Ⅰ.阅读理解

主题语境:人与社会　语篇类型:记叙文

My wife and I recently completed a day-long tour of the Great Wall with Jessie.In addition to being very knowledgeable about the history of the areas that we toured,she spoke excellent English and was able to answer all of our questions.Her driver was very experienced and polite,and we really enjoyed being able to have a customized tour that avoided the tourist traps and forced shopping that seem to be a part of the larger group tours.

The attractions themselves were fantastic.I was a little worried that the snowy weather might impact our trip to the Great Wall,but everything went fine,and there weren’t many people out at all that day.I suggest wearing strong shoes—the Great Wall is really a hike.And on snowy or rainy days,the surfaces are pretty slippery(滑的)!Seeing this area in winter was really unique,and the snow made for great pictures.Jessie kept us entertained with stories and facts about the construction of the Great Wall,and always pointed out great spots for taking pictures.Even though she’s in fantastic shape,she cared about our level of fitness and often stopped to let us catch our breath.

When we got back to our hotel,Jessie gave us a great recommendation for dinner and some tips for our planned stops the next day.If I find myself in Beijing in the future,I will certainly be contacting Jessie for more tour opportunities,and I’ve already recommended her to some friends who are visiting the area later in the year.I can’t say enough about how kind and knowledgeable she was,and she really gave us a great tour experience.

1.What can we infer about Jessie?

A.She is a tour advisor.

B.She is a tour guide.

C.She is a foreign traveler.

D.She is a skilled driver.

2.When did the writer visit the Great Wall?

A.In spring. B.In summer.

C.In autumn. D.In winter.

3.What did the writer think of his tour?

Ⅱ.七选五

主题语境:人与社会　语篇类型:说明文

Are you thinking about holidaying alone,but a bit concerned about the dangers?You needn’t worry if you consider these tips first.

1.Safety

Unless you positively invite danger—i.e.wandering around a dark park at 3 am with headphones on—travelling alone isn’t actually that risky.　1　 In the case of taking taxis,always keep a record of the plate number and ask for an estimated fare before setting off.You should also carry your ID card with you and always keep a back-up.And most importantly,ensure that someone else knows your route and keep in regular contact with them. 

2.Plan

Being alone means you can’t use your partner’s phone when yours runs out of juice,or rely on them should you lose your wallet.　2　 It’s a good idea to write down some key numbers of friends,hotels and emergency services beforehand,and keep some back-up money in your bag,just in case. 

3.Eating

Many single travelers have a fear of eating alone.　3　 You can bring a book to avoid boredom,sit at counters to be less noticeable or use the opportunity to practice your foreign language on a waiter. 

4.Making friends

　4　 This is another common concern when travelling alone.In fact,acquiring new companions(伙伴) is easier than feared.You can smile at people,read something interesting to start a conversation,or ask strangers a question.All these help you look approachable.More hands-on tips include visiting bars,joining tours or using apps designed to help people make friends. 

5.Enjoy it

Without having to consider others’ needs,the joy of solo travel is that you can be entirely selfish:walk at your preferred pace,eat what and when you want,and go wherever you like to see the sights that interest you.　5　 

A.What if no one likes me on my trip?

B.The biggest danger is being taken for a ride.

C.It’s actually not so hard to get over your worry.

D.You needn’t get into a panic if this really happens.

E.However well you plan in advance,things will go wrong.

F.Just appreciate your independence and enjoy that freedom.

G.So put emergency systems in place before starting your trip.

ThePriceofaDream

I grew up in a poor family with six brothers,three sisters—a group of foster kids,my father and my wonderful mother.My parents worked day and night to keep a roof over our heads and food on our table.It’s true that we had little money and few goods,but we got plenty of love and attention.I was very happy and energetic.I understood that no matter how poor a person was,he could still afford a dream.

My dream was athletics.I fell in love with baseball at an early age.I practiced hard every day and that made me a little closer to my dream.By the time I was sixteen,I had made great progress:I could throw a ninety-mile-per-hour fast ball and hit anything that moved on the field.I was also lucky:my high school coach was Ollie Jarvis,who not only believed in me,but also taught me how to believe in myself.One particular incident(事件) with my coach Ollie Jarvis changed my life forever.

It was the summer holiday in Senior 2 and one of my friends recommended me for a summer job.This meant a chance for money in my pocket—certainly,money for a new bike and new clothes,and I could also begin to save money for a house for my mother,which was what I had always dreamed of.The prospect(前景) of this summer job was attractive and I wanted to jump at this chance.Then it hit me that I would have to give up summer baseball training to deal with the work schedule.I was afraid of telling my coach,who would certainly be against my plan.I hesitated for several days.At last,I spurred(给……打气) myself with the advice my mother often gave us,“If you make your bed,you have to lie in it.” I made up my mind.

注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;

2.请按如下格式作答。

When I told my coach Ollie Jarvis,he was as angry as I expected him to be.                

 “Well,” he asked,“is $3.5 an hour from the summer job the price of a dream?”

2.G　根据下文可知,事先记下一些重要的朋友、酒店和应急服务机构的电话号码,并在包里备一些钱以防万一,这是个好主意。由此可知是在出发前就要做好紧急措施,G选项中emergency对应下文中emergency。故G项符合语境。故选G项。

3.C　上文提到害怕一个人吃饭,下文则提出了解决办法,可知要克服一个人吃饭的忧虑并不困难。故C项符合语境。故选C项。

Ⅲ.【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。作者在文章中讲述了自己背包旅行的过程中得到了一位老人的建议,让作者意识到真正的旅行不只是看风景,还要了解当地的文化。

1.travelers’　考查名词所有格。句意:然而,它应该在旅游者的地图上占有一席之地。根据句意可知,提示词traveler作定语,修饰名词maps,表示“旅行者的地图”,应使用名词所有格。故填travelers’。

2.which　考查定语从句。分析句子可知,空格处引导非限制性定语从句,应使用关系代词which引导该定语从句。故填which。

9.isknown　考查动词时态和语态。固定短语 beknownas,表示“被认为是;以……著称”;描述客观的事实,用一般现在时;主语Theplace是单数名词,谓语动词用单数。故填isknown。

10.entertainment　考查名词。根据句意可知,空处与名词adventure是并列关系,作介词for后的宾语,应用名词形式entertainment。

WhenItoldmycoachOllieJarvis,hewasasangryasIexpectedhimtobe.“You have your whole life to work,” he said,with a serious look on his face,“but your playing days are limited.You can’t afford to waste them.” I stood before him with my head hanging,trying to think of the words that would explain to him why my dream of having money in my pocket and buying my mother a house was worth facing his disappointment in me.“How much are you going to make at this summer job,son?” he demanded.“$3.5 per hour,” I replied in a low voice.

“Well,”heasked,“is$3.5anhourfromthesummerjobthepriceofadream?”That simple question set me thinking.It made me understand the difference between wanting something right now and having a long-term goal.Determined to put all my heart into baseball,I promised the coach that I would give up the job.That summer,I dedicated myself to baseball training,and the next year,I was given a baseball scholarship to a university.Finally,I signed with a famous team for $1.7 million,and certainly bought my mother the house of my dream.
