Fifteen years ago, Claybourne Elder was a twenty something from Utah, standing in the back of a Broadway theater watching “Putnam County Spelling Bee”, when an act of kindness opened a door to new possibilities.
“This man came up to me and said, ‘Hey, are you from out of town ’ And I said, ‘Yeah, I’m just here visiting.’ And the man handed me $200 and said, ‘You looked like you were having more fun than the people in the expensive seats. Go buy yourself a ticket to ‘Sweeney Todd’ tomorrow. It’ll change your life’,” Elder said. Elder never got the man’s name—just $200 and a photo.
Elder had never seen “Sweeney Todd”, so he bought “a great seat”. Starring in that production was the legendary Patti LuPone. “That did not seem real. Patti LuPone...she seemed like a person you read about in a book or heard about somewhere, but not someone you saw perform,” Elder said.
He then tried his best to earn a place on the stage. LuPone is now his co-star in the hit musical “Company”—a turning point of fate(命运) that goes back to the stranger who gave him the means to watch one of Broadway’s biggest productions. “It takes that kind of generosity to show you what generosity can be, to turn around and do it again,” Elder said.
Giving back is now a big part of his life. Once a month, he and his 4-year-old son pay for a stranger’s meal at their local diner. Recently, he has started giving away free tickets to his show through social media.
After every performance, Elder takes a picture with the strangers he buys tickets for and hangs the photos in his dressing room. “I hope that it awakens(唤醒) something in them, just like it did in me,” he said. “What I hope happens is that these people are shown some sort of sincere kindness from a stranger and hopefully in turn go out and do something kind for somebody who they don’t know.”
24. How did Elder feel when he saw Patti LuPoneper form
A. Moved and grateful. B. Inspired but worried.
C. Curious but doubtful. D. Surprised and excited.
25. What did Elder do after seeing “Sweeney Todd”
A. He learned from Patti LuPone.
B. He tried to contact the stranger.
C. He trained hard to become an actor.
D. He created “Company” with Patti LuPone.
26. Why does Elder give free tickets to those strangers
A. To get personal popularity. B. To take photos with them.
C. To inspire them to do good. D. To help them know more about his show.
27. What would be the best title for the text
A. An Act of Kindness Goes Far B. Hard Work Always Pays off
C. Luck Falls in an Unexpected Way D. A Good Play Can Change Your Life
【答案】24. D 25. C 26. C 27. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了15年前一位陌生人的善举彻底改变了Claybourne Elder的人生。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“That did not seem real. Patti LuPone...she seemed like a person you read about in a book or heard about somewhere, but not someone you saw perform (这似乎不是真的。Patti LuPone……她看起来像是你在书中读到的或在某个地方听说的人，但不是你看到表演的人，)”可知，Patti LuPone是一位颇具传奇色彩的演员，当Elder看到她后既惊讶又兴奋。故选D。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Fifteen years ago, Claybourne Elder was a twenty something from Utah, standing in the back of a Broadway theater watching “Putnam County Spelling Bee”, when an act of kindness opened a door to new possibilities.(15年前，来自犹他州的20多岁的克莱伯恩·埃尔德站在百老汇剧院的后排观看“普特南县拼写比赛”，这时一件善举打开了一扇通往新可能性的大门。)”以及第四段中的“He then tried his best to earn a place on the stage. LuPone is now his co-star in the hit musical “Company”—a turning point of fate(命运) that goes back to the stranger who gave him the means to watch one of Broadway’s biggest productions. (然后，他尽了最大的努力争取在舞台上占有一席之地。卢彭现在是他在热门音乐剧《公司》中的合作演员——命运的转折点要追溯到一个陌生人，他给了他观看百老汇最盛大演出之一的机会。)”可知，15年前Elder还是一名默默无闻的青少年，15年后的今天，他可以跟 Patti LuPone同台演出。由此推知，他这些年为成为优秀演员付出了很多。故选C。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段““I hope that it awakens something in them, just like it did in me,” he said. “What I hope happens is that these people are shown some sort of sincere kindness from a stranger and hopefully in turn go out and do something kind for somebody who they don’t know. ”(“我希望它能唤醒他们的某些东西，就像它唤醒了我一样，”他说。“我希望发生的是，这些人能从陌生人那里得到一些真诚的善意，希望他们能走出去，为他们不认识的人做点好事。”)”可知，他之所以会给陌生人提供免费的门票，是为了唤醒他们内心的一些东西，激励他们乐意去为陌生人做好事。故选C。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段“What I hope happens is that these people are shown some sort of sincere kindness from a stranger and hopefully in turn go out and do something kind for somebody who they don’t know. (我希望发生的是，这些人从陌生人那里得到了某种真诚的善意，希望他们也能走出去，为他们不认识的人做点好事。)”可知，本文主要讲述15年前一位陌生人的一次善举彻底改变了Claybourne Elder的命运。由此可知，选项A“An Act of Kindness Goes Far(一份善举会走得很远)”适合作本文最佳标题。故选A。

Biscayne is not very far from the lights, noise and excitement of downtown Miami. But it has a very different atmosphere from the big city. Biscayne National Park was established as a national monument in 1968. It became a national park in 1980. That year, its size also increased. The park now covers more than 70, 000 hectares.
If you enjoy water, Biscayne is the park for you. Ninety-five percent of the park is water. Many kinds of animals live in these waters. Some of them are threatened or endangered. You will find the huge, gentle West Indian manatee(海牛)，the less gentle American crocodile，several kinds of sea turtles，and more than 500 species of fish.
Scientists say human history at Biscayne begins more than 10, 000 years ago. However, evidence of the area’s earliest people is mostly underwater now, as water levels have risen over time. Within the last 3, 000 years, people began to settle in the area. Scientists continue to learn about these people by examining the big hills of shells they left behind. The shells contain other waste, too, including early tools and housewares.
European explorers began ariving in the area in the early 1500s. They brought with them diseases like smallpox and measles(天花和麻疹). Over time，these diseases killed huge numbers of natives. Early explorers arrived in the area on ships. The reefs and rough waters made it difficult for ship captains. Biscayne’s waters contain more than 50 shipwrecks. Scuba divers today can explore six of them.
Four ecosystems come together here, which is what makes the park so diverse. The blending ecosystems create “edge communities“. These edge communities support a huge amount of wildlife.
The underwater diversity is what attracts most people to Biscayne National Park. Many visitors come here to scuba dive in Biscayne National Park in 1980.
28. What happened to Biscayne National Park in 1980
A. It covered more than 70, 000 hectares. B. It began to be set up as a national park.
C. It was built as a national monument. D. It became much larger in area.
29. By examining the shells they left behind, scientists can________
A. learn how the earliest people arrived B. learn about the sea animals
C. learn about the life of the earliest people D. know how old the place is
30. What does “edge communities” in Paragraph 5 probably refer to
A. The place where the natives live. B. The place where Europeans first arrived.
C. The place where people like to scuba dive. D. The place where four ecosystems meet.
31. What attracts tourists most to Biscayne National Park
A. Its ecosystems. B. Its long history.
C. Its endangered animals. D. Its underwater activities.
【答案】28. B 29. C 30. D 31. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了比斯坎国家公园的历史发展和它的发展前景。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“It became a national park in 1980. That year, its size also increased. The park now covers more than 70,000 hectares.(它在1980年成为国家公园。那一年，它的规模也增加了。该公园现在占地7万多公顷)”可知，1980年比斯坎国家公园被设立为国家公园。故选B。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Scientists continue to learn about these people by examining the big hills of shells they left behind. The shells contain other waste, too, including early tools and house wares.(科学家们继续通过研究这些人留下的大贝壳山来了解他们。这些贝壳还含有其他废物，包括早期的工具和家用器皿)”可知，通过检查它们留下的贝壳，科学家可以学习了解最早的居民的生活状况。故选C。
【30题详解】
词句猜测题。根据倒数第二段中“Four ecosystems come together here, which is what makes the park so diverse. The blending ecosystems create “edge communities”. These edge communities support a huge amount of wildlife.(四个生态系统在这里汇聚，这是公园如此多样化的原因。混合的生态系统创造了“edge communities”)”可推知，edge communities是四个生态系统交汇的地方。故选D。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“Four ecosystems come together here, which is what makes the park so diverse. The blending ecosystems create ‘edge communities’. These edge communities support a huge amount of wildlife.(四个生态系统在这里汇聚，这是公园如此多样化的原因。混合的生态系统创造了“边缘社区”。这些边缘社区供养着大量的野生动物)”和倒数第一段中“The underwater diversity is what attracts most people to Biscayne National Park.(水下的多样性是吸引大多数人来到比斯坎国家公园的原因)”可推知，比斯坎国家公园最吸引游客的是它多样的生态系统。故选A。
D
The Internet plays a big part in human life. We use it for work and pleasure. We use it to learn a new language. We find advice on it. We use it to connect with family and friends. We use it to stay in touch with events we care about.The list goes on and on.
As far as the Internet being a part of our lives, well, that train has left the station. There is no going back to an Internet-free life. But can using the Internet too much be bad for our health It might be, say researchers. A new study finds that heavy Internet use may be connected to high blood pressure in a young group: teenagers.
The study results show that teens who spend at least 14 hours a week only online may cause high blood pressure, which makes their hearts and blood vessels(血管) work too hard. Over time, this extra pressure increases the risk of a heart attack. High blood pressure can also cause heart and other diseases.
The Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit, Michigan did the study. 335 young people, from 14 to 17 years old, took part in it. 134 of the teens were described as “heavy Internet users”. And researchers found that out of these 134 teens, 26 had high blood pressure. The researchers said the study was the first to connect heavy Web use with high blood pressure.
The lead researcher is Andrea Cassidy-Bushrow. She says, “Using the Internet is part of our daily life, but it shouldn’t ruin(毁坏) us.” Ms. Cassidy-Bushrow adds that it is important for teens to stop to have a rest regular from their computers or smartphones and do some kind of physical activity. She also suggests that parents shouldn’t let their children use the Internet for more than two hours a day, five days a week.
32. What does the underlined part “that train has left the station”mean in Paragraph 2
A. The train has changed its course.
B. Life without the Internet is nowhere to be found.
C. The Internet brings great changes to people’s life.
D. The Internet has improved people’s life.
33. What can we know about the study according to Paragraph 4
A. There was no similar study like it before.
B. Most of the young people had high blood pressure.
C. Adult people aged above 17 took part in the study.
D. Over half of the teens in the study were heavy Internet users.
34. Which of the following would Andrea Cassidy-Bushrow probably agree with
A. That teenagers shouldn’t use the Internet.
B. That the Internet will ruin human life in the future.
C. That smartphones are more harmful than computers.
D. That regular breaks are necessary when using the Internet.
35. What does the text mainly talk about
A. Heavy Internet users are mostly teenagers.
B. Every coin has two sides—so does the Internet.
C. Too much Internet use may be bad for teenagers.
D. How to prevent teenagers from using the Internet.
【答案】32. B 33. A 34. D 35. C
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述互联网在人类生活中扮演着重要的角色，但是过度上网会影响我们的健康，尤其是青少年。
【32题详解】
词句猜测题。根据下文“There is no going back to an Internet-free life.（不可能回归到没有互联网的生活。）”可知是对上文的解释说明， “that train has left the station”本身意思是火车已经离开站点就不能往回开了，由此猜测在本段中意思是生活中找不到没有互联网的地方，故选B。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“The researchers said the study was the first to connect heavy Web use with high blood pressure.（研究人员表示，这项研究首次将过度上网与高血压联系起来。）”说明以前没有过这样的研究，故选A。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Ms. Cassidy-Bushrow adds that it is important for teens to stop to have a rest regular from their computers or smartphones and do some kind of physical activity. She also suggests that parents shouldn’t let their children use the Internet for more than two hours a day, five days a week.（卡西迪-布什罗女士补充说，对青少年来说，有规律地从电脑或智能手机前停下来休息，做一些体育活动是很重要的。她还建议父母不应该让他们的孩子每天上网超过两个小时，一周5天。）”由此可推断卡西迪-布什罗女士建议在使用互联网的时候要有规律的休息，故选D。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“But can using the Internet too much be bad for our health It might be, say researchers. A new study finds that heavy Internet use may be connected to high blood pressure in a young group: teenagers.”（但是过度使用互联网会对我们的健康有害吗 研究人员说，可能是这样。一项新的研究发现，大量使用互联网可能与青少年的高血压有关。）通读全文可知，文章主要讲述互联网在人类生活中扮演着重要的角色，但是过度上网会影响我们的健康，尤其是青少年。建议青少年在使用网络的时候要有规律的休息。C选项“过多的上网可能对青少年不利。”符合文章大意，故选C。

One weekend in July, Jane and her husband, Tom, had driven three hours to camp overnight by a lake in the forest. Unfortunately, on the way an unpleasant subject came up and they started to quarrel. By the time they reached the lake, Jane was so angry that she said to Tom, “I'm going to find a better spot for us to camp” and walked away.
With no path to follow, Jane just walked on for quite a long time. After she had climbed to a high place, she turned around, hoping to see the lake. To her surprise, she saw nothing but forest and, far beyond, a snowcapped mountain top. She suddenly realized that she was lost.
“Tom!” she cried. “Help!”
No reply. If only she had not left her mobile phone in that bag with Tom. Jane kept moving, but the farther she walked, the more confused she became. As night was beginning to fall, Jane was so tired that she had to stop for the night. Lying awake in the dark, Jane wanted very much to be with Tom and her family. She wanted to hold him and tell him how much she loved him.
Jane rose at the break of day, hungry and thirsty. She could hear water trickling (滴落) somewhere at a distance. Quickly she followed the sound to a stream. To her great joy, she also saw some berry bushes. She drank and ate a few berries. Never in her life had she tasted anything better.
Feeling stronger now, Jane began to walk along the stream and hope it would lead her to' the lake.
As she picked her way carefully along the stream, Jane heard a helicopter. Is that for me Unfortunately,the trees made it impossible for people to see her from above. A few minutes later, another helicopter flew overhead. Jane took off her yellow blouse, thinking that she should go to an open area and flag them if they came back again.

【答案】 But no more helicopters came and it was getting dark again. Jane had to stay alone in the forest for another cold night. At that moment, she felt a little sad, but she wasn’t so frightened. She reminded herself constantly, “Tom must have called for those helicopters. Maybe he was in one of them and will return soon! I have to guide him tomorrow.” She fell asleep and dreamed of seeing Tom.
It was daybreak when Jane woke up. She ate some berries and then walked along the stream, hoping to find a suitable place to guide the helicopter. She walked and walked, exhausted but full of hope. Suddenly, she spotted a huge flat rock. She managed to climb onto it and waited with patience. The helicopter appeared again. The nearer it got, the more she waved the yellow blouse. To her great joy, the helicopter didn’t miss Jane this time and it landed near the big rock slowly. Tom jumped off the helicopter and rushed towards Jane. They hugged each other tightly and burst into tears.

Some of the best cycling routes in the world pass through its most beautiful scenery. Here are some of world’s best bike routes for cyclists who either are up for breaking a good sweat or simply seeing the world without leaving an ugly carbon footprint behind.
The Great Windy Road, Victoria, Australia
If you like a challenge, take on this 243-kilometer windy road along Australia’s south-eastern coast. If a day is all you’ve got, take the 60-kilometer route from Torquay to Bells Beach. There you’ll cycle through rural farmland, enjoy the sweeping ocean views from cliff tops, and snake past the wetlands around Lake Connewarre.
Udaipur City Tour, Rajasthan, India
Biking is arguably the best way to explore Udaipur, Venice of the East.
Cyclists often need to cycle past herdsmen and their goats and camels, sharing narrow, old pavements in this romantic place. But surrounded by ancient castles, temples and grand palaces, Udaipur brings about one of the best biking experiences, allowing cyclists to truly discover rural India.
The Karakoram Highway, China-Pakistan
The Karakoram Highway is the highest international road in the world, reaching an altitude of 4,700 meters at the Khunjerab Pass. Starting in Kashgar, China, cyclists can travel up to 1,200 kilometers on mostly unpaved roads, but the views are as breathtaking as the riding.
Route of the Hiawatha, Idaho-Montana, United States
Take your family out to Montana this summer and cycle along the most scenic disused railroad in the country. The railroad turned bike trail turns into 24 kilometers of leisure biking that takes you over seven trestles(高架桥) and through 10 tunnels, with the longest one, the Taft Tunnel, stretching for 2.7 kilometers.
21. In which tour can you enjoy the seaside scenery
A. The Great Windy Road. B. Udaipr City Tour.
C. The Karakoram Highway. D. Route of the Hiawatha.
22. What can you do on the Udaipur city tour
A. Go to Venice. B. Feed wild animals.
C. Visit cultural relics. D. Enjoy modern architectures.
23. What’s special about the Karakoram Highway
A. It is a totally undeveloped route. B. It goes along an abandoned railway.
C. It owns the longest tunnel in the world. D. It lies higher than other international roads.
B
Fifteen years ago, Claybourne Elder was a twenty something from Utah, standing in the back of a Broadway theater watching “Putnam County Spelling Bee”, when an act of kindness opened a door to new possibilities.
“This man came up to me and said, ‘Hey, are you from out of town ’ And I said, ‘Yeah, I’m just here visiting.’ And the man handed me $200 and said, ‘You looked like you were having more fun than the people in the expensive seats. Go buy yourself a ticket to ‘Sweeney Todd’ tomorrow. It’ll change your life’,” Elder said. Elder never got the man’s name—just $200 and a photo.
Elder had never seen “Sweeney Todd”, so he bought “a great seat”. Starring in that production was the legendary Patti LuPone. “That did not seem real. Patti LuPone...she seemed like a person you read about in a book or heard about somewhere, but not someone you saw perform,” Elder said.
He then tried his best to earn a place on the stage. LuPone is now his co-star in the hit musical “Company”—a turning point of fate(命运) that goes back to the stranger who gave him the means to watch one of Broadway’s biggest productions. “It takes that kind of generosity to show you what generosity can be, to turn around and do it again,” Elder said.
Giving back is now a big part of his life. Once a month, he and his 4-year-old son pay for a stranger’s meal at their local diner. Recently, he has started giving away free tickets to his show through social media.
After every performance, Elder takes a picture with the strangers he buys tickets for and hangs the photos in his dressing room. “I hope that it awakens(唤醒) something in them, just like it did in me,” he said. “What I hope happens is that these people are shown some sort of sincere kindness from a stranger and hopefully in turn go out and do something kind for somebody who they don’t know.”
24. How did Elder feel when he saw Patti LuPoneper form
A. Moved and grateful. B. Inspired but worried.
C. Curious but doubtful. D. Surprised and excited.
25. What did Elder do after seeing “Sweeney Todd”

Biscayne is not very far from the lights, noise and excitement of downtown Miami. But it has a very different atmosphere from the big city. Biscayne National Park was established as a national monument in 1968. It became a national park in 1980. That year, its size also increased. The park now covers more than 70, 000 hectares.
If you enjoy water, Biscayne is the park for you. Ninety-five percent of the park is water. Many kinds of animals live in these waters. Some of them are threatened or endangered. You will find the huge, gentle West Indian manatee(海牛)，the less gentle American crocodile，several kinds of sea turtles，and more than 500 species of fish.
Scientists say human history at Biscayne begins more than 10, 000 years ago. However, evidence of the area’s earliest people is mostly underwater now, as water levels have risen over time. Within the last 3, 000 years, people began to settle in the area. Scientists continue to learn about these people by examining the big hills of shells they left behind. The shells contain other waste, too, including early tools and housewares.
European explorers began ariving in the area in the early 1500s. They brought with them diseases like smallpox and measles(天花和麻疹). Over time，these diseases killed huge numbers of natives. Early explorers arrived in the area on ships. The reefs and rough waters made it difficult for ship captains. Biscayne’s waters contain more than 50 shipwrecks. Scuba divers today can explore six of them.
Four ecosystems come together here, which is what makes the park so diverse. The blending ecosystems create “edge communities“. These edge communities support a huge amount of wildlife.
The underwater diversity is what attracts most people to Biscayne National Park. Many visitors come here to scuba dive in Biscayne National Park in 1980.
28. What happened to Biscayne National Park in 1980
A. It covered more than 70, 000 hectares. B. It began to be set up as a national park.

30. What does “edge communities” in Paragraph 5 probably refer to
A. The place where the natives live. B. The place where Europeans first arrived.
C. The place where people like to scuba dive. D. The place where four ecosystems meet.

The Internet plays a big part in human life. We use it for work and pleasure. We use it to learn a new language. We find advice on it. We use it to connect with family and friends. We use it to stay in touch with events we care about.The list goes on and on.
As far as the Internet being a part of our lives, well, that train has left the station. There is no going back to an Internet-free life. But can using the Internet too much be bad for our health It might be, say researchers. A new study finds that heavy Internet use may be connected to high blood pressure in a young group: teenagers.
The study results show that teens who spend at least 14 hours a week only online may cause high blood pressure, which makes their hearts and blood vessels(血管) work too hard. Over time, this extra pressure increases the risk of a heart attack. High blood pressure can also cause heart and other diseases.
The Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit, Michigan did the study. 335 young people, from 14 to 17 years old, took part in it. 134 of the teens were described as “heavy Internet users”. And researchers found that out of these 134 teens, 26 had high blood pressure. The researchers said the study was the first to connect heavy Web use with high blood pressure.
The lead researcher is Andrea Cassidy-Bushrow. She says, “Using the Internet is part of our daily life, but it shouldn’t ruin(毁坏) us.” Ms. Cassidy-Bushrow adds that it is important for teens to stop to have a rest regular from their computers or smartphones and do some kind of physical activity. She also suggests that parents shouldn’t let their children use the Internet for more than two hours a day, five days a week.
32. What does the underlined part “that train has left the station”mean in Paragraph 2
A. The train has changed its course.
B. Life without the Internet is nowhere to be found.
C. The Internet brings great changes to people’s life.
D. The Internet has improved people’s life.
33. What can we know about the study according to Paragraph 4
A. There was no similar study like it before.
B. Most of the young people had high blood pressure.
C. Adult people aged above 17 took part in the study.
D. Over half of the teens in the study were heavy Internet users.
34. Which of the following would Andrea Cassidy-Bushrow probably agree with
A. That teenagers shouldn’t use the Internet.
B. That the Internet will ruin human life in the future.
C. That smartphones are more harmful than computers.
D. That regular breaks are necessary when using the Internet.
35. What does the text mainly talk about
A. Heavy Internet users are mostly teenagers.
B. Every coin has two sides—so does the Internet.
C. Too much Internet use may be bad for teenagers.
D. How to prevent teenagers from using the Internet.

67. 读下面材料，根据其情节和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一个完整的故事。
One weekend in July, Jane and her husband, Tom, had driven three hours to camp overnight by a lake in the forest. Unfortunately, on the way an unpleasant subject came up and they started to quarrel. By the time they reached the lake, Jane was so angry that she said to Tom, “I'm going to find a better spot for us to camp” and walked away.
With no path to follow, Jane just walked on for quite a long time. After she had climbed to a high place, she turned around, hoping to see the lake. To her surprise, she saw nothing but forest and, far beyond, a snowcapped mountain top. She suddenly realized that she was lost.
“Tom!” she cried. “Help!”
No reply. If only she had not left her mobile phone in that bag with Tom. Jane kept moving, but the farther she walked, the more confused she became. As night was beginning to fall, Jane was so tired that she had to stop for the night. Lying awake in the dark, Jane wanted very much to be with Tom and her family. She wanted to hold him and tell him how much she loved him.
Jane rose at the break of day, hungry and thirsty. She could hear water trickling (滴落) somewhere at a distance. Quickly she followed the sound to a stream. To her great joy, she also saw some berry bushes. She drank and ate a few berries. Never in her life had she tasted anything better.
Feeling stronger now, Jane began to walk along the stream and hope it would lead her to' the lake.
As she picked her way carefully along the stream, Jane heard a helicopter. Is that for me Unfortunately,the trees made it impossible for people to see her from above. A few minutes later, another helicopter flew overhead. Jane took off her yellow blouse, thinking that she should go to an open area and flag them if they came back again.
