【解析】1在这个人所听到的传说中山那边什么都好：土地肥沃、气候宜人、景色优美。bad 坏的；hot 热的；perfect 完美的；cold冷的。四个词中只有perfect 能够表现出山那边的气候很好，所以选C。
2be interested in 对……感兴趣；be bored of 对……感到厌烦；be surprised at 对……感到惊讶； be nervous about对……紧张不安。一天， 这个人厌倦了自己家乡的生活。所以选B。
3easy 容易的；necessary 必要的；simple 简单的；right正确的。一天， 这个人厌倦了自己家乡的生活，他觉得有必要改善自己的生活了。
4wish 希望；begin开始；refuse拒绝；help帮助。所以他带上包裹离开了他的家，开始爬这座山，希望自己可以过上更好的生活。
5astonishing令人惊讶的；interesting 有趣的；tiring 疲劳的，厌倦的；attractive有吸引力的。根据“The man had to stop to rest many times.”可知选C。
6corner角落。 point在这里指某个特定的地方。山的某些地方很陡。所以选C。
7山很陡峭，这个人几乎想要放弃。get up 起床；give up放弃； sit down坐下； run away逃跑，逃走。所以选B。

13happy高兴的；angry生气的；excited感到兴奋的；lucky幸运的。 fruit在这里意为“成果，结果”，相当于good results。他没有得到好的结果，所以他很生气。angry最能体现出此人当时的心情。
14try 尝试；help 帮助；escape 逃跑；learn学习。这个人觉得太累了，他不想再尝试了。
15film 电影；book 书；tale 故事，传说；lesson课，教训。或许山那边的生活不像传说中的那样好。 根据第一段的“…he heard of tales of the other side of the hill…”可知此空选C。
16strange 奇怪的；terrible 可怕的，糟糕的；useless 无用的；dangerous危险的。这个人自言自语道：“山那边的生活也许没有传说中的那么好，我的家也没有那么糟糕。”所以选B。
17look around 向四周看；turn around 转过身来；go on 继续；slow down慢下来。 根据“…set off for his home.”可知这个人转身回家了。
18as if 好像；so that 引导目的或结果状语从句；as long as “只要”，引导条件状语从句； as well as还有，也。实际上这个人不知道他只要翻过那个斜坡，就能够看到山的另一边了。
19false 错误的；true真实的；funny逗乐的；important重要的。他所听到的有关那个地方的传说都是真的。根据最后一句话“…when things were going to get much better.”可以推断B正确。

【题目】阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Kate Hashimoto was picking up a few groceries at the Upper West Side Food Emporium when she ran into a friend. “Hey Kate, do you like wraps? Here's a chicken wrap," her pal said. “But be careful, it's kind of wet.” They weren't in the food store. They were in front of the store, digging through three overflowing trash bins.
Hashimoto Dumpster-dives(拾荒) for all her food, doesn't use toilet paper or do laundry, and hasn't bought makeups in 10 years. She doesn't have to live this way — she's an employed CPA(注册会计师). “I've always been money-saving, but it was when I was fired that I became extreme,” Hashimoto explained. “No job is guaranteed, so I live as if I could be fired at any time.”
Manhattan, she said, is a gold mine for dumpster divers. “Consumers in wealthy areas expect their products to be perfect, so upscale stores throw out a lot of items that are still good. “New York can be the most expensive place to live, but it can also be the least expensive if you know how to work the system.”
Hashimoto let the reporter of a newspaper spend a day with her learning how to work the system. She lives in Harlem, where she bought a studio in 2010 and paid it off in nine months, but walks down to the Upper West Side three times a week for good, free food. Her other money-saving methods include using soap to wash herself after using the toilet, taking surveys online to earn gift cards, participating in medical trials, testing products for free samples, cutting her own hair, washing her clothes while she showers, and running to work to avoid using subway. “I was very angry about the latest round of subway fare rises,” she said.
Hashimoto does have her limits. Her furniture is a collection of found free gifts— but she won't take an old mattress for fear of bedbugs, and sleeps instead on used yoga mats. And she won't stay in a relationship with a boyfriend for free meals. “I've been in a relationship where I stayed because I was getting free gifts, but I got out of it,” she says. “It's better to be single and dumpster-diving than to be with someone you can't stand.”
（1）The author mentions Kate's friend at the beginning to ______.
A.show there are too many dumpster divers
B.introduce the topic of the text
C.show they have the same lifestyle
D.show the close relationship between them
（2）The underlined word “upscale”(in Para.3) is closest in meaning to_______.
A.large
B.high-class
C.faraway
D.comfortable
（3）How does the author develop the fourth paragraph?
A.Offering the sufferings of Kate.
B.Making comparisons.
C.Discussing the high living cost in New York.
D.Providing details of Kate's daily life.

【题目】阅读理解
Disposing(处理) of waste has been a problem since humans started producing it. As more and more people choose to live close together in cities, the waste-disposal problem becomes increasingly difficult.
During the eighteenth century, it was usual for several neighboring towns to get together to select a faraway spot as a dumpsite. Residents or trash haulers(垃圾托运者) would transport household rubbish, rotted wood, and old possessions to the site. Periodically(定期的) some of the trash was burned and the rest was buried. The unpleasant sights and smells caused no problem because nobody lived close by.
Factories, mills, and other industrial sites also had waste to be disposed of. Those located on rivers often just dumped the unwanted remains into the water. Others built huge burners with chimneys to deal with the problem.
Several facts make these choices unacceptable to modern society. The first problem is space. Dumps, which are now called landfills, are most needed in heavily populated areas. Such areas rarely have empty land suitable for this purpose. Property is either too expensive or too close to residential(住宅区的)neighborhoods. Long-distance trash hauling has been a common practice, but once farm areas are refusing to accept rubbish from elsewhere, cheap land within trucking distance of major city areas is almost nonexistent.
Awareness of pollution dangers has resulted in more strict rules of waste disposal. Pollution of rivers, ground water, land and air is a price people can no longer pay to get rid of waste. The amount of waste, however, continues to grow.
Recycling efforts have become commonplace, and many towns require their people to take part. Even the most efficient recycling programs, however, can hope to deal with only about 50 percent of a city's reusable waste.
（1）The most suitable title for this passage would be ______.
A.Waste Disposal Problem
B.Waste Pollution Dangers
C.Ways of Getting Rid of Waste
D.Places for Disposing Waste
（2）During the 18th century, people disposed their waste in many ways EXCEPT for ______.
A.burying it
B.burning it
C.recycling it
D.throwing it into rivers
（3）What can be inferred from the fourth paragraph?
A.Farm areas accept waste from the city in modern society.
B.There is cheap land to bury waste in modem society.
C.Ways to deal with waste in modem society stay the same.
D.It is difficult to find space to bury waste in modem society.

【题目】Investing in yourself

China is the homeland of tea. Human cultivation of tea plants dates back to two thousand years ago. Tea from China, along【2】her silk and porcelain, began to be known to the world more than a thousand years ago and since then it 【3】(be) an important Chinese export.

Body Language in the United States
Most people shake hands and make eye contact when they meet people for the first time. Among very good friends, a woman may give another woman a little hug, and a man may kiss a woman quickly on the cheek. Males don't hug one another, which, however, is changing. Men usually shake hands with the right hand. Sometimes they use the left hand to either cover the handshake or lightly hold the other person's arm. This shows greater warmth and friendship. Most people wave hello or good-bye by extending the palm(手掌) facing outward, and twisting the hand at the wrist. Another way is to raise the arm, palm outward, and move the whole arm and hand back and forth. This is important to know because in many other countries, the same movements mean “no”.
When people are waiting in a public place, such as the post office, they usually form lines. Some people get angry and complain if someone pushes their way into a line or jumps ahead of other people. Moreover, many women like men to open doors for them. They also like men to give up their seats on public transportation. However, some women do not like this type of behavior. They feel that men and women should be treated in the same way.
In the United States, it's important to make direct eye contact in business and social situations. If you don't make eye contact, people will probably think that you are bored or not interested. If there is silence in these situations, people usually try to make conservation. Periods of silence make many people uncomfortable. People in the United States usually stand about one arm's length away from each other while talking or standing together. This space is called “the comfort zone”.
In the United States, mothers sometimes show that they are angry with children by shaking an index finger(食指) at them. People may show that they like children by patting them on the head.

A.males begin to hug each other now

（3）The third paragraph is mainly about __________.
A.body language in public places

C.the comfort zone
D.body language in business and social life
