They will usually travel for a few days or weeks during school breaks. But Julie and Tim Rivenbark planned a longer vacation with their two children—the Rivenbark family is on a one-year trip around the world. They plan to visit 30 countries in all.Right now, the four travellers are about halfway through their trip. Ms. Rivenbark says they are trying to see as much o f the world as they can. She says “we have been through Europe, southern Africa, now we are kind of working our way through Asia. So we have been to a bunch of big cities, like Dubai, Johannesburg, Rome and Bangkok.”The family has also spent time floating in kayaks(long narrow boats) in Italy, flying in hot air balloons in Myanmar, hiking to the Everest Base Camp in Nepal and going on a journey to see or hunt animals in South Africa.Mr. Rivenbark says the family has also ridden on ostrich birds, elephants, and camels. But, he says, one of the most interesting experiences of the trip has been meeting new people.“People have been extremely friendly, very welcoming and love our kids—interacting with them and their reaction to see our kids enjoying themselves in their country.”Eleven-year old Tyler says he has enjoyed learning about the people they have met. “I learned in Africa that people have very different lifestyles compared to Americans.” His sister, 9-year-old Kara, discovered that she liked Thai food.Ms. Rivenbark says that the extended trip teaches the children a lot more than short visits would have. “I think that the longer we travel, the more impact it has on how they see the world. I can see them changing more than they can see themselves.”It took the family a year to prepare for the trip. They had to sell their house and cars. Ms. Rivenbark quit her job and her husband is using unpaid leave. They carry small bags filled with lightweight clothing and whatever else they need. Ms. Rivenbark says she enjoys being able to carry everything she needs on her back. She says she does not miss the things she has back home. “What has become more important is making these memories as a family and taking those with us instead.” Tyler and Kara each have iPads s o they can communicate with teachers to stay current with their schoolwork. Tyler is also creating a 365-day video blog.The Rivenbarks will continue to head east for the next six months. They plan to visit Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, China and Australia. To follow their adventures, visit their website: .41. What makes the Rivenbarks different from other families is that _____.A. they have their family trips during the children’s holidaysB. they have carefully planned their family trips for holidaysC. they plan to have a tour around the world without their childrenD. they tour around the world with their kids not going to class42.

The passage is meant to _____.A. share with the readers an extraordinary family tripB. introduce some great parents and their jobsC. remind us of the pleasure of getting close to natureD. inform us of the benefits of travelling around the worldBHave you seen a historical film recently? Do you think it was accurate? Some say that there is no such thing as a historical film. In many cases, Hollywood film-makers simply change the facts. Just look at these supposedly “historical” films.1. The PatriotThe film was released in 2000 and was directed by Ronald Emmerish and starred Mel Gibson. It is set near Charleston, South Carolina, during the American Revolutionary War(1775—1783) and follows the story of Benjamin Martin and his fight for American freedom against the British. The film was criticized for inventing and exaggerating British cruelty. The most criticized scene was one showing the burning of a church containing people of the town, of which there is no historical record. Another historical inaccuracy was the description of American-owned slaves being freed to serve with the American forces. In reality, many slaves ran away from their American owners and fought with the British against the Americans.2. Brave HeartThe film(1995) starred Mel Gibson was directed by Toby Reisz. It is based on the life of Scottish national hero William Wallace and his fight against English rule in Scotland during the 13th century. The film includes an affair between William Wallace and Princess Isabella (based on Isabella of France). The film implies she is a mother-to-be when William Wallace will be killed. However, historically, the real Isabella was a child of nine still living in France at this time, never having met Wallace. The film also caused controversy because of its anti-English nature.Apparently, when the film was shown in Glasgow, there was a loud noise made by happy American audience.3. U-571This 2000 film was directed by Jonathan Mostow and starred Mathew MacConaughey, Havey Keitel and Jon Bon Jovi. It took place during the Second World War(1939—1945). In the film, a German submarine(warship underwater) is boarded in 1942 by American soldiers who made themselves up as Germans. They took away the German submarine’s code-language machine, which, in the film, helps the Americans get many secret messages from Germany. However, the film was heavily criticized because it was actually the British who got the machine in May 1941 when they boarded U-110. The movie was also criticized for showing a scene where the U-boat sailors killed American sailors in the water after their ship sunk, which is, in 99% cases, impossible to happen.4. The 300 SpartansThe latest controversy surrounds the film The 300 Spartans. The film (directed by Zack Synder) tells the story of the battle between the Greeks and Persians in 480 BC. It is regarded as a key event in the birth of western democracy(民主) by some historians. In the film, 300 Spartans under the king fight against the enemies, 120,000 Persians led by Emperor Xerxes. The tiny Spartan forces repeatedly gain advantage over the invaders. These actions delays the Persians’ attack and gives the Greek armies enough time to prepare for the defense of Athens. But the Iranians (modern-day Persians) aren’t happy with the film. They say the film describes them as savage, killing-loving, and war-loving.46. This article mainly _____.A. praises four “historical” fi lmsB. shares with us four great moviesC. tells the readers about the inaccuracy of four “historical” filmsD. expresses the writer’s positive attitude towards the “historical” films47. As far as time is concerned, the war in _____ broke out earliest.A. The 300 SpartansB. U-571C. The PatriotD. Brave Heart48. Mel Gibson, a great American actor, starred in _____.A. The Brave Heart and U-571B. The Patriot and Brave HeartC. The 300 Spartans and Brave HeartD. The Patriot and The 300 Spartans49. The passage probably comes from a(n)_____.A. film posterB. fashion magazineC. film reviewD. tour guideCMany science fiction stories tell about explorers arriving in a new world. The explorers then use some kind of high-tech device to test for breathable air or signs of life. But here on Earth, science fiction is becoming reality through a new sampling technology called environmental DNA, or e-DNA for short. Scientists can use it to identify rare or invasive species, study bio-diversity or estimate fish populations with just a little air or water.Ryan Kelly is an ecologist at the School of Marine and Environmental Affairs at the University of Washington in Seattle. He works in a laboratory there with other researchers. They study the gene tic material released by living creatures. “Essentially we can take a sample of soil or air — and in our case — water, and we can sequence（to arrange the order of genes）the DNA out of it and tell you what is there.”Ryan Kelly says he and his research team are studying water samples collected from Puget Sound. He says the cost of gene sequencing has “been reduced greatly in recent years.” Th at makes DNA testing more widely available.Environmental DNA can be used in two ways. One is to identify the creatures that live in a certain place. The other is to confirm the presence or lack of a specific creature.Caren Goldberg heads the new e-DNA lab at Washington State University in Pullman, Washington. She is one of the first biologists in the northwestern United States to take the technology from the testing phase to actually using it.“It is extremely useful for species that are really hard to fi nd. I have spent many hours looking for species that I was pretty sure were there —looking under rocks, looking in water, doing all kinds of surveys.”Caren Goldberg sees e-DNA as a way to get answers more efficiently, safely and with less destruction compared to traditional survey techniques. Until recently, scientists depended on diving deep, netting or using an electric current to temporarily catch fish.“We’re absolutely at this point where proof-of-concept has been established. I don't think everyone necessarily is ready for it yet, but I think the majority of people are.”This newer way to identify what lives in the environment is becoming popular around the world. Animal experts in Vietnam are using the e-DNA to find the last, wild Yangtze giant softshell turtles. One researcher on the Caribbean island of Trinidad is using the sampling technology to find endangered golden tree-frogs. And in Madagascar, it is being used to identify amphibian diseases.Ms. Goldberg has used e-DNA testing to confirm the local extinction, disappearance, of a leopard frog in the American state of Idaho. She has also been asked to document the spread of the New Zealand mud-snail in the state of Washington. The creature has been found in lakes and other waterways across the state.Now, the U.S. Bureau of Land Management wants Caren Goldberg to look for the Columbia spotted frog in two other western states. The rare amphibian is a candidate for the federal government's threatened species list.Scientists working with the technology say they do not expect robots to replace field biologists anytime soon. But the old-fashioned field work could soon be more targeted.A related research goal is to show how long environmental DNA can last and how far it can travel in different environments.50. Paragraph One is intended as _____ of the passage.A. the main ideaB. the introduction of the topicC. a supporting detail of the main ideaD. a contrast of the main idea51. What has made E-DNA magic is that with E-DNA_____.A. you are likely to find information about a species with a little air, water, or soilB. some kind of high-tech device can be used to test for breathable air or signs of lifeC. you are able to get answers more efficiently, safely though with more damageD. the cost of gene sequencing has been reduced greatly in recent years.52. So far, the technique of E-DNA has NOT helped scientists search for ______.A. wild Yangtze giant soft-shell turtlesB. endangered golden tree-frogsC. the local extinction of a leopard frogD. the spread of the New Zealand mud-snail53. Despites its advantage, we are still not sure of something about E-DNA. That is _____ .A. the lasting time and the spreading area of E-DNAB .the lasting time of E-DNA and too many species for E-DNAC. too many candidates for E-DNA and the lasting time of E-DNAD. robots and old-fashioned field work’s replacing E-DNA54. The passage can be sorted as a(n) _____.A. science fictionB. experiment reportC. science reportD. bio-diversity discoveryＤFor the rest of the week, Joe practiced kicking football hard, concentrating on his each kicking. Sometimes Joe hit the ball straight. Sometimes it went wide again. But it seemed that the more he believed he could do it, the easier it was.“I’m not a joke now,” thought Joe. “Not a joke at all!” But a practice wasn’t like a real match and his boots were still not giving him enough power.He should have told his mum and dad about it straight away but, of course, he didn’t. He was always shy to ask for things.Finally, late on the night before the match, he could hold himself back no longer.“Dad, I haven’t got any proper football boots …” he said.“Ah,” said Dad, “I might be able to help you there.”At the words, Joe was excited. New boots! He thou ght. “He’s got me some new boots! He must have got me them for Christmas,” thought Joe, “But now that I’m in an important match, he’s giving them to me early. Wonderful!”Dad went upstairs. Joe excitedly tried to watch the football preview on TV. He wasn’t playing for Manchester United or Liverpool, of course, but he was part of it all now; part of the thrill. His legs twitched with every kick on the screen. His head shook with every centre. And all the time, his mind was racing ahead to his own great game the next morning, in his super new boots.It was ages before his dad came downstairs again. He put a large pair of shiny black boots in front of Joe.As he stared at them, the boy felt as if someone had poured ice into his brain. The boots were awful!“Good, eh?” said his dad.Joe found it hard to speak. He had never seen anything like them before.They weren’t low-cut, soft or…. They had big, hard square toes, great big long studs and they were high at the ankle. They were his dad’s old rugby boots, polish ed up.Joe was filled with disappointment. They had been good boots, quality boots. And they were his size. Joe’s feet were enormous for his age. But he could imagine what everyone at school would say.“ …,” he finally gasped, “ should be exactly my size.”“At least I won’t slip,” he thought, “the studs are like sharks’ teeth!” Then he couldn’t help thinking about those in Ashton’s windows, which he had been longing to get.That night, he went to bed early but he didn’t sleep much because he was so terrifie d of being late. He woke at 1.17, 2.49, 3.37, 3.43, 4.55. The numbers jumped off the big face of his digital clock. Then 10.40!Ahhh!!!He jumped out of bed. He seized the clock. 6.03! 10.40 had been only a dream. At eight, breakfast time, it was raining like mad.“Might get called off, Joe,” suggested his mum.“Never, Mother. …will not be like cricket,” said his dad. “Will take a lot to stop football.”Joe checked everything for the tenth time. He put his boots at the very bottom of his large bag, well out of sight. He had decided to put them on when nearly everyone had left the changing room. Then his classmates wouldn’t make fun of him. Soon, it was time to set out.“Good luck!” said his mum, giving him a kiss.His dad had his coat on, ready for his morn ing deliveries. “Want a lift to school?” he said. “I hope to get down to watch you when I’ve done the trip to Eccles.”“Okay,” said Joe.As Dad’s van carried him down the hill to school, Joe was thinking about the boots. If only … but no, he had to stop that kind of thinking. It doesn’t matter about the boots, he told himself.55. From the first two paragraphs, we can learn that _____.A. Joe had been confident about himself in playing footballB. Joe had been laughed at for his poor football skillsC. Joe had been playing football greatlyD. Joe had not looked forward to joining in the football game56. You can read the disappointment of Joe from the following sentences except _____.A. …, the boy felt as if someone had poured ice into his brain.B. “ …,” he finally gasped, “should be exactly my size.”C. He could imagine what everyone at school would say.D. “At least I won’t slip,” he thought, “the studs are like sharks’ teeth!”57. The night before the football match, how many times did Joe wake up before he jumped out ofbed finally?A. threeB. fourC. fiveD. six58. You can put “They” at the beginning of the sentence _____A. “_____ might get called off, Joe,” suggested his mum.B. “_____,” he finally gasped, “ should be exactly my size.”C. “Never, Mother. _____ will not be like cricket,” said his dad.D. “ _____will take a lot to stop football.”59.

Joe’s football teamC. Joe’s football bootsD. Joe’s dream第二节：下面文章中有5个段落需要添加小标题（第61～65题）。
