It is 1,510 miles southwest of its nearest neighbor, St. Helena, and 1, 950 miles west of Africa. Discovered by the Portuguese admiral (上将) of the same name in 1506 and settled in 1810, the island belongs to Great Britain and has a population of a few hundred. ‎ Coming in a close second-and often wrongly mentioned as the most distant land-is Easter Island, which lies 1, 260 miles east of its nearest neighbor. Pitcairn Island, and 2, 300 miles west of South America. ‎ The mountainous 64-square-mile island was settled around the 5th century, supposedly by people who were lost at sea. They had no connection with the outside world for more than a ‎ thousand years, giving them plenty of time to build more than 1, 000 huge stone figures, called moat, for which the island is most famous. ‎ On Easter Sunday, 1722, however, settlers from Holland moved in and gave the island its name. Today, 2,000 people live on the Chilean territory (智利领土). They share one street, a small airport and a few hours of television per day.‎ ‎21. It can be learned from the text that the island‎ of ‎Tristan da Cunha _____.‎ A. was named after its discoverer ‎ B. got its name from Holland settlers ‎ C. was named by the British government D. got its name from the Guinness Book of Records ‎22. Which of the following is most famous for moat?‎ A. Tristan da Cunha. ‎ B. Pitcairn Island. ‎ C. Easter Island. ‎ D. St. Helena.‎ ‎23. Which country does Easter Island belong to?‎ A. Britain. ‎ B. Holland. ‎ C. Portugal. ‎ D. Chile.‎ B Humans are naturally drawn to other life forms and the worlds outside of our own. We take delight in the existence of creatures and even whole societies beyond our everyday lives. ‎ This sense of wonder is universal. Look at the efforts that scientists have made to find out whether life of some kind exists on Mars, and the popularity of fantasy literature or movies like The Lord of the Rings. This sense of wonder draws us to each other, to the world around us, and to the world of make-believe. But have we gone so far in creating worlds of fantasy that we are missing the pleasure of other worlds that already exist all around us? ‎ Human beings, as biologists have suggested, possess an inborn desire to connect with and understand other life forms. However, people, especially in big cities, often lead rather isolated ‎ lives. In a study of British schoolchildren, it was found that children by age eight were much more familiar with characters from television shows and video games than with common wildlife. Without modern technology, a small pond could be an amazing world filled with strange and beautiful plants, insects, birds, and animals. When we lack meaningful interaction with the world around us, and sometimes even with our families and friends, we seek to understand and communicate with things that exist only in our imaginations or on a computer screen. ‎ ‎ The world of make-believe is not necessarily bad. But when the world of fantasy becomes the only outlet (出路) for our sense of wonder, then we are really missing something. We are missing a connection with the living world. Other wonderful worlds exist all around us. But even more interesting is that if we look closely enough, we can see that these worlds, in a broad sense, are really part of our own.‎ ‎24. The popularity of The Lord of the Rings proves _____.‎ A. the close connection between man and the fantasy world ‎ B. the wonderful achievements of fantasy literature ‎ C. the fine taste of moviegoers around the world ‎ D. the general existence of the sense of curiosity ‎25. What can we infer from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3?‎ A. People are far less familiar with the world of fantasy.‎ B. The world around us could serve as a source of wonder.‎ C. The world of fantasy can be mirrored by a small and lively pond. ‎ D. Modern technology prevents us from developing our sense of wonder.‎ ‎26. If our sense of wonder relies totally on the world of make-believe, we will _____.‎ A. fail to appreciate the joy in our lives ‎ B. be confused by the world of make-believe ‎ C. miss the chance to recognize the fantasy world ‎ D. be trapped by other worlds existing all around us ‎27. What is the main purpose of the passage?‎ A. To show us the hidden beauty in our world.‎ B. To warn us not to get lost in the fantasy world. ‎ C. To argue against the misuse of the sense of wonder. ‎ D. To discuss the influence of the world of make-believe.‎ C Most of us have gone away from “mad men” in the street only to realize that they are in fact using a Bluetooth headset. Now a new University‎ of ‎Pennsylvania study shows that muttering can actually help people find lost objects—in other words saying the name of an object helps you find it more quickly.‎ Previous work has suggested that speaking aloud while performing step-by-step tasks like tying shoelaces (鞋带) can help kids guide their behavior and let them focus on the job in hand. However scientists were not sure if speaking aloud when performing tasks could help adults in the same way especially when looking for particular objects. Professor Gary Lupan and Daniel Swingley, writing for the Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, carried out some experiments. They hoped to give the fact that next time you lose your keys muttering “keys keys keys” can in fact help you find them.‎ Inspired by viewing people muttering to themselves as they try to find things like peanut butter in a supermarket the researchers conducted two experiments to see if this actually worked. In the first participants were shown 20 pictures of various objects and were asked to find a certain one with some seeing a text label telling them what they were looking for. These participants were then asked to search for the object again while saying the word to themselves with results showing that saying it aloud helped people find the object more quickly.‎ The second experiment saw participants performing a shopping task where they were shown photographs of items commonly found on supermarket shelves. They were asked to find all examples of a particular item so if they were asked for apples they had to find all the bags of apples as quickly as possible. The researchers found that there was also an advantage in saying the name of the product aloud when they were searching for something familiar.‎ The University‎ of ‎Pennsylvania study shows that muttering can actually help people reach the target object—in other words muttering to oneself helps to focus the mind on something. It works more effectively than seeing a written description. Repeating the word over and over again helps even more.‎ ‎28. The second paragraph tells us that ______.‎ A. muttering helps people to control their behavior B. muttering has the same effect on both kids and adults C. it is really hard to carry out the experiments on adults D. it is easier for kids to do step-by-step tasks by muttering ‎29. According to the passage muttering can help people in a way that ______.‎ A. it completely controls people’s mind ‎ B. it directly explains people’s behavior C. they concentrate more on their job at hand ‎ D. they reduce their pressure from their mind ‎30. The two experiments mentioned in the passage show that ______.‎ A. participants were better at doing the shopping task B. it took the participants the same time to find the objects C. showing pictures of the items helped find them more quickly D. participants saying aloud the word found the object more quickly ‎31. What is the best title of the passage?‎ A. Effects of Muttering ‎ B. How to Find Lost Objects C. What to Mutter to Yourself ‎ D. Methods of Remembering Objects D Why I’ve taken a break from holidays It is now close to four years since I last took a holiday. This is because I have come to the conclusion, over the course of my adult life, that I am not very good at it. You might think this sounds like saying you’re not very good at drinking tea or listening to music. What could possibly be difficult about the natural act of putting your working life on hold for a couple of weeks and going somewhere warm to do nothing?‎ I was a model holidaymaker as a kid. However, the problems started during my twenties. A trip to the south of France was ended after just two days, mainly because I had an urge to check my e-mails. Similarly, my honeymoon was cut short by 48 hours—not because my wife and I weren’t enjoying ourselves, but because we were missing our cats.‎ So what is my problem? On the surface, I’m probably a bit of a homebody. And I just find ‎ the pressure of being on holiday too severe: it always feels like having a gun held to my head and being forced to have fun. Somehow, packing a list of possessions and meeting a scheduled flight has none of the excitement of suddenly deciding to take a day off and driving somewhere for the fun of it.‎ Thankfully, I’m not alone. This summer, most of my friends have decided not to have a break. And a recent survey (调查) proved the downside of holidays, with the results showing that nearly two thirds of people found that the calming effects of a holiday wore off within 24 hours, as stress levels returned to normal. And this year The Idler magazine published its Book of Awful Holidays. Here you will find a list of the five most ecologically-damaging vacations it’s possible to take, along with 50 painful holiday experiences voted for on The Idler website.‎ What interests me is what the concept of a “holiday” says about our lives. For me, the point of living is to have a life you enjoy for 52 weeks a year. The more I like my life and the better I structure it, the less I want to go away. Maybe I’m an unusual person for not liking holidays, but I just feel the time when I’m not working is too valuable to waste on them.‎ ‎32. The events the author describes in the second paragraph show ______.‎ A. how hard he has tried to enjoy holidays ‎ B. how badly he behaves when he is on holiday C. his lack of enthusiasm for being on holiday ‎ D. his fear of something bad when he is on holiday ‎33. What does the author think of holidays?‎ A. They are often well organized in order to please other people.‎ B. He feels embarrassed when other people are having fun but he isn’t.‎ C. He tends to be made responsible for too much of the organization of them.‎ D. They are less enjoyable than breaks that have not been planned in advance.‎ ‎34. The underlined word “downside” in the fourth paragraph probably means ______.‎ A. absence ‎ B. damage ‎ C. disadvantage ‎ D. conflict ‎35. What is the author’s attitude towards “taking a holiday”?‎ A. Disapproving. ‎ B. Supportive. ‎ C. Neutral. ‎ D. Unconcerned.‎ 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。‎ Dogs are great companions for a variety of people. However, there is a wide variety to choose from. 36 Read below for a few basic guidelines to help you find the right dog.‎ ‎●Be aware of your housemates. You’ll first want to think about the people and creatures that you live with. If you have a roommate or family member who is allergic to dogs, doesn’t like them, or simply does not want one, this problem will need to be resolved. Similarly, if you have other pets that are not compatible(和谐共存的) with dogs, you will want to reconsider, 37 ‎ ‎● 38 Once you’ve decided that if it’s possible for you to get a dog, you will need to decide what size of dog is best for you. With a small amount of space, you won’t want to get a very large dog. Many apartments put a cap on dog size, if they even allow dogs at all.‎ ‎●Think about the amount of time you have. 39 Because if you don’t have enough time to give him long walks, then you’ll have problems with training.‎ ‎●Consider your lifestyle. You will also need to think about your life and how a dog will fit into it. A large dog will absolutely require walks to keep healthy and mentally alert, especially if you do not have a large space for them to run around in. 40 If you are constantly traveling or working and spend little time at home, you probably will not have the necessary time to devote to an animal.‎ A. Decide the best size.‎ B. Choose an appropriate age.‎ C. You may find that it is not possible for you to get a dog.‎ D. You will also have better access to the dog’s medical history.‎ E. Different dogs will fit some lifestyles and people better than others.‎ F. Getting a dog that needs lots of exercise when you work a lot is bad.‎ G. Most dogs are very social and require a great deal of attention and live.‎ 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 was doing a big clean-up and my kids were helping.
