Compared with hotels, hostels (旅社) are more economical, which have gradually become the first choice for young people. This is the only guide you need for memorable hostels.
Boston Homestel
This is a great option for travelling families of three. The private rooms are especially designed for small families. There are a total of 20 rooms here, including dorms. Make use of the fully- equipped kitchen and lovely garden in the summer. There is also nearby free parking.
The Chicago Hotel
The Chicago Hotel is a hotel-hostel mix, and this is evident by the stylish spaces and decoration. Enjoy an on-site cafe and a games room. Choose between single-bed rooms, dorms and multi-bed apartments for families or groups. It even has its own kitchen!
HI Seattle
HI Seattle is near the city’s main sports stadiums, so it’s a great choice if you’re planning to catch a game. Yet there are many more reasons to stay here, especially if you like a no-frills (不提供多余服务) atmosphere. There’s a games room with football, and a great kitchen to help you save coins.
The Bivvi Hostel
For the outdoor enthusiasts looking for adventures in the Rocky Mountains, the Bivvi Hostel is the only hostel you’re going to need. In the summer time, join one of the many fun activities including white-water rafting and hiking. Come winter, sit by the fire and fill up on the generous free breakfast- -it includes eggs, pancakes and fresh fruit! A games room and a kitchen are available for guests’ use as well.

I woke at 4 a.m. in a pitch-black hostel room, my eight roommates all still sound asleep at the early hour. I stepped outside without being noticed, forced a cheese roll into my mouth, and headed to the Kaikoura dolphin-watching tour office.
With more adrenaline (肾上腺素) than I had jumping out of a plane, I put on my flippers (脚蹼) quickly and got ready for the adventure. The moment I dove off the water, I was shocked awake. No amount of coffee, tea, or sugar has ever given me such a strong wake-up. It turns out that the ocean is freezing at 5 a.m. before the sunrise. Don’t be scared off by the temperature, though, because 5 a.m. is when the dolphins are most playful!
After a little while, I was face to face with a wild dusky dolphin! At one moment, it jumped up high into the air while the next it dove deep into the water. It made strange whale noises to draw the attention of more members of the group, including a tiny baby dolphin no bigger than a cat. What impressed me most was that the baby dolphin came close up, swam around playfully and kept looking at me with those black glassy eyes, seeming most interested in this strange fish-like creature that kept getting twisted (缠绕) in her own flippers.
The sun rose, warming my back as I continued to struggle with my flippers among the most elegant animals in the ocean. It was the most beautiful sight, as the dark blue of the ocean turned light greenish-blue, brightening our swimming companions for the early hours of the morning.
The practice of swimming with wild dolphins is banned in the North Island, where the species of Hector’s dolphins are in decline. But in Kaikoura, the practice is quite common and actually helping to increase the dolphin populations.
By supporting this adventurous experience, you’re supporting dolphin conservation.
( )34. Why was I shocked awake when diving off the water?
A. Adrenaline went up.
B. The water was freezing cold.
C. I had drunk a lot of strong coffee.
D. I was surprised by the playful dolphins.
( )35. What problem did I have under the water?
A. I had difficulty handling my flippers.
B. A wild dolphin kept jumping beside me.
C. My strange appearance scared dolphins.
D. The baby dolphin swam around playfully.
( )36. How did I find my dolphin-watching?
A. Dangerous but exciting. B. Impressive and meaningful.
C. Scary but unforgettable. D. Adventurous and tiring.
37. What is the best title for the passage?
A. A Deep Dive into the Ocean.

Sometimes people come into your life and you know at once that they were sure to be there. They serve some certain purpose, teach you a lesson or help find out who you are or who you want to become. You never know who these people may be: your classmate, neighbor, teacher, long-lost friend or even a real stranger. But you know that every moment they will influence your life in some serious way.
Sometimes things happen to you. At the time they may seem terrible, painful and unfair. But later you realize that without overcoming those difficulties, you would have never realized your further ability and advantages. Everything happens for a reason and nothing happens by chance or with good or bad luck.
The people you meet influence your life, and the success and failure you experience create who you are. Even the bad experience can be learned from. In fact, they are probably the most poignant and important ones.
Enjoy every day even every moment and take from it everything that you possibly can, for you may never be able to experience it again. Talk to people whom you have never talked to before, and really listen. You should set your goals high, hold your head up, tell yourself you are a great one and believe in yourself.
You can make your life anything you wish. Create your own life and then go out and live it.
( )38. The people we meet ______
A. all know where to find us
B. serve us on no purpose
C. won't become our neighbor
D. will change us in some way
( )39. The underlined word "poignant" in the passage means "______" in Chinese.
A. 平淡的 B. 明显的 C. 深刻的 D. 艰苦的
( )40. The writer's advice is that we should ______
A. never talk to strange people
B. learn as much as we can each day
C. overcome difficulties painfully
D. not believe in ourselves but others
( )41. Which is the best title for the passage?
A. Create Your Own Life B. Hold Your Head Up
C. People You Meet in Life D. Things Happen to You
D
Sleeping in a noisy room isn’t only distracting (使人分心的), and it can also harm your health. Although researchers have known for decades that longterm loud noises can harm us, it’s only recently become recognized as a widespread problem.
In a new review of previously published studies, researchers from Germany and Denmark took a look at the ways in which noises, such as an airplane passing by or jackhammer digging in the ground, can affect our hearts. Perhaps the most obvious impact of a loud sound while you are sleeping is that it can wake you up. But, even if you don't remember hearing the noise or you don’t physically get out of bed, it can disrupt you in ways you may not realize.
“Noise is not just causing annoyance, but it actually makes us sick,” said Dr. Thomas Münzel, a professor at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz. “Regardless of where the sound is coming from, if it gets louder than 60 decibels (分贝),it can increase the risk of heart disease.”
When our body hears these noises, it reacts with a stress reaction. In this case, these sudden and unexpected noises cause hormones(荷尔蒙) to speed up and eventually damage the heart. Although the chance that a single noise will affect you is unlikely, it’s the continuous exposure (接触) to the sound that can finally affect you.
“But our heart health isn’t the only cause for concern. Long-term noise may also raise the risk of type 2 diabetes (糖尿病), depression, and anxiety disorders,” he warns. In the future, Münzel plans to examine how noises from cars, planes, and other vehicles affect the brain. But despite the amount or the depth of research he conducts, it’ll take the help of politicians to improve the effect of noise on our health.
“Politicians have to take into account, in particular, the new findings,” Münzel said, “As for aircraft noise and airports, it is important to make new laws and set new lower noise limits that protect people living close by the airport instead of the owners of the airport.”
( )42. What do researchers from Germany and Denmark find?
A. Noise does little harm to people who are asleep.
B. Noise can cause people’s memory to get worse sharply.
C. Noise has been a widespread concern for a long time.
D. Noise louder than 60 decibels may cause heart disease.
( )43. Which word can replace the underlined word “disrupt” in Paragraph 2?
A. Defeat. B. Harm. C. Attract. D. Discourage.
( )44. What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?
A. Politicians should take action to handle noise pollution.
B. Münzel will continue other studies on brain diseases.
C. Benefits of airport owners are more important than health.
D. Attention should be paid to heart health and other diseases.
( )45. Which can be the best title for the text?
A. Who Is to Blame for Noise Pollution
B. What Should Be Done to Stop Noise
C. How Münzel Carried Out His Research
D. How Noise Pollution Harms Our Body

Sometimes people come into your life and you know at once that they were sure to be there. They serve some certain purpose, teach you a lesson or help find out who you are or who you want to become. You never know who these people may be: your classmate, neighbor, teacher, long-lost friend or even a real stranger. But you know that every moment they will influence your life in some serious way.
Sometimes things happen to you. At the time they may seem terrible, painful and unfair. But later you realize that without overcoming those difficulties, you would have never realized your further ability and advantages. Everything happens for a reason and nothing happens by chance or with good or bad luck.
The people you meet influence your life, and the success and failure you experience create who you are. Even the bad experience can be learned from. In fact, they are probably the most poignant and important ones.
Enjoy every day even every moment and take from it everything that you possibly can, for you may never be able to experience it again. Talk to people whom you have never talked to before, and really listen. You should set your goals high, hold your head up, tell yourself you are a great one and believe in yourself.
You can make your life anything you wish. Create your own life and then go out and live it.

Sleeping in a noisy room isn’t only distracting (使人分心的), and it can also harm your health. Although researchers have known for decades that longterm loud noises can harm us, it’s only recently become recognized as a widespread problem.
In a new review of previously published studies, researchers from Germany and Denmark took a look at the ways in which noises, such as an airplane passing by or jackhammer digging in the ground, can affect our hearts. Perhaps the most obvious impact of a loud sound while you are sleeping is that it can wake you up. But, even if you don't remember hearing the noise or you don’t physically get out of bed, it can disrupt you in ways you may not realize.
“Noise is not just causing annoyance, but it actually makes us sick,” said Dr. Thomas Münzel, a professor at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz. “Regardless of where the sound is coming from, if it gets louder than 60 decibels (分贝),it can increase the risk of heart disease.”
When our body hears these noises, it reacts with a stress reaction. In this case, these sudden and unexpected noises cause hormones(荷尔蒙) to speed up and eventually damage the heart. Although the chance that a single noise will affect you is unlikely, it’s the continuous exposure (接触) to the sound that can finally affect you.
“But our heart health isn’t the only cause for concern. Long-term noise may also raise the risk of type 2 diabetes (糖尿病), depression, and anxiety disorders,” he warns. In the future, Münzel plans to examine how noises from cars, planes, and other vehicles affect the brain. But despite the amount or the depth of research he conducts, it’ll take the help of politicians to improve the effect of noise on our health.
“Politicians have to take into account, in particular, the new findings,” Münzel said, “As for aircraft noise and airports, it is important to make new laws and set new lower noise limits that protect people living close by the airport instead of the owners of the airport.”
( )42. What do researchers from Germany and Denmark find?
A. Noise does little harm to people who are asleep.
B. Noise can cause people’s memory to get worse sharply.
C. Noise has been a widespread concern for a long time.
D. Noise louder than 60 decibels may cause heart disease.
( )43. Which word can replace the underlined word “disrupt” in Paragraph 2?
A. Defeat. B. Harm. C. Attract. D. Discourage.
( )44. What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?
A. Politicians should take action to handle noise pollution.
B. Münzel will continue other studies on brain diseases.
C. Benefits of airport owners are more important than health.
D. Attention should be paid to heart health and other diseases.
( )45. Which can be the best title for the text?
A. Who Is to Blame for Noise Pollution
B. What Should Be Done to Stop Noise
C. How Münzel Carried Out His Research
D. How Noise Pollution Harms Our Body
【答案】42. D 43. B 44. A 45. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了德国和丹麦的研究人员研究噪声对人们健康产生的影响,呼吁政治家们关注噪声污染并采取措施解决噪声污染。
【42题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“Regardless of where the sound is coming from, if it gets louder than 60 decibels (分贝), it can increase the risk of heart disease. (不管声音来自哪里,如果声音超过60分贝,就会增加患心脏病的风险)”可知,超过60分贝的噪音可能导致心脏病。故选D。
43题详解】
词句猜测题。根据前一句“Perhaps the most obvious impact of a loud sound while you are sleeping is that it can wake you up.(也许在你睡觉时,噪音最明显的影响是它能把你吵醒)”和划线单词所在句“But, even if you don't remember hearing the noise or you don’t physically get out of bed, it can disrupt you in ways you may not realize.(但是,即使你不记得听到了噪音,或者你没有从床上起来,它也会以你没有意识到的方式disrupt你)”可知,划线单词“disrupt”的意思是伤害,此处指以你觉察不到的方式伤害到你。故选B。
【44题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Politicians have to take into account, in particular, the new findings (政治家们必须特别考虑新发现)”和“As for aircraft noise and airports, it is important to make new laws and set new lower noise limits that protect people living close by the airport instead of the owners of the airport.(关于飞机噪音和机场,重要的是制定新的法律和设置新的低噪音限制,以保护住在机场附近的人们,而不是机场的所有者)”可推知,政治家应该采取行动处理噪音污染。故选A。
【45题详解】
主旨大意题。阅读文章内容,并根据第一段“Sleeping in a noisy room isn't only distracting (使人分心的), and it can also harm your health.(在嘈杂的房间里睡觉不仅会让人分心,还会损害你的健康)”和第二段“In a new review of previously published studies, researchers from Germany and Denmark took a look at the ways in which noises, such as an airplane passing by or jackhammer digging in the ground can affect our hearts.(在一篇对之前发表的研究的最新综述中,来自德国和丹麦的研究人员研究了飞机飞过或钻地时发出的声音对我们心脏的影响)”可知,本文着重讲述了德国和丹麦的研究人员对于噪声如何影响人们的心脏进行了研究。听见噪声的时候,我们的身体会产生应激反应。在这种情况下,出乎意料的噪声会导致荷尔蒙分泌加快,最终损害心脏。由此可知,选项D. How Noise Pollution Harms Our Body(噪音污染如何危害我们的身体)适合作本文最佳标题。故选D。

The public speaking skills I developed in your class will undoubtedly benefit me in university and beyond.
