Living a Life Full of Wild Adventures
Helen Skelton was brought up on a remote farm, and her family wasn't full of "runners and rock climbers".
However, she has since travelled the world on ____21____ series of record breaking adventures. The former Blue
Peter presenter has kayaked（划皮划艇）down the Amazon River, cycled to the South Pole and done a tightrope
walk between the chimneys of Batter-sea Power Station in London. Now, Skelton ____22____ (share) the secrets
of her success in a new book called Wild Girl: How to Have Incredible Outdoor Adventures.
____23____ she's got plenty of stamps in her passport, Skelton says you don't need to go to the Amazon orAntarctica in order to have an adventure - there's plenty to do here in the UK. She grew up in Cumbria, and would
go bike-riding and skateboarding with her mum, as well as building rafts. She hopes to pass on these adventures to
her own children.
Despite the title, Skelton says that the book isn't just for girls. She believes adventure is a leveller - an activity
____24____ men and women are equal. Adventures ____25____ also be educational. Skelton says when you're at
the mercy of the elements you have to adapt and be flexible, which is a great lesson for life.
Of all the places she ____26____ (be) to, Skelton says the South Pole was particularly hard. "It's like living in
a freezer. It's the windiest, driest, coldest place on Earth." Skelton explains, "You can't even put up your tent, which
is your only shelter, ____27____ putting on huge gloves, otherwise you'll get a frostbite. ____28____ (put) up a
tent in oven gloves isn't easy."
Her advice to any aspiring adventurers would be to "not worry about ____29____ comments other people
might make. When I said I'm going to kayak the Amazon, people told me that's madness. And, if I had listened to
them, I never would have done _____30_____ of it. So just try."
Section B
Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once.
Note that there is one word more than you need.
A．present B．features C．concerned D．reportedly E. commercial
F. stretches G. overwhelming H. exceptionally I. routinely J. spared K. broadcasts
Modern media is awash in advertising clutter(杂乱), and who’s to blame? Modern audiences that hate
conventional full-length and full-size ads. Today’s consumers don’t like to pay for content, which ought to create a
rich environment for advertisers. Yet these same consumers are prone to click or turn away when a conventional ad
appears. The result is ad clutter.
YouTube ___31___a combination of full-length ads, skippable ads, lower-screen banners and display ads on
the page alongside each video. Newspapers that once considered the front page important now ___32___run ads
there.
Advertisers integrate plugs(推销) into content to frustrate digital video recorders, which allow viewers to
watch programs on a delay and skip regular commercials. If you watch regional telecasts of baseball games, thecommercial clutter is so ___33___. Ads are visible on the stadium wall behind the home-plate umpire(裁判). On-
screen graphics include sponsor logos. And everything is a paid plug--“This call to the coach’s zone is brought to
you by Verizon.”
According to the showbiz paper Variety, several streaming services are about to introduce a new twist:
commercials that start running whenever a viewer pauses a program. Hulu intends to launch such ads this year.
AT&T’s DirecTV and U-verse units will ___34___use similar technology to trigger full-motion commercials
whenever a viewer tries to take a break.
There’s a lot at stake. According to Variety, National Football League(NFL) TV broadcasts generate an
estimated $4.35 billion in ad revenue during the 17-week regular season. NFL ___35___are now loaded with mini
commercials that pop up when there is a brief pause in the action, often in “double boxes” that show a view of the
field in one frame and a(n)___36___in the other.
Interestingly, with no “screen” to work with, radio is one medium that has tried for some time to buck the
trend. Many commercial stations trade clutter for clusters--that is, a solid block of commercials running five
minutes or more, followed by lengthy commercial-free ___37___of time.
But wherever a screen is involved, or a printed page, ad clutter is ___38___everywhere. Programmers and
advertisers can’t really be expected to limit this; it’s a fact of business. Consumers, on the other hand, can opt for
commercial-free content--if they’re willing to pay for it.
But getting limitless content without paying while also being ___39___heavy advertising intrusions is
impossible. As media environment is permanently cluttered, audiences should be ___40___with what they wish
for.

Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A. B.C and D.
Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context
It’s late in the evening: time to close the book and turn off the computer. You’re done for the day. What you
may not realize, ___41___, is that the learning process actually continues - in your dreams.It might sound like science fiction, but researchers are increasingly ___42___ the relationship between the
knowledge and skills our brains absorb during the day and the fragmented, often bizarre imaginings they ___43___
at night. Scientists have found that dreaming about a task we’ve learned is associated with ___44___ performance
in that activity (suggesting that there’s some truth to the popular notion that we’re “getting” a foreign language once
we begin dreaming in it). What’s more, researchers are coming to recognize that dreaming is an essential part of
understanding, organizing and ___45___ what we learn. While we sleep, research indicates, the brain replays the
patterns of activity it experienced during ___46___ hours, allowing us to enter what one psychologist calls a neural
virtual reality. A vivid example of such ___47___ can be seen in a video researchers made recently about sleep
disorders. They taught a series of dance moves to a group of patients with conditions like sleepwalking, in which
the sleeper performs the kind of physical movement that does not ___48___ occur during sleep. They then
videotaped the ___49___ as they slept. Lying in bed, eyes closed, one female patient on the tape _____50_____
the dance moves she learned earlier.
This shows that while our bodies are _____51_____, our brains are drawing what’s important from the
information and events we’ve recently encountered, then integrating that data into the vast _____52_____ of what
we already know.
In a 2010 study, researchers at Harvard Medical School reported that college students who dreamed about a
computer maze(迷宫)task they had learned showed a 10-fold improvement in their _____53_____ to find their
way through the maze compared with the participants who did not dream about the task.

Section B
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished
statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according
to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
Cartoons suit the way we like information to be presented these days: graphically and in small amounts. We
are used to cartoons and comic strips that take an ironic look at modern life or provide a bit of escapism. But
recently we have seen an increase in the number of graphic novels: booklength comics with a single, continuous
narrative. Historically, graphic novels were not popular outside France, Belgium, Japan, and the US. The exception
is the worldwide popularity of a young reporter-detective from Belgium, Tintin.
The creation of the Belgian cartoonist Herge, The Adventures of Tintin first appeared in a Belgian newspaper
in 1929. Each story appeared as a cartoon strip week by week, but soon after was republished in book form. One of
the main attractions for readers was that they were taken to parts of the world they had never seen and probably
never would: Russia, the Congo, America. Herge himself only traveled outside Belgium later in life, but his passion
was educating his readers about other cultures and places.
Two things set Herge apart as a graphic novelist. The first was his technical drawing skills: with just a few
simple lines he could communicate a particular facial expression or movement. The second was the careful research
he put into his stories. In The Crab with the Golden Claws, Tintin follows an opium-smuggling ring to North
Africa; in King Ottakar’s Scepter, he makes an attempt at a military coup in a central European country. While
telling these stories, Herge also steered a fine line between serious topics and humor.
Tintin had more than his fair share of adventures, but perhaps the greatest is his joumey to the Moon, told in
Destination Moon and Explorers on the Moon. Written in 1953, sixteen years before the first Moon landing, the
stories show a remarkable eye for technical detail and feeling for the nature of space travel. In the early 1950s, fewcould imagine what it was like to be looking down at our planet from outer space. And that is Herge’s true gift: to
understand what a place was like without ever having been there.
56．What can be learned about graphic novels from the passage?
A．The Adventures of Tintin is the world’s first graphic novel.
B．Most of them were just popular in several countries.
C．They present information in small amounts.
D．They mostly involve detective stories.
57．Which of the following is an attraction of The Adventures of Tintin for readers?
A．The stories were created in Belgium, a European country.
B．The stories were the first graphic novel published in book form.
C．The stories used to be cartoon strips that appeared week by week.
D．The stories enable them to learn about places they have never been to.
58．The Crab with the Golden Claws and King Ottakar’s Scepter are used as examples to illustrate_______.
A．Herge liked touching on serious topics
B．Herge himself had a good sense of humor
C．Herge based his stories on the research results
D．Herge was expert at applying technical drawing skills
59．Which of the following statements is true of Herge?
A．He had been longing for a trip to the Moon.
B．He never had any chance to leave Belgium for travelling.
C．He could describe accurately those experiences he never had.
D．He devoted himself to education before creating graphic novels.

Four Hotels That Will Make Your Life Easier
By John Brandon
For the business traveler who’s all about efficiency: check out these hotels that will get you in and out with
minimum trouble.
When you’re pressed for time on a business trip, nothing can infuriate you more than a slow hotel check-in
process. On your next trip, try these hotels that offer a speedier check-in process.
Yotel New York
The self-service kiosks （一体机）at this high-tech New York hotel are open 24x7 and work just like the
ones you’d see at an airport. There are just five-steps to register and obtain your card key. There’s even a roboticluggage bellboy.
You tap in the number of bags you’re carrying and sizes, then wait for a robot arm to swing down and store your
luggage in a locker (say, for a day trip). This also speeds up the check-in process if the first thing you need to do,
like me, is head to a series of meetings.
Marriott Detroit Airport
Another option for business travelers in a hurry: Marriott is rolling out its mobile check-in app to 325 hotels
this year, including the Marriott Detroit Airport hotel. (I’ve tested the app itself but not for a real visit quite yet.)
here is the basic idea: you download the iPhone or Android app. The night before, you can “check-in” virtually.
When you arrive, you get an alert that the room is ready and your key, which is already tied to your reservation, is
waiting for you at the desk.
Hyatt Regency Minneapolis
I happened to stay at this hotel recently and liked how fast the kiosk check-in works. Like the Yotel, the kiosk
asks you to insert your credit card, similar to an airport terminal. The whole process took about three minutes.
When I left, I was equally impressed with the fast check-out. An agent meets you in the lobby with an iPad and asks
for an email to use for a receipt. The big advantage is you never have to wait in line.
Radisson LaCrosse
The Radisson is trying to make the kiosk process even faster. At a few select hotels like the Radisson Lacrosse
in Wisconsin, you use a mobile app to register and then receive a barcode （条形码）by email or text. When you
get to the kiosk, you can scan the barcode to get your key without any other steps required. It’s super fast. You can
find this new check-in system at the Radisson hotels in Salt Lake City, Seattle, and Phoenix as well.
60．What does the underlined word “infuriate” in Paragraph 2 most probably mean?
A．To annoy. B．To remind. C．To amuse. D．To impress:
61．Which two hotels offer a mobile app for customers to check in?
A．Yotel New York and Marriott Detroit Airport.
B．Marriott Detroit Airport and Radisson LaCrosse.
C．Marriott Detroit Airport and Hyatt Regency Minneapolis.
D．Hyatt Regency Minneapolis and Radisson LaCrosse.
62．Which hotel will send you a receipt by email?
A．Yotel New York. B．Marriott Detroit Airport. ’
C．Radisson LaCrosse. D．Hyatt Regency Minneapolis.

Searching Venus’ sky
From the moon to Mars, scientists have been hunting for alien life in the solar system for decades.
However, Venus was not regarded as an ideal place because of its hot temperature and dry atmosphere.
But a recent discovery of traces of a gas in the clouds of Venus has excited astronomers, as it may serve as a
potential sign of life.
On Sept 14, the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada announced that scientists have detected phosphine(磷化氢) in the clouds of Venus. Phosphine is a colorless, toxic(有毒的)gas that has an odor of garlic. Though toxic, it
is viewed as a possible sign of life because on Earth the gas is made by microorganisms that live in oxygen-free
environments.
“I was very surprised - stunned, in fact,” astronomer Jane Greaves of Cardiff University in Wales and lead
author of the research, told MSN. “There is a chance that we have detected some kind of living organism in the
clouds of Venus.”
This layer of clouds is about 48 kilometers above the Venus surface, with its temperature ranging from 30 to
200 degrees Fahrenheit (about -1 to 93℃). Scientists have speculated that if life exists on Venus, this cloud deck(云
盖)is likely the only place where it would survive.
Scientists went through every possibility that could have led to the formation of phosphine gas in Venus’
clouds, including volcanoes, lightning strikes, small meteorites(陨石)falling into the atmosphere. But they ruled all
of them out. It was concluded that there is no explanation for the existence of this gas in Venus’ clouds, other than
the presence of life, USA Today reported.
Although the detection of phosphine is not robust(强有力的)evidence for life, this finding is great enough to
change scientists’ view on Venus, which is thought to be a completely inhospitable planet.
What signs of life we looking for?
1. Liquid water: It can dissolve a huge range of molecules needed for life and facilitate their chemical
reactions.
2. Mild temperatures: Temperatures higher than 122 C will destroy most complex organic molecules, and
make it almost impossible for carbon-based life to form.
63．What is the text mainly about?
A．A newly detected gas may indicate possible existence of life on Venus.
B．Scientists found the most hospitable place on Venus.
C．The environment on Venue changed in favor of life.
D．Phosphine formed on Venus means alien life is present.
64．What can we learn about phosphine from the text?
A．It has no smell at all. B．It only exists on Venus.
C．It can be produced by microorganisms. D．It is a sign of the existence of oxygen.
65．What can we infer from paragraphs 5 and 6?
A．Various living organisms have been detected on Venus.B．The higher the cloud is above Venus, the warmer it is.
C．The cloud deck is rich in phosphine.
D．If life exists on Venus, it is likely in the cloud deck.
66．What did scientists conclude about the phosphine gas detected on Venus?
A．It could be formed as a result of the falling of meteorites.
B．It could be a sign that there is life in Venus’ clouds.
C．It could be caused by volcanoes and lighting strikes.
D．It proves that Venus is another hospitable planet.
Section C
Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences in the box Each sentence can only be used
once. Note that there are two sentences more than you need.
A．It’s impossible for students to make up small groups in large lecture halls.
B．In courses that regularly use a small group format, students might be asked to stay in the same small groups
throughout the course.
C．The assumption behind such an arrangement is obvious: Everything of importance comes from the teacher.
D．College classroom space should be designed to encourage the activity of critical thinking.
E．Large classes, particularly those held in lecture halls, unfortunately, allow much less flexibility.
F．The primary, goal should be: for everyone to be able to see everyone else.
Proper arrangement of classroom space is important to encouraging interaction. Most of us have noticed how
important physical setting is to efficiency and comfort in our work.____67____
We are in the twenty-first century now, but step into almost any college classroom and you step back in time at
least a hundred years. Desks are normally in straight rows, so students can clearly see the teacher but not all their
classmates._____68_____
With a little imagination and effort, unless desks are fixed to the floor, the teacher can correct this situation and
create space that encourages interchange among students. In small or standard-sized classes, chairs, desks, and
tables can be arranged in a variety of ways: circles, U-shapes or semicircles. _____69_____ Arrangement of the
classroom should also make it easy to divide students into small,groups for discussion or problem-solving
exercises. Small classes with movable desks and tables present no problem. Even in large lecture halls, it is possible
for students to turn around and form groups of four to six. Breaking a class into small groups provides more
opportunities for students to interact with each other, think out loud, and see how other students’ thinking processes
operate---all these are essential elements in developing new modes of critical thinking._____70_____ A colleague of mine, John, allows students to move around during the first two weeks, until
they find a group they are comfortable with. John then asks them to stay in the same seat, with the same group,
from that time on. This not only creates a comfortable setting for interaction but helps him learn students’ names
and faces.

IV.Summary Writing
Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point( s)of the passage in no more
than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
Have you ever heard your own voice played back? Other people hear us differently from how we hear
ourselves.The same is true of how we see ourselves.Each of us has a different self-concept. Our self-concept is the
view you have of yourself. It may or may not mirror the way other people view you. This much is clear. Having a
positive self-concept is an important part of good mental health.
Your self-concept starts forming when you are very young. Parents or guardians are the first and greatest
influence. How they speak to you and treat you have a lasting effect. Grandparents sisters, brothers, and relatives
have an effect too.Your skills and abilities also shape your self-concept. You may see yourself as a good basketball
player or a good singer.You may feel you are good at writing stories but average in math. How you view your
talents and abilities influences your overall self-concept.
Developing a positive self-concept is an important part of emotional health.Focus on your strengths rather than
your weaknesses. When you focus on your weaknesses, you may begin to feel that you are not good at anything.
Instead, identify what you do well and what you enjoy doing This will help you develop a positive self-concept.
Seeing yourself in a positive way will help you feel good about yourself.
Family members, friends, and teachers reinforce,or support your self-concept through messages. Some of the
messages from people around you are spoken or written. Others take the form of looks or gestures."Way to go!" is
an example of a positive word message.You may think you did well on a school project. Having your Parent or
teacher tell you that you did a good job reinforces your belief.Keep in mind that sending positive messages is a
two-way street. When you support others, they are likely to support you, too.71.__________________________________________________________________________________________
