The news that all teachers were expected to attend camp with their students left me feeling unsettled. For the first time in more than 20 years, I would need to spend three days in the early autumn bush with 120 14-year-olds.

I love spending time with teenagers. But I teach Grade 12 English and am 51

years old. There is a difference between a literary seminar on King Lear, no matter how lively it may be, and late-night party in a campground. Besides, my idea of “outdoors” is biking on the Ottawa bike paths or sitting in the backyard with a cup of tea and a good book.

Eventually, we turn down a long dirt track that dives deep into a forest. I read the schedule and note the impressive minute-by-minute detail for the next 72 hours. I’ve never faced such a structured(高度组织化的) time since, well, when I went to camp in Grade 9. I think of home.

The next morning, I arise early. It is 7 a.m. Time for the polar bear dip. Everyone asks if I am going to swim. I respond with lame excuses and then wander, like a Grade 8 boy at the edges of a middle-school dance. Kids charge in, great plumes(股流) of water rising up around them as they shout with joy. My colleagues link arms, count down and run into the water bravely. Toweling off, the swimmers discuss the water temperature. The regret that I knew I would feel starts to kill me. I will now forever be the guy who did not take part in the polar bear dip. I walk slowly up to the dining hall and decide that from that moment on I will commit fully to camp life. My unwillingness to do anything is replaced with a burning desire to do everything.

At 7 a.m. the next morning, I am the first person on the beach in my bathing suit.

I dive into the water. I scream about how good it feels. Toweling off afterward, I talk to anyone within earshot about the temperature of the water.

Later that day, the camp winds down. Something has happened in this camp. To the students, for sure, but also to me. When the last camper leaves, I give the camp director a big hug.

24. How did the author feel before the camp?

A. Angry.

B. Disappointed.

C. Anxious.

D. Excited.

25. Why does the author mention the literary seminar in Paragraph2?

A. To stress its liveliness.

B. To explain its topic.

C. To introduce his preference.

D. To show its similarity to camping.

26.Why does the author decide to devote himself to camping?

A. He is fed up with making excuses.

B. He hates to be regret-stricken.

C. He desires to show off his swimming skills.

D. He is encouraged to do so by his colleagues.

27. What happened to the author at the end of the camp?

A. He has used up his energy.

B. He misses home very much.

C. He turns into a camp director.

D. He has become a camp lover.

C

Genealogy, or researching your family tree, is a hobby that can rapidly develop into an obsession. Before you start looking for your own ancestors, read this advice from genealogist Maria McLeod.

The first question to ask yourself is why you want to research your family tree. Genealogy is not about discovering that you are the lost prince or princess of an

unknown kingdom. It’s about finding more about yourself. For most people the important question is “Why am I like I am?” You might not look like other members of your immediate family and you want to know where your green eyes or curly hair come from. You may be curious about why you have such a quick temper. You may even be suffering from a medical condition and want to know if something in your genetic makeup has caused it.

Another common motivation for researching your family tree is that you plan to visit the place that your ancestors came from and you secretly hope that you will find some long lost cousins with whom you can share your memories. There can be few more exciting things than meeting a distant cousin who is living on the other side of the globe and finding that she looks just like your younger sister. But you should also bear in mind that they may not necessarily want to have anything to do with you. Sometimes there are skeletons in the cupboard that you and your branch of the family are unaware of, but which are still fresh in the minds of your more distant relatives.

Once you are clear about your motivations, you need to take a moment to think about just how many ancestors you might have and how far back you intend to go. You have, no doubt, thought about your parents’ parents and your parents’ parents’ parents. But go back ten generations and the picture becomes much more complicated. You can work it out for yourself. You may be descended(遗传) from no fewer than 1,024 people through ten generations. This can mean that you spend hours going through official records, either in person at the records office or on the Internet. Are you prepared for such a huge task?

28. What might be Maria Mcleod’s first piece of advice be?

A. Be prepared to accept your bad temper.

B. Don’t expect to find lovely relatives.

C. Be prepared to find out your hidden health problems.

D. Don’t expect to find out you are a member of a royal family.

29. Why are some relatives unwilling to meet you?

A. You may bring back bad memories.

B. They find it disturbing to entertain you.

C. They suspect you of having wrong motives.

D. You could remind them of their lost loved ones.

30. What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to?

A. Who your great grandparents are.

B. When you can finish your huge task.

C. Why researching a family tree is complex.

D. How many people you are descended from.

31. What is the best title for the text?

A. Uncovering family secrets: do you dare?

B. The science of genealogy: new developments

C. Expert opinions on researching your family past

D. A step-by-step guide to researching your family tree

D

Now the reason cooking has become so popular, especially among men, is that the kitchen is the new workshop. Deprived（剥夺）of the requirement to practice his hands-on skills in wood or metal, the modern man turns to the chopping-board worktop instead —previously this was more li kely to be the woman’s area. It involves tools, process and planning, and satisfies a natural desire to produce something.

I like fooling about in the kitchen, to be honest. Last night, tired of too many visits to over-priced restaurants, I tried to do something a bit clever with meats and vegetables. It was all right, I suppose. I mean, my guest and I both ate it, but in a slightly awkward sort of way. It was all a bit brown. More to the point, it took hours and hours that could have been spent on something more constructive, such as mending the cooker. There are also three dead motorcycles in the garage, and they’re not going to repair themselves. I therefore recommend the “Strength Through Simplicity” cooking style-the new stage of culinary(烹饪的) progress shall be the garage.

I’m hoping to introduce the idea of garage cooking in a new TV series and, as usual, would welcome any suggestions; anything suitable for consumption by a man who has one reasonably clean hand and one coated with machine oil he’d rathe r not put near his face. This is not, in fact, without precedent(先例) I’ve been in a factory in India where the workers baked breads on the tops of hot machines, and they somehow tasted better for being a by-product of industrial effort.

Tonight I’ve had an oil change with a side of chain adjustment accompanied by beans and sausages.

32.According to the author, why are men increasingly interested in cooking?

A. They find it more enjoyable than working in a workshop.

B. They now have fewer opportunities to create things.

C. It is now more socially acceptable for men to cook.

D. Women are generally spending less time cooking.

33.What does the author think of the meal he prepared last night?

A. He didn’t practice his cooking skill fully.

B. He should have used the restaurant recipe.

C. He could have used the cooking time better.

D. He didn’t receive any encouragement from his guest.

34. What does the author most probably do?

A. A media worker.

B. A restaurant critic.

C. A cook.

D. An engineer.

35. What does the author want to imply by using the example of India workers?

A. The wisdom of industrial workers has been overlooked.

B. Skills learnt in a factory can be applied in cooking a meal.

C. Food cooked in a garage tastes as delicious as that from a kitchen.

D. Meals have previously been prepared in unusual workplace settings.

Though it’s somewhat mysterious, sleep talking is a common phenomenon. 36 (and less than 10% do it every day). And roughly 67% of adults talk in their sleep at least once

every three months. It often runs in families and tends to be more common among men.

37 — ranging from mumbling（咕噜）to complete sentences. Sometimes it may seem as though the sleep-talker is giving a speech, while at other times it can sound as though the person is carrying on a conversation with someone else. The chatter can occur during any stage of sleep.

If a friend or family member has ever told you that you talk in your sleep, your first concern might be whether you said something offensive or let out a long-held secret. 38 , as far as your health is concerned.

Sleep talking is considered a sleep disorder. In terms of what causes it, inadequate sleep, alcohol or drug use, illness, stress, anxiety, and depression are common causes of such unconscious thinking. 39 . In rare situations, sleep talking is associated with a psychiatric disorder(精神障碍).

If you’re frequently waking up tired, or you feel overwhelmed or sad most of the time, it's worth talking to your doctor about sleep talking. 40 . If you talk in your sleep only occasionally and you are not experiencing symptoms of any other sleep disorders or health conditions, then it's probably nothing to worry about.

A. It can be annoying to be a sleep-talker

B. Sleep talking can vary considerably in its content

C. About half of kids talk in their sleep at least once a year

D. Just make sure that it isn’t a red flag or another health problem

E. Therefore, for most people it is a rare and short-lived occurrence

F. Your second thought might be whether sleep talking is something to worry about

When I was in the four grade, everyone knew that I was a best speller in the class.

I was so confident in my spelling abilities that I decided not study for my next spelling test.

Everything in the test was OK until my English teacher says “Handkerchief”. I forgot the last three letter. It occurred to me that my deskmate knew the word. My eyes rolled to the right, and then went quickly back to her own paper. I remained nervously because I had cheated. At the end of the test, I erased that I had written earlier and replaced it for the wrong answer. Though I didn’t keep my perfect scores, but at least I kept my honesty.
