It may be walking, cycling or swimming, or in winter, skating or skiing. It may be a game of some form---football, basketball, hockey, golf or tennis. It may be mountaineering.‎ Those who have a passion for climbing high and difficult mountains are often looked upon with surprise. Why are men and women willing to suffer cold and hardship, and to take risks in high mountains? This astonishment is caused, probably, by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activity to which men give their free time.‎ Mountaineering is a sport and not a game. There are no man-made rules, as others, as there are for such games as golf and football. There are, of course, rules of different kinds which would be dangerous to ignore, but it is this freedom from man-made rules that makes mountaineering attractive to many people. Those who climb mountains are free to use their own methods.‎ If we compare mountaineering with other more familiar sports, we might think that one big difference is that mountaineering is not a “team game”. We should be mistaken in this. There are, it is true, no “matches” between “teams” of climbers, but when climbers are on a rock face linked by a rope on which their lives may depend, there is obviously teamwork.‎ The mountain climber knows that he may have to fight forces that are stronger and more powerful than man. He has to fight the forces of nature. His sport requires high mental and physical qualities.‎ A mountain climber continues to improve in skills year after year. A skier is probably past his best by the age of thirty. But it is not unusual for men of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in the Alps. They may take more time than younger men, but they perhaps climb with more skills and less waste of effort, and they certainly experience equal enjoyment.‎ ‎21. Mountaineering is a sport, not a game because ________.‎ ‎  A. there is not certain rule for climbers to follow. ‎ ‎  B. it is too dangerous for climbers ‎  C. it can’t bring people joy and leisure              ‎ ‎  D. it has man-made rules.‎ ‎22. According to the author, the only enemy of mountaineers should be _____?‎ A. temperature B. nature C. climate              D. patience ‎23. The underlined word “passion” in Paragraph 2 could be replaced by ________‎ A. enthusiasm B. taste C. gift              D. strength B I travel a lot in my work, and what I dislike about my job is eating alone. It always makes me feel lonely to see others laughing and talking. So, room service for several nights was a better choice for me. ‎ After having room service three nights at a hotel in Houston, however, I needed to get out of my room. Although the restaurant opened at 6:30, I arrived at 6:25. The waiter at the front desk made a comment about my “being there really early”. I explained my dislike of eating alone in restaurants. He then seated me at a lovely table and asked me whether I would mind if he sat down with me for a while. ‎ I was glad! He sat and talked with me about his career goals and the difficulty of being at work on nights, weekends and holidays. He said he hadn’t enough time to be with his family. After 15 minutes, he saw some customers at the front desk and excused himself. I noticed that before he went to the front desk, he stopped in the kitchen for a moment. ‎ Then another waiter came out of the kitchen and had a wonderful chat with me. Before I left that night, some other waiters, even the cook, had come out of the kitchen and sat with me! ‎ When I asked for my bill about one hour later, all the people who had sat down with me came over in a big group to my table, and presented me with a red rose. And I cried! What had begun as a lonely night ended as a beautiful experience. ‎ ‎24. The author wants to tell us that ______.  A. people can get help for their loneliness  B. restaurants should put the need of customers first  C. restaurants are full of surprises D. the kindness of strangers can make you less lonely ‎ ‎25. The reason why the author hated to eat in the hotel restaurant is that ______. ‎ A. he didn’t like the discomfort caused by eating alone ‎ B. he didn’t like being disturbed by the noises around ‎ C. he didn’t like meeting strangers in the restaurant D. he didn’t like being pointed at or laughed at ‎26. How did the waiter feel when he saw the author come in at 6:25? ‎ A. Dissatisfied. B. Surprised. C. Pleased. D. Angry.‎ ‎27. From the third paragraph, we can learn that the waiter at the front desk ______. ‎ A. knew how to attract more customers to his restaurant ‎ B. had never had such a chance to talk about his worries C. was getting tired of his present job ‎ D. found it hard to balance his work and his family ‎ C In the rush to get to school, you drop a piece of toast on the floor. Do you throw it away or decide it’s still OK to eat? If you’re like most people, you eat it. Maybe you follow the “5-second rule”, which says foods are safe to eat if you pick them up within 5 seconds after dropping them. But you might want to think again. Scientists now say that 5 seconds is all it takes for foods to become polluted with enough bacteria（细菌）to make you sick.‎ Bacteria can cause many kinds of illnesses. Some kinds of bacteria can grow on food. If you eat foods on which these bacteria are growing, you can become sick.‎ One of these food-borne bacteria is Salmonella(沙门氏菌). It makes 1.4 million people sick every year. Salmonella is often found in raw eggs and chicken. Cooking kills these bacteria, which is why it is so important to cook eggs, chicken, and other foods thoroughly.‎ But how long does it take these bacteria to pollute food? A team of scientists in South Carolina did an experiment. First, they placed an amount of Salmonella on three surfaces; wood, tile (瓦片), and carpet. They placed a piece of bread and a piece of ‎ bologna（一种大红肠）on each surface for 5, 30, or 60 seconds. After just 5 seconds, both the bread and the bologna picked up enough bacteria to make you sick.‎ So, forget the 5-second rule. If your toast drops on the floor, throw it away and get another piece of clean toast. And next time, be careful not to drop it!‎ ‎28. After dropping a piece of toast, a person who follows the “5-second rule” will_____.‎ ‎ A. get another piece of clean toast quickly and eat it B. eat the toast within 5 seconds and feel pleased C. pick up the toast as quickly as possible and eat it D. throw away dirty toast immediately and go away ‎29. The underlined word “raw” in Paragraph 3 most probably means ______‎ A. delicious B. uncooked C. cheap D. hot ‎30. In which part of a newspaper can you most probably find this passage?‎ ‎ A. Culture B. Technology C. Advertisement D. Health ‎31.What’s the author’s attitude to the “5-second rule” ?‎ ‎ A. Positive B. Active C. Negative D. Cautious ‎ D To travel abroad, we often meet the problem of what to take and how to take it .Take as little as possible. Choose clothes for your use in different kinds of situations and when you have made your final choice, take half of it! It’s always a big problem to take too many things, and anyway if necessary, you can buy what you need in America. Things like jeans, T-shirts and other clothes are good buys in the US. If you hunt around you can usually find something on sale.‎ Whatever baggage you take, make sure it is easy to take .Getting on and off buses and trains, even just changing planes, can be a test if your bags are too heavy or too many .The best way is to take one holdall, like a suitcase or a backpack, and then a smaller bag. Even when you have to check in your hodall, at the airport or bus station, you can keep all your money and documents by your side. It is also a good idea to keep a change of clothing in your shoulder bag in case your suitcase or backpack gets lost by ‎ an airline or a bus company.‎ The means you choose to travel around the US will depend on your money, your time and something else. Since there are certain discounts available to travelers who buy their tickets outside the US, it is a good idea to make travel plans before you go .Also , when you buy your tickets outside the US, you save the eight percent sales tax. Travel is like everything else in America—you have to shop around for the best buys. Never be afraid to ask for the cheapest fare. The clerk seldom offers you the cheapest one.‎ ‎32.What is the writer’s idea about what to take while travelling abroad ？‎ ‎ A. Take as many clothes as possible.‎ B. Take as few things as you can.‎ C. Take only your tickets and money.‎ D. Take whatever you can use in different situations.‎ ‎33. The writer thinks travelers had better put their money and documents in _______.‎ A. a suitcase B. a backpack C. a shoulder bag D. a coat pocket ‎34. From the last paragraph we can learn that _______.‎ ‎ A. travelling around the US will cost you little money.‎ B. buying tickets outside the US is cheaper.‎ C. asking prices is not good manners in the US.‎ D. clerks always see you the cheapest things.‎ ‎35. The passage is mainly about some advice about _____.‎ ‎ A. travelling in America B. shopping in America ‎ C. the means to travel around the US D. the ways to save money in the USA 第二节：七选五型阅读理解（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 从文章后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并将答案标号填写在本题下面相应题号后的横线上。选项中有两项多余选项。‎ Losing weight is tough. For most people, it requires a change in diet, a change in exercise habits, and a change in attitude. 36 ‎ Set healthy goals.‎ If you're overweight and want to change that, the first step is deciding what your target weight is. 37 ‎ Start small.‎ Making major behavior modifications (行为矫正）isn’t something that happens overnight. 38 Commit to eating 5 servings of vegetables a day and exercising 2 days a week for the first week，then add a little more each week.‎ Track your diet and exercise.‎ Now it’s time to start working toward that goal. The best way to stick with your diet and exercise rules is to track it. 39 Or you can do it the old fashioned way and keep a written food and exercise journal. Find what works for you and write down what you’ve accomplished every day.‎ ‎___40____‎ Every month you should take a look at your goal and see what type of progress you have made toward accomplishing it .If you’re not where you want to be，make minor adjustments. Try doing different exercises or cutting back on certain types of foods that you may be eating too much of.‎ Losing weight and keeping it off is a highly personal thing. Find what works for you and stick with it.‎ A. Write down your goal and set a date by which you want to accomplish that goal.‎ B. You might as well start with your own attitude.‎ C. So start with 1-2 things per week and work up from there.‎ D. Here’s how you can accomplish all the three.‎ E. What steps are you going to take to achieve your goal.‎ F. Evaluate and adjust G. There are plenty of Apps that allow you to do this.‎ 第三部分：英语知识运用（共两节满分45分）‎ 第一节： 完形填空（共20题, 每小题1.5分, 满分30分）‎ Though one can change his or her physical appearance with the help of cosmetics(化妆品), honesty is a quality that is not easily gained. 41 when choosing my friends, I look 42 people who value honesty as much as I do.‎ Honesty is much more 43 than physical appearance, because, for me, a friend should be my secret keeper and problem 44 .When I have a problem, I like to ask for 45 from my friends. However, I want to be sure that I can discuss private things with my friends and that they won’t 46 anyone else. Also, I want my friends to give me their 47 opinions. I don’t want them to lie to me or try to 48 the truth. That would only 49 me and make me upset.‎ ‎ In addition, I like being an honest person that people can 50. I believe friends should have a 51 influence on you and help you to better yourself. If I am around someone who often lies, I might pick up his or her bad 52. Then, I would become someone that others can’t trust.‎ ‎ Another 53 is that physical appearance is not always a good reflection（反映） of how someone is on the inside. Your friend’s 54 can’t help you to solve a problem or make you feel 55 when you are feeling bad. However, an honest person with a good personality will 56 your feelings enough to tell you the truth, even when 57 the truth may be difficult. Unlike a good personality, good looks do not last. ‎ ‎ Overall, I believe one’s social life will always be much more 58 if one has an honest friend rather than a physically 59 one. The phrase “Honesty is the best policy” is especially 60 when it comes to keeping lasting friendships.‎ ‎41. A. However B. Therefore C. Anyhow D. Besides ‎42. A. into B. up ‎ C. for ‎ D. down ‎43.
