The World’s Most Striking Tourist Destinations
Adventurers, grab your passports because there’s nothing relaxing about these holiday spots.
Half Dome,Yosemite National Park,USA
The 1500-metre climb to the top of Half Dome is the most difficult of Yosemite Valley’s day hikes, and it’s the last 120 meters that are the most dangerous. While there are ladder-like metal cables (缆绳) to help you reach the summit without rock climbing equipment, falling off them could be deadly.
Cliffs of Moher, Ireland
With breathtaking views of the Aran Islands and Galway Bay, the Cliffs of Moher is one of Ireland’s most popular tourist attractions. However, it’s also one of the most dangerous, and one misstep at the edge could result in a 213-metre fall into the Atlantic. The safest way to experience the beauty of the cliffs is from the official path or one of three viewing platforms.
Mount Everest, Nepal
Visiting Mount Everest attracts around 1200 climbers each year. However, only about half ever reach the summit, and a few will die trying, according to the New York Times. By now, there have been 304 deaths, according to alanarnette.com.
Trift Bridge, Switzerland
Believe it or not, the Trift Bridge in the Swiss Alps Mountains is much safer than it looks. Still, acrophobes (恐高者) will likely want to avoid this dangerous man-made spot. At 90 metres high and 170 metres long, the Trift Bridge is one of the longest and highest pedestrian suspension bridges in the Alps, requiring three cable car rides to reach it.
1. Where can you enjoy the sight of sea?
A. At Half Dome. B. At Cliffs of Moher.
C. At Mount Everest. D. At Trift Bridge.
2. What can we know about Mount Everest?
A. It has three viewing platforms.
B. There are cables helping climbers up.
C. It has claimed at least 300 lives so far.
D. About 600 climbers have ever reached its summit.
3. Which of the following can describe all the four places?
A. They are all natural scenic spots.
B. They are all dangerous scenic spots.
C. Tourists must do much rock climbing in each place.
D. Tourists must use climbing equipment in each place.
B
Most air conditioners and fridges rely on contracting and expanding a liquid to either absorb or release large quantities of heat. While these systems are relatively cheap and simple to produce, they aren’t very efficient and require lots of energy. Besides, many of the coolants used are environmentally harmful.
Now, Emmanuel Defay at the Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology and his colleagues have developed a coolant-free refrigeration device made from the metals lead, scandium (钪) and tantalum (钼). It can reach maximum efficiencies of more than 60%, almost double that of typical single-room air conditioning units. The technology is based on a principle called electrocaloric cooling, in which an electric field applied across a material changes the direction of electric charges, causing a temporary increase in temperature and a succeeding decrease when the electric field is removed.
To make their cooling system, Defay and his colleagues piled up eight strips of the material known as lead scandium tantalate, which is electrocaloric, on top of one another and dipped them in a heat-carrying liquid, silicone oil. When an electric field is switched on and the strips heat up, the liquid moves to the right, and when it cools down, it moves to the left, creating permanent regions of hot and cold of about 20℃difference. These regions can be used as hot and cold reservoirs from which the oil can be circulated through pipes to cool or heat rooms or objects as desired.
“Although the efficiency of the device is theoretically 67%, the efficiency of the current design is around 12%. This could be improved if a better conductor of heat than the lead scandium tantalate were found,” said Defay.
“A highest performance has been achieved by combining known elements,” said NeilMathur at the University of Cambridge. However, he added, the team only looked at the cooling power of the pile of metal strips themselves, while it would be interesting to see how the entire device performs together.
4. What does the author think of the system of traditional air conditioners?
A. Efficient. B. Expensive.
C. Highly energy-consuming. D. Environmentally-friendly.
5. What is the third paragraph mainly about?
A. The aim of Defay and his colleagues. B. The material of the new cooling system.
C. The proposal of Defay and his colleagues. D. The working principle of the new cooling system.
6. What matters in the current efficiency of the device researched by Defay’s team?
A. The extensive experiments. B. The proper equipment.
C. The ideal temperature. D. The appropriate materials.
7. What’s the author likely to talk about next?
A. The performance of the new cooling system. B. The research team’s next arrangement.
C. The sales promotion of the new device. D. Neil Mathur’s comments on the device.
C
Mark Beer, a distinguished actor with over 40 years in the industry, has a lot of firsts to his name: the first disabled children’s presenter on “Playdays” and the first disabled actor to star a TV drama series. Despite these achievements, he understands disabled actors still face various challenges, particularly in landing roles.
Born with 2nd degree Cerebral Palsy and wheelchair-bound, Mark started acting professionally at 17 and won a Bronze Medal at a festival. Later, he studied drama at the City Literary Institute in London. “My love for theatre started in childhood. Performing plays with my brothers in the garden provided an escape from my health issues and confirmed my belief in being any character, not just a child with severe disabilities,” Mark says.
He never views himself as a disabled actor but as one competing for the same roles as others. He acknowledges that if he had considered the barriers, mainly the unfriendly judgement by others, he might have chosen a different career. “Thankfully, things are getting much better for us and the stage entry is no longer a problem for those in wheelchairs!”
While disabled actors are more visible in films and TV, the industry still has a long way to go before it stops simply casting disabled actors as angry, disabled victims. In his own theatre company, Dramaioch Productions, Mark adopts a creative approach by fully casting disabled actors alongside non-disabled ones on stage.
“It’s important we highlight disabilities in the arts to ensure this world doesn’t remain divided,” explains Mark. “By bringing disabilities to the mainstream will hopefully encourage the industry to develop and represent society more accurately. We are casting people with disabilities based on worth, ability and talent.”
8. Why did Mark choose to be an actor?
A. His brothers encouraged him to act.
B. Disabled people were badly treated.
C. He could become famous through acting.
D. Acting helped him forget about his illness.
9. What does Mark think is the major barrier for disabled actors?
A. No wheelchair access. B. Prejudice against them.
C. A lack of competence. D. Their health conditions.
10. Why are disabled actors cast together with non-disabled in Mark’s company?
A. To meet the needs of viewers.
B. To speak up for disabled actors.
C. To promote company growth.
D. To make the play quite unique.
11. Which of the following best describes Mark Beer?
A. Talented and socially responsible.
B. Determined and modest.
C. Open-minded and humorous.
D. Sympathetic and tolerant.
D
Between 1945 and 2000, educators employed a fairly uniform approach. The teacher was the sun in the classroom, and all lessons and activities centered around him or her. Educators stressed the importance of discipline and obedience (服从) within the classroom, and students were expected to follow very rigid (死板的) standards for behavior and academic performance. The stated goal of this model was to ensure fairness by applying the same expectations; however, the result was that only a few students succeeded while many others were left behind.
When computers and Internet technology entered the classroom a few decades ago, another pattern appeared and progressive educators immediately saw the opportunity to change the way school worked. Instead of needing to focus on the teachers for the vast majority of the day, students could use computers, websites, and even games to learn new materials and improve their skills and knowledge. Not all educators welcomed this shift, however, as some believed it took power and responsibility away from the teachers and cheapened the educational experience for learners.
Over the last decade, two distinct camps of educators have emerged. Tech advocates stress that computers and Internet technology allow students to learn at their own pace in an environment that makes them feel comfortable, while the traditional classroom sets a pace that many learners can’t keep up with and often makes students feel uncomfortable. Traditionalists, on the other hand, believe that over-reliance on tech limits students’ ability to develop their own knowledge and skills and does little to prepare them for the realities of being adults in the real world.
Regrettably, the inability of these two parties to find an agreement has prevented the growth of our education system. We must learn from what worked in the past while adopting the best of our new technologies to create an education system that reflects our modern world. If we can’t get all our teachers on the same page, then we will be at risk of failing future generations.
12. Who can probably learn better under the 1945-2000 model of education?
A. Lisa who tends to read by herself. B. Michael who likes to share ideas.
C. Kate who can focus on listening for long. D. Tom who prefers hands-on learning.
13. Why do some educators prefer the second education pattern?
A. It allows for different learning styles. B. It has the same hope for students.
C. It fires students’ enthusiasm for learning. D. It reduces teachers’ level of stress.
14. What message is conveyed in paragraph 3?
A. Two of a trade never agree. B. Everyone thinks in his way.
C. Every potter praises his pot. D. One’s words reflect one’s thinking.
15. What is the author’s understanding of a good education system?
A. It’s full of well-trained subject teachers. B. It’s an accurate mirror of the real world.
C. It’s inclusive and accessible to all students. D. It’s a combination of tradition and modernity.

阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容 (1个单词) 或括号内单词的正确形式。
Have you ever taken off a sweater and — felt a surprising shock? That’s static electricity, the buildup of an electric charge. It occurs when two items rub against each other, and electrons are transferred ___36___ one thing or person to another. If an object has an excess of electrons, it becomes negatively charged. On the other hand, when something has ___37___ lack of electrons, it naturally becomes positively charged. Opposite charges attract, so when a negatively charged object comes into contact with a positively charged one, the electrons will flow from the negative object to the positive one until the charges ___38___ (balance).
When the human body carries an excessive positive charge, it is more likely ___39___ (generate) static electricity. This flow of electrons causes the spark or shock that you feel when you touch a metal object after walking across a ___40___ (carpet) floor with socks on, for example. What’s more, static electricity is more common in the winter than in the summer. This is ___41___ the air is typically drier in the winter, and dry air doesn’t conduct electricity as well as moist air. Hence, it’s ___42___ (easy) for static charges to accumulate on objects.
Although static electricity is usually ___43___ (harm), it can be annoying and sometimes even painful. There are a few things you can do to minimize static electricity. One effective way involves ___44___ (use) a humidifier (加湿器) to add moisture to the air, ____45____ increases the humidity in your home and helps prevent static electricity from building up. In addition, since dry skin can also contribute to static electricity, keeping your skin moisturized can also make the buildup of static charges less likely.

An Unexpected Angel
In the extreme heat, I watched an elderly woman struggle with bags of groceries. Slowing down, I opened the window and called out, “Need a ride?” I helped her into the passenger seat, and we were off.
She directed me to go farther south. Suddenly, I realized we were on the “wrong side of town.” It was starting to get dark, and I began to feel uneasy. We continued down unfamiliar streets until she finally pointed to an old apartment building. The street was dirty and the air was smelly. Several young men gathered around the entrance. They appeared threatening. Some were on motorcycles, and one boy with bushy, long hair was staring at me intently (目不转睛地) — too intently — and smiling.
I was getting more and more uncomfortable. I stopped the car. A couple of the guys helped with the groceries. The old lady thanked me, and I drove away as fast as I could.
I was driving when I was interrupted by a motorcycle behind me. It was that boy who kept smiling at me with a strange look! In a panic, I slowed down, hoping he would pass me. But he continued to drive at the same speed as me. I realized he was waving for me to stop.
No way was I going to stop for a stranger on an unfamiliar street. I tried to speed away, but it didn’t stop him. He raced after me again. Getting increasingly anxious, I reached down in the passenger seat to get my cell phone. I had to call 911.
With my eyes on the road, one hand on the wheel and the other hand searching on the seat next to me, I found a phone. But it wasn’t mine. “Oh no, the lady took my phone by mistake!” Meanwhile, the guy on the bike stayed close to me.
注意:(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
I saw the boy waving something.

D
Between 1945 and 2000, educators employed a fairly uniform approach. The teacher was the sun in the classroom, and all lessons and activities centered around him or her. Educators stressed the importance of discipline and obedience (服从) within the classroom, and students were expected to follow very rigid (死板的) standards for behavior and academic performance. The stated goal of this model was to ensure fairness by applying the same expectations; however, the result was that only a few students succeeded while many others were left behind.
When computers and Internet technology entered the classroom a few decades ago, another pattern appeared and progressive educators immediately saw the opportunity to change the way school worked. Instead of needing to focus on the teachers for the vast majority of the day, students could use computers, websites, and even games to learn new materials and improve their skills and knowledge. Not all educators welcomed this shift, however, as some believed it took power and responsibility away from the teachers and cheapened the educational experience for learners.
Over the last decade, two distinct camps of educators have emerged. Tech advocates stress that computers and Internet technology allow students to learn at their own pace in an environment that makes them feel comfortable, while the traditional classroom sets a pace that many learners can’t keep up with and often makes students feel uncomfortable. Traditionalists, on the other hand, believe that over-reliance on tech limits students’ ability to develop their own knowledge and skills and does little to prepare them for the realities of being adults in the real world.
Regrettably, the inability of these two parties to find an agreement has prevented the growth of our education system. We must learn from what worked in the past while adopting the best of our new technologies to create an education system that reflects our modern world. If we can’t get all our teachers on the same page, then we will be at risk of failing future generations.
12. Who can probably learn better under the 1945-2000 model of education?
A. Lisa who tends to read by herself. B. Michael who likes to share ideas.
C. Kate who can focus on listening for long. D. Tom who prefers hands-on learning.
13. Why do some educators prefer the second education pattern?
A. It allows for different learning styles. B. It has the same hope for students.
C. It fires students’ enthusiasm for learning. D. It reduces teachers’ level of stress.
14. What message is conveyed in paragraph 3?
A. Two of a trade never agree. B. Everyone thinks in his way.
C. Every potter praises his pot. D. One’s words reflect one’s thinking.
15. What is the author’s understanding of a good education system?
A. It’s full of well-trained subject teachers. B. It’s an accurate mirror of the real world.
C. It’s inclusive and accessible to all students. D. It’s a combination of tradition and modernity.
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文一篇是议论文。文章主要论述了两种不同教育模式的特点以及人们对它们不同的看法。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Between 1945 and 2000, educators employed a fairly uniform approach. The teacher was the sun in the classroom, and all lessons and activities centered around him or her.(1945年至2000年间,教育工作者采用了相当统一的方法。老师是教室里的太阳,所有的课程和活动都以他为中心)”可知,1945至2000年间,老师是教室里的太阳,所有的课程和活动都围绕着老师进行,由此可推知在课堂上能长时间专注听课的学生可能会学得更好一些。因此能长时间集中注意力倾听的凯特很可能学得好。故选C。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Instead of needing to focus on the teachers for the vast majority of the day, students could use computers, websites, and even games to learn new materials and improve their skills and knowledge.(学生们可以利用电脑、网站甚至游戏来学习新材料,提高他们的技能和知识,而不是每天大部分时间都盯着老师。)”可知,在第二种教育模式下,学生们不必在一天的大部分时间里都关注老师,他们可以使用电脑、网站、甚至游戏来学习新材料、提高技能和增长知识。由此可推知,因为这种教育模式使不同的学习方式成为可能,所以一些教育工作者比较喜欢。故选A。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Tech advocates stress that computers and Internet technology allow students to learn at their own pace in an environment that makes them feel comfortable, while the traditional classroom sets a pace that many learners can’t keep up with and often makes students feel uncomfortable. Traditionalists, on the other hand, believe that over-reliance on tech limits students’ ability to develop their own knowledge and skills and does little to prepare them for the realities of being adults in the real world. (科技倡导者强调,计算机和互联网技术允许学生在一个让他们感到舒适的环境中按照自己的节奏学习,而传统课堂设定的节奏让许多学习者跟不上,经常让学生感到不舒服。另一方面,传统主义者认为,过度依赖科技限制了学生发展自己的知识和技能的能力,几乎没有帮助他们做好面对即将在现实生活中成为成年人的现实的准备)”可知,就技术而言,科技支持者和传统主义者有不同的看法,也就是说仁者见仁,智者见智。A项“同行是冤家”;B项“仁者见仁,智者见智”;C项“王婆卖瓜,自卖自夸”;D项“言为心声”。故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“We must learn from what worked in the past while adopting the best of our new technologies to create an education system that reflects our modern world.(我们必须从过去的成功经验中学习,同时采用我们最好的新技术来创建一个反映我们现代世界的教育体系)”可推知,在作者看来,一个好的教育体制需要融合传统与现代。故选D。

第二节(共10小题;每小题1.5分,满分15分)
阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容 (1个单词) 或括号内单词的正确形式。
Have you ever taken off a sweater and — felt a surprising shock? That’s static electricity, the buildup of an electric charge. It occurs when two items rub against each other, and electrons are transferred ___36___ one thing or person to another. If an object has an excess of electrons, it becomes negatively charged. On the other hand, when something has ___37___ lack of electrons, it naturally becomes positively charged. Opposite charges attract, so when a negatively charged object comes into contact with a positively charged one, the electrons will flow from the negative object to the positive one until the charges ___38___ (balance).
When the human body carries an excessive positive charge, it is more likely ___39___ (generate) static electricity. This flow of electrons causes the spark or shock that you feel when you touch a metal object after walking across a ___40___ (carpet) floor with socks on, for example. What’s more, static electricity is more common in the winter than in the summer. This is ___41___ the air is typically drier in the winter, and dry air doesn’t conduct electricity as well as moist air. Hence, it’s ___42___ (easy) for static charges to accumulate on objects.
Although static electricity is usually ___43___ (harm), it can be annoying and sometimes even painful. There are a few things you can do to minimize static electricity. One effective way involves ___44___ (use) a humidifier (加湿器) to add moisture to the air, ____45____ increases the humidity in your home and helps prevent static electricity from building up. In addition, since dry skin can also contribute to static electricity, keeping your skin moisturized can also make the buildup of static charges less likely.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了静电的产生原理、季节分布特点,及静电通常无害但可能烦人,同时给出减少静电的实用方法。
【36题详解】
考查介词。句意:当两个物体相互摩擦时,电子会从一个物体或人转移到另一个物体或人身上,静电就产生了。此处为固定搭配“transfer from...to...”,意为“从……转移到……”,用介词from。故填from。
【37题详解】
考查冠词。句意:另一方面,当某个物体缺少电子时,它自然会带正电。此处为固定搭配“a lack of”,意为“缺乏、缺少”,用不定冠词a。故填a。
【38题详解】
考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意:异种电荷相互吸引,所以当带负电的物体与带正电的物体接触时,电子会从带负电的物体流向带正电的物体,直到电荷达到平衡。此处为谓语动词,描述客观物理现象,用一般现在时;主语the charges为复数,所以谓语动词为balance。故填balance。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:当人体携带过多正电荷时,就更容易产生静电。此处为固定结构“be likely to do sth.”,意为“可能做某事”,用动词不定式to generate。故填to generate。
【40题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:例如,当你穿着袜子走过铺着地毯的地板后,触摸金属物体时感受到的火花或电击,就是这种电子流动造成的。此处为非谓语动词作定语修饰名词floor,carpet意为“给……铺地毯”与floor之间为被动关系,所以此处使用过去分词形式,作定语。故填carpeted。
【41题详解】
考查表语从句。句意:这是因为冬天的空气通常更干燥,而干燥的空气导电性能不如潮湿的空气。此处引导表语从句,从句中不缺主语和宾语,但句意不完整,结合句意,此处表示“因为”,用连接词because。故填because。
【42题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意:因此,静电荷更容易在物体上积聚。此处暗含冬天与夏天的对比,结合前文“dry air doesn’t conduct electricity as well as moist air”,用easy的比较级easier,意为“更容易的”。故填easier。
【43题详解】
考查形容词。句意:虽然静电通常是无害的,但它可能会令人烦恼,有时甚至会让人感到疼痛。此处作表语,用harm的形容词形式harmless,意为“无害的”符合句意。故填harmless。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:一种有效的方法是使用加湿器来增加空气中的湿度,这会提高你家里的湿度,有助于防止静电积聚。此处为固定搭配“involve doing”意为“涉及做某事”可知,用use的动名词形式using,作宾语。故填using。
【45题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:一种有效的方法是使用加湿器来增加空气中的湿度,这会提高你家里的湿度,有助于防止静电积聚。此处为非限制性定语从句,先行词为前面整个句子描述的“使用加湿器增加空气湿度”这件事,关系词在从句中作主语,用关系代词which。故填which。

An Unexpected Angel
In the extreme heat, I watched an elderly woman struggle with bags of groceries. Slowing down, I opened the window and called out, “Need a ride?” I helped her into the passenger seat, and we were off.
She directed me to go farther south. Suddenly, I realized we were on the “wrong side of town.” It was starting to get dark, and I began to feel uneasy. We continued down unfamiliar streets until she finally pointed to an old apartment building. The street was dirty and the air was smelly. Several young men gathered around the entrance. They appeared threatening. Some were on motorcycles, and one boy with bushy, long hair was staring at me intently (目不转睛地) — too intently — and smiling.
I was getting more and more uncomfortable. I stopped the car. A couple of the guys helped with the groceries. The old lady thanked me, and I drove away as fast as I could.
I was driving when I was interrupted by a motorcycle behind me. It was that boy who kept smiling at me with a strange look! In a panic, I slowed down, hoping he would pass me. But he continued to drive at the same speed as me. I realized he was waving for me to stop.
No way was I going to stop for a stranger on an unfamiliar street. I tried to speed away, but it didn’t stop him. He raced after me again. Getting increasingly anxious, I reached down in the passenger seat to get my cell phone. I had to call 911.
With my eyes on the road, one hand on the wheel and the other hand searching on the seat next to me, I found a phone. But it wasn’t mine. “Oh no, the lady took my phone by mistake!” Meanwhile, the guy on the bike stayed close to me.
注意:(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
I saw the boy waving something.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I felt guilty and wanted to reward the boy.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
I saw the boy waving something. Squinting through the rearview mirror, I realized it was my cell phone — its familiar case glinting in the dim streetlight. My heart skipped a beat, and I slowly pulled over, still on edge. He stopped his motorcycle beside me, holding out the phone with a gentle smile. “The old lady left this in my apartment building,” he said softly. “I saw it was yours and rushed to catch up. Didn’t mean to scare you.” His words melted my panic, and I felt a rush of embarrassment for judging him so quickly.
I felt guilty and wanted to reward the boy. I fumbled in my wallet, but he shook his head firmly. “No need, ma’am. I just didn’t want you to worry about your phone.” His kindness made my cheeks burn. Instead, I asked for his name — Liam — and told him I’d bring him a homemade meal the next day. The next afternoon, I dropped off a plate of lasagna at his apartment. He thanked me with a big grin, and we chatted for a few minutes. That day, I learned never to judge someone by their appearance; sometimes, angels wear leather jackets and ride motorcycles.

【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,文章讲述作者在炎热天气载了一位老年妇女,因去了陌生街区且遇到看似有威胁的年轻人而不安,离开后被其中一男孩骑摩托追赶,作者恐慌时发现手机被妇女错拿,后男孩归还手机,作者愧疚并想报答,也明白不能以貌取人。
【详解】1. 段落续写:
①由第一段内容“我看见那个男孩正挥舞着什么东西。”可知,第一段可描写男孩挥舞着作者的手机追赶,停车后解释是老奶奶遗落让他归还,作者既安心又愧疚。
②由第二段首句内容“我心怀愧疚,想报答这个男孩。”可知,第二段可描写作者愧疚想报答男孩遭拒,得知其名后送家常千层面,聊天中领悟不可以貌取人,平凡外表下或藏善意。
