【題目】 With the development of the tourist industry, traveling has become a fashionable way for people to spend their holiday. Most people like traveling with friends or families.1 Here are some advantages of traveling alone.

2

If you travel alone, you are the boss of yourself. You can do things according to your own timetable. You can decide freely whenever you go, wherever you visit and whichever transport you take. You don't need to wait for your partners. You can decide how long you stay at a place and which hotel you live in. Traveling alone gives you more freedom in making decisions.

Gaining more confidence, strength and learning new skills.

It is a great challenge to be alone on the road.

When you travel alone you might face some problems, make decisions and even meet some dangers on your own. All these challenges will make you stronger, braver and much more confident.3

Getting to know more people.

Traveling alone does not mean that you will always be alone. In fact, both other tourists and local people will be friendly to you. In order to know more about the places you are traveling to, you have to communicate with strangers. In this way, you can know more people. 4 Instead, the guide or your group members will talk with you all the way.

Finding out your shortcomings.

5 When you are traveling with your friends and family members, it’s hard for you to find out your shortcoming. While traveling alone, you'll find that you can't achieve many things without others' help. After traveling alone, you are sure to become better by leaving your shortcomings behind.

A.Having more freedom.

B.Enjoying what you like.

C.However, it's also a good idea to travel alone.

D.The purpose of traveling alone is to make friends on the way.

E.Traveling alone is a great chance for you to discover your disadvantages.

F.If you travel in groups you'll have very little need to communicate with strangers.

G.When traveling on your own you can also learn many skills, for example, making plans.

2此空是小標題。本段內(nèi)容主要是介紹獨自旅行有更多的自由,故選A項。

3此段的小標題是"Gaining more confidence,strength and learning new skills"(獲得更多自信,力量和技能)。此段中前面已經(jīng)提到了confidencestrength,所以此空應(yīng)該與獲得技能有關(guān)。G項(當你獨自旅行時,你也可以學到很多技能,例如,制定計劃。)切題,故選GG項中的"When traveling on your own"與上文中的"When you travel alone"句式一致。

4根據(jù)上文In order to know more about the places you are traveling to, you have to communicate with strangers. In this way, you can know more people.可知獨自旅行可以認識更多的人。根據(jù)下文Instead, the guide or your group members will talk with you all the way.可知相反,導(dǎo)游或你的小組成員會全程與你交談。根據(jù)語境,空處應(yīng)該是關(guān)于團隊旅行的,與獨自旅行形成對比。承上啟下,F(xiàn)項(如果你結(jié)伴旅行,你就很少需要和陌生人交流。)切題,故選F。

5根據(jù)本段小標題"Finding out your shortcomings"及全段內(nèi)容可知,通過獨自旅行,你可以發(fā)現(xiàn)自己的不足之處,獨自旅行過后,你會改掉缺點,變得更出色。E項中的"discover your disadvantages"與本段小標題呼應(yīng)。故選E項。

【題目】 I have been studying literature all the time, so someone asked me if l made the wrong choice by devoting myself to studying literature. I was deep in thought.

A good friend of mine took every single literature class she could while in college and decided early on that she wasn't cut out to be a teacher. Her parents were concerned because she wasn't really focused on becoming something that would pay the bills. In order to mollify their concerns, she took a library science course and told them she would regard library science as a career path. But she ended up taking a job as a communications assistant at a mid-size company and eventually became the director of communications. She put her literature studies to work in making company materials and has benefited a lot from that.

Another friend turned his love of Hemingway’s writings into inspiration for his artworks. Most people don’t stay at one job for their entire career. I can’t tell you how many teachers I worked with over the years give up teaching to paint houses, work in an advertising company, start a company, and so on. A degree is important for many places to get your foot in the door. But I think you should choose your job based on what you're really interested in,and no one says you have to do something for the rest of your work life.

Colleges generally don’t clue you in on the possible career paths available to you with your particular studies, but some are getting far better with guiding students toward the possibilities.Your reading, writing and analytical skills would be great advantages to many companies, so don’t think that your love of literature is going to leave you with few choices. So I didn’t feel sad to devote myself to studying literature.

1What does the underlined word “mollify” mean?

A.Express.B.Relieve.

C.Deepen.D.Realize.

2What does the author want to say by mentioning his friends?

A.Learning literature is good for one’s later careers.

B.Most people have a negative attitude towards literature.

C.His friends both disliked the career connected with literature.

D.College majors(主修課) have nothing to do with career choices.

3Which of the following does the author probably agree with?

A.Change your jobs frequently.B.Stay at one job for all your life.

C.Love whatever job you take up.D.Choose your job by your interest.

4From the passage, we can learn that the author _______________.

A.didn’t regret studying literature all the time

B.had a negative attitude towards literature learning

C.thought that love for literature held the key to career paths

D.thought that colleges should design career paths for students

【題目】 I come from a family that loves sports. My father coaches Little League baseball. My mother swims nearly every weekend. My brother is on his high-school basketball team, and I am the best hitter on my middle-school volleyball team. All of us have benefited (受益) from sports. One of the most common ways for kids to take part in sports is to join a team. Joining a sports team should be a school requirement.

Playing sports is good for both the body and mind. Everyone knows that exercise helps people stay fit. For example, swimming helps your heart work better and it also helps build muscle strength (肌肉力量). In addition, school athletes often have a healthy diet. I eat a lot of fruit and vegetables and avoid fatty foods because I must stay in great condition.

Being on a team allows students to enjoy a healthier social life. They often make more friends and can be some of the most popular kids in school. Since joining the basketball team, my brother has made friends with a lot of his teammates and has showed more interest in spending time with them.

Kids who take part in school teams sometimes earn college scholarships (獎學金). My brother’s friend, Justin, played football in high school. His family did not have money to send him to college. However, a college invited him to play on its team. The college is paying for him to go to school. Joining a team turned out to be one of the best decisions he had ever made. Now he studies at a great college and plays on its football team. Not every school athlete gets a college scholarship, but joining a school team makes it possible.

Although some people may not like the idea of forcing students to join a school team, its many benefits such as keeping kids healthy, new friendships, and possible scholarships cannot be denied (否認).

1What does the author mainly tell us in Paragraph 2?

A.Playing sports has health benefits.

B.Students should spend more time exercising.

C.Swimming is an excellent sport for students.

D.School athletes must try to eat a healthy diet.

2How did the author’s brother change after joining the team?

A.He had a busier life.

B.He got more chances.

C.He worked much harder.

D.He became more sociable.

3What can we infer about Justin?

A.He is a good football player.

B.He will be given a scholarship.

C.He is managing a school team.

D.He comes from a wealthy family.

4What is the author’s attitude to making students join school teams?

A.He doubts it.

B.He is in support of it.

C.He is worried about it.

D.He pays little attention to it.

What are the British like when it comes to learning languages? According to a survey published by the European Commission, the British are1(office) the worst language learners in Europe —62 percent of them can’t speak any other language apart from2(they) own.

Learning a foreign language is not a popular option at school in Britain; children start studying a foreign language3 11 and many give up completely several years later. So why don’t young people continue with languages at school? A research suggests that students think it is more difficult to get good grades in languages than in other subjects, such as science or history. The government is now looking at different ways4(improve) language learning. One idea is to start much younger and introduce foreign languages from the age of five. 5 idea is to give school children more6 (choose) and expand the range of languages7(teach) to include Arabic, Mandarin and Urdu.

Mandarin Chinese is predicted to become the second most popular foreign language learned in UK schools. Brighton College headmaster Richard Cairns says, “One of my key tasks is to make sure pupils 8(equip) for the realities of the 21st century. One of those realities is9China has the fastest-growing economy in the world.” It may be an ambitious task to change the Brits’ attitude to 10(learn) languages but the government is determined to try.
