AMi Teleferico, BoliviaCrossing the Bolivian capital of La Paz,the Teleferico is both the highest and longest city cable-car system on the planet.

At an altitude of 3,700 metres, you' ll feel the thrill of flying as you’resmoothly carried over entire neighborhoods and business districts—all for a ticket price that' s less than a dollar.Everest Flights, NepalIt is no easy work to climb the Everest,a mountain second to none at an altitude of 8 ,848 metres.

A Shanghai writer named Jin Yucheng surprised nearly everyone by making his new novel full of Shanghai dialect(方言).Published last month, the350,000-word Blossoms (Fan Hua) is a novel about the changes in Shanghai over 30 years, drawing clear images of the city through the stories of many common people. There is no main story like most novels, but every story in it could run independently. While Putonghua is the standard choice for Chinese literature today, Jin’s use of the Shanghai dialect appears both different and bold."I have seen too many novels that look similar to each other. Chinese literature is getting monotonous both in language and form. I want to be special with my own language, "Jin told the Global Times.In the novel, Jin makes a breakthrough by mainly using dialogues to unfold various plots and represent typical characters on a daily basis.He also abandons the use of some punctuation like quotation marks (引号), showing a return to the traditional Chinese huaben genre(话本体).Since its publication, the book has been widely recommended on Sina Weibo with many netizens (网民) rating the novel high for its unique use of dialect and vivid description of lifeusing plain speech.Jin said that he got the idea of, writing the novel while chatting in an online forum(论坛) where people use the Shanghai dialect. The praise he received from the netizens encouraged him to continue writing the random stories."I'd like to see more writers to follow my lead.

Tea isn’t British, it wasn’t even all that popular for Britons until the17th century. But now it is as British as dull weather and red phone booths.Tea is of such great importance that it was featured in the Evening Standard written by George Orwell back in 1946. The famous author describes the beverage(饮品) thusly "tea is one of the main stays of civilization in this country." But when, exactly, did this practice become in fashion?The year was 1662, a mere 111 years before insurgents(茶党) from the soon-to-be ruling champions of the Revolutionary War dumped a whole bunch of tea into Boston Harbor. Catherine of Braganza of Portuguese royalty married King Charles II of England, and then went on to make teatime a thing.But the thirst for tea fell at one time—the costs to transport it from the Far East were far more than Britons could afford. However, when Catherine started to make tea consumption a daily practice, it passed on to the other nobles.Not long after the practice was initially adopted by the upper class,the East India company began to import more tea to meet the demand. With the prices lowered,everybody could afford to have a good taste, and suddenly tea was the drink of the every man.After centuries of ritual(习惯), it has become entirely rooted in the British identity itself. Turkey may consume the most tea annually, but the British still hold the title of association.29. The best tile for the passage is probably .A. Why the British drink so much teaB. Why tea is so popular across the worldC. How tea was introduced into EuropeD. Which kind of tea is the most favored30. The underlined word "it" in Paragraph 2 refers to .A. tomatoB. tomato sauceC. teaD. a thing31. According to Paragraph 4, Britons' interest in tea once dropped because .A. it was not drinkableB. they were not used to itC. it was not affordableD. they refused anything foreign32. What can we know from the passage?A. George Orwell promoted tea sales across England.B. King Charles II of England drank tea on a daily basis.C. The Turkish produce the most tea every year.D. People may associate tea with Britons a lot.DA team of University of Wisconsin-Madison researchers has shown that chronic (长期的) stress of being poor, lacking care and physical abuse in early life may shrink the parts of a child' s developing brain responsible for memory, learning and processing emotion.While early life stress already has been linked to anxiety, heart disease，cancer and a lack of educational and employment success,researchers have long been seeking to understand what part of the brain is affected by stress so as to help guide interventions(干预).Seth Pollak, co-leader of the study and a UW professor of psychology,says the research focused on two brain areas—the hippocampus (HC:海马体) and amygdale (AG: 杏仁体).For the study, Pollack’s team had 128 children around age 12 and divided them into four groups after interviews with the children and their caregivers，documenting behavioral problems and their accumulated life stress.One group had experienced physical abuse,another group was ignored before being adopted from a foreign country, and a third group came from low-income families. The fourth group of children came from middle-class families and had not experienced any of the three types of chronic early stress.Researchers did MRI scans (核磁共振扫描) of the children' s brains, focusing on the HC and AG. Then they painstakingly tracked those areas of the brain by hand on paper.The hand measurements showed that children who had experienced poverty, neglect or physical abuse had a smaller AC and HC than the children from middle-class families."I think we added something solid to the literature," he said. "Our research may inform social policy and professional interventions to help the children who are suffering."33. The research shows that .A. long-term poverty ruins one' s memoryB. early stress hurts the development of brainC. early life plays a vital role in one' s lifeD. physical abuse affects a child' s learning competence34. What can we know from the passage?A. HC and AG are involved in memory, learning and processing emotion.B. The final goal of the research is to find out what is affected by stress.C. Pollack's team has already known how the brain is affected.D. Children in the four groups all suffer a lot in their life.35. How can the research help the children related?A. By developing new medicine.m"B. By creating a better living environment.C. By giving processional medical care for the children.D. By offering advice on policy making and professional assistance.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。
