In 1989,Chito Shedden,a fisherman from Siquirres,Costa Rica,was walking along a fiver bank when he spotted a dying crocodile,which had been shot through the head.Chito acted quickly,asking several brave friends to load the heavy reptile(爬行动物)into his boat.He named the huge reptile,“Pocho”and began to care for him in his own backyard.
- 16 -
In time,Pocho improved enough to return to normal health.It was time for him to return to his own river in the wild.Chito and his friends loaded the crocodile back into his boat and released him in a nearby fiver.The next morning,however,something incredible happened…
When Chito awoke the next morning and walked outside,he found Pocho sleeping at the door.The crocodile had swum down the fiver and followed him home.It seemed to Chito that Pocho had made his choice.He wanted to live with the man who had saved his life.
As time marched on,Pocho became a member of the family.Sometimes,Chito tried calling his name.The crocodile responded,and the fisherman knew he could be trained…Chito worked with Pocho for 10 years before he started to become more playful.It was a slow and challenging process.
Now,the two are inseparable.Every day,Chito wades out into the chest-deep water in his 100 square meters lake and calls out for his friend,who appears from beneath the muddy depths to roll about and play with his keeper.The unique ritual(老规矩)has drawn the attention of tourists from around the world
Every Sunday afternoon for the past few decades,Chito and Pocho have performed a weekly act in his own backyard before hundreds of tourists.Many tourists travel to Siquirres only to see the show.The trust relationship between man and reptile is highlighted by the water wrestling,belly rubs,and hand feeding that the two friends engage in during the show.

Self-driving cars are so popular that the University of Michigan has even established a town called Mcity to allow car manufacturers to safely test their autonomous cars.
While Mcity can be used to simulate(模拟)many real-life road conditions,it cannot help test gestures drivers use to communicate their intention to other drivers,pedestrians or cyclists.To find a solution,US car manufacturer Ford,with researchers from Virginia Tech,initially considered using text as a way to communicate the car's intention,but decided it would probably not work universally.The option of using symbols was also discarded,because research shows that a majority of people do not have a good understanding of what they mean.
Finally,the researchers settled on light signals.A white light warned that there were no humans in the car. A slow blinking one indicated that the car was coming to a stop,while a rapidly flashing light cautioned passersby that the car was about to accelerate.
Then came the big challenge—testing the signals on real roads.“We needed to try out this new lighting to communicate the intention of the vehicle,but if you’ve got a driver behind the seat,you still have natural communication between humans,”said Andy Shaudt,who led the Virginia Tech research team.“So we needed to make it look like a driverless ear.”
The team designed a car seat costume(戏装)that the driver would wear to cover his/her face and upper body.Of course,the drivers could see very clearly.The researchers then equipped the car with cameras to capture human reactions to a light bar on the windshield(挡风玻璃),which flashed one of the three signals when appropriate.Six drivers,all keeping their hands low on the wheel so as not to be detected,took turns to test driving the car through the busy streets.
The overall reaction to the flashing lights was very encouraging.Who knew costumes could be useful for more than Halloween?
28.What did the team first consider using as a way to communicate the car's intention?
A.Light. B.Language. C.Symbols. D.Sound.
29.The underlined word“they”in the second paragraph refers to_______.
A.svmbo1s B.drivers C.researchers D.flashes
30.What does a rapidly flashing light mean?
A.The car was coming to a stop. B.There was no driver in the car.
C.The car was about to speed up. D.The car was about to slow down.
31.The car seat costume was intended to_______.
A.amuse the driver B.attract the pedestrians
C.warn the cyclists D.confuse the people
D
Columbus Day has been on American calendars since 1937,when President Franklin D.Roosevelt declared October 12 a federal holiday to honor the Italian explorer who“discovered”the Americas in 1492.However,the holiday has always been controversial.Many people believe that Christopher Columbus should not be given credit for“discovering”the continent,since native
- 16 -
Americans had already been living there for generations.
Besides,the explorer,s mission was not a scientific“voyage of discovery”,but one intended to conquer the new land.Critics maintain that the Spanish army Columbus brought on his second voyage,caused the deaths of hundreds of thousands of indigenous(土著的)people.Those that survived the massacre became slaves,working in mines.Many,therefore,believe that the explorer's arrival should not be celebrated.
In 1977,a delegation of Native nations at the International Conference on Discrimination Against Indigenous Populations in the Americas,proposed renaming the holiday to“Indigenous People’s Day”.The proposal passed with a majority.
However,convincing the rest of the country to do the same was not that easy.It took 15 years before the city of Berkeley in California adopted the name in 1992 and then 22 more years before Minneapolis,MN and Seattle,WA did the same in 2014.The following year,eight more cities including Albuquerque,NM and Portland,OR,began celebrating the second Monday of October as“Indigenous People’s Day”. The movement really started to gain momentum in 2016 when 19 cities,including Boulder,CO and Phoenix,AZ,as well as the states of Minnesota and Vermont,a11 decided to rename the day to honor Native Americans.In 2017,21 more cities,including Austin,TX and Los Angeles,CA have made the shih.
With the increasingly larger number of cities moving away from Columbus Day each year,it will be interesting to see if“Indigenous People’s Day”gets federal recognition.Meanwhile,it will continue to be the focal point of debates throughout the Americas.
32.Which of the following is the best title of the passage?
A.Indigenous People’s Day Has Got Federal Recognition after Years’Work
B.Columbus Day Honoring the Italian Explorer Has Always Been Controversial
C.Christopher Columbus Should Not Be Given Credit for Discovering Americas
D.More Cities Have Replaced Columbus Day with Indigenous People’s Day
33.Many people don’t agree that________.
A.Indigenous discovered the continent
B.Columbus was a remarkable explorer
C.Native Americans were abused
D.Columbus Day is a public holiday
34.What can we infer from the second paragraph?
A.Columbus was well received by indigenous people.
B.The indigenous people hated the Columbus’arrival.
C.The Spanish army rebelled against Columbus’rule.
D.Few soldiers survived the attack by native Americans.
35.Which of the following cities is the earliest to replace Columbus Day with Indigenous People’s Day?
- 16 -
A.Portland. B.Phoenix. C.Seattle. D.Los Angeles.

Hobbies let you explore interests outside your work.They make you be creative and try all kinds of new things. 36 How can you choose the hobby that suits you from these options? Here are some tips.
Look at what interests you.And examine what takes up your spare time,when you have it.Do you enjoy reading books? Maybe you want to try your hand at writing them.37
38 Do you value wisdom or courage? Do you admire artistic expression? Let those traits(特点)guide you when choosing a hobby.For instance,you could take up painting because you admire people who can express themselves with art.
Examine your skills and personality.Certain hobbies require certain skill sets.If you don’t have a great deal of patience,then maybe hand sewing isn’t something you’d enjoy.However,if you love building things,maybe you should consider a hobby like working on older cars or building furniture. 39
Pay attention to what excites your passion.The way you talk about issues can also reveal your passions and those passions can be developed into a hobby.Think about the topics you go on endlessly about. 40 Now,think about what it is about that subject that you enjoy so much and determine how it can be transformed into a hobby.For instance,maybe you are passionate about local politics,and getting involved in the community voluntary work could become your hobby.

The first reason for outdoor activities is that I have spent too much time indoors. Most of the time I sit in the classroom, listen to the teachers and do my exercises. The outdoor activities are too limited. Fresh air, sunlight and most important, enough physical exercises are
- 16 -
needed for a healthy body. So when I am free, I should go out. The second reason is that I want to have more experience in my life. When you go out, far away from your daily life, you will meet a lot of people who are quite different from you. It will give you a lot of exciting experience.
However, outdoor activities will take a lot of money and energy. So if you have not prepared enough, having some amusement indoors is also a good choice, which may be much cheaper and easy to carry out. Reading some books and enjoying music are also very good.

33.A 细节理解题。根据第一段Many people believe that Christopher Columbus should not be given credit for “discovering” the continent, since Native Americans had already been living there for generations可知很多人认为哥伦布不应该因为“发现”新大陆而受到称赞。因为美洲土著人在哥伦布来到之前已经在美洲大陆生活了很多年。
34. B 推理判断题。根据第二段that the Spanish army Columbus brought on his second voyage, caused the deaths of hundreds of thousands of indigenous(土著的) people. Those that survived the massacre became slaves,working in mines可知哥伦布带来的西班牙军队屠杀了成千上万的土著人,幸存下来的土著人被迫当奴隶或在矿山干活。可见土著人是憎恨哥伦布的到来的。
35. C 细节理解题。根据第四段可知在这四个城市中,Seattle(西雅图)是最早用“土著人日”取代“哥伦布日”的城市。
本文是一篇说明文。文章就“如何找到适合于自己的爱好”的话题提出了四条建议。
36. E 后面一句How can you choose the hobby that suits you from these options?有提示。故可判断本句是讲“爱好选择”的。故选E项。
37. D 本段主要讲把喜欢的东西变成爱好。D项符合要求。
38. B 本处需要一个主题句。本段反复提到了value,admire等词汇,故可判断本段讲的是“考虑一下你最珍惜的东西是什么”。故选B。
39. A 本处需要一个结论句。本段主要讲“要考虑自己的技能和个性,发挥自己的特长”。A项符合结论句的要求。
40. F 本段主要讲“什么能激发你的激情?你谈论最多的话题通常能透露你的激情所在”,F项(问问朋友和家人你谈得最多的是什么?)符合句意。
本文是一篇记叙文。作者在生了孩子以后,原来定期的锻炼运动中断了。作者也对那些所谓的“新母亲健美菜单”也提不起兴趣。最终,作者决定参加在秘鲁原始森林里举行的远足活动。这次活动作者收获不少,感触良多。她意识到团队锻炼活动远比个人独自运动效果好得多。
41.C 语境提到“经常锻炼,健身房”,因此这里表示作者在家里跟着DVD锻炼,因此选C。
42. B动词短语appeal to在此意为“对……有吸引力”,符合句意。contribute to“导致,引起”;cater to“迎合,满足”;object to“反对”。
43. A 作者决定报名参加在秘鲁举行的一次远足旅行活动。
44. D 作者希望这次远足旅行活动能使自己“动起来”,get sb./sth. moving是固定短语。
45. B scan在此是“扫描,看到”之意。在出发前,作者浏览了一下行程安排表,看到了诸如“原始森林远足3小时”、“沿瀑布滑绳而下”之类的语句。
46. C“穿过原始森林”应用介词through。

47. D 看到这些具有挑战性的词语,作者感到有点担心。
48. A be rewarded with在此意为“得到……的奖赏”。符合句意。
49. B形容词awesome在此意为“令人敬畏的,极好的”,符合句意。awful“可怕的”;accessible“可达到的”;still“静止的”。
50. D 这群由陌生人组成的团队激励着“我”前行。
51. A 后面一句or the valley below有提示,故可判断此空应指的是“山顶”。
52. B which在此引导一个非限定性定语从句,先行词为前面一句所表达的内容。
53. D 后面作者引用了两位专家的说法来证明自己的观点,故选D。expert意为“专家”,符合句意。
54. B团队锻炼活动比单独锻炼活动效果会更好。workout在此用作名词,意为“锻炼”。
55. D只有fitness与“锻炼”相关。fitness意为“健美”,符合句意。
56. A 这是因为团队里其他的人既提供了鼓励同时也形成了竞争的态势。
57. D 人是社交动物。social在此意为“社交的,群居的”,符合句意。
58. C副词together在此是“一起,共同地”,符合句意。
59. D 考查原词复现。前文That’s because other people 56 both support and competition有提示。
60. B 有了团队的支持,“我”又慢慢地恢复了健康的生活方式。
本文是一篇记叙文。本文讲述了美国飓风中心的飞行员们在飓风形成之际,驾驶飞机,飞进风暴,收集气象数据的故事。
61.flying考查非谓语动词。avoid 后面要求接动名词作宾语。
62.directly考查副词。应用副词修饰动词。
63.the考查冠词。形容词最高级前面应加定冠词the。
64.caused考查时态。根据前面的时间状语Last month可知此处应用一般过去时态。
65.over考查介词。介词over 在此表示“在……的上方”。
66.miles考查名词复数。根据前面的150可知,其后的名词应用复数形式。
67.before考查连词。Price和机组人员在飓风登陆之前飞进了风暴,故用连词before引导一个时间状语从句。
68.attached考查非谓语动词。过去分词作定语,修饰tubes。
69.is sent 考查动词时态和语态。send和information存在动宾关系,故用被动语态形式。此处讲的是一般性的情况。故填is sent。
70. dangerous考查词性转换。应用形容词作表语。

Dear Eric,
How time flies! It is time for me to graduate from college. Instead of finding a stable job in a big company, I would like to start my own business. I am planning to set up a company, selling books in foreign languages. Sales will be conducted online and offline. I will set up a bookshop near our university. At the same time books will also be sold online.
As you know, there is no bookshop selling books in the original language nearby. As a result, it is very difficult for teachers and students to buy books in foreign languages. I think this is a good business opportunity. Besides, majoring in English literature, I have advantages over others to do so.
As an employment adviser, what do you think of my plan? I’m looking forward to your advice.
Yours,
Li Hua www.ks5u.com
