【題目】Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis was one of the most private women in the world, yet when she went to work as an editor in the last two decades of her life, she revealed(展現(xiàn))herself as she did nowhere else.

After the death of her second husband, Greek shipping magnate(巨頭)Aristotle Onassis, Jacqueline’s close friend and former White House social secretary Letitia Baldrige made a suggestion that she consider a career in publishing. After consideration, Jacqueline accepted it. Perhaps she hoped to find there some idea about how to live her own life. She became not less but more interested in reading. For the last 20 years of her life, Jacqueline worked as a publisher’s editor, first at Viking, then at Doubleday, pursuing(追求)a late-life career longer than her two marriages combined. During her time in publishing, she was responsible for managing and editing more than 100 successfully marketed books. Among the first books were In the Russian Style and Inventive Paris Clothes. She also succeeded in persuading TV hosts Bill Moyer’s and Jose Campbell to transform their popular television conversations into a book, The Power of Myth. The book went on to become an international best-seller. She dealt, too, with Michael Jackson as he prepared his autobiography(自傳), Moonwalk.

Jacqueline may have been hired for name and for her social relations, but she soon proved her worth. Her choices, suggestions and widespread social relations were of benefit both to the publishing firms and to Jacqueline herself. In the books she selected for publication, she built on a lifetime of spending time by herself as a reader and left a record of the growth of her mind. Her books are the autobiography she never wrote. Her role as First Lady, in the end, was overshadowed by her performance as an editor. However, few knew that she had achieved so much.

【1】We can learn from the passage that Jacqueline _________

A. became fond of reading after working as an editor

B. was in charge of publishing 100 books

C. promoted her books through social relations

D. gained a lot from her career as an editor

A. Jacqueline was more successful as an editor than as First Lady

B. Jacqueline’s life as First Lady was more colorful than as an editor

D. Jacqueline’s role as First Lady was more brilliant than as an editor

A. Jacqueline’s two marriages lasted more than 20 years

B. Jacqueline’s opinions and faiths were reflected in the books she edited

C. Jacqueline’s own publishing firm was set up eventually

D. Jacqueline’s achievements were widely known.

【題目】Camping wild is a wonderful way to experience the natural world and, at its best, it makes little environmental influence. But with increasing numbers of people wanting to escape into the wilderness, it is becoming more and more important to camp unobtrusively (不引人注目地) and leave no mark.

Wild camping is not permitted in many places, particularly in crowded lowland Britain. Wherever you are, find out about organizations responsible for managing wild spaces, and contact them to find out their policy on camping and shelter building. For example, it is fine to camp wild in remote parts of Scotland, but in England you must ask the landowner’s permission, except in national parks.

Camping is about having relaxation, sleeping outdoors, experiencing bad weather, and making do without modern conveniences. A busy, fully equipped campsite(野營地) seems to go against this, so seek out smaller, more remote places with easy access to open spaces and perhaps beaches. Better still, find a campsite with no road access:walking in makes a real adventure.

Finding the right spot to camp is the first step to guaranteeing a good night’s sleep. Choose a campsite with privacy(隱秘) and minimum(最小的) influence on others and the environment. Try to use an area where people have obviously camped before rather than creating a new spot.

When camping in woodland, avoid standing dead trees, which may fall on a windy night. Avoid animal runs and caves, and possible homes of biting insects. Make sure you have most protection on the windward(迎風(fēng)的) side. If you make a fire, do so downwind of your shelter. Always consider what influence you might have on the natural world. Avoid damaging plants. A good campsite found, not made—changing it should be unnecessary.

【1 You needn’t ask for permission when camping in________.

A. national parks in England B. most parts of Scotland

C. crowded lowland Britain D. most parts of England

【2】 The author thinks that a good campsite is one________.

A. with easy access B. used previously(以前)

C. with modern conveniences D. far away from beaches

【3 The last paragraph mainly deals with________.

A. protecting animals

B. building a campfire

C. camping in woodland

D. finding a campsite with privacy

【4 The passage is mainly about________.

A. the protection of campsites

B. the importance of wild camping

C. the human influence on campsites

D. the dos and don’ts of wild camping

Last Monday, we were having our Chinese class while the teacher suddenly slip and fell. We were all worried about her. One of the boy carried her on the back, under the help of some others, to the clinic immediately. It turned out that her right leg was breaking and she had to stay in hospital. The following day, we went to visit her with flowers and fruit. Seeing her laying in bed with leg wrapped in bandages, we felt sorry for her and hoped that she would recover soon. Lucky enough, this Thursday she returned back to the class in a wheelchair to give us lessons. We were both deeply moved and proud of having such a responsible teacher.

【題目】Alice’s mother died when Alice was five years old. Alice, who grew up to be my mother, told me that after her mother’s death her family was too poor to even afford to give her a doll.

In December 2012, I had a job at a local bank. One afternoon, we were decorating the tree in the bank lobby(大廳). One of my customers approached me with her beautiful handmade dolls. I decided to get one for my daughter, Katie, who was almost five years old. Then I had an idea. I asked my customer if she could make me a special doll for my mother—one with gray hair and spectacles(眼鏡): a grandmother doll. And she gladly agreed.

A friend had told me that his dad who played Santa Claus would be willing to make a visit on Christmas morning to our home to deliver my Katie her presents, so I made some special arrangements.

Christmas Day arrived and at the planned time; so did Santa Claus. Katie was surprised that Santa had come to see her at her own house. As Santa turned to leave, he looked once more into his bag and found one more gift. As he asked who Alice was, my mother, surprised at her name being called, indicated that she in fact was Alice. Santa handed her the gift, with a message card that read:

For Alice:

I was cleaning out my sleigh(雪橇) before my trip this year and came across this package that was supposed to be delivered on December 25,1953. The present inside has aged, but I felt that you might still wish to have it. Many apologies for the lateness of the gift.

Love,

Santa Claus

My mother’s reaction was one of the most deeply emotional scenes I have ever seen. She couldn’t speak but only held the doll she had waited fifty-nine years to receive as tears of joy ran down her cheeks. That doll, given by “Santa”, made my mother the happiest “child” that Christmas.

【1】改編Why couldn’t the writer’s mother have a doll when young ?_________.

A. Santa Clause forgot to send the doll to her

B. her daughter couldn’t make a doll by herself

C. her parents left the doll in the Santa Clause’s sleigh

D. her family was badly off when she was a child

【2】改編What can be inferred from the passage ?__________.

A. the writer’s father played the Father Christmas

B. the writer’s mother was already in her sixties when she received the doll

C. the writer urged one of her friends to make the doll for her mother

D. the Santa Clause was too careless to deliver the doll on time

【3】The best title for this passage could be __________.

A. A Doll from Santa

B. An unforgettable Christmas

C. A considerate daughter

D. A help from Santa Claus

【題目】One of the main decisions you must make when traveling is deciding where to stay. A good place to stay can often make a holiday. Whether you are looking for a classy hotel or a night under the stars, we can guide you through your different options.

Bed and Breakfast

An English invention, bed and breakfasts offer exactly what they suggest, a bed for the night and breakfast in the morning. People who hate the anonymity of hotels but want more luxury than a hostel often choose to stay at bed and breakfasts. “B&B’s”, usually someone’s private home, are often found in the countryside.

Hostels

For those traveling on a tight budget, hostels are the best accommodation option. Informal places usually with a friendly youthful vibe(氛圍), they offer dormitory beds for rent. Bathrooms are usually down the hall.

Remember to check reviews by previous guests online before you book your hostel.

Couch Surfing

An unusual but interesting option, couch surfing is a growing trend among young internationals. The idea is that you become a member of the online couch-surfing community (www. couchsurfing. com) and then when you travel, look up other members in that country and ask to stay on their couch (沙發(fā)). Most hosts will suggest sightseeing trips and take you out in the evening, making it a great way to see things that aren’t in your guidebook. And remember, it may be free but don’t forget to offer to buy your host a drink or dinner.

Camping

Sleeping under the stars! For budget travelers staying at camping grounds is the cheapest way to travel. The drawback is that you have to carry a tent with you. Camping grounds can be found across Europe, America and Australia. However, if you intend on camping in busy cities, check first where the nearest campsite is. More often than not, they are on the outskirts, which can mean lengthy bus rides into town when you want to eat or see the sights.

【1】Hostels are popular among budget travelers because they provide _____.

A. a friendly atmosphere

B. dormitory beds for sale

C. reviews by previous guests

D. beds and bathrooms as well

【2】Which of the following information is true?

A. The host will charge you for sightseeing

B. You can have a couch to sleep on when camping.

C. If you choose couch surfing, you can explore the nightlife there

D. You don’t have to pay any money living in hostels

【3The disadvantage of camping is that you have to ______.

A. sleep in the open air

B. take some extra articles

C. camp near big cities for safety

D. take a long distance bus to the campsites
