They do this by providing WiFi hotspot devices, for rent or purchase (购买) , which can be used on 6 different continents. About the WiFi devices The Pocket Travel WiFi devices are the size and shape of a small smartphone. The standard Hotspot Rental and the Sapphire 2 (for purchase) share a similar design with one mini-USB charging port. However, it’s important to note that these devices are not waterproof. When fully charged, they should last around 12 hours with fairly regular WiFi use. Additionally, the Sapphire 2 model features indicator lights displaying signal strength and battery life. Renting VS Buying the travel WiFi device The cost of purchasing a travel WiFi device is $89 — $109, and then you pay on top of that for data packages ($29. 9 for 20 GB in a month) . Most frequent travelers buy their own device for convenience. The rental price is based on the total number of days that you’ll keep the device and how much data you want to use each day. Daily rents range from $6. 9 for 1 GB, $12. 9 for 2 GB to $16. 9 for 3 GB. Week pass ($45. 9) with no data limit is also a good choice for short-term travelers. 1. What is an advantage of the travel WiFi device? A. It is resistant to water. B. It is quick to charge. C. It is convenient to carry. D. It is excellent in signal. 2. For a 7-day UK trip, what’s the minimum rent for a WiFi device? A. $6. 9. B. $29. 9. C. $45. 9. D. $48. 3. 3. Who is most likely to show interest in the device? A. A Greek who will travel in the UK. B. A diver who is training off the coast. C. A doctor who needs the latest information. D. An exchange student who studies abroad. B Even now, I have vivid memories of my last day of high school. In my mind’s eye, I’m cleaning out my locker, and then staring at the emptiness for a few extra beats before shutting for the last time. I’m wandering around the halls with my best friend, totally ignoring the bells going off every 45 minutes on schedule because, just today, we’re allowed to break the rules. I’m sitting on my desk, swinging my feet, and shooting the breeze with my English teacher, Mr. Carr, in a way that makes me feel almost grown up. It was maybe my favorite day of the whole year. If the school year hasn’t yet ended for you consider what you can do to make the finale count. Why? Because when it comes to human memory, not all moments are created equal. Instead, our remembered experiences are not equally influenced by peaks (the best moments as well as the worst) and endings (the last moments) . Nobel Prize winner Danny Kahneman, who discovered this phenomenon, called this the peak-end rule. It suggests that our judgment of a past experience is largely based on its most extreme point and its endpoint. I took advantage of the peak-end rule years ago, when my girls were young enough to want a bedtime story each night. I remember thinking that whatever disagreement and stress had occurred that day, I could make the last moments count. I could end on a note of calm and act like the patient mom I hadn’t quite managed to be just hours before. Don’t mistake all moments as equal insignificance. There’s a reason why yoga classes end with savasana (挺卧式) . There’s a reason we eat dessert last. Do organize endings carefully. As Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll might say: Finish strong. Last impressions are especially lasting. 4. What does the underlined phrase “shooting the breeze” in paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Watching a fantastic film. B. Having a small talk. C. Enjoying a light wind. D. Discussing an academic question. 5. What can the author suggest doing to make the end of a school year memorable? A. Planning a special event for the last day. B. Ignoring school rules totally. C. Reflecting on the entire academic year. D. Focusing on the final exam. 6. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. What struggles the author had in life. B. How the author treated her daughters. C. Why the author read stories to her kids. D. How the author applied the rule to daily life. 7. Why is Pete Carroll mentioned in the last paragraph? A. To show the importance of doing sports. B. To explain why last impressions are lasting. C. To prove the peak-end rule can be used in sports as well. D. To encourage readers to value the last moments of an experience. C The richness of the natural world aren’t spread evenly across the globe. Places like the tropical (热带的) Andes in South America are packed with unique species, many found no place else on Earth. Previously, the main explanation for the biological richness concentrated in places like the Amazon Basin was that they were such places where new species evolved at a faster rate than other parts of the world. But now, new research on bird evolution (进化) may turn that assumption on its head, and supports the idea that areas with fewer species actually tend to produce new species faster. The researchers say the biodiversity cold spots are generally found in more severe environments featuring freeing, dry and unstable conditions. Though the researchers have found these locations with few bird species tend to produce new ones at high rates, they fail to have many species because the unstable conditions frequently make the new life forms die out. The more well-known hot spots, by contrast, have their large numbers of species by being warm, pleasant and relatively stable. Indeed, the researchers have found that the countless bird species that call the Amazon home tend to be older in evolutionary terms. That actually accounts for higher species richness there. “Our results suggest that these hot spots for biodiversity are not hot spots for the evolution of new species, ” says Elizabeth Derryberry, an evolutionary biologist. “New species do form in places like the Amazon, just not as frequently as in more extreme environments. ” The researchers managed to collect 1, 940 samples (样本) representing 1, 287 of the 1, 306 bird species from South America. Their analysis revealed that the best predictor of whether an area would produce new species at a high rate was how many species lived there, rather than climate or geographic features like mountains. Species-rich areas tended to produce new species more slowly. On a practical level, the study’s findings add new urgency for stopping destroying ecosystems that may look dry and bare, because they may actually be nature’s hothouses for the evolution of new species. 8. What is the previous explanation for biodiversity in the Amazon Basin? A. Its species’ strong survival abilities. B. The immigration of foreign species. C. The rapid evolution of new species. D. Its vast living space for new species. 9. Why do the bird species in the Amazon tend to be older? A. It constantly attracts new species to come. B. There’s less competition and more chances. C. It had extreme environments a long time ago. D. The environment there is stable and favorable. 10. According to the study’s findings, what should we do? A. Preserve unpleasant ecosystems. B. Develop species-rich environments. C. Help species in hot areas live longer. D. Limit species in biodiversity cold spots. 11. What is the main idea of the text? A. Bird species prefer to live in more severe ecosystems. B. Species-poor areas may produce new species faster. C. Tropical areas are home to large numbers of species. D. Hot areas are more attractive to species than cold areas. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2. 5 分, 满分12. 5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Tennis is a particularly rewarding sport. ____12____ Perhaps the most obvious benefits tennis offers are the physical ones. However, it is also an incredibly mental sport. If there is one key aspect of the mental side of tennis, it’s that tennis is a game of problem solving. It is very easy to self-destruct(自我毁灭) when playing tennis if you let your expectations and ego get the better of you. So, simply playing the ball that is in front of you is the simplest way to approach the game, along with taking each point at a time. That being said, it is much easier said than done. ____13____ Even if it is as simple as playing to your opponent’s backhand as much as possible, or aiming to hit as many cross court(对角线球) balls as you can, it is important to have a plan of attack if you want to be successful on the court. ____14____ You may have the best plan in the world, but if you aren’t performing well enough to execute it or your opponent cottons on(领悟) what you’ re trying to do, you’ll need to adapt, improvise(临时做) and overcome. Adapting to new conditions, court surfaces, balls and playing styles is all part of becoming a better tennis player! ____15____ This means you need to be incredibly tough to play good tennis and overcome hardship. Don’t be too much bothered by some points you lose. Just learn from your mistakes but not let them get you down. Tennis is also about playing the big points well and understanding that not all points hold the same weight across the course of a match. Putting disappointment behind you and trying to play the next point with a positive attitude can be very difficult to do. ____16____ A. However, being flexible is also important. B. You will always have to have some form of strategy. C. However it is a key part of becoming a better tennis player. D. It can bring with it a whole host of physical and mental benefits. E. Every backhand shot you hit is what you throw at your opponent. F. Mastering the game of tennis takes a lot of mental and physical dedication. G. The scoring system in tennis means you can win more points and still lose a match! 第三部分 语言运用（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。 As a growing family, we gathered lots of stuff, especially toys.

Of course, there was the initial crying over losing his toys, but gradually he managed to ___24___ it. Days went by. Then weeks. ___25___, the absence of disorder seemed to promote a deeper sense of appreciation for the toys that ____26____. With fewer toys, my son had to rely on his ____27____, like turning a paper box into a spaceship and going on a fantasy adventure in it. It’s been months, and those packed toys are still in the basement. With each passing day, the ____28____ of our minimal (极简的) lifestyle became more evident. Freed from the burden of cleaning up the house, we ____29____ a world where less really became more.
