tent can be one of the more costly items on your camping equipment shopping list.It is definitely something that you need to consider carefully.By seeing a tent for real you will be able to get a better impression of its size and construction in the traditional shop.However,the downside is that,unless you are experienced,you may miss out some of the details that the manufacturer’s promotional material makes clear.Cheap tents often look similar to the quality models they are mimicking(模仿),but you can be sure that they use inferior(次的) materials and probably have lower design standards.Shop staff are often campers themselves.That means they usually can give lots of advice.If a shop assistant agrees with your own conclusions,that will be great;if they try to change your decisionwith a clear and reasonable argument,then that will be worth considering;if they just try to bamboozle(欺骗),or even bully,you then walk away.The Internet is a wonderful tool,and so long as you know how to make the most of search engines and put in a little effort,you really have the perfect answer waiting to be found.That answer will be different for every camper as each of us has different needs.Don’t be surprised to see your favourite criticized somewhere,but if you see too much criticism,then you had better start thinking again.No prob lem.You won’t have spent anything yet,so think of it positively as a large expense saved.Probably the best approach,if you have the time,is to research tents online and make a short list.Then try to inspect those tents at nearby shops.Then you can make a final decision on where to buy your chosen model based purely on total cost.36.When you go camping,what you should consider most is ________.A.the shopping listB.the costly itemC.the tentD.the equipment37.The underlined word “downside” in Paragraph 2 means “________”.A.disadvantageB.instructionC.argumentD.principle38.It can be concluded from the third paragraph that ________.A.shop assistants usually enjoy going campingB.shop assistants usually have practical adviceC.you should consider your idea repeatedlyD.it is impolite for you to trouble shop assistants39.You can make use of the Internet to ________.A.meet your different needsB.find the answer for every camperC.help you out of troubleD.find your favourite tent40.Which of the following would be the main idea of this passage?A.It is good to buy your tent in the traditional shop.B.You’d better buy a tent with the help of the Internet.C.Better buy sa tent combining seeing tents for real in shops and researching them online.

Unit 1 LifestylesⅠ.阅读理解A阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中,选出最佳选项。
Coffee is one of the most popular drinks throughout the world today. In fact, according to some estimates, over 30% of all adults in the world drink coffee at least once a day on the average. Coffee contains a kind of drug called caffeine. Caffeine is a chemical that stimulates (刺激) the nerves of the body. Drinking coffee tends to make people a little bit more awake―at least for a short time―because of this stimulating effect on the nervous system. A cup of coffee has, on the average, about 3% caffeine in it.One story of the discovery of the coffee plant relates to this effect of caffeine. According to the story, coffee was discovered in East Africa. The story says that coffee was first found by a goat farmer named Kaldi. This was about the year 850. Kaldi was leading his animals through the mountains and the goats were stopping repeatedly to eat the plants near the path. Suddenly, some of the goats started jumping up and down in a very strange way. Kaldi figured out that the goats were acting this way because of the plants they were eating. Kaldi himself tried eating some of the green beans (豆荚) that the goats had been eating. He, too, felt the stimulating effect of the beans. Kaldi wanted to prove what had happened, so he picked some of the beans and took them back to the village, where he told his story.The green bean got the name "Kaffa" and later "coffee" because the beans were discovered in a place called Kaffa in Africa. Then for years, people used to eat a few of the green Kaffa beans when they were in the mountains and needed extra energy to do their work. It was later found that the coffee beans could be picked and then dried until they turned brown, and then they could be stored. If the beans were dried and stored, they could be used at any time.1.What is the purpose of drinking coffee?A. To become more awake.B. To become more healthy.C. To become more happy.D. To become more clever.2.How did the goats react after eating the plants?A. They fell asleep.B. They could not find their way home.C. They started jumping up and down.D. They wanted to eat more.3.Why did the green bean get the name "Kaffa"?A. Because Kaldi loved his home village very much.B. Because Kaldi's goats loved the green bean very much.C. Because the beans were discovered in a place by this name.D. Because the beans could be picked and dried.【参考答案】1.A 2.C 3.C【解析】试题分析:本文为我们介绍了咖啡豆。
Unit 1 LifestylesⅠ.阅读理解(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)AAccording to the OxfordEnglishDictionary,the term “couch potato” first appeared in print in a December 1979 edition of the LosAngelesTimes.Since then,it has become a familiar term for a person who spends a lot of time sitting,and little time exercising.Although there does not seem to be any particular reason why the term“couch potato”is used rather than “couch tomato”,a person may become a “couch potato”because living this way is said to make you round like a potato.The term is also said to have something to do with the connection of potatoes with high calorie(卡路里)food like potato chips.People now would say “couch po tato” whenever they talk about overweight and obesity(肥胖).Indeed, “couch potatoes” are believed to risk heart disease,which can be avoided by regular exercise.It is true that technology and modern life in general makes us sick,fat,lazy and physically/mentally soft.The more time people spend using technology,particularly televisions and computers,the less time they will spend being physically active.“Couch potato”kids are a particular concern.Media reports repeatedly claim that children today are fatter than their elder generations,but less athletically skilled,less interested in physical activity and more addicted(上瘾的)to “junk food” and technology such as television and computers.The message is clear:today's children are fat because they are lazy and eat too much.Moreover,because technology is becoming more sophisticated(复杂的),children are less able to resist(抵抗,忍得住)technology's attraction,and are more likely to spend more time using technology,less time doing physical activity and,therefore,more likely to be fat.【语篇解读】本文主要介绍了“couch potato”的由来、危害及预防。

]5.A.change B.developC.grow D.slow答案 A [考查上下文的语境。
联系下文的实验可知,当人的大脑集中于一个任务的多个方面时,就变得比较活跃,反之,则变得不那么活跃。
所以当大脑所注意的任务不同时,大脑的活动状态是不一样的。

时间过得很慢只是人的主观感受。
]8.A.produced B.carriedC.tried D.performed答案 D [考查语境与动词搭配。
空白处所缺的词作定语,应与前面的experiment构成动宾关系,结合下文进行的实验可知,只有D项符合。

此处指被研究人员的大脑思维比较活跃。
]13.A.much B.manyC.less D.more答案 D [考查上下文的语境。
结合上文的实验可知,研究人员是让实验者的大脑专注于一个任务的多个方面。
由上文中的“brain was more active”中的more可知,答案为D。
]14.A.busy B.likelyC.ready D.sure答案 A [考查语境与固定短语搭配。
be busy doing...意为“忙于……”,为固定搭配;be likely to do...意为“可能做……”;be ready to do...意为“准备做……”;be sure of/about意为“对……确信”。
答案为A。

联系上下文可知,当大脑专注于一个任务的多个方面时,它的精力就会被分散,因而就转移了对时间的注意。
spread意为“使分散,使分布”,符合题意。
]16.A.However B.FurthermoreC.Therefore D.Finally答案 C [考查语境。
此处是上述实验所得出的一个结论。
