A
What's the best way to stay awake in meetings
①The right time
Morning is best for things like status updates and logical thinking, when sharpness and enthusiasm are at their height, while closer to the end of the day is a really good time for brainstorming. And of course, never do meetings in the period right after lunch.
Ensuring a meeting has a clearly stated finish time is more important. We often fall asleep in meetings out of boredom, not tiredness.
②The right place
Meeting in unconventional locations can help boost creativity. Standing meetings—where participants talk without sitting down—have also been praised by many efficiency experts for keeping things efficient.
③Be prepared
One recent study found American workers felt just 33% of leaders were well prepared for meetings. Ensuring a clear agenda is a common piece of advice from productivity experts.
An agenda is essential, because if you don't know why we're in a meeting, then there's no reason for the meeting.
One of the ways that people stay awake is that they're in a meeting that's interesting to them and relevant to their work.
④To snack or not to snack
The right kind of snacks can help improve the meeting culture. Snacks can keep people alert, for one thing, but are also a “symbol of caring”. Of course, avoiding loud or smelly snacks is important.
⑤Engage
To put it simply, you can't fall asleep if you're participating. Speaking up during the first three minutes allows you to feel like a contributor, not a listener. Taking notes can also be helpful in keeping your brain alert.
For leaders, make sure to stick firmly to the agenda and only the agenda. Tacking on other business is when the bores kick off.
⑥Fidget away
When all else fails, keeping your hands busy can help. Doodling is another longstanding method for bored meeting goers, but it can make you even sleepier. Sometimes, it may just take a piece of skin on your own arm instead.
And if you do happen to nod off
If you continue to sleep, it may be best to leave. Make a swift excuse that doesn't sound offensive, get up quietly, apologize and leave.
21．As the main organizer of the conference, what suggestions should you probably focus on
A．②③④⑤ B．①②③④

A．① B．② or ④
C．② or ⑤ D．⑥
23．What's the author's last trick for avoiding a meeting nap
A．Keeping your hands busy.
B．Participation.
C．Squeezing your own arms.

The Torch Festival(火把节)is a traditional festival which is celebrated among some ethnic groups in southwestern China, such as the Yi, Bai, Hani, Lisu, and Lahu, etc. It usually falls on the 24th or 25th of June, with three days of celebrations. The festival came from worship (崇拜) of fire by ancestors (祖先). For some ethnic groups，it's a tradition in the festival for elders to share farming experience with young people and educate them about taking care of crops.
During the festival, big torches are made to stand in all villages, with small torches placed in front of the door of each house. When night falls, the torches are lit and the villages are bright. At the same time, people walk around the fields and houses, holding small torches and placing the torches in the field corners. Inside the villages, young people are singing and dancing around the big torches that keep burning throughout the night. Other activities like horse races are also held during the festival.
In a horse race of the Yi people in Yunnan, torches are used to form hurdles for riders to get through. The Hani people in Yunnan traditionally tie fruits to torches with strings. When the strings are broken after the torches are lit, people struggle for the fruits for good luck.
For the Lisu people in Sichuan，the festival is an occasion for holding torch parades. Big torches are carried by teams of people, which is like a fire dragon. If different teams meet, it's a tradition to exchange the big torches with one another.
24．What can we know about the Torch Festival from the first paragraph
A．It has nothing to do with farming.
B．Its celebrations usually last two days.
C．It is a traditional festival of all China.
D．It is a festival to show worship of fire.

B．Where the festival is celebrated.
C．How the festival is celebrated.
D．What torches are used for the festival.
27．Which is a way that Lisu people in Sichuan celebrate the festival according to the text
A．Holding torch parades.

In the earliest days of the United States, Americans began their days by eating whatever was most easily available. These foods often included bread, eggs or leftovers—food left over from the night before.
Today, ease is still an important factor when it comes to breakfast. However, what people eat has changed over time. And some of today's common breakfast foods, such as cereals(谷类食品), are the result of very effective marketing.
“Advertising was practically invented to sell cereals，” says Heather Arndt Anderson, the writer of the book Breakfast: AHistory.
Arndt Anderson adds, “One of the first ways advertising was successfully or effectively used was to convince mothers that it was okay for their children to eat these instant cereals. It sort of offered working mothers a chance to let kids take care of themselves in the morning.”
Advertising also played an important part in orange juice becoming a morning drink. In 1916, farmers grew more oranges than usual, so advertisers began saying, “Drink an orange.” They aimed to persuade people that drinking orange juice was a healthy way to start the day. Two years later, a worldwide flu epidemic caused people to drink more orange juice for its health benefits.
As for coffee, it might have the 1773 Boston Tea Party to thank for its popularity in the United States. In that year, American colonists protested British taxation by throwing tea into Boston Harbor. In time, coffee became so popular that people traveling to the American West in the 1830s made sure to carry coffee beans on the journey.
Americans still eat breakfast foods like bread and eggs as their ancestors did. Writer Heather Arndt Anderson notes that people's concerns about healthy food choices have also stayed the same.
She says the idea of clean eating and healthy eating has been around for hundreds of years. She adds, “The only thing that's changed has been the details with which we define what these things are—what clean eating is, and being healthy.”
Heather Arndt Anderson hopes more Americans will see leftovers as a breakfast food. She adds that leftovers taste good and are a great way to reduce waste.
28．As breakfast foods, what is the common feature of bread, eggs and leftovers
A．Convenience. B．Delicious taste.
C．Health choice. D．Low price.
29．According to the passage, how did advertisement come into being
A．By selling instant cereals.
B．By growing orange.
C．By asking people to drink orange juice.
D．By changing mothers' traditional ideas.
30．What is the reason for the popularity of coffee in the United States
A．The Boston Tea Party.
B．Traveling to the American West.
C．Low tax on coffee.
D．Advertising from American colonists.
31．What's the best title for the passage
A．Tips for choosing American breakfast
B．A review about a food book
C．The most popular American food
D．The history of American breakfast
D
The headmaster of his school asked students to put three books by the bedside: the Bible, a prayer book and an atlas.
Looking at the map of China in the atlas one night，William Lindesay came across the saw tooth like line that wound through the vast expanse of north China.
“I fell in love with it immediately，” he said in an interview. “I thought it would be a great journey and adventure if one day I could travel along it, from end to end.”
In 1987, William Lindesay, 30, began the challenge of climbing the Great Wall on foot. He measured 2 470 kilometers of the Great Wall in 78 days.
William estimated that he spent about 1 600 days of his life on the Great Wall, or four years.
Walking on the Great Wall for more than 30 years, William Lindesay found that the Great Wall had been increasingly damaged by natural weathering and man made destruction. He resolutely decided to stay in China, taking the research and protection of the Great Wall as his lifelong aim.
Lindesay is the winner of the 1998 Friendship Award and 2008 Beijing Great Wall Friendship Award, according to the website of China's State Administration of Foreign Experts Affairs. He also received the Order of the British Empire from the Queen in 2006 for his contribution to cultural exchanges between China and Britain.
“Some people say it will take generations to change; I say we don't have generations of time. It's got to be much quicker，” he said.
Lindesay always carries a garbage bag with him in the wilderness, picking litter along the way.
The cloth bag bears a set of nine simple guidelines in Chinese, which calls on people to observe while traveling or camping outdoors：“Take your own garbage home”， “Pick up litter left by others”， and lots more.
“Every person can make a difference. If we can get a billion Chinese people to be environmentalists, China will be a green, beautiful and healthy country to live in，” he said.
32．The underlined word“it” in Paragraph 3 refers to ________.
A．the saw tooth like line
B．the three books
C．the Great Wall
D．the north of China
33．What made Lindesay take the research and protection of the Great Wall as his lifelong aim
A．The first great journey and adventure.
B．Love and worry about the present situation of the Great Wall.
C．The dream in his childhood.
D．His contribution to cultural exchanges between China and Britain.
34．According to the passage, which of the following titles does not describe Lindesay's identity
A．An explorer.
B．A goodwill messenger.
C．An environmentalist.
D．A diplomat.
35．Which is the best title for the passage
A．An Englishman's journey of more than 30 years along the Great Wall
B．The Great Wall in the eyes of foreigners
C．A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step
D．Environmental protection starts with me

第二节 读后续写(满分25分)
阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I'm originally from Orange County, California, where I had the pleasure and honor of serving as a Newport Beach ocean lifeguard for five seasons. Whenever I could, I got shifts working the Point. If you wanted to save lives, that's where you worked. The Point was known for its massive rip currents(激流).
One day, late in a shift, I was working Tower 15. Two blocks to my right was another guard named Mike, working Tower 17. I'd known Mike for a number of years. Mike had a rough upbringing. You can tell just by looking at him. He had a number of really frightening tattoos (文身) , and his bald head showed the scar he got from a broken beer bottle. Maybe he wasn't the friendliest guard on the beach. I admit I didn't really get along with Mike. But everything he lacked in friendly appearance and social skills had been more than made up for in his lifesaving ability.
He called me over the phone and said, “Hey, I got a couple of kids. I gotta go and give them a warning. Keep an eye on us.”
“Sure，” I said and hung up.
Anytime you get out of your tower, you're supposed to let somebody else know, in case a situation develops. And sure enough, as soon as he hung up the phone, a rip was snapped up under those two kids, and they were getting sucked out. Mike saw it before it was happening, and he ran full speed toward the ocean. I scanned the water. All I saw were two small noses bobbing(上下浮动)in the water.
I dropped my binocle (望远镜), called in and said，“Double rescue 17—he's out. I'm going.” Mike was already punching through the surf line. By now, the mother of the two kids had realized what was happening. She was on her feet and screaming.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式作答。
Mike reached the kids—a brother and a sister around eight or nine years old.________________________________________________________________________

The best time to enjoy a music festival is summer. Each year Europe offers thousands of summer festivals. Now, let's take a look at some of them.
Exit is an award winning summer music festival. It is held in the city of Novi Sad, Serbia, every year. Exit is special in the festival world, because it started as a student movement fighting for peace in Serbia.
Tomorrow Land is the largest electronic music festival in the world. It is held in a small town in Belgium. Every year the festival organizers spend a long time decorating the stages. For example, in 2011, Tomorrow Land took on an “Alice in Wonderland” theme for its main stage. There were big oak trees, mushrooms and waterfalls on the stage.
Roskilde Festival is a week long music and culture event. It was created in 1971 by two high school students in Denmark. And now it has become a well known music festival in Europe.

26．答案与解析：C 段落大意题。根据第二段可知，在节日期间，所有的村庄都要制作大火炬，每户人家门前都要放置小火炬。夜幕降临，火炬点亮，村庄一片光明。与此同时，人们在田野和房屋周围走动，拿着小火炬，把火炬放在田野的角落里。在村子里，年轻人围着通宵燃烧的大火炬唱歌跳舞。其他活动，如赛马也在节日期间举行。故本段主要讲述了在火把节期间的庆祝活动，也就是怎么庆祝这个节日。故选C项。

A
What's the best way to stay awake in meetings
①The right time
Morning is best for things like status updates and logical thinking, when sharpness and enthusiasm are at their height, while closer to the end of the day is a really good time for brainstorming. And of course, never do meetings in the period right after lunch.
Ensuring a meeting has a clearly stated finish time is more important. We often fall asleep in meetings out of boredom, not tiredness.
②The right place
Meeting in unconventional locations can help boost creativity. Standing meetings—where participants talk without sitting down—have also been praised by many efficiency experts for keeping things efficient.
③Be prepared
One recent study found American workers felt just 33% of leaders were well prepared for meetings. Ensuring a clear agenda is a common piece of advice from productivity experts.
An agenda is essential, because if you don't know why we're in a meeting, then there's no reason for the meeting.
One of the ways that people stay awake is that they're in a meeting that's interesting to them and relevant to their work.
④To snack or not to snack
The right kind of snacks can help improve the meeting culture. Snacks can keep people alert, for one thing, but are also a “symbol of caring”. Of course, avoiding loud or smelly snacks is important.
⑤Engage
To put it simply, you can't fall asleep if you're participating. Speaking up during the first three minutes allows you to feel like a contributor, not a listener. Taking notes can also be helpful in keeping your brain alert.
For leaders, make sure to stick firmly to the agenda and only the agenda. Tacking on other business is when the bores kick off.
⑥Fidget away
When all else fails, keeping your hands busy can help. Doodling is another longstanding method for bored meeting goers, but it can make you even sleepier. Sometimes, it may just take a piece of skin on your own arm instead.
And if you do happen to nod off
If you continue to sleep, it may be best to leave. Make a swift excuse that doesn't sound offensive, get up quietly, apologize and leave.

The Torch Festival(火把节)is a traditional festival which is celebrated among some ethnic groups in southwestern China, such as the Yi, Bai, Hani, Lisu, and Lahu, etc. It usually falls on the 24th or 25th of June, with three days of celebrations. The festival came from worship (崇拜) of fire by ancestors (祖先). For some ethnic groups，it's a tradition in the festival for elders to share farming experience with young people and educate them about taking care of crops.
During the festival, big torches are made to stand in all villages, with small torches placed in front of the door of each house. When night falls, the torches are lit and the villages are bright. At the same time, people walk around the fields and houses, holding small torches and placing the torches in the field corners. Inside the villages, young people are singing and dancing around the big torches that keep burning throughout the night. Other activities like horse races are also held during the festival.
In a horse race of the Yi people in Yunnan, torches are used to form hurdles for riders to get through. The Hani people in Yunnan traditionally tie fruits to torches with strings. When the strings are broken after the torches are lit, people struggle for the fruits for good luck.
For the Lisu people in Sichuan，the festival is an occasion for holding torch parades. Big torches are carried by teams of people, which is like a fire dragon. If different teams meet, it's a tradition to exchange the big torches with one another.
24．What can we know about the Torch Festival from the first paragraph
A．It has nothing to do with farming.
B．Its celebrations usually last two days.
C．It is a traditional festival of all China.
D．It is a festival to show worship of fire.

In the earliest days of the United States, Americans began their days by eating whatever was most easily available. These foods often included bread, eggs or leftovers—food left over from the night before.
Today, ease is still an important factor when it comes to breakfast. However, what people eat has changed over time. And some of today's common breakfast foods, such as cereals(谷类食品), are the result of very effective marketing.
“Advertising was practically invented to sell cereals，” says Heather Arndt Anderson, the writer of the book Breakfast: AHistory.
Arndt Anderson adds, “One of the first ways advertising was successfully or effectively used was to convince mothers that it was okay for their children to eat these instant cereals. It sort of offered working mothers a chance to let kids take care of themselves in the morning.”
Advertising also played an important part in orange juice becoming a morning drink. In 1916, farmers grew more oranges than usual, so advertisers began saying, “Drink an orange.” They aimed to persuade people that drinking orange juice was a healthy way to start the day. Two years later, a worldwide flu epidemic caused people to drink more orange juice for its health benefits.
As for coffee, it might have the 1773 Boston Tea Party to thank for its popularity in the United States. In that year, American colonists protested British taxation by throwing tea into Boston Harbor. In time, coffee became so popular that people traveling to the American West in the 1830s made sure to carry coffee beans on the journey.
Americans still eat breakfast foods like bread and eggs as their ancestors did. Writer Heather Arndt Anderson notes that people's concerns about healthy food choices have also stayed the same.
She says the idea of clean eating and healthy eating has been around for hundreds of years. She adds, “The only thing that's changed has been the details with which we define what these things are—what clean eating is, and being healthy.”
Heather Arndt Anderson hopes more Americans will see leftovers as a breakfast food. She adds that leftovers taste good and are a great way to reduce waste.
28．As breakfast foods, what is the common feature of bread, eggs and leftovers
A．Convenience. B．Delicious taste.
C．Health choice. D．Low price.
29．According to the passage, how did advertisement come into being
A．By selling instant cereals.
B．By growing orange.
C．By asking people to drink orange juice.
D．By changing mothers' traditional ideas.
30．What is the reason for the popularity of coffee in the United States
A．The Boston Tea Party.
B．Traveling to the American West.
C．Low tax on coffee.
D．Advertising from American colonists.
31．What's the best title for the passage
A．Tips for choosing American breakfast
B．A review about a food book
C．The most popular American food
D．The history of American breakfast

The headmaster of his school asked students to put three books by the bedside: the Bible, a prayer book and an atlas.
Looking at the map of China in the atlas one night，William Lindesay came across the saw tooth like line that wound through the vast expanse of north China.
“I fell in love with it immediately，” he said in an interview. “I thought it would be a great journey and adventure if one day I could travel along it, from end to end.”
In 1987, William Lindesay, 30, began the challenge of climbing the Great Wall on foot. He measured 2 470 kilometers of the Great Wall in 78 days.
William estimated that he spent about 1 600 days of his life on the Great Wall, or four years.
Walking on the Great Wall for more than 30 years, William Lindesay found that the Great Wall had been increasingly damaged by natural weathering and man made destruction. He resolutely decided to stay in China, taking the research and protection of the Great Wall as his lifelong aim.
Lindesay is the winner of the 1998 Friendship Award and 2008 Beijing Great Wall Friendship Award, according to the website of China's State Administration of Foreign Experts Affairs. He also received the Order of the British Empire from the Queen in 2006 for his contribution to cultural exchanges between China and Britain.
“Some people say it will take generations to change; I say we don't have generations of time. It's got to be much quicker，” he said.
Lindesay always carries a garbage bag with him in the wilderness, picking litter along the way.
The cloth bag bears a set of nine simple guidelines in Chinese, which calls on people to observe while traveling or camping outdoors：“Take your own garbage home”， “Pick up litter left by others”， and lots more.
“Every person can make a difference. If we can get a billion Chinese people to be environmentalists, China will be a green, beautiful and healthy country to live in，” he said.
32．The underlined word“it” in Paragraph 3 refers to ________.
A．the saw tooth like line
B．the three books
C．the Great Wall
D．the north of China
33．What made Lindesay take the research and protection of the Great Wall as his lifelong aim
A．The first great journey and adventure.
B．Love and worry about the present situation of the Great Wall.
C．The dream in his childhood.
D．His contribution to cultural exchanges between China and Britain.
34．According to the passage, which of the following titles does not describe Lindesay's identity
A．An explorer.
B．A goodwill messenger.
C．An environmentalist.
D．A diplomat.
35．Which is the best title for the passage
A．An Englishman's journey of more than 30 years along the Great Wall
B．The Great Wall in the eyes of foreigners
C．A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step
D．Environmental protection starts with me

第二节 读后续写(满分25分)
阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I'm originally from Orange County, California, where I had the pleasure and honor of serving as a Newport Beach ocean lifeguard for five seasons. Whenever I could, I got shifts working the Point. If you wanted to save lives, that's where you worked. The Point was known for its massive rip currents(激流).
One day, late in a shift, I was working Tower 15. Two blocks to my right was another guard named Mike, working Tower 17. I'd known Mike for a number of years. Mike had a rough upbringing. You can tell just by looking at him. He had a number of really frightening tattoos (文身) , and his bald head showed the scar he got from a broken beer bottle. Maybe he wasn't the friendliest guard on the beach. I admit I didn't really get along with Mike. But everything he lacked in friendly appearance and social skills had been more than made up for in his lifesaving ability.
He called me over the phone and said, “Hey, I got a couple of kids. I gotta go and give them a warning. Keep an eye on us.”
“Sure，” I said and hung up.
Anytime you get out of your tower, you're supposed to let somebody else know, in case a situation develops. And sure enough, as soon as he hung up the phone, a rip was snapped up under those two kids, and they were getting sucked out. Mike saw it before it was happening, and he ran full speed toward the ocean. I scanned the water. All I saw were two small noses bobbing(上下浮动)in the water.
I dropped my binocle (望远镜), called in and said，“Double rescue 17—he's out. I'm going.” Mike was already punching through the surf line. By now, the mother of the two kids had realized what was happening. She was on her feet and screaming.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式作答。
Mike reached the kids—a brother and a sister around eight or nine years old.________________________________________________________________________

The best time to enjoy a music festival is summer. Each year Europe offers thousands of summer festivals. Now, let's take a look at some of them.
Exit is an award winning summer music festival. It is held in the city of Novi Sad, Serbia, every year. Exit is special in the festival world, because it started as a student movement fighting for peace in Serbia.
Tomorrow Land is the largest electronic music festival in the world. It is held in a small town in Belgium. Every year the festival organizers spend a long time decorating the stages. For example, in 2011, Tomorrow Land took on an “Alice in Wonderland” theme for its main stage. There were big oak trees, mushrooms and waterfalls on the stage.
Roskilde Festival is a week long music and culture event. It was created in 1971 by two high school students in Denmark. And now it has become a well known music festival in Europe.

B
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了火把节是中国西南地区一些少数民族的传统节日，以及在节日期间不同民族的庆祝活动。
24．答案与解析：D 细节理解题。根据第一段中“The festival came from worship of fire by ancestors.(这个节日来源于祖先对火的崇拜)”可知，火把节是一个祭火的节日。故选D项。
25．答案与解析：B 词义猜测题。根据第一段中“For some ethnic groups, it's a tradition in the festival for elders to share farming experience with young people and educate them about taking care of crops.(对于一些少数民族来说，年长者与年轻人分享种植经验并教育他们如何照料庄稼是节日的传统)”可知，由年长者分享种植经验给年轻人，可以猜测也是年长者教育年轻人如何照料庄稼，因此代词them指的是年轻人“young people”。故选B项。
26．答案与解析：C 段落大意题。根据第二段可知，在节日期间，所有的村庄都要制作大火炬，每户人家门前都要放置小火炬。夜幕降临，火炬点亮，村庄一片光明。与此同时，人们在田野和房屋周围走动，拿着小火炬，把火炬放在田野的角落里。在村子里，年轻人围着通宵燃烧的大火炬唱歌跳舞。其他活动，如赛马也在节日期间举行。故本段主要讲述了在火把节期间的庆祝活动，也就是怎么庆祝这个节日。故选C项。

33．答案与解析：B 细节理解题。根据前文和第六段中“Walking on the Great Wall for more than 30 years, William Lindesay found that the Great Wall had been increasingly damaged by natural weathering and man made destruction.”可知对长城的热爱和对目前长城被破坏的现状的忧心促使他把对长城的研究和保护作为一生的目标。
34．答案与解析：D 推理判断题。本题可以运用排除法。根据全文可知他是一个探险家；根据第七段可知他是中英两国文化交流的友好使者；根据文章倒数第二段他坚持捡垃圾可知他是一个环保主义者。D项“外交官”在文中并无体现。

DearJenny，
How is everything Recently, with the Chinese New Year approaching, an exhibition of Chinese paper cuttings will be held in our city library. Knowing that you are interested in traditional Chinese culture, I am writing to invite you to the exhibition.
Paper cutting is a Chinese folk art with a long history, dating back to the Northern and Southern Dynasties. Paper cuttings are not only used for home decoration, but for religious purposes and have been an important part of everyday life in China. As for the display itself, it will give you the chance to enjoy all kinds of beautiful paper cuttings. What's more, you can't miss the DIY part. I'm sure it's worth a visit.

He got to the boy first，and when he turned to the girl，he had to reach down into the water and catch her by the hair to pull her back up. Mike swam sideways out of the rip current into the clear water and started to bring them in. When I reached their mother，Mike was in waist deep water. These kids were so exhausted that they couldn't walk, so Mike was carrying them. He had got one under each arm. I turned to their mom and said，“Hey，it's gonna be OK. They're safe.” I saw the terror start to drain out of her.

I saw a new kind of panic wash over her as though there was some new, equally dangerous threat on her kids' lives because of the tattoos on Mike's arms. She rushed up to Mike, snatched her kids and left the beach without even a thank you. Mike just glanced at me, shrugged, and jogged back to his tower. As I jogged back to my tower，I promised myself that I would never let my own fear or prejudice prevent me from recognizing a hero only because I didn't see a friendly sign from his appearance.
