Here are several destinations we’ve selected from four Asian countries for your adventure. Check them out:
Mongolia
Almost no one visits the country, and most people aren’t aware of the amazing potential it has. Head to Mongolia’s best-known national park, Terelji. If you intend to watch performances of archery(射箭)or enjoy outdoor adventures from bird-watching to hiking and climbing or horseback riding through grassy steppes and forest-covered mountains, you can spend a night in a traditional tent.
Indonesia
Offering the chance for world-class diving to visit the world’s biggest Buddhist temple, and to see amazing wildlife, Indonesia is a must-visit. A must-visit for anyone in Indonesia is Mount Ijen. It’s in East Java, the highest point of which is home to the most active volcano in the country, Mount Merapi. But the Blue Fire Crater is the spot we recommend you to visit.
Malaysia
Want to achieve something great on your next Asian adventure? You should consider climbing one of the highest mountains in Southeast Asia. Kinabalu National Park in Malaysia is the home of Mount Kinabalu, the mountain that around 40,000 people from all around the world go to climb every year. The journey normally takes two days.
China
In Shanxi province of the country lies the world’s most dangerous hiking trail(路線). It’s up Mount Huashan, which is only 2,155m high. But the dangerous part is not the top, but the narrow, wooden boards you have to climb up to reach the top. They’re fixed onto the mountainside in a way that doesn’t look very secure. Nevertheless, many adventurers try and take a hair-raising picture as they climb up.
21.Where can tourists experience local life?
A. Kinabalu National Park. B. Terelji.
C. Mount Huashan. D. Mount Ijen.
22.What is special about Mount Huashan?
A. It has amazing scenery. B. It is very high.
C. It has the most dangerous route. D. It is perfect for taking pictures.

B
To find an entrance to the deserted plant without being noticed, George Wilson sneaked around the fence, a bag on his back and his hands in his pockets.
However, George thought twice when a guard dog appeared. “I’m not afraid of the gatekeeper—at least I can try to persuade him. But a dog? Forget it. I’ll find another way. "While planning his special visit to the plant, the 25-year-old did some research, but still failed to locate the entrance.
George is among the thousands who are crazy about “taking adventures”, which they call urban exploration, or “urbex”. The aim is to explore structures—usually abandoned ruins or “hidden parts of the man-made environments”.
One of the most common examples of urban exploration is venturing(冒險) into abandoned structures, which usually include amusement parks, factories, power plants, missile silos, fallout shelters, hospitals, asylums, schools and houses.
Urban explorers are interested in visiting such sites, as they can discover “other parts of a city” and get to understand its history from a different angle.
George, who worked for a German company in New York for six months, said he enjoyed the contrast between the city’s two sides—modern and crowded, compared with old-fashioned and silent—and wanted to learn more about the city during his short stay.
George said that he was able to finally sneak in through another entrance, yet he was still asked to leave by a gatekeeper shortly after. But he then managed to get into a newly built residential block, climbed to the top and took a picture of the factory ruins at sunset.
“I will come back another day,” he said.
24. What made George fail to enter the entrance first?
A. The gatekeeper. B. The fence. C. The bag. D. The dog.
25. What do we know about George Wilson in the passage?
A. He is frightened of nothing.
B. He loves exploring natural environment.
C. He takes an interest in old buildings.
D. He enters a place easily every time.
26.Why are the urban explorers keen on visiting the abandoned structures?
A. Because they can know the history of the city.
B. Because they can visit different kinds of places.
C. Because they can move from one country to another.
D. Because they can do all the researches.
27. What’s the passage mainly about?
A. how to explore an abandoned plant.
B. a kind of adventurer—urban explorers.
C. Ye Tian’s love for abandoned structures.
D. how to explore a city’s history.
C
The National Center for Health Statistics has carried out a research, which is viewed as an important evidence of the “Hispanic mortality paradox (西班牙裔死亡率悖論).”
On average, Hispanics live longer than whites and blacks. Their life expectancy at birth in 2006 was 80.6 years, compared with 78.1 for whites, 72.9 for blacks and 77.7 years for the total population.
The report shows that although Hispanic socioeconomic status (社會經(jīng)濟地位) are lower than that of whites,they have higher life expectancy at birth and at almost every age. “Mortality is closely connected with income, education and health care access,” says Elizabeth Arias, author of the report. “According to these, the Hispanic population should have a higher mortality than Whites, the same as the black population.” But in fact, they don’t.
The Hispanic paradox has been recorded for more than two decades, but this is the first time the government has had enough data to issue national numbers. Researchers are struggling to explain why Hispanics live longer.
“We don’t know,” says David Hayes-Bautista, director of the Center for the Study of Hispanic Health and Culture at UCLA’s David Geffen School of Medicine. “We thought there was a problem in the data, but we can pretty much say this is real.”
Potential factors:
·Culture and lifestyle. Due to the support from extended family and lower rates of smoking and drinking, Hispanic groups in particular have very strong family and social ties and healthy lifestyle.
·Migration. The “healthy migrant effect” argues that healthy people are more likely to migrate. And when immigrants become ill, they might return home and die there.
“Solving the puzzle may help the nation deal with health care issues because Hispanics use health services less—they make fewer doctors visits and spend less time in hospitals,” Hayes Bautista says. “It’s clearly something in the Hispanic culture,” he says.
28. In 2006, Hispanics’ life expectancy is years longer than the average of whites.
A. 2. 9 B. 2. 5 C. 80. 6 D. 7. 7
29. What is the main idea of paragraph three?
A. Even experts can’t explain the phenomenon.
B. Morality is closely related with health care access.
C. Whites should have longer life expectancy.
D. Hispanics were born better than whites.
30. What’s Mr. Hayes Bautista’s opinion about the paradox?
A. He supports the healthy migrant effect is the most important factor.
B. He thinks there is a problem with the data.
C. he believes health care has much effect on the paradox.
D. He holds the view that the cultural factor influences the paradox.
31. Which of the following conclusions is true according to the passage?
A. Hispanics might have healthier ways of life.
B. Black people suffered the lowest social status in American.
C. White people don’t have strong family ties.
D. Only healthy people can immigrate into America.
D
As children, we were taught that only by studying hard and getting good results at school could we become successful. But actually, the good boys and good girls may just end up doing a job they are not fond of. Why is it like that? The answer is that what you need for a good and successful life is not really learned at school.
Basically, whether you’re good or not at school very much depends on the teachers’ expectations. But in reality, there are many aspects to take care of aside from the school subjects, for example, what to do to be a happy person, how to maintain a healthy relationship, how to work smartly and what to do to lead a meaningful life, etc.
Doing well at school differs from doing well in life. You may have already known that Steve Jobs, Richard Branson, Oprah Winfrey and Jim Carey didn’t perform very well at school. In fact, there are a lot more than just the "big shots "who are successful in life without completing school.
Life is really a long lesson, so long that you can’t define a person’s success by just one section of it. If you have already finished school, keep learning because what you learned at school will never be enough to lead a great life. If you are still studying, whether you are good or bad at school, don’t take your school results too seriously. If you are a parent or a teacher, don’t just focus on the grades the children get. Try to discover their potentials and make the most of their talents. That’s how they build confidence and eventually lead a successful life.
32. What do we know from the text?
A. Whether to be good students or not depends on students themselves.
B. Good performance at school promises successful life.
C. School subjects are less important than other aspects.
D. Everything needed in life can not be learned at school.
33. What does the underlined phrase "big shots "in paragraph 3 mean?
A. excellent students B. important persons
C. famous stars D. successful businessmen
34. Which point of view may the author support?
A. Students must strictly obey school rules.
B. Excellent students will have more opportunities.
C. Teachers should set a good example to students.
D. Parents shouldn’t always focus on their kids grades.
35. What might be the best title for the text?
A. The Importance of Lifelong Learning
B. The Secret to Being Successful in Life
C. Success at School doesn’t Equal Success in Life
D. What We Need for a Successful Life

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容,從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。
Can You Trust Your Brain?
Your brain lies to you a lot. ____36____Even when your brain is doing important and difficult stuff, you’re not aware of most of what’s going on.
Your brain doesn’t intend to lie to you, of course. For the most part, it’s doing a great job, working hard to help you survive and achieve your goals in a complicated world. Because you often have to react quickly to emergencies and opportunities, your brain usually tries to get a simple answer in a hurry rather than a prefect answer that takes time to work out. But as the world is not simple, this means that your brain has to take shortcuts and make a lot of assumptions. ____37____
The problem start when the brain takes in information from the world through the senses. Even if you are sitting quietly in a room, your brain receives far more information than it can hold on to or than you need to decide how to act. You may be aware of the detailed pattern of colours in the rug, the photographs on the wall and the sounds of birds outside, but quickly forgets them. ____38____
When people look at complicated pictures, they can identify differences if the images remain still. But if the image moves quickly, then they have a lot more trouble. ____39____ To test this, psychologists have tried more interesting ways of getting people to fail to notice things. In one of our favorites, a researcher approaches someone on the street and asks for directions. While the person is replying, workmen carry a large door between the two people, blocking their view of each other. Behind the cover of the door, the person who asked for directions is replaced by another researcher who carries on the conversation as if nothing had happened. Even when the second person looks very different from the first, the person giving the directions has only about a fifty per cent chance of noticing the change. ____40____
A. Your brain’s lies are in your best interest—most of the time—but they also lead to predictable mistakes.
B. This is because we imagine that we remember more details than we really can.
C. The experiments illustrate that you are only aware of a little bit of what’s going on in the world.
D. Your brain selectively processes details that are important for you to notice.
E. Usually these things aren’t important so we don’t often notice how much information we lose.
F. This happens because our visual memory isn’t very good.
G. We’re sorry to have to tell you this but it’s true.

Arthur was messy. He didn’t try to make messes, but he didn’t try to clean up much, either. There were always small pieces of food on the table when he was done eating. His socks never made it into the hamper (洗衣籃). And he only picked up his toys when Mom threatened to throw them away. Most days, Mom followed Arthur around the house and cleaned up after him. She brushed the crumbs (碎屑) into her hand and threw them away after meals. She picked up his socks and made sure they got washed, dried and folded neatly before going back in the drawer. She often picked up his toys when he left them to do something else.
One day, Mom asked Arthur to pick up his toy trains. “Not right now,” Arthur said. He was reading a comic book. The trains had been on the living room floor since the morning.
“You know what, Arthur? I’m not going to ask you again. I’m done cleaning today.” And with that. Mom put her feet up on the sofa and picked up a book to read.
At dinner time, Arthur noticed that there was a big pile of crumbs at his place at the table. Mom’s spot was nice and clean. Arthur didn’t like the crumbs very much. After dinner, Arthur’s feet felt cold. He went to his room and opened his drawer, but the drawer was empty. “Mom, where are my socks?” Arthur called.
“There weren’t any socks in your hamper, so I didn’t wash them,” Mom said. Arthur felt unhappy. Now his feet would be cold, unless he wanted to wear dirty socks from the floor. He decided to stay barefoot.
When it was time for bed, Arthur said good night to Mom and turned to go upstairs. Arthur stepped right on his toy train in his bare feet. “Ouch!” cried Arthur. “That really hurt !”

英語試題答案解析
A
【語篇解讀】這是一篇應(yīng)用文。文章介紹了從四個亞洲國家分別選擇了能夠進行探險的目的地。
21.【答案】B
【解析】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Mongolia部分中的Head to Mongolia’s best-known national park, Terelji. If you intend to watch performances of archery(射箭)or enjoy outdoor adventures from bird-watching to hiking and climbing or horseback riding through grassy steppes and forest-covered mountains, you can spend a night in a traditional tent.可知,前往蒙古最著名的國家公園Terelji。如果你想觀看射箭表演,或享受戶外冒險活動,從觀鳥到徒步旅行、爬山,或騎馬穿越長滿青草的大草原和森林覆蓋的山脈,你可以在傳統(tǒng)的帳篷里度過一個晚上。由此可知,在Terelji游客可以接觸到當(dāng)?shù)氐纳睢9蔬xB項。
22.【答案】C
【解析】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)China部分中的In Shanxi province of the country lies the world’s most dangerous hiking trail(路線). It’s up Mount Huashan, which is only 2,155m high.可知,在中國的陜西省有世界上最危險的徒步旅行路線。它在華山上,只有2155米高。由此可知,華山的特別在于它有最危險的路線。故選C項。
23.【答案】D
【解析】推理判斷題。根據(jù)Mongolia部分中的If you intend to watch performances of archery(射箭)or enjoy outdoor adventures from bird-watching to hiking and climbing or horseback riding through grassy steppes and forest-covered mountains, you can spend a night in a traditional tent. 根據(jù)Indonesia部分中的A must-visit for anyone in Indonesia is Mount Ijen. (印尼的伊真山是每個人必去的地方),Malaysia部分中Kinabalu National Park in Malaysia is home to Mount Kinabalu, the mountain that around 40,000 people from all around the world go to climb every year.(馬來西亞的基納巴盧山國家公園是基納巴盧山的所在地,每年大約有來自世界各地的4萬人去攀登這座山)及China部分中的But the dangerous part is not the top, but the narrow, wooden boards you have to climb up to reach the top. They’re fixed onto the mountainside in a way that doesn’t look very secure. (但是危險的地方不是頂部,而是你必須爬上去才能到達頂部的狹窄木板。它們以一種不太安全的方式固定在山腰上)可知,這四個地點都是在山區(qū)里。故選D項。
B
【語篇解讀】本文是一篇夾敘夾議文,以George Wilson為例介紹了城市探險家,他們熱衷于參觀廢棄的建筑,希望從不同的角度了解城市的歷史。
24. 【答案】D
【解析】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中的“However, George thought twice when a guard dog appeared. “I’m not afraid of the gatekeeper—at least I can try to persuade him. But a dog? Forget it. I’ll find another way.”可知,然而,一只看門狗讓George三思。“我不怕看門人,至少我可以盡力說服他,但是狗呢?算了吧,我會另辟蹊徑的。”也就是說那條看門狗讓George沒能從入口進去,故D項正確。
25. 【答案】C
【解析】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段“George is among the thousands who are crazy about “taking adventures”, which they call urban exploration, or “urbex”. The aim is to explore structures—usually abandoned ruins or “hidden parts of the man-made environments”.”可知,George是成千上萬對冒險感興趣的人中的一員,他們把這種冒險稱為城市探險,其目的是探索建筑結(jié)構(gòu)——通常是廢棄的廢墟或隱藏的人造環(huán)境的組成部分,由此可知,他對老建筑感興趣,故C項正確。
26.【答案】A
【解析】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第五段“Urban explorers are interested in visiting such sites, as they can discover “other parts of a city” and get to understand its history from a different angle.”可知,城市探險家有興趣參觀這些廢棄的地方,因為他們可以發(fā)現(xiàn)“城市的其他部分”,并從不同的角度了解其歷史,也就是說,城市探險家熱衷于參觀廢棄的建筑是因為他們可以了解城市的歷史,故A項正確。
27. 【答案】B
【解析】主旨大意題。本文是以George為例介紹了城市探險家,他們熱衷于參觀廢棄的建筑,希望從不同的角度了解城市的歷史。故B項正確。
C
【語篇解讀】這是一篇說明文。文章講述了西班牙裔死亡率悖論,即盡管社會經(jīng)濟地位低于白人,西班牙裔人壽命更長。
28. 【答案】B細節(jié)理解題。有第二段中的“Their life expectancy at birth in 2006 was 80.6 years, compared with 78.1 for whites, 72.9 for blacks and 77.7 years for the total population.”(2006年,他們出生時的預(yù)期壽命為80.6歲,而白人為78.1歲,黑人為72.9歲,總?cè)丝谄骄鶋勖鼮?7.7歲。)可知80.6歲-78.1歲=2.5歲,西班牙裔預(yù)期壽命比白人的平均值長了2.5年。故選B項。
29. 【答案】A段落大意題。由第三段“The report shows that although Hispanic socioeconomic status are lower than that of whites,they have higher life expectancy at birth and at almost every age. “Mortality is closely connected with income, education and health care access,” says Elizabeth Arias, author of the report. “According to these, the Hispanic population should have a higher mortality than Whites, the same as the black population.” But in fact, they don’t. ”(報告顯示,西班牙裔人口在出生時和幾乎每個年齡段都有較高的預(yù)期壽命,盡管社會經(jīng)濟地位低于白人。該報告的作者伊麗莎白·阿里亞斯說:“死亡率與收入、教育和醫(yī)療保健機會密切相關(guān)。”“你會認為西班牙裔人口的死亡率會更高,與黑人人口一樣?!保┛芍靼嘌酪崛丝诘乃劳雎蕰c黑人人口一樣,但事實是西班牙裔人口擁有更長的壽命,報告作者也弄不明白了,可推斷出第三段主要講即使是專家也無法解釋這種現(xiàn)象。故選A項。
30. 【答案】D 推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章最后一段的““Solving the puzzle may help the nation deal with health care issues because Hispanics use health services less—they make fewer doctors visits and spend less time in hospitals,” Hayes Bautista says. “It’s clearly something in the Hispanic culture,” he says。“他說,“解決這個難題可能有助于國家處理醫(yī)療保健問題,因為西班牙使用醫(yī)療服務(wù)的人數(shù)較少,他們減少了看醫(yī)生,減少了在醫(yī)院的時間,它顯然是西班牙文化中的東西”可推斷,Hayes Bautista 是相信文化因素,故選D項。
31. 【答案】A 細節(jié)理解題。 文章只是說,社會地位與壽命有關(guān),卻并沒有提及黑人是美國社會地位最低的,排除了B項。依據(jù)文章,更沒有提及白人家庭關(guān)系的緊密程度,排除了C項。根據(jù)“Migration. The “healthy migrant effect” argues that healthy people are more likely to migrate. And when immigrants become ill, they might return home and die there.”可排除D。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第三段Culture and lifestyle中的表述,可知A項正確。故選A項。
D
【語篇解讀】本文是一篇議論文。在校學(xué)習(xí)成績好可以和未來的成功畫等號嗎?其實學(xué)校中的常勝將軍往往并非人生贏家.反之亦然。
32. 【答案】 D事實細節(jié)題。 根據(jù)第二段第一句“ whether you’ re good or not at school very much depends on the teachers’ expectations"(你是否是一個好學(xué)生很大程度上取決于老師的期望。)可知A項錯誤。根據(jù)文章第一句" When we were small,we were taught that if we wanted to be successful。"(小時候,有人教導(dǎo)我們要想成功,就要學(xué)習(xí)成績好。)和第二句中 but in reality表的轉(zhuǎn)折可知,說明事實并非如第一句所說,所以B項錯誤。第二段第二句“ there are many aspects to take care of aside from the school subjects提到除了學(xué)??颇客猓€有很多方面需要考慮,并不表示學(xué)校的科目不重要,所以C項錯誤。根據(jù)第一段最后一句" The answer is that what you need for a good and successful life is not really learned at school"可知選項D正確。故選D項。
33. 【答案】B詞義猜測題。 根據(jù)第三段第二句可知,據(jù)統(tǒng)計,學(xué)習(xí)成績不好的人照樣可以獲得成功,并以蘋果公司創(chuàng)始人史蒂夫·喬布斯、英國維珍集團創(chuàng)始人理查德·布蘭森和美國電視脫口秀主持人奧普拉?溫弗莉等各界名人為例來說明,緊接著的一句“ In fact,there are a lot more than just the “ big shots” who are successful in life without completing school.(事實上,不僅僅是這些 ……沒有完成學(xué)業(yè)但是在生活中獲得了成功。)”。由此可知 shots指的是“重要人物;有影響力的人物”.
34. 【答案】D推理判斷題。 由文章最后一段中" If you are a parent or a teacher,don’ t just focus on the grades the children get. Try to discover their potentials and make the most of their talents. That’s how they build confidence and eventually lead a successful life”可知,作者希望父母或老師不要一味關(guān)注孩子的學(xué)習(xí)成績,而應(yīng)該發(fā)現(xiàn)他們的潛力,釋放他們的才能。故選D項。
35. 【答案】C主旨大意題。 文章第一段中“ But in reality, the good boys and good girls may just end up doing a job they are not fond of.” 這句話是文章主題句,指出學(xué)校中的常勝將軍往往并非人生贏家。文章字里行間也多次表明這一觀點。如文章第三段第一句 “Doing good at school differs from doing good in life”再次點明文章主題,故選C項。

讀后續(xù)寫答案
Paragraph 1
However, Mom was still reading and said nothing. Arthur wasn’t sure if she had heard him or not so he called for help again, but still Mom didn’t come. Then Arthur realized maybe it was he that could solve his problem at that very moment. He quietly picked up the toy train and put it in the box. It only took a minute for him to put the toy away, and now he wouldn’t have to worry about hurting his feet again.
Paragraph 2
“Mom?” said Arthur. “Tomorrow can you show me how to do the laundry so I can wash my socks?” “Of course,” said Mom. “It’s nice to see you begin to learn to take care of yourself. I am always here to do whatever I can to help you become a more independent boy.” Arthur felt better. He didn’t want to wait until the next laundry day to have clean socks again. Maybe being neat wasn’t so hard after all.
溫馨提示: 答案只是個參考,只要學(xué)生能抓住線索——從主人公不收拾房間,一直是媽媽收拾,到媽媽忍無可忍決定給他一次教訓(xùn)再到他自食其果,反思到自己的壞習(xí)慣,改正習(xí)慣。只要考生能大致不偏離主題,自圓其說,語言表達地道通順,這樣的續(xù)寫都是可取的
