But to make sure not to get lost or waste time going round in circles, the following tips may be helpful. Do the map reading if youre being driven somewhere. Itll be easier if you keep the map following the direction you are traveling in. Keep looking ahead so that you can give the driver lots of warning before having to make a turn, or youll have to move to the back seat. Get a group of friends together and go exploring. Youll need a good map, a compass , a raincoat, a cell phone to call for help in case you get lost, and a bit of spare cash for emergencies .Tell someone where youre going before you set out and let them know what time you expect to be back. The purpose of the activity is in not getting lost, not in seeing how fast you can go, so always stick together, waiting for slower friends to catch up. See if your school or a club organizes orienteering（越野识途比赛）activities, in which you need a map and a compass to find your way. This can be done as a sport, with teams trying to find the way from A to B(and B to C, etc. ) in the fastest time, or simply as a spare-time activity. It enables you to be familiar with the use of maps and compass and gain some special skills. In some way, its not only good fun, but also a great way to keep fit.21.When you sit beside the driver, youd better_.A. look ahead to see where there is a gas stationB. move to the back seat if feeling uncomfortableC. keep looking at the map to find another place to go toD. direct the driver when necessary22.In the exploration, why do you need wait for the slower friends?A. To share the fun with him/her in explorationB. To tell him/her whats going on with group members.C. To avoid yourself or your friends getting lostD. To show them how fast you can go23.What does the whole passage talk about?A. the fun of exploration B. what to bring for explorationC. how to prevent people getting lost in exploration D. the way to use a map in explorationBDavid and Amir first met in their chemistry class at an American university. Amir was an international student from Jordan. He was excited to get to know an American. He wanted to learn more about American culture and hoped that he and David would become good friends. At first, David seemed very friendly. He always greeted Amir warmly before class. Sometimes he offered to study with Amir. He even invited Amir to have lunch with him. But after the term was over, David seemed distant. The two former classmates didnt see each other very much at school. One day Amir decided to call David. David didnt seem very interested in talking to him. Amir was hurt by Davids change of attitude. “David said we were friends,” Amir complained. “And I thought friends were friends forever.” Amir is a little confused. As a foreigner, he doesnt understand the way Americans view friendship. Americans use the word “friend” in a very general way. They may call both casual acquaintances(熟人) and close companions “friends”. These friendships are based on common interests. When the shared activity ends, the friendship may be gone. Now as David and Amir are no longer classmates, their friendship has changed. In some cultures friendship means a strong lifelong bond between two people. In these cultures friendships develop slowly, since they are built to last. American society is one of rapid change. Studies show that one out of five American families moves every year. American friendships develop quickly, and they may change just quickly as well . People from the United States may at first seem friendly. Americans often chat easily with strangers. But American friendliness is not always an offer of true friendship. After an experience like Amirs people whove been in this country for only a few months may consider Americans to be changeable. Learning how Americans view friendship can help non-Americans avoid misunderstandings. It can also help them make friends in the American way.24.According to the passage, _ made Amir a little confused.A. Davids inviting him to dinner B. Davids studying with himC. Davids cold attitude D. Davids misunderstanding him25. In paragraph 2, the underlined word “ they” means_.A. American families B. American friendships C. people from the United States D. misunderstandings 26. Why do American friendships develop and change so quickly?A. Americans may not only call casual acquaintances but close companions “ friends”B. American society is one of rapid change, and the families move frequently.C. Americans often seem friendly, and chat easily with strangers at first.D. Americans think friendship means a strong lifelong relationship between two people.来源:学&科&网Z&X&X&K 27. This passage mainly tells us_.A. how Americans view friendship B. that everyone needs friends.C. the importance of keeping friendshipD. that people should not make friends with Americans.CTerrible disasters in the last 50 or 100 years have become increasingly common. Over the last 30 years, the number of weather-related disasters has increased quickly, and the disasters have also affected more people and caused more economic loss. However, much of this could be avoided through disaster risk reduction(DRR降低灾难风险).A meeting, held in Sendai, Japan last month, opened one day after Cyclone Pam（飓风Pam）hit Vanuatu, which struck the islands with winds of up to 340km/h and destroyed the island nation. The speech by the President of Vanuatu was given shortly after that. He begged the international community for support and stronger commitment (承诺)to helping them manage climate and disaster risks. In the face of disasters, it is always the developing countries that suffer most. Damage in these countries is often worse and unluckily, there is limited money and technique to prevent these disasters.In fact, we have seen Asian countries-especially those that have suffered a lot in disasters cant pay the price. Great loss Asia has suffered comes to a total of almost $ 53 billon yearly over the past 20 years.At the same time, studies have shown once again that proper prevention saves lives and damage. With this in mind, people at the Sendai meeting were able to come up with new agreements that effective ways of disaster risk reduction will be carried out in the coming years for those who easily get damaged in disasters.28.According to the first paragraph, disasters _. A. can all be prevented B. have become more frequent C. are all weather-related ones D. affect fewer people than before29. We can know from the passage that_. A. The Sendai meeting was held one day after a cyclone hit Vanuatu B. Vanuatu was terribly destroyed by an earthquake C. The president of Vanuatu begged his country to prevent the disaster D. Vanuatu is a small island in Japan30. Which of the following can be the title of this news report? A. Proper ways that save lives and damage have come up. B. The Sendai meeting has made new commitments. C. Natural disasters have become more common. D. Some natural disasters can be reduced and avoided.第二节 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。 注意：此题答案写在第二卷上Everyone cant live without money. _31_ However, money cannot buy everything.
