第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）

Travel Unaccompanied

Now many young people are traveling around the world on their own, not because they have no one to travel with, but because they prefer to go alone.

Kristina Wegscheider from California first traveled alone when she was at college and believes that it is something everyone should do at least once in their life. “It opens up your mind to new things and pushes you out of your comfort zone.” Wegscheider has visited 46 countries covering all seven continents.

In foreign countries, with no one to help you read a map, look after you if you get ill, or lend you money if your wallet is stolen. It is challenging. This is what drives young people to travel alone.It is seen as character building and a chance to prove that they can make it on their own.

Chris Richardson decided to leave his sales job in Australia to go traveling last year.He set up a website, The Aussie Nomad, to document his adventures. He said he wished he had traveled alone earlier. “The people you meet, the places you visit, or the things you do, everything is up to you and it forces you to grow as a person，” said the 30-year-old.

Richardson describes traveling alone like “a shot in the arm”，which “makes you a more confident person that was ready to deal with anything”. He said: “The feeling of having conquered something on my own is a major part of what drives me each day when I'm dealing with a difficult task. I walk around with my head up because I know deep down inside that nothing is impossible if you try.”

The great 19th century explo rer John Muir once said: “Only by going alone in silence can one truly get into the heart of the wilderness.”

46．Which of the following will Kristina Wegscheider agree with?

A．Traveling alone is a necessary experience for everyone.

B．It is more meaningful to travel in foreign countries.

C．It is comfortable to travel around without a friend.

D．Traveling abroad helps people to find new things.

47．Traveling alone is challenging because ________.

A．it will finally build your character B．you have to make things on your own C．you depend on yourself whatever happens

D．it is hard for you to prove yourself to others

48．What can we infer about Chris Richardson?

A．He started traveling at an early age.B．He was once shot in the arm.

C．His website inspires others a lot.D．He used to work as a salesman.

Oprah Winfrey，born in 1954，is all American talk show host，best known for her multi-award-winning talk show. She is also，according to some assessments，the most influential woman in theworld.

Her television career began unexpectedly. When she was 16 year old，she had the idea of being a journalist to tell other people's stories in a way that made a difference in their lives and the world.She was on television by the time she was 19 years old. And in 1986 she started her own television show with a continuous determination to succeed at first TIME magazine wrote，“People would have doubted Oprah Winfrey's swift rise to host of The most popular talk show on TV .In a field ruled by white males，she is a black female of big size. As interviewers go，she is no match for，say，what she lacks in journalistic toughness.She makes up for in plainspoken curiosity，rich humor and，above all understanding Guests with sad stories to tell tend to bring out a tear in Oprah's eye .They，in turn，often find themselves exposing things they would not imagine telling anyone，much less a national TV audience.”

“I was nervous about the competition and then I became my own competition raising the bar every year，pushing，pushing，pushing myself as hard as I knew. It doesn't matter how far you might rise. At some point you are bound to fall if you're constantly doing what we do, raising the bar. If you're constantly pushing yourself higher，higher the law of averages，you will at some point fall. And when you do

Dogs and cats are not for students who live in the dormitory. Just think about the noise, the smell and all that wild behavior-chewin g on whatever they can get their teeth on, or knocking over the trash can. But don't feel sad. There are smaller and less destructive pets to make your dormitory life colorful.

Betta fish

They make great pets with their big personality and astonishing colors, ranging from bright red, dark blue to lemon yellow. Unlike many fish, most bettas react to their owner's presence and become more active when they are nearby, which is unusual in the fish world.

Chinchillas

Without bad smell, about the size of a rabbit and with fur so dense that they can't get pests such as fleas(跳蚤), the friendly creature originally from the Andes Mountains in South America makes an ideal indoor pet. Chinchillas are very social animals, so if you only have one, you will become its family. In cold winter days, in a glace at this fury pet in a dorm will bring you a lot of warmth.

Land hermit crabs

In a society where owners a re often asked “Are they tasty？”， land hermit crabs are among the most unlucky animals commonly kept as pets. But they are easy to care for, inexpensive and fascinating to watch. And the fact that they don't cause any allergic reactions makes them perfect for college dormitories.

Red-eared sliders

If you're interested in a lifelong friend, a red-eared slider makes a wonderful pet. If well cared for, they can live for around 40 years. But there are a couple of things you should know. Red-eared can grow to an adult size of up to 30cm! So you may need a larger tank quickly. In addition, you will need to provide UV lighting, water heater, and a swimming area and a basking (晒太阳) area. Housing a red eared slider is not easy.

53．All the dormitory pets mentioned in the text are ________.

A．active and allergic B．quiet and peaceful

C．colorful and tasty D．small and smelly

54．Which of the following is NOT true about these creatures?

A．Bettas are active and rich in colors.

B．Chinchillas are originally mountain animals.

C．Land hermit crabs are allergic but tasty.

D．Red-eared sliders need more care from the owner.

55．If you want to keep the pet as long as possible, you'd better choose ________.

A．Betta fish B．Chinchillas C．Land hermit crabs D．Red-eared sliders

56．The text is mainly to ________.

A．introduce the best way to keep pets B．offer useful tips for choosing pets C．inform students of lifestyle of pets D．recommend some dormitory pets

D

Can a Language Become Extinct?

A language can become extinct when the last person who can speak it passes away. Or more likely when the second-last person who speaks it dies because then there is no one left to talk to. According to linguists (语言学家) there is nothing unusual about a single language dying out. But what is happening today is quite remarkable. According to the recent statistics, there are approximately 6,000 languages in the world as we speak. Of these, about half are going to die out in the next century.

There are several reasons as to why a language can eventually die out. These range from natural disasters, such as hurricanes, to sociological factors, like cultural assimilation, in which the culture of a minority group is gradually replaced by a stronger one. The former can cause tribes to leave their natural habitat(栖息地) and therefore become fewer and fewer in number. However, it doesn't happen very frequently. In fact, the latter is a much bigger threat and it is responsible for the extinction of a lot of languages in countries like the USA and Australia. For instance, Chemehuevi is one of the languages which is really close to dying out since its sole speaker is an old, yet healthy, man named Johnny Hill, Jr.

It is very important for as many languages as possible to be preserved. Scientists have been trying to raise people's awareness on how certain tribes have specific words which cannot be expressed in let's say English simply because there is no equal meaning. Namely, the Yupik of Alaska have 99 names to describe different layers of ice formation, or how the Tofa of Siberia classify reindeer (驯鹿). In other words, when languages die out, mankind's wisdom reduces.

On a happier note, there are many famous cases which show what can be done to preserve languages in danger of extinction. In particular, the Maori in New Zealand have created so-called “language nests”： organizations which help children under five learn the language. They provide them with a setting where they are exposed to the language intensively so that they get to realise that communicating in Maori is as natural as communicating in English. There is always, of course, the risk that the children won't keep the language alive after they have left their “nests”. Nevertheless, hope dies hard.

57．What most probably caused the death of languages in the USA and Australia?

A．Habitats were lost. B．Natural disasters struck.

C．Native cultures disappeared. D．Foreign languages were spoken.

58．In Paragraph 3, the author states his opinion by ________

A．listing definitions B．providing examples

C．presenting causes and effects D．comparing with other opinions 59．What does the author really intends to tell us in the last paragraph?

A．Attempts may not produce the desired effect.

B．Environment is important in language protection.

C．People can do little about a language's extinction.

D．Measures should be taken in spite of difficulties.

60．The author believes that ________.

A．all languages are finally going to die out

B．human wisdom can be reflected in languages

C．the protective approaches have proved ineffective

D．the current situation of languages hardly requires attention

第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）

A. Causes of overusing fluoride ( 氟化物 )

B. Negative effects of fluoride

C. Safe use of fluoride

D. The expert's background information

E. No need to worry about fluoride poisoning

F. Solutions to improper use of fluoride

I have heard that fluoride can help stop dental decay, but I recently read that it is poisonous. Which of these is true? How can children use fluoride safely?

1．________

This question is answered by Dr Marcia M. Rich who practises general dentistry in Newholt. She is also a lecturer at the University and a writer for the monthly magazine Your Dentist Cares.

2．________

My answer to the first question is to stress that fluoride works well and is safe when users follow instructions. Young children have a tendency to swallow toothpaste, which is why they should only have a tiny amount of fluoride toothpaste on their toothbrush. If this simple measure is taken, parents can be confident that children will be protected against tooth decay, and come to no harm.

3．________

Almost all medicines have a negative effect—or even be deadly—if they are not taken as directed. So you are right—fluoride can be poisonous if it is swallowed in very large quantities. It is for the reason that fluoride supplements can only be obtained on prescription from the doctor or dentist. Please be assured that fluoride overdoses are rare—in fact, I have never heard of any fatal incidents related to fluoride poisoning.

4．________

Scientific studies have shown that fluoride can help to prevent cavities(牙洞) as long as it is used correctly. If fluoride is abused, there is a risk of illness or even deaths in extreme cases. If a deadly amount of fluoride is taken, immediate first-aid could save a life. A person who has swallowed a large amount of fluoride will probably start vomiting. If not, the patient should be given milk or antacid and taken to the nearest hospital for emergency treatment.

5．________

Taking too much fluoride while teeth are growing can lead to a condition called dental fluorosis. The most likely cause is the swallowing of fluoride toothpastes by young children. It can also be caused by inappropriate use of fluoride drop or other fluoride supplements, for example when fluoride is already present in drinking water.

Of all my teachers, Mr. Smith is the one who impresses me most. Because he is 54, he looks very young at his age. And he's one of the most popular teachers in our school. Compared with other teacher, Mr. Smith pays more attention to his way of teaching. He tries various ways to make his class lively and interestingly. In his opinion, we would not only know “what”，but also understand “why”. So, instead of giving us answers immediately, he encourages us to think by themselves whenever he puts forward questions. With his help, we learned how to analyze and settle down problems. What a wonderful world of “what” he leads us to ! He is such a learning person that we all admire him very much.

Dear Tom，

I'm glad to hear that you are considering making up with Peter. If I were you, I would consider a bike as a birthday present for him.

As far as I know, Peter is always in poor health so he can take more exercise by riding a bike to build up his body. In the meanwhile, you can often go outing by bike together, which is helpful to rebuild your friendship. Besides, taking a bike is an environmentally-friendly means of transport. It's convenient for him to get around as well.

Apart from giving him a gift, you can also adopt other means, such as travelling, seeing a movie, having dinner and going shopping. No matter what you do, being sincere is the most important. I really hope that we can be good friends forever.

Best wishes，
