There is a famous statue in it. B. It is free for admission.‎ C. It lies south of the equator. D. It has its specific animals. ‎ ‎3. The common goal of the four books is to _________.‎ A. raise kids’ environment awareness B. teach kids practical skills C. comment on kids’ behavior D. make kids interested in geography B ‎“Our aim is to take our art to the world and make people understand what it is to move,” said David Belle, the founder of parkour.‎ Do you love running? It is a good exercise, yet many people find it boring. But what if making your morning jog a creative one? Like jumping from walls and over gaps, and ground rolls? Just like James Bond in the movie Casino Royale? Bond jumps down from a roof to a windowsill and then runs several blocks over obstacles on the way. It is just because of Bond’s wonderful performances that the sport has become popular worldwide.‎ Yes, that’s parkour, an extreme street sport aimed at moving from one point to another as quickly as possible, getting over all the barriers in the path using only the abilities of the human body. Parkour is considered an extreme sport. As its participants dash around a city, they may jump over fences, run up walls and even move from rooftop to rooftop.‎ Parkour can be just as exciting and charming as it sounds, but its participants see parkour much more than that.‎ Overcoming all the obstacles on the course and in life is part of the philosophy behind parkour. This is the same as life. You must determine your destination, go straight, jump over all the barriers as if in parkour and never fall back in your life, to reach the destination successfully. A parkour lover said, “I love parkour because its philosophy has become my life, my way to do everything.”‎ Another philosophy we’ve learnt from parkour is freedom. It can be done by anyone, at any time, anywhere in the world. It is a kind of expression of trust in yourself.‎ ‎4. Parkour has become popular throughout the world because of .‎ A. its founder, David Belle B. the varieties of participants C. its risks and tricks D. the film, Casino Royale ‎5. The underlined word “obstacles” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to “ ”.‎ A. streets B. objects C. roofs D. barriers ‎6. Which of the following is the philosophy of parkour?‎ A. Sports and extremes. B. Determination and freedom.‎ C. Dreams and success. D. Excitement and popularity.‎ ‎7. Which of the following is true of parkour?‎ A. It is a team sport. B. It is a good but boring sport.‎ C. It needs special training. D. It challenges human abilities.‎ C For the last month, a married couple has been interacting with a robot — called an Avatar — （hat's controlled by their daughter hundreds of miles away. Made by ANA Holdings Inc, it looks like a vacuum cleaner with an iPad attached. But the screen displays the daughter's face as they chat, and its wheels let her walk slowly about the house as though she's really there.‎ ‎“Virtual travel” is nothing new, of course. Storytellers, travel writers and artists have been stimulating the senses of armchair tourists for centuries. It's only in recent decades that frequent, safe travel has become available to the non-wealthy.‎ Yet even as the world's middle classes climb out of the armchair and into economy-class seats, there are signs of a post-travel society appearing. Concerns about the environment make people lose interest in carbon-intensive （碳排放量很高的）airlines. And the aging of societies is both slowing down the growth of physical travel and creating demand for alternative ways to ‎ experience the world. For the travel industry, virtual reality offers a tantalizing （诱人的）response to these trends.‎ Of course, far-out（前卫的）technologies encourage profits. ANA doesn't plan to start selling Avatars until next year. By one estimate, the global market for this kind of technology will be worth only about S300 million by 2023. By contrast, ANA's traditional travel business brought in more than $19 billion last year.‎ But although the business case for virtual vacations is still weak, the market for technologies that bridge physical distances between families and coworkers seems likely to only expand. ANA's robots may not replace its airplanes any time soon, but they'll almost certainly be a part of travel's high-tech future.‎ ‎8.What purpose does the first paragraph serve in the passage?‎ A. To show a picture of our future life.‎ B. To attract readers' attention to the topic.‎ C. To describe the daily life of a couple.‎ D. To add background in formation of the topic.‎ ‎9.What is the third paragraph mainly about?‎ A. Humans tend to live much longer than before.‎ B. People are becoming more worried about the environment.‎ C. The profits of carbon-intensive airlines are possibly declining.‎ D. Virtual travel might cater for people's desire to see the world.‎ ‎10. ANA is not planning to start selling Avatars soon probably because ‎ A. their commercial profits may not be satisfying ‎ B. they still need to be further tested out C. traditional travel business is taking off D. it is still skeptical about their potential ‎11. The author believes the global market for virtual travel is ‎ A. ambiguous B. promising C. depressing D. challenging D It is quite reasonable to blame traffic jams, the cost of gas and the great speed of modern life, but manners on the road are becoming horrible. Everybody knows that the nicest men would become fierce tigers behind the wheel. It is all right to have a tiger in a cage, but to have one in the driver’s seat is another matter.‎ Road politeness is not only good manners, but a good sense. It takes the most cool-headed drivers great patience to give up the desire to beat back when forced to face rude driving. On the other hand, a little politeness goes a long way towards reducing the possibility of quarrelling and fighting. A friendly nod or a wave of thanks in answer to an act of politeness helps to create an atmosphere of good will and becomes so necessary in modern traffic conditions. But such behavior of politeness is by no means enough. Many drivers nowadays don’t even seem able to recognize politeness when they see it.‎ However, misplaced politeness can also be dangerous. A typical example is the driver who waves a child crossing the street at a wrong place into the path of oncoming cars that may not be able to stop in time. The same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they want to.‎ An experienced driver, whose manners are faultless, told me it would help if drivers learnt to correctly join in a traffic stream without causing total blockages that give rise to unpleasant feelings. Unfortunately, modern drivers can’t even learn to drive, let alone master the roadmanship (公路驾车技能). Years ago, experts warned us that the fast increase of the car ownership would demand more give-and-take from all road users. It is high time for all of us to take this message to heart.‎ ‎12. The most suitable title for this passage would be __________.‎ A. Road Politeness B. Good Manners C. Traffic Jams D. Modern Drivers ‎13. Troubles on the road are often caused by __________.‎ A. traffic jams B. the behavior of the drivers C. the great speed of modern life D. terrible road conditions ‎14. According to the writer, a good driver should __________.‎ A. encourage children to cross the road whenever they want to B. beat back when forced to face rude driving C. be able to recognize politeness when he sees it D. join in a traffic stream quickly however other people feel ‎15. It is not always right for drivers to __________.‎ A. master the roadmanship B. encourage old ladies to cross the road whenever and wherever they want to ‎ C. give a friendly nod in answer to an act of politeness D. neglect politeness when they see it 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。‎ How to Become a Top Student ‎ Successful students use different techniques to study, which brings them more success. 16 Here are the four techniques almost all top-performing students use.‎ ‎ They are regular. Almost all successful students study regularly, because they know “what you give is what you get”. If you put in regular hours of studying, then you will learn more and get better grades. 17 This will help you to study regularly. ‎ ‎ They have clear goals. All top-performing students have definite, specific goals. 18 They motivate you and drive you to study more. But make sure that you do not get carried away. Set realistic goals which can challenge you, but do not seem impossible or too difficult to achieve. ‎ ‎ They study without strain (压力). Successful students study a lot. But they study without putting strain on themselves. Most students make the mistake of studying too hard or studying continuously for a long time. 19 Studying should be done in a balanced manner. Take a break for a few minutes, after studying for 30 or 45 minutes. Relax, walk around your room or house, or drink some water and return to studying. Such short breaks will refresh your brain and you will learn more.‎ ‎ 20 Studying is not something you do just because your parents ask you to do it. It’s actually very important for you. Studying gives you knowledge and skills that will remain with you for the rest of your life. It gives you the ability to get a job and earn money. And successful students recognize the value of studying well. ‎ A. This creates tension and actually slows down learning and memory. ‎ B. But to score high grades in English, you should make well-planned efforts.‎ C. Set aside some hours, each day or each week, for studying. ‎ D. Having such goals gives you a purpose to study better. ‎ E. Learn their techniques, and you will also join their rank.‎ F. They finish their homework on time. ‎ G. They give importance to study.‎ 第二部分：完形填空（共20小题，每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下面短文, 从短文后所给各题的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出可以填入空白的最佳选项。‎ Tracy got up earlier and bought two bags of cat food.
