Peter wanted to 45 close to the river at the edge of the woods, 46 Paul, who was older, insisted that they camp further away. 47 Peter followed his brother deeper into the 48 . “This really is a wonderful setting!” said Paul in excitement.

I had to learn words and grammar rules, which didn’t seem to have much sense for me at that time. I completely didn’t feel the need to learn English.Everything changed after I went to the USA for the first time at 18. I was impressed by the Grand Canyon, the Sonora Desert, and as a little girl, I liked Disneyland very much.From the earliest childhood, I’ve been taught by qualified teachers, either at home or in high school, not to mention the university. I think that this is of great importance especially for young learners as they are likely to learn wrong things very easily and later it takes a lot of effort to correct those errors.My teachers focused on all aspects of the language: grammar, vocabulary, spoken and written English. When I was younger they used to show me what were the best ways to practice a language. Nowadays, I watch many English films and American programs on TV, and read English books. To practice new words, I write essays which include new interesting words.Such exercises help me a lot when I have to answer difficult questions or deliver a speech. I use many exercise books to practice grammar. However, I hold the opinion that the most natural way to practice grammar is to talk, write essays, etc. Of course, you have to know the grammar rules first. All in all, I must admit that I like spoken English best. Maybe it’s because I’m a quite talkative person.61. Before the author went to America, ________________________.A. she was interested in learning EnglishB. she often wrote essays to improve her EnglishC. she has been learning English for many yearsD. she hadn’t been taught by qualified teachers62. We can learn from the text that ________________________.A. the author has made great progress in spoken EnglishB. the author mainly practices grammar by doing exerciseC. the author watches English films mainly to relaxD. the author didn’t learn much from his teachers in high school63. The author’s favourite way of learning English is _______________________.A. to talk with othersB. to watch English films or programsC. to read English booksD. to write essays with new wordsBIt’s what people who don’t know each other feel about on elevators(电梯). And not about the weather at all. Chatting about the weather with strangers is about emotional comfort.When someone says “Beautiful day today, isn’t it?”as you settle into that narrow elevator space, or at the bus stop, or waiting in line at the supermarket, the conversation is about feeling. The person is speaking to feel more comfortable with you and offering you a chance to feel more comfortable with him or her.Being in close proximity（靠近）with strangers creates interpersonal(人与人之间的) tension(紧张). We can’t help it. Tension automatically seeks resolution. What will you do? Do you notice the person now only a short distance away, or pretend not to notice? Avoidance is one strategy: never make eye contact and act as if nobody is there, even when your feelings tell you. In a supermarket checkout line you might look through a magazine. On elevators, we often avoid others by looking up at the floor numbers.The other strategy is to break the tension by noticing the other person. It starts with eye contact. Then we have a choice: smile, nod, make a remark or start a conversation. If we choose to talk, the most non-controversial(非争议的) subject to talk about is the weather. A remark about the weather evokes(唤起) agreement and feelings of sympathy. “What a nice day!”shares a tiny sliver or happiness. “I wonder if this rain will ever end.” shares the bad feelings with each other. Both ends of the mini-conversation feel a tiny bit more connected by experiencing this emotion of liking or disliking the weather at the same moment.64. What would be the best title of the text?A. Chatting with strangersB. The importance of small talkC. An interesting topicD. Talking about weather with strangers65. When we chat about the weather with a stranger, we actually intend to _______________.A. draw his or her attention to usB. feel comfortable with each otherC. remind him or her of the changeable weatherD. know more about him or her66. When we meet a stranger on elevators, we _________________.A. can’t avoid eye contact with him or herB. should always pretend not to notice him or herC. can avoid him or her by looking up at the floor numberD. should start talking first67. If we want to break the tension when we meet a stranger in close proximity, we should first ____________________.A. make eye contactB. turn our eyes awayC. give him or her a smileD. give a nod to him or herCAfter a year of preparing herself, Laura Dekkr has been given permission to sail around the world. “I was so happy that I almost jump into the water,” Laura said, after learning of the court’s verdict(判决).The 14-year-old was born on a ship in the South Pacific, and currently lives with her father on a boat. When child protection agencies heard about her plan to sail alone, they took the case to court and prevented her from making such a dangerous voyage.Since the decision, though, Laura had been preparing with her father to convince the court that she was ready. Later on, she received the books and other materials she would need for school while she was at sea. She added safety equipment to a new, big ship. And she took first aid courses to learn survival skills, like how to put out fires on the boat, take care of her own injuries and deal with lack of sleep. She also planned a safer course --- adding alternate routes(备用路径) to avoid pirate(海盗) attacks, and planning a course that would have her on dry land as she moved from port to port across the globe.Even with all of the added preparations, the trip still has its risks. In early June, 16-year-old Abby Sunderland, an American, had to give up her attempt to become the youngest sailor to travel around the world. Her ship’s mast(桅杆) broke due to rough waters in the Indian Ocean, and she was rescued by a French fishing ship.Laura plans to take longer than Abby for her voyage, and is using a larger and more stable boat. If she finishes successfully in less than two years, she will take the title from current record-holder Jessica Watson, of Australia, who was 16 when she completed the journey.68. Which of the following is TRUE of Laura?A. She prepared for the voyage at the age of 12.B. She lost her mother after she was born.C. She was allowed to sail around the world finally.D. She wanted to donate money made from the voyage.69. At first, child protection agencies are against Laura’s plan because ____________.A. it was considered to be a dangerous tripB. Laura had to finish her schooling firstC. it would cost Laura too much time and moneyD. Laura wasn’t prepared for the sailing alone70. What is Mr. Dekker’s attitude towards Laura’s trip?A. Doubtful.B. SupportiveC. UncertainD. Neutral(中立的)71. Paragraph 3 mainly talks about ____________.A. how Laura convinced the courtB. why Laura needed to study at seaC. how Laura prepared for the voyageD. where Laura could avoid pirate attacksDIt was New Year’s Night. An aged man was standing at a window. He raised his mournful eyes towards the deep blue sky, where the stars were floating like white lilies on the surface of a clear calm lake.He had already passed sixty and brought from his journey nothing but errors and regrets. Now his health was poor, his mind vacant and his heart sorrowful.The days of his youth appeared like dreams before him, and he recalled the serious moment when his father placed him at the entrance of the two roads- one leading to a peaceful, sunny place, covered with flowers, fruits and filled with soft, sweet songs; the other leading to a deep, dark cave, which was endless, where poison flowed instead of water and devils and poisonous snake hissed ( 发嘶嘶声) and crawled (爬, 爬行).He saw the lights flowing away in the darkness. These were the days of his wasted life; he saw a star fall from the sky and disappeared, and this was the symbol of himself. His regret like a sharp arrow struck deeply into his heart. Then he remembered his friends in his childhood. But they had made their way to success and were now honoured and happy on this night.The high church clock struck and the sound made him remember his parents’ early love for him. They had taught him and prayed for his good. But he chose the wrong way. With shame and grief he dared no longer look towards that heaven. His darkened eyes were full of tears, and with a despairing effort, he burst our a cry: “Come back, my early days!”His youth did return, for all this was only a dream which he had on New Year Night. He was still young though his faults were real; he had not yet entered the deep, dark cave, and he was still free to walk on the road which leads to the peaceful and sunny land.Those who still wander on the entrance of life, hesitating to choose the bright road, remember that when years are passed and your feet stumble (绊脚) on the dark mountains, you will cry bitterly, but in vain（徒劳）: “ Oh youth, return! Oh give me back my early days!”72. Why does the author set his story on New Year’s Night?A. He wants to tell people it’s time to recall the pastB. He suggests the aged man will have a bright futureC. He attempts to stress（强调）the man’s sad feelingD. He expects people to share the man’s sad feeling73. The aged man in the passage on New Year’s Night can be described as ____.A. sorrowful, fearful and regretfulB. hopeful, sorrowful and peacefulC. regretful, painful and disappointedD. disappointed, regretful and hopeful74. The author writes the passage mainly to ____.A. encourage young people to take the right roadB. help the old man to pick up his confidenceC. describe the old man’s unsuccessful experienceD. show his sympathy for the old man75. From the passage we can learn that ______.A. the man returned from a long journey and regretted what he had doneB. the man didn’t enter the deep and dark cave when he was youngC. the man was deserted by his parents when he was only a childD. the man found it no use crying over the wrong past第Ⅱ卷（非选择题，共20分）五、单词拼写：（10*1=10分）76.
