You might like to try one of these four experiences. Crocodile watching Do you fancy getting up close to some of the most terrifying animals on earth? Crocosaurus Cove, in Darwin (Australia) has the “Cage of Death ”. Its an enclosure th at s lowered into a pool. This gives you a 360 degree view of a crocodile as it s being fed. The cable broke once and the cage sank to the bottom, but they ve fixed it since then. EdgeWalk How about walking along the edge of a building several hundred meters up in the air? If that sounds like fun, head off to the CN Tower in Toronto (Ontario, Canada). Built in 1976, the tower is 553.33 meters tall. The EdgeWalk consists of a 20-30 minute stroll along a 1.5 meter wide platform that runs around the towers restaurant roof. During the walk, youre encouraged to lean forwards as you look over Torontos skyline (轮廓线). Plastic ball rolling Do you fancy rolling down a hill in a plastic ball? Plastic ball rolling is popular all over the world, but the place to give it a go is in Rotorua (New Zealand). Brother David and Andrew Akers came up with the idea in 1994. A typical orb (球) is about 3 meters in 名师资料总结 - - -精品资料欢迎下载 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 名师精心整理 - - - - - - - 第 1 页，共 12 页 - - - - - - - - - 2 diameter, with an inner orb size of about 2 meters. Theres no brake or steering mechanism, but the inner layer of the plastic ball helps absorb the shock. Volcano bungee jumping If youre looking for the adventure of a lifetime, how about going bungee jumping off a helicopter into the crater of a live volcano? As part of the jumping, a helicopter ride takes you to the Villarrica volcano, one of the most active in Chile. Once youre at the drop zone, you leap off the helicopter and fall into the volcano. Finally, you enjoy the ride back to the airport flying at 130kph. Attracted by the above? If so, please contact us.

A. jumped into the Villarrica volcano B. walked along the platform of the CN Tower C. rolled down a hill in a plastic ball in Rotorua D. watched crocodiles in the “Cage of Death ” in Darwin2. Which of the following was first invented in New Zealand? A. EdgeWalk. B. Crocodile watching. C. Plastic ball rolling. D. Volcano bungee jumping. 3. It can be inferred that all the four experiences are _. A. interesting sports B. exciting and extreme C. held on high places D. fit for middle to old people B If you want a little extra security against thieves stealing your bicycle, designer Dennis Siegel has designed a solution. The RFID Bikealarm is attached to the seat on a bicycle and gives off an alarm when it senses movement. “The RFID Bikealarm is meant to be a useful add-on to mechanical bicycle locks because it greatly extends the range of protection with only a few components,” Siegel explains on his website. “It is low-cost, durable and easy to use.” The Bikealarm was designed as part of Siegels Bachelor s degree thesis at the 名师资料总结 - - -精品资料欢迎下载 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 名师精心整理 - - - - - - - 第 2 页，共 12 页 - - - - - - - - - 3 University of the Arts Bremen in Germany. The device will scare off any would-be thieves the moment they begin to steal t he bicycle to which it is attached. It is able to continuously sense the environment to distinguish between specific events, for instance a passing tram / car and a serious theft. Siegel created a working model of an alarm that would sound when it sensed movement, but wasn t initially sure how it would be best attached to a bicycle. “I decided to mount it to the rails of the seat because it allows for comfortable interaction and the position is less obvious as it looks like a small repair kit,” he says. Siegel chose to use RFID technology rather than Bluetooth to keep the costs down. Siegel explains that the most difficult aspect of creating the alarm was to get the electronic circuit down to a small enough size. The device runs off a kind of battery that can be charged by USB within 2 hours and lasts for a few days with normal use. As the Bikealarm is onl y at development stage, Siegel hasnt signed any agreements to put it on the market.4. When it senses movement, the RFID Bikealarm will _. A. make a warning sound B. fasten the bicycle tightly C. shake the bicycle quickly D. call the police automatically 5. Which of the following shows the right position of the RFID Bikealarm on a bicycle? 6. What do we know about the RFID Bikealarm? A. It cant tell between specific events. B. It is very difficult to use. 名师资料总结 - - -精品资料欢迎下载 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 名师精心整理 - - - - - - - 第 3 页，共 12 页 - - - - - - - - - 4 C. It uses a kind of battery for power. D. It depends on Bluetooth technology. 7. It can be inferred from the last two paragraphs that _. A. the electronic circuit is a little larger B. its very easy to make a Bikealarm C. it costs too much at present D. not many Bikealarms are produced C One afternoon, after finishing shopping in a supermarket, my family and I went to the checkout. I suddenly thought we didn t need any of the junk, and we abandoned all of those, saving $300. That got me thinking about all our pointless expenses in life. With a promise that we d stop if it was killing us, I convinced the family to take the leap into frugality(节俭 ). The rules were that we would buy nothing for 30 days except absolutely essentials. Our adventure began with a great start. By 9 a.m., my wife, Ruth, had already made cakes from old strawberries and picked flowers I didn t even know we had in the garden. I cleared the car by hand for the f irst time for years. I read and returned the neighbor s newspaper before he woke up. Total spending on the first day: $0. As days turned into weeks, we became so proficient（熟练的） at living frugally. We started riding our bikes to save gas. My childs finger painting was recycled as gift wrap for the homemade presents. We started to use an Internet application like Skype for free phone calls and ask neighbors with gardens for extra vegetables and herbs. In the end, we saved more than $2000 by not spending for a month. When we began, I imagined we would rush out the moment we were done and buy a lot of things in the supermarket, then maybe hit the mall or go to the movies. 8. We can infer from the passage that before that very afternoon, the family _. A. had had higher income B. had had a good habit of saving money C. had often spent money without thinking much D. hadn t realized they would have met financial problems9. How many things were mentioned about the things the family did to save on the first day of the “30 days ”?名师资料总结 - - -精品资料欢迎下载 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 名师精心整理 - - - - - - - 第 4 页，共 12 页 - - - - - - - - - 5 A.

A. stopped halfway B. couldn t stand the life of frugality C. would make up for missing the junk after the “30 days ” D. succeeded in saving in the end 11. This passage is mainly about _. A. how a family managed their daily life B. a familys no -buying try C. a familys way of solving life problems D. how a new idea came up D Not all bodies of water are so evidently alive as the Atlantic Ocean, an S-shaped body of water covering 33 million square miles. The Atlantic has, in a sense, replaced the Mediterranean as the inland sea of Western civilization. Unlike real inland seas, which seem strangely still, the Atlantic is rich in oceanic liveliness. It is perhaps not surprising that its vitality has been much written about by ancient poets. “Storm at Sea ”, a short poem written around 700, is generally regarded as one of mankinds earliest artistic representations of the Atlantic.When the wind is from the west All the waves that cannot rest To the east must thunder on Where the bright tree of the sun Is rooted in the oceans breast. As the poem suggests, the Atlantic is never dead and dull. It is an ocean that moves, impressively and endlessly. It makes all kinds of noise-it is forever thundering, boiling, crashing, and whistling. It is easy to imagine the Atlantic trying to draw breath-perhaps not so noticeably out in mid-ocean, but where it meets land, its waters bathing up and down a sandy beach. It 名师资料总结 - - -精品资料欢迎下载 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 名师精心整理 - - - - - - - 第 5 页，共 12 页 - - - - - - - - - 6 mimics( 模仿)nearly perfectly the steady breathing of a living creature. It is filled with symbiotic existences, too: unimaginable quantities of creatures, little and large alike, mix within its depths in a kind of oceanic harmony, giving to the waters a feeling of heartbeat, a kind of sub-ocean vitality. And it has a psychology. It has personalities: sometimes peaceful and pleasant, on rare occasions rough and wi ld; always it is strong and striking. 12. Unlike real inland seas, the Atlantic Ocean is _. A. always energetic B. lacking in liveliness C. shaped like a square D. favored by ancient poets 13. What is the purpose of using the poem “Storm at Sea ” in the passage? A. To describe the movement of the waves. B. To show the strength of the storm. C. To represent the power of the ocean. D. To prove the vastness of the sea. 14. What does the underlined word “symbiotic ” mean? A. Living together. B. Growing fast. C. Moving harmoniously. D. Breathing peacefully. 15. In the last paragraph, the Atlantic is compared to _. A. a beautiful and poetic place B. a flesh and blood person C. a wonderful world D. a lovely animal 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。注意：E=AB F=BC G=CD Do you have any problem with time?

One thing at a time 18 Do one thing at a time, and do it well. As the Chinese proverb says, “One cannot manage too many affairs.

If so, you have to check your email many, many times a day. 19 Schedule time to check your email. It doesn t matter when.
