From great city views to amazing natural wonders, the trip will be quite a delight for your body and eyes. San Alfonso del Mar, Chile Stated by the Guinness Book of World Records as the worlds largest outdoor pool, the man-made pool at San Alfonso del Mar measures 3,323 feet in length, covers an area of 19 acres and holds 250,000,000 liters of water, which basically makes this 6,000 swimming pools in one. Probably the most amazing thing about this pool is that its all preserved ocean water, which lets you pretend youre swimming in the middle of the most beautiful part of the sea. Nemo 33, Belgium Belgium is home to a large number of delicious foods, including chocolate and fruit beer, 英语试题第 4 页 共 12 页 but also to the worlds deepest indoor pool. Designed by Belgian civil engineer and diving expert John Beernaerts, Nemo 33 is a recreational and multi-purpose diving instruction center located in Brussels. Being indoors, it welcomes visitors 365 days a year. The main attraction of the multi-level pool is the diving pool that goes down to a depth of 113 feet. Bondi Icebergs, Australia Winter swimming is an unbelievably popular sport in Australia. On a typical cold morning, the average water temperature is around 60 degrees Fahrenheit, but is sometimes much lower. So it requires that you have a good physical quality. The Bondi Icebergs Swimming Club was founded in 1929 and is the only winter swimming club which has official permission in the world. The sea waves regularly crash into the ocean-side pool. Its what Australians call “fast water”. Infinity Pools of Pamukkale, Turkey Ive always said that nature is one of the greatest designers. These images made in Pamukkale, a World Heritage Site located in southwestern Turkey were so amazing. Pamukkale contains some of the oldest hot springs known to man, having been formed at least 14,000 years ago. Pamukkale is about 8,860 feet long, 1,970 feet wide and 525 feet high. 21.

To introduce some wonderful places of interest. B There isnt any doubt that Positive thinking is valuable after you find out you have cancer. But will positive thoughts help the cancer go away? There have been a number of studies on this subject, but none of the studies say that positive thinking is a factor in helping cancer go away, or that negative feelings can make cancer worse. So, is there a reason to have a positive attitude? Of course there is. While I understand the danger of my illness, I choose not to focus on statistics. I always imagine myself as being among the smaller group of patients who survive. Why do I do that? So I can sleep well; so I can plan a trip for two days from now; so I have a reason to begin writing another book with the expectation that Ill finish it; so my husband and I can enjoy lunch out; so I can reach out to someone else whos having a difficult time and offer them encouragement. A positive attitude can also help family members feel better so they can contribute to a more loving family environment. Most cancer patients, as well as their family members, know all too well how dangerous cancer can be. Its difficult to carry on when patients receive bad news. But a positive attitude helps me want to do things that I know are beneficial to my health, and helps me through the thinning hair, tiredness and low blood counts which are the side effects of my treatment. So, I prefer to stay happy and positive. I do my best not to think too much about all the hospital visits, and I try not to panic if I feel any pain. Instead, I seek joy as much as I can, and because I am seeking joy, I find joy. Being positive might not save you from cancer, but I can almost guarantee you that if you are positive, you will find meaning in your life, as well as happiness in every day that you live. 25. According to the first two paragraphs, studies show that . A. positive thinking can save patients from cancer B. negative thinking is very likely to make cancer worse C. positive thinking cannot help patients get rid of cancer 英语试题第 6 页 共 12 页 D. ones attitude has a direct effect on cancer 26. After the author found out she had cancer, . A. she was sure she would survive B. she tried to enjoy her life and help others C. she refused to go through painful treatment D. she was quite troubled by the seriousness of her illness 27. It can be concluded from the authors experiences that positive thinking . A. makes cancer treatment painless for patients B. makes it much harder for people to accept bad news C. prepares family members for what may happen next D. helps create a good environment for patients 28. The author wrote this article mainly to . A. tell patients how to fight against illness B. explain the danger of cancer to readers C. stress the importance of a positive attitude D. help readers find meaning and happiness in life C The old traditional saying about sleeping with one eye open in an unfamiliar place may not be too far off the mark. Over the course of three experiments on 35 young and healthy volunteers, researchers in a new study measured brain activity during two continuous nights of sleep. Sasaki and colleagues performed a series of lab tests by stimulating the left and then the right hemisphere(大脑的半球)with sounds. On the second night, there wasnt any difference in reactions to tests between the left and right hemispheres, even during deep sleep. This suggests that there is a first-night-only effect specifically in one hemisphere of the brain during deep sleep, the authors conclude. The way participants responded to the sleep lab tests points to the potential for the brain to be on high alert for danger during the first night in unfamiliar surroundings. While this may be bad news for business travelers who regularly make brief overnight trips, it may not be as troublesome for people who go away for longer periods of time, Sasaki added by email. “Frequent travel may lead to unrestful sleep,” Sasaki said. “But if you stay for a few days at the same place, your sleep might catch up.” 英语试题第 7 页 共 12 页 Some birds have been found to actually sleep with one eye open and one side of the brain awake when theyre in a dangerous setting, and some marine mammals have similar abilities, the authors note. But the new study focuses on healthy volunteers but not people with insomnia or other sleep disorders, the authors note. “The clinical implications havent been confirmed at the moment,” Finan, a psychiatry and behavioral health researcher said. “However, the level of specificity provided by these analyses could be an important first step in understanding what sleep disorders like insomnia(失眠) arise from, which is thought to be driven in many patients by continuing having a lot of worries.” 29. What do the underlined words “may not be too far off the mark” in Paragraph 1 mean? A. May make sense B. May be ridiculous. C. May cause arguments D. May be disturbing. 30. What is the purpose of Sasaki and his colleagues when they did the tests? A. To prove why all the old traditional sayings are practical. B. To find out how being in a strange place affects sleep. C. To explain what trouble the frequent travelers will meet. D. To show whether their experiments apply to other animals. 31. According to Finan, the study is helpful in . A. finding out the root cause of sleep disorders B. telling the effect of worries on sleep disorders C. comforting as many patients with sleep disorders as possible D. offering ways to free the patients from the suffering of sleep disorders D What if I told you that a hundred thousand San Franciscans did not have electricity or water at home? I imagine many of you would call for our government to step in and help. Now, substitute the Internet for water and electricity. Would you still be upset? According to the latest analysis from the City, more than a hundred thousand residents do not have access to the Internet at home. Almost two years ago, CivicMakers began organizing community events to close the digital divide and bring a public broadband network to San Francisco. Yet the problem still hasnt been solved. “High-speed broadband is not a luxury Its a necessity. Broadband Internet service has 英语试题第 8 页 共 12 页 steadily become a core(核心)tool and is now taking its place alongside water and electricity,” according to the White House. America is the birthplace of the Internet, yet were falling behind nationally and globally. According to the report, each San Franciscan only needs to pay up to $26 for high-speed Internet via a Public-Private partnership model. Or under a purely public, it is estimated that the City would pay $393.7 million in construction costs and $103.2 million in annual costs. If any city can solve this problem, its San Francisco. We should be a model for others and we should build for the future. We have led the charge on equal rights, access to healthcare and pressing environmental issues. It is time that we should provide the infrastructure(基础设施)to all residents to compete in our modern economy. Those who cannot afford this basic right should be offered a hand to lift them up. I believe like many of you that Internet access is a basic economic right. Its not a nice thing to have; its a must to have. Its time for us to open the door for all San Franciscans to thrive(兴 盛). 32. How did the author put forward the topic of the passage? A. By making comparisons. B. By asking questions. C. By giving examples. D. By analyzing the cause and effect. 33. Why does the author mention what the White House says? A. To show the Internet is a luxury to many. B. To show access to the Internet is essential. C. To show the reason why the Internet is important. D. To show the White House care about the Internet. 34. What can we learn from Paragraph 3? A. It is too costly to help San Franciscans use the Internet. B. San Franciscans can get a number of supports from the government. C. San Franciscans can access the Internet because America is the birthplace of it. D. It is quite possible to help San Franciscans access the Internet. 35. The text is meant to . A. explain the governments important role in the citys thriving 英语试题第 9 页 共 12 页 B. show how the Internet affects our life C. promote the Internet access in San Franciscans D. show the importance of modern technology 第二节 （共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多 余选项。 There are some people who are always on the lookout for ways to contribute and make life easier for others. Here are some ways you can be helpful today. Listen to the person. Sometimes, the help that is actually needed will be different from the help you initially intend to provide. 36 The more the other person talks to you about whats going on, the more targeted your assistance will be. Suggest something specific. 37 So when you ask them “How can I help?”, they might not know what to tell you. Therefore, its better to make a recommendation to them. 38 When people suffer a setback at work, they usually believe that they will never feel good about their work again. In a case like this, it can be useful to point out the good that might result from exploring a new opportunity or learning an important skill. Reach out to a stranger. 39 Helping co-workers, friends and family members in times of need is always appreciated, but its especially meaningful to provide assistance for those outside your circle. Be sincere in your giving. If you really dont want to do something, dont offer. 40 It is obvious to the other person when you are helping them out of force. Adding guilt and discomfort to their plate is the last thing they need. A. Help them see the positive side. B. Sometimes even a little help can make a big difference. C. Unexpected love often makes people feel more touched. D. The best way to determine what to offer is to be a good listener. E. People who are under a lot of stress are not always thinking clearly. F. Your attitude can have a big influence on the other person. G. Practice giving freely of yourself without expecting anything in return. 第三部分第三部分 语言语言知识运用（共两节，满分知识运用（共两节，满分 45 分）分） 英语试题第 10 页 共 12 页 第一节 完形填空（共 20 小 题；每小题 1.5 分，满分 30 分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C 和 D）中，选出可以填入空 白处最佳选项。 In 2011, I was a Physical Education teacher for high-risk youth.
