SWIM WITH THE HUMPBACKS OF TONGA. ‎ B In the short time Steve and Zach had been inside their tent packing their tools, wind-blown flame had skipped from the top of one tree to another. The long dry summer had turned the forest into a tinderbox.‎ ‎“Let’s go! We can make it back to the river we crossed today!” Steve kept Brady on the lead and their heads down against the fire-wind. But Brady barked a sharp warning. Ahead of them lay a thick curtain of smoke across the track. They would never make it through that. The dog was pulling at his lead trying to draw them away from the smoke, and yet Steve was uneasy. It seemed to him that they were moving away from the river.‎ Suddenly, Zach cried. “Zach!” Steve shouted. “Are you OK? Where are you?” Then Brady pulled Steve down a sharp slope(坡). At its base, Zach was rubbing his ankle. ‎ As Steve helped his friend to his feet, Brady lifted his head and snuffed(嗅) the smoke-laden wind. Next moment, the dog bounded away and disappeared. The boys shouted for him, but he didn’t come back. Steve couldn’t blame Brady for panicking. He himself wanted to run even though he didn’t have a clue which way.‎ Steve and Zach hadn’t gone far when there was a familiar bark, and Brady came bounding, stopped directly in front of Steve and hit him with his head, pushing him back toward the slope they’d just climbed. But Steve didn’t get it. Then Brady grabbed the boy’s jeans and started pulling. The message was clear, but Steve hesitated. Of course he remembered Brady saving his uncle’s life when the dog was much younger. Was he still sharp enough to get them through this?‎ Nearby, a pine went up in a whoosh of smoke. Brady pulled again, urgently. “OK, big guy,” Steve gritted(咬紧牙关). Brady led them back down the slope and into the trees. Not far from them fire was touching underbrush. Several times the big dog stopped. Often he changed directions. Steve was so tired that he just wanted to rest, but Brady wouldn’t have it. The dog bullied both boys to go on. How long they’d walked Steve had no idea. He was almost numb when he heard it---the wonderful sound of rushing water! ‎ ‎24. What happened to Steve and Zach at first? ‎ A. They got injured. B. They lost their dog. ‎ C. They were trapped. D. They became separated. ‎ ‎25. Brady ran away to ______. ‎ A. seek help B. find a way out C. rescue Zach D. escape for life ‎26. How did Steve feel after Brady pulled his jeans? ‎ A. Uneasy. B. Impatient. C. Numb. D. Uncertain.‎ ‎27. The passage basically describes ________.‎ A. an adventure B. an exploration C. an escape game D. a training program C If you are planning on booking some flights over Christmas or to see in the New Year overseas, don’t book on Friday. New research has revealed that prices of tickets booked on this day can be as much as 13 percent more than if you wait for a couple of days and book on Sunday.‎ The study concludes that there is a reason why Friday is the more expensive. Most analyses will show low air ticket prices on weekends because these are the days which most leisure (休闲) travelers purchase tickets. Business travel, on the other hand, is most often purchased during the week and has a higher air ticket price on average.‎ Last year, Tuesday was found to be the best day to get the best deals on flights. However, research this year found that trend might have changed. While advance purchase is a key aspect for determining when travelers should buy a ticket, it’s not the only factor to consider.‎ For years, travelers and industry experts have wondered which day produces the best savings. In previous reports, studies have suggested that Tuesday is the best day, by a small margin. Looking at 2016 and based upon 2015 data, researching firms Expedia and ARC founds that on average, weekends provide an opportunity to find great deals, with Tuesday still close behind. The booking habits of 10 billion air passengers were used in the study.‎ Greg Schulze, senior vice president, global tour and transport, at Expedia, said: “ Analyzing these massive data sets with our partners at ARC gives us smart insights (建议) that we can pass along to travelers. And travelers benefit because even small, simple insights in the booking process—what time of year or day of week to book , for example can provide significant savings.”‎ Chuck Thackston, managing director of enterprise information at ARC added, “Expedia, armed with ARC’s global ticketing data, provides unmatched knowledge about the state of air travel offering valuable insights for leisure and corporate travelers to use when booking flights.”‎ 28. Air tickets booked on Friday are more expensive because _________.‎ A. the people going on holiday often purchase the tickets.‎ B. most people purchase tickets for their Christmas holiday.‎ C. people often buy tickets to travel overseas at weekends.‎ D. the tickets are often sold to those going on business trips.‎ 29. What can we infer from the passage? ‎ A. It is necessary to refer to the advice given by Expedia and ARC.‎ B. It saves much money when people go on business on Sunday.‎ C. Booking air tickets on Tuesday saves travelers a lot of money.‎ D. Wait for a few days to book air tickets, and you will save much money.‎ ‎30.What does the underline word mean in Paragraph Five?‎ A. Help B. Leave C. Produce D. Expect ‎31. What can be the best title of the passage?‎ A. Traveling by Air Overseas during Christmas B. Booking Air Tickets on Sunday Saves the Most C. Providing Suggestions for Business Travelers D. Trend of Buying Air Tickets Changes over time D Losing your ability to think and remember is pretty scary. We know the risk of dementia (痴呆症) increase with age. But if you have memory slips, you probably needn’t worry. There are pretty clear differences between signs of dementia and age-related memory loss.‎ After age 50, it’s quite common to have trouble remembering the names of people, places and things quickly, says Dr. Kirk Daffner of Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston.‎ The brain ages just like the rest of the body. Certain parts shrink, especially areas in the brain that are important to learning, memory and planning. Changes in brain cells can affect communication between different regions of the brain. And blood flow can be reduced as blood vessels narrow.‎ Forgetting the name of an actor in a favorite movie, for example, is nothing to worry about. But if you forget the plot of the movie or don’t remember even seeing it, that’s far more concerning. Daffner says.‎ When you forget entire experiences, he says, that’s “a red flag that something more serious may be involved.” Forgetting how to operate a familiar object like a microwave oven, or forgetting how to drive to the house of a friend you’ve visited many times before can also be signs of something going wrong.‎ But even then, Daffner says, people shouldn’t panic. There are many things that can cause confusion and memory loss, including health problems like temporary stoppage of breathing during sleep, high blood pressure, or depression, as well as medications (药物) like antidepressants.‎ You don’t have to figure this out on your own. Daffner suggests going to your doctor to check on medications, health problems and other issues that could be affecting memory. And the best defense against memory loss is to try to prevent it by building up your brain’s cognitive (认知) reserve, Daffner says.‎ ‎“Read books, go to movies, take on new hobbies or activities that force one to think in novel ways,” he says. In other words, keep your brain busy and working. And also get physically active, because exercise is a known brain booster(令人鼓舞的事情).‎ 32. Why does the author say that one needn’t be concerned about memory slips?‎ A. Not all of them are symptoms of dementia.‎ B. They occur only among certain groups of people.‎ C. Not all of them are related to one’s age.‎ D. They are quite common among fifty-year-olds.‎ 32. What happens as we become aged according to the passage?‎ A. Our interaction skills worsen.‎ B. Some parts of our brain stop functioning.‎ C. Communication within our brain weakens.‎ D. Our whole brain starts shrinking.‎ 33. Which memory-related symptom should people take seriously?‎ A. Totally forgetting how to do one’s daily routines.‎ B. Inability to recall details of one’s life experiences.‎ C. Failure to remember the names of movies or actors.‎ D. Occasionally confusing the addresses of one’s friends.‎ 34. What’s Dr. Daffner’s advice for fighting against memory loss?‎ A. Having regular physical and mental checkups.‎ B. Taking medicine that helps boost one’s brain.‎ C. Engaging in known memory repair activities.‎ D. Staying active both physically and mentally.‎ 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Why Walking Your Dog Is Great Exercise Having trouble sticking to an exercise program? Research shows that dogs are actually nature’s perfect personal trainers---loyal, hard-working,energetic and enthusiastic. Your friends may skip an exercise session because of appointments, extra chores or bad weather. 36 ‎ ‎ Is dog walking really effective exercise? Many people are becoming interested in exercise to help lose excess weight. 37 Dog owner-ship and obesity were evaluated in Seattle, Wash., and Baltimore, Md., in a study published in the journal Preventive Medicine in September 2008. Dog owners who reported walking their dogs were almost 25 percent less likely to be obese than people without dogs.‎ ‎ What are the benefits of regular exercise? Dr.Joanna Kruk reviewed medical literature describing the health benefits of exercise. Her research showed that the risk of developing a number of serious health problems is reduced by physical activity and exercise.‎ ‎ 38 It’s easy to forget about healthy walking plans, so set the stage for a successful program: Establish a walking schedule; plan to walk 30 minutes total each day. This might include a 10-minute neighborhood walk in the morning and a 20-minute romp at the dog park after work. Or maybe three 10-minule walks or one 30-minute walk fit in better with your day.‎ ‎ If dog walking is “scheduled” each day, you'll feel more responsible for sticking with your program. 39 Most importantly, daily walking your dog will keep it fit and give it an opportunity to utilize their senses while also engaging their mind.‎ ‎ So, grab a leash, whistle to the pup, and go for a walk-today and every day! Take action! 40 ‎ A. Plan for success.‎ B. Track your progress.‎ C. This will reinforce your good behavior.‎ D. Dog walking is a great way to start a healthy lifestyle program.‎ E. However, dogs never give you an excuse to delay exercising.‎ F. Plus, your dog will also get used to the routine and remind you when “it’s time”!‎ G. Obesity is affecting about one in every three to four adults in the United States and Europe.‎ 第三部分：语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节: 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ Very few of us become fluent in another language by studying it in high school.

Yet, since 1978, China 61 (plant) at least 66 billion of them across its desert northern territories, hoping to transform its sandy dry land and yellow dunes 62 a Great Green Wall. ‎ Ian Teh recorded this amazing undertaking while 63 (travel) through northern China last year.
