并在答题卡上将该项涂黑 A As I sit at home thinking about my upcoming adventure and the things I need to bring it makes me even more excited to begin my travel I will be making my way around the world The first places on the list are Andalusia and Africa in the book The Alchemist I will need to pack a lot of things and make sure I have enough money to provide myself with food and enough to drink The Sahara desert is always hot and requires plenty of water Next I will head to Mexico in the book Born to Run where I will meet the Tarahumara Indian tribe 部落 I will need to get into shape and do some jogging 慢跑 if I want to keep up with them I will have to pack my running shoes though because the Tarahumarans have mastered the art of running on the tough land After Mexico my journey takes me to the Egyptian desert in the novel The Paris Vendetta There I hope to help uncover an ancient conspiracy 阴谋 that goes back centuries Just like my trip to Andalusia I will have to make sure I have plenty of water Packing the Camelbak products seems like the best idea so I will have enough on hand at all times I expect this adventure to be quite interesting and I am very excited about it Lastly I will make my way back to America in the book Shattered Struck Down But Not Destroyed This makes me feel excited because like the main character in the book I also wanted to become a professional athlete when I was younger For this trip I will go with an open mind and hopefully meet some friends along the way I am ready to embark on my adventure of traveling and I cannot wait any longer 51 How will the author go on adventure A By carrying a lot of equipment B By reading novels C By daydreaming D By marking out routes 52 According to the passage the Tarahumaras A come from India B are good at running C need running shoes D own amounts of land 53 The Camelbak products are probably made to A help people find out the truth B supply people with water C protect people from the sun D show people the right direction 54 The underlined words embark on in the last paragraph probably mean 6 A start B prepare C appreciate D record B Television will turn 86 years old on September 7 2013 and it has never looked better In its youth television was a piece of furniture with a tiny round screen showing unclear pictures of low budget programs In spite of its shortcomings it became well received Between 1950 and 1963 the number of American families with a television jumped from 9 to 92 of the population As the audience got larger the technology got better Television sets became more reliable through the 1960s Both of the reception and the picture improved The major networks started broadcasting programs in color Even greater improvements were coming according to Sanford Brown who wrote an article for the Post in 1967 Surprisingly just about every prediction he made in the article became a reality For example All sets in the not distant future will be color instruments He also predicted that TV sets would become smaller simpler more reliable and less expensive and may forever put the TV repairman out of work Smaller sets do not of course mean smaller screens TV engineers expect screens to get much bigger However today s 3 D TV is even farther away if it s coming at all There is some doubt whether the public would be eager to pay for it in view of people s cold reception given to 3 D movies But the technology with the greatest potential according to Brown was cable television 有线电视 which was still in its early stages then As he predicted the future of cable television was highly interactive It wasn t cable television that gave Americans their electronic connection to the world however It was the Internet He even foresaw the future office using picture phones big screen televisions for conferences and computers providing information at the touch of a button Brown ever said The future of television is no longer a question of what we can invent It s a question of what we want 55 What can we infer about television sets in the 1960s A They were very popular with Americans B Their appearance remained unchangeable C They showed black and white pictures D Their pictures were of poor quality 56 Which of the followings did Sanford Brown fail to predict A Television s good quality B The invention of 3 D TV C The more functions of TV D The potential of cable TV 57 From the passage we know A TV will certainly take the place of computers B There won t be further improvement on TV C TV repairmen will be out of work in the future 7 D 3 D movies don t appeal to people very much 58 What is the text mainly about A The shortcomings of television B The advantages of television C The development of television D The invention of television C When I first saw the book Alice in Lace I thought I was going to like it And as it turned out I love it I love books about life and being a kid And Alice in Lace is just that kind It s a humorous book about being thirteen and the problems kids might face Alice and her friends get a strange assignment from their totally cool teacher Mr Everett It was like playing the game of Life but you had to act it out So Pamela is pregnant Elizabeth buys a car and Alice gets married Well of course Pamela wasn t really pregnant but she walked around with a pillow under her shirt to get people s reactions Elizabeth didn t really buy a car but she went to the car lot and made the sales guy think she was The whole class got assignments like these I would love to do something like that for school In the book Alice has a lot to think about Getting married is hard Alice says She has to plan the ceremony the honeymoon find a place to live pay for furniture and two months rent and food Maybe she and her husband could work it out if they were getting on fine Although this book was funny it really made me think about how problems like these could really mess up your life Take teenage pregnancy for example How could you have a baby and stay in school You couldn t find a babysitter every day to stay with your kid A child really consumes your life I understand what the teacher was trying to do He was trying to discourage the class from getting into these problems by giving them a glimpse of life As someone about to become a teenager myself I can say sometimes a story makes you think about what s up ahead Overall I would say this book is wonderful My favorite part of the book is discovering that if I like it there are seven other Alice books I can check out at my local library I love this book and I hope you will too 59 We can infer from the passage that Pamela Elizabeth and Alice A turn out to be the author s classmates B are characters in Alice in Lace C get along quite well D become dismissed from school 60 By saying getting married is hard in the paragraph 3 Alice means A life isn t easy as expected B it is hard to deal with her husband 8 C she regrets getting married D it s fun to get married 61 Why did Mr Everett give his students such assignments A To encourage them to enjoy a meaningful life B To prevent them getting into those troubles at an early age C To make them realize the hardship of life D To teach them how to make a living 62 The author writes the passage mainly to A advise us to buy Alice in Lace B tell us how wonderful Mr Everett s idea is C share her inspiration from Alice in Lace D show off her reading ability D Whenever my dog Barney comes into the house after having been for a ride in the car he runs to the pen 围栏 we have set up for him by the back door It s not something we intentionally trained him to do The habit came simply because my husband tended to put him in his pen whenever they came in After doing it a few times Barney just figures that s what you do when you come inside after a car ride It s the same with your thinking You get into the habit of thinking a certain way and then you ll rarely question it after that This is especially true when you were growing up You developed habits that just made things easier for you You probably didn t even think about them That s just the way it was and that s what you did Just like Barney thinks he has to go into his pen you do things automatically as well For example when you were a kid you may have been told not to talk back and to just keep quiet about things that were bothering you These are habits that might have worked to keep you safe and out of trouble when you were young Now that you re grown up you may be finding that these previous strategies are actually causing you problems In a relationship not communicating isn t going to work as your partner can t read your mind What works when you re a child may not work when you become an adult When you decide you need to change your thoughts your brain may at first feel that it s not a safe thing to do Lots of practice and years of experience says it s not Also you don t know to question the thought It s a truth for you The trick is to look at your results and see if your thoughts are the cause Be willing to question your thinking and ask yourself if there are thoughts that are hindering 妨碍 you As you are now in a different phase of your life different strategies may be needed 63 As with the dog Barney people 9 A think in a habitual way B enjoy having a car ride C usually behave in a friendly way D have a good memory 64 According to the passage as a kid one tends to A be afraid to make mistakes B have the experience of playing with a dog C learn much from adults like his her parents D form a habit which can keep his her out of trouble 65 In the writer s opinion adults should A not talk back B avoid causing any problem C change the habit which will bring troubles D value their habits formed in their childhood 66 It can be concluded from the passage that A the author s husband must be good at training dogs B childhood is the best time for developing good habits C one can change his her life by changing his her thoughts D you should change all your childhood habits when you grow up E Slow City a recently launched project focused on preserving the traditional quality of life enjoyed in some of Italy s smaller cities and towns The project was born from the idea of the Slow Food movement started in Italy in the 1980s which promotes leisurely eating and the growing of local healthy products to fight against the American fast food style The American urban model has invaded our cities making Italian towns look the same We want to stop this kind of globalization says Paolo
