W: Do a lot of people do mountain running?
M: Yes. The runs take place in the countryside — the areas like the Lake District and the Highland of Scotland are very popular. But this doesn’t stop people from the city taking part. For example, I drive to my club from my city apartment.
W: Can you tell me the history of mountain running?
M: Well, there are records of people doing this going back nearly a thousand years. It was always been connected with country fairs and festivals. Over time it became official and nowadays a run is operated usually on its own.
W: Hmm. What are the tougher courses like?
M: There’s a race called the Dragon’s Back, which takes place over five days and over a distance of 200 miles. But before you sign up for it, I should point out that only people with lots of experience are allowed to enter.
W: How can you get started in the sport?
M: Well, you start with something easy and work your way up to more challenging runs. If you want to enter races, you’ll find they’re graded in terms of distance and height. But just as people who do road running won’t necessarily run a marathon, you don’t have to enter mountain running races.

I’ve always wanted to go to New Zealand. So, when I saw an advertisement asking for people to work in a forest near Auckland, I applied. I was accepted and flew out to New Zealand in January. Eventually, there’s going to be a really big tourist center where we were in the forest. I thought I’d be staying in a wooden cottage, but in fact I was staying in a tent, which I shared with four other boys. It was summer, so I was a bit disappointed that the weather was rather wet and windy. The only thing I liked was the professional cook who made us great food. That’s important when you’re working outside all day.
Our main job was creating a path in the forest. They’ll need it when the tourist center opens to groups. I enjoyed getting the information to make a map of the forest area. That was a good experience for me. I’ll always remember how quiet the forest was early in the morning. The birds were singing as you expected but I couldn’t believe I could actually hear the rabbits. They ran around in the long grass early in the morning.
If you like the nature, and you want a taste of life outside a city, try this trip. You have to find the money for your own flight, but everything else, including special boots, is provided.

第二部分 阅读理解(共两节,满分35分)
第一节(共10小题;每小题2.5分,满分25分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
My kids sit in Gee’s living room and respectfully lift antique Christmas ornaments (装饰品) out of a cardboard box. They giggle at Ann, who is a foreign character to them. Gee stands beside them, quietly explaining each treasure. She tells me that she and Tom built their ornament collection piece by piece. She smiles as we leave with the box.
We first met Tom and Gee in the early days of our marriage. Someone had been returning our garbage cans to the garage each garbage day, and Jim and I had wondered who. Then one day we spotted him: an elderly man who lived across the street.
I baked cookies and left them outside with a thank-you note. When we got home that day, a typed letter had replaced the gift. The letter was from Tom and explained back when he’d been fighting a war, neighbors had taken the time to handle the garbage cans for his young wife, Gee, and he never forgot. Now he paid it forward by doing the same for all of us.
A few years after we’d moved in, Tom died. We photocopied that letter and attached it to one of our own for Gee. We told her how special Tom had been to us. She wrote back and told us she still talked to Tom every day.
These days, we’re piling up boxes of our own. We’re planning a move. We know it’s time to go, and yet we can’t seem to stick the For Sale sign up on the lawn. It’s not just Gee. It’s the man who lets our kids pick peaches off the tree in his front yard. It’s the ladies who leave overflowing baskets for our kids on Easter.
Jim and I agree to wait until January. This Christmas, we’ll decorate our tree with Gee’s
ornaments, out of the box labeled in Tom’s handwriting. Maybe I’ll talk to him just as Gee still does. Thank you, I’ll say. For teaching us what it means to be a neighbor.
21. What can we infer from the first paragraph?
A. The kids thought little of these antique Christmas ornaments.
B. The kids were fond of these antique Christmas ornaments.
C. The kids were afraid of these antique Christmas ornaments.
D. The kids had no interest in these antique Christmas ornaments.
22. Which of the following is true about Tom?
A. He fought a war from which the author suffered a lot.
B. He first met the author at her wedding.
C. He was an elderly man whose job was handling garbage cans.
D. He helped to handle his neighbors’ garbage cans secretly.
23. What could be the best title of this passage?
A. This is what Tom did for us.
B. This is why we didn’t want to move.
C. This is what it really means to be a neighbor.
D. This is how neighbors help each other.
【答案】21. B 22. D 23. C
【解析】

【23题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段最后一句For teaching us what it means to be a neighbor.“

概括主旨的方法是:先看首尾或各段开头再看全文找主题句,若无明显主题句,就通过关键词句来概括(如议论文中寻找表达作者观点态度的词句,记叙文寻找概括情节和中心的动词或反映人物特点的形容词)。文中出现两种或两种以上的不同观点时,务必牢记作者的观点才是体现全文中心的。本题第3小题,根据最后一段最后一句For teaching us what it means to be a neighbor.“感谢你教会我们什么是邻居。”可知C想为最佳主题。故选C。
B
Some people believe that international sport creates goodwill between the nations and that if countries play games together, they will learn to live together. Others say that the opposite is true: international competitions encourage false national pride and lead to misunderstanding and hatred (憎恨). There is probably some truth in both arguments, but in recent years the Olympic Games have done little to support the view that sport encourages international brotherhood. Not only was there the tragic incident including the murder of athletes, but the Games were also ruined by incidents caused mainly by smaller national contests.
One country received its second-place medals with visible anger after the hockey final. There had been noisy scenes at the end of the hockey match, the losers objecting to the final decisions. They were sure that one of their goals should not have been disallowed and that their opponents’ victory was unfair. Their manager was in great anger when he said, “This wasn’t hockey. Hockey and the International Hockey Federation are finished.” The president of the Federation said later that such behavior could result in the suspension (停赛) of the team for at least three years.
Incidents of this kind will continue as long as sport is played competitively rather than for the love of the game. The suggestion that athletes should compete as individuals, or in non-national teams, might be too much to hope for. But in the present organization of the Olympics there is far too much that encourages aggressive patriotism (爱国主义).
24. According to the author, recently the Olympic Games have ________.
A. created goodwill between the nations
B. brought about only false national pride
C. showed little international friendship
D. put an end to misunderstanding and hatred
25. What does the underlined word “disallowed” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Permitted to pass. B. Considered as reasonable.
C. Won by the other side. D. Refused to accept.
26. What conclusion can we draw from the passage?
A. The current organization of the Olympic Games must be improved.
B. Athletes should compete as individuals in the Olympic Games.
C. A game should be played competitively rather than for the love of the game.
D. More and more athletes will compete for their own honor.
【答案】24. C 25. D 26. A
【解析】

词义猜测题。根据英语中的构词法,allow是允许,dis-是表示否定意义的前缀,disallowed,不允许,故选D。
【26题详解】
主旨题:根据Incidents of this kind will continue as long as sport is played competitively rather than for the love of the game这句可推断出奥运会机构必须要改进,故选A。
C
Mobile phone users in China expected a pleasant surprise this month. Starting from October 1, a new policy adopted by the three giant cellphone operators — China Mobile, China Telecom and China Unicom — has allowed unused data from individual data packages to be carried over to the next month for use.
At the beginning, users of the three telecommunication companies welcomed this policy, since they would have more free data to use in the next month. However, even before Chinese users could enjoy the free extra package, the users found that since the adoption of the policy, the original data limits seem to be far more easily swallowed up, which means there wouldn’t be any unused data left for the next month. One user of China Unicom claimed that it took him only nine days to use up the
data package of a month.
Telecoms have become a necessity in modern life like water or power, and raising or lowering costs significantly affects people’s lives and finances. But disagreements between consumers and service providers cover discussion. It is too early to judge how long the disagreement between telecommunication companies and consumers over data packages will last, since, according to media reports, the measurement of data usage is difficult to track. Companies are using “user privacy” to avoid giving out any information.
But reading through the companies posted online by cellphone users, we can sense the public’s distrust of Stated-owned enterprises (SOEs). A survey done by the people’s Tribune Research Center in 2012 found that the public’s negative impression of SOEs came from the belief that they only rely on government support and their employees usually do easy jobs but get higher pay, yet their sense of service is far behind private and foreign enterprises.
The current argument over the data package of three State-owned telecommunication giants reflects the extent of public anger. Among the country’s anti-corruption campaign (反腐败运动) and reforms, it shows the public’s enthusiasm for deepening reforms and making SOEs benefit domestic consumers.
27. The attitude of the users towards the new policy of the three telecommunication companies at the beginning can be best described as ________.
A. indifferent B. opposed C. positive D. disappointed
28. What is the result of the new policy adopted by the three telecommunication companies?
A. Chinese phone users are allowed to send their unused data to their friends.
B. Chinese phone users are presented with much cheaper individual data packages.
C. Chinese phone users have no need to buy individual data packages.
D. Chinese phone users consume the data much sooner than expected.
29. Which of the following is NOT the public’s impression of SOEs?
A. SOEs are supported by the government to a large extent.
B. SOEs have benefited domestic consumers effectively.
C. SOEs’ employees don’t deserve the high pay.
D. SOEs’ service is worse than private and foreign enterprises.
30. The last paragraph most probably implies that ________.
A. the public are not satisfied with the reforms at present
B. the public do not care about the country’s reforms
C. the public think highly of anti-corruption campaign
D. the public are confident about the reform of SOEs
【答案】27. C 28. D 29. B 30. A
【解析】
【分析】
本文是一篇新闻报道。中国三大手机运营商——中国移动、中国电信和中国联通——采取了一项新政策,允许个人数据包中未使用的数据结转到下个月使用。目前围绕三大国有电信巨头数据包的争论反映了公众的愤怒程度。在中国的反腐运动和改革中,它显示了公众对深化改革、让国有企业惠及国内消费者的热情。
【27题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中第一句At the beginning, users of the three telecommunication companies welcomed this policy, since they would have more free data to use in the next month.可知,用户对这三家电信公司的新政策在开始时的态度可以说是积极的。故选C。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中However, even before Chinese users could enjoy the free extra package, the users found that since the adoption of the policy, the original data limits seem to be far more easily swallowed up, which means there wouldn’t be any unused data left for the next month.可知,这三家电信公司采取的新政策的结果是“中国手机用户使用这些数据的速度远远快于预期。”故选D。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中Research Center in 2012 found that the public’s negative impression of SOEs came from the belief that they only rely on government support and their employees usually do easy jobs but get higher pay, yet their sense of service is far behind private and foreign enterprises.可知,A/C/D项是公众对国企的印象,B项文中未提及。故选B。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中The current argument over the data package of three State-owned telecommunication giants reflects the extent of public anger. ---it shows the public’s enthusiasm for deepening reforms and making SOEs benefit domestic consumers.“
目前围绕三大国有电信巨头数据包的争论反映了公众的愤怒程度。在中国的反腐运动和改革中,它显示了公众对深化改革、让国有企业惠及国内消费者的热情。”可知,最后一段很可能暗示公众对目前的改革不满意。故选A。
【点睛】推理判断题要求在理解原文表面文字信息的基础上,做出一定的推理判断,从而得到文章的隐含意义和深层意义。推理判断题所涉及的内容可能是文中的某一句话,也可能是某几句话,所以,推理题的答案只能是根据原文表面文字信息一步推出的答案:即对原文某一句话或某几句话所作的同义改写或综合。推理判断题的题干中通常含infer,suggest,imply,conclude indicate等标志性词语。本题第2小题,根据第二段中However, even before Chinese users could enjoy the free extra package, the users found that since the adoption of the policy, the original data limits seem to be far more easily swallowed up, which means there wouldn’t be any unused data left for the next month.可知,这三家电信公司采取的新政策的结果是“中国手机用户使用这些数据的速度远远快于预期。”故选D。

57. that/which
58. It 59. unusual
60. from 61. designed
62. The 63. also
64. hiding 65. codes
【解析】
【分析】
本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍the National Cryptologic Museum。在那里你会发现曾经是秘密的信息。历史上,人们一直使用密码来保护重要信息。
【56题详解】
考查一般现在时态的被动语态。句意:它被称为国家密码博物馆。此处It 和call之间是一种被动关系,这里在说一个事实,所以用一般现在时态的被动语态,故答案为is called。
【57题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:在那里你会发现曾经是秘密的信息。此处information是先行词,指物,在后面的定语从句中作主语,故答案为that/which。
【58题详解】
考查it的用法。句意:它不仅讲述了密码学的故事,还讲述了从事这一不寻常职业的男男女女。此处用it指代The National Cryptology Museum,故答案为it。
【59题详解】
考查形容词。句意:它不仅讲述了密码学的故事,还讲述了从事这一不寻常职业的男男女女。故答案为unusual。
【60题详解】
考查介词。句意:密码学一词来源于希腊语“kryptos logos”。come from“来自---”,故答案为from。
【61题详解】
考查过去分词做后置定语。句意:密码学是一种写作或交流的方法,旨在隐藏你的话的意思。此处ways 和design之间是一种被动关系,是过去分词作后置定语,故答案为designed。
【62题详解】
考查定冠词the。句意:博物馆里有很多曾经用来保密的设备。此处特指上文提到的博物馆,故答案为The。
【63题详解】
考查副词。根据上文的has many examples of equipment可知“它也有---”,故答案为also。
【64题详解】
考查动名词。句意:隐藏确切含义的方法叫做编码。介词后面用动名词作宾语,故答案为hiding。
【65题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:历史上,人们一直使用密码来保护重要信息。结合句意可知此处用名词复数,故答案为codes。
【点睛】分析定语从句关键抓住两点:第一、找准先行词;第二、看先行词在定语从句中所作的成分。先行词往往为名词或代词,如本题第2小题中先行词为名词information
,再分析先行词information在定语从句中所作的成分,将先行词information带到从句中可知,只能主语,故确定关系词that/which。

第二节 读后续写(满分25分)
67.阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
It was a Saturday afternoon. The color of the sky was changing, first light gray, then dark gray, and finally dark and dense. The wind was blowing heavily, and the trees were swaying in the strong wind. It began to rain cats and dogs. Soon, the road was filled with puddles from the rain.
On such a stormy afternoon, my mother took my five-year-old brother, Christopher, and me to a new big toy store she had read about in the newspaper. “So many toys,” the advertisement had shouted in full and flashy color, “that we had to get a huge warehouse to fit them all!”
Christopher and I couldn’t have been more excited. We ran across the parking lot, through the cold and biting rain, as fast as our little legs could carry us. We left our mother outside to battle with the frustrating umbrella, which never worked when she wanted it to. “Christine! Take care of your young brother!” Mother shouted at the top of her voice.
“Christine! I’m going to find the Lego section (乐高积木区)! There’s a new pirate ship I want, and I have four dollars! Maybe I can buy it!” Christopher exclaimed and ran off excitedly. I only half heard him. I took a right turn and, to my wide-eyed delight, found myself in the midst of the Barbie (芭比) World.
I was studying a Barbie and doing some simple math in my head when suddenly an earthshaking
clap of thunder roared from the storm outside. I jumped at the noise, dropping the doll to the floor. The lights flickered (闪烁) once and died, covering everything in a blanket of blackness. Thunder continued to shake the sky and lightning illuminated the store for seconds, casting frightening shadows on my mind.
注意:
1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右;
2. 至少使用5个短文中标有下划线的关键词语;
3. 续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好;
4. 续写完成后,请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。
Paragraph 1:
“Oh no,” I thought, “Where’s Christopher?”
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph2:
“Christine, I’m here.”
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】“Oh no,” I thought, “Where’s Christopher?” Scared, I was frozen to the spot, overcome with the need to see my brother, to hug and make certain he was all right. My stomach twisted and turned inside. I ran up and down the aisles through the darkness, panic filling my small chest and making it
difficult to breathe. I knocked into displays of candy and tripped over toys, all the while frantically calling my brother’s name. Anxious as I was, I could barely see his figure. Tears of frustration and fear trickled down my face, but I continued to run.
“Christine, I’m here.” Excitement took my breath away — there in the dark Lego aisle I found Christopher. He was standing alone, perfectly still, clutching tightly to the pirate ship set. I began to cry out from relief, throwing my arms around him and hugged him tightly. He hugged me back, saying,“I knew if I waited here, Christine, you would be able to find me.” Then, I took his hand in mine and we went to find our mother, who must be desperately searching the store for us.
【解析】
【分析】
本文属于续写。
【详解】第一段所给首句“Oh no,” I thought, “Where’s Christopher?”,这一句是故事发展的转折点,从作者找哥哥入手,展开叙述。可知想象作者迫切地想见到哥哥,在黑暗的过道里来回跑,见不到哥哥的身影,沮丧和恐惧的泪水顺着脸流下来,但作者还是继续寻找哥哥。无论从和角度拓展,需注意与注意与续写第二段首句呼应。
第二段首句“Christine, I’m here.”这一句是“答语”,呼应前文的找哥哥。作者听到了哥哥的回答,应该是非常兴奋,作者拉着哥哥的手去找妈妈,因为她一定在拼命地找他们。
【点睛】本文是一篇续写,段落衔接紧密,前后呼应,符合故事情节的发展。同时文中使用高级句子。Anxious as I was, I could barely see his figure.句中使用as引导的让步状语从句;Tears of frustration and fear trickled down my face, but I continued to run.表示转折的并列句;He was standing alone, perfectly still, clutching tightly to the pirate ship set.现在分词作伴随状语;Then, I took his hand in mine and we went to find our mother, who must be desperately searching the store for us.句中使用who引导的定语从句。
