I had always wanted to visit Africa’s great outdoors. It required a lot of training to get prepared for the safari. The training was boring, but I would suffer anything to go on a safari. And as the coach said, the training was very important. At last, it was time to set out! The flight took 16 hours. I was bored to death, but deep down I still felt excited. When my mom, our guide, two other camping friends and I were driving to our campsite in an old jeep, I was thrilled to pieces. After taking many turns, we finally reached our destination (目的地). It was the day that I had been waiting for for the past three years! We learned many interesting facts on our safari. For example, the giraffe has the most powerful kick of all the animals. The black mamba (树眼镜蛇) can move up to 11 kilometers an hour. I saw some lions trying to avoid the afternoon sun while lying under the shade of trees. I had read many books about wildlife. Aren’t lions, the “King of the Jungle”, very fierce (凶猛的)? We stopped to take a few quick pictures of them. The lions didn’t seem to mind. When I saw how calm they looked, I wondered if all the books I had read had been telling the truth. At night, we had steak, baked potatoes, green beans and many types of fresh fruit I had never even seen before. They were delicious! When we returned home, I felt tired but proud. It was an amazing trip I will never forget! 16．When did the writer feel bored? ①When he was flying to Africa. ②When he was on his way to the campsite. ③When he was attending the training for the safari. ④When he was trying to take a picture of African lions.

A．To show us that not all snakes moved slowly. B．To tell us there were many wild animals in Africa. C．To tell us that it was dangerous to travel in Africa alone. D．To show us that he had learned many interesting facts. 19．What can we learn from the writer’s trip? A．Seeing is believing. B．East or west, home is best. C．Old habits die hard. D．A good book is like a good friend. 【答案】16．B 17．D 18．D 19．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，记录了作者与母亲参加非洲游猎的经历，描述了旅途准备、对野生动物观察以及与书本认知的差异。 16．细节理解题。根据“It required a lot of training to get prepared for the safari.

Via ferrata is a method of rock climbing with ladders, fixed steps and cables allowing non-mountaineers a leg up. No rock climbing experience is necessary to climb 12, 900 feet to the top on this protected climbing course with a guide. Travel with chimpanzees (黑猩猩), Queen Elizabeth National Park, Uganda Many of us started to rethink our relationship to nature. Be like Jane Goodall and go on a journey with endangered chimpanzees in Uganda’s jungle. You will be putting your tourism dollars toward helping protect the animals through a series of protection projects with Jane Goodall Institute. Hike to the Iceland’s erupting volcano (活火山), Iceland In this once-in-life-time trip, you can hike or take a helicopter ride over the Fagradalsfjall volcano eruption in Geldinggadalur, which has been going on since March.

Children are always interested in them, and they want to go there in person. 23 This kind of tour allows parents and children to deepen their understanding of the scenes mentioned in the textbooks. Many families have taken part in the textbook tour. 24 They can understand the cultural background and experience the historical period in the textbooks. For example, in Fuzhou, parents and children can watch lively shows and visit the museums to learn more about the famous writer Tang Xianzu in the Ming Dynasty. In addition, they can learn about the local customs. This further makes their journey colorful. The textbook tour is a connection between “reading thousands of books” and “travelling thousands of miles”. 25 Besides, the textbook tour further increases children’s pride in the motherland. It also helps them learn about the excellent traditional culture of China. The rise of the textbook tour is a great chance for the connection between culture and tourism. For example, the Wenchuan government holds some activities on the birthday of Dayu. 26 This spreads local culture and provides an unforgettable experience for tourists. As the text book tour becomes a new fashion, the government should offer warm services to achieve a win-win situation for both scenic spots and tourists. A．Textbooks can broaden my horizons. B．That’s why the textbook tour has become popular these days. C．They follow the stories in the textbooks and choose places to travel. D．Cultural workers teach “Dayu culture” to tourists in these activities. E．Through the practice, children can have a deeper understanding of the textbooks. 【答案】23．B 24．C 25．E 26．D 【导语】本文主要介绍了教科书旅行的好处及意义。 23．根据“Children are always interested in them, and they want to go there in person”及“This kind of tour allows parents and children to deepen their understanding of the scenes mentioned in the textbooks.”可知，孩子们对于课本中提到的人文古迹和风景名胜很感兴趣，他们想亲自去体验，于是形成了“教科书旅行热”。选项B“这就是为什么这些天教科书之旅变得流行的原因。”符合语境。故选B。 24．根据“Many families have taken part in the textbook tour.”及“For example, in Fuzhou”可知，许多家庭都参加了教科书之旅，他们跟随教科书中的故事选择旅行地点。选项C“他们按照课本上的故事，选择旅行的地方。”符合语境。故选C。 25．根据“Besides, the textbook tour further increases children’s pride in the motherland.”可知，此处介绍教科书旅行给孩子们带来的好处。故选项E“通过实践，孩子们可以对课本有更深入的了解。”符合语境。故选E。 26．根据“For example, the Wenchuan government holds some activities on the birthday of Dayu.”可知，汶川政府在大禹的生日举行一些活动，此处与“大禹”有关。选项D“文化工作者在这些活动中向游客传授‘大禹文化’。”符合语境。故选D。 八、任务型阅读 An island with beautiful white beaches and clear blue water full of colorful fish … this is Socotra. It sounds nice, but it doesn’t sound very unusual, does it? Well, there’s a lot more to Socotra than that. You can see things there that cannot be found anywhere else in the world. Socotra is in the Indian Ocean, 250 kilometers east of Africa and 340 kilometers south of Yemen. The island separated from Africa six million years ago, and over that time it has developed its own unique plant life. If you travel away from the beautiful beaches and up into the rocky mountains in the middle of the island, you may feel like you’re going back in time. Perhaps you’ll see the desert rose, with its pretty pink flowers. The desert rose is a “bottle” tree. It stores water in its fat trunk (树干). Like many of Socotra’s plants, it has developed to survive (幸存) in the island’s hot, dry climate. One of the most unusual plants on Socotra is the “dragon’s blood” tree. It is shaped like an umbrella, with a lot of branches (枝) under a green top. The tree gets its name from the red sap (树液) that comes out when it is cut. This sap has been used for centuries as a medicine and to make red dye and paint. Socotra isn’t an easy place for tourists to visit. To get there, you need to fly from Yemen. There are only a few hotels in its largest town, Hadibo, and the island doesn’t have many good roads. The people there live a very simple life. But more and more visitors are coming to see its natural beauty. 根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。 1．Where is Socotra? A．It is in Hadibo. B．It is 250 kilometers south of Africa. C．It is in the Indian Ocean.

B “Mom, are you ready?” Dad had finally agreed that Mom and I could go on a one-week African safari! I had always wanted to visit Africa’s great outdoors. It required a lot of training to get prepared for the safari. The training was boring, but I would suffer anything to go on a safari. And as the coach said, the training was very important. At last, it was time to set out! The flight took 16 hours. I was bored to death, but deep down I still felt excited. When my mom, our guide, two other camping friends and I were driving to our campsite in an old jeep, I was thrilled to pieces. After taking many turns, we finally reached our destination (目的地). It was the day that I had been waiting for for the past three years! We learned many interesting facts on our safari. For example, the giraffe has the most powerful kick of all the animals. The black mamba (树眼镜蛇) can move up to 11 kilometers an hour. I saw some lions trying to avoid the afternoon sun while lying under the shade of trees. I had read many books about wildlife. Aren’t lions, the “King of the Jungle”, very fierce (凶猛的)? We stopped to take a few quick pictures of them. The lions didn’t seem to mind. When I saw how calm they looked, I wondered if all the books I had read had been telling the truth. At night, we had steak, baked potatoes, green beans and many types of fresh fruit I had never even seen before. They were delicious! When we returned home, I felt tired but proud. It was an amazing trip I will never forget! 16．When did the writer feel bored? ①When he was flying to Africa. ②When he was on his way to the campsite. ③When he was attending the training for the safari. ④When he was trying to take a picture of African lions.

Many families have taken part in the textbook tour. 24 They can understand the cultural background and experience the historical period in the textbooks. For example, in Fuzhou, parents and children can watch lively shows and visit the museums to learn more about the famous writer Tang Xianzu in the Ming Dynasty. In addition, they can learn about the local customs. This further makes their journey colorful.

It sounds nice, but it doesn’t sound very unusual, does it? Well, there’s a lot more to Socotra than that. You can see things there that cannot be found anywhere else in the world. Socotra is in the Indian Ocean, 250 kilometers east of Africa and 340 kilometers south of Yemen. The island separated from Africa six million years ago, and over that time it has developed its own unique plant life. If you travel away from the beautiful beaches and up into the rocky mountains in the middle of the island, you may feel like you’re going back in time. Perhaps you’ll see the desert rose, with its pretty pink flowers. The desert rose is a “bottle” tree. It stores water in its fat trunk (树干). Like many of Socotra’s plants, it has developed to survive (幸存) in the island’s hot, dry climate. One of the most unusual plants on Socotra is the “dragon’s blood” tree. It is shaped like an umbrella, with a lot of branches (枝) under a green top. The tree gets its name from the red sap (树液) that comes out when it is cut. This sap has been used for centuries as a medicine and to make red dye and paint. Socotra isn’t an easy place for tourists to visit. To get there, you need to fly from Yemen. There are only a few hotels in its largest town, Hadibo, and the island doesn’t have many good roads. The people there live a very simple life.
