4. Face to face with huge saltwater crocodiles
/
(2019 北京西城期末) Tourists can now come face-to-face with huge saltwater crocodiles as they swim underwater in the glass-lined “Cage of Death”, an attraction now offered at Northern Australia's Crocosaurus Cove.
For the attraction, brave visitors enter a transparent box that is 9 feet tall but only 1.5 inches thick. The cage is lowered into the underwater place where four crocodiles live, allowing visitors to see very closely and play with various crocodiles－including one who starred as a beast in the well-known movie “Crocodile Dundee”.
Although the experience only lasts about 15 minutes, guests have to accept an instruction in safety before entering the cage. “I dive with sharks but it's not this close. It's extremely exciting to get that close to a crocodile of that size,” one adventurer told us excitedly as soon as he got out of the “Cage of Death”.
“The cage has no bars, unlike cages used in shark dives, which prevents the beasts from attacking people but deep teeth scratches (划痕) can be seen everywhere on the sides, frightening a lot of visitors who consider taking part,” reports the manager. ...

My adventure experience
Hello, everyone! Here is Wendy, giving a speech. In order to help you know more about Wendy, I want to tell you something interesting about myself. And the story begins like this. When I was in Grade 2 in my high school, my teacher asked us to prepare a speech about anything that we want to talk about. One day, it was my turn to do the job. Although I thought I had prepared so well, I still felt a bit nervous. And what’s worse, I decided to add some body language to my speech, which I thought would help a lot. However, it was just stupid, very stupid, after I really did this standing in front of the class. And now I will show you how I did that and how stupid it was. It goes like, “You, you and you, get together!” Ok, this is just part of what I said. I thought, it should have impressed my class deeply. On the contrary, I heard hundreds of, oh, no, it should be thousands of laughters. And that is really quite bad. I even didn’t know what had happened. So I continued the speech, but from then I couldn’t find any confidence. So, this is my story and do you have a better understanding about me? No matter whether you do or not, I am very happy, because all of you have shared my story. And that’s the most important!

Dear Zhang Hua
I am glad to hear that you’ll travel to Qingdao during the May Day holiday.
Now I’d like to share my view on travelling with you. In my opinion, travelling is a good activity. When you get tired with your work or study and when you have free time, you can go out to enjoy the beauty of nature. You can breathe the fresh air, meet different people and make friends with them. Only by relaxing yourself will you forget your tiredness and build up your health.
In order to have a pleasant journey, you need to make full preparation ahead of time. You’d better have clear information about the weather, and bring proper clothes, a camera, some medicine for common injuries or diseases and so on. On your journey, you must pay attention to what you eat. Be careful with everything everywhere in case your money gets stolen.
Do you agree with me? Wish you a good journey.
Yours

Modern Sun Worshippers
People travel for a lot of reasons. Some tourists go to see battlefields or religious shrines．Others are looking for culture, or simply want to have their picture taken in front of famous places. But most European tourists are looking for a sunny beach to lie on.
Northern Europeans are willing to pay a lot of money and put up with a lot of inconveniences for the sun because they have so little of it. Residents of cities like London, Copenhagen, and Amsterdam spend a lot of their winter in the dark because the days are so short, and much of the rest of the year in the rain. This is the reason the Mediterranean has always attracted them．Every summer, more than 25 million people travel to Mediterranean resorts and beaches for their vacation．They all come for the same reason：sun!
The huge crowds mean lots of money for the economies of Mediterranean(地中海)countries．Italy’s 30,000 hotels are booked solid every summer．And 13 million people camp out on French beaches, parks, and roadsides. Spain’s long sandy coastline attracts more people than anywhere else. million tourists visit yearly, or one tourist for every person living in Spain.
But there are signs that the area is getting more tourism than it can handle. The Mediterranean is already one of the most polluted seas on earth. And with increased tourism, it’s getting worse. The French can’t figure out what to do with all the garbage (垃圾)left by campers around St. Tropez. And in many places, swimming is dangerous because of pollution.
None of this, however, is spoiling anyone’s fun. The Mediterranean is more popular every year with tourists. Obviously, they don’t go there for clean water and solitude. They tolerate traffic jams and seem to like crowded beaches. They don’t even mind the pollution. No matter how dirty the water is, the coastline still looks beautiful. And as long as the sun shines, it’s still better than sitting in the cold rain in Berlin, London, or Oslo.
36. The writer seems to imply that Europeans travel mostly for the reason that .
A. they want to see historic remains or religious spots
B. they are interested in different cultural traditions and custom
C. they would like to take pictures in front of famous sites
D. they wish to escape from the cold, dark, rainy days back at home
37. Which country attracts more tourists than the others?
A. Italy. B. France. C. Spain. D. Greece.
38. At the end of Paragraph 3, the word “for” is used in the expression “one tourist for every person living in Spain”. Here, “for” can best be replaced by .
A. in comparison with B. to
C. on behalf of D. against
39. According to the passage, which of the following factors might spoil tourists fun at Mediterranean resorts and beaches?
A. Polluted water. B. Crowded beaches. C. Traffic jams. D. Rainy weather.

Nervous suspects(嫌疑犯) locked up in Britain’s newest police station may feel relieved by a pleasant yellow colour on the door. If they are close to confessing a crime, the blue on the wall might tip the balance.
Gwent Police have abandoned colours such as greys and browns of the 20th-century police cell(牢房) and have used colour psychology to decorate them.
Ystrad Mynach station, which recently opened at a cost of ￡ 5 million, has four cells with glass doors for prisoners who suffer from claustrophobia(幽闭恐惧症).Designers have painted the frames yellow, which researchers say is calming colour. Other cells contain a royal blue line because psychologists believe that the colour is likely to encourage truthfulness.
The station has 31 cells, including 12 with a “live scan” system for drunken or disturbed prisoners, which detects the rise and fall of their chest. An alarm alerts officers if a prisoner’s breathing stops and carries on ringing until the door is opened.
Designers and psychologists have worked for years on colour. Blue is said to suggest trust, efficiency, duty, logic, coolness, thinking and calm. It also suggests coldness and unfriendliness. It is thought that strong blues will stimulate clear thought and lighter, soft colours will calm the mind and aid concentration.
Yellow is linked with confidence, self-respect and friendliness. Get the colour wrong and it could cause fear, depression and anxiety, but the right yellow can lift spirits and self-respect.
Ingrid Collins, a psychologist who specializes in the effects of colour, said that colour was an “energy force”. She said, “Blue does enhance communication but I am sure it would enhance truthful communication.”
Yellow, she said, affected the mind. Red, on the other hand, should never be considered because it could increase aggression. Mrs Collins praised the designers for using colours in the cells. Gwent is not the first British force to experiment with colour to calm down or persuade prisoners to cooperate. In the 1990s Strathclyde Police used pink in cells based on research carried out by the US Navy.
40. The expression “tip the balance” in paragraph 1 probably indicates that the blue might .
A. let suspects keep their balance
B. help suspects to confess their crimes
C. make suspects cold and unfriendly in law court
D. enable suspects to change their attitudes to colours
41. Which of the following colours should NOT be used in cells according to the passage?
A. Pink. B. Yellow. C. Blue. D. Red.
42. Which of the following helps alert officers if someone stops breathing?
A. Scanning equipment. B. Royal blue lines.
C. Glass doors. D. Yellow frames.
43. The passage is mainly concerned with .
A. the relationship between colours and psychology
B. a comparison of different functions of colours
C. the use of colours in cells to affect criminals’ psychology
D. scientific ways to help criminals reform themselves in prison

In 1901, H. G. Wells, an English writer, wrote a book describing a trip to the moon. When the explorers(探险者)landed on the moon, they discovered that the moon was full of underground cities. They expressed their surprise to the “moon people” they met. In turn, the “moon people” expressed their surprise. “Why”, they asked, “are you traveling to outer space when you don’t even use your inner space?”
H. G. Wells could only imagine travel to the moon. In 1969, human beings really did land on the moon. People today know that there are no underground cities on the moon. However, the question that the “moon people” asked is still an interesting one. A growing number of scientists are seriously thinking about it.
Underground systems are already in place. Many cities have underground car parks. In some cities, such as Tokyo, Seoul and Montreal, there are large underground shopping areas. The Chunnel, a tunnel(隧道）connecting England and France, is now complete.
But what about underground cities? Japan’s Taisei Corporation is designing a network of underground systems, called “Alice Cities”. The designers imagine using surface space for public parks and using underground space for flats, offices, shopping, and so on. A solar dome(太阳能穹顶)would cover the whole city.
Supporters of underground development say that building down rather than building up is a good way to use the earth’s space. The surface, they say, can be used for farms, parks, gardens, and wilderness. H. G. Wells“moon people” would agree. Would you?
44. The explorers in H. G. Wells’ story were surprised to find that the “moon people” .
A. knew so much about the earth B. understood their language
C. lived in so many underground cities D. were ahead of them in space technology
45. What does the underlined word “it” (Paragraph 2) refer to?
A. Discovering the moon’s inner space. B. Using the earth’s inner space.
C. Meeting the “moon people” again. D. Traveling to outer space.
46. What sort of underground systems are already here with us?
A. Offices, shopping areas, power stations. B. Tunnels, car parks, shopping areas.
C. Gardens, car parks, power stations. D. Tunnels, gardens, offices.
47. What would be the best title for the text?
A. Alive cities—cities of the future B. Space travel with H. G. Wells
C. Enjoy living underground D. Building down, not up

In 1997, a group of twenty British women made history. Working in five teams with four women in each team, they walked to the North Pole. Apart from one experienced female guide, the other women were all ordinary people who had never done anything like this in their lives before. They managed to survive in an environment which had defeated several very experienced men during the same period.
Once on the ice, each woman had to ski along while dragging a sledge(雪橇) weighing over 50 kilos. The Arctic ice is pushed up into huge piles of two or three meters high, and the sledges had to be pulled up one side and carefully let down the other all on rough surface so that they didn’t become damaged. The temperature was always below the freezing point and sometimes strong winds made walking while pulling so much weight almost impossible. It was also very difficult for them to put up their tents when they stopped each night.
In such conditions, the women were making good progress if they covered fourteen or fifteen kilometers a day. However, part of the journey was across a frozen sea with moving water underneath the ice and at some points the team would drift(漂流) back more than five kilometers during the night. That meant that after walking in these very severe conditions for ten hours on one day, they had to spend part of the next day covering the same ground again.
So, how did they manage to succeed? They realized that they were part of a team. If anyone of them didn’t pull her sledge or get her job done, she would endanger the success of the whole expedition. Any form of selfishness could result in the efforts of everyone else’s being completely wasted, so personal feelings had to be put to one side. At the end of their journey, the women agreed that it was mental effort far more than physical fitness that got them to the North Pole.
48. The expedition was extraordinary because .
A. there was no one to lead it
B. the women did not have any men with them
C. it was a new experience for most of the women
D. the women had not met one another before
49. On the expedition, the women had to be particularly careful to avoid .
A. falling over on the ice B. being left behind
C. damaging the sledges D. getting too cold at night
50. The women could not cover 15 kilometers a day mainly because .
A. they got too tired B. the ice was moving
C. they kept getting lost D. the temperature was too low
51. The passage seems to tell us that .
A. motivation and teamwork achieve goals B. women can do anything that they want
C. it is good to experience difficult conditions D. the Arctic conditions are very severe

Over the last 70 years, researchers have been studying happy and unhappy people and finally found out ten factors that make a difference. Our feelings of well-being at any moment are determined to a certain degree by genes. However, of all the factors, wealth and age are the top two.
Money can buy a degree of happiness. But once you can afford to feed, clothes and house yourself, each extra dollar makes less and less difference.
Researchers find that, on average, wealthier people are happier. But the link between money and happiness is complex. In the past half-century, average income has sharply increased in developed countries, yet happiness levels have remained almost the same. Once your basic needs are met, money only seems to increase happiness if you have more than your friends, neighbors and colleagues.
“Dollars buy status, and status makes people feel better,” conclude some experts, which helps explain why people who can seek status in other ways—scientists or actors, for example—may happily accept relatively poorly-paid jobs.
In a research, Professor Alex Michalos found that the people whose desires—not just for money, but for friends, family, job, health—rose furthest beyond what they already had, tended to be less happy than those who felt a smaller gap(差距）.Indeed, the size of the gap predicted happiness about five times better than income alone. “The gap measures just blow away the only measures of income.” says Michalos.
Another factor that has to do with happiness is age. Old age may not be so bad. “Given all the problems of aging, how could the elderly be more satisfied？” asks Professor Laura Carstensen.
In one survey, Carstensen interviewed 184 people between the ages of 18 and 94, and asked them to fill out an emotions questionnaire. She found that old people reported positive emotions just as often as young people, but negative emotions much less often.
Why are old people happier? Some scientists suggest older people may expect life to be harder and learn to live with it, or they’re more realistic about their goals, only setting ones that they know they can achieve. But Carstensen thinks that with time running out, older people have learned to focus on things that make them happy and let go of those that don’t.
“People realize not only what they have, but also that what they have cannot last forever,” she says. “A goodbye kiss to a husband or wife at the age of 85, for example, may bring far more complex emotional responses than a similar kiss to a boy or girl friend at the age of 20.”
52. According to the passage, the feeling of happiness .
A. is determined partly by genes B. increases gradually with age
C. has little to do with wealth D. is measured by desires
53. Some actors would like to accept poorly-paid jobs because the jobs .
A. make them feel much better B. provide chances to make friends
C. improve their social position D. satisfy their professional interests
54. Aged people are more likely to feel happy because they are more .
A. optimistic B. successful C. practical D. emotional
55. Professor Alex Michalos found that people feel less happy if .
A. the gap between reality and desire is bigger
B. they have a stronger desire for friendship
C. their income is below their expectation
D. the hope for good health is greater

Winter sports are very popular in European and North American countries. These places usually receive a lot of snow during the winter months.
Skiing and skating become the major sports activities for the Westerners during the winter. People from Norway, Italy, the United States, Sweden and Canada all like winter sports.
Winter sports such as alpine skiing and skating(高山滑雪) are very popular because they allow people to keep warm while enjoying outdoors.
People can exercise outdoors in beautiful surroundings: snow-covered mountains and pine trees among endless white snow. Putting oneself into the white world and breathing fresh air, one can relax and forget all worries. Of course, the practice of flying down the hills excites people.
The Alps in Europe is the most ideal place for skiing. The Rocky Mountains in the Western United States is another good place.
Some people call winter sports “royal sports”. That is because of their high cost. These sports always require expensive equipment. They also need high-standard places to be enjoyed.
Winter sports are not popular in China. The southern and coastal areas have no skiing and skating. And the snow-blanketed northeastern and southwestern areas have very poor equipment. But thanks to the efforts of the government, China has caught up with world-class competition in short track speed skating(短道速滑).This is also true to women’s figure skating. However, in alpine skiing events, China .

答案与解析：
单项填空
1.D 第一个空考查定语从句中的主谓一致，谓语动词的数与先行词保持一致；as well as连接两个主语时，谓语动词由前面的主语来决定，故第二个空用单数形式。
2. C be tired with sth.“因……而感到累的（或疲乏的）”；be tired of doing sth.“对做某事感到厌烦了”。句意：走了很长一段路我感到累了，但我不讨厌走路。
3.C 常用来回答Thank you...的常见句型：You’re welcome./That’s all right./(It’s)My pleasure./Don’t mention it./Not at all.等。
4. A in case“万一，以防”；as if“似乎，好像”；even though“即使，尽管”；now that“既然，由于”（now有时可以省略）。句意：我要出去一下。万一有什么重要事，请立刻打我电话。根据句意A正确。
5.A 考查“介词+关系代词”引导的定语从句。根据题意应该是“在那以后”，故选A项。
6.D 考查定语从句。先行词a day care center表示地点，定语从句由关系副词where引导，相当于in which。故选D项。
7.D 该句中考查了“find+宾语+宾补”结构中作宾语补足语的confusing，意为“令人感到迷惑的”。
8.C 考查“hear+宾语+do/doing/done”结构。因为English是“被说”，故用spoken作宾补，表示被动。
9.B 句意：经过两年的研究，我们现在对这种疾病有了更进一步的了解。依照句意，四个选项中只有B项可以和比较级连用。故选B项。
10.C 句意：谈到他所创作的歌曲，这很可能是他最著名的一首了。根据句意，此题应选用最高级形式。well的最高级形式是best，所以C项为正确答案。
11.C 考查动词短语的辨析。A项“出发；动身”；B项“接管”；C项“从事”；D项“成立，建立”。由句意知C项正确。
12.D 本题考查动词短语的辨析。find out“查明，发现，了解”；give out“分发；筋疲力尽；用完”；hand out“分发”；work out “算出；结果是”。由句意“我们本想正午前完成任务，但结果并没像计划的那样”可知D项正确。
13.C that从句中know的动作发生在句子谓语动词felt之前，因此从句谓语动词应用过去完成时态。句意：我们于2000年在火车上第一次相遇。我们两人都立刻觉得我们已认识好多年了。
14.C 本题考查形容词短语作状语，表示状态。
15.D differ in“在……方面不同”。
完形填空
16.A 由前文“夏天的一个清早，睡眼惺忪的人们在街 道上快速行走”，以及下文的“上班高峰期”可知,人们朝他们的工作赶去。B项不合文意；C项不能表示其目的地；D项则具有片面性，因为上班的人不一定都在办公室。
17.D这是又一个平凡的日子的开始,与下文中的different形成对比。
18.C前后两句为转折关系,以突出本句中的different。
19.D 根据下文on top of a...可知是在拥挤的街道的上空。
20.D 由本句中的110层高可知是一座楼房。
21.B 照应结尾中的“I walk”。
22.C take one’s first step“迈出第一步”。
23.A 根据下文他的表现可知他“确信”他能做这件事。
24.C A项表“通过（常指从物体空间内部）”；B项表“靠着”；C项表“带有；用”；D项表“在……上边”。此处指他仅“拿着”一根平衡杆。
25.A 由上文的across（横穿）和后边的131 feet 可知此处指他所要走的距离。
26.B 很快上班高峰期的人们开始注意。
27.C 由本句后的感叹号和下文的空中行走可知此为一项奇迹。
28.D 由于在1 350英尺的高度，故此人看起来显得“很小”。
29.C 由back and forth “来来回回”可知走了“七趟”，故用“trip”。
30.A 上文中的...was walking on air和下文中他做的转身、坐下等动作可知，他对仅仅行走不满意。
31.B “甚至”还跪着走。
32.D 有一次，他竟然有令人惊奇的“勇气”躺在那根细绳上。
33.B 由后边的“心跳加速”可知是感到害怕。
34.A 由上文他所做的多种动作可知是一种“表演”。
35.B 由答语可知是问他为什么那样做。
阅读理解
36.D 第一段首先在主题句中指出人们外出旅行的原因多种多样，然后以“some”和“others”举出一些实例，最后以转折连词“but”点出欧洲游客对阳光特殊的追求。只有D项是大部分欧洲游客的旅行动机，所以选D。
37.C 由第三段中“Spain’s long sandy coastline attracts more people than anywhere else.”可知。
38.B 去西班牙旅行的游客人数与西班牙人口比例达1∶1,即 one to one ,因此“for”相当于“to”，所以选B。A项意为“与……相比”，C项意为“代表……”，D项意为“与……相反”，均不符合题意。
39.D 由最后一段可知，只有多雨的天气才能破坏游客们的兴致。
40.B当嫌疑犯快要招供时，墙上涂上蓝色时可加快嫌疑犯招供的速度。因为黄色使人放松，蓝色则能促进人们的交流。
41.D因为红色会增强攻击性。
42.A由文章第四段可知，a “live scan” system为“实时扫描系统”。
43.C文章讲述了监狱通过用蓝、黄等不同的颜色对疑犯的心理产生一定影响从而更有效地达到管理目的。
44.C 该题是细节考查题。从文章第一段中“...they discovered that the moon was full of underground cities. They expressed their surprise to the ‘moon people’ they met.”可知应选C。
45.B 该题是词义猜测题。由第一段最后一句话及第二段得知，it指上文提到的underground cities，也就是上一段提到的inner space。
46.B 该题是细节考查题。从第三段的“Many cities have underground car parks. In some cities, such as Tokyo, Seoul and Montreal, there are large underground shopping areas. The Chunnel, a tunnel connecting England and France, is now complete.”可知答案。
47.D 该题是一个主旨大意理解和概括题。首段已点到，最后一段首句又总结了地下开发的支持者的意见：Supporters of underground development say that building down rather than building up is a good way to use the earth’s space.由此我们可知应选Ｄ。
48.C 考查细节理解。根据第一段第三句“...the other women were all ordinary people who had never done anything like this in their lives before.” 可知应选C。
49.B 考查推理判断。根据最后一段前半部分的叙述可知她们明白作为团队的一部分，每个人都应尽力完成自己的工作，否则整个计划就会受到影响，其他人的努力都将化为泡影。由此可知应选B。
50.B 考查细节理解。根据第三段后半部分的描写可知应选B。
51.A 考查作者意图。前三段讲述了20名女士克服重重困难最终成功的故事，最后一段则剖析了她们成功的原因，所以最后一段才是文章的中心，它强调团队合作精神和坚定信念的力量，因此A项体现了作者的真正意图。
52.A 由第一段第二句话可知A项正确；由倒数第三段可知B项错误；由第一段最后一句话可知C项错误；D项说法片面，不完整。
53.C 由第四段内容可知“有些演员会接受报酬低廉的工作，因为就是这些工作能提高他们的社会地位”。
54.C 由倒数第二段中“they’re more realistic about their goals”可知。
55.A 由第五段内容可知如果现实与欲望之间的差距太大，有些人就会感到不是很幸福。

解析
1. complete改为completely，用副词作状语；
2. in改为on，night前有定语时用介词on；否则用at；
3. after改为before，根据逻辑关系应该是“在接受必须在车上度过那个晚上之前”，先转转看看。
4. can改为could，根据语境，此处应当是一般过去时态；
5. the改为a，第一次提到小房子，用a；
6. shone改为shining，此处是with的复合结构，shine与light之间是主动关系，故应当用动词-ing形式作宾语补足语。
7. knocked后加at/ on，敲门，knock是不及物动词，后加at或on。
8. was前加and ，并列谓语动词。
9. it改为there ，there be句型；
10. who删掉，前有but构成并列句，who多余，不能构成定语从句。

Last Saturday, our class traveled to a small town with beautiful scenery. It is a comfortable and quiet town, where the air is fresh and the water is clean. We played many kinds of sports there and learnt more about nature. However, because the town lies in a remote mountainous district, the locals are still leading a poor life. Therefore, I think the local government should take some measures and make full use of local natural resources to make the people’s lives better and make the town more prosperous.

4. Face to face with huge saltwater crocodiles
/
(2019 北京西城期末) Tourists can now come face-to-face with huge saltwater crocodiles as they swim underwater in the glass-lined “Cage of Death”, an attraction now offered at Northern Australia's Crocosaurus Cove.
For the attraction, brave visitors enter a transparent box that is 9 feet tall but only 1.5 inches thick. The cage is lowered into the underwater place where four crocodiles live, allowing visitors to see very closely and play with various crocodiles－including one who starred as a beast in the well-known movie “Crocodile Dundee”.
Although the experience only lasts about 15 minutes, guests have to accept an instruction in safety before entering the cage. “I dive with sharks but it's not this close. It's extremely exciting to get that close to a crocodile of that size,” one adventurer told us excitedly as soon as he got out of the “Cage of Death”.
“The cage has no bars, unlike cages used in shark dives, which prevents the beasts from attacking people but deep teeth scratches (划痕) can be seen everywhere on the sides, frightening a lot of visitors who consider taking part,” reports the manager. ...

My adventure experience
Hello, everyone! Here is Wendy, giving a speech. In order to help you know more about Wendy, I want to tell you something interesting about myself. And the story begins like this. When I was in Grade 2 in my high school, my teacher asked us to prepare a speech about anything that we want to talk about. One day, it was my turn to do the job. Although I thought I had prepared so well, I still felt a bit nervous. And what’s worse, I decided to add some body language to my speech, which I thought would help a lot. However, it was just stupid, very stupid, after I really did this standing in front of the class. And now I will show you how I did that and how stupid it was. It goes like, “You, you and you, get together!” Ok, this is just part of what I said. I thought, it should have impressed my class deeply. On the contrary, I heard hundreds of, oh, no, it should be thousands of laughters. And that is really quite bad. I even didn’t know what had happened. So I continued the speech, but from then I couldn’t find any confidence. So, this is my story and do you have a better understanding about me? No matter whether you do or not, I am very happy, because all of you have shared my story. And that’s the most important!

Dear Zhang Hua
I am glad to hear that you’ll travel to Qingdao during the May Day holiday.
Now I’d like to share my view on travelling with you. In my opinion, travelling is a good activity. When you get tired with your work or study and when you have free time, you can go out to enjoy the beauty of nature. You can breathe the fresh air, meet different people and make friends with them. Only by relaxing yourself will you forget your tiredness and build up your health.
In order to have a pleasant journey, you need to make full preparation ahead of time. You’d better have clear information about the weather, and bring proper clothes, a camera, some medicine for common injuries or diseases and so on. On your journey, you must pay attention to what you eat. Be careful with everything everywhere in case your money gets stolen.
Do you agree with me? Wish you a good journey.

A
Modern Sun Worshippers
People travel for a lot of reasons. Some tourists go to see battlefields or religious shrines．Others are looking for culture, or simply want to have their picture taken in front of famous places. But most European tourists are looking for a sunny beach to lie on.
Northern Europeans are willing to pay a lot of money and put up with a lot of inconveniences for the sun because they have so little of it. Residents of cities like London, Copenhagen, and Amsterdam spend a lot of their winter in the dark because the days are so short, and much of the rest of the year in the rain. This is the reason the Mediterranean has always attracted them．Every summer, more than 25 million people travel to Mediterranean resorts and beaches for their vacation．They all come for the same reason：sun!
The huge crowds mean lots of money for the economies of Mediterranean(地中海)countries．Italy’s 30,000 hotels are booked solid every summer．And 13 million people camp out on French beaches, parks, and roadsides. Spain’s long sandy coastline attracts more people than anywhere else. million tourists visit yearly, or one tourist for every person living in Spain.
But there are signs that the area is getting more tourism than it can handle. The Mediterranean is already one of the most polluted seas on earth. And with increased tourism, it’s getting worse. The French can’t figure out what to do with all the garbage (垃圾)left by campers around St. Tropez. And in many places, swimming is dangerous because of pollution.
None of this, however, is spoiling anyone’s fun. The Mediterranean is more popular every year with tourists. Obviously, they don’t go there for clean water and solitude. They tolerate traffic jams and seem to like crowded beaches. They don’t even mind the pollution. No matter how dirty the water is, the coastline still looks beautiful. And as long as the sun shines, it’s still better than sitting in the cold rain in Berlin, London, or Oslo.
36. The writer seems to imply that Europeans travel mostly for the reason that .
A. they want to see historic remains or religious spots
B. they are interested in different cultural traditions and custom
C. they would like to take pictures in front of famous sites
D. they wish to escape from the cold, dark, rainy days back at home
37. Which country attracts more tourists than the others?
A. Italy. B. France. C. Spain. D. Greece.
38. At the end of Paragraph 3, the word “for” is used in the expression “one tourist for every person living in Spain”. Here, “for” can best be replaced by .
A. in comparison with B. to
C. on behalf of D. against
39. According to the passage, which of the following factors might spoil tourists fun at Mediterranean resorts and beaches?
A. Polluted water. B. Crowded beaches. C. Traffic jams. D. Rainy weather.
B
Nervous suspects(嫌疑犯) locked up in Britain’s newest police station may feel relieved by a pleasant yellow colour on the door. If they are close to confessing a crime, the blue on the wall might tip the balance.
Gwent Police have abandoned colours such as greys and browns of the 20th-century police cell(牢房) and have used colour psychology to decorate them.
Ystrad Mynach station, which recently opened at a cost of ￡ 5 million, has four cells with glass doors for prisoners who suffer from claustrophobia(幽闭恐惧症).Designers have painted the frames yellow, which researchers say is calming colour. Other cells contain a royal blue line because psychologists believe that the colour is likely to encourage truthfulness.
The station has 31 cells, including 12 with a “live scan” system for drunken or disturbed prisoners, which detects the rise and fall of their chest. An alarm alerts officers if a prisoner’s breathing stops and carries on ringing until the door is opened.
Designers and psychologists have worked for years on colour. Blue is said to suggest trust, efficiency, duty, logic, coolness, thinking and calm. It also suggests coldness and unfriendliness. It is thought that strong blues will stimulate clear thought and lighter, soft colours will calm the mind and aid concentration.
Yellow is linked with confidence, self-respect and friendliness. Get the colour wrong and it could cause fear, depression and anxiety, but the right yellow can lift spirits and self-respect.
Ingrid Collins, a psychologist who specializes in the effects of colour, said that colour was an “energy force”. She said, “Blue does enhance communication but I am sure it would enhance truthful communication.”
Yellow, she said, affected the mind. Red, on the other hand, should never be considered because it could increase aggression. Mrs Collins praised the designers for using colours in the cells. Gwent is not the first British force to experiment with colour to calm down or persuade prisoners to cooperate. In the 1990s Strathclyde Police used pink in cells based on research carried out by the US Navy.
40. The expression “tip the balance” in paragraph 1 probably indicates that the blue might .
A. let suspects keep their balance
B. help suspects to confess their crimes
C. make suspects cold and unfriendly in law court
D. enable suspects to change their attitudes to colours
41. Which of the following colours should NOT be used in cells according to the passage?
A. Pink. B. Yellow. C. Blue. D. Red.
42. Which of the following helps alert officers if someone stops breathing?
A. Scanning equipment. B. Royal blue lines.
C. Glass doors. D. Yellow frames.
43. The passage is mainly concerned with .
A. the relationship between colours and psychology
B. a comparison of different functions of colours
C. the use of colours in cells to affect criminals’ psychology
D. scientific ways to help criminals reform themselves in prison
C
In 1901, H. G. Wells, an English writer, wrote a book describing a trip to the moon. When the explorers(探险者)landed on the moon, they discovered that the moon was full of underground cities. They expressed their surprise to the “moon people” they met. In turn, the “moon people” expressed their surprise. “Why”, they asked, “are you traveling to outer space when you don’t even use your inner space?”
H. G. Wells could only imagine travel to the moon. In 1969, human beings really did land on the moon. People today know that there are no underground cities on the moon. However, the question that the “moon people” asked is still an interesting one. A growing number of scientists are seriously thinking about it.
Underground systems are already in place. Many cities have underground car parks. In some cities, such as Tokyo, Seoul and Montreal, there are large underground shopping areas. The Chunnel, a tunnel(隧道）connecting England and France, is now complete.
But what about underground cities? Japan’s Taisei Corporation is designing a network of underground systems, called “Alice Cities”. The designers imagine using surface space for public parks and using underground space for flats, offices, shopping, and so on. A solar dome(太阳能穹顶)would cover the whole city.
Supporters of underground development say that building down rather than building up is a good way to use the earth’s space. The surface, they say, can be used for farms, parks, gardens, and wilderness. H. G. Wells“moon people” would agree. Would you?
44. The explorers in H. G. Wells’ story were surprised to find that the “moon people” .
A. knew so much about the earth B. understood their language
C. lived in so many underground cities D. were ahead of them in space technology
45. What does the underlined word “it” (Paragraph 2) refer to?
A. Discovering the moon’s inner space. B. Using the earth’s inner space.
C. Meeting the “moon people” again. D. Traveling to outer space.
46. What sort of underground systems are already here with us?
A. Offices, shopping areas, power stations. B. Tunnels, car parks, shopping areas.
C. Gardens, car parks, power stations. D. Tunnels, gardens, offices.
47. What would be the best title for the text?
A. Alive cities—cities of the future B. Space travel with H. G. Wells
C. Enjoy living underground D. Building down, not up
D
In 1997, a group of twenty British women made history. Working in five teams with four women in each team, they walked to the North Pole. Apart from one experienced female guide, the other women were all ordinary people who had never done anything like this in their lives before. They managed to survive in an environment which had defeated several very experienced men during the same period.
Once on the ice, each woman had to ski along while dragging a sledge(雪橇) weighing over 50 kilos. The Arctic ice is pushed up into huge piles of two or three meters high, and the sledges had to be pulled up one side and carefully let down the other all on rough surface so that they didn’t become damaged. The temperature was always below the freezing point and sometimes strong winds made walking while pulling so much weight almost impossible. It was also very difficult for them to put up their tents when they stopped each night.
In such conditions, the women were making good progress if they covered fourteen or fifteen kilometers a day. However, part of the journey was across a frozen sea with moving water underneath the ice and at some points the team would drift(漂流) back more than five kilometers during the night. That meant that after walking in these very severe conditions for ten hours on one day, they had to spend part of the next day covering the same ground again.
So, how did they manage to succeed? They realized that they were part of a team. If anyone of them didn’t pull her sledge or get her job done, she would endanger the success of the whole expedition. Any form of selfishness could result in the efforts of everyone else’s being completely wasted, so personal feelings had to be put to one side. At the end of their journey, the women agreed that it was mental effort far more than physical fitness that got them to the North Pole.
48. The expedition was extraordinary because .
A. there was no one to lead it
B. the women did not have any men with them
C. it was a new experience for most of the women
D. the women had not met one another before
49. On the expedition, the women had to be particularly careful to avoid .
A. falling over on the ice B. being left behind
C. damaging the sledges D. getting too cold at night
50. The women could not cover 15 kilometers a day mainly because .
A. they got too tired B. the ice was moving
C. they kept getting lost D. the temperature was too low
51. The passage seems to tell us that .
A. motivation and teamwork achieve goals B. women can do anything that they want
C. it is good to experience difficult conditions D. the Arctic conditions are very severe

Over the last 70 years, researchers have been studying happy and unhappy people and finally found out ten factors that make a difference. Our feelings of well-being at any moment are determined to a certain degree by genes. However, of all the factors, wealth and age are the top two.
Money can buy a degree of happiness. But once you can afford to feed, clothes and house yourself, each extra dollar makes less and less difference.
Researchers find that, on average, wealthier people are happier. But the link between money and happiness is complex. In the past half-century, average income has sharply increased in developed countries, yet happiness levels have remained almost the same. Once your basic needs are met, money only seems to increase happiness if you have more than your friends, neighbors and colleagues.
“Dollars buy status, and status makes people feel better,” conclude some experts, which helps explain why people who can seek status in other ways—scientists or actors, for example—may happily accept relatively poorly-paid jobs.
In a research, Professor Alex Michalos found that the people whose desires—not just for money, but for friends, family, job, health—rose furthest beyond what they already had, tended to be less happy than those who felt a smaller gap(差距）.Indeed, the size of the gap predicted happiness about five times better than income alone. “The gap measures just blow away the only measures of income.” says Michalos.
Another factor that has to do with happiness is age. Old age may not be so bad. “Given all the problems of aging, how could the elderly be more satisfied？” asks Professor Laura Carstensen.
In one survey, Carstensen interviewed 184 people between the ages of 18 and 94, and asked them to fill out an emotions questionnaire. She found that old people reported positive emotions just as often as young people, but negative emotions much less often.
Why are old people happier? Some scientists suggest older people may expect life to be harder and learn to live with it, or they’re more realistic about their goals, only setting ones that they know they can achieve. But Carstensen thinks that with time running out, older people have learned to focus on things that make them happy and let go of those that don’t.
“People realize not only what they have, but also that what they have cannot last forever,” she says. “A goodbye kiss to a husband or wife at the age of 85, for example, may bring far more complex emotional responses than a similar kiss to a boy or girl friend at the age of 20.”
52. According to the passage, the feeling of happiness .
A. is determined partly by genes B. increases gradually with age
C. has little to do with wealth D. is measured by desires
53. Some actors would like to accept poorly-paid jobs because the jobs .
A. make them feel much better B. provide chances to make friends
C. improve their social position D. satisfy their professional interests
54. Aged people are more likely to feel happy because they are more .
A. optimistic B. successful C. practical D. emotional
55. Professor Alex Michalos found that people feel less happy if .
A. the gap between reality and desire is bigger
B. they have a stronger desire for friendship
C. their income is below their expectation
D. the hope for good health is greater

One night, I was on my home for my Christmas holiday when my car broke down. It was complete dead, and I was a few miles away from my home in that cold, wet night. I decided to walk around a little after accepting that I’d have to spend the night in the car. Maybe I can find a telephone. Actually, I didn’t have to walk far before I found the small house standing in a field with a light shone from the sitting room.

Winter sports are very popular in European and North American countries. These places usually receive a lot of snow during the winter months.
Skiing and skating become the major sports activities for the Westerners during the winter. People from Norway, Italy, the United States, Sweden and Canada all like winter sports.
Winter sports such as alpine skiing and skating(高山滑雪) are very popular because they allow people to keep warm while enjoying outdoors.
People can exercise outdoors in beautiful surroundings: snow-covered mountains and pine trees among endless white snow. Putting oneself into the white world and breathing fresh air, one can relax and forget all worries. Of course, the practice of flying down the hills excites people.
The Alps in Europe is the most ideal place for skiing. The Rocky Mountains in the Western United States is another good place.
Some people call winter sports “royal sports”. That is because of their high cost. These sports always require expensive equipment. They also need high-standard places to be enjoyed.
Winter sports are not popular in China. The southern and coastal areas have no skiing and skating. And the snow-blanketed northeastern and southwestern areas have very poor equipment. But thanks to the efforts of the government, China has caught up with world-class competition in short track speed skating(短道速滑).This is also true to women’s figure skating. However, in alpine skiing events, China .

答案与解析：
单项填空
1.D 第一个空考查定语从句中的主谓一致，谓语动词的数与先行词保持一致；as well as连接两个主语时，谓语动词由前面的主语来决定，故第二个空用单数形式。
2. C be tired with sth.“因……而感到累的（或疲乏的）”；be tired of doing sth.“对做某事感到厌烦了”。句意：走了很长一段路我感到累了，但我不讨厌走路。
3.C 常用来回答Thank you...的常见句型：You’re welcome./That’s all right./(It’s)My pleasure./Don’t mention it./Not at all.等。
4. A in case“万一，以防”；as if“似乎，好像”；even though“即使，尽管”；now that“既然，由于”（now有时可以省略）。句意：我要出去一下。万一有什么重要事，请立刻打我电话。根据句意A正确。
5.A 考查“介词+关系代词”引导的定语从句。根据题意应该是“在那以后”，故选A项。
6.D 考查定语从句。先行词a day care center表示地点，定语从句由关系副词where引导，相当于in which。故选D项。
7.D 该句中考查了“find+宾语+宾补”结构中作宾语补足语的confusing，意为“令人感到迷惑的”。
8.C 考查“hear+宾语+do/doing/done”结构。因为English是“被说”，故用spoken作宾补，表示被动。
9.B 句意：经过两年的研究，我们现在对这种疾病有了更进一步的了解。依照句意，四个选项中只有B项可以和比较级连用。故选B项。
10.C 句意：谈到他所创作的歌曲，这很可能是他最著名的一首了。根据句意，此题应选用最高级形式。well的最高级形式是best，所以C项为正确答案。
11.C 考查动词短语的辨析。A项“出发；动身”；B项“接管”；C项“从事”；D项“成立，建立”。由句意知C项正确。
12.D 本题考查动词短语的辨析。find out“查明，发现，了解”；give out“分发；筋疲力尽；用完”；hand out“分发”；work out “算出；结果是”。由句意“我们本想正午前完成任务，但结果并没像计划的那样”可知D项正确。
13.C that从句中know的动作发生在句子谓语动词felt之前，因此从句谓语动词应用过去完成时态。句意：我们于2000年在火车上第一次相遇。我们两人都立刻觉得我们已认识好多年了。
14.C 本题考查形容词短语作状语，表示状态。
15.D differ in“在……方面不同”。
完形填空
16.A 由前文“夏天的一个清早，睡眼惺忪的人们在街 道上快速行走”，以及下文的“上班高峰期”可知,人们朝他们的工作赶去。B项不合文意；C项不能表示其目的地；D项则具有片面性，因为上班的人不一定都在办公室。
17.D这是又一个平凡的日子的开始,与下文中的different形成对比。
18.C前后两句为转折关系,以突出本句中的different。
19.D 根据下文on top of a...可知是在拥挤的街道的上空。
20.D 由本句中的110层高可知是一座楼房。
21.B 照应结尾中的“I walk”。
22.C take one’s first step“迈出第一步”。
23.A 根据下文他的表现可知他“确信”他能做这件事。
24.C A项表“通过（常指从物体空间内部）”；B项表“靠着”；C项表“带有；用”；D项表“在……上边”。此处指他仅“拿着”一根平衡杆。
25.A 由上文的across（横穿）和后边的131 feet 可知此处指他所要走的距离。
26.B 很快上班高峰期的人们开始注意。
27.C 由本句后的感叹号和下文的空中行走可知此为一项奇迹。
28.D 由于在1 350英尺的高度，故此人看起来显得“很小”。
29.C 由back and forth “来来回回”可知走了“七趟”，故用“trip”。
30.A 上文中的...was walking on air和下文中他做的转身、坐下等动作可知，他对仅仅行走不满意。
31.B “甚至”还跪着走。
32.D 有一次，他竟然有令人惊奇的“勇气”躺在那根细绳上。
33.B 由后边的“心跳加速”可知是感到害怕。
34.A 由上文他所做的多种动作可知是一种“表演”。
35.B 由答语可知是问他为什么那样做。
阅读理解
36.D 第一段首先在主题句中指出人们外出旅行的原因多种多样，然后以“some”和“others”举出一些实例，最后以转折连词“but”点出欧洲游客对阳光特殊的追求。只有D项是大部分欧洲游客的旅行动机，所以选D。
37.C 由第三段中“Spain’s long sandy coastline attracts more people than anywhere else.”可知。
38.B 去西班牙旅行的游客人数与西班牙人口比例达1∶1,即 one to one ,因此“for”相当于“to”，所以选B。A项意为“与……相比”，C项意为“代表……”，D项意为“与……相反”，均不符合题意。
39.D 由最后一段可知，只有多雨的天气才能破坏游客们的兴致。
40.B当嫌疑犯快要招供时，墙上涂上蓝色时可加快嫌疑犯招供的速度。因为黄色使人放松，蓝色则能促进人们的交流。
41.D因为红色会增强攻击性。
42.A由文章第四段可知，a “live scan” system为“实时扫描系统”。
43.C文章讲述了监狱通过用蓝、黄等不同的颜色对疑犯的心理产生一定影响从而更有效地达到管理目的。
44.C 该题是细节考查题。从文章第一段中“...they discovered that the moon was full of underground cities. They expressed their surprise to the ‘moon people’ they met.”可知应选C。
45.B 该题是词义猜测题。由第一段最后一句话及第二段得知，it指上文提到的underground cities，也就是上一段提到的inner space。
46.B 该题是细节考查题。从第三段的“Many cities have underground car parks. In some cities, such as Tokyo, Seoul and Montreal, there are large underground shopping areas. The Chunnel, a tunnel connecting England and France, is now complete.”可知答案。
47.D 该题是一个主旨大意理解和概括题。首段已点到，最后一段首句又总结了地下开发的支持者的意见：Supporters of underground development say that building down rather than building up is a good way to use the earth’s space.由此我们可知应选Ｄ。
48.C 考查细节理解。根据第一段第三句“...the other women were all ordinary people who had never done anything like this in their lives before.” 可知应选C。
49.B 考查推理判断。根据最后一段前半部分的叙述可知她们明白作为团队的一部分，每个人都应尽力完成自己的工作，否则整个计划就会受到影响，其他人的努力都将化为泡影。由此可知应选B。
50.B 考查细节理解。根据第三段后半部分的描写可知应选B。
51.A 考查作者意图。前三段讲述了20名女士克服重重困难最终成功的故事，最后一段则剖析了她们成功的原因，所以最后一段才是文章的中心，它强调团队合作精神和坚定信念的力量，因此A项体现了作者的真正意图。
52.A 由第一段第二句话可知A项正确；由倒数第三段可知B项错误；由第一段最后一句话可知C项错误；D项说法片面，不完整。
53.C 由第四段内容可知“有些演员会接受报酬低廉的工作，因为就是这些工作能提高他们的社会地位”。
54.C 由倒数第二段中“they’re more realistic about their goals”可知。
55.A 由第五段内容可知如果现实与欲望之间的差距太大，有些人就会感到不是很幸福。

解析
1. complete改为completely，用副词作状语；
2. in改为on，night前有定语时用介词on；否则用at；
3. after改为before，根据逻辑关系应该是“在接受必须在车上度过那个晚上之前”，先转转看看。
4. can改为could，根据语境，此处应当是一般过去时态；
5. the改为a，第一次提到小房子，用a；
6. shone改为shining，此处是with的复合结构，shine与light之间是主动关系，故应当用动词-ing形式作宾语补足语。
7. knocked后加at/ on，敲门，knock是不及物动词，后加at或on。
8. was前加and ，并列谓语动词。
9. it改为there ，there be句型；
10. who删掉，前有but构成并列句，who多余，不能构成定语从句。

Last Saturday, our class traveled to a small town with beautiful scenery. It is a comfortable and quiet town, where the air is fresh and the water is clean. We played many kinds of sports there and learnt more about nature. However, because the town lies in a remote mountainous district, the locals are still leading a poor life. Therefore, I think the local government should take some measures and make full use of local natural resources to make the people’s lives better and make the town more prosperous.
