【題目】If you read a newspaper or listen to a newscast recently, you may hear or read a strange word, “staycation”. Staycation is 【1】 new word the American press is using 【2】 (describe) vacation very close to your own home, 【3】 simply staying at home during your vacation. It is a combination (合成) of the words “stay” and “vacation”.

According to many news reports, these staycations are very popular among American families this year. Why? The high price of gasoline for cars and airplanes has made it very costly for Americans to travel 【4】 (compare) to past years. When you combine this with the weak American dollar, it all adds up to people deciding to stay close to home 【5】 their traditional summer vacations. Without doubt, some places are more 【6】 (interest) to “stay at home” than others. And if you live in a very small town, well, you may just want to skip your vacation and save your time up to next year.

Everything is increasingly 【7】 (expense) nowadays, and let’s face it --- a vacation just may not be in your plan this year. You don’t have to give up family fun just because you can’t get away; instead, follow my tips for an 【8】 (economy) staycation filled with old favorites and new adventures! Staycations have 【9】(achieve) high popularity in modern society in which 【10】 (employ) levels and gas prices are high.

【答案】

【1】a

【2】to describe

【3】or

【4】compared

【5】on / for

【6】interesting

【7】expensive

【8】economical

【9】achieved

【10】unemployment

【解析】最近美國媒體流行一個新詞staycation，意為在家附近度假或居家度假。由于失業(yè)率和油價都很高，居家度假（staycation）已成為美國社會的一種流行趨勢。

【1】考察冠詞。word是可數(shù)名詞單數(shù)，此處是泛指，因此填a。

【2】考察非謂語動詞。不定式表目的，句意：美國新聞業(yè)用這個新詞來表述在家附近的度假。

【3】考察連詞。并列連詞or連接兩個并列的句子。這個新詞用來表述在家附近度假或者是在家度假。

【4】考察非謂語動詞。compare與it之間是動賓關(guān)系，因此填動詞的過去分詞形式。句意：高油價和高飛機(jī)票，使美國人的出行比過去更昂貴。

【5】考察介詞。on vacation表示在度假中；for vacation表示為度假，兩者都通順。

【6】考察形容詞。interesting“有趣的”，修飾some places，句意：“一些地方比其他地方更有趣”。

【7】考察形容詞。修飾everything，“如今所有東西都變得越來越貴”。

【8】考察形容詞。economical“經(jīng)濟(jì)節(jié)約的”，修飾名詞staycation。

【9】考察謂語動詞。時態(tài)為現(xiàn)在完成時，填achieve的過去分詞形式。

【10】考察名詞。unemployment與gas prices并列做從句的主語，句意：在失業(yè)率和油價都很高的當(dāng)今社會，居家度假（staycation）已成為一種流行。

【題目】閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項。

Wildlife conservationists in Kenya are trying to save a rare kind of rhinoceros (犀牛). So many northern white rhinos have been hunted and killed that they are almost dying out. There were only five northern white rhinos left. So the workers hoped they could save the rhinos by helping them produce young.

Three northern white rhinos lived at The Ol Pejeta Conservancy (保護(hù)區(qū)) in Kenya. Workers with military weapons guarded the rhinos as they walked, played and ate over a large area of natural grass and trees. The three rhinos were brought to the conservancy in 2009 from a zoo in the Czech Republic. Workers hoped they would have a better chance of survival in a more natural habitat.

But breeding has not been as successful as they had hoped. And the number of northern white rhinos continues to decrease. One of the rhinos at the conservancy died in October. Another died at a zoo in the US city of San Diego, California earlier this month. The San Diego zoo still has one northern white rhino left. The zoo in the Czech Republic also has one.

The last wild northern white rhinos were hunted and killed during conflicts in the Democratic Republic of Congo over the past ten years. Rhinos are killed because many people in Asia want the animals’ horns (角). They believe the horns will help with medical problems. But researchers say there is no medicine in the horn, just a kind of hair.

The last male northern white rhino is 41 years old. He has been unsuccessful in producing young with a female rhino. So conservationists will use artificial methods to make a young female become pregnant. If that is not successful, they will try to fertilize a northern rhino egg and put it into a southern white rhino, who will act as a surrogate(代孕) mother. The last solution would be cross-breeding between the northern and southern white rhino species. If cross-breeding is successful, there is hope that some part of the northern white rhino species may still live on.

【1】Why were the three northern white rhinos brought to the conservancy in Kenya?

A. To protect them from being killed by the armed guards.

B. To ensure that they live better in a natural environment.

C. To keep the conservation a good balance of nature.

D. To attract more visitors to come to this area.

【2】In Paragraph 3, it’s inferred that the number of the rhinos falls down to .

A. 1 B. 3

C. 5 D. 7

【3】People hunted and killed rhinos because .

A. they wanted to get rhinos’ horns for medical use

B. rhinos ate natural grass and trees on their farmland

C. get rid of the threat of rhinos from their life

D. they wanted to do researches on producing young for rhinos

【4】From the last paragraph, we can learn that .

A. other measures will be taken to breed rhinos

B. the conservationists lead a busy life in Congo

C. breeding a baby white rhino is quite an easy job

D. cross-breeding is an effective way to produce young

For people with thousands of pages to read, speed reading seems like a manna（甘露）from heaven．In addition, speed reading helps lighten the load of information you have to absorb since it provides a filter that you can use in screening all bits of information before you approach them．

【1】 Examining how much information you need will help you identify how you should read a certain document to maximize your learning and comprehension．Thorough reading may no longer be necessary in some cases, such as when you only need an outline of a certain document．

Another skill that can ease the burden of a reader is the ability to read words in blocks．Make sure you do not spend too long on a certain block．【2】 This will also make reading less tiresome and boring．

To master this important skill, you have to practice reading more and more words in a certain block at one time．A suggestion shared by some experts regarding this step is to increase the distance between you and the document you are reading．If you can read more and more words in one block, you can cut down on the time it usually takes you to read a certain text and you will be able to read more in a shorter period．

Readers should also practice reducing the number of times they go back to previous sections or blocks．Using a pointer such as the tip of a pencil or pen can also help to make the flow of your reading smoother and faster．【3】 Thus, your speed in reading will largely depend on the speed of the movement of your pointer．

If you still find yourself confused about the topic even after you have finished reading the document, do not re-read right away．Re-reading immediately will just lead to slower speed in reading．【4】 Getting your own reading corner will also help．

【5】 Continue practicing and practicing the techniques aforementioned and soon, you'll achieve the reading speed that will work best for you．

A．In this technique, your eyes will follow the tip of the pointer．

B．This saves time and reduces the effort that you have to make．

C．Taking a short break first is recommended before reading the material again．

D．As a final note, the most important point is consistent and deliberate practice．

E．Your invaluable time can be saved if you can have your reading speed doubled．

F．The first step to increase your reading speed is to identify the specific information you need．

G．Reducing the time you spend on a specific number of words in a block will make no difference．

【題目】閱讀七選五。

We all wish we had just a bit more time. Just think what you could do with an extra hour or two each day: you could finally stick to an exercise routine, or springclean the house, or write your novel, or learn the guitar and so on.

【1】 But I can help you find more hours in your day for the things that really matter.

● Get Out of Bed Earlier

If you normally get up at 7：30 am, try getting up at 7：00 am. That halfhour might not sound like much, but it could be time that you use to exercise, to read that book you've been meaning to finish. 【2】

● Do the Important Tasks First

Once you get to work, get the important ones done first (not the easy ones, or even the urgent ones). You can afford to spend at least an hour working on big, important tasks rather than on all those little urgent ones.

【3】 The urgent tasks will still get done, and you won't miss the important ones.

● Reduce Interruptions

If colleagues have a habit of hanging around your desk to chat, or if the phone is constantly ringing, you might find that it takes you half the day to finish a simple task like writing a letter. Constant interruptions don't just eat up time, they also break your concentration.

When you've got a big task to focus on, let your calls go to voicemail. 【4】_ Wearing headphones makes it less likely that people will try to strike up a conversation.

●【5】

A few minutes chatting, browsing the web, and so on, can easily turn into hours of wasted time over the course of a day.

When you're working, work. If your concentration is slipping, take a proper break, go and get a glass of water, or stretch your legs a bit. And if you're facing a difficult task, try breaking it into small steps or stages so that it's easier to deal with.

A．Stay Focused on Your Work.

B．Take Breaks When Necessary.

C．If you have an office door, close it.

D．If you work like this, you'll usually save time.

E．Would you want me to make your day longer?

F．I can't magically make all your days 25 hours long.

G．Or simply to get your day off to a calm and organized start.
