North American Train Routes for a Family Vacation
The Adirondack
Considered one of the top ten scenic train rides in the world, the Adirondack train route travels from New York City’s Penn Station to Montreal, Canada. The 10-hour trip is great for a weekend away in either Montreal or Manhattan. The route will take you past West Point Academy, the Hudson River Valley and fifty miles of Lake Champlain.
The Vermonter
The almost 14-hour trip from Washington, D. C. to St. Albans, the Vermonter takes you from the U. S. capital, through the beautiful New England states of Connecticut and Massachusetts on the way to Vermont. As you travel through New England towns, you’ll be able to see some of the most beautiful scenery in this area, including rivers, falls and covered bridges.
The Downeaster
The Downeaster was established in 2001 and was expanded several years ago northward to Freeport and Brunswick, Maine. The short ride(between three and four hours) includes a trip along the beautiful Maine coastline. With five round-trips offered daily, it’s a great way for Massachusetts families to visit Maine for a day or longer. Many of these routes carry volunteers to aid passengers with questions about local attractions and destinations.
The Pennsylvanian
Both New York City and Pittsburgh are great family vacation destinations and the Pennsylvanian route takes you through the beautiful Pennsylvanian landscape between the two major cities. The 9.5-hour trip travels through a variety of different terrains(地形), and stops along the way including Newark, Philadelphia, Harrisburg and Altoona. The connecting train service is available for those looking to travel to Cleveland, Chicago, and Toledo from Pittsburgh.

When Steven Spielberg was a kid growing up in the 1950s in Arizona, watching westerns on his family’s 20-inch black-and-white TV, he would climb right up to the screen, as if to surround himself with the image. He also wished he could see these moving pictures in color. So he searched through his family’s collection of slides quickly, having learned that by holding one film or another up to the television screen he could turn grayed-out western skies blue, or the ground to a realistic-looking green. Sometimes his mom walked in, and saw him holding these slides up to both of his eyes, right next to the TV set. Often, she would say, “You’re going to burn your eyes out!”
Spielberg’s mom, like all the other 50s moms who said the same thing, was wrong about that. But we all know what she must have been thinking: Who is this child
If you’ve seen even just one Steven Spielberg movie in the past 50 years or so — Jaws, Schindler’s List, E. T-you have some sense of who this child grew up to be. And when you see his new film, The Fabelmans, a work of astonishing vividness that’s drawn from his own family’s story, you’ll know even more. Movies have been around for roughly 130 years; Spielberg’s career has covered more than a third of that. Yet The Fabelmans hardly feels like a late-career movie. It’s a bridge for a new beginning.
Not every 75-year-old filmmaker makes a movie like this. Of the ambitious young guys who remade Hollywood in the early 1970s, Spielberg is one of the few still making vital pictures at a consistent (一致的) clip. Yet his career is extraordinary in any context. He’s made some box-office disappointments, but naming a badly made Spielberg film is hard, probably because there isn’t one. No living filmmaker can match his devotion to craftsmanship, to finding new ways of showing us things we think we’ve seen a million times before.
4. How did Spielberg’s mom feel when she saw her son’s behav or in front of the TV set
A. Proud but upset. B. Surprised but supportive.
C. Worried and confused. D. Annoyed and desperate.
5. Which of the following is NOT a reason why Spielberg’s career is regarded as extraordinary
A. He is devoted to filming ordinary things from new angles.
B. He showed great interest in filming at a very young age.
C. His career covers more than a third of the movie history.
D. All his films are probably well-made despite some box-office disappointments.
6. What can be inferred about Spielberg’s new film The Fabelmans
A. It’s the most outstanding film he has ever made in his career.
B. It has been related to part of his growing experience.
C. It represents a totally brand-new type of film theme.
D It established Spielberg as the most influential filmmaker.
7. What is the purpose of the text
A. To introduce a giant in film-making.
B. To demonstrate how to dare to be different.
C. To indicate curiosity makes success.
D. To recommend a pioneering new film.
【答案】4. C 5. B 6. B 7. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了导演史蒂文·斯皮尔伯格的个人经历以及成就。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。 根据第一段中的“Sometimes his mom walked in, and saw him holding these slides up to both of his eyes, right next to the TV set. Often, she would say, ‘You’re going to burn your eyes out!’(有时他妈妈走进来，看到他把幻灯片举到双眼上，就在电视机旁边。 她经常会说：‘你会把眼睛烧坏的!’)”以及第二段“Spielberg’s mom, like all the other 50s moms who said the same thing, was wrong about that. But we all know what she must have been thinking: Who is this child (斯皮尔伯格的妈妈，就像所有其他 50 多岁的妈妈说同样的话一样，那样说是不对的。但我们都知道她一定在想什么：这个孩子是谁 )”可推知，当斯皮尔伯格的妈妈看到儿子在电视机前的行为时，她感到担心和困惑，故选C。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。 根据第三段中的“Movies have been around for roughly 130 years; Spielberg’s career has covered more than a third of that.(电影已经存在了大约 130年；斯皮尔伯格的职业生涯涵盖了其中的三分之一以上。)”，最后一段中的“Yet his career is extraordinary in any context. He’s made some box-office disappointments, but naming a badly made Spielberg film is hard, probably because there isn’t one.(然而，他的职业生涯在任何背景下都是非凡的。他的一些票房成绩令人失望，但说出斯皮尔伯格的一部糟糕电影是很难的，可能因为根本就没有一部这样的电影。)”以及“No living filmmaker can match his devotion to craftsmanship, to finding new ways of showing us things we think we’ve seen a million times before.(没有任何一位在世的电影制片人能与他对工艺的奉献相媲美，他寻找新的方式向我们展示我们认为已经看过一百万次的东西。)”可知，B选项“他很小的时候就对电影表现出了极大的兴趣”不是斯皮尔伯格的事业被认为非凡的原因。故选B。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“And when you see his new film, The Fabelmans, a work of astonishing vividness that’s drawn from his own family’s story, you’ll know even more.(当你看到他的新电影《法贝尔曼一家》时，你会了解得更多，这部极其生动的电影取材于他自己家庭的故事。)”可推知，斯皮尔伯格的新片《法贝尔曼一家》与他成长经历的一部分有关。故选B。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“No living filmmaker can match his devotion to craftsmanship, to finding new ways of showing us things we think we’ve seen a million times before.(没有任何一位在世的电影制片人能与他对工艺的奉献相媲美，他寻找新的方式向我们展示我们认为已经看过一百万次的东西。)”并结合文章主要介绍了导演史蒂文·斯皮尔伯格的个人经历以及成就可知，文章的写作目的是介绍“电影制作界的一位巨人”。故选A。
C
To write his 2010 book, The 5-Factor World Diet, nutritionist Harley Pasternak traveled to the healthiest countries around the world to learn more about what made their meals extra nourishing.
He noted that Japanese people ate a wonderful variety of seaweeds, and that Chinese people tried to include at least five different colors in every meal. Pasternak also came away with some valuable observations about how different the North American way of life was, compared with many other countries.
For starters, Americans eat much bigger portions than people in other countries. “We don’t prioritize eating seasonally or locally, and we also add lots of salt, sugar and thickening agents to our foods,” explained Pasternak. Contrast that with the healthy Mediterranean, Nordic and Okinawan diets listed in Pasternak’s book. They all seem to stick to the ethos (特质) of regional, seasonal produce.
For example, a traditional Mediterranean diet includes fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts and olive oil as the main components of nutritional intake. Fish, chicken and red wine make moderate appearances, while red meat, salt and sugar are used much less often. The benefits of a traditional Mediterranean diet have been studied since the 1970s, and researchers have found that living that olive oil life can help people lose weight, lower their heart disease risk and reverse (逆转) diabetes.
Most other health y eating cultures also make meals an event — say, multiple courses around the family table, or a glass or two of red wine at a long lunch — as opposed to hastily (匆忙地) wolfing down handfuls of cereal above the kitchen sink and calling it dinner.
Each of the healthy eating cultures has its own unique feature. But Pasternak did take note of one unifying factor in all of the healthy societies he observed. “The only overlapping feature in most of these healthy countries is that they all walk way more than the average American,” said. Pasternak. “So really, regardless of what you’re eating, if someone walks four miles more than you each day, they’re going to be a lot thinner and live a lot longer than you.”
8. Which of the following characterizes Japanese and Chinese foods
A. Color. B. Flavor. C. Diversity. D. Taste.
9. What can we know from paragraphs 3 and 4
A. Americans focus more on nutrition and flavor in the way of eating.
B. Americans tend to healthily eat quite a lot in the way of eating.
C. Mediterranean Nordic and Okinawan diets prioritize local, seasonal produce.
D. Diabetes or lung disease patients had better live an olive oil life.
10. What is the similarity among people in most healthy eating cultures
A. They attach great importance to their meals.
B. They always eat their meals regularly and timely.
C. They get the whole family to eat around the table.
D. They consume plenty of cereal hastily for dinner.
11. What can we learn about people in healthy societies from the last paragraph
A. They walk considerably more. B. They go on a diet to live longer.
C. They care more about body shape. D. They consume more organic food.
【答案】8. C 9. C 10. A 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要通过营养学家Harley Pasternak的研究阐述了世界上健康国家的饮食特点。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“He noted that Japanese people ate a wonderful variety of seaweeds, and that Chinese people tried to include at least five different colors in every meal.(他指出，日本人吃的海藻种类繁多，而中国人每顿饭至少要吃五种不同颜色的食物)”可知，日本和中国食物的特点是种类多。故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Contrast that with the healthy Mediterranean, Nordic and Okinawan diets listed in Pasternak’s book. They all seem to stick to the ethos (特质) of regional, seasonal produce.(与Pasternak书中列出的地中海、北欧和冲绳的健康饮食形成对比。它们似乎都坚持当地季节性农产品的理念)”可知，地中海、北欧和冲绳的饮食特色是当地季节性农产品。故选C。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Most other health y eating cultures also make meals an event — say, multiple courses around the family table, or a glass or two of red wine at a long lunch — as opposed to hastily (匆忙地) wolfing down handfuls of cereal above the kitchen sink and calling it dinner.(大多数其他的健康饮食文化也把吃饭当成一件大事——比如，在家庭餐桌上吃好几道菜，或者在午餐时喝一两杯红酒——而不是在厨房的水槽上狼吞虎咽地吃上一把麦片，然后把它叫做晚餐)”可知，大多数健康饮食文化中的人们的共同点是他们非常重视他们的饮食。故选A。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“The only overlapping feature in most of these healthy countries is that they all walk way more than the average American(这些健康国家的唯一共同特征是，他们都比普通美国人走得多得多)”可知，与普通美国人相比，健康社会的人走路多得多。故选A。
D
When it comes to team assembly (团队组建), people who are both trustworthy and competent are the most sought after. However, those who are friendly and trustworthy are more likely to be selected than those who are known for just their skill competence and personal reputation, according to a new research from Binghamton University.
“We assume that people are selected for important tasks due to their knowledge, skills and abilities. However, this research suggests that people may often get picked because team members feel comfortable with them,” said Cynthia Maupin, assistant professor of organizational behavior and leadership in Binghamton University’s School of Management. “People may be willing to sacrifice a bit in terms of performance in order to have a really positive team experience.”
Maupin and her colleagues focused on a group of MBA students to conduct their study. Students were randomly assigned to different teams to carry out class projects and assignments. Toward the end of the semester, students were asked to form their own teams. and evaluate why they selected each member of their group.
“To find out how students signaled to others that they might be someone who would be good to team up with in the future, we studied their use of either challenging or supportive voice,” Maupin said.
·Challenging voice: Communicating in a way that challenges the present situation and is focused on new ideas and efficiency.
·Supportive voice: Communicating in a way that strengthens social ties and trust, and builds friendly unity of a team.
The researchers found that students who exhibited both voices were the most in-demand people when it came to assembling teams. However, students who only used supportive voice to exhibit their friendliness and trustworthiness were more sought after than those who only signaled their competence through the use of challenging voice.
Maupin said the findings have major implications(影响) for the workplace. “People should realize the way they speak up can have a strong effect on informal teaming up at a later point and that supportive voice helps establish harmonious relationships and a sense of trust amongst individuals.”
12. Who are more likely to be selected into a team
A. Those willing to make sacrifices.
B. Those reliable and easy to get along with.
C. Those with ideal skill competence.
D. Those known for good personal reputation.
13. How did Maupin and her colleagues carry out the study
A. They assigned MBA students to different teams on purpose.
B. They studied college students’ cooperative competence.
C. They took a group of MBA students as research objects.
D. They studied MBA students’ use of challenging or cooperative voice.
14. What does the underlined word “signaled” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Replied. B. Demanded.
C. Promised. D. Displayed.
15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. The Secret to Assembling a Team
B. The Importance of Competence
C. Challenging Voice or Supportive Voice
D. Competent Teammates or Friendly Teammates
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项新的研究表明，在团队组建方面，最受欢迎的是既值得信赖又友好的人。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“However, those who are friendly and trustworthy are more likely to be selected than those who are known for just their skill competence and personal reputation, according to a new research from Binghamton University. (然而，根据宾厄姆顿大学的一项新研究，那些友好、值得信赖的人比那些仅以技能能力和个人声誉闻名的人更有可能被选中。)”可知，那些易于相处且可靠的人更受欢迎。故选B项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的“Maupin and her colleagues focused on a group of MBA students to conduct their study. Students were randomly assigned to different teams to carry out class projects and assignments. (莫平和她的同事们把注意力集中在一群MBA学生身上进行研究。学生被随机分配到不同的小组进行课堂项目和作业。)”可知，Maupin和她的同事们以一群MBA学生为研究对象。故选C项。
【14题详解】
词义猜测题。 根据划线词后文“they might be someone who would be good to team up with in the future, we studied their use of either challenging or supportive voice (他们将来可能是一个很好的合作伙伴，我们研究了他们对挑战的或支持的声音的使用)”可知，画线词所在句说的是为了弄清楚学生们是如何向别人表明他们将来可能是一个很好的合作伙伴，故划线词与displayed“展示”意义相近。故选D项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“When it comes to team assembly, people who are both trustworthy and competent are the most sought after. However, those who are friendly and trustworthy are more likely to be selected than those who are known for just their skill competence and personal reputation, according to a new research from Binghamton University. (在团队组建方面，最受欢迎的是既值得信赖又有能力的人。然而，根据宾厄姆顿大学的一项新研究，那些友好、值得信赖的人比那些仅以技能能力和个人声誉闻名的人更有可能被选中。)”可知，本文中的研究主要是围绕有能力的队员还是友好的队员展开的，故D项“有能力的队友还是友好的队友”适合作为文章的标题。故选D项。

He, an unemployed poor man, was driving his beat-up truck on a two-lane country road on a chilly night. Suddenly, he saw an old lady, whose car broke down on the side of the road. Even in the dim light of the night, he could see she needed help. So he pulled up in front of her car and got off.
Despite the smile on his face the old lady was worried. Was he going to hurt her He looked poor and hungry. He could see that she was frightened, “I’m here to help you, ma’am. Why don’t you wait in the car where it’s warm By the way, my name is Joe Anderson.”
Well, all she had was only a flat tire, but for an old lady, that was bad enough. Joe crawled under the car. Half an hour later, he finished changing the tire. But he got dirty and his hands hurt. She could not thank him enough and asked him how much money she owed him. He told her that if she really wanted to pay him back, the next time she saw someone who needed help, she could give the person the assistance he needed. He waited until she started her car and drove off. Then he left.
A few miles down the road the lady saw a small cafe. She went in to grab a bite to eat and take the chill off. The waitress noticed the lady’s we t hair and brought a clean towel to wipe it. She had a sweet smile, one that even being on her feet for the whole day couldn’t erase. The lady noticed the waitress was nearly eight months pregnant. She was curious and asked, “It’s too late and freezing cold. As a mother-to-be, why don’t you go home early ” “My husband is out of job, so I want to share the burden of supporting the family with him. Besides, I also want to help the people in need at night.” The old lady wondered how someone who had so little could be so giving to a stranger.

【答案】参考范文
Then, she remembered Joe and determined to spread the chain of love. She was about to pay the bill when a good idea struck her. While the waitress was away to get change for her, the old lady wrote something on the napkin and slipped right out of the door. The waitress was back and noticed it. Under the napkin were four new 100 dollars. It turned out that the lady wished her to accept the money from a stranger and that she would help others with the purpose of letting this chain of love remain.
Deeply moved, the waitress was eager to tell her husband Joe what had happened. Shortly after she took a warm bath, she climbed into bed, pouring out everything about the night——the lady, the money and the note. With baby due next month, it was indeed going to be hard for the couple. The money came as a relief to them. She gave her husband a soft kiss and whispered, “Everything is going to be all right. I love you, Joe.”
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Joe Anderson帮助了一个老太太，没有要求回报，只是希望她看到有人需要帮助时，她可以给予他们所需的帮助，将爱心传递下去。于是老太太帮助了一个餐厅的怀孕的女服务员，结果服务员正是Joe Anderson的妻子。

North American Train Routes for a Family Vacation

The short ride(between three and four hours) includes a trip along the beautiful Maine coastline. With five round-trips offered daily, it’s a great way for Massachusetts families to visit Maine for a day or longer. Many of these routes carry volunteers to aid passengers with questions about local attractions and destinations.

Both New York City and Pittsburgh are great family vacation destinations and the Pennsylvanian route takes you through the beautiful Pennsylvanian landscape between the two major cities.

When Steven Spielberg was a kid growing up in the 1950s in Arizona, watching westerns on his family’s 20-inch black-and-white TV, he would climb right up to the screen, as if to surround himself with the image. He also wished he could see these moving pictures in color. So he searched through his family’s collection of slides quickly, having learned that by holding one film or another up to the television screen he could turn grayed-out western skies blue, or the ground to a realistic-looking green. Sometimes his mom walked in, and saw him holding these slides up to both of his eyes, right next to the TV set. Often, she would say, “You’re going to burn your eyes out!”
Spielberg’s mom, like all the other 50s moms who said the same thing, was wrong about that. But we all know what she must have been thinking: Who is this child
If you’ve seen even just one Steven Spielberg movie in the past 50 years or so — Jaws, Schindler’s List, E. T-you have some sense of who this child grew up to be. And when you see his new film, The Fabelmans, a work of astonishing vividness that’s drawn from his own family’s story, you’ll know even more. Movies have been around for roughly 130 years; Spielberg’s career has covered more than a third of that. Yet The Fabelmans hardly feels like a late-career movie. It’s a bridge for a new beginning.
Not every 75-year-old filmmaker makes a movie like this. Of the ambitious young guys who remade Hollywood in the early 1970s, Spielberg is one of the few still making vital pictures at a consistent (一致的) clip. Yet his career is extraordinary in any context. He’s made some box-office disappointments, but naming a badly made Spielberg film is hard, probably because there isn’t one. No living filmmaker can match his devotion to craftsmanship, to finding new ways of showing us things we think we’ve seen a million times before.
4. How did Spielberg’s mom feel when she saw her son’s behav or in front of the TV set
A. Proud but upset. B. Surprised but supportive.
C. Worried and confused. D. Annoyed and desperate.
5. Which of the following is NOT a reason why Spielberg’s career is regarded as extraordinary
A. He is devoted to filming ordinary things from new angles.
B. He showed great interest in filming at a very young age.
C. His career covers more than a third of the movie history.
D. All his films are probably well-made despite some box-office disappointments.
6. What can be inferred about Spielberg’s new film The Fabelmans
A. It’s the most outstanding film he has ever made in his career.
B. It has been related to part of his growing experience.
C. It represents a totally brand-new type of film theme.
D. It established Spielberg as the most influential filmmaker.
7. What is the purpose of the text
A. To introduce a giant in film-making.
B. To demonstrate how to dare to be different.
C. To indicate curiosity makes success.
D. To recommend a pioneering new film.
C
To write his 2010 book, The 5-Factor World Diet, nutritionist Harley Pasternak traveled to the healthiest countries around the world to learn more about what made their meals extra nourishing.
He noted that Japanese people ate a wonderful variety of seaweeds, and that Chinese people tried to include at least five different colors in every meal. Pasternak also came away with some valuable observations about how different the North American way of life was, compared with many other countries.
For starters, Americans eat much bigger portions than people in other countries. “We don’t prioritize eating seasonally or locally, and we also add lots of salt, sugar and thickening agents to our foods,” explained Pasternak. Contrast that with the healthy Mediterranean, Nordic and Okinawan diets listed in Pasternak’s book. They all seem to stick to the ethos (特质) of regional, seasonal produce.
For example, a traditional Mediterranean diet includes fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts and olive oil as the main components of nutritional intake. Fish, chicken and red wine make moderate appearances, while red meat, salt and sugar are used much less often. The benefits of a traditional Mediterranean diet have been studied since the 1970s, and researchers have found that living that olive oil life can help people lose weight, lower their heart disease risk and reverse (逆转) diabetes.
Most other health y eating cultures also make meals an event — say, multiple courses around the family table, or a glass or two of red wine at a long lunch — as opposed to hastily (匆忙地) wolfing down handfuls of cereal above the kitchen sink and calling it dinner.
Each of the healthy eating cultures has its own unique feature. But Pasternak did take note of one unifying factor in all of the healthy societies he observed. “The only overlapping feature in most of these healthy countries is that they all walk way more than the average American,” said. Pasternak. “So really, regardless of what you’re eating, if someone walks four miles more than you each day, they’re going to be a lot thinner and live a lot longer than you.”
8. Which of the following characterizes Japanese and Chinese foods
A. Color. B. Flavor. C. Diversity. D. Taste.
9. What can we know from paragraphs 3 and 4
A. Americans focus more on nutrition and flavor in the way of eating.
B. Americans tend to healthily eat quite a lot in the way of eating.
C. Mediterranean, Nordic and Okinawan diets prioritize local, seasonal produce.
D. Diabetes or lung disease patients had better live an olive oil life.
10. What is the similarity among people in most healthy eating cultures
A. They attach great importance to their meals.
B. They always eat their meals regularly and timely.
C. They get the whole family to eat around the table.
D. They consume plenty of cereal hastily for dinner.
11. What can we learn about people in healthy societies from the last paragraph
A. They walk considerably more. B. They go on a diet to live longer.
C. They care more about body shape. D. They consume more organic food.
D
When it comes to team assembly (团队组建), people who are both trustworthy and competent are the most sought after. However, those who are friendly and trustworthy are more likely to be selected than those who are known for just their skill competence and personal reputation, according to a new research from Binghamton University.
“We assume that people are selected for important tasks due to their knowledge skills and abilities. However, this research suggests that people may often get picked because team members feel comfortable with them,” said Cynthia Maupin, assistant professor of organizational behavior and leadership in Binghamton University’s School of Management. “People may be willing to sacrifice a bit in terms of performance in order to have a really positive team experience.”
Maupin and her colleagues focused on a group of MBA students to conduct their study. Students were randomly assigned to different teams to carry out class projects and assignments. Toward the end of the semester, students were asked to form their own teams. and evaluate why they selected each member of their group.
“To find out how students signaled to others that they might be someone who would be good to team up with in the future, we studied their use of either challenging or supportive voice,” Maupin said.
·Challenging voice: Communicating in a way that challenges the present situation and is focused on new ideas and efficiency.
·Supportive voice: Communicating in a way that strengthens social ties and trust, and builds friendly unity of a team.
The researchers found that students who exhibited both voices were the most in-demand people when it came to assembling teams. However, students who only used supportive voice to exhibit their friendliness and trustworthiness were more sought after than those who only signaled their competence through the use of challenging voice.
Maupin said the findings have major implications(影响) for the workplace. “People should realize the way they speak up can have a strong effect on informal teaming up at a later point and that supportive voice helps establish harmonious relationships and a sense of trust amongst individuals.”
12. Who are more likely to be selected into a team
A. Those willing to make sacrifices.
B. Those reliable and easy to get along with.
