Besides, it is wise of you to wear suitable cycling clothes and bicycle helmet. Last but not least, there is no doubt that it’s a good idea to prepare enough food and water, which will meet the supply of nutrients during cycling.I wish you will have a pleasant journey!Yours,Li Hua读后续写Hearing a noise, Alan froze, feeling something was there in the darkness. A feeling of fear came into his mind as he cast a glance there. Heart beating wildly, Alan made his way to the noise, with both of his legs trembling uncontrollably. A closer look convinced him that it was only a rabbit, which quickly disappeared in the dark. In relief, he felt the gentle breeze kissing his face. The moonlight dripped through the leaves. Alan was greeted by the sound of birds and insects. Enveloped by sweet air, he felt as if in the wonderland. The next morning, the officer asked for reports. Other campersshowed off their adventure in the dark—how they ran into some “horrible”creatures and bravely scared them off. The officer, wearing a doubtful look, offered no comments. When it was Alan’s turn, he told the truth that there were no scary animals but breathtaking scenery to be explored. A smile appeared on the officer’s face.That was exactly what the camping was all about. Only after one overcame the fear in his own heart could he enjoy the real beauty of nature.听力原文Text 1W: Ah, Sam. Would you like to have a cup of coffee as usualM: Not today, Mary.

I’m in Vancouver, approaching the Knight Street Bridge as I try to get home after work. It’s 5:15 pm. Traffic is already slowing down and then it comes to a full stop. I’m stuck even before getting on the bridge. This has become my normal work commute (上下班往返) routine. Ahead of me is a heavily jammed on-ramp (匝道). I stare at the endless rows of vehicles, depressed.My initial reaction is always denial. This is not how it looks. The traffic will soon start moving. Seconds pass. Minutes pass. Looking at the rows of cars and trucks glittering (闪光) in the sun, I start counting—299, 300, 301—and I give up.Suddenly I remember I’m one of the 300 helpless drivers. But I sta y alert. When the cars do move, I move carefully, making sure not to bump into other vehicles. Finally, I make it onto the bridge. Thetraffic is still crawling at a snail’s pace. Tired and hungry, I become very anxious.Just then, I hear a faint sound in the distance. The sound gradually becomes louder, until I can identify it as an emergency vehicle approaching from behind. What do we do The bridge is packed. There’s no room for us to move.But I’m wrong. Every single car quickly, yet carefully, moves to the side. Without thinking, I follow suit. The lane remains open for a few seconds during which the ambulance flashes through. Afterward, every car moves back into formation (队形). We close up the emergency lane, ready to restart our patient wait. Back in my spot, I’m awestruck. I forget my tiredness and hunger. My anxiety is gone. I start reflecting upon what 300 fellow drivers and I just did. How did we do that Despite our exhaustion, we collectively decided to help the stranger who needed the time more desperately than we did. We drew on our compassion (同情心) and intelligence, requiring no directives.Although I may seem alone stuck on the bridge, I’m connected to all the other drivers. Together we could make the impossible possible.24. How does the author feel when seeing the on-rampA. Annoyed.B. Shocked.C. Calm.D. Discouraged.25. What does the author think when knowing an ambulance is approachingA. All drivers will be willing to move.B. Someone should direct the traffic.C. It will be hard for it to pass through.D. Whoever is inside needs immediate help.26. What does the underlined word “awestruck” in paragraph 7 most probably meanA. Deeply doubtful.B. Filled with admiration.C. Extremely confused.D. Feeling distracted.27. What does the author think made the miracle happenA. People’s kindness.B. Instructions from a stranger.C. The drivers’ good driving skills.D. The drivers’ positive mindset. CHave you ever seen a car without a driver It sounds crazy, but these computer-driven driverless cars will soon be filling roads near you. Tech companies around the world have been designing and testing driverless vehicles and the technology is available already.So, how do they work The cars are covered in sensors that can detect other cars and obstacles on the road. Sensors on the wheels also help when parking. Road signs are read by cameras, and satellite navigation systems are used. Finally, a central computersystem takes in all the information and processes this to work out when to accelerate, brake and steer. All you have to do is type in the destination.Sounds like your idea of heaven Sitting back, looking out of the windows and even watching a film while “driving” will all be possible with this new technology. In addition, computers are generally more efficient drivers than humans, meaning emissions can be reduced. They also drive more safely than people—they don’t get distracted by music or friends, they obey the speed limit and they have quicker reaction times in case of an emergency. However, there are still many drawbacks of driverless puters will have difficulties making ethical (道德上的) decisions. If a child ran out into the road, would the computer choose to hit the child or turn aside sharply and potentially hurt the car’s passengers instea d Moreover, I personally find driving fun. I’d miss never being behind the wheel myself. There would also be legal questions. Should children or drunk people, be allowed in a driverless car by themselves Or would there need to be a responsible adult with a driving licence in the car at all timesAlthough being driven around by a machine would perhaps mean that no one needs a driving license, many people would be put out of a job by the popularization of driverless cars. Bus, taxi and traindrivers would be made unwanted.I’m not convinced I’d want a driverless car, but it’s only a matter of time before they’ll become more affordable and commonplace on our roads.28. What do you need to do when using a driverless carA. Control the sensors.B. Read the road signs carefully.C. Check the satellite navigation systems.D. Put the address into the computer.29. What does the third paragraph mainly tell us about driverless carsA. Their emissions.B. Their advantages.C. Their testing process.D. Their reaction to an emergency.30. How does the author analyze the shortcomings of driverless carsA. By making a comparison.B. By analyzing their harmful effects.C. By raising some questions.D. By sharing personal experiences.31. What does the author think of future driverless carsA. They will be less expensive.B. They will consume less energy.C. They will do more harm than good.D. They will be more strictly controlled.DA strong hit to the head will normally give you a concussion (脑震荡). Woodpeckers, however, strike their beaks (喙) into trees thousands of times a day and are perfectly fine.We used to think that a woodpecker’s skull (头骨) worked as a kind of safety helmet which absorbed the shocks. A new study by Sam Van Wassenbergh, a researcher at the University of Antwerp in Belgum, proved that this “common sense” was in fact false.Van Wassenbergh and his colleagues argued that, if a woodpecker’s head absorbed the force, it would not be able to strike the tree with enough force.“If the beak absorbed much of its own impact, the unfortunate bird would have to pound even harder,” they said in their paper. In other words, if the theory were true, the woodpecker would have to peck even harder to compensate (弥补) for both theshock-absorbing qualities of the sponge-like bone inside its skull as well as the density (密度) of the wood.The scientists recorded four different kinds of woodpeckers in zoos as they were pecking. The team used data from their high-speed recordings to build digital models of the woodpeckers. VanWa ssenbergh described the woodpeckers’ motion as “a hammer (锤子) hitting wood” since their movement rigid and focused.The research suggested that woodpeckers don’t have anyshock-absorbing device or the ability to reduce the amount offorce. Although they ar e without “helmets”, the team claimed that the woodpeckers’ tiny size and weight protect them.A woodpecker’s brain is about 700 times smaller than that of a human. “Smaller animals can stand up to higher decelerations (减速). Think about a fly that hits a window and then just flies back again,” Van Wassenbergh said. “So that is why even the hardest hits we observed are not expected to cause any concussion.”THEORIES OF PECKINGPrevious theory 1: The shock is absorbed by a spongy (海绵似的) bone behind the woodpe cker’s beak.Previous theory 2: Woodpeckers have a long tongue that wraps around the skull, which protects the brain.Previous theory 3: The liquid inside the skull ensures that the brain will not move violently.New theory: There is no shock-absorbing device in the head. Woodpeckers’ tiny body is able to take the hit.32. What did people use to believe about woodpeckers when they peck treesA. They could resist slight concussions.B. Their heads were able to reduce the impact.C. Their beaks could spread the shocks they produce.D. Their bodies were soft enough to absorb the force.33. What did the experiment conducted by Van Wassenbergh and his colleagues proveA. The shock absorber theory is mostly correct.B. How woodpeckers peck depends on their type.C. Woodpeckers do not have special safety devices.D. Density of the wood affects a woodpeckers’ pecking force.34. What protects a woodpecker from getting a concussion according to Van WassenberghA. Its size.B. Its skull.C. Its beak.D. Its species.35. Where is the text probably taken fromA. An advertisement.B. An information brochure.C. An observation diary.D. A science magzine.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。
