AI was born in the city of York, in England, in 1632. My father was a man of some wealth, able to give me a good home and send me to school. It was his wish that I should be a lawyer but my head began to be filled very early with thoughts of travel, and I would be satisfied with nothing but going to sea. One day, being at Hull, I met one of my friends who was about to sail for London in his father’s ship, and he invited me to go with him. Without telling my father, I went on board.On the way to London, our ship was destroyed by a storm, and we almost lost our lives.I went on foot to London, where I met with the master of a large ship which did business with countries on the coast of Africa. He offered me a chance to go with him, which I gladly accepted.A great storm came up, and the ship was tossed(颠簸) about for many days, until we did not know where we were. Suddenly we hit a bank of sand, and the sea broke over the ship in such a way that we could not hope to have her hold many moments without breaking into pieces. So we used a boat instead. After we had been driven four or five miles, a mountainous wave (波浪) hit us so hard that it overturned the boat at once. I swam well but the waves were so strong that I was pushed against a rock with such force, and left unconscious. But I recovered a little before the waves returned, and, running forward, got to the mainland safely. I never regretted my decisions.21. What did the author want to do most when he was young?A. To visit Africa.B. To sail the seas.C. To practice law.D. To move to London.22. In the last paragraph, the author mainly shows .A. what he did on the shipB. what he went through at seaC. how he became a man of wealthD. how he got to know a ship owner23. What can we learn about the author?A. He could not swim at all.B. He made his father very proud.C. He was not afraid of taking risks.D. He did business with African countries.BThose pretty little brown spots on the skin might be common, but freckles(雀斑) remain a bit of a mystery to many — including those who have them. We interviewed three top skin doctors to explain the mysterious spots.“They get darker in the summertime, when the skin is in strong sunlight, and fade, or lose color, in the wintertime,” says Dr. Joshua Zeichner at Mt. Sinai Hospital in New York City. “The sun’s ultraviolet rays (紫外线)help some skin cells to produce more melanin (黑色素) in the skin.”Contrary to popular belief, nobody is born with freckles, which generally don’t pop up until adolescence. That is, some young people start to have freckles when they are developing into adults.“But freckles often ‘run in the family,’ especially in families that have fairskin,” says Jessica Wu, MD, a Los Angeles-based doctor. “People with fair skin and red or blond hair may have the same skin cells as their parents. Such skin cells are more sensitive to ultraviolet rays, so they produce more melanin in those spots.”The spots themselves are nothing to fear, but those who have freckles are often fair-skinned as well, which in turn makes them more likely to get skin cancer, warns Dr. Howard Murad, who is known as “the Father of Internal Skincare.”Freckles can be lightened with proper treatment, and new freckles often fade on their own. As with many things in life, prevention is key. “Wear sunscreen every day as part of your lifestyle, like brushing your teeth, ” says Zeichner. Wu agrees, “I do warn my patients with freckles to understand the necessity of wearing sunscreen.”Safe sun practice is important for everyone, but havin g freckles means you need to be extra careful. “You are likely to get more of them — in addition to risk of skin cancer — if you don’t use sun protection,” warns Wu.24. What do we know about freckles?A. They can be cleared easily.B. They usually appear in summer.C. They disappear completely in winter.D. They have something to do with the sun.25. The underlined words “pop up ” in Paragraph 3 probably mean .A. remainB. appearC. changeD. return26. If a fair-skinned patient has freckles, .A. skin cells in his family have weaknessesB. he is more likely to develop skin cancerC. there will be little melanin in his skinD. he is probably born with them27. What is the purpose of the text?A. To provide some knowledge of freckles.B. To explain the reasons for skin cancer.C. To show how dangerous freckles are.D. To introduce three top skin doctors.CImagine this: You’re sitting in a London café with an English friend. He turn s to you and asks if you think that “bird over there is a bunny boiler ”.(A)Would you look blank and tell him rabbits can’t fly?(B)Would you curse the day you ever started studying the terrible English language?(C)Would you give your opinion of whether that girl over there is crazy or not ?Teachers and students often talk about the “plateau(高原)” of language learning. The metaphor(比喻)sees every word learned as a step on the journey towards fluency. When you’ve reached a certain high level, you stop improving and hit the “plateau”. Thousands of English language learners have wandered around for years on this flat, boring plateau. However, few have come up with ideas about how to get off it. If you answered A or B to the above situation then my solution may come as a surprise: You need slang(俚语) to lift you up and away.Of course textbooks won’t recommend this route. Slang is too fast-changing to b e recorded in them. And slang is also a dirty word to some teachers, who only like polite English. But English is not only an old-fashioned, polite language, it is also changing quickly. At the end of 2005, two fat new dictionaries—“The New Partridge Dictionary of Slang and Unconventional English” and “Cassell’s Dictionary of Slang”hit the bookshops. Ignoring English’s slang is like travelling to a new country and only visiting places recommended in a 10-year-old guidebook. Boring. So where can you get a fix?New books are good slanguage (slang-language) sources. If you’re tired of reading, buy a CD. Musicians and rappers like the UK’s Artic Monkey and The Streets and the US’Kelis and Eminem are slang sensations (引起轰动的人), constantly playing tricks with the Que en’s English.As the Austrian-British philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein said, the limits of your language are the limits of your world. So why not widen your horizons with a little properly used sl anguage? From there it’s just a short step to pushing yourself and your friends off the plateau on all-new adventures.28. The first paragraph is mainly written to ________.A. show British people enjoy chatting with friends in a caféB. prove that slanguage is difficult to studyC. let the reader choose a correct answerD. present the topic to be discussed in the passage29. According to the passage, the underlined “bird” in Paragraph 1 probably refers to ________.A. slanguageB. a rabbitC. a young womanD. English language30. Which of the following is TRUE of people on the “plateau” of language learning?A. They are puzzled by how to learn a language better.B. They usually lose heart in language learning.C. They know nothing about slang.D. They never make any improvement in language learning.31. What’s the best title for this passage?A. “Slanguage” for musicB. “Slanguage” to the rescueC. “Slanguage”on the goD. “Slanguage”and the Queen’s EnglishDHow much empathy(共鸣)do you feel towards other people? If you saw someone fall off their bike in traffic, would you stop and help—or just walk away? Many people would give in to coldness, go about their business and just do nothing. So it was a big surprise when about 100 bystanders got together recently to move a bus in east London to help a cyclist trapped under it. A video of the incident went viral on social media.According to Zoheb, a driver who stopped his car to take part in the rescue, about five people gathered to move the bus. He say: “There was no chance we could do it, it was more an invitation for other people to help, really.”The initiative(主动能力)paid off. Diners from nearby restaurants joined in. There wasn’t much coordination but it didn’t take long to develop a collective understanding of what the objective was.Spontaneous(自发的)cooperation among strangers doesn’t happen often. People in a crowd are not sure what to do—they don’t have a plan. It’s one of the reasons bystanders often do nothing, according to Dr Mark Levine, professor of social psychology at Exeter University in Britain. “ The presence of others can prevent you from helping,” he says．The key to positive group behavior, Levine explain, “is building a sense of shared identity”. Action has to be decided quickly, Levine says. “The longer you leave it, theharder it is to make a decision. If you don’t immediately act then you kind of think ‘Well, actually I probably couldn’t have done anything anyway’.”But the people who took the initiative like Zoheb might make a difference. The cyclist ended up in hospital and the images of the collective effort might inspire others to more acts of unity.32. Why did the author say it was a big surprise when the rescue was made?A. It spread on social media.B. Many bystanders did nothing.C. So many people gave a hand.D. It didn’t catch people’s attention.33. Which of the following best describes the driver Zoheb according to the text?A. Generous.B. Optimistic.C. Kind-hearted.D. Easy-going.34. Why do people give in to coldness when they should be helping according to Levine?A. Strangers seldom cooperate with each other.B. Nobody wants to be the first to offer help.C. They don’t know how to give first aid.D. They are forbidden from helping.35. What can we learn from the text?A. The sense of shared identity makes no difference.B. It’s not necessary to make a quick decision.C. It’s impossible for strangers to cooperate.D. Collective effort is inspiring.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。
