From the grassy point looking seaward to the mountains, its not hard for campers to see how the island inspired The Lord of the Rings authors fantasy landscapes. The campsite itself is as wild and wonderful as its setting.Open April - September, from 5 per tent per night.Swattesfield, Thornham Magna, SuffolkDeep in the wilds of north Suffolk, this seven-acre campsite has only been open for a few years, with two fields separated by a lake and surrounded by woodland. The position is perfect. Its a great place to do nothing but get into nature. You can put up your tent in the bottom field or the woodland beyond.Open Easter - October, from 10 per tent per night.Pleasant Streams Farm, near St Austell, CornwallThis site, by a lake, is all about simple pleasures. Located in the former mining village, it has a summerhouse (凉亭) with books and games for a rainy day. There are many animals including pigs, hens, goats and ducks on the farm and a pub just a 10-minute stroll away. Theres very little to do here, no bells and no whistles. Campfires are encouraged.Open Easter - September, from 10 per tent per night.Troytown Campsite, St Agnes, Isles of SciilyIts only campsite, Troytown, couldnt be in a more remote position. Isolation is its greatest advantage so bring plenty of books to read and dont expect a phone signal. But at least one of lifes necessities is available. Lying on the hillside overlooking the bay and near the island of the Gugh, it might just win the prize for best beer garden view in England.Open March - October, from 7. 50 per tent per night,51. Which of the following is TRUE about Cleadale, Isle of Eigg, Inner Hebrides? A. It has been open for a few years. B. A beautiful lake surrounds it. C. It offers the longest service. D.

A. contact others by phones B. view the bay from the hillside C. get everyday necessities D. relax yourself by readingBId like to share a little story with you about something that happened when I was four. I remember it clearly. Our loving family dog was nearing the end of his life. My father picked him up and put him in a little bed we had made for him. Our dog, my companion, whom we had cared for, bit my father when he attempted to help him. How could he? Why? I couldnt understand it. I didnt like him anymore.I hadnt thought about that story for a long time but something that happened last week brought it back to me. I went to speak with a friend. When I knocked on the door, I met in an instant an angry look and a few harsh (尖刻的) words. When the door was slammed (砰地关上)in my face, I stood there shocked, and in a rush, I was reminded of my dog bit my father 20 years ago or so. What brought that story back was that same feeling of betrayal (背叛).Both stories taught me something the next day. You see, when I got up in the morning and was told my dog had died, it became clear to me that he must have been in great pain. For him to have bitten a family member, he could not have been himself. Much the same for the other story when I learned that my friends wife had just left him.We are all beings of our environments, our opinions and feelings. And all of those things can cause you to say and do things that cant be understood by those who are not in the same situation with you.If you meet someone either behaving out of character or acting in a way that doesnt seem to fit the situation, put out your hand and be patient when you think it is least possible for him to do so. You may turn around a story that has a sad ending simply by your actions.54. What is the influence of the incident mentioned in Paragraph1?A. It hurt his fathers feeling deeply. B. It has puzzled the author ever since.C. It left a deep impression on the author. D. It made the author dislike dogs.55. What made the author think of the story of about 20 years ago?A. His friends attitude. B. The photo of the dog.C. His fathers wound. D. His friends suffering.56. Why did the authors friend say harsh words to the author?A. He was ill-tempered. B. He was suffering the pain of losing his wife.C. He was bothered by an unexpected visit.D. They once quarreled and he couldnt forgive the author.57. Whats the authors advice to us?A. Help those in need. B. Look before you leap.C. Respect for others is a kind of virtue (美德). D. Learn to put yourself in others shoes.CJames Cleveland Owens was the son of a farmer and the grandson of black slaves. His family moved to Cleveland when he was 9. There, a school teacher asked the youth his name.“J.C,” he replied.She thought he had said “Jesse”, and he had a new name.Owens ran his first race at age 13. After high school, he went to Ohio State University. He had to work part time so as to pay for his education. As a second year student, in the Big Ten games in 1935, he set even more records than he would in the Olympic Games a year later.A week before the Big Ten meet, Owens accidentally fell down a flight of stairs. His back hurt so much that he could not exercise all week, and he had to be helped in and out of the car that drove him to the meet. He refused to listen to the suggestions that he give up and said he would try. He did try, and the results are in the record book.The stage was set for Owens victory at the Olympic Games in Berlin the next year, and his success would come to be regarded as not only athletic but also political. Hitler did not congratulate any of the African American winners.“It was all right with me,” he said years later. “I didnt go to Berlin to shake hands with him, anyway.”Having returned from Berlin, he received no telephone calls from the president of his own country, either. In fact, he was not honored by the United States until 1976, four years before his death.Owens Olympic victories made little difference to him. He earned his living by looking after a school playground, and accepted money to race against cars, trucks, motorcycles and dogs.“Sure, it bothered me,” he said later. “But at least it was an honest living. I had to eat.”In time, however, his gold medals changed his life. “They have kept me alive over the years,” he once said. “Time has stood still for me. That golden moment dies hard.”58. Owens got his other name “Jesse” when_.A. he went to Ohio State UniversityB. his teacher made fun of himC. his teacher took “J.C” for “Jesse”D. he won gold medals in the Big Ten meet59. In the Big Ten meet, Owens_.A. hurt himself in the backB. succeeded in setting many recordsC. tried every sports event but failedD. had to give up some events60. We can infer from the text that Owens was treated unfairly in the US at that time because_.A. he was not of the right raceB. he was the son of a poor farmerC. he didnt shake hands with HitlerD. he didnt talk to the US president on the phone61. When Owens says “They have kept me alive over the years.”, he means that the medals_.A. have been changed for money to help him live onB. have made him famous in the USC. have encouraged him to overcome difficulties in lifeD. have kept him busy with all kinds of jobsDMandara seemed to know something big was about to happen. So she let out a yell, caught hold of her 2-year-old daughter Kibibi and climbed up into a tree. She lives at the National Zoo in Washington D. C. And on Tuesday, August 23rd, witnesses said she seemed to sense the big earthquake that shook much of the East Coast before any humans knew what was going on. And shes not the only one. In the moments before the quake, an orangutan（猩猩）let out a loud call and then climbed to the top of her shelter.“Its very different from their normal call,” said Brandie Smith, the zookeeper. “The lemurs (monkey like animals of Madagascar) will sound an alarm if they see or hear something highly unusual.”But you cant see or hear an earthquake 15 minutes before it happens, can you? Maybe you canif youre an animal. “Animals can hear above and below our range of hearing,” said Brandie Smith. “Thats part of their special abilities. Theyre more sensitive to the environment, which is how they survive.”Primates (灵长目动物) werent the only animals that seemed to sense the quake before it happened. One of the elephants made a warning sound. And a huge lizard（蜥蜴）ran quickly for cover. The flamingoes (a kind of birds) gathered before the quake and stayed together until the shaking stopped.So what kind of vibrations（震动）were the animals picking up in the moments before the quake? Scientist Susan Hough said earthquakes produce two types of wavesa weak “P” wave and then a much stronger “S” wave. The “P” stands for “primary”. And the “S” stands for “secondary” . She thinks the “P” wave might be what sets the animals off.Not all the animals behaved unusually before the quake. For example, Smith said the zoos giant pandas didnt jump up until the shaking actually began. But many of the other animals seemed to know something was coming before it happened. “Im not surprised at all,” Smith said.62. Why did Mandara act strangely one day?A. Because it sensed something unusual would happen.B. Because its daughter Kibibi was injured.C. Because it heard an orangutan let out a loud call.D. Because an earthquake had happened.63. According to Brandie Smith, _.A. many animals hearing is sharpB. earthquakes produce two types of wavesC. primates (灵长目动物) usually gather together before a quakeD. humans can also develop the ability to sense a quake64. Which animal seems unable to sense a quake?A. A giant panda. B. A flamingo. C. A lemur. D. A lizard.65. What is the best title for the passage?A. How animals survive a quakeB. How animals differ from humansC. How animals behave before a quakeD. How animals protect their young in a quake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。Maybe yo
