It was ridiculously beautiful in Majorca, Spain. The way the sun danced across the water and how the blue horizon was dotted with storybook sailboats were such beautiful scenes.My husband and I always dreamed about taking our kids on a trip around the world. It was one of the things we talked at length about. When we imagined our life with the children, we hoped we would have.Fourteen years later, we had three boys who were growing up faster by the day. It was time to make_good_on those plans. We renewed our passports, and then packed our bags. We showed our kids the world. It was about experiencing the dozens of flights and trains and taxis together.We showed them how wonderful, how diverse, and how fascinating the world is. We wanted them to learn all that we had learned ourselves, through our own travels.But there was something more than that: What we really wanted is to slow down time. We wanted the days to last a bit longer, and the weeks to take their time. The years with our children are going too fast. We wanted to put the brakes on our busy lives for a year, and just be with our kids. We wanted a break from the daily morning routine of making lunches, eating breakfast and going out the door in time for school. We needed family time out.It was the wonderful two months in Europe, full of incredible moments. When we look back at our lives, I know we'll be glad we did it. I know we'll be happy that this is a chapter of the story of our family.4．What did the couple often dream of fourteen years ago?A．Going to Mediterranean.B．Travelling with their children.C．Some storybook sailboats.D．Their children's growing fast.5．What does the underlined part “make good on” probably mean in Paragraph 3?A．Do good to.B．Carry out.C．Make up. D．Put off.6．What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A．The travel. B．The children.C．The transportation. D．The diverse world.7．What was the most important in the writer's eyes?A．Doing everything slowly. B．Living a busy life.C．Sticking to the routine. D．Slowing down the time.CGermans have a word “wanderlust” which translated into English would be the desire to wander. Nowadays the opportunity to travel is endless. Thanks to low­cost airfares, travelling all over the world is very accessible and sometimes it's even cheaper to fly out of the country than to travel within your own.I have always had the feeling of wanderlust. As a young girl it started from me wanting to explore my local woods at the back of my garden. With me growing up, I have a sense of adventure. And I found my local woods being replaced with the Brazilian wetland, Pantanal, where I went last summer in search of jaguars, snakes and crocodiles.The thing with travelling is always different. Even if you go to the same country, to the same town and stay in the exact same rest house, it would be a completely different experience. The people you meet will be different, and they will tell you their own travelling stories: stories of holiday romances, holiday horrors and stories that seem so suspect that you can hardly believe them until something ridiculous happens to you and you find yourself becoming one of those people telling your tales. Or maybe the difference is yourself.When you travel you are forced to be in harmony with a new culture. Whether it's eating a strange food, or staying with a family, where neither of you speak a common language and you have to communicate through hand movements and smiles, the_experience_gives_me_itchy_feet_to_do_it_all_again. And although wanderlust is originally a German word, the English idiom reflects a similar idea. Someone with that needs to leave or travel. This feeling to explore is found not only in language but in us.8．Why is the Brazilian wetland mentioned in Paragraph 2?A．The author's garden lies near it.B．It's similar to the author's hometown.C．It's the desirable place for travel lovers.D．The author intends to share her nature.9．What do we know from Paragraph 3?A．There are many ridiculous travel stories.B．Travel can change the way people view things.C．The author prefers to go to the same country.D．It's interesting to know local culture and people.10．What does the author mean by the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4?A．She feels the urge to take a tour once more.B．The situation leaves her much discomfort.C．Her feet feels too tired when she is abroad.D．The experience makes her lose confidence.11．In which section of a website can we read the text?A．Hobbies of the Germans.B．Life around the world.C．Fashion on the earth.D．City tours and tips.DA tiny Alaska village has experienced a boom in tourism in recent years as polar bears spend more time on land than on Arctic sea ice.More than 2,000 people visited the northern Alaska village of Kaktovik in 2018 to see polar bears in the wild. The far north community lies in an area where increasingly higher temperature has sped up the movement of sea ice, the primary habitat (栖息地) of polar bears. As ice has gradually moved to deep water beyond the continental shelf, more bears are remaining on land to look for food.Polar bears have always been a common sight on sea ice near Kaktovik, but villagers started noticing a change in the mid­1990s. More bears seemed to stay on land, and researchers began taking note of more female bears making homes in the snow on land instead of on the ice to raise their babies. U．S. Fish and Wildlife Service biologists began hearing reports of the increasing number of polar bears in the area in the early 2000s. As more attention was given to the plight (困境) of polar bears about a decade ago, more tourists started heading to Kaktovik.The village had fewer than 50 visitors annually before 2011, said Jennifer Reed, of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. “Today we're talking about hundreds and hundreds of visitors, many from around the world each year，”Reed said. Most tourists visit in the fall, when bears are forced toward land because sea ice is farthest away from the shore. Bruce Inglangasak, a local hunter who sometimes offers wildlife­viewing tours, said he's been offering polar bear tours since2004. Most of his clients (客户) are from China and Europe, as well as from the lower 48 U．S. states. Many tourists stay several days in the village, which has two small hotels. The villagers have benefited a lot from that. In turn, they provide more effective protection for polar bears with financial support from tourism development.12．What causes more polar bears to stay on land in Kaktovik?A．Food shortage.B．Climate change.C．Habitats' movement to shore.D．Their preference for land.13．How did common people feel about more sight of bears on land?A．Excited. B．Puzzled.C．Concerned. D．Shocked.14．What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A．Hotels in Kaktovik are in demand in autumn.B．Kaktovik has about 50 visitors annually.C．Inglangasak makes a living as a tour guide.D．Tourism affects the balance of nature.15．Which saying can describe the text?A．The fittest can survive.B．After a storm comes a calm.C．There is always opportunity in crisis.D．Every coin has two sides.Ⅱ.阅读七选五(共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分)Everybody has some goals in life.

AThe trouble started at 9:30 p.m. last New Year’s Eve, in Newmark. When the fire engines (消防车) arrived at the fire, a very old woman was sitting in a third floor window. The firefighters placed a ladder (梯子) against the wooden house, and 26-year-old Marcus Reddick climbed 35 feet to the third floor.The woman, 60 years old and very fat, was sitting with both feet out of the window. When Marcus reached the top of the ladder, the woman, afraid and nervous, put her two legs around him. Suddenly Marcus fell backwards off the ladder, with the large woman sitting on him. Marcus landed first ― hitting a wall beside the front stairs ― and broke the woman’s fall. She fell no more, but he fell another ten feet down the stairs. When the fire officer reached him, Marcus was unconscious. Within an hour, a doctor told the men that Marcus was nearly brain dead, and would only get worse. Doctors talked of turning off the life-saving machine and asked if the family would like to give away his heart. The answer was “yes”.On January 6, firefighters lifted Marcus’ coffin (棺材) ― covered with an American flag ― onto a yellow fire engine. Hundreds of firefighters from all over the state joined the procession (行列) through Newmark streets. Children watched silently from school windows. The day Marcus died, his heart was given away to a young girl. His family said that it was the second life Marcus had saved. 21. What happened last New Year’s Eve in Newmark? A. An old woman was killed. B. A fire engine was missing. C. A firefighter was murdered.D. A wooden house caught fire.22. After reaching the top of the ladder, Marcus _____.A. was very afraid and nervousB. couldn’t see anything clearlyC. found it difficult to get downD. was knocked off and got hurt23. T he underlined word “unconscious” in Paragraph 2 means “_____”. A. homeless B. senseless C. breathless D. helpless24. We can infer from the end of the text that Marcus’ family might feel _____. A. sad but proud B. shy but excited C. angry and doubtful D. worried and surprisedBTwo hundred years ago, American students went to American schools. Like you, they studied math, spelling and geography. Unlike you, they also studied Greek (希腊语) and Latin (拉丁语). In fact, students spent more than halftheir time studying Greek and Latin.The same was true for most students in Europe. Until the seventh century, all educated Europeans knew Latin. It did not matter if they lived in England, Italy, France or Spain. If they were educated, they knew Latin.During the seventh century, educated Europeans began to study Greek as well as Latin. Greek and Latin had been the leading languages of the ancient Greeks and Romans. All educated Europeans were expected to know these languages.To educated Europeans, the languages of the Greeks and the Romans were important. The ideas of the Greeks and Romans were also important. People knew that many of their own ideas had come from the Greeks and the Romans. To understand their own culture, they must understand its origin (起源). They knew that those beginnings lay in the classical (古典文学的) world.Today we have so many things to study that few people have time to learn Greek and Latin. Few of you will study either language in school. Yet the ideas of the Greeks and the Romans are still important to us. These ideasstill help to shape Western culture today. To understand our own culture, we must understand the culture of the classical world.25. Two hundred years ago, in American schools _____. A. there were many educated Greeks B. Greek and Latin were very popular C. students paid little attention to math D. students knew little about geography26. According to the text, Europeans thought _____. A. the origin of their culture was unknown B. the ideas of the Greeks were unacceptable C. Greek was much more important than Latin D. the Romans had a great influence on their culture 27. Where does the author of the text probably come from? A. Japan.B. Greece.C. America.D. China.28. In the last para graph, the author suggests that _____. A. it’s of great value to learn Greek and Latin B. it’s quite difficult to learn Greek and LatinC. the culture of the classical world is useless nowadaysD. Western culture is quite different from Greek and Roman culturesCIn the autumn of 1924 Thomas Wolfe, fresh from his courses in playwriting at Harvard University, joined us who were teaching English composition at New York University. I had never seen a man so tall as he, and so ugly. I pitied him and went out of my way to help him with his work and make him feel at home.His students soon let me know that he had no need of my protectiveness. They spoke of his ability to explain a poem in such a way as to have them in fits of laughter. Besides, his students made so much of his powers of observation (观察力) that I decided to make a little test and see for myself. My chance came one morning when the students were slowly gathering (集合) for nine o’clock classes.Upon arriving at the university that day, I found Wolfe alone in the large room which served all the English composition teachers as an office. He didnot say anything when I asked him to come with me out into the hall, and he only smiled when we reached a classroom door and I told him to enter alone and look around.He stepped in, remained no more than thirty seconds and then came out. “Tell me what you see,” I said as I took his place in the room, leaving him in the hall with his back to the door. Without any mistakes, he gave the number of seats in the room, pointed out those which were taken by boys and those taken by girls, and pointed out the words written on the blackboard.As I rejoined Wolfe, I was totally speechless. He, however, was very calm as he said, “The worst thing about it is that I’ll remember it all.” 29.Why did Wolfe come to join the author? A. To get some experience. B. To offer him some help. C. To learn to write plays. D. To make more friends.30. Which of the following is TRUE of the test? A. It took place on an autumn evening in 1924. B. It was a test made for Wolfe on his honesty. C. Wolfe did not feel angry when he was tested. D. Wolfe’s students showed no interest in the test.31. What can we learn about the author’s feelings in the text? A. Angry → sad → proud. B. Shy → lonely → happy. C. Worried → nervous → hopeful.D. Sorry → doubtful → surprised. 32. What is mainly described in the text? A. Thomas Wolfe’s life at Harvard University. B. Thomas Wolfe’sability to remember things. C. English composition at New York University. D. The playwriting courses at Harvard University.DMatt Froggatt used to be an insurance agent (保险代理人) in the City of London but now runs a sheep farm. “After 14 years in business, I found that the City had gone from a place which was exciti ng to work in to a grind ― no one was having fun any more. My break came when I got to know the manager of a hotel with one of the top 20 hotel restaurants in the country. Through supplying them, my reputation (名声) spread and now I also supply meat through mail order.” Ron Ablewhite was a manager in advertising but now makes aliving as a painter. “My painting began as a hobby but I realised I was getting far more excitement out of it than out of working. Most people intheir mid-forties need to get back to work immediately ― they need the money. But we had married young and our children didn’t need our support. We went to the north of England, and many of our friends come up and visit us now.” Katherine Goodison has set up her own business in her London flat making hats. “My first job as a lawyer (律师) was fun, but the hours were terrible. Then I left. A lot of people said I’d get bored, but that has never happened. I feel happier now. What I love about this job is that I know what I want and I can make decis ions on my own.” Paul Drinkwater worked in finance (金融) for 16 years before working at the Life Centre in London. “I had been in financial markets from the age of 22, but I found the work boring.感谢您的阅读，祝您生活愉快。
