Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
This journey began this morning almost an hour later than I had planned, although I had completed my packing before eight o'clock. I was quite clear about the fact that once I left, my house would stand empty for probably the first time since the day it was built. It was a strange feeling and perhaps explains why I was leaving so late, walking around the house many times over, checking one last time to see that all was in order.
It is hard to explain my feelings once I did finally set off. As I drove further and further from the house, I found the surroundings (周围的事物) grow unrecognizable. I began to have a feeling of unease mixed with excitement. I took a turning and found myself on a road circling the edge of a hill. I could sense the steep (陡峭的)drop to my left. I felt a sense of alarm that I was perhaps not on the correct road at all, but speeding off in the wrong direction into a wilderness. It was only the feeling of a moment, but it caused me to slow down. And even when I was sure I was on the right road, I felt forced to stop the car a moment to think carefully.
I decided to step out and stretch (伸展) my legs a little. On the one side of the road, thickets and small trees rose sharply, while on the other I could now see the distant countryside and a town nearby.
I walked a little way along the roadside, when I heard a voice behind me. Until this point I had believed myself quite alone and I turned in some surprise. Sitting on the large stone was a thin, white haired man. He called to me again and signaled me to join him. For a moment, I took him for a homeless man, but then I saw he was just some local man enjoying the fresh air and summer sunshine, and saw no reason not to do so.
1．Why did the author set off later than planned
A．He repeatedly checked the house.
B．He was feeling sad about leaving the house.
C．Packing his belongings took longer than expected.
D．There was no one to help him get everything ready.
2．What caused the author to start driving more slowly
A．The road had become steep.
B．He realized he was driving too fast.
C．The beautiful scenery attracted him.
D．He suddenly feared that he might get lost.
3．When the author walked out of his car, he ________.
A．didn't expect to see anyone
B．didn't want to speak to anybody
C．didn't know there was a town nearby
D．couldn't see anything because of the trees
4．What was the author's attitude to his trip
A．He just wanted to finish it.
B．He felt unable to continue it.
C．He regretted having started it.
D．He had mixed feelings about it.
B
Road traffic crashes kill 1.25 million people each year worldwide. The statistics (统计数字) are part of the “Global Status Report on Road Safety 2016”. The report surveyed 180 countries, and it shows the number of annual deaths from traffic crashes is stabilizing (稳定). And that is good news as the number of motor vehicles grows worldwide. But the data also show that road crashes are the No.1 cause of death among young people aged 15 to 29. Young adults around the world are the worst driving risks. Even in the US, drivers aged 15 to 24 account for about 30 percent of all driving related accidents. But the World Health Organization (WHO) says they are preventable.
The WHO report also finds a big gap in road safety and deaths between poor and rich countries. Poor countries have only 54 percent of the world's vehicles. But those countries have some of the worst safety statistics in the report. “Africa has only two percent of the world's vehicles, but has the highest death rate on the road，” says Etienne Krug, the head of the WHO Department of Non communicable Diseases. Sweden, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom are leaders in preventing traffic deaths.
Stronger road safety laws and stricter vehicle safety requirements in developing countries would prevent many accidents. Laws can quickly influence driving behavior. In only three years, 17 countries became safer by putting tougher road safety laws into effect. Some of those laws include banning drunk driving, requiring cyclists and motorcycle drivers to wear helmets (头盔) and making safety belts mandatory (强制性的) in all vehicles. Good injury care after a crash can cut the number of deaths from road injuries in half. Of course, there are also many other ways to make roads safer.
5．The underlined word “they” in Paragraph 1 probably refers to______.
A．motor vehicles B．the statistics
C．traffic crashes D．young drivers
6．What can be inferred from Paragraph 2
A．People in developed countries are very skilled at driving.
B．Africa has to take some measures to prevent traffic deaths.
C．The Netherlands has done the best in avoiding traffic accidents.
D．Poor countries need to buy fewer cars to reduce traffic accidents.
7．What is most likely to be talked about in the paragraph following the text
A．More ways to make roads safer.
B．Suggestions on good injury care.
C．The number of deaths from accidents.
D．Other road safety laws in poor countries.
8．The text is mainly about ________.
A．the danger of driving alone
B．the No.1 killer among the youth
C．the ways to avoid road accidents
D．the importance of helmets in driving cars

Ⅰ.阅读七选五
A
A camping trip can be a pleasant way to see the great outdoors. __1__ Whether camping near a large city, in a forest, in the mountains, or near a windswept beach, a successful camping trip is always dependent upon the planning beforehand.
The first consideration in planning any camping trip is the weather. __2__ When planning your trip, always check weather forecasts a few days before you leave.
Clothing for camping is largely dependent on the weather, but even in the summer it is wise to bring clothing for both hot and cold temperatures. __3__
Whatever you choose for shelter, make sure you know how to use it properly and see that it keeps the rain off your sleeping area. Do remember that the sleeping bag you choose should fit the season.
__4__ Bring along a first aid kit (急救箱) and go over any safety rules with everyone in your party. Bring a cell phone in case of an emergency (紧急情况). Keep it turned off if you prefer, but it will be there if necessary. At least, have an emergency back up plan. __5__ Tell them where you will be and when to expect you back, and make sure everyone in the party knows what to do and where to go if there is an injury or if someone gets lost.
A．Bring whatever food is pleasing to you.
B．Safety is important on every camping trip.
C．Leave information at home or with friends.
D．Bring a few more clothes than you need and plenty of socks.
E．Every camping trip requires a checklist of things to bring along.
F．It's also a wonderful chance for families and friends to spend time together.
G．Most people camp during the summer months when the air is warm and inviting.
B
Life is like a road. There are long and short roads; smooth and rocky roads; crooked and straight paths.
__6__There are roads to happiness as there are roads to sadness, roads toward victory and jubilation (快乐), and roads leading to defeat and disappointment.
__7__There are no guarantees. This is one of the most important things you need to realize about life.
Nobody said that choosing to do the right thing all the time would always lead you to happiness. Loving someone with all your heart does not guarantee that it would be returned. Gaining fame and fortune does not guarantee happiness. Accepting a good word from an influential superior to cut your trip short up the career ladder is not always bad, especially if you are highly qualified and competent. There are too many possible outcomes, which you really cannot control.__8__Since life offers no guarantee and you would never know that your decision would be wrong until you have made it, then you might as well take the risk and decide. It is definitely better than keeping yourself in limbo (中间状态)．__9___It is all a matter of perspective. You have the choice between being a lost traveler or an accidental tourist of life. But take caution that you do not make decisions haphazardly (随意地). __10__
A．But do not regret it whatever the outcome.
B．Taking risks is not about being careless and stupid.
C．You do not really know where a road will lead you until you take it.
D．In our life many roads would come our way as we journey through life.
E．Now that you have made a decision, be ready to face its consequences: good and bad.
F．The only thing you have power over is the decisions that you will make, and how you would act and react to different situations.
G．Although it is true that one wrong turn could get you lost, it could also be that such a turn could be an opportunity for an adventure, moreover, open more roads.

A
This journey began this morning almost an hour later than I had planned, although I had completed my packing before eight o'clock. I was quite clear about the fact that once I left, my house would stand empty for probably the first time since the day it was built. It was a strange feeling and perhaps explains why I was leaving so late, walking around the house many times over, checking one last time to see that all was in order.
It is hard to explain my feelings once I did finally set off. As I drove further and further from the house, I found the surroundings (周围的事物) grow unrecognizable. I began to have a feeling of unease mixed with excitement. I took a turning and found myself on a road circling the edge of a hill. I could sense the steep (陡峭的)drop to my left. I felt a sense of alarm that I was perhaps not on the correct road at all, but speeding off in the wrong direction into a wilderness. It was only the feeling of a moment, but it caused me to slow down. And even when I was sure I was on the right road, I felt forced to stop the car a moment to think carefully.
I decided to step out and stretch (伸展) my legs a little. On the one side of the road, thickets and small trees rose sharply, while on the other I could now see the distant countryside and a town nearby.
I walked a little way along the roadside, when I heard a voice behind me. Until this point I had believed myself quite alone and I turned in some surprise. Sitting on the large stone was a thin, white haired man. He called to me again and signaled me to join him.

__7__There are no guarantees. This is one of the most important things you need to realize about life.
Nobody said that choosing to do the right thing all the time would always lead you to happiness. Loving someone with all your heart does not guarantee that it would be returned.

语篇解读：在我们的生活中，我们会遇到许多不同的道路。尽管一次错误的拐弯可能会让你迷路，但是这样的一次拐弯有可能是一次冒险的机会，进而可能开辟出更多的道路。
6．选D 后一句说到“有通往快乐的道路，也有通往悲伤的道路；有通往成功和快乐的道路，也有通往失败和失望的道路”，由此可以推测出设空处很可能会说“在我们的生活中，当我们度过人生之旅时，我们会遇到许多不同的道路”。故选D项。
7．选C 后一句说到“没有任何保证”，由此可以推测出设空处很可能会说“直到你选择了一条道路，你才能真正地知道它将把你带到何处”。故选C项。
8．选F 前一句说到“有太多可能的结果你是真的没有办法控制”，由此可以推测，设空处很可能会说“你唯一能掌控的是你将要做的决定，以及你将如何应对不同的情况”。故选F项。
9．选G 上文说到“如果不做出决定你不可能知道你的决定正确与否，所以你不妨冒险做出决定 ，这一定比让自己处于中间状态更好”，由此可以推测出设空处很可能会说“尽管一次错误的拐弯可能会让你迷路，但是它还有可能是一次冒险的机会，进而可能开辟出更多的道路”。故选G项。
10．选B 前一句说到“但是你要小心，不要随意地做出决定 ”，由此可以推测出设空处很可能会说“冒险不等同于粗心和愚蠢”。故选B项。

语篇解读：本文讲述了作者在做兼职工作时，在凌晨2点发现一辆轿车起火了。在危急关头，作者挺身而出，主动去灭火。最终，火被扑灭了，作者也赢得了掌声。
1．has passed 根据时间标志词since可知本题应用现在完成时。
2．whose 分析句式结构可知，“a friend”是先行词，设空处引导定语从句，且在从句中作定语，故应用关系代词whose。
3．whether/if 分析句式可知本题是考查宾语从句的连接词，此处表示“是否”，故填whether/if。
4．their 修饰名词hotels应用形容词性物主代词，故填their。
5．dangerous 前面的looked是系动词，后面应用形容词作表语。dangerous是形容词，意为“危险的”。
6．instantly 句意：那时我立即从宾馆拿了一个灭火器，冲出去灭火。修饰动词短语“picked up”应用副词，instantly意为“立即，马上”。
7．In in the meantime/meanwhile是固定短语，意为“在此期间，与此同时”。故填介词In。
8．holding 句意：与此同时，车主拉尔夫拿着另一个灭火器，也和我一起灭火。分析句式结构可知，设空处的逻辑主语是Ralph，且与其逻辑主语之间为主动关系，故应用现在分词作状语。
9．controlled 句意：五分钟之内，我们就控制了局势，火被扑灭了。此处为“have＋宾语＋宾语补足语”结构，situation和control之间是被动关系，故应用过去分词作宾语补足语。
10．vehicles 句意：想象一下，如果停车场里的其他车辆也着火了，情况会多么糟糕呀。vehicle是可数名词，再根据设空处前的other可知本空应用复数形式。故填vehicles。
