A 4—DAY GORILLA SAFARI(游猎) IN UGANDA
Just £3,500 per person!
What makes this trip extraordinary?
— Short fly—in safari for those with limited time, cutting down travel time.
— Two days tracking gorillas in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest.
— Explore the exciting Batwa Trail.
DAY 1 ENTEBBE—BWINDI
You will catch a short flight to Bwindi at Entebbe International Airport. Upon arrival, you will be met by your expert guide, and then take a bus to the lovely Bwindi Lodge (approx. 45 mins). It is a chance to relax and admire the views over the forest.

DAY 2 BWINDI IMPENETRABLE FOREST
Today’s activities may be among the most exciting and challenging of any safari! The gorillas we will track belong to one of only a few family groups. For up to five years, these groups have undergone an extremely delicate process that has gradually brought them to tolerate the presence of humans for a brief period every day. The gorillas are by no means tame, and are completely wild animals. However, experienced guides will accompany you on your tracking. The guides will use their knowledge to locate the group’s whereabouts.
Overnight: Bwindi Lodge
DAY 3 BWINDI IMPENETRABLE FOREST
Today you can spend a second day tracking gorillas. Ideally, try and spend as little time today behind the lens of your camera as possible, so you can fully appreciate this precious experience. If you would prefer, you could enjoy forest walks around Bwindi, go birding, or explore the exciting Batwa Trail.
Overnight: Bwindi Lodge
DAY 4 BWINDI—DEPART

At 81 years old, Jeanne Daprano is still pushing her body to the limit. She’s still running competitive races, breaking world records and taking on new challenges. “The thing I’m learning about aging is that it’s inevitable,” Daprano said. “I’m not going to escape it. There are two ways to go: You can either press on or give up.”
Daprano grew up in Iowa. Then, she moved to California. As a primary school teacher, she began running in order to keep up with her student. “I was known as a running teacher,” she said. “I had my students do fitness before we studied in the morning and then throughout the day.” Then she began running competitively with 5K and 10K road races before moving to the track. She is now the world record holder in the women’s 75-year-old age group 400 meters and 800 meters. “When I get to the final finish line, I want this body to be worn out. I’m not doing this to live to be 100. I’m doing this to be the best I can be today.”
After moving to Atlanta about a decade ago, Daprano met fitness trainer David Buer. Ever since, she’s been coming to his gym, where he tailors workouts for Daprano’s specifc needs. “When she came to me, she was pushing 70 years old,” Buer said. “I’ve worked with other individuals Jeanne’s age, but she came to me with different goals. She had a unique drive and passion — not just a passion for fitness or athletics but for life in general.”
Last February, Daprano took on a new challenge: her first indoor rowing competition. In classic fashion, she broke the world record in the 80-to-84 age group, rowing 2,000 meters in 9:23:7. For those hoping to either start getting in shape or stay in shape for a long time, she offers this advice: Listen to your body. What are you passionate about? How are you going to keep physically fit and mentally fit? Start where you are. Don’t look ahead or compare yourself to somebody else.
4. What does the underlined word “inevitable” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. Invisible. B. Abnormal.
C. Impossible. D. Unavoidable.
5. Daprano started her life as a runner when _____________.
A. working at a primary school
B. taking fitness training classes
C. volunteering in a 5K road race
D. moving to California from Iowa
6. What might be Buer’s first impression of Daprano?
A. She was a qualified teacher.
B. She was an unusual woman.
C. She was too old to run a race.
D. She was hard to get along with.
7. What does Daprano suggest we do?
A. Run right now. B. Live and learn.
C. Follow your heart. D. Be a good listener.
【答案】4. D 5. A 6. B 7. C
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇记叙文。81岁的Jeanne Daprano仍然在突破身体的极限，她参加竞技比赛，打破世界纪录，接受新的挑战。文章介绍了她如何开始跑步并描述了她对运动的热爱。
【4题详解】
词义猜测题。根据文章第一段“I’m not going to escape it. There are two ways to go: You can either press on or give up.”（我不会逃避的。你有两种选择：要么坚持下去，要么放弃。）可以推测，Jeanne Daprano认为衰老是一个不可避免的过程，她无法逃避，只有两种选择，要么坚持，要么放弃。inevitable与unavoidable为近义词。故选D项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Daprano grew up in Iowa. Then, she moved to California. As a primary school teacher, she began running in order to keep up with her student.”（Daprano在爱荷华州长大。后来，她搬到了加州。作为一名小学教师，她开始跑步以跟上她的学生。）可知，当在一所小学工作时，Daprano开始了她的跑步生涯。故选A项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段““When she came to me, she was pushing 70 years old,” Buer said. “I’ve worked with other individuals Jeanne’s age, but she came to me with different goals. She had a unique drive and passion — not just a passion for fitness or athletics but for life in general.””（布尔说:“她来找我的时候已经快70岁了。”“我和其他和珍妮同龄的人一起工作过，但她带着不同的目标来找我。她有一种独特的动力和激情——不仅仅是对健身或运动的激情，而是对生活的激情。”）可知，当Buer第一次见到Daprano时，他认为她是与众不同的。故选B项。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“For those hoping to either start getting in shape or stay in shape for a long time, she offers this advice: Listen to your body. What are you passionate about? How are you going to keep physically fit and mentally fit? Start where you are. Don’t look ahead or compare yourself to somebody else.”（对于那些希望开始保持身材或长期保持身材的人，她提供了这样的建议：倾听你的身体。你对什么有热情？你将如何保持身体健康和精神健康？ 从你所在的地方开始。不要向前看，也不要拿自己和别人比较。）可知，Daprano建议我们跟随自己的内心做出选择。故选C项。
C
Cutlery (餐具) including chopsticks, knives, forks and spoons which delivers an electric shock to change the taste of food could help cut down salt in fast food. Scientists have developed a pair of chopsticks, which can make food taste saltier, sour or bitter without the need for extra seasoning (调味). They are also working on a spoon and fork that could make food taste spicier or sweeter. This “digital seasoning” technology could help food manufacturers and restaurants to reduce the amount of salt they put into food without relinquishing taste.
They work by delivering pulses of electricity to the tip of the tongue to stimulate the tastebuds(味蕾). Dr Nimesha Ranasinghe, an assistant professor who led the work on the electric cutlery, said, “This technology is aimed at creating a virtual taste sensation.”
Some Chinese takeaway food and ready meals were recently found to contain up to 11 times more salt than a bag of crisps — more than half of an adult’s daily allowance. Salt is known to be linked to serious health problems like heart disease and stroke.
But using a pair of electric chopsticks could help cut salt levels without influencing the taste, said Dr Ranasinghe. The technology, which Dr Ranasinghe initially developed while at the University of Singapore, works by installing two electrodes (电极) into each chopstick or the end of a spoon. These electrodes send a weak current through the tip of the tongue when they touch it to stimulate the taste buds.
By controlling the frequency and strength of the electric current, the researchers can stimulate either sourness, saltiness or bitterness. They say up to 80% of people experience changes in saltiness and sourness with the devices and 70% can sense changes in bitterness.
Dr Ranasinghe said he was also working on ways of imitating sweetness and spiciness by rapidly heating and cooling the tongue. It could lead to a spoon that allows desserts to taste sweet while having lower sugar levels or a fork that can give a curry extra heat without the need for extra chilies (辣椒). Dr Ranasinghe said: “We have some early findings of imitating sweetness, a mint-cool sensation and hot or spicy sensations.”
8. What seasoning cutlery has been developed?
A. Chopsticks. B. Knives. C. Forks. D. Spoons.
9. How does the seasoning cutlery work?
A. It cuts down salt in food.
B. It adds extra seasoning in food.
C. It delivers an electric shock to the tongue.
D. It weakens our taste sensation in our mind.
10. What does the underlined word “relinquishing” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A. Removing. B. Attracting. C. Acquiring. D. Compromising.
11. What does the text mainly want to tell us?
A. Give yourself an electric shock to make takeaways healthy.
B. Try to eat at home instead of having take-out food to stay healthy.
C Make your food taste saltier by using a pair of electric chopsticks.
D. Reduce the amount of salt in your food to avoid health problems.
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. D 11. C
【解析】

细节理解题。根据第一段中“Cutlery (餐具) including chopsticks, knives, forks and spoons which delivers an electric shock to change the taste of food could help cut down salt in fast food.(包括筷子、刀、叉和勺子在内的餐具可以通过电击来改变食物的味道，这有助于减少快餐中的盐分)”以及第二段中“They work by delivering pulses of electricity to the tip of the tongue to stimulate the tastebuds (味蕾).(它们通过向舌尖发送电脉冲来刺激味蕾)”可知，这种餐具的工作原理是向舌尖发送电脉冲，以刺激味蕾。故选C。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段中“They are also working on a spoon and fork that could make food taste spicier or sweeter.(他们还在研究一种能让食物尝起来更辣或更甜的勺子和叉子)”可推知，划线词所在句意为：这种“数字调味”技术可以帮助食品制造商和餐馆在不放弃味道的情况下减少食物中的盐含量。由此推知，划线词relinquishing意为“放弃”。故选D。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文内容，结合第一段中“Cutlery (餐具) including chopsticks, knives, forks and spoons which delivers an electric shock to change the taste of food could help cut down salt in fast food.(包括筷子、刀、叉和勺子在内的餐具可以通过电击来改变食物的味道，这有助于减少快餐中的盐分)”可知，本文主要介绍了研究人员研发了一种电子筷，使食物尝起来更咸，有助于减少食盐摄入，同时不会影响食物的口味。由此可知，C项“用一双电筷子让你的食物尝起来更咸”能够总结文章大意。故选C。

Last year Congress issued a moral call to action when it ordered the National Institutes of Health to reevaluate its ethical oversight (伦理上的疏忽) of government-funded primate (灵长类) research. Although the scientific community widely sees nonhuman primates as essential for advances in biomedicine (they have caused major gains in the fights against AIDS and neurological diseases such as Parkinson’s, for example), researchers agree more can be done to treat the animals more humanely and conduct research less wastefully. To that end, the NIH gathered famous scientists last September to discuss the future of primate-based research—and they agreed that data sharing is the way forward.
Researchers could reduce experiments on nonhuman primates by studying data that have already been collected to answer new questions, says David O’Connor, a pathologist at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. O’Connor is walking the walk: his laboratory studies the Zika virus in primates, and he immediately posts all the results online. The goal is to figure out ways to fight Zika as quickly as possible without placing an undue burden on research primates. The Seattle-based Allen Institute for Brain Science, which uses rhesus macaques, small South Asian monkeys, to study the molecular basis of brain development, also makes all results public. O’Connor says this practice should be more widespread so that “researchers who are using this scarce but vital resource can learn as much as possible from as few animals as necessary.” Still, he is skeptical that data sharing will catch on because it would require a change in “normative behavior”—science’s strong culture of secrecy, in which data are kept under wraps until they are published in a peer-reviewed journal. One step toward full transparency is to follow the lead of human clinical trials, says Christine Grady, a bioethicist at the NIH. U.S. law requires most clinical trials to register online and make their results public, even if a study fails or is inconclusive. This ensures that other researchers can learn from a trial regardless of its results—a move that could also safeguard primates against being used for the same thing twice. Nancy Haigwood, director of the Oregon National Primate Research Center, also says data sharing is “the way of the future.” Her center hosts 4,800 primates to study a variety of human diseases. She currently contributes results from her center to O’Connor’s Web site. “I don’t see a drawback,” she says. “We have to share data more quickly.”
12. What does Congress think of the primate research?
A. It has done a great deal of good to advances in biomedicine.
B. It is a huge waste of money to conduct research on primates.
C. Primate-based research must be stopped for moral reasons.
D. Proper attention should be given to treating primates humanely.
13. The underlined phrase “walking the walk” in Paragraph 2 shows that O’Connor _______.
A. is the leader in fighting Zika virus in primates
B. is walking away from his own responsibility
C. is carrying out what he has said he should do
D. is taking a tough road when posting his data
14. According to O’Connor, what might prevent scientists from sharing their data?
A. The deep-rooted culture that data should be kept secret until published.
B. The fact that scientists are reluctant to change their way of research.
C. The requirement that most clinical trials should be registered online.
D. The fear that they will be laughed at if a study fails or is inconclusive.
15. What could be the best title for the passage?
A. The Merciless Practice of Primate Research
B. To Treat Primates More Humanely: Transparency
C. To Abandon Experiments on Primates: Final Goal
D. The Burden of Research on Nonhuman Primates
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【分析】文章就国会重新评估对政府资助的灵长类动物的伦理疏忽的问题，探讨了对灵长类动物实验如何做到更加人道的问题。
12题详解】
细节理解题。根据首段第二句researchers agree more can be done to treat the animals more humanely and conduct research less wastefully.可知，研究者同意应该对待动物更人道和减少科研浪费，故D项符合文意。A项与问题不符，文中这样说Although…即：虽然这种研究对进步很关键，可见这是“以退为进”的纠正说法，后面的主句才是真正要表达的意思。B项的a waste of money也没有提到，文中说的是government-funded。C项的stopped没有在第一段提到，文中说的是more can be done…。故选D。
【13题详解】
词义猜测题。根据画线句前后的句子：studying data that have already been collected to answer new questions和his laboratory studies the Zika virus in primates, and he immediately posts all the results online可知，前面说研究员要利用已有的数据来解决新问题，然后说这个教授自己把研究数据公布在网上，可知C项的言行一致是符合文意的。故选C。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的Still, he is skeptical that data sharing will catch on because it would require a change in “normative behavior”—science’s strong culture of secrecy, in which data are kept under wraps until they are published in a peer-reviewed journal.可知，deep-rooted culture=strong culture, data are kept under wraps until they are published= data should be kept secret until published，即研究数据会保密到出版为止，这种文化根深蒂固了。故选A。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据首段可知这就是文章主题。问题——答案（建议）类的说明文基本上都是问题或者答案是主题。本文的首句说政府重新评估对政府资助的灵长类动物的伦理疏忽，要求更加人道等，第二段说的是如何做到这点。B项的To Treat Primates More Humanely对应第一段，而Transparency对应第二段。A项内容文章涉及很少；C项的abandon错；D项的burden不正确。故选B。
第二节(共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
The word “diary” comes from the Latin word “diarium”, which means “daily allowance”. ____16____And it is used for business notes, planning activities, keeping track of scheduled appointments, or documenting what has already happened. Some doctors suggest that writing in a diary is a good form of self-study.
In America, from the 1940s through the 1980s, a diary was thought of mostly as a way to privately express one’s deepest thoughts while keeping notations about the day. ___17___ Many times, movies would show a teenage girl beginning to write in her diary while she said aloud, “Dear diary”
___18___ A diary kept by a young German Jewish girl by the name of Anne Frank provides us with invaluable lessons about history, for she documented her experiences while she hid from the Nazis during their occupation of the Netherlands in World War II. Her diary became one of the world’s most widely read books and is the basis for many films.
Samuel Pepys, who lived during the 17th century, is the earliest diary keeper that is famous today. His diary is also an important documentation of history, for it gives personal insight （洞察力） into London’s Great Plague and the Great Fire. His diary is being published on the Internet, and it’s interesting to note that there has been a new entry every day since January of 2003. It will continue over the course of several years to come. ___19___
Today’s electronic version of the diary, the web log or “blog” has once again stretched the diary to be much more than a personal account of the day’s events. There are blogs to document recipes, traveling, movies, independent news, product announcements, photos, and anything else that needs to be recorded over time. Search engines like Technorati. com have been created to keep track of the more than 112 million blogs that are currently public.___20___
A. It refers to a book for writings by date.
B. In its newest form, the diary has become more popular than ever.
C. Reading his diary is fascinating, and it makes his life all the more real to us.
D. People love to write diaries, so whenever they are free, they will write a few lines.
E. Those private reflections may have historical significance long after the author’s death.
F. Nowadays, the blog has taken the place of the diary and becomes more and more popular.
G. In those times, and even continuing on today, writing in a diary was like writing to a special friend.
【答案】16. A 17. G 18. E 19. C 20. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了日记的起源、用途及其演变过程。
【详解】1. 从上句“The word “diary” comes from the Latin word “diarium”, which means “daily allowance”.”（“diary”这个词来自拉丁语“ diarium”，意思是“每日津贴”。）可以看出这里是解释“diary”一词的来源，那么下一句应该是给“diary”下的定义，选项A.“它指的是一本按日期写的书。”讲述了这个词的定义，符合题意。故选A。
2. 根据前一句“In America, from the 1940s through the 1980s, a diary was thought of mostly as a way to privately express one’s deepest thoughts while keeping notations about the day.”（在美国，从20世纪40年代到80年代，日记被认为是作为一种方式来私下表达一个人内心深处的想法同时保留关于这一天的记录），G项“在那个时代，甚至在今天，写日记就像是给一个特别的朋友写信。”中In those times对应前一句中的from the 1940s through the 1980s，故选G。
3. 根据下文“A diary kept by a young German Jewish girl by the name of Anne Frank provides us with invaluable lessons about history, for she documented her experiences while she hid from the Nazis during their occupation of the Netherlands in World War II. Her diary became one of the world’s most widely read books and is the basis for many films.”（一个名叫安妮·弗兰克的年轻德国犹太女孩的日记为我们提供了宝贵的历史教训，因为她记录了她在二战期间躲避纳粹占领荷兰期间的经历。她的日记成为世界上最广泛阅读的书籍之一，也是许多电影的基础。）可知，讲述了德国犹太女孩安妮·弗兰克的日记，她的日记成为了世界上最广泛阅读的书籍之一，也是很多部电影的基础。作为例子讲述了保留下来的个人的日记的历史意义，可知空处的内容应为“在作者死后，那些私人的思考可能具有历史意义。”选项E.“这些个人的反思可能在作者死后很久仍具有历史意义。”切题，故选E。
4. 根据前文“Samuel Pepys, who lived during the 17th century, is the earliest diary keeper that is famous today. His diary is also an important documentation of history, for it gives personal insight （洞察力） into London’s Great Plague and the Great Fire. His diary is being published on the Internet, and it’s interesting to note that there has been a new entry every day since January of 2003. It will continue over the course of several years to come. ”（塞缪尔·佩皮斯，生活在17世纪，在今天是著名的，也是最早的日记记录者。他的日记也是一个重要的历史记录，因为它提供了个人对于伦敦的大瘟疫和大火的见解。他的日记正在互联网上发表，有趣的是，自2003年1月以来，每天都有一个新的条目。这将在未来几年持续下去。）本段主要讲述生活在十七世纪Samuel Pepys的日记的也是有历史意义的，因此可以推断阅读他的日记可以帮助我们可以更好地了解他的生活，选项C.“阅读他的日记是很有趣的，这使得他的生活对我们来说更加真实。”承接前文，符合题意。故选C。
5. 根据前文“Today’s electronic version of the diary, the web log or “blog” has once again stretched the diary to be much more than a personal account of the day’s events.

47. 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。
On the first day of fourth grade, my teacher, Mrs. Brown, told my class a story about her husband Rob, who is a brain cancer survivor. She became emotional as she talked about their journey through his treatment and recovery. After what Mrs. Brown experienced with Rob’s illness, she decided to devote part of her life to helping people in similar situations. She told us about a local organization she was a part of called Be Head Strong, which works to support and comfort families with a member suffering from brain cancer.
Mrs. Brown never showed any sadness about the disease. She instead spoke only with words of determination to find a cure. Through her positive spirit she showed us how strong hope could be.
My parents taught me form a very young age that making wise choices with my money is important. I would always set aside most of my $2.50-a-week allowance. By the end of the school year, I had saved over one hundred dollars, $131.30 to be exact. One day I was wondering what to do with it. I thought about the stories Mrs. Brown told us. I decided that was where I wanted my money to go.
As the last day of school approached, I told my parents about my gift for Mrs. Brown. My mom helped me wrap the heart-shaped box full of dollars and coins. After all the other kids had left on the last day of school, I handed Mrs. Brown the present. As she opened it, I told her that I wanted the money to go to Be Head Strong to help people like Rob. She broke into tears and hugged me tightly. At last, she invited me to Be Head Strong’s annual fundraiser and auction.

At the end of the night’s auction, people were asked to donate what they could.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Para. 1:
The night’s theme was hope and giving and many stories were shared. One of the most inspirational ones was of a young girl named Hannah. She was a six-year-old girl who had suffered from serious brain cancer. I remembered her from the stories Mrs. Brown shared. Mrs. Brown had explained to us that Hannah s cancer was strong, but Hannah always had a positive and happy attitude. I understood then that it was people like Hannah who aroused the hope that fueled organizations like Be Head Strong.
Para. 2:
At the end of the night’s auction, people were asked to donate what they could. I was called on stage. The auctioneer told everyone the story of my gift to Mrs. Brown, the $131.30. At the end he asked, How many of you are willing to do what a fourth grader did and donate $ 131.30? At that point nearly everyone in the room raised their bidding numbers. At that moment I realized that months of allowance had become something bigger than that.
