It’s not very often you can find a one -stop adventure spot full of winter activities. Take advantage of your free time this winter season and enjoy the outdoor scenery in Colorado.1．If you want to enjoy sleigh rides, you will call _____. A ．800-462-5870 B ．970-231-1955 C ．970-881-2450 D ．866-881-76792．How much does a couple have to pay if they want to have a two-hour horseback ride? A ．$50. B ．$70. C ．$100. D ．$140.3．Where can you most probably read this passage? A ．In the latest news. B ．In a children’s book. C ．In a travel guide. D ．In a sportsman’s diary.Forest Schools originated in Sweden in the 1950s and spread to other countries, particularly Denmark where they have become an important part of the Danish early years program.In a typical Danish Forest School, young children from 3 years are taken into the forest for 4 hours each day of the week. They take no toys with them, but instead use only what the forest provides (and their imaginations) to develop their games. There is a primitive hut in the forest, which is used in extreme weather. Activities are child-led and fun, such as finding small animals or stomping in puddles. Because of high adult to child ratios, children can safely try out activities which are often considered too dangerous, such as climbing trees or lighting fires, and by dressing the children in good protective clothing, they are able to play freely. By setting children small manageable tasks at which they are unlikely to fail, and giving genuine praise, children’s independence and confidence grow.A Swedish scientific study found that children in the Forest School are more balanced and socially capable, have fewer sick days, are more able to concentrate and have better co-ordination than the city nursery children. The primary reason appeared to be the greater opportunities to play in nature, so that children play for longer at a time, tending not to disturb each other as much as children in the city nursery. The study observed that where此卷只装订不密封班级 姓名 准考证号 考场号 座位号children were interrupted, they became irritable, their stress level rose, and their ability to concentrate fell.The study also showed that the Forest School children had 25 % fewer sick days than the city children. One reason for this is that the air is nearly always better outside than indoors. Outside a child is not so exposed to virus and bacteria and not so likely to be infected by other children. Another reason may be that, since stress has been shown to have a negative effect on the immune system, high stress levels may be weakening the city children. The Forest School children, on the other hand, are in a pleasant, natural, fun and less stressful environment.4．Why is there a primitive hut in the forest?A．To let children have fun.B．To store daily necessities.C．To enrich the children’s imagination.D．To protect the children from bad weather.5．What kind of activities do the Forest School children have?A．Activities to improve grades.B．Activities designed for adults.C．Activities usually played by braver kids.D．Fun activities but with a certain level of danger.6．The Forest School children are more able to concentrate because ______.A．they have more interesting things to do B．they are accompanied by adults C．they are not disturbed so often D．they are playing in small groups7．Which of the following best describes the Forest School children?A．Free and wild. B．Confident and happy.C．Polite and calm. D．Strong and adventurous.Environmentalists said our planet was bound to die. Now one man says they are wrong. “Everyone knows the planet is in bad shape,” thundered a magazine article last year. “Species are being driven to die out at recor d rates, and the rivers are so poisonous that fish are floating on the surface, dead.”But there’s growing belief that what everyone takes for granted is wrong: Things are actually getting better. A new book is about to overturn our most basic assumptions about the world’s environment. Rivers, seas, rain and the atmosphere are all getting better.The total amount of forests in the world is not declining. The Skeptical Environmentalist by Bjorn Lomborg, professor of statistics at the University of Aarhus in Denmark, is an attack on the misleading claims of environmental groups, and the “bad news” culture that makes people believe everything is getting worse.Now the attacks are increasingly coming from left-wing environmentalists such as Lomborg, a former member of Greenpeace. The accusation is that, although the environment is improving, green groups — with profits of hundreds of millions of pounds a year — are using scare tactics (战术) to gain donations. Lomborg’s book doesn’t deny global warming —probably the biggest environmental threat —but destroys almost every other environmental claim with many official statistics.The Worldwatch Institute claims that deforestation(采伐森林) has been speeding over the last 30 years. Buy Lomborg says that is simply rubbish. Since the dawn of agriculture the world has lost about 20% of its forest cover, but in recent decades the forest area’s depleting has come to a stop. According to UN figures, the area of forests has remained almost steady, at about 30% of total land area, since 1940s. Forests in countries such as the US, UK and Canada have actually been expanding over the past 40 years. Despite all the warnings the Amazon rainforest has only shrunk by about 15%.Nor are all our species dying out. Some campaigners claim that 50% of all species will have died out within 50 years. But other studies show only 0.08% of species are dying out each year. Conservation efforts have been successful. Whales are no longer threatened and the bald eagle is off the endangered list.Environmental groups claim that many of the improvements are the results of their campaigns. Stephen Tindale, director of Greenpeace UK, said, “There are important examples, such as acid rain and ozone, where things weren’t as bad as predicted, and that’s because our behavior changed.”8．What is Lomborg’s main argument in The Skeptical Environmentalist?A．Our planet is in bad shape.B．The world’s environment is improving.C．The total amount of forests is declining.D．Conservation efforts have been successful.9．Wh at is Lomborg’s main accusation of environmentalists?A．They changed their behavior toward the environment.B．They only told people bad news about the environment.C．They scared people into making donations.D．They overturned our basic assumption about the world’s environment.10．The underlined word “depleting” is close in meaning to “_______”.A．speeding B．limitingC．expanding D．reducing11．Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A．Are all species dying out? B．Isn’t conservat ion powerful?C．Is Our Planet Bound to Die? D．Aren’t environmentalists wrong?Artificial Intelligence (AI) is making it possible for companies to monitor workers’ behavior in great detail and in real time. Start to slack off (懈怠), and AI could talk to your boss.One company offering such services is London-based start-up Status Today. Its AI platform relies on a regular supply of employee data, including everything from the files you access to when you use a key card. From this, it builds a picture of how employees normally function and signals any unusual performance. The idea is to spot when someone might become a security risk by doing something different from their usual behavioral patterns. “All of this gives us fingerprint of a user, so if we think the fingerprint doesn’t match, we raise a warning”, says Mircea Dumitrescu, the company’s chief technology officer.The system also aims to catch employee actions that could accidentally cause a security breach (漏洞), like opening malware (恶意软件).“We’re not monitoring if your computer has a virus.” says Dumitrescu. “We’re monitoring human behaviors.”But catching the security breach means monitoring everyone, and the AI can also be used to track employee productivity. “It seems like they are just using the r eputation of AI to give an air of lawfulness to old-fashioned workplace surveillance (监视),” says Javier Ruiz Diaz of digital campaigning organization the Open Rights Group. “You have a right to privacy and you shouldn’t be expected to give that up at work.”Exactly how companies use the system will be up to them, but it’s hard to shake the picture of an AI constantly looking over employees’ shoulders. “It will bother people, and that could be counterproductive if it affects their behavior,” says Paul Bemal at the University of East Anglia.Phil Legg at the University of the West of England says it will never catch every security risk. “If people know they’re being monitored, they can change their behavior,” he says.12．According to the text, AI monitors employees by ________.A．taking pictures of them B．getting access to their dataC．signaling their usual performance D．catching their actions13．What’s Javier Ruiz Diaz’s attitude towards the system?A．Doubtful. B．Supportive.C．Uncaring. D．Negative.14．What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 4 refer to?A．Security breach. B．Employees’ productivity.C．The right to privacy. D．Workplace surveillance.15．Phil Legg’s concern about the system suggests that ________.A．it is too risky to be used at workB．it will affect employees’ emotionsC．it may not be so effective as expectedD．it will encourage employee, productivity二、七选五Most people have practiced some form of hobby at a point in their lives, whether it is some form of sports, playing a musical instrument, creating art, cooking or something else. There are many different reasons and skills for taking up a hobby.Realize you have more time than you think.This is probably the one thing that keeps most people back from practicing a hobby. 16． But we waste so much time on social media, television commercials and worrying about life which we could have used to practice a hobby. Schedule some time for a hobby into your day. Plan ahead and just do it.Involve other people.Why? Well, have you ever noticed that you stick to something longer when you feel that you cannot let another person down? So, get someone to jog with you, or make musicwith you, or share recipes with you. Plus, you will inspire them to keep on practicing their hobby.17．Put your money where your mouth is.18． So give out a bit of your budget lo your hobby of choice so that you cannot blame a lack of “materials” for not doing anything.19．For me, this has been the most important step in going out and doing a hobby. If you jog, decide which races you want to do this year. If you practice music, organize a concert.Find the pleasure in what you do.As with most things, starting of getting something ready to start can be difficult. But don’t give up.20．A．It is a total win-win.B．Work towards something.C．Think of a hobby that might interest you.D．Others’ help will definitely do you good.E. You think that you don’t have enough time to even start.F. The fact is that people spend money where their heart is.G. Once you have star ted you’ll find the beauty and relaxation in it.三、完形填空I was standing in the checkout line behind a woman who looked to be in her 60s. When it was her turn to pay, the cashier(收银员) __21____ her by name and asked her how she was doing. The woman looked dow n, shook her hand, and said, “Not so good.

I fondly remember road trips as a child, sitting in the sunny backseat of my mom's car, daydreaming about other worlds and fantastic adventures. As I’ve grown older, my daydreams have become increasingly occupied less with fantasy but more with the reality of my past and future. Nearly everyone daydreams about their future and reflects nostalgically (念旧地) or negatively on moments of the past. These moments can provide inspiration, but if you spend too much time daydreaming in this fashion, you may be reducing your success in the present.

They take no toys with them, but instead use only what the forest provides (and their imaginations) to develop their games. There is a primitive hut in the forest, which is used in extreme weather. Activities are child-led and fun, such as finding small animals or stomping in puddles. Because of high adult to child ratios, children can safely try out activities which are often considered too dangerous, such as climbing trees or lighting fires, and by dressing the children in good protective clothing, they are able to play freely. By setting children small manageable tasks at whic h they are unlikely to fail, and giving genuine praise, children’s independence and confidence grow.A Swedish scientific study found that children in the Forest School are more balanced and socially capable, have fewer sick days, are more able to concentrate and have better co-ordination than the city nursery children. The primary reason appeared to be the greater opportunities to play in nature, so that children play for longer at a time, tending not to disturb each other as much as children in the city nursery. The study observed that where此卷只装订不密封班级 姓名 准考证号 考场号 座位号children were interrupted, they became irritable, their stress level rose, and their ability to concentrate fell.The study also showed that the Forest School children had 25 % fewer sick days than the city children. One reason for this is that the air is nearly always better outside than indoors. Outside a child is not so exposed to virus and bacteria and not so likely to be infected by other children. Another reason may be that, since stress has been shown to have a negative effect on the immune system, high stress levels may be weakening the city children. The Forest School children, on the other hand, are in a pleasant, natural, fun and less stressful environment.4．Why is there a primitive hut in the forest?A．To let children have fun.B．To store daily necessities.C．To enrich the children’s imagination.D．To protect the children from bad weather.5．What kind of activities do the Forest School children have?A．Activities to improve grades.B．Activities designed for adults.C．Activities usually played by braver kids.D．Fun activities but with a certain level of danger.6．The Forest School children are more able to concentrate because ______.A．they have more interesting things to do B．they are accompanied by adults C．they are not disturbed so often D．they are playing in small groups7．Which of the following best describes the Forest School children?A．Free and wild. B．Confident and happy.C．Polite and calm. D．Strong and adventurous.Environmentalists said our planet was bound to die. Now one man says they are wrong. “Everyone knows the planet is in bad shape,” thundered a magazine article last year. “Species are being driven to die out at record rates, and the rivers are so poisonous that fish are floating on the surface, dead.”But there’s growing belief that what everyone takes for granted is wrong: Things are actually getting better. A new book is about to overturn our most basic assumptions about the wo rld’s environment. Rivers, seas, rain and the atmosphere are all getting better.The total amount of forests in the world is not declining. The Skeptical Environmentalist by Bjorn Lomborg, professor of statistics at the University of Aarhus in Denmark, is an attack on the misleading claims of environmental groups, and the “bad news” culture that makes people believe everything is getting worse.Now the attacks are increasingly coming from left-wing environmentalists such as Lomborg, a former member of Greenpeace. The accusation is that, although the environment is improving, green groups — with profits of hundreds of millions of pounds a year — are using scare tactics (战术) to gain donations. Lomborg’s book doesn’t deny global warming —probably the biggest environmental threat —but destroys almost every other environmental claim with many official statistics.The Worldwatch Institute claims that deforestation(采伐森林) has been speeding over the last 30 years. Buy Lomborg says that is simply rubbish. Since the dawn of agriculture the world has lost about 20% of its forest cover, but in recent decades the forest area’s depleting has come to a stop. According to UN figures, the area of forests has remained almost steady, at about 30% of total land area, since 1940s. Forests in countries such as the US, UK and Canada have actually been expanding over the past 40 years. Despite all the warnings the Amazon rainforest has only shrunk by about 15%.Nor are all our species dying out. Some campaigners claim that 50% of all species will have died out within 50 years. But other studies show only 0.08% of species are dying out each year. Conservation efforts have been successful. Whales are no longer threatened and the bald eagle is off the endangered list.Environmental groups claim that many of the improvements are the results of their campaigns. Stephen Tindale, director of Greenpeace UK, said, “There are important examples, such as aci d rain and ozone, where things weren’t as bad as predicted, and that’s because our behavior changed.”8．What is Lomborg’s main argument in The Skeptical Environmentalist?A．Our planet is in bad shape.B．The world’s environment is improving.C．The total amount of forests is declining.D．Conservation efforts have been successful.29．What is Lomborg’s main accusation of environmentalists?A．They changed their behavior toward the environment.B．They only told people bad news about the environment.C．They scared people into making donations.D．They overturned our basic assumption about the world’s environment.10．The underlined word “depleting” is close in meaning to “_______”.A．speeding B．limitingC．expanding D．reducing11．Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A．Are all species dying out? B．Isn’t conservation powerful?C．Is Our Planet Bound to Die? D．Aren’t environmentalists wrong?Artificial Intelligence (AI) is making it possible for companies to monitor workers’ behavior in great detail and in real time. Start to slack off (懈怠), and AI could talk to your boss.One company offering such services is London-based start-up Status Today. Its AI platform relies on a regular supply of employee data, including everything from the files you access to when you use a key card. From this, it builds a picture of how employees normally function and signals any unusual performance. The idea is to spot when someone might become a security risk by doing something different from their usual be havioral patterns. “All of this gives us fingerprint of a user, so if we think the fingerprint doesn’t match, we raise a warning”, says Mircea Dumitrescu, the company’s chief technology officer.The system also aims to catch employee actions that could accidentally cause a security breach (漏洞), like opening malware (恶意软件).“We’re not monitoring if your computer has a virus.” says Dumitrescu. “We’re monitoring human behaviors.”But catching the security breach means monitoring everyone, and the AI can also be used to track employee productivity. “It seems like they are just using the reputation of AI to give an air of lawfulness to old-fashioned workplace surveillance (监视),” says Javier Ruiz Diaz of digital campaigning organization the Open Rights Group. “You have a right to privacy and you shouldn’t be expected to give that up at work.”Exactly how companies use the system will be up to them, but it’s hard to shake the picture of an AI constantly looking over employees’ shoulders. “It will bother people, and t hat could be counterproductive if it affects their behavior,” says Paul Bemal at the University of East Anglia.Phil Legg at the University of the West of England says it will never catch every security risk. “If people know they’re being monitored, they can change their behavior,” he says.12．According to the text, AI monitors employees by ________.A．taking pictures of them B．getting access to their dataC．signaling their usual performance D．catching their actions13．What’s Javier Ruiz Diaz’s attitu de towards the system?A．Doubtful. B．Supportive.C．Uncaring. D．Negative.14．What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 4 refer to?A．Security breach. B．Employees’ productivity.C．The right to privacy. D．Workplace surveillance.15．Phil Le gg’s concern about the system suggests that ________.A．it is too risky to be used at workB．it will affect employees’ emotionsC．it may not be so effective as expectedD．it will encourage employee, productivity二、七选五Most people have practiced some form of hobby at a point in their lives, whether it is some form of sports, playing a musical instrument, creating art, cooking or something else. There are many different reasons and skills for taking up a hobby.Realize you have more time than you think.This is probably the one thing that keeps most people back from practicing a hobby. 16． But we waste so much time on social media, television commercials and worrying about life which we could have used to practice a hobby. Schedule some time for a hobby into your day. Plan ahead and just do it.Involve other people.Why? Well, have you ever noticed that you stick to something longer when you feel that you cannot let another person down? So, get someone to jog with you, or make music3with you, or share recipes with you. Plus, you will inspire them to keep on practicing their hobby.17．Put your money where your mouth is.18． So give out a bit of your budget lo your hobby of choice so that you cannot blame a lack of “materials” for not doing anything.19．For me, this has been the most important step in going out and doing a hobby. If you jog, decide which races you want to do this year. If you practice music, organize a concert.Find the pleasure in what you do.As with most things, starting of getting something ready to start can be difficult. But don’t give up.20．A．It is a total win-win.B．Work towards something.C．Think of a hobby that might interest you.D．Others’ help will definitely do you good.E. You think that you don’t have enough time to even start.F. The fact is that people spend money where their heart is.G. Once you have start ed you’ll find the beauty and relaxation in it.三、完形填空I was standing in the checkout line behind a woman who looked to be in her 60s.
