Road Trip Apps You Need Before You Leave
Best App for Route Planning
Ever wonder how delivery drivers manage to hit so many different places in a relatively short amount of time It’s because they’re using an app like Road Warrior to plan their routes to be as efficient as possible. However, while many other route planning apps only take things like traffic into account, Road Warrior includes lots of other time-sucking details. The subscription (订购) options start at $10 per month.
Best App for Gas Prices
Gas prices have been something of a catastrophe (灾难) recently, so travelers are naturally focused on finding the lowest rates whenever possible. Gas Buddy is one of the most popular apps for locating affordable gas, especially on long road trips. Simply enter the starting point and destination, and then watch as all of the cheapest gas prices along your route appear suddenly. Like many apps, there is a free version (版本), as well as a premium (额外) option with added features.
Best App for Planning Sightseeing
For people who aren’t totally focused on getting from point A to point B in the fastest time possible, the Road Trippers app is a must-have. Users can plan their trip from start to finish with as many as 150 waypoints/stops when using the premium version of the app, which costs $29.99 per year. It won’t let you miss the famous sights along the way. It estimates fuel costs, allows for RV drivers to customize (定制) routes friendly to their particular vehicle and lets the user cooperate with friends who are also on the road.
Best App for Family Games and Entertainment
Sure you could listen to music or watch movies, but sometimes it’s fun to throw it way back with classic travel games. The Plates Family Travel app is a modernized version of the classic license plate (车牌) game. There’s also a map feature that shows you exactly where you saw all the license plates on your road trip. This app is available for Apple or Google devices for free.

Giorgio Morandi was one of the greatest artists in the history of Italy. He was the eldest of five children born into a middle-class family in Bologna, Italy. His early love of art upset his father, who wanted his son to work with him in his export business. Morandi attempted the business unsuccessfully in 1906.
After that, Morandi entered the Bologna Academy of Fine Arts in 1907. He continued his study with the support of his mother when his father suddenly passed away in 1908, forcing him to support his mother and younger sisters. During that time, he was introduced to Cubism and Futurism, which influenced his early work.
After he graduated from the Bologna Academy of Fine Arts in 1913, Morandi continued his study by traveling around Italy, especially to the Venice Biennale. Those tours would finally prove important, as Morandi seldom traveled overseas after the 1920s, and much of his future exposure (接触) to painters came from published art works. He was especially interested in the work of Impressionists like Claude Monet, as well as following greats such as Georges Seurat and Paul Cezanne. He also traveled within Italy, especially to see galleries and exhibitions, and was far more well-traveled than some historical sources show him to be.
After Morandi finished his traveling, he returned home and lived with his family. For many years, Morandi kept a peaceful daily routine. And he did most of his work in his workshop, a small room in a flat he shared with his mother and sisters.
Life wasn’t easy for him at first, but he quickly established himself as an important modern artist. His skills of color, light and arrangement began to gain notice, shining in the face of current painting in the manner of abstraction (抽象). And he was named “one of the greatest painters living” by Roberto Longhi in 1934.
4. What did Morandi’s father think of his love of art
A. He was against it. B. He showed a great interest.
C. He had mixed feelings about it. D. He was neither for nor against it.
5. Why did Morandi travel around Italy after graduation
A. He needed to make money in this way.
B. He wanted to learn more about painting.
C. He chose to relax after studying for years.
D. He was looking for works of Impressionists.
6. What did Morandi like doing after returning to live with his family
A. Learning different skills. B. Keeping himself very busy.
C. Working quietly in his workshop. D. Thinking for hours in his workshop.
7. What can we learn about Morandi from the last paragraph
A. He was an important modem artist at first.
B. He didn’t like creating works of abstraction.
C. He was good at color light and arrangement.
D. He didn’t become known until after his death.
C
As Aristotle said, no one would choose to live without friends, even if he had all other goods. But have you ever made friends online What exactly is an online friend What’s the difference between an online friendship and an offline one
A person you know only through the Internet (which includes social networking sites like Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest) or email and will seldom, if ever, meet is considered an online friend. Online friendships can develop in places like forums (论坛), gaming sites, blogs, online groups or even from websites that help you meet friends.
An online friendship begins when two people bond with each other, just like an offline relationship. They may share photos, email each other, or chat on the phone finally. The friendship can become a source of support and provide emotional benefits even though the friends will never meet in real life.
Online friendships can be valuable during times when you lack (缺少) friends or have just moved to a new city or country. But in order for a friendship to be truly real, you need to communicate face to face. That isn’t to say that an online friendship can’t hold a special place in your heart or give you the kind of acceptance and support your desire. What it means is that this type of friendship will be very different. In an online friendship, people can hide their true personality. You’ll never see them lose their temper (脾气) or show you how they act when they’re tired or hungry. They have the choice to always show their best selves, always say the right thing and even avoid upsetting you with subjects they bring up during small talk or a deeper conversation.
An online friendship can feel very real. However, since you can hide behind the computer, it isn’t exactly the same as when you have friends you can meet in person.
8. Why does the author raise the questions in Paragraph 1
A. To express his great doubt.
B. To introduce the topic for discussion.
C. To show the importance of online friends.
D. To get readers to care about the Internet.
9. What does Paragraph 2 tell us
A. What an online friend is. B. Different ways of making friends.
C. Different kinds of social networks D. How to make friends on the Internet.
10. What does the underlined word “bond” in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Fight. B. Compare. C. Contact D. Love.
11. How does an online friendship differ from a real-life friendship
A. It can’t become a source of support.
B. It takes more time and effort to keep.
C. It lacks communication with great depth.
D. It can’t tell what a person is really like.
D
The 187-foot-tall Tower of Pisa is famous all over the world mainly because it leans (倾斜). For many years, people believed that the tower’s designer intended it to lean. As it turns out, though, the tower’s lean is an accident caused by poor planning. The Tower of Pisa was constructed (建造) on a riverbed of sand and clay (黏土) that was not strong enough to support a building so tall and heavy.
Construction of the tower began in 1173. Because Pisa experienced several wars, the tower wasn’t completed until 1350. Only a few years after the construction started, people could see that the first three floors of the tower were already leaning. As the next three floors were added, builders purposefully built them with one side higher than the other to try to correct the lean. This resulted in the tower leaning in the opposite direction
Fortunately for the people of Pisa, the long delays (耽搁) during construction gave the structure time to settle and the ground to become compacted (结实的). This mad the foundation (地基) stronger over time, which is the main reason why the tower never fell over. For hundreds of years, the tower was indeed falling. It would lean one more inch about every 20 years. In the end, in 1990, it was closed to the public for fear that a large group of people at the top would weigh enough to make it fall down.
From 1990 to 2001 engineers from around the world helped balance the tower After several unsuccessful attempts at a solution, engineers finally came up with a plan that worked. They slowly removed ground under the high side of the tower. When they had finished, they had returned it to the position it held in about 1838—the tower had been straightened by nearly 16 inches. Except a sudden great disaster, such as a earthquake, engineers believe the tower is safe for another 300 years now.
12. What does the author try to explain about the Tower of Pisa in Paragraph 1
A. Why it leans. B. Why it was built.
C. Why it is famous. D. Why it stopped leaning.
13. What can we learn about the Tower of Pisa
A. It was completed in 1173. B. It began to be built in 1350.
C. It was seen leaning after 1173. D. It was repaired every 20 years.
14. What kept the Tower of Pisa from falling down according to Paragraph 3
A. The special structure. B. The timely protection.
C. The skill of the builders. D. The long time of building.
15. What would be the best title for the text
A. When does the Tower of Pisa lean
B. Is the leaning Tower of Pisa falling
C. When was the leaning Tower of Pisa built
D. How did the leaning Tower of Pisa get its name

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。
Both my parents were good at gardening. Our family of ten depended on the food we grew in our huge vegetable garden. My mother canned (把……装进罐中) much of the produce for winter, and my father sold potatoes and cabbages to the local stores and schools. Our garden was the pride of the neighborhood.
But then, one summer when I was quite young, we had a problem. Someone was stealing our vegetables. My parents were quite surprised. “I don’t get it,” my father said. “If someone wants vegetables from us, all they have to do is ask. If they can’t afford to pay for them, they could just have them.”
Then one of the neighbors tipped us off that a single elderly man who lived a short distance from us was seen selling vegetables in a nearby town. Benny didn’t have a garden, had no regular job and lived in a small, poor house. My parents found out he was taking our vegetables to earn a few extra dollars. And later, they found it was true. My father decided to deal with this situation in his own way.
One day, he told my mother that he’d go to hire (雇用) Benny. My mother was surprised, saying, “We don’t have enough money to hire anyone. Besides, why would we hire the man who’s taking our vegetables ” My father replied that he was going to hire him to guard our garden. My mother was confused and didn’t think it would work.
My father explained, “Here’s what I think. Benny has got himself backed into a corner, and I’m going to give him a way out. I think he can’t refuse me. And he sure can’t take the vegetables that he’s guarding.”
When my father told him about the job, Benny was obviously a bit shocked. But Dad solved it pretty well. “Benny,” he said, “someone, probably some kid, has been taking vegetables out of our garden. I wonder if I could hire you to guard the garden.” Then Dad added that he would also have breakfast with us every day.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；

Thinking for a moment, he gladly nodded and smiled, “All right.”

Dad then began to create a vegetable garden for Benny.

Giorgio Morandi was one of the greatest artists in the history of Italy. He was the eldest of five children born into a middle-class family in Bologna, Italy. His early love of art upset his father, who wanted his son to work with him in his export business. Morandi attempted the business unsuccessfully in 1906.
After that, Morandi entered the Bologna Academy of Fine Arts in 1907. He continued his study with the support of his mother when his father suddenly passed away in 1908, forcing him to support his mother and younger sisters. During that time, he was introduced to Cubism and Futurism, which influenced his early work.
After he graduated from the Bologna Academy of Fine Arts in 1913, Morandi continued his study by traveling around Italy, especially to the Venice Biennale. Those tours would finally prove important, as Morandi seldom traveled overseas after the 1920s, and much of his future exposure (接触) to painters came from published art works. He was especially interested in the work of Impressionists like Claude Monet, as well as following greats such as Georges Seurat and Paul Cezanne. He also traveled within Italy, especially to see galleries and exhibitions, and was far more well-traveled than some historical sources show him to be.
After Morandi finished his traveling, he returned home and lived with his family. For many years, Morandi kept a peaceful daily routine. And he did most of his work in his workshop, a small room in a flat he shared with his mother and sisters.
Life wasn’t easy for him at first, but he quickly established himself as an important modern artist. His skills of color, light and arrangement began to gain notice, shining in the face of current painting in the manner of abstraction (抽象). And he was named “one of the greatest painters living” by Roberto Longhi in 1934.
4. What did Morandi’s father think of his love of art
A. He was against it. B. He showed a great interest.
C. He had mixed feelings about it. D. He was neither for nor against it.
5. Why did Morandi travel around Italy after graduation
A. He needed to make money in this way.
B. He wanted to learn more about painting.
C. He chose to relax after studying for years.
D. He was looking for works of Impressionists.
6. What did Morandi like doing after returning to live with his family
A. Learning different skills. B. Keeping himself very busy.
C. Working quietly in his workshop. D. Thinking for hours in his workshop.
7. What can we learn about Morandi from the last paragraph
A. He was an important modem artist at first.
B. He didn’t like creating works of abstraction.
C. He was good at color, light and arrangement.
D. He didn’t become known until after his death.
【答案】4. A 5. B 6. C 7. C
【解析】

【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的“His early love of art upset his father, who wanted his son to work with him in his export business.(他早年对艺术的热爱让他的父亲很不高兴，他想让儿子和他一起做出口生意)”可推知，Morandi的父亲反对他对艺术的热爱。故选A。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“After he graduated from the Bologna Academy of Fine Arts in 1913, Morandi continued his study by traveling around Italy, especially to the Venice Biennale. Those tours would finally prove important, as Morandi seldom traveled overseas after the 1920s, and much of his future exposure (接触) to painters came from published art works. He was especially interested in the work of Impressionists like Claude Monet, as well as following greats such as Georges Seurat and Paul Cezanne. He also traveled within Italy, especially to see galleries and exhibitions, and was far more well-traveled than some historical sources show him to be.(1913年从博洛尼亚美术学院毕业后，Morandi继续在意大利各地旅行，特别是参加威尼斯双年展。这些旅行最终被证明是重要的，因为Morandi在20世纪20年代之后很少出国旅行，他未来接触画家的大部分机会来自出版的艺术作品。他对像克劳德·莫奈这样的印象派画家的作品特别感兴趣，也对像乔治·修拉和保罗·塞尚这样的伟大画家感兴趣。他也在意大利境内旅行，特别是去看画廊和展览，他的旅行远比一些历史资料显示的要多)”可知，毕业后，Morandi周游了意大利，因为他想学习更多的绘画知识。故选B。

As Aristotle said, no one would choose to live without friends, even if he had all other goods. But have you ever made friends online What exactly is an online friend What’s the difference between an online friendship and an offline one
A person you know only through the Internet (which includes social networking sites like Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest) or email and will seldom, if ever, meet is considered an online friend. Online friendships can develop in places like forums (论坛), gaming sites, blogs, online groups or even from websites that help you meet friends.
An online friendship begins when two people bond with each other, just like an offline relationship. They may share photos, email each other, or chat on the phone finally. The friendship can become a source of support and provide emotional benefits even though the friends will never meet in real life.
Online friendships can be valuable during times when you lack (缺少) friends or have just moved to a new city or country. But in order for a friendship to be truly real, you need to communicate face to face. That isn’t to say that an online friendship can’t hold a special place in your heart or give you the kind of acceptance and support your desire. What it means is that this type of friendship will be very different. In an online friendship, people can hide their true personality. You’ll never see them lose their temper (脾气) or show you how they act when they’re tired or hungry. They have the choice to always show their best selves, always say the right thing and even avoid upsetting you with subjects they bring up during small talk or a deeper conversation.
An online friendship can feel very real. However, since you can hide behind the computer, it isn’t exactly the same as when you have friends you can meet in person.
8. Why does the author raise the questions in Paragraph 1
A. To express his great doubt.
B. To introduce the topic for discussion.
C. To show the importance of online friends.
D. To get readers to care about the Internet.
9. What does Paragraph 2 tell us
A. What an online friend is. B. Different ways of making friends.
C. Different kinds of social networks D. How to make friends on the Internet.
10. What does the underlined word “bond” in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Fight. B. Compare. C. Contact D. Love.
11. How does an online friendship differ from a real-life friendship
A. It can’t become a source of support.
B. It takes more time and effort to keep.
C. It lacks communication with great depth.
D. It can’t tell what a person is really like.

【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了网友的定义、网络友情的意义及存在的问题等。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“As Aristotle said, no one would choose to live without friends, even if he had all other goods. But have you ever made friends online What exactly is an online friend What’s the difference between an online friendship and an offline one (正如亚里士多德所说，没有人会选择没有朋友的生活，即使他拥有所有其他的东西。但是你在网上交过朋友吗？什么是网友？线上友谊和线下友谊有什么区别？)”可知，第一段先引用亚里士多德的话来说明友谊的重要性，并提出了一些问题，接下来的段落介绍了网友的定义及意义等。由此可推知，作者在第一段提出这些问题是为了引出本文要讨论的话题。故选B。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“A person you know only through the Internet (which includes social networking sites like Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest) or email and will seldom, if ever, meet is considered an online friend. (你只通过互联网——包括Facebook、Instagram和Pinterest等社交网站——或电子邮件认识的人，如果很少见面，就会被视为网友。)”可知，本段告诉了我们网友的定义。故选A。
【10题详解】
词义猜测题。画线部分后一句的“They may share photos, email each other, or chat on the phone finally.(他们可能会分享照片，互相发送电子邮件，或者最后通过电话聊天。)”是对上一句的解释说明，解释了具体的交流方式。由此可推知，画线词所在的句子意为“网上友谊始于两个人彼此建立联系，就像线下关系一样”，bond意为“培养特殊关系”，与contact(联系)意思最接近。故选C。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“In an online friendship, people can hide their true personality. You’ll never see them lose their temper (脾气) or show you how they act when they’re tired or hungry. They have the choice to always show their best selves, always say the right thing and even avoid upsetting you with subjects they bring up during small talk or a deeper conversation.(在网络友谊中，人们可以隐藏自己的真实个性。你永远不会看到他们发脾气，也不会向你展示他们在疲惫或饥饿时的行为。他们可以选择总是展示最好的自己，总是说正确的话，甚至避免在闲聊或更深入的对话中提到的话题让你感到不安。)”可推知，网络友谊有别于真实生活中的友谊，因为网络友谊具有片面性和欺骗性，不能完全展示对方的真实面目。故选D。

The 187-foot-tall Tower of Pisa is famous all over the world mainly because it leans (倾斜). For many years, people believed that the tower’s designer intended it to lean. As it turns out, though, the tower’s lean is an accident caused by poor planning. The Tower of Pisa was constructed (建造) on a riverbed of sand and clay (黏土) that was not strong enough to support a building so tall and heavy.
Construction of the tower began in 1173. Because Pisa experienced several wars, the tower wasn’t completed until 1350. Only a few years after the construction started, people could see that the first three floors of the tower were already leaning. As the next three floors were added, builders purposefully built them with one side higher than the other to try to correct the lean. This resulted in the tower leaning in the opposite direction
Fortunately for the people of Pisa, the long delays (耽搁) during construction gave the structure time to settle and the ground to become compacted (结实的). This mad the foundation (地基) stronger over time, which is the main reason why the tower never fell over. For hundreds of years, the tower was indeed falling. It would lean one more inch about every 20 years. In the end, in 1990, it was closed to the public for fear that a large group of people at the top would weigh enough to make it fall down.
From 1990 to 2001, engineers from around the world helped balance the tower After several unsuccessful attempts at a solution, engineers finally came up with a plan that worked. They slowly removed ground under the high side of the tower. When they had finished, they had returned it to the position it held in about 1838—the tower had been straightened by nearly 16 inches. Except a sudden great disaster, such as a earthquake, engineers believe the tower is safe for another 300 years now.
12. What does the author try to explain about the Tower of Pisa in Paragraph 1
A. Why it leans. B. Why it was built.
C. Why it is famous. D. Why it stopped leaning.
13. What can we learn about the Tower of Pisa
A. It was completed in 1173. B. It began to be built in 1350.
C. It was seen leaning after 1173. D. It was repaired every 20 years.
14. What kept the Tower of Pisa from falling down according to Paragraph 3
A. The special structure. B. The timely protection.
C. The skill of the builders. D. The long time of building.
15. What would be the best title for the text
A. When does the Tower of Pisa lean
B. Is the leaning Tower of Pisa falling
C. When was the leaning Tower of Pisa built
D. How did the leaning Tower of Pisa get its name
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. D 15. B

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。比萨斜塔因为塔身倾斜而世界闻名。它为什么会成为今天这个样子？人们做了什么使得它能够保持倾斜而不倒下？本文对这些问题进行了简单的说明。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“As it turns out, though, the tower’s lean is an accident caused by poor planning. The Tower of Pisa was constructed (建造) on a riverbed of sand and clay (黏土) that was not strong enough to support a building so tall and heavy.”（然而，事实证明，这座塔的倾斜是由于规划不当造成的意外。比萨斜塔是建在沙土河床上的，河床不够坚固，支撑不了这么高这么重的建筑。）可推知，在第一段中，作者试图解释比萨斜塔为什么会倾斜——地基不够牢固，无法支撑那么高的建筑。故选A项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Construction of the tower began in 1173. Because Pisa experienced several wars, the tower wasn’t completed until 1350. Only a few years after the construction started, people could see that the first three floors of the tower were already leaning.”（这座塔始建于1173年。由于比萨经历了几次战争，这座塔直到1350年才完工。在开始建设的几年后，人们可以看到塔的前三层已经倾斜了。）可知，比萨斜塔在1173年建造开始后的头几年里就被发现有倾斜的迹象。故选C项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Fortunately for the people of Pisa, the long delays (耽搁) during construction gave the structure time to settle and the ground to become compacted (结实的). This mad the foundation (地基) stronger over time, which is the main reason why the tower never fell over.”（对比萨人来说幸运的是，施工过程中的长时间延误使结构有时间稳定下来，地面也变得密实。随着时间的推移，这使得基础更加坚固，这就是塔从未倒塌的主要原因。）可知，比萨斜塔之所以在这种情况下屹然不倒是因为它的建造时间较长，使得地基夯实得较为坚固。故选D项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及第一段“The 187-foot-tall Tower of Pisa is famous all over the world mainly because it leans (倾斜). For many years, people believed that the tower’s designer intended it to lean. As it turns out, though, the tower’s lean is an accident caused by poor planning. The Tower of Pisa was constructed (建造) on a riverbed of sand and clay (黏土) that was not strong enough to support a building so tall and heavy.”（187英尺高的比萨斜塔因其倾斜而闻名于世。多年来，人们认为这座塔的设计者有意让它倾斜。然而，事实证明，这座塔的倾斜是由于规划不当造成的意外。比萨斜塔是建在沙土河床上的，河床不够坚固，支撑不了这么高这么重的建筑。）综合分析文章可知，本文主要围绕着比萨斜塔为什么会倾斜以及人们怎么确保它不会倒下而进行说明的。故B项Is the leaning Tower of Pisa falling “比萨斜塔要倒了吗？”作文章标题最合适。故选B项。

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。
Both my parents were good at gardening. Our family of ten depended on the food we grew in our huge vegetable garden. My mother canned (把……装进罐中) much of the produce for winter, and my father sold potatoes and cabbages to the local stores and schools. Our garden was the pride of the neighborhood.
But then, one summer when I was quite young, we had a problem. Someone was stealing our vegetables. My parents were quite surprised. “I don’t get it,” my father said. “If someone wants vegetables from us, all they have to do is ask. If they can’t afford to pay for them, they could just have them.”
Then one of the neighbors tipped us off that a single elderly man who lived a short distance from us was seen selling vegetables in a nearby town. Benny didn’t have a garden, had no regular job and lived in a small, poor house. My parents found out he was taking our vegetables to earn a few extra dollars. And later, they found it was true. My father decided to deal with this situation in his own way.
One day, he told my mother that he’d go to hire (雇用) Benny. My mother was surprised, saying, “We don’t have enough money to hire anyone. Besides, why would we hire the man who’s taking our vegetables ” My father replied that he was going to hire him to guard our garden. My mother was confused and didn’t think it would work.
My father explained, “Here’s what I think. Benny has got himself backed into a corner, and I’m going to give him a way out. I think he can’t refuse me. And he sure can’t take the vegetables that he’s guarding.”
When my father told him about the job, Benny was obviously a bit shocked. But Dad solved it pretty well. “Benny,” he said, “someone, probably some kid, has been taking vegetables out of our garden. I wonder if I could hire you to guard the garden.” Then Dad added that he would also have breakfast with us every day.

Dad then began to create a vegetable garden for Benny.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Thinking for a moment, he gladly nodded and smiled. “All right.” Whether Benny slept most of the night wasn’t important. After that day, we didn’t miss vegetables anymore. And each morning, after breakfast, Benny followed us around in the garden and gradually fell in love with gardening. He’d ask questions like: “Why do you plant these carrots here Why are peas here growing faster than those over there ” My parents patiently answered. One day, Dad suggested helping him create a vegetable garden, which made him glad and grateful.
Dad then began to create a vegetable garden for Benny. By the following spring, he had his garden spot, which was ready for planting. Then, my parents gave him various seeds and he began his gardening. One day when passing by, we found the vegetables in his garden were growing very well. And he was so busy tending them that he didn’t have time to guard our garden anymore. I was proud of the new gardener and proud of my remarkable father.
