The most interesting thing to see in Malaysia is the ever-increasing number
offestivals held around the country. Made up of traditional cultural
celebrations,religious
(宗教的) holidays and modern sporting or cultural events,Malaysia's festivals mean
there's always a party to be found.
More traditionsl events, such as World Kite Festiva, the Magic of the Night
and
the Lantern Festival—to name just a few—all appear in many calendars around
the
nation. Traditional religious, such as Chinee New Year and Christmas,are also
popular in Malaysia and are celebrated across different cultures and backgrounds.
The greatest event of the year's calendar for any food lover will be the
Malaysia
Gourmet Festival, held throughout chosen hotels in the capital city of Kuala
Lumpur.
One of the most popular of these new addition is the Malaysia Year End
Sale,
which runs from November through to early January. All around the nation
there’re
cheaper sales.
When it comes to the celebrations,Malaysians are some of the most generous
(慷慨的) people in the world. During many of the year’s important events,
Malaysians will
open their homes to friends, families and strangers (including tourists) in a
tradition
known as “Rumah Terbuka"or “ Open House ". Attending an Open House is a
great
opportunity to the Malaysian, make friendsd and enjoy delicious local food.The
government or local groups will also sometimes offer an Open House in a larger
place,
such as a big hall.Everyone is welcome to take part in such events,which have
helped
create a positive(积极的)air.2015 has been decided to be the Year of Festivals in Malaysia—so there's
never
been a better time to visit Malaysia than now. Just turn the page to see some
of the
important events taking place over the next 12 months. And for more

B
When you first step out into that big world, it can be a little worrying, but
as time
goes by and you get into the new environment, you very quickly begin to love
it
because every traveler lessons about themselves, about travel, and about the
world in general.You might have thought youd have trouble with the language or that you’re
terrible with directions, or that you’re shy around new people, or that you can't
deal with some problems, but once you throw yourself to the deep end an d
have to survive(生存) on your own in the world, you’ll come to know you’re far
better at these things than you ever realize.
Every time I go camping or stay in poor hotel or even eat street food,the
feeling is
the same on that first day: sick. I can't get clean.There are people making noise
in my room.This food is going to make me ill. But after about three days of
anything —any level of discomfort— you just get used to it. And then it
becomes fun.
Couldn't find anywhere to have breakfast this morning?No worries.Stayed up
all
night drinking and now you have to catch a bus? It’ll all be fine. See the above
—it’ll
take about three days to get used to it.
What you may have once thought was very unpleasant—showering in a dirty
bath-
room,drying yourself with a dirty hotel towel,wearing the same T-shirt four
days,never washing your socks—becomes routine (惯例)once you've been traveling
for a couple of months. Keep clean? It's a first— world problem.
First-time travelers are usually worried about safety,but after a while you
realize
that the world isn't out to get you, and if you just take a few easy precautions
(警觉),
the probability is high that you’ll never get stolen while you travel.Although you
still
might, so don't carry anything you can't bear to lose.
The first price is never the right price.This holds true for anywhere that the
price
isn't stamped onto the thing or clearly shown in some way.While arguing about
theprice doesn't come naturally to some.It's something you have to get used to if
you
don’t want to be ripped off over and over again.
Things go wrong when you travel—lots of things.The train is late,the money
ex-
change place is closed,the hotel has lost your booking,and you can feel a pain
in your
stomach that means last night's street food was a bad choice.But you have to be
able to
deal with these problems when you travel, or youll quickly go silly.
35.What makes travelers love their travel,according to the passage?
A.Time's going by. B.Lessons they've learnt.
C.The exercise they take. D.The new environment.
36.The second paragraph mainly tells us that .
A.traveling abroad causes a lot of problem
B.one must be brave to travel in the world
C.we’re better than we realize when traveling
D.nothing can stop us from going abroad
37.Which of the following is true, according to the passage?
A.We can get used to a different life style in a short time.
B.It's important to keep clean all the time when traveling.
C.First—time travelers are usually safe all over the world.
D.It's not necessary to buy things during our travel abroad.
38.From the last paragraph,we can infer that
A.we can only depend on luck when traveling
B.traveling is rather hard work than happy time
C.traveling service is not good all over the world
D.we must be ready to face problems when traveling
C
Where did that number come from?
Eleven and TwelveThe reason behind the change in number naming is that eleven comes from
the
German term ainlif, which translates to"one left". Twelve follows the same rule.It
comes from twalif—"two left".Why teen is used instead of lif for 13 through 19?
There is something sadly lost in history.
911 for US Emergency(急救) Calls
Early phones didn't use phone numbers—the operator had to connect your call by
hand—and this led to the need for an emergency code(信号). But later phone numbers
became popular,that changed.In 1967,911 was chosen as the nationwide emergency
call because it was easy to remember and could be quickly dialed (拔)on the phone.
26.2 Miles in a Marathon (马拉松)
The story began with an ancient Greek soldier carrying message from a battlefield
(战场)in Marathon to Athens.The modern marathon was born as a flagship event in the
first Olympic Games,in196,with a distance (of about 25 miles (40 km), as long as the
distance from Marathon to Athens.But race organizers for the 1908 Olympic Games in
London wanted to add something special.The race began at Windsor Castle and ended
at White City Stadium,with runners finishing only after passing the royal(皇室的) box.
The distance was 26.2 miles (42.1 km).And since 1924 this distance has been kept in
marathon.
28 Days in February
Before using the Gregorian calendar that we use today,one of the first Roman cal-
endars had only 304 days and ten months (March through December),with six months
of 30 days and four of 31 days.The second king of Rome improved the old calendar.
He added 50 days for January and February.To make the new months longer,he took
one day from each of the 30-day months, making 56 days to divide between January
and February (or 28 days each). Later January was given one more day to add up to
355 days a year,but February still had 28 days.That's how it became the shortest month
and it stayed that way ever since.
39.Which language do eleven and twelve come from?
A.English. B.German. C.French. D.Russian.
40.When was the number 911 chosen for US emergency calls?
A.In1896. B.In1908 C.In1924. D.1n1967.41.The marathon distance was made longer at London Olympic Games because .
A.the British was a little weak in maths
B.the British didn't like the Greek story
C.the British loved the royal family very much
D.the British wanted to make the race different
42.How many days were there in each month after the king improved the old
calendar?
A.28,29or31. B.28,30or31. C.28,29or30.
D.29,30or31.

"The world has never been a better place to live in"says science writer Matt Rid-
ley,"and it will keep on getting better."Read on to see how Ridley makes his case.
Right or wrong?You decide.
Compared with 50 years ago,when I was just four years old, people now make
nearly three times as much money,eat one third more food and expect to live one third
longer.In fact,it's hard to find any areas of the world that's worse off now than it was
then,even though the world population has more than doubled over that period.
One reason we are richer,healthier,taller,cleverer,longer—lived and freer than ever
before is that the four most basic human needs—food,clothing,fuel and shelter—have
grown much cheaper.Take one example:In 1800, a candle providing one hour's light
cost six hours work.In the 1880s,the same light from a lamp took 15 minutes work to
pay for.In 1950,it was eight seconds.Today,it's half a second.In these terms,we are
43,200 times better off than in1800.
In the United States,rivers,lakes,seas and air are getting cleaner all the time.A car
today produces less pollution traveling at full speed than a parked car did from leaks
(泄漏)in1970.
Although the world population is growing,the rate (率)of increase has been fall-
ing for 50 years.Across the world,national birth rates are lower now than in 1960,and
in the less developed world,the birth rate has almost halved.According to a research
report from the United Nations,population will start falling once it reaches 9.2 billion
in 2075.After all,there are already seven billion people on earth,and they are eating
better and better.In 1970s,there were 550 billion barrels (桶)of oil reserves (储存)in the world, and
in the 20 years that followed the world used up 600 billion.So by 1990,reserves should
have been overused by 50 billion barrels.Instead,it is reported there are 900 billion
today.They will last for many years and people will find something in place of oil long
before they run out.
The more we develop,the more we can develop.The more we invent,the more
inventions become possible.For 200 years,pessimists (people who believe that terrible
things will happen in future)have had all the headlines— even though optimists have
far more often been right.There are some reasons for pessimists.No charity(慈善机构)
ever raised money by saying things are getting better.No journalist ever got the front
page writing a story about how terrible things won't happen.Don't be a pessimist—dare
to be an optimist!
43.Today,providing one hour's light costs .
A.6 hours'work B.15 minutes work
C.8 seconds work D.0.5 second's work
44.Which of the following is true,according to the passage?
A.Things we used to need were much cheaper than they are today.
B.The pollution today is much more serious than it was long ago.
C.Population problem has nearly made the world stop developing.
D.It’s not necessary to be worried about oil reserves in the world.
45.What does the word "optimists"in the last paragraph mean?
A.People who are brave enough to face anything terrible.
B.People who can always tell good things from bad ones.
C.People who have hopeful and happy feelings about life.
D.People who don't easily believe what they’re told about.

【解析】
一、选择题
1，选C。句意为：永远都要记得把那些具有危险性的东西放到孩子们够不到的地方。touch
联系；sight视野；reach够到，此处与out of构成短语out of one's reach，指“在某人够不到
的地方”，符合句意；distance距离。
2.选B。考察冠词。本题第一空用泛指一段很短的距离，第二空特指说话双方都知道的那个
餐厅，故使用the。句意：不要着急，从这里到那个餐厅只有很短的一段距离。
3.选C。句意：由于地方政府的努力，大城市的就业率持续上升。代词为本题主要考查点。
由语境可知用it指代the employment rate。
4，选D。考查不定代词的用法。句意：“你是想喝茶还是咖啡？”“谢谢你，都不想喝。我
刚才已经喝了水了。”通过后面“Ive just had some water”可以判定是拒绝茶和咖啡。neither
表示对两者的否定。5.选B。with和，跟；随着；关于；和…一致：for为了，由于；at(表示位置)在；在(某时间
或时刻)；until到…为止；在…以前。结合句意“直到另行通知为止”可知until符合句意，
故选B项。
6.选B。本题主要考查动词词义辨析。A项，borrow“借用”；B项，open“宣布启用，开立；
开始（某事物）：打开”；C项，enter“进人；开始；参加”；D项，order“命令；整理”。
根据语境，此处表达“启用”之意，故正确答案为B。
T.选D。句意：昨天她在商场购物时偶遇了她的一个老朋友。come across偶遇；
turn down拒绝；deal with处理；take after长得像。
8.选B。句意：一Bob已经去了加拿大。一哦，那你能告诉我他什么时候走的吗？has gone to
表明Bob已经去了加拿大，则“离开”的动作发生在过去，陈述的是过去的事实，用一般过
去时即可，故正确答案为B。
9.选D。句意：在杰克从英格兰回家之前，他儿子就已经从大学毕业了。本题考查时态。
“By the time”意思是“在…之前”，在过去动作returned之前表示过去的过去，使用过去完
成时。故正确答案为D。
10.选A。句意：一孩子们在哪里？晚饭都快要毁了。一我希望他们不要总是都迟到。本题考
查wish从句。wish从句表示与现在事实相反的情况用一般过去时，根据are时态可知此处描
述现在情况，迟到也是现在发生的事实，所以wish从句用一般过去时。故正确答案为A。
l1，选A。句意，乘客只允许携带一件手提行李登机。考查词组be permitted to do sh:“被准许
做某事”，故选A。
12.选C。kow后边应该跟宾语从句，从句中缺少作do的宾语的连接代词，而that在宾语从句
中不作任何句子成分；which引导宾语从句时，意思为“哪一个”；what引导宾语从句作do
的宾语。故选C。
13.选B。先行词shop在从句中作customers的定语。which不能在定语从句中作定语，when
和where在从句中作状语。故选B项。
14，选C。句意：虽然规律运动很重要，但是运动时间太接近睡觉时间不是个好主意。本题
主要考查状语从句引导词辨析。f引导条件状语从句，意为“如果”；s引导时间状语从句，
意为“当。·时”；although引导让步状语从句，意为“虽然”；unless引导条件状语从句，
意为“除非”。前半句是“规律运动很重要”，后半句是“运动时间太接近睡觉
时间不是个好主意”，应为“虽然…但是”的连接关系。故正确答案为C。
15，选A。本题考查关系词。句中that fell down是apple的定语从句，引导词作从句主语，为
限定性定语从句，当先行词受all修饰时，限定性定语从句中只能由that引导从句。此句中先
行词apples前有all修饰，所以只能用that，故选A。句子译文：所有掉下来的苹果都被猪吃
掉了。
I6.选B。本题是名词性从句的考查。that引导she was invited to the ball的从句作为整个句子的
主语。
17.选D。分析句子结构可知，句子的谓语动词为“came out'”，主语为“The first extbook”，
空格处为“textbook”的后置定语，write与所修饰的词textbook是被动关系又由句中时间状语“in the l6 th century”可知，在时间上已经完成，因此用过去分词作后置定语。现在分词的完
成式不能作定语，故A项排除；不定式作定语表将来，故B项排除；being done表“正在
被”，即进行时，枚C项排除。因此D项符合语境，
l8.选A。even，much都可以修饰比较级。hot的比较级是hotter.。
19.选D。本题考查的是副词的用法，good是形容词，意为“好的”，wll是副词，在句中修
饰动词teach.friendly意为“友好地”，既是形容词也是副词，kindly意为“亲切地”，是副
词，在句中修饰动词treat.。句中含有not only…but also.…意为“不仅…而且…”句意为“我
们都喜欢他，不仅因为他很好地教我们，也因为他很亲切地对待我们，”
20.选B。句意：一对不起，利兹。我觉得我对你有点粗鲁。一不必在意，但是不要再这样了。
本题考查情景交际。A项Go ahead意为“去吧”：B项Forget it意为“不必在意”；C项It
depends意为“看情况”；D项With pleasure意为“很愿意效劳”；由上文可知这个人对待
Liz有点粗鲁，结合Liz的回答“但是不要再这样了”，可推知Liz是宽解这个人不必在意，
但希望类似的情况不要再发生。故正确答案为B。
二、完形填空
21，考查连词。A.as当…时候；B.when当…时候；C，before在…之前：D.after在…之后。
句意：他们建议人们在继续其他活动之前稍微睡一会。根据They say more Americans need to

22.考查动词。A.laugh笑；B.sleep睡觉：C，walk走路；D.move移动。句意：在今年较早的

诞节，在马来西亚也很受欢迎，而且是在不同的文化和背景下庆祝的。
对任何美食爱好者来说，一年中最盛大的活动将是马来西亚美食节，在首都吉隆坡选定的酒
店举行。
这些新传统中最受欢迎的是马来西亚的年终大甩卖，从11月一直持续到1月初。全国各地的
销售价格都比较便宜。说到庆祝活动，马来西亚人是世界上最慷慨的人之一。在一年中的许
多重要活动中，马来西亚人将按照“Rumah Terbuka”或“开放之家”的传统向朋友、家人和
陌生人（包括游客)开放家园。参加一个开放日是一个熟悉马来西亚的很好的机会，可以交朋
友和享受美味的当地食物。政府或地方团体有时也会在一个更大的地方，比如一个大礼堂，
举办一个开放日活动。欢迎每个人都参加这样的活动，这有助于营造一种积极的气氛。2015
年被定为马来西亚的节日年，所以现在是去马来西亚旅游的最佳时机。只要翻开这一页，就

当你第一次踏上这个大世界时，可能会有点担心，但随着时间的推移，你进入了新的环境，
你很快就会爱上它，因为每个旅行者都会学到一些关于自己、旅行和整个世界的知识。
你可能会认为你的语言会有问题，或者你方向感很差，或者你在陌生人面前很害羞，或者你
不能处理一些问题，但是一旦你陷入困境，必须靠自己在这个世界上生存下来，你会发现你
在这些事情上比你想象的要好得多。
每次我去野营或住在一个贫穷的旅馆，甚至吃街头食物，第一天的感觉都一样：生病了。洗
澡洗不干净。有人在我房间里吵闹。这食物会使我生病的。但是在经历了三天的任何程度的
不适之后，你就习惯了。然后就变得有趣了。
今天早上找不到吃早饭的地方了吗？别担心。整晚都在喝酒，现在你还得赶公共汽车？一切
都会好起来的。看上面的，大概要三天时间就会习惯」可能曾经你认为会让你非常不愉快的事情，如在肮脏的浴室洗澡，用肮脏的酒店毛巾擦干自
已，穿同样的T恤四天，从不洗袜子，一旦你旅行了几个月，就变得习惯了。保持清洁？这
是第一世界的问题。
初次旅行的人通常担心安全，但过了一段时间后，你就会意识到这个世界并不是来抓你的，
如果你只是保持轻度警觉，你在旅行时就很可能永远不会被偷。尽管如此你是不要带任何你
不愿意丢失的东西。
第一个价格永远不是正确的价格。这一点在任何价格没有压印在物品上或以某种方式清楚地
显示出来的地方都适用。对有些人来说，在价格问题上争论是不自然的。如果你不想一次又
一次地被敲诈，这是你必须习惯的事情。
当你旅行时，很多事情就会出错。火车晚点了，换钱的地方关门了，旅馆的预订发票也丢了，
你会感到胃痛，这就意味着昨晚的街头食品是个糟糕的选择。但是当你旅行的时候你必须能
够处理这些问题，否则你会很快变得愚蠢。

那个号码从哪里来的？
十一和十二
改变数字命名的原因是，l1来自德语术语ainlif，意思是“一个左边”。十二遵循了同样的规
则。它来自twalif--“两个左”。为什么l3到l9之间使用teen而不是1if?历史上一些悲伤的故
事被丢失了。
911紧急呼叫
早期的电话不使用电话号码，接线员必须用手接通你的电话，这就需要一个紧急代码。但后
来电话号码变得流行起来，情况发生了变化。1967年，911被选为全国紧急呼叫，因为它易
于记忆，而且可以在电话中快速拨打。
马拉松比赛中的26.2英里
故事开始于一个古希腊士兵从马拉松的战场带着信息到雅典。现代马拉松时诞生于1896年第
一届奥运会的旗舰项目，全长约25英里(40公里)，与从马拉松到雅典的距离一样长。但是
1908年伦敦奥运会的比赛组织者想增加一些特别的东西。比赛从温莎城堡开始，在白城体育
场结束，参赛者只有通过皇家包厢才结束比赛。长度是26.2英里(42.1公里)。自1924年以来，
马拉松比赛一直保持这种距离。
2月有28天
在使用我们今天使用的公历之前，最早的罗马历法只有304天共10个月(3月到12月)，其中
6个月是30天，4个月是31天。罗马第二位国王改进了1旧历法。他在一月和二月增加了50
天。为了延长新的月份，他从30天的每个月中抽出一天，抽出56天分到1月和2月中（或
者每个月28天）。后来，一月份多分了一天，一年中的天数增加到了355天，但二月仍然有
28天。这就是它变成了最短的一个月的经过，并一直保持这种状态。

科学作家马特·里德利说：“世界从来不是一个更适合居住的地方，它还会继续变得更好。”。
继续读下去，看看Ridly如何证明他的观点。对还是错？你自己判定。与50年前相比，那时我才4岁，现在人们的收入是过去的三倍，多吃三分之一的食物，预期寿命延长三分之一。
事实上，很难找到世界上任何一个地区的情况比当时更槽，尽管世界人口在这一时期增加了
一倍多。
我们比以往任何时候都更富有、更健康、更高、更聪明，寿命更长和更自由的一个原
因是，人类最基本的四大需求一一食物，衣服、燃料和住所变得越来越便宜。举个例子：
在1800年·一支蜡烛提供一个小时的光需要花费六个小时的工作量，在19世纪80年
代，同样的光从一盏台灯上照出来要花上15分钟的工作量。1950年是8秒。今天是半
秒钟。从这些方面来说，我们的生活比1800年好43200倍。
在美国，河流、湖泊、海洋和空气正变得越来越干净。如今，一辆汽车在全速行驶时
产生的污染比1970年停在路边的汽车少。
虽然世界人口在增长，但50年来增长率一直在下降。从世界范围来看，现在的国家
出生率低于1960年，而在欠发达国家，出生率几乎减半。根据联合国的报告，一旦人口
在205年达到92亿，人口就会下降。毕竟，地球上已经有70亿人，他们吃得越来越好。
20世纪70年代。世界石油储量为5500亿桶，随后的20年里，世界消耗了6000亿福
石油。所以到1990年，石油储备应该已经被过度使用了500亿桶。相反，据报道，目前
仍有90亿桶石油。它们会持续很多年，人们会在石油耗尽之前找到替代石油的东西。
我们发展得越多，我们就能发展得越多。我们发明的越多，更多的发明就更可能实
爱。0年来，悲观主义者（相信可怕的事情会在未来发生的人）占据了所有的头条新

不会发生。不要悲观，要敢于乐观！
