If you're looking to fully experience Africa's breathtaking scenery, and have an eye for adventure, then there's only one place to be. Here, inside Africa picks four of the best hikes from across the continent.
1.Kilimanjaro
Make it to the top of Tanzania's 5,895-meter Kilimanjaro, and you'll be standing at Africa's highest point. The mountain is Africa's most-visited hiking destination, attracting tens of thousands of tourists and adventures every year.

2.Atlas mountains
The High Atlas is an impressive mountainous range in central Morocco that hosts North Africa's highest peak. Mount Toubkal, at 4,165 meters. There's a variety of routes to follow during your climb but inexperienced climbers should note that the hike through the mountain's challenging zones is quite demanding.
3.Mount Kenya
A long-extinct volcano. Mount Kenya is Africa's second-highest peak, at 5,199 meters.
Lying just south of the equator, the mountain's deep valleys and diverse wildlife will guarantee you wonderful scenery and a fantastic hiking experience.
The climb however, to the mountain's steep ice-capped peaks is quite challenging, making it the most technical, probably, in that East African area.
4.Mount Meru
Mount Meru may forever exist in the shadow of its neighbor, Kilimanjaro, but Tanzania's second-highest mountain (4,565 meters) has its own devotees.
It's less known, but Mount Meru is for the true enthusiast who wants to experience what very few people actually do.
Mount Meru is often used by mountaineers to accustom themselves before trying to conquer Kilimanjaro, or by those wanting a hike with the local Massai.

Lebanese filmmaker Nadine Labaki has become the first female artist in the Arab world to be nominated (提名)for an Academy Award ,or Oscar.
Labaki directed the film Capernaum ,a film about a Syrian refugee (难民)boy and a Kenyan baby who live without parents on the streets of Beirut. It was nominated for best foreign language film.
Labaki wil1 be one of the few female directors to compete for an Oscar this year. She told the Associated press "I wish there were a lot more women filmmakers this year represented, nominated in the Oscars. But I am sure in a few years we won't be having this problem anymore."
Unlike in the West, women filmmakers are industry leaders in Lebanon.
Capernaum received a 15-minute standing ovation (热烈欢迎)at this year's Cannes Film Festival. It won the Jury Prize—the third-highest award given at Cannes.
The United Nations has publicly praised the film. Lebanon's Foreign Minister said.
Capernaum put a Lebanese touch on the international film industry.
The Oscar nomination of Capernaum is the second for Lebanon in two years in the film group. It demonstrates the country's rising star power.
Labaki called making the movie a life-changing experience. She said Capernaum helps humanize the real struggles of refugees only briefly talked about in the news.
We can't help but acknowledge that there is a fear of refugees in general around the world and there are these walls we are building, and this fear that keeps growing," Labaki said.
Capernaum will compete against four other films for the Oscar, including awards season favorite Roma. Directed by Mexico's Alfonso Cuaron, it earned 10 Oscar nominations, including for best picture.
4. Where does Labaki come from?
A. Syria. B. Kenya
C. Lebanon. D. Mexico.
5. What do we know from Labaki's words in Paragraph 3?
A. Few women directors have been nominated in the Oscars.
B. She was the first female artist to compete for an Oscar.
C. More women directors will enter for Oscar this year.
D. Female directors have problems with their films.
6. Which of the following best describes Capernaum ?
A. It is the best foreign language film.
B. It shows the rising power of women.
C. It has won the first prize at Cannes.
D. It is highly thought of.
7. What does the underlined 'it' in the last paragraph refer to?

【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“I wish there were a lot more women filmmakers this year represented, nominated in the Oscars. But I am sure in a few years we won't be having this problem anymore.”可知，她希望今年能有更多的女导演被提名奥斯卡奖，并希望今后不再有类似问题。由此可以推断近几年没有几位女性导演被提名奥斯卡奖，故选A。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五、六、七段Capernaum received a 15-minute standing ovation at this year's Cannes Film Festival. It won the Jury Prize—the third-highest award given at Cannes. The United Nations has publicly praised the film. Lebanon's Foreign Minister said. Capernaum put a Lebanese touch on the international film industry.（Capernaum在今年的戛纳电影节上获得了15分钟的起立鼓掌。它获得了评审团奖——戛纳颁发的第三高奖项。联合国公开赞扬了这部电影。黎巴嫩外交部长说。Capernaum使黎巴嫩人接触了国际电影业。）可知，Capernaum这部电影获得了来自各方面的赞美。由此可知，这部电影获得了很高的评价，故选D。
【7题详解】
词义猜测题。根据上文最后一段中的“Capernaum will compete against four other films for the Oscar, including awards season favorite Roma. Directed by Mexico's Alfonso Cuaron”提到了非常受欢迎的电影Roma，然后本句就谈到这部电影是由谁导演，并获得十项提名。由此可知，此处it指代电影Roma，故选C。
C
Being highly successful in any field is pretty rare. It takes a combination of natural talent, luck, determination, and plenty of outside support for someone to make it big in sports, entertainment, or business. But what if competing is all that matters to you, whether you are likely to succeed or not? This was the goal of Michael Eddie the Eagle Edwards, and that he reached that goal was an amazing achievement.
Born in the U.K. in 1963, Michael was an enthusiastic downhill skier whose dream was to compete for Britain in world-class competitions. He would have liked to represent his country in the 1984 Winter Olympics, but there were a large number of downhill competitors, and Edwards didn't qualify. Seeing his chance elsewhere, he switched to ski jumping. Ski jumping didn't cost nearly as much, and there was almost no competition for a place on the Britain team.
But number of hurdles (障碍)could have meant the end of Edwards' dream. He weighed more than most competitors, which put him at a disadvantage. He had no financial support for his training. Poor eyesight meant that he had to wear glasses under his goggles (护目镜)- not a good thing when they steamed up at high altitudes. But he couldn't let any of this discourage him. He saw himself as a true lover of the sport who simply wanted the chance to compete. Winning wasn't the point. Having the opportunity to try was all he cared about. And nothing could stop him from trying.
In the end, Edwards took 55th place in the 1987 World Championships. He then went on to the Calgary Olympics in 1988, where he finished last in both of his events. Many athletes would have been embarrassed by this result, but he is proud of his achievement to this day. His determination to fight against all the odds made him a global hero, and in 2016, the inspiring film Eddie the Eagle was made about his life.
8. What is the purpose of the first paragraph?
A. To add some background information.
B. To uncover the secret of success.
C. To expect an answer from readers.
D. To introduce the topic.
9. Why did Michael Edwards choose ski jumping?
A. It took less skill.
B. The equipment was cheaper.
C. There was little competition.
D. It was easy to win the championship.
10. After the Calgary Olympics, Edwards _________.
A. felt he had reached his goal
B. was embarrassed by his results
C. switched to film making
D. was glad it was over
11. What made Michael Edwards outstanding?
A. His determination to win.
B. His enthusiasm for the sport.
C. His attitude towards the Olympics.
D. His ability to overcome physical disabilities.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. A 11. A
【解析】

【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“ Ski jumping didn't cost nearly as much, and there was almost no competition for a place on the Britain team.”可知迈克尔·爱德华兹选择跳台滑雪是因为跳台滑雪没花那么多钱，在英国队中几乎没有竞争。故选C。
【10题详解】

细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“His determination to fight against all the odds made him a global hero”他战胜一切困难的决心使他成为全球英雄，可知迈克尔·爱德华兹对胜利的决心使他出类拔萃，故选A。
【点睛】细节理解题大多是根据文章中的具体信息如事实、例证、原因、过程、论述等进行提问的。抓住文段中的事实和细节是做好该题型的关键，也是做好其它类型问题的基础。该题型几乎都可以在文章中直接找到与答案有关的信息，或是其变体。在一篇短文里大部分篇幅都属于这类围绕主体展开的细节。做这类题一般采用寻读法，即先读题，然后带着问题快速阅读短文，找出与问题和选项有关的词语或句子，再对相关部分进行分析对比，找出答案。正确选项虽然一般不是原文照搬，但是一般是原文的改写，意思不变。如换一个同义词，把否定改为肯定，把肯定改为否定等。如第二小题，根据第二段中的“ Ski jumping didn't cost nearly as much, and there was almost no competition for a place on the Britain team.”可知迈克尔·爱德华兹选择跳台滑雪是因为跳台滑雪没花那么多钱，在英国队中几乎没有竞争。故选C。

The world's first hydrogen-powered trains have begun running in Germany. They began carrying passengers Monday in Germany's northern Lower Saxony state. The new train will run 100-kilometer trips and can travel up to 140 kilometers an hour.
A French railroad company called Alstom built the two trains. Team in Germany and France cooperated on the project, which was supported by the German government. The new train model ,called the Coradia ilint, signals the beginning of efforts in Germany and other nations to move away from pollution-producing diesel(柴油) trains.
The Coradia iLint is designed to run on non-electrified train lines with low levels of noise.
It uses a process that combines hydrogen and oxygen to produce electrical power. If the system produces more energy than the train needs at that time, it can store the extra energy in batteries. The only emissions (排放物) are water and steam.
A single tank of hydrogen can run a Coradia iLint train for about 1,000 kilometers. This is very similar to the distance a diesel-powered train can run on with a single tank.
Hydrogen-powered trains cost more than diesel trains to build. But Alstom officials say the operating costs are much lower. The company plans to provide another 14 Coradia iLint trains to Lower Saxony by 2021.
The head of railroad operations in the area, Carmen Schwab, praised replacing diesel trains with hydrogen. She said the move was an important first step in using clean-burning technologies to reach climate protection goals.
Officials say the area's many wind turbines (涡轮机)will produce part of the energy to create the hydrogen to power the trains.
Alstom says several other European countries have also expressed interest in developing hydrogen train systems France has already said it wants its first hydrogen train to be operating by 2022.
12. Why did Germany build the new trains?
A. To replace diesel trains.
B. To carry more passengers.
C. To make traveling much easier.
D. To develop friendship with France.
13. What is one advantage of the Coradia iLint?
A. It runs without making any noise.
B. It doesn't use electrical power.
C. It costs much less to run.
D. It is cheaper to make it.
14. It can be concluded that hydrogen trains________.
A. are widely used
B. are environmentally friendly
C. can stop air pollution
D. can produce water and oxygen
15. What might be the best title for the text?
A. Saving Natural Resources
B. Efforts to Reduce Emissions
C. World's First Hydrogen Trains
D. A New Way to Make Electricity
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. B 15. C

阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Monkeys do not like it when others get more food ____41____ they do, according to a new study.
Researchers from Yale and Harvard universities found Capuchin monkeys punish monkeys ____42____ get more food. "This sort of, 'If I can't have it, no one can' response is because ____43____ psychological spite (怨恨), and it was____44____ (previous) thought unique to humans," said Kristin Leimgruber of Harvard University. She is a co-author of the research study. The researchers watched as some Capuchin monkeys ____45____ (give) more food than others. They found that monkeys getting the ____46____ (small) share pulled a rope to fold up a table holding the other monkey's bigger share.
Another lead researcher, Laurie Santas, ____47____ (explain) over email, "I think what we can conclude about humans is that some of our more embarrassing tendencies have relatively deep ____48____ (root)." Santos said the spiteful response was not present with another member of the ape species—chimpanzees(黑猩猩).
An earlier study, she said, showed chimpanzees would fold up the table of other chimpanzees ____49____ (steal) food from them. But they would not punish chimpanzees who just happened ____50____ (have) more food, Santos said. In other words, it was fine if another chimpanzee had more food as long as they did not steal it.
【答案】41. than
42. that / which/ who
43. of 44. previously
45. were given
46. smaller
47. explained
48. roots 49. stealing
50. to have
【解析】
【分析】
本文是一篇说明文，介绍了猴子和猩猩与人类之间的相似之处。它们会和人类一样有嫉妒心，当另外的一只猴子得到更多的食物时，它就会生气嫉妒；当别的猴子抢了或者偷了别人的东西，那只猴子就会暴跳如雷。
【41题详解】
考查连词。句意：根据一项新的研究，猴子不喜欢别的猴子得到的食物比他们多。根据比较级more，可知填than。
【42题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：耶鲁大学和哈佛大学的研究人员发现卷尾猴惩罚获得食物多的猴子。本句为定语从句修饰先行词monkeys，且先行词在从句中作主语，monkey既可以用来表示指人，用关系代词who，也可以表示指动物，填关系代词that/which。故填关系代词that / which/ who。
【43题详解】
考查固定短语。句意：这种，如果我不能拥有，别人也不能的反应是因为心理嫉恨。because of固定短语，“因为”，故填of。
【44题详解】
考查副词。句意：这一点，在以前被认为是人类所独有的。副词修饰谓语动词作状语，故填previously。
【45题详解】
考查时态语态。句意：当一些卷尾猴被给予比其他卷尾猴更多食物时，研究人员做了观察。根据主句的谓语动词watched 可知宾语从句的谓语动词用过去时，结合句意可知用被动语态，故填were given。
【46题详解】
考查形容词。句意：他们发现得到较小份额食物的猴子将会用一根绳子拽翻放着其他猴子的较大份额食物的桌子。根据下文中的bigger，可知此处用比较级，故填smaller。
【47题详解】
考查时态。句意：另一位首席研究员，Laurie Santas通过电子邮件来解释这一现象。事情已经发生，用一般过去时，故填explained。
【48题详解】
考查名词，句意：我认为我们可以得出关于人类的结论，我们的一些比较尴尬的倾向拥有相对深厚的根基。root是可数名词，此处用复数形式作宾语，故填roots 。
【49题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：她说早先的研究中表明黑猩猩会破坏其他偷走它们食物的黑猩猩的桌子。此处现在分词作定语，与逻辑主语构成主动关系，故填stealing。
【50题详解】
考查固定短语。句意：但是它们不会惩罚那些恰巧比它们拥有更多食物的黑猩猩。happen to do固定短语，“碰巧做.....”，故填to have。
【点睛】定语从句的关系词的选择可考虑以下三点：
(1)一看先行词的意义，即分清先行词是指人、指物、时间、地点还是原因(如指物时不能用who或whom，指人时通常不用which等)
(2)二看关系词的句法功能，即分清关系词是担任什么句子成分，是作主语还是宾语、是作定语还是状语等(如作定语通常用whose，有时也用which；作状语要用when, where, why)
(3)三看定语从句的种类，即分清是限制性定语从句还是非限制性定语从句(如that和why通常不引导非限制性定语从句)
如第二小题，本句为定语从句修饰先行词monkeys，且先行词在从句中作主语，monkey既可以用来表示指人，用关系代词who，也可以表示指动物，故填关系代词that / which/ who。

I’m Li Hua, one of your students in China. It’s almost a month since you left us. We all miss you and are very grateful for what you did for us when we were together.
We are busy as usual. We had an English speech contest the other day. I won the first prize! This reminds me of all your kind help again. Do you still remember the trees we planted together on the hill behind the school? Yesterday we went there and watered them. The tree you planted yourself is growing well, and the whole class decided to name it Sue Wood. Will you come back to see Sue Wood?
How is everything with you lately? We hope to know more about you and your American students. I sincerely express my thanks to your help again and hope to keep in close touch.
Best wishes for you!

第二节：读后续写
52.阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
Three boys and three girls were going to the beach. When they boarded the bus, they were carrying sandwiches and wine, dreaming of golden beaches. Suddenly, they noticed Vingo. He sat in front of them, eyes fixed upon a photo, completely in silence.
Deep into the night, the bus pulled into Howard Johnson’s, a service area, and everybody got off except Vingo. The young people began to wonder about him. When they came back, one of the girls sat beside him and introduced herself. “Want some wine?” she said. He smiled and took a swig from the bottle. He thanked her and became silent again.
The next morning, they awoke outside another Howard Johnson’s, and this time Vingo went in. The girl insisted that he join them. He ordered black coffee and some cookies. When they returned, the girl sat with Vingo again. After a while, slowly and painfully, he began his story. He had been in prison for the past four years, and now he was going home.
“Are you married?”
“I don’t know.”
“You don’t know?” she said.
“Well, when I was in prison I wrote to my wife,” he said, “I told her that I was going to be away for a long time, and that if she couldn’t stand it, if the kids kept asking questions, and if it hurt her too much, she could just forget me. I’d understand. ‘Get a new guy.’ I said. She’s a wonderful woman. I told her she didn’t have to write me. And she didn’t. Not for three and a half years.”
“And you’re going home now, not knowing?”
“Yeah. Well, last week, when I was sure the parole (假释) was coming through, I wrote her again. We used to live in Brunswick, and there’s a big oak (橡树) tree just as you come into town. I told her that if she didn’t have a new man and if she’d take me back, she should put a yellow handkerchief on the tree, and I’d get off and come home．If she didn’t want me, forget it — no handkerchief and I’d go on through.”
“Wow,” the girl exclaimed, “wow.”
She told the others, and soon all of them were in it.

2．至少使用5个短文中标有下划线的关键词语；
3．续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好；
4．续写完成后，请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。
Paragraph 1：
Looking at the photo, the young people found a young woman and three children in it.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2：
Vingo sat there amazed, staring at the oak tree.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1：
Looking at the photo, the young people found a young woman and three children in it. “What a lovely woman and cute kids!” “Yeah, she is a smart woman who can always make our small house warm and comfortable.” Vingo murmured. With Brunswick approaching, Vingo stopped staring at the photo,tightening his face, as if protecting himself against another disappointment. The young people took over window seats, waiting for the coming of the oak tree. Then Brunswick was ten miles, and then five. All the people opened their eyes wide, waiting for a miracle. Suddenly, they all jumped up from their seats, screaming except Vingo.
Paragraph 2：
Vingo sat there amazed, staring at the oak tree. It was covered with yellow handkerchiefs, twenty or thirty of them, maybe hundreds, flying in the wind. The oak tree stood like a banner of welcome, blowing in the wind. All the young people were up out of their seats, shouting, crying, doing small dances or shaking fists in triumph. As the young people remained thrilled, Vingo slowly rose from his seat, holding himself tightly, and made his way to the front of the bus to go home.
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了三个男孩和三个女孩在去度假的车上遇到了充满心事的Vingo。当他们偶然得知Vingo在监狱带了四年，现在正在回家的路上，但是他不知道家人是不是会再接受他时，他们和Vingo一起期待挂有黄手绢的橡树。续写的两段的首句已经给出，同学们按照首句内容，再结合自己的想象，将内容展开即可。
【详解】第1步：分析每个段落的写作内容。
由第二段中的The young people began to wonder about him(这些年轻人对他展开想象)可知，The young people指代这群年轻人，由续写第一段首句Looking at the photo, the young people found a young woman and three children in it.(看着照片，这群年轻人看到一个女人和三个孩子)可知，第一段内容围绕这群年轻人的反应进行论述。
由续写第二段首句Vingo sat there amazed, staring at the oak tree.(Vingo大为吃惊地坐在那里，盯着橡树看)可知，这一段围绕橡树与Vingo的反应描写。并且amazed与上文中的protecting himself against another disappointment(保护自己免受另一次失望)呼应，说明Vingo的家人欢迎他回家。
第2步：确定关键词（组），提炼写作要点。如：make our small house warm and comfortable (让我们的小家温暖舒服)，stopped staring at…(停止看……)，protecting himself against…(保护自己)，take over(占领)，opened their eyes wide(睁大他们的眼睛)，be covered with(覆盖满……), make one’s way to(前往某处)等。
第3步：对写作要点遣词造句，注意主谓一致和时态问题。
第4步： 连句成文，注意使用恰当的连词进行句子之间的衔接与过渡，书写一定要规范清晰，保持整洁美观的卷面是非常重要的。
【点睛】范文内容完整，要点全面，语言规范，语篇连贯，词数适当，上下文意思连贯，符合逻辑关系。作者在范文中使用了较多句式，如：第一段第三句使用了who引导的定语从句；第一段第四句使用了with的独立主格结构；第一段第五、七、八句都使用了现在分词作状语；第二段第五句使用了as引导的时间状语从句。本文还使用了一些高级词汇，如make our small house warm and comfortable，stopped staring at，protecting himself against，take over，opened their eyes wide，be covered with，make one’s way to等。全文中没有中国式英语的句式，显示了很高的驾驭英语的能力。另外，文章思路清晰、层次分明，上下句转换自然，为文章增色添彩。
