盘。没有托盘意味着没有地方放多余的盘子。这使得学生很难承受太多。这个小小的改变带来了很大的影响。)可知下文可能用具体的数字说明到底有多大的影响,所以选项C"它减少了25%到30%的食物浪费"符合语境,故选C。

第二节 (共1小题;每小题1.5分,满分15分)阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
17.【解答】(1)考查动名词。句意:一项发表在期刊上的新研究表明,你应该打电话而不是发短信。介词短语instead of后接动词时用动名词形式。故填sending。
(2)考查动词不定式。句意:科学家要求200人通过电子邮件或电话联系一位老朋友。ask sb.to do sth."要求某人做某事",是固定搭配。故填to contact。
(3)考查动词时态。句意:许多人认为打电话会更尴尬。根据语境可知,因讲述的是过去的事情,要用一般过去时。故填thought。
(4)考查副词。句意:但实际上,听到别人的声音会让体验变得更好。修饰句子要用副词形式actually修饰作状语。故填actually。
(5)考查形容词比较级。句意:但实际上,听到别人的声音会让体验变得更好。根据前文by email or by phone可知,此处指两者间的比较级,要用形容词比较级。故填better。
(6)考查定冠词。句意:根据这项研究,人们喜欢发短信是因为他们可以有更多的控制权。前文已提到A new study,此处是第二次提到,加the表示特指。故填the。
(7)考查介词。句意:但另一方面,发短信会让人很难理解对话的真正含义。on the other hand"另一方面",是介词短语。故填on。
(8)考查it用法。句意:但另一方面,发短信会让人很难理解对话的真正含义。it是形式宾语,真正的宾语是动词不定式短语to understand the true meaning of a conversation。故填it。
(9)考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意:打电话更自然。因表示的是一般事实,要用一般现在时,主语Making phone calls是动名词短语,谓语动词用第三人称单数形式is。故填is。
(10)考查定语从句。句意:你不需要过多思考单词和标点符号背后可能的含义,这在文本中是有用的。先行词the words and punctuation在定语从句中作主语,用关系代词which/that引导从句。故填which/that。
