In addition to tigers, there are also bears, deer, wolves, birds, etc. Location: In Madhya Pradesh state, almost 200 kilometers northeast of Jabalpur. The nearest village is Tala, which is the access point of the park. Opening Hours and Safari（打猎）Times Safaris operate twice a day, starting at dawn until late morning, and mid afternoon until sunset. The best time to visit the park is early in the morning or after 4 p.m. to spot the animals. the park is closed from July 1 to September 30 due to the monsoon season（季风季节）. Bandhavgarh Zone Bandhavgarh is divided into three main zones: Tala (the park’s best zone, with the most tigers), Magdhi (the second best zone to see tigers), and Khitauli (scenic and less visited, although tiger sighting do occur there; particularly good for birding). Entry Fees and Charges for Jeep Safaris Bandhavgarh has become expensive to visit in recent years. Entry fees have increased since October 2014. When going on a safari, separate fees must be paid for park entry and jeep hire. Entry tickets are priced per vehicle (up to six people). For 2015-16, park entry tickets cost as follows: Tala Zone: 2,400 rupees for Indians, 4,800 rupees for foreigners. (Up to six people) Other Zones: 1,200 rupees for Indians, 2,400 rupees for foreigners. (Up to six people) Jeep Hire Expect to pay about 2,200 rupees to hire a jeep, in addition to the entry cost. This can be done at the park entrance. All hotels can arrange jeep hire and tours, but at a higher rate. It’s much less trouble though. Besides, unlike many national parks in India, it’s possible to take private vehicles into Bandhavgarh. 21. What is Bandhavgarh National Park most famous for? A. Species of bears. B. Lots of tigers. C. Beautiful birds. D. A number of wolves. 22. How much should five Americans pay for entry fees to visit Magdhi Zone? A. 1,200 rupees. B. 2,400 rupees. C. 4,800 rupees. D. 6,000 rupees. 23. Which of the following statements is TRUE about jeep hire in the park? A. Tourists don’t have to hire jeeps. B. Hiring jeeps from hotels costs less money. C. Tourists can only hire a jeep from the park. D. Jeep hire fees are included in the entry cost. B My first book had been rejected by every major American publisher. My first agent, wasn’t communicating. My dream of a life as a successful author was in tatters. “It isn’t going to happen,” I said to my friend. “And I have to accept it.” “If you lose faith in your product, no one else will have faith in it,” she told me. And, I knew she was right. But, how could I believe in myself when I hit a wall at every turn? I knew I had a good product. The book featured interviews with world-famous people who had learned how to succeed and lead—the hard way. It had information that could help other people. As a consumer, I would have loved that book because it had the great wisdom I so desperately needed. And, their stories made for good reading. I had a good book. What I didn’t have was a publisher. I had to find a way to get that book sold and on the shelves. But, how? The hardest challenge was forcing myself to do battle again. I had to find the strength to believe in myself when it seemed like no one else believed in me. When I hit a wall, I usually need to get more information to figure out what is going wrong. So, I did some research and found out that my initial vision for the book-where all the interview subjects got their own chapters-wasn’t marketable to big publishers because that format does not sell tons of books. What I had to do was recognize, restructure and rewrite. I needed an agent. There are thousands of agents. Surely one of them was right for me. So, I started sending out query（询问）letters. Within a week, I had a dozen agents who wanted the book. I chose the one who I thought would believe in me and my dream. She did get me my choices of publishers. Hard won Wisdom wound up being a best-selling book. But, it almost never was. 24. Which can best replace the underlined part “in tatters” in Paragraph 1? A. Great. B. Ruined. C. Strange. D. Cherished. 25. How can the author’s first book be described? A. It is very theoretical. B. It contains many love stories. C. It is about a well-known person. D. It is quite useful for many people. 26. Which part of the mentioned book was changed by the author? A. The cover of it. B. The main content. C. The structure of it. D. The introduction part. 27. What does the author’s story tell us? A. Never give up. B. Easier said than done. C. Every man has his faults. D. Never judge a book by its cover. C Marjorie grew up with a sense of worthlessness. Again and again her father said she would never accomplish anything in life. He told her she was a loser and that anything she did was sure to end in failure. With these words constantly ringing in her ears she grew up looking for someone who would love her and see her as a person of worth. This led her into relationships that disappointed her, ending in pain yet, which was another proof that she was worthless and unlovable. Where does our sense of self-worth come from? It is true that the foundation for a person’s self-worth is laid in the home. Words that we hear in our home can build or tear down our worth. Encouraging words are words of life to us while words of criticism are words of death. Other people like teachers, friends and employers add to the collection of life-giving death words in a person’s heart. Over time a person begins to see themselves in the light of these words. In this situation can one develop a sense of worth? Feeling worthless is possibly the most obvious symptom of low self-esteem（自尊心）. But it’s easy to overcome. However tough your childhood is, you can still choose to enrich the world every day simply by the way you interact with others and make caring decisions. Whether we contribute anything or not is a choice. Feeling worthless means that you’re not doing as well in the areas that matter to you and therefore you need to try to increase your self-esteem. To feel worthwhile, you’ll have to really work at it and never give up on yourself. All human beings are capable of adding value to society, including you. Thus there are no excuses for saying things like “I’m worthless, stupid, useless” because you have the choice not to be any of these things. 28. From Paragraph 1, we can know that ________. A. Marjorie was a very confident woman B. fathers decide children’s future development C. family education affects children’s growth D. children shouldn’t follow their parents’ advice 29. The third paragraph mainly shows us ________. A. what is self-esteem B. why we feel worthless C. when we should make a choice D. how we should change ourselves 30. It can be inferred from the passage that ________. A. all of us can contribute to society B. our self-esteem is only built at home C. people should treat children strictly like their parents D. people should accomplish anything that matters to us 31. Which of the following is the best title of this text? A. The reasons for worthlessness B. Take action to become worthwhile C. The importance of fathers’ education D. Study to get self-esteem D When you see someone you know, the easiest way to recognize them is by their face—but not everyone can do this. Many people have prosopagnosia, or face blindness, which is a neurological （神经病学的）condition where the part o the brain that recognizes faces fails to develop. It can stop people recognizing partners, family members, friends or even their own reflection. It was once though to be caused by brain injury (acquired prosopagnosia) but now a genetic link has been proved (development prosopagnosia). Acquired prosopagnosia is a very rare but as many as one in 50 people may have developmental prosopagnosia. There’s no specific treatment, but training programmes are being developed to help improve facial recognition. For many, the situation can be dangerous. I’ve heard stories of people being robbed by strangers claiming to be family members, or of children wandering off strange men. It was only is this century that researchers began to realize exactly how many people in this world were quietly living with the condition. Like a blind person who can recognize family members by their footsteps, prosopagnosics are forced to develop unusual ways of discovering who it is they’re meeting or talking to. From the obvious markers like hair and voice, to the way one sits, stands or walks, they rely on dozens of means to get through ordinary life. Faces are an important part of identity. Not to be recognized feels terrible—it’s as if you’ve been overlooked, like someone’s saying you don’t matter. But it’s nothing to the pain of knowing that you’re hurting people’s feelings constantly, and yet being completely unaware that you’re doing it in the moment. To be alienated（隔离的）from the world of faces is a strange position to be in, but I’m comforted by the thought that articles like this will do a little to help people forgive me and others like me. 32. Why do some people have developmental prosopagnosia? A. Mainly due to brain injury. B. Mainly due to their life styles. C. Mainly for biological reasons. D. Mainly for psychological reasons. 33. What can we learn about prosopagnosia? A. We can do nothing to deal with it. B. One fifth of people suffer from it. C. It can be cured by training programmes. D. Developmental prosopagnosia is more common. 34. Like a blind person, people with prosopagnosia ________. A. depend on their families for a normal life. B. are embarrassed about their condition. C. are usually laughed at by other people. D. have special ways to recognize people 35. What can we infer about people with prosopagnosia from the last paragraph? A. They are unfriendly to others. B. They feel hurting others doesn’t matter. C. They often make others feel ignored. D. They avoid communicating with others. 第二节 （7 选 5）（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。 Steel is a hard metal that people use to make many different products. Car bodies, bridges, building frames, and containers are just a few of the things made from steel. 36 But steel is better than iron in many ways. Steel is stronger but lighter than iron. Steel also lasts longer than iron. 37 Then they add carbon to the liquid iron. They may also add other materials to make different types of steel. For example, steel with added chromium（铬）is called stainless steel. It will not rust（生锈）or stain. Finally, workers use machines to cool the liquid steel into bars or long sheets. 38 People made the first steel as early as 1400 BC. Ancient people heated iron inside a pile of burning charcoal（木炭）. 39 . The result was not the same as modern steel, but it was stronger than regular iron. In the 1800s people began to use huge ovens to make large amounts of steel. In the late 1800s builders used steel to make some of the first skyscrapers. 40 . In the 1900s new processes made steel-making easier. Today steel remains one of the most popular building materials in the world. A. This added carbon to the iron. B. Steel is quite different from iron. C. The hardened steel may then be made into products. D. Steel is basically iron mixed with a little carbon. E. Then they will be cooled and put on the market. F. To make steel, workers hear iron until it melts. G. They also used steel to make large, modern bridges. 第三部分 英语知识运用（共三节，满分 55 分） 第一节 完形填空（共 20 小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分 30 分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（）A、B、C 和 D）中，选出可以填入空白处 的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 I sat down at my desk and tried to focus on my studies.
