B. The guide to several adventure trips around the world.

C. The attractions in India.

D. The prices of four adventure trips next year.

【3】Which trip costs the least?

A. Tribal India B. Crossing Patagonia

C. Sahara D. Dalmation Coast Biking

【答案】

【1】B

【2】B

【3】D

【解析】本文主要介紹了四條2017年最令人激動的新冒險之旅的路線指南，分別是Tribal India；Crossing Patagonia；Sahara和Dalmation Coast Biking. 針對每一個路線，指南里給出了詳細(xì)的信息，包括出發(fā)時間，旅行時長，價格等細(xì)節(jié)。

【1】主旨大意題。根據(jù)Guide to four of the most exciting new adventure trips for 2017可知，這篇文章主要介紹了四條受歡迎的旅游路線指南，故選B。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)小標(biāo)題Across Patagonia: From the Andes to the Ocean之后的段落中的Departure Time: March 5可知，出發(fā)時間為三月五號。故選B。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)題。瀏覽全文可知，Tribal India線路的花費為$17,530，Crossing Patagonia 路線的開銷為$8,995，Sahara 路線的花費為$13,998，Dalmation Coast Biking路線的花費為$7,298。對比價格可知Dalmation Coast Biking路線的開銷最小。故選D。

本篇文章脈絡(luò)清晰，層次分明，學(xué)生很容易根據(jù)題干中的關(guān)鍵詞定位到文章中的相應(yīng)段落，所以難度很小。但是第二小題需要注意。根據(jù)題干中的關(guān)鍵詞Across Patagonia可以快讀定位到文章的第二個路線指南：Across Patagonia: From the Andes to the Ocean。也很容易找到小標(biāo)題之后的段落中的Departure Time: March 5。但是如果有些同學(xué)不認(rèn)識departure（離開，啟程）這個單詞的意思，那就可能會選出錯誤答案。有同學(xué)把它理解為“歸來，返回”的意思，根據(jù)總時長10天，返回時間為三月五號，倒推出發(fā)時間為二月二十四號。但好在四個選項中沒有這一選項，也沒有相近的選項，所以學(xué)生就算做到這里，也會意識到錯誤。針對這種題，如果遇到生單詞，選項沒有把握，不妨把自己的猜想都驗證一遍，一般最后都只會有一種合理的答案。

【題目】閱讀理解
There are an extremely large number of ants worldwide. Each individual (個體的) ant hardly weigh anything, but put together they weigh roughly the same as all of mankind. They also live nearly everywhere, except on frozen mountain tops and around the poles. For animals their size, ants have been astonishingly successful, largely due to their wonderful social behavior.
In colonies (群體) that range in size from a few hundred to tens of millions, they organize their lives with a clear division of labor. Even more amazing is how they achieve this level of organization. Where we use sound and sight to communicate, ants depend primarily on pheromone (外激素), chemicals sent out by individuals and smelled or tasted by fellow members of their colony. When an ant finds food, it produces a pheromone that will lead others straight to where the food is. When an individual ant comes under attack or is dying, it sends out an alarm pheromone to warn the colony to prepare for a conflict as a defense unit.
In fact, when it comes to the art of war, ants have no equal. They are completely fearless and will readily take on a creature much larger than themselves, attacking in large groups and overcoming their target. Such is their devotion to the common good of the colony that not only soldier ants but also worker ants will sacrifice their lives to help defeat an enemy.
Behaving in this selfless and devoted manner, these little creatures have survived on Earth, for more than 140 million years, far longer than dinosaurs. Because they think as one, they have a collective (集體的) intelligence greater than you would expect from its individual parts.
（1）We can learn from the passage that ants are ____________.
A.not willing to share food
B.not found around the poles
C.more successful than all other animals
D.too many to achieve any level of organization
（2）Ants can use pheromones for______.
A.escape
B.communication
C.warning enemies
D.arranging labor
（3）What does the underlined expression "take on" in Paragraph 3 mean?
A.Accept.
B.Employ.
C.Play with.
D.Fight against.
（4）Which of the following contributes most to the survival of ants?
A.Their behavior.
B.Their size.
C.Their number.
D.Their weight

【題目】Homestay provides English language students with the opportunity to speak English outside the classroom and the experience of being part of a British home.

What to Expect

The host will provide accommodation and meals. Rooms will be cleaned and bedcovers changed at least once a week. You will be given the house key and the host is there to offer help and advice as well as to take an interest in your physical and mental health.

Meal Plans Available

※ Continental Breakfast

※ Breakfast and Dinner

※ Breakfast, Packed Lunch and Dinner

It’s important to note that few English families still provide a traditional cooked breakfast. Your accommodation includes Continental Breakfast which normally consists of fruit juice, cereal(谷物類食品), bread and tea or coffee. Cheese, fruit and cold meat are not normally part of a Continental Breakfast in England. Dinner usually consists of meat or fish with vegetables followed by dessert, fruit and coffee.

Friends

If you wish to invite a friend over to visit, you must first ask your host’s permission. You have no right to entertain friends in a family home as some families feel it is an invasion of their privacy.

Self-catering Accommodation in Private Homes

Accommodation on a room-only basis includes a shared kitchen and bathroom facilities and often a main living room. This kind of accommodation offers an independent lifestyle and is more suitable for the long-stay student. However, it does not provide the same family atmosphere as an ordinary homestay and may not benefit those who need to practise English at home quite as much.

A. Room cleaning. B. Medical care.

【題目】An abandoned girl named Sophie happens to see the big friendly giant (巨人) (BFG for short), who is running through the streets of London and “blowing dreams” to children late at night. The BFG is scared that the girl will give away his secret, so he takes Sophie back to his native Giant Country. In fact, the BFG is a kind-hearted vegetarian, but other giants in his native country like nothing more than eating humans. Sophie and the BFG try to stop these giants from continuing to eat humans. During this period, they become good friends.

Spielberg’s The BFG tells the tale of an unlikely friendship brought to life in an imaginary world. However, many people say the story is a bit too kid-friendly. Optimism is Spielberg’s typical tone, but the final victorious battle against the bad guys seems a little bit too easy. And when the BFG fights for the first time against the giants who have been hurting him, it seems confusing how he successfully drives away bad guys who are almost twice his size.

Spielberg does leave a little for adult viewers to digest. The BFG doesn’t want to be seen as a monster by humans，but in the end his own kind ends up caught and locked up in isolation. Will he also be destined (注定) to spend the rest of his days in a remote place alone?

Despite being made for a younger audience, the film is still worth a watch. It doesn’t have gun-fights, death, explosions and the stuff that people seem to be interested in nowadays. But the film takes us back to a more innocent time.

【1】Why is Sophie taken to Giant Country?

A. Because she leaks BFG’s secret.

B. Because she happens to see BFG running on the streets.

C. Because she lives a miserable life as an abandoned child.

D. Because she is thought to be likely to tell BFG’s secret to others.

【2】What does the underlined phrase ^drives away” in Paragraph 2 mean?

A. Sends away. B. Breaks away from.

C. Frightens away. D. Keeps away from.

【3】What can be inferred from the text?

A. The BFG likes nothing but eating humans.

B. Not every viewer thinks highly of this film.

C. The other giants end up captured and isolated in the film.

D. This film mainly tells the practical friendship between Sophie and the BFG

【4】What type of writing is the text?

A. A movie review.

B. An advertisement.

C. An announcement.

D. A fiction.

【題目】Every person has their own way of saying things, their own special expressions. Many everyday American expressions are based on colors.

Red is a hot colour. Americans often use it to express heat. They may say they are red hot about something unfair. When they are red hot they are very angry about something. The small hot tasting peppers found in many Mexican foods are called red hots for their colour and their fiery taste. Fast loud music is popular with many people. They may say the music is popular with many people. They may say the music is red hot, especially the kind called Dixicland jazz.

Pink is a lighter kind of red. People sometimes say they’re in the pink when they’re in good health. The expression was first used in America at the beginning of the 20th century. It probably came from many babies who were born with a nice pink colour showing good health.

Blue is a cool colour. The traditional blues music in the United States is the opposite of red hot music. Blues is slow, sad and soulful. Duke Ellington and his orchestra recorded a famous song---Mood Indigo—about the deep blue colour, indigo. In the words of the song: “You aren’t blue till you’ve had that Mood Indigo.” Someone who is blue is very sad.

The colour green is natural for trees and grass. But it is an unnatural colour for humans. A person who has a sick feeling in his stomach may say he feels a little green. A passenger on a boat who is feeling very sick from high waves may look very green.

Sometimes a person may be upset because he does not have something as nice as his friend’s, like a fast new car. That person may say he is green with envy. Some people are green with envy because a friend has more dollars of greenbacks. Dollars are called greenbacks because that is the colour of the back side of the paper money.

The colour black is often used in expressions. People describe a day in which everything goes wrong as a black day. The date of a major tragedy is remembered as a black day. A blacklist is illegal now. But at one time, some businesses refused to employ people who were on a blacklist for belonging to unpopular organizations.

【1】If you had your wallet stolen while doing some shopping, you may call it ________.

A. a white day B. a green day

C. a red day D. a black day

【2】Suppose Mr. Brown says his three children are all in the pink. This means they are ________.

A. fit and healthy B. gentle and modest

C. creative and energetic D. lucky and wealthy

【題目】 For students, college is a series of disconnected experiences: the classroom, the dorm, the athletic field, and the internship（實習(xí)崗位）. Yet the employers tell me what gets college students hired is the ability to translate what they learned in one place (the classroom, for example) to another that is far different from where they originally learned a concept (a project on an internship).

Educators call this “ transfer learning”—the ability to summarize key principles and apply them in many different places, which becomes more important as the skills needed to keep up in any job and occupation continue to change in the future. Our ability to drive almost any car on the market without reading its manual（手冊）is an example of knowledge transfer.

The concept sounds simple enough. But today’s students, faced with the constant pressure to prepare for standardized tests, rarely have the chance to learn through problem-solving or to be involved in projects that improve skills that can be used in various settings.

In response to demands from students, parents and employers, colleges and universities are adding hands-on experiences to the undergraduate curriculum.

Arizona State University, where I’ m a professor of practice, is testing a curriculum across a dozen majors in which students learn nearly half of the subject matter through group projects. Engineering students might build a robot and learn the key principles of mechanics and electronics during the project. The hope is that students will be more involved if theories from the classroom are immediately applied in the outside world instead of years after students graduate.

What’s the problem with the hands-on learning experiences being added by colleges to the undergraduate curriculum? They’re often not accompanied by the guidance that students need to help them transfer what they learn. So students become adept skilled in job interviews at describing what they did during a project, but they have difficulty talking about what they learned and how they can apply that to where they want to work.

【1】Why is the ability to drive mentioned in Paragraph 2?

A. To show that everything is changing.

B. To prove that driving ability is important.

C. To stress the importance of practical skills.

D. To explain the meaning of transfer learning.

【2】What prevents students from getting the ability to transfer knowledge?

A. Various school projects.B. Too much stress from tests.

C. Their lack of theory knowledge.D. Their unwillingness to solve problems.

【3】Which may arouse students’ interest in school learning according to the author?

A. Seeing what they have learned is applied.

B. Teachers changing the way lectures are given.

C. Focusing on the key principles of every subject.

D. Teachers explaining theories in an interesting way.

【4】What does the author think of the hands-on learning experiences in colleges?

A. They are effective.B. They are unnecessary.

C. They should be improved.D. They cost a lot of time.
