阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A
El Nido, Philippines
The best way to get around is by a high-speed ferry or traditional outrigger boats called bancas. If you just can’t get enough of the silky water s, stay at one of the El Nido resorts that offer traditional Filipino cottages on stilts over the water.
The beaches provide the usual array of water activities: kayaking, snorkeling, and diving amid exotic coral and fish species. And there are even fans of the Philippines food scene: The cuisine is a mix of Spanish and Chinese spiced with Malay and Indian influences.
Carne Beach, England
The rocky Cornish coast gives way to beaches and one of the broadest and most beautiful is Carne on Gerrans Bay. Residents of the nearby villages swim, walk their dogs, and play beach volleyball and cricket along its sandy surface.
One perfect way to enjoy Carne Beach is to drop by or stay at the charming country house The Nare Hotel. It offers sweeping views from Nare Head to Falmouth and an afternoon tea complete.
Panama City Beach, Florida
While still a popular destination for spring breakers it is a perfect place for families. It offers accommodations at every affordable level, from a Days Inn to a Wyndham. Panama City has a state park with alligators, five golf courses, miniature golf, and enough waffle houses to feed an army.
21. What is one of the activities provided by E1 Nido?
A. Learning to swim at sea.
B. Cooking the traditional Filipino food.
C. Diving among various coral and fish species.
D. Boat-rowing on the silky waters along the beach.
22. How can visitors enjoy themselves most at Carne Beach?
A. By playing on the beach.
B. By walking along the sandy surface.
C. By swimming with the villagers nearby.
D. By admiring the scenery from the Nare Hotel.
23. What is most special at Panama City Beach?
A. The sand.
B. The sea water.
C. The accommodations.
D. The park with sea animals.
B
The idea of being able to walk on water has long interested humans greatly. Sadly,
biological facts prevent us ever accomplishing such a thing without artificial aid—we simply weigh too much, and all our weight pushes down through our relatively small feet, resulting in a lot of pressure that makes us sink.
However, several types of animals can walk on water. One of the most interesting is a kind of lizard (蜥蜴) native to Central and South America. It can run across water for a distance of several meters, avoiding getting wet by rapidly hitti ng the water’s surface with its feet. The lizard will take as many as 20 steps per second to keep moving forward. For humans to do this, we’d need huge feet that we could bring up to our ears in order to create adequate “hitting”.
But fortunately there is an alternative: cornflour. By adding enough of this common thickening agent to water (and it does take a lot), you can create a “non-Newtonian” liquid that doesn’t behave like normal water. Now, if the surface of the water is hit hard enough, particles (微粒) in the water group together for a moment to make the surface hard. Move quickly enough and put enough force into each step, and you really can walk across the surface of an adequately thick liquid of cornflour.
Fun though all this may sound, it’s still rather messy and better mad about in theory than carried out in practice, if you must do it, then keep the water wings handy in case you start to sink—and take a shower afterward!
24. Walking on water hasn't become a reality mainly because humans .
A. are not interested in it
B. have biological limitations
C. have not invented proper tools
D. are afraid to make an attempt
25. Why can the lizard walk on water?
A. It has huge feet.
B. It’s light enough.
C. It has unique skin.
D. It can run very fast.
26. What is the function of the cornflour according to the text?
A. To create a thick liquid.
B. To turn the water into solid.
C. To help the liquid behave normally.
D. To enable the water to move rapidly.
27. What does the author think of the idea of humans’ walking on water?
A. It’s risky but beneficial.
B. It’s interesting and worth trying.
C. It’s crazy and cannot become a reality.
D. It’s impractical though theoretically poss ible.
C
No matter how much they’ve travelled, even the most seasoned tourist still makes some dumb mistake.
One netizen posted in Reddit: What’s the dumbest thing you’ve done while traveling?
One of the quickest to comment was Karenet from Ottawa, who sa id: “Locked myself in the bathroom of ferry cabin between Bari and Greece. Luckily it was only for about 10 minutes but I was really worried I would be stuck for the entire 15 hours.”
“After I escaped, I determined to share my four-bed cabin with two Americans who only paid for a seat. I did it to be nice but mostly so they could save me if I got stuck again”.
Another wrote: “I had a room in Slovenia where you walked in. There was a hall and then a second door to the room. As I was walking into the room, a bee flew at me.”
“I screamed, turned and ran, shut the door and locked myself in the room with the bee who had followed me”.
After revealing he had been chased by an ostrich (鸵鸟) around a lakeside viewing platform in Patagonia, Samwoolfe1 revealed how he found himself lost and alone in Mexico when he “got on the wrong bus in Mexico due to a language barrier”.
Standing out as a tourist, Johnny Garisch from South Africa made an obvious mistake.
He wrote: “I paid $50 to get two bags wrapped in plastic at Kenneth Kaunda International Airport (Lusaka, Zambia). They added a 0 because they could tell I was lack of awareness about what t he exchange rate was.”
28. Which of the following ca n best replace the word “dumb” in Paragraph 1？
A. small
B. terrible
C. silly
D. common
29. Karenet offered his cabin to the Americans mainly because he wanted .
A. to show friendship
B. to have mercy on them
C. to find someone for company
D. to protect himself in case of danger
30. How much should Johnny Garisch have paid for the bags?
A. $5.
B. $50.
C. $55.
D. $ 500.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Dangers in travelling
B. Necessary adventures
C. The unexpected on journey
D. The unforgettable experiment
D
A technology company is developing a lie detector app for smartphones that could be used by parents, teachers and internet daters.
The app measures blood flow in the face to assess whether or not you are telling the truth. Its developers say that it could be used for daters wanting to see if somebody really is interested in them.
Parents could use it on their children to see if they are lying and teachers could work out which of their pupils are truthful.
The app is being developed by Toronto startup NuraLogix and the software is called Transdermal Optical Imaging.
The idea is that different human emotions create different facial blood flow patterns that we have no control over. These patterns change if we are telling the truth or telling a lie.
Using footage from the smartphone camera, the software will see the changes in skin colour and compare them to standardized results.
A study found that anger was associated with more blood flow and redness while sadness
was associated with less of both.
Kang Lee, who has been researching the field for 20 years, said that the lie detector test will let you find out the truth “non-invasively, and remotely, and sometimes it can be covertly”.
He said: “It could be very useful, for example, for teachers. A lot of our students have math anxiety but th ey do not want to tell us, because that’s embarrassing.”
Lee added that the technology would not replace lie detectors used in a court of law. He said: “They want the accuracy to be extremely h igh, like genetic tests, so a one-in-a-million error rate.”
“Our technique won’t be able to achieve an extremely high accuracy level, so because of that I don’t think it’s useful for the courts.”
He added that it will be a few years before the dating app is available to consumers.
32. How does the app work?
A. By discovering the expression on the face.
B. By analyzing the blood flow in the face.
C. By measuring one’s blood pressure.
D. By checking the words one says.
33. What can we infer from Paragraph 5?
A. The app is reliable.
B. Our motions are colorful.
C. The idea of the app is interesting.
D. People have different facial blood patterns.
34. To whom can the app apply?
A. A user of the latest iphone.
B. A person in a job interview.
C. A consumer buying something.
D. A student working at a math problem.
35. What can we learn about the app?
A. It works as a lie detector.
B. It needs time to be put to use.
C. It matches genetic tests in accuracy.
D. It proves to be useful for the courts.
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。

How to Improve Your Reading Comprehension
Are you trying to read a book and have no idea when a character appeared and became the most important character in the book? 36
Keep Notes
Find any type of pap er to keep notes in. Get as many pieces of paper as you think you’ll need for the story. Try writing down characters and their relationships. 37 Of course, writing down a basic time line for the story is also necessary.
Let Information Guide You
If you are reading a textbook, use the organization of it to guide you. You should pay attention to the following: The syllabus or class outline. The homework assignment. What the instructor emphasizes in class. Any available sample tests or quizzes.
Read books over again
Reading teachers talk about this concept called fluency. 38
To be fluent, you want to be able to read 90 words a minute. That seems like a lot, but with only a little bit of practice, you should be able to get there. 39 Re-reading! Read books over again, twice or even three times. After the first time, the words will read easier and fluency will improve.
40 Whether that helper is a teacher, a friend, or a parent, read with someone above your level who you're comfortable with talking to and asking questions.

W: Come back at eleven. I need your help with something in the kitchen.
Text 2
M: Hey, Sis, are you free to join my wife and I at Bacara Restaurant tomorrow night? W: Oh, that sounds great, Steve! But you know I’m supposed to meet my friend Daniel that night. Is it OK if he comes along?
M: Of course!
Text 3
W: My phone bill seems to go up every month. I don’t know what’s going on.
M: You need to look at your bill carefully every month. I often call the company whenever something seems wrong. They make major mistakes sometimes.
Text 4
M: This book is boring. I’ve been reading it all night, but I really don’t want to finish it. Maybe I should get another book to read.
W: I don’t think that’s what your professor had in mind when he gave you that assignment. Text 5
W: I know it’s the day before the test, but I really need your help. My professor is in meetings all day, and none of my classmates will answer their phones. I’ll pay you double your normal rate.
M: OK, let me check my schedule…
Text 6
W: That’s a beautiful necklace there…t he one behind the diamond ring. Can I take a look at it?
M: Of course, madam. This just came in yesterday. It’s pretty old, but it’s still in great shape. You can see handmade details everywhere.
W: Oh, I love this style. It reminds me a little of what my grandmother used to wear: simple things that were not too fancy.
M: Would you like to try it on?
W: Maybe I can just check…yeah, just what I thought: a little out of my price range. Thank you, though!
M: My pleasure! Let me know if I can help you.

W: What was y our parents’ reaction?
M: Well, they really want me to be a programmer. They think that’s where the job market is headed for young people. But they understand how much this means to me.
W: That’s awesome. Personally, I’m interested in economics. My pare nts have never pressured me to make any decisions about my major.
M: Yeah. Sometimes I wish that my parents were a little bit more like yours...

M: Mrs. Robinson, I’m Dr. Andrews. Let me just start by telling you that your son is going to be
all right.
W: Oh, thank goodness! What happened to him? I just got a call from the police department to come down here.
M: We’re not quite sure. We think the accident was the other driver’s fault. And that caused Jesse’s car to crash into a tree. The damag e to Jesse’s car would suggest that.
W: Can I go in and see Jesse?
M: I’m afraid not right now, Mrs. Robinson. We need to do some tests, and we need him to get some sleep. I’ll come back outside and give you an update in a few hours, OK? W: All right. But what are we supposed to do here, just wait around for you to come out? M: You’d better get some rest yourself. Come back in three hours, and by that time, I should have more information for you.
W: Thank you so much, Dr. Andrews!
Text 9

M: No wonder. I come here once a month.
W: What do you think the way it looks?
M: Well, to be honest, it’s not as easy for m e to find the things I need. I like the old way better.
W: You know what? There are quite a few shoppers who have said the same thing to me. I’ll keep it in mind and bring it up with my manager. Is there anything I could help you find? M: I really need some items for the bathroom. Where would I find those?
W: On goods shelf four. The entire shelf is filled with things for the bathroom.
M: Great! I’m also looking for some oranges, but I can see the fruit section just to the left over there. I’ll let you k now if I need any more help.

The subway system in San Francisco serves the transportation needs of about five million residents, with 45 stations across a dozen cities and towns in the San Francisco Bay Area. There are a total of four lines that are known by color: yellow, orange, red, and blue. All lines travel through San Francisco, and service runs from 5:00 a.m. to midnight. An interesting fact is that only one third of the stations are below street level; the rest
are either at street level or travel high above the freeway. The average speed of the trains is 35 miles per hour, but they can go up to 80 miles an hour. The cost to ride the trains depends on how far you want to go. Many people take the train into San Francisco to go to work. This means that the system is very crowded from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. and again from 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., but outside these times, the subway system is not very busy. This can be great if you want to get a seat, but it also means that there are fewer trains. During rush hour, trains come every 5-10 minutes, but in the middle of the day and late at night, trains come every 20-30 minutes.。
