Many are worried about travelling to Rio but I promise, it is worth a visit. Now I want to share my top recommendations (推荐) for experiencing Rio less as a tourist but more like a native Brazilian.Pedra BonitaRio is full of hiking routes, and some Brazilians love to spend an afternoon hiking. My favorite route of all has to be Pedra Bonita. Pedra Bonita involves a steep climb of about an hour through tall trees, and I admit it is difficult in Rios heat, but you are rewarded at the top with a wonderful view of the city, standing high above the green landscape and blue sea below.Mureta da UrcaOne thing you are sure to find in Rio is an amazing sunset, but a lot of the best spots tend to be full of tourists. In my opinion, Mureta da Urca is the most relaxing place to watch the sun set over the silver sea, with the figure of Christ the Redeemer standing tall in the background.Pedra do SalPedra do Sal is a historical area in the city centre and on Monday nights it is brought to life by the sound of samba. Hundreds of people gather in the street, food and drink stalls are set up and it becomes a giant street party with everyone enjoying the happy sound of live samba!PicanhaIf there were one Brazilian food I could bring back to the UK, it would be picanha. It is the tastiest cut of steak I have ever tasted, served alongside rice and beans.1. The writer once went to Rio de Janeiro to _.A. stay there as a tourist for six monthsB. study as a short-time international studentC. live as a native BrazilianD. learn how to be a native Brazilian2. Which of the following is probably the favorite of body-builders?A. Pedra Bonita.B. Mureta da Urca.C. Pedra do Sal.D. Picanha.3. What can you enjoy in Pedra do Sal?A. A wonderful view of the city.B.

People who work in offices are frequently referred to as “white-collar workers” for the simple reason that they usually wear a collar and tie to go to work. Such is human nature, that a great many people are often willing to sacrifice higher pay for the honor of becoming white-collar workers. This can lead to curious situations, as it did in the case of Alfred Bloggs who worked as a dustman for the Ellesmere Corporation.When he got married, Alf was too embarrassed to say anything to his wife about his job. He simply told her that he worked for the Corporation. Every morning, he left home dressed in a smart black suit. He then changed into overalls (工作服) and spent the next eight hours as a dustman. Before returning home at night, he took a shower and changed back into his suit. Alf did this for over two years and his fellow dustmen kept his secret. Alfs wife has never discovered that she married a dustman and she never will, for Alf has just found another job. He will soon be working in an office. He will be earning only half as much as he used to, but he feels that his rise in status (身份；地位) is well worth the loss of money. From now on, he will wear a suit all day and others will call him Mr. Bloggs, not Alf.4. What does the case of Alfred Bloggs show?A. That people often care more about the status of a job than the income.B. That “white-collar workers” usually wear a suit to go to work.C. That manual workers prefer to keep their jobs a secret.D.

He dressed himself as a dustman before leaving home every morning.C. He lied to his wife about his job.D. He earned twice as much as a white-collar worker.6. What does Alfred Bloggs think of his new job?A. He feels it is a pity because he now earns less than before.B. He thinks it is worthwhile for his rise in status.C. He is proud because he earns much more than before.D. He is satisfied because he no longer needs a shower before returning home.7. Whats the best title of the passage?A.

She only used the back brake, but the front brake makes you stop twice as fast,” says Micha Wallace, who, with Katie Bell, Anina Sakaguchi and Andrew Morries won second prize in the James Dyson Award for their single-handed bike brake lever.“Lauren Turner tried the device (装置) first and she used it all last summer. She had no problems. It helped her go faster because she felt more confident in her braking abilities. She felt safer.” says Wallace.The invention was the fourth-year design project for the four students. They designed, tested and created a prototype (模型) within a four-month period.When Wallace heard about the James Dyson Award on the news, she and her co-inventors entered their project in the U. K. -based contest, which rewards students designers who create products that improve the way we live. The students collected the runner-up prize 2,000 for them and 500 for their school.As well, they had a chance to meet James Dyson, a U.K. famous inventor. Praising the students for their invention, Dyson says the single-handed brake lever could improve safety for all cyclists. By using both brakes at once, you could prevent the possibility of flying over the handlebars and ending up with an injury.The students hope to sell it to a major company.

But just as all families are different, so are all pets. Learn what to consider before you find your new furry family member.All pets require their owners time, so Theisen, an expert in pet care, says how much time you can give to the pet is the top thing to consider. “If you adopt a 4-year-old cat, shes not going to need the same amount of care as a 9-week-old dog”. says Theisen.Like dating and finding the perfect partner, you want a pet that shares your interests and activity levels, particularly if youre looking for dogs. “Consider activity levels in the family,” says Theisen. “If youre a couch potato, or in other words, a homebody, look for a pet that matches that activity level.”Some dogs, like Dalmatians and Terriers, can be loud and noisy and demand a more active lifestyle and room to be outside; they might not fit as well in close living situations as more sedentary pets. The Humane Society of the United States encourages potential owners to research books and websites and talk to other pet owners when considering adopting a new pet.Theisen says that potential owners should go beyond the first impression of loveliness and watch how the animals interact with them. “There are dogs that will jump to the gate to meet you,” says Theisen. “And there are dogs that sit there with their sad doggy eyes you know theyre not going to be high-energy dogs”.Some exotic pets, like tortoises and parrots, are likely to live longer than dogs and cats and even their human owners. They can also grow to be much larger than they were when they first came to live with their owners. Owners should make sure that their living situations should be continually updated and also prepare for the animals future.12. What will people have to consider first of all when they plan to adopt a pet?A. The amount of time they can give to the pet.B. The money that the pet will cost them.C. Whether the pet is lovely or not.D. Whether the pet is active or not.13. The underlined word “sedentary” in the fourth paragraph probably means _.A. weak.B. noisy.C. loud.D. inactive.14. Being a couch potato and not fond of exotic pets, which should Julia choose?A. Dalmatians.B. Terriers.C. Parrots.D. Bulldogs.15. Where is the passage most probably coming from?A. A guidebook.B. A fashion magazine.C. A Life magazineD. An entertainment newspaper.【答案】12. A 13. D 14. D 15. C【解析】【分析】本文属于说明文，收养宠物是一件令人兴奋且有意义的事情，但是在收养宠物之前，有很多需要宠物主人考虑的方面，本文就此提供了一些建议。【12题详解】细节理解题。据第二段All pets require their owners time, so Theisen, an expert in pet care, says how much time you can give to the pet is the top thing to consider.可知，领养宠物的首要问题是时间，故选A。【13题详解】词义猜测题。据第三段Some dogs, like Dalmatians and Terriers, can be loud and noisy and demand a more active lifestyle and room to be outside; they might not fit as well in close living situations as more sedentary pets. 推理得知。有些狗声音很大很吵，更积极活跃，更喜欢出去，他们就不太可能在封闭的环境的养的很好，与那些好静的宠物相比，本句为原级比较，not asas，故可以推出sedentary为静止的，故选D。【14题详解】推理判断题。据第三段Some dogs, like Dalmatians and Terriers, can be loud and noisy and demand a more active lifestyle and room to be outside；得知Dalmatians and Terriers跟Julia的宅女性格不符；而Parrots属于exotic pets可排除，故选D。【15题详解】文章出处题。本文主要介绍领养宠物的注意事项，应选自于家庭生活方面的杂志，故选C。【点睛】词义猜测题做题技巧。关于词义猜测题做题技巧。词义猜测题是阅读理解中常见的一种题型，主要有对生词的词义猜测，熟词新义以及代词的猜测。其关键是根据上下文的逻辑关系，利用已掌握的信息，有必要的时候，借助生活或者文化常识，确定单词的词义。比如小题2，据第三段Some dogs, like Dalmatians and Terriers, can be loud and noisy and demand a more active lifestyle and room to be outside; they might not fit as well in close living situations as more sedentary pets. 推理得知。有些狗声音很大很吵，更积极活跃，更喜欢出去，他们就不太可能在封闭的环境的养的很好，与那些好静的宠物相比，本句为原级比较，not asas，故可以推出sedentary为静止的，故选D。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。Bank holidays!
