Here we are at the beautiful bell tower. The village is famous for it. The bell and the tower are 3 centuries
old.
There used to be an old yard with a bell tower inside it. The buildings in the yard were burnt down in a big
fire 150 years ago, and only the tower was left. However, the tower you see now is not that same tower. It was
completely built again at the end of last century, but it’s been rebuilt exactly like the old one. The bell is the same
old bell that was in the old building. The villagers say that the bell sounds the same as it did 300 years ago, and
just like 300 years ago, the bell still sounds every evening when the sun goes down. That’s why they call it the
sunset bell. It can be heard 4 kilometers around.
People from everywhere come to see and hear the bell. They say the bell brings peace and good luck. Well, I
don’t know about that. But I know it’s brought us good business.

This is David, an English boy and he is 12 years old. He loves hamburgers. He has one hamburger in themorning, three hamburgers and two ice-creams in the afternoon. For dinner, what does he have? Three
hamburgers and a coke (可乐)!
Some scientists (科学家) say, “Hamburgers, ice-cream and coke are nice but eating them too much is not
good.” If we have food like hamburgers too much, what can we get?
Scientists have an experiment (实验) on rats (老鼠) to find the answer (答案).
Here are three groups (组) of rats. Group One eat fruit and vegetables. Group Two eat some vegetables and
hamburgers. But they can eat hamburgers for only one hour every day. Group Three have hamburgers and
vegetables, too. But rats in this group can eat hamburgers all day.
The rats in Group Three like hamburgers very much and always want them. After the experiment, they are
the fattest (最胖的).
Can it be the same with people? Some scientists think “YES”. It is OK to love food like hamburgers, but
having so many hamburgers a day like David sounds (听起来) “fat”. You don’t want to be too fat, right? Ice-
cream is nice and cool. It’s OK to have one ice-cream after dinner. But it’s not OK to have five ice-creams after
dinner. We don’t want to be the fat “rats”.

When you go to the park, you might notice many older people listening to audiobooks (有声书) instead of
reading paper books. Audiobooks become quite popular these days. Why are more and more people choosing
audiobooks? Is listening to an audiobook just as useful as reading a book?
Reading needs us to pay all our attention to the words in a book, and we also need to find time and a place to
sit down and read. However, you can listen to audiobooks anytime and anywhere you like, and it lets your eyes
have a rest, too.
But the big question is, do we get knowledge (知识) from audiobooks as effectively (有效地) as we do from
paper books? Researchers did an experiment to find the answer. Volunteers in group one listen to an audiobook,
but volunteers in group two read a paper book. It turned out that they remembered the same amount (数量) of
information in these two ways.
Another study published in the Journal of Neuroscience further agree to the result above. In the study,
researchers scanned (扫描) people’s brains when they listened to and read books. The result showed that listening
to audiobooks uses almost the same parts of the brain as reading does.
However, some people still believe that they learn better from reading paper books. One reason might be that
when we listen to audiobooks, we are often doing other things at the same time. “If you’re trying to learn when
doing two things, you’re not going to learn well, ” Daniel Willingham, a professor of psychology (心理学) at the
University of Virginia, told The New York Times.

五、阅读短文回答问题(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
One of the great things about traveling alone is that you can decide where you go and what you eat. You’ll be
surprised at what you discover about yourself without any influence.
Traveling alone really shows you what you’re made of and helps you to discover inner strength you didn’t
know you had. Besides, it also gives you time to think, learn and grow. When your eyes are wide open, you’ll get
a whole new outlook on the world.
It’s easy to think that traveling alone is lonely. Although that may sometimes be true, you’re hardly ever
alone. When you travel in a one-person team, this can provide a chance for you to enjoy the most interesting part
of travel—communicating with the local people.
In fact, traveling to know more about the world is not easy. There’s research to be done, flights to be bookedand choices to be made. One of the main advantages of traveling with friends is being able to share these things
and support each other through the process, even if it’s just someone who will wait with your bag when you go to
the bathroom.
Just as your mother always says, it’s true that traveling with others can give you a sense of safety, especially
if you’re new to travel. You know that if you get lost or have your wallet stolen, there’s someone to hold your
hand when you try to explain your situation in a foreign police station. There’s no right or wrong way to travel.
Whether you travel alone or team up with friends, it is up to you.
71.What can you decide when you travel alone?
72.According to the writer, what is the most interesting part of travelling in a one-person team?
73.Why isn’t it easy to know more about the world by traveling?
74.What does your mother think of travelling with others?
75.Which way will you choose to travel?
【答案】
71.You can decide where you go and what you eat.
72.Communicating with the local people.
73.Because there’s research to be done, flights to be booked and choices to be made.
74.It can give you a sense of safety./It is safe.
75.I will choose to travel alone/with others/with my friends/with my family.
【导语】本文主要讲述了旅行时是选择独自一人还是和朋友一起出行更好的问题。
71.根据“One of the great things about traveling alone is that you can decide where you go and what you eat.”
可知,独自旅行的一大好处就是你可以决定去哪里和吃什么。故填You can decide where you go and what
you eat.
72.根据“When you travel in a one-person team, this can provide a chance for you to enjoy the most interesting
part of travel—communicating with the local people.”可知,旅行中最有趣的部分是可以有和当地人交流的机
会。故填Communicating with the local people.
73.根据“traveling to know more about the world is not easy. There’s research to be done, flights to be booked
and choices to be made.”可知,靠旅行来了解更多的世界并不容易,有研究要做,有航班要订,有选择要做。故填Because there’s research to be done, flights to be booked and choices to be made.
74.根据“Just as your mother always says, it’s true that traveling with others can give you a sense of safety”可
知,妈妈认为跟别人一起旅行有安全感/很安全,故填It can give you a sense of safety./It is safe.
75.开放性题,答案合理即可。参考答案为 I will choose to travel alone/with others/with my friends/with my
family.
