I was 15, and my brother, Wayne, was 13 during the second summer we spent there. One morning, my mom and I rode around the cabin grounds and then decided to head for the neighboring campground of Opapiskaw. We knew it wasnt a long drive as we had driven by it in the car every trip to and from the cabin. So we thought it couldnt be a very long bike ride. But the ride was more exhausting than expected wed forgotten the hilly terrain (地形). It was mid-morning when we finally got there. We were hot after the long ride, so we found the beach and walked in the cool water. Then we headed back, trying to beat the midday sun. We hadnt gone very far before my bike got a flat tire (漏气的车胎). The only thing to do was to walk our bikes home. It was about noon when we saw the distant shape of Wayne riding towards us on his bike. He had expected us to return home in one or two hours, so he decided to look for us. Satisfied that we were all right, Wayne headed back to the cabin. We were about three quarters of the way when we saw Wayne riding towards us again, this time carrying a plastic bag. Inside, we found a tire pump (打气筒) and the last ice cream from home. Wayne was disappointed when he found that the ice cream had melted (融化), but Mom and I lovingly thanked him and ate it up. Then, with the tire and our stomachs full, we all rode safely home together. That ice cream may have been the most melted Ive ever eaten, but it was also the best tasting that anyones ever given me. 56.

A cabin at Nutimik Lake D. The longest bike ride home BThe year is 1952. On the small island of Koshima in Japan, some scientists have put out some sweet potatoes on the beach. They are here to study the snow monkeys, and they hope the potatoes will lure some out of hiding. Shortly, a group of furry snow monkeys moves out of the forest and onto the beach. They like the sweet potatoes. The monkeys sort out the sweet potatoes from the sand on the beach. But the sand feels bad between their teeth. So they pick the sand off the potatoes before they eat them.Imo, a young monkey in the group, picks at the sand on her sweet potato, but its slow going. Suddenly she stands up and carries her potato to a small stream that comes down from the mountain. She puts her potato into the water once, twice, three times. The sand is gone. Imo eats her potato without sand and her favorite playmate has been watching.For the next six months, the scientists watch as other monkeys try Imos new idea. First her playmate picks up a potato and puts it in the stream. Then Imos mother tries it too. Soon most of the young monkeys and their mothers are doing it. Some even follow Imos lead as she starts to dip her sweet potato in the sea, even after it is clean. Dip, bite, dip again. The salty water makes the potato taste even better!Finally, Imos new idea spreads through the group until most of the younger monkeys are washing their sweet potatoes. But stubbornly, the older monkeys still brush the sand off slowly with their hands. They dont want to learn any new tricks.Now, 60 years later, Imos group is still washing their potatoes, as each generation teaches the trick to their children. Where do good ideas start? Sometimes it just takes someone brave enough to try something a little different.60. The underlined word “lure” (in Paragraph 1) probably means “_”.A. ask B. help C. find D. attract61.

Time will tell B. Imo tries something newC. Choosing a monkey leader D. Getting through the hard timesCWhen you think of a forest, what do you see? Just trees? Or do you see many other things, such as small insects, worms, restless squirrels, singing birds, and colorful plants?The forest is a whole world of its own, and it is full of many different living things. However, even though they are all different, they have one thing in common: they all need each other in order to survive.Trees feed the animals of the forest. They make food in their leaves by using sunlight to combine water and minerals (矿物质) absorbed (吸收) from the soil and air. Their network of roots sticks into the soil and helps trees absorb water, making it possible for creature to live in it.The earthworms, who live on the forest floor, also help to keep the soil livable and full of nutrients (营养). Their holes in the ground allow air and water, which bear many minerals, to pass freely through the soil.Insects, who eat the leaves of the trees, are the main food of birds. Feeding on the insects, birds help keep forest life in balance by preventing the insects from overrunning the forest.Squirrels also play their part. They feed on the seeds of the trees, yet they, like the birds, use the branches of the trees for their homes.Human beings are like the living things in the forest. We need one another in order to survive. We rely on farmers to grow food, truck drivers to bring it to local stores, and salesmen to sell it. We need people to prepare and cook food, and others to take garbage away. Then, of course, we need doctors and nurses to take care of us when we are sick, mail carriers, telephone operators, and newspaper delivery (递送) people to keep us in touch, as well as scientists, engineers and government leaders to improve how we live.We also need each other in another way. We need people to talk over our problems with us, to exchange ideas, and just to chat about everyday happenings with us. Think how lonely and unhappy you would be if you lived without the companionship of other people.Life is a matter of give and take. We need to help other people as much as we need other people to help us. Besides, think what a good feeling you have when you have done something for someone else!64. What can we know from the passage?A. Trees make it possible for living things to live in the forest.B. Earthworms keep the soil wet by producing water.C. Birds prevent insects from eating too many tree leaves.D. Trees can gain nutrients from other animals in the forest.65. What is the main idea of the passage?A. The forest is very crowded.B. One tree does not make a forest.C. All living things need one another.D. Humans are like trees.66. Where is the passage most likely to have been taken from?A. A science book. B. A guidebook.C. A lesson plan. D. An advertisement.D Autonomous (自动的) cars, self-driving cars, robotic cars, or driverless cars whatever you call them are coming to a showroom near you.It might take a couple of years, but few people at the Geneva Motor Show would disagree that one day science fantasy (幻想) will become reality.However, while Google, BMW, Ford and IBM have been working on the technology (技术), less attention has been given to what it means for passengers. The Swiss company, Rinspeed, has tried to show the future with its concept car (概念车), Xchange.“I wanted to put the passenger at the centre of what is possible, not the autonomous driving technology,” says Rinspeeds founder Frank Rinderknecht. “Travelling in a driverless car will no longer require me to stare at the road, but will let me spend my time in a more meaningful way. You can work, sleep, read, or do whatever activities you might do on a train or a plane.“But driverless cars will not mean the death of driving”, Mr Rinderknecht says. There will be times when a driver will want to drive. “Most driving is boring because you are just driving miles and miles. If I go on the motorway from London to Birmingham, its not very joyful. However, if I go over a mountain road, I want to drive myself and I dont want the machine to do it.”The safety matter will be a big challenge for companies of autonomous cars.Mr Rinderknecht is already thinking beyond this concept car. “There will come a time when we will be travelling in a container, with no airbags or seatbelts because the chances of an accident will be so small.” But the real challenge may not be technological, but emotional. Convincing people to travel in a driverless car will be difficult.“We know that nine out of ten plane crashes are due to pilots error. But if you go to Heathrow Airport and you are required to make a choice between planes with two pilots or with no pilot, I know which one you will trust. It may require a generation before people accept it, but it will happen”, he says.67. When developing its Xchange concept car, Rinspeed has focused on _.A. ensuring the cars safetyB. advancing car-making skillsC. improving passengers riding experienceD. developing autonomous driving technology68. According to Mr Rinderknecht, what will be the real challenge for driverless cars?A. Ensuring their complete safety.B. Persuading people to accept them.C. Making them affordable to the public.D. Setting out relative laws and rules.69. According to Mr Rinderknecht, in the future _.A. driverless cars will be saferB. driverless cars will help save more gasC. driverless cars will be environmentally friendlyD. driving driverless cars will become interesting70. Whats Mr Rinderknechts attitude towards the future of driverless cars?A. Doubtful. B. Worried. C. Uncertain. D. Confident.第四部分：任务型阅读（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）请认真阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意：每个空格只填1个单词。In the sports medicine field, a sports physical exam is a physical examination taken before taking part in a new sport, which helps decide whether its safe for you to take part in a particular sport.
