Here are some of the movies that inspire you to travel.
The Lord of the Rings
The story is about Frodo, his friends and their adventurous journey through Middle-earth. Filmed in about 150 locations all over New Zealand, this travel movie shows its beauty. From the rolling hills of Matamata to the volcanic region of Mt Ruapehu, this is the best movie to see New Zealand. Also, this travel movie might have the only distinction of being inspired by travel. The director of the movie Peter Jackson first read the novel on a train going from Wellington to Auckland when he was just seventeen.
Indiana Jones: The Complete Adventure Collection
Indiana Jones and travel are inseparable. Everyone remembers the red line on the world map that shows up on screen when he flies. The Egypt scenes in Raiders of the Lost Ark were filmed in Tunisia. Temple of Doom was filmed mostly in Sri Lanka and Macau. Last Crusade was filmed in Italy, Spain and Jordan including an excellent view of Petra. Unlike the other films, Kingdom of the Crystal Skull was filmed almost entirely in the United States. However, their shots of Iguazu Falls are amazing.
Romancing the Stone and The Jewel of the Nile
This movie series focuses on a romantic writer Joan and her adventures with a soldier of fortune named Jack. In Romancing the Stone Joan goes to Colombia to save her sister who is kidnapped. In the sequel (续集) Joan goes to the fictional kingdom of Kadir in the Middle East. Romancing the Stone’s scenes were shot mostly in Mexico. For The Jewel of the Nile, the scenes were mostly shot in France and Morocco.
The Talented Mr. Ripley
Tom Ripley is a working class young man. Through a case of mistaken identity, he is asked to go to Italy to convince a wealthy businessman’s son to come home. This travel movie starts in New York and heads to the fictional resort of Monticello. The last section of the movie is filmed mostly in Rome and Naples. The locations are beautiful.

I have a special place in my heart for libraries. I have for as long as I can remember. I was always an enthusiastic reader, sometimes reading up to three books a day as a child. Stories were like air to me and while other kids played ball or went to parties, I lived out adventures through the books I checked out from the library.
My first job was working at the Ukiah Library when I was 16 years old .It was a dream job and I did everything from shelving books to reading to the children for story time.
As I grew older and became a mother, the library took on a new place and an added meaning in my life. I had several children and books were our main source(来源) of entertainment. It was a big deal for us to load up and go to the local library, where my kids could pick out books to read or books they wanted me to read to them.
I always read ,using different voices ,as though I were acting out the stories with my voice and they loved it !It was a special time to bond with my children and it filled them with the wonderment of books .
Now, I see my children taking their children to the library and I love that the excitement of going to the library lives on form generation to generation.
As a novelist, I’ve found a new relationship with libraries. I encourage readers to go to their local library when they can’t afford to purchase a book. I see libraries as a safe haven(避风港) for readers and writers, a bridge that helps put together a reader with a book. Libraries, in their own way, help fight book piracy(盗版行为) and 1 think all writers should support libraries in a significant way when they can. Encourage readers to use the library. Share library announcements on your social media. Frequent them and talk about them when you can.
24. Which word best describes the author’s relationship with books as a child
A. Cooperative. B. Uneasy. C. Inseparable. D. Casual.
25. What does the underlined phrase “an added meaning” in paragraph 3 refer to

C. Wonderment from acting out the stories.
D. A closer bond developed with the readers.
26. What does the author call on other writers to do
A. Sponsor book fairs. B. Write for social media.
C. Support libraries. D. Purchase her novels.
27. Which can be a suitable title for the text

C. Library: A Haven for the Young
D. My Love of the Library

Have you ever had a food that you tasted and you immediately disliked Maybe it was broccoli, dark chocolate, or cottage cheese. Maybe you were “encouraged” to try the food again, and then one of those times you actually liked it. Many people have had this experience. While tastes are developed at a young age, they can be changed, which depends on a person’s desire to try.
Researchers at the University of Birmingham released a study that showed people have a flavor window. The flavor window is open for four-to-six-month-old babies. During this time, it is easier to get babies to try a food they have not previously tasted. As they grow up, the flavor window slowly closes, leaving most of them dubious of new foods.
However, the flavor window closing at a young age doesn’t mean it can’t be reopened. A study found that if babies are introduced to a new food 5 to 10 times, they can grow to like it. That amount goes up as children grow older. Ultimately, the study came to the conclusion that the flavor window may never be completely shut.
Being willing to try a new food repeatedly is necessary to open a person’s flavor window again. Each attempt will lessen the natural unwillingness of something new. Eventually, “not bad” can turn into “pretty good”. One method for inspiring courage to try new foods multiple times is testing different ingredients. Adding an ingredient-sugar or salt, perhaps-that one enjoys, might make an unappealing food more appealing. Once the person has trained him or herself to like the food, the added ingredient may not be necessary.
Overcoming a dislike of a particular food requires tasting a food in different ways and at different times. In spite of strange smells, odd textures, or distinctive flavors, a person has the ability to acquire a true liking for even the most unique and unusual foods. So don’t give up-you never know when you might surprise yourself and discover that broccoli is your new favorite food!
28. What does the study find about babies
A. Babies are naturally unwilling to try new foods.
B Babies develop a favorite food if they eat that food many times.
C. Babies are more likely to accept new foods when the flavor window is open.
D. Babies who are not exposed to new foods will experience a narrow flavor window.
29. What does the underlined word in paragraph 2 mean
A. Greedy. B. Doubtful. C. Impatient. D. Bored.
30. Why does the author include paragraph 4 in the text
A. To explain how adding sugar or salt improves the taste of foods
B. To highlight that there is no reason why people stop trying new foods.
C. To warn that people may have difficulty preparing new foods properly.
D. To suggest that people can expand their flavor preferences with time and effort.
31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Don’t give up on broccoli. B. Try new foods before it is too late.
C. Ways to reopen your flavor window. D. A new study about your eating habits.
D
Did you know that a drop of your blood can predict disease you may develop in the future This is possible through genetic testing. The most common type of genetic testing is called “newborn screening”, which is done to find treatable genetic disorders in newborn babies. In many countries, babies are screened in the hospital shortly after they are born. Although it is unusual to find that a baby has a genetic disorder, those that do have a disorder start receiving treatment right away.
Another type of genetic testing is called “predictive gene testing”. This is used to predict an adult’s risk of developing certain diseases later in life. There are many obvious advantages. A negative test can help people feel really relaxed. Jen Thomson, who recently underwent predictive gene testing for lung cancer, explains, “So many people in my family died of lung cancer, which has made me really worried. When the test came back negative, I felt as if someone had lifted a large weight off my shoulders.”
There are also some controversial downsides to genetic testing. Alzheimer's disease runs in An Lee's family. Ann has decided to get genetic testing to see if she is likely to develop it. However, her husband Bao is not happy about her decision. Bao explains, “If the result is positive ,how will it help to know that she will probably develop the disease If I had the Alzheimer's gene, I wouldn't want to know.” Another problem is that even if someone tests positively for a disease, it doesn't mean that they will surely develop the disease. So a person could spend years worrying about something that will never happen.
32. According to the passage, newborn screening is done ________.
A. to see if a baby is healthy B. to predict the baby’s growth
C. to treat any disorder in the baby D. to find out the baby's gene order
33. What was the problem with Jen Thomson
A. She had developed lung cancer. B. Something was wrong with her shoulders.
C. She was afraid of developing lung cancer. D. All her family members died of lung cancer.
34. Which word can best describe Bao's feeling
A. Satisfied. B. Doubtful. C. Uncaring. D. Happy.
35. What is the purpose of this text
A. To give a description of Alzheimer's disease. B. To encourage people to take genetic testing.
C To tell people something about genetic testing. D. To point out the problems of genetic testing.

67. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
The other day I was travelling to San Antonio by train to visit my sister. The train was a little crowded and there was a young man sitting next to the window. Since it was a hot day, I wanted that window seat more than anything else at that time. As a young lady, I thought the young man would give me the seat if I asked him. So I smiled at him and asked whether he could give up his seat and take another one. To my surprise, he said that he needed that seat and refused my request. I had no choice but to take the seat next to him.
The train was crossing station after station. The weather was so hot that the scenery(风景) outside the window could not attract my interest I had nothing to do, so I started to focus my attention on the young man and stare at him up and down. He wore a blue shirt and there was a shawl(披巾) on his legs. He did not even rise from his seat once, which made me feel a little bit strange. Moreover, only a madman would use a shawl in such hot weather, I thought.
After the five-hour long journey, the train arrived at the final stop. I picked up my bag and stood up, waiting for the door to open. I gave a neglectful (不经意的) look at the young man and asked, “The train has arrived at the final station. Are you not getting off ” Hearing my words, he began to smile at me and said in a calm voice, “Someone has to come for me and take me off the train because I can’t do it by myself. ”I gave my full attention to his legs, only to find there was nothing under that shawl!

细节理解题。根据第二段中“During this time it is easier to get babies to try a food they have not previously tasted.(在这段时间里，更容易让婴儿尝试他们以前没有尝过的食物。)”可知，婴儿在味觉窗口开放期更容易接受没有尝过的食物。故选C项
【29题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第二段中“As they grow up, the flavor window slowly closes, leaving most of them dubious of new foods. (随着他们的成长，味觉窗口慢慢关闭，让他们中的大多数人对新食物持怀疑态度。)”可知，随着婴儿长大，味觉窗口逐渐关闭，他们对没有尝过的食物就不再容易接受，保持怀疑的态度。所以划线单词意思是“怀疑的”，故选B项。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“Being willing to try a new food repeatedly is necessary to open a person’s flavor window again. Each attempt will lessen the natural unwillingness of something new. Eventually, “not bad” can turn into “pretty good”. (愿意反复尝试一种新的食物是再次打开一个人的味觉窗口的必要条件。每一次尝试都会减少对新事物的自然不情愿。最终，“不错”可以变成“相当不错”。)”可知，本段的目的是让人们知道，可以通过反复尝试和训练打开味觉之窗，也就是说人们可以通过时间和努力来扩大他们的口味偏好。故选D项。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。文章主要介绍了味觉窗口的研究，它告诉人们，我们通过努力和尝试，可以重新打开味觉窗口，让我们重新爱上以前难以接受的食物。C选项“重新打开你的味觉窗口的方法。”符合文章主旨，故选C项。
D
Did you know that a drop of your blood can predict disease you may develop in the future This is possible through genetic testing. The most common type of genetic testing is called “newborn screening”, which is done to find treatable genetic disorders in newborn babies. In many countries, babies are screened in the hospital shortly after they are born. Although it is unusual to find that a baby has a genetic disorder, those that do have a disorder start receiving treatment right away.
Another type of genetic testing is called “predictive gene testing”. This is used to predict an adult’s risk of developing certain diseases later in life. There are many obvious advantages. A negative test can help people feel really relaxed. Jen Thomson, who recently underwent predictive gene testing for lung cancer, explains, “So many people in my family died of lung cancer, which has made me really worried. When the test came back negative, I felt as if someone had lifted a large weight off my shoulders.”
There are also some controversial downsides to genetic testing. Alzheimer's disease runs in An Lee's family. Ann has decided to get genetic testing to see if she is likely to develop it. However, her husband Bao is not happy about her decision. Bao explains, “If the result is positive ,how will it help to know that she will probably develop the disease If I had the Alzheimer's gene, I wouldn't want to know.” Another problem is that even if someone tests positively for a disease, it doesn't mean that they will surely develop the disease. So a person could spend years worrying about something that will never happen.
32. According to the passage, newborn screening is done ________.
A. to see if a baby is healthy B. to predict the baby’s growth
C. to treat any disorder in the baby D. to find out the baby's gene order
33. What was the problem with Jen Thomson
A. She had developed lung cancer. B. Something was wrong with her shoulders.
C. She was afraid of developing lung cancer. D. All her family members died of lung cancer.
34. Which word can best describe Bao's feeling
A. Satisfied. B. Doubtful. C. Uncaring. D. Happy.
35. What is the purpose of this text
A. To give a description of Alzheimer's disease. B. To encourage people to take genetic testing.
C. To tell people something about genetic testing. D. To point out the problems of genetic testing.
【答案】32. A 33. C 34. B 35. C
【解析】

【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“The most common type of genetic testing is called ‘newborn screening’, which is done to find treatable genetic disorders in newborn babies.(最常见的基因检测被称为‘新生儿筛查’，其目的是在新生儿中发现可治疗的遗传疾病。)”可知，新生儿筛查是为了检查婴儿是否健康。故选A。

推理判断题。根据最后一段中“If the result is positive ,how will it help to know that she will probably develop the disease If I had the Alzheimer's gene, I wouldn't want to know.(如果结果是阳性的，那么知道她可能会得这种病又有什么帮助呢？如果我有阿尔茨海默症的基因，我不会想知道)”可推知，Bao对这种基因测试的必要性提出了质疑。故选B。
【35题详解】

67. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
The other day I was travelling to San Antonio by train to visit my sister. The train was a little crowded and there was a young man sitting next to the window. Since it was a hot day, I wanted that window seat more than anything else at that time. As a young lady, I thought the young man would give me the seat if I asked him. So I smiled at him and asked whether he could give up his seat and take another one. To my surprise, he said that he needed that seat and refused my request. I had no choice but to take the seat next to him.
The train was crossing station after station. The weather was so hot that the scenery(风景) outside the window could not attract my interest I had nothing to do, so I started to focus my attention on the young man and stare at him up and down. He wore a blue shirt and there was a shawl(披巾) on his legs. He did not even rise from his seat once, which made me feel a little bit strange. Moreover, only a madman would use a shawl in such hot weather, I thought.
After the five-hour long journey, the train arrived at the final stop. I picked up my bag and stood up, waiting for the door to open. I gave a neglectful (不经意的) look at the young man and asked, “The train has arrived at the final station. Are you not getting off ” Hearing my words, he began to smile at me and said in a calm voice, “Someone has to come for me and take me off the train because I can’t do it by myself. ”I gave my full attention to his legs, only to find there was nothing under that shawl!
注意:

The man was a disabled person.

paragraph 2:
After hearing his story, I could not meet his eyes any more.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph1:
The man was a disabled person. Both of his legs were gone. I couldn’t believe what I saw and didn’t know how to ease my embarrassment. Seeing the surprised expression on my face, the young man explained, “I lost both of my legs in a car accident three years ago. I’m a medical student and went to pay a visit to my parents and now I am returning to school. One of my classmates will come to pick me up.”
Paragraph 2
After hearing his story, I could not meet his eyes anymore! I wished I could disappear in front of him at that moment. I didn’t get off the train until his classmate walked to his seat and picked him up. How could I have such a strange idea about a person without knowing him I realized it’s always necessary to understand the truth behind someone’s words or actions. I have given up my wrong opinions about others without thinking since then.
【解析】
【导语】文章以时间发展为线索展开。主要讲述了我乘坐火车去圣安东尼奥看望妹妹的途中，因为天气热，车内也拥挤，我想与一个坐在窗户旁边的年轻人换座。可令我惊讶的是，他说自己更需要这个座位。经过五个小时的长途旅行，火车到达了终点站。期间靠窗的这个男人一次也没从座位上站起来。在我拿起包站起来，等着车门打开，我告诉那个男人该下车了，而男人的回答让我注意到他的腿，原来他是个残疾，腿上盖得披巾下空空的，什么都没有。
【详解】1. 段落续写
根据第一段的首句“这个人是个残疾人。”可知，本段应该描述男人给我讲述了他残疾的原因。
根据第二段首句“听了他的故事后，我再也无法直视他的眼睛了。”可知，本段可以描述得知这种情况后，我的感受。
2. 续写线索
看到他残疾——讲述原因——我感到惭愧——意识到自己的错误——我的感悟
3. 词汇激活
