A
I stood at the edge of the cliff. The wind stung my eyes, cutting into my skin. Dark-feathered birds circled the air, swooping low over the ocean every now and then to catch their dinner. Below me, hundreds of feet below, the deep ocean beat against the rough sandy shore. I took a deep breath, filling my lungs with anticipation and excitement —and at the same time, fear.
Behind me, I heard the rest of the crew start to whisper. I was here for the shooting of a movie as I was one of the leading actors in the film Dangerous Things, and this scene was right in the middle of the climax.(高潮) It was vital that this went right.
The director had talked to me about getting a stunt double（替身），but I’d persuaded him that I could handle the dive. I’d taken a diving course a few years before, and I’d been taking swimming lessons since I was five years old, I had been pretty confident that I could do this — up till now.
Someone called out, “Keira, you don’t have to do this! Are you sure you want to dive?” It was one of the producers, Callie Evans. I knew she meant well, but deep in my heart I knew I couldn’t turn back now. I couldn’t bear to see the disappointed look on the director’s face when he was told that I couldn’t do it.
At that moment, all my fears and worries broke free. The anticipation of adventure and triumph seemed to move all the hesitation. I swooped downwards. The air on either side of me cut into my extended arms. I knew that this wonderful feeling of flight would only last a few seconds, yet time seemed to slow down. I could hear the thrilled yell of my crew and a burst of applause that seemed to echo in my ears.
21. By saying “It was vital that this went right”, the writer meant “________”.
A. everything went well as planned
B. it was important to satisfy the crew
C. acting in the film was extremely pleasing
D. what he was going to do really mattered
22. The writer was confident in diving probably because he ________.
A. used to learn how to dive
B. was stronger than other people
C. took swimming lessons when he was young
D. didn’t want to be a st unt double at all
23. What happened while the writer was diving down?
A. His arms were badly injured.
B. Many birds circling the air happily.
C. The crew cheered loudly for him.
D. He lost consciousness all of a sudden.
B
Trip to Alaska National Parks
This four-day train trip, which traverses both Denali and Kenai Fjords National Parks, allows for true appreciation of Alaska’s natural beauty. The route takes in peaks and forests, including a stop at the foot of 20,320-foot-high Mount McKinley, N orth America’s tallest mountain. Though the train has comfortable seating and a luxurious dining car, nights are spent at off-train lodging like the Grande Denali Lodge and Ho tel Alyeska in Girdwood.
India Tour, Maharajas’ Express
Maharajas’ Express is th e most luxurious train in the world. Started in 2010, and limited to 88 passengers on each trip, the train features luxurious private suites with marble baths and panoramic（全景）windows. On the five-day, four-night trip, which starts and ends in Delhi, passengers make stops to visit the splendid Taj Mahal at Agra, take a tiger safari at Ranthambore National Park, and shop and watch an elephant-polo match in Jaipur.
Tales of Laos Tour, Eastern & Oriental Express
The sister train to Europe’s Venice Simplon Orie nt-Express, the Eastern & Oriental Express offers the same level of service and comfort. What’s completely different about the Eastern, of course, is the scenery that passengers can see through the train’s large windows. Among the attractive sights on the four-day, three-night Tales of Laos Tour are green rice paddies（水稻梯田）and locals riding elephants.
Cuzco to Machu Picchu Route, Hiram Bingham
The Hiram Bingham, a train operating in Peru, leads guests on a magical day trip from Cuzco to the ruins of Machu Picchu. During the three-hour trip — which covers about 50 miles — the train winds through the thick jungle, alongside the rapids of the Uruba mba River and across two high mountains. Once it arrives at the city of Machu Picchu, passengers get a five-hour tour through the fascinating site before heading back to Cuzco.
24. The underlined word “traverses” in Paragraph 1 probably means _______.
A. leaves for
B. consists of
C. moves across
D. arrives at
25. According to this passage, the longest journey may be _______.
A. Trip to Alaska National Parks
B. India Tour
C. Tales of Laos Tour

26. The Eastern & Oriental Express is different from Europe’s Venice Simplon
Orient-Express in that _______.

car.

to doing some shopping.

elephants.
D. The Cuzco to Machu Picchu Route starts in Cuzco and ends in Machu Picchu.
C
What does it mean to cry over a book? “I’m a reader who did not weep,” Ruth Graham, a well-known critic, wrote. “Does this make me heartl ess? Or does it make me a grown-up?” Tears have played a surprisingly important part in the history of the novel. Readers have always asked about the role that emotion plays in reading: What does it mean to be deeply moved by a book? Which books are worthy objects of our feelings?
In different times, people answered those questions in different ways. In the eighteenth century, when the novel was still a new form, crying was a sign of readers’ virtue. “Sentimental” novels, full of touching scenes, ga ve readers an occasion to exercise their “finer feelings.” Your tear proved your susceptibility（易感性）to the suffering of others.
At that time, sentimental novels were hugely popular, but also easy to attack. Tears, after all, had no necessary connection to actual virtue, and they could be fake. There could also be too many of them. As the critic John Mullan points out, by the end of the eighteenth century, the word “sentimental” had acquired a new meaning —“addicted to indulgence（沉溺）in superficial（肤浅的）e motion” —bringing it closer to the meaning that it has for us today.
In the nineteenth century, the meaning of tears evolved(进化) in two different directions. Some writers sought to waken “higher” feelings in their readers: Victorian sentimentalists wrote touching scenes in an effort to inspire social and political reform. However, the “sensation” novel, a different type of Victorian best-seller, showed that tears could be enjoyable in themselves. Sensation novels were the forerunners（先导）of the modern thriller and mystery. Heavy on secrets, and madness, they were known for creating physical “sensations” in their readers —trembling, a fast beating heart, and tears. But these were tears without moral purpose or effect.
Today’s debate about crying whil e reading looks back on all of this history. The debate,
in fact, is about why books matter to us, and what reading is “for.” Talking about what
makes us cry is a way of talking about ourselves.
28. What was people’s attitude towa rds crying over novels in the early 18th century?
A. Doubtful.
B. Positive.
C. Uncaring.
D. Worried.
29. According to the text, “sensation” novels _________.
A. were similar to the modern thriller and mystery
B. were the same as sentimental novels
C. aimed for social and political reform
D. tended to amuse the readers
30. The author presents this text mainly ________.
A. by providing examples
B. by making comparisons
C. by following the order of time
D. by following the order of importance
第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

选项中有两项为多余选项。

Lots of people give you advice on overcoming fear. 31 However, I want to tell you
that a world without fear would be more dangerous, less rewarding. So we want to treat
fear as a friend. Here are three reasons.
32 Think about it. Do you get more nervous when you meet the girl (or guy) of
your dreams? Which is more fearful, talking to the boss of your company or to some of your
friends? 33 If you didn’t have fear to guide you, you might not know that! Not so
bad, right?
Next, fear encourages us to take action. Fear is a call to action. In the past, our ancestors (祖先) didn’t run away in fear when they saw a tiger running toward them but
tried to kill it for food. No w, most of us don’t face serious danger like hungry tigers
every day, but we do face serious bosses or public speaking. So, what can we do? 34 Lastly, fear lets you know you are alive. Why do we like roller coasters (过山车)? 35
Same for horror movies.
So fear can guide you towards what’s important for you and encourage you to take action
to improve your situation. Don’t we all need that kind of friend?
A. The first is that fear is an excellent guide to opportunity.
B. Don’t fear to be wrong.
C. They say if you can overcome fear, you will be successful.
D. It frightens us in a mostly safe way.
E. Imagine what life would be like without fear.
F. Fear is showing you what is important and what matters to you.
G. Let fear provide us with the energy to do what needs to be done.
