you consider this question as you sink into an old wooden beach chair that holds you above the sand. it was a long journey from bangkok to huaplee. by the time you found the bus station and got yourself sorted out, it took almost as long as the flight from falongland. huaplee is located just south of hua hin, about two hundred kilometres from bangkok, down the west side of the gulf of thailand. not many tourists find this place，and the ones that do wonder if finding it has been their purpose all along. theres an apparent laziness that surrounds you here. its what this place offers, and it，s free of charge. the small waves that tap the shoreline seem to slow everything down. you settle into your beach chair in preparation for a long rest. you sit there and watch the sea. its early afternoon, so the cook comes out and asks what youd like to eat this evening. before long hes rushed off to the market to buy the ingredients for whatever it was that you ordered-every meal fresh and to order. no menu here. there is no poolside noise here but just that wonderfully warm, clear blue sea. there9 s no street noise. the only sounds are the murmurs of nature. for now you just count your blessings (福祉)，listing them in the sand with your toe (脚趾) you dont have to worry about being late for work. you dont have to do anything. the beach to your right stretches off to the horizon (地平线)，slowly narrowing to nothingness only to re-emerge again on your left, now steadily widening until it covers the chair beneath you. sand to your left and sand to your right; its unbroken, endless. no start, no end, just sand, sun, and peace. step off it, and you re-enter the world of traffic, stress, work，and hurry. normally you，re the type who can，t sit still for more than ten minutes, but youre on huaplee lazy beach now and, in the right frame of mind, it stretches all the way around theworld. “how could it take me so long to find it?” you wonder. 17.when the author first went to huaplee beach,_ a.he found it unworthwhile b.he failed to sort himself out c.he became sensitive to smell d.he had difficulty in finding it 18.what is special about the food service at huaplee beach? a.no menu. b.free food. c.self service. d.quick delivery. 19.in the authors opinion, a tourist can enjoy huaplee beach most when he_. a.sits in a beach chair b.forgets his daily routine c.plans a detailed schedule d.draws pictures in the sand 20.what does the author imply by his question at the end of the passage? a.he shouldnt have counted his blessings. b.he should have understood the wonder of nature. c.he shouldnt have spent so much time on the trip. d.he should have come to the place earlier.bbissel is a small village of the west sahara. it lies next to a l.5-square-kilometer oasis（绿洲）, from where three days and nights are generally required to go out of the desert. however, before ken levin discovered it in 1926, none of the bissel villagers had ever walked out of the desert. reportedly, they were not unwilling to leave this barren land. many had previously tried but failed, always somehow finding themselves back at the oasis after several days of trying to walk out. when interviewed by ken levin, an expert at the british royal college of sciences, the villagers explained that no matter which direction they walked it always brought them back to the village. why couldnt the bissel villagers walk out of the desert? levin was very puzzled. he had, by himself, managed to walk north from the village and reach the nearest town in three and a half days. he decided to carry out an experiment to solve the mystery. he and a bissel villager called argutel, would walk out of the desert together. they prepared enough water for a half-a-month journey and two camels. but this time ken levin didnt bring his compass. levin would follow argutel. ten days later, they had walked for about 500 miles but were still in the desert. on the 11th morning, an oasis came into their view. they were back at bissel. levin now understood why the bissel people couldnt escape the desert. they had no knowledge of the north star, which had for centuries provided sailors and other travelers with a point of direction. in the desert, if a person goes forward relying only on their senses, they will not be able to travel in a straight line. rather they will travel in a very large circle and eventually track back to where they began. levin explained to argutel the function of the north star and said, “as long as you rest in the daytime and walk towards the brightest star at night, you would be able to walk out of the desert.” argutel did as he was told. three days later, he came to the edge of the desert. now in the west sahara, bissel has become a bright pearl, where tens of thousands of tourists come every year. argutels bronze statue stands in the center of the town. on its base are the words: _. 21.ken levin asked argutel to walk to the north in order to _. a.prove that people could walk out of the desert see b.how far away bissel was to the edge of the desert c.tell people not to walk in circles d.show argutel was a great person 22.according to the passage, ken levin _. a.knew argutel before he came to the village b.came to bissel to do experiments on behalf of his college c.became the first man to walk out of the desert from bissel village d.taught bissel villagers knowledge of the north star when he first arrived 23.it can be inferred from the passage that _. a.ken levin didnt walk south because it would take more days b.the use of a compass was necessary to walk out of the desert c.tourism in bissel has been greatly developed and improved d.argutel became the leader of bissel after his return 24.which of the following can most probably be found at the base of argutels statue? a.a new life starts from the fixed direction. b.where there is a will, there is a way. c.a long journey starts with the first step. d.two heads are better than one.c food can be divided into two basic categories：real food and pleasure food.real food is fuel for the bodys needs，while pleasure food，which is high in fat and sugar，is primarily for taste satisfaction.the categories are pretty obvious.broccoli is real food. cookies are in the pleasure group. when you are hungry，you are faced with choices.if you arent suffering from excessive hunger，you can be rational about them.go to the refrigerator.what looks good？if you have chosen a real food，say，a turkey sandwich，you can be certain your body can use it for fuel.eat it and enjoy. two hours later you are hungry again.back to the refrigerator.what looks good？ice cream.stop！employ your will power just a little.ice cream is not what your body needs.does something else look good？yes，a piece of toast with peanut butter and a glass of milk sound good too.okay，go ahead，remembering that highfat real foods should be eaten in moderation. one trick is to eliminate pleasure foods from your kitchen.instead，keep a variety of highquality foods available at all times.in short，buy lots of delicious real food，food you really like，and get rid of the junk. but what if you have ice cream on hand and nothing sounds good？although you dont want to eat pleasure foods whenever the urge strikes，there is a legitimate place for them in your diet.if you have analyzed your feelings and there are no other needs imitating hunger，eat the ice cream.you have not failed.on the contrary，you have accepted your natural appetite，but not blindly. surprisingly，when you know you can eat anything you want，and that you never have to put up with unsatisfied hunger again，it takes a lot of pressure off.you will begin to want to eat what your body needs，and your body will begin to need foods that will lead to slimness. 25.which of the following statements is not true? a.the author is against getting rid of pleasure food altogether. b.one can eat the highfat real foods heartily since it is fuel for the body. c.make sure to keep pleasure food such as ice cream in your diet. d.of course you can sometimes have ice cream if you really want to. 26.what would be the best title for this passage? a.real food and pleasure food b.reducing weight c.limit your consumption of pleasure food d.how to choose food when you are hungry 27.what can you assume from the last paragraph? a.being able to eat anything doesnt necessarily imply fatness. b.real foods may lead to slimness. c.eat only what your body needs. d.be sure to satisfy your hunger whenever it strikes you. 28.what can broccoli be except_？ a.ice cream b.cauliflower c.a turkey sandwich d.a piece of toast 第二节（共5个小题；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。have you ever heard of homecoming？its a tradition celebrated every year in the usat homecoming，a school or university welcomes back former students or alumni（校友）（29） _ it means，coming home this is a time when everyone can get together（30） _ there are events that encourage school spirit all throughout homecoming week，which leads to the big day on friday a major activity that most students will take part in is choosing the homecoming king and queen（31） _ this is a group of boys and girls who represent （代表） school spiritat the end of the week，students vote for a boy and a girl to be the king and the queen then its time for the football game，the main event of homecoming week!（32） _ almost everyone from school goes to the game：students，parents，teachers，and alumni visitorsif they win，everyone is very happy（33） _ students dress up，and some might even bring a date to go with themafter the dance，homecoming is officially over，and everyone cant wait for next year! athe last event is the homecoming dance bthat is where the name comes from chomecoming usually lasts a week and happens in the fall dthe football team faces a lot of pressure to do well for the big crowd ethe tradition began more than 100 years ago in the united states fstudents get to pick who will be on homecoming court early in the week ghomecoming week was not just about fun，but also a chance to try out new things第三部分：语言运用（共两节，满分30分）第一节：完形填空（共20个小题；每小题1分，满分20分）阅读下面的短文，从短文后所给的a、b、c、d四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。since the popularity of smartphones, people spend lots of time on their phones, either messaging other people, (34)news, or playing games.
