Safety lightsBNow many young people are traveling around the world on their own, not because they have no one to travel with, but because they prefer to go alone.Kristina Wegscheider from California first traveled alone when she was at college and believes that it is something everyone should do at least once in their life. “It opens up your mind to new things and pushes you out of your comfort zone.” Wegscheider has visited 46 countries covering all seven continents.In foreign countries, with no one to help you read a map, look after you if you get ill, or lend you money if your wallet is stolen, it is challenging. This is what drives young people to travel alone. It is seen as character building and a chance to prove that they can make it on their own.Chris Richardson decided to leave his sales job in Australia to go traveling last year. He set up a website, The Aussie Nomad, to document his adventures. He says he wished he had traveled alone earlier. “The people you meet, the places you visit, or the things you do, everything is up to you and it forces you to grow as a person,” said the 30-year-old man.Richardson describes traveling alone like “a shot in the arm”, which “makes you a more confident person that is ready to deal with anything”. He said, “The feeling of having overcome something on my own is a major part of what drives me each day when Im dealing with a difficult task. I walk around with my head up because I know deep down inside that nothing is impossible if you try.”The great 19thcentury explorer John Muir once said, “Only by going alone in silence can one truly get into the heart of the wilderness.”24Which of the following will Kristina Wegscheider agree with?A Traveling alone is a necessary experience for everyone.B It is more meaningful to travel in foreign countries.C It is comfortable to travel around without a friend.D Traveling abroad helps people to find new things.25Traveling alone is challenging because _.A you have to make things on your ownB it is hard for you to prove yourself to othersC you can only depend on yourself whatever happensD it will finally build your character26What can we infer about Chris Richardson?A He started traveling alone at an early age. B He was once shot in the arm.C He used to work as a salesman. D His website inspires others a lot.27What is the best title for the passage?A Travel Abroad B Travel Alone C Travel Light D Travel Wide and FarCThe Chinese have a saying: “Firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea are the seven necessities to begin a day.” Though tea is last on the list, we still can see its importance in daily life.A simple meal in Chinese is Cu Cha Dan Fan, namely coarse tea and tasteless dinner. Even a simple meal is finished off with tea so its importance is obvious.For the Chinese, tea drinking and tasting are not the same. Tea drinking is for refreshment effect.Tea tasting has cultural meaning. Tea and tea wares should match surrounding elements such as breeze, bright moon, pines, bamboo, plums and snow. All these show the goal of Chinese culture: the harmonious unity of human beings with nature.Tea is compared to personal character. Its fragrance is not aggressive; it is pleasant, low-keyed and lasting. A friendship between gentlemen is also like a cup of tea. With a cup of tea in hand, enjoying the green leaves in a white porcelain（瓷器） cup, you will feel peace. Fame, wealth and other earthly concerns are far away. It is the symbol of elegance.Similarly, tea-drinking habits vary in different parts of China. Roughly, scented tea is popular in northern China; green tea is preferred in eastern China, and black tea is optimum for people in Fujian and Guangdong.Notably, Yum Cha (tea drinking) is very popular in Hong Kong and Guangdong Province. Though dim sum, the true highlight of Yum Cha, is what attracts gourmets, tea is an essential part of the meal.28. Why does the writer use the Chinese saying in the first paragraph?A. Prove tea is the last. B. Express his love for China.C. Explain the Chinese saying. D. Show the teas importance.29. What is the goal of Chinese culture?A. Develop traditional culture. B. Drink as much tea as possible.C. The harmonious unity of human and nature. D. The combination of the east and west culture.30. What tea does a person from Guangdong probably like drinking according to the passage?A. Green tea.B. Black tea.C. Scented tea.D. Oolong tea.31. Which of the followings can be the best title for the passage?A. Tea culture in China B. How to drink tea C. Tea-drinking habits in China D. Tea and character D Hip-hop culture covers many fields; it includes spoken words, break-dancing, beat-making, painting, fashion, lively design, technology, and more. Hip-hop is becoming the unofficial music in the education world, as more artists launch school programs, summer camps, and other activities connected city youth in the classroom through the beliefs of hip-hop culture. Even more and more university teachers who once would have been strongly against hip-hop have joined the crew. In the past two decades, hip-hop culture, including hip-hop education, has become a legitimate(合法的) field of study in universities and the subject of numerous books. Hip-hop culture has influenced every piece of American and global culture because the culture is so prevalent. Teachers must be willing to engage in it if its part of the unique reality of their students lives. That way, teachers can truly be effective, reaching students in a meaningful, culturally connected way. Teachers might at first feel frightened by hip-hop culture, an area in which they might not have previous knowledge or experience. But a lack of knowledge is actually a blessing; the best trained hip-hop educators have been those that are at the beginning disconnected(分离的) from the culture. One of the biggest sayings in hip-hop is “keep it real”. If a teacher comes to the classroom and says, “I don t know hip-hop, but I recognize that its your culture and I want to learn,” the kids will teach the teacher, and then the students will be more willing to learn from that educator. Hip-hop is about a respect for youth culture.32. Those who once most probably disagree with hip-hop education are _.A. middle school teachers B. unofficial artistsC. the young living in cities D. university teachers33. The underlined word “prevalent” in Paragraph 2 most probably means _.A. familiar B. similar C. popular D. regular34. The author finds teachers lacking in hip-hop culture might be beneficial because _.A. students will frighten teachers at schoolB. teachers can learn from students in the fieldC. teachers will connected the culture with lessonsD. teachers knowledge or experience will be enriched35. Who would the young like to learn from?A. Those who respect their culture. B. Those who are interested in music.C. Those who keep their character real. D. Those who are willing to learn from others.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。With the development of society, the life span of humans has stretched. Both men and women are living longer these days in industrialized countries. 36 In general, they can expect to live six or seven years more than men. One reason for this is biological.One important biological factor that helps women live longer is the difference in hormones between men and women. 37 Between the ages of about 12 and 50, women produce hormones that are involved in fertility(生育能力). These hormones also have a positive effect on the heart and blood flow. In fact, women are less likely to have high blood pressure or to die from heart attacks.38 They help the boy defend itself against some kinds of infections. This means that women generally get sick less often and less seriously than men. The common cold is a good example: women, on average, get fewer colds than men. 39 Scientists are still not exactly sure how genes influence aging, but they believe that they do. Some think that a womans body cells have a tendency to age more slowly than a mans. Others think that a mans body cells have a tendency to age more quickly. 40 ARecent research seems to support both of these possibilities.B The female hormones also protect the body in another way. C Women are also helped by their female genes.DThe biological factor plays an important part.E. However, women, on average, live longer.F. Therefore, women are more healthy than men and can live a better life.G. Hormones are chemicals which are produced by the body to control various body functions.第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分）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，选出可以填人空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。When I was young, my father invited my grandmother to come from Ecuador and live with us.
