There is no better way to enjoy Scottish traditions than going fishing and tasting a little bit of whisky at a quiet place like the Inver-lochy Castle. When Queen Victoria visited the castle in 1873 she wrote in her diary,"I never saw a lovelier spot. " And she didn't even go fishing.

   Scotland is not easily defined. In certain moments, this quiet land of lakes and grasses and mountains changes before your very eyes. When evening gently sweeps the hillside into orange light, the rivers, teeming with fish, can turn into streams of gold. As you settle down with just a fishing pole and a basket on the bank of River Orchy,near the Inverlochy Castle,any frustration(烦恼)will float away as gently as the circling water. It's just you and purple, pink, white flowers, seeking a perfect harmony. If you are a newcomer to fishing, learning the basic from a fishing guide may leave you with a lifetime's fun. For many,fishing is more than a sport; it is an art.

   Scotland offers interesting places where you can rest after a long day's fishing. Set against a wild mountain and hidden behind woodland, the beautiful Inverlochy Castle Hotel below the Nevis is a perfect place to see the beauty of Scotland's mountains. Ben Nevis is the highest of all British mountains, and reaching its 1343-metre top is a challenge. But it's not just what goes up that matters; what comes down is unique. More than 900 metres high,on the mountain's north face,lies an all-impor?tant source of pure water. Its name comes from the Gaelic language "usquebaugh" or " water of life", and it is the single most important ingredient (原料)in Scotland's best known drink ： whisky.

   For those who make journeys across the world. the speed of travel  today has rHglJhfij turned the countries into a series of villages. gg^gj^ Distances between them appear no greater to a modern traveller than those which once faced men as they walked from village to village. Jet planes fly people from one end of the earth to the other, allowing them a freedom of movement undreamt of a hundred years ago.

Yet some people wonder if the revolution in travel has gone too far. A price has been paid, they say, for the con?quest (征月8) of time and distance. Travel is something to be enjoyed, not endured (忍受).The boat offers enough leisure and time to appreciate the ever-changing sights and sounds of a journey. A journey by train also has a special charm about it. Lakes and forests and wild, open plains sweeping past your carriage window create a grand view in which time and distance mean nothing. On board a plane, however, there is just the blank blue of the sky filling the narrow windows of the airplane. The soft lighting.in-flight films and gentle music make up the only world you know, and the hours progress slowly.

Then there is the time spent being " processed" at a modern airport. People are conveyed like robots along walkways; baggage is weighed，tickets produced,examined and produced yet again before the passengers move to an?other waiting area. Journeys by rail and sea take longer, yes，but the hours devoted to being "processed"at depar?ture and arrival in airports are luckily absent. No wonder, then,that the modern high-speed trains are winning back passengers from the airlines.

Man, however, is now a world traveller and cannot turn his back on the airplane. The working lives of too many people depend upon it; whole new industries have been built around its design and operation. The holiday-maker ,too? with limited time to spend, patiently endures the busy airports and the limited space of the flight to gain those extra hours and even days,relaxing in the sun. Speed controls people's lives; time saved, in work or play, is the important thing―or so we are told. Perhaps those first horsemen, riding free across the wild, open plains, were enjoying a better world than the one we know today. They could travel at will,and the clock was not their master. 

20.  What does the writer try to express in Paragraph 1 ？

A.  Travel by plane has speeded up the growth of vil?lages.

B.  The speed of modern travel has made distances relatively short.

C.  The freedom of movement has helped people realize their dreams.

D. Man has been fond of travelling rather than staying in one place.

21.  How does the writer support the underlined state?ment in Paragraph 2?

   A.  By giving instructions.

B.  By analysing cause and effect.

C.  By following the order of time.

D.  By giving examples.

22.  What does the last sentence of the passage mean?

   A.  They could enjoy free and relaxing travel.

B.  They needed the clock to tell the time.

C.  They preferred travelling on horseback.

D.  They could travel with their master.

23.  What is the main idea of the passage?

  A.  Air travel benefits people and industries.

B.  Train travel has some advantages over air travel.

C.  Great changes have taken place in modern travel.

   D.  The high speed of air travel is gained at a cost.

第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）

A

The world welcomes 2015！ From New Zealand to New York, the world eagerly celebrates the New Year, hoping for a better future after a year of diseases, struggles and disasters.

The islands of Samoa mid Tokelau in the Pacific Ocean and places loca?ted near the International Date Line mark the dawn o£ the New Year. As celebrations spread westwards, fireworks lit up the night sky in towns and cities around the world, as celebrators partied on the streets.

In some parts of the world, the New Year's celebrations were rather unusual. In many European countries as well as in Coney Island, New York, swimmers braved freezing water temperatures for a dip in the ocean or lake on January 1. In Rome, Italy, divers jumped off the 59-foot-high Cavour Bridge into the Tiber River. Londoners rang in the New Year with a massive fireworks display with dozens of rockets lighting up the night sky. The Scots' celebration of New Year is also called "Hogmanay". A torchlight procession led by men dressed as Vikings kicks off four days of Hogmanay celebrations in Edinburgh, Scotland. The procession ends with the burning of a Viking long ship. Hogmanay is the Scottish word for the last day of the year. Street festivals are held on each day culminating in a fireworks dis?play.

In New York, hundreds of thousands gathered to witness a huge ball with more than 30, 000 lights descend at midnight. This tradition was adopted by The New York Times (aher whom the square is named)in 1908 to attract crowds to celebrate the paper's new headquarters. The ball has dropped every year since then except during the wartime years of 1942 and 1943. The first ball was made of iron, but now 2,688 crystal(水晶)trian?gles decorate this lighted ball.
