Britain's highest mountain, Ben Nevis, rises above the area, while the waters of the River Nevis flow through the rocky valley below. The wonderful scenery attracts walkers and climbers all through the seasons, though it's cold in winter. ‎ ‎ During the summer months, one of the most exciting activities is the yearly Glen Nevis River Race, in which competitors race for three kilometres along the river, but not in a boat. Instead, each competitor uses a lilo, a plastic bed filled with air normally used for camping or floating in the sea, to race along the river. There are rocks, waterfalls and sections with scary names like Dead Dog Pool and the Leg Breaker for them to get through.‎ ‎ Competitors set off at 30 second intervals (间隔) by jumping with their lilos from a tiny shelf on a rock into the fast-flowing water 12 metres below. It can take anything from 20 minutes to over two hours to complete the course, depending on the level of the river and the abilities of the competitor.‎ ‎ The only rules are that competitors must be at least 16 years old, and should provide their own crash helmet (防撞头盔), a rubber wet suit and a life jacket. Gloves and old trainers are suggested to protect against knocks. The most important qualification (资格), however, is a sense of fun.‎ ‎ The race is full of exciting moments, and the greatest of these is at the Lower Falls Leap, where terrified competitors have to jump over a ten-metre waterfall not far from the finish. More than 3,000 athletes have taken part in the race during its 30-year history. Their £30 entry fee helps to raise money for the mountain rescue team, whose members provide an essential service in the region for free. ‎ ‎ The prizes may not be fantastic, but everyone receives a certificate (证书) of ‎ completion and the winner gets the title River Race Champion and all who take part agree that it is worth it for the satisfying feeling of reaching the end safely.‎ ‎24. What do we know about the Glen Nevis River Race?‎ ‎ A. It is usually held in winter. B. Its winners receive grand prizes.‎ ‎ C. It is interesting though quite difficult. D. Its participants have to swim for ‎3 km.‎ ‎25. According to the text, to complete the race, _____.‎ ‎ A. the competitors' abilities matter B. the quality of the lilos plays a key role ‎ C. the level of the river does not matter much ‎ D. the racers' performance counts more than speed ‎26.

About 3,000 people participate in the race each year. ‎ ‎[C]‎ ‎ In his book The Tipping Point Canadian author Malcolm Gladwell explains how a trend (潮流) can take many forms. It can be a general change in social behaviour, an idea or a fashion. However, why do some trends catch on and others not? What makes one particular brand of training shoe suddenly become the must-have product? How do people find out about trends and what makes people want to buy into them? Is it simply a question of keeping up with other people?‎ ‎ In his new work, Gladwell explores the moment when something becomes common and how products, ideas, messages and forms of behaviour spread. He looks at the reasons why trends ‎ are similar in the way they develop to outbreaks of disease, or medical epidemics (流行病).‎ Epidemics, like trends, start in a very small way, maybe from a single person with a virus, then spread very quickly until they take over the population and appear to be everywhere. Eventually, they will slow down gradually or die out suddenly. Gladwell shows how these changes happen not gradually but at one sudden moment.‎ ‎ Gladwell identifies three types of people who are influential in the development of these kinds of social epidemics:‎ ‎ Connectors are people in a community who have wide social circles. They know a lot of people and like to introduce people to each other. The people they know often come from a variety of social, cultural, professional and economic circles.‎ ‎ Mavens are people with a lot of knowledge or experts in a particular field. They wish to pass on their knowledge to others. Mavens collect and gather information so are the first to pick up on new trends.‎ ‎ Salesmen are people with charisma (魅力). They have a “soft” influence over people rather than actual power. This means they are influential because people want to imitate them.‎ ‎ Overall, Gladwell's book is a thought-provoking (引人深思的) read for anyone interested in the origins of trends. What's more, he writes in a clear style so even the most difficult ideas are easy to understand.‎ ‎28. What does the underlined part “buy into” in Paragraph 1 mean? ‎ ‎ A. Pay money for. B. Gain control of.‎ ‎ C . Keep the same level as. D. Believe in and be influenced by.‎ ‎29. What do we know about Gladwell?‎ ‎ A. He is a productive North American writer.‎ ‎ B. He has written many books on the subject of trends.‎ ‎ C. He thinks trends develop in the same way as illnesses.‎ ‎ D. He believes there are three types of people in the world.‎ ‎30. According to the text, connectors _____.‎ ‎ A. often follow others B. are very social persons ‎ C. are knowledgeable and experienced D. know many people from the same circle ‎31. What do we know from the text? ‎ ‎ A. Mavens quickly become aware of changes in fashions.‎ ‎ B. Salesmen try to control other people using their power.‎ ‎ C. Connectors and Mavens try to get their information across.‎ ‎ D. This book is interesting but hard to understand for readers.‎ ‎[D]‎ ‎ Chicken feathers are useful, and not just to chickens. Some go into pillows, coats and other products. But countless chicken feathers go to waste.‎ ‎ In the United States, billions of chickens are produced yearly. Most of their feathers are thrown away. But instead of ending up in landfills (废物埋填地), some feathers could find a future in plastics.‎ ‎ Scientists in the Washington area have been working with keratin, the main substance (物质) in chicken feathers. One of the products they have developed is a flowerpot which may look like other flowerpots, but the container breaks down in the earth within one to five years. And as it breaks down, it releases nitrogen (氮) into the soil.‎ ‎ The environmentally friendly flowerpot is the work of two researchers Walter Schmidt and Masud Huda. Walter Schmidt has been working to find uses for chicken feathers since the 1990s. Progress in 2002 showed that plastic made from feathers could be formed like other plastics. ‎ ‎ He says feathers are much stronger and last longer than another plant material, cellulose (纤维素). “Feathers are about eight times as strong as cellulose. By design, feathers are strong and durable (耐用的).” ‎ ‎ Walter Schmidt also points out that traditional flowerpots can last much longer. But he wonders if there is really a need. He says most flowerpots are never reused. ‎ ‎ “Why would you want a plastic that you use for a year to last for two hundred years? It makes no sense. You want to match the product with the use,” he says.‎ Walter Schmidt and Masud Huda are now adding another chicken product to their flowerpots ‎ —chicken waste. The waste will add more nutrients to the soil as the pot breaks down. The scientists say they hope their flowerpot will be on the market in a year or two.‎ ‎32. What is this passage mainly about?‎ A. A new kind of flowerpot will be on the market. ‎ ‎ B. Scientists find new uses for chicken feathers.‎ ‎ C. Chicken feathers are not only useful to chickens. ‎ ‎ D. Billions of chickens are produced yearly in the US.‎ ‎33. From Paragraph 2 we know that _____.‎ ‎ A. the US produces the most chickens around the world ‎ B. all chicken feathers will be made into plastics in the future ‎ C. chicken feathers will no longer be taken to landfills quite soon ‎ D. most chicken feathers are not made use of in the US at present ‎34. Which of the following is the main feature of the new flowerpot?‎ A. It looks quite different.‎ B. It can be used for years. ‎ C. It is environmentally friendly.‎ D. It is made from waste. ‎ ‎35. Walter Schmidt most probably thinks _____.‎ A. people should re-use the same flowerpot ‎ B. it is unnecessary for a flowerpot to last long C. nowadays most products don’t match their use D. people prefer to buy flowerpots which last long 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。‎ If you are feeling that life just cannot be any worse for you, it can be challenging to think positive thoughts.

I've been with them for about 13 years now. People often ask me why I decided to do this job. Well, as a young adult, I loved traveling and so went to work right after graduation as a salesman in Spain. I did that for 10 years. When I came back to work within the travel industry here, my experience of working in tourist centers abroad was a great help in getting this job. I have to admit that one of the main reasons I wanted to be a travel agent was that I get cheap flights and holidays. It's a great advantage! I advise people on the holiday choices available to them, you know, different destinations, types of holidays, ways to get there, and so on. When a customer has decided what he wants, I book it for them and make any other arrangements they may need. It doesn't end there, though. If my customers are flying, I tell them what time they have to check in, and make sure they know what time they will be arriving. I also give information on likely weather conditions and anything else I think will be useful for them.‎ ‎★2017年全国新课标卷高考（英语作文）评分标准(细则)‎ ‎【第五档】(很好)：(21~25分)‎ ‎      1.完全完成了试题规定的任务。‎ ‎      2.覆盖所有内容要点。‎ ‎      3.应用了较多的语法结构和词汇。‎ ‎      4.语法结构或词汇方面有些许错误,但为尽力使用较复杂结构或较高级词汇所致;具备较强的语言运用能力。‎ ‎      5.有效地使用了语句间的连接成分，使全文结构紧凑。‎ ‎      6.完全达到了预期的写作目的。‎ ‎【第四档】(好)：(16~20分)‎ ‎      1.完全完成了试题规定的任务。‎ ‎      2.虽漏掉1、2个次重点，但覆盖所有主要内容。‎ ‎      3.应用的语法结构和词汇能满足任务的要求。‎ ‎      4.语法结构或词汇方面应用基本准确，些许错误主要是因尝试较复杂语法结构或词汇所致。‎ ‎      5.应用简单的语句间的连接成分，使全文结构紧凑。‎ ‎      6.达到了预期的写作目的。‎ ‎【第三档】(适当)：(11~15分)‎ ‎      1.基本完成了试题规定的任务。‎ ‎      2.虽漏掉一些内容，但覆盖所有主要内容。‎ ‎      3.应用的语法结构和词汇能满足任务的要求。‎ ‎      4.有一些语法结构或词汇方面的错误，但不影响理解。‎ ‎      5.应用简单的语句间的连接成分，使全文内容连贯。‎ ‎      6.整体而言，基本达到了预期的写作目的。‎ ‎【第二档】(较差)：(6-10分)‎ ‎      1.未恰当完成试题规定的任务。‎ ‎      2.漏掉或未描述清楚一些主要内容，写了一些无关内容。‎ ‎      3.语法结构单调、词汇项目有限。‎ ‎      4.有一些语法结构或词汇方面的错误，影响了对写作内容的理解。‎ ‎      5.较少使用语句间的连接成分，内容缺少连贯性。‎ ‎      6.信息未能清楚地传达给读者。‎ ‎【第一档】(差)：(1~5分)‎ ‎      1.未完成试题规定的任务。‎ ‎      2.明显遗漏主要内容，写了一些无关内容，原因可能是未理解试题要求。‎ ‎      3.语法结构单调、词汇项目有限。‎ ‎      4.较多语法结构或词汇方面的错误，影响对写作内容的理解。‎ ‎      5.缺乏语句间的连接成分，内容不连贯。‎ ‎      6.信息未能传达给读者。‎ ‎【不得分：(0分)‎
