一、阅读理解
Located in the middle of Turkey, the Cappadocia region is visited by millions of tourists each year who go for its volcanic rock formations, colorful cliffs and valleys, and ancient buildings carved into the rock. Here are some of the best things to do if you are visiting Cappadocia.
Hot air balloon ride
Perhaps one of the best ways to see Cappadocia's landscape is from the sky. A popular activity for tourists is a hot air balloon ride over the region, which is home to Goreme National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. As they fly, tourists can watch the natural rock tower formations known as "fairy chimneys" pass underneath, joining as many as 150 colorful balloons in the air on the same day.
Exploring underground cities
Cappadocia is also known for the 200 or more underground cities carved into its soft volcanic rock. The largest of these cities, Derinkuyu, has 18 levels of tunnels and could be over 3,000 years old. Rediscovered in the 1960s, it is one of several underground cities in the area that are now open to the public.
ATV tours
For a higher-energy experience, consider an all-terrain vehicle（ATV）tour. Often lasting around two hours, the tours will stop at some of the top places to take pictures and enjoy the view. The best time of day to do an ATV tour is at sunset, when the rocks reflect the light from the sun in pink and red colors.
Hiking trails
For those who would like to do things more slowly, the region also offers many hiking trails that pass historical sites and places to enjoy the view. For example, visitors can find churches carved into the rock in Rose Valley and see ancient pigeon houses—carved into the rock for raising pigeons—on the Pigeon Valley hike.
1、What can we know about the Derinkuyu?
A. It has a long history. B. It stands on a volcano.
C. It was discovered again in 1960. D. It is the only city open to the public.
2、In which activity are you most likely to enjoy a breathtaking sunset?
A. Hiking trails B. ATV tours
C. Hot air balloon ride D. Exploring underground cities
3、What do Hot air balloon ride and Hiking trails have in common?
A. Visitors can have a slow journey.
B. Visitors can enjoy a bird's eye view.
C. Visitors can enjoy the view of ancient sites.
D. Visitors can stop at some top places to take photos.
It was while watching the movie The Savages in 2009 that photographer Kendrick Brinson first caught sight of Sun City, Arizona, a big retirement community northwest of Phoenix. The film scene—with bright desert light, golf carts, and tidy rows of farm-style homes— "had this really strange, very visually interesting look to it," she says.
Since then, Brinson, 40, has gone every year to photograph Sun City's residents, some of whom have become her close friends. Observing the enthusiasm people have so many activities there, the self-described perfectionist says she learned something about herself: "I realized that I don't have to be great, or even good at something. I can just like the way it feels." She's taken up hobbies such as watercolor painting.
Opened in 1960, Sun City bills itself as the Original Fun City, designed for residents 55 and older. While retirement communities have rapidly increased across the country to meet the needs of graying baby boomers, Sun City remains one of the largest. Its 14 square miles of palm tree-lined streets feature eight golf courses, eight entertainment centers with seven water facilities, multiple malls, two libraries, a hospital, and one cemetery.
The average age of the nearly 40,000 residents is 73. Sun City has been mainly white, but Brinson says the community is starting to focus more on diversity and inclusiveness. On each visit, she finds herself filled with renewed energy. "It's this purposeful learning, socializing, playfulness that I find super fascinating," she says.
As with any group of aging people, loss is very much a part of life at Sun City; some of Brinson's friends have passed away. But residents say they don't quite mourn death. "This is not God's waiting room," one told her. "Everyone is active and doing something."
4、Who most likely lived in the Sun City?
A. Ann, a college student B. Susan, a retired banker
C. John, an employed photographer D. Candy, a newborn baby
5、What did Brinson learn from the Sun City's residents?
A. Time and tide wait for no man.
B. Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.
C. Chances are for people who are prepared.
D. No need to pursue perfection at some time.
6、What can we learn about Sun City according to the passage?
A. It has neat farm-style houses. B. It is accessible to people under 55.
C. It is the biggest entertainment city. D. It only accommodates white residents.
7、What's the residents' attitude toward loss in the Sun City?
A. Neutral B. Optimistic C. Negative D. Unclear
At last count. Debbie Baker had 3,000 Barbie dolls. Her affection may seem unusual, but experts agree: Being an excited hobbyist is good for you.
Hobbies reduce stress, says Alice Domar, director of the Mind&-Body Center for Women's Health at Harvard Medical School. They keep you from everyday worries: If you're focused on the pottery you're making, you can't be anxious about your work, says Domar. And knitting, or anything requiring repeated motion, inspires the relaxation response, a feeling of overall peace, marked by lowered blood pressure.
Hobbies provide a calming sense of control, says Domar, and research suggests this strengthens your body. You may have little say at work, but when you're woodworking, you're in charge. You get the credit and satisfaction of a job well done.
As we know, physical activity extends life, but a recent Swedish study showed less active activities are healthy as well. People who regularly took part in hobbies such as sewing and gardening were less likely to suffer mental decline. Similar research in The New England Journal of Medicine found that those who went after mind—boosting activities—such as crossword puzzles—lowered their risk of Alzheimer's disease or other dementia（老年痴呆症）. "Any hobby that challenges the brain should have a positive effect on dementia risk." says lead author Joe Verghese, a neurologist.
Many hobbies are social. From dealing cards at bridge to exchanging tips with other collectors-establishing close relationship with like-minded souls betters health. A Japanese study of almost 12,000 people found that men who were involved in hobbies or community activities were less likely to die of stroke or circulatory disorders than those who didn't.
So keep fishing or collecting dolls. Others may think you're crazy—you know otherwise.
8、Why does the author mention Debbie Baker in the first paragraph?
A. To introduce the topic. B. To show the influence of dolls.
C. To compare with experts' opinion. D. To stress the importance of collecting dolls.
9、Why do people like woodworking?
A. It helps get relaxed. B. It helps improve intelligence.
C. It helps reduce blood pressure. D. It helps have a sense of achievement
10、Which hobby most likely reduces the risk of dementia?
A. Watching TV. B. Collecting cards. C. Playing bridge. D. Fast walking.
11、Where does the text most probably come from?
A. A science fiction. B. A news report.
C. A doll advertisement. D. A health magazine.
Mr. Asada is just one of many growers in Shizuoka, one of Japan's largest wasabi-growing（山葵种植）regions, who must face rising challenges from global warming and the effect of untended forests. Already, these hazards have gradually weakened the centuries-old culture of wasabi in the area and damaged the future of one of the area's most important agricultural products and its tourism business.
Over the last decade, the number of wasabi produced in Shizuoka has dropped by close to 55 percent, according to the Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries. The wasabi that comes in tubes and packets is actually a mixture of wasabi and horseradish（辣根）—or includes no wasabi at all. These days, almost only expensive restaurants have access to fresh wasabi giving their customers a chance to experience the unique flavor and traditional culture of wasabi.
Wasabi plants grow up in spring water that flows down from the mountains, helping to improve their flavor and sweetness. Over time, local growers say, the spring water has worsened in quality due to a large number of cypress trees which grow like crazy in the untended forests.
Global warming has upset the balance even further. The delicate wasabi plants, which take more than a year to be full-grown, do best in conditions no higher than about 70 degrees Fahrenheit. In recent years, heat waves in Japan have regularly pushed temperatures into the 90s and even above 100 degrees, causing more stems to rot.
Government researchers and local growers have started to experiment with crossbreeding in an effort to develop better wasabi varieties that will grow strong even in the rising heat. The challenge is that unlike with other crops such as cucumbers or tomatoes getting seeds and growing seedlings from wasabi requires advanced technology. Most growers rely on specialized companies to clone seedlings in labs and greenhouses. Crossbreeding new varieties needs difficult pollination（授粉）efforts, and most of all time.
12、What's the meaning of the underlined word "hazards" in paragraph 1?
A. signals B. adventures C. threats D. measures
13、What can we learn about wasabi according to the text?
A. It is popular in Japan. B. It likes high temperature.
C. It is damaged by the cypress trees. D. It will develop into new species very soon.
14、How do researchers help to grow wasabi in Japan?
A. They attempt to get seeds from wasabi.
B. They make efforts to develop species standing the heat.
C. They depend on companies to clone seedlings.
D. They help complete the process of pollination.
15、What is the best title for the text?
A. Wasabi under severe threats B. Global warming risks wasabi
C. Wasabi—a popular food choice D. Researchers and growers are saving wasabi

六、读后续写
34、阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文
I entered my freshman year of high school with a philosophy: work hard and do whatever 1 could succeed at. I thought I would make some impressive achievements in this way. I wouldn't waste my time on areas I was not good at.
And this philosophy served me well. I worked hard on my lessons and piano practice, which I had talent for, and got the results I wanted usually in the shape of good grades and rewards. My friends laughed about my all-or-nothing attitude, but I thought it was the only sure path to success.
At the beginning of the second year of high school. I fully intended to keep the same attitude. Then I joined the school cross-country running team a year after I had watched cross-country races. I joined mainly because my brother was on the team; he was entering his senior year, and I wanted to spend more time with him before he left for college. Also, many of my friends were on the team, and they had been trying to persuade me to join them for months.
When I came to the first practice. I was filled with optimism and dreamed of being an excellent runner. But as the distance we ran each practice gradually increased. I realized however hard I tried. I was the slowest on the team. And the muscle injury was often intolerable. What was the point of putting me through so much pain? I'd never be an excellent runner. For the first few weeks. I had been thinking of giving up.
Then we had our first cross-country meet. When we got off the bus at Lamoille High School, dressed in our blue uniforms with our team name shown on the shirts the sight of the other teams warming up made me anxious. I thought I would let my team down. And I guessed my coach and teammates would be disappointed at my performance and blame me. This thought made me decide to quit the cross-country running team after the race.
Now, looking at the tough course made up of a series of short. steep（陡峭的）hills. I stood silently with my teammates.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为 150 左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答,
Together, we jogged to the starting line.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Surprisingly, my coach and teammates were smiling and cheering for me.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

32、答案：①have been②to be educated③both④the⑤closely⑥what⑦joined⑧highest⑨by⑩analysis
解析：文本是一篇说明文，主要介绍了孔子思想中“仁”的概念。
①考查时态。句意：两千多年来，孔子的教诲一直是中国文化的重要组成部分。分析句子结构可知，本空为句子谓语。根据空前的“for more than 2000 years”可知，句子的谓语动词要用现在完成时，并且主语“the teachings of Confucius”中的“the teachings”为复数。故填have been。
②考查非谓语动词。句意：中国古代的学者期望接受孔子的哲学和道德价值观的教育。设空处前的“were expected”可知，短语“be expected to do sth.”意为“期望做某事”，且Scholars in ancient China与动词educate(教育)为动宾关系，故用过去分词educated表被动。故填to be educated。
③考查连词。句意：即使在今天，儒家思想在中国和其他东亚国家仍然非常受重视。both...and... 意为“不仅……而且……，……和……（两者）都”，用于连接两个并列的事物，空后面的“in China”和“in other East Asian countries”为并列关系，且两者之间又有“and”，故填both。
④考查冠词。句意：当你阅读孔子的著作时，你会看到一个不断出现的词，一个代表儒家思想核心的汉字:“仁”。空前“a Chinese character”与空后的“character ren”为同一事物，都指的是汉字“仁”；上文提到的事物，在下文再次提及时，则名词前需要用定冠词the。故填the。
⑤考查副词。句意：如果你近看这文字，你就能明白它的意思。设空处前面的词为动词“look”，故此处应用副词修饰动词，close要转换为副词closely(接近地)。故填closely。
⑥考查宾语从句。句意：如果你近看这文字，你就能明白它的意思。空前的“understand”为主句的谓语动词，故“understand”后面为句子的宾语，空后面的“it means”为一个句子，因此设空处应填一个连接词引导宾语从句，且在后面“it means”这个从句中充当宾语成分。故根据句意得知，此处填what。
⑦考查状语从句的省略。句意：当这两个元素结合在一起时，表明了个人之间或与整个社会的关系。分析句子结构可知，状语从句中when后省略了they are，they代替the two elements。根据句意得知“the two elements”应是“被结合在一起”，故they与join(结合)构成动宾关系，此处填过去分词joined做状语。故填joined。
⑧考查形容词。句意：孔子教导说，仁是最高的道德原则，是衡量所有其他道德的标准。根据句意得知，“孔子教导仁是最高级的道德原则”，结合空前定冠词the, 故本空应填形容词最高级highest(最高的)。故填highest。
⑨考查介词。句意：孔子教导说，仁是最高的道德原则，是衡量所有其他道德的标准。分析句子结构可知，the standard为先行词，其后为其定语从句。“be measured by”为固定搭配，故空后面是由“介词+which” 引导的非限制性定语从句，故此处填介词by。
⑩考查名词。句意：孟子，一位伟大学者以深入的分析儒家思想而闻名，这样解释仁:“爱父母，爱人，爱世界上的一切。”设空处前的“in -depth”为形容词，表示“彻底的，深入的”，故其后应接名词。动词analyze(分析)要转换为名词analysis(分析)，所以此处填analysis。

34、答案：
Together, we jogged to the starting line. We had a quick warm-up before the race. When the race started, I felt enormous pressure on my shoulders. I was increasingly frustrated as I watched more and more runners rush past me. I tried my best, but I still the slowest on the team. I even couldn’t find any runners around me. I thought they may be running to the final line now. It was a tiring course. Finally, I stopped running and struggled to walk up the last challenging hill. Just then, I heard people calling my name from the top of the hill.
Surprisingly, my coach and teammates were smiling and cheering for me. I was confused and embarrassed because my performance was terrible. Anyway, I stopped caring about my performance and ran to the final point with all my might. As I was jogging up the last section of the hill, my coach and teammates all applauded me for my efforts. Not until then did I realize my coach and teammates didn’t care how fast I ran. I learned I shouldn’t attach too much importance to the result. In fact, the process is more important. After that meet, I continued cross-country and focused on enjoying the journey.
