Passage 2
Have you ever come home from a vacation feeling more tired than you were before you left? Through traveling, most people expect a break from their 1 lives. However, as they rush from one place to another, they aren’t really able to take a good rest.
Now, imagine living for a week in a little French apartment, buying fresh vegetables from the local market every morning, and taking day trips to neighboring villages at your own pace. Does this sound 2 to you? That’s the magic of slow travel. This is no “four-cities-in-seven-days” tour of Europe. Instead, you will truly slow down and experience new cultures.
Slow travel can mean taking a bike tour from one village to the next. It can mean driving along back roads instead of taking the highway. It can also mean covering long distances by train instead of by air so that you can enjoy the 3 along the way. No matter how you do it, the key is to slow down. You are to make the most of each moment of your vacation.
Slow travel has a few advantages. It allows you to form a stronger connection to your destination. You will stay in one place long enough to make friends with your neighbors and even pick your favorite coffeehouse. You will 4 take a break from your stressful life.
Slow travel is environmentally-friendlier than other types of travel. Airplanes cause lots of pollution. Trains, bikes and your own feet are better for the environment. Slow travel also helps 5 money. Staying in one place for a week reduces your transportation costs. 6 , you may cook your own food instead of eating out for every meal.
The next time you are going to take a trip, remember to try it the slow way.
1．A．interesting B．important C．stressful D．satisfying
2．A．boring B．great C．surprising D．awful
3．A．person B．story C．music D．view
4．A．seriously B．hardly C．really D．clearly
5．A．increase B．save C．change D．earn
6．A．Besides B．Instead C．However D．Finally
Passage 3
Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题)
I remember something that happened in my class one day which made me change my mind about how we see history. I was teaching a class of adults of different nationalities and we were reading a text about the inventions of the aeroplane. In the text, it said that the Wright Brothers were the first men to fly. There was a very intelligent and polite Brazilian man in the class, and he said, “Actually, the first flight was made by a Brazilian.” I’m afraid I laughed and said something like: “But everyone knows it was the Wright Brothers.” A couple of days later, the Brazilian man brought in an encyclopedia (百科全书) which said that the first flight was made by a Brazilian. It made me think that history changes according to where you come from.
I had the same feeling again when I read an article in the newspaper which said that there is evidence (证据) that Chinese sailors explored the world before the famous European explorers (探险家) of the 15th and 16th centuries. Experts (专家) have found a map that was drawn in 1763 on bamboo paper. There is some writing on the map which says it was copied by a man called Mo Yitong from a world map drawn in 1418. This evidence suggests that a Chinese called Zheng He had already made important discoveries before the European explorers like Columbus. The map shows the Americas and Africa, but there are also mistakes, which you would expect with the technology available at that time: California is shown as an island and Great Britain, I am sorry to say, is not shown at all!
However, not all experts agree that the map is real. Some experts, including Chinese experts, believe that the map may be a clever forgery (伪造品) by someone who wanted to make a lot of money by selling it. If tests show that the map is real, we will have to change our view of history, especially the history of America. Experts also wonder how the Chinese would have developed America if they had settled there instead of the Europeans. Perhaps we Europeans will have to throw out our history books and write a new one.
1．What’s the writer’s job?
.
2．Who did the Brazilian student think made the first flight?
.
3．What may the evidence tell people according to the article in the newspaper?
.
4．Why would a map that the experts have found be good evidence?
.
5．The map the experts have found finally changed the history of America, didn’t it?
.
6．How can you understand the very last sentence of the passage? What does the writer mean?

Passage 2
Is living on the planet Mars possible for humans? The answer is yes. Some scientists believe people will live on the planet Mars by 2200. Our own planet, Earth, will become more and more crowded and 1 . We won’t have enough space to live and there won’t be any fresh air or water. Good news is that we can start again and build a better world on Mars. Here is what life could be like.
First of all, 2 should be much better. At present, our spaceships are too slow to carry large numbers of people to Mars — it takes months. However, by 2200, spaceships can travel at half the speed of light. It might take us two or three days to get to Mars!
Secondly, humans need food, water and air to live on. Scientists should be able to develop plants that can be grown on Mars. These plants will produce the food and air that we need. 3 , will there be enough fresh water for all of us? There is no answer now.
There is a problem for us to live on Mars. Mars pulls us much less than the Earth does. This will be dangerous because we can easily jump too high and fly slowly away into space. To prevent this, humans on Mars have to wear special shoes to make themselves 4 .
Life on Mars will be better than that on Earth in many ways. People will have more space. Living in a large building with only 10 bedrooms is highly possible. People will have more 5 . With the development of science and technology, robots will do most of our work, so we can take up our hobbies.
In some ways, life on Mars may not be better than that on Earth today. Food will not be the same — meals will probably be in the form (形式) of pills and will not be as delicious as they are today. Also, space travel will make many people feel 6 . The spaceship will travel fast but the journey to Mars will probably be very uncomfortable.
1．A．modern B．changeable C．surprising D．polluted
2．A．weather B．environment C．transport D．resources
3．A．Besides B．However C．Therefore D．Instead
4．A．quicker B．taller C．heavier D．cooler
5．A．money B．work C．exercise D．time
6．A．bored B．excited C．sick D．impatient
Passage 3
Many people like to go diving（潜水）when they are on holiday. Jenney, a 14-year-old girl, is getting ready to have a special dive with sharks in the sea of Florida. It’s really expensive for her to do it. Sounds crazy?
Shark diving is a big business in some places and that’s raising a question about how close people should get to them. Some brave divers think it is no problem for them to get close to sharks. Divers in Florida, for example, often have fun with lemon sharks, which have attacked people a few times before. On the other side, many people are against shark diving. They think no one should go diving with sharks. And it is foolish to feed sharks while diving and bring them close to busy beaches.
Bob Dimond has been a diver for 30 years. He’s worried that sharks may lose their fear of humans. “The reason why people feed sharks is to attract them, but people don’t want to be sharks’ food. However, when sharks learn to connect humans with food, they approach to see if they can find something to eat, Bob says.“ That’s reason enough to stay away from sharks.”
Bob has created the Marine（海洋的）Safety Group. He and his friends believe if people feed a wild animal, they will increase the chance to be attacked. Therefore, their goal is to stop all shark feeding. In fact, shark feeding has never been directly associated with an attack on a human. When a shark strikes, it is usually“hit and run”. It bites and then quickly releases the person and disappears.
Obviously, sharks make shark diving so attractive. For divers such as Jenney, diving with sharks is a once-in-a-life experience. Jenney says,“I actually had a chance to lie down on the bottom of the ocean and the sharks were right in front of me. And I could see their mouths and their eyes and feed them. I used to know only a little about sharks, but now I want more teenagers to join me.”
1．Will Jenney have to pay a lot of money for shark diving?
2．Who might be against shark diving according to the passage?
3．What does the underlined word“them”in paragraph 3 refer to?
4．Why has Bob created the Marine Safety Group?
5．What does Jenney think of her once-in-a-life experience?
6．Do you think sharks will welcome people to their world? Why or why not?

Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题)
Before moving to Xiamen in 1988, the American man William Brown had already lived in over 30 cities around the world. At that time, he had no thought that he would spend the rest of his life in Xiamen and enjoyed his life there so much.
Now as a professor of management at Xiamen University, William has been teaching business studies since 1989.
In 1988, William arrived in Xiamen with his family—his wife and two sons. Xiamen in the 1980s was not a nice place to live in. People burned coal and the air was polluted. Besides, the electricity was awful. William said what made him stay in Xiamen was the people there.
“In the 1980s, Chinese people used food coupons (粮票) to get meat, vegetables and oil.” But foreigners had no such tickets, and we could not use cash, either,” William said. “Many Chinese teachers sold their tickets to me, not to make money, but to offer a little kind help to a foreigner.”
“During such festivals as the Spring Festival and the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Chinese teachers would invite my family to their homes. Even though they were not rich, they shared everything with us. Just once a year later, I decided to live here permanently (永久地).”
Looking back, William said the improvements in Xiamen were great. “I knew the difficult time would pass, but I didn’t expect that the city would improve so fast. The city now has good transportation and wonderful nightlife similar to Las Vegas.”
Over the past years, William has taken his family travelling across China. They are surprised at the variety of China’s natural beauty. But in William’s eyes, nowhere is more beautiful than his hometown in China—Xiamen.
Once, William made a speech in Xiamen Tourism Festival. When he was asked to say something to this city, “________” William said proudly.
1．William Brown moved to Xiamen in 1988, didn’t he?
2．What is William Brown’s job in Xiamen?
3．How could people get meat, vegetables and oil in 1980s China?
4．What made William decide to stay in Xiamen permanently?
5．How is the city Xiamen now in William Brown’s eyes?
6．What can probably be filled in the blank?

Have you ever come home from a vacation feeling more tired than you were before you left? Through traveling, most people expect a break from their 1 lives. However, as they rush from one place to another, they aren’t really able to take a good rest.
Now, imagine living for a week in a little French apartment, buying fresh vegetables from the local market every morning, and taking day trips to neighboring villages at your own pace. Does this sound 2 to you? That’s the magic of slow travel. This is no “four-cities-in-seven-days” tour of Europe. Instead, you will truly slow down and experience new cultures.
Slow travel can mean taking a bike tour from one village to the next. It can mean driving along back roads instead of taking the highway. It can also mean covering long distances by train instead of by air so that you can enjoy the 3 along the way. No matter how you do it, the key is to slow down. You are to make the most of each moment of your vacation.
Slow travel has a few advantages. It allows you to form a stronger connection to your destination. You will stay in one place long enough to make friends with your neighbors and even pick your favorite coffeehouse. You will 4 take a break from your stressful life.
Slow travel is environmentally-friendlier than other types of travel. Airplanes cause lots of pollution. Trains, bikes and your own feet are better for the environment. Slow travel also helps 5 money. Staying in one place for a week reduces your transportation costs. 6 , you may cook your own food instead of eating out for every meal.
The next time you are going to take a trip, remember to try it the slow way.
1．A．interesting B．important C．stressful D．satisfying
2．A．boring B．great C．surprising D．awful
3．A．person B．story C．music D．view
4．A．seriously B．hardly C．really D．clearly
5．A．increase B．save C．change D．earn
6．A．Besides B．Instead C．However D．Finally
【答案】1．C 2．B 3．D 4．C 5．B 6．A
【导语】本文主要讲述了慢旅行的优点。
1．句意：通过旅行，大多数人期望从紧张的生活中解脱出来。
interesting有趣的；important重要的；stressful有压力的；satisfying令人满意的。根据前文“Have you ever come home from a vacation feeling more tired than you were before you left?”及“Through traveling, most people expect a break from their…lives.”可知，前文提到“度假后感到更累”，说明日常生活是“压力大的”。故选C。
2．句意：你觉得这听起来很棒吗？
boring无聊的；great棒极的；surprising令人惊讶的；awful可怕的。根据“Now, imagine living for a week in a little French apartment, buying fresh vegetables from the local market every morning, and taking day trips to neighboring villages at your own pace. Does this sound…to you?”可知，此处指的是前文描述的慢旅行场景，并且作者在推广慢旅行，所以认为它很吸引人。故选B。
3．句意：这也可能意味着乘火车而不是乘飞机进行长途旅行，这样你就可以沿途欣赏风景。
person个人；story故事；music音乐；view风景。根据“It can also mean covering long distances by train instead of by air so that you can enjoy the…along the way.”可知，此处指火车旅行可以欣赏风景。故选D。
4．句意：你真的会从紧张的生活中休息一下。
seriously严肃地；hardly几乎不；really真正地；clearly清晰地。根据“You will…take a break from your stressful life.”可知，此处强调慢旅行能真正让人放松。故选C。
5．句意：慢速旅行也有助于省钱。

6．句意：此外，你可以自己做饭，而不是每餐都出去吃。
Besides除此之外；Instead代替；However然而；Finally最后。根据“Staying in one place for a week reduces your transportation costs…you may cook your own food instead of eating out for every meal.”可知，前文讲节省交通费，这里是补充另一个省钱方式，“Besides”表示添加信息。故选A。
Passage 3
Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题)
I remember something that happened in my class one day which made me change my mind about how we see history. I was teaching a class of adults of different nationalities and we were reading a text about the inventions of the aeroplane. In the text, it said that the Wright Brothers were the first men to fly. There was a very intelligent and polite Brazilian man in the class, and he said, “Actually, the first flight was made by a Brazilian.” I’m afraid I laughed and said something like: “But everyone knows it was the Wright Brothers.” A couple of days later, the Brazilian man brought in an encyclopedia (百科全书) which said that the first flight was made by a Brazilian. It made me think that history changes according to where you come from.
I had the same feeling again when I read an article in the newspaper which said that there is evidence (证据) that Chinese sailors explored the world before the famous European explorers (探险家) of the 15th and 16th centuries. Experts (专家) have found a map that was drawn in 1763 on bamboo paper. There is some writing on the map which says it was copied by a man called Mo Yitong from a world map drawn in 1418. This evidence suggests that a Chinese called Zheng He had already made important discoveries before the European explorers like Columbus. The map shows the Americas and Africa, but there are also mistakes, which you would expect with the technology available at that time: California is shown as an island and Great Britain, I am sorry to say, is not shown at all!
However, not all experts agree that the map is real. Some experts, including Chinese experts, believe that the map may be a clever forgery (伪造品) by someone who wanted to make a lot of money by selling it. If tests show that the map is real, we will have to change our view of history, especially the history of America. Experts also wonder how the Chinese would have developed America if they had settled there instead of the Europeans. Perhaps we Europeans will have to throw out our history books and write a new one.
1．What’s the writer’s job?
.
2．Who did the Brazilian student think made the first flight?
.
3．What may the evidence tell people according to the article in the newspaper?
.
4．Why would a map that the experts have found be good evidence?
.
5．The map the experts have found finally changed the history of America, didn’t it?
.
6．How can you understand the very last sentence of the passage? What does the writer mean?
.
【答案】1．A teacher. 2．A Brazilian. 3．Chinese sailors explored the world before the famous European explorers of the 15th and 16th centuries. 4．Because there is some writing on the map which says it was copied by a man called Mo Yitong from a world map drawn in 1418. This evidence suggests that a Chinese called Zheng He had already made important discoveries before the European explorers like Columbus. 5．No, it didn’t. 6．The last sentence means that if the map is real and Chinese sailors did explore the world before Europeans, then the traditional European-centered view of history will be challenged, and new history books will need to be written to reflect this new understanding.
【导语】本文主要讲述了作者通过课堂上的经历以及阅读报纸文章，对历史认知产生改变的故事。先是课堂上巴西学生称首次飞行是巴西人完成的，后又读到有证据表明中国航海家在欧洲著名探险家之前就探索过世界，还发现了可能证明此观点的地图，但并非所有专家都认同地图的真实性，若地图是真的，人们将不得不改变对历史尤其是美洲历史的看法。
1．根据文中“I was teaching a class of adults of different nationalities”可知，作者正在给不同国籍的成年人上课，所以作者是一名老师。故填A teacher.
2．根据文中“There was a very intelligent and polite Brazilian man in the class and he said: ‘Actually, the first flight was made by a Brazilian.’”可知，巴西学生认为首次飞行是巴西人完成的。故填A Brazilian.
3．根据文中“I read an article in the newspaper which said that there is evidence (证据) that Chinese sailors explored the world before the famous European explorers (探险家) of the 15th and 16th centuries.”可知，根据报纸上的文章，证据表明中国航海家在15世纪和16世纪著名的欧洲探险家之前就探索过世界。故填Chinese sailors explored the world before the famous European explorers of the 15th and 16th centuries.
4．根据文中“Experts (专家) have found a map which was drawn in 1763 on bamboo paper. There is some writing on the map which says it was copied by a man called Mo Yitong from a world map drawn in 1418. This evidence suggests that a Chinese called Zheng He had already made important discoveries before the European explorers like Columbus.”可知，专家发现的地图是1763年绘制的，上面有文字表明它是由一个叫莫亦同的人从1418年绘制的世界地图上复制的，这表明中国航海家郑和在哥伦布等欧洲探险家之前就有了重要发现，所以这张地图能成为很好的证据。故填Because there is some writing on the map which says it was copied by a man called Mo Yitong from a world map drawn in 1418. This evidence suggests that a Chinese called Zheng He had already made important discoveries before the European explorers like Columbus.
5．根据文中“However, not all experts agree that the map is real.”以及“If tests show that the map is real, we will have to change our view of history, especially the history of America.”可知，并非所有专家都认为地图是真的，如果测试表明地图是真的，人们才将不得不改变对历史尤其是美洲历史的看法，所以这张地图最终并没有改变美国的历史。故填No, it didn’t.
6．这是一个开放性问题，答案因人而异。但可以根据文章内容和常识来回答。故填The last sentence means that if the map is real and Chinese sailors did explore the world before Europeans, then the traditional European-centered view of history will be challenged, and new history books will need to be written to reflect this new understanding.

Passage 2
Is living on the planet Mars possible for humans? The answer is yes. Some scientists believe people will live on the planet Mars by 2200. Our own planet, Earth, will become more and more crowded and 1 . We won’t have enough space to live and there won’t be any fresh air or water. Good news is that we can start again and build a better world on Mars. Here is what life could be like.
First of all, 2 should be much better. At present, our spaceships are too slow to carry large numbers of people to Mars — it takes months. However, by 2200, spaceships can travel at half the speed of light. It might take us two or three days to get to Mars!
Secondly, humans need food, water and air to live on. Scientists should be able to develop plants that can be grown on Mars. These plants will produce the food and air that we need. 3 , will there be enough fresh water for all of us? There is no answer now.
There is a problem for us to live on Mars. Mars pulls us much less than the Earth does. This will be dangerous because we can easily jump too high and fly slowly away into space. To prevent this, humans on Mars have to wear special shoes to make themselves 4 .
Life on Mars will be better than that on Earth in many ways. People will have more space. Living in a large building with only 10 bedrooms is highly possible. People will have more 5 . With the development of science and technology, robots will do most of our work, so we can take up our hobbies.
In some ways, life on Mars may not be better than that on Earth today. Food will not be the same — meals will probably be in the form (形式) of pills and will not be as delicious as they are today. Also, space travel will make many people feel 6 . The spaceship will travel fast but the journey to Mars will probably be very uncomfortable.

Passage 3
Many people like to go diving（潜水）when they are on holiday. Jenney, a 14-year-old girl, is getting ready to have a special dive with sharks in the sea of Florida. It’s really expensive for her to do it. Sounds crazy?
Shark diving is a big business in some places and that’s raising a question about how close people should get to them. Some brave divers think it is no problem for them to get close to sharks. Divers in Florida, for example, often have fun with lemon sharks, which have attacked people a few times before. On the other side, many people are against shark diving. They think no one should go diving with sharks. And it is foolish to feed sharks while diving and bring them close to busy beaches.
Bob Dimond has been a diver for 30 years. He’s worried that sharks may lose their fear of humans. “The reason why people feed sharks is to attract them, but people don’t want to be sharks’ food. However, when sharks learn to connect humans with food, they approach to see if they can find something to eat, Bob says.“ That’s reason enough to stay away from sharks.”
Bob has created the Marine（海洋的）Safety Group. He and his friends believe if people feed a wild animal, they will increase the chance to be attacked. Therefore, their goal is to stop all shark feeding. In fact, shark feeding has never been directly associated with an attack on a human. When a shark strikes, it is usually“hit and run”. It bites and then quickly releases the person and disappears.
Obviously, sharks make shark diving so attractive. For divers such as Jenney, diving with sharks is a once-in-a-life experience. Jenney says,“I actually had a chance to lie down on the bottom of the ocean and the sharks were right in front of me. And I could see their mouths and their eyes and feed them. I used to know only a little about sharks, but now I want more teenagers to join me.”
1．Will Jenney have to pay a lot of money for shark diving?
2．Who might be against shark diving according to the passage?
3．What does the underlined word“them”in paragraph 3 refer to?
4．Why has Bob created the Marine Safety Group?
5．What does Jenney think of her once-in-a-life experience?
6．Do you think sharks will welcome people to their world? Why or why not?
【答案】1．Yes, she will. 2．Bob Dimond（and his friends.） 3．Sharks. 4．To stop all shark feeding. 5．She thinks she can know more about sharks than before and she wants more teenagers to join her. 6．No, they don’t. Because people will pollute the environment and hurt them.（Any reasonable answer.）
【分析】短文主要讲述了许多人喜欢去潜水当他们度假，鲨鱼让鲨鱼潜水变得很有吸引力。鲍勃·戴蒙德从事潜水已经30年了。他担心鲨鱼会失去对人类的恐惧。鲍勃·戴蒙德创造了海洋安全组，他们的目标是停止鲨鱼的捕食。
1．根据“Jenney, a 14-year-old girl, is getting ready to have a special dive with sharks in the sea of Florida. It’s really expensive for her to do it.”，可知珍妮要花很多钱做鲨鱼潜水，故填Yes, she will。
2．根据“However, when sharks learn to connect humans with food, they approach to see if they can find something to eat, Bob says.“ That’s reason enough to stay away from sharks.””和“Bob has created the Marine（海洋的）Safety Group. He and his friends believe if people feed a wild animal, they will increase the chance to be attacked. Therefore, their goal is to stop all shark feeding.”，可知，Bob和他的朋友们反对鲨鱼潜水，故填Bob Dimond（and his friends.）。
3．根据“but people don’t want to be sharks’ food.”，可知这里的them指代的是鲨鱼“sharks”，故填Sharks。
4．根据“Bob has created the Marine（海洋的）Safety Group. He and his friends believe if people feed a wild animal, they will increase the chance to be attacked. Therefore, their goal is to stop all shark feeding. ”，可知他们的目标是停止鲨鱼的捕食，故填To stop all shark feeding。
5．根据“Jenney says,“I actually had a chance to lie down on the bottom of the ocean and thesharks were right in front of me. And I could see their mouths and their eyes and feed them. I used to know only a little about sharks, but now I want more teenagers to join me.”，可知她认为她可以比以前更了解鲨鱼，她想要更多的青少年加入她。故填She thinks she can know more about sharks than before and she wants more teenagers to join her。
6．开放性作答，结合实际，言之有理即可，参考答案No, they don’t. Because people will pollute the environment and hurt them。

Passage 3
Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题)
Before moving to Xiamen in 1988, the American man William Brown had already lived in over 30 cities around the world. At that time, he had no thought that he would spend the rest of his life in Xiamen and enjoyed his life there so much.
Now as a professor of management at Xiamen University, William has been teaching business studies since 1989.
In 1988, William arrived in Xiamen with his family—his wife and two sons. Xiamen in the 1980s was not a nice place to live in. People burned coal and the air was polluted. Besides, the electricity was awful. William said what made him stay in Xiamen was the people there.
“In the 1980s, Chinese people used food coupons (粮票) to get meat, vegetables and oil.” But foreigners had no such tickets, and we could not use cash, either,” William said. “Many Chinese teachers sold their tickets to me, not to make money, but to offer a little kind help to a foreigner.”
“During such festivals as the Spring Festival and the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Chinese teachers would invite my family to their homes. Even though they were not rich, they shared everything with us. Just once a year later, I decided to live here permanently (永久地).”
Looking back, William said the improvements in Xiamen were great. “I knew the difficult time would pass, but I didn’t expect that the city would improve so fast. The city now has good transportation and wonderful nightlife similar to Las Vegas.”
Over the past years, William has taken his family travelling across China. They are surprised at the variety of China’s natural beauty. But in William’s eyes, nowhere is more beautiful than his hometown in China—Xiamen.
Once, William made a speech in Xiamen Tourism Festival. When he was asked to say something to this city, “________” William said proudly.
