Tourists can take a boat on the river that flows into small lakes. Hiking here gives tourists a chance to admire some of the most vivid and beautiful scenery in the world. Adventurers can feel like explorers who have stepped into a hidden world. The natural beauty here is enough to make one realize the greatness of our world.

"Most kids in this generation, when things get really tough, tend to give up, "says Aus tin Dannen. Program manager for Peak 7. "For a lot of these kids, they have mode led themselves on their parents. But out in the woods, there's no easy escape. There's no helicopter coming to take them out.

There are many ways that online shopping technology can save you time when compared with a weekly trip to the grocery store or shopping mall. But not everything is bullet proof （防弹的） and you have to take in the possible errors that can be made along the way. From a grocery perspective, the customers choosing their food might not actually select the right produce or brands. It's no different from clothes-what if the wrong sizes or colors are shipped to you?You either have to take time to ship everything back （at your expense）. Or travel to the store to make an exchange.Another major factor to consider when shopping online is the "buy now" button. For many online sellers, they store your credit card information after an initial （起初的） purchase. Shopping online makes it very easy to "add to cart" and "proceed to check out" which can turn out to be addictive. In the end, people may accumulate truck loads of things they don't truly need.Another very common online "trick" that consumers face is inexpensive purchased that end up costing a lot more. For example, a $ 10 DVD can end up doubling in price once posting and packing, a transaction （交易） fee and a handling fee are added. So despite enjoying the convenience of ordering from your couch, it' most likely to double what you want to pay.Probably one of the most important factors to consider when shopping online is security. Today, consumers are very concerned about privacy and data security, both of which may beTAL#NBSP compromised after hitting the "Pay" button. And while many companies say that customer credit card details and passwords are not at risk, consumers still feel the need to keep an eye on their in box, mainly for uncertain looking links. Services like Break away client Bill Guard are available to help consumers. Bill Guard is a free, personal finance security service that alarms consumers to hidden changes and billing errors.(1) Why is online shopping not definitely a way of saving time according to the passage?A. Shoppers are incompetent on online shopping technology.B. Shoppers need to take time to address possible errors.C. Delivery of goods takes longer time than expected.D. Online shopping is always influenced by net speed.(2) In what way does online shopping go beyond consumers' real needs?A. Online shopping can make shoppers addicted to buying.B. Sellers use credit card information to threaten shoppers.C. Online shopping technology can add to cart automatically.D. Shoppers accumulate things blindly to attain free delivery.(3) The word "compromised" in the last paragraph is closest in the meaning to"".A. adjustedB. reducedC. settledD. strengthened(4) What is the writer most likely to talk about in the following paragraph（s）?A. The advantaged of online shopping.B. The future of online shopping.C. The importance of privacy.D. Introduction to BillGuard.4、【来源】 2018年湖南长沙开福区长沙市第一中学高三一模（D篇）第32~35题8分Play is easier to define with examples than with concepts. In any case, in animals it consists of leaping, running, climbing, throwing, wrestling, and other movements, either along with objects, or with other animals. Depending on the species, play may be primarily for social interaction, exercise, or exploration. One of the problems in providing a clear definition of play is that it involves the same behaviors that take place in other circumstances—dominance, predation, competition, and real fighting. Thus, whether play occurs or not depends on the intentions of the animals, and the intentions are not always clear from behaviors alone.Play appears to be a developmental characteristic of animals with fairly sophisticated nervous systems, mainly birds and mammals. Play has been studied most extensively（广泛地）in primates（灵长动物）and dogs. Exactly why animals play is still a matter debated in the research literature, and the reasons may not be the same for every species that plays. Determining the functions of play is difficult because the functions may be long-term, with beneficial effects not showing up until the animal's adulthood.Play is not without considerable costs to the individual animal. Play is usually very active, involving movement in space and, at times, noisemaking. Therefore, it results in the loss of fuel or energy that might better be used for growth or for building up fat stones in a young animal. Another potential cost of this activity is greater exposure to predators since play is attention-getting behavior. Great activities also increase the risk of injury in slipping or falling.The benefits of play must outweigh costs, or play would not have evolved, according to Darwin's theory. Some of the potential benefits relate directly to the healthy development of the brain and nervous system. In one research study, two groups of young rats were raised under different conditions. One group developed in an "enriched" environment, which allowed the rats to interact with other rats, play with toys, and receive maze（迷宫）training. The other group lived in an "impoverished" （使贫穷）environment in individual cages in a slightly lit room with little stimulation. At the end of the experiments, the resultsshowed that the actual weight of the brains of the impoverished rats was less than that of those raised in the enriched environment（though they were fed the same diets）.(1) According to Paragraph 1, why is play difficult to define?A. Play must be defined with concepts, not examples.B. Play occurs independently of an animal's intentions.C. Play behavior often looks like non-play behavior.D. Play often occurs in the presence of animals that are not playing.(2) According to Paragraph 2, which of the following presents a particular challenge to researchers who study play behavior in animals?A. The difficulty in determining which animal species play and which do not.B. The delay between activities and the benefits that the animals get from them.C. The lack of research on the play behavior of animals other than dogs and primates.D. The fact that for most animals. There is no clear transformation from youth tofull adulthood.(3) Why does the author mention "though they were fed the same diets" in the last paragraph?A. To show why rats living in an impoverished environment need less food than those living in an enriched environment.B. To rule out the possibility that differences in diet were responsible for observed differences in brain weight.C. To emphasize the point that rats were fed only the amount of food needed to keep them alive.D. To suggest that rats fed the same diet have smaller brains than those fed a varied food.(4) What is the best title for the passage?A. Role of Play in DevelopmentB. The Growth of PrimatesC. Loss of Energy in PlayD. Evolution of Play二、七选五（共5小题，共10分）5、【来源】 2018年湖南长沙开福区长沙市第一中学高三一模第36~40题10分However wealthy we may be, we can never find enough hours in the day to do everything we want. Economics deals with this problem through the concept of opportunity cost.12For every hour we work at one job we could quite easily be doing another, or be sleeping or watching a film. Each of these options has a different opportunity cost—namely, what they cost us in missed opportunities.Say you intend to watch a football match but the tickets are expensive and it will take you a couple of hours to get to and from the stadium. Why not, you might reason, watch the game from home and use the leftover money and time to have dinner with friends?3For economists, every decision is made by knowledge of what one must give up—in terms of money and enjoyment in order to take it up. By knowing precisely what you are receiving and what you are missing, you ought to be able to make better-informed, more reasonabledecisions.4Even if someone offers to take you out to lunch for free, the time you will spend in the restaurant still costs you something in terms of for gone opportunities.Some people find the idea of opportunity cost extremely discouraging: imagine spending your entire life calculating whether your time would be better spent elsewhere doing something more profitable or enjoyable.5By reading this passage you are giving over a bit of your time which could be spent doing other activities, such as sleeping and eating. In return, however, this passage will help you to think like an economist, closely considering the opportunity cost of each of your decisions.A. Opportunity cost is a key concept in economics. And has been described as expressing "the basic relationship between scarcity（不足）and choice".B. Yet, in a sense it's human nature to assess the advantage and disadvantages of decisions all the time.C. This—the alternative use of your cash and time—is the opportunity cost.D. If someone loses the opportunity to earn money, that is part of the opportunity cost.E. Consider that most famous economic rule of all: there's no such thing as a free lunch.F. Every hour of our time has a value.G. That simply refers to whether someone's time or money could be better spent on something else.三、完形填空（共20小题，共30分）6、【来源】 2018年湖南长沙开福区长沙市第一中学高三一模第41~60题30分One day my two sons and I got into my old car to drive to the local post office.

However, there are many other great destinations in the UK too, one of which is the South-West of England. Here are my top four reasons for visiting this area.Cream teasThe traditional English afternoon pick-me-up of scones—small cakes—served with thick cream and jam, accompanied with a pot of tea, originates from the South-West. You'll be sure to find plenty of cafés selling these delights in the area! Just don't get into a debate with the locals about how it should be eaten—Devonshire folk say that the cream should be spread onto the scone first and then the jam, while the Cornish say that it should be the other way round!Dartmoor National ParkIn the heart of the South-West, this national park has been voted the UK's favourite.

Her grandmother was watching her play with the 2-year-old German shepherd dog named Haus in their backyard when the dog suddenly jumped in front of the girl and reared up（用后腿站立） several times. It wasn't clear what happened at first, but they could tell Haus was bleeding. They brought Haus to a vet. When his leg was shaved, three bite marks could be seen—signs of being bitten by a snake. "It shows us that the dog protected my family at risk to his own life, " said Molly's father.A family friend firstly posted the dog's story online to collect money. "The response, " said Molly's father, "has been encouraging." Now hundreds of donors are coming to the family's rescue, quickly topping the goal of ＄15, 000 on a GoFundMe account to help pay for antivenin（抗蛇毒血清） needed to keep the dog that is still recovering in a hospital alive. By this afternoon, ＄35, 000 had been raised for the dog's care.The family lives near a state park that is a habitat for snakes, and dangerous animals can slip under their fence from the wilderness. The snake's venom damaged the dog's kidneys（肾脏）. Vets now expect a full recovery, but it won't be cheap. It costs＄1, 000 to＄1, 500 in the ICU each day, and each bottle of antivenin costs＄618. Haus is averaging 4 or 5 bottles per day to make the poison leave his system.The family adopted Haus just two months ago from a rescue organization for free, but he just went beyond the family's expectations.

They've been writing anonymous reports of restaurants for over 100 years."We say it's a little like the CIA, " said Inspector "M" with a laugh. She asked that her identity not be revealed." My whole life is staying under the radar, staying away from cameras, using fake names, trying to sneak （偷偷地走） in and out of restaurants quietly."Along with their boss, Jean Luc Naret, the director of the Michelin Guide, about 90 inspectors around the world decide which restaurants will win the culinary（烹饪的） equivalent of an Oscar, a Nobel Prize, and Mega millions jackpot all at once. The Michelin Guide covers 23 countries, and out of the 45, 000 rated restaurants, less than 100 have the top rating—only nine American restaurants carry three stars.If the name "Michelin" brings the tires（轮胎） on your car to mind, you're not too far off. The Michelin rating began in France in 1900 as a marketing trick. The Michelin brothers thought their customers would burn more rubber（橡胶） if given a list of hotels and restaurants to explore.Inspector "M" admitted being an inspector leads to a lonely dining life." Most of the time we dine alone, " she said." It gives us the ability to really focus on the food and the ambience（气氛） and capture the entire experience." To cover their tracks, "M" said sometimes two inspectors will dine together and write two separate papers. It's better than saying "table for one", right?"When you're really, really into food and very passionate about food, everything else that's going on around you isn't so important, " she said.(1) The underlined words "TAL#NBSP under the radar" in Paragraph 2 mean.A. trying to be unnoticedB. living in dangerC. being the focus of the mediaD. making programs on the radio(2) We can learn from the text that.A.

Indeed, he recalls, "I always kind of wanted to fly." Now as an entomologist（昆虫学家） in Gainesville, Florida, he studies insects for the AgriculturalResearch Service, part of the U.S. Department of Agriculture（USDA）.Mankin still can't fly-at least not without a plane. In fact, a rare muscle disease means he finds even walking hard. To get around, Mankin wears leg braces（支架） and uses two sticks. But that doesn't stop him from getting into the field to listen for bugs.He focuses on sounds most of us will never hear. With electronic equipment, he listens for the sounds that bugs make in wood, soil, or stored products.Mankin's disability played an indirect role in his career path. "I really started off in physics, " he says. But opportunities for people with disabilities seemed limited when he was in college. Then he got a chance to work at USDA in an insect research lab. He realized“there were just a lot of physics tools that you could apply to questions of entomology." Moreover, he notes, " Nobody else was doing it." Before long, he was hooked. He got more and more pleasure out of the work.Since turning to entomology—the study of bugs-Mankin has helped to develop equipment that can listen in on insects feeding on a tree. Their sounds make the wood vibrate（振动）. Pressure vibrations from the sound hit a crystal（水晶振动器） in his tool. The crystal develops a voltage（电压） when it's pressed due to the vibrations in the wood. The strength and frequency of voltage changes in the crystal let Mankin and others measure the sound of the insects.Mankin's research has taken him across the United States. He also needs to work in other countries. Often he teams up with biologists to listen for insects. Sometimes other scientists will assist him. "I'm good at operating the equipment, " he notes, "but I'm not good at climbing trees."(1) According to the text, if Mankin weren't physically disabled，he wouldhave.A. been a pilotB. become a physicianC. chosen a different careerD. performed better in entomology(2) What does the underlined part "TAL#NBSP he was hooked" in Paragraph 4 mean?A. He was confused.B. He got exhausted.C. He became successful.D. He fell in love with entomology.(3) What is the fifth paragraph mainly intended to show?A. How Mankin studies bugs.B. How insects' sound is recorded.C. How Mankin's equipment works.D. How Mankin develops new equipment.(4) What can we know about Mankin from the text?A. He developed the electronic equipment alone.B. He has travelled to lots of places for his work.C. He has become world-famous for his accomplishments.D. He has to rely on others to solve questions of entomology.二、七选五（共5小题，每小题2分，共10分）5、【来源】 2018年湖南长沙开福区长沙市第一中学高三三模第36~40题10分We all care about what others think of us and want to beliked.1However, there are also many smaller, simpler things you can do, which can affect how others view you.●Prove you are paying attention.To really show someone your interest in him or her, try bringing up a topic the person mentioned earlier.

Fill in each blank with a word or phrase that best fits the context.When I was in high school, I didn’t know anything about engineering. At that time, when the car I drove needed repairing, I was afraid to take it to the _36 . Because honestly, the mechanic could have _37__ me an electric can opener and said, “This is part of your car and it’s _38 -----pay me to fix it.” Then I wouldn’t have known any better.At the end of my junior year of high school, I heard about a summer program __39_ to interest girls in engineering. The six-week program was free, and students were _40_ college credits and a dorm room at the University of Maryland. I applied to the program, not because I wanted to be an engineer, but because I was looking forward to __41 and wanted to stay away from my parents for six weeks.I was accepted to the program and I earned six engineering credits. The next year I entered the university as an engineering student. Five years later I had a degree and three good job offers.I can’t help shaking _42__ I hear about studies that show women are __43_ when it comes to math. They imply that I am a little stupid. I’m not, but I _44__ know that if I hadn’t met with that summer program, I wouldn’t be an engineer.When I was growing up, I was told, as many students were, to dowhat I was best at. But I didn’t know what that was. Most people think that when you are _45__ something, it comes easily to you. But this is what I discovered just because a subject is _46__ to learn, it does not mean you are not good at it. You just have to grit your teeth and work hard to get good at it.

Evidence shows that the jobless are in poor health compared to the job-holders. A research shows that _48_ the unemployment rate increases by 1%, the death rate may increase by 2%. All this comes to one point work is helpful to health. Why is work good for health？It is because work keeps people busy, away from loneliness and anxieties. _49__ research shows that people feel unhappy, worried, and lonely when they have nothing to do. _50_, the happiest are those who are busy. Work serves _51_ a bridge between man and reality. By work, people come into contact with each other. By cooperation, they find friendship and warmth, _52__ are all helpful to health. The loss of work means the loss of everything. 53_ affects people spiritually and makes them liable to diseases. Besides, work makes one feel one’s value and status in society. When a doctor successfully operateson a patient _54_ a teacher sees his students make progress in their studies, he is happy beyond words.From the above, we can come to the conclusion that the _55_ work you do, the happier and healthier you will be.Part III Reading Comprehension (30 marks)Directions Read the following three passages., Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.A"Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me."You probably heard those lines in grammar school, but do you really agree that harsh (严厉的) or negative words do not harm us? Words have power. Surely we all have had our feelings hurt by something someone said.We may not say words to hurt others, but the way we interpret (解释) them and how we say them may cause great harm. Here’s an exampleAn ancient king dreamed all his teeth had fallen out. He sent for a wise man to explain his dream to him the dream means that all your relatives will die and you will be left alone!The king was very angry and threw the interpreter into prison. He then sent for another interpreter who said, "Congratulations! King! You will live many more years. In fact, you will survive all your relatives. Long Live the King!"Both interpreters gave the same interpretation, but there was a huge difference in the way they said it.Our speech must be understood by those who hear our words, but the way we say things and the intention behind them have as muchpower as the words themselves. Words can cause anger or appreciation. Which would you rather receive?People who say harsh and negative things may not mean to harm, but have you ever known anyone who is a naysayer? They often look at the dark sides of things. They always see the glass as half empty rather than half full. How do you feel when you are around this type of person? Remember words have power. Use them wisely.56. The author mentions the story of the ancient king to show that _____.A. one dream sometimes has different explanationsB. good words can bring good luck to peopleC. people should be careful when talking to a kingD. different ways of saying things have different effects57.

According to the text, how can people understand each other better?A. By sharing different life experiences.B. By accepting different habits.C. By properly using words.D. By recognizing different values.59. The author wrote the last paragraph to ______.A. show how the dark sides of things affect peopleB. advise people to see and say things positivelyC. show how harsh and negative words hurt peopleD. advise people to stay away from negative people60. The passage mainly talks about ______.A. the power of wordsB. the cruelty of the kingC. how to understand othersD. how to build good relationshipsBIt must be something that many American companies hold a baby contest.

In the last paragraph, the author advises parents to _________ .A. try their best to take good care of their babyB. enter the contests as soon as possibleC. encourage their kids to go to college when they grow upD. find more tips for winning the contestsCIn a recent study, researchers have estimated the energy required to produce bottled water, including the energy required to manufacture plastic, make the plastic into bottles, process the water, fill and seal the bottles, transport the bottles, and chill the bottles for use. Combining all the energy input totals for treatment and distribution, researchers found that producing bottled water requires between 5.6 and 10.2 million joules(焦耳) of energy per liter, depending on transportation factors. That's up to 2, 000 times the energy required to produce tap water.To break down the energy requirements, researchers found that producing the plastic bottles and transporting the bottles greatly dominated(控制) the energy input. Although some companies are experimenting with producing lightweight bottles or using recycled materials, the researchers calculated that the manufacturing cost is about 4 million joules of energy per plastic bottle weighing 38 grams, and the cap weighing 2 grams.“Our previous work had suggested that bottled water production was an energy intensive process, but we were surprised to see the results,” the researchers said.Transportation costs vary depending on the distance and mode of transport, and both factors depend on the type of bottled water. There are two main kinds of bottled water in the US. “spring water”, which comes from an underground spring, and “purified water”, which is city tap water that has received further treatment. For purified water distributed locally by truck within Los Angels, the total transportation energy is about 1.4 million joules per liter. In the second situation, spring water shipped from Fiji (such as Fiji Spring Water) across the Pacific to Los Angels, and then delivered locally by truck, requires about 4 million joules per liter for transportation. For the spring water, the transportation energy equaled (in the case of Fiji) the energy required to produce the bottle.With this data, the researchers hope that future studies will have the ability to make specific estimates for different situations, and possibly find ways to cut energy costs.66. From the first paragraph we can know that the energy required to ______.A. produce bottled water includes the energy required to drink itB. distribute bottled water includes the energy for producing the bottlesC. distribute bottled water is much smaller than the energy for treating itD. produce bottled water is much smaller than the energy for producing tap water67. To reduce the energy required to produce bottled water, some companies are trying ______.A. to fill tap water into the plastic bottles directlyB. to replace the plastic bottles with metal containersC. to produce lightweight bottles with recycled materialsD. to use bicycles to transport and deliver bottled water locally68. What's Paragraph 4 mainly talking about?A. Treatment of bottled water needs no energy input at all.B. Bottled water production is an energy intensive process.C. Transportation of bottled water takes up the most energy input.D. Production of the plastic bottles greatly dominated the energy input.69. We can infer from the passage that ______.A. there are two main kinds of bottled water in the USB. world consumption of bottled water has been increasingC. transportation costs have something to do with the mode of transportD. bottled water produced in Spring is more expensive than purified water70. What's the main purpose of the passage?A. To help consumers themselves make more environmentally sustainable choices.B. To advise the government to take severe measures to stopproducing bottled water.C. To urge the consumers to drink tap water instead of bottled waterfor the sake of the earth.D. To try the best to find ways to produce bottled water cheaplyand quickly for the companies.Part IV Writing (45 marks)Section A (10 marks)Directions Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage. Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.Would you work for nothing? Non-paid internships(实习生) have been common in the US for some time now. But these days, they are becoming more and more popular in other countries, too. Is this a good thing?For young people, there are clear benefits to doing an internship. Firstly, interns get a valuable insight into an industry they might be interested in working for. Also, having done an internship looks good on your CV, which is very important in today’s competitive job market. A lucky few may be hired at the end of the internship, so it’s a good way of getting a foot in the door. For other interns, there is even extra welfare deals on clothes if they’re working in the fashion in industry, free trips if they’re working for a travel agency…and so on.There are obvious benefits to companies, too. They can helpselect employees who are better. “If you put two young people to work as interns for twelve weeks, you’ll soon see who is good.”said one manager. Besides, they can save money. “If I use interns, I don’t have to pay another salary, or worry about paying pensions or giving people overtime pay.” said another.So, what do interns do? Most tasks are fairly routine. These may include photocopying, filing documents, or writing up notes from meetings. At times, interns may be given jobs with more responsibility, such as making sales calls, writing newsletters or updating websites.However, for some interns the experience can become unpleasant. “I worked for a theatre company for six weeks and spent the whole time photocopying scripts and making the tea and coffee. It is dull.”said one intern. On the other hand, non-paid internships violate the labor law in some countries, where workers must be paid the minimum wage and paid for overtime.Internship can provide benefits to both sides, but these unpaid workers are also easy to take advantage of!Title 71.____________I.

This idea never gained a big following in the United States. Recent news reports have suggested that interest may be growing, though there are no official numbers.Charles Deacon, the dean of admissions estimates that in the current first-year class of one thousand six hundred students, onlytwenty-five percent decided to take a year off. He says this number has not changed much over the years. He says the most common reasonsto have a chance to travel, but international students may take a gap year to meet requirements at home for military duty.Some high school graduates see a year off as a chance to recover after twelve years of required education. But it can also give students a chance to explore their interest.Many colleges and universities support gap-year projects by permitting students to delay their admission. Experts say students can grow emotionally and intellectually as they work at something they enjoy. The Harvard admissions office has an essay on its Website called “Time Out or Burn Out for the Next Generation”. It praises the idea of taking time off to step back, think and enjoy gaining life experience outside the pressure of studies. Of course, a gap year is not for everyone. Students might miss their friends who go on directly to college. And parents might worry that their children will decide not to go to college once they take time off. Another concern is money. A year off, away from home, can be costly.Holly Bull is the president of the Center for Interim Programs. Her company specializes in helping students plan their gap year. She notes that several books have been written about this subject. And she points out that many gap-year programs cost far less than a year of college.81. How do many colleges and universities support gap-year projects? (No more than 8 words)82. According to Charles Deacon, how many students in the currentfirst-year class of his school decided to take a gap year? (No more than 8 words)83. What is the purpose of some high school students taking a gap year?( No more than 6 words)84. Why do parents worry about children’s gap year? (No more than 15 words)Section C (25 marks)Directions Write an English composition according to the instructions given below in Chinese.在我们身边，经常可以看到一些人，无论是乘车、走路，还是吃饭都在低头摆弄手机。

How can I forget the day? On 14 July 1974 I travelled in an overcrowded bus to an unheard town called Shendurni.

ANovember isn’t the only time when people come together to raise money for good causes. Here are three other major charity events from around the world.Race for Life, UKWhat started off as a race of 680 women in a London park in l994 to raise money for a cancer charity has now turned into a massive nationwide event, with thousands of women up and down the UK taking part every year.Known for dressing head to toe in pink, participants raise money for breast cancer research by being sponsored to take part in marathons, which are organized all year round. Since it began, more than 8 million women have taken part, raising over £547million for Cancer Research UK.40-HourFamine (饥饿) , AustraliaNormally taking place in mid-August, this program encourages young Australians to give something up for 40 hours in order to raise awareness of less fortunate youths around the world.Participants raise money which is donated to good causes worldwide, by giving something up for the weekend, including the use of technology (TVs, computers, smartphones and so on), or even food. Since it began in l975, World Vision Australia, the event’s organizer, has raised over A$200 million.AIDS /LifeCycle, USEach year, thousands of people ride the 545-mile route from San Francisco to Los Angeles in order to raise money and awareness for HIV (AIDS-related causes. Cyclists make the trip over seven days, stopping each night atdesignated camps to shower, eat and relax. The mainly male riders are known for their colorful riding sportswear, with some dressing as nuns (修女)，cowboys or even in bikinis. The event has raised around $l00 million since it began in 200l.2l. In what way is “Race for life” special?A. The participants are all women.B. It’s a yearly marathon held in LondonC. All the athletes are cancer patients.D. It attracts about 8 million people every year.22. What do the cyclists mainly do in the AIDS /LifeCycle trip?A. Advertise for a brand sports suit.B. Research into the causes of AIDS.C.

They are all held to raise money for people in need.C. All the participants donate what they have to charity.D. They have all drawn people’s attention to cancer and AIDS.BIsn’t it amazing that one person can change your life by sharing one idea at the right time and place? This is certainly what happened in my life.When I was l8, I left home for El Paso. Upon reaching downtown El Paso, I met a homeless man on the street comer. He stopped me and questioned me as I passed by. He asked me if I was running away from home. I told him, “Not exactly, sir, since my father had given me a ride to the freeway in Houston and given me his blessings while saying. ‘It is important to follow your dream and what is in your heart, Son.’”After a simple conversation, the bum (流浪汉) told me to follow him. He told me that he had something grand to show me and share with me. We walked a couple of blocks until we came upon the downtown El Paso Public Library. The bum first led m e to a table and asked me to sit down and wait for a moment while he looked for something special among the shelves. A few moments later, he returned with a couple of old books under his arms and put them on the table.He then sat down beside me and said, “There are two things that I want to teach you, young man. Number one is to never judge a book by its cover. ”He followed with, “I’ll bet you think I’m a bum, don’t you, young man?”I said, “Well, uh, yes, I guess so, sir. ”“Well, young man, I’ve got a little surprise for you. I am one of the wealthiest men in the world. I originally come from the Northeast and have all the things that money can buy. But a year ago, my wife passed away, and since then I have been deeply reflecting upon life. I realized there were certain things I had not yet experienced in life, one of which was what it would be like to live like a beggar on the streets. For the past year I have been going from city to city doing just that. So, you see, don’t ever judge a book by its cover, for a cover can fool you.“Number two is to learn to read, my boy, for there is only one thing that people can’t take away from you and that is your wisdom. ”At that moment, he reached forward grabbed my right hand in his and put them upon the books he’d pulled from the shelves. They were the writings of Plato and Aristotle—immortal(不朽的) classics from ancient times.24. Why did the bum stop the author on the street?A. He wanted to know how he arrived there.B. He wanted to question him about his family.C. He doubted whether he ran away from home.D. He wondered if he could go to the library with him.25. What can we know about the author’s father?A. He completely supported him.B. He was confused at his behavior.C. He wondered what was in his mind.D. He was a little anxious about him.26. Why did the old man become a bum?A. He was deeply sad at his wife’s death.B. He just wanted to try anew way of life.C. He pretended to be poor to travel alone.D. He hoped to express his attitude towards money.27. How would the author probably feel about this experience?A. It was meaningless.B. It was ridiculous.C. It was amusingD. It was inspiring.CIt is back-to-school time in the United States, which for many is bittersweet. The bitter part is saying goodbye to carefree, unscheduled summer days. The sweet part is saying hello to a new school year and school friends.However, going back to school can also be a stressful time for children and families. Every kid must make the change from easy summer life to routines, schedules and homework. Parents might also stress about spending extra money for a new school year. They often need to pay school fees or to buy new school clothes, sports equipment, musical instruments and school supplies.Back-to-school stress is different for different ages. Younger children may feel scared to leave their families. Making new friends and dealing with bullying(欺霸行为) can also cause stress for students. Older students may stress about their appearance, grades and getting into college.A 20l3 survey by the American Psychological Association found that teens in the U. S. are now as stressed as adults. A high percentage of the teens surveyed say they are stressed about getting into a good college (83%) or deciding what to do after high school (69%) and financial concerns for their family (65%)However, parents, teachers and children can all help to make the transition(过渡) back to school easier.Mary Anne Aidala began teaching in the New York school system in l962. She retired 39 years later, in 200l. She is an award-winning teacher. She advises parents to focus on the basics—get enough sleep, eat healthy foods, and tum off electronics before bedtime.“Wel l, the first thing they (parents) have to do is to get them (children) on a schedule of sleep habits. And they should also make sure they have a good breakfast to keep their brains alert(机敏的). And maybe before they go to sleep every night they should start to read them a story or do something educational; so, they can start to reactivate their brains into using them. ”28. How do most kids generally feel when their summer holiday is over?A. Easy and energetic.B. Excited and nervous.C. Fully occupied and tired.D. Scared and stressed29.
