My year abroad
This month in Travellers Corner there are
three teenagers'experiences in year-abroad
programmes.
Mariko Okada-Tokyo
My year abroad in the United States was
a fantastic experience.I'm not a shy person,
and I am very comfortable speaking to every-
one.So I got lots of speaking practice.I also
learned lots of interesting things about Ameri-
can culture.When I got home,my friends all
said that I had improved so much!I hope to
go back again in the future.
Carla Fonseca-Rio de Janeiro
I spent last year studying English in Lon-
don.I'm from a small town,and London is a
very big city.Sometimes I felt it was too big.
There were so many people to talk to,but I al-
ways felt bad about my English.I missed my
family,and I really missed my two cats.My
roommate was always using our telephone,so
I hardly had the chance for a nice long talk
with my parents.I think it was a good experi-

ence for me,but I'm glad to be home!

teresting experience for me,but it was also
lots of hard work!I had English classes six
hours a day,five days a week-with lots of
homework.I also kept a diary of my experi-
ence.I like to write,and I wrote two or three
pages in my diary every day.On Saturdays,
my homestay family took me to lots of inter-
esting places and showed me so many won-
derful things about the culture.I'm really glad
I went!

What do you usually do when you have
some free time?Do you take part in any form
of hobby?If your answer is no,then you
should think twice.Experiencing some type of
interest or hobby might be the ideal way to
develop your brain and improve your creative
thinking.
Here is a common problem that many
older people have.They have spent such a
great deal of time raising their family that
once their children are grown and left home,
they all of a sudden start to experience their
age.Quite often,it is not their age that is the
concern.It is the fact that they are unexpect-
edly offered more time on their hands.
When you put in too much time not do-
ing anything,this can affect your brain.This is
just where the expression "If you don't use it,
you lose it"definitely is the truth.Your mind
needs working out much like any other muscle
in your body.This is why getting a hobby
matters.It offers you something to do and is a
perfect way to meet new people.
Enjoying a hobby is also a perfect way to
improve creative thinking at any age.Even
young children can profit from taking a new
hobby.For retired people,enjoying a hobby
which they can find entertainment in with
their grandchildren will help keep them active
and feeling young at heart.
Several hobbies that are terrific for both
your mind and you body include yoga,biking,
swimming and golf.If you aren't fond of
sports,even taking a walk regularly is a won-
derful way to keep active.It helps you to ap-
preciate fresh scenery and it has been suggest-
ed that the colors green and blue help make
you more creative.
As you can see above,you can get pretty
much from taking a hobby.With so many
choices waiting for you,begin your journey
right away!
()24.What can be implied about many
older people from Paragraph 2?
A.They lock creative thinking.
B.They should develop their brain.
C.They concern about their age.
D.They used to have little free time.
()25.Why does getting a hobby matter
according to the text?
A.It strengthens one's brain
B.It helps build up one's muscle.
C.It enables one to make friends.
D.It improves one's living condi-
tions.
()26.What does the underlined word
“terrific”in Paragraph5 probably
mean?
A.Specific.
B.Disgusting.
C.Wonderful.D.Fundamental.
()27.Which of the following can be the
best title for the text?
A.Trying different hobbies
B.Spending your free time
C.Experiencing your hobby now
D.Feeling young at heart
C
Everybody sleeps,but what people stay
up late to catch or wake up early in order not
to miss varies by culture.From data collected,
it seems the things that cause us to lose the
most sleep,on average,are sporting events,
time changes,and holidays.
Russia's late nights and early mornings
generally correspond(相一致)to public holi--
days.On New Year's Eve,Russians have the
world's latest bedtime,hitting the hay at
around 3:30 a.m.Russians also get up an hour
later on International Women's Day,the day
for treating and celebrating female relatives.
Similarly,Americans'late nights,late
mornings,and longest sleep fall on three-day
weekends.
Canada got the least sleep of the year the
night it beat Sweden in the Olympic hockey
(冰球)final.
The World Cup is also chiefly responsi-
ble for sleep deprivation.The worst night for
sleep in the U.K.was the night of the Eng-
land-Italy match on June 14.British people
stayed up a half-hour later to watch it,and
then they woke up earlier than usual the next
morning thanks to summer nights,the phe-
nomenon in which the sun barely sets in
northern countries in the summertime.That
was nothing,though,compared to Germans,
Unt1检测卷。
Italians,and the French,who stayed up around
an hour and a half later on various days
throughout the summer to watch the World
Cup.
It should be made clear that not everyone
has a tool to record their sleep patterns;in
some of these nations,it's likely that only the
richest people do.And people who select to
track their sleep may try to get more sleep
than the average person.Even if that's the
case,the above findings are still striking.If
the most health-conscious(注重健康的)
among us have such deep swings(明显改变)
in our sleep levels throughout the year,how
much sleep are the rest of us losing?
)28.What do we learn about the Rus-
sians regarding sleep?
A.They don't fall asleep until very
late.
B.They don't sleep much on week-
ends.
C.They get less sleep on public
holidays
D.They sleep longer than people
elsewhere.
()2g.The underlined word“deprivation"
in the last but one paragraph means
A.depression B.trouble
C.observation D.loss
()30.Why do some rich people use a
tool to record their sleep patterns?
A.They want to get more sleep.

N
高中英语必修第二册(人教版)
B.They have trouble falling asleep.
C.They are involved in a sleep re-
search.
D.They want to go to bed on re-
gular hours.
()31.What does the author imply in the
last paragraph?
A.It is important to study our sleep
patterns.
B.Few people really know the im-
portance of sleep.
C.Sleeplessness does harm to peo-
ple's health.
D.Average people probably sleep
more than the rich.

Say you are a 17th century construction
(建筑)worker who's worked long and hard
to build a splendid tower for the dead wife of
your emperor(皇帝).
Now say that the emperor orders you to
cut off your fingertips so you can never build
another one.Yes,that is the Taj Mahal,one
of the most famous buildings in the world.
And the tale(传说)behind the construction
is just as impressive(印象深刻的)as the
building itself.
First,there's the emperor of northern
India,Shah Jehan,also called the King of
the World.In 1612,Shah Jehan married
Mumtaz Mahal.Madly in love,they had 14
children over the next 20 years.But then sad-
ness came.As Mumtaz was about to give birth
to child Number 14,she said she had heard
her unborn baby cry out.It was a sign of
death.And as Mumtaz lay dying,she asked
Jehan to build a lasting memorial(纪念物)
to celebrate their love.
When the heartbroken Jehan appeared
eight days after his wife's death,his people
were shocked to see that his coal-black hair
had turned snow-white.
Putting away his sadness,Jehan ordered
his wife's dying wish be carried out(执行).
More than 20,000 workers labored nearly 22
years to complete the construction.In 1653,
Jehan placed Mumtaz's remains in the center
under the building.
And then,son Number Five,Au-
rangzeb,murdered his brothers and took over
the power from his aging father.Jehan lived
the rest of his days-eight years,to be ex-
act-imprisoned not far from the Taj Mahal.
Jehan was only allowed to climb onto the top
of his prison to see the timeless treasure from
a distance(从远处).But never again would
he be allowed to visit it-until he was buried
next to his wife.
Today 25,000 people visit the Taj Mahal
each day.Though the reason for building the
tower was a strange,sad story,those who
see its breathtaking beauty are reminded
想起)of the happiness that inspired(激
发…的灵感)its construction.
()32.The first two paragraphs were wri-
tten to show that.
A.the Taj Mahal is an unusual
historic building
B.ancient Indian emperors were
cruel
C.construction workers led a hard
life in ancient India
D.India has some of the most fa-
mous buildings in the world
()33.The Taj Mahal was first built as
A.a prison
B.a gift to Mumtaz
C.a memorial building
D.a tourist attraction(景点)
()34.We learn from the text that Mum-
taz probably died in
A.1626
B.1632
C.1634
D.1653
()35.The underlined word "happiness"
in the last paragraph refers to_
A.the married happiness of the
emperor and his wife
B.the great pleasure Jehan once
found in exercising his power
C.the happiness Jehan felt on
completing the Taj Mahal
D.the pleasure tourists experience
when visiting the Taj Mahal

A good relationship between students and
Unt1检测卷。
teachers makes the classroom a very inviting
place.When you consider your teachers as
friends,it's easier to pay attention to their ex-
planations and improve your grades.When
your teachers consider you as a friend,they'll
feel more open in class.36.
Now
there are some tips to develop a friendly rela-
tionship with your teachers.
37.
If you have any questions,
ask them.That will make them notice you
But never ask questions you already know the
answers to.If your teachers realize you are not
asking real questions,they might think you are
not actually trying to learn,but only trying to
make an impression.
38.
When you see one of your
teachers in the hall,greet him or her and ask
if he or she is going to a concert.Most of the
teachers are happy to chat with their students.
After a while,they may start to talk with you
about non-school subjects in the classroom.
39.
It's very easy to develop a
friendly relationship with any of your teachers.
40.
However,don't forget no matter
what good friends you are,they will still be
your teachers and deserve your respect.
A.Ask questions.
B.Care about their interests.
C.Just treat them as friends.
D.The rest is totally up to you.
E.Talk about non-school subjects.
F.And that will probably affect the classroom
in a positive way.

cheer to oursevles and others.Giving a smile

tell you a story about“an invisible smile'”.
Mr.Dawson was an old man with bad
temper,and everyone in the town knew it.
Kids knew that they couldn't go into his yard
to pick a delicious apple,even off the ground,
because they said old Dawson would come
after you with his ball bullet gun.
One Friday,12-year-old Janet was going
to stay all night with her friend Amy.They
had to walk by Dawson's house on the way to
Amy's house,but as they got close,Janet saw
him sitting on his front door,so she suggested
they cross over to the other side of the street.
Like most of the children,she was afraid of
the old man because of the stories she'd heard
about him.
Amy said not to worry,Mr.Dawson
wouldn't hurt anyone.Still,Janet was growing
more nervous with each step closer to the old
man's house.When they got close enough,
Dawson looked up,but when he saw it was
Amy,a broad smile changed his entire face
and he said,"Hello,Miss Amy.I see you've
got a little friend with you today."
Amy smiled back and told him that Janet
was staying overnight and they were going to
listen to music and play games.Dawson told
them that sounded fun,and offered them each

accepted.Dawson had the best apples in the

writing to offer my suggestions on the improvement of our
English website.As the website is basically intended for us
students,I think it is advisable that more photos about campus
life should be provided to make it more appealing and attrac-
tive.Besides,I hope the online news can be updated more
often to keep us informed of what's going on in the world.
Also,a new column Reading Salon will be welcomed be-
cause we all love reading but now we lack a platform
where we can publish reviews of the books we've read.
I would appreciate it if you could consider my sugges-
tions.
Yours,
Li Hua

25.C【解析】词义猜测题。根据第二段可知,在黄
石国家公园,灰狼曾经随处可见,但是到了20世纪20
年代,由于人类活动频繁,灰狼基本消失,它们迁徙到
了加拿大的森林深处,那里很少有人类活动。因此可推
测灰狼因为人类的发展被迫离开。force out意为“赶出
去”,与displace意思相近,故选C项。
26.A【解析】细节理解题。根据第三段可知,灰狼
的消失带来了很多意料之外的后果,鹿和麋鹿的数量激
增,它们消耗了大量的植被,破坏了公园里植物的多样
性,同时,丛林狼的数量也迅速增长,造成赤狐数量的
减少和河狸的消失。因此,灰狼的消失破坏了当地的生
态,故选A项。

句话中的a valuable experiment可推知,作者对黄石国
家公园的灰狼回归计划持赞同的态度,故选B项。

A项。
30.D【解析】推理判断题。白鳍豚数量减少最重要
的原因就是它们要依靠声音辨别方向,而人类活动把它
们所需要的宁静破坏了,最好的办法自然就是还给它们
原有的宁静环境一一建一片自然公园,当然不可能将整
