How about picnics filled with family and fun? We’ve come up with 4 of the top picnic areas across the US.‎ Cumberland Islands, Georgia Just a few hours south of Savannah, this national seashore is a picnic paradise. It’s an unspoiled place in the Deep South with over 50 miles of hiking trails (小径).‎ Covered in Spanish moss, the trails are lined with trees and since it’s still a rural area, the stars line up for a spectacular show at night and create the perfect evening starlit picnic opportunity.‎ Grant Park, Chicago If you are looking for delicious food in Chicago, go for a taste of a 20-day,‎ lake-front, foodie festival that happens in October each year. Grab a spot near the fountain to enjoy your picnic, appreciate the city scenery and lake views and relax with family and friends. If you are there on July 4th, be sure to plan the day to include the fireworks display at the Navy Pier.‎ Cranberry Islands, Maine Here, you’ll enjoy natural picnics with island views. The islands are a delightful group of islands about 20 minutes offshore from Acadia National Park.‎ You can visit the islands by private boat or ferry (渡船) service. Bring a picnic basket along for the ride as it’s a romantic picnic area to take your special someone or go for a family outing to visit the islands.‎ Big Sur, California The Point Lobos State Reserve is a small gem. Besides the coastal wildlife there are rare plant communities, and unique geological formations. It’s good to have a picnic there. We recommend bringing a telescope, because much of the wildlife can be seen only at a distance.‎ ‎36. What are Cumberland Islands like?‎ A. They are just next to Savannah.‎ B. They have a spectacular show every night. C. They are almost covered in Spanish moss.‎ D. They haven’t lost their naturalness.‎ ‎37. Which of the following activities is recommended in the passage?‎ A. Admire fireworks display on Independence Day in Grant Park. B. Bring a telescope and watch the starry night in Big Sur.‎ C. Enjoy delicious food in foodie festival on July 4th in Grant Park.‎ D. Grab a spot near the fountain and appreciate island views in Cranberry Islands.‎ ‎38. Where can you enjoy observing wildlife with a telescope?‎ A. At the Navy Pier. B. In the Deep South.‎ C. At the Point Lobos State Reserve. D. At Acadia National Park.‎ ‎39. Why does the author write this passage?‎ A. To share personal stories about picnics. B. To offer readers tips for winter holiday. C. To introduce some picnic areas.‎ D. To tell readers some good ways to relax.‎ B My son is a disabled teenager. He is in and out of hospital and school. His learning disabilities and behavior issues are a barrier for him, and he is teased on campus. At home, he curses and punches me.‎ He is on a waiting list for his disorder which contributes to his anxiety. Meanwhile, there are hospital appointments to manage, at least four consultants on the go, and an imminent（迫近的）transfer to adult services. The bureaucracy of caring keeps me busy.‎ I used to work in the theatre industry but had to quit when my son kept getting excluded from school. I never expected that my life would turn out like this. But now, amazingly, I am doing a PhD at a Russell Group university, looking at nonwhite heroes and heroines in historical drama. It is fascinating: under‎ represented characters! Hidden histories! Diversity!‎ I am starting to win awards for my research and I feel like a success story. Almost. There’s just one problem: I can’t get funding. I keep missing out on studentships and scholarships. These awards—which are mainly funded by research councils or universities directly—are worth about￡14,000－￡16,000 a year and usually include a fee waiver (saving a further￡5,000). That’s a lot of money.‎ But the funding tends to go to students half my age with straight-A academic results—not to people like me, who have taken an unusual path to academia. When I was turned down for the last studentship I applied for, I asked why. The decision maker—a professor in my department and the head of a research institute—told me “it all comes down to excellent academic results”． They don’t say this on the application forms: it’s all about the originality of your project, your research statement, your supervisor’s supporting statement,‎ the expert group that considers you, the level of competition. But when it comes down to it, this is clearly what they want. Someone with my background is never going to get a studentship if the decisive criteria are undergraduate and master’‎ s results.‎ When I started my PhD and realized that I would need financial help, I went to the student advice office and told them that I am a carer. They asked what that meant and then offered me advice on benefits, but not funding. I went to the student union advice service—they referred me back to student advice. I went to the graduate school. Same response. I spoke to a vice dean and a supervisor. I had to tell them what a carer is. You get the picture. I was invisible. So, I gave up,‎ decided to apply annually for the studentships and kept my part-time job.‎ UCAS announced this year that young carers will now be able to identify themselves in their applications, so that universities will be able to support them.‎ But how is this going to happen if staff at these institutions don’t even know what a carer is?‎ The student welfare vice-president at the union has finally agreed with me that carers are an under-supported and underrepresented group on campus. We are going to ask student records to add an option to the equality and diversity monitoring section, so that we can identify as carers and hopefully raise awareness. Wish us luck.‎ ‎40. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?‎ A. Only undergraduates and masters can get the studentship.‎ B. The writer shows great interest and enthusiasm in her academic research.‎ C. In spite of her son’s illness, the writer continued to work to feed her family. D. The writer’s disabled son does not respect his mother.‎ ‎41. According to the decision maker, the writer’s application for funding was turned down mainly because _.‎ A. she has a disabled son B. the bureaucracy of caring kept her busy C. her academic results were not good enough D. the competition was too fierce ‎42. What is the correct order of the following events?‎ a. The author won awards for her research.‎ b. The author spoke to a vice dean and a supervisor.‎ c. The author decided to apply annually for studentships. d. The author started her PhD.‎ A. cdba B. dcba C. cdab D. dabc ‎43. It can be inferred from the passage that _.‎ A. the writer likes reading success stories B. the university’s efforts to help carers are far from ideal C. the writer is a nonwhite woman D. carers are favored in the process of application and enrollment ‎44. The writer’s purpose is mainly to _.‎ A. call on more people to care about disabled teenagers B. inform the readers of a carer’s difficulties C. complain about the barriers she met in getting funding D. give advice on how to get a studentship C ‎1. As John George remembers it, the Detroit neighborhood he grew up in was straight out of Frank Capra’s It’saWonderfulLife. ‘‘We knew all our neighbors,’’ George, 60, told Detroit’s Metro Times. ‘‘On Christmas Eve, we’d all go to midnight Mass, and there would be 300 people in our house at one o’clock to about five in the morning. The folks were just really good, hardworking people.”‎ ‎2. By the 80s, however, the old neighborhood was declining. Due in part to economic downturns and a nationwide drug epidemic (泛滥), well-kept homes had been abandoned and kindly neighbors had fled to the suburbs. But not George.‎ ‎‘‘Living in any city, it’s like being in a relationship,’’ he told Reader’s Digest. ‘‘Some days are better than others. But it was my home. And when I saw it worsening, I had two choices: I could leave, or I could stay and fight. I decided to stay and fight.”‎ ‎3. When the abandoned home behind his turned into a crack den（毒窝）, the father of two grabbed some plywood and nails and began boarding up the house. After two neighbors stopped to ask what he was doing, they decided to help, with great results. ‘‘When the drug dealers came back, they turned around and went home,’’ says George. ‘‘That’s how it all got started. ‘‘‎ ‎4. ‘‘It’’ is Detroit Blight Busters, or DBB, an organization of civic- minded volunteers devoted to reviving the city they love, one abandoned house, one vacant lot, and one garbage-strewn park at a time.‎ ‎5. In the 30 years since that first home rescue, an army of approximately ‎182,000 volunteers, along with corporate and private donors, has helped George destroy around 300 abandoned homes, mostly in the poorer Northwest area of Detroit. They’ve also secured 400-some homes by boarding them up, thus keeping bad actors out. They’ve painted and renovated nearly 900 homes and built over 100 from scratch（白手起家）. According to Forbes, more than 1,000‎ Detroiters have been housed as a result of DBB’s work.‎ ‎6. ‘‘I’m half Lebanese, half Italian, and 100 percent Detroit stubborn,” George told nationswell.com. ‘‘Once we get something in our heart and in our head, it’s almost autopilot.”‎ ‎7. But that was only the beginning. In 2003, George also breathed life into a dilapidated (破旧的) square mile of Detroit by turning it into Artist Village, an area now filled with galleries, a performance space, community gardens, a coffee shop, and outdoor courtyards. Because this region of North Detroit was a food desert, George also persuaded a supermarket chain to move into the neighborhood.‎ ‎8. ‘‘Blight is like a cancer: If you don’t set upon it, it will spread,’’ George told thehubdetroit.com. And then there’s Halloween. In Detroit, October ‎30 was known as Devil’s Night, a period when all hell would break loose in the form of crime and vandalism（肆意破坏）. In response, George created a citizens’ patrol that would take to the streets, keeping an eye on suspicious behavior. He called it Angels’ Night. What began with 12 neighbors on patrol in 1990 has grown to more than 60,000 citywide.‎ ‎9. George’s inspired ideas have not gone unnoticed by the city he loves.‎ ‎‘‘John wants to show that there is still something to Detroit. That it’s still worth it,’’ says real estate agent Robert LaBute. And others are buying into it.‎ ‎‘‘We’re seeing the trend of younger homeowners coming in.’’‎ ‎10. Is George proud of having boosted his once-ailing hometown? You’d better believe he is. As he puts it: “We are on the front porch of the greatest urban comeback story in this nation’s history.”‎ ‎45. Why was John George reluctant to leave Detroit?‎ A. He enjoyed a wonderful life. B. He wanted to save his city.‎ C. He stayed to fight against drugs. D. He got along with his neighbors.‎ ‎46. What was the result of the first home rescue?‎ A. An official organization was founded.‎ B. A better neighbor relationship was formed. C. A voluntary movement began with it.‎ D. The drug dealers mended their ways at last.‎ ‎47. The data provided in Paragraph 5 suggest that _.‎ A. many people have been lifted out of poverty B. DBB has done a lot to bring the city back to life C. many abandoned homes have been destroyed D. the number of the volunteers has been increasing ‎48. Which of the following is John George’s contribution to reviving the city of Detroit?‎ A. He created a citizen’s patrol to prevent crimes.‎ B. He transformed the city into an industrial area.‎ C. He expanded investment in real estate business.‎ D. He built a supermarket chain in the neighborhood.‎ ‎49. According to the passage, John George can be described as .‎ A. cautious and creative B. stubborn and ambitious C. proud and self-centered D. strong-willed and inspiring ‎50. What’s the best title for the passage?‎ A. The Life of a Hero B. The Power of Devotion C. Detroit’s Proud Tiger D. The Blooming of Detroit D After the age of sixteen, as has been discovered, the number of our brain cells begins to decrease at a speed of several million a year. They simply die off. In certain types of activity, the human brain is at its highest point in the early twenties, when it has collected enough information to be able to use the vast number of cells freely in the most effective way. Pure mathematics is one of the fields in which this happens, and we know that Albert Einstein made all his world-‎ shaking discoveries between the age of about 20 and 25, and spent the rest of his life tidying them up and arranging them.‎ But in certain other types of activity (of which being an author is perhaps one),‎ experience is more important than sharpness of brain, and there one usually finds that a person reaches his or her climax much later in life.‎ Besides sharpness of brain and experience, here is another thing that is very important, and that is wisdom. One can have a very quick, inventive brain and plenty of experience, but if one uses these foolishly, one harms both oneself and others. Wisdom does not always come with age — there are plenty of foolish middle-aged people about — but the average person tends to learn wisdom as he gets older, usually by making painful or embarrassing mistakes. Learning to be wise is basically learning what is not possible and what is possible but so difficult that it is not worth all the trouble one has to go through to get there. Mostly, it is learning about human nature; how real people behave and react, as against how one would like them to behave and react. One can read and hear lot of idealistic stuff about how to make the world a better place, which would be found if it was based on an accurate observation of human nature, but which is basically a waste of time because it is not.‎ ‎51. According to the writer, the great discoveries made by Albert Einstein were mainly a result in .‎ A. sharpness of the brain B. years of hard work C. rich experience D. his deep understanding of nature ‎52. Some people achieve success much later in life because _.‎ A. they have to learn lessons from failures B. they do not have a chance to show their talents C. their work often requires much experience D. they fail to realize earlier the importance of hard work ‎53. The importance of wisdom lies in the fact that .‎ A. it helps to avoid various mistakes B. it contributes to one’s creativity C. it provides the right direction of efforts D. it encourages one to go forward in face of difficulty ‎54. What does the underlined word “climax” in the second paragraph mean?‎ A. peak B. valley C. foot D. slope ‎55. The writer came to believe that .‎ A. it is always a waste of time to make plans about the future B. one has to use wisdom in deciding what is the best thing to do C. one should always challenge the impossible to push the society forward D. it is human nature to make attempts on what looks impossible 第 II 卷 第一节 阅读表达（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分,满分 10 分） 阅读下面短文,并根据题目要求用英语回答问题（请注意问题后的字数要求）。‎ The way people hold to the belief that a fun-filled, pain-free life equals happiness actually reduces their chances of ever attaining real happiness. If fun and pleasure are equal to happiness, then pain must be equal to unhappiness. But in fact, the opposite is true: more often than not things that lead to happiness involve some pain.‎ As a result, many people avoid the very attempts that are the source of true happiness. They fear the pain inevitably brought by such things as marriage,‎ raising children, professional achievement, religious commitment and self- improvement.‎ Ask a bachelor why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be less and less satisfying. If he is honest, he will tell you that he is afraid of making a commitment. For commitment is in fact quite painful. The single life is filled with fun, adventure and excitement. Marriage has such moments, but they are not its most distinguishing features. It more involves devotion and promises.‎ Couples with infant children are lucky to get a whole night’s sleep or a three-day vacation. I don’t know any parent who would choose the word ‎“fun” to describe raising children. But they will also attain the joys of watching a child grow up or of playing with a grandchild.‎ Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the most liberating realizations. It liberates time: now we can devote more hours to activities that can genuinely increase our happiness. It liberates money: buying that new car or those fancy clothes will do something to increase our happiness but they are temporary and far less effective than nourishing our dreams and hopes. And it liberates us from envy: we now understand that all those who are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all.‎ ‎56. What is the author’s opinion of true happiness？（no more than 10 words）‎ ‎57. According to the author, why does a bachelor resist marriage？（no more than ‎10 words）‎ ‎58.
