Ecuador, watching the sun move quietly into the sea, you shouldn't forget that Charles Darwin (1809-1882) arrived here in 1835. He stayed on the islands for five weeks, observing various animals. This finally inspired (启发) his famous work, On the Origin of Species. You can certainly follow Darwin's footsteps and enjoy a trip from four to seven days to the islands. The islands are certainly a paradise (天堂) for wildlife, as there are no natural killers on the islands and the number of boats and visitors is under government control. Though you cannot walk freely as Darwin did about 200 years ago, each day is as impressive as it could be. The most well-known animal of the Galapagos is the giant tortoise(巨型海龟), which can be seen moving slowly around the highlands of Sanra Cruz, the second largest island in the archipelago(群岛). Some of these creatures are so old that they might have been seen in their youth by Darwin himself. Despite strict control over activities and timing, your stay on the Galapagos will be remembered as a chain of incomparable pictures: diving with sea lions that swim and play within inches of you; feeling small sharks touch your feet as you swim; and, most magically, seeing a whale and her baby surface with a great breath of air. Travelling between the islands and observing the wildlife that so inspired Darwin, you will feel as though you are getting a special view of an untouched world. At night you will sleep on board the ship, leaving the wildlife in complete occupation of the islands, which are as undisturbed now as they have been since the beginning of time. ( ) 1. What do we know about Darwin's visit to the islands? A. He studied different creatures on the islands B. He completed his famous book on the islands C. He was touched by the geography of the islands D. He was attracted by well-known animals of the islands ( ) 2. Which of the following plays a role in making the islands "a paradise for wildlife"? A. Animals on the islands feed on grass. B. Local government forbids killing wildlife. C. People cannot visit the islands as they wish. D. Tourists are not allowed to touch the animals. 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 2 ( ) 3. Your stay on the islands will be most impressive mainly because of_________. A. The beautiful sea views B. Darwin's inspiring trip C. a closer view of animals D. various daring activities ( ) 4. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. A Unique Attraction for Wildlife Lovers B. Calapagos as a Paradise for Adventures C. Charles Darwin as a Symbol of Galapagos D.

His life seems different from that of the others. He looks exhausted and carries nothing. He appears along a downtown street, seemingly out of nowhere. We sometimes want to know where he sleeps at night. A few weeks ago he boarded the bus. A few stops later, a young woman boarded. She swiped (刷) her bus-card, only to find the machine would not accept it. The driver told her to pay the $2.25 fare. “I just bought this card,” she said. “I paid the money...” The driver said she could take the card back to the sales office and explain the problem. 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 3 In the meantime she would have to pay the fare for that day. The woman became confused and distressed. The rest of us just watched, wondering how the problem would be solved. Suddenly the man rose from his seat, dropped a few coins into the fare box. “You’re lucky,” the bus driver said quietly. “He paid for you.” Silence fell over the bus. The rest of us had watched the woman’s discomfort, but he felt it. We lawyers, journalists and business people headed downtown to help fix the world. He fixed her world. I haven’t seen him since that day. Some people believe angels occasionally drop down and move among us. All I know is that I have a new respect for the simple act of kindness.

Researchers peered (凝视) into the fridges of 400 people in Britain and compared the contents with the owners’ lifestyles. They claim to be able to classify the nation’s people by fridge contents. They say those people can be separated into five categories：nutrition nerds (no social sense), food faddiest (whatever’s in style), martyr mums, fast food fanatics and restaurant regulars. Nutrition nerds care much about what they put into their bodies. Their fridges are stocked with fruit, vegetables and healthy meat. 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 4 People in this category tend to be highly organized and usually work in law or accountancy. The vast majority is single, but if they have a partner, that person will be similar. A fridge full of vitamins — enriched juices implies its owner works in media or fashion. They tend not to eat the foods they buy. Known as the food faddiest, they just want to be seen as purchasing the latest important things. A fridge filled with everything from steak to frozen fish suggests the martyr mum. Her fridge tends to be stocked with every kind of product, except what she herself would want. This fridge hints at difficulty balancing family and work life. Fast food fanatics always buy mineral water or soda pop. The nearest they will get to fresh fruit is tomato sauce. Their fridges hint at someone who works hard and plays hard, also, someone who is not into long term planning. Finally, a fridge filled with nothing more than a bottle of white wine and some sparkling mineral water implies an owner who is single, lives in a big city and enjoys the finer things in life. The fridge is empty because this person regularly eats in restaurants. 36. What can we know from the first two paragraphs? A. Some researchers are fond of staring at other people’s fridges. B. People don’t want others to know about their secrets. C. The food you put in the fridge has something to do with your personality. D. There are mainly five kinds of lifestyles among British people. 【答案】C 【解析】细节理解题。第一段讲英国一个市场调查发布说如果你不想让人对你了解过多，你最好保持你冰 箱的秘密。第二段讲，研究者在英国看了 400 多个人的冰箱并比较主人的生活方式，他们称能够通过冰箱 里的东西把人们分类。由此可见，冰箱里放的食物和人的性格有关。故选 C。 37. According to the passage, people who belong to food faddiest_________. A. don’t care much about money when buying things B. will try their best to stay healthy C. often stay up late to finish their job D. prefer to ask others about what to do next 【答案】A 【解析】细节理解题。由“Known as the food faddiest, they just want to be seen as purchasing the 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 5 latest important things.”可知他们买东西只想让人看上去他们购买了最新的重要的东西，而不在乎钱。 故选 A。 38. Which of the following is true according to the passage? A. “Nutrition nerds” are always organized and successful in their jobs. B. “Food faddists” like to stock their fridges with all kinds of vitamins. C. “Martyr mums” care themselves more than others.

How to keep our fridge contents secret. 【答案】B 【解析】主旨大意题。第一段说明文章主要讲冰箱里的内容和主人的秘密。故选 B。 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C 和 D)中，选出最佳选项。 【2013 界广东省揭阳市一模】 Consumer electronics once again topped the list of the most wanted gifts this holiday season. “Seventy-six percent of consumers who plan to buy holiday gifts say that they will spend money or buy at least one technology product; definitely a solid vote of confidence for technology.” Steve Koenig is with the Consumer Electronics Association. He says the group’s latest research also shows that Americans this year are spending more on technology products. “Here in 2012, 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 6 $252 on average——the technology spend for consumers this year.” From tablet computers to smart phones, American shoppers have been lining up to get the newest and coolest electronic devices on the market.

One of Apple’s biggest competitors is the Google Nexus 7. It starts at $199. “Its hardware is more powerful than what’s in the iPad Mini, but also it offers you a lot of things like maps that work better than Apple’s maps. But Brian Tong says there is one reason why people may like the iPad Mini more than the Nexus 7. “If you just want to read books and surf the Internet, you don’t really need to get an iPad Mini, but if you want the largest robust group of apps (应用软件) that’s where the iPad and Apple’s ecosystem shines the most.” Elman Chacon is with the electronics store Best Buy. He says another hot product this season is smart cameras. They connect to the Internet through WiFi. This makes it easy for users to email or upload photographs directly from the camera. “You can literally take a picture and upload it into your Facebook in a matter of seconds. These things are pretty cool because they do a lot of things.” Streaming media boxes also connect to the Internet. People are able to watch web content such as movies and YouTube videos on their televisions. Another popular item is wireless speaker systems.
