【題目】任務(wù)型閱讀
While it's wonderful to share a special trip with friends or family, traveling alone is another experience.
1). Meet new people.
People who are traveling alone seem more approachable to others. Before you know it, you could be chatting with some interesting folks at a sidewalk cafe or even joining a group of like-minded people on the beach.
2).Do everything you want and nothing you don't want.
Have you ever been hesitant to do that half-day at the spa you are eager for because you feel bad leaving your travel partner with nothing to do? If you want to “waste” the day sitting at an outdoor bar drinking a cocktail instead of sightseeing, you won't have to answer anyone.
3).
If traveling makes you a good, smart person, then traveling alone makes you better and smarter. Taking a trip by yourself might seem frightening. However, once you take the courage and get over your fears, you'll feel a sense of energy. A successful single vacation can inspire you to try new things in life.
Great service.
For some reason, service at hotels and restaurants seems better when you're traveling alone. And it's possible that when you make it known, you could be offered a better room or a free cocktail.
A.The key is to keep an open mind and keep safety in mind.
B.Travelling alone makes you truly listen to your inner thoughts.
C.When you travel alone, you don't need to please anyone but yourself.
D.Here are four good reasons why you should try it.
E.It is refreshing.
F.Cheering up.
G.People tend to admire those who travel alone.
【答案】D;A;C;E;G
【解析】這是一篇議論性的文章,講述的是一個人單獨旅行的理由與好處。
(1)此空位于第一段末,第一段總領(lǐng)全文,所以此句應(yīng)具有概括性的特點,以及承上啟下的作用,快速瀏覽下文,觀察到后文分成四個小點,講的是單人旅行的理由。結(jié)合這些特點,故選D
(2)此空位于第二段結(jié)尾,也是第一小點的結(jié)尾,應(yīng)具有總結(jié)此段內(nèi)容的作用,前文講的是如何結(jié)識新的人,這里結(jié)合與前文相關(guān)且具有總結(jié)性的特點,故選A。
(3)此空位于第二小點中,第二點的核心內(nèi)容是:做自己想做的事。聯(lián)系上下文,前文主要說了你曾經(jīng)因離開旅行伙伴而無所是從嗎,后文主要說你可以做自己想做的事不用過問其他人,這一空要做到聯(lián)系文章主旨即單獨旅行并且緊接著前后文與旅行伙伴有關(guān)的話題,使這一段的連接順暢,故選C。

【題目】閱讀理解
It was once common to regard Britain as a society with class distinction. Each class had unique characteristics.
In recent years, many writers have begun to speak of the 'decline of class ' and 'classless society ' in Britain. And in modern day consumer society everyone is considered to be middle class.
But pronouncing the death of class is too early. A recent wide-ranging study of pubic opinion found 90 percent of people still placing themselves in a particular class; 73 percent agreeed that class was still a vital part of British society.; and 52 percent thought there were still sharp class differences. Thus, class may not be culturally and politically obvious, yet it remains an imprtant part of British society. Britain seems to have a love of stratification.
One unchanging aspect of a British person's class position is accent. The words a person speaks tell her or his class. A study of British accents during the 1970s found that a voice sounding like a BBC newsreader was viewed as the most attractive voice. Most people said this accent sounds 'educated ' and 'soft '. The accents placed at the bottom in this study, on the other hand, were regional(地區(qū)的) city accents. These accents were seen as 'common ' and 'ugly '. However, a similar study of British accents in the US turned these results upside down and placed some regional accents as the most attractive and BBC English as the least. This suggests that British attitudes towards accent have deep roots and are based on class prejudice.
In recent years, however, young upper midder-class people in London, have begun to adopt some regional accents, in order to hide their class origins. This is an indication of class becoming unnoticed. However, the 1995 pop song ' Common People ' puts forward the view that though a middle-class person may ' want to live like common people ' they can never appreciate the reality of a working class life.
(1)A recent study of pubic opinion shows that in modern Britain _________.
A.it is time to end class distinction
B.most people belong to middle class
C.it is easy to recognize a person's class
D.people regard themselves socially different
(2)The word stratification in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to_________.
A.variety
B.division
C.authority
D.qualification
(3)The study in the US showed that BBC English was regarded as _________.
A.regional
B.educated
C.prejudiced
D.unattractive
(4)British attitudes towards accent_________.
A.have a long tradition
B.are based on regional status
C.are shared by the Americans
D.have changed in recent years
(5)What is the main idea of the passage?
A.The middle class is expanding.
B.A person's accent reflects his class.
C.Class is a key part of British society.
D.Each class has unique characteristics.

To me, inspirations mean to put my thoughts, heart, and creations into my jewelry. Sometimes I become so inspired with what I'm working on that I can finish one or more sets in less than an hour. Because of that feeling, I have named my jewelry collection “Inspirations”.

Mother Teresa was born on August 26th,1910 in Skopje, Macedonia. She always wrote her birthday as 27th of August because it was the day of her baptism(洗禮), which was always more important to her than her birthday. For her work with the poor around the world, she received the 1979 Nobel Peace Prize.

【題目】根據(jù)短文理解,選擇正確答案。
In 1880, fourteen-year-old Matthew Henson loved to hear sailors tell tales of their exciting lives at sea. The travel, the adventure, the danger, and the steady pay were all attracting young Henson. One day, he found a job as a cabin boy on a beautiful ship called the Katie Hinds. For the next five years, Henson sailed around the world. With the help of the ship's captain and other members of the crew, Henson learned mathematics, navigation, history, geography, and many other subjects. By the time he left the Katie Hinds in 1885, Henson was well educated and had become an excellent seaman.
Unable to find work anywhere else, Henson took a job in a hat shop in Washington, D.C. One day in 1887, a man came in to buy a hat. The man, Robert Peary, asked the owner if he knew anyone with experience at sea. Peary would soon travel to South America for the U.S. government. He needed experienced men to accompany him. The shop owner knew about his young employee's skills and experience on ocean journeys, so he introduced Peary to Henson.
Using his map-reading and sailing skills, Henson proved himself to be a worthy and smart seaman. Peary soon made Henson his assistant(助理), and they became close friends. One day Peary told Henson about his real dream: to be the first man to stand on “the top of the world” at the North Pole. He asked Henson to help him make his dream come true. Over the next five years, the two explorers made two trips together to the Arctic. However, they were not able to reach the pole either time. The cold, wind, and ice were worse than either of them had ever imagined.
In 1908, Peary and Henson were ready to make their final attempt at reaching the North Pole. Both men were over forty years old. The years of hardship in the arctic cold had made them suffer a lot. This would be their last chance. With four Inuit(因紐特)guides, they made a mad rush straight across the ice toward the pole. Peary's feet were injured and he had to be pulled on a dogsled. In April 1909, Henson's instruments showed they were standing at the North Pole. Together Henson and Peary planted the American flag in the snow.
In later years, Robert Peary and Henson were greatly honored for their achievements. Today, the two friends and fellow explorers lie in heroes' graves not far apart in the Arlington National Cemetery.
(1)In paragraph1, the author shows how Henson became ________.
A.a wonderful seaman
B.an educated captain
C.a good shop assistant
D.a successful learner
(2)Paragraph 2 mainly tells us ________.
A.why Matthew Henson went to the hat shop
B.how Matthew Henson met Robert Peary
C.why Matthew Henson stopped working on the Katie Hinds
D.how Robert Peary knew Matthew Henson had sea experience
(3)The following statements are TRUE except ________.
A.Henson proved himself a better seaman than Peary
B.Peary wanted Henson to help him realize his dream
C.Before their final attempt, they made two trips together
D.After they died, they were highly respected by people
(4)The story between Henson and Peary could best be compared to ________.
A.treasure hunters looking for fortunes
B.sailors seeking power over others
C.soldiers fighting for their freedom
D.fighters exploring an unknown land

【題目】閱讀理解
When my students ask me why I live in a tiny house, they ask it in light of all the “sacrifices(犧牲)”I an making. They know that I have moved from a large apartment in the city to a small custom-built home on wheels in the backyard woods. They know I forego running water, Internet connection, sewage(下水道), and reliable phone reception.
However, it was possible for me to be truly happy while living with very few material things. My body responded well, in health, fitness and mood, to a schedule more consistent(一致的)with the natural day and night cycle. Observing the daily sunset, hosting friends for days at a time, reading, writing letters to my families and friends and exploring natural wonders in my spare time all were free and invaluable experiences.
What was necessary to my survival proved to be a rather short list-healthy food, clean and drinkable water, heat source, weather-protecting shelter, weather-suitable clothing, equally important friends and mental and physical stimulations(刺激).
When I returned to life in the US, I couldn't help but sense a deep and uneasy belief that life suddenly changed. I felt disconnected with many things- the earth, others, my food source, my waste disposal, the natural cycle of my body and the productive interests. These are the things I once cared for but now find myself too busy to enjoy. How was it that I was earning literally 40 times my Peace Corps salary and was less healthy, satisfied and intentional in my daily schedule? I found myself asking-what is it to be rich anyway? Therefore, last August I let go of most of my possessions and moved into a tiny house on wheels because I wanted to see if I could live a more enjoyable lifestyle. So far so good. No inconvenience has made up for the many positive benefits that continue to come from this change in lifestyle. I believe that I have made the right decision.
(1)What does the underlined word “forego” in the first paragraph probably mean?
A.Give away.
B.Take along.
C.Care for.
D.Go after.
(2)What interested the author most when living in the tiny house?
A.The natural living schedule.
B.Busy and invaluable experiences.
C.The happiness of the simple life.
D.The very few material possessions.
(3)What did the author feel when he returned to the US?
A.He was behind the times.
B.He wouldn't enjoy the modern life.
C.He was rich enough to enjoy the city life.
D.He was disconnected with the outside world.
