AAre you looking for something to do? You might like to try one of these four experiences.Crocodile watchingDo you fancy getting up close to some of the most terrifying animals on earth? Crocosaurus Cove, in Darwin (Australia) has the ―Cage of Death‖. It’s an enclosure that’s lowered into a pool. This gives you a 360 degree view of a crocodile as it’s being fed. The cable broke once and the cage sank to the bottom, but they’ve fixed it since then.EdgeWalkHow about walking along the edge of a building several hundred meters up in the air? If that sounds like fun, head off to the CN Tower in Toronto (Ontario, Canada). Built in 1976, the tower is 553.33 meters tall.The EdgeWalk consists of a 20-30 minute stroll along a 1.5 meter wide platform that runs around the tower’s restaurant roof. During the walk, you’re encouraged to lean forwards as you look over Toronto’s skyline (轮廓线).Plastic ball rollingDo you fancy rolling down a hill in a plastic ball?Plastic ball rolling is popular all over the world, but the place to give it a go is in Rotorua (New Zealand).Brother David and Andrew Akers came up with the idea in 1994. A typical orb(球) is about 3 meters in diameter, with an inner orb size of about 2 meters. There’s no brake or steering mechanism, but the inner layer of the plastic ball helps absorb the shock.Volcano bungee jumpingIf you’re looking for the adventure of a lifetime, how about going bungee jumping off a helicopter into the crater of a live volcano? As part of the jumping, a helicopter ride takes you to the Villarrica volcano, one of the most active in Chile. Once you’re at the drop zone, you leap off the helicopter and fall into the volcano. Finally, you enjoy the ride back to the airport flying at 130kph.Attracted by the above? If so, please contact us.

EdgeWalk.B. Crocodile watching.C. Plastic ball rolling.D. Volcano bungee jumping.23. It can be inferred that all the four experiences are ______.A. interesting sportsB. exciting and extremeC. held on high placesD. fit for middle to old peopleBI used to think that life in Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania, was filled with never-changing routines. I hated that everyone seemed to know everything about everyone else. Everyone seemed to enjoy talking about other people and their lives. I also didn’t like the fact that people seemed very close-minded. I felt trapped. I felt like I was missing out on opportunities. It seemed to me that city life would be the opposite.Then I took my first trip to New York City. I couldn’t wait to experience the city. However, when I arrived in the Big Apple, it wasn’t at all what I had imagined. I knew it was home to thousands of people, but I hadn’t had the least expectation to see so many people on the street at one time. All the streets were filled with people. I also felt a little surprised to see that everyone was in a hurry and everything moved at such a fast pace. When I took the subway for the first time, I said hello to the middle-aged woman next to me. She looked at me with dislike and didn’t say a word.After just one day, I realized how important my small town is to me. Now I appreciate the familiar faces I see every day. I like the feeling of security and belonging my town offers. Jim Thorpe gives me a sense of community and togetherness that the city doesn’t provide. I realize just how much a simple hello does for a stranger — it really can make your day a little better.My big trip showed me that my small town really has instilled(注入) morals and values in me that I d idn’t even know I had. I would never have known what a big place my town holds in my heart if I had not taken that trip to New York City.24.How did the author feel about life in Jim Thorpe at first?A. People there cared little about others.B. People there liked to accept new things.C. Living there was a great disadvantage.D. There were many chances of career development.25. What surprised the author most in New York City?A. The gestures of greeting.B. The modern transportation.C. The fast pace of life.D. The crowded streets.26. What made the author change his / her attitudes to his /her hometown?A. Travelling to New York City.B. The familiar faces in Jim Thorpe.C. A big place in his / her town.D. Everybody likes talking about others.27. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Love of my small townB. A sense of communityC. A pleasant trip to New York CityD. Differences between big cities and small townsCHave you ever found yourself in this situation: You hear a song you used to sing when you were a child – a bit of nostalgia(怀旧) or ―blast from the past,‖ as we say. But it is not a distant childhood memory. The words come back to you as clearly as when you sang them all those years ago.Researchers at the University of Edinburgh studied the relationship between music and remembering a foreign language. They found that remembering words in a song was the best way to remember even one of the most difficult languages.Here is what they did. Researchers took 60 adults and randomly divided them into three groups of 20. Then they gave the groups three different types of ―listen-and-repeat‖ learning conditions. Researchers had one group simply speak the words. They had the second group speak the words to a rhythm, or beat. And they asked the third group to sing the words.All three groups studied words from the Hungarian language for 15 minutes. Then they took part in a series of language tests to see what they remembered.Why Hungarian, you ask? Researchers said they chose Hungarian because not many people know the language. It does not share any roots with Germanic or Romance languages, such as Italian or Spanish. After the tests were over, the singers came out on top. The people who learned these new Hungarian words by singing them showed a higher overall performance. They did the best in four out of five of the tests. They also performed two times better than those who simply learned the words by speaking them.Dr. Katie Overy says singing could lead to new ways to learn a foreign language. The brain likes to remember things when they are contained in a catchy 3, or memorable 4, tune 5.Dr. Ludke said the findings could help those who struggle to learn foreign languages. On the University of Edinburgh’s website Dr. Ludke writes, ―This study provides the first experimental evidence that a listen-and-repeat singing method can support foreign language learning, and opens the door for future research in this area.‖28. The ―song‖ mentioned in the first paragr aph is intended to__________.A. recall the pastB. attract the readersC. introduce the topicD. compare the childhood with the present29. According to the passage which language doesn’t share the same root wit h Germanic or Romance languages?A. HungarianB. SpanishC. ItalianD. English30. Based on the last two paragraphs, we can conclude that __________A. singing is the best way to learn a language.B. the brain probably works best when the foreign language learners sing the words.C. a listen-repeat method is very effective for any language learner.D. Dr. Katie Overy and Dr. Ludke disagree with each other.31. In which situation can the finding of the research be applied?A. A mother is going to teach her baby how to speak.B. A child is going to have his first music lesson.C. A student is going to learn a new English song.D. An American is going to learn some Chinese.DIf you are driving with a minor（未成年人）, lighting up could get expensive. About six states have already banned smoking in cars with kids. And Washington may be next.House Bill 2086 is trying to ban anyone from lighting a cigarette, a cigar or pipe while parking or driving if there is someone under 18 in the vehicle.―Harmful chemicals that are coming out of someone smoking in a car are the same as a firefighter fighting a forest fire for four to eight hours,‖ said state Representative Steve Bergquist.Supporters of the bill say they want to protect the quarter-million Washington kids who live with smokers. ―Research shows that kids of smokers are twice as likely to become smokers themselves. I am one of those children,‖ said Meagan Darrow, director of the Lacey-based TOGETHER, a positive youth development advocacy group. ―We also know it’s an asthma（哮喘）trigger; 10 percent of our kids in our state have asthma.‖However, some lawmakers say the smoking ban would overburden law enforcement（执行）.―I don’t know how we can expect them to stop everyone who is smoking a cigarette to see if there is a child in the car,‖ State Representative Norm Johnson, R-Yakima, said.The fine would be $125 for the first offense, and additional violations could be double. It would not show up on a driver’s record or be reported to an insurance company but some say the government is still going too far.If it is passed, that means a police officer could simply pull someone over if they see someone smoking and they think a minor is in the car.―When I see someone smoking with a kid in the car, I feel bad for the kids. But, on t he other hand, it’s one of those issues, …‖ Thurston County resident Debra Defreyn said. ―That’s like coming to my house to tell me I can’t do something in my house.‖32.House Bill 2086 is intended to _____.A. ban smoking in public placesB. reduce the number of young smokersC. prevent people from smoking when drivingD. protect children from drivers smoking in cars33.What can we learn from Meagan Darrow’s words?A. His parents are probably smokers.B. He is strongly against House Bill 2086.C. He has successfully given up smoking.D. He suffers from asthma caused by smoking.34.The underlined word ―them‖ in Paragraph 5 refers to _____.A. lawmakersB. police officersC. state representativesD. youth development organizations35. Debra Defreyn thought House Bill 2086 _____.A. is very hard to come into effectB. is a safety measure for driversC. will be passed in the near futureD. violate people’s freedom in a way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。
