Whether you are hoping to relax or you are looking forward to staying active in vacation, seeking out great hikes is a good choice. If you are planning a trip to southern California, or you live in San Diego, now it is time to search for new hiking trails (路线). Here are some of the most popular hikes in San Diego.
Cedar Greek Falls
For this hike, you’ll hike from the Cedar Creek Falls to the Devil’s Punch Bowl, which is a pool at the base of Cedar Greek Falls. It can really heat up in the summer, and it is hard to hike, so be sure to pack lots of water and protein-filled snacks.
Cuyamaca Peak (顶峰)
The peak is in Cuyamaca Rancho State Park, and you’ll see plenty of snow-capped trees if you do this hike in the winter. There are 37 trails in the state park, but you’ll want to stick to Azalea Glen Loop. It’s a difficult sever mile hike that will bring you right to Cuyamaca Peak.
Cowles Mountain
It is well known that Cowles Mountain is the highest point in San Diego—so it’s worth visiting for the fact that you can see Mexico from the peak. The three-mile hike is quite difficult. If you are willing to wake up before the sun, Cowles Mountain is a beautiful spot to watch the sunrise. It's one of San Diego’s most popular hikes, so starting early might also help avoid the crowds.
Swami’s Beach
Take the trail from Swami’s Beach to Cardiff Beach and you will experience impressive ocean views and the smooth sound of waves crashing onto the sand. As an easy out-and-back hike, the path is accessible (可进入的) from Swami’s Beach and is about three miles in total.
1. What do you need to take if you choose the Cedar Greek Falls
A. A raincoat. B. An umbrella.
C. Food and water. D. A hat and a map.
2. What is Cowles Mountain famous for
A. The difficult hiking trail. B. Being the peak in San Diego.
C. The great restaurant. D. The great length of the trail.
3. Which hiking trail will you choose if you want to see the sea
A. Cedar Greek Falls. B. Cuyamaca Peak.
C. Cowles Mountain. D. Swami’s Beach.
B
Recently whenever I turned on my computer or my mobile phone, news about the great effect of Hurricane Harvey（哈维飓风）on thousands of people caught my eye. I saw many unfortunate events. However, there was also lots of bright news that showed the goodness of mankind. As a reporter, I reported many human-interest stories when doing my job, That’s why the story about the guys in the bakery（面包店）caught my eye.
When the workers at a Mexican bakery chain in Houston were trapped inside the building for two days, they didn't sit there feeling sorry for themselves. They used their time wisely after flooding caused by Hurricane Harvey. While waiting for the eventual rescue that came on Monday morning, the four workers decided to make as many loaves of bread as possible for people around the neighborhood. They talked to their manager about their plan over the phone and the manager agreed.
The flood water rose in the street outside. They took advantage of their emergency power supply to bake bread. They used more than 4,200 pounds of flour（面粉）to create hundreds of loaves and sheets of sweet bread. Although the water kept rising, they continued baking to help more people. By the time the manager managed to get to them, they had made so much bread that they took the loaves to lots of emergency centers across the city for people affected by the floods.
The store manager, Brian Alvarado, told The Independent, “They've done more than they should have done. And what they had done has lit a light for people. I feel lucky to have them work in the bakery.”
Whenever a disaster occurs, nobody should feelforlorn. Instead, we should stay hopeful and take positive action to save ourselves and help others. Our acts of kindness will make a big difference to the people in the world as well as the world itself.
4. Why did the story in the bakery draw the author’s attention
A. It was helpful in choosing a good job.
B. It made him/her interested in baking.
C. It could bring him/her much money.
D. It showed the goodness of mankind.
5. What did the guys in the bakery do in the disaster
A. They tried to get people out of water.
B. They set up emergency centers to help.
C. They offered to make bread for people.
D. They let homeless people live in the bakery.
6. What does Brian Alvarado think of the four workers
A. He found them lucky. B. He was proud of them.
C. They were experienced. D. They were shy but brave.
7. What does the underlined word “forlorn” in the last paragraph probably mean
A. Hopeless. B. Confident. C. Serious. D. Angry.
C
People have been wondering why elephants do not develop cancer even though they have lifespans(寿命)that are similar to humans, living for around 50 to 70 years.
Now scientists believe they know why. A team at the University of Chicago, US has found that elephants carry a large number of genes that stop tumors(肿瘤)developing. To be precise, they found 20 copies of an anti-tumor gene called TP53 in elephants. Most other species, including humans, only carry one copy.
According to the research, the extra copies of the gene improved the animal’s sensitivity to DNA damage, which lets the cells quickly kill themselves when damaged before they can go on to form deadly tumors.
“An increased risk of developing cancer has stood in the way of the evolution of large body sizes in many animals,” the study author Dr Vincent Lynch told The Guardian. If every living cell has the same chance of becoming cancerous(癌变的),large creatures with a long lifespan like whales and elephants should have a greater risk of developing cancer than humans and mice. But across species, the risk of cancer does not show a connection with body mass.
This phenomenon was found by Oxford University scientist Richard Peto in the 1970s and later named “Peto’s paradox(悖论)”. Biologists believe it results from larger animals using protection that many smaller animals do not. In the elephant’s case, the making of TP53 is nature’s way of keeping this species alive.
The study also found that when the same genes were brought to life in mice, they had the same cancer resistance as elephants. This means researchers could use the discovery to develop new treatments that can help stop cancers spreading or even developing in the first place.
“Nature has already figured out how to prevent cancer,” said Joshua Schiffman, a biologist at the School of Medicine, University of Utah, US. “It’s up to us to learn how different animals deal with the problem so that we can use those strategies to prevent cancer in people.”
8. Why are elephants unlikely to develop cancer
A. Certain genes in their body kill existing tumors.
B. They have a rather large body size.
C. They carry many genes to prevent tumors developing.
D. Their genes suffer no DNA damage.
9. According to the passage, what has been a risk in the evolution of large animals
A. The huge body mass.
B. Deadly tumors.
C. Cells killing themselves.
D. Sensitivity to DNA damage.
10. What does the underlined part “This phenomenon” in Paragraph 5 probably refer to
A. The risk of cancer is not related to body size.
B. Larger animals have protection from TP53.
C. Larger animals suffer the same risk of cancer as smaller ones.
D. The larger animals are, the bigger risk of cancer they will have.
11. What can be concluded from the passage
A. Depending on nature is surely enough to fight against cancer.
B. The TP53 genes have proved useful in stopping cancer in people.
C. The extra copies of elephants’ genes are used to cure cancer patients.
D. Humans are expected to prevent cancer with the making of TP53.
D
Doctors say you had better use it before you lose it. The more you sit each day, the more chance you have of getting sick.
Richard Rosenkranz of Kansas State University was among the researchers. He said people who sat for long periods were at great risk of diseases when compared with those who sat less. He said that was especially true for some chronic (慢性的) diseases.
Richard Rosenkranz studied the relationship between sitting and chronic diseases in middle-aged Australian men. He worked with researchers from the University of Western Sydney. They examined the health records of more than 63,000 men from New South Wales. The men were between the ages of 45 and 65. The men reported about what diseases they had, or did not have. And they kept record of the amount of time each day that they sat.
The study also showed that exercising every morning for 30 minutes did not reduce the health risk if you spend the next eight hours sitting at the desk. Mr. Rosenkranz said it was important to make sure you exercise. But he said it was also important to find ways not to sit so much during the day.
Many jobs today require sitting and working at the desk all day. James Levine works at the Mayo Clinic in the United Sates. He suggests working while standing at high table some of the time instead of sitting at a desk. Dr. Levine also suggests standing while using the telephone or eating. Or he advises walking with the people you work with for an on-foot meeting. And he notes that if you spend more time on your feet,you may have muscle activity that helps burn fats and sugars in your body.
12. What does the underlined sentence in the first paragraph imply
A. Doctors should treat all the patients well.
B. Doctors should make use of every method.
C. One should value his health before he loses it.
D. One should depend on himself to keep healthy.
13. How did Richard Rosenkranz make the study
A. By examining some records and reports.
B By making some laboratory experiments.
C. By talking with the doctors and patients.
D. By watching the men’s daily performance.
14. According to Dr. Levine, in order to avoid the harm of long-time sitting,what should people do
A. Exercise more often. B. Change their jobs.
C. Stay away from the desk. D. Stand or walk more.
15. Where does this text probably come from
A. A fashion magazine. B. A health magazine.
C. A biology textbook. D. A life guide.

Cory had a quarrel with his mother for his study and left home in the morning. He had been wandering on the streets for almost a whole day, feeling so depressed and hopeless.
It was freezing cold at dusk on such a winter day. And the sky was dark. He was walking down an empty street where there were no passers-by, because people must have been at home for warmth. Cory was walking to a crossroad when suddenly he came across a little boy stuck in the middle of the road alone like him.
Cory had meant to turn a blind eye to him at first. But the boy’s situation worried him. He approached the boy, asking, “Hey! Why are you alone here Where is your mother ” “I want to find my mama and papa. Please take me home,” the boy replied, bursting into tears. Cory led him away from the crossroad. Then, he asked worriedly, “How did you come here What’s your name ”
“I’m Simon. I was playing with my dog. The dog ran away, and I ran after him for a long distance. But when I wanted to go back home, I lost my way,” cried the boy. Feeling pity for the boy, Cory made up his mind to help the boy. He couldn’t have the little boy staying here alone.
Attempting to look for his home, Cory took the little boy to different neighborhoods. But things didn’t go that smoothly as he had expected. It was getting darker and darker, and Cory thought he had to help Simon find his home. He knocked on every door, but without luck. Worn out and starving, he realized Simon must be very hungry. He offered him the chocolate he had bought with his rest money. It began to snow and he removed his coat and put it around Simon. Luckily, there was still a bakery store with the door open. He borrowed a phone to call the police station.

【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇应用文，介绍了圣地亚哥一些最受欢迎的徒步路线。
【1题详解】

Recently whenever I turned on my computer or my mobile phone, news about the great effect of Hurricane Harvey（哈维飓风）on thousands of people caught my eye. I saw many unfortunate events. However, there was also lots of bright news that showed the goodness of mankind. As a reporter, I reported many human-interest stories when doing my job, That’s why the story about the guys in the bakery（面包店）caught my eye.
When the workers at a Mexican bakery chain in Houston were trapped inside the building for two days, they didn't sit there feeling sorry for themselves. They used their time wisely after flooding caused by Hurricane Harvey. While waiting for the eventual rescue that came on Monday morning, the four workers decided to make as many loaves of bread as possible for people around the neighborhood. They talked to their manager about their plan over the phone and the manager agreed.
The flood water rose in the street outside. They took advantage of their emergency power supply to bake bread. They used more than 4,200 pounds of flour（面粉）to create hundreds of loaves and sheets of sweet bread. Although the water kept rising, they continued baking to help more people. By the time the manager managed to get to them, they had made so much bread that they took the loaves to lots of emergency centers across the city for people affected by the floods.
The store manager, Brian Alvarado, told The Independent, “They've done more than they should have done. And what they had done has lit a light for people. I feel lucky to have them work in the bakery.”
Whenever a disaster occurs, nobody should feelforlorn. Instead, we should stay hopeful and take positive action to save ourselves and help others. Our acts of kindness will make a big difference to the people in the world as well as the world itself.

People have been wondering why elephants do not develop cancer even though they have lifespans(寿命)that are similar to humans, living for around 50 to 70 years.
Now scientists believe they know why. A team at the University of Chicago, US has found that elephants carry a large number of genes that stop tumors(肿瘤)developing. To be precise, they found 20 copies of an anti-tumor gene called TP53 in elephants. Most other species, including humans, only carry one copy.
According to the research, the extra copies of the gene improved the animal’s sensitivity to DNA damage, which lets the cells quickly kill themselves when damaged before they can go on to form deadly tumors.
“An increased risk of developing cancer has stood in the way of the evolution of large body sizes in many animals,” the study author Dr Vincent Lynch told The Guardian. If every living cell has the same chance of becoming cancerous(癌变的),large creatures with a long lifespan like whales and elephants should have a greater risk of developing cancer than humans and mice. But across species, the risk of cancer does not show a connection with body mass.
This phenomenon was found by Oxford University scientist Richard Peto in the 1970s and later named “Peto’s paradox(悖论)”. Biologists believe it results from larger animals using protection that many smaller animals do not. In the elephant’s case, the making of TP53 is nature’s way of keeping this species alive.
The study also found that when the same genes were brought to life in mice, they had the same cancer resistance as elephants. This means researchers could use the discovery to develop new treatments that can help stop cancers spreading or even developing in the first place.
“Nature has already figured out how to prevent cancer,” said Joshua Schiffman, a biologist at the School of Medicine, University of Utah, US. “It’s up to us to learn how different animals deal with the problem so that we can use those strategies to prevent cancer in people.”
8. Why are elephants unlikely to develop cancer
A. Certain genes in their body kill existing tumors.
B. They have a rather large body size.
C. They carry many genes to prevent tumors developing.
D. Their genes suffer no DNA damage.
9. According to the passage, what has been a risk in the evolution of large animals
A. The huge body mass.
B. Deadly tumors.
C. Cells killing themselves.
D. Sensitivity to DNA damage.
10. What does the underlined part “This phenomenon” in Paragraph 5 probably refer to
A. The risk of cancer is not related to body size.
B. Larger animals have protection from TP53.
C. Larger animals suffer the same risk of cancer as smaller ones.
D. The larger animals are, the bigger risk of cancer they will have.
11. What can be concluded from the passage
A. Depending on nature is surely enough to fight against cancer.
B. The TP53 genes have proved useful in stopping cancer in people.
C. The extra copies of elephants’ genes are used to cure cancer patients.
D. Humans are expected to prevent cancer with the making of TP53.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. A 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文。科学家研究发现，与人类寿命相似的大象不会患上癌症，是由于它们能制造TP53基因保证物种的生存，人们可以通过这些策略来预防癌症。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“A team at the University of Chicago, US has found that elephants carry a large number of genes that stop tumors(肿瘤)developing.”（美国芝加哥大学的一个研究小组发现，大象携带了大量阻止肿瘤发展的基因。）可知，大象不容易患癌症是由于它们携带许多阻止肿瘤发展的基因。故选C项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段““An increased risk of developing cancer has stood in the way of the evolution of large body sizes in many animals,” the study author Dr Vincent Lynch told The Guardian.”（该研究的作者文森特·林奇博士在接受《卫报》采访时表示:“癌症风险的增加阻碍了许多动物向大体型进化。”）可知，大型动物进化过程中的风险是致命的肿瘤。故选B项。
【10题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线处上一段“If every living cell has the same chance of becoming cancerous,large creatures with a long lifespan like whales and elephants should have a greater risk of developing cancer than humans and mice. But across species, the risk of cancer does not show a connection with body mass.”（如果每个活细胞都有同样的机会癌变，那么像鲸鱼和大象这样寿命较长的大型生物，应该比人类和老鼠患癌症的风险更大。但就物种而言，患癌症的风险与体重没有关系。）可知，“这种现象”指代上文提到的“患癌症的风险与体型无关”这一现象。故选A项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“To be precise, they found 20 copies of an anti-tumor gene called TP53 in elephants.”（准确地说，他们在大象身上发现了20个名为TP53的抗肿瘤基因拷贝。）及最后一段““It’s up to us to learn how different animals deal with the problem so that we can use those strategies to prevent cancer in people.””（“这取决于我们了解不同的动物如何处理这个问题，这样我们就可以使用这些策略来预防人类癌症。”）可推知，人类有望通过制造TP53来预防癌症。故选D项。

Doctors say you had better use it before you lose it. The more you sit each day, the more chance you have of getting sick.
Richard Rosenkranz of Kansas State University was among the researchers. He said people who sat for long periods were at great risk of diseases when compared with those who sat less. He said that was especially true for some chronic (慢性的) diseases.
Richard Rosenkranz studied the relationship between sitting and chronic diseases in middle-aged Australian men. He worked with researchers from the University of Western Sydney. They examined the health records of more than 63,000 men from New South Wales. The men were between the ages of 45 and 65. The men reported about what diseases they had, or did not have. And they kept record of the amount of time each day that they sat.
The study also showed that exercising every morning for 30 minutes did not reduce the health risk if you spend the next eight hours sitting at the desk. Mr. Rosenkranz said it was important to make sure you exercise. But he said it was also important to find ways not to sit so much during the day.
Many jobs today require sitting and working at the desk all day. James Levine works at the Mayo Clinic in the United Sates. He suggests working while standing at high table some of the time instead of sitting at a desk. Dr. Levine also suggests standing while using the telephone or eating. Or he advises walking with the people you work with for an on-foot meeting. And he notes that if you spend more time on your feet,you may have muscle activity that helps burn fats and sugars in your body.
12. What does the underlined sentence in the first paragraph imply
A. Doctors should treat all the patients well.
B. Doctors should make use of every method.
C. One should value his health before he loses it.
D. One should depend on himself to keep healthy.
13. How did Richard Rosenkranz make the study
A. By examining some records and reports.
B. By making some laboratory experiments.
C. By talking with the doctors and patients.
D. By watching the men’s daily performance.
14. According to Dr. Levine, in order to avoid the harm of long-time sitting,what should people do
A. Exercise more often. B. Change their jobs.
C. Stay away from the desk. D. Stand or walk more.
15. Where does this text probably come from
A. A fashion magazine. B. A health magazine.
C. A biology textbook. D. A life guide.
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. D 15. B

考查谓语动词。句意：但我们需要记住，我们在社交媒体上看到的往往不是关于一个人的全部真相。本句中that引导的宾语从句中包含了what引导的主语从句，当从句作主语时，要看作单数，主谓要保持一致，本句陈述客观事实，用一般现在时，所以此处用is。故填is。
【43题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：在社交媒体网站上，人们倾向于只发布积极的更新，让自己看起来快乐和友好，而微笑的照片可能隐藏着真正的问题。空处引导限制性定语从句，从句缺主语，先行词是updates(更新，近况)，指物，需填关系代词that或which。 故填that或which。
【44题详解】
考查连词。句意：但这并不意味着我们应该不分良莠，好坏一起丢。上一段提到网络信息并不一定都是全面真实的，本段空处后一句说友谊的意义和我们对朋友的渴望依然不变，故本句是一个过渡句，与上一句构成转折关系，且本句句子成分完整，需填转折连词，首字母需大写。故填But。
【45题详解】
考查谓语动词。句意：尽管近年来科技改变了我们获得朋友的方式，但友谊的意义和我们对朋友的渴望还是不变的。本句主语是technology，主谓需要保持一致，时间状语是in recent years，结合句意需填现在完成时或者现在完成进行时。故填has changed或has been changing。

Spring Festival also called Lunar New Year, is the most important traditional festival. I’m glad to share with you what I did during the Spring Festival.
Long before New Year’s Eve, I helped make preparations, such as new clothes, thorough cleaning. I also went to the airport and met my brother studying in Beijing. On the New Year’s Eve, my family got together and enjoyed a big dinner. We chatted, watching Chunwan. Setting off fireworks was the most exciting.

Every Spring Festival is unforgettable. I love it.
Yours,
Li Hua

47. 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。
Cory had a quarrel with his mother for his study and left home in the morning. He had been wandering on the streets for almost a whole day, feeling so depressed and hopeless.
It was freezing cold at dusk on such a winter day. And the sky was dark. He was walking down an empty street where there were no passers-by, because people must have been at home for warmth. Cory was walking to a crossroad when suddenly he came across a little boy stuck in the middle of the road alone like him.
Cory had meant to turn a blind eye to him at first. But the boy’s situation worried him. He approached the boy, asking, “Hey! Why are you alone here Where is your mother ” “I want to find my mama and papa. Please take me home,” the boy replied, bursting into tears. Cory led him away from the crossroad. Then, he asked worriedly, “How did you come here What’s your name ”
“I’m Simon. I was playing with my dog. The dog ran away, and I ran after him for a long distance. But when I wanted to go back home, I lost my way,” cried the boy. Feeling pity for the boy, Cory made up his mind to help the boy. He couldn’t have the little boy staying here alone.
Attempting to look for his home, Cory took the little boy to different neighborhoods. But things didn’t go that smoothly as he had expected. It was getting darker and darker, and Cory thought he had to help Simon find his home. He knocked on every door, but without luck. Worn out and starving, he realized Simon must be very hungry. He offered him the chocolate he had bought with his rest money. It began to snow and he removed his coat and put it around Simon. Luckily, there was still a bakery store with the door open. He borrowed a phone to call the police station.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
After a while, a police car pulled up and Cory waved to it with excitement. Two policemen came out of the police car and Cory couldn’t wait to explain what had happened to Simon. Then, the policemen checked for any missing person’s report without any delay. Meanwhile, they drove the two of them around the nearby neighborhood one by one to search for Simon’s home. Finally, they successfully contacted the little boy’s parents. Cory was more than glad to see Simon s reunion with his parents.
Seeing the reunion of Simon and his parents, Cory was deeply touched. He thought of his own parents, the warm home and his mother’s delicious supper. He thought his parents must have been as worried as Simon’s and they must have been anxiously searching everywhere for their son right now. The more he thought about it, the more guilty he felt for what he had done to his mother. All his anger died away in an instant and he rushed in the direction of his home.
