mountains all around you. You can swim in the lake or walk in the forest. You don’t have to bring your own tent-
here are some you can pay to use. Don’t forget to bring your mountain bike with you. Its small supermarket has

Seven years ago, I was studying Tourism at college, but I needed to find a part-time（兼职的）job because it
was very expensive to study at college. I decided to become a weekend tour guide in my home city—Chicago,
USA. I was surprised to find how much I enjoyed taking visitors around the city. I got to see the city through the
eyes of tourists, and it felt like a new experience every time.
After finishing my studies, I decided to go into tour guiding full-time（全职）. I thought it would be quite
easy. But when I researched what I had to do, I found out that I needed to know a lot more than I’d learnt so far to
get a licence（执照）as a full-time tour guide. All city guides have to be able to answer hundreds of questionsabout the city, covering everything from local history to the rules of public transport. After several difficult but
interesting months, I got my tour guide licence and became an independent tour guide.
Tour guiding isn’t just about knowing historical facts or making sure you don’t lose anyone from your group
in the crowds. There are many other necessary skills. You should be able to tell interesting stories, and the most
important one is to be able to face changing situations, for example, if a place that you thought was open is closed
when you arrive. Tourists don’t want to hear what the problems are or that they’re missing out on something, they
just want to enjoy a well-planned tour.
The visitors are happy with my tours because of the hard work I put into my job, and my tours are popular
with the visitors coming to Chicago.
20. Why did the writer decide to work as a weekend tour guide?
A. To help pay for his studies. B. To get more life experience.
C. To prepare for his future job. D. To learn the history of the city.
21. What did the writer think of the job of a full-time tour guide?
A. It was quite easy to get a licence.
B. It needed a lot more than what he knew.
C. It was difficult to make all the tourists happy.
D. It offered him a chance to meet different people.
22. What does the writer think is the most important skill for his job?
A. Answering all kinds of questions.
B. Facing sudden changes during a tour.
C. Giving tourists all the information of the tour.
D. Checking that nobody gets lost during the tour.
Koalas look so cute that you want to give them a hug. Of course. Koalas don’t hug or do they? During the hot
season in Australia, scientists noticed something unusual. As the temperatures rose, koalas high in the trees climbed
down from the treetops. They sat on lower tree limbs and looked as if they were hugging the trees. But why would
koalas hug trees?Scientists have studied koalas for years. They know that koalas cannot sweat(出汗). The animals have few
ways to stay cool during the hottest days. They can lick or pant like dogs to keep cool. However, both ways can dry
them out. They could leave the safety of their trees to search for water, but water is difficult to find.
The scientists decided to do some study. They followed 37 koalas. First, they noted their posture(姿势) and
where they stayed in trees. When the weather was warm, the koalas sat high up in the treetops. They ate tree leaves
or rested. However, as the weather turned hot, the koalas climbed farther down. They kept their bodies close to tree
trunks(树干). Next, scientists used technology to find out why the koalas acted differently because of the weather.
They used a special camera to take photos. The camera made thermal images(热成像). In thermal images, darker
colors show cooler temperatures. Lighter colors show hotter temperatures.
These images showed that koalas hug trees to keep cool. They showed that the tree trunks were up to nine
degrees cooler than the air around them.
Koalas were using the trees to keep cool. By hugging the cooler trees, the animals could lower their
temperatures as much as 68 percent. This allowed the koalas to keep the water in their bodies. Clearly, hugging
trees offers relief to koalas when temperatures rise.
23. What did the scientists find about koalas during the hot season?
A. They stayed longer on treetops to eat more tree leaves.
B. They had many ways to stay cool during the hottest days.
C. They stayed in the lower part of the trees when it was hot.
D. They climbed down trees to search for water in hot weather.
.
24 What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. How the scientists did the research.
B. How koalas keep cool in hot weather.
C. Why the scientists used technology in the study.
D. Why koalas act differently because of the weather.
25. The word “relief” in Paragraph 5 probably means “________”.
A. a dangerous place B. a difficult situation
.
C an exciting experience D. a comfortable feeling

How good are you at remembering names dates, and telephone numbers? It is not easy for all.
Remembering things is one of the most interesting functions (功能) of the human brain (大脑). That’s why
scientists spend so much time studying how it works.
Studies show that when we learn something new, it stays in our memory (记忆) for 20-30 seconds. This is our
short-term memory. Remembering a phone number long enough to find a piece of paper is an example. Theopposite of short-term memory is long-term memory, which is where things are stored in the brain for a long time.
The brain can turn short-term memory into long-term memory. For example, when studying for an exam, instead of
just reading the information once or twice, you might go over your notes again and again until you can remember
the important information.
Dave Farrow is known for his excellent memory. He has been listed twice in Guinness (吉尼斯) World
Records for Greatest Memory. As a student, Dave had great difficulties in learning. He found some ways to
improve his memory in order to do well in school. Here are some you can try.
One way is to look at the first letter of each word you want to remember. Then, make your own word or
sentence using all of those letters. For example, if you want to remember all the colours in a rainbow, try
remembering the name Roy G.Biv. Each letter in this name matches the first letter of a colour：red, orange, yellow,
green, blue, indigo and violet. Another way is to remember information in groups. For example, when you
remember a telephone number, remember three numbers as a group, the next four numbers as a group and the final
four numbers as a group. This way, your brain only has to remember three things instead of 11.
If you are interested in improving your memory, apart from using some ways to remember things, there are
lots of simple things you can do, like eating healthily, sleeping well and exercising daily. Challenging (挑战) your
brain also helps you keep it healthy and active. So, why not start playing mind games, learning a musical
instrument or studying a new language?
26. What can we learn from Paragraph 2?
A. Short-term memory is less important than long-term memory.
B. The information needed for an exam stays in short-term memory.
C. People store new information in long-term memory by going over it.
D. Our short-term memory can hold information for more than half a minute.
.
27 The writer talks about Dave Farrow to ________.
A. describe how people remember things
B. show the importance of a great memory
C. tell people to use some ways to improve memory
D. give a reason why people need to improve memory
28. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. Some advice to improve memory.
B. Some activities to challenge the brain.
C. Some advantages of playing mind games.
D. Some reasons for keeping the brain active.四、阅读表达（每小题2分, 共8分）
阅读短文, 根据短文内容回答问题。
This fall, children in the Eixample area of Barcelona, Spain have a new way to get to school on Fridays—they
ride their bikes. In September, a group of five children began biking to school with their parents on Fridays. Soon
the group grew to 150 or more. The program is called “bicibúsor” bike bus.
The Eixample bike bus begins around 8:25 every Friday morning. The path it will follow is always posted
ahead of time, so everyone knows where to join.
The bicibus starts off with just a few students and parents, with more and more joining as it travels along.
Most kids ride their bikes, but others ride scooters or use skates. Instead of riding in bike lanes or on
sidewalks, the bicibús takes over the whole street. With music playing and bike bells ringing, the bicibús feels like
a party.
Being able to ride with a lot of children is a big part of the fun. Nine-year-old Maria Pitarch says, “The best
part of the bicibús is that we ride along and pick up my friends and we ride together.”
The Eixample bicibús goes to several schools. When students reach their school, they leave the bus and park
their bikes. Some parents have made the bicibús the way they get to work on Friday.
It was possible to bike to school in Eixample before, but it wasn’t really safe for children. One of the main
roads used by the Eixample bicibiús has about 20,000 cars and motorcycles every day. So the local police are
helping stop traffic by riding in front of the bicibús and behind it.
Some parents think the bicibús will help change ideas about how people can get around in the city. They want
the city to build wider kid-friendly bike lanes that are separate from car traffic. They point out that the bicibús also
helps cut down on pollution.
29. What time does the bike bus begin every Friday morning?
________________
30. How do children feel about the bicibús?
________________
31. How do the local police help stop traffic?________________
32. What are the advantages of the bicibús according to some parents?
