Print newspapers will soon be part of our history. While the Internet and some other media are rapidly developing in a world where people's lifestyles are more than busy, there seems to be less time for newspapers. The newspaper industry, in countries where newspapers dominated as a medium for many years, is now struggling more than ever.
Newspaper circulation (发行量) has been declining since over 20 years ago. “I foresee, in one or two generations, a society where you will access a newspaper only from a hand?held screen，” warns William Papatassos, Blue & Gold advisor.
The Internet attracts most of the younger people. The problem of newspapers is called “18 to 35?year?old people”. This group of people is not willing to replace the regular readers who grew up using this traditional medium. And they like to surf the Internet to search for information. Some experts predict that by 2043, in America and many other countries, newspapers will no longer exist.
Fortunately, print newspapers still exist and offer advantages to readers. “Newspapers encourage more thoughtful thinking，” says journalist Kathleen Jasonides. “At this point, there is still room for it. Some people do not like reading shortened articles online.”
But some newspapers including the Blue & Gold provide articles of online editions (版本), bearing in mind the increasing use of the Internet. However, the great variety of specialized information offered by many other websites prevents these online editions from developing. In addition, the newspaper industry has kept its best journalists for print; therefore the quality of articles is not the same.
The only thing that we know for sure is that print newspapers are facing a crisis due to lack of revenues (收入) from traditional advertising and the appearance of the Internet.
【解题导语】 本文主要讲述了报纸逐步失去它的主导地位，面临互联网等媒体的冲击。

A．are facing a greater opportunity
B．are always part of people's lifestyles

2．According to the passage, the people aged 18～35 ________.
A．aren't ready to use other media to replace newspapers
B．regard the Internet as a main source of news
C．are the regular readers of print newspapers
D．are growing up using the traditional medium

A．print newspapers have been gradually losing their readers since the 1980s
B．it is believed by some experts that newspapers will disappear in many countries by 2043
C．articles of online editions can increase newspapers' revenues
D．some newspapers provide articles of online editions due to the growing use of the Internet
解析：选C 细节理解题。C 项的表述在文章中并没有提及。第二段第一句告诉我们 A 项正确；第三段的最后一句告诉我们 B 项正确；由第五段的第一句可知 D 项正确。
4．We can most probably read this passage ________.
A．in a newspaper B．in a textbook
C．in a novel D．in a comic book

It was a long week for Amanda at school. She stayed after school to work on a special project (课题) three days in a row. When she got home on Friday, she dropped into the chair with a sigh.
“What's going on, Amanda？” her dad asked as he was reading the newspaper.
“I have to create a webpage for my technology class, and it is taking a lot more time than I thought it would，” Amanda answered.
Her dad looked over his newspaper and asked Amanda what the webpage was about.
“It's about the difference between newspaper news and Internet news，” Amanda said and added，“I have to provide information, examples and illustrations(插图)．”
“Sounds tough, do you have someone to help you？” her dad asked.
“I have a partner named Zach，” Amanda replied. “We did research on the Internet today and found some pictures to use.”
Then Amanda explained to her father the main differences: newspaper news is printed on paper, and Internet news is published online; newspaper news is only available once a day, and Internet news is published almost as soon as the news happens; many newspapers don't even print a daily paper, and Internet news is published around the clock.
Amanda's dad asked, “Which type of news do you like better？”
“I like Internet news better because I like to learn about the news when it happens，” she answered.
Her dad said，“I still like newspaper news better because I like to hold the paper in my hands and turn the pages.”
Amanda dropped into her chair again and said, “You are so old school, Dad.”

Have you ever been to the tiny Welsh village of Hay-on-Wye, situated on the River Wye on the Welsh-English border. In the distance, it looks like any other small European town. But Hay-on-Wye has a delightful quirk that sets it apart from other small towns. It's home to 1,400 people and hundreds of thousands of books, making it the largest center for second-hand books in the entire world.
You won't find a Barnes and Noble in Hay-on-Wye, but what you will find is over 30 charming, cozy second-hand bookshops rich with the smell of old books. (By the way, there's a scientific reason you love that smell.) There's a bookstore specializing in out-of-print children's books. A shop called “Murder and Mayhem” sells mainly crime and detective literature. And one outdoor bookshop, the Hay Castle Bookshop, is built around the walls of—you guessed it—a castle. How could a book lover possibly ask for anything more？(Though this is a Welsh town, it would be very easy to develop this Japanese literary habit here.)
One of the town's most unique features is its “honesty bookshops”. There are basically just bookshelves sitting out in the open, without a cashier or employee to speak of. A sign announces the prices of the books (which are often less than one U．S. dollar), and a collection box for money sits nearby. Customers are trusted to pay, on their honour. There are no security cameras or anything; just good old-fashioned trust.
Apart from being a popular tourist destination for literary fanatics throughout the entire year, Hay-on-Wye also throws a literary festival each year at the end of May. Bookworms from all over the world flock to this tiny village to hear famous writers speak, attend book signings, and, of course, stock up on reading material. And there's plenty for the kids to do (and read) too! Here, your child grows up loving to read.
【解题导语】 文章介绍了一个特别的欧洲小镇，它的人口没有书本多，书店没有营业员和收银员，每年举办吸引读书爱好者的文学节。

C．Travel. D．Health.
解析：选C 文章出处题。本文介绍这个小镇与众不同的特色，以及每年吸引众多读书爱好者的文学节，故这篇文章应出自杂志的旅游栏目。
Ⅳ.七选五
I have been living in Toulouse for over four months now and I can safely say that my ability to talk to French people has improved in an unbelievable way. __1__ I can tell you that these words proved to be true! Now I would like to share with you some of the things that have helped me to survive out in France.
1．Integrate (结合) with the culture and the people.

2．__3__
I joined a church in Toulouse and as a result I now have a place to go to practise my faith. If you are a religious person this point could really help you. If you enjoy your exercise, joining a gym is also a good idea.
3．Speak the language.
Even if you can't speak the local language well, at least you can make the effort to try and improve.__4__ And more people will want to talk to you if they know you have something to say.
4．Travel.
Travelling around the country passes the time but most importantly gives you memories that allow you to tell others of your experiences.
__5__ Trust me, you don't know how young and inexperienced you are until you live abroad for the first time.
A．Do as much exercise as you can.

【解题导语】 本文主要介绍的是在国外生活的四种技巧。
1．解析：选F 根据后面的“I can tell you that these words proved to be true！”可知，曾经有人告诉我在国外生活将促成我的成功，现在我可以告诉你这句话是正确的。故正确答案为F。
2．解析：选E 根据段落主题句“1.Integrate(结合) with the culture and the people.”和空后的“But this will lead to periods of boredom and loneliness.”可知，E项“工作后直接就回家很容易”符合语境。
3．解析：选C 根据空后的“joined a church ... joining a gym”可知，本段主要谈论的是“加入一些组织来帮助你认识更多的人”。
4．解析：选B 根据段落主题句“3.Speak the language.”和空前的“make the effort to try and improve”可知，B项“这样做可以帮助你说得更流利”符合语境。

Ⅱ.阅读理解
Along with its neighbors, Sweden features near the top of most sex equality rankings.The World Economic Forum rates it as having one of the narrowest sex gaps in the world.Sweden is not only a good place for a woman, but it appears to be one for new dads.Close to ninety percent of Swedish fathers take paternity leave(陪产假)．Last year some 340, 000 dads took a total of 12 million days' leave, that is, approximately seven weeks each.Women take even more leave days to spend time with their children, but the gap is shrinking.Why do Swedish dads take so much time off work to raise their children?
Over forty years ago Sweden became the first country in the world to introduce a paid parental leave allowance.Benefits consisted of ninety percent of wages for 180 days per child, and parents were free to share the days between them in whatever way they pleased.But the policy was hardly a hit with dads：in the policy's first year men took only 0.5% of all paid parental leave.
Today they take a quarter of it.One reason is that the policy has become more generous, with the number of paid leave days for the first child increasing from 180 to 480.In 1995 the first so-called “daddy month” was introduced.Under this reform, families in which each parent took at least one month of leave received an additional month to add to their total allowance.The policy was expanded in 2002 so that if the mother and father each took at least two months' leave, the family would get two extra months.Some politicians now want to go further, advocating that the present system of shared leave be turned into one of personal rights, under which mothers should be allowed to take only half of the family's allowance, with the rest reserved for fathers.
Since Swedish men started to take more responsibility for child upbringing, women have seen both their incomes and levels of self-reported happiness increase.Paying dads to change nappies(尿布) and hang out at playgrounds seems to benefit the whole family.
【解题导语】 瑞典是世界上第一个实行带薪父母假政策的国家。本文重点介绍了父亲陪产假政策的发展情况。
1．What can be a suitable title for the passage?
A．Swedish Sex Equality
B．Swedish Fathers' Paternity Leave
C．Swedish New Dad Policy
D．Swedish New Fathers' Family Role
解析：选B 标题归纳题。通读全文可知，本文的主题句是第一段的最后一句“Why do Swedish dads take so much time off work to raise their children？”；据此可知，本文主要说明在瑞典除了母亲可以休产假外，父亲也有很长时间的陪产假，故B项最能概括文意。
2．Why does Sweden appear a good place for new dads?
A．Sweden has the smallest global sex gap.
B．They feed their children instead of mothers.
C．Most of them are provided with paternity leave.
D．Swedish fathers take more leave days than mothers.
解析：选C 细节理解题。根据第一段的第三、四句可知，近90%的做父亲的瑞典男子可享受陪产假，故对于刚当上父亲的人来说，瑞典是个好地方，故C项正确。
3．How has the policy changed over time?
A．Fathers can have longer paternity leave.
B．Paternity leave decreases fathers' incomes.
C．Fathers take more responsibility than mothers.
D．Leave days are divided equally between parents.
解析：选A 推理判断题。根据第三段的“with the number of paid leave days for the first child increasing from 180 to 480”可知，A项正确。
4．What's the mothers' attitude towards the policy?
A．Uncertain. B．Approving.
C．Opposed. D．Cautious.
解析：选B 推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句中的“women have seen both their incomes and levels of self-reported happiness increase”可知，父亲的陪产假增加了母亲的幸福感；据此可以判断，母亲们赞同产假陪护，故B项正确。
Ⅲ.语法填空
In 1899, when Einstein studied at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich, his tutor was Minkevsky, a mathematician.
Once Einstein asked Minkevsky, “How can 1.________ person, like me, leave his footprints on the road of life and make an outstanding contribution in the 2.________(science) field？” It was a complex question. Minkevsky said he had to think about it carefully before 3.________(give) him an answer.
Three days later, Minkevsky told Einstein the answer was coming! He took Einstein towards a building site and there they set foot on the ground newly covered by cement(水泥), 4.________， of course, led to the workers blaming them. Einstein was 5.________(confuse), so he asked Minkevsky, “Sir, haven't you led me the wrong way？”
“Can't you see？”Minkevsky said.“On the old road surface that has long solidified and in those places which 6.________ (pass) through by countless steps, you cannot leave your footprints.”
Hearing that, Einstein thought long and nodded 7.________ (serious). From then on, his creativity was inspired. He said, “I never memorize and consider 8.________ dictionaries and manuals(手册) contain, for my brain only memorizes those things not 9.________ (include) in books.” It was in this way 10.________ Einstein left his deep footprints in the history of science.
1．解析： 考查不定冠词。 person是单数可数名词， 且此处表泛指， 故填a。
答案：a

April Fools' Day is a day to play jokes on others. Nobody knows how this holiday began ?but some people think it first started in France.
?In the early 16th century, people celebrated New Year from March 25th to April 1st. In the 1560s a king changed it and celebrated it only on January 1st. But some people still celebrated it on April 1st, so others called them April Fools.
Each country celebrates April Fools' Day differently. In America, people play small jokes on their friends. They may point down to your shoes and say, “Your shoelace is untied.” If you believe it, they call you “April Fool” then. ?In France, people call the April Fools “April Fish”. They put a paper fish on their friends' backs to fool them. ?In England, people play jokes only in the morning. You are called “April Noodle” if someone fools you.

第二部分 阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)
第一节 (共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
With smartphones rapidly becoming the most common mobile device (设备) throughout countries, an increasing number of teenagers have access to the Internet using their phones. And if they have access to the Internet they have access to Apps (an App is a small program designed to run on mobile devices). Most Apps popular with teenagers are either for play, connecting with friends, or both at the same time. Here are some of the most popular Apps teens are downloading at the moment.
Draw Something
It's a very popular App at the moment. It's an online version (版本) of Pictionary, where you invite friends on Facebook to compete. Each round you are given 3 words to choose from of which you must draw. Your competitor must guess correctly so that both of you can receive coins to buy additional colour tools.Fun for any age.
Instagram
This App is about sharing photos. Similar to Twitter, you follow people and they follow you. New photos show up in a “news feed” where you can comment on photos. You can also view popular photos and have the choice of making your photos public (everyone can see them) and anyone can “follow” you. It's a good idea to consider privacy settings as once photos are uploaded (上传) anyone can have access to them.
Viddy
Similar to Instagram, except it's all about videos. Film a video and immediately upload it. Again people can follow you and you can follow people. You can see “what's hot” — the most popular and newest videos. In addition you can share videos you have.
Oldify
This is fun and easy to use. Upload a photo of yourself or a friend by either taking a photo or using one from your photo library, line up the eyes and lips, press a button and the photo of you or the person you uploaded will appear as a person 50 years older! By touching the screen the face will react.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了四款青少年喜欢的手机应用程序。

22．When using Instagram，users should ________.

B．comment on their friends' photos
C．pay special attention to their privacy
D．follow people to view popular photos
解析：选C 细节理解题。由Instagram介绍内容中的“It's a good idea to consider privacy settings as once photos are uploaded(上传)anyone can have access to them.”可知，当用户在使用Instagram这款应用程序时，最好考虑隐私设置，因为一旦照片被上传，任何人都可以访问它们。
23.What do we know about Oldify?
A．It helps users to beautify their photos.
B．It allows users to share their opinions.
C．It is a frightening but fun online game.

B
It was a tough year for my family. Whenever my mom looked over at the Christmas tree, she would sigh and warn us, “There won't be as much for Christmas this year. Try not to be disappointed.”
Christmas had traditionally been a time for my parents to spoil us. In years past, the presents would pile up and spill out from under the tree, taking over the living room. I had heard the phrase “giving is better than receiving”， but thought that whoever had said that must have been out of their mind. Getting presents was the whole point! It was the reason I couldn't get to sleep on Christmas Eve.
On Christmas morning, we eagerly waited in the hallway until Dad told us everything was ready. We rushed into the living room and let the wrapping paper fly. We made weak attempts to wait and watch while other family members opened their presents, but as the time passed we lost our self-control.
“Here's another one for you，” said Mom as she handed me a package. I looked at it, confused. Having spent so much time examining the presents before Christmas, I recognized this one. But it had not been mine. It was my mom's. A new label had been put on it, with my name written in my mother's handwriting.
“Mom, I can't...”
I was stopped by my mother's eager, joyful look—a look I could not really understand. “Let's see what it is, honey. Hurry and open it.”
It was a blow dryer (吹风机). Though this might seem to be a simple gift, to me it was so much more. Being an 11-year-old girl, I was shocked. In my world, where receiving outweighed giving in the last years, my mom's act of selflessness was incomprehensible (无法理解的). It was a huge act. Tears filled my eyes and I thought in disbelief about how much my mom must love me to give up her Christmas present so I could have a few more presents.
【解题导语】 作者在圣诞节收到了一份特殊的礼物——一个本来属于母亲的吹风机。母亲的关爱让作者懂得了一个道理：给予比接受更让人快乐。
24．Why would the author's mom sigh before Christmas?
A．She couldn't afford to buy a Christmas tree.
B．She was afraid she wouldn't get a Christmas present.
C．She couldn't afford to buy enough Christmas presents.
D．She was afraid her children would be spoiled on Christmas.
解析：选C 细节理解题。根据第一段第一句及母亲的话可知，她在圣诞节前经常叹息是因为那年家里的经济条件不好，她无法给孩子们买足够的圣诞礼物。
25．What made the author unable to sleep on Christmas Eve?
A．Giving Christmas presents to others.
B．Waiting for Christmas presents.
C．A blow dryer from her mother.
D．The tough situation of her family.
解析：选B 细节理解题。根据第二段最后两句可知，在作者当时看来，收到圣诞礼物就是圣诞节的全部意义所在，这使她在圣诞节前夕激动得无法入睡。
26．The author's mom put on a new label on the present to ________.
A．hide a truth
B．expose a secret
C．exchange her gift with her daughter
D．make the present look more special
解析：选A 细节理解题。根据第四段可知，母亲之所以换掉礼物上的标签，并写上作者的名字，是因为她不想让女儿知道自己放弃了礼物，故A项正确。
27．How did the author feel when she received the blow dryer?
A．Excited but worried.
B．Delighted but doubtful.
C．Surprised and moved.
D．Disappointed and curious.
解析：选C 推理判断题。根据最后一段第三句和最后一句可推知，作者拿到吹风机后不但感到吃惊，而且感动得热泪盈眶。
C
At school, I was in the top set for maths.My teachers recommended that I study economics and statistics as my A-level subjects, but I had my mind set on a life fulfilled by the arts.
In fact, I was a victim of a gender_stereotype made stronger since birth, that men do science and maths and women do arts or languages.Computer science, technology and physics just did not figure in my teenage world view.Nobody popular in my school chose to study those subjects.
Reality struck hard when I began attending job interviews and interviewers would say, “It's great that you speak foreign languages, but what else do you do？” Nobody asked my friends who had studied science or technology this kind of questions.
A survey recently showed that three of the best-paid jobs for women are in the technology sector.It's a sector that really can change the world.We must show girls that technology has an effect on every industry out there, from fashion to architecture to journalism.Anybody can learn to code and these days it's as important as reading and writing.I've realized that at university I'd achieved the wrong kind of literacy.Not being able to code limits your impact on the world far more than some ignorance of great literature.
Now I have a five-year-old daughter.I don't want her to blindly follow gender roles the way I did.I want her to know the fact that a science or technical degree will not limit her creativity but expand it and broaden her horizons far more than my arts background could.I'm exposing her to Minecraft and apps, which help improve analytical thinking and problem-solving skills.I'm hoping that my daughter will discover and accept her potential in science and want to change the world.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。通过切身经历，“我”讲述了传统性别观念对自己的负面影响。如今，作为一个五岁女孩的母亲，“我”希望她不要受到这种影响，而是在学习和职业上作出明智的选择。
28．What does the underlined phrase“gender stereotype” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A．Personal learning style.
B．Sex characteristic.
C．Conventional sex concept.
D．Profession difference.
解析：选C 词义猜测题。根据第二段，尤其是该段第一句“In fact, I was a victim of...women do arts or languages.”可知， 事实上，“我”自出生以来就是传统性别观念的受害者， 人们始终认为男性适合科学和数学，而女性适合艺术或语言。据此可以判断，画线部分意指“传统性别观念”，故C项正确。
29．According to the author, which may be the benefit of learning science?
A．Increasing job possibility.
B．Winning popularity.
C．Improving language competence.
D．Enriching imagination.
解析：选A 推理判断题。根据第三段可知， 尽管“我”会外语， 但是用人单位还是想要科学技术类人才；结合第四段第一句“A survey recently showed that three of the best-paid jobs for women are in the technology sector.”可知， 最近的调查显示， 三份收入最高的女性的工作是在科技行业。据此可以判断， 作者认为学习科技能增加就业机会， 故A项正确。
30．How did the author feel for her major choice?
A．Satisfied. B.Active.
C．Discouraged. D.Regretful.
解析：选D 推理判断题。根据第三、四段可知， 尽管“我”会外语， 但是用人单位还是想要科学技术类人才，最近的调查显示三份收入最高的女性的工作是在科技行业； 结合第二段中的“victim” 和第五段中的“blindly” 可以判断，“我”对自己的专业选择很后悔。D项意为“后悔的”， 符合文意。
31．What may be the best title for the text?
A．Art or Science, Either Is OK
B．Good Subjects, Good Future
C．Girls, Choose More Wisely
D．Catch Chances, Change the World
解析：选C 标题归纳题。通读全文可知， 上学时“我”的最佳学科是数学， 老师建议“我”学习经济学和统计学，但是由于受传统性别观念认为男性适合科学和数学，而女性则适合艺术或语言的影响，最终“我”选择了学习文科。在求职过程中，“我”屡屡碰壁。如今，作为一个五岁女孩的母亲，“我”希望她不受传统性别观念的影响，勇敢地选择学习科学技术，改变世界。据此可以判断，C项最适合作本文的标题。B项“好的科目，好的未来”表述太宽泛。
D
Most of the 20th century has been a development on the Industrial Revolution taken to an extreme: people now own more products than ever before; there are enough nuclear weapons to destroy the earth several times over; there is hardly any forest left and pollution has got to the point where we buy water. Within a few years I predict you will be able to buy air. (There once was a time when you didn't need to buy food or shelter either.)
Important developments in the last century are the breaking down of the class structures left over from the Industrial Revolution stage, bringing with it the empowerment of the “common man”： the working day is set by law to only 8 hours a day; everyone has the vote; the media has less obvious government control; people have landed on the moon, sent spacecrafts to Mars and so on. Families have also shrunk drastically (剧烈地); the nuclear family came about, and especially in the last half of the 20th century, one-parent families are becoming more common. This shrinking in the size of the family shows the increased independence of people—once upon a time people had to live in large groups to survive.
As humans have “become the gods”， they have realized their individuality and independence and taken their control of the world to an extreme. In many countries the land is almost completely used in the production of food and as living space and they live in small cities which are entirely human constructed, made from materials which are also entirely human constructed (concrete bricks) with hardly any remains of nature. Weeds are poisoned because they are messy; even parks have trees grown in tidy lines; grass is mowed to keep it short and so on. I think the massive drug “problem” troubling people is a result of too much of this influence, humans needing to escape the stark world they have created by entering fantasy worlds.
Over the last 100 years, the 20th century consciousness has spread throughout the world; most of Asia has been thoroughly “Westernized”， and most of the Third World is being overrun by Western ways of doing things and living.
【解题导语】 作者通过本文告诉我们，随着现代社会的发展，人类对自然环境造成了很大的破坏，人们生活在一个枯燥无味的世界里……
32．What's the author most concerned about?
A．The influence of pollution.
B．Strong effects of development.
C．Changed positions of humans as gods.
D．The process of the Industrial Revolution.
解析：选B 推理判断题。由第一段可以得出答案，即现代社会的快速发展带来了很多强烈的影响。这正是作者所担心的问题。因此B项符合题意。
33．What is the author's attitude towards the changes of the 20th century?
A．Objective. B．Tolerant.
C．Vague. D．Negative.
解析：选D 观点态度题。结合全文尤其是第一段第一句和第三段第一句中的“to an extreme”可知，作者对20世纪的发展所导致的结果是持否定态度的。
34．What does the underlined word “stark” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A．Unfair. B．Illegal.
C．Dull. D．Violent.
解析：选C 词义猜测题。unfair意思是“不公平的”；illegal意思是“违法的”；dull意思是“枯燥无味的，无趣的”；violent意思是“暴力的”。根据前面几句话中对现实世界的描述可知，C项符合语境，即由于现代社会的快速发展，世界变得很枯燥，完全脱离了自然的影子。
35．What can be inferred from the passage?
A．Men's individuality is over controlled.
B．People have damaged nature too much.
C．Men's independence is partially limited.
D．People show concern for nuclear families.
解析：选B 推理判断题。根据全文内容，尤其是倒数第二段可知B项正确。即随着现代社会的发展，人类对自然环境造成了严重的破坏。其他几项与原文内容不符。

阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
Many years ago I was on a bicycle trip through some countryside. Suddenly, dark clouds __41__ up overhead and rain began to fall, but __42__ to relate, several hundred yards ahead of me the sun shone brilliantly. I rode as rapidly as I could. __43__， I found it impossible to get into the clear. The __44__ with their rain kept advancing faster than I could __45__ forward. I continued this unequal __46__ for an exhausting half hour, before realizing that I could not win my way to the bright area ahead of me.
Then it dawned on (使开始明白) me that I was __47__ my strength, while paying no attention to the __48__ for the sake of which I was making the trip.
The storm could not last forever and the discomfort was not __49__. Indeed, there was much to look at that might otherwise have __50__ me. I saw colors, lines and contours (轮廓) that would have appeared __51__ under brilliant light. My anger at the rain was __52__ and my desire to escape it disappeared. It had __53__ me with a new view and helped me understand that the sources of beauty and satisfaction may be found close at hand within the __54__ of one's own sensibility (感受能力)．
It made me think, then and later, about other matters to which this incident was __55__. It helped me realize that there is no __56__ in fleeing from circumstances and conditions which cannot be __57__， but I could bravely meet and often turned them to good ones. I know that half the battle is won if I can face trouble with __58__， disappointment with spirit, and victory with humility (谦虚). It has become __59__ to me that danger is far from disaster, that defeat may be the forerunner of final victory, and that all achievements are fragile __60__ based on enduring principles of moral conduct.
【解题导语】 一次淋雨的经历让作者明白了这样一个道理：对于无法避免的事情，逃避是毫无意义的，只要面对困难不失勇气，面对失望不沮丧，面对成功不骄傲，那我们的人生之战便取得了一半的胜利。
41．A.climbed B．piled
C．picked D．went
解析：选B 由下文的“and rain began to fall”可知此处指乌云密布。pile up意为“堆放，叠放”，符合语境。
42．A.strange B．skeptical
C．optimistic D．constant
解析：选A 但说来奇怪的是，前面几百码的地方却阳光普照，strange to relate的意思是“说来也奇怪”，符合语境。
43．A.Therefore B．Moreover
C．However D．Otherwise
解析：选C 作者尽可能快地骑自行车却发现怎么也到不了那片阳光普照的地方。上下句之间存在转折关系，所以用However。
44．A.winds B．sky
C．sun D．clouds
解析：选D 云和雨不断向前，远快于作者骑车前进的速度。
45．A.race B．drive
C．watch D．look
解析：选A 联系空前的“their rain kept advancing faster”以及空后的“forward”可知，“我”向前赶。
46．A.struggle B．contest
C．trip D．power
解析：选B 云和雨的速度远比作者要快，因此说这是不公平的竞赛。
47．A.gathering B．recovering
C．saving D．wasting
解析：选D 作者突然明白这是在白费力气。
48．A.landscape B．pleasure
C．hurry D．feeling
解析：选A 作者去旅行的目的是看风景，但现在却只顾赶路而忽略了途中的风景，故选A。
49．A.adequate B．uncertain
C．slight D．unbearable
解析：选D 作者认为淋雨这种不舒服的感觉并不是不能忍受的。adequate“足够的，合格的”；uncertain“不确定的”；slight“微小的”，均不符合语境。
50．A.interested B．pleased
C．escaped D．found
解析：选C 作者认为事实上，在雨中有很多可能会错过的值得看的风景。
51．A.beautifully B．slowly
C．fortunately D．differently
解析：选D 作者在雨中所欣赏到的美景和在太阳照耀的时候会有所不同。
52．A.great B．gone
C．obvious D．hard
解析：选B 根据空后的disappeared可知，此空与之并列，指作者对于下雨的怒火熄灭了，而且渴望逃离这个地方的想法也消失了。
53．A.provided B．replaced
C．compared D．equipped
解析：选A 雨天为作者提供了美丽的景致。replace“代替”；compare“对比”；equip“装备”，均不符合语境。
54．A.range B．demand
C．process D．contribution
解析：选A 此处用range表示“美与满足在人们能够感受到的范围之内”。
55．A.devoted B．applied
C．related D．adjusted
解析：选C 这件事情使“我”时不时地思考与之有关的其他事。be related to“与……有关系”符合语境。
56．A.doubt B．way
C．sense D．wonder
解析：选C 逃离这些情况是没有意义的。There is no sense in doing sth.表示“做某事没有意义”，符合语境。
57．A.treated B．received
C．understood D．avoided
解析：选D 那些情况是不可避免的。
58．A.hesitation B．courage
C．difficulty D．ease
解析：选B with后接的“spirit，humility”等词都属于褒义词，故B正确，表示“鼓起勇气去面对困难”。
59．A.secret B．clearer
C．stranger D．private
解析：选B 由于下面讲的道理是作者通过以上的情况感悟出来的，所以此处应用clearer，表示“这些道理作者更清楚了”，感悟更递进一层。
60．A.unless B．once
C．when D．though
解析：选A 一切成就都是脆弱不堪的，除非它们能经得起道德准则的持久考验，用unless表示条件“除非”。
第二节 (共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分)
阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Astronomers have taken the first ever image of a black hole, which is located in a distant galaxy 61.________ (call) M 87. The black hole is 500 million trillion km away and was photographed by a network of eight telescopes 62.________ the world. It is larger than the size of the entire Solar System, and has a mass 6.5 billion times that of the Sun. The image shows an 63.________ (extreme) bright “ring of fire”， surrounding a perfectly circular dark hole. The light is 64.________ (bright) than all the billions of other stars in the galaxy, which is why it can be seen at such 65.________ distance from Earth. The edge of the dark circle at the center is the point at which the gas 66.________ (enter) the black hole, which has such a large gravitational pull (万有引力) 67.________ even light cannot escape. Chinese 68.________ (scientist) were also involved in the observation, data processing and theoretical analysis. Shanghai and Taipei 69.________ (select) as two of the cities to hold news conferences, together with Washington, Brussels, Santiago and Tokyo, a 70.________ (recognize) of China's contribution.
【解题导语】 1915年，物理学家爱因斯坦发表广义相对论，提出了一个大胆的假设：宇宙中存在一种引力和密度都无限大的宇宙天体——黑洞。在它周围一定区域内，有个连光线也无法逃离的势力范围，这一势力范围叫作“事件视界(event horizon)”。在相当长一段时期内，黑洞预言无法证实。这一看不见、摸不着，却长久以来存在于科学家们想象和推算中的神秘天体，究竟是否存在？“但目前，天文学家普遍相信黑洞确实存在于宇宙之中。”中科院上海天文台研究员路如森介绍。 人类首次看见黑洞，原来它长这样。
61．解析：考查非谓语动词。call与galaxy是逻辑上的动宾关系，应用过去分词作后置定语，故填called。
答案：called
62．解析：根据语境“世界各地”可知该处填介词across/throughout。
答案：across/throughout
63．解析：考查词性转换。设空在句中作状语，修饰形容词bright，应用副词作状语，故填extremely。
答案：extremely
64．解析：考查比较级。设空后是比较级提示词than，故该处填比较级。
答案：brighter
65．解析：考查冠词。at a distance“隔开一定的距离”。
答案：a
66．解析：考查动词的时态。which引导的定语从句谓语与主句谓语is一致，应用一般现在时，故填enters。
答案：enters
67．解析：考查状语从句。该处指的是“黑洞的万有引力如此之大，以至光都无法逃脱”可知该处填that，构成such...that...“如此……以至……”结果状语从句。
答案：that
68．解析：考查名词的数。该句谓语是were，故主语用复数名词，故填scientists。
答案：scientists
69．解析：考查动词的时态和语态。主语Shanghai and Taipei与select是被动关系，应用被动语态，根据前一句的谓语动词were可知该处应用一般过去时，故填were selected。
答案：were selected
70．解析：考查词性转换。设空前是不定冠词a，设空后是介词of，故设空处填名词，a recognition of“对……的认可”。
答案：recognition

One possible version：
Dear_Tom，
I'm_glad_to_know_that_you_are_coming_to_China. Knowing that you are wondering what preparations should be made for this journey, I'd like to offer you some advice.
To begin with, I suggest that you should learn some basic Chinese, especially words and expressions for daily communication, which will help you avoid some unnecessary misunderstandings when travelling. What's more, it will be wonderful if you can check on the transportation in advance. China is such a large country that there are various means of transport, for which you'd better decide on your route and choose the suitable one. Last but not least, why don't you go to some Chinese restaurants in America and try the food there? This will help you better adapt to the eating habits in China. I hope you can find these suggestions helpful.
In a word, good preparations will certainly contribute to an enjoyable journey. I sincerely hope that you can have an unforgettable experience in China. Looking forward to seeing you soon!
Yours，
Li Hua
