Peru(秘鲁) is famously known as “Land of the Incas(印加)”. A trip to Peru has been
on my wish list for quite a while. It was finally time for me to visit the country.
My first day started in Lima, the capital of Peru. I met with the G Adventures representative
(代表) here about the tour. G Adventures is an organization that helps you to connect with other
like-minded people in small group-based travel adventures. They played a big part in helping to
make Peru an unforgettable experience for me! In Lima, my representative discussed the plan of
my tour, and I also had the chance to explore Lima in my own time, with many activities,
including a city tour, show, biking tour, and more.
Day two had me taking a flight from Lima to Cusco. Many people visit Cusco for shopping
but for me, the main reason for spending a day or two in Cusco was to acclimatize (适应) to the
high altitude (海拔). As I’d decided to reach the wonder of Machu Picchu, acclimatizing became
important to avoid altitude sickness. I was happy to spend a day exploring Cusco. Cusco was
once the capital of the Inca Empire. Today, it’s famous for its artists, paintings, clothing and
traditional instruments. There’s something for everyone in this city.
The day finally came! Day three had me enjoying a lovely guided visit to Machu Picchu at
sunrise. I had free time to explore the city on my own as well as with my guide. It was a lot to
take in! I had to stop for a moment and felt the energy of such an ancient city. The history here
4
was unbelievable and I will never forget my time here for as long as I live!
24. What is the author’s attitude to G Adventures
A Doubtful. B. Satisfied. C. Uninterested. D. Hopeful.
25. Why did the author stay in Cusco
A. To go shopping. B. To find a local guide.
C. To get used to the high altitude. D. To do research about the Inca Empire.
26. How did the author feel when traveling around Machu Picchu
A. Full of excitement. B. Out of luck. C. Lost in doubt. D. Deep in regret.
27. What is the best title for the text
A. My love of traveling B. My wonderful trip to Peru
C. Peru: “Land of the Incas”. D. Traveling: the future of Peru.
C
Have you ever thought about why malls, restaurants, and even theaters have music Well, to
understand this, you simply just look back at how you felt when you heard music in these places.
Music is known to improve the mood of people. Often music helps us pay attention to what we
are doing. Music helps patients feel good and helps them recover faster and better.
Depression（沮丧) is a state of mind that most of us experience at some point of time. There
are some periods in our life when everything seems difficult. It seems that everything is getting
worse and we have no control over our life. Studies have shown that music can be an important
mood lifter in such situations. Music also plays a great role in making us feel less nervous or
worried. Anxiety(焦虑) can often cause loss of sleep and other illnesses.
Music is often known as an international language. We may not know the language another
person is speaking, but most of us respond to music in the same way. Music can often be the best
way to connect with someone.
Music is one of the best ways to improve your moods, but this can depend largely on the
kind of music you listen to. While happy music can certainly make you feel better, sad music can
5
further lower your spirits. Listening to classical music can often make you feel a lot more
powerful, while soft music can be the perfect way to relax at the end of a long way. If you want
to use music to change the way how you are feeling, you need to understand the role of it, learn
to recognize the kind of music that lifts your mood and helps you feel better. Once you realize the
kind of music you can use, you can use it to change the way you feel. The right kind of music can
be the perfect way to help us feel happier.
28. The passage is mainly about __________.
A. what meanings music has B. how we control our moods
C. how music affects our moods D. what kind of music we listen to
29. According to the passage, playing music in restaurants is to __________.
A. welcome the customers B. make customers feel good
C. make customers dance D. make customers feel powerful
30. From the passage, we can know that __________.
A. most of us suffer depression all the time
B. most of us respond to music in different ways
C. music can be a good way to connect with others
D. any kind of music will help us improve our moods
31. According to the passage, which kind of music can relax ourselves from a long day’s work
A. Soft music. B. Classical music. C. Sad music. D. Rock music.
D
“All work and no play makes Jack a dull(愚 钝 ) boy.” But now scientists have given us
another warning: too much play with smart phones or computers makes you dull too.
“Many focus on the benefits of digital devices （设备） in education but ignore the costs,”
said Patricia Greenfield from the University of California, “losing the ability to understand the
emotions of other people is one of the costs.”Greenfield and her research team did an experiment.
They worked with 105 children who spent about 4.5 hours in front of screens on a school day.
6
The students were asked to describe the emotions towards the pictures of people who were happy,
sad, angry, or scared. Then, half of them attended a five-day nature and science camp. There they
had no smart phones, TV, or computers. The other half stayed in school and spent the five days
as usual. Five days later, all the children took the test again.
Students who had been to the camp got about 5 percent more answers correct than they had
done before the camp. But the other group of students didn’t show much improvement. The study
is not perfect in some ways, said the researchers. But scientists say that the study is still a
warning for us.
“Emotional skills develop in practice and the brain develops through real interaction,” said
Professor Taylor, a professor at the University of San Francisco.
Researchers talked to 2,000 parents of children aged 2-16 in the UK about what activities
their children could do confidently. The results were shocking: Their children could use a tablet
（平板电脑） (59%) and work a mobile phone (57%) more confidently than they could tie their
shoelaces （鞋带） (53%)! So, spend more time away from mobile phones and computers if you
want to be an understanding friend, and not a member of what the Daily Mail called “Generation
Helpless”.
32. What is a problem of using digital media in education according to Professor Greenfield
A. Having bad relationships with family members.
B. Failing to focus on their schoolwork.
C. Being addicted to online games.
D. Being unable to understand others’ emotions.
33 How do scientists like the results of Greenfield’s experiment
A. They are warning. B. They are far from perfect.
C. They still need to be improved. D. They are quite reasonable.
34. What can be inferred from the text
A. Students learned how to express emotions in the experiment.
7
B. Students attending the camp did much better in their studies.
C. Too much play with digital devices caused some concerns.
D. More than half of the children in the UK couldn’t tie their shoelaces.
35. What is the author’s advice for readers at the end of the text
A. To use your smart phones and computers less.
B. To learn to tie your shoelaces confidently.
C. To learn to be an understanding friend.
D. To make more friends through your smart phones.

One noon, Mark knocked at the door, saying, “Take the letter.” Then, a little girl answered
from inside, “I’m coming.” But after 3 minutes, no one came. Mark, the postman, said again,
“Please hurry. I have to go to the next place.”
The girl, Jane, replied, “Sir, put the letter under the door. I’m coming. But it’ll take more
time.” The old postman replied, “No, I’m waiting. It’s a registered letter. So your signature(签名)
is needed.”
After a long time, the door open. Mark was angry and was about to shout at the girl. But
when the door opened, he was shocked to see a little girl who had no legs. He immediately had
great pity for her. He quietly gave her the letter, took her signature and left.
The little girl often lived alone in her house. Her mother wasn’t in this world. And her father
used to work far away. He wasn’t rich and could not buy the girl prostheses(假肢). To take care
of her, her aunt stayed with her every night. But she lived alone during the day.
In about two months, whenever mail came, Mark would knock and call Jane. Then he’d wait
patiently at the door. Gradually, interaction and attachment(依恋) grew between them. And they
learned more about each other.
Jane noticed Mark used to come barefoot(赤脚) to deliver mail. The rainy season came. One
day, when Mark left after delivering the letter, his footprints were left on the wet soil. Jane came
out with a piece of paper, put it on the footprints and took down the picture of his feet. Then she
handed her aunt the pocket money she had saved, and asked her to get shoes of that size and keep
them in the house.
注意：1.续写词数应为 150 左右。2. 请按如下格式作答。
Days later, Jane heard the old postman knock on her door.

】Dear Mike,
I’m delighted to hear that you’re planning to travel in China during May Day Holiday. I’d
like to recommend Xi’ an to you because it is a famous historic and cultural city in China.
Xi’ an was once the capital of thirteen ancient dynasties in China. The most famous attraction
is the Terracotta Army, which is a collection of thousands of terracotta figures discovered near the
tomb of the first Emperor of Qin dynasty. Besides, Xi’ an is also famous for its delicious food,
such as roujiamo, which is praised by tourists at home and aboard. Last but not least, local people
in Xi’ an are always warm-hearted and friendly and you will feel at home when travelling there.
I’m sure you will be interested in Xi’ an and I hope you will have a good time and a great
experience in Xi’ an.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

【答案】 Days later, Jane heard the old postman knock on her door. Smiling, she opened the
door and took the mail from Mark. Then she handed him a box, saying, “This is a gift for you.”
Mark opened the box, seeing a pair of new shoes. He couldn’t believe Jane was concerned about
him. Mark was moved to tears. He thanked her and left. “She saw me barefoot and gave me new
shoes. But how will I be able to give her legs ” he thought to himself.
“I can’t give her legs, but I can give her prostheses,” Mark suddenly thought, and decided
to buy. He quickly went back home and took all the money he had saved for years. Then he
returned to Jane’s house. Mark offered to take Jane to town to buy prostheses. Jane couldn’t
believe her ears, but she declined. Mark was so determined that eventually she agreed to go. When
Jane wore prostheses and walked around, they were so glad about each other’s gift, which brought
great warmth and hope.
