“motor” and “hotel” and it is really a hotel for people who arrive by car (how-ever, you dont need a car to stay at one). you have to pay when you arrive for your room, which usually has a bath. meals are not provided, but there will certainly be a cafeteria (自助餐馆). americans eat a lot of salads and sandwiches. along the main roads there are a lot of motels. each tries to offer more than next. some provide television in every bedroom; others have swimming pools; and so on. motels are especially useful when you are in the country, far from a town or city. you will also find them in the big national parks. in these great national parks, you may meet guests you dont expect to see. an american friend told me a little story. in the middle of a moonless night she heard strange noises outside her motel window in the yellowstone national park in wyoming. thinking it might be a thief, she jumped out of bed, opened the door and crept towards a dark shadow. as she got close, she saw the thief. she was dreadfully frightened: it wasnt a human thief it was a big black bear. the bear was turning over some empty tins with its paw, looking for tasty bits of food. my friend decided to leave that particular thief alone! there are also, of course, places called “rooming houses”, where they receive lodgers (房客). you will see such signs as tourists or rooms rent, and you could try one of these. a word of warning looking for a room in new york during the tourist season is like looking for gold on the moon!【小题1】which of the following is true about motels?a. you can only find motels in the big national parks.b. they are free for people who arrive by car.c. if you want to stay at a motel, you must have a car.d. the word “motel” is formed by two words.【小题2】 which of the following is not provided by motels?a. baths. b. swimming pools. c. tv. d. meals. 【小题3】 the underlined word “crept” in the second paragraph probably means “_”.a. moved slowly b. rushed out c. threw away d. ran fast 【小题4】 from the last paragraph we can learn that in new york during the tourist season _.a. tourists can find gold there b. tourists can have a sweet dream there c. it is difficult to find a room there d. there is warning for tourists to new york【小题4】c细节理解题。作者在文章最后一段提到a word of warning looking for a room in new york during the tourist season is like looking for gold on the moon!“在旅游旺季的纽约找个房间就像在月球上找金子一样”，由此可以推断在旅游旺季时在纽约找旅馆很难，所以c为正确选项。考点：考查社会生活类短文阅读。 b you want to have fun and adventure and so you decide to travel somewhere to do it. sounds like a simple enough thing. and basically it is. but what is adventure? that is the key here and the answer can be different for different people.for those who love sports, adventure travel can have a whole different meaning than for those who like history. the physical travel types that you can find include such adventure travel as white water rafting (白浪漂流), kayaking or climbing and hiking to some mountains somewhere. to the hiker, backpacking across ireland might be their adventure. for this type of person, adventure travel almost always includes something physical. often the goal is to push their bodys limits and test their individual endurance (耐力).for those who less want to climb mountains, adventure travel might mean traveling to nepal and taking in the local festivals. wine tasting in italy is also vacation adventure for the more relaxed traveler who enjoys peace and comfort. anything that is opposite to the normal scope (范围) of the travelers lifestyle defines (定义) adventure.adventure travel is not necessarily a one-size-fits-all type of vacation. adventure depends on the persons physical limits, how much money the person has and what the person enjoys doing. going beyond the normal is adventurous for many. if your life is quite busy, then sitting on a beach in the moonlight with your family might be adventure for you. the point is not what you do but that you have a good time and that it is an adventure for you not for the person next to you.do not sit home this year when vacation time rolls around. go beyond your normal routine and try something new. if you usually spend your vacation sunbathing on a beach, try hiking, instead, through the mountains. look around you, think beyond your comfort zone and head out on an adventure vacation.【小题1】for a quiet traveler, he is most likely to choose _.a. backpacking across a country b. wine tasting in a barc. hiking to some mountains d. white water rafting【小题2】 to have an adventure travel, the most important is _.a. whether you enjoy yourself b. whether you try something dangerousc. where you go for the traveling d. what you do in the traveling【小题3】 from the passage, we can make a conclusion that _.a. adventure travel always includes something dangerousb. adventure travel will cost you a large sum of moneyc. anything that goes beyond the normal is adventure traveld. adventure travelers like to do things to the limits of their body【小题4】the best title for the passage may be “_”.a. tips on adventure travel b. who is interested in adventure travelc. what is adventure travel d. popular places for adventure travel

threat that faces many species is the widespread destruction of habitat. cutting down forests, farming, and development all result in loss of wildlife habitat. in areas where rare species live, habitat destruction can quickly force a species to extinction. by protecting habitat, entire communities of animals can be protected together naturally. parks and reserves are now all too often the only habitats that are left untouched by habitat destruction.2. reduce the threat of invasive (入侵的) species.the spread of non-native species has greatly reduced native populations around the world. invasive species compete with native species for resources (资源) and habitat. they can even prey on native species directly, forcing native species towards extinction.3. place decals (贴花纸) on windows.it is reported that as many as one billion birds in the united states die each year because of collisions (碰撞) with windows. you can help reduce the number of collisions simply by placing decals on the windows in your home and office.4. slow down when driving.many native animals have to live in developed areas and this means they must move in human-living areas. one of the biggest obstacles (障碍) to them is that created by roads. roads divide habitat and present a constant risk to any animal attempting to cross from one side to the other. so when youre out and about, slow down and keep an eye out for wildlife.【小题1】 what would be the best title for this passage?a. how animals go to extinction b. the importance of protecting wildlifec. what to do to help save wildlife d. how to protect wildlife habitat【小题2】by writing the underlined sentence, the writer means that _.a. more parks and reserves should be builtb. we should have more habitats free of destructionc. there is a need for improvement in parks and re-servesd. parks and reserves are good examples of protecting wildlife【小题3】people are advised to put decals on windows to _.a. decorate the houses and beautify the environmentb. protect the windows from birds hittingc. attract more birds to make homes nearbyd. avoid birds hitting the windows by mistake【小题4】the underlined phrase “prey on” in the passage means _.a. drive away b. live with c. kill for food d. fight with dlooking back on my childhood, i believe that naturalists are born and not made. although we were all brought up in the same way, my brothers and my sisters soon gave up their flowers and insects. unlike them, i had no ear for music and languages. i was not an early reader and i could not do mental arithmetic (算术).before world war i we spent our summer holidays in hungary. i have only the dim(暗淡的) memory of the house we lived in, of my room and my toys. nor do i recall clearly the large family of grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins who gathered next door. but i do have a crystal(水晶)clear memory of the dogs, farm animals, local birds, and above all, insects.i am a naturalist, nor a scientist. i have a strong love for the natural world and my enthusiasm (热情) has led me into varied investigations (调查). i love discussing my favorite topics and enjoy burning the midnight oil reading about other peoples observations and discoveries. then something brings these observations together in my mind. this has resulted in my publishing 300 papers and books.but curiosity(好奇心), a keen (敏锐的)eye, a good memory and enjoyment of the animal and plant world do not make a scientist. a scientist, up to a point, can be made. a naturalist is born. if you can combine the two, you get the best of both worlds.【小题1】the first paragraph tells us the writer .a. was interested in flowers and insects in his childhoodb. lost his hearing when he was a childc. didnt like his brothers and sistersd. was born into a naturalists family【小题2】the writer cant clearly remember his relatives probably because .a. he didnt live very long with them b. the family was very largec. he was too young when he lived with themd. he devoted himself to observing nature【小题3】 it can be inferred from the passage that the writer was .a. a scientist as well as a naturalist b. not a naturalist but a scientistc. only a born naturalist d. first of all a scientist【答案】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。 bargain shopping is popular throughout the globe. the main reason is because people know that they get the opportunity to
