Meet Ben Saunders: adventurer, athlete, motivational speaker. Ben, at the age of 23, was the youngest man to ski solo (单人滑雪) to the North Pole. He dragged a 180-kilogramme sledge (雪橇) over 1,420 miles through the worst Arctic conditions. This year, as well as planning a return to the Arctic, Ben plans to ski solo from the Antarctic coast to the South Pole and back in the autumn, carrying all his supplies on his sledge.

Ben Saunders was fired after persuading the firm to support his disorganized first adventure. “Everything that could go wrong did go wrong. We were attacked by a bear. We started running out of food. It was just desperate. And we didn't get to the Pole; we didn't get there, so we had no media interest. No one heard about it: no book deal, and no speaking. I was so unhappy.”

People said it was impossible for me to get to the Pole. I said, “No, I can get there,” and I did. Self-belief, I see it as being a bit like a muscle — it's my belief that the more you stretch (伸展) yourself, the stronger it gets. If you never do anything that's uncomfortable or risky then your self-belief gets weaker. So that's one of the lessons I've figured out along the way. The thing that I've stretched and tested is my self-belief.

“My Antarctic adventure is just practicable and that's what is exciting to me. If I knew it was possible, if I knew I could do it without too much bother, I wouldn't be interested.” Why? “Personally I'm attracted by the human performance element to it. Not that long ago, running a marathon was seen as the top point of human attempt, and now I wouldn't be that surprised if my mum said she was going to run one next year.”

People's horizons (见识) are changing. “I'm not particularly gifted, and I'm absolutely average. I've just chosen this one goal to achieve and I've been working hard to realize it. That's it. And that's the thing that attracts me: with enough training and enough determination, enough focus and preparation, how far can we go? And I don't think I've found out yet.”

24. What do we know about Ben Saunders' first adventure?

1. There was no press coverage.
2. It was supported by his company.
3. It was well planned and organized.
4. He actually reached the North Pole.

25. According to Ben Saunders, if you want to stretch your self-belief, you should _____.

1. often test your confidence B. try something adventurous

C. aim to reach the North Pole D. always stretch your muscles

26. Ben Saunders was excited about his Antarctic adventure because _____.

1. he liked running a marathon
2. he wanted to exercise his body
3. he knew it might be achievable
4. he was sure he could do it easily

27. What can we learn from the last paragraph?

1. We have to change our views about adventure.
2. Wemay never know our possibilities and energies.
3. We should have a reason for going on an adventure.
4. We have to be especially talented to have an adventure.

C

We’ve reached a strange–some would say unusual–point. While fighting world hunger continues to be the matter of vital importance according to a recent report from the World Health Organization, more people now die from being overweight, or say, from being extremely fat, than from being underweight. It’s the good life that’s more likely to kill us these days.

Worse still, nearly 18 million children under the age of five around the world are estimated to be overweight. What’s going on?

We really don’t have many excuses for our weight problems. The dangers of the problem have been drilled into us by public–health campaigns since 2001 and the message is getting through-up to a point.

In the 1970s, Finland, for example, had the highest rate of heart disease in the world and being overweight was its main cause. Not any more. A public–health campaign has greatly reduced the number of heart disease deaths by 80 percent over the past three decades.

Maybe that explains why the percentage of people in Finland taking diet pills doubled between 2001 and 2005, and doctors even offer surgery of removing fat inside and change the shape of the body. That has become a sort of fashion. No wonder it ranks as the world’s most body –conscious country.

We know what we should be doing to lose weight—but actually doing it is another matter. By far the most popular excuse is not taking enough exercise. More than half of us admit we lack willpower. Others blame good food. They say: it’s just too inviting and it makes them overeat. Still others lay the blame on the Americans, complaining that pounds have piled on thanks to eating too much American–style fast food.

Some also blame their parents—their genes. But unfortunately, the parents are wronged because they’re normal in shape, or rather slim.

It’s a similar story around the world, although people are relatively unlikely to have tried to lose weight. Parents are eager to see their kids shape up. Do as I say—not as I do.

28. What’s the “strange” point mentioned in the first sentence?

1. The good life is a greater risk than the bad life.
2. Starvation is taking more people’s lives in the world.
3. WHO report shows people’s unawareness of food safety.
4. Overweight issue remains unresolved despite WHO’s efforts.

29. Why does the author think that people have no excuse for being overweight?

1. A lot of effective diet pills are available.
2. Body image has nothing to do with good food.
3. They have been made fully aware of its dangers.
4. There are too many overweight people in the world.

30. The example of Finland is used to illustrate _______.

1. the cause of heart disease B. there are too many overweight people in the world

C. the effectiveness of a campaign D. the fashion of body shaping

31. Which would be the best title for the passage?

1. Actions or Excuses B. Overweight or Underweight

C. WHO in a Dilemma D. No Longer Dying of Hunger

D

Adults are happy to tell their children that crusts (面包皮) will give them curly hair, carrots will help them see in the dark, and spinach will make them strong. Even though adults know it's not totally true, they think it's good for their children's health, a study had found.

In a study about 31 percent of adults said they once told their children the curly hair tale, and 36 percent said they'd been told the same thing by their mother or father. Among the over-50s, almost half said they'd been promised curly hair if they ate their crusts. A quarter of the 2,000 adults questioned in the study told their children carrots would help them see in the dark. This could be true to some extent because of the high levels of vitamin A and beta-carotene in root vegetables.

Another favorite among parents is that milk will make one strong. A third surveyed said their parents told them this, and about 29 percent said they told their children the same thing. But while there is plenty of evidence to suggest milk is good for people's health, there are also a lot of scientific papers saying it isn't.

Thanks to Popeye, spinach is also fed to children, along with the idea that it will make them strong. While there is also some truth in this one, scientists now believe it is not the iron, but the inorganic nitrates (无机硝酸盐) that improve physical power.

One in seven of the surveyed admitted telling their little ones that runner beans will make them run faster, which is nothing more than wordplay and has no basis in science. Almost one in five adults were subjected to the same tale in childhood.

Just over one in 10 parents told their children green food would turn them into a superhero, and a quarter admitted hiding vegetables in meals.

Lyndsay Jones, spokesman for Persil Washing Up Liquid, said,"It's clear that the most persuasive stories about food are passed on from generation to generation. Our research shows that the ideas continue, and we tell our kids the same things our parents told us, even if they're not always entirely true."

Crusts may not make your hair curly, but there's plenty of research that says crusts contain more of the goodness than the rest of a loaf. Hopefully, as a result of our Cook with Kids promise, more parents will be encouraged to spend time with their children in the kitchen and teach them the truth about food.

32. We can know from Paragraph 3 that ________.

1. a third people are forced to drink milk by their parents
2. milk is beneficial to children's physical strength
3. there is doubt whether milk is helpful to people's health
4. about 29 percent people wish their children good health

33. Which of the following does Lyndsay Jones agree?

1. Adults are willing to teach their children as their parents did.
2. Most persuasive stories about food are false.
3. Stories about food shouldn't be passed on from generation to generation.
4. Parents can't make sure if some stories about food are totally true.

34. We can learn from the passage that ________.

1. scientists think the iron in spinach helps children grow strong
2. parents are expected to tell children the truth about food
3. runner beans can really make children run fast
4. crusts are said to contain less nutrition than a loaf
   35. How is the passage mainly developed?
   1. By following time orderB. By making comparisons.

C. By giving examples.D. By analyzing causes.

Dear editor,

I’m writing to you about a common phenomenon to draw it to the public attention.

As is often the case, when people are having meals, waiting for buses or even walking along streets, they are always addicted to their phones, heads hanging down, completely ignoring others.

The reason for the increasing number of phubbings everywhere is that smart phones nowadays can be used for people to do nearly everything, such as playing mobile games, shopping online and keeping in touch with friends through QQ. However, too much exposure to phones is harmful for their health and safety. Moreover, people engaged in phones fail to communicate well with those around them.

Personally, people should wisely use their phones to help with their work and study. Meanwhile they’d better care more about their family and friends rather than phones.

Best wishes to you!

Yours truly,

Li Hu

Text 1

M: Have you seen my blue sport shirt?

W: I think it’s still in the washing machine. You’ll probably have to keep wearing that green T-shirt until the wash is done. Sorry about that.

Text 2

M: Helen is writing a book about German and Danish literature.

W: Wow! She knows Chinese and English. Is she also fluent in German and Danish?

M: German, yes. But she’s just starting to learn Danish for this project.

Text 3

W: I’m afraid I spent so much last month that I won’t be able to pay the rent on time.

M: I warned you last month that you were spending too much again. You really should stay away from the mall.

Text 4

M: Hey, Josie. What’s up? Are you heading to Main Street, too?

W: Yeah. I’m trying to get there as fast as I can. I need to deposit some money and book a birthday cake. But first, I’ve got to mail some letters.

Text 5

W: How do I look in this dress? I want to wear it to the school party tonight.

M: It looks great. But I think you’ll be more attractive in that long black dress. Oh, someone is at the door. I think it’s the pizza we ordered.

Text 6

M: I’m thinking of going to South Africa around New Year’s Day for two weeks. It’s such a beautiful country, Jennifer.

W: Have you been there before?

M: No, but I’ve seen some of Laura’s pictures of her hometown, and it really made me want to visit.

W: Have you booked a flight?

M: Not yet. I’ll probably buy my tickets sometime next month.

W: Wouldn’t they be cheaper now? You can usually get better prices if you buy in advance.

M: I know, but Lisa wants to go with me, and she still has to ask her boss for the time off. I don’t want to book my flight and then have to change it.

W: No doubt!

M: Welcome to New Day Fitness. May I see your membership card?

W: I’m not a member. I was just driving by, and I thought I would stop in and see what the place looks like. Can I have a look around?

M: Absolutely. Do you belong to a gym now?

W: No, I’m new in town. My workplace is not far from here, and I’ve been thinking of joining one.

M: Well, Johanna will show you around, but I will give you this brochure to take with you. You can sign up here today or online at this web address. If you sign up today, we can take your picture for your card right here.

W: Okay. Thanks.

M: You are welcome. Madam, surely you deserve to treat yourself to the golden card…

M: How are your grades this semester, Ella? I don’t want to put pressure on you, of course, but I’d love a report.

W: You mean Ms. Winkler didn’t tell you?

M: No, I’m afraid I haven’t heard from her in months. I was actually starting to get worried. You are passing, I’m sure.

W: Of course, Dad. And Ms. Winkler said that I only need to get a 90% on the final exam to be on the list of the top ten students in the whole school.

M: That’s fantastic news! I guess Mom knows, but why didn’t she tell me? I would love to celebrate this with you.

W: Not so fast. I still have to pass the final, you know. Even though I only need a 90%, I don’t want to leave anything to chance. And I want to learn everything I can.

M: I’m so proud of you. But if you’re too focused on your studies, you might find it hard to make friends at college in a couple of years. Just take it easy once in a while.

W: Derek, did you go to the basketball game last night? It was really exciting, and almost everyone was there. But I didn’t see you.

M: I was dying to, but I missed it. I was practicing for my violin concert and I lost track of time. I guess you went, Eva?

W: I did, but I had to leave early. My mom asked me to get home before 9:00 so she could go to work. She didn’t want to leave Rebecca home alone.

M: Your mom is on night shifts again? That’s not easy.

W: Not easy on my social life, but it’s just for a month. And she’s taking care of a bunch of sick kids, so I can’t really complain.

M: You’ll miss the class Christmas play!

W: Well, I missed the end of the basketball game, too. Right after I left, things really heated up. I heard we got most of our points in the last quarter.

M: Well, at least your schoolwork won’t suffer. If you’re home every evening, you can study and go to bed. I will still have to balance studying and practicing.

W: It will be worth it when you have a career you love, won’t it?

M: Yes. I have always dreamed of being a violinist in the city orchestra.

Please be advised that many streets in and around the Howard University campus will be closed on Saturday, Nov. 19, from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. as part of the Williams Route 66 Marathon. The city of Smithville has advised us that we should expect traffic problems, especially when runners are likely to be passing our school. Campus Security officers will be on hand to help direct traffic, but you should expect difficulty entering and exiting campus. The marathon begins downtown at 8:00 a.m. More than 11,000 people are expected to attend this event, and significant traffic jam is expected. Remember that visitors may also be lining the streets to cheer on the competitors, so it’s best to finish any shopping or banking before 9:00. We know that some of you will need to conduct business as usual. Students and employees who park in the apartment parking lots may be able to enter and exit through gates along the main streets that are normally closed during regular hours. You’d better get a map of the marathon course so that you can handle the traffic problems. You may also call their office at 918-555-1212. If you have concerns, please contact us at Campus Security by phone at 918-555-6361, or leave a comment on our website.

【解析】这是一篇议论文。文章了一个很奇怪的现象：尽管世界饥饿问题很严重，但是，死于过度肥胖的人比饿死的人还要多。好生活的危害似乎更大。很多人都知道肥胖的危害，都意识到应该减肥，但是，人们却不愿意真的采取措施去减肥，并且为自己的肥胖找了很多借口。

28. 推理判断题。由第一段中的“While fighting world hunger continues to be the matter of vital importance… more people now die from being overweight, or say, from being extremely fat, than from being underweight. It’s the good life that’s more likely to kill us these days”可知，尽管解决世界饥饿问题仍然非常重要，但是现如今，死于过度肥胖的人比饿死的人还要多。好生活似乎成了更大的杀手。这是一个非常奇怪的现象，结合选项可知，A选项切题。

31. 标题归纳题。现在，我们面对一个很奇怪的问题：尽管世界饥饿问题还很严重，但是，死于过度肥胖的人比饿死的人还要多。好生活似乎危害更大。很多人都知道肥胖的危害，都意识到应该减肥，但是，人们却不愿真正的采取措施去减肥，并且为自己的肥胖找了很多借口。那么，我们到底该继续为自己找借口还是行动起来，积极地减肥呢？答案不言而喻。故A选项适合做该文标题。

35.文章通过大量举例来证明生活中一些代代相传的关于食物的说法有一些并不科学，成年人应该多和孩子们一起参与到厨房活动中并教给他们关于食物的事实。

第Ⅱ卷

第二节 语法填空 (共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分)

61．答案it. 解析：分析句子结构可知，to choose a suitable Christmas pre sent for her father与空格处内容所指相同，所以此处用it作形式主语。

62．答案to please 解析：该句空格前是形容词，所以用动词不定式作状语。

65. 答案where. 解析：分析句子结构可知，该句式含有定语从句的复合句，counter在从句中作状语，表示地点，所以此处用where引导定语从句。

66. 答案choice. 解析：空格前有形容词性物主代词，所以空格处应填名词，choose的名词形式是choice.

第二节 书面表达 (满分25分)

【参考答案】

Dear editor,

I’m writing to you about a common phenomenon to draw it to the public attention.

As is often the case, when people are having meals, waiting for buses or even walking along streets, they are always addicted to their phones, heads hanging down, completely ignoring others.

The reason for the increasing number of phubbings everywhere is that smart phones nowadays can be used for people to do nearly everything, such as playing mobile games, shopping online and keeping in touch with friends through QQ. However, too much exposure to phones is harmful for their health and safety. Moreover, people engaged in phones fail to communicate well with those around them.

Personally, people should wisely use their phones to help with their work and study. Meanwhile they’d better care more about their family and friends rather than phones.

Best wishes to you!

Yours truly,

Li Hua

【思路导航】 根据内容提示确定写作人称以第三人称为主。因为这里谈的是一个普遍现象（人们沉溺于手机而忽视了与周围人的沟通），基本时态为一般现在时。这个话题涉及目前普遍存在的现象，内容贴近学生的日常生活，易于动笔。题目规定了三项任务：一是描述现象，二是分析原因及弊端，三是陈述如何改变现状。可以按此线索安排写作顺序。

【亮点点击】 本文主题明确，结构完整。重点突出，详略得当，时态准确，语言流畅，言简意赅，要点齐全，发挥适度。关联词语运用得恰到好处，使整个语篇衔接紧密，逻辑清楚。难能可贵的是，短文使用了较多的复杂结构和高级表达方式，使短文增彩不少。

关联词语：however, moreover, personally, meanwhile, etc.

亮点词组和短语：addicted to, ignoring, keep in touch with, exposure, is harmful for, in terms of, engaged in, rather than, etc.

高级句式：定语从句（As is often the case），时间状语从句（when people are having meals, waiting for buses or even walking along streets ），表语从句（that smart phones nowadays can be used for people to do nearly everything such as playing mobile games, shopping online and keeping in touch with friends through QQ）等。
