Lucky enters to win. I enter to get out of peeling potatoes for our Thanksgiving dinner at home.‎ The program this year took place last week as usual. Everything went along well in the morning. Lucky made a Mayflower and I made a Turkey.‎ However, when we got back after lunch, something unexpected happened. The mainsail of his Mayflower was lying on the table in a puddle of water. I glanced at my Turkey I had made. It had barely begun to melt!‎ ‎“What happened?” I asked. “Did you bump the table when you left?”‎ ‎“No! I just have rotten luck,” he wailed (哀叹), for the rest of the ship he had made began to melt too. “This can’t be just a case of bad luck,” I said, looking around for something that could have caused the destruction.‎ ‎“Something must have happened,” I said. Lucky’s eyes widened. “You think someone did this on purpose?”‎ I shrugged. “Maybe. It makes more sense than bad luck.”‎ Lucky peered around the room. “Hey,” he whispered. “That kid never left the room for the snack break. Maybe he smashed my Mayflower!”‎ I frowned. “I don’t know, Lucky. He doesn’t really seem the type.”‎ ‎“Haven’t you heard the saying ‘Looks can be deceiving’?” Lucky said, his voice rising. “He probably broke my ship while everyone was gone!”‎ I stared at the ruined Mayflower and shook my head. “It doesn’t look broken, though. It looks more…disintegrated (使分解). Lucky, don’t jump to any…”‎ ‎“I’m telling on that kid!” Lucky interrupted. He charged off, his face as red as cranberry sauce.‎ ‎“...conclusions,” I said. With a sigh, I turned to the shipwreck and placed the melting mainsail back in its original spot. I held it there, thinking, until my fingers turned as cold as the ice. “Yeowch!” I said, dropping the mainsail and sticking my frozen fingers into my mouth.‎ It was in that instant that the puzzle was solved.‎ ‎21. Why does the writer take part in the “Ice Sculpting for Kids” program?‎ A. He wants to beat Lucky to win the prize.‎ B. He hates to celebrate the Thanksgiving Day.‎ C. He wants to avoid working on Thanksgiving Day.‎ D. He wants to peel more potatoes for Thanksgiving Day.‎ ‎22. Why did Lucky rushed to tell on the kid?‎ A. Because the kid damaged Mayflower on purpose.‎ B. Because Lucky’s Turkey was damaged by the kid.‎ C. Because the kid was away during their snack break.‎ D. Because the kid was the suspect who ruined their works.‎ ‎23. What will the following paragraphs probably be about? ‎ A. The punishment for the kid.‎ B. The true winner of the program.‎ C. The mystery of the ruined Mayflower.‎ D. The reconstruction of the ruined Mayflower.‎ B A good hiking trip should be planned out ahead of time. Whether it is a hike on a mountain trail (路线) or through the woods, an enjoyable hiking trip can easily turn into a dangerous situation if safety is not considered well. North Mountain State Park recommends hikers consider the following tips before hitting any trails:‎ Make a copy of your itinerary to give to a family member or a friend. Make sure that someone close to you knows where you are and how long you will be gone.‎ Wear a good pair of hiking boots or strong athletic shoes. The right shoes will keep you safe, warm, and comfortable.‎ Prepare for various types of weather conditions. Check the forecast before you leave; take along sunglasses and extra clothing (e.g., a hat and /or a jacket for a day hike).‎ Pack plenty of food and water. Consider how long your hike will be and pack accordingly.‎ Pack basic and essential supplies. Bring a first-aid kit (急救箱), a flashlight, a pocket knife, a map of the area (if available), and a compass. You may need other supplies, such as matches, depending on the length of your hike.‎ Determine what time the sun sets. This information is available in most local newspapers. Most people become lost after nightfall, so it is important to know this information in advance.‎ Stay on properly marked trails. Stay on established trails to decrease the chances of becoming lost. Staying on established trails also lowers the risk of doing harm to rare and endangered plants.‎ Carry a whistle. Using a loud whistle is a good way to call attention to your location if you get lost. ‎ Keep an eye out for wildlife. Do not approach animals in the wild, even if they seem friendly.‎ The Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission (WSPRC) manages a diverse system of more than 120 parks. The 90-year-old park system, which receives nearly 48 million visits a year, ranks 4th nationally in day-use attendance, 10th in overnight attendance, and the WSPRC has a smaller budget than most states.‎ ‎24. The underlined word “itinerary” in Paragraph 2 probably means ________.‎ A. a goal B. an address C. a phone book D. a travel plan ‎25. According to the text, if hikers ignore what time the sun sets, they might________.‎ A. have difficulty finding supplies B. need extra clothing C. be attacked by wild animals D. become lost ‎26. What can we learn about WSPRC?‎ A. It’s only accessible during summer months.‎ B. It’s operated very well.‎ C. It provides trails and wildlife protection.‎ D. It provides search and rescue services.‎ ‎27. The purpose of the text is to _______.‎ A. attract people’s interest in the park B. explain the hiking routes C. explain how to be safe when hiking D. introduce various kinds of parks to visitors C A Canadian study suggests that current sodium intake levels are relatively safe for most Americans and that reducing them to the very low levels recommended by federal health officials and leading medical groups may harm a significant number.‎ The current average sodium consumption in the United States is about 3,400 milligrams (there are 1,000 milligrams in one gram) per day. This is about the amount of sodium in about 1.5 teaspoons of salt. Dietary guidelines offered by the federal government and leading medical groups recommend reducing the average to 2,300 milligrams for the general population and 1,500 for groups considered at greater risk, like adults older than 50, African-Americans, and people with high blood pressure, among others.‎ However, previous studies have found little evidence to support those low recommended sodium targets. There is considerable evidence that lowering sodium can reduce blood pressure, but there is scant (少量的) evidence that reducing sodium consumption will necessarily reduce the risk of heart attacks, strokes (中风) and death.‎ Now a large study by researchers at McMaster University in Ontario, Canada, which tracked more than 100,000 people from 17 countries on five continents, has found that the safest levels of sodium intake are between 3, 000 and 6,000 milligrams. Consumption below that level showed increased risk of death and cardiovascular (心血管的) events. Roughly 10 percent of the patients followed in the study fell below 3,000 milligrams, a sizable number to put at risk.‎ Brian Strom, honorary head of biomedical and health sciences at Rutgers University, who led a group of experts who reviewed the data on sodium for the Institute of Medicine last year, said that the new McMaster data are among the best available and that no study has shown a benefit from reducing sodium consumption to below 2,300 milligrams a day.‎ That does not mean individuals whose sodium intake is high should not take steps to bring it down. The McMaster researchers say that if your blood pressure rises beyond the normal level (140/90 or higher)‎ ‎ or your sodium intake is high, you should reduce sodium consumption, perhaps even to below 5, 000 milligrams.‎ ‎28. For healthy elderly people, the US government recommends sodium intake_______.‎ A. 1,500 milligrams daily B. 2,300 milligrams daily C. 3,000 milligrams daily D. 3,400 milligrams daily ‎29. According to the study, consuming less than 3,000 milligrams of sodium a day _______.‎ A. is beneficial for most patients B. may help prevent heart disease C. may be harmful to your health D. is especially helpful for Americans ‎30. What is Strom’s attitude towards the research findings?‎ A. He is doubtful about them.‎ B. He is uncertain of them.‎ C. He tolerates them.‎ D. He supports them.‎ ‎31. What is the Canadian scientists’ advice for high blood pressure patients?‎ A. Follow the government's dietary guidelines.‎ B. Lower sodium intake to a reasonable level.‎ C. Join one of the leading medical groups.‎ D. Have physical examinations regularly.‎ D Across Britain, burnt toast will be served to mothers in bed this morning as older sons and daughters rush to deliver their supermarket bunches of flowers. But, according to a new study, we should be placing a higher value on motherhood all year.‎ Mothers have long known that their home workload was just as heavy as paid work. Now, the new study has shown that if they were paid for their parental labours, they would earn as much as $ 172,000 a year.‎ The study looked at the range of jobs mothers do, as well as the hours they are working, to determine the figure. This would make their yearly income $ 30,000 more than the Prime Minister earns.‎ By analysing the numbers, it found the average mother works 119 hours a week, 40 of which would usually be paid at a standard rate and 79 hours as overtime. After questioning 1,000 mothers with children under 18, it found that, on most days, mums started their routine work at 7am and finished at around 11pm.‎ To calculate just how much mothers would earn from that labour, it suggested some of the roles that mums could take on, including housekeeper, part-time lawyer, personal trainer and entertainer. Being a part-time lawyer, at £ 48.98 an hour, would prove to be the most profitable of the “mum jobs”, with psychologist (心理学家) a close second.‎ It also asked mothers about the challenges they face, with 80 percent making emotional demand as the hardest thing about motherhood.‎ Over a third of mums felt they needed more training and around half said they missed going out with friends.‎ The study shows mothers matter all year long and not just on Mother’s Day. The emotional, physical and mental energy mothers devote to their, children can be never-ending, but children are also sources of great joy and happiness. Investing (投入) in time for parenting and raising relationships is money well spent.‎ ‎32. How much would a mother earn a year if working as the Prime Minister?‎ A. £ 30,000. B. £ 142,000. C. £ 172,000. D. £ 202,000.‎ ‎33. The biggest challenge for most mothers is from .‎ A. emotional demand B. low pay for work C. heavy workload D. lack of training ‎34. What is stressed in the last paragraph?‎ A. Mothers’ importance shows in family all year long.‎ B. The sacrifices mothers make are huge but worthwhile.‎ C. Mothers’ devotion to children can hardly be calculated.‎ D. Investing time in parenting would bring a financial return.‎ ‎35. What can we conclude from the study?‎ A. Mothers’ working hours should be largely reduced.‎ B. Mothers should balance their time for work and rest.‎ C. Mothers’ labour is of a higher value than it is realized.‎ D. Mothers should be freed from housework for social life.‎ 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。‎ While you are travelling abroad, cultural mistakes are more serious than linguistic mistakes, which can lead to serious misunderstanding and even ill-feeling between individuals. ___36___‎ ‎●Touching Someone ‎____37___ In Mediterranean countries, if you don’t touch someone’s arm when talking to them or if you don’t greet them with kisses or a warm hug, you’ll be considered cold. But backslap (拍背) someone who isn’t a family member or a good friend in Korea, and you’ll make them uncomfortable. In Thailand, the head is considered sacred - never even pat a child on the head.‎ ‎●Talking Over Dinner In some countries, like China, Japan and some African nations, the food’s die thing, so don’t start chatting about your day’s adventures while everyone else is digging into dinner. __38___ It’s not because your group is unfriendly, but because meal times are for eating, not talking.‎ ‎●Removing Your Shoes or Not Take off your shoes when arriving at the door of a London dinner party and the hostess will find you uncivilized, but fail to remove your shoes before entering a home in Asia, Hawaii, or the Pacific Islands and you’ll be considered disrespectful. So, if you see a row of shoes at the door, start undoing your laces. ___39___‎ Once you are on the ground of a different country, remain highly sensitive to native behavior. ___40___ And don’t feel offended if something seems offensive - like queue jumping. After all, this is a global village, and we are all very different.‎ A. If not, keep the shoes on.‎ B. You’ll likely be met with silence.‎ C. Never be completely surprised by anything.‎ D. Personal space varies as you travel the globe.‎ E. Asians consider removing shoes impolite at home.‎ F. Look out for the following cultural mistakes and try to avoid them.‎ G.
