Cycle travel is a cheap form of transportation.DistanceOn level terrain ( 地 形 )，without a headwind, a cyclist of average fitness on a touring bike can comfortably cover 60120km a day. Distances of up to 250km a day are possible, but anything much beyond 120km will require considerable physical tension and not allow many stops to enjoy the places you visit. For many,80100km a day will be the most suitable distance to aim for, as it will give a sense of achievement and also leave plenty of time for meals and activities.GeographyThe gradient ( 坡 度 ) of the trip will reduce your range. A basic rule is that for every 100 meters of altitude you climb, you should add an extra 15 minutes to your journey time. In hilly or mountainous areas, the easiest routes for cycling are downstream along major rivers, as overall they will be downhill. A long, roundabout route along a river will usually be easier than a short, direct route over a hill or mountain pass. However, it is worth bearing in mind that the most scenic routes often come from hilly terrain.EatFood choice depends largely on where you are, so see the respective sections for more information about foods. As you will be working hard, its important to get enough energy in your food. On long trips away from major townsthere may be little quality food available, so be prepared to live on candy bars, prepared meat products and the like if the need arises.SleepWhile you can take a tent with you, many hotels and especially campsites can accommodate cyclists. However, there are also some hotels that may be less used to accommodating cyclists. If you are exploring an unfamiliar world, asking about the accommodation spares you the search for a new place to stay after a long exhausting day of travel.21. Which of the following distance does the author suggest to ordinary cyclists a day?A50km. B90km.C130km.D250km.22. From the passage, we can learn that . Ahigh quality food is easy to get on long tripsB. hotels seldom provide accommodation for cyclistsC. cycling over a mountain is challenging but worthyD. it takes cyclists 15 minutes to climb 100m of altitude 23We can probably read this passage in .Aa travel magazineBa research reportCa science fictionDa geography bookBSeveral times my daughter had telephoned to say, “Mum, you must come and see the daffodils (水仙花) before they are over.”I wanted to go, but it was a two-hour drive from Lake Arrowhead. I will go next Tuesday, I promised, a little unwillingly, on her third call.The next Tuesday dawned cold and rainy. Still, I had promised, and so I drove there. When I finally walked into Carolyns house and hugged and greeted my grandchildren, I said, Forget the daffodils, Carolyn! The road is invisible (看不见的) in the cloud and fog, and there is nothing in the world except you and these children that I want to see!My daughter smiled calmly and said, We drive in this weather all the time, Mum. You will never forgive yourself if you miss this experience.After about twenty minutes, we turned onto a small road and I saw a small church. On the far side of the church, I saw a hand-lettered sign that read Daffodil Garden? We got out of the car and each took a childs hand, and I followed Carolyn down the path. Then, we turned a comer of the path, and I looked up amazed. Before me lay the most beautiful sight. Flows of flowers of different colors seemed poured down the peak and slopes. There were five acres of flowers! A seas of daffodil! It was like a fairyland all beyond description.But who has done this? I asked Carolyn. Its just one woman, Carolyn answered. Thats her home, Carolyn pointed to a well-kept A-frame house that looked small and modest in the midst of all that glory. We walked up to the house. On the patio (露台), we saw a poster. Answers to the Questions I Know You Are Asking was the headline.The first answer was a simple one. 50,000 bulbs (鳞茎) it read. The second answer was, One at a time, by one woman. The third answer was, Began in 1958.I thought of this woman whom I had never met, who, more than fifty years before, had begun-one bulb at a time-to bring the beauty and joy to the mountain top. Just planting one bulb at a time, year after year, had changed the world where she lived and created something of magnificence, beauty, and inspiration. When we multiply tiny pieces of time with small amounts of daily effort, we too can accomplish great things. Everyone can do something to change the world.24. The writer wasnt going to see the daffodils at first because .A. the weather was not good enoughB. she cared more about the childrenC. it was not easy for her to drive thereD. they were growing on the mountain top25. What do we know about the woman living in the A-frame house?A. She must be out of mind.B. She worked as a professional gardener there.C. Being poor, she made a living by selling daffodils.D. It took her great determination to grow the daffodils.26. What has the writer learned from this experience?A. Its never too late to learn.B. A small step at a time，a great change in life.C. People can change the world by growing flowers.D. We must put the interest of others above our own.27. Which may be the best title for the passage?A. One Bulb at a Time.B. The Daffodil GardenC. A woman and DaffodilsD. An Unforgettable ExperienceCWe can achieve knowledge either actively or passively. We achieve it actively by direct experience, by testing and proving an idea, or by reasoning.We achieve knowledge passively by being told by someone else. Most of the learning that takes place in the classroom and the kind that happens when we watch TV or read newspapers or magazines is passive. We are used to passive learning, and its not surprising that we depend on it in our everyday communication with friends and co-workers. Unfortunately, passive learning has a serious problem. It makes us tend to accept what we are told even when it is little more than hearsay and rumor.Did you ever play the game Rumor? It begins when one person writes down a message but doesnt show it to anyone. Then the person whispers it, word for word, to another person. That person, in turn, whispers it to still another, and so on, through all the people playing the game. The last person writes down the message word for word as he or she hears it. Then the two written statements are compared. Typically, the original message has changed.Thats what happens in daily life. The simple fact that people repeat a story in their own words changes the story. Then, too, most people listen to improve on it, stamping (打上标记) it with their own personal style. Yet those who hear it think they know.This process is also found among scholars and authors: A statement of opinion by one writer may be re-stated as fact by another, who may in turn be quoted by yet another; and this process may continue, unless it occurs to someone to question the facts on which the original writer based his opinion or to challenge the interpretation he placed upon those facts.28. According to the passage, what situation may passive learning occur in?A. Doing a medical experimentB. Solving a math problemC. Doing scientific reasoningD. Visiting an exhibition29. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refers to?A. KnowledgeB. Passive learning C. Communication D. Active learning30. Why does the author mentions the game Rumor?A. To show that people tend not to believe in what they know as rumor.B. To show that a message should be delivered in different ways.C. To show that people may have problems with their sense of hearing.D. To show that a message may be changed when being passed on.31. What can we infer from the passage?A. Active learning is less important.B. Active learning occurs more frequently.C. Passive learning may not be reliable.D. Passive learning is not found among scholars.DSkyscrapers (摩天大楼) are the symbol of urban life. City people are used to seeing tall buildings and apartments. Farms, on the other hand, are associated with country life. However, there are experts who think skyscrapers should become farms to meet the increasing food needs.By the middle of this century, some scientists suggest, almost 80% of the earths population could live in cities. In addition, the population could increase to 9.1 billion people during that time yet the amount of land available for farming will be the same. If current farming practices dont change, we will need an area of new land to produce enough food for the planet.Vertical ( 垂直的) farms, where urban farmers could grow crops in environmentally friendly skyscrapers, could be the solution. In spite of concerns over high costs, experts want to make it a reality and use these skyscrapers to grow crops.Vertical farms would have many advantages, supporters say. Unlike traditional farming, vertical farming could be free of chemicals and diseases. Besides, crops would not suffer from problems like flooding. Finally, vertical farms would reduce the cost and negative effects of transporting food over long distances.Some argue that although crops growing in a tall glass building would get natural sunlight during the day, it wouldnt be enough. For this reason, vertical farms would need additional light sources, such as artificial light.Another way of growing fresh food is to build urban farms on rooftops. This more practical approach may be more achievable than the idea of farms in skyscrapers, researchers suggest. Experts agree that new farming practices are needed to support the need for more food at affordable costs, both to the farmer and to the consumer (消费者), but the best ideas could be yet to come.32. What primary problem could vertical farming settle?A. Poor state of rural life.B. High cost for transporting crops.C. Not enough of food supply.D. Environmental pollution by changed farming33. What is the advantage of vertical farming?A. It can produce organic food.B. It requires little care.C. It can benefit transport industry.D. It needs very low cost.34. What is a big challenge to make vertical farming a reality?A. Climate conditions.B. Crop diseases.C. Farmable land.D. Light sources.35. What can be the best title of the test?A. Future Food Needs.B. Farms in the Future.C. Farming on Rooftops.D. Symbol of Urban Life.第二节 七选五（共 5 小题，每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）Eyesight plays a very important role in our daily life.
