Two years ago, as my then-9-year-old son, George, and I were preparing for a mom-son ski trip to Keystone, Colorado, I came up with a rule: We would say yes to everything that comes our way.
George is a picky eater and can be unwilling to try new things. According to him, it’s because he has fears, including heights, spiders and the dark. I was hoping to find a solution. So I borrowed the idea of a Yes Day, inspired by a movie I watched. Before the trip, George and I agreed we would say yes to everything, especially new ones.
Settled at our hotel, I took George to meet his snowboarding instructor. Though he had basic lessons in Connecticut, this was his first time on a larger mountain. While he learned, I skied by myself, choosing an easy green run on the first day. Inspired by George’s bravery on the chairlift (升降机) , I challenged myself to ski a more demanding blue run the next day. It was steep, but with careful turns, I made it down in one piece, feeling proud of conquering a new challenge.
Later that afternoon, when George and I were reunited, he asked if we could go in the outdoor hot tub (浴池). Mind you, it was a 20-degree day, and the only thing I hate more than being cold is being cold and wet! When I started to refuse, George reminded me of the rule.
Yes, it was cold, and yes, I was wet. But it was also refreshing to feel the cold air on my skin, and the warm water of the hot tub felt that much better once we got in. Getting out was a different story, but the experience was a delight as George and I braved it together.
Developing a sense of adventure helps us live life to the fullest — even if you sometimes wind up cold and wet.
4. Why did the writer start a “Yes Day” rule?
A. To conquer George’s ski fears.
B. To master new snowboarding skills.
C. To encourage George to try new things.
D. To win in snowboarding competitions.
5. Which of the following best describes George?
A. Confident. B. Courageous. C. Positive. D. Responsible.
6. What can we learn about the writer from paragraph 4&5?
A. She was eager to go in the outdoor hot tub.
B. She regretted breaking the rule with George.
C. She felt much better when she got out of the tub.
D. She found it rewarding to brave the experience.
7. What is a suitable title for the text?
A. Welcoming Yes: A Family Adventure
B. Family Ski Trip: Mountain Memories
C. Ski Challenges: Winter Wonders
D. Braving Winter: Family Unity
【答案】4. C 5. B 6. D 7. A
【解析】

推理判断题。根据第三段的“Inspired by George’ s bravery on the chairlif t (升降机) , I challenged myself to ski a more demanding blue run the next day.(在他学习滑雪的时候,我独自一人滑雪,第一天选择了一条简单的绿色初级雪道。受到乔治在乘坐缆车时勇敢表现的启发,我第二天挑战了自己,尝试了一条更具挑战性的蓝色中级雪道)”可推知,乔治在面对恐惧时仍然敢于尝试新事物,表现出勇敢的特质。故选B。

推理判断题。根据第四段的“Mind you, it was a 20-degree day, and the only thing I hate more than being cold is being cold and wet! When I started to refuse, George reminded me of the rule.(请注意,那天的气温是零下20度,而且我最讨厌的事情莫过于冷上加湿!当我开始拒绝时,乔治提醒了我我们定下的规则)”以及第五段的“But it was also refreshing to feel the cold air on my skin, and the warm water of the hot tub felt that much better once we got in. Getting out was a different story, but the experience was a delight as George and I braved it together.(但感受到冷空气拂过皮肤也别有一番清爽,一旦我们进入热水浴池,那温暖的水更显得格外惬意。出来的时候是另一回事了,不过这次经历非常美妙,因为乔治和我一起勇敢地体验了这一切)”可推知,尽管作者最初感到寒冷和不适,但她发现这一体验很有价值,并乐在其中。故选D。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第一段的“Two years ago, as my then-9-year-old son, George, and I were preparing for a mom-son ski trip to Keystone, Colorado, I came up with a rule: We would say yes to everything that comes our way.(两年前,当时9岁的儿子乔治和我正在准备一次前往科罗拉多州基思通的母子滑雪之旅时,我想出了一个规则:我们会对我们遇到的一切都说“好”)”可知,文章主要讲述作者和儿子乔治在滑雪旅行中通过设立“Yes Day”的规则,挑战新事物并体验冒险的故事。A选项“Welcoming Yes: A Family Adventure (拥抱每一个“yes”:我们的家庭冒险)”适合作本文的标题。故选A。

“Red tourism”, a new form of travel where people visit important historical sites and monuments (纪念碑). It has improved the development of the tourism industry in summer. And red tourism becomes more popular during the National Day Golden Week holiday.
Ticket bookings for red tourism sites in June increased by five times with local and short trips to red tourism sites being the choice of about 88 percent of such tourists. And the search for the term “red tourism” on Mafengwo, a Chinese travel service and social-networking platform (平台), increased by 300 percent during the summer holidays.
Red tourism is not only about the joy of visiting a new place and enjoying the wonderful sights. It is also about gaining knowledge about history and being inspired by the stories of the people who gave their lives to the founding of the People’s Republic in 1949 and worked for the happiness of the Chinese people. By rediscovering history and passing on the stories of the Chinese revolution (革命) and its heroes to the next generations, people can lift their spirits.
Red tourism can also be used as an opportunity to develop rural (农村的) areas because most of the red tourism sites are in the countryside. It can raise the incomes (收入) of local people. Since red tourism creates jobs and helps increase farmers’ incomes, it contributes to local economic development.
Data show that this year, there are about 2 billion tourists visiting red tourism sites, and its market size nearly reaches 1 trillion. Yet red tourism faces some developmental problems, mainly because some local government officials have failed to make the best use of red tourism resources for local development.
8. What can we know about red tourism?
A. It is not popular with the young. B. It has brought life to tourism.
C. It is a traditional form of tourism. D. It is about visiting beautiful scenery.
9. Why does the author list the numbers in paragraph 2?
A. To raise concern. B. To prove his idea.
C. To explain the story. D. To introduce a platform.
10. What is the advantage of red tourism for rural areas?
A. Local people can make more money.
B. It can help improve farming equipment.
C It can offer job opportunities to visitors.
D. Local people can receive much help from society.
11. What will be mentioned in the following paragraphs?
A. More and more people will choose red tourism.
B. Many travel companies will benefit from red tourism.
C. Some measures should be taken to solve problems.
D. More red tourism sites should be open to the public.
【答案】8. B 9. B 10. A 11. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲的是当代旅游业的一种新的旅游形式——红色旅游的基本情况及存在的问题。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“‘Red tourism’, a new form of travel where people visit important historical sites and monuments (纪念碑). It has improved the development of the tourism industry in summer. (‘红色旅游’是一种新的旅游形式,人们可以参观重要的历史遗迹和纪念碑。它促进了夏季旅游业的发展。)”可知,红色旅游给旅游业带来了新的生机。故选B项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Ticket bookings for red tourism sites in June increased by five times with local and short trips to red tourism sites being the choice of about 88 percent of such tourists. And the search for the term ‘red tourism’ on Mafengwo, a Chinese travel service and social-networking platform (平台), increased by 300 percent during the summer holidays. ( 6月份,红色旅游景点的门票预订量增长了五倍,其中约88%的游客选择当地和短途前往红色旅游景点。暑假期间,在中国旅游服务和社交网络平台马蜂窝上搜索‘红色旅游’一词的人数增加了300%。)”可知,作者列举数字是为了进一步证明自己在第一段提出的观点——红色旅游给旅游业带来了新的生机。故选B项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Red tourism can also be used as an opportunity to develop rural (农村的) areas because most of the red tourism sites are in the countryside. It can raise the incomes (收入) of local people. Since red tourism creates jobs and helps increase farmers’ incomes, it contributes to local economic development. (红色旅游也可以作为发展农村地区的机会,因为大多数红色旅游景点都在农村。它可以提高当地人民的收入。由于红色旅游创造了就业机会,有助于增加农民收入,因此有助于当地经济发展。)”可知,因为大多数革命根据地和红色旅游景点都在农村,所以当地农民可以赚更多的钱。故选A项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Yet red tourism faces some developmental problems, mainly because some local government officials have failed to make the best use of red tourism resources for local development. (然而,红色旅游面临一些发展问题,主要是因为一些地方政府官员未能充分利用红色旅游资源促进当地发展。)”可知,虽然红色旅游会促进当地经济的发展,但是因为一些地方政府官员没有充分利用红色旅游资源,导致红色旅游发展存在一些问题,所以接下来要讲的应该是要采取一定的措施来解决这些问题,以促进红色旅游的进一步发展。故选C项。
D
People’s voices frighten wildlife even more than the snarls (低吼) of lions, suggesting that we are the scariest animals. Giraffes, elephants, and more than a dozen other species of animals in a South African wildlife reserve ran away from loudspeakers twice as often when they heard the sounds of humans compared with those of lions, found by a study led by Michael Clinchy at the University of Western Ontario in Canada.
“This is a protected area, so these animals should not be fearful of us,” he says. “But whether you’re a wildlife tourist, or a poacher (盗猎者), or whatever, you’re all going to be seen as the same thing. The presence of the human is equally dangerous, regardless of what type of human you are.”
Clinchy and his colleagues had already discovered that the fear of predators (捕食者) can cause species to decline in number. Wanting to find out which was the most feared, the team decided to test humans against lions often seen as the world’s most fearsome predator on land, says Clinchy.
They set up loudspeakers and cameras on trees 10 meters away from animal paths near 21 waterholes in Greater Kruger National Park, South Africa, which hosts one of the largest remaining lion populations in the world. When animals approached the waterholes, the speakers immediately played back one of four kinds of recordings, all at the same volume. These included men and women speaking calmly in local languages, lions snarling, gun shots with or without barking dogs and the calls of regional birds.
The researchers captured 15,000 videos of 19 species of animals reacting to their recordings. They found that wildlife except lions ran around in response to human voices more than to any other sounds, and were also 40 percent quicker to escape.
The findings highlight the damaging impact that our presence could potentially be having significant ecological (生态的) results. Even so, the findings could lead to positive outcomes as well. Human voices might prevent wildlife from entering crop fields or farms.
12. Why are some animals fearful of human beings?
A. Human beings are the strongest.
B. Human beings make them out of water.
C. Human beings may have caused great damage.
D. Human beings can make the loudest voice in the world.
13. What can be inferred about Greater Kruger National Park?
A. There are many lions there.
B. There are 21 waterholes there.
C. It is easy to set up loudspeakers there.
D. It is easy to record the local people’s activities.
14. Which animal responded to human voices least?
A. Elephants. B. Giraffes. C. Lions. D. Dogs.
15. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
A. The advantages of human voices to animals.
B. The damaging impact of human presence.
C. The significant ecological results of human voices.
D. The impact and possible application of human voices.
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了科学家的一项研究:野生动物其实更害怕人类的声音。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的“But whether you’re a wildlife tourist, or a poacher (盗猎者), or whatever, you’re all going to be seen as the same thing. The presence of the human is equally dangerous, regardless of what type of human you are.(但无论你是野生动物游客,还是偷猎者,或者其他什么人,你都会被视为同样的东西。人类的存在同样危险,不管你是什么类型的人)”可知,不管你是什么类型的人——观看野生动物的游客、盗猎者或其他什么人,在野生动物眼里,你都是一样的——人类的存在对它们来说都是一样的危险,因此可以推断出,动物们曾经被人类伤害过,给它们带来过危险,所以它们才会非常恐惧人类。故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段第一句中的“They set up loudspeakers and cameras on trees 10 meters away from animal paths near 21 waterholes in Greater Kruger National Park, South Africa, which hosts one of the largest remaining lion populations in the world.(他们在距离南非大克鲁格国家公园21个水坑附近的动物通道10米远的树上安装了扬声器和摄像头,这里是世界上现存狮子数量最多的国家之一)”可知,南非大克鲁格国家公园是世界上现存狮子数量最多的地方之一,即那里有很多的狮子。故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段第二句“They found that wildlife except lions ran around in response to human voices more than to any other sounds, and were also 40 percent quicker to escape.(他们发现,除了狮子之外,野生动物对人类声音的反应比其他任何声音都要快,而且逃跑的速度也快40%)”可知,他们发现除了狮子之外,野生动物对人类声音的反应比其他任何声音都要快。故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段内容“The findings highlight the damaging impact that our presence could potentially be having significant ecological (生态的) results. Even so, the findings could lead to positive outcomes as well. Human voices might prevent wildlife from entering crop fields or farms.(这些发现强调了我们的存在可能会产生重大生态结果的破坏性影响。即便如此,这些发现也可能带来积极的结果。人类的声音可能会阻止野生动物进入农田或农场)”可知,这些发现强调了我们的存在可能会产生重大的破坏性的生态后果;同时,这些发现也可能带来积极的结果,人类的声音可能会阻止野生动物进入农田或农场,即最后一段讲述的是人类的声音所带来的影响和可能的应用。故选D。

Embracing the Print Media
With the rapid advancement in information technology, students’ passion for the print media is gradually fading. While electronic devices are occupying most of our leisure time with exploding information, hardly can we see someone burying themselves in newspaper, magazines or books.
However, what the print media could bring to us is literally beyond imagination. Not only does it provide information which features better credibility compared with that online, but also it is an irreplaceable way for in-depth reading and thinking where correct perception could be formed and innovation capability could be cultivated.
Therefore, let’s devote more time to the print media. Whether to read newspaper, subscribe to some magazines or emerge yourself in a world-renowned novel, just embrace the print media.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
A man came home from work late again, tired and irritated (不耐烦的), only to find his 5-year-old son waiting for him at the door.
“Daddy, may I ask you a question?”
“Yeah, sure, what is it?” replied the man.
“Daddy, how much do you make an hour?”
“That’s none of your business. Why do you ask such a thing?” the man said angrily.
“I just want to know. Please tell me. How much do you make an hour?” pleaded the little boy.
“If you must know, I make $ 20 an hour.”
“Oh,” the little boy replied, with his head down. Looking up, he said, “Daddy, may I please borrow $ 10?”
The father was angry, “If the only reason you asked that is that you can borrow some money to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think about why you are being so selfish. I work hard every day for such childish behavior. ” The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door. The man sat down and started to get even angrier about the little boy’s questions. “How dare he ask such questions only to get some money?” he thought to himself. After about an hour or so, the man calmed down, and started to think: Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that $ 10 and he really didn’t ask for money very often. The man went to the door of the little boy’s room and opened the door. “Are you asleep, son?” he asked.
“No, daddy, I’m awake,” replied the boy.
“I’ve been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier,” said the man. “It has been a long day and I took out my anger on you. Here’s the $ 10 you asked for.”
The little boy sat straight up, smiling. “Oh. Thank you, daddy!” he yelled. Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled (皱巴巴的) bills.
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。
The man, seeing that the boy already had so much money, started to get angry again.

After hearing what the boy said, the father felt so sorry for what he had said to his son.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】参考范文:
The man, seeing that the boy already had so much money started to get angry again. “How can you be so selfish? Why do you want more money since you have already had these bills?” The father could hardly hold his anger back and inquired with two eyebrows knitted into one. Holding back tears in his eyes, the little boy slowly and carefully counted out his money, and then looked up at his father, replying with big blue eyes shining with tears, “Because I didn’t have enough before, but now I do.” Wiping away his tears and with an innocent smile appearing on his face, the boy requested in a relieved voice, “Daddy, I have $ 20 now. Can I buy an hour from you? Please come home early tomorrow. I want to have dinner with you.”
After hearing what the boy said, the father felt so sorry for what he had said to his son. With tears filling his eyes, he gave a deep hug to the son. In the past few years, he was always engaged in work and never spent a single weekend with his son. This $ 20 is just a short reminder to all of us working so hard for our living. Don’t let time slip through our fingers without having spent some quality time with those who really matter to us.

Two years ago, as my then-9-year-old son, George, and I were preparing for a mom-son ski trip to Keystone, Colorado, I came up with a rule: We would say yes to everything that comes our way.
George is a picky eater and can be unwilling to try new things. According to him, it’s because he has fears, including heights, spiders and the dark. I was hoping to find a solution. So I borrowed the idea of a Yes Day, inspired by a movie I watched. Before the trip, George and I agreed we would say yes to everything, especially new ones.
Settled at our hotel, I took George to meet his snowboarding instructor. Though he had basic lessons in Connecticut, this was his first time on a larger mountain. While he learned, I skied by myself, choosing an easy green run on the first day. Inspired by George’s bravery on the chairlift (升降机) , I challenged myself to ski a more demanding blue run the next day. It was steep, but with careful turns, I made it down in one piece, feeling proud of conquering a new challenge.
Later that afternoon, when George and I were reunited, he asked if we could go in the outdoor hot tub (浴池). Mind you, it was a 20-degree day, and the only thing I hate more than being cold is being cold and wet! When I started to refuse, George reminded me of the rule.
Yes, it was cold, and yes, I was wet. But it was also refreshing to feel the cold air on my skin, and the warm water of the hot tub felt that much better once we got in. Getting out was a different story, but the experience was a delight as George and I braved it together.
Developing a sense of adventure helps us live life to the fullest — even if you sometimes wind up cold and wet.
4. Why did the writer start a “Yes Day” rule?
A To conquer George’s ski fears.
B. To master new snowboarding skills.
C. To encourage George to try new things.
D. To win in snowboarding competitions.
5. Which of the following best describes George?
A. Confident. B. Courageous. C. Positive. D. Responsible.
6. What can we learn about the writer from paragraph 4&5?
A She was eager to go in the outdoor hot tub.
B. She regretted breaking the rule with George.
C. She felt much better when she got out of the tub.
D She found it rewarding to brave the experience.
7. What is a suitable title for the text?
A. Welcoming Yes: A Family Adventure
B. Family Ski Trip: Mountain Memories
C. Ski Challenges: Winter Wonders
D. Braving Winter: Family Unity

“Red tourism”, a new form of travel where people visit important historical sites and monuments (纪念碑). It has improved the development of the tourism industry in summer. And red tourism becomes more popular during the National Day Golden Week holiday.
Ticket bookings for red tourism sites in June increased by five times with local and short trips to red tourism sites being the choice of about 88 percent of such tourists. And the search for the term “red tourism” on Mafengwo, a Chinese travel service and social-networking platform (平台), increased by 300 percent during the summer holidays.
Red tourism is not only about the joy of visiting a new place and enjoying the wonderful sights. It is also about gaining knowledge about history and being inspired by the stories of the people who gave their lives to the founding of the People’s Republic in 1949 and worked for the happiness of the Chinese people. By rediscovering history and passing on the stories of the Chinese revolution (革命) and its heroes to the next generations, people can lift their spirits.
Red tourism can also be used as an opportunity to develop rural (农村的) areas because most of the red tourism sites are in the countryside. It can raise the incomes (收入) of local people. Since red tourism creates jobs and helps increase farmers’ incomes, it contributes to local economic development.
Data show that this year, there are about 2 billion tourists visiting red tourism sites, and its market size nearly reaches 1 trillion. Yet red tourism faces some developmental problems, mainly because some local government officials have failed to make the best use of red tourism resources for local development.
8. What can we know about red tourism?
A. It is not popular with the young. B. It has brought life to tourism.
C. It is a traditional form of tourism. D. It is about visiting beautiful scenery.
9. Why does the author list the numbers in paragraph 2?
A. To raise concern. B. To prove his idea.
C. To explain the story. D. To introduce a platform.
10. What is the advantage of red tourism for rural areas?
A. Local people can make more money.
B. It can help improve farming equipment.
C. It can offer job opportunities to visitors.
D Local people can receive much help from society.
11. What will be mentioned in the following paragraphs?
A. More and more people will choose red tourism.
B. Many travel companies will benefit from red tourism.
C. Some measures should be taken to solve problems.
D. More red tourism sites should be open to the public.
D
People’s voices frighten wildlife even more than the snarls (低吼) of lions, suggesting that we are the scariest animals. Giraffes, elephants, and more than a dozen other species of animals in a South African wildlife reserve ran away from loudspeakers twice as often when they heard the sounds of humans compared with those of lions, found by a study led by Michael Clinchy at the University of Western Ontario in Canada.
“This is a protected area, so these animals should not be fearful of us,” he says. “But whether you’re a wildlife tourist, or a poacher (盗猎者), or whatever, you’re all going to be seen as the same thing. The presence of the human is equally dangerous, regardless of what type of human you are.”
Clinchy and his colleagues had already discovered that the fear of predators (捕食者) can cause species to decline in number. Wanting to find out which was the most feared, the team decided to test humans against lions often seen as the world’s most fearsome predator on land, says Clinchy.
They set up loudspeakers and cameras on trees 10 meters away from animal paths near 21 waterholes in Greater Kruger National Park, South Africa, which hosts one of the largest remaining lion populations in the world. When animals approached the waterholes, the speakers immediately played back one of four kinds of recordings, all at the same volume. These included men and women speaking calmly in local languages, lions snarling, gun shots with or without barking dogs and the calls of regional birds.

A man came home from work late again, tired and irritated (不耐烦的), only to find his 5-year-old son waiting for him at the door.
“Daddy, may I ask you a question?”
“Yeah, sure, what is it?” replied the man.
“Daddy, how much do you make an hour?”
“That’s none of your business. Why do you ask such a thing?” the man said angrily.
“I just want to know. Please tell me. How much do you make an hour?” pleaded the little boy.
“If you must know, I make $ 20 an hour.”
“Oh,” the little boy replied, with his head down. Looking up, he said, “Daddy, may I please borrow $ 10?”
The father was angry, “If the only reason you asked that is that you can borrow some money to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think about why you are being so selfish. I work hard every day for such childish behavior. ” The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door. The man sat down and started to get even angrier about the little boy’s questions. “How dare he ask such questions only to get some money?” he thought to himself. After about an hour or so, the man calmed down, and started to think: Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that $ 10 and he really didn’t ask for money very often. The man went to the door of the little boy’s room and opened the door. “Are you asleep, son?” he asked.
“No, daddy, I’m awake,” replied the boy.
“I’ve been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier,” said the man. “It has been a long day and I took out my anger on you. Here’s the $ 10 you asked for.”
The little boy sat straight up, smiling. “Oh. Thank you, daddy!” he yelled. Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled (皱巴巴的) bills.
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。
The man, seeing that the boy already had so much money, started to get angry again.
