My travel decisions assumed a new gravity nine years ago after I suffered a stroke. To prevent another stroke, my doctors told me, Id have to take dangerously high levels of blood thinner (血液稀释剂) for the rest of my life and any travel would be risky.I had to think about what was important to me: family, of course, and friends. But then what? No matter how many times I thought about it, no bucket list was complete without travel. Then I had to decide how I might manage the risk. I had to decide how lucky I felt.My return to travel after my stroke came in baby steps. The first real test of my travel courage came nine months after my stroke when I joined my husband, Jack, on a business trip to China. After wed toured the remains of a Tang dynasty temple on a high mountain, Jack wanted to ride down on a toboggan (长雪橇).Before the stroke it wouldve seemed like fun. But now? I hesitated. My mental klaxon (高音喇叭) screamed warnings about the consequences of a cut, a fall, and a crash. Then, gaining confidence from who knows where, I lowered myself carefully into the toboggan, which marked my adventure travel comeback.In the years since then, Ive traveled about twenty-five percent of the time. Through it all, my lucks held out no deadly falls, no car accidents or serious infections. For me, adventure travel is a risk worth taking. Travel broadens my world and keeps me connected to nature. Whats more, saying “yes” to travel keeps me connected to myself.24. What does the underlined word “perilous” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A. Unique.B. Dangerous.C. Historical.D. Famous.25. What did the doctors advise the author to do?A. Do proper exercise.B. Enjoy the rest of her life.C. Keep away from traveling.D. Spend more time with her family.26. Why did the author mention her travel to China?A. It was her last adventure.B. She recovered her courage through it.C. She liked the beautiful scenery in China.D. It was the most dangerous experience in her life.27. What is the best title for the text?A. A business trip to ChinaB. Unique travel experiencesC. Why I still travel to the wildD. How I overcame the fear of disease【答案】24. B 25. C 26. B 27. C【解析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述的是去中国的一次旅行。【24题详解】词义猜测题。根据第一段中the jungles of Thailand or Borneo, for example, where the water is often unsafe and the food risky; places with infectious diseases, poisonous snakes and the wildest animals; some places where the locals are just a few generations past headhunting.“例如，泰国或婆罗洲的丛林，那里的水往往不安全，食物也很危险;有传染病、毒蛇和野生动物的场所;有些地方的本地人刚刚过了猎头的时代。”可推知划线词的意思是“危险的”。故选B。【25题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段中To prevent another stroke, my doctors told me, Id have to take dangerously high levels of blood thinner (血液稀释剂) for the rest of my life and any travel would be risky.“我的医生告诉我，为了防止再次中风，我的余生都必须服用高剂量的危险血液稀释剂，任何旅行都是有风险的。”可知，医生建议作者远离旅行。故选C。【26题详解】推理判断题。根据第四段中The first real test of my travel courage came nine months after my stroke when I joined my husband, Jack, on a business trip to China.“中风九个月后，我和丈夫杰克一起去中国出差，这是对我旅行勇气的第一次真正考验。”可知，作者之所以提到她的中国之行是因为她通过这件事恢复了勇气。故选B。【27题详解】主旨大意题。根据最后一段中For me, adventure travel is a risk worth taking. Travel broadens my world and keeps me connected to nature. Whats more, saying “yes” to travel keeps me connected to myself.“对我来说，冒险旅行是值得冒险的。旅行开阔了我的世界，使我与大自然保持联系。更重要的是，对旅行说“是”让我和自己保持联系。”可知，本文讲述的是去中国的一次旅行。故选C。CThe new president of Harvard University is the son of an Eastern European refugee and Auschwitz (奥斯威辛) survivor Lawrence S. Bacow. His father worked full time while attending a state college in Detroit at night to earn his degree.Bacow, the former president of Tufts University, has taken over Harvard at a time when higher education is under attack for being financially out of reach to many Americans. But Bacow said his familys journey had reflected the power of college education to transform generations and the opportunities that have historically been available in the United States.“My parents came to this country with almost nothing,” Bacow said. “I wouldnt be here if this country had not been open to people like my parents at that time. Nor would I if my father hadnt had the opportunity to get the college education.”Bacow grew up in Pontiac, Michigan. His fathers family fled anti-Jewish (反犹太的) violence in Minsk, then part of the Soviet Union, before the start of World War II and went to the United States. His mother arrived in Brooklyn at age 19, having survived Auschwitz concentration camp. She was the only Jew from her town to have survived the war. Yet Bacow, who is married with two sons, said that while growing up in Michigan, he had a happy childhood, entering science fairs as a child and building radios like his dad.Bacow has spent most of his professional career at MIT, Harvard and Tufts. He was a professor of environmental studies at MIT, and later a principal at the university. He led Tufts from 2001 to 2011. At Tufts, Bacow earned a reputation for shaking up a sleepy university that was being overshadowed by its peers in Boston. He is also credited with leading it through both 9/11 and the 2008 financial crisis.As the Tufts president, Bacow traveled around the country, reaching out to alumni (校友), and he urged his faculty and deans to do the same, in an effort to boost donations to finance Tufts academic ambitions. He raised more than $20 million for faculty recruitment, attracting up-and-coming professors by offering junior faculty perks (福利), such as long academic leaves that they couldnt get elsewhere.Under Bacows leadership, Tufts spent millions on labs and libraries. He also made addresses nationally about the need to make higher education more accessible and affordable to low-income students.28. The reason why Bacow appreciates college education is that .A. college education is out of reach to many AmericansB. his family changed their fate due to college educationC. few opportunities were available when his father came into the countryD. a college degree helped his mother survive Auschwitz29. What can we infer from the passage?A. The fellow townspeople of Bacow were all killed besides his mother.B. Bacows mother stimulated his interest in science.C. Bacows father was good at working with electronics.D. Bacows father came to the U.S. after World War II broke out.30. The underlined word “shaking up” in paragraph 5 probably means .A. reactivatingB. causingC. damagingD. taking over31. What is this passage mainly about?A. How to be admitted to Harvard University.B. The history of Bacows family.C. The art of Bacows leadership in Tufts.D. Bacows way to individual success.【答案】28. B 29. C 30. A 31. D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇名人传记。文章讲述的是Bacow的个人成功之路。【28题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段中his familys journey had reflected the power of college education to transform generations and the opportunities that have historically been available in the United States.“他的家庭经历反映了大学教育改变几代人的力量，以及美国历史上一直存在的机遇。”可知，【29题详解】推理判断题。根据第四段中Yet Bacow, who is married with two sons, said that while growing up in Michigan, he had a happy childhood, entering science fairs as a child and building radios like his dad.“Bacow欣赏大学教育的原因是他的家庭因为大学教育改变了他们的命运”。可知，Bacow的父亲擅长电子产品。故选C。【30题详解】词义猜测题。根据第五段中He is also credited with leading it through both 9/11 and the 2008 financial crisis.“他还因领导美国度过911和2008年金融危机而受到赞誉。”可知，Bacow earned a reputation for shaking up a sleepy university that was being overshadowed by its peers in Boston.“Bacow因改变了一所沉睡的在波士顿的其他大学面前黯然失色的大学而赢得了声誉。”推知划线词的意思是“使-恢复”。故选A。【31题详解】主旨大意题。根据最后一段Under Bacows leadership, Tufts spent millions on labs and libraries. He also made addresses nationally about the need to make higher education more accessible and affordable to low-income students.“在Bacow的领导下，Tufts花了数百万美元在实验室和图书馆上。他还在全国范围内发表演讲，阐述让低收入学生更容易接受和负担得起高等教育的必要性。”本文讲述的是Bacow的个人成功之路。故选D。【点睛】概括主旨的方法是：先看首尾或各段开头再看全文找主题句，若无明显主题句，就通过关键词句来概括(如议论文中寻找表达作者观点态度的词句，记叙文寻找概括情节和中心的动词或反映人物特点的形容词)。文中出现两种或两种以上的不同观点时，务必牢记作者的观点才是体现全文中心的。本文第4小题，根据最后一段Under Bacows leadership, Tufts spent millions on labs and libraries. He also made addresses nationally about the need to make higher education more accessible and affordable to low-income students.“在Bacow的领导下，Tufts花了数百万美元在实验室和图书馆上。他还在全国范围内发表演讲，阐述让低收入学生更容易接受和负担得起高等教育的必要性。”本文讲述的是Bacow的个人成功之路。故选D。DProfessional athletes pay a high price for their pursuit of excellence and glory. Training to the limit tears muscles and wears out joints. Gymnasts often need hip replacements when barely into middle age. Few footballers make it to the end of their careers with their knees intact.But many also run a darker risk: doping the use of banned athletic performance-enhancing drugs by athletic competitors. The Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, in South Korea, starts this week in its shadow. Years after whistle-blowers first revealed wholesale (大规模的) doping in Russia, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) at last decided to bar it from taking part. But it has allowed many Russians to compete as individuals. And on the eve of the competition the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) said that 28 others should receive a more tolerant penalty from the IOC, further muffling the anti-doping message.Russias doping is unusual only in its scale and institutional nature. No country or sport is immune. Studies, and an anonymous survey at the World Athletics Championships in 2011, suggest that a third of athletes preparing for big international competitions take banned substances. Yet just 1-2% fail a test each year. Lance Armstrong, a cyclist who won the Tour de France seven times and later admitted to doping all the while, was tested on 250 occasions. The few times he failed, he avoided punishments by claiming he had taken anti-inflammatories (消炎药) for saddle-sores (骑行引起的肌肉酸痛).Doping is more sophisticated than when some states used steroids (类固醇) to bulk up athletes. New drugs are designed to be undetectable in a blood or urine sample. Many athletes “blood dope,” receiving transfusions or taking a drug that stimulates the production of red blood cells to improve their physical strength. Soviet athletes who were fed steroids suffered a host of serious problems in later life. They were more likely to commit suicide, or to miscarry (流产) or have a disabled child. No one knows what risks those taking new “designer” versions are running. Blood-doping can cause heart attacks; more than a dozen cyclists deaths have already been linked to it.The agencies that set out to stop doping are hugely outclassed. As the argument over punishments on Russia illustrate, they are divided and weak. Most testing is done by national bodies, which may not try very hard to find evidence that would get their own stars banned. The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), which oversees them, is packed with officials from national sports federations and the IOC. Their interests are likewise conflicted. Its budget is tiny. The system seems to be designed to look tough but punish only the occasional scapegoat (替罪羊). Honest athletes deserve better.32. The word “muffling” (in p
