Why? Because theres nothing quite like the vast African wilderness.Our jeep moved slowly along the too-hot-to-touch sandWith no air conditioner and an engine which might break down at any time， it was tough workThe dry heat was fierce and the only break came from using our precious water for brief bucket showersWith no supplies available within the parkit was a sort of no mans land which was inhabited by the occasional cow it is necessary to bring all your fuel， food and water with youWe camped in a small place in the center of the woods At the height of the dry season， leaves in the trees had all fallen down， shade was in scant supply， so we placed ourselves near a leaf less tree As the sun set， we drove towards the watering hole a few miles away， and were reminded just why wed chosen to spend weeks suffering this exercise on ourselves A lone lion paused his lapping to acknowledge（致意） our arrival He yawned， and then carried on drinkingThat night， sleeping on the roof of the jeep， we felt his shouting as much as heard it Those vast African skies offered the only indication that the outside world hadnt come to a state of quietness，as bright satellite whipped across the blacknessIn the morning we saw that the lion had walked in the road overnight，his paw prints pressed into yesterdays tyre tracksWe set off for another morning inching through the sand; another day of changing landscapes and raw，wild beauty; another night lit by shooting stars24.

Travelling in the Southern AfricaC. My Great Escape into the WildD. Camping in Too-Hot-to-Touch SandCGrowing up, I was an extremely reserved(腼腆的) boy. I didnt have many friends in primary and middle school and rarely opened up to anyone. I didnt even ask my teacher questions in class. I was scared of the world and the people around.As a child, I was scared to do anything without my parents mainly because I was afraid that I would do it badly. I was getting good grades and was well-behaved, but I wasnt happy. It was my belief that I was, for some reason, unable to do the things the others kids could do. I felt inadequate.While in my second semester of college, I ran into some information on the Internet about something called social anxiety. I didnt really know much of the disorder. Thus I began to read about some of the symptoms(症状) and realized that social anxiety was the thing that hurt me so much.It is common knowledge that people with social anxiety experience nervousness in social situations. What a lot of people dont know is that one of the main causes of social anxiety is negative thinking. People having a negative idea of themselves often think that they are ugly or stupid.I realized what I was truly afraid of: not being good enough. I was afraid that people would look at me and would not like what they saw; I was scared of rejection（拒绝）. To help deal with these problems, I began to practice meditation(沉思) and other mindfulness exercises. My mind slowly began to change.I realized that everyone, from star athletes to noble prize winners, experiences fear in their lives. Whether people are afraid of heights, planes, spiders, or talking to girls, we all experience anxiety and fear. There is no reason for anyone to feel excluded(排除在外的) because something scares them. People with anxiety disorders might have problems, but there is nothing wrong with them as people. They are just as humans as everyone else.28. What do we know about the author from the first two paragraphs?A. He was poor at his subjects. B. He grew up in an awful environment.C. He was shy and lacked confidence. D.

They desire to get more with less effort.C. They talk a lot about themselves in public.D. They often believe that others are better than them.30. How did the author recover from his social anxiety?A. He did a lot of exercise.B. He adjusted his way of thinking.C. He sought help from his professors.D. He surrounded himself with something positive.31. What is the writer s attitude towards people with anxiety?A. He believes that they should overcome it together.B. He argues that people treat them equally.C. He insists that they be given some help.D. He thinks people should sympathize（同情）with them.DA man in London has become the second known HIV-positive adult to be cleared of the virus that causes the disease AIDS. The man received a stem cell transplant（干细胞移植） three years ago. He was treated with anti-retroviral (抗逆转录病毒) drugs until about 18 months ago. Now, tests show he has no sign of the HIV virus in his blood.“There is no virus there that we can measure. We cant detect(检测) anything,” said Ravindra Gupta, a professor and HIV scientist who played a leading role in treating the man. The patients name, nationality or age is not public. He is called “the London patient” because he was treated in the British capital. A similar identification was given to the first known person cleared of HIV infection over ten years ago, the “Berlin patient”. Both men experienced a similar treatment.But there was something unusual about the person who gave the London patient stem cells. The giver or donor had a natural resistance(抵抗力) to HIV. In other words, something about this persons body made it impossible for him or her to become infected（感染）with the HIV virus. As a result, when the London patient received the stem cells, his immune（免疫） system changed and he developed a natural resistance to HIV, too.Ravindra Gupta notes that the donors unusual resistance to HIV may not be the only reason the treatment cleared the London patients infection. He notes that the Berlin patient and the London patient had similar side effects after the treatment. In both cases, the donors stem cells immediately began to attack the patients immune cells. This interaction may have helped destroy some of the HIV infection in the patients, Gupta says.Experts who study AIDS say the success of the Berlin patient and the London patient is very important. Their experiences show that scientists will one day be able to end AIDS. But they also warn that a cure has not been found. The blood treatments the Berlin and London patients had have failed in other patients. The treatments are also too dangerous, expensive and risky to do for the large number of people who already have the virus that causes AIDS.32. From the example of the two patients, we can learn that HIV virus _.A. shows no sign in people blood B. is bound to lead to the disease AIDSC. is mainly treated in the British capital D. can be cleared with a stem cell transplant33. What was special in the London patient case?A. His immune system totally broke down.B. No side effects appeared in his treatment.C. He would not be infected with HIV again.D. His treatment was the first case in the world.34. Whats the authors attitude towards the treatments?A. Negative. B. Cautious. C. Favorable. D. Indifferent.35. Where does this text probably come from?A. A science news report. B. A biology textbook.C. A medication guide. D. A science fiction.第二节 七选五（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人空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑选项中有两项为多余选项For most Americans， a clean glass of water is just a matter of taming on a faucet （水龙头）_36_.On Wednesday， the United Nations （UN） marked World Water Day by trying to cut the number of people without good drinking water one billion human beings worldwide in half In the next ten years， the UN will work with governments around the world to reduce the shortage_37_ In India，many people bathe and wash their clothes in rivers that are polluted by human waste_38_ “The links between water and human health are powerful，” said Dr. Lee Jong-wook director-general of the World Health Organization （WHO） “We cannot live without clean water”_39_ The agency provided clean water to nearly 500,000 people in Indonesia and Sri Lanka after the tsunami_40_ Since then， it is celebrated each year on March 22AWorld Water Day was first celebrated in 1993BAccording to the UN， not having enough clean water and sanitation （卫生）causes more than three million deaths a yearCWe are badly in need of clean waterDWithout clean water，many people use water which is harmful to their healthEBut for many of the worlds poorest，its hard to getFIn fact，the International Federation of the Red Cross said that quick reaction after last years Asian tsunami had stopped diseaseGWe provide clean water to the people in tsunami第三部分完型填空(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。The snow was falling and the roads had become dangerous.
