A
Three Japanese tourists taking a holiday in Australia got stuck when their GPS told them they could drive from the mainland to an island, failing to mention the 15 kilometres of water and mud in between.
As they drove their hired car from Moreton Bay to nearby North Stradbroke Island, they started to notice the firm surface they were driving on giving way to the well-known bay mud. However, being confident that their GPS would direct them to a road soon, they decided to drive on, managing to travel around 500 metres before their car was up to its tires in mud. To make matters worse, the tide(潮汐) started to come in and soon forced them to seek help and abandon the vehicle. Just four hours later the car was trapped in two metres of water -- to the great amusement of onlookers on the shore and passengers on passing boats and ferries.
Yuzu Noda, 21, said she was listening to the GPS and “it told us we could drive down there. It kept saying it would navigate(导航) us to a road. But we got stuck…there’s lots of mud.”She and her travel companions Tomonari Saeki, 22, and Keita Osada, 21, instead had to give up their plans for a day trip to the island and headed back to the Gold Coast of a lift from the RACQ tow truck(吊拖车) driver who was called to the trapped car. No such luck for the hired car though--after assessing the situation, no attempt was made to recover it. The students from Tokyo, who are due to return home tomorrow, said the experience would not put them off returning to Australia for another visit. Mr. Tomonari said, “It has rained every day on our six day holiday. Hopefully next time we come back, it will be sunny.”
The car was covered by insurance, but the tourists will have to pay up to about $1500 in extra charges.
1. The three Japanese tourists got stuck because___________.
A. there was no way to the island B. their GPS was broken during their journey
C. their GPS had given the wrong information D. their car was not made in Japan
2. They didn’t abandon their car until _________.
A. some onlookers went to save them B. they got stuck in the mud
C. there came the tide D. they managed to travel around 500 metres
3. How did these Japanese students get back?
A. They had to walk back to their living place.
B. They had to take a lift from the tow truck driver.
C. They had to repair their GPS and drove back.
D. They had to turn to passengers on boats and ferries.
B
People joke that the so-called travel is to leave one's familiar places and visit others' familiar places, which refers to the phenomenon of taking travel as sightseeing in different places. In fact, going travel does not simply mean pursuing fashion or widening vision. It is a kind of social experience and dynamic learning. Furthermore, it is a process of expanding cognition(认知) and understanding society and life, and especially has advantages and charm in increasing knowledge and widening vision.
The ancient people not only mentioned "traveling a thousand miles" and "reading a thousand books" together but also regarded them as the necessary course of perfecting personality and making progress. Going travel can widen the life path and give it new social meanings and spirits of the time, making it socialized, popular, industrialized and fashionable.
Under these circumstances, special efforts should be made to bring culture back to tourism and have culture conveyed in tourism. By doing so, the soul of tourism will be helpful for people to learn and think. In this way, tourists can combine relaxations and joys with learning and thinking, and improve their minds while visiting historic relics.
Once tourism departs from culture, it will be stuck in vulgarity(庸俗) and shallowness, and make it difficult to develop tourism. Some tourist cities and spots are so commercialized that people are put in no mood for the enjoyment of cultural and historic flavors of ancient buildings. Furthermore, in some places, historic and natural relics are decreasing, while more and more artificial scenes and antiques (古董) block the view of real scenes and mislead people with false information and historic relics.
Culture is the core of tourism. Taking back the culture as the soul provides the right way for the development of tourism, and the build-up of spiritual home and social civilization.
4. According to the passage, ____ doesn't belong to the benefits of travel.
A. gaining social experience B. increasing knowledge
C. widening vision D. making profits
5. The ancient people mentioned "traveling a thousand miles" and "reading a thousand books" together meaning that____________ .
A. travel means more than going sightseeing B. travel is as important as reading
C. reading books is helpful for travel D. reading books can take the place of travel
6. In order to improve tourism, tourist spots should ____________.
A. make more artificial scenes to attract tourists B. put more money into tourism
C. bring culture back to tourism D. rebuild the historic relics
7. What's the best title of the passage?
A. Tourism Developed Quickly Nowadays B. Culture Is the Core of Tourism
C. Tourism Is Changing Its Style D. We Can't Make Profits from Tourism
C
My name is Laura. At the age of 35, I decided to work on the plane against the will of my children. After my first plane ride at the age of five, I felt so excited that I had a dream of earning my wings on the plane. I didn’t earn much, but I loved my job.
We were flying from Los Angeles to Washington, D.C, when I answered a call. Then I went to the cabin (客舱), I found a young mother struggling with her baby son.
She told me that she had no more diapers (尿布). With the saddest eyes I have ever seen, she continued. She said she had two babies, but she could no longer support two of them. She was taking her son to a family in New Hampshire.
As she stood in front of me, crying, I could see the hopelessness on her face. I went away and got some diapers from the other mothers, and gave her a sweater of mine. After the woman and her son had changed their clothes, I sat with her, holding her hand, trying to provide some support and comfort. I could feel her pain and her love for her baby son. During that time, I kept thinking of my children who were waiting for me in New York.

In New York, Ma Yun witnessed the Alibaba Group opening on the New York stock exchange with the largest initial public offering (IPO，新股发行) in American history.“Alibaba, the world’s largest Internet commerce company makes China equal to the US in the rapidly increasing global competition for technological innovation (创新) and economic transformation”commented the South China Morning Post.
It has also made Ma China’s richest man with a fortune of around $25 billion (153 billion yuan), reported Reuters.
It’s reported that Ma’s rags-to-riches journey is just as spectacular as his Internet Empire.

Also, Mr Ma is a big believer in perseverance, which was proved in his English study experience.
However, it was his vision and goals that launched his career.
During a short trip to the US as an interpreter in 1995, Ma first experienced the Internet. He believed in the Internet’s business potential when few other Chinese people did. He started Alibaba in his Hangzhou apartment, with 17 friends and $60,000 of funds. At the time, when e-commerce was unheard of in China, “I called myself a blind man riding on the back of blind tigers,” he once said, according to The Guardian. His unusual ideas earned him the nickname “Crazy Jack Ma”.
Indeed, Ma is different. Although he is very thin and about 160cm tall, “Ma is yet animated and forceful,” said The Guardian. “He is funny, creative, and a compelling (引人注目的) speaker.
Ma told Time magazine that he was“old for the Internet”. He started to slow down and looked around. According to The Wall Street Journal, Ma “plans to open a tai chi club with the actor Jet Li, build an entrepreneur(企业家) university in Hangzhou and continue to work on several environmental projects.”
12. What made him into e-commerce industry?
A. His English learning experience. B. His foresight and ambitions.
C. His belief in perseverance. D. His 17 friends and $60,000 funds.
13. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 mean?
A. Ma is a blind man riding on a blind tiger.

C. Rich and different. D. Attractive and believable.
15.What’s the best title of the passage?

第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10 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。
Does this situation seem familiar to you? Your English is progressing well. The grammar is now familiar. The reading comprehension is no problem. You are communicating quite fluently. 16
First of all, remember that you are not alone. Listening comprehension is probably the most difficult task for almost all learners of English as a foreign language. So, the most important thing is to listen as often as possible.
17 The Internet is really a useful tool for English students. You can download The RealPlayer from RealMedia.com, which allows you to use the Internet like a radio station.
Once you have begun to listen on a regular basis, you might still be frustrated by limited understanding. 18
Here is some of the advice I give my students:
Accept the fact that you are not going to understand everything.
Keep cool when you do not understand --- even if you continue not to understand for a long time.
19 Don't concentrate on details until you have understood the main idea.
20 This approach usually results in confusion. Translating leads to a kind of block in one’s brain which sometimes doesn’t allow us to understand anything at all!
By remaining calm, allowing yourself not to understand, and not to translate while listening, your brain is free to concentrate on the most important thing: understanding English in English.
A. Secondly, most people repeat themselves constantly.
B. What should you do?
C. Do not translate everything into your native language.
D. This situation leads to less -- not more -- understanding.
E. The next step is to find listening resources.
F. Listen for the general idea of the conversation.
G. But listening is STILL a problem.

When someone has deeply hurt you, it can be very difficult to let go of your anger. But forgiveness is possible --- and it can be surprisingly 41 (benefit) to your physical and mental health. So far, research 42 (show) that people who forgive can have more energy, better appetite and better sleep. “People who forgive show 43 (little) anger and more hopefulness,”says Dr. Frederic Luskin, who wrote the book Forgive for Good.“So it can help reduce the tiredness out of the immune system and allow people 44 (feel) more energetic.”
So when someone has hurt you, cool down first. Take a couple of breaths and think of something 45 gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, or someone you love. Don’t wait for an 46 (apologize).“Many times the person who hurt you may never think of apologizing,” says Dr. Luskin. “They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don’t see things 47 same way. So if you wait for people to say sorry, you could be waiting a very long time.”
Next keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean 48 (accept) the action of the person who upsets you. Instead, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you. Finally, try to see things 49 the other person’s perspective. You may realize that he or she was acting out of ignorance. To gain perspective, you may want to write a letter to 50 (you) from that person’s point of view.
