And obviously, such places do exist. The United Nations World Tourism Organization lately reported the four least-visited countries globally.‎ Liechtenstein (69,000)‎ The sixth smallest country in the world is also one of the most undiscovered.‎ Lying between Austria and Switzerland, Liechtenstein is an outdoor enthusiast’s playground. It’s the only country in the world to be totally in the Alps and a summer destination for hiking and cycling and snow-covered skiing perfection in winter, for those who can afford it.‎ French Guiana (199,000)‎ French Guiana is the least-visited country in South America, with some of the world’s most diverse plant and animal life.‎ While there is much to attract tourists to the area, not least its miles of jungle,‎ ‎ the construction is in need of some attention.‎ Montserrat (9,000)‎ Once a popular holiday spot, this Lesser Antilles island has never quite recovered from a series of natural disasters. Hurricane Hugo in 1989 hit 90 per cent of the island and in 1995 the Soufriere Hills volcano erupted.‎ These days, its volcano is now actually one of Montserra’s main attractions, together with its beautiful beaches. Visitors can also go diving in its clear waters.‎ Comoros (24,000)‎ This collection of islands in the Indian Ocean near Madagascar serves as the perfect destination for those who want to get away from everyday city life.‎ Comoros offers beautiful volcanic scenery, fruitful forests, and remote sleepy towns. There are even some of the best undiscovered reefs（礁）just waiting to be explored by divers.‎ ‎21. Which country is the best choice for snow skiing lovers?‎ A. Montserrat. B. Comoros. C. Liechtenstein. D. French Guiana.‎ ‎22. What do we know about French Guiana?‎ A. It has a rich diversity of species. B. Its construction is new and advanced.‎ C. It is the least-visited country in the world. D. Its most popular attraction is large areas of jungle.‎ ‎23. What do Montserrat and Comoros have in common?‎ A. They have thick forests. B. They are destinations for divers.‎ C. They have recovered from natural disasters. D. They were badly destroyed by volcanic eruptions.‎ B The morning had been a disaster. My tooth was aching, and I’d been in an argument with a friend. Her words still hurt: “The trouble with you is that you won’t put yourself in my place. Can’t you see things from my point of view?” I shock my head ‎ stubbornly --- and felt the ache in my tooth. I’d thought I could hold out till my dentist came back from holiday, but the pain was really unbearable. I started calling the dentists in the phone book, but no one could see me immediately. Finally, at about lunchtime, I got lucky.‎ ‎“If you come by right now,” the receptionist said, “the dentist will fit you in.”‎ I took my purse and keys and rushed to my car. But suddenly I began to doubt about the dentist. What kind of dentist would be so eager to treat someone at such short notice? Why wasn’t he as busy as the others?‎ In the dentist’s office, I sat down and looked around. I saw nothing but the bare walls and I became even more worried. The assistant noticed my nervousness and placed her warm hand over my ice-cold one.‎ When I told her my fears, she laughed and said, “Don’t worry. The dentist is very good.”‎ ‎“How long do I have to wait for him?” I asked impatiently.‎ ‎“Come on, he is coming. Just lie down and relax. And enjoy the artwork.” the assistant said.‎ ‎“The artwork?” I was puzzled.‎ The chair went back. Suddenly I smiled. There was a beautiful picture, right where I could enjoy it: on the ceiling. How considerate the dentist was! At that moment, I began to understand what my friend meant by her words.‎ What a relief!‎ ‎24. Which of the following best describes the author's feeling that morning?‎ A. Cheerful. B. Nervous. C. Satisfied. D. Upset.‎ ‎25. Will made the author begin to doubt about the dentist?‎ A. The dentist’s agreeing to treat her at very short notice.‎ B. The dentist’s being as busy as the other dentists.‎ C. The surroundings of the dentist’s office.‎ D. The laughing assistant of the dentist.‎ ‎26. Why did the author suddenly smile?‎ A. Because the dentist came at last. B. Because she saw a picture on the ceiling.‎ C. Because she could relax in the chair. D. Because the assistant kept comforting her.‎ ‎27. What did the author learn from her experience most probably?‎ A. Strike while the iron is hot. B. Have a good word for one’s friend.‎ C. Put oneself in others’ shoes. D. A friend in need is a friend indeed.‎ C The vast majority of us spend our entire lives pulled down by gravity. Then there are astronauts.‎ This small population of space travelers has given researchers a rare look at what happens to the human body when it’s able to spend large amounts of time outside the downward pull of the Earth. This week, a study on one of the largest groups of astronauts yet ---34 participants---was published in The New England Journal of Medicine.‎ In the new study, a team of international radiologists supported by NASA looked at MRIs of the brains of astronauts before and after their trips to space. The scientists found that upon returning to Earth, many of the astronauts’ brains had become repositioned inside their skulls, floating higher than before. In addition, the space between certain brain areas appeared to have shrunk. The changes were more common in astronauts who took longer trips into space.‎ The team characterized astronaut trips as short (an average of less than14 days) or long (an average of about 165 days). Radiologists who didn't know each astronaut's duration（持续时间）in space compared MRIs from before and after their trips.‎ Of the 34 total astronauts involved in the study, 18 took long trips to space---spending most of that time on the International Space Station ---and of those, 17 returned to Earth with smaller areas between the frontal lobe（脑前额叶）and ‎ parietal lobe（顶叶）. The same area of the brain also shrank for three of the 16 astronauts who took shorter trips with the US Space Shuttle Program. The researchers also found that 12 of the ISS astronauts and six of the space-shuttle astronauts returned home with their brains sitting slightly higher in their skulls than before.‎ It’s not clear what, if anything, these brain changes mean for the health of space travelers. In general, it appears the human body tolerates space travel fairly well: the time astronauts have spent in zero-gravity environments so far doesn’t seem to have had any strong or long-lasting effects.‎ ‎28. What is the finding of the study?‎ A. Astronauts have great brain power. B. Astronauts’ duration in space is updated.‎ C. Astronauts’ skulls expand after space trips. D. Astronauts return to Earth with raised brains.‎ ‎29. How did the scientists draw the conclusion?‎ A. By analyzing astronauts’ symptoms. B. By comparing each astronaut’s MRIs.‎ C. By monitoring astronauts’ brain activities. D. By observing countless astronauts’ behaviors.‎ ‎30. What does the author say about the changes inside astronauts’ skulls?‎ A .They are totally harmless. B. Their effects are hard to assess.‎ C. Their occurrence is unavoidable. D. They will heavily influence astronauts.‎ ‎31. What is the best title for the text?‎ A. Effects of zero gravity B. Valuable experiences of space travel C. Space travel changes astronauts’ brains D. Flying long house increases health risks D It happened to me recently. I was telling someone how much I had enjoyed reading ‎ Barack Obama’s Dreams From My Father and how it had changed my views of our President. A friend I was talking to agreed with me that it was, in his words ,“a brilliantly written book” However, he then went on to talk about Mr. Obama in a way which suggested he had no idea of his background at ail. I sensed that I was talking to a book liar.‎ And it seems that my friend is not the only one. Approximately two thirds of people have lied about reading a book which they haven’t. In the World Book Day’s “Report on Guilty Secrets”, Dreams From My Father is at number 9. The report lists ten books, and various authors, which people have lied about reading, and as I’m not one to lie too often (I’d hate to be caught out), I will admit here and now that I haven’t read the entire top ten. But I’m pleased to say that, unlike 42 percent of people, I have read the book at number one ,Gorge Orwell’s 1984. I think it’s really brilliant.‎ The World Book Day report also has some other interesting information in it. It says that many people lie about having read Jane Austin Austen, Charles Dickens, Fyodor Dostoevsky (I haven't read him, but haven’t lied about it either) and Herman Melville.‎ Asked why they lied, the most common reason was to “impress” someone they are speaking to. This could be tricky if the conversation became more in-depth!‎ But when asked which authors they actually enjoy, people named J.K. Rowling, John Grisham, Sophie Kinsella (ah, the big sellers, in other words). Forty-two percent of people asked admitted they turned to the back of the book to read the end before finishing this story (I will come clean: I do this and am astonished that 58 percent said they had never done so.).‎ ‎32. How did the author find his friend a book liar?‎ A. By judging his manner of speaking. B. By looking into his background.‎ C. By mentioning a famous name. D. By discussing the book itself.‎ ‎33. Which of the following is a “guilty secret” according to the World Book Day report?‎ A. Charles Dickens is very low on the top-ten list. B. 42% of people ‎ pretended to have read 1984.‎ C. The author admitted having read 9 books. D. Dreams From My Father is hardly read.‎ ‎34. By lying about reading, a person hopes to ________.‎ A. control the conversation B. appear knowledgeable C. learn about the book D. make more friends ‎35. What is the author’s attitude to 58% of readers?‎ A. Favorable. B. Uncaring. C. Doubtful. D. Friendly.‎ 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。‎ Curiosity is at the heart of lifelong learning. It not only gives children an advantage in school, but today’s business leaders agree that it's also at the heart of successful organizations.‎ Psychologists view curiosity as a life force, vital to happiness, intellectual growth, and well-being. 36 It points students toward the knowledge, skills, relationships, and experiences that they need to live full and productive lives.‎ ‎1. 37 ‎ Often, the temptation（诱惑）is to benefit students when their curiosity leads to a desired outcome or good grade. But it’s more important to notice and strengthen curiosity when you see it in action. When you praise students by describing how their questions and explorations are contributing to their own or classroom learning, you let them know that they are valued for their motivation, regardless of the grade they achieve.‎ ‎2. Teach students how to ask quality questions.‎ Quality questions are vital for curiosity; Google, is great at finding answers but doesn’t motivate the formation of questions. 38 An excellent book for understanding the art of questioning is A More Beautiful Question by Warren Berger.‎ ‎3. Spread the curiosity around.‎ ‎ 39 Curiosity is influential in groups working toward a real-world common ‎ goal, helping to inspire questions and new ideas.‎ ‎4. Explore a variety of cultures and societies.‎ How is one culture or society uniquely different from another one? Encourage students to explore their genetic or emotional links to other cultures. 40 ‎ A. Value and reward curiosity.‎ B. Teach students to be critical.‎ C. Good questions contain “why,” “what if,” and “how”.‎ D. Why do they relate to certain beliefs or values that other societies hold?‎ E. The greatest advantage of curiosity lies in its power to motivate learning.‎ F. Create opportunities for more curious and less curious students to work together in learning.‎ G. How can students create a new poem, science experiment or product from their explorations?‎ 第三部分 语言知识运用（百强校英语解析团队专供）（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节（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A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ There is usually a turn at some point where we will need to look toward the future. But how do we make a 41 and set ourselves up for success?‎ I recently brought this 42 to a friend of mine, David, who advises and invests in companies.

Raul was in the driver’s seat. He was going to 54 the race, against al difficulties, and the only way he was going to do it was by 55 ahead, not behind. Setting ourselves up for success, is to actually focus on the 56 at hand. What’s behind us is not important; being 57 is.‎ so I challenge you to think about your last big win, or even big loss, and be 58 with yourself. Have you allowed yourself to fully seize your next opportunity, or are you still thinking of old memories, old 59 ? Or, are you focusing all your attention on the now and the 60 ?
