This is actually one ofthe best choices in South Africa today.There is nothing more relaxing than to think about thatthere is a place to go and relax, right? City life isstrained,_but you can escape this situation and be in theplace where there is nothing but relaxation. Here in Durban you will get to see all the amazing tourist attractions. If you love animals and want to see some elephants wandering around the streets, then Durban is the place to go. You can even get to ride one if you want!Here you will also get to taste all the delicious South African food. You can choose from Italian cooking to its native dishes. Durban is a great place to tour with your friends and family. You will learn a lot about its history through the landmarks you will see down the streets.Tourists_and_even_the_local_villagers_just_can't_get_enough_of_these_tre ats!However, it is important that you make the necessary arrangements. There are actually lots of tour guides that will help you as you make your journey along the streets of Durban. But if you prefer the best tour guides here in Durban, then you'd better settle for the Street Scene Tours.Their staff are all well­trained and professional.They will certainly make your stay here an unforgettable one.No wonder tourists prefer the Street Scene Tours when it comes to Durban City Tours.1．The underlined word “strained” in Para. 2 means________.A．easy B．stressful C．steady D．casual2．What is the main idea of Paragraph 2?A．Durban is a relaxing city.B．People don't like city life.C．It is good to have a place to relax.D．One can have fun riding elephants.3．What does the last sentence in Paragraph 3 show?A．The food can't satisfy them.B．They are bored with the streets.C．They are treated very well here.D．They never get tired of the sights.4．The author wrote the last paragraph mainly to________.A．attract tourists to DurbanB．help readers make arrangementsC．introduce the tour guides in DurbanD．persuade tourists to choose the Street Scene ToursBI've spent over a year in India, and in those 365 plus days, I've learned a lot about getting around Indian cities. My biggest lessons have been learned through being cheated, particularly by taxi and rickshaw (人力车) drivers, but that doesn't mean those are bad ways to travel, as long as you know what you're doing. Below are the best ways to get around the city of Delhi, India, and tips for how to keep from being the victim of scams (欺骗)．Taking taxis is a great way to get around the city of Delhi and chances are, if you arrive in Delhi by plane, as soon as you make it through customs, you'll be swarmed by Indian taxi drivers. At the Delhi airport, be sure to arrange for a taxi to your hotel at one of the two Delhi Traffic Police Taxi Booths. One is inside the airport, and one is outside. The key is to make sure to go to a booth run by the police, rather than by independent taxi drivers.Rickshaws are one of my favorite ways to get around Indian cities, in part because it's how the locals often travel. Auto­rickshaws are more common, but bicycle rickshaws are still used in Old Delhi. If you do have a chance to take a bicycle rickshaw, you should do it at least once for a unique experience that should only set you back about 15 rupees. Auto­rickshaw rates around Delhi range between 30 and 80 rupees, depending on distance.If you really want to travel around Delhi like the locals, take a public bus. Indian buses become very crowded and most do not have air conditioning. They are, however, very cheap. A bus trip won't set you back any more than 15 rupees, as longas you stay within the city limits. Since Indian buses get so crowded, try to board the bus at the start of the route so you can get a seat.The train is a great way to get around within the city of Delhi. Fares are reasonable, between six and 22 rupees. All departure announcements are in both Hindi and English, and tokens can be purchased for between six and 22 rupees.5．To avoid being cheated, you ought to________if you want to take a taxi at the Delhi airport.A．pay more to the drivers to keep safeB．show your ticket to the driverC．go to a police­run boothD．go out of the airport6．The author suggests taking a rickshaw in order to ________.A．save some money B．enjoy the comfortable tripC．gain some unique experience D．help the local rickshaw drivers7. What can we infer from the passage?A．You won't have to pay much if you travel around by bus in India.B．It will be difficult for you to get a seat if you get on the bus halfway.C．A rickshaw driver only charges whatever amount you give him.D．You'll have to speak English if you travel around in India.8．Which may be the topic that follows?A．Hotel recommendations in Delhi. B．Weather conditions in Delhi.C．Food and drink in Delhi. D．Car rentals in Delhi.CDo you know the open­air art gallery in London's Blackall Street? Probably not. Not many Londoners know it either, but Henri does and he is willing to show it to you.Henri used to sleep in parks until he met a charity (慈善机构) that helps homeless people get back on their feet by becoming tour guides.Rather than show traditional London sights, “Unseen Tours” take_people_off_the_beaten_track. Henri has been teaching tourists about the history and architecture of Shoreditch, where he slept on public benches for three years.When he felt separated from the society, contact with the volunteer network “The Sock Mob” gave Henri hope. “Not everyone just looked down on me，” he said. The tours aren't the only actions trying to help those who have suffered a misfortuneto stand tall again.An innovative (创新的) college for homeless people in London, the first of its kind in the country, is attracting hundreds of students. The Recovery College, set up by St Mungo's charity, is providing courses designed to improve technical skills and life skills.According to Andy Williams, who helps to organize the college, the most popular courses have proved to be about raising self­confidence and developing self­pride.Steve, now in his 50s, told a reporter how much of a difference it makes to “have a bit of confidence”. He had difficulty learning to read and had to leave school when he was 12. Because Steve's problem was not recognized at t he time, he was “seen to be unable to read or write”， and suffered with depression and alcohol addiction. He says the status of “student” is itself important for people who are used to being treated as outcasts (被遗弃者)．Some charities aim not only to help the homeless become independent but also to make them popular. The Homeless World Cup started ten years ago. Today the tournament draws teams from 48 countries made up of players­men and women­who are, or have been, living in the streets. It gives them a chance to become football heroes.9. The underlined part “take people off the beaten track” means “take people to________.”A．famous galleries B．traditional sightsC．unusual places D．public benches10. How does the Recovery College help the homeless people?A．By training them to be guides.B．By offering them different courses.C．By keeping in contact with them.D．By asking more students to help them.11．The purpose of the Homeless World Cup is to help the homeless people ________.A．become football stars B．improve life skillsC．gain self­confidence D．find proper jobs12．Which is the best title for the passage?A．Confidence Back Now B．London TourC．The Popular Homeless D．Football HeroesDDoes it annoy you when your parents make you drink a carton of milk when you wanta can of soda? Or do you hate being told to go for a run when your favorite TV show is on?Well, maybe you should listen to your parents because they are only trying to help you. Without proper diet and exercise kids are at risk of developing fragile bones when they get older. That's because our bodies are very good at building bones until about the age of 30, when the process stops.Dr. Lawrence Raisz, scientific editor of The 2004 Surgeon General's Report on Bone Health and Osteoporosis (骨质疏松症), agrees. “We're in bad shape，” he says. His report predicts that by 2020, half of all Americans over the age of 50 will be at risk of fractures (骨折) because of low bone mass. “Kids today are — what's the expression？—they're computer potatoes. They have lots of soft drinks and not enough good calcium­rich (富含钙质的) food.” And therein (在其中) lies the problem, because calcium and exercise, along with vitamin D, are the important components for building up strong bones.If you think of your body as a house, then your skeleton (骨架) is the supporting frame — a frame maintained and strengthened by calcium. Once we hit our 30s, our bodies start to draw from the calcium stored in our bones. If there is enough calcium, then the structure will stand firm, but if there's not? Picture the frame of a house devoured (吞噬) by termites (白蚁), the wood brittle (易折的) and filled with holes. That's what osteoporosis does to your skeleton.The second half of the skeleton building equation (等式) is exercise. For optimum (最适宜的) bone health, the Surgeon General recommends that children get 60 minutes of weight­bearing (负重) or strengthening exercise a day. As with muscles, bones grow stronger with use; plenty of exercise means plenty of bones health. “If you do an hour of exercise a day, it doesn't matter so much what it is，” Raisz says.“You're telling your bones they've got to grow！”13．According to Dr Lawrence Raisz, why will many Americans have weak bones in the future?A．Because their body will stop building bones.B．Because they are not familiar with the structure of the body.C．Because they have an unhealthy diet and do not exercise enough.D．Because they can't afford a qualified doctor.14．We can learn from the article that________.A. the storage of calcium in our body doesn't change even when we grow oldB．many American parents have ignored the dangers of their kids getting fractures C．a daily diet rich in calcium and vitamin D is necessary for strong bones D．half an hour of muscle exercises a day is enough for kids to develop strong bones15. The main idea of the passage is that________.A．proper diet and exercise is of benefit to people's bone healthB．kids in America don't like exercisingC．people in America don't have proper dietD．one's body is like a houseⅡ.任务型阅读How to find time for yourselfDo you ever find yourself longing for some time for yourself?

AIt's easy to see how to help some people， but what about those whose needs are not so obvious？This story may have happened not long ago—but it was a lesson which has stayed with me and helped me ever since.It was Thanksgiving and I was volunteering with my parents at a shelter for the needy (贫穷的). We stood behind the counter serving hot food to whoever came in. Most of our diners looked like they had been having hard times， their clothes were worn out and dirty. In short， they looked needy！Then， a man came in， who looked anything but needy.He was well dressed， he wore an expensive suit.I wondered what he was doing there and my jaw (下巴) dropped in amazement when he joined the line for food.The closer he came to my service station the more I muttered (嘟囔).What was this man doing？Surely he wasn't going to take food， which was meant for those who were really in need！Then my mother quietly took me to one side.She said，“You have assumed that the needs of the people who come here must be purely physical hunger， inadequate shelter，clothing，etc.And this gentleman doesn't seem to have any of those problems.But what if his needs are emotional？What if he needs comfort， friends，or just to be among other human beings？”Her words hit me like a ton of bricks！I felt like I should apologize to the man — but I didn't.About a week later the shelter received a large donation from an anonymous source.I can't help but wonder if it came from that man.Now， whenever I meet someone I remember my mother's lesson and try to send kindness and blessings their way， regardless of how they look.Needs aren't always visible.But kindness always makes a difference.( )1.How did the author feel when the man came to his service station？A.Embarrassed.B.Doubtful.C.Pitiful.D.Hopeful.( )2.According to the text， the author's parents.A.ran the shelter all by themselvesB.did good things only on some daysC.were good at educating the authorD.showed no concern to the rich man( )3.What is the best title for this text？A.My Mother's Influence on My GrowthB.Importance of Volunteering in a ShelterC.One of My Most Shameful ExperiencesD.My Mother's Simple Lesson in Kindness本文讲述了在避难所一次志愿者活动中，母亲的一番话让作者明白了一个道理：别以貌取人。

高中英语 Unit 5 Travelling abroad（考试总分：100 分考试时间： 120 分钟）一、阅读理解（本题共计 10 小题，每题 10 分，共计100分）1、I was born in England, but I am an American. Americans like to travel on their yearly holiday. Today, more and more travelers in the United States are spending nights at small houses or inns (客栈) instead of hotels. They get a room for the night and the breakfast the next morning.Rooms for the night in private homes with breakfast have been popular with travelers in Europe for many years. In the past five to ten years, these bed-and-breakfast places have become popular in the United States. Many of these America’s bed-and-breakfast inns are old historic buildings. Some bed-and-breakfast inns have only a few rooms; others are much larger. Some inns do not provide telephones or televisions in the rooms; others do.Staying at a bed-and-breakfast inn is much different from staying at a hotel. Usually the cost is much less. Staying at an inn is almost like visiting someone’s home. The owners are glad to tell about the areas and the interesting places to visit. Many vacationers say they enjoy the chance to meet local families.4. Americans take a holiday trip ______.A. every yearB. for yearsC. all the year roundD. every other year5. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?A. Some Americans like to stay at bed-and-breakfast homes instead of hotels.B. The bed-and-breakfast inns are private homes opened to vacationers.C. The bed-and-breakfast inn owners provide a morning meal for their visitors and a room for the night.D. The bed-and-breakfast inns have been popular in America for a very long time.6. Why do American travelers prefer staying at bed-and-breakfast inns?A. It is like visiting someone’s home.B. The money they spend there is much less.C. They can meet local families.D. All of the above.7. What’s the author’s nationality?A. EnglandB. AmericanC. EuropeanD. Chinese2、As the weather costs you a loss on trains and flights, we look at your rights.Cancelled trainsOn a single ticket, a passenger will usually receive 25% of the fare if the train is delayed by 15 minutes. If the delay reaches 30 minutes, the compensation (补偿金) rises to 50%, and if it’s over an hour you should be able to reclaim the whole cost. Clear arrangements vary according to train operators (运营商).If you were due to travel, to say Aberdeen from London, your train is cancelled and you decide not to travel, you can get a full compensation. If you had a non-cancelable ticket with one operator, and failed to make that train because the connecting train was delayed, you can take the next available train.FlightsIf your flight is cancelled because of the snow you have the right to s full compensation of the ticket, or to be rerouted home on a later flight.But you will have no right to get a delay or cancellation compensation under EU rules, because the snow is an extraordinary circumstance beyond the airline’s control. If you don’t take the compensation and choose to be rerouted, and it means you are stuck at the airport overnight, it’s the airline’s duty to pay for a reasonably priced hotel room and meals.The airline has to reroute you at the earliest opportunity, or at the passenger’s free time, you are supposed to take the availability of seats.If you choose to be rerouted or if your departure is delayed by more than two hours, airlines also have to provide assistance such as food. The airlines keep this quiet and getting the money out of the low-cost operators can be a hard job. Keep evidence of cancellations, all receipts, and use your mobile to video any offer to pay by airline staff.55. What is your compensation determined by when your trains are delayed due to bad weather?A. The operator.B. The price of the ticket.C. The length of delay time.D. The class of the service and the price of the ticket.56. How many choices do you have if you are to travel Aberdeen from London, and your train is cancelled?A. One.B. Two.C. Three.D. Four.57. How can you save the trouble in getting g money out of the low-cost operators?A. By keeping the evidence and videoing any offer to pay.B. At the earliest opportunity, or the passenger’s free time.C. By preventing the airlines from keeping their duty quiet.D. By arguing reasonably with the staff of the airlines offering you the flight.3、Why do we always want to go faster? I am talking about travel. We want our cars, trains and planes to get us to places quicker. This century, there’s been a rise in high-speed rail travel as people have seen the benefits of this form of transport.I love train travel and have experienced the efficient and fast trains that operate in France and Japan. The acceleration and top speed of these trains are impressive. The space and comfort on board make it comfortable and the ability to see something out of the window means, according to me, it will beat air travel one day.Spain recently joined the railway revolution with its A VE ultra-modern high-speed train that has a top speed of 310 kilometers per hour. Its service from Madrid to Barcelona took 20% of passengers away from Spain’s national airline. In Japan, a magnetic train that will run at 500 kilometers per hour is being developed.This has categorized rail travel in Britain as the slow line. It has one high-speed line from London to France – HIS- but now it is planning to construct a new line called HS2 which will connect London with the north of England. The U. K. government, transport secretary says, “This is essential to actually making sure th at our great cities are connected and we get the right benefits for the United Kingdom.”But not everyone agrees. The idea of fast train travel may appeal but not if it, going to be built in your backyard. It’s controversial: people are arguing over the be nefits and cost of having shorter journey time, less traffic on the roads and more capacity on the tall network.John Kelleher, who is a farmer and lives on the proposed site of the new line, says, “They’ re not taking the destruction into consideration, which HS2 will cause on its construction sites and routes through the countryside.” Some people are worried the financial and environmental cost of saving just half an hour on a journey will be too high. But other countries have shown that high-speed rail is good for the economy. It has helped poorer parts of the country reduce the need to fly and has made train travel cool.69. Which is the most comfortable form of travel according to the author?A. Rail.B. Air.C. Highway.D. Underground.70. Which statement is not the benefit of the fast train travel?A. Construction of it will benefit the environment of the countryside.B. It reduces traffic jam.C. It saves some time on a journey.D. It can hold more people. 71. What is the author, attitude toward the fast train?A. Supportive.B. Negative.C. Doubtful.D. Objective.72. What is the main idea of the passage?A. People benefit from high-speed rail a lot.B. More and more people are fond of traveling.C. High-speed rail travel has developed quickly recently.D. Travel means having a vital effect on local economy.4、London is great. It’s great. Rome and Paris were fine places, but I knew as soon as we landed in London, this was the finest of the three.There are only two small things which I don’t like about London. First of all, everyone speaks English here. I had so much fun in Rome and Paris. There I could speak in foreign languages. In words, I made a lot of friends that way. But here everybody can understand me. I don’t have any reason to start up a conversation with a stranger. And speaking of restaurants that is the other problem with London. The food here is no good at all! I haven’t had one good meal in the three days we’ve been here.Since you asked me to write to you about everything I learned on this trip, here is what I’ve learned about London.London’s population of eleven million makes it the second largest city in the world. It is bigger than New York but not as big as Tokyo. London is twice the size of New York. It has an area of 620 square miles!The Thames River runs right through the center of the city. Someone once called the Thames “liquid history”. It is a very good name. Dozens of armies have crossed it over the past few thousand years. One of the first was the army of Julius Caesar two thousand years ago. And most recently Mr. and Mrs. Gill.So far I have only had time to visit one neighborhood. It is called Bloomsbury. In fact, there is a group of writers known as the Bloomsbury Group. It got its name because so many of them lived there. Virginia Woolf was one of them. I know how much you like her novels.Baker Street is also part of Bloomsbury. Do you remember who once lived on Baker Street When I asked Bob this question, he answered, “a man who baked bread, right” Sherlock Holmes, of course, I won’t have time to find his address. Maybe you will when you come.112. We learn from the first two paragraphs that ______.A. it is more difficult to start up a conversation in English in London than in any languagesB. the writer had made a trip in Italy and France before she came to EnglandC. of all the meals the writer has had in London, only one she thinks is good enoughD. the writer hates to talk to strangers who can speak English113. It seems that the writer ______.A. can speak English as a foreign languageB. does not like her mother languageC. does not speak French at allD. can speak French as a foreign language114. Who do you think Mr. and Mrs. Gill areA. A famous general and his wife.B. A famous American writer and his wife.C. Two friends of the writer’s.D. The writer and her husband.115. Who once lived on Baker StreetA. A man who baked bread.B. Sherlock Holmes.C. The former US Secretary of State.D. A friend of the writer’s.5、In many cases, you ability to understand the local language directly affects the quality of your travel experience. For some travelers, the challenge of learning a new tongue is one of the joys of travel, and as a result, they spend much of their time in conversations with local citizens. Others will find that just learning to read the most common signs and use every-day greetings is enough.?No matter which view you agree with, it’s necessary to take some time to learn some of the simple phrases of the new language before you go. One way of finishing this task is by listening to the new language. A phrase book can help expand your vocabulary, but hearing the sounds of the different spoken words is an excellent activity that can be done right in the comfort of your home. You can see movies in the new language or listen to the tapes or CDs. You can also download some listening material from the Internet. Just spending 15 minutes a night will improve your language skills.When you arrive in the new land, begin by greeting new friends in their own tongue. This may come easy or it could take some time to learn, but it’s interesting. If you can’t do this, then it means that you will need more practice and patience to learn these very important words. You can go out during the day and begin one-one-one conversations with shop owners, business-men hand taxi drivers. This should not be one until you have learned some of the most common phrases, but one you begin to go shopping in a second language your communication skills will start to improve rapidly. You can also watch the local TV or listen to the local radio. For example, the advertisements (广告) will help you recognize the correct pronunciation of local street names.109. What does the underlined word “tongue” in Paragraph I refer to?A. languageB. signC. vocabularyD. greeting110. When could a traveler start one-one-one conversations with local people? A. When he has mastered enough grammar rulesB. The moment he steps in the place he is visitingC. After he has many movies in the local tongueD. Once he has learned some of the most common phrases111. What’s the last paragraph mainly about?A. How to prepare for travelingB. How to enjoy oneself during travelingC. How to learn a new language during travelingD. How important it is to learn a new language well6、Some of my fondest memories with my family are from when I was in middle school, when the three of us enjoyed trips that I remember vividly to this day. But during my younger days, like 4 or 5 years old, we vacationed in places like Cancun, Jamaica and Hawaii and I can’t tell whether I actually recall those memories or whether I’m filling in the gaps through photo albums.A frequent discussion I have with my coworkers and friends, who are also in their 20s, is how we wish our parents had taken us on more vacations when we were much older. What I suggest is to hold off on those grand vacations until your kid is about 12, when they can begin to understand what a privilege is, and you can save the international travel until they’re in high school. Of course, I do understand that sometimes, it’s not the kids but the parents just want to enjoy a vacation. But in other cases, when the main goal is to create family memories, you can still accomplish that in other ways.It wasn’t until college that I realized how important travel is, and I can’t tell you how many times I’ve thought about wanting to redo those family trips now. Especially during a time in my life when an international trip is outside of my budget, I think about how much money my parents spent on our vacations that ended up being a complete blur.I’m not telling you to deprive (剥夺) your children of fun family memories, either. I’m simply arguing that you should travel locally or within your state. Although your little ones might not care about the destination, they will remember that you were all together and having a great time. That’s the most important thing, anyway.41. When recalling the previous trip to Hawaii, the author may feel ______.A. disappointedB. excitedC. touchedD. frightened42. What time does the author think is the right time for children to travel abroad?A. When they start to go to school.B. When they are 4 or 5 years old.C. When they study in high school.D. When they are eager to have a trip.43. What does the underlined word “blur" in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. Jokes that were made between families.B. Efforts that were made to achieve a goal.C. Memories that can’t be remembered clearly.D. Expectations that may be reached in future.44. What may be the best title for the text?A. Create Chances of Vacation with ChildrenB. My Memories of Those Previous VacationsC. Older Children Hope to Travel with Their ParentsD. Take Children on Vacation until They Are Old Enough7、Many Americans think of driverless cars as a futuristic technology that will revolutionize travel in cities and along state highways. But recent experiments are proving that autonomous vehicles also have the potential to improve the quality of life for millions of Americans underserved by traditional ways of transportation, such as the elderly and disabled, so long as lawmakers make smart policies that pave the way for innovation.A retirement community in San Jose, Calif., which has been transformed by a small fleet (车队) of driverless taxis, shows the potential of self-driving cars to transform people’s lives. Built by a tech start-up called V oyage, the modified (被改进的) Ford Fusions are currently limited to a two-mile road, but residents are already having the benefits of these autonomous vehicles, which allow them to participate in social activities they would otherwise be unable to enjoy simply because they could not get to them.When the trial run finally expands to 15 miles of road, these residents—whose average age is 76—will also have a convenient and reliable new way to appointments. As these cars continue to serve residents there, it is easy to understand why California is moving to simplify regulations for the industry.In Michigan, forward-thinking policies have the potential to unlock other hidden benefits of autonomous vehicles, especially for those with physical disabilities. The Michigan Disability Rights Coalition has strongly advocated for the development of this technology, saying that it could give people with disabilities greater opportunities in the workforce and enable them to lead more fulfilling(满意的), independent lives.Many recognize that autonomous vehicles will be the future of transportation, but it is too often overlooked that this future cannot arrive fast enough for millions of Americans who are forced to depend on others for day-to-day travel. The policymakers should follow the lead of places like California and Michigan, and pass rules and regulations to unlock these hidden benefits of driverless cars.72. What’s the attitude of most American people to the future of autonomous vehicles?A. uncertainB. doubtfulC. indifferentD. optimistic73. What is the modified Ford Fusion?A. The collection of social activities.B. The name of a retirement community.C. A kind of autonomous vehicle.D. A two-mile road for self-driving cars.74. Examples are given in the third and fourth paragraphs to proveA. what are preventing the development of the technologyB. why driverless cars are restricted in many states in AmericaC. how driverless technology benefits the aged and disabledD. when driverless cars can enter people’s life eventually75. What does the author attempt to inform us in the last paragraph?A. The concept of autonomous vehicles has been widely recognized.B. The weak groups are often overlooked despite technology advances.C. The benefits of driverless cars have been fully unlocked.D. Regulations should go hand in hand with driverless technology.8、Pakistan should be everyone’s tourist destination for 2018, but what if you already live there?Then perhaps you should consider visiting these five must- visit places for the new year.Lake Saiful MulukAt an altitude of 3, 224m, surrounded by now mountains, the lake rewards those that make the three-hour uphill walk from Naran. You will find the pathway just above the free market, but there is a superior option to get a jeep and split the costs with some other tourists; expect to pay about 700 rupees, worth it to view this natural beauty.Deosai National ParkAs another high point in Pakistan, it has an average altitude of 4,114m---the Deosai Plains are one of the highest plateaus (高原) in the world. If you make it to the park, you expect to find rich plants and wild animals. The breathtaking scenery on show at the plains is enough to make 2018 a memorable year.Naltar ValleyAccessible via a 2.5---hour drive from Gilgit, well worth visiting. Covered with pine trees and other plants, it has a dreamlike feel about it. Various colors all year around make you fall in love.Shangrila ResortRight in the north of Pakistan in the Central valley of Gilgit-Baltistan. Locals call this a paradise (乐园), and that’s what it feels like. No visit is complete without checking out the restaurant which is built in the structure of an aircraft.Rama MeadowDoesn’t feel like Pakistan at all, more like somewhere in Minnesota. Watch the sheep and cows feeding while clear water flows in streams from high in the mountains. Against Chongra’s ice-covered peak, this little meadow is a piece art.13. What is the best means to go to Lake Saiful Muluk?A. Drive a jeep in person.B. Take the way of ride sharingC. Choose an uphill walk from NaranD. Follow the pathway above the free market14. Where may you go if interested in wild animals?A. Lake Saiful MulukB. Deosai National ParkC. Rama MeadowD. Naltar Valley.15. What can we know about Rama Meadow?A. It is what the Pakistanis like best.B. It is just located next to MinnesotaC. It is an attractive and peaceful place.D. It is a dream destination for adventurers.9、Right in front of the Minneapolis Central Library, a row of green bikes sits parked in a special stand. Each bike is designed with the logo “Nice Ride”—the name of the city’s bike-share program.Nice Ride bikes are a lot like the library books that people come here to borrow. To rent a bike, you simply use your membership card at a Nice Ride bike station. Members can rent one of l, 200 bikes from 138 stations throughout Minnesota’s largest city. People use the Nice Ride bikes to go to work, to go out on business, or just to enjoy the city’s many bike paths.The rise of bike-share programs like Nice Ride is encouraging more people than ever to choose biking over driving. Skyrocketing gas prices and concerns about the environment have also gotten people to dust off their bike helmets, pump air into flat tires, and hit the road.Why ride? Not only is biking good exercise but switching from a car to a bike also cuts down the amount of pollution in the air. Carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas linked to climate change, is one of the many polluting substances that come out of a car’s tail pipe.Bike-share systems are found around the world in cities like London, Paris, Barcelona, and Melbourne, Australia. The largest program with 70, 000 bikes—is in Wuhan, China.To make roads friendlier to non-motorists, the U. S. Department of Transportation has invested more than a billion dollars in cycling and pedestrian projects in recent years. The money went toward building thousands of miles of on-street bike lanes and pedestrian-only passages called greenways.116. Which of the following can people do with the bikes?A. Earn a living.B. Enjoy bikeways.C. Compete in a race.D. Rent them out to others.117. What is Paragraph four mainly about?A. Benefits of biking.B. Pollution caused by cars.C. Methods to use the bikes.D. Measures to decrease pollution.118. Which of the following is true of Nice Ride?A. China has better public bike systems.B. It will take the place of taxi companies.C. It attracts more people to choose biking.D. The government lacks money to support it.119. What is the author’s purpose in writing this text?A. To seek advice for Nice Ride.B. To compare Nice Ride with libraries.C. To raise money for bike-share programs.D. To introduce the bike system in public places.10、I’ve personally traveled through many countries that have had U.S. government warnings issued for them, and I’ve bee n perfectly safe. Specifically, in the last year, I have travelled safely to both the Philippines and Mexico, and traveled to many South Pacific islands during the tropical cyclone (热带气旋) season and only experienced two days of light rain in six months!. T his is, of course, anecdotal, so it’s important that you do your research before booking your trip.One thing I recommend doing is checking for recent posts on travel forums (论坛), such as Lonely Planet’s Thorntree, to see what people are saying about the c ountry you’ll visit in terms of safety. The U.S. government may make out that an entire country is extremely unsafe when in reality, it’s a small part of it that tourists will be unlikely to visit. Read the travel warnings, too, to see which parts of the country the government recommends that you avoid.Additionally, it’s worth speaking to your travel insurance provider before you leave to check that you’ll be covered during your travels to these countries. Some insurance companies won’t cover you if there’s a severe warning for the country, but some will. Travel insurance is a necessity, so it’s definitely something to check out before you leave.Keep in mind that the U.S. government will help you with emergency evacuation (撤离) from a troubled country, but it comes in the form of a repatriation (归国) loan via the Office of American Citizens Services and Crisis Management (ACS), which can be called to rescue you from a bad situation abroad. Remember by heart that you’ll have to wait overseas for the money to arrive and eventually repay the loan once you’re home safely. Just another reason to get travel insurance!33. What should you do before a travel according to Paragraph 1?A. Make a good route plan.B. Read the travel books first.C. Ask the government for help.D. Make a careful study of the trip.34. What does the author advise you to check for on travel forums？A. Travel safety.B. Lonely planet.C. Tourist places.D. Weather forecast.35. Why is it necessary to know about travel insurance companies?A. They sometimes offer bad service.B. They may provide false information.C. They seldom talk with customers.D. Some of them don’t cover all the countries.36. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. Getting travel insurance is the best choice.B. U.S government is very generous.C. It’s easy to escape from a troubled country.D. ACS will repay the loan for you.一、阅读理解（本题共计 10 小题，每题 10 分，共计100分）1、【答案】ADDB【解析】本文是一篇说明文，美国人十分喜欢旅行，近年来在美国bed-and-breakfast inns变得流行起来，文章分析了其中的原因。

Unit 5 Travelling abroadⅠ.Ⅱ.阅读理解Holidays are really important. Many of us have childhood memories of summer holidays where we were taken away from home to experience new environments and learn in different ways.But holidays are expensive and, for those on low wages or living on benefits, they are often unobtainable. Even the cheapest holidays require travel and other additional costs that are difficult for many families to meet.For working parents，the long summer break can be a very difficult problem for childcare. When an annual leave allowance amounts to only five weeks, there is a need to spread this across the year. Couples can find themselves taking leave in turn in order to care for children who are on holiday. For some, this makes even an affordable family holiday difficult.The schools that I visit in Nottingham are full of experienced staff committed （承诺） to giving our children a caring and inspiring learning environment. The number of children receiving free school meals is quite large in Nottingham and many schools have breakfast clubs to make sure that children get a healthy start to the day. Most schools undertake programs of group or individual educational support. Schools also have an important role in safeguarding children’s welfare through the ongoing touch and support with their pupils. During the long summer holidays, much of this is missed.While teachers are holidaying in the UK, many of their pupils spend the whole six weeks on the street where they live. The lack of free school meals for six weeks can result in pressure on a family budget and an inability to afford the inspiring experiences that help children to continue their learning.In setting out its plans for a five-term year, Nottingham City Council（委员会） is seeking to reduce the summer holiday down to four and a half weeks, with a more balanced five terms of roughly eight weeks, each followed by a two-week break. We believe this will give real “down time” for school staff and pupils alike but will be short enough not to cause a real break in learning.We acknowledge that this change may be difficult for some school staff, particularly whose own children are educated in other authorities. However, this must be weighed against the benefits for city children for whom we all have the greatest duty of care.1.What does the text mainly talk about?A.The importance of the holiday.B.The holiday reduction plan.C.The balance of holidays and school days.D.The necessity of cutting down the long holiday.2.The underlined word “they” in the second paragraph refers to .A.holidaysB.familiesC.salariesD.benefits3.The plans for a shorter summer holiday will help students .A.ob tain the cheapest holidays without additional costsB.get a chance to spend 8 weeks a term with teachers in schoolC.benefit more from the caring and inspiring learning environmentD.have more school days to receive free school meals4.It can be inferred from the text that .A.working parents can enjoy a five-week break to care for their childrenB.some school staff may say “No” to the plans for a shorter summer holidayC.the long summer holiday gives teache rs and students real “down time”D.the suggested plans for a five-term school year can hardly be carried outWhen many of us take a vacation , relaxing is what we want. But we usually return home tired and weak. It doesn’t have to be this way.Come home refreshed after an active trip！Don’t be too tired!Active vacations are often the most relaxing of all. It’s all in defining(定义) what an active vacation is. We don’t expect you to run slowly, or go backpacking. Well, we ask the vacationers who are not active not to sit too long but to spend two to four hours a day doing things, such as walking the city streets, exploring a nature protect, going to a zoo or biking along the ocean.These kinds of activities aren’t just good for your physical health. They improve your mental health, even your spiritual health. And they make vacations memorable and worthwhile. And after all, isn’t that what you want from your vacation? Here are some fresh ideas to make your vacations as pleasurable as they are active and healthy.A walk at dawn or dusk is necessary. Try to make this a daily routine of life away from home, and you will ensure yourself both physical and spiritual adding. Don’t allow yourself to spend your entire time sitting in front of the water. Whether it is the ocean, a swimming pool, or a tree-lined lake, make sure you get into the water for swimming or games or even walking. Heck, merely standing in waist-high water is a good exercise, thanks to the action of the water. And you will feel so much more alive!Many of us spend a large piece of our vacations on the road, either getting to and from our destinations, or using the car for sightseeing. But no matter how beautiful the scenery is, great, memorable vacations don’t happen in a car sea t. Don’t wait for tiredness or nature’s call to get you to pull over. Frequently get out and stretch, walk, picnic, shop, visit, and have fun. It’s important for your health and energy, and it makes travelling a lot more active and interesting. 5.The writer writes the text mainly to____.A. introduce the relationship between vacations and healthB. tell us how to make our vacations relaxingC. show us where we should go for our vacationsD. explain to us why we feel tired when traveling6.What does the und erlined word “refreshed” in Paragraph 2 mean?A. Full and excited.B. Pleasant but tired.C. Feeling less tired.D. Feeling regretted.7.What advantage can “the activities” in Paragraph 5 bring?A. They can improve our health as well as making us feel easy.B. They just can keep us feel excited and confident.C. They can bring us more chances to get out.D. They can save us much time and make the trip meaningful.8.In the last paragraph, the writer seems to advise us to____.A. go on vacation by carB. not to spend too much time on the roadC. make a trip on footD. get out of the car for sightseeingⅡ.语法填空I enjoy doing physical training in my free time.

Unit 5 Travelling abroadAIf you want to fully enjoy your vacation, then you'dbetter check the Durban City Tours! This is actually one ofthe best choices in South Africa today.There is nothing more relaxing than to think about thatthere is a place to go and relax, right? City life isstrained,_but you can escape this situation and be in theplace where there is nothing but relaxation. Here in Durban you will get to see all the amazing tourist attractions. If you love animals and want to see some elephants wandering around the streets, then Durban is the place to go. You can even get to ride one if you want!Here you will also get to taste all the delicious South African food. You can choose from Italian cooking to its native dishes. Durban is a great place to tour with your friends and family. You will learn a lot about its history through the landmarks you will see down the streets.Tourists_and_even_the_local_villagers_just_can't_get_enough_of_these_tre ats!However, it is important that you make the necessary arrangements. There are actually lots of tour guides that will help you as you make your journey along the streets of Durban. But if you prefer the best tour guides here in Durban, then you'd better settle for the Street Scene Tours.Their staff are all well­trained and professional.They will certainly make your stay here an unforgettable one.No wonder tourists prefer the Street Scene Tours when it comes to Durban City Tours.1．The underlined word “strained” in Para. 2 means________.A ．easyB ．stressfulC ．steadyD ．casual2．What is the main idea of Paragraph 2?A ．Durban is a relaxing city.B ．People don't like city life.C．It is good to have a place to relax.D．One can have fun riding elephants.3．What does the last sentence in Paragraph 3 show?A．The food can't satisfy them.B．They are bored with the streets.C．They are treated very well here.D．They never get tired of the sights.4．The author wrote the last paragraph mainly to________.A．attract tourists to DurbanB．help readers make arrangementsC．introduce the tour guides in DurbanD．persuade tourists to choose the Street Scene ToursBI've spent over a year in India, and in those 365 plus days, I've learned a lot about getting around Indian cities. My biggest lessons have been learned through being cheated, particularly by taxi and rickshaw (人力车) drivers, but that doesn't mean those are bad ways to travel, as long as you know what you're doing. Below are the best ways to get around the city of Delhi, India, and tips for how to keep from being the victim of scams (欺骗)．Taking taxis is a great way to get around the city of Delhi and chances are, if you arrive in Delhi by plane, as soon as you make it through customs, you'll be swarmed by Indian taxi drivers. At the Delhi airport, be sure to arrange for a taxi to your hotel at one of the two Delhi Traffic Police Taxi Booths. One is inside the airport, and one is outside. The key is to make sure to go to a booth run by the police, rather than by independent taxi drivers.Rickshaws are one of my favorite ways to get around Indian cities, in part because it's how the locals often travel. Auto­rickshaws are more common, but bicycle rickshaws are still used in Old Delhi. If you do have a chance to take a bicycle rickshaw, you should do it at least once for a unique experience that should only set you back about 15 rupees. Auto­rickshaw rates around Delhi range between 30 and 80 rupees, depending on distance.If you really want to travel around Delhi like the locals, take a public bus. Indian buses become very crowded and most do not have air conditioning. They are, however, very cheap. A bus trip won't set you back any more than 15 rupees, as longas you stay within the city limits. Since Indian buses get so crowded, try to board the bus at the start of the route so you can get a seat.The train is a great way to get around within the city of Delhi. Fares are reasonable, between six and 22 rupees. All departure announcements are in both Hindi and English, and tokens can be purchased for between six and 22 rupees.5．To avoid being cheated, you ought to________if you want to take a taxi at the Delhi airport.A．pay more to the drivers to keep safeB．show your ticket to the driverC．go to a police­run boothD．go out of the airport6．The author suggests taking a rickshaw in order to ________.A．save some money B．enjoy the comfortable tripC．gain some unique experience D．help the local rickshaw drivers7. What can we infer from the passage?A．You won't have to pay much if you travel around by bus in India.B．It will be difficult for you to get a seat if you get on the bus halfway.C．A rickshaw driver only charges whatever amount you give him.D．You'll have to speak English if you travel around in India.8．Which may be the topic that follows?A．Hotel recommendations in Delhi. B．Weather conditions in Delhi.C．Food and drink in Delhi. D．Car rentals in Delhi.CDo you know the open­air art gallery in London's Blackall Street? Probably not. Not many Londoners know it either, but Henri does and he is willing to show it to you.Henri used to sleep in parks until he met a charity (慈善机构) that helps homeless people get back on their feet by becoming tour guides.Rather than show traditional London sights, “Unseen Tours” take_people_off_the_beaten_track. Henri has been teaching tourists about the history and architecture of Shoreditch, where he slept on public benches for three years.When he felt separated from the society, c ontact with the volunteer network “The Sock Mob” gave Henri hope. “Not everyone just looked down on me，” he said. The tours aren't the only actions trying to help those who have suffered a misfortuneto stand tall again.An innovative (创新的) college for homeless people in London, the first of its kind in the country, is attracting hundreds of students. The Recovery College, set up by St Mungo's charity, is providing courses designed to improve technical skills and life skills.According to Andy Williams, who helps to organize the college, the most popular courses have proved to be about raising self­confidence and developing self­pride.Steve, now in his 50s, told a reporter how much of a difference it makes to “have a bit of confidence”. He had difficulty le arning to read and had to leave school when he was 12. Because Steve's problem was not recognized at the time, he was “seen to be unable to read or write”， and suffered with depression and alcohol addiction. He says the status of “student” is itself import ant for people who are used to being treated as outcasts (被遗弃者)．Some charities aim not only to help the homeless become independent but also to make them popular. The Homeless World Cup started ten years ago. Today the tournament draws teams from 48 count ries made up of players­men and women­who are, or have been, living in the streets.

Or do you hate being told to go for a run when your favorite TV show is on?Well, maybe you should listen to your parents because they are only trying to help you. Without proper diet and exercise kids are at risk of developing fragile bones when they get older. That's because our bodies are very good at building bones until about the age of 30, when the process stops.Dr. Lawrence Raisz, scientific editor of The 2004 Surgeon General's Report on Bone Health and Osteoporosis (骨质疏松症), agrees. “We're in bad shape，” he says. His report predicts that by 2020, half of all Americans over the age of 50 will be at risk of fractures (骨折) because of low bone mass. “Kids today are — what's the expression？—they're computer potatoes. They have lots of soft drinks and not enough good calcium­rich (富含钙质的) food.” And therein (在其中) lies the problem, because calcium and exercise, along with vitamin D, are the important components for building up strong bones.If you think of your body as a house, then your skeleton (骨架) is the supporting frame — a frame maintained and strengthened by calcium. Once we hit our 30s, our bodies start to draw from the calcium stored in our bones. If there is enough calcium, then the structure will stand firm, but if there's not? Picture the frame of a house devoured (吞噬) by termites (白蚁), the wood brittle (易折的) and filled with holes. That's what osteoporosis does to your skeleton.The second half of the skeleton building equation (等式) is exercise. For optimum (最适宜的) bone health, the Surgeon General recommends that children get 60 minutes of weight­bearing (负重) or strengthening exercise a day. As with muscles, bones grow stronger with use; plenty of exercise means plenty of bones health. “If you do an hour of exercise a day, it doesn't matter so much what it is，” Raisz says.“You're telling your bones they've got to grow！”13．According to Dr Lawrence Raisz, why will many Americans have weak bones in the future?A．Because their body will stop building bones.B．Because they are not familiar with the structure of the body.C．Because they have an unhealthy diet and do not exercise enough.D．Because they can't afford a qualified doctor.14．We can learn from the article that________.A. the storage of calcium in our body doesn't change even when we grow oldB．many American parents have ignored the dangers of their kids getting fractures C．a daily diet rich in calcium and vitamin D is necessary for strong bones D．half an hour of muscle exercises a day is enough for kids to develop strong bones15. The main idea of the passage is that________.A．proper diet and exercise is of benefit to people's bone healthB．kids in America don't like exercisingC．people in America don't have proper dietD．one's body is like a houseⅡ.任务型阅读How to find time for yourselfDo you ever find yourself longing for some time for yourself?

Smiling happy, he was talking to some young people. “This man look familiar，” I thought to me. Then my heart beat fast. He was my most favourite musician!I had always been dreaming of meeting him someday and having a talk to him. And now he just appeared, and I simply don't know what to do.

But people fail to realize the importance of training these factors in young people.The so-called “non-intelligence factors” (非智力因素) include 16 feelings, will, motivation, interests and habits. After a 30-year-follow-up study of 8 000 males, American psychologists (心理学家) 17 that the main cause of disparities in intelligence is not intelligence 18 , but non-intelligence factors including the desire to learn, will-power and self-confidence.19 people all know that one should have definite objectives, a strong will and good learning habits, qui te a number of teachers and parents don't pay much attention to 20 these factors.Some parents are greatly worried 21 their children fail to do Well in their studies. They blame either genetic (遗传的) factors, malnutrition (营养不良), or laziness, but they never take 22 consideration these non-intelligence factors. At the same time, some teachers don't inquire into these as reasons 23 students do poorly. They simply give them more courses and exercises, or 24 criticize or laugh at them. After all, these students lose self-confidence. Some of them just feel defeated and 25 themselves up as hopeless. Others may go astray (迷途的) because they are sick of learning. 26 investigation of more than 1000 middle school students in Shanghai showed that 46.5 percent of them were 27 of learning, because of examinations, 36. 4 percent lacked persistence, initiative and consciousness and 10. 3 percent were sick of learning.It is clear 28 the lack of cultivation of non-intelligence factors has been a main 29 to intelligence development in teenagers. It even causes an imbalance between physiological (生理的)and 30 development among a few students.If we don't start now to 31 the cultivation of non-intelligence factors, it will not only affect the development of the 32 of teenagers, but also affect the quality of a whole generation. Some experts have put forward 33 about how to cultivate students' non-intelligence factors.First, parents and teachers should 34 understand teenage psychology. On this basis, they can help them to pursue (调动) the objectives of learning, 35 their interests and toughening their will-power.16. A. one's B. their C. his D. her17.

Johnson was born in a black family in Arkansas city in 1918. His father died in an accident when John was six. He was reaching the high school age, but his hometown offered no high school for blacks.Fortunately he had a strong-willed (意志坚强的) caring mother. John remembered that his mother told him many times, “Son, you can be anything you want really to be if you just believe.”She told him not to depend on others, including his mother. “You have to earn success, ”she said. “All the people who work hard don't succeed, but the only people who do succeed are those who work hard.”These words came from a woman with less than a third grade education. She also knew that believing and hard work don't mean everything. So she worked hard as a cook for two years to save enough to take her son, who was then 15, to Chicago. Chicago in 1933 was not the promised land that black southerners were looking for. John's mother and stepfather could not find work. But here John could go to school, and here he learned the power of words—as an editor of the newspaper and yearbook at Du Sable High School His wish was to publish a magazine for blacks.While others discouraged him, John's mother offered him more words to live by.“Nothing beats a failure but a try. ”She also let him pawn(典当)her furniture to get the $ 500 he needed to start the Negro magazine.It is natural that difficulties and failures followed John closely until he became very successful. He always keeps his mother's words in mind.“Son, failure is not in your vocabulary!”Now John H. Johnson is one of the 400 richest people in America—worth $ 150 million.36. John's mother decided to move to Chicago because _____.A. his father died when John was very youngB. life was too hard for them to stay on in their hometownC. John needed more education badlyD. there were no schools for Negroes in their hometown37. John's motherA. didn't believe in or depend on othersB. thought one could be whatever one wanted to beC. believed one would succeed without working hardD. thought no one could succeed without working hard38. The underlined sentence“Nothing beats a failure but a try. ”means _____.A. if you try, you would succeedB. a failure is difficult to beat, even if you tryC. a try is always followed by a failureD. no failure can be beaten unless you try39. The story mainly tells us _____.A. how John H. Johnson became successfulB. about the mental (心理的) support John's mother gave himC. about the importance of a good educationD. about the key to success for blacksBThe Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake at 5:46 a. rn. on January 17, 1995,Kobe (神户) and its surrounding areas suffered a killer earthquake. Only two other events in this century, the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923 and World War II caused more deaths in Japan than this earthquake. The epicenter was at the northern tip of Awaji Island. The quake registered (记录) 7.2 on the Richter scale (里氏震级). The greatest amount of damage was seen in the Japanese port city of Kobe, and at final count 6 348 people had lost their lives.The people of the area were quite unprepared for such a big earthquake. Experts had said that most modern buildings would be quite safe even from an earthquake as strong as the Great Kanto Earthquake. This was clearly not true. Television cameras showed the many buildings that had fallen down. The highway that ran through the city had fallen over on its side looking as if it had been pushed over by a giant (巨人). Thousands of people were homeless, However, some of the finest human qualities were seen in the time of crises (moment of great danger). People formed long lines for water and other supplies. They shared what they had with one another. People from young to old stopped to talk to each other and give a few encouraging words. The people living in the area knew that their old life had been destroyed. They believe they can rebuild their life, and a better one,40. Only two other events caused more deaths in Japan. They are _____.A. the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake and the Second World WarB. the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923 and World War IIC. the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923 and the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake of 1995D. the First World War and the Second World War41. Which of the following is true?A. The Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake was the greatest in the world history.B. The ear thquake broke out in summer.C.

The passage seems to suggest that _____.A. a giant was able to start an earthquakeB. modem buildings were strong enough to be safe from any earthquakeC. less people would have died if they had been prepared for itD. experts always tell liesCCasablanca, Sep. 24A flash flood swept across the coastal plain about 100 miles southwest of here, killing hundreds of Moroccans in a market place yesterday morning.Reports from the area said 218 bodies had been counted, and many of the people were missing.The flood followed heavy rains, which fill ed the coastal plain and dried river beds and caused them to overflow. The flood crest, several feet high, hit the village of Khemis Nagua at midmorning yesterday as farmers from the surrounding area joined town people in an open market place.The roaring water swept the village's living places, the market sheds (棚子), shoppers, cattle and farm tools for miles across the plain..The flood was over almost as soon as it started, the reports said, as the crest swept out to sea. Rescue workers quickly moved into the area from Sari, about 25 miles further south.43. It can be learnt from the text that _____.A. the news report is from Khemis NaguaB. the flood didn't last longC. hundreds of Moroccans were savedD. Casablanca is a city in Africa44. The report mainly tells the public about _____.A. how the flood swept the coastal plainB. why the terrible flood took placeC. the flash flood in the fallD. a rescue attempt45. According to the text, which of the following maps may be correct?(KN=Khemis Nagua C=Casablanca S=Safi)DThirteen vehicles lined up last March to race across the Mojave Desert, seekinga million in prize money. To win, they had to finish the 142-mile race in less than10 hours. Teams and watchers knew there might be no winner at all, because these vehicles were missing a key part—drivers.DARPA, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, organized the race as part of a push to develop robotic vehicles for future battlefields. But the Grand Challenge, as it was called, just proved how difficult it is to get a car to speed across an unfamiliar desert without human guidance. One had its brake lock up in the starting area, Another began by throwing itself onto a wall. Another got tied up by bushes near the road after 1.9 miles.One turned upside down. One took off in entirely the wrong direction and had to be disabled by remote (远距离的) consol. One went a little more than a mile and rushed into a fence; another managed to go for six miles but stuck on a rock. The “winner,”if there was any, reached 7.8 miles before it ran into a long, narrow hole, and the front wheels caught on fire.“You get a lot of respect for natural abilities of the living things,” says Reinhold Behringer, who helped design two of the ear-size vehicles for a company called Sci-Autonics, “Even ants (蚂蚁) can do all these tasks effortlessly. It's very hard for us to put these abilities into our machines.”The robotic vehicles, though with necessary modern equipment such as advanced computers and GPS guidance, had trouble figuring out fast enough the blocks ahead that a two-year-old human recognizes immediately. Sure, that very young child, who has just only learned to walk, may not think to wipe apple juice off her face, but she already knows that when there's a cookie in the kitchen she has to climb up the table, and that when she gets to the cookie it will taste good. She is more advanced, even months old, than any machine humans have designed.46. Watchers doubted if any of the vehicles could finish the race because ______.A. they did not have any human guidanceB. the road was not familiar to the driversC. the distance was too long for the vehiclesD. the prize money was unattractive to the drivers47. DARPA organized the race in order to ______.A. raise money for producing more robotic vehiclesB. push the development of vehicle industryC. train more people to drive in the desertD. improve the vehicles for future wars48. From the passage we know “robotic vehicles” are a kind of machines that ______.A. can do effortlessly whatever tasks living things canB. can take part in a race across 142 miles with a time limitC. can show off their ability to turn themselves upside downD. can move from place to 101ace without being driven by human beings49. In the race, the greatest distance one robotic vehicle covered wasA. about eight milesB. six milesC. almost two milesD. about one mile50. In the last paragraph, the writer implies that there is a long way to goA. for a robotic vehicle to finish a 142-mile race without any difficultiesB. for a little child who has just learned to walk to reach the cookie on thetableC. for a robotic vehicle to deal with a simple problem that a little child cansolveD. for a little child to understand the importance of wiping apple juice offits faceⅣ.短文改错It was later in the evening.
