主题公园游玩小贴士让你的主题公园之行省钱、省时又好玩！
Tips for a Successful Theme Park Visit
A trip to a theme park can be a fun and memorable experience for a family(or a group of friends). But let’s face it: waiting for hours in lines, getting sunburned and spending $5 on a bottle of water can make it feel a bit less magical. Luckily, a little planning can help you save money and skip(跳过) the long lines. Follow these four tips for a smooth theme park vacation.
Look for discounts(折扣) on tickets
Don’t go straight to the park website to buy tickets; do some research first to make sure you’re getting the best price possible. Check travel deals websites, such as TicketsatWork and Groupon, and look for discounts through memberships you may already have, such as Costco and AAA.
Research rides in advance
Before your trip, decide which rides and attractions are your top choices, and find out where they’re located. If you’re traveling with kids, research height requirements as well so you know which rides are no-gos.
Plan your meals
Book in advance so you’re not stuck waiting in line for food.(Popular restaurants can book up months in advance, so check this off your to-do list well before your trip.) If you’re on a budget, consider packing lunch in a cooler and putting it in a locker. When you’re ready for a break, you can find a shady spot for a quick bite.
Get there early
It’s tempting(诱惑人的) to sleep in while you’re on vacation, but getting to the parks as soon as they open is so worth it. You’ll be able to ride the most popular rides before the lines get too long, and you’ll enjoy several hours at the park before the hottest part of the day. When the crowds start to arrive, you’ll be ready for a break in the shade.

多莉山主题公园(Dollywood)，坐落在美国田纳西州的皮格佛格。美国乡村乐坛有史以来最富创造力的著名歌手——多莉·帕顿于1986年在自己的家乡田纳西收购了一家衰败的、古老的公园并在此基础上创建了这个公园，该公园是以美国东南部民俗文化为主题的公园。
卡默洛特公园(Camelot Park)，也译作卡梅伦魔术王国公园，位于英国兰开斯特，以传说中亚瑟王居住的宫殿Camelot来命名。公园根据中世纪亚瑟王和圆桌骑士的情景布置，有奇幻的魔术表演、骑士表演和音乐演奏会等内容。

Every area of the park is modelled after life in the days of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. In one place, you can watch magic shows with Merlin the Wizard.

Do you like animals? Then visit the farm area, and learn how people in ancient England ran their farms and took care of their animals.To enter a world of fantasy about ancient England, come to Camelot Park ！
主题公园——娱乐又
不仅仅是娱乐
你想参观哪一个主题公园呢？有各种各样的主题公园，不同的公园有不同的主题，但几乎囊括了一切：食物、文化、科学、卡通、电影或历史。一些公园因为拥有最大或者最长的过山车而闻名，另一些则因展示了某一文化中那些著名的视觉景象和声音而闻名。不论你喜欢哪一个，不管你喜欢什么，都会有一个适合你的主题公园！

位于美国东南部美丽的斯莫基山脉中的多莉山主题公园，是世界上最独特的主题公园之一。多莉山主题公园展示并颂扬美国东南部的传统文化。尽管多莉山主题公园有供乘骑的游乐设施，但该公园最具吸引力的还是它的文化。著名的乡村音乐乐团全年都会在室内和露天的剧院里演出。美国各地的人来到这里观看木匠和其他的工匠用老式的方式制作木制品、玻璃制品和铁制品。(你可以)去糖果店品尝和150年前美国南方人制作的一模一样的糖果，也可以去坐一坐在美国东南部唯一一辆依然运行的蒸汽火车。你甚至可以在世界上最大的秃鹰保护区看到美丽的秃鹰。多莉山主题公园为那些喜欢乘骑设施的人提供了最好的老式木制过山车之一——雷暴云砧。它因在最小的空间拥有最大的长度而闻名于世。来多莉山主题公园尽情地了解关于美国东南部的所有历史文化吧！
如果你想体验远古时代和英国的骑士、贵妇、王子和王后的伟大事迹，那么英国的卡默洛特公园是(适合)你的去处。园内所有景区都是按照亚瑟王和圆桌骑士生活的时代复制的。在一个地方，你还能和大魔术师梅林一起观看魔术表演。如果你想观看击剑比赛或马上格斗，那么格斗区是一个很好的参观地。如果你在那表现好的话，亚瑟王可能会选你参加大型的骑马比武。你喜欢动物吗？接下来参观农场区，在这里你可以了解古英格兰人是如何打理他们的农场以及照看他们的动物的。想进入古英格兰的梦幻世界，就来卡默洛特公园吧！

The great auk. The heath hen. The Labrador duck. The Carolina parakeet. You may have never heard of these birds. However, you surely have heard of the passenger pigeon. Like the passenger pigeon, the four other species were also driven into extinction from North America by man. All of the five birds are included in Todd McGrain’s “Lost Bird Project” which will be leaving the Cummer Museum of Art and Gardens in Jacksonville, FL after spending almost a year there.
“‘Lost Bird Project’ is an opportunity to host an exhibit that shows the relationship between art and nature and art and the environment，” Cummer Museum Marketing Manager Amber Sesnick said.
Birds are meant to sing and move. But these birds just stand there. “I hope the exhibit has brought attention to issues around the way that we affect the world around us as humans in our society，” Sesnick said. “I don’t know if one exhibit has had that result, but I think that every time we are able to do something like this, it is one more drop in the bucket(水桶) towards moving forward in the best direction.”
The most famous species in “Lost Bird Project” is the passenger pigeon. The passenger pigeon mainly lived in the east of the Rocky Mountains in the United States, numbering in the billions. In the early 1800’s, it was likely the bird species with the largest population in the world. In 1900, the last confirmed wild pigeon was shot in Ohio. In 1914, the last passenger pigeon, a female named Martha, died in the Cincinnati Zoo.
“All of the species of birds in the exhibition were the ones that I wasn’t even aware of，” Sesnick said. “That was eye-opening for me personally. Having to be confronted with(面对) the idea of species going extinct because of our actions is probably something everyone should be thinking more about. And the exhibition can encourage people to do that.”

Water conservation(保护) means using limited water supply wisely and caring for it properly. Since each of us depends on water to support life, it is our responsibility to learn more about water conservation and how we can help keep our sources pure and safe for generations to come. Below are some of the main reasons why it’s important to conserve water.
It diminishes the effects of drought and water shortages. Even though our need for fresh water is always increasing because of population and industry growth, the supply we have stays the same. Even though water eventually returns to the Earth through the water cycle, it’s not always returned to the same spot, or with the same quantity and quality. By reducing the amount of water we use, we can better protect against future drought years.
It guards against a series of social problems. Failing to conserve water can eventually lead to a lack of water supply, which can have bad results. These include rising costs, reduced food supplies, health dangers, and even political conflict. Many fears have been expressed that water wars will occur in the future as water is becoming scarcer(更稀缺的) and scarcer.
It helps to protect our environment. Reducing our water usage reduces the energy required to process water and deliver it to businesses, farms, and communities, which, in turn, helps to reduce pollution and conserve energy.
It builds safe and beautiful communities. Hospitals, gas stations, health clubs, gyms, and restaurants all require large amounts of water to provide services for communities. Reducing our usage of water means that these services can continue to be provided. Much of our fresh water can also be used for beautifying our surroundings—trees, flowers, vegetable gardens, as well as filling public fountains.
Water conservation requires effort, and every little bit helps. Don’t think that what you do does not matter. We can all make changes in our lifestyles to reduce our water usage. The trick is making water conservation a way of life—not just something we think about once in a while.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇议论文。作者认为我们平时节约用水很重要，他给出了一些理由，以此来鼓励人们节约用水。
7．What does Paragraph 1 mainly show?
A．Conserving water is very difficult.
B．Everyone should learn to conserve water.
C．Many people don’t care about water waste.
D．Water shortage will influence the later generations.
B 解析：推理判断题。根据第一段中的Since each of us depends on water to support life, it is our responsibility to learn more about water conservation...可知我们每个人都应该节约用水。
8．What does the underlined word “diminishes” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A．Proves. B．Reduces.
C．Examines. D．Removes.
B 解析：词义猜测题。根据第二段中的By reducing the amount of water we use, we can better protect against future drought years.可知，这里是指节约用水可以“减轻”干旱的影响。
9．Why does the author mention the services in Paragraph 5?
A．To explain what services need water the most.
B．To show water is widely used in our daily life.
C．To explain why people today love to conserve water.
D．To show conserving water benefits our communities.

In the United States, heart disease remains the top cause of death for women. 1.________ What’s worse, only one in twenty believes heart disease is the leading health problem for women. That’s really terrible.
Recently, the Journal of the American Heart Association published the recent findings. Holly Gooding and Courtney Brown are the authors of the study. They say that more than half of all adult women are aware that heart disease is the biggest health threat they face. 2.________
In the short term, young women have a low risk of heart diseases. 3.________ And there is clear evidence that issues(问题) related to heart disease risk begin in childhood and early adulthood. The authors also argue that young adults usually focus on the present and do not think long-term.
4．________ According to the authors, the most effective way to improve cardiovascular(心血管的) health is dealing with conditions that increase risks before signs of heart disease develop. However, teenagers do not usually discuss cardiovascular diseases with their doctors. So it is difficult to raise awareness of heart health among them.
According to the authors, improving health education in school may be a good solution. 5.________ Not really. A new study suggests that increasing the number of hours they spend doing things like walking and gardening may reduce the risk of getting heart diseases.
A．So what can young women do?
B．So is it too late for older women?
C．But adult women are more likely to face that risk.
D．But only one in ten young women knows the fact.
E．However, the lifetime risk is high, the authors add.
F．However, both young and adult women can get heart diseases.
G．Thus, they are surprised that younger women are not aware of it.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲了年轻女性缺少关于心脏病风险的知识。
1．D 解析：本空设于段中，与前一句存在逻辑上的转折关系。前一句讲心脏病在美国一直是引起女性死亡的主要原因。此空转折，指出尽管这样，只有十分之一的年轻女性知道这个事实。
2．G 解析：本空设于段尾，与前一句存在逻辑上的因果关系。前一句指出，一半多的成年女性知道心脏病是她们面临的最大的健康威胁，所以他们对于年轻女性不知道这一点感到很诧异。
3．E 解析：本空设于段中，是一个过渡句。前一句讲短期而言，年轻女性患心脏病的概率很小，此空表示，那个杂志的作者说，然而，年轻女性在一生中患心脏病的概率却很大。下一句接着说，已经有明显的证据表明和心脏病有关的问题在童年或者刚成年的时候也会出现。
4．A 解析：本空设于段首，是本段的主题句。本段后面的内容都是围绕此句具体展开说明的。
5．B 解析：本空设于段中，与下文存在逻辑上的指代关系。下文中的they指的就是B选项中的older women。

Birds are meant to sing and move. But these birds just stand there. “I hope the exhibit has brought attention to issues around the way that we affect the world around us as humans in our society，” Sesnick said. “I don’t know if one exhibit has had that result, but I think that every time we are able to do something like this, it is one more drop in the bucket(水桶) towards moving forward in the best direction.”
The most famous species in “Lost Bird Project” is the passenger pigeon. The passenger pigeon mainly lived in the east of the Rocky Mountains in the United States, numbering in the billions. In the early 1800’s, it was likely the bird species with the largest population in the world. In 1900, the last confirmed wild pigeon was shot in Ohio. In 1914, the last passenger pigeon, a female named Martha, died in the Cincinnati Zoo.
“All of the species of birds in the exhibition were the ones that I wasn’t even aware of，” Sesnick said. “That was eye-opening for me personally. Having to be confronted with(面对) the idea of species going extinct because of our actions is probably something everyone should be thinking more about. And the exhibition can encourage people to do that.”

Water conservation(保护) means using limited water supply wisely and caring for it properly. Since each of us depends on water to support life, it is our responsibility to learn more about water conservation and how we can help keep our sources pure and safe for generations to come. Below are some of the main reasons why it’s important to conserve water.
It diminishes the effects of drought and water shortages. Even though our need for fresh water is always increasing because of population and industry growth, the supply we have stays the same. Even though water eventually returns to the Earth through the water cycle, it’s not always returned to the same spot, or with the same quantity and quality. By reducing the amount of water we use, we can better protect against future drought years.
It guards against a series of social problems. Failing to conserve water can eventually lead to a lack of water supply, which can have bad results. These include rising costs, reduced food supplies, health dangers, and even political conflict. Many fears have been expressed that water wars will occur in the future as water is becoming scarcer(更稀缺的) and scarcer.
It helps to protect our environment. Reducing our water usage reduces the energy required to process water and deliver it to businesses, farms, and communities, which, in turn, helps to reduce pollution and conserve energy.
It builds safe and beautiful communities. Hospitals, gas stations, health clubs, gyms, and restaurants all require large amounts of water to provide services for communities. Reducing our usage of water means that these services can continue to be provided. Much of our fresh water can also be used for beautifying our surroundings—trees, flowers, vegetable gardens, as well as filling public fountains.
Water conservation requires effort, and every little bit helps. Don’t think that what you do does not matter. We can all make changes in our lifestyles to reduce our water usage. The trick is making water conservation a way of life—not just something we think about once in a while.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇议论文。作者认为我们平时节约用水很重要，他给出了一些理由，以此来鼓励人们节约用水。
7．What does Paragraph 1 mainly show?
A．Conserving water is very difficult.
B．Everyone should learn to conserve water.

D．Water shortage will influence the later generations.
B 解析：推理判断题。根据第一段中的Since each of us depends on water to support life, it is our responsibility to learn more about water conservation...可知我们每个人都应该节约用水。
8．What does the underlined word “diminishes” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A．Proves. B．Reduces.
C．Examines. D．Removes.
B 解析：词义猜测题。根据第二段中的By reducing the amount of water we use, we can better protect against future drought years.可知，这里是指节约用水可以“减轻”干旱的影响。
9．Why does the author mention the services in Paragraph 5?
A．To explain what services need water the most.
B．To show water is widely used in our daily life.
C．To explain why people today love to conserve water.
D．To show conserving water benefits our communities.

B．How Can We Make Our World a Better Place?
C．Why Should We Conserve Water in Our Daily Life?

C 解析：标题归纳题。根据文章内容，特别是第一段末尾的文章主旨句Below are some of the main reasons why it’s important to conserve water.可知，文章主要阐释我们平时为什么要节约用水，由此可知答案。

In the United States, heart disease remains the top cause of death for women. 1.________ What’s worse, only one in twenty believes heart disease is the leading health problem for women. That’s really terrible.
Recently, the Journal of the American Heart Association published the recent findings. Holly Gooding and Courtney Brown are the authors of the study. They say that more than half of all adult women are aware that heart disease is the biggest health threat they face. 2.________
In the short term, young women have a low risk of heart diseases. 3.________ And there is clear evidence that issues(问题) related to heart disease risk begin in childhood and early adulthood. The authors also argue that young adults usually focus on the present and do not think long-term.
4．________ According to the authors, the most effective way to improve cardiovascular(心血管的) health is dealing with conditions that increase risks before signs of heart disease develop. However, teenagers do not usually discuss cardiovascular diseases with their doctors. So it is difficult to raise awareness of heart health among them.
According to the authors, improving health education in school may be a good solution. 5.________ Not really. A new study suggests that increasing the number of hours they spend doing things like walking and gardening may reduce the risk of getting heart diseases.
A．So what can young women do?
B．So is it too late for older women?
C．But adult women are more likely to face that risk.
D．But only one in ten young women knows the fact.
E．However, the lifetime risk is high, the authors add.
F．However, both young and adult women can get heart diseases.
G．Thus, they are surprised that younger women are not aware of it.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲了年轻女性缺少关于心脏病风险的知识。
1．D 解析：本空设于段中，与前一句存在逻辑上的转折关系。前一句讲心脏病在美国一直是引起女性死亡的主要原因。此空转折，指出尽管这样，只有十分之一的年轻女性知道这个事实。
2．G 解析：本空设于段尾，与前一句存在逻辑上的因果关系。前一句指出，一半多的成年女性知道心脏病是她们面临的最大的健康威胁，所以他们对于年轻女性不知道这一点感到很诧异。
3．E 解析：本空设于段中，是一个过渡句。前一句讲短期而言，年轻女性患心脏病的概率很小，此空表示，那个杂志的作者说，然而，年轻女性在一生中患心脏病的概率却很大。下一句接着说，已经有明显的证据表明和心脏病有关的问题在童年或者刚成年的时候也会出现。
4．A 解析：本空设于段首，是本段的主题句。本段后面的内容都是围绕此句具体展开说明的。
5．B 解析：本空设于段中，与下文存在逻辑上的指代关系。下文中的they指的就是B选项中的older women。

阅读理解
On a recent trip to London, I decided to visit some exciting new restaurants that are using technology to change the way people dine out. My first stop was at an Italian restaurant in the city center. When I walked into the restaurant, I was given a tray(托盘) and a special card, but I had no idea what to do next! The manager came up to me and explained that I could swipe(刷) my card at any of the food and drink stations in the restaurant, and that the card would record my order. No waiters necessary! I made my selection and then handed my card to the cashier. Once I’d paid for my meal, I collected it and made my way to the dining area on the second floor. The food was very delicious, but, I must admit, I didn’t enjoy having to carry my food up two flights of stairs!
On the next night, a friend of mine suggested that we visit his favorite high-tech restaurant. When we arrived, I was surprised to discover that there were no paper menus; instead, the menus appeared on the touch screen surface of the table. All we had to do was touch our choices with our fingers and wait for the waiters to bring us our meal. The touch screen tabletop also allowed us to change different tablecloths and even play games! We had so much fun playing games that we hardly touched our food when it arrived—we really should have told the waiter to give us takeaways instead!
On my last day in London, I decided to get some tapas from a Spanish takeaway near my hotel. I had heard that the owners had placed a webcam(网络摄像机) at the restaurant to allow their customers to watch the long lunchtime queue(队列) online. This came in very handy for me. While I packed my baggage, I kept an eye on the queue and then raced to the restaurant when the lunchtime rush was over. Without that wonderful webcam, I could have missed my plane!
【解题导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。作者在伦敦旅游时光顾了几家高科技餐厅，它们给他留下了深刻印象。
1．What’s so special about the first restaurant?
A．It has no dining-table.
B．It offers a takeaway service.
C．It is a self-service restaurant.
D．It serves inexpensive local food.

2．What part of the second restaurant made a deep impression on the author?
A．Its delicious food.
B．Its high-tech tables.
C．Its game machines.
D．Its colourful tablecloths.
B 解析：细节理解题。由第二段中的the menus appeared on the touch screen surface of the table和The touch screen tabletop...play games！可知，第二家餐厅的餐桌不仅能显示菜单、点餐，还能变换不同桌布以及让顾客玩游戏，因此作者对该餐厅高科技的餐桌印象深刻。
3．What does the underlined word “handy” in the last paragraph mean?
A．Easy. B．Useful.
C．Special. D．Surprising.
B 解析：词义猜测题。画线词所在句中的This指代上一句中的a webcam(网络摄像机)．..watch the long lunchtime queue(队列) online，再由画线词后的I kept an eye...the lunchtime rush was over可知，通过观看餐厅点餐排队情况，作者可以合理安排时间，免除点餐时排长队。因此这家餐厅显示顾客点餐排队情况的摄像机对作者来说很有用。
4．How does the author mainly develop this text?
A．By giving instructions.
B．By making comparisons.
C．By following the order of time.
D．By following the order of importance.
C 解析：写作手法题。本文描述了作者在伦敦旅游时光顾了几家高科技餐厅的经历。由文中的My first stop, On the next night, On my last day in London可知，作者按照时间顺序写作本文。

阅读理解
On a recent trip to London, I decided to visit some exciting new restaurants that are using technology to change the way people dine out. My first stop was at an Italian restaurant in the city center. When I walked into the restaurant, I was given a tray(托盘) and a special card, but I had no idea what to do next! The manager came up to me and explained that I could swipe(刷) my card at any of the food and drink stations in the restaurant, and that the card would record my order. No waiters necessary! I made my selection and then handed my card to the cashier. Once I’d paid for my meal, I collected it and made my way to the dining area on the second floor. The food was very delicious, but, I must admit, I didn’t enjoy having to carry my food up two flights of stairs!
On the next night, a friend of mine suggested that we visit his favorite high-tech restaurant. When we arrived, I was surprised to discover that there were no paper menus; instead, the menus appeared on the touch screen surface of the table. All we had to do was touch our choices with our fingers and wait for the waiters to bring us our meal. The touch screen tabletop also allowed us to change different tablecloths and even play games! We had so much fun playing games that we hardly touched our food when it arrived—we really should have told the waiter to give us takeaways instead!
On my last day in London, I decided to get some tapas from a Spanish takeaway near my hotel. I had heard that the owners had placed a webcam(网络摄像机) at the restaurant to allow their customers to watch the long lunchtime queue(队列) online. This came in very handy for me. While I packed my baggage, I kept an eye on the queue and then raced to the restaurant when the lunchtime rush was over. Without that wonderful webcam, I could have missed my plane!
【解题导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。作者在伦敦旅游时光顾了几家高科技餐厅，它们给他留下了深刻印象。
1．What’s so special about the first restaurant?
A．It has no dining-table.
B．It offers a takeaway service.
C．It is a self-service restaurant.
D．It serves inexpensive local food.
C 解析：细节理解题。由第一段中的No waiters necessary！可知，作者在伦敦光顾的第一家餐厅没有服务员，点餐、取餐都是自助式的。
2．What part of the second restaurant made a deep impression on the author?
A．Its delicious food.
B．Its high-tech tables.
C．Its game machines.
D．Its colourful tablecloths.
B 解析：细节理解题。由第二段中的the menus appeared on the touch screen surface of the table和The touch screen tabletop...play games！可知，第二家餐厅的餐桌不仅能显示菜单、点餐，还能变换不同桌布以及让顾客玩游戏，因此作者对该餐厅高科技的餐桌印象深刻。
3．What does the underlined word “handy” in the last paragraph mean?
A．Easy. B．Useful.
C．Special. D．Surprising.
B 解析：词义猜测题。画线词所在句中的This指代上一句中的a webcam(网络摄像机)．..watch the long lunchtime queue(队列) online，再由画线词后的I kept an eye...the lunchtime rush was over可知，通过观看餐厅点餐排队情况，作者可以合理安排时间，免除点餐时排长队。因此这家餐厅显示顾客点餐排队情况的摄像机对作者来说很有用。
4．How does the author mainly develop this text?
A．By giving instructions.
B．By making comparisons.
C．By following the order of time.
D．By following the order of importance.
C 解析：写作手法题。本文描述了作者在伦敦旅游时光顾了几家高科技餐厅的经历。由文中的My first stop, On the next night, On my last day in London可知，作者按照时间顺序写作本文。

观测未来主题公园(Futuroscope)是位于法国普瓦捷近郊10公里处的一座以高科技影视媒体技术为基础的展现未来主义建筑风格的主题公园。该公园于1987年开放，是世界上最大的科幻主题公园之一。公园中有许多学习中心，参观者可以尝试做自己的科学实验，与此同时也能学到更多关于太空旅行、海底世界等的知识。
FUTUROSCOPE—EXCITEMENT AND LEARNING
Last week I took a journey deep into space, to the end of the solar① system, and was pulled into a black hole. Then I took a trip to Brazil and experienced surviving an airplane crash in the jungle②. After that, I joined some divers③ and went to the bottom of the ocean to see strange blind creatures④ that have never seen sunlight⑤. For a break, I took part in some car racing and then skied down some of the most difficult mountains in the world. I ended my travels by meeting face to face⑥ with a dinosaur, the terrible T-Rex, and survived⑦ the experience!
◆that have never seen sunlight是that引导的定语从句，修饰先行词creatures, that可换成which。
I did all this in one great day at Futuroscope.Opened in 1987, Futuroscope is one of the largest space-age⑧ parks in the world. This science and technology-based⑨ theme park in France uses the most advanced⑩ technology. Its 3-D cinemas and giant? movie screens provide brand? new experiences of the earth and beyond.Visitors can get close to? parts of the world they have never experienced, going to the bottom of the ocean, flying through the jungle or visiting the edges? of the solar system. The amazing, up-to-date? information together with many opportunities for hands-on? learning makes the world come to life? in a completely new way for visitors. Learning centres throughout the park let visitors try their own scientific experiments, as well as learn more about space travel, the undersea world and much more.
◆此处为过去分词短语作状语。
◆本句为主从复合句。they have never experienced为省略了关系词that/which的定语从句，going to the bottom of the ocean, flying...or visiting...system是并列的现在分词短语，在句中作状语。
I bought tickets for myself and my friends at the park’s entrance, but tickets are also available online. Futuroscope is not only for individuals, but is also the perfect mix of fun and learning for class outings?. Classes or other large groups that let Futuroscope know their plans in advance can get the group admission?rate. For anyone coming from out of town, Futuroscope has many excellent hotels nearby, most of which provide a shuttle? service to the park. If driving, Futuroscope is within easy reach of the freeway. Plan your trip well before starting, since Futuroscope has so many shows, activities and great souvenir shops that it is difficult to see them all. Come ready to walk a lot—be sure to wear some comfortable sneakers or other walking shoes!
◆现在分词短语coming from out of town作后置定语，修饰anyone。
◆most of which是“不定代词＋of＋关系代词”结构，在此引导非限制性定语从句。
◆If driving为状语从句的省略形式，其完整形式为If you are driving。此处状语从句的主语与主句的主语不一致，属于状语从句的省略的一种特殊情况。

“观测未来”——兴奋与求知
上周我进行了一次深入太空的旅行，(我)来到了太阳系的尽头，被拖进了一个黑洞里。然后我到巴西旅游，并感受了坠机后在丛林中逃生的滋味。随后，我跟着一些潜水员潜入海底观看奇怪的、从未见过阳光的盲的生物。休息时，我参加了某个赛车比赛，然后在世界上最难(滑雪)的一些山上滑雪。最后，我与一只恐龙——可怕的霸王龙狭路相逢，死里逃生后，我的旅行结束！
在观测未来主题公园里，我一天之内就做完了所有这些事情。观测未来主题公园于1987年开放，是世界上最大的太空时代主题公园之一。这个以科技为基础的法国主题公园使用了最先进的技术。它的立体电影以及那巨大的电影屏幕能(为人们)提供在地球上以及超越了地球的全新体验。参观者可以接近世界上他们从来没有体验过的地方，(比如)潜入海底，飞越丛林或者参观太阳系的边缘地带。这些让人惊讶的最新的信息加上大量动手实践学习的机会，让世界以一种全新的方式展现在游人面前。遍布公园的学习中心可以让参观者尝试做自己的科学试验，与此同时学到更多关于太空旅行、海底世界和其他方面的知识。
我是在公园的入口处给自己和朋友买的票，当然也可以在网上购票。观测未来主题公园不仅仅适合个人，也适合学生全班出游，因为它是娱乐与学习的完美结合。班级或者其他大的团体如果提前让观测未来主题公园知道他们的计划，还可以拿到团体入场价格。对那些从城外来的游客来说，观测未来主题公园附近有很多很好的旅馆，它们中的大多数都提供往返公园的车辆服务。假如(你)开车的话，观测未来主题公园就在高速公路附近。在出发之前好好计划一下你的旅行，因为观测未来主题公园里面有太多的表演、活动和很棒的纪念品商店，以至于要看完是很难的。来这里要准备好走很多的路——一定要穿上舒适的运动鞋或者其他走路穿的鞋！

There is no clear relationship between clowns and fast food. Yet everyone blindly accepts Ronald McDonald, one of the most famous clowns in the world, as the mascot(吉祥物) of McDonald’s. This is partly because Ronald has held the role for over 50 years. I’d say some people hardly consider him as a clown, considering the behaviour that clowns are generally known for.
But what inspired McDonald’s to make a clown the face of their fast food company? Funnily enough，it was another clown: Bozo.
Bozo the Clown was the star of several television shows during the 1950s to 1970s. At that time, advertising manager Barry Klein worked with The Bozo Show in Washington, D．C. and he had a local McDonald’s franchise(经销权), so he talked McDonald’s into running ads during the show, the Baltimore Sun reported.
Unfortunately, the show was stopped in 1963, but Klein saw a chance to make use of Bozo’s popularity. Klein brought the actor who had played Bozo, Willard Scott, onto the project, and soon the clown came to life. His nose was a McDonald’s cup and his hat was a food tray(托盘). He was Ronald McDonald, the Hamburger-Happy Clown. Then, McDonald’s managers employed Michael Polakovs, a famous clown, to give the character an improvement. The result was the look we all know today.
According to Eric Schlosser, the author of Fast Food Nation, the only fictional(虚构的) character more famous than Ronald McDonald is Santa Claus. But in the eyes of McDonald’s, Ronald has the same level of childhood wonder—the jolly old elf(圣诞老人)．
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了McDonald’s 小丑吉祥物的来历。
1．According to the author, why would people hardly consider Ronald McDonald as a clown?
A．He doesn’t look like a clown.
B．He is the mascot of McDonald’s.
C．He has just begun to hold the role.
D．He doesn’t perform traditional tricks.
D 解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中的I’d say some people hardly consider him as a clown, considering the behaviour that clowns are generally known for.可知，作者认为人们很少把Ronald McDonald视为小丑，是因为他不表演小丑的传统把戏。
2．What did Barry Klein persuade McDonald’s to do during the 1950s to 1970s?
A．To invite Bozo to the company.
B．To post ads on the Baltimore Sun.
C．To run ads during a television show.
D．To give him a local McDonald’s franchise.
C 解析：细节理解题。根据第三段中的．..so he talked McDonald’s into running ads during the show...可知，在二十世纪五十年代到七十年代，Barry Klein建议McDonald’s在一个有名的电视节目中投放广告。
3．What might be the best title for the text?
A．The Development of McDonald’s
B．Why Does McDonald’s Develop So Fast?
C．The Background of McDonald’s Mascot
D．How Did McDonald’s Choose its Mascot?
C 解析：标题归纳题。根据全文的内容可知，本文主要讲述了McDonald’s小丑吉祥物的来历。

For a traveler, it can be challenging to find ways to respect the environment while still having an enjoyable vacation. Travelling by train is a good way for both travelers and the environment. Moreover, rail operators worldwide have the growing concern about environmental sustainability(可持续发展) of their trains.
Amtrak, the American national rail operator, has made a great contribution to environmental sustainability over the past ten years. Amtrak has greatly reduced its fuel consumption(消耗) by using new forms of green technology and energy-saving practices. These practices include the use of lighter train cars and clean fuel. According to Climate Counts, an organization that grades companies according to their environmental practices, Amtrak is a pioneering company. This means that they have always improved their environmental record.
Thanks to the prevalence of railways throughout the continent, European trains are highly sustainable. Trains are the primary form of international travel in Europe. Many of the European lines are slower regional trains that have frequent stops. Though high-speed railways are certainly faster, they need far more fuel. Therefore, we can say that many of the things that make railways popular also make them environmentally-friendly.
Europe isn’t the only region having an environmentally-friendly rail system. Shinkansen, also called the bullet train, is a network of high-speed railway lines in Japan operated by five Japan Railways Group companies. The original Tōkaidō Shinkansen, connecting the largest cities of Tokyo and Osaka, is the world’s busiest high-speed railway line. It has transported more passengers than any other high-speed line in the world. Shinkansen has recently both increased its speed and cut back its energy consumption by 40%. By reducing the trains’ weight and redesigning their shape and length, the trains are now far more efficient(高效的)．
【解题导语】 火车旅行既环保又休闲，本文介绍了美国、欧洲以及日本铁路在节能环保方面做出的努力。
4．What does the author want to show in Paragraph 1?
A．Trains are a good form of green transportation.
B．Trains are popular among young people today.
C．Trains are changing worldwide in the modern society.
D．Trains are the most popular way to travel between cities.
A 解析：目的意图题。根据第一段中的Travelling by train is a good way for both travelers and the environment.可知，作者想告诉读者火车旅行是一种环保的交通方式。
5．What does the underlined word “prevalence” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean?
A．Importance. B．Popularity.
C．Advertisement. D．Appearance.
B 解析：词义猜测题。根据第三段中的Trains are the primary form of international travel in Europe.以及Therefore, we can say that many of the things that make railways popular also make them environmentally-friendly.可知，火车在欧洲大陆非常“流行”。
6．What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A．Europe has more high-speed railways than Asia.
B．Japan’s high-speed railways are the best in Asia.
C．Shinkansen trains have become the most efficient trains in the world.
D．Japan also makes an effort to improve their trains’ environmental sustainability.
D 解析：推理判断题。根据第四段中的Shinkansen has recently both increased its speed and cut back its energy consumption by 40%. By reducing the trains’ weight and redesigning their shape and length, the trains are now far more efficient(高效的)．可知，日本铁路在节能环保方面也做出了努力。

Test-taking Tips
Passing tests is a huge part of succeeding at school. Clearly, if you want to do well on a test, you need to prepare by learning the material(资料). 1.________
Just breathe.
Even the best prepared student sometimes gets nervous before a test. Nervous feelings can cause people to forget facts that they know. 2.________ Breathing deeply is helpful for this. So is moving your body slightly, such as by rolling your shoulders around. Try to arrive for a test a few minutes early, so you can relax before it starts.
3．________
When you are handed a test, look over all the questions before you begin. Read them carefully, noticing details. Also pay attention to how many points each question is worth. Divide your time based on the percentage of your grade each question is worth.
First answer questions you know and then go back to the difficult ones. 4.________ But try to write an answer for every question on the test, even if you’re not sure of the answer. The only exception(例外) is if you will lose points for wrong answers.
5．________ If you’re not sure whether you should change an answer, it’s best not to. More often than not, your first instinct(本能) will be correct.
Try your best.
Above all, study well and try your best. If you do that, you can be proud of whatever score you get.
A．Pay attention to the time.
B．Read the test through first.
C．So one important test-taking tip is to try to relax.
D．But other actions can help make test-taking easier.

【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了几个应考诀窍。
1．D 解析：该空前的prepare by learning the material(资料)与下文提到的考试前呼吸放松、注意答题时间分配都是D项中所提make test-taking easier的办法。
2．C 解析：由本段小标题Just breathe.和该空前的Nervous feelings可知，该空后的Breathing deeply和moving your body slightly以及arrive for a test a few minutes early都是对C项中的try to relax的举例说明。

4．E 解析：E项中的That way指该空前的First answer questions you know and then go back to the difficult ones.这样做可以让你不必在一道题上花费太多的时间。
5．G 解析：G项中的review your answers and correct mistakes与该空后的change an answer相呼应。

Bozo the Clown was the star of several television shows during the 1950s to 1970s. At that time, advertising manager Barry Klein worked with The Bozo Show in Washington, D．C. and he had a local McDonald’s franchise(经销权), so he talked McDonald’s into running ads during the show, the Baltimore Sun reported.
Unfortunately, the show was stopped in 1963, but Klein saw a chance to make use of Bozo’s popularity. Klein brought the actor who had played Bozo, Willard Scott, onto the project, and soon the clown came to life. His nose was a McDonald’s cup and his hat was a food tray(托盘). He was Ronald McDonald, the Hamburger-Happy Clown. Then, McDonald’s managers employed Michael Polakovs, a famous clown, to give the character an improvement. The result was the look we all know today.
According to Eric Schlosser, the author of Fast Food Nation, the only fictional(虚构的) character more famous than Ronald McDonald is Santa Claus. But in the eyes of McDonald’s, Ronald has the same level of childhood wonder—the jolly old elf(圣诞老人)．

For a traveler, it can be challenging to find ways to respect the environment while still having an enjoyable vacation. Travelling by train is a good way for both travelers and the environment. Moreover, rail operators worldwide have the growing concern about environmental sustainability(可持续发展) of their trains.
Amtrak, the American national rail operator, has made a great contribution to environmental sustainability over the past ten years. Amtrak has greatly reduced its fuel consumption(消耗) by using new forms of green technology and energy-saving practices. These practices include the use of lighter train cars and clean fuel. According to Climate Counts, an organization that grades companies according to their environmental practices, Amtrak is a pioneering company. This means that they have always improved their environmental record.
Thanks to the prevalence of railways throughout the continent, European trains are highly sustainable. Trains are the primary form of international travel in Europe. Many of the European lines are slower regional trains that have frequent stops. Though high-speed railways are certainly faster, they need far more fuel. Therefore, we can say that many of the things that make railways popular also make them environmentally-friendly.
Europe isn’t the only region having an environmentally-friendly rail system. Shinkansen, also called the bullet train, is a network of high-speed railway lines in Japan operated by five Japan Railways Group companies. The original Tōkaidō Shinkansen, connecting the largest cities of Tokyo and Osaka, is the world’s busiest high-speed railway line. It has transported more passengers than any other high-speed line in the world. Shinkansen has recently both increased its speed and cut back its energy consumption by 40%. By reducing the trains’ weight and redesigning their shape and length, the trains are now far more efficient(高效的)．

5．________ If you’re not sure whether you should change an answer, it’s best not to. More often than not, your first instinct(本能) will be correct.

阅读理解
I sometimes find that watching a film adaptation(改编作品) of a book helps me to understand the story of a book. This is especially true for books from a different period or with a difficult dialect. My favourite example of these is Pride and Prejudice, which is also my favourite book.
Film and TV adaptations of books also mean that books reach a wider audience, prompting(促使) people to read the book if they really liked the film. In terms of language learning, watching film or TV adaptations of books can help to provide an understanding of a story that may have otherwise(否则) been difficult to understand. They also help to give a story a more modern twist(转折), for example Oliver Twist as an adaptation of Charles Dickens’ Oliver Twist. The language in the book can be enough to reduce a native speaker to tears, but the adaptation allows everyone to enjoy the story of the child Oliver. Similarly, the 1996 film Romeo and Juliet, an adaptation of the Shakespeare play of the same name, enables those of us who haven’t studied Shakespeare to still enjoy his play.
Of course, there are limitations and not every story that is translated onto the screen is liked by the many fans of the book, or even the author. For example, the author of the book Mary Poppins, P．L.Travers, hated Disney’s adaptation, but it is now a well-loved work. One of my least favourite adaptations is that of Still Alice by Lisa Genova. They changed the location from Boston to New York for no real reason, which for some readers changes the whole feel of the book.
In my opinion, adaptations are a great way to introduce people to the story and characters of a book before reading it. They’re also a good way for people who may not feel confident enough to read a whole novel in a different language, but still want to enjoy a specific story.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇议论文。人们对改编自文学作品的影视作品爱憎不同，作者就此发表了看法。
1．The film adaptation of Pride and Prejudice helps the author ________．
A．develop an interest in the book

2．How does the author mainly support his ideas?
A．By listing facts.
B．By giving examples.
C．By making comparisons.
D．By offering explanations.
B 解析：写作手法题。前三段中，作者在每一段开头直接表明观点，紧接着通过举例来支持自己的观点。

C 解析：由上文中的you should pay them以及本句中的but和you must find other ways可知，当然，大多数帮忙给子女照看孩子的父母都“不会要(refuse)”工资。但是，不要因为这样就“不(stop)”表达你对他们的“感激之情(appreciation)”，你应该换用其他的方式。
3．A.stop B．hurt
C．surprise D．judge

11．A.quicker B．stranger
C．harder D．later
C 解析：由上文中的We help her in other ways, mainly gardening.以及本句中的she gets older可知，母亲年龄越来越大，对她来说，园艺工作也变得“更吃力(harder)”。
12．A.hobby B．dream
C．gift D．choice

阅读理解
I sometimes find that watching a film adaptation(改编作品) of a book helps me to understand the story of a book. This is especially true for books from a different period or with a difficult dialect. My favourite example of these is Pride and Prejudice, which is also my favourite book.
Film and TV adaptations of books also mean that books reach a wider audience, prompting(促使) people to read the book if they really liked the film. In terms of language learning, watching film or TV adaptations of books can help to provide an understanding of a story that may have otherwise(否则) been difficult to understand. They also help to give a story a more modern twist(转折), for example Oliver Twist as an adaptation of Charles Dickens’ Oliver Twist. The language in the book can be enough to reduce a native speaker to tears, but the adaptation allows everyone to enjoy the story of the child Oliver. Similarly, the 1996 film Romeo and Juliet, an adaptation of the Shakespeare play of the same name, enables those of us who haven’t studied Shakespeare to still enjoy his play.
Of course, there are limitations and not every story that is translated onto the screen is liked by the many fans of the book, or even the author. For example, the author of the book Mary Poppins, P．L.Travers, hated Disney’s adaptation, but it is now a well-loved work. One of my least favourite adaptations is that of Still Alice by Lisa Genova. They changed the location from Boston to New York for no real reason, which for some readers changes the whole feel of the book.
In my opinion, adaptations are a great way to introduce people to the story and characters of a book before reading it. They’re also a good way for people who may not feel confident enough to read a whole novel in a different language, but still want to enjoy a specific story.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇议论文。人们对改编自文学作品的影视作品爱憎不同，作者就此发表了看法。
1．The film adaptation of Pride and Prejudice helps the author ________．
A．develop an interest in the book
B．understand the story of the book
C．learn history of a different period
D．understand the dialect in the book
B 解析：细节理解题。由第一段中的I sometimes find that watching a film adaptation(改编作品) of a book helps me to understand the story of a book.可知，作者有时觉得观看改编自书的电影有助于他理解书的故事情节。接下来作者举Pride and Prejudice这个例子说明了自己的观点。
2．How does the author mainly support his ideas?
A．By listing facts.
B．By giving examples.
C．By making comparisons.
D．By offering explanations.
B 解析：写作手法题。前三段中，作者在每一段开头直接表明观点，紧接着通过举例来支持自己的观点。
3．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A．The film Still Alice.
B．The book Still Alice.
C．The film Mary Poppins.
D．The book Mary Poppins.
C 解析：代词指代题。画线词所在句句意：例如，Mary Poppins一书的作者P.L.Travers曾经讨厌改编自该书的迪斯尼电影，但现在它(该电影)很受人们喜爱。
4．What is the author’s attitude towards books being translated onto the screen?
A．He pays little attention to it.

Young poets, we have heard you. We discontinued KidsPost’s yearly poetry contest(竞赛) four years ago, and yet you continue to send us your poems just in case we change our minds.
The truth is, we have missed your poems. So we have changed our minds. Sort of. The idea of the original contest was to celebrate National Poetry Month, which is April. But this year’s contest will also celebrate another April tradition: Squirrel Week(松鼠周). It’s a tradition started nine years ago by John Kelly, the original editor(编辑) of KidsPost.
So KidsPost and Kelly are joining forces this year for a Squirrel Haiku Contest. That means your poems must take the form of a haiku—three lines in a five-seven-five pattern(模式). And they must be connected in some way to squirrels.
A few more rules：
·The contest is open to kids ages 5 to 14 who live in the United States. Each child may send only one poem(self-created)．
·A love of squirrels is not required. Entries will be judged on creativity and form.
·Each haiku should have a title.
·You need to have an adult send us your entry. A note from the adult giving permission for you to enter the contest is also required.
·Entries can be emailed to kidspost@washpost.com or sent to KidsPost Squirrel Haiku Contest, The Washington Post 1301 K Street NW, Washington, D．C.20071.
The deadline for us to receive entries is April 1.
If your poem wins and gets published(出版), you will receive a prize package that includes a KidsPost T-shirt and a pencil, a squirrel toy or game and carefully chosen poetry books.
If you have any questions about the haiku contest, email them to kidspost@washpost.com.

I was born and raised in Minnesota, the USA, but as an adult I have mostly lived in Europe and Africa. I teach crosscultural management at the International Business School near Paris. For the last 15 years, I’ve studied how people in different parts of the world build trust, communicate, and make decisions especially in the workplace.
While traveling in Tokyo recently with a Japanese colleague, I gave a short talk to a group of 20 managers. At the end, I asked whether there were any questions or comments. No hands went up, so I went to sit down. My colleague whispered to me，“I think there actually were some comments, Erin. Do you mind if I try？”I agreed, but I guessed it a waste of breath. He asked the group again，“Any comments or questions？”
Still, no one raised a hand, but this time he looked very carefully at each person in the silent audience. Gesturing to one of them, he said，“Do you have something to add？”To my amazement, she responded “Yes, thank you.” and asked me a very interesting question. My colleague repeated this several times, looking directly at the audience and asking for more questions or comments.
After the session, I asked my colleague，“How did you know that those people had questions？”He hesitated, not sure how to explain it, and then said, “It has to do with how bright their eyes are.”
He continued，“In Japan, we don’t make as much direct eye contact as you do in the West. So when you asked if there were any comments, most people were not looking directly at you. But a few people in the group were looking right at you, and their eyes were bright. That indicates that they would be happy to have you call on them.”
I thought to myself I would ever have learned from my upbringing in Minnesota. Since then, I try to focus on understanding behavior in other cultures I encounter, and keep finding the bright eyes in the room.

Many people believe that language belongs to human beings. However, cats have developed a language not for each other, but for the human beings who have them as pets.
When communicating with each other, cats “talk” with a system of signals. Their tails, rather than any kind of“speech”， act as an important way to express themselves. They also touch each other to express their feelings. With other cats, they will use their voice only to express pain. Unbelievable, all of that changes when a human walks into the room. Cats use many different kinds of vocal(声音的) expressions when they communicate with a person. Since these vocal expressions are not used to communicate with other cats, it seems that cats developed this “language” to communicate with their human owners.
This fact is shown more clearly when watching rooms that have only one cat and those with several cats. And only cat is usually very vocal, since the only creature(动物) around with whom the cat can communicate with is its owner. Cats with other cats, though, are much quieter. If they want to have a conversation, they only need go to other cats and communicate in their natural way.
Since cats learned to meow(喵喵叫) for the only purpose of communicating with human owners should take the time to learn what their different meows mean. If an owner knows, to name just a few examples, which meow means the cat is hungry, which means the cat wants to be petted, and which means the cat wants to have a little“conversation”， the relationship between cats and owners will be closer.
【解题导语】 许多人认为语言属于人类。然而，猫已经开发出一种不是彼此相通的语言，而是为有宠物的人类开发的语言。本文以此展开，主要讲述了猫的语言。
28．If a cat among other cats finds part of its body hurts, it may express its pain with its ________．
A．tail B．eyes
C．voice D．head
C 解析：细节理解题。根据“With other cats, they will use their voice only to express pain.”可知，如果当与其他猫待在一起时，猫发现身体的一部分受伤，它可能会用它的声音表达它的痛苦。所以C选项是正确的。
29．When a human enters a room full of cats, they ________．
A．begin to use vocal expressions
B．use their tails to show love
C．stop making any noise
D．stop communicating with each other
A 解析：细节理解题。根据“Unbelievable, all of that changes when a human walks into the room. Cats use many different kinds of vocal(声音的) expressions when they communicate with a person.”可知，当一个人进入一个满是猫的房间时，它们开始使用声音表达。所以A选项是正确的。
30．What are cat owners advised to do?
A．Encourage cats to talk with each other.
B．Communicate more with cats.
C．Learn to meow in different ways.
D．Teach cats to understand human language.
B 解析：细节理解题。根据“Since cats learned to meow(喵喵叫) for the only purpose of communicating with human owners should take the time to learn what their different meows mean.”可知，猫主人应该与猫进行更多的沟通。所以B选项是正确的。
31．What is the text mainly about?
A．Communication among cats.
B．Pets’ different expressions.
C．Advice on keeping pets.
D．The language of cats.
D 解析：主旨大意题。阅读全文，根据文章内容可知，许多人认为语言属于人类。然而，猫已经开发出一种不是彼此相通的语言，而是为有宠物的人类开发的语言。本文以此展开，主要讲述了猫的语言，所以D选项是正确的。

Are you always feeling homesick after work? Or do you usually stand alone in a crowd? Everyone now and then experiences loneliness. According to recent research, loneliness can actually cause very real harm.
Like elephants and honeybees, we are social animals, explains John Cacioppo. He is a scientist who studies human behavior at the University of Chicago. “Social animals survive and live well only in groups. Loneliness reminds us that people didn’t develop to live alone，” Cacioppo says.
Studies of modern hunter-gatherers, such as the ！Kung San, show what life may have been like for prehistoric(史前的) humans. The ！Kung San live in southern Africa. Their communities are very close-knit(亲密无间的). They share all food. The ！Kung San mothers always keep their babies in close contact. Such a close-knit community would have saved prehistoric humans from harm. It protected them just as it protects the ！Kung San today from the bad environment of the Kalahari Desert.
However, few of us live as hunter-gatherers today. Advances in science and technology have transformed human cultures over the centuries, Cacioppo says. Most of us no longer need to stay together to survive the dangerous conditions. Sadly, loneliness can become a serious risk to mental and physical health when it lasts a long time. So it’s natural for people to share thoughts and feelings with their friends. We all want others to accept us for who we are. However, one in four adults taking part in a US survey reported having no one to tell a secret to. The percentage is so high that it makes the researchers very worried. Actually, it’s said that these people are more likely to suffer long-term loneliness, and it is a common experience for those who feel like they’re social outsiders. This group tends to include people who are old, poor, or facing discrimination(歧视)．
People who had strong ties with family, friends and colleagues were more likely to live longer than those with few social connections, the research published in the journal PLOS Medicine showed.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇议论文。人是社会性的动物，如果长期处于孤独状态的话我们的健康会受到影响。
32．What can we infer from Cacioppo’s words in Paragraph 2?
A．Social life is important to humans.
B．Animals can also experience loneliness.
C．People can hardly feel lonely in groups.
D．Humans and animals have a lot in common.
A 解析：推理判断题。根据第二段中的Like elephants and honeybees, we are social animals和Social animals survive and live well only in groups. Loneliness reminds us that people didn’t develop to live alone可推知，社交生活对人类而言很重要。
33．What does the underlined word “transformed” mean in Paragraph 4?
A．Changed. B．Explained.
C．Created. D．Improved.
A 解析：词义猜测题。根据第四段的However, few of us live as hunter-gatherers today.及Most of us no longer need to stay together to survive the dangerous conditions.可知，这里是指科学技术的进步“改变”了我们的文化。
34．According to the US survey, what is a problem of today’s society?
A．About one-fourth of people face social discrimination.
B．Most people may have mental or physical problems.
C．Long-term loneliness has become a common problem.
D．Many people consider socializing with others unimportant.
C 解析：细节理解题。根据第四段的However, one in four adults taking part in a US survey reported having no one to tell a secret to. The percentage is so high that it makes the researchers very worried.可知，长期孤独已经成了一个普遍的问题，到了研究人员为之担心的程度。
35．What might be the best title for the text?
A．Friends Are Very Important in Our Life
B．Feeling Homesick Can Lead to Loneliness
C．Social Outsiders Need Help from All of Us
D．Loneliness Can Be Harmful to Humans’ Health
D 解析：标题归纳题。根据文章内容可知，本文主要是想表明人类需要社交，长期处于孤独会对我们的健康有害。
第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Stress can do a lot of bad things to your body, from headaches to backaches, high blood pressure to heart disease. 36.________ Yes, it can. According to actress Demi Moore, who told Jimmy Fallon during a recent appearance on The Tonight Show that it was the reason why she lost her two front teeth.
37．________ Although she’d love to say her tooth loss was caused by an accident when she was working on that film, she felt it was important to share the truth behind her tooth loss. “Stress is probably one of the biggest killers in America after heart disease，” she told Fallon.
It’s important to know why tooth loss happens. 38.________ Moore didn’t provide details about the process of her front tooth loss. Although it’s a common thing that one’s teeth suddenly fall out in his dream, that’s not how the experts think.
Reader’s Digest got the explanation from Janet Zaiff, DDS, a dentist in New York. He explains, “Stress, of course, influences the body physically. When we consider its effects, we may first think of the more serious problems such as high blood pressure and heart problems. But there are also smaller problems. 39.________”
“These problems are known to cause heart disease. But they also lead to periodontal(牙周的) disease. 40.________” Dr Zaiff explains. Dr Zaiff also notes that when you combine periodontal disease with tooth grinding(磨牙), tooth loss is certainly a possibility.
A．Can stress do harm to our health?
B．It’s important for us to protect our teeth.
C．But can stress really make your teeth fall out?
D．And these can also gradually lead to bigger ones.
E．And it’s more important to know how to prevent it.
F．And this kind of disease finally can lead to tooth loss.
G．Moore was on The Tonight Show for her new film Rough Night.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。众所周知，压力对我们的健康有害，会引发头痛、腰酸背痛、高血压、心脏病等疾病。但你是否知道压力还有可能会使我们的牙齿脱落呢？
36．C 解析：此空设于段中，是一个过渡句。根据后文的Yes, it can.可知，此句是一个疑问句。又根据前文讲的压力可以给你的身体带来很多伤害，以及后文讲的这就是Moore失去她两颗牙齿的原因，可知，此句是问压力能否使你的牙齿脱落。
37．G 解析：此空设于段首，是对本段后面的内容做的铺垫。此空讲，Moore是为了她的新电影Rough Night才出现在“今夜秀”上的，后一句接着指出，她本来是想说她的牙齿是在拍摄这部电影中出现意外才脱落的，但是她还是觉得说出她牙齿脱落的真实原因很重要。
38．E 解析：此空设于段中，与上文存在递进关系。前一句讲知道牙齿为什么脱落很重要，此句进一步指出，知道如何预防它更重要。
39．D 解析：此空设于段尾，与上文存在逻辑上的指代关系。此句中的these指代的是上文中提到的smaller problems。
40．F 解析：此空设于段中，是对上一句的进一步解释。前文说那些问题可以引起牙周病，此句进一步指出，这种牙周病可以引起牙齿脱落。

Dear Susan，
I’m very sorry that I didn’t show up for the movie last night. I had a terrible headache and stayed in bed the whole day. I hoped it would get better in the evening but it didn’t. Meanwhile, I tried to call you at about 5 pm but there was no answer, so I left you a message. I hope this didn’t ruin your evening. I’m really sorry about that. I really hope you can understand me and that you’re not too mad at me.
I’m looking forward to your reply.
Yours，
Li Hua
第二节 概要写作(满分25分)
阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Small talk—Chitchat. These are short conversations we have at parties, while we wait in line at the store, at family events or work. Sometimes we make small talk with people we already know but not well. Often we have to make small talk with complete strangers. Many people find such small talk about random topics difficult. Some people say they hate it. Others say small talk is a waste of time. They may even call it idle chitchat or idle chatter, meaning it doesn’t do anything. They consider small talk not important. However, small talk is important.
Small talk can open doors that may lead to larger, more meaningful conversations. When you first meet someone or talk to someone you don’t know well, it would be awkward to begin a conversation about a really deep topic such as war, politics or the meaning of life.
Small talk also gives you the chance to decide whether you want to get to know that person better or not. Let’s say you make small talk with someone at a party. But they only want to talk about cats. You may not want to build a friendship with them unless you really, really love cats.
Chitchat can also increase your feeling of understanding, or empathy toward people you know but not well. Chatting with a colleague about their child may help you to understand more of their life outside the office. This could help build healthy work relationships.
Small talk could even help your larger communities—your relationships with neighbors. Exchanging recipe with a neighbor in your apartment building may make her noises upstairs easier to live with.
In 2011, most commuters(乘车往返于两地之间的人) in the city of Chicago said they would enjoy“quiet cars”where they sat alone and did not talk to anybody. Researchers at the University of Chicago then asked some participants in a study to talk to people while commuting to work on a train. They found that those who made small talk with strangers were happier than those who sat alone.
