I remember exactly how I felt when I was listening to instructions on what to do in the water for my first ever whitewater rafting (漂流) trip. It was a mixture of fear and excitement—feelings I usually get before I begin a new adventure. I had been in Costa Rica for three days and one of my goals for the trip was to raft down the beautiful Pacuare River.
I think it is stories like this that lead people to tell me I have an adventurous spirit. But was this experience really adventurous? My tour guide has gone down the river many times, but the excitement was gone and he was just doing his job. Another couple I had met on the trip had been to Costa Rica six times. To them, it was just another trip.
I think a big part of any adventure is in the novelty (新鲜) of the experience. You have to break new ground and experience what you’ve never experienced before. Part of the fun of adventures lies in not knowing what the result will be. That’s not something you get from things you know really well.
The second feature of adventure is fear. Anything adventurous has a little bit of fear in it. That doesn’t necessarily mean overcoming your biggest fears. Just a little fear is all that is needed.
It doesn’t matter if the thing you’re doing has been done before by other people. If it is new to you and something you feel nervous about, it is adventurous. This is why my rafting down the river in Costa Rica was adventurous to me while to my guide, it was just another day on the job.
For me, one of the greatest things about adventure is how it affects me internally (内在地). Before an adventure you only recognize your limits; afterwards you realize that you have no limits. That’s an amazing thing to think about and something I think everyone should experience.
4. How did the author feel before the first whitewater rafting?
A. Excited but hesitant. B. Calm and hopeful.
C. Amused and relaxed. D. Excited but fearful.
5. Why did the guide and the couple feel different from the author?
A. Because the trip lost freshness to them.
B. Because they were doing their separate jobs.
C. Because they overcame their fears completely.
D. Because they didn’t like the trip actually.
6. What is partial fun of adventures from according to the third paragraph?
A. Overcoming the biggest fear. B. Knowing something well.
C. Facing the unknown result. D. Breaking one’s old ground.
7. What is the text about?
A. First experience of whitewater rafting trip.
B. Love for outdoor adventurous experience.
C. Memory of living in Costa Rica.
D. Understanding of the adventurous spirit.
C
When the last snow melts and everything becomes green again, you probably feel very happy. You know that summer is drawing near soon, and you will be able to be outdoors in the sunshine. People all over the world have celebrated the coming of spring and the rebirth of nature. Though customs differ from one place to another, many of them use eggs as a sign of new life.
To Christians, springtime is Easter time. Easter is a religious holiday celebrating the rebirth of Christ. Many Easter customs have to do with eggs: decorating them, hiding them, and eating them.
For Jews, springtime is Passover time. Passover is a celebration of the Jew’s escape from slavery to freedom. People eat eggs as meals during this special holiday because eggs stand for freedom, new beginnings, and new life for them.
Many old European customs think eggs as a symbol of rebirth and love. In Hungary, a boy earns a coloured egg if he can splash (洒湿) a girl with perfumed water. In parts of Germany, girls go into the woods in the springtime and bring back a tree decorated with green, red, and white ribbons. As they carry the colourful tree home, they sing.
“Spring comes to visit us,
With eggs that are red,
With yellow pancakes...
We are carrying Summer
Into the village.”
In England, rolling coloured eggs down slopes on Easter Monday was popular. Rolling eggs across the White House lawn has become a tradition in the United States.
In ancient times Egyptians and Persians celebrated their spring festivals by colouring and eating eggs. They understood the world was actually created in the spring. Some of them thought that at first the world itself was one huge egg!
8. What can we learn from the text?
A. Eggs are a popular dish in most cultures.
B. Easter eggs spread around the world.
C. Spring is very important to people all over the world.
D. People worldwide celebrate the spring’s coming in the same manner.
9. Why is Passover time important for Jews?
A. Because it means the booming of Jewish culture.
B. Because it means the end of suffering for Jews.
C. Because it means the success of Jewish people.
D. Because it means the birth of a new country.
10. How do some Germans celebrate the coming of spring?

C. By decorating eggs in colors. D. By taking home trees with ribbons.
11. What might be the best title for the text?
A. Easter colourful eggs B. Western foods
C. Spring celebrations D. Christmas traditions
D
The world’s first zero-carbon city is being built in Abu Dhabi and is designed to be not only free of cars and high buildings but also powered by the sun
The oil-rich United Arab Emirates (UAE) is the last place you would expect to learn lessons on low-carbon living, but the eco-city of Masdar could teach the world. While the presence of fossil fuel (矿物燃料) has helped make UAE one of the world’s wealthiest countries, the officials there are well aware that the oil wells will eventually run dry, leaving them with no choice, but to use renewable sources of energy.
Masdar is combining 21st-century engineering with traditional desert architecture to create zero-carbon comfort. It will house about 50,000 people, at least 1,000 businesses and a university. It is being designed by the British architectural firm Foster + Partners. The architects are turning the desert’s greatest threat-the sun-into their greatest fortune. They have built the biggest solar farm in the Middle East to power the city.
Traditional cars must be checked in at the city gates before you enter the city. And you can choose between the oldest and newest ways of transport. At street level, the streets will be narrow, just to let people walk by and so the buildings will shade each other, and the planners have done their best to keep the city foot-friendly. But if you feel tired, you can go down a level to take mini vehicles. These driverless vehicles can carry up to 6 people and will be solar powered or battery operated. They are programmed to go where you ask.
Water that is used in homes or for gardens will be recycled. All waste will be converted to energy or as nutrients for soil. The whole purpose of Masdar City is to reuse or recycle everything that is in it even some of the construction materials around gardens and city.
12. Why did UAE decide to build a zero-carbon city?
A. Because the oil wells may dry up in the future.
B. Because the low-carbon living is very popular.
C. Because the price of fossil fuel is always on the rise.
D. Because the air pollution is becoming a global danger
13. What is the fourth paragraph mainly about?
A. The strict limitations on traditional cars.
B. The benefits of foot-friendly streets.
C. The means of transportation in Masdar.
D. The convenience of taking driverless vehicles.
14. What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to?
A. Homes or gardens B. Masdar City.
C. Nutrients for soil. D. Construction materials.
15. In which part of the newspaper can you probably read the text?
A. Sports. B. science.
C. Business. D. Culture.

I remember exactly how I felt when I was listening to instructions on what to do in the water for my first ever whitewater rafting (漂流) trip. It was a mixture of fear and excitement—feelings I usually get before I begin a new adventure. I had been in Costa Rica for three days and one of my goals for the trip was to raft down the beautiful Pacuare River.
I think it is stories like this that lead people to tell me I have an adventurous spirit. But was this experience really adventurous? My tour guide has gone down the river many times, but the excitement was gone and he was just doing his job. Another couple I had met on the trip had been to Costa Rica six times. To them, it was just another trip.
I think a big part of any adventure is in the novelty (新鲜) of the experience. You have to break new ground and experience what you’ve never experienced before. Part of the fun of adventures lies in not knowing what the result will be. That’s not something you get from things you know really well.
The second feature of adventure is fear. Anything adventurous has a little bit of fear in it. That doesn’t necessarily mean overcoming your biggest fears. Just a little fear is all that is needed.
It doesn’t matter if the thing you’re doing has been done before by other people. If it is new to you and something you feel nervous about, it is adventurous. This is why my rafting down the river in Costa Rica was adventurous to me while to my guide, it was just another day on the job.
For me, one of the greatest things about adventure is how it affects me internally (内在地). Before an adventure you only recognize your limits; afterwards you realize that you have no limits. That’s an amazing thing to think about and something I think everyone should experience.
4. How did the author feel before the first whitewater rafting?
A. Excited but hesitant. B. Calm and hopeful.
C. Amused and relaxed. D. Excited but fearful.
5. Why did the guide and the couple feel different from the author?
A. Because the trip lost freshness to them.
B. Because they were doing their separate jobs.
C. Because they overcame their fears completely.
D. Because they didn’t like the trip actually.
6. What is partial fun of adventures from according to the third paragraph?
A. Overcoming the biggest fear. B. Knowing something well.
C. Facing the unknown result. D. Breaking one’s old ground.
7. What is the text about?
A. First experience of whitewater rafting trip.
B. Love for outdoor adventurous experience.
C. Memory of living in Costa Rica.
D. Understanding of the adventurous spirit.

When the last snow melts and everything becomes green again, you probably feel very happy. You know that summer is drawing near soon, and you will be able to be outdoors in the sunshine. People all over the world have celebrated the coming of spring and the rebirth of nature. Though customs differ from one place to another, many of them use eggs as a sign of new life.
To Christians, springtime is Easter time. Easter is a religious holiday celebrating the rebirth of Christ. Many Easter customs have to do with eggs: decorating them, hiding them, and eating them.
For Jews, springtime is Passover time. Passover is a celebration of the Jew’s escape from slavery to freedom. People eat eggs as meals during this special holiday because eggs stand for freedom, new beginnings, and new life for them.
Many old European customs think eggs as a symbol of rebirth and love. In Hungary, a boy earns a coloured egg if he can splash (洒湿) a girl with perfumed water. In parts of Germany, girls go into the woods in the springtime and bring back a tree decorated with green, red, and white ribbons. As they carry the colourful tree home, they sing.
“Spring comes to visit us,
With eggs that are red,
With yellow pancakes...
We are carrying Summer
Into the village.”
In England, rolling coloured eggs down slopes on Easter Monday was popular. Rolling eggs across the White House lawn has become a tradition in the United States.
In ancient times Egyptians and Persians celebrated their spring festivals by colouring and eating eggs. They understood the world was actually created in the spring. Some of them thought that at first the world itself was one huge egg!

The world’s first zero-carbon city is being built in Abu Dhabi and is designed to be not only free of cars and high buildings but also powered by the sun
The oil-rich United Arab Emirates (UAE) is the last place you would expect to learn lessons on low-carbon living, but the eco-city of Masdar could teach the world. While the presence of fossil fuel (矿物燃料) has helped make UAE one of the world’s wealthiest countries, the officials there are well aware that the oil wells will eventually run dry, leaving them with no choice, but to use renewable sources of energy.
Masdar is combining 21st-century engineering with traditional desert architecture to create zero-carbon comfort. It will house about 50,000 people, at least 1,000 businesses and a university. It is being designed by the British architectural firm Foster + Partners. The architects are turning the desert’s greatest threat-the sun-into their greatest fortune. They have built the biggest solar farm in the Middle East to power the city.
Traditional cars must be checked in at the city gates before you enter the city. And you can choose between the oldest and newest ways of transport. At street level, the streets will be narrow, just to let people walk by and so the buildings will shade each other, and the planners have done their best to keep the city foot-friendly. But if you feel tired, you can go down a level to take mini vehicles. These driverless vehicles can carry up to 6 people and will be solar powered or battery operated. They are programmed to go where you ask.
Water that is used in homes or for gardens will be recycled. All waste will be converted to energy or as nutrients for soil. The whole purpose of Masdar City is to reuse or recycle everything that is in it even some of the construction materials around gardens and city.
12. Why did UAE decide to build a zero-carbon city?
A. Because the oil wells may dry up in the future.
B. Because the low-carbon living is very popular.
C. Because the price of fossil fuel is always on the rise.
D. Because the air pollution is becoming a global danger
13. What is the fourth paragraph mainly about?
A. The strict limitations on traditional cars.
B. The benefits of foot-friendly streets.
C. The means of transportation in Masdar.
D. The convenience of taking driverless vehicles.
14. What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to?
A. Homes or gardens B. Masdar City.
C. Nutrients for soil. D. Construction materials.
15. In which part of the newspaper can you probably read the text?
A. Sports. B. science.
C. Business. D. Culture.
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. B 15. B

Who loves us most? Our parents.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Who loves us most? Our parents. Parents are the people we should turn to when having problems. As we become older, we may have our own ideas about the world. But we still need to accept their advice, just like when we were children.
First, when we try something new, we should share our ideas with them. Try to explain in a patient and calm manner. Listening to their voice will earn us their trust.
Second, whatever we do, we should think it over and try to do the right thing. Thus, our parents will believe we have grown up enough. Finally, remember to greet our parents often. Sometimes, a phone call is a pleasant surprise.
