Five Australian backpackers boarded and struck up a conversation with me. They asked typical travelersquestions where was I going and why was I traveling alone? My plan was to travel with a friend of a friend, I explained, but when I called her that morning, she didnt pick up and I had no other way to reach her. My stomach was in knots, but I decided to head out anyway, thinking I might run into her if I traveled to Tiberius, where we had planned to go together.“Why dont you travel with us?”one of the backpackers offered. They were experienced adventurers who would work for a few months, save, then travel for as long as they could. Their current plan was to explore the Middle East and Europe in three months.It seemed risky to travel with perfect strangers, but my instinct said yes. For the next two weeks, I explored Israel with the backpackers and learned to trust my instincts in all types of new and interesting situations. When they hooked a ride, I took the bus, but when they wanted to steal into the King David Hotels swimming pool, I led the way. The world opened up to me because I chose to travel alone. I joined complete strangers, who became close friends. Years later, one couple from the backpacking group even flew from Sydney to Phoenix to be in my wedding. The trip was such a special experience that it gave me confidence in all areas of my life. Since then, Ive backpacked alone across South Africa, sky-dived from 12, 000 feet in New Zealand and even moved across the U.S. with no job lined up.On my third day wandering in Israel with my new friends, I ran into the woman I was supposed to meet. Though I was happy she was all right, I was grateful she hadnt picked up the phone.24. According to the first paragraph, the author was .A. nervous of meeting strangersB. anxious about the speedy busC. upset about the sudden changeD. worried about her stomachache25. Which of the following best describes the backpackers the author met?A. Homeless but lighthearted.B. Warmhearted and trustworthy. C. Jobless and poorly educated.D. Courageous but disrespectful.26. The authors sixth sense told her that .A. she would get along with the backpackersB. it was risky to travel with perfect strangersC. she ought to stay away from the backpackersD. it could add exciting experience to her travel27. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Some backpackers attended the authors wedding years later.B. The author gathered the courage to be a fulltime backpack traveler.C. The woman missed the phone call with the purpose of traveling alone.D. The author considered it the best decision of her life to travel on her own.C“Dont tell anyone”. We hear these words when someone tells a secret to us. But it can be hard to keep a secret. We often tend to“spill the beans”, even if we regret it later.According to Asim Shah, professor in the Menninger Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Baylor College of Medicine, US, keeping a secret may well“become a burden”. This is because people often have an“obsessive (强迫性的) and anxious urge to share it with someone”.An earlier study, led by Anita E. Kelly, a scientist at the University of Notre Dame, US, suggested that keeping a secret could cause stress. People entrusted with secrets can suffer from depression, anxiety, and body aches, reported the Daily Mail.But with secrets so often getting out, why do people share them at all? Shah explained that people often feel that it will help them keep a person as a friend. Another reason people share secrets is guilt over keeping it from someone close to them. A sense of distrust can develop whenpeople who are close do not share it with each other.“Keeping or sharing secrets often puts peoplein a position of either gaining or losing the trust of someone.”according to Shah.He added that talkative people could let secrets slip out. But this doesnt mean that it is a good idea only to share secrets with quiet people. A quiet person may be someone who keeps everything inside. To tell such a person a secret may cause them stress, and make them talk about the secret.Shah said that to judge whether to tell someone a secret, youd better put yourself in their position. Think about how you would feel to be told that you mustnt give the information away. Shah also recommended that if you accidentally give up someones secret you should come clean about it. Let the person know that their secret isnt so secret anymore.28. The underlined phrase“spill the bean”is closest in meaning to .A. keep a secretB. let out a secretC. suffer from stressD. talk about other peoples private lives29. According to Kelly, a person who is entrusted with a secret .A. should keep everything insideB. tends to lose the trust of someoneC. often has an anxious desire to share it with othersD. may have to put up with physical or psychological problems高三英语30.

Its better to inform others of the chances of your leaking secrets beforehand. D. Putting yourself in othersshoes helps realize the difficulty of keeping secrets.31. What is the authors attitude towards the phenomenon of sharing secrets?A. Supportive.B. Disapproving.C. Objective.D. Uncaring.DScientists, psychologists and English academics at Liverpool University have found that reading the works of the classical writers like Shakespeare and Wordsworth has a great effect on the mind, catches the readers attention and triggers moments of self-examination.Using a special machine, they monitored the brain activity of 30 volunteers as they read works by William Shakespeare, William Wordsworth, T.S. Eliot and others.In the first part of the research, the brain activity of 30 volunteers was monitored as they read passages from Shakespeares plays, including King Lear, Othello, Coriolanus and Macbeth, andagain as they read the text rewritten in a simpler form or modern language.While reading the common texts, normal levels of electrical activity were shown in their brains. When they read the works of Shakespeare, however, the levels of activity jumped because of his use of words which were unfamiliar to them. The result of the test showed that the more challenging passages cause a greater degree of electrical activity in the brain than the common ones.Scientists went on to study the brain activity as it responded to each word and recorded how it lit up as the readers came across unusual words, surprising phrases or difficult sentences in the classical works. As a result, this lightening up process of the mind lasted longer than that when volunteers read common texts, encouraging further reading.The research also found that reading poetry especially increases activity in the right hemisphere ( 半 球) of the brain, an area connected with“autobiographical memory”, driving thereaders to think carefully about their own experiences based on what they have read. The academics said this meant the classical works of literature are more useful than self-help books.Philip Davis, an English professor who has worked on the study in the universitys magneticresonance center, announced this week:“Classical literature acts like a rocket-booster to the brain, which provides extra power for the brain. You may never imagine how powerful it is. The research shows such kind of literature can create new thoughts and connections in the young and the old.”高三英语32. The underlined word“triggers”in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to“ ”.A. stopsB. keepsC. interruptsD. causes33. Which of the following is NOT true about reading classical literature?A. Its helpful for readers to come up with new ideas. B. Its an activity that is suitable for people of all ages.C. It makes readerselectrical activity of brain return to normal.D. It makes readersbrain more active than reading common texts.34. From the research, we can learn that .A. poetry increases left-brain activity more than other literary formsB. the readers prefer Shakespeares works to the other writersworksC. the words of classical works make it hard for volunteers to read furtherD. reading classical works produces a good and long-lasting effect on the mind35. What does the author mainly tell us in this passage?A. Classical works help the brain develop better. B. Poetry is useful for developing peoples brain. C. Common books are unpopular anymore.D. Shakespeares plays are worth reading.第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分,满分 10 分）Its easy to make a fitness decision on New Years Eve. 36 According to a recent study,60 percent of people give up on their decision by February. However, you can increase your chances of success with these stick-with-it strategies (策略).Start by asking yourself,“Why?”A fitness decision is rarely about fitness.
