19、n take part in the tour for free. B On November 7, Lewis Pugh completed a one-kilometer swim in the freezing waters of King Edward Cove, off South Georgia in Antarctica. He was wearing only his swimming glasses, cap and speedos! Pugh is an advocate for our oceans and seas, working to protect these e
20、cosystems with their large diversity of marine life. When asked why he doesnt wear a wetsuit, Lewis says, “I ask world leaders to do everything they can to protect our oceans. Sometimes the steps they need to take are difficult and unpopular. If Im asking them to be courageous, I must also be. Swimm
21、ing in a wetsuit would not send the right message.” It took Pugh about 19 minutes to complete the one-kilometer swim in Antarctica where the water averaged about 1.6 degrees Celsius. He says that his body can only tolerate about 20 minutes in the freezing waters before it starts shutting down. As he
22、 swims, his body temperature steadily drops, which in turn causes his muscle control to drop, slowing him down. When he is done with his swim, his support team rushes him to a hot shower and it takes almost an hour for his body temperature to return to normal. Doctors and Pugh caution that one must
23、receive months of training to swirl in such cold waters. Even expert swimmers who are unused to freezing water can drown within minutes because of the physical shock experienced by the body. Pugh says he trained for six months before this swim. This is not the first time that Lewis has swum in dange
24、rous conditions. In 2007, he swam one kilometer in the North Pole to draw attention to the melting Arctic ice due to climate change. In 2015, he swam in the Bay of Whales in Antarcticas Ross Sea as part of his successful campaign to help set up a marine reserve there. 24. Why did Lewis Pugh swim wit

What may be the best title for the text? 5 A. Lewis Pugh: swimming for a cause. B. How to survive a swim in co
27、ld waters. C. How to prepare for extreme swimming. D. Lewis Pugh: achieving the impossible. C It is quite reasonable to blame traffic jams, the cost of gas and the great speed of modern life, but manners on the road are being horrible. Everybody knows that the nicest men would be fierce tigers behin
28、d the wheel. It is all right to have a tiger in a cage, but to have one in the drivers seat is another matter altogether. Road politeness is not only good manners, but good sense too. It takes the most cool-headed drivers great patience to give up the desire to beat back when forced to face rude dri
29、ving. On the other hand, a little politeness goes a long way towards reducing the possibility of quarreling and fighting. A friendly nod or a wave of thanks in answer to an act of politeness helps to create an atmosphere of good will and calm so necessary in modern traffic condition. But such behavi
30、or of politeness is by no means enough. Many drivers nowadays dont even seem able to recognize politeness when they see it. However, misplaced politeness can also be dangerous. Typical examples are the driver who waves a child crossing the street at a wrong place into the path of oncoming cars that
31、may be not able to stop in time. The same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they want to. It always amazes me that the highways are not covered with the dead bodies of these grannies. An experienced driver, whose manners are faultless, told me it would help if d
32、rivers learned to correctly join in traffic stream without causing total blockages that give rise to unpleasant feelings. Unfortunately, modern drivers cant even learn to drive. Years ago, experts warned us that the fast increase of the car ownership would demand more give-and-take from all road use
33、rs. It is high time for all of us to take this message to heart. 28. According to the passage, what caused the troubles on the road? A. Road conditions. B. The large number of cars. C. The speed of modern life. D. The behavior of the drivers. 29. In the writers opinion, _. A. drivers should avoid tr
34、affic jams B. strict traffic rules are badly needed C. drivers should show road politeness properly D. unskillful drivers should be punished directly 30.

Good drivers and bad drivers. D The coffee giant Starbucks is once again a popular search on the Internet,
36、and there are people who think that coffee is now replacing tea as the most popular drink in China. But, is that really so? Starbucks opened its biggest caf shop in the world in Shanghai this Wednesday. The coffee giant says this will not only give customers the usual great coffee, but also give the
37、m the full experience of how the magical coffee beans get roasted to become those wonderful drops that make up their favorite drinks. It is like the Willy Wonka factory for coffee lovers. The company is expanding aggressively, and opening a new store every 15 hours on average in China. China has ver
38、y rich and splendid tea culture. What seems like the most enjoyable thing is to drink a cup of tea on a quiet day that is full of “Zen” (禅) spirit. But the fast-pace of life sometimes doesnt allow that. So there are tea shop owners locating their shops in the downtown area in order to provide quick
39、service for customers. Take Heytea for example. Its one of the most highly rated tea shops and it has now opened several new branches in the business areas of big cities like Beijing. Waiting in lines for longer than one hour is common. Chinas consumption of tea is immeasurable. According to a resea
40、rch of USC Institute, in China, the average person consumes 400 cups of tea per year. So it is unlikely that coffee can replace tea as the countrys main drink any time soon. The expanding coffee shops are not there to replace tea, but to provide people with another choice that they can use to enjoy
41、life. 32. What is function of the first paragraph? A. To present the authors argument. B. To summarize the whole passage. C. To introduce the topic of the passage. D. To inform the readers of the latest news. 33. What can we learn about Starbucks from the passage? A. Starbucks supplies the world wit
42、h the best-tasting coffee. B. Starbucks can only be seen in the downtown area of a city. C. Starbucks holds a certain share of Chinese drinking market. D. The shop opened in Shanghai simply works as a drinking place. 34. What can be concluded from the third paragraph? A. Tea culture is rooted in the
43、 hearts of Chinese citizens. B. Tea consumption holds the largest share of world drinking market. C. The enjoyment of tea drinking can only be experienced in a quiet place. D. The fast pace of modern life makes tea drinking no longer pleasant in China. 7 35. What is the authors attitude to coffee an
44、d tea in China? A. Concerned.B. Ambiguous.C. Favorable.D. Negative. 第二节(共第二节(共 5 小题;每小题小题;每小题 2 分,满分分,满分 10 分)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 dont need to be a world-class mountaineer to stand out in a job interview. Heres my advice on how to nail the most common interview question.
45、 Most people are so eager to show off what theyve been involved in. Dont worry, and there will be time for that. The interviewer has reviewed your resume and will ask you plenty about your expertise. “Tell me about yourself” is a question youre certain to be asked at any job interview.36However, sha
46、ring something that shows who you really are beyond a piece of paper is a good idea. It will allow the interviewer to know something about your life outside of work. Everyone has something interesting to share about themselves. Ive heard people talk about everything from being a world-class sushi ch
47、ef to an ice carver.37Such as you participate in competitive sports, youre an accomplished (技艺高超的) pianist and youre writing your first detective novel. If the information showcases a unique aspect of yourself, and especially if you can link it to what you can bring to your next job, then go for it.
48、 Another way to think about the question is: “What gets you up every morning?” The person also wants to know what your sense of passion and purpose is. That volunteer work on a farm cooperative in South America, for example, shows you have a global perspective.38It doesnt matter how big or small the
49、 accomplishment is, as long as it shows youre struggling to improve yourself. When people are motivated by contributing to something bigger than themselves, they get more satisfaction. 39Relax, be yourself and tell the truth. Dont approach the interview like youre trying out for Broadway. Its more than obvious when someone is trying to memorize their lines and “play the part”. Also, if you overstate what youve done or fully invent a story about yourself, youll be exposed.40 A. Take a risk to get personal. B. Showing honesty is one of the mo
