Top Four Cities in Africa for a Great Vacation
Addis Ababa Ethiopia
Getting around: Taxis are fine; walking is better.
Though Ethiopian food is familiar to a lot of people, on the streets of Addis, it’s all about coffee. Social life in Addis is built on its preparation and consumption. It’s a chance to sit down among a mostly local crowd and order a coffee.
Lusaka, Zambia
Getting around: Taxis are affordable.
This city is known for Victoria Falls. Small shops are lit at night, and they sell everything from newspapers to soft drinks. On the way, there is the outdoor Mingling Bar, where customers can enjoy a can of Original American Cola.
Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire
Getting around: Taxis are cheap.
Abidjan’s 5 million people are spread out across four areas. When night falls, Yopougon is worth heading to. The roads are dusty in the part of Abidjan, but like many cities where living spaces are small, Abidjan lives its life on its streets. Just to the east of Yopougon is the Plateau, the business area. This area’s modernist building is great and mostly the result of a cocoa-and coffee-based economic development in the 1950s and 1960s.
Dakar, Senegal
Getting around: Taxis are plentiful.
Possibly the best thing about Dakar is its beach restaurants: special collections of tables and chairs where customers are served the freshly caught fish. Servers will often offer to run out to a nearby corner store to buy beer and bring it to the table.
1. Where is Victoria Falls?
A. In Abidjan. B. In Addis Ababa. C. In Lusaka. D. In Dakar.
2. What contributes most to the Plateau’s modernist building?
A. Art. B. Coffee business. C. History. D. Population.
3. What is special about the beach restaurants in Dakar?
A. They are self-service. B. They are all about coffee.
C. They serve freshly caught fish. D. They offer free Original American Cola.

When I was nine years old, I loved to go fishing with my dad. But the only thing that wasn’t very fun about it was that he could catch many fish while I couldn’t catch anything. I usually got pretty upset and kept asking him why. He always answered, “Son, if you want to catch a fish, you have to think like a fish.” I remember being even more upset then because, “I’m not a fish!” I didn’t know how to think like a fish. Besides, I reasoned, how could what I think influence what a fish does?
As I got a little older I began to understand what my dad really meant. So, I read some books on fish. And I even joined the local fishing club and started attending the monthly meetings. I learned that a fish is a cold-blooded animal and therefore is very sensitive to water temperature. That is why fish prefer shallow water to deep water because the former is warmer. Besides, water is usually warmer in direct sunlight than in the shade. Yet, fish don’t have any eyelids (眼皮) and the sun hurts their eyes... The more I understood fish, the more I became effective at finding and catching them
When I grew up and entered the business world, I remember hearing my first boss say, “We all need to think like salespeople.” But it didn’t completely make sense. My dad never once said, “If you want to catch a fish you need to think like a fisherman.” What he said was, “You need to think like a fish.” Years later, with great efforts to promote long-term services to people much older and richer than me, I gradually learned what we all need is to think more like customers. It is not an easy job. I will show you how in the following chapters.
4. What did the author’s father really mean?
A. To read about fish B. To learn fishing by oneself
C. To understand what fish think D. To study fishing in many ways
5. According to the author, fish are most likely to be found _________.
A. in deep water on sunny days B. in deep water on cloudy days
C. in shallow water under sunlight D. in shallow water under waterside trees
6. After entering the business world, the author found _________.
A. it easy to think like a customer B. his father’s fishing advice inspiring
C. his first boss’s sales ideas reasonable D. it difficult to sell services to poor people
7. This passage most likely comes from _________.
A. a fishing guide B. a popular sales book
C. a novel on childhood D. a millionaire’s biography
C
Most people in their eighties would consider themselves lucky not to have health problems, but this is not the case with Toshisuke Kanazawa. The 82-year-old Japanese bodybuilder is not only in perfect physical condition, he also looks better than a lot of men a quarter his age.
Kanazawa is living proof (证明)that you’re never too old to hit the gym and achieve the body you’ve always dreamed of. A champion bodybuilder in his youth, Kanazawa stopped exercising completely after he retired at age 34, drinking, smoking and eating whatever he liked. It wasn’t until he turned 50 that he got his motivation to regain the perfect body of his younger years.
Kanazawa’s wife felt sick frequently, and the former bodybuilder remembered that she had never been happier than when he won the national championship. So to please her he decided to return to the gym and completely change his diet.
His workout schedule had to be adjusted to his age as well. In his youth, he would spend up to six hours training in the gym every day, and his body would recover within two days after a particularly intensive(强化的) workout, but that was not the case anymore. He cut the daily gym time to three hours and started giving his body one week to recover after exercising every muscle group.
Kanazawa’s efforts paid off. In 2016, at the age of 80, Kanazawa defeated many opponents and placed sixth in the world in a contest for bodybuilders over 65, and won the admiration of the crowd.
Sport keeps this elderly man healthy, as he claims not to have suffered so much as a cold since he started bodybuilding again at age 50.
“I want to be a super old man in the bodybuilder community,” Kanazawa said, “If I have a goal, I can continue moving forward. I have to work much harder.”
8. What can we learn about Kanazawa from Paragraph 2?
A. He started bodybuilding at the age of 34.
B. He seldom exercised when he was young
C. He had serious health problems in his childhood.
D. He developed an unhealthy lifestyle after he retired.
9. Why did Kanazawa decide to take up exercise again?
A. To help change his diet. B. To cheer up his wife.
C. To stand to his promise. D. To recover from illness.
10. What did old Kanazawa do while rebuilding his body?
A He took the same workout schedule. B. He combined relaxation with exercise.
C. He turned to the doctors for advice. D. He spent over six hours training every day.
11. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Understanding: A Guarantee of Happiness B. Champion: The Result of Workout
C. Exercise: The Best Medicine for Illnesses D. Bodybuilding: No Age Limit
D
Imagine a school where students are taught by the best teachers in every subject, regardless of location. Imagine a school where students could go on safe field trips to the Amazon rainforest or Everest base camp. Well, such schools are already being built: in virtual(虚拟的)reality.
Last year, Optima Academy Online, an all-virtual school, delivered courses that aim to improve the hearts and train the minds of young people. These courses are of different levels, attracting 170 full-time students from all over Florida. In the progress of home-schooling, students use headsets for about three hours a day for formal lessons and then do course work independently with digital check-ins.
Future versions(版本)of VR will doubtless be widely used in education, but the only questions are: for what purpose and at what speed? There are enough reasons to doubt whether VR schools represent the future of education. Sticking a child in their bedroom with a heavy VR headset fastened to their face and no physical social interaction with other kids will fill many of them and their parents with horror.
A recent report concluded that digital education could significantly improve the quality and equality of schooling systems. But if managed poorly, it could have the opposite effect, turning a digital divide into an educational one. There is growing evidence to suggest that is happening. In Mexico, only 24 percent of 15-year-old students in poor schools have access(使用)to a home computer for schoolwork compared with 87 percent in rich ones.
Used properly, technology can be great for enabling self-motivated students to access learning resources and connect with fellow students and teachers all over the world, says Beeban Kidron, a member of the UK’s Digital Futures Commission. The trouble is that Edtech is too often seen as a shiny new toy that will solve all problems and save money rather than being viewed as a different way to learn, she adds.
12. What can we learn about Optima Academy Online?
A. It has been widely accepted.
B. It holds faraway outdoor field trips.
C. It provides various online courses.
D. It requires parents to help with check-ins.
13. What does paragraph 3 focus on about VR in education?
A. The development. B. The concerns.
C. The advantages. D. The popularity.
14. Students in Mexico are mentioned to show________.
A. Mexican schooling quality has been improved
B. local schooling systems are not fully developed
C. technology access gaps may cause education inequality
D. family backgrounds shape people’s views on education
15. What does Beeban Kidron think of digital education?
A. It enriches learning. B. It’s irreplaceable.
C. It needs improving. D. It’s undervalued.

A Cold Winter Evening
On a cold winter evening, Li Ming walked home with heavy steps, his heart heavy with the news of failing an important exam at school. His father was sitting in the living room, reading the newspaper, while his mother was busy in the kitchen preparing dinner. Afraid to face their disappointed looks, yet knowing he should be honest, Li Ming hesitated. Just then, his mother called him to help set the table.
As they sat down for dinner, the atmosphere was tense. Li Ming’s father asked about his day, and Li Ming knew he couldn’t avoid the topic any longer. “Dad, Mom, I have something to tell you,” he said, his voice trembling. “I failed the exam.” The room fell silent. His father’s face turned strict, and his mother looked worried. “How could this happen?” his father demanded. “You’ve been studying so hard.”
Li Ming felt a wave of shame and frustration. He tried to explain, but his words were chaotic (混乱的). “I… I don’t know. I thought I was prepared, but it was really difficult.” His mother put a hand on his arm, trying to comfort him. “We need to figure out what went wrong and how we can help you improve,” she said, her tone softer than his father’s.

【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议的文章,主要讲述了作者小时候同父亲钓鱼,父亲给作者一些钓鱼的建议,这些建议给后来从事销售工作的作者一些启示。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“He always answered, “Son, if you want to catch a fish, you have to think like a fish.”(他总是回答说:“孩子,如果你想钓到鱼,你就得像鱼一样思考。”)”和第二段“The more I understood fish, the more I became effective at finding and catching them(我对鱼了解得越多,就越能有效地找到并钓到它们)” 可推知,父亲的意思是要理解鱼的想法,像鱼一样思考。故选 C。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“I learned that a fish is a cold - blooded animal and therefore is very sensitive to water temperature. That is why fish prefer shallow water to deep water because the former is warmer. Besides, water is usually warmer in direct sunlight than in the shade. Yet, fish don't have any eyelids (眼皮) and the sun hurts their eyes(我了解到鱼是冷血动物,因此对水温非常敏感。这就是为什么鱼喜欢浅水而不是深水,因为浅水更温暖。此外,阳光直射下的水通常比阴凉处的水更温暖。然而,鱼没有眼皮,阳光会伤害它们的眼睛)” 可推知,鱼会在水边树下的浅水中,因为那里既温暖又能避免阳光直射。故选 D。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“I gradually learned what we all need is to think more like customers(我逐渐明白,我们都需要的是更多地像客户一样思考)”可知,这与父亲在第一段所说的“you have to think like a fish(你得像鱼一样思考)”相似。由此可推知,进入商界后,笔者发现他父亲的关于钓鱼的建议是有启发性的,故选B。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“It is not an easy job. I will show you how in the following chapters.(这不是一件容易的工作。我将在接下来的章节中告诉你如何做)”可推知,本文可能来自一本畅销书。故选B。
C
Most people in their eighties would consider themselves lucky not to have health problems, but this is not the case with Toshisuke Kanazawa. The 82-year-old Japanese bodybuilder is not only in perfect physical condition, he also looks better than a lot of men a quarter his age.
Kanazawa is living proof (证明)that you’re never too old to hit the gym and achieve the body you’ve always dreamed of. A champion bodybuilder in his youth, Kanazawa stopped exercising completely after he retired at age 34, drinking, smoking and eating whatever he liked. It wasn’t until he turned 50 that he got his motivation to regain the perfect body of his younger years.
Kanazawa’s wife felt sick frequently, and the former bodybuilder remembered that she had never been happier than when he won the national championship. So to please her he decided to return to the gym and completely change his diet.
His workout schedule had to be adjusted to his age as well. In his youth, he would spend up to six hours training in the gym every day, and his body would recover within two days after a particularly intensive(强化的) workout, but that was not the case anymore. He cut the daily gym time to three hours and started giving his body one week to recover after exercising every muscle group.
Kanazawa’s efforts paid off. In 2016, at the age of 80, Kanazawa defeated many opponents and placed sixth in the world in a contest for bodybuilders over 65, and won the admiration of the crowd.
Sport keeps this elderly man healthy, as he claims not to have suffered so much as a cold since he started bodybuilding again at age 50.
“I want to be a super old man in the bodybuilder community,” Kanazawa said, “If I have a goal, I can continue moving forward. I have to work much harder.”
8. What can we learn about Kanazawa from Paragraph 2?
A. He started bodybuilding at the age of 34.
B. He seldom exercised when he was young
C. He had serious health problems in his childhood.
D. He developed an unhealthy lifestyle after he retired.
9. Why did Kanazawa decide to take up exercise again?
A. To help change his diet. B. To cheer up his wife.
C. To stand to his promise. D. To recover from illness.
10. What did old Kanazawa do while rebuilding his body?
A. He took the same workout schedule. B. He combined relaxation with exercise.
C. He turned to the doctors for advice. D. He spent over six hours training every day.
11. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Understanding: A Guarantee of Happiness B. Champion: The Result of Workout
C. Exercise: The Best Medicine for Illnesses D. Bodybuilding: No Age Limit
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要说明了82岁的Toshisuke Kanazawa为了取悦妻子,重新回到了健身房,彻底改变他的饮食习惯。2016年,80岁高龄的Kanazawa在65岁以上的健美运动员比赛中击败了众多对手,获得了世界第六名,赢得了众人的钦佩。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“A champion bodybuilder in his youth, Kanazawa stopped exercising completely after he retired at age 34, drinking, smoking and eating whatever he liked.(Kanazawa在年轻时曾是健美冠军,但在34岁退休后,他完全停止了锻炼,开始喝酒、抽烟,想吃什么就吃什么)”可知,Kanazawa退休后养成了不健康的生活方式。故选D。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“So to please her, he decided to return to the gym and completely change his diet.(所以为了取悦她,他决定回到健身房,彻底改变他的饮食习惯)”可知,Kanazawa决定重新开始锻炼是为了使他的妻子高兴起来。故选B。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第四段“He cut the daily gym time to three hours and started giving his body one week to recover after exercising every muscle group.(他将每天的健身时间减少到3小时,并开始在锻炼完所有肌肉群后给身体一周的时间来恢复)”可知,Kanazawa在重建他的身体时把放松和锻炼结合起来。故选B。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Most people in their eighties would consider themselves lucky not to have health problems, but this is not the case with Toshisuke Kanazawa. The 82-year-old Japanese bodybuilder is not only in perfect physical condition, he also looks better than a lot of men a quarter his age.(大多数80多岁的人会认为自己没有健康问题是幸运的,但Toshisuke Kanazawa却不是这样。这位82岁的日本健美运动员不仅拥有完美的身体状况,而且看起来比许多年龄只有他四分之一的男性还要好)”结合文章主要说明了82岁的Toshisuke Kanazawa为了取悦妻子,重新回到了健身房,彻底改变他的饮食习惯。2016年,80岁高龄的Kanazawa在65岁以上的健美运动员比赛中击败了众多对手,获得了世界第六名,赢得了众人的钦佩。可知,D选项“健身:没有年龄限制”最符合文章标题。故选D。
D
Imagine a school where students are taught by the best teachers in every subject, regardless of location. Imagine a school where students could go on safe field trips to the Amazon rainforest or Everest base camp. Well, such schools are already being built: in virtual(虚拟的)reality.
Last year, Optima Academy Online, an all-virtual school, delivered courses that aim to improve the hearts and train the minds of young people. These courses are of different levels, attracting 170 full-time students from all over Florida. In the progress of home-schooling, students use headsets for about three hours a day for formal lessons and then do course work independently with digital check-ins.
Future versions(版本)of VR will doubtless be widely used in education, but the only questions are: for what purpose and at what speed? There are enough reasons to doubt whether VR schools represent the future of education. Sticking a child in their bedroom with a heavy VR headset fastened to their face and no physical social interaction with other kids will fill many of them and their parents with horror.
A recent report concluded that digital education could significantly improve the quality and equality of schooling systems. But if managed poorly, it could have the opposite effect, turning a digital divide into an educational one. There is growing evidence to suggest that is happening. In Mexico, only 24 percent of 15-year-old students in poor schools have access(使用)to a home computer for schoolwork compared with 87 percent in rich ones.
Used properly, technology can be great for enabling self-motivated students to access learning resources and connect with fellow students and teachers all over the world, says Beeban Kidron, a member of the UK’s Digital Futures Commission. The trouble is that Edtech is too often seen as a shiny new toy that will solve all problems and save money rather than being viewed as a different way to learn, she adds.
12. What can we learn about Optima Academy Online?
A. It has been widely accepted.
B. It holds faraway outdoor field trips.
C. It provides various online courses.
D. It requires parents to help with check-ins.
13. What does paragraph 3 focus on about VR in education?
A. The development. B. The concerns.
C. The advantages. D. The popularity.
14. Students in Mexico are mentioned to show________.
A. Mexican schooling quality has been improved
B. local schooling systems are not fully developed
C. technology access gaps may cause education inequality
D. family backgrounds shape people’s views on education
15. What does Beeban Kidron think of digital education?
A. It enriches learning. B. It’s irreplaceable.
C. It needs improving. D. It’s undervalued.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍虚拟现实在教学中的应用。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第二段“Last year, Optima Academy Online, an all-virtual school, delivered courses that aim to improve the hearts and train the minds of young people. These courses are of different levels, attracting 170 full-time students from all over Florida. (去年,Optima Academy Online,一所全虚拟的学校,提供了旨在改善年轻人心灵和训练他们心智的课程。这些课程层次不同,吸引了来自佛罗里达州各地的170名全日制学生。)”可知,Optima Academy Online提供各种层次不同的在线课程。故选C项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第三段“Future versions(版本)of VR will doubtless be widely used in education, but the only questions are: for what purpose and at what speed? There are enough reasons to doubt whether VR schools represent the future of education. Sticking a child in their bedroom with a heavy VR headset fastened to their face and no physical social interaction with other kids will fill many of them and their parents with horror.(毫无疑问,未来版本的VR将在教育中广泛使用,但唯一的问题是:出于什么目的,以什么速度?有足够的理由怀疑虚拟现实学校是否代表了教育的未来。把一个孩子戴在脸上的重型VR耳机粘在卧室里,不与其他孩子进行身体社交,这会让他们中的许多人和父母感到恐惧。)”可知,本段主要就虚拟现实在教学中的应用可能存在的问题表示担忧。故选B项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第四段“But if managed poorly, it could have the opposite effect, turning a digital divide into an educational one. There is growing evidence to suggest that is happening. In Mexico, only 24 percent of 15-year-old students in poor schools have access(使用)to a home computer for schoolwork compared with 87 percent in rich ones.(但如果管理不善,可能会产生相反的效果,将数字鸿沟变成教育鸿沟。越来越多的证据表明这种情况正在发生。在墨西哥,贫困学校中只有24%的15岁学生能够使用家用电脑完成学业,而富裕学校中这一比例为87%。)”可知,墨西哥学生被提及是为了表明技术获取差距可能导致教育不平等。故选C项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。由文章最后一段“Used properly, technology can be great for enabling self-motivated students to access learning resources and connect with fellow students and teachers all over the world, says Beeban Kidron, a member of the UK’s Digital Futures Commission. (英国数字未来委员会成员Beeban Kidron表示,如果使用得当,技术可以很好地让有上进心的学生获得学习资源,并与世界各地的同学和老师建立联系。)”可知,Beeban Kidron认为数字教育丰富学习,使教育多元化。故选A项。

A Cold Winter Evening
On a cold winter evening, Li Ming walked home with heavy steps, his heart heavy with the news of failing an important exam at school. His father was sitting in the living room, reading the newspaper, while his mother was busy in the kitchen preparing dinner. Afraid to face their disappointed looks, yet knowing he should be honest, Li Ming hesitated. Just then, his mother called him to help set the table.
As they sat down for dinner, the atmosphere was tense. Li Ming’s father asked about his day, and Li Ming knew he couldn’t avoid the topic any longer. “Dad, Mom, I have something to tell you,” he said, his voice trembling. “I failed the exam.” The room fell silent. His father’s face turned strict, and his mother looked worried. “How could this happen?” his father demanded. “You’ve been studying so hard.”
Li Ming felt a wave of shame and frustration. He tried to explain, but his words were chaotic (混乱的). “I… I don’t know. I thought I was prepared, but it was really difficult.” His mother put a hand on his arm, trying to comfort him. “We need to figure out what went wrong and how we can help you improve,” she said, her tone softer than his father’s.
