阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
The least-visited countries in the world
It’s every traveler’s dream — a corner of the planet still undisturbed by tourists. And obviously, such places do exist. The United Nations World Tourism Organization lately reported the four least-visited countries globally.
Liechtenstein (69,000)
The sixth smallest country in the world is also one of the most undiscovered.
Lying between Austria and Switzerland, Liechtenstein is an outdoor enthusiast’s playground. It’s the only country in the world to be totally in the Alps and a summer destination for hiking and cycling and snow-covered skiing perfection in winter, for those who can afford it.
French Guiana (199,000)
French Guiana is the least-visited country in South America, with some of the world’s most diverse plant and animal life.
While there is much to attract tourists to the area, not least its miles of jungle, the construction is in need of some attention.
Montserrat (9,000)
Once a popular holiday spot, this Lesser Antilles island has never quite recovered from a series of natural disasters. Hurricane Hugo in 1989 hit 90 per cent of the island and in 1995 the Soufriere Hills volcano erupted.
These days, its volcano is now actually one of Montserra’s main attractions, together with its beautiful beaches. Visitors can also go diving in its clear waters.
Comoros (24,000)
This collection of islands in the Indian Ocean near Madagascar serves as the perfect destination for those who want to get away from everyday city life.
Comoros offers beautiful volcanic scenery, fruitful forests, and remote sleepy towns. There are even some of the best undiscovered reefs(礁) just waiting to be explored by divers.
1 Which country is the best choice for snow skiing lovers
A. Montserrat. B. Comoros.
C. Liechtenstein. D. French Guiana.
2. What do we know about French Guiana
A. It has a rich diversity of species.
B. Its construction is new and advanced.
C. It is the least-visited country in the world.
D. Its most popular attraction is large areas of jungle.
3. What do Montserrat and Comoros have in common
A. They have thick forests.
B. They are destinations for divers.
C. They have recovered from natural disasters.
D. They were badly destroyed by volcanic eruptions.
B
A year back I received a full scholarship to attend the University of San Francisco. All of my hard work had paid off. My mom had spent a lot in my attending a private high school, so I made sure to push myself: I volunteered, joined different clubs, and graduated with honors.
I was so excited to start a new life. I had totally packed two weeks and wanted to go to college at once before it was time to leave.
Soon enough, the big day came, but it wasn’t like what I had thought. The first two weeks were the most difficult days of my entire life. Every night I would cry myself to sleep.
I was so homesick (想家) and I didn’t know how to deal with my broken heart. To distract myself, I threw myself into my studies and I applied for a lot of jobs. In any remaining free time, I started forcing myself to the gym. I wanted to keep every part of my day busy so I wouldn’t think how lonely I felt.
Soon after, I began to limit food, and then I became worse. Finally, I went to see a doctor. When the doctor weighed me, I was crazy about the number of my weight. So I continued to lower my goal, and convinced that controlling this number was the solution to my homesickness. But when I was told that I had no choice but to spend time on my studies. I quickly started recovery in my mind.
How could I do I told myself that school was what I was best at. I decided to get rid of my homesickness and took exercise actively. My first term of college had passed by at last and I had gotten straight A’s. That’s why I want to share my story—to help other students feel less lonely.
4. How was the author during the two weeks before she left for the college
A. She was as normal as before.
B. She couldn’t wait to leave for the college.
C She was afraid to leave her home.
D. She didn’t enjoy her mother’s company.
5. What is the author’s problem at the beginning of studying in the university
A. Her weight. B. Her diet.
C. Her homesickness. D. Her bad study habit.
6. Which can best replace the underlined phrase “distract myself” in paragraph 2
A. achieve my dream B. earn money by myself
C. improve my studies D. take my attention away
7. What is the main purpose of the author in writing the text
A. To look back at her past middle school life.
B. To help girls to lose weight.
C. To help lonely college students.
D. To increase her own confidence.
C
Bioluminescence (生物发光) is a natural phenomenon wherein a chemical reaction within an organism’s body produces light. It can be found in many places in nature — fireflies, some mushrooms — but mostly in the deep sea.
Recently, Rambouillet, a small historic French town, has teamed up with a company called Glowee to turn the city into a full-scale bioluminescence laboratory. The goal is to change the way in which cities use light. The company uses marine (海的) bacteria harvested from the coast of France. It makes some of the town’s public light up in the cool blue of bioluminescence.
These bioluminescent bacteria are stored in a seawater filled tube, giving the bacteria room to float around and light up. The light provided by the bacteria is part of their natural metabolism, so producing the light requires no energy other than that which is needed to feed the organisms. This makes it much more environmentally friendly and sustainable than electric light, which consumes a huge amount of non-renewable energy.
“On the way to lighting up the world with bioluminescence, you have to feed the bacteria and add water as they grow. That’s not so easy. The phenomenon will be very temperature-dependent and I doubt that it will work in the winter. Also, bioluminescence is not very bright compared to electrical lighting, though they have improved the light intensity,” Carl Johnson, a professor from Vanderbilt University said.
One potential solution to these issues — and one that Glowee is looking into — is to remove the biological aspect of the whole process. Theoretically, luciferase (荧光素酶) can be removed from the bacteria and used to create light instead of the bacteria itself. Because luciferase is non-living, it doesn’t need to be fed. Creating new means of sustainable lighting is a way of being environmentally friendly without plunging the earth back into darkness.
8. What do we know about Glowee
A. It is an ancient laboratory in France.
B. It solves power shortages in coastal cities.
C. It adopts bioluminescence as a light source.
D. It feeds marine organisms to produce chemicals.
9. What does Paragraph 3 mainly focus on
A. The reasons for energy waste.
B. The advantages of the marine bacteria as light.
C. The living conditions of the bioluminescent bacteria.
D. The difficulties of storing bioluminescent organisms.
10. What does Carl Johnson convey in his words
A. The bacteria work more efficiently under low temperatures.
B. It will cost too much to improve the luminescence intensity.
C. The application of bioluminescence enjoys a bright prospect.
D. The development of bioluminescence faces many challenges.
11. What could be the best title of this text
A. A Historic Town Lit up by Nature
B. The First Zero-carbon City in the World
C. A Reform of Producing Electricity in Cities
D. The Discovery of Luciferase in Marine Bacteria
D
Blind imitation is self-destruction. To those who do not recognize their unique worth, imitation appears attractive; to those who know their strength, imitation is unacceptable.
In the early stages of skill or character development, imitation is helpful. When I first learned to cook, I used recipes and turned out some tasty dishes. But soon I grew bored. Why follow someone else’s way of cooking when I could create my own Imitating role modelsis like using training wheels on a child’s bicycle; they help you get going, but once you find your own balance, you fly faster and farther without relying on them.
In daily life, imitation can hurt us if we subconsciously (下意识地) hold poor role models. If, as a child, you observed people whose lives were bad, you may have accepted their fear and pain as normal and gone on to follow what they did. If you do not make strong choices for yourself, you will get the results of the weak choices of others.
In the field of entertainment, our culture glorifies celebrities. Those stars look great on screen. But when they step off screen, their personal lives may be disastrous. If you are going to follow someone, focus on their talent, not their bad character or unacceptable behaviors.
Blessed is the person willing to act on their sudden desire to create something unique. Think of the movies, books, teachers, and friends that have affected you most deeply. They touched you because their creations were motivated by inspiration, not desperation. The world is changed not by those who do what has been done before them, but by those who do what has been done inside them. Creative people have an endless resource of ideas. The problem a creator faces is not running out of material; it is what to do with the material knocking at the door of imagination.
Study your role models, accept the gifts they have given, and leave behind what does not serve. Then you can say, “I stand on the shoulders of my ancestors’ tragedies and declare victory, and know that they are cheering on.”
12. Imitation proves useful when you ________.
A. know you are unique
B. lose the balance of life
C. begin to learn something new
D. get tired of routine practice
13. According to the author, the world moves on because of those who are ________.
A. desperate to influence others with their knowledge
B. ready to turn their original ideas into reality
C. eager to discover what their ancestors did
D. willing to accept others’ ideas
14. The trouble a creator faces is ________.
A. the lack of strong motivation
B. the absence of practical ideas
C. how to search for more materials
D. how to use imagination creatively
15. What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage
A. To highlight the importance of creativity.
B. To criticize the characters of role models.
C. To compare imitation with creation.
D. To explain the meaning of success.

As a young boy, I was innocent. Every vacation I looked forward to two things-seeing my grandpa and hearing his wonderful stories. My grandpa was a very good storyteller. He had worked various jobs when he was young and wove ( 编 织)his adventures and misadventures into fantastic tales. These wonderful tales colored my childhood.
As I grew up, I had to admit that Grandpa's stories went on a little long, even a little boring and gradually lost their magic. However, not wanting to upset him, my brother and I would sometimes take turns sitting in the living room, listening to grandpa tell his stories.
When my grandpa was approaching 91, he suffered from serious memory-loss.It was kind of what doctors called dementia (痴呆),probably the earliest stage of Alzheimer's disease. Following the doctor's directions, we moved him into a Sunrise Assisted Living Community, where he could get a better care. After that,grandpa hardly came to our house.
One weekend before my grandpa's birthday, I came to visit him. Seeing grandpa sitting in his armchair, dull-looking, I was filled with mixed feelings. I wheeled grandpa to the sunshine in the courtyard, talking to him. He couldn't express himself clearly and spoke in short bursts, but I listened to him patiently and carefully just as I used to be a little boy.
It was then that I noticed a shadow box with some old and yellowish photos in it. I picked one up, in which my brother, several boys in our neighborhood, and I were playing basketball, wearing basketball jerseys (球衣), with grandpa cheering us on ten years before.

A year back I received a full scholarship to attend the University of San Francisco. All of my hard work had paid off. My mom had spent a lot in my attending a private high school, so I made sure to push myself: I volunteered, joined different clubs, and graduated with honors.
I was so excited to start a new life. I had totally packed two weeks and wanted to go to college at once before it was time to leave.
Soon enough, the big day came, but it wasn’t like what I had thought. The first two weeks were the most difficult days of my entire life. Every night I would cry myself to sleep.
I was so homesick (想家) and I didn’t know how to deal with my broken heart. To distract myself, I threw myself into my studies and I applied for a lot of jobs. In any remaining free time, I started forcing myself to the gym. I wanted to keep every part of my day busy so I wouldn’t think how lonely I felt.
Soon after, I began to limit food, and then I became worse. Finally, I went to see a doctor. When the doctor weighed me, I was crazy about the number of my weight. So I continued to lower my goal, and convinced that controlling this number was the solution to my homesickness. But when I was told that I had no choice but to spend time on my studies. I quickly started recovery in my mind.
How could I do I told myself that school was what I was best at. I decided to get rid of my homesickness and took exercise actively. My first term of college had passed by at last and I had gotten straight A’s. That’s why I want to share my story—to help other students feel less lonely.

5. What is the author’s problem at the beginning of studying in the university

7. What is the main purpose of the author in writing the text

Bioluminescence (生物发光) is a natural phenomenon wherein a chemical reaction within an organism’s body produces light. It can be found in many places in nature — fireflies, some mushrooms — but mostly in the deep sea.
Recently, Rambouillet, a small historic French town, has teamed up with a company called Glowee to turn the city into a full-scale bioluminescence laboratory. The goal is to change the way in which cities use light. The company uses marine (海的) bacteria harvested from the coast of France. It makes some of the town’s public light up in the cool blue of bioluminescence.
These bioluminescent bacteria are stored in a seawater filled tube, giving the bacteria room to float around and light up. The light provided by the bacteria is part of their natural metabolism, so producing the light requires no energy other than that which is needed to feed the organisms. This makes it much more environmentally friendly and sustainable than electric light, which consumes a huge amount of non-renewable energy.
“On the way to lighting up the world with bioluminescence, you have to feed the bacteria and add water as they grow. That’s not so easy. The phenomenon will be very temperature-dependent and I doubt that it will work in the winter. Also, bioluminescence is not very bright compared to electrical lighting, though they have improved the light intensity,” Carl Johnson, a professor from Vanderbilt University said.
One potential solution to these issues — and one that Glowee is looking into — is to remove the biological aspect of the whole process. Theoretically, luciferase (荧光素酶) can be removed from the bacteria and used to create light instead of the bacteria itself. Because luciferase is non-living, it doesn’t need to be fed. Creating new means of sustainable lighting is a way of being environmentally friendly without plunging the earth back into darkness.
8. What do we know about Glowee
A. It is an ancient laboratory in France.
B. It solves power shortages in coastal cities.
C. It adopts bioluminescence as a light source.
D. It feeds marine organisms to produce chemicals.
9. What does Paragraph 3 mainly focus on
A. The reasons for energy waste.
B. The advantages of the marine bacteria as light.
C. The living conditions of the bioluminescent bacteria.
D. The difficulties of storing bioluminescent organisms.
10. What does Carl Johnson convey in his words
A. The bacteria work more efficiently under low temperatures.
B It will cost too much to improve the luminescence intensity.
C. The application of bioluminescence enjoys a bright prospect.
D. The development of bioluminescence faces many challenges.
11. What could be the best title of this text
A. A Historic Town Lit up by Nature
B. The First Zero-carbon City in the World
C. A Reform of Producing Electricity in Cities
D. The Discovery of Luciferase in Marine Bacteria
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. A
【解析】

Blind imitation is self-destruction. To those who do not recognize their unique worth, imitation appears attractive; to those who know their strength, imitation is unacceptable.
In the early stages of skill or character development, imitation is helpful. When I first learned to cook, I used recipes and turned out some tasty dishes. But soon I grew bored. Why follow someone else’s way of cooking when I could create my own Imitating role modelsis like using training wheels on a child’s bicycle; they help you get going, but once you find your own balance, you fly faster and farther without relying on them.
In daily life, imitation can hurt us if we subconsciously (下意识地) hold poor role models. If, as a child, you observed people whose lives were bad, you may have accepted their fear and pain as normal and gone on to follow what they did. If you do not make strong choices for yourself, you will get the results of the weak choices of others.
In the field of entertainment, our culture glorifies celebrities. Those stars look great on screen. But when they step off screen, their personal lives may be disastrous. If you are going to follow someone, focus on their talent, not their bad character or unacceptable behaviors.
Blessed is the person willing to act on their sudden desire to create something unique. Think of the movies, books, teachers, and friends that have affected you most deeply. They touched you because their creations were motivated by inspiration, not desperation. The world is changed not by those who do what has been done before them, but by those who do what has been done inside them. Creative people have an endless resource of ideas. The problem a creator faces is not running out of material; it is what to do with the material knocking at the door of imagination.
Study your role models, accept the gifts they have given, and leave behind what does not serve. Then you can say, “I stand on the shoulders of my ancestors’ tragedies and declare victory, and know that they are cheering on.”
12. Imitation proves useful when you ________.
A. know you are unique
B. lose the balance of life
C. begin to learn something new
D. get tired of routine practice
13. According to the author, the world moves on because of those who are ________.
A. desperate to influence others with their knowledge
B. ready to turn their original ideas into reality
C. eager to discover what their ancestors did
D. willing to accept others’ ideas
14. The trouble a creator faces is ________.
A. the lack of strong motivation
B. the absence of practical ideas
C. how to search for more materials
D. how to use imagination creatively
15. What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage
A. To highlight the importance of creativity.
B. To criticize the characters of role models.
C. To compare imitation with creation.
D. To explain the meaning of success.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文，文章讨论了要创新，不要盲目模仿。
【12题详解】

【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中的“Blessed is the person willing to act on their sudden desire to create something unique. Think of the movies, books, teachers, and friends that have affected you most deeply. They touched you because their creations were motivated by inspiration, not desperation. (愿意按照他们突然的渴望去创造一些独特的东西的人是幸运的。想想那些对你影响最深的电影、书籍、老师和朋友。他们之所以能够打动你是因为他们的创作是基于灵感而不是绝望)”可知，根据作者的观点，世界因为那些准备把他们的原始想法变成现实的人而前进。故选B。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中的“Creative people have an endless resource of ideas. The problem a creator faces is not running out of material; it is what to do with the material knocking at the door of imagination. (有创造力的人有无穷无尽的想法。创作者面临的问题不是没有素材；而是关于如何处理敲响想象之门的材料)”可知，创造者面临的问题是如何创造性地运用想象力。故选D。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Blind imitation is self-destruction. To those who do not recognize their unique worth, imitation appears attractive; to those who know their strength, imitation is unacceptable. (盲目模仿是自我毁灭。对于那些认不出自己独特价值的人来说，模仿显得很有吸引力；对于那些知道自己实力的人来说，模仿是不可接受的)”及下文的论述可知，文章的主要目的是强调要创新，不要盲目模仿。故选A。

“Don’t judge a book by its cover”, the popular saying goes. “All that glitters is not gold” is another.
____16____is a third. What do they have in common？They remind us that something’s appearance should not be the most important thing when determining its value. The message is that we should value ourselves for who we are—accept our shortcomings and stop judging ourselves against our imperfections.
But it’s easier said than done. Many people still feel insecure about themselves and their appearance because it may not measure up to the standard of perfection. ___17___
Learn to accept praise. ___18___ Don’t push it away or play it down. And praise others too. If you think someone looks nice，or someone has a good idea，tell them. It can lift them up.
____19____We’re surrounded by these perfect images of what it is to be beautiful. That comparing only creates，a standard we think we need to pursue and leads to feelings of disappointment if we aren't up to the standard.
Appreciate your body for what it can do—walking, yoga, playing sport or otherwise. You can be an incredible human regardless of your shape or size. Attend the gym and realize how strong and capable your body is, even though it may be fat.
Finally, the only person who can truly affect your body positivity is you. Becoming comfortable with yourself is unlikely to be accomplished overnight, but don't give up. Remember that everyone is insecure sometimes. ___20___Love what you look like.
A. “Birds of a feather flock together.”
B. “Fine feathers do not make fine birds”
C. When someone says something nice, embrace it

Regular Exercise, Energetic Life
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Regular Exercise, Energetic Life
It goes without saying that physical education is of great benefit to our heath. However, as far as I am concerned, the situation is not so optimistic in our school. Many a student tends to skip PE classes and chooses to stay in the classroom, which is unacceptable.
As we all know, exercising on a regular basis can energize our body, so that our learning efficiency can be improved. Additionally, exercising makes us energetic, helping us avoid being sleepy in class and keep away from certain diseases. Lastly, by overcoming difficulties during exercise, we can be stronger both physically and mentally, and more willing to accept challenges.
Let’s engage ourselves in sports! Make a change now, and you will become better in the future.

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。
As a young boy, I was innocent. Every vacation I looked forward to two things-seeing my grandpa and hearing his wonderful stories. My grandpa was a very good storyteller. He had worked various jobs when he was young and wove ( 编 织)his adventures and misadventures into fantastic tales. These wonderful tales colored my childhood.
As I grew up, I had to admit that Grandpa's stories went on a little long, even a little boring and gradually lost their magic. However, not wanting to upset him, my brother and I would sometimes take turns sitting in the living room, listening to grandpa tell his stories.
When my grandpa was approaching 91, he suffered from serious memory-loss.It was kind of what doctors called dementia (痴呆),probably the earliest stage of Alzheimer's disease. Following the doctor's directions, we moved him into a Sunrise Assisted Living Community, where he could get a better care. After that,grandpa hardly came to our house.
One weekend before my grandpa's birthday, I came to visit him. Seeing grandpa sitting in his armchair, dull-looking, I was filled with mixed feelings. I wheeled grandpa to the sunshine in the courtyard, talking to him. He couldn't express himself clearly and spoke in short bursts, but I listened to him patiently and carefully just as I used to be a little boy.
It was then that I noticed a shadow box with some old and yellowish photos in it. I picked one up, in which my brother, several boys in our neighborhood, and I were playing basketball, wearing basketball jerseys (球衣), with grandpa cheering us on ten years before.

【答案】One possible version:
My mind flashed back to those beautiful memories. Back then, Grandpa was in good physical condition. After school, my friends and I would play basketball with him. He was happy like a child. Sometimes, he just sat there watching us, cheering and laughing. In my heart, not only was he my grandpa but also my best friend,a most important person in my life. With his company, I enjoyed a sweet childhood. How I wished we could go back to the past!
A bright idea for grandpa's birthday came to my mind. "Why not bring the old days back to grandpa "I thought to myself. In the following days, I bought the same basketball jerseys and arranged a similar-looking basketball court. The big day finally came. All the family members put on a special memory-recalling basketball game.The "same players" on the court, running and laughing, reminded grandpa of something. He cheered and clapped, with a big smile. I was overjoyed to see the spark in his eyes.
