A
The horse I'm riding is named Candy, which is appropriate, taking account of her love for eating. As we go our way down the mountain of Big Bend National Park, Texas, I'm sweating—half due to the hot weather, half due to an effort to stay on the horse. Candy, however, is relaxed and stops to eat cactuses (仙人掌) as she passes. She is used to the dusty trails through hills and canyons (大峡谷) and ignores my attempts to guide her away from her delicious food. Our ride becomes a battle of will, which Candy wins easily. I comfort myself by admiring the views across Big Bend's wide open spaces.
Texas only national park, Big Bend, extends across 800,000 acres of the Chihuahuan Desert, in the deep southwest of the state right along the border with Mexico. It is named after the U-turn that the Rio Grande River makes here. It has seen a lot of fights. The Spanish, Anglo-American settles, Mexicans, and Apache and Comanche American Indians all fought to rule this place.
Our group member, Mike, knows every corner of the park and describes it as “sort of a secret place”. Even some Texans don't know about Big Bend, he says. Other local people describe it as a forgotten national park. Compared with the almost five million travellers that descend_on the Grand Canyon every year, only 30,000 make it here.
There are six of us in the riding group, all fairly inexperienced, led by tour guides, Linda and Janelle, who keep both us and the horses in line. We trek along the top of an 800-foot mountain, with wide-winged eagles flying beside us. The air is noiseless.
The park is fantastic for hikes and has a variety of marked walking paths. The walk is a five-mile round trip. While the final stretch is rather steep, the views over giant canyons and plains are worth the effort.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。作者描述骑着马在Big Bend National Park, Texas旅游的经历。作者在艰难的旅途之后感觉是值得的。
1.What can we learn from the first paragraph?
A.The writer is relaxed while riding.
B.The writer wants to punish Candy for not walking straight.
C.The writer is good at riding a horse on the mountain.
D.The writer can hardly guide Candy away from the cactuses.
解析:选D 推理判断题。根据第一段中“She is used to the dusty trails through hills and canyons(大峡谷) and ignores my attempts to guide her away from her delicious food. Our ride becomes a battle of will, which Candy wins easily.”可知,作者很难把Candy从仙人掌旁引开。故选D。
2.We can learn all of the following about Big Bend National Park EXCEPT that ________.
A.it is the only national park in Texas
B.it is located right along the border with Mexico
C.Texans fought to rule this place in the past
D.it is described as a “forgotten national park”
解析:选C 推理判断题。根据第二段中“The Spanish, Anglo-American settles, Mexicans, and Apache and Comanche American Indians all fought to rule this place.(西班牙人、英裔美国人、墨西哥人、阿帕奇人和科曼奇印第安人都为统治这个地方而战。)”由此推知,C项“德克萨斯人过去曾为统治这个地方而战”的说法是错误的。故答案为C。
3.In the third paragraph, the underlined words, “descend on”, can be replaced by ________.
A.think highly of it B.pay a visit to
C.make an attack on D.pass by
解析:选B 词义猜测题。根据第三段中“Other local people describe it as a forgotten national park. Compared with the almost five million travellers that descend on the Grand Canyon every year, only 30,000 make it here.(其他当地人把它描述为一个被遗忘的国家公园。与每年来大峡谷旅游的近500万游客相比,只有3万人能来这里。)”由此推知画线词的意思是“来访,访问”,故选B。
4.Which word can best describe the author's feelings after the hard journey?
A.Worthwhile. B.Upset.
C.Grateful. D.Tired.
解析:选A 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“While the final stretch is rather steep, the views over giant canyons and plains are worth the effort.”可知,最能描述作者在艰难的旅途之后感受的词是“值得的”。故选A。
B
Below are some comments from the community.Please feel free to add to the list.
?Some fantasy readers are unhappy with their lives and think that they would be happier in another world.Someone who is not so successful in this world might be a hero or king in another world.—Lucy
?I like reading fantasy books because they provide me with a different point of view on the world.I like to think about it using the analogy(类比) of the house that you live in but will never be able to understand if you don't ever get outside and look at it from another perspective(视角).—Martin
?You can see a lot of tiny details in fantasy books that you may somehow lose in your everyday life just because they aren't getting enough of your attention.Understand them and they'll make your life more colourful and interesting.—Jordan
?A lot of fantasy is about the world we would like to see.Fantasy novels are extremely popular,but most popular with children.This is probably due to the natural curiosity and creative imagination inherent (固有的) in nearly every young person.Older readers might enjoy fantasy because of its imaginative scope.People can relate to the feelings and experiences of fantasy characters.—Ahmed
?I like reading fantasy because I have a great imagination which I find is better used while reading fantasy than in everyday life.In fantasy there is no real right or wrong.Furthermore,I believe there really is magic,but people just don't realise it because it works in subtle ways,and you may not recognise it for what it is.—Chris
?Many people like to escape from the busy and noisy life and be attracted by a story which involves something special,unreal or different—possibly magic.People enjoy being in someone else's shoes—someone extraordinary,so that we can look at the world through another's eyes.You can switch off and enjoy letting your imagination run wild.—Emily

Ⅱ.阅读理解
A
No poem should ever be discussed or analyzed,until it has been read aloud by someone,teacher or student.Better still,perhaps,is the practice of reading it twice,once at the beginning of the discussion and once at the end.All discussions of poetry are,in fact,preparations for reading it aloud,and the reading of the poem is,finally,the most telling “interpretation” of it,suggesting tone,rhythm,and meaning all at once.Hearing a poet read the work in his or her own voice,on records or on films,is obviously a special reward.But even those aids to teaching cannot replace the student and the teacher reading it or,best of all,reciting it.
I have come to think,in fact,that time spent reading a poem aloud is much more important than analyzing it,if there isn't time for both.I think one of our goals as teachers of English is to have students love poetry.Poetry is a criticism of life,and a heightening(提升)of life.It is an approach to the truth of feeling,and it can save your life.
I am not saying that every English teacher must teach poetry.Those who don't like it should not be forced to put that dislike on anyone else.But those who do teach poetry must keep in mind a few things about its essential nature,about its sound as well as its sense,and they must make room in the classroom for hearing poetry as well as thinking about it.

In Save Money:Good Food,she visits a different home each week and with the help of chef Matt Tebbutt offers top tips on how to reduce food waste,while preparing recipes for under £5 per family a day.And the Good Morning Britain presenter says she's been able to put a lot of what she's learnt into practice in her own home,preparing meals for sons,Sam,14,Finn,13,and Jack,11.
“We love Mexican churros,so I buy them on my phone from my local Mexican takeaway restaurant,” she explains.“I pay £5 for a portion (一份),but Matt makes them for 26p a portion,because they are flour,water,sugar and oil.Everybody can buy takeaway food,but sometimes we're not aware how cheaply we can make this food ourselves.”
The eight-part series (系列节目),Save Money:Good Food,follows in the footsteps of ITV's Save Money:Good Health,which gave viewers advice on how to get value from the vast range of health products on the market.
With food our biggest weekly household expense,Susanna and Matt spend time with a different family each week.In tonight's Easter special they come to the aid of a family in need of some delicious inspiration on a budget.The team transforms the family's long weekend of celebration with less expensive but still tasty recipes.

At the start of 2012,I set myself the challenge of trying to read a book from every country in a year to find out what I was missing.
So I created a blog called “A Year of Reading the World” and put out an appeal for suggestions of titles that I could read in English.
The response was amazing.Before I knew it,people all over the planet were getting in touch with ideas and offers of help.Some posted me books from their home countries.Others did hours of research on my behalf.In addition,several writers,like Panama's Juan David Morgan,sent me unpublished translations of their novels,giving me a rare opportunity to read works otherwise unavailable to the 62 percent of Britons who only speak English.Even with such an extraordinary team of bibliophiles (藏书家) behind me,however,sourcing books was no easy task.
This was particularly true for Portuguese-speaking African countries.There's precious little on offer for states such as the Comoros,Madagascar and Mozambique—I had to rely on unpublished manuscripts for several of these.
Then there were places where stories are rarely written down.If you're after a good yarn(故事) in the Marshall Islands,for example,you're more likely to go and ask the local chief's permission to hear one of the local storytellers than you are to pick up a book.
All in all,tracking down stories like these took as much time as the reading.It was a tall order to fit it all in around work and many were the nights when I sat bleary-eyed into the small hours to make sure I stuck to my target of reading one book every 1.87 days.
But the effort was worth it.As I made my way through the planet's literary landscapes,extraordinary things started to happen.Far from simply armchair traveling,I found I was inhabiting the mental space of the storytellers.It took me inside the thoughts of individuals living far away and showed me the world through their eyes.These stories not only opened my mind to the nuts and bolts of life in other places,but opened my heart to the way people there might feel.
One by one,the country names on the list that had begun as an intellectual exercise at the start of the year transformed into vibrant places filled with laughter,love,anger,hope and fear.Lands that had once seemed exotic and remote became close and familiar to me—places I could identify with.At its best,I learned,fiction makes the world real.
【解题导语】 本文讲述了作者为实现自己用一年时间读来自世界上的每个国家的一本书的挑战,所做的努力和得到的收获。

C
He lived his whole life as a poor man.His art and talent were recognised by almost no one.He suffered from a mental illness that led him to cut off part of his left ear in 1888 and to shoot himself two years later.But after his death,he achieved world fame.Today,Dutch artist Van Gogh is recognised as one of the leading artists of all time.
150 years after his birth on March 30,1853,Zundert,the town of his birth,made 2003“The Van Gogh Year” in his honor.And the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam,home to the biggest collection of his masterpieces,marked the anniversary with exhibitions throughout the year.The museum draws around 1.3 million visitors every year.Some people enjoy the art and then learn about his life.Others are interested in his life,which then helps them understand his art.
Van Gogh was the son of a pastor.He left school when he was just 15.By the age of 27,he had already tried many jobs including an art gallery salesman and a French teacher.Finally in 1880,he decided to begin his studies in art.
Van Gogh is famed for his ability to put his own emotions (情感) into his paintings and show his feelings about a scene.His style is marked by short,broad brush strokes (绘画笔法).“Instead of trying to reproduce exactly what I have before my eyes,I use colors more freely,in order to express myself more forcibly,” he wrote in a letter to his brother in 1888.
Van Gogh sold only one painting during his short life.He relied heavily on support from his brother,an art dealer who lived in Paris.But now his works are sold for millions of dollars.His portrait of Dr.Gacher sold for US $89.5 million in 1990.It is the highest price ever paid for a painting.“I think his paintings are powerful and the brilliant colors in them are attractive to people,” said a Van Gogh's fan.

解析:选C 推理判断题。通读全文可知,凡·高在1880年投身于绘画艺术,1890年开枪自杀,由此可推断,他的作品都创作于生命中的最后十年。故C项正确。
D
Art researchers have found a hidden painting of a man under one of Pablo Picasso's masterpieces,The Blue Room.By using infrared imagery (红外线) they discovered that the hidden man under the painting was a man with his face resting on his hand.Now the question that scientists at The Phillips Collection hope to answer is simple.Who is he?
The finding of the hidden man in The Blue Room leads to new research about the 1901 painting which was created by Picasso in Pairs at the start of his blue period of unhappiness.Researchers discovered that the hidden man was painted in a reworked composition by Picasso.They are sure that it is not a self-portrait.They think it might be the Paris art dealer Ambrose Villard who hosted Picasso's first show in 1901,but there's no record or evidence to prove this,so the research continues.
Hidden pictures have been found under other important Picasso paintings,such as La Vie and Woman Ironing.A technical analysis of La Vie at the Cleveland Museum of Art also found that Picasso reworked the painting's composition.And scientists found a portrait of a man under Picasso's painting Woman Ironing at the Guggenheim Museum in Manhattan.
Dorothy Kosinski,the director of The Phillips Collection,said more new knowledge about Picasso's paintings can be discovered through high-tech cooperation among museums.“Our audiences are curious about the high-tech research because it can help them know more about the paintings.It's giving them a doorway to make them understand Picasso's paintings more,”she said.“The more we can understand,the greater our appreciation of the painting will be.”
【解题导语】 研究者们运用红外成像(技术)发现在毕加索的《蓝色房间》里画中有画,这个隐藏的男子肖像会是谁呢?

One possible version:
Dear_Lucy,
I_am_glad_to_tell_you_something_about_my_favorite_poem.You know,I like Robert Burns very much.My favorite poem is My love is like a red,red rose.In this poem,Burns compares the woman he loves dearly to a red rose that is in full bloom in June.Whenever I read the poem,a red rose will appear in my mind.Though the words he uses are simple and easy to understand,Burns expresses his feelings so powerfully that I am deeply impressed.From his poem I know he is passionate about love and he loves the woman deeply.Besides,I like the rhymes at the end of the sentences,which make the poem read well.Have you ever read poems by Burns? How do you like them?
