They can take their children who dont need to go to school. And most important of all, people all need a rest after working hard for half a year. When Americans take a rest, they often go to their favorite places. Most Americans want to make their vacations very special. So families would like to plan their trips with the kids ahead of time. There are special programs for children in more and more “family friendly” vacation resorts so that children can also have a great time there. Not only Americans like traveling. People from all over the world choose to relax themselves in different places. For example, history lovers search for places of interest and museums where they could see some wonders. Some parents take their children to see many flowers and animals very closely, without disturbing(破壞) the sensitive(敏感的) balance of nature. Some people like to go boating, fishing or skiing. Still others even travel around the world. Nowadays, it is very easy and fast for people to travel by plane, train, car or bus. Though traveling makes people very busy, we can get knowledge and relax ourselves. So try our best to spare some time to travel and enjoy ourselves.21. For many Americans, _ is a good time to travel. A. spring B. summer C. autumn D. winter 22. If you are a history lover, you may want to go to _ to see some wonders.A. libraries B. schools C. museums D. cinemas23. Nowadays, people can travel from one place to another easily because of _. A. convenient traffic B. enough money C. busy life D. enough knowledge B British children usually learn to ride a bike at a young age taught by their parents. I am exception(例外) to that rule. Its not my dads fault-he tried to teach me, and I remember cycling around the nearby housing village. One of my earliest memories is falling over the handlebars of my tricycle(三輪腳踏車(chē)) into a big piece of forests. I really didnt want to repeat that. So I stopped learning. My dad wasnt going to waste his time teaching someone who didnt want to be taught. Time passed and I accepted that I couldnt ride a bike. It never impacted my life in high school because I lived close enough to walk. I never felt like I was miss out until I couldnt go on a bike ride with friends in Byron Bay because I was confident that I could go on a flat surface in a straight line. So when the chance came up to bike on the wall of Xian, I wanted to prove to myself that I could do it and make up my side, I got on the bike. But I didnt know how to start. To push off with one foot hard was my instruction. It sounded simple enough but just was off, going in a straight line on a flat surface and managing to avoid the Chinese tourists who found my excitement funny. When I was at the age of 22, I finally learnt how to ride a bike, and I thought nothing can hold me back.24. According to the passage, how did British children learn to ride their bikes? A. By teaching themselves. B. By depending on their parents. C. By asking their friends for help. D. By relying on their dads.25. Why didnt the author want to repeat one of his bike-learning experiences?A. Because he was mistaken. B. Because he didnt understand his father.C. Because he wasnt taught to ride a bike.D. Because he was hurt while riding a bike.26. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “impacted” in Paragraph 2?A. Surprised. B. Killed C. Affected. D. Controlled.27. Why did the author want to bike on the wall of Xian?A. He wanted to get some time and know how to bike.B. He wanted to prove t himself and manage himself.C. He wanted to travel and learn some knowledge.D. He wanted to play with his friends. C Many high school students consider a college education useless. Therefore, they choose not to go to college. If youre one of them, think again. Here are some reasons why you should go to college and receive a good education there. Schools and universities are the first sources of knowledge. We take that knowledge later on to build our careers after graduation. More knowledge will be gained after you start working, but without an education, that job will not be within easy reach. Knowledge leads to knowledge. While limited within the walls of the educational institutions, we openly explore other cultures of the world. We come to know that ours is not the only culture. Other cultures have valuable insights to share, enriching our own. Education also makes us want to travel and interact with various cultures, broadening our horizons. When theres a downturn (衰退) in the economy, those who attended college will be more likely to find a new job than those who only finished grade school and have a limited skills set. The more education you have, the more chances you will get to improve the quality of your life as you have a better job and earn a higher salary. When youre skillful and knowledgeable, you get to “rub knees” with people of similar backgrounds and tastes. It means a good education leads to excellent networking. Good networking can benefit you a lot in your later life. A good education makes you a more interesting person. You can talk about ideas and events instead of just other people and whats on sale in stores. An educated person doesnt gossip, having a preference to discuss ideas and listen to what other people have to say.28. Paragraph 2 mainly shows that going to college allows you to _.A. have a chance to study abroad B. become a more interesting personC. keep gaining knowledge D. realize the importance of knowledge29. According to Paragraph 3, what does going to college mean?A. Having a greater understanding of different cultures.B. Being limited within the walls of a college.C. Valuing our own culture much more.D. Thinking differently from others.30. By giving the example of a downturn in the economy, what does the author want to show?A. A good education can improve your tastes.B. A good education sometimes means nothing.C. A good education means you will not lose your job.D. A good education allows you to keep a high quality of life.31. What is the text mainly about?A. Sources of knowledge. B. Benefits of attending college.C. The disadvantages of not being educated.D. The reason why some people think college useless.D The Intelligent Transport team at Newcastle University have turned an electric car into a mobile laboratory named “DriveLAB” in order to understand the challenges faced by older drivers to the discover where the key stress points are. Research shows that giving up driving is one of the key reasons for a fall in health and well-being among older people, leading to them becoming more isolated(隔絕) and inactive. Led by Professor Phil Blythe, the Newcastle team are developing in-vehicle technologies for older drivers which they hope could help them to continue driving into later life. These include custom-made navigation(導(dǎo)航) tools, night vision systems and intelligent speed adaptations. Phil Blythe explains: “For many older people, particularly those living alone or in the country, driving is important for preserving their independence, giving them the freedom to get out and about without having to rely on others. “But we all have to accept that as we get older our reactions slow down and this often results in people avoiding any potentially challenging driving conditions and losing confidence in their driving skills. The result is that people stop driving before they really need to.” Dr Amy Guo, the leading researcher on the older driver study, explains: “The DriveLAB is helping us to understand what the key stress points and difficulties are for older drivers and how we might use technology to address these problems.” “For example, most of us would expect older drivers always go slower than everyone else but surprisingly, we found that in 30mph zones they struggled to keep at a constant speed and so were more likely to break the speed limit and be at risk of getting fined. Were looking at the benefits of systems which control their speed as a way of preventing that. “We hope that our work will help with technological solutions(解決方案) to ensure that older drivers stay safer behind the wheel.”32. What is the purpose of the DriveLAB? A. To explore new means of transport. B. To design new types of cars. C. To find out older drivers problems. D. To teach people traffic rules.33. Why is driving important for older people according to Phil Blythe?A. It keeps them independent. B. It helps them save time.C. It builds up their strength. D. It cures their mental illnesses.34. What do researchers hope to do for older drivers?A. Improve their driving skills. B. Develop driver-assist technologies.C. Provide tips on repairing their cars. D. Organize regular physical checkups.35. What is the best title for the text?A. A New Model Electric Car. B. A Solution to Traffic Problems.C. Driving Services for Elders D. Keeping Older Drivers on the Road.第二節(jié) (共5小題；每小題2分，滿(mǎn)分10分) 根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。Many students have trouble staying focused in class. Some of them easily become absent-minded or fall asleep. As a result, they turn to study drugs in order to stay focused in school. 36 .Get some sleep 37 . And it is important to follow it. Having irregular sleep cycles can really affect concentration and physical well-being. Try to go to sleep at the same time every night and get eight to nine hours of sleep. Your body will thank you in the morning.38 Eating in the morning provides fresh energy throughout the day, and it doesnt even have to be a big meal. Something as small as a bowl of oatmeal can make students more energetic and efficient for the rest of the day. And foods like peanut butter, berries, and whole grains have even shown to improve memory.Turn off your phoneAn obvious way to maintain concentration is to avoid distractions that take your attention away.39 . When students need to channel their energy into studies, turning off the phone or even putting it on airplane mode is a good way to centralize their drive and keep distractions at bay.Break a sweatTrying to concentrate in class will feel as challenging as a marathon if youre not in good physical health. On the other hand, actually running a marathon may help boost your ability to concentrate, as exercise is shown to have many benefits for the brain. While you dont necessarily have to run 26 miles before class or work, doing exercise in the morning can get your blood flowing toward your brain.40 .A. Do have breakfastB. Sit in the front if you sleep in classC. That helps to strengthen the mindD. Probably the biggest one is the smart phoneE. Students should have a regular bedtime routineF. But many study drugs have proven harmful to human healthG.
