B Seeing the text from Kathy: A family picnic this weekend? I found my hands began to sweat; my heart beat hard. I wanted to yell,“ No! Why would you suggest that? I thought we were friends!”I hated picnics. My hatred of them began as a child. I always got car- sick and it was hot all the way. Air conditioning in vehicles was pretty much unheard of in 1980s Birmingham, and my mother insisted on having all the windows closed because of the unpleasant smell of gas. We would arrive at some faraway destination, usually a car park with a field attached next to a plant, and unpack tasteless and sandwiches, nearly cold sausage rolls and disgusting salads. There were never any toilets, so we had to“ go” behind a bush; the memory of being discovered by a random dog- walker still embarrasses me from time to time. My mother sat in a relaxed way on a rug (小毯子) while we girls were playing nearby or maybe lying next to her. But for me this was a time when I suffered a lot. It was frightening to be attacked by ants or spot a dead rabbit in the grass. As an adult I'd avoided all picnics, but this time I couldn't. I just said yes, without letting Kathy sense my true feeling about them. She is my best friend and sometimes you must make sacrifices for people you like a lot.“I' ll bring the food, and you bring the drink,” she said. My ridiculously enthusiastic family and I arrived at the picnic site. My. expectations were low. Kathy and her husband Dave unloaded folding tables, chairs, a table cloth and ... a cool box of delicious food mostly purchased from a local deli(熟食店), which does all manner of pre- prepared salads and cold outs. There was fresh bread, olives, even candles to keep away insects, music, and wine. It was completely delightful. There may have been children playing around too, even if one of them did find a dead bird ( told you!). I am now a picnic enthusiast and we' re planning another. I'm even reading up on picnic recipes for it! 56. What was the author's attitude towards Kathy's suggestion according to the first paragraph? A. Supportive. B. Opposed. C. Indifferent D. Embarrassed 57. What can be inferred from the author's childhood picnics? A. The food was delightful. B. She enjoyed the journey. C. She thought the wild unpleasing. D. She could talk with her mother alone. 58. Why did the author accept Kathy's picnic invitation? A. Because she liked the picnic place. B. Because her family wanted to have the picnic. C. Because she didn't want to hurt Kathy's feelings. D. Because Kathy promised her a good picnic. 59. What can we infer about Kathy and her husband? A. They are great picnic organizer. B. They have good manners. C. They are animal- friendly people. D. They made careless of the picnic. 60. Why did the author write the text? A. To remember an unforgettable trip. B. To record her memories of family picnics. C. To express her thanks to her friend Kathy. D. To describe her changed attitude to picnics C Is boredom a thing of the past, like black- and- white television? And, if so, is that a good thing? Julie Robison, a former teacher who now represents the Independent Association of Prep Schools, thinks that boredom is regarded as an enemy of today's children, and they are losing the ability to become thoughtful and reflective(沉思的) . " We should not fear boredom." said Julie Robinson. Boredom is valuable to children. Quiet, reflective time is just as important as purposeful activity,” she added. Her opinion is that constant (连续不断的) activity for a child, often the result of the dreams of parents, will lead to concerned and worrying adult. The traditional ideas that children should be constantly active could prevent the development of their imagination. So anything that improves a great r thoughtfulness is to be warmly welcomed. Parents now feel a sense off a lure when they hear their children complain about being bored. They seek an electronic devices(设备) to play games at once. And we didn't feel bored during long car journeys anymore by the impatient " Are we there yet? ” because all kinds of electronic devices have been taken along to avoid even a minute of boredom. So what chance do children have to allow their thoughts to wander? But it's not just children who need lessons in reflection. Adults need that, too. On my train journey to work this morning, I couldn't see a single person who wasn't using an electronic device. No one was simply looking out of the window at the beautiful views of the county side. Not time for quiet thinking, even in the quiet library. There were emails to send, texts to read, and games to play. The wider world, seemingly, didn't exist. The mobile phone has changed many things about our lives, and has developed an in ability—— among adults as well as children— to live in the present. What Julie Robinson regards is a cross- generational phenomenon (现象) : the fear of" inactivity". And she is right. 61. Julie Robinson thinks boredom is useful because it makes children . A. find effective solutions to social problems B. improve the ability to learn knowledge C. have time to think and have their imagination developed D.communicate more with their parents and friends 62. What's the author's attitude towards the action of parents in Paragraph 4? A. Negative B. Hopeful C. Positive D. Unconcerned 63. Which of the following is seen as " inactivity" according to the last paragraph? A. Sending emails on a train. B. Playing games with friends. C. Planning constant activity for children. D. Looking out of the window at the beautiful views. 64. The author mentioned the train journey to show that . A. the trip on a quiet train was very boring B. the view of the countryside was beautiful C. people had too much work to do D. electronic devices influence people's life greatly 65. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A. Both adults and children like to stay alone and recall their past days. B. People fail to leave their children enough time to think and imagine. C. Electronic devices are always good for children. D. Parents should tell their children how to use a mobile phone. 第Ⅱ卷 第五节：阅读表达(共5小题； 每小题2分，满分10分) As we enjoy the summer ocean waves along the beaches, we may think nervously about Steven Spielberg's Jaws and the great fear that sharks inspire in us. Yet we are happy to see global efforts to protect the declining number of sharks. The world has realized that we need the species, like sharks, to keep a balance d ecosystem. Sharks, in particular, are“ in” these days. Thanks to good public policy and famous stars such as Jackie Chan and Ang Lee, killing sharks for fin soup is no longer cool. The demand for shark fins has been rising for decades, threatening sharks with extinction(灭绝)--- up to 100 million sharks are killed each year just for their fins. But we have started to reverse the trend, particularly in many areas of the United States and overseas where restaurants once proudly provided delicious shark fins on the menu. In California, a ban on the sale and possession of shark fin soup has gone into effect this year through the efforts of Wild Aid and other organizations. Overseas marketing and public efforts featuring posters on public transportation systems and TV ads have been underway for the past few years. These efforts all show signs of success, on both the supply side and the demand side of trade in shark fins. Actually, stopping the killing of sharks is part of a broader movement to stop the killing of wild animals and the buying and selling of wildlife products. These products come from hunting elephants, tigers and rhinos, besides killing marine life. Whether it is shark fin soup or ivory piano keys, killing animals is big business. The hunting of elephants in search of ivory tusks for luxury(奢侈的) goods has become a fall- scale war. The decrease of African elephant populations is alarming. Together with international partners, the United States is leading the worldwide effort to reduce demand for high- end products that rely on killing animals. 66.
