    【题目】A

    Fat and shy, Ben Saunders was the last kid in his class picked for any sports team. "Football, tennis, cricket--- anything with a round ball, I was useless," he says now with a laugh. But back then he was the one always made fun of in school gym classes in Devonshire, England.

    It was a mountain bike he received for his 15th birthday that changed him. At first he went biking alone in a nearby forest. Then he began to ride the bike along with a runner friend. Gradually, Saunders set up his mind on building up his body, increasing his speed and strength. At the age of 18, he ran his first marathon.

    The following year he met John Ridgway and was hired as an instructor at Ridgway's school of adventure in Scotland, where he learnt about Ridgway's cold-water exploits. Greatly interested, Saunders read all he could about North Pole explorers and adventures, the decided that this would be his future.

    In 2001, after becoming a skillful skier, Saunders started his first long-distance expedition towards the North Pole. It took unbelievable energy. He suffered frostbite, ran into a polar bear and pushed his body to the limit, pulling his supply-loaded sled up and over rocky rice.

    Saunders has since become the youngest person to ski alone to the North Pole, and he's skied more of the North Pole by himself than any other British man. His old playmates would not believe the change.

    Next October, Saunders, 27, heads south from the coast of Antarctica to the South Pole and back, a 2900-kilometer journey that has never been completed on skis.

    【1】What change happened to Saunders after he was 15 years old?

    A. He became good at most sports.

    B. He began to build up his body.

    C. He joined a sports team

    D. He made friends with a runner.

    【2】The underlined word “exploits” (paragraph 3) is closest in meaning to ______.

    A. journeys B. researches

    C. adventures D. operations. W

    【3】What does the story mainly tell us abut Saunders?

    A. He is a success in sports.

    B. He is the best British skier.

    C. He is Ridgway's best student.

    D. He is a good instructor at school.

    【答案】

    【1】B

    【2】C

    【3】A

    【解析】

    【1】细节理解题 根据第二段第四句Gradually, Saunders set up his mind on building up his body.

    【2】词义猜测题 根据第三段最后一句Greatly interested, Saunders read all he could about North Pole explorers and adventures, the decided that this would be his future. 这一句是对上句划线单词exploits的进一步解释。出现关键词adventures。

    【3】主旨大意题 这篇文章主要讲的是Saunders如何由一个完全不擅长体育的学生变成了一个滑雪健将，并且已经成为了独自滑雪到达北极的最年轻的的人。由此可知，A正确。

    【题目】There is no better way to enjoy Scottish traditions than going fishing and tasting a little bit of whisky(威士忌)at a quiet place like the Inverlochy Castle. When Queen Victoria visited the castle in 1873, she wrote in her diary, “I never saw a lovelier spot ,” And she didn’t even go fishing.

    Scotland is not easily defined. In certain moments, this quiet land of lakes and grasses and mountains changes before your very eyes. When evening gently sweeps the hillside into orange light ,the rivers, filling with fish, can turn into streams of gold . As you settle down with just a fishing pole and a basket on the bank of River Orchy, near the Inverlochy castle , any frustration（烦恼）will float away as gently as the circling water. It’s just you and purple , pink ,white flowers, seeking a perfect harmony . If you are a new comer to fishing, learning the basics from a fishing guide may leave you with a lifetime’s fun. For many, fishing is more than a sport; it is an art.

    Scotland offers interesting place where you can rest after a long day’s fishing. Set against a wild mountain and hidden behind woodland , the beautiful Inverlochy Castle Hotel below the Nevis is a perfect place to see the beauty of Scotland’s mountains . Ben Nevis is the highest of all British mountains , and reaching its 1342-metre top is a challenge . But it’s not just what goes up that matters; what comes down is unique . More than 900 metres high, on the mountain’s north face, lies an all-important source of pure water. Its name comes form the Gaelic (盖尔特) language “usqueb” or “water of life”; And it is the single most important ingredient(原料) in Scotland’s best-known drink: whisky.

    【1】How is Paragraph 2 mainly developed?

    A. By giving descriptions.

    B. By following time order.

    C. By analyzing causes.

    D. By making comparisons.

    【2】What is Ben Nevis special for?

    A. The Inverlochy Castle Hotel.

    B. The beauty of its surroundings.

    C. The water from the mountain.

    D. The challenge up to its top.

    【3】What is the main purpose of the passage?

    A. To introduce Scottish traditions to tourists.

    B. To show the attractions of Scotland to readers.

    C. To explore geographical characteristics of Scotland.

    D. To describe the pleasures of life in Scotland。

    【4】The story of Queen Victoria is to show that _____.

    A. the Queen is rich in tour experience

    B. the Castle is a good place to go in Scotland

    C. tasting whisky is better than going fishing

    D. 1873 is a special year for the Queen

    【题目】C

    People from East Asia tend to have more difficulty than those from Europe in distinguishing facial expressions---and a new report published online in Current Biology explains why.

    Rachael Jack, University of Glasgow researcher, said that rather than scanning evenly across a face as Westerners do, Easterners fix their attention on the eyes.

    “We show that Easterners and Westerners look at different face features to read facial expressions,” Jack said. “Westerners look at the eyes and the mouth in equal measure, while Easterners favor the eyes and ignore the mouth.”

    According to Jack and her colleagues, the discovery shows that human communication of emotion is more complex than previously believed. As a result, facial expressions that had been considered universally recognizable cannot be used reliably to convey emotion in cross-cultural situations.

    The researchers studied cultural differences in the recognition of facial expressions by recording the facial movements of 13 Western people and 13 Eastern people while they observed pictures of expressive faces and put them into categories: happy, sad, surprised, fearful, disgusted, or angry. They compared how accurately participants read those facial expressions using their particular eye movement strategies.

    It turned out that Easterners focused much greater attention on the eyes and made significantly more errors than Westerners did. “The cultural difference in eye movements that they show is probably a reflection of cultural difference in facial expressions,” Jack said. “Our data suggest that while Westerners use the whole face to convey emotion, Easterners use the eyes more and mouth less.”

    In short, the data show that facial expressions are not universal signals of human emotion. From here on, examining how cultural factors have diversified these basic social skills will help our understanding of human emotion. Otherwise, when it comes to communicating emotions across cultures, Easterners and Westerners will find themselves lost in translation.

    【1】The discovery shows that Westerners______.

    A. pay equal attention to the eyes and the mouth

    B. consider facial expressions universally reliable

    C. observe the eyes and the mouth in different ways

    D. have more difficulty in recognizing facial expression

    【2】What were the people asked to do in the study?

    A. To make a face at each other

    B. To get their faces impressive

    C. To classify some face pictures

    D. To observe the researchers’ faces

    【3】What does the underlined word “they” in paragraph 6 refer to?

    A. The participants in the study

    B. The researchers of the study

    C. The errors made in the study

    D. The data collected from the study

    【4】In comparison with the Westerners, Easterners are likely to_____.

    A. do translation more successfully

    B. study the mouth frequently

    C. examine the eyes more attentively

    D. read facial expressions more correctly

    【题目】

    In the fall of 1985, I was a bright-eyed girl heading off to Howard University, aiming at a

    legal career and dreaming of sitting on a Supreme Court bench somewhere. Twenty-one years later I am still a bright-eyed dreamer and one with quite a different tale to tell.

    My grandma, an amazing woman, graduated from college at the age of 65. She was the first

    in our family to reach that goal. But one year after I started college, she developed cancer. I made

    the choice to withdraw from college to care for her. It meant that school and my personal dream

    would have to wait.

    Then I got married with another dream: building my family with a combination of adopted

    and biological children. In 1999, we adopted our first son. To lay eyes on him was fantastic---and very emotional. A year later came our second adopted boy. Then followed son No. 3. In 2003, I

    gave birth to another boy.

    You can imagine how fully occupied I became, raising four boys under the age of 8! Our

    home was a complete zoo — a joyous zoo. Not surprising, I never did make it back to college

    full-time. But I never gave up on the dream either. I had only one choice: to find a way. That

    meant taking as few as one class each semester.

    The hardest part was feeling guilty about the time I spent away from the boys. They often

    wanted me to stay home with them. There certainly were times I wanted to quit, but I knew I

    should set an example for them to follow through the rest of their lives.

    In 2007, I graduated from the University of North Carolina. It took me over 21 years to get

    my college degree!

    I am not special, just single-minded. It always struck me that when you’re looking at a big

    challenge from the outside it looks huge, but when you’re in the midst of it, it just seems normal. Everything you want won’t arrive in your life on one day. It’s a process. Remember: little steps

    add up to big dreams.

    【1】When the author went to Howard University, her dream was to be_________.

    A. a writer B. a doctor

    C. a judge D. a journalist

    【2】Why did the author quit school in her second year of college?

    A. Her grandma asked her to withdraw from college.

    B. She fell in love and got married.

    C. She had so many children to support that she was too busy to continue her college.

    D. She decided to look after her grandma.

    【3】What does the author mostly want to tell us in the last paragraph?

    A. Failure is the mother of success.

    B. Little by little, one goes far.

    C. Every coin has two sides.

    D. Well begun, half done.

    【4】Which of the following can best describe the author?

    A. Caring and determined.

    B. Honest and responsible.

    C. Ambitious and sensitive.

    D. Innocent and single-minded.
