Seoul is a modern city full of delicious food options (选择) as well as great attractions,
historical sights, and places to shop.
Best time to visit
The best month for sightseeing in Seoul is during the warm weather between summer
and early fall.
Getting around
In Seoul, you have three main forms of transportation: train, subway, and taxi. The
fastest option to get around Seoul is the Airport Railroad Express train. It has two options:
the express and the all-stop. While the all-stop option is cheaper, it’s about 15 minutes
slower than the express.
Seoul has one of the largest subway stations in the world with 14 lines. It may seem a
bit awful, but once you get used to it, it’s pretty easy.
Another option to get around Seoul is to rent a car. This is one of the least used options
as Seoul has a convenient public transportation system.
Places to visit
Everland — the largest theme park in Korea.
Lotte World — a great theme park for kids with never-ending thrill rides.
Seoul Tower — a symbolic skyscraper where you can take breathtaking views of the
city.
TrickEye 3D museum — if you love photos, you will find strange photos in this
museum.
Where to stay
There are lots of places to stay at Seoul. Below are our top recommendations (推荐):
Myeongdong is tourists’ popular option. It has great shopping malls, great food, and
lively nightlife. You can stay at the Aloft Seoul Myeongdong.
Gangnam is another popular district, which has become famous thanks to the song
Gangnam Style. One of the best areas in Gangnam is Garosugil, where you will find cafes,
art galleries, retail ( 零 售 ) stores. A great hotel option in this area is the Dormy Inn
Premium Seoul Garosugil.

The sun was rising when Daryl's delivery truck reached the highway. This was the best
time of day to drive, when the roads were wide open and empty. He felt sure he was going
to make it to Los Angeles before midnight. It looked like it was going to be a good day.
Then he saw it, a large lump in the middle of the road. Daryl often passed dead animals
on the roadside but he knew then this was something different. He slammed on his brakes 第 3 页 共 8 页
and the truck screeched to a halt.
The lump was a girl. He tried shaking her awake but she wouldn't move, so he picked
her up and carried her to the side of the road. At least she wouldn't be run over there.
Now she was someone else's problem. He had to make it to Los Angeles by midnight
and didn't have time to be at here. He climbed back into his truck but as he looked in his
mirror and saw the girl lying still by the side of the road, he knew he couldn't leave her.
Daryl put her into his truck and drove to the next town.
An hour later he pulled up at the police station. After explaining what had happened, he
prepared to leave, only for the policeman to say that he needed to make a report. Daryl
knew this would take several hours, but he had no choice. There was no way he'd get to
Los Angeles on time now.
Three hours later the report was done and the girl had recovered somewhat. She
explained that she had fallen on the highway, weak from hunger, but could remember
nothing else. She also thanked Daryl for saving her life. Daryl told her that he had been
happy to help, but as he got back into his truck he knew his boss wouldn't be.
Just as he was about to pull back onto the road, his mother called. "Have you seen？"
she said," A bridge collapsed two hours ago, the one that you drive over on the way to Los
Angeles."
Daryl's blood run cold. If he had been on time, he would have been on that fallen bridge
about two hours ago. Daryl realized how lucky he was.
14. What did Daryl plan to do in Los Angeles？
A. Go on holiday. B. Deliver some goods.
C. Visit his mum. D. Report to his boss.
15. Why did Daryl first leave the girl by the side of the road？
A. He didn't want to be late. B. He thought the girl would be fine.
C. He knew that someone else would help. D. He worried the police would blame him.
16. How did Daryl feel after he left the police station？
A. Confident that he would be on time. B. Angry that he had to make the report.
C. Proud that he had saved the girls life. D. Worried that his boss would be angry.
17. What does the underlined expression "Daryl blood ran cold" in the last paragraph
suggest？
A. Daryl was now feeling more relaxed.
B. Daryl thought he would be in trouble.
C. Daryl was greatly shocked by the news.
D. Daryl felt the sudden change in temperature.
C
Most of us struggle through the time it takes to get a cup of coffee to our lips once our
alarms go off. Luckily, this coffee﹣brewing alarm clock could make those few struggling
minutes practically disappear.
An alarm clock that brews a fresh pot of coffee as soon as you wake up actually exists,
and you can buy it right now. Thanks to the Barisieur, your morning time will never be the
same.
Here's how it works: Before you go to bed, fill the glass container with water and pour
ground coffee into the filter (过滤器). Not a black coffee drinker？
Not to worry --- special drawers keep your cream cold and store your sugar, too.
Then, just set your alarm and go to sleep. This machine will take care of the rest.第 4 页 共 8 页
A few minutes before your alarm goes off next morning, the Barisieur will begin to brew
your coffee. And voila! A hot cup of coffee is waiting for you when your alarm rings and
you open your eyes. You won't even have to leave your bed.
London designer Joshua Renouf designed this invention himself, raising over﹩500,000
through donations on IndieGoGo. Coffee lovers should act fast and put in a pre-order on
the website now, paying just﹩300. Otherwise, you have to wait until it hits stores and pay
﹩420.
Owning one of these clocks will be totally worth it. Nothing says "seize the day" quite
like waking up to a pot of freshly brewed coffee, after all. Also, the machine isn't limited to
making coffee only in the morning. You can go out and return home with a hot cup of
coffee waiting for you.
18. Why does the author mention the struggle？
A. To show making coffee is challenging.
B. To show coffee can make us feel better.
C. To show the coffee﹣brewing alarm clock is great.
D. To show it is difficult to get up early in the morning.
19. What does the underlined word "it" in Paragraph 3 refer to？
A. The Barisieur. B. The morning time.
C. A hot cup of coffee. D. The glass container.
20. What's the benefit of pre-ordering the clock on the website now？
A. You can get one much earlier.
B. You can get one at a great discount.
C. You can get donations from its designer.
D. You may have a chance to meet Joshua Renouf.
21. What is the author's purpose in writing the text？
A. To tell us how to make coffee easily.
B. To advertise a new product in a store.
C. To recommend a special kind of alarm clock.
D. To compare traditional alarm clocks and new ones.
D
An international team of researchers from the University of Oxford have found that the
way people use the Internet is closely tied to the seasonal movements in the natural world.
Their online species searches follow the patterns of seasonal animal migrations (迁徙).
Migratory birds (候鸟) flood back to where they reproduce every spring. That migratory
behavior is accompanied by some human behavior. "In English﹣language Wikipedia (维
基百科), the online searches for migratory species tend to increase in spring when those
birds arrive in the United States," said the lead author John Mittermeier.
And not just birds. Mittermeier and his team surveyed nearly 2.5 billion Wikipedia
search records, for 32,000 species, across 245 languages. They also saw variable search
rates for insects, horsetails and flowering plants. Seasonal trends seemed to be widespread
in Wikipedia behavior for many species of plants and animals.
This finding suggests new ways to monitor changes in the world's biological diversity. It
also shows new ways to see how much people care about nature, and which species and
areas might be the most effective targets for conservation.
Mittermeier is encouraged by the search results. He commented, "I think there's a
concern among conservationists (生态环境保护者) that people are losing touch with the 第 5 页 共 8 页
natural world and that they're not interacting with native species anymore. And so in that
sense, it was really exciting and quite unexpected for me to see people's Wikipedia interest
closely related to changes in nature."
Richard Grenyer, Associate Professor from the University of Oxford, says search data is
useful to conservation biologists, "By using these big data approaches, we can direct our
attention towards the difficult questions in modern conservation: which species and areas
are changing, and where are the people who care the most and can do the most to help."
22. What have researchers found about species searches？
A. They strengthen ties among people. B. They affect the animal movements.
C. They differ in language backgrounds. D. They reflect animal migration seasons.
23. What is the purpose of writing Paragraph 3？
A. To summarize the research process.
B. To further support the research findings.
C. To show the variety of species searches.
D. To present researchers' heavy work load.
24. How does Mittermeier feel about the search results？
A. Satisfied with Wikipedia's service.
B. Worried about Wikipedia behavior.
C. Amazed at people's care about nature.
D. Sad about people's not getting close to nature.
25. Why does Richard think such search data is useful？
A. It helps to aim at conservation targets.
B. It increases interest in big data approaches.
C. It keeps track of trends in biologists' work.
D. It pushes people to solve difficult problems.

Cold showers are common practice in many countries and have been around for
much longer before we were spoiled with in-home water heaters. Many health benefits
are associated with taking cold showers, the most popular one being improved circulation
(血液循环). Cold water hitting the body causes blood to move closer to the inner organs
to keep them warm. 26
Also, those who take a cold shower in the morning are most likely to be more
energetic than people who take a hot shower. 27 This, in turn, increases your
oxygen intake and heart rate, leading to improved awareness and a more energetic
state.
Besides, as you take a cold shower, your body struggles to stay warm by increasing
its metabolic (新陈代谢) rate. 28 These cells are responsible for protecting your
body and increasing your immune system, making you less likely to be affected by
disease.
Additionally, as the cold water shocks the nervous system, the nerves send a signal to
the brain and activate the part of the brain responsible for releasing hormones that reduce
depression.
29 Having a shower with cold water will close pores ( 毛 孔 ) in your skin and
also make your hair appear smooth, shiny and healthy.第 6 页 共 8 页
30 Turn that tap to cold every now and then, boost your health, and save
some pennies on the heating bill in the process.
A. So, what are you waiting for?
B. Do you believe in these benefits of cold showers?
C. That act increases the overall blood circulation in your body.
D. Lots of white blood cells will soon disappear from your body after that.
E. This results in the body producing more white blood cells as it thinks it’s under attack.
F. A less obvious benefit of cold showers may be discovered when you look in the mirror.
G.The sudden touch of cold water will surprise the body, leaving you taking a deep breath.

第二节 语法填空(共 10 小题；每小题 1.5 分, 满分 15 分)
阅读下面短文, 在空白处填入适当的内容或使用括号中单词的正确形式。
Different countries have wildly different forms of greeting.
In the USA, when you pass by someone you know, a nod is acceptable, and you
usually shake hands with someone you first meet. But in Latin countries, a firm
handshake 51 (consider) rude. In my home country, Mauritius, when people meet,
they usually kiss each other 52 the cheeks. This is also common in France, 53
the act is called faire la bise. However, this is not 54 universal rule.
During my first week in the USA, I kissed every single girl I met. My friends had to
tell me that that was inappropriate, 55 (leave) me in great embarrassment. What is
common here, however, is for friends 56 (hug) each other---something I was not
used to. Hugs always make me 57 (frighten) because I don’t really like that. This may
seem strange since even kissing 58 (stranger) is normal in my country. Now that I
think about it, I hate cheek-kissing as well.
Wouldn’t it be 59 (enjoy) to have a greeting code that is 60 (wide)
acceptable? I’m not saying we should start doing that, but we can surely do something to
avoid misunderstanding.

Dear Terry，
Nice to hear from you. Knowing that you paid a visit to China ten years ago and
you're coming here again this summer, I'm now writing to tell you some changes that
have taken place in our country in the past decade．
First, our ways of communication have greatly changed. Ten years ago, we
communicated with each other mainly by texting, making phone calls or chatting on QQ.
Now we can talk face-to-face online by using Wechat video features. Second, we adopt
different ways to pay. When you were here in China, we paid in cash, so we had to bring
money with us every day. But now you don't have to. Just equip your phone with a few
apps, like Alipay, you can buy everything ranging from clothes to fresh food. Finally, it is
more convenient and time-saving to travel in China with the development of high-speed
trains. And you can also hire a car and drive around China on your own．
I hope my introduction will be helpful for you. I'm sure you will have a great summer
here．
Yours
Li Hua
