Scientists today are making greater effort to study ocean currents (洋流). Most do it using satellites and other high-tech equipment. However, ocean expert Curtis Ebbesmeyer does it in a special way —studying movements of random floating garbage (垃圾). A scientist with many years’ experience, he started this type of research in the early 1990s when he heard about hundreds of athletic shoes washing up on the shores of the northwest coast of the United States. There were so many shoes that people were setting up swap meets to try and match left and right shoes to sell or wear.
Ebbesmeyer found out in his researches that the shoes—about 60, 000 in total—fell into the ocean in a shipping accident. He phoned the shoe company and asked if they wanted the shoes back. As expected, the company told him that they didn’t. Ebbesmeyer realized this could be a great experiment. If he learned when and where the shoes went into the water and tracked where they landed, he could learn a lot about the patterns of ocean currents.
The Pacific Northwest is one of the world’s best areas for beachcombing (海滩搜寻) because winds and currents join here, and as a result, there is a group of serious beachcombers in the area. Ebbesmeyer got to know a lot of them and asked for their help in collecting information about where the shoes landed. In a year he collected reliable information on 1, 600 shoes. With this data, he and a colleague were able to test and improve a computer program designed to model ocean currents, and publish the findings of their study.
As the result of his work, Ebbesmeyer has become known as the scientist to call with questions about any unusual objects found floating in the ocean. He has even started an association of beachcombers and ocean experts, with 500 subscribers from West Africa to New Zealand. They have recorded all lost objects ranging from potatoes to golf gloves.
4. Ebbesmeyer phoned the shoe company to find out ________.
A. how much they lost in the shipping accident B. whether it was all right to use their shoes
C. when and where the shoes went missing D. what caused the shipping accident
5. How did Ebbesmeyer prove his assumption?
A. By searching the web for ocean currents models. B. By studying the shoes found by beachcomber.
C. By researching ocean currents data in the library. D. By collecting information from beachcombers.
6. What is the purpose of the author in writing this passage?
A. To give tips on how to search for lost objects on the beach.
B. To explain a unique way of studying ocean currents.
C. To call people’s attention to ocean pollution.
D. To warn people of shipping safety in the ocean.
C
Brrriiinnng. The alarm clock announces the start of another busy weekday in the morning. You jump out of bed, rush into the shower, into your clothes and out the door with hardly a moment to think. A stressful journey to work gets your blood pressure climbing. Once at the office, you glance through the newspaper with depressing stories or reports of disasters. In that sort of mood, who can get down to work, particularly some creative, original problem-solving work?
The way most of us spend our mornings is exactly opposite to the conditions that promote flexible, open-minded thinking. Imaginative ideas are most likely to come to us when we’re unfocused. If you are one of those energetic morning people, your most inventive time comes in the early evening when you are relaxed. Sleepy people’s lack of focus leads to an increase in creative problem solving. By not giving yourself time to tune into your wandering mind, you’re missing out on the surprising solutions it may offer.
The trip you take to work doesn’t help, either. The stress slows down the speed with which signals travel between neurons (神经细胞), making inspirations less likely to occur. And while we all should read a lot about what’s going on in the world, it would not make you feel good for sure, so put that news website or newspaper aside until after the day’s work is done.
So what would our mornings look like if we wanted to start them with a full capacity for creative problem solving? We’d set the alarm a few minutes early and lie awake in bed, following our thoughts where they lead. We’d stand a little longer under the warm water of the shower, stopping thinking about tasks in favor of a few more minutes of relaxation. We’d take some deep breaths on our way to work, instead of complaining about heavy traffic. And once in the office—after we get a cup of coffee—we’d click on links not to the news of the day but to the funniest videos the web has to offer.
7. According to the author, we are more creative when we are ________.
A. busy B. awake C. focused D. relaxed
8. By “tune into your wandering mind” in Paragraph 2, the author means “________”.
A. switch to the traffic channel B. stop concentrating on anything
C. listen to a beautiful tune D. wander into the wild
9. The author writes the last paragraph in order to ________.
A. advocate diverse ways of life B. establish a routine for the future
C. offer practical suggestions D. summarize past experiences

第三部分：书面表达(共两节，32分)
第一节(共4小题;第45、46小题各2分，第47小题3分，第48小题5分，共12分)
阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。
There are many places to go on safari (观赏野生动物) in Africa, but riding a horse through the flooded waters of Botswana’s Okavango Delta must rank as one of the world’s most exciting wildlife journeys.
Several safari camps operate as the base for this adventure, providing unique rides twice a day to explore deep into the delta. The camps have excellent horses, professional guides and lots of support workers. They have a reputation (名声) for providing a great riding experience.
The morning ride, when the guides take you to beautiful, shallow lakes full of water lilies, tends to be more active. It is unlike any other riding experience. With rainbows forming in the splashing water around you and the sound of huge drops of water bouncing off your body and face, it is truly exciting. You are very likely to come across large wild animals, too. On horseback it is possible to get quite close to elephants, giraffes and many other animals. The sense of excitement and tension levels rise suddenly though, as does your heart rate, as you move closer to them.
In the evening, rides are usually at a more relaxed and unhurried pace. With golden light streaming across the grassy delta and the animals coming out to eat and drink. Sedate though they are, rides at this time of day are still very impressive. As the sun’s rays pass through the dust kicked up by the horses, the romance of Africa comes to life.
Back at the camp you can kick off your boots and enjoy excellent food and wine. Looking back on your day, you will find it hard to deny that a horseback safari is as close as you will ever come to answering the call of the wild.
45. What does the underlined word “They” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
________________
46. How does a tourist feel when he or she moves closer to the wild animals on horseback?
________________
47. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
The passage tells us about the riding experience in the Okavango Delta and the author introduces it mainly by following space order.
________________
48. Please introduce the most exciting trip you’ve ever taken. (In about 40 words)

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了非洲观赏野生动物的野营的项目。
【45题详解】
考查词义猜测。根据第二段“Several safari camps operate as the base for this adventure, providing unique rides twice a day to explore deep into the delta. The camps have excellent horses, professional guides and lots of support workers.( 几个狩猎营地作为这次冒险的基地，每天提供两次独特的游乐设施，深入三角洲进行探索。营地有优秀的马匹，专业的导游和许多辅助人员。)”由此可猜测出they指代上文提到的几个狩猎营地，故答案为Several safari camps.
【46题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第三段“On horseback it is possible to get quite close to elephants, giraffes and many other animals. The sense of excitement and tension levels rise suddenly though, as does your heart rate, as you move closer to them. (骑在马背上，人们有可能非常接近大象、长颈鹿和许多其他动物。然而，当你靠近它们时，兴奋感和紧张程度会突然上升，你的心率也会上升。)”可知，当一个游客骑在马背上接近野生动物时，他/她会兴奋，紧张和心率加快。故答案为He/ She may feel excited, nervous and his/her heart rate may be accelerated.
【47题详解】
考查推理判断。根据第一段“There are many places to go on safari (观赏野生动物) in Africa, but riding a horse through the flooded waters of Botswana’s Okavango Delta must rank as one of the world’s most exciting wildlife journeys. (非洲有很多地方可以去狩猎旅行，但在博茨瓦纳的Okavango Delta的洪水中骑马一定是世界上最令人兴奋的野生动物之旅之一。)”可知前半句是正确的；再根据作者在第三段中先说了早上的旅程，第四段涉及晚上的旅程，尾段谈到回到营地，由此可知作者是按时间顺序写的，所以后半句是错误的，故答案为The passage tells us about the riding experience in the Okavango Delta and the author introduces it mainly by following space order. According to the passage, the passage tells us about the riding experience in the Okavango Delta and the author introduces it mainly by following time order.

49. 【答案】Dear Jim,
I’m more than delighted to know you are curious about the club activities of our school and want to know something about them. Here I’d like to share some details with you.
There are altogether 20 or so clubs in our school, to name a few, Peking opera club, Swimming club, Calligraphy club, and Painting club. They all have a fixed time to arrange varied activities. As for me, I’d like to join Peking opera club. First, Peking opera is like a pearl in Chinese traditional art. Joining this club can give me a taste of Chinese traditional art forms and even have a hands-on experience. Besides, the club will regularly organize various activities, such as inviting famous actors to perform, and drawing Peking opera make-ups.
