Top Four Cities in Africa for a Great Vacation
Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
Getting around: Taxis are fine; walking is better.
Though Ethiopian food is familiar to a lot of people, on the streets of Addis, it’s all about coffee. Social life in Addis is built on its preparation and consumption. It’s a chance to sit down among a mostly local crowd and order a coffee.
Lusaka, Zambia
Getting around: Taxis are affordable.
This city is known for Victoria Falls. Small shops are lit at night, and they sell everything from newspapers to soft drinks. On the way, there is the outdoor Mingling Bar, where customers can enjoy a can of Original American Cola.
Abidjan, C te d’Ivoire
Getting around: Taxis are cheap.
Abidjan’s 5 million people are spread out across four areas. When night falls, Yopougon is worth heading to. The roads are dusty in the part of Abidjan, but like many cities where living spaces are small, Abidjan lives its life on its streets. Just to the east of Yopougon is the Plateau, the business area. This area’s modernist building is great and mostly the result of a cocoa-and coffee-based economic development in the 1950s and 1960s.
Dakar, Senegal
Getting around: Taxis are plentiful.
Possibly the best thing about Dakar is its beach restaurants: special collections of tables and chairs where customers are served the freshly caught fish. Servers will often offer to run out to a nearby corner store to buy beer and bring it to the table.
11.Where is Victoria Falls
A.In Abidjan. B.In Addis Ababa. C.In Lusaka. D.In Dakar.
12.What contributes most to the Plateau’s modernist building
A.Art. B.Coffee business. C.History. D.Population.
13.What is special about the beach restaurants in Dakar
A.They are self-service. B.They are all about coffee.
C.They serve freshly caught fish. D.They offer free Original American Cola.
三、阅读七选五
I have a terrible sense of direction, so without the guide of GPS — the Global Positioning System — not only would I be lost, but also I’d feel lost. 14 . If you want to get confidence on the road or be less dependent on GPS to get around, here are some steps you can take to improve your sense of direction.
Turn off your GPS and get lost on purpose. Next time you go for a walk, go down a road you’ve not walked and see where it ends up or take the beautiful road to your favorite restaurant or coffee shop. 15 . The goal is to get comfortable with getting lost and moving through the world without a map.
Use landmarks to guide yourself. Not sure if you’re north, south, east or west from home 16 . The perfect landmark is large and far away, like a big sign, a highway, or a bridge which can serve as a better mark of direction.
Use memory tricks (技巧) to remember where you are. People with a good sense of direction know their streets. If you have no sense of direction, you can try some expert methods. Keep street names and roads in mind by using stories and tricks to lock things in. 17 .
These methods may not turn you into an expert guide able to find your way out of being lost. 18 . And you can use them to gain a better sense of ownership over your environment.
A.Driving with GPS brings trouble sometimes.
B.Pick landmarks in town to help guide yourself.
C.But they can reduce any anxiety about getting lost.
D.It gives you an idea of how the streets are connected.
E.Then see if you can make it back home without a GPS.
F.This is especially helpful when street names are hard to know.
G.However, dependence on GPS can lead to a narrower view of your environment.

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了出生于古巴的歌手兼词曲作者安吉拉·阿尔瓦雷斯(Angela Alvarez),搁置演艺梦想数十年后,凭借惊人的表演获得拉丁格莱美最佳新人奖的故事。
34.考查介词。句意:安吉拉·阿尔瓦雷斯是一位出生于古巴的歌手兼词曲作者,在搁置演艺梦想数十年后,她凭借惊人表演获得了拉丁格莱美最佳新人奖。“for + 一段时间”表示动作或状态持续的时长,“for tens of years”意为“数十年” ,作时间状语。故填for。
35.考查形容词。句意:安吉拉·阿尔瓦雷斯是一位出生于古巴的歌手兼词曲作者,在搁置演艺梦想数十年后,她凭借惊人的表演获得了拉丁格莱美最佳新人奖。提示词修饰名词performance,用形容词amazing作定语,意为“令人大为惊奇的,惊人的”。故填amazing。

37.考查时态和主谓一致。句意:但音乐一直在陪伴着她,给她带来安慰。系动词be作谓语,根据语境可知,此处描述的是过去发生的事情,应用一般过去时,主语music是不可数名词,be动词用单数形式was。故填was。
38.考查被动语态。句意:当他发现他的祖母一生中写了60多首歌时,他知道必须做点什么。do(做,干)是从句谓语动词,与主语something之间是被动关系,即“事情被做”,在情态动词had to后用原形。故填be done。
39.考查时态。句意:他问他的祖母是否有兴趣录制她的歌曲,她的回答是肯定的。主句谓语动词“asked”是一般过去时,宾语从句中应用相应的过去时态,此处表示从过去的角度看将来的动作,所以用过去将来时态would do。故填would。
40.考查名词。句意:95岁时,她获得了拉丁格莱美奖,这让她的梦想达到了新的高度,获得了认可。提示词作宾语,用名词recognition,意为“认可,承认”,不可数名词。故填recognition。
41.考查冠词。句意:当她走上舞台领奖时,她发表了一篇鼓舞人心的演讲,让同行们热泪盈眶。“take to the stage”是固定短语,意为“走上舞台”,此处特指领奖的那个舞台,所以用定冠词the。故填the。
42.考查定语从句。句意:我想把这个奖献给我深爱的祖国,我生活的地方;也献给那些还没有实现梦想的人。“____ I live”是限制性定语从句,修饰先行词my beloved homeland,关系词将其代入从句中作地点状语,用关系副词where引导该从句。故填where。
43.考查形容词。句意:保持热情,带着爱,你就能实现它。我保证,永远都不晚。keep (保持……)是系动词,后接形容词passionate作表语,意为“热情的,热烈的”。故填passionate。
