Ⅰ.阅读理解
A Singaporean woman will return to normal life today after spending three days in a glass box. 26yearold Cheyenne Lu has been living in full view of the public on a busy shopping street in an effort to quit smoking.
Lu,who has been smoking for the last 12 years, knows how difficult it is to quit. Her previous efforts all failed because she didn't tell her family and friends that she was trying to give up. So this time she has made her decision very public.The experiment was organized by the Health Promotion Board ( HPB ) as part of an effort to encourage young Singaporean women not to smoke. There has been a large increase in the number of women smokers in recent years.
Lu has been eating and sleeping in a glass room for the last three days, with an Internet connection and a collection of DVDs to help her pass the time. Besides, she has been having yoga classes with a fitness trainer. Lu, who is a writer, has been keeping an online blog of her experiences in the glass house.
Lu says she has received a lot of encouragement from people passing by. However,some people have tried to make it more difficult by stopping in front of her window and smoking.One stranger even offered to give her $500 to smoke with him. “Surprisingly, it made me want to stop smoking even more,”said Lu.
Although Lu has tried not to smoke for three days, she knows this is only the beginning of her smokefree journey.But she has something to look forward to. She is a supporter of Arsenal Football Club, and she plans to use all the money she saves by not smoking to travel to London.
1.Why was Lu living in a glass box?
A.She needed more public support.

[语篇解读] 本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了一个26岁的女孩是如何在大庭广众之下的玻璃房里戒烟的。
1.B [细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Her previous efforts all failed...So this time she has made her decision very public.”可知,她以前私下里一个人戒烟一直没有成功,所以她希望这次在大庭广众之下可以戒烟成功。故选B。]
2.A [细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Lu,who is a writer,has been keeping an online blog of her experiences in the glass house.”可知,把自己在玻璃房里戒烟的经历发到网上是卢要做的事情之一。故选A。]
3.D [推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Surprisingly,it made me want to stop smoking even more”可知,卢看见别人在她面前吸烟后更加坚定了自己戒烟的信念。故选D。]
Ⅱ.阅读填句
If you like exploring the wilderness,you should read the following suggestions from search and rescue rangers(搜救队)in the national parks. __1__
Before you head out on a hike, check the weather, take plenty of water, and make sure someone knows where you'll be and when you'll be back. Bring clothes to keep you warm when wet, like a waterproof jacket. Avoid cotton, which traps damp. __2__ Take basic precaution, such as waterproof matches, a folding saw, a good knife, a firstaid kit, a flash light, and batteries.
The minute you think you might get lost, stop. __3__ And you should stay calm and think rationally (理性地). If you are not alone, focusing on the needs of others can help hold your own fears at bay. Keeping a sense of humor can help, too; it reduces stress and promotes creative thinking.
In general, people who try to find their own way out are far worse than those who stay put (待在原地). __4__ In a wideopen area, make a signal with colorful gear, make a big X out of rock, or dig a shallow trench, which are easy to spot from above.
You can go several days without eating, so in most cases,you'd better not search for food, since there are lots of poisonous plants in the wild. But you need to stay hydrated (含水的). __5__ If you are lost in your car, stay there: You are more visible to rescuers. And the car provides shelter.
A.Stay visible so anyone searching can see you.
B.First, you've got to acknowledge you're in trouble.
C.And you have no idea where to go.
D.The search and rescue people call it death clothes.
E.First of all find a shelter and stay in it in order to keep dry.
F.These suggestions may keep you alive in emergencies.
G.If you run out of water,it's usually better to drink from a stream with suspect water than to go without.
[语篇解读] 在野外迷路了怎么办?本文给出一些建议,如出发前带上够的水、发现迷路了要立刻停下来等。
1.F [由上文提到的“you should read the following suggestions”可知,F项中的These suggestions与此语意承接,故为答案。]
2.D [前面讲不要穿纯棉衣服,下文应该说明不穿纯棉衣服的原因,D项“搜救人员称它为死亡之衣”符合语境。]
3.B [根据下文“And you should stay calm and think rationally.”可知,空格处表达的应该是遇到麻烦了,B项符合语境。]
4.A [根据前文讲待在原处,后文讲站在显眼处、做记号等可知,A项符合语境。]
5.G [根据前文“But you need to stay hydrated.”可知,stay hydrated和run out of water相对应,所以选G项。]
