第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)

A
No matter where you live or how you define yourself, these are some of the best activities to get in touch with nature.
Hiking
One of the easiest and most accessible ways to get close to nature is by setting out on a good old hike. Hiking generally doesn’t require any special equipment or special skills; just a good pair of boots, a map, and a thirst for adventure. This activity can be as relaxing as you make it. Suggestion: consider doing a little advance research on Trails.com or EveryTrail.com.
Backcountry Camping
Why limit yourself to just a day hike when you can have a full weekend (or longer) adventure? Backcountry camping involves packing your tent, sleeping bag, food,and water on your back to set up camp in a remote location. If you’re an experienced hiker and camper, this is an excellent way to test your survival skills and explore the wildness. Many parks require backpackers to obtain permits, so make sure to register and map your route before stepping on the trail.
Mountain and Road Biking
Unlike long hikes through the woods, biking allows you to cover more ground and travel farther while still being in nature. Mountain biking typically involves riding up and down steep slopes, between trees, and over rocks. If this sounds too intense or your tires aren’t suited for a rocky path, consider taking a road bike or a hybrid on paved trails through forest preserves or along country roads.
21. What is especially suggested before hiking?
A. Having a new pair of boots. B. Having a map.
C. Having a thirst for adventure. D. Doing some advance research on the websites.
22. Which of the following items is NOT necessary when taking backcountry camping according to the passage?
A. A tent. B. A cell phone. C. Food. D. Some water.
23. What is the typical character of the mountain biking?
A. You have to get permits. B. You have to do some research in advance.
C. You can ride up and down the mountains. D. You must have a road bike.
B
Two weeks ago, Ray Johnstone, an elderly man living alone in South Australia, posted a
classified advertisement in search of a friend. Specifically, he was on the hunt for a fishing partner, as he no longer had anyone to share his hobby with. “I’m a widowed retired man who is looking for a fishing mate,” he wrote on Gumtree, “My previous fishing mate is now deceased. He will never accompany me to go fishing. I am a land-based fisherman. I have all the gear for all types of fish that is required for land-based fishing.”
Like all of us, 22-year-old Mati Batsinilas was touched by the man’s advertisement, so he reached out to him and arranged an outing. Rather than simply spend the day with Johnstone somewhere local, however, he and his family offered to take him on an all-inclusive weekend fishing trip of Stradbroke Island in Queensland. And, as expected, they had a good time. “Whilst on the island we covered four-wheel driving, site-seeing, fishing, swimming, chats with the locals and the best of all... just relaxing and chatting like mates,” Batsinilas wrote in a Facebook post. “Once you reach a level of maturity in life, age should only be a number. My respect for Johostone is obviously very high, but I treated him exactly the way I would have treated one of my 22-year-old mates.”
Fortunately, it sounds like Johnstone won’t have to place more classified advertisements any time soon. In addition to finding a friend, the pensioner has become a star on the Internet, with many social media users voicing their interests in meeting the now-famous fisherman.
24. What was the aim of Ray Johnstone’s posting a classified advertisement?
A. He wanted to sell all his tools.
B. Ife wanted to show off his excellent fishing skills.
C. He wanted to find a friend to go fishing with.
D. He wanted to find a friend to sell all his caught fish.
25. What does the underlined word “deceased” in the first paragraph mean?
A. ill B. unfriendly C. angry D. dead
26. What was Mati Batsinilas’ attitude towards Ray Johnstone?
A. He thought Johnstone was too old to go fishing with.
B. He treated Johnstone like a senior citizen and took him to travel.
C. He thought his father would make friends with Johnstone.
D. He treated the old man as a friend of the same age.
27. What will happen after Ray Johnstone posted the classified advertisement?
A. There will be no advertisements for friends-hunting on the Internet.
B. Mare people will go online to read his latest information.
C. More people will come to make friends with Ray Johnstone.
D. Ray Johnstone will regret what he did on the Internet and move away.
C
Maybe it has been the influence of the current scene: the type among urban biking. Apparently, urban biking requires entirely different bikes than suburban hiking does and therefore a Bike Design Project started where five design studios across five cities had to come up with a perfect urban bike. The winning bike will be manufactured for a limited run of 100 hikes and will be in stores next year. Industry, a Portland-based studio, came up with a very interesting bike: one that uses bluetooth and handlebars (车把手) that tell you when to stop or turn.
Industry worked together with Ti Cycles to create a bike with a 3D printed titanium frame (钛框架). The hike is called Solid and can be connected to a smartphone APP: My Bike. This APP alarms a user when a light needs replacement and if something gets wrong with one’s brakes. There is also software called Discover My City, which has a series of routes through Portland’s most trendy neighborhoods, with suggestions about where to eat and shop.
Nevertheless, the idea with cycling is that you need to focus on the road and not on your smartphone. This bike therefore uses integrated feedback on handlebars. Those handlebars tell a user when to turn, as they will buzz when a turn appears. As you are getting closer, they will buzz more frequently. And then there is the possibility to control your light via built-in sensors and change gears by pressing an electronic button.
Although the bicycle looks highly interesting and can be seen as a piece of art for the designing world, we don’t know if we would like our bike to have an automatic buzz when we are approaching a turn. On the other side, it could add some extra safety to traffic in general. Whether you like the bike or not, you have to admit the Portland-based studio brings the concept of urban biking to a whole new level.
28. Paragraph 1 mainly talks about .
A. the equipment that a hand-made bike requires
B. the popularity of the winning bike in the urban area
C. the introduction to a new bike in the future market
D. the difference between urban biking and suburban biking
29. The 3D printed bike is special in the way .
A. it tells the biker where to eat and shop
B. it connects the computers
C. it limits the riding speed
D. it goes into forests and mountains
30. What is the author’s attitude to the newly-designed bicycle?
A. Disapproving. B. Doubtful.
C. Pessimistic. D. Objective.
31. The passage is likely to appear in .
A. a school textbook B. a TV advertisement
C. an exhibition D. a newspaper report
D
When seeing the doctor, you feel better to know you will get some medicine. But the doctor knows that medicine is not always needed. Sometimes all a sick person needs is some reassurance (安想) that all will be well. In such cases the doctor may prescribe a placebo.
A placebo is a sugar pill, a harmless shot, or an empty capsule. The patient thinks it is medicine and begins to get better. How does this happen?
The study of the placebo opens up new knowledge about the way the human body can heal itself. It is as if there was a doctor in each of us. The doctor will heal the body for us if we let it. But it is not yet known just how the placebo works to heal the body. Some people say it works because the human mind fools itself. These people say that if the mind is fooled into thinking it got medicine, then it will act as if it did, and the body will feel better.
Placebos don’t always work. The success of this treatment seems to rest a lot with the relationship between the patient and the doctor. If the patient has lots of trust in the doctor and if the doctor really wants to help the patient, then the placebo is more likely to work. So in a way, the doctor is the most powerful placebo of all.
A placebo can also have bad effects. If patients expect a bad reaction to medicine, then they’ll also show a bad reaction to the placebo. Some doctors still think that if the placebo can have bad effects it should never be used. They think there is still not enough known about it.
The strange power of the placebo does seem to suggest that the human mind is stronger than we
think it is. There are people who say you can heal your body by using your mind. And the interesting thing is that even people who swear this is not possible have been healed by a placebo.
32 What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 5 refer to?
A. The placebo. B. The bad effect.
C. The body. D. The medicine.
33. What do we know about the placebo according to the passage?
A. It contains some sort of medicine.
B. It won’t function if patients are negative about medicine.
C People who don’t believe the placebo can’t be healed by it.
D. Patients and doctors know clearly how it helps to heal the body.
34. Why is the doctor sometimes the most powerful placebo?
A. Because patient needs help badly.
B. Because patient believes in the doctor and the doctor wants to help the patient.
C. Because doctor knows better about the patient’s body.
D. Because doctor has carefully studied medicine.
35. What is the best title for the text?
A. Placebo: Work on Your Mind
B. Placebo: The Most Powerful Medicine
C. Placebo: The Best Doctor
D. Placebo: Heal the Body

Dear Sir or Madam,
I am Li Hua, captain of the football team in Guangming High School. I’m writing to seek help from you. There are 50 members in our football team including 32 boys and 18 girls, who are keen on football. We hold a variety of activities on a regular basis such as holding football matches every two weeks, having formal practice every other day, watching live football matches on TV every weekend and so on.
However, we are facing some difficulty in developing our football team. We lack enough coaches and we need more formal practice. So we sincerely hope that you can send some coaches to guide us and teach us more about football.
I’m looking forward to your reply.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

M: My mum has always told my sister and me to help others. One day last week I was walking back to my home and I passed by an old lady who seemed to be in trouble. I turned back and asked if she was OK, she explained that she was sick and had to struggle to walk with her shopping bags. I offered to carry her things and walked her back home, but she refused because she didn’t want to give me any trouble. I told her it didn’t matter and her home was on my way home. It was a white lie. As I walked with her, she talked with me and introduced herself. I in turn told her my name. She asked if I knew Ray Robert. I was shocked and said yes, that was my dad. It turned out that this lady was my dad’s neighbor who had looked after my dad and his sisters when their mother died thirty years ago. My dad had often spoken of her but I had never met her as she had moved away with her family. It was a lovely moment for both of us. When I got home and told my dad about the incident, it made him cry. I was so moved. I am glad that my small active kindness ended in a chance meeting that meant so much to the two people.
