But my happy image became a nightmare when Allen and his older brother, Leo, showed up with a truck filled with camping equipment—tents, sleeping bags, and water bottles. We were going on survival training!Leo was keen to leave the city behind us and urged us to hurry. Several hours later, as we drove through the forest, the mountains seemed bigger than I remembered; the trees were larger, and the environment felt more threatening.At the trailhead, Leo tied a sleeping bag onto my already heavy pack and lectured Allen and me about hiking rules. Then, with Leo in front we set off along the narrow and steep dirt track that wound up the mountains.After 6 hours of climbing, we finally reached the top. My legs were aching and I dropped my pack and groaned but there was no time to rest. “We need to set up camp quickly,” said Leo. “There are dark clouds coming in. A storm’s on its way.”I thought he was kidding, but Leo was quite serious. He and Allen worked expertly, while I stood around and pretended to help, thunder rumbling (发出隆隆声) in the distance. We just finished putting up the tents when it hit. The wind, thunder, and lightning were relentless (持续强烈的).Leo, sensing that I was scared, started telling us some stories about his camping adventures. But each time lightning lit up the tent and the thunder echoed, I jumped. “Don’t worry. Summer storms pass quickly,” Leo said, tryin g to comfort me. “And at least the rain will keep the bears away,” he said with a teasing smile, which was less comforting.And just as quickly as the storm came rushing in, it passed, and we exited the tent. The view was incredible —I could see for miles. As darkness set in, I stared in wonder at the millions of stars glowing in the night sky.I wouldn’t lie—I was still wishing for a hot shower and a soft bed, but as I gazed upward at the Milky Way, I knew this was an adventure I would never forget.24.Why did the author think his happy image became a nightmare?A.

Researchers have found that insufficient sleep and tiredness increase a person’s risk of developing severe medical conditions, such as obesity (肥胖症), high blood sugar levels, and heart disease. Now, a new study has found that getting sufficient sleep is also the key to improving academic performance.Jeffrey Gross, the university science professor who led the research, was not trying to find the relationshipbetween sleep and grades when he handed out smartwatches to the 100 students in his chemistry class. Instead, the professor hoped the wrist-worn devic es, which track a person’s physical activity, would show a connection between exercise and academic achievements.While Gross’s data showed no relationshi p between these two factors, the study found something surprising. As the researchers were analyzing their data, they noticed that there was a linear (线性的) relationship between the average amount of sleep the students got and their results in the course’s 11 quizzes, three midterm tests, and the final exam.Even more interesting, it was not sufficient for students to just head to bed early the night before a test. Instead, it’s the sleep you get during the days when learning is happening that matters most.When students went to bed each night was similarly important. Those who went to bed in the early hours of the morning performed poorly, even if the total sleep time was the same as a higher-performing student. “When you go to bed matters,” Gross says.“If you go to bed at 10, or 12, or 1 at night, and sleep for seven hours, your performance is the same. But if you go to bed after 2, your performance starts to go down even if you get the same seven hours’ sleep. So, quantity isn’t everything.”Perhaps the mo st interesting was the huge impact that small differences in sleep patterns had on the students’ grades. The overall course grades of students averaging six and a half hours of sleep each night were 25% lower than students who averaged just one hour more sleep. Similarly, students who varied their bedtime by even one hour each night had grades that dropped 45% below those with more regular bedtime.Who knew getting straight A’s just required some extra sleep?28.Based on his original objective, which best d escribes Professor Gross’s research findings?A. Accidental.B. Complete.C. Convincing.D. Doubtful.29.Who were the people taking part in the study?A. Middle school chemistry students.B. Volunteers from different universities.C. Professor Gross’s own students.D. University student athletes.30.How did Professor Gross’s team measure students’ academic performance ?A. Making the students wear special watches.B. Using students’ university entrance test results.C. Giving the students regular quizzes after class.D. Using the students’ normal test and quiz grades.31.Based on the study’s findings, who is likely to perform best academically?A. A student who has a good night’s sleep the night before an important test.B. A student whose normal bedtime varies between 9 p.m. and 12 p.m.C. A student who sleeps from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. each day.D. A student who sleeps for a total of 7 hours each night.DHow affordable is high culture? One great myth (错误观念) of our time is that tickets for opera, theatre, ballets and orchestral (管弦乐的) concerts are too expensive, especially for the young. This is infuriating as, in Britain, at least, the claim is ridiculous and offensive. The cheap tickets to hear London’s orchestras range from ￡7 to ￡9—the same as a cinema ticket, and lower than the entry price to many pop music and comedy clubs. For comparison, when the Los Angeles Philharmonic performs with top soloists and conductors the cheapest seat is ￡30; and at the Berlin Philharmonic it’s an expensive ￡46.Finding cheap tickets to the opera and ballet isn’t so easy. Actually, British companies don’t charge the ridiculously high prices found on the Continent (￡2,000 for a good seat at the premiere of La Scala’s Carmen last December), but the tickets are still pretty steep. Large fees paid to star performers mostly account for that. Luckily, however, one spectacular technological innovation has transformed the scene. It’s live cinema transmissions (节目播送). The Metropolitan Opera in New York now beams its shows to 800 cinemas round the world, and British companies aren’t far behind. Cinematic opera is excellent value. For the cost of a good bottle of wine (￡10 or ￡15 for the Royal Opera House’s shows), you can sit in your local movie house and see a high-definition relay of what’s occurring on the world’s grandest stages. No, it’s not the same as being there, but it’s almost as good. The sound is incredible. The images of dancers are fantastic. And you can react to the show as part of a live audience, rather than sitting on your own at home.To me, a mountain of evidence, together with free museum admission, indicates that the arts world should stop worrying that its audiences are still mostly middle-class. Anyone who can afford to visit a pub can also afford to see top-quality drama, music and dance. The real battle now should be ensuring that schoolchildren are given enough tastes of high culture to make them want to buy all those cheap tickets when they grow up.32.What does the underlined word “infuriating” in paragraph 1 mean?A. Quite interesting.B. Very annoying.C. Not certain.D. Extremely obvious.33.What is the main reason for expensive opera tickets?A. The amount of money charged by top performers.B. The costly technology required for broadcasting.C. The demand of companies for big profits.D. The high cost of renting the stages.34.Which of the following is true about cinematic opera?A. People can decide where to watch the opera.B. Audiences are discouraged from responding to the performances.C. It provides an inexpensive way of enjoying a live opera performance.D. The sound and visual quality are superior to the live performance.35.Which statement would the author agree with?A. The quality of opera performances is improving.B. High culture is becoming more affordable in Europe.C. The cost of access to high culture activities should be lowered.D. Children should be encouraged to participate in high culture events.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。
