9、of us who long to travel, it can be difficult to find someone to journey with. Friends and family members are tied down in jobs, struggling to save money, and dont always want to go to the same places. The solution, of course, is to go alone.Melbourne, AustraliaMelbourne is a hot-spot travel destina
10、tion, which has beautiful beaches as well as busy and lively city life. Australia as a whole is considered a safe destination for international travel, and because of that, many solo (单独的）travelers go there. Melbourne is incredibly easy to get around because you can walk or bike anywhere!ThailandTha
11、iland is great for solo travelersperhaps because it is one of the Buddhist mentality, which promotes equality among the sexes. Thailand is known for its friendly hospitality, and as a travel hot-spot, there are plenty of chances to meet other like-minded travelers. Overall known for being very cheap
12、, especially in the north, its a good choice if you want to get away on a budget.BhutanBhutan is one of the most cultural countries in the world. It is also home to the worlds highest unclimbed peak, Gangkhar Puensum. The mountain is sacred (神圣的）and entry is only possible on a pre-booked tour, where
13、 you are accompanied around by your own personal guide. Plastic bags have been banned in Bhutan since1999 and in 2004, it became the first country in the world to outlaw（宣布非法）tobacco.Costa RicaCosta Rica is a great place if youre looking for adventure, with surfing, volcanoes and other recreational
14、activities. Youll never get a chance to feel lonely because theres an abundance of exciting adventures to experience! Costa Rica has never seen political unrest, class struggles or revolutions commonly associated with other Latin American Countries. Whats more, it doesnt have or need an army because
15、 its such a peaceful country.21. Which place is suitable for travelers short of money?A. Melbourne, Australia. B. Thailand. C. Bhutan. D. Costa Rica.22. What can we learn about travelling in Bhutan?A. You can climb the mountain without booking ahead.B. You can prepare some plastic bags for your rubb
16、ish.C. You can experience the rich culture there.D. Smoking is allowed at the foot of the mountain.23. Where does this text probably come from?A. A historical document. B. A science magazine. C.A travel guide. D. A book review.BIf you were asked to imagine a scientist, what image would come to your
17、mind? The idea that most of the kids have is a man wearing a white lab coat with messy hair, big glasses, and cups of colorful liquids giving off clouds of smoke. As for adults, the majority regard scientists as strange people who spend a lot of time working in a lonely lab. However, the reality is
18、quite different.Recently Ive had a chance to take part in a scientific experience far from my lab and into Costa Rica. It has a large amount of wildlife due to its geographical placement between North and South America. It is home to more than 500,000 species, which represents nearly 4% of the speci
19、es worldwide!First we worked to protect wildlife at a leatherback turtle (棱皮龟) protection center. We helped the volunteers to remove rubbish from the beach to create a safe environment for turtle eggs to come out. After that we stayed at Mount Arenal where we studied seismic (地壳的) activity relating
20、to earthquakes. During our stay at Arenal, we rode over the mountainous areas and took a long walk through the rainforest. On the last day we got a professional introduction of rocket (火箭) science and learned about new rocket technology that will be used on the international space station.During my
21、Costa Rica experience, I know that being a scientist doesnt mean working in a lab all day and night. A scientist is the one who loves learning and getting a better understanding of the world from helping protect wildlife, learning about earthquakes or inventing rockets. I think that science is so mu
22、ch more than wearing a lab coat and mixing chemicals. Kids need to be aware of the excitement and adventures science can bring!24. According to Paragraph 1, scientists are often believed _.A. to do experiments in messy labsB. to spend too much time in labsC. to wear clothes in a different wayD. to w
23、ork in dangerous conditions25. In Costa Rica, the author _.A. experienced an earthquake B. took part in rocket experimentsC. picked up rubbish on the beachD. helped the volunteers collect turtle eggs26. What does the author learn about science from his experience?A. Science is full of boring experim

What a Scientist Is LikeB. Where a Scientist WorksC. How I Travelled in Costa Rica D. Why I Chose to Study ScienceCDo y
25、ou think alien beings exist somewhere in the universe? It seems like Mars, our closest neighbor, has inspired the most science fiction as the place where aliens are most likely to come from. Recent Mars probes (探测) have shown us that there is no life on that planetat least not now. But that does not
26、 mean that life does not exist elsewhereafter all, the universe is really big. A lot of scientific research is going on in the search for “extraterrestrial life”. Think about itwhy should the seven billion people on this little planet be the only living beings in the universe? It would, in fact, see
27、m logical that this is not the case. So scientific research in this matter is based around the idea of finding other planets that have environments that can support life environments similar to the Earth. The search is on for the evidence of the existence, or earlier existence of life: from very wis
28、e beings to simple organisms (有机物). So far, there have been a number of theories as to which planetary bodies may have an atmosphere that can support such life and therefore deserve closer attention. As for places within our own Milky Way Galaxy, it has been assumed over the decades that Mars and Ve
29、nus, as well as some of the moons of Jupiter and Saturn, may have been hosts for life. Now, as technologies have improved and we can obtain measurements of the composition of the atmosphere on extra-solar planets, the chances of finding “alien” life forms are increasing. There has been a theory that
30、 some of the planets in the habitable zone of the red dwarf star Gliese 581 may be able to support life. In 2007, scientists discovered exoplanet Gliese 581cand felt that its atmosphere was most suitable for supporting life. But further research revealed that it would not. Now, attention has been tu
31、rned to Gliese 581d, at the outer edge of the stars habitable zone. The main standards for deciding whether a planetary body can be life-supporting are atmospheric conditions which allow the existence of water. Gliese 581 is about 20.4 light years away from the Earth, so even if life does exist ther
32、e, the distance would mean that communication would be unlikely. Having said thiswho says alien life forms (if they exist) need water?28. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 1 mean?A. Life existing outside of the Earth.B. The evidence of the existence of life.C. Other faraway planets in the u
33、niverse.D. Creatures known from science fictions.29. What makes it possible for people to find “alien beings”?A. Modern scientific theories. B. Atmospheric conditions.C Environments similar to the Earth. D. Advanced technologies.30. From the passage, we know that _.A. the atmosphere of Gliese 581c w
34、as most suitable for lifeB. it is not certain whether alien life forms need water or notC. the 7 billion people on the Earth are the only beings in the universeD. the distance of 20.4 light years makes it impossible to find life on Gliese 581d31. Which of the following is the best title for the pass
35、age?A. Do Aliens Exist?B. Is Mars Suitable for Life?C. Are Alien Life Forms Various?D. Can We Communicate with Aliens?DConvincing someone to change their mind is really the process of convincing them to change their tribe (部落). If they abandon their beliefs, they run the risk of losing social ties.
36、You cant expect someone to change their mind if you take away their community too.The way to change peoples minds is to become friends with them, to combine them into your tribe, to bring them into your circle. Now, they can change their beliefs without the risk of being abandoned socially.The Briti
37、sh philosopher Alain de Botton suggests that we simply share meals with those who disagree with us: “Sitting down at a table with a group of strangers has the incomparable and odd benefit of making it a little more difficult to hate them without punishment. Prejudice and conflict between groups of p
38、eople from different nations or races feed off abstraction. However, during a meal, something about handing dishes around, unfolding napkins (餐巾纸) at the same moment, even asking a stranger to pass the salt makes us less likely to hold the belief that the outsiders who wear unusual clothes and speak
39、 in distinctive accents deserve to be sent home or attacked. For all the large-scale political solutions which have been proposed to ease racial or cultural conflict, there are few more effective ways to promote tolerance between suspicious neighbours than to force them to eat supper together.”Perha
40、ps it is not difference, but distance that produces tribalism and unfriendliness. As proximity increases, so does understanding. I am reminded of Abraham Lincolns quote, “I dont like that man. I must get to know him better.” Facts dont change our minds. Friendship does.The Japanese writer Haruki Mur
41、akami once wrote, “Always remember that to argue, and win, is to break down the reality of the person you are arguing against. It is painful to lose your reality, so be kind, even if you are right.”When we are in the moment, we can easily forget that the goal is to connect with the other side, coope
42、rate with them, befriend them, and integrate them into our tribe. We are so caught up in winning that we forget about connecting. Its easy to spend your energy labeling people rather than working with them.The word “kind (family and relatives)” originated from the word “kin (old fashion of family an
43、d relatives).” When you are kind to someone, it means you are treating them like family. This, I think, is a good method for actually changing someones mind. Develop a friendship. Share a meal. Gift a book. Be kind first, be right later.32. People are likely to change their mind when they _.A. chang
44、e their beliefsB. are made friends withC. move to a new communityD. are given somewhere to go33. What does the underlined word “proximity” in paragraph 4 mean?A. Nearness.B. Action. C. Communication. D. Politeness.34. The author quotes from Haruki Murakami to imply that _.A. breaking down ones reali
45、ty is easyB. kindness is more important than rightC. arguing and winning are not importantD. losing ones identity is a painful process35. According to the passage, sharing meals is effective in building connectionsbecause it _.A. pleases people with different beliefs or accentsB. makes people focus
46、on eating rather than conflictsC. brings benefits to the people having dinner togetherD. promotes understanding and tolerance among people第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。You put a great deal of effort into reaching the college of your dreams.

47、d. But whats next? The beginning of college life can be an exciting but awkward time. Follow these tips to adapt to your new life rapidly and make the most of your college experience.

48、e towns. 36 Its also a good way to be environmentally aware. 37 You might not even need all of the recommended books. New textbooks cost an arm and a leg. Try buying used textbooks its a good way to save money and serves the purpose as well. Do never look at college life as endless parties and socia
49、l activities. There is a whole lot more to college if youre serious about graduating. 38 Be aware that your living environment can largely affect your studies.
