Last summer，after finishing my work in China，I took the trip of a lifetime on the Trans-Siberian Railway （西伯利亚铁路）。

Leaving Beijing early on a Wednesday morning in July, my wife and I travelled through some awesome （令人惊叹的) countryside before we arrived in Moscow the following Monday.
The first part of the journey took us past the Great Wall and through the grasslands of Inner Mongolia. At the Mongolian Republic border, we had a delay(耽搁)while the wheels were changed because the railway is different.
On our way to the capital, Ulan Bator，we saw herdsmen （牧人) on horseback looking after their cattle. There was a great thunderstorm as we crossed a vast open plain. Later we had a quick tour of Ulan Bator. Next, the train took us into Siberia。

After a stop at Irkutsk，a popular holiday resort(度假胜地），where a tour group left the train, we passed the great Lake Baikal。

Later，we saw some lovely wooden houses in pretty，sunny countryside。

This surprised us，as we had imagined Siberia as being covered with thick snow。

Over the next few days, we passed through Novosibirsk，Omsk and other cities in the heartlands of the Russian Federation. By now，our
body clocks were losing their sense of time. We wanted to sleep and eat at the wrong time！
At last we reached Moscow。

We were so tired that we slept for 16 hours that night. The next day we went sightseeing. We saw the Dremlin and some other magnificent （宏伟的) buildings in the Russian capital. Then, all too soon，it was time for us to return to our home in London。

24．How many days did it take the author to reach Moscow? A．Three。

B．Four。

C．Seven。

D．Six。

25．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage？A．Ulan Bator is the capital of Mongolian Republic。

B．The author travelled with a group of friends。

C．The author's body clock ran faster than the others’.
D．The train broke down at the Mongolian Republic border.
26．The author was surprised by Siberia because_______。

A．it was covered with thick snow
B．the houses there were so pretty
C．there were many tourists there
D．it was not covered with snow but it was sunny
27．The passage mainly tells us ________。

B．how wonderful the capital of Russia is
C．the trip from Beijing to Moscow
D．the Trans—Siberian Railway

Lazy people will never gain anything in life. However, laziness can be defeated once a few changes have been made in your mind.
One way to fight laziness is to get enough sleep。

Many people lack sleep constantly, since they stay up too late and get up too early to prepare for work. These people have little motivation once they arrive home。

Laziness works hand in hand with a lack of motivation and a tendency to put off things. By adjusting your sleep schedule to provide a few more hours of meaningful rest，you can fight laziness throughout the day. Another way to fight laziness is to change your mind from passive to active。

Some people treat their lives as if they were pushed from task to task. Others take a more positive approach, viewing each task as a challenge they must overcome alone。

Laziness appears when you no longer feel in charge of your own mind.
Some people fight laziness by removing the temptations that surround them。

A television in the living room may provide entertainment，but watching too much TV often contributes to laziness. Create a reward system for yourself, just as parents do for a child. Complete a few tasks and reward yourself with what you enjoy, such as a good dinner or a film. Laziness can also be a lasting problem at home. Couples and children may all have different energy levels, but laziness can be spread if not dealt with immediately. To fight family laziness, set an example。

Be the first to collect and wash dishes after a meal. Others in the home may eventually follow your example and perform their own task. It is difficult to practice
laziness when you are surrounded by motivated （积极的）people。

Finally, taking exercise regularly can help you fight laziness. Enough exercise and a balanced diet can help you to develop a healthy lifestyle，thus enabling you to have more energy and help lift your spirits。

28．How many ways have been mentioned in this passage to defeat laziness？
A．3 B．4 C．5 D．6
29．According to Paragraph 2，we can know that ________。

A．people who don’t get enough sleep must be lazy
B．people who lack of motivation must be lazy
C．people who stay up too late and get up too early must be lazy D．people w ho adjust their sleep schedule mustn’t be lazy
30．The underlined word “temptations” is closest in meaning to
_______.
A．excitements
B．distractions
C．attractions
D．entertainments
31．Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A．How to fight laziness？
B．Laziness does great harm to our life。

C．Lazy people will never gain anything.
D．Laziness can be defeated.
D
After years of heated debate, gray wolves were reintroduced to Yellowstone National Park. Fourteen wolves were caught in Canada and transported to the park. By last year, the Yellowstone wolf population had grown to more than 170 wolves。

Gray wolves once were seen here and there in the Yellowstone area and much of the continental United States，but they were gradually displaced by human development. By the 1920s, wolves had practically disappeared from the Yellowstone area. They went farther north into the deep forests of Canada, where there were fewer humans around.
The disappearance of the wolves had many unexpected results. Deer and elk(麋鹿) populations — major food sources （来源）for the wolf —grew rapidly. These animals consumed large amounts of vegetation （植被），which reduced plant diversity in the park。

In the absence of wolves, coyote（丛林狼）populations also grew quickly. The coyotes killed a large percentage of the park’s red foxes，and completely drove away the park's beavers(海狸）。

As early as 1966，biologists asked the government to consider reintroducing wolves to Yellowstone Park。

They hoped that wolves would be able to control the elk and coyote problems. Many farmers opposed the plan because they feared that wolves would kill their farm animals or pets.
The government spent nearly 30 years coming up with a plan to reintroduce the wolvers. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service carefully monitors and manages the wolf packs in Yellowstone。

Today，the
debate continues over how well the gray wolf is fitting in at Yellowstone。

Elk，deer, and coyote populations are down, while beavers and red foxes have made a comeback. The Yellowstone wolf project has been a valuable experiment to help biologists decide whether to reintroduce wolves to other parts of the country as well.
32．What is the text mainly about?
A．Wildlife research in the United States.
B．Plant diversity in the Yellowstone area.
C．The conflict between farmers and gray wolves.
D．The reintroduction of wolves to Yellowstone Park。

33．What does the underlined word ＂displaced＂in paragraph 2 mean？
A．Tested。

B．Separated。

C．Forced out。

D．Killed
34．What did the disappearance of gray wolves bring about? A．Damage to local ecology。

B．A decline in the park’s income。

C．Preservation of vegetation。

D．An increase in the variety of animals。

35．What is the author’s attitude towards the Yellowstone wolf project？
A．Doubtful. B．Positive.
C．Disapproving。

D．Uncaring.

本文讲述了一些对抗懒惰的方法，如调整睡眠，坚持锻炼，平衡膳食等，也告诫我们不能被懒惰打败,否则一生不能成事，没有收获。

28．细节理解题。

通读全文可知，从文章第二段开始至最后一段，每一段中都介绍了一种战胜懒惰的方法。

即文中提到了五种方法来对抗懒惰。

故选C。

29．推理判断题.根据第二段中的These people have little motivation once they arrive home. Laziness works hand in hand with a lack of motivation and a tendency to put off things.可知，这些人一旦回到家就没有什么动力了.懒惰与缺乏动力和拖延倾向密切相关.由此可知,缺乏动力的人一定是懒惰的。

故选C。

31．主旨大意题。

【解析】
本文是一篇说明文，介绍了美国黄石公园重新引进灰狼的事情。

人类活动的影响使灰狼的数量逐渐减少，鹿群数量逐渐增加,从而导致植被被大量破坏。

32．主旨大意题。

文章开门见山地提出黄石公园引进灰狼的举措,然后在下文中详细介绍其原因以及带来的良好的转机，由此判断本文的中心话题是美国黄石公园对灰狼的引进。

故选D。

33．词义猜测题。

根据本段后两句“By the 1920s, wolves had practically disappeared from the Yellowstone area。

They went farther north into the deep forests of Canada，where there were fewer humans around.(到20世纪20年代，黄石地区的狼几乎已经消失了。

他们向北深入到加拿大的森林深处，那里的人比较少。

）”可知,因为人类的发展，侵占了灰狼的领域，灰狼逐渐向北迁徙，由此推断划线词的意思是“灰狼被人类排挤走了”.故选C。

34．推理判断题。

根据第三段的内容“These animals consumed large amounts of vegetation (植被）, which reduced plant diversity in the park. In the absence of wolves, coyote populations also grew quickly. The coyotes killed a large percentage of the park’s red foxes, and completely drove away the park’s beavers。

(这些动物消耗了大量的植被，减少了公园里的植物多样性。

在没有狼的情况下,狼的数量也迅速增长.狼杀死了公园里大部分的红狐，并完全赶走了公园里的海狸。

）”可知,狼的减少造成了鹿群的增多，从而植被遭到了破坏；造成了土狼数量的快速增长，它们猎杀了大量的红狐，赶走了海狸，由此可
推断出灰狼的消失导致了当地生态平衡被破坏。

故选A.
35．推理判断题。

根据文章末段的最后一句“The Yellowstone wolf project has been a valuable experiment to help biologists decide whether to reintroduce wolves to other parts of the country as well。

（黄石国家公园狼计划是一项有价值的实验，它可以帮助生物学家决定是否将狼重新引入美国其他地区。

)”可知，作者认为引进灰狼的项目是很有价值的实验,因此可推知作者对这一举措持肯定的态度。

38．根据本段第一句“Singing helps in reducing your depression and lowering your stress level."可知歌唱能有助于减轻你的抑郁，降低你的压力水平。
