Jacobs Pillow Dance Festival B. the Glimmerglass FestivalC. Cheyenne Frontier Days D. Moab Music FestivalBStrong icy winds and the sight of endless white snow are just two of the challenges people must overcome in the Arctic（北冰洋）. But a 15-year-old British girl didnt let these worry her. On April 15 Alicia Hempleman Adams became the youngest person to walk to the North Pole.She completed the adventure with her PE teacher and two other companions. Each of them carried 40 kilograms of supplies. At times temperatures fell to -45 degrees centigrade during the 320-kilometer trip across Baffin Island in northern Canada. But it took them only ten days, two days less than planned. “It is a really good feeling, more of an achievement,” said Alicia after coming to the end of her Arctic adventure. “The wind was like a beast coming from behind us. The trip seemed endless and there was nothing: no buildings, no people, no animals. Sometimes we had to walk across lakes covered with thin ice, which is really horrible（可怕的）.”The girl also beat her famous father, David Hempleman Adams time for the same walk. David is a top British explorer, who reached both the South and North poles on foot. He also set a series of hot air-balloon records and climbed the highest mountain on every continent. “Its a double-edged sword（双刃剑）,” he said. “Im very proud of what she has achieved but a little miffed that she has beaten my time.” Asked if there would be any future joint adventures, the dad joked: “I think I would be struggling to keep up with her now.”Alicia flew back to Britain last week where she faces the more normal task of returning to school. And she said her achievement would not necessarily mark the start of a career in exploration. “Try other things is my priority（最重要的事，头等大事）,” she said.24. During the adventure, what made Alicia frightened?A. Strong icy winds and endless white snow.B. The absence of buildings and animals.C. Her young age and the heavy supplies.D. The move on the thin ice covering lakes.25. Which of the following can best describe Alicia?A. Young and selfish. B. Adventurous and determined.C. Strong and beautiful. D. Considerate and positive.26. What does the underlined word “miffed” in paragraph 3 probably mean?A. annoyed B. satisfied C. humorous D. happy27. We can infer that after this trip to the North Pole, what is Alicia going to do?A. Challenge more of her fathers records.B. Participate in a joint adventure with her dad.C. Start more explorations by herself.D. Experience some different activities.CNow many young people are travelling around the world on their own, not because they have no one to travel with, but because they prefer to go alone.Kristina Wegscheider from California first travelled alone when she was at college and believed that it was something everyone should do at least once in their life. She said, “It opens your mind to new things and pushes you out of your comfort zone.” Wegscheider has visited 46 countries covering all seven continents.In foreign countries, with no one to help you read a map, look after you if you get ill, or lend you money if your wallet is stolen, it is challenging. This is what drives young people to travel alone. It is seen as character building and a chance to prove that they can make it on their own.Chris decided to leave his sales job in Australia to go travelling. He set up a website, The Aussie Nomad, to document his adventures. He said he wished he had travelled alone earlier. “The people you meet, the places you visit, or the things you do, everything is up to you and it forces you to grow as a person,” said the man. Chris describes travelling alone will make you a more confident person that is ready to deal with anything. He said, “The feeling of having overcome something on my own is a major part of what drives me each day when Im dealing with a difficult task. I walk around with my head up because I know deep down inside that nothing is impossible if you try.”As the saying goes, “Only by going alone in silence can one truly get into the heart of the wilderness.”28Which of the following will Kristina Wegscheider agree with?ATravelling abroad helps people to find new things.BIt is more meaningful to travel in foreign countries.CIt is comfortable to travel around alone.DTravelling alone is necessary for everyone.29Travelling alone is challenging because _.Ayou have to choose things on your ownBit is hard for you to prove yourself to othersCyou can only depend on yourself whatever happensDyou cant find a map30What can we know about Chris?AHe started travelling alone at an early age.BHe once was afraid of travelling.CHe used to work as a salesman.DHis website inspires others a lot.31What is the best title for the passage?ATravel Abroad BTravel Alone CTravel Light DTravel FarDItaly is one of the most exciting and romantic vacation destinations in the entire world. There are so many attractions to see in Italy that you need a good two weeks to see a great amount of beauty and culture. Guided tours provide the biggest advantage of having a native who knows the area, the language and the customs and can keep you out of trouble by avoiding any regrettable mistake.One of the great attractions in Italy is its capital, Rome. In Rome you will find the famous Colosseum. This giant ancient ruin towers above you and you just want to stand there and stare at it. This fourstorey building once held 45,000 people on its marble seats outdoors, where they would sit and watch poor prisoners being fed to animals and gladiators(角斗士)fighting to the death.Another beautiful city in Italy is Venice. The streets are all made of water and if you want to go anywhere, you must travel by boat. Venice specializes in jewelry made from shells and it is also home to thousands of pigeons; in the town square they look like a great white and black carpet, only moving just as they are about to be kicked by your feet.One of Italys treasures that should not be missed is Sorrento. Unlike Venice, home to the finest craftsmen of glass blowing (吹制玻璃) in the world, Sorrento is home to the most skilled workmen of wood inlay(装饰) in the world. With many bars, outside cafes and discos. Sorrento is a lovely place to spend a few days on our journey through Italy.There are also many grand churches, state buildings, monuments and fountains to be seen and a guided tour can ensure that you see them all. Italy is so rich with culture and history that it really is the perfect place for a vacation. It wont disappoint you!32. From the passage, we can learn that the Colosseum used to be_.A.

Would someone be more likely to believe the look on your face or the way you hold your body?Scientists have recently tackled these questions. They found that when a person is looking at your face, she might not believe what she sees if your body language doesnt match the feeling that your face shows. 37 Previously（以前）, they had found that the tone of a persons voice can be more important than the words that are spoken. For example, most people tend not to believe a person who says in a flat voice, “Im so excited.”When it came to emotions conveyed by facial expressions and body language, most scientists suspected that the face was more important. To test if this was true, psychologists showed people a number of pictures of isolated(孤立的)faces and isolated bodies (with faces blurred out(模糊的) that showed anger or fear. 38 An angry face had low eyebrows and tight lips. A scared face had high eyebrow and a slightly open mouth. 39 A scared body had arms forward and shoulders square, as if ready to defend.These results told the researchers that mixed signals can confuse people. Even when people pay attention to the face, body language subtly(微妙地) influences which emotion they read. 40 If you want to be understood, it helps to avoid sending mixed messages.A. Studying such mixed messages is nothing new for scientists.B. So, your body language is important for telling people how you feel.C. Scientists feel new to study the mixed message that confuses people.D. An angry body had arms back and shoulders at an angle, as if ready to fight.E. Body language is a way of communicating with others without using any words.F. When you do this, your face and body work together to show your friends that youre happy to see them.G. They also showed pictures in which angry or scared faces were paired with angry or scared bodies第三部分语言知识运用(共两节，满分45分)第一节完形填空(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)阅读下面的短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。I looked at my photos and began to recall (回忆起) my life.
