A
Mount Cook National Park is home of the highest mountains and the longest glaciers. It is alpine (高山) in the purest sense--with skyscraping peaks, glaciers and permanent snow fields, all set under a star-studded sky.
Key Highlights
Although it includes 23 peaks over 3000 metres high, this park is very accessible. State Highway 80 leads to Mt Cook Village which is situated beside scenic Lake Pukaki and provides a comfortable base for alpine activities. Far from city lights, the stargazing here is magnificent--Aoraki Mount Cook National Park forms the majority of New Zealand's only International Dark Sky Reserve.
Mountaineers regard the area to be the best climbing region, while less skilled adventurers find plenty of satisfaction with the mountain walks that lead to alpine tarns, herb fields and spectacular glacier views. Encounters (遇到) with cheeky kea (mountain parrots) are part of the fun.
Key Activities
Mountain walks
There are 10 short walks beginning near the village. All tracks are formed and well marked. The Red Tarns Track, Kea Point and the Hooker Valley Track each take around two hours return. For more experienced alpine hikers, there are three mountain pass routes--over the Mueller, Copland and Ball passes.
Glacier viewing and skiing
Helicopters and ski-planes provide access to the park's fabulous glaciers. The Tasman Glacier is an excellent choice for intermediate skiers, while the Murchison, Darwin and Bonney glaciers promise excitement for advanced skiers. From October until May, you can explore the Tasman Glacier's terminal lake by boat.
Mountaineering
Climbing Mount Cook remains the ultimate challenge, but there are many other peaks to tempt experienced climbers. Tasman, Malte Brun, Elie de Beaumont, Sefton and La Perouse are local favourites.
Key Tips
·Climbers don't require permits, but are requested to complete a trip intentions form.
· Local guides are available for climbing, walking and glacier skiing.
·Winter climbing is an extreme sport--only recommended for well-prepared, experienced mountaineers.
·The weather can change very suddenly--be prepared for heavy rainfall, snow and/or high winds.
·The park has an airport serving domestic commercial flights and scenic flight operators.
56. Which is one of the characteristics of Mount Cook National Park?
A. It is so-called alpine and hard to reach.
B. It provides star-shining night skies for visitors.
C. It attracts less skilled visitors to all alpine activities.
D. It appeals to adventurers mainly for finding cheeky kea.
57. If you are a visitor to the park, you should______________.
A. properly evaluate your own experience and skill
B. get your permit prepared before you start to climb
C. hire local guides to help you to train for climbing
D. choose Darwin glacier to ski on as an intermediate skier
B
A report released this month found that grouping children by ability is on the rise again--teaching students in groups of similar ability has improved achievement for fast and slow learners alike--and who wouldn't want bright kids to be able to move ahead, or strugglers to get the help they need?
But for most kids, labels (标签) applied early in life tend to stick, even if they are wrong.
Sorting school children by ability has long been controversial. In some countries, especially in Asia, school-wide tracking (分流) remains normal. Children are tested and placed in different schools that direct them toward professional or vocational careers. Movement between the tracks is rare.
School-wide tracking decreased in U.S. schools in the 1960s and '70s. It never died out, though. Sorting students into separate tracks for math at about junior high school age continues to be common, and other forms of tracking persist as well.
Unlike tracking, which means sorting students into separate classrooms, ability grouping happens within classrooms. When done according to the latest research, it has proven to promote achievement.
Ability grouping is changeable and temporary. Within classrooms, students might be divided into different learning groups dealing with materials of different levels. Any students who master concepts can move upward between groups, and the student groups might look different from subject to subject and unit to unit. For instance, a student who stands out in language arts might be at an average or slower level in math. A student who flies through multiplication tables might need extra help with fractions. Students who lag in reading can be pulled out of the classroom in small groups for practice with a tutor until their reading improves.
Research shows ability grouping within classes has more positive benefits than tracking. However, that must be weighed against the challenges involved. In many regular classrooms, the differences between student ability levels are very big. That presents challenges for teachers and low-performing students to constantly compare themselves with students who seem to fly through school with ease.
The rigid ability groups and tracking of the past are still with us in many schools. Likely, labels are applied with more caution than in the bad old days when some teachers gave reading groups not-so-secret code names like "Bluebirds", "Robins", "Crows" and "Buzzards". But kids still know.
58. Why is grouping children by ability becoming popular again?
A. Because most teachers do not like slower learners.
B. Because grouping children should be done early in life.
C. Because it is academically beneficial to different learners.
D. Because fast learners can move ahead without teachers' help.
59. By saying "Movement between the tracks is rare."(Para. 3), the writer really means_______.
A. tracking children is normal in Asia
B. school-wide tracking has decreased in US
C. professional and vocational careers are unrelated
D. sorted students can hardly change schools
60. The examples in Paragraph 6 are used mainly to illustrate _________.
A. a good language learner promises to be good at maths
B. a student might join different groups for different courses
C. ability grouping benefits gifted students more than slow ones
D. ability grouping presents no challenge for those slow students
61. What might be the challenge in regular classrooms for teachers?
A. Students' different levels. B. Students' low performance.
C. Constant self-comparison. D. Application of not-so-secret code.
C
My father's family is not a musical family. They are a family of words. My brother has my father's dark hair, his love of a good argument. I take after my mother. From her I inherited a curious nature, a sense of adventure, bright red hair. I did not, contrary to her hopes, inherit a talent for the piano. That fact was established beyond doubt after unsuccessful attempts to draw music from me.
The piano lessons began when I was four. My mother was convinced that l would be a child Mozart. She found the ideal teacher---Madame Oblenka, a strict Russian woman, whose pursed lips were enough to frighten a wild horse into submission. Madame Oblenka, who expected a little Mozart, was not very delighted to find a little girl banging her fists (拳头) on the keys.
I tried to please her. "Feel the music," she urged. I "felt" it and winced (畏缩) my ears--for what is more unpleasant than a series of wrong notes played continuously? She "felt" my music, too, which is why she always left with an angrier expression than when she came.
Once, when I was ten, I managed to record one of my own rehearsals (练习). In order to escape my practice sessions, I would close myself behind the door of the piano room, put on the tape recording, and read until the tape had finished. That method worked for a week, until my mother began to wonder why I always missed the same B-sharp. She knocked on the door, and, receiving no answer, came in to check on me and found that I had fallen asleep while the tape of my performance played on and on.
I was twelve when my parents finally acknowledged that my hidden talent was not about to emerge (显现) any time soon. My mother, refusing to admit defeat, told me to pick another instrument. "Choose anything you want, Honey," she said, assuming that freedom of choice would inspire devotion. I thought long and hard and chose the drums. My parents, sensitive to noise, would be less than overjoyed by a daily bombardment of playing. I imagined my father in his study, cotton wads in his ears.
I worked my way through several other instruments before my mother hit on another idea. Maybe I wasn't meant to be an instrumentalist. Realizing that drama might be more suited to my talents, Mom took me to a drama teacher. However, he put me backstage, painting scenery. Once I recovered from my sense of injury, I realized the wisdom of his choice. I loved the active, practical backstage world, and I discovered that I had a knack for constructing and painting. I loved the challenge of taking our scanty (贫乏的) supplies and using them to make something beautiful. Imagining a scene and then seeing it emerge before me--this, to me, was close to magic.
I'm a sculptor now, and every day I experience afresh the joy of being fully absorbed in the act of artistic creation. It's a wonderful, blissful (乐而忘忧) feeling. I realize that my parents, in their misguided attempts to interest me in music, were trying to give me this feeling. And now I feel grateful. Perhaps they went about it in the wrong way, but their hearts were in the right place.
62. Madame Oblenka always felt angry because _______________.
A. the author was too young to play the piano well
B. the author often pointed out the wrong notes of her
C. the author kept banging on the keys unconciously
D. the author's performance was far from satisfactory
63. Why did the author choose the drums as a musical instrument?
A. She was eager to free herself from piano lessons.
B. She was reluctant to play an instrument.
C. She was confident of handling them.
D. She was fond of beating drums.
64. The author's mother can be best described as________________.
A. devoted and stubborn B. encouraging and independent
C. helpful and considerate D. hardworking and generous
65. We can learn from the passage__________________.
A. parents should encourage their children to create art
B. the ordinary backstage work can help one succeed
C. you can only get better at something if you practice
D. art should be treated as a joy rather than a burden
第四部分 任务型阅读（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）
请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。
注意：每空格1个单词。
People select news in expectation of a reward. This reward may be either of two kinds. One is related to what Freud calls the Pleasure Principle, the other to what he calls the Reality Principle. For want of better names, we shall call these two classes immediate reward and delayed reward.
In general, the kind of news which may be expected to give immediate reward are news of crime and corruption, accidents and disasters, sports, social events, and human interest. Delayed reward may be expected from news of public affairs, economic matters, social problems, science, education, and health.
News of the first kind pays its rewards at once. A reader can enjoy an indirect experience without any of the dangers or stresses involved. He can tremble wildly at an axe-murder, shake his head sympathetically and safely at a hurricane, identify himself with the winning team, laugh understandingly at a warm little story of children or dogs.
News of the second kind, however, pays its rewards later. It sometimes requires the reader to tolerate unpleasantness or annoyance — as, for example, when he reads of the threatening foreign situation, the mounting national debt, rising taxes, falling market, scarce housing, and cancer. It has a kind of “threat value.” It is read so that the reader may be informed and prepared. When a reader selects delayed reward news, he pulls himself into the world of surrounding reality to which he can adapt himself only by hard work. When he selects news of the other kind, he usually withdraws from the world of threatening reality toward the dream world.
For any individual, of course, the boundaries of these two classes are not stable. For example, a sociologist may read news of crime as a social problem, rather than for its immediate reward. A coach may read a sports story for its threat value: he may have to play that team next week. A politician may read an account of his latest successful public meeting, not for its delayed reward, but very much as his wife reads an account of a party. In any given story of corruption or disaster, a thoughtful reader may receive not only the immediate reward of indirect experience, but also the delayed reward of information and preparedness. Therefore, while the division of categories holds in general, an individual’s tendency may transfer any story from one kind of reading to another, or divide the experience between the two kinds of reward.

The traffic issue is a hard nut to crack（棘手的问题）. It not only affects our everyday life, but may also threaten people’s lives. The three selections presented above are typical examples.
Quite a few things give rise to the traffic problems. In spite of the large-scale construction of roads and highways, there is still much room for improvement, because of the ever increasing number of cars these years. What’s more, some drivers ,cyclists and pedestrians do not think it vital to obey traffic rules.
In fact, traffic rules are part of the rules and regulations closely related to public order. Without them, people could not enjoy harmony or the country would be in chaos. But rules alone don’t secure an orderly society. It is the people who obey the rules that matter. It is everyone’s duty to observe them to keep our society in order and going on the right track(轨道)。

第三部分：阅读理解（共10小题；每小题2分，满分20分）

A
Mount Cook National Park is home of the highest mountains and the longest glaciers. It is alpine (高山) in the purest sense--with skyscraping peaks, glaciers and permanent snow fields, all set under a star-studded sky.
Key Highlights
Although it includes 23 peaks over 3000 metres high, this park is very accessible. State Highway 80 leads to Mt Cook Village which is situated beside scenic Lake Pukaki and provides a comfortable base for alpine activities. Far from city lights, the stargazing here is magnificent--Aoraki Mount Cook National Park forms the majority of New Zealand's only International Dark Sky Reserve.
Mountaineers regard the area to be the best climbing region, while less skilled adventurers find plenty of satisfaction with the mountain walks that lead to alpine tarns, herb fields and spectacular glacier views. Encounters (遇到) with cheeky kea (mountain parrots) are part of the fun.
Key Activities
Mountain walks
There are 10 short walks beginning near the village. All tracks are formed and well marked. The Red Tarns Track, Kea Point and the Hooker Valley Track each take around two hours return. For more experienced alpine hikers, there are three mountain pass routes--over the Mueller, Copland and Ball passes.
Glacier viewing and skiing
Helicopters and ski-planes provide access to the park's fabulous glaciers. The Tasman Glacier is an excellent choice for intermediate skiers, while the Murchison, Darwin and Bonney glaciers promise excitement for advanced skiers. From October until May, you can explore the Tasman Glacier's terminal lake by boat.
Mountaineering
Climbing Mount Cook remains the ultimate challenge, but there are many other peaks to tempt experienced climbers. Tasman, Malte Brun, Elie de Beaumont, Sefton and La Perouse are local favourites.
Key Tips
·Climbers don't require permits, but are requested to complete a trip intentions form.
· Local guides are available for climbing, walking and glacier skiing.
·Winter climbing is an extreme sport--only recommended for well-prepared, experienced mountaineers.
·The weather can change very suddenly--be prepared for heavy rainfall, snow and/or high winds.
·The park has an airport serving domestic commercial flights and scenic flight operators.
56. Which is one of the characteristics of Mount Cook National Park?
A. It is so-called alpine and hard to reach.
B. It provides star-shining night skies for visitors.
C. It attracts less skilled visitors to all alpine activities.
D. It appeals to adventurers mainly for finding cheeky kea.
57. If you are a visitor to the park, you should______________.
A. properly evaluate your own experience and skill
B. get your permit prepared before you start to climb
C. hire local guides to help you to train for climbing
D. choose Darwin glacier to ski on as an intermediate skier
B
A report released this month found that grouping children by ability is on the rise again--teaching students in groups of similar ability has improved achievement for fast and slow learners alike--and who wouldn't want bright kids to be able to move ahead, or strugglers to get the help they need?
But for most kids, labels (标签) applied early in life tend to stick, even if they are wrong.
Sorting school children by ability has long been controversial. In some countries, especially in Asia, school-wide tracking (分流) remains normal. Children are tested and placed in different schools that direct them toward professional or vocational careers. Movement between the tracks is rare.
School-wide tracking decreased in U.S. schools in the 1960s and '70s. It never died out, though. Sorting students into separate tracks for math at about junior high school age continues to be common, and other forms of tracking persist as well.
Unlike tracking, which means sorting students into separate classrooms, ability grouping happens within classrooms. When done according to the latest research, it has proven to promote achievement.
Ability grouping is changeable and temporary. Within classrooms, students might be divided into different learning groups dealing with materials of different levels. Any students who master concepts can move upward between groups, and the student groups might look different from subject to subject and unit to unit. For instance, a student who stands out in language arts might be at an average or slower level in math. A student who flies through multiplication tables might need extra help with fractions. Students who lag in reading can be pulled out of the classroom in small groups for practice with a tutor until their reading improves.
Research shows ability grouping within classes has more positive benefits than tracking. However, that must be weighed against the challenges involved. In many regular classrooms, the differences between student ability levels are very big. That presents challenges for teachers and low-performing students to constantly compare themselves with students who seem to fly through school with ease.
The rigid ability groups and tracking of the past are still with us in many schools. Likely, labels are applied with more caution than in the bad old days when some teachers gave reading groups not-so-secret code names like "Bluebirds", "Robins", "Crows" and "Buzzards". But kids still know.
58. Why is grouping children by ability becoming popular again?
A. Because most teachers do not like slower learners.
B. Because grouping children should be done early in life.
C. Because it is academically beneficial to different learners.
D. Because fast learners can move ahead without teachers' help.
59. By saying "Movement between the tracks is rare."(Para. 3), the writer really means_______.
A. tracking children is normal in Asia
B. school-wide tracking has decreased in US
C. professional and vocational careers are unrelated
D. sorted students can hardly change schools
60. The examples in Paragraph 6 are used mainly to illustrate _________.
A. a good language learner promises to be good at maths
B. a student might join different groups for different courses
C. ability grouping benefits gifted students more than slow ones
D. ability grouping presents no challenge for those slow students
61. What might be the challenge in regular classrooms for teachers?
A. Students' different levels. B. Students' low performance.
C. Constant self-comparison. D. Application of not-so-secret code.
C
My father's family is not a musical family. They are a family of words. My brother has my father's dark hair, his love of a good argument. I take after my mother. From her I inherited a curious nature, a sense of adventure, bright red hair. I did not, contrary to her hopes, inherit a talent for the piano. That fact was established beyond doubt after unsuccessful attempts to draw music from me.
The piano lessons began when I was four. My mother was convinced that l would be a child Mozart. She found the ideal teacher---Madame Oblenka, a strict Russian woman, whose pursed lips were enough to frighten a wild horse into submission. Madame Oblenka, who expected a little Mozart, was not very delighted to find a little girl banging her fists (拳头) on the keys.
I tried to please her. "Feel the music," she urged. I "felt" it and winced (畏缩) my ears--for what is more unpleasant than a series of wrong notes played continuously? She "felt" my music, too, which is why she always left with an angrier expression than when she came.
Once, when I was ten, I managed to record one of my own rehearsals (练习). In order to escape my practice sessions, I would close myself behind the door of the piano room, put on the tape recording, and read until the tape had finished. That method worked for a week, until my mother began to wonder why I always missed the same B-sharp. She knocked on the door, and, receiving no answer, came in to check on me and found that I had fallen asleep while the tape of my performance played on and on.
I was twelve when my parents finally acknowledged that my hidden talent was not about to emerge (显现) any time soon. My mother, refusing to admit defeat, told me to pick another instrument. "Choose anything you want, Honey," she said, assuming that freedom of choice would inspire devotion. I thought long and hard and chose the drums. My parents, sensitive to noise, would be less than overjoyed by a daily bombardment of playing. I imagined my father in his study, cotton wads in his ears.
I worked my way through several other instruments before my mother hit on another idea. Maybe I wasn't meant to be an instrumentalist. Realizing that drama might be more suited to my talents, Mom took me to a drama teacher. However, he put me backstage, painting scenery. Once I recovered from my sense of injury, I realized the wisdom of his choice. I loved the active, practical backstage world, and I discovered that I had a knack for constructing and painting. I loved the challenge of taking our scanty (贫乏的) supplies and using them to make something beautiful. Imagining a scene and then seeing it emerge before me--this, to me, was close to magic.
I'm a sculptor now, and every day I experience afresh the joy of being fully absorbed in the act of artistic creation. It's a wonderful, blissful (乐而忘忧) feeling. I realize that my parents, in their misguided attempts to interest me in music, were trying to give me this feeling. And now I feel grateful. Perhaps they went about it in the wrong way, but their hearts were in the right place.
62. Madame Oblenka always felt angry because _______________.
A. the author was too young to play the piano well
B. the author often pointed out the wrong notes of her
C. the author kept banging on the keys unconciously
D. the author's performance was far from satisfactory
63. Why did the author choose the drums as a musical instrument?
A. She was eager to free herself from piano lessons.
B. She was reluctant to play an instrument.
C. She was confident of handling them.
D. She was fond of beating drums.
64. The author's mother can be best described as________________.
A. devoted and stubborn B. encouraging and independent
C. helpful and considerate D. hardworking and generous
65. We can learn from the passage__________________.
A. parents should encourage their children to create art
B. the ordinary backstage work can help one succeed
C. you can only get better at something if you practice
D. art should be treated as a joy rather than a burden
第四部分 任务型阅读（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）

People select news in expectation of a reward. This reward may be either of two kinds. One is related to what Freud calls the Pleasure Principle, the other to what he calls the Reality Principle. For want of better names, we shall call these two classes immediate reward and delayed reward.
In general, the kind of news which may be expected to give immediate reward are news of crime and corruption, accidents and disasters, sports, social events, and human interest. Delayed reward may be expected from news of public affairs, economic matters, social problems, science, education, and health.
News of the first kind pays its rewards at once. A reader can enjoy an indirect experience without any of the dangers or stresses involved. He can tremble wildly at an axe-murder, shake his head sympathetically and safely at a hurricane, identify himself with the winning team, laugh understandingly at a warm little story of children or dogs.
News of the second kind, however, pays its rewards later. It sometimes requires the reader to tolerate unpleasantness or annoyance — as, for example, when he reads of the threatening foreign situation, the mounting national debt, rising taxes, falling market, scarce housing, and cancer. It has a kind of “threat value.” It is read so that the reader may be informed and prepared. When a reader selects delayed reward news, he pulls himself into the world of surrounding reality to which he can adapt himself only by hard work. When he selects news of the other kind, he usually withdraws from the world of threatening reality toward the dream world.
For any individual, of course, the boundaries of these two classes are not stable. For example, a sociologist may read news of crime as a social problem, rather than for its immediate reward. A coach may read a sports story for its threat value: he may have to play that team next week. A politician may read an account of his latest successful public meeting, not for its delayed reward, but very much as his wife reads an account of a party. In any given story of corruption or disaster, a thoughtful reader may receive not only the immediate reward of indirect experience, but also the delayed reward of information and preparedness. Therefore, while the division of categories holds in general, an individual’s tendency may transfer any story from one kind of reading to another, or divide the experience between the two kinds of reward.

The traffic issue is a hard nut to crack（棘手的问题）. It not only affects our everyday life, but may also threaten people’s lives. The three selections presented above are typical examples.
Quite a few things give rise to the traffic problems. In spite of the large-scale construction of roads and highways, there is still much room for improvement, because of the ever increasing number of cars these years. What’s more, some drivers ,cyclists and pedestrians do not think it vital to obey traffic rules.
In fact, traffic rules are part of the rules and regulations closely related to public order. Without them, people could not enjoy harmony or the country would be in chaos. But rules alone don’t secure an orderly society. It is the people who obey the rules that matter. It is everyone’s duty to observe them to keep our society in order and going on the right track(轨道)。
