A
A trip to London
My family had dreamed of a trip to London for a long time. Luckily it was
possible for us to realize our dream because all of us were free on the weekend.
We planned to drive into Cambridge and caught the 7: 34 train to Liverpool Street
Station.Then my wife and I would separate from Joan, my wife’s sister, to do different
things and finally meet again for lunch. And after lunch, we would go to the concert.
But we were late because of a thick London fog. The train had to move along so
slowly that it was not until 10:30 that it got there. In spite of our late arrival, Joan
decided that she would go to see the Crown Jewels in the Tower of London while we
went shopping. It was only after her sister had disappeared into the fog that my wife
realized that we hadn’t decided where we should meet for lunch. Since I had our three
tickets for the concert in my pocket, this was indeed a problem. We didn’t have any
mobile phones at that time. There seemed to be nothing we could do except taking a
taxi to the Tower of London, and try to find her there. Needless to say, we didn’t find
her.
It was now one o’clock, and the concert began at 2: 30. “Perhaps she will think
of waiting outside the concert hall,” said my wife hopefully. By this time the fog was
so thick that road traffic had to stop, and the only way to get there was by subway.
Hand in hand we felt our way along the road to where we thought the nearest station
should be. An hour later we were still trying to find it.Just when I was about to
become angry, we met a blind man tapping his way confidently through the fog. With
his help we found the subway station which was just fifty meters down the road.
By now it was far too late to get to the concert hall before the performance began
at 2: 30, so we decided to return to Cambridge. It took seven hours instead of the
usual two to make that journey. Nor were we able to get any food and drink on the
train. We were tired and hungry.
We finally reached home at ten. Opening the door we were amazed to find Joan
at home; she had seen the Crown Jewels, had managed to get another ticket for
concert, and had had a wonderful dinner at a restaurant. Of course, she managed to
get home, too. Oh my god!
31. What did the writer plan to do after lunch that day?
A. Go to the concert. B. Return to Cambridge.
C. Go shopping. D. See the Crown Jewels.
32. The writer and his wife separated from Joan because _______.
A. they were late for the concert
B. Joan didn’t want to go to the concert
C. there was a thick fog
D. they planned to do different things until lunch time
33. Who helped the writer find the subway station?
A. A taxi driver. B. A blind man. C. His wife. D. Joan.

High-Wire Act
Mickey Wilson had been on the mountain only a few seconds when he heard the
scream. Wilson, 28 years old, had just gotten off the cable car ( 索道缆车 ) at the
Arapahoe Basin Ski Area in Keystone, Colorado, along with his
friends Billy Simmons and Hans Mueller. Their friend Richard had been on the cable
car ahead of them, but when the men reached the top of the lift, he had disappeared. The
men walked toward the source of the scream and found skiers stopped on the slope,
pointing to the cable car. And then the friends screamed too.
“Oh, Richard!” yelled Mueller.
When Richard had tried to jump off the cable car, his backpack had been caught in
the chair, which then dragged him back down the hill. In the process, the backpack belt
twisted around his neck, making him breathless. Now Richard’s body was swinging four
feet above the snow. The cable car operator had quickly stopped it, and the friends
kicked off their skis and ran toward the scene. They made a human pyramid to try to
reach Richard, but the unconscious man was too far off the ground. With the clock
ticking, Wilson ran to the ladder of a nearby lift tower. Scared skiers watched as he
struggled the 25 feet. After he reached the top, Wilson’s first challenge was to climb
onto the two-inch steel cable that held the chairs. He handled the balance and height
bravely, but he knew he could not walk on the cable. Therefore, he calmed down and
sat over it and then used his hands to pull himself to Richard quickly. Wilson’s greatest
fear wasn’t that he’d fall, but that he wouldn’t reach Richard. “This was life or death,”
he said.
When he reached Richard’s chair, Wilson swung a leg over the cable and attempted
to drop down onto it. But as he did that, his jacket caught on the movable footrest, which
was in the up position. The footrest began to slide down, with Wilson attached. But
before that could happen, he managed to free himself and reached Richard.
Fortunately, the ski patrol (巡查) had gathered below and performed emergency
treatment on Richard, who had been hanging for about five minutes, then skied him
down to an ambulance.
That night, Richard called from the hospital to express his thanks to Wilson, his
other friends and the workers at the Arapahoe Basin Ski Area.
34. What happened to Richard when he tried to jump off the cable car?
A. He was sick and became unconscious.
B. He left his skis which stopped the cable car.
C. He was too afraid to move forward in the cable car.
D. He was caught by the neck, hanging down the cable.
35. How did Richard survive?
A. People worked together and saved him.
B. Wilson climbed on the cable and saved him.
C. The ski patrol got him down and treated him.
D. Skiers treated him and carried him to the hospital.
36. The author wrote the fourth paragraph to show that _______.
A. the rescue process was dangerous
B. something was wrong with the cable car
C. Wilson could manage the process very well
D. the operator of the cable car ignored his duty
37. The story at the Arapahoe Basin Ski Area mainly tells us ______.
A. it is very dangerous to go skiing
B. he that climbs high often falls heavily
C. bravery and calm can help you make a difference
D. a person with a great talent always has great will-power
C
You can’t walk into the office without Rihanna’s voice singing “work work work
work work work” in your head. And that one line from Lady Gaga’s “Bad Romance”
still makes you want to scream. These are commonly known as earworm songs—those
sticky tunes that continue to play in your head. A recent study finds that more than 90%
of adults report hearing earworm songs on a weekly basis.
Fortunately, most people report earworm songs as pleasant. But others find them
annoying or even maddening. “Some people are troubled by them to the point that it
disturbs life,” says Elizabeth Hellmuth Margulis, a professor at the University of
Arkansas who has studied earworm songs.
Margulis says earworm songs tend to have some predictable characteristics. For one
thing, they tend to be small parts of a song—not the whole track. And “the songs you’ve
heard recently also have the most possibility to get stuck in your memory,” she says.
But sometimes something strange and unpredictable can also start a track playing
in your head. “Once I was at the doctor’s office and saw a poster of a man who I thought
looked like Gaston—a character from Beauty and the Beast,” Margulis recalls. A couple
minutes passed, and she realized she couldn’t get “Be Our Guest”, the song in the movie,
out of her head, even though she hadn’t thought of the tune in years. In that instance,
she was able to identify her earworm’s trigger: the Gaston-looking man in the poster.
“But the connections can be really unclear,” she says.
Margulis points out that, in all of human history, recorded music is a very new
phenomenon. She says some have inferred that earworm songs are also new—the
unintended consequence of being able to hear the same song played everywhere in the
same way over and over again. So far, the convincing explanation for why human beings
experience earworm songs remains a mystery. But there are some well-established ways
to cast off the earworm songs.
“Finding a mentally demanding task and putting your mind on it usually shifts
attention away from internal music. People tend to get earworms when performing tasks
that don’t require their full attention—stuff like doing the dishes,” Margulis says.
Chewing gum can also help. When a song is stuck in our heads, it’s almost like
we’re singing along with it. If you make your mouth do something else—chewing gum,
eating a meal or talking with a friend—that can kick out the earworm.
You could also face your enemy. By listening to the full track that includes the
passage stuck in your head, you may find “closure” and relief.
38. Which of the following is most likely to be an earworm song?
A. A song made up of simple words.
B. A song heard frequently these days.
C. A song sung by a most famous singer.
D. A song learned during one’s childhood.
39. What does the underlined word “trigger” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A. Type. B. Tune. C. Cause. D. Characteristic.
40. We can infer that earworm songs may _______.
A. result from modern technology
B. be experienced over meals
C. help regain lost memories
D. hurt one’s hearing
41. What is mainly talked about in the last three paragraphs?
A. Why we hear earworm songs.
B. Where to find earworm songs.
C. When we hear earworm songs.
D. How to get over earworm songs.
D
Cycling
You need only look at a professional cyclist to appreciate the potential effects of
cycling on the body. But what about the mind? It’s a question that has long challenged
anyone who has wondered how riding a bike can offer what feels close to a state of
emptying your mind.
Dr. John Ratey thinks cycling increases “the chemistry in your brain that makes
you feel calm,” but also that carrying out multiple operations while cycling can be an
effective treatment, as shown in a German study involving 115 children, half of whom
did activities such as cycling that involved complex movements, while the rest
performed more straightforward exercises with the same aerobic (有氧的) demands.
Both groups did better than they previously had in concentration tests, but the “complex”
group did a lot better.
There have been other interesting findings too. In 2003, Dr. Jay Alberts rode a
tandem bicycle, a bicycle built for two riders sitting one behind the other, across the
American state of Ohio with a friend who has Parkinson’s ( 帕 金 森 ) disease, a
condition affecting the nervous system. The idea was to raise awareness of the disease,
but to the surprise of both riders, the patient showed significant improvements. Dr. Jay
Alberts then scanned the brains of 26 Parkinson’s patients during and after an eight-
week exercise programme using bikes. Half the patients were allowed to ride at their
own paces, while the others were pushed harder. All patients improved, and the group
which was pushed harder showed particularly significant increases in connectivity
between areas of intelligence responsible for functions such as walking and picking
things up.
We don’t know how this happens, but there is more evidence of the link between
Parkinson’s and cycling. A video on the Internet shows a 58-year-old man with severe
Parkinson’s. At first, we watch the patient trying to walk. He can barely stand and his
hands shake uncontrollably. Then we see the man on a bicycle being supported by others.
With a push, he’s off, cycling past cars with perfect balance. Doctors don’t fully
understand this discrepancy either, but say that cycling may act as some sort of action
that helped the patient’s brain.
The science of cycling is incomplete, but perhaps the most remarkable thing for
the everyday rider is that it can require no conscious focus at all. The mindlessness of
cycling can not only make us happier, but also leave room for other thoughts. On the
seat of my bike, I’ve solved problems at work and made life decisions, as, I’m sure,
have countless others.
42. What does the study described in Paragraph 2 suggest?
A. Cycling has a good effect on physical fitness.
B. The tasks involved in cycling can be hard for children.
C. Lack of exercise like cycling causes lack of concentration.
D. Cycling can improve the ability to focus attention on a task.
43. Studies of people with Parkinson’s show that ______.
A. cycling does more good if sufferers put more effort into it
B. cycling on tandem bikes has a better effect on the disease
C. not every person with Parkinson’s will benefit from cycling
D. social awareness is more important for Parkinson’s sufferers
44. What does the underlined part “this discrepancy” in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A. Why Parkinson’s affects some people and not others.
B. Why someone with Parkinson’s can cycle but not walk.
C. How cycling could be included in treatment for Parkinson’s.
D. How a link between cycling and Parkinson’s was discovered.
45. What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. The effect of cycling is not yet fully understood.
B. Cycling is believed to be both complex and mindless.
C. Cycling has a significant influence on people’s mind.
D. People may be more intelligent with the help of cycling.

Urban Wildlife
Cities are diverse ecosystems. In addition to visitors from the wild, a large number
of species share our urban areas. As our cities spread, we need to think about what it is
like for other species to have human neighbors.
Cities are built for humans. 46 For example, most city parks are kept neat and tidy
so that humans will find them beautiful. But when we cut grass or plant flowers, we
destroy natural habitats.
47 When a bridge in Austin, Texas was repaired, engineers added small gaps
running along the length of its bottom. This made a good home for bats, and soon the
bridge was the home of thousands of bats. 48 Now, they have come to value their
winged neighbors. The bats are a tourist attraction, and they eat lots of bugs every night.
There are also structures built with the aim of bringing wildlife into the city. The
Beijing Olympic Forest Park is a good example. The park used native plants and created
open, natural spaces for wildlife. The result is a zone in Beijing with over 160 species
of birds. In many ways, the park is the opposite of a zoo. 49
If we learn to share our space, we can become better neighbors to the wildlife
around us. 50 Our own future will be endangered too.
A. They are built to protect birds.
B. Our actions sometimes help other species.
C. If we do not, more species will become extinct.
D. They do not always provide suitable habitats for wildlife.
E. Instead of being kept in cages, wildlife can move about freely.
F. At first, people were afraid of the bats and tried to get rid of them.
G. They would sit on it and their droppings would fall into the water.

第二节
One possible version:
Last week, an activity called "Beijing opera entering Campus" was held in our
school.
In the morning, two famous artists came to our school as planned. When they came
into the room, we clapped warmly. After a casual chatting, the artists were invited to the
hall to give us a detailed introduction to the Beijing opera. With great expectation, we
listened attentively and learned that there are five main roles in Beijing opera, and the
facial mask on each of them tells the characteristics of the role. To help us better
understand Beijing opera, the artist also showed us several classic examples of singing
and acting.
After the lecture, we couldn't wait to start the following training sessions. One artist
showed us how to paint the facial mask on our face, and the other taught us the typical
moves step by step. Under the patient guidance of the artists, we learned the basic skills
and developed strong interest. After several rehearsals, we were ready to stage a scene
from "Journey to the West". On the performing day, with excitement and nervousness,
I played Sun Wukong with the lady artist. To our great delight, our performance won
the applause of our schoolmates.
Through this activity, I've found Beijing opera appealing and learned it must take a
long and hard training to become a good performer. I am expecting to spread Beijing
opera to more audience.
