Phil White has just returned from an 18,000-mile, around-the-world bicycle trip. White had two reasons for making this epic journey. First of all, he wanted to use the trip to raise money for charity, which he did. He raised $70,000 for the British charity, Oxfam. White's second reason for making the trip was to break the world record and become the fastest person to cycle around the world. He is still waiting to find out if he has broken the record or not.
White set off from Trafalgar Square, in London, on 19th June 2004 and was back 299 days later. He spent more than l,300 hours in the saddle(车座)and destroyed four sets of tyres and three bike chains. He had the adventure of his life crossing Europe, the Middle East, India, Asia, Australia, New Zealand and the Americas. Amazingly, he did all of this with absolutely no support team. No jeep carrying food, water and medicine. No doctor. Nothing! Just a bike and a very, very long road.
The journey was lonely and desperate at times. He also had to fight his way across deserts, through jungles and over mountains. He cycled through heavy rains and temperatures of up to 45 degrees, all to help people in need. There were other dangers along the road. In Iran, he was chased by armed robbers and was lucky to escape with his life and the little money he had. The worst thing that happened to him was having to cycle into a headwind on a road that crosses the south of Australia. For 1,000 kilometres he battled against the wind that was constantly pushing him. This part of the trip was slow, hard work and depressing, but he made it in the end. Now Mr. White is back and intends to write a book about his adventures.
4. When Phil White returned from his trip, he________.
A. broke the world record B. destroyed several bikes
C. collected money for Oxfam D. travelled about 1,300 hours
5. What does the word "epic" in Paragraph l most probably mean?
A. Very long and difficult. B. Very slow but exciting.
C. Very smooth but tiring. D. Very lonely and depressing.
6. During his journey around the world, Phil White _______.
A. fought heroically against robbers in Iran
B. experienced the extremes of heat and cold
C. had a team of people who travelled with him
D. managed to ride against the wind in Australia
7. Which of the following words can best describe Phil White?

【答案】4. C 5. A 6. D 7. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲了Phil White进行环球自行车旅行,一方面是为慈善筹集资金,另一方面为了破记录成为世界上最快的人。

【5题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第二段Just a bike and a very, very long road.和第三段The journey was lonely and desperate at times.可知White had two reasons for making this epic journey.的意思是White踏上这段漫长而又艰难的旅程有两个原因。"epic"的意思是漫长而又艰难的,故选A。

Edmund Halley was an English scientist who lived over 200 years ago He studied the observations of comets which other scientists had made. The orbit of one particular comet was a very difficult mathematical problem. He could not figure it out. Neither could other scientists who dealt with such problems.
However, Halley had a friend named Newton, who was a brilliant mathematician. Newton thought he had already worked out that problem, but he could not find the papers on which he had done it. He told Halley that the orbit of a comet had the shape of an ellipse.
Now Halley set to work. He figured out the orbits of some of the comets that had been observed by scientists. He made a surprising discovery. The comets that had appeared in the years 1531 1607, and 1682 all had the same orbit. Yet their appearances had been 75 to 76 years apart.
This seemed very strange to Halley. The different comets followed the same orbit. The more Halley thought about it, the more he thought that there had not been three different comets, as people thought. He decided that they had simply seen the same comet three times. The comet had gone away and had come back again.
It was an astonishing idea! Halley felt certain enough to make a prediction of what comet would happen in the future. He decided that this comet would appear in the year 1758. There were 53 years to go before Halley’s prediction could be tested. In 1758 the comet appeared in the sky. Halley did not see it, for he had died some years before. Ever since then that comet has been called Halley’s comet, in his honor.
8. Halley made his discovery ________.
A. by doing experiments B. by means of his own careful observation
C. by using the work of other scientists D. by chance
9. Halley made a surprising,but correct prediction in the year ________.
A. 1704 B. 1705 C. 1706 D. 1707
10. This passage in general is about ________.
A. Halley and other scientists B. the orbit of a comet
C. Newton and Halley D. Halley and his discovery
11. What can we know from the text?
A. Edmund Halley was an American scientist. B. Halley made his discovery by doing experiments.
C. Newton was a famous mathematician. D. The orbit of a comet had the shape of a circle.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. C
【解析】
【分析】本文为说明文。文章介绍了哈雷和他的发现哈雷彗星,以及发现验证哈雷彗星的过程。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“He studied the observations of comets which other scientists had made.(他研究了其他科学家对彗星的观测结果)”可知,哈雷的发现是在研究其他科学家的观察中得出的,故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中“He decided that this comet would appear in the year 1758. There were 53 years to go before Halley’s prediction could be tested.(他断定这颗彗星将于1758年出现。距离哈雷的预言被验证还有53年的时间)”可知,哈雷做出这个预言的时间是1705年。故选B。
【10题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章的主要内容,尤其第一段中“Edmund Halley was an English scientist who lived over 200 years ago. He studied the observations of comets which other scientists had made. The orbit of one particular comet was a very difficult mathematical problem.(Edmund Halley是一位生活在200多年前的英国科学家。他研究了其他科学家对彗星的观测结果。某一颗彗星的轨道是一个非常困难的数学问题)”可知,文章主要介绍哈雷及他的发现,另外也可以从文章的首尾句看出本文的主旨大意。故选D。

Fascinating Venice
Located in the northeast of Italy, Venice is well-known for its cultural treasures, romantic atmosphere and unusual living-on-water experience. The city spreads out over 118 islands, which are linked by more than 400 bridges, in the Venetian Lagoon.
Venice’s historical center consists of six regions. Italy in the south, the busiest main regions, are linked by the Rialto Bridge. The famous stone arch bridge (拱桥) crosses Venice’s main waterway — the Grand Canal. When night falls, many tourists enjoy dinner at the outside tables by the Grand Canal while watching colorfully lit boats going by.
Near the end of the S-shaped Grand Canal lies St. Mark’s Basilica, a must-see. Inside, beautiful mosaics (镶嵌图案) tell stories of Bible figures. Nearby are the Doge’s Palace and the Bridge of Sighs. These were made famous by Lord Byron, “I stood in Venice on the Bridge of Sighs, a palace and prison on each hand.” The story has it that if a couple passes under the bridge, their love will last forever.
In the square outside the Basilica, lovers of literature can sit at Caffe Florian, regarded as the oldest coffee house in Europe. Charles Dickens, Henry James as well as Lord Byron enjoyed the aromatic (芳香的) drink here.
Art lovers should buy a museum pass and visit some of the city’s museums. They can view works by Venetian masters like Giovanni, Titian and Tintoretto.
On five small islands in the Venetian Lagoon, Murano has been home to glass-makers since 1291. Tourists can visit factories, studios and the Glass Museum. Glass artists produce everything from simple souvenir pieces to beautiful works of contemporary art. Only glassworks made using traditional methods on Murano can be called Murano Glass. The nearby island of Burano is famous for lace (蕾丝 )making and colorful houses. Looking at the colorful houses and kaleidoscopic (万花筒似的) streets makes people feel as if they were walking in the fairy tale.
The City of Water promises beauty of all kinds, and it definitely lives up to its promise.
12. Why does the author mention Lord Byron’s words?
A. To introduce the famous British poet.
B. To explain why the two places are famous.
C. To show why St. Mark’s Basilica is a must-see.
D. To compare the Doge’s Palace and the Bridge of Sighs.
13. Where should you go in Venice if you love art?
A. Caffe Florian. B. The city’s museums.
C. St. Mark’s Basilica. D. The Bridge of Sighs.
14. What is Murano well-known for?
A. Bridges. B. Lace making.
C Glassworks. D. Colorful houses.
15. How does the author think of Murano Glass?
A. It’s simple. B. It’s too traditional.
C. It’s colorful. D. It’s very special.
【答案】12. B 13. B 14. C 15. D

【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第五段的Art lovers should buy a museum pass and visit some of the city’s museums.(艺术爱好者应该买一张博物馆入场券,参观一些城市的博物馆)可知,如果你热爱艺术,应该去威尼斯的城市博物馆。故选B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第六段的On five small islands in the Venetian Lagoon, Murano has been home to glass-makers since 1291.(在威尼斯泻湖的五个小岛上,自1291年以来,慕拉诺一直是玻璃制造商的家)及该段对于慕拉诺的描述中不难看出,笔墨集中于该地的玻璃。由此可知,慕拉诺是以玻璃制品而著名。故选C。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第六段的Only glassworks made using traditional methods on Murano can be called Murano Glass.(只有用传统方法在穆拉诺上制作的玻璃作品才能被称为穆拉诺玻璃)可知,此处的Only表达了穆拉诺玻璃的特殊性,因此作者认为穆拉诺玻璃非常特别.故选D。

Whether they are big or small, everyone has dreams. Perhaps you have dreams which you have yet to realize. I certainly do. One reason why dreams never come true is that we don't have a system in place to work towards them. Start working towards your goal today. Here are some steps to help you realize your dream:
★Identify (确认) your dream.
List what your dream would look like. ____16____ If your dream is to create a new moon, you may be disappointed, but don't be afraid, either. If your dream is to be an author, that's a dream you can achieve, but it may not be realistic to write the next The Purpose Driven Life.
★____17____
Write down action steps you can take towards your goal. Sticking with the idea of being an author, perhaps you could start with a blog. Then move to outline chapters. You might set aside a few hours a week to actually write the book. Record realistic dates to complete each step.
★Take a risk.
If you really want to succeed, you must be willing to risk failure. ____18____ The ones who achieve their dreams are the ones who are willing to take the risk.
★Stay consistent(一致的).
If you want to achieve your dream, you will have to keep at the task, even during the hard time. ____19____ These are how habits are developed. Many give up too soon, often just before the turning point towards success comes.
★Get started.
The longer you wait, the less likely you are to begin. ____20____
A. Make an action plan.
B. Clearly, it needs to be available.
C. Push yourself to complete scheduled action steps.
D. Facing challenges, most of us work harder.

Push yourself to complete scheduled action steps.(强迫自己完成计划好的行动步骤),其中“complete scheduled action steps”衔接上文“Stay consistent”以及“keep at the task”。故选C。
【20题详解】

Mom’s Decision to Spend More Time with Son
One sunny afternoon, young Timmy sat on the front steps of their cozy house, his chin (下巴) resting on his hands, eyes fixed on the street. His friends were playing in the park across the road, their laughter filling the air, but Timmy didn’t join them. He was waiting for his mom to come home.
Timmy’s mom, Mrs. Thompson, was a hard-working real estate agent (房地产经纪人). She was constantly on the go, showing houses to clients, attending meetings, and working late into the night. Most days, Timmy only saw her in the early morning rush before school or briefly in the evening when she was too tired to do much more than give him a quick hug.
That day, when Mrs. Thompson finally pulled up in her car, she noticed Timmy’s sad expression. As she got out of the car, Timmy ran up to her, his eyes lighting up for a moment. “Mom, can we play a game today? Like we used to?” he asked hopefully. Mrs. Thompson looked at her watch and sighed. “Not today, honey. I have so much work to do. Maybe tomorrow.” Timmy’s shoulders slumped, and he quietly walked back to the steps.
That evening, as Mrs. Thompson sat at her desk, going through piles of paperwork, she couldn’t get Timmy’s disappointed face out of her mind. She realized that she had been so focused on her career that she was missing out on her son’s childhood. After much thought, she made a decision. She would take some time off work to be with Timmy.
The next morning, Mrs. Thompson called her boss and explained the situation. To her relief, her boss was understanding and gave her a week off. She then went to Timmy’s room with a big smile on her face.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题纸相应位置作答。
She said, “Timmy, I’m going to take a whole week off work, just for us!”
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
However, just as they were playing, Mrs. Thompson’s phone rang.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 She said, “Timmy, I’m going to take a whole week off work, just for us!” Timmy’s eyes widened in surprise and excitement. He jumped out of bed and hugged his mom tightly. “Really, Mom? That’s amazing!” They spent the morning planning all the things they would do together. They decided to go to the zoo first. As they drove to the zoo, Timmy chatted non-stop, his face glowing with happiness. Upon arrival, they rushed towards the panda enclosure, where they watched in awe as the cute pandas munched on bamboo. Timmy laughed out loud when one panda rolled over like a clumsy ball. Mrs. Thompson photographed these precious moments, feeling a sense of contentment she hadn’t experienced in a long time.
However, just as they were playing, Mrs. Thompson’s phone rang. It was one of her most important clients. The client had an urgent question about a house they were interested in buying. Mrs. Thompson hesitated for a moment. Looking at Timmy’s excited face, she made a choice. She silenced her phone and put it back in her bag. She turned to Timmy and said, “Nothing is more important than this time with you, Timmy.” They spent the rest of the day at the zoo, exploring every corner, and even had a picnic lunch on the grass. By the end of the day, both Timmy and Mrs. Thompson were tired but filled with joy.

Phil White has just returned from an 18,000-mile, around-the-world bicycle trip. White had two reasons for making this epic journey. First of all, he wanted to use the trip to raise money for charity, which he did. He raised $70,000 for the British charity, Oxfam. White's second reason for making the trip was to break the world record and become the fastest person to cycle around the world. He is still waiting to find out if he has broken the record or not.
White set off from Trafalgar Square, in London, on 19th June 2004 and was back 299 days later. He spent more than l,300 hours in the saddle(车座)and destroyed four sets of tyres and three bike chains. He had the adventure of his life crossing Europe, the Middle East, India, Asia, Australia, New Zealand and the Americas. Amazingly, he did all of this with absolutely no support team. No jeep carrying food, water and medicine. No doctor. Nothing! Just a bike and a very, very long road.
The journey was lonely and desperate at times. He also had to fight his way across deserts through jungles and over mountains. He cycled through heavy rains and temperatures of up to 45 degrees, all to help people in need. There were other dangers along the road. In Iran, he was chased by armed robbers and was lucky to escape with his life and the little money he had. The worst thing that happened to him was having to cycle into a headwind on a road that crosses the south of Australia. For 1,000 kilometres he battled against the wind that was constantly pushing him. This part of the trip was slow, hard work and depressing, but he made it in the end. Now Mr. White is back and intends to write a book about his adventures.
4. When Phil White returned from his trip, he________.
A. broke the world record B. destroyed several bikes
C. collected money for Oxfam D. travelled about 1,300 hours
5. What does the word "epic" in Paragraph l most probably mean?
A. Very long and difficult. B. Very slow but exciting.
C. Very smooth but tiring. D. Very lonely and depressing.
6. During his journey around the world, Phil White _______.
A. fought heroically against robbers in Iran
B. experienced the extremes of heat and cold
C. had a team of people who travelled with him
D. managed to ride against the wind in Australia
7. Which of the following words can best describe Phil White?

Edmund Halley was an English scientist who lived over 200 years ago. He studied the observations of comets which other scientists had made. The orbit of one particular comet was a very difficult mathematical problem. He could not figure it out. Neither could other scientists who dealt with such problems.
However, Halley had a friend named Newton, who was a brilliant mathematician. Newton thought he had already worked out that problem, but he could not find the papers on which he had done it. He told Halley that the orbit of a comet had the shape of an ellipse.
Now Halley set to work. He figured out the orbits of some of the comets that had been observed by scientists. He made a surprising discovery. The comets that had appeared in the years 1531, 1607, and 1682 all had the same orbit. Yet their appearances had been 75 to 76 years apart.
This seemed very strange to Halley. The different comets followed the same orbit. The more Halley thought about it the more he thought that there had not been three different comets, as people thought. He decided that they had simply seen the same comet three times. The comet had gone away and had come back again.
It was an astonishing idea! Halley felt certain enough to make a prediction of what comet would happen in the future. He decided that this comet would appear in the year 1758. There were 53 years to go before Halley’s prediction could be tested. In 1758 the comet appeared in the sky. Halley did not see it, for he had died some years before. Ever since then that comet has been called Halley’s comet, in his honor.
8. Halley made his discovery ________.
A. by doing experiments B. by means of his own careful observation
C. by using the work of other scientists D. by chance
9. Halley made a surprising,but correct prediction in the year ________.
A. 1704 B. 1705 C. 1706 D. 1707
10. This passage in general is about ________.
A. Halley and other scientists B. the orbit of a comet
C. Newton and Halley D. Halley and his discovery
11. What can we know from the text?
A. Edmund Halley was an American scientist. B. Halley made his discovery by doing experiments.
C. Newton was a famous mathematician. D. The orbit of a comet had the shape of a circle.

Fascinating Venice
Located in the northeast of Italy, Venice is well-known for its cultural treasures, romantic atmosphere and unusual living-on-water experience. The city spreads out over 118 islands, which are linked by more than 400 bridges, in the Venetian Lagoon.
Venice’s historical center consists of six regions. Italy in the south, the busiest main regions, are linked by the Rialto Bridge. The famous stone arch bridge (拱桥) crosses Venice’s main waterway — the Grand Canal. When night falls, many tourists enjoy dinner at the outside tables by the Grand Canal while watching colorfully lit boats going by.
Near the end of the S-shaped Grand Canal lies St. Mark’s Basilica, a must-see. Inside, beautiful mosaics (镶嵌图案) tell stories of Bible figures. Nearby are the Doge’s Palace and the Bridge of Sighs. These were made famous by Lord Byron, “I stood in Venice on the Bridge of Sighs, a palace and prison on each hand.” The story has it that if a couple passes under the bridge, their love will last forever.
In the square outside the Basilica, lovers of literature can sit at Caffe Florian, regarded as the oldest coffee house in Europe. Charles Dickens, Henry James as well as Lord Byron enjoyed the aromatic (芳香的) drink here.
Art lovers should buy a museum pass and visit some of the city’s museums. They can view works by Venetian masters like Giovanni, Titian and Tintoretto.
On five small islands in the Venetian Lagoon, Murano has been home to glass-makers since 1291. Tourists can visit factories, studios and the Glass Museum. Glass artists produce everything from simple souvenir pieces to beautiful works of contemporary art. Only glassworks made using traditional methods on Murano can be called Murano Glass. The nearby island of Burano is famous for lace (蕾丝 )making and colorful houses. Looking at the colorful houses and kaleidoscopic (万花筒似的) streets makes people feel as if they were walking in the fairy tale.
The City of Water promises beauty of all kinds, and it definitely lives up to its promise.
12. Why does the author mention Lord Byron’s words?
A. To introduce the famous British poet.
B. To explain why the two places are famous.
C. To show why St. Mark’s Basilica is a must-see.
D. To compare the Doge’s Palace and the Bridge of Sighs.
13. Where should you go in Venice if you love art?
A. Caffe Florian. B. The city’s museums.
C. St. Mark’s Basilica. D. The Bridge of Sighs.
14. What is Murano well-known for?
A. Bridges. B. Lace making.
C. Glassworks. D. Colorful houses.
15. How does the author think of Murano Glass?
A. It’s simple. B. It’s too traditional.
C. It’s colorful. D. It’s very special.

Whether they are big or small everyone has dreams. Perhaps you have dreams which you have yet to realize. I certainly do.

Write down action steps you can take towards your goal. Sticking with the idea of being an author, perhaps you could start with a blog. Then move to outline chapters. You might set aside a few hours a week to actually write the book. Record realistic dates to complete each step.
★Take a risk.
If you really want to succeed, you must be willing to risk failure. ____18____ The ones who achieve their dreams are the ones who are willing to take the risk.
★Stay consistent(一致的).

Mom’s Decision to Spend More Time with Son
One sunny afternoon, young Timmy sat on the front steps of their cozy house, his chin (下巴) resting on his hands, eyes fixed on the street. His friends were playing in the park across the road, their laughter filling the air, but Timmy didn’t join them. He was waiting for his mom to come home.
Timmy’s mom, Mrs. Thompson, was a hard-working real estate agent (房地产经纪人). She was constantly on the go, showing houses to clients, attending meetings, and working late into the night. Most days, Timmy only saw her in the early morning rush before school or briefly in the evening when she was too tired to do much more than give him a quick hug.
That day, when Mrs. Thompson finally pulled up in her car, she noticed Timmy’s sad expression. As she got out of the car, Timmy ran up to her, his eyes lighting up for a moment. “Mom, can we play a game today? Like we used to?” he asked hopefully. Mrs. Thompson looked at her watch and sighed. “Not today, honey. I have so much work to do. Maybe tomorrow.” Timmy’s shoulders slumped, and he quietly walked back to the steps.
That evening as Mrs. Thompson sat at her desk, going through piles of paperwork, she couldn’t get Timmy’s disappointed face out of her mind. She realized that she had been so focused on her career that she was missing out on her son’s childhood. After much thought, she made a decision. She would take some time off work to be with Timmy.
The next morning, Mrs. Thompson called her boss and explained the situation. To her relief, her boss was understanding and gave her a week off. She then went to Timmy’s room with a big smile on her face.

However, just as they were playing, Mrs. Thompson’s phone rang.
