AThe least-visited countries in the worldIt’s every traveler’s dream — a corner of the planet still undisturbed by tourists. And obviously, such places do exist. The United Nations World Tourism Organization lately reported the four least-visited countries globally.Montserrat (9,000)Once a popular holiday spot, this Lesser Antilles island has never quite recovered from a series of natural disasters. Hurricane Hugo in 1989 hit 90 per cent of the island and in 1995 the Soufriere Hills volcano erupted.These days, its volcano is now actually one of Montserra t’s main attractions, along with its beautiful beaches. Visitors can also go diving in its clear waters.Comoros (24,000)This collection of islands in the Indian Ocean near Madagascar serves as the perfect destination for those who want to get away from everyday city life.Comoros offers beautiful volcanic scenery, fruitful forests, and remote sleepy towns. There are even some of the best undiscovered reefs (礁) just waiting to be explored by divers. Liechtenstein (69,000)The sixth smallest country in the world is also one of themost undiscovered.Lying between Austria and Switzerland, Liechtenstein is an outdoor enthusiast’s playground. It’s the only country in the world to be totally in the Alps and a summer destination for hiking and cycling and snow-covered skiing perfection in winter, for those who can afford it.French Guiana (199,000)French Guiana is the least-visited country in South America, with some of the world’s most diverse plant and animal life.While there is much to attract tourists to the area, not least its miles of jungle, the infrastructure (基础设施) is in need of some attention.21. What do Montserrat and Comoros have in common?A. They have thick forests.B. They are destinations for divers.C. They have recovered from natural disasters.D. They were badly destroyed by volcanic eruptions.22. Which country is the best choice for snow skiing lovers?A. Montserrat.B. Comoros.C. Liechtenstein.D. French Guiana.23. What do we know about French Guiana?A. It has a rich diversity of species.B. Its infrastructure is new and advanced.C. It is the least-visited country in the world.D. Its most popular attraction is large areas of jungle.BGrowing up in my household meant often hearing live music. When I was six years old, I took a traditional Irish step dance class.I fell in love and stuck with it for the next seven years. During that time my father also became more involved in the Irish music world, so he would play, and I would dance. My ethnic heritage (族裔归属) is German and Irish, but because I was surrounded by traditional Irish music and dance in my home, I have grown to be more interested in and connected to my Irish heritage.When I started interning (实习) for the Folklife Festival, I became interested in traditional Basque music and dance and I learned that their experience with dance is very similar to my own.There are so far over 170 Basque organizations in 24 countries, with a greater population of Basques outside of the Basque country than in it. The separation they experience from their homeland is both physical and psychological, so being part of a group with the same interests is an important social support system. These organizations contribute to the continuation of Basque culture, language, and community, and encourage future generations to learn about their ethnic heritage. One of the ways they achieve this is through dance.While learning and performing Basque dances, they connect to their heritage, experience a part of their homeland, preserve Basque culture, and create connections and friendships that last a lifetime.Californian Valerie Arrechea began teaching alongside her father at the age of thirteen and on her own at sixteen. For her, dance is her preferred expression of heritage; it provides a way to be proud of her Basque heritage.The dance performances of North American Basque organizations have developed the interest of non-Basque Americans as well. Janet Iribarne from the Basque Dancers explained that their organization is open to anyone, and afterseeing her group perform, several of her non-Basque friends have developed their own love of Basque traditions as well.24. What is the reason for the author’s preference for Irish dance?A. Her dance teacher.B. Her love of Irish music.C. Her interning experience.D. Her family’s strong root in dance.25. What do we know about Basque people?A. Most of them live abroad.B. Their culture is being lost.C. They live in poor conditions.D. Their population is increasing.26. What is the purpose of Basque organizations?A. To help Basques in need.B. To preserve Basque culture.C. To provide medical treatment for Basques.D. To support overseas Basque children for education.27. What’s non-Basque Americans’ attitude towards Basque danc e?A. They show no interest in it.B. They find it difficult to learn.C. They are enthusiastic about it.D. They are concerned about its future.CYou know that Grandparents Day, taking place the Sunday after Labor Day every year, is a holiday for celebra ting your parents’ parents. But how did the holiday come to be? Did it originate out of a sweet, sincere wish at heart ... or was it all a giant marketing plan to sell more goods?It is, in fact, the former. When Marian McQuade first thought of the idea for the holiday, commercialism (商业主义) was the last thing on her mind. In 1956, McQuade was trying to plan a celebration for the elderly members of her community. She made the sad discovery that many of the senior citizens in the nursing home didn’t often rec eive visits from their families. So she set a day to appreciate grandparents.In any case, McQuade never wanted the holiday to be a money grab. Mother’s Day actually has a similar story; in fact, its founder wanted it discontinued in the 1920s after she saw how commercialized it had become. However, it didn’t s top card companies from getting excited about the future of a new holiday. Hallmark predicted that, by 1983, Grandparents Day would become the sixth highest card-selling holiday. But to their disappointment, it never became a commercial holiday.Many families have much more meaningful ways of celebrating the holiday. Danielle Kirsch celebrates by trying a new activity every year with her grandmother Elsie. “This year, we’ll be painting together,” she t ells /doc/25c32404e0bd960590c69ec3d5bbfd 0a7956d509.html . Molly Arnold’s grandmother is no longer around, yet she still finds a way to honor the holiday. Arnold is the Chief Operations Officer of the Frank and Barbara Broyles Foundation, a charity she created in memory of her grandmother, B arbara Broyles, who passed away from Alzheimer’s disease (老年痴呆症).However, just because the holiday is not about commercialism doesn’t mean you can’t exchange gifts. /doc/25c32404e0bd960590c69ec3d5bbfd 0a7956d509.html actually suggests that grandparents give theirgrandchildren gifts, especially gifts that “honor family traditions”. For example, a meaningful gift from a grandpa to his granddaughter would be actually a birthday gift, but we think it’s a perfect Grandparents Day idea too.28. Why did McQuade found Grandparents Day?A. To grow her own business.B. To realize her parents’ dream.C. To remember her own grandparents.D. To call on people to care for the elderly.29. What does the underlined part “a money grab” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. A way to make big money.B. A celebration of on e’s wealth.C. A chance to give others money.D. A deal between family members.30. Hallmark thought Grandparents Day _____.A. wouldn’t grow popular among young peopleB. would become a commercial holidayC. would turn into a global holidayD. wouldn’t l ast long31. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?A. Meaningful ways of celebrating the holiday.B. People’s attitudes toward the holiday.C. The effort to carry out the holiday.D. The future of the holiday.DScientists may have evidence that our personality plays into our eating habits. People who are open and extroverted (外向的) eat more fruits and vegetables than others, according to new research.The new report, published in the journal Frontiers in Psychology, analyzed the eating habits of more than 1,000 young adults ages 17 to 25. Researchers gave participants a test to measure for the “Big Five” personalities: openness to experience, conscientiousness (尽责性), extroversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism (神经质). Then they asked some participants to keep a food diary for 21 days and others for 13 days, in hopes of encouraging more people to complete the task.Participants who scored higher than average for openness ate about 4.5 more servings of combined fruits and vegetables per week than those less open ones. They also consumed less unhealthy food, such as potato chips or fries. Extroversion also had a positive effect on fruits and vegetable consumption, though not as strongly as openness did, while conscientiousness was a weak predictor of produce consumption.Of course, the study only found an association between the characteristic and eating habits, rather than a direct causation. It’s likely that people who are open to new experiences take those same attitudes toward food, study author Tamlin Conner, a professor at the University of Otago, told The Huffington Post. Their personality may make them more eager to try new fruits and vegetables. But it’s also possible that eating healthy foods can cause anyone to feel more like anextrovert: Another of Conner’s studies found that in the short term, eating more fruits and vegetables resulted in more feelings of motivation, which she says are key characteristics of extroversion.So, you want to eat better? Start eating like an open, extroverted person. “Try to t ake an attitude of openness, especially toward unusual healthy foods,” Conner said. “Go tothe store, and pick something new. Practice behaving like an open person.”32. What does the new research focus on?A. Food and health.B. Personality and health.C. Eating habits and health.D. Eating habits and personality.33. What do we know about the experiment?A. It asked participants to share their food diaries.B. It was carried out among old people.C. It involved five personalities.D. It lasted for a month.34. Which of the following would lead you to eat more fruits and vegetables?A. Openness to experience.B. Extroversion.C. Conscientiousness.D. Agreeableness.35. What does Conner suggest?A. Consulting an extrovert about foods.B. Making friends with open people.C. Going on a balanced diet.D. Trying new healthy foods.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Many rock stars are smart enough to know that it’s cool to go to a top-rated school. Let’s check out these musicians who went to Ivy League colleges.Rivers Cuomo The lead singer and guitarist of the band, Weezer, is an Ivy League rocker, graduating from Harvard with outstanding performance. Rivers Cuomo earned his bachelor’s degree in English after 10 year on-off work at this famous university.John Legend The Grammy Award winning singer and songwriter had scholarship offers from Harvard, Georgetown and Morehouse before attending the University of Pennsylvania, where he majored in English with an emphasis on African American literature. John Legend famously contributed to Kanye West’s album, “The College Dropout”. He always supports education reform and has even taken part in a public performance for dropout prevention for free.“Stay”. The smart rocker made history with “Stay” as the only artist to ever have a number one single before being signed to a recording contract.Greg Graffin The lead singer of the L.A. punk band, Bad Religion, earned his Ph.D. from CornellUniversity. He later worked at the University of California at Los Angeles as a life science professor. Greg Graffin has said, “[Evolution (进化) is] a controversial topic that I research both on an academic (学术的)level and in my music.”21.We can learn from the text that John Legend _____.C. became famous for The College DropoutD. once performed to help school dropouts22.Which of the following musicians taught at a university?A.

A. advise readers to pursue their studiesB. advise readers to learn to enjoy rock musicC. show the importance of entering a top-rated schoolD. show the relationship between education and musicBBranches hit my face, sending blood down my cheeks. Every one of my pores (毛孔) was filled with sweat, but I couldn’t stop. They were close behind. I could not, I would not go back. They only saw my black skin and did not know of the human soulthat lived under by flesh.The sound of the dogs came closer. I hid myself in the shadows beneath the trees above me, thankful for the first time for my black skin. My bare feet bled. The moonlight threatened to give me away. Its brightness seemed to make fun of me as I ran. Even the moon was white. The whole world seemed to be made for people with a white surface. Suddenly I fell down to the forest floor. My legs begged me not to make them run. I ignored them and desperately tried to escape and run away from these evil people, the moon, and my own dark skin.It was a failed attempt. I had hardly ran ten steps when the dogs’ teeth were in my face. Tears burned my face, tears of anger, hate, and fear. “Please!” I begged. “Please let me go!”My breath was short, and my whole body was filled with blood. I stopped for breath. “Actually we’re all the same! That’s what really matters! Please let me go.”“Let you go?” a man laughed. “How could it be? You were born to serve us.” They laughed as they marched along, pulling me by a long rope like a dog. I was exhausted after running for days and I could feel that blood was flowing down my body. At last, I fell down in the grass, covered with blood. My soul moved away from my body and I was free at last.25. According to the text, the author was probably _____.A. a slaveB. a hunterC. a thiefD. aprisoner26. To ask the men to let him go, what reason did the author give?A. He was bleeding.B.

What’s the best title for the text?A. A failed attempt to get freedomB. A dangerous hunting experienceC. A story of an adventure in woodD. A struggle for survival and powerCDear students,Most of us get some exercise walking or riding our bikes to school, but that just isn't enough. Why not get into shape by playing the most popular sport in the world — soccer?Two weeks ago, Ms. Goldstein, the physical education teacher, posted a notice about an exciting new soccer club (for Grades 3-5). To join, all you have to do is sign your name and be at school for the fun of it on Saturday mornings. You'll make new friends and share information about famous teams and players.Ms. Goldstein will teach, so you'll learn basic skills and new techniques to improve your game. That's good news because soccer is a game you can love three seasons a year. The only time you can't play is when there is snow.Just act now! The equipment is cheap. All you have to bring is your feet.The Students' Union29. We can learn from the text that the club _____.A.is just open to students of Grade 3B.was probably started two weeks agoC.is available every day except for SundaysD.was first set up for beginners30. What does the author think of playing soccer?A. It makes people famous easily.B. It does students a lot of good.C. It is a very dangerous game.D. It is as interesting as watching TV.31. The author writes the text mainly to _____.A. talk about how to be an excellent playerB. encourage the students to join a soccer clubC. advise the students to take more exerciseD. introduce Ms. Goldstein to the studentsDDo American children still learn handwriting in school? In the age of the keyboard, some people seem to think handwritinglessons are on the way out. 90% of teachers say they are required to teach handwriting. But studies have yet to answer the question of how well they are teaching it. One study published this year found that about three out of every four teachers say they are not prepared to teach handwriting. Some teachers are teaching handwriting by providing instruction for ten to fifteen minutes a day, and then other teachers who basically teach it for sixty to seventy minutes a day － which really is pretty much for handwriting.Many adults remember learning that way － by copying letters over and over again. Today's thinking is that short periods of practice are better. Many experts also think handwriting should not be taught by itself. Instead, they say it should be used as a way to get students to express ideas. After all, that is why we write.Handwriting involves two skills. One is legibility, which means forming the letters so they can be read. The other is fluency － writing without having to think about it. Fluency continues to develop up until high school.But Steve Graham at Vanderbilt says word processing is rarely done in elementary school, especially in the early years. American children traditionally first learn to print, and then to write in cursive(草写体), which connects theletters. But guess what we learned from a spokeswoman for the College Board, which administers the SAT college admission test. More than 75% of students choose to print their essayon the test rather than write in cursive.32.From Paragraph 1 we can learn ________.A. teaching handwriting is a basic requirement in teachingjobB. most teachers prefer to teach handwritingC. teachers spend little time in teaching handwritingD. a keyboard has taken the place of the handwriting entirely33.The underlined word “legibility”in Paragraph 3 means________.A. being easy to readC. being unexpectedD. being unreadable34.The best title for the passage is ________.A. How to improve handwriting in schoolB. Right or wrong: the death of handwritingC. Handwriting involves two skillsD. Handwriting lessons are on the way out35. The author’s attitude towards whether still to learn handwriting in school is________. A. negative B. objective C. critical D. optimistic七选五：I know that something you get that sense from TV thatyou can be rich and successful without any hard work---yourticket to success is through rapping or basketball or being a reality TV star . 36The truth is, being successful is hard. You won’’t necessarily succeed at everything the first time your try.That’s okay. 38 J. K. Rowling---- who wrote Harry Potter---her first Harry Potter book was rejected 12 times before it was finally published. Michael Jordan was cut from his high school basketball team. He lost hundreds of games and missed thousands of shots during his career. But he once said, “I have failed over and over again in my life. And that’s why I succeed.These people succeeded because they understood the secret of success ---you can’t let your failures define you. 39 You have to let them show you what to do differently the next time. So if you get into trouble, that doesn’t mean you area troublemaker, it means you need to try harder to act right.40A. If you get a bad grade, that doesn’t mean you’re stupid, it just means you need to spend more time studying.B. Some of the most successful people in the world are the ones who have had the most failures.C. You have to let your failures teach you.D. You won’t get along well with every teacher that you have.E. So many of you dream of being successful by hard work.F. Failures can lead you to success.G. Chances are you’re not going to be any of those things.第三部分：完形填空（30分）What’s on your life card?There’s a book where the author, Elizabeth, suggests that everyone have a life card.

It’s hairless and toothless! It’s a monster!” they sent for all the doctors in the country and ordered them to prepare some medicine for her.“When she drinks your medicine, she must grow to the right size and have hair and teeth,” the king said, “If you don’t do this, you’ll have a beating.”The doctors thought it impossible, but they dared not say anything against the king’s order. Just then and old doctor stepped forward. “Oh, we shall certainly obey your order,” he said, but it takes time. We have to dig a mineral from the KunLun Mountains when the snow melts for the second time.The snow melts on those mountains only once in six years.
