Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
It's great fun to explore new places, and it may be like an adventure, even when you know you're not the first to have been there.But to make sure not to get lost or waste time going round in circles, the following tips may be helpful.
?Do the map reading if you're being driven somewhere.It'll be easier if you keep the map following the direction you're traveling in.Keep looking ahead so that you can give the driver lots of warning before having to make a turn or you'll have to move to the back seat.
?Get a group of friends together and go exploring.You'll need a good map, a compass, a raincoat, a cell phone to call for help in case you get lost, and a bit of spare cash for unexpected and dangerous situations.Tell someone where you're going before you set out and let him know what time you expect to be back.The purpose of the activity is not in getting lost, not in seeing how fast you can go, so always stick together, waiting for slower friends to catch up.
?See if your school or a club organizes orienteering (越野识途比赛) activities, in which you need a map and a compass to find your way.This can be done as a sport, with teams trying to find the way from A to B (and B to C, etc.)in the fastest time, or simply as a spare-time activity.It enables you to be familiar with the use of maps and compasses and gain some practical skills.In some way, it's not only good fun, but also a great way to keep healthy.
No matter which way you choose, it's not only good fun, but a great way to keep fit.

3．Orienteering activities can ________.
A．make people work fast

People who like travelling have their reasons.They believe that travelling can help them expand their field of view, especially in the geographical and historical sense.They also think that touring will give them more chances to enjoy different kinds of food and experience new things that would never be brought by other activities.But those who dislike travelling also have some reasons.
Travelling, in my opinion, does more good than harm.Most importantly, broadens (使扩大) our mind.We can get in touch with other civilizations (文明), cultures, customs and ideas.
Through history，most people travelled because of necessity (必要性)—not for pleasure.People travelled just in order to remain alive.They searched for food to eat or places to live in.They sometimes ran away from enemies.This is not to say that no one ever travelled just for the fun of it.In ancient times, for example, rich Romans travelled all the way to Greece to take part in the Olympic Games, and festivals.Of course, some people decided to travel just out of curiosity (好奇心)．They wanted to find out what it looked like beyond the horizon (地平线)．Also business travel has been going on for centuries.Traders could not only make money but also learn to speak several languages and be introduced to different cultures.
So，travelling does enrich our mind and draw new ideas to us.There is no doubt that we can get much from it.
【语篇解读】 自古至今，人们都会去旅游。不过，在古代，人们旅游更多的是为了生计；而现在，人们旅游是为了增长见识和享受生活。

A．widen B．protect
C．lose D．decide
解析：选A 词义猜测题。根据第二段出现的“broadens”及最后一段的“enrich”，可以推测这里的expand一词表示“扩大，拓宽”之意，widen一词与之意思最接近。
6．According to the passage, in the past most people travelled ________.
A．for fun B．for knowledge
C．to get experience D．to make a living
解析：选D 细节理解题。根据第三段第一句“Through history，most people travelled because of necessity (必要性)—not for pleasure.”及第二句中的“in order to remain alive”可知在古代人们外出多是为了生计奔波，故选D项。
7．In the writer's opinion, travelling can be ________.
A．expensive B．funny
C．helpful D．tiring
解析：选C 推理判断题。作者主要讲了旅游带来的种种好处，从第二段第一句及最后一段都能看出他对旅游持积极肯定的态度，认为旅游很有益，故选C项。

Ⅰ.七选五
(2018·安徽重点高中高一期末)
Everyone can benefit from better communication. 1 Of course, we know that isn't true, but this shouldn't stop you improving your communication skills.Here are a few tips to help you become a better communicator.
2
Verbal (口头的) language is only one part of the communication—body language is another.If you want to know how to tell if someone is lying, body language is the answer.Your body language tells other people what you aren't verbally saying, such as if you are anxious, confident, confused, angry or any other type of emotion or state of mind.If you become great at reading body language, it will help you become a better communicator.
Listen to others
Before you ever begin to speak, take a minute to see if anyone else has something to say. 3 Listening to others has many benefits, such as allowing you to learn new things or get information that you may later need.
Think before you speak
Your parents probably told you this when you were a child, but many people still do not take a moment to think about the words they are about to say. 4 There is a time and place for all words and tones of voice.
5 You will have to practice your communication skills before you can ever become an excellent communicator.
A．This is not an overnight thing.
B．Singing a song for them is good.
C．Become fluent in body language.
D．Don't try to make the conversation go your way.
E．You should decide what you want to get in a conversation before you choose your words.
F．If you are too anxious, you can't look for the right body language to use in communication.
G．In fact, if everybody were excellent communicators, the world would be a much better place.
【语篇解读】 本文主要讲了几个方法提高交流技巧，帮助你成为更好的交流者。
1．解析：选G 由“Of course，we know that isn't true，but this shouldn't stop you improving your communication skills.”可知，前面空格处说的不正确，但这不能阻止你提高交流技巧，所以应选G。
2．解析：选C 由下文可知，此处应填标题，下面一段都在讲body language 是交流中的另一门技巧，故C选项正确。
3．解析：选D 由本段第一句可知，在你说话之前，先看看别人是否有话要说，先听别人说完再说，故D选项正确。
4．解析：选E 由本段第一句可知，或许你父母在你小的时候就告诉你说话之前先思考，但许多人仍然在他们说话之前没有花点时间思考，故E选项正确。
5．解析：选A 由本段最后一句可知，在你变成杰出的交谈者之前还需要练习你的谈话技术，所以前一句应该是变成一个好的交谈者并不是短时间的事，而是一个长期积累进步的过程，故A选项正确。
Ⅱ.完形填空

In the summer holiday following my eighteen birthday，I took driving lessons.I still remember how hard first day was.Before getting into the car, I thought I had learned the instructor's orders, so once I started the car, my mind goes blank.I forgot what he had said to me altogether.The instructor kept repeating the word, “Speed up！” “Slow down！” “Turning left！” I was so much nervous that I could hardly tell which direction was left.A few minutes late, the instructor asked me to stop the car.It was a relief and I came to a suddenly stop just in the middle on the road.
