Camping provides outdoor lovers with the relaxation of the mind and inner peace. Here are some common ways to camp. Tent Camping This is the most basic and common way of camping. You can put up a tent in a park, on the beach, in the woods, or anywhere else you like, enjoying a few nights. Tent camping is a great choice for people who are new to camping because they don’t need to spend a lot of money and energy to get started. It is perfect for families with children because it creates a special time for parents and kids. Hiking Camping Hiking camping, also known as backpacking, means you will spend the whole day hiking with necessary equipment (装备) on your back. It can last anywhere from a few days to several months. It gives you the chance to get close r to nature. In case of an emergency, you’d better share your travel plans with someone. Survival Camping In this type of camping, a variety of skills are required to learn in order to survive in various outdoor conditions. You will search for food on your own in the wild and take emergency medical measures in the event of danger. It would be a good idea to have a partner with a wealth of experience in the wild. RV (野营车) Camping If you go camping in a motorhome, you will have more time to enjoy the outdoors. With a motorhome, you have almost everything at home, including comfortable beds, kitchens and entertainment. All you need is to find a suitable parking lot where you can park your car. You can also cook and enjoy food in the car and it will feel great. However, this is not recommended for starters. 1. Which camping is suitable for beginner campers? A. Tent camping. B. Hiking camping. C. Survival camping. D. RV camping. 2. What do Hiking Camping and Survival Camping have in common? A. They attract kids. B. They may be risky. C. They require training. D. They are family- friendly. 3. What is a unique advantage of RV Camping? A. Low costs. B. Closeness to nature. C. Homely comfort. D. Various activities. 【答案】1. A 2. B 3. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了四种常见的露营方式：帐篷露营、徒步露营、生存露营和野营车露营，以及各自的特点和适合人群。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中Tent Camping部分中“This is the most basic and common way of camping.(这是最基本、最常见的露营方式。)”和“Tent camping is a great choice for people who are new to camping because they don’t need to spend a lot of money and energy to get started.(对于刚开始露营的人来说，帐篷露营是一个很好的选择，因为他们不需要花很多钱和精力来开始。)”可知，帐篷露营是最基本且常见的方式，适合露营新手。故选A。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段Hiking Camping部分中“Hiking camping, also known as backpacking, means you will spend the whole day hiking with necessary equipment (装备) on your back. It can last anywhere from a few days to several months.(徒步露营，也被称为背包旅行，意味着你要背着必要的装备徒步旅行一整天。它可以持续几天到几个月。)”及“In case of an emergency, you’d better share your travel plans with someone.(以防发生紧急情况，你最好和别人分享你的旅行计划。)”和第四段Survival Camping部分“In this type of camping, a variety of skills are required to learn in order to survive in various outdoor conditions. You will search for food on your own in the wild and take emergency medical measures in the event of danger. It would be a good idea to have a partner with a wealth of experience in the wild. (在这种类型的露营中，为了在各种户外条件下生存，需要学习各种技能。你将在野外独自寻找食物，并在发生危险时采取紧急医疗措施。找一个在野外有丰富经验的伙伴是个好主意。)”可知，徒步露营和生存露营都有潜在的风险，因为在紧急情况下需要与某人分享旅行计划或拥有经验丰富的伙伴。故选B。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段RV Camping部分中“With a motorhome, you have almost everything at home, including comfortable beds, kitchens and entertainment.(有了露营车，你几乎拥有家里的一切，包括舒适的床、厨房和娱乐设施。)”及“You can also cook and enjoy food in the car and it will feel great.(你也可以在车里做饭和享受食物，感觉很棒。)”可知，RV 露营的一个独特优势是提供家庭般的舒适，包括舒适的床、厨房和娱乐设施。故选C。 B My wife and I enjoy a well-built home with a large yard. Our electricity comes from a pole in the street, our water from the city water company, and our natural gas from the natural gas supply company. We live in South Texas, the energy center of the world, so what’s there to worry about? That’s what a lot of people thought until a devastating winter storm hit Texas. Many people were left without water, power or gas. Temperatures inside even the best-built homes were dangerously low. Luckily, our electricity and gas stayed on. Even if they hadn’t, we were prepared for the worst. If we had lost our power and gas, we might have been uncomfortable, but we would have made it through thanks to our active preparation and my self-sufficient(自给自足的)skill set. My knowledge of getting through that type of situation comes from a lifetime of surviving in difficult environments. I grew up on a farm in Arkansas, where my family was almost totally self-sufficient. Later in life, I lived for three years in Fairbanks, Alaska, where living off the grid(电网)was a normal lifestyle and basic survival skills were a practiced necessity. So, although my wife and I are currently on the grid, I’m familiar with what it takes to live a comfortable lifestyle when the power is cut off. Perhaps the most important thing you can do to ensure your success living off the grid is to develop an energy-conscious(节能意识的)habit. Living off the grid doesn’t have to be a simple lifestyle like the kind I lived on the farm, but some of the same rules hold true, such as putting an end to using a clothes dryer and planning your wash days around the weather. 4. What does the underlined word “devastating” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Demanding. B. Disastrous. C. Delightful. D. Developing. 5. What would the writer do if he lost electricity and gas after the storm? A. Ask the government for help. B. Make active preparations. C. Improve self-sufficient skills. D. Lead a relatively normal life. 6. How did the writer know about living through bad situations? A. By growing up on a farm. B. By studying from the books. C. By suffering natural disasters. D. By learning from his experience. 7. What is the best way to live off the grid? A. To pay attention to saving energy. B. To live a simple life. C. To wash clothes on a rainy day. D. To buy a high- quality clothes dryer. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. D 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。作者就德克萨斯州暴雪断电情况发表自己感想：要防患于未然，形成即使脱离传统公共设施也能正常生活的能力。 【4题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第二段“Many people were left without water, power or gas. Temperatures inside even the best- built homes were dangerously low.(许多人没有水、电和煤气。即使是建造最好的房子，里面的温度也低得危险)”可知，这是一场“灾难性的”冬季风暴，使人们的正常生活变得很艰难。由此推测 devastating 表“灾难性的”意思，B项Disastrous意为“灾难性的”。故选B项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“If we had lost our power and gas, we might have been uncomfortable, but we would have made it through thanks to our active preparation and my self-sufficient(自给自足的)skill set.(如果我们没了电力和燃气，我们可能会感到不舒服，但由于我们积极的准备和我自给自足的技能，我们会度过难关的)”可知，如果作者家断电和断气，他也将过上相对正常的生活。故选D项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“My knowledge of getting through that type of situation comes from a lifetime of surviving in difficult environments. I grew up on a farm in Arkansas, where my family was almost totally self- sufficient. Later in life, I lived for three years in Fairbanks, Alaska, where living off the grid(电网)was a normal lifestyle and basic survival skills were a practiced necessity.(我克服这种情况的知识来自于我一生在困难环境中的生存经验。我在阿肯色州的一个农场长大，家里几乎完全自给自足。后来，我在阿拉斯加的费尔班克斯住了三年，在那里，远离电网是一种正常的生活方式，基本的生存技能是一种实践的必需品)”可知，作者通过从自己先前的生活经历中学习了解如何度过没有电的困难时期。故选D项。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Perhaps the most important thing you can do to ensure your success living off the grid is to develop an energy-conscious habit.(也许你能做的最重要的事情就是养成一种能源意识的习惯，以确保你在远离电网的生活中取得成功)”可知，有节能意识，养成节约能源习惯是脱离传统公共设施生活的最佳方式。故选A项。 C People speak English in different parts of the world. The same words can be used in different ways, depending on where you live. People can also have completely different ways of saying the same thing. The Oxford English Dictionary (OED) is asking the public to help it add new words. Editors want to find the regional (地区的) differences in English around the world. They want to increase its record of the language. Last year, the OED, BBC Radio and the Forward Arts Foundation teamed up to find local words in the United Kingdom. It resulted in more than 100 regional words and phrases being added to the dictionary. One was “cuddy wifter”, which means “a left-handed person”. Now, the OED is widening its search to English speakers around the world. Eleanor Maier, an editor at OED, said the reaction has been great. Editors are listing a number of suggestions to include in the dictionary. These include Hawaii’s “hammajang”, which means “in a disorderly state”. Another is the word for a swimsuit, “dookers” or “duckers”. It is used in Scotland. The OED also might include the word “frog-drowner”, which Americans might use to describe a downpour of rain. Another possibility is “brick”. It means “very cold” used by people in New Jersey and New York City. The dictionary has already found that, depending on location, a picture hanging off center might be described as “agley”. It might also be called “catawampous” or “ahoo”. “The OED aims to cover all types of English,” Maier said. That includes scientific words, slang and regional language. Maier also said that it can be difficult for the OED’s editors to identify (确认)regional words. Because the terms are more often spoken than written down. The project is called Words Where You Are. It is looking for more suggestions. “We were surprised and pleased by the number of regional words we were able to include,” said Maier. 8. Which of the following word has been added to OED? A. Agley. B. Frog-drowner. C. Cuddy wifter. D. Catawampous. 9. “Ice-cold” is closest in meaning to “________”. A. brick B. dookers C. hammajang D. ahoo 10. What can be inferred (推断) from the passage? A. More than 100 countries take part in the project. B. The OED’s editors are dissatisfied with last year’s revision. C. It is challenging to recognize the written form of some regional words. D. It is necessary for English learners to have an Oxford English Dictionary. 11. What is the main idea of the passage? A. It’s time to find the source of local words. B. The OED aims to collect new words from locals. C. The same English words can be used to say different things. D. The OED will include more regional words from around the globe. 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲的是牛津英语词典邀请公众帮助它添加新词，扩大该词典对语言的收录。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“It resulted in more than 100 regional words and phrases being added to the dictionary. One was ‘cuddy wifter’, which means ‘a left-handed person’.(这导致100多个地区的单词和短语被添加到词典中。其中一个是‘cuddy wifter’，意思是‘左撇子’)”可知，cuddy wifter已经被收录到牛津英语词典里。故选C项。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第五段“Another possibility is ‘brick’. It means ‘very cold’ used by people in New Jersey and New York City.(另一种可能是‘brick’。它的意思是“非常冷”，新泽西和纽约的人使用这个词)”可知，Ice-cold的意思和 brick 意思最接近，都表示非常冷。故选A项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“Maier also said that it can be difficult for the OED’s editors to identify regional words. Because the terms are more often spoken than written down.(梅尔还说，《牛津英语词典》的编辑很难识别地方词汇。因为这些词语更多的是口语使用，而不是书面表达)”可知，确认区域性词汇的拼写是很有挑战性的。故选C项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“The Oxford English Dictionary(OED)is asking the public to help it add new words. Editors want to find the regional differences in English around the world. They want to increase its record of the language.(牛津英语词典》正在向公众征集新词。编辑们想要找出世界各地英语的地域差异。他们想要增加该语言的收录)”以及文章主要内容可知，文章主要围绕牛津词典将收录更多来自世界各地的地域性词汇展开。故选D项。 D Playing outside can do good to children in many ways. As little as 10 or 15 minutes can support physical and mental (精神的) development. Generally speaking, children should aim to do 60 minutes of exercise per day. This could be running, climbing, skipping, jumping or kicking a ball at the park. Exercise helps children to stay fit and keep a healthy weight. It strengthens muscles and develops their balance. Exercise is also good for mental health. It gives off endorphins in their brains, which can make them feel happier. Studies have shown that playing outside can develop children’s motor skills: Gross motor skills are our ability to make large movements with our arms or legs. There are lots of ways to develop gross motor skills outside. For example, running around, walking on the roads which are not smooth or climbing hills. Fine motor skills are our ability to make smaller movements often with our hands. Children can develop these skills by picking up small objects. While playing outside, children can also build their vocabulary by naming the objects or animals they see around them. Ask your child to describe the view or find shapes in the clouds. Some children may find they’re happier to talk outside. With fewer people around watching or overhearing them, they can be more adventurous with their language. Moving through new and different places can improve children’s spatial awareness (空间意识). Playing outside often means children have to use their imagination and communication skills. They are likely to have fewer toys outdoors and so have to create their own games. This can increase how much children talk to each other. So you should think about chances in your daily life for children to spend time outdoors. Explore your local area. Or set up some activities or a family sports day. 12. What does the second paragraph mainly focus on? A. Time needed to do sports. B. Proper places for exercise. C. Sports suitable for children. D. Advantages of doing exercise. 13. Which of the following is fine motor skill? A. Taking weightlifting exercise. B. Picking up stones on the beach. C. Walking on the roads with care. D. Playing tennis on the playground. 14. Why do some children feel happy to talk outside? A. Because they have less stress from study. B. Because they like to take more adventures. C. Because they feel less watched or overheard. D. Because they love animals living in the wild. 15. Who is the text mainly written for? A. Parents. B. Children. C. Teachers. D. Researchers. 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。在外面玩对孩子有很多好处。仅仅10到15分钟就可以支持身体和精神的发展。 【12题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“Generally speaking, children should aim to do 60 minutes of exercise per day. This could be running, climbing, skipping, jumping or kicking a ball at the park. Exercise helps children to stay fit and keep a healthy weight. It strengthens muscles and develops their balance. Exercise is also good for mental health. It gives off endorphins in their brains, which can make them feel happier.(一般来说，孩子们应该以每天做60分钟的运动为目标。这可能是跑步，攀登，跳跃，跳跃或在公园踢球。锻炼有助于孩子保持健康的体型和保持健康的体重。它能增强肌肉力量，提高平衡能力。运动对心理健康也有好处。它会在他们的大脑中释放内啡肽，这会让他们感到更快乐。)”可知，第二段主要介绍了锻炼的好处，故选D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Fine motor skills are our ability to make smaller movements often with our hands. Children can develop these skills by picking up small objects.(精细的运动技能是我们经常用手做小动作的能力。孩子们可以通过捡起小物件来发展这些技能。)”可知，精细运动技能是我们经常用手做小动作的能力，孩子们可以通过捡起小物件来发展这些技能，由此可知，在沙滩上捡石头是精细运动。故选B。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Some children may find they’re happier to talk outside. With fewer people around watching or overhearing them, they can be more adventurous with their language.(有些孩子可能会发现他们更乐于在户外交谈。由于周围观看或偷听他们的人越来越少，他们可以更大胆地使用自己的语言。)”可知，有些孩子喜欢在外面聊天是因为他们觉得没有那么多人监视或偷听。故选C。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段“So you should think about chances in your daily life for children to spend time outdoors. Explore your local area. Or set up some activities or a family sports day.(因此，你应该考虑在日常生活中让孩子有机会在户外活动。探索你所在的区域。或者安排一些活动或者家庭运动日。)”中的your daily life for children可推知，本文是写给家长的。故选A。 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。 Are you sleepy as the afternoon wears on? When low energy drags (拖累) you down, don’t look to a candy bar, a cup of coffee, or an energy drink for a lift. The sugar and caffeine might give you an immediate pick-me-up, but after that feeling disappears, you’ll feel sleepy and even more tired. ____16____ Here are some ways. Let the sunshine in. Research suggests that just a few minutes of walking outside on a warm, clear day may improve mood, memory, and the ability to learn new information. Going outside can even improve your self-esteem. ____17____ Chew a piece of sugar- free gum (口香糖). It’s not exactly clear why, but many studies have shown that chewing gum increases attentiveness. Even before science confirmed it, during World War I, American soldiers were given gum to help them focus. ____18____ When you’ re stressed, it’s natural to breathe shallowly, which can decrease the amount of oxygen (氧气) that reaches cells. To lower the stress, try breathing in through your nose for four seconds, holding your breath for four seconds, and then slowly breathing out for four seconds. Have a drink of water. You don’t necessarily have to follow the “eight glasses a day” rule. But you do want to drink enough water to keep your body functioning well. ____19____ The walk there will also help you wake up. Play your favorite music. ____20____ So put on your favorite song, and sing away. If you’re at work and don’t want to face others’ puzzled looks, you might want to save your beautiful voice for the car. A. Have a big meal. B. Take a few deep breaths. C. Singing helps decrease levels of stress in your body. D. If you really can’t get out, at least open the window. E. What you need is a lasting solution to helping you feel refreshed. F. Try to get to the fridge or water cooler for a refill every few hours. G. Go for a walk in natural sunshine, especially in the early morning. 【答案】16. E 17. D 18. B 19. F 20. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一些自然而有效的方法来帮助读者在下午感到困倦时提神。 【16题详解】 根据空前“When low energy drags (拖累)you down, don’t look to a candy bar, a cup of coffee, or an energy drink for a lift. The sugar and caffeine might give you an immediate pick- me- up, but after that feeling disappears, you’ll feel sleepy and even more tired. (当低能量拖累你，不要指望一个糖果，一杯咖啡，或能量饮料来提神。糖和咖啡因可能会让你立即振作起来，但这种感觉消失后，你会感到困倦，甚至更累。)”可知此处讲的是当下午感到困倦和能量低下时不要指望通过糖果、咖啡或者能量饮料来提神，根据空后“Here are some ways. (这里有一些方法。)”可知下文要介绍一些应对下午困倦的方法，空处承上启下，所以空处应指出既然在困倦时不能依赖于咖啡喝糖果来提神，那么我们需要靠的是什么，E项What you need is a lasting solution to helping you feel refreshed. (你需要的是一个持久的解决方案，帮助你感到神清气爽。)提出解决方案，承接上文，引出下文，符合上下文语境，故选E项。 【17题详解】 根据空前“Let the sunshine in. Research suggests that just a few minutes of walking outside on a warm, clear day may improve mood, memory, and the ability to learn new information. Going outside can even improve your self-esteem. (让阳光照进来。研究表明，在一个温暖、晴朗的日子里，出去散步几分钟可能会改善情绪、记忆力和学习新信息的能力。外出甚至可以提高你的自尊心。)”可知本段讲的是外出散步的好处，空处位于段末，应对前文内容进行总结或进一步的说明和解释，D项If you really can’t get out, at least open the window. (如果你真的出不去，至少打开窗户。)指出如果实在出不去，那么打开窗户也是一个不错的选择，对前文内容进行了进一步的说明，承接上文，呼应段落小标题，符合上下文语境，故选D项。 【18题详解】 根据下文“When you’re stressed, it’s natural to breathe shallowly, which can decrease the amount of oxygen(氧气)that reaches cells. To lower the stress, try breathing in through your nose for four seconds, holding your breath for four seconds, and then slowly breathing out for four seconds. (当你感到压力时，呼吸变浅是很自然的，这会减少到达细胞的氧气量。为了减轻压力，试着用鼻子吸气四秒钟，屏住呼吸四秒钟，然后慢慢地呼出四秒钟。)”可知本段具体介绍了怎样做深呼吸，空处为本段小标题，所以空处内容应与深呼吸有关，B项Take a few deep breaths. (做几次深呼吸。)指出此处的建议是做深呼吸，概括本段内容，符合上下文语境，故选B项。 【19题详解】 根据空前“You don’t necessarily have to follow the “eight glasses a day” rule. But you do want to drink enough water to keep your body functioning well. (你不一定要遵循“一天八杯”的规则。但是你确实需要喝足够的水来保持身体的正常运转。)”可知此处说明了喝水的重要性，根据空后“The walk there will also help you wake up. (散步也会帮助你清醒。)”可知此处说明了取水过程中的步行也有助于提神，空处承上启下，所以空处的内容应该与经常性地补充水分有关，F项Try to get to the fridge or water cooler for a refill every few hours. (试着每隔几个小时就去冰箱或饮水机那里补充水分。)建议每隔几小时就补充水分，与上文保持水分充足的建议一致，且与下文关于步行提神的内容相衔接，承接上文，引出下文，符合上下文语境，故选F项。 【20题详解】 根据本段小标题“Play your favorite music. (播放你喜欢的音乐。)”可知本段的建议与音乐有关，根据后文“So put on your favorite song, and sing away. (所以，放上你最喜欢的歌，尽情地唱吧。)”可知此处给出了播放音乐，尽情歌唱的建议，空处承上启下，所以空处应该指出建议播放音乐尽情歌唱的原因，C项Singing helps decrease levels of stress in your body. (唱歌有助于降低你体内的压力水平。)解释了要唱歌的原因，承接上文，引出下文，符合上下文语境，故选C项。 第三部分 语言知识运用 (共两节，满分30分) 第一节 (共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 The man was called Kevin, and he was a ____21____ at the gymnastics school.

However, people kept disturbing me, and I was getting more and more annoyed. Of course, the more upset I got, the less I was able to concentrate. The last straw was when I heard someone behind me. The singing was so loud that I could even recognize the song! I turned around and glared at the person who was singing. It was a tall girl about the same age as me and she had a big smile on her face. She was standing with a book in her hands near the “English Literature” section. She looked like a literary type and seemed very interested in what she was reading. I glanced at the book’s cover. It was a book of Tennyson’s poems. The fact that she looked like a sensitive, friendly girl didn’t matter. If anything, it made me even angrily. In fact, I’m surprised there wasn’t steam coming out of my ears! I picked up my books, glared at her and whispered angrily, “Thanks to your noise. I’ve been unable to study. You’re so selfish!” Then I stormed out of the library with anger. Because I left the library in such a hurry, I left my most important textbook behind. It was only when I got home two hours later that I realized I’d forgotten it and there was nothing I could do as the library was closed. I was so upset that I almost cried. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Just then, the phone rang, and I answered it. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I sighed with relief and agreed to meet her at the convenience store down the road. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 Just then, the phone rang, and I answered it. And a gentle voice introduced the speaker as Jenny and asked if I was Jane. After confirming that I was, Jenny said that she had noticed I’d left my book in the library and as my name was in it, she’d asked a librarian to get my phone number from their files. She said that she didn’t live far away and could bring it around for me if I needed it. I sighed with relief and agreed to meet her at the convenience store down the road. The moment I saw Jenny, I was shocked as if rooted to the spot/my jaw dropped to the ground. Just as you could guess, she was the girl I had shouted at for singing. I was filled with shame and apologized several times for my rude behavior. I felt so guilty, but Jenny just laughed and forgave me, relieving my embarrassment in a gentle voice. Hearing her considerate words, I nodded firmly, knowing kindness and friendship bloom in both of our hearts. Till now, she has been my best friend I can trust and count on. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者在图书馆为期末考试复习的时候，结果一个女孩的歌声打扰到了作者，作者十分生气，冲对方大喊，怒气冲冲地冲出了图书馆，结果把最重要的课本遗忘了。结果女孩把作者的书送了回来，作者十分愧疚，向对方道了歉。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“就在这时，电话铃响了，我接了电话”可知，第一段可描写打电话的人是捡到了作者的书想要归还。 ②由第二段首句内容“我如释重负地叹了口气，同意在路那头的便利店见她”可知，第二段可描写作者发现对方就是图书馆唱歌的女孩，作者感到羞愧向对方道歉。 2.续写线索：接电话——对方想要归还书——见到对方——作者羞愧——作者道歉——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①看见：see/notice ②充满：be filled with/be crowded with ③缓解：relieve/ease 情绪类 ①吃惊：shocked/surprised ②体贴：considerate/thoughtful 【点睛】[高分句型1] The moment I saw Jenny, I was shocked as if rooted to the spot/my jaw dropped to the ground.

Camping provides outdoor lovers with the relaxation of the mind and inner peace. Here are some common ways to camp. Tent Camping This is the most basic and common way of camping. You can put up a tent in a park, on the beach, in the woods, or anywhere else you like, enjoying a few nights. Tent camping is a great choice for people who are new to camping because they don’t need to spend a lot of money and energy to get started. It is perfect for families with children because it creates a special time for parents and kids. Hiking Camping Hiking camping, also known as backpacking, means you will spend the whole day hiking with necessary equipment (装备) on your back. It can last anywhere from a few days to several months. It gives you the chance to get close r to nature. In case of an emergency, you’d better share your travel plans with someone. Survival Camping In this type of camping, a variety of skills are required to learn in order to survive in various outdoor conditions. You will search for food on your own in the wild and take emergency medical measures in the event of danger. It would be a good idea to have a partner with a wealth of experience in the wild. RV (野营车) Camping If you go camping in a motorhome, you will have more time to enjoy the outdoors. With a motorhome, you have almost everything at home, including comfortable beds, kitchens and entertainment. All you need is to find a suitable parking lot where you can park your car. You can also cook and enjoy food in the car and it will feel great. However, this is not recommended for starters. 1. Which camping is suitable for beginner campers? A. Tent camping. B. Hiking camping. C. Survival camping. D. RV camping. 2. What do Hiking Camping and Survival Camping have in common? A. They attract kids. B. They may be risky. C. They require training. D. They are family- friendly. 3. What is a unique advantage of RV Camping? A. Low costs. B. Closeness to nature. C. Homely comfort. D. Various activities. B My wife and I enjoy a well-built home with a large yard. Our electricity comes from a pole in the street, our water from the city water company, and our natural gas from the natural gas supply company. We live in South Texas, the energy center of the world, so what’s there to worry about? That’s what a lot of people thought until a devastating winter storm hit Texas. Many people were left without water, power or gas. Temperatures inside even the best-built homes were dangerously low. Luckily, our electricity and gas stayed on. Even if they hadn’t, we were prepared for the worst. If we had lost our power and gas, we might have been uncomfortable, but we would have made it through thanks to our active preparation and my self-sufficient(自给自足的)skill set. My knowledge of getting through that type of situation comes from a lifetime of surviving in difficult environments. I grew up on a farm in Arkansas, where my family was almost totally self-sufficient. Later in life, I lived for three years in Fairbanks, Alaska, where living off the grid(电网)was a normal lifestyle and basic survival skills were a practiced necessity. So, although my wife and I are currently on the grid, I’m familiar with what it takes to live a comfortable lifestyle when the power is cut off. Perhaps the most important thing you can do to ensure your success living off the grid is to develop an energy-conscious(节能意识的)habit. Living off the grid doesn’t have to be a simple lifestyle like the kind I lived on the farm, but some of the same rules hold true, such as putting an end to using a clothes dryer and planning your wash days around the weather. 4. What does the underlined word “devastating” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Demanding. B. Disastrous. C. Delightful. D. Developing. 5. What would the writer do if he lost electricity and gas after the storm? A. Ask the government for help. B. Make active preparations. C. Improve self-sufficient skills. D. Lead a relatively normal life. 6. How did the writer know about living through bad situations? A. By growing up on a farm. B. By studying from the books. C. By suffering natural disasters. D. By learning from his experience. 7. What is the best way to live off the grid? A. To pay attention to saving energy. B. To live a simple life. C. To wash clothes on a rainy day. D. To buy a high- quality clothes dryer. C People speak English in different parts of the world. The same words can be used in different ways, depending on where you live. People can also have completely different ways of saying the same thing. The Oxford English Dictionary (OED) is asking the public to help it add new words. Editors want to find the regional (地区的) differences in English around the world. They want to increase its record of the language. Last year, the OED, BBC Radio and the Forward Arts Foundation teamed up to find local words in the United Kingdom. It resulted in more than 100 regional words and phrases being added to the dictionary. One was “cuddy wifter”, which means “a left-handed person”. Now, the OED is widening its search to English speakers around the world. Eleanor Maier, an editor at OED, said the reaction has been great. Editors are listing a number of suggestions to include in the dictionary. These include Hawaii’s “hammajang”, which means “in a disorderly state”. Another is the word for a swimsuit, “dookers” or “duckers”. It is used in Scotland. The OED also might include the word “frog-drowner”, which Americans might use to describe a downpour of rain. Another possibility is “brick”. It means “very cold” used by people in New Jersey and New York City. The dictionary has already found that, depending on location, a picture hanging off center might be described as “agley”. It might also be called “catawampous” or “ahoo”. “The OED aims to cover all types of English,” Maier said. That includes scientific words, slang and regional language. Maier also said that it can be difficult for the OED’s editors to identify (确认)regional words. Because the terms are more often spoken than written down. The project is called Words Where You Are. It is looking for more suggestions. “We were surprised and pleased by the number of regional words we were able to include,” said Maier. 8. Which of the following word has been added to OED? A. Agley. B. Frog-drowner. C. Cuddy wifter. D. Catawampous. 9. “Ice-cold” is closest in meaning to “________”. A. brick B. dookers C. hammajang D. ahoo 10. What can be inferred (推断) from the passage? A. More than 100 countries take part in the project. B. The OED’s editors are dissatisfied with last year’s revision. C. It is challenging to recognize the written form of some regional words. D. It is necessary for English learners to have an Oxford English Dictionary. 11. What is the main idea of the passage? A. It’s time to find the source of local words. B. The OED aims to collect new words from locals. C. The same English words can be used to say different things. D. The OED will include more regional words from around the globe. D Playing outside can do good to children in many ways. As little as 10 or 15 minutes can support physical and mental (精神的) development. Generally speaking, children should aim to do 60 minutes of exercise per day. This could be running, climbing, skipping, jumping or kicking a ball at the park. Exercise helps children to stay fit and keep a healthy weight. It strengthens muscles and develops their balance. Exercise is also good for mental health. It gives off endorphins in their brains, which can make them feel happier. Studies have shown that playing outside can develop children’s motor skills: Gross motor skills are our ability to make large movements with our arms or legs. There are lots of ways to develop gross motor skills outside. For example, running around, walking on the roads which are not smooth or climbing hills. Fine motor skills are our ability to make smaller movements often with our hands. Children can develop these skills by picking up small objects. While playing outside, children can also build their vocabulary by naming the objects or animals they see around them. Ask your child to describe the view or find shapes in the clouds. Some children may find they’re happier to talk outside. With fewer people around watching or overhearing them, they can be more adventurous with their language. Moving through new and different places can improve children’s spatial awareness (空间意识). Playing outside often means children have to use their imagination and communication skills. They are likely to have fewer toys outdoors and so have to create their own games. This can increase how much children talk to each other. So you should think about chances in your daily life for children to spend time outdoors. Explore your local area. Or set up some activities or a family sports day. 12.

However, people kept disturbing me, and I was getting more and more annoyed. Of course, the more upset I got, the less I was able to concentrate. The last straw was when I heard someone behind me. The singing was so loud that I could even recognize the song! I turned around and glared at the person who was singing.

She looked like a literary type and seemed very interested in what she was reading. I glanced at the book’s cover. It was a book of Tennyson’s poems.
