AI 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. 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 Ev ans. 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 plannedB. it was important to satisfy the crewC. acting in the film was extremely pleasingD. what he was going to do really mattered22. The writer was confident in diving probably because he ________.A. used to learn how to diveB. was stronger than other peopleC. took swimming lessons when he was youngD. didn’t want to be a stunt double at all23. 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.BTrip to Alaska National ParksThis 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, North 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 Hotel Alyeska in Girdwood.India Tour, Maharajas’ ExpressMaharajas’Express is the 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 ExpressThe sister train to Europe’s Venice Simplon Orient-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 BinghamThe 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 Urubamba 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 Cuzco to Machu Picchu Route starts in Cuzco and ends in Machu Picchu.CWhat 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 heartless? 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, gave 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 —“addic ted to indulgence（沉溺）in superficial（肤浅的）emotion”— bringing it closer to the meaning that it has for us today.In the nineteenth century, the meaning of tears evolved 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 while 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 at titude towards 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 mysteryB. were the same as sentimental novelsC. aimed for social and political reformD. tended to amuse the readers30. The author presents this text mainly ________.A. by providing examplesB. by making comparisonsC. by following the order of timeD. by following the order of importance31. What’s the best title for the text?A. Crying while reading through centuriesB. The history of the novelC. Sentimental novels & sensation novelsD. Why books matter to usDYou’ve pr obably heard about sports coaches, fitness coaches, voice and music teachers, career counselors, psychiatrists (精神病医师) and other specialists who teach skills and help us cope with daily life.But there’s a rapidly growing kind of professional who does a little bit of everything. She or he is called a “life coach”. People who are at crossroads in their lives, and corporations that want to give certain employees a career boost, are turning to them for help.The idea that one person’s success story can change other people’s lives for the better goes back at least to the 1930s. Dale Carnegie’s famous self-improvement program “How to Win Friends and Influence People” came along soon thereafter.But this new style of life coaches includes more than enthusiastic speakers or writers. They use their own experiences in business, sports, military service, or psychotherapy (心理疗法) to help others make critical life decisions.They often give their approach a slogan, such as “energy coaching” or “fearless living” or “working yourself happy”.Dave Lakhani in Boise, Idaho, for instance, works with salespeople to develop what he calls a “road map”. He says an ongoing relationship with a coach is like having a personal fitness trainer for one’s career and life outside work.Lakhani’s Bold Approach coaching firm also donates some of its time to help people who are anything but successful — including battered women and struggling single mothers.But others in the so-called “helping professions” are not thrilled about the life-coaching movement. They say that anyone, trained or untrained, can call himself or herself a life coach, and that slick (华而不实的) promoters who mess with people’s lives can do more harm than good.32. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. Working Yourself Happy.B. Life Coaches Help with Tough Decisions.C. How to Cope with Daily Life with Life Coaches.D. The Life-Coaching Movement.33. The underlined phrase “life coach” in Paragraph 2 means“_______”.A. The career counselor who teaches skillsB. The psychiatrist who helps us cope with daily lifeC. The fitness coach who teaches us lessonsD. The specialist who helps us make important life decisions34. The last paragraph is mainly about _______.A. the introductions of life coachB. the effects of life coachC. the disagreements of life coachD. the experiences of life coach35. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Life coaches avoid sharing their own experiences when helping others make life decisions.B. A personal fitness trainer is more likely to help others make life decisions.C. Dave Lakhani devotes his time to giving guidance to those struggling single mothers.D. Maybe those people who are not thrilled about the life-coaching movement advise readers to becautious about life coaches.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。
