Climbing to the top of Britain
Each year thousands of people climb Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in Britain. Because of its northerly
location, the weather can be very cold.
It was February and it was my first big winter climb. Our route (路线) was up the north face of the mountain
to Tower Ridge from the camp. It’s six hundred meters up — probably the longest climb in Britain.
Some of the group members were very experienced. We took all kinds of safety equipment (装备), including
lights, hard hats and clothing. Although the weather was perfect, with no strong winds, there was still a feeling of
nervousness when we set out. Ben Nevis in winter is always difficult to climb.
Soon my legs felt heavy. I had to rest very often because I was the weakest member of the group. The others
sometimes stopped for a break to let me catch up, but as soon as I reached them, they set off again. I promised
myself that in future I would always train correctly before a climb.
After 200 meters, we reached the beginning of Tower Ridge, the route that would take us to the top of Ben
Nevis. It’s only a meter and a half wide and the mountain drops away hundreds of meters on each side. We knew
we had to keep calm and pay attention to every step as we moved slowly along it.
After seven hours of climbing, we reached the top. We could see the island of Skye, 48 kilometers away.
On Ben Nevis, getting back down to the camp can be as difficult as going up. You need to be able to read a
map correctly — a wrong turn could lead to slopes (斜坡) too dangerous to go down in winter. I was glad we had
decided to take it in turns to do that job.When I was safe at the camp, I felt I really enjoyed the experience. At least I made it to the top.
20. Why did the writer have to rest very often while climbing Ben Nevis?
.
A The weather was very cold. B. He stopped to wait for others.
C. He was the weakest of the group. D. His safety equipment was too heavy.
21. What did the group need to do when they got down the mountain?
A. Read a map correctly. B. Catch up other groups.
C. Check their equipment. D. Point out the island of Skye.
22. How did the writer feel when he was back at the camp?
A. Nervous. B. Bored. C. Calm. D. Pleased.
【答案】20. C 21. A 22. D
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了作者攀登英国最高峰本尼维斯山的经历。
【20题详解】
细节理解题。根据“I had to rest very often because I was the weakest member of the group.”可知作者不得不经
常休息是因为他是队伍中最弱的。故选C。
【21题详解】
细节理解题。根据“On Ben Nevis, getting back down to the camp can be as difficult as going up. You need to be

得很享受这次经历，由此推出是很愉快的。故选D。
C
Laughing is one of the best things you can do to cheer yourself up. So I actively make a habit to laugh
regularly — and I think you should, too.
Laughter is good for your health. It’s also good for personal development. Laughter can improve sleep,
increase creative thinking, and provide an environment that increases learning as well.
You might think that all this sounds encouraging, but you just don’t have many chances to laugh in your own
life. The good news is that you don’t have to wait for laughter to appear in your life. Here are a few suggestions to
get you started.
Find chances to laugh all through the day.
Think of funny things at some moments during the day. Instead of thinking about your problems, think of afunny experience, a funny joke, or something funny that you saw in a movie or TV show. Replay it in your mind as
you do housework, wait in line, or other activities that leave your mind free.
.
Exaggerate (夸张) your laughter
When someone says something funny, don’t just smile — laugh out loud. Everyone around you will laugh
more and that will get you laughing more also. What’s more, the person who shares the funny thing will feel so
happy.
If you are watching a funny show on TV and it makes you laugh, don’t just give a small half-hearted laugh.
Give a loud laughter! It’s just you and the TV.
Turn your complaints (抱怨) into funny stories.
Instead of complaining about life’s difficulties, make up a funny story about them, and tell them to your
friends.
You’ll laugh twice. Once as you find “the funny” in what has happened to you, and again when you actually
tell it to your friends. And your story will make your friends laugh. So your bad experience has a silver lining —
it is putting a lot more laughter into the world.
Laugh and the world laughs with you.
Not only does laughter improve your health, but you can also use laughter to help others. Don’t keep all the
laughter to yourself. Let everyone have the benefits of laughter. You can use laughter to make everyone around you
feel more cheerful and hopeful, and perhaps improve your experience with them.
23. What’s Paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. The art of laughter. B. The advantages of laughter.
C. The ways to make people laugh more. D. The reasons why laughter is good for health.
24. The expression “a silver lining” in Paragraph 8 probably means ________.
A. something disappointing B. something true
C. something terrible D. something good
25. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Sharing your laughter with friends is meaningful.
B. Do some funny things before thinking of problems.
C. It’s strange to laugh out loud when a person is alone.
D. People always make up funny stories about their complaints.
【答案】23. B 24. D 25. A
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了笑对人的好处，并给出了几点关于“笑”的建议。【23题详解】
主旨大意题。根据“Laughter is good for your health. It’s also good for personal development.”可知，笑对健
康有好处，对人的发展也有好处；故本段主要介绍了笑的优点。故选B。
【24题详解】
词句猜测题。根据后文“it is putting a lot more laughter into the world”可知，你的糟糕经历会给世界带来笑
声，可推知你的这种经历是一种“好的事情”。故选D。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“You can use laughter to make everyone around you feel more cheerful and hopeful,
and perhaps improve your experience with them.”可知，笑声可以让周围的人感到愉快和充满希望，对他们
有好处，故推知和朋友分享笑也是有意义的。故选A。
D
We learn many things at school, but most of us don’t learn how to make the most of the time we have.
However, reaching a school-life balance (平衡) is one of the most important things for students like you to
understand.
As many of you hurriedly do your best to earn (获得) as many volunteer hours or work experience as possible,
do sports and other activities outside the classroom, it’s hard not to let those things impact (影响) your grades.
Let me introduce you to a way I call “Value-Based Time Blocking”. The most important thing is to discover
what your core (核心) values are and make sure that your timetable shows that. The key isn’t to spend most of your
time on what you personally value as most important — instead, think how much time you need to spend in each
area of your life to keep a school-life balance.
Here’s an example: let’s say that you need volunteer experience in a field. Try not to start the volunteer work
too quickly without thinking about whether you enjoy the experience or not, think about how often and for how
long you want to be volunteering. You may realize that volunteering a few hours once a week is enough for you to
get the experience you need, and a few hours’ work will not impact your grades. To get started, write down as many
of your personal values onto a piece of paper as you can. Once you have at least 20, underline your top 5. Next,
think about all the things you would like to finish. In comparing what you’d like to do and your top 5 values,
scratch out (划掉) anything that doesn’t go with most of these values. Finally, think about how much time you want
to spend on each task as it connects to your values.
How we use our time is a choice. You don’t have to do all the things, especially not all at once. You can choose
to do only a few things. If you make the decision to try your best and to enjoy the time you spend on them, you can
still get competitive grades and have a satisfying life outside the classroom, but it has to be a choice.26. According to “Value-Based Time Blocking”, students should ________.
A. do the activities that they would like to do
B. decide how much time to spend in each area of life
C. discover in what area they spend most of their time
D. spend most of their time on what they personally value most
27. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Students are not clear about what their core values are.
B. Students need to find the connection between school and life.
C. Students should spend time on what connects with their values.
D. Students need little volunteer experience when they are at school.
28. What’s the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage?
A. To suggest a way of finding a school-life balance.
B. To tell the importance of reaching a school-life balance.
C. To explain why students enjoy life outside the classroom.
D. To show how activities outside the classroom impact grades.
【答案】26. B 27. C 28. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文，作者向我们介绍了一种达到学校——生活平衡的方式，即把时间花在与价值
观相关的事情上。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“instead, think how much time you need to spend in each area of your life to keep a
school-life balance.”可知，根据“基于价值的时间阻塞”，学生们应该决定在生活的每个方面花多少时间。
故选B。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“The most important thing is to discover what your core values are”及第四段
“Finally, think about how much time you want to spend on each task as it connects to your values.”可知，学生
要明确自己的价值观，把时间花在与价值观有关的事情上。故选C。
【28题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“However, reaching a school-life balance is one of the most important things for
students like you to understand.”及全文可知，作者介绍了一种“基于价值的时间阻塞”方式来帮助学生们
达到学校——生活的平衡。故选A。
第二部分四、阅读表达（每题2分，共8分）
阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。
This great book, The Great Penguin Rescue (救援), is a true story.
On June 23, 2000, a ship called MV Treasure sank (沉没) near Cape Town, South Africa. More than a
thousand tons of oil (原油) went into the ocean. It polluted the natural home of nearly half of the total world
population of African penguins. About 20,000 African penguins were covered with oil and as a result couldn’t swim
or walk properly. It was very possible that they would die. A huge rescue began, and it lasted for twelve weeks. Up
to 1,000 people a day came to help save these birds. The rescue was successful because 45,000 people offered to
give their time and energy, for free, to the project.
The rescue was a success, but it wasn’t easy. First, people had to catch the penguins and took them to a special
rescue centre. When the penguins got there, they stayed in a quiet place for several days so that they could get used
to their new “home”. During this time and the next three months, people had to feed the penguins. It wasn’t easy to
find enough fish to feed 20,000 penguins, and feeding penguins wasn’t easy either: the penguins have very sharp
beaks and many people got wounds (伤口) on their arms from penguin bites.
After that, they had to take the oil off the penguins’ feathers. People tried to wash each penguin and then made
it dry. They did it again and again until there was no more oil on the penguin. It took two people at least an hour
just to clean one penguin. Then they put the penguins in pools to swim every day until their feathers got well
completely. “The Great Penguin Rescue” is the world’s biggest rescue of live animals. It’s a moving story because
so many people took part in the rescue and showed that they really cared about saving wild animals.
29. How many African penguins were covered with oil?
__________________________________________________
30. What were the two problems with feeding the penguins?
__________________________________________________

【解析】【导语】本文主要介绍了2000年的一场沉船事故导致非洲的众多企鹅被原油覆盖，人们对企鹅展开积极救
援的真实故事。

【30题详解】
根据“It wasn’t easy to find enough fish to feed 20,000 penguins, and feeding penguins wasn’t easy either: the
penguins have very sharp beaks and many people got wounds on their arms from penguin bites.”可知，要找到足
够喂养2万只企鹅的鱼并不容易，企鹅的喙非常锋利，喂养企鹅也不容易。故填It wasn’t easy to find
enough fish to feed so many penguins and the penguins had very sharp beaks.
【31题详解】
根据“It took two people at least an hour just to clean one penguin.”可知，清理一只企鹅，需要花费两人至少
