Adventure is in my blood. And I had been considering how I was going to celebrate my high school graduation. I didn’t just want a small 16 in the backyard. I started thinking about doing a solo 17 somewhere out of the ordinary. I took out 18 and drew the 1,500-mile route along which I would be 19 from the northernmost point in Norway to the southernmost section of Sweden. When I 20 my plans with my dad, he 21 as I thought he would. Because I get my adventurous 22 from him, he was all for it.
I had only been away from my 23 three days now, but there was an inner 24 going on inside of me. Part of me was homesick and doubting whether I 25 could make it. The other part of me was ready to 26 to myself and my family that I could do it by myself.
On the road, I met another 27 who was quite a bit older than I was. He had started his journey 28 by bike at the southern part of Norway and had just finished. I could tell he had a great sense of 29 . It encouraged me not to 30 .
As I listened to my 31 artists on my MP4 player, I pedaled (踩踏板) with my feet. There was 32 around me for miles. 33 , that wasn’t entirely true. There were mosquitoes--- millions of them.

Bicycle Safety
Operation Always ride your bike in a safe, controlled manner on campus(校园). Obey rules and regulations. Watch out for walkers and other bicyclists, and always use your lights in dark conditions.
Theft Prevention Always securely lock your bicycle to a bicycle rack---even if you are only away for a minute. Register your bike with the University Department of Public Safety. It’s fast, easy, and free. Registration permanently records your serial number, which is useful in the possible recovery of the bike stolen.
Equipment
Brakes Make sure that they are in good working order and adjusted properly.
Helmet A necessity, make sure your helmet meets current safety standards and fit properly.
Lights Always have a front headlight---visible at least 500 feet in front of the bike. A taillight is a good idea.
Rules of the Road
Riding on Campus As a bicycle rider, you have a responsibility to ride only on streets and posted bicycle paths. Riding on sidewalks or other walkways can lead to a fine.

If you are involved in an accident, you are required to offer appropriate aid, call the Department of Public Safety and remain at the scene until the officer lets you go.
Bicycle Parking Only park in areas reserved for bikes. Trees, handrails, hallways, and sign posts are not for bicycle parking, and parking in such posts can result in a fine.
If Things Go Wrong

石家庄市第一中学2013—2014学年度第一学期期末考试高二年级英语试题
Beginning college is exciting: new ideas to explore, new challenges to be met and many decisions to be made; your future begins here.
However, you will find college life is different from your previous school environment. Many of us can be easily defeated by the details of running a well-balanced life. While some of us may have the know-how, I guess there are more of us who can benefit from learning about the experiences of others who have walked the college halls before you.
The following you may find useful about life on campus:
? Plan well. There are so many new things to do at a new college or university. Give yourself time to make new friends and became familiar with the campus, but don’t forget why you are there. Give some time for social activities and manage your time wisely.
? If you don’t have a “system” for planning your time now (like a day timer, a puter data book), get one. Most of all, don’t depend on your memory.
? Don’t miss the guidelines. The restrictions, rules and regulations of all kinds can usually be found in your student’s handbook. Consider them well-balanced food for thought. What dates are important? What pieces of paper need to be handed in? What can / can’t you do in your student residence（住处）? Who has the right for what? What do you need to plete to graduate?
? Write the word “STUDY” on the walls of your bedroom and bathroom, and maybe it will help to write it on a piece of paper and stick it on the telephone, TV and the kitchen table. Consider this — you are paying thousands of dollars for your course. You pay every time you have to repeat or replace a course.
? Build your identity. This is the time for you to decide what to do and what not to do. Take as much time as you need to explore new ideas. Do not be afraid of the beyond. This is learning to make good choices.
40. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To offer advice on college life.
B. To explain why college life is exciting.
C. To describe the importance of college life.
D. To persuade you to go to college.
41. According to the passage, why is it exciting to begin college life?
A. Because you will have more freedom at college.
B. Because you will no longer be afraid of the beyond.
C. Because you prepare for your future career and life there.
D. Because professors there will provide you with many new ideas.
42. The underlined word “know-how” refers to _________.
A. an understanding of college munities
B. practical knowledge concerning college life
C. college halls where rules and regulations are presented
D. an environment pletely different from the one you’re used to
43. According to the passage, college students _________.
A. needn’t learn from those who went to college before them
B. should spend as much time as possible on social activities
C. should know what they have rights for on campus
D. are supposed to repeat or replace at least one course
C
(湖北省武汉市部分重点中学2013-2014学年高二上学期期末考试)
In the United States, the lonely have Reddit and cats. In China, they have Singles' Day, which falls on Nov. 11 -- 11.11, the four ones symbolizing "bare branches," Chinese slang for bachelors. Thought to have originated about 20 years ago as a joke on college campuses, Singles' Day was once an occasion for confessing one's feelings to that special someone. But since 2010, online retailers have transformed the holiday, also known as "Double 11," into an epic online shopping extravaganza（盛会）alike to America's Cyber Monday.
Jack Ma, founder of Internet giant Alibaba, told Chinese Premier Li Keqiang late last month that Alibaba's sales on Singles' Day 2012 were "nearly $3.3 billion" -- more than double the roughly $1.5 billion purchased on Cyber Monday in 2012. For Singles' Day 2013, Ma expects sales to exceed $4.9 billion.
The rise of singletons as a consumer group is not without its own costs. Chinese business magazine Caijing reported that big delivery companies were forced to scramble to find over 100 extra airplanes to handle the 323 million parcels they needed to deliver over the Singles' Day shopping period.
The holiday strains the logistics system: Products frequently sell out or arrive late. Even when everything moves smoothly, consumers complain about commercial gimmicks (花招). According to the Beijing Evening News, a popular local paper, some online retailers quietly raise prices before slashing them.
Chinese are no strangers to loneliness: There are tens of millions of men in China who may never find love due to the country's massive gender imbalance, a result of the One Child Policy and a longstanding preference for male children. Chinese women don't have it easy either: Those who remain unmarried at the ripe old age of 27 risk being labeled "leftover women".
Although poverty and singledom are often linked outcomes in China, at least one web user was sure of which was worse. "Spending Singles' Day alone isn't that scary," he wrote. "What's scary is when you're so poor you can't even enjoy Taobao's ‘Double 11.'"
44. What can we infer about America's Cyber Monday from the text?
A. It is a day for the singles in America.
B. It is celebrated every Monday by the Americans.
C. It is an online shopping day for the Americans.
D. It doubled the sales of Alibaba's on Singles' Day 2012.
45. What is the main idea of paragraphs 3 and 4?
A. Extra airplanes are needed to deliver the Day’s shopping.
B. Products are arriving late.
C. Customers are complaining about the Day.
D. Cost is high for consumers on that day.
46. What can we know from the last two paragraphs?
A. Being poor means being single for a lifetime.
B. Many Chinese men are single because of gender imbalance.
C. Being single is even worse than being poor in China.
D. There are more singled female than singled male in China.
47. What can we conclude about Singles' Day from the text?
A. All online retailers will raise prices before slashing them.
B. Jack Ma first founded the festival.
C. Its original meaning is to confess one’s feeling to a boy or girl.
D. The sales for Singles' Day 2013 is over $4.9 billion.
D.
(宁夏省银川一中2013-2014学年高二上学期期末考试)
In Antarctica，when the long dark winter gives way to spring, ice begins to melt, and the sun stays in the sky all night long.
Into this brightly lit world, the large gray head of a Weddell seal(韦德尔海豹)appears through a crack in the ice. The seal takes several deep breaths, and then she opens her mouth, turning her head from side to side. With her teeth, she gets rid of bits of ice. Seals are mammals, and they need to breathe air, for which Weddell seals use their teeth to make sure their breathing holes stay open.
The seal makes the hole bigger, and when she can fit her large body through it, she jumps out onto the ice—she is getting ready to have a baby. On the ice shelf, the Weddell seal gives birth to a pup(小海豹).The pup is about three feet long and is covered with thick fur that protects it from the cold wind. The pup drinks its mother’s milk and grows quickly. Within a few weeks, it is more than six feet long. Under the seal’s skin is a thick layer of fat called blubber, which keeps the seal warm in its frozen world.
When the pup is about two weeks old, it begins to dive with its mother. They slide through the breathing hole into the water below the ice, where the pup learns to swim, diving deeper and deeper. In order to stay underwater, it must learn to hold its breath and control its heart rate.
Below the ice, the sun shines brightly through the hole. Finding the opening to breathe is easy, but getting back onto the slippery ice can be difficult for a young seal. With practice and its mother’s help, the pup soon feels at home both on the ice and under it.
The young seal spends more and more time below the ice, where it learns to hunt for food. When the pup is about two months old, it will have to feed itself independently. When the pup becomes an adult, it will swim farther out in search of food, but it will always live on or under the ice.
48 Paragraph 2 is mainly about_________.
A. the fun_ction of Weddell seals’ teeth
B. the living conditions of Weddell seals
C. how Weddell seals move under the ice
D. how Weddell seals keep their breathing holes open
49. According to Paragraph 3 ,the pup __________.
A. grows slowly B. is born in winter
C. is born under the sea D. is covered with thick fur
50. The pup begins learning to swim and dive when it is about ________
A. two days old B. two weeks old
C. two months old D. two years old
51. For a young Weddell seal,___________.
A. its father’s help is important
B. getting onto the ice shelf is easy
C. finding the breathing hole is easy
D. learning to hunt for food is unnecessary
E
Can you imagine what it was like when there were no phones and no Internet? Compared to what it was like back then, life is absolutely better now thanks to technology. And hopefully, it will continue to improve.
This is the focus of a new book, The New Digital Age, by Eric Schmidt, chairman of Google, and his colleague Jared Cohen. In the book, as reported by PBS News, the authors introduce technological developments that are probable 20 years from now, including self-driving cars, wider Internet coverage and robots that take care of all your housework.
However, Schmidt and Cohen also note the potential dark side of the high-tech age. For one, there will be easy access to all sorts of information online. In fact, the two young men responsible for the Boston bombings (爆炸）last month managed to create bombs thanks to the Internet.
When we are all connected, privacy is also going to be a problem. In a sense, the photos and comments we put online, the things we buy and the friends we have on our micro blog (微博）will be what makes us who we are. “Your online identity becomes your real identity,” Schmidt told The Guardian.
But in spite of the drawbacks, Schmidt and Cohen still believe that the digital age is mostly a good thing. In the past 20 years, computers have gone from being quite impossible to being very useful for many tasks. New mobile phones and tablets (平板电脑）are far more powerful than anything that came out before them, and that’s going to continue.
“There’s no country where the situation has worsened with the arrival of the Internet,” Schmidt said.
52.The book The New Digital Age is mainly about .
what life is like without phones and Internet connection
how incidents like the Boston bombings can be avoideid
the problem of privacy when the New Digital Age comes
the technology that might come into existence in two decades
53.The underlined word “drawbacks” in the last paragraph but one means .
A. conflicts B. conveniences C. disadvantages D. advantages
54.Why were the two men able to carry out the Boston bombings?
They learned how to make bombing tools online.
They read the information in books and got the idea.
It was easy for them to take a training course.
It was easy for them to buy bombs in Boston.
55.What’s the attitude of the book’s authors to the high-tech age?
A. Casual. B. Positive. C. Doubtful. D. Negative.

How to see yourself objectively
Looking at ourselves objectively isn’t easy. 71 Here are some tricks I use to get a more accurate picture of myself.
Look up, not down. It’s always easy to make yourself look good by finding people even worse than you. Yes, we agree, you’re not the worst person in the world. That’s not the question. The question is whether you can get better. 72
Criticize yourself. 73 If they’re right to be afraid, then you need to start by working on that. People will feel more comfortable telling you the truth if you start by criticizing yourself, showing them that it’s OK.
Find honest friends. It’s important to find friends who you can trust to tell you the cruel truths about yourself. 74 Some people have had success providing an anonymous(匿名的) form for friends to write down their objective opinions.
75 Since it’s so difficult to find friends who will honestly criticize you, you need to listen extra-carefully when they do. For example, if one friend says the short story you wrote isn’t very good, you might show it to some other friends and ask them what they think .Wow, they all think it’s great! But the fact is that most of your friends are going to say it’s great because they’re your friends. By just taking their word for it, you end up ignoring the one person who’s actually being honest with you.
A. Take the outside view.
B. Listen to the criticism.
C. Be willing to believe the worst about yourself.
D. But it’s necessary if we ever want to get better.
E. This is really hard because most people don’t like telling cruel truths.
F. And to do that you need to look at the people who are even better than you.
G. The main reason people don’t tell you what they really think of you is that they’re afraid of your reaction.

In response to the call of the first National Traffic Safety Day , our school especially held an important theme class meeting . The aim is to make the whole students attach very importance to the traffic safety and at the same time to get rid of uncivilized behaviors when they are facing the heavy traffic every day .
In my opinion , I think the activity held is not only very essential ,but also is extremely in time , especially for those students who ignore their own life value of existence .Only when we each citizen obey the traffic rules automatically ,enhance the awareness of necessity and importance of the traffic safety , focus our attention on cherishing life and take responsibility for our family ,in the meantime , try our best to say goodbye to the uncivilized behaviors ,can we live each other in a better beautiful and harmonious society.

Theft Prevention Always securely lock your bicycle to a bicycle rack---even if you are only away for a minute. Register your bike with the University Department of Public Safety. It’s fast, easy, and free. Registration permanently records your serial number, which is useful in the possible recovery of the bike stolen.
Equipment
Brakes Make sure that they are in good working order and adjusted properly.
Helmet A necessity, make sure your helmet meets current safety standards and fit properly.
Lights Always have a front headlight---visible at least 500 feet in front of the bike. A taillight is a good idea.

石家庄市第一中学2013—2014学年度第一学期期末考试高二年级英语试题
Beginning college is exciting: new ideas to explore, new challenges to be met and many decisions to be made; your future begins here.
However, you will find college life is different from your previous school environment. Many of us can be easily defeated by the details of running a well-balanced life. While some of us may have the know-how, I guess there are more of us who can benefit from learning about the experiences of others who have walked the college halls before you.
The following you may find useful about life on campus:
? Plan well. There are so many new things to do at a new college or university. Give yourself time to make new friends and became familiar with the campus, but don’t forget why you are there. Give some time for social activities and manage your time wisely.
? If you don’t have a “system” for planning your time now (like a day timer, a puter data book), get one. Most of all, don’t depend on your memory.
? Don’t miss the guidelines. The restrictions, rules and regulations of all kinds can usually be found in your student’s handbook. Consider them well-balanced food for thought. What dates are important? What pieces of paper need to be handed in? What can / can’t you do in your student residence（住处）? Who has the right for what? What do you need to plete to graduate?
? Write the word “STUDY” on the walls of your bedroom and bathroom, and maybe it will help to write it on a piece of paper and stick it on the telephone, TV and the kitchen table. Consider this — you are paying thousands of dollars for your course. You pay every time you have to repeat or replace a course.
? Build your identity. This is the time for you to decide what to do and what not to do. Take as much time as you need to explore new ideas. Do not be afraid of the beyond. This is learning to make good choices.
40. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To offer advice on college life.
B. To explain why college life is exciting.
C. To describe the importance of college life.
D. To persuade you to go to college.
41. According to the passage, why is it exciting to begin college life?
A. Because you will have more freedom at college.
B. Because you will no longer be afraid of the beyond.
C. Because you prepare for your future career and life there.
D. Because professors there will provide you with many new ideas.
42. The underlined word “know-how” refers to _________.
A. an understanding of college munities
B. practical knowledge concerning college life
C. college halls where rules and regulations are presented
D. an environment pletely different from the one you’re used to
43. According to the passage, college students _________.
A. needn’t learn from those who went to college before them
B. should spend as much time as possible on social activities
C. should know what they have rights for on campus
D. are supposed to repeat or replace at least one course
C

In the United States, the lonely have Reddit and cats. In China, they have Singles' Day, which falls on Nov. 11 -- 11.11, the four ones symbolizing "bare branches," Chinese slang for bachelors. Thought to have originated about 20 years ago as a joke on college campuses, Singles' Day was once an occasion for confessing one's feelings to that special someone. But since 2010, online retailers have transformed the holiday, also known as "Double 11," into an epic online shopping extravaganza（盛会）alike to America's Cyber Monday.
Jack Ma, founder of Internet giant Alibaba, told Chinese Premier Li Keqiang late last month that Alibaba's sales on Singles' Day 2012 were "nearly $3.3 billion" -- more than double the roughly $1.5 billion purchased on Cyber Monday in 2012. For Singles' Day 2013, Ma expects sales to exceed $4.9 billion.
The rise of singletons as a consumer group is not without its own costs. Chinese business magazine Caijing reported that big delivery companies were forced to scramble to find over 100 extra airplanes to handle the 323 million parcels they needed to deliver over the Singles' Day shopping period.
The holiday strains the logistics system: Products frequently sell out or arrive late. Even when everything moves smoothly, consumers complain about commercial gimmicks (花招). According to the Beijing Evening News, a popular local paper, some online retailers quietly raise prices before slashing them.
Chinese are no strangers to loneliness: There are tens of millions of men in China who may never find love due to the country's massive gender imbalance, a result of the One Child Policy and a longstanding preference for male children. Chinese women don't have it easy either: Those who remain unmarried at the ripe old age of 27 risk being labeled "leftover women".
Although poverty and singledom are often linked outcomes in China, at least one web user was sure of which was worse. "Spending Singles' Day alone isn't that scary," he wrote. "What's scary is when you're so poor you can't even enjoy Taobao's ‘Double 11.'"
44. What can we infer about America's Cyber Monday from the text?
A. It is a day for the singles in America.
B. It is celebrated every Monday by the Americans.
C. It is an online shopping day for the Americans.
D. It doubled the sales of Alibaba's on Singles' Day 2012.
45. What is the main idea of paragraphs 3 and 4?
A. Extra airplanes are needed to deliver the Day’s shopping.
B. Products are arriving late.
C. Customers are complaining about the Day.
D. Cost is high for consumers on that day.
46. What can we know from the last two paragraphs?
A. Being poor means being single for a lifetime.
B. Many Chinese men are single because of gender imbalance.
C. Being single is even worse than being poor in China.
D. There are more singled female than singled male in China.
47. What can we conclude about Singles' Day from the text?
A. All online retailers will raise prices before slashing them.
B. Jack Ma first founded the festival.
C. Its original meaning is to confess one’s feeling to a boy or girl.
D. The sales for Singles' Day 2013 is over $4.9 billion.

In Antarctica，when the long dark winter gives way to spring, ice begins to melt, and the sun stays in the sky all night long.
Into this brightly lit world, the large gray head of a Weddell seal(韦德尔海豹)appears through a crack in the ice. The seal takes several deep breaths, and then she opens her mouth, turning her head from side to side. With her teeth, she gets rid of bits of ice. Seals are mammals, and they need to breathe air, for which Weddell seals use their teeth to make sure their breathing holes stay open.
The seal makes the hole bigger, and when she can fit her large body through it, she jumps out onto the ice—she is getting ready to have a baby. On the ice shelf, the Weddell seal gives birth to a pup(小海豹).The pup is about three feet long and is covered with thick fur that protects it from the cold wind. The pup drinks its mother’s milk and grows quickly. Within a few weeks, it is more than six feet long. Under the seal’s skin is a thick layer of fat called blubber, which keeps the seal warm in its frozen world.
When the pup is about two weeks old, it begins to dive with its mother. They slide through the breathing hole into the water below the ice, where the pup learns to swim, diving deeper and deeper. In order to stay underwater, it must learn to hold its breath and control its heart rate.
Below the ice, the sun shines brightly through the hole. Finding the opening to breathe is easy, but getting back onto the slippery ice can be difficult for a young seal. With practice and its mother’s help, the pup soon feels at home both on the ice and under it.
The young seal spends more and more time below the ice, where it learns to hunt for food. When the pup is about two months old, it will have to feed itself independently. When the pup becomes an adult, it will swim farther out in search of food, but it will always live on or under the ice.
48 Paragraph 2 is mainly about_________.
A. the fun_ction of Weddell seals’ teeth
B. the living conditions of Weddell seals
C. how Weddell seals move under the ice
D. how Weddell seals keep their breathing holes open
49. According to Paragraph 3 ,the pup __________.
A. grows slowly B. is born in winter
C. is born under the sea D. is covered with thick fur
50. The pup begins learning to swim and dive when it is about ________
A. two days old B. two weeks old
C. two months old D. two years old
51. For a young Weddell seal,___________.
A. its father’s help is important
B. getting onto the ice shelf is easy
C. finding the breathing hole is easy
D. learning to hunt for food is unnecessary

Can you imagine what it was like when there were no phones and no Internet? Compared to what it was like back then, life is absolutely better now thanks to technology. And hopefully, it will continue to improve.
This is the focus of a new book, The New Digital Age, by Eric Schmidt, chairman of Google, and his colleague Jared Cohen. In the book, as reported by PBS News, the authors introduce technological developments that are probable 20 years from now, including self-driving cars, wider Internet coverage and robots that take care of all your housework.
However, Schmidt and Cohen also note the potential dark side of the high-tech age. For one, there will be easy access to all sorts of information online. In fact, the two young men responsible for the Boston bombings (爆炸）last month managed to create bombs thanks to the Internet.
When we are all connected, privacy is also going to be a problem. In a sense, the photos and comments we put online, the things we buy and the friends we have on our micro blog (微博）will be what makes us who we are. “Your online identity becomes your real identity,” Schmidt told The Guardian.
But in spite of the drawbacks, Schmidt and Cohen still believe that the digital age is mostly a good thing. In the past 20 years, computers have gone from being quite impossible to being very useful for many tasks. New mobile phones and tablets (平板电脑）are far more powerful than anything that came out before them, and that’s going to continue.
“There’s no country where the situation has worsened with the arrival of the Internet,” Schmidt said.
52.The book The New Digital Age is mainly about .
what life is like without phones and Internet connection
how incidents like the Boston bombings can be avoideid
the problem of privacy when the New Digital Age comes
the technology that might come into existence in two decades
53.The underlined word “drawbacks” in the last paragraph but one means .
A. conflicts B. conveniences C. disadvantages D. advantages
54.Why were the two men able to carry out the Boston bombings?
They learned how to make bombing tools online.
They read the information in books and got the idea.
It was easy for them to take a training course.
It was easy for them to buy bombs in Boston.
55.What’s the attitude of the book’s authors to the high-tech age?
A. Casual. B. Positive. C. Doubtful. D. Negative.

How to see yourself objectively
Looking at ourselves objectively isn’t easy. 71 Here are some tricks I use to get a more accurate picture of myself.
Look up, not down. It’s always easy to make yourself look good by finding people even worse than you. Yes, we agree, you’re not the worst person in the world. That’s not the question. The question is whether you can get better. 72
Criticize yourself. 73 If they’re right to be afraid, then you need to start by working on that. People will feel more comfortable telling you the truth if you start by criticizing yourself, showing them that it’s OK.
Find honest friends. It’s important to find friends who you can trust to tell you the cruel truths about yourself. 74 Some people have had success providing an anonymous(匿名的) form for friends to write down their objective opinions.
75 Since it’s so difficult to find friends who will honestly criticize you, you need to listen extra-carefully when they do. For example, if one friend says the short story you wrote isn’t very good, you might show it to some other friends and ask them what they think .Wow, they all think it’s great! But the fact is that most of your friends are going to say it’s great because they’re your friends. By just taking their word for it, you end up ignoring the one person who’s actually being honest with you.
A. Take the outside view.
B. Listen to the criticism.
C. Be willing to believe the worst about yourself.
D. But it’s necessary if we ever want to get better.
E. This is really hard because most people don’t like telling cruel truths.
F. And to do that you need to look at the people who are even better than you.
G. The main reason people don’t tell you what they really think of you is that they’re afraid of your reaction.

In response to the call of the first National Traffic Safety Day , our school especially held an important theme class meeting . The aim is to make the whole students attach very importance to the traffic safety and at the same time to get rid of uncivilized behaviors when they are facing the heavy traffic every day .
In my opinion , I think the activity held is not only very essential ,but also is extremely in time , especially for those students who ignore their own life value of existence .Only when we each citizen obey the traffic rules automatically ,enhance the awareness of necessity and importance of the traffic safety , focus our attention on cherishing life and take responsibility for our family ,in the meantime , try our best to say goodbye to the uncivilized behaviors ,can we live each other in a better beautiful and harmonious society.
