Ⅱ阅读 （共两节，满分50分）
第一节 阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Waldseilgarten is an adventure mountain holiday center in Germany that offers guests an exciting night in the wilderness. Sleeping at the top of a mountain, brave guests can spend the night hanging off the tree tops, or over a cliff (悬崖) face.
During the warmer months, the holiday center hosts adventure nights out. Guests can sleep in their own portaledges (掉帐), hanging several meters above the ground. A portaledge is a hanging tent system that is generally used by rock climbers on more than one day climbs. At Waldseilgarten, the tents are hung from thick branches of large free-standing trees, where guests can only ascend or descend with the help of ropes.
Guests that look for more air and an extreme camping experience can choose to sleep on an overhanging platform. It lies among huge cliffs between l,000 and 2,000 meters high. However, if that's just a little too extreme for you, the holiday center will also offer some easier sleeping choices. You can sleep on cliff platforms between 100 and 300 meters high, or on tree platforms hanging between trees. They are easy ways to go down to the ground at any time.
All guests that join in an adventure night out will receive rope (绳索) climbing training before spending a night in nature. Waldseilgarten seems to offer a camping experience you will surely remember. However, that experience doesn't come cheap. A night sleeping in the trees in a portaledge will cost $336 per person, while the cliff platforms will cost you $1,199. The cheapest choice is the tree platform, whose price is $168 per person per night.

The World Health Organization (WHO) says there has been a sharp increase in the number of children in developing countries who weigh too much. In African countries, the WHO says the number of overweight or obese (肥胖的) children is twice as large as it was 20 years ago. Around the world, about 43 million children under the age of five were overweight in 2011.
Overweight and obese children are more likely to become overweight and obese adults. The condition can generate serious health problems like diabetes, heart disease and stroke.
Francesco Branca is the director of the WHO Department of Nutrition for Health and Development. He says people are eating processed (加工的) food which contains much sugar, fat and salt. He also says people are gaining weight because of the urban lifestyle. They travel in vehicles more than on foot, and they are less physically active in general.
Experts say lowering obesity rates is especially complex (复杂的) in countries that also deal with higher rate of diseases. The WHO has some basic solutions. The organization advises people to lower their intake of fat, sugar, salt and processed food. It advises eating more fruit and vegetables and increasing physical activity. The WHO says these actions are especially important for children.
WHO experts say mothers should breastfeed their babies for at least the first six months of life if possible. WHO official Francesco Branca says the government should consider providing vitamins for children. He says government policies should deal with how food is marketed to children. Mr Branca says food producers must balance quality and taste with the dangers of sugar, fat and salt. He also says reducing the number of overweight children will not be easy. He says the goal is difficult to meet even in wealthy countries.
( ) 31. What is the main idea of Paragraph l?
A. Children in developing countries generally weigh too much.
B. People in developing countries have become less healthy than before.

a. their changes in diet
b. working harder than before

B. Babies who are breastfed by their mothers aren't likely to become overweight.

Medium is a new place on the Internet where people share ideas and stories that are longer than 140 characters. It is designed not just for friends but for little stories that make your day better and manifestos (宣言) that may change the world. It's used by everyone from reporters to cooks. It's simple, beautiful, collaborative (合作的), and it helps you find the right audience for whatever you have to say.
If you're here to read, start from the homepage, where you'll find links to interesting new articles, as well as the most popular pieces among readers right now. Of course you can leave notes for writers and the pieces you like.
If you're interested in writing, here are three things to know about how Medium is different.
Medium lets you focus on your words. Medium is a beautiful space for reading and writing. The words are central. They can go with pictures to help show your point. When you write on Medium, you'll know that your words and pictures will look great.
Medium is collaborative. On Medium, you're not alone. You can write with other people. This means your posts (贴子) link to each other. Instead of living on an island somewhere out on the web, you're part of a whole, where each part makes the others better. At the heart of Medium is the idea that people create better things together. Even great writers need editors, and Medium makes it easy to get help before you press the "Publish" button.
Medium helps you find your audience. Some posts get hundreds of thousands of readers – but not because they are written by famous people. Medium is not about who you are or whom you know, but about what you have to say.
( ) 36. What can people do on Medium?
A. They can chat with friends.
B. They can change the world.
C. They can share ideas and stories.
D. They can learn how to write a report.
( ) 37. If you are interested in some articles on Medium, you may ____.
A. leave notes for them
B. find the right readers
C. link them to other articles
D. tell them to editors or reporters

A. you can say whatever you want on Medium
B. people can work on good articles together on Medium
C. you should write your article on your own on Medium
D. people need to write articles with the help of editors on Medium
( ) 40. From the passage we can learn ____.

Jeannette Walls knows a thing or two about careless parents. In 2005, in the book of The Glass Castle, the author recalled (回想起) her poor childhood in the 1960s and 1970s with parents who suffered from mental illness and alcoholism (酗酒) among other sufferings. Walls followed her first success four years later with Half Broke Horses: A True – Life Novel, which mainly described the life of her grandmother. Now comes the novel The Silver Star, which, like her earlier two books, offers themes of determination and forgiveness.
In 1970, 12-year-old Jean Holladay (known as "Bean") and her 15-year-old sister, Liz, were living in a small Southern California town called Lost Lakes. Their single mother, Charlotte, who called herself a (n) singer, songwriter and actress, always insisted that "her big break was right around the corner." She felt very nervous and bored when staying in one place for too long and often suddenly announced to her daughters that it was time to pack and make a fresh start - even in the middle of the night.
But one day, Charlotte started her new trip without her girls, leaving behind a note about needing to "find the magic again". She gave them $200 to get by until she returned and ended her note by reminding them to clean their teeth. They wondered if they would ever see their mother again.
A character such as Charlotte might seem too silly or strange to be believable, but anyone who has read The Glass Castle, knows that this woman is not a character of pure invention (虚构). At least Liz and Bean have each other. The brave girls started cross-country for a small Virginia town called Byler, where they hoped to meet their mother's brother, Uncle Tinsley. When Liz and Bean took part-time jobs without telling their uncle, their troubles really began.
The Silver Star is a lovely, moving novel. Throughout, Walls expresses beautifully the close relationship between Bean and Liz.
( ) 41. We can learn from the first paragraph that ____.
A. The Glass Castle is Walls' second book
B. The Glass Castle brought Walls a lot of success
C. all Walls' books talked about the life of his grandmother
D. determination and forgiveness can be found in Walls' three books
( ) 42. Which word can best describe Walls' childhood?
A. Terrible.
B. Wonderful.
C. Unforgettable.
D. Exciting.
( ) 43. Why did Bean's mother leave her and her sister suddenly this time?
A. Because she didn't love her daughters any more.
B. Because she needed to learn something about magic to support her family.
C. Because she thought she had found another chance to realize her dream soon.
D. Because she had to leave home to make more money for her daughters.
( ) 44. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the last two paragraphs?
A. A character such as Charlotte is too silly to be believed.
B. The two sisters had no choice but to live by themselves.
C. The two sisters didn't want their uncle to know about their jobs.
D. The Silver Star is a book about the love between mother and daughter.
( ) 45. What's the writer's purpose in writing the passage?
A. To tell us that women can also write famous books.
B. To attract readers to buy an interesting book.
C. To introduce a new book to us.
D. To talk about relationships between mothers and daughters.

Looking back to the past one hundred years, you will see that science and technology have greatly changed our life. Nowadays, we couldn’t live without these scientific and technological products and inventions (发明).
Cars, for example, and other forms of modem transportation have greatly reduced our travel time. Without them, travelling would have been a real killer. The Internet and the phone represent big steps forward in the field of technology. Without the Internet, it would not have been possible for us to get the latest information so fast in every corner of the world. The phone has helped reduce or get rid of distances. Now, people living continents apart can often talk to one another from time to time. The mobile phone has enabled us to talk to someone no matter where we are. Emails have replaced the telegraph system.
As a result, what we can see is that we totally depend on these inventions and technologies now. Can you imagine living for a week or so without a phone or the Internet? It would be practically impossible for us. New technologies have replaced older ones and changed our life.

How to keep healthy has been a great concern for more and more people and the following are some suggestions you should do in your daily life.

In addition, you should also set aside some time for exercise like running or playing basketball as often as you can, which helps make your body stronger. Finally, keeping a good mood in your life is also very important because it contributes a lot to your health.
读写任务 (One possible version)
The author thinks we have greatly benefited (受益) from science and technology. He then sets some examples to show our close contact with the scientific and technological products in life.
I agree with the author. Without science and technology, it would be impossible for us to move a step forward. For example, the mobile phones play such an important role in our daily lives that it would be very difficult for us to live well without them.
　However, science and technology may also have disadvantages. There are too many cars now in the street, which causes many traffic accidents. The Internet also brings some information trash to our life.
　Even though every coin has two sides, I still think we must develop science and technology. There is no doubt that they will do more good than harm to us. Besides, scientists should try their best to work out ways to deal with the side effects.
测试题部分答案解析
完形填空
作者在加拿大学习所住的环境很不理想，人员繁杂，一栋楼公用一个洗衣店，意想不到的是，一个晚上他的衣服不知哪个好心人帮忙洗得干干净净，而且烘干了，让作者很感动。
1. C。根据下文可知，作者认为在这样一个环境，有人帮我的忙是一件“令人兴奋的”事情。 A项“可怕的”；B项“令人失望的”；D项“令人尴尬的”都不合适。
2. B。由下文的illegal things可知此处指代不好的事情，故选B，意为“暴力”。
3. B。由于作者居住在一个少数民族聚集的地方，所以非法和暴力事情经常“发生”。
4. D。根据后面的I don’t even know my neighbors’ names.可知大部分的人我“从来没有”遇到过。
5. A。由上文首句“in an old apartment”可知选A，指代住房“条件”。
6. B。根据前面的The dryers in the laundry room are old...可知，这个烘干机工作效率很低，因此“需要”不止一次才能烘干所有的衣服。
7. A。根据上下文联系可知此处表示“仅仅”，符合题意。 B项指“额外的”；C项指“差不多地”；D项指“几乎”。
8. D。由下句中的...be damp in the morning...可知答案为D。
9. A。根据上文烘干机旧了，不能正常地工作，所以衣服“依然”是湿的。

11. C。根据上句话描述的情况可知作者知道衣服会是湿的。expect“料想”。
12. D。由下文作者的衣服干净整齐的叠放在那里可知作者很“吃惊”。

语法填空
16. if。考查连词。作为条件状语从句，与后句or if you are preparing for...形成并列关系。
17. an。考查冠词。由于第一次提到单数可数名词exam，又以元音开头，所以填入冠词an。
18. in。考查介词。根据句意“使句子简单，用简短、清晰的句子来写。”可知应用介词in，表示“用，以”。
19. to make。考查非谓语动词。这里不定式短语to make作目的状语。该句意为：使用SVOMPT 语序以使其他人能更容易地理解你的意思。
20. easily。考查词性转化。这里形容词easy转化为副词easily，修饰动词understand。
21. likes。考查动词时态。根据句意“王先生喜欢晚上打网球。”这是一个习惯性的动作，故要用一般现在时态。
22. which。考查关系代词。在此，which引导非限制性定语从句，指代前面的整个句子。
23. about。考查介词。该句意为“注意名词的单复数形式及可数与不可数名词。”；be careful about sth 意为“注意，留意”。
24. you。考查人称代词。根据全篇文章都使用了祈使句，省略了主语you，故在此处应用第二人称代词you；you use作定语，修饰the verb endings，意思是：确保你所使用的动词词尾是正确的。
25. personal。考查词性转化。根据句子结构可知，and前后为两个并列成分，由形容词修饰名词，因此应该是person的形容词形式personal，修饰名词pronouns，意为“人称代词”。
