He moved back east and spent nine years lobbying (游说）to create Alaska’s first national park.When to VisitTo avoid the crowds, visit in June, but keep in mind that there are up to 21 hours of sunlight in Alaska in summer. If it seems like a bit much for your taste, try visiting in late August or September.If you visit to climb Mount McKinley, May and early June are the best times to climb.Major AttractionsIt is difficult not to see Denali’s largest attraction towering 20,320 feet high. Mount McKinley can even be seen up to 70 miles away on a clear day. If you brave the climb to the top, you will be rewarded with charming views of the Alaska Range.Sable Pass is a prime spot to view grizzly bears. Closed to off-road foot traffic, the area is popular for bears feeding on berries, roots, and even occasionally on other mammals. Beginning at just below the summit of Mount McKinley, Muldrow Glacier flows 35 miles through a gorge and across the tundra. Twice in the last hundred years, the Muldrow has surged (涌动），most recently in the winter of 1956-1957.AccommodationFive campgrounds are located within the park, and many are open from late spring to early fall.Note: reservations are strongly recommended during summer. Riley Creek campground is open all year round, and all but two (Sanctuary and Wonder Lake) offer RV(可供居住的大篷车）sites.Also within the park are a few lodges (旅馆）—North Face Lodge, Denali Backcountry Lodge and Kentishna Roadhouse.21.Charles Sheladon spent nine years lobbying to create Alaska’s first national park in orderto_____.A.provide a place for people to enjoy natureB.obtain some benefitsC.protect the natural landscapeD.make good use of the land22.What can you see in the park, according to the passage?①Mount McKinley②bears③various mammals④Sable Pass⑤Toklat River⑥Muldrow GlacierA.①②③④⑤⑥B.①②③④⑥C.①②③⑤⑥D.①②④⑤⑥23.Which of the following offers RV sites?A.Riley Creek campground.B.Wonder Lake campground.C.North Face Lodge.D.Kentishna Roadhouse.BOn my walk home one night, I saw a man lying on the ground. One or two people noticed him, but walked on by. I decided to stop and check if he was OK. When I spoke to him, he said some words I couldn’t make out. From his breath it was obvious he was drunk. I tried to speak to him until I got his name — Carlton. I asked him where he lived, and he told me a number and a road name that I recognized. It was only a ten-minute walk from here.Part of me wanted to help, but there was also fear arising. He was much bigger than me, six feet three inches or so. In the end I decided to go for it and help him walk home. I got him to his feet, he held onto my shoulders and arm, and we walked slowly to his home. The walk took about forty minutes instead of the usual 10. Every few steps he stopped to pull his trousers back up because he didn’t have a belt. Throughout the walk, I felt a constant anxiety.Halfway to his home , he stopped, took out his phone from his pocket and then handed it to me. I asked him why he was doing that, and he said, “To test your loyalty.” That moment struck me. All this time I was worried about what he might do to me. And it meant I didn’thave the ability to empathize (感同身受）with what he was feeling. He was probably feeling the same anxiety. So when he handed me his phone, as a sign of trust, I felt touched and honored at this act of courage. We walked the rest of the way to his home. When we got close, before I got to see the door number, I noticed he recognized his home. When we walked up, sure enough, it was the door number he had told me. I felt a sense of relief. I handed him back his phone, he thanked me and I made my way home, now with a lesson in empathy.24.How was the author likely to be feeling before helping the man?A.Curious.B.Hesitant.C.Moved.D.Excited.25.Why did it take the author and the man forty minutes to complete the ten-minute walk?A.They were having an interesting conversation.B.The man was attempting to waste time.C.The man kept stopping every few steps.D.The author was too weak to support the big man.26.Why did the man hand his phone to the author?A.He wanted to show his wealth.B.He wanted the author to help him hold his phone.C.He wanted to express his gratitude to the author.D.He hoped that they could both trust each other.27.The author created the characters by describing theirA.mental activitiesB.appearances.C.conversations.D.backgrounds.CThe history of vacuum cleaners(真空吸尘器）in the UK dates back to the early1900s.Hubert Cecil Booth started the first vacuum cleaner company in the UK, known as the British Vacuum Cleaner Company. It wasn’t long, however, before William Henry Hoover, who had already experienced success with his vacuum cleaners in America, made headway in the vacuum cleaner market in the UK and became more successful than Booth.Hoover’s vacuum cleaners in the UK became such a success that ‘to hoover’ quickly became equal to vacuuming. Some of the earliest domestic vacuum cleaners in the UK used simple reusable cloth bag designs whereby the vacuum cleaner simply collected dust in the bag. Once the bag was full, you could empty and re-attach it to the vacuum cleaner.For decades after their introduction,vacuum cleaners in the UK were a luxury item that only the upper class could afford. After World War II，however, they became common among the middle class. This was especially true for vacuum cleaners in the UK, because the popularity of carpets means sweeping is not an easy or effective means of carpet cleaning.In 1952, Hoover made the Constellation available to the public for the first time. Hoover designed it so that people could place the vacuum cleaner in the centre of the room and then work around it. After about 20 years of selling these vacuum cleaners in the UK, Hoover stopped the Constellation in 1975.Advances to upright and cylinder(气缸）vacuum cleaners in the UK continued, enabling vacuum cleaners to become more efficient and effective. The 1990s saw the introduction of the first bagless domestic vacuum cleaners in the UK. Despite many industry fears consumers would not be prepared to pay the high price, bagless vacuum cleaners became a big success in the UK.As for the future, vacuum cleaners in the UK are expected to become even moreenergy-efficient.28.What can be inferred from the first paragraph?A.Hoover entered the UK vacuum cleaner market before the 1900s.B.Hoover’s vacuum cleaners were more advanced than booth’s.C.Hoover’s vacuum cleaners were very popular in the UK market.D.Vacuum cleaners were invented later in the UK than in America.29.What was the cloth bag on the earliest domestic vacuum cleaners used for?A.Decorating the vacuum cleaners.B.Making the vacuum cleaners more efficient.C.Lightening the vacuum cleaners.D.Collecting dust.30.What was the most remarkable characteristic of the Constellation?A.It was only used by the upper class.B.Its design allowed the user to work around it.C.It was upright and it had a cylinder added to it.D.Its price was extremely high at the time.31.We can learn form the passage that bagless vacuum cleaners .A.were so popular that they could fulfill all UK customers’ demandsB.were the most energy-efficient vacuum cleaners.C.were not accepted by UK customersD.were expensive when they made their first public appearance in the UKDCancer patients could increase their chance of survival and help stop their cancer spreading by survival and help stop their cancer spreading by taking aspiring, new research suggests. A daily pill was found to increase the chance of surviving cancer by 20 percent.Scientists at Cardiff University made the discovery after analysing a wealth of available date from studies of some cancers. They found that patients who took low-dose aspirin in addition to their usual treatment reduced their likelihood of dying, or the cancer spreading, by one fifth over five years.“There is a growing body of evidence that taking aspirin is of significant benefit in reducing some cancers,” said Professor Peter Elwood, fro m the University of Cardiff, who led the research. “while we know a low dose of aspirin has been shown to reduce the possibility of catching cancer, its role in the treatment of cancer remains uncertain. As a result, we set out to conduct a search of all t he scientific literature.”The team collected date from five trials and 42 studies. Although a known risk associated with taking aspirin regularly is bleeding in the gut(肠子), the researchers found no evidence of this being serious or life-threatening. Researchers say the study highlights the need for trials to show if aspirin should be recommended alongside current cancer treatments.Professor Elwood added: “While there is a desperate need for more detailed research to prove our review and to obtain evi dence on less common cancers,we’d urge patients diagnosed with cancer to speak to their doctor about our findings so they can make an informed decision as to whether or not they should take a low dose of aspirin as part of their cancer treatment.”Barone ss Delyth Morgan, Chief Executive at Breast Cancer Now, said: “This study adds significant weight to the idea that a drug as simple and cheap as aspirin could help treat breast and other cancers.“Clinical trials are going on to confirm whether aspirin could be added to routine treatments for breast cancer. Further research is needed to understand exactly which patients would benefit from aspirin and enable us to direct it to the most appropriate individuals.”32.What can happen if patients take aspirin regularly?A.It can stop cancers spreading.B.It can cause bleeding in the gut.C.It can strengthen their immune system.D.It can increase the risk of cancer.33.The purpose of the study is to________.A.prove that aspirin can reduce the incidence of cancerB.test the potential risks and benefits of taking aspirinC.figure out which patients should take aspirinD.verify whether aspirin could be added to cancer treatments.34.What does the underlined word in the fifth paragraph probably mean?A.Sensible.B.Acceptable.C.Public.D.Successful.35.Which of the following is NOT true, according to the passage?A.The scientists made the discovery by analysing a mass of data.B.The scientists have confirmed aspirin could help treat breast and other cancers.C.The scientists have found aspirin can be used to assist in cancer treatment.D.The scientists have to do further research into aspirin.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）Things You Should Stop Doing to Be SuccessfulAre you a happy person?How often do you think about reasons why everyone around you is successful though they are not better than you in general? What do you do wrong? Here are some things you should stop doing to be successful.1.36Different people may interpret “success” in different ways: some of theme measure it in money, other ones — in positive changes to people around them and the world in general. 37 And do not worry about what other people think, and go after what makes you happy.2.Do not believe anything without questioning it.38 They are critical thinkers, and they understand that we are all ruled by our prejudices, so they will always question new information.3.Do not worry about unpredictable things that may happen to you.If you want to be successful, stop thinking about everything that MAY happen to you. 39 Be ready to change your deeds and decisions when things suddenly don’t go according to your plan.4.Do not care about what other people think of you.40 Your attempts to become “good” for everyone will turn into nothing but new worries, stresses, and problems. Successful people do not concentrate on the quantity of people to please, but worry about their quality and focus on developing friendships with people they really care about.A.Do not wait for the “right time” to do anything.B.Try to feel comfortable with the reality and accept the fact that your future can’t be predicted.C.Do not let others decide what “success” is for you.D.As far as we all know, it’s impossible to please all the people that surround us.E.Successful people do not just accept any new information to be true.F.If want to be successful, do not let others force their interpretation of success on you.G.Successful people never ignore or avoid problems, no matter how big and awful they seem.第三部分（共两节，满分45分）第一节完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）It was over twenty years ago. My young family and I had just moved into the house I live in now. I could 41 my children playing in my son’s bedroom while I washed the breakfast dishes in the kitchen sink. Our television was 42 the country music video channel and I was humming (哼唱）along to the 43 while I cleaned the frying pan. Suddenly, I felt a 44 tug(拽）on the leg of my blue jeans.

I held her in my arms and we swayed（摇摆）back and forth for a few minutes to the music coming from the 48 . Then she giggled, gave my neck a big squeeze, and 49 that she wanted to danceagain. I gave her a final spin around, set her down, and watched as she laughed and ran down the hallway to play again.I knew that she 50 wouldn’t remember this moment, but I 51 it carefully in my mind. Even then I was aware of how 52 she was growing up and knew that if I blinked I would__53__ it. Soon, she was too “big” to 54 with Dad any more, and hugs and kisses had to be done in private so I wouldn’t 55 her in front of her friends.
