这是一篇夹叙夹议的文章。为保证旅行既有趣又安全,约翰四处搜集建议和信息。尽管大家都说自己知晓到达目的地的唯一途径,但没人能提供全面的答案,约翰终于意识到只有自己去探索才能发现答案。

1. B第一段讲约翰想去一个很远的地方旅行,与之衔接的应该是"希望这段旅程令人兴奋"。

.2. C约翰希望这次旅行能遇到意思,还希望能有美丽的风景,友好的人们和美味的食物。3. A 约翰想要避免一切危险,也不想迷路。

get lost"迷路,走失"。

4. B约翰意识到这趟旅程需要仔细考虑,并决定征求他人的建议。

demand主语为人时表示"坚决要求",主语为物时表示"迫切需要";request意为"恳请,请求"。这里应该选demand,表示"需要"。

5. D根据下文约翰向朋友、姑妈等人征求建议可知应选advice0

6. C从下文朋友及姑妈的建议内容来看,此处约翰是想询问到达目的地的"最佳"方式是什么。

7. A这个目的地不能通过陆路到达,只能走水路。

available "可利用的,有效的";difficult "困难的";broad"宽阔的";dangerous "危险的"。通过后半句"只能乘船去"可知陆路是"不可行"的。

8. A从后文姑妈建议的来看,约翰应该是与姑妈讨论了旅行的事。talk about"谈论,讨论"; set about"开始,着手";get through"通过(审査或考试) ;接通(电话) ";break through"突破,突围"。

9. C姑妈认为水路非常危险。她有几个朋友坐船去,结果都没有回来。这从后文姑妈劝约翰放弃这次旅行就能看出。

10. C参见第9题解析。

11. B姑妈让约翰忘记旅行计划,攒更多的钱享受生活。

12. A联系上下文,不一样的答案让约翰感到"困惑",所以他又去求助从前的地理老师。

13. D前文说约翰给地理老师写信,故老师应该是把地图和旅行指南邮寄给他。

14. D参见13题解析。老师通过来信给他提供了包括复杂图表在内的相关资料。这里present作"给,赠送"之意。

15. C约翰相信有了更多的证据和信息,就能够发现解决他所有问题的答案。

invent"发明,创造";handle "处理";create "创造,引起,造成"。

discover"发现,发觉",符合语境。

16. A联系上文,约翰继续不断地搜集信息。

17. B前文提到不断收集信息,后文说找到通往目的地的最佳路径,可推测中间所缺的环节是对信息的整理或分析。

18. C尽管人人都称自己知道最佳路线,但是没有一个人能提供全面答案,空缺处应填一个表示转折的连词。

19. A have / know all the answer "(自以为) 全懂",是固定搭配。

20. B寻找真理的唯一途径是自己踏上旅程,自己去探索和发现。

 After a boy had unwrapped his gifts on Christmas morning,his mother asked him which present he wanted to donate.

  "None," the 5-year-old boy replied. His mother explained that sharing was part of the holiday spirit. She also explained that a poor child would be very happy to receive a gift. The boy eventually agreed to part with (舍弃) one of his gifts. He put his four gifts in front of him and tried to decide which one to part with. It was a difficult decision,but he chose to say goodbye to the flute (长笛) ."Where do we take it?" he asked his mother. His mother explained that there was a Salvation Army box two streets away and someone would give the gifts to children who needed them.

When he was 8 years old,the boy treas?ured the gifts he had received so much that his decision needed to be made using a special method,which led him to part with a set of checkers (跳棋) .Three months later,he saw the checkers set at his friend Jerry's house. When Jerry was 6 years old,his father had died and his mother had lost her job,so he had few gifts.

 As the summer time approaches,more and more commercials and advertisements can be seen on the mass media encouraging students to join English study tours abroad. The purpose of these tours is to provide students with an opportunity to learn English in a native speaking environment and use English in real situations. Parents always believe that their children will automatically speak good English after attending these study tours. However,for me,as an English major and former participant of many English study tours,I find these summer tours ineffective.

  Parents who send their children abroad for a summer to study English usually believe that the native speaking environment,including the courses,teachers,and host families,can help their children to learn English better. This might be true if the students really study hard and they really get an all-English environment. But the fact is that,most of the time,the tour part is more important than the study part.     Although these tours take place in foreign countries,students are rarely exposed in an all-English environment. You will find that,in the morning classes,Taiwanese students would like to stick together and speak Chinese with each other,even though there are some students from other countries. In the afternoon,the students go on a sightseeing excursion with their companions from Taiwan; they speak Chinese,of course. In the evening,when students return to the host families,they would stay in their room and share the day with their roommate,another Taiwanese student. People who speak the same language with you are like a log in the ocean when living in a foreign country where you can not express your?self well,so that you would naturally stick with them. This is especially true with children. An?other unrealistic expectation parents have for these tours is that the experience of living abroad can make their children more independent and mature. However,maturity does not come over?night. It takes time and practice. The most important of all is that they need a good mentor. None of these exist in the study tours.

(   ) 1. What's the author's attitude towards the English study tours abroad?

   A. Doubtful. B. Positive. C. Negative. D. Neutral.

(   ) 2. Which of the following is the most important thing for children who study in an Eng?lish environment according to the writer?

   A. Host families. B. Hard work. C. Courses. D. Teachers.

(   ) 3. Why are students rarely exposed in an all-English environment?

   A. The study tour itself makes it less important for students to expose themselves in an all-English environment.

   B. Staying with the students from the same country makes study easy abroad.

   C. They only want to stay with their English teachers.

   D. They are not sure about their spoken English.

(   ) 4. What makes parents send their children to join English study tours abroad according to the text?

   A. Parents' misunderstanding to the ads.

   B. Parents' lack of information.

   C. Parents' unrealistic expectation.

   D. Parents' social experience.

 In white shirt,blue pants,black cloth shoes and two pigtails,Jingqiu gives off an air of great "pure beauty" in Zhang Yimou's new movie Under the Hawthorn Tree.

  The film tells the story of the sad romance of Jingqiu and a handsome young man named Laosan. Set at the end of the "cultural revolution" (1966-1976) ,the pair managed to fall in love although they came from different political environments.

  Before it was released,moviegoers speculated on just what this "pure beauty" could be. Director Zhang complained of how long it had taken him to find the right girl for the part of Jingqiu―a character so innocent that she believed simply lying on the same bed with a man would make her pregnant.

  It was 18-year-old Zhou Dongyu who stood out from the crowd. According to Zhang,Zhou had "eyes that are clear like a fountain on a mountainside". Born of an ordinary worker's family,the Shijiazhuang girl was in her final year of high school and working hard for a place in an art college.

  While some teenagers consider such " pure beauty" illusory,others believe that it speaks of something soulful.

  Purity is all about the innocence that shines through from within,thinks 16-year-old Tan Mengxi of Nanjing.

  "Being pure can be simple,not having complicated thoughts and being inexperienced. However,it doesn't mean an ignorant or naive person. So,a person is pure in his or her nature if he or she is always enthusiastic and able to deal with difficult matters independently. This purity doesn't pass with time," she said. 

(   ) 5. What image does Jingqiu give to audiences in the movie Under the Hawthorn Tree"!

   A. A simple girl. B. A pure girl.

   C. A romantic girl. D. A silent girl.

(   ) 6. What kind of girls looks pure according to the passage?

   A. A girl in white shirt,blue pants,black cloth shoes and two pigtails.

   B. A girl has eyes that are clear like a fountain on a mountainside.

   C. A girl who was born into an ordinary worker's family.

   D. A girl wears accessories and makeup.

(   ) 7. What's the opinion of Tan Mengxi about purity?

   A. It is of whether someone is ignorant or naive.

   B. Being pure can be simple,not having complicated thoughts and being inexperi?enced.

   C. It is of whether someone is always enthusiastic.

   D. Purity is a matter of internal quality and doesn't pass with time.

(   ) 8. Which do you think is the best title for the passage?

   A. What Makes a Pure Girl?

   B. A Debate on the Movie Under the Hawthorn Tree

   C. Opinions on the Character Jingqiu

   D. It's Hard to Find the Character Jingqiu
