第一节（共 15 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 30 分）
A
There are many places to go on safari in Africa, but riding a horse through the
flooded waters of Botswana's Okavango Delta must rank as one of the world's most exciting wildlife journeys.
Several safari camps operate as the base for this adventure, providing unique rides
twice a day to explore deep into the delta. The camps have excellent horses,
professional guides and lots of support workers. They have a reputation for providing a
great riding experience.
The morning ride, when the guides take you to beautiful, shallow lakes full of water
lilies, tends to be more active. It is unlike any other riding experience. With rainbows
forming in the splashing water around you and the sound of huge drops of water
bouncing off your body and face. It is truly exciting. You are very likely to come across
large wild animals, too. On horseback it is possible to get quite close to elephants,
giraffes and many other animals. The sense of excitement and tension levels rise
suddenly though, as does your heart rate, as you move closer to them.
In the evening, rides are usually at a more relaxed and unhurried pace. With golden
light streaming across the grassy delta and the animals coming out to eat and drink.
Sedate though they are, rides at this time of day are still very impressive. As the sun's
rays pass through the dust kicked up by the horses, the romance of Africa comes to life.
Back at the camp you can kick off your boots and enjoy excellent food and wine.
Looking back on your day, you will find it hard to deny that a horseback Safari is as
close as you will ever come to answering the call of the wild.
21.What does the author find most exciting about a horse safari?
A. Seeing and feeling the real African life.
B. Enjoying good food and wine at the camp.
C. Hunting large animals just as our ancestors did.
D. Being part of the scene and getting close to animals.
22.What does the underlined word "sedate" probably mean?
A. Wild and romantic. B. Slow and
peaceful.
C. Hurry and thirsty. D. Active
and excited.
23.The author introduced the riding experience in the Okavango Delta mainly by ________.
A. following space order B. following time
order
C. making classifications D. giving examples
B
In the US, many people prefer sports and sports are not just for fun. They’re
almost a “religion”. Thousands of sports fans buy expensive tickets to watch their
favorite teams and athletes play in person. Other fans watch the games at home, sticking
to their TV sets, never missing a game. Many a wife becomes a “sports widow” during
her husband’s favorite season. Americans’ devotion to sports has created a new class of
wealthy people: professional athletes. Sports stars often receive million dollar salaries.
Some even make big money by appearing in advertisements for soft drinks, shoes and
almost everything.
Sports are an important part of American culture. Throughout their school life,
Americans learn to play many sports. Many students try out for the school teams.
Athletic events at universities attract scores of fans and benefit the whole community.
Many people also enjoy noncompetitive activities, like hiking, cycling, horseback
riding, camping or hunting.
Many sports were imported from other countries. Europeans brought tennis, golf,
bowling and boxing to America. Football and baseball came from other Old World
games. Only basketball has a truly American origin. Americans export sports fever as
well. Satellites broadcast games to sports fans around the globe. NBA is a good
example. The names of American superstars like basketball great Michael Jordan have
become household words all over the world.

One day when I was 12, my mother gave me an order: I was to walk to the public
library, and borrow at least one book for the summer. This was one more weapon for
her to defeat my strange problem—inability to read.
In the library, I found my way into the “Children’s Room.” I sat down on the floor
and pulled a few books off the shelf at random. The cover of a book caught my eye. It
presented a picture of a beagle. I had recently had a beagle, the first and only animal
companion I ever had as a child. He was my secret sharer, but one morning, he was
gone, given away to someone who had the space and the money to care for him. I never
forgot my beagle.
There on the book’s cover was a beagle which looked identical (相同的) to my
dog. I ran my fingers over the picture of the dog on the cover. My eyes ran across the
title, Amos, the Beagle with a Plan. Unknowingly, I had read the title. Without opening
the book, I borrowed it from the library for the summer.
Under the shade of a bush, I started to read about Amos. I read very, very slowly
with difficulty. Though pages were turned slowly, I got the main idea of the story about a dog who, like mine, had been separated from his family and who finally found his
way back home. The dog was my dog, and I was the little boy in the book. At the end of
the story, my mind continued the final scene of reunion, on and on, until my own lost
dog and I were, in my mind, running together.
My mother’s call returned me to the real world. I suddenly realized something: I
had read a book, and I had loved reading that book. Everyone knew I could not read.
But I had read it. Books could be incredibly wonderful and I was going to read them.
I never told my mother about my “miraculous” ( 奇 迹 般 的 ) experience that
summer, but she saw a slow but remarkable improvement in my classroom performance
during the next year. And years later, she was proud that her son had read thousands of
books, was awarded a PhD in literature, and authored his own books, articles, poetry
and fiction. The power of the words was held.
28.The author’s mother told him to borrow a book in order to .
A. encourage him to do more walking
B. let him spend a meaningful summer
C. help cure him of his reading problems
D. make him learn more about weapons
29.The book caught the author’s eye because .
A. it contained pretty pictures of animals
B. it reminded him of his own dog
C. he found its title easy to understand
D. he liked children’s stories very much
30.Why could the author manage to read the book through?
A. He was forced by his mother to read it.
B. The happy ending of the story attracted him.
C. The book told the story of his pet dog.
D. He identified with the story in the book.
31.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. The author has become a successful writer.
B. The author’s mother read the same book.C. The author’s mother rewarded him with books.
D. The author has had happy summers ever since.
D
“Clothes Swapping”has become an increasingly popular activity for women in the
United States. The women can give away unwanted clothing at a clothes swap event and
get something different in return.
Recently about 300 women went to a clothes swap at a high school in Springfield,
Virginia. It was the largest crowd ever for the area’s popular clothing-swapping group.
Daphne Steinberg was having a good day.“For anyone who knows Ann Taylor LOFT,
Ann Taylor is a really nice women’s designer and I will totally wear this to work. So I
love that, I love that I can equip myself for work, have a good time in doing it, not
totally bankrupt myself.”
Sandy Van Dusen likes the idea that clothes are finding new homes instead of being
thrown away. “Because it helps to keep the Earth green. There’s no point in my opinion
in continuing to buy new clothes when we can reuse what’s already here. Give it a new
home--- let somebody else love what you used to love and no longer love.”
Kim Pratt organized the clothing-swapping event in Springfield. She also organized a
money-raising activity for the high school’s debate team. It is one of several ways that
her group gives to charitable causes. Another is by donating all of the“un-swapped”
clothing to shelters for victims of domestic violence.
“I started doing this four years ago, and we’ve been doing it for four years, getting
bigger and bigger each time we have a swap.”
She used the social media website meetup.com to help publicize the events. The
website has helped her group grow from 30 members to 1,300. Mrs.Pratt says most of
the members respect the clothing swap rules. But she say competition for desirable
fashion can be strong.
“We have to tell people sometimes not to hover over the new people coming in with
their clothing. As they put it out, some people tend to grab the stuff right out of their
hands and it becomes like a free-for-all. We try to avoid that as much as possible.”
32.At a clothes swap what can women do?A. Make some money by giving away unwanted clothing
B. Buy whatever clothing they like
C. Have a social gathering and make friends
D. Exchange unwanted clothing for something different
33.What can be learnt from what Daphne Steinberg said?
A. The clothes swap was the largest ever in the area
B. She got some nice clothes at the clothes swap
C. It was the first time she had been to a clothes swap
D. She saved much more money than she had expected
34.What is Paragraph 5 mainly about?
A. How Kim Pratt raised money to help charitable causes
B. How Kim Pratt started the clothing-swapping event.
C. What Kim Pratt did to help people in need.
D. What Kim Pratt did with the un-swapped clothes.
35.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Clothes swaps often go out of control in the end
B. Clothes-swapping is becoming increasingly popular with women
C. Improper behavior at clothes swaps needs to be controlled
D. More clothing swapping events need to be organized

How to get siblings (兄弟姐妹) to get along
One of the greatest gifts of parenthood is seeing your children form a relationship
with each other that is independent of you. By giving them someone else to play with,
you can free up some time for yourself. Here are four techniques you can use to help
your children appreciate each other while they’re young.
1. 36. The No.1 thing parents can do to help their kids stay on good terms with each
other is not to compare them with each other. Never say “Your sister never…” or “Why can’t you do what your brother does?” 37.
2. Stay out of the way. Try not to get too involved in your kids’ arguments. Learning
cooperation and problem-solving is an important skill in life.38.And don’t blame the
older one for not “knowing better.” That puts pressure on the older child and leads to
unhappiness.
3. Activities and opportunities. Have your kids go to their siblings’ games and activities.
39.
“My kids go to each other’s activities, and take part in activities together,” says Patricia
Walters-Fischer, mother of two. Not only do her children go, but they also offer
support, encouraging each other before a big game or performance and offering comfort
when things don’t go well.
4. Vacations. Don’t ignore the value of a family vacation for bringing siblings together.
When kids are away from their friends and forced to spend time together, they often
enjoy each other. 40. In fact, a weekend camping trip offers some of the best
opportunities for working together, having fun and experiencing something new.
A. Never shout at them.
B. Don’t compare.
C. It doesn’t need to be anything extremely great.
D. That only serves to fuel the competition.
E. Give them a project, and they will learn how to work together.
F. They may need help solving a conflict, but try not to take sides.
G. Get them involved in one another’s lives, so they can have a better appreciation of
who their sibling is.

The problem of “white pollution” was caused by using plastic is becoming
increasingly serious, on which plastic shopping bags play an important role. In China,
about three billions plastic shopping bags are consumed every day, that results in a great
waste of resources and heavy environmental pollution. Lucky, the government has put a
nationwide ban on the use of free plastic bags, demand that no stores or supermarkets

Dear friends,
With more and more cars coming into our families, we are happy that it has
greatly improved our life. But unluckily, it has also brought many problems, such as
heavy traffic and traffic accidents. I wonder if you have considered what we should do
as senior students? I hope you won’t mind my giving you some suggestions as follows.
Firstly, We must obey the traffic rules. For example, we must walk on walk side.
When we cross the zebra-crossing, we should stop, look right and left, and then go
across fast. Secondly, don’t play football on the road, which will be a threat to both you
and the others pedestrians. Thirdly, we can tell our parents not to drink before they
drive, not to run through red lights, not to talk and laugh while driving.
All in all, only when everybody thinks traffic safety is everybody’s business can we be safely driving on roads and walking on sidewalks. Thank you for reading my
suggestions.
Yours truly,
Li Hua
