AI’ve often wondered if I might do more good as a travel agent rather than as a psychologist. It seems that I have been more dramatically affected by certain kinds of travel experiences than I ever have.My trip to Iceland is a fine example of that. The plan was to spend two days in a remote mountain hut in Iceland.I was working on a photographic book about winter in Iceland and needed to capture images of this amazingregion of high mountain peaks, smoky volcanoes, and lakes with floating icebergs.The moment after we arrived, the weather turned extreme making visibility impossible. It snowed so much and the wind blew so hard that we couldn’t leave the tiny hut. To stay warm, we walked around in circles much of the day inside the tiny hut. We tried to call for help but the radio did not work. Day after day, we watched our supplies of food and fuel grow dangerously short. We got acute cabin fever (幽居病) and started going for walks and ski expeditions outside. Even when the weather finally broke, nobody came to get us even though it was three days beyond our scheduled pickup. By the time the rescue team came to pull us out, we had all given up hope. From then on, the world looks different to me, as does my life. It would have taken me years of psychotherapy to get to the same point.Almost everyone has a story to tell, and interestingly, most of these experiences were not altogether pleasant at the time. In fact, it appears that the most constructive life-changing journeys were those thatinvolved some sorts of awful and uncomfortable events that forced the person to develop new resources, increase confidence, and solve problems in new ways.21. The writer went to Iceland to __________.A. enjoy the natural beautiful floating icebergsB. collect materials for psychological researchC. take photos about the region for a bookD. challenge the high mountains there22. During the trip in Iceland, those travelers faced difficulties EXCEPT that __________.A. they were short of food and fuelB. they got lost in the mountainC. they couldn’t see the surroundings clearlyD. they failed to get in touch with the rescue team23. From Paragraph 3, we learn that the travelers __________.A. stayed in the hut for three days altogetherB. were in despair before they were rescuedC. got sick because of going for ski outsideD. got rescued immediately the weather turned fine24. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. The writer is a travel agent who loves difficult challenges.B. In Iceland the weather is always extreme and it snows a lot.C. Awful journeys may become life-changing events that inspire people.D. The travelers were so depressed that they needed psychotherapy.BIn a message beginning “Dear President Obama”, the 86-year-old queen Elizabeth said: “I have been deeply shocked and saddened to learn of the dreadful loss of life today in Newtown. Connecticut; particularly the news that so many of the dead are children.”The gunman, named as Adam Lanza, 20, killed 20 small children and six teachers in the Friday shooting, after walking into a school in an idyllic Connecticut town.He had earlier killed his mother, who was a teacher at the school.Former school bus driver Marsha Moskowitz is in disbelief. She once drove at least two of the victims to school, and remembers driving the gunman when he was in middle school. “I recall him to be quiet, reserved and very shy. Pretty much stayed to himself on the bus.” Connecticut State Police spokesman Paul Vance says Lanza forced his way into the building. “We have established the point of entry. He was not voluntarily let into the school at all, but he forced his way into the school. But that's as far as we can go on that.” As the nation struggles to understand how the tragedy could have occurred, Lawrence Palinkas, Professor of Social Work at the University of Southern California, notes the reason why so many young Americans have become targets in mass killings is unknown. “Largely because we still don't have enough data — surprisingly, given the increasing number of events. But generally when helpless populations are victimized like that，it's usually to send a message, and it's unfortunately amessage of intense anger.” As of now, no one knows the reason why Adam Lanza did what he did, and many residents of Newtown fear they never will.The queen, who never gives interviews and normally restricts her public comment to events in Commonwealth nations, added: “Prince Philip joins me in extending our heartfelt sympathy to you and the American people at this difficult time. The thoughts and prayers of everyone in the United Kingdom and throughout the Commonwealth are with the families and friends of those killed and with all those who have been affected by today-events. ”25. What happened to the queen Elizabeth?A. She was shocked at the crime scene.B. She could bear the sorrow and hardship.C. She was determined to fight with crime.D. She wrote to Obama to show her sympathy.26. According to the whole text, the gunman __________.A. was a teacher in a primary schoolB. was invited to attend a school lectureC. appeared more gentle than cruel in the residents' mindD. once drove two of the victims to school27. We can learn from the passage that __________.A. no reason can account for Adam’s killingB. each American has possessed a gunC. Adam is always kind to his neighborsD. such killings seldom happen in the USA28.What can we conclude from the last paragraph?A. The queen will attend the victims' funeral ceremony.B.the queen shows much concern and sympathy to the American people.C. Maybe it will be illegal for ordinary people to possess guns.D. More harmless people will be killed during their daily life.CA new generation addiction is quickly spreading all over the world. Weboholism, a twentieth century disease, affects people from different ages. They surf the Net, use email and speak in chat rooms. They spend many hours on the computer, and it becomes a compulsive habit. Theycannot stop, and it affects their lives.Decades ago, no one thought that using computers could become compulsive behavior that could affect the social and physical life of computer users. This obsessional behavior has affected teenagers and college students. They are likely to log on computers and spend long hours at different websites.They become hooked on computers and gradually their social and school life is affected by this situation. They spend all free time surfing and don't concentrate on homework, so this addiction influences their grades and success at school. Because they can find everything on the websites, they hang out there. Moreover, this addiction to websites influences their social life. They spend more time in front of computers than with their friends. The relation with their friends changes. The virtual life becomes more important than their real life. They have a new language that they speak in the chat rooms and it causes cultural changes in society. Because of the change in their behavior, they begin to isolate themselves from the society and live withtheir virtual friends. They share their emotions and feelings with friends who they have never met in their life. Although they feel confident on the computer, they are not confident with real live friends they have known all their life. It is a problem for the future. This addictive behavior is beginning to affect the entire world.29. The main idea of the passage is about __________.A. the cause of weboholismB. the advantage of weboholismC. the influence of weboholismD. the popularity of weboholism30. The underlined word "obsessional" in the second paragraph probably means __________.A. addictiveB. attractiveC. professionalD. potential31. We can infer from the passage that __________.A. weboholism has the greatest effect on teenagersB. people are addicted to games on the InternetC. students can hardly balance real and virtual lifeD. virtual life is more vivid and attractive anyway32. The author's attitude towards weboholism is that of being __________.A. optimisticB. neutralC. acceptableD. criticalDNews that Microsoft made a $44.6 billion bid to buy Yahoo resulted in heated discussions made by many Internet users. Here are some responses:Diane Burke of Weeks bury, KentuckyI think it would definitely be an interesting combination. Everyone recognizes the names Yahoo and Microsoft, but everyone also says, “Did you Google it?” Such a catchphrase (时髦话) is going to be hard to beat.Shaun Carney of Laurelville, OhioI think the merger (合并) will provide more competitions for Google. I don’t think the merger will allow Microsoft to develop faster than Google, though.I believe the increased competition this merger bringswill force Google to stay on top of its game by offering more fresh and original Internet tools and expanding on the tools it already offers.Toni Suarez of Hacienda Heights, CaliforniaI view the merger as a necessary element in preventinga monopolization (垄断). Perhaps it would bring better high technology innovations to e-mail and help in researching and developing a better Internet!Rick R. of Edgewater, FloridaIt sounds like a disaster to me. If this were to happen, I would stop using my Yahoo e-mail account because I don’t like the feeling of Micr osoft spying upon my business. I will sign up for Google.Antonio Glosser of Kansas City, MissouriRight now, Yahoo offers a lot of features and tools at no cost for all different levels of Internet users. Microsoft seeks nothing but profit. Undoubtedly, they’ll do nothing other than find ways to start removing Yahoo’s formerly non-priced features. Microsoft’s greed will ruin the great thing that Yahoo currently is.33. How many companies are mentioned in the passage?A. Two.B. One.C. Three.D. Four.34. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A. Toni believes the Internet will have a promising future.B. Shaun’s attitude towards Google is passive.C. Rick will support Google after the merger.D. Antonio is afraid that the merger will cost Yahoo’s free features.35. The passage is mainly about __________.A. the strengths of Yahoo and MicrosoftB. the strengths and weaknesses of large companiesC. opinions on the merger of Yahoo and MicrosoftD. the future of Yahoo and Microsoft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。
