Cities usually have a good reason for being where they are, like a nearby port or river. People settle in these places because they are easy to get to and naturally suited to communications and trade. New York City, for example, is near a large harbour at the mouth of the Hudson River. Over 300 years its population grew gradually from 800 people to 8 million. But not all cities develop slowly over a long period of time. Boom towns grow from nothing almost overnight. In 1896，Dawson, Canada, was unmapped wilderness(荒野）. But gold was discovered there in 1897，and two years later，it was one of the largest cities in the West, with a population of 30,000.
Dawson did not have any of the natural conveniences of cities like London or Paris. People went there for gold. They travelled over snow-covered mountains and sailed hundreds of miles up icy rivers. The path to Dawson was covered with thirty feet of wet snow that could fall without warning. An avalanche (雪崩）once closed the path，killing 63 people. For many who made it to Dawson, however, the rewards were worth the difficult trip. Of the first 20,000 people who dug for gold, 4,000 got rich. About 100 of these stayed rich men for the rest of their lives.
But no matter how rich they were, Dawson was never comfortable. Necessities like food and wood were very expensive. But soon, the gold that Dawson depended on had all been found. The city was crowded with disappointed people with no interest in settling down, and when they heard there were new gold discoveries in Alaska, they left Dawson City as quickly as they had come. Today, people still come and go—to see where the Canadian gold rush happened. Tourism is now the chief industry of Dawson City—its present population is 762.
1. What attracted the early settlers to New York City
A. Its business culture.
B. Its small population.
C. Its geographical position.
D. Its favourable climate.
2. What do we know about those who first dug for gold in Dawson
A. Two-thirds of them stayed there.
B. One out of five people got rich.
C. Almost everyone gave up.
D. Half of them died.
3. What was the main reason for many people to leave Dawson
A. They found the city too crowded.
B. They wanted to try their luck elsewhere.
C. They were unable to stand the winter.
D. They were short of food.
4. What is the text mainly about
A. The rise and fall of a city.
B. The gold rush in Canada.
C. Journeys into the wilderness.
D. Tourism in Dawson.

If anyone had told me three years ago that I would be spending most of my weekends camping，I would have laughed heartily. Campers, in my eyes, were people who enjoyed insect bites, ill-cooked meals, and uncomfortable sleeping bags. They had nothing in common with me. 1
The friends who introduced me to camping thought that it meant to be a pioneer. 2 We slept in a tent, cooked over an open fire, and walked a long distance to take the shower and use the bathroom. This brief visit with Mother Nature cost me two days off from work, recovering from a bad case of sunburn and the doctor’s bill for my son’s food poisoning.
I was, nevertheless，talked into going on another fun-filled holiday in the wilderness. 3 Instead, we had a pop-up camper with comfortable beds and an air conditioner. My nature-loving friends had remembered to bring all the necessities of life.
4 We have done a lot of it since. Recently, we bought a twenty-eight-foot travel trailer complete with a bathroom and a built-in TV set. There is a separate bedroom, a modem kitchen with a refrigerator. The trailer even has matching carpet and curtains.
5 It must be true that sooner or later, everyone finds his or her way back to nature. I recommend that you find your way in style.
A. This time there was no tent.
B. Things are going to be improved.
C. The trip they took me on was a rough one.
D. I was to learn a lot about camping since then, however.
E. I must say that I have certainly come to enjoy camping.
F. After the trip, my family became quite interested in camping.
G. There was no shade as the trees were no more than 3 feet tall.
1. __________2. __________3. ___________4. __________5. ___________
参考答案及解析：
I. 【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文，题材为城市环境类。城市的兴起壮大，城市的兴起又衰落，这背后的原因是什么呢？ 本文以纽约和道森两个城市为例，给出了隐藏在背后的真正推手。
1. C推理判断题。题干句意：是什么吸引那些早期定居者来到纽约市的呢？根据第一段第三句话（例如纽约市，它在哈得孙河的河口的一个大港口附近）并结合第四句可知，这个优越的地理位置使得纽约市的人口在300年的时间里从800 增长到800万。所以答案为C项:它的地理位置。A项:它的贸易文化。B项:它的稀少的人口。D项:它的宜人气候这三项原文均未提及。
2. B细节理解题。题干句意：对那些第一批到达道森市淘金的人我们了解到了什么？根据第二段倒数第二句话（在第一批淘金的20,000人中，有4,000人富了起来）可知有五分之一的人富了起来, 故B项正确。
3. B推理判断题。题干句意:很多人离开道森的主要原因是什么？根据第三段第四句话第一个逗号后的部分（当他们听说在阿拉斯加州发现了新的金矿后，他们就像当初匆忙来道森市一样，又匆忙离开了这里）可推断出这些人匆匆忙忙离开这里去阿拉斯加州淘金去了，又去碰运气看能不能变富。 B项“他们想去别的地方碰运气。”与原文意思相符。A项： 他们觉得这个城市太拥挤了。C项：他们无法忍受这里的冬天。D项:他们缺少食物。这三项与原文不符。
4. A主旨大意题。文章第一段第一句话提出观点:一个城市之所以矗立在那里是有充分的原因的。后文以两个城市为例来论证这个观点。纽约市的兴起是因为它优越的地理位置。 道森市的兴起是因为这里发现了金矿，而这座城市的衰落是因为这里没有了金矿。由此可知本文主要描述了一个城市的兴起和衰落及其背后的原因。这与A项相符。B项:加拿大的淘金热。C项:踏进荒野的旅程。D项:道森的旅游业。这二项都不是主题。
II. 【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。一位加拿大男士在与女友分手后，免费给与前女友同名的女士提供一张他们之前订的环球旅行的机票，此事引起了许多网友的关注。
1. C 由下文 You must be named Elizabeth Gallagher and have a Canadian 2 . 可知，对于这张机票，有一些限制，故选C项。
2. B 此处与下文第10空前后的内容照应，由10空后的 passports 可知选 B。
3. D 根据上文的 his then girlfriend 判断，现在Jordan Axani 已经与他的女友分手, 故选D。
4. A 他不想浪费掉这张票，故选A。go to waste被浪费掉。 come to mind 突然想到；go on sale 上市；come into effect 生效。
5. A 这张票有着严格的不可转让制度。票的不可转让是航空公司的制度，故选A。policy政策，方针，制度。
6. B 在预订机票时并未要求提供护照的信息，故选B。apply 申请,应用;book预订;check检查，核实;bargain讨价还价。
7. A 因此来自加拿大的Elizabeth Gallagher都能使用这张票。 故选A。
8. C 根据语境可知Jordan Axani想把这张机票送出去让别人体验快乐，故选C。sacrifice牺牲；express表达；experience体验;provide提供。
9. C Jordan Axani在社交网站上发布了他的提议。offer作名词，意为“提议”，符合语境。
10. B Jordan Axani收到了数以千计的电子邮件，其中有30封来自有符合要求的护照并且真名是Elizabeth Gallagher的人，故选B。right对的，符合要求的。
11. A 下文谈到有数百位加拿大人对于把她们的名字改成 Elizabeth Gallagher感兴趣，由此可判断Axani觉得此事有趣，故选A。
12. D 根据语境可知，那些人只有把名字改成Elizabeth Gallagher才符合要求，故选D。
13. D 此处表示情况完全失去了控制，故选D。out of control失去控制。
14. C 人们与Axani分享他们的旅行故事。
15. B Axani在邮件中写到他不寻求任何回报。look for something in return 寻求回报。
16. D 使用这张额外的机票的女士既可以选择或者和他一起旅行，或者也可以拿着这张票单独旅行,故选D。
17. B 此处指的是符合条件的女士可以拿着这张票去旅行，故选B。
18. C 显然带着机票是去旅行的。故选C。
19. A 本文开头便提到 a free round-the-world air ticket,因此旅行者最终还要回到多伦多。故选A。
20. D能够拿到机票的女士显然是幸运的,故选D。
III. 【语篇解读】本文为记叙文。三年前，如果有人说我会将大部分周末用来野营，我会开怀大笑。但也就是从那时起，我开始野营并深深迷恋上它。相信有一天，你也会回到大自然中去。
1. D过渡句。上文指出，三年前，我不相信自己会用大部分周末去野营，参加野营的人会经历种种困难，我和他们不是一类人。下文讲到了自己迷恋上野营的过程，故此处有引起下文的作用。D项符合语境，与前面的内容有转折关系。句意:但是，从那时起我注定会学到很多关于野营的东西。
2. C过渡句。空后主要介绍了首次野营中遇到的困难与艰苦，故C项符合本段内容。rough(令人不快的；艰难的）是关键词。
3. A细节句。由空后的内容及前面的another可知，A项可将前后句有效衔接起来。
4. F过渡句。本句位于段首，起到了承上启下的作用。上段提到了第二次较为舒适的野营，下文指出自此之后进行了多次野营，且装备更加完善。F项意为“这次行程之后，我们一家人对野营产生了浓厚的兴趣。”，下文中的We指代my family，该句有效地连接了上下文。
5. E总结句。本句位于最后一段，起到了总结全文的作用，且与文章开头提到的三年前不喜欢野营相呼应。E项符合语境，意为“我不得不说我绝对已经喜欢上了野营。”。
