Cities usually have a good reason for being where they are, like a nearby port or
river. People settle in these places because they are easy to get to and naturally suited
to communications and trade. New York City, for example, is near a large harbour at
the mouth of the Hudson River. Over 300 years its population grew gradually from
800 people to 8 million. But not all cities develop slowly over a long period of time.
Boom towns grow from nothing almost overnight. In 1896, Dawson, Canada, was
unmapped wilderness (荒野). But gold was discovered there in 1897, and two years
later, it was one of the largest cities in the West, with a population of 30,000.
Dawson did not have any of the natural conveniences of cities like London or
Paris. People went there for gold. They travelled over snow-covered mountains and
sailed hundreds of miles up icy rivers. The path to Dawson was covered with thirty
feet of wet snow that could fall without warming. An avalanche(雪崩) once closed the
path, killing 63 people. For many who made it to Dawson, however, the rewards were
worth the difficult trip. Of the first 20,000 people who dug for gold, 4,000 got rich.
About 100 of these stayed rich men for the rest of their lives.
But no matter how rich they were, Dawson was never comfortable. Necessities
like food and wood were very expensive. But soon, the gold that Dawson depended
第2页（共10页）
on had all been found. The city was crowded with disappointed people with no
interest in settling down, and when they heard there were new gold discoveries in
Alaska, they left Dawson City as quickly as they had come. Today, people still come
and go — to see where the Canadian gold rush happened. Tourism is now the chief
industry of Dawson City — its present population is 762.
24. What attracted the early settlers to New York City?
A. Its business culture. B. Its small population.[来]
C. Its geographical position. D. Its favourable climate.
25. What do we know about those who first dug for gold in Dawson?
A. Two-thirds of them stayed there. B. One out of five people got rich.
C. Almost everyone gave up. D. Half of them died.
26. What was the main reason for many people to leave Dawson?
A. They found the city too crowded. B. They wanted to try their luck elsewhere.
C. They were unable to stand the winter. D. They were short of food.
27. What is the text mainly about?
A. The rise and fall of a city. B. The gold rush in Canada.
C. Journeys into the wilderness. D. Tourism in Dawson.

While famous foreign architects are invited to lead the designs of landmark
buildings in China such as the new CCTV tower and the National Center for the
Performing Arts, many excellent Chinese architects are making great efforts to take
the center stage.
Their efforts have been proven fruitful. Wang Shu, a 49-year-old Chinese
architect, won the 2012 Pritzker Architecture Prize — which is often referred to as the
Nobel Prize in architecture — on February 28. He is the first Chinese citizen to win
this award.
Wang serves as head of the Architecture Department at the China Academy of Art
(CAA). His office is located at the Xiangshan campus (校园) of the university in
Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province. Many buildings on the campus are his original
第3页（共10页）
creations.
The style of the campus is quite different from that of most Chinese universities.
Many visitors were amazed by the complex architectural space and abundant building
types. The curves (曲线) of the buildings perfectly match the rise and fall of hills,
forming a unique view.
Wang collected more than 7 million abandoned bricks of different ages. He asked
the workers to use traditional techniques to make the bricks into walls, roofs and
corridors. This creation attracted a lot of attention thanks to its mixture of modern and
traditional Chinese elements (元素).
Wang’s works show a deep understanding of modern architecture and a good
knowledge of traditions. Through such a balance, he had created a new type of
Chinese architecture, said Tadao Ando, the winner of the 1995 Pritzker Prize.
Wang believes traditions should not be sealed in glass boxes at museums. “That is
only evidence that traditions once existed,” he said.
“Many Chinese people have a misunderstanding of traditions. They think
tradition means old things from the past. In fact, tradition also refers to the things that
have been developing and that are still being created,” he said.
“Today, many Chinese people are learning Western styles and theories rather than
focusing on Chinese traditions. Many people tend to talk about traditions without
knowing what they really are,” said Wang.[来源:学K]
The study of traditions should be combined with practice. Otherwise, the
recreation of traditions would be artificial and empty, he said.
28. Wang’s winning of the prize means that Chinese architects are ___________.
A. following the latest world trend B. getting international recognition
C. working harder than ever before D. relying on foreign architects
29. What impressed visitors to the CAA Xiangshan campus most?
A. Its hilly environment. B. Its large size.
C. Its unique style.
D. Its diverse functions.
30. What made Wang’s architectural design a success?
A. The mixture of different shapes. B. The balance of East and West.
第4页（共10页）
C. The use of popular techniques. D. The harmony of old and new.
31. What should we do about Chinese traditions according to Wang?
A. Spread them to the world.
B. Preserve them at museums.
C. Teach them in universities.
D. Recreate them in practice.

Adults understand what it feels like to be flooded with objects. Why do we often
assume that more is more when it comes to kids and their belongings? The good news
is that I can help my own kids learn earlier than I did how to live more with less.
I found the pre-holidays a good time to encourage young children to donate less-
used things, and it worked. Because of our efforts, our daughter Georgia did decide to
donate a large bag of toys to a little girl whose mother was unable to pay for her
holiday due to illness. She chose to sell a few larger objects that were less often used
when we promised to put the money into her school fund (基金) (our kindergarten
daughter is serious about becoming a doctor).
For weeks, I’ve been thinking of bigger, deeper questions: How do we make it a
habit for them? And how do we train ourselves to help them live with, need, and use
less? Yesterday, I sat with my son, Shepherd, determined to test my own theory on
this. I decided to play with him with only one toy for as long as it would keep his
interest. I expected that one toy would keep his attention for about five minutes, ten
minutes, max. I chose a red rubber ball—simple, universally available. We passed it,
he tried to put it in his mouth, he tried bouncing it, rolling it, sitting on it, throwing it.
It was totally, completely enough for him. Before I knew it an hour had passed and it
was time to move on to lunch.
We both became absorbed in the simplicity of playing together. He had my full
attention and I had his. My little experiment to find joy in a single object worked for
both of us.
32. What do the words “more is more” in paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. The more, the better.
B. Enough is enough.
C. More money, more worries.
D. Earn more and spend more.
第5页（共10页）
33. What made Georgia agree to sell some of her objects?
A. Saving up for her holiday
B. Raising money for a poor girl
C. Adding the money to her fund
D. Giving the money to a sick mother
34. Why did the author play the ball with Shepherd?
A. To try out an idea B. To show a parent's love
C. To train his attention D. To help him start a hobby
35.What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Take It or Leave It
B. A Lesson from Kids
C. Live More with Less
D. The Pleasure of Giving

Before there was the written word, there was the language of dance. Dance
expresses love and hate, joy and sorrow, life and death, and everything else in
between.
36 We dance from Florida to Alaska, from north to south and sea to sea. We
dance at weddings, birthdays, office parties and just to fill the time.
“I adore dancing,” says Lester Bridges, the owner of a dance studio in Iowa. “I
can’t imagine doing anything else with my life.” Bridges runs dance classes for all
ages. “Teaching dance is wonderful. 37 It’s great to watch them. For many of
them, it’s a way of meeting people and having a social life.”
38 “I can tell you about one young couple,” says Bridges. “They’re learning
to do traditional dances. They arrive at the class in low spirits and they leave with a
smile.
39
”
So, do we dance in order to make ourselves feel better, calmer, healthier? Andrea
Hillier says, “Dance, like the pattern of a beating heart, is life. Even after all these
years, I want to get better and better. 40 I find it hard to stop! Dancing reminds me
I’m alive.”
A. So why do we dance?
B. Dance in the U.S. is everywhere.
第6页（共10页）
C. If you like dancing outdoors, come to America.
D. My older students say it makes them feel young.
E. I keep practicing even When I’m extremely tired.
F. Dancing seems to change their feeling completely.
G. They stayed up all night long singing and dancing.

I’m not sure 61 is more frightened, me or the female gorilla (大猩猩) that
suddenly appears out of nowhere. I’m walking on a path in the forest in the Central
African Republic. Unexpectedly, I’m face-to-face with the gorilla, who begins
screaming at 62 top of her lungs. That makes her baby scream, and then a 400-
pound male appears. He screams the 63 (loud) of all. The noise shakes the trees as
the male beats his chest and charges toward me. I quickly lower myself, ducking my
head to avoid 64 (look) directly into his eyes so he doesn’t feel 65 (challenge).
My name is Mireya Mayor. I’m a 66 (science) who studies animals such as apes
and monkeys. I was searching 67 these three western lowland gorillas I’d been
observing. No one had seen them for hours, and my colleagues and I were worried.

When the gorillas and I frightened each other, I was just glad to find 68 (they)
alive. True to a gorilla’s unaggressive nature, the huge animal 69 (mean) me no
real harm. He was just saying: “I’m king of this forest, and here is your reminder!”
Once his message was delivered, he allowed me 70 (stay) and watch.
