【題目】When I first heard about geocaching(地理尋寶),I was skeptical. But the more I thought about it, the more it seemed like an interesting idea. I at least wanted to try it once.

Having familiarized myself with how the game works, I set out in search of my first cache. My trip took me through a series of lively hutong(胡同), past a number of small temples, and right into the courtyard of a quiet youth hotel. I spent several minutes looking around, but couldn't find anything. Just before I was about to give up, I spotted a colorful object in the crack of a wall. Could it be the hidden cache?

At that moment a group of backpackers arrived. According to the game's rules, people who are not in the game must not be allowed to find out about secret caches. So I pretended to make a phone call while waiting for them to leave. When the coast was clear, I grabbed the object. It was the cache! I opened it and pulled out a crumpled(皺的)sheet of paper with several names and celebratory messages written on it. I added my own and replaced the cache in its hiding place, ready for the next geocacher to find.

It may seem like a simple game, but the idea that there are caches hidden all around us is exciting. Once you're hooked, it's easy to set yourself the goal of finding every single cache in a neighborhood or even an entire city. The real treasure, however, is not the cache itself, but the places it takes you to.

Hunting for further caches has since introduced me to places which I didn't even know existed. Some are peaceful parks, while others are forgotten historical sites. A few caches have even been in places I passed regularly without giving them any thought. Now, I feel a much closer connection.

【1】What was the author's initial(最初的) attitude to geocaching?

A. He thought it was interesting.

B. He wanted to try it at once.

C. He showed little interest in it.

D. He found it unsuitable for him.

2When a group of backpackers were approaching, the author____________.

A. pretended to be cleaning the yard

B. made a call to other geocachers

C. didn't allow them to come in

D. tried to keep the cache secret

3In what way does the author benefit from geocaching?

A. He's more familiar with the city.

B. He has found much treasure.

C. He has made more friends.

D. He has mastered hunting.

【答案】

【1】C

【2】D

【3】A

【解析】

試題分析:本文講述了通過地理尋寶作者去了一些未曾去過的地方,加深了對這個城市的了解。

【1】C 細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段第一句話可知C正確。Skeptical不相信的,持懷疑態(tài)度的。

【2】D 細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)根據(jù)第三段的第二句和第三句可知,根據(jù)游戲規(guī)則,沒有參加游戲的人一定不允許知道寶藏的秘密,所以作者假裝打電話是為了隱藏寶貝以防被人發(fā)現(xiàn)。故選D

【3】A推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章最后一段的第一句Hunting for further caches has since introduced me to places which I didn't even know existed.和最后一句 Now, I feel a much closer connection.可知尋寶使作者接觸了一些他不知道的地方,F(xiàn)在,作者感覺到與這些地方有了更近的聯(lián)系。故A正確

Anyone who brought his sleeping bag and cooking equipment along could stay there for a very small quantity of money. The idea was a success. A few years later, the school house was much too small to hold the many young people who wanted to stay there. 3This was the first hostel (招待所).Today, young students and workers of every country can meet in the hostel and get to know each other. When young people arrive at the hostel, they have only to show their cards of membership in a hostel organization in their own country. 4Often, at the evening meal, a group of boys and girls from various parts of the country or world will happen to meet at the same hostel. They may put their food together and prepare a dinner with many kinds of dishes. Sometimes a program will be organized after the meal with dances, songs, or short talks followed by a question period. 5For this reason, a few weeks spent “hostelling” can be just as useful a part of one’s education as classes in school.

A. As a result, a dormitory was set up in an old castle nearby.

B. People can stay in the hostel if they brought enough equipment with them.

C. For years, children in the industrial areas of Europe seldom left their cities to see the beauties of the countryside.

D. This card will permit them to stay in a hostel all over the world for very low prices.

E. In 1970, a young German school master had an idea which changed this situation.

F. One can learn a lot about other places, just by meeting people from those places

G. More and more young people went to the hostel for summer holidays.

Every day we watch TV or read magazines or newspapers to get more information. But what are the advantages or disadvantages of the two media?

【1】 Watching them is pleasant and does not require the effort of reading. If television did not cover the news, some people would know nothing about what is going on in the world.

However, television newscasters cover only the events that they have time for, and they prefer stories that include some impressive pictures. Viewers are quickly bored with reporters who sit and talk into the camera. 2 .

However, 3 . They can include details, and a person with a special interest can take the time to read them. Others can stick to the headlines.

Reading allows more freedom of choice than television. 4 In broadcasting, “one size fits all”. However, a person who reads newspapers and magazines can choose to spend time on business, sports, health, or the school board election, depending on special interests.

5 However, a person who has individual interests and who wants the whole story needs newspapers and magazines as well.

A. TV news is not a person’s only source of news.

B. Television news shows are impressive and interesting.

C. More people get news by watching television than by reading newspapers.

D. The TV audience cannot decide which stories to watch.

【題目】閱讀理解。

According to a new US study, couples who expect their children to help care for them in old age should hope they have daughters because they are likely to be twice as attentive overall.

The research by Angelina Grigoryeva, a sociologist at Princeton University, found that, while women provide as much care for their elderly parents as they can manage, men do as little as they can get away with and often leave it to female family members.

Her analysis of the family networks of 26,000 older Americans concluded that gender(性別) is the most important predictor(預(yù)示物) of whether or not people will actively care for elderly parents.

In a paper being presented at the annual conference of the American Sociological Association in San Francisco, she concludes that simply having a sister makes men statistically likely provide less care.

Using data from the University of Michigan Health and Retirement Study, a study which has been tracking a cross-section of over-50s for the last decade, she calculated that women provide an average of 12.3 hours a month of care for elderly parents while men offer only 5.6 hours.

“Sons reduce their relative care-giving efforts when they have a sister, while daughters increase theirs when they have a brother.”

“This suggests that sons pass on parent care-giving responsibilities to their sisters.”

In the UK, the 2011 census(人口普查) showed that there are now around 6.5 million people with caring responsibilities, a figure which has risen by a tenth in a decade.

But many are doing so at the risk of their own health. The census showed that those who provide 50 hours or more of care a week while trying to hold down a full-time job are three times more likely to be struggling with ill health than their working counterparts(相對應(yīng)的人) who are not carers.

【1】In the text, what’s the most important factor to predict if people will actively care for the elderly?

A. Career. B. Education.

C. Gender. D. Family networks.

【2】The US study finds that _______.

A. sons are twice likely as daughters to care for parents in old age

B. having a sister makes men less likely to do their fair share

C. sons and daughters seem to give equal care to their parents

D. sons are unwilling to leave care-giving responsibilities to female family members

【3】What does the author stress in the last paragraph?

A. People should give up their jobs to care for the elderly.

B. Many care providers work longer hours than others.

C. People shouldn’t pass on caring responsibilities to others.

D. Many care providers have potential health problems.

【4】The author develops the text by _______.

A. analyzing various research and data

B. describing people’s experiences

C. explaining social networks of careers

D. comparing different gender behavior

【題目】閱讀理解。

Proudly reading my words, I glanced around the room, only to find my classmates bearing big smiles on their faces and tears in their eyes. Confused, I glanced toward my stone-faced teacher. Having no choice, I slowly raised the report I had slaved over, hoping to hide myself. “What could be causing everyone to act this way?”

Quickly, I flashed back to the day Miss Lancelot gave me the task. This was the first real talk I received in my new school. It seemed simple: go on the Internet and find information about a man named George Washington. Since my idea of history came from an ancient teacher in my home country, I had never heard of that name before. As I searched the name of this fellow, it became evident that there were two people bearing the same name who looked completely different! One invented hundreds of uses for peanuts, while the other led some sort of army across America. I stared at the screen, wondering which one my teacher meant. I called my grandfather for a golden piece of advice; flip (擲) a coin. Heads—the commander, and tails—the peanuts guy. Ah! Tails, my report would be about the great man who invented peanut butter, George Washington Carver.

Weeks later, standing before this unfriendly mass, I was totally lost. Oh well, I lowered the paper and sat down at my desk, burning to find out what I had done wrong. As a classmate began his report, it all became clear, “My report is on George Washington, the man who started the American Revolution.” The whole world became quite! How could I know that she meant that George Washington?

Obviously, my grade was awful. Heartbroken but fearless, I decided to turn this around. I talked to Miss Lancelot, but she insisted: No re-dos; no new grade. I felt that the punishment was not justified, and I believed I deserved a second chance. Consequently, I threw myself heartily into my work for the rest of the school year. Ten months later, that chance unfolded as I found myself sitting in the headmaster’s office with my grandfather, now having an entirely different conversation. I smiled and flashed back to the embarrassing moment at the beginning of the year as the headmaster informed me of my option to skip the sixth grade. Justice is sweet!

【1】What did the author’s classmates think about his report?

A. Controversial. B. Ridiculous.

C. Boring. D. Puzzling.

2Why was the author confused about the task?

A. He was unfamiliar with American history.

B. He followed the advice and flipped a coin.

C. He forgot his teacher’s instruction.

D. He was new at the school.

3The underlined word “burning” in Para. 3 probably means _______.

A. annoyed B. ashamed

C. ready D. eager

4In the end, the author turned things around _______.

A. by redoing his task

B. through his own efforts

C. with the help of his grandfather

D. under the guidance of his headmaster

A good laugh is like a mild workout. It exercises the muscles, gets the blood flowing, decreases blood pressure and improves sleep patterns and the immune system. 【1】 .

Don’t take life too seriously. We all have obstacles in life and we all make mistakes. 2 In fact, if you can laugh light-heartedly at your own fault, you’ll find that you give yourself that extra happiness and confidence increase that can get you over any obstacle.
