Imagine standing on one spot where the only direction is south.You can experience it
if you join a group of just 128 passengers for your trip to the pole of the world.Your

basketball.

Take photos，call your family and wave a flag；just be sure to enjoy your moment at

I started out with animals as a volunteer in a safari park.For me ，it’s about both
providing care and supporting their conservation in the wild，which is what led me to
Laos in Southeast Asia，setting up a sanctuary for sun and moon bears.They are
facing a tough time—they are caught in the wild，and then sold to bear bile(胆
汁)farms where they are treated inhumanely.
It was full steam ahead right from the start.Before I even boarded the plane to Laos，
Matt，a friend from the charity Free The Bears，had called me saying they had
rescued a tiny female sun bear.They named it Mary.
She was found in a tiny cage on the back of a truck that was filled with rubbish.When
I met Mary for the first time，she was scared and weak，but after a few days in a
caring environment with the right nutrition she quickly found her feet.
It wasn’t all easy work.I remember taking her for a walk one day and she shot off up a
tree far beyond our reach just as we were heading back to our nursery centre.She
loves honey，but she was so intelligent(and stubborn)that she wouldn’t just come for
it.I ended up having to trick her with a game，and finally managed to get her low
enough to grab her.
I have countless memories like that which will always make me laugh.But it’s stillmentally exhausting to know that more than 10，000 bears are kept in cages across
Asia.So I can’t describe the feeling of great joy when we get them into our
centre.Seeing them take their first steps on the grass after knowing nothing but bars
and concrete is what it’s all about.They deserve to have the life they were intended
for.
4.What does the underlined word “sanctuary” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A.Bear farm. B.Pet hospital.
C.Regional office. D.Wildlife shelter.
5.What happened to Mary when she was found?
A.She was caged.
B.She was injured.
C.She was buried in rubbish.
D.She was abandoned in a truck.
6.What made the walk with Mary unforgettable to the author?
A.Their tricky games.
B.Her playful behaviour.
C.Her climbing trees quickly.
D.Their shared love for honey.
7.Which of the following best describes the author’s work?
A.Tiring but fruitful.
B.Delightful and rewarding.
C.Challenging but worthwhile.
D.Unpredictable and demanding.
I picked up my two best friends and we were off on a road trip.I had just returned to
America from a year abroad in China.So，naturally I wanted to take a trip to Canada.
Montreal，the second largest city in Canada，is a four-hour drive from my home in
New Hampshire.We felt a thrill as we crossed the border into Canada.It was the first
time I had ever driven across an international border.We turned on the radio to try and
find some Canadian stations.
After dropping off our bags at our hotel，we were immediately walking down thefamous St Catherine’s Street.While we walked，two things surprised us：how cold it
was and how well everyone dressed.The streets of Montreal are like a fashion
show.Both__men__and__women__look__like__they__stepped__out__of__the__page
s__of__a__magazine.
All of that fashion has to keep them warm since Montreal is so cold.Last year it broke
the record for the most snowfall in North America.To hide from the cold we went into
a small diner because we wanted to order Poutine ， a very popular snack in
Montreal.It is French fries covered in cheese and brown gravy(肉汁).It is delicious.
However，we had a hard time ordering the dish since the official language of
Montreal is French.It is actually the fifth largest French-speaking city in the world.But
since the rest of Canada speak English，plenty of people were there to help.
We spent the rest of the weekend going to many historical churches and monuments
in Montreal.But at night we’d head to the very modern dance clubs and bars.Montreal
is a city that sits between the past and the future and the traveller can choose
whichever direction he wants to go.
8.How do you understand the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3?
A.The men and women are really the fashion models of a magazine.
B.The portraits of the men and women are printed in the magazine.
C.They are so well dressed that they look like models in a magazine.
D.The men and women like to copy characters in magazines.
9.Which of the following can NOT be concluded from Paragraphs 3～4?
A.The author and his friends couldn’t wait to explore the city.
B.The author wasn’t used to the weather of Montreal.
C.The citizens from Montreal care much about what they wear.
D.Montreal often holds fashion shows.
10.What can we infer from the passage?
A.The author often went to China for a visit.
B.The people they met in the diner were kind and helpful.
C.All the people in the diner were locals.
D.The author went to Montreal on business.11.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A.The author listened to Canadian radio programmes and chose their first stop as
advised.
B.The author took a trip to Montreal—the third largest city in Canada.
C.Montreal broke the record for the most snowfall in the world last year.
D.Montreal is a city which is both traditional and modern.
Ⅱ.七选五
(2024·济南一模)
Some of the best road trips are unplanned.You simply grab a few items，jump in a
car and set off.However，this approach involves some risk.__1__ That’s why the first
rule of road trip planning is to bring along whatever you might need to have fun.Some
food，a guitar，and a cooler full of drinks can go a long way.
Planning a road trip can be almost as fun as the trip itself.Some well-designed travel
guides may be of great help.__2__ For the logically-minded，the management of
speed，fuel，accommodation and timing details can present a rewarding journey.
__3__ Highways make it possible to drive across an entire country without seeing
anything or meeting anyone.The more you skip freeways in favor of scenic
highways，the more you’re likely to get out of your trip.
Once you’ve figured out your plan roughly，fill in the details，and bear in mind that
maps and satellite navigation systems are not always up to date.__4__ Remember，
the more you prepare now，the better equipped you’ll be if you decide to change
your trip later or have to deal with an unforeseen problem.
Booking accommodation and having backup plans can make or break a trip ，
especially if you want to visit some remote byways with limited accommodation
opportunities.__5__ In some areas，especially the American West，gas stations can
be a hundred miles away.
A.You can find this information online.
B.You may end up in a boring part of town.
C.It’s good to take an emergency phone with you.D.A quick look through them can fuel your inspiration.
E.Research as much as possible and cross-reference your sources.
F.When planning your route，consider what kinds of roads to take.
G.Also，be sure to investigate fuel availability where you’re headed.
