The garden city was largely the invention of Ebenezer Howard (1850-1928). After an unsuccessful attempt to make a living as a farmer, he moved to Chicago, where he saw the reconstruction of the city after the disastrous fire of 1871. In those days, it was nicknamed “the Garden City”, almost certainly the source of Howard’s name for his later building plan of towns. Howard developed his design in the 1880s and 1890s, drawing on ideas popular at the time, but creating a unique combination of designs.
The nineteenth-century poor city was a terrible place, dirty and crowded; but it offered economic and social opportunities. At the same time, the British countryside was in fact equally unattractive: Though it promised fresh air and nature, it suffered from agricultural depression (萧条) and it offered neither enough work and wages, nor much social life. Howard’s idea was that a group of people should set up a company, borrowing money to establish a garden city in the depressed countryside; far enough from existing cities to make sure that the land was bought at the bottom price.
Garden cities would provide a central public open space, radial avenues and connecting industries. They would be surrounded by a much larger area of green belt, containing not merely farms but also some industrial institutions. As more and more people moved in, the garden city would reach its planned limit; then, another would be started a short distance away. Thus, over time, there would develop a vast planned house collection, extending almost without limit; within it, each garden city would offer a wide range of jobs and services, but each would also be connected to the others by a rapid transportation system, thus giving all the economic and social opportunities of a big city.
4.How did Howard get the name for his building plan of garden cities?
A.By using the nickname of the reconstructed Chicago.
B.Through his observation of the country life.
C.Through the combination of different ideas.
D.By taking other people’s advice.
5.What does the underlined phrase “drawing on” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?
A.Making comments on. B.Giving an explanation of.
C.Giving a description of. D.Making use of.
6.What can we learn about garden cities from the last paragraph?
A.Each one would continue to become larger.
B.People would live and work in the same place.
C.Their number would continue to rise.
D.Each one would contain a certain type of business.
7.What could be the best title for the passage?
A.City and Countryside. B.The Invention of the Garden City.
C.A New City in Chicago. D.A Famous Garden City in England.
C
Coming into the town of Santa Catarina Palopó, in the highlands of Lake Atitlan in Guatemala, the first thing you notice is the bright colors. Most of the buildings along the main street are eye-catching, deep blues and greens, dotted with red and yellow to form diverse patterns and designs.
Santa Catarina Palopó was once a sleepy town of 5, 000 people, most of them dependent on agricultural work. But as agriculture began to dry up here, poverty came. To deal with poverty and promote econ on growth through tourism, a small but creative group of laborers, artisans, domestic workers and stay-at-home moms created the Pintando Santa Catarina Palopó project.
The project aimed to paint all 850 homes and buildings in bright colors to change the hillside town into a work of art. “We wanted to paint the houses with colors and figures that represent the community” says the project’s executive director Stephany Blanco. “Families can choose designs for their house that are representative of the family.”
One of the most representative characteristics of the region is the blue huipil, a traditional blouse which has been worn commonly by local women since the 16th century. That deep sky blue was chosen the primary color-for the Pintando project, with secondary colors found in the sunsets and the nearby lake to make the design more attractive. Inspiration was also found in local culture, symbols such as volcanoes, flowers, and the national bird of Guatemala.
Each week, local artists, community members and tourists pick up paintbrushes to make buildings colorful. “At first, the idea of the project was uncertain, but now you can see a considerable difference in the town,” Melissa Whitbeck said. “The color of the buildings is believed to improve the quality-of life of the people. It uplifts the people’s mood and encourages them to be proud of their hometown.”
8.Why was the Pintando Santa Catarina project started?
A.Because of a workforce shortage. B.Due to the poor economic conditions.
C.Thanks to the increase in population. D.For the old-fashioned farming ways.
9.What is the project about?
A.Building family art galleries in Guatemala. B.Creating job opportunities for local artists.
C.Developing local tourism by selling artworks. D.Changing the town into a cultural destination.
10.What is the inspiration of the primary color for the project?
A.The surrounding volcanoes. B.Mayan-styled butterflies.
C.A type of traditional clothing. D.The national bird of Guatemala.
11.What is Melissa’s attitude towards the project?
A.Positive. B.Reserved. C.Concerned. D.Negative.
D
Of all the ways to define (定义) a challenge, the simplest works best: a call for special effort. It applies to everyone. It’s not enough to say that skiing a black diamond is a challenge; or that snowshoeing a 10-kilometr e route is a challenge. For some, neither may be. For others, both are unimaginable.
A call for special effort means only you know when you’re being challenged. If you’re red-faced and out of breath, it’s probably a challenge. If you have to focus and work hard to complete the task, consider yourself challenged.
This season, we sourced 10 of the most exciting winter challenges around Canada. Sure, there are some that even the writer has no intention of trying, but they all excite the imagination. They’re all about inspiring outdoor experiences at ExploreTM. We encourage adaptation as well as adoption.
When you read the feature (专栏) on page 28, you may give up the 6633 Arctic Ultra as well as the Ice Mile—but the Wapta Traverse, the famous Rocky Mountain ski tour, or the Pentathlon des Neiges, in Quebec City, may fit the bill nicely. Or maybe it’s a day-tour in the Rockies and sampling just one of the Pentathlon sports in a more relaxed setting. It’s up to you.
We wrote this article because we want you to see the possibility of winter: to look beyond a simple, though satisfying, day on the ski hill or skate on a nearby lake; to see winter as every bit as colorful as summer.
12.What does the writer think is the best way to define a challenge?
A.Skiing a black diamond. B.A call for special effort.
C.Applying it to everyone. D.Snowshoeing a challenging route.
13.How does the writer feel about the 10 winter challenges around Canada in Paragraph 3?
A.They are worth trying. B.They are the most challenging.
C.They are suitable for the writer. D.They fail to fire the imagination.
14.Which of the following will the writer avoid recommending?
A.The Ice Mile. B.The Wapta Traverse.
C.The Pentathlon des Neiges. D.The Rocky Mountain ski tour.
15.What is the purpose of writing this article?
A.To define a challenge. B.To introduce Canada’s sights.
C.To praise adventurous tourists. D.To encourage exploring winter challenges.

How to Travel with Your Friends Without Hating Them
The only thing better than a vacation with friends is a well-planned vacation with friends. 16 Choose your friends, destination and activities wisely and your group will enjoy a fun and memorable holiday-and start getting ready to plan the next one.
Not sure how to plan a trip with friends?
Choose friends you get along well with. You’ll be spending a lot of time with your travel companions, so think of people who have similar general travel habits and are flexible and relaxed. 17 Also consider how much you’ll be willing to compromise.
Decide on a date. Ask your friends when they can take time off from school or work. 18 The larger your group is, the harder it will be to find a time that works for all of you. Be patient and flexible and make a deal when you can.
Discuss a budget early on. Ask your friends to be open about how much you’re each willing to pay for the trip between travel, accommodation, food and entertainment costs. 19 For example, you could say, “I know it’s awkward, bat we should talk about a budget before we start planning everything.”
Pick a destination wisely. A key step in planning a fun trip with friends is picking the perfect destination. Big cities are an excellent pick, as there will likely be activities to suit everyone’s interests. 20 Consider the activities you want to do, sites you want to see and the amount of time you have to travel, as these factors will decide your destination.
A.Make your reservations for flights and accommodations.
B.All trips are meant for adventure, relaxation, and enjoyment.
C.Who you choose to travel with can, make or break your holiday.
D.Decide in advance how you will share expenses with your travel mate.
E.With careful preparation, your group will stay energized through the whole trip.
F.Narrow down preferences to a date and duration that works for the most people.
G.However, if you’re hoping to see nature, you may need to travel to more remote locations.

“Dad,” I say, “let’s take a trip. Fly and meet me!”
My father had just retired. He was 21 in his job, his thoughts, his life. While he woke up and took a warm shower, I screamed under a freezing waterfall in Peru. My father sees me drifting (游荡) 22 , nothing to show for my 33 years but a passport full of funny 23 . He wants me to 24 , but I want him to find an adventure.
He agrees to travel with me and we meet four weeks later in Rapid City.
“What’s our first stop?” asks my father.
“What time is it?”
“Still don’t have a 25 ?”
An hour away is Mount Rushmore. As he stares up at the four Presidents carved in granite (花岗岩), “ 26 ,” he says, “How was this done?”
The guide told us Gutzon Borglum 27 14 years to the sculpture (雕像) and then left the final touches to his son. We stare up and I ask 28 , “Would I ever devote my life to anything?”
No directions, no 29 . I used to hear those words in my father’s 30 . Now I hear them in my 31 .
My father says, “I never 32 much with my father. We loved each other — but never said it. Whatever he could 33 me, he gave.”
That last 34 — it’s probably the same thing I’d say about my father. And what I’d want my child to say about me. I realize — maybe a 35 job won’t be as dull as I feared.
I tell my father I’ve decided to settle down, and I’m wearing a watch.

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。
I’ve had my fair share of travelling around China, and a recent week-long trip to Guizhou was my first time to the province. It was 36 true learning experience.
I tried looking up meaning of the name Guizhou in the dictionary 37 advance, basically to have a reasonable idea of what is waiting for me. 38 that was a hard task, so I asked from a Chinese colleague among a group of local and foreign 39 (reporter) on the trip. From what she said, the province was named after a famous mountain called “Gui” and “zhou”, which 40 (simple) means province in Chinese.
Our trip began in Zunyi city, which enjoys great popularity among Chinese for the famous ‘Zunyi Conference’. Yet not much 41 (know) about this famous conference in Africa and the western world even today, but obviously it was at this place 42 China’s first leader and Chairman was elected.
The following journey was mind blowing as I went on to explore Anshun, a place that never fails 43 (attract) every visitor with its largest waterfall in Asia. I 44 (dream) of this place for a long time and am more than thrilled to witness the breathtaking views, which leave first-time visitors like me 45 (impress).

It was Emily’s turn to tell her class where she went this summer. She stood up proudly.
“This summer I went to Bradley,” Emily announced. “It has a big market there. My mom bought a painting and I got a second-hand skateboard. What an impressive trip it was!”
“That’s not a trip,” Frank shouted loudly to his partner. “It’s only half an hour from here. My dad and I often go to Bradley to buy tools for his repair workshop.”
“Frank, no interrupting,” said Miss Clare, their teacher. “And Bradley has a fine market. I’m glad that Emily shared her experience with us. Go ahead, Emily,” Miss Clare smiled warmly at her, encouraging her to continue.
But not feeling proud of her family’s trip to Bradley any more, Emily just felt embarrassed and dropped her head, saying in a low voice that it was finished. In the hope of not being noticed, the little girl hurriedly back to her desk with a red face.
She listened as Peter talked about his cruise to Greece and Mary’s trip across the Atlantic to Ireland. She also heard about John’s horseback ride through the Great Canyon. It seemed as if everyone but her had taken a big trip over the summer. “I never get to anywhere,” Emily thought to herself. A sense of loss clouded her the whole day.
After school, things went worse. One of the wheels on Emily’s skateboard came loose. Now she couldn’t even skate. Sitting on the sidewalk, Emily tried to fix her wheel but in vain, during which Miss Clare happened to pass by.
She walked up with a smile, asking, “Why are you sitting here?” Emily lowered her head, tears welling up inside her eyes. “Want to talk about it?” Emily nodded, trying to avoid Miss Clare’ eyes. Bending down, Miss Clare said gently, “You know, Emily, we don’t always have to travel far to learn anything.”
注意:
1. 续写词汇数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

As for the designs that would be used, they would also find inspiration in local culture, symbols such as volcanoes, flowers, Mayan-styled butterflies and the national bird of Guatemala. (该地区最具代表性的特征之一是蓝色的徽衫,这是一种传统的衬衫,自16世纪以来一直是当地妇女的突出穿着。深天蓝色被选为Pintando项目的主色调,在日落和附近的湖泊中发现次要颜色,使设计更具吸引力。至于使用的设计,他们也会从当地文化中寻找灵感,比如火山、鲜花、玛雅风格的蝴蝶和危地马拉的国鸟。)”可知,该项目的主色调灵感来自一种传统服装。故选C。

46.Dear Andy,
I am planning to have a winter travel to England, and that is why I am writing this letter to ask for some help from you.
As you know, it is my first time that I have had such an opportunity to visit England, so can you introduce to me some famous and must-see sights? I have heard so much about Big Ben, and will there be a lot of people crowding around? Besides, I’d also like to know what the best time of the visit is. Is it cold in England this time of the year? Nevertheless, I am still looking forward to travelling in England soon.
Thank you so much for helping me. Please reply to me at your earliest convenience.
Yours,
Li Hua

47.One possible version:
At this moment, Frank was walking by and saw them. Noticing Emily’s teary eyes, Frank swallowed what he had intended to say. A sense of guilt seized him and he stood there, frozen. Miss Clare patted him and encouraged, “An apology never comes late.” Hearing this, Frank raised his eyebrows and said sincerely, “I shouldn’t have said that. Sorry.” Emily looked down at her skateboard, wiped her tears and murmured, “Actually, that’s OK.” spinning the loose wheel.
“I can fix it,” Frank said with confidence. Grabbing her skateboard, he tightened the screws skillfully in no time. Soon enough, he looked up and handed the skateboard to Emily. To her surprise, it was working well again. A slight smile lifted, “Thanks.” On hearing this, Frank felt a wave of relief flooding into his heart. “I help my dad fix things all the time. You know, I didn’t go anywhere either this summer,” he said. Then they three looked at each other and burst into laughter. It was at that moment that both Emily and Frank truly understood they did not have to travel far to learn anything new.
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了课堂上Emily一开始很自豪地分享自己的暑假之旅,但是却遭到了同学Frank的打断,认为Emily去的Bradley旅途很近,根本算不上是旅行。Clare老师制止了Frank的行为,鼓励Emily继续说下去,但是Emily感到很尴尬,匆忙结束了自己的分享。听到其他同学暑假丰富的旅行经历后,Emily觉得只有自己没去任何地方,失落感使她一整天都闷闷不乐。放学后,情况变得更糟,Emily的滑板轮子松动导致她无法用滑板了,她尝试自己修理却没成功。这时Clare老师恰巧路过,和她交谈,安慰哭了的她人不必总是跑很远的地方去学东西。
【详解】1. 段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“这时,Frank经过,看见了她们”可知,第一段可描写Frank看到她们之后的反应和感受,以及Clare老师引导Frank向Emily道歉。
②由第二段首句内容“‘我能修好它,’Frank自信地说”可知,第二段可描写Frank帮Emily修理好滑板,以及Frank坦白实情,自己也没有外出旅行,却学到了东西。
2. 续写线索:Frank经过——Frank的反应和感受——Frank向Emily道歉——Frank提出修滑板——Frank修理滑板——Frank坦白实情
